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!

The Harvest is Plenty But the Labourers are Few

We read in Luke Chapter 10: 1-2 how Jesus appointed seventy disciples and sent them two by two to go into every city and place He would come. Jesus said o them, "The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest". This was the Lord Jesus Christ's grand work. Jesus is bringing both physical and spiritual restoration to this dying and decaying world. As a worker in the field, it is necessary first to be transformed so that we can participate in Jesus' work of salvation.

Jesus has explained these concepts clearly in Matthew (13:38-39). Jesus explains that the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the kingdom, and the tares are the children of the wicked one. The enemy that sowed tares is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world and the reapers are the angels.

The Prophet TB Joshua, Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), and our celebrant of June 5th have been one of the Labourers sent out to work in the field. His impact, his teaching and how he has fought gallantly with the enemy of God that is sowing tares around, is what we are celebrating. It is necessary also for each labourer to look inward and depend solely on God's Promise of the Holy Spirit and the Sword of the Spirit. Jesus is sending us out but Jesus is coming behind us too. He isn't leaving us alone. There is no place for laziness, complacency, or relying on resources outside Jesus' provision. On some occasions, Jesus says we shouldn't take anything extra but at other times to put on the whole armour of God, (Ephesians 6:11).

As we mark the First Anniversary of our beloved Prophet TB Joshua, (maybe as his wife, children, those who learned under him for several years, those he was able to touch in one way or so, those who merely follow him on Emmanuel TV and Partners, even his critics and adversaries), let us not forget to work sufficiently hard in God's harvest field. TB Joshua was an effective pastor, prophet, church leader, preacher, and a man filled with the Holy Ghost. Any other Church, different from SCOAN, would have been fortunate to have him lead their congregation. He was able to bring Jesus into action and he contributed to the harvest. Unfortunately, the right workers are still very few indeed today. We ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest field.

Prophet TB Joshua Is Living On In Our Hearts As Our Rallying Point

 

Sunday, June 5, 2022, will mark the first anniversary and celebration of the life and time of the Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet TB Joshua. He passed away on Saturday, June 5, 2021, just seven days before his 58th birthday. On any human scale, it would have been an immeasurable loss to the Church, the family, the devastating disciples and followers, and the national and international communities. Even Arigidi Akoko, his home town couldn't believe he could die. Hence His Royal Highness, the Saki of Arigidi, declared all markets and shops to close immediately on hearing the news.

Less than a year after, SCOAN, led by the Prophet's wife, Mama Evelyn Joshua, is moving on because the cause for which TB Joshua has come to represent does not allow for mourning or to be sorrowful about.  His life can only be celebrated because it is a life devoted entirely to the service of God and humanity, and such that people can see Christ in action. He made the mission of Jesus easier and clearer for people to appreciate. He would dress simply, and mingle freely and humbly with people. His teachings are simple, Biblical, and relate to everyday life without unnecessary ceremonies or rituals. We see Jesus Christ in him. No wonder his wife could step in as if nothing has happened because of the openness and sincerity of the purpose of the original mission. It is a celebration of the life of a worthy prophet of God with a mission. Therefore we are less sad. In all this God has a purpose in everything and unto God, we commit everything including each soul. We must all join our faith together as one united in Christ, to pray for the perfection of what God has started in SCOAN, even under the leadership of Evelyn Joshua.

As we celebrate this great prophet of our time we equally remember not just the SCOAN in Lagos but every offshoot and work of TB Joshua. In particular, we remember every disciple that learned under the prophet, praying for a renewed, fresh and abundant anointing on them and their ministries. Prophet TB Joshua had crusades around the world. Our prayers also go to those who through this crusade activity gave their lives to Jesus. The goal of Prophet TB Joshua is that Jesus must be honoured as the kingdom of God expands on earth. Also that everyone will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through the Word demonstrated in deliverance, prophecy, healing, teaching and compassionate giving. Prophet TB Joshua's disciples will do well to let love lead them and be guided by the Word of God every moment, even in this perilous time. Jesus has promised to send the Promise of the Father to clothe us with power from above, (Luke 24:49). May you receive the fullness of the Holy Ghost Power in your daily life.

Just as we believe that the life of Prophet TB Joshua was to fulfil God's mission even so we individually must wait on God our heavenly father to send us out on our divine missions. Meanwhile, TB Joshua will remain a rallying point for many Christians around the globe from now to eternity. This alone is a major reason for celebration. Unless we are blessed, favoured and given from above no Christian leader can achieve this status Prophet TB Joshua has achieved. Apostle John said it better when he said, "A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven", (John 3:27). Therefore we shall continually rejoice and celebrate all the memory we have had knowing Temitope Balogun Joshua. It has been a big privilege having first-hand contact and knowledge about him. Yet the best is yet to come to SCOAN or any of his offshoot ministries.

Evelyn Joshua Get 63 Year Old Victoria A House

A 63-Year-Old Woman, Mrs Victoria Adebayo came to The SCOAN with her Family to share a testimony of the goodness of God in her life and thank Mummy Evelyn Joshua who gifted her a new House.

Mrs Victoria began her testimony by telling the church that when she had come to The SCOAN many years ago with numerous problems and issues, she was accepted wholeheartedly by Prophet T.B. Joshua.

As the years passed, she had continued to enjoy the mentorship of Prophet T.B. Joshua. As such, when the man of God transited to glory, Victoria said she had cried: “It is finished for me!” A while afterwards, Victoria decided she wanted to return to her village.

She then approached woman of God Pastor Evelyn Joshua and told her. Moved with compassion, the woman of God promised to go with Victoria to the village. Thinking it was an impossibility, Victoria marvelled at the unexpected offer. To cut a long story short, the woman of God said she would be sending people with Victoria to the village to do one thing: build her a house!

Only a few months later, the house is now standing in decent glory on a plot of land in Iyin-Ekiti State, Nigeria.

Amazed at this incredible gesture, Victoria thought it necessary to testify to the world about the blessing she has received.

Victoria’s younger sister, who accompanied her to testify today, also recalled how a touch from Prophet T.B. Joshua about five years ago had ended her 17 years of barrenness.

“Nothing is impossible for God; let’s have faith in him,” said Victoria’s in-law, Wahab. “Focus on God,” declared Victoria.

Again TB Joshua’s Disciples Gives Bags Of Rice and Million Naira To Widows In Lagos

The disciples of late Senior Prophet TB Joshua have continued his legacy by giving out massively in humility to the poor, less privileged, disabled, widows and down-trodden in the society.

Just last week, it was reported that they gave out 250 Bags of rice and a sum of N1.5 Million to the disabled in Lagos.

Following that trend as Prophet TB Joshua did when he was alive, the disciples stormed Egbeda area of Lagos state today Saturday, 8th of January, 2022 to reach out to nothing less than over 300 widows with 250 bags of rice and cash gift of over N1 Million.

During the presentation, one of the disciples, Evangelist Joseph encouraged the widows not to be despaired because they have lost their spouses but they should look up to Jesus Christ and trust in his goodness

He quoted words from Prophet TB Joshua’s message to the widows titled The Chief Husband Man, while urging the widows to always rely on Jesus because He cares for the weak, the rejected and other vulnerable people.

If I may quote our mentor, Prophet TB Joshua in his message to widows: The Chief Husband Man. He said Jesus Christ is The Chief Husband Man. Jesus cares for the weak, the rejected and other vulnerable people. (Psalm 68:5) He is the Father of the fatherless and Husband to the widows. The fact that you have lost your spouse does not mean you should despair, no! As a Child of God, you only need to trust in His Goodness. (Isaiah 54:5-6) You can look unto Jesus, the Chief Husband Man of the house and gather the broken pieces of the marriage. He knows how to make up for the loss of your loved one because Jesus is the compassionate Healer of our wounds. So let His compassion check your passion today. In Luke 7:11-15 Jesus saw a widow, her only son was dead and she was weeping. Jesus said to her, “Weep not, for I am involved in your affair.” How you manage your situation is what matters.

Whether we die or live, we are permanently  married to Christ; When death strikes, He alone is able to comfort and rehabilitate the surviving member of the union so that he or she can stand up under the circumstances. So what is your situation? Are you in want as a result of your widowhood? Look unto Jesus, He is your Father and a Friend closer than a brother. Cheer up for God in His Sacred Temple, cares for orphans and widows; always prepared to meet their needs.’’

He further noted that caring to the widows, orphans and less privileged has always been part of Prophet TB Joshua, therefore the importance of continuing the legacy

‘’ Caring for the widows, orphans and other less privileged in the society has always been a part of Prophet TB Joshua’s charitable activities. And we his Disciples, with the assistance of our wonderful supporters, have come here today in continuation of his benevolence, with bags of rice and cash gifts for you and your families this new year, 2022.’’

After the presentation, the elated widows were moved to tears as the gifts came to them as a huge surprise.

One of them, Olabisi Olabode revealed that she has been watching the philanthropic act of Prophet TB Joshua on Emmanuel TV but has never been a beneficiary until today. She prayed for the disciples and ask God to keep their families.

‘’I am very happy with what is happening today, I pray TB Joshua continues to rejoice with the angels. I pray his disciples live long. This is the first time I will be witnessing this in our area but I know TB Joshua gives to the widows because I watch it on Emmanuel TV, I pray God continues to protect his family’’

Another widow, Bosede Samuel explained that she used to visit SCOAN to received bags of rice, cash gifts from Prophet TB Joshua and expressed joy that the disciples continued to good works of the man of God. She prayed for them and asked God to continue blessing them.

‘’I love what happened today. When Prophet TB Joshua was alive, we always go to his church to collect rice and money. Whenever we go, they take good care of us, we eat and enjoy ourselves. I’m very happy his disciples continued this legacy and I pray God repays them in many folds.’’

Furthermore, the disciples appreciated the widows for receiving their gifts and promised to continue reaching out to them often.

‘’Please take note: We are not the ones blessing you by what we have to give today, rather you are the ones blessing us by accepting our gifts. Why? Because the Bible says, it is more blessed to give than to receive. More also, the man of God said, giving offers us an opportunity to reshape our destinies. So we thank you our mothers for blessing us, for accepting these gifts. This is just the beginning and we trust God Almighty the great Provider will continue the supply in Jesus name’’

 

2020: “THE YEAR OF COME BACK TO WORSHIP GOD”

“THE YEAR OF COME BACK TO WORSHIP GOD”

John 4: 24, says “God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth”.

In this new year, 2022, we are called to open our hearts to God’s Word and Spirit, by totally submitting to His will and purpose for our lives. As Christians, our lives must be centred in Christ Jesus and we should fully commit to Him in order to experience the full dividends and joy of being a child of God.

“God is in all ages, gathering unto Himself a generation of spiritual worshipers”- TB Joshua.

An Encounter With Prophet TB Joshua in Dreams

 

Early this morning, Monday, December 20, 2021, I found myself in the company of Prophet TB Joshua and two others with us. TB Joshua was the driver I was sitting at the back in the car, a very modern car. I’m not sure I’d seen such a pleasure car before. We drove past a big car workshop and saw one of TB Joshua’s disciples. As he drove on we told him that the disciple we saw was backsliding. TB Joshua said we should turn back to talk and encourage the said disciple.

Prophet TB Joshua turned the car back and suddenly I saw a bigger image of the prophet. So I told him that he couldn’t be driving us whilst I was there because he was the master and I saw myself as just a servant. Remember I started drinking Arigidi waters more than ten years before he was born, but that’s not the image I saw. He was a master. He gave me the key to drive the car and he came to the back seat and watched. But as I put in the key the car was going off-road. It went completely off-road to the left then off road to the right. The road was good and the car was great. Eventually, we manually bring back the car to the said workshop for repair while the prophet talked with the disciple. We also asked the prophet to phone his wife, Evelyn Joshua, to explain to her why we would be late. Then I woke up and it had only been a dream.  

The prayer offered by Jesus in John chapter 17 came flashing on me. Jesus prayed for us as follows. “Now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. The glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one, (verses 11 & 22). 

Therefore Christians all over the universe have no choice but to unite and be one. That’s the prayer of this Jesus of Christmas. We ought also to possess the blessing of receiving Jesus in the Synagogue Church of All Nations, (SCOAN), whether it is TB Joshua or Evelyn Joshua, or anyone else.  As many as received Jesus, (and His word and prayer) to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe in His name, (John 1:11-12).

Behold Its Good Tidings of Great Joy from SCOAN

The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN)

Bethlehem, in Hebrew, is "Bet Leḥem" or “Town of Bread”. It is currently a town in the West Bank,  in the Judaean Hills about  5 miles (8 km) south of Jerusalem. According to the Gospels (Matthew 2; Luke 2), Bethlehem was the site of the Nativity of Jesus Christ. Joseph and a heavily pregnant Mary had to ride on a donkey,  from Nazareth to Bethlehem, a journey of about 160km. The journey is called a Nativity Trail. Prophet Micah (5:2) had prophesied concerning the birth of King Jesus in Bethlehem. In this modern-day, Bethlehem is still famous for being the place of Jesus Christ's birth and has been celebrated in Christmas Carols and Hymns through the centuries. The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) is joining others around the globe to celebrate this 2021, the first one without our Founder Prophet TB Joshua.

It was like the days of Ezra (1:1) when the time for the return of Israel from captivity came to fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah. The LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation. Similarly when the time came that Jesus would be born, and as prophesied, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that everyone should be taxed in their own native city. It was a divine order that took Joseph up from Galilee together with Mary into Bethlehem, also called the city of David, because he was of the house and lineage of David. Therefore whatever is happening around the world, or whatever is happening to us at SCOAN, is a divine order from above. Things may seem less pleasant but everything is divine from above. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way, (Psalms 36:23). God's Will shall always be done.

The time when Jesus was born were not days of modern live-television broadcasts and news media as we have today. However, God had made all the necessary arrangements for the Good News to be preserved for all generations. There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. The angel of the Lord came upon them. The glory of the Lord shone around them. They were sore afraid. The angel said to them, "Fear not, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord". The angel left them with detailed descriptions of where they would find the baby Jesus. In addition, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and singing.

The shepherds went straight to Bethlehem to see and confirm what the Lord had made known unto them. They found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. They made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. All who heard their story wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. Who is this Jesus that ordinary shepherds had the privilege to see and witness for? Wise men came with all their riches, experience and age to worship baby Jesus and to present highly symbolic precious gifts. A devoted old man Simeon took the baby Jesus up in his arms, and blessed God, and saying, "My eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared before the face of all people. A light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel". Who is this Jesus?

In this Christmas, it is desired that God should kindly open our spirit mind to see what the angel, the host of heaven, the shepherds, the Wise Men from the East, old Simeon, what they see about this Jesus and sang and worship. Obviously, they saw beyond a mere baby in Mary's arms. They saw Jesus as the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, the one with the key of David, they saw an Infinite Being. Apostle Paul (Philippians 2:5-11) admonishes us to humble ourselves with the humble mindset in Christ Jesus. That Jesus is the form of God that has humbled Himself to take the form of ordinary man for our salvation. God also has highly exalted Him and has given Him a name that is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. That every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. This is the Jesus of Prophet TB Joshua of SCOAN. This Jesus gives us confidence not only to wish everyone a Merry Christmas but also the "Good Morning and Win Today".

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

The World’s Expectation of SCOAN on TB Joshua’s Legacy

By now every part of our society, home and abroad, should have come to terms that the Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) is no longer with us physically. Our grieve in that realm continues both to individuals, family members of TB Joshua, his faithful disciples and followers, the nation Nigeria, and many who have been relying on the prophet for God's opinion on their matters. The first expectation is that both the immediate family members of TB Joshua and his close disciples need to see themselves as servants of God first and foremost and serve humanity from that awareness. We need to work with one accord and close ranks in brotherly and sisterly love. The physical loss of the prophet is enormous and what the family members and disciples are passing through now is the painful part of the loss.

Prophet TB Joshua had an excellent reputation for leadership, modesty, humility, organization, love for humanity and the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Those attributes attracted us to him, his deep knowledge of things and his ability to help and solve spiritual and physical problems. As a man of God, he eschewed the trappings of that high calling and office. He made his abode in a simple part of the SCOAN premises living with his family, disciples and occasional guests. He developed from the Bible, from praying in lonesome forests, from the now beautified SCOAN praying mountain where he ministered his last service. He would dress casually always. He is the first prophet and a Nigerian to have had the largest worldwide followers of worshipers and admirers of all time. Though highly criticized whilst he lived his approval rating soared with his disappearance. The world is not expecting anything less either from the new set of SCOAN leaders, his disciples or from those of us that claim to have been closely related to him.

Prophet TB Joshua had been committed to the teaching and proper living out the Bible. Many pundits disagreed with him on his views. This is probably because they couldn't believe the results the prophet was getting simply and seemingly effortlessly. When TB Joshua was on a stage, heaven's doors seemed open for deliverance, healing, and all possibilities. It must be another period of the early Church and many lived in that confusion about his ministry. The power of Jesus remains the same whether in the old, prevailing or future culture. Hence SCOAN cannot afford to fight within self over personal or family differences whilst the work of God suffers or delays even a minute more. The Holy Spirit is here to reconcile all of us, to console our spirits and command us to fellowship together in one accord; as we follow Jesus Christ the Commander and the Lord of hosts.

We have continued to find very amusing a few commentators still criticizing the prophet or SCOAN, and trying to fuel within perceived differences of opinions. Social medial is now a powerful Third Force in society. The Church is the First Force and government the Second Force, many others are coming on. If the media does not understand the role of the Church in society then it is a contrary force. The media has no right or qualifications in setting orders for the Church, not even for the society that grows it. The Church of God, which TB Joshua's SCOAN is part of, is not called by God to reflect the views of society and those of its celebrities.  On the other hand, the Church is called to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to demonstrate the power of God as necessary, and to instruct society of the need to repent. We find the role of TB Joshua in agreement and alliance with the teaching and practice of the Lord Jesus, and the voice of God’s Truth to the World. He made it very clear that the Church is not about detecting and hence following the prevailing popular opinion. His call was to shape the views of society and to challenge our culture when our culture is not following the path consistent with the will of God, His faithfulness and holiness. The World of God remains the Standard for our Living.

Jesus Christ is the Righteousness and the Integrity of God.  He is also the Author and Finisher of our faith and has not established the Church so that the Church may compromise with evil, injustice, and oppression. Therefore as we pass through these perilous times, the voice of the Church must point out the shortcomings of this decaying society. And the Church needs more hands for this labour. May God help the Church to never sacrifice the Truth of the Gospel on the altar of public opinion, political correctness and social approval but only to depend on what God has to say on every matter. Amen!

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.

THE SPIRIT FILLED-SPEECH BY MRS. EVENLY JOSHUA

“I am not your General Overseer; my dear husband and our dear father, the prophet for generations, Senior Prophet T.B. Joshua, remains the founder and General Overseer of The SCOAN.”

“I represent the symbol of that love.”

“We will work together, pray together, fight the fight of faith together, win together so that we can all inherit the everlasting home together.”

 

The Chairperson and leader of the Synagogue Church of all Nations, Lagos, Mrs. Evelyn Joshua, has declared that her husband, Prophet TB Joshua, remains the General Overseer and Founder of the SCOAN.

This she said in her spirit filled speech as she made a clarion call to all partners and members of the SCOAN worldwide to work hand-in-hand with her new leadership to move the ministry forward.

Below is her address as posted on the ministry official Facebook page:

A SPECIAL ADDRESS FROM EVELYN JOSHUA

I am pleased to address you at this moment upon my appointment as the leader of The SCOAN. To all our members, Partners, friends and compatriots in faith, I say, Good Morning and Win Today. It has been three months since the glorious home call of our dear father, founder and General Overseer, Senior Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, which occurred on 5th June, 2021.

These past three months have surely been challenging, but we thank you all for remaining strong and for keeping the faith as we had been trained, built, instructed and taught by God's servant himself that trials are the soil upon which faith flourishes. We salute your faith.

Today, like always, is a new dawn in The SCOAN. As we all know, Prophet T.B. Joshua fought the good fight of the Kingdom and finished strong, to the glory of God. We have now commenced the journey from where our father left the baton. He had already prepared us all for this new phase, and we must rise up to the occasion as a team under the command of God and the direction of the Holy Spirit. This journey is for us all.

The SCOAN cannot be without you - all the members, Partners and friends of the Ministry. So, this now serves as a clarion call for you all to rise as an army of God as we push this Great Commission forward.

I am not your General Overseer; my dear husband and our dear father, the prophet for generations, Senior Prophet T.B. Joshua, remains the founder and General Overseer of The SCOAN.

Like my beloved husband used to say, "Let love lead." Today, I represent the symbol of that love, even as he continues to reside by the right hand of his Maker. I am only a servant who, under the leadership and direction of the Holy Spirit, will team up with you all to direct the affairs of this great Ministry.

We will work together, pray together, fight the fight of faith together, win together so that we can all inherit the everlasting home together.

I know that we have all missed the congregation of our brethren for the past one and a half years, but let me assure you that as God leads, we shall all soon converge again and worship God together as a family. So, watch out! There is no gainsaying the fact that I and the entire team - we need your prayers, support, encouragement and advice all at this time. The duty is much, the burden is heavy, but we will all cast them unto Jesus, who has already given a promise of His help.

I thank you all once again for the love and support you have shown to this Ministry and Senior Prophet T.B. Joshua for the past years. But if there is any time to show that love more, the time is now. Let me again assure you, as it has always been the watchword of this Ministry, that God is always with us.

Emmanuel! God bless you all.

Thank you.

Church Audit: No One Detained, Victimized in The SCOAN

The leadership of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) said no person is in detention or being victimized over the ongoing audit of the church.

SCOAN clarified a statement on Sunday signed by its Head of Legal Department, Mr James Akhigbe, to disabuse public perception of misguided information being peddled on social media.

The church debunked social media reports about the arrest and detention of some disciples of the Church by the newly appointed SCOAN Board of Trustees (BOT) Chairperson and Leader of the Church, Mrs Evelyn TB. Joshua.

Henceforth, SCOAN wants the public and friends of the church to disregard such reports as they are untrue.

“It is a narrative conjured by detractors to discredit the Church.

“We stand in the light and we cannot compromise the ideal and legacy of our mentor and founder, late Senior Prophet TB Joshua on integrity, spiritual worship, unconditional love and humanitarianism.

“The public will recall that on Sept. 9TH 2021, the Board Of Trustees BOT of SCOAN appointed Mrs Evelyn TB Joshua widow of the late founder, its Chairperson.

“This followed an order of the Federal High Court in Suit No. FHC/L/CP/1109/2021 which appointed Mrs Evelyn TB.Joshua as a Trustee.

“The BOT had also appointed Mrs TB Joshua as the new leader of the Church with ratification by not less than 2,000 congregations of the Church at a meeting on Thursday, Sept.9, 2021.”

“The church leadership took steps to secure certain critical assets of the Church with an authorisation for a comprehensive audit of the activities of the SCOAN since the founder passed away.

“This inventory involved some category of church workers including Disciples and it is being carried out objectively under a regular and normal environment without any harassment of persons.

“Contrary to the falsehood now being peddled by mischief makers in the media the audit is not to intimidate anyone as it is to strengthen the organisation,” it said. (NAN)

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!
