Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has labeled two of
Nigeria’s celebrated pastors as partners in winning souls for the devil.
In the words of the controversial Owusu Bempah, the founding
President of Believers’ LoveWorld Incorporated, also known as “Christ
Embassy”, Dr Christian Oyakhilome (popularly known as “Pastor Chris”)
and General Overseer of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN),
Prophet Temitope Balogun (aka TB) Joshua, are not “true men of God”, but
leaders of occults, winning souls for the devil.

This claim, according to Owusu-Bempah, is based on God’s revelation
to him in a vision as well as his own analysis of the scripture, works
and conduct of the two popular heads of two religious organisations in
Africa.

Owusu-Bempah said he once heard Pastor Chris saying he saw nothing
wrong with homosexuality and lesbianism, and wondered which true man of
God would lead his flock with such beliefs.

“No doubt he [Pastor Chris] is a friend and partner of TB Joshua”,
Owusu-Bempa noted last week, claiming both men are dubious men of God
who have a pact with the devil.

For Owusu Bempah, Nigerians have allegedly realized the dubious
character of the Nigerian televangelist faith healer and founding
president of Christ Embassy and his partnership with TB Joshua and have
consequently chased him out of the country to South Africa, where he
presently resides.

On TB Joshua, Owusu-Bempa claimed he once saw him with his feet on
the floor preaching, an incident he said revealed to him that TB Joshua
was not from God.

“Ask yourself how TB Joshua, who claims God called him, worships
with his feet on the ground? Let me tell you if you go to any church and
you see the leader worshiping with his feet on the ground, it’s a sign
of demonism; it’s occultic. People like that follow spirits that are not
of God. It is occultic.”

According to him, God later revealed that TB Joshua was an occultist who did not draw his spiritual powers from God.
“Some time ago, I used to like TB Joshua. I was watching him on
television, and the Lord opened my eyes. I saw him with horns on his
head, and he had the face of a wolf. His tongue was that of a snake and
he had blood smeared all over his mouth.”

“Immediately, I rushed into my bedroom, and the Lord told me that
he wasn’t from Him, but was working under the authority of bad spirits,”
the pastor added. “That was when I realized TB Joshua was demonic and
not of God.”

The man who has himself been labeled a false prophet by some of his
critics, advised Ghanaians not to be misled by signs of wonders and
so-called men of God whose powers do not come from God.

He also accused TB Joshua in particular of sometimes faking
miracles to win the confidence of his flock. “He can perform a clean
miracle today and contaminate it with a lot of fake ones”.

Joshua claimed his “own junior pastor went to his church to be
healed. He was forced to sit in a wheel chair and made to claim before
the cameras that he had received his healing even though he hadn’t. He
returned to the country and within two weeks, he passed away”,
Owusu-Bempah stated.

He again cautioned Ghanaians not to be in a hurry to attend the services of Prophet TB Joshua since he is the “anti-christ.”
“If you are a pastor who worked under him and he gets to know you
want to reveal his secrets, he kills you directly,” Owusu-Bempah
alleged.

“If no one is willing to say this, I will say it: TB Joshua is the
anti-christ and an agent of the devil… I know of a pastor who attended
his church, and when he should tell you about what he saw, your mouth
would drop,” he stated.
