Riding On The Prophetic Wings
Every time failure is pervading the earth, God sends human agents called prophets as instruments of change to success. Prophets are God’s agents for man’s fulfilment. Heaven honours the words they speak; God backs up the thoughts of their heart.
During times of tension, God releases these agents on earth for the preservation of the saints.
Joseph was sent to Egypt to preserve God’s people; Elijah was sent to the widow of Zarephath to preserve her. Elisha was sent to a prophet’s widow in 2 Kings 4 to rescue her from shame and humiliation.
God is always working to reach man through man. For instance, He desired the salvation of all men but there was no way He could touch men without a man, so He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus. The Son, being God, could not come as God, so He took it upon Himself to come as man ’ just so He could touch man.
In Ezekiel 22:30, God said,
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
God is always in search of a man to use to reach men, someone to bridge the gap between Himself and others. He worked through Elijah, Paul, Peter, James etc. And Jesus said, ’Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest’ (Matt. 9:38).
If God could do the work without labourers, He would have come Himself. But the fact still remains: God cannot reach man without man!
Friend, God has not changed, He is still working by the hands of men today. He is still delivering men, liberating captives, opening the eyes of the blind, raising the dead, and blessing people; and the agents He is using are prophets.
I would like you to know that God called me and ordained me as a prophet to the nations.
On October 4, 1981, I was before the Lord in Jos, a city in Nigeria, and I wrote a letter to my wife explaining a few things the Lord was saying to me. I wrote there: ’I speak from my office as a prophet, that we matter to this generation by divine election.’
I perceive that that was the day I entered the office of a prophet. The unction on me that day was so great that I began to receive prophetic parables. It was then I received the name of our church ’ Living Faith and I said in the letter, ’The Living Faith is the acting faith, and the acting faith is the winning faith; and the winning faith is the conqueror’s faith!’
I am persuaded that God has raised men across the world and in every generation to stand in the prophetic office. He never leaves Himself without a witness. I thank God for the grace and privilege that enable me to stand as one of such witnesses.
Israel was in bondage for four hundred years and God sent them a prophet. By that prophet, they were delivered from the land of lack, humiliation, reproach, nakedness and thirst. It was by a prophet that the Lord brought Israel out of the realms of servitude and slavery, and by a prophet they were sustained in abundance.
In Exodus 19:4 God said,
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
Who was the eagle on whose wings Israel rode out of bondage’ The answer is in the book of Numbers:
And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant’ and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me’
Have I conceived all this people’ have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers’
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people’ for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
Numbers 11:11-14
Moses was God’s eagle whose mission was to take the Israelites from lack into plenty. Three million people flew on the wings of Moses out of poverty and servitude.
Through this book, I want to bring you into a closer walk with the Holy Spirit, by expanding your appreciation of the prophetic office and what it carries.
Friend, we are in the days of the prophets. We are going to see more and more of this ministry in the Body of Christ these end-times, for the building and blessing of the Church
