Benson Andrew Idahosa was a Charismatic Pentecostal preacher who founded the Church of God Mission International. He was popularly known as the father of Pentecostalism in Nigeria. Many years before he died in 1998, some overzealous pastors came together and reported TB Joshua to him.
They said, “Your Lordship, the great and mighty miracles being carried out by TB Joshua are scary and unimaginable, we don’t know who called him to Christ.” The pastors concluded, “Let’s banished and excommunicate him from among us.”
In his simple reply, the Archbishop Isahosa said, “Leave TB Joshua alone, God has not told me anything contrary, if he is not from God, he will not survive the next 7 years neither will he be alive. But if he survives, truly he is from God and shall be the greatest.”
Over 23 years, TB Joshua and his ministry lived on till he died on June 5, 2021.
Matthew 7:20 says, “Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” The fruits of one’s ministry are its greatest endorsement. If a false teacher or prophet ministers carnally and not led by the Holy Spirit, it will fail.
In Acts 5, when Apostles John and Peter were persecuted by the high priest, who were members of the party of the Sadducees due to jealousy, Gamaliel, a Jewish rabbi advised the religious council in Acts 5:38-39 as follows:
_“Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”_
John 14:11, "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake."
