What is this reward? Prophets accurately hear, speak, and see. Is it honor and position? No, we see prophets without honor, especially among those closest to them. Matthew 10:41 admonishes, 'He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward.' What is 'a prophet's reward'? Is it financial success? We don't see biblical prophets abounding in material success. Many, fed up with hype and superficial ministry, are ready to receive the true prophetic message. Yet often this office is reduced to merely one who predicts the future by a word of knowledge or wisdom rather than a declaration of the church's true condition. God is restoring the prophetic ministry to turn the heart of His people to Him.
