MFM Daily Devotional 5 April 2024 Message
King Hezekiah was an agent of revival and reformation. He lived in a corrupt and wicked era where idolatry, witchcraft and all kinds of evil thrived. He, having given his life wholly to God, sought to also bring others back to God. His father had desecrated the altars and temple of God. He had shut the doors of God’s house to true worshippers and had engaged all kinds of heathen practices.
When Hezekiah came on board, he opened the house of God, cleansed and repaired it. He corrected all the religious errors of his father. He gathered the priests and levites. He appeased the wrath of God by sin offerings. He reformed the land. He was an early riser to church (vs 20), he brought back godly music and spread revival quickly at a very young age.
READ MFM Daily Devotional 4 April 2024 – Lessons from the Life of Hezekiah (II)
Beloved, in your local environment and your sphere of influence, what are you doing to spread Christ, both in your deed and actions? How are you influencing the people around you to serve God or are you the one discouraging people from serving God, causing division among the people of God? If we must see revival in our days, it will start with us, the conditions of our hearts and then can spread to others. What role are you playing to ensure that God’s will is done on earth as it is in heaven?
“And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?” As part of his reformation agenda, he brought water into the city. What are you bringing into the fold, beloved? What are you bringing to the table? Some are bringing division and rebellion. Some are bringing gossip and contentions. In his days, John Knox prayed, “Give me Scotland or I die.” He wasn’t praying for himself but was praying to see the revival of his land and generation. Pastors, workers, members and you in particular, I ask you today, what are you bringing on board? Also, because of Hezekiah, we have been able to read certain portion of the book of Proverbs- Proverbs 25:1. May God help us to align with His purpose, in Jesus’ name.
