Who we go believe like this?

The post shares a meme juxtaposing two Nigerian pastors' prophecies for 2026—one foretelling food abundance, the other hunger—captioned in Pidgin English to express bewildered amusement at the contradiction.

This highlights a staple of Nigerian social media culture, where annual prophecies from charismatic leaders like those from RCCG and Winners' Chapel often clash, sparking viral memes and debates on faith versus scepticism.

With over 2,900 likes and 1,000 replies, the thread reveals public preference for optimistic interpretations, as users joke about selective belief amid economic anxieties in Nigeria.

The yoruba's own is fake

A soothsayer claims to see the future

Someone said believe your pastor and Ignore the other, but what if both of them are my pastor?

MaxInDHouse:
Good question!

When Jesus said:

b]"Many false prophets will arise and mislead many" Matthew 24:11[/b][

He was talking about different religions claiming they are worshiping the same God just as it happened in the days of Elijah, 450 prophets of Baal claimed they are worshipers of the only true God who sent Moses.

Do you think they worship in the same center?

NO!

Each of them has his or her center where people gather to worship with them but they all had one thing in common: they are calling Baal and using the same system of worship though there are slight differences in their mode of worship which prompted 99% of Israelites to embrace the false worship as each person will find the one he or she preferred.

Today all these people claim they are worshiping the same God: JESUS!
But are they teaching the truth?
NO! They are targeting followers hence teaching what appeals to many people all in the name of Jesus! Matthew 15:8-9 compare to Matthew 7:21-23

So if you want to know the truth pray to the God of heavens and beg Him to send His worshipers to you in your home {Act 8:26-36 compare to Matthew 10:11-13} they will surely come but you may not like their system of handling sacred service because it's not the common one you are used to. Luke 21:17; John 17:14

We are fulfilling the prophecy that's revealed in God's word regarding the end time and we have formed a global family of peace loving worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} even in this period when people are hating, fighting and killing themselves due to racism and politics {Revelation 6:3-4} and just as Jesus foretold LOVE remains among us globally and everyone can testify! John 13:34-35

martinskelly:
Are you saying that there is truly no real men of God?

If you say they are soothsayers, it means you believe that they use magical powers to tell the future; then why can't i believe that there is power above there's even if you tagged them "soothsayers".

SarcasticWords:
Or maybe both are fake. After all, your God has said he is not an author of confusion.

Dtruthspeaker:
Do their future tellings work? I have never seen any work.

martinskelly:
With an empirical mind, it works!

Dtruthspeaker:
What mind is needed to determine if a prediction works?

It is either we see it come happen or it did not happen. And I stand witness to say they never happened.

It is things like these that makes people wonder who truly serves God after all the churches raised up.

The bible is very clear as Truth is very clear. A thing is either there or it is not there

martinskelly:
a mind clustered with fallacies.
But one thing i know for certain is that, there is evil and there is God.

Dtruthspeaker:
What fallacies when you are the one who raised that mind is needed to confirm whether an event happened or not?

Then, you are now adding "there is evil and there is God" when no one said anything about this.

And in your saying all this, do you not see that you prove that both you and your church and your pastors are all liars?

And definitely you people are not Christians.
The Truth is very clear. A thing is either there or it is not there.

martinskelly:
This was your first quote "Do their future tellings work? I have never seen any work".

I only answered based on the fallacies people that predict the future tells, I never mentioned any pastor or church in my reply to you.

There is is evil and there is God" was my own personal summation and not for you to just conjoin things out of the blues.

This people sha, una go just dey assume things anyhow o.

Dtruthspeaker:
You were not clear naa. I thought you were trying to say that there predictions came True

martinskelly:
..So you see, we have gullible followers of the gospel (no denomination intended here) who sheepishly follows blindly without questioning the teachings of whatsoever doctrines the preachers preaches even when the truth is being revealed to them right in there face they still refuse to accept.

Dtruthspeaker:
I don't think they gullible, I think that they are just being stupily stupead

martinskelly:
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder! Who knows, maybe where they find there own "joy or peace of mind" is in a wrong doctrine.

Dtruthspeaker:
Exactly! Just like jws and catholics

martinskelly:
The coloured is saying many and not all, I must not believe every tom, dick and harry doctrines to know that God exist because the bible has explicitly stated God exist.

The few remaining ones that are not among the false prophets are still much alive and still much amongst us.

MaxInDHouse:
Why not think of how to identify the one and only true prophet of God?

If there's a problem regarding fake currency circulating won't you work towards getting to know the original one?

martinskelly:
Was i in the first place asking you to lead me to one? Abi did i tell you that i was scammed by one.
Weren't you the one that started writing Epistles even when it's clear that i wasn't asking for it. So, your illustration on how to know the true God is by using fake and original currency to convey your message to someone that is enlightened. Smh
Abi you think say I dey follow religion sheepishly.
A word on marble for you;
"If you never surrender, you no go encounter"
Have a blessed day.

MaxInDHouse:
Here is your question again:



Meanwhile you can't connect with the Bible God without first having to do with His anointed/chosen ones who are also connected to his Son.

Jesus said about people who aren't Jews:

“I pray not only for these followers but also for those who will believe in me because of their teaching." John 17:20 ERV

Paul said to Hebrew speaking Christians:

Remember your leaders. They taught God’s message to you. Remember how they lived and died, and copy their faith. Hebrews 13:7

Obey your leaders. Be willing to do what they say. They are responsible for your spiritual welfare, so they are always watching to protect you. Obey them so that their work will give them joy, not grief. It won’t help you to make it hard for them. Hebrews 13:17

So my friend you can't be a Christian if you are not SUBMISSIVE to any organized group of teachers who are serving in place of Apostles many like you thought they can be Christians when they are not truly submissive to any organized group of teachers but they end up doing whatever pleases them all in the name of Jesus so Jesus said such humans are workers of iniquity. Matthew 7:23

WHY?

Because they failed to focus on what will benefit all believers as one family instead they are seeking only their own good which means they only pick whatever pleases them in any religion calling Jesus!🙂

martinskelly:
"believe your pastor and ignore the other"

MaxInDHouse:
That is the only scriptural thing to do!

If truthful you have a place of worship and believe in those taking the lead then whoever speaks against what they said shouldn't be a man of the same God to you unless you are double minded!

martinskelly:
Romans 8:38-39.
38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
