Why he doesn’t criticize other men of God?
- "Despite the fact that many fellow ministers of God daily blaspheme
against me, I refrain from retaliating, because I know the grave
consequences of criticizing an anointed man of God.
For instance, if you are a minister of God, but
deliberately go out of your way to blaspheme against another man of God, whom
you knew is a true man of God, you have lost on or two of your spiritual
powers to the colleague you blasphemed against unjustifiably."
Those who claimed they gave him power
- "One thing that I know for sure about human beings is that if they
gave you power or used their position to promote you to an exalted
position and you start behaving arrogantly, they will immediately take
back the power(s) they gave you or demote you before you know it. I hereby
challenge those who claimed they gave me powers to heal and deliver people
to withdraw their powers henceforth and render me powerless. Let them
nullify my powers if they are the true source."
- "How my detractors should come to think and believe that a man of 36
years can be doing what God has been using me to do with evil powers among
millions of Nigerians without another person being able to do the same
things beats my imagination.
Ordinarily, people should have realized that it is God who is using me to
do all these unprecedented miracle, signs and wonders in the lives of His
people."
T.B.J. challenges the Government
- "If the government wants to know who are the true men of God in
Nigeria today, they should invite all the notable Pastors, Evangelists and
General Overseers to the Tafawa Balewa Square and give each man of God
just ten minutes to minister to and pray for the people. Then with the
miracles, signs and wonders that confirm the ministration of each man of
God, the government will know who are the genuine men of God, and those
who are serving mammon."
Men if God who go about condemning him
- "Those ministers of God who go about condemning me rather than
preaching the Gospel they are sent to preach, are doing themselves a great
harm. The more they condemn me, the lesser their anointing become. Go
round the country today and see what is happening. Those men of God who
used to perform great sings and wonder have lost their anointing because
of their blasphemies."
To those critics who say he is using evil powers
- "It is not possible for a single person to be working outstanding
miracles, signs and wonders which millions of other Nigerians cannot do
and for such a person to be an agent of satan. They – the God’s
generals – should combine forces and deliver such a satanic person or
get rid of him."
Whose interest does he serve?
- "The fact that I don’t collect money from the people God uses me
to set free proves that I am working for the kingdom of God.
If I am working for satan and don’t collect money from the people he
enables me to heal, what then is my gain?"
The rumor that he claimed to be Jesus Christ
- "I never claimed to be Jesus Christ. I can never claim to be Jesus.
There is no amount of power I will have that I will claim to be Jesus
Christ. I am an ordinary servant. Even if I have power to create human
beings, I can never claim to be Jesus Christ.
Who am I? I sleep, I wake, I eat. This is a rumor!"
The allegation by his critics that he doesn’t feed his
congregation with the Word of God, but just give them healing.
- "What is my mission then if I don’t feed them with the Word of
God? The Word is God, God is the Word. Miracles are just a means of
gathering people for the Lord, so that they could be easily touched by the
Holy Spirit and saved by Jesus Christ. My main mission is to save souls
for Christ.
If I gather people without feeding them with the Word of
God, then how do I achieve my mission? Miracles are just a means to an end,
and not an end in itself.
Therefore, everyone who received a miracle received it for
the salvation of his or her soul."
Whether he has ever traveled out of Nigeria before his call
or not
- "I have never traveled outside Nigeria before I was called to God’s
work. By the grace of God, I’m doing what I’m doing because I’m a
promised child. Anybody called a promised child will do what people in his
time cannot do. After him many people may pick up from where he left
off."
Why members of The Synagogue greet one another:
"Emmanuel"?
- "My God is a universal God, so He knew the mission He has entrusted
me with. In order to be able to identify my people, because He knew that
they would spread all over the world, that is why He gave us that name, so
anywhere people greet themselves by saying Emmanuel, they will be able to
know that they are members of The Synagogue Church of All Nations.
‘Emmanuel’, simply means ‘God is with us’ (Matt 1:23, Isaiah
41:10, Romans 8:31). We also shout ‘Emmanuel’ to glorify God for His
blessings and victories on our behalf."
Why he is a vegetarian
- "I was not born a vegetarian. In fact, when God sent be on this
mission, I realized that my work is tedious. I will refer to John 5:37:
"And the Father who sent me hath borne witness to me, His Voice you
have never heard, His form you have never seen."
In a week I deliver contrary spirit carriers (Ogbanjes), witches
and wizards (about 1000 of them). They are not ordinary human beings. Some
are half human and half fish. So if you eat fish you can not deliver
them."
The source of his power
- "Jesus Christ is the source of my power. Without His support I will
fall. He is my strength. He is my power. He is my sustainer. He is my all.
Without Him, I am nothing. I cannot perform any miracle, sign or wonder
without the support of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit."
The Mission of the Synagogue Church of All Nations
- "The Synagogue I know in Nigeria, which God established and founded
and instructed me to oversee, can be adjudged clearly through the works of
healing, deliverances and blessings as "The Synagogue of God"
going by testimonies of people from other churches, places and societies,
home and abroad, who are living beneficiaries of the grace of God which
abides and abounds for ever."
Why his power couldn’t have come from satan
- "If my power is from satan, it will be impossible for me to be
continually and consistently working against satan, because satan is the
source of AIDS, cancer and other deadly diseases which God has been using
me to deliver people from.
If satan is the source of my power, I cannot be working against him,
because that will contradict what Jesus Christ said in the Bible that you
cannot drive out demons by evil spirit."
Men of God how are money conscious
- "A man of God who places emphasis on money or collects money from
the people he heals or delivers will soon fall from grace to grass.
Another thing is that when a prophet of God forms the habit of extorting
money from those whom God healed through him or her, he or she becomes a
partaker of their sicknesses, problems and tribulations."
The secret of his success
- "My critics and persecutors have made me to move closer to God, and
to rely on Him absolutely. I know I have so many enemies and persecutors;
hence I make God my shelter and Jesus Christ my only friend. As for
worldly friends, I have none, because I know that sooner than later, they
will disappoint me. I always strive to do the will of God, obey Him and
follow His directions to the letter. This is why my divine power increases
daily.
I thank God for my enemies and persecutors, without them, I would not have
come this far."
Miracles and Faith
- "Many people clap their hands and applaud energetically when they
witness a miracle. But it takes faith and divine intervention to say to
the cripple: Rise up and walk in Jesus name."
God’s power and satan’s power
- "The power of God is used to glorify God and the power of satan to
glorify satan."
Righteousness and God’s blessing
- "You need to live a righteous life to enable you to claim your
God-ordained blessing. Righteousness brings awareness of God’s blessing
while unrighteousness blocks your channel of blessing."
The need to seek God first
- "First seek to know God, do His will and obey His commands. God is
the source of all your worldly desires be it wealth, peace happiness, good
health and security. All you will ever need to live a successful life have
been provided by God. The key to claim them is to seek first the kingdom
of God."
Temptation and Destruction
- "If you are not above temptation e.g, temptation of money, temptation
of women, you are not above human destruction."
Uniqueness and Persecution
- "If you can do what thousands or millions of people around you cannot
do, you need to watch your steps. People will persecute you. They will call
you names.
But if what you are doing, thousands around you can as well do it, then you
will have no problem. You will have many friends. Nobody will be after
you."
False Prophets and Ministers of God
- "The Bible says that satan will come as an angel of light and his
agents as ministers of righteousness. (11 Cor. I 1: 14)
Be careful you are not deceived by the eloquent preachers and evangelists who
can quote every verses of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. They may be
agents of satan in disguise (11 Cor. I I: 14)."
The cause of problems
- "The cause of problem is sin. When you don't go into sin you don't have
problems. The more you go into sin the more problems you have. So sin is the
food of satan, if you don't give satan food he will not be feasting on you.'@
Identifying False Miracle Workers and Genuine Ministers of
God
- "I think we should leave that one to God who will separate the
sheep from the goats at the appointed time. Though before God does the
separation, there will be a lot of confusion but, He will do it at His own
good time."
Living a fulfilled life
- "Spiritually speaking, every lack is hunger. Sickness, poverty and even
death is hunger. And the permanent fulfillment of this hunger is an
unconditional acceptance of Jesus Christ into your life. When Jesus lives in
you, hunger, poverty and sickness will become thing of the past."
The benefits of living according to God's will
- "God is the source of all blessings, both spiritual and material
blessings. For you to continue to enjoy God's blessings, you must continually
live according to His will and commands.
Remember, the moment you do anything in opposition to God's
commands, you strain your fellowship with God, thereby blocking your channel
of blessing."
Why some Ministers of God have lost their anointing
and become powerless
- "The majority of men of God have brought problems upon themselves
because of their greed for the material things of life. Many have lost their
anointing while some have been demoted spiritually, because of their lust for
money and other worldly things of life.
Those who make it a habit to collect money from the people
God used them to heal or deliver should know that this is a breach of
Christ's command which says, "freely you are given and
freely shall you give."
Spiritual gifts are not for self-glorification, but for
the glorification of God."
The carnally-minded people
- "The carnally-minded people are the preys of this world. They are
susceptible to all evil attacks. For the agents of satan, to catch and
destroy the carnally-minded people is as easy as catching a fly.
The carnally-minded are the living dead among human beings,
and they account for about 80% of the human population. They are the
fornicators, the adulterers, the drunkards, the boastful, the mischievous and
self-seeking people."
Effective Faith
- "Faith means the Word of God mixed with God's Spirit. When you speak
the Word of God and it is mixed with the Spirit of God, whatever you
decrees comes to pass."
True Born-again Christians
- "Whoever is born of God overcomes the world. A true born-again
Christian is a river of life. Joy, goodness, love and peace flow from the one
who has the Holy Spirit of God living in him or her."
Why Christians still have problems after accepting Christ
- "Some Christians still face serious problems after accepting Jesus
Christ into their lives because they live like occasional Christians. They
live for Christ today and tomorrow live for satan.
For any Christian to overcome always he or she rnust be a Christian always. A
true Christian is not to do the will of God occasionally, but at all the
time."
Making friends with the worldly people
- "Some people make many friends who will help them in times of trouble
because they do not have Jesus to depend upon. If Jesus Christ is your
friend, trouble will run from you."
Why he has no bank account
- "I don't save money in the bank because I am not thinking of failure. I
believe the Grace of God in my life will continue to increase.
The moment I start taking money to banks, then I'm thinking
of failure. If you have faith in God to provide for your needs always, you
don't bother to save money in the bank. Personally, I strongly believe that
God will always provide for all my needs till the end of the mission He sent
me to accomplish. So there is no need for me to start saving for the rainy
day.
Why should I keep money in the bank while millions around me
are suffering - can't feed themselves and their families? There are millions
of people around me who need financial help even to keep their bodies and
souls together. I will definitely offend God if I don't help these people but
choose to save my excess in the bank."
His unique divine personality
- "The divine person in me can do a million things simultaneously. I can
appear to thousands people in their dreams in any part of the world to set
them free of their sicknesses, problems and afflictions."
Salvation
- "Salvation is by God's grace. It is not for sale. You cannot buy the
Kingdom of God with money."
Destructive Journalism
- "Frankly speaking, the majority of Nigerian journalists are not helping
Nigeria. For it is unpatriotic to run down what can uplift one's fatherland.
The whites don't do this kind of thing.
What is happening here in The Synagogue today is enough to
make Nigeria greater than Mecca or Jerusalem. The signs and wonders that God
is doing here can turn Nigeria into the greatest Holy Land or Tourist Centre
in the world. Rather than our journalists to encourage these good things
they prefer to publish negative things about the church. However, I am not
saying that all the journalists are bad, many of them are good, objective and
highly patriotic."
Why he usually gives money to those God used him to heal free
of charge
- "Love without charity is no love at all. These people badly need help
as most of them had spent all the money they had to procure cure for their
respective ailments before God directed them here for their bearings. After
being healed of their various afflictions some need to eat nutritional food,
some need money to settle their outstanding house rents while some who had
lost their jobs need to be rehabilitated. As a man of God I cannot close my
eyes to their suffering. I have to do the little I can to help them
out."
His Disciples/Aides' Antecedents and Future
- "Some came because of one problem or the other while some came through
God's call, but at the end of the day, it's not all of them that will be
qualified. They will first serve as servants as Elisha served Elijah. Elisha
went to Elijah to be his servant. From servant, if you are honest and
obedient, it is left for God to choose you as a disciple. God will do
the work of making you a disciple or a prophet, but my own is to train you as
a servant of God."
Judging Others
- "If you judge your fellow being now who will judge them on the day of
judgment? Always remember that we see things not as they are but as we
are."
Forgiveness
- "Forgiveness is a special gift of God, no one can receive it except by
faith."
Anointing
- "There is no school for anointing, it is purely by God's grace.
Need to be careful about what one says
- "Beware of what you say because what you say may influence
others."
On Miracles and Thanksgiving
- "The fact that God is using me to perform astounding miracles, signs
and wonders does not mean that the other ministers of God are not anointed
men of God or that their churches are not living churches. All fingers are
not equal. If you have been lucky to receive your miracle here in The
Synagogue Church, you are free to go back to your own church to give your
thanksgiving to God, because the Body of Christ is one.
All glory and praises belong to Jesus Christ who enables us to work
miracles in His mighty name."
On Effective Prayer
- "Obeying and acting on God's Word is a pre-condition for effective
prayer.
God is ever faithful, He is ready to answer your prayers if you abide with
His commandments.
Sin is a blockage to the answering of your prayers by God. If you want
your prayer to be effective, stop sinning.99
