Your creator is the one you should always run to, Abba Father. Maybe you worshiped T. B Joshua more than God, learn to be independent on spiritual matters, God hears all and answers accurately.

I received with heartbreaking shock on the death of a teacher of God's word, philanthropist. Prophet T.B Joshua, he gave millions of life hope through his kind gestures. He will be greatly missed. God bless his soul.

I commiserate with the immediate family of Prophet T.B Joshua, the entire Synagogue Church family, (home and abroad) as well as people of Arigidi Akoko, his home town in Ondo State. May God comfort you all and grant the departed eternal rest.

Bar the fact that I do not believe in men but God, you can go look up T.B Joshua's track record as a prophet, preacher and healing minister against that of Bushiri and see the glaring differences yourself.
And btw, Joshua ran his ministry from his country, not foreign land. https://t.co/ZBkYKN3FpR
