THERE has been so much controversy surrounding Nigerian prophet TB Joshua, a man renowned world over yet most vilified over for his miracle healing services and predictions. The controversies have been raging ever since TB Joshua’s ministry stormed into the public domain bringing into question the legitimacy of his works. In talking about legitimacy, I am referring to the standards as set forth in the scriptures, which would help us, identify a genuine prophet. Who then is TB Joshua?
TB Joshua whose full names are Temitope Balogun Joshua was born on June 12, 1963, in a village called Arigidi, in Ikare Akoko, Ondo State of Nigeria. He is married to Evelyn and has four children. TB Joshua, the founder and pastor of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations is said to have sparked controversy starting with his mysterious birth. He allegedly remained in his mother’s womb for 15 months before he was born. He attended primary school at St Steven Anglican school from 1971-1977, but failed to complete one year of secondary school. But as he was growing up, he was known as a “small pastor” because of his love for the Bible and ability to predict things to come in his community. He further gained reputation for spiritual prowess after confronting and disarming a madman who was wielding a machete in the school premises. While in school he was the leader of a scripture union.
When Joshua started the Synagogue Church of All Nations in 1987, he just had a handful of members but since then the church has grown far beyond the shores of Nigeria. More than 15,000 members attend the weekly Sunday service. Numerous videos have been produced documenting the healing of incurable sickness, cancer, paralysis, AIDS, showing people’s conditions before, during and after prayer. Medical doctors have examined the patients before and after and have testified to a supernatural activity beyond medical science. TB Joshua does not even claim to be healer but says, “I am just God’s servant”.
TB Joshua has made phenomenal predictions in full view of a global audience on the satellite Christian Television, Emmanuel TV and all of them have come to pass. He predicted the death of president Levy Mwanawasa a month before it happened, the disastrous cyclone in Myanmar, the attempted assassination of the prime minister of Lesotho Pakalitha Mosisili, resignation of Pakistan president Pervez Musharaf, the comet slam into planet Jupiter which caused quite a fray in the scientific community and more recently the death of American pop star Michael Jackson.
On Michael Jackson’s death, the prophet was seen by a global audience via his television network saying, “I see a star being rushed to the hospital but he wont come back home, the whole world will be shocked. He is a great star in his world”. To add mystery to this prediction, TB Joshua sent a message through the pop star’s associates to let Michael come for prayer and deliverance in Nigeria. The associates thought the message a bit misplaced, because Michael was declared medically fit by his doctors and he was billed for a world concert tour beginning July 13. But alas! That was not to be, he died on June 25 before seeing Prophet TB Joshua.
Despite all these happenings Prophet TB Joshua has come under heavy attack from many, some of whom have labelled him a false prophet. And the debate about the authenticity of his ministry unfortunately has been orchestrated by a section of the clergy within the charismatic Pentecostal brand of Christendom. This has left many lay people unfamiliar with scriptures, let alone issues of Christian theology confused, as reverends or bishops are keener to criticise prophet TB Joshua than providing Biblical counsel.
Since the beaming of Emmanuel TV on free channel stations in most parts of Zambia, we have witnessed an unprecedented following of TB Joshua’s programmes. As a result, emotive debates have emerged from the pulpits to the pews, between clergy and lay people. The man has arrived on the scene, should we dismiss him or his utterances as the ravings of a madman? How do we know for sure that we have a prophet among us?
This article is written on the assumption that the readers hold to the sacredness of the Bible as the inspired scriptures from whence we would draw our authority in judging a matter as heresy or sound doctrine. It is against this background that we seek to examine the ministry of this man, in the light of scriptures. There are fundamental rules in the scriptures, which must be used to judge whether something is of God, or not. In the absence of this knowledge, one would easily find themselves opposing God or abetting apostasy. To begin with, if one does not subscribe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, they will have nothing to do with this subject at hand because there would be no basis by which any meaningful discourse can rest upon.
But if we want to find out if he is a fraud as some are claiming, or a true servant of the Lord, we can only do so with the aid of scriptures. Let’s examine for example the standards used in the scriptures to test a prophet. Deuteronomy 18:20; “But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death. You may say to yourselves, ‘how can we when a message has been spoken by the Lord? If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, do not be afraid of him”.(New International Version)
The precise knowledge of the future according to this scripture, is a preserve of the Most High God, and only God can reveal detailed events to happen in the future to His servants. Therefore, if a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord and the events take place, then you need to pay heed lest you find yourself opposing the Holy Spirit.
In the book of 1 John 4:2 :“This is how you can recognise the Spirit of God; every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the anti-christ which you head is coming and even now is already in the world”. The authenticity of any ministry is tested by how they profess about who Jesus Christ is. From all accounts, TB Joshua proclaims Jesus Christ to have come in the flesh hence his motto “Emmanuel” which translates God with us. His messages and sermons lift Jesus as the Christ! And what more?
Signs and wonders are daily phenomena in his ministry, just the way it was as recorded in the book of Mark16:20: “then the disciples went and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by signs that accompanied it”.
TB Joshua’s humanitarian effort touches the needs of widows. The physically challenged and orphans have benefited in his educational support projects. Recently the federal President of Nigeria, Musa Yar’Adua, a Muslim himself awarded him with “Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic” in recognition of his humanitarian efforts. Anyone who is a true seeker of truth can know in the light of scriptures that for sure there is a prophet among us.
By BONIFACE MWANZA
He is a Prophet in the Deepest level of the office of a Prophet.
Thank you journalist Boniface Nwanza, for that Article. I pray everyday that The Lord God Almighty will open the eyes of many who still do not believe that TB Joshua is a Prophet in our midst-a wonderful gift to humankind from His Throne of Grace and Mercy. However, with the advent of Emmanuel TV, many have seen for themselves live episodes and are rushing to the Synagogue for “The Grace”. Thank you “The Man in the Synagogue”, thank you Emmanuel TV Crew, and God bless you..
TB Joshua is the real man of God, no doubt about that. If I can only get to meet him I would ask him to give me what he has, like Elisha did
May God bless you for this great revelation and I pray that God will open the eyes and ears of those who are refusing to see or hear who a true Prophet is. but for me and my household we shall follow the God of T.B.Joshua and observe to his prophecies and messages, May God bless T.B. Joshua. his family. the Wise men and the entire family of SCOAN. Emmanuel.
Glory be to the Almighty God,it is written in(LUKE 6:43-45″No good tree bears bad fruit,nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.Each tree is recognized by its own fruit.People do not pick figs from thornbushes,or grapes from briers.The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart,and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart.For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.Be blessed our Anointed Man of GOD Prophet TB Joshua,in Jesus’ Name.Amen

Boniface, thank you for your concise and in-depth presentation which answers it all. Any thing good in African sense will draw criticism and condemnation especially if it is beyond ordinary comprehension .
T.B has been a blessing to so many people who continue to attest to his true son ship of God possessed with anointing God
GOD INCREASE THE PROPHET FOR HIS AVAILABILITY.WHEN IS HE
Boniface Mwanza, great message put across for all the non-believers to finally start believing that Prophet TB Josua is indeed a Man of God, sent by God to serve humanity form all manner of ills and afflictions.
We are praying for all the men of God. Christ is soon to return so let’s keep Prophet TB Joshua and the Wisemen in prayer.
Amen do not judge the bible says TB Joshua is a true prophet we see for our self on emanuel tv may the good LORD be praised
Thanks Boniface, it really baffles me that d most criticism is emanating 4rm d pulpit, well should we say more the prophet has said that all these are tonic to his annointing. Thank you Prophet T B Joshua for being God’s most useful vessel in our generation.
Boniface, i would like to thank the holy spirit for writing the truth of the man of God Prophet T B Joshua. The world should now tha t God has given us the true prophet among us, as Jesus loves his people and he cares for us. What anyone speak any evil about man of God, this things happened to my master Jesus read John 18 vs 19 – 20, I have spoken opnely to the world, Jesus replied. I always taught in synagogue or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surly they know what i said. So those say bad about the prophet T B Joshua let me tell you Your friends did to my master Jesus even killing him but they proved to be failures they came to say JESUS is the son of God. My fellow African we must thank God for giving us T B Joshua an African being in our continent lets be proud of what God has lifed Africa, lets Love, Support and pray for our prophet T B Joshua the only senior prophet in the whole world. THANK YOU JESUS FOR BLESSING THE WORLD WITH PROPHET T.B. JOSHUA AMENE
Thank you my brother for the article. I hope this will shame those who talk ill of our prophet. I think its KALIJO and nothing else. God has blessed us with Prophets like TB Joshua and some people have failed to accept, just like in the old times, when people rejected our Lord Jesus only to realise after his death. They did question every move he took just like they question the man of God T.B Joshua. Long live T.B Joshua and may God grant him more blessings AND ANNOINTING this 2012.
Happy 2012 to all Emmanuel TV viewers!
Emmanuel! Thanks be to God who has blessed the world with Prophet T.B Joshua.The world at large are so blessed.In our situation at hand,if not his message of encouragment he has been prophecying to us,i don’t know how our life would be.We are so safe in God’s hand,indeed 2012 THE YEAR OF COMEBACK TO WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH.GLORY BE TO GOD.EMMANUEL!!!!!!!
I am blessed, thank you prophet T.B.Joshua, pray for our natoin Malawi.
pio.
No matter what people may say i stay rigid that Prophet T B JOSHUA is a man of God , I ccanot forget what I have gone through before knowing Emmanuel TV talking of Spiritual Husband, nightmares, poverty just to mention a few , when i begin watching Emmanuel TV and laying my hand on the screen each time the Man of God is spraying here i am sleeping fleely, no nightmares, poverty is the talk of the past. People will talk but i shall stand film he really a man sent by God a prophet of our times, he is my mentor, he has opened my eyes to know the word of God more as i was just a church goer. May God Almighty through Jesus Christ guide him and protect him together with the wisemen i will continue praying for them .
This was long overdue, we needed something like this. those who have problems with how the Prophet operates must just live him alone. As for some of us, we have been blessed by his life. may he receive more anointing. god bless you for such a good piece of information Boniface
boniface thank you vry much for the article people of africa don’t appericiate there own brothers when they are doing somethng good.indeed glory be to GOD.
God has given us a Prophet, Let us just say thank you to our Lord for this Gift. Let us just ask God to Anoint him more!
Satan is blind folding people and want them to miss the goodness of God in the land of the living. TB Joshua He is a man of God and I have no doubt about that. The Holy Spirit connects automatically when you come across the woman or man of God but if there’s a foreign spirit the Holy Spirit would help you to sense that. When you are immersed in the Word of God and have a communion with God daily you will know how to identify His voice when he talks to you I am gracefully trying to tell the world that TB Joshua is the man of and I have no doubt about that I have never meet Him personally but I can feel the Holy Spirit whenever I am watching His sermons or when He is praying or even here on the blog and the word he says or prophesied it comes to pass. I really plead to God to those poor people that God should open their spiritual ears and eyes so that they would be able to hear from God and be edified, In Jesus Christ Name. Amen
yap my PROPHET i lve the way God uses u!

He is a true man of God! I have no doubt about it. May God continue using him so that we should all be served.
Glory to God who made it possible for Br.Boniface Mwanza to tell those who are still on doubting Thomas side the truth,I would lather believe like father Abraham did(father of many nations yet he had no child then).Its unfortunate the unbelief can even emanate from pulpits.People what else do we want to see in order to believe the work of God through prophet TB Joshua?? Lets open our eyes and now is the time to embrace the prophet in our midst and join hands as we shame the devil. Its only by resisting the devil that will make him flee from us.Dont allow your doubts to take you away from God instead pray that God helps you iron them out hence drawing closer to Him.2012 has been declared a year of come back to worshiping God in truth and in sprit,dont be left out.God bless TB Joshua,emmanuel TV and partners in Jesus name.
Emmanuel: God is indeed with us. TB Joshua you a prophet sent to preapre this world for the second coming of the Lord Jesus. Today we able to see Christ in action comfirming his word His word that He is the same yesterday today and forever. You are a indeed a Prophet among us.
am a Zambian and i have acknowledged the servant of the MOST HIGH GOD PROPHET TB Joshua.When am listening to his messages am always inspired because as he has always taught us that we should examine every word in the LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD.I personally believe he is a true FAITHFUL,OBEDIENT AND HUMBLE servant of the most HIGH GOD.My prayer is that he visit us(zambians) one day.May God keep you Prophet TB Joshua and your ministry together wth your family.
FROM COPPERBELT
Thank you Sir for letting those who doubt the gift that God has given T.B. Joshua no the truth now because really God works through this prophet his word are the truth and really helped us.
Dear Father thank You for Your love and grace for all humankind. The sheep knows His Shepherd and follow Him. By Your grace forgive all who is against the man of God and his ministry,i pray in the Name of Jesus. Amen. Saints world wide, dont fear God is in control and is busy reveal Himself to many who still don’t know Him. I love it to see many are waching the Emmanuel TV channel. “All things are working together for those who love God,who are called according to His divine purpose.”Remain bless brothers and sisters in Christ.
TB Joshua is truly a man of God, thanx Bon for this powerful article, just by watching his programes and listening to his sermons you can tell that this man is being used by the holy spirit we get blessed just by listening to his sermons its true distance is not barrier
Thank you Boniface for bringing up this topic whether or not prophet TB Joshua is a prophet of God. This controversy is not new: a lot has been said about prophet TB Joshua both by clergy men and the like. Prophet TB Joshua has in fact stood the taste of time and is still going strong in the Lord. My take on this one would be to say the wise will listen when the man of God speaks. Many call upon the name of God but only a few believe in Him. Thank you!
No matter who you are, what you do, and how you help people must talk. But God in heaven see the true believers and know his servant. Upon what they are saying about Man of God, Prophet TB Joshua, see how God is blessing him, increasing him more and more, and blessing people through him. God will open there inner eyes to see, believe and join him to bless people physical and spiritually
BROTHER BONI. YOU WILL GO FAR. ONLY GOD COULD SHOW YOU THIS. WE ARE NOT MANY WHO KNOW THIS TRUTH. LET US PRAY FOR OTHERS TO SEE AND KNOW THIS.

Viva B. M! you have done us a blessed favor and may GOD reward your labor, I am proud of you,
I thank God for your life to have enlightened us on whether indeed we have a prophet among us and this has clearly shown that yes we do have a prophet.i have fought this issue way back from my university days on people potraying the man of God as a demon and still doing that.am pleased with this revealation.GOD BLESS U
Emmanuel,indeed God is with us all.Thank you for putting it clear brother that Prophet T B Joshua is a real prophet from GOD.No objections,let those who believe continue to believe and those who keep on writing and spread bad words about the prophet continue to do so.We are praying for them that one day will God open their eyes to see the truth and also for them to read God,s word and the Holy Spirit help them to understand it.I would like to tell the people in the world that instead of judging Prophet T.B Joshua and other men of God, it is better to be on our knees and pray,asking God to help us in all that is happening in this world such as political uprisings,conflicts,demonstrations,hunger,hiking prices of basics of life,HIV/AIDS and the like.It is God who has decided to locate and use him so do no envy him,it is better to learn from the teachings and you will be changed the way it has been to us. Prophet T.B Joshua is a TRUE PROPHET FROM GOD,please do not touch him as the Bible says touch not His anointed servants lest you invite the wrath of God in your life!!!!!! For me and my family we will continue to pray for the Prophet,his family,the wise men,scoan members,partners and the entire ministry and branches for more expansion.
May the Lord Almighty continue to use him more,pour unto him more anointing that breaks every yoke in this ending time and soften those unbelieving hearts.
Emmanuel.
TB JOSHUA you are a prophet sent by holy spirit to prepare this world for the second coming of Jesus and to break curses of disease and sickness from the peoples in the name of Jesus.Thanks to god,today we are able to see Christ in action conforming his word that he is the same yesterday today and forever.TB Joshua are indeed prophet among us.
Florence Ntepa
Thank God that has us to understand the mysteries.Continue reaching people with the word of hope. CHRIST IN US, THE HOPE OF GLORY
Thank you very much brother Boniface for this wonderful article. Myself I understood that in the things of God, it require his (God) will to acknowlege, see and to hear. To beleive what is happening in Scoan require faith and faith is what guarranteed our salvation. But we see great man of God denying the work of their master through his servant Prophet T.B.Joshua. Will really Jesus find faith in them when returning to fetch us?
My God bless us all
am are zambian ,indeed you are true man of God and Prophet from God . Those who are still double to believe in you and your ministry they are not yet born to the spirit forgive them.let God open there eye . infact am a changed person because of your teaching man of God TB JOSHUA, i praise Jesus for giving us such a prophet in this time. Glory to GOD. Send me Anointing water
People of God TB Joshua is a true man of God.This can be proved by the might wonderful work he is doing for the whole world.He doesnt choose or select anyone.His love is the same for every person.His loves comes from dip down his heart.Not all people can do what he is doing. He had committed his whole life unto God of which is not easy for some of us. Please lets stop despising this servant of God. Leave him to accomplish what God had sent him to do in this world.
Thank you Borniface for telling the world about the truth of the man of God TB JOSHUA. This is a true man of God. God has blessed us through his humble servant TB JOSHUA to truly know the word of God. The more you critisize the man of God (TB JOSHUA) the more God will lift him high. More anoithing is coming on TB Joshua in 2012. May God continue to bless you and your family. VIVA TB Joshua and the wisemen.
Why is it strange that the chosen/appointed men of God are questioned, for the Master himself said, ” and these signs shall follow them that believe”. In fact we are told that we will do mightier works as the sons of God. On the other hand those who speak against the man of God have missed the scripture in the book of 1 Chr.16:22 ” Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm.
You see the children of the devil are working hard to destroy the work of God, that is why journalists who belong to God should work harder to rescue God’s image. ” None of these things move us – we are labourers together with Christ and with TB Joshua on board we will reconcile this whole world to God!
Love from Namibia
Br. Boni, The very God of Prophet T. B. Joshua is the God you ready in the holy scriptures, the very God of Abraham, he, is the God of Elijah, He is the God of Jesus Christ. That very God, he will richky bless you with Long Life and Wisdom because you have chosen to Love Him by Suppporting the Truth of God.
For You i pray that the Lord may hear your every voice.
Stay blessed.
HE IS AN AWESOME MAN OF GOD. GOD WILL ALWAYS USE PEOPLE WHO WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES B4 HIM SO IT IS WITH TB JOSHUA. MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD CONTINUE BLESSING AND ANNOINTING HIM FOR HIS WONDERFUL POWER THAT HE HAS GIVEN HIM.
Brothers and sisters, God is alive in Emmanuel tv. T.B Joshua is a servant of God. Personally, l see him practising what he says. Thank you author for telling the world. I pray for the world to develop spiritual senses. T.B Joshua, God will annoint you more to plant Holy seeds in our souls. ‘May He water His word in my heart’. Emmanuel.
I praise GOD for giving us a real prophet, T.B.JOSUA. The scripture is showing us that he is. I pray GOD to give him more years to save the lost soul and to help the needy as he always does.
Thank you brother Borniface, this is timely and I pray to god that he may give you wisdom to continue publishing more articles especially prophies because you will help our leaders and the world at large to understand that this is truelly a man sent by god for our generation. i wish you can publish the messege of the 30th of October about the natural resouces and what needs to be done by the african leaders.
i go to a certain church where joshua is always mentioned in the negatives and this really hurts me, but what has began to shock me is that the membership is getting smaller and smaller every sunday, where are the sunday goers, are there in the house worshiping with with TBJ? Food for thought for fathers and pastors alike.
I am so proud of you as a Zambian Borniface, God bless you , God bless TBJ and his ministry.
I cant wait for his visit to Zambia, becuase God is alive on Emmanual TV. its time people began to do action and stop preaching without any signs. We need signs in this generation.
Praise The Living Jesus;
By all God’s standards Prophet TB Joshua he is from Him! I have confirmed through the Holy Spirit and the fruit of his work in the ministry. The secret behind his miraculous healing and prophesies I believe comes such to the anointed, humble and who love the needy like Jesus. The evidence of the first church so as it is today in SCOAN. it is real and truth and the way for the believers who worship in spirit and truth.
May God bless you for this great revelation and I pray that God will open the eyes and ears of those who are refusing to see or hear who a true Prophet is. but for me and my household we shall follow the God of T.B.Joshua and observe to his prophecies and messages, May God bless T.B. Joshua. his family. the Wise men and the entire family of SCOAN. Emmanuel. and
God has given us a Prophet, Let us just say thank you to our Lord for this Gift. Let us just ask God to Anoint him more!

INDEED THE SENIOR PROPHET T.B .JOSHUA IS THE GREATEST YET THE HUMBLEST PROPHET IN THE ORDER OF ELIJAH, ELISHA etc IN OUR GENERATION. THERE IS NO DENYING EVEN HERE IN ZAMBIA THAT-NO PROPHET HAS REACHED THE LEVEL OF SENIOR PROPHET T.B.JOSHUA OF THE SCOAN. THAT IS WHY ALL US CHRISTIANS WITH CHALLENGES LOOK FORWARD TO VISITING THE SCOAN FOR OUR FINAL HEALING AND DELIVERANCE
How do u judge him?to me he has the Spirit of God in him.Those who criticise him do so because they forget the fact that they ought not to remove the weed themselves but God who will do at the last day to preserve the wheat.The bottomline is every man of God must do according to his calling from God;not somebody’s work.I BELIEVE THIS MAN IS DOING WHAT HE BELIEVES GOD CALLED HIM TO DO.EVANGELIST PROSPER MIFETU,HO-GHANA
I am wondering to hear that still there are peoples who do not believe that he is a true prophet. It is important to prove things whether they are from God or not. But the question is how do we prove that? The only and the only way is through the word of God. From the word of God we can see and understand clearly that T.B JOSHUA is Gods phrophet . T.B. Joshua is surly a prophet among us. This is true. Man of God we love you so much. We are with you. Do what you are born to do. We all know from the word of God that the prophet will not get respect in his own people or country. Man of God you have a place in God and in our heart.We accepted that you are a real prophet among us.

who thought God will raise such a great man from such a humble beginning?..Indeed God’s ways are not our ways.As people in free
speech society we are not restricted speak our mind ,but les be careful
not to speak against God. If all that the Prophet is doing comes from satanic power then am afraid I do not know what God’s power can do.

I have been watching Emmanuel tv for…long time…and it has BLESSED…MY LIFE…AND DID…SO MANY MIRACLES…AND BREAKTHROUGHS have happened to me since i watched emmanuel tv!!!….AND IT LIFTED MY FAITH IN CHRIST!!!…WE LOVE U PROPHET JOSHUA!!!…AND THANK GOD FOR GIVING US U….IN OUR GENERATION!!!….THANK U JESUS!!!
As for me and my family, we chose to make the GOD of prophet TB Joshua our God and will worship Him as long as we live by the grace of the Almighty God. Man of God, you have made the right choice to serve your Lord and Master, Jesus Christ with the golden crown in your mind not allowing any carnal distractions. Stay focussed and pray for us as your pray for and forgive your enemies just as your master did even in death. Emmanuel!!!
Thank God that He is now using journalists to point out the truth because the people tasked to do so have failed Him. Temitobe B. Joshua is indeed a prophet sent by God to bring blessings, healing,salvation, faith, love, and indeed hope into this world. Boniface Mwanza has said all. I do not know why people are so keen to give the devil glory by attributing all miracles and wonders to him while wasting precious time worshipping a god who cannot perform a miracle. The God I know and Worship is a God of miracles and wonders. The God of TB Joshua. In Jesus’ Name.
when Jesus Christ was performing miracles no body believed that indeed he was the Messiah until he came back from the dead and he suffered persecutions throughout his ministry and it happened other servants of God so who is TB Joshua not to be persecuted? let him continue with his calling and it shall come to pass when people will believe that indeed he his a true servant of God.
people likes people who misbehave not God fearing people but for this we can receive punishment from God let us respect people whom God has called for the purples.
Prophet TB J is a real & true man of God to me i believed him & see him as the main Jesus Christ but Jesus has used our skin type to cover him self as us, but he is the one that do wounds the one in the Bible that we believed & learn about him the day will come we will met him in Heaven is that day that we will notes that he was the Christ Jesus that tune him self in to a human being like us that day will be too late for so many people i thank God almighty that me & my family are at the right place in Jesus name Amen prophet TB Joshua God richly blessed you & give you more power Emmanuel…. God is with us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let the blessings continue flowing on the pupit so that many will come in contact with God through this Man of God in True sence
TB joshua is true and appointed by God .its only the agents of the devil that obviously are on asignment to opose the power of God that say he is fack but anyone who know n believe in the resurected Christ , need not tot even debate who TB Joshua is.
prophet tb joshua is a real prophet and ever since i started attending the scoan service,my life has been transformed for better.
It is very sad to see that even though people do watcch emmanuel tv regulary yet they still have that spirit of doubt whether T B Joshua is a true prophet of GOD amongst us. It is my prayer that GOD will deliver them so that their spiritual eyes will see crearly.

Prophet TB Joshua is a man of God
Tuning on Emmanuel Tv channel, listening to his teachings. If possible watching the ‘LIVE’ service at SCOAN. Therefrom, have a glimpse on what the man himself is doing to the orphans, widows, widowers, the less privileged. Huh! Your heart will obviously tell you that T.B Joshua is a man of mission, ‘TO SAVE AND SERVE YOUR SOUL AND MY SOUL’. Personally T.B Joshua made me to know Jesus Christ as a very powerful weapon to fight evil spirits. For me, if l happen to meet any soul against this Man of God, l would just tune Emmanuel Tv channel and lock the person alone in the room and unlock after 30mins, definately l will get a testimony as to who T.B Joshua is. ‘DISTANCE IS NOT A BARRIER’. I will go to SCOAN this 2012 and give my testimony. My spirit is telling me, l am blessed and l know this is true. ‘BETTER IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH, THE BEST IS YET TO COME’. T.B Joshua is a living servant of God. Thank you Jesus Christ for being commander of my life through Emmanuel Tv. Emmanuel.
THANKS BE TO GOD FOR BRINGING PEOPLE LIKE BONIFACE MWANZA,TO TESTIFY TO THE GOOD WORKS THE LORD IS DOING THROUGH THE MAN OF GOD PROPHET TB JOSHUA.SATAN IS STILL USING PEOPLE TO SAY ALL KINDS OF THINGS AGAINS THE MAN OF GOD JUST TO WIND PEOPLE TO HIS SITE THEREFORE WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE BONIFACE MWANZA WHO CAN ENLIGHTEN PEOPLE ABOUT THIS MAN OF GOD.LONG LIVE PROPHET TB JOSHUA AND EMMANUEL TV.KEEP THE FIRE BURNING.
Thank you very much Brother Boniface Mwanza for the splendid job that you have done and I can assure you only God almighty will and can reward you. The man of God prophet T.B Joshua has really touched my life personally just by watching Emmanuel TV.
Brother Mwanza I agree with you TOTALLY that Prophet TB Joshua is a true man of God as you have detailed in your wonderful article above. My prayer, too is that God opens the eyes of all those who don’t believe because for me it simply means that they’ve never taken the time to watch or attend any of TB Joshua’s services. The same is true for all those who criticize the servant of God because my personal experience is that attending a service or watching Emmanuel TV is enough to change some ones life forever. So these people make conclusions from without. If they criticise the man of God let them come out and prophesy things that are beyond their borders and continents and deliver people from bondage.
I have watched Emmanuel TV for a period stretching over a year continually and I have come to the conclusion that the man, TB JOSHUA IS A MAN OF GOD because the things that happen in his church, only GOD ALMIGHTY THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH CAN DO. NO MAN NOT EVEN A WITCH OR A WIZARD can do the wonders and the prophesies that God almighty is doing through his humble servant.
Therefore my earnest advise to all those who don’t believe the man of God is that they should not rush to judging but take the time patiently to at least attend a service or watch Emmanuel TV via satellite or the Internet.
WE LOVE YOU PROPHET TB JOSHUA and MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND INCREASE YOU!

T.B Joshua is truelly a man of God. If God can give an unserious person like me a gift to predict some things to come how much more a person of TB Joshua who has spend his life in the church. FASTED for 40 days and 40 night, preached the gospel, in many place. The deciple goes round to preach and God confirmed their works with signs and wonder. GOD has confirmed tb joshua with signs and wonders. His history shows he is from birthroom slipers to foreign shoes. GOD bless TB Joshua and Emmanuel TV, God bless Nigeria, I love u TB Joshua.
ln every generation God reveals his Prophets to men who deligently seek him like the days of Elijah.Remmember that in the days of Elijah too there were Pastors,but the Bible says Elijah was different.So id Prophet T.B.Joshua of our time.Thank you Jesus for giving us another Elijah.
Thank you people of God.We thank GOD for our True Prophet.We ask God to forgive us for all the negative stories in JESUS Name we pray. Amen.We love you Prophet
Those who honour Gods prohets will be rewarded by the lord,may the lord reward you for honouring his prophet,TB. Joshua has not claimed to be aprophet but God is the one who made him one and we praise his holly name,My prayer is that leaders should be seeking aword of advice concerning their various countries from men of God like our beloved prophet.Look at acountry like Ghana ,the president is aprof and yet aservant to the most high God,their country is more settled as compared to many African countries,Brethren it is good to wait upon the Lord,he is faithfull and just.
The Almighty God has continued showing his mercy to humankind. It is so amazing that even in this generation He has given us a prophet like that of the old. Indeed. in the line of Abraham,Elijah,Elishah etc. This time around His has chosen a blackman for he jurges by heart and not coulor or greed. Our God is Mighty. Shame to those who have failed to recognise the man of God in the name of T B JOSHUA. Alas, satan the devil has blindfolded them. And they have commited blasphemy unfortunately there is no forgiveness for this type of sin, said our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Hell fire is waiting for them.
Prophet TB Joshua is a gift from God.
There is indeed a Prophet among us and his name is Prophet TB Joshua,if a person reads his/her bible they would be no doubts about it.We should just Glorify God for providing us with a Prophet who does signs and wonders as in the days of old,all we must know that Jesus is still alive He never said goodbye.

TBJoshua is a perfect man of God period. With all the prophecies and reconciations and assistance to the less previleges we should appreciate and applaud him for the job well done and still to be well done. I would like to assure people that we will never have such a man under this sun. He is gifted and has a good heart all what he says come to pass.
Those who have doubts should go to SCOAN and see with their own eyes. The place is wonderfull you get healed just by walking the church premises.

Prophet TB Joshua is truely a man of God and a powerful prophet admired by many,but instead of seeking wisdom they are busy jeolously attacking him.It’s because many pastors have taken preaching as a source of income or rather some kind of business where they compete for customers hence the jeolous they have for prophet TB Joshua who has the whole world following him.It’s a pity you cannot march him.TB Joshua you are one in a million,you are my role model and you have greatly changed my life.kaluwa,from zambia.
God bless you mr mwanzan for this true statement.
Indeed God has given to the world , a prophet -Prophet TB Joshua as a free gift at a time such as this one. I have been to scoan twice , i am emmanuel tv partner ,and my life is greatly changed everything is double double!! . I mean there is no way you can come in contact with this great and yet humble man of God and still remain the same. NEVER!!
My word to you all people of God- is to please partner with emmanuel tv so that through your love, the whole world can have an opportunity to see for themselves God s word working in the spirit, through this prophet among us, in Jesus name, and have personal conviction through watching this Holy Ghost channel, which means lives and the world will change for the better. Lets win souls for the lord.
KEEP WATCHING EMMANUEL TV!!
My dear Mwanza, you are a prophet also because, only Prophets speaks the truth. T.B Joshua is a man of God period. I want to tell you why T.B Joshua is receiving lots of criticism if only you will understand in the same way I do. Firstly, the Bible said, “There is no prophet left without honour except in his own country and among his own family.”. Secondly, because Prophet T.B Joshua is not a white man. Thirdly, many Ministries are out there to make money to bye Jet, establish University that are beyond the reach of even their members and to travel round the whole World. Therefore, the only thing they are and will continue to do is criticism to keep their members who are already bamboozled into submission.
T.B. Joshua, the more they criticize you and your Ministry, the more you wax strong. The Lord has already given you the power to overcome doubters ride on God is with you. Pray for me now and always. From Chief Ben O. Ebito
I like the prophet and the praise team.everybody at synagogue is wise
Those who engaged in buying jets, establishing universities and travelling round the whole world all in the name of Pastors, Prophets are to be questioned and not TB Joshua who saw the need to assist the less privilege and the need for salvation
This is in no way to equate Tb Joshua with the Lord JESUS CHRIST. GOD forbid! But it is interesting to note that the same people in the John 18:3 account are still at work. The chief priests and pharisees of our time are at work again. The truth is, the Lord JESUS CHRIST has proven the devil was a liar, is still a liar and will still remain a liar! Thank GOD for TB Joshua.
Allelluya, Prophet T. B. Joshua is a real man of God. He is God sent to rescue innocent souls from the evil one. His teachings have been a blessing to many of us. Me personally I do not have any doubt at all about him who he is, what people might think he is. I am praying that God can open many people’s eyes who do not believe he is a man of God, so that they can prosper from his teachings and concentrate on how we will make it to heaven one day. I really appreciate what you have said in this blog, because you said the truth about who he is. Me personally I say to our prophet keep up the good work of the Lord until He comes. My wish is to meet with you one day, by the grace of God I know it will happen. May God bless him the more and his family, for the good work of God. Let us keep praying for those who have eyes but they do not want to see the good things, and those who know the good things when they see them keep watching Emmanuel TV for the glory of God. May His name be lifted high. Amen.
No one will take it away from him.He is a Prophet of God amen
He was specially ordained by God for the blessings of man kind. My life and ministry has been affected possitively by the ministry of Prophet TB Joshua. I praise God for him and may God give him long life. Pastor Peter Israel Obaseki – Nigerian
He has been a bless to me as i watch and hear for his prophetic messages
He’s truly a man of God.
He is a prophet in our time.I thank God for giving us a prophet.
Thank you very much Boniface,God will truely bless you for what you have shared,am inspired by what you have done we have alot of jounalists but they report without quoting scriptures but only codemn but u r truely a journalist with a difference.T.b joshua is such a blessing and an example to many postors and people who teaches love,peace and sharing to those in need.I enjoy his preaching.
i thank each and every one of you in your efford to make the world know who a true servant of GOD is.Just as it was in the days of Jesus Christ our Saviour ,many people did not believe him talk less of his message ,how much more in this days of TB Joshua who even uses the name of the lord. We are bless in this generation to have a prophet like TB Joshua.And the amazing thing to me is to see how he changing lives of those who have loose hope and they thuoght, they do not belong to this world, but you see them put smiling faces again . What a man of GOD TB joshua
Prophet T B Joshua is a true prophet of God people must fear God. and let Him be the judge only.

TB Joshua is real and is my mentor. He is one of the chosen ones. People always want to live darkness thats why they say negative things about him. I pray for God to exalt me such level.
TB JOESHUA is a useless satanist how does he profesai in football? what does he got to do with football?
Lord have Mercy on you Sakala and forgive you for you don’t know what you are saying.
All i have to say is that we should be careful with what we say.

Amen to that Lodrick!!!
My Brethren,
The Bible permits us to test all spirits. For your life and anger of God try and test the spirit TB is using to do all these impossible miracles. It would help you to know him and God better. You may be heading to heil fire by what your using your mouth to say against an innocent prophet.
I have been to him and my conclusion is that he is a God sent prohpet. My prayer for him is that God should give him double portion of his anointing and give him more wise men and women in JESUS MIGHTY NANME.
ASK YOUR-SELF WHY IS HE GOING HIGHER AND HIGHER?
GOD OPEN YOUR EYES IN JESUS NAME. WELL EVEN OUR LORD JESUS WAS NEVER ACCEPTED AND BELIEVED IN HIS TIME BY HIS PEOPLE.
GOD BLESS YOU.
FRANK

This is amazing
Tb joshua is called by Jesus.
TB Joshua him self have told people not to worry that GOD will either disprove or improve him if he is not of GOD…..But every day GOD continues to increase and Improve him. What prove do we want.I think those who are against this Prophet of our time are agents of LUCIFER …Come to think of it , bcuz he’s from Africa not from the super nations of the world,,had it been that he was from US , Great Britain or EUrope or if he was a WHITE ,,,they wouldn’t have been much criticism,,,,,
This a real thing i have seen people if u are a real propheth of God people hate u says bad tings and even create bad stories about you,it was the same with Jesus they say he take out demons with belzabule they didnt see that God has sent them messaih press on the men of God no matter what they say we once has a prophet here in vaal Mangwenya God has bless us with this mother she was hated in her own church,community and by his own brothers saying things that she did not said or do, her own brothers because they were at same church they go to de church leaders and tell them that she is a satanist they betray her but she remain silent and said let God judge them she is now with the lord in heaven what i want to say is when a car is moving people start to talk move men of GOD may the goods lord protect you i wish u visit vaal one day somany evil is happenning there
Jesus is my sheephead!left me high.
Greeting reader, Yes thank God that human being are not almighty God, and also Almighty God never and He will never consult any body before do any thing in heaven and earth.
Why we never give thanks to almighty God for giving us men after His heart in Nigeria, we always want to do better than God or correcting God in all He does,
Now I am 50years old I never us as a black man giving thanks to God on behave the men of God round us in every side.
Now if God almighty give us in Nigeria a man like Prophet John the baptism we will not believe him but thanks God for the Holy Spirit who give and apoint whosoever He wish, pls my brethren let give thanks to God for Prophet T B Joshua and other men of God among us, Prophet TB Joshua is in deepest with others and we follow them.
Greeting you in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ the only son of God that gave Right and Power to all that believe in Him to become sons and daughters of God.
Pls why do we trouble ourselves over this man of God called Prophet TB Joshua. The world need to becareful about this Prophet, Do not stop those who want to come to SCOAN to see and receive healing from Prophet TB Joshua.
Pls let see the book of Matthew 3v1-17, This is Prophet John the Baptist`s ministry, we see 7 points that if one is not careful you will not believe that Prophet John the Baptist is from God.
1- This Prophet John never put on clothe. But clothed in camel hair.
2- This Prophet John never eat the same food, but his food was locusts and wild honey.
3- This Prophet John always Baptized any that comes t him.
4- This Prophet John always want people to confess their sins.
5- This Prophet John always by River Jordan doing all he was give to do.
6- This Prophet John has only one word that is Repent all what prophet John know is REPENT. FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT AND.
7- This Prophet John never used house for his ministry but prophet Jonn used wilderness as point of meet him. With all this reasons if Prophet John the Baptist come to the generation, do think this generation will believe him as a Prophet of God. Let be very careful about Prophet TB Joshua, let this Prophet do the work given to him by God, thanks and Regard. Yours in the service of God. Prophet TB Joshua is Prophet from God.
