life point
Deborah and Barak gave God glory for their victory over the king of Canaan (see Judges 5:1-5). Let me assure you: God uses people who will give Him the credit and the praise for their accomplishments. According to (I Corinthiansols 1:29) God will not allow a human being to boast in His presence. He will not allow us to steal His glory, which is why He chooses to use and promote those who know they are nothing without Him and who give Him the glory and the credit for all their accomplishments. Every time you success in your life, remember to give God the glory.

what about prophecy?
Throughout the Bible, we see God sending prophets to speak to an individual or a group for Him, as He did in Judges 6:8. I believe that the prophetic ministry is still operative today and that a true God-inspired prophecy can strengthen, encourage, and comfort the person who receives it (see | Corinthians 14:3).
There is a difference between a person who has a gift of prophecy and someone who is appointed to the office of prophet in the body of Christ. A prophet has a stronger word for the church at large than someone who is operating in the gift of prophecy to simply strengthen and encourage individual believers.
The Word of God encourages us to welcome divinely inspired prophecy (see S 1 Corinthians 14:1, 3, 4). Prophecy must be consistent with the Word of God, and a personal word of prophecy should confirm something that is already in your heart. If a word is truly from God, He will make it happen in His own time. Hold the prophecy in your heart and wait to see if God brings it to pass. He does still speak today through prophecy, and He will confirm prophetic words to you when they truly represent His Heart.
