Qualities Of Genuine Seer In Christian Prophetic Ministries

By Frances Turner


Christianity is very difficult. It needs much commitment from people. That is why there should be special groups which can tell the followers about the revelations from God. Those who can rely on the gifts of prophecy form Christian Prophetic Ministries which should aim at guiding the churches to maturity. These ministries began long ago as it is seen in the Old Testament. Nowadays, there are those posing to be fortunetellers but are not. The following are the traits of true forecasters.

The right one is always directed with the Holy Ghost. They usually do not do this work on their own or using their minds and strengths. They depend solely on the powers and directions which are only offered by the Spirit of God. Those who do not have it, usually give false prophesy to the people and so, you have to be careful about them.

They obey Almighty in everything. These individuals are not just like any other person. And even their ministries are entirely different from the rest. Since they give the message to people which Divinity has seen it better for them to know, their holiness is very high. Through the obedience, they can never fail like those who might disobey Him at times. Therefore, compliance is a major characteristic expected of them.

The other but most necessary characteristic as well as their ability and timely request for forgiveness of the wrong deeds. Having a good relationship with Him can make one see great things, which they had never seen. That is a motivating factor for them to continuing having peace with Deity for Him to keep on showing them visions and such like things. Repenting and coming back to him is essential.

Patience is an essential component of foretelling groups. The responses from the Lord might take long and so; waiting will be the only option. And this demands patience. For the word to be fulfilled, more time is required. This can be a frustration moment for the impatient ones. The patient is essential for this work and it comes out from those who are very much dedicated to doing purpose of Lord.

Another trait is that seers are humble. Humility is a quality which not everyone can have it. Those people with pride do not succeed, and thus, it is a big threat for this case. But when Lord has decided to use someone He usually makes that person the way He wants before sending or giving you any task to do.

Compassionate must also be their quality. Some people might have considered the fortunetellers in the Old Testament as harsh and rigid persons. But that was not the case. The love of God for His people cannot be spoken in a rude way but instead in love. Even if the message is hard, they have to talk with consideration.

In conclusion, truth and honesty are aspects making them trustworthy. This characteristic plays a vital role because people could not waste their precious time to listen to fore-tellers who are not focused and their messages cannot be trusted. Therefore, they must make persons believe them through being honest all around.
