A Prophet is honoured except in his own hometown

Prophet TB Joshua, the founder and general overseer of the Synagogue Church, Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos, in Nigeria who has said the late President John Mills of Ghana 'was like a spiritual son to him' has made some mind-blowing revelations about the state of health of the late president.

Prophet TB Joshua disclosed that 'Mills was a very dear son to me and I was his spiritual godfather.' The late president Mills had openly admitted that Prophet TB Joshua played a crucial role on his ascension to the presidency and even said so publicly in a thanksgiving service held at the Synagogue Church in March 2009.
According to the late Mills , the Prophet TB told him that the election would travel to the third round before he would be declared the winner, which came to pass. “It, therefore, came as no surprise, when the Synagogue Church of All Nations was the first church he visited in Nigeria, after the Electoral Commission had declared him winner of the 2008 election.”
Prophet TB Joshua made three statements worth considering and where need be, lessons learned.
Firstly, TB Joshua who had predicted that one African head of state will die, said he did not receive any revelation concerning the death of his own spiritual son, otherwise he would have intensified more prayers to avert his demise. Indeed, a prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house (Mark 4:6; Matthew 13:57). TB Joshua could not do any miracles about JEA Mills.

Further, Prophet TB Joshua disclosed that he had done so much concerted prayers for the late Mills’ health. Concerning the ailment that led to Mills’ death, Prophet TB Joshua said the late president was suffering from throat cancer. Why was the President and people around him not truthful to Ghanaians about the ailment that afflicted the president? Who were they deceiving? Mills said he was suffering from sinus. In recent interview with the BBC in reaction to the demise of Mills, former president JJ Rawlings mentioned same disease and further asserted that it had affected his vital organs like the eyes and ears constricting his ability to work to three hours daily.

 Furthermore, Prophet TB Joshua revealed that aside his prayers, "the late Mills had also had frequent visits to the United States hospitals – three times this year alone - and yet God still allowed him to die.” This confirms a statement from the Presidency issued on Saturday July 18, 2012 'for a routine medical check-up in the United States'.  This was the only time the President had told Parliament as require by law that he was travelling to the US for routine medical check up. This must be investigated. The President travelled three times to the US without informing Parliament.

Importantly, is the death of President Mills going to be another 'fama Nyame matter' or the country will take the needed steps to firmly establish procedures that will prevent the recurrence of this unfortunate problem in future.
