Episode 7 Summary:
In this episode, Tola builds on the 2025 theme of Revival, focusing on the importance of acknowledging our need for help and crying out to God for it. Drawing from Romans 8:26-27, she explains how the Holy Spirit intercedes for us in our weaknesses, prompting us to examine the areas of our lives that need revival. Tola reminds listeners that asking for help is the first step toward real change and transformation.
Key Takeaways:
The Role of the Holy Spirit in Revival:
- Romans 8:26-27 reminds us that the Spirit intercedes for us, helping us in our weaknesses and guiding us toward alignment with God’s will.
- Revival begins with self-examination, prompted by the Holy Spirit, to identify the areas in our lives that are not responding to God.
Acknowledge Your Need for Help:
- Crying out to God for help is an act of humility and acknowledgment of our human frailty.
- Just as patients in healthcare must accept the treatment plan, we must accept God’s help to bring revival to our lives.
Revival Is for Everyone:
- Revival isn’t just for one area of life—it’s needed in our homes, careers, relationships, and personal walk with God.
- It’s an act of intercession when the Holy Spirit calls us to examine and revive the areas that are "dead" or unresponsive to God’s will.
Are You Ready for Real Change?
- Asking for help is the first sign you’re ready for revival.
- Real change requires more than just acknowledgment—it requires a willingness to act and accept God’s guidance.
Reflection Questions:
- Are there areas of your life that you’ve recognized as needing revival?
- Have you asked God for help in those areas?
Practical Application:
- Spend time in prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal areas that need revival.
- Use Romans 8:26-27 as a guide in your prayers:
“Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses… He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” - Be open to God’s guidance and ready to take action as He leads you toward real change.
Closing Encouragement:
Revival begins with acknowledging your need for help and crying out to God. The Holy Spirit is ready to intercede on your behalf and guide you through the process of transformation. Don’t just recognize the symptoms—take the next step and accept the help God is offering.
