How Can A Person Live

With An Anointing Upon A Prophetic Gift?

When a person has a set of prophetic gifts in his possession, he will have a wealth of gifts which are from other people. If he has been in the Lord’s will, he will be able to use these gifts for the glory of the Lord. If such a person is in the Lord’s service, he will be told by the Lord where to go and pick up blessings that are from other people. Can a person also receive blessings directly from the Lord? Yes, he can receive blessings directly from the Lord, however, a mantle cannot come from the Lord directly. It is a set of gifts which come with blessings. If a person has been blessed by the Lord, he will be able to pick up blessings where ever he goes. If a person has a curse upon him, that person will lose gifts. The gifts which a person with who has a curse loses, will be given to a person who is blessed. A person who is blessed will has to always stay in the Lord’s will. If a blessed person is a bishop, he is able to expeditiously receive blessings from God and from the people who are cursed in his environment.

The environment where a bishop is resident should always have blessed people. If the people are cursed, they lose every blessing which they possess. They will lose mantles, gifts, and other blessings which are from God. If a bishop is in an area and the people in that area honour that bishop, they will not lose the gifts which they possess even if they are cursed. If a bishop is in an area and he is not known to be a bishop, will he still cause the cursed people in that area to lose mantles, gifts and other blessings from God? If a person who is in a place where a bishop is resident calls on the name of the Lord, He may be able to give him knowledge as to why the people in that area are deficient in gifts from God. In other words, a bishop will automatically attract all the gifts of all the cursed people in an area.

If the people in that area honour that bishop, the Lord will bless them so that they are able to keep their gifts. How will people who do not have knowledge of the presence of a bishop honour him? If a person is a bishop and does not receive honour from the people who are in his environ, he will continue receiving the gifts and blessings which the people in that area have received from God. Apart from mantles, what type of gifts and blessings do cursed people lose to a bishop who is in their area? If a person has a gift of wealth which he received from the Lord as a result of doing His will but is now cursed, such a person will lose that wealth. If another person has a gift of wealth which he received from God at birth, that person cannot lose that gift even if he is cursed. The gifts which cursed people will lose to a bishop are gifts which are from other people and not directly from God.

If you are thinking that the gifts which are from other people are not as useful as the gifts which are from God, know that gifts which are from other people are always coveted by the enemy. He has knowledge as to why he is always seeking a gift from another man. What is the difference between a gift which is from God and a gift that is from another man? A gift from another man is a gift which is used for the encouragement of that person. If a person is in a situation where he needs love, he will need encouragement from the Lord. If that person is cursed, he will not have anyone to encourage him. If he is blessed, he will have many people encourage him. If a person is thinking: can't I do without such a gift? A person who is thinking in that direction is cursed already. If you are in a place which does not have people, you are cursed to be in lonely places. If you are in lonely places, you will have the company of demons.

If a bishop is in a place, it will always have people to honour him. How do people honour a bishop? If you thought that a bishop is honoured by bowing down to him, you are deceived; a bishop is honoured by giving. What type of giving does God desire a bishop to be honoured with? A bishop is only honoured by giving which is in God’s will. If a person gives to a bishop outside God’s will, that person has sinned against God and will acquire a curse upon him. If a person gives to a bishop according to God’s will, that person will be rewarded by God. If a person gives his tithe to a bishop, he has given according to the Lord’s will. A person who gives his tithe to a bishop is not going to be asked to do it again. When a person tithes to a bishop, he has tithed unto the Lord. When a bishop is tithed to, he is entitled to bless the person who has tithed unto the Lord. Abraham gave all his tithe to Melchizedek, who was a bishop from God and was abundantly blessed.
