Are you living as a holy prophet?
Perceive: A prophet is a mediator between God and men. He is God’s spokesman relaying what he hears and sees in visions or dreams. A priest is a mediator that represents the people to God. He intercedes on the Lord’s behalf of His people. A king is a mediator of God’s judicial and executive power as he rules in the name of Jehovah. In this section of Scripture, we see Saul speaking God’s words as the Holy Spirit impacts his life. While God may tell a prophet to speak about an event, He is more concerned with a prophet instructing and inspiring the people to live in faithfulness.
Practice: As a Christian man, you are to act as a godly prophet by speaking the truth of Scripture to those in your sphere of influence. All God's men have the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:18), and can freely share a message of sin, salvation, wrath, and grace (1 Corinthians 15:1-2). They can expound God’s truth as revealed (2 Timothy 4:2), and desire prophetic truth through learning and grow in the Scriptures (1Corinthians 14:1). Do you spend daily time reading and listening to the Lord?
Pray: Lord, forgive me for all the times I have failed to speak Your word of truth. Help me to be faithful in delivering the message of hope and forgiveness as well as to warn of the consequences of rejecting who You are. You are Lord, and as reigning Lord, You offer the gift of eternal life to all who truly repent and receive You as Lord of their life. Help me speak this truth daily.
