The founder of the Synagogue Church of all
Nations, Prophet Temitope Joshua, has claimed that
he saw a vision of the incident that killed at least
115 persons in the church guesthouse. The victims,
mainly South Africans, died when a six-storey
guesthouse belonging to the church caved in on September 12.The embattled clergyman, who said he knew
something tragic was to befall his ministry,
noted that he prepared his parishioners on
how to handle the tragedy. In a statement posted on the SCOAN�s official
Facebook page, TB Joshua warned his critics
against accusing him of failing to foresee the
disaster that befell his ministry. "For those who are outside the Lord, they
would not know. When you are outside God,
you will not know what I am talking. When
you are outside the light, you cannot
understand what I am talking. "For the three weeks before the incident, if you
heard my message and sat down, you would
know I was giving you a vision and prophetic
word on how to handle the situation at hand.
Trials and tests are for our belief. I go by the
directives of God," TB Joshua claimed. Accusing his critics of being "used by Satan,"
the televangelist said they were just out to
"disturb" the faith of his local and international
members with "negative words." According to him, all the "Satanic agents"
criticising him over the circ*mstances
surrounding the incident, would soon "suffer
for it." Since none of his critics is unable to help him
raise the victims from death, TB Joshua argued
that they should stop rubbishing his ministry
or risk paying dearly for it. Those who could not stop what happened
(building collapse), he said, should be "careful
of their tongues" as "anybody can go for it. "I have been on this journey for 27 years. Do
you think God can close His eyes and rubbish
everything here? They are asking God to bring
more evidence of whether He is the one who
called me. Warn everyone to be very careful.
This issue at hand is a delicate issue. "People are using this to gain money and
friends. This is a warning. Whatever people
want to write let them write; they will be the
ones to read it. I said our God would get back
to them. He has started somewhere. He is
coming. If your brother is involved, unless he can resurrect the people who died, he will join
them. If you can resurrect the people who
died, you can go free. "The servants, the people who sent them; the
people who heard the stories all around and
those who want to use it for themselves and to
disturb my spirit, you may likely join them. Be
careful. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Let us be very careful with our tongues," he warned. Urging those questioning his calling not sway
his followers, he added that they should
extend love and affection to the victims and
relations of those involved in the tragedy. The prophet insisted that the 115 victims were
martyrs, adding that their relations would see
the continuation of the work of God "they died
and suffered for. "Your responsibility is to the victims and the
relations of the victims and martyrs of faith. If
you say you are born again, wherever the
victims and their relations are, wherever the
relations of the martyrs of faith are, look for
them. Let them know you are praying for them. What you eat; let them eat it. "What you wear; let them wear. What you have
on your table, let them have it on their tables,
too. Share what you have with them � your
love, prayer, affection and strength. Share it
with them at this time. This is what we call �born
again� � my pain is your pain. Your joy is my joy. "The multitude of people who claim to be with
T.B. Joshua in prayer � if the same people turn
to the families of the victims and martyrs of
faith, don�t you think life would be better for
them than before? Join them; look for them, as
many other things they are doing now," TB Joshua added. D—³—×—†—³—®———»'s CReeD
