*DAILY DEW 31/JANUARY/2023*
*LEONARD RAVENHILL* (V)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth."* (Isaiah 62:6-7 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
To such men as this the church owes a debt too heavy to pay. The curious thing is that
she seldom tries to pay him while he lives, but the next generation builds his sepulcher
and writes his biography, as if instinctively and awkwardly to discharge an obligation
the previous generation to a large extent ignored.
Those who know Leonard Ravenhill will recognize in him the religious specialist,
the man sent from God not to carry on the conventional work of the church, but to beard the priests of Baal on their own mountaintop, to shame the careless priest at the altar, to
face the false prophet and warn the people who are being led astray by him.
Such a man as this is not an easy companion. The professional evangelist who leaves
the wrought-up meeting as soon as it is over to hie him to the most expensive restaurant
to feast and crack jokes with his retainers will find this man something of an
embarrassment, for he cannot turn off the burden of the Holy Ghost as one would turn off
a faucet. He insists upon being a Christian all the time, everywhere; and again, that
marks him out as different.
Toward Leonard Ravenhill it is impossible to be neutral. His acquaintances are
divided pretty neatly into two classes, those who love and admire him out of all proportion and those who hate him with perfect hatred. And what is true of the man is
sure to be true of his books, of this book(Why Revival Tarries). The reader will either close its pages to seek a
place of prayer or he will toss it away in anger, his heart closed to its warnings and
appeals.
_MEDITATION:_
*"What kind of person will you be remembered for? A person whose life brought unforgettable impact in this life unto God's glory? Or someone who just passed this earth without any eternal contributions?"* - E.D.J.
