Revive Australia, O Lord

Saturday, 29 March 2008 - Posted by Pastor Mario

FACT: Australia is becoming increasingly a secular nation.

QUESTION: Why is this happening?

ANSWER: Simply because the vast majority of Australian Christians do not seek revival for their country.

Let me ask you, when was the last time you bowed the knee and fervently prayed for God to revive Australia?

When did you last pray for the Holy Spirit to work mightily in this land and change people’s hearts and lives?

God is willing to revive Australia but only if His people are prepared to “humble themselves, and pray”.

We Australians have become a very proud people. Self reigns supreme. Prayer has literally gone out the window. Yet we say we seek Revival for this spiritually barren land.

At Metropolitan Baptist Church we want to do our part to bring revival to Australia.

Why not join us for prayer on Wednesday night or Saturday morning? Why not get involved in Life Stages classes or sit under the preaching of the Word of God during our Sunday morning and Sunday night classes?

And get involved in our regular Saturday morning soul-winning outreach.

If you are serious about seeing revival in Australia you will be excited about the prospect of doing something for God this month.

Also, don’t miss the 2008 Southland Bible Conference 16-18 April hosted by Bethany and Lighthouse Baptist Churches.

As Pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church I invite you to join us in 2008 as we seek to revive our hearts for Australia.

Missions has always played a major role in the life of Metro with the first Missions Conference in 1975 raising over $7000 for the cause of Christ and missions.
