    According to William Branham, the correct answer is "1" - To be a friend with the prophet.  So how does this make sense?  Would a prophet receive a reward for God by being a friend to himself (narcissism) or by being friends to other prophets?  Where do you get that from?

    Quotes of William Branham

    ``People send and give me nice ties, shirts, socks. I was a little afraid to say anything about it from the platform. Maybe somebody thought that I was… get the wrong impression, that I was just saying it just because maybe… Oh, no. Just don't think that. But it—it's so appreciated. I just couldn't let the people do things like that, and then let me not mention it in some way. You know, some of don't even put their address on it. I couldn't say the woman's name that bought me that suit of clothes. I—I couldn't never let her—let the—the right hand… left hand know what the right hand was doing, I suppose. But I—I appreciate it from the depths of my heart. 7 And I'll say this, my dear sister, and to all you others. You never give anything to anyone in your life that appreciated it any more than I do. That's right. I do. And the Bible says, "Insomuch as you have done unto the least (That's me.) of My little ones, you have done it unto Me." He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man receives a righteous man's reward. Whosoever receives a prophet in the name of the prophet, receives a prophet's reward. Now, I trust that God will return it to you a hundredfold.[1]


    321. Brother Branham, if you have time please explain Matthew 10:41. I would like to know what is a prophet's reward?

    Well now, Jesus said, "Whosoever receive a prophet in the name of a prophet, receives a prophet's reward." A prophet's reward is to be a friend with the prophet. Whosoever receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, receives a righteous man's reward. Is that right? And if they want to know what a prophet's reward is, is to be a friend to the prophet. See? That's a reward. He's your friend. Like the Shunammite woman, it might come in handy sometime. See? It did with her. See? Watch God's servants.[2]
