PROPHECY
OUR PROPHECIES
Whenever God wants to do something new in a generation, He uses the ministry of a prophet to pass it on. And often people misunderstand and doubt and misconceive the prophet and his prophecy, without knowing that where there is a prophet, there is a prophecy.
A prophecy is not clarified without a prophet. It is important that we understand the definition of a prophet and a prophecy. A prophet is a man that interprets the hand-writing on the wall: a prophet is the voice that calls the dead from their grave; a prophet is a foreteller, for-sighter and a for-revealer. The words of the prophecy carry messages of hope, faith, healing and restoration. Any prophecy that condemns and accuses is not a true prophecy and does not come from God. God's given prophecy is not intended to make you bitter, rather better.
Meanwhile, every true prophecy from God must be confirmed and affirmed. Whenever God speaks, there is no confusion about it; rather there is clarification, specification and manifestation...
In every meeting and crusade of Prophet Isaiah Okechukwu, God ministers in such a prophetic manner: people's names are being called, house addresses and pictures are being mentioned and described. Prophet Isaiah even goes further to tell people their problems and when it started and giving them God's intentional solutions and directives. And has often happened in the life and ministry of Prophet Isaiah that people get amazed and amused. Some folks get it twisted and tend to call it 'magical' and 'satanical' power. Meanwhile, some pastors and born-again Christians called it unbiblical.
One of two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: "We have found the Messiah" (which is, translated, the Christ).
And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said: "You are Simon, the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is, translated, a stone). (John 1:40-42 NKJV)
Nobody told Jesus that Andrew was bringing his brother to meet Him but when he (Simon), arrived, Jesus told him his name and the name of his father. This biblical story gives us a vivid picture of Jesus's ministry and of God's ability, capability and availability.
Every born-again Christian must have read or heard of these biblical principles of God's prophetic agenda and yet some do not believe that God still does miracles and still fulfills His prophetic agenda in this, the 21st Century.
The truth of the whole matter is that our generation of Christianity has produced an unbelieving believers who occupy a prominent position in our Churches and yet they don't have access into the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. And that is why, whenever God manifests in an unusual way, they end up calling it mystical or magical. But the bible records:
Brethren, it is time to leave the elementary doctrines and dogmas of religion and move into the principles of perfection. Because it is not just only enough to comprehend the lines of God, or the attributes of God, but operating on a divine realm that requires one to a very experiential, experimental and explorative level. God is a God of programme. He is running an open agenda for this end-time as prophetically revealed in the above scripture. God operates by fixed laws. And there are spiritual laws when it comes to prophecy. A generation without a prophet and a prophecy is a futureless generation.
Many are conscious of eating right, so they get a good balance of vitamins and minerals. But what about our spiritual body? Is it getting all it needs to stay healthy? Jesus said: "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." (Matt 4:4 NIV). That means it is best to feast on the whole Bible and not just nibble on favourite (fast food) passages.
