Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua has released a controversial
YouTube video purportedly showing the healing of a
man with horrific snake-like scales across his body. The
clip titled, ‘A Video You Will Never Forget’ shows Mr
Jude Oraka from Anambra State, Nigeria, receiving
prayer from the popular cleric during a prayer service
at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in
Lagos.
Oraka, a driver by profession, claimed he fell victim to
a strange skin disease six years ago which “defied
medical comprehension”. Jude’s sister described him as
a “walking corpse” whom the family had given up on.
However, several months after receiving prayer, Oraka
returned with smooth skin to testify that “he was
healed by Jesus Christ through T.B. Joshua”.
The clip has already racked up over 100,000 views since
its release and attracted hundreds of comments from
both skeptics and believers alike. Joshua is not a
stranger to controversy, making headlines this week for
not showing up at a court case surrounding the deadly
collapse of a building within his church premises last
year. Emmanuel TV, which debuted on DStv and GOtv
last month, is one of the most popular Christian
television stations in Africa. It’s YouTube channel has
over 265,000 subscribers, making it among the most
subscribed Christian channels worldwide.
