Prophetic Series - Day 16

PROPHETIC SERIES DAY 16 Hello everyone, welcome to another day in this prophetic series. We are going to continue to look at the QUALITIES OF A PROPHET. We have talked about the Prayer Life, Word Life, Waiting on God. Yesterday, we stopped at the fact that a prophet must have A SERIOUS LOVE WALK. Paul the apostle says in Rom. 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.  13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. A prophet that doesn't have a good love walk will cause more than good in his exercise of the creative dimension of the Prophetic Office. Haven't you heard of cases where pastors have cursed Church members and their declarations came to pass? There are many prophets that have grown to a state where Dunamis have been mixed with their words such that anything they say (good or bad) comes to pass automatically. Jesus forbade the sons of thunder from calling down up

Prophetic Series - Day 15

 Hello everyone, I welcome you in the name of Him that is called Amen to another day in this Prophetic Series. Today, we are going to be looking at THE QUALITIES OF A PROPHET  A. A prophet should have a consistent fellowship with God. Even though this is foundational for every believer and all Ministry Gifts, it is very compulsory for Prophets. Is. 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Ministers experience Burn outs because they don't pay attention to WAITING ON GOD. A Prophet is God's mouthpiece. How can/will you be able to speak effectively on God's behalf if you have not been spending time CONSISTENTLY with Him? You see a prophet is one that should declare WHAT GOD IS SAYING NOW not WHAT GOD HAS SAID. Even though Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever yet, the way He carries out His operations on the Earth changes. Thi

Prophetic Series - Day 14

Hello everyone, I welcome you to another edition of this prophetic series. We are still looking at the functions of the Prophets. FUNCTIONS OF PROPHETS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST  Amos 3:7 says 'Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets'.  A. Prophets are custodians of Divine secrets. Before God's will is carried out in the Earth, God reveals His secret to His prophets not only those on Earth but also those in Heaven (there are prophets in Heaven and they even have a Council of Prophets-more exposition will still come later). For example, God revealed His plan to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah to Abraham because Abraham was a prophet and a friend of God. Gen. 18:17, 20. God's counsel for His Church and this planets are revealed to prophets for a number of reasons one of which is for them to warn people about it/announce it. Eph. 3:5. Remember I said at the beginning of this series that prophets are mouthpieces/spokesmen

Prophetic Series- Day 13

Hello everyone, I welcome you to another edition of this Prophetic Series. We are still considering the functions of Prophets. Today, we are looking at      FUNCTIONS OF PROPHETS IN   THE CHURCH Just like I said yesterday, every Local Church ought to have the five fold ministries functioning in there. This is supposed to produce well balanced Christians. Being exposed to only one type of Ministry Gift is like eating the same type of food all the time. God is the God of diversity. The uniqueness of the Church is in her diversities. The diversities is never intended to cause division but to express the multifarious dimensions of the same God.  WHAT DO PROPHETS DO IN A       LOCAL CHURCH A. The main functions of prophets in a Local Church have been highlighted in Eph. 4: 12-16;  Eph  4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God,

Prophetic Series- Day 12

Hello everyone, welcome to another exciting edition of this Prophetic Series. I am sorry I couldn't post online yesterday. I had to travel and my phone ran out of charge.  Today, we are considering THE FUNCTIONS OF A PROPHET A prophet is one of the Headship Gifts that have been sovereignly placed in the Church to carry to carry out the responsibilities listed in . Eph  4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:  4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;  4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: The above scripture describes the
