One of the major features of the New Year is prophetic utterances. Each year starts with different prophetic words for the New Year from both Christian and Islamic clerics. They tend to prepare the minds of the people as to what is to be expected in the New Year while some shape their lives according to these prophecies.
Some of these prophetic words might be positive or negative while in this aspect, some clerics are already been referred to as “prophet of doom”due to their negative prophecies for the New Year. Some of these prophecies may come to pass while some may never come to reality.
We have compiled top men of God’s prophecies for the new year
Pastor E.A. Adeboye
General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has predicted that there will be a “new sexually transmitted disease” in 2016.
Daddy G O further revealed that, floods, fire and earthquakes are likely to get progressively worse until governments all over the world realise that these are part of divine judgment against those who pass unholy laws. He also and also added that a major war will be averted.
He however noted that, “If government will repent of disdaining Christ and His church, God will help them to win the fight against terrorism.”
Revd Father EjikeMbaka
Catholic Priest and Founder, Adoration Ministries Enugu Nigeria, AMEN, Reverend Fr. EjikeMbaka, has predicted that there would be plots to kill President MuhammaduBuhari, prophesying that alleged beneficiaries of massive corruption perpetrated during ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration would plot to kill the president.
He says:
“Many people are planning, as it is revealed , to kill Buhari. There are many plans on how to eliminate his life so that corruption, embezzlement will continue. But the Lord says, God who put you there, will not forsake you. Be firm, resolute, focused, unbiased and refuse to be intimidated and distracted. Go ahead and war against evil. Buhari, go ahead and war against corruption. God and His people are behind you. You are the answer of the prayers of the people.
“Our past looters, embezzlers, thieves on the political terrain have eaten the cake and now everybody is suffering. No ethnic group is marginalized. In the present administration, Igbo people hold the portfolio for Minister of External Affairs, GodffreyOnyeama; Science and Technology, OgbonnayaOnu; Industry and Commerce, OsitaEnalema; Labour and employment, Chris Ngige. And the problem of this country now is unemployment.
If our youths are well employed, kidnapping will go. Kidnapping was a child of the past administration. They delivered that ugly baby, which resembled them. It is my job to put your mind right. When anybody wants to say that Igbo are marginalised, do not believe it. Igbo are doing well everywhere. So,why are we evolving a war that does not exist?
“Those who are engineering this war, have their children abroad! And they want to use our unemployed youths to begin to walk around, ‘Igbo are marginalized,’ ‘our roads are bad.’ By the end of this year, Buhari will expose the names of the people who looted money meant for our roads. What we are suffering now is the resultant effect of the last malignant administration that was intrinsically corrupt. What we are suffering now arose from past administration. But the Lord says there is hope. Many people are going to suffer. We should all get ready. But after the suffering we will all smile.”
The fiery cleric however disclosed that after the economic hardship, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
Johnson Suleiman
If prophesies coming from the spiritual leader of the Omega Fire Ministries are anything to go by, then the Nigerian political class is in for many tragedies in 2016.
