Introduction

Prophecy is the unveiling of God’s plan and purpose for a nation, a people or an individual – Deut. 18:21-22/ Ezk. 12:25
Scripturally, there are 2 main sources of prophecy:
First, from scriptures, which is said to be a more sure word of prophecy – 2 Pet. 1:19-21/ Psa. 89:34
Secondly, from prophets sent our way – Luk. 4:25-27/ Mat. 10:41/ Deut. 18:21-22
But we have a responsibility to know what it takes to experience fulfilment of prophecy, and this is what informs our teaching series for the month – Isa. 5:1-13

What are Prophecies?

Prophecies are not religious wishes but the unfolding of divine plan – Josh. 21:45
Prophecies are not psychological permutations; they are sworn verdicts – Isa. 14:24
Because God speaks according to Himself, not according to us – Gen. 22:17-18/ Isa. 14:24

But until a prophetic Word is received, it never gets fulfilled – 2 Pet. 1:19-21/ Luk. 8:11/15/ Mak. 4:30-32

Every prophetic word received ignites hope – Rom. 4:18/ Rom. 15:4
Every prophetic word received stimulates joy and rejoicing – Jer. 15:16/ Psa. 119:162

Abraham, an example of prophecy fulfilled through praise

A prophetic Word went forth to Abraham concerning the birth of his son of promise – Gen. 17:4-8/ Gen. 18:9-14
But Abraham had to engage the mystery of praise to see this prophecy fulfilled – Rom. 4:16-20
God fulfilled His Word to Abraham by visiting Sarah as He has said – Gen. 21:1-6

To see prophecies fulfilled, we must remain strong in faith, giving glory to God like Abraham did – Rom. 4:19-21
