Clerics making New Year prophecies which are unfulfilled have been described by the general superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, as mere false prophets.

He spoke on the topic, Pure Faith, Precious Hope and Pre-eminent Love.

Kumuyi said: “What was written in Genesis, was written for our learning. What was written in Exodus, ‘When I see the blood, I will pass over you;’ it was written for our learning. What was written in Leviticus, ‘It is the blood that makes atonement for the soul;’ it was written for our learning. What was written in Numbers, ‘your sin will find you out;’ it was written for our learning.

"It is written in Deuteronomy, ‘If a prophet arises and he speaks a word and that word does not come to pass, note that man, he’s a false prophet.”

The preacher admonished his congregants to reject anything that can jeopardise their chance of making heaven.

The five-day retreat, with the theme, ‘Hope: Feasting after the famine,’ was attended by members of Deeper Life all over the world.

Giving illustrations from his own life, he told members not give up their faith for mundane things. According to him, he faced trials and persecution from family members, classmates, former church, principal, including a lecturer at the University of Lagos whom he called to order in class.

In an earlier report by Legit.ng, Kumuyi had shown appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari for his tireless efforts toward transforming the country.

Kumuyi said: ”Please remain focused and courageous and do what is right. Not everyone will support you publicly, but we are praying for you so that your tenure will be one of progress and prosperity for the country.’’

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
