VIDEO: TB JOSHUA MADE “AMBASSADOR OF TOURISM” IN ISRAEL
Nigerian Pastor TB Joshua has released a documentary on YouTube detailing the ‘persecution’ he endured during his visit to Nazareth, Israel last year followed by a national award presented to him by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism in the aftermath of the event.
In June 2019, Joshua held a two-day event in the historic hometown of Jesus Christ, which attracted thousands of religious tourists from across the globe.
However, the event held at the Amphitheatre of Mount Precipice was fiercely criticised by local religious figures and nearly faced cancellation due to the intensity of attacks.
“This man is only promoting lies, and anyone who follows this liar is unjust. That is why we ban our people from attending,” a representative for the Christian Church and Pastoral Council in Nazareth stated in the lead-up to the event.
“This visit that is going to be held by this antichrist and wizard – we, the Islamic movement – completely reject it,” noted Osama Haha, the head of Islamic Movement in Nazareth.
“Jesus warned us there would be false prophets coming. We do not know where this man is coming from or the purpose behind everything he does,” stated Father Seaan Bajali, a Roman Orthodox Priest.
“Boycotting the sorcerer Zionist is a national and religious duty,” the Executive Committee of the Orthodox Forum said in a statement.
A protest was even organized with hundreds trouncing through the city in Northern Israel with placards decrying the coming event and people shouting: “Let this witch get away from us!”
Despite the ‘noise’ surrounding the event, it was held successfully with Joshua preaching a message on love and ministering “healing and deliverance in Jesus’ name” to the large crowds that gathered.
“Love for fellow man breaks down all barriers. It melts all hindrances. It dissolves prejudice, misunderstanding and suspicion,” he preached in a sermon whilst a local mosque blared out via a loud speaker, “Do not participate with this wizard.”
A group of religious figures even visited the venue of Mount Precipice after the event and performed a ‘cleansing ritual’ with water, leaves and salt.
However, interviews with local figures after the event revealed a markedly different impression, with residents celebrating the economic and social impact of Joshua’s visit to the region and calling for him to return for future events.
“This is the first time in 2,000 years we have heard the name of Jesus proclaimed publicly in Nazareth,” stated a tearful Nazarene Christian.
The event, which was broadcast on local television throughout Israel and featured in The New York Times and Reuters, subsequently attracted the attention of Israel’s Ministry of Tourism, which gave an award to the Nigerian cleric and made him a ‘Tourism Ambassador’.
“TB Joshua, on the occasion of your visit to Israel, I am honoured to recognise you as a true friend of Israel. Thank you for your support and solidarity, which are deeply appreciated. It is my pleasure to name you as a ‘Tourism Goodwill Ambassador For Israel’,” wrote Yariv Levin, the Minister of Tourism.
“You only need to hear ‘Go!’ from above. Who are you to say no? When God says yes, no one can say no! The noise of north and south, the noise of east and west does not matter. It only promotes,” Joshua explained in an interview accompanying the documentary.
Joshua is the first ‘Evangelical Pastor’ to have held a public event in Nazareth; the only other religious figure to have had such an event was Pope Benedict XVI in 2009.
Reacting to the documentary, followers of Joshua were quick to salute his courage, opining that such degree of attacks would easily discourage those of lesser faith.
“It depends on who sent you,” the prominent cleric concluded. “Above all powers; above all kings. What can man do? Can man stop God? No. Capital NO!”

Prophet Israel Oladele’s Genesis Global 2025 Harvest of New Dimension seeks to empower 5,000 widows and widowers in Lagos
Prophet Israel Oladele’s Genesis Global 2025 Harvest of New Dimension seeks to empower 5,000 widows and widowers in Lagos
…Hallel Night of Praise comes with high expectations.
The Genesis Global Harvest of New Dimension has arrived. There remains something exceptional and distinctive about the life of this esteemed man of God, Genesis, whose generosity and concern for welfare have set him apart and made him stand out among his peers.
Some may suggest that this is no longer news, as they might perceive it as an annual routine; however, it’s breaking news at our disposal because this year’s harvest of new Dimension is already causing some individuals to think in suspense due to the massive preparation becoming mind-blowing and creating a climax atmosphere.
It is undeniable that Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, fondly referred to as Genesis, hosts an annual Adults Harvest that has become a prominent event, characterized by numerous funfairs and jamborees from the Friday Hallel Night of Praise to the Sunday Harvest of New Dimension Thanksgiving.
Evidently, no harvest has ever been planned in this manner in the history of the CCC Lagos chapter, as Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe has redefined and transformed the doctrine of harvest of CCC through his divine wisdom with his Genesis Global family.
As of the time of filing this report, Prophet Genesis’ media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, has confirmed that all hotels within the Dalemo, Alakuko, Abule Egba to Sango Otta axis have been fully booked due to the arrival of dignitaries from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ondo, Ekiti, Kano, and Kaduna, who have come to celebrate with the prophet of God, resulting in potential difficulties for Lagosians seeking hotel accommodations.
A glimpse from the 2024 Hallel Night of Praise, which suddenly became the talk of the town when Prophet Genesis rode a decorated horse from backstage to the edifice altar, changing the atmosphere and shocking many attendees with this experience reminiscent of Lord Jesus Christ’s ride on a donkey, demonstrating Prophet Genesis’ divine wisdom in incorporating innovative elements into Genesis Global programs.
The 2025 Hallel Night of Praise, slated for Friday, 19 December 2025, at Genesis Global City, Dalemo Alakuko, off Duro Ishola Street, Lagos, is highly anticipated by many.Hallel Night of Praise is a specially designed evening of worship, created to complement the adult harvest, providing an opportunity for thanksgiving and heartfelt praise to God Almighty, who values and responds to fervent and sincere prayers – a fundamental principle that has fostered prayer answers, church growth, and expansion within the Genesis Global community.
Get ready for a night of unbridled praise and worship as Hallel Night of Praise brings together a stellar lineup of gospel artists, featuring the host, Genesis Global Choir, Elijah Daniels, Oyinkansola, Tobi Akuraku, CCioma, Erniola Olusoga, Minister Olalekan, Dare Oxygen, Titilayo Euba, and other anointed ministers of God, all set to create a night of open heavens and intense praise, kicking off at 8pm and going through until dawn.
Prior to this event and as part of this special 2025 harvest of a new dimension, Saturday, the 20th has been designated for Genesis Global Foundation empowerment, where thousands of widows, widowers, elderly men, and women will be empowered by the prophet of God through the Genesis Global Foundation.
The grand finale, taking place on Sunday, 21 December 2025, will be a special Sunday of new dimension harvest of thanksgiving, beginning at 9am promptly with various spiritual activities and prophetic declarations.
A statement from Prophet Israel Genesis’ media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, confirmed that the harvest committee has made comprehensive arrangements to cater to the needs of all international dignitaries and attendees, with the welfare of individuals being paramount, alongside provisions for maximum security within Genesis Global City and its surroundings. In addition, this power pack program will feature an awards and recognition segment, where the elderly and widows, and widowers will receive cash grants and food items, and others will receive food items to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.
The statement cited Prophet Genesis, who articulated that the motivation behind this initiative is to empower a multitude of vulnerable individuals without the means to participate in the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth, while also ensuring their basic needs are met.
According to Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, also known as Genesis, in a statement to his media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, the Genesis Global Church Annual Harvest is a time for people to express gratitude to God for a fruitful year at Genesis Global City, and also a time for people to experience God’s power, as testified by previous celebrations.
He further encourages individuals to experience the transformative power of God, as past events have demonstrated that it is an opportunity not only to celebrate but also to witness breakthroughs, divine encounters, and new opportunities. Save the date for the Hallel Night of Praise, from Friday, 19th to Sunday, 21st December 2025.
Why I took a break from music— Denny Zee
Upwardly mobile afrobeats sensation, Denny Zee has explained the reason behind his short break from the music scene. For almost two years, the Epe, Lagos born singer, songwriter and producer had been off the scene, but he’s currently back with a new cut titled ‘Werk’.
Denny Zee described ‘Werk’ as a piece of art that will surpass the records of his previous hits -‘Joh’, ‘Bana,’ and ‘Tender’.
Formerly signed to Nuul Gang, a Sweden-based record label owned by an international DJ, Denny Zee’s career took on a global outlook through collaborations and international releases that expanded his artistic reach.
”I took the short break to strategize, and now I’m stepping into a new era of rebranding, redefining my identity and sound. My upcoming projects — including new singles and a highly anticipated EP — promises a richer, bolder expression of my message: joy, hustle, struggle, resilience, and the unapologetic pursuit of dreams, wrapped in the allure of a confident, charismatic artist who isn’t afraid to show both his strength and sensuality,” Denny Zee said.
He added that “I’m presently standing at the intersection of soul and sound — a singer, songwriter, and producer shaping the next wave of Afro music with authenticity, creativity, and unshakable drive. Open to collaboration and new sonic adventures. I’m not just chasing success, I’m building a legacy, one record at a time.”
Raised in the heart of Lagos, Denny Zee’s journey began as a young dreamer determined to channel the storm inside him. With the support of his musically inclined brothers, he found direction and discipline, transforming raw passion into a craft. What started in local studios has since grown into an artistic identity that bridges continents and generations.
Denny Zee’s sound is an intoxicating blend of Afrobeat, Afrofusion, Afroswing, and Reggaeton, laced with R&B and Soul. It’s music that grooves and moves, but also speaks — balancing rhythm with reflection. His influences — Fela Kuti, Shabba Ranks, Sean Paul, Wande Coal, Burna Boy, and Wizkid — helped shape his sound, but his individuality gives it a modern heartbeat uniquely his.
As both a songwriter and producer, Denny Zee’s artistry goes beyond his own discography. He has written and produced numerous songs, collaborating with major artists including Rude Boy of the legendary P-Square duo and the Afrobeat duo Bracket, among others. His creative fingerprint runs deep across the industry — blending storytelling, melody, and emotion with precision and authenticity.
