The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has delivered his highly anticipated prophecies for the year 2026, foretelling economic recovery and a shift in migration trends.
During the church’s annual cross-over service at Redemption City on New Year’s Eve, the cleric offered a message of hope for Nigeria and cautious optimism for the international community.
Addressing the national outlook, Adeboye shared the first part of a two-part prophecy, noting he would pray further about the second part before potentially releasing it later in the week.
“This year, there will be a reduction in hunger. He says small and medium enterprises will begin to blossom,” Adeboye declared.
In a prediction circulating online, he forecasted a “reverse japa” phenomenon, often referred to as “Japada,” where Nigerians who migrated abroad will begin returning home.
“He says something that I can only put down as reverse japa. And many who japa will come back home,” the cleric said.
On the international front, the prophecies offered a mix of relief and environmental warnings.
Adeboye noted that the likelihood of a major global conflict is lower in 2026 than in the previous year.
“On the international scene, he says the chance of a major war is less this year than last year.
“As far as the weather is concerned, He says the pattern will be similar to 2025 except there is the chance of a couple of major hurricanes,” he said.
On a general note, the G.O. promised a year of breakthroughs and unprecedented individual success.
“Daddy says 2026 will be more remarkable than 2025. He says that the wind that has been blowing since 2024 will continue to blow more strongly than before.
“He says there will be more opportunities this year than last year, more breakthroughs, more successes, more victories and less failures.”
“He says a lot of testimonies this year will begin with God remembered me at last,” Adeboye concluded.
The service, which ended in the early hours of January 1, has already sparked widespread discussion across social media, particularly regarding the “reverse japa” prediction, as Nigerians look toward the new year with a mixture of hope and curiosity.
Commenting on X (formerly Twitter), #Akinbola25 wrote, “Many who japa and are blossoming in a foreign land should come back and start struggling here again?”
“Make all Japa geng return ooo.. This tax na all of us go gather contribute ooo. No more hunger. Somebody shout hallelujah,” #Afolabiolamide8 wrote.
Others highlighted the need for governance to align with the spiritual outlook.
#ali_of_asworld commented, “Reduction in hunger, a reversal of japa… Nigeria is waking up in 2026. Let’s see if the government matches the prophecy or if this will just stay in the pulpit. Time to put words into action, not just faith.”
“A powerful prophecy, but it raises a real question: what policies, jobs, and systems must align for hunger to drop and japa truly reverse in 2026? Faith meets action here,” Julius Edicha tweeting as #buildwithjulius similarly noted.
