T.B. Joshua donates 4,000 ‘Anointing Water’ to Sierra Leone,
Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua announced in his
service today that 4,000 bottles of his
‘Anointing Water’ had reached Sierra Leone and
were received by ‘government officials’, to
spiritually fortify the country in their fight
against the deadly disease, Ebola.

According to the outspoken pastor, a private jet
was chartered to the tune of $50,000 to convey the
spiritual items to the Ebola-stricken nation
yesterday.

An additional $50,000 was also given in
humanitarian aid to the victims of the disease,
courtesy of Joshua and his ‘Emmanuel TV
Partners’.

Before ministering to foreign visitors at his
‘prayer line’ service, Joshua then gave a
stern warning to Nigeria about the way the Ebola
crisis was being handled.

“Ebola is not Nigeria's challenge,” he began.
“Our challenge is insecurity. It is a strange
ailment. That someone from another country for an
ECOWAS meeting and died of Ebola does not mean
Nigeria is not safe," he stated, adding that
fear-mongering in the media was only making
matters worse.

“To the extent we talk bad about Nigeria, to
that same extent our name is destroyed,” the
cleric defiantly continued, bemoaning the name
Nigeria was being given in the international
community because of the news projected.

“This is a country under repair because of what
Boko Haram has done to the nation. Don’t damage
it more. This nation is safe. If there is any
challenge, we have what it takes to surmount
it,” he stated, calling on Nigerians to learn
from the way Ghana protected the name of their
nation.

He added that two deaths recorded in the most
populated African country from Ebola did not merit
a state of emergency as announced by President
Goodluck Jonathan. “All of this is
propaganda,” Joshua angrily stated.

“When a little thing happens, you exaggerate it
because you are looking for funds. How much can
the international community give to us that can
redeem the name Nigeria we are soiling? A beggar
always remains a beggar. Africa, stop begging –
you have what it takes to solve your problems.”


Joshua further decried the news that some African
nations had closed their borders to the countries
affected by the Ebola outbreak, stating that it
negated the premise of African unity.

“What is the meaning of African unity? The wound
of an African is the wound of all Africans. The
wound of one is the wound of all. A nation that
stands to solve the problem of other nations will
become successful,” he added.

“We should rise up and see the wound of others
as our wound. Stand up to the occasion and help
instead of closing your borders against your
African brothers.”

Joshua concluded that giving citizens proper
education about the disease was important but the
spread of the disease should not be maliciously
exaggerated.

“That does not mean you should use it to destroy
the name of Nigeria as if it is here. It’s not!
Protection and prevention – that should be our
assignment in Nigeria,” he said.

The fear of Ebola did not seem to deter foreigners
flocking to The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations
(SCOAN) as nearly 2,000 visitors arrived in
Nigeria this week alone to worship at the
international church.

According to Joshua, the ‘Anointing Water’,
has been anointed by God to bring healing and
deliverance to people. His website boasts a large
amount of testimonials from people who have
ministered the water and received healing from a
vast array of ailments.
