In this lesson we will learn what a
prophet is, why prophets were so
important to God's people, and how they delivered God's
message.
🤔 Think about this:
If an important leader wanted to pass a message to many
people, would they go to every single person one by one
— or would they choose trusted
messengers?
Now think about God. If God wanted to
speak to His people, who would He use?

📖 What Is a Prophet?
A prophet is a person chosen by God to
deliver His message to the people.
A prophet does not speak his own ideas.
He speaks what God wants people to
hear.
💡 Word Tip:Prophet — a
messenger chosen by God to deliver His message.
🗣️Chosen by God
📣Delivers God's
message
🚫Not his own words
⭐ Why Were Prophets Important?
Prophets helped people remain close
to God. They were important because they:
🙏Reminded people to stay
faithful to God
⚠️Condemned people for their
sins
🔔Warned about God's
punishment
🔮Foretold future
events
📢Preached the word of
God
So, prophets helped the people know
what God expected from them.
📨 How Did They Deliver Messages?
Prophets delivered God's message in
three main ways:
🎤Sermons Speaking to people
directly
🤸Behaviour Actions as a
message
✍️Written
Words Recording God's
message
Sometimes prophets stood and spoke,
sometimes their actions were the message, and
sometimes they wrote what God had told them.
📖 The Story of God's Messengers
🏺 Imagine the Israelites long ago…
People were sometimes not faithful to
God. Some worshipped idols. Some treated the poor
unfairly. Some ignored God's commandments.
Because of this, God sent prophets to
speak to them. Through these prophets, God
warned, corrected, and guided
His people.
So when a prophet spoke, the people were expected to
listen carefully — because the message was from
God.
