The same people who followed Jesus, hailed him as the King of kings, healer, deliverer, saviour and restorer, were the ones who later rejected him and shouted "crucify him". Some even wondered why Jesus could not deliver himself when he was nailed on the cross.

But after the resurrection of Jesus, same people found it worthy to worship him. Today, same thing is repeating itself. Of all the evidence that is glaring for all of us to see, that Prophet TB Joshua is being used by God to save souls, some "Men of God" and "Christians" still claim the Prophet is fake, as a result of the collapse of a guest house inside the premises of SCOAN, a church founded by Prophet TB Joshua, where some people were injured and others lost their lives.

The cause of the collapse is still being investigated. According to an excerpt from the latest official statement issued by SCOAN, Prophet TB Joshua has this to say: “On Friday, September 12, 2014, at about 12:44pm, one of the buildings on The SCOAN property unexpectedly collapsed, tragically resulting in death and injury. Nigerians and citizens of other nations were affected. This incident was preceded by the appearance of a strange aircraft which flew very low over the building four times and then disappeared.

Since the day of this incident, The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, its members and partners, have worked in collaboration with the Nigerian, South African and other nations' authorities to ensure that survivors are rescued, attended to with the best medical treatment, cared for in the most humane and hospitable manner and reunited with their families, while those who passed on - martyrs of the Kingdom of God - are retrieved, identified and treated respectfully.”

As if this official statement from the SCOAN will set records straight, skeptics have argued that, if TB Joshua were a genuine Man of God he would have foreseen the danger and pray for God to avert it.

But remember what the Bible teaches us in John 16:33: Jesus Christ said to his disciples, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.”

This means, irrespective of who you are in Christ, you can still be tempted. Our Lord Jesus Christ was tempted, Job was tempted, and Abraham and many other people of God were tempted. And if God allows it to happen, He will surely see you through. If God does not allow the temptation, it will be far from you. We all face various kinds or forms of temptation.

Hence, we don't have to judge the genuineness of our brethren considering the afflictions they encounter or how successful they are in life. As Christians, we have to be circumspect not to judge others before the time. Instead, let us love our neighbours as ourselves, and pray for them always.

In the book of Proverbs 10:18-22 the bibles says, “He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth. The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

I pray that, God will strengthen Prophet TB Joshua so he could continue serving God.

God bless us all! Amen
