DEATH IN SALVATION

Prophet T.B Joshua

By Ekow Mensah

Four devout Christians woke up on a Sunday morning, took their bath, put on their best apparel and headed to the Temple of Pastor T. B Joshua in Accra, Ghana.

They were sure that the prayerful words of the bushy haired Joshua would bring the bountiful mercies and grace of God and his only begotten son on them.

 What they expected did not include death and pain. It could not have included poverty and general misery. These four Christians could not have believed that the icy hands of death were actually lurking in the Temple of Salvation.

All four and indeed thousands of Christians who thronged that church on that fateful Sunday believed that after T.B. Joshua had re-established his  personal contact  with God the Almighty all their problems would  be over.

These problems could include joblessness, inability to make more money, failure to find wives and husbands, rejection of applications for visas to wonderlands such as the USA and France and how to escape prosecution for corruption.

Some may even have gone there to seek God’s blessings for successful exportation of narcotic drugs and dipping their long hands into state coffers.

In the end four of the congregants got death. Many others had various degrees of injury and sorrow and confusion filled the Temple of T.B Joshua.

Interestingly, when the calamity occurred T.B. Joshua did not invite God through his holy son Jesus the Christ to deal with it.

He or his church called the Ghana Police Service.

 By the way, where had Prophet Joshua’s prophetic powers gone that Sunday? Why could he not see the Calamity? And why couldn’t he prevent it.

 Isn’t it strange that the Prophet of God could not prevent the death of four people who had absolute faith in him in his own temple?

 As a friend of mine said last Sunday, this is obviously a case of death in the search of salvation.
