There are three stages in the prophetic realm that governs you life as the Lord God draws you closer to the fullness of your spiritual destiny.

1st: The prophetic that comes to confirm.

These are prophetic spoken words that are spoken concerning someone’s life. These words also could be confirmation to what God has already said to you about His will in your life.

This source of information of confirmation could come to you from people who believe, spiritual leaders and even non believers, which do not even believe in God.

When God establishes His word in heaven concerning your life about a particular thing that He wants you to do, He will also use anybody’s life, believer or non believer to confirm it, so that he may be able to push you into that place of obedience.

2nd: The prophetic that brings breakthrough in within a season.

In this realm of prophecy, God will use different spiritual leaders (apostles, prophets, teaches, rabbis, pastors, evangelists etc…) to meet your spiritual need at that particular spiritual junction that you are in, and sometimes this will stretch out for a period of time (season) in ones life depending on the spiritual maturity, spiritual need or spiritual understanding that this individual find himself in.

For example; you are really called to be an apostle or prophet, but at the moment you have just confessed Yeshua (Jesus) as your Lord and savior in your life, and at this point God will use a pastoral anointing (church) to guide you into the things of God.

As you are growing in the spiritual things of God, the Lord will also use other ministries (anointing) to meet your spiritual needs, as you also covenant with these other ministries too.

You should also remember that your pastor in your church could be only anointed to teach you, but lacking these other anointings of deliverance, healing, financial breakthrough etc…. so you need these other men and women of God to fulfil that spiritual need in your life, as you allow the Holy Spirit to playfully lead you to which ministry the Lord wants you to covenant with.

 And the other sad thing (towards your pastor), is that you could be in his church just for a certain given season , after you have obediently served in that church or ministry, God may take you from that church to the next step of your spiritual journey.

3rd: The prophetic that imparts your prophetic mantle (spiritual covering)

On this level of spiritual maturity, God’s predestined purpose over your life will demand you to have a prophetic mantle (spiritual covering). Are you an apostle, a prophet, a pastor, a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, a businessman, a politician etc…..how ever big you are and successfully things seems to be going, you still need a prophetic mantle (spiritual covering).

Today in the world people have got insurance covering for their valuable assets. It’s also the same in the realm of the spirit, you need to be spiritually insured (prophetic mantle or covering).

Now you may ask me; why do I need a spiritual covering?

When you look all through the bible you will see that when ever God was to elect or ordain leaders, it was always done by the prophets.

So the work of these prophets was , one to prophecy (to create, to bring in existence) through constant prayers as they pray for the will of God to be done and revealed. In there prayers as they prayed for the nations, their aim was that the leaders of God may be revealed, Acknowledged and also given a place of authority in within the office of there calling. (godly leadership established).

The second thing these prophets did was that they protected God’s leaders and ministries in the spirit, so that the evil spirits may not miscarriage God’s purpose over their lives. 1 Samuel 16:1 & Isaiah 37:1-6.

The third thing that they did was to function as an oracle of God, which speaks God’s wisdom, counsel and revelation to these leaders as they also stood in the gap for them in prayers and intercession (making them spiritually fruitful in the spirit through prophecy and prayer). 2 Chronicles 20:20.

As an apostolic and prophetic ministry that is sent forth to protect God’s ministries, we have come across many big men and women of God that have fallen just because of lack of applying this simple principle as a covering over their ministries.

You see my brethren, every minister and ministry, I don’t care how big or anointed you are, You must have a spiritual covering where you put your tithe ( tenth percent ) as a sign of honour to God’s spiritual covering that fights your spiritual battles.

One man asked me a question; is it wrong if I tithe in my own ministry?

I said to him, “Yes it is, because your own ministry is surrounded with your own anointing that God has put upon your life, and in times of trouble, when the accuser attacks you, you are going to fall, because you are standing all by yourself, You need to be spiritually insured!
