Controversial preacher Pastor Ezekiel Odero of the New Life Prayer Centre and Church claims he received a divine prophecy that he will die in February 2026. He revealed this during a high-stakes service at his Kilifi headquarters, substantiating the claim by having his wife confirm the revelation to the congregation.

• Pastor Ezekiel stated that this prophecy was initially revealed to him in January and shared privately with his wife.
• He drew parallels to the biblical story of King Hezekiah and linked the prophecy to a spiritual test foreshadowed after his massive Nairobi crusade in Kitengela.
• The preacher is awaiting a unique opportunity to present God with an "extraordinary sacrifice" in response to this divine message.
