The Daily Crucible
Former Presidential aide and politician, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has revealed how government and business activities were literally shut down for nearly a day in Lesotho, a high-altitude, landlocked kingdom encircled by South Africa, to receive the charismatic televangelist, Pastor Temitope Balogun Joshua, when he visited the country for church mission some years back.
Okupe who noted that he never met Joshua all his life on earth before the preacher's demise on Saturday, said he was in utter awe to discover that in Lesotho, the country's President and the entire cabinet were part of the reception team organized to receive the SCOAN pastor in the South African country.
Recalling the stunning experience while reacting to the demise of the Prophet, he stated : "I never met late prophet T.B. Joshua in real life. But I have two friends who talk about him to me passionately. One Ffk favourably, the other, EVANGELIST Bisola Hepzibah, disparagingly.
"But I had a rather interesting indirect or remote experience with him.
Many years ago in the company of some south african friends I visited Lesotho on business.
"Our friend and host, informed us excitedly that the traffic we experienced on our way to the hotel was because of the visit of a great African who has come visiting.
"He went on and told us how the ministries and government departments have closed early that day so that civil servants and other citizens will make it in good time to the national stadium to recieve the august visitor.
'The President and the entire cabinet were part of the reception team.
Then suddenly he turned around ( I was seating at the back) and said " but Doyin you must know this great man. He is from Nigeria. His name is prophet TB Joshua.
"I was stunned and in complete awe!!!"
