BIBLE STUDY OUTLINE

THEME: REVIVE YOUR WORK (PEOPLE) IN THE MIDST OF THE YEARS.
TOPIC: DIVIDENDS OF GENUINE REVIVAL
TEXT: ACTS 2:41-47

INTRODUCTION
Genuine revival orchestrated by the Holy Spirit, transforms an individual as well as the society thus engendering godliness and widespread righteousness. It creates a hunger for more of God and abhors all forms of unrighteousness. This is opposed to false revival that appeals to mundane issues of this life without eternal value. We urgently need genuine revival in our generation to counter the falsehood that is in present day Christianity.
