Pastor T.B. Joshua has responded on his official Facebook Page to a story circulated this morning that he is building a University of Technology in Ondo State, Nigeria MESSAGE FROM PROPHET T.B. JOSHUA: I read this morning on a blog that “T.B. Joshua is building a $1 billion university of technology in Ondo State”. This is a good aspiration but for the moment, my people, God has not given us the capacity for your desire. The story is not true! People are hungry and God would want to see that food is on the table for those in need, which should be our primary object, before the issue of building a university. There is a need for industry and skills development. When it is time, this is the area where God would want me to venture into. I know my God is always in order. Let me drop my pen here by emphasising that the story is not true. Thank you for your prayers and wishes. SOURCE - http://www.facebook.com/tbjministries |

Amidst the news of Kenya’s shock election annulment, a video showing Nigerian Prophet TB Joshua’s message to the East African nation has been released. On Sunday, January 1, 2017, TB Joshua spoke about the elections in response to a question asked by a Kenyan congregant. “This will be very, very close – and it will be difficult to call,” the cleric declared to his multinational audience in a sermon broadcast on the Christian channel, Emmanuel TV. “It will be very close [between] the opposition and the ruling. It will be very, very difficult to call… What can you expect from there?” Supporters of the cleric on social media are citing the landmark ruling by Kenya’s Supreme Court as a “fulfillment” of Joshua’s words. “The presidential election was not conducted in accordance with the constitution, rendering the declared results invalid, null and void,” Chief Justice David Maraga said, ordering that fresh elections be held within 60 days. Although the incumbent President, Uhuru Kenyatta, disagreed with the ruling, he implored the Kenyan people to maintain peace. “Your neighbour will still be your neighbour regardless of whatever has happened – regardless of their political affiliation, religion, color or tribe,” he said in an address to the nation. In a post to his official Facebook page, Joshua noted that he would “continue to pray for the peace of God to reign in the nation of Kenya”. The Nigerian cleric is well known in Kenya, recently stirring controversy when a video of Olympic distance runner Mercy Cherono receiving ‘deliverance’ at his church went viral.

Is T.B. Joshua really one of the world's richest pastors? Now, you can finally hear from the horse's mouth the truth behind how he actually makes his 'money'... We are sure the answer will SHOCK YOU! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKMHRnmmh0Q |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX1hv4l7JJI Just watched this video. Question - The man didn't actually acknowledge that he became a Christian after his healing. Did the Church insist enough about preaching Christ to him, not just a miracle?? Interested in knowing people's thoughts as this could be a powerful tool to witness to our Muslim brethren... |
A group of traditional rulers from Rivers State, Nigeria, gave public testimony on Sunday 16th July 2017, insisting that the prayers of popular cleric T.B. Joshua were behind the peace currently being experienced by their once crime-ridden community. A post published on Joshua’s official Facebook Page explained how a group of six community leaders from Omoku, an oil-rich area in Rivers State, had visited The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos in May 2017 to seek for “God’s intervention”. Prior to their visit, the media had been replete with gruesome stories of serial kidnapping, ritual killing and cult activities that had plagued the area and scared off several foreign investors and local banks. HRH Eze GE Ogidi told congregants that the community had previously invited several “prominent ministers of God in Nigeria” to organize crusades in the region and pray against the menace without any visible change. According to him, upon their arrival The SCOAN, the group were warmly received, given some of Joshua’s famed ‘Morning Water’ and all received prayer during the church service on Sunday. To their surprise, the cleric then gave the group N300,000 to assist in their return journey and assured them of Divine protection in their community. Since that visit, Ogidi testified to a palpable change in his community. “We can now sleep with our eyes closed,” he told excited congregants. “The regular shooting, killing and stealing has disappeared. Our land has been delivered!” Moved by the transformation witnessed in such a short space of time by Omoku, the traditional rulers were accompanied by five other elders representing various clans in Rivers State to seek for similar intervention in their own communities. Members of the community were quick to corroborate the testimony on social media. Fred Okiridu, an Omoku resident, wrote on Facebook, “I am a living witness. I was told that some of our chiefs visited The SCOAN for spiritual intervention for the evil that has taken over our community. I was surprised when things changed suddenly from worse to better, bad news to good news, sorrow to joy!” It would be recalled that APC Chieftan Franklin Obi, his wife and son were among those gruesomely murdered in Omoku. Pictures of his decapitated body sparked national outrage after being published online. SOURCE: http://dailypost.ng/2017/07/17/rivers-monarchs-claim-tb-joshuas-prayer-stopped-killing-kidnapping/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIZz-L9iunM True to its reputation for releasing 'spiritually sensational' clips, Emmanuel TV?s YouTube channel has unveiled yet another video purportedly showing a Nigerian woman vomiting a live insect during a prayer session. The clip opens with T.B. Joshua leading congregants in a time of prayer before focusing on Miss Vivian Sunday who clutches her stomach next to a putrid pile of vomit. Closer inspection reveals an insect within the mess, still alive and wriggling unnervingly across the church floor. "As the evil spirit commanded it inside, the Spirit of God commands it out," the cleric explained to the bewildered congregation, insisting it was no ordinary insect. Proving his point, Vivian later shared a shocking life experience, detailing how she became a naive victim of human trafficking under the premise of seeking greener pastures abroad. According to her, she travelled by road from Delta State to Mali where she was forced into prostitution to pay back her traffickers. With ?business? declining amidst worsening conditions, Vivian was pestered into visiting a local ?witch-doctor? who gave her a ?charm? to attract men. However, with her health deteriorating, fellow prostitutes raised sufficient funds to transport her back to Nigeria where she decided to immediately visit Joshua?s church in Lagos for prayers. After testifying that she was fully restored, the cleric gave the young lady N200,000 to start afresh in Nigeria as she had left her job and sold all her possessions to sponsor her travels. The clip is a latest in a string of videos with a bizarre, supernatural edge released by Emmanuel TV on YouTube, which have proven both controversial and popular. The channel boasts 560,000 subscribers and its videos have been viewed over 240 million times. SOURCE: Linda Ikeji - http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2017/07/video-woman-vomits-live-insect-in-tb.html |
Three issues to point out here 1. When the incident at SCOAN happened, CAN championed the Christian's whose 'loud silence' was unnerving and unbecoming given the scope and scale of what happened. Is it after a fire has broken out at House on the Rock that they now want to use what happened at TB Joshua's Church to support their narrative and claim of Christianity under attack? It smacks of hypocrisy. 2. I recall TBJ saying at the height of the furore surrounding this incident that his life had been characterised by the reality that he has been lied against for many years but eventually people come to see the truth. Recent revelations by FFK, coupled with the facts that everyone already knew - such as the uncanny nature of the building's collapse - suggest that something far more sinister happened on September 12th 2014 than the government would like us to know. 3. Whatever opinion you have about The SCOAN Founder or about what actually transpired that fateful day, no one can deny that TB Joshua has continued to grow in both influence, popularity and stature - a perennial example of weathering the storm. Time is the ultimate test and trumpet of truth. Its gong soundeth loud and clear here... "No matter how long a lie is sustained, the truth will someday prevail..." |
The Christian Association of Nigeria (Youth Wing) has called on the Federal Government to probe the attack in the building of the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Ikotun-Egbe , Lagos and the recent incident on House on the Rock in Abuja. The organisation on Thursday said it had uncovered, through intelligence reports, desperate plans at official quarters to silence Christianity. The national President of YOWICAN, Mr Daniel David Kadzai, raised the alarm during press conference in Abuja saying that classified intelligence available to them confirm a gang-up to ‘submerge, subdue and possibly wipe-out Christianity from Nigeria.’ The text of the press conference reads: “This intelligence further indicates that attacks such as the mystifying collapse of a major building of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Ikotun Egbe, Lagos State on the 12th of September 2014, the aberrant fire of the House on the Rock Church in Abuja on the 25th of June, 2017, the unobtrusive removal of the subject – Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) from the curriculum of the Nigerian educational system, the killings in southern Kaduna this year, the attack this week on a pastor of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) serving under Keffi District Church Council (15 Kilometers from the Federal Capital Territory Abuja) and the most recent one yesterday, the 28th of June 2017 bombing of the Missionary Hospital in Bornu State all indicate the verisimilitude of this intelligence. “Further public outcry made by some influential Christians in Nigeria (most especially Mr Femi Fani Kayode) regarding what we saw in the past as mere “accidents” confirm our intelligence and presents a clearer picture which is most disturbing, that most of these happenings where not mere “accidents” after all. “The Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) and the entire congregation of Christians in Nigeria conclude, therefore, that there is a conscious and vehemently sustained move to submerge, subdue and systematically exterminate the existence and sustainability of Christianity and Christians in Nigeria. We wish to emphatically make this point clear, “that we are not naive of these machinations and that the time of political correctness, where such matters when known were swept under the carpet and played as low as possible is over. “YOWICAN with this statement wishes to draw the attention of the public in Nigeria as well as the international community on this development which we in the past thought were mere attacks or calamities lacking coherent sequence. “In the same vein however, this statement is also meant to inform both the perpetuators and sponsors of these heinous schemes (religious fundamentalists and their sponsors who we now know are some highly influential countries of the world), that the Christian community is fully aware of their strategic plans and are watching closely to further bring to further clarity, their intents. “It is in this same vein that YOWICAN calls on the government of Nigeria to mobilise as a matter of urgency, all it’s law enforcement and diplomatic apparatuses for the purpose of further investigating the matter, beef up security and begin enquiry and ascertain their position on the matters raised here whilst also using and effectively engaging their benefit of “state power” to probe most of these countries and groups who are involved in these crimes against the Christian community in Nigeria. From a national security perspective however, we believe that any systemic plan aimed at submerging any religion in this country constitutes a threat to the unity of this country. YOWICAN wishes to again affirm, that it will keep a keen watch over the government of Nigeria to see how judiciously, it reacts to matters raised in this statement. “Also, the Nigerian government should also open up investigations as soon as possible to ascertain the immediate and remote cause of specifically, the SCOAN building church attack, to bring those culpable of this heinous crime to this church to book and also come up with an appropriate compensation to SCOAN for the embarrassment and damage to both the image of this church and Christianity in Nigeria. “Worthy of mention also, is the recent outrageous approval by the Federal Executive Council (FEC ) the sum of N4 billion for the purchase of Metro Plaza in Abuja to be used as National Hajj Commission National Secretariat. Whilst emphasising that we do not have a problem with any donations made to a religion outside Christianity, we wish to reiterate that we are skeptical as to why such huge sums of money would be approved for a particular religion while Christianity has only received meager financial empowerment. We understand this and have made a correlation between this donation and the aforementioned calculated scheme to quieten Christianity in Nigeria. “Finally, we wish to make it clear that as a religion, known and practised in many countries of the world, and one that has track record of championing peace and respect of humanity and life as evident in the teachings of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, a religion that is known for selflessness, one that has helped reinvigorate nations and bring succour and hope to millions of people, Christianity and Christians in Nigeria refuses to be intimidated by any uncivilised conquest of any fundamentalist religious sect and their so-called sponsors. “We demand a response to this statement by the government of Nigeria in the weeks ahead with a detailed response to reflect the following (1) what their findings as regards the matters raised above are and (2) what they have done or will do (using the privilege of “state power” in seeing to the stemming of such further embarrassments to our nation, our churches, Christians, and the religion of Christianity in Nigeria. May God bless and continue to foster the unity, peace and prosperity of Nigeria.” SOURCE: Vanguard Newspaper - http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/06/synagogue-church-attack-christian-youths-demand-probe-compensation-t-b-joshua/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4lftwj89rQ An inspiring documentary detailing the recent visit of Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua to the South American nation of Ecuador has been released on YouTube, showing rare footage of the cleric’s adventurous trek through a rainforest on a mammoth humanitarian mission. The clip shows Joshua being warmly received by Ecuadorian military officials and then meeting the nation’s Vice President Jorge Glas, before embarking on an intrepid journey through a dense tropical rainforest to the indigenous community of San Salvador de Los Chachis. After the earthquake that struck the nation in April 2016 had destroyed the only school which previously served the entire community, Joshua, alongside his ‘Emmanuel TV partners’ rebuilt the school and refurbished it with new equipment. The cleric is seen officially opening the school, encircled by hundreds of grateful local students whose academic pursuits have been rekindled by the philanthropic act. The journey back to Ecuador’s capital Quito provides viewers with unique insight into the pastor’s personal travails as his vehicle breaks down due to adverse weather and Joshua is forced to walk on foot for several hours through the muddy terrain. “We are going on a mission and it is not all missions that are smooth,” he tells viewers. “We went to give food; we are running out of food now… What a rare privilege to suffer for the needy.” In stark contrast, another ceremony is held days later and attended by top government and military figures within Ecuador where Joshua is honoured for his humanitarian gestures. Since the video’s release, hundreds of comments have been shared, especially noting Joshua’s humble demeanor and endearing message amidst the harsh conditions. Earlier reports revealed the finances donated by Emmanuel TV for the refurbishment of the school alongside the immediate disaster relief aid to Ecuador exceeded $500,000. Pictures courtesy of T.B.

The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Samson Supo Ayokunle, is the latest to add his voice to the growing call for Prophet T.B. Joshua to remain in Nigeria. In a birthday message to Joshua published in Nigerian newspaper The Daily Sun, the CAN President advised him to reconsider the decision, adding that anyone speaking the truth and following the Scripture would always face persecution. Likening Joshua’s persecution to what Jesus Christ also faced, he said, “Jesus Himself was also persecuted in Israel, so if his decision to relocate is due to this, I will enjoin him to reconsider. In 2 Timothy 3:10, Paul said those who live in Christ would face persecution. He should therefore not leave Nigeria for Israel. There is no nation that he would go that there would not be persecution, especially if he is saying the truth and following the Gospel.” He equally congratulated Joshua on his birthday and advised him to continue with the good works he has been doing both locally and abroad, especially in the area of humanitarian services. “At 54, I wish T.B. Joshua well. I want to enjoin him to look back and do a self-appraisal. All the things he has done well, he should concentrate and continue with them. As men of God, we have been called to serve humanity, to serve our generation. He should not lose focus on this. He is serving humanity and his generation. That’s why God called him.” Ayokunle joins the likes of Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, Dr Frederick Fasehun, Lai Mohammed, Dele Momodu and Femi Fani-Kayode, who have all called on Joshua to stay in his homeland.

Nigeria may lose N8bn yearly if TB Joshua Relocates to Israel – Fasehun By Kunle Oderemi NIGERIA risks losing about N8 billion foreign inflow annually should founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations, Pastor T.B. Joshua makes good his treat to relocate his church to Israel, the founder of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Dr Fredrick Fasehun, has said. He spoke at a press conference in Okota, Lagos State, on Wednesday, against the backdrop of plans by the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) to relocate to Israel because of prosecution at home. Fasehun identified with the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhji Lai Mohammed, in his plea to the cleric to shelve the plan because of the wide ranging implications for Nigeria. He urged both the Federal and the Lagos State governments to discontinue the judicial prosecution of Joshua as part of steps to discourage him from relocating to Israel. “We shall be losing Joshua and SCOAN’s donations, charities and philanthropy worth about N8billion in scholarships, disaster relief, house rent support and sportsmen sponsorship among others. He lamented that Nigeria had lost many of its best brains and citizens to the brain-drain syndrome, adding that recent statistics put the number of medical doctors that left the country at 15,000 with the negative impact on the health sector. According to Fasehun, the relocation of Joshua, who said his church had been provided with land, building and facilities in Israel, would “be one brain-drain incident too many, as well as a national embarrassment.” The OPC leader said the Nigerian government and Nigerians as a whole, should do everything possible to dissuade the preacher because the location would deny the country of the huge number of foreign tourists and worshippers, including world leaders that frequently seek “verifiable healings, deliverance, miracles and prosperity” since the church was established. “SCOAN’s relocation amounts to losing our country’s reputedly biggest tourist attraction, the most visited destination point by religious tourists in West Africa, a place that the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) acknowledges as hosting six of every 10 foreigners travelling to this country.

Flamboyant Nigerian Pastor Chris Okotie is the latest prominent voice to wade into the controversy over Prophet T.B. Joshua’s proposed relocation to Israel. Speaking on Facebook, Okotie, who has long been an outspoken critic of Joshua, described the cleric as an attention-seeking “impostor”. “He is controlled by a malevolent misanthropic spirit,” the pastor of Household of God International Ministries wrote on his official Facebook Profile under a news article he reposted detailing Joshua’s alleged relocation. “His hypocritical jeremiad should be ignored. He is just another frustrated shaman seeking public sympathy,” Okotie wordily concluded. However, followers of Okotie were surprisingly quick to rise to Joshua’s defence, commenting that the cleric had not been positioned to judge on such matters. “Honestly, I do not think a brilliant man like Chris Okotie will castigate another who propagates God's throne,” queried Tamaraudoubra Sultan Zimughan. “On whose mandate is Okotie labelling T.B. Joshua a shaman? Go to both Churches and see whose is more of God? Look at T.B. Joshua's life and that of Chris Okotie and see who is more fruitful”. APC chieftain Timi Frank and PDP stalwart Femi Fani Kayode are among those who have joined the growing call for Joshua to remain in Nigeria, citing the spiritual, economic and social impact of his church. Meanwhile, in a post on Joshua’s official Facebook page, the controversial cleric revealed the secret behind his ‘money’. According to him, the reward accrued from ministry cannot be quantified in material terms. Speaking specifically about his foreign crusades, Joshua disclosed that he pays for the large majority of arrangements and does not touch the offerings collected during such events. “My joy is to see people healed, delivered and blessed. That is my money. Each person that is delivered is more than $20,000 to me! That is the money God gives me - the joy to sleep in peace,” Joshua stated. “You need to know what it means if God uses you to heal and deliver people,” the cleric continued. “If you know what it means – the joy in God using you to deliver people – you will never ask the people you deliver to bring money… If God uses you to remove the pain of one, you are more than a millionaire.” According to the prophet cum philanthropist, “If money is your gain, you are robbing yourself. That money is insufficient – it cannot give you peace.” SOURCE: http://www.nigerianeye.com/2017/05/chris-okotie-attacks-tb-joshua-over.html

Nigeria's Tourism Industry Threatened As Lai Mohammed Set To Plead With TB Joshua There are strong indications that the Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Lia Mohammed, might in coming days appeal to the General Overseer and founder of the Synagogue Church of Nation, Prophet T.B Joshua over plans to leave Nigeria and relocate his ministry to Isreal. Recall that the revered Man of God had while speaking at his church service on Sunday 30th April 2017, disclosed that he had just returned from the ‘Holy Land’ after holding meetings with three prominent Israeli mayors of Jerusalem, Tiberias and the Jordan Valley. The cleric said the move would help people to “appreciate” what his ministry had been contributing to both the local economy and Nigeria’s international image. Statistics from the Nigerian Immigration Services, revealed that six out of every ten travelers to Nigeria go to The SCOAN, (The Synagogue Church of All Nations) with countless local businesses and hotels in the area relying on the church activities for their sustenance. This according to Financial Analysts has significantly added to the growth of Nigeria's,Gross National Product, GNP and from all indications, his relocation will deal a big blow to the Tourism Industry. According to TB Joshua, Israel offered him both land and facilities in an area around the biblical site of the Sea of Galilee to organize meetings for international pilgrims. “This is where my Father in Heaven came from – it’s non-negotiable,” the cleric explained, adding that it was not a decision he undertook carelessly. “It’s the best place for you to meet Prophet T.B. Joshua. After your healing, blessing and deliverance, you can move around all the spiritual monuments which will establish your faith,” he explained. He also said his decision to leave is not influenced by the persecution he has suffered doing ministry in Nigeria. T.B Joshua advised his congregation to "always remember Africa in prayer. Many heroes and great people have been chased out of Africa. There are many geniuses in the Western world who are originally from Africa,” TB Joshua said. TM news, gathered that although no timeframe for the move was specified in the service; it was'nt also clear whether activities in The SCOAN's Ikotun-Egbe base would cease entirely.

What Nigeria’ll lose if TB Joshua yields to Israeli calls to relocate to Galilee in Israel https://i0.wp.com/businesshilights.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/TB-Joshua.jpg?resize=278%2C181&ssl=1 Posted by: Business Hilights in Banking/Investments May 1, 2017 There are fears that Nigerians and Nigerian government may be in for serious shocks should the founder and Senior Pastor of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet T B Joshua finally heeds to growing calls and pressure from the State of Israel to move and relocate the entire church to any portion of land he may like around the respected sites around the Sea of Galilee or Nazareth. The church is currently located at number 1, Segun-Irefin Street, Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos, Nigeria. The man of God paid a visit to the State of Israel and toured several monument sites last week and came back within the week. Breaking the news of his invitation to relocate yesterday during Sunday Service live broadcast from Ikotu, Lagos, Nigeria, he said “I have been officially invited by the three Majors of strategic religious sites in Israel including Nazareth, Jordan valley and Jerusalem to come and take lands, build and operate SCOAN considering the true work of God he has been doing in Nigeria”. Business Hilights investigations on what Nigeria stands to lose as a nations showed among other things that international visits to SCOAN alone remains the single largest pull factor and attraction force of foreigners visiting Nigeria for tourism either religious or otherwise in the last 10 years. https://i0.wp.com/businesshilights.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/TB-Joshua-2.jpg?resize=300%2C147 TB Joshua 2Though efforts to get real international visitors traffic at the church failed at press time, checks at both Abuja and Lagos Airports showed that majority of mass traffic by foreigners are for the church. A source very close to the church told Business Hilights on phone that SCOAN welcomes a weekly tourists traffic of not less than 200 international visitors. Going by this statistics, it means that the federal government alone earns first of all, five per cent Passenger Service Charge infused into the way back ticket of each and every one of them through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). This tax is statutorily collected by the airlines and remitted to government through the NCAA. Whereas this collection runs into billions of naira on a quarterly basis, it is also on record since the beginning of insurgency in the North East, the federal government introduced what can be called Air security tax used to deepen security systems at the airports which is $20 per air passenger. This tax too, is embedded in the air fare, collected by airlines and remitted to the federal government. Statistics also show that over $1 billion dollars are now in the dedicated account for the tax and further investigations show that visitors’ to SCOAN make over 78 per cent of the air travelers visiting Nigeria weekly. https://i2.wp.com/businesshilights.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/TB-Joshua-3.jpg?resize=300%2C225 TB Joshua 3On what the Lagos State government had been gaining, a visit to Ikotu, the current location of the church showed massive rise in hotels developments by private investors within the radius of the church. Whereas the hoteliers rake in foreign direct cash from the visitors who lodged in their hotel rooms, the state government deepens its tax basket by several taxes paid by the hotels. At the community level, several supermarkets and eateries within the axis also enjoy their own chunk of the gains of the church location in Nigeria. Besides, the Local Government also has a way of raising income from the presence of the church in the axis. On other business opportunities’, there has been a rise in number of jobless youths who are now engaged in Airport taxi, Airport shuttle services and even Okada riders stationed at Cele and Airport Road Junctions making their daily bread by moving international visitors to and fro the Church. Finance analysts who have put together all the economic multiplier effects of the Church’s location in Nigeria say the gains are unimaginable; stressing that any attempt to move out of Ikotu or Nigeria in particular will lead to the closure of several businesses and possibly turn Ikotu a mini ghost town after all. Giving more insights to his challenges and unfolding developments during yesterday’s Sunday Service monitored by Business Hilights team of editors in Lagos through the live telecast, Prophet Joshua said in parts; “Image I relocate the Ministry to another country what will happen to Nigerian investments in hotels around Ikotu and environs, Taxi drivers who move visitors to and fro the Airport”. But these are the things our people don’t take to consideration and they want TJ Joshua’s head at all costs. “If you are a man of the people, you have their affairs in your heart. You will be able to know how your people are doing, how would they succeed, eat and all that and I consider all these. “So when I was there four days ago, they took me to a hall, (Please can you play that again, show them the hall); They took me to the hall, and they said, Prophet TB Joshua, if you are ready, we are ready to assign this place for your mission. “So, Ehm, I looked at myself, I said haa!, Nigeria. Thousands of hotels, hoteliers, where would they go? What will happen if I relocate? Unemployment, taxi drivers, out of eight to 10 people coming to you as a taxi driver, eight of them from Synagogue. “And, I know that Israel is where my father in haven came from. This is not negotiable. I said not negotiable. If it were to be any other country, I will negotiate, but Israel is the land of my father in heaven. TB Joshua 4“I was taken to four strategic places to make my choice on location of the Church in Israel. They include Sea of Galilee; a land direct to the Sea of Galilee. They said if I don’t want that hall and want to build mine, this is land behind the Sea of Galilee. “The three majors came together. These are the key places religious tourists go in Israel-: Nazareth, Capernaum and others are under them. The three majors are in charge of the key religious tourist sites. You hear what they are saying? They want me to come over. “That showed that they have watched Emmanuel TV so much. Why, because what is happening is exactly what they hear about our father in Heaven. https://i0.wp.com/businesshilights.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/TB-Joshua-4.jpg?resize=285%2C177 Imagine somebody on the wheelchair at the pool of Bethsaida got healed; the record will be back if I relocate. I can see the reason why they would encourage the Ministry of TB Joshua to come and stay in Israel. I take it back again, where would all these big hotels here in Ikotu and environs go? Where would they go and the best place to meet TB Joshua will be Nazareth, Galilee. Israel is the best place to meet me. “After your healing, you now move round to see all religious tourist places, spiritual monuments, to establish your faith, it’s the best place. It’s the best place to meet Prophet TB Joshua. After your healing or your blessing and deliverance, you now move round all the spiritual monuments, to establish your faith that is the best place. “But human side of me; is complaining. What human side of me is complaining? All these big, big, big hotels they build around me with trillion dollars, taxi driver, Customs, people coming from all over the world to promote our country Nigeria”. https://i0.wp.com/businesshilights.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Udoma-Buhari-Adeosun-Ventures-Africa.jpg?resize=300%2C104 Udoma, Buhari, Adeosun L-r: Minister of national Planning, Senator Udo Udoma, President Muhammadu Buhari and Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun Any time they come, as they are going back, whoever meets them and say anything bad about Nigeria, they will tell them, no! The country is not as bad as you say because I have been there to see Prophet TB Joshua. “Because some people believe this country is bad, but when you go back you start to tell them, no no no, it’s good. I have been there. What a wonderful promotion. Changing people’s impression of the nation. “Now, if somebody like me will leave Nigeria and live in Israel, what impression will the world have on Nigeria? Many will ask if the man could leave the country, what is happening. But God is still saying something. May be God want Nigerians to appreciate me and my God. Yes, may be God is trying to prove something. They do not know what you stand for and what you are doing. “Ok, let’s go to Israel for two or three month’s revival and see how Nigerians will appreciate what has been happening here at Ikotu, Lagos, Nigeria and Africa in general. “May be let’s just invite the whole world to meet me for some days at Nazareth and let’s see how things will look like here in Nigeria…I think God want to prove something. https://i0.wp.com/businesshilights.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/SCOAN-22.jpg?resize=300%2C62 SCOAN Front view Front View of SCOAN at Ikotu-Egbe, Lagos, Nigeria “I want to thank God.

NAIJ.com gathered that a 30-year-old woman has just been healed of Arthritis at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), after she has been on the wheelchair for seven years. The video of the healing of Mrs Diane Ebele Okeke was shared via the Facebook handle of TB Joshua Ministries with the caption: “The age of miracles has not yet passed. The Miracle Worker is alive; His name is Jesus Christ!” According to the video, the lady was seen carrying a placard saying: “GOD IS THE HEALER, HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST. I CANNOT WALK DUE TO RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.” While introducing herself again without showing off the placard, she disclosed that: “My name is Diane, I am from Abuja. I am 30 years old and I cannot walk due to Rheumatoid Arthritis which has affected my body and I’m now confided on a wheelchair. I have had this sickness for the past 7 years and after 3 years I was made to start using the wheelchair. I have tried all solutions but to no avail and I have visited several hospitals, different prayer houses, churches, herbalists but no solution. It has affected me to the extent that I cannot do my house chores, I also have a small baby but due to my condition, it is my husband that helps me bath her while my sister will help take care of her as well as feed her. I cannot do anything on my own, not even to bath or eat. I am a graduate and this thing started after my youth service and ever since I am not happy. I cannot even finish my career. It started when I was 23 years old and now I am 30 years. For the past 7 years I have been stand-still, this has made me unhappy because when I see my age mates and school mates, I feel so sad because I know where they are today.” Read more: https://gossip.naij.com/1101633-tb-joshua-finally-heals-30-year-woman-wheelchair-7-years-photos-video.html

Russian bombers again fly near Alaska For the second consecutive night, Russia flew two long-range bombers off the coast of Alaska on Tuesday, this time coming within 36 miles of the mainland while flying north of the Aleutian Islands, two U.S. officials told Fox News. The two nuclear-capable Tu-95H bombers were spotted by U.S. military radar at 5 p.m. local time. Unlike a similar incident Monday night, this time the U.S. Air Force did not scramble any fighter jets. Instead, it launched a single E-3 Sentry early warning aircraft, known as AWACS, to make sure there were only the two Russian bombers flying near Alaska, and not other aircraft flying underneath the large bombers. U.S. territorial waters extend 12 nautical miles from shore. Two Russian bombers flew within 100 miles of Alaska on Monday night. The Russian bombers took off from an airbase in Petropavlovsk, Russia and returned five hours later to an airbase in Anadyr. Both locations are in eastern Russia, some 1,000 miles away. Last week in Moscow, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said U.S.-Russian relations were at a “low point” during a news conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. While Tillerson was in Moscow, a trio of Russian bombers flew near the east coast of Japan, forcing the Japanese military to scramble 14 fighter jets at various times to intercept the bombers. A Russian spy plane traversed Japan’s west coast. Before Monday's flight near Alaska, the last time Russian bombers flew near the U.S. was July 4, 2015, when a pair of Russian bombers flew off the coasts of Alaska and California, coming as close as 40 miles to Mendocino, Calif. Russian President Vladimir Putin called then-President Barack Obama to wish him a happy Independence Day while the bombers cruised the California coastline. In February, a Russian spy ship sailed up and down the East Coast of the U.S. while remaining in international waters.

I watched yesterday a prophecy released by Prophet T.B. Joshua on YouTube in which he warned people of an incident involving a Russian aircraft, asking congregants to pray on 'Wednesday' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEPQMvTk9s0 I then saw the news today about two Russian nuclear bombers flying threateningly close to America. Perhaps he was referring to this?? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4422710/US-scrambles-jets-intercept-Russian-bombers-near-Alaska.html |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0j4EUhd1EM Famed Nigerian cleric T.B. Joshua has made yet another controversial statement, admitting that he is afraid to collect money from congregants in the form of offerings. “People like me are scared when it comes to collecting thanksgiving because I don’t know where you are coming from with your money,” Joshua candidly stated in a sermon on Sunday 9th April 2017, subsequently released on his popular YouTube channel Emmanuel TV. “Many can come with blood-money,” he acknowledged. “They will just enter church and when it is time for offering, they will raise their offering whereas it’s blood-money. What can a man of God use that kind of blood-money for? Are they going to bless the man?” According to Joshua, this issue has been the bane of many ministries. “What we receive from our members as offering and thanksgiving is killing us,” he warned fellow pastors. The cleric went further to proffer a way out, suggesting that ministers of God are also to blame for the way they praise and give attention to those who drop the largest offerings. “Wicked people like the pastor to ask. If the pastor does not ask, praise and recognise them, they cannot give. They like praise and recognition,” he explained. “If you want to avoid these people and stop them from putting money – don’t praise them. Let them know it’s God they give to, not you.” Revealing another clue, Joshua called on pastors to stop receiving offerings ‘directly’ from congregants. “If you don’t receive something directly from a killer, he will not give you – because he wants to be recognised. They like praise; that is their reward because they have no reward from God.” Joshua stressed that offerings in the church are between the worshipper and God. “What comes from God goes to God. If what you have is from God, it will go to God – you don’t need to have any recognition from the pastor. Whatever you want to give God, you give it,” he surmised. The pastor then impressed on people the need to consider the force behind any action, not merely the action itself. “The force behind your action determines where the action comes from… It’s not what you see but the force behind what you see that matters,” he stated. This is not the first time T.B. Joshua’s statements about tithes and offerings have come to the fore. Last year, news surfaced of an elderly woman whom Joshua returned a tithe of N500,000 to, adding that God would not approve of him collecting a tithe from such an elderly person in need of his support.

Prophet T.B. Joshua warned of this happening last Sunday. I was watching live on Emmanuel TV. He said, "This coming Thursday, pray against whatever that will happen that will cause a conflict between the super-power nations. I see a situation where one will tempt the other – and that will provoke the whole thing. Pray that God should hold their temper." In case you're in doubt, here's a clip from the live service from YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU2v2pNwJ0Y He who has ears, let him hear. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wezegdy1l0 Prophet T.B. Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nation, SCOAN, has predicted another world war. A post on the church’s Facebook Wall quoted the controversial prophet as saying the war will end the whole world. In the post, which included a video, the prophet reminded his members of an earlier prophecy were he called for prayers for the whole world. The post reads, “We wish to remind our viewers of the prophetic warning Prophet T.B. Joshua earlier gave regarding the nation of North Korea, followed by an urgent call for prayer. “We have to pray for the President of North Korea. Pray for North Korea. The reason why I am saying is, I am seeing an arrow from there and it will affect the world, if not a section of the world. “So, let us live at peace because the war we are fighting already both in Syria and others is still there. We cannot afford another one again. It would end the whole world. The whole would be in confusion. “Because what I saw – there are some weapons there the world does not know about. If they throw that arrow, there will be confusion. “Remember, there is fight everywhere. Adding this one to the fight means there will be confusion all over the world.” SOURCE: http://dailypost.ng/2017/04/11/tb-joshua-predicts-another-global-war-says-end-world-video/ |
Guys, this prophecy was from January 2016... Secondly, why sensationalise the title for the sake of attracting people. Your title misrepresents the prophecy. |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-zzcSy6uwg A young Nigerian man has made a shocking confession in T.B. Joshua’s controversial Lagos-based church, claiming he was delivered from the “spirit of man” which led him into “male prostitution.” According to Jonathan Etumodor, a Delta-State indigene, he felt an ‘evil spirit’ enter him during a casual swim in a river as a young boy. Growing up, he began having “affection” for his fellow men. “Older men would meet me, have sex with me and pay me,” Etumodor recounted. “Sometimes, they would invite me to their homes, even when their wife was there. They would put me in their guest-room, telling the wife that I was someone from their office”, he said. According to the young man, his mannerisms and mode of dressing became increasingly feminine as time progressed, stressing “Everything about me was just like a woman”. Etumodor further revealed that although he was diagnosed with the deadly HIV, that did little to quell his activities. “I started infecting people and the people I infected, began infecting others”, he claimed. He said each attempt to start a business from the proceeds of prostitution ended up in disappointment, leading him to delve deeper into the illicit trade, going to gay chat rooms online to advertise his ‘services’. However, when visiting his sister, Jonathan said he discovered Emmanuel TV, the Christian station belonging to Joshua, which she watched faithfully. “If I came closer or touched the TV when T.B. Joshua prayed, I always found myself on the ground,” he recounted. Jonathan says he felt a strange force visibly leave his body during the time of prayer. “I was trying to hold myself from where I was but I was uncontrollable,” he recalled. A week after the prayer, Etumodor went to the Synagogue to share his testimony that his desire for men had gone and he had since been “admiring” ladies. “To the people I have initiated, to the homes I have broken and to the husbands whom I have taken away from their wives, I am very sorry for what I have done,” he begged, insisting it was the devil’s work. TB Joshua, had in response to the contentious issue of same-sex marriage said “God hates sin, not sinners… Sinners can be delivered. “We should hate the act, not the people because our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the ‘spirit beings’ that cause all these acts. “The Bible is my standard. If my parents were one, I would not have been given birth to. Those that are asking this question – if your parents were one, you would not have been given birth to”, he further stated.

I lack words in describing my experience when I watched this video clip. God has blessed Nigeria in such an incredible way with TB Joshua but most seem blinded to this truth. To the skeptics and cynics, just watch. It defies human comprehension... |
TB JOSHUA MEETS THE DEPUTY MAYOR OF JERUSALEM Yosef Daitsh and Hanan Rubin of the Jerusalem Municipality hosted the popular pastor, T.B. Joshua, one of Israel's greatest supporters. Jerusalem’s Deputy Mayor, Yosef Daitsh and Councilor Hanan Rubin last week hosted Pastor T.B. Joshua, one of the most prominent supporters of Israel and the Jewish people in the world, as he visited Jerusalem. T.B. Joshua, 53, is considered one of the world’s most popular pastors, with 2.8 million followers on the Facebook social network. According to YouTube, his videos have been seen by more than 300 million people worldwide. He is considered to be a great supporter of Israel and even calls his church “The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations". During the visit to the Jerusalem Municipality, T.B. Joshua received an honor from Deputy Mayor, Yosef Daitsh (United Torah Judaism) and Councilor Hanan Rubin (Awakening). The two gave him the pin of the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah" of Jerusalem as they surveyed the city and shard with him its challenges. Following the visit, Councilor Hanan Rubin wrote on Facebook: "My friend - Deputy Mayor Yossi Deutsch and myself were privileged to host T.B Joshua Ministries, a large supporter of Israel and Jewry worldwide. Beyond explanations and pictures, I learnt from him an important lesson in modesty. A person with 2.5 million Facebook fans and tens of millions(!) who view him as a saint, going around in simple clothes, without graces of honor, coming to Israel as a guest and significant donor of ZAKA, (via his friend - ZAKA Chairman Yehuda Meshi-Zahav), and goes around as an ordinary person for just one goal - to repair the world - is something exemplary." T.B. Joshua was very pleased with his visit and asked to share the visit on his official Facebook Page: TB Joshua Ministries, which has 2.8 million followers. His supporters and followers were also excited and received thousands of shares on social networks, some in Africa and some around the world, and the rate of sharing is rising at this moment. As a result, councilor Rubin received nearly 3,000 requests from companies, mainly from Africans. “We have had great honor in hosting T.B. Joshua in the Jerusalem Municipality, his presence in the Holy City and his unqualified support for the Jewish people show that only Jerusalem is a city that can bridge all the gaps and make all of Israel friends, not just Israel, Its supporters and lovers from all over the world.” "Just as the gift of honoring parents from a non-Jew, I learned from the commandments of modesty from T.B. Joshua - and I wrote about it in the hope that we will all learn to act like him, despite his high status.” SOURCE: http://www.kikar.co.il/226310.html

I saw this old news crop up in the discussions again with the current travails of Suleman... It's important to note that T.B. Joshua does not engage in name-calling and has never been on record to say a word against a fellow minister of God. As he always says, judgement belongs to God. Therefore, I don't think that he said Suleman is a spiritualist. In any case, time will tell... |
