KEY POINTS

1. Understanding the Office of a Prophet

A Prophet Carries Two Dimensions

1. A Sword — for correction, judgment, and spiritual alignment.

2. A Reward — grace, blessings, favour, and supernatural advantage.

A prophet is a messenger of God, carrying the Word, voice, and intentions of God to a people.

Every Prophet Has a Spiritual Distribution

• Every prophet carries a unique distribution of the Spirit given by God.

• No prophet is empty — each one is a carrier of something that God wants to give His people.

Every Prophet Has a Reward

📖 Matthew 10:41

• Jesus taught that the “prophet’s reward” becomes available only when honour is shown.

• Honour unlocks what the prophet carries.

2. Honour Is the Access Point to Prophetic Grace

• Things begin to happen when you learn how to provide honour.

• Honour is not about personality — it is about recognizing the grace of God on the prophet.

• To dishonour a prophet is to disconnect from divine help.

📖 Galatians 6:6–7

• Whatever you sow into a prophetic relationship produces a harvest.

• Honour is a seed; the prophet’s reward is the harvest.

3. HOW TO CONNECT TO THE PROPHET’S REWARD

1. Identify the Carrier of the Grace

📖 Matthew 10:41

• You cannot receive from a man whose grace you do not identify.

• Recognition is the first step to impartation.

2. Receive the Person of the Prophet

📖 2 Chronicles 20:20

• Believe in the Lord → be established.

• Believe His prophet → prosper.

To "receive" the prophet means:

• Desire connection

• Honour him genuinely

• Value the grace on his life

• Love and esteem the anointing he carries

👉 The prophet you cannot honour cannot bless you.

3. Crave the Grace Upon the Prophet

📖 Isaiah 44:3

• Hunger determines impartation.

• When you crave the oil your prophet carries, you position yourself for the outpouring.

THE REWARDS OF HONOURING YOUR PROPHET

1. Access to the Prophet's Reward

📖 Matthew 10:41

• You receive the grace, wisdom, covering, and results upon the prophet’s life.

2. Supernatural Prosperity

📖 2 Chronicles 20:20

• Honour unlocks divine prosperity, open doors, and breakthroughs.

3. Impartation of Grace

📖 Isaiah 44:3

• The spiritual deposits on the prophet begin to flow into your life.

4. Divine Protection and Covering

• The prophet’s covering shields you from attacks and misdirection.

5. Acceleration and Speed

• Honour multiplies results, shortens processes, and brings supernatural speed.

6. Favour and Open Doors

• Honour triggers favour with God and man because grace is activated.

7. Access to Divine Secrets and Direction

• Prophetic honour gives you access to counsel, spiritual clarity, and divine instructions.

8. Unusual Miracles and Encounters

• The anointing you honour becomes the anointing that works for you.

CONCLUSION

Honour is the key that unlocks the prophet’s blessing.
Your prophet is God’s ordained channel of grace, impartation, and direction.

To honour your prophet is to secure:
✔ supernatural lifting
✔ divine prosperity
✔ impartation of grace
✔ prophetic covering
✔ unusual breakthroughs

The anointing you honour is the anointing that blesses you.
The anointing you dishonour cannot lift you.

Matthew 10:40–41

KEY POINTS

1. Honour Determines the Flow of Blessings

• In the house of God, everything flows in the direction of honour.

• Where honour is present, grace flows; where dishonour exists, grace is blocked.

2. Double Honour — God’s Order for Spiritual Leadership

📖 1 Timothy 5:17

• Those who labour spiritually, feed you, bless you, and cover you are worthy of double honour.

• Honour is not flattery; it is value, recognition, and right posture.

3. Prophets Carry Two Dimensions

A Prophet carries:

1. A Blessing

2. A Dagger (Judgment)

👉 What you receive depends entirely on how you approach the anointing.
The same anointing that lifts some can judge others — the heart determines the outcome.

4. People You Must Honour

1. Spiritual Parents & Their Family

   • Your spiritual father is a covenant channel for impartation and preservation.

2. Biological Parents

   • Honour guarantees longevity (Eph. 6:1–3).

3. Husbands & Wives

   • Wives honour your husbands; husbands honour your wives with understanding (1 Pet. 3:7).

If you play with honour, you lose access to favour, help, and grace.

BENEFITS OF HONOUR

1. Honour Opens the Flow of Blessings

📖 Proverbs 3:9–10

• Honour provokes divine provision, overflow, and supernatural supply.

2. Honour Gives Access to the Prophet’s Reward

📖 Matthew 10:40–41

• When you honour a prophet, you partake of the prophet’s:

  ✔ favour
  ✔ revelation
  ✔ covering
  ✔ breakthroughs

3. Honour Secures Long Life & Well-Being

📖 Ephesians 6:1–3

• Honour extends life and brings peace, stability, and favour.

4. Honour Opens Doors That Hard Work Alone Cannot Open

6. Honour Provokes Divine Remembrance

📖 Acts 10:4

• Honour makes your giving and service rise as a memorial before God.

• The grace upon your spiritual father begins to produce:
  ✔ speed
  ✔ breakthroughs
  ✔ protection
  ✔ favour
  ✔ unusual results

• Honour strengthens families, marriages, and leadership systems.

HOW TO SHOW HONOUR

1. Recognition

• Honour begins with the right thought and right perception.
  📖 Acts 28:4

• You cannot receive from a man you dishonour in your mind.

2. Reception

📖 Matthew 10:40

• Receiving a prophet positions you for the prophet’s reward.

3. Rewarding

• Honour is also expressed through:
  ✔ support
  ✔ service
  ✔ giving
  ✔ responsible actions

• You cannot claim honour where there is no sacrifice.

CONCLUSION

Honour is a spiritual law, not a suggestion.
The anointing you honour blesses you; the anointing you dishonour cannot lift you.

Prophets carry both a blessing and a dagger.
Your posture determines your portion.

When you honour your spiritual father you step into supernatural favour, and unusual breakthroughs.

• 📖 Genesis 8:20–22 — As long as the earth remains, seed-time and harvest will never cease.

4. There Are Blessings and There Are Uncommon Blessings

• God releases general blessings, but He also releases uncommon graces to His covenant people.

• Until you understand and obey the laws, you cannot walk in abundance.

5. The Covenant Practices That Enforce Financial Dominion

• Partnerships

• Sacrificial Seeds

• Giving to the poor

• Offerings

📖 Luke 6:38 — Your giving determines your receiving.

   • Choose to be a producer, not just a consumer.

3. Materialistic Mentality — when money is the only focus.

Wrong thinking produces wrong outcomes.

6. Sacrificial Seeds

These are the spiritual systems God uses to lift believers out of hardship.

As you honour God’s systems and apply wisdom, your financial destiny shifts out of struggle into abundance.

 

219| FAITH FOR MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL PROVISION 2| MANDATE MIRACLE ENCOUNTER

FAITH FOR MATERIAL & FINANCIAL PROVISION (PART 2)

Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa

INTRODUCTION

Faith is required not only for salvation or spiritual growth — faith is needed for material supply, daily survival, and financial victories.
God operates strictly by faith, and everything done outside of faith is unacceptable to Him.

Even when a person has money physically, a believer must still engage faith — because faith is the master key to supernatural provision.

KEY TRUTHS FROM PART 1 (FOUNDATION RECAP)

📌 God has a track record of supernatural supply

Your mouth is your financial gateway.
You cannot speak lack and expect increase.

• Wrong company kills zeal; right company increases spiritual glow.

CONCLUSION 

Fruitfulness requires fire. When a believer loses spiritual passion, they begin to lose their gifts, their strength, and their impact. To remain fruitful, you must keep your love alive, maintain your fervency, and renew your spiritual fire daily.

Fruitfulness thrives in a burning heart. Fireless Christianity leads to fruitless Christianity.
