 TB JOSHUA OFFICIALLY REACTS TO EMMANUEL TV BAN

Published

on

In the aftermath of the news that YouTube has suspended TB Joshua’s popular channel Emmanuel TV, the cleric has reacted to the development, describing it as a “blessing” and calling on his followers to “pray for YouTube”. “That is the work of God! It is like honey; wherever it drops, insects seek and find it,” Joshua stated during a ‘Partnership Meeting’ held on Friday 19th 2021. “What happened is a blessing. I want you to help me pray for YouTube. Don’t see them the other way around; see them as friends,” he added, stressing that many discovered his ministry through the video-sharing website. Continuing his message the following day, the cleric added that such situations should be “expected” by believers. “Whatever we are going through is to prepare us for the future… If you want to be strong, you need hard times to be strong. My message to the viewers all over the world - our struggle makes us stronger,” he counselled. “Every response - take it to God. Every response - take it for prayer. The channel we are talking about, Emmanuel TV, is a Heavenly channel. This is not a worldly channel,” he calmly concluded in a video uploaded to a new channel named ‘Official TB Joshua’. Emmanuel TV had over 1.8 million subscribers at the time of its suspension and its content had been viewed over 600 million times. A UK-based media organisation, openDemocracy, revealed it had reported Joshua’s channel to YouTube over several videos in which he prayed for those with ‘same sex attraction’. In response, YouTube terminated the channel, stating the videos violated their policies on ‘Hate Speech’. The news of the suspension made headlines in international media including BBC and New York Daily Times. The contentious decision led to an outcry from Joshua’s supporters, who have started several online petitions calling for Emmanuel TV’s reinstatement by YouTube. The Nigerian-American Press Association (NAPA) faulted Google for the decision, describing it as “discriminatory” and calling on YouTube to restore the channel and “tender an unreserved apology to The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations”.

Grace Nation: Birth of Jesus Christ a Testament to Supernatural Power – Dr. Chris Okafor

Grace Nation: Birth of Jesus Christ a Testament to Supernatural Power – Dr. Chris Okafor

“No man was involved in the birth of Jesus Christ,” says Dr. Okafor.

 

God’s faithfulness over humanity is evident in the gift of life and the countless blessings He bestows upon us. Therefore, celebrating Jesus Christ, the reason for the season, is both an obligation and a privilege, says Dr. Chris Okafor, Senior Pastor of Grace Nation International, also known as Liberation City.

Speaking during the Divine Intervention and Breakthrough Service held at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Dr. Okafor emphasized the profound meaning and significance of Christmas. In his teaching on the theme “The Power and Essence of Christmas,” the renowned preacher urged believers not to lose sight of the true essence of the season amidst celebrations.

Dr. Okafor highlighted two monumental events in Christian history where God demonstrated His unparalleled power. First, the birth of Jesus Christ—a miraculous conception involving no human intervention. He described this as an extraordinary act of supernatural power.

Second, he spoke of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, noting it as another profound manifestation of divine power. “There is no place in the Scriptures where God displayed such power as He did during the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,” Dr. Okafor remarked.

He further elaborated, “The birth of Jesus Christ is a testimony to supernatural power and divine intervention. This is why we must celebrate and honor this remarkable event, reflecting on the love and mercy that God has shown to humanity.”

A Time of Reflection and Miracles

The service featured a reading of the Nine Lessons of Christmas and a heartfelt rendition of carols by the Great Liberation Voice choir. It was a moment of deep reflection, as the congregation expressed gratitude for God’s unending grace and mercy that have sustained Grace Nation’s global community.

In the spirit of the season, the service was also marked by testimonies of deliverance and miracles. Attendees witnessed evil projections dissolving instantly, the destruction of altars holding people’s inheritances, and the release of miracle babies to expectant mothers.

Prophetic Declarations for the Future

Dr. Okafor concluded the service with fatherly blessings and declarations for the coming year. He assured Grace Nation members worldwide that 2025 would be a year of divine rewards for those who serve God faithfully and truthfully. “The year ahead will surpass expectations, bringing greater blessings in all aspects of life,” he declared.
