Tributes continue to pour in for Prophet Temitope Balogun, the General Overseer of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), who died yesterday, June 5, at the age of 57.
According to media sources, he died unexpectedly on Saturday evening while attending a Church meeting. All flags decorating the SCOAN in Lagos had been lowered to half-mast as admirers descended on the Church following news of Prophet TB Joshua’s death, the News Agency of Nigeria reported.
It stated that sympathizers and followers of the Prophet were seen crying around the Church’s premises and that the regularly scheduled church service was cancelled. According to an official confirmation of TB Joshua’s passing by the Church’s verified Twitter and Facebook pages, he advised his followers to “Watch and Pray.”
“Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” – Amos 3:7.”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.”
“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“.
“As Prophet TB Joshua says, ‘The greatest way to use life is to spend it on something that will outlive it.'”
“Prophet TB Joshua leaves a legacy of service and sacrifice to God’s Kingdom that is living for generations yet unborn“.
“The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations and Emmanuel TV Family appreciate your love, prayers and concern at this time and request a time of privacy for the family“.
T.B. Joshua was born on June 12th, 1963 in Ondo State, Nigeria. His journey has been defined as a humble narrative of how God lifted a young guy from a poor family to head an international ministry that draws thousands of people worldwide to experience the truth of God’s power.
His life story, from dropping out of secondary school in his first year to working in a poultry farm, teaching small children while attending evening classes, and washing people’s legs on the muddy streets of Lagos, to becoming a mentor to presidents, a friend to widows, and a friend to the less fortunate, was an encouragement and hope for the weak.
