TITLE: MY PROPHECY SHALL COME TO PASS
By Rev. Samuel Arimoro
Main Text: Ezekiel 12:25
Supporting Texts: Numbers 23:19, Isaiah 55:10-11
INTRODUCTION
Every believer has received a prophecy, a promise from God that speaks to their future and purpose. Prophecies are powerful declarations that can shape our lives and destinies. However, the journey from receiving a prophecy to seeing it fulfilled can be fraught with challenges. Today, we will explore the importance of holding onto our prophecies, understanding God's timing, and declaring that our prophecies shall come to pass.
1. THE POWER OF PROPHECY
a) Understanding Prophecy
Prophecy is not just a prediction; it is the word of God revealed to guide, inspire, and direct us. In Numbers 23:19, we are reminded that God is not a man that He should lie; His words are true and trustworthy.
b) Biblical Examples of Prophetic Fulfillment
The life of Joseph is a prime example of the power of prophecy. He received dreams that foretold his future greatness (Genesis 37), yet he faced numerous trials before seeing those dreams fulfilled.
Biblical Example: The Prophecy of Jesus' Birth
Isaiah 9:6-7 foretold the coming of the Messiah. Despite centuries passing, Jesus' birth was the perfect fulfillment of God’s prophetic word.
2. OVERCOMING OBSTACLES TO FULFILLMENT
a) The Reality of Delays
Often, we encounter delays and obstacles that can cause us to doubt our prophecies. In Ezekiel 12:25, God reassures us that He will perform what He has spoken, regardless of the challenges we face.
b) Staying Faithful in the Waiting
We must remain faithful during times of waiting. Our attitude and response to the delay can either hinder or facilitate the fulfillment of our prophecies.
Biblical Example: Abraham’s Journey
Abraham received the promise of a son (Genesis 15), but he had to wait many years before Isaac was born. His faithfulness in the waiting period exemplifies how to trust God's timing.
3. DECLARING YOUR PROPHECY
a) The Importance of Declaration
Isaiah 55:10-11 emphasises that God's word will not return void but will accomplish what He desires. We are called to declare our prophecies, aligning our words with God’s promises.
b) Confessing with Faith
Our declarations should reflect our belief in the prophecy's fulfillment. Speaking life and positivity into our situations can change the atmosphere around us.
Biblical Example: Ezekiel and the Valley of Dry Bones (Ezekiel 37)
Ezekiel was instructed to prophesy to the dry bones, and as he did, they came to life. This illustrates the power of declaring God’s promises over our lives.
4. EMBRACING THE FULFILLMENT
a) Preparing for the Prophecy
When we believe our prophecy shall come to pass, we must prepare ourselves to receive it. This includes spiritual, emotional, and practical readiness.
b) Walking in Expectation
Faith is essential as we await the manifestation of our prophecies. Expectation opens the door for God's miracles and provisions in our lives.
Biblical Example: The Woman with the Issue of Blood (Mark 5:25-34)
She had faith that touching Jesus' garment would heal her. Her expectation led to her healing and restoration.
CONCLUSION
As believers, we must hold fast to the prophecies spoken over our lives, trusting that they shall come to pass. Regardless of the obstacles we face, we can declare with confidence that God's word is true. Let us prepare our hearts and lives to embrace the fulfillment of God’s promises.
