TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GIFT OF PROPHECY

“David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying…” 1 Chronicles 25:1 (NIV)

The Bible tells us that the gift of prophecy is the most important gift in the Scriptures; it is the number one gift of the Spirit.

Prophecy is the only gift God says you should desire, even if you didn’t have any other one. Why? We are made by prophecy. The gift of prophecy is God’s material for building His house. Your life and ministry are constructed by the gift of prophecy; your future is designed by it. This means, the vision that God has in heaven about your life and the church is only brought to this earth through the gift of prophecy, and that gift is what inspires you to get in line with the vision.

Remember, God said to Moses, see that you build the sanctuary according to the vision that was shown to you; see that you do it accordingly. So that gift of prophecy tells you of your future: God’s plan for your life, and once you get a hold of it, you must keep saying it; don’t stop talking it, and walk in the light of it.

We are a people of prophecy; prophesy today. Hallelujah!

Believe In Your Prayers

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name (Psalm 86:11).

Do you believe in the efficacy of your prayers? Or do you always look for someone to help you pray? The Bible says, “…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16). He’s telling you that the prayer of a righteous man works! It produces results. When you pray, never think it’s not working. As long as you’re born again, it’s wrong to think you’re not qualified to receive answers to your prayers! Your prayer works. God wants you to know this.

One of the challenges that many have with prayer is the lack of focus. When you pray, you must have focus. We read in our opening verse, “…unite my heart to fear thy name.” The New International Version puts it this way: “…give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.” It’s talking about an undivided heart. So, in prayer, focus your attention on the Lord, and be conscious of what you’re praying about.

There’re lots of Christians who pray about so many things, and a moment later, don’t remember what they prayed about. They say so many things to God, and even when God answers, they don’t know, because they never take record of what they say to God; they don’t pray with focus or a clear direction.

Maintain a diary of prayer! The things you’re concerned about that you’d like to pray about, write them down in a diary, and have scheduled times when you pray about those things. Then as you pray, receive. Believe in your prayer; believe that you’re making an impact; for God is always willing to grant you your heart’s desire: “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24).

Equipped For The Mandate

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established (Romans 1:11).

    Hosea 12:13 tells us that “…by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.” Notice, He didn’t say, “…by an angel,” but “…by a prophet.” God preserves or establishes His people through His servants; His chosen and anointed ministers. He
equips them and sends them to those He wants to bless. Ephesians 4:11-12 says, “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”

    This lets us know why Paul could affirm boldly in his letter to the believers in Rome, “…I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift to the end ye may be
established” (Romans 1:11). He knew he was a custodian of divine verities; he knew he had something to give.

    One of the reasons there’re weak Christians today is that they never received any spiritual impartation. Read again,the reason Paul said he wanted to impart some spiritual gifts
to the brethren in Rome; it was so they might be established. Through the ministry of the Word, and impartation of the Spirit, God’s people are strengthened and established on the truth.

    1 Corinthians 4:20 says, “For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.” The Gospel is more than mere words; its power must be demonstrated. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:4, “And my speech and my preaching was not Equipped For The Mandate with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.” So, as Christians, and as ministers
of the Gospel, we have something with which to bless and transform our world. We’re dispensers of God’s blessings.

    God has endowed you with grace and special abilities according to His own will, and according to His calling on your life. He’s equipped you for what He called you to do. You have what it takes. Therefore, do something with what you have. 2 Corinthians 4:7 says, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels….” Do something with the anointing; in ministering to others, do so in the power of the Holy Ghost!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me a perfect heart that responds to your Word. As I receive your Word, my heart is imparted with spiritual gifts and I’m duly equipped to do great exploits through the Gospel of Christ, to your praise and glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Celebrate Your Uniqueness!

God has a unique plan for your life, different from that of any other living person. His plans and purposes for your life are distinct, because He doesn’t have, has never had, and will never have a replica of you! You’re the only “you” that God has and will ever have. So, take pride in who you are and in what God is doing in your life; celebrate your uniqueness.
Sometimes, there’s the temptation to feel discouraged when others around you seem to be making more progress than you. However, such a feeling is absolutely unnecessary, because you don’t measure your success with the success of someone else. Rather, you measure your success with how much you’re walking in the will of God for your life. That someone else is succeeding doesn’t mean you’re failing, for God has called us to fulfill different areas of His vision.
The Bible says ‘…Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…’ (Hebrews 12:1-2). John the Baptist, for example, was filled with the Holy Spirit while he was in his mother’s womb and was described by Jesus as the greatest of all men born by women (Matthew 11:11). Yet, his ministry as the forerunner to the Messiah lasted only six months. This was God’s purpose for his life, and he fulfilled it. Learn to celebrate your uniqueness!
Refuse to compete or compare yourself with someone else. Focus on your calling; work on outdoing your past and not somebody else. This consciousness will make your life full of rest, as you learn to look at yourself and measure your success through God’s Word.
