According to the SCOAN, “On Saturday 5th June 2021, Prophet TB Joshua spoke during the Emmanuel TV Partners Meeting: “Time for everything – time to come here for prayer and time to return home after the service.”
It regrettably announced that “God has taken His servant Prophet TB Joshua home – as it should be by divine will. His last moments on earth were spent in the service of God. This is what he was born for, lived for and died for.
It added, “As Prophet TB Joshua says, “The greatest way to use life is to spend it on something that will outlive it””.
The Church extolled his virtues, stressing he is leaving a “legacy of service and sacrifice to God’s Kingdom that is living for generations yet unborn.”
According to SCOAN, the prophet’s last words were “Watch and pray.”
Thanking all well-wishers and sympathisers for their love, prayers and concern at such a difficult time, it requested privacy for his family.
The cause of death of the 57-year-old was not disclosed.
