Dimapur, June 29: “Heaven and earth are in alignment tonight!” shouted Worship leader Imtirenla Sayer, even as the Worship team began to lead the congregation in joyful singing at the 28th revival meeting of the ongoing 40 Days of Revival here at Life Spring Corner, Dimapur, on Tuesday, June 28.
Afterwards, the evening’s speaker Professor Imchayanger, senior pastor, Ao Revival Church, Dimapur, in his sermon said, “When you expect blessings from God, you should not be limited by your expectations. When you come to God, you don’t dictate to God. When God works in you, that is Revival. Even this evening we are here to let God work in us.”
Reiterating to the congregation seated that in everything there is a purpose, the speaker said that God created the world with a purpose. “And you are here with a purpose. And the main purpose for everything is for the glory to God,” the speaker stated, and asked how we would glorify God. “We glorify Him by exalting Him, by praising Him,” he said.
Reading out Ephesians 5:18 ‘Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit’, the speaker compared a drunkard with one filled with the Holy Spirit. “When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, one is bold and not shy.”
Addressing the congregation again, the speaker noted that everyone had come in search of a new life, new beginning, and in search of victory over sin, over sickness, etc., “but”, he said, “the more you struggle with sin, the more entangled you will be. When you go near to God, the nearer you go to Him, the farther you go from sin. So, just submit to God, come before Him. When we submit to God, He is there to work in us,” he encouraged.
Encouraging the congregation to read the Bible, the speaker said that the Word of God and the Spirit of God works together. “If we do not read the Word of God, we would be like a blind man, and if you do not have the Spirit of God, we would be like a paralyzed person,” he added.
40 Days of Revival is being held at Life Spring Corner, Dimapur, till July 3 next. From July 4 till July 10, the revival meetings will be held at the DDSC (Public Ground), Dimapur. Timing will continue to be from 4:30 PM.
