Claims of Prophecy
SCOAN claims that Joshua has successfully predicted events in the lives of individuals who attend his church services as well as worldwide events, including a prophecy of Michael Jackson's death, the Boston bombing attacks in America and the outcome of various football matches, including the two recent African Cup of Nations (AFCON) final matches, which were won by Zambia and Nigeria respectively.
His prophecy about the death of former Malawian President Bingu wa Mutharika, created an internet storm, the prediction widely reported in African press before and after his demise.
Joshua's prophecies are allegedly held in such esteem that false rumors spread using his name are known to have caused widespread panic in communities, affected sporting events and led people to stop using social networks.
