REBUILD, REPAIR, REVIVE: THE REVIVALIST’S BLUEPRINT (3)

Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional

Date: Friday, 23 May 2025

Topic: Rebuild, Repair, Revive: The Revivalist’s Blueprint (3)

Focus: Restoring the Foundations


Message:

Every generation needs builders—revivalists who carry fire, vision, and burden. In a time when altars have been neglected, convictions watered down, and spiritual foundations broken, God is raising those who will return to the ruins and restore what has been lost. This devotional series is a call to action. Not just to weep—but to build. Not just to pray—but to repair. Not just to long for revival—but to carry it. So, beloved, you are the blueprint. Let’s rise—and rebuild.


📖 Key Verse:

Isaiah 58:12 – “…you will raise up the age-old foundations…”


Devotional:

You can’t build anything lasting on a crumbling foundation. Even fire, glory, and gifting must rest on truth, identity, and obedience. Revival isn’t just emotional—it’s structural. It’s more than noise. It’s rooted in doctrine, anchored in truth, and built on the Word of God. The Church today doesn’t just need passion—it needs foundation. The foundation of sound teaching. The foundation of holiness. The foundation of the fear of the Lord. Isaiah prophesied that revivalists would raise up age-old foundations—not invent new ones.


📖 Scripture Reading:

  • Matthew 7:24–27 – “The wise man builds his house on the rock…”
  • 2 Timothy 2:19 – “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm…”

💧 Refreshing for the Day:

So, beloved, we don’t need to reinvent the gospel. We need to return to it. We are not called to be clever—we are called to be faithful. The glory of the future will rest on the foundations we lay today. It’s time to restore what’s been neglected—so the fire can rest securely. So, ask God to show you where your personal or ministerial foundation needs strengthening. Is it truth? Character? Conviction? Realign today and pour concrete in the Spirit. Stay Refreshed!


Note This:

The deeper the foundation, the higher the fire can rise.


🛡️ Responsibility:

  1. Review your spiritual foundations—your beliefs, convictions, and priorities.
  2. Recommit to studying and standing on the Word, even when culture shifts.

🙏 Prayer:

Lord, restore truth in me. Rebuild every cracked place in my foundation. Make me strong enough to carry the weight of Your fire and glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen!


🔥 Prophetic Declaration:

I rebuild on the Rock! No more shallow soil—only solid ground! God is restoring my foundations so I can carry lasting revival! Alleluia!


📖 Bible Texts:

Isaiah 58:12, Matt. 7:24-25, 2 Tim. 2:9
