Revelation: The act of disclosing or discovering to others what was before unknown to them; appropriately, the disclosure or communication of truth to men by God himself, or by his authorized agents, the prophets and apostles. Websters 1828 dictionary
God had a specific revelation for the generation that Paul preached to and He also has a specific revelation for this generation. Whatever the age there is a particular agenda that God is working on, and accordingly His revelation will define and shape what He wants His people to be doing. If for example we are to see the return of Christ then He will prepare us to walk in that, if we are to continue to occupy and build the Kingdom on earth for another millienia then so be it but His revelation will speak to that, and guide us with all wisdom.
The apostles and prophets were given this special revelation back in the first century. Now in the latter days the prophets and apostles do not have the titles as such we do have people in the body of Christ with these abilities.
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
APPLICATION
I need to be open to the Lord giving me revelation or to be open to someone in the body expressing revelation.
Prov 29:18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.
