Welcome to Week 2 of our 21 days of prayer and fasting! This week, we were incredibly blessed to have guest speaker James Aladiran bring a stirring, prophetic word titled “Lord, Revive Us Again.”
Diving deep into Matthew 16, James challenges our modern definition of ‘church.’ When Jesus said, “I will build my church,” He used the word Ecclesia—a historical term for a group of citizens sent to transform a newly conquered territory so that it reflects the culture of their home kingdom. As believers, we are called to be that Ecclesia in our communities, bringing the culture of Heaven to earth.
Jesus also declared that His house would be called a “house of prayer for all nations.” This message is a holy wake-up call, reminding us that a church truly built by Christ is marked by a passionate, territorial culture of prayer. It is not just about gathering for a good sermon or great music; it is about partnering with Heaven to see our cities transformed, strongholds broken, and the gates of hell defeated.
What this means for you
Revival does not start in a big stadium. It starts in a praying heart and a praying church. Jesus said, my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations (Mark 11:17). As All Nations Community Church, those words mean a lot to us.
We are not just a group that meets on Sundays. We are God's people, sent into our streets, schools and workplaces to bring the culture of heaven. That starts on our knees. When we pray, things change: in us, in our families and in our city.
Why not join us for one of our prayer meetings? Or start by praying for five minutes every day for your street, your family and our church. Ask God to do it again in our day.
