Call UsDesire To Prophesy – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 5th
(Use The Gift Of Prophecy To Bless The Church)
TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 14:31 NIV
“For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.”
LET’S TALK
To prophesy means to speak words of divine revelation and potency, words that have and give life.
And through the gift of prophecy, the Body of Christ—the Church, that’s you, me, and our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus—is edified, strengthened, and comforted.
Perhaps you’re in your room at home or on your way to school, and words in Psalm 23 well up from within you, and then you go, “Psalm 23 verse 1 says, ‘The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want’; therefore, I’m nourished, sustained, energised, strengthened, and prepared for His soon return through the ministry of the Word! I’m invigorated and vitalised through and through because He nourishes me.” With such words, you are edified. Hallelujah!
That’s why the Bible says, “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy” (1 Corinthians 14:1).
Through the gift of prophecy, we can also admonish one another and strengthen one another. 1 Corinthians 14:31 says, “For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.”
Now, this isn’t the same thing as everyone being in the prophetic office. He didn’t say we may all desire to be prophets; rather, it says that every one of us can and should desire to prophesy.
Acts 2:17 NIV says, “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
You can use the gift of prophecy to take charge of your life and control things in your “aion.” You can chart your course in perpetual victory and triumph through the gift of prophecy.
You can also prophesy about the peace and prosperity of your nation and the nations of the world. Prophesy about your family life, health, success, prosperity, and victory.
Prophesy about your life and about your future. Prophesy to your whole body—your cells, bones, skin, blood—and everything else including your finances, academics, etc.

I am nurtured, edified, and sustained in the victorious life. I walk in divine health and prosperity; I walk in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel. My life is upward and forward only, and I am filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Amen.
