A Nigerian Senator Praises Prophet TB Joshua

• for his good works of charity, and

• his role in tourism growth
And now abideth faith, hope and charity, these three; but the
greatest of these is charity (I Corinthians 13:13). The life of a man
consists not only in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but
also in active charity and willing service.
THE Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Federal
Capital Territory and The National Patron of National Association
of Disabled Persons in Nigeria, Senator Anthony Agbo, has praised
The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), for its contribution
to Nigeria's development, especially the Federal Government's re-
branding efforts.
The Senator stated that the SCOAN and its pastor, Temitope
Balogun Joshua, have contributed immensely to tourism
development in the country.
Agbo, who represents Ebonyi North Senatorial District, said no
institution in the country, Nigeria, has attracted as many different
people from all over the world to Nigeria, describing Joshua as the
greatest brand any country can ever wish to have, even as he
called on other wealthy citizens and organisations to emulate the
Pastor's worthy example.
The Senator, who said he watched the church’s television,
Emmanuel TV and saw all efforts by the man of God to alleviate
poverty, explained that the number of foreigners who trooped
into the church made him think about any other spots in the
county that could attract such as influx of foreign nationals to
Nigeria.
Prophet TB Joshua is indeed a cheerful giver and one with a
difference. This man of God is really doing a great job of charity
by assisting the less privilege not just in his Nation but in the
world at large. He is indeed an icon to reckon with when it comes
to charity. His ministry is not just preaching the bible, healing and
delivering the unclean, but also spreading the gospel of charity to
the less privileged.
The senator also disclosed that though it was not too long he
stumbled upon Emmanuel TV, he has become addicted to it more
than other news channels, pointing out that the influx of citizens
of different countries from many continents to benefit from
healing and the un-paralleled charity works of the Synagogue
made him happy to be a Nigerian.

The Senator from Ebonyi State, Agbo, also spoke of an award of

excellence.
Senator Agbo said, “He clothes, feeds and rehabilitates them.
Mother Theresa of Calcutta got the Nobel Prize and highest award
in India. From what I have seen on Emmanuel TV within the last
months, Pastor Joshua deserves a national award; not only for his
charitable works, but to glorify God. It is not for him as a person
but to God for giving this gift to Nigeria and Africa.”
According to TB Joshua “If you meet people like that, and you are
in position – you have to help,” He further explains, “You can
move freely, and he cannot move freely. You are to do something.
If you see people like that and you close your eyes, you are
closing your eyes to the blessing of God. If you are blessed and
you want to maintain it, without being a good giver – you are
deceiving yourself, you cannot maintain it. This is why you get
there and you fall back.”
