The General Overseer, Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), TB Joshua has highlighted some of the benefits Nigeria has derived from his ministry.
In an interview with Vanguard, he said the church has helped to boost Nigeria’s tourism sector as well as repair the nation’s battered image abroad.
He said, “In most countries of the world, blacks are disregarded, trafficked, abused, terrified, insulted and blacklisted. But in what the world has seen of my programmes in foreign crusades, we have emerged as the most progressive and fruitful positive image creator for Nigeria and Africa. No wonder, Israel – the birthplace of Jesus Christ Himself has shown interest in having me as one of their citizens with the hope of having my ministry established there. Without sounding my trumpet, I’m seen as the nearest person to Christ in deeds and actions because I’m doing what Christ did thousands of years ago, and as Christ said, He has blessed me to do more.”
“When I rounded up the crusade on November 25 at the prestigious Estadio Olimpico Felix Sanchez, I was honoured with the highest award in the land, donned with attractively golden plaque by the members of the parliament. Without doubt, the crusades succeeded in repainting the battered image of Nigeria before the world due to insurgence and ethnic rivalries. Nigeria is indeed, a world power through Christ. And I’m glad to be part of God’s instruments to making the country a world power through Christ.”
