Prophetic Series- Day 7


I welcome you again to another edition of this prophetic series in the name of Him who died and rose triumphantly on the third day day, Jesus the Anointed. We started looking at Spiritual Gifts under the Prophetic office and today, we are going to consider
THE GIFT OF A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE.
       WHAT IT IS NOT
A. It is not the gift of knowledge.
B. It is not a mind reading or psychic gift.
C. It has nothing to do with academic prowess or intellectual capacity.
                 WHAT IT IS
 It is a sudden impartation of a fragmentary knowledge of God concerning a matter.
The scope of the revelation offered by this gift is limited to THE PAST AND THE PRESENT.
The gift under consideration can reveal the activity of the God Head and every being or thing in creation.  Most times, because its occurrence precedes that of the Gift of a Word of Wisdom, people find it difficult to tell the difference between the two.

The Gift of a Word of Knowledge help the prophet to reveals the past and/or present while the Gift of a Word of Wisdom reveals the future. Take as an example, this prophetic word for someone reading this post:
There is someone reading this series with a strong desire to operate in the gifts of the Spirit. God said I should tell you that as you engage in prayers and fasting for the next three days, His anointing will come powerfully on you. His glory will shine on you and through you visible for all to see and they will wonder and will say about you, 'are you a prophet?' Just like they said about Saul the king; is Saul also among the prophets? 1Sam. 10:11-12.
 Thank you Lord Jesus. Glory to your Holy name.
The above is a prophetic word for at least one person reading this post. Whoever the person is, contact me after today.
Now the above utterance  is sponsored by the operation of the Gift of a Word of Knowledge and Wisdom. The first gift revealed the desire in the heart of the person (past and present) while the gift of a Word of Wisdom revealed what the person should do and the result.
Someone will say, can prophetic word written down carry power like the one spoken in words? Yes, they can. The power of God is what backs it up not the vocal dexterity of the speaker. I have cast out Devils online before. How? I just type the decree I would have made through my words and the demon left on the other side. I have prayed for people to be healed before by typing it and those to whom the prayers were directed testified that they got healed. What about the infilling of the Holy Spirit? God's power doesn't know boundary. It is not about Correct Spoken English. You can be an orator and be deficient of power and an illiterate with power will do far better than you. It was said that Smith Wigglesworth once sent a telegram to one of his relations to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. He made grammatical blunders in the telegram but the receiver of the telegram testified to receiving the Baptism with the Spirit. Whao! Am I celebrating mediocrity? No. What I am saying is this, God's power and anointing can flow through any medium so far the medium isn't against God's Will.             CAUTION:
Nobody should take this to an extreme to think that you can sleep with someone to transfer power. That is an abomination/abomicountry; a grievous sin.

BIBLE MANIFESTATION OF THIS GIFT
There are numerous examples in the Bible that time and space can't make me to exhaust. But, EVERY TIME PROPHETIC WORDS AND VISIONS REVEAL THE PAST OR THE PRESENT, THE GIFT OF A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE IS INVOLVED.

HOW DO THIS GIFT MANIFEST?
This gift manifest through the same channels just like the Gift of a Word of Wisdom. You can reread yesterday's post for more details.
A. Through Prophecy.
B. Through Dream, Vision and Trance.
C. THROUGH AN INWARD KNOWING
D. THROUGH AN AUDIBLE VOICE OF GOD.
E. VISITATION OF JESUS,  TWENTY- FOUR ELDERS, FOUR LIVING CREATURES, SAINTS AND OTHER HEAVENLY BEINGS.
Apart from the fact that this gift manifest in the above highlighted ways, there is also what is called THE INTER-RELATIONSHIP OF GIFTS. This is when two or more gifts of the Spirit combine together to get a certain spiritual task done. For example at least THREE GIFTS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PARTING OF THE RED SEA; the gift of a Word of Wisdom revealed what God will do and the strategy/instruction for Moses and the Israelites; the gift of Prophecy conveyed the above message; the Gift of the Workings of Miracles parted the Red Sea; and the Gift of Faith kept it parted till the last Israelite walked through the Red Sea.
FOUR GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT WERE INVOLVED IN GETTING LAZARUS OUT OF THE GRAVE. Fish them out and let me know if you are correct.

APPLICATIONS OF THESE TWO GIFTS
This list may be endless if we have to mention all the applications of the gift of a Word of Knowledge and Wisdom.
1. The duo of them are the backbone for the Prophetic Ministry especially those that are PROPHETS. Seers may still prophesy without these gifts. (Read previous edition to know the difference between SEERS AND PROPHETS).
2. Healing Ministers need these gifts to tell health conditions of people and what to be done. So, Gift of a Word of Knowledge and Gifts of Healings flow together very often.

3. Prophetic Evangelist flow in these gifts to declare a word in season and to call people out during Altar Calls. I know Evangelist that will call people's name in the congregation by Word of Knowledge to come and give their lives to Christ.

4. It can be directed at looking for missing things.

5. Students preparing for exams need these gifts to know where to read, which questions will come out, etc. This was how I got Distinction in my O'Level Biology exam despite the fact that it was the subject I hated the most.

6. These gifts have serious relevance in the Marketplace. I can't understand why you will do business and lose your money. Prophetic Seers consult for government in military affairs in the Old Testament.
        Caution:
Don't think you can direct God's ability to ventures that God doesn't support. For example, for a long time, I know which team will win when I see Football Match Fixtures. Sometimes, I can tell you the score line. But, that is not for me to go and place a bet on it.
Let me stop here. I will continue tomorrow.
                 ACTIVATION
1Cor  12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
This gift is available to ALL BELIEVERS INCLUDING YOU. The gate is now open; you can enter in. The Prophetic Realm is opened unto you, as you READING THIS POST. This series is not to give a mere awareness of a truth but that ALL WHO READ MAY ENTER IN. LET OUT YOUR HUNGER AND EAT. THE SPIRIT BIDS YOU TO COME AND DRINK TILL YOU ARE FULL.
Shalom.

Prayer of Enquiry

PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
