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.

Dad

God doesn't need any king, prophet or the priest. A father is every thing. If every father takes care of his family right way, the whole world will go in peace. A king partially resembles God, a prophet partially resembles God and a priest partially resembles God. But a father can resemble God to the final extent. That is why we needed Jesus who had king, prophet and priest in him to resemble God the Father.

The anointing of a king can cease, the anointing of a prophet can cease and the anointing of a priest can cease but the anointing of a father will never cease, and a father is a father always. When I offend my dad, it actually offends the Father in heaven.

God made fathers. He believed them. If they could take care of their houses well, the whole world can be fine. But they failed, so floods came. What was the job of a DAD?

1. Dominion
2. Assurance
3. Divinity

After the floods, since they failed, God divided their job and made this job as three offices and gave it to the kings, prophets and priests. When Moses felt it was difficult to rule, God distributed the spirit on Moses to the 70 leaders. Ruling is a father's nature.1Tim. 3:4-5. Speaking future is a father's nature. And paying for children's mistake is also a father's nature. Job 1:5. Ultimately king-prophet-priest is his nature.

Family needs to be restored before the kingdom is restored. Mal. 4:6. Christians look for business principles in the bible rather than family principles. It is because they are more concerned of their own kingdom than the kingdom of God.

When Abraham was in Ur, God told Abraham to leave his people but not his father. Act. 7:3. So he took his father Terah with him to Haran. After his father died God appeared to him again and told him to leave his father's house. Gen. 12:1.

A disciple came to Jesus and asked if he could go to his father and bury him and come back. I don't know if his father was actually dead or he does mean that he wants to go and stay with his dad until his death. Jesus didn't say no. Or may be Jesus does mean a no. Whatever it is a "disciple" is a disciple. He was not a first admission to ask like Elisha asked Elijah. A disciple has been there and now he cannot turn back after laying hand on a plow. Luke 9:62

I leave my parents to be a part of building the  kingdom of God. But if leaving parents is the kingdom of God, then I don't want such a kingdom, because I miss my God the Father there.
