Your mission is not about personal gains. It’s about creating some good for the public. It is not just spiritual, it is societal. When God gives you a mission, it is supposed to touch lives, shift cultures, and change systems. In Acts 19, Paul was so committed to his mission in Ephesus that it disrupted an entire industry. The craftsmen who made idols of Diana felt the heat. They came out in their numbers to riot. Why? Because Paul’s message was shaking their economy. That’s how real and tangible a mission should be. It should be something that disturbs darkness and forces systems to respond.
We need to start asking deeper questions. What economic system will your mission affect? What industry will feel the ripple effect of your obedience to God? If your calling is in media, will it purify what we see and hear? If it’s in education, will it raise a generation that thinks with wisdom and truth? Maybe it’s fashion, can you build brands that reflect kingdom values? Your mission is not just about preaching or posting quotes online. It is about entering spaces, shaping trends, building alternatives, and creating systems that glorify God and bring people into alignment with truth.
As of Q1 2025, the top ten sectors in Nigeria’s economy are: real estate, trade, crop production, telecommunications, construction, crude oil, food and beverage, livestock, finance, and fashion. These ten alone make up over 75% of our GDP. That’s where the influence is. That’s where the battle is. That’s also where your mission might be needed the most. So as you pray, ask yourself: where will my obedience to God cause a shift? Where will my work shake the status quo and bring light into the economy? Watching the world means entering it with purpose. So, again think about it: What sector will your mission shake?
