Timi Frank, the deputy national publicity secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has congratulated Prophet TB Joshua as he receives another foreign honour.
Temitope B. Joshua, a popular television preacher in Nigeria, has been awarded with the National Order of Merit of Paraguay by the country’s National Parliament.
This decision was taken on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at the sitting of the parliament in Asuncion in the South American country, a radio journalist, Nativida Romero of 970 Am Radio first broke the news.
In an e-mailed statement to The Trent, on Friday, Timi Frank celebrated the popular preacher saying that the “entire world will come to know” his dedication to the betterment of the human race.
“I rejoice with and congratulate you on receiving Paraguay’s highest honour – The National Order of Merit, which was conferred on you by the Paraguayan government for your relentless and selfless service to humanity,” the politician wrote.
“This is certainly a well-deserved award in recognition of your leadership and significant contributions to advancing peace and blessings to the people of world through your teachings and healings
“I am ecstatic that you are being honoured with this award, the highest ever conferred on a non citizen of Paraguay and for the first time too, It is pleasing to me personally because through hard work and dedication, you have made a tremendous difference in the lives of people all over the world. Let me personally congratulate you Prophet T.B. Joshua and Partners as well as on behalf of the SCOAN congregations and volunteers all around Nigeria
“Sir, the entire world will come to know how you dedicate time and resources to the betterment of the human race and they will all thank the lord for Pastor TB Joshua,” he declared.
The “Comuneros” is the highest distinction that the Paraguayan parliament can bestow on a person. Bernardo Villalba (ANR), a member of the parliament, proposed that the spiritual leader, Prophet TB Joshua, be granted the honour and the proposal was fully approved.
“Avanza País MP, Rocío Casco, did however oppose it on grounds that the distinction had previously only been awarded to citizens of the country. For his part, the legislator Villalba maintained his position,” local news reports say.
“Villalba put forward his arguments, in full session, where he expressed that Joshua, compelled to visit Paraguay, ‘will bring peace and blessings to the population’,” the report continued.
“I do not just want to welcome him to our country. We pray that his stay be as fruitful as possible and that it will be a blessing to our nation,” the MP said.
“For the first time ever, I propose the National Order to be awarded to a personality and I am proposing that he be awarded this distinction by the Members of Parliament.”
Villalba proposed that the national honour be presented to TB Joshua at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium where the Nigerian preacher is billed to hold a crusade.
Prophet TB Joshua is popular in Southern America where he often fills stadia during his crusades. He has received similar honours at his crusade in Peru.
