Nigerian televangelist, Pastor Chris Okotie has claimed that Pastor Temitope Balogun Joshua who died in June, took the name ‘Joshua’ “to show his equality with Jesus Christ”.
According to Okotie, had late Joshua, who was brought up by his Muslim uncle, taken any other name, “it would appear that he was subservient to Christ”.
In a video published on Apokalupsis YouTube channel on Sunday, Okotie said: “Joshua claimed he is the one that the Lord has appointed in this generation to bring reconciliation between God and man. And he is not the first to propose such a ludicrous concept. Because even Jesu Oyingbo did the same thing, he calls himself Emmanuel. And we have the same thing with the entity in Calabar who used to call himself ‘I Am’.
“So Joshua believes he is aloof from Jesus, that’s why he took the name Joshua because that’s the name that Jesus bore when he was right here on earth.
“The full name is Jehoshua, which means Jehova is salvation. The name Joshua and the name Jesus are exactly the same.”
Okotie had been critical of TB Joshua – during his lifetime, and even after his demise.

Pastor Chris get prob
Chris, I am not surprise to see person in uh your class making such statement like this.
I want you to sit down and reconsider your “calling” as a preacher of the gospel instead in being in night clubs entertaining people in there.
You see, you are like a failed athlete who blamed his failure on the track or his spike shoes.

Madness, It’s high time Okotie visited psychiatric hospital or rehabilitations center, He is sick in the head.
Please, show your own testimony before God instead of undoing your friend’s testimony.
Let God alone judge him.
