Still talking about Ghana's historic victory at Egypt 2009. I'm sure you must have heard the 'behind the scenes' of Black Satellites' victory. I mean the Prophet T.B. Joshua's factor. It is no longer news that President Atah Mills of Ghana is a good friend of the Synagogue man. The latter provides spiritual direction for the former. I learnt that President Atah Mills consulted the Prophet before the final match against Brazil, and the Prophet had told him all was well, that the match would be in Ghana's favour. I learnt the Prophet told them that Ghana would win the match on penalties if Ayew took the first kick. Lo and behold, it was Ayew who took the first kick for Ghana. The word of the servant of the most high God would surely come to pass, even when it looked as if Ghana would lose the match after two of their players missed their kicks.
The Bible says a prophet has no honour in his country. Who is losing as far as prophet T.B. Joshua is concerned? Nigeria, of course. He is our man, a Nigerian, yet we are not tapping into the grace upon his life. Hey, don't get me wrong! I'm not doing PR for him. I don't have the capacity. I'm not his church member and I don't think I'll step into his church for any reason.
I'm only expressing my views as one of the football crazy Nigerians. Ghana utilized this man of God to win the same tournament that the our own Flying Eagles had a nightmarish performance. What stops us from doing the same team? Let's put this issue straight: some pastors in Nigeria believe this man is not of God, that he is evil. Football crazy Nigerians wouldn't care if he predicts or prophesies that our national teams would win a tournament. Soccerbuffs would praise him to the extent of forgetting their pastors or denominations if his prediction comes to pass.
Now our qualification to 2010 World Cup hangs in the balance, while the same Ghana have qualified. We are annoyed with Amodu Shaibu and his players. We are annoyed with NFF. But we need a divine intervention. No be so? So what do we do? Let's use any weapon we have to get our ticket to South Africa 2010. If I were Sanni Lulu or Shuaibu Amodu, I would do like Nicodemus and go to Ikotun Egbe to see the Prophet. I would put my tactical knowledge of the game aside and ask the prohet for direction. I would tell the prophet to give me the first eleven as well as the formation for the Nairobi battle. God uses the folish things of this world to confound the wise. If the prohet told me to put Osaze in goal and Enyeama as the markman, I would obey his word. Furthermore, I would tell the prohet to pray that the Mambas beat the Carthage Eagles silly. I would also tell him to pray for me so Nigerians would allow me to take the Super Eagles to the World Cup.
I know my pastor may be annoyed with me if he read this. I'm sorry sir. I'm ony speaking the mind of soccer loving Nigerians. We all want to watch Eagles play at the World Cup. And like that blind guy in the Bible, whose sight was restored by Jesus, we would say we don't care if T.B. Joshua is of God or not. All we know is that once we were on the verge of missing the World Cup again until he helped us prayed to God. Or how many of the pastors that say his is devilish have prayed about our qualification to the World Cup? For we soccer crazy Nigerians the end justifies the means.
