Impart of prophecy.

Said a man of God: “The most amazing drama ever presented to the mind of man – a drama written in prophecy in the old Testament and in biography in the four gospels – is the narrative of Jesus the Christ. One outstanding fact, among many, completely isolates Him. It is this: that only one man in the history of the world has had explicit details given beforehand of His Birth, His life, and His death, given to the public centuries before He appeared. The inspiration for that portrait came from the heavenly gallery, not from the studio of an earthly artist. So amazing is this miracle showing the power of prophecy of the pre – written life of Christ and its perfect fulfilment in the life of Jesus of Nazareth that nothing but divine prescience could have foreseen it, and nothing but divine power could have accomplish it. As the full evidence is presented here, all thoughtful readers will agree that “prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (11Peter 1:21).

With no variations or aberrations between the Old Testament predictions of the coming Messiah and the New Testament fulfilment in Jesus of Nazareth, one instantly leaps to the conclusion that the hand which drew the image in prophecy moulded the portrait in history. The inevitable conclusion is that the Christ of the New Testament is the fruit of the tree of prophecy, and Christianity is the realization of a plan, the first outlines of which were sketched more than 1500 years before Christ’s birth. Here is the argument of prophecy in brief: no man unaided by divine inspiration foreknows the future, for it is an impenetrable wall, a true “iron curtain” to all mankind. Only an Almighty and all – knowing God can infallibly predict the future. There are false faiths like Mohammedanism and Buddhism that have tried to prop up their claims on pretended miracles, but neither these or any other religion in the history of the world, except the Bible, have ever ventured to frame prophecies.

In challenging the false gods of Isaiah’s time, the true God said, “produce your cause…bring forth your strong reasons…show the things that shall happen…declare us things for to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods” (Isa 41:21-23). It is the peculiar glory of the all – knowing God, who is “the Lord, the creator” (Isa 40:28) to declare “new things” before they spring forth” (Isa. 42:9). Here is the clear statement that shows God alone, give true prophecies: “I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and, I will do all my pleasure” (Isa. 46:9-10).

The coming of Christ through the ministry of prophets, including His Birth, perfection, work, teachings, sufferings, death and resurrection, promised in the Old Testament, through the ministry of prophets, and fulfilled in the New Testament, is the grand central theme of the Bible. Christ is the bond that ties the two together. The Old is revealed in the New, and the New concealed in the Old.

The most ordinary reader may examine the old, curios predictions of the Messiah’s person and work found in the Old Testament, follow the gradual progress of these revelations from Genesis to Malachi, and trace the prophecies as they descend into more and more specific and minute details, until at last the full figure of the coming one stands out. Then, with this image clearly fixed in his mind’s eye, he may turn to the New Testament and, beginning with Matthew, see how the historic personage, Jesus of Nazareth, corresponds and coincides in every particular with prophetic personage depicted by the prophets.

The prophetic ministry ( TPM) of The Corner Stone Brotherhood (TCSB), speaks the mind of God to His people, as in the old, and give divine directions and guide to action so that a man of God becomes perfect, fully furnished unto all good works. TPM believes that there is a divine content, a mystery, a secret of God in every saint. When that mystery is revealed, it produces a manifestation of God that will at once unveil a hidden dimension of God in the earth and causes transformation in the lives of those in Christ. Every saint has this unique and peculiar secret of this divine content, given to him at regeneration, which is mysteriously hidden and moulded together with the inner man to reflect in one’s life as the inner man is allowed to fully expose this content through Jesus Christ. It is engraved, embedded, written like a DNA code in their new creation spirits at regeneration. The spirit in you contains a divine mystery which you do not know but desperately need in order to know God as He is in the revelational knowledge of Christ, and come into a fuller revelation of why you have been called, exist, and what you are to do, and ultimately, the manifestation of Christ as you grow in every way to Him.

We must see it…and we see it!!

Every saint has a responsibility for personal development. When a saint begins to develop and mature spiritually, that divine content begins to be unveiled, revealed to and within him/her. As the saint begins to see this mystery within – in communion with God (which releases the  inner man  into dominance), the saint begins to be transformed into that which he/she sees....and thus becomes one with that mystery, and, in the true sense, reflects that mystery. – The word (that mystery containing the mind of God for the individual) was made flesh.  This revelation (mystery) produces a specific manifestation of Christ through the saint.  When this happens, such a saint

becomes relevant in the kingdom of Christ, and, without the manifestations of it, is ineffective and become spiritually barren.

TPM of TCSB, also exposes people who seek to cover their evil transactions under the profession of Christianity, etc, as the Lord affords us the opportunity. TPM helps those called but do not know which area of the ministry the Lord has called them to serve, to find where they are led, in order to be productive and effective, and use their gifts to the best value possible.(Jeremiah 42:1-4): “Then all the captains of the warriors, and Johanan…came near, and said to prophet Jeremiah: Let our supplication fall before thee: and pray thou for us to the Lord thy God…and let the Lord, thy God, show us the way by which we may walk, and the things we must do. And Jeremiah, the prophet, said to them: I have heard you: behold I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words: and whatsoever thing He answers me, I will declare it to you: and I will hide nothing from you.”(Isaiah 48:17): “Thus said the Lord thy redeemer…I am the Lord thy God that teach thee to profit, and lead thee in the way you should walk.” TPM looks with the eyes of the Spirit's discernment to see in our brethren that spark; that mystery; that greatness, and that secret, as programmed of God before the foundation of the world for the individual. (Ephesians 1:3-4): “As He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world…that has predestined us (programmed our lives in accordance with His own purposes). Without this ministry, judgements will be wrong. (2Cor.5:16) say “Wherefore, henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. Though we are in an era in which men judges by human standards like age, size of ministry apparatus, years in the faith, financial or marital status, religious popularity, etc, yet, TPM sees beyond the natural, judges after the spirit, and identifies the people of God according to the revelation of the divine content within the individual, and the degree of its manifestation as expressed, not only in the ministry, but the degree of its infusing into the entire life.

The prophetic operation of TPM, under the leadership of Pastor Benjamin Amankwaa, is to see this “divine content” and speak it out within the saints, helping the saints identify and release it into manifestation, while activating and causing it to rise up and dominate their consciousness . This will cause the saints to rise up in their uniqueness, each one a peculiar variety among the manifold manifestation of Divine wisdom through the church. TPM is mandated, as measured by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, to see and speak these things ALIVE in the saints. TPM acts as a divine catalyst that will activate, quicken, and hasten divine reactions within the saints to a high rate, and cause manifestation to come.
