HARDSHIP VIRUS: TB JOSHUA’S PROPHECY ON GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS
Before the advent of the current economic crisis that is ravaging the world like a ruthless and rampaging conflagration, Prophet TB Joshua had, many years ago, given hints of what was to come.
Twelve years ago, precisely on 28 December, 2008, the man of God had warned of an impending economic crisis that would shake the world. In that prophecy, he had advocated for prudence in the financial affairs of men: “There will be economic crisis. You are to cut your coat according to your size. Those of you that have surplus – whatever you can do now to live moderate…The only way you can be saved – if your treasure is in the hands of God. There will be economic crisis – it’s coming and it’s everywhere. You will be forced to be humble.
There will be economic war because there is not enough money to fight war. There will be crisis in the economy. Countries that rely on mineral resources like oil, they should quickly look beyond oil…”.
To further demonstrate the urgent imminence of this prophecy, the man of God raised another alarm concerning what God had shown him about the economic backlash that was to hit the world. This time, it was on 16 October, 2011: “I said to you there would be economic crisis. The war the whole world will face is economic war. You will see every nation, every country will come out, going on the street, protesting. You have not seen anything – write it down. Everyone will be humbled. Those who rely on oil, mineral resources – they should look beyond because there will not even be enough money to buy oil. There is something God wants to achieve concerning this. God wants to achieve humility to the core. He wants everybody to be on their knees, every nation to be on their knees. After that, the solution will come. That is what God wants to achieve. Whatever you have now, cut your coat according to your size. If you have surplus now, please, that surplus – whatever you can do now before that surplus will go away. Because if you have too much, people will be out there to attack you. They will attack you physically…”.
On Sunday, December 29, 2013, Prophet TB Joshua, once again, called the attention of the world to the coming economic crisis that he repeatedly hinted about: “Cash flow – forget it. People will be broke; countries will be broke. A single person can be richer than a country. Your oil – you will drink them. whatever your country has discovered in terms of mineral resources and it has been a source of income – causing corruption, causing fights, people living flamboyantly – those things – nobody will buy them. The price will drop drastically… we have to return to the farm – fishing cattle rearing. This is where we are coming from. We are to return there”.
Even before the outbreak of the COVID -19 pandemic, the economic outlook of the world had been very gloomy beginning with the famous economic meltdown that gripped the world in 2008/2009 when Prophet TB Joshua gave the first prophetic insight about a looming economic crisis.
The global economic meltdown gave rise to the collapse of many multinational corporations, job losses, death of the stock market in many countries and the indebtedness of many countries who had no other choice than to request for loans from financial corporations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and other interventionist agencies around the world.
With the price of oil dwindling and making a caricature of many national budgets that had benchmarked their financial projections and expectations on oil export, it has not been business as usual for oil the producing countries of the world, especially in the wake of breakthroughs in technology which have created alternatives to oil. What this means is that many countries have not and will not be able to sell their oil just as Prophet TB Joshua had prophesied. The world has already discovered other forms of renewable energy, making crude oil a redundant commodity. Presently, Nigeria, one of the world’s major producers of crude oil, has over 50 of its vessels on the high sea, loitering aimlessly with no buyer in sight. The country’s overdependence on its oil wealth has backfired economically.
States of the Nigerian federation have struggled to pay workers’ wages even as the rot in infrastructure has continued unabated. The youth feel oppressed and short-changed by a generation of leaders whom they had looked up to for the actualisation of their dreams. This loss of hope and confidence among the youths has led to the emergence of violent criminal gangs such as the One Million Boys, the No Salary Boys and the Awawa Boys, all of who have unleashed terror on innocent citizens because to them, government has failed and so, they have to resort to criminality, targeting the innocent masses, as a form of transferred aggression for survival.
The COVID -19 pandemic has only worsened the already precarious economic situation around the world. Humanity has been brought to its knees. Even countries that once thought they were invincible to economic challenges are now crying out for help. The coronavirus has made a minced meat of all claims to sophistication by nations who before now had been flaunting their scientific and technological achievements. Many have had to depend on palliatives from individuals, governments, non-governmental organisations and religious bodies for succour in an era when a virus has held everyone hostage with its rampant dispensation of death by instalment.
Prophet TB Joshua, however, has a solution to the economic crisis that is rocking the world. The man of God calls on people to return to agriculture, stressing that it was the original mainstay of world economy but was only jettisoned because oil boom offered an easier route to wealth, selfish enrichment, corruption and fights for resource control. For mankind to come out of this economic crisis as victors, they should embrace agricultural practices like fish-farming, cattle-rearing and other forms of agro-allied ventures. With the present realities unfolding by the day, there is no gainsaying the fact that the prophecies of Prophet TB Joshua have found fulfilment years after they were made in consonance with the scripture which says, “My word will never return to me void without achieving that which it was sent to achieve”. (Isaiah 55:11)
Already, most countries of the world are turning to agriculture, knowing that over dependence on mineral resources such as oil has only led to more problems rather than solutions. Prophet TB Joshua’s prophecy is therefore a timely warning to the leaders of the world to make hay while the sun shines and prepare for the rainy days just like the ones we are experiencing right now.

E‑Money’s Grand Gesture: A Closer Look at the SUV Gift to Chinedu “Aki” Ikedieze
E‑Money’s Grand Gesture: A Closer Look at the SUV Gift to Chinedu “Aki” Ikedieze
By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Published by SaharaWeeklyNG
“Public Generosity, Celebrity Loyalty and the Symbolism of Wealth in Nigeria’s Entertainment Elite.”
On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Nigerian billionaire and entrepreneur Emeka Okonkwo, widely known as E‑Money, once again captured national attention with a lavish and highly publicised act of generosity, gifting a brand‑new 2024/2025 Ford SUV to veteran Nollywood actor Chinedu Ikedieze, affectionately called Aki, during his high‑profile birthday celebration.
The event, held in Lagos amidst a constellation of entertainers, business figures and socialites, was itself part of an annual tradition in which E‑Money marks his birthday (on February 18) with large‑scale giveaways and spectacular shows of material philanthropy. This year, he announced the gift of over 30 cars to friends, staff and family, a gesture that quickly went viral as videos and images circulated across social media platforms.
In the case of Ikedieze, E‑Money’s gift appeared to be deeply personal. During the festivities, E‑Money stood beside his elder brother, Grammy‑nominated musician KCee and recounted how Ikedieze stood by him at his 2007 wedding. The billionaire explained that the SUV was a “token of appreciation” for the enduring support the actor had shown over the years which is a narrative that blends friendship with public celebration.
Ikedieze, a Nollywood staple with a career spanning more than two decades and over 150 film credits, including the iconic Aki na Ukwa franchise, visibly reacted with humble surprise as he received the vehicle, bowing his head in respect and gratitude. The actor later shared the moment on his Instagram account with a caption celebrating the gift, further fuelling online engagement around the event.
Beyond the spectacle, this incident underscores evolving dynamics in Nigerian celebrity culture and the intersection of wealth, influence and reciprocity. Sociologist Dr. Chinedum Uche of the University of Lagos, speaking on the broader implications of such high‑profile gifts, notes: “Philanthropy that is highly publicised can reinforce social bonds, but it also reflects a culture where generosity is intertwined with reputation economy; where giving becomes as much a social signal as it is an act of kindness.” The quote highlights how public acts of wealth transfer among elites serve layered social functions that extend beyond pure altruism.
Critics of such displays argue that ostentatious giveaways, particularly in a country with stark economic disparities, risk amplifying social envy and exacerbating perceptions of inequality. Economist Dr. Ifunanya Nwosu from the Lagos Business School observes: “In societies marked by economic stratification, celebrity largesse may inspire admiration, but it can also inadvertently highlight structural inequities; prompting questions about systemic investment in public welfare versus individual generosity.”
Still, supporters maintain that E‑Money’s annual tradition (which has in past years included cash gifts to his brother KCee, comedians and even domestic staff) reflects genuine gratitude and a commitment to uplifting his immediate circle, albeit within the private sphere.
For Ikedieze, the SUV stands both as a heartfelt gesture from a longtime friend and a public affirmation of their enduring relationship. As the video of the moment continues to circulate, the broader narrative has ignited discussions about the role of private wealth in public life, celebrity culture and how acts of giving are interpreted in contemporary Nigerian society.
In a landscape where influence and generosity often play out in equal measure on public stages, E‑Money’s gift to Aki is more than a headline, it is a flashpoint in ongoing debates about wealth, friendship and visibility in Nigeria’s entertainment and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Spiritual Reality: Wicked People Are Possessed by Wicked Spirits — Dr. Christian Okafor
Spiritual Reality: Wicked People Are
Possessed by Wicked Spirits — Dr. Christian Okafor
…..“You don’t need to offend them before they attack you.”
…..“Your only true help comes from God.”
Demons are strategic and calculating. They detect threats quickly and position themselves to resist any power that may expose or overpower them.
According to the Generational Prophet and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christian Okafor, spiritual intelligence operates both in light and in darkness—and believers must understand this reality.
Dr. Okafor delivered this message on Thursday, February 19, 2026, during the midweek Prophetic, Healing, Deliverance and Solutions Service (PHDS) held at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
The Operations of Demons
Teaching on the subject “Spiritual Reality” with the subtitle “Operations of Demons,” the Man of God explained that when demons possess individuals, their behavior changes. Such people may attack, bully, or resist those sent by God to help them, unknowingly rejecting divine assistance and prolonging their struggles.
“You don’t need to offend a demon before it attacks you,” he said. “What you carry is enough to provoke opposition. The greater your potential, the greater the battle.”
Dr. Okafor noted that many believers misinterpret battles as signs that God has abandoned them. However, he explained that some battles are permitted for growth, training, and divine glorification.
According to him, God may allow certain confrontations so that believers understand spiritual warfare and emerge stronger.
“Some battles are necessary,” he emphasized. “They push you into your turning point.”
He further stated that God does not respond to lies, blackmail, or bullying. He responds to His Word. Therefore, opposition is not proof of God’s absence, but often evidence of destiny at work.
The Weapon Against Demonic Attacks
Addressing solutions, Dr. Okafor described prayer as the strongest weapon against satanic operations.
“Prayer is the license that invites God into your battles,” he declared. “God does not intrude—He responds to invitation.”
According to the Apostle of Altars, understanding the principles and discipline of prayer enables believers to receive divine strategies for overcoming demonic resistance. Without prayer, he warned, spiritual help cannot be activated.
“You cannot receive help without God,” he concluded. “And you cannot engage God without prayer.”
Manifestations at the Service
The midweek gathering was marked by a strong move of the Spirit, with testimonies of deliverance, miracles, restoration, and solutions to various challenges presented before God. Several individuals reportedly committed their lives to Christ during the service.

Kingdom Advancement: God Does Not Confirm Lies or Gossip — He Confirms His Word .” — Dr. Chris Okafor
Kingdom Advancement: God Does Not Confirm Lies or Gossip—He Confirms His Word
“When Doing Business with God,
People’s Opinions Do Not Count.”
— Dr. Christian Okafor
The greatest investment any Christian can make is partnering with God. According to the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christopher Okafor, when a believer commits to serving and advancing God’s kingdom, no barrier, lie, gossip, or blackmail can prevail against them.
This message was delivered during the Prophetic Financial Sunday Service held on February 15, 2026, at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
Doing Business with God
Teaching on the theme “Kingdom Advancement” with the subtitle “Doing Business with God,” Dr. Okafor emphasized that when a believer enters into covenant partnership with God, divine backing becomes inevitable.
“God is still in the business of covenant,” he declared. “When you make a covenant with Him, He honors the terms. When you win souls into the kingdom and remain committed to His work, He rewards you with what you could never achieve by your own strength.”
The Man of God stressed that God does not confirm lies, gossip, or negative narratives—He confirms His Word. Therefore, anyone genuinely committed to kingdom business should not be distracted by public opinion.
“No matter the blackmail or falsehood circulating around you, if you are focused on God’s assignment, those attacks will only strengthen you,” he stated.
He further noted that a believer’s understanding of God’s covenant determines their experience. “Your mentality about God’s covenant becomes your reality. When you truly know the God you serve, no devil can move you.”
Biblical Examples of Kingdom Partnership
Dr. Okafor cited several biblical figures who prospered through their partnership with God:
Abel
Abel served God with sincerity and offered his very best. His sacrifice pleased God, demonstrating that when a master is honored, he responds with favor.
David
David’s heart was fully devoted to God, and in return, God’s presence and favor rested upon him throughout his life.
Hannah
Hannah made a covenant with God, promising that if He blessed her with a child, she would dedicate him to His service. After fulfilling her vow, God rewarded her abundantly, blessing her with additional children.
Peter
Peter, a professional fisherman, surrendered his boat at Jesus’ request for kingdom work. Through that act of partnership and obedience, he experienced supernatural provision and divine elevation.
Conclusion
In closing, Dr. Okafor emphasized that one’s approach to God’s covenant determines the level of success and prosperity experienced. Commitment to kingdom advancement secures divine confirmation and supernatural results.
The Prophetic Financial Sunday Service was marked by prophetic declarations, deliverance, healings, miracles, restoration, and solutions to diverse cases presented before Elohim.
