In the ninth part of an exclusive interview with Apostle Reuben Habaasa, hosted by David Okello, the man of God shared deep insights on how believers can identify a true prophet messenger, understand the role of miracles, and develop spiritual discernment in a world filled with many voices claiming to represent God.
Apostle Habaasa began by greeting God’s people and encouraging listeners to receive the message with an open heart, emphasizing the importance of seeking truth and understanding God’s purpose.
A TRUE PROPHET MESSENGER MUST HAVE A CALL, COMMISSION, AND MESSAGE FROM GOD
During the discussion, David Okello asked Apostle Reuben Habaasa how believers can distinguish between a true prophet messenger and a false prophet messenger.
Responding, Apostle Habaasa explained that a true prophet messenger is identified by three important things: a divine call, a God-given commission, and a message from God.
According to him, throughout biblical history, God’s messengers were not people who copied others but individuals chosen and sent with a specific assignment for their generation.
He gave examples of biblical figures such as Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Apostle Peter, and Apostle Paul, explaining that each carried a unique commission from God.
“A true prophet messenger has a message from God and that message is the truth for his age and commission,” Apostle Habaasa explained.
He added that false prophets often imitate others because they lack a genuine divine calling.
MIRACLES ALONE DO NOT PROVE SOMEONE IS FROM GOD
Addressing the issue of miracles, signs, and wonders that many people associate with prophets today, Apostle Habaasa cautioned believers against using miracles as the only measure of determining whether someone is truly sent by God.
He explained that miracles, prophecies, and wonders alone cannot confirm whether a person is a true prophet messenger because even false prophets can perform signs and wonders.
“You do not know a prophet messenger through his miracles, prophecies, or wonders. You know a true prophet messenger by the righteousness of God upon him,” he said.
The man of God emphasized that the evidence of a true servant of God is the grace of God working through their life, including God’s love, favor, and divine purpose being manifested.
He referenced biblical examples of people who carried messages from God without performing miracles, including Isaiah and Jeremiah.
He also highlighted examples of individuals who performed supernatural acts but were not true servants of God, showing that spiritual discernment is more important than outward displays.
BELIEVERS MUST TEST EVERY SPIRIT
Apostle Habaasa encouraged believers not to accept every message or spiritual claim without examination.
Quoting the importance of spiritual testing, he explained that believers must seek understanding and allow the Holy Spirit to guide them in discerning what is from God.
He noted that everything existing on earth can provide a lesson, whether good or bad, if approached with wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Using biblical examples, Apostle Habaasa explained that even the actions and strategies of Satan recorded in scripture can teach believers about deception and spiritual warfare.
He pointed to the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, where Satan quoted scripture, emphasizing that knowledge of the Word must be accompanied by spiritual understanding.
SIN IS ALSO A MATTER OF HUMAN CHOICE
In his concluding message, Apostle Reuben Habaasa addressed the issue of sin and personal responsibility.
He explained that while Satan influences and takes advantage of wrongdoing, human beings were created with free will and the ability to choose between good and evil.
According to Apostle Habaasa, actions such as stealing, lying, killing, or committing immorality are decisions made by individuals rather than simply being controlled by Satan.
“Every human being was created with free will, the image of God within you to decide between good and bad,” he explained.
