Important 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.

Importantly, they lead to spiritual authority. This works to ensure no any other kind of authority can take the place of God in lives of the believers. It is possible for another power to take control of members of the church and even lead them astray in the absence of prophetic ministry. This is because there is no gift to reveal before the influence takes effect.

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.

They offer personal prophecy. This is where they get the revelation of a personal life in an individual level and bring that message to the concerned person. This is one of many operations in the church. They are used by God to give even word meant for a family or a given individual in connection with a given mystery or something to come in the future or present.

Same way, they lead people from their sins to holiness through corporate prayers where he or she drives the believers. It could be a mistake that has affected people or has made God angry. To escape the wrath of God, people are called to repentance and turn away from their sins and seek the face of God in their life. It could be a cry for God to relieve them mourning or calamity.

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.
