Prophetic Engagement

By Phumudzo Nethwadzi

We are living in an era where there is a growing appetite to hear from God. Everyone wishes to know what the future holds for him or her. However whilst this appetite is on the rise, there are few or no teachings which are given on how to hear from God. As a result people tend to shift the focus, thereby seeking prophetic words elsewhere. In return when what gets to be spoken does not come to pass for whatever reason, confusion, frustration and disillusionment become inevitable.
This book is written to teach and guide on the importance of declaring words to ourselves without craving them from elsewhere (on issues relating to our lives). It enlightens us that the answers to our challenges lie within us. All you need to do, is to learn how to speak proper words and you will see the manifestation of the things spoken. This book is the art of declaration, the masterpiece of commanding things which are not to become. It is meant for individuals who are determined to proclaim things so that they can change their circumstances.
‘’Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord’’ Ezekiel 37: 4.

Introduction

Physical limitations can be a serious hindrance to humanity. It is for this reason alone that every one of us living on earth should wish to have a complete functioning system with no impediments of any kind, because by succumbing to the idea that one could be limited or impaired could sabotage the fulfilment of one’s Godly assignment. Thus, man’s greatest grain of wisdom is to learn to accept things one can’t change, and not get stressed out asking endless questions that don’t benefit us.

I have come to realise that the more we focus on our limitations, the more we lose sight of the fact that we can still be of value to society. All over the world people are worried – worried about anything from sickness or disease, unemployment, poverty, malnutrition, poor background, poor role models, and so forth – with most people blaming their current state of affairs on some of these issues. How often have you heard people say things like, Had it not been because of this sickness or disease, I would have gone far in life. However, look further afield and you’re bound to find another person suffering from a similar condition who has done much with their life – irrespective of the limitations.

When it comes to spiritual limitations, any loss of spiritual senses can have severe consequences. God redeemed us so that our spiritual senses could be enlightened. Consider this, the book of Revelation was written by a man who was physically blind but spiritually enlightened. This suggests that once our spiritual senses are activated, the possibilities of achieving outstanding results in our endeavour become so great, nothing can hinder a person whose insights and foresights are alive.

The Prophetic Engagement attempts to activate and capture some of the essential insights associated with challenges we confront in our lives, and to help us understand how we should respond to these challenges through the power of declaration. Moreover, it offers essential wise sayings to be used as a source of encouragement and inspiration at any time. I declare that this book be of great value in your life and in the lives of others in Jesus’ name, amen.

Ability To See The Agenda Of The Enemy

Before the enemy can launch any scathing attacks, let the Spirit of the Lord expose that which is on the agenda of the enemy. The enemy’s intentions are to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). Any launch of attacks against your life occurs within this tripartite strategy.

Statement

When the Spirit of the Lord is upon us, we become the most alerted people on the face of the earth, capable of recognising the strategy of the enemy while he is still contemplating his agenda against us. When we are led by the Holy Spirit, we tend to be the most advantageous people on the battlefield. Think about this: When your enemy is drawing up a list of items to be included on his agenda, you notice that your spouse, your children, your siblings, your relatives and so forth have been included. Having this information means it is easy for you to formulate counter strategies. The Holy Spirit empowers us to operate like a spy – and we don’t even have to be in the same space as the enemy! He freely reveals the enemy’s plans for our benefit. Think of it this way – we are not meant to be caught out by surprises.
