PROVOKING A PROPHECY

TOPIC: PROVOKING A PROPHECY

TEXTS: 2Kings 3:14 – 20

INTRODUCTION: When a word of prophecy comes through a true prophet of God, it is an extremely powerful thing. The reason prophecy is so powerful is that it is God speaking in the language of men. Amos 3:7-8; Psalm 33:8-9; 2 Chronicles 20:20.

HOW SHOULD I RELATE TO THE WORD OF PROPHECY?

1. Receive it by faith, even if you do not understand how it could ever happen. Luke 1:34; Psalm 33:8-9.
2. Do not ask for signs. Luke 1:13-20.
3. If you have any doubt concerning a word of prophecy, please keep your mouth shut. 2 Kings 7:1-2.
4. Pray your prophecy into manifestation. 1 Kings 18:41-45. Hold on to God until the miracle happens.

HOW CAN I PROVOKE A PROPHECY?

i.                     Intense praise and worship. 2 Kings 3:14-20; Psalm 22:3.

ii.                   Put God first. 1 Kings 17: 8-16.

iii.                  Seek to know and meet the needs of a genuine man of God, especially your pastor. 2 Kings 4:8-17.

iv.                 Give God an offering that is worthy of Him and worthy of you. 2 Kings 5:1-14.

CONCLUSION: Always remember when you give God a gift that God is not a beggar. There is a way you can give something to the Almighty God that will cause Him to say a word to you.
