Important Functions Of Prophetic Ministries

By Roger Stewart


When serving in any office in the church, one is expected to give all his or her commitment to service. People are gifted differently, and all are commissioned to work for the unity of church and edification of the body of Christ now the church. You are supposed to be serving each other for the glory of God. Here are some essential functions of prophetic ministries.

They are the custodian of the revelation of the word. This means they make the word become more effective and live to the life of listeners. Normally, they would read the word but would not get where it is applied in their life. The prophecy will be giving such understanding for people to get what area of their life the word is transforming or manifesting its power.

They also establish spiritual authority. Prophets stand and attack the opposing spirits that are working against the will of Christ. They are meant to warn people against the presence of opposing power and suppress them to establish the kingdom of God instead. They are therefore there to jeopardize the activities of opposing power plans and purpose.

They prepare the church for spiritual breakthrough in a given mission. This could be a project the church is about to undertake or planning to implement. God will bring forth a word before the real commencing of the work to give them strength and prepare them adequately to take the roles. It would also something that God wants them.

Personal prophecy is part of major operations as well. This is seen when a word of Christ is revealed to them but meant for a particular person, not all the people. It could answer to prayers or something that has been bothering the person in their normal life. This role is essential as it gives the members assurance of Christ intervention in their affairs and faith issues.

Likewise, they lead people from sin to holiness. This is where they warn people of their sinful ways and call them to repentance. They give the direction that they should follow and lead their intercession with the backup of members. They dictate direction on what God wants for them to heal from a given calamity or catastrophic event that may be seen as subject to their sinfulness.

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.

They are stewards of mysteries of the Almighty in the nation or church. They would strand to explain things affecting the group and offer a solution through the help of God. Through this process, people can know what role to play and what to keep ahead as well as what to release. This may bring relief to a nation grieved or stricken by a calamity.
