ARE YOU READY FOR REVOLUTION? By Major Frank Materu
Key Scripture:
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Introduction
In the spiritual landscape of our time, God is calling His true believers to rise as revolutionaries against the forces of darkness, sin, and falsehood that have invaded both the world and the church. This revolution is not about physical violence but about spiritual resistance, standing for truth, and confronting the pervasive evil of our age. The question is: Are you ready to join this divine revolution? This lesson examines the necessity of this spiritual revolution and provides guidance for believers to take their rightful place in God’s plan.
1. The Urgency of Spiritual Revolution
The world is under siege by demonic forces that aim to destroy righteousness and promote wickedness. These forces have infiltrated churches, governments, and society at large, leading many astray. God’s call for a revolution is urgent, as the time to confront this evil is now.
Supportive Scripture:
Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV)
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
2. The Role of True Believers in Revolution
Believers are called to be revolutionaries who resist sin and expose the works of darkness. This involves tearing down falsehoods, confronting hypocrisy, and living as examples of righteousness. Jesus Christ, the ultimate revolutionary, provides the perfect model for this mission.
Supportive Scripture:
John 8:12 (NKJV)
"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, 'I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.'”
3. Confronting Falsehood in the Church
Many churches have become corrupted by worldly desires, embracing sin and teaching false doctrines. These so-called “houses of worship” often lead people further into darkness rather than pointing them to the light of Christ. True believers must expose this hypocrisy and call others to repentance.
Supportive Scripture:
2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NKJV)
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables."
4. Resisting the Temptation to Conform
Revolutionaries must resist the temptation to conform to the world’s standards of sin, corruption, and compromise. Instead, they must remain steadfast in their commitment to God’s Word and His ways.
Supportive Scripture:
James 4:7 (NKJV)
"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
Summary
God’s call for revolution is a mandate for His people to stand against the growing darkness in the world and the church. Believers must resist sin, confront falsehood, and live as examples of Christ’s revolutionary love and truth. This spiritual revolution requires courage, faith, and unwavering dedication to God’s purposes.
Conclusion
The revolution is not optional; it is essential for those who claim to follow Christ. As revolutionaries, believers must reject the sin and deception of this age and shine as lights in the darkness. God’s power and presence will equip and sustain all who step forward to join this divine mission.
