Ace comedian, Ali Baba, has narrated an encounter he had
with Prophet T.B Joshua, the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All
Nations (SCOAN).
The controversial cleric died on Saturday night at 57.
In a lengthy Facebook post, Ali Baba admitted he was
sceptical about performing at Joshua’s 50th birthday.
He, however, revealed that Joshua instead impressed him with
hospitality and told him to draw near to God.
The late SCOAN founder also shocked Ali Baba several times
by reading the thoughts on his mind.
FULL POST:
When you turned 50, and your people said you wanted
comedians to come entertain your congregation, I was VERRRRRRY SCEPTICAL.
You said you wanted them to know that laughter helps to heal
the soul, just as a little red wine was good for the stomach.
@mcabbeydaprof and @lepaciousbose were the only ones who
agreed to come. Even these two, had reservations. Just like when we went to
entertain President Yaradua in Kastina, @lepaciousbose said, “Bros if you will
go, I will follow you.”
I remember during the performances when my colleagues were
done, and during my performance, I walked unto the Altar and picked an apple
and a banana… the whole congregation went silent. You later told me that you
watched all our performances from your office and cracked up at the look on the
faces of the congregation.
When we (Abbey and Bose) each had our private meetings with
you, you asked why I had not gone into church ministration. I replied that I
didn’t think I want to fast or intercede for anyone. And I said I have not been
a good boy.
You laughed and asked me, “Are you badder than King David
and Apostle Paul? Even if you are a killer God can use anyone.”
You then started telling me, what only I knew about my life.
Just as you were saying those things, I thought, this man may be fake, and you
said, “You may think I am fake, it’s ok. I can’t make you change your thinking.
That is you”
I froze.
Then you prayed and gave me a “thanks for coming”. I then
said thank you. And thought “I would share it 3 ways”. You did that mind
reading again. “That’s for you alone”.
You stopped at the door and went to a drawer to gift me a
Fisher Electronic Bible. “Always stay close to God and read his word every day.
You have a destiny for God”
In the last 8 years, you have consistently called to “My
brother, how are you? Draw nearer to God”. One time you asked, “What is holding
you up from God’s work?” And after my covid experience you called to prayed and
sent something “for phensic”. I told you the “phensic” made the prayer work
faster. You laughed.
You always joked that you were older than me by just 12
days, as I was born on June 24th…
Rest on Man of God.
