Followers celebrate two-year anniversary of TB Joshua’s demise

Two years after his demise, some faithfuls at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) have described the late Prophet Temitope Balogun-Joshua as love personified.
The faithfuls, who spoke on Sunday against the backdrop of the two-year anniversary of the death of the late SCOAN founder, also known as TB Joshua, said that he exhibited love of the early apostles.
This they described as the kind of love where communal living and care for one another was promoted to make the society peaceful.
Recall that the clergyman died on June 5, few days before his 60th birthday, after reportedly prophesying his death days before.
The spokesman of SCOAN, Pastor Dare Adejumo, described the late Mr Joshua as the “humbliest human being I have ever come across.”
According to him Mr Joshua was firm and stern, in ensuring that things are done right.
“Even in his moment of severity, you will still find love encapsulated. You cannot offend him.
“He is extra sensitive with propulsively radiating wisdom, unfathomable knowledge of life, charming and a paragon of magnetically illuminating character.
“He was completely acidic to vanity, envy, jealousy, human comparison, imitation, vulgarity and wonton desires.
“He described them as one of those ‘foolish things’ not to be entertained for a moment in one’s life.
“TB Joshua was a divinely self-made man. Here was a man with little elementary education. Yet with your degrees, prodigy of erudition and western exposures, you will be humbled by the self discovery of your personal hollowness or quasi emptiness when you sit to discuss or share a view with him,” he said.
He said that the late Mr Joshua was a shying rustic village man but an attestation of God’s Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent and greatness that lies in simplicity.
Obinna Amaefula said that the late prophet left a legacy of love sustainability as his followers have keyed into his objective to offer help and render voluntary services to people.
“I have been a member of the church for nine years, my association with the church has rekindled in me the spirit to give and care for others in order to receive more from God.
Also speaking on the anniversary, Abosade Lawal said that the love as epitomised by the late preacher would for years to come pave ways for the body and individual faithful.
Mrs Lawal urged other people, especially men of God, to emulate the posture of the late preacher to win souls for God.
The late Mr Joshua’s ministry was reported to have been characterised by giving to the needy, healing the sick and raising people.
