MAY 16TH
TEXT: Hosea 12:13 King James Version (KJV)
13. And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of
Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
2 Chronicles 20:20 King James Version (KJV)
20. And they
rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as
they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye
inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be
established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
A careful look
at the scriptures for today will reveal to you that your establishment is tied
to your believe in God, but your prosperity is tied to the prophet you honour.
When you honour a prophet of God you activate the supernatural that stirs up
others to also honour you. Jesus said he who gives to a prophet in the name of
a prophet will get a prophet’s reward.
Beloved, please realise that if this principles I am
sharing with you are from God then there is no way you can ignore them and get
the result meant for those who obey. It remains a proven fact that God is no
respecter of anybody, and that is why when those who are not Christians obey
the principles in the word of God, it works for them.
Many of us know that as at present, the richest man in
Africa and one of the richest in the world is Aliko Dangote. He does not speak
in tongues like many fire brand Christians do, but at a point in his life he
was careful to honour the servants of God and he his prosperity today is a
confirmation of the reward of that honour he gave to Arch Bishop Benson
Idahosa, Dr T L Osborn and his wife. It was said that Dr T L Osborn and his
wife had arrived late at the airport when the flight from Benin to Lagos was
already full and no one was willing to give away their seat for them to travel
with that plane to Lagos so they can catch their flight back to the US that
night.
It was said that after much appeal from Arch Bishop
Idahosa, it was Aliko Dangote and his assistant who stood up to give away their
seats. In response to that the Arch Bishop said something like, “Wherever you
go, nations will stand for you”. Today, nations are literally standing for him
because a prophet of God said so.
When the widow of Zarephath honoured Elijah the man of
God, she terminated the power of lack and all through the famine of three and
half years her oil did not run dry nor the flour. She had a miraculous provision
(1 Kings 17:10-16).
When the Shunammite woman and her husband honoured
Elisha the prophet of God, an hopeless case of barrenness was terminated and she was blessed with a child within a year time (2 Kings 4:8-17).
There are blessings you cannot know until you activate
the blessing that comes from honouring God’s servants. You can have your lost
hopes and dreams restored in an amazing ways if you will obey God to do the
unusual.
