This is something I feel led to share about the so-called prophet T.B. Joshua. the pastor of "The Synagogue, Church of All Nations" (SCOAN) in Nigeria. You may not have heard of him, but he is pretty famous, and his followers across Africa esteem him very highly as one of the great preachers of our time. He was a prosperity preacher with his own Emmanuel TV channel, who operated in signs and wonders, but sadly he was secretly doing things to the people in his church that were ungodly. I had seen at least one documentary about these abominations that were happening in his church, which was based on whistleblower testimonies that were horrendous. It was essentially a cult in the truest sense of the word.
I had actually mentioned him in two of my articles, calling him out. I'll link to those at the bottom. So I was not unaware of some of the atrocities he had committed. Nor was I ignorant to the fact that he was on course to end up in hell unless he would have repented. But because he did such a great job deceiving the people, those who follow him don't believe any bad reports about him, rather they would believe that he was a mighty man of God. For example, one viewer of the video below commented with a verse from Matthew 19 to sum up their feelings: "When his disciples heard this they said, 'Who then can be saved?'"
I didn't even realize that he had died this year at age 57. It was quite sudden and unexpected.
In this video that premiered Jun 19th, someone shares how they saw him in hell, where Jesus took them to see this man. Now he is ready to repent, but it's too late. Please watch the short video, and don't assume that I have already covered everything in written form in this post, because I have not. I have only provided an introduction to the subject, but the video contains more and different information that you need to hear.

Closing Words
In closing, I would like to conclude with some thoughts from someone I know who is from Nigeria. T.B. Joshua misled the masses across Africa through the false miracles that he performed, and he is still able to bewitch them even now after he has died. But true, Spirit-filled believers were and are able to discern that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. It is a tragedy that he died without publicly repenting of his sins, but we can be sure that God gave him plenty of time to do so.
Do You Want to Know Him? If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.

This is the testimony of an Indonesian lady, called Elisabeth Widyawati Herman, which has been translated from Indonesian into English by a woman named Elma Larsen, so that many more could be blessed by her testimony.
In 2001, when Elisabeth was twenty years old, the Lord Jesus Christ personally took her to see heaven & hell during a period of forty days and forty nights.
Elisabeth initially had an experience at an intercessory prayer meeting at church, whereby the Holy Spirit came upon her, and she began speaking in tongues. Afterward she realized that she could no longer speak in her native Indonesian language, but only in tongues, which continued for the entire forty days. She also discovered that she was unable to eat food, so she fasted for the entire duration of this experience. Meanwhile the Lord continued to show her hell and heaven, and the revelation she received was truly amazing.
Some of the highlights of it include the following:
She saw the map of hell and the shape of it, which amazingly corresponds to the shape of a crucified man.
People enter into hell through the section that corresponds to the mouth. As it says in the prophet Isaiah: "Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself and opened its mouth beyond measure; their glory and their multitude and their pomp, and he who is jubilant, shall descend into it." (Is 5:14, KJV).
The people in hell are being punished in different locations there, depending on whether they were a believer or non believer, and what kind of sinful lifestyle they practiced during their earthly life.
She actually saw that there were preachers of the gospel there in hell, because they didn't practice what they preached.
The Lord holds each one of us responsible for controlling the use of our bodies and all their parts.
In heaven she met King David, and you will be amazed at his comment as to why he made it into heaven.
She also met the apostle John in heaven, who gave her advice for all of us on our relationship with the Lord, which is right in line with the kind of relationship he had with the Lord during his earthly life, as told to us in the Bible (Jn 13:23; Rev 1:10).
She met Paul the apostle, who gave her a word of encouragement to remember in our trials and hardships, which I believe you will appreciate. It was essentially what he wrote to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 10:13.
She saw the Lord's palace and described what it was like seeing the Father on His throne.
She saw the twelve, colorful foundations decorated with precious stones, which are spoken about in Revelation 21:19-20.
She described the angels and some of the differences between the worship angels and the warrior ones.
She saw a warehouse in heaven containing spare body parts with people's names on them that were simply there for the asking, if the people who needed them would only ask and believe. But most never bother to ask.
She says that there are separate rewards given to the saints for each thing that they do for the Lord, no matter what it is.
She said that what matters in the end is not how much you serve the Lord, but the quality of your service, which is evidenced by the heart and attitude with which you do it. Whatever we do, we should do it as unto the Lord, for the glory of God, in the name of Jesus, and with love. Then even if all you can do is pray, you will be rewarded for praying. If all you can do is care for the children or do housekeeping chores, you will receive a reward for it, if is done in loving service to the Lord.
I have tried not to give you too much detail about her revelation, because you really need to just watch it and listen to her give the testimony herself. You are in for a real treat!
Translator Elma Larsen posted the following statement in the description box of the video containing her English voiceover of the testimony, which is worth reposting here:
"To avoid confusion among Christians, below is an extract taken from Elisabeth's 40-day dairy. This is what the LORD JESUS said to her on day 39:"
"All who enter the Kingdom of Heaven enter only by the grace I give. When people believe in ME, that person has the right to enter into MY Kingdom. But I judge not from the first moment they made the decision in their life to repent and believe in ME. I judge the end of their life whether they still believe in ME and loves ME. Therefore, it is necessary to be guided by the HOLY SPIRIT in living their life – so that they are able to do MY every will. There are many children of the LORD who, in the middle of their lives, cease to trust ME, leaving ME, exchanging the salvation they received only for the sake of wealth, honour, pleasure which are all temporary in the world."
"It is your duty and the duty of MY children, MY servants who believe in ME to bring MY children who have long forsaken ME to return to ME, and also bringing those who do not believe in ME to repent and believe in ME before MY second coming."
Another helpful resource for you is Elisabeth's DIARY covering Day 1 - 40 (a must read!), translated into English (see here for PDF download)
What a treasure this video and diary are. I hope you will take the time to view the video and read the diary. Then take it to heart, repent wherever necessary, and live your life according to the Word of God. If you do not know the Lord, then you will perish unless you repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is a truly amazing story of a mathematician and computer scientist-engineer, named Randall Rathbun. He got saved at age eighteen during a revival in the Lutheran church, in which God had visited them and showed them about being born again. But later on while serving as a worship leader in his local church, he was living a double life. He was walking in sin and resisting the Holy Spirit's conviction about it. He came to a point of desperation that led to a tragic car crash one day. That was when he found himself descending into hell.
In this interview, he tells about his experience and what hell was like. He also discusses how the Lord mercifully pulled him out of hell and showed him heaven, and gave him a chance to come back and warn others. Don't miss this powerful testimony of God's mercy and love, told only as the man who experienced it could tell it.
