In his bid to relocate abroad, we have learnt from a reliable source that some foreign leaders have been jostling to host the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) Prophet Temitope B. Joshua and his ministry.
The continents, as our source put it, are Europe, Asia, Africa and part of America who have benefitted immensely from his ministry. They have been begging him to come over as his personality and ministry will boost their economy through tourism.
In a bombshell announcement that shocked congregants and viewers of Emmanuel TV alike, Prophet T. B. Joshua declared his intention to leave Nigeria and relocate his ministry to the nation of Israel. Speaking during a church service on Sunday 30th April, 2017, Joshua disclosed that he had just returned from Israel after holding meetings with three prominent Israelis-mayors of Jerusalem, Tiberias and the Jordan Valley.
According to T. B. Joshua, they offered both land and facilities in an area around the biblical site of the sea of Galilee for the Nigerian Pastor to organize meetings for international pilgrims. “This is where my heavenly father came from, it’s non-negotiable”, Joshua explained. He said further that “It’s the best place for you to meet Prophet T. B. Joshua. After your healing, blessing and deliverance, you can move around all the spiritual monuments which will establish your faith” he further clarified. Joshua said his decision to leave was not connected to the ‘persecution’ he endured during his ministry.
Meanwhile, government officials, stakeholders and experts in the tourism sector in Nigeria have advised the Federal and Lagos State governments to dissuade TB Joshua from relocating the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) to Israel from Nigeria if he doesn’t want to lose billions of naira.
Mrs. Ime Udo, the General-Secretary of the Nigerian Association of Tour Operators (NANTA) claimed that Nigeria would lose billions of Naira from religious revenue of SCOAN if it actualized its planned relocation to Israel. “Religious obligations have become a fashionable trend all over the world as a means of expressing beliefs and faith in the ability of God to protect and guide mankind. Religious practices both under the auspices of Christianity, Islam and traditional practices have in no small way contributed to the development of tourism in the world. Christian pilgrims to Israel have formed an economic platform for the empowerment of the localities and contributed to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country”, she noted.
