As the world moves closer to the return of Jesus Christ, the role of the church becomes even more critical. The end-time church must be prepared for revival, evangelism, and spiritual warfare. Dag Heward-Mills has been a prophetic voice in this generation, teaching and preparing believers for the challenges and opportunities of the last days.
His teachings on holiness, evangelism, church growth, loyalty, and faithfulness have helped shape pastors, church leaders, and believers to stand firm in these turbulent times. His prophetic messages do not just predict the future; they equip the church to be strong, effective, and focused on fulfilling the Great Commission.
The Urgency of Evangelism in the End Times
One of the strongest prophetic messages from Dag Heward-Mills is the urgency of evangelism in the last days. He teaches that the world is growing darker, and the church must work harder to win souls before the return of Christ.
In Matthew 24:14, Jesus said:
“And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Dag Heward-Mills emphasizes that:
- Every believer must take personal responsibility for preaching the Gospel.
- The church must plant more churches and send out more missionaries to reach the lost.
- Evangelistic efforts must increase, not decrease, as we approach the end times.
His Healing Jesus Campaign crusades are a practical fulfillment of this prophetic call, reaching millions with the Gospel in Africa and beyond.
The Prophetic Role of Church Growth and Multiplication
Dag Heward-Mills teaches that church planting and expansion are part of God’s prophetic plan for the end times. Many churches today focus on entertainment, material success, and worldly distractions rather than fulfilling the Great Commission.
Through his book “The Mega Church,” he challenges pastors to:
- Expand their ministries instead of remaining small and stagnant.
- Train more leaders to handle the harvest of souls.
- Take over cities and nations with the message of Christ.
His church-planting movement, The United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC), is a clear example of his commitment to this prophetic vision.
Preparing the Church for Apostasy and Persecution
Dag Heward-Mills has also warned about the dangers of apostasy (falling away from the faith) and persecution. He teaches that:
- Many false doctrines and distractions will arise in the last days.
- Churches that do not stay rooted in biblical truth will fall into deception.
- Believers must be spiritually strong and committed to endure hardships.
Through his book “Backsliding,” he provides spiritual guidance on how to stay faithful in the midst of trials and temptations. His prophetic messages remind believers that staying close to God is the key to overcoming the pressures of the last days.
Conclusion
The prophetic teachings of Dag Heward-Mills are not just warnings—they are calls to action. He urges the church to rise up, preach the Gospel, expand the Kingdom, and stay faithful in the face of challenges. His teachings continue to equip believers and leaders to stand strong in the last days, making an eternal impact before the return of Christ.
