A Sure Word!

Recently, my sister shared with me, the story of how she and her sister-in-law went to one of Pastor Ashimolowo's program and right in the midst of prayer ministration, her sister-in-law was 'handpicked' out of the crowd by the man of God and a direct word that addressed her EXACT situation was delivered to her. My sister told me she always knew Pastor Matthew as a teacher of the word but that day, she saw another dimension of the ministry gift he operates. Surely, the recipient of the word knew for a certainty that her case was signed, sealed, and delivered, and as surely as the Lord lives, the word that came at that point in time found speedy expression for whom it was meant.

Some of us might have had this awesome experience and many have loved ones who have experienced such or we get to read about it all the time. It is not totally incorrect to assume that many of us who have heard of or seen such experience happening to others long for same. We might muse and say, "What could be better than having the solution to my challenge delivered to me on such platter of gold?" In fact, this rationale could very well be at the root of some individuals' run from pillar to post, seeking similar out-of-the-world experience.

It is absolutely good to wait on prophecy from the mouth of God's servants but do you know that there is a MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY? 2 Peter 1:19-21 (NKJV-emphasis mine) says,
19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no PROPHECY of SCRIPTURE is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Hear, hear! What we have on the pages of the Bible are prophecies and Peter indicated that these prophecies are SURER because they were penned under the Holy Spirit's inspiration. Wow! Indeed, God can send a word of prophecy that addresses your need through a man of God and if He does, glory to God. However, if it doesn't happen that way, don't despair. You have the Bible and that simply means you have access to a more sure word of prophecy - what else should you be looking for? All you need do is delve and dig into the scriptures to find that particular prophecy that has been written concerning you, and run with it. The pages of the Bible are filled with God's promises to you. You need to find the one that addresses your situation and cling tightly to it. Catch a more sure word of prophecy from scriptures, receive it, believe it, and let the assurance settle deep within you that the solution you desire is signed, sealed, and delivered!

Shalom!
