‘I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith’ ~ 2 Timothy 4:7
Popular Nigerian Minister of God and founder of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, Prophet TB Joshua has passed on.
Media reports disclosed that the internationally recognised prophet’s sudden demise occurred on Saturday, June 05, 2021, shortly after his sermon during the church’s meeting telecast live on their channel, Emmanuel TV.
The cause of death is yet to be revealed. The great man of God, Prophet TB Joshua was 57 years. He left behind three children and his wife, Evelyn Joshua.
Born on June 12, 1963 in Ondo State in Nigeria, the late prophet and televangelist was known privately as Temitope Balogun Joshua.
He began practicing his faith in God at an early age at school where he read the entire bible and excelled in religious studies and was nicknamed, “small pastor” by his colleagues.

He was enrolled in an Anglican school between 1971 and 1977 whiles living with an Anglican priest at the mission house at the time. Unfortunately for him, he had to face hardship in life following his father’s death whiles he was still in school.
He then left the Anglican school and was made to live with an uncle who was a Muslim due to financial constraints.
His uncle sent him to a Muslim school and that made it difficult for him to read the word of God. The bitter experience compelled him to stop schooling at the secondary level.
He started engaging in casual jobs which involve gathering of chicken droppings at a poultry farm in order to make a living.
During the time he was working, he saved up some money and enrolled in another school where he attended only evening classes because he was also organising bible studies among children around his area.
He had passion for the military as well and decided to join the Nigerian military but couldn’t join due to the herculean trainings they were made to go through.
