On Sunday May 22, 2016, Prophet T.B Joshua of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), asked Nigerians to brazen up over the recent food scarcity that is being experienced in the country as it is only a shadow of what is to come.
The prophet made some scary revelations on his Emmanuel TV station concerning Nigeria and the world in general.
In the course of the service, he read out from a transcript, the prophecies he had given during his New Year’s Crossover Service of 2016, stressing on the national food scarcity.
On each point read, he expanded further, detailing what Nigeria and Africa are to expect in the nearest future. He said:
“There will be large scale scarcity, shortage of food. As a state, country, continent, we have to go back to the farm to arrest, to alleviate the forthcoming situation.
“It is only a ‘shortage’ that you are experiencing now; you have not experienced ‘large scale’.
“This one that I am saying now, ‘scarcity’, ‘’large scale’, it’s a proverb. Whatever you can do from now till December – all of your money you will use to buy food – you will not have enough to buy”.
Advising those in the real-estate business Prophet T.B Joshua said:
“If you are the type planning to build a house now, stop it for the mean time. If you are in the business of buying land, stop it for the mean time – look for another business. Stop it for the mean time until February next year. Use that money on the need of people now. I’m preparing you. Get ready; lager scale scarcity is coming!”.
The prophet also spoke about the harsh economic situation in Nigeria saying:
“The president will do everything to reject devaluation of the naira – which is a good idea from a good leader. But there will be overwhelming pressure which he will not be able to resist. Nigeria, we are in a valley. The future is crying for help.”
He further explained what he meant by ‘valley’saying:
“I explained that we are in a valley but it is not the valley of the shadow of death. There is no snake or scorpion, it’s different. When you are in the valley you will cry and cry but you will still get out of the valley.
“You have to continue to cut your coat according to your size. Don’t just continue to spend your money on something that won’t be able to help you. Spend your money on something that the whole world will be looking for – food, shelter”.
Talking about terrorism in Africa, Prophet T.B Joshua noted: “African leaders should quickly arrest the political situation. 50% of countries that do elections, at least 45% of them will face crisis. More African countries will be under siege by terrorists because of pros and cons in choosing leaders. Mishandling of electoral processes will create a conducive atmosphere for terrorists.”
He went on to predict the occurrence of another air mishap which according to him, will be more disastrous than than the recent Egypt aircraft incident: Hear him:
“Egypt has happened and the other one I am seeing is very close and I am going to say the country and the place. This one that I am seeing now is bigger than the one that happened. This one is very close now.
“Every airport security must be tight. You should be careful who you employ to fly as a pilot or flight attendant because they too will apply for this kind of job and they will be patient enough; if it is one or two years they will be patient until the achieve their goal”.
Although Prophet T.B Joshua has been in the centre of many controversies, many people still believe his prophesies, upholding him as an end-time prophet while some others are highly skeptical.
