Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua of The Synagogue, Church
Of All Nations has called on Ghanaians to unite their words and deeds after
arriving in Ghana yesterday for the funeral of the late President John Evans
Atta Mills.
Speaking
to Ghanaian news station, TV3, outside the residence of the late President
after praying for former First Lady, Naadu Mills, he advised Ghanaians, “We should let our words and our deeds be
the same. I mean, what we are saying and what we are doing should be the same.
We should not say this and do another thing. You have heard the testimonies of
the people. If we had confessed these before now, that would have strengthened
the courage of our father before his departure.”
Contrary to media reports in
Ghana which stemmed from Citi FM, an Accra-based radio station, Joshua did not term identifying the cause of Mill's death as ‘unnecessary’ but rather stressed the late Presidents
destination was of greater importance than the manner of his departure. “When it is time for human departure, what
caused it does not matter. What matters is for us to know the time and where we
are going. If we know where our father is now, we would like to
be there,” he said.
When
asked whether his role in Mill’s life was that of a spiritual father, Joshua
refuted the statement. “God is our spiritual
Father,” he explained.
T.B. Joshua,
who was recently lauded as one of Africa’s most 50 influential people by the
prestigious Paris-based magazine, ‘The
Africa Report’, recently said that his relationship with Mills
started when
he was Ghana’s Vice President. After Mill’s surprising ascension to
presidency, his first port of call after his inauguration was to
Joshua’s church in
Lagos for a thanksgiving service where he publicly testified to the
accuracy of
Joshua’s prophetic insight in his three-round election victory.
