Controversial Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua has put substance into his claim of leading a ‘church of all nations’ after packing an Olympic stadium in the South American nation of Colombia for a miracle crusade last weekend.

With almost 100,000 people attending the three day event, culminating with a pastor’s conference, the coming of the Nigerian pastor caused a stir within local media with several newspapers, television stations and radio networks covering the occasion.

Joshua, who is the head of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) and founder of Christian television network Emmanuel TV, preached on the subject of faith in both days of the crusade, held at the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium in Cali, Colombia.

In a message titled, ‘The Price Of Faith’, he stressed that both God’s Word and Spirit must be in consonance for Scriptural results to accompany ministry today.

"We are making Jesus Christ unpopular because Jesus is the Word and the Spirit but today we have taken Jesus as the Word," the cleric lamented, calling on the church to stop exuding envy and jealousy and learn from each other.

The Nigerian pastor then ministered prayer to the sick and infirm. Notable miracles followed, including wheelchair bound invalids rising up and walking and a young man brought to the event on a mattress miraculously leaving it behind.

Each move from the prophet was accompanied by applause from the Colombians, the cry of ‘Cristo vive’ (Christ lives) reverberating around the stadium at every miracle that unfolded.

Despite language barrier, Joshua evidently won the hearts of the locals with his simplicity and warmth. He enjoined international attendees to invest in Colombia, stating that the impression the international community had about the nation was quite different to what he had personally experienced.

When Joshua offered ‘mass prayer’ for everyone within the stadium, calling on all ‘unclean spirits’ of witchcraft and immorality of a sexual nature to be exposed, the resultant pandemonium was extraordinary.

"All spirits of affliction, witchcraft, divination, immorality and lust – I command them out, in the name of Jesus Christ,” Joshua bellowed, translators conveying his every word in Spanish.

People throughout the stadium began rolling, screaming, vomiting and writhing uncannily on the floor. “The evil spirits behind their problems are being cast out,” a commentator frantically explained.

Striving to differentiate himself from the stereotypical ‘money-mongering’ connotation attached to Pentecostal pastors of his ilk, Joshua made it clear that material gain was not the focus of the event but the salvation of souls.

“Miracles, signs, wonders, deliverance and healing cannot be exchanged with money,” he warned the crowd, a statement backed up by the free entrance to the event and equally free distribution of ministry materials to attendees.

This was coupled by a humanitarian event held on Wednesday 16th July in which Joshua and his team distributed foodstuff to thousands of less privileged families.

Pictures of the whole event, which was broadcast live on Emmanuel TV and local Colombian channel ‘Telefamilia’, were posted on Joshua’s official Facebook account, followed by over one million people.

A prophet is without honour except in his home town and among his own people. We don't appreciate what we have..!

Anecdotes. Nothing but anecdotes. With the kind of cash he's paying, I would agree to stand from a wheelchair myself. He should visit a hospital and leave his props behind. Many sick children are hospitalized in cancer wards all over the country.

This guy has been performing miracles and healing for more than 30 years now, with no single accusation of faking any. Rather what he's been accuse of, is using diabolical powers for his miracles which even Jesus Christ himself face same accusations. Healing is an act of faith, one has to want and desire it, if not, no amount of anointing can effect anything in the individual. you can deceive some of the pple all of the time, or all of the pple some of the time, but u can't deceive all of the people all of the time for 30 years plus. Have you ask your self why presidents, celebrities and prominent statemen visits him regularly?

We Shall know the Truth nd d Truth shall set us free. Let one Speak nd others Judge what he says. Look at false teaching here
1. "Price of Faith" Are we in anyway taught dat in d Scripture?
2. Word nd Spirit in consonance? Where is dat written in d Scripture. Jesus is the Word nd D Spirit is a person himself hw could dey be in rythm?
"Again dey applaud him for every move he made" How do dat sound? T.B Joshua is d one doing d miracle nd getting d glory? Maybe dey saw him as an entertainer. DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY MIRACLES RATHER ANALYSE THE WORD THEY SAY

Do you in any way believe in the Holy Trinity? When he said " the word and the Spirit in consonance" it is definitely in line with the doctrine of the Holy trinity.

Like I said, anecdotes. Hospitals around the world are filled to the brim with terminally sick people, many of them children. Why must his healing be done in his own setting? He's using props and impostors.

During the time of Jesus there many sick people in his own village but he couldn't heal them cause of there unbelieve. You have to want it to get. If those sick in the hospital want and the believe Jesus can heal them, the will go to the man of God. By the way u didn't answer my question.

He has said it b4 nd repeat it again. The Spirit of God minced with the Word he speak. Dats nonsense. When he says a word xo a whole person minced with d word to bring a result

Who has more faith than the mother of a terminally ill child? Are you kidding me? If this man was not a fraud, hospitals around the world would offer him some of their stage 4 cancer patients. Nothing can be done for them medically. Are you saying that there is no stage 4 cancer patient with enough faith in the hospital? Or that the hospitals haven't heard of this wonderful man?

i disagree with you 10%

He has healed lots of cancer cases. You need to read about this man or watch some of his videos. Maybe former president of Zambia that he healed was stage manage too abi??
OTHER LEADERS:
Atta-Mills, is, however, not the first African leader who enjoys a
robust relationship with the man in the Synagogue. Many other
African leaders have literally turned the church situated in Ikotun-
Egbe, a Lagos suburb, into a pilgrimage centre of sorts. They
include, President Omar Bongo of the Republic of Gabon, Goodwill
Zwelithini, King of the Zulu from South Africa, ex-President
Frederick Chiluba of Zambia, Andre Kolimba, former president of the
Central African Republic, ex-President Pascal Linssouba of Congo
Brazaville and Yormie Johnson, the former Liberian warlord.

This man have been trying to lead people in large numbers to christ which is good

He's clearly deceiving some people ALL the time. Read the YouTube comments on some of his videos, and you'll notice that the majority of people are not deceived. As far as prominent people visiting him, I don't know what to tell you. I know that Jesus Christ is imaginary, and yet the POTUS admits that he seeks his guidance from this imaginary person. Is he telling the truth or appealing to a particular demo? From experience, I would say the latter. The one president I know who paid him a visit did so after one of his usual ambiguous prophecies. Was the prophecy a big deal in his/her country? That would explain why the visit was arranged. It was a PR move. It's considered a good thing in our society for someone to act like they're in constant contact with God. Until of course that person straps a bomb to their best and start running at you.

@weah are all this stage manage

Other prominent personalities who have visited the church are Jaso
Van de Westhuzen, professional rugby player healed by Joshua,
Rev. Tay Cheng Kee, founder of Bethesda Carthedral, Singapore,
Raph Beimer, a judge of the US Supreme Court and Dupuo Peter,
Premier of Northern Cape, South Africa.

Prince Yormie Johnson is a cannibal and former serial murderer. He's hardly the model of good decision-making. In fact, if he's visiting this guy, then it should serve as a warning to the undecided.

The visit to the Synagogue by the Zulu King, on November 15, 2003,
was particularly significant. The King came calling a few months
after Sibusile, his daughter was HEALED of an ailment on August 20,
2003, at the Synagogue. The Zulu King was excited about her
daughter’s healing because for several years he had taken the
princess to many hospitals which failed to cure her. Since she
received her healing, Sibusile had remained in The Synagogue where
she devoted her life to the service of God as a member of the choir
and presenter in French on Emmanuel T.V.

Were they all healed or did they visit? Have you heard of the placebo effect? It is a real phenomenon that has been proven by science.

And you think placebo can heal cancer, placebo can make a cripple walk. Think again my brother!

Eldavido1:

Yes, I believe that certain types of cancer can be cured using the placebo effect. It depends on the setting and the professionals involved. As far as the cripple, I don't believe it. Armed robbers around here routinely enter churches and rob congregants. Churches are also vandalized for their metals like copper and aluminum. A few months ago, a bible study leader at World Changers Int'l was shot dead in the middle of bible study by another minister of the same church. Priests have sodomized little boys in several cathedrals where Catholics go to worship Jesus. Why is it hard to believe that a wheelchair bound person in church is really in collusion with the pastor?

TB Joshua is preaching and healing in Jesus name,I believe he is a true prophet of God that has the spirit of healing,Jesus is the same today,yesterday,tomorow and forever,those who believe in him will do greater things

Rayhut: TB Joshua is preaching and healing in Jesus name,I believe he is a true prophet of God that has the spirit of healing,Jesus is the same today,yesterday,tomorow and forever,those who believe in him will do greater things

Preaching and healing in Jesus name? There are roughly 20 million Mexicans with the name Jesus, some are non believers, others are gang members. This name is not all that it's cracked up to be. The bible which says that every kneel shall bow, is the same bible that cautions against satanic forces carrying out miracles in guess whose name? That's right, Jesus. How can demons use Jesus's name, when they should be bowing and confessing?

I think I am beginning to get where your problem lies. Let me ask you a question first; Do you believe God exist?

It is people like weah96 that would be the first to run to TB Joshua for a miracle at the slightest headache.
Eldavido1, good job. Just so you know, he is an athiest. I don't see any point argueing with him in the first place.

stop this arrogance! Admit for once that he is right.

Weah96:

you would rather believe negative comments about his ministry while tagging the miracles 'anecdotes'?

Your hypocrisy is amusing! . Why don't you visit SCOAN one of these days and investigate these things for yourself?
