Zambia: A Zambian self-proclaimed prophet, Ian Genesis has sensationally claimed that God changed his mind after his election ‘prophecy’ fell flat. Before the August 12 elections, Prophet Genesis boisterously claimed that God had told him that President Edgar Chagwa Lungu would be re-elected.
The founder of the Charisma Ministries International claimed that God had not permitted a change of government in Zambia.
In one such ‘prophecy,’ the charismatic prophet said; “By the Grace of God and by the ministration of the holy spirit, in prayer and in supplication, the Lord has asked me to tell the nation of Zambia, that God in Heaven has not permitted a change of government in the August 2021 election. And the president that will rule this country in the next five years will come from the Patriotic Front. This is the word of the Lord, and it shall come to pass”.
“My name is Prophet Ian Genesis and I approve this message in Jesus’ mighty name. Shalom. Edgar Chagwa Lungu shall be the president of Zambia in the next coming elections. God bless you. Shalom,” added.
However, Prophet Genesis’ so-called prophecy fell flat as the incumbent Edgar Chagwa Lungu was walloped in the election by his rival, opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema.
Hichilema was declared the president after he stormed to a landslide victory over Lungu. The president-elect garnered more than 2.8 million to soundly unseat Edgar Lungu, who garnered 1.8 million votes, beating the incumbent with over one million votes difference. Hichilema of the United Party for National Development (UPND) was declared winner with one constituency still outstanding.
Following this stunning reversal, the Zambian prophet initially deactivated his account claiming that he needed some time off social media to seek God.
“To all my faithful followers and disciples- am taking two days off social media to seek God over a lot of things. I need personal answers! Most of you get inspiration from this platform every day nevertheless I must meet God.
Through visions, God has revealed to me a lot that will happen in the next coming days. Zambians remain prayerful so that as things unfold in the next couple of days. You are in a mood of prayer, it is well with you. I love you all, including those that will mock this post and insult me,” he wrote after realizing the citizens had started gathering strength to pounce on his him!
