On Sunday, The SCOAN Choir gave an especially inspired, energetic praise and worship session that saw many falling under the anointing available at ‘The Arena of Liberty.’ From song to song, including the iconic “Rain Your Power Over Me” and “Holy Spirit Take More of Me”, the choir struck the right chords with the Heavenly Host and set congregants in tune with the heavenly frequency.

Prophet T.B. Joshua exhorted the church on the need to make heart contact with God when making requests of Him. He once again stressed the importance of offering “life-saving and life-changing prayer” that is addressed to the Son of David, Jesus Christ. He taught the congregants to pray sincerely thus: “Son of David, have mercy on me. Let Your mercy speak for me. Let Your favour speak for me.” However, he also insisted that breakthrough can only come when a person has “a heart that is full of love, forgiveness, pardon, faithfulness, obedience and humility,” which he prayed God to give the congregants. In a ministration spiced up with faith-building and conscience-stirring songs, Prophet T.B. Joshua said it was necessary to testify to God’s goodness always and to shed off all weight from pain of the past before climbing on the Mountain of Prayer. “Something will leave your business today. Poverty will leave your home today. Hardship will leave your finances. Stagnation will leave your career. Prepare yourself before you get there,” he counselled the congregants after praying with Emmanuel TV viewers.

Speaking in the same vein, Prophetess Yinka gave a message titled LET IT GO SO YOU CAN GROW. Citing Ephesians 6:11, Luke 11:4, Luke 15:11-32, Judges 15, Romans 12:17-21, and Ephesians 4:2-4,31-32, she identified some of the Christian attributes that help us to receive from God, as well as those that hinder His blessings in our lives. She noted that a Christian needs both defensive and offensive tools as part of their armour. She further said that forgiveness, love, peace, kindness, gentleness, long-suffering, forbearance and endurance are among the positive qualities required of a Christian. The opposite of these, she added, would hinder God’s blessings. A highpoint of her sermon was the advice: “If you find it difficult to forgive someone who hurt you, try responding with kind actions – love and care for him or her. Soon you will realise that right actions lead to right feelings.”

TESTIMONIES

PROPHECY DELIVERS YOUNG MAN FROM BED-WETTING AND SPIRITUAL WIFE

Two Sundays ago, during the Mass Prayer session, a prophecy Iocated Mr Jade Baatjes, an Indian. It was a case of bed-wetting. “I think your case needs urgent attention,” Prophet T.B. Joshua told the young man as he gave him an anointed handshake that sent the latter sprawling on the floor. “You are free; you will never experience it again!” the prophet declared, in Jesus’ name. Last Sunday, Jade returned to church to glorify God for his deliverance. The 26-year-old told the church he had also had the affliction of a spiritual wife and that it had all started about seven years ago. Jade told of his addiction to pornography as well as of his isolation from family and friends due to the shame of bed-wetting.

“Once or twice a week, this spiritual wife would come to sleep with me,” Jade confessed, adding that the spirit of lust had consumed him so much that he could see women naked even when they were clothed. “I was extremely depressed and suicidal,” Jade opened up, even as he disclosed that he had been about to kill himself when he got a call from a concerned aunt of his. Jade said he had come to The SCOAN after having been to several other places in search of deliverance. “The bed-wetting has completely stopped and I don’t see the spiritual wife anymore,” he said. He advised people to see Jesus Christ as the permanent solution and to commit to receiving from Him.

FOR MRS AKPOS OLOYE, IT’S TWIN GIRLS AFTER 20 YEARS OF BARRENNESS!

For over 20 years, Mrs Akpos Oloye suffered the reproach of barrenness. However, she wasn’t Mrs Oloye for all that time. A previous marriage had been childless for so long that her then husband had had to part ways with her due to family pressure. And when Mr Kebbi Oloye had asked her to marry him, Akpos had told him about her problem but the young man had persisted. He said a voice had told him she was his wife. As such, despite severe opposition from family and friends, Mr Oloye had gone ahead with the marriage. At some point in the search for a child, the couple visited The SCOAN for prayers. There, a prophecy located them and Prophet T.B. Joshua placed an anointed hand upon them. Several months later, the couple returned to The SCOAN: Mrs Oloye was now heavily pregnant. During her testimony then, she said Prophet T.B. Joshua had appeared to her in a dream, telling her God said he should give her two children. She immediately went to buy clothes for the expected babies.

Every morning, the couple would address the baby things as their children. On Sunday, several months after that testimony, Mrs Oloye returned again to The SCOAN with not only her husband but also some of her friends and other family members. Why? Because the twin babies have now arrived, to the glory of God! In a tearful testimony in which she recalled her days of heavy reproach from neighbours and family, Mrs Oloye spoke of her plan to commit suicide as well as of her husband’s steadfastness and sacrifices despite taunting from colleagues at work, even as she thanked God for using His servant T.B. Joshua to minister deliverance to her.

Disclosing her babies’ names as Tamarapriye (‘God’s Gift’) and Perere (‘Wealthy Woman’), Mrs Oloye described herself as the ‘Hannah of our time’ and advised spouses to be patient with each other during times of challenges. She also advised all people to wait on God’s promises. On his part, Mr Oloye advised people to believe in God’s power.

FIREFIGHTER HEALED OF STIFF NECK

For eight years, Cameroonian firefighter Mr Taku George was rendered virtually helpless by a stiff neck owing to cervical spondylosis. Doctors gave him powerful prescription painkillers and a neck collar but these did little to ease his pain.

His disoriented state of mind often made him forgetful and he would accuse his wife of taking money that he himself had misplaced. Booked for an operation in South Africa, he decided to seek God’s help, having been told that the operation held the risk of paralysing him. Two Sundays ago, he received prayers at The SCOAN, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Testifying of his healing on Sunday, he said he had been unable to run or do his exercises as a firefighter. According to Taku, he became light right after the prayers and he can now turn his neck in all directions, with absolutely no pain. “I’m not feeling any pain; I’m a happy man,” he told the church. He advised people to believe in God’s healing power.

NO MORE ISSUE OF BLOOD!

“There is a woman there – you are bleeding,” Prophet T.B. Joshua had prophesied two Sundays ago during the Mass Prayer session. As those words rang out, a woman named Chioma Enyinnaya came out to confirm it, saying she had had the condition for twelve years. Speaking in French during her testimony last Sunday, the Gabon resident said the condition would make her weak and her stomach would swell; it also affected her relations with her husband. She used orthodox and herbal medicines but the problem remained. After the prophecy, she said the blood dried up immediately, to the glory of God. She advised people to have faith in God.

ARREST AND PROSECUTION AVERTED AFTER PROPHECY

Two Sundays ago, Mr Charles Kenechukwu had been at The SCOAN Sunday Service when a prophecy located him during the Mass Prayer session. The Holy Ghost had revealed, through Prophet TB Joshua, that the businessman had received stolen goods and now faced the possibility of arrest and prosecution. Realising the gravity of the case hanging over his head, Charles had promptly come out to confirm the prophecy, explaining that he had been unaware that the car batteries he had received were in fact stolen goods. True to the prophecy, when he returned to his base in Owerri, Imo State, Mr Kenechukwu learned that an arrested robber had mentioned his name in respect of the goods. However, following the divine mercy he had received after the prophecy, Mr Kenechukwu did not have charges pressed against him, as the owner of the goods opted to discontinue the court case. He advised business people to “carry God along” in all their dealings.

DELIVERED FROM THE MALICE OF A FRAUDULENT CHARM

Mr Abraham Oghenekewe, an Abuja-based contractor, wanted to have a comfortable life – with loads of money streaming in from his contracts. He told a friend about it. “I know a witch doctor in Delta State,” the friend answered. Abraham followed him there; after all, he himself was from Delta State. The herbalist gave him a charm meant not only to bring contracts but also to ‘protect’ him. But there were strict rules to be followed: He was not to let his wife see the charm, he was not to touch it after sleeping with his wife, he was to return to the herbalist immediately if he lost the charm, he was not to let the charm be drenched in the rain. He took the charm home, hoping to start prospering within three months. But no! In fact, all contracts ceased and sickness invited itself to the Abrahams’ home. His daughter took ill, his wife’s legs began to swell and Abraham himself lay on the sickbed. He called the witch doctor. “It’s a small thing. Come over to the village,” the herbalist instructed the ailing man. Ignoring the state of Abraham’s pocket, the native doctor demanded a live goat and the sum of forty thousand naira, besides other items.

Desperate to get out of the situation, Abraham managed to raise the funds and the witch doctor performed the rites. But the situation worsened and his wife’s legs swelled even more. Then he stumbled on Emmanuel TV at a friend’s home and planned to visit The SCOAN. He eventually made it to the church after mysteriously losing his transport fare several times. Somehow, Abraham had managed to get into church with the charm. However, as the service progressed, a prophecy located him during Prophet T.B. Joshua’s ministration exposing that the charm which he had brought to the church service was in his pocket. “Since then, I’ve felt like a newborn baby,” Abraham testified on Sunday. “I feel free, extra free,” he added. With his equally healed wife standing beside him, Oghenekevwe also confirmed that his daughter has now recovered from her illness. “My brothers and sisters, please follow God,” he urged the church and viewers.

AT LIVING WATER SERVICE, MAN VOMITS THREE DEMONIC COWRIES

When he turned 14 years old, in junior secondary school, Desmond got initiated into a cult. As he grew older, he acquired more and more powers as he literally shot his way through the ranks, eventually becoming the next-in-rank to the head of his cult. When shot at, bullets would bounce off his charmed body. And when danger was lurking, he would get a sign in his chest and be immediately teleported elsewhere. Of course, he sometimes landed in uncomfortable places, such as trees and rivers, but he always managed to escape danger.

Regretful of his past life of violence, Desmond came to church two Mondays ago and participated in the Living Water Service. He was there to ask for mercy from the Son of David, Jesus Christ. After he communed with God on the Mountain of Prayer and took the Living Water, he began to vomit. In the end, three cowries got out of his system; they had been the source of his fortification in the violent world of cultists. During his testimony on Sunday, Desmond told of how he perpetrated violence on campuses and at political gatherings. Booze, women and riotous living, he said, were the things on which he frittered away all the money he realised from doing violence on behalf of politicians. Now a new creature in Christ Jesus, he advised the youth to desist from joining cults.

After inviting the Holy Ghost to dwell in ‘The Arena of Liberty’, The SCOAN Choir asked for mercy from the Son of David – Jesus Christ – who heals, delivers and saves. Thereafter, they thanked Jesus for His love, the life He gave and for every moment of His attention. While they sang, the Spirit of God suffused the arena and the congregants were encouraged to open their hearts in readiness for the day’s ministration.

Prophet T.B. Joshua began his ministration by thanking the people for praying and fasting with him for the last seven days, since the “Africa Unite” video went viral, touching the hearts of millions and moving nations into action against the rising spate of xenophobic attacks on the continent. He said, “what happens to any African happens to all Africans,” even as he reiterated his call for the continent’s unity.

As he began the prayer session, Prophet T.B. Joshua said it was important for people to open their hearts to receive from God, exercising faith based not only on the evidence of God’s power before their very eyes but also on what they are yet to see. He observed, “It is the Word of God that brings the entire being into harmony. It heals, it blesses, it delivers and saves.”google-site-verification: googleae88ba0c5f15eeb8.html

However, while rounding off the prayer session, Prophet TB Joshua warned viewers and congregants against falling for the antics of fraudsters trying to extort them by claiming to be able to get them The New Morning Water and give them access to The Living Water Service. “There is nothing like that. We are doing all this because we are given freely and we give people freely,” he stated.

In “OVERCOME YOUR SITUATION” Prophet Racine cited some verses in the Holy Bible, such as Romans 8:35-39, 2 Corinthians 12:7, Galatians 3:8, Mark 11:22 to encourage Christians on the need to see with the eyes of faith and to regard their trials as opportunities to move higher on the faith ladder. With the stories of biblical characters, Prophet Racine showed that the Christian race does not need to be easy before Christians can believe themselves to be in a good relationship with God. He described the trials and challenges of Christians as divinely ordained and advised God’s children not to succumb to pressure and tension from the devil’s camp. In Racine’s words, “All these heroes of faith had something in common: They fought the same battle camouflaged differently – different situations – but they overcame their situation and they came out of it better than when they went into it.”

AN END TO 12 YEARS OF DIFFICULTY IN WALKING AND STIFF NECK

• 

• 

For 12 years, Ghanaian Ms Juliana Agbo had difficulty in walking due to lumbar spondylosis; she also had a stiff neck due to spinal canal stenosis and degenerative disease. On top of that, she had hypertension. Because of her condition, she frequently had to stay off work, sometimes for as long as two years. As a single mother of four, she had a hard life indeed, not being able to do anything for herself, including cooking, washing and bathing herself. Unable to stand or move for long, she found it hard to fend for herself and family. However, despite being told by a military doctor that she could never be cured of her ailments, Ms Agbo sought God’s face at The SCOAN two weeks ago. There, she received prayers in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. After the prayers, she became light and has since then been able to do all that she could not do before the prayers. No longer using her lumbar jacket or the neck collar, Ms Agbo demonstrated her perfect healing as she exercised her neck and limbs before The SCOAN congregation last Sunday. “There is nothing God cannot do,” she told her listeners.

9-YEAR-OLD GIRL HEALED OF LYTIC BONE LESION

• 

She is only nine years old, yet Miss Diana Agyo, from Nigeria’s northwestern state of Nasarawa, has known what it means to feel incredible pain. One day, Diana had come from school complaining about pain in her left leg. Her dad had thought it was a joke and that his daughter would get fine in no time. However, the situation worsened and her parents took her from hospital to hospital. Finally, it was decided that she should have an operation. She had to use crutches to enable her walk and also prevent her bone from breaking altogether. Diana then asked her parents to bring her to ‘The Arena of Liberty’. Two weeks ago, her distraught parents brought her to The SCOAN for prayers. After an anointed touch from Prophet Racine, Diana took to her feet without the aid of her crutches. “The pain disappeared immediately,” she told the church on Sunday as she kicked the air to show her healing. “I am the happiest person on earth,” Diana’s father said as he testified about his daughter’s healing. “I want to advise people to have faith in God,” the elated Diana told her listeners. “Pour everything to God because He is our refuge,” Diana’s father advised.

SPIRIT OF LION IS BANISHED FROM WOMAN’S LIFE

• 

• 

In every literal sense of the word, Mrs Rebecca Keeditswe, from Botswana, was a lion-hearted woman. It was no surprise, for in her childhood she had participated actively in lion worship rituals with her parents. When she got married, Rebecca had this spirit follow her into the marriage – and she made life truly miserable for her husband. When angry, she would act violently and destructively; one day, she burnt up the family’s two sofas, which could not be replaced until two months later. Even worse, Rebecca became so disgusted at her husband’s sight that she pressed for a divorce, offering to finance the proceedings when the hesitant man objected to the move. After much pressure, Mr Keeditswe, bemoaning the fate of his young children, tearfully agreed to have the divorce actions begin. However, he asked that they visit The SCOAN first. A fortnight ago, the couple came and, during the deliverance session, the demon in Rebecca manifested and she received her perfect deliverance. During the couple’s testimony on Sunday, Mr Keeditswe told of how his wife had forced him to re-enroll her in another school out of town, despite having invested heavily in a school in town. To worsen matters, Rebecca refused to finish her studies at the new school. “I didn’t have a say in the house,” the soft-spoken Mr Keeditswe said. He also detailed all the futile efforts he had made to resolve his marital crisis, including appealing to Rebecca’s parents and seeking counselling. To the glory of God, since Rebecca’s deliverance from the ‘spirit of lion’, Mr Keeditswe has been enjoying nothing but genuine affection from his wife. “I can see now that I am the man and she is the wife; there are a lot of changes in her,” he said during his testimony on Sunday. He advised people to be patient with their wives and to be focused on God’s leading. Glad to be going to court to cancel her divorce papers during the last week of September, instead of going there to perfect the divorce, Rebecca advised people to seek God’s kingdom before everything else.

MARITAL RESTORATION AS DEMON OF ANGER IS CRUSHED IN WOMAN’S LIFE

• 

• 

• 

Because they were told that their daughter Liann had a ‘spirit husband’ preventing her from choosing among her many suitors, they took her to a native doctor, who purportedly performed some rituals to rid her of the evil force. However, rather than change her, the rituals made Liann very ferocious, not able to tolerate men. Eventually, Liann got married to a very patient man. In the home, Mrs Ati took control of everything, dictating to her husband on every issue for 19 of the 20 years of their marriage so far. Hardly ever interested in intimacy with her husband, it was a miracle, she said, that she managed to have kids at all. Owing to her fearsome temper, Liann was always ruining business opportunities, eventually leading to the collapse of the family’s business. Two weeks ago, Liann was at The SCOAN and, as she saw the woman of God laying hands on the congregation, she prayed that the Lord would locate her. And the Lord did. As the woman of God laid hands on her, Rebecca encountered God’s power as the evil spirit in her manifested. During the couple’s testimony on Sunday, Mr Austin Ati told of how he kept losing money due to mismanagement by his wife and apprentices, as well as of his wife’s overbearing nature. Mr Ati advised the people to trust in God. On her part, Mrs Ati advised people to seek divine solutions to problems in their children’s lives; she also advised men to seek God’s face concerning their marriage.

HEALED OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY DISORDER DURING LIVING WATER SERVICE

• 

• 

Until two Mondays ago, Ms Francisca Dickson had been depressed for the past 10 years and, in the last nine months, suffered from anxiety disorder. It had all started after she lost both her parents. Unable to get parental love in her formative years, the Nigerian living in Ghana grew up feeling unloved and unable to love. A bitter young woman with pain in her heart, Francisca lived a life of emotional isolation, unable to connect with people. Not surprisingly, she became self-loathing, finding little or no meaning in life. As her anxiety disorder progressed, Francisca increasingly depended on prescription drugs to sleep. Unable to take it any longer, she found her way to The SCOAN, where she participated in The Living Water Service. Testifying on Sunday, Francisca said she had felt heavy while making her way to The SCOAN Altar. “The period I was praying it was as if something came out from my heart and burst out as tears from my eyes. Then I took The Living Water and started vomiting,” she said. She continued, “I saw a man in white apparel standing at the pool where The Living Water is flowing. Then I saw another man in white apparel and with a glowing hand. He was rapidly placing his right hand on people’s head; it was as if I was crying on his feet. Instantly, that peace, that joy came to me.” Elated about her deliverance, she told the church that she no longer has bitterness in her heart. She also testified that she is now free from depression and anxiety as well as from dreams of death and dead people, asserting that God’s Spirit is indeed present in The SCOAN.

It was a feisty singing session on Sunday as The SCOAN Choir gave a virtuoso performance that got worshippers dancing with holy abandon, swaying to a medley of worship songs with inspired rhythms, melodies and lyrics.
Prophet T.B. Joshua was in a very expansive mood when he joined the congregation on Sunday. He delivered a message titled FORGIVENESS IS NOT AN OPTION. Reading from Matthew 18:21-22 and Colossians 3:13-14, he exhorted the people yet again on the need to let go of offence. He stressed that it was important to identify the barriers between oneself and God. He also said that it was necessary to maintain the essentials of life set on the believer’s table by properly handling the matter of whom we have offended and who has offended us. Forgiveness, he insisted, is the source to the freedom that God desires for us, regardless of whether we are the offender or the offended. He noted that God simply commands us to forgive and that “Forgiveness is not an option,” he concluded. After his ministration, he prayed with the people and prophesied on their cases as led by the Holy Spirit.

Prophet Chris gave a message titled DON’T GET STUCK IN A STOPOVER, taking his readings from Genesis 37, 39-45 as well as 2 Corinthians 4:17. He likened the challenges faced by Christians to transit points meant to connect them with their destinies, and advised them not to get stuck there. He told the worshippers that as Christians, whatever they might be passing through “is part of the events arranged and designed by God to usher you into your destiny.” He therefore assured them thus: “If you know this truth…, you will not get carried away by your challenges, you will not get so caught up in your challenges, you will not allow your situation, your challenges, your troubles to mislead you or deceive you.”

TESTIMONIES

BOY RESCUED FROM BRINK OF BLINDNESS

Last week, Dr Arthur Nwashindi and his wife Mercy were at The SCOAN to testify of the Lord’s goodness in the life of their little boy, Arthur-Prince, who had been diagnosed with glaucoma, a condition that could lead to total blindness. Their child had been complaining about short-sightedness and occasional loss of vision. Disturbed, the Nwashindis booked a Monday appointment with a surgeon in Lagos. However, they had stopped over at The SCOAN for prayers the Sunday before. After a touch by Prophet T.B. Joshua, the following day they took the boy to see the doctor, but not before they had been queried by their son on the necessity of honouring the doctor’s appointment. To cut the long story short, after comprehensive tests, the specialist issued a clean bill of health for Arthur-Prince. Thanking God for the miracle, he said, “Now I can see clearly.” “There is no impossibility with God,” Dr Nwashindi said. On her part, Mrs Nwashindi said, “We should solely depend on God, for He has the final say.

STIFF NECK VANISHES AT DIVINE TOUCH

Two weeks ago, Mr Emmanuel Semadio had come to The SCOAN with the problem of a stiff neck due to cervical spondylosis and cervical spasms. An administrative officer in managerial capacity, he could not do his work effectively owing to severely limited mobility. Despite his neck collar and drugs, he had been unable to free himself from pain. After prayers in the name of Jesus Christ, however, he got his perfect healing. “The power of God touched me,” he testified on Sunday, turning his neck to demonstrate his healing. “Run to Jesus,” he advised people.

TRIPLE FIBROIDS FLUSHED OUT AFTER PROPHECY

“There is a woman that’s having triple fibroids; right now it’s coming out,” so prophesied Prophet T.B. Joshua during the Mass Prayer two Sundays ago. The prophecy had been for Mrs Augustine Aziagbenyo, a Ghanaian, who had identified herself after the man of God spoke. Afterwards, she went to the restroom and, to God be the glory, the fibroids had indeed been flushed out of her system. “God’s time is the best,” she told the church. Also testifying on Sunday was her husband, who also urged people to trust in God.

DIVINE HEALING FOR GRIEVOUS HOT WATER INJURIES

Mr Andrew Akhabue, a Lagos resident, had been travelling when his driver found that the car radiator had overheated. Joining the driver to check the engine, he had boiling water splash over him as the radiator burst suddenly. After weeks of medical attention, Mr Akhabue’s injuries remained very painful and he could not walk properly. It was in this condition that he visited The SCOAN three weeks ago. As Prophetess Yinka prayed for him, in Jesus’ name, Mr Akhabue felt a surge of divine heat in his burnt thighs. Moans of pain escaped his lips but those were going to be the last time he would feel the pains. “After a while, there was something like cold water poured on that spot,” he said of his experience after the prayer. Within days, the wounds on his thigh dried up and Mr Akhabue no longer feels pain and can walk perfectly. To God be the glory!

AN END TO 25 YEARS OF GASTRITIS AND FIBROMYALGIA DURING LIVING WATER SERVICE

It was clear that these Colombian sisters were besides themselves with joy as they testified on Sunday. The Monday before, they had attended The SCOAN Living Water Service – and that had marked the end to 25 years of gastritis and fibromyalgia for Maria Mosquera and to insomnia and hypertension for Betty Murillo. Once Maria took the Living Water, the power of God struck at the root cause of her problems and she vomited a large amount of a blackish substance. “I felt light afterwards,” she reported. Also gone was the severe pain that had prevented her from lifting her right shoulder. On her part, Betty can now sleep like a baby, with her insomnia and hypertension gone. The Switzerland residents advised people to have faith in God and watch Emmanuel TV.

WIND OF DEAFNESS BLOWN AWAY!

Four years ago, Mr Daniel Lumisa, a Congolese special-needs teacher based in Canada, had been playing a game with his students when an ill wind suddenly blew into his left ear. By the time the eerie sensation was over, his students’ voices had become like a distant echo. Soonafter, he discovered he had totally lost his hearing. At work, they granted him three months of compassionate leave. Then he returned to the doctors, who told him he would need hearing aids. After six months, he returned to work but they still insisted he would not be able to teach. As his treatment progressed, so did his condition worsen. Mr Lumisa then took his case to God, visiting The Arena of Liberty two weeks ago and receiving prayers in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Since his healing, he has been able to hear clearly without his hearing aids. He advised people to seek Jesus Christ for their healing.

BLOCKED FALLOPIAN TUBES CLEAR UP AT PROPHETIC WORDS

After her marriage, Mrs Happiness Chinweoke had been unable to fall pregnant due to blockage of the fallopian tubes. Instead of panicking at the doctors’ diagnosis, she continued to pray along with Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV, even buying baby clothes in faith. During a Sunday service at The SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied about her condition: “There is a woman under the gallery. There is something inside you; it is not fibroid but it has burst. It is coming out in the form of bleeding”. The man of God then asked her to go and check herself in the restroom. She did so after identifying herself before the congregation and indeed, blood substances had come out of her, just as the man of God had prophesied. In no time, she fell pregnant. On Sunday, she came to testify in the company of her husband. The couple advised people to have faith in God.

“LORD, PLEASE, JUST BRING MY KIDS FOR ME!”

She was 14 years old when the spirit of lust and rebellion overpowered her. Years later, the Ghanaian Rosemond had emerged as unrepentant prostitute who felt no qualms about drugging or attempting to kill her children when they hindered her work. She also connived with male partners-in-crime to rob her ‘clients’. In the process, she had four children and the Nigerian fourth baby father asked her to marry him. He brought her to Nigeria. But he gave up the idea when his family objected. Not knowing what else to do, she reported herself to the Holy Spirit at The SCOAN. There, she received prayers in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. After the prayers, Rosemond suddenly developed a deep love for her children, asking to see them and be allowed to show them love. Before ending her testimony on Sunday, she prayed that women who are still living the kind of life she lived in the past would change their ways.

FOR THE MUGYABUSOS, IT’S A BABY GIRL AFTER 11 MISCARRIAGES!

It was nine years of agony for the Mugyabusos eleven pregnancies ended up being miscarried. It was a peculiar situation as each miscarriage occurred in the fourth month of pregnancy! According to Mrs Mugyabuso, the miscarriages occurred after an evil woman appeared to her in the dream. In 2017 they had come to The SCOAN, where they received prayers in the mighty name of Jesus from Prophet T.B. Joshua, as well as The New Morning Water. On the night of that same day, Mr Mugyabuso saw Prophet T.B. Joshua in his dream assuring the couple that their problem had been solved. They returned to Tanzania, continuing to pray and minister The New Morning Water. This time, the pregnancy made it to term! Last week and they came to The SCOAN with their baby girl to testify of God’s goodness! The couple advised people to focus on God no matter the situation they are in.

BUT FOR DIVINE MERCY, A SURGICAL ERROR WOULD HAVE KILLED HER!

When the pregnant Mrs Cynthia Lavoe had gone to the hospital on the 18^th of April 2018, she had been hoping to return home with a baby. But after three hours of energy-sapping labour, she had had to leave for home with nothing but surgical stitches on her belly. Her baby had died in the womb and the doctors had had to evacuate it. Three days later, Mrs Lavoe and her husband, Samson, began to notice that something was amiss, so they returned to the hospital. However, the tests revealed nothing even though the woman continued to feel severe pains even as her stomach swelled and fluid flowed out of her stitches. As designed by God, a friend gave one of the Good Morning Stickers he had received at The SCOAN to Mr Lavoe, who handed it over to his wife, urging her to pray with it and place it over her stomach. That night, Mrs Lavoe had a dream in which somebody told her that something had been left in her stomach during the surgery. In the morning, she returned to the hospital and as the nurses dressed her wounds, one of them noticed something unusual sticking out of the stitches. She pulled at it – and it turned out to be a surgical gauze! The gauze which was forgotten by the surgeon in her womb during evacuation of the dead baby, had soaked up fluid and had been causing damage in her system. The couple testified on Sunday that Jesus is the Master Healer and urged people not to joke with the Good Morning Sticker and other faith tools.

“Draw my heart, oh Holy Spirit, that I may love You more and more.
Draw my heart, oh Holy Spirit, that I may know You more and more.
Draw my heart, oh Holy Spirit, that I may do what is holy.”

Our hearts were drawn closer to the Spirit of God more and more as the words of this anointed song, composed by Prophet T.B. Joshua, rose from the lips of The SCOAN Congregation and Emmanuel TV Viewers. As they joined together from around the world, honouring God and surrendering all to Him, the Spirit of God fell afresh and chains of bondage were disconnected, evil spirits manifested and were cast out and the seed of sickness and disease was flushed out.

In this anointed atmosphere, Prophetess Yinka took to the altar and delivered an encouraging message titled, “YOUR SETBACK IS FOR A COMEBACK”. After identifying two categories of people – those who choose to wallow in self-pity when facing hard times and those who choose not to be overwhelmed by their trials and setbacks – she likened our challenges to temporary stops on the journey to our divine destiny. She demonstrated how many have allowed their setback to rob them of productivity and the joy of life, failing to discover that their challenge is a tonic to their success in life. In her words, “Whatever challenges you may be passing through, I want you to know that it is not a full stop but a comma in the sentence of life”.

With this uplifting word, she moved to the Prayer Line and began to minister God’s healing touch to those afflicted with various sicknesses and diseases. Stretching forth her right hand in the power of God, she proclaimed healing and deliverance, in Jesus’ name and Christ’s result followed – the lame walked, the bound were loosed and the oppressed were set free. Prophet Racine and Prophet Chris joined her and they began to move through the length and width of The SCOAN Auditorium, ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Heaven continued to rain down as Prophet T.B. Joshua stepped onto The SCOAN Altar. Reinforcing Prophetess Yinka’s message, Prophet T.B. Joshua exhorted the church to “HONOUR GOD IN TRIALS”. As he read from James 1:2-4, 2 Corinthians 12:7 and Job 23:10, he pinpointed the essence of trials in the life of the Christian. Describing trials and challenges in health, career, family and other areas of life as tests of faith that help us to mature spiritually, he urged Christians to not murmur, complain or lament when problems come but to use such occasions to grow their relationship with God. “Don’t try to escape them; they are tests to mature you.” He said they should honour God before men by adopting a cheerful attitude in good and hard times for “As Christians, trials, affliction and temptation are meant to shake our faith and nothing more”. He concluded with this bold proclamation: “After this message, I believe, you will be bold enough to face your challenges with joy and hope”.

Stepping then into a time of prayer, Prophet T.B. Joshua ministered the delivering power of Jesus Christ over individuals, nations and the world at large, ministering in prayer and prophecy. Individuals rushed forward to confirm the prophetic messages and share their testimonies of how God had answered their prayer with a miracle.

AN END TO EIGHT MONTHS OF BLOODY MISERY

Imagine being unable to share a hearty laugh. Imagine being condemned to wearing only dark colours when you are a lover of bright colours. Imagine not being able to take soft, fizzy drinks even when your taste buds badly crave them. Imagine having to swallow drugs upon drugs while doctors struggle to discover your problem. Imagine constantly feeling weak and dizzy due to constant menstruation for eight months! Well, that was the story of Miss Peace Ewelu, a security officer from Cross River, Nigeria – until a fortnight ago when a prophecy located her at The SCOAN. “There is a lady there – right now you are bleeding as I am talking. Please come out.” Those were the words of the Holy Spirit speaking through Prophet T.B. Joshua during The SCOAN Sunday Mass Prayer. Having identified herself and shown her medical documents, Peace went to the restroom to confirm the bleeding. Peace said that by the time of the prophecy on Sunday, she had changed her pad three times already. But that was the end of her problem, as the prophecy had ended her suffering. She then wiped herself with new tissue paper and no longer was she bloody. Testifying on Sunday, Peace said, “At times I shed tears – maybe it’s tears of joy,” speaking about her freedom from unceasing bleeding. “In God’s own time He makes all things beautiful,” she advised those seeking divine help.

FOR MOTHER AND DAUGHTER, IT’S FREEDOM FROM ALL FORMS OF ARTHRITIS!

• 

In June 2019, on the insistence of her mother, Ms Fiona Barretto attended The Emmanuel TV UK Revival. She was one of the hundreds of people who received healing, deliverance and salvation at the well-attended event. Diagnosed in 2011 of rheumatoid arthritis, Fiona also had fibroids, asthma and osteoporosis. After prayers from the woman of God, Fiona parted ways with her cocktail of ailments, crying, “Thank You, Jesus!” She could now cook and drive and do so many other things, including helping her visiting ailing mother at home in Buffalo, New York, USA. Encouraged by the miracle, Ms Fiona made arrangements and brought her 80-year-old mother, Ms Ermelinda Barretto to The SCOAN for her own healing. She had had osteoarthritis of the knees since turning 60 years old and had been unable to move without her special socks and walker. After the prayers, however, the Tanzania resident can now walk unaided, bathe herself and use the toilet on her own. The doubly blessed mother and daughter advised people to forgive their offenders while praying to God in faith.

A CIVIL ENGINEER GETS HIS NECK BACK!

A once well-off civil engineer, 43-year-old Solomon Odang had suffered pain from a stiff neck for 12 years. The origin of his problem was a fall from a tree when he was 10 years old. Over the years the effects of the fall increased to the point Solomon could barely function at his job. He patronised various spiritualists and medical doctors but even with treatment was advised not to lift heavy objects, including carrying his children. Despite the constant use of a neck collar, he began to lose sensation and strength in his limbs. A doctor friend frightened him when he said, “You might end up with a stroke”. No longer able to fend for his family, Solomon once thought of suicide. A friend assisted his visit two weeks ago to The SCOAN where he received instant solution from Jesus Christ. “I felt a sensation of freedom and peace as the man of God prayed for me,” Solomon testified last Sunday. He then demonstrated his perfect healing by turning his neck and bending his frame to different degrees. “God’s mercy will bring you freedom,” he advised his listeners.

BLOCKED PASSAGE OPENS UP

“In the name of Jesus Christ, the passage is open!” So declared Prophet T.B. Joshua as he prayed for Mrs Ngozi Nwachukwu during The SCOAN Sunday Service of two weeks ago. Mrs Ngozi had been unable to have intimacy with her husband since a miscarriage the previous year as her vaginal muscles kept contracting, making even urination painful. Any night her husband tried to meet with her, ‘offended’ evil spirits would later violate her in her dreams. “I even took traditional drugs, yet no solution,” Ngozi told the church on Sunday. Her husband then suggested The SCOAN. Having watched Emmanuel TV before, Mrs Ngozi believed firmly that her very presence on The SCOAN grounds would end her problem. She was delighted to be located through prophecy. As instructed in the prophecy by the Prophet, she went to the restroom and urinated an unusual coloured liquid. She later testified that she and her husband were able to meet successfully after the prophecy and are now a happy couple. “Hope in God and seek His face,” Mr Nwachukwu advised couples around the world.

PASTOR RECEIVES HEALING OF DAMAGED LIVER

It was easy to tell that a very deep and positive impression had been made on Pastor Samson Nyangu, who had come all the way from Zambia with a severe liver problem that seriously affected his health and ministry. He had lost his appetite, felt pain in his stomach and experienced irritation at night. He could not carry out his pastoral duties by visiting his members for counselling. With his medication having failed to give him any relief, Pastor Nyangu visited The SCOAN two weeks ago for prayers. As Prophet T.B. Joshua declared, “You devil, remove your hand from my people!” the pastor felt something snap in his stomach and he started vomiting. What came out was a thick mass of blood and poisonous substances – the evidence of God’s right hand in the pastor’s life. It was in memory of that moment that he sang thus: God of T.B. Joshua/He has done it for me/He will do it for you/He will do it for us/I came with sorrow/With tears of sorrow/I am going back to Zambia/With tears of joy. He advised ministers of the Gospel to humble themselves and seek help from the Lord.

ANOINTING BREAKS YOKE OF THREE GENERATIONS OF BED-WETTING!

Two weeks ago the delivering power of Jesus Christ manifested across three generations of one family as two teenage children, their mother and grandmother were set free from the curse of bed-wetting. Mrs Jenette Yula, a Cameroonian based in Canada, had visited The SCOAN for prayers with her kids. As the man of God laid hands on her and her children, a demon within her reacted forcefully, exposing its evil plan of family destruction, before being finally subdued. That night, all the beds stayed dry as grandmother, mother and children saw confirmation of their deliverance. On Sunday, when they returned to The SCOAN, they glorified God for rescuing them from the satanic bondage that had been shaming them. Mrs Jenette testified that while the demon held sway, her husband refused to share a room with her and she was unable to sleep over at friends’ homes for fear of wetting their bed. The demon, which used to appear as a spirit husband in many forms, also prevented Jenette from receiving favour and promotion. Having experienced God’s awesomeness, she advised people to have faith in God and keep watching Emmanuel TV.

The SCOAN Choir dished out many songs from their rich repertoire, many of them composed by Prophet TB Joshua. It appeared, however, that one song stood out in more ways than one, causing congregants to dance ecstatically for the Lord like King David did in 2 Samuel 6 and causing Prophet TB Joshua to request encores of it when he got on The SCOAN Altar. It was a song in praise of “Chukwu Nna, meaning ‘God of the Heavens’ in Nigeria’s southeastern language of Igbo. Even without understanding the lyrics, people of diverse races and tongues swayed to its pulsating rhythm and melody as the Spirit of the Lord saturated ‘The Arena of Liberty’.

Prophet TB Joshua began his ministration with a prophetic word for congregants: “What you have been going through will soon be a memory; it will be part of your history.” He told worshippers that their future was being fashioned by God and that they should be ready to share their testimony about the present, when that future arrived. He assured them that their present pain, affliction, hardship or embarrassment would surely become no more than a memory from distant times. However, the man of God said it would be important to view God’s promises from the faith perspective, knowing that adversity often makes Christians wiser, stronger and better people. Reading from Psalm 119:71 – “It was good for me to be afflicted so that I may learn the decrees of God” – Prophet TB Joshua advised the people to make heart contact with God in order to be able to receive from Him.

Earlier, Prophet Chris gave a sermon titled Return to Reality. Anchored on 1 Peter 1:23-25, the message urged congregants to discover their purpose in life through the Word of God, whose truths remain unchanging. He advised that people should avoid the fantasy of thinking they can derive lasting happiness and inner peace from material things. As such, he preached, those who want a truly meaningful life should face the reality that the Christian race is a tough marathon with many hurdles to cross. He also charged the youth to imbibe the virtues of hard work and perseverance, realising that success can never be reached through shortcuts, that is, without rigorous due process. “Everything in this world has an expiry date,” Prophet Chris noted. While demonstrating the futility of a materialistic life, Chris said it was pointless trying to impress people by keeping up appearances. Closing the sermon, he reminded the church: “In life there are storms, trials, troubles, so the only way to stay steady, steadfast in a world that is unsteady is to build your life upon the solid rock of God’s Word.”

TESTIMONIES

AN END TO FOUR YEARS OF PAIN FROM STIFF NECK AND KNEE ARTHRITIS

Two Sundays ago Mrs Nnenna Irobi, a Nigerian from Enugu State, had been waiting on God for healing from four years of pain from a stiff neck due to cervical spondylosis and knee arthritis. After giving her several medications to no avail, her doctors advised her to consider using a neck collar and bandages for her knees. Despite these aids, Nnenna continued to feel severe pains and her gait appeared to be devoid of vitality. Believing that God’s presence was available at The SCOAN, she decided to go there for prayers in the mighty name of Jesus. She was one of those who got a chance to pray on The SCOAN Altar during the service. As she got on the Altar, with no little difficulty, she began to pray there, rolling on the floor asking the Son of David to have mercy on her. In no time, she began to tug at her neck collar and soon flung it away, together with her bandages. Nnenna’s supportive husband, Joseph, thanked God for healing his wife after four years of severe pain and saving him from worry. As she closed her testimony on Sunday, Nnenna advised people to believe in God.

PROPHECY ENDS TWO YEARS OF ABNORMAL BLEEDING

After two years of continuous bleeding, Mrs Chioma Uchenna finally saw the end of a terrible reproach in her life two Sundays ago. She was at The SCOAN when a word of prophecy located her. Prophet TB Joshua had declared: “There is a woman there – you are bleeding profusely. This is the challenge you brought here. The Lord has delivered you. You should be proud; you should be happy.”

The Abuja resident had thought she had been seeing her menses when the bloody episode began, so after five days she became alarmed. Yet, she went to see a doctor only a month after. Surprised at her negligence, they ordered a two-month bedrest and gave her drugs, including a blood tonic. For one week, the blood stopped flowing but soon returned with incredible pressure, forcing her to use special absorbent pads that still could not contain the blood. She began losing strength and having nagging headaches. Having heard of the Lord’s exploits at The SCOAN, she sought her husband’s permission to visit, hence the prophecy that brought an end to her misery. In her testimony on Sunday, Chioma said the prophecy also put an end to her asthma. She therefore advised people to believe in God’s power.

FROM TEARS OF PAIN TO DANCE OF JOY

In tears of pain did Mrs Thoko Lubisi struggle on to The SCOAN Altar two Sundays ago. For nine years, the South African had been suffering from chronic lumbar pain, which meant she had to use a lumbar corset to ease her pain. The classroom teacher was unable to do her work effectively, her situation worsened by numbness of the knees leading to difficulty in walking. Unable to function in all spheres, Thoko started feeling depressed. It was in that condition that she had got the opportunity to pray on The SCOAN Altar two weeks ago. And although she had gone there in tears, Thoko climbed off The Altar in jubilation. In an instant, she had felt relief surge through her whole body. Testifying on Sunday, Thoko sang and danced for joy to demonstrate her perfect healing, in the name of Jesus. She advised people to wait upon the Lord for solutions to their problems.

NAMIBIAN IN-LAWS RECEIVE FREEDOM FROM PAIN

Because she believed God had prepared a miracle for her at The SCOAN, Mrs Elizabeth Feris was prepared not to mind the severe physical inconvenience that she would experience on a trip to Nigeria from Namibia. For 13 years she had been using an arm sling due to a stiff shoulder, the result of a torn shoulder ligament. Two Sundays ago, she had got the chance to climb on The SCOAN Altar for prayers. “I felt somebody take me by the arms and lift me up,” she said of her experience as she began to climb The Altar. “When I got on The Altar,” she added, “I felt somebody lift a burden off me.” Ending her testimony on Sunday, Elizabeth advised people to visit The SCOAN for prayers. But Elizabeth didn’t testify alone. She was accompanied by her 61-year-old sister in-law, Ms Magrita Diergaardt, who had difficulty in walking for 10 years due to osteoarthritis and muscle cramps. Magrita said she stopped feeling pain in her limbs after she received prayers, in the mighty name of Jesus. “No matter your challenges, turn to God,” Margrita advised the church.

BABY BOY DIVINE – A PROPHECY FULFILLED AT LAST!

It was in 2014 when the couple had first received a prophecy delivered by the Holy Ghost through the man of God TB Joshua. Mrs Ekoma had lost three pregnancies already but the Word from the Lord was that she would have a baby boy. After prayers, Barrister Armstrong Ekoma returned to his Jos, Plateau State base with his wife.

Months later, the duo were back at The SCOAN and another prophecy located them: Barrister Ekoma had been slapped physically by a woman possessed of a malevolent spirit who later showed up in his dream to slap him innumerable times more. “I had a quarrel with somebody in the day. That night I had more than one thousand slaps in my dream,” Armstrong said. The prophecy further said that the lawyer’s destiny had now been tampered with and that his libido was in grave crisis, a fact he also confirmed in excited amazement. After the prophecy about their coming son, one year rolled into the next, then to the next and to the next. According to Mrs Ekoma, during her testimony on Sunday, what had kept the couple going was Prophet TB Joshua’s words: “A prophet will say that which he will live to see accomplished.” And so, five years after the initial prophecy, baby Divine Ekoma was brought to church as evidence of God’s power. Shedding more light on the couple’s situation, Barrister Ekoma narrated how their missing wedding rings had turned up in a computer system he had taken for repairs. He also told of how a scan had shown he had degenerative disc disease, with doctors suggesting he undergo an operation that might cripple him, hence the couple’s recourse to The SCOAN. In what he thought was even worse, Barrister Ekoma said he had developed a boil between his anus and testes while at The SCOAN, causing him to wonder if further affliction had not been added to what he had. But that boil was in fact a sign of the relief to come. Three days later, he said, the boil burst open and there was no problem any longer. “That was how I got healed,” Barrister Ekoma told the church. While Barrister Ekoma advised people not to doubt God’s power, his wife urged women not to give up on their home.

SUICIDAL VOICE SILENCED BY PROPHECY

In 1986, when he was yet in elementary school, Diepreye started getting nightly visits from a female figure in his dreams. After making love to him, she would ‘expose’ coming examination questions to him, helping him to pass brilliantly. He told his mother. She took him to a spiritualist who told him, “She’s the spirit who guided your father in his lifetime; do not run away from her, because she will make you exceptional in academics. But you must never marry.”

When he was old enough, Diepreye married. And his problems began. The spirit turned malevolent and gave him loss of memory, nightmares, hypertension, spirit of anger and lack of affection in marriage. Even more, she dogged his every step with untimely death, constantly asking him to kill himself and making him see dead relatives. “The spirit gave me boldness not to fear death,” he told the church on Sunday. Diepreye’s boss advised him to visit The SCOAN. On the flight down to Lagos from Abuja, the plane ran into turbulence and Diepreye thought of breaking the window and jumping to his death. To the glory of God, he made it to The SCOAN, where a prophecy found him two Sundays ago: “There’s a voice you hear – a strange voice. It dictates what you do sometimes.” On how he felt once Prophet TB Joshua spoke about his problem, Diepreye said, “A load was lifted off my body and I became free.” Since that word of prophecy and deliverance, Diepreye’s life has now become a source of happiness to him. He is also now full of affection for his wife and two children. Diepreye’s wife advised spouses not to give up on their marriage when it is in crisis, just as her husband advised people to look up to the Cross for victory against dark forces. On his knees, “the new creature” asked his wife for forgiveness over past mistreatment.

AFTER RELEASING FORGIVENESS, WOMAN’S DAUGHTER RETURNS HOME

When Ms Petunia Mnisi visited The SCOAN sometime in 2016, she received three prophecies. The first was about her need to forgive. The second was about her estranged daughter who had become suicidal. The third was about her use of charms. Petunia confirmed all the prophecies. She said her father was killed in 1997 by villagers who accused him of wizardry and her mother also died after being accused of witchcraft. On the second prophecy, Petunia said her daughter turned against her and left home. A witch doctor had told Petunia’s daughter that her own mother was after her life. On the third prophecy, 55-year-old Petunia said she used charms to attract men but ended up repelling them instead. As Prophet TB Joshua gave the prophecies, he asked Petunia to forgive her offenders and assured her that her daughter would return home. On July 22, 2019 Petunia’s daughter indeed returned home, according to Petunia’s testimony on Sunday. Full of smiles and deep inner joy, as well as love for each other, Petunia and her daughter jubilated in front of the church. Explaining that she had stopped using charms since 2016, Petunia advised people to monitor their children and introduce them to God only. On her part, Petunia’s daughter said she now loves life and no longer thinks of suicide. She advised parents to show love to their children.

A Nigerian student in UK who gained admission into the prestigious Oxford University has acknowledged that the prayers of T.B. Joshua were instrumental to her academic breakthrough. 

In the run-up to her exams, Blessing explained that “things got really tough” but she found strength through praying along with Joshua via his television network Emmanuel TV and ministering ‘Morning Water’ from his church.

In a testimony shared on Joshua’s official Facebook Page followed by 3.5 million people, a young lady named Blessing Omorodion recounted how her mother visited the cleric’s Lagos-based Church in December 2018.

“I had recently applied to the University of Oxford to study medicine, so I asked her to pray about my application. The following Tuesday after she visited The SCOAN on Sunday, I received an email stating that I got an interview and, by the grace of God, I got an offer,” she recounted.

However, the academic requirements necessary to meet the offer were rigorous. “I was required to get at least an A* and 2 As in my A-levels exams, so I knew that I would need to pray and work hard to meet these conditions,” she explained.

In the run-up to her exams, Blessing explained that “things got really tough” but she found strength through praying along with Joshua via his television network Emmanuel TV and ministering ‘Morning Water’ from his church.

“The encouraging words of Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV helped me to maintain my faith,” she testified.

According to Miss Omorodion, she even surpassed her academic expectations in the ensuing exams. 

“By the grace of God, I not only met my offer but exceeded it by getting 3 A*s in my Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology A levels,” Blessing ecstatically concluded.

Her academic institution Brampton Manor took to Twitter to celebrate her achievement, with Oxford University’s official Twitter feed retweeting the announcement of her successful admission.

An article published in UK’s Sun Newspaper highlighted Blessing’s remarkable achievement, revealing she only arrived in Britain aged 15 and could barely speak English at that time.

The University of Oxford, the oldest academic institution in the English-speaking world, is renowned as one of the world’s most prestigious universities and universally ranked among the best higher learning establishments worldwide.

T.B. Joshua equally sponsored a Nigerian student, Olayinka Oduwole, for a PhD in the same institute, investing over £100,000 (N44m) in her academic pursuits. She has since graduated and now engages in pioneering research into 5G technology at the University of Surrey.
