DESCRIPTION
The 12 Gates of Influence is a expanded missionary teaching from the revelation of Johnny Enlow, author of The Seven Mountain Prophecy (2006) and from a teaching by Dr Myles Munroe in 2010. Joseph Asoh's 12 Gates of Influence itemizes and elucidates 12 key areas that make up every society where Christians are mandated to influence with the culture, lifestyle, and principles of God's Kingdom. (Matt. 6:11). These 12 key areas include: Business, Education, Entertainment, Family Life, Government, Health, Law, Media, Politics, Religion, Scientific Development, Sports. It is God's desire that every believer should extend the government of heaven to earth such that whatever heaven enjoys, the earth should enjoy also. The 12 Gates of Influence identifies 12 Sectors of Society that every believer is called to bring about change in. It is a call to bringing about change in all spheres of life beginning at the lowest levels and ascending the highest realms. It is a call to bring personal change, family change, neighborhood change, community change, regional change, national change and global change. This is in response to the mandate (Great Commission) given by Jesus Christ to make disciple of all nations. Matthew 28:19-20 The purpose of this seminar is to prepare believers [God’s battle axe in this end-time] from all walks of life to invade territories that before now have been dominated by enemies and haters of God and haters of godly principles. The strategy in fulfilling this divine mandate is in the training, equipping and mentoring of believers in the various fields of their passion and creativity through the organization of precision-tailored seminars, conferences and workshops geared towards spiritual, mental, social and economic awakening thereby raising armies of change agents that will take over Nigeria and the world in all spheres of life and preparing the earth for the ruler-ship and Lordship of Jesus Christ. This year’s 12 Gates of Influence is in collaboration with Clear Waters International Ministries, an interdenominational ministry focused on giving a unique cutting edge to mission and leadership trainings for Christians in Business, Government and other Leadership positions. This year’s 12 Gates of Influence will cover such 12 Sectors of society namely: Business, Education, Entertainment, Family, Government, Health, Law, Media, Politics, Religion Scientific Development, and Sports plus other vital areas such as Principles of National Transformation (Emulating USA, Singapore, UAE) Principles of Kingdom Advancement (The Bible’s Blue Print) The Nigerian Dream (The Next Hundred Years?)
