Important Functions Of Prophetic Ministries

By Roger Stewart


Service to God requires full commitment and humbleness. Sometimes one may be tempted to be proud because of things they can perform when serving at the church. For you to be safe, you have to remain calm and ready to be corrected and live in the way of truth. In the next few paragraphs are some vital functions of prophetic ministries.

The first thing is bringing revelations to the church. This ministry makes the word of Christ live and makes it effectual in the life of people. It is transformed from just a word to live and powerfully to change a life. They make it applicable to many people. When people are given the thoughts of God on a particular subject, it becomes more touching affecting their lives as God wants.

They lead to spiritual authority as well. This office has the mandate to suppress any other spirit that tries to magnify itself against the kingdom of God. They are there to establish that none other than the ruling power of God. Such spirits may be rebellion or anyone planting a bad seed to divide the church or influence members to the wrong direction or false teaching.

They also set a pace for spiritual breakthrough. This is where God is about to establish something, or mission is coming on the way. The church has to be well prepared to experience the manifestation of Holy Spirit or dispensation of the power of Christ. They work to bring the believers to attention and let them cleanse themselves while awaiting the visitation.

They offer personal prophecy. This is where they get the revelation of a personal life in an individual level and bring that message to the concerned person. This is one of many operations in the church. They are used by God to give even word meant for a family or a given individual in connection with a given mystery or something to come in the future or present.

Same way, they lead people from their sins to holiness through corporate prayers where he or she drives the believers. It could be a mistake that has affected people or has made God angry. To escape the wrath of God, people are called to repentance and turn away from their sins and seek the face of God in their life. It could be a cry for God to relieve them mourning or calamity.

It is also established that they challenge false doctrines or spiritual manifestations that draws power other than that of true God. Normally, they would come into public and declare a challenge to a false religion and prove they are not teaching the right thing or ministering with the power from true God. Such occasions would draw people back to the true faith.

Likewise, they carry the explanation of unknowns of God. In this sense, they explain various occurrences that have left people wondering what was happening or what is going to come. This is a very critical ministry to keep people aware of Christ intervention in the time of struggle or calamity that they do not know the cause or outcome.
