FALSE PROPHETS ARE A HINDRANCE TO THE RULE OF LAW AND DEMOCRACY 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

  False prophets can erode the rule of law essential for democracy to thrive. Democracy is built on justice, truth, and accountability, yet false prophets manipulate truth for personal gain, leading to societal decay. In the Bible, Jesus warns of false prophets who come in sheep’s clothing but are inwardly ravenous wolves (Matthew 7:15). These individuals undermine integrity and trust, which are foundational for a fair and just society.

  A former governor of the central bank of Nigeria and Emir of Kano spoke of their frustration in bringing a senior bank official guilty of stealing over a hundred billion naira of depositor's funds to book because of the interference of an influential clergyman . The existence of such preachers is the main reason behind the increase in corruption and failure of democracy in Nigeria, the bible says  Ecclesiastes 8:11

 "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully

 set in them to do evil." 

  The bible says prophesy God's judgement against such corrupt preachers  (Ezekiel 13) 

   The  bible speaks of murderers roaming free because of ecclesiastical influence ( Ezekiel 13:19, 22)

   In a democratic society, laws exist to protect rights and maintain order, but when people in positions of power, or those who claim divine authority, distort the truth, it weakens these structures. Proverbs 29:12 states, “If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.” This shows how deception from false leaders can trickle down, creating a corrupt system that destroys justice.

Furthermore, Isaiah 5:20 warns, "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil." False prophets lead people astray by twisting morality, fostering division, and creating instability, which weakens the democratic process. For democracy to succeed, leaders must uphold truth and justice, ensuring laws are administered fairly. False prophets jeopardize this balance, threatening the very foundation of freedom and equality in society.

   In our daily prayers , seek for the deliverance of your nation from the strongholds of false prophets and prophetesses and for a healthy appetite for God's word.

PRAYER : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation army and him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome fear.
