Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet T. B. Joshua, has called for love to be shown to all people as a way to mark his 57th birthday.
The popular cleric, who will be clocking 57 on Friday, revealed in a video posted on YouTube on Thursday that God wants him to celebrate by reaching out to people in need.
He said: “Birthdays are a time to reflect on the memories of yesterday, the joys of today and the dreams of tomorrow.”
Joshua urged his audience to practice “love that has feet to move to the needy, to move to the sick ones, to move to the hungry ones.
“Love that has hands to help others without expectation. Love that has eyes to see misery and want. Love that has ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.”
He added: “Many T.B. Joshuas are orphans. Let us father them. Many T.B. Joshuas are homeless. Let us shelter them. Many T.B. Joshuas are sick. Let us care for them. Many T.B. Joshuas are lonely. Let us be their companion.
“My friends, let the feelings of others matter to us. ‘Will these children not go to school? How can these people be lonely and homeless?’ There are many sick ones, hungry people, widows and orphans in our communities. Let us care for them.”
