PROPHETIC SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

“Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe HIS PROPHETS, and you shall PROSPER” – 2 Chronicles 20:20b

Scriptures amply testify to many instances of PROPHETIC SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES. God isn’t just into “provision”; He is into SUPPLIES – flows and overflows: “Blessed be the Lord, Who DAILY LOADS US with benefits, the God of our salvation!” (Psa.68:19). He isn’t in the class of humans. He speaks according to Himself, not according to human measures. God declares His Word according to His divine abilities and greatness, not our inabilities, limitations, and smallness. Every Word from God is a sworn verdict that’s already settled in heaven and cannot be altered. God does not look for solutions, He creates them. God creates whatever He says. When darkness was pervading the then creation, God didn’t struggle with the darkness, He simply spoke “Light” into creation (Gen.1:2-3). God doesn’t strive to supply any needs in creation, He simply commands His inexhaustible resources into manifestation, without ever diminishing in essence or worth.

Supernatural Supplies answer to God’s Prophetic Word. Prophets are God’s Spokespersons through whom He unveils and unfolds His purposes and plans. The Prophetic is God’s chief medium of supernatural intervention in the affairs of humanity. When God’s people believe His Prophetic Word, we simply commit Him to perform the Word in our lives. Scriptures reveal that Prophetic vessels are the custodians of divine Vision, and God’s Agency of deliverance and order, breakthrough, restoration and preservation, prosperity, and divine rewards. Prophets are Vision-carriers through whom God’s agenda is unveiled from time to time: “I have also spoken by the prophets, and have multiplied visions; I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets” (Hos.12:11).

Prophets are agents of deliverance and order, as underscored in the landmark ministry of Moses in the liberation of Israel (Exo.3:10). Prophets are breakthrough agents and barrier breakers to enhance God’s work (Ezra 5:1-2). They are agents of restoration and preservation: “By a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved” (Hos.12:14). Prophets are also agents of prosperity: “Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper” (2Chr.20:20b). This connotes abundance and supernatural supply. The prophetic also connects us with divine rewards: “He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward” (Mt.10:41).

Moses’ prophetic ministry delivered Israel from Egypt and ushered God’s people into a land flowing with milk and honey (Exo.3:8; Dt.26:9). Elijah’s prophetic ministry brought divine supplies and prosperity to the widow of Zarephath. As a result, she flourished in the midst of famine while others were famished (1Kgs.17:8-16). Elisha’s prophetic ministry secured the destiny and social status and elevated the financial fortune of the widow of a prophet whose creditors came to claim her two sons (2Kgs.4:1-7). Elisha’s prophetic Word was also instrumental in breaking the siege of the Syrians from off Samaria and transforming the dire economic gloom to boom – overnight (2Kgs.7:1-20). The latter story reveals the two-edged nature of the Prophetic Word: those who believed enjoyed divine supplies, but the doubter ended up trampled in the gate (v.20).

Through the Prophetic Ministry of Jesus, a lad’s five loaves of bread and two fish were supernaturally multiplied to feed thousands of people, with ample left-overs (Jh.6:5-14). Verse 14 says, “Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the PROPHET who is come into the world.” By the Prophetic, God often opens new chapters in the lives of His people. He is committed to His Word, and all He has spoken to us and into our lives is already created! But we must take delivery of them by faith – believing absolutely, resolutely, unreservedly and unashamedly. The Lord is committed to performing His Prophetic Word: “Who confirms the word of His servant, and PERFOMS the counsel of His messengers; Who says to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be inhabited,’ to the cities of Judah, ‘You shall be built,’ and I will raise up her waste places” (Isa.44:26).
