DON’T WAIT FOR TROUBLE TO SPEAK LIFE
February 3, 2020
Prophecy is from God but how you prophesy matters. Prophecy constitutes of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Calling names is also prophecy/word of knowledge. So people who fight against the name-calling prophecy; are also fighting against Jesus who called Nathaniel and who told the Samaritan woman to go call her husbands. Yet, do not call names and not speak the Will of the Father. Prophecy must give you direction, you must know if God is rebuking? Or if God is restoring? Jesus called Nathaniel by name and with just that, He unlocked the greater that Nathaniel was going to experience. Whenever you are prophesied and there is no solution, you must run away. Let me alert you, the seeing part is not difficult, but the heart of God is the mystery. What God wants you to do tomorrow is a mystery, not what you are going to do tomorrow because you have planned already. So what is needed is a person who is near God.
[Acts 13:13-22]
We read that after the wilderness, came judges, Samuel the prophet, then Saul. So David did not do away with Saul only but also Samuel the prophet; who was in the line. God did not give them Saul because He wanted to, but they asked for a king and He gave them Saul. God gave them what they asked for; their hearts desire. After Saul was removed, God raised up a king for them, David. David was developed, taught and groomed by God. He [David] also received a testimony from God. The difference between Saul and David is that David always sought the Will of God. Being a man of God does not mean you shouldn’t ask which step to take. Being a leader is not about knowing. Knowing disables you to seek and ask, thus as a result, you just do things out of God. Knowing prevents God from speaking. You should not go to God knowing but a great leader goes to God and asks for guidance. It is not only in prophecy where you have to seek God but we must hear God in all. Even in demonstration, some gave people to eat while God wanted them to touch or look. They stood on the knowledge that we can eat everything. Hence, others started with God but did not finish with Him.
It is easy to imitate the spiritual father out of the Will of God. Yes, the father did it, but with you; what is God saying? Whatever David did, he asked God. Just because God permitted you to buy that car, did He permit you to buy the house? The problem is that we move with experience. You dream the wilderness/desert and you interpret it as dryness because last year is was dryness; whilst God is speaking of safety and protection this year. Thing is, we do not want to enquire from God, so are you after God’s heart? Many stand before people with experience. David sought the Will of God. Being fruitful was in David not in judges, Saul or in Samuel; this is because David was after God’s heart. Maturity is not knowing what to do next but asking God what to do and which way to take. I am saying this boldly: “not all sickness must be healed”. The ten lepers were healed but only one was made whole; meaning those who did not come back were healed in part. The nine lepers still had the cause/what triggered leprosy in them and maybe it attacked them again; unlike the one who came back seeking Jesus. Jesus healed the one who came back according to his motives because He discerned his heart. So be careful, you can receive a temporary solution so that you are moved away to perish alone.
[1 Corinthians 13:4-12]
Verse 8, “Love never fails.” – every minister wants to love. What makes the prophecy, tongues to vanish away; is because they knew in part. Love is knowing, and knowing God. The 9 lepers left and celebrated knowing in part (see Luke 17:11). 10 is the number of completeness/accuracy but not perfection. Perfection is seven. The 10 lepers were all cleansed but one of them realized that he was “healed” – he was not only cleansed but also healed, unlike the others. 10 were cleansed but only 1 came back and his faith and made him well. So the 9 left with what was in part but the 1 received healing. What holds hope and faith is love, so what made the 1 leper to go back was love. The 9 went to show themselves to the priest without faith. They did not have faith because faith comes by hearing. The 1 leper heard; he had faith and came back.
You can be healed without faith. Nobody called them to come back but the 1 leper came back because when he was cleansed he heard something. The one leper received the Will of God which is to go show himself to the High Priest, not the priest. He heard the spoken Word. This is for the matured, I mean the 10 lepers were told to go to the priests, so they followed the command; but there was more to it and they failed to hear the spoken Word. Somethings do not require the scriptures but the very Word that proceeds out of His mouth. Some people quote the bible to us as if God is bound by it. What comes first, flour or bread? It is the spoken Word that makes the bread. So others are holding on bread whilst there is flour that does not bake only but also cooks. People are holding onto the bread while God wants to give them flour. So they come and say: “Bread says this” – while there is flour. Do not prophesy in part but in perfection, which is the Will of the Father.
[1 Corinthians 8:1-3]
“We know that we all have knowledge” – everyone can preach these days. Why do people prophesy in part? It is because they have knowledge and knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. Discernment is not only for demons when you discern you look for motives, not character. Knowledge can make you reject what God approves. Your gift can show you a person who is a liar but God knows that He is going to uproot it in the process. God can you show a liar who is going to be a person very powerful in the Word and in prayer, but you can reject that person. “If anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.” (verse 2) – it might seem that this scripture passage is contradicting itself but God is teaching us how to approach Him. We must go to Him without knowing. When you love, you go empty, you seek the heart; the Will of God.
Those who operate in part is because they do not love, only love can complete the puzzle. Seek the heart of the Father and He will direct you. Do not seek the other piece of the puzzle but seek the Father and He will reveal the missing puzzle. There is understanding in a child, do not try to understand your situation. Do not understand your dreams, because you are reasoning like a child. Seeing in part is not seeing face-to-face, God is looking at your face but you are not looking. How does God know you? When you are looking at His face. You need to ask God what to do. Not all demons need to be cast away, we have cast away even when God wanted to teach us. Every time we see the devil, we speak fire. How will you pass when you cast the devil that the Spirit has sent to test you? Imagine calling fire on the exam paper you are supposed to study, write and pass? The old generation told us to conclude but I am teaching you to seek the face of the Father. Even tongues will cease, the very tongues that come with fire but because there is no love; it is in part. Love is knowledge of your Master, your Husband. Can I say I love my wife whilst I do not know what she needs? How can we love God whilst we have concluded about Him.
You left when they told you that they do not see marriage and you did not wait for the full prophecy. Maybe the man of God said that, because your character is not yet fine, but you threw the towel and left. Do not conclude in your dreams but ask God, you saw your aunt bewitching you in the dream and you call her a witch. Let love speak. Do not be under pressure to give solutions. People have prophesied wrong things under the pressure of giving solutions. Seeking guidance from God does not make you a minor. How many prophetic queues have we seen but there are no testimony queues?
[James 1:21]
Anyone who is the hearer of the Word and not the doer is like a man who goes to the mirror and observes himself [not God] but then forgets himself. When you go to the mirror, you are not supposed to see yourself but God. You went to the mirror and saw yourself with that car but when you are unable to pay for the car, you go to God not the mirror that you observed yourself. Go back to the mirror so that you can see your weakness and go back to God. Most of you when you are in trouble you do not introspect yourself, you blame demons. You took the decision without seeking God. Finish the mirror that you used first so that the old person can be wiped away. If you consult yourself in the mirror, do not forget that. The problem is that when you face problems you forget the mirror. Look at Christ and let it address what it produced. Yet, what you produce yourself, you need to go back and cancel and repent. Let us forget what lies behind but we cannot forget it if we do not correct what happened. Always seek the heart of God.
