In a recent interview with Punch, Pastor T.B Joshua talked about a host of topics, including his famous deliverance of T.B. Joshua and his relationship with Heads of States.
Excerpts from the interview below.
On Jim Iyke
Oh please, don’t drag me into that. All I can say is that if a person needs to see a doctor, he should be free to do so. I like the young man. He has been defending himself on the internet. Is he not enjoying a better life now? Are things not working for him?
On allegations he pays people to fake miracles
How much will I give to the president of a nation to come here? Even when they come, I don’t get any financial gain but I incur cost because I want to ensure that they are well cared for. That is all; I even prefer to spend my time with the poor than to be with the presidents. If a president visits this place today, the whole of the day will be devoted to that visit, I would have lesser time for the poor people, who need my attention. God has been warning me over this trend so much that when some presidents said that they wanted to visit me, I said no. I said it would be better for me to visit them in their countries. Each time they visit this place, I receive query from God because of my time that should have been used to attend to the poor and the needy that are waiting for me. One soul is not superior to the other, why should I continue to receive query? Really out of three presidents that may visit, there will hardly be one that will show good example of the counsel that they received from me. If the needy are more receptive to God, it is better to give them more of my time.
Why is it that your wife does not preach like other pastors’ wives?
My wife is a very wonderful woman. She believes in receiving her own call. She does not just want to hold microphone because her husband is a pastor. Men of God need to take care of their children. My daughter studied Law she is doing her PhD in Harvard and she is coming back home to preach the gospel. She loves to preach.

What a wonderful interview MAN OF GOD. I have read your wise answers of the interview and it is so touching that you dedicate much of your time to the poor unlike other pastors who put riches FIRST by dedicating much of their time to the rich. GOD richly BLESS you as you continue leading the followers of the LORD JESUS Christ

I can not qualify anyone and not even T.B JOSHUA to be the true man of GOD based on their miracles because Jesus said,be careful for many will come in my name and will perform great miracles to deceive many.MATHEW 24

T.B.J cannot be judged by what he does. With me my opinion christian be care watch & pray God to open your spiritual eyes, for spiritual things can only be interpreted by a spiritual man. Mind you 666 is 99.9% godly & 1% missing therefore bury your heads into prayer & fasting at the end we be able to know who is T.B.J Amen!
