Prophetic & Apostolic Ministry (BC-207)

About this course

This course is an introduction to both prophetic and apostolic ministries.

God speaks! The course helps the believer understand the prophetic realm and the way God has communicated throughout the Bible. God desires to speak to us. Understanding the prophetic realm and the way God speaks will help us receive what God is saying now. Every believer can hear God for themselves and minister the prophetic word to others. We can minister the prophetic based on the grace available to us. The course will help in hearing God better personally and serve others effectively.
It covers the operation of the prophetic in the form of the prophetic word, song, intercession etc. It also helps the believer develop a strong foundation for personal interpretation of prophecy as well as to minister the prophetic to others. The course also sheds light on the prophetic church and its impact. It awakens us to the significance of hearing the voice of God.

The course also covers apostolic ministry as presented in the Bible. The believer is encouraged to be a representative of God and bring the Kingdom of God wherever positioned. It provides a good understanding about the office of a prophet, the impact of the apostolic on nations and the development of apostolic churches. Apostolic ministry is about representing the God who sends us. Every believer is called to be a representative of the Kingdom of God impacting culture and bringing transformation. God has also given apostles who lead the change and take new territories as empowered by the Holy Spirit. Increasingly, churches and ministries are growing in the understanding of the apostolic and making a difference in their regions.
