Bible Reading: Acts 2: 44-47
Memory Verse: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life… Matthew 28:19 (MSG)
Here are a few honest, biblical, and practical perspectives:
1. Revival That Stays Inside the Church: Many meetings focus on emotional experiences inside the church but do not lead to long-term transformation outside the church. True revival should go beyond falling under anointing, speaking in tongues, or dancing and shouting. It should lead to changed lives, ethical businesses, building God-fearing politicians, and honest students and workers. For instance, in Acts 2, the Holy Spirit came in power. But after that, the people began to share what they had, care for the poor, and influence society. It wasn’t just church fire, it became city fire!
2. Lack of Discipleship and Kingdom Mindset: Churches are full, but hearts are not being transformed through deep discipleship. Many Christians don’t know how to apply God’s word in business, government, education, media, family, etc. Jesus said, “Go and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19); not just “church-goers.” We are not to disciple people to be “churchy” but “kingdom ambassadors.”
3. Avoiding the Seven Mountains of Influence: Many believers believe success outside the church is carnal or unspiritual, so we have abandoned politics to the corrupt, media to the immoral, schools to the ungodly, economy to the greedy. And now, we are praying against the same systems we refused to enter and influence. If Daniel had not been in politics, Babylon would have perished. If Joseph had not been in government, Egypt would have starved. Again, we are to be kingdom ambassadors.
4. Preaching That Prioritises Prosperity Without Responsibility: Some messages focus only on breakthrough, miracles and “receive it now!” but neglect integrity, hardwork, justice, or civic responsibility. Prosperity without responsibility becomes corruption.
5. Cycles of Poverty Continue Because Systems Aren’t Changed: Churches may give food or do charity, which is good. But if we don’t build systems (schools, businesses, policies), poverty will always return. We shouldn’t help people barely to survive but to thrive.
6. Gospel Without Justice: We preach salvation, but we forget, “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8). God’s kingdom is about justice for the oppressed, freedom for captives, peace in the land. If we preach Christ but ignore injustice, our gospel is incomplete.
Quote: We need nation building messages incorporated into many church programs and sermons.
Prophetic Decree: May the good Lord baptise His Church with a societal reformation mindset and strategy, in Jesus name.
Prayer Focus
1. We repent as a body of Christ for not fully pursuing our mandate.
2. Lord, build your Church, in the name of Jesus.
3. My Father, raise up transformational leaders for your kingdom, in Jesus name.
4. Revival that leads to generational transformation shall proceed from the Church, in Jesus name.
5. Any obstacle to true revival, we dismantle, in Jesus name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 22, John 13
