a year of 'crossing the bridge', prophesying it to be a year of
destiny where corruption would be corrected in Nigeria as
corrupt leaders would go down.
It was an electric atmosphere in The Synagogue Church Of
All Nations (SCOAN) where large crowds thronged to usher
in the New Year 2014. T.B. Joshua came out around 11pm to
deliver his much anticipated prophetic message in a broadcast
beamed live via the churches popular television station
Emmanuel TV.
Moving on, he spoke about what was to be expected in the
New Year...
He first counselled believers to stay steadfast in faith
despite the challenges that would arise in the coming year.
"We are tempted so that we may pray the more. Afflictions
are meant for our spiritual benefit," he encouraged the
congregants and television viewers.
...attendees listening with rapt attention and scribbling notes
as he spoke. "This New Year 2014 is not like any other year
in the past. It is a year of crossing bridge. To cross the bridge,
you need to grab onto faith," he began. "This is not going to
be easy for the mighty. Many of the mighty will fall. Pray for
them. The rich, famous and popular people – many will fall
this 2014 because crossing the bridge is not going to be easy;
they need God. Many of them believe it is their own making
to be great in their own area of expertise."
He went on to decry the effect this 'fall' would have on the
business world as, according to him, "98% of businesses and
companies are owned by these people." Specifying a field of
business that would especially be affected, he said the airline
industry would face multiple challenges, leading to an
unprecedented rise in ticket prices, particularly noting that
African airlines would be most affected. Joshua further
declared 2014 to be a year of destiny for those would 'follow
the ways of the Lord'. "Many people that are not known will
be rise by destiny," he prophesied.
Talking about the current Nigerian political situation, Joshua
said, "There will be a leadership tussle on who will lead and
who will be presidential candidate in APC which will affect
them as a political party. They should be vigilant. Many are
with them in flesh but not with them in spirit."
Talking about the crisis Nigeria's ruling party PDP are
embroiled in, the prophet stated that they would 'pay any
price to unite' but that the issue of who would be the
presidential candidate would cause challenges.
"Many of the key leaders in political parties will go down in
2014," Joshua then announced to the somber audience.
"If many key leaders go down with 2014, what will now
happen in 2015? Pray for 2015 to be fulfilled. The beginner is
not the owner but the finisher," TB Joshua stressed.
He then stated to thunderous applause that 2014 would see a
positive improvement for the nation in the area of corruption.
"What will happen in 2014 will result in the correction of the
corruption in Nigeria because many corrupt leaders will go
down in 2014."
Joshua then prayed for the congregants who all lit candles to
symbolize the dawn of the New Year.
"God has promised that 2014 is the year of destiny. Your
destiny cannot be changed. This New Year, your destiny
cannot be tampered with. I command your dream to come
true, your dream to come to fulfillment, in Jesus' name."
