"Prophet T.B. Joshua announced in The SCOAN Saturday Prayer Line that 4,000 bottles of New Anointing Water have arrived in the nation of Sierra Leone, alongside $50,000 in humanitarian aid, to
support the ongoing crises there caused by the disease of Ebola," explained a post on the Facebook page of TB Joshua Ministries.
"The Anointing Water was sent in a private jet that cost an additional $50,000 to charter, making $100,000 given by Prophet T.B. Joshua and the Emmanuel TV Partners to reach out to the troubled nation," it ended.
Joshua who leads the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Nigeria explained on the church's website that God is powerfully expressing himself through the Anointing Water he distributes.
"By using the Anointing Water, you are symbolically setting yourself apart for Jesus Christ's special attention as you pray in faith. I mean, you are positioned for mercy, favor, healing, deliverance, blessing, prosperity and fruitfulness," said Joshua.
"It is not the Anointing Water that heals the sick but Jesus Christ Himself. There must be faith both in the person praying and in the person being prayed for. Prayer must proceed from and be accompanied with a lively faith. It is this that brings about the healing, not the Anointing Water," he was quick to add.
Users of the Anointing Water have profess their faith in the product, claiming many miracles including deliverance from barrenness andmaking a car bullet-proof.
Joshua, who was reported by Forbes to be worth about $10 - $15 million in 2011, has been a controversial figure for several years now due to his bold claims to be able to heal incurable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, cancer and paralysis. Forbes also notes that he is also one of the most philanthropic preachers as well giving away more than $20 million to charity.
