You Don't Need A Title to Be Effective

Summary
In one line: You don't need a title to be effective — no one becomes a prophet unless God Himself tells them; "I'd rather be a janitor in the kingdom than nothing in the kingdom."
Key points
- "For every idle word you will answer" (Matthew 12:36) — why get in trouble with God over a title you want just to feel like something?
- A prophet needs an encounter — God gives them a unique message and perspective. "Graduating to the apostolic office" isn't in Scripture; you're either called or you're not.
- Prediction and probability are not prophecy. "You're going through a lot… you have sickness somewhere… you're stubborn" — general statements, true of everyone. Even a word of knowledge isn't necessarily prophecy.
- Results: people come from China, Taiwan, England, Australia "because if I say something, it will happen."
- Titles that change every season — pastor, prophet, bishop… "seraphim" — are about being politically correct.

My advice is this, you don't need to be a prophet to be effective. You don't need to be an apostle to be effective. Because for every idle word, you will answer for it. So, why get in trouble with God for a title that you just want to have a title because you feel like you're something, not because you know that you're something.
There is no prophet [clears throat] that becomes a prophet without God coming to tell them they are prophet. And God will give them a unique message and a unique perspective to help his people. It's not a general thing. You need an encounter. Even when you are pastor, you are an apostle, uh people are handing out uh you're graduating to the apostolic office. I've never seen that in scripture.
You're either called by God or you're not. I rather be a janitor in the kingdom of God than be nothing in the kingdom of God. So, if I can serve any position in God, I am happy. So, that should be our attitude because the idea of titles is destroying people. Because I'm seeing people calling themselves prophets and they can't help you.
They can't prophesy, they can't see, squiddly do.
They have no insight, no foresight, they don't even know how to preach. They can't convict anybody into salvation. And some people think prediction is prophecy. It's not.
Probability is not prophecy.
Me sitting online and saying, "You're going through a lot. Uh you may be you you you have sickness somewhere." That's Those are general. It's not bad. But is that really prophecy? No.
It's not prophecy. Even word of knowledge is not necessarily prophecy. So, there are people who will be like, "Uh-uh, I I feel like, you know, you're going through this. You're stubborn. You don't listen to God." Who isn't? Who can you generally say, "You're stubborn. You don't listen to God." And they say, "Yes, I I I don't I I listen to God. What are you talking about?"
Very Somewhere, somehow, we've disobeyed God in one way or another. Do you Do you understand what I'm saying? So, for me, all results Results, results, results. Let's see Jesus being glorified.
The reason why people are coming from China, people are coming from Taiwan, people are coming from England, people are coming from Australia, people are coming from every corner of the country and the world you can think of to come and see me is because Uh let me rhyme. They come to see me in CMI.
Ours.
Because I have results. If I say something, it will happen.
Yeah. No, no, good. You had Did you have a follow-up question?
No, I was You already answered it. I was going to say for those that are lying to people.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. Just be content you're serving God. You don't need a title of a prophet. I wish I didn't need to call myself a prophet. That's why some people are changing their names to It's like every season they change their titles. One one minute they're a pastor. They used to be prophet. They're pastor. Then they become a bishop. Then They're seraphim. What was
Seraphim, remember?
Oh my god. Okay, it's crazy.
It's crazy. Uh-huh. All this is to be politically correct, by the way.
