Pastor Bayo Oluwayemi has openly criticized prophets who deliver misleading prophecies designed to deceive their followers rather than encourage them to embrace hard work and personal responsibility.
In a recent video shared on the church’s Instagram page, Pastor Oluwayemi, the Senior Pastor of The Word International Christian Centre, also known as Wonders’ Chapel, strongly condemned the practice of giving empty, “make-believe” prophecies that lack substance or genuine guidance.
The pastor posed a direct question to his audience, challenging them to reflect on their achievements for the year. “Last year, they said this year is your year; what have you achieved?” he asked. Pastor Oluwayemi accused some prophets of skillfully crafting prophecies that exploit the hopes of their followers without fostering any real growth or progress.
“There are some prophets that should be arrested for making promises that don’t come to pass,” he declared. “When they said this year is your year, what did you do about it? Did you learn a skill, go to school, or take any meaningful steps? Or did you just wait for miracles? It is deception.”
The preacher emphasized that faith must be accompanied by action, stressing that no prophecy can yield results without individual effort. “Until you move, nothing may move!” he concluded, urging his audience to adopt a proactive approach to achieving their goals.
Pastor Oluwayemi’s bold message has sparked widespread discussions online, with many praising his courage for addressing such a sensitive issue within the faith community. His call for accountability and focus on self-development has resonated with many, encouraging believers to shift from relying solely on prophecies to taking tangible steps toward success.
