Ghanaian boxer Ayittey Powers has expressed deep pain over the unexpected death of Prophet TB Joshua, the head pastor of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Nigeria.
He shared that he was very close to the late pastor and often sought his counsel on various personal matters.
Ayittey mentioned that TB Joshua had invited him to visit his church, but he delayed his visit only to learn of the pastor's passing in the media.
In an interview with Giovani Caleb on TV3, Ayittey revealed that the death of the Nigerian pastor affected him more profoundly than the death 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.
