3. Prophet Offering.

(St Mathews 10:41-King James Version)
41. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of the prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

(Mathew 10:41-New Living Translation)
41. If you welcome a prophet as one who speaks for God, you will receive the same reward a prophet gets. And if you welcome good and godly people because of their godliness, you will be given a reward like theirs.

A Prophet-is one that speaks for God.
-is God’s anointed messenger, sent to be a blessing to us.
-is a spiritual father.

·All the gifts given to the prophet attracts prophetic rewards, as it provokes prophetic utterances from him or her.
·A gift pleasing to their hearts gurantees a release of blessings from them. Thus one way of provoking a release of blessings from your spiritual father is to give unto them. For example in Genesis 27, Isaac released such a blessing to his sons.
·When we give to the prophets in our lives it is for our own prosperity. Never come under the shallow thinking that when you give to a prophet you are enriching them remember their prosperity is a function of their giving.
·To begin with when they declare God’s word upon your life they are releasing a blessing which is entitled to rewards which you in turn partake in.
·The two examples of those who benefited from the prophet offering are: 1.the widow of Zerephath (1Kings 17:9-16) and the Shunamite woman (2Kings4:8-17).
·Committing to take care of the prophets provokes God to take care of your own cares.
·One has to make a deliberate choice to embrace the ministry of caring for the prophets in their midst.
·To give with liberty, always know that you do not give to the prophets because they have needs. Remember you are not the one who called them neither did God say if you don’t give to them they starve. Let’s have a healthy mentality when we engage this covenant practice and above all keep watch to observe every covenant detail.On the contrary prophets are sent to service the needs of humanity.
·They are God’s messengers sent to humanity hence trying to manipulate them because of what you have given to them is against the word nor does it provoke a blessing.
