Cleric<\/a> stated this while speaking with journalists at the Global leadership conference of Renaissance Bible College and Seminary with the theme \u2018The Role of Theological Education, Ecumenism and Integration in the 21st Century\u2019 held in Abuja.<\/p>\nRecall that during the building up to the 2023 general election, many clerics \u2018prophesied\u2019 the outcome of the poll which the result eventually went the other way.<\/p>\n
Dr Emmanuel maintained that the failed prophecies were from the imagination of those prophesying, who he said must be called to order.<\/p>\n
He noted that there is a need for clerics across the country to speak with one voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have CAN and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN). I think the leaders of these bodies should have the responsibility of calling erring pastors to order so that we don\u2019t have confusion in the house.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Paul was speaking, I think to the Corinthians, he said if anyone has a prophecy, one should prophesize at a time, while others should judge. Prophecy is not a recipe for confusion. God is not an author of confusion.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that prophecy has three major sources \u2013 \u201cone from the spirit of man, then from the spirit of the devil and from the Spirit of God\u201d.<\/p>\n
He added that any cleric who speaks from his own spirit is simply talking from imagination\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are inspired by the devil of course you\u2019re a prophet but not a prophet of God\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there are also prophets of God, who speak from God. And if you speak from God, one sign that you are speaking from God is that it comes to pass. If it doesn\u2019t come to pass, then you are not speaking from God.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy take is that CAN and PFN should be able to regulate the house because the church is a house. We should be able to speak with one voice. And then the leaders of the organisations should be able to decipher who is really speaking and representing the voice of God so that we won\u2019t have this rancour and disorder that we\u2019ve had so far\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n
Also, the Chaplain Chapel of Salvation, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Professor David Abraham, lamented the proliferation of churches across the country, noting that many pastors do not have theological training.<\/p>\n
He said theological training is one of the major tools for character transformation and practical discipline.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo there were prophecies, whether you like it or not, there are correct prophecies and there are those that have worked and there also fake which might even be more than the original because there are the ones that pick from anywhere and then begin to talk.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey hear a lot of voices, and it could be satanic voices. And just like I have said, any prophecy that does not come to pass is not from God. So that is the basis of underlining the true and false prophecies. When it comes to pass, then you know it is true\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n
Speaking on CAN regulating the activities of pastors, he said \u201cNigeria is such a lawless country for now but I believe our laws will come back. CAN is politicized. The politics in CAN is so much that until God changes them.<\/p>\n
\u201cCAN has a lot of roles to play in curtailing all the proliferation of these churches. They are the administrative head. They\u2019re the ones that we run to. So any church that wants to be established must be registered with CAN.<\/p>\n
While stressing the need for theological training for pastors, he added: \u201cMany pastors come up and tell you that God calls them but they can\u2019t tell us specifically what call asked them to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, God speaks to people, we all agree but that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re already an ordained pastor. It simply means you should go and search for more knowledge and learn. Moses was called from his mother\u2019s womb but he went out to seek for knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
