In the case of the founder and senior pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Abuja, Bro Joshua Iginla, 13 of his prophecies for 2017 were including both Nigeria and the political developments in other countries of the world were fulfilled. Here are the 13 predictions as released by the church:

Bro Joshua Iginla, during his church services on May 14, and July 2, 2017 had foretold the recent leadership crisis in Zimbabwe.

I don’t want to say South, North, East or West Africa but one of the African countries should pray against military intervention so that their democracy will not be truncated.”
This prophecy came to pass on November 14, 2017, when Zimbabwe’s military leaders seized control of the impoverished Southern African nation, placing longtime leader, Robert Mugabe under house arrest and deploying armoured vehicles to the streets of the capital, Harare. The events led to Robert Mugabe’s resignation as the president of Zimbabwe, ending his 37-year reign.

Three were taken out of the four legs of the seat and I saw this leader still sitting and didn’t fall. I don’t know how he managed to remain seated.” This prophecy was fulfilled on Thursday, October 26, 2017.

Let your persecutors persecute you and say whatever they want to say but make sure you give your health attention. It’s only the living that rules. The throne is yours and nobody can occupy it.
