Topic: Revivalists' humility and cooperation (Apostolic Revival)
Acts 8:13-14 KJV
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. [14] Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
The sorcerer believed, he was baptized and continued with Philip. All he saw was a greater power, that was why he followed The power of God was demonstrated beyond any doubt.
In the midst of this great manifestation, Philip still humbled himself and submitted to his leaders. Many young ministers, the day the begin to speak in tongues is when they start showing arrogance and disrespect to their leaders. Maybe they prayed for someone and there was testimony, their leaders suddenly becomes valueless to them. These are the things limiting ministers in our days and thereby killing revivals.

The news of Philip's citywide crusade got to Jerusalem from Samaria, and two Apostles were sent and Philip received them happily. There was perfect cooperation, no strife, envy or competition in their midst, Jesus was the center of all their actions.
Are you humble enough to be used by God?
Will you not suddenly begin to fly on the wings of pride, taking God's glory?

Deal with everything that seeks self-glorification, or self-announcement in you, so that you can be a vessel unto honour.
"2 Timothy 2:21 KJV
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work."
"2 Timothy 2:21 KJV

Prayers: Oh Lord Jesus, take away everything seeking self-glorification in me, equip and fortify me for the forth coming revival.
Remain blessed
