PROPHETIC DIRECTION - A KEY TO CONFRONTING OBSTACLES

SCRIPTURE: And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. – Hosea 12:13
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Following prophetic direction guarantees destiny fulfilment.
 
Obstacles, difficulties and challenges abound in our daily living. The storm of life normally rises when you want to take steps to cross over to the other side of destiny.
 
However, obstacles are not meant to swallow us; they are to be surmounted.
 
Now, how do we surmount obstacles? 
 
Prophetic direction is one way of surmounting obstacles and oppositions in life.
When the children of Israel confronted the River Jordan, God gave them a strategy to cross over. In Joshua 3:13, the priests were to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord ahead while the children of Israel were to follow them. As soon as the feet of the priests stepped into the River Jordan, the waters parted. 
 
It was a prophetic direction that also brought down the wall of Jericho (Judges 6:10).
 
So, if you can locate and follow the footsteps of a genuine prophet or spiritual father that God has placed over you, then, you have no ‘River Jordan’ or ‘Jericho Wall’ to fear.
 
Following prophetic direction guarantees destiny fulfilment. As long as you are connected to a prophetic mantle, you have no obstacle to fear. 
 
Remember this: Following prophetic direction guarantees destiny fulfilment.

AMAZING FACT: Taste buds are capable of sensing taste only when molecules of the food (or whatever you put in your mouth) dissolve in water (our saliva consists of water). This essentially means that you cannot sense taste of anything whose molecules do not dissolve in water even if you have a moist tongue.
