HOW TB JOSHUA HAS BEEN PROPHESYING ABOUT THE IRAN ATTACK CRISIS IN 2011

A video from almost a decade ago has surfaced showing Prophet TB Joshua warning of an attack in Iran which would lead the world to the brink of a deadly war.

“Pray for the country of Iran,” Joshua can be heard telling his congregants in a video dated November 2011, warning of a crisis involving them and “super nations.”

“I am seeing an attack, a fight between nation to nation,” he continued, going in his knees and calling on viewers worldwide to join in prayer for “God’s intervention”.

“War is not going to bring solution to the whole world – rather, crisis,” he added. “We should not stop praying because a break in prayer – war will start.”

Joshua additionally warned that such a conflict would be significantly worse than previous conflicts.

“If this kind of fight starts, every other one you have read about is an atom. This one will be an element,” he parabolically stated, adding that such conflict would quickly entangle other nations.

The video comes on the heels of Joshua’s 2020 prophecy in which he equally spoke of the crisis engulfing the Middle East in the light of America’s killing of General Qasem Soleimani.

“An incident will happen to the nation Iran that will cause panic throughout the world,” he said in the prophetic message dated December 28th 2019.

Soleiman’s death has indeed sparked panic with Iranians threatening revenge and fears of a war between America and Iran more tangible than ever.

Prophet TB Joshua releases 11 powerful prophecies for 2020

The founder of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations, Prophet TB Joshua has released his prophecies for 2020.

The prophecies which are 11 in numbers can be described as the most anticipated prophecies in the year.

It would be recalled that the man of God wasn’t in church last week because he was on the mountain seeking God’s face for 2020.

While he was speaking on the 2020 prophecies in a live service at his church, he stated that he got them on the 28th Of December but he needed to confirm from God too.

Below are the prophecies

PROPHECY FOR THE WORLD:

1. This year will be a year of HUMILITY. This year, the Lord will humble us with our challenges. Challenges can be affliction, arrogance, pride, wickedness or bad habits. To humble us with these is for those things to destroy us or expose us. Let us move closer to God.

2. Agriculture will help the economy because the economy will have a backlash. People should invest in agriculture. Let us farm to help the economy.

3. There will be a common medicine that will cause people to be ‘high’ to die, to commit suicide, to think of what can lead to death. The governments of each nation should watch out and put a check on pharmaceutical drugs that come to their country.

4. America should invest more in agriculture because their economy will be affected. The economy they see today will be affected, so they should invest in agriculture and encourage their farmers. Also, approach to the security issue will affect the candidates and swing voters in the next election. It will be tough in the election. They should pray against a recount. It may be too tight.

5. Let us pray for the Nigerian government to be able to finish this year without an interlude that will cause a situation of for and against. Join me in praying for my nation.

6. Vice President, it is not yet over. Expect much more pressure. The pressure will be so much. I pray you will be able to stand the pressure. We join you in prayer.

7. Many sicknesses and diseases that leaders have been treating privately will surface this year. They will become bedridden and many will not make it.

8. Russia should pray for their leader to avert his being on the sickbed. Something will surface. There is a ladder to go up – if this is averted.

9. An incident will happen to the nation Iran that will cause panic throughout the world. We are praying to know the mind of God concerning this.

10. Work of God – people will be getting tired this year because the work of God is not by power and might; because of so many challenges, tribulations and burdens they will not be able to bear.

11. United Kingdom – there will be agitation from a section that wants to leave; that will become an issue. Also, pray for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh against going in and out of the hospital; pray for God to give them revival. Pray for unity and understanding among the Royal Family – because of what I am seeing. Brexit needs more time to stand on its feet – with more co-operation of the EU leaders. If not, there will be economic repercussions and the cost of things will become unbearable. With time and preparation, all will be well.

2020: Prophet TB Joshua goes to the Mountain to seek God’s face

One of Nigeria’s foremost and internationally recognized Man of God, Prophet TB Joshua, the founder of Synagogue Church of all nations(SCOAN) has relocated to the mountain in order to seek God’s face and direction for 2020.

This was announced during a live service at his church in Lagos by one of his ministers , Prophet Racine, who read a letter to the congregation that cut across all nations and explaining why TB Joshua was not in service .

The minister who was with Prophet TB Joshua earlier at the mountain stated that he and some other ministers had to return from the mountain for the church service but the man of God had to stay back because God has not released him and also because of the things he saw ahead of 2020.

He said even though he isn’t in their midst physically, he was there spiritually because there is need for him to seek God’s face towards the coming year.

“The man of God Prophet TB Joshua will not be in our midst physically because he is at the prayer mountain. Take note of the word ‘physically’ – in body he will not be here but he is with us in spirit.

We too were at the mountain. We only returned for the service – but he remained behind. He is concerned about all that is about to happen in the New Year ahead around the world’’

He did a flashback to January 2019 when the Man Of God went to the mountain to pray and seek God’s sake for the year, making it known that all what God showed him came to pass.

‘’ Remember what God showed him in the same mountain at the beginning of this year – what would happen. Now he is back there to know what will happen next year. Let us listen to what God showed him.

This has been played thousands of times on Emmanuel TV. When it was playing at the beginning from January 4th, you were not taking it seriously. Today, you and I will agree that this year is so fearful’’

Afterwards, a video of Prophet TB Joshua on the mountain was played. It was reinstated that the man of God has the whole world in mind and it was due to this reason that he was absent from the church service.

With the Each One Teach One initiative, you don’t need a huge sum of money, you just need to give of your time and talent to at least one other person. It is simple. It is effective and the impact is ginormous imagine how many people across 20 countries in Africa benefitted today from someone just taking a little time to help them acquire new skills or hone old ones. There is something really gratifying about giving back. It helps the communities and helps you grow as an individual.’ Said Atta

Thousands of UBA staff members across Africa voluntarily committed their time today to teaching youths various activities such as foreign languages, photography, tae kwon do, fashion design, martial arts, first aid, coking, hair dressing, mathematics, reading, music and much more.
