CRISIS LOOMS IN APC -IS TB JOSHUA’S PROPHECY ALREADY COMING TO FULFILMENT?


I awoke this morning to discover the following headline on Nigeria’s Saturday Punch newspaper, ‘Crisis Looms In APC Over Power Sharing’. A brief summary of the contents within is that “the five governors, who defected to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party, were locked in a supremacy battle with some leaders of the three political parties that merged to form the APC.” Although this news is not all that surprising to those with any historical knowledge of and insight in Nigerian politics
, what struck me on a personal note was the proximity of this information to the recent prophetic message delivered by Prophet T.B. Joshua, a clergyman for whom my respect is steadily deepening. “There will be a leadership tussle on who will lead and who will be presidential candidate in APC which will affect them as a political party,” Joshua had told his congregation during their New Year service. “They should be vigilant. Many are with them in flesh but not with them in spirit.”

Some may insinuate that this is an obvious eventuality when considering the pedigree of Nigerian politics and politicians but I however am viewing the prophecy contextually and not from the perspective of an isolated proclamation restricted to a certain season. I started viewing Joshua’s television station Emmanuel TV, albeit reservedly, some time ago under the stern and persistent pestering of my mum who is an avid fan and insisted that I take my brother to The SCOAN because of his inexplicable health challenges. I must confess that although I still maintain some degree of scepticism, my spiritual understanding has certainly broadened through viewing his station. One aspect that captures attention is the prophetic ministry he operates in, something my scientific frame of mind took considerable time to fathom. Joshua prophesies to individuals with almost ‘alarming’ accuracy and consistency during his services which are all broadcast live, the results thereafter indicative of their source being Divine rather than demonic, as many have hastily concluded.
