START OPERATING IN THE PROPHETIC

Bible Texts: Gen.20:4-7, Job 22:28, Num.6:22-24, Deut.6:6-10, 1Sam.7:5, Job 42:8, 1Jn.5:16, Jn.10:10, Heb.11:1-6, Heb.11:32-33, Jer.33:3, Matt.7:7, 1Jn.4:17

The word of God says, “and ye shall decree a thing and it shall come to pass (Job 22:28)”. This is one of the most profound empowerment statements that confers enormous authourity on you as the good and godly husbandman. And today, God wants you to begin to operate in that realm, where you decree a thing and it shall come to pass. I mean, operating in the prophetic office of the good and godly husbandman.

Now therefore restore the man (husband) his wife, FOR HE IS A PROPHET and he shall pray for thee and thou shalt live. (Gen.20:7). The king took the wife of Abraham, perhaps because he thought that he was a king. He did not realize that there is a bigger God than he was. So God appeared to him and commanded him to return Sarah to her husband, Abraham. Interestingly, God added a qualification to the husbandman, Abraham. God said to the king, “restore the man (Abraham) his wife (Sarah), for he (Abraham is a PROPHET (Gen.20:7)”. And because you and I are seeds of Abraham through redemption, we have the grace to operate in the prophetic as we lead our wife and children. Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman, operated in the prophetic while He was on earth. And the Bible says, “as Jesus is, so are we in this world (1Jn.4:17)”.

But how do I know that I am operating in the prophetic? So Abraham prayed unto God and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his maidservants, and they bare children (Gen.20:17) As a prophet in your home, no one has the right to steal from you, your wife or children, their health, peace, joy, strength, emotion, physical agility. Not even a king, not satan, not sin not the world (Jn.10:10). God has empowered you to stop every operations of hell against your wife and children. You don’t have to have a church to become a prophet. You don’t have to be ordained by the church council for you to become a prophet. Your position as the head of the family comes with it the prophetic grace. This means you can function powerfully as a prophet over your wife and children.

Abraham prayed for the king and his household and the yoke of barrenness was destroyed. As a prophet, you can pray for your sick wife or child, whether it be spiritual, emotional or physical, and they shall recover. You can decree God’s counsel over your wife and children in every area of their lives and it shall come to pass. You can decree peace and quietness over every storm between you and your wife and children, and there shall be great calm. You can reverse every negative tendency in your sheep and sheepfold. You can break the power of satan, sin and the world, influencing ungodliness in the lives of your wife and children (Eph.2:2). You can also rescue your wife and children from those ungodly habits through the prophetic grace that is working in your life as the head of the home.

However, for you to operate in this glorious office, you must have a personal relationship with God, through His Son, Jesus Christ. You must be born again. You must also be conscious of the truth that you are a prophet, believe (faith) that you are a prophet and act like one (Heb.11:32-33, Heb.11:6, Heb.11:1-3).  You must agree with God who calls you are a prophet.

Are you glad to start operating in the prophetic office of the good and godly husbandman?
