Over
the weekend, a lot of personal misconceptions were cleared up for me
with regards to what it truly means to be a Prophetic people.
In the old testament, the prophets and the king had the Spirit of God come upon them, this made them prophetic in nature. Abraham in Genesis chapter 12 was called out of where he knew, his father's house, to a place where only God could show him and he arrived there! How does a man walk with a spirit-being to trace his path in destiny like Abraham did?
Please do not be deceived, destiny is not a course that you have set for yourself or arrive at by mental or deductive reasoning but a discovery that one must make by the leading of the Spirit of God.
Abraham was called a prophet by God when he rebuked a king on his account. In the new testament, God seeks sons who are led by the Spirit of God, hence the nature of every believer should be prophetic.(Please note that this is not to say that all believers are called into the office of a Prophet). For a man to walk effectively with a spirit, it takes a guide to lead him into all truth. To know the leading of a guide whom you can not see, and to respond effectively to that leading, makes us prophetic. In essence, like Samson, the believer is but an ordinary man if he is without the Holy Spirit.
Friends, We must seek out that path to the destiny God intends for us. This path, however, is impossible to access outside of the leading of the Holy Spirit! It is a path that the fowls do not know, the lions whelp has never walked on, or even the keen sight of the vulture has never beheld. In other words, improving our mental capacities or engaging in physical exercises, as good as these are, will not make us arrive at the place God intended for us.
Except we commit ourselves to walking by the spirit of God, we can not become that which God intended for us to become.
He has given us the power to become the sons of God but this power remains only a potential if we do not engage in activities that will ensure its release. Herein lies the disadvantage of a Christian who is prayer-less and neglects the word of God.
My prayer today is that God will show me the path of life, and cause me to walk therein. This is my call and cry from the school of prophets!
