Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional December 27th – Prophecy Is For You

(You Too Can Prophesy!)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 14:1 NIV
“Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.”

LET’S TALK
The gift of prophecy isn’t just for pastors, prophets, evangelists and apostles; it’s for the Church! Every Christian ought to prophesy.

Moses, in the Old Testament, understood the power and importance of prophecy and wished that all of God’s children prophesied (Numbers 11:29).

However, if you’re born again and have received the Holy Spirit, you’ve received the divine enabling and inspiration to prophesy.

To prophesy is to speak forth the Word of God in power, whether by foretelling of future events or as a word of power to cause a change in the now!

The Bible says, “…He who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church” (1 Corinthians 14:3-4).

When you declare the mind of God in prophecy, others are edified, strengthened, and comforted.

So you see, prophecy doesn’t make one a “spiritual detective” to fish out brethren who are supposedly not living right; it’s for the edification of the Body of Christ.

This is why you must desire to prophesy, for the words you speak forth in prophecy will build fellow Christians.

Moreover, with the gift of prophecy, you can chart your course in perpetual victory and triumph. You can prophesy your way out of any trouble.

Don’t let the challenges you face drown your faith; prophesy your health, success, prosperity and victory.

Perhaps you were told it’s only one of your kidneys that’s working right, or that one of your lungs has failed; refuse to be dismayed; don’t panic. Prophesy! Through prophecy, that dead organ will come back alive! Hallelujah!

Pray
Dear Father, I thank you for your word of power that’s in my heart, and in my mouth even now! I’m moving forward by the power of the Holy Spirit, making progress with giant strides, and waxing stronger every day, in health, prosperity, and success, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
