Joshua of the Synagogue,
Church of All Nations on
Sunday carried on with his
message for job creation
with a call to include the
youth in decision-making
positions or risk mass unrest.
The pastor, speaking during a live service broadcast
on his Emmanuel TV, said:
"I am seeing a revolution. I am seeing people take to
the street. At the beginning of that protest, it might
be stopped. Eventually, it will become so big that it
cannot be stopped."
In the message entitled 'Carry Your Youth Along' the
prophet, however, said there was a way out and cited
job creation for the youth and the creation of a new
social value system.
This, he said, was because 90 percent of the youth
have come to believe that it was by becoming
political thugs that they could be successful,
especially because those in the political offices do not
want to retire and become statesmen.
He also said the youth should be considered for
inclusion in all sectors of the economy as they seem
to be more educated than their elders because they
are exposed to modern technology.
"The youth, no matter the education they have, feel
they have no place in politics and there is no job to
keep them busy. There must be new orientation,"
said T.B Joshua who has in recent weeks taken job
creation as a pilot project of his ministry.
In an indirect chastisement of political leaders who
cling to power, the Lagos-based cleric said it was
time the youth were considered for important
positions such as assistants to the elders.
Said he: "While the elders are ministers, the youth
could be junior ministers. This little example of being
junior ministers can change the situation of things.
Tell your presidents – in every department of
government or politics, the youth should be junior
assistants to the heads of such departments."
By doing this, he said, the youth would be groomed
to take over tomorrow because they are leaders
of tomorrow.
"This is a message to the whole world. This is
because revolution is a weapon of change that is
coming. This is the vision I saw. Revolution is coming
when people will take to the street because life has
no value anymore to the people out there.
"Any nation that will start it now, will avert the
coming revolution. Carry your youth along in your
politics and administration especially in ruling your
country. I have said it; none of these will go without
being fulfilled," said the pastor who lamented that
his messages right from the beginning of his
ministry were never believed until they came to pass.
Among some of his predictions that came true were
the revolution in Egypt, death of former Malawi
president Bingu wa Mutharika and recently, the
derailing of the train in a french-speaking country,
just to name a few.
According to the prophet, if the youth are carried
along, whenever there is a revolt or situation they
will be available to readily speak to their colleagues
and peace will be maintained.
"The youth want to see themselves represented in
every area of life," he said.
The pastor who has often been accused of being a
prophet of doom for his hard-to-swallow predictions,
was quick to warn his world viewers, saying he only
speaks what God tells him.
"Those who cry peace to us, prophesy nothing but
smooth things. Those who cry peace to you, victory
be to you, all is well, unlimited favor, prophesy
nothing but smooth things. As surely as God lives, I
[T.B. Joshua] will tell you only what God says. If I am
hated, persecuted and intimidated because of my
accurate prophetic utterances – Blessed be to God
who gives the prophecy!"
