In more news, Briefly News previously reported that the world is mourning the death of Nigerian Preacher, TB Joshua. The preacher, whose cause of death is unknown, has sent a chill down the spine of millions of fans and believers who have stormed social media to express their sorrow.
TB Joshua, who died at age 57, will be remembered for the various prophecies he uttered bothering from the September 11 attacks, Ebola, political crisis and world events. Briefly News resurrects some prophecies from the deceased prophet.
Prophecies that come to fruition
Prophecy: United Kingdom – there will be agitation from a section that wants to leave; that will become an issue. Also, pray for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh against going in and out of the hospital; pray for God to give them revival.
Verdict: This prophecy came to pass in 2020 and 2021. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sparked agitation in the royal family as they exited their royal duties and denounced their titles. Also in 2021 was the death of Prince Philip, husband of the Queen of England, who died after visits in and out of the hospital just as the pastor predicted.
Prophecy: Many sicknesses and diseases that leaders have been treating privately will surface this year. They will become bedridden and many will not make it.
Verdict: This happened in the wake of the Coronavirus which killed so many world leaders in Africa and abroad due to their underlining health conditions which they have been treating secretly.
Prophecy: There will be a common medicine that will cause people to be ‘high’ to die, to take their lives, to think of what can lead to death.
Verdict: This prophecy was evident in the Opioid crisis of the United States and other countries where many deaths were recorded from patients who bought and took it.
How the pastor will be remembered
Prophet TB Joshua is respected and will be remembered as one of the most successful televangelists in Africa and around the world. Meanwhile, family of the late preacher is yet to formally announce burial preparations as tributes keep pouring in from around the world.
