There is a difference between Mr TB Joshua and
Prophet TB Joshua
The Synagogue Church of all Nations is neither
a Family Business nor a property that is subject to inheritance
The Prophet gave instructions which are to be
followed prayerfully
Glory to Our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ
whom according to His wisdom called home His Prophet to rest in His abode. May
His name be praised forevermore! Amen!
As faithful disciples at the SCOAN continue to
wait at the ‘upper room’ in prayers of faiths and the fullness of the Holy
Spirit for impartation, grace and strength in continuances of the move of God
at the SCOAN, this seemingly delay seems to be generating mixed feelings
amongst many who may have purported this to be a leadership crisis at the SCOAN.
Many expect that as it is done out there,
immediately, after the internment of the Prophet, a new leadership should have
been ceremoniously installed – someone who will take over the mantel of
leadership from Prophet TB Joshua.
This unconventional move by the SCOAN seems to
be generating rumours that are being spread by mischief-makers. Alleging that a
group of ‘powerful TB Joshua’s women’ at the SCOAN are against Evelyn Joshua
assuming the leadership role at the SCOAN.
Understandably, many may be sympathetic to the
wife of the Prophet, Evenly Joshua to assume the role of her late husband, but
it is important to know that this is not how things of the Spirit are done.
Does that mean Evelyn Joshua cannot take over
as the General overseer of the SCOAN? Far from it.
Evelyn Joshua is herself a disciple of Prophet
TB Joshua, she is qualified to take over from her late husband, just as every
other Prophet, Prophetess and Evangelist at the SCOAN are also qualified to
take over the leadership mantel of the Prophet.
If someone else is appointed as the new leader
does that mean she will just concede everything to them?
We must understand that the Prophet Wife,
Evelyn Joshua does not need to be the General oversee of the SCOAN to continue
to function as the Mother of all nations.
She is the wife of the Prophet and nobody can
take that away from her and she has a huge role to play in the management of
the affairs of the SCOAN and also sustaining the legacy of her husband.
However, she doesn’t have to be ceremoniously installed as the general overseer
of the SCOAN to play that role.
We also need to know that most of these
questions about succession have long been answered in the past by Prophet TB
Joshua. Remember that our God is not the author of confusion.
True followers of the Prophet should have known
by now what the Prophet stands is on the issue of succession and they should by
now be counselling the wife and the disciples accordingly if at all there is an
issue being generated about it.
Let’s take a look at the Prophet words in his
last interview. Remember that the words of a man in his last days hold huge
significance.
Prophet TB Joshua has always emphasised the
fact that his biological life is different from his Spiritual life. He will
always say there is a difference between Mr TB Joshua and Prophet TB Joshua.
When he was asked why much is not known about
his wife and family he said “…I would have loved my wife to be like me
but I cannot make her what I am; it is God. It is not possible for me to anoint
her, God is the one that anoints people. So, it is not possible for her to sit
here at the same time, this is not biological issue; it is an inheritance from
the saints, it is a partaker from the saints. Therefore, I should not use
anything in my biological life to stop my spiritual life.
I am a native of Arigidi Akoko but as for my
divine nature I am a partaker of the inheritance of the saints, therefore, it
is so difficult for me. This is an apostolic ministry. It is not a ministry you
read bible, go to theology school, you get it and you start preaching. No! It
is purely divine. So, it is so difficult for me to display my wife, she has to
be ready for God. As much as you are ready for God, God will display her.”
In the same interview, when the Prophet was
asked about the issue of succession, he said “This is where God comes in; it
is not a business venture. If it is God, then it is God and then it is true.
The issue of family should not come into the issue of the church – that is it;
it is undeserved grace. ”
I don’t think anybody loves TB Joshua’s
Biological daughters and wife, Evelyn Joshua more than Prophet TB Joshua.
The Prophet has continued to emphasise that the
Synagogue Church of all nations is neither a family business nor a property
that is subject to inheritance.
Therefore, don’t use SCOAN to compare other
Churches where the wife or the first son took over after the death of the
husband or father. After all, there are also other popular Churches out there,
which we don’t want to mention names where neither the wife nor family member
took over as the general overseer when the founder passed away.
Even in the same interview, the Prophet seems
to be suggesting that the Five Prophets and Prophetesses at the SCOAN right now
have taken over from him.
Saying “There
are five prophets and prophetesses; they are working. They have taken over from
me already. There is an American, a British, a French, and a Nigerian.”
I won’t miss words to say that anybody who is
trying to push Evelyn Joshua or any of the disciples to go against the will of
the Prophet does not mean well for the SCOAN. The Prophet has always warned us
to beware of good intentions people. We are not here to glorify men’s emotion
or sentiment but lay open to the divine will of God.
The SCOAN has said they are not dealing with
leadership issues and that there were instructions given to them by the
Prophet. I think our prayers now is for God to give them the grace to follow
that instruction and not fall prey to distractors and opinionists whose
intentions call to questions.
TB Joshua Lives On.
