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

I love the ‘evil’ of Prophet T.B Joshua

As we bury T.B Joshua today, we must not bury some of the Christ-like virtues that made him outstanding.

I kept thinking throughout the night – was this how Jesus came, performed miracles, fed the poor, healed the sick and did other good works, but the people despised, hated and killed him? I am not equating any man to Jesus, but T.B Joshua demonstrated more Christ-like virtues than many “God’s Chief Registrars, Chiefs of Staff to Jesus, Assistant God, Deputy God” parading our pulpits today as “masters of the universe”.

They told us how ‘evil’ he was, but were silent on his matrimonial success. He had just one wife and they were married for 31 years… This is Christ-like.

They told us how ‘evil’ he was, but were silent when he fed the poor, built hospitals and schools, responded to humanitarian needs on our streets… This is Christ-like.

They told us how ‘evil’ he was, but kept mute on his humility to board the same coastal bus with his team to go for outreaches. This is Christ-like because even Jesus Christ boarded the same boat with his disciples.

They told us how ‘evil’ he was but kept silent when he brought peace to South Sudan. He was a peacemaker. “Blessed are the Peacemakers…”. This is Chris-like.

Not until his death did I know his wife and even children because he never projected his family. His life and preachings projected Christ more than anything else.

He was Christ-like more than many of his critics whose followers know the “Man of God” than they know the God of men. Whose followers know their ‘father in the Lord’ than they know Christ.

People of the World, please show me one T.B Joshua’s enemy. The same people calling him fake have fellow brethren they call enemies. The same people calling him false prophet have fellow ‘genuine’ pastors that they are not in talking terms with. The same people calling him ‘evil’ have fellow Christians they wish death upon… Between these people and T.B Joshua, who is more like Christ?

If Prophet T.B Joshua was ‘evil’ and he healed the sick, fed the poor, built hospitals, schools and houses for the needy, brought peace to nations of the earth, then I like his kind of ‘evil.’ 

Rest in Peace Prophet T.B Joshua!

STRUGGLING WITH PROPHET TB JOSHUA' S LEGACY

 

The new authority in the Synagogue Church of All Nations SCOAN, in Lagos Nigeria, has published events of the burial ceremony of his founder Prophet TB Joshua. They together with the rest of us, who believe in the works of TB Joshua, are the heirs of his legacy. TB Joshua's influence is globally evident and will shape and create a renewed Christian culture to recover Jesus' Love and Faith-in-Action culture and faith.

 How will the Church assess and inherit TB Joshua’s tall legacy?  The word of the LORD is clearly saying, "Not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of the LORD of Hosts. And who art thou, O great mountain?” (Zechariah 4:6-7). By the grace of God, every mountain shall become a plain. TB Joshua has been a positive and heroic mighty man of God, teaching his followers to live by faith and not by sight. TB Joshua has been courageously confronting the unjust and murderous powers, the dark worlds, including Lucifer, the marine powers and their demons. His faithfulness in serving God despite the dangers it poses, ability to discern God’s voice, his ability to make profound sound judgements for family reconciliation, his love, charity and prayer life, etc., all make TB Joshua a hero of the Good News of Jesus.

Of course, Prophet TB Joshua's legacy is also that of a “troubler” by his numerous foes. This generation thinks that they are entitled to live as they like, speak whatever comes out of their mouth without restrains. TB Joshua endured all name-callings and campaigns of misrepresentation of his intentions. He endured false charges levied against his person or ministry and other misrepresentations maliciously calculated to harm his reputation. He was the target of calumny for his beliefs and acts of goodwill. He was not intimidated by other supposed Christian ministries who made it their objectives not to encourage others but to criticize and condemn. Prophet TB Joshua has never been afraid of campaigns of calumny that could trouble the features of his ministry. He seems more preoccupied with providing for others and solving their difficulties rather than his own. He does not advocate for just his Church nor use violence or foul language.

In Christian history, observers have been learning that some beloved biblical figures are not always as ideal as we would like to believe. Other bible figures make themselves as the most ideal to be followed, and not even Jesus.  At this week events, we'll say that it will be really hard to embrace the shadow side of TB Joshua. We know that Prophet TB Joshua has the power not only to heal and deliver but also to uproot and consume. However, he remained humble, giving his warnings in prophecies and teachings, and letting God do the fighting. He sees beyond his critics and he is living on. Therefore with God's help, the SCOAN shall continue to struggle, through prayer and righteousness, to maintain TB Joshua's legacy and achievements, as the Church looks on to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith.

PROPHET TB JOSHUA LIVES ON IN OUR HEARTS!!

Photo Gallery - EMMANUEL TV TEAM ON MISSION OF CHARITY IN HONOUR OF TB JOSHUA!

 

In honour of the life and legacy of Prophet TB Joshua, the Emmanuel TV Team is currently on a mission of charity to deprived and less privileged communities in Lagos State, Nigeria. The first port of call is the ‘Alaba Rago Home For The Needy’ - a Muslim community comprising of the blind, lepers and physically challenged.

One of the community leaders explained how all the residents were in shock and shed tears upon learning of the divine call home of Prophet TB Joshua following an announcement on the radio with a message of condolence from President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Your loss is our loss because Prophet TB Joshua has been helping this community for years. He is a Christian but he is a man who loves everyone - whether you are a Muslim, Christian or Pagan. We want to plead with you to continue supporting us in the same way he has been helping us all these years,” he said.

The Emmanuel TV Team presented 200 bags of rice and a cash gift of N1,000,000 to the community, assuring them that the relationship Prophet TB Joshua had established and the commitment of the ministry to works of charity would continue.

“Someone out there is waiting for you for a lifetime. You cannot afford to fail them; failing them is failing God. Remember, God is speaking to you through them, saying:

‘They are fatherless, so that you can be their father’.

‘They are lonely, so that you can be their companion’.

‘They are in want, so that you can be their benefactor’.”

- Prophet TB Joshua

The Beauty of Our Achievement By Prophet TB Joshua

 

"It takes faith to maintain your position to the end. The beauty of our achievement is when we are no longer living and the achievement is still there. The glory of our achievement is when we are no longer living but that achievement is still there, lingering on in the eyes and ears of children yet unborn. That is the beauty!

You know, we are not necessarily being blessed by God because of today but we are blessed because of tomorrow when we are no longer living. Because children yet unborn want to see things that can influence them to do right. It’s not necessarily because of today you are blessed but you are blessed because of tomorrow when you are no longer living. 

That achievement continues to live so that our children yet unborn can be influenced in a positive way by our achievements. You will no longer live to educate them, to tell them the right way to follow but what you have achieved will be the one to talk to them, to tell them.

Your concentration is so much on what you want to achieve, what you need. That is your concentration - you want to be this, you want to be that. Vanity upon vanity! If you are known today and you are not known tomorrow, what is the value of it? If your name is written today and vanishes tomorrow, what is the value? Please brothers - think about tomorrow."

- Prophet TB Joshua (15th January 2017)

REMEMBER YOUR EXIT - PROPHET TB JOSHUA

 

"Look, it is too early to say a man is blessed. The beginner is not the owner but the finisher. These are the lessons you should learn. Many heroes have collapsed - great, rich and wealthy men. The beginner is not the owner but the finisher. If you don’t finish well, everything you live for is gone and the history about you is erased. The evil that men do lives after them.

Many of you are being prepared for generations yet unborn - just like the Apostles. They were prepared so that when they died, their work would remain for generations yet unborn. This is what we are seeing now. Anytime you behave - remember your exit. Always think about where your thoughts, attitude and behaviour will be credited to your account. Our account is in our future, not now. You are living now. You are working now. What you are doing now will be credited to our future. What are you doing now that will be credited to your future? If you are doing evil now, that evil will be credited to your future. Are you doing good now? The good you are doing now will be credited to your future - you will find them in the future, where that physical strength is no longer there.

Let us remember our future. My future is my life. That is life - Let me suffer now and enjoy in the future. But to enjoy now and suffer in the future... But how many of us will do this? We are not ready to suffer now and enjoy in the future. So, what we are going through - and you are running from to the witch-doctor, trying to cut the journey, is to prepare you for the future. This is what I have said - God often uses anything to preserve, prepare, strengthen our desire and determination, to stop us for a while and arrange our future. He’s arranging your future. Anything can be used to arrange your future - sickness, disappointment. They will come; you need those experiences." - Prophet TB Joshua (25th February 2018)

Is TB Joshua Demise the End of SCOAN And Emmanuel TV?

 

As we continue to celebrate the life and legacy of Prophet TB Joshua of the Synagogue Church of all nations (SCOAN). Most persons have raised their concern about the future of the SCOAN.

While there is no doubt that most of these concerns are burnout of good well, there were some that were intended to ridicule the memory of our beloved Prophet.

Especially, by pessimist who sees the demise of the Prophet as the rise and fall of the Synagogue Church of all Nations.

They concluded that this may be the end of the ministry of the SCOAN and the name, TB Joshua will soon be forgotten.

The signs and wonders, and the works of charity which the SCOAN is known for will stop. Since TB Joshua who is the face of the ministry is no more.

There were even some comments by critics that those Prophet and prophetesses anointed by TB Joshua won’t be able to perform healing and deliverance anymore since the ‘owner of the power’ is dead.

While one should have chosen to ignore all these uninformed comments by critics, it is imperative to respond as we all watch how things will unfold concerning the future of the SCOAN and those anointed by the Prophet.

Prophet TB Joshua is not the owner or inventor of any ‘anointing power’. The Prophet is simply a carrier of God’s divine grace and nature.

The Prophet was only used by God to anointing the Prophet, Prophetess and Evangelist we all see in the SCOAN and those that have left to open their ministry.

The demise of the Prophet will not stop the move of God, in the life of those God used him to anoints, since the Prophet is not the owner of the anointing, but God is the owner.

The passing on to the Glory of the Prophet is not the end of the move of God in the Ministry of the SCOAN.

The truth is that this is just the beginning of greater works that will be done by God through those anointed by the Prophet to continue from where

 Prophet TB Joshua stopped.

The prophet came to lay the foundation of the Prophetic Ministry and Anointed Apostles around the world.

He has finished the assignment he was sent on earth to do by God and now he has left. Others that have been anointed by God through him will continue with the good works of healing and deliverance.

The grace of God is still there at the SCOAN and generations yet unborn will come and benefit from it.

It is not about TB Joshua, but it is all about God and His will.

As TB Joshua will say, “THE BEAUTY OF ACHIEVEMENT IS WHEN WE NO LONGER LIVE AND OUR ACHIEVEMENT IS STILL THERE, CONTINUING TO LINGER ON IN THE EYES AND EARS OF CHILDREN YET UNBORN.”

The power of God in the SCOAN and the legacy of Prophet TB Joshua will continue to linger on for generations yet unborn.

TB JOSHUA LIVES ON!!

GOOD MORNING AND WIN TODAY!!
