INTRODUCTION

The 12 Gates of Influence is an expansion of

an apostolic revelation fully captured by Lance Wallnau and Johnny Enlow in their books titled THE SEVEN MOUNTAINS MANDATE and THE SEVEN MOUNTAIN PROPHECY respectively.

3

The 12 Gates of Influence identifies 12 Sectors of Society that every believer is called to bring about change in it. It’s a call to bringing about change in all spheres of life beginning at the lowest levels and ascending the highest realms

4

5

Influencing the Market-place with the principles of The Twelve Gates is the heart beat of God today

This is a response to the mandate (Great Commission) given by Jesus Christ to make disciple of all nations. Matthew 28:19-20

6

Matt. 28:18-20 18 “Then Jesus came to them and said, "All

authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." [NIV]

SCOPE (COVERAGE)A.Exposition of the theme “From glory to glory”

from the textB.12 Areas of Influence (Main Message)C.Tools for Local Impact & Global Dominance

(The Seven Spirits of God) D.Work Group/Question & Answer Session

9

PURPOSE (VISION)The purpose of this seminar is to prepare believers [God’s battle axe in this end-time] that are graduates of all educational institutions to invade territories that before now have been dominated by enemies and haters of God and haters of godly principles.

10

STRATEGY (MISSION)The strategy in fulfilling this divine mandate is in the training, equipping and mentoring of graduate 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.

11

STARTLING REALITIES The world’s biggest investments are been

controlled by unbelievers and haters of God Haters of God and Satanists are investing heavily

into activities that will pollute and corrupt the world in all the sectors of society

As long as the control of resources is in the hands of haters of God, today's believers will be incapacitated in fulfilling the Great Commission today.

12

Several ministers erroneously believe that we are called to Salvation so we can escape the Earth to Heaven in the event of Rapture. They fail to recall Jesus teachings in the Gospel

13

JESUS’ INSTRUCTION Luke 19:13 “Occupy till I come”

[KJV]

14

WE HOLD THE KEY TO THE END Matt. 24:14

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”[NIV]

Acts 3:21“whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” [NKJV]

15

DUALITY OF THE CALL Every believers is called into a Ministry of Duality Neh. 4:17-18

17“Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon. 18 Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.” [NKJV]

16

Tool (your handwork, your talent, your career,

your profession, your skill etc) in one hand your Tool gives you access and platform to meet

with all kinds of people your Tool is the equipment for Inter-phasing with

the world Babylon This is what is called Duality of The Believers

Ministry referred to as “Royal Priesthood” by Apostle Peter

Weapon (your spiritual arsenals: Armour of God, Fruit of the Spirit, Gifts of the Spirit, Ministry Gifts) on the other hand.

The Government of the Kingdom of God is an extension of the operational principles of the Government of Heaven to Planet Earth.

It is a system of government in which the values, principles, culture and lifestyle of God in heaven is exported to Planet Earth. In essence, Earth is being colonized by Heaven.

The sum total of the operational principles of God is expressed in Christianity or ‘Christ-likeness’ because Jesus Christ was the first man to depict and total exemplify the nature of the life of God on Planet Earth.

All humans are therefore demanded to emulate the life of Christ in order to please God who is the King of the Kingdom.

24

The Government of the Kingdom is run by Jesus Christ who is described as The Lion and The Lamb symbolic of Judgement (Justice) & Mercy (Grace), the amazing synergy of Master of All and yet Servant of All.

TOOLS FOR LOCAL IMPACT AND GLOBAL DOMINANCE

The Call to invade the nations cannot be achieved by mere human endowment (intellectual capabilities, philosophical sophistications, economic might, special skills or genetic inheritance) but by the counter-influence and equipment of the Holy Spirit.

[2 Cor. 10:4-6, Gal. 5:19-23, Eph. 6:10-18] ‘The weapons of our warfare are not carnal

but are mighty through God for the pulling down of stronghold...’ – 2 Cor. 4:6
