Abstract
This article is a critical engagement on the practice of Pentecostal prophecy in Southern
Africa. Pentecostal prophecy is widely practiced in Southern Africa and other parts of
the African continent, especially West Africa, in countries like Ghana and Nigeria.
The phenomenon is related to divination in African Traditional Religions. The practices
of Pentecostal prophecy in Southern Africa include forensic prophecy, prophetic titles,
prophetic objects, prophetic consultation and prophetic miracles. This article critically
engages these practices and reimagines the practice of Pentecostal prophecy in Southern
Africa. The article suggests a prophecy of salvation, prophecy of love, prophecy of
humility and approved prophecy as a remedy for bizarre practices of Pentecostal prophecy in Southern Africa.
