Prophecies

1 Corinthians  14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.  14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.  14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

Apostle Paul unveils the power of prophecy as a divine communication that transcends mere human understanding. Prophecies, when spoken under the influence of the Holy Spirit, serve a purpose far beyond the individual. 

They are not just a personal connection with the divine but a channel through which God imparts strength, encouragement, and comfort to the entire body of believers.

As we navigate the complexities of life, prophecies become a beacon of hope, a source of strength that uplifts us in times of trials. They serve as a divine roadmap, guiding us through the challenges and uncertainties we encounter.

 Moreover, prophecy is not a self-centered endeavour; rather, it is a selfless act meant to build up the church, fostering unity and a shared sense of purpose among believers.

Let us embrace the prophetic gifts among us, recognizing that they are instruments through which God imparts His wisdom and love. Prophets also must be conscious of the move of God and be led by the Holy spirit and not just mere emotion or carnality 

 May we be open to receive these messages of strength, encouragement, and comfort, and in turn, be vessels through which God's grace flows to others.

In conclusion, let us appreciate the significance of prophecy in our spiritual journey. As we seek to strengthen our connection with God, let us also strive to be instruments of His encouragement and comfort to one another. In doing so, we fulfill the beautiful purpose of building up the body of Christ and spreading the transformative power of His love. Amen.

God bless you.
