Ghanaian Bishop Isaac Owusu Bempah, Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has labeled two of Nigeria’s celebrated pastors as partners in winning souls for the devil.
In the words of the controversial Owusu Bempah, the founding President of Believers’ LoveWorld Incorporated, also known as “Christ Embassy”, Dr Christian Oyakhilome (popularly known as “Pastor Chris”) and General Overseer of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet Temitope Balogun (aka TB) Joshua, are not “true men of God”, but leaders of occults, winning souls for the devil.
This claim, according to Owusu-Bempah, is based on God’s revelation to him in a vision as well as his own analysis of the scripture, works and conduct of the two popular heads of two religious organisations in Africa.
Owusu-Bempah said he once heard Pastor Chris saying he saw nothing wrong with homosexuality and lesbianism, and wondered which true man of God would lead his flock with such beliefs.
“No doubt he [Pastor Chris] is a friend and partner of TB Joshua”, Owusu-Bempa noted last week, claiming both men are dubious men of God who have a pact with the devil.
For Owusu Bempah, Nigerians have allegedly realized the dubious character of the Nigerian televangelist faith healer and founding president of Christ Embassy and his partnership with TB Joshua and have consequently chased him out of the country to South Africa, where he presently resides.
On TB Joshua, Owusu-Bempa claimed he once saw him with his feet on the floor preaching, an incident he said revealed to him that TB Joshua was not from God.
“When you see anyone claiming to worship God who worships with his feet on the ground, he’s an occultist. And TB Joshua is an occultist.
“Ask yourself how TB Joshua, who claims God called him, worships with his feet on the ground? Let me tell you if you go to any church and you see the leader worshiping with his feet on the ground, it’s a sign of demonism; it’s occultic. People like that follow spirits that are not of God. It is occultic.”
According to him, God later revealed that TB Joshua was an occultist who did not draw his spiritual powers from God.
“Some time ago, I used to like TB Joshua. I was watching him on television, and the Lord opened my eyes. I saw him with horns on his head, and he had the face of a wolf. His tongue was that of a snake and he had blood smeared all over his mouth.”
“Immediately, I rushed into my bedroom, and the Lord told me that he wasn’t from Him, but was working under the authority of bad spirits,” the pastor added. ”That was when I realized TB Joshua was demonic and not of God.”
The man who has himself been labeled a false prophet by some of his critics, advised Ghanaians not to be misled by signs of wonders and so-called men of God whose powers do not come from God.
He also accused TB Joshua in particular of sometimes faking miracles to win the confidence of his flock. “He can perform a clean miracle today and contaminate it with a lot of fake ones”.
Joshua claimed his “own junior pastor went to his church to be healed. He was forced to sit in a wheel chair and made to claim before the cameras that he had received his healing even though he hadn’t. He returned to the country and within two weeks, he passed away”, Owusu-Bempah stated.
He again cautioned Ghanaians not to be in a hurry to attend the services of Prophet TB Joshua since he is the “anti-christ.”
“If you are a pastor who worked under him and he gets to know you want to reveal his secrets, he kills you directly,” Owusu-Bempah alleged.
“If no one is willing to say this, I will say it: TB Joshua is the anti-christ and an agent of the devil… I know of a pastor who attended his church, and when he should tell you about what he saw, your mouth would drop,” he stated.

its like any man of God who stands up doing his Gods work is suspected as a satanist. Where are Gods people then? watch out. Do you think our God is dead or he is sleeping that he will allow cults to continue messing up with his people? If truely tb Joshua is what these people claim we ask God to intervene let a big thing happen to him so that masses are no deceived further.

Where is your “church” so that I see what you do. This is the problem with so called pastor who have failed to do what God wants them to do. They are busy talking about other people’s ministry. Get busy with your ministry, people will come. Please preach christ crucified. Preach the redemptive power of the Gospel. It seems your church, ekubutukila ingulu shintu TB Joshua atamfya

U r right toka. Some men of God think they r the ones people should follow but they have nothing to show for it. What makes people follow a man of God is not their title but the anointing. My master, Jesus was follow by crowds because of the anointing. God’s anointing always recognizes Jesus as the savior of the world.
ACTS 5:33-39
May 23, 2013 at 9:41 am
Acts 5:33 When they heard [that,] they were cut [to the
heart,] and took counsel to slay them. {5:34} Then stood
there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a
doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people,
and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
{5:35} And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to
yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
{5:36} For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting
himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about
four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as
many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
{5:37} After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days
of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also
perished; and all, [even] as many as obeyed him, were
dispersed. {5:38} And now I say unto you, Refrain from
these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this
work be of men, it will come to nought: {5:39} But if it be
of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even
to fight against God.

He is a good christian. Just see how much he givs out. Here our pastors want to be given all the time. He gives out scholarships, pays bills for people, gives shelter. He loves others. Let Love Lead.

I have lived for over half a century now. I have been through many religions and seen many so called “men of god”, but from the time I was introduced to Emmanuel TV I can testify with my life that truly for once one good thing has come out of Nigeria in the name of Prophet TB Joshua as a true Man of GOD. May the Almighty GOD of Abraham continue to give him more years as he turns 50 this year in the salvation of humanity and mankind.
AMEN.

TB Joshua is a true Man of God. those that are against him are against God because that Man worships the true living God.Where on earth have you ever seen a demon casting out a demon? wash your hands clean and ask for forgiveness for saying such things.beware of such Pastors its an awaking call to all christians.

Jesus said a kingdom divided against itself will not stand; how can an anti-christ drive out demons? He again said true believers will be known by their fruits; show us your fruits so that we can judge if you are really genuine. What we have seen about TB Joshua so far shows us that he is a true servant of the Lord. Even some people who had criticised him have apologised. Let us concentrate on enlarging the kingdom of God instead of fighting unnecessary battles with each other. For us the Spirit of God has born witness in our hearts that TB Joshua is a Prophet of the Living God. Let us be careful what we say about Men of God “Touch not my Annointed and do my Prophet no harm”.

There are two categories of pastors; those who are sent by God and those who imitate others. Those who are sent by God will always speak that comes from God and those who imitate others will always speak about others especially those whom God is lifting up because of their humble service. You will NEVER hear Prophet T.B. Joshua speaking against other pastors and he does not respond to criticism. Instead he preaches about love all the time. When Jesus was preaching about the false prophets in the last days, His disciples asked Him how those false prophets will be recognised, He said to them; “you shall know them by their fruits.” So we have seen the fruits of Prophet T.B. Joshua, that of love and Let Love Lead. Better is not good enough, the best is yet to come for Prophet T.B. Joshua!
