Evelyn Joshua, the wife of the late Prophet TB Joshua has made peace with the demise of her husband. 

The mother of two recognizes that it was God's will for TB Joshua to die on the fateful day. 

Speaking to state officials in Nigeria, Evelyn said;

“What happened was an act of God. There is time for everything, like my husband would say. That was the word I knew from him very well. This is the job he was known for. This is what he was living for. That is what he was going to die for. So, it didn’t come to me as a surprise. I wasn’t surprised when it happened. As we all know, he was in service that day. So, that’s it." 

On June 6, after the Prophet's death, Evelyn took to Twitter to describe how she felt.

"Losing a loved one is never easy; whether sudden or foreseen it’s always heartbreaking. Grief can wreak havoc on our overall well-being. That’s why it’s important to stay rooted to the Almighty. Only He can lessen our heartache and comfort us in these times. Seek refuge in Him," she wrote. 

The burial plans for TB Joshua are underway and he is expected to be laid to rest this week. 

Nigerian state officials will be at the centre of the burial plans.
