A Reflection on Trials and Spiritual Calling – TB Joshua

After three decades as a prophet and minister of God, I find it necessary to address the changes I’ve witnessed in the dynamics of my congregation. Looking at the current attendance in our church, it is evident that the past struggles and criticisms have not gone unnoticed. Many of those present today were once critics or had banned me. However, the narrative has evolved, and I am compelled to share insights into the divine calling and its impact on our lives.

God often addresses me as “my people,” emphasizing the profound meaning behind this term. The divine connection with the congregation is marked by the phrase “my people,” signifying a special relationship. This connection becomes especially significant when I receive divine messages and prophecies for the congregation.

Reflecting on past experiences, I recall a moment when I predicted Nigeria’s loss in a football game. The backlash was severe, with widespread criticism and humiliation. This incident taught me the importance of delivering messages in parables, a strategy I adopted to convey critical insights while avoiding direct confrontation.

The protection of God has been evident in my life, and I urge those who consistently stand by me to consider their own protection. The challenges we faced in the past, such as attacks on our transformers, were met with divine intervention. God has revealed the past, present, and future to me, prompting me to communicate these insights through parables to foster understanding.

Understanding one’s destiny is crucial. Operating within the spiritual gift and calling bestowed upon each individual is paramount. I emphasize the need for self-discovery to navigate the challenges of life. The story of my trials and persecution in Nigeria serves as a testament to the importance of knowing and operating within one’s calling.

Nigeria’s treatment of me has been challenging and, at times, unbearable. As one of the most persecuted pastors, I acknowledge the trials and tribulations I’ve endured. Knowing one’s calling is a shield against external forces that seek to bring individuals down. The realization that being the richest person in the world does not guarantee immunity further underscores the significance of operating within one’s spiritual calling.

In conclusion, this reflection serves as a reminder to embrace our destinies, operate within our spiritual gifts, and navigate life’s challenges with purpose. Understanding our calling is the key to resilience against external pressures and ensures that we fulfill our divine purpose.

The prophecy distinguishes the current president as a “Saul” rather than a “David,” indicating that though he may perform effectively, there is a future leader, a “David,” who is yet to emerge. The necessity for political commentary by a prophet is justified, citing the biblical mandate that the government shall be upon the shoulders of the Messiah. The emphasis on the prophet’s political science background adds credibility to the insights shared.

The message concludes with an impassioned plea for the current regime to remain focused on fulfilling promises to the people of Zambia, discouraging unnecessary political distractions and advising against making the opposition popular through persecution, either direct or indirect. The overarching theme is a call for spiritual vigilance, unity, and a shared commitment to the betterment of Zambia.

Zambia’s Destiny Unveiled: A Prophetic Insight for 2024 by Joshua Iginla

Discussing matters concerning the nation of Zambia is not always an easy task when divinely guided insights are received. However, it is incumbent upon me to convey the messages imparted to me by God. In this regard, a call is extended to pastors in Zambia to engage in fervent prayers against malevolent marine spirits that have been dispatched from the spirit realm to undermine their efforts, weaken their resolve, and bring shame.

The upcoming greatness of Zambia is emphasized, and a specific appeal is made to spiritual fathers of churches in Zambia to unite in prayer for the nation. The responsibility of safeguarding Zambia rests in their hands, and it is stressed that the nation should not underestimate the significance of these spiritual leaders, regardless of the size of their congregations. Their authority is highlighted, emphasizing their crucial role in steering the nation in the right direction.

Caution is directed toward political and sensitive leaders in Zambia to remain vigilant and avoid involvement in physical accidents that could jeopardize their lives. While acknowledging the economic challenges faced by the nation, there is an assertion that the current president is committed to addressing and mitigating these issues. However, a spiritual force in the State House is recognized, influencing leaders irrespective of their capabilities.

The prophecy distinguishes the current president as a “Saul” rather than a “David,” indicating that though he may perform effectively, there is a future leader, a “David,” who is yet to emerge. The necessity for political commentary by a prophet is justified, citing the biblical mandate that the government shall be upon the shoulders of the Messiah. The emphasis on the prophet’s political science background adds credibility to the insights shared.

The message concludes with an impassioned plea for the current regime to remain focused on fulfilling promises to the people of Zambia, discouraging unnecessary political distractions and advising against making the opposition popular through persecution, either direct or indirect. The overarching theme is a call for spiritual vigilance, unity, and a shared commitment to the betterment of Zambia.

It is imperative that we do not underestimate the significance of individuals like Donald Trump. The reasons for not undermining him may not be immediately clear, but a recent vision has given rise to some reflections on this matter. I witnessed a peculiar scene involving a white ox adorned with the American flag. Rather than jumping to conclusions or making unfounded prophecies, it is crucial to consider the symbolism and message conveyed.

In this vision, the white ox was a powerful and symbolic representation of America. Many attempted to ride on its back, yet the ox exhibited a discerning nature, tossing aside those who sought to control it. Notably, the person of Donald Trump was observed in the vision. Although he did not claim dominion over the ox, there was a peculiar connection – the ox wagged its tail in a non-hostile manner, indicating a certain favor or acknowledgment.

The key takeaway from this vision is a plea for fair treatment. It is essential to avoid unjust persecution of Donald Trump, as misjudgments can lead to unintended consequences. Just as in the case of Zambia’s past president, his Excellency President Lungu, we are cautioned against undermining and mistreating individuals who may be in a phase of transformation.

In the analogy of a weakened old lion regenerating into a fresh and vibrant one, we are reminded not to prematurely dismiss or persecute those who appear frail. The call is to exercise restraint and provide the necessary space for growth and renewal. Just as persecuting President Lungu may result in an unexpected resurgence of strength, similar outcomes could be in store if Donald Trump is unfairly treated.

In conclusion, it is a plea for prudence and understanding. The words shared here are pregnant with meaning, emphasizing the need to avoid hasty judgments and unfair treatment. Let us collectively consider the potential consequences of our actions, recognizing that our treatment of individuals in positions of power can have far-reaching impacts.
