WHERE ARE THE PROPHETS?

Where are the prophets?

I often asked myself why there is dearth of clear prophecy on the situation of our country in a time like this. Jesus has told us in the scripture on what to expect in the endtime, Matthew 24. Two questions I would like everyone reading this article to answer are:

1.         Are we in the endtime?

2.         if yes, how do we triumph in a time like this?

The answers to the two questions are in the scripture, I only dare you to make a little research to understand my position in this brief journey.

Let me quote from 2 King 6:25-31.. This brought terrible famine, so bad that food prices soared astronomically. Eight shekels for a donkey’s head! Five shekels for a bowl of field greens! One day the king of Israel was walking along the city wall, a woman cried out, help, your majesty. He answered if God won’t help you, where on earth can I go for help? To the granary? To the dairy?

The king continued, tell me your story, she said, this woman came to me and said give up your son and we’ll have him for today’s supper; tomorrow we’ll eat my son. So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I told her, your turn – bring your son so we can have him for supper,’ but she had hidden her son away.’

When the king heard the woman’s story he ripped apart his robe. Since he was walking on the wall, everyone saw that next to his skin he was wearing coarse burlap. And he called out, ‘God do His worst to me and more – if Elisha son of Shaphat stll has a head on his shoulders at this days end  (MESSAGE BIBLE)

The King states here that it shouldn’t be this worst when we have the representative of God in this nation. There were four problems in the lives of the Israelites, each leading to another. They were besieged by their neighbour and it led to scarcity, soon cannibalism and betrayal.

Follow me as we critically look at Nigeria situation, who are those that have besieged us?

The privileged few. This led to scarcity, human trafficking, baby factory, cannibalism, ritual killing, betrayal and counter betrayal.

Sad enough we don’t have a concerned king who will challenge the prophet(s), because he has also betrayed us one way or the order so this makes me think of the Elijah era.

Why frown at the mention of the prophet from Tishbite?  Another famine which led to great deliverance.

My point is this, Elijah pronounced the wrath of God on the Nation when they turned against God, three and half years later he came back to execute the judgment of God on the privilege few who had perverse the nation, 1 King 18.

Where are the prophets?

They have joined the bandwagon, 1 King 22:6 to prophesy before the kings and declare the popular message. God did not call you to say the common thing, see regular vision or partake daily on the kings table.

Where are the prophets?

We are no longer watching but sleeping, Ezekiel 33:1-10. Evil has befallen the nation. Oh I sob because the prophets have abandoned their watch tower Habbakuk 2:1-3.

Where are the Micaiahs, Elijahs, Elishas, Nathans who will confront the king, Oh where are the Jeremiahs, Isaiahs, Amos’, who will say it the way it is.

We need the prophets!, we need the prophets, come out from wherever you are, I dare you to join me in this crusade. We can no longer tolerate the Syrians to continue this invasion of our common wealth.

Before you start criticizing me, I am one of you and I challenge you to come out from your hiding palace. Enough of prophecy to raise fund, we need prophecy to raise destinies. Our nation is dying. Good news are not so common in our media infact they are becoming extinct.

We are called to also liberate our nation of the shackles of wicked ruler (we don’t have leader anymore in this nation).

Your knees are so smooth meaning you no longer tarry in intercession, You have modern electronics to adore your sitting room because you have dedicated more time to watching news than changing news on the mountain.

Wake up, prophets of God, Nigeria needs you.

We no longer condemned high level of impunity, where is the fear of God (Ecclesiastes 8:11-13).

The host of hell have closed your eyes from seeing solution but pollution. The drive for money and luxuries has torn your prophetic garments (Ecclesiastes 5:7).

Hear what Psalm 74:4-9

Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations: they set up their ensign for signs. A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. They said in their hearts, let us destroy them together; they burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

So, I asked again where are the prophets.
