Minister: Pst Bola Bello
The prophetic is one stream of ministry that is slippery yet it is the most sought for. Taking a close look at the scriptures, it will be observed that the prophetic exists from Genesis to Revelation, hence it is important to know what the scriptures say so that we know what is right. That way, we remain standing even when the enemy brings the counterfeit.
John 10:1 – 3
There are so many entrances into the spirit realm but the valid path is through Jesus (Verse 2). A lot of persons have used different dimensions in the prophetic realm. Hence, the sheep needs to be trained to hear the voice of the shepherd. It is necessary that we invest in training ourselves to know who is a shepherd and who is a thief or robber. People need to understand that the prophetic is normal and obtainable around them and they do not need to run from one mountain to another trying to hear the words of a prophet being pronounced over them. Unfortunately, many of these people who men run to operate by the spirit of sorcery.
In Acts 8:10, Simon was regarded as if he is God yet he operated by sorcery. There are so-called prophets in the present day whose followers have been bewitched and so they act like God. These men could be bewitched because they do not have an understanding of the scriptures. Hence, it is important to know the hallmark of prophecy, which is that it produces righteousness. It is about rebuke, correction and leading us in the path that is of God.
God desires that we come to Him at all times to seek clarity about His words. People seek extra knowledge from other places because they do not have an understanding of what has been given. God is enough, we can consult with Him and get answers to our questions. God sometimes also speak to us through feelings (2 Samuel 3:8) and when you start paying attention to your feeling, God opens a realm that is clearer.
