“I received the news of the death of my brother, Prophet TB Joshua with a heavy heart and deep sorrow. It is really devastating to hear such a sad news breaking like a wildfire. Prophet TB Joshua was an Iroko tree, an abode for many souls.

“His life was a complete definition of God's generosity and philosophy. He was very humble, gentle and generous to a fault.

“His large- heartedness knows no tribe, colour, ethnicity, language or religion. He was simply a winner of souls even spreading beyond the shores of Nigeria.

“He opened a new vista in religious tourism, and Nigeria earned a lot, in terms of foreign exchange from his accommodating spirit. With his death, there has been an eclipse in God's vineyard.”

Adams, however, prayed for God to grant the immediate family, his kinsmen, the church and the country the fortitude to bear the loss.

Legit.ng had earlier reported that Joshua died just days before his 58th birthday celebrations.
