Joshua, dubbed "The Prophet" by fanatical followers because of his purported predictions and healing powers, showed footage of the moments leading up to the collapse on his network.
Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said 42 people were killed in Friday's incident, while 130 escaped or were pulled out alive from the rubble.
In the security camera footage, apparently from opposite the vast church compound, what is described as an aircraft is seen over the building four times at 11:30, 11:43 am, 11:45 and 11:54 am.
The uncompleted building, five floors of which are visible above a high wall, is then seen to collapse at 12:44, throwing up huge clouds of dust into the air.
"After the incident, the strange aircraft does not return," a commentary accompanying the images adds.
There was no independent verification of the authenticity of the footage but Joshua has said he would make it available to Nigeria's security agencies.
His Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) is located in Ikotun, near Lagos international airport.
