"Let The Man Rest": Prophet Uebert Angel Defends T.B. Joshua’s Legacy Against Posthumous Critics
Prophet Uebert Angel, leader of the new Prophetic Movement 'The Ra’ah', says people should stop attacking the late Prophet T. B. Joshua because he is no longer alive to defend himself. He stated that it is wrong to speak harshly about someone who has died, and that TB Joshua was clearly a man of God who helped millions of people around the world.
In a powerful statement shared on his Instagram page, Prophet Uebert Angel made it clear that while no human being is perfect—including himself—it is impossible to ignore the extraordinary grace that rested on TB Joshua’s life, the compassion he showed people, and the spiritual impact of his ministry across many nations and generations.
A Legacy Under Attack
Attacking The Defenseless
A detailed look at Prophet Uebert Angel's primary argument against those who wait until a man of God passes away to launch their public criticisms.
Prophet Uebert Angel noted that what hurts him most is how some people become very bold only after a person has died.
“There is something deeply unsettling about attacking a man who no longer has the opportunity to speak for himself,” he said.
In his view, TB Joshua was undeniably a man of God. He pointed out that the love of Christ was evident in him.
A Generous Life
“He gave generously, served tirelessly, and touched countless lives with hope, faith, and restoration,” Uebert Angel stated.
Spiritual Perspective
God Uses Imperfect People
Exploring the biblical and practical truth that God has historically used flawed vessels to achieve extraordinary global impact.
The man of God advised critics to be careful how they speak about those whom God used. He admitted that no human being is perfect, including himself, but reminded the public that God has always worked through imperfect people.
Uebert Angel made a profound point regarding the energy spent on criticism versus personal ministry execution.
A Question of Impact
He added that if someone has not made the same level of impact for Christ that TB Joshua made, it would be wiser to spend more energy on their own calling instead of tearing down another man’s legacy.
Collateral Damage
Protecting Those Left Behind
Understanding the devastating secondary effects of public theological debates and why the surviving family must be considered.
Beyond the theological debates and public opinions, the prophet reminded his followers of the real human cost of these attacks.
He stated firmly that these people, who are currently grieving and navigating life without their leader and father figure, also deserve peace.
A Plea for Compassion
When a leader passes, the ripple effect on their spiritual and biological family is immense. Angel highlighted that continuous attacks deny these grieving individuals the basic human right to mourn in peace.
Unedited Release
The RAAH’s Statement on PROPHET TB JOSHUA
The unedited, official release from The RAAH, providing Prophet Uebert Angel's exact words on the matter of TB Joshua’s legacy.
“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, and ultimately accountable to God.
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 saw or witnessed any fault)-I just know that none of us are without fault. 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. 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 and an acceptance that God, in His sovereignty, chooses to work through imperfect people.
May we therefore speak with wisdom, restraint, humility, and grace.
Let the man rest.”
Wisdom, Restraint, and Grace
Prophet Uebert Angel’s defense serves as a sobering reminder to the global Christian community. Whether one agreed with every aspect of TB Joshua's ministry or not, his influence and contribution cannot be denied. Ultimately, the call is simple: “May we therefore speak with wisdom, restraint, humility, and grace. Let the man rest.”
