ARE YOU READY FOR REVOLUTION? By: Major Frank Materu
Key Scripture: Romans 12:2
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will."

INTRODUCTION
The world today is engulfed in darkness, deception, and delusion. The forces of evil are not only rampant but are actively attempting to overthrow righteousness, turning even the so-called believers away from the true path of God. This is a time of great spiritual warfare, and as followers of Christ, we cannot afford to be passive.
The call for revolution is not a call to physical warfare but a spiritual uprising against the demonic forces that have invaded the church, the society, and the very fabric of human morality. True believers must rise, not with weapons of the flesh, but with unwavering faith, righteousness, and commitment to the truth of God's Word. This teaching will explore the necessity of a spiritual revolution, the battle against falsehood, and the need for believers to stand firm against evil in these perilous times.

THE NEED FOR A SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION
2 Corinthians 10:4
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds."
The world is under siege by the forces of darkness. Sin is being normalized, evil is being celebrated, and the church is being infiltrated by deception. Many so-called believers have embraced worldliness rather than holiness, and the distinction between the righteous and the wicked is becoming increasingly blurred.
A revolution is needed—a turning back to God, a rebellion against sin, and a radical commitment to holiness. This revolution must begin within our hearts, our homes, our churches, and our communities. Without it, we risk being consumed by the same darkness we are called to resist.

THE FALSE CHURCH AND ITS DECEPTION
Matthew 7:15-16
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits."
The corruption in the world is deeply tied to the corruption in the church. Many churches today have become institutions of deception, promoting prosperity rather than repentance, entertainment rather than holiness, and personal ambition rather than God's will.
These false churches lead people into spiritual blindness, allowing sin to flourish while rejecting true righteousness. Their leaders seek wealth and power rather than guiding souls to salvation. This is why true believers must rise and expose the darkness within the church itself. The revolution starts by breaking free from false teachings and returning to the pure, undiluted Word of God.

STANDING AGAINST THE POWERS OF DARKNESS
Ephesians 6:12
"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."
The war we are engaged in is spiritual. The enemy is not flesh and blood but the demonic forces that operate through human systems, false ideologies, and deception. These forces seek to destroy faith, corrupt morality, and enslave humanity under sin.
As revolutionaries of Christ, we must put on the full armor of God, standing firm in prayer, truth, righteousness, and faith. We must be vigilant, discerning, and unwavering in our pursuit of holiness.

THE CALL TO SEPARATION AND HOLINESS
2 Corinthians 6:17
"Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you."
God is calling His people to come out from the world’s corruption. A true revolution demands separation from sin and total commitment to God's standards. We cannot claim to serve God while embracing the very things that defile His name. Holiness is not an option—it is the requirement for those who desire to see the Lord.

SUMMARY
The world is under spiritual attack, and righteousness is being threatened by falsehood and deception. The church, which should be a beacon of truth, has been infiltrated by corruption. True believers must rise, not with weapons of man, but with the power of God, rejecting sin and embracing holiness.

CONCLUSION
The revolution God calls us to is not one of violence but of unwavering faith, righteousness, and commitment to His truth. The battle is not against people but against the spiritual forces that seek to destroy faith and morality. If we do not rise against this wickedness, we become complicit in it.

FINAL WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Galatians 6:9
"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
The journey of a revolutionary is not easy, but God is with those who remain faithful. Stand firm, be bold, and trust in the Lord. He is our strength, our guide, and our victory. The battle is already won in Christ—walk in that victory.
