Prophecy is God speaking ahead of things He has ordained to making it known to His children Isa. 42:8-9; 46:9-10. In essence, God will first make known a thing before He goes ahead to do it, this is what is known as prophecy. The good news is that whatever God says He will do, is what He is committed to deliver Num. 23:19. But only those who will accept responsibility of invoking Him to work that will see what God has said come to pass. How do we know what God will do? The scripture contains the mind of God about His children 2Pet. 1:19-21; Isa. 34:16.

Scriptural Prophetic Lifeline for the Redeemed.

In essence, what God says about believers as captured in scriptures.

1. Redeemed for Honour.

Honour means to be esteemed or given recognition beyond one’s qualifications and level Mat. 2:6; 1Sam. 9:21. This is God’s will for every believer; to be highly esteemed above one’s qualification Jn. 12:24-26; 1Sam. 2:30. As long as the believer remains active to gathering multitudes into the church, he is entitles to enjoy honour Pro. 14:28; 1Sam. 2:30.

• Redeemed as stars.

A star is one that is successfully outstanding Dan. 1:19-20. God’s will for His children is to be stars in life, this is what redemption offers the believer Rev. 22:16; Jn. 17:18. As the believer keeps going after souls for Christ, he is sure to emerge a star Dan. 12:3.

• Redeemed as pacesetter, pathfinder, and trailblazers.

A pacesetter, pathfinder or trailblazer is one who accomplishes what no one before him has ever done Lk. 5:26; Mat. 13:54. This is who an individual is turned into by redemption, a pacesetter in life Mat. 5:13-16; Isa 62:3. As the believer maintains his love for God, he retains the grace for pacesetting 1Cor. 2:9.

• Redeemed to enjoy marital settlement.

God’s will for everyone of His child is to be happily married and enjoy an enviable home Gen. 2:18; Psa. 68:5-6. This is because marriage is ordained to bring man into God’s blessing, which will make for his all-round success Gen. 1:27-28; Heb. 13:4.

• Redeemed to enjoy a good old age.

A good old age means to be advanced in age yet active, productive, and still relevant in life Deu. 34:1-2, 7; Psa. 92:13-14.

How to make Prophetic Word Deliver speedily.
