The demise of the Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, the founder and leader of the Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN) on Sunday, June 6, 2021, cast a dark cloud over the Christian community across the globe.

While condolences poured in from all over the world, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the umbrella organization containing numerous Christian denominations in Nigeria failed to commiserate with the family and the church to the displeasure of Nigerians.

The body only did so today Wednesday, June 9, 2021.

Reacting to the delayed response by the Christian body, the senior pastor of Divine Grace of Glory Church Intl, Benin, Pastor P. I.A Obaseki revealed the Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) refused to send their condolence messages to the family of late T. B. Joshua because they didn't believe in his style of ministry.

According to Daily Sun, Pastor Obaseki said: “Prophet T. B. Joshua, is a man of God, why I think he has not been in CAN or in PFN is because many of the Christian bodies have not believed in his ministry.

“That has been the matter. So when you don’t believe in me, you become one that is doubting my ministry, it will be difficult rather for me to associate with you. “So, I think that is the reason. We have not been seeing him in CAN meeting, PFN meeting, and other Christian bodies but he is a man that stands on his own, that came with a new dimension of Christianity, a new dimension of power according to the revelations of the Holy Spirit to him.

“That makes his ministry to be different and because of that difference, many people misconstrued him, not believing him because the way God manifested through him became what many Christian bodies were doubting and this very caused a lot of issues.”

The clergyman said he has not been himself since he got the news of his death noting that the last time he met with late TB Joshua, he was in the company of his wife.

He called on the family of the bereaved prophet to take solace in God and in the legacies he left behind.

T.B Joshua is a popular charismatic pastor, televangelist, and philanthropist who is known for his prophecies.

SCOAN is a Christian megachurch that operates Emmanuel TV from Lagos.

He died at 57, two days to his 58th birthday.
