After high tensions ran through the nation of Ghana in light of T.B. Joshua’s chilling prophecy regarding a foreign terrorist attack, the ‘prophet’ took to the pulpit again on Sunday 17th April 2016 to calm Ghanaians’ fears.
“The nation Ghana took the bull by the horns. The evildoers put together are no match for the nation Ghana.” The cleric stated at his service, which was broadcast live on his station, Emmanuel TV from The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations in Nigeria.
A week earlier, T.B. Joshua had called on the nation to watch and pray, stating that he saw an attack that would come in a foreign way. He gave a call to pray every Thursday, Friday and Saturday for protection.
The prophecy had immediately sparked nation-wide uproar. The authorities called for increased security and safety measures while the infamous prophecy featured on numerous front page headlines on Monday morning and throughout the week.
Commenting on the reaction of Ghanaians to the warning, T.B. Joshua said: ‘I have never experienced that before; that kind of awareness. In the spirit we call it heart to heart, awareness. Awareness is the best weapon you can use. I think the world needs to learn from the nation Ghana’s strategies and tactics. God will never allow evil doers to prevail because it has been a safe nation and the safest nation in West Africa and the world at large.’

Stating that he travels to Ghana all the time and referring to it as his second home, Joshua continued: Every nation has their strength. For Ghana, their strength is that they don’t want anything to happen to their people – they have that security. Not the weapons that they use, but heart to heart awareness. If a person is missing in Ghana it is like the whole nation is missing. When it comes to communication and news, they are the best people to carry it. Just go to Ghana and say “hey” and that “hey” will go all over the world.”
Joshua declared that he had been tentative in the delivery of the prophecy, knowing the nature of Ghanaians: “For the past two weeks, I have been wrestling on how to present this because of the type of people they are as a nation. They don’t joke with news, most especially if the news concerns security of their lives.”
Such assurance may likely cause Ghanaians to heave a huge sigh of relief as events that followed the previous week’s prophecy confirmed the planned terrorist attack on Ghana.
A Malian terrorist who was interrogated in Cote D’Ivoire had confessed that Ghana was their next port of call.
The prophetic declaration has continued to cause heated reactions and nationwide debate. It is perhaps ironic that while authorities such as the Security Council, the National Police Service and President Mahama urged vigilance in wake of the prophecy, some religious leaders, pastors and prophets vehemently condemned the cleric.
Concluding his statements on Sunday, Joshua reiterated: “The evildoers put together are no match for Ghana, so I will leave the issue like that, but I saw the vision. It is not imagination. It is not that I just want to talk and I talk. You know my consistency; my track record.”
