This Month's Teaching (February, 2026)
The Season of False Prophecies
Main Text: 1st Kings 22: 20-38
From the first day of November each year, through to the last day of January of the following year, a season for false prophecies worldwide, especially from African Church leaders, begins. This is the time of the year they spew out their lying prophecies and predictions for the coming year. Over the years, they have claimed to have the power to prophesy success to people, know major world events occurring in the coming year and have predicted the outcomes of elections in many countries, especially in the United States. This Church examined these predictions and prophecies over the past 5 years and found the following disturbing trends:
-
All their prophecies and predictions failed, even though they claimed that God gave them these prophecies.
-
The first excuse these preachers and prophets gave for their failed prophecies is that “God changed His mind” concerning the prophecies.
-
Upon the failures of these prophecies, these preachers and prophets often made haste to delete them from their social media accounts.
-
When the rest of the world laughed at their failed prophecies, these preachers and prophets modified their prophecies to mean that it will happen in the future or flat out denied they ever prophesied what had failed to happen after they claimed that it will.
Their history of prophetic lies is not new. Many of these same preachers and prophets have prophesied healing to their followers with serious health problems in the past, only to see them die a few weeks or months later. So, this month, we will be examining the dangers these false preachers and prophets pose to their followers, and to the rest of the world under the following topics: Characteristics of false prophets and their false prophecies, causes of the rise in the proliferation of false prophets and their false prophecies, cases of false prophets and their false prophecies, and caution against false prophets and their false prophecies.

Characteristics of false prophets and their false prophecies
Time and time again in the Old Testament, God revealed the characters of false prophets and warned us about the danger they pose to our present lives and our eternal destinies. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ our Gracious Master also took His time to reveal them, and warn us
about them. From time immemorial, the characteristics of false prophets have not changed. They are:
a. False prophets are never spoken to, or sent by God even though they claim to be. In Jer 23:30, God warned: “Therefore, behold, I am against the
prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words everyone from his neighbour”. They “steal words from their neighbors”, i.e. they eavesdrop on events, or borrow
what they already know about someone or an event, to frame a prophecy. Lamentations 3:37: “Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord
commandeth it ot?”
b. False prophets never prophesy to warn people of the consequences of their evil doings, wickedness, or things in their lives that
provokes God to anger, but always prophesy smooth things-sweet messages that tickle the ears of their hearers and give them a false sense
of security-Jer 6:13-14: “For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the
priest every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace”.
They tell people things like, reaping without first sowing, sowing without tendering, and blessings without hard work. They tell their hearers
that Abraham had silver and gold [Gen 24:25], without mentioning Abraham’s enormous hard work over the space of 100 years of his life;
they promise their hearers “a cattle upon a thousand hills” [Psalm 50:10], without mentioning the hard work required to care for the cattle;
they promise their hearers in Africa that God will bring them to America their promised land without mentioning that America is $37 Trillion
in debt, or that America is now the habitation of everything abominable in the sight of God. Lamentations 2: 14: “Thy prophets have seen
vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thy iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of
banishment”.
c. False prophets always cause their hearers to be unrepentant by the sweet lies they prophesy to them. Jer 23: 26-27: “How long shall
this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name
by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal”.
d. False prophets are filled (engulfed) with the spirit of error-a spirit that cannot change because its foundation is “Error”. They are ordained
unto perdition by this spirit of error.
2. Causes of the rise in the proliferation of false prophets and their false prophecies
Over the years, we have tried to figure out why people just wake up one morning to lie to the whole world that God told them something or
God sent them somewhere when God hasn’t. Here are some of the things we found out:
a. God Himself allows the activities of these false prophecies to test whether we (those of us who claim to know Him), are following his Words
or not, and to test whether we are putting on His discerning spirit. Deuteronomy 13: 1-3: “If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of
dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou
hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to
know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul”.
b. There's a general lack of interest in the ways of God, and therefore the Word of God, by people-Jer 6:10: “To whom shall I speak, and give
warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no
delight in it”.
c. People who refuse to embrace the truth of Christ that will set them free [John 8:32] are sent a strong delusion by God to believe lies that will
destroy them-2nd Thessalonians 2:10-12: “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the
truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who
believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness”.
d. Because the church today has been turned into an “Emotional” massage parlor and therapy house, people come expecting to hear sweet,
smooth therapeutic prophecies. Isaiah 30:9-10: “That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: Which say to
the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits”:
e. The quest for fame and reputation in their congregation. Most people who attend Church today often seek Churches where they can receive
“good” prophecies from their church leaders, while they ignore the primary reason anyone should be going to Church today, which is to
"seek The Lord, til He come and rain righteousness upon you"- [Hosea 10:12]. Also, because of their exposure to the false doctrine of “Gain is
godliness”, people are drawn to these prophesying preachers. Afterall, who wouldn’t feel good about a prophecy about wealth?
f. Portrayal of a “Pastor-coequal-with-Christ” image.
In many religious assemblies disguised as churches today, the preacher/pastor/prophet is portrayed often as someone coequal with Christ,
with same power and authority to “degree” anything in the church. You will hear these pastors and prophets say, “The anointing breaks the
yoke”, (often referring to their own anointing), even though there’s nowhere in the scriptures where God made the anointing of a pastor a
“yoke-breaker”. For the record, it is the anointing of Jesus Christ that breaks our yokes-not the pastor’s anointing-Isaiah 61:1-4,
Luke 4:16-22, Act 10:38.
g. The quest for fame and exultation
Followers of these preacher/prophets believe that the prophecies they receive, even though they never come to pass, solidifies their church’s
fame and bragging rights among religious organizations.
h. The “Spirit of deep sleep”, aka, the “Spirit of Error”
Isa 29:10: “For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the
seers hath he covered”. God is saying that the “Spirit of deep sleep”, aka, the “Spirit of Error” is one of the major causes of false prophecies.
i. Ignorance of the truth, and spiritual blindness.
Isa 42:19 -20: “Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the
LORD'S servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not”.
j. Arrogance and “preacher pride”
Jer 10:21 – “For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered”.
k. Self-imposed bondage of their followers
Isa 42:22 – “But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none
delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore”.
3. Cases of false prophets and their false prophecies
In the Old Testament:
a. In 1st Kings 22:20-38, 400 false prophets of King Ahab who prophesied victory to him, which turned out to be a lie that claimed Ahab’s life.
b. In Jer 28:1-17, Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, prophesied the opposite of God’s Word and Will concerning the exile of the Israelis.
In the New Testament
c. In 2nd Peter 2:1, we are warned that:“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction”.
d. In 2nd Tim 2:18, we are warned about Hymenaeus and Philetus- “And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who
concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some”.
4. Caution against false prophets and their false prophecies
The true prophecy from God has the following traits:
a. It never contradicts the word, will, way, instruction or message from God or from Christ: Jer 23: 28: “The prophet that hath a dream, let
him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD”.
b. It never promises wealth without hard work, liberty without responsibility, or godly favors without a relationship with the “True” God.
c. It is always recipient/receiver-specific: either to an individual, or to group/community of people, or to nation/group of nations.
d. It always have reasons for the prophecy: Blessing? Caution? Rebuke? Reproof? Correction? Punishment?
e. It is always detailed and time-sensitive, and answers these 4 questions in detail: What? Why? When? Where?
f. It is always conditional: “This prophecy is coming because of this”, and “If you do this, then this”, “If you don’t do this, then this”
g. You will be reduced to a “good for nothing”, if you continue to listen to the lies of these false prophets, and their yearly failed prophecies.
Jer 13:10 – “This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to
worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing”.
h. God Himself destroys false prophets and their followers-Jeremiah 14:15-16: “Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in
my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. And the people to
whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives,
nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them”
Conclusion
We don’t need new prophecies today because God’s prophecies are complete; given to the Old Testament prophets, and also by Christ to the church, and they are brilliantly written down by the prophets and by the Apostles of Christ. Christ Himself said: “IT-IS-FINISHED”, i.e. the work of salvation is accomplished, every prophecy has been given, and everything we need to know about God has been revealed. Instead, we should be studying the prophecies that God has already revealed. Do not listen to these prophets, and don’t read their prophetic posts on social media, because they are prophesying lies to you, year after year. Their lying prophecies of “peace”, and “prosperity” are to lure more donors to support their covetous lifestyles. These prophecies are never fulfilled because God did not speak to, or send them. In Jer 23: 16-17, “Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you”. We urge you to prepare instead for the tribulation and prepare also for the rapture. If you have not yet met our Great Master Jesus, we urge you to seek Him now. He will reveal Himself to you, and give you the truth that has set many free and will set you free.
