Redeemed Member Laments ‘T.B. Joshua Lies’
A former member of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God named Grace Venn has vented anger at church authorities for ‘deceiving her’ about controversial Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua.
In an impassioned rant on YouTube, Grace revealed that the strong stance of prominent leaders in The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) against T.B. Joshua had affected ‘millions’ negatively.
“I have asked God to help me to forgive all these so-called Christian “mighty” ministers of God for misleading me and millions of people for decades now, accusing Prophet T.B. Joshua and SCOAN to be the devil’s handiwork,” she irately commented on one of Joshua’s numerous online videos.
“Because of the attack on Prophet T.B. Joshua by CAN, PFN and by all these great men of God and the members of their churches, millions of souls like me and members of my family who could have received our deliverance through Prophet T.B. Joshua have suffered for nothing,” she further alleged.
Venn described how she knew of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) over 20 years ago but refused to attend the church because of the warning she received from church leaders.
“I lived just 3 bus-stops from the SCOAN in Ejigbo but I never stepped inside the church for one day, even for one minute. My family and I vowed never to step our feet there because Redeemed church members were ALWAYS being warned by our church leaders who were preaching seriously to us NEVER to go near SCOAN premises and to shun Prophet T.B. Joshua,” she exploded.
However, according to the former Redeemed member, Joshua’s crimes causing him to merit such denunciation were never revealed. “We were never told what Prophet Joshua’s sins were and how he offended anybody to warrant such verbal attacks and curses from fellow Christians who say they know God and hear from God,” she added.
According to her, these warnings against Joshua continue to be sounded by ‘jealous’ church leaders. “Until today, the Redeemed Church and other church leaders in Nigeria and overseas are still warning their members never to go near SCOAN. May God forgive these church people who are misleading, deceiving and hindering millions from receiving their deliverance and blessings from God through Prophet Joshua!”
It is only after Venn relocated to London, UK that she did some personal investigations and arrived at the conclusion that the warnings peddled by her church leaders against Joshua were based on falsehoods.
“What is paining me now is that now I know the value of SCOAN and Prophet T.B. Joshua, I am living in London, thousands of miles away from Nigeria… We allowed ourselves to be deceived and misled because we listened to jealous accusations from these people who say they are ‘God’s ministers’. Unknown to us, they were being used by satan to deceive millions of Christians in Nigeria,” she concluded.
The video Grace shared her experiences on detailed the confession of Pastor Gabriel Ikpenwa, a former Assistant Pastor at Redeemed, who narrated how he once preached in crusades that T.B. Joshua was the ‘Anti-Christ’ before his own personal marital problems led him to The SCOAN where he found solace and deliverance.
NB – A lady by the name of Patience Amaka ([email protected]) sent me this piece, requesting that I publicize it, presumably given the numerous online articles I have written about SCOAN. It is well worth a read! Thanks.

A true christian cannot speak evil of a fellow human being,the holy spirit guides people to work Godly love which covers a multitude of sins.

Have you ever met a starving pastor? A pastor dressed in rags?
One of the great mysteries of religious stoopidity is this. The egotistical god they worship is supposed to be all powerful and have created everything – the universe, Earth, the animals, plants and humans. But this almighty god can never create his own money. The god always needs money and there are armies of self appointed pastors, reverends, apostles, prophets, bishops, priests and Pope who quite happily volunteer to collect the money for the god that never ever does anything is return.
And the stoopid cannot see it is all a scam.

They are just human and behave like any other against another! How many times have we all listened to disparaging lies about others and we have taken them for gospel truth?

what fraudsters many ministers and pastors are. They deliberately prey on the insecurities of people by acting as though they know things that their followers cannot know. A cynic might say for example that that the Catholic priesthood is a very clever and perfect hiding place for social deviants like pedophiles who would otherwise not be tolerated by society. What better way to hide than to preach about morality while depravity flourishes in the background.
