This post was sent to us a few years back, by a writer who had chosen to remain anonymous. He claimed to be a onetime sceptic of TB Joshua’s ministry due to what he was told by his pastor and heard from other ministers of the gospel in the past. He, however, came to the SCOAN to verify the truth for himself and the truth he seeks indeed set him free. *We did a little editing on the original article for clarity of reading and understanding.
Having visited the SCOAN to witness things for myself, I feel there’s a need to share my experience. My purpose for visiting was quite different from the lot of people I noticed who went there for healing, deliverance or whatever reasons might have taken them there. As for me, I went there to see first-hand, what sort of a demon TB Joshua was. My pastor and some guest pastors that ministered at our church always tell the congregation during their sermons that TB Joshua is a devil incarnate. He has horns, he is an apostle of Hades, the Anti-Christ prophesied in scripture and others.
The passion with which they always try to convince us was what spurred my decision to visit the church and see for myself. I fasted and prayed for days to fortify myself so as not to be bewitched by the alleged occultist powers TB Joshua used before, I headed for the SCOAN.
I will start with the healing I witness there.
Nevertheless, before falling head over heels for these miracles of Joshua, I ponder within myself what the source of his power was. The Bible warned us of the false prophet using counterfeit miracle, signs and wonders to deceive the people, even the elects the bible said are going to be victims of such deceit.
The healings that I saw taking place there, frankly, there is no normal person in this world that TB Joshua’s healing methods won’t first come as a shock to. With just a wave of his hands, people with different sickness and diseases kept falling to the ground like a pack of cards, in other instances, the movement of his eyes, head and legs made people move uncontrollably against their will to the ground or towards the direction he pointed. I couldn’t help but wonder if this could be God at work? I thought certainly not; there’s nowhere it is written in scripture that the apostles and prophets performed anything close to this. Oftentimes the scripture narrates Jesus using just a word to drive out demons, but here was a man making gestures with his body faculties in the process of delivering the demonized and healing the sick; there is no question as to whether the healings and deliverances take place, it is obvious that they do. Because any person he ministered to, at once profess instant relief and do what he/she couldn’t do before.
While he was busy ministering healing to the diverse illnesses, the most shocking experience for me was when he approached those with the deadly disease of HIV/Aids. Keeping in mind that HIV/Aids has no cure, I was expecting him to offer serious prayers over the HIV patients, but to my utmost surprise he just walked past them (not stopping for even a second) whilst stretching his microphone towards them in a wave and as he did that, they all fell to the ground as though they were struck by the sheer force of a wave. When he walked towards the end of the section they were arranged, he then spoke into his microphone saying: “you are all free”.
I was shivering. Because it goes against everything I was used to. I recall how my pastor used to proclaim a fast and pray for days over asthma and rheumatism, and here was HIV being dispelled in the twinkle of an eye. I couldn’t accept the ease with which he ministered healing and deliverance, or rather couldn’t comprehend it. I saw the joy emanating from those he had ministered to, their hope was restored, and I couldn’t help but wonder why my pastor, in whom I so much believed, said TB Joshua was a wizard clad in blazer suit, massively deceiving people.
I was however still very careful not to quickly conclude on Joshua’s genuineness. I resolved to pray within me. I still wanted to be sure that I’m not already under the influence of Joshua’s manipulation just because of the healings I have seen there. So, I continued with my intensive observation of the proceedings of his service.
I was taken in surprise by another scenario I observed. I noticed that after each miracle took place in TB Joshua’s church, unlike others who used to walk beside the beneficiary as praises were being sung, making them look like the healer, Joshua would walk right out of the scene of every miracle, so that he would not be seen around the beneficiaries. As the beneficiary shouts praises to God for their healings, Joshua will immediately continue with his ministration to others.
A proud man would never do this. In this regard, I gave TB Joshua a high scored. But the thought that keeps coming to my mind was the different ministers that insist that TB Joshua is a false prophet. How can so many ministers be wrong on a subject? They cannot be. Jesus said that where two or more agree, I am in their midst, and here we have well respected ‘men of God’ agreeing over the same matter.
How can God be using only one person to do such an astonishing miracle? There are countless preachers, apostles and prophets, but none of the minister in any way come close to TB Joshua. To be sure, I have seen people fall under the anointing in various churches, but the way it happens in TB Joshua’s church is shocking. Why are other pastors not doing the same works in the same manner? That got me thinking that TB Joshua must be using some means. I held strongly to my stands that this is still likely a fraud.
When it got to the time of prophecy, Joshua moved into the midst of the congregation and began telling them the root causes of their problems and proceeded to deliver them in the power of the Holy Spirit. This was the point I broke down in tears, I couldn’t handle it. The In-depth accuracy of his prophecies was a shocker in themselves, but even more, was how his prophetic messages always pointed people to the root cause of their problem. It was far from the sweet-sounding prophetic declarations I have been used to that usually are not profitable for turning anyone away from sin but are always geared towards what our itching ears want to hear, like imaginary enemies after our progress.
Even after those encounters at The SCOAN, it took me days of prayers and careful study of the scriptures for me to fully convinces myself that TB Joshua was indeed God sent. Besides, it was as though God was speaking to me through everything I witnessed there. After a deep reflection, I realized that only one man cannot just be the devil. There are many false prophets and pastors out there which nobody is talking about, but why the so much focus and energy on Joshua. I concluded that there must be something special about him that the kingdom of darkness is afraid of.
I realized of course that Jealousy must have played a very big role by the rejection and accusations from fellow ministers of the gospel. Especially since they cannot do what God does through Joshua and it looks like Joshua is the only one who seems to be getting much of the world attention.
The Scripture makes us understand that God gives His grace in proportion to the faithfulness of His servants. They want to operate in the same supernatural level as TB Joshua. If I should ask them, do they show mercy and compassion as he does? Do they show love to even enemies as he does? Do they give or care for the needy and orphans as he does? They do not do all these things, they build mansions, buy private jets, acquired large estates thus, turning their back against the poor and yet, they desire a higher dimension of the supernatural grace of God in their life and Ministry.
You cannot be endowed with the riches of His miraculous grace to do signs and wonders when you desire to use them for material gain or wealth accumulation. The scripture told us that he that loves money is a servant of mammon, and mammon is the principality set over material gains and that is the god of them that love the world.
It is heart-breaking that because of the love for the world and money, men who supposed to uphold the gospel have instead continued to pervert it for personal gain and enrichment. The Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ that is of grace, love, salvation, sanctification, humility, charity, meekness, faithfully and all of God’s goodness, has been twisted to the gospel of worldly prosperity and financial gain.
THE MIGHTIEST PROPHET OF JEHOVAH YAHWEH is Dr.David E.Owuor who is the most POWERFUL AND MOST GLORIFIED AND MOST HOLY END TIME PROPHET WHO is preparing the way for the coming of the MESSIAH
He is the friend of God sent to prepare the bride of Christ for holy rapture – The two witnesses of REVELATION 11 are ministering as one man
and will head to Israel after the rapture to help the Jews
God does not think like a man or reasons as you do just be sensitive in the spirit to discern through the holy spirit. the reason you wanted to see something bad upon tb Joshua is because you heard from somewhere. So who is the false one from there? pray for God to reveal to you who a genuine man of God.
All you need is the Holy Spirit to discern the right spirit in Prophet TB Joshua; the end time prophet
Luck knowledge my people suffered all those people are haters. Pls leave JB JOSHUS alone only God that can Judge him to me he is a gifted to humanity from God almighty.
I believe in the God of TB Joshua, the reason some so called men of God persecute him is because of inferiority complex in them that doesn’t allow their own talent or gift from God manifest in their life for the benefit of the church, and until they repent and thank God for what he is doing, in the life of his servant, they can never be useful in the church of Christ. I have never been to TB Joshua’s church but I thank God for what he is doing in this our dispensation. My advice to the so called man of God persecuting this servant of God, is to pray unto God to raise more servant of God like him, so that Christianity will be a reality and not a mere religion that has no human benefit
Do not be deceived. We are in the end times when many false prophets will show up with wonders that cld even deceive the elect but God forbid.Read Mat 24: 11-12 Beware of false prophets

How true! The Man of God who is a clear example of what Christianity should be like.
What is,wrong with you ppl…if you are fake then not all are fake….let him be and you can’t be a judge…. If you hate him stay away from him….it’s you that are fake because you are nothing but children of satan
I belive with all my heart that TB Joshua is a true man of God, and would love to go to Nigeria to meet him one day. MAY
GOD CONTINUE TO RICHLY BLESS
JEALOUSY JEALOUSY ON THE PART OF THIS STUPID PERSON WHO WROTE THIS!!!!!! YOU CAN WRITE WHATEVER DRIVEL AND RUBBISH YOU LIKE ABOUT TB JOSHUA, YOU WILL NEVER BE LIKE HIM
Pastor Adegboye Christ Okotie and the likes,they are the one persecuting Tb joshua saying is not from God.But one thing they fail to understand,the more they talk about Tb joshua,the more his anointing grows.
U should compare the pattern of his activities Christ and d early then make ur conclusion. U
are carried away by
mere prophecy n healing. Even those pastors who criticize him must of them are by the life of the early Christians. We should try to go by what is in the book of acts. U cannot remain in synagogue and say are a Christian since there was no synagogue during d Christian era. Bro u are carried away by d things u c
Never test the spirit.. Nice story but all Glory to God.
Unfortunately, the writer went to T B Joshua’s place to observe and see for himself first hand,
How can you see, what cannot be observed?
God’s ways of doing things cannot be confirmed by observation, “That’s the deception right there and he fell for it”
“Talking about Jesus Christ, the bible said, for he shall not judge by the seeing of the eyes, or the hearing of the ears, but in true judgement shall he judge”
You now see, why they are all on live TV, to make you to make a permanent decision on temporary situation, “that is satanic strategy.
Beware!!!
I totally agree with Katai….the topic is very negative for an article that’s very positive. May God bless and keep gifting Prophet TB Joshua!
I totally agree with Katai…the topic sounds very negative for a very positive article. God bless TB Joshua.
I strongly believe that God exists and I every time sees that when watching the Emmanuel TV for the miracle work that He does for us through His servant TB Joshua. Amen
Instead of criticizing, personal experience is always the best advise.Those criticizing TB Joshua are driven by a spirit which obviously isn’t of God because the devil fights against anything that is of God.Let the world hate you it doesn’t matter as long as the almighty God recognizes and loves you.I miss the synagogue, anytime I return to Nigeria,i will go get revitalized God bless Tb Joshua.
Prophet T.B. Joshua is a real man of God. Those who call him names are either jealous of his gifts or ignorant.
In 2011 I became very sick, brain cancer and at the same time my son pipi i n bed. I decided to visit the SCOAN together with my son. I kept praying over it and in 2016 we visited SCOAN, a touch from the man of God Senior Prophet T B Joshua, my son and I got cured. No more headaches and rotten smell I perceived from my nose n mouth, my son never has pipi again at then he was 23 years. And financially some one took charge of thousand of dollars fees I use to pay at the university because I grew bankrupt. May Jehovah continue to bless the man of God in his humble endeavors. Senior Prophet TB Joshua from his preachings has taught me to be forgiving and loving. Emmanuel – God with us…..
Yes people are so heartless that’s y see will never see peace
Change the title, it is miss-leadind
Let’s look at it from another angle if TBJoshua is a fraudster I believe he should be duping people he purportedly healing of their finances and properties. Instead he still give out to those who received healings and even to the troubled world. What is then the ensence of using demonic power to empowered the poor and needy.
Bisola and her co travellers should go and use their genuine anointing to do greater things except if their only anointing is the one to destroy Prophet T B Joshua . God forbid.
You have taken your time to write all this, may I ask you what you have ever done to safe the world with in you life or it that you good in blackmailing men of God. Wait you will soon receive your reward.
His humility and always conveying glory unto Almighty God, I think is the main reason for all these glory upon him.
