Fair point. But I think it's better to cultivate some ability to figure out certain things in the here and now since that will impact the decisions that shape your life and determine your happiness and that of those close to you.

Life is funny. People detested this guy so much. He has suddenly become a star upon his death cry
That is life for you. It reminds me of a quote by a wiseman when people are working hard to pull him down. He said:

Hate me today, but tomorrow will vindicate me.


Whether he is fake or not was never my concern but, all I know is that he touched lifes of people through his charity works. Foodstuffs, payment of fees, assistance to the needy etc

Omihanifa:
Nigeria's influential pastor TB Joshua, who has died aged 57, was considered a pariah among the country's mega-televangelists and struggled until his death to be accepted within their circles, despite amassing millions of followers across Africa.

Ostracised by both the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) he was described as an "impostor" who belonged to a group of "occults" that had infiltrated Christianity.

But Mr Joshua was no different from the other televangelists who have held many Nigerians in their grip with their "prosperity messages" since the early 1990s.

Most of them are more dramatic and perform the same "miracles", but Mr Joshua - who headed the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) - was not part of their clique.

"He was rough. He was crude. His methods were unorthodox," says Abimbola Adelakun, assistant professor in the African Studies Department at the University of Texas.

For me, i am not the God that called TB Joshua so i cannot question his calling. one of the challenges he had in his life time was him not be accepted by the body of Christians in Nigeria. This alone is a enough frustration and he had this case of his church collapse on him all through.

These two challenges can affect ones peace. I HAVE VOW NOT JUDGE ANY MAN OF GOD, BECAUSE EVEN ME, I AM NOT PERFECT.

RIP Prophet T. B. JOSHUA.

Indeed it is hard to see the church going on without him.
I've also been thinking that the church may actually collapse without TB Joshua.

I've never been a religious person.. But you see this man, i respect him alot.. His church was his church, and his alone. Other pastors in Nigeria their church na family business.
It's actually healthier for both husband and wife to be involved in ministry work. Now there're lots of fraudsters too but it's healthier if both husband and wife are involved. Many of such people knew they were wired for ministry work and chose spouses with a similar/ supportive calling.
About family involvement,
It's Just like we have families of Doctors, lawyers, engineers and we're thrilled.
Aaron and his sons were priests and Eli and his lineage were priests too before God rejected them but like I said earlier there are fakes too.
Doesn't mean there are no genuine ones

He was a good man that cared about the poor, masses! he gave out whatever he made from his church, he didn't use that to buy 5 private jets or 100 luxury cars but he gave back instead to the poor unlike those fake pastors like adeboye and the one with a private school and also plenty of the so called fake pastors, may his soul rest in peace TB Joshua.

Omihanifa:
'They thought he was fake'

Mr Joshua came from a poor background and was brought up by his Muslim uncle following the death of his Christian father.

He mostly wore a jalabia - a loose-fitting garment worn by Muslims, and kept a moustache that gave him an intense look.

When Mr Joshua started his ministry on television in the mid-90s, his hair did not glisten, his shoes were not shiny and he did not have an American twang - he spoke with a Yoruba accent, and a mixture of English and Pidgin.

His followers found him charismatic and down-to-earth, and his message spread around the world.

Mr Joshua refined himself as he became wealthy, adding a fleet of cars and a private jet to look the part, but he remained an outsider.

Most Nigerian pastors are products of a mentorship scheme where senior pastors are referred to as "daddy/mummy in the Lord".

"They don't believe you can stand on your own without having anyone to defer to," says Gbenga Osinaike, publisher of Nigeria's leading Pentecostal publication.

"The extreme charismatic movements feel you need a mentor - Paul, father of Timothy, Elijah, father of Elisha, and all that. They thought he was fake and the relationship was frosty."

Born on 12 June 1963, Mr Joshua also did not help himself with outlandish claims - one of them being that he was in his mother's womb for 15 months.

To witness his prayer sessions in the early days of his televised ministry was to be treated to exorcism that many felt bordered on the occult.

Some of it felt like a hypnotic session, others like that of a magician at work.
He was not effusively dramatic when he prayed, and seemed not to expend a great deal of strength when he supposedly commanded spirits out of humans.

But he still wielded enormous power - people fell when he spread out his arms, rolled when he snapped his fingers, and his breath pushed back rows and rows of his congregation.
