Serah Oyindamola Joshua
Serah Oyindamola Joshua, the daughter of the leader and founder of The Synagogue Church of All Nations, Temitope Balogun Joshua, commonly referred to as Prophet T. B. Joshua, was one of the 3,277, who were called the Bar on Tuesday and Wednesday (December 15 and 16) in Abuja, having successfully completed the September 2015 Bar Final Examinations.
For Prophet TB Joshua’s daughter, law is a gift of God, already minted before the beginning of time, which she discovered growing up in her home.
"I am privileged and fortunate to be the daughter of such a humble and great man of God called TB Joshua. He is someone I look up to, because my father is a man of God and he has been able to guide me every time I need him. I am too happy, so humble to be his daughter. He has been a good guide. Thus I can’t afford to disappoint him and God, because to whom much is given, much is expected."
Challenges growing up?
We all have challenges, but with what my father has taught me, I see challenges as stepping stone to greater heights. Also, challenges are not personal, because God is involved in seeing you through. Every stumbling block is a lesson to move higher in life.
How does she react to comments about her father?
He is a true example of humility. I have seen so many characters in him that is worthy to emulate. As a father, he is the best father everybody can pray to have. I am not just saying that, because he is my father, this is just the truth. Also, it’s not what I think about him or what people think about him that counts, but what God says about him. That’s why I said, he is a true man of God and it’s not what people say that counts, but what God says. Everybody has the right to air his or her opinion, but God’s opinion counts most.
What was his reaction to her success story?
He was very happy and proud of me. I am always happy whenever he is proud of me. He has given me so much and I feel I have a lot to offer and can’t afford to disappoint him.
Was there special gift or words of encouragement he gave her as a child?
Life is an experience. I know my dad and he is a living example of how to be, humble and devoted to God.
The name TB Joshua has opened doors for her, but not as many would think.
When people know that I am his daughter, they are always surprised and that spur me on to work harder and achieve what I want. To every glory is a story to tell. He is the best dad I could ever wish for. I am so grateful to God and proud.
What’s next for Serah?
I will also be called to bar in New York in January. I passed the final examinations in November and I’m getting set for the January date in New York Supreme Court.
