Here is a Prophecy for the Year 2023 by John Chi Ministries ( Johnchi Ministries ). This is not a ministry I follow, but this video was shared with me recently, and after watching I figured I’d share. This prophet/pastor/apostle has 229 thousand subscribers on youtube, so he does appear to be well known. It seems this person might be in Africa (The facebook page says – Bokwango, Cameroon). I mention this because, when we typically watch American prophets, we assume the prophecy is for America. So some of this person’s prophecy could be intended for Africa as opposed to America or the entire World. And lastly, as the Bible says, test the spirits, to see whether they are from God… See below for the video link and partial transcript:

NotebookLM AI Summary:
The provided excerpts summarize the prophetic message delivered by Apostle John Chi for the year 2023, based on revelations he received from God. These annual messages are intended to guide and keep people alert to changes, preparing them spiritually, physically, and mentally.
Prophetic Foundation and Context
Prophecy, according to the sources, does not come by the will of man, but holy men of God speak as they are moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). God’s word is pure and sure, and prophecy reveals the deep things of the spirit. Messages given in 2022 were seen to come to pass, and some were averted through prayer. The 2023 prophetic messages were read out as God instructed Apostle John Chi on Sunday, January 8, 2023.
Global Economic and Political Instability
Apostle Chi revealed several global concerns for 2023, stating that “this year is not smiling at all”:
- Financial Instability and Scarcity: There will be financial instability all over the world. People should learn how to manage what they have and avoid waste. An economic crisis was previously predicted, and the dropping value of currency has been observed. There will be food scarcity, making it difficult to find things to buy. A crisis more horrible than war is anticipated, involving the lack of food, money, water, and other necessities of life. Import and Export will face problems.
- Protests and Inflation: Protests will erupt in many countries due to inflation and the high cost of living. Prices will rise, and many people will not be able to afford necessities, leading to protests.
- Investigation and Exposure: The year 2023 is designated as the “year of Investigation”. Many leaders and those in high positions will be exposed. Many things done in secret will be brought into the open.
- Threat of Mass Destruction: The Apostle saw something very fearful that will cause panic worldwide, describing it as an evil plan of mass destruction. He specifically identified this mass destruction plan as a nuclear weapon. Prayer is requested that the war between Russia and Ukraine should not go out of control. Only God can stop this evil plan.
Regional Warnings and Specific Prayers
Prophecies also targeted specific regions and areas requiring prayer:
- Asia: In Asia, a deadly disaster, possibly a tsunami, was seen coming from the sea that would destroy lives and property. The people of Japan are urged to be alert and pray for God to avert this. The people of the Philippines should pray against a flood that would destroy lives and properties.
- Nigeria: The 2023 presidential election in Nigeria will be very tough. Prayer is needed against a terrible attack that will lead to the bloodshed of innocent victims. The fairness of the Electoral Commission is questioned, and there is a possibility of a rerunning of the election because the Apostle saw two different media outlets announcing two different winners. Prayer is required for a new Nigeria.
- Cameroon: The Ministry of Transport in Cameroon should look into the area of transportation (land or air).
- African Leaders: Prayer is needed for an African head of state who is a top Christian and is seriously sick and “about to travel,” with uncertainty about his return. Additionally, one of the well-known fathers of faith has finished his race well and is on his way (implying death).
- Israel: Prayer is requested for the nation of Israel.
Warnings to the Church and Youth
The revelations included warnings for religious institutions and younger generations:
- The Church: The Church of God must pray for God to separate the “chaffs from the wits” (wheat). Workers of iniquity have entered the Church of God, masquerading as agents of light, and God will begin to expose them this year.
- Youth: Youths must be careful of negative influence. While money, power, and fame are good, the love of them is evil. Parents are advised to warn their children about being overly ambitious, anxious, and desperate.
Finally, the Apostle mentioned that an unspecified attack is “boiling,” and although something currently stops it from exploding, the time of its explosion is known only to God. Overall, the message emphasizes remaining in prayer and asking God for mercy and favor.
