WHO IS A PROPHET?
I believe it’s important for you to first understand who a prophet is, so you can appreciate the enormity of the curse of prophets.
“And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.” (Hosea 12:13)
Every time failure is pervading the earth, God sends human agents called Prophets; they are God’s instruments and agents of success. They are God’s agents for man’s fulfilment. Heaven honours the words they speak; God backs up the thoughts of their hearts, and every time they speak supplies, God honours it.
During any time of tension, God releases these agents on earth, for the preservation of His own people. Moses, the prophet was sent to deliver Israel out of their 400 years bondage in Egypt. Elijah was sent to the widow of Zarephat, to preserve her and her family. He was also sent to the city of Samaria, to proclaim abundance in the midst of scarcity.
Prophets are God’s agents of triumph in times of failure. They are His agents of victory in times of distress. They are God’s miracle agents.
There is distress coming upon the earth. So there are prophets sent to the world to exempt God’s people from the holocaust. When they are received, the unction on them produces the same results in those who receive their ministry.
Read Acts 3:22 from your Bible.
Here, Moses introduces Jesus as a prophet like himself. Jesus, speaking of Himself said:
“…A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his house.” (Matthew 13:57)
So, He knew He is a prophet. When Jesus came to lay the foundation of the Church, He came with a prophetic unction among others. He could not have carried out this spectacular assignment without the prophetic and apostolic unction. That is why, I believe, God is releasing these two ministries for the building of the end-time Church.
Read Ephesians 2:18-20 from your Bible.
This means that the building up of the Church will require these two powerful gifts, especially in this end-time.
Hear what Isaiah said in Isaiah 2:2-3 ( read it from your Bible).
This prophecy of the end-time is repeated exactly the same way in Micah 4:2-3. This clearly points to God’s end-time plan to build the Church and bring her upon “the top of the mountains”.
In the light of Ephesians 2:18-20, we know that to do this, God has chosen two ministry gifts – prophets and apostles. Why? Because they constitute the foundation of His building. They are reservoirs of the anointing. They are able to transmit the unction they carry to others and by such transmission, the Church rises.
Friend, we are back to the days of the prophets. We are going to begin to see more and more of the prophetic ministry emerge in the body of Christ this end-time. They are people whose presence and appearance is able to spark off a new light into your life. God is using these human instruments to carry out His assignment. This is your chance to be made.
This is the time for you to shine!
shalom!
