Then Samuel took a VIAL of OIL, and POURED it on his head, and kissed him and said. Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over His inheritance?.......

After that, thou shall come to the HILL OF GOD, where is the garrison of the Philistines…..and it shall come to pass, when thou art come into the city, you shall meet a company of prophets “COUNCIL OF PROPHETS”……..They shall prophesy….

And the SPIRIT OF THE LORD will come upon thee, and YOU shall prophesy with them, and SHALL BE TURNED INTO ANOTHER MAN.
I Samuel 10: 1, 5 and 6.

Prophet Praise McBassey enjoys the free flow of the five fold ministry gifts. But his Major calling and Office is that of A PROPHET and APOSTOLIC.

Ephesians 4:7 but unto every one of us is given GRACE according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

In verse 11: And He gave some Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Evangelist, and some, Pastors and Teachers.

He has worked in the office of a Pastor, and Evangelistic in the past, Serving under different Churches, while also helping in planting Churches and fellowship centers in different cities, especially in Nigeria.

With all he has experienced in the ministry that has lasted for over 12 years of active pulpit ministry, the Lord laid a strong burden in his heart to start an Apostolic Movement known as the COUNCIL OF PROPHETS [COP].

Council Of Prophets [COP] is a ministry Wing of Praise McBassey ministries, set aside to minister to those who are called into the office of Prophet.

There’s a lot of misconception about the Prophetic ministry and their vessels. Either some who are called into that office are not fully trained, prepared for the assignment, while some are physically/mentally abused, rejected and discarded due to the numerous stories spreading around the corners of Churches regarding the prophetic ministry.

I’ve seen young up coming Prophets neglecting their gifts for fear of not been branded with those who comes into that office with wrong motives. Yea, I understand without any iota of doubt, they are some fake prophets perambulating the corridors of Churches with deceptive grandeur. Declaring false prophecies in the name of the Lord. Didn’t the Bible itself warn against false prophets showing up in the last days? Yes it did. But, I got a problem where Church folks should single out the Prophetic vessels for special criticism and scrutiny. The truth is…these falsehood manifest itself in every facet of ministry offices. The search light should be beam on every Church workers, and not just those who are called into the Prophetic Ministry. A lot of young up coming great prophets have been frustrated out of the ministry because their Pastors, or someone out there were afraid of their divine abilities and gifts.

It is on this Premise the Lord laid a strong conviction in my heart to start a movement known as the COUNCIL OF PROPHETS where folks who are called into the prophetic office are properly trained, equipped and prepared for the assignment.

When Saul walked into the Council Of Prophets, the Spirit of the Lord rub the grace of that office upon him, and he began to prophesy just like the Prophets.

The Council Of Prophets shall be a forum where Young prophets are taught the rudiments of Prophecy. They shall be taught the difference between the Office of a Prophet, the ministry of a Prophet, and the gift of Prophecy. A lot of people mistake the gift of prophecy with the Office of a Prophet. Anyone who is call by God into any ministry office can function in the gift of prophecy. They can prophesy as occasion demands……

I Samuel 10:7….and let it be, when these signs are come unto you, that you shall do as occasion demands. But the office of a Prophet is for those who are called mainly as Prophets or Seers. They hear from God, and declare His Holy counsel unto Churches, Nations, families, individuals as the Lord gives them utterance.

Amos 3:7 : surely the Lord God will do nothing, but reveal His Secret unto His servants the Prophets.

Modus Operandi

We shall organize school of ministry, workshops, seminars, and prophetic conferences where we shall meticulously teach, coach, and mentor those who are called into the PROPHETIC OFFICE.

COP, will also serve as a unit for pastoral and ministers conferences, where ministers and ministry workers will be trained, update, and inform about the WILL OF GOD concerning their lives, and ministries.

Watch Out ! For our forth coming Conference tag.. WHERE ARE THE PROPHETS?
