The Role of Prophets in the Healing of the Nations 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana  Charles-Iyoha

A prophet is someone raised by God usually from among His people to speak His mind, His words which He gives to the prophet to His people. A prophet then is God’s spokesperson for the people of

God. No one takes this honor for himself as prophets and prophetesses are usually ordained into the ministry office of the prophet by God – Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 5, 1^st Kings Chapter 19 verses 16, 19 to 21, Amos Chapter 7 verses 12 to 17, Haggai Chapter 1 verses 12 to 13, Zechariah Chapter 1 verse 17, Amos Chapter 3 verse 7, Deuteronomy Chapter 18 verses 10 to 22.  Prophets proclaim the mind of God through the written word in the Bible which the Holy Spirit sheds light on and then God who says that His word must accomplish whatever the Word is sent to accomplish acts on that word to produce the desired results. This is what prophecy and functioning in the ministry office of the prophet is.

A Prophet is a vessel used by God to provide solutions to personal, family, local, national and global challenges depending on where God assigns him or her to. Elijah solved the national challenge of idolatry and famine by giving the people direction to turn to God and be saved. Elisha solved ministry challenges for the prophets when he retrieved the lost ax in 2^nd Kings Chapter 6 verses 1 to 7.  Who is a prophet? Acts Chapter 15 verses 32. God works in partnership with His servants the prophets. Prophets are the servants of God that He reveals His secrets to before doing anything. Amos Chapter 3 verse 7, Genesis Chapter 18 verses 17 to 33, Acts Chapter 11 verses 27 to 30.

God is the one who raises prophets - people do not wake up to declare themselves prophets. They have to be ordained by God - Deuteronomy Chapter 18 verses 15 to 18, Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 5. Prophets speak by the Spirit of God the words which God puts in their hearts and mouths. Deuteronomy Chapter 18 verse 18, Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 9. Prophets are to say exactly what God wants them to say - Deuteronomy Chapter 18 verse 18, Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 7.

The Role of Young People in Healing the Nations

God raised David at a time that Goliath had inflicted terrible damages in the national army of Israel. Through the use of words, the strife of tongues, words that intimidate to terrify and immobilize coupled with a terrifying stature, Goliath succeeded in bringing a very heavily mobilized army to inaction.  He used fear encoded in his choice of words to immobilize the army of God. For forty days and forty nights, the national army of Israel experienced unnecessary terror, humiliation at the hands of Goliath until David heard those words. The Spirit of God in David moved David to challenge the opposition and intimidation. Significantly, it was a battle of words as both Goliath and David used words. But David used words anointed by God (where the word of a King is, there is power). As David released the words by the Spirit of God, the power of God accompanied the words and in no time, Goliath in spite of his intimidating physical stature, military expertise, experience and prowess was brought down by David.

Esther was a very young woman when she was suddenly tasked with the responsibility of interceding for the safety of the Jews. Haman had passed a death sentence on the Jews and going by the irreversible laws of the Persians and the Medes, Esther’s task was a tall dream. But Esther went to God and God used her tremendously. Though the laws were not reversed, Haman was killed, the Jews were empowered with a new set of laws to fight back and fight back they did and killed all their enemies. Also, Mordecai, a gateman whom Haman thought was beneath him to kill alone and therefore decided to kill all the Jews became the number two man in the kingdom. Beloved, the Jewish nation was spared and healed of the satanic plot to eliminate the Jews through the Holy Spirit guided actions of Esther.

The Gift of Mothers

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Mary – discreet, humble and faithful

Loved and served God

Favored by God

Carried Jesus in her womb

Jochebed – discreet and nurturing

Hid Moses, put him in the River

Raised Aaron and Miriam

Used by God to raise three national leaders in Israel

Hannah – trusted in God

Prayed and vowed

Redeemed her vow

And blessed Israel with Prophet Samuel

King Lemuel’s mother,

An exceptional mother

Godly view and understanding of kingship

Instructed her son

To rule in the fear of God and be a blessing to humanity

How about Lois, the grandmother of Timothy

Generational transfer of the gospel to

Eunice, the mother of Timothy

And the mother of John Mark

Gave up her home and time

For prayers for the Church

Peter was spared untimely death

John Mark served with the Apostle Paul

And YOU

Do you know God?

Love Him, believe Him and trust Him?

So that your child is a blessing to humanity?

Happy Mother’s day.
