Renowned Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua has
declared 2014 as a year of ‘crossing the
bridge’, prophesying it to be a year of destiny
where corruption would be corrected in
Nigeria as corrupt leaders would go down.
It was an electric atmosphere in The
Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN)
where large crowds thronged to usher in the
New Year 2014. T.B. Joshua came out around
11pm to deliver his much anticipated
prophetic message in a broadcast beamed
live via the churches popular television
station Emmanuel TV.
He first counseled believers to stay steadfast
in faith despite the challenges that would
arise in the coming year.“We are tempted so
that we may pray the more. Afflictions are
meant for our spiritual benefit,” he
encouraged the congregants and television
viewers.
Moving on, he spoke about what was to be
expected in the New Year, attendees listening
with rapt attention and scribbling notes as he
spoke. “This New Year 2014 is not like any
other year in the past. It is a year of crossing
bridge. To cross the bridge, you need to grab
onto faith,” he began. “This is not going to be
easy for the mighty. Many of the mighty will
fall. Pray for them. The rich, famous and
popular people – many will fall this 2014
because crossing the bridge is not going to be
easy; they need God. Many of them believe it
is their own making to be great in their own
area of expertise.”
He went on to decry the effect this ‘fall’ would
have on the business world as, according to
him, “98% of businesses and companies are
owned by these people.” Specifying a field of
business that would especially be affected, he
said the airline industry would face multiple
challenges, leading to an unprecedented rise
in ticket prices, particularly noting that
African airlines would be most affected.
Joshua further declared 2014 to be a year of
destiny for those would ‘follow the ways of
the Lord’.“Many people that are not known
will be rise by destiny,”he prophesied.
Talking about the current Nigerian political
situation, Joshua said, “There will be a
leadership tussle on who will lead and who
will be presidential candidate in APC which
will affect them as a political party. They
should be vigilant. Many are with them in
flesh but not with them in spirit.” Talking
about the current crisis Nigeria’s ruling party
PDP are embroiled in, the prophet stated that
they would ‘pay any price to unite’ but that
the issue of who would be the presidential
candidate would cause challenges.
“Many of the key leaders in political parties
will go down in 2014,” Joshua then
announced to the somber audience.“If many
key leaders go down with 2014, what will now
happen in 2015? Pray for 2015 to be fulfilled.
The beginner is not the owner but the
finisher.”
He then stated to thunderous applause that
2014 would see a positive improvement for
the nation in the area of corruption. “What
will happen in 2014 will result in the
correction of the corruption in Nigeria
because many corrupt leaders will go down in
2014.”
Joshua then prayed for the congregants who
all lit candles to symbolize the dawn of the
New Year. “God has promised that 2014 is the
year of destiny. Your destiny cannot be
changed. This New Year, your destiny cannot
be tampered with. I command your dream to
come true, your dream to come to fulfillment,
in Jesus’ name.”
