Dear Friend,
Did you know that when God invades the earth, He startles the nations? This is the heart of revival. Past revivals show us waves of repentance and miracles that turn hearts to God en masse, but the days and years leading up to it often don’t reveal that a wild move of God is coming. Look around you right now. The world has seen so much plague and pestilence in the last few years that we may sound like a broken record when we say Revival is Coming; yet, the Bible confirms that even pestilence is an affirmative sign of revival.
“God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. His brightness was like the light; He had rays flashing from His hand, and there His power was hidden. Before Him went pestilence, and fever followed at His feet.
– Habakkuk 3:3-5
When the prophet, Habakkuk, had this vision, things were dire for Israel. However, the prophet who understood the times knew God had only permitted the pestilence and would use it for His purpose. Dear Christian, learn from this. Our wait for revival is not a passive one. It is a time for three things: Intimacy, Empowerment, and Exploits.
Intimacy
Like Habakkuk, it is time to take a position. “Who is on the Lord’s side?” is not a rhetorical question. It is a call to intimacy because intimacy is the standpoint from which you will understand what God is trying to do. Intimacy is the place of open eyes and adjustment. It is where we take the right position and align ourselves critically with the Lord. The opposite is distance, and the result of that is seen in Proverbs 29:18: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.” My prayer for you today is that God will give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know Him better (Ephesians 1:17).
Empowerment
In Mark 3:14, the Bible shows us that Jesus called the disciples to Himself and then He’d send them out to preach. This order is important—the first call is to intimacy with Jesus before we are sent out. When the disciples gathered in the Upper Room in prayer, they became empowered, receiving courage and boldness to declare the Good News. As we fellowship with and minister to the Lord, empowerment comes from the Holy Spirit because “those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits (Daniel 11:32)”. Today, God is saying to you, “Have I not told you? Be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:9).”
Exploits
Stand firm because after intimacy and empowerment will come exploits, just as it was when the Upper Room was invaded by God. When Jesus was about to leave the earth, He told His disciples not to be afraid of wars, plagues, and pestilence because the end will not come until the gospel of the Kingdom has been preached to all nations (Matthew 24:4-14). Brethren, God is preparing us and building an army that He will use in these critical times to preach the gospel to all nations and do exploits that draw people to Him.
Dear friend, it is time to position yourself in intimacy so you can be empowered for exploits. God is about to invade the earth, and all eyes will see it.
Shalom,
Watch When God Walks In.

God bless you sir.
I pray for more grace in jesus name..
Sir how can one build an effective intimacy with God?
Cultivate a relationship with Him by reading His Word daily to hear from Him. Spend time in prayer speaking to God and also patiently waiting to hear from Him. The Bible says in all your ways, acknowledge Him—it’s a piece of simple but effective advice. Even as you go about day, speak to God as you would a friend and listen for His voice.
thank you for this sound advise 🙏
Hmmm. ‘Speak to God as you would a friend and listen for his voice’.
Thank you so much for this Mins. Oyekan
Thank you Min. Dunsin
Wow, thank you so much Man of God. This is the call I will not be ignorant of. Thank you for opening my eyes that I may walk into what God desires for me… I will stay in the place of intimacy so that I get empowered for exploits. This is the time indeed. I love and honor you Sir. Thank you.

Thank you and remain
Thank you so much sir
You are A BLESSING SIR YOU ARE LIFTED
Greater heights Sir
When I read this in the midnight (US timing), I felt, God, thank you for making your Son a horn to blow this alarm at a time like this, preserve him.
And to imagine that the later hours of the day will want to have the Devil publize the glory of God through his (the devil) failed attempt is just enough for me to say “God, her I am” for the invasion of your revival.
Thank you Minister Dunsin

Hmmm, This is deep. Thank you sir for this. I just had a dream. Then I woke up and picked up my phone and it landed me here. And this is the exact interpretation of the dream I had. More grace sir.
This is my first time here and it’s significant.
Thank you sir!

We are his sheep and we hear his voice
The lord had me speak to a group of women on the 1st of Sept. on building intimacy with the holy spirit inorder to be empowered for the kingdom task ahead because an Army is Rising.
I totally agree with you my brother the season is upon us to be intimate with the holy spirit, receive empowement not for show but for kingdom service to rescue men from hell into the kingdom of our Lord.
We will shake this world for God.
All men shall come to the knowledge of Christ….
You’re a huge blessing to me sir
Thank you for sharing this admonition, sir.
My greatest desire has been to love God and show others how to do the same. It’s been tough because I haven’t been able to build that effective relationship with the Holy Spirit. I find myself rushing through prayer and studying the word, but spending more time on other things like chores, social media, and my days start and end without anything solid with God.
I don’t have a community to talk to, or people I can confidently approach to teach me how to develop my relationship with God… I’ve been the one trying to work it out through sermons I’ve been taught in church, or listened to through my phone. I don’t want my growth hot today, and cold tomorrow…
How can I build consistency and discipline?
Since you’ve already identified that you rush. Be deliberate about slowing down and staying with Him. Good community is also important, and I pray God nests you in the right place
How does one talk to God to build intimacy ? By speaking in tongues for long ? and how does one hear God too ? Please I need help
My name is Judy from Kenya,I have been praying on the mountain since Monday,and I came with prayer points but the spirit told me to forget about the prayer points and spend time with Him intimacy it’s not an area I have been strong at like I just stopped praying and started worshipping when I was looking for songs to listen to He put your songs in my heart and I had never really listened to them before even after Rhema feast I was there when you ministered,but that’s what the Holy spirit wanted,and as I listened God has been delivering me as we pray for restoration to our original purpose,yesterday the HS told me every new move of God has a new sound and I believe Sir you are being used by God for the upcoming revival,I now understand why the devil wanted to kill you,I understand why God brought you in our nation infact I have had to listen the ministration again now with understanding,I want to say thank you,my life has been changed and I thank God for you,only Him knows,so this message about revival relates deep in my spirit the Lord is calling us back to Himself first before He sends us,Ameeeen and to Him be the glory for all that He is doing,I celebrate you
Thanks sir for this great word.
Sir I’ve been a follower for some time now but of recent I notice there’s this repeating circle in my life and journey with the Lord.
When I begin this race with Christ late 2017 have been going off and on seriously like it been a burden on me now, 2019-2020 I was seriously soaked with the Holy Spirit cause I put God First in all I do but come 2021 till the day of writing this was different. I notice I don’t give God and His things priorities anymore and it’s been a burden to me, my Spiritual mother had to call me few days back and said she was trying to pray for me and God told her “why are you praying for someone that don’t want to know if I(God) exist, that’s he won’t be the one to chase after me ” since she told me this have been really sad inside but another part of me is Saying Move On, I know how God used to deal with me and i don’t want it to come to that.
Sir please what advice and recommendations will you give me as a sheep who has lost touch with his Shepard.
I don’t want to wait till it’s late, I want to get it right and get it forever, Without looking back.
Thanks sir
I celebrate you
I have to come to Him and say into me see every day. May the Lord help us to make time to be searched. Thank you, Sir.
Amen. Thanks papa. More of Christ in you and more of you in him in Jesus name.
Help me Holy Spirit.
