A video has surfaced of Pastor T.B. Joshua speaking briefly about the upcoming Nigerian elections, insisting that pastors should not take sides. During Joshua’s ministration in his church last month, a lady, whom he had prophesied to regarding a marital challenge, stated that her husband was supposed to be a governorship flag bearer for Nigeria’s ruling party in the upcoming elections.
“Madam, you are bringing the issue of politics to the church,” Joshua immediately interjected. “There is nothing bad about politics but we should not allow it to infiltrate Christianity,” he continued, drawing applause from the crowd.
The cleric then publicly addressed the current political imbroglio affecting many pastors. “My members – whatever political party you belong – let it from your heart,” he counseled. “I should not allow it to infiltrate the ministry. I pray for all of you. I love all of you. Are you PDP? Are you APC? Are you Labour? You are my people.”
He continued, “The nature of our job does not permit us to take sides; we should pray for everyone and let God be the final. After you have done the job, God will still mark it; you should allow God to mark it.”
Joshua’s statement stands in contrast to the position of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) as recent reports suggest they have chosen to endorse ruling President Goodluck Jonathan for a second term.

after six years U are still saying "the man dat WILL..." By now wat we are suppose to be hearing is Gej HAS and not WILL. Keep deceiving urslf.

I believe that most pastors are taking sides because of personal or material reasons - because they will benefit or have benefitted in one way or the other by taking such a stance. This type of issue really separates TB Joshua from most of his Pentecostal colleagues. Whatever you say about him, you cannot fault him for his neutrality when it comes to political issues. Even when Atta-Mills was seeking to be President of Ghana and came to SCOAN, he never allowed him to campaign in his church or speak publicly in his service. It was only after he became the President that Atta-Mills held a thanksgiving service at SCOAN and it was not a political message but rather a humble testimony. I pray other pastors will learn from his stance when it comes to such a heated issue as politics.

I also saw the story about TBJ returning a tithe of 500k to an elderly woman, then giving her an additional 500k...

This is what true, practical Christianity is all about!
