Prophets are God’s employees

operating under the sun and the majority of them are positions with functions conferred by men to other men.
God, being the ultimate source of all life and being in the “chiefest” office, qualified some men and women to occupy the extensions of His office. One among the few extensions of His office is the office of the Prophet.
Prophets are God’s employees and hence they operate from the divine office of Jehovah.
Prophets, like cooks who take instructions from their chefs in the kitchen, carry out their daily assignments directly from their boss who is Jehovah Himself in order to meet the daily needs of God’s people.
Prophets are there to influence almost every institution of today’s world, despite the fact that they are often viewed with contempt, locked up (Jeremiah 37), ignored (Isaiah 6:9-13), and persecuted (1 Kings 19:1-2).
Prophets should be allowed to criticise vain worship (Amos 5:23-24) and priestly failures (Amos 7:10; Malachi 2). Prophets are permitted by God to do such things because of the office they occupy: they have seats in the heavenly council and they see into the throne room or the heavenly court (Isaiah 6:1-7; 1Kings 22:19-23; Jeremiah 23:18-22). God has set prophets in this world because they are important to the health and strength of our churches and nations.
Carrying tremendous authority and having the capacity to bring great blessing to those who receive their ministry, prophets should function under the new covenant law, under which they are accepted as bearers of one of the ministry offices and gifts established by God to perfect believers(Ephisians 4:11-12). They should no longer function under the old covenant mind-set of rejection, persecution and exile. Prophets need to be integrated into the fabric of the life of a healthy church and nation.
Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa is one of the few prophets in our generation whom the Lord has endowed with power and placed him in an office of a prophet.
Prophet Makandiwa, our father in the Lord, does not operate under the spirit of prophecy, but he is in the office of a prophet which qualifies him to be a full-time prophet of Jehovah everyday. For this we thank God, we have an all-seeing eye of God in our nation.
Glory be to God!
He speaks the utterances of God that are charged with anointing and power to destroy the kingdom of the devil and to establish the Kingdom of God.
His office as a prophet is confrontational: he throws down the works of darkness.
Many people do not understand this because they feel that when the work of darkness is being rooted out they are part of the destruction.
Elijah confronted the powers of idolatry at Mount Carmel and Jezebel, Ahab and many lost their lives thinking Elijah was against them not knowing the prophet does not attack people, but the works of darkness.
Why would one get upset when a demon is being cast out, if they are not the Devil themselves?
Through the utterances of prophets, evil spirits are rooted out of their dwelling places.
There is God’s investment of authority and power in the mouth of a prophet. And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved (Hosea 12:13). Your life needs a prophet.
In an office of a prophet, the works of darkness are destroyed and torn apart. Many people, including pastors, fear prophetic ministry because it is so powerful.
However, the righteous pastors should not be afraid, for true prophetic ministry like UFIC, among others, will only destroy what is of the devil.
It will never destroy what is of the Lord, for a kingdom cannot fight against itself. Prophet Makandiwa, in his prophetic office, promotes holiness and purity in the house of God and destroys what is fleshly and demonic.
In the prophetic office, prophets exercise the responsibility of building. Besides destroying, uprooting, pulling down and throwing down the works of darkness, the prophet also builds up the body of Christ.
This is the ministry of edification, exhortation and comfort. Prophets have a genuine love and compassion for God’s people. They build up the church so that the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
Many people are still asking why Prophet Makandiwa has a huge following today.
Allow me to answer part of this question: Prophet Makandiwa in his office as a prophet is a man who is moved with compassion. He is a prophet who has huge deposits of the love of God — he loves God’s people very much. No man in this world is so humble like Prophet Makandiwa. He is a distribution centre of the love of Christ.
He takes care of many widows and orphans who live like the members of his family.
Being touched by the afflictions upon God’s people, Prophet Makandiwa heals the sick in our church services. People are not healed everywhere, though they go everywhere looking for solutions. It is the love and too much compassion that is in him that heals the sick.
I have never seen a giver like prophet Makandiwa.
He guards and he guides, he shepherds the flock of God. He is a pillar and a source of many families that include mine. I had nothing and I was nothing, but the prophet picked me from the mud and gave me accommodation in his life.
Some say, “Anodya mari dzavanhu” (He takes away people’s money) and I ask “How much did you give to him so that he could eat it?” Instead, Prophet Makandiwa is the one who is giving away!
In his office, a prophet is a giver, a church and a nation builder. Just like Jesus in the book of John 6, after ministering to the 5 000 spiritually, He also met their physical needs by providing for their stomachs.
So is Prophet Makandiwa’s ministry.
Prophets work 24/7. They pray for the people and nations even without people’s knowledge.
They work like no man’s business.
Once the Lord delivers a message for some individuals or particular nations at the prophet’s doorsteps, a prophet enters his chambers to weep, pray and fast.
Prophets save lives, promote people, bless nations, correct things in the spirit realm and command blessings and healing in the physical realm.
No wonder why Abraham was called by God a “father of many nations”. He was a prophet. A prophet is a man sent from God to father and cover individuals, families and even nations in prayer to the glory of God.
In the book of 2 Chronicles 20:20, the bible shows us that if we can only believe and observe with respect the prophetic office set up by God for our benefit, we will surely prosper.
May we continue praying alongside our father in the Lord, Prophet Makandiwa, for the continual peace and prosperity of our beloved nation.
