Why Prophecies Fail PDF Download

IntroductionBelievers continue to struggle with the tragedy of unfulfilled prophecies. Here and there, men and women of God all over the world continue to speak the counsel of God to individuals. Then we notice that people receive these prophesies sincerely but most of them never come to pass.Today is an attempt to show us what may be wrong and also to reveal to us the place of the prophetic and the place of the word of God. This is because there are people, for instance, who have seen things in visions and dreams or have received prophetic word from genuine and anointed men of God. Some of these prophecies may not have been consistent with the dealings of God. Some of them may have been negative prophecies and they have remained helpless believing that just because a man anointed and accredited by God made a pronouncement to them means that nothing could be done about it. So they sit down and allow this prophecies happen1 Tim 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightiest war a good warfare.Paul was talking to his son in the gospel, Timothy. And he is encouraging him that prophetic word have been released to go ahead of him. Then he tells him that by those prophecies that have gone ahead of him, he should war a good warfare.So it is possible that prophetic word can be sent ahead of a person, whether in ministry, family life, business, etc. There are people here and there who, probably because of their religious affiliations or the kind of the structure of mentorship they have received, they have been trained to ignore and despise the prophetic. Some persons have been very vocal about the fact the prophetic is no longer useful in today's church. All versions of sarcasm have been communicated as regards the prophetic. Whereas, the Bible u settled it once and for all in 1 Thess 5:20. It says "despise not prophesyings."This is a warning. It is telling you that you must not despise prophesy in your journey through life. This means that the Bible recognize that there is a place for the prophetic. If you find yourself in an environment where people or even the leaders there continually despise prophecy, you don't have to fight anybody or create a scene there. Just let it be a settled conviction within you that in the journey of a believer, there is a place for the prophetic. When it comes to prophecy, the Bible tells us that even the scripture is a prophecy.
