TB Joshua has left behind a widow Evelyn and three children.
Joshua got married to Evelyn in 1990. The mother of three is also a minister at SCOAN.TB Joshua was happily married to Evelyn Joshua. In a past interview with Nigerian media, Evelyn revealed that the man of God proposed to her 45 minutes after they met.
The man of the cloth was a loving and caring family man. In a recent interview, he said he would like them to be like him. “I have a wife, and I have children. My first daughter is doing her PhD and my second daughter is doing her master’s degree. In all, I have three daughters. The last one is still in secondary school. I would have loved my wife to be like me, but I cannot make her what I am; it is God. I can’t anoint her; God is the one that anoints people, ” TB Joshua said.
One of the couple’s daughters, Serah Joshua, tied the knot on May 8, 2021, with Tanzanian husband, Brian Moshi. The couple was walking down for the third time. They first got married in Nigeria at the Pentecostal Church and later in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and later in Arusha.
TB Joshua had been in the ministry for 15 years. He celebrated the 15th anniversary on March 8, 2021. He was not only a dedicated servant of God but valued his family.
In a related article, a video of televangelist TB Joshua predicting that he would not be able to celebrate his birthday with his people as it has been the norm has emerged on social media.
According to the video shared on his Twitter on Thursday, June 3, the man of God was to celebrate his 58th birthday on Saturday, June 12. However, in what now seems like a premonition to his death, the Nigerian cleric said that he would not be able to celebrate his birthday due to the prevailing conditions, which he did not mention. “To everyone around the world, June 12, is around the corner, as you know, I’m a man of the people, so the wound of one is a wound of all.
