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

 

TB Joshua, The SCOAN, Emmanuel TV

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.

SCOAN IS MOVING IN JESUS' NAME EVEN AFTER PROPHET TB JOSHUA

TB Joshua, Evelyn Joshua, Emmanuel TV
General Overseer, Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), owners of Emmanuel TV Team, Prophet TB Joshua and wife, Evelyn
 Has anyone of us in The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN) ever wondered why our Father in the Lord, Prophet TB Joshua, has to go so suddenly? Or why has SCOAN had to go through what it has to go through since June 5, 2021? We may not know all the answers. However, as we approach the first anniversary of that event let us ponder on what God is telling us and doing in our time. Let us come together and celebrate the life and time of a great prophet of our time.

Truly Prophet TB Joshua's physical absence is an immeasurable missing but, His great work of love, his complete dedication to the full gospel of Jesus Christ, his teaching, his unique charisma, etc., will all remain with us. We can say right away that was spoon-feeding all of us, from his family, his numerous disciples and workers, Emmanuel TV Partners and his other associates, regular or occasional Church members, visitors, and viewers of Emmanuel TV worldwide, everyone got fed freely. His absence should encourage us to grow more spiritually and depend on the Holy Spirit that was also living in Prophet TB Joshua.

His passing away has been greatly felt, even though at different degrees, depending on whether you were his wife, children, disciples, followers, or even critics. Nevertheless, there are great signs of reassurance to build our faith and hope; not just from the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Spirit. His wife and now SCOAN's new leader, Prophetess Evelyn Joshua is filling the space her husband left. Many assemblies, offshoots of SCOAN, are springing up in many countries his disciples have run back to. We are praying for all of them to be filled with the Holy Ghost so that we can build on the same foundation laid by Christ Jesus, faithfully and powerfully.

Not that anyone of us has already obtained everything, or has already arrived, but the goal is to keep pressing on and take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of us, (Philippians 3:12). We shall continue to advocate the need for our mutual unity, love and working in one accord. If the Apostle Paul is willing to admit that He hasn’t full attained the fullness of salvation, then there is a need to support each other and build on whatever we learned under Prophet TB Joshua.

We shall press forward as Paul says. By that Paul is teaching us that Jesus Christ died so that we might have salvation. Jesus Christ left us so that the Comforter could come and teach us all things.  Remember also that Jesus isn’t still on the cross. Jesus isn’t in the tomb. Jesus has moved on. Let us encourage each other also that Prophet TB Joshua has moved on and so we have to move on too. Yet our father in the Lord will live continually in our hearts. But we're grateful to God for briefly lending him to the world.

Evelyn Joshua Get 63 Year Old Victoria A House

scoan, victoria, mummy evelyn joshua


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

TB Joshua, SCOAN, Emmanuel TV, Disciples


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

 

TB Joshua, SCOAN, Emmanuel TV


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, SCOAN, TB Joshua, Emmanuel TV
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

TB Joshua, SCOAN, Emmanuel TV


 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. 

Prophet TB Joshua, SCOAN, Emmanuel TV, Evelyn Joshua



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

SCOAN, Evelyn Joshua, TB Joshua, Emmanuel TV


“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.

SCOAN, Anointed Water, Emmanuel TV, TB Joshua


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.

SCOAN, Evelyn Joshua, TB Joshua


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

Harry, Wiseman, Racine, Daniel, Prophet, TB Joshua


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
