Why I called TB Joshua the Wizard at Endor — The Final Conflict!!

Pastor of the Household of God Church International Ministries, Chris Okotie, has clarified why he called the late pastor of the Synagogue Church, Temitope Balogun Joshua, 'The Wizard at Endor.'

Okotie, in a 1-hour, 15-minute long video titled "The Final Conflict!!" posted on YouTube by means of 'Apokalupsis,' said that he alluded to the late TB Joshua as 'The Wizard at Endor' on the grounds that his congregation was purportedly "inseparable from Endor where individuals searched for impermanent answers for everlasting issues."

He said, “Why did I call Joshua the Wizard at Endor?

“I must find a pattern in the scripture that corroborates what I am going to say because if I just come and say that Joshua is not a true man of God and all of that, it doesn’t follow any pattern in the scripture and therefore, it has no spiritual significance.

“I must find a pattern that represents what he is. And I found it in I Samuel, in the 28th chapter when Saul went to the witch at Endor.

“That is why I call him the Wizard at Endor, the fake church, the counterfeit church where people go like King Saul out of desperation.

“They are not interested in knowing Jesus and Him crucified, they are not interested in doctrines, they are not interested in all that pertains to life and godliness; they are looking for temporary solutions to eternal problems, immediate gratification; that is why the place is an Endor and he as the superintendent of that place is the Wizard at Endor.”

Likewise, in a subsequent articulation, Okotie cautioned those he alluded to as "counterfeit prophets" against God's retaliation.
