LEARNING FROM OUR FAILED PROPHECIES

.......

As I write this article, I remain in reverence towards some senior ministers in the body of Christ and out of my honour for them will leave them out of my examples but, I am even more concerned about their own false predictions due to their visibility and massive influences. However, I remember a minister I will consider a more popular contemporary of mine confidently declaring ‘I see number 2 becoming number 1’. A much younger minister described in vivid terms how an unconstitutional interim government will be installed on Handover date with Yemi Osinbajo presiding till the courts declare Peter Obi the winner and he takes over the reins of government from Osinbajo. Another minister would come out accusing the young man of stealing his prophecy and confidently boasting of the veracity of the prophecy. So detailed and persuasive was he that I was almost carried away with it till I reflected well and also made inquiries about the character. Several other charlatans and sorcerers also added their voices but mostly got it wrong except for one or two lone voices.

Today I am ashamed and embarrassed about the laughing stock we have made ourselves and our Faith in the eyes of the world. This show of shame has become a subject of newspaper articles and media conversations that are very condescending towards the church of Christ. OAM4J

I want to use this medium to plead with our ‘Prophets’ to admit their failures and apologize to the body of Christ and the nation alike. They should go further and simply learn to ‘keep quiet’ henceforth, except God clearly speaks to them. They should admit to themselves that they were moved by the flesh towards self aggrandizement and greed to tell lies in the name of the Lord as prophecies. If indeed they had supernatural experiences, they should admit they were deceived by demons and go for deliverance. In the name of the Lord, I plead they should stop embarrassing the body of Christ. I witnessed loads of prophetic analyses driven by emotionalism and even ethnicity. I wish I could drop the toga of a Pentecostal these days because it is in our ranks that all manners of bizarre practices and most of these fake prophecies are found. Can the fathers of the Faith who did not soil their names kindly speak out on this matter? I honour Pastor EA Adeboye for saying that God had not told him who would be president when obviously the whole world expected a prophecy from him. It was humble of him but how dignifying today.

Let us realize the world is watching and their Faith in the gospel is diminishing further and further by our false prophecies. We are hindering the cause of the gospel of Christ unknowingly. I am also concerned about how our children and grandchildren are viewing it all. Will they believe in the gospel we preach? Will they believe God truly speaks to people? Will they not be suspicious that we are hypocritical and also deceptive? Will they follow our faith at the end of the day? Let us think deeply and realize we are not under compulsion to predict anything in the New Testament. The New Testament prophet confirms the will of God but is not a guide in the sense of the Old Testament prophet. There is more dignity in our silence than our false prophecies.
