The Conviction of sin in Revival & Reformation #15 (Nehemiah 1) by Gideon Mpeni featuring Watoto Children Choir - a podcast by gideon macgovern

A deep conviction of Sin is one of the marks that must be present in any revival, as we see in the first chapter of Nehemiah, and in Today's episode, we focus on that. Brian Edwards states that,

"If there are three things that are common to all true revivals they are prayer, preaching and a conviction of sin. If we are to expect revival in these days, we must expect it to hurt."

What is the problem?

But we find ourselves at the backdrop of a moral decay and lack of zeal among the people of God, where it is evident that, "this little church has gone to the market" to the point that in recent years we have been busy trying to convince the world by our Christian clowns and comedians, and by our big, happy events, that Christianity is fun. The reason why the world does not take Christianity seriously is because Christians don't

Revival does not persuade the world that the Christian faith is fun, but that it is essential. There is a colossal difference.

The first work of the Spirit is not to tell us that we can be happy, but that we must be holy because God is.

What kind of men then did God use in Revival?

The kind of men God has used in revival were men who trembled at sin and whose conscience was sensitive to the approach of sin; men who did not try to justify their lazy, careless habits, but who lived disciplined and determined lives.

If there is one thing common to the men God uses in revival it is that they fear nothing but God and sin.

The reason for this is that revival is always a revival of holiness, and therefore the vessels God uses must be holy.
