Speaking on the Nigerian political scene, Joshua declared
that a minority party would soon rise to significance. “One of the minority
parties will be lifted up and reckoned with,” he told congregants. “Let us pray
for God’s love and unity in Nigeria.”
It would
be recalled that Joshua allegedly predicted the rise of the current ruling
party, All Progressives Congress (APC), in 2010.
Joshua
further called for prayers for Nigeria’s new Agriculture Minister, Audu Ogbeh.
“We have to pray for God to sustain him because much is expected from him,”
Joshua declared, alluding to his earlier advice for the government to invest
heavily in the agricultural sector.
The
cleric also ‘prophesied’ extensively concerning Southern Africa and the
challenges the region would face in 2016, particularly the farming industry.
“There
will be little rain at the wrong time, which is not good for farming,” Joshua
warned. “Many farmers will be discouraged,” he continued, calling on the
government to build “dams and irrigation mechanism using available water from
the sea.”
He
further warned Southern African nations not to yield to any temptation to
surrender their industries to foreign companies because of the challenges that
would arise.
Speaking
in his usual parabolic tone, Joshua called for prayers for the regional leaders
as “the ending of February to April are very peculiar months in the Southern
African sub-region.”
Joshua
further gave a global warning concerning the volatile North Korean leader Kim
Jong-un. “I am seeing an ‘arrow’ from there and it will affect the world,” he
declared, adding that, North Korea possessed weaponry that most countries were
unaware of.
“The war
we are fighting already in Syria is still there. We cannot afford another one
again,” he stated, calling for those involved to embrace peace.
“There
are going to be unusual, uncommon challenges this year 2016 but in challenges,
we children of God flourish,” he added, encouraging congregants and viewers of
his popular television station Emmanuel TV.
Followers
of the Nigerian ‘Prophet’ were delighted to see his return to the pulpit,
claiming his unusual prolonged absence was for ‘spiritual fortification’.
“Can you
see that your pastor did not go on holiday,” Joshua jokingly told the crowd
after he had moved in the midst of the huge congregation, ministering
‘deliverance’ and ‘prophecy’.
The
service had over 3,000 foreigners in attendance, including those who had
travelled from the Eastern European nations of Ukraine and Russia.
Joshua’s
last public appearance at The SCOAN was in April 2015, shortly before his
‘Miracle Crusade’ in the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City which allegedly attracted
over 150,000 attendees.
