On his part, Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli, a flutist, said TB Joshua ‘taught me to stay humble, give and believe in God and in the Lord Jesus. He was a wonder to many. TB Joshua still blesses us from heaven. He is part of our lives and we all miss him everyday “

Ihabore stated that they saw the way the late T.B Joshua demonstrated love, revealing that he came across the late preacher in 2007.
“He developed me spiritually through Emmanuel Television. He gave to the less-privileged, he was a man of focus, his focus was not broken and he lived what he preached,” he said.
To Bishop Stephen Ogedengbe, who also spoke at the event, said that the controversy against the late T.B Joshua that he did not have a spiritual godfather as mentor, has been put to rest in the book of Jeremiah Chapter 1 that said that prophets are anointed by God.
Ogedengbe thanked those who he said hated Prophet T.B Joshua so much, but noted that they are not comparable to those, who love him so much.
“Those who love him so much do so passionately, they can die for the cause. He had no classmate in charity.

Pastor Daniel Sewale from Zambia recalled that he visited SCOAN to pray on the altar some years ago, when he didn’t even know how to pray.
“I just prayed to be a better father and husband and the second day the man of God said that someone was here and that the person doubted himself. I came out, he then touched me and my life changed. I am one of his fruits. I wish him a happy birthday,” he said.
