‘God said it will happen doesn’t mean it will happen’ – Pastor who prophesied Osinbajo’s victory backtracks
Olugbemiga Olowosoyo, a pastor who prophesied that Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria’s vice president, will clinch the APC presidential ticket, has backtracked.
Olowosoyo says Osinbajo needed prayers to win, as according to him, when God says something, it still needs prayers to happen.
Recall that Osinbajo came third in the poll, securing 235 votes in the primary election won by Bola Tinubu.
A report by Church Times quoted Olowosoyo to have said that he went back to God when the vice-president did not win the primary election.
The cleric said his prophecy needed prayers for it to happen.
“The fact that God said something will happen does not mean it will happen. You have to pray it into existence,” the publication quoted him as saying.
“Did you see Jesus? When he came to the world, he had to go and fast and pray for 40 days and nights, praying for his destiny even though it had been prophesied.”
However, he said Osinbajo would still become president.
“Osinbajo was not meant to win primaries, he was not meant to contest at all. I will tell Osinbajo to go and be faithful to his job as vice-president,” he said.
“It is in being vice-president that you will become president. If you are not Osinbajo you will not understand what I said. But if you are close to Osinbajo, tell him that I said so.
“Let him go and be vice-president to Buhari. The era of Buhari is ending very soon.”

Please let’s be careful the ways we use or say God said when He ( GOD) did not say. God watch HIS word to perform it. Not by prayer please. Is it the same God who told us since four year ago that ” He Osinbanjo will get the UN highest job” that now what to make him Nigeria president?
God’s counsel concerning matter is sure with or without prayers.
Shalom!
We are just HIS Messengers.

Not really so.Some prophecies can be conditional.
New King James Version Jeremiah 18:5-10 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel! The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.
