More Prophecy


There were quite a few reactions from readers after reading my last post, all very positive. I am very glad that they have grasped the truth about the nature of the testimony of Jesus. With this understanding they will no longer look at testimonies casually.  It will stand them in good stead both in receiving and in giving prophecy, and ultimately God’s blessings. In fact there will be a sense of expectation every time they hear of a testimony or giving a testimony. Something good is going to happen!

One sister told me a very interesting account, which happened to her after our thanksgiving session on December 14, 2010. As you could recount (check out my post Give Thanks - Dec 30, 2010), on that evening a brother who worked in a bank marketing their investment products shared with us about his superb sales result: he not only exceeded the target set for him he also clinched second spot in the state for sales performance. Our brother gave glory to God; he knew that the Lord’s hand was on him for he was barely a few months into the job. Now, this sister works in another bank but she is in operation, not sales. However there are also targets for them to meet as a branch. By early December there was a shortfall of about four million Ringgit from the target for deposit amount the headquarter set for the year. Failure to meet targets could affect staff performance bonus. Our dear sister prayed and the Lord did marvelous things. The deposits shot up in the month in sensational fashion: some three days from New Year Eve, they were short only a couple of hundred thousand. But towards the end the big moneys stopped coming in as customers prepared for the New Year. She could only hope for a miracle in the last two days.

Then, a miracle took place in a most unexpected way. The management at headquarter sent a directive revising the target concerned downward some four million Ringgit. The scenario was totally reversed. Instead of a shortfall of a couple of hundred thousand the branch had now exceeded the target by some four million Ringgit! Our dear sister was thinking of how to reach the target, but the Lord used people in high places to lower the set target so that the branch not only could meet it but far exceeded it. What an incredible twist in the plot of the story. Simple, isn’t it?  But could we have thought of it? It has the mark of the Lord all over it. Jesus is very creative when it comes to His way of solving a problem. According to our sister, in the twenty years of her employment with the bank, she had never once experienced the management revising a set target downward. It is supernatural. It has to be God.

Again, what I want to stress is how a testimony of one had become a prophecy for someone else. I have no doubt that the spirit of prophecy was at work in our sister’s life after she heard the testimony of our brother. And I know this is not the end. This testimony of our sister has now become a prophecy for you, and it will go on and on, until it becomes like an avalanche of snow, gathering up momentum and sweeping off everything in its path. Only it is an avalanche of God’s goodness, the favor of Jesus. You wouldn’t mind to be a part of this, would you?
