GOD IS GOD, Barake or no Bakare

Here is a record of PTBs prophecies over the past couple of years:


Quote:
PAST PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The vision is to be plainly publicised so that "… he may run who reads it." It is therefore in this spirit that we present here some of the prophetic utterances that have been made through Pastor Tunde Bakare in recent history. It is imperative to mention here that the Prophetic dimension of Pastor Tunde Bakare's ministry at present somehow has a primary focus on the nation Nigeria.
At a time when he had nearly concluded arrangements to relocate out of the country, God intercepted the project. In an open vison, God told him: "Nigeria is your Primary place of assignment, Go back; PRAY, PREACH and PROPHESY until revival comes". The threshold of the prophetic presence in Nigeria's political terrain was in 1993. A number of other declarations have since followed. Some are already fulfilled while some others are still pending. Whatever the Lord says, "… though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

1993

Before Chief M.K.O Abiola contested for the presidential election in 1993, Pastor Bakare made prophetic pronouncements dissuading him from participating in the election. "Is there no old man in MKO's house to restrain him because once he begins, he will not come out alive?" Bakare declared. M.K.O. Abiola languished in prison for daring to declare himself the democratically elected President of Nigeria and died in questionable circumstances at the end of it.

In April 1993, while Nigerians eagerly awaited the emergence of a democratically elected president, Pastor Tunde Bakare came with the shocking prophecy that neither of the two existing political parties, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) nor the National Republican Convention (NRC) will attain political power. By the prompting of God, he declared, "SDP will fail, be cut off and swallowed up. The military will fall. Verdict '93: Our God reigns". Eleven days after the June 12 presidential election, General Ibrahim Babangida, then Military President, annulled the election.

In June that same year,Pastor Bakare shared a vision God showed him during a church service at the church. He saw, "two pieces of meat hanged by a tiny thread with labels on them. One piece was labeled SDP; the other was labeled NRC. Then a fat cat dressed in the camouflage uniform of the Nigerian Army came and swallowed up both of them. Then came an arrow from heaven and pierced the cat." He explained that IBB would step down but the cat that was coming would annihilate the political structures. Nobody would be able to remove the cat but an arrow from heaven would pierce him through.

When the exit of General Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) from power was uncertain, Pastor Bakare prophesied that either on or before 27th August 1993, he (IBB) would make mistakes that would make him go. Eventually, IBB stepped aside and the Interim National Government chaired by Ernest Shonekan was installed. Dr. Bakare prophesied that the Interim National Government was the "Ishbosheth factor"; a mere stopover. While the press was busy singing the praise of Late General Sanni Abacha as a well-trained soldier through and through, one who was apolitical and not interested in ruling the nation, Pastor Bakare saw the events that were to come. He led the church to pray one theme: "Abacha; that which you want to do, do it quickly." Just as Ishbosheth was disgraced and his head cut off, so would the regime of Ernest Shonekan. Abacha eventually seized power from Shonekan through a palace coup in November 1993.

When General Sani Abacha took over the rein of governance in Nigeria, Dr. Bakare declared according to the revelation of God to him that the character of the new ruler is represented in Psalm 36. When his tenure in power is reviewed, the man clearly lived up to the character represented in those blessed pages
1995

The humiliation of the Sokoto caliphate in 1995 was also foretold by word of prophesy. In Pastor Bakare's words: "1995 is the year of the unprecedented humiliation of the Sokoto caliphate. Its influence in the sociopolitical setup of Nigeria will not only wane, it will die. This (the then) Sultan will not be there by the end of the year". Also, there would be a strong famine, pestilence, and desert encroachment in the northern part of Nigeria. Gen. Abacha being the instrument of fulfillment threw the Sultan into confinement.

On the destiny of Abacha's transition programme, Dr. Bakare had this to say: "In an open vision, I saw over thirty political heavyweights jostling for the presidency of the country. Even with their money, manipulators set in to tamper with election results, which brought in confusion into the whole process. Three ugly things will characterize the transition programme - betrayals, deception and intrigues while the gullible and the desperate will have their political career terribly shattered". The most disastrous of the entire programme according to Dr. Tunde Bakare was that, "the gullible and the desperate will have their political past and future sidetracked, and many of them will be kept permanently in the tunnel." The nation witnessed the fulfillment of these prophecies.
1997

On the alleged coup of December 1997, Dr. Bakare prophesied after death sentence had been passed on the alleged coupists by the trial tribunal and the nation was expecting their execution thus: "just before the killer will kill, he himself shall be killed - expect the night-before miracle"

At the 1997 Christian National Conference in Kampala, Uganda, Pastor Bakare prophesied that "instead of AIDS, God was bringing aid to the people of Uganda." Present in this gathering were some 18,000 Christians from all over East Africa including President Musoveni, Federal Ministers and other government functionaries. A month later, among other financial aids, United States of America wrote off debts of Uganda and gave her financial aid.
1998

Dr Bakare had shared with the congregation a vision early 1998 in which he saw General Abacha dying in the midst of two foreign women. In the same vision he saw the shoes of Bill Clinton, the United States of America President, replaced with tissue papers. The Monica Lewinsky saga became blown thereafter.

Afterwards, he declared ceaselessly that,"The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel, Abacha, your time is up". During the same period, at a Conference of Prophetic and Apostolic Churches (COPAC) in Kano, Pastor. Bakare prophesied that, "it was not the first time that the corpse of a head of state would be brought to Kano for burial and it would not be the last. And that the city of Kano should expect the corpse of another Head of State" Abacha died in the early hours of June 8, 1998. According to the prophecy - the cat was pierced through by the arrow from above- The end of a tyrannical rule.

Following General Abubakar's appointment as the Head of State after the death of General Abacha, Pastor. Bakare declared to the nation. Thus saith the Lord; "Abubakar is Saul". According to him, " if General Abubakar will yield to God and serve according to the will of God, he will become the midwife who will be instrument to the birth of David. Through him, a new nation will emerge. But if he has the fear of death and continues as he has said with programme of General Abacha, he will fall with his Armour bearers".
1999

March 7, 1999.
On March 7, 1999, the following the election of General Olusegun Obasanjo as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Pastor. Bakare raised the voice of the Spirit saying, "in a vision, I eavesdropped on the conversation going on in the Heaven. I saw Jesus on the throne called the seat of the Governor and the subject they were discussing was Nigeria. This was what came out of the lips of the Lord:

The Bible says we have an high priest in Jesus. He is pleading for the souls of men how come he is worried about the nation not the people be saved? (Input from Backslider)

"Rejoice not oh land, or your joy will be temporary. For I am bringing the nation - Nigeria, the rulers, the priests and the prophets there to my threshing floor. I will judge Saul and his comrades, and after I have finished my purging, then I will restore to you permanent joy" Obasanjo is not your messiah. He is King Agag and the prophetic axe will fall upon his head before May 29.

And I asked. "Lord. How are you going to judge Saul and what has he done?"

God said, "I sent him on an assignment to overtake, to recover, to demolish but he didn't. He spared the fat calves, he spared the big sheep and he brought Agag back to Jerusalem. I will judge Saul and his comrades and after I have finished my purging, then your joy will be permanent"

What is this "Prophecy" about? (Input from Backslider)

Pastor Bakare warned that if General Obasanjo were eventually sworn in, either by omission or commission, three things would characterize his regime:
The family situation in Nigeria will collapse
Just like in the days of Ahab, there will be economic crimes perpetrated more than ever before
The occult movement will gain momentum that it will almost become impossible to stop it.
This came to pass during the first term of this regime. The level of blood letting under this regime remains unparalleled in Nigeria’s history, save the civil war years.

2001

Sunday service, June 3 2001, Dr. Bakare made a declaration from God: “Son of man, announce to those who will hear, declare my word to those who will listen, proclaim to all what I am about to do: Vacancy! Vacancy!! Vacancy!!!” says the Spirit of the Lord
“the sound of rejoicing and the sound of wailing in your nation will manifest at the same time. I will suddenly remove and take away the princes I have not chosen and the prophets I did not send. There shall be a vacuum for a moment and there shall be order in a little while, and I will bring princes to power and my prophet shall hear my word. I will no longer hide myself from your people. And the sound of rejoicing shall envelope the nation” says the Spirit of the Lord
2002

•January 1, 2002.
Dr. Bakare described 2002 as “the year of suddenlies, it will be both sporadic and bewildering; it is a year characterised by sudden happenings, master minded by the invisible hand of God. It will fall one upon the other that the hearts of men will fail them…”
He said further “from November 2001, the Lord said to me that Nigeria has shifted gear from the threshing floor to the valley of slaughter, which will be both political, economic and spiritual. He spoke directly into my heart and said within 100 days and 100 ways, I will do a thing that will break the power of hindrances and opposition in the lives of my people”
A series of calamities tore through the nation. The Attorney General of the Federation was brutally murdered in December 2001. Terrible explosions ripped though the munitions dump of the Ikeja military cantonment killing thousands. While the nation was still reeling from the blasts, another ethnic clash erupted in Lagos claiming numerous lives and property. Fear gripped the land. National Encomium, a soft sell weekly magazine did a recap of Pastor Bakare’s recent prophecies and arrived at its own interpretation that the 100th day (going by human calendar) was February 28 2002, the event would be the assumption of power by long expected “tender plant, the man from Adamawa”. There was commotion at the seat of power as a result of this. The principal actors made sure the National Encomium’s projected 28th February doomsday scenario did not meet them in Nigeria.

While this was going on, Dr. Bakare had declared to the church; “I saw one who has become a political demagogue pursuing the prophet of God wanting to kill him at all cost; I see in that vision that the prophet will hide here, the man will come with his troops, but all of a sudden, the one that was pursuing became pursued”.

February 28 came and passed and nothing of the sort happened. Pastor Bakare was away in Ghana when he called his lawyer, Chief Gani Fawehinmi to inform him of his arrival back in Lagos and that he might be arrested on arrival. He was arrested upon arrival by the SSS, and released hours later after interrogation.

2003

January 1, 2003.
Dr Bakare described 2003 as “The year of unusual happenings…”
“Towards the end of the second quarter of the year 2002, I had a terrifying vision. In the vision, I was by a swimming pool alone and I was about to swim. The moment I jumped into the pool to begin to swim, the concrete slab of my swimming pool split into two and the water of the pool carry me towards the fence of my residence. The moment the water hit my residence, it split into two and it became a big river. I was not in charge of the river anymore. The river took me to a place where I saw unusual creatures. They were crabs but they had no shells; every part of them was like the flesh of fish. But what was unusual about these creatures is that everyone of them spoke in one accord with a human voice. They said to me,

"Welcome to the colony of witches."

I started wondering what I was doing there. Then they said to me,

"Do not disturb us because it is not yet our time"

But something in me could not wait. I took one of them with a fist, smashed it. I came round and I discovered I was in my room. God did not speak to me about the vision until December 2002. He began to explain the vision to me. The first split - is unusual happenings.

I announce the 'God factor' to you in the politics of Nigeria in the year 2003. The punch of Jehovah God Almighty will smash the citadel of witches. All those who gang up to ruin this nation, the punch of Jehovah will scatter them.
In my prayers the Lord said to me, unusual happenings, unusual openings and unusual miracles. The hearts of men will fail them this year because their hopes will be dashed; they thought they are in charge. Expect the 'God factor' this year. This is the year when the land will vomit those that think they have Nigeria in their pocket "Expect the 'God factor".

The year 2003 lived up to its billing as the year of unusual happenings worldwide. Among others, it was the year the US led a rag tag “coalition of willing” nations amidst worldwide condemnation on a unilateral invasion of Iraq over weapons of mass destruction (WMD), weapons that are yet to be unearth amidst intrigue and counter accusations. It was the year the US armed forces suffered more casualties after the cessation of hostilities than during the war itself.

2007

1. God is purging His firmament of ?shooting stars.?

The first thing that God will do in 2007 that would shock His Church is that He would purge the firmament of ?shooting stars?: Those who love to have the preeminence in the Church; those who have become tin gods, those who have taken over the temple from Lord of the temple, who have become lords of the temple; God says their time is over!



2. God said to me: ?I am restoring the ministry of my saints. I am going to anoint ordinary people to do extraordinary exploits.? The grace of God is coming upon saints to do extraordinary things. You don?t have to leave your profession because the anointing of God is coming upon you to do the extraordinary things right there. No more spectator Christianity! The Lord told me that there will be more and more Grace, more and more People, more and more Power, and more and more Glory. There will be more people on God?s side like never before and more grace and power will be given to them to do great exploits for God (2 Cor. 4: 15; The MSG, NLT).



3. The Lord said in 2007, many will perish by prosperity. I have a fearful message for those who preach and embrace the message of prosperity without purpose in the church, who think that godliness is a means of gain. I saw a whirlwind rolling through the church of the living God, not only inNigeria but also in the nations of the earth. And God told me that it is hurricane prosperity. Those who have manipulated and told a lie over the years will be destroyed by this hurricane prosperity. Although year 2007 is a year of increase, do not compare it with the counterfeit prosperity that is being preached over the years through another spirit, typifying another gospel. Run from any prosperity that is not rooted in righteousness but in deception and sharp practices! There is hurricane prosperity. (Dan 8:15-25, Jer 17:11).



[b]4. The Lord said, ?I am releasing the anointing of Deborah upon the Police Force.? Concerning the state of insecurity in Nigeria, I see the rise of a Super Cop. This Super Cop was a woman of great influence and authority. She began to change the Police Force as she was speaking to men with authority. She began to give instructions to men in the Police Force, and they were taking command. To some, she gave honey. To others, she stung them to death and the spate of insecurity began to wane. When I asked the Lord what this meant He told me that He allowed the state of insecurity for a while, but because of what He wants to do, He will stop it. (Judges 5:5-7). This vision prompted me to go into an in-depth study of the life of Deborah. Then I gained understanding just as Daniel did. This is the interpretation of the vision: It is a strange leadership that advances poverty and oppresses the people that releases violence in the city and nations. In other words, it is the multiplication of poverty that breeds armed robbers. When men sit on what belongs to others, others will also take gun in order to take part of what they thought is theirs. Any constitution that will not bend will have to break. The super Cop will sting the corrupt to death, but release honey to those who will do the work, because enlightenment has come. The veil is removed from the eyes of our people. Expect the tide of insecurity to begin to wane in our nation, as you see the emergence of this Super Cop.[/b]

where is or where was the Super Cop? (Input from Backslider)



[b]5.?Mr. President, think not that you are going home with bitterness in May 2007?, says the Spirit of the Lord! Congratulations to those president elects and vice-president elects. Congratulations to men of good will that are doing their best to steer the ship of our nation in the midst of confusion and horse trading that is going on. But the Lord sent me to you, and as many as could take this message and give it to our President, that the grave he is digging is about to cave in and he will fall into it, because bitterness is much more devastating than betrayal. Vengeance has no foresight?whatever weapon you are using to hit somebody else, remember what is called boomerang! This is what I hear from the Spirit of God:?Bitterness is more devastating than betrayal. Betrayal is something others do to you; bitterness is something you do to yourself.? The hardest time to be gentle is when we know we are right but somebody else is wrong?it is when someone?s destiny lies in our hand that we know whether we are gentle, humble, or not. I don?t know whether the Vice-President betrayed the President in 2003, but what is going on is nothing but the manifestation of bitterness. But it will only destroy the one who harbours it. It does not matter how many good things we do, when we allow bitterness to come in, and we withhold forgiveness from those who hurt us; we are not free and they also are not free. This is what the Spirit of God said to me concerning those who are manipulation the power process in Nigeria: ?What the wicked fears will hit him.? It is not your job to block another person?s chance?let God be God and let man be man. ??what the wicked dreads will overtake him? (Pro 10:24 NIV). MAY NIGERIA SURVIVE AND FULFILL HER GOD-GIVEN DESTINY. This is the word of God concerning Nigeria for the year 2007. Amen.[/b]

Is this Prophecy to deliver who from what? (Input from Backslider)


March 2007


The iniquity of the Amorites is complete. Therefore, the land will vomit the Amorites. God is wiping the Nation like a dish.
The rod of the Lord?s help shall begin to execute the oppressive Heads of countries, beginning fromNigeria and then to Africa and other parts of the world.
The lives of those who are after the life of Pastor Tunde Bakare shall be thrown out like a stone from a sling.
Tomorrow, before the sun is hot, Nigeria would have been delivered. By the time the sun is hot, you shall receive help.

Are we Delivered? (Input from Backslider)

17th of May, 2007: The Vision of Nigeria's Economy



Dr. Tunde Bakare described the vision he saw on Thursday, 17th of May, 2007. He then went further to give the interpretation:


?Today, shortly after praying, I went into a vision. This is the vision upon my head:

I found myself in a corporate setting among the big wigs in the corporate world.Nigeria?s business tycoons and barons of industry were present at this meeting. I sat on a table. And on this table was a foremost lawyer and industrial guru sitting beside me. Shortly after we exchanged pleasantries, he got up to move forward to greet other people. After taking a few steps to greet them, he suddenly suffered a debilitating stroke and collapsed headlong. Then a young man got up immediately to begin to shove him on the floor until he managed to push him into a couch. I got up from where I was, laid hands on him and prayed.


Now to backtrack a little, twenty years ago, 1987 to be precise, I saw the same man. I was taken into his home town in the Spirit. I entered the house in the Spirit. He was casually dressed, playing Christian music on a grand Piano. I said to myself, ?So this man is a Christian!? Then I heard a voice in the Spirit that said, ?No, he is not a Christian; he is just playing Christian songs!? Subsequently, I found out that he was deep in the occult ? he is a member of the Amorc. Eventually, a time came that we had an opportunity to meet. I wanted to witness to him to share with him what I saw in the Spirit, but the Holy Spirit restrained me ? He said it wasn?t yet time!

[Paul said preach in and out of season how can the holy Ghost restrain you from preaching (Input from Backslider)


This man suffered a debilitating stroke. So, as I laid hand on him and prayed in the name of the Lord, he said amen but he was weeping bitterly. And he said to me: ?This shameful and embarrassing situation had happened to me before. I suffered this at the airport before; this is the second time. I hope I will recover.? I prayed for him again, and the vision ended.


In my humanity I thought the end of this man has come. But I was taken into the second vision.


In this second vision, I saw one of the members of the OASIS of The Latter Rain Assembly. She wrote me a letter. In the letter, there were four points of the devastation and lack that her family, husband and children were going through. Then as I began to pray, I saw the third vision:


I found myself in the car park of my house. As I was driving in, someone had blocked the place I should park my car. It was dark because there was no light. Then I saw someone in the dark meddling with a car. So I took torchlight and beamed it on the person ? it was my late uncle. I asked him if I could give him a helping hand. Then I sent for an electrician. The electrician came and fixed the light. And as I was about to pay him, I brought out twenty-three pounds sterling. But the man asked for twelve pounds remuneration. I gave him the twenty-three pounds, and I asked for balance. Then, as I turned to my uncle to help him fix his flat tire, he suddenly turned to IBB (General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (Rtd.)), former military Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I looked at him sternly and asked him, ?What are you doing here?? Then I came to myself.?


This is the interpretation:

[b]
?Thus says the Lord, the Nigerian Economy is about to suffer a debilitating stroke. That means the current economic bubble is about to burst. Consequently, the nation will be brought to her knees, and if care is not taken, the severity of the famine will pave way for discredited leaders to look like saints and take over again.


The man that suffered a debilitating stroke in the first vision represents the best of Nigerian Economy. The economy is about to suffer stroke. It will impact the high, the low, and the mighty people, even within the church. It will be so devastating; nonetheless, God has a plan for His people.


The person I saw in the second vision typifies the severity of the famine in the land while the third one stands for the discredited leader that will want to take advantage of the famine to get into power.


The Lord told me the reason for the stroke that will hit the economy is a result of bloodshed in the land. There would be no formula that could fix it except we revisit the issue and intercede for mercy (2 Sam 21:1-22).


It doesn?t matter how severe the famine would be, God?s covenant people would be protected. There is a protection of God over everything that belongs to God?s people. Famine is one of the yardsticks that God uses to show the difference between His people and those who are not His. Because as severe as the famine was in Gerar in the days of Isaac, he sowed in that year and received a hundredfold (Gen 26:1-12).


Therefore, let us thank God for revealing these things to us. Let us pray for God?s mercy, that He may send succour to us from His sanctuary. May the giants of the land be slain once and for all, so that Nigeria can truly fulfill her destiny. May the wickedness of the wicked be upon him, for the Lord will not destroy the righteous with the wicked. Those who have made a covenant with God will be exempted from this famine. There is hope for Nigeria!?[/b]


And there is no Word from God about souls being saved? (Input from Backslider)

TRUE CHRISTIANS KNOW WHAT PROPHESY IS. IF THIS IS SCRIPTURAL PROPHESY THEN BABA LAWO HAVE DONE BETTER


If a Prophet speaks something and it does not come to pass the bible says we shall not be afraid of that prophet.

Oh come on, the so-called record is from his own website. Why not use unbiased newspaper records?

@seun

ah ah

If you read his prophesy from his website you will see that some of the prophesy are not biblical and some have not come to pass.

@seun

Please when making statements, always speak for yourself. Stop using "we all know, "

Just say your opinion

Very interesting

watever be his prophesy real or fake,d thing is we shouldnt judge him

@jennykadry

Samson(The Judge) failed to Judge delilah and he lost his eyes and was enslaved.

@Backslider:

@seun

ah ah

If you read his prophesy from his website you will see that some of the prophesy are not biblical and some have not come to pass.

And the same can be said about the unfulfilled prophesies of the New Testament. Afterall all those people had dies and Jesus had not returned yet. And neither had the Comforter came to teach you all things. (If the comforter was not M.u.h.ammad, that is). There are many more statements that has not came to past and the time for it has expired.

What is ironic is that these Yoruba people when they turned away from Is.la.m, they do not see the need to change their names as well. If I were Paul before I became a M.us.lim, the name would just be a goner just like the former religion. Bakare should be ashamed of himself, because Bakare is Bakr, but in a lazy Yoruba pronounciation.

@~Lady~: I am an equal opportunity offender. See, I do not spare the Yorubas either.

What is this great religion and great one ppl keep talking about every where?

Abeg some of us no understand oh.

Pls explain further, maybe I might become great too, ?

@jennykadry

Samson(The Judge) failed to Judge delilah and he lost his eyes and was enslaved

judge delilah how?

@Olabowale,

olabowale:

And the same can be said about the unfulfilled prophesies of the New Testament. Afterall all those people had dies and Jesus had not returned yet. And neither had the Comforter came to teach you all things. (If the comforter was not M.u.h.ammad, that is). There are many more statements that has not came to past and the time for it has expired.

Did Jesus specifically give you the time for each and every specific prophecy? Did He say that ALL the Biblical prophecies would come to pass at the same time?

The kind of prevarications you make these days are such a pity. You should let us know if Muhammed's "prophecies" are prophecies at all.

Pastor Tunde Bakare has been called so many things by so many people. A lot of people see him as a false prophet, and the standard by which they draw their conclusions is weak. Let me take just two examples from someone who gave a long critique.

After posting a lengthy sample of a prophecy, we find the following lines:

[Paul said preach in and out of season how can the holy Ghost restrain you from preaching (Input from Backslider)

The Holy Spirit determines the divine commission - and He has indeed "restrained" His eager servants in Scripture before. Let's remind ourselves: "After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not" (Acts 16:7). To the question: "how can the holy Ghost restrain you from preaching", we can be sure He has done it before as in this example.

The Bible says we have an high priest in Jesus. He is pleading for the souls of men how come he is worried about the nation not the people be saved? (Input from Backslider)

God is concerned both with the salvation of souls and their moral condition. If a minister is pressed with the latter, it does not negate the former.

@syrup

Much as I feel very sad to do this, I must say that we need to make sure that babes in Christ will and shall know what the bible says. It is very easy to bring a the truth from the bible and use it wrongly.

Paul was told by the prophets not to go to a particular place because of the hurt that will come to him. Did paul listen to that ? to God what is paramount is his word.

When God revealed that the man was an occult and you had meet him was it not right to tell him of the vision you had seen?

Does he not reveal to redeem?

Acts 16
1Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:

2Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

3Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

4And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.

5And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

7After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

8And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

10And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

11Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

12And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.


This was God's purpose.

THE WORD IS MORE IMPORTANT

We Nigerian don't understand what Prophesy means. that is why we do misunderstood prophesies

y obj didnt die was because he ran 2 daddy adeboye 4 prayers

One remarkable one was the one before Chief M.K.O Abiola contested for the presidential election in 1993. Pastor Bakare made prophetic pronouncements dissuading him from participating in the election, warning whether there was no old man in MKO's house to restrain him because once he begins, he will not come out alive. MKO Abiola died in prison as a result of the fall out of that election.

Similarly in April 1993, while Nigerians eagerly awaited the emergence of a democratically elected president, Pastor Tunde Bakare came with the shocking prophecy that neither of the two existing political parties, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) nor the National Republican Convention (NRC) will attain political power. Eleven days after the June 12 presidential election, General Ibrahim Babangida, then Military President, annulled the election.

Particularly of note is that when the exit of Babangida from power was uncertain, Bakare prophesied that either on or before 27th August 1993, he (IBB) would make mistakes that would make him go. Eventually, IBB stepped aside and the Interim National Government chaired by Ernest Shonekan was installed.

Bakare did not stop here, he was to prophesy that the Interim National Government was the "Ishbosheth factor"; a mere stopover. to be soon overtaken saying that just as Ishbosheth was disgraced and his head cut off, so would the regime of Ernest Shonekan. Abacha eventually seized power from Shonekan through a palace coup in in November 1993.

Other notable prophecies include the humiliation of the Sokoto caliphate.
