The just-concluded 2023 Presidential election in Nigeria reflected the usual tribal and religious jingoism Nigerians have become accustomed to. It also came with an unprecedented dimension in that it was a wonderful theatricalization of the days of the struggle for Jerusalem between Christian Crusaders and Muslims in the religious sense, a seeming prequel to a civil war in the tribal sense, and a non-evangelical conversion of some acclaimed sons and daughters of God into skepticism.

The Church played an active role in the skepticism that has engulfed some of its members. Having being asked to take back their country, the altar became a tool of politics with fake prophecies, lies, manipulations, and propaganga. Innocent Christians who, instead of reading the Bible for themselves, listened to their so-called men of God gullibly. The election was said to be God’s agenda, revelations here and there.

“Thus saith the Lord…An Angel spoke to me…I had a revalation” were the beginning of many of these lies. These Christias who had thought these so-called Prophets actually heard from God became dissapointed with some of them vowing not to worship God again. Some of them claimed to be seeking Islam and it is for that purpose this article is written. I have compiled some fake prophecies and lies from Pastors about the election: https://youtu.be/n2KAW1Bq-Vo

In this article, we will analyze the prophecy of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy who said an Angel of God spoke to him about three candidate which he described as a demon, a thief, ad a saint. Note that  Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party were the top candidates. After the election, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was anounced the the winner of the election.

For the first candidate, he said, ““He is not himself. He is under the influence of a devil. This devil was mocking and laughing, scoffing at Nigerians.”

The devil is using him. It’s a wicked spirit of darkness, a mocker. The devil’s named him a jackal. A jackal is a trickster, a swindler who usually operates on behalf of another for deception. This demon is mocking Nigeria. But he’s been cut off.”

On the second candidate, he claimed that the spiritual prophecy revealed him to be a thief and would run the country down.

“In the spirit of the second candidate, if you let him get into office, you will have no country. You would have sold your country,” he said.

On the final candidate, he revealed although his name is in the bible, he is scared of winning but doesn’t want to lose. ”Then, in the spirit, the third candidate was afraid of winning. He didn’t want to lose, but he was scared of winning. Then I prayed, Lord gives him wings to fly! His name is in the Bible.” He said

Nigerians thought he was referring to Peter Obi because Peter is in the Bible. Following Tinubu’s victory, there were talks that Oyakhilome is a fake prophet since Obi did not win. Little did these people know that Oyakhilome, who might not know himself, was referrig to Bola AHMED Tinubu because the name AHMAD is in the Bible!

Prophet Muhammad in the Bible

The Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was mentioned by name in the Bible but Pastors do not show it to their memebers.

Allah says in the Qur’an,

“And ˹remember˺ when Jesus, son of Mary, said, “O children of Israel! I am truly Allah’s messenger to you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving good news of a messenger after me whose name will be Aḥmad.” Yet when the Prophet came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This is pure magic.” Al-Quran 61:6

“… Those who follow the Messenger, the Immaculate One, whom they find mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel which are with them.” Al-Quran 7:158

The Prophet said in an authentich hadith, ”

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“I have many names: I am Muhammad, I am Ahmad, I am al-Mahi through whom Allah obliterates unbelief, and I am Hashir (the gatherer) at whose feet people will be gathered, and I am ‘Aqib (after whom there would be none), and Allah has named him as compassionate and merciful.” Sahih Muslim 2354

In the book of Isaiah, God addresses his servants by their names. For example, “my servant Isaiah” (Isaiah 20:3); “my servant Eliakim” (Isaiah 22:20); “my servant David!” (Isaiah 37:35); “my servant Jacob” (Isaiah 41:8), etc.

Isaiah 42 reads;

“Behold! My Servant, Ahmad (whom I uphold); My Elect One, in whom My soul delights!

 [Isaiah 42:1]

The Masoretic text of Isaiah 42:1 goes like this:

הן עבדי אתמך בו בחירי רצתה נפשי נתתי רוחי עליו משפט לגויbdיוציא

The Hebrew word, “(Etmokh) אחמד” was translated to “whom I uphold”. This is the only Biblical verse where this word appears. the similarity between the writing of “אתמך”(etmokh) and the writing of “אחמד” which is the name Ahmad suggests an intended distortion by Bible scribes as we can see in another chapter of the Bible.

In John 1:19-21, we read;

19. And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, WHO ART THOU?

20. And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I AM NOT THE CHRIST.

21. And they asked him, What then? ART THOU ELIAS? And he saith, I am not. ART THOU THA PROPHET? And he answered, No.

John 1:19:21 KJV

Three questions!
Please note that three different and distinct questions were posed to John the Baptist (pbuh) and to which he gave three emphatic “NO’S” as answers.
To recapitulate
(1) ART THOU THE CHRIST?
(2)ART THOU ELIAS?
(3)ART THOU THAT PROPHET?

One challenge that Pastors, Evangelists, Bishops and Missionaries have not found answer to is to tell us the ame of this Prophet who has no name. The name of Jesus and Elias were mentioned, who then was that third Prophet, why not mention his name?. The Jews had the prophecy of a Prophet to come as we can read in the book of Deuteronomy 18:18;

‘I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him.”

A Prophet like unto Moses, it says. Christian apologists reject the Muslim idea of who was that unnamed Prophet making claim that it iwas Jesus. We make comparisons as to who was really a Prophet like unto Moses.

BELOW ARE SOME SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MOSES, MOHAMMAD AND JESUS (peace be upon them)

These similarities and differences proved the fact that, Jesus is not the prophet prophesied by Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18, and Jesus is not “THAT PROPHET” in John 1:19-21

BIRTH

Moses and Mohammad were given birth to naturally while Christ was given birth to miraculously which against the natural birth of Moses and Mohammad (peace be upon them). This clearly depict Jesus is not like Moses.

JESUS WAS REJECTED BY HIS PEOPLE

Moses and Mohammad were accepted by their people in their life time, no doubt the Jews gave endless trouble to Moses and they murmured in the wilderness, as a nation they later accept him to be a prophet of God sent to them. The Arabians too made mohammad life impossible but later accept him to be a messenger of Allah before his demise.
According to the Bible, Jesus Christ was rejected by his people. We read in the book of St. John, “He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” – John 1:11

Even today after two thousand years his people (the Jews) still reject him.

MARRIAGE TIES

Moses and Mohammad married and begat children. Jesus remained bachelor through out his life on earth (peace be upon them)

DEATH

Moses and Mohammad died and they were buried. But Jesus was raised up alive. (Peace be upon them)

NO NEW LAWS

Moses and Mohammad brought laws and regulations to their people, Moses did not only gave the ten commandments but he brought a ceremonial laws as a guidance for his people.

Mohammad comes to a people steeped in barbarism and ignorance, they buried their daughters alive, idolatry, adultery, drunkenness and gambling were the order of the day. Mohammad brought laws and regulations that elevated his people from darkness to light.

In regards Jesus, when the Jews felt suspicious of Jesus that he might be an imposter with design to pervert their teachings, Jesus took time to assure them that he had not come with a new religion, new laws and new regulations:

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Matthew 5:17

In other words he had not come to introduce new religion, new rules and new regulations. He had come to fulfil the old laws.

HOW THEY DEPARTED

Moses and mohammad died natural death, but according to Christianity Jesus was violently killed on the cross.

PARENTS

Moses had father and mother, mohammad had father and mother but Jesus had only mother and no human-father.

Whether you are tired of the lies of your Pastors or you still live in the delusion that Jesus brought Christianity, Kindly understaand that Jesus Christ lived his life as a Muslim totally submitting to the will of God (This is Islam). He believed in one God, not trinity as written in Mark 12:29 same as Moses as written in Deuteronomy 6:4. Against the contemporary Christian’s mode of worship, Jesus Christ never danced, sang and clapped to worship and praise God. His disposition on God’s nature was made manifest when, in a response to Satan’s tempation, he said in Matthew 4:10, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’. Here, he referenced Moses who said the same in Deuteronomy 6:13.
