Scriptural Facts On Revelation Messages
Saturday 12th April
Text: 11 Corinthians 12:1-4.
Key Verse: The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29.
Divine revelation or prophesying must not be despised by believers. Apart from normal preaching and teaching from the scriptures, the Lord also uses this means. He warns both saints and sinners of the danger of sin and the eternal judgment of hell fire. "But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men for edification, and exhortation, and comfort.” Divine revelations are not superior to the written word of God. The scripture is the instrument of ascertaining whether a revelation is from the Holy Spirit or not.
Any revelation that is according to the word and spirit of the scripture, exalts Jesus, promotes righteousness and holiness and does not violate any scriptural landmarks, should be received for edification, exhortation, and comfort. But we must be warned against giving undue respect and adoration to those who received divine revelation. Revelation 19:10. However, any revelation that is not according to the word and Spirit of the scripture, which tampers with scriptural landmarks, is from the archenemy of the Christian faith and must be discarded.
The revelation message, which is the word of God, is above the recipient. The life of the recipient may or may not conform to the revelation message. The recipient is subject to the message of the revelation and must submit to God's word for his or her salvation and eternal life. Apostle Paul also went to the third heaven. When he returned to the earth, he observed all Bible commandments and did all that was required, in order to return finally to heaven. Mature believers and sound teachers of God's word should not ignore these present-day divine revelations, nor be indifferent to them. They have the potential of blessing the body of Christ when properly interpreted and applied.
Thought For The Day: Revelations are not superior to the written word of God.
