TB Joshua To Minister In South Africa

The founder and general overseer of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, has hinted that he will henceforth start the ministration of the gospel of Christ once in every month in the Republic of South Africa.

He said this in a live telecast during a Sunday church service attended by many Christians from all walks of life. The
service was also streamed on the internet (http://www.emmanuel.tv) and viewed by millions of distant followers worldwide.

"Those who are affected in one way or another and those who passed on to glory, their greatest desire is to see that the work of salvation they died and suffered for continues and to reach unreachable places. For that, what they are coming here for should be taken to meet them in their country. Once in a month, I will be travelling to South Africa to meet people from South Africa and other nations who find South Africa easier to visit, in memory of martyrs of faith," he stated.

"My ministration in South Africa will not be on Sunday so that people will have the opportunity to attend their respective churches. This kind of faith expressed by South Africans deserves this kind of blessing from God," TB Joshua explained.

"I have received so many emails full of preaching, teaching, and counseling. Thank you very much! I have been your pastor, preaching to you. Now, it is your turn that you are preaching to me. Thank you. It is your turn that you are giving back what you have received in terms of preaching, teaching and counseling. There is a time to give and a time to receive.

There is a time to laugh and a time to cry. There is a time to be born and a time to die. Thank you for understanding the time that I am in. South Africa, I mean, Southern Africa, I love you with the love of God. This is what our martyrs of faith have brought to us and I cannot afford to disobey because I want to be one in future," the Prophet announced.

It will be recalled that a guesthouse inside the premises of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations, located in the economic capital of Lagos, tragically collapsed on September 12 killing some church members, mostly international visitors from South Africa, leaving scores trapped in the debris. The cause of the tragedy is still being investigated. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan visited the collapsed guesthouse vowing to investigate the cause of the tragedy.

“My coming here is to express my personal condolences to Prophet Joshua, the Synagogue of All Nations and of course the bereaved families,”Jonathan said during the visit.

He said he would hold talks with the construction industry and state governors on how to prevent a repeat of the tragedy.

“We will work with the people to ensure that such an incident does not happen again,” he said. Jonathan said he deeply regretted that scores of South Africans had died in the tragedy, and that he had already expressed his sympathies with President Jacob Zuma.

Prophet TB Joshua also appealed to the affected countries not to allow the cordial relationship between them be marred as a result of the unfortunate disaster.

“This tragic event will not and must not be allowed to adversely affect or destroy the good relationship which has hitherto existed between us and our dear friends in nations across the world. On our part, we shall continue to pray for our countries and their citizens, particularly the relations of the affected ones for nothing makes us love a person as much as praying for them. There is no doubt that the rescue operation, medical treatment for survivors and other incidental matters came at a huge expense but this is immaterial compared to the lives affected by this tragic incident,” he stressed.
