Traits Of A True Forecaster In Christian Prophetic Ministries

By Frances Turner


Christianity is very difficult. It needs much commitment from people. That is why there should be special groups which can tell the followers about the revelations from God. Those who can rely on the gifts of prophecy form Christian Prophetic Ministries which should aim at guiding the churches to maturity. These ministries began long ago as it is seen in the Old Testament. Nowadays, there are those posing to be fortunetellers but are not. The following are the traits of true forecasters.

Holy Spirit is their guide to all things they do and talk. They have power from it and thus, can do great things which other people cannot. It is evident that when one lacks such Spirit will not see unseen things or relate well to God. Thus, they surrender everything to Him to direct as it pleases Him.

They obey Almighty in everything. These individuals are not just like any other person. And even their ministries are entirely different from the rest. Since they give the message to people which Divinity has seen it better for them to know, their holiness is very high. Through the obedience, they can never fail like those who might disobey Him at times. Therefore, compliance is a major characteristic expected of them.

The other but most necessary characteristic as well as their ability and timely request for forgiveness of the wrong deeds. Having a good relationship with Him can make one see great things, which they had never seen. That is a motivating factor for them to continuing having peace with Deity for Him to keep on showing them visions and such like things. Repenting and coming back to him is essential.

The prophets have learned to be patient, and indeed they exercise it. This aspect is very significant because their work demands a high level of it. When they pray, they have to wait for the answers from the Supreme Being. This can take long, and that is one of the major reasons why some fail and drop from this task. It needs only those who are committed to Him.

Humility is also crucial for the seers. Many of them have failed in this work just because of pride. The most significant threat to visionary tasks is vanity. For those that Lord intends to use to speak for Him will establish a high humility in their lives. Therefore, this attribute can tell who is a real forecaster.

Compassionate must also be their quality. Some people might have considered the fortunetellers in the Old Testament as harsh and rigid persons. But that was not the case. The love of God for His people cannot be spoken in a rude way but instead in love. Even if the message is hard, they have to talk with consideration.

In conclusion, truth and honesty are aspects making them trustworthy. This characteristic plays a vital role because people could not waste their precious time to listen to fore-tellers who are not focused and their messages cannot be trusted. Therefore, they must make persons believe them through being honest all around.
