DO NOT DESPISE PROPHESIES

“Son of man, you’ve heard that proverb they quote in Israel: ‘Time passes, any prophecies come to nothing.’ Tell the people, ‘This is what the Sovereign lord says: I will put an end to this proverb, and you will soon stop quoting it.’ Now give them this new proverb to replace the old one: ‘The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled!’
“There will be no more false visions and flattering predictions in Israel.
For I am the lord! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays, you rebels of Israel. I will fulfill my threat of destruction in your own lifetime. I, the Sovereign lord, have spoken!” Ezekiel 12: 22-25 NLT
" Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 KJV
The word ' prophesyings ' is the Greek word ' prophēteia' it means, a discourse emanating from divine inspiration and declaring the purposes of God, whether by reproving and admonishing the wicked, or comforting the afflicted, or revealing things hidden; especially by foretelling future events , .of the endowment and speech of the Christian teachers called prophets (Thayer/ strong Greek Hebrew Dictionary)
A church member Bro Justified Kingdom Ahunanyah ( Facebook name) was concerned about the security in his village while planning for his late mother's burial . The Spirit of the lord led me to say that one of the warring parties will receive a report that a member was attacked by an opposite gang and they will hurriedly leave the village and will return at the end of the burial when we all would have left , and that was what happened. The lord was glorified and this event has strengthened the faith of the family till this day.
Prophets exist and are given to correct , direct and nurture our journey of faith . They are to speak against the ills in the church , society and rebuke erring leaders. 1Timothy 5:20 "Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.'
Without prophets the church will be without direction and stagnant. To make progress you need a prophet . It is for this reason that God does not take kindly the abuse of the office of the prophet. The people in Ezekiel's time lost confidence in prophesies because of failed prophesies. Like in Nigeria and America many prophesy for money. This is an abomination before God. This is the reason behind the falling standards in society .
God pronounced his judgement against these prophets . The Bible says "This is what the Sovereign lord says: What sorrow awaits the false prophets who are following their own imaginations and have seen nothing at all!’ “O people of Israel, these prophets of yours are like jackals digging in the ruins.
They have done nothing to repair the breaks in the walls around the nation. They have not helped it to stand firm in battle on the day of the lord. Instead, they have told lies and made false predictions. They say, ‘This message is from the lord,’ even though the lord never sent them. And yet they expect him to fulfill their prophecies!
A false prophet is any whose preachings are not centred on repentance from sins and baptism in the Holy Spirit (Act2:38) . They frustrate the righteous and pray for the success of the unrepentantly wicked for love of money .
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive your Holy Spirit and power to resist the devil in Jesus name.
