The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Tuesday, said
the death of Prophet Temitope Joshua, should be a reminder of life after death
and salvation.
The late prophet was the founder of the Synagogue Church of
All Nations (SCOAN) and popularly known as T.B Joshua.
The Media Assistant to CAN President, Pastor Adebayo
Oladeji, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, urged
people to occupy themselves with causes that could earn them eternal life.
Oladeji, while expressing condolences over the demise of the
late televangelist; described his home calling as a reminder to all mortals
that there is a time for everything.
He reminded Nigerians that God created man for nothing other
than to worship Him, saying materialism and the quest for affluence seems to
preoccupy peoples’ time other than things of salvation.
“A time to be born and a time to die. That’s what the Bible
says.
“He has played his own role on this side of the Jordan and
he has relocated, we should therefore be conscious of the fact that death is
unavoidable. You can’t run away from it.
“When it is time, you go. The important thing is to sleep in
the Lord. Those who lived as Christians will reign with Christ and those who do
otherwise have to spend their eternity in the Lake of Fire.
“Our hearts go to the family and the church he left behind.
May God console and comfort them in this trying time,” he said.
The spokesman, who also condemned the spate of violence in
the country; tasked citizens to place national interest above personal and
ethnic interest for peace and development.
