Prophet T.B. Joshua revealed his first daughter, Serah, graduated from the prestigious London School of Economics with second class honours upper division.
Yesterday [July 13], the man of God posted on his Facebook and Twitter accounts; he wrote: “Everybody says that TB Joshua has no child but today, to the glory of God, his first child is graduating from London School of Economics, School of Law! Her name is Serah Joshua and she came out with second class honours upper division, only one point to first class honours!”
The post concluded by stating her obedience to God was key to her success. “When you take action in obedience to God, you will prosper,” it reads. Known as Africa's most persecuted prophet; various rumours have circulated in the past concerning Joshua’s family, as well as his pastoral background and calling into the ministry. Indeed, several years ago at the height of Joshua’s persecution, it was often reported that he had no children or that those he claimed to have were illegitimate.
T. B. Joshua’sFacebook page later revealed that Serah had been granted admission to study for her Masters in Law in various prestigious America universities including Columbia University, New York University (NYU), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as well as in the London School of Economics.
When asked in an interview with Nigeria’s Guardian newspaper in 2009 regarding whether his children will follow his footsteps in the ministry,Prophet T. B. Joshua said,“The ministry is not a will; it is not a property you can will to your children. It is a spiritual inheritance and the Bible talks about the inheritance of saints. You must meet God’s condition and no human hand can be employed to do the work of God. It is predestined, as it should be by divine will. I cannot force my children to follow in my footsteps, they have to decide on their own, and I can only point them to the way…I cannot give them the power because I am not the owner of the power. I can only do my best to train them in the way of the Lord and if they are ready to follow and make a difference, it is their choice, not mine”.
