In his sermon on Sunday, November 13th, Prophet TB Joshua said people would need the spirit of a prophet to be able to recognize one. He said this in defense to his prophecy that predicted Hilary Clinton as the winner to the US Presidential election.
The prophet insisted that his prophecy on the US presidential election was given different interpretation by people “on a different level” with him. He also hinted that his reference to Hilary Clinton as eventual winner was reflected in her winning more popular votes than Donald Trump.
In his Sunday sermon, TB Joshua said in a message later posted on the church’s official website and Facebook page:
“We have seen the outcome of the election in America…
“Having read, you will notice that it is all about the popular vote, the vote of the majority of Americans. In this case, we need the Spirit of a Prophet to recognize a Prophet. Our levels are different. We are not on the same level.
“We might have great cathedrals, huge bells, and all kinds of activities that are good by human standards but human point of view is limited.
“1 Corinthians 1:25. The foolishness of God is wiser than that of men and the weakness of God is stronger than that of men. There is no shortcut to spiritual maturity unless earthly understanding gives way to spiritual enlightenment.”
However Nigerians on Social media have rejected the prophets explanation, they urged him to swallow his pride and admit he was wrong.
