A cleric, Pastor Elijah Abiara has warned other clerics
against prophesying about winners of elections, election results and likely
outcome of elections.
Abiara of Comforter’s Prophetic Institute, North America,
gave the advice in a statement he made available.
The cleric noted that the need for clerics to steer clear of
pridicting winners of elections is necessary due to what he described as
‘disruptive prophetic declarations’ that greeted the November 2020 presidential
election in the United States of America and developments that followed its
outcome.
Abiara in the statement made on
Saturday cited the high rate of failures and divisions created by utterances of
religious leaders and groups before, during and after the hotly contested
United States of America presidential election.
The cleric then advised prophets and pastors to stop
dabbling into election prophecies.
He added that most of the predictions failed because they
were self serving.
“Religious leaders, groups and individuals, across the
globe, as well as in Nigeria, made failed prophecies about the elections and
the candidates – immediate past President, Donald Trump of the Republican Party
and President Joe Biden of the Democratic Party.
“Many of the prophecies of the recent US election’s outcome
failed because of self-interest, not because the Lord is not with these men of
God. No matter how powerful and how accurate your gift of prophecy is, if you
have self-interest, it will create self-conflict, resulting in false prophecy
which may in turn, affect your credibility.
“Many men of God, especially the evangelicals had queued
behind Trump, with some labelling the eventual winner of the election, Biden,
as agent of the Antichrist due to his party’s open support for controversial
issues like homosexuality and abortions.
“The truth of the matter is that Joe Biden is more of the
Lord than many politicians in Washington.
“In his acceptance speech, Joe Biden quoted many Bible
verses, more than Donald Trump ever quoted in his entire four years in the Oval
office. Joe Biden is a faithful and practicing Catholic.
“It’s time to move on and pray for the new president. China
is on the rise and on a speed to overtake the US, but it won’t happen because
the US is the only mouthpiece for God’s chosen nation- Isreal.”
