For you have magnified your word above all your name: Psalm 138:2.

The written Word of GOD (the Holy Bible) must be the ultimate standard and guide for all believers, taking precedence over individual prophetic utterances.

1Kings 19:11-13 NKJV
[11] Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; [12] and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. [13] So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”​

The office of a prophet is distinct from the spiritual gifts of prophecy or the interpretation of tongues.

​After the fire came a still, small voice, which Elijah heard.

​I Corinthians 12:28 NKJV
[28] And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

​For the benefit of the Church and to bring the lost sheep back into His flock, God graciously appoints some to the office of a prophet. This appointment is solely His choice and is absolutely not based on any individual’s merits or talents.

​Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God equips every office bearer according to His plan and purpose. In His time, He raises them up to accomplish His plans.

​For you have magnified your Word above all your name (Psalm 138:2b).

​The Word of God takes precedence over everything we receive, whether visions or revelations. Without the Word, there is no prophecy nor any true prophet.
​Any believer who listens to a prophet or his sermons must measure their message against God’s Word. You must align yourself with God’s Word alone.
​For the Word of God is life, salvation, light, and deliverance, and all our sustenance comes from believing in God’s Word written in the Holy Bible.

​Praise and glory be to God our Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, for granting us the favor of knowing Him through the Holy Word of God in the Bible.

​Therefore, I encourage all my readers to turn to God’s Word more often than to any prophet or their prophecy.

​Revelation 1:3 NKJV
[3] Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

​God’s Word by itself is prophetic in nature, and we are blessed when we meditate on it and act according to its guidance.

​Moreover, every one of us believers is special to Him.

​Psalms 139:2-3 NKJV
[2] You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. [3] You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.
​Our Lord is deeply concerned about our well-being and the well-being of our loved ones.
​Psalms 139:15-16 NKJV
[15] My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. [16] Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.

​So why become anxious and run to every “pillar & post”?
​The Lord Jesus cares for us. He knows our worries, failures, fears, anxiety, doubts, and pains.

​He will meet you in the very moment of your need.
