Essential Functions Of Prophetic Ministries

By Roger Stewart


When serving in any office in the church, one is expected to give all his or her commitment to service. People are gifted differently, and all are commissioned to work for the unity of church and edification of the body of Christ now the church. You are supposed to be serving each other for the glory of God. Here are some essential functions of prophetic ministries.

The first thing is bringing revelations to the church. This ministry makes the word of Christ live and makes it effectual in the life of people. It is transformed from just a word to live and powerfully to change a life. They make it applicable to many people. When people are given the thoughts of God on a particular subject, it becomes more touching affecting their lives as God wants.

They lead to spiritual authority as well. This office has the mandate to suppress any other spirit that tries to magnify itself against the kingdom of God. They are there to establish that none other than the ruling power of God. Such spirits may be rebellion or anyone planting a bad seed to divide the church or influence members to the wrong direction or false teaching.

They also set a pace for spiritual breakthrough. This is where God is about to establish something, or mission is coming on the way. The church has to be well prepared to experience the manifestation of Holy Spirit or dispensation of the power of Christ. They work to bring the believers to attention and let them cleanse themselves while awaiting the visitation.

Personal prophecy is common, and it is biblical. This is where the word of wisdom is meant for a particular person not everyone in the meeting. Such could be a word of rebuke, encouragement or assurance of a future thing to happen. It helps keep believers in faith and assured of the intervention of Christ. In other words, it speaks to an individual about something that is affecting them.

Likewise, they lead people from sin to holiness. This is where they warn people of their sinful ways and call them to repentance. They give the direction that they should follow and lead their intercession with the backup of members. They dictate direction on what God wants for them to heal from a given calamity or catastrophic event that may be seen as subject to their sinfulness.

It is also established that they challenge false doctrines or spiritual manifestations that draws power other than that of true God. Normally, they would come into public and declare a challenge to a false religion and prove they are not teaching the right thing or ministering with the power from true God. Such occasions would draw people back to the true faith.

Same way, they are the carrier of the mysteries of God and would be telling of the things that are quite mind boggling to human beings even beyond their wisdom. This is commonly seen in times of calamities or future occurrences that might be a disaster to a nation or community. They foretell or experience and events that have been a mystery to human beings.
