APOSTLE SULEMAN: ''Every Prophecy, A Prayer Point, A Battle''

Having a good grasp of the prophetic genre is essential for understanding the message of God through His spokesman; the prophet that is. In this teaching by the senior pastor at the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman entitled 'The Mystery of Prophecy', the gift and mystery behind prophecy are dissected and traced back to the Holy Book, the Bible.

The firebrand preacher in this special session, breaks down the topic to such an extent that any dedicated believer and new convert can understand. The topic particularly enlightens the audience and most importantly tells how to obtain the gift of prophecy so that one can fulfil God's designed destiny.

He gave the teaching first from Genesis 15:13. 

''...and He said unto Abram, 'know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not their's; and shall serve them and they shall afflict them for four hundred years...''

Following up, he read from Exodus 12:30.

''...now the sojourning of the Children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years...''

In other words, Satan, he said, added 30 years. Therefore, he warns, ''if you do nothing about prophecy, time lingers. Every prophecy is a prayer point. Every prophecy is a battle. It took the Children of Israel 430 years for the prophecy to come to pass.''

These teaching by Apostle Suleman have answered questions like; what are the things that man needs to imbibe the prophesy and how prophecy affects man's secular life, which really will change how prophecy is viewed at by believers.

Taking from Joshua's pronounced solemn oath, the servant of God cited Joshua 6:26;''Cursed before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city of Jericho: at the cost of his firstborn son he will lay its foundation; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.'' 

The prophecy came to fulfilment 70 years later when, according to 1 Kings 16:34, Hiel did undertake the rebuilding of Jericho in defiance of the divine warning, laying the foundation with death of Abiram his first son and completed it with death of Segub, his youngest son.

Also, in 2 Kings 4:16; Elisha said to her, ''about this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms..'', which she didn't believe but came to pass one year after.

According to Apostle Suleman, all these and other Biblical instances represent the certainty of the accomplishment of God's warning; a most striking proof of the divine foreknowledge.

A passionate preacher of truths who carefully researches from established knowledge, Suleman speaks on topics that directly affects human productivity, happiness and creativity and carefully examines the teachings of the Bible aiming to show people life giving truths that would help them overcome any obstacle, live above all of life's challenges and become a revolutionary world changer.

The lawmakers who contributed to the issue unanimously agreed that Mr. Ambode must be investigated as stated in section 128 of the 1999 Constitution.

Buhari Leaves For Japan With Sanwo-Olu, Abdulrazak. *returns August 31

President Muhammadu Buhari will depart Abuja Sunday for Japan to participate in the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD7) holding in the City of Yokohama, August 28-30, 2019.

President Buhari’s participation will be his second, having attended TICAD6 in Nairobi, Kenya, in August 2016.

With the theme, “Africa and Yokohama, Sharing Passion for the Future,” the Opening Session of TICAD7 will be performed by the Japanese Prime Minister and host, Shinzo Abe.

President Buhari will deliver Nigeria’s Statement during Plenary Session Three in which he will appraise Nigeria-Japan relations and takeaways from TICAD6. He will attend a State Banquet and also honour the invitation of Emperor Naruhito to a Tea Reception at the Imperial Palace, Tokyo. In addition to a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Abe, the Nigerian President will also attend some side-events and meet chief executive officers of some Japanese companies with huge investments in Nigeria.

Formed in 1993, the now triennial TICAD, which has been convened alternately in Japan and Africa since TICAD6, according to the organisers, is the largest international conference held in Japan which “provides an open forum that generates innovative discussion among various stakeholders on African development.” Participants are drawn not only from African countries, but also international organisations, private companies and civil society organisations involved in development.

TCAD7 is expected to focus on Africa’s “economic transformation and improvements in business environment and institution through private investment and innovation; promotion of resilient and sustainable African society for human security; and peace and stability in support of Africa’s domestic proactive efforts.”

Nigeria has gained tremendously since her participation in TICAD6 at the highest level, during which Japan pledged $30 billion investment “for the future of Africa combined with the private sector;” $10 billion infrastructure investment, and $500 million for vocational training of 50,000 Africans.

Since the Nairobi Conference, Japanese government and companies have been very active in supporting Nigeria’s agriculture, healthcare, electricity and youth empowerment.

President Buhari and his delegation are expected in Yokohama to push for broader Japanese assistance in the areas of science and technology, innovation, human resource development, education, agriculture, power, health and disaster risk reduction, among others.

President Buhari will be accompanied by Governors Babagana Zulum, AbdulRaham AbdulRazaq and Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Borno, Kwara and Lagos States respectively; ministers and other top government officials.

The President is expected back in Nigeria on Saturday, August 31.

Primate Ayodele Drops 2019/2020 Prophecies! ''Nigerians Will Commit Suicide In Courts' Premises. I Foresee External Attacks At Border Posts''

+Atiku won't be president... *Dino Melaye will be Kogi gov. if... *Saraki remains PDP messiah... Senate president, Reps speaker, Oshiomhole to face impeachment plots... *New Owo must pray for life...

Famous Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has urged Nigerian government to keep a close watch on the country's borders with her neighbours as he foresees 'external aggression'.

Ayodele revealed this to journalists during the public presentation of the 2019/2020 edition of his annual prophecy handbook, 'Warnings to The Nations', which held at his church's headquarters in Lagos on Saturday, 25th of August, 2019.

While making his opening address, the seer took time to lecture critics on the importance and ethos of prophecy, noting that 'because God has a purpose for prophecy, which is to confirm His Word, there is no prophecy that is bad'. Prophecy, he notes, plays a large part in our lives, so it is more than just the bare basics.

Primate Ayodele stated further that the challenges facing Nigeria are caused by the kind of leadership it has, warning that unless the leaders change their ways and turn to God for solution, Nigeria would continue to swim in troubled waters.

Giving excerpts from the new prophecy book that is currently circulating around the world and can be read online at www.info@warningstothenations.org, the cleric, who had earlier prophesied some of the events currently happening in the country including the challenges posed to government by the activities of the Shi'ite movement, said God revealed to him that Nigeria would still not be governed by the Igbo in 2023. 

However, he warned that this may cause unforseen trouble for other ethnic tribes. ''Igbo will be disappointed on Nigeria's presidency but there will be problem,'' he revealed. In Lagos State, Ayodele said he foresaw the death of a king and a popular talkshow presenter. He called for prayer.

He revealed further;

''PDP will win Kogi governorship if it fields Dino Melaye as its flagbearer. Capital Oil CEO, Ifeanyi Ubah won't be Anambra governor. Abubakar Atiku should stop wasting money, Buhari will defeat him at the presidential election tribunal. Buhari won't win security fight unless he sacks his security chiefs. Oshiomhole will face removal as APC chairman. Also, God revealed to me that the senate president, Ahmed Lawan and the House of Representatives speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, will face impeachment plots. The senate must pray against the death of anyone.

I foresee the death of a publisher of books and a renowned educationalist. I foresee many states in Nigeria taking political decisions that will suit their environments. Nigeria needs prayers because the country will face several challenges, economic troubles and security crises. The politicians will not fulfil their electoral promises. There will be religious troubles and inflation. The year, 2023 in Nigeria, will cause a lot of tension but technically it will give the opposition problems and Nigeria will lose a publisher. I foresee the breakup of Nigeria in the nearest future.

On Ondo, I foresee the sitting governor, Akeredolu being reelected for another term. He must strategize well and pray to God. I foresee revolution and famine in Nigeria. Aso Rock needs spiritual cleansing. The country needs prayers. I foresee that there will be constitutional amendments to accommodate rotational presidency. In Buhari's second term, he will make efforts to stabilize the economy but he may not get it right.

The PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku must strategize properly so as to manage their internal crisis well because there will be problems in 2023 as the front line party office holders may be disappointed. I still see Bukola Saraki as the man who will stabilize PDP. I foresee that the ongoing election tribunal will sack some PDP and APC members. I foresee fire outbreak at APC headquarters. I foresee a rise  in cases if suicide in Nigeria and people would even attempt to commit suicide in court and company premises. The spirit of God says, the new Olowo of Owo in Ondo State will make the state progress but he will face challenges.The king must pray to live long.

There won't be transport union like NURTW in 20 years. I foresee terrorism spreading in Africa and major regions in Nigeria. The traditional council in Southwest Nigeria will face embarrassment because of involvement in politics. I foresee the suspension or removal of a Northern Emir. They should stay away from politics. Let Nigeria pray against terminal diseases and cholera. I foresee the discovery of a drug that would cure HIV. I foresee attacks at Nigeria's border posts. I foresee attacks on markets and Nigeria's military. 

There will be attacks and fire outbreaks at MTN warehouse. I foresee a case of massive frauds at Nigeria Customs and its top officers facing indictment. Also, Customs officers will be killed. I foresee dangers at airports in Calabar, Yola, Borno, Katsina, Jos, Owerri, Ilorin and Ibadan. And more...

''Kwara Gov. AbdulRazak Personally Gave N10m for Durbar Hosting'' ...forum declares

A group, the Kwara Media Forum, says Governor AbdulRasaq AbdulRahman of Kwara has donated N10 million to Ilorin Durban Foundation.

It said that speculation that the governor did not play any financial role in the recently held Ilorin Durbar festival was unfounded.

It said: “Report that Governor AbdulRahman did not contribute either in cash or kind to the event held in the ancient town last Monday went overdrive following his absence at the occasion which had in attendance an encouraging number of people from the town including dignitaries.

“The governor, who hails from the town, was conspicuous by his absence from the cultural horse riding procession just as he didn’t join other Muslim faithful at the Eid Praying Ground of the metropolis on Sallah day.”

In a statement signed by the spokesman of Kwara Media Forum, Rotimi Sulyman, the group expressed concern over alleged veiled attack on Governor AbdulRahman over the said incidents, saying the governor was deliberately being misconstrued by political jobbers and his adversaries with the view to malign his person and erode his electoral value.

It said: “Our attention has caught falsehood spewed in some circles in the state, claiming Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq contributed no dime in the successful organisation of the recently held Durbar Festival by the Ilorin Emirate despite being an indigene of the town.

“This false rumour has a political undercurrent and is spread in bad faith so as to discredit the governor and vitiate the overwhelming support his government has been enjoying across the state.
“Characteristically, the governor is not fussed about the claim but it behoves on some of us who were privy to things that went on behind the scenes in relation to the event to set the record straight.

“Our group has it on good authority that the governor in his private capacity gave N10m to the committee saddled with organising the event. Besides, it is not in Gov. AbdulRahman’s DNA to sacrifice the welfare of the generality of the people of the state at the altar of ethno-religious politics, kleptomania and self-conceited few that were the stock-in-trade of the previous ruler with its serious consequences including grinding poverty and massive infrastructure deficit.”

Sulyman said Kwara State was better off under the current dispensation, adding infrastructure was getting a boost while civil servants were now paid promptly.
It said: “It is early days, of course, but things are already looking up.
“Kwara may not be out of the woods, but there are positives to take from the incumbent governor’s altruistic leadership style.

“The state civil servants now get their salaries in whole before due date unlike the past government that was paying them in piecemeal at its convenience.
“The roads are being fixed by this administration without costing an arm and a leg.

The statement said that the Institute said it is honouring Suleman for his hard work, youth empowerment, humanitarian liberation and nation building.

Primate Ayodele's 2016 Prophecy on British PM, Boris Johnson's Appointment and 5 Others

Indeed, true prophets of God are centrally positioned by God to serve as the link between Him and the humankind.

True to his words, Servant of God and spiritual head at INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, has been vindicated that, only the Spirit of God can probe into the future and reveal hidden secrets accurately.
Reviewing some of some of his divine messages which have now coming to fulfilment, indeed, places Ayodele amongst the foremost and revered prophets of God.

Some of the prophecies made by Primate Ayodele three years ago, have come to fulfilment. The appointment of Boris Johnson as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, was revealed in an interview the cleric granted Global Excellence magazine which was published on September 24, 2016. 

Ayodele specifically said in the revelations that ’I FORESEE BORIS JOHNSON IN LEADERDHIP AND HIS ISSUE WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR BRITAIN”, adding that ”former PM Theresa May would not survive the Brexit conundrum.”

It was in that same edition that the servant of God gave five other  accurate prophecies. 

Aptly, he warned;

1. ”The Emir of Kano must pray for God’s protection, pray not to be bereaved, rubbished and should watch properly. 

2. I foresee that robbery attack will be rampant in our highways and also kidnappings. 

3. The Police and Army will fight. 

4. Senator Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom must be careful not to lose political relevance in his home state. He should be careful not to play politics that will cause problem between him and the present governor. 

5. Corruption will rock Buhari’s aides and some of his Ministers.”

Primate Ayodele Begins Monthly Salary For Widows and Orphans

Lagos based church, INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has commenced a monthly payment for orphans and widowed women in the church. An insider revealed to this magazine that the spiritual head of the ministry, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, gave the directive for the process, having made the pledge a few weeks ago.

According to the source, concern for the poor and vulnerable has always mattered to Primate Ayodele, hence his resolve to assist widows and widowers in dealing with all the practical realities of life they have to face without their spouses.

Where the women are often neglected or even shamed in the society, the source said that INRI honours them by meeting their financial and spiritual needs.

“Religion that is pure before our God and Father is, caring for orphans and widows in their affliction… (James 1:27),” declared the famous prophet while distributing the first salary to the recipients, promising it would be a lifetime benefit.

WABU President Advises Young Boxers on GOtv Boxing NextGen Search 5

 President of the West African Boxing Union (WABU), Mr. Remi Aboderin, has advised young Nigerian boxers aspiring to turn professional to take advantage of GOtv Boxing NextGen Search 5, as its represents the surest way into the paid ranks. Aboderin, who is also the Secretary-General of the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control (NBB of C), offered the advice while speaking at the NBB of C Secretariat in Lagos yesterday.

According to the boxing administrator, GOtv Boxing NextGen Search 5, scheduled to hold on 29 and 30 August at the Kwara Stadium Complex, Ilorin, will provide young boxers around the country the opportunity to be assessed and selected by the country’s best coaches for nurturing and guidance that will elevate their craft. He also stated that boxers selected during the programme will have their professional licences and comprehensive medical examination paid for by the sponsors, GOtv.

“My honest advice to talented boxers between the ages of 18 and 25 is to seize the opportunity offered by this programme. The benefits are numerous. Aside from having the licences and medical examinations paid for by the sponsors, such boxers also stand a good chance of featuring at coming editions of GOtv Boxing Night, which exposes them to promoters around the continent because it is shown live on television across Africa. They cannot ask for more,” he said.

Aboderin commended the sponsors for their continued support for Nigerian boxing, saying without such, the sport would have been in great distress.

“They have funded GOtv Boxing Night, the biggest and most regular boxing event, since 2014 and GOtv Boxing NextGen Search since 2015. The latter has unearthed promising professional boxers such Rilwan “Baby Face” Babatunde,  Ridwan “Scorpion” Oyekola, Tope “TP Rock” Musa and Opeyemi “Sense” Adeyemi among others,” he stated.

The WABU President urged eligible boxers to go and pick up registration forms for the programme in designated centres. Forms for participation, which are free, are available at the NBB of C Secretariat and the Lagos Boxing Hall of Fame Gym, both in Lagos; Kwara Stadium Complex, Judges and Referees Office in Ilorin, Akure Township Stadium, Akure and Alake Sports Centre, Abeokuta. The last two editions of the programme held in Abeokuta and Ibadan respectively, while the first two held in Lagos.

How Apostle Suleman Foretold Sowore’s Arrest *Calls For His Release

True prophets never spoke on their own authority or shared their personal opinions, but rather delivered the message God as received. In the case of servant of God, Apostle (Prof.) Johnson Suleman, several instances make the above expression explicit.

Since the inception of his televangelism, the senior pastor at Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) worldwide has been using the liberty of the pulpit to convey noteworthy messages denouncing rampant social injustice and the oppression of the poor, as well as speaking truth to power, delivering words of warning, divine guidance, and encouragement.

Recalling, Apostle Suleman had warned in his 2019/2020 divine messages of the arrest of a presidential aspirant after the general elections. The 21^st of the 35 prophecies released to the public in December 2018 had specified concisely that, ‘a presidential aspirant to be arrested’.

The arrest of Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters online newspaper and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the last election, has once again drawn out the passion in Suleman who is calling for the journalist’s release.

Sowore was arrested for calling a mass protest against the Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government tagged RevolutionNow. It is remarkable, however, that Apostle Suleman is the only religious leader so far asking that Sowore be released, considering the fact that the journalist’s medium it was that mocked the prophecy when released last year.

“If I was the one arrested or detained, this man would have through his medium made mincemeat of my travail and even create a debasing story around it. But that won't stop me for calling for his release. Government should release him, because you can’t detain a man who is unarmed while killer herdsmen walk free,” Suleman had said in a terse Twitter message

  

For the record, Apostle Suleman is one of the few prophets whose main concerns are centered on justice and peace, for they turn their attention more specifically on the promise of national renewal and the spiritual blessings that come with trusting God and obeying His will.
