Pastor Adeboye's prophecies for 2016 are no different from his previous ones - he has managed to keep everything fuzzed up and has avoided being specific so as not to incriminate himself in the future. However, there is one item on his list that requires scrutiny because I believe it shows Pastor Adeboye to be a manipulative person. I shall return to this in a moment.

Pastor AdeboyePastor Adeboye

First, let us build a quick picture of the man. Pastor Adeboye is probably the most influential pastor in Nigeria. His church has branches in almost 100 countries around the world, with an estimated 14,000 churches in Nigeria alone. The Redeemed Camp is responsible for perennial traffic congestion on the Lagos-Ibadan motorway because of where it is situated and the sheer size of the congregation that worships there. Whether the church has done enough to forestall this problem and alleviate the sufferings of road users is a subject for another day. Pastor Adeboye's fund raising methods are a cause for concern. He announced plans in 2013 to build a church auditorium of approximately 3km in length (http://dailypost.ng/2013/08/14/three-kilometer-auditorium-angry-nigerians-blast-adeboye-say-n1billion-per-person-donation-is-criminal/). To fund the project, he told his followers: "We need N1 billion from ten people . . . We also need N100 million from those who can afford it. Please see my secretary." How many hard-working people with unquestionable source of income would dole out money on a project like that which will not yield any returns for them? This behaviour encourages corruption - the thieves who steal our commonwealth will see this as an act of buying penance from God. Pastor Adeboye is importunate - he never tires of using mental gimmicks to persuade his members to give him money. Only last month, he was reported to have told them: "Let me tell you the truth, the only reason we still take offerings is to get you out of poverty. When you give offerings you’re sending money to heaven." A few years ago, he claimed that he drove his car without fuel from Ore to Lagos to a thunderous applause from his congregation. It beggars belief that anyone would believe this story. To complete the picture, take a look at his 2015 prophecies and decide for yourselves whether he made any ground-breaking predictions or if he just played safe by refusing to make specific statements. (https://secure.saharareporters.com/2015/01/02/end-year-prophecies-ijabla-raymond#.VKbHn0sJtN4.wordpress). Notice that he had prophesied: "Daddy (referring to God) says all over the world insurgencies will be considerately weakened." The terrorist activities of jihadi groups like ISIS, Boko Haram (BH) and al-Shabab in 2015 do not support this prediction. This observation alone completely invalidates his claim of speaking the mind of God.

Let's return to the 2016 prophecies which can be found on the church's website: http://rccg.org/prophesies-for-year-2016/. Pastor Adeboye prophesied that, "a new sexually transmitted disease will surface." But he does not disclose that he received this revelation from newspapers and medical journals. British researchers announced late last year the discovery of a "new" sexually transmitted disease (STD) called mycoplasma genitalium (http://www.nhs.uk/news/2015/11November/Pages/New-sexually-transmitted-infection-MG-may-be-widespread.aspx). It is worth noting that pastor Adeboye does not give the name of the new STD and its causative organism like researchers always do. Does God whom he claims to speak for not know this information? Why does he not specify where, how and when the disease will surface? How bizarre for an omni-benevolent God to announce the emergence of a new disease but not the cure? Curiously, God was also silent about BH and the abducted Chibok girls, the fall in the price of crude oil and its effect on our economy, the agitation for the state of Biafra, climate change, the conflict in Syria. Pastor Adeboye's prophecies portray God as someone who is always silent on the issues with real implications for our daily existence. That, of course, is based on the assumption that God exists and that He speaks to the pastor. I could never understand how someone can know the mind of an entity they cannot even prove exists. What is obvious is that pastor Adeboye, like the rest of his fellow prophets, relies on the BBC, CNN and other news media to formulate his prophecies.
The reason this situation bothers me is because literally tens of millions of Nigerians believe that God speaks through this man. Accordingly, the choices they make in life are guided by every word he speaks. Collectively, Adeboye and his fellow pastopreneurs have turned a generation of Nigerians into magical thinkers and have destroyed critical thinking. Even our universities and other centres of learning are not immune from their destructive influence - believe it or not there are professors who believe that prayers can make a car drive without fuel just as pastor Adeboye proposed; that diseases can be caused by evil spirits; that witches and wizards are responsible for infertility; and so on.

Thankfully, the days of lying to Nigerians are drawing to a close. Information is the greatest weapon against ignorance, fear, superstitions and exploitations. Nigerians now have access to the internet and can easily cross check facts. By this time next year, we would know if a new STD has been discovered and if indeed God speaks to pastor Adeboye.

#gbam. One bottle of cold big stout for u.

They av put him(adeboye) second to God. Brainless people. They are so sheepish that they bliv everything that comes out of his mouth. Politicians even come to campaign in his church otherwise he wouldn't recognize their presence by putting them on the high table when they come to his church for prayers. I read all men r equal before God, but not in Nigerian religious set ups.

Nigerians in general have a lot of false prophets.
And Adeboye is coming out as one of them.
[/size]
Isn't it Adeboye of Redeemed that prophesied that there will be a new Sexual Transmitted Disease discovered this year 2016?
But this was already done late 2015.
So this is not prophecy but with fore knowledge.

The new STD called "Mycoplasma Genitalium" was discovered late last year 2015.

This year Adeboye added it as a prophecy for 2016 for what happened 2015

[size=14pt]Now for the Natural Disasters he spoke of, the whole of UK & America are suffering it from last year.
So how can this be prophecy?[/size]

Also major war he spoke of is with between Russia & the West over ISIS & Ukarine.
This is going on from 2015

So how can this man call them prophecies

WE CAN ALL SEE THAT ADEBOYE IS FAKING THESE THINGS[/size]

I cry , cry & cry when i see Nigerians that have refused to use their God given brains

wow op i just read this on facebook and wanted to post it here for us to discuss begore i saw the thread. we africans really need to stop elevating these men of god and follow our hearts. God can speak to everyone and knows all our hearts desires. we dont need to let anyone brainwash us because they want to build a magnificent edifice to prove that their church is progressing. of what use is it if your church is progressing and your members are suffering. Of what use is it if you pack all the corrupt politicians into your church and cannot preach to them to stop stealing the funds of the masses but you only pray for them to keep being in a position to steal.

Anyways all i am waiting for is to know the people wjo will donate 1 billion naira again for the new church you want to build. lets see where anyone who is sure he didnt steal public funds can affort to donate millions and billions for the new church you are planning.

One good thing about the Buhari government is that the income of pastorpreneurs will reduce. I don't see anyone donating heavily anytime soon without being invited to tea by the EFCC.

The Present GO of RCCG is neither a Prophet nor an Impostor. All that he has said in the Text is a Premonition and Foresight of a man of God in Christ Jesus. Adeboye is an Apostle of Christ Jesus anointed by the Prayers of our Lord in St. John s . Gospel Chapter 17..
