| 520 | |a Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Nigeria, claims to derive its doctrines from the Bible. One of such is that prophets are among its administrators. Including prophets among its administrators, however, can be problematic. This is more so as the prophets lay claim to higher authority than pastors and superintendents. None of the literature available to this researcher addresses the problem of domesticating prophets in the CAC, and this gap the research has attempted to fill. The objectives of this work were to review the theology and practice of prophets in CAC, re-examine the work of prophets in the Bible, and compare the work of prophets in CAC with that of Bible prophets. Sources of data included books, discussions, journal articles, and the Internet. Data collected were analysed using comparative framework. The research found that the CAC prophets wielded great influence, and they were difficult to manage. It further found that in the Bible, prophets depended on God for their messages, were normally fearless in delivering their messages, as they condemned godlessness, and showed that converting non-Christians to Christianity is the main goal of the prophetic ministry. Comparatively, it was found that both similarities and differences apply between the ministries of prophets in the Bible and CAC. | ||
