The RAAH’s statement on PROPHET TB JOSHUA
“I find it profoundly troubling how easily some people speak with such harshness about those who are no longer here to defend themselves. Death, above all things, ought to awaken humility within us. It should remind us that every human being is flawed, fragile, & ultimately accountable to God.
Prophet T. B. Joshua was, in my view, undeniably a man of God. Like every other human being, he was not without faults (not that I witnessed any fault)-I just know that none of us are infallible. I certainly am riddled with many. Yet it is impossible to dismiss the extraordinary grace that rested upon his life, the compassion he showed toward people, and the immense spiritual impact of his ministry across nations & generations.
The love of Christ was evident in him. He gave generously, served tirelessly, & touched countless lives with hope, faith, and restoration. Whether one agreed with every aspect of his ministry or not, his influence and contribution to the body of Christ cannot honestly be denied.
What grieves me most is the tendency of some to become exceptionally bold only after a person has departed this life. There is something deeply unsettling about attacking a man who no longer has the opportunity to speak for himself. Beyond public opinion and theological debates, there are children, family members, spiritual sons and daughters, and millions of people whose lives were profoundly shaped by his existence. They, too,deserve peace.
We must exercise caution in how we speak concerning those whom God used. History repeatedly reminds us that God has often worked through imperfect vessels. Above all, If one has not yet made for Christ the level of impact that T.B. Joshua made, perhaps it would be wiser to devote more energy to fulfilling one’s own calling than to dismantling another man’s legacy.
Respect for the departed is not the same as idolising them or pretending they were beyond reproach. Rather, it is an acknowledgement of our shared humanity & an acceptance that God, in His sovereignty, chooses to work through imperfect people.
May we therefore speak with wisdom, restraint, humility, & grace.
Let the man rest.”
I wanted to thank everyone for honoring my mom, Joni Lamb.
She had a deep love for the Lord. She carried a real passion to see souls saved, always praying for people and believing God could change their lives. I loved how excited she’d get when she saw the Holy Spirit move and lives were transformed.
She showed that same heart in how she loved me too. I’ll never forget when she took the time to help me move into my college dorm room. She spent hours doing a deep clean, organizing everything, and setting it all up just right so I’d feel at home.
We also had so many fun battles over the years—cornhole in the backyard, Tetris on the couch, and those long, intense Scrabble games where she’d usually beat me and then laugh about it. She was crazy competitive, and I loved every minute of it.
At the end of it all, it always came back to her love for the Lord and her passion to see souls saved. That’s the legacy she leaves with us.
I love you, Mom. It will be a beautiful reunion to see you and Dad again in heaven one day.
Today, we honor the life and legacy of James Robison — evangelist, founder of Life Outreach International, and a faithful voice for the Gospel to millions around the world. His passion for reaching the lost and helping the hurting leaves behind an impact that will never be forgotten.
Our hearts are with the Robison family and everyone at @LifeTodayTV during this difficult time.
Thank you, James, for your bold faith, your compassion, and your unwavering dedication to the Kingdom of God. Until we meet again.
