In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul exhorts the Church to eagerly desire the spiritual gifts, but especially to desire prophecy. Prophecy reveals the love of God for the Body of Christ; edifies, exhorts and comforts—or strengthens—the Church; and stirs up the Church to be what God has called us to be. Let’s eagerly desire to prophesy so that we can usher the kingdom of God into our world.
