Prophet TB Joshua spits fire, denies Zim prophecy rumour

An angry statement has been released by Prophet T.B. Joshua's official Facebook Page denying the rumour being circulated across the nation that he prophesied the imminent downfall of three Zimbabwean prophets.

"Good morning, people of Zimbabwe," the strongly worded statement begins. "Our attention has been drawn to false rumours spread by the father of lies currently being circulated around Zimbabwe. The reward of liars is destruction."

Stating that whoever is behind such rumours would attract a curse and God's wrath, The SCOAN insisted the popular Nigerian cleric never gave the message attributed to him in a WhatsApp message that went viral.

"Prophet T.B. Joshua can NEVER and he will NEVER give such a message because our God is not the God of confusion," the message on Joshua's Facebook page followed by 1.5 million people read. "We should be very careful not to touch an anointed man of God and lie against him."

The statement concluded with an advice not to jump to hasty conclusions based on hearsay. "Do not sit somewhere, hear this or that and come to a hasty conclusion. God requires that we find out the truth from Him first and hold fast to that which is true, as the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:21. God bless Zimbabwe."

After the circulation of the message, it was widely thought that the three prophets in question referred to Uebert Angel, Emmanuel Makandiwa and Walter Magaya.

Hundreds of comments from Zimbabweans flooded Joshua's Facebook page, thanking him for the clarification and bemoaning the source of the rumour who was clearly out to 'bring disunity in the body of Christ'.
