HIS WORD ABOVE HIS NAME (PS.138:2)
RE-DEFINING THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY!.
(JER.1:4-19,2COR.11:13-15)!
Perhaps, one of the greatest scourge that has hurt mankind and given the devil much victory, is in the fiasco he subtly but craftily introduced much in recent history, is in the prophetic ministry.
For a keen observer of Christendom, it's undeniable that the activities of modern day prophets have dealt the church a devastating blow, like no other malpractice has ever done, in a very long time.
And one of its greatest and successful achievements is,the seemingly breathing space it has established as a distraction to lazy Christians, who no longer see the need to study the WORD OF GOD, nor develop our prayer lives,since someone has volunteered to go the whole way as long as the pay is okay.
Prophetic churches are jam-packed with fortune seeking christians during their meetings, who usually return home famished in their spirits because, instead of being fed with the WORD OF GOD, they're ENTERTAINED with various stories, and physical expressions, which often more than not leaves the hearers with more faith in what man(Satan),can do, than what God has done for us in Christ Jesus.
The havoc this religious thespians have wrecked on the church can better be imagined. Many a soul, family, marriage and business, etc, has been destroyed and scattered. And their modus operandi has become so sophisticated, that it really takes God's Grace not to fall a victim;
13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (2Co 11: 13-15)
Looking at the church today, it's almost like*MANY ARE CALLED, AND ALL ARE CHOSEN*! It's so so so disheartening that the true servant of God is held with derision and mockery, for in the public perception, all are both sides of the same coin. Like what is happening today in Nigeria, fishing out the genuinely called has become a Herculean task, for all have become deliverance and prophetic ministers...even those known to be committed to holiness and teaching of God's Word have weakened except at least one,in whom is yet found a great measure of respect !
God gives a specific assignment or mandate(customized message) to every vessel HE chooses to work with. Thus, a Biblical prophet is one who hears from God, and speaks for God. That is, they are messengers who courageously communicate God's message to HIS people. They're God's servants, shepherds and watchmen, NOT GOD'S MASTERS.
13. Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. (Hag 1:13)
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amo 3: 7)also--Jer.17:16,Isa.62:6,etc.
Unlike what obtains today,their authority comes from God alone,whose messages (not their personal messages), they bear.
4. Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
6. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. (Jer 1: 4-8)
BUT TODAY, IT'S THUS SAITH THE LORD..WHERE DID YOU MEET AND HEAR FROM HIM, ? IS IT THE WALLET OF THE BENEFICIARY?
So, you see the prophetic ministry has been abused, and bastardized by man. it's being exploited for personal gain by man, and God isn't pleased. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ARGUMENT,BUT I CAN'T ESCAPE SAYING THE * TITLE, PROPHET* ENDED WITH JOHN THE BAPTIST.
Come to think of it,prophecy wasn't really supposed to be an independent ministry again, after Christ Jesus came, whereby one is supposed to be self titled *Prophet* again!
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (Luk 16: 16, Matt.11:13).
This became so because of the outpouring of the HOLY GHOST,on Pentecost Day, upon believers, wherefore priesthood wasn't anymore a family affair nor prophecy a secluded gift. The RIPPED VEIL in the Temple was symbolic of this;
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. (Luk 23: 45)
16. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18. And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: (Act 2: 16-18)
Thus, these gifts became available and a treasure to anyone who believes in Christ Jesus and HIS great work of REDEMPTION.
Thus, titling one's self a prophet wasn't really necessary again, as a God called pastor is expected to manifest two or more of the FIVE LEADERSHIP GIFTS...!
Howbeit, that just like some other christian beliefs that have been quite difficult to divorce from christian practice, prophecy has been grossly tainted by mundane minded church men, as the purpose has been defeated. The GENUINE and the FAKE have so muddled the whole process that there's no trust again.
Thus saith the LORD, and HE didn't say anything. Very sensitive and insensitive untruths continue to emanate from these individuals, destroying marriages, families, friendships, careers and what have you. Many faint hearted christians have even lost faith.
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? (Jer 5: 31)
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! (Eze 13: 3)
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. (Eze 13: 6)
Prophets ought to serve the purpose of God, and not God serving their purpose. God's purpose for prophecy is as clear as daylight.
Down through the ages,God has used and continues to use HIS true servants to express HIS Thoughts and Mind to HIS children, warning them about the future, and saving them from the present, even using the past to correct them. The main purpose of God for HIS messengers, was to bear God's Word for the aim of teaching, reproving, correcting and training in righteousness (2Tim.3:16, 1Tim.6:11)!
But,this inspiring function,they have apparently shunned and abandoned today:
10. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. (Isa 56: 10-12)
GOD BEING SO KIND AND TOLERANT OF ME GAVE ME THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE AS MY MANDATE.HE TAUGHT ME PERSONALLY FROM OCTOBER 1-31,2009, THOUGH I WAS ORDAINED IN 2004, AND CONFIRMED IT WITH A SIGN...THAT YET LIVES TILL TODAY .
HE SENT ME TO HIS SHEPHERDS AND NOT FLOCKS. BUT I YIELDED TO THE FLESH AND I AM SERVING MY CHASTISEMENT IN REVERENCE. WHAT HE HAS DONE TO THE GLORY OF HIS NAME IN SEVEN YEARS NOW, I COULDN'T DO THE TINIEST FRACTION IN 12 YEAR ON BOTH LEGS.
We aren't called to be witch catchers, but to be a solution to our world. We aren't called to scatter homes,but to repair broken marriages and relationships. Neither are we called to be accusers of men,but to liberate them from satanic bondage. Our ministry is and should be the ministry of reconciliation.
AMEN
