More than 72 hours after the death of the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, the Christian Association of Nigeria on Tuesday broke its deafening silence and expressed condolences to his family and SCOAN congregation.

The condolence which observers believed was belated came following global condemnation of its silence among Christendom and several organisations in the social media.

Critics wondered why CAN would commiserate with others but would wait for a long time before making a statement on Prophet T. B. Joshua.

The President of CAN, Dr. Samson Olasupo Ayokunle, in a terse message titled: “Letter of condolence on the demise of Prophet T.B. Joshua”, described him as “one of the foremost Nigerian charismatic pastor, televangelist, and philanthropist who devoted his entire lifetime to the propagation of the gospel.”

He said, “The news of the demise of your darling husband, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, who was until his transition at the age of Fifty-Seven (57) was the leader and founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations came to us amidst great shock and sorrow.

“We are particularly sad because the deceased showed no trace of illness prior to his demise after an Evening Church Service on Saturday 5th June 2021. We commiserate with you, the children and the entire members of SCOAN on this irreparable loss.

“Prophet T.B Joshua was one of the foremost Nigerian charismatic pastor, televangelist, and philanthropist who devoted his entire lifetime to the propagation of the gospel and ministering to the needs of the downtrodden. He was renowned for his philosophical simplicity and humility. His death is not only a loss to the family and the church, but to Nigeria and the world at large.

“There are indeed no exact words of comfort at a moment like this, but we humbly enjoin you to take solace in the Will of the Almighty God, who works in us both to do and work according to his good purpose (Philippians 2:13).

“We know that Our Lord Jesus Christ in whom there is all-sufficiency, and whom you have been serving wholeheartedly will make all grace abound unto you at this trying moment (2 Corinthians 9:.

“On behalf of all members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), we commiserate with you, and the entire family on this loss. It is our prayer that the Almighty God grant Prophet TB Joshua an eternal rest in his creator, and may God’s perpetual light continue to shine on his path (Amen). Once again, please accept our heartfelt condolence.”

I believe they have deliberated and felt there is the need to pretend to do so. Prophet TB Joshua isn't a member of CAN, so i think that is the reason it took time to send condolence message

The fact that it's coming this late exposes how evil all of them in the organization are..

Even if the man was a juju man people still say a few good words about him because every bad person has a good side also...

Must his ways align with theirs for them to mourn his death...
