Lots of people said to me,Sir how do I know if am called to be a prophet, Seer or Prophetess?
In our mentorship class, I thought them over ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป'๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ต๐ฒ๐, ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ or ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐๐ & ๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด,๐๐ผ๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ฐ๐น๐ฎ๐๐..
But here am going point out few of them... But before then, you must understand that the calling of God upon a man is not by wasting a full bottle of olive ๐ซoil on his head etc.
Is not by the numbers of men of God that told you that etc....
In the Bible, a senior prophet deceived a young prophet with Thus says the Lord after God spoke to him & gave in instructions....
The same senior prophet prophesied his death after he deceived him. So the calling of God is not by numbers of men of God that have prophesy to you.
Some of them Prophe-lied ...
The calling of God is not by what you see,heard or perceived etc.
The calling of God as a prophet of God is by ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก, ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก & ๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก.
So prophets are ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐, ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐, ๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ข๐๐ก๐ง๐๐ & ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ง๐ข ๐ข๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ก ๐ง๐๐๐ง ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐.
Back to the question,
How do I know if am called to be a prophet of God?
This is not a light question. โ๏ธ
Because being prophetic is one thingโฆbut being called as a Prophet of God is something much weightier.
๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฃ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฆ ๐ก๐ข๐ง.
๐ญ. A prophet is not just someone who has dreams in the night hours . ๐
๐ฎ. A prophet is not just someone who feels things deeply.
๐ฏ. A prophet is not just someone who can discern spirits, sense atmospheres, or give an accurate word. ๐๏ธโ๏ธ
Those things may be prophetic giftsโฆ
but the call of a prophet goes much deeper. ๐
๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฃ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฆ.
๐ญ A prophet is divine elected, selected, appointed ,anointed & called to operate in that office.
๐ฎ.A prophet carries the burden of the Lord & that of the people.
๐ฏ.A prophet feels what God is saying when others are ignoring Him. ๐ญ
๐ฐ. A prophet is often marked before they are understood. ๐ฆ
๐ฑ. A prophet is often trained in hidden places before they are trusted in public. ๐ต๐ฅ
๐ฒ. A prophet are rejected, isolated & bear burdens alone... They live lonely life etc.
Jeremiah heard the Lord say:
โBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.โ
- Jeremiah 1:5 ๐๐ฅ
Notice something powerfulโฆ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ Jeremiah did not appoint himself.
God called him. ๐
That is the first sign. ๐๏ธ
๐ฟ You do not choose this calling because it looks powerful. You realize Heaven has been dealing with you your whole life.
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ There are people who want a platform. ๐ค
Then there are people who cannot escape the burden. ๐ญ๐ฅ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ There are people who want a title. ๐ท๏ธ
Then there are people who tremble because they know God is requiring something from them. โ๏ธ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ There are people who want to be seen. ๐
Then there are prophets who spend years feeling unseen, misunderstood, corrected, crushed, refined, and trained in secret. ๐ต๐ฅ๐ ๏ธ

God told Jeremiah, โBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you.โ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ Jeremiahโs call did not begin when people recognized him.It began before he was ever born. ๐ถ๐ฅ
But Jeremiah felt unqualified.
He said, โAh, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.โ
- Jeremiah 1:6
God did not say, โFind someone more confident.โ
God said, โDo not say, โI am a youth,โ for you shall go to all to whom I send you.โ
- Jeremiah 1:7 ๐ฏ
Then God touched his mouth and said:โBehold, I have put My words in your mouth.โ
- Jeremiah 1:9 ๐ฅ๐
That is prophetic calling.
๐ญ. God ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ you
๐ฎ. God ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ you
๐ฏ. God ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ you
๐ฐ. God ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ you
๐ฑ. God ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ you.
๐ฒ. God ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ you.
๐ณ. God ๐ฝ๐๐๐ His word in your mouth.
๐ด. God ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ with your fear.

Moses was not called from a palace.He was called from the backside of the desert. ๐ต๐ฅ
God met him through a burning bush and said: โCome now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My peopleโฆ out of Egypt.โ
- Exodus 3:10 ๐๐ฅ
But Moses felt weak.
He asked, โWho am I that I should go?โ- Exodus 3:11
God answered:
โI will certainly be with you.โ
- Exodus 3:12 ๐๏ธ
This is important.
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ The call of God is not built on your confidence.It is built on His presence. ๐ฅ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ Moses did not feel ready.
Jeremiah did not feel ready.
Many true prophets do not feel ready. ๐ญ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ But God does not call the prepared.He prepares the called. ๐ ๏ธ๐ฅ

Samuel was just a boy serving in the house of the Lord Under the leadership & Prophetic Mentorship of Eli when God called his name. ๐ฆ๐ฏ
โSamuel! Samuel!โ
And Samuel answered,
โSpeak, for Your servant hears.โ
- 1 Samuel 3:10 ๐๐๏ธ
That is another sign of the prophetic call.
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ A prophet must become a listener in the secret place efore becoming a speaker in public. ๐๐ฅ
Samuelโs first assignment was not easy.God gave him a hard word concerning Eliโs house. โ๏ธ
That shows us something serious:
Sometimes God will test whether you fear Him more than people.
Sometimes the first word is not popular.
Sometimes obedience costs comfort. โ๏ธ๐ฅ
But Samuel grew, and the Bible says:
โThe Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.โ
- 1 Samuel 3:19 ๐๐ฅ
That is fruit.
That is confirmation.
That is God backing what He called. ๐

Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up.He saw the holiness of God.
He saw the uncleanness of his own lips. ๐ญ๐ฅ
He cried:
โWoe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips.โ
- Isaiah 6:5 ๐
Before Isaiah said, โSend me,โ God purified him. A coal touched his lips. ๐ฅ๐
Then the Lord said:
โWhom shall I send, and who will go for Us?โ And Isaiah answered:
โHere am I! Send me.โ
- Isaiah 6:8 ๐ฏ๐ฅ
That is another sign.
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ A true prophetic call does not just give you a message.
๐ญ.It confronts your mouth.
๐ฎ. It purifies your heart.
๐ฏ. It brings you low before it sends you high. ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฅ

Ezekiel saw powerful visions of God.
But he was not called to entertain people with revelation.
He was called to speak what God commanded. ๐๏ธ๐ฏ
God told him:
โSon of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.โ
- Ezekiel 3:1 ๐๐ฅ
That is deep.
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ Before Ezekiel spoke the word, he had to eat the word. ๐๐ฅ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ A prophet cannot just repeat information or entertain people etc.
๐ญ.The word must get inside them first.
๐ฎ.It must become part of them.
๐ฏ. It must shape them before they release it. ๐๏ธ
That is why many prophets go through seasons where God makes the word personal before He makes it public. ๐ต๐ฅ

Amos was not trying to build a prophetic reputation.
He was not chasing a title.
He said:
โI was no prophet, nor was I a son of a prophet, but I was a sheepbreeder and a tender of sycamore fruit. Then the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me, โGo, prophesy to My people Israel.โโ
- Amos 7:14-15 ๐๐๐ฅ
This is powerful.
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ
๐ญ. Amos was working.
๐ฎ. Amos was hidden.
๐ฏ. Amos was ordinary in the eyes of people.
Then God took him. ๐
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ A real call does not need a stage to begin.
๐ญ. God can find you in the field.
๐ฎ. God can find you in the workplace.
๐ฏ. God can find you in the wilderness.
๐ฐ. God can find you while you are simply being faithful. ๐ฟ๐ฅ

Elisha was plowing in the field when Elijah came and threw his mantle on him.
- 1 Kings 19:19 ๐งฅ๐ฅ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ Elisha was not sitting around doing nothing like many of us who claimed God called them nowadays & use it as an excuse..
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ God didn't called him because he was frustrated in business like many of us ascribing frustration to be God's calling.
He was working.
He was serving.
He was found faithful in the field. ๐๐พ
When the mantle came, Elisha left his old life behind and followed Elijah.
- 1 Kings 19:20-21
That shows us something:
A prophetic call requires surrender.
๐ญ.It will interrupt your plans.
๐ฎ.It will cost you comfort.
๐ฏ.It will pull you into training.
๐ฐ. It will require you to follow before you lead. ๐ฃ๐ฅ

The angel said John would be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his motherโs womb.
- Luke 1:15 ๐ถ๐ฅ
His father prophesied over him:
โAnd you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways.โ
- Luke 1:76 ๐๐ฏ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ But John did not grow up chasing crowds Or titles.
The Bible says:
โSo the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.โ
- Luke 1:80 ๐ต๐ฅ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ
He was Hidden later & Manifested later.
That is the pattern. ๐๏ธ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ God forms prophets in secret before He releases them in public. ๐ฅ

Deborah was a prophetess and a judge in Israel.
People came to her for wisdom and judgment.
- Judges 4:4-5 ๐๐
Huldah the prophetess was sought when the Book of the Law was found.
Kings and priests needed clarity, and God spoke through her.
- 2 Kings 22:14-20 ๐๐ฅ
This matters.
A prophetic woman does not need to become loud to be powerful.
When God has placed His word in her, Heaven backs her voice. ๐๏ธ๐ฏ

๐ญ.A real prophet is not ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ but God made.
๐ฎ. A real prophet is God-formed. ๐ ๏ธ
๐ฏ. A real prophetic call usually comes with a deep inner burden.
๐ฐ. You feel things others brush off. ๐๏ธ
๐ฑ You notice compromise that others call normal. โ๏ธ
๐ฒ. You grieve over what breaks Godโs heart. ๐
๐ณ. You can walk into a room and sense when something is spiritually off. ๐๏ธ
๐ด. You can hear a sermon, a conversation, or even a casual comment, and something in your spirit starts burning. ๐ฅ
Not because you are criticalโฆ
but because God has wired you to discern. ๐งญ๐๏ธ
๐๐๐ ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐น๐น๐:
๐ญ Discernment without love becomes judgment. โ ๏ธ
๐ฎ. Prophecy without humility becomes pride. โ ๏ธ
๐ฏRevelation without character becomes dangerous. โ ๏ธ
That is why God does not just give prophets a voice. ๐ฏHe first gives them a wilderness. ๐ต๐ฅ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ The wilderness is often the classroom of the prophet. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ฐ๐น๐ฎ๐๐.

๐ฐ. John the Baptist grew in the wilderness before he cried out in the streets. ๐ฏ

So do not despise ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ( the hidden season). ๐

The rejection. ๐
The isolation. ๐
The pruning. โ๏ธ๐ฟ
The waiting. โณ
The warfare. โ๏ธ
The misunderstanding. ๐
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ Sometimes those are not signs that you missed God.Sometimes those are signs that God is forming something in you that cannot be built in comfort. ๐ฅ๐ ๏ธ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ Another sign of a prophetic calling is warfare around ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ.
The enemy does not fight empty words. ๐ฏ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ Many prophets battle fear of speaking, fear of being wrong, fear of rejection, fear of man, and fear of being misunderstood. ๐โ๏ธ
๐ช๐ต๐?
๐ญ. Because the enemy wants your mouth closed. ๐ค
๐ฎ He wants you silent when God says speak. ๐ฏ
๐ฏ He wants you timid when God says warn. โ ๏ธ
๐ฐ He wants you offended when God says forgive. ๐๏ธ
๐ฑ He wants you bitter when God says intercede. ๐๐ฅ
But a true prophet must learn this:
๐ญ. Your mouth belongs to God. ๐๐ฅ
๐ฎ. Your timing belongs to God. โณ
๐ฏ. Your tone belongs to God. ๐๏ธ
๐ฐ. Your message belongs to God. ๐๐ฏ
You are not called to speak everything you see. ๐๏ธ
You are called to speak what God releases. ๐ฅ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ A prophet must learn restraint.
๐ญ. Just because you discern it does not mean you announce it. ๐คซ
๐ฎ. Just because you see it does not mean you expose it. ๐๏ธ
๐ฏ. Just because you feel it does not mean it is time to release it. โณ
Be always led by the spirit.
The mature prophet does not ask, โCan I say this?โ
The mature prophet asks, โLord, what are You doing with this?โ ๐๐๏ธ
๐ฐ. Sometimes God shows you something for your personal consumption so that you can pray. ๐
๐ฑ.Sometimes He shows you something so you can wait. โณ
๐ฒ. Sometimes He shows you something so you can weep. ๐ญ
๐ณ. Sometimes He shows you something so you can warn. ๐ฏโ ๏ธ
So you must be sensitive,obedient stay submitted. ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฅ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ A true prophet is not just accurate. A true prophet is faithful.Accuracy is not prove that the source is God. Satan & his cohorts etc are accurate too Acts 16:16-25
Accuracy matters. ๐ฏ But character matters more. ๐ฟ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ
๐ญ. A word can be accurate and still be delivered with the wrong spirit. โ ๏ธ

๐ฆ๐ผ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐?
๐ญ. You may be called as a Prophet of God if there has been a lifelong pattern of God dealing with you, marking you, correcting you, speaking to you, burdening you, and separating you for His purposes. ๐ฅ๐ฆ
๐ฎ. You may be called if you cannot shake the burden for truth, repentance, holiness, restoration, and the heart of God. ๐ฏ๐ญ
๐ฏ. You may be called if your life has gone through unusual preparation, unusual warfare, unusual sensitivity, and unusual dealings from the Lord. ๐ตโ๏ธ๐ฅ
๐ฑ You may be called if God keeps bringing confirmation through Scripture, prayer, dreams, godly leaders, repeated patterns, and the fruit of what He speaks through you. ๐๐๐๐๏ธ
๐ฒ You may be called if your greatest desire is not to be known as a prophetโฆbut to be faithful to the God who called you. ๐๐ฅ

And Paul said:
โLet two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.โ
- 1 Corinthians 14:29 ๐ฏโ๏ธ
๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ That means true prophetic ministry welcomes testing, humility, correction, and accountability. ๐๏ธ
๐ญ. A title does not make a prophet. ๐ท๏ธ
A mantle does. ๐ฆ๐ฅAnd mantles are not worn lightly.They are carried through surrender. ๐๐ญ๐ฅ
๐ฅ The question is not just, โAm I called?โThe deeper question is:

Lord, if You have called me, form me.
If You have spoken, teach me to obey.
If You have shown me things, teach me how to carry them with humility.
Remove pride, fear, bitterness, and the fear of man.
Give me clean hands, a pure heart, and a surrendered mouth.
Make me faithful before You ever make me visible.
Teach me to love truth without losing love for people.
Teach me to hear clearly, speak carefully, and walk humbly.
