There are traits observed in men who have the motivational spiritual gift of prophecy
. Likewise, there are in others who merely are pretentious of the gift thus making real men of God suspect. When a believer walks according to the Spirit (Galatians 5:25), his unique perspective (in this case, prophecy) is demonstrated through traits that reflect the character of Christ.
Just like the biblical Peter, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele who is the founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, clearly has the gift of prophecy and he does deliver his divine assignments explicitly. Ayodele is renowned for his remarkable divine wisdom to detect when something is not what it appears to be and like a true prophet he is ready to accept criticisms as a result of standing for the truth or doing what is right.
Clearly, four other clerics predicted the outcome of the Ekiti July 14, 2018 governorship election, so far, Ayodele has demonstrated his prowess as been above and ahead of his equals in the gift of prophecy, for he is the only prophet that got it right. And for this, he is well revered across Nigeria and abroad. A quick perusal of some of the servant of God’s very recent past prophecies would reveal this fact.
On page 7 of Global Excellence magazine online, www.globalexcellenceonline.com under the caption, ‘Top Prophet, Primate Ayodele, Releases 2017/2018 Prophecies’, the man of God was quoted as follows;
“I foresee a situation whereby the masses will go on serious protests and vehicles of government officials will be stoned on the road”. Plateau State governor, Lalong and his deputy narrowly escaped death when they were attacked at the IDP camp few days after.
Also, the victory of the just concluded Ekiti governorship election was long foretold by Primate Ayodele. In a January 10th 2018 edition of City People magazine, on page 29, Ayodele prophesied that “The present PDP government in Ekiti State must work hard and strategize well to win the hearts of the people otherwise the APC will win the governorship election of July 14, 2018. Tell Governor Fayose of Ekiti state not to relax because there is fire on the mountain and the election will go beyond his expectations as people of Ekiti may gang up against him and his anointed candidate .There will be a lot of measures to prevent rigging. If APC wishes to win Ekiti State, the party should consider fielding Kayode Fayemi as its candidate.” True to Ayodele’s message, the APC candidate, Fayemi was announced as winner of the governorship election.
In his annual prophecy book, ‘Warnings To The Nations’ released in April 2017, the servant of God warned of the impending closure of the Lagos Third Mainland Bridge. Page 78 of the book reads;
“The long bridge will be closed for maintenance activities as there will be renovation of certain sections of it. Let us rebuke through prayers strange happenings on the bridge.” Two months after, precisely in June ending, the Federal Ministry of Works announced its decision to close the Third Mainland Bridge for repairs. Also, cases of people jumping into the waters under the bridge become pronounced of late.
It is also on record that Primate Ayodele, it was, the first, and so far the only, prophet to have spoken about the senate president, Bukola Saraki’s 2019 presidential ambition. As a matter of fact, Ayodele, emboldened by the revelation he received from God on Saraki’s political future, released a public statement calling on Saraki to ‘come out and contest the 2019 presidential election against Buhari’. Although, events consequent to Ayodele’s call appeared to have sealed his political future, Saraki’s body language of late points to his heeding the divine call for next year’s presidential contests.
From the above, it is noted that true prophecies come directly from God through the Holy Spirit to true men and women of God to pronounce them. Also, it states the fact that, mainly, true prophecies are about God and His kingdom.
