A prayer for the sick catholic is a call for divine intervention. In sickness, Christians do not have anyone to turn to apart from Jesus Christ. He is the mighty healer who did it in the past and is still doing it today. As a christian, you should be verse with his wonderful healing miracles all through the New Testament. The scriptures say that when Jesus Christ was on Earth, there was no sickness that he could not heal. It is in this same light that the scriptures say that he is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). In other words, we’ll say that Jesus Christ has not changed. Although he is not physically present with us, he will always be with us in the spirit. And you can be sure that he is still performing the healing miracles just as he did in the past.
The Scriptures say that we are healed by his stripes (Isaiah 53:5). If we are healed by Jesus’s wounds, we can unarguably say that God’s will is to see us in good health. That’s why we should always feel free to reach out to God whenever we are experiencing poor health. If our creator did not keep back his only son from us, what more of mere healing. It is with Joy and happiness that God wants to heal you. He was to free you from that sickness you’ve been suffering from. It is time for you to experience the mighty healing hand of the Lord. He wants his glory to be manifested in your life through a healing miracle. God did not create man to suffer in sickness. It is because of our sinful nature that we are strike by sickness. But through Christ we are healed.

An anointed Prayer for the sick can restore their health given that by his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Sickness was not in God’s original plan for us. But it managed to make its way into our midst through the sin in the garden of Eden. Although we wronged God and took a body that is susceptible to sickness, he did not abandon us. He is willing and ready to heal and restore us anytime we fall sick. That’s why prophet Isaiah spoke under the influence of the Holy Spirit saying that God will heal the world through Jesus Christ. Sinned entered the world through one man, Adam and it was removed by one man, Jesus Christ. He is the mighty healer who healed all types of sicknesses during his days on Earth.
Jesus Christ went further to give sight to the blind, speech to the dumb, and walking strength to the lame. While physically on Earth, no sickness was more than him. He went as far as raising the dead. An anointed prayer for the sick today is one which holds to the fact that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). This is where your healing begins. The scriptures clearly reveal that Jesus Christ is the same today as he was in the past. Thus, it is without doubt that he is still walking the streets and healing the sick. In other words, we can present our sicknesses to him for healing as it was the case in the past. Unlike those who met him physically in the past, we can meet him today through an anointed prayer for the sick. All you need is faith.

James made an intense commitment to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Records hold that he preached with earnestness and authority that moved the hearts of his congregants to love him. James and his preaching approach were warmly received by his listeners.
Today, we can say without a doubt that James is one of the major preachers who influenced the growth of the gospel in America. He did this through his amazing sermons and writings. His books entitled “A faith to proclaim” and “Heralds of God” have brought a plus to the lives of tens of thousands of preachers. These books have greatly encouraged them to strive for greater effectiveness in preaching the Holy Gospel. James Stewart was born in the year 1893 to a renowned preacher in the YMCA movement. He happened to follow the footsteps of his father in preaching the gospel. Records hold that most of his preaching was carried out in Scotland and America. In addition, James served as a pastor of three Church of Scotland congregations. He joined the faculty of New College which was the Divinity School of the University of Edinburgh.
Billy Graham (1918 – 2018)
The chances are very high that you’ve heard Billy Graham preaching. He is one of the famous preachers of the 20th century who taught the scriptures with remarkable authority. Billy Graham turns to be one of the most popular televangelists that the world has ever known. Records hold that through the televising of mass crusades, he reached out to more persons than any other televangelist. Through his preaching, he became a national chaplain for Americans and world citizens at large. Billy’s preaching approach was quite simple and straightforward. Each time that he stepped out to preach, his message was directed to winning more souls for Jesus Christ. Graham’s work did draw hundreds of thousands to the true teachings of Christ. That’s why we can’t afford to omit him from the top position on our list.
Billy Graham counts himself among those who were heavily anointed and blessed by God with a long life. He exploited this long life in God’s service and went further to building a Christ-centered organization. This organization promotes and sponsors mass evangelistic crusades. In addition, they promote the gospel through movies, television channels, Christian books, social media, and radios. Records hold that Billy Graham stands as one of the gospel pillars in America. In addition, he also contributed much to the world in terms of extending the gospel. He preached across churches, trailer parks, cathedrals, and stadiums. Millions of people have listened to and appreciated his teachings. He went up to personally preaching to many presidents. Although a few found in him things worth criticizing, he was generally loved by the majority of his listeners.
Martin Luther King, Jr (1929 – 1968)
Almost all if not all Christians have heard the name, Martin Luther King. Might be we’ve over-limited ourselves by referring to only Christians. He’s also widely known among pagans and those of other regions. Martin Luther is the man who prophesied so many years ago that a black man will rule America. His prophecy came to pass when Barack Obama won the American elections of being a president. This brought back the name of Luther to the mouth of every folk. He was a highly anointed and gifted African-American preacher of the holy gospel. He was also a civil rights leader whose personal activism and appeals for justice helped in changing the course of American life. King was recognized as a recipient of the Noble Peace Prize due to his prophetic words and actions. Unfortunately, this great man of God was tragically assassinated in 1968.
It would be a mistake for us to omit Martin Luther from our list of famous preachers of the 20th century. He consecrated his life to God’s service even-though he had lots of opportunities to make a wealthy living. Luther was a man of great devotion, passion, humor. However, his humorous side seems to have been drowned by modern reporters of his adventures. Martin Luther King stands today as one who breathed life back into many preachers of the gospel. He acted as a motivator and comforter to many who were about to abandon their faith. Records hold that he brought back life to those parts of the church which were neglected and almost dead. With such accomplishments, we can only class him as one of the famous preachers of the 20th century. He revived the faith of many in his days.

He is an author of several books and articles which are all centered around Christ and the holy gospel. History recounts that pastor George delivered twice the prestigious Lyman Beecher Lectures on preaching at Yale. Everything on his preaching, he focused on uplifting Christ and his power to redeem the world through his death on the cross. George Buttrick was highly solicited during his lifetime. Three generations of preachers solicited him for his deep knowledge of the scriptures. His teachings greatly influenced all sorts of noble listeners. He brought the light of biblical understanding to the lives of many as God directed him. Most of his popular courses were centered around the outlining of sermons. He believed that the architecture of a sermon is worth your effort and perfection. George taught that a sermon should be orderly arranged in a pleasant and informative manner.
Harry Emerson Fosdick (1878 -1969)
It won’t be just for us to omit Harry Emerson from our list of famous preachers of the 20th century. His ministry coincided with the growth of the radio. This is what actually contributed to his national prominence. Harry Emerson worked as pastor of New York’s River Side Church. He was a minister to the Rockefellers and other prominent civic and business leaders. Many people perceived him as an advocate of social change. Highly loved by his generation as a knowledgeable preacher, he greatly influenced the way preaching is executed in America.
It’s almost impossible for us to talk about the pillars of the gospel in America without mentioning Harry Emerson. He consecrated his life in God’s service. Harry taught the gospel in a clear and understandable manner that many who listened to him were willing to come again and again. This is how he grew a large following. God was with him and blessed his activities. In short, we’ll say that he was gifted with the ability to unravel scriptural mysteries and make them understandable to his listeners. His teachings were centered around winning more souls for Christ through the announcement of the Holy Gospel. He focused on preaching while allowing the Holy Spirit to touch and change the hearts of the people. In this light, many were convicted of their sins and turned to God for mercy and salvation.
William Edwin Sangster (1900 – 1960)

That’s why we hereby class him among the famous preachers of the 20th century. William Edwin served as pastor for 16 years to London’s Westminster Central Hall. While in this Christian congregation, he preached weekly to about 3,000 congregants. History holds that during World War II, William had the largest Sunday-evening congregation. In addition, he opened a bomb shelter to welcome all those who were in need. William Edwin succeeded two famous preachers of the 20th century by names Leslie Weatherhead and Dinsdale T. Young. At some point in time, his ministry was concluded as head of the home mission department of the Methodist church.
Edwin Sangster came from a working family and was educated in London and Birmingham. Worth noting is that he served in the army during World War I. Before being appointed as pastor in 1939 to Westminster Central Hall, he had previously served several churches. He was a man of the people who was highly loved by his congregants. In addition to this, he was more of the faith practicing type. In other words, he loved teaching his congregants through actions. He centered most of his teachings on the hope that we have in Jesus Christ. In this light, he taught of the rewards that were reserved for those who will obey and follow God’s instructions.
Clarence Macartney (1879 – 1957)

Clarence happened to be a champion of theological orthodoxy. In addition, he stood in opposition to Fosdick’s liberalizing influence. He had a topical preaching style which was mostly biographical. He paid attention to the architecture of his sermons and carefully prepared them to be pleasant and informative. Clarence delivered his sermons with directness and confidence. His congregants credited him for the powerful imaginative illustrations he regularly used during sermons. He was highly committed to preaching without notes.
Clarence dedicated his life to God’s service and did not compromise his decision until the last day he had on Earth. He faithfully served God and men all through his life.

Did Dangote ever meet Benson Idahosa? This is the question we’ll be answering in this part of our writing. A few years after Dangote started his business lines, the Benin Airport was constructed. This turned out well for him as he regularly used it for his journeys to the Niger Delta. It was at this time that Benin which was formerly known as the City of Blood was under a great revival which was headed by a 39-year-old man known as Benson Idahosa. He was a Beni man who was established as a young Christian in the Assemblies of God. By then, he was operating as a pastor in the Church of God Mission. This was when he recently returned from a missionary school in America.
His missionary journey led him to establish strong links with a good number of popular pastors like Jim Bakker, T.L Osborn, and Gordon Lindsay. It was in 1962 that Tommy Lee Osborn who happened to be one of the greatest modern evangelists responded to Idahosa’s letter. This led to a stronger relationship between him and Idahosa. From then, he regularly visited Nigeria. It was either he was coming for a crusade or he was paying a visit to Idahosa’s Church. Records hold that most of these journeys were with his wife. And each time, Idahosa would lovely welcome and treat them well. Of the many visits they made to Nigeria, it was that in the late 1970s that caught our attention.

Dangote and Idahosa encounter
It is the journey in the late 1970s that leads to Dangote and Idahosa story. It happened that T.L and his wife Daisy Osborn had stayed late as they were ministering at the Miracle Center. This took place at the Church of God Mission which was situated just opposite the airport. This resulted in a late arrival at the airport to catch a flight for Lagos. This flight was supposed to be a connecting one from Johannesburg to France, England, and the United States of America. Upon arriving at the Airport with his guest, Idahosa was told that the last flight for the day was overbooked. In short, he was told that all the sits in the plane were occupied. By this time, all the travelers had boarded and were about to take off.
Idahosa upon noticing that the plane was directing itself towards the runway, took off with his new Mercedes and interrupted the movement as he waved at the pilot. This prompted the pilot to stop and attain to him. When the pilot came down from the plane and met him, he asked what the problem was. Idahosa said he had two important men of God who must travel to Lagos. The pilot told him that the plane was fully loaded and that there was no empty sit. Idahosa told the pilot not to worry but to simply let him on board. He further added that almost everyone in the plane knows him as they watched “Redemption Hour”. This was Idahosa’s TV program. The Blessing Hour which answers the question “Did Dangote ever meet Benson Idahosa”
The Blessing Hour which answers the question “Did Dangote ever meet Benson Idahosa”
God touched the pilot’s heart and he led Idahosa on board. His presence on board was not appreciated by all given that many perceived his action as time-consuming. He addressed the travelers telling then that there were two important men of God in his vehicle who must travel by plane to Lagos. He called on two volunteers to give their sits to the servants of God. And Upon saying these words, he waited for a while but no one showed up. Some were pretending to be sleeping. Others simply ignored him while others seemed to be seriously praying. However, a young man woke up and Idohasa pointed at him directly with a heart full of joy and happiness. It was in this same way that the person close to the man was asked by Idahosa to travel the next day.
Both gathered their belongings and came towards Idahosa who was not far from the entrance. As they arrived, Idahosa asked the first for his name and occupation. He said that his names were Aliko Dangote and he was a businessman. And that the person next to him was his assistant. Idahosa upon hearing this called down God’s blessings to the name Aliko Dangote and all his business activities. He prophesied success and breakthrough to his business. To be precise, he told the young man that the world will celebrate him. He further pointed out that so long as the sun shines, Aliko Dangote’s businesses would continuously grow in tremendous success as they cut across different countries and continents. After this, he asked God to bless the rest of the passengers for their time and patience. And behold, both of his guests traveled that day.
Idahosa’s prophecies on Dangote have been fulfilled
Today, Aliko Dangote is a Nigerian Billionaire who does not suffer from lack. In short, he has reached financial freedom. Many who started a business before him haven’t reached half of his net worth.

Pastor David Ibiyeomie Biography
There is quite much to say about Pastor David Ibiyeomie Biography. However, this is not a call for you to worry about. You can be certain that we’ll provide you with all that you need to know about this pastor. He was born as David Ibiyeomie in Bonny Island, Rivers State, Nigeria. For those who are not aware, Nigeria is one of the English speaking African countries. He was given birth on the 21st of October 1962. His parents were natives of Bolo Town in Ogu local government area, Rivers State. It was in Banham Primary School Port-Hacourt situated in the Rivers State that Ibiyeomie carried out his primary education. Records hold that he worked hard and graduated from this primary school with pretty nice results. Impressed with his results, his parents registered him at the Government Comprehensive Secondary School, Borikiri, Rivers State.
Even while in secondary school, David continued with a hard-working spirit. Thanks to his hard work, he graduated from secondary school with amazing grades. This gave his parents hope who did not hesitate to register him to study microbiology at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port-Harcourt. This was in the year 1980. While at the university, he did not disappoint his parents with failure. Records hold that through hard work, his performance was quite good. He continued in the light of working hard till the day he graduated with amazing results.
How he was born again into the body of Christ
It was back in 1995 that David ibiyeomie surrounded his life to God. His dedication to God made him a spiritual protege of Bishop David Oyedepo, founder and general overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide. Oyedepo’s ministry is also known as the Winner’s chapel. His calling to become a pastor came not long after his rebirth. After completing his microbiology studies in the university, he enrolled in the Bible School Training at Bishop Oyedepo’s Word of Faith Bible Institute. This is the Bible Training branch of the Living Faith Church Worldwide. After graduating from this Bible School, he started a house fellowship with his family. This took place at 1689, Buraimo Kenku Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.
Pastor David Ibiyeomie Ministry
Upon graduating from the Bible school, David Ibiyeomie sorts the blessings of his spiritual father and mentor, Bishop David Oyedepo to go and execute the mandate which was given to him by God. His spiritual father did not only bless him but gave him permission to go and start his own divine project. This is what led to the birth of the Salvation Ministries also popularly known as the Glorious Chapel. This took place on the 13th of April 1997 with an average of 20 members at plot 17 Birabi Street, G.R.A Phase 2 Port Harcourt. God being with him made everything possible to expand the gospel. It is within these blessings from God that he moved from a couple of congregants to a number that his initial church land could no longer hold.
The church’s exponential growth was a clear call for relocation. This is what led him to relocate from Plot 17 to plot 35 Birabi Street, G.R.A Phase 2 Port Harcourt. The church’s relocation took place in the year 1999. Currently, 5 services are held on Sundays. This is in order to give a chance to its numerous congregants to worship. Unfortunately, the 5 services which are carried out every Sunday can’t still meet up with the numerous congregants. We regularly realize that in each of the 5 services, the main church’s auditorium is filled to capacity and even the overflows seem not to provide enough space for the additional people who want to partake in the church service.
Satellite Churches
As a result of intensive overflow for every service, the ministry decided to establish satellite churches in 2011. Records hold that 14 satellite churches for streaming live services were inaugurated on the same day. Worth noting here is that the phenomena of satellite church was a groundbreaking one. All the 14 satellite churches were set to stream live messages from the headquarters of the Glorious Chapel in G.R.A. Recent researches revealed that the church currently hosts about 50,000 congregants in a single service. This number turns to be in an exponential rise and it won’t be strange for us to hear in a nearby future that Ibiyeomie has the most populated church in Nigeria and in Africa at large. As of the time of writing, pastor Ibiyeomie is building one of the largest church auditoria in the world. This is done at Igwrua, Ikwerre, River States, Nigeria.
Chokmah International Academy
Chokmah International Academy is a primary and secondary school which is owned by the Salvation Ministries. It is highly equipped with modern teaching facilities and can stand the test of time. This primary and secondary school can rival most foreign schools which are operated in Nigeria. Pastor Ibiyeomie believes in the value of a high-quality education which is aimed at training spiritual warriors and good citizens. He also has plans to start Pace-setters University.
Hour of Salvation
The Hour Of Salvation is the television ministry of pastor Ibiyeomie. It was started back in 2001 to play the role of a good reporter. It started with just the NTA Channel 10.

His ministry is globally known as Christ Embassy. It initially had headquarters in his home country precisely at Lagos, Nigeria. However, it is no longer the case today as he relocated his ministry to Johannesburg, South Africa. His ministry is more of a wide and international type. By this, we mean to say that it is not limited in one country. It has branches in several parts of the country. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Ministry includes a Healing School. It also has a global daily devotional which is popularly known as “Rhapsody of Realities“.
Still on Pastor Chris Oyakhilome biography, history holds that he was born into the family of Tim Oyakhilome. He was born and raised in Edo State, Nigeria. For those who might not know, Nigeria is one of the African Countries. Chris happens to be the eldest son of his parents. Highly loved by his parents, he was educated to the highest level. When he reached the age for studies, his father registered him in one of the primary schools in Nigeria. He successfully went through this school with good results. This encouraged his father to register him in a secondary school. Chris continued in the same spirit of hard work until he graduated with good grades. This brought joy to his family members who decided to send him to the Ambrose Ali University. This university is situated in Ekpomo, Edo State, Nigeria. Today, Chris holds a PhD.
Some of his Family members
Chris has a junior brother who is also a famous preacher of the gospel. His names are pastor Ken Oyakhilome. He is an active member of the Believer’s Love World Incorporated. He was formerly the pastor of the South African branch of Christ Embassy. But when his senior brother relocated from Nigeria to South Africa, he moved to overseer the church’s branch in Texas.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Ministry
There is really much to say about Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Ministry. Records hold that Chris started his ministry back in the days when he was studying at Ambrose Ali University in Ekpomo, Edo State, Nigeria. During startup, his ministry was Believer’s Loveworld Fellowship. It is later that he reviewed and updated the ministry’s name to Believer’s Loverworld Incorporated. God being with him from the beginning, he was able to move from a few congregants to thousands in a twinkle of an eye. Today, he counts millions of congregants around the world. An eye without faith in Jesus Christ would perceive controversies in the miracles performed by Chris. However, this is not the case with us as we believe that Jesus Christ is still the same (Hebrews 13:8).
It is in this light that we’ll say here that God has been using Pastor Chris to change the lives of many. In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Ghost, Chris has been curing sicknesses which are more than doctors and science in general. In addition, he does many other things of the spirit like deliverance, healing, and blessing. An example of such is HIV/AIDS. However, such miracles and wonders have called lots of critics unto his ministry.These critics are come from people whose faith can’t permit them to believe that we are serving a Living God to whom nothing is impossible.
The case against the pastor’s ministry
Following a complain which was fired by the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) in 2011, the South African’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned Christ Embassy from airing claims of faith healing. In their report, TAC claimed that Christ Embassy was using the television to spread false claims that they could heal diseases which were more than doctors like HIV/AIDS. They further supported their report with the evidence of a woman who died upon stopping he drugs against an extreme variant of drug-resistant TB after she was convinced by Christ embassy of being healed. The further added that this woman also contaminated her own children before she died.
Extra accomplishments of the preacher
Chris is a prolific author with a formidable sales machine. A significant part of his fortune comes from book sales. His formidable sales machine at hand gives him more chances of making greater sales that those who do not have. Apart from being a preacher, he is highly credited for his inspirational and motivational writings. Today, he owns several books and inspirational messages in the form of audio DVDs and CDs. These items are on sale and they really boost his income. As of the time of writing, reports hold that he is the most followed African Personality on Twitter.

And for sure he needs a means of transportation in as much as you and me.That’s why you should not be surprise to hear about pastor Chris Oyakhilome cars. For sure he has a good number of cars. Records hold that these cars are quite expensive and that he has about 30 Jeeps. The pastor is quite generous in terms of car giving.

It was in 2006 that his first private jet came while the second followed in 2017 as a gift from his church’s department of music and art. This was their way of thanking him for having been with them as a father all through the years.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Net Worth

Prophet TB Joshua is a worldwide renowned Nigerian televangelist and pastor. He is the Founder, General Overseer, and Senior Pastor of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN). Being a prophet of the most high God, he is solicited from all over the world. The anointing in his life through Jesus Christ brings wonders and miracles on the scene. Through the name of Jesus Christ, he restores the sight of the blind and opens the ears of the deaf. He also restores speech to the dumb and strengthens the lame to walk. In addition to this, he carries out deliverance sessions whereby he sets free all those whom Satan holds captive. God uses him to bring healing to sicknesses which are more than doctors. Through the name of Jesus Christ, he has cleaned many of incurable diseases such as HIV/AIDS.
Records hold that Prophet TB Joshua is the most hated and persecuted man of God in his home country Nigeria. You might be expecting to hear that his persecutors are more of pagans than Christians. But we’ll surprise you by saying that the greatest persecutions of this man of God are from the so-called Nigerian Christians. You might ask why Christians would turn to persecute their own brother? To answer this question we’ll start by pointing out the fact that there are people who call themselves Christians while there are others whom God calls Christians. In other words, there are Christians whom Jesus Christ has approved and those who have approved themselves all alone. It’s not by believing or saying that you are a Christian that makes you a Christian. That’s why we’ll classify most of Prophet TB Joshua persecutors in the list of pagans.
Prophet TB Joshua Walking in the power of the Holy Ghost
The Power of the Holy Ghost is the main reason why Prophet Temitope Joshua is the most persecuted pastor in Nigeria. The Anointing in his life is too much. Although he does not boast because of his humble nature, I’ll say here that I haven’t seen a Nigerian pastor or prophet with his kind of Anointing. The truth is that his anointing is too much. His fellow pastor colleagues can’t afford to see him do things they can’t do. That’s why they are left with only one choice, which is to associate Joshua’s works to Satan. They do this in order to discourage people from reaching out to Joshua and receiving their genuine miracles, and blessings from God. Some do so because they can’t afford to lose their church members.
Whatever the case, one thing is sure, whoever attributes the works of the Holy Spirit to Satan would never be forgiven. These are not my words but Jesus’s. If you doubt me, simply open your Bible to Luke 12:10. The verse clearly points out that it is better to insult Jesus Christ than to say evil against the Holy Ghost which is the Spirit of the Father. You might ask yourself what prompted Jesus Christ to say this? It was the very thing that many are doing to Prophet TB Joshua today. History holds it that Jesus Christ drove a demon and the unbelieving pharisees openly said he was using Satan’s power to drive demons. And Jesus upon hearing this clearly told them that they would never be forgiven for saying evil against the Holy Ghost.
Reasons why Prophet TB Joshua is the most persecuted pastor in Nigeria.
Today, pagan-Christians are committing the same mistake which Jesus Christ warned the Pharisees against. They are attributing the works of the Holy Spirit in the life of TB Joshua to Satan. A word to a wise is sufficient. Jesus Christ said that those who do such things would never be forgiven. That’s why you should not be quick in saying that people are using Satan’s power to perform miracles (Luke 12:10). Unfortunately, the same people who read and teach these words to others do not understand it themselves. These people are too blind as the scriptures say. They think that they are teachers to those who are ignorant and leaders to the blind. But they themselves are not different from these people.
We should not condemn a teacher of the gospel because of our certificates in theology. The scriptures say that God will hide his knowledge from those who think they are wise and reveal it to the foolish. Neither should we condemn a teacher of the gospel because he can do things in the spirit which we with PhDs in theology can’t. Prophet TB Joshua does not have a degree or PhD in theology but he walks in the dimensions of God. And this is where the problem lays. Other pastors with degrees and PhDs who can’t do the things he does believe that he is from Satan. And this is the message they preach to their congregants. Haven’t you read the scriptures that say when Jesus Christ resurrected and went up to heaven, he distributed gifts to mankind? (Ephesians 4).
Let no one try to stop he whom God has anointed
“Touch not the least of my anointed and do my prophets no harm” are the words of the Most High (Psalms 105:15). Worth noting is that there has never been a school for the prophets from the beginning of time. For sure, there was a school to trains priests on God’s laws. God randomly picked his mouthpieces from different tribes. And so, who are you to stand against one whom God has chosen and anointed? Temitope Joshua is a prophet who was destined from birth to serve in the presence of God. He did not choose or call himself to be a teacher of the gospel that you need to certify him. God did the certification. Genuine prophets of God do not choose themselves but God chooses, prepares, and releases them. Hence, no human power is needed for one to become a prophet.
This is clearly revealed in Ephesians 4:11. It says that when Jesus Christ resurrected and moved up to heaven, he distributed gifts to mankind. He anointed some Prophets, others Apostles, others Evangelists, others Pastors, and others teachers. Note that it is not your approval that makes a person anointed or called. What matters is God’s approval. And once God has approved, you’ll be putting your life at risk of death to stand on the way. But does this mean that we should welcome anyone who comes in the name of the Lord? No, this is not what we are saying. Let’s read from 1 John 4:1 and 1 Thessalonians 5:21. Both verses which were written by the immediate Apostles of Jesus are sharing the same point of view. The Apostles call on us not to despise spirits or teachings but to first put them to test before believing it.
Miracles and wonders performed by Prophet Temitope Balogun in the name of Jesus Christ
Today, Prophet TB Joshua stands on a list of an uncountable number of miracles he has performed in the name of Jesus Christ. This is certainly the reason why he is hated by his fellow pastors who can’t do the same. His ministry believes in the scripture that says “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). And because Jesus Christ is the same today as he was in the past, he is still doing the things he used to do. With this in mind, you just need to figure out anything Jesus did in the past to understand that it can still be done today. History and Faith hold that in the past, Jesus Christ opened the eyes of the blind, straightened the lame to walk, opened the ears of the deaf. In addition, he loosed the tongue of the dumb to speak.
Given that Jesus Christ has not changed, he is still doing all these things. That’s why before his physical departure from Earth, he left a message in John 14:12. It says “Anyone who believes in me will do all that I have done and even greater things” Prophet TB Joshua has never claimed or boasted of the miracles he does. He always attributes them to God’s grace in his life. What else do you need to believe? It is according to John 14:12 that he is able to restore the sight of the blind, open the ears of the deaf, and commanded the tongue of the dumb to speak. He also strengthens the lame to walk, and cure sicknesses that are more than doctors. He regularly calls down God’s blessings to his congregants, sets the captives free through deliverance, and guides his followers in the light of God’s righteousness.
Prophet TB Joshua Biography
The prophet we know today was born as Temitope Balogun Joshua on June 12, 1963. Popularly known today as Prophet TB Joshua, he hails from a humble family in Akoko, Ondo State. He attended the St Stephen’s Anglican Primary School. It so happened that financial difficulties impeded him from completing his secondary school education. Although his parents had difficulties meeting up with his school fees, he deeply desired to further his studies. Upon noticing that it wasn’t possible to further with studies, he took his life at hand as a young man. It was then that he started working extra hard to meet up with his little needs and expenses. History holds it that his special love for God and the Christian way of life earned him the name “small pastor” at an early age. He worked hard to stand among his equals despite his educational level.
Still on Prophet TB Joshua biography, we say that he tried to venture into contemporary life on several occasions without success. One of such happened when his aspiration to join the military was drowned by a mysterious engine breakdown on his way to an interview at the Nigerian Defense Academy, Kaduna. History holds it with human and material proofs that the birth of Temitope Balogun was surrounded by lots of mysteries. One of these mysteries which science has difficulties to explain up to date was the abnormality in the number of months he remained in his mother’s womb. After conception, children are normally expected in 9 months but Joshua’s case was different. He remained in his mother’s womb for 15 months. Everyone found this strange and they all knew that the child must be very special.
The Mysteries surrounding the prophet’s birth
After 9 months of pregnancy, Joshua’s mother started laboring. Due to the complexity of her pregnancy, she was taken to Egbe in Kogi State for an operation. Egbe had the best hospital by then. While in the hospital at Egbe, she ended up spending 3 months. Luckily, Joshua’s grandmother had enough money to meet up with the expenses of her only daughter for all those three months. It so happened that each time the doctor wanted to operate her, he had an uncomfortable feeling that made him change his mind. Things mysteriously continued this way until some Christians who usually visit the hospital to pray and preach to the sick came. Upon arriving, among them was a pastor. This pastor openly told Joshua’s mother to go home for God is busily preparing the child for a greater purpose.
The pastor further added that if she goes for an operation, she won’t appreciate the outcomes. This made her call the doctor to whom the pastor explained everything. And behold the doctor started understanding why he was reluctant to operate the woman. Immediately, the doctor agreed and the woman was sent home to wait for God’s time. On the 15th month of pregnancy, his mother went into labor and finally gave birth to him. This brought much joy to the family. The news went all around the village that the mysterious child was born. Filled with joy, everyone wanted to celebrate the birth of this child. So they planned to carry out the celebration on the 7th day from his birth. It was also on this day that they had planned to name him.
God saves the life of Prophet TB Joshua from a huge and sharp flying stone
We couldn’t afford to omit the flying stone from our writings on Prophet TB Joshua biography. This is one of the top mysteries surrounding his childhood. It took place on the seventh day of his birth. It happened before the eyes of many. Today, we have human witnesses. In other words, we have people who were there, they saw and lived it. Who else could better recount this story apart from them?. Just as we previously mentioned, the seventh day was a special day in his life. It was the day that he was to be named and celebrated. It so happened that on that famous day, the activities of a stone blasting company were unfolding. Whenever this stone drilling company was to operate, they’ll advise everyone to remain indoors for safety reasons. This was because the company operated a sophisticated drilling machine which sent out flying stones.
On this very 7th day of celebration, this company was operating. People gathered and were feasting the arrival of the child. In their joy, they gave him 30 names which were all written down. During this ceremony, the child was laying on a mat that was spread on the floor. But before the feast could come to an end, a heavy and sharp flying stone came from the stone blasting company to make away with the life of the child. You might ask how and why? We can’t say much apart from what we were told by human witnesses. It is said that this stone was emitted from the blasting machine at a very high speed that it burst through the roof of the house and landed exactly were Joshua was laying. Only God knows how the 7-days child moved from one side of the mat to the other.
Father and Mother
It won’t make sense for us to talk about Prophet TB Joshua biography without his parents. His late father was named Kolawole Balogun. There are rumors out there that TB Joshua’s late father was a Muslim. This is not true. His late dad was not only a Christian but the secretary to St. Steven’s Church. His dad was a farmer who was well educated. Records hold that he served as a translator to the white-men who came to his village. He translated from Yoruba to English as well as English to Yoruba. Joshua was highly loved by his dad. And that his dad would often take him along to any place he was going. He further adds that he enjoyed going to church with his dad. The prophet’s mother’s name is Adesiji Kolawole Balogun. She worked as a secretary to the union of daily savings collectors.
Life After Joshua’s father died
Still, on Prophet TB Joshua biography, we’ll add that his dad died when he was still young. This made him suffer the most. However, it did not represent the end for him as he continued growing as a man with the lessons his father thought him. After his father’s death, his mother’s brother who was a Muslim came in as a father figure for him. We must note here that this does not make him a Muslim. For he was born and brought up in a Christian way until the death of his dad. His father dying did not withdraw the Christian doctrine he had taught his son. It is in this Christian light that Joshua continued until he became who he is today. However, life after his father’s death was not the easiest. His mother was financially down and couldn’t do big for the boy.
His mother upon noticing that she could no longer meet up with Joshua’s studies asked him to wait on his brothers. Joshua’s brothers were a little advanced in studies and the mother was counting on them to complete and assist their last born. It happened that Joshua did not agree with this as it was not in his nature to depend on others. He refused to sit back home with folded arms waiting on others to help him. This led him to step out in order to help himself. He ferociously attacked life’s hardness and was determined to make it. Let’s now discuss the steps which the prophet underwent before reaching success.
Prophet TB Joshua Biblical Background
Many evangelical church leaders in Nigeria have put a question mark on the authenticity of Joshua. But we’ll say here that Prophet TB Joshua Biblical Background is one of the best. From childhood, he was passionate about the Bible. Since primary school, his love for God made him familiar with the Holy Scriptures. In short, his best subject which he excelled in was Bible studies. While a primary kid six, Joshua had already read through the New Testament twice. When he moved to secondary school, he read through the Bible in an average period of 2 months. It happened that every two months, he was reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. His primary or main subject of study was the Bible. In exams, he’ll score 99% in Bible studies while performing poorly in other subjects. He was the leader of the scripture union back in school.
Finding admission into secondary school was not the easiest thing for Joshua although he was second in primary school. It so happened that he ended up getting a late admission into a Muslim College. Within this college, it was forbidden to openly carry the Bible. This made it very difficult for him and his friends to read the Holy Scriptures from God. In other to do this, they’ll hide under the mango tree and when caught they’ll be purchased by the Muslim Community. They were 20 Christians in number. However, the Muslim Community did not make it easy for them. They had to hide before studying and sharing the Holy Gospel that brings life. Back in those days, he was the leader of the Christian team at Ansar-Ud-Deen Grammar School, Ikare. Knowing well fully of the danger if caught with the Bible, he left the school.
Prophet TB Joshua earlier careers
Following the hostility and religious intolerance at Ansar-Ud-Deen Grammar School, Joshua decided to run for his dear life. However, he did not only run for his life as he wanted a better and safer arena where he could freely study the Bible. This is what made him envisage moving from Ikere to Lagos. For this purpose, he met with some cassava transporters who were reputed for moving cassava from Ikere to Ibadan and Lagos. He approached and explained his predicament to them. They were moved by his story and embarked him on the journey to Lagos. But before this, they explained to Joshua that their trailer normally takes them 4 days on the road to reach Lagos. The transporters loaded their trailer with Cassava and Cocoa. And together with Joshua, they climbed and slept on top of the goods.
It so happened that Joshua’s journey to Lagos was out of his parents’ knowledge. He decided not to inform his parents for reasons better known to him alone. It took them 4 days in the vehicle to reach Ibadan. From Ibadan, they took off for Mile 12 in Lagos. Upon arriving, he was left there on his own by the transporters. These transporters told him it was all they could do to help him and that it was time that he takes things at hand. Left in the middle of a city he has never been there before, Joshua had no choice but to instantly become a man. For 5 days during the rainy season, Temitope lived in Mile 12 Lagos. Under the rain, he was stroke by serious hunger.
Prophet TB Joshua washes people’s feet for food
During Joshua’s 5 days in Mile 12 Lagos, he was seriously hungry and needed to find food. For sure, he needed to eat so as to gain energy. With no money at hand, no family or friend beside to help, he was left only with one choice. However, which choice could it be for a young boy with no professional skills or certificate at hand than washing the feet of people coming out of the muddy market? Only God knows where he even got a bucket and water to start this job. This provides us with another reason to give thanks to God. Authentic records from his ministry hold that it was from the pennies he received through the washing of people’s feet that he could purchase some little low-quality foodstuff in order to remain alive.
Things continued this way until God brought the first step of change in his life. One famous day, he overheard the conversation of two women who were speaking in his native language. This brought him so much joy and happiness that he moved to them and asked if they were from Arigidi his hometown. Lovely and caring as these women were, they answered yes. It was then that Temitope Balogun narrated his story to them. He told then that he was in Lagos to meet his sister whom he did not know of her whereabouts. God being with him, he was able to trace and find his sister in a period of 10 days. This brought him so much joy and comfort that he developed a taste for life again. He moved on to live with his sister.
Prophet TB Joshua NGO for motor park boys
Prophet TB Joshua being a successful man today has not forgotten his old days as a park boy who used to wash feet in order to make a living. It is with this in mind that he decided to start a non-governmental organization or a not for profit organization aimed at assisting motor park boys. Today, we can openly say that these not for profit organization has changed the lives of many for the best. It steps out in God’s likeness of love to meet up with the basic needs of young boys who are stranded.
Joshua’s point of view on Giving and Receiving
Not very long after he started staying with his sister in Lagos, he realized that his sister had her own bunch of burden. With this in mind, it was not his intention to add to her burden which already seemed to be overwhelming her. It is in this light that Joshua decided not to be an additional burden to his sister. You might ask yourself why and how? Joshua is not the kind who prioritizes receiving. Temitope prefers giving than receiving. He is the kind that will hand over an envelope to you if he visits your house and you give him a soft drink. According to him, we make a living by what we give and we make a life by what we receive. He deeply believes in this as he further adds that in life, we should not only spend our time collecting from others.
The man of God believes that over-collecting destroys life. That’s why he advise us to prioritize giving over receiving for giving builds life. He further supports this point with the Bible which says that giving is an assignment from God. Giving, in other words, is a form of displaying or putting our faith into action. However, we must note here that not all giving pleases God. You can give all that you have to the poor yet God is still not pleased with your action. And on the other hand, someone who gives just a penny to the needy is pleased with God. You might possibly be asking yourself why? Asking this question has its place. That’s why we’ll say that you are right in asking it. That answer is very simple. What makes our offerings acceptable to God is the love and nature of our hearts.
Did you know that Prophet TB Joshua carried Shit to make a living?
This is certainly strange to hear but he actually carried shit to make a living. You do not have to stress yourself by trying to find out the truth about this saying. This is a fact which we have thoroughly verified its veracity. It all took place when he decided not to be a burden to his sister in Lagos. Upon noticing that his sister had lots of responsibilities, he moved from her place to live with a friend of his. While living in his friend’s house, he had to figure out something doing in other to meet up with personal needs. The only better opportunity which popped up that he embraced was that of working as a poultry farm attendant. The poultry is still there and can testify. The job he had in this poultry was that of carrying shit. Yes, he was commissioned to displace fowl shit.
If you have had to rear fowls, then you better know how fowl shit smells. It turns to smell more terrible than human faeces. And this is the job which was done by Temitope Balogun Joshua. He did it together with many Ghanaians who were in Nigeria by then. While working as a shit carrier, Joshua had to present himself as a Ghanaian. He kept his Nigerian identity secret. This was so because no one was ready to believe that a Nigerian in his home country is caring shit to make a living. Upon working for three days, Joshua’s body odor had completely changed. Even after a thorough bath, people will still perceive fowl shit odor on him when he is walking. And it was in this same way that flies became his companions. Almost everywhere he went, flies were after him. He did this for 1 year.
Prophet TB Joshua desires to further his studies
At the same time that Temitope Balogun was carrying fowl shit, he enrolled in an evening school with the little cash he was able to make. This school was named New State High School. Apart from this school, Joshua attended so many schools in Lagos that he has forgotten the names of some. All these movements and school instability were not intentional. They narrow down to financial difficulties. Records hold that Joshua would attend one school for two months just to be sent away for fees. Some of the schools which he attended are New State High School, Isolo, Ansar-Ud-Deen Grammar School, and Metropolitan. Luckily enough, he was very good at athletics. This led him to win gold, silver, and bronze in athletics.
As a result of his skills in athletics, he was given some sort of scholarship. However, he still needed to work in other to meet up with his expenses at school. This was what led him to pick up the poultry job. Luckily, it was possible for those who were busy during the day to attend evening classes for their WAEC and GCE. And it even seemed that evening classes were more intense than day classes. It is in the spirit of hard work that Joshua took his studies which he was financing seriously. He was also teaching children Bible studies. There are records that his athletic skills took him to the Baptist Academy. This was after he had attended 15 schools in Lagos for less than a year.
Prophet TB Joshua confronts a madman at school
Joshua’s first attempt that led him to discover God’s spirit in him occurred when a madman came to the school he was. Back in those days, he was called “small pastor”. He recounts that one day, a madman came to their school with a cutlass. This took place in the morning hours and it kept everyone on the run. When Joshua arrived at the school campus, he encountered this madman while perceiving everyone on the run. It was at this time that the Spirit of the most high God spoke to his heart and not to his ear. He heard the voice of God telling him to go and collect the cutlass. This same voice told him to tell the madman to bring the cutlass.
Upon hearing the voice of God, Joshua was obedient and moved towards the madman. While he was approaching the madman, everyone was yelling at him not to go. Others were like “this young boy wants to die”. Others called him back for safety reasons. Knowing well fully that God was his protector, Joshua did not fear anyone neither did he fear the madman with the cutlass. When he arrived before the madman, he commanded him to give the cutlass in the name of Jesus Christ. Behold, the madman peacefully gave the cutlass without hurting anyone. He did not even resist before giving the cutlass. This left everyone amaze and astonished. They could only marvel at the spirit of God in Joshua. It was from there that they started calling him “small pastor”.
Prophet TB Joshua Ministry
Prophet TB Joshua Ministry started back in St. Steven Primary School after he collected the cutlass from a madman. Immediately after this action, his teachers will call him to pray in the assembly. His school mates and friends would come to him requesting for prayers. He did group prayers as well as individual prayers. This led him to lead the scripture union, teaching the Holy Scriptures, and executing other Christian related tasks. This is how he gained consciousness of God’s presence in his body. And as it is said, everything big starts small. Since them, one thing led to another up to the man we have today as Prophet TB Joshua.
Today, Prophet TB Joshua is the Founder, General Overseer, and Senior Pastor of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN). However, Joshua humbly considers himself as a simple servant of God. He attributes the head and foundation of his Church to Jesus Christ. His ministry has headquarters in Nigeria. By the grace of God, he moved from a couple of congregants to millions. Today, people come from different parts of the world to worship with him. Many travel long distances to come and get their healing, blessings, and breakthrough. He stands today as one of the most popular and influential pastors in Africa and the world at large. He has spiritual sons whom he trains and refers to them as wise men.
How TB Joshua received his calling from God to start the Synagogue Church Of All Nations
Although Joshua had previously been leading Bible studies and Christian associations, it was actually in 1987 that he received instructions from God. During that year, he visited the prayer mountain to seek God’s face about the path to follow. On the mountain, he prayed and fasted for 40 days and nights. It was during this time that he received a heavenly vision in which God commanded him to start the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN). It was in this vision that he was anointed and given instructions. To make things more clear, we’ll say that Joshua was in a trance for three days. This trance opened his spirit to heavenly beings and things.
In his vision, he could see the Apostles of Jesus Christ and other prophets sitting in heaven with their names on their chests. They were sitting around a huge man whose face he could not see because it was shining like the sun. This man whom he considered to be Jesus Christ inserted a Bible into his heart and gave him a small cross. Jesus commanded him to take the gospel to all places and that if he does his work rightly, the small cross will be replaced with bigger ones every year. And since then, he has been receiving bigger crosses every year. This cross shows the level of responsibility that is added to him. Jesus also said that if he failed in his task, a smaller cross will be given in the place of a big one.
Anointing water (Morning water)
The anointing water from the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) is popularly known around the world as the morning water. This water is prayed for by the prophet who believes that after prayers, the water is changed to the blood of Jesus Christ. What makes this water capable of healing the sick, delivering the captives, and bringing blessings is one’s faith in Christ. Without faith, the water is not different from that which you know. With faith, it is transformed into the blood of Jesus Christ which brings healing, deliverance, blessings, and freedom. There are testimonies every week about the blessings received from God through this morning water.
Prophet TB Joshua Net Worth -$15 Million
Prophet TB Joshua Net Worth has been estimated to $15 millions. Although Joshua features among the richest pastors in Africa and the world at large, he remains one of the most humble. A look at prophet TB Joshua cars reveals that he’s not into luxury. Everything moving from prophet TB Joshua private jets to Prophet Tb Joshua house reflects his humbleness.
Prophet TB Joshua wife
We can’t complete our writing without mentioning Prophet TB Joshua wife. She has greatly contributed to Joshua overall success. Records hold that she has always been there to comfort and encourage Joshua especially when his fellow preachers are throwing stones at him. She has also contributed to the great success of the SCOAN. Joshua’s congregants love her in a special way because of the pretty nice character she has. You might be asking who is this lovely and kindhearted woman? She is called Evelyn Joshua.
Prophet TB Joshua Children
Prophet TB Joshua Children can’t be left out from our writings. They are a source of comfort to the man of God. His marriage with Evelyn was blessed by God with three children. He brought them up in the Christian faith and today, they fill him with joy and happiness. Prophet TB Joshua family is one that has been blessed by God.
Free donations
Joshua is well known for his philanthropist works. He is one of the most generous pastors if not the most generous pastor in Africa and the world at large. Joshua has not kept for himself the blessings he received from God. But rather, he shares these blessings with the needy, the oppressed, the poor, childless, orphans, widows, and those who can’t meet up with the basic needs of life. His free donations are not limited in Nigeria or Africa. He extends his philanthropist works across Asia, Europe, America, and Dubai. He shares food items and money to those who are in need. In certain cases, he provides houses and scholarships to those who are are in need. He even offers vehicles and capital for people to start their businesses. We pray that may God continuously bless him.
Joshua’s philanthropist works are irrespective of whether you are a Christian or not. He believes that we are all God’s children and that no one should turn his back to a neighbor because of religion. The Bible supports this. Jesus Christ recommended that we love our neighbors. Not here that he did not ask Christians to love Christians. He rather asked Christians to love everyone. It is in this same spirit of giving that Joshua regularly teaches his congregants on the importance of giving. Some of his sayings are:
They are childless so that you can comfort and pray for them;
These children are fatherless so that you can be their father;
They are in need so that you can be their benefactor;
Feed those who are hungry;
We should prioritize giving over receiving;
Everyone has something to share and if you doubt ask the poor widow in the Bible; and
Give out of love and not because you have been asked to.
