Many listen to their soul and wishes but not to the Lord. Human government is fallen and of men. God has given man dominion. The devil took it and men in darkness still take instructions from him. Men of the light ought to listen to the Lord to know his desire on issues. Since the prevailing system is fallen and human, it does not mean the will of God will come to pass automatically. God chooses or elects. Men do coups or rig or cheat their way into power. God does not get involved in such. In 1999 Obasanjo vs Falaye. God said Falaye. The people chose Obasanjo. It is their government and they chose the man they desired.

I always use this as my litmus test. In the realm of men, God’s will does not always prevail. In the realm of light, God’s will prevails. The world is made of people in the realm of darkness and the realm of light. And some in the realm of light are biased towards the individual preferred by the realm of darkness. Then they
begin to speak from their sight and convictions. Negating the will of God and convincing their
followers to do the same. Sentiment and prophecy go hand in hand in the spirit of manipulation. The prophet should be neutral and say the mind of God only as Samuel did. He had his sentiments but God told him not to look with eyes but dokimazo by the Spirit. This led to David being chosen. If he had been sentimental like many prophets today, he would have chosen one of David’s brothers. Samuel was a Raah! A prophet who speaks directly what God says. Nathan was a Hozeh!

A prophet who establishes what God has told another prophet. It was Nathan that insisted on Solomon because Samuel already called him the Beloved of the Lord. Bathsheba also talked to him and he helped convince David to choose Solomon despite Adonijah’s antics. Refer to the class note I sent yesterday please. To be a Raah! Is to be the eyes of the Rohi, the Lord who sees. Like Hagar said “The God who
sees me” El Rohi. That’s the job of a Raah! But many prophets are Hozehs, they however establish prevailing ideas and thoughts and leverage their reputation on such to convince and confuse people. Sometimes thinking they are right.
