Our family have given assignments to speak in the Sacrament Meeting, each of us are given different topics. Daddy was so excited and he prepared both Issac and Annabelle speeches.
Annabelle was the second speaker, she did it well too, just a little bit soft spoken on her voice. At the end of the speech, there is a children song which on the prophets of God. She asked her brother, Issac go up to the stage and sang together with her. They really were so cute ^^.
Good Morning dear Brothers & Sisters,
Today I would like to share with my topic as ‘The Prophets of God’.
A Prophets is a man of His calling as;
- God’s representative on earth. When a prophet speaks for God, it is as if God were speaking.
- Witness for Christ, testifying of His divinity and teaching His gospel.
- He receives revelations and directions from the Lord for our benefit.
- He may see into the future and foretell coming events so that the world may be warned.
We have a prophet living on the earth today. He is the President of our Church. He has the right to revelation for the entire Church and hold the keys of the Kingdom, he has the authority to direct the entire Church and Kingdom of God on earth, including the administration of priesthood ordinances. Therefore, His burdens are heavy, we raise our hand to sustain the prophet and he need to be strengthened by the prayers of the Saints.
We should follow his inspired teachings completely. We should not choose to follow part of his inspired counsel and discard that which is unpleasant or difficult.
Hereby, I would like to quote President Marion G. Romney’s story as reported in Conference, October 1960:
“I remember years ago when I was a bishop I had President Heber J. Grant talk to our ward. After the meeting I drove him home. Standing by me, he put his arm over my shoulder and said: “My boy, you always keep your eye on the President of the Church and if he ever tells you to do anything, and it is wrong, and you do it, the Lord will bless you for it.” Then with a twinkle in his eye, he said, “but you don’t need to worry. The Lord will never let his mouthpiece lead the people astray.” In D&C section 21: verse 4 & 5 testify that; “For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith”, Amen.”
We have to be Obedience to the Prophet and great blessings will be given by the Lord, In order to stand, the true Church must be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, our Savour himself being the chief corner stone. We are blessed in this insecure world to have a prophet through whom the Lord reveals His will.
I pray humbly to Heavenly Father, given all the blessing to my family and all my beloved church brothers and sisters and share these in the name of our Savour Jesus Christ, Amen.
Follow with me & my brother would like to sing one verse of Follow the Prophet;
“Now we have a world where people are confused.
If you don’t believe it, go and watch the news.
We can get direction all along our way,
If we heed the prophets-follow what they say.
Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; don’t go astray.
Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; he knows the way.”
