PROPHECY CONFIRMED ARE MANY - THE DEATH OF NIGERIAN PRESIDENT UMARU MUSA YARADUA

The book of Amos 3:7 tells us that God does nothing without first revealing it to His servants. Therefore, a true prophet of God is a communicator between the visible and invisible world. Just as The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations is a ministry of all nations, so too, God continues to use Prophet T.B. Joshua as a mouthpiece to the nations. Numerous prophetic words of both national and global concern have been given by T.B. Joshua and confirmed by the events that followed. In this section are some of the recent prophetic messages revealed during the live Sunday services at The SCOAN that have come to fulfillment.

“You have to pray for this country because I saw the flag of Nigeria on top of the wood. What is the meaning? For the past three weeks, I’ve been praying that the Lord should protect this country, mercy - but I saw a flag on top of the wood. What is the meaning of the wood? What is the meaning of the flag? We have to pray for the nation. That’s all.”

During a Sunday live service at The SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua delivered a prophetic message asking the congregation to pray and fast for the nation, Nigeria and for the soul and body of its president. These were his words. “On the 4th, fast and pray. And on Thursday, fast and pray. Pray and fast. God be with us. You will pray with me. I know we have different nations here but you want to pray for the nation, Nigeria. Ask God for mercy and favour. Ask God to speak His mercy and favour to the soul and the body of the President in Nigeria. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen. Once again, ask God to speak His mercy and favour upon the soul and the body of our President in Nigeria. Prayer. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray.”

In another Sunday service at The SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied further asking the congregation to pray on the 6th saying that the prophecy concerned the Nigerian community. “I want to say something – on the 6th, pray. On the 6th, pray. You will see it--- Something has happened somewhere. I will just keep quiet. That 6th is for your community.”

Prophesying in another Sunday Service at The SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua gave a call to pray for the nation of Nigeria, specifically mentioning the days, Wednesday and Thursday. This is what he said: " Pray for this nation. Father, Your decision is Paramount and Your decision is supreme. Let Your name be glorified. Amen. Pray on Wednesday/Thursday. The event that will happen, there is nothing we can do but we want to pray and say to the Lord, Lord, you have the key to loose and to bind. The Choice is Yours. We ask for the inner grace to choose as if You are the One choosing. Father Lord, we pray. We pray for the nation."

In another service, Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied a fourth time about the nation Nigeria saying that he saw the Nigerian flag on top of the wood. “You have to pray for this country because I saw the flag of Nigeria on top of the wood. What is the meaning? For the past three weeks, I’ve been praying that the Lord should protect this country, mercy - but I saw a flag on top of the wood. What is the meaning of the wood? What is the meaning of the flag? We have to pray for the nation. That’s all.”

True to the prophecy, on the morning of Thursday the 6th of May, 2010, the nation of Nigeria woke up to the news that their president, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had died the previous night of Wednesday 5th May, 2010 and that his funeral was to take place in his home State of Katsina on Thursday the 6th. The world watched as the corpse of the late President was carried through the streets of Katsina, suspended on wooden shafts, covered with the Nigerian flag.

The Federal Executive Council headed by the newly sworn in President Goodluck Jonathan in a meeting during the early hours of Thursday 6th May 2010, announced 7 days of mourning, when the national flag was to be flown at half mast and declared Thursday 6th May as a Public Holiday in Nigeria in honour of the late President.

Take note of Prophet T.B. Joshua’s words to pray and fast on the 4th and on Thursday - the days preceding and following the death of Nigeria’s President Yar’Adua. The 4th, being a Tuesday was the day before President Yar’Ardua’s death and Thursday the 6th was the day after his death – the very day of the Nigerian President’s burial. The man of God specifically gave a call to pray for the nation and the leader the prophecy concerned – the nation Nigeria and its President.

Recall the exact days that the prophet mentioned in the prophecy that the event would happen, Wednesday/ Thursday. The Nigerian President Umaru Yar’Adua died on Wednesday 5th May 2010, after a long battle with a kidney ailment. Recently, he suffered pericarditis, an inflammation of the lining around the heart which had kept him out of the public eye since November 2009. He died at the age of 58.

Recall the prophet’s words concerning the date of the 6th. “I want to say something – on the 6th, pray. On the 6th, pray. You will see it--- Something has happened somewhere. I will just keep quiet. That 6th is for your community.”

In confirmation of the prophet’s words, on May 6th 2010, something had truly happened somewhere in the Nigerian community. The Nigerian President had died the previous night. On the 6th, President Yar’Adua was buried in His home State of Katsina and acting President Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The 6th was also the date that a public holiday was declared in honour of the President’s passing away. The events that happened on 6th May 2010 truly impacted on the entire community of Nigeria.

The image carried by national media on Thursday 6th of the funeral procession clearly confirms the vision God had revealed to Prophet T.B. Joshua about the flag of Nigeria on top of the wood. The corpse of the late President covered with the Nigerian flag and laid on wooden shafts, being carried through the streets to the funeral service clearly confirms the prophet’s words. The wood that the prophet had seen in the vision God had given him were the wooden shafts which conveyed the corpse of the late Nigerian President in the traditional funeral procession. The flag of Nigeria on top of the wood that was revealed to the man of God signifies the death of a very prominent person in that nation.

Born in 1951 into one of Nigeria's best-known political families in northern Nigeria, Yar'Adua earlier worked as a Chemistry professor at a university in his home state of Katsina. He became Katsina's governor and later emerged as the consensus pick among the ruling Peoples' Democratic Party, run by then-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

In a statement, the new President Goodluck Jonathan expressed shock at the death of his predecessor, saying, “Nigeria has lost the jewel on its crown and even the Heavens mourned with our nation. As individuals and as a nation, we prayed for the recovery of Mr President. But we take solace in the fact that the Almighty is the Giver and taker of all life.”

The United States’ President, Obama expressed sadness at the death of Yar’Adua praising him as a man with a passionate belief in his nation’s future. “We remember Yar’Adua’s profound personal decency and integrity, his deep commitment to public service and his passionate belief in the vast potential and bright future of Nigeria’s 150 million people”, In his statement Obama said, "President Yar'Adua worked to promote peace and stability in Africa through his support of Nigerian peace-keeping efforts as well as his strong criticism of undemocratic actions in the region. He was committed to creating lasting peace and prosperity within Nigeria's own borders, and continuing that work will be an important part of honouring his legacy”.

We at Emmanuel TV and The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, pray for the nation Nigeria, her citizens and the family of his Excellency, the late Umaru Yar’Adua that God in His infinite mercy would be their solace and security in the face of this crushing national loss and for Nigeria’s government and leader that God would strengthen them for the task ahead.
