The End of Prophecy

The end of prophecy is such that it must be fulfilled or experienced. It is sad that many receive prophecies that they live not to experience or see coming to pass. That’s a very bad thing, but luckily God has put a countermeasure to ensure that it doesn’t happen.

In Malachi 3, God says when you tithe, He will rebuke the devourer for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field. Your vine dropping its fruit before its time is more like a miscarriage and it has many forms one of which is you not seeing the end of a specific prophecy over your life.

May your vine not cast its fruit before the time of the field. May it not fall until harvest. That indeed if seedtime and harvest shall continue on earth, then may the prophecies continue to be sown in your life, and may you see the fulfilment of each (harvest)

In John 1:15, John writes that John the Baptist bore witness of Jesus, and cried, saying, “This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.”

This simply shows that John prophesied of the coming of the Messiah, and He saw Him literally. He touched Him, felt Him, baptised Him & experienced Him. O may you as well touch, feel, and experience every good prophecy concerning you!

Yes, prophecies can be bad, like that one time Hezekiah the King was told he was to die anytime by Isaiah. Hezekiah nullified it by prayer. Nullify any that you might not like. God’s thoughts and plans toward you are of peace and not of evil! That’s why you should not accept any threatening prophecy.

In case prophecies or predictions come your way, like dying of sickness or dying early, counter them by the sure word of prophecy written by God. Declare that He preserves you from all evil (Psalm 121), declare that with long life He has satisfied you (Psa 91:16), declare that He’ll keep you from the plague and noisome pestilence (Psa 91:6,10).

Remember every good word God prophesied over you. Know that its end is to be fulfilled by your experience of it. If He said He ordained you a prophet to the nations before you were formed in your mother’s womb, then there must be nations you know of that He’s called you to. If He said He set you over nations and kingdoms to uproot (pull down) and destroy … Or to build and plant, then you must have an idea of what you are meant to destroy or plant in certain nations or kingdoms. If you have no idea of what you’re meant to uproot or destroy, then you’re far from living this prophecy.

If God said kings would come to your rising and nations to your light, then you have to have some sort of kingly personalities approaching you already. If you can’t mention any person who seems to have so much at his disposal bend to come before you, then you must put a demand on that prophecy; you have to LIVE it!

If God said He’d open up the windows of heaven to pour out a blessing so vast you wouldn’t have room enough to contain it, and you have never been overwhelmed by the amount of clothes, money, blessing, or favor that you’ve been receiving, then I wonder if you really are living it!

If God said you’d heal the sick, or perform signs and wonders, but you can’t recall any healing or wonder that was sparked by you, then you have to perform a further audit, and carry a consciousness that these things are meant to be LIVED by you. I will never forget when I prayed with a friend whose baby was in breach! Within a few hours, I received news of a miracle. A procedure was to be taken by her to forcefully turn the baby in her womb, but … the child turned all by himself in her womb as I had declared and as she had believed!

If God said you should lend to nations, and you have never lent or given money to as close as your siblings, then you have to revisit your capacity and re-echo what God promised you’d do.

All in all, understand that for every prophecy, there has to be tell-tell signs of it’s fulfilment. If a lady is carrying child, there’s a sign of a burgeoning ‘stomach’. If a man desires to marry a woman, for the Jews there used to be a betrothal, and today, he gives her an engagement ring as a promise that he was coming to take her home!

‘If God did not spare His only son Jesus Christ but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not freely give us all things’ is a scriptural sign from Romans 8 to show that God would give us the desires of our hearts as David proclaimed in Psalm 21, verse 2!

I pray for you, that you will live to the end of all good prophecy in your life—which is the experience and basking of yourself in the fulfilment of each spoken word describing what you ought to be, and do!

Just like Mary experienced receiving a child yet she was a virgin as foretold by Gabriel, may you experience the good prophecy over you. Just like Anna and Simeon never died until they saw the savior Jesus at the temple, may you never smell your death bed until you can ably say you’ve tasted and enjoyed to the full, every good promise and lovely gift God assured to you.

Acts 2:17-18 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
