I got to know about Prophet TB Joshua some years ago when he gifted a grandma to me and elderly ones in my community, bags of rice, lanterns and some cash. I loved him since that day. But it’s sad to hear that he’s gone so soon. I am pained. Rest in peace Prophet of God. ?? pic.twitter.com/e5KUFZJcJZ

Prophet TB Joshua was indeed a man after God’s heart

He fed the widows & Orphans
He trained people’s children in school
He helped people acquire skills
He gave money to help people start their dream business
He gave thousands Jobs
He never supported any evil Govt

Rest in Peace
