Paul talks about the three greatest virtues: Faith, Hope, and Love. Love is the greatest among the three.
If, in the same vein, prophecy, polls, and prediction were lined up, which would be the most reliable, the most confusing, and the most troublesome? Well, prophecies and polls can be predictive, but a prediction may not necessarily be a prophecy or a poll.
Prediction can also disguise itself as prophecy. Could it be that many of the prophecies today are predictions? Could that be the reason they are all going in different directions? How can one person (God) say different things about the same situation?
Truthfully, some of the prophecies are too easy. Even a lotto forecaster could get it right. Considering the fact that the race is mainly between two people, at least from my personal observation, prophesying about which of the two will win is as simple as predicting whether a pregnant woman will deliver a boy or a girl.
Already, you are 50% accurate. Prophesying about who will be last is equally important. Why are we all focusing our prophecies on only the winner? Are we expecting anything from the winner after?
If so, can we move to a higher level and give details of the percentage win and regional contributions? What makes prophecy attractive is its improbability, so to speak.
Crucifixion was introduced by the Romans. At the time Jesus’ death was prophesied in Psalms and Isaiah, the Romans were not in power.
So, the details didn’t make sense. They spoke about a sword piercing His side, none of His bones being broken, and many other details. These details were specifically related to crucifixion.
Kwame Bediako, Allan Kyerematen, Osofo Kyiriabosom, and all others deserve prophecy. They add to the competition, and I’m sure God is interested in them, too. Who knows if one of them will surface and surprise us?
Prophecies must wear the coat of mystery. They should be mind-blowing and jaw-dropping. Let’s go deeper.
Pollsters have always tried to predict political situations through research. They predict with margins of error. That is humility. It indicates that to err is human. Others, however, are extremely sure.
Some have built a certain level of confidence by virtue of their success over the years. Aren’t you amazed by how the current American elections confronted pollsters?
Some had predicted a neck-and-neck situation, and one pollster who had been successful in the past eleven elections had his prediction in favor of Kamala fail miserably.
Trump did not only win; he won massively. Men must make room for God. Peter said to Jesus, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing. Nevertheless, at Your word, I will let down the net.”
Peter was a professional fisherman. He was well aware that the night was a better time for a catch than the day. Nevertheless…
We always find ourselves in situations when our own wisdom is not enough. Many have built their tomorrows on their wisdom, only to realize that they had it all wrong.
We pray that the results of our coming elections will not throw us into confusion because of some polls.
Of course, we trust that all the powers that be will do what is necessary and right for the results to be accepted by all.
