If the tankers are still parked at Iganmu bridge, costain to Lagos Island bridge, western avenue to Lagos Island then they have not fuly complied.

The number of trucks and tankers on Lagos roads are too many, they are trying to match up with the number of cars.

Question: "How do we identify a false prophet?"

Answer: The ultimate challenge in spiritual discernment is to put to the test those people who claim they are, as the Apostle Peter described, "holy men of God who spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21). Did they really receive messages from God about the future?

Let's find out!

First, there are the rules. No prophetic predictions can be considered that are open-dated, meaning prophecies that have no certain time frame in order to be fulfilled. None of the prophecies can be self-fulfilling. And, none of the prophecies can be dependent upon conditions. Only prophetic predictions that are close-dated and unconditional can be accepted as true prophecy.

Signs of the End Times

Jesus in His Olivet Discourse warned that in the end times false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive. Three times in Matthew 24 Jesus made that warning. Therefore, Jesus' number one sign that would point to His soon return was that there would be a proliferation of false prophets. He warned, "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves" (Matthew 7:15).

These false prophets would multiply as the Church fell deeper into spiritual apathy (Revelation 3:14-22). The Apostle Paul described this as a time when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3).

Put to the Test

Moses provided the test. A true prophet can be distinguished from a false prophet based on the accuracy of their prophecies.

"You may say to yourselves, 'How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?' If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him" (Deuteronomy 18:21-22).

Therefore, a prophet of God has to be accurate 100% of the time.

By Any Other Name

Besides the test of a prophet's predictions having to come true 100% of the time, a second test was provided by the Apostle John (1 John 4:1-3). In order to test the spirits, so to speak, the prophet has to acknowledge that for Jesus Christ to have come from God, He must have first come in the flesh. A true follower of Jesus acknowledges that the Son of God came to earth as a man in the flesh.

Potpourri

There are other types of tests that can be given to discern a false prophet. Notice if:

The prophet also speak in the name of Allah or Maitreya or Vishnu, and not necessarily the God of the Bible (Deuteronomy 13:1-3).
The prophet tells you that you can be saved by putting your faith in people other than Jesus, such as Mary, the mother of Jesus (Galatians 1:cool.
The prophet lives a sinful life not committed to holiness (Jeremiah 23:14-15).
The prophet's followers are motivated by worldly living and do not produce spiritual fruit (Matthew 7:15-16,18; Galatians 5:22-23).
The prophet focuses on self-aggrandizing visions about personal trips back and forth to Heaven and Hell (Colossians 2:18).
The prophet never talks about sin or makes a call for repentance (Jeremiah 23:16-17).
The prophet appears greedy for money (Jeremiah 8:10-11).
The prophet focuses on himself or the Antichrist or the sensational, and not on Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:10).
Potent Potables

Now let's put a prophet to the test! Look at the picture below of a modern-day prophet. Using the tests we've covered, identify whether he is a true or false prophet.

Joseph Smith

That is Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, better known as the Mormons. He added a whole other book to the Bible, calling it the Book of Mormon. Sure, he acknowledged that Jesus came in the flesh, but claimed that Jesus was the spirit brother of Satan! He claimed that one day we are all going to become gods. He had even made a number of dated prophetic predictions about men going on mission trips that never happened, churches to be built that never were, described battles which never took place, and even claimed the Native Americans were Jews, which they are not.

Using those biblical tests, you surely were able to spot a fox in the hen house with Joseph Smith. The tests can also be used for other so-called prophets.

For example, there was Charles Taze Russell who founded the Jehovah's Witnesses. He prophesied the world would end in 1914. Then there was Jeane Dixon, a psychic lady who proclaimed a woman would become president in the 1980s. And don't forget the three dates Harold Camping predicted Jesus would be coming back.

So, remember, follow these simple tests and you too can identify a false prophet and become a champion of spiritual discernment!

The Nigerian government and its military need to change their approach, this is a prove that a Nigeria need full orientation total Orientation.

This is a full bloom illiteracy.

The millitary got the best medical personnel good but the coper would have been the best for this, organise a centre where every parents bring their kids.

We have so many NGO and all.

In a sane community you see millitary on the street only if there is a problem. I have lived in my city for many years, I have not seen a soldier , I don't even know how they look, all I see is police and redcross everywhere.

Seeing a soldier first thing that comes to mind is problem.

The school teachers and stakeholders are not helping the matter as well, the social media everything needs total overhauling.

I pity Nigeria, oh Nigeria my Nigeria, where art thou?
This is not about illiteracy. There is a mistrust between the people and the military.
