Maturity Gift: Prophet
Prophets carry the burden of God’s heart, calling the church to stay aligned with His will, character, and Word. They are truth-tellers who refuse to compromise, even when their message is unpopular. With spiritual discernment, passion for holiness, and a deep commitment to prayer, Prophets help disciples see life through God’s eyes, identifying both dangers and opportunities before they arise. They bring clarity in confusion, correction when the church drifts, and encouragement in seasons of hardship. In disciple-making, Prophets shape followers of Jesus who are spiritually alert, biblically anchored, and unafraid to stand for righteousness in every sphere of life.
