That strange Aircraft...

Gone are the days when witches and wizards take the form of black and ugly looking birds in order to travel from their domain to urban centers just to harm their enemies. In today's world, there's need for speed, the kind of which not even the king of birds-the crowned eagle-can provide.

Our witches have gone scientific.......

In today's world, evil spirits have the capacity to unleash terror even through the mobile phones. Thank God our men of God are up to the task; we only need to touch our television while they pray. And we are healed. That's all!

Two days ago these evil spirits who are bent on destroying children of God visited the famous Synagogue Church of All Nations. They boarded a massive 20m long aircraft. They flew over the church for several minutes but their primary target-the most holy TB Joshua- was invisible. He was away in the prayer house.

Who goes to the stream and returns with an empty pot? Definately not these vicious witches. How will we deal with this people? They reasoned.
Alas! Standing right beneath their conveyor was a five story building. Originally designed to be just two storeys, it was increased to five just to accommodate the increasing number of believers who throng this alternative-to-hospital church. The church needed no permit; no evil, even from the deepest part of Hades can destroy God's sanctuary.

These aircraft flying evils thought about crashing their conveyor into this structure-just like September 11 attack-but the fear of death prevailed. They went back to the evil forest disappointed.

Barely an hour after they left, the structure went down, crushing tens of worshippers. The fall was so ruthless, it didn't even give special consideration to the whites. The children were not spared. Woman had no influence over this pitiless fall.

Why did the structure fall?

Prophet TB Joshua thinks that's the most inane question to ask. The witch cried yesterday night, he said, and a newborn died this morning, even a dolt should know that it was the witch's cry that caused the death.
The prophet wants us to forget the fact that the structure was burdened or overburdened by the addition of three more floors. This is the handiwork of the enemies of the church. We must not allow them win this spiritual war. True believers must not ask questions; we must see the death of over forty people as a victory over evil. They're martyrs.

You cannot fool everybody all the time.

Before we accept that this preventable tragedy was the handiwork of some imaginary evil spirits, we must first exhaust all the plausible, logical and technological  explanation that points to the contrary.
Was that structure designed to carry the load it was subjected to? Did the church get the required permit to add three more floors to the existing two? Would more people have survived the fall if the church had not been hostile to the emergency responders?

We cannot allow these people die in vain by sweeping this unfortunate incidence under the carpet. It cannot be explained away.
Those responsible for this church massacre must pay.

And why haven't the Lagos state government sealed up that place as it did in other cases? Because it's a church i guess.

May the souls of the dead rest in peace.
