Traditionally, clerics from notable churches reveal
prophecies that may shape or mar the year as Nigerians are
ushered into the New Year. In this report CHIKA OKEKE,
writes that for 2015, while some clerics followed the tradition,
some others rather avoided making strategic prophetic
declarations for the year, opting instead to implore Nigerians
to engage in rigorous prayers for Nigeria to remain
indivisible
Dr Daniel Kolawole Olukoya – MFM
For the general overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles
Ministries (MFM), Dr Daniel Kolawole Olukoya who described
year 2015 as, “Year of Multiple Restorations and Unparalleled
Favour” for MFM members (Psalm 102:13 ; Hebrews 1:9 ; Joel
2:25), he did not present his prophetic outlook as was done in
the past. He rather highlighted what he described as, ‘42 prayer
points to tackle the year’, a situation many viewed as a
deliberate attempt to avoid making controversial statement.
According to him, “I will speak in parables. This year is going
to be a mysterious, cautious and dribbling year, so, you will
have to find the solutions instead of diagnosing the problems
carried by the year.”
“For emphasis, note that this year would require machine gun
prayers. There won’t be too much grammar/explanations but
relentless bombardment of prayers like an antidote for the
diagnosis is what is needed for the year.
“This year’s prophecies are like when you take antibiotics even
when you don’t have any symptoms, it is to proactively prepare
for and prevent what is coming. It is to counter impending
problems. To understand the year 2015 prophecies, you must
deduce or decode these prayer antidotes to know the kind of
year it portends.
“(Hosea 12:13: “… And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel
out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.”
Reeling out the 42 prayer points, he said, “By the power of the
God of Elijah, Terror MUST bury Terror this year in the name
of Jesus, I shall not be used as a sacrifice by the power in the
blood of Jesus and Vampire powers, hear the word of the Lord,
drink your own blood and eat your own flesh as it is written in
Psalm 27:2 in the name of Jesus.
Also that, ‘Harvest must meet harvest in my life this year in the
name of Jesus, My father by your ordained prophet lead me
into this year and preserve me in this year in Jesus name.
(Hosea 12:13). My father deliver me from every agenda of
destiny impotence in Jesus name, and Oh Lord, behold the
threatening of my hardened enemies and ARISE for my sake in
Jesus name.’ (Form a habit of reporting the enemy to God
regularly this year – Acts4:24-31)
He continued, “This year, evil shall bow before the good in
Jesus name, Favour must meet favour in my life this year in
Jesus name, I claim net-breaking breakthroughs by the power
in the blood of Jesus (Many children of God would experience
net- breaking breakthroughs this year), this year, my Enemies
shall die in my place in the name of Jesus, O God ARISE and
let my enemies be scattered in Jesus name, Let the padlock
from Heaven silence my silencers in the name of Jesus,
Weapons brought by the enemy to the battle-front must
BACKFIRE!!! In the name of Jesus and this year, anger of the
mother-earth, be silenced by the blood of Jesus.
Continuing, Olukoya said, “Help me O Lord NOT to major in
vanity this year in the name Jesus, this year, the sun shall not
smite me by day nor the moon by night in Jesus name, My
Rest , My Release, My Restoration: MANIFEST BY FIRE!!! in
Jesus name, This year, rebellion must dwell in dry lands in
Jesus name, This year, the Lord will perfect that which what
concerns me in Jesus name.
The clerics further enjoined Christians to regularly sing a song
of faith which goes like, “You’ve been doing Your work,
Father PERFECT Your work, You’ve been doing Your work in
my life, Father perfect Your Work” adding that they should
memorize Psalm 91 and make it their medicine.
Speaking further on the prayer points, he noted that, “This
year, let the manifestation of grace in 3-folds appear in my life,
in Jesus name; this year, O Lord, move me by fire to a new
level of GRACE in Jesus name; anointing for profitable
creativity fall upon me now in Jesus name; this year, Let the
fresh anointing of the Holy Ghost fall upon me in the name of
Jesus; let the wickedness of the wicked EXPIRE!!! in the name
of Jesus; O God Arise and over-answer my prayers this year in
the name of Jesus and my body, hear the word of the lord reject
infirmity in the name of Jesus. (Pray this ten times).
Noting that, “ This year, famine and wearying of the soul, I’m
not your candidate, therefore, Die in Jesus name; This year,
you must always carry God’s presence by always praising God
throughout this year; Laziness and procrastination must die in
your life this year; this year, we pronounce judgment on
abusers of children in any form of religious guise or otherwise;
let the resurrection power of the Lord Jesus Christ overshadow
and surround me this year, in the name of Jesus; Just as
Hezekiah was delivered and got 15 extra years of life, and the
Jews also got delivered from death through Esther, I shall be
delivered from death in Jesus name likewise Haman will not
contest with me this year in the name of Jesus.
He stressed, “The sun of my life shall not listen to the voice of
witchcraft in the name of Jesus; God shall make the right
people to help me at the right time and at the right place in
Jesus; O Lord, pass through the land in violent anger and slay
the wicked who has made covenant with bad spirits to destroy;
the period of mercy for the WICKED IS OVER!!!; O God Arise
and judge every proud and arrogant leader this year, in the
name of Jesus and Lord, when I pass through the water and
flood, physically and spiritually, they shall not overflow me, in
the name of Jesus.
He concluded by reeling out fifteen D’s that would stand
against the year as, “deceit, delay, defilement, despair,
disobedience, disbelief, distraction, dishonesty,
disappointment, discouragement, discord, doubts, double-
mindedness, deadness and deafness.
Pastor T. B. Joshua – SCOAN
Also, the general overseer of Synagogue Church of All Nations
(SCOAN), Pastor Temitope Balogun Joshua during the candle
light vigil held in honour of victims of the church building
collapse in Lagos and which to usher in the New Year
deliberately avoided his yearly prediction.
While declaring Year 2015 as ‘The Year of Good Morning’, he
tactically said the troubles in year 2014 might spill over to
2015 if Nigerians failed to live holy life.
“If you are expecting a New Year, you must be pure in heart, if
not, the troubled year of 2014 will continue in 2015. No matter
what this New Year brings, if you are more of God, your trials
are the soil in which your faith will flourish.
According to him, “The freedom the Bible speaks of in John
8:36 is spiritual not physical, this liberation of your spirit is all
you need to have the best year,”
“You just need a Word from God to change the course of your
life. God said, “I should give you the Word – Good Morning.
Instead of saying: ‘Happy New Year’, say ‘Good Morning’.
2014 was the afternoon but now we are going to the morning.
This Word is anointed”, he concluded.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye- RCCG
However, the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church
of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye divided his prophesy
into four segments such as individual, international, RCCG and
Nigeria.
For individual, he said; “Those who fasted for 100 days last
year, the Lord says the harvest for the 100 days fast will be
given this year; Daddy says this year will be full of testimonies,
those who have none before will have this year; Daddy says
some of you will swim in the river of abundance this year;
Daddy says there will be miraculous completion of projects;
Daddy says there will be fulfillment of dreams; Daddy says
there will be miraculous restoration and Daddy says the song
of many will be – The Lord has been good to me.”
Adeboye noted that scientific and medical breakthroughs will
be many, particularly in the areas of insomnia- lack of sleep,
dreams and brain disorders at the International level adding
that Ebola Virus Disease would die out.
“Daddy says all over the world insurgencies will be
considerately weakened. He asked us to pray against massive
calamities and He also asked us to pray against massive
earthquakes, strong hurricane and typhoons
Speaking further on the expectation for RCCG members, he
added, “This year all you need is to charge your batteries by
fasting for 40 days only. Those of you who want to fast
continuously 20 days and 20 nights will cover the 40 days. If
you miss one day, you have to cover it with two days
For Nigeria, he said, “By the end of the year – you will say all
is well that ends well
Bishop David Oyedepo – Winners Chapel
The year 2015 will be a year with clear distinctions, “the GO of
Living Faith Church Worlwide (Winners Chapel), Bishop
David Oyedepo said this during the closing day for 2014
Annual Shiloh Convocation in Ota, Ogun State.
He maintained that giants would rise up in all sectors of human
endeavour adding that there would be a sudden rise of giants in
Zion.
“In 2015, nobody will doubt those who serve God; It will be
clear that we are only in the world, not of the world; in 2015,
my God will wipe away all your tears; There shall be no
occasion for mourning or weeping; Throughout 2015, you are
not permitted to bury anyone in your life because there shall be
no more death; in 2015, some things that cause you sorrow will
be far from you and in 2015, you will not need any medication
to be healthy.
Also that, “Your night season is over; God will be all you need
for triumphant life, victorious living all through 2015; There
shall be a rise of many giants – giants in all sectors of human
endeavor; Men like nations will rise in the year 2015; Men that
will command attention of many nations shall arise in 2015 and
God has brought us into the realm of heaven on earth, where
men will live like angels.
Pastor William Kumuyi – Deeper Life
The General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church,
Pastor William Kumuyi did not release fresh prophecy for the
New Year. Earlier in December during a media briefing ahead
of the Deeper Life Bible Church three-day crusade at
Eiyenkorin in Ilorin, Kwara State he regretted that Nigerians
misunderstood the power of prophesy insisting that Nigeria
remains an indivisible entity.
“Sometimes people misunderstood the power of prophecy and
there are people who will make negative pronouncements.
Pronouncements are not necessarily prophecies. Every
utterance on Nigeria breaking up is a pronouncement made
from observations and not prophecies.
“I believe those who made those pronouncements based on
some things they see or feel should say ‘they feel Nigeria may
break up’ and not that God said that. Because if God could hear
the voice of only Moses and spared Israel and they still exist
over 3,000 years after, then God loves Nigeria and would not
allow it to break up.
He concluded by saying that, “God has a purpose for Nigeria.
When people talk of division, the truth is that once you start
the process, it never ends. Once you say, ‘people in the North,
go your way and those in the South, go your way,’ there are
other people who will also rise up to say they too want to go
their own way even within you. You know what happened in
the 1960’s; several sides will begin to be asked to go away but
I know that God has a purpose for bringing Nigeria together
and we shall remain one.”
