According to the SCOAN, “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.”

It regrettably announced that “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.

It added, “As Prophet TB Joshua says, “The greatest way to use life is to spend it on something that will outlive it”.

The Church extolled his virtues, stressing he is leaving a “legacy of service and sacrifice to God’s Kingdom that is living for generations yet unborn.”

According to SCOAN, the prophet’s last words were “Watch and pray.”

Thanking all well-wishers and sympathisers for their love, prayers and concern at such a difficult time, it requested privacy for his family.

The cause of death of the 57-year-old was not disclosed.

A statement copied to Adomonline.com, said the popular prophet has not named former President John Mahama as winner of the elections.

“Remember, the Bible says in John 8:44 that satan is ‘the father of lies’. Don’t listen to the father of lies, the sons of lies and the daughters of lies. Do not sit somewhere, hear this or that, and come to a hasty conclusion. I have not said anything concerning this upcoming election in Ghana,” the statement said.

Our attention has been drawn to several articles circulating on the Internet claiming that Prophet TB Joshua has given a prophecy regarding the upcoming presidential elections in Ghana. Here is a statement from Prophet TB Joshua concerning this:

It has been the attitude of some people in Ghana to use my name to promote themselves. The same thing happened in the past. What you did not hear from a prophet of God and you claim he said it is a sin against the Holy Spirit. What will you gain from this? If you don’t retract this, the Holy Spirit will judge you.

Remember, the Bible says in John 8:44 that satan is ‘the father of lies’. Don’t listen to the father of lies, the sons of lies and the daughters of lies. Do not sit somewhere, hear this or that and come to a hasty conclusion. I have not said anything concerning this upcoming election in Ghana.

God requires that we find out the truth from Him first and hold fast to that which is true, as the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:21. Emmanuel TV is the only official mouthpiece of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN). If you didn’t hear it on Emmanuel TV, please disregard it. This story spreading around Ghana concerning me is not true. This can only come from a liar.

Good people of Ghana – please, watch and pray (Matthew 26:41).
