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.
