‘You sit on social media and talk nkwasiasem’ — Nigel Gaisie blasts critics over failed World Cup prophecy

Prophet Nigel Gaisie has defended the work of prophets following criticism over football-related prophecies that failed to materialise during the ongoing FIFA World Cup.

His response follows widespread reactions on social media after his prediction that South Africa would be eliminated in the group stage did not come to pass. Several other Ghanaian prophets who made similar predictions have also come under intense public scrutiny.

In a social media post, Prophet Gaisie argued that many of those criticising prophetic ministry have never had a genuine encounter with a prophet and therefore do not understand its purpose.

“If you have not experienced a prophet or the prophetic personally before, you will sit on social media and talk ‘NKWASIASEM’.

Avail yourself to meet a true Prophet of God, then you will appreciate the role and the impact of true Prophetism. God is still speaking,” he wrote.

He also encouraged fellow prophets to remain steadfast despite public criticism, describing attacks against prophetic ministry as inevitable.

“To you, the prophet, know that the prophetic comes with heavy attacks and hate, but be courageous.

“Let the Holy Spirit lead you always, don’t be intimidated by their hate, criticism and human interest. Reveal Jesus and keep speaking the mind of Jesus Christ only,” he stated.

Prophet Gaisie further maintained that prophetic messages are not meant for everyone, insisting that only those spiritually connected to a prophet would understand and embrace such revelations.

“Not all are called unto you, not all will understand spiritual works and protocols. Those who are called to you will take heed to your prophetic inspirations,” he added.

He also lamented what he described as Ghana’s treatment of genuine prophets, suggesting that true prophetic voices are often rejected while others are wrongly elevated.

“Ghana, a nation that destroys its prophets and calls others who are not prophets, prophet,” he wrote.

He ended his remarks with an appeal for the public to respect the work of prophets and allow them to carry out their ministry without undue attacks.

“Leave the prophets alone to do their work,” he concluded.
