He wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, January 20:

"The Lord said: 'You will never hear any scandal about them.'

"Instead, scandals will only be heard about the genuine men of God who are striving toward perfection.

"The Lord warned: Be careful not to accuse the genuine who make mistakes, while bowing to those who serve the devil. These occultic men will empower women to call out names of genuine pastors this year, aiming to destroy their credibility.

"Their mindset is to discourage people from serving God and to destroy genuineness in the church."

He continued:

"The Lord said: 'Repentance is not automatic—it is a process. Teach salvation as a process.' Many expect pastors to be perfect, but when they make mistakes, they are judged harshly.

"Meanwhile, the occultic (sic) group remains untouched by scandal because they are backed by the devil."

Highlighting signs to watch, Prophet Boma stated that, among others, "a certain group will rise, presenting themselves as holier than others."

Boma speaks on US-Nigeria tensions

Meanwhile, Prophet Boma prophesied that "God does not want" the United States (US) President Donald Trump to invade Nigeria.

Tensions have recently risen between Nigeria and the US, largely due to allegations of persecution of Christians in the African country.

Reacting to the response in some quarters, Boma strongly condemned war-mongering, urging an end to the spread of militaristic ideologies and warning that such actions could worsen Nigeria’s ongoing conflict challenges.

His words:

"Stop escalating nations into war. The military, Boko Haram, call them any name, they are already finished. They are running into countries. Every other nation is closing its borders.
