The founder of The Synagogue Church of all Nations, Temitope Joshua (popularly known as T.B. Joshua), has described the recent incident in his church as a hard time that cannot destroy him.
Writing on the church’s official Facebook page, Tuesday, Mr. Joshua said hard times should be counted as joy. “It is through hard times that you gain the necessary experience and maturity to handle whatever responsibility given you,” Mr. Joshua said.
“We are most likely to go astray from God and forget him when things are easy with us in the world because we often become proud and stupid with wealth and pleasure. “God visits His people with hard times that they may learn His way.
His ways, though hard to the ungodly men, are desirable and profitable because they lead us to safety unto eternal life,” Mr. Joshua added. A five-storey building inside the church’s premises at Ikotun, Lagos, collapsed last Friday as three additional floors were being added to the original two-storey structure.
As at noon, Wednesday, the death toll had risen to 70 dead and 131 rescued, according to the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA. Citing the Book of Chronicles in the Bible, Mr. Joshua said God allowed the enemy to overcome Israel so that they might learn the difference between serving God and serving the devil.
“If not for our hard times, we would not have sought the face of God. I mean, if not because of hard times, man by his wicked nature would not have sought the face of God,” Mr. Joshua said.
“This means, God sometimes uses hard times to draw us to Himself so that we can take our proper position and possession in Him.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

unbelievable!!!! so you pastors know that hard times and calamity are trials from Almighty God which He uses to test the believers whether they truly believe in Him. But whenever a man experience difficulty, you pastors will attribute it to Satan and ask 4 people to come for deliverance. Allah Akbar
ReplyDeleteShutup u fucking muslim fletch eaters
DeleteMy brother, u see our MOG? They decieve their followers with DIE! DIE!! DIE!!! & HOLY GHOST! FIREEEEE! to anyone stoping them from becoming BILL GATE or DANGOTE over night. After all this they demand for "quality offerings" for their god- whom they is not a POOR GOD, yet he collects from the VERY POOR.
DeleteHowever, their GULLIBLENESS is still preferable to Ur equally GULIBLE muslims brothers- whom their PREACHERS will direct to FIGHT and KILL for their ALLAH- whom yet they believed hehis "ALMIGHTY"
Therefore, I wonder which set of GULLIBLE followers U prefer?

It is well brethren. God the rightful judge has the final say over this issue. God let your will be done. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAll of u calling Allah names, behold your ends are near, just as it happened to Pharaoh of hold when Moses tried all he could to make him believe in Allah, we all know how he ended his term.
ReplyDeletePastor Joshua might have seen this coming but for some sacrificial purposes the MOG kept mute about it (God knows best).
Maggot do u have a different Moses somewhere? The biblical Moses never preached of allah to any one, muslims una wan start another round of lies.
DeleteThat's how you missed it! I nie understand that most of you don't understand what Islam denotes: Islam is simply the means to that end with Allah(God), Allah is n Arabic world which is better translated in English as God even as it's not even the best translation (you mayn't understand). From Adam (Peace Be Upon Him) to Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), the last of them with the last revelation (The Quran), are all Prophets and some are Messangers while some are just Prophets. Three were sent with Books: Moses (Musa) with The Law, Jesus (Isa) with The Bible, David(Daud) with Zabura (Song of David) and Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Them All) was sent lastly with the Hole Quran which I advise you go and get a copy of the English Translated one and you will not remain the same in ignorance about Islam!
DeletePeace Be unto you brother!!!
I think T.B joshua need deliverance now. Hw can he say it is hard time 4rm God afta mo dan 80 ppls died in his collapsed church. I can believe dis, so this 1 no be satan na hard time 4rm God! T.B shine ur eyes well well oo..dis miracle no be 4rm God oo na ritiualist.
ReplyDeletePastor u lie. Israel were only punished when there was disobedience in their part. And you saying God is testing you with the death if over 70 ppl i make bold to tell u, U LIE except you have something different in ur bible in James 3:13,17. After reading that I am sure ur preaching will change. And worse u try shifting blames to terrorist. Oga man og god, thus is the time for us to see ur fruit. Remember Christ said by their fruit you shall know them. Last time na chris and em wife dey fight over money venture. Now na case of illegal structure that has resulted in the death of over 70 lives. And no remose to accept blame like someone with a conscience.
ReplyDeleteThank you,,let the will of the almighty be done that's all,,
ReplyDeleteThis una,, words of judgement for prophet TB,,, lets be very careful for the words used on him,,
Be very careful you Allah or no Allah,, I don't know why you Muslims have so much interest in condemning Christians,, It shows you people are truly on a rung track,, because human who is doing good never watch back to judge others,, so I keep asking why and what you Muslims gain in criticising Christian faith,, are you people sick or is it devil that you guys are worshiping or what,, only killing killing killing is what I understand in Muslim man's heart,, ooooo God help us in the mist of this rung people oooh Muslim
D man needs to b arrested period. He killed pple for his gods.
ReplyDeleteOnly God knows those who serving Him in truthfulness and just , it's a lesson to a lesson to us all that God is near to us stop looking for what is not lost, for those that lost their lives I sympathise for them but oun ti oju wa ni oju ri
