INTRODUCTION
Within the pages of this book, we embark on a transformative journey, addressing a pressing issue that resonates deeply with countless prophetic individuals across the world. These gifted souls find themselves yearning for clarity on their divine calling, unsure of how to activate their gifts and fulfil the prophetic call on their lives. Their hearts are set on making a lasting impact, being the change, they know they are meant to be.
For far too many, this soul-stirring longing to step into their prophetic destiny becomes undeniable, urging them to take action and embrace their God-given purpose. No longer content with passive spectatorship, they refuse to sit on the very gifts and calling that can transform not only their lives but the world around them.
However, the journey towards fulfilling their prophetic destiny can be daunting, with obstacles seemingly insurmountable. Amidst the struggles and challenges faced, the path forward remains unclear, leaving many on the side-lines, unsure of how to bring their dreams into reality.
In the face of their divine calling to the prophetic ministry, some prophets find themselves wrestling with inner demons of doubt. These doubts loom large, creating formidable barriers that hinder them from stepping into their full potential and embracing the radical transformation that awaits them.
But fear not, for this book serves as a roadmap, bridging the gap between the longing in your soul and the path to actualising your prophetic destiny. It unfolds as a framework, revealing the way to clarity, activation, and fulfilment of your God-given gifts and purpose.
Some other key issues confronting prophets today is the temptation to compromise their integrity and authenticity. In a world pressurised by recognition and acceptance, the allure of compromise can subtly lead prophets astray. The desire for popularity and the constant need to please others can cloud their ability to hear the true voice of God and speak His uncompromised truth.
Additionally, prophets face the challenge of navigating the complexities of the supernatural realm. With heightened spiritual sensitivity and encounters with the spiritual realm, they often experience intense spiritual warfare, opposition, and even scepticism from within their own communities.
Furthermore, prophets may grapple with the weight of numerous responsibilities in addition to the burden of their calling. Delivering messages from God, addressing sensitive issues, and standing against prevailing cultural norms can take a toll on their emotional and mental well-being, leading to self-doubt, fear, and feelings of inadequacy.
As a prophetic community, unity and accountability are paramount. The diversity of prophetic voices and interpretations can lead to confusion and division if not navigated with humility and a commitment to biblical truth. Therefore, fostering an environment of mutual respect, accountability, and discernment is essential to ensure the prophetic gifts operate in alignment with the overall mission of the Church and God’s kingdom purposes.
In the following chapters, we delve deep into the essence of your prophetic calling, equipping you with the tools and wisdom to unlock the potential within you. We explore the profound importance of aligning your identity with God’s purpose, breaking free from limiting beliefs, and embracing a radical vision for your life. Alongside this, we uncover the power of resilience in the face of challenges and the transformative nature of stepping into courageous action.
Throughout this book, we shed light on these issues faced by prophets today and provide biblical insights, transformational and practical guidance. We emphasise the importance of guarding your heart, remaining true to your calling, and steadfast in your commitment to God’s Word.
We delve into the necessity for prophets to cultivate discernment, wisdom, and a solid theological foundation to navigate these challenges effectively. Moreover, we emphasise the importance of developing a support system, seeking spiritual guidance, and prioritising self-care, vital aspects for personal well-being and longevity in your prophetic ministry.
As a prophet myself, I am passionate not only about prophets and the prophetic ministry but also about the role they play as change agents in our world and Church. I have personally experienced the challenges faced by prophets and walked the journey of overcoming obstacles. Witnessing the transformative power of partnering with God and applying the principles and keys shared in this book, I have seen lives transformed, callings and destinies fulfilled.
I am humbled to share that faithfully implementing these keys has opened doors and elevated me to unexpected places of influence—an opportunity orchestrated only by God Himself. It is a testament to His faithfulness and the power of following His principles.
These principles are not dependent on personal connections or worldly influence. God sees you right where you are on your journey, recognising your heart posture and the sacrifices you have made to serve Him diligently. He is ready to meet you in your pursuit of intimacy with Him and in the fulfilment of your prophetic calling.
As you engage with each chapter, diligently work through the follow-up questions, and immerse yourself in the provided 31-day devotional and guided journal, your life will be forever transformed. You will experience a profound inward and outward shift, walking in increased favour, confidence, and a powerful, pure prophetic flow of God’s glory.
Prepare yourself to be empowered, challenged, and inspired. Together, we will unlock the fullness of your prophetic calling and experience the abundant life that God has destined for you. Let us embark on this transformative expedition together, breaking free from the shackles that have held us back, and embracing the greatness that awaits us as prophetic voices in a world that desperately needs to hear our message.
I encourage you to read every chapter until the end, allowing the truths and insights to penetrate your heart and mind. And if you feel led, I would be honoured to personally connect with you through email, to hear about your journey and the breakthroughs you experience along the way.
Get ready, because as you embark on this journey of intimacy with God and prophetic breakthroughs, your life will never remain the same. I am excited for the transformation that awaits you, and I am confident that God has extraordinary plans in store for you as you align yourself with His purposes.
Together, let us now take on this journey, unlocking the fullness of your prophetic calling and experiencing the abundant life that God has destined for you.
I pray this book serve as a transformative resource and a source of inspiration for prophets, empowering them to overcome challenges and thrive in their God-given calling.
Read on, prophet. Let us embrace the transformative power of our prophetic calling, rising as a community of prophets and igniting a global movement of positive change, stepping into the fullness of our destiny.

THIS MUST BE STRONGER
THAN THAT
We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.
—Dietrich Bonheiffer
IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE PROPHETS POSSESS A STRENGTH THAT surpasses the prevailing forces of the world. The 1930s introduces us to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian, pastor, and prophet who embodied resilient strength and conviction amidst Hitler’s oppressive regime during World War II. In the face of unimaginable darkness, Bonhoeffer declared, This must be stronger than that
—a resounding principle that reverberates through the corridors of time. Today, as prophets, we are invited to rise and confront the challenges of our era.
As a prophet myself, I have been deeply captivated by Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s story. His passion and courage have been a source of inspiration and challenge for me. In echoing his statement—This must be stronger than that
—I am reminded of the weightiness of my call and the need for prophetic strength in today’s world.
The Finkenwalders: A Community Shaped by Conviction
In the 1930s, as the Nazi regime’s influence grew, Dietrich Bonhoeffer recognised the need to train and equip individuals who would resist the regime’s ideology and promote a genuine Christian faith. To this end, he established an illegal seminary known as Finkenwalde. This seminary became a refuge for young theologians and pastors who gathered to study, pray, and live in community. The Finkenwalders, under Bonhoeffer’s leadership and guidance, engaged in rigorous spiritual formation with a strong emphasis on discipleship, spiritual growth, and an uncompromising and radical commitment to following Christ.
The Finkenwalders played a crucial role in shaping the faith and convictions of its students, ultimately inspiring them to resist the Nazi regime and uphold the values of truth, justice, and compassion. Bonhoeffer recognised the necessity for the Finkenwalders to be stronger than the prevailing forces of their time. They had to be spiritually fortified, equipped with unyielding strength and commitment to stand against the oppressive regime.
However, concerns were raised by Bonhoeffer’s friends and other Christians about the intensity of the seminary training. They questioned whether such a high level of commitment was necessary and feared potential burnout and alienation from national leadership.
Undeterred by the scepticism, Bonhoeffer remained firm in his conviction. He believed that the Finkenwalders needed to be stronger than the prevailing forces of the times they lived in, including the Nazi regime. Bonhoeffer’s determination led him to take a pivotal step, bringing his friend, Wilhelm Niesel, to a hilltop overlooking Hitler’s training camp. From there, Bonhoeffer shared his insights on the necessity of superior discipline to defeat the Nazis. He challenged his generation of believers and leaders to be stronger than the tormentors they encountered daily.
The Power of Conviction
Bonhoeffer’s actions encapsulate the power of persistent conviction. In a world filled with compromise and conformity, it is essential for prophets to cling steadfastly to the principles and teachings of the kingdom of God. Bonhoeffer’s profound statement, This must be stronger than that,
underscores his understanding that the core principles of the Christian faith ought to take precedence over personal desires, societal norms, or political pressures.
His steadfast conviction serves as a reminder that, as prophets of Jesus Christ, we are called to prioritise fidelity to God’s truth above all else. In the face of challenges and opposition, it is crucial to remain resolute, upholding the values of love, justice, and righteousness.
Jon Tyson said it so well in his book The Beautiful Resistance.
Should we just give up and capitulate to the powers of our time? Should we sit by while our faith is taken captive by political and ideological forces? Should we avert our eyes while mammon wreaks havoc on our hearts? Should we watch twenty million young people leave the church in our generation? A million a year give up on faith.
Is it possible to build community in such a way that though it is small, generations to come will look back on our faithfulness in a generation of compromise?
So, we must call our generation to loyalty to Christ. We must live with devotion and conviction regardless of what they cost us. This must be stronger than that.
Recognising the Urgency of the Times
Prophets are not passive observers of the world; they are spiritually sensitive and discerning of the times and seasons they live in. Throughout history, pivotal moments have arisen when societal, cultural, and spiritual landscapes demand the presence and voices of prophets. These are times of upheaval, transition, and pressing need for divine guidance and intervention. The shifting tides of human experience, whether marked by injustice, moral decay, or spiritual hunger, create a space where prophets emerge as conduits of God’s wisdom and truth.
Just as Moses, Daniel, Nehemiah, and other biblical figures were summoned, leading to the shaping of the spiritual climate of their times, prophets today are likewise called to respond to the pressing needs of their generation. They are called to be the voice of God amidst chaos, confusion, and moral decay. Therefore, their role is to, with clarity and authority, provide direction, challenge the status quo, and offer a vision of hope amidst the darkness. The times themselves have become a resounding call, a collective cry, for prophetic voices to illuminate the path forward, confront prevailing forces, and deliver messages that call for repentance, transformation, and restoration.
The hot question is, Should we then continue with the way things have been and allow the powers of our time destroy us? I know I am not the only one feeling the need for the church and, particularly, the prophets
to rise up to the call for such a time.
The Challenges and Resistance Faced by Prophets
Prophets often encounter misunderstanding, ridicule, and attempts to silence their voices. Their message is often countercultural and challenges the prevailing ideologies and powers. However, prophets are fuelled by an assignment, conviction, and passion that come directly from God, making them unstoppable in fulfilling their purpose. Throughout history, prophets have faced opposition and rejection, yet they remained undeterred in their pursuit of God’s calling.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s own experiences serve as a testament to the trials faced by prophets, even in our time. In a world captivated by political and ideological forces, where faith is at risk of being taken captive and compromise abounds, prophets are called to build communities rooted in uncompromising loyalty to Christ. They must live with devotion and conviction, regardless of the personal cost, in order to establish a foundation stronger than the prevailing forces of the times.
The Core Principles of Prophetic Office
Bonhoeffer’s statement, This must be stronger than that,
embodies his profound understanding of the moral and spiritual principles that should guide the actions and choices of believers and
