Prophets can see us through

project, the power to begin it and finish it.
In many cases it will be easy to start a company, marriage, friendship, church, but taking it to its intended destination requires proper guidance, mentoring and help.
Nobody has been there. The knowledge that you might have concerning a thing sometimes doesn’t give you the power to run it practically and successfully. You need someone who has been there to take you there and beyond the horizon. It is only God who has been there in our future who could take humanity beyond its plans and knowledge.
God gave the prophets, a mandate to guide and take humanity into its intended destination by the Holy Ghost. Proverbs 29 v 18 says “where there is no vision, people perish, but he that keepeth the law, happy is he”.
God is rest assuring us that if there is no one coming from Him to teach and tell us the way, then we will surely perish. We need God’s servants who actually hear from Him to tell us where and how we should go in order for us to enter into our God given destinations. Happy is the man who listens to the laws of God given by His servants, safe is the man. In the book of 1 Samuel 9, there was a man named Saul who went around all the land of  Shal­isha, Shaalim and Benjamin looking for his father’s lost donkeys without finding them.
He searched every corner of the land for three days together with his father’s servant, but couldnt find them. When they got to the land of Zuph, Saul thought of returning to his father’s home before the father started worrying about him and the servant.
His servant constrained him that they should go and see a respected man of God in the city, who was a prophet, to give them direction of the way they should go before going home empty handed. The ser­vant had a seed to give to the prophet so they went to inquire from him. They found Samuel prophetically waiting for them and he in turn told them that the donkeys they were wor­ried about were already found.
Saul and his servant are a typical group of people who don’t regard the existence of the prophets until they get into the troubles of life. They took the prophet Samuel as the last thing to think about when they had physically got exhausted from the toils of looking for the donkeys by themselves yet God had given them the man who could see beyond the borders for them.
Many people in life fall into traps due to pride and will think of the Lord after so many sufferings and losses in trying to solve things by themselves and yet God has given us solutions by giving us the prophets.
Saul and his servant should not have spent three days searching. What took them three days took the prophet Samuel a split of a second. Pride and ignorance is making men and women of this world suffer unnec­essarily.
We have prophets whom the Lord had sent to benefit us, why should we suffer? As a nation do we have prophets? If we do have them, do we regard them? Who knows what the future holds except the prophets? God made it possible for all the people to hear Him. All the blocked ears that cannot hear the voice of the Holy Spirit directly can still choose to hear God if they can humble themselves by sitting at the feet of a prophet and listen to him.
A meeting that can take weeks without finding a lasting solution can take only less than a minute in the hands of a prophet with a per­manent and eternal solution.
Among other prophets in our nation, God blessed us at UFIC with a gift of a prophet. Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa has helped a lot of folks in recovering their lost glory. A prophet is a bridge that one can choose to use in order to access the blessings of God. Prophets are a rare species.
They can help you recover your lost don­keys without you having suffered a loss. Welcome a prophet, welcome your destiny. Are you wondering up and down in life? Are you looking for donkeys? Get to the city where the seer stays, you shall find more than just donkeys.
