Your Devotional message for 7th January 2023
Scripture:
Surely the Lord God does nothing Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7).
Explanation:
One of the ways by which God speaks to someone or the church is by His Prophets. Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7). I heard some saying that we do not need Prophets nowadays. This is far short of what is the scripture says. The New Testament did not say that the Prophetic ministry is outdated but is crucial even more in this erra as wickedness ensues. The prophetic utterance reveals hidden secrets by the Spirit of God. Well, not all prophecies are from God as lying spirit of devil can imitate the Spirit of God. Therefore, we need the gift of the discerning of spirits. “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law (Deuteronomy 29:29). The Holy Spirit can revealed His counsel by the prophet about the Promises of God, His plans, guidance, direction, instructions,and enlightenment. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but happy is he who keeps the law (Proverbs 29:18, NKJV).
I pray for you that in this year the Lord shall bring to you revelation of His counsel, favour, mercy, blessing, success, and progress in the name of Jesus.
In today Daily Meditation, day 07of the 31 days of the month of December, we will study and meditate on the scriptures relating to our new series ‘The counsel of the Lord’
Zachariah prophesied about John the Baptist:
“And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest;For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins, (Luke 1: 76-77).
The prophetic warning by Prophet Jeremiah to King Zedekiah:
He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the Lord.
Here are further scriptures:
The Dreams of King of King Nebuchadnezzar was revealed to Daniel:
Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So, Daniel blessed the God of heaven (Daniel 2:19).
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world”(Matthew 13:35).
