“Don’t play with the Holy Spirit,”- Prophet T.B. Joshua warns Leadership Newspaper

The General overseer of the Synagogue church of God, Prophet T.B Joshua had yesterday reacted to the interview that was purportedly circulated on the internet, but championed by leadership newspaper which claimed that the Man of God regretted the death of Atta Mill, the former President of Ghana who died this week. The interviewed released by Leadership newspaper quoted T.B Joshua as saying that despite his spiritual effort to save the life of the late Ghanian president, God’s wish for him was superior to all.

However, the controversial prophet had denied granting Leadership newspaper any interview on the death of the late Ghanian president whom many believe was a very good friend of Prophet T.B Joshua.

In a statement issued by the prophet himself tagged “ Leadership Stop this” he had warned leadership newspaper against publishing unrealistic story about him and his ministry, stating that God was watching who ever formulates stories against the man of God. T.B Joshua had also in the statement denied speaking on the death of the late president at any given time since he died.

[b]According to T.B Joshua, “The interview in LEADERSHIP NEWSPAPER of Thursday 26/7/2012 titled “I Did Not Foresee Atta Mills’ Death – T.B. Joshua” does not represent me, T.B. Joshua, because I was not around and I never spoke with anyone.

Speaking on the continuous rumour about his prophesy , the man of God says “People say all sorts of things against me but God says “Touch not my anointed and do him no harm”. Why should anybody write this as if you will not die one day?”

T.B Joshua who emphasized on the removal of the interview from Leadership website and other sites that stumbled upon it said “Remove this interview! The interview was not from me. Your staff never spoke with me. I was not around.”

The prophet who warned leadership newspaper to desist from lying against man and God said “Once again, Leadership Newspaper Editorial Staff should please remove this interview for God’s sake! Don’t fight a prophet, don’t fight God!”

The Prophet however asserted that he would be talking on the death of Atta Mill on Sunday live service of the Synagogue’s Church of God.

“Once again, readers, this is the first time I am talking to the public after the demise of our late president. I will talk as God instructs me on Sunday Live service on Emmanuel TV.

Don’t let anyone or organisations in any medium deceive you. I have not granted any interview and I will not because God has not permitted me until Sunday Service. I will not grant any interview until Sunday Live Broadcast.[/b]

The man of God also warned those who have the same interview published on their blogs and on their website to remove it asap . “Those that may have copied the false story from LEADERSHIP NEWSPAPER should remove it from their sites because this does not represent me. It is not from me”. He asserted.

Where do you people get all this info's from ...

How negative news travel fast!T.B Joshua has become an object of ridicule on d internet especially here on NL.
Like he said'touch not mine anoited and do my prophet no harm'

Forget the various tales surrounding whether he's fake or not, this man has suffered alot from the Northern Press who like to drag anything that's Christian in any form in the mud. I'm not surprised it came from a not-so-doing-well, less-patronised and popularity-seeking LEADERSHIP newspaper. BOKO HARAMITES.

Well said!

Can they not be sued? Just asking cos this is definitely too much!

This should be a lesson for whoever cares to listen! Stop spreading false remours, if T.B is a genuine man of God as he claimed, leave that to God to judge! Why people always pickd on him. Na wa for naija ooo

Gej,should learn how to get his facts right!

Every crook deserved to be mocked and ridiculed, he uses the press as much as they are using him.

The prophet of doom will always get negative coverage.

Who be this fool?

T.b joshua has done nothing wrong to those who label him evil. Instead he has improve the living standards of the less priviledge in the society, yet they call him evil. May God forgive those who call evil what is beyond their understanding.

When will the print media stop publishing false infos

40 Laptop: cant you see beyond the guys sarcasm?

justwise:

Kindly present facts ing your calling him crook and please where is your evidence that he is using the press or has used the press at any given time. Thirdly, who are you to call him a prophet of doom. Check the bible and find out prophets sent by God to warn people like Noah,Ezekiel,Jonah, John. As much as i am not his die hard fan,this guy has suffered enough in hands of his own people,Nigerians. Why for God's sake? Even if Jesus and Muhamhed come back in flesh,you people wil stil nail them to the cross. The more you nail him,the more he gets stronger. So please stop hating blindly and accusing people wrongly. This guy deserves better considering how he touches the lives of jobless,helpless,beggers,poor masses.

francis247: When will the print media stop publishing false infos

Guy,i dont knw about Buhari,Gej and Patience Gej cos they are politicians and can do anythn to attain their purpose including rituals,murders and the list goes on. If this is about the 40 cars bought for Gej's wife, we all know that there is no lie in that. If patience can travel with more than 50 aides, buying 40 cars is no biggie cos coscharis it that they did " TRANSACTION"

I see Winners,and Redeemed church at work here.They never see anything good about the TRUE man of God TB Joshua.

Its only in countries like nigeria& other backward african nations that a man can put on d toga of being "a man of God"& feels he is above questioning while he commits heinous crimes in d name of God.Its only wen common sense is used in d affairs of men,not prophetic(deceptive in most cases here) dat any progress can b made in d dark continent.Av pple ever bordered to wonder y nigerians seem to b d most church going/religious yet d country is in terrible shape& all manners of crimes kp on increasing? Any church where d pastor is more revered dan God himself is nothing but a house built on sand!
