  • REVIVE US Series| Chimdi Ohahuna| A CALL FOR PERSONAL REVIVAL. When God loves you, His will becomes a higher priority than your own. This divine love calls us into a deeper relationship with Him, where our personal desires, dreams, and visions may be challenged and transformed. Walking with God often presents its greatest difficulty in the form of obedience. In our journey of faith, we may find that to truly obey God, we must surrender our own will, allowing our personal aspirations and goals to fade away in deference to His divine purpose. Obedience is not a matter of convenience; it is a demanding and costly endeavor that requires the relinquishment of self. Indeed, the scripture reminds us that "to obey is better than sacrifice" (1 Samuel 15:22). Obedience stands as a discipline that is, at times, more challenging than the act of sacrificing something tangible. It involves a transformation where we become the sacrifice ourselves, this is what being a "living sacrifice" as described in Romans 12:1-4 really entails. Here, our personal ambitions and desires must die, making way for God's will to take precedence. The crux of obedience lies in this surrender—dying to our own visions and aspirations in order to embrace God's higher calling. God seeks living sacrifices within the Church, not mere symbolic offerings. Until we are fully dead to self-interests, we cannot be used effectively for His purposes. It is a profound truth that we cannot simultaneously be alive to our own desires and fully engage with God in the richness of His love and plans for us. Only through this death to self can we truly experience the fullness of life in Him. Join us as we explore the importance of revival, its implications for Ghana and the nations, and the transformative impact it can have on our lives and the world around us. This is a call to Arise! Listen to the full session. Jesus is Lord. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gracelife-comi/support
