The Prophecy Of Pa Elton.
_____________________
Nigeria and Nigerian will be known for corruption worldwide but the tide will turn and Nigeria will also be known for righteousness worldwide. Many shall take hold of him that is a Nigerian, saying we will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you...( Pa Elton 1986)
My prayer is for those who wait for this prophecy of Pa Elton not to be the first to attack it and speak against it when it time of fulfilment arrives.
Because that is one mystery about prophecy, the generation who believe in it and wait for it is usually the first to begin to attack it and reject it when it comes, with the consciousness that, such can never be the fulfilment of the prophecy.
Because when Pa Elton gave the first prophecy that a time is coming when the Nation Nigeria would begin to pay the youths for evangelism, we waited for it literally but when the fulfilment came, it came as youth service ( NCCF)and I want to believe that the body of Christ will be the first to fight against it then because this was when the issue of ladies wearing trousers was a big issue in the body of Christ and now a youth service begins where the copper uniforms make it compulsory for ladies to wear trousers.
I know the generation whose the prophecy was fulfilled in their days will never believe such can be the fulfilment of the prophecy, it was later when NCCF was birthed that men began to say could this be the fulfilment of the prophecy said by Pal. Elton.
The manifestation of prophecy does not look like the Revelation of prophecy. We are waiting also now with all eagerness when the second prophecy of pa Elton about Nigeria will come to pass which says;
Nigeria and Nigerian will be known for corruption worldwide but the tide will turn and Nigeria will also be known for righteousness worldwide. Many shall take hold of him that is a Nigerian, saying we will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you...(
Get this, righteousness means God having a right standing with us, and we having a right standing with God by Faith.
So the prophecy of Pa Elton has nothing to do with moral righteousness or righteousness of the law, if that is what we are waiting for, we shall be the first to attack the prophecy when it comes to pass.
We are rejected in Nigeria by God not because of our unrighteousness but because of our self-righteousness.
God does not reject anyone or any nation because of unrighteousness under the new covenant, because where sins abound the Grace of God abounds much more
Roman:5:
20.... But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God's unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded,( Ampliefied version )
Romans 5:20
[20]...... But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant.( NLT)
But where self-righteousness abounds the anger of God abounds much more, and the punishment of God abounds much more.
Romans 4:15
[15]For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)
You can see clearly from scripture that it is not unrighteousness that brings the wrath and punishment of God, it is law, self-righteousness, trying to do good to earn God's blessing, and paying tithe to receive open heaven, this are what brought the wrath of God, because, by the deed of the law, no single person can be justified before God
Romans 3:20,27
[20]For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
[27]Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith.
Our righteousness and the righteousness the world will know Nigeria for is not moral righteousness which is of the law but righteousness of God which is of faith, which is God declaring us righteous before the whole world even in our imperfections, so it will be evidence before man that God is having a right standing with us, by the abundance of grace that will be evidence in us, because we're sin abound, great grace abound much more.
Kindly look at the last statement of the prophecy then you will understand the righteousness pal Elton is talking about....
Nigeria and Nigerian will be known for corruption worldwide but the tide will turn and Nigeria will also be known for righteousness worldwide. Many shall take hold of him that is a Nigerian, saying we will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you...( Pa Elton 1986)
.....for we have heard that God is with you......( that is the meaning of righteousness by faith )
Righteousness means God having a right standing with us based on what Christ has done, and we having a right standing with God by faith
It is knowing that God is with you by faith and men knowing that God is with you by grace
Because the manifestation of God with you is called grace, and this is what men need to see, the revelation that God is with us is called Faith, The proof and evidence that God is with us is grace.
And great grace is what nations of the world will begin to see in Africa, they will begin to see that despite our unrighteousness God is manifesting himself through us from grace to grace.
So don't let us misunderstand the prophecy of Pa Elton less the prophecy will come to pass and yet we will still be waiting for it.
Because we have defined the righteousness pa Elton is talking about to be moral righteousness, which is the righteousness of the law.
Not knowing that he's talking about God's righteousness which is the righteousness of Faith.
That is even in our corruption in this country, even in our moral unrighteousness, it will be evident before the whole world that God is with Nigeria, you begin to see men saying let us go to Africa for safety. A problem money can not solve will rise in the world and Nigeria will be preserved from it, and a voice will come saying let us go to Nigeria for safety, not let us go to Nigeria for prosperity.
On that day the way we are running out of Nigeria now into other nations for prosperity, so also nations will be running to Nigeria for safety because the national calamity that will take away peace from the earth will exempt Nigeria, and it will be evidence before all man that truly God is with Nigeria
Because on that day the red horse spoken by John in the book of Revelation will be released with a mighty sword to take away peace from the earth
Revelation 6:4
[4]Then another horse appeared, a red one. Its rider was given a mighty sword and the authority to take peace from the earth. And there was war and slaughter everywhere.
And in that time, the nations of Africa particularly Nigeria will be preserved and it will be evidence seen the grace of peace manifesting in this land, and men will begin to say let us go to Nigeria for safety.
Nations will begin to invest in Nigeria even in the corruption, just because the safest place in the world is Nigeria, and this will become the beginning of the economic solution for this country.
Never make the mistake of thinking the solution of Nigeria will come through governments or any political party, and never think also that any saviour will rise from the church through politics known as a moral righteous person and bring a solution to Nigeria's issue, in fact, if Peter obi is given the mandate, it will woast more than what we think or imagine, we only need a moral righteous rulers when things are in order, moral righteousness does not solve any problems, it only prevent problems, that is why you can be morally righteous and be poor.
Secondly the problems of Nigeria is spiritual.. So the solution is not intellectual, the solution is coming from above, and it is come on such away that no man will take the glory.. ( in fact glory will be taken away from anyone who thinks his moral righteousness is what God need to solve the problems of Nigeria.
Such as the End Sars movement does not have any leaders so also force that will sponsor the solution to Nigeria's poverty will not have any leader, either from the government or from the church
The solution, will not come through a government known for corruption and come through churches known for self-righteousness, God is coming in such a way that both the government and and churches will not be able to take the glory.
God has spoken to us in parable over this during COVID-19, that even churches were on lockdown and yet God protected Nigerian from experiencing COVID-19, Most of the COVID-19 cases mentioned in Nigeria are just manipulation figures by the government because they want to use it to get money from International bodies.
What is the point, even in that day, the church denomination was in lockdown and yet the spiritual life of 95% moved to the increase side just to let us know that activism and religion are what we are busy doing in churches, and our religion life is what we gather to build and not our spiritual life, but when the lockdown of the church begin the religious life of many begin to die and their spiritual life begins to wake up.
So when the prophecy of pa Elton will come to pass, the body of Christ waiting for it will be the first to attack it and against it, because the righteousness they are expecting is moral righteousness, self righteousness but the righteousness that is coming in is God's righteousness which is obtained by Faith.
A situation whereby nations will see clearly that God is with us even in our imperfections.
One mystery about prophecy is that it doesn't come to pass the way we think and expect it, that is why in the days of Jesus, those who wait for his prophecy are the ones who crucified him when he came.
This set that were desperately waiting for the coming of Jesus, they read it through the writings of Isaiah that unto us a child will be born and unto us, a son will be given.
And they believe it and wait for it, they structure what they are expecting in their mind and when the prophecy comes, they are the first to attack it and against it.
Those who miss prophecy are usually those who wait for prophecy.
The highest percentage of churches that will miss the rapture most also are those who are waiting for it. Because they have a structure in their mind on how the prophecy will come.
They have been told that literal angel will hold a trumpet and appear in the sky and rapture will take place. ( all those Christian films also add to the problems ) So the body of Christ now is waiting for literal angels and literal Christ to appear on the sky with trumpet, the body of Christ is waiting for 666 number to be received which without it you can't buy and seek,
The church never knows that the number is your account number, phone number, or NIN number, numbers are the languages of the spirit world just as letters are the language of the physical realm, those who are coding programs and designing a website will have a picture of what I am saying.... so your phone numbers are saying something,
Many in the body of Christ never know that that prophecy is always symbolic, and can not be interpreted as literary
The angels that will appear with Jesus at the sky as rapture are the ministers of God, the book of Revelation describes we minister of God as the angels of the seven churches, and the trumpet stands for the gospel.
And we are blowing the trumpet now but many never know we are that angel, preaching of the Gospel is the blowing of the trumpet.
Have you not read in the book of Revelation when the scripture what given the revelational meaning of trumpet?
Revelation 1:10-11
[10]It was the Lord’s Day, and I was worshiping in the Spirit. Suddenly, I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet blast.
[11]It said, “Write in a book everything you see, and send it to the seven churches in the cities of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.
Look at the scriptures very well, you will discover that the trumpet John was talking about here was not blowing, he said the trumpet was talking, an angel holding a trumpet simply means a minister of God preaching and teaching
I pray for teachers with the spirit of Revelation in this nations who can interpret prophecy, The interpretation of prophecy is not literal, if it literal and direct then it is not prophecy, that is a promise.
The difference between the prophecy of God and the promises of God is that the promise is always direct you can read it and understand it with your mind but prophecy is very symbolic, and the interpretation is Revelational, that even the prophet who gave the prophecy cannot interpret it.
The prophets of this generation begin to lose their integrity when they begin to try to interpret their prophecy by themselves, they begin to use their mind to interpret their prophecy themselves.
They think since they can give prophecy they can interpret it also.
No single prophet gives prophecy in the old and by himself knows the interpretation, they write it down and at the season of the manifestation of the prophecy God will now begin to raise men with the spirit of Revelation to give interpretation to what the spirit of prophecy has brought.
That is why the spirit of Revelation must follow the spirit of prophecy,
the work of Revelation is not to say the new things but to interpret the old things, the interpretations may be new but the source is what is written, the source is the prophecy on the ground.
Many of the prophets we have in Nigeria can see well, but the interpretation they give to what they see is what makes them to appear fake and false.
Interpretation of prophecy is not to the office of a prophet, it is to the office of a teacher with a spirit of Revelation
Releasing of prophecy is to the office of a prophet and the interpretation of prophecy through inspired teaching and preaching is to the office of a teacher.
I come in peace.
