There is no way to increase Revenue and Liabilities in a single transaction. Another reason for this is the accounting equation.
Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity
In double entry accounting there must be a debit and a credit that equals. You want to "increase" liabilities and revenue with a single entry, this cannot be done because and increase in liabilities relies on a credit entry as does an increase in revenue.
Assets maintain a Debit Balance, meaning they increase with a debit.
Liabilities maintain a Credit Balance, meaning the increase with a credit.
Owners Equity maintains a Credit Balance, increasing with credit.
Revenue is an OWNERS EQUITY ACCOUNT and therefore increases with a credit.
Say you desired to increase Liabilities $500 and Revenue $500 in a single entry, you couldn't because you'd need to "credit" liabilities $500 and "credit" revenue $500, but you MUST have a "debit" that equals the same amount of credits.

What will a decrease a revenue and a increase liability?
I can think of nothing that will do that in one transaction. Revenue generally does not effect your liabilities. Revenue is an Owners Equity account and most transactions in revenue effect that, not liabilities. (there is one exception and it is explained later on.)Expenses decrease revenue, which in turn decreases retained earnings which effects owners equity.Dividends Paid decrease retained earnings, which in turns also effects owners equity.The only time any "revenue" has an effect on liabilities is if it is an "unearned" revenue. An unearned revenue is a liability, however, it "increases" your liabilities and increases your assets at the same time. Once the unearned revenue is "earned" it then increases your "revenue" and you decrease your liability.
What is the journal entry for prepaid income?
The journal entry for prepaid income is a debit to the Cash account and a credit to the Unearned Revenue account. The Unearned Revenue account is a liability. The rationale for such an entry is that this is income received in advance. This means that the income has not been earned since the services have not yet been performed. When the services have been performed it is appropriate to recognize the revenue and offset the liability account, unearned revenue.

Deferrals are either prepaid expenses or unearned revenues. Adjustments are made for deferrals to record the portion that represents either the expense incurred or the revenue earned. An adjustment for prepaid expenses increases an expense and decreases an asset account. An adjustment for unearned revenue increases a revenue account and decreases a liability account. Accruals are either accrued revenues or accrued expenses. Adjustments are made for accruals to record revenues from services performed that have yet to be collected. An adjustment for accrued revenues increases an asset account and increases a revenue account. An adjustment for accrued expenses increases an expense account and increases a liability account.
