REVOLUTION:
1.) A forcible overthrow of an established government or political system by the people governed.
2.) A complete, pervasive, usually radical change in something, often one made relatively quickly.
REVOLUTIONARY:
A person who advocates or takes part in a revolution.
Students: You can start a revolution. You can be a revolutionary. How? By rising up to overthrow the worldly darkness in your world and replace it with the light of God's truth, love, and righteousness. In his first letter to Timothy, the Apostle Paul encouraged him to rise up against worldliness and fight for godliness: "But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith." (1 Timothy 6:11-12). As a revolutionary, you will be fighting hard to advance the Christian faith, but take courage, students. You do not fight the good fight of the faith alone. In Joshua 1:9, God says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Be strong and courageous, students. Fight the good fight of the faith. Start a revolution for God's kingdom in your schools!
If you want to start a revolution for God's kingdom in your school, then make this commitment to God today:
Father, I want to be a revolutionary! I will, with Your strength, and the backing of my brothers and sisters in Christ, fight the good fight of the faith. I commit to leading a holy uprising in my school by following your son Jesus radically, living for Him and like Him, no matter the cost! Amen.
