Africans and a countless number of people in many parts of the world are still mourning the shocking death of the popular Pastor Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, who died in Lagos. The news of the death of the Man of God came as a great shock for many people, considering how he preached to church members just hours before his demise.

During his lifetime, Joshua was known as a man who helped millions of people spiritually, physically, morally and financially. The prophet was such a humble man who lived a non-flamboyant life despite having been one of the richest pastors in the whole world.

A number of stars have visited the prophet

1. Sani Emmanuel

Before his move to Lazio, Emmanuel was an altar boy in Prophet TB Joshua’s church and was single-handedly sent on trial in Italy by the man of God.

Although Emmanuel is presently without a club, he attributes his success in football to TB Joshua.

2. Ogenyi Onazi

Years back, Super Eagles star Ogenyi Onazi named Prophet TB Joshua as the man behind the success of his football career.

The former Lazio midfielder has played 52 games for the Super Eagles of Nigeria and has scored only one goal so far.
