Pastor of
the popular Synagogue Church of all Nations, Temitope Joshua (popularly known
as T.B. Joshua), who has been having hard times since the collapse of his
building has described the recent incident in his church as a hard time that
cannot destroy him.
Writing on
the church’s official Facebook page, Tuesday, Mr. Joshua said hard times should
be counted as joy:
“Hard times may test me, they cannot
destroy me. To withstand hard times, stand with Christ. When you face trials,
hard times, you can count it all joy if you add faith.
“It is through hard times that you gain
the necessary experience and maturity to handle whatever responsibility given
you.
“We are most likely to go astray from
God and forget Him when things are easy with us in the world because we often
become proud and stupid with wealth and pleasure.
“God visits His people with hard times
that they may learn His way. His ways, though hard to the ungodly men, are
desirable and profitable because they lead us to safety unto eternal life. God
allowed the enemy to overcome Israel so that they may learn the difference
between serving God and serving the devil.
“If not for our hard times, we would
not have sought the face of God. I mean, if not because of hard times, man by
his wicked nature, would not have sought the face of God.
“This means, God sometimes uses hard
times to draw us to Him so that we can take our proper position and possession
in Him”.
May God
console the family of the affected victims
