June 5th, 2025 — It seems almost unreal that four full years have passed since the world lost one of Africa’s most impactful spiritual voices, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, fondly known as Prophet TB Joshua. June 5, 2025, marked the 4th memorial of this African General of God, a man whose legacy continues to echo across nations, hearts, and generations.
For many, it still feels like yesterday: the shock, the mourning, and the deep reflection that followed the announcement of his passing in 2021, just a week before his 58th birthday. Prophet TB Joshua was more than a preacher, he was a man of the people, a humanitarian, and a global figure whose influence reached far beyond the pulpit.
Born in Arigidi Akoko, Nigeria, and founder of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN), TB Joshua rose from obscurity to become a towering spiritual figure not just in Nigeria, but across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and beyond. Through his ministry, he reached millions, both physically and digitally, performing miracles, preaching hope, and carrying out extensive acts of charity.
What Most People Remember Him For:
- His Unshakable Commitment to Healing and Deliverance
One of the most unforgettable hallmarks of Prophet TB Joshua’s ministry was his unwavering focus on divine healing and deliverance. Whether in the packed auditorium of SCOAN in Lagos or through screens beaming to distant nations, TB Joshua was known as the “Man of God” who prayed for the sick, broke spiritual chains, and proclaimed freedom over countless lives. From the blind seeing to the lame walking, testimonies poured in from every corner of the earth. For many, his services were not just church events; they were lifelines.
2. His Heart for Humanitarian Work
Beyond the miracles, TB Joshua left an indelible mark through his acts of compassion. He championed education for the underprivileged, built schools and hospitals, supported widows, fed the hungry, and provided relief to victims of disasters. His mantra, “The work of charity is the work of faith,” wasn’t just a quote—it was a lifestyle. Many remember the quiet dignity with which he gave, never seeking applause but always seeking to reflect the love of Christ through action.
As the world pauses to remember this spiritual giant, it’s evident that Prophet TB Joshua’s influence did not die with him. His teachings live on, his humanitarian efforts continue through SCOAN, and his name remains written in the hearts of those he touched.
Indeed, it feels like just yesterday, but his legacy is timeless.
