"Those who are flying, please take Psalm 91. If you are going to fly: 17, 27, 28, in between 17, 27, 28. Write it down. Please, Psalm 91 and be in the Spirit because by the time you are in the Spirit and this Psalm, you observe it, there will be [a] mark in you. Even when you are about to be checked in, something will happen that you will not be able to go – if it is going to take your life. It’s either you miss your flight; it’s either something happens. 17, 27, 28. From that 17 – the whole thing from 17 to the end of the month. Please, in the air, take note and fast and pray."

On Sunday, 11th January 2009, Prophet T.B. Joshua gave a prophetic warning concerning events that were to happen in the coming days within the same month of January. Here is the prophecy:
“Those who are flying, please take Psalm 91. If you are going to fly: 17, 27, 28, in between 17, 27, 28. Write it down. Please, Psalm 91 and be in the Spirit because by the time you are in the Spirit and this Psalm, you observe it, there will be [a] mark in you. Even when you are about to be checked in, something will happen that you will not be able to go – if it is going to take your life. It’s either you miss your flight; it’s either something happens. 17, 27, 28. From that 17 – the whole thing from 17 to the end of the month. Please, in the air, take note and fast and pray. Use Psalm 91, verse 7, 8, 9. Take note of verse 7. ‘A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge.’ ”

In confirmation, the events foretold by Prophet T.B. Joshua began unfolding six days later, on Saturday, 17th January 2009, a military helicopter crashed in the African nation of Gabon, killing at least seven of the 10 soldiers onboard.

“A final soldier remains missing. Searches are continuing," the French presidency said in a statement, adding the two survivors were out of danger.

There was no immediate information on the cause of the crash, but French President Nicolas Sarkozy has ordered a speedy inquiry, the presidency said.

Just as the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied, this event occurred on the 17th of January, the first date specified in the prophecy.

Ten days later, the prophetic message was further confirmed as a FedEx cargo plane crashed in Lubbock, Texas, on the 27th of January 2009, the second date specified in the prophetic message delivered by Prophet T.B. Joshua. Officials say the plane came down at the end of the runway, veered off and caught fire. Both crew members survived and walked away from the plane. They were then taken to hospital for examination.
Further confirmation came on Wednesday the 28th of January 2009, the final date mentioned by the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua in his prophetic message, when a red, single-engine Marchetti airplane carrying two men crashed at the west end of the runway in Santa Monica Airport, California, USA at about 5 pm local time. The plane crashed on the west end of the runway and caught fire, said Ian Gregor of the Federal Aviation Administration. The fire destroyed most of the plane. Friends of the two men identified them as the general manager of an aviation website and a world-travelling Internet business development consultant. Paulo Emanuele, believed to be 46, was the general manager of the airliners.net website. Martin Schaedel, believed to be about 23, was a consultant to FareCompare, an airline fare comparison website.
The confirmation continued through to the end of the month of January 2009 when a succession of three plane crashes occurred in the USA and Colombia. The first of these consecutive incidents took place on Thursday 29th January 2008, at about 3pm local time, when a small plane crashed in an open pasture near Anahuac, about 30 miles east of Houston, Texas, USA, killing all three people onboard.
Another plane crash that caught the world’s attention occurred on Thursday 29th 2009 – when a plane coming into land in Colombia completely flipped upside down when a strong gust of wind caught the back end.  The passengers of a light aircraft which flipped on landing walked away with barely a scratch.
The next day on Friday 30th January 2009 at 1pm, a twin-engine plane crashed near Tri-State Airport, Kenova, West Virginia shortly after the pilot radioed that the aircraft was low on fuel. Three people were killed.
These three aviation crashes which took place on the last days on January 2009 confirm the words of prophecy given by Prophet TB Joshua who instructed the congregation and viewers to be in an attitude of prayer and fasting right to the end of the month of January.
We at Emmanuel TV and The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations pray for those that lost their lives and those that were injured in these air disasters. We thank God for the call to pray and fast that was given by Prophet T.B. Joshua, throughout the month of January, 2009. Without the prayers of God’s people, who knows what the future would have held? We continue to pray for the families, loved ones and victims of these air disasters, that they would find comfort in the thoughts of the great salvation God is able to work for them, as it says in Psalm 91:7-9, the Scripture given by Prophet T.B. Joshua.
