Controversial Nigerian pastor TB Joshua claims to have
warned people about the tragic building collapse which
led to 115 deaths.
Joshua stated in a Facebook post last Sunday that he
warned people and prepared them during the three
weeks prior to the multi-storey guest house collapse.
The Synagogue Church of All Nations(SCOAN) founder
had previously alleged that a terror attack was behind
the tragic six-story collapse and showed a clip from
CCTV footage of a plane flying over the building
several times.
Joshua who is known for his prophetic visions was
widely criticised for not being able to prophecy this
tragedy.
In response he took to Facebook and warned his
critics against accusing him of failing to foresee the
disaster. “For the three weeks before the incident, if
you heard my message and sat down, you would
know I was giving you a vision and prophetic Word on
how to handle the situation at hand,” said Joshua
According to Joshua, all the “Satanic agents”
criticising him over the circumstances surrounding the
incident, would soon “suffer for it.”
“I pray the satanic agents should be the only ones to
suffer this. I said, our God will get back to them. Warn
your family and brothers about their talk. You will
know I am a man of God this time. People who are
looking for your downfall and run to disturb your spirit,
warn them to be careful of their tongues and the
people who come to them. God is a God of vengeance
– anybody can go for it,” he wrote.
The prophet insisted that the 115 victims were martyrs,
adding that their relations would see the continuation
of the work of God, “that is what they died for, suffered
for and are living for.”
“The martyrs, victims and relations want to see your
faith grow; they want to see the work of salvation and
the work of God in your life continue. They want to see
you serve the Lord the more. The only way you can
allow the work of God to continue is to be with yourself
and God, not to allow intruders and people around you
to advise you and tell you what to do when they could
not stop what happened.
