Last Saturday, July 6th, 2024, the very enigmatic founder and leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual church, Primate Ayodele Elijah, reached a milestone in his prophetic career when he published and released the 30th edition of his annual prophetic publication, Warning To The Nations. It was a well attended event with hundred of media organisations and top media practitioners present to give coverage to the historic event. In all fairness to Primate Ayodele, he did not make a big deal of this achievement. He chose not to make so much noise about it. He kept the event low key. By nature, Primate Ayodele detests blowing his own trumpet, he prefers to stay in the background and let his work speak for him. To him, publishing a book of prophetic declarations that covers beyond Nigeria and the African continent and spreads across Europe, America and the rest of the world for three straight decades is ‘normal.’ He believes he is simply doing the job the Lord has mandated and empowered him to do. But the truth has to be told. This is not ‘normal’ like the Primate believes. To have produced 30 editions of a prohetic publication consistently for three decades is indeed a BIG deal! To release prophecies consistently for about three decades and achieving most times one hundred percent fulfilment in not child’s play. You cannot be a fake prophet in Nigeria of all places and surviver gruelling controversies and intense public scrutiny for 30 years without getting into serious trouble. In Nigeria, three years is enough for a fake prophet to be disgraced, crucified and his name totally buried and forgotten forever. To survive 30 long years constantly releasing prophecies after prophecies, not one prophecy per year like many prophets wisely do, means Prmate Ayodele Elijah has proven beyond doubt, that he has the mandate of the Almighty backing him up. And that his prophecies will continue to stand the test of time. he is here to stay for a very long time.
Let’s face it, it is not a piece of cake churning out accurate prophecies that have come to fulfilment for three decades running. This is why today he can boast of over 30,000 fulfilled prophecies. Love him or hate him, we have to give credit to this incredibly tenacious man of God. His dedication and commitment to his cause is admirable. It is unusual in this part of the globe to find a man of God who has shown such uncommon focus and consistency. Despite the challenges that come with printing high quality journals, this man of God has stayed true to his cause. He has remained undaunted by these challenges. And it must be noted that this publication is not even put out there for sale. It is not for profit making. He believes he is on a mission to let people see the awesome powers of God through confounding prophecies. All he does is release one ground breaking prophecy after another and remain consistent for more than 30 years. Now, we ask, how many of the prophets who run big churches and show off their massive wealth on social media have achieved this? How many even have the capability to achieve half of what this man of God has achieved? This is why Primate Ayodele will continue to stand heads and shoulder above all of them.
Many do not know that he did not just start his prophetic ministry few years ago. Primate Ayodele has been around for a long time, long before many of the so called prophets making noise today knew what prophecy is all about. He started from way back, well over 30 years ago just about the time the likes of great men such as Primate Olabayo, Prophet Samuel Adewole, Primate Rufus Ositelu, Professor Godspower Oyewole, Dr. Gabriel Okunzua and a few others were making headlines. These were the men that were ruling the airwaves at the time. But soon, Primate Ayodele took over from them and steadily built a name for himself. He is widely regarded as the authentic bridge between this generation of prominent seers and the younger generation that came after them.
In those early years, Primate Ayodele came out with some really ground breaking prophecies that drew enormous attention to him. One of such prophesies by Primate Ayodele published in the Weekend Times of old and written by Paul Ogwa generated quite some amount of heated reactions from the public. In the story, Primate Ayodele had foretold Nigerians that the country’s national football team, the Super Eagles, would do well in the Africa Nations cup but will fail to progress beyond the second round at the World cup held in the United States. Many Nigerians, particularly football buffs, felt the man of God was saying nonsense.
The Super Eagles had the strongest team in Africa with many of its players plying their trade in some of the biggest clubs in Europe. It was unthinkable to imagine they would not do well at the World cup. In the end, it turned out the exact way Primate Ayodele foretold it, the Super Eagles won the Nations cup but failed to go beyond the second round at the World cup. Then, in 1995 and 1996, he shocked Nigerians when he foretold the death of Kudirat Abiola. He specifically said she would be killed and indeed, Kudirat Abiola was shot dead in 1996. This sent shock waves through the length and breadth of the country. He also accurately foretold the deaths of Nnamdi Azikiwe and the assasination of Chief Bola Ige who was shot dead in December, 2001. He had warned Bola Ige to be very prayerful and careful as he could see death hovering around his head. It was from this point that that his fame began to soar. Everybody started to pay him attention. It will be recalled that Primate Ayodele also foretold that Abacha would not actualize his vision 2020 programme and that he would die in office. From that time till now, it has been one ground breaking prophecy after another consistently for close to three decades. Primate Ayodele has continued to stun many with his accurate prophecies and has even gone on to package his book, a compendium of 10,000 prophecies, never before seen in any part of the world. His church has grown astronomically in the last three decades, running three big services every Sunday, each service filled to capacity. The man has become an enigma. He warned us about the Buhari administration and the hardship it would bring upon Nigerians. He also warned us about Covid-19 even before it broke out. People didn’t believe him when he prophesied that there would be untold hardship should Tinubu win the 2023 presidential election. This prophecy on Tinubu was released around middle of 2022, long before the elections took place. It was all over social media then. He also foretold that Russia will go to war with Ukraine. What perhaps stands Primate Ayodele out is his consistency in reeling out these shattering prophecies and the rate of the accuracy of his prophecies are nothing short of astonishing. This explains why he has gradually and steadily become publicized as perhaps the most consistent accurate prophet of this generation.
Hear him: “When we started our prophecies, the first paper that used us that was very loud was Weekend Times. We were just planning to open this church then in 1995. We said that Super Eagles will win African Cup of Nations tagged Tunisia 1994 but will not perform at US 94. They put it on the cover then. They now warned me that if this prophecy fails, we will ‘blackmail you.’ The paper was the reigning newspaper then, but when the prophecy came to pass, nobody came to celebrate us. In 1995, we gave a prophecy about Kudirat Abiola’s death. The man who came for that interview was Charles Okogene. He came to me and said, you said that Kudirat Abiola will die and while I was trying to explain, he said I should be emphatic and hit it straight on the head, will she die or not?. And I said, yes, emphatically, that she will die. And not quite three months after, the prophecy came to pass. So, they got the book where I made the prophecy and started promoting me till the paper was rested. That is why I always tell people that what we do here is we receive prophecies from God, not prediction.”
Indeed, it has been a long and fruitful journey for this phenomenal man of God. His achievements and successes in his prophetic ministry, his propagation of the word of God, his philanthropic programmes and establishments have been outstanding. In about three decades, Primate Ayodele’s name has transformed into a brand that has been tested and trusted. When he speaks, people listen to him. They take his words seriously because they know he has records of thousands of warnings he issued in the past which turned out to be fulfilled prophecies that people didn’t pay attention to when he issued them. And there were sometimes grave consequences for their dismisal of his warnings.
Today, even world leaders follow his prophecies and take his warnings seriously. They don’t joke with Primate Ayodele’s prophetic declaration on the political situation in their various countries. Those who heeded to his timely advice and warnings have reaped the immense benefits of their actions, while accordingly, those who dismissed these warnings have also reaped the consequencies in full measure.
Let us give credit where it is due, the exploits of Primate Ayodele have been nothing short of phenomenal. Which other prophet can one say comes close to him as far as fulfilled prophecies are concerned? How many of them can boast to have done one tenth of what this outstanding man has achieved even in terms of philaqnthropy? We dare say there is none. And if there is one prophet that comes close to him, we ask that he steps out and come forward with his credentials. Primate Ayodele, clearly, has shown that he is in a class of his own. He has no equal and we stand to be corrected.
Congratulations once again to the great man of God on this milestone achievement!
