This is a matter of perspective and debate. The witches' motive in revealing this might be to cause Macbeth to take the actions he will take to make the prophecy come true, thus creating havoc and turmoil in the realm. Basically, they may be simply troublemakers. But it is also possible that they are the agents of fate, who act in this way to bring about the future which was in any case foretold.

Once Macbeth finds out he is in fact the Thane of Cawdor, he begins to believe the witches' prophecies.
