His purpose is to preach the Gospel to all mankind and His Gospel is quite simple,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Referencing the Bible in Romans 10:17, the post explained further the reason for the channel\u2019s slogan &#8220;Changing Lives, Changing Nations and Changing The World&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Bible says faith comes by hearing the Word of God.

and not engaging in any fundraising on Emmanuel TV.<\/p>\n<p>Due to its popularity, it is one of the few religious channels available on the DSTV platform in Africa.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emmanuel TV, the popular Christian television channel founded by Prophet TB Joshua of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria, has clocked 15 years of existence.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":47354,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,17],"tags":[8318],"coauthors":[2391],"class_list":["post-47353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-faith","category-news","tag-prophet-tb-joshua-of-the-synagogue"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pomp &amp;
