TB Joshua pens down touching note in remembrance of Synagogue collapsed building “Those who try to kill us are only helping us to go home and rest. But those who send us home will go into further conflict”
interestingly, the sad incident at the synagogue demolishes building Will clock 4 years on Wednesday, September 12th, 2018. And four years after, the truth as Stated from the man at Synagogue, Prophet T. B Joshua has remained constant . As the world remembers the unfortunate incident today, Prophet TB Joshua penned some touching words which is revealing :
THOSE WHO TRY TO KILL US ARE ONLY HELPING US TO GO HOME AND REST
IN MEMORY OF THE MARTYRS OF FAITH (SEPTEMBER 12, 2014)
“Whether we die young or old, what matters is the grace to continue living hereafter. It is now four years since our beloved brothers and sisters slept in the Lord. We must realise that their death is an unavoidable call – a call to our Heavenly home that no one can disobey.
Jesus said that if you do not take up your cross and deny yourself daily and perhaps even get killed for your belief in Him, you are not worthy of Him (Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24). The level at which satan attacks us seems to be equal to the level of our commitment to the Lord. I don’t think enough people understand this. If you are totally committed to God, He will take up satan’s challenge against you.
As soon as we make a true conversion, a commitment asking Jesus to purchase us, we become Jesus’ property. Then satan hates us the same way he hates Jesus. That is why the moment we are truly saved, we are engaged in a phenomenal battle (John 15:18-22). We cannot separate warfare from salvation. True salvation is going to put you into direct conflict with satan.
Many of us would say, “Why should I suffer or die? After all, Jesus won the victory on the Cross and suffered for me?” But the question we need to ask ourselves is, “What did Jesus say?” He said, “I have said unto you, the servant is not greater than his Master. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you” (John 15:20).
Anyone who claims that he does not have to suffer because Jesus did it for him is indirectly saying that he is greater than his Master. He is actually contradicting what Jesus said. Basically, we need to give up our lives here on earth and gain eternal life in Heaven. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we are accepting citizenship in Heaven and death here on earth.
Once Christ purchases us, we become aliens here on earth and there is a barrier between us and everything here on earth. We are servants, we simply obey the command of our Master. We do not decide what suffering we must bear.
Many people have been serving the Lord fervently and have come into difficult life situations because of being mistreated by either wicked men or carnal Christians. The truth is that they have been treated unjustly. But to become offended would only fulfil the enemy’s purpose of getting them out of the will of God. If you stay free from offence, you will stay in God’s will. If you become offended, you will be taken captive by the enemy to fulfil his own purpose and will.
If we are Christ’s followers, we must follow His example. If He could forgive the people who were killing Him, we can certainly find a way to forgive those who hurt us. When we cannot forgive, we hurt ourselves more than anyone. Nursing a grudge damages our heart. Life is too short to waste our time on things that have no lasting value or significance.
From eternity’s perspective, death is not a period; it is only a comma because of Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. When a believer dies, he goes into glory, where there is no conflict. Heaven is our home. A man may die young yet be satisfied with living but a wicked man is not satisfied even with long life.
Those who try to kill us are only helping us to go home and rest. But those who send us home will go into further conflict; they will have more questions to answer than when they were alive. The wicked seem to prosper now and live without a care but they will spend eternity in terror and despair.
How can we honour the memory of the martyrs of faith? Endeavour by the grace of God to live for the Lord and give yourself to the needs of others.
Romans 14:8 – “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”
What a blessed memorial!
How do I end this write-up? Here, I drop my pen.”
Prophet T.B. Joshua

Sahara Reporters Lied! Pastor O.C Benjamin Denies Ever Meeting Apostle Suleman In Viral Video
Sahara Reporters Lied! Pastor O.C. Benjamin Denies Ever Meeting Apostle Suleman In Viral Video
Pastor O.C Benjamin of the Fulfillers House Church Assemble has described as “lie from the pit of hell” a story published by an online publication, Sahara Reporters, that he was used to stage a miracle by the Omega Fire Ministry’s General Overseer, Apostle Johnson Suleman, to “raise the dead”.
In a video that has gone viral online, Apostle Benjamin punctured Sahara Reporters’ story declaring that he has never met Apostle Johnson Suleman in person, let alone being used by him to stage a miracle.
According to Apostle O.C. Benjamin in the viral video;
“God bless you, ladies and gentlemen. Apostle Ozi Benjamin is his name. Lately, my attention was drawn to a news item that has been flying on the internet that I, Apostle Ozi Benjamin said that Prophet (Prof.) Apostle Johnson Suleman gave me a substance with which I injected a dead person, and the dead person came back to life. I want the general public to please neglect such news.
I have never met with Apostle Johnson Suleman; Apostle Johnson Suleman does not even know me in person. I only watch him online preaching from a distance. This is propaganda from the pit of hell. Usually, anytime there are criticisms or propaganda against my person on the internet, I don’t respond. I am responding to this latest one because they’re trying to drag me into collision with Apostle Johnson Suleman.
This does not have anything to do with Apostle Johnson Suleman. I want everyone to disregard this news. I wonder what kind of lie this is.
I had never handled a syringe before, let alone injected someone. I want the general public to please neglect such news. It is a pure lie, balderdash. And all those spreading such a news, one day God’s judgement is going to rest upon you.”

Timothy Omotoso Released After Lengthy Trial as Gqeberha High Court Delivers Judgment. By George Omagbemi Sylvester
Sahara Weekly Reports That Timothy Omotoso, a Nigerian pastor and leader of the Jesus Dominion International (JDI) church, was arrested in April 2017 on multiple charges, including racketeering, trafficking in persons, rape, and sexual assault. His arrest led to a protracted legal battle that spanned nearly eight years, marked by numerous delays and legal maneuvers. As of April 2, 2025, the Gqeberha High Court is scheduled to deliver judgment in his case.
Background and Arrest
Omotoso’s JDI church had major branches in South Africa, Nigeria, and Israel, with its headquarters in Durban, South Africa. He was often referred to as “the man of God” by his followers. The allegations against him and his co-accused, Lusanda Sulani and Zikiswa Sitho, involved recruiting congregants, employees, or individuals under the pretext of offering spiritual benefits or improving their quality of life. These individuals were allegedly transported to various locations, including Durban, Israel, or Nigeria, where they were subjected to strict control and, in some cases, sexual exploitation.
Legal Proceedings and Delays
The trial faced numerous delays since the arrest in April 2017. Omotoso made multiple applications for a mistrial, citing prosecutorial misconduct and other issues. In October 2023, the Gqeberha High Court dismissed an application for discharge brought by Omotoso and his co-accused. However, the court acquitted them of almost half of the charges, reducing the number from 63 to 32. The remaining charges included several counts of rape and sexual assault.
The delays in the trial led to some witnesses withdrawing from the case, indicating they had moved on with their lives and were not interested in reliving their experiences in court. This contributed to the reduction of charges. Despite these challenges, the prosecution remained committed to finalizing the case and serving justice for the victims.
Current Status
As of April 2, 2025, the Gqeberha High Court is set to deliver judgment in the case against Omotoso and his co-accused. The outcome will determine their legal standing and potential sentencing. Omotoso has been denied bail throughout the trial, while Sulani and Sitho have been out on bail.
Conclusion
The case of Timothy Omotoso has been a complex and lengthy legal battle, highlighting challenges in the judicial process, especially concerning cases involving multiple jurisdictions and sensitive allegations. The scheduled judgment on April 2, 2025, is a significant milestone in this protracted case, potentially bringing closure to the involved parties.
