Tributes are currently flowing in for the general Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, who died at age 57.
Joshua was well known for his fiery preaching via his TV channel, the Emmanuel television as his ministry attracts a large number of Christians from across the world.
The TV channel, which is run by Joshua’s church, is one of the largest Christian broadcast stations, available on DStv channel 390 and digitally on social networks.
Joshua is among one of the Nigeria’s most influential and wealthiest pastors whose followers include prominent politicians and business leaders from across Africa and around the world.
His followers were thrown into a state of mourning following the news earlier today.
@DrOlufunmilayo shared: “TB Joshua was someone who actually touched the lives of many poor people. Unlike many others, he was one pastor who actually reached out to poor people and always tried to help them.”
SimNom Barry said: “Daddy, may ur soul rest in peace with the Lord.” [sic]
@Irunnia tweeted, “This man fed widows & orphans, trained people he never met in schools and gave people jobs. He was hardly involved in stupid politics like most other pastors & prophets.”
