FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by anyone — because YOU ARE your own PROPHET.

Meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM any PROPHECY blindly — for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures, and sets one FREE.

FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, the majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondage in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, who unknowingly are more like FORTUNE TELLERS operating by SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God, by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices they have exposed people to in their vulnerability.

For God’s GENUINE PROPHET is CALLED and SENT FORTH as a MESSENGER with His message, which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredit the essence of the PROPHET and PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testaments — Ephesians 4:11-16.
Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS, and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same. They are contrary across both TESTAMENTS — 1 Corinthians 12:4-7. And unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising the intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP:

The KING — To oversee, protect, and defend in civic governance of the people.

The PRIEST — To minister to God on behalf of the people.

The PROPHET — To HEAR and RECEIVE the WORD from Father God for the people.

And more importantly, none of them, or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD, were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED, AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT living within, in order to authenticate the WORD of God as it is today — John 3:3-8, 16-18.

For the Holy Spirit came UPON these three sects as and when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligation under God. He came UPON them ONLY. He did not LIVE in them.

And the PROPHET, as per this context, in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR the WORD from God by the Holy Spirit that came UPON them ONLY to minister to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORETELL — FORE-TELLING — in ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORETELL, which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs, and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving the immediate or future purpose of God to His people.

And in each case God did not leave His people in limbo, but gave direction for their journey to fulfil His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose.

And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION, which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus — Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25.

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, THE RESULT AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET, differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity.

And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the right to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no need for a bypass through any person or persons.

And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT on any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORT, to ascertain if it is of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET is ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL — FORTH-TELLING — in ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORTH TELL is a verb, and it is to tell forth; that is, to publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out, and broadcast the GOSPEL — the Good News of that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION — which result is EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION, and COMFORT — 1 Corinthians 14:3-4. Wherein there is no fear, threat, complex, or unnecessary sentiment used to appeal to anyone at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE, and PROMISE in Christ Jesus in us by the WORD, we need no such ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET — 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not to self, ego, and personality — Revelation 19:10.

And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not submit it to be EXAMINED indicates error, ignorance, pride, rudeness, and self-egoism, and such like — Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29.

Every PROPHECY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD — Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21.

It is unfortunate that some sects of ministers have assumed to become PROPHET or to have a PROPHETIC message — whom I call ‘SO CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of not being ardent searchers of the SCRIPTURES as BEREAN Christians — Acts 17:10-13, and are exerting and exercising OLD TESTAMENT prophetic ministerial acts on NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practised are unbiblical and unscriptural, and they result in FORTUNE TELLING — FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER. This is the act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods such as sorcery, spells, witchcraft, and the like — Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20.

This is FRAUD and FALSEHOOD. And many who do not care to READ, KNOW, and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit have become victims, and are lured into such bondages with all forms of fear and phobias in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT — to EXAMINE — without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING — Acts 17:10-13, before you commit your life to it. Otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God’s, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION — 1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29.

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 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. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

Further Scriptural Reading: Ephesians 4:7-16; Revelation 19:10; Isaiah 8:20. Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 10:23. 1 Corinthians 14:36-40. 1 John 4:1-3. 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; 1 Corinthians 14:2-4; Joel 2:28-29; John 7:37-39; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Romans 8:14-16, 26-27; Ezekiel 11:19-20; Ezekiel 36:26-27

SUMMARY:
The message is a scriptural warning and teaching on FORE-TELLING vs FORTH-TELLING: the difference between OLD TESTAMENT and NEW TESTAMENT Prophets and Prophecy.
Because Christ has come and the Holy Spirit now LIVES IN us, YOU ARE your own PROPHET. You have the right to EXAMINE and JUDGE every prophecy. Do not be deceived by “SO CALLED PROPHETS” who operate like FORTUNE TELLERS. New Testament prophecy must point to Jesus and produce EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION, and COMFORT — not fear, bondage, or manipulation.

Key Points:

YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET
1 Corinthians 14:29 — Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE
The Holy Spirit LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN TRUTH. 2 Timothy 1:7 — For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
OLD TESTAMENT = FORE-TELLING
The Spirit came UPON them as and when needed.
Offices: KING to govern, PRIEST to minister to God, PROPHET to HEAR and RECEIVE the WORD for the people.
None were BORN AGAIN or FILLED with the Spirit living within John 3:3-8 — Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Function: To FORETELL — predict as instructed, to tell the future and God’s plan.
Purpose: To lead Israel toward REDEMPTION fulfilled in Christ Jesus Luke 24:44-45 — all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
NEW TESTAMENT = FORTH-TELLING
REDEMPTION is FULFILLED in Christ. We are BORN OF GOD, BAPTISED and FILLED with the indwelling Holy Spirit John 14:16-17 — And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth.
We have direct access to God with no bypass. By the Spirit and the Word, one CAN make JUDGEMENT on any PROPHECY 1 Corinthians 14:29 — let the other JUDGE | Acts 17:11 — they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
The New Testament Prophet SPEAKS FORTH — to publish, make known, and broadcast the Gospel.
Result: 1 Corinthians 14:3-4 — he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT. No fear, threat, or intimidation.
HOW TO SPOT “SO CALLED PROPHETS” / FORTUNE TELLERS
They exercise OLD TESTAMENT acts on NEW TESTAMENT people. This is unbiblical and leads to bondage.
FORTUNE TELLING is like sorcery, spells, palmistry, witchcraft Acts 8:9-11 — But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery | Acts 19:19 — many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together. This is FRAUD and FALSEHOOD.
Revelation 19:10 — FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Any true prophecy will point to Jesus, not to self or ego.
THE WORD IS THE FINAL TEST
Isaiah 8:20 — To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM
2 Peter 1:19-20 — We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED… knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION
Be like the BEREANS Acts 17:11 — they searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
1 Corinthians 14:33 — For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace.

Call to Action

STIR UP THE GIFT IN YOU: 2 Timothy 1:6 — Stir up the gift of God, which is in thee. Stop depending blindly on men.
EXAMINE EVERYTHING: No matter who speaks, JUDGE it by the Word before you commit your life to it 1 Corinthians 14:29 — let the other JUDGE | 1 John 4:1 — believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God.
BE A BEREAN: READ, KNOW, and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD daily Acts 17:11.
REJECT FEAR AND MANIPULATION: 1 John 4:18 — There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear. Walk away from threats, spells, and fortune-telling.
DESIRE FORTH-TELLING: 1 Corinthians 14:1 — desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY — to edify, exhort and comfort 1 Corinthians 14:3.

Final Charge:
NOW WE HAVE CHRIST. The Spirit is IN you. Test all things. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Be free. Be informed. Be fulfilled.

HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS” – IN THE GRACE!

August 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS” – IN THE GRACE!

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS: worship God: for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:9-10.

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.

I WELCOME YOU SPECIALLY by the scriptures of Revelation 19:9-10 and Philippians 2:16, to the DAWN of the eighth [8] month in the year of our Lord 2026; For the Month of AUGUST – thus signifying a NEW DAWN MONTH to partake of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

And as we journey through AUGUST, let us remember: “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS” – in grace, as we do life and live godly in Him.

The Month of AUGUST, being the eight month of the year, represents a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth month in both the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that has 31 days.

And it is my earnest PRAYER as we have stepped into this month, that we hold on to that PRINCIPLE in grace that will help and keep us to do life and live godly in Him.

The name AUGUST thus creates an inspiring, revealing and empowering context of grace – as being sanctified – set apart for uniqueness and class in – REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDNESS AND LORDLINESS. And concerning the matter of “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS”, it is in this that we are ensured and assured in grace to AUGUST – that is, to be DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND, LORDLY and all such like.

And through this month of AUGUST, I will be exploring how we can HOLD FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS in every aspect of our doing life and living godly in His grace. For it is in our HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS that we experience the genuine spirit of prophecy – unadulterated, uncompromising, unpolluted and without sentiments, prejudice, or dissimulation. And it is simply because, in grace, we have A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY to ensure us of God’s BLESSEDNESS, as it is written:

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

And one major principles of HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE in grace unwaveringly, as it is written:

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.

Therefore, in this Month of AUGUST, I trust that you will get yourself ready for the teaching journey on the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of God’s grace in Christ Jesus and on what “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST” will produce.

Welcome once again to the month of AUGUST! And may you find every reason to ensure and assure yourself that as you HOLD FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS, you will experience the blessedness of grace -in being REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and all such like.

Be blessed in grace as we explore this truth through the month, in grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16 HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all” Philippians 2:13-17.

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:9-10.

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the law among my disciples . . . 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no light in them” Isaiah 8:16-20.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“BE NOT THOU THEREFORE ASHAMED OF THE TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD, NOR OF ME HIS PRISONER: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 11 whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles” 2 Timothy 1:8-11.

“I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5 that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6 even as THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST WAS CONFIRMED IN YOU: 7 so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:4-9.

“Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 HOLDING THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:8-9.

“For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8 but a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9 HOLDING FAST THE FAITHFUL WORD as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers” Titus 1:7-9.

SUMMARY

The entire message is a prophetic welcome and charge into the 8th month, August — positioned as a “NEW DAWN MONTH” to partake of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

THE KEY POINTS

WELCOME & SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION

The message opened by welcoming people into August 2026 using 2 anchors:

Revelation 19:9-10 — “THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is the spirit of PROPHECY”

Philippians 2:16 — “HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE”
This establishes that August is a season to live, speak, and demonstrate Jesus.

THE MEANING OF AUGUST

8th month = NEW BEGINNING. One of 7 months with 31 days. In both JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars.

Name “AUGUST” carries a grace context of being sanctified/set apart for: REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDNESS, LORDLINESS.

Therefore, to “AUGUST” means to walk as DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND, LORDLY — a product of holding forth Jesus.

THE CORE PRINCIPLE FOR THE MONTH

The earnest prayer is that we hold on to PRINCIPLE in grace to “do life and live godly in Him.”
The teaching journey for August will explore how to HOLD FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS in every aspect of life.

Key truths established:

Holding forth the Testimony of Jesus = Experiencing the genuine spirit of prophecy — unadulterated, uncompromising, without prejudice.

Reason: Because we have “A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” — 2 Peter 1:19-21. Scripture is God-breathed, not private interpretation.

One major way to do this: HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE unwaveringly — Philippians 2:16, so our labour is not in vain.

THE EXPECTED OUTCOME/BLESSEDNESS

As you hold forth the testimony of Jesus, you will experience the blessedness of grace manifested as being REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND, etc.
It’s a call to get ready for the “teaching journey on the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of God’s grace in Christ Jesus.”

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER

The message is backed with a cloud of witnesses:

Philippians 2:13-17 — God works in us, shine as lights, holding forth the Word of Life

Revelation 19:9-10 & 12:11 — Testimony of Jesus + Word of their testimony = overcoming

Isaiah 8:16-20 — Bind the Testimony. To the Law and Testimony!

2 Timothy 1:8-11 — “BE NOT ASHAMED OF THE TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD”

1 Corinthians 1:4-9 — The Testimony of Christ was confirmed in you

1 Timothy 1:18-20, 3:8-9 & Titus 1:7-9 — Holding faith, holding the mystery of faith, holding fast the faithful word

IN ONE SENTENCE:

August is a NEW DAWN to intentionally HOLD FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS by holding forth the Word of Life. As we do this in grace, we walk in the sanctified, majestic identity of “AUGUST” and experience the unadulterated spirit of prophecy and God’s blessedness.

Tone: Prophetic, empowering, teaching, and celebratory. It’s both a welcome and a charge.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

July 29, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Do not be deceived and mistaken anymore by anyone – because you ARE your own PROPHET. Meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, the majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondage in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO-CALLED PROPHETS, who unknowingly are more like FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO-CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God, by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices they have exposed people to in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGERS with His message, which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredit the essence of PROPHET and PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATION, ADMINISTRATION and MANIFESTATION are not the same, meaning they are contrary in each TESTAMENT (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising the patterns of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP :
The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in the civic governance of the people),

The PRIEST (To minister To God on behalf of the People)

The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people).

And more importantly, none of them, nor the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD, were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT living within, in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit came upon these three sects as and when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It came UPON them ONLY. It Never LIVED in them.

And the PROPHET, as per this context, in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that came UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL – that is, FORE-TELLING – in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORETELL, which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving the immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God did not leave His people in limbo but gave direction for their journey to fulfill His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all these in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION, which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS –THE RESULT AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET, differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God, in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide and guard the respective individual and collective body. We are also given the right to access God unhindered, individually and collectively, with no need to bypass any person. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT on any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCE of any SORT – to discern if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET is ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL – FORTH TELLING – in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH-TELL is a verb and it means to tell forth; that is, to publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL – the Good News – of that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION, the result of which is EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there is no fear, threat, complex or unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and WILL in Christ Jesus in us by The WORD, we need none of such ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seem to be open to EXAMININATION indicates error, ignorance, pride, rudeness, self-egoism and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It is unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHETS or to have a PROPHETIC message which I call ‘SO-CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of not being diligent searchers of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA N Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practiced are unbiblical and unscriptural and they result in FORTUNE-TELLING – FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER. This is the act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods such as sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOOD and many unfortunately, who do not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit, have become victims. They are lured into such bondages with all forms of fear and phobias in order to get them to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT – that is, to EXAMINE – without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God’s, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

SUMMARY:

This is a doctrinal charge and warning to the Church on how to discern true prophecy and why the New Testament believer is not meant to be deceived by counterfeit prophetic acts.

THE CORE WARNING: YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET

The opening charge is that you are not to be deceived. Because the Holy Spirit LIVES IN YOU, you have the responsibility and right to EXAMINE, THAT IS, JUDGE THE SPIRIT before you blindly affirm any prophecy.
Scripture: “Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE” — [1 Corinthians 14:29].
Fear has no place. The Spirit in you assures, ensures and sets free.

THE PROBLEM: SO-CALLED PROPHETS AND FORTUNE-TELLING

Many innocent Christians have ended up in bondage chasing miracles from SO-CALLED PROPHETS. These are not genuine prophets of God. Their unscriptural acts and vices expose people in their vulnerability.
Their operation is closer to FORTUNE-TELLING — palmistry, crystal balls, sorcery, spells, witchcraft [Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20]. This is FRAUD AND FALSEHOOD.
People are lured with fear, phobias, threats and intimidation because they do not READ, KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD’S WORD.
God’s genuine prophet is called and sent as a messenger with God’s message and does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET: FORE-TELLING

Scriptural Basis: The essence of prophet and prophetic ministry is accredited in both Testaments [Ephesians 4:11-16], but their OPERATION, ADMINISTRATION AND MANIFESTATION are not the same [1 Corinthians 12:4-7].

OLD TESTAMENT STRUCTURE:
There were three leadership offices:

THE KING — to oversee, protect and defend in civic governance.

THE PRIEST — to minister to God on behalf of the people.

THE PROPHET — to HEAR and RECEIVE THE WORD from God for the people.

KEY DIFFERENCE: None in the Old Testament were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT [John 3:3-8, 16-18].
The Holy Spirit CAME UPON them only when needed to accomplish God’s purpose in their jurisdiction. It never LIVED in them.

FUNCTION: The Old Testament prophet was to FORE-TELL — to predict as instructed, to tell the future before it occurs, and to declare God’s plan for immediate or future purposes. God did not leave His people in limbo; He gave direction for their journey.
All of this was part of God’s PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT TOWARDS HUMAN REDEMPTION, which was fulfilled in CHRIST JESUS [Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25].

NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET:FORTH TELLING

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS — THE RESULT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. Redemption is fulfilled.

KEY DIFFERENCES:

Indwelling Spirit: Believers today are born of God, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide and guard us individually and corporately.
Direct Access: We have the right to access God unhindered, with no need to bypass any person.
Discernment: By the indwelling Spirit and the Word, every believer CAN MAKE JUDGEMENT on any prophecy to discern if it is of God.

FUNCTION: The New Testament prophet is ONLY IN A POSITION TO SPEAK FORTH — FORTH-TELL.
To FORTH-TELL means to publish abroad, make known, spread, and broadcast the GOSPEL — the Good News of what Christ has fulfilled in Redemption.
The result of genuine New Testament prophecy is EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION AND COMFORT [1 Corinthians 14:3-4].
There is no fear, threat, complex or manipulation.

Because we live in the realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL AND AUTHENTICATE GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND WILL IN CHRIST [1 Corinthians 2:9-10], we do not need Old Testament prophetic acts.
Genuine prophetic prophecy will always point to JESUS, not to self, ego or personality [Revelation 19:10].

THE TEST: EXAMINE EVERY PROPHECY

Any prophecy that is not open to EXAMINATION shows signs of error, ignorance, pride and self-egoism [Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29].
Every prophecy MUST BE EXAMINED IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD [Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21].
Be like the BEREAN CHRISTIANS who searched the Scriptures daily to verify if things were so [Acts 17:10-13].

THE FINAL CHARGE

It is absurd that some ministers are practicing Old Testament prophetic patterns on New Testament believers. These dubious acts lead people into bondage and fear.
Dear Believer: You have the right in Christ to JUDGE WITHOUT BEING JUDGEMENTAL. If you affirm error, the consequence is yours — God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION [1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29].
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT IN NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.
“For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” — [2 Timothy 1:6-7].
“There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear” — [1 John 4:17-18].

THE BOTTOM LINE IN ONE LINE:

Old Testament prophecy was FORE-TELLING by the Spirit UPON men. New Testament prophecy is FORTH TELLING the finished work of Christ by the Spirit IN men. Test everything by the Word, point everything to Jesus, and reject fear.

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY

July 29, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY: ANY PROPHECY MUST CONVEY THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS!

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP him. And he said unto me, See thou DO IT NOT: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: WORSHIP God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

It is time to wake up from your SLUMBERING and WANDERING desire to be seeking a PROPHECY, instead of seeking the Lord God of PROPHECY in Christ Jesus’ stead.

And ENOUGH of that FOOLISHNESS, IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY.

You must come to know that no matter who DARES to speak into your life — whether a MAN or an ANGEL and the like — concerning the so-called and acclaimed PROPHECY or PROPHETIC MESSAGE, such a message MUST CONVEY THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS in your life.

And such a message must of necessity align with these principles of grace:
What Christ HAS DONE, What He IS DOING in you, and What He WILL DO through you in His WORD and His LOVE, by the blessed HOLY SPIRIT who is given and lives within you in the grace.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5/NKJV.

The Testimony of God in Christ Jesus is the only authentic, vital and legally binding deed of God, wherein you have BETTER and DONE ACCESS, PROMISES, COVENANT, RELATIONSHIP, FELLOWSHIP and the like, in the grace.

And that is HOW TO MEASURE and DISCERN the TRUE and GENUINE spirit of PROPHECY.

For the message of prophecy and the prophetic message is to EDIFY, EXHORT and COMFORT.

“But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue EDIFIETH himself; but he that PROPHESIETH EDIFIETH the church” 1 Corinthians 14:3-4.

Anything that contradicts the Holy Writ of 1 Corinthians 14:3-5, especially that which attracts FEAR and THREATENING in all its ramifications, is false and falsehood, no matter who is speaking.

For God is not the author of confusion.

God wants you to be a VICTOR and not a VICTIM, and let no one take you for granted, especially in your moments of vulnerability.

It is not about the NOISE but the WORD of God in graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, OR AN ANGEL from heaven, PREACH (PROPHESY) any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH [PROPHESY] any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9/Emphasis Mine.

The Holy Scripture is graciously clear about the spirit of PROPHECY for the New Creation in Christ Jesus.

It is about the TESTIMONY of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in us.

It must AFFIRM you gracefully by THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU and by THE WORD, in God’s love — and not intimidate or undermine your place in Christ Jesus’ stead.

“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:17.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

Godly inspired PROPHECY is about TESTIFYING, AFFIRMING, DECLARING and PROCLAIMING the TESTIMONY of our FAITH on what Jesus HAS DONE, IS DOING and WILL DO in your life by THE WORD and THE HOLY SPIRIT, which conveys EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT.

It thus means that a GENUINE PROPHET with PROPHECY and PROPHESYING is the one who graciously and gracefully ministers and speaks to people unto EDIFICATION, in order to promote their spiritual growth in wisdom, devotion, holiness and the joy of the Lord.
It also speaks WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT to uphold and advise concerning the matters of God.
And it speaks WORDS OF CONSOLATION to compassionately comfort in all matters of LIFE and GODLINESS [Godly Living].

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the LAW among my disciples . .19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:16, 19-20.

And in all these, it MUST be without any acts of FEAR and THREAT and GAIN.
For God has not given us the spirit of FEAR, THREAT and INTIMIDATION 2 Timothy 1:7.
And God’s perfect love in Christ, expressed through PROPHECY, casts out every element of FEAR and TORMENT and CONFUSION and SCHISM 1 John 4:17-18; 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; Ephesians 3:17-19.

There must be a profound SCRIPTURAL indication of genuine prophecy as in 1 Corinthians 14:3-4, that anyone can believe upon and that must be acclaimed to be given, delivered and received of God.
And that is the most gracious and graceful way to avoid and KEEP AT BAY false PROPHETS with FALSEHOODS, CUNNING and CRAFTY PROPHECY who come with THREAT, FRIGHTENING, MADE-UP FEARS and BONDAGES.

May I say emphatically that genuine PROPHETS and PROPHECY should give others the opportunity to EXAMINE — that is, to JUDGE without being judgemental — to ascertain that the prophecy acclaimed by them is of God and Scriptural, as expected in the light of the Scriptures. Otherwise, such is proud, arrogant and false 1 Corinthians 14:29-33; 1 Corinthians 2:11-16; Isaiah 8:20; Revelation 19:10.

Know today that ANYTHING contrary is FRAUD, SORCERY and WITCHCRAFT Acts 8:9-26.

Are you building your life on just a so-called prophet’s prophecy?
Or relying on a recorded, creed-like prophetic book referenced to you?
Please PAUSE and THINK scripturally about it before you act on it.

God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit is still actively at work today, as in the Bible days, and for your tomorrow.
God’s WORD is the only authentic, authoritative, undiluted and unadulterated prophecy that EXAMINES any so-called prophecy from any so-called prophet or prophetess, for your today and tomorrow VICTORY and TRIUMPH, irrespective of anything. Hebrews 13:8; Hebrews 4:12-13; Acts 17:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:15.

DON’T BE DELUDED BY ANYONE OR ANY MATERIAL — READ THE WORD AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR SPIRIT BEING. FOR YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN DISCERNMENT, NOT SOMEONE ELSE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: WORSHIP God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“And they OVERCAME and CONQUERED him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death” Revelation 12:11/Amplified.

“Beloved, BELIEVE NOT every spirit, but TRY [EXAMINE] the spirits whether they ARE of God: because many FALSE prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ALREADY is it in the world” John 4:1-3/Emphasis Mine.

“For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and ALL MAY BE COMFORTED. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are SUBJECT to the prophets. 33 For God is NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . . 36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37 If any man THINK himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the COMMANDMENTS of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done DECENTLY and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:31-40.

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 10:23

SUMMARY:
This message is about testing every prophecy, prophet and prophetic word by one unchanging standard: THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST. It calls believers to wake up from chasing prophecies and instead seek the Lord God of Prophecy, whilst learning to discern the genuine from the false in the light of Scripture.

KEY POINTS:

THE CENTRAL STANDARD: REVELATION 19:10

“FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.”
Any prophecy, no matter who delivers it — MAN or ANGEL — must CONVEY THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS in your life. Galatians 1:8-9 warns that even if “WE, OR AN ANGEL from heaven” preach another gospel, let him be accursed.
The Testimony of God in Christ Jesus is the only authentic, vital and legally binding deed of God. It is where you have ACCESS, PROMISES, COVENANT, RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP in the grace.

THE 3-FOLD PURPOSE OF GENUINE PROPHECY: 1 CORINTHIANS 14:3-4

“He that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT.”
A genuine prophet therefore:

EDIFIES — promotes spiritual growth in wisdom, devotion, holiness and the joy of the Lord.

EXHORTS — gives words of encouragement to uphold and advise on the matters of God.

COMFORTS — gives words of consolation in all matters of LIFE and GODLINESS.

If it does not build up, encourage, and comfort, it is not God.

THE 3-FOLD FRAMEWORK OF CHRIST’S WORK

Godly prophecy must align with what Christ has done in grace:
What Christ HAS DONE
What He IS DOING in you
What He WILL DO through you
This is made real by THE WORD and THE HOLY SPIRIT who is given and lives within you. Romans 5:5; John 14:17 — The Holy Spirit within you affirms the Word and sheds God’s love in your heart.

RED FLAGS: WHAT FALSE PROPHECY LOOKS LIKE

Anything that contradicts 1 Corinthians 14:3-5 is false, especially if it brings:
FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION, CONFUSION, TORMENT, SCHISM
2 Timothy 1:7 — God has not given us the spirit of fear.
1 Corinthians 14:33 — God is NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace.
False prophets use FALSEHOODS, CUNNING, CRAFTY PROPHECY, MADE-UP FEARS and BONDAGES to control people in their moments of vulnerability. Acts 8:9-26 — Anything contrary to the Word is FRAUD, SORCERY and WITCHCRAFT.

HOW TO TEST AND DISCERN: ISAIAH 8:20; 1 JOHN 4:1-3

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no LIGHT in them.” Isaiah 8:20
“Beloved, BELIEVE NOT every spirit, but TRY [EXAMINE] the spirits whether they ARE of God” 1 John 4:1
Genuine prophecy must be EXAMINED and JUDGED without being judgemental 1 Corinthians 14:29. It must be SCRIPTURAL, DECENT and IN ORDER 1 Corinthians 14:40.
Isaiah 8:16 — “Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the LAW among my disciples.”

THE CALL TO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

It is time to wake up from SLUMBERING and WANDERING after prophecies.
ENOUGH of FOOLISHNESS, IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY.
Do not build your life on a so-called prophet or a recorded prophetic book.
DON’T BE DELUDED BY ANYONE OR ANY MATERIAL — READ THE WORD AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR SPIRIT BEING. FOR YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN DISCERNMENT, NOT SOMEONE ELSE. SELAH — PAUSE AND THINK.

God’s WORD is the only authentic, authoritative, undiluted and unadulterated prophecy that examines every other so-called prophecy for your today and tomorrow VICTORY and TRIUMPH. Hebrews 4:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-17

FINAL WORD

It is not about NOISE but the WORD of God in graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. God wants you to be a VICTOR and not a VICTIM.
Revelation 12:11 — “they OVERCAME… because of THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY.”

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS

May 20, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS: THESE GIFTS ARE GIVEN TO EDIFY [BUILD UP, MATURE, COMPLETE AND PROFIT] ALL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CALLINGS AND SKILLS/TALENTS [ABILITY]!

“There are DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, but the same Spirit. 5 There are DIFFERENCES OF MINISTRIES, but the same Lord. 6 And there are DIVERSITIES OF ACTIVITIES, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the MANIFESTATION of the Spirit is GIVEN TO EACH ONE FOR THE PROFIT OF ALL” 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 NKJV.

About a week ago, I went out to get a replacement pressing Iron for the house while on my way to doing the day’s schedule and activities. My natural instinct was to go to the same shopping centre where we bought the last one, knowing it was good and had lasted in use for a while. And as I drove into the parking lot of the shopping mall, I heard a voice within me – the Holy Spirit saying I should check the MOBILE APP of another shop in another shopping centre location, which wasn’t part of my plan.

So, I checked the MOBILE APP like I was instructed, to see the kind of the pressing Iron I intended. And when I did, I went into the shopping mall I’d just parked at, with the MOBILE APP was still active on my phone to compare. To my awesome surprise – lo and behold – the exact pressing Iron was there on App. But there was a problem – 10% difference in the prices and the warranty terms differed compared to the shop the Holy Spirit told me to check while I was in the parking lot.

And since prudence is the scriptural essence, I left for the shopping mall of the MOBILE APP like I was informed and instructed by the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot – for the price difference and better warranty too. I found PEACE in that obedience and SAVINGS in cost of buying plus ASSURANCE of the needed warranty for my purchase. The essence of the CHARISMATIC GIFTS in us is at WORK within me, leading and guiding as in our REDEMPTION bill of rights and privileges in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. The essence is just about living and doing life by OBEYING THE INSTRUCTIONS of the Holy Spirit as given through the CHARISMATIC GIFTS within you, which are of Him as written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 2:20, 27.

“But ye have an UNCTION from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . 27 But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the SAME ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” 1 John 2:20, 27

Why is the story of the pressing Iron important? Does it matter? Won’t common sense tell me I should have done that check earlier, anyway, before leaving home? Whatever, what’s important in the whole sum: there’s an answer in ESSENCE to any of our situation and circumstances. It indicates that no matter the circumstances we find ourselves in – knowingly or unknowingly – the PRESENCE of the CHARISMATIC GIFTS of the Holy Spirit within us WORKS. And that PRESENCE in our Christian life is to help build up, complete, and mature our triune being in every way and everywhere. While we make daily decisions in our callings, skills/talents [ability], in fulfilling purpose, while doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

When you get BORN AGAIN (giving your whole being to believe in God through the redemption act of Christ Jesus as your Saviour and Lord) and be BAPTISED with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit in essence comes along with His CHARISMATIC GIFTS to dwell in you – to help build you up, complete you, and mature your wellbeing in humanity. In respect of doing live and living godly through any and all of these (but not limited to):

Your Spiritual CALLINGS (Ministerial/Others) – Romans 8:28-30, 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:27-30; Ephesians 4:11. Numbers 11:24-30; 1 John 2:20, 27.
Your Human SKILLS/TALENTS (ABILITY) – Daniel 1:17; Ecclesiastes 9:11; 2 Chronicles 34:12; 2 Chronicles 2:7-8; Nehemiah 5:8; Proverbs 18:15-16; 1 John 2:20, 27.

Just for clarification, each and every one of the believing ones in Christ Jesus is given the charismatic gifts by THE MEASURE of God’s grace and not by A MEASURE, according to the given callings and skills/talent (ability) that we are respectively involved in our doing life and godliness. Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; 1 John 2:20, 27. It thus means you have all it takes within you by the Holy Spirit to do life and live godly unlimitedly, except you chose to frustrate such endowed grace that’s given to you to be built up and mature in humanity like some who misuses their opportunities for righteous cause – Galatians 2:21; Romans 1:18.

“I do not FRUSTRATE (SET ASIDE) the GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:21 Emphasis Mine.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who SUPPRESS the TRUTH in unrighteousness” Romans 1:18 NKJV

Now, know that when Christ Jesus led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE in His ascending to the heavenly, in the CAUSE of our REDEMPTION, He RECEIVED gifts and GAVE these gifts to us (as explained in some of my past posts). Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:8-10; Revelation 12:9-12. One aspect of the GIFT is the gift of the comforter, teacher, helper and more – the blessed Holy Spirit – Ephesians 1 :11-14; John 14:15-17, 26; Luke 24:49; Joel 2:28-32; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-20; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7; Romans 8:26-27. And the Holy Spirit comes with the CHARISMATIC GIFTS (which could be called SPIRITUAL GIFTS). I used the CHARISMATIC GIFTS to differentiate because everything God gave us in Christ Jesus comes spiritual, which by our act of FAITH in obedience to such gifts, are then made physical – tangible, touchable, and reachable. Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Proverbs 10:22.

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability or synergy within that gives one the enabling to attract, charm, boost, and influence others towards a given driven CAUSE – Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it, but however everyone needs it to do life in their CALLINGS and Talent to be fulfilled in God. For the term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you want to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. And all these by the Holy Spirit through the WORD makes one to be fulfilled meaningfully in Christ Jesus’ stead.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLES God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as it’s written:

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21 (Amplified).

And for BELIEVERS in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS (endowment) cum TALENTS is sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit. It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations. These spiritual fruit that formulates one’s character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic gifts and acts are (but not limited to) as in these Scriptures: Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5-8; Philippians 4:8.

There are nine (9) major charismatic gifts given to us to be BUILT UP and MATURED to HELP us live in the realm of being ABOVE ONLY, meaning, from the ordinary common realm in cause of doing life and living godly. So, believers have no excuse of living a limited life by any measure or be subjected or controlled or dominated by any as a helpless one. Each is to use the charismatic gifts to PROFIT and EDIFY – BUILD UP – and MATURE each other in Christ Jesus, not the other way round like we see some today: ROBBING, CONTROLLING, SUBJECTING, DOMINEERING OTHERS, (vulnerable ones) by their CHARISMATIC GIFTS; while OTHERS use theirs to create SCHISM – DIVISION, CONTENTION, ENVY, STRIFE, etc, in the local and collective BODY MINISTRY of Christ Jesus – Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 26, 33; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. And for such that cause schisms, contentions, disorders, etc, you need to keep away and at bay, as Apostle Paul warns too – Romans 16:17-18; Timothy 1:18-20; 1 Corinthians 11:17-19; 1 Corinthians 3:2-9; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17.

However, these NINE (9) CHARISMATIC GIFTS can be classified in this context of 1 Corinthians 12:9-11 in this principle:

The REVELATION Gifts – The gifts that REVEALS things: THE WORD OF WISDOM; THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE; THE DISCERNING OF SPIRITS.
The POWER Gifts – The gifts that DOES things: THE GIFT OF FAITH; THE WORKING OF MIRACLES; THE GIFTS OF HEALINGS.
The INSPIRATIONAL Gifts – The gifts that INSPIRE things: THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES; THE DIVERSE (DIFFERENT) KINDS OF TONGUES.

Each of the above gifts is given to everyone severally by the Holy Spirit as one earnestly desire their PRESENCE in one’s work and walk with God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Whether it’s ministerial calling, business/entrepreneurship, family, marital and friendship relationships, career pursuit, leadership and governance at any level, creativity, innovation, exploring, etc, the CHARISMATIC GIFTS are here for your wellbeing to grow, thrive, and be fulfilled meaningfully. 1 Corinthians 12: 1; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 39-40.

I pray that you find the reason not to depend on yourself, but on the Holy Spirit of promise, that He might give you the needed CHARISMATIC GIFTS, in order to fulfil PURPOSE, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was SLAIN TO RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” Revelation 5:9-12.

“But unto EVERY ONE OF US IS GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)” Ephesians 4:7-10.

“As for these four children, God GAVE them knowledge and SKILL in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams” Daniel 1:17.

“Now concerning SPIRITUAL GIFTS, brethren, I do not want you to be IGNORANT: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, but the same Spirit. 5 There are DIFFERENCES OF MINISTRIES, but the same Lord. 6 And there are DIVERSITIES OF ACTIVITIES, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is GIVEN to each one FOR THE PROFIT OF ALL: 8 for to one is given THE WORD OF WISDOM through the Spirit, to another THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE through the same Spirit, 9 to another FAITH by the same Spirit, to another GIFTS OF HEALINGS by the same Spirit, 10 to another THE WORKING OF MIRACLES, to another PROPHECY, to another DISCERNING OF SPIRITS, to another DIFFERENT KINDS OF TONGUES, to another the INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES. 11 But one and the SAME SPIRIT WORKS ALL THESE THINGS, distributing to each one individually as He wills”

“But ye have an UNCTION from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” 1 John 2:20, 27.

“In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the purpose of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Saviour] would exist to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were STAMPED with the SEAL OF THE PROMISED Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the GUARANTEE [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-14 Amplified.

SUMMARY:

The message discusses the charismatic gifts given to believers in Christ Jesus, emphasising their purpose, classification, and operation.

Key Points:

Charismatic Gifts Defined: Charisma refers to the ability or synergy within that enables one to attract, charm, and influence others towards a given cause. It’s a divinely conferred power or talent to fulfil purpose in life and godliness.
Purpose of Charismatic Gifts: The gifts are given to edify (build up, mature, complete, and profit) believers in their respective callings and skills/talents.
Classification of Charismatic Gifts: The nine gifts can be classified into three categories:
a. Revelation Gifts: Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Discerning of Spirits
b. Power Gifts: Gift of Faith, Working of Miracles, Gifts of Healings
c. Inspirational Gifts: Prophecy, Interpretation of Tongues, Different Kinds of Tongues
Operation of Charismatic Gifts: The gifts are given to everyone severally by the Holy Spirit, as one earnestly desires their presence in one’s work and walk with God.
Importance of Character: The sustainability of charismatic gifts depends on the character exhibited by the believer. Spiritual Fruit (Character) of the Holy Spirit is essential to uphold integrity and etiquette.
Warning Against Misuse: Believers are warned against using charismatic gifts for personal gain, domination, or creating schisms, contentions, and disorders.

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY

March 21, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY: ANY PROPHECY MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS!

It’s time to wake up from your SLUMBERING and WANDERING desire to be seeking for a PROPHECY instead of seeking the Lord God of PROPHECY in Christ Jesus stead. And ENOUGH of that FOOLISHNESS, IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY.

You must come to know that no matter who DARES speak into your life – MAN OR ANGEL – any so-CALLED PROPHECY or PROPHETIC MESSAGE MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY of JESUS in your Life. Such message must of necessity align with these principles of grace: What Christ has DONE, What He is DOING in you, and what He will do THROUGH you in His WORD and His LOVE, by the blessed HOLY SPIRIT that’s given and living within you in the grace.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5/NKJV.

The Testimony of God in Christ Jesus is the only authentic, vital, and legal deed of God, wherein you have a better and done ACCESS, PROMISES, COVENANT, RELATIONSHIP, FELLOWSHIP, and such like in the grace. And that’s HOW TO MEASURE and DISCERN the TRUE and GENUINE spirit of PROPHECY. For the message of prophecy and prophetic message is to EDIFY, EXHORT, and COMFORT.

“But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue EDIFIETH himself; but he that PROPHESIETH EDIFIETH the church” 1 Corinthians 14:3-4.

Anything that contradicts the Holy Writ of 1 Corinthians 14:3-5, especially attracting FEAR and THREATENING in any form, is false – no matter who speaks or is speaking. For God is not the author of confusion. God wants you to be a Victor, not a victim. Let no one take you for granted, especially in your vulnerable moment. It’s not about the NOISE, but the WORD of God in graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

The Holy Scripture is graciously clear about the spirit of PROPHECY for the New Creation in Christ Jesus. It’s about the TESTIMONY of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in us. It must AFFIRM gracefully to the Holy Spirit WITHIN you by THE WORD in God’s love, and not intimidate or undermine your place in Christ Jesus’ stead.

“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:17.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

Godly inspired PROPHECY is about TESTIFYING, AFFIRMING, DECLARING and PROCLAIMING the TESTIMONY of our FAITH in what Jesus has done, is doing, and will do in your life by THE WORD and HOLY SPIRIT, which connotes EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT.

It thus means a GENUINE PROPHET with PROPHECY and PROPHESYING is one who graciously and gracefully ministers and speaks to people unto EDIFICATION, in order to promote their spiritual growth in wisdom, devotion, holiness, and joy of the Lord; it thus speaks also WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT to uphold and advise concerning matters of God; and it speaks WORDS OF CONSOLATION to compassionately comfort in all matters of LIFE and GODLINESS [Godly Living].

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the LAW among my disciples .19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:16, 19-20.

And in all these, it MUST be without acts of FEAR, THREAT, and GAINS. For God hasn’t given us a spirit of FEAR, THREAT, or INTIMIDATION [2 Timothy 1:7]. God’s perfect love in PROPHECY casts out every element of FEAR, TORMENT, CONFUSION, and SCHISM [1 John 4:17-18; 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; Ephesians 3:17-19]. There must be a profound SCRIPTURAL indication of genuine prophecy as in 1 Corinthians 14:2-4, that anyone can believe and must ever acclaim to possess, give, deliver, and receive from God. That’s the most gracious and graceful way to avoid and KEEP AT BAY false PROPHETS with FALSEHOODS, CUNNING, and CRAFTY PROPHECY out of your good life with their THREAT, FRIGHTENING, MADE-UP FEARS, and BONDAGES.

May I say emphatically that genuine PROPHETS and PROPHECIES should give others the opportunity to EXAMINE, that’s to JUDGE without being judgemental to ascertain the prophecy’s alignment with God and Scripture as expected in the light of scriptures. Otherwise, such is proud, arrogant and false [1 Corinthians 14:3-5, 29-33; 1 Corinthians 2:11-16; Isaiah 8:20; Revelation 19:10]. Know today that ANYTHING contrary is FRAUD, SORCERY and WITCHCRAFT [Acts 8:9-26].

Are you building your life on a so-called prophet’s Prophecy? Or relying on a recorded creed Prophetic book referenced to you? Please PAUSE and THINK scripturally about it before you act on it. God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit is still actively at work today as in Bible days and for your tomorrow. God’s WORD is the only authentic, authoritative, undiluted, and unadulterated prophecy that EXAMINES any so-called prophecy from any so-called Prophet or Prophetess, for your today and tomorrow’s VICTORY and TRIUMPH, irrespective of anything whatever. [Hebrews 13:8; Hebrews 4:12-13; Acts 17:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:15].

DON’T BE DECEIVED BY ANYONE OR ANY MATERIAL – READ THE WORD AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR SPIRIT BEING. FOR YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET FOR YOUR DEFINITION AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the LAW among my disciples. .19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:16, 19-20.

“For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and ALL MAY BE COMFORTED. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are SUBJECT to the prophets. 33 For God is NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . . 36 What? came the word of God out from you? Or came it unto you only? 37 If any man THINK himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the COMMANDMENTS of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40. Let all things be done DECENTLY and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:31-40.

YEAR 2026 – “TRIUMPHANT LIVING” PREPAREDNESS

January 3, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

YEAR 2026 – “TRIUMPHANT LIVING” PREPAREDNESS: BUILD YOUR YEAR 2026 FOUNDATION ON THE WORD AND NOT ON A MERE PROPHECY!

“So we have the PROPHETIC WORD made MORE CERTAIN [ASSURED]. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a LAMP SHINING in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWNS and light breaks through the GLOOM and the MORNING STAR ARISES in your hearts. 20 But understand this first of all, that NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE is a matter of or comes from ONE’S OWN [PERSONAL OR SPECIAL] interpretation, 21 for NO PROPHECY was ever MADE by an act of human will, but men MOVED by the Holy Spirit SPOKE from God” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Amplified.

I want to set you up in year 2026 “TRIUMPHANT LIVING” preparedness by saying this to you: YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET, HEAR YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE HEARING OTHERS. For you have the ASSURED WORD OF PROPHECY within your reach to enable you enact and authentic the genuine prophecy and prophesying within your reach in the grace in Christ Jesus as written in 2 Peter 1:19-21. More so, there’s the indwelling HOLY SPIRIT to help the born-again child of God in Christ Jesus to be able to ascertain, measure and examine all forms of the so-called PROPHECY/PROPHESYINGS that are making noise about your hearing ears [1 Corinthians 14:26-33]. And the scripture says as many that are LED, not necessarily about HAVING the Holy Spirit in their lives, ARE the Son’s of God. So, if the Holy Spirit is actively at work in our spirit faith-based being of God’s Word, then you can’t miss God’s lead and can’t fall to become a victim for any cash and carry prophecy and prophesying distributor at this time of the year. THINK ABOUT IT NOW!

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not RECEIVED the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have RECEIVED the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth WITNESS with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also GLORIFIED together” Romans 8:14-17.

The essence of TRIUMPHANT LIVING, always comes through a process otherwise it becomes a scamming and fraudulence act for the gains of an instant miracle, I mean instant magic, not forgetting that God does no instant magic, and miracles being performed of God, are consequences of His Word by the Holy Spirit that’s at work in and through our inner being in the grace. And by such working process of God, we can always diffuse God’s knowledge as fragrance in every place without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now THANKS be to God who ALWAYS LEADS [CAUSES] us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us DIFFUSES [SPREADS, REVEALS] THE FRAGRANCE of His KNOWLEDGE in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14/NKJV.

And you may want to ask, “Do I believe in Prophecy? Do I believe in Prophesying? Yeah, I do believe 100% in both prophecy and prophesying, but not in a WISHY-WASHY miracle- seeker. However, it DOES mean there’s more to prophecy and prophesying in the CONTEXT I’m making this assertion in you wanting to know what I think or believe on the subject, and on which I’m answering you. I don’t believe in a man-made make-up belief appeal to human sentiments and the extortion of people in their vulnerability for self-gratifications in order to make such so-called “Prophecy or Prophesying” to believe as authentic and genuine, when it’s all of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, and such like. I want you to know that there’s nothing wrong about prophecy and prophesying, but how we go about pursuing it outside the contexts of God’s Word, makes it a questionable context.

“QUENCH not the Spirit. 20 DESPISE NOT PROPHESYINGS. 21 PROVE ALL THINGS; hold fast that which is good” 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21.

“But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39 Wherefore, brethren, COVET TO PROPHESY, and FORBID not to speak with tongues. 40 Let ALL THINGS be done DECENTLY and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:38-40.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelations 19:10.

Taking notes of the three scriptures above that are drawn respectively from 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 14:38-40 and Revelation 19:10, the scriptures did admonish us of these:

Not to DESPISE Prophesying [Prophecy] – 1 Thessalonians 5:20 [19-21];
To endeavour to COVET to prophesy – 1 Corinthians 14:38-40.
And to know that a GENUINE prophecy and prophesying POINTS ALL to Christ Jesus and not to self or ego or status or whatever, and it’s irrespective too – Revelation 19:9-10.

And I can’t afford to break God’s WORD in this context. That’s why I can say that I believe in Prophecy and or Prophesying. For Prophecy or Prophesying, is one of the INSPIRATIONAL gifts of the Holy Spirit [1 Corinthians 12:10]. And the scripture admonishes that when we come together in fellowship, we should allow and let each Prophesy as gifted and as they are led by the Holy Spirit, while considering each other when giving prophecy and prophesying, to do it in decency, in order and not in schism [ which is division], not in confusion and not in discord. [1 Corinthians 14:26-33]. So, in the scriptural context, I do truly believe in Prophecy and Prophesying.

Another thing I want you to know full well that in the OLD TESTAMENT, the people weren’t BORN AGAIN and where not SPIRIT-FILLED too, to enable them to know God; and not only about knowing God, but to know of His leadership for themselves and to help them to examine and ascertain and measure out truth from fallacy; for lack of the above parameters, the formed OLD TESTAMENT CHURCH in the wilderness had to rely on the lead of God through the PROPHETS and PRIESTS and LEVITES and KINGS and others in use, for guidance on the various religious rites and ordinances; and more challenging for those of the OLD TESTAMENT, is the fact that there was no written writ guidance for God’s people to utilise, to examine [judge] in order to know the truth and what a genuine Prophesying and Prophecy could be. Their own basic information was only the God’s good and warning signals against the false prophets, who goes about saying what God had not commanded or ordered as in the scripture [Jeremiah 23:26-32; Deuteronomy 18:15-22; Deuteronomy 13:1-5].

Also, since God’s people had nothing to read or study to know for guidance and or to confirm anything for genuineness in terms of doing life and living godly, the bar was higher since such gifting wasn’t there to all; for the people of God in the Old Testament had to rely solely on the Prophet for the prophetic WORD from God, which sometimes, some of these seer Prophet’s took advantage of God’s people just as Balaam did and used it then as a means for covetousness, greed, extortion and with his false doctrine and faith perversions. [Numbers 22-24; 2 Peter 2:15-16; Jude 1:10-12; Revelation 2:14; Galatians 1:6-9].

Unlike the Old Testament, in the New CREATION Testament, there is now the WRITTEN Word and people who are BORN of God, meaning hearts recreated or circumcised, and who have the indwelling Holy Spirit living within them. These descriptions mentioned, helps, gives and enables the New Creation Testament Believer, which you are today, to know how to discern the good from the falsehoods. This is made possible by the Holy Spirit through available written word of God, to make all the difference without reservations and to help each of us in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. This is the how to check and detect any nonsense people do in the name of PROPHECY and PROPHESYING, except an individual believer gives the room to FALSEHOODS and the permission to be exploited ignorantly.

The above mentioned enabling in the New Creation Testament opportunities and possibilities wasn’t possible in the Old Testament where it only comes solely upon the Prophet for a moment in time of use, who were also not even born of God, hence doesn’t have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them to ascertain the wheat from the chaff [John 14:16-17; Romans 8:9-12; Jeremiah 23:28 (26-32)]. That’s why you need to know for yourself that you are in a better place today by God’s grace as a New Creation Believers of God in Christ Jesus stead; you are far better in advantage in such a time now that none can just lie or deceive you as God’s people when you yield totally and completely to the WORD that prevails over all by the leads of the Holy Spirit that dwells in you. [Acts 19:20; Acts 20:32; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Matthew 22:29; Hebrews 4:12-13; Hebrews 11:3].

It thus means that every New Creation Believers in Christ Jesus is a carrier of his or her own PROPHETIC WORD within the WORD of God. And your spiritual obligation in Christ Jesus, is to search out through the scripture like the Bereän Believer’s if any form of the Prophecy or Prophesying that comes to you are of the WORD of God [Acts 17:19-12]. The essence of searching is for your own self-discovery assertion and recovery by the indwelling Holy Spirit before saying an Amen.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED THE WORD WITH ALL READINESS OF MIND, AND SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

This act to search out is to say that by the WORD, you need to know on the how to be INSTRUCTED in order to affirm and confirm to any form of spoken prophecy and prophesying that comes to you irrespective of who, knowing that they are so many adulteration, distortion, perversions and false minister’s in the name of God, that are everywhere today. And by the Holy Spirit within you, which is working with our human intuitive spirit, we can know the truth by the WORD, in order to avoid errors and not to be misled and misguided; also, when it’s an external spoken Word of prophecy by WHOSOEVER, one can by the same process of the written WORD, be able to EXAMINE to make conclusion from such errors, as many have fallen into such craft today.

“How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29. Let the prophets speak two or three AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE [EXAMINE]. 30. If any thing be REVEALED to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all PROPHESY one by one, that all may learn, and all may be COMFORTED. 32 And the spirits of the PROPHETS ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROPHETS. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in ALL CHURCHES of the saints” 1 Corinthians 14:26-33.

And once the Holy Spirit within you ascertain that a PROPHETIC WORD is truth, definitely an inner PEACE is experienced accordingly without bondage, and that inner peace is the witnessing spirit within you that bears the witness that the prophecy or prophesying is of God; and if otherwise, there’s no inner peace and there are wars within you, you can then know it’s manipulation, craft, perversion, distortion, adulteration, and deceptiveness of man, tradition, and out of religious sentiments against God’s WORD. And it means that God is not in it and there’s no LIGHT in it and you MUST not WALK with it and on it, otherwise it’s darkness leading to bondage, torment, fear phobia, misguide and such like.

“Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us . . . 16 Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the law among my disciples . . . 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because THERE IS NO LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:10, 16, 20.

Every genuine WORD-BASED and FAITH-BASED messages must be carrying grace within the three classes categories of the spiritual gifts in the holy writ [1 Corinthians 12:7-11]. The message will be:

Inspiring

Revealing and

Empowering

And every one of the three classes of spiritual gifts: inspiring, revealing and empowering, will be WORD-BASED and FAITH-BASED messages that must reflect these three PROPHETIC Scriptural [1 Corinthians 14:3-5] ends, so that the prophecy or prophesying is of God; otherwise, it’s not God:

Edification

Exhortation, and

Comfort

And the WORD message must lead one toward TESTIFYING of Jesus Christ; for in Him all things consist of our REDEMPTION and toward Him should all Prophecy and prophesying be toward to confirm and affirm about all that pertains to life and godliness in respect of:

What He’s done FOR us

What He’s done IN us

What He’s doing IN us

What He’s doing WITH and THROUGH us by the Holy Spirit in the WORD as the pointer for all things.

It thus means, if any such so-called prophetic message is not to point to any of the things mentioned but to others in respect to – man, visioner, title, status, denomination dogma’s and such like, then run, I mean flee without hesitation. For we’ve seen many have been taken hold of these days religiously, and today, rather than of FAITH toward God and His Christ Jesus but to themselves and denominational bias. [Acts 20:20-21; Revelation 19:10; Hebrews 1:1-4; Hebrews 12:2; Luke 24:25-27, 44-45; John 1:45; Matthew 16:13-20; Matthew 22:41-46].

Therefore, to safeguard you in this Year 2026 and in this January 2026 starts up for other accompanying months, there’s the need to begin the year on the principle of PREPAREDNESS in order to enter graciously into the “TRIUMPHANT LIVING” in every place in Christ Jesus in the grace; having a faith-based and word-based preparedness, makes a gracious footing rather than waiting, seeking and pursuing after PROPHECY and PROPHESYING, otherwise and looking and seeking for someone to prophecy to you, in order to make you feel good and better. Beloved, ensuring the WORD as our principle hallmark foundation and fundamental stand in grace, will help one to PREVAIL and TRIUMPH and LIVE over all challenging times as you allow the WORD to work it out for you.

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. HIS GRACE IS ABLE TO BUILD YOU UP and to GIVE YOU the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are SET APART for God’s PURPOSE—all believers]” Acts 20:32/Amplified.

Blessed regards as I commend you to God in the grace, as you enact and authenticate YEAR 2026 theme of “TRIUMPHANT LIVING” with the act of PREPAREDNESS, which is the hallmark to help you build your YEAR 2026 world, on the WORD, as your foundation and fundamental in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead, and NOT ON A MERE PROPHECY!

AFD AUGUST 2025

August 1, 2025 By Pastor Chukie 1 Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH AUGUST 2025: THE MONTH IS ENTITLED – “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS” – IN THE GRACE!
“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:9-10.

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.

I want to specially WELCOME you by the scriptures of Revelation 19:9-10 and Philippians 2:16, to the DAWN of the eighth [8] month in the year of the Lord 2025; for the Month AUGUST – thus signify a NEW DAWN MONTH to share in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And the month AUGUST is entitled – Month of “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS* in the grace as we do life and live godly in Him.

The Month AUGUST, being the eight month of the year and thus represents a new beginning, is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long.

And it’s my earnest PRAYERS as we’ve turned into this month for us to hold unto that PRINCIPLE in the grace that will help and keep us to do life and live godly in the grace.

The name AUGUST thus creates an inspiring, revealing and empowering context of grace, as being sanctified – as to being set apart for uniqueness and class for – REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREME, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And with regards to the theme, it takes the holding forth the testimony of Jesus to ensure and be assured any in the grace to august, thus meaning, to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and such like.

And through the month AUGUST, I will be exploring on how we can hold forth the testimony of Jesus in every aspects of our doing life and living godly in thee grace. For it’s in our Holding forth the testimony of Jesus, that will can experience the genuine spirit of prophecy that’s unadulterated, uncompromising, unpolluted and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And it’s simply because in the grace, we have A MORE ASSURED WORD OF PROPHECY to ensure that we are assured of God’s BLESSEDNESS as it’s written:

And one major principles of HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS, is by HOLDING FORTH TO THE WORD OF LIFE in the grace unwaveringly as written:

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.

Therefore, in this Month AUGUST, I hope you will get yourself ready for the teaching ride on the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of God’s grace in Christ Jesus on what “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST” will results.

Welcome once again to the month AUGUST! And may you find a reason to ensure and assure yourself, that as you hold forth the testimony of Jesus you will experience the blessedness of grace in respects to being REVERED, be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and such like.

Be blessed in the grace as we explore the theme through the month in the grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:9-10.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 HOLDING THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:8-9.

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY

July 29, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY: ANY PROPHECY MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS!

It’s time to wake up from your SLUMBERING and WANDERING desire to be seeking for a PROPHECY instead of seeking for the Lord God of PROPHECY in Christ Jesus stead. And ENOUGH of that FOOLISHNESS, IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY. You must come to know that no matter who DARE speaks into your life as a MAN OR ANGEL and such like, on THAT so called and acclaimed PROPHECY or PROPHETIC MESSAGE, MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY of JESUS in your Life – What Christ has DONE, is DOING and will do THROUGH you in His Word by the blessed Holy Spirit that’s given and living within you. The Testimony of God in Christ Jesus wherein you have a better and done – ACCESS, PROMISE, COVENANT, RELATIONSHIP, FELLOWSHIP and such like. That’s the HOW TO MEASURE and SECTION the TRUE and GENUINE spirit of PROPHECY. For the message is to EDIFY, EXHORT And COMFORT. Anything else especially attracting FEAR and THREATS in all its ramifications is false and falsehood no matter who speaks or is speaking. Be a Victor and not a victim especially in your vulnerable moment. It’s not about the NOISE but the WORD of God in graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, OR AN ANGEL from heaven, PREACH (PROPHESY) any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH (PROPHESY) any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9/Emphasis Mine.

The Holy Scripture is graciously clear about the spirit of PROPHECY for the New Creation in Christ Jesus. It’s about the TESTIMONY of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in us. It must AFFIRM gracefully to the Holy Spirit WITHIN you by THE WORD in God’s love and not to intimidate and undermine your place in Christ Jesus stead.

“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:17.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

Godly inspired PROPHECY is about TESTIFYING, AFFIRMING, DECLARING and PROCLAIMING the TESTIMONY of our FAITH on what Jesus has done, is doing and will do in your life by THE WORD and HOLY SPIRIT, which connotes EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT.

It thus means that a GENUINE PROPHET with PROPHECY and is PROPHESYING is the one that graciously and gracefully ministers and speaks to people unto EDIFICATION in order to promote their spiritual growth in wisdom, devotion, holiness and joy of the Lord; he speaks also WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT to uphold and advise concerning the matters of God; and he speaks WORDS OF CONSOLATION to compassionately comfort in all matters of LIFE and GODLINESS (Godly Living).

And in all these, it MUST be without acts of FEAR and THREAT and GAINS. For God has not given us the spirit of FEAR, THREAT and INTIMIDATION [2 Timothy 1:7]. And God’s perfect love of Christ in PROPHECY cast out every element of FEAR and TORMENT and CONFUSION and SCHISM [1 John 4:17-18; 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; Ephesians 3:17-19]. There must be a profound SCRIPTURAL indication of genuine prophecy as in 1 Corinthians 14:2-4, that any can believe upon and must be ever acclaimed to possess, give, deliver and receive of God. And that’s the most gracious and graceful way to avoid and KEEP AT BAY the false PROPHETS with FALSEHOODS, CUNNING and CRAFTY PROPHECIES out of your good life with their THREAT, FRIGHTENING, MADE UP FEARS and BONDAGES.

May I say emphatically that genuine PROPHETS and PROPHECIES should give others the opportunity to EXAMINE, that is, to JUDGE without being judgemental to ascertain that the prophecy acclaimed by them is of God and Scriptural as expected in the light of the scriptures otherwise such is proud, arrogant and false [1 Corinthians 14:3-5, 29-33; 1 Corinthians 2:11-16; Isaiah 8:20; Revelation 19:10]. Know today that ANYTHING contrary is FRAUD, SORCERY and WITCHCRAFT [Acts 8:9-26].

Are you building your life on just the Prophet’s Prophecy? Or a Prophetic book referenced to you? Please pause and think scripturally about it before you act on it. God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit is still actively at work today as in the Bible days and for your tomorrow. God’s WORD is the only authentic, authoritative, undiluted and unadulterated prophecy that EXAMINES any so-called prophecy from any so call Prophet or Prophetess, for your today and tomorrow’s VICTORY and TRIUMPH, irrespective of anything whatsoever. [Hebrews 13:8; Hebrews 4:12-13; Acts 17:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:15].

DON’T BE DELUDED BY ANYONE OR ANY MATERIAL – READ THE WORD AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR SPIRIT BEING FOR YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET FOR YOUR DEFINITION AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And they OVERCAME and CONQUERED him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death” Revelation 12:11/Amplified.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

July 29, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To the OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices, they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGERS with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredits the essence of PROPHETS and the PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same meaning, are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister to God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT; in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God doesn’t leave His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfil His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, THE RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass through any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results in EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by the WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seem to be EXAMINED indicates them to be erroneous, ignorant, proud, rude, self-egoistic and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHETS or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of being not an ardent searcher of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practiced, because they are unbiblical and unscriptural, they result to FORTUNE TELLING (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims to and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT’S PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, AS UNTO A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in OLD TIME by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

Further Scriptural Reading: Ephesians 4:7-16; Revelation 19:10; Isaiah 8:20. Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 10:23. 1 Corinthians 14:36-40. 1 John 4:1-3. 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; 1 Corinthians 14:2-4; Joel 2:28-29; John 7:37-39; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Romans 8:14-16, 26-27; Ezekiel 11:19-20; Ezekiel 36:26-27.
