Prophet T.B. Joshua delivered a shocking message during the course of his
service on Sunday 4th May 2014 at The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN)
in Lagos, heatedly calling on all Nigerian political parties to immediately
cancel political rallies or face dire repercussions.
He spoke further on the
rumoured planned attack on the Sheraton Hotel in Lagos and the fate of the over
200 missing schoolgirls in Borno, declaring their rescue to be imminent.
“There
is a difference between Nigeria as a nation and these political parties,”
Joshua told his congregation while addressing the current security concerns in
Nigeria. “Nigeria is calm; it is the
political parties that are not calm... These political parties gave birth to
militants and Boko Haram.”
The pastor then insisted
on the immediate suspension of all political rallies in the wake of the current
situation. “How can over 200
schoolgirls be kidnapped somewhere and we are talking about disagreements
between political parties? And APC and PDP are not ashamed?” Joshua
angrily stated.
“They
should suspend all rallies and acrimonious campaigns. It is this division that
gave opportunity for hoodlums, militants and Boko Haram to explore and
exploit.”
He went further to warn
that the militants would redirect their attacks towards people that matter in
society if this advice was not heeded. “If
our political class does not stop their campaigns and rallies and put aside the
name of parties – APC, PDP, Labour – to come together to discuss as Nigeria, these
people will turn against them. Any moment from now, you will hear of ‘bigshots’
being attacked.”
Addressing the way out
of the current security challenges, Joshua insisted that the threat of Boko
Haram was beyond physical or natural solution. “We are dealing with evil spirits that kill, steal and destroy; let us
not deal with our neighbours.”
He warned people not to
fuel the insurgent’s activities by reacting fearfully to their threats. “Your response determines their operation. Fear and panic help their
operations because their main weapons are not bombs and guns of all sorts but
evil spirits.”
The influential cleric
then called on security operatives to seek God’s help in their war against
terror. “Before they can bomb or
shoot, they must consult evil spirits. Our soldiers and security – who do you
consult before you shoot? You need the Spirit of God’s suggestion as to what to
do.”
Speaking on the warning
issued by the American Embassy to its citizens about a planned attack in the
Sheraton hotel, widely reported by international media, Joshua told Lagosians
not to be alarmed. “Whatever plan of
evil in Lagos will be proved abortive! There is no cause for fear or alarm.”
He explained further in
a rather parabolic fashion: “An attack
in Lagos is an attack on the source... Don’t forget – Lagos is the commercial
centre and every one of us has a commercial interest. It is a place you cannot
avoid.” He described reports of the planned attack as an ‘expensive
joke’.
Joshua went further to
speak on the unclear motivation behind the actions of the insurgents: “If truly their mission is clear, their
grievances should not be towards common people, innocent worshippers or school
children. They should go and attack those who recruited them in the past. Since
all of this mess started, how many senators or governors did you learn they
attacked and killed?”
Addressing the string of
'negative' stories currently circulating about Nigeria, Joshua also spoke
scathingly about Nigerians who travel abroad and propagate such negativity
about their homeland. “What you say
about your country matters. Many travel abroad and say Nigeria is this or that
– have you forgotten that is where you were born?”
He specified individuals
using divisive words against particular political leaders. “The nation is bigger than anybody. Why are
you rubbishing this nation and forgetting you are a Nigerian? No one will build
this nation for you – you are to build it. You have to rebrand your nation.”
T.B. Joshua lastly gave
words of reassurance to the parents of the abducted schoolgirls in Borno,
advising them not to be misled by spurious news reports. “Get ready to receive your children back.
Your children are coming home.”
It was a message he had
earlier stated on Saturday 3rd May 2014, at the end of a prayer session.
Speaking with uncanny frankness, Joshua stated that Boko Haram had ‘touched the
heart of God’ with the kidnapping of the Chibok girls.
“Enough
is enough,” the pastor stated in the live telecast on Emmanuel
TV. “I place my career and calling on
the line that these 200 schoolgirls they kidnapped – they have to release them
immediately unharmed and unhurt. Then, they can wait for God’s judgement.”
He also gave another
stern warning to the political elite. “Politicians
– whatever you must have done to contribute to the mess in this nation will not
go unpunished. If you are not punished, how will generations yet unborn or
generations coming know that there is God?”
