The Founder and Leader of the Prophetic Hill Church, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, has defended the significance of 31st December prophecies, insisting that they are not man-made but divinely inspired messages from God.
Addressing the public debate about the yearly prophetic messages which frequently draws criticism for predicting tragedy and bad luck, Prophet Nigel Gaisie said “on 31st night prophecies, for those who would speak, they spoke the mind of God.”
“God speaks to us daily, even right now, God speaks to us. We are not the manufacturers of prophecies,” he said in an interview on Ghana Weekend, Thursday, May 22.
Prophet Gaisie emphasized that the recipient’s interpretation of prophetic messages is often subjective.
“To you, what you may call negative, to another may not be negative. It relatively depends on who again is receiving it,” he explained.
Nigel Gaisie explained why prophecies on December 31st frequently garner public attention.
He clarified that although prophesies are given on a daily basis, they become more prominent and contentious during Watch Night services due to the increased media attention.
“31st is when the major cameras come into the churches. We prophesy every day, but it’s just that on 31st night, the cameras come into the various churches and they balloon or blow it up that is why,” he noted.
