Wanangu wana jamvi,
Kifo cha tapeli mkubwa mwenye roho mtakakitu TB Joshua si habari mpya tena. Hata hivyo, kina funzo hasa kwa matapeli wanaomuuza Yesu wasijue kuna mwisho. Jamaa alijirundikia ukwasi asijue atakufa kijana hata kabla ya kuufaidi.

Sijui akina Gamanywa, Gwajima, Kakobe, Mzee wa Upako, Mwingila na wengine wengi wanajifunza nini? Je wachovu na wajinga wataendelea kuwatajirisha matapeli wakijidanganya kuwa sala na si kuchapa kazi vinaweza kuwakomboa?

Je wapumbavu wanaoamini manabii wa uongo watapata somo hapa? Naomba kuleta hoja tekenyeshi wanangu.

jamaa mjanja sana uyu, ukitaka uwe tajiri anzisha kanisa, muangalie Masanja Mkandamizaji anapush X6 kwa hela za wajinga

Doctrine zote za kutungwa ni tatizo bila kujali zilitungwa na mtu mmoja au wengi.

Usiwe mwoga wa kusema ukweli. Makanisha yenye doctrine za kutungwa na mtu mmoja ni tatizo. Nina hakika woga wako unaamini Joshua pamoja na kufariki anakuona na unaogopa kupata matatizo.

The Nigeria televangelist Temitope Balogun Joshua, one of Africa’s most popular televangelists who was known as T.B. Joshua died at 57 on Sunday.

Some of his believers claim the preacher already knew that he was to die soon.

The ruler of his hometown Oba Yisa Olanipekun told reporters that the preacher had prophesized his departure in his last sermon.


"If you listen to his last preaching two days ago, you will see that he already knew that he is ready to go," said the Oba Yisa in line with the belief that TB Joshua prophesied his own death.

The preacher died at 2 am on Sunday, June 6 through the cause of his death is not known.

His death was officially announced through his church's Facebook page The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) on June 6.

"On Saturday 5th June 2021, Prophet TB Joshua spoke during the Emmanuel TV Partners Meeting: "Time for everything -- time to come here for prayer and time to return home after the service," T.B. Joshua Ministries wrote in a Facebook post.

"God has taken His servant Prophet TB Joshua home -- as it should be by divine will. His last moments on earth were spent in the service of God. This is what he was born for, lived for and died for."


It is reported that he walked out of a Saturday night sermon to take a little break but did not return to continue the mass.

Those in attendance only became aware of the situation when it took long without seeing the preacher return.

Upon a search at his apartment, he was found dead at 2 am.

According to Kenya's Daily Nation, Lagos Police Commissioner Hakeem Odumosu said on Sunday that he received a report at 2 am that the preacher was dead.

"I had to quickly get in touch with his family and it was confirmed. We do not really have details now but I can tell you he was ministering when he suddenly fell ill and left the church to rest,” he said.

The Daily Nation further revealed that the pastor was officially pronounced dead by a hospital around 3 am according to Mr. Odumosu.

“It is true he is dead. I do not know the cause of his death yet. But the information we have is that he was conducting service…he felt uncomfortable, walked to his apartment by himself and never came back.

“His people thought he probably wanted to rest or refresh but when they didn’t see him after a long while, they went in search of him and found him in an unusual position,” he said. The church said Joshua’s last words to his members were “watch and pray”.

Hundreds of his followers and church members flocked the centre on Sunday morning.

Local reports in Nigeria indicate that flags adorning the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Lagos were at half-mast as dozens of mourners thronged the church compound upon learning the death of TB Joshua.

There was no service on Sunday morning as it has been routine as church security blocked the mourners from accessing the centre.

TB Joshua was popular in many African countries, and in South America where he had held many religious crusades.

The preacher was noted for making predictions and for his claims to cure various ailments and to make people prosper through miracles.

The Nigerian Senate Chief Whip said the preacher will greatly be missed by his followers.

“He will be remembered as a notable spiritual leader with a passion for empowering the poor and vulnerable in the society,” he said.

Several world leaders led by the Nigerian President mourned the preacher on Sunday.

In a statement, Buhari said, "he will not only be remembered for his spiritual contributions, but for touching many lives through philanthropic gestures.”

Obituary: TB Joshua, Nigeria’s controversial Pentecostal titan

The controversial Nigerian televangelist, faith healer, and neo-Pentecostal pastor Temitope Balogun (TB) Joshua has died at the age of 57. He was the leader of Nigeria-based The Synagogue Church of All Nations.

Many will remember him, and his church, from the widely publicised 2014 tragedy in which 116 people died when a church building collapsed in Nigeria. His handling of the tragedy was problematic. He initially claimed that the building’s collapse was caused by a “strange aircraft”. Leaked audio recordings later suggested that he tried to alter the narrative about the building’s collapse by bribing reporters. It turned out that the building was poorly constructed and did not meet basic safety requirements.

That Joshua was able to continue his ministry after this debacle is quite remarkable. Very few business leaders or political leaders would be able to survive such a scandal. Yet, support and admiration for him remained.

After his death he was being hailed by his followers on social media as a man of God who gave to the poor.

Get news that’s free, independent and based on evidence.​

Get newsletter
TB Joshua had more than 3.5 million followers on Facebook, and before his YouTube channel was shut down in April for videos claiming to ‘cure’ homosexuality, it had close to 1 million followers.

The ongoing support for him and his ministry can be explained by understanding the theological tradition in which he operated.

Tech savvy televangelist​

Joshua is part of a relatively new development in World Christianity. He was a media savvy televangelist, and more recently an internet influencer, known for advocating the prosperity gospel. The advent of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter has meant that there are more and more of these preachers popping up with followers numbering in the millions.

Their appeal lies in the prosperity gospel that they preach. Regarded by many Christians as a heretical teaching based on manipulation rather than genuine care, the prosperity gospel is often called the “health and wealth” gospel.

Its preachers view God as a mix between a personal stockbroker and a therapist. The core of their message is that God desires that people should be wealthy and healthy. Of course, there is not much consideration of the fact that ageing and sickness are part of the natural order of life, or that the planet cannot sustain unchecked levels of consumption and production.

Prosperity gospel​

The prosperity gospel is most popular in contexts where people face significant economic and health challenges, such as Africa, Latin America and among poorer demographic populations in the West. Among such populations faith becomes an important source of meaning and hope because people are vulnerable and face significant challenges or needs.

People find great hope when their well-dressed, articulate and affluent preacher tells them that all they need is faith in God for them to become wealthy and successful. These claims are often supported by testimonies from members of the congregations who testify how their “sacrificial giving” showed that they had more faith in God than in economic and social systems.

Sadly, it is most often only the preacher whose wealth increases.

Promises of healing​

Similar reasoning is used in relation to health and physical wellbeing. If you are sick, or under threat of getting sick, you can overcome illness by faith. These preachers claim that the clearest way to demonstrate your faith is to choose the spiritual over the physical. In more extreme cases preachers have told members to give their money to the Church rather than pay for medicines or necessary treatments.

Joshua’s church claimed that:

Divine healing is the supernatural power of God bringing health to the human flesh … Thousands who come oppressed with sickness and disease receive their healing at the (Synagogue Church) … Truly, there is never a sickness Jesus cannot heal.

These healings aren’t cheap. Many wealthy and notable Africans have sought Joshua’s “healing miracles”. They include the late Zimbabwean politician Morgan Tsvangirai, Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema, Malawian president Binguwa Mutharika, and the late African National Congress (ANC) leader, Winnie Mandela.

There are also numerous sports stars who are known to have sought out Joshua’s prayers for healing. Some travelled to meet the church leader in person, others partook of healing prayer sessions virtually.

Take aways​

TB Joshua’s passing is bound to present some theological problems for his church and those who hold his theological views. Did God forsake him? Was he no longer blessed? It will be interesting to see what kinds of theological answers are given for his untimely death in the days and weeks to come.

Joshua held particularly unscientific and problematic views on disease in general, and COVID-19 in particular, claiming to be able to heal persons from the disease. He prayed:

By the power of the Holy Ghost, by the power of the Holy Spirit, that affliction, that COVID-19 be flushed out! Those viruses in their internal organs be flushed out!

The promise of healing, or a solution to grinding economic woes, is tempting, particularly when it seems that there are no reasonable alternatives. However, we must hold those religious leaders to account who use the desperation of the poor and vulnerable to enrich themselves and build personal empires.

The prosperity gospel is a very recent phenomenon in World Christianity. It only appeared on the scene in the last 100 years and is deeply influenced by contemporary views of prosperity and physical wellbeing and not by the traditional tenets of the Christian gospel or orthodox Christian teachings. Its teachings are frequently regarded as a heresy.

While TB Joshua’s untimely death will be mourned by millions, his harmful legacy should not be ignored.

TB Joshua: The Nigerian outsider who became a global televangelist star​

Nigeria's influential pastor TB Joshua, who has died aged 57, was considered a pariah among the country's mega-televangelists and struggled until his death to be accepted within their circles, despite amassing millions of followers across Africa.
Ostracised by both the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) he was described as an "impostor" who belonged to a group of "occults" that had infiltrated Christianity.
But Mr Joshua was no different from the other televangelists who have held many Nigerians in their grip with their "prosperity messages" since the early 1990s.
Most of them are more dramatic and perform the same "miracles", but Mr Joshua - who headed the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) - was not part of their clique.
"He was rough. He was crude. His methods were unorthodox," says Abimbola Adelakun, assistant professor in the African Studies Department at the University of Texas.

'They thought he was fake'​

Mr Joshua came from a poor background and was brought up by his Muslim uncle following the death of his Christian father.

He mostly wore a jalabia - a loose-fitting garment worn by Muslims, and kept a moustache that gave him an intense look.

When Mr Joshua started his ministry on television in the mid-90s, his hair did not glisten, his shoes were not shiny and he did not have an American twang - he spoke with a Yoruba accent, and a mixture of English and Pidgin.
His followers found him charismatic and down-to-earth, and his message spread around the world.
Mr Joshua refined himself as he became wealthy, adding a fleet of cars and a private jet to look the part, but he remained an outsider.
Most Nigerian pastors are products of a mentorship scheme where senior pastors are referred to as "daddy/mummy in the Lord".
"They don't believe you can stand on your own without having anyone to defer to," says Gbenga Osinaike, publisher of Nigeria's leading Pentecostal publication.

"The extreme charismatic movements feel you need a mentor - Paul, father of Timothy, Elijah, father of Elisha, and all that. They thought he was fake and the relationship was frosty."
Born on 12 June 1963, Mr Joshua also did not help himself with outlandish claims - one of them being that he was in his mother's womb for 15 months.
To witness his prayer sessions in the early days of his televised ministry was to be treated to exorcism that many felt bordered on the occult.
Some of it felt like a hypnotic session, others like that of a magician at work.

He was not effusively dramatic when he prayed, and seemed not to expend a great deal of strength when he supposedly commanded spirits out of humans.
But he still wielded enormous power - people fell when he spread out his arms, rolled when he snapped his fingers, and his breath pushed back rows and rows of his congregation.

'Miracle' handkerchiefs​

On some occasions, he gazed intently at those he was praying for and seemed to control the movement of others with an invisible remote.
"People had a mind-set of how God would work and when they saw something different, they were taken aback," says Mr Osinaike.
But many of the things he was criticised for at the time were also practised by many of the Pentecostals who were no less deified by their members.
They used the same white "miracle" handkerchiefs, sold the same oils and holy waters that purportedly cured all ailments and had their faces emblazoned on shirts and stickers used by their members.
"But because he did not belong to the clique or fall into their own description of God, he was demonized," says Mr Osinaike.

Mr Joshua was also accused by his fellow pastors of staging fake miracles, while claiming that their miracles were genuine.
In response, Ms Adelakun says: "There is no miracle that is real.
"I know this is not what Christians will agree to but there is no miracle that can grow your legs. There is no miracle that can raise the dead. All of those things are staged to help you to believe."
Ms Adelakun adds that some Christians believe miracles ended with the days of the Apostles.
"But then came the Pentecostals who said these things are still possible," she says.

Took advantage of TV ban​

The mega-pastors radically changed the face of Christianity in Nigeria with their evangelical sermons, prophecies and promises of miracles.
They lead huge congregations, and many of them have been accused of exploiting poor people with their promises of prosperity.
"People want to see something sensational. It gives them something to think about," says Ms Adelakun.

image captionSome predict that TB Joshua's church will collapse following his death
In 2004, Nigeria's broadcast regulator banned TV stations from airing the miracles of pastors on live TV.
Mr Joshua believed that he was the target, with rival pastors having lobbied the government to introduce the ban as he was dominating the media with his so-called miracles.
He used the ban to his advantage, launching a satellite station, Emmanuel TV, which catapulted him to international fame.
"He was perhaps the first to utilise the internet and satellite broadcast to sell his ministry to an international audience," says Ms Adelakun.
He also set up Facebook and YouTube pages with millions of followers.
In April, YouTube suspended his page after it was reported for homophobic messages.

Unlike his peers Mr Joshua did not establish church branches on every street corner and mostly kept his family in the background - his wife rarely appeared alongside him and none of his sons were known to be heading branches.
The church was him and he was the church, each a reflection of the other.
He died on Saturday and the cause of his death has not been made public.
Since then, the giant gates at his ministry's headquarters in Lagos have been sealed, and the army has been brought in to maintain order as thousands of his followers throng to the premises, wailing and bewildered.
"It was a typical one-man show, although he has disciples. It is hard to see the church going on without him," Mr Osinaike says.
