Prophets and Administration

Prayer life with the Word of God makes us rulers.

Moses

Moses is a prophet. I know Moses did not become a king but he ruled. He had a prayer life. This is was the first time that he got his face shining (in original language he got horns). Horns is a symbolic for power and authority. Its because he got two tablets of the word of God in his hand. "When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD." Ex. 34:19

Joseph

Joseph can tell you the meaning of a dream. He did not settled as a prophet. There is a need of Joseph to rule over Egypt. He became a king. "till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true." Ps. 105:19

Daniel

Daniel was a wise man in terms of Babylon and a prophet in Jewish language. Yet he became a ruler. He read Jeremiah who wrote about Babylon captivity and understood the curse. So he prayed confessing the sins of his forefathers. "in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes." Dan. 9:2
  
Read the word of God.

Prayer along with implementing God's word takes you above your situations and rule over them. Nations need you. Israel needs you, Egyptians need you and Babylon needs you. The word of God can be applied anywhere.

Laying hands

Laying hands not only help us to transfer gifts to the people, they also help us to know what they are. It helps us to know where they are in their spiritual journey. When Ribca inspired Jacob to deceive his dad Isaac, then Jacob said "my father will know me if he touches me." It's because Jacob did not have haired skin like his brother Esau. Yet Jacob managed and Isaac was deceived because he was very old and that he could not see. Knowing this Jacob developed that he would be able to know without actually seeing someone.

Later in Egypt when Joseph brought  his sons, Jacob cunningly put his right hand on Ephraim who stood at his left hand -to bless him. Though he could not see physically it's difficult to deceive him. He knew who is standing where.

Some say that they don't want to know about laying hands. After all laying hands is a help and not a bad thing. We have a thousand rupee bill here in India. It has some touch features. If you don't want to learn those features you may end up with a counterfeit bill. We are struggling with them recently. God's ways never harm us.

It also helps to heal people both physically and emotionally. It's like a balm. Sometimes God likes to touch people through our hands. Let him use your hands. Will you give your hands to him for a right cause?
