PROPHECY AND HEALING
         This is possible through very simple prayers, holy water, holy oil or holy substances that cost little or nothing. Where as, a medical treatment of a case can cost millions of naira, a prophetic treatment of such may cost only a bottle of olive oil (20 naira) or a jerry can of water (10 naira).
        Evidently, the hospitals do not heal poison caused by charms. But the treatment of such poison is a very simple case in the spiritual churches. It is common practice nowadays, to see medical doctors refer sick patients with chronic diseases to prayer houses.

PROPHECY AND RESEARCH
         In the use of prophecy, there is nothing like trials and errors, or years of research and experiments. The causes of problems and their remedies are easily known on request, from the Holy Spirit. Even in scientific research and criminal investigation, with prophecy, you do not need days of interview and search, as the Holy Spirit will give you the details, promptly, on request.

PROPHECY AND ECONOMY
         In the time of Joseph, in Egypt, it was prophecy that saved the nation’s economy. In addition, several lives, within and without Egypt, were delivered from seven years of severe famine. Even when plaques break out among the Israelites, all that Moses usually did was to inquire from God, who was always willing and ready to help.

PROFESSIONAL ANGELS
         A fact unknown to the majority of mankind is that in every aspect of human endeavour, there are Angels working on the same problems and concerns. There are Angel Scientists, Angel Engineers, Angel Accountants, etc. Man’s effort in every work will be greatly simplified when mankind learns how to connect and team up with the associate Angels who are always ready and willing to help. For example, Archangel Michael is in charge of War; Gabriel, Prophecy and Intelligence; Archangel Raphael, War and Peace, Administration, Travel; Archangel Uriel, health and medical services, as well as astrology and astronomy; Archangel Praivuil, education and wisdom; etc.

PROPHECY IN THE FAMILY
         Parents travel to distant places to make inquiry from prophets, visioners, seers, etc. That is very good, provided that they are inquiring from men of God. But why is that parents do not know how to inquire from their children who are gifted at prophecy?          Families that wish to identify their child prophets or youth prophets, should ask the children to narrate dreams, visions, and etc after morning prayers, and after other prayer sessions. And in cases of very important matters, the family can ask the gifted young prophets or visioners to pray for God’s guidance.

PROPHECY IN THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY
         The church of God is a prophetic organization. Right from the Garden of Eden, God has consistently demonstrated the relevance of prophecy. He foretold Adam and Eve the consequences of disobedience, which prophecies proved true.
         The coming of Jesus was first prophesied as a promise of salvation to mankind. Several prophets of different nations and periods of history explained and demonstrated the events of coming of the Messiah. Jesus, Himself, was, is and shall be a prophet.
         One major problem of Christianity is that it has followed the prophetic trends of ancient prophecies, without duly understanding the warnings in them. That is why the Christian church became misled and adulterated. This notwithstanding, we should remain grateful to God, who is gradually and persistently correcting wrong teachings and practices. Everyday, the light shines brighter and brighter, leading to a more convincing knowledge, better and greater understanding, based on proven evidences.
         Eventually, the Babylonian prostitute will be exposed and darkness expelled. Then the world will know the Truth and the world will be established in freedom, in righteousness and in wellbeing. The Book of Revelation made these facts clear

1 After these things I saw another Angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying,” Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury." Revelation 18:1-3

21 Then a mighty Angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,” Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth." Revelation 18:21-24

         But what is the meaning of the Babylonian prostitute? Here is the meaning. In prophecy, a woman means the church. A church is like a woman, because the church has children and takes care of the children of God. The Babylonian Empire was full of pagan worship - idolatry. The empire misled the world into worshiping image instead of worshiping Almighty God.
         A prostitute is a woman who flirts about with any man, who is not her husband. In so doing, the woman pollutes her body, brings shame and curses, instead of honour and blessings, to her household. Therefore, the Babylonian woman prostitute misleads the children of God from the true worship: she encourages sin, teaches, nourishes, enthrones and defends ignorance, feeds the flock with mysteries, false doctrines, and man-made commandments; indeed, there are so many false teachings in the Christian churches today.
         Gradually and eventually, all the false teachings will be eradicated. “Any tree not planted by my father, shall be uprooted,” says Jesus Christ.

USES OF PROPHECY IN MINISTRATION
         For good ministration, the church should be guided by the Holy Spirit, through prophecy. Man’s knowledge is very much limited. But prophecy will enable man to know in details: the causes of problems, the effects and the solutions.
         Every minister of God should pray for revelations before, during and after ministration. Revelations before ministration exposes the causes, effects, and solutions. Revelations during ministration provides guidance in all righteousness. Revelations after ministration enable confirmation, monitoring and evaluation.
         A minister who wants to perform healing or deliverance should not just dabble into doing so. He should first inquire from God, for revelations, for guidance and for solutions. Failure to do so can lead a minister into serious problems. Below is testimony on the need for divine inquiry before ministrations.
         A minister of God went to a house to cast out evil spirit. When he entered the house, he saw a python inside the house. Therefore, he said all the prayers he knew, but the python did not leave. At last, he inquired from God what to do. It was then that he received guidance unto success. God told him to go out and come in, backwards, into the house. He did so, and the python disappeared: fled away.

PROPHECY IN THE FUTURE
         The history of mankind has been marked by various stages of development. There was the Dark Age, the Medieval Age, the Scientific Age, the Jet Age and Explosion Age. Of course, there is now what is called the Age of Prophecy. In this age, prophecy, including vision, dream, trance, oracle, lot, etc, shall abound. God spoke about it in the olden days through His prophet, Hosea.

         The ability to make accurate predictions is now a standard measure of understanding. Prophecy shall prosper in all spheres of human endeavour. The evidence shall become clearer day by day. Of course, there may be mistakes or false predictions. Yet, true prophecy shall manifest as the sun rises in the morning, and brightly prospers in the afternoon, providing enough light even for the night. Everyday, it shall become all the more important, and more convincing, even indispensable. Churches that are not prophetically and spiritually strong may experience upward incompatibility. That is, members trying to dictate for the leaders what should be done in the house of God.
(From The Visions Of A Saint By Raphael Nweze)

         Turn to spirit and prophecy : Many of the things you say, claim or do, do not exist in the spirit realm. This simply means that some burden themselves with irrelevancies. In fact, you will be amazed to know that evil spirits know the truth more than many of you, and that they make mockery of what you do or say.
         The following message of Revelation is for everybody:

I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
(From Everlasting Wonders By Raphael Nweze)

         You may ask, “How can one know when he has received inspiration?” You will know because inspiration comes as an idea occurring to the mind, as a still small voice speaking within the heart, or as a flash of topic and details. The stillness and smallness may seem imperceptible. Yet, its message must be clear and convincing. And everyday, it becomes all the more clear and convincing. (From Everlasting Wonders By Raphael Nweze)

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT
         It is quite disappointing that an Angel of God would travel over 93 millions miles to deliver a prophetic message to a person through dream, vision, trance, oracle, etc. And the person wakes up and says that the message is a mere figment of imagination, a fever dream, or dismiss it with a wave of hand. Even more embarrassing, for a minister of God to say that God does not speak to His people through dream, vision, trance, oracle, etc. If God does not speak to His people, then the ministers are only deceiving people, because God never spoke to them in the first place.
