“Since I got the message that our future is in the valley, I kept to myself. I should not go beyond God; I should go before Him.
“The Lord said to me that I should tell the nation and the leaders to pray against the interruption of democratic practice. You have to join me in prayer. The Lord gave me what to pray about because in this case, there must be prayers given to you,’ Prophet T. B. Joshua, the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, has revealed.
This prophecy came less than two months to the presidential election in Nigeria billed for February 19, next year.
Joshua while holding one of the church’s services in November this year had stated, “I have a message for my country and I want you to pray with me. After the message, you join me in prayers. “The first time I had the dream, I prayed, I fasted on my own. The second time I had the dream, I also prayed and fasted.
“But this time, you must join me in prayer because two believers are better than one. This is the third time I am having this message. Now I am going to say it the third time. The president’s heart is like a stream of water in the hands of God and He can control it wherever He wants.”
Joshua is known for his popularity across Africa and his online presence with 2,000,000 fans on Facebook and more than 400,000 YouTube subscribers.
Described as the “Oprah of evangelism” and “YouTube’s most popular Pastor,” he is the founder of Emmanuel TV, Africa’s largest Christian television network.
He predicted “I had a very terrifying vision about Nigeria and the forth coming election and it’s a thing of concerns and it can only take divine assistance for Nigerian to remain united after the election. The popular cleric said God has given him a message, one that needs to be backed by prayers from the entire nation.
“We live in very troubling times across the world with rising insecurity, paralysing terrorism, hate and a general atmosphere of fear. Nations are rising against nations; brothers are taking arms against one another. There is hunger in many regions of the world; the irony of our greed and hollowness can easily be deciphered in the inhuman treatment that we mete out one to another.”
The prophet has been awarded various accolades, notably receiving the Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) by the Nigerian government in 2008 and being voted the Yoruba man of the decade by Pan-Yoruba media outlet Irohin-Odua. He has been called one of Africa’s 50 most influential people.
