PROPHET T.B JOSHUA; WHEN DOOM CAME KNOCKING

  His ways are not our ways acclaimed a verse in the Holy Bible in its reference to God almighty, another one said that he will use the foolish things of life to confound the wise, as a foolish man myself, I get confused more and more, each day, with the unfolding divine occurrences in our world. How better can one comprehend the fact that a pastor who sits in Nigeria and sees the calamities that would befall Malaysia and all the nooks and crannies of the world, long before it occurs, who has been alleged to have made prophetic proclamations that have all come to pass did not see that the next calamity was going to befall his Church guesthouse and kill his innocent church members.

  Well, no initial plan is affected by this unforeseen occurrence rather than the fact that it further buttresses the proof that accidents occur and that the only real prophecy is the one that God has willed to happen. One thing about T.B Joshua, the self acclaimed Prophet of God that I do not really appreciate is his constant use of fear to dominate his followers, prophecy is not all about calamities, bloodshed and evil, I have hardly seen him and most Nigerian self-styled Pastors come out to proclaim success, victory, peace ….. as they proclaim catastrophes. Which makes one begin to wonder if God is a catastrophic God, definitely not, the truth is that it is more beneficial to these so called men of God to spell doom in God´s name as a way of controlling the minds of their followers.

  Let us forget about all that for now and dwell on the collapsed building, which according to Prophet T.B Joshua in a security camera footage released by his church alleging a conspiracy theory and argues that a plane had continuously hovered above the building few minutes before it eventually collapsed, and as such argued that it was some form of terrorist attack that had eventually brought down the building. I think that this is only a form of omitting one´s responsibility; Doubting Thomases like us will still ask why he had not seen it coming as he normally saw every other thing before they happened? The truth is this, some illegalities were committed, a foundation initially made to carry a two story building was purported to have been transformed much later into a five story building with possibly substandard building materials which could not stand the shock wave of an overflying plane.

  I just hope that the Nigerian government, most of who are adept fans of these self-styled prophets of doom does not sweep this criminal case under the carpet and that a detailed investigation is carried out to ascertain the real cause of the collapse of the building that has so far seen 42 people dead. I smell involuntary manslaughter and crave for true justice on behalf of the dead persons.
