Excellent and so important — especially for a seer prophet, since your gift is highly visible and often attracts attention. The line between platform-building and Kingdom obedience can get blurry.
Let’s break it down in practical, real-life examples so you can discern clearly:
✅ Examples of NOT Seeking a Platform (Healthy Stewardship)
Starting a website or ministry page because God asked you to release teaching, not because you wanted followers
Sharing a prophetic dream because the Holy Spirit prompted you, not because you wanted to “go viral”
Speaking at a conference you were invited to because you prayed and sensed the Lord’s peace, not to gain status
Hosting a Bible study to equip people in hearing God’s voice, not to show off how “anointed” you are
Using your social media to post consistent biblical encouragement and remain accountable to leaders
Quietly praying and interceding even when no one notices or applauds you
Laying low when the Holy Spirit says “Wait” even if people expect you to post or go public
Turning down opportunities if you sense a wrong motive or impure environment
Key test: You’d still do it even if no one ever recognized you.
🚨 Examples of Seeking a Platform (Self-Promotion)
Constantly posting “prophetic” words to look spiritual or get likes, rather than because the Lord truly released you to share
Feeling anxious if you’re not invited to speak or minister
Boasting about how many dreams, visions, or confirmations you’ve had, to prove your spiritual status
Sharing extremely dramatic revelations without testing or submitting them to accountability first
Building a personal brand with trendy phrases or imagery to make yourself appear more powerful
Reacting in offense if someone else is promoted or asked to preach instead of you
Pressuring people to follow your ministry, sow into you, or support you financially with manipulative language
Refusing to submit your revelations to church leadership because “they just don’t understand”
Chasing followers, numbers, and engagement as a measure of your worth
Key test: You wouldn’t do it if no one watched, applauded, or gave you attention.
✨ Simple Heart-Check for Seer Prophets:
✅ Am I motivated by obedience or opportunity?
✅ Would I keep serving God if He asked me to stay hidden?
✅ Do I feel pressured to share because of people’s expectations, or God’s leading?
✅ Is my goal to release God’s heart or gain approval?
✅ Would I be willing to let someone else carry the word if God asked?
🕊️ A Prayer for Purity in Your Calling:
“Father, guard my heart from the fear of being unseen.
Strip away pride, striving, and performance.
Let me be satisfied in obedience, even in hiddenness.
Keep my motives clean, my hands pure, and my platform Yours alone.
If You lift me up, let it be for Your glory. If You hide me, let it be for Your glory.
Amen.”
