OPERATIONS OF DIFFERENT MINISTRY OFFICES 3

"AND HE HIMSELF GAVE SOME TO BE APOSTLES, SOME PROPHETS, SOME EVANGELISTS, AND SOME PASTORS AND TEACHERS."
Ephesians 4:11 (NKJV)

28 IN THE CHURCH GOD HAS GIVEN A PLACE FIRST TO APOSTLES, SECOND TO PROPHETS, AND THIRD TO TEACHERS. THEN GOD HAS GIVEN A PLACE TO THOSE WHO DO MIRACLES, THOSE WHO HAVE GIFTS OF HEALING, THOSE WHO CAN HELP OTHERS, THOSE WHO ARE ABLE TO GOVERN [leaders], AND THOSE WHO CAN SPEAK IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES [diverse or various kinds of tongues].
29 NOT ALL ARE APOSTLES. NOT ALL ARE PROPHETS. NOT ALL ARE TEACHERS. NOT ALL DO MIRACLES.
30 NOT ALL HAVE GIFTS OF HEALING. NOT ALL SPEAK IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. NOT ALL INTERPRET THOSE LANGUAGES."
1 Corinthians 12:28–30 (New Century Version).

A number of points had been shared in the two previous posts of this teaching. The conclusive part is here.

As a prophet, since you are not a performer or called to perform before the people, If you are led or moved by the Holy Spirit to minister prophetically, you go ahead and move into the prophetic, tell them whatever is revealed to you by God through the Holy Spirit.
However, If the Holy Spirit does not move or has not revealed anything to you, do not try to please the people who are expecting you to perform for them and be resulted to manipulation or be yielded to a familiar spirit.
The reason being that, If you attempted to move into the prophetic when the anointing for it is not given to you at that moment by the Holy Spirit, or you are not led or moved by the Holy Spirit to be prophetic, the devil may accommodate you and begin to reveal things to you.
You may discover that you are then being led by another spirit apart from the Spirit of God.
It is my prayer that you will not miss it nor go astray in Jesus' name.

Another thing is that, some who started well in the prophetic ministry have moved into falsehood and satanism or spiritism. In a bid to satisfy the longings or expectations of the people who wanted the prophets to see visions for them all the time.
They, such prophets, resulted to the use of different means or power, even If It meant to circumvent God—bypass God; all they wanted is to see visions for the people.

Some have given place to the familiar spirit or different demonic spirits to operate through their lives.
The other day, I heard one person, a so-called prophet, on YouTube teaching the people in his congregation that those who want to see into the realm of the spirit, see visions, should get cinnamon and light it up and stay in the smoke and things like that.
He said whoever does that would see a lot of things in the realm of the spirit—that is what he himself does.
Why is he doing that and teaching others to do that, because of the agitations of the people who wanted visions to be seen for them.
Some of such ministers even talk about the incenses which can be used in the midnight in order to see visions and they want to justify what they are doing with the Bible.

Whatever is not found in the Bible, especially the new testament, If anyone told you to do it, do not listen to such a person. Such a person is not of God, regardless of the title or appellation of the person.

Visions or trances or angelic visitations and other spectacular ways of being communicated with by God are solely God's prerogative—His discretionary power or right.
He is the One Who determines the way or means through which He would speak or talk to you or reveal things to you as a believer.

You will not fail in Jesus' name.
Sickness in your body is an aberration, thus whatever infirmity in your body is cursed and completely uprooted in Jesus' name.
Peace.

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based 1 in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
