I’m from Oklahoma City and every year since I could remember, the day after Easter would begin our Annual Simultaneous Revival which is the longest running revival and has made such an impact within our state and nation.
Some of the greatest preachers that we have heard especially in the history of the Black Church, have come to Oklahoma City and have preached unforgettable sermons. Preachers that have motivated and inspired us to grow closer to God, encouraged us, and made us really study in depth our sermons as younger preachers in order to grow within our own ministries.
I’ve been blessed to have heard so many great preachers over the years and sermons that were wow!! These messages have stayed with me all these years, these messages have made me not quit, these messages have made me look within myself in my Christian walk and as a preacher! I love preaching and love the ministry, when you see preachers that you admire and respect and see them in action it does so much for you and it challenges and changes you for the better.
So yes I can’t wait for this week and I thank God for all the preachers that have blessed our city, our Churches, our ministries, and me personally!!!! That’s the thing is that I listen and learn, I believe God shows and reveals to us that if we want to go far in our ministries we have to put the effort into it! Just like a basketball team gets great to win championships they put time and effort into it and I feel the same in preaching; the more time, preparation, and effort you put into it the more the Lord can use you.
It shall be a blessed time and a blessed week in the Lord yes it shall, and I know that it will be that way and I know from hearing the scholarship, the craftiness, and the structure of these messages will make us all the better and motivated. Thank you Lord for this revival and praying now for our Churches, our city, our state, the guest evangelists, and that lost souls will come to Jesus Christ during this time of our city wide revival!!!
