What are Prophecies?

Prophecies are not psychological predictions; they are the unveiling of divine purpose–Ezk.12:21-25

No prophecy can be fulfilled in the energy of the flesh – 1 Sam. 2:9/ Rom. 9:16

Because God speaks according to His power, not our limitations – 2 Kgs 7:1-2/19-20/ Mak. 10:27

But until a prophetic Word is received, it never gets fulfilled – 2 Pet. 1:19-21/ Luk. 8:11/15/ Mak. 4:30-32 

Every prophetic word received keeps us on the go – 1 Cor. 9:24-27/ Hab. 2:1-3

Every prophetic word received alleys fears – Exo. 14:15/ Psa. 114:1-8

Joseph, an example of prophecy fulfilled through praise

Joseph saw into his future through his God given dream (prophetic insight) – Gen. 37:5-19

Joseph exhibited a lifestyle of Joy, the circumstances surrounding him notwithstanding                    – Gen. 40:1-7/20-22

But he saw prophecy fulfilled in grand styles as he became the ‘wonder ‘prime minster of Egypt by the hand pf God which was provoked by praise – Gen. 41:9-16/37-45/ Exo. 15:11

To see prophecies fulfilled, we must rejoice like Joseph did – Gen. 39:1-5/21-22/ Gen. 40:1-7/                Gen. 41:9-16/37-45

• Prophecy is the unveiling of God’s plan and purpose for a nation, a people or an individual                                  – Deut. 18:21-22/ Ezk. 12:25
• Scripturally, there are 2 main sources of prophecy:
• First, from scriptures, which is said to be a more sure word of prophecy – 2 Pet. 1:19-21/ Psa. 89:34 
• Secondly, from prophets sent our way – Luk. 4:25-27/ Mat. 10:41/ Deut. 18:21-22
• But we have a responsibility to know what it takes to experience fulfilment of prophecy, and this is what informs our teaching series for the month – Isa. 5:1-13

What are Prophecies?

• Prophecies are not psychological permutations; they are sworn verdicts – Isa. 14:24

But until a prophetic Word is received, it never gets fulfilled – 2 Pet. 1:19-21/ Luk. 8:11/15/ Mak. 4:30-32
