1.1 INTRODUCTION
“The MISSION is still the same, proclaim and live the truth in Jesus” name… These words are some lyrics of the song “The Mission” by Christian singer Steve Green. The words state this project’s purpose: to create Bible-based methods, which can be used to reach the urban prophetic population group in Nigerian metropolises by those who are part of this group and are Christians. The methods are in accordance with the principles found in Matthew 28:18-20 in order to evangelize and disciple the peoples of the world by the apostles and believers throughout the church age. John Piper writes, “This passage is often called the ‘Great C.
The first thing to make clear about it is still binding on a modern church. It was given not only to the apostles for their ministry but also the Church for its ministry as long as this age lasts.”

Furthermore, several key phrases, revival in such as metropolises, evangelizing for prophetic, ministries for evangelizing and in were others business used academic research engines with no success to find information.

The analysis will not be a portrait of specific group of prophetic such as Medical Doctors, Dentists, Physical Therapists, Lawyers, Prophetic Engineers, and Educators, nor it will it analyze them by denominations, ethnicity, race, or nationality. This work is not an attempt to produce an exhaustive explanation of all possible methods for evangelism and discipleship to reach prophetic. It will focus only on a general current approach and new methods that can be applied in the society and cultural context of today in Nigerian metropolises.
1.7 THE DEFINITION OF TERMS
There are several key terms used throughout as defined in the Glossary section of this work such as metropolises, urban, prophetic, Great Commission, evangelism, discipleship, etc. The following is the definition of the term prophetic, along with the definition of some terms in the prophetic definition, which is fundamental for the understanding of this study’s group peoples.
Prophetic – “Person formally certified by a prophetic body of belonging to a specific profession by virtue of having completed a required course of studies and/or practice. And whose competence can usually be measured against an established set of standards.”
Person – “An individual, agency, association, branch, corporation, estate, group, partnership, or other entity or organization having legal rights and responsibilities separate from those of other entities and/or of its owners or members.”
Certified – Authoritatively or officially attested or confirmed as being genuine or true as represented, or as complying or meeting specified requirements or standards. It may or may not mean as being accompanied by a certificate.” Prophetic Body – Trade association of an organized profession (Accounting, law, engineering, medicine, etc.) that certifies successful completion of its requirements, and thereupon awards a license and bestows a recognized appellation (chartered accountant, attorney at law, doctor of medicine, prophetic engineer, etc.). Prophetic bodies usually prescribe a discretionary or mandatory code of conduct for their members. These bodies exercise political control over their membership, and have monopoly over the profession’s formal education, certification, licensing, and symbols.
Profession – “Occupation, practice, or vocation requiring mastery of a complex set of knowledge and skills through formal education and/or practical experience. Every organized profession (accounting, law, engineering, medicine, etc.) is governed by its respective prophetic body.
Competence – “A cluster of related abilities, commitments, knowledge, and skills that enable a person (or an organization) to act effectively in a job or situation. Competence indicates sufficiency of knowledge and skills that enable someone to act in a wide variety of situations. Because each level of responsibility has its own requirements, competence can occur in any period of a person’s life or at any stage of his or her career.”
