True Revival (Key of Multiplication)

The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20, NIV) starts with the word “GO”! Revival is never meant to stay in one place. It starts in one heart, one home, one church, and multiplies.

From Azusa Street to Asbury University, the DNA of revival is multiplication. In nations where acknowledging Christ in public entails sure and swift death, the fastest-growing churches are led by ordinary people—many of them women—who disciple others in secret.

This is the heart of multiplication: revival isn’t about a preacher, a place, or even a moment. It’s where God’s Spirit flows through ordinary people standing united together to reach the nations. As you look to carry the fire, consider these:

1. Revival doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s often born in the quiet partnership of those who choose to stand together in faith. In Acts 9:26–27 (NIV), we read about one man, Barnabas, who took a risk to stand beside Saul. That simple act opened the door for Saul (later Paul) to become one of the most influential voices in church history. Who needs your encouragement, advocacy, or partnership in the Gospel?
2. Persecution scattered the believers, but they carried the Gospel boldly. Revived believers view opposition and persecution not only as real but also as a catalyst for the spread of the Gospel and an opportunity to engage in acts of love that reveal Christ to those around them.
3. God often uses the young. Like King Josiah or Timothy in Scripture, the Spirit of God uses the desire for authenticity and the openness to change in a young person’s heart to usher in lasting transformation.

Will you carry the fire, or let it fade?

Prayer: Lord, let the revival You begin in me not stop with me. Use me to carry Your fire to my family, my campus, my city, and the nations. Make me a disciple who multiplies disciples for Your glory.
