How I Saw Prophet TB Joshua’s death And Tried To Avert It – Cleric
By Israel Bolaji
Lagos based cleric, Primate Ayodele Elijah has narrated how he saw a vision of the death of late Prophet TB Joshua before it happened and tried to avert it.
Temitope Balogun Joshua popularly called TB Joshua, a preacher and televangelist had died on June 5, few days to his 58th birthday on June 12.
TB Joshua was then buried on July 9 in Lagos in the premises of Synagogue Church of All Nations SCOAN which he founded and led till his death.
Ayodele said, “In February I saw TB Joshua’s death coming. I did what I could for him, prayed and tried to reach him personally. I had an encounter with him in the past.
We spoke but during follow up, calls were ignored. So I stopped. It’s great to show love but when it’s not encouraged, you have to be careful. So I’m not shocked when it happened. “
Primate Ayodele made the statements during the media unveiling of the 27th edition of his annual prophesy book ” Warnings To the Nations”.
Speaking further at the event, Primate Ayodele carpeted the leadership of Christian bodies in Nigeria
He stated: “Christian bodies in Nigeria have not added any value to Christendom in the nation. All of them including Aladura, PFN, CAN etc. There is no leadership in Christendom. It has become hooliganism whereby officials begin to query pastors on how they acquired fame.
“They asked questions such as Who is this one? who’s his father in the Lord? I don’t have any Father or Mother in the Lord. I didn’t train under any pastor. I’m simply doing as God directs me. So, once you want to get closer to some people, it becomes an issue. They will say, we don’t know him. Nobody needs to be known to serve God.
“But the senior pastors don’t want others to grow. There is envy and hatred among church leaders. The problem started with Adeboye, Oyedepo, Kumuyi etc. They are the real problems, just there for their pockets. They are doing nothing. Oritshejafor lost it as CAN President, Okogie lost it. The leadership lacks direction. There are problems and they failed to fix them.

“They are always there for government money at functions. We need a leader who is filled with the spirit and very vibrant.
When asked how he avoided scandals, he said he simply avoided social life and its issues.
” I am a village man. I am not a social person. I don’t go to party or speak big grammar. I am a local person. I love my critics. They should continue to criticise while I continue to do the work of God.
“For those who call me political prophet, it’s okay. Many Prophets in the Bible were seen as political because they spoke about the nations. Isaiah, David, Hezekiah, Jeremiah etc They spoke the heart of God to the nation.
“Ayodele explained that the title of the prophesy book is divine, and it used to be known as Present and Future Watch around 1994 to 1996 before it was changed during Abacha era. anything that is of God will come with provisions and right direction.
