Pastor TB Joshua has finally lent his voice on the much-talked-about Jim Iyke deliverance that held in his church months ago. In a recent interview
with Punch, TB Joshua of SCOAN – Synagogue Church Of All Nation – cleared the air on Jim Iyke’s deliverance and other allegations that he pays people to
come and fake miracles. See excerpts below:
On Jim Iyke Oh please, don’t drag me into that. All I can say is that if a person
needs to see a doctor, he should be free to do so. I like the young man.
He has been defending himself on the internet. Is he not enjoying a
better life now? Are things not working for him?On allegations he pays people to fake miracles
How
much will I give to the president of a nation to come here? Even when
they come, I don’t get any financial gain but I incur cost because I want to
ensure that they are well cared for. That is all; I even prefer to
spend my time with the poor than to be with the presidents. If a
president visits this place today, the whole of the day will be devoted
to that visit, I would have lesser time for the poor people, who need my
attention. God has been warning me over this trend so much that when
some presidents said that they wanted to visit me, I said no. I said it
would be better for me to visit them in their countries. Each time they
visit this place, I receive query from God because of my time that
should have been used to attend to the poor and the needy that are
waiting for me. One soul is not superior
to the other, why should I continue to receive query? Really out of
three presidents that may visit, there will hardly be one that will show
good example of the counsel that they received from me. If the needy are more receptive to God, it is better to give them more of my time.
Why is it that your wife does not preach like other pastors’ wives?My wife is a very wonderful woman. She
believes in receiving her own call. She does not just want to hold
microphone because her husband is a pastor.Men of God need to take care of their
children. My daughter studied Law she is doing her PhD in Harvard and
she is coming back home to preach the gospel. She loves to preach.
