The pastor and the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, TB Joshua, has cursed some Zimbabweans whom he claimed are spreading lies about him.

TB-JOSHUAThe pastor and the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, TB Joshua, has cursed some Zimbabweans whom he claimed are spreading lies about him.

The controversial pastor said on Thursday that  if the people did not desist from spreading ‘false rumours’ against him, they would be destroyed.

Zimbabwean media claimed that Joshua had predicted that three of their prominent preachers would die this year. The alleged prophecy was contained in a message delivered by TB Joshua in his church in early April.

The transcript of the message was published by state-owned Herald newspaper in Zimbabwe.

Joshua was quoted to have said, “I saw in a vision a flag, the Lord said that’s the flag of Zimbabwe. In the vision behold there were three trees, but of the three trees only one had roots, the other two were standing, but had no roots.

“The Lord said look again and when I looked the other tree had fallen, and another tree was about to fall. The Lord said take this message to Zimbabwe and tell them, I am cleaning up Prophets in their nation, and the work has already began.

“The three trees represent the three well known prophets in that nation, one who has already fallen and the other about to fall harder than the first.”

But speaking through his verified Facebook page, TB Joshua said he did not make such pronouncements because he was not given such a prophecy by God.

He said, “Good morning, people of Zimbabwe. Our attention has been drawn to false rumours spread by the father of lies which are currently being circulated around Zimbabwe. The reward of liars is destruction.

“We hereby curse, in the name of Jesus, whoever is spreading these rumours. Prophet T.B. Joshua can NEVER and he will NEVER give such a message because our God is not the God of confusion. We should be very careful not to touch an anointed man of God and lie against him.

“The Bible says in John 8:44 that satan is ‘the father of lies’. Don’t listen to the father of lies, the sons of lies and the daughters of lies. 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.”

    Well, if he is cursing Zimbabwe people, please when is he going to curse our own politicians who have stolen our commonwealth and destroyed the lives and chances in life for our young people? Is that not a more serious crime than people speaking bad of him in a foreign land? Jesus said in the gospel of John, that if they hate me they will hate you. A disciple of Jesus is not greater than Jesus unless, of course, if the person is not a disciple of Christ then they can go on to curse as much people as they wish until God brings them to judgement. The bible however tells us to judge all things for many false prophets are gone into the world to deceive many. So, all prophets have to be subjected to close scrutiny but this does not mean innocent people should be attacked although these things come with the territory, even Jesus they accused of being empowered by the Prince of Demons. So, Oga, no vex, no curse them, na so the work of the Lord be. Na only God go back up his people’s reputation.
