Throwback! See How Late Prophet T. B Joshua Prophesied About His Own Death
In a heartfelt statement released to PM News, the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) confirmed the sudden passing of its founder, Prophet T. B. Joshua, on Saturday, June 5, 2021. His death, which occurred shortly after a church program, shocked millions of followers around the world. The church disclosed that just hours before his passing, Joshua had spoken prophetically about his ” time to return” to God, reflecting on life’ s inevitable transitions during a service for Emmanuel TV Partners.
The official statement from SCOAN read: ” On Saturday, 5th June 2021, Prophet T. B. 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. ‘ ”
This statement, laden with profound meaning, is now seen by many as a prophetic foretelling of the end of Joshua’ s earthly mission. T. B. Joshua, known for his healing ministry and far- reaching evangelical impact, had always been vocal about the brevity of life and the importance of spiritual preparedness. His final public remarks, now echoing with a deeper resonance, remind followers of his often- quoted words on living a life of purpose and devotion to God.
SCOAN further emphasized the significance of Joshua’ s message, drawing a parallel to the Bible, quoting Amos 3: 7: ” Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets. ” The church viewed Joshua’ s death not as a sudden tragedy, but as a divinely revealed event, in line with his spiritual role.
In addition to this, the church shared what they believe were his final words: ” Watch and pray. ” These simple yet profound words encapsulate the core of Joshua’ s teachings throughout his ministry— encouraging vigilance in faith and unwavering commitment to a life in Christ. The statement continued, ” One life for Christ is all we have; one life for Christ is so dear, ” urging followers to reflect on the value of dedicating their lives to spiritual service.
Just days before his passing, on June 3, 2021, T. B. Joshua addressed his global audience, revealing that he would not be able to celebrate his upcoming 58th birthday on June 12, as had been his custom. In a poignant message to his viewers, he expressed empathy for those facing challenges around the world and acknowledged the impact of the global situation. He said:
” Happy Birthday to you! Viewers all over the world, June 12th is around the corner. As you know, I am a man of the people. So, the wound of one is the wound of all. As things stand, you may have realized it will not be easy for me to celebrate my birthday under the present circumstances. Some of the people who want to come are troubled by the situation all over the world. We see their fear and their worry. I feel their pain; I feel their worry. ”
Joshua’ s humility and compassion were evident as he suggested that his birthday be marked with prayer and fasting, rather than celebration. He added: ” Therefore, let us dedicate this day to prayer and fasting. Don’ t forget the needy. By the grace of God, more birthdays are ahead. God bless you! Emmanuel. Jesus is Lord! Happy Birthday! ” These words, now remembered as his final birthday message, reflect his consistent focus on the needs of others and his desire for collective spiritual reflection.
At the time of his death, the exact cause had not been officially disclosed, though his passing occurred just after a church service, leading many to speculate about possible health concerns. His remains have since been placed in a morgue, awaiting further arrangements.
T. B. Joshua’ s death marks the end of an era for millions of his followers across the world. As a prophet, healer, and televangelist, Joshua’ s influence extended far beyond the borders of Nigeria, reaching into the lives of people from various nations and backgrounds. His messages of faith, charity, and spiritual preparedness have left an indelible mark on many, and his legacy is certain to continue through his ministry and the countless lives he touched.
As the world mourns the loss of this spiritual leader, SCOAN and his followers reflect on his teachings, his life, and the mystery of his death. His final words, ” Watch and pray, ” now serve as a reminder of the importance of faith, vigilance, and dedication to the service of God, a message that will resonate for years to come.
