THERE has been overwhelming online praise and support for Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa after his decision to take the BBC head on and dismiss the damaging documentary the powerful media organisation made on the late Prophet TB Joshua.
The UFI leader said it was not the BBC’s job to try and judge the late Nigerian televangelist and the basing judgment on videos, which can be edited to suit a certain agenda, meant the documentary failed to prove that TB Joshua had no power, faked miracles or was involved in rituals and sex crimes.“A lot of things can happen, events can change, I do not remember if there was any prophet who gave international prophecies like TB Joshua,” said Prophet Makandiwa.
“He was the first to give recorded international prophecies.“If there is anyone who claims to have made such prophecies (they) must show us the videos“Most people that I know, who consider themselves as prophets, they use physical means to get information about people using physical, natural sources or sending people to collect information, sending people for counselling or from a cell group to collect information.
“Some prophets use information that they get from people and such prophets do not engage in rituals to get information. “You do not need to cut the head of a man and you take out his heart and you eat it raw so that you can get information from social media about a person, the two do not go together.“I am educating you, teaching you in case next time you want to attack a man, make sure that you are reasonable.”
He added:“Even Nigeria and the government confirm that Prophet TB Joshua was a religious attraction, contributed much to the country’s economy and some claim that such a person had no power.“If he did anything in his prophecies or editing, I would not discredit a man of God because he removed something from his prophecies, God removed a lot of things and is the one who started the editing.“God does not give someone everything, he remains with other information.“It’s not everything that you see in the spiritual realm that He tells you to disclose, even the Bible was edited and we were given 66 books.
“Verses and chapters were not in the Canon Scripture and some of the books were added.
“Try to appeal to logic, make sense of what you are saying next time, I do not want to believe that charms give a prophet information when he has disciples.
“I am saying this so that next time, if you want to destroy someone, try to do a better job than this.
“Anytime when you want to destroy someone, sacrifice one side and leave the other because not all of his miracles were fake.
“The rituals were for what, after all his church is not the biggest in Nigeria and in terms of membership. He had few members in Nigerria as compared to other leaders with many members but not accused of any rituals.
“If he was drinking people’s blood for a long life he could not have died, give us the reason for the rituals.”
And, there has been overwhelming support for prophet Makandiwa online and here are some of the comments:
