Influencing Cities with Mighty Power

“Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord ]; for your light has come, And the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1 Amplified Bible)

​ Rising and raising others to influence this city and witness mighty miracles is the core mandate of the church. In other words, we exist to make disciples of the nations.

Bible Reading: Isaiah 60:1-6

We can influence our city on all the social, economic, political mountains of life. In faith and religion; family and health; law and governance; media and communication; science and technology; education and training; art and entertainment; business and commerce.

We must be able to influence these economic and social blocks; and witness mighty miracles right there. When the Lord walked on the earth, his influence was felt in all aspects of social, economic, and policies life. His body on earth today cannot do otherwise. we must arise and influence the cities, especially our cities.

The Bible tells us about how apostle Paul came into the city of Ephesus and found 12 committed disciples but even in the face of great opposition and unbelief, they reached all of Asia with the gospel and mighty miracles. I believe we can follow their example and fill our cities with the gospel and mighty miracles. It does not take much.

Influencing a city does not require lightening and flamboyance. Influencing your city and witnessing mighty miracles must be the common quest of the entire Christian church. We must desire to see mighty miracles and great deeds in our cities. We should want to see the cripples walking, blind eyes opened, and the oppressed liberated. (Acts 19:1-12)

The prophet instructs us in Jeremiah 4: 1-7

1. Break up your fallow grounds;don’t sow among thorns. The Lord upbraided them of their unbelief (Mark 16:14) He broke up their fallow grounds.
2. Circumcise your hearts;you cannot put new wine into old wine skins (Luke 5:37-38)
3. Arise and rally;it’s time to end oppression
4. Set up the standards towards Zion;set your mind on things above. Seek ye first the kingdom and righteousness God (Matthew 6:33)
5. Sow yourselves in righteousness;except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and die, it abides alone (John 12:24)

This is because the day of judgement is coming, it is a day reckoning. This is the day in which we shall all appear before the great king to be judged. We would all have to answer for all the things we did while on earth.

Stay blessed; I love you!
