On Sunday 4th January 2015, Prophet T.B. Joshua revealed to his congregation at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos the secret behind his good health – lots of water!
“Blessing without good health is a crisis because you cannot enjoy it,” Joshua began in his message televised live on Christian network Emmanuel TV.
He explained that he had received numerous emails questioning how he was able to sustain his good health over the years as he had never been seen absent during a church service, neither had there been reports of his travelling abroad for medical treatment.
“We are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body,” the cleric informed his listeners, referring them to the Scriptures in 1 Thessalonians 5:22-23. “The same body can get sick or tired and needs attention.”
He further clarified, “The natural and the spiritual must function together. For the natural to function, you must take care of the body.”
Joshua went on to reveal a habit he says he has cultivated over the course of many years. “Before my morning prayer or immediately after my morning prayer – I am talking of 4am, 5am or 6am in the morning – I will take a 150cl bottle of water, pour it into a cup and in under two to three minutes, I make sure that I finish it.”
According to him, the secret behind this is not to drink when feeling thirsty, as most would do today. “I am not drinking it because I am thirsty. I am drinking it for a purpose – to flush my system,” he admonished the crowd.
The pastor added that people should take another smaller 75cl bottle of water between 2-3pm and another one around 5-6pm. “This should replace all sugary drinks and tea if you want to have a good life,” he advised.
He also clarified that the water should be room-temperature, not icy or cold, further explaining that tap water could as well be used if people did not have sufficient resources to purchase bottled water.
Joshua stated the benefits of this habit were multiple although it would be difficult to cultivate at the beginning. He claimed such regular intake of water would moderate eating habits, foster growth of natural hair and purify the skin.
“God has given us everything we need to live a good life but we are ignorant,” he concluded, stressing that people would share testimonies in their health if they followed this advice.

It is sad that we still have people who feel and think that prophet TB Joshua is satan in a sheeps skin.TB is a real man of GOD and whoever is speaking against him is actually speaking against GOD because he is a servant of GOD sent to deliver this generation.TB Joshua has so many forces against him,some individuals,some christians,some pastors,the devil and his followers and many more,and their aim is to pull him down and bring the name of GOD to shame,but He cannot allow His name to be put to shame by the devil.That is why prophet TB Joshua is still standing todate.Prophet TB Joshua is a blessing not only to Zambia but Africa and the whole world.Christian from Zambia.

May GOD have mercy on you all who say bad about His anointed servant. But remember that scripture which says touch not my anointed ones and do my Prophets no harm. Mind you T.B Joshua is GOD’s anointed servant and Prophet, eeeyi!!!! Am feeling a very BIG sorry for you. May GOD help you to remove that 12inch black blanket on your face in Jesus name, amen.

my brothers and sisters, Please refrain from insulting the man of God Prophet TB Joshua. he id a real man of God and since I started praying along with him, my life has seen blessing upon blessing. Those who call him evil names are just cursing themselves. Prophet TB Joshua does not deserve all those insults, he is very humble and down to earth and does not boast at all. Please stop all those insults before God strikes you down!!
