God Still Speaks Today
One of the greatest misunderstandings in Christianity today is the idea that prophecy has ceased. Many people assume that after the days of the Old Testament prophets and the apostles, God stopped speaking prophetically. However, the Bible is clear that God still reveals His will and future events to His servants, including prophets as described in Ephesians 4:11–12:
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ (King James Version).
Amos 3:7 says, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” God still speaks, and He still raises prophets in every generation. The prophetic ministry is not just about foretelling the future; it also provides direction, correction, and encouragement for individuals, churches, and even nations.
Throughout history, God has used prophetic voices to guide His people. In the modern era, Africa has seen a great rise in prophetic ministries, with many men of God operating in the gift of prophecy. One of the most remarkable figures in this move of God is Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, whose ministry has carried powerful prophetic words that have come to pass.
His conferences, books, and messages contain prophetic declarations that have shaped churches and ministries around the world. In this article, we will examine the prophetic impact of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills and his supernatural accuracy in declaring church growth, evangelism, and expansion. We will also highlight five other major prophetic voices in Africa, including Emmanuel Makandiwa, Uebert Angel, T.B. Joshua, Shepherd Bushiri, and one additional prophet.
Dag Heward-Mills: A Prophetic Voice for Church Growth and Expansion
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is known for his deep passion for soul-winning, church planting, and leadership development. His ministry, the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC), has grown into thousands of churches across different nations.
Beyond being an evangelist and teacher, Bishop Dag is a prophetic voice whose words have shaped the future of churches and ministries. Many of his messages carry prophetic declarations that have led to supernatural church growth, the rise of missionaries, and the expansion of God’s Kingdom across nations.
Prophetic Words That Have Been Fulfilled
Years ago, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills prophesied that his ministry would spread across continents, with missionaries traveling to distant lands. At the time, this seemed almost impossible, but today, it has been fulfilled with churches established in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Americas.
He also prophesied that large and beautiful church buildings would be built for congregations that were once small and struggling. Today, his ministry has built magnificent cathedrals and church buildings, including the Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Center in Ghana, which serves as a prophetic fulfillment of this declaration.
Another major prophecy from his ministry was that many young people would rise as anointed ministers of the gospel. Today, thousands of young pastors and evangelists have been trained under his leadership, going into different nations to fulfill the Great Commission.
Prophetic Conferences That Have Led to Church Growth
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills’ conferences are not just events—they are prophetic gatherings where destinies are shaped and church expansion is declared. These conferences have not only imparted wisdom and training but have also carried prophetic declarations that have shaped the future of churches. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills’ conferences are not just teaching platforms; they are prophetic gatherings where divine impartations and declarations shape the future of churches and ministries.
1. The “Give Thyself Wholly” Conference
This is one of the largest pastors’ and ministry training conferences in Africa. Bishop Dag prophesied that this conference would raise up a new generation of pastors, and indeed, thousands of ministers who have attended testify that their ministries have been transformed.
Many who once had small congregations now oversee growing churches, proving that prophetic words declared at this conference carry divine power.
2. The “Iron Sharpeneth Iron” Conference
This leadership training conference carries a prophetic impartation that helps pastors move into greater anointing and wisdom. Some pastors who were struggling in their ministries have testified that after attending this conference, their churches began to experience revival and expansion.
3. The Healing Jesus Campaign
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has also been a prophetic voice through the Healing Jesus Campaign, a massive evangelistic movement. His prophetic declarations over cities and nations have led to miracles, healings, and the growth of churches in regions where the gospel was previously resisted.
For example, in certain areas where churches were struggling to grow, after Bishop Dag’s evangelistic crusade, those churches experienced a sudden increase in attendance and influence, confirming the prophetic grace upon his life.
Other Major Prophetic Voices in Africa
In addition to Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, God has raised several other powerful prophetic voices in Africa. These men have been used by God to prophesy accurately over individuals, churches, and even governments.
1. Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa (Zimbabwe)
Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa, founder of United Family International Church (UFIC), is widely known for his prophetic accuracy and supernatural encounters. He has prophesied major political and economic events in Zimbabwe, many of which have come to pass.
Makandiwa is also known for predicting financial downturns and advising believers on economic preparation. He once prophesied about an economic collapse in Zimbabwe and urged Christians to store up resources and prepare wisely. Many who followed his prophetic instruction testified that they survived the crisis without financial ruin.
Beyond national prophecies, Makandiwa’s personal prophecies have also been life-changing. Many individuals have received precise words about their future, careers, and destinies, which later manifested exactly as prophesied. His ability to reveal hidden things through prophecy has caused many skeptics to acknowledge the power of God in his ministry.
2. Prophet Uebert Angel (Zimbabwe/UK)
Prophet Uebert Angel, the founder of Spirit Embassy, is known for detailed and specific prophetic words. He is often referred to as a “prophet to kings” because of his influence over world leaders.
His prophetic ministry is heavily centered on economics, global shifts, and kingdom prosperity. He has prophesied major financial shifts, stock market crashes, and even political changes before they happened. His prophetic insight into wealth creation and business growth has led many believers to experience supernatural financial success.
Beyond wealth and politics, Uebert Angel also prophesies about personal destinies. Many who have received prophetic words from him testify that he has given exact names, dates, and details that no one else could have known, proving that God is still speaking through His prophets today.
3. Prophet T.B. Joshua (Nigeria)
The late Prophet T.B. Joshua of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN) was one of Africa’s most famous prophetic figures. His ministry was marked by prophetic warnings, healings, and mass deliverance.
T.B. Joshua prophesied global events, including natural disasters, plane crashes, and political upheavals. One of his most famous prophecies was about the Malaysian Airlines MH370 disappearance, which he foretold before it happened.
His prophecies often carried a call for repentance and national prayer, urging believers to seek God’s intervention in critical moments. His ministry also saw thousands of miraculous healings, where people with terminal illnesses were instantly restored.
4. Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (Malawi)
Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, founder of the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG), has built a prophetic ministry that has transformed lives globally.
Bushiri is well-known for prophetic declarations in the areas of business, success, and leadership. Many business professionals and entrepreneurs have testified that after receiving a word of prophecy from Bushiri, they experienced breakthroughs in their businesses, promotions at work, and supernatural financial success.
One of his notable prophecies was about political unrest in South Africa, which came to pass exactly as he described. He also prophesied about the global economic crisis, urging believers to prepare and position themselves for financial stability.
5. Prophet Alph Lukau (South Africa)
Prophet Alph Lukau, leader of Alleluia Ministries International, is known for his prophetic insight and powerful healing ministry. His prophetic accuracy is widely recognized, with many testimonies of individuals receiving personalized, detailed prophecies.
Lukau’s prophetic gift extends into healing and deliverance, with many experiencing miracles after receiving a word from him. His church has drawn people from all over the world who seek prophetic direction and divine encounters.
Conclusion: A Call to Recognize the Prophetic Move of God
God is still speaking. He is still calling His servants to prophesy and declare His will to His people. The prophetic ministry is not something of the past—it is a present reality that we must embrace.
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has demonstrated this reality through his prophetic conferences, books, and teachings, which have shaped the future of churches worldwide. Alongside him, other prophetic voices like Emmanuel Makandiwa, Uebert Angel, T.B. Joshua, Shepherd Bushiri, and Alph Lukau remind us that God is still revealing His will through His prophets.
May we have ears to hear and hearts to receive what God is saying through His prophetic servants in this generation!
