Prophecy
Prophecy is meant to impact our lives in a way that would help us experience the goodness of the Lord. It is not just “knowledge” predicting what would happen in the future. Prophecy is also a revelation of wisdom for what needs to be done to stay safe from spiritual danger. As believers, prophecy prepares and enables us to become overcomers.
People who know what to do in times of difficulties are wise. In our modern time, it is good to know that gasoline makes cars to have the ability to move, but it is wise enough to use it in our cars so that we can move around. Now, the ability to use knowledge is wisdom. In Proverbs 4:7 the Bible says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom…” (KJV). We all need to get wisdom.
The Bible gives us an example of a people who were known for being wise. These people were from the tribe of Issachar. In 1 Chronicle 12: 32 the Bibles says, “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had an understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment” (KJV). These men were wise and that is why they were able to help other people in Israel.
