To buttress his unconventional sermon last Sunday where T.B. Joshua berated pastors who ‘forced’ their members to pay tithes and offerings, a video has surfaced of the Nigerian cleric refusing a whopping $1,000 offering.
The clip, which was posted last week on Emmanuel TV’s channel on video-sharing site YouTube, shows Joshua ministering to the sick during his recent visit to the South American nation of Colombia. An elderly Paraguayan lady who had travelled to the meeting from Switzerland is shown receiving prayer for a 60 year back problem.
After she had received prayer, the son of the overwhelmed lady brought out an envelope from her bag. “In here is an offering that she has been saving for a year - $1,000 for your ministry” he tearfully told the Nigerian pastor. “Help me give it to the needy,” T.B. Joshua instantly responded. “These are the things that hinder miracles,” he then explained to the crowd. “It would look like the miracle is exchanged for money.”
How many pastors would do the same, I wonder?
Sincerely, very many spirit-filled pastor would refuse such offerings. These pastors have seen money, its only a few who are in ministry for money that could continually get induced with money.
ReplyDeleteT.B.Joshua made some guessing called predictions that failed to come to past last year and the gullible still call him a "Pastor",I see him as a "business man"He said he saw visions that in 2014 the Chibok Girls would be returned,that the lost Malaysian plane would be found and most importantly he failed to see the collapsed building in his yard that caused the loss of lives
ReplyDeleteWhy are you inviting the punishment of God upon yourself. How many pastors today can you compare with TB Joshua? If you call him a business man. What about a general overseer who ask his members to pay #1000 as gate fee before they can enter the church on watch night to New Year? Just pray for forgiveness of sin.
