Prophet T.B. Joshua |
Prophet TB
Joshua, the Bishop and Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN,
may no longer need an elaborate introduction. He's well known both by friends
and foes across the globe. Anytime he enters the congregation goes aglow. But
there is still something significantly missing about Prophet TB Joshua, his
mission and his place in the scriptures in the minds of the public. It is
sufficient for us to tell the world that SCOAN exists to move individuals
closer to Jesus every day, leading to life transformation and changing nations.
This is demonstrated through Prophet TB Joshua's thorough teachings,
demonstration of the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, and engaging and
making disciples for Jesus. In the world today there is no comparable ministry
that reflects Jesus as clearly, precisely and truly as SCOAN. It is only the
grace of God that this Ministry is located somewhere here in Lagos Nigeria, of
all places Africa!!! It is maybe because Africa is perceived as poor but God
knows we are rich in the Spirit.
So who is
Prophet TB JOSHUA? Jesus once conducted a poll about Himself and Peter who gave
the right answer must have done so influenced by the Holy Spirit. Shortly after
when the same Peter knew that Jesus would be going through death on the cross
he pulled Jesus aside and rebuked God's divine plan. Similarly, the dispersed
disciples leaving Jerusalem for Emmaus also took Jesus for a physical political
deliverer of Israel in their discussion. In addition, the Jews were convinced
that Jesus was coming to lead an insurrection and bring Israel to the point of
being a sovereign nation. They like to be a glorious nation. Then the Jews
surrounded Jesus and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If
You are the Christ, tell us plainly", (John 20:24). Hence it is natural
for everyone to know their prophets and their missions respectively.
Prophet TB
Joshua has come to bring the world back to the Bible and pointing the way to
Jesus. This generation has derailed a great deal, totally gone astray on
posterity gospel in particularly, questing to raise large crowds who merely
want to hear what they like and not what God is saying. The race for church
leadership is going to continue to lead to more infighting and killings in the
different congregations. SCOAN is not going to be immured in these struggles in
the future but with a proper foundation and the Holy Spirit leading all shall
be well. Hence SCOAN is a Church that will stand the test of time, with minimum
rebuke from Jesus, if it continues in the path set by its founder. It will be
so hard to advance beyond the spiritual high standard already set but Jesus
told His disciples, "And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon
you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from
on high", (Like 24:49).
