Jesus did not extort his followers for personal gains

The biblical story of Jesus Christ depicted selflessness and uncommon sacrifice from the beginning till the end.

Brethren!

It is a clear attestation of facts that Prophet T.B Joshua emulated the teachings and lifestyles of Jesus Christ until he breathed his last. Joshua was rejected, humiliated, betrayed and insulted by renowned preachers of the Gospel only in Nigeria. In other African countries and Europe, the Prophet was accorded maximum respect because he was doing the unimaginable on the altar and more importantly, on the streets – he committed all resources in his coffers to better humanity and vehemently refused to extort his followers. To this end, the lifestyle of Prophet T.B Joshua has continued to breed a backlog of spiritual threats in the circle of his critics even though he has transited to eternal glory. Remember, his church was (is) not recognized by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for reasons best known to the umbrella body of the believers of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in Nigeria.

I was not amazed by a recent documentary trended by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) featuring series of allegations levelled against T.B Joshua. One particular factor remains constant, these allegations are not new but on the whole, it calls for sober reflections inclusive of mind boggling posers:

Why is T.B Joshua often seen as a threat amongst the merchants of Christianity in Nigeria?

Are the fighters of T.B Joshua still fighting his ghosts even in death?

What are the sins of T.B Joshua that is still hunting his ghost?

Can we compare and contrast the lifestyle of Prophet Joshua to some General Overseers who are still living in Nigeria doing the contrary and at the same time remixing the gospel in furtherance of personal enterprise?

Who are the masquerades fighting in vain to dim the light of a true preacher of the word even in death?

Why are the so-called General Overseers finding it difficult to give back to the society they are exploiting yet continue to call T.B Joshua all sort of names?

The world can not be deceived into believing the cheap lies and childish propaganda targeted at Joshua. Moreover, he has done his part and at the appropriate time he was called by his creator to return home and rest. It is now a bigger task for his critics and detractors to prove their points by completely nailing him or asking God for forgiveness if at all the masterminds of these unfathomable allegations are willing to repent.

Until we meet on the resurrection morning, let it be stated clearly that Prophet T.B Joshua has set a pace in 21st century Christendom by living the faith instead of exploiting the believers who are yet to know their fate. The role he played through his exemplary outings of generosity thereby correcting the ills of the merchants of Christianity in Nigeria will continue to terrorize their merchandise and business conglomerates until thy kingdom come except they turn a new leaf by keeping sealed lips especially with intents of observing table manners in their bid to consolidate their exploits.

Sleep well Prophet TB Joshua, your type is rare!
