The popular Lagos prophet shared some throwback photos of himself on his Facebook page and story about growing up in poverty and overcoming it. What he wrote below...
"I found myself in a family background that irritated me. My natural circumstance of birth was poverty. I come from a very humble background. Poverty loomed large in the family. The little education I had was through self effort. I know many people with a similar circumstance of birth who did otherwise. They allowed their circumstance to influence their will. Their dreams crashed on the rocks of disappointment, failure and setback.”
“Today, many people blame their situation on family background. Some would say, “I am poor because everyone in my family is poor.” If you make excuses for being poor, your poverty cannot be excused. Remember, you are responsible for what you give your attention to; so it is unnecessary to blame your situation on anyone. Today, it is common for people to blame their failure on their family background, whereas they attribute their success to their personal effort. If you attribute your success to your personal effort, you should also accept the blame for your failure. When we make excuses for our wrongdoing, such misdeeds would not be excused.
“I recognised early enough that victory obtained through Christ was a time past victory. I mean, it is victory assured. Rather than despair and blame my situation on family background, I began to be proud of my situation in order to feel Christ’s victory over me. I became content with my situation, knowing that my situation is redeemable through Christ and that the redemption was a time-past one. I mean, redemption assured. Then I began to take God at His Word in order to have His way.
“Nobody is too good or too bad to qualify for His grace. Remember, it was possible for me to sit somewhere and begin to make excuses for my situation. I never did. Whatever I am today is a product of that conviction that victory through Christ is victory indeed. The rest is history!” - TB Joshua

Honestly he didn't need to say all that, mere looking a him! Damn! Poverty written all over... Thank God for u
Wow!!
Looking like one old sch Yoruba prof
But there are so many other 'acclaimed' men of God that still live in poverty, even with the same faith you had when you were younger. Well, many are called, few are chosen..
Inspiring! May God continue to bless him.
Old skool style...truly, we all have a story to share.
Quite heart rendering story.
I thank God for his life and what he's using him to achieve.

Posts like this make me lose respect for Linda Ikeji as a blogger. Promoting the very people who are subjugating the nation to perpetual hope in poverty while their coffers are filled with contributions from hard working people. TB Joshua, has always been and remains a false prophet,just like the other so called men of god who flaunt riches to entice followers into a belief that by giving they will be 'blessed'
OK WE UNDERSTAND. BECAUSE OF POVERTY, YOU NOW WENT TO LOOK FOR POWERS FROM THE UNDERWORLD AND HIDE UNDER THE COVER OF CHURCH. DONT LET CHRIST COME UPON YOU FOR USING HIS NAME FOR EVIL
