On November 11, 2020, Pastor Festus Agu, Senior Pastor of House of Praise Bible Church Warri, prophesied that God will bring about a new Nigeria in 2023. If this prophecy comes true neither Bola Tinubu nor Atiku Abubakar will be president in 2023.
BY PASTOR FESTUS AGU
God said to me, come 2023, He will be giving us a new Nigeria. He said to me, since I have been talking to you about your nation since 1990, has any of my word failed?
Remember how I told you Babangida will step aside? (And IBB actually used that phrase as he was leaving office). Remember how I told you Abiola will win but will not rule? Remember how I told you Abacha will die suddenly? How Obasanjo will rule for 2 terms; and how the person he will bring will die, and his deputy will rule for five years? How after five years, I will bring a man who will be like Nebuchadnezzar, who will hate God and will rule with an iron hand?
2023: THE BIRTH OF A NEW NIGERIA
“Now, I tell you, come 2023, I am giving this nation a warrior. Nigeria is going through birth pangs and a new Nigeria will be born. When the time comes, I will remove Nebuchadnezzar in a way he was not expecting. This is it. This trouble will give birth to a new Nigeria.
”THERE WILL BE NO BREAKING AWAY AND THERE WILL BE RESTRUCTURING”
To those who want to break away, there will be no breaking away; to those who say no restructuring, there will be restructuring. I’m bringing for the first time a man who will love this nation and restructuring will begin”
”I WILL GIVE YOU A SIGN”
Between now (November 2020) and 2023, the dribbler will be taken away. It shall be a sign to you. I said to the Lord, do I go to the world? And he said I’ve never told you to go to the world; the people who are with you are hearing you and sharing it. The dribbler will be taken away, a new nation will be born and there will be restructuring.
In 2023, the man is not going to be an old man; not in his 70s and 80s – I’m removing that generation. I asked the Lord, how would I know? He said, when the person comes, he will be lighter in complexion than all the people that have ever ruled your nation since independence – that is how you are going to know. When he enters the political arena, you will know. Has anything I have been speaking to you since 1990 failed? This is the encouragement. Don’t run away from your house, don’t run to Togo”
ON WARRI
Warri will be the Texas of Nigeria. My Father said to Abraham “I will bless you in Canaan but when he got there, he saw famine and ran away to Egypt but that did not change the Word of God. Out of Egypt, he came with wealth. Today, the whole world wants to go and die in the holy land. Warri is the Texas of Nigeria. In this City, you are going to be rich. The people who are bringing tribal sentiment to cause trouble, I will put to shame.
THE SALVATION OF THIS NATION IS NEARER THAN WHEN SHE BECAME A NATION
Listen, though hand join with hand, the wicked will never go unpunished. The Lord will save the seed of the righteous. Go and have hope; go and be prayerful; the salvation of this nation is nearer than when she first became a nation. I can almost touch it.
NIGERIA IN TEN YEARS
Thus says the Lord, this nation in 10 years maybe the third most important nation in the world. Thus says the Lord, Nigeria is going to be a superpower. For the first time, there is going to be such unity because the old brigade will be wiped off. The generation the Lord will use will not say you are Yoruba, you are Igbo; they are going to see themselves as Nigerians. There will be equity, regional imbalance will cease, injustice will cease because righteous people are coming. Not necessarily because they serve God but they will be the Cyruses God is going to use to heal this land because this land has been bleeding.
NIGERIA SHALL NO MORE BE MOCKED AND THOSE ABROAD SHALL RUSH BACK
This nation will no more be trampled. Your children will be involved. Time is coming – sooner than later, Nigerians who are abroad, will be rushing down to this place and my in-laws will come here and remain (laughs, his wife is a Greek). Listen, when righteousness comes, the people who have hindered you will be uprooted. You don’t seem to understand: witches will die; all the occultic people who have siezed the government and the prosperity of this nation will die. Righteousness will spring up in this nation called Nigeria.
A SIGN OF GOD’S COVENANT WITH NIGERIA – A RAINBOW IN THE SKY OVER NIGERIA FOR 3 DAYS!
Thus says the Lord, I will give you another sign, “ a day is coming, I will put a Rainbow over Nigeria which people will see for three days. For 72 hours the Rainbow will not go away and the people of the land will know that I, the Lord, have come into covenant with this nation called Nigeria. Do you know that Nigeria has supported nations that were suffering? From South Africa to Namibia to Zimbabwe? But in 1977, Nigeria hosted FESTAC and black people from all over the world came and dropped their demons here and trouble began.
THE DAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS COME
The Lord will use the youth of Nigeria to flush out this wicked generation. There will be those who will take advantage to do evil but the day of righteousness has come and this nation will no more be mocked. The wicked shall not prevail. They shall be punished; God’s people shall enjoy this nation for the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness there of. It’s time to turn our mourning into dancing.
THE NEXT SET OF LEADERS WILL FEAR THE LORD
Six months before Abacha died, I said to the Lord, why are you removing Abacha? And He said, because Abacha has put Nigeria in his pocket as if it’s his private property. I will show him that this nation belongs to me. When the prophecy came, some people were laughing. These birth pangs, very soon a new Nigeria shall be born. The people who have siezed the prosperity of this nation are already under a curse (Prov 11:26). In 2023, God will give us a leader. Will there be crises? Yes; birth pangs! The next set of leaders will be very careful. They will be afraid”!
