2 Chronicles 29:1-36
God is calling us to be holy - ‘Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the House of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filth from the holy place’(5). Before there can be true rejoicing in the Lord - ‘they sang praises with gladness’- , there must be real dedication to the Lord - ‘We have cleansed all the House of the Lord’(30,18). Before there can be rejoicing, there must be restoration (35-36). We may pray, ‘Restore, O Lord, the honour of Your Name!’. We must also pray, ‘Cleanse me from my sin, Lord’. The prayer for revival begins with the dedication of our own lives to the Lord - ‘O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee; send a revival - start the work in me’(Mission Praise, 579, 82, 587). Revival can happen ‘suddenly’(36). It will not happen without a true return to the Lord.
