Bible Reading: 2 kings 4:12-18
Memory Verse: Then he said, “About this time next year you shall embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord. Man of God, do not lie to your maidservant!” 2 kings 4:18 (NKJV)
Today, let’s talk about the power of prophecy as another system in God’s ecosystem by which He redeems time. The realm of the spirit is like a script of possibilities that reflects the will of God and His counsel and sometimes, with no definite time attached for its accomplishment. The realm of the spirit is like a script made up of series of events. It is the responsibility of the man of God in his prophetic office to allocate time for their manifestations. That means if someone has been delayed, what should have happened few or many years ago can still be restored by the hand of God through his prophet into the present or near future with the same degree of glory.
No wonder Isaiah 61:1-3 says, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me …to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…”. Same way, assuming you have lost your parents, by the intelligence of the Spirit of prophecy you can know what is in the economy of God that will suffice for the role of a father and mother in your life such that their demise will not hinder the fulfillment of your destiny. Psalm 27:10 (NLT) says, “Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close.”
Have you been waiting upon the Lord for the fruit of the womb, for admission, job opportunity, international open door, etc. It seems life has left you behind. It seems your contemporaries have gone ahead of you. I encourage you to search by the intelligence of the Spirit of God what you must do, or that instruction you are to obey such that in few years time, you would have recovered your wasted years and become a cynosure to all eyes. Testimonies of recovery that come from our delays usually brings greater glory to God. With God, you cannot be disadvantaged.
Brethren, I want you to be fully persuaded that there are more than enough remedies to cater for all your perceived disadvantages, deficiencies, delays, and denials life has ever thrown at you. Only connect to the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10c (NKJV), “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”
Quote: Men rise by the Spirit of prophecy.
Prophetic Decree: I stand in my office as a prophet, you shall pursue, overtake, and recover all in Jesus name.
