Deputy governors betrayal prophecy: Abia cleric, Rev. Uche Ume disagrees with Lagos prophet

 www.odogwublog.com reports that an Umuahia,  Abia State- based cleric and President of Power Word Ministries, Rev. Uche Ume, has  disagreed  with the recent prophesy by a Lagos- based prophet, Elijah Ayodele that five incumbent Deputy Governors in the country would betray their principals.

The spiritual head of the INRI Evangelistic Spiritual Church, revealed that the Deputy Governors of Abia, Ebonyi, Kano, Sokoto and Taraba states would  have issues with their principals  before the end of their terms in office. 

Rev. Ume in a chat with newsmen in Umuahia, dismissed the prediction as false, declaring that any prophesy which creates fear, tension and acrimony is never of God. 

" A prophecy must be edifying and comforting. A prophecy that has come to create chaos is questionable", he insisted.

His words: "That so-called prophecy has it edified the Governors or their Deputies? I refuse to accept that God will send a word to bring confusion in five Government Houses  across the nation. I don’t even know some of these Governors personally and so it’s not about me. 

"But I am interested in helping people know the wrong from the right. I'm not saying the prophet is a false prophet, but you see this prophecy about the deputy governors? This is totally false! 

"How can God by Himself through a prophet set five states of the federation on fire as these Governors if care is not taken may begin to suspect and fight their deputies?And you know what that means for the polity. 

"Any prophesy that brings a sword and divides a brother from another is not of God. The bible asks us not to despise prophesy but also we are admonished to test every spirit. 

"The bible says we prophesy in parts but it’s only in Nigeria that we prophesy in full. People should be careful what they say especially when they occupy certain positions. When Jesus enters any place he brings peace. And so should prophecies from God.  I refuse to accept that God will bring confusion in five states. What exactly is the target of that prophecy?"

The International evangelist challenged self- acclaimed prophets masquerading as God's oracles in Nigeria to seek divine solution to the country's economic woes instead of prophesying lies for cheap popularity.

"We are in a time of recession; God should be revealing solutions to us through His prophets. Don’t they see where solutions are? 

"There are security challenges in Nigeria, can’t these prophets give us prophecies of solution? Men of God should be careful what they say; there are wars, conflicts and disputes that have broken out in different places, communities and even families as a result of unguarded utterances and pronouncements some  of which sometimes are absolute falsehood. 

"If you were any of those Governors and you heard this kind of prophecy, how would you be looking at your deputy? And by the way, assuming God reveals a problem to someone, there are ways to handle it better rather than making headlines on the pages of newspapers and online media. By the way, it is only in Nigeria that prophets do not make mistakes."

 On how to determine a true prophesy, Rev. Ume said: "The word of God serves as an acid test for every true prophecy. God cannot speak against what He has written. For For example: If someone comes to you and tells you that God asked you to give him your wife or that you should kill yourself. You know his prophecy contradicts the word of God. Discard it no matter who is saying it. "

The cleric , therefore, advised the Governors of the affected states not to allow the controversial prophesy generate bad blood between them and their deputies.

"I say to them: Don’t judge people by what others or another said, instead judge them by who they are to you and what you know about them. Also study the bible because everything pertaining to life, leadership etc is in it. 

"Don’t let anyone deceive you. Any prophecy given to you that is not in line with the word of God, throw it away.  I will be shocked if someone allows what any so-called prophet is saying to him in the name of prophecy to make him throw away his loyal deputy.  

"People should be properly guided and not let the enemy sow any evil seed of discord into their domains."
