THE MINISTRY OF THE PROPHETS (PART 1)
GENERAL OVERVIEW
“I have also
spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by
the ministry of the prophets”
Hos.12:10
A prophet is
given as a voice of the Lord. He is a person ordained to see visions, dreams or
trance concerning people whether past, present or future. He is also given the
grace to understand and interpret parables, fables and mysteries unknown to the
common man.
God called
prophets to act as an intermediary between Him and man. It is the role of a
prophet to give the rhema (most recent and relevant) message of the Lord to any
individual. They are instruments of God to redeem man from the affliction/
bondage of the devil.
“And by a
prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he
preserved” Hos. 12:13
Prominent
prophets in the bible were Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel, Elijah, Elisha,
Isaiah est. Even today, we have prophets among us. It is our duty to decipher
the true from false. Listen and obey them, as obedience will catapult us to our
God-given destination
Deception is
not an excuse for failure because all men God shall judge.
