In the wake of Nigeria’s anti-gay bill
signed into law by President Goodluck
Jonathan, a popular televangelist
Prophet T.B. Joshua, addressed the
issue of homosexuality during a live
broadcast of his Sunday Service on his
Emmanuel TV.
A young man by the
name of Tedus visited T.B. Joshua’s
church and was delivered from a
‘demon’ which he claimed was the
cause of his homosexual lifestyle.
While addressed the issue, T.B.
Joshua said:
"God loves sinners but hates sin.
We should hate the act but not
the people - because sinners can
be delivered and changed.
Sinners can be reformed since
our battle is not against the
flesh and blood but against the
spirit beings that cause these
acts."
He used the Bible scriptures Romans
5:8, Jude 1:23 and Ephesians 6:12 to
support his teaching.
During the live broadcast Mr Tedus,
who said he had been a homosexual,
was asked series of questions and
shared his experiences which were
posted on the ministry’s Facebook page
in a post titled, “Deliverance is the
Answer”.
He said that he remembered a time he
felt a spirit enter him and after that, he
began to feel affection for men. That
was how his journey as a homosexual
started.
He said that after his
deliverance at the church his desires
have changed and he no longer has
passion for men but rather for women.
Reacting, Prophet T.B. Joshua said:
“ If we fail to see that there are powers
that cause people to be bowed down in
bondage, we are fighting the wrong
battle.
That is why so many churches
today are fighting the wrong battle.
When you are armed for battle, you will
not fight the wrong battle; you will
listen to the inner voice of the Holy
Spirit. The issue of faith is not an issue
of man’s flesh.
It is of man’s spirit, not
man’s flesh”.
Tedus gave advice saying, “If you come
across someone with the same
problem, you should not condemn. The
only answer is deliverance.”
