Pastor Joshua Mhlakela who falsely predicted the Rapture awkwardly asks viewers to be patient

A South African pastor who predicted that the Rapture would take place between September 23 and 24 2025, has come under fire after the prophecy failed to materialize, leaving his followers disillusioned and critics vindicated.

Pastor Joshua Mhlakela went viral earlier this year after he claimed that Jesus appeared to him in a vision and told him the Rapture would occur during the Jewish Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashanah. The Rapture, a belief held by some evangelical Christians, teaches that Jesus will return to take true believers to heaven while others remain on earth to endure tribulation before the world’s end.

The prediction fueled a wave of hysteria on TikTok dubbed “RaptureTok,” with believers and skeptics alike reacting to the pastor’s declaration. But when the dates passed without incident, disappointment quickly set in. Mhlakela hosted a livestream on the night of September 23 and, as the clock ticked down with no divine intervention, he urged viewers to be patient. He assured his audience that “the Lord is on his way” and would arrive “with a host of angels.” At 12:17 a.m. on September 24, he and his guests ended the broadcast by telling followers to “keep waiting” because “September 23rd, 24th. One of these two days, he is coming.” The livestream has since been deleted, and Mhlakela has not posted online since.

The fallout has been swift. Several faith leaders and influencers who had amplified his claims have since apologized. Among them was Australian preacher Tilahun Desalegn, who went as far as selling his car, believing he would no longer need it. “I won’t need her beyond September, because I’m going home to where my father in heaven is,” he said in a now-viral video. After the Rapture failed to occur, he admitted, “I will never publicly talk about the Rapture again.” Nigerian preacher Kingsalem Igwe also retracted his earlier support for Mhlakela, telling followers, “I’m here with all humility to apologize to everyone. I only believed a man who claimed Jesus told him.”

Many Christians were critical from the outset, warning that Mhlakela’s prophecy contradicted scripture. “Do not be deceived! No man knows when Jesus will return,” one viewer wrote in response to the livestream. Another urged him to admit he was mistaken: “Just admit you didn’t hear from God. He’s coming, but not when YOU said.” Prominent pastor and author Vladimir Savchuk echoed this, stating that anyone who sets a date for the Rapture “is directly contradicting Jesus’s word.”

Mhlakela first revealed his prophecy three months ago in an interview with CettwinzTV, insisting he had seen Jesus on his throne, who told him clearly that he would return on September 23 or 24, 2025. The claim not only unsettled believers but also sparked humorous reactions online, with some TikTok users joking about whether pets would be included in the Rapture. One widely shared video showed a man hoisting his dog into the air as if preparing it for salvation.

While many are now dismissing Mhlakela’s failed prediction as another chapter in a long history of unfulfilled prophecies, the incident highlights how quickly religious claims can gain traction online, and the consequences when they collapse under the weight of unmet expectations.

Thank You Jesus,

HYMN:

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!

That calls me from a world of care,

And bids me at my Father’s throne

Make all my want and wishes known;

In seasons of distress and grief,

My soul has often found relief,

And oft escaped the tempter’s snare,

By the return, sweet hour of prayer.🎵

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!

The joy I feel, the bliss I share,

Of those whose anxious spirits burn

With strong desires for thy return!

Where God my Savior shows His face,

And gladly take my station there,

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.🎵

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!

Thy wings shall my petition bear,

To Him whose truth and faithfulness

Engage the waiting soul to bless;

And since He bids me seek His face,

Believe His word and trust His grace,

I’ll cast on Him my every care,

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.🎵

Unlocking Spiritual Secrets in Our World

Posted on September 22, 2025 by Prayer

The Secret Things Belong Unto The Lord Our God

The secret things belong unto the Lord Our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law (Deuteronomy 29:29)

One Bible character who had access to great revelations through the help of the Holy Spirit was Ezekiel.

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, Ezekiel 37:1

The children of Israel at this point in time were groaning under Babylonian captivity. They saw themselves as withered away and having no hope (Ezekiel 37:11). It took Ezekiel’s being in the Spirit, and connecting with the Holy Spirit to discover what God had in store for them; to help them see that captivity was not their end but rather God was going to restore them back to the Promised Land (Ezekiel 37:12-14). Our God is the Custodian of secrets. However, there are some of His secret we need for our benefit as well as for the benefit of our loved ones, church members, etc. until we through our spirit man link up with the Holy Spirit, we may be denied such revelations. May you not be denied the secrets you need to enter your destiny in Jesus Christ Name! Amen! This explains why it is good to go into God’s presence on Sunday morning fasting. Also, it is very beneficial to pray in the spirit at least one or two hours daily. How often are you in spirit?

As a Christian, you choose either to walk in the spirit or in the flesh (carnal). The spiritual growth of a carnal Christian is pegged, except the fellow decide to deal with the flesh. As long as you allow or tolerate carnality in your life, you may not be able to access deep spiritual truths that can change your life and that of others. Galatians 5:17 says the flesh and the spirit are in opposition. To walk in the spirit, discipline the flesh. Your flesh craves for pleasure and loves to be indulged in things contrary to the spirit. Deny it! The extent of your spiritual ascent is determined by the degree to which you deny or subdue your flesh. To successfully keep your flesh under like Paul, you must be prepared to cooperate with The Holy Spirit. Screen what you see, read or watch. Destroy any lust breeding material such as in tapes, CDs, DVDs, printed materials, internet, etc. deliberately choose the television programmes you watch. Hear no evil, touch no evil and see no evil.

Every divine secret you need to know but you fail to get will cause you regrets. Ask God for the revelation of every secret you need to know now!

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Lessons from the Love of King David and Michal in Our World

Posted on September 21, 2025 by Prayer

Advertisements

Marriage is deeper than we think! Part 1

The saddest love story in the bible is the story of King David and Michal King Saul’s Daughter.

Twice it was mentioned how much Michal loved David.

In 1 Samuel 18:20 it was explicitly mentioned that Michal loved David

“Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when they told Saul about it, it pleased him.”

1 Samuel 18:28 “When Saul realized that the Lord was with David and that his daughter Michal loved him.”

In 1 Samuel 19:11-17 Michal risked her life to save the life of her husband David which further demonstrated her love and devotion to David.

Nowhere Was It Mentioned That David Loved Michal or Reciprocated The Love!

But three times in the same Bible, we are told that David and Jonathan loved each other.

1 Samuel 18:1-3: Jonathan, Saul’s son, formed a covenant with David, and their souls were knit together. Jonathan loved David as himself (1 Samuel 18:3).

1 Samuel 20:17: Jonathan made David promise again, “because he loved him as he loved his own soul.”

2 Samuel 1:26: David’s lament over Saul and Jonathan mentions their strong bond, stating, “Your love to me was more wonderful than the love of women.”

In all these things Michal died childless because in 2 Samuel 6:16, 20-23 she criticized her husband!

Men = LOVE!

Women = HONOR

If your husband is not loving you, report him to GOD his maker! But your hands and heart must be clean first.

2 Corinthians 10:6 says “And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.”

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed

John 20:29, NIV

The Grave Clothes

Upon hearing the news of the empty tomb, Peter and John ran to see for themselves. Peter confronted the evidence, but he was confused. At that instant, he must have been angrier than ever. He must have surmised that the enemies of Jesus who had dared to crucify Him, had now taken the body for who knew what purpose!

John quietly looked around. He noticed that the grave clothes were totally unlike those of Lazarus, which had been just a pile of stinking rags by the time Martha had finished unwrapping him. These grave clothes were lying, not as though someone had removed them from the body, but as though the body were still inside! The face cloth was situated where the face would have been, with the few inches of the neck separating it from the rest of the shroud. As he studied the evidence, it must have gradually dawned on him that the grave clothes looked like an empty cocoon! They looked as though the body had just evaporated up through them! Then John knew! (John 20:8). The body hadn’t evaporated. Jesus had risen from the dead!

Blessings

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Venue: Redemption camp, KM 46, Lagos Ibadan expressway, Nigeria.
You are invited!

God cannot disappoint you, His faithfulness is forever sure. Hope and Faithfulness

Hope links with the future. Moreover, there is a link between hope and God because He is the One who controls tomorrow. Anyone in charge of tomorrow is definitely able to uphold hope.

Revelation 1:8 says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, The Almighty”.

Hope is linked with tomorrow and God is the One who holds tomorrow. Do not let any man deceive you: no man holds tomorrow except God. This is why James warns against boasting about tomorrow while acknowledging that we need God – the one in control of tomorrow – to enter into tomorrow of our dreams (James 4:13-16). Many who bragged about tomorrow never lived to see it.

Another way God is linked with hope is through His faithfulness. Deuteronomy 7:9 says, “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that loves Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations.”

God is extremely faithful. The quality of His faithfulness in keeping promises and agreements is unparalleled. There are some people around us who make simple promises that they can easily fulfil yet, they fail to fulfil them because they lack the discipline in faithfulness.

Putting all your hope in an unfaithful man can lead to great embarrassment and loss when the fellow suddenly disappoints you at a crucial time.

God cannot disappoint you! Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? Or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?”

God doesn’t only keep covenants but He is the greatest covenant keeper as He can fulfil His promise to an individual or a family for up to a thousand generations!

What a wonderful God we serve!

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

AMAZING GRACE.

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound—

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed!

The Lord has promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come;

‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we’d first begun. Amen!

No Reason To Fear Child Of God.

No Reason To Fear Child Of God.

“Then said Jesus unto them again, verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:7, 11

Throughout the Bible, particularly the New Testament, God used things that we can readily identify with to speak to us the deep mystery of the Kingdom. Jesus used the everyday things around to teach very deep truths that every believer ought to know. He knew that if you can just catch a glimpse of what He is saying, you will be more effective ministers of the Gospel.

Look at our text again; do you understand the full import of what Jesus was saying? If you truly understand our text for today, you will have no reason to fear anything in life. Let me break it down a little – The sheepfold is a place where the sheep are kept safe. There is an opening into this place through which the sheep is herded in. The good shepherd then sleeps right across that opening in the night. The implication is whenever danger comes the enemy had to first contend with the shepherd before entering the sheepfold. Now you can understand it better when Jesus says He is the door to the sheepfold and the good shepherd.

This means that the good shepherd guarantees the supply of all my needs and he, who is the door to the sheepfold, also guarantees my protection from any evil. Hallelujah! So I can say without any shadow of fear that nothing shall by any means hurt me. The same is true for you, if only you will believe. Beloved, you have no reason to fear.

Salvation is for all men

That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved (Romans 10:9)

Some people believe salvation is only for certain people; that God already numbered those that’ll be saved, and those reserved for eternal damnation; but that’s not truth. You might then ask, “So what did Jesus mean when He said, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him…” (John 6:44). Doesn’t that mean the Father appoints some people to salvation, and separates some others unto destruction? No! Salvation is for all men. God’s desire is for ALL men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

In John 3:16, the Bible didn’t say, “For God so loved some men…” ; rather it says “For God so loved the world…..” ; the world of men, ALL men, including women, boys and girls. The Father’s love is for the whole world; the world of sinners. So when Jesus said “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him….” (John 6:44), the right question to ask is, “Now does God draw men unto Himself?”

The answer is in the 45^th verse of the same John 6 that says, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me” God draws men to Himself through His Word; through His message as encapsulated in the Gospel. When the Gospel is preached, those who hear, believe it, and endorse it by confessing the Lordship of Jesus Christ over their lives are drawn. So, the choice as to who receive salvation rests with every individual.

In Paul’s letter to Timothy, he said “…..God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4). This is the very reason we herald the message of the Gospel. As you plan your vacation and visitation this Christmas time, have the Gospel in mind. Make it a memorable Christmas for those around you who are yet to receive salvation, letting them know it’s God’s desire for them to receive the best gift of all, this Christmas – Eternal Life!

The Bible says “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14). You’re that preacher to those in your world; to bring them the glorious news of Christ’s salvation.

Prayer

Thank You Dear Heavenly Father for the immense love You clearly demonstrated in sending Jesus to be the propitiation for my sins, thus making me a participator in the divine experience. I’m most grateful for this glorious privilege, in Jesus Christ’s Name! Amen!

THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN

THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN

What a girl to do?

Some people have the mistaken idea that a woman should be
very concerned about her looks, up on the latest fashions, and look out for
herself.

But that’s not what God describes in the Bible. The woman
described in proverbs 31 is an excellent wife and mother. She is able to
balance both career and family. It may surprise you that her appearance is
never ever mentioned! This is because the best kind of attractiveness is an
inward beauty. It comes from a woman’s character.

See this woman as an inspiration to be all you can be!

Who can find a
virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies. Her husband
can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She will not hinder him
but help him all her life.

She finds wool and
flax and busily spins it. She is like a merchant’s ship; she brings her food
from afar. She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and
plan the day’s work for her servant girls. She goes out to inspect a field and
buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.

She is energetic and
strong, a hard worker. She watches for bargains; her light burn late into the
night. Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fibre.

She extends a helping
hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.

She has no fear for
winter for her household because all of them have warm clothes. She quilts her
own bedspreads. She dresses like royalty in gowns of finest cloth.

Her husband is well
known, for he sits in the council meeting with the other civic leaders.

She makes belted linen
garments and sashes to sell to the merchants.

She is clothed with
strength and dignity, and she laughs with no fear of the future. When she
speaks, her words are wise and kindness is the rules when she gives
instructions. She carefully watches all that goes on in her household and does
not have to bear the consequences of laziness.

Her children stand and
bless her. Her husband praises her. “There are many virtuous and capable women
in the world, but you surpass them all.

Charm is deceptive,
and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly
praised. Reward her for all she done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise. Proverbs 31 :10-30

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria
and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

HONESTY

HONESTY

Truthful lips endure
forever, but a lying tongue last only a moment. The Lord detests lying lips,
but He delights in men who are truthful (Proverbs 12:19, 22 NIV)

For more than 30 years, I have stressed that the bottom-line
to real Christianity is having a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus
Christ. I have consistently worked at this. I spent three hours daily with
Jesus Christ in morning devotions; attended prayer meetings and church; taught
the congregation in the church about Jesus Christ; walked two miles, five days
a week; and even become a vegan all in an attempt to connect with Jesus Christ.
But something was missing.

And then it happened. I found the missing link: HONESTY! A personal, intimate
relationship with Christ Jesus isn’t possible unless you are completely honest
with yourself and God. For the first time, I cried out “Honestly” to the Lord,
begging Him to cleanse me of every sin in my life. I thought I was a pretty
good person until the “little skeletons” started falling out of my closet and
then the big ones. My soul was crushed, yet I begged God more and more to show
me what I needed to do to “come clean” in my relationship with Him.

What has this experience done for me? As I have recognized
how my Heavenly Father has blessed me “over and beyond measure” despite my
sinfulness, not holding me in captivity but showering me with so many
undeserved gifts. The question comes to my mind: what will He do now that my
heart is totally surrendered to Him and ready to receive His grace? The thought
just blew my mind!

2^ndly, I now try to see people through the eyes
of Jesus Christ. I see what they are becoming, not as they are now! Gone is the
legalism. The whole world looks different!

My plea is, don’t just lay in church and miss eternal life,
as I almost did. Be honest with yourself and God. As
Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I’m free at last; thank God Almighty, I’m free at
last. And it feels so good.”

Have you been honest with God or are you harbouring some
secret sins in your life? Ask God what it will take to “come clean” with Him,
and see what skeletons fall out of your closet. – By Olujoba

Understanding Marriage: Blessing or Curse?

Posted on September 11, 2025 by Prayer

MARRIAGE

THE GRAND DESIGN!

But I would have you
know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the
man; and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11:3).

Is marriage a blessing or a curse? I’m sure the response
you’d get for this question would be as varied as the number of people you ask.
Even though the opinions of men differ; the Word of God is consistent: “Whose findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
and obtaineth favour of The Lord” (Proverbs 18:22). Why then do some
marriages become our excuse for skipping church services?

I often wonder why some people live as though marriage is a
curse. I found that some people who used to be very committed in their local
church suddenly become spiritually inert as soon as they are married. Should
your marriage be your license for spiritual complacency? No! That’s not the
grand design.

Your marriage shouldn’t create a chasm between you and God
nor should it impair your fellowship with Him. Rather, it should draw you
closer to Him. As a believer, it’s expected that you marry a fellow believer,
who loves The Lord as you do. For this reason, there should be greater impact
in the Kingdom of God (Deuteronomy 32:30) through your union. I Corinthians
11:3 says that the head of every man is Christ. Therefore, the man must be
subject to the Lordship of the Word of God, just as his wife is subject to him.
So, together they will fulfil the God-given vision and ministry for their family.

As the anointing of The Holy Spirit comes upon the man,
it’ll flow down to his wife and the children, until it begins to influence
their environment and a whole new generation is imparted with the power of God.
This is the grand design.

The Lord testified of Abraham in Genesis 18:19; “For I know him (Abraham), that he will
command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way
of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham
that which he hath spoken of him.”
Can the Lord trust you in the same way?
It’s time for a self-appraisal and to make necessary changes in your
marriage and family, so the Lord may bring upon you that which He has spoken.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You for granting me light and understanding of Your plans for my
marriage. I submit to the authority of Your Word, so Your anointing may come
upon every member of my household, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!
