I have my reservations about all these confessions and deliverance...but some of you will find this interesting. Report sent in by freelance journalist, Ihechukwu Njoku. Find it below...
A member of the dreaded Boko Haram sect confessed before Pastor T.B. Joshua of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) today, revealing how their plan to bomb the popular church in Lagos was thwarted.
In a broadcast beamed live via the Christian station, Emmanuel TV, late into the afternoon, Joshua announced to the congregation that a young man had a confession to make.
“My name is Mustapha. I come from Yola, Adamawa State. I am a member of Boko Haram,” he began, sending the congregation into uproar. “Boko Haram is a cult. We have killed many souls,” he confessed.
Probed further about the process through which he
joined Boko Haram, Mustapha explained, “When
I joined this cult, they wrote something with Arabic Language. After writing
it, they washed it and I drunk it. That is the day I had the mind to kill
souls.”
Questioned by Joshua as to his intention of being in
the church, the secret sect member explained it was his first time in Lagos. “We were five in number,” he continued. “We dropped at the junction opposite from
the church. There was a man who used to sell something opposite the church
here. He is selling sweets, soap and cigarettes. I met the man and asked him to
help me keep the bag I was carrying. It contained some instruments – bombs, to
destroy people.”
However, Mustapha said the local trader refused to
collect the bag. “We decided to sit down
and eat before going on our mission here. Our plan was to take souls, to
destroy at this Synagogue Church.”
The Boko Haram member explained that activating the
bomb was a matter of joining wires, adding that they had the ability to time
the bomb. “We can set it to explode in
one minute or ten minutes. We planned to set it for five minutes and immediately
leave the place. All the souls will go.”
However, whilst sitting down to eat with his
colleagues at a restaurant opposite the popular church in Ikotun-Egbe, Mustapha
recounted a strange incident. “They
brought food for us and we were eating. At that place, they had television. We
were watching the television and discussing. It was Emmanuel TV – I saw you
(T.B. Joshua) preaching to people”.
Mustapha had never been in church before and had no
idea who T.B. Joshua was. “By the time
you prayed and laid hands on the screen, it was like you were there with us and
you joined our midst. As you laid your hands on the screen, you laid your hands
on our face. That was when confusion came between us; everybody scattered,”
he confessed.
“Since that
day, I wanted to go home but I am not fit. Any time I lie down, I will be
seeing you (T.B. Joshua) in my dream. You are disturbing me. I don’t know what
I did to you. The thing is bothering me too much.”
Asked to explain further, Mustapha revealed, “In my dream yesterday, you told me that the
group of Boko Haram would not exist again. I want to go but I don’t have the
spirit to do it again. I don’t sleep in the night; I always see you. You are
disturbing me. You keep praying for me and laying hands on me. I want to sleep
well. I cannot close my eyes without seeing you (T.B. Joshua). Please, help
me.”
Several hours later, Joshua readdressed the issue
and brought the young man forward again, stating that God had warned him of the
impending attack several weeks ago, prompting him to go into intense prayers.
“I have been
in a serious battle for the past two weeks. Those who looked at my knees
yesterday will know that this is what I wore last week,” Joshua stated, explaining
that he wore the same jeans for the past few weeks which were clearly soiled
from prayer sessions.
“It was not a
surprise to me because I have seen it. My mission is to separate him from the
spirit that is controlling him to do that. We are not to fight mere flesh and
blood,” the
pastor explained.
Mustapha reiterated his plight. “I cannot sleep or close my eyes. Even now, I am feeling a headache
because I have not slept at night. Anytime I lie down and I want to sleep, I
will see you in my dream, praying for me and disturbing me.”
As T.B. Joshua prayed, the Boko Haram member fell
violently on the floor. He managed to get back up but fell again at the prayer
of Joshua. He then began to vomit some strange substances. Joshua noticed the
tattoo of a scorpion emblazoned on his shoulder and asked for its meaning. “This is the tattoo they gave to me in the
cult. All of us have this tattoo.”
Asked whether he had ever encountered such a
scenario before, Mustapha, who explained it was his very first time in a church,
confessed, “We have never failed before.
There is an operation we did at an airforce base in Maiduguri recently. Even we
went to Adamawa State in Michika two weeks ago. We have never failed.”
Stretching his hand towards Mustapha again, Joshua
prayed once again and the young man fell to the floor. As he got up slowly from
the floor, tears were in the eyes of Mustapha. “The spirit leading him to kill is gone,” Joshua declared to applause
from the onlookers. Looking intently at
him, Joshua, who is well known for his prophecies, stated, “There is one set of beads you used to wear.” Mustapha looked
shocked. “Yes, I used to wear it before.
How did you know that I am wearing something?” The young man was then away
from the public.
