Nigerian charismaniac "prophet" T.B. Joshua performs "healings" on men with overactive or permanently erect penises

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Romans 16:17-18

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
II Corinthians 11:13-15

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
II Peter 2:1-3

North American televangelists and false prophets are known for making preposterous claims, but I've never heard even Ernest Angley say "You malfunctioning penile demons come OUT!" As is the case with other charismaniac claims, I doubt that the evidence for the alleged healings performed by "Prophet" T.B. Joshua will stand up. As reported by John Owen Nwachukwu of the Lagos Daily Post, June 12, 2017:

The founder and General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, prophet T.B Joshua, has reportedly healed a man who has been having persistent erection for 5 months now after patronizing prostitutes.

According to the report, the young man, identified as Sunday went in with a prostitute after attending church with his father, earlier that day.

When he got home that evening after sleeping with the woman, his erection remained.

As he confessed in front of the church members, he could hardly stand or move, even sitting was difficult as a result of his erection.

Sunday told the church that he was forced to explain his plight to his father who took him to the doctors who could only recommend an operation.

They declined and continued making efforts to solve his excruciatingly painful problem.

Sunday Akinrinwa became housebound for five months because of the permanent erection!

His father who is a reputable man in Ondo state, brought him to SCOAN.

The whole process was shown live on Emmanuel TV.

When Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed for Sunday, his whole body began to shake.

After the prayer, Prophet T.B. Joshua told him to urinate.

The young man advised youth that they should not fornicate or commit adultery but rather commit their ways to God.
"Prophet" T.B. Joshua followed that with a similar event, as reported by Nsikak Nseyen in the Daily Post, October 10, 2017 (links in original):

The founder and General Overseer of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry, Warri, Delta State, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, a.k.a, Warri TB Joshua, has shocked the world again when he prayed for a man with rectal mal-function in front of his members. The man who almost went unclad was believed to be tormented by a spirit. He had his penis controlled by the pastor before the congregants; as it tossed up and down inside his boxers.

Recall that the pastor recently prayed for an obese woman to lose weight, with no visible result at the end.

Few months back, he called out single men and women in his church and asked them to select their partners from among themselves.

The Warri based acclaimed man of God had told his critics that they were indirect promoters of his ministry, stressing that criticisms spur and encourage him to do more for the people.

In the video trending online, the pastor constantly commanded the man’s penis and it obeyed, even as it tossed up and down to the awe of the onwatchers.

The man’s manhood protruded to an outrageous limit in front of the members.
For some strange reason, the video of the event described above has been removed from the page.

"Prophet" T.B. Joshua makes some unusual claims about his background, as reported by Mr. Nwachukwu in the Daily Post, January 27, 2018:

The founder of the Synagogue Church of all Nations, SCOAN, Temitope Balogun Joshua, popularly called T.B, Joshua, has made some shocking revelations about his beginning.

Speaking in a interview with Vangaurd, T.B Joshua said he spent over 15 months in his mother’s womb.

The renowned cleric also revealed some mysteries that came with his early development, while giving account of his school days.

Joshua said, “Don’t forget, that I was born in a rustic village of Arigidi in Akoko, Ondo state, Nigeria; I spent 15 months in my mother’s womb.

“My birth and early development was said to be shrouded in mysteries after narrowly escaping a boulder from a nearby quarry which came crashing inches near me in my parents’ house hence the name ‘Temitope’, meaning “what you (God) has done for me is worthy of thanks,” I attended St. Stephens’ Anglican Primary School but failed to complete secondary school due to poverty.

“While in primary school, I was referred to as the small pastor and led evangelical activities. My ambition to join the Nigerian Army crashed after the train that was to convey me developed fault along the way and left me stranded for six days.

“I also washed people’s feet on the muddy corners of Lagos and worked as a poultry attendant to earn a living. My ministry, (The SCOAN), alongside the Emmanuel TV Partners, had today become synonymous with acts of charity, healing and humanitarian efforts across the globe.”
As they used to say in Get Smart, "I find that very hard to believe."
