Ghanaian boxer Ayittey Powers has expressed deep sorrow over the sudden passing of Prophet TB Joshua, the leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Nigeria.
Ayittey, who was close to the late pastor, often turned to him for advice on personal matters.
He shared that TB Joshua had extended an invitation for him to visit the church, but Ayittey delayed the trip, only to later learn of the pastor’s death through the media.
In an interview with Giovani Caleb on TV3, Ayittey disclosed that TB Joshua’s death impacted him more deeply than the loss of his own parents.
“Sometimes when I reflect on his death, I realize that God works in mysterious ways. How could Prophet TB Joshua die at that age? He called me to visit his church, and I planned to go in two weeks, but he passed away before then.
He mentioned he wouldn’t celebrate his birthday, and we didn’t know he was going to die. We discussed many things together.
So, TB Joshua’s death pains me more than the death of my mother and father,” he said.
TB Joshua passed away one week before his 58th birthday, leaving many around the world in shock due to his significant influence and the lives he touched as one of Africa’s most powerful pastors.
