After an eight month absence, Nigerian ‘Prophet’
T.B. Joshua returned to his Lagos-based church,
The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN),
on Sunday 3rd January 2016 with more prophetic
revelations concerning Africa.
Speaking on the Nigerian political scene, Joshua
declared that a minority party would soon rise to
significance. “One of the minority parties will be
lifted up and reckoned with,” he told congregants.
“Let us pray for God’s love and unity in
Nigeria.”
It would be recalled that Joshua allegedly
predicted the rise of the current ruling party, All
Progressives Congress (APC), in 2010.
Joshua further called for prayers for Nigeria’s new
Agriculture Minister, Audu Ogbeh. “We have to
pray for God to sustain him because much is
expected from him,”Joshua declared, alluding to
his earlier advice for the government to invest
heavily in the agricultural sector.
The cleric also ‘prophesied’ extensively
concerning Southern Africa and the challenges the
region would face in 2016, particularly the
farming industry.
“There will be little rain at the wrong time,
which is not good for farming,” Joshua
warned. “Many farmers will be
discouraged,” he continued, calling on the
government to build “dams and irrigation
mechanism using available water from the
sea.”
He further warned Southern African nations not to
yield to any temptation to surrender their
industries to foreign companies because of the
challenges that would arise.
Speaking in his usual parabolic tone, Joshua
called for prayers for the regional leaders as “the
ending of February to April are very peculiar
months in the Southern African sub-region.”
Joshua further gave a global warning concerning
the volatile North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. “I
am seeing an ‘arrow’ from there and it will affect
the world,” he declared, adding that North Korea
possessed weaponry that most countries were
unaware of.
“The war we are fighting already in Syria is
still there. We cannot afford another one
again,” he stated, calling for those involved
to embrace peace.
"There are going to be unusual, uncommon
challenges this year 2016 but in challenges,
we children of God flourish," he added,
encouraging congregants and viewers of his
popular television station Emmanuel TV.
Followers of the Nigerian ‘Prophet’ were delighted
to see his return to the pulpit, claiming his
unusual prolonged absence was for ‘spiritual
fortification'.
“Can you see that your pastor did not go on
holiday,” Joshua jokingly told the crowd
after he had moved in the midst of the huge
congregation, ministering ‘deliverance’ and
‘prophecy’.
The service had over 3,000 foreigners in
attendance, including those who had travelled
from the Eastern European nations of Ukraine and
Russia.
Joshua’s last public appearance at The SCOAN
was in April 2015, shortly before his ‘Miracle
Crusade’ in the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City
which allegedly attracted over 150,000 attendees.
