Ex-president of the Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and General Overseer of The Redeemed Evangelical
Mission (TREM), Bishop Mike Okonkwo has advised church leaders whose prophecies
did not come to pass to apologise to the church.
Bishop Okonkwo said this in an
interview with Leadership, while speaking on Nigeria’s politics and economic
development.
He said: “Anyone who makes a
prophetic declaration let him stand by his prophetic declaration, if it didn’t
come to pass let him come and apologise to the church that he lied.
“There is nothing wrong that you
make a prophesy and out went over the bar, come to church and tell the church
that you lied.
“What annoys me is that you come
and begin to paint it, I didn’t say it this way because I said it this way,
that is nonsense. You make a prophesy, it fails, you are a human being, come to
the church and say I fail.”
Thank you Bishop Mike Okonkwo. Exactly my opinion especially where politics has been brought to the alter of prophesy.
ReplyDeleteI do know that it is God that appoint and crown all kings (Check the scriptures), and he also allowed the will of the people (with repercussions though).
However, it is not just for any man of God or prophet to choose based on opinion. Dragging the name of God into feeling and opinion on the alter should stop. That way you don't even have to apologize, since you did not prophesy at all.
God will always be God. No controversy
