LEADING FROM THE FUTURE: THE FIRST BORN OF MASTER PROPHET, NAOMI JORDAN COOK SHARES PROPHECIES SHE’S RECEIVED THAT CAME TO LIFE

A business owner, author, mother, wife, minister, prophetess, and the eldest of Archbishop E. Bernard Jordan and Pastor Debra Jordan’s children, Minister Naomi Jordan Cook, is one of the top women behind the Zoe Ministries team. She has seen the evolution of Zoe Ministries and how her father, Archbishop Jordan, has been leading from the future. I was fortunate to talk to Naomi about celebrating 60 years of Archbishop Jordan, her being next in line, and the prophecies fulfilled that she never imagined would happen.

Sis Jessica Chalmers (SJC): We are celebrating your father, Archbishop’s 60th Birthday. How does that feel for you as his daughter and pretty much his right-hand person? Minister Naomi Jordan Cook

(Min. NJC): It feels awesome. I don't view myself as being his right hand, but it's good to see him turning sixty. He's alive and well and God has granted him 60 years and granting him more years.

SJC: Awesome. The focus of this magazine is “Leading From the Future.” How has your father been leading you in your future?

Min. NJC: Well, basically, he has been very instrumental in keeping me in the technological areas of marketing, digital marketing, and e-commerce. He’s taught me how to transact globally.

SJC: I was able to ask church members about some of the prophecies that they've received from Archbishop. However, does he prophesy to you, or is it more in a fatherly way such as you're my daughter and I want you to do this? How does that work in your world compared to others?

Min. NJC: He has given me prophetic words, and they have come to pass. Some of them are detailed, and some of them are not because he knows who I am. We know each other, so it’s a little different, but he has prophesied to me and my family and has given us prophetic words.

SJC: What is one prophetic word he gave you that was so significant that you were like, wow, this came to pass?

Min. NJC: Travel. He told me a few years back that traveling was big for me and that I would do very well traveling around the world. I didn't see it at the time but now, I’m on the plane at least once a month going somewhere.

SJC: Give me a time frame of when you received these prophecies and when they came to pass? Min.

NJC: With the travel, he prophesied that to me maybe about five years ago. He also prophesied to me that I would meet someone, very instrumental, with the letter “W” that’s going to help my business. I couldn't see it. He told me to write the letter "W" in the back of a journal. Ten years later when I moved, I found that journal that I wrote the letter "W" and I showed my husband. He immediately remembered that prophetic word when I started my business when we were in California. He prophesied to me and told me that it was time to start a business and that it was time to move into other areas such as different types of organizations–corporate organizations. So those prophetic words had come to pass. What I've noticed with the prophetic word is that the season that you may be in, you just don't see it, and when you start to take action in those areas, then it starts to come alive. Note: Minister Naomi is the co-founder of a marketing and business consultant company called "The VGC Group" which is also co-founded by W.E. DaCruz.

SJC: Were there any words that came to pass where it was the next day?

Min. NJC: Yes, when he gave me a prosperity date back in March. He gave me a certain date to circle on my calendar, and I did. I ended up getting all these gifts in March. March was very favorable for me. A lot of things started to break open in that particular month, especially on that specific day. If I remember correctly, the date he told me to circle on my calendar was March 25th. At the last minute, I was invited somewhere, and I got all these gifts from Saks fifth avenue. I was completely blown away. I didn’t know it at the time, but when it happened, I was like wow, I see it now.

SJC: With you being his eldest daughter, you were able to see a lot of things that your parents had gone through. So, from your perspective, what is something that you can say was a significant change that you've seen in Archbishop?

Min. NJC: Well, I haven't seen much of a significant change. He's always been about community and church. That has always been his passion, and he still desires to give to the people. One thing I will say is, I’ve seen a heightened-ness of legacy building within the community and giving back to it.

SJC: What does that mean to you, especially being his eldest daughter and next in line to continue the legacy?

Min. NJC: I can say that his legacy is becoming more of who I am. I also have a desire to give. I find wherever I am in my travels, the number one thing I look for are children’s orphanages and give the best way I can. Those are things I witnessed growing and I am learning how to put systems in place so that it can sustain itself.

SJC: That’s amazing. Is there anything else that you want to say or mention or touch on in regards to celebrating Archbishop 60th Birthday?

Min. NJC: I'd like to say happy birthday, long life, prosperity and more success for him!

SJC: Awesome. Oh, one more question, with this being his 60th birthday and him saying this is his midlife crisis, have you seen your father do anything crazy? Like Dad, relax you are just sixty you don't have to get a motorcycle.

Min. NJC: (laughs) No, I haven't seen any of that. He's always been the type that has been young at heart, but maybe him wearing crazy robin jeans. I would say that's about it; his clothing. But other than that, I mean, you've got to have fun in life.
