Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) has confirmed the death of its founder, Prophet T.B. Joshua.
Joshua, a popular Nigerian preacher, died on Saturday at the age of 57.
The news of his death was first posted on the social media on Saturday but has been confirmed on his ministry’s official Facebook account.
An earlier post on Sunday by the church in a social media stated that the preacher died on Saturday, without given details of the actual cause of his death.
“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,” the church said.
Below is full statement by the church:
“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.
