ABUJA PROPHET WHO PREDICTED THE BOMB BLAST 24HRS BEFORE IT HAPPENED OPENS UP...

Prophet ThankGod Abam is the General Overseer of the Intercessory Prayer Ministry (IPM), which has its headquarters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State and Northern Regional office in Abuja. The Port Harcourt-based cleric during a ministration last Sunday at the Abuja branch of the church told the congregation that he got a revelation from God that there was going to be bloodshed in Abuja on Monday morning and asked members of the church to pray against bloodshed and also be careful about their movement the next day, Monday. At about 6:35 am that Monday, an explosion rocked the Nyanya motor park in Abuja, leaving scores dead and hundreds wounded.  Our reporter, NKECHI ONYEDIKA who was at the church service when the prophesy came, went back to get more details on the prophesy and much more from Prophet Abam and the way out in this interview. Excerpts:
WE are in a very critical time in the history of this country considering the problems of insecurity and other challenges confronting the nation, what is the way out?
No one in this country is happy about what is going on at present, including the leaders. That people sleep with their two eyes open for the fear of unknown is really pathetic. Therefore, we the men of God are on our knees daily, praying for peace and asking God to intervene so that this bloodshed and calamity would come to an end. Every Nigerian should hold onto God and keep asking Him for mercy. If the calamity that has befallen Nigeria is due to sins of a man, may the mercy of God intervene, especially in this Easter period. We pray and believe that one day, this nonsense will stop.
 During church service on Sunday before Easter, you got a revelation that there was going to be bloodshed in Abuja on Monday morning and it came to pass. Tell us more about this.
I am a prophet of the Almighty God. We, the prophets hear from the throne of Grace. After ministration on Sunday, I wanted to drop the microphone but the Lord spoke to me and said: “Go back to the pulpit, that the enemy was about to do something stupid, pray for safety, and about 1,000 people at the church service saw me crying and asking God for mercy because I saw bloodshed all over. God told me there was going to be bloodshed specifically on Monday morning in Abuja, we prayed for Divine protection but the problem was that there was no solution. Why this thing happened was because as at the time the Lord spoke to me, there was no solution at all. One thing is for you to hear the voice of God and another thing is for you to get a solution. Every prophesy goes with assignment. I asked God, what will be the solution because every prophesy must have a solution because when there is a solution, there must be a redemption but when there is no solution, what God said will surely come to pass. Everyone should be careful when they hear, “Thus says the Lord, He has never lied before. More than 200 persons lost their lives but a 10-month old baby boy was preserved. God preserved such person for a time like this just as God preserved Moses. If this had happened without a prophesy, we would have called it a disaster, but God saw it and used me His servant to reveal it. Later on that Sunday night, God spoke that the only solution was for President Goodluck Jonathan himself to be on his knees and call upon the name of The Lord. That night, I tried calling the Presidency. I tried calling the Chief Security Officer (CSO) and everyone I know to see if this message can get to Mr. President but there was no response and it came to pass. So, there was a solution but the solution was not carried out because of distance and security. The incident would have been averted had the massage got to Mr. President. But the problem is that the President is surrounded by people that are not born again. He is surrounded by people that don’t give him the right information and advice. The Lord says: “If the people that are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face, I will heal the land”. What we need in Nigeria is prayers and not roadblocks. If we have 200 roadblocks, 80 per cent of them are manned by Boko Haram. One day, I was going to Kaduna to preach and a car behind me was carrying weapons and the driver was dressed in security uniform. I stopped and told the policemen at the roadblock to search the car. They asked me if I was a security agent and I told them that I am a Prophet of God and the policemen replied, “Abeg carry your wahala pass.” Can you imagine their response? But God had told me that the car following was evil. If the policemen were born again, they would have listened to me. I called people around the President and said, “Pass this message across to Mr. President” and they said: “Oh, we have been hearing this.” Now it has happened. Caution is better than sorry. Nigeria needs prayers and I believe God will fight for us. The way out is for every child of God to call upon the name of the Lord for this calamity to come to an end. Nigeria needs God. You, the journalists need God so that this calamity will come to an end.
What in your opinion is responsible for the insecurity and other challenges facing the country today?
Every government that had existed in this country had something that followed them. There was a time we experienced flood and kidnapping and now it is Boko Haram. I don’t think it has anything to do with the inability of government to provide employment. Nigerians can cope with any situation. There is the hand of the devil involved in all of this because a righteous man is on the throne. All these things are happening because a man chosen by God is on the throne.
What makes you think that President Jonathan is chosen by God?
Yes, Jonathan did not become a president by election. He became a president by prophesy. Once anyone becomes a leader by prophesy, there would be battles around to pull him down. That is why anyone trying to oppose his election is wasting his time because the country needs good luck. President Jonathan is a gift to this country and it was a prophesy that brought him there.
Which prophesy brought him into power and through who?
God spoke, I don’t know, but I have served this God for the past 25 years. If anyone wins election, what we do is to pray for the person and ask God if the person is the right person to be there. After the death of President Yar’adua, I did a four-day prayer with 29 prophets from different parts of the country. We met at the Camp of Faith, Okigwe and we told God that if President Goodluck Jonathan is not the right man to rule this country, let death snatch him. But on the last day of the meeting the Lord said: “That is my chosen one. This is why, no matter the battle, no matter the arrows shot at him, they will never affect him because the hand of God is upon him. I am not saying this for any gain. The President is not my church member, he has never given me any kobo but he is the chosen one.
But is it not contrary to what is written in the Scriptures that when the righteous is in power, the people rejoice?
The people rejoice truly but there are enemies that would fight. When Jesus was born, Herod stood up; he killed a lot of people because Jesus was coming to be king. It is Biblical. People paid with their lives. Look at what happened. A lot of people died, but a 10-month old baby was saved. God is involved. We are not talking politics, we are talking about saving of lives. When Jesus was born, a king was angry and he slaughtered a lot of people because the chosen one was about to take over. We have been talking about peace, but to bring an end to this ugly situation, we need God.
Do you think government is doing enough to address the insecurity problem in the country?
The President declared state of emergency in three states in the North East but the attacks are still going on. Government acquired bomb detectors and other gadgets but the thing is still happening. That is not what we need. Let Christians and Muslims, religious leaders in this country come together and call upon the Lord with one mind. Who is Boko Haram? These are human beings and they are being sponsored by some individuals to deal with government. If these terrorists are killing senators, I wouldn’t have prayed, if they were killing the leaders, no problem. But they should stop killing poor, innocent people. They should stop setting bombs in Nyanya where poor people reside. I am talking to you because God wants me to reply, I have received a lot of calls since that Monday, people crying and asking me what would be the solution. I have been a prophet for 20cyears and I know what God can do.
Should President Jonathan run for re-election in 2015?
If President Jonathan has not declared whether he will run or not run for 2015 election, then something is wrong.
But do you think it is necessary for President Jonathan to contest the 2015 election?
I said Jonathan is still the President. Any election coming next year is just a mere exercise, it is just to fulfill the law, he is still the President, that is just it. I said he is the chosen one, he must complete his eight years. It is turn by turn. Others have done their part, lets leave the man to do his. The preparations by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are just like when you put on a generator, you must switch it on for light to come. INEC is a generator, if they fail to conduct the election, it is against the law. There must be election, so let Attahiru Jega do his preparations, but Jonathan is still there.
Are there issues you would want deliberated upon at the on-going National Conference?
What this National Conference should talk about is for us to love one another. They should dwell on it. What they are talking about now are their own topics, they talk about peace and security but some of them came to the conference with 10 policemen. A senator has so many policemen guarding him, so what we need is love for one another.
Some people predicted that Nigeria would disintegrate by 2015. What is your take on this?
Predicted or prophesied? No, anything that is not prophesy cannot happen. I don’t know anything about predictions, I am a prophet, I believe in prophesy and anything that is not prophesy is not me. ‘Thus says the Lord’ is what we stand for and God has not said that Nigeria would disintegrate. It is a lie, God has not spoken. If God says it will happen, then it will come to pass, but God has not spoken. For us to continue as one indivisible nation, we need God.
Why do they call you a prophet because most Nigerians don’t believe in that title, while some say what we have are false prophets?
You want to know why I am a prophet? Why are you a journalist? If people are saying false prophets, we equally have fake journalists, fake presidents, fake doctors, fake lawyers. We have fake in everything but you don’t expect the whole world to believe in what you believe.
What massage do you have for Nigerians?
Peace, togetherness and love, that is what I wish Nigerians.
