T.B. Joshua has warned his congregation not to attend the new church or be confused by the similarities between both places of worship.
The new church is called Christ Holy Mountain, A.K.A House of Prayer, but residents refer to it as the New Synagogue because the healing sessions, miracles and mode of worship is similar to Prophet T.B. Joshua’s.
The church is located at Ajata street, behind Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area in Lagos, western Nigeria.
Investigations revealed that many worshippers who come to see T.B Joshua’s church are now diverted to the New Synagogue where miracles and healing sessions are also performed in a similar manner.
P.M News Reports:
Former members of T.B. Joshua’s church have also thronged the new church, it was learnt.
The battle of pastors became public
recently when Pastor T.B. Joshua, during a church service, warned his
members not to attend the new church.
Joshua told worshippers that he was
aware that former members of his church established a church in the area
claiming that it is a New Synagogue Church. He warned members not to
attend or be deceived because the church was not established by him.
P.M.NEWS learnt that the church is
now providing alternative to numerous worshipers who come from within
and outside the country to see Joshua but cannot due to the huge crowd
waiting to see the prophet.
When P.M.NEWS visited the new church,
the pastor of the church was not around to speak to our reporter.
However, a senior worker at the church who identified himself simply as
Godwin, confirmed that the church was founded by a breakaway pastor and
some other members from SCOAN.
He said there was nothing new about members of a particular church receiving a call from God and establishing their own church.
Godwin said even Joshua prophesied that some of his members will leave the church and establish another church.
He said though both churches have
similar ways of worship and miracle sessions, both churches are
different as they have different names.
He said they were aware that Joshua
had warned his members not attend the new church, but insisted that both
churches are different.
