Nigeria 2023 Election: TB Joshua’s Prophecy Concerning APC, PDP (VIDEO)

 

When God speaks, the wise listen. Arguably, the leading prophetic voice in Nigeria to date is the Prophet T.B. Joshua. Interestingly, though sleeping in the Lord, his Prophetic messages are still potent.

In a throwback video released online and obtained from the BOLD MISSION page, the Prophet has already given a sure prophetic warning concerning the current political situation in Nigeria. In the trending video, the clergy whose transition to glory clocked one on Sunday, June 5th, 2022 predicted there will be a leadership tussle regarding who will be the Presidential candidate of the ruling party, APC

He also gave a Prophetic message for the Opposition party, PDP. Except….

This is a message for Nigeria. There will be a leadership tussle on who will lead and who will be the Presidential candidate in the APC and this will affect APC as a Political Party. They should be vigilant. Many are not part of them but they are with them. I repeat again. They should be vigilant. Many are not part of them but they are with them. That is, many are with them in flesh but not with them in spirit. They should be vigilant. It’s a culture, when they hear this, work on it and pray about it. At last, the PDP will pay any price to unite. They will pay any price to unite. I don’t know the price that they will pay but this is what God showed me. That is about PDP.

This area is concerning me and concerning you and is very sensitive. Listen to that: Many of the key leaders of political parties will go down. What will happen will result in the correction of the corruption situation in Nigeria. Many corrupt leaders will go down. The beginner is not the owner but the finisher!

Created in God's Image and Living in His Garment of Glory

 If there is one thing that has set the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) uniquely apart, it will be the attribute of God's Holiness. The Founder of the SCOAN, Prophet TB Joshua was able to carry this mantle of God's holiness and He obtained results. As Jesus was physically leaving His disciples He assured them that, "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, (Luke 24:49). We covet this clothing from above.

What is the best attribute describing our God? We read in Revelation 4:1-8 as Apostle John saw that a door was opened in heaven. He was in the spirit and saw that a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. All those around the throne rested not, but day and night were saying, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come". Therefore Holiness is the attribute of God in whose image He created man, male and female, (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve were initially clothed in this garment of God's Holiness and Righteousness. Physically they were both naked and were not ashamed, (Genesis 2:25). In the spirit, God's Holiness clothed them.

Unfortunately, they were deceived by that old serpent, the devil, or Satan and they fell. Then their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They used human effort, sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons, (Genesis 3:7). That is, they lost their holy estate, their holy garment, and lost eternity to become mere flesh. Jesus had to lecture Nicodemus that, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit", (John 3:6). Prophet TB Joshua knew that we couldn't achieve the things of God by living in the flesh. 

Therefore as we pray along with our Mother in the Lord, Prophetess Evelyn Joshua, it is that she will be clothed with power from on high (Luke 24:49) to do God's exploits. The rest of us need similarly be clothed with heavenly attires. Not because we want results but because that is the fear of the Lord. It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh, together with all its effort, profits nothing. Jesus said that "The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life", (John 3:63). 

We pray that the words that will come out of every SCOAN prophet, whether those that have trained and are on their own, or those still in training, or those coming for prayers and further training, shall be spirit clothing and bringing forth life. The reconciliation, oneness and unity of all SCOAN disciples, prophets, evangelists, wise men, church workers trained by Prophet TB Joshua, is paramount to the work of God. But better still is the living spirit of God in us, working and perfecting our lives for God's purpose and glory. Then every moment we can say, "Good Morning and Win Today".

EVELYN JOSHUA WOWS AT THE MAGNIFICENT REUNION SERVICES OF SCOAN

By Sola Ojewusi

“Surely he would be missed but he would not be missed.”

Those were the words of an observer when Prophetess Evelyn Joshua, widow of the late world renowned televangelist Prophet TB Joshua officially began her new role as Head of the Synagogue Church of All Nations yesterday in Lagos. In fact that paradox best describes the mood at the Synagogue Church of All Nations when the organisation once again threw its gates open for services.

Since the passing of the founder of SCOAN, the world renowned televangelist Prophet TB Joshua in June, there had been a lot of speculations regarding the future of the church. Things even got more complicated with the recent events bordering on the loyalty of the Prophet’s disciples to the new dispensation now headed by the wife of the founder Prophetess Evelyn Joshua.

But in the weeks preceding the event of Sunday, the Prophetess appeared to have quickly settled into the new role and been able to bring the church back to the path laid down by her late husband and mentor. The hugely successful event of Sunday tagged Reunion and Thanksgiving Service was a testimony to the ability of Evelyn Joshua, the new Woman of God to steer the ship. And, as observed by someone at the church that day, “How beautifully she handled things! This is the Lord’s doing!” he concluded.

It was truly a soul stirring day that started with thematic songs that spoke well to the solemn occasion, especially the solo performance of “For the God of the Mountains/Is the God of the valley/God of the good times/Is the God of the bad times…”

The choir, clad in white choir dress and bluish collars, then followed with a rendition of a soulful “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty…”. When a lady chorister in turn led in singing the South African piece, “Malibongwe igam lenkosi” (Let the name of God be praised), the huge crowd of worshippers went into a pious frenzy, singing and dancing along.

It was indeed a full house of congregants from around the world gaily dressed and draped in the flags of their various nation. The crowd in the overflow sections was even much larger than those inside the main building. It was indeed an atmosphere of celebration and the mood of elation was shared across the sections of the full house.

By the time the choir made the rendition of “Yes Lord My world says Yes” composed by the late founder TB Joshua, it was clear that rather than mourn, the church was ready to move on in a celebratory mood.

For those watching on TV and on the various social media platforms of the church, it was a spiritual feast to the eye they would not forget in a hurry. Reading through their comments, it became clear that truly, TB Joshua might have gone to rest, the work he so gloriously started will continue under the able leadership of the Woman in the Synagogue.

According to a Twitter user, “I’m sure TB Joshua would be happy in heaven that the work has continued.” And to an observer who was watching on TV came the emotional words, “TB Joshua, we will always love you. Aluta continua!”

According to Naledi Katz Kyllastinen, one of the SCOAN Facebook page enthusiasts, “The legacy of prophet TB Joshua goes on, from our generation to the next generation and the children of their children. Good grace, good God, He started it and His will our command! We are matching on to the Thrown of Mercy with one accord… SALVATION!” Then came the most anticipated moment.

Prior to this day, people had wondered if the great works of miracles would continue with the passing of TB Joshua. Sunday really answered the nagging questions. And the manifestations continued, putting paid to the questions about continuity of divine healing. As the Prophetess took the floor to preach after showing her gratitude to all who stood by the church, the afflicted began vomiting blood and other poisonous substances on the floor of the church in the glare of International television audiences indicative of divine healing.

From the beginning you could begin to see the manifestations of the vision, that this was an undying endowment despite the transition of its founder. And Prophetess Evelyn Joshua brought out amazing flashes of her anointing. The conclusion of most as the day wore on was that the grace still overflowed at the SCOAN.

Then came the testimony moments. Again, we began to see the return of the good old days when TB Joshua held sway as amazing testimonies came from the congregation. First was that of Tangeni Anasthasia from Cameroon who gave a moving testimony of how she was healed during the night vigil led by Evelyn Joshua.

Another woman, Mrs Ikeduwa Uzodinma who was barren for ten years and was now pregnant also came to share her astonishing miracle, a testimony corroborated by her husband. “God has used this ministry to change my life,” she enthused.

Mr Samuel Banigo who had leg cancer and was due for amputation before taking the anointing water from SCOAN and was totally healed was another testifier. His story sent tears of joy flowing among the congregation.

Then came the big moment. With the eyes of the world in her, Prophetess Evelyn Joshua came in calm cool and collected, oozing the confidence of a woman of mission. And how well she carried the mantle, giving assurance to observers that all was well at the SCOAN, that the Prophet might have passed, the Prophetess has risen. “He is with us here today in spirit,” she told the church of her husband.

While dedicating the church to the Lord, she prayed for the congregation, assuring that the church “will forever be grateful for what God Almighty has used his servant to do in this house.”

Quoting Roman 8:35 beginning with “Who shall separate us from the love of

CHRIST?” she expressed her gratitude to the church, the Emmanuel TV partners and all well-wishers. She centred her sermon on the title: “The Decision of a Champion.” One of the highlights of her exhortation was the statement: “You must do something you hate in order to create something you love.” She also urged the church to “Reposition yourself for goodness…”, reminding all that “Jesus is the roadmap to the lost…”

And as she rounded off, signs that she was going to take the path of reconciliation were shown when she acknowledged the presence of the mentees of Prophet TB Joshua, the wise men who worked with the late prophet and appeared to be ready to cooperate with the church.

For their support and loyalty, the woman of God thanked the five Wisemen, Harry, Daniel, John Chi, Christopher and Racine.

Among the artistes that graced the event with soul stirring performances were Mike Abdul whose ministration brought the house to a celebratory frenzy. The atmosphere of praise, camaraderie and glory would not be forgotten in a hurry. The refrain of “O ja Sope” also reflected the mood of triumph over the adversity of recent times. It was indeed a day of profound Alleluia at the Synagogue!

It was indeed an unforgettable day at the SCOAN. The church looks safe under the new leadership. As observed by many, the future looks bright and Evelyn Joshua appears ready for universal impact.

Prophet Harry Thoughts on the SCOAN Thanks Giving and Reunion Service

People of God, GOOD MORNING! What a wonderful day it is; it is indeed as it should be by divine will!

I am writing to you from Lagos, Nigeria, where I am to honour my mentor, my father, my teacher – the man who changed my life through Christ – God’s servant Prophet T. B. Joshua.

It is a day of joy, because though my mentor is not amongst us in the body, the Spirit of the Lord that abided in Him is moving mightily in our midst! I know that so many of you have joined our mother in the Lord, Mrs. Evelyn Joshua, and along with the thousands of believers physically in attendance of today’s powerful service you have become witnesses of the Lord Jesus’ promise! For in John 14, He promised not to leave us orphans but to give us another Helper, that He may abide with us forever; and the Helper has moved with fire amongst us today!

Today’s service is a proof that those who make Jesus their source shall find Him to be all sufficient! It is indeed a proof of what my father, Prophet T. B. Joshua, frequently said; that for those whose lives are centred in Christ Jesus the best is always yet to come!

With renewed joy in my heart I leave you with the assurance that as you too continue to relax in the precious arms of the Holy Ghost, the best is yet to come in your lives as well!

The Almighty God is with us!

- Man of God Harry

Who's Your Spiritual Leader? Prophet TB Joshua is Mine

Prophet TB Joshua

 When I think of a spiritual leader that has positively impacted my life, Prophet TB Joshua readily comes to my mind without a rival.  This is a friend who helps my faith grow stronger, helps me to see Jesus more closely and to experience the Holy Spirit at work.

TB Joshua would call me on many occasions to give me assignments to do for the Church or him. Those who assisted us in the NYSC regarding the posting of NYSC requests from the Church will remember. The SCOAN office in Lokoja he assigned me to oversee and introduced me to members of the Lokoja SCOAN family will also remember. This is a prophet who will give you an assignment and will pay for everything himself. TB Joshua is not just an honest and down to earth friend he is too generous to a fault. I see Christ resemblance completely in him and the first Christian to have made such an impact in me.

Our advice is that everyone will find a leader to look up to and grow their faith accordingly. Jesus said to each of His disciples, "Follow Me". Once they follow their burdens and desires become that of Jesus. They don't have to pray, "Bless me, Heal me, Make a way for me, etc." Instead they receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and His Fire for boldness and they see the Light.

May you encounter Jesus today and get out of mere religious-cultural routines. Follow Jesus and you won't go astray anymore.

Did Evelyn Joshua Evicted TB Joshua’s Disciple out of SCOAN?

 

There have been videos circulating on social media showing supposed disciples of TB Joshua packing their belongings out of the SCOAN. Those packing were alleged to have been evicted by our Mummy, Mrs Evelyn Joshua, the wife of Prophet TB Joshua. This latest episode is being purported to be part of a leadership tussle going on at the SCOAN.

Why one would have chosen to remain silent from this falsehood been spread by mischief makers who have been imagining a leadership tussle which in reality is non-existing, but for the sake of clarifying to the public who may be misled by this falsehood and start making false judgment hence this clarification.

It is important to know that there is no leadership tussle at the SCOAN and Mrs Evelyn Joshua did not evict TB Joshua’s disciples out of the SCOAN.

Those who are alleged to have left SCOAN left there at their own accord. Mrs Evenly Joshua is a kind-hearted mother with an embodiment of love just as her husband Prophet TB Joshua, she is not taken any revenge on anyone or trying to position herself as the general overseer of the SCOAN.

We must recognize the fact that she has a legal claim to everything at the SCOAN, including becoming the spiritual head as the general overseer. She is, however, not desperate for any position instead she has to commit everything under God’s will.

Mrs Evelyn Joshua was recently confirmed as one of the trustees of the SCOAN, by the Church constitution there are three trustees since the husband demise it is normal for her the wife to take her husband place as the trustees and this is part of the state law for organisations that are regulated by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria.

This position as one of the trustees of the SCOAN is to fulfil all righteousness following the state laws. Mrs Evelyn Joshua has never claim to be the new general overseer of the SCOAN, she called her position “human Leadership” of the Church.

That alone is to confirm her sense of humility and to buttress the fact that she is open to God’s will and not in any way in a hurry or desperate to make herself the general overseer of the SCOAN.

Normally, not every one of TB Joshua’s disciples and Church workers may want to work with the new leadership at the SCOAN and those that are leaving are doing it at their own will and not that they are being evicted has been reported in the News and social media.

It is also important we understand that those that are leaving are not in any way bad persons it’s just their personal decision which every one of us most respect. They are still our brethren in the vineyard of Christ and we all have to always put them in our prayers.

As it stands right now, Mrs Evelyn Joshua needs all our support, prayers and love. She has made us understand in her speech that SCOAN is open to everyone.

We pray for God’s wisdom upon our mummy, Mrs Evenly Joshua in the cause of her new "human leadership" position in piloting the affair of the SCOAN. We as well pray for more understanding and unity of purpose amongst the disciples, workers and SCOAN family worldwide.

The gate of hell shall not prevail against the Church.

TB Joshua Legacy Lives on! Emmanuel! God With Us!

IS THE SCOAN A FAMILY BUSINESS SUBJECT TO INHERITANCE?

There is a difference between Mr TB Joshua and Prophet TB Joshua

The Synagogue Church of all Nations is neither a Family Business nor a property that is subject to inheritance

The Prophet gave instructions which are to be followed prayerfully  

Glory to Our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ whom according to His wisdom called home His Prophet to rest in His abode. May His name be praised forevermore! Amen!

As faithful disciples at the SCOAN continue to wait at the ‘upper room’ in prayers of faiths and the fullness of the Holy Spirit for impartation, grace and strength in continuances of the move of God at the SCOAN, this seemingly delay seems to be generating mixed feelings amongst many who may have purported this to be a leadership crisis at the SCOAN.

Many expect that as it is done out there, immediately, after the internment of the Prophet, a new leadership should have been ceremoniously installed – someone who will take over the mantel of leadership from Prophet TB Joshua.

This unconventional move by the SCOAN seems to be generating rumours that are being spread by mischief-makers. Alleging that a group of ‘powerful TB Joshua’s women’ at the SCOAN are against Evelyn Joshua assuming the leadership role at the SCOAN.

Understandably, many may be sympathetic to the wife of the Prophet, Evenly Joshua to assume the role of her late husband, but it is important to know that this is not how things of the Spirit are done.

Does that mean Evelyn Joshua cannot take over as the General overseer of the SCOAN? Far from it.

Evelyn Joshua is herself a disciple of Prophet TB Joshua, she is qualified to take over from her late husband, just as every other Prophet, Prophetess and Evangelist at the SCOAN are also qualified to take over the leadership mantel of the Prophet.

If someone else is appointed as the new leader does that mean she will just concede everything to them?

We must understand that the Prophet Wife, Evelyn Joshua does not need to be the General oversee of the SCOAN to continue to function as the Mother of all nations.

She is the wife of the Prophet and nobody can take that away from her and she has a huge role to play in the management of the affairs of the SCOAN and also sustaining the legacy of her husband. However, she doesn’t have to be ceremoniously installed as the general overseer of the SCOAN to play that role.

We also need to know that most of these questions about succession have long been answered in the past by Prophet TB Joshua. Remember that our God is not the author of confusion.

True followers of the Prophet should have known by now what the Prophet stands is on the issue of succession and they should by now be counselling the wife and the disciples accordingly if at all there is an issue being generated about it.

Let’s take a look at the Prophet words in his last interview. Remember that the words of a man in his last days hold huge significance.

Prophet TB Joshua has always emphasised the fact that his biological life is different from his Spiritual life. He will always say there is a difference between Mr TB Joshua and Prophet TB Joshua.

When he was asked why much is not known about his wife and family he said “…I would have loved my wife to be like me but I cannot make her what I am; it is God. It is not possible for me to anoint her, God is the one that anoints people. So, it is not possible for her to sit here at the same time, this is not biological issue; it is an inheritance from the saints, it is a partaker from the saints. Therefore, I should not use anything in my biological life to stop my spiritual life.

I am a native of Arigidi Akoko but as for my divine nature I am a partaker of the inheritance of the saints, therefore, it is so difficult for me. This is an apostolic ministry. It is not a ministry you read bible, go to theology school, you get it and you start preaching. No! It is purely divine. So, it is so difficult for me to display my wife, she has to be ready for God. As much as you are ready for God, God will display her.”

In the same interview, when the Prophet was asked about the issue of succession, he said “This is where God comes in; it is not a business venture. If it is God, then it is God and then it is true. The issue of family should not come into the issue of the church – that is it; it is undeserved grace. ”

I don’t think anybody loves TB Joshua’s Biological daughters and wife, Evelyn Joshua more than Prophet TB Joshua.

The Prophet has continued to emphasise that the Synagogue Church of all nations is neither a family business nor a property that is subject to inheritance.

Therefore, don’t use SCOAN to compare other Churches where the wife or the first son took over after the death of the husband or father. After all, there are also other popular Churches out there, which we don’t want to mention names where neither the wife nor family member took over as the general overseer when the founder passed away.

Even in the same interview, the Prophet seems to be suggesting that the Five Prophets and Prophetesses at the SCOAN right now have taken over from him.

Saying “There are five prophets and prophetesses; they are working. They have taken over from me already. There is an American, a British, a French, and a Nigerian.”

I won’t miss words to say that anybody who is trying to push Evelyn Joshua or any of the disciples to go against the will of the Prophet does not mean well for the SCOAN. The Prophet has always warned us to beware of good intentions people. We are not here to glorify men’s emotion or sentiment but lay open to the divine will of God.

The SCOAN has said they are not dealing with leadership issues and that there were instructions given to them by the Prophet. I think our prayers now is for God to give them the grace to follow that instruction and not fall prey to distractors and opinionists whose intentions call to questions.

TB Joshua Lives On.

TB Joshua Taught us to Take the Bold Step for Jesus Christ

After the Pentecost Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer. There at the gate of the temple they came across a certain man lame from his mother's womb begging alms. Peter and John were also candidates the lame asked an alms. But Peter fastened his eyes on the lame man and said, "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have to give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk". Peter took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. In this wise Peter and John took a bold step for Jesus Christ. Prophet TB Joshua, the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, always used every opportunity to take a bold step for Jesus. He made healing, giving, prophesying, teaching, etc, looked so easy. He also confronted multiple adversaries from the kingdom of darkness with simplicity and courage. Critics even thought that TB Joshua was not praying over the cases, or simply dramatizing them. There was no spirit of fear or spirit of timidity in TB Joshua for God has not given us the spirit of fear. 

In the daily warfare for the kingdom of God, the Christian meets with seemingly numerous difficulties. It is an essential reminder to Christians of any generation and degree that all cowardice, all dread of danger, all shrinking from doing one's duty for fear of man's displeasure, proceeds not from the Spirit of God. From the Spirit of God proceeds the spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind. 

Part of the legacy of TB Joshua is the understanding that through the grace of God, it is expected that each one he has impacted, will daily take a bold step for Jesus Christ. Our business will henceforth be going out to do exploits for God (Daniel 11:32); because we know God, we are made strong in God and we can do the exploits through the spirit of God. Already we have seen the signs that though we may not see TB Joshua physically with us but God remains our present help forever. God is our God forever and ever and He will be our guide even unto death. Ephesians (4:11-12) states that God gives to the church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers “for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ". The holy spirit will equip everyone to do the work of the ministry. Every Christian should see their main business as serving God and therefore taking a bold step for Jesus Christ Daily.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: SUCCESSION BATTLE IN THE SCOAN

The of Prophet TB Joshua Legacy Lives On

Following the fake news that is being spread on Social Media about an alleged succession battle over who will be the next General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) since the demise of Prophet TB Joshua.

The SCOAN has now officially released a statement from their official Social Media pages to debunk the rumour to be completely false and should therefore be disregarded.

The statements make it clear that there was an instruction by the Prophet before his demise and that is what they will follow concerning how the SCOAN will be run.

This is, however, not the first time there has been circulation of fake news since the demise of Prophet T.B. Joshua about who will take over from him.

There was the news that some imaginary elders and a group of family members come together to agree to appoint the Prophet wife, Evelyn Joshua to take over as the new General overseer of The SCOAN.

This was around when the wife of the Prophet and the entire SCOAN family were still mourning and preparing for the burial celebration of the Prophet.

It is important the Public know that SCOAN is an Apostolic Ministry that is led by the Spirit of God.

The SCOAN doesn't operate by man-made conventions and theory. Every action in the SCOAN is subject to the directive of the Holy Ghost.

So also is concerning the new leadership of the SCOAN, it will not be based on public opinion, men's emotions, convention and perceptions, it will be based on the directive of the spirit of God.

We understand these are very important moments for the ministry of SCOAN.

We pray for God to grant those at the SCOAN Headquarter the grace to continue to be submissive to His perfect Will in Jesus’ Name! Amen!

Below is the SCOAN official statement:

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

“Our attention has been drawn to an article published in This Day Newspaper on Wednesday July 14th 2021 titled: 'Synagogue: Succession Battle Begins as THISDAY Interview is Cited as Evidence.'

The contents of the article regarding an alleged 'succession battle' are completely false and should therefore be disregarded. We want to inform the general public that there  is no succession battle at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN). We are sons and daughters of love and shall continue to let love lead as we follow the instructions laid down by Prophet TB Joshua.

Thank you for your prayers and support as we continue to honour the life and legacy of Prophet TB Joshua.”

The Burial of TB Joshua Can't End His Legacy

 

Prophet TB Joshua (1963-2021)

Most of us watched the burial ceremonies of our beloved Prophet TB Joshua, the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, from the distance. Many can't even watch because of the emotional attachment and the sweet memories shared with this great man of God. Truly Prophet TB Joshua Lives on in our hearts and in different peoples and communities he was able to impact. He was able to put a significant stamp on the future of the Christian Faith in particular and faith in general.  He made a great contribution to future missionary generations. He made people feel that their lives mattered and that every life is significant with its mission. That he was buried away has not reduced the effects of his teachings and his works. Rather his life and time have become an index, a benchmark, a biblical reference point. Unfortunately, his critics have to sit up and reflect on their missions in life, otherwise, life will sweep them away and nobody will remember them.

A Bible verse we'd learned from Sunday School as a song is Romans 10 verse 9. Romans 10:9. It says that "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved". Prophet TB Joshua expanded on it to mean that, "There is power in your mouth, the belief in your heart, realized by faith...". He was able to accomplice many miracles holding to this biblical principle.

Prophet TB Joshua also introduced many powerful spirit-lifting songs. One of them is that "Sin Power Over Me is Broken". This has become a popular lyric and translated into many languages and dialects. It will live on forever as part of songs of encouragement and life assurance. Nobody can take this away from TB Joshua by their wired wishful conspiracy theory thinking. The prophet is leaving us with many writings, songs, teachings, and evangelical lifestyle that touches the sinners and common people on the streets. The institutions he built are rational, accessible and affordable to the entire human race.

We have been praying to God to give us the strength to accept this death as coming from Him because just as Jesus matters to the human race, entire Palestine and the Jews in it so has Prophet TB Joshua brought renewed light of Jesus Christ's teaching. In the coming days, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, the bigger legacy of TB JOSHUA will become much more widespread and real. His disciples will prove this through the promise of the Father when they are clothed with power from on high, (Luke 24:49).

TB JOSHUA LIVES ON AND THANK YOU JESUS

DIGNITARIES’ PAYS FINAL RESPECT AS TB JOSHUA REMAINS LAID TO REST

The remains of Prophet TB Joshua was interred yesterday, 10th July 2021 in the premises of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) Ikotun, Lagos State, after week-long funeral rites, activities tagged: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Prophet Joshua (1963 to 2021) – Not Mine But God’s Own.

Thousands of Faithfull from different races, cultures and countries who attended the interment service described the Prophet as a man who lived for God and humanity.

One of the high of the internment was when a lady under the influence of the Holy Ghost prophesied just after the remains of the Prophet was being taken inside the SCOAN Auditorium saying “He is so powerful; he said I should tell you that he is not dead; he is around you all, he said you should not be afraid, he is with you…” and the congregation shouted, Amen!!

Dignitaries who witnessed the colourful interment included Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu; Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Orimisan; Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by Lagos State Commissioner for Home Affairs; Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State; Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of Former President Good Luck Jonathan; Mr Anofiu Elegushi; Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II represented by his wife, Olori Silekunola Naomi; a delegation from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN); Bashorun Dele Momodu, CEO/ Publisher, Ovation magazine; Chief David Lyon, former governorship candidate in Bayelsa State; Mr Zaied Abdalla, from Israel were among dignitaries that were in attendance when Prophet TB Joshua remains was laid to rest in the SCOAN.

The first Bible reading was taken from First Corinthians 15: 51 – 57 and was read by Governor Akeredolu, after which Bishop Stephen Ogedengbe of the Wisdom of Chapel Ministry explained the passage.

The cleric urged Christians to emulate the exemplary life of love lived by Prophet TB Joshua.

Ogedengbe said: “The character of a true believer is to find refuge in our Lord Jesus. That is why children of God are not afraid in reaching the final destination – death. Heaven is our home, our dwelling place.”

According to him, Joshua had always mentioned that those from above longed to be there.

Minister Ayoub Kara from Israel took the second Bible reading from Revelation 21: 1-7, while Pastor Robert Acosta from Argentina preached a sermon from it.

Acosta said that Christians should follow Christ “because outside Jesus there is no reality.”

He said that Joshua did so many miracles and showed much love to many people.

After the sermon, Akeredolu and the representative of Governor Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State delivered speeches.

Sanwo-Olu told the congregation that the late prophet fulfilled his destiny on earth by living for others.

He encouraged Christians to long for the spirit of dedication as shown by the SCOAN founder.

“His life should encourage us to renew our hope in Christ. Unity, peace, progress and love should be our watchword as Christians,” he said.

He urged Christians to emulate the late prophet’s life and live in peace with everyone without discriminating.

In his speech, Akeredolu described the death of Joshua as a huge loss to the people of Ondo State, Nigeria and the world at large. He revealed that the traditional ruler of his hometown, Arigidi Akoko in Akoko North local council of Ondo State, Oba Yisa Olanipekun, had mobilised him to ensure that Joshua’s remains would be buried in the town.

He noted that Joshua contributed immensely to the emancipation of the downtrodden, orphans, widows and other less privileged people.

“Joshua remains the only person who died and market men and women closed their shops for one week in his home town. Kabiesi mobilised me for the body of Joshua to be buried in his hometown because he was convinced that we should bring the body to Arigidi. And I said to Kabiesi that our late prophet has a family and where his remains will lie is for the family to decide not for him.

“I have to let you know that prophet T.B. Joshua came from Arigidi, Ondo State. He is a Nigerian but doesn’t take it away; he is a world citizen,” he said.

Speaking on Joshua’s impact in Ondo State, he recalled that when he was first elected as the governor of the state, the prophet gave his family a huge amount of money, adding that he also paid up the electricity bills of four local councils who were in darkness for years.

“T.B. Joshua’s demise is not only a loss to Ondo State or the world, it is a loss to humanity. I am not sure we have had a world congregated in this number from different countries, probably during Nelson Mandela’s burial. But the world is more represented here than when Nelson Mandela was buried,” Akeredolu added.

After the final laying to rest of the Prophet, there was a replay of the Prophet TB Joshua Mass prayer and there were manifestations of the power of God with many falling under the influence of the Holy Ghost, vomiting poisonous substance and receiving their healings in Jesus’ name.

These brought Joy to the congregation who started singing; He is Alive Amen!! Jesus is Alive, Forever He is Alive Amen!!

PROPHET TB JOSHUA LIVES ON!

EMMANUEL! GOD WITH US!!

TB Joshua the Herald of the Possibilities We Enjoy in Christ

 

It is still very difficult for many of us to accept that we may not see Prophet TB Joshua imparting his "God sent" hands-on us physically again. He was the focal point. For example, in February 2020, just before the covid-19 global epidemic, a visitor from Tanzania confided in me, when we were on the prayer ground, that Prophet TB Joshua was the main reason that brought them to Nigeria. Hence it is envisaged that the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, may be different without its Founder. Nevertheless, the legacies he left behind are strong enough for continuity. The type of gates Prophet TB Joshua built around SCOAN, is a "Dynamic-Absolute-Faith in Jesus Christ". Normally the protection of a city would depend on the strength or power of its gates, during times of adversities like this, the gates of that city would usually be the first place of assault.

The acronym SCOAN does not refer to a building or an organization, but to people across the globe who have been taught to understand their identity in Jesus Christ, His completeness and sufficiency. In (Matthew 16:18), Jesus said that “…you are Peter (TB Joshua, SCOAN, you may insert your name if you know Jesus)  and upon this Rock, (upon this revelation of My true identity), I will build My CHURCH, (SCOAN). Every Christian Ministry should learn lessons from TB Joshua and from SCOAN instead of just carelessly passing judgment, criticism, abuses on things they have the least information.

Many lessons can be learned by observing the life of another, in particular between TB Joshua and those under him. We can learn from their habits and disciplines, how they relate to others, and even from their faults, beyond news media speculations and gossips that depart from the truth. The relationship between Elisha and Elijah the master provides an excellent example.  Elisha was destined for a double portion, but if he had never first offered himself as a servant to Elijah, he would have remained a farmer, never be known and never performed the amazing miracles that blessed the lives of so many others. The final time Elisha spent with his master indicates his total loyalty to his call. In (2 Kings 2:6-7) we read that, "Elijah said to Elisha, 'Stay here, for the LORD has told me to go to the Jordan River.' But again Elisha replied, 'As surely as the LORD lives and you live, I will never leave you.' So they went on together. Fifty men from the group of prophets also went and watched from a distance as Elijah and Elisha stopped beside the Jordan River." (2 Kings 2:6-7 NLT).

One lesson all prophets have to learn from Elijah is the test he set for Elisha the then-upcoming young prophet.  Three times Elijah told Elisha to stay behind, but each time Elisha the student refused to leave his master's side. Others were watching from a distance, but Elisha wanted a close-up and personal view of what God was about to do in Elijah's life. The fifty others watching from a distance were not left with the double portion, only Elisha the one who had persevered. Today many so-called prophets are not just watching from the distance but they constitute themselves to police of the social media and judges of the open social court. In (Matthew 12:27,36-37 KJV) we also read,  "If I (Jesus) by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words, thou shalt be condemned."

Therefore let us all take to heart as Prophet TB Joshua remains are laid within the SCOAN premises. The Saki of Arigidi and his entire Arigidi's Elder Forum and Council of Chiefs' efforts to bring the body of one of their illustrious sons to be buried in Arigidi are highly appreciated. The world has come to know TB Joshua not because he came from Arigidi in Nigeria but because of his works. His works are what all of us must support to continue so that he, Prophet TB Joshua, can continue to live on in all hearts. We are praying hard for the continuity of all TB Joshua's Ministries. Even as he used to say that. "Better is not good enough, the Best is yet to come", so it shall be. Prophet TB Joshua's life is therefore the herald of the possibilities we have in Jesus Christ if only we can truly believe. 

PROPHET TB JOSHUA LIVES ON!!

FORMER NIGERIAN PRESIDENT JONATHAN PAYS TRIBUTE TO PROPHET TB JOSHUA

 

"I am saddened to hear about the death of Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua known as TB Joshua, the Spiritual Leader of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), at a young age of 57.

TB Joshua was a devout man of God who served God and humanity with relentless passion. He was a man of sound doctrine, meek and faithful to his call and passion of reconciling men to God and offering hope to humanity.

As a Christian leader, TB Joshua and his Ministry exemplified Christ in faith, love and charity; positively impacting the lives of many Nigerians, Africans and millions of people across the world.

I condole with his family, his church and millions of his followers across the world. May God grant them peace and strength to cope with this loss."
