Senator Commends TB Joshua For Rebranding National Image, Charity

An article from the prestigious Guardian Newspaper of Nigeria…

Pastor Temitope. B. Joshua of Synagogue Church of All Nations has been commended for his contributions to the country and the rebranding efforts of the government. The vice chairman of Senate Committee on the Federal Capital, Senator Anthony Agbo, who said this during the holiday, pointed out that he was overwhelmed by what he saw on the Emmanuel TV of the Synagogue Church of All Nations. He explained that the number of foreigners who troop into the Church made him think about any other spot in the country that could attract such mammoth influx of foreign nationals into Nigeria, adding that such outlet could only be possible as a blessing of God.

Pastor TB Joshua - Spend more on others and less on yourselves

The senator, who is also the National Patron of National Association of Disabled Persons in Nigeria, said the influx of citizens of different countries to come and benefit from healing and the un-paralleled charity works of the Church made him happy to be a Nigerian in spite of everything.

“Watching the Emmanuel TV, I cannot see myself fail to glorify God for giving this kind of gift and man of God to Nigeria. The TV channel has made Nigeria one of the world’s hottest spots for religious tourism.” Agbo identifies poverty as the greatest problem of the country, lamenting that the situation is compounded by the fact that the rich get richer but hold tightly unto what they have because no rich man wants to give the smallest bit of what he has to the next poor person in his community either a cripple or widow.

He added: “In Emmanuel TV, I see in contrast how an individual is being used by God to gather all the people rejected by the society, dwarfs who nobody want to associate with, widows with pathetic and plaintive cries as well as disabled persons who live under the bridges and on the streets of all states in the country. He clothes, feeds and rehabilitates them. Mother Theresa of Calcutta got the Nobel prize and highest award in India. From what I have seen in Emmanuel TV within the last two months, Pastor Joshua deserves the national award; not only for his charitable works, but to glorify God. It is not for him as a person but to God for giving this gift to Nigeria and Africa.”

  1. This just goes to show that God is good, I am from zimbabwe, when my friends and family watch the live service every sunday, we feel like we are part of Nigeria. The Mighty Man of God is making Africa a pleasant place to be.

    Every one who goes to the SCOAN does not come back the same. And indeed miracles are happening to us the viewers, from all parts of the world. Indeed distance is not a barrier. Prophet TB Joshua is making the world one big happy family. Praise God.

    For me, a trip to the SCOAN will be a dream come true.

  2. I couldn’t agree more. I think that it is high time that we Nigerians wake up and realize just who Prophet TB Joshua is. He is doing the work that the government should be doing – caring for the needy and he really is redeeming our image abroad. He was awarded the OFR last year and I think he deserves the national award.

  3. African continent is said to be the richest in the world yet the poorest in monetary terms. We can’t forever blame the coloniasts. We must check our relationship with our Creator.

    2 Chron 7:14
    If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

    Prophet TBJ is our living example, he is not a material Pastor.

  4. Personally I don’t think that Mr. Handsome has received enough accolades for his humanitarian efforts. In my opinion a lot of celebrity do-gooders are totally phony and engage in so called good deeds merely for positive publicity. I have to say that I don’t think that George is one of the phonies out there in the world of celbrity do-gooders. I admire what he is doing for the Haitian people. I wish more celebrities were as real as he is when it comes to helping out those less fortunate in the world. So kudos to George and his desire to make this world a better place.

  5. Nigerian government should re-think and recognise Prophet T.B Joshua as a prophet of God.
    Lets join hands together and encourage prophet T. B Joshua
