Hi Guys,
Today I would like to share and release a prophetic word and a teaching around it.
Last night as I was having a time of prayer with one of our pastors, the Lord Spoke to me and said, ‘7 years of plenty’! These words released two emotions in my spirit which were excitement and intrigue. This word seemed so impossible in a time like we are in, but our Lord is the God of making impossibles possible. So I inquired further on these words with the Lord. He continued with “for those who use this time wisely, those who believe and trust in Him and the word, when they leave this season and enter into the next”. These people will be the ones who will receive 7 years of plenty.
The Lord is a God that never wastes anything, fish and loaves, situations and circumstance or even time. So even in isolation He has given us innovation, imagination and I believe He is going to pour out dreams and visions to those who ask and are open to receive. ( Isaiah 44:3,Joel 2:28 and Acts 44:3) This can be the most productive time of your life or the opposite, it is your choice. After all our God is a God of invitation not dictation.
So what are some way we can do this ?
1. With all prophetic words, we know the importance of the need to weight and sifted to see the relevance and truth. This a great place to start. Thessalonians 5:19-21 (Passion Translation NT) 19 Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit. 20 And don’t be one who scorns prophecies, 21 but be faithful to examine them by putting them to the test, and afterward hold tightly to what has proven to be right.
2. Remember a prophecy is both forward telling and forth-telling. It introduces you into a possibility and provides a invitation to step into seeing it happen. But this takes a decision and action that is called faith. Hebrew 11:1
3. Prophetic words ( words of God )have everything with in the word to see it come to pass. When the angle gave the word to Mary and she believed conception took place. Luke 1:37 (NKJV) 37 For with God nothing will be impossible.” ( This verse can be interpreted as: Every word that’s proceeds from God contains everything with in it to see it come to pass). But this will only be usefull if you believe.
4. Start sowing seeds both finically and spend time investing in your future, up skilling, planning with God,personally and in your business. 2 Corinthians 9:6 (NKJV) But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
2 Corinthians 9:8 (NKJV) 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
5. Finally prepare for re entry ! Both in heart, mind and spiritually. This will take faith, action and preparation so start working on this now as when you start you will not have time for this.
(Joshua 1:3-7) This what the Lord did with Joshua before he embark into His new future.
Father I thank you for your promise for life in abundance. I ask for wisdom and revelation to be release on your people to show them
how to plant, trust and believe for the mighty harvest to come. Amen
