Prophet Bernard El-Bernard Nelson-Eshun
The General Overseer of Spirit Life Revival Ministries, Prophet Bernard El-Bernard Nelson-Eshun, has opened up on the true essence of the prophetic ministry, emphasising that it is not meant for personal gain.
Prophet El-Bernard, who has analysed how the prophetic ministry has increasingly taken the shape of clout-chasing on social media, monetary gain, and selectively choosing what to say, took to Instagram on April 3, 2025, to share a message about the true meaning of having that calling.
“If prophesying were about accumulating wealth, I’d be a millionaire by now. If it were about securing investments, my portfolio would be overflowing. If it were about owning properties, I’d have a multitude of houses. And if it were about going viral on social media, becoming relevant, and gaining popularity, I’d be an online sensation.
“If prophesying is about choosing what to prophesy then I would prophesy over my life to be the wealthiest man on earth. But that’s not what prophesying is about,” he wrote.
He further stated that prophesies should reveal the truth, intentions, and mind of God and not for social media trends.
“True prophesying is about revealing Jesus Christ, uncovering the heart, intent, and mind of God. It’s about accessing the spirit realm and declaring what we see. Prophesying is initiated by the Holy Spirit’s power, not human choice.
“Prophesying unveils profound insights into earthly events. We don’t prophesy to trend on social media, become famous, or seek relevance. We prophesy to reveal the heart of God,” he added.
