True ministry of a Prophet

If someone were to ask you 'what is the true purpose of a Prophet?'
a. To hold services and give a personal word of prophecy over people.
b. To encourage to act on their greed side of their personality.
c. To call a solemn assembly and call forth repentence.
Which answer did you give? If you chose c, you are correct. All through scriptures the Prophet's office was that of calling nations and peoples to repent, turn away from false idols.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(2 Timothy 3:16 KJV)
Some would act like that somethings in Scriptures were not written for them.
God is not mocked. He gave his secretaries to write down things that He wanted His' people to know. The body of Christ can no longer pick and choose what they will or will not obey.
We are truly living in the Book of Revelation. God saw this current situation of the church when He spoke to John. "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
(Revelation 3:14 KJV)
God looked forward through the annals of time and gave it to John to write it to the Laodiceans.
Here is what God spoke: And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
(Revelation 3:14-20 KJV).
The church is living like the Church of Laodicean. God in his' mercy is still calling for repentance. He never gives up on His' creation.
The church needs to look at itself and repent of it's greed.
There needs to be a complete turn about and a return to a message of repentence and salvation.
The church cannot afford to keep teaching the prosperity and realize that it stands naked and should be ashamed of their nakedness.
Keep up the studying and be a great soldier of the Word and the Sword of the Spirit.
