Adeboye: When I Like Being Called A False Prophet

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Friday, called for prayers to avert the prophecy of fire outbreaks this year.

Adeboye had earlier prophesied on the New Year’s Eve at his church headquarters located along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway that the international scene will record fire outbreaks, flood, storms, earthquakes, and volcanoes.

Speaking at the February Holy Ghost Service of the church tagged ‘Let there be Light II’, on Friday, the revered man of God said he would be happy to be called a false prophet if the prophecies do not come to pass.

In his words, “If there is a prophecy that has a negative connotation, a good prophet ought to pray that such prophecy will not come to pass. If it is cancelled and nothing happens, at the end of the year, call me a false prophet, I would be happy. I’m not a prophet anyway; I’m a pastor. But if what God told me should come to pass, how will Nigeria cope?

“A prophet will be anxious that everything he says will come to pass. A pastor will care less. At the beginning of this year, you heard me say that the Lord said that on the international scene, there would be fire outbreaks, flood, storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, that what we saw in the past was child’s play. If you follow the news all over the world, you can see what is already happening.

“I told you at that time that Nigeria is part of the international scene; we are part of the world. If you look at what happened in January, just one month, the number of fire outbreaks, houses burnt, markets burnt, government houses burnt, fire outbreaks near this airport and that airport.

“If the Lord says we haven’t seen anything yet, then we need to pray.

“In Nigeria, we don’t even have the means to cope with any serious fire outbreak. We don’t have the equipment to deal with any major flood. We don’t even have anything to handle a major storm. If all of a sudden, the ocean should come in, where will our people in Lagos go?

“I’m going to ask you to join me in praying that this aspect of the prophecies be cancelled. Father, have mercy on Nigeria. No fire outbreaks, Lord. No storm, please Daddy. Have mercy oh Lord. Have mercy on us.”
