Is Predictions The Same As Prophecies? by andelshop(op): 11:34am On Jan 08, 2020
Good day, Nairalanders!

I read through a prophecy here on Nairaland that talks about the uprising currently going on between US and IRAN. I was shocked and believe there are still prophecies, not predictions.

It baffles me to know that until now, people still confuse predictions with prophecies. The understanding of some ministers about these two different matters in their dispensation also worsens the case. Who then should I say is misled, the people or the ministers?

Whether you agree or not, predictions are not prophecies. And this message will bring you to the light of perfect understanding of what prophecy is in its nature. Repeatedly, prophecy is not in anyway the same as prediction. You might have been deceived but predictions fall the victim of human knowledge. If you make a prediction about something, you say what you think will happen. The sayer's opinion is interplayed when predictions are given. This captures the reason why it has no backing and the testimony by the Spirit because the Spirit is only available to testify the word of God, not your word. Not what you think in your imbalance state. The Spirit doesn't glorify sensuality. That's why predictions many times never come to pass.

To dispense and understand prophecies, you have to be spiritual because it's a gift from God. Prophecies are channeled through the spirit to men directly from the mind of God usually in a coded language. Prophecies are given to those who operate in the gift of prophecy and doesn't require the sayer's opinion.

The only hindrance to the prophecies is YOU. When I say YOU, I mean your self-will. If God says through His prophet or whoever has the gift that you'd be blessed before the next three days, if you don't obey the principle that's made for increase, you'd surprised to remain not blessed.

There are prophecies that do not need the influence of men to be activated.

Prophecies are encoded messages, given by God himself without human's opinion. Accessible only by His spirit. And the spirit would always backup the integrity of the message by putting the angels in charge to ensure the words come to pass. It is a gift. You don't have it if you don't.

There are dimensions that prophecies take. Prophecies are given to the stewards through whichever way best suits the spirit. Sometimes, consciously and sub consciously. Other times unconsciously. In the unconscious state, He takes over you completely (mind, body). And after you're back to your conscious state, you'd only be told what you said because you don't know. God could even communicate it to you again as a reminder.


Predictions are thoughts of men, usually long essays. Not given by the spirit and have no backup of the spirit. It is probability.

Don't be gullible!

Yes. In contemporary times, they are one and the same.

My prophesies for 2020

Nigeria is going to experience a 1 week total blackout.

I foresee bomb explosion in Maiduguri this before October.

A prominent politician will die this year.

There is going to be an automobile crash that would kill all onboard.

There is going to be multiple kidnapping in Kaduna and Kogi states.

I foresee serious flooding in Lekki this year.

Go figure.

Merely looking at these, they are direct as what is currently happening to draw basis for what is thought to be happening later. You see, there's Sayer's opinion woven to it. Having researched what's going, then recommendations are proposed. That's what many called prophecies. But it is not. Prophecies are mind of God without Sayer's opinion.

Test every word of prophecies spiritually to confirm their source.

What you have in my previous comment is what contemporary prophesies look like. They are at most, predictions arrived at after careful analysis of trends.

A prophecy is a prediction made under divine inspiration.It could be anything as obvious as there will be wars in the world this year or as imperceptible and specific as there will be a plane crash in Nigeria this time tommorow.They can serve different purposes and doesn't have to just be in proving someone could be a Prophet.Jesus himself made some rather obvious prophecies and imperceptible ones.The issue is our pastorprenuers are always giving out obvious or vague so-called prophecies...a high pointer that they're scams.

To make it short and sweet, I think predictions are thoughts by a person of future events, a guessing game if you will, like a roll of the dice with me predicting it will roll a 7.

On the other hand prophecies are messages from the Most High that are destined to happen, a warning of things to come.

It takes humility to admit that one doesn't have a gift. And unless you're given, it can't be forced. Many ministers are forcing it and I can't stop wondering. I move and stay with prophets. I understand patterns and systems of God working, movements. It is beyond guess work.[/quote]

I move and stay with prophets who truly carry substance and capacity of hosting God. These people are crude and have little or no education. I understand patterns and systems of God working, movements. It is beyond guess work.and intellect. Totally different from what men are confessing today.
