WALK BY THE SPIRIT

Both services on Saturday and Sunday at The SCOAN were filled with miraculous testimonies of God’s goodness and practical demonstration of His power. The Saturday service opened with the SCOAN prayer line where hundreds of people, including international visitors, received a divine touch from Jesus Christ through the wise men that changed the course of their lives forever. 

Prophet T.b. Joshua at The Synagogue Church of All Nations preaching God’s Word.

Prophet T.B. Joshua gave a message on Saturday which he further developed on Sunday, titled, ‘Walk By The Spirit.’ The proof text was John 7:1-6, the Scripture where Jesus told His brothers that He was not led by man’s time. Prophet T.B. Joshua explained, “You must be under the control of the Holy Spirit in the same manner that a drunkard is under the control of wine.” He added that as Christians, in each instance, in every attempt, move and step for God, a specific intimation always comes to us. A suggestion always comes to us from the Spirit that the action should be performed. He continued, “Those to whom the Spirit of Father has not suggested are always ready at their will; their time is always ready. Without direction from the Spirit of God, if we give, we give of ourselves. If we talk, we talk of ourselves.” He further explained that if you call the name Jesus without the help of the Holy Spirit, you will only hear yourself, people around you will hear you but God will not.

The services were filled with many testimonies, especially concerning the Anointing Water. Here are just a few of the faith-lifting experiences of people:

A FIELD DAY IN FARMING!

Mr Osembe Pena Alumba, a Congolese man living in Zambia, had been facing many challenges in his profession as a farmer for ten years. The situation became critical when an unusual disease swept through all of his chickens and he lost 1,500 of his 5,000 chickens in a single day! As Pene considered giving up his farm in the height of the crisis, a friend introduced him to Emmanuel TV. While watching, he saw a fisherman giving a testimony of how Jesus Christ had restored his fishing business through the medium of the Anointing Water.

He then sent his wife to The SCOAN to receive the Anointing Water. When he came back to his country, Zambia, he prayed and ministered the Anointing Water all over his farm and on his animal’s drinking water. In a miraculous turn of events, his farming business started booming and customers began pouring in from far and wide. He showed some photographs of his radically transformed chicken farm, now full of chickens and yielding thousands of eggs.

He also showed pictures of his booming livestock and vegetable farms. Within one year, Mr Alumba’s 3,500 chickens had turned to 38,000 chickens! With this mighty breakthrough, he is the proud owner of new cars as well as four new trucks to aid his farming business. He further explained that since ministering the Anointing Water, there hasn’t been a trace of disease in any of his animals!

 

BEDWETTING BEDFELLOWS

Mrs Veronica Nwalunor had been suffering from the problem of bedwetting for 38 years, from the age of 10. Her mother took her to many places in search of a solution to her problem but to no avail. Literally every day, she would wet her bed, causing her to be removed from boarding school when growing up. The problem got so severe that even during the day, she would sometimes urinate on herself and had to wear incontinence pads. As a result of the extreme embarrassment, she could not go out to any public function or sleep in another house. Her brother introduced her to Emmanuel TV and through the testimonies she saw of people who were delivered from the same problem of bedwetting she was suffering from, she was encouraged to get a bottle of the Anointing Water. On coming to The SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua gave her a bottle of the Anointing Water and she ministered it on herself that night in her hotel room. To her greatest surprise, she slept soundly and woke up without bedwetting for the first time in 38 years!

Ever since then, she has been free from the shameful affliction and can’t stop sharing her mighty testimony. Mr Ike Nwalunor, Veronica’s husband testified how God also delivered him from the same problem of bedwetting! He said that when he married his wife, he was a chronic drunkard and would often go to sleep intoxicated. He would often see himself urinating in his dreams and then, wake up to find he had wet his bed. After marrying his wife and realizing they had the same problem, he took it as a burden they would both have to bear and began moving searching far and wide for solution. However, the day he and his wife ministered the Anointing Water, they were set free from the affliction of bedwetting! To God be the glory!

LIBERATED TO RETURN TO LIBERIA

Delivered Tanneh and Micheal joyfully express their appreciation at the SCOAN.

 

Tanneh Sieh and Michael Freeman came to testify to the power of Jesus Christ at work in The SCOAN. Ms Sieh left her home country of Liberia in search of greener pastures and ended up engaging in fraudulent activities at a young age. She would lie to people that she was related to a very rich personality in her country in order to deceive them to release money to her. Some of her covert operations even led to people committing suicide and couples divorcing due to the huge sums of money extorted. She was possessed by a spirit of python which provoked her to carry out these activities and also tormented her in her dreams. She would see the faces of people she had stolen from in her dreams, confronting and attacking her. While in South Africa, she met a fellow Liberian, Mr Freeman, and they became partners in crime and engaged to marry.  Mr Freeman was recruited as a child soldier during the war in Liberia. After he left the army, he travelled outside of the country and also ended up engaging in fraud to make a living. He travelled to more than eight countries during the course of his fraudulent operations before coming to South Africa where he met Ms Sieh and they began the ‘business’ together. However, it was when he and Ms Sieh began watching Emmanuel TV that they began to get a new perspective in life. Tired of their former lives, they came to The SCOAN for prayer. They each received their deliverance in the power of the Holy Spirit. Since her deliverance, Ms Sieh testified that she sleeps like a baby and no longer has the urge to steal or deceive people. For the first time in her life, she began regretting all her past actions and the thousands of innocent people she had defrauded. Mr Freeman explained that his only desire now was to help people, as he has been helped so greatly by God Almighty! They were presented with the gift of 500,000 naira to support them in continuing their education and contributing to the society of which they are a part.

FORMER MAGICIAN STARTS LIFE AFRESH

Mr Christopher, an ex-grand occult master and magician, stood before the congregation to testify that he was delivered from the evil spirits that had caused him to defraud many people using occult magic. After his deliverance in the power of the Holy Spirit, he explained that the attacks in his dreams came to an end and he saw people as human beings whom he did not want to dupe or defraud.

Mr Christopher and son giving thanks to God.

Promising not to go back to his dubious lifestyle and occultic shrine, he declared that he would testify to those he had previously initiated, promising to lead them to the true peace in Christ Jesus. To support him in his resolution to start life afresh, he received the financial support of 300,000 naira from Prophet T.B. Joshua and the Emmanuel TV Partners.

THE SPIRITUAL WORLD IS REAL…

Lena Ofosu  talks about her deliverance from the malice of the powers of darkness at the SCOAN.

A video was shown of Lena Ofosu from Ghana receiving her deliverance in the power of the Holy Spirit after prayer from Wise Man Racine at the prayer line. After her deliverance, she took the Emmanuel TV team to her house in Ghana where she paid homage to the marine spirits that had possessed her. She showed them how she used to meet with her spiritual husband in the marine kingdom through a series of strange sacrifices. Telling her story to the congregation, she explained that it all started when her mother took her to visit a spiritualist when she was very young. While she and her mother were there, the spiritualist told her mother to hand her over to him because she was married to a spiritual husband from the marine world and therefore destined to serve them. Her mother agreed and left her with the spiritualist and from that day, he taught her everything about the marine world of darkness. She used to interact with her spiritual husband regularly and he had warned her never to marry on this earth. She tried to get married but the first man died and the second marriage only lasted a few hours. Her principal assignment was to initiate people into the kingdom of darkness, especially men. One of her major targets were those who attended church. She was given instructions to dress in a certain way in order to be ushered to a seat in the front of the church and distract attention from the Word of God. When asked how they identified Christians, she said that true born again Christians are covered by the blood of Jesus and they had light around them. She said that even if they were sent to initiate a true born again Christian, they would be unable to get them because nothing of the world entices them. She said that she was even sent to initiate her own daughter into the marine world but could not because she was a true born again Christian. Her message to the world was very clear: “Don’t emulate the outward appearance of others; be yourself and be guided by the Holy Spirit in everything you do, including how you dress and do your hair.”

 

A GUTSY RECOVERY

Mr Gift Ayebabogha, a Nigerian Police Sergeant was attacked by armed robbers while he was guarding a bank. He was shot at close range in his stomach and his intestines came out. He fell down in a pool of blood and the armed robbers left him for dead. He survived the armed robber attack because of the Anointing Water that he had ministered before going to work and continued to minister during the attack. He was rushed to the hospital and the doctor put his intestines back. After the operation, he discovered that he was unable to urinate. The doctors had to insert a catheter into his naval and he came to The SCOAN for prayer.

Mr Gift reflects over God’s track record in his life.

After he explained his story to the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua called medical doctors from different countries who were in attendance on the service that day, to examine him in order to ascertain what could be done medically so that the catheter could be removed.

Mr Gift and the team that traveled with him to India.

The team of medical doctors advised that Mr Gift be sent to India where specialist doctors would be able to perform corrective surgery on him which would allow him to urinate normally without the use of a catheter. A video was replayed documenting how Prophet T.B. Joshua sponsored his entire trip to India, including arrangements for international passports for himself and two brothers, Indian visas, return flight tickets (which were purchased during the peak price season of December), medical bills, feeding, accommodation and spending money. The total amount of money spent by Prophet T.B. Joshua and the Emmanuel TV Partners was $25,000. The medical doctors in India fixed his damaged urinary tract and removed the catheter. He testified that he can now urinate normally and no longer uses a catheter. His medical reports confirmed that his urinary tract is now normal.

HOW TO REACH OLD AGE…

A cross section of the elderly ones at the SCOAN.

Leading by example, Prophet T.B Joshua purchased two brand new coaster buses for transporting the elderly ones. Boldly written on the buses is: “Where are your elderly ones? Care for them and you shall reach old age.” – T.B. Joshua.

The brand new coaster buses purchased for the elderly at The SCOAN.

This is a challenge to us all to care for our elderly ones, so that we may touch God’s heart and live long. Remember, it is not a crime to be old, it is the grace of God.

WHY JESUS CHRIST CAME

The Sunday Service kicked off with a sermon by Wise Man John Chi who spoke on “Why Jesus Christ Came”.

WISE MAN JOHN CHI

He said that man was created in the image of God; he is a stakeholder in His master plan. God created man to resemble Him in everything He stands for and be like Him in all respects. This is because He wanted His energy to be poured out through man and He wanted His wisdom to be demonstrated in man; to feel and see what He feels and sees.

Referring to Luke 19:10, Wise Man John Chi said Jesus Christ came to restore the relationship between God and man because there is no reality outside of Him (John 14:6) and no one can reach God except through Him. While paying the price of the situation, Christ was sent to re-establish the wholeness and completeness of the relationship. Quoting Isaiah 9:6, he said Jesus is God’s Son whose birth had been prophesied by Isaiah and that He symbolizes three major developments: 1. He is a glorious light to dispel darkness in our life. 2. A glorious increase and complete joy and 3. A glorious liberty and enlargement with good reason. Through Him, all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

Wise Man John Chi said that Christmas is a time to give, show love, and it is a period for sober reflection. The Gospel is meant to dispel the yoke of sin, and the right knowledge of God settles peace. He added that we need to forgive because we also need to be forgiven. Forgiveness means that God looks at us as if we have never sinned. Referring to Matthew 5:44, he said we should love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Christianity, he added, is not a religion but relationship. God loves strangers, widows, orphans and the needy. Love was born at Christmas. Love is patient, good and humble and we should be known by our love; we should act love, follow in the light of love and let love lead, he concluded.

At the prayer line, people received their healing and deliverance. Following was a period of testimonies:

1. OMASAN MABIAKU: SAVED FROM GUNSHOTS THROUGH ANOINTING WATER

OMASAN MABIAKU

The Delta State born Nigerian had faced diverse challenges. He had experienced terrible nightmares such as seeing dead people while driving in his dreams.

Then, he prayed and ministered it every day before going out. During a trip to Sapele, Delta State, as he was driving along the road, he heard gunshots from the bush. He felt the impact of the bullets that kept hitting his vehicle which made his vehicle run off the road. He showed the photographs of the bullet holes in his vehicle to the congregation. He discovered that the bullets only hit the outside of the vehicle and he was not wounded.

His second testimony was that he wanted to buy a truck which cost in the range of 8 million naira, but did not have that much money. His friend, whom he had not seen for the past 18 years, called him and in their discussion had informed him that he had a truck that he wanted to sell for 2.4 million naira. He bought the truck from his friend in the amount of 2.4 million naira. He advised people to have faith in God, and that people should remember to give out the Anointing Water to assist others.

He rushed to The SCOAN in seek of a solution and got hold of the Anointing Water which he prayerfully sprayed in Jesus’ name on his yam seedlings. After harvesting his most recent crop, the yams were significantly larger than before and not one of the yams spoiled; all came out well. Having a bountiful 256 lines of yam, he is now a man of means, for which he remains grateful to God. He advised that people should depend on God alone in all issues of life.

5. PAGUI NJAMIN: HEALED OF HEPATITIS B THROUGH ANOINTING WATER

PAGUI NJAMIN

This young Ghanaian, a teacher by profession had Hepatitis and his doctors had confirmed that the type of Hepatitis B he had was the most dangerous, as it was highly contagious. He was told not to allow people to eat part of his food or wear his clothes; he suffered alienation because of this problem. He was therefore instructed not to move close to people because if he touched them, they would be at risk of getting the sickness. He had to be careful not to let his body fluids come in contact with other people. The problem made him to feel isolated because he could not move freely with his family or in his working place. He also could not eat spicy food. His parents were concerned because his liver had expanded to larger than normal and it always made him tired. His father who was always watching Emmanuel TV, had advised him to come to The SCOAN. He agreed and upon arriving at the church, he was privileged to receive the Anointing Water which changed the history of his life forever. Today, the Hepatitis B is completely gone and he can eat spicy food. He held in his hands the medical reports stating his condition before and after his healing. These medical reports are clear proof that he no longer has Hepatitis B. He called the Anointing Water the “atomic bomb to evil spirits”. He advised that since no condition is permanent and there is nothing God cannot do, people should acquire the Anointing Water because there is the power of God in it.

His mother once told him that she breastfed him for only a few months and that the grandmother later weaned him on the local beer. As he grew up, he became an alcoholic and drank an average of 96 bottles of beer a day. He was popular for this notoriety as he suffered the addiction for 33 years of his life. He lost two marriages and would drive recklessly after drinking at the speed of 200km per hour. He could even go for three days without food. A woman had introduced him to Emmanuel TV and he saw a lot of people being delivered from serious addictions like his. A woman friend gave him a bottle of the Anointing Water which he used prayerfully. It had been over one year that he stopped drinking. He said he used to think beer was sweet but now, he hates it. After seeing what God has done in his life, 10 of his friends also stopped drinking. Today, he is happily married and has a good business.

8. ONYI IYECHI EGBUNA: DELIVERED FROM BEDWETTING THROUGH ANOINTING WATER

ONYI IYECHI

She explained that she had been bedwetting since she was 10 years old which caused a lot of stress for her parents. Even in secondary school, the problem continued, and the embarrassment prevented her from visiting people. When she married, the problem persisted and her husband found it repulsive and distressing. She even used her children to hide her bedwetting blaming them for the wet bed. Due to the problem, she became scared of sleeping at night. When she told her friends that she bedwet, one of them advised her to visit The SCOAN. When she came to The SCOAN, she was privileged to receive the Anointing Water. She then prayed and ministered it, believing that Christ would put an end to her trouble. Since September 2011, she has not been bedwetting. She advised people that should they have any kind of problem, they should run to Jesus and they will find solutions to their dilemmas.

9. MR AND MRS BOATENG: DELIVERED FROM BLEEDING AND BARRENNESS
   

   Mr &Mrs Boateng

She also used to see Wise Man Daniel in her dreams who re-assured her whenever she had any problems. She would watch Emmanuel TV in which troubled souls were delivered and she felt her case should not be an exception. She was told by medical doctors that she could never have a child. It was after coming to The SCOAN that something came out of her after prayer. The week she experienced labour, she went to the hospital but because of her belief in the God of T.B. Joshua, she refused to be operated on. She is today, very free, in Jesus’ name. In her advice, she said people should trust in God and He who did it for them will do it for every person. Their child is named Samuelle.

Following the testimonies was the laying of hands on the overflowing crowd by the wise men and also mass prayer.

THE SCOAN CANDLELIGHT SERVICE 2012

The service was marked with excitement and festivity. The massive crowd that attended was unprecedented in the history of the church including visitors from the four corners of the globe; it was really a scene to behold.

Everyone was in high spirits to “catch the fire”, and they danced to the rhythm of the songs by the church choir. No seat in the church or overflow congregation was empty and even the street that stretches from the main entrance of the church premises to the extreme end was filled to capacity. Nobody wore somber looks and it was a joyous occasion which enlivened the souls of all that took part.

The service featured a popular Nigerian musician, Tee Mac, whose solo performance was applauded. The SCOAN drama presented a prophetic message from Prophet T.B. Joshua for the year, 2013 called An Appeal To The Leaders.

Four Anointing Water testimonies were given. They include that of Honorable Ken who was delivered from the hands of kidnappers, Chika Okpala (a popular Nigerian actor/comedian) whose brother’s wife was saved from the hands of kidnappers, Dr Joseph Ayodele who was healed of mental disorder and Mr Thomas Batt from the USA but living in Germany who was healed inability to walk due to partial paralysis and a herniated disc.

CHIKA OKPALA

Prophet T.B. Joshua received wide applause when he entered the auditorium. He thanked the wise men who ministered prayer and deliverance. He also thanked the congregation for their prayers, particularly when he was on the mountain to commune with the Holy Spirit. He had gone there with the new Anointing Stickers and prayed over them. He assured that what is written on the stickers shall be fulfilled, in Jesus’ name. The new Anointing Stickers were distributed to the congregation by Prophet T.B. Joshua and the wise men.

Prior to ringing in the new year, candles were distributed to the congregation and Prophet T.B. Joshua using his own candle, lit the candles that were stationed in and outside the church. The congregation proceeded to light their candles from the ones lit by the prophet himself. During the mass prayer, Prophet T.B. Joshua declared the year 2013 to be the year of a new dream, a new prosperity, a new fulfillment and a new breakthrough. At the closing of the service, the grace was given for all the congregation to climb the altar and pray for the coming year.

Happy New Year 2013!

DEMON BEHIND BEDWETTING EXPOSED BY EMMANUEL TV!

Here is a wonderful testimony of a Cameroonian man whose son was supernaturally delivered from the scourge of bedwetting that had plagued his life since birth through praying along with Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV.

“Emmanuel! My son Achu O’Neil is 11 years old and a form three student in secondary school in Bamenda, Cameroon. The problem he faced since birth was that he was an acute bed-wetter. It was a very serious issue. We tried all we could to teach him to wake up before urinating without success. You could wake him up 20 times in the night to force him to go and urinate but in the next minute after returning, he would urinate on the bed. This was his experience, both in the night and the day. If he slept for just five minutes on the chair during the day, he would urinate on that chair. He is in a boarding school and faced humiliation everyday because of bedwetting. Because of this, he became very withdrawn and quiet.

“Then, on Monday 17th December, after a day of fasting, his mother was in the room with him when Emmanuel TV was playing in the background. Prophet T.B. Joshua began praying for the viewers, so she decided to pray with him. As the prophet started intensifying the prayer, he immediately started manifesting, refusing to touch the screen or even to pray! I arrived some five minutes later and immediately joined in the prayer. I got out my Anointing Water and began ministering it upon him as he continued to manifest. After close to twenty minutes of praying and spraying of Anointing Water, the demon departed, leaving a pool of urine on the floor! That was when the child came back to himself.

“My brothers and sisters in Christ, since that day, my son has stopped bedwetting and is sleeping soundly for the first time in his life! It is a wonderful testimony and we give all the glory to God! I am also very grateful to Prophet TB Joshua and Emmanuel TV for bringing me and my family closer to God! Truly, Emmanuel TV is changing lives, nations and the world!”

Emmanuel Ngu Achu – Cameroon

WORKS OF FAITH – PART 4

As millions around the world came to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, His healing, delivering and saving power was at work through His Spirit and manifest in the Live Services at The SCOAN. It was a Christmas weekend at The SCOAN to be remembered.

Jesus Christ, who came to reconcile man to Himself, reconciled many from the bondages of sicknesses, diseases and demonic oppression through the prayer of the Wise Men in The SCOAN Prayer Line. Jesus Christ, who was revealed this season as the light of the world, shone His light into the lives of many who were in darkness, through prophetic messages given by Prophet T.B. Joshua and the ministry of laying on of hands by the five Wise Men. Truly, Jesus Christ came that we might come to a place of resurrection in our being. Celebrations of His resurrection power continued as the man of God delivered a powerful message titled, Works Of Faith, Part 4.

Prophet T.B. Joshua took the proof text of the message from Galatians 5:1-4, 18-19. Paul gave us a very graphic picture of the senses and the spirit. Senses are all physical doors leading to the brain. This human body of ours is the laboratory where we learnt all we know of secular knowledge (gifts, talents, etc). The battle that we fight in our daily walk is with our senses. To conquer, our spirit must govern our senses. He explained that many are confessing faith in the Word yet denying it in action, trying to believe yet never acting on the Word. Our mind cannot be renewed by studying the Word alone. As our blood and our muscles are a part of us, so also the Word must become an integral part of us. The Psalmist said in Psalm 27:13 that he would have lost heart if he did not believe he would live to see the glory of the Lord. If you cannot believe that you will see the goodness of God, you will despair. The thing that keeps us from despairing is not what we see but what we believe. To conclude the message, the prophet stated, “We trust implicitly in the Word because we know God on His throne is backing up every Word. This gives us a quiet and restful confidence”.

Countless testimonies had been restored and the owners of the testimonies came back to share the good things God Almighty had done for them to strengthen the faith of all who had open hearts. The following summarizes just a few of them.

DR CHRIS NATH: BUSINESSS AND CAREER FAILURES TURNED AROUND THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF THE ANOINTING WATER

An environmentalist, he had come to The SCOAN in 2010 and was privileged to receive the Anointing Water. Prior to that time, a contract he had been awarded from one of the major oil companies in Nigeria had been revoked. He read Matthew 16:19, prayed for God to open the door of breakthrough in his life and ministered the Anointing Water. A week later, the contract was renewed and the contract sum he received was 35% higher than previously offered. He was also appointed a representative for ETP-STP and completed a four-flat duplex. On top of those blessings, he was also able to complete a PhD programme he had been struggling for 12 years to finish. He advised people to have strong faith in God in order to receive a strong answer from God.

 

MR AND MRS TONY IFEAGBU: THEIR CHILD WAS SAVED FROM IRREGULAR BREATHING THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER
Mrs Ifeagbu had delivered her child through a caesarean section operation but the real trouble began when doctors realized that the child could not breathe properly and therefore, had to be placed on oxygen. The fears regarding the survival of the child were immense until the husband’s younger brother decided to introduce the Anointing Water into the matter. The family had ministered it after praying and the child’s breathing was instantaneously restored! Even the doctors, who had earlier asked the family to pray on the issue for fear of what may happen to the child, marvelled at the news of the child’s recovery. Standing proudly before the congregation with his handsome son and wife by his side, Mr Tony Ifeagbu advised that no matter what people were going through, they should hold onto God and never neglect the Anointing Water in their affairs.

KEN EMEAKAYI: A NIGERIAN POLITICIAN DELIVERED FROM KIDNAPPERS THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER
He is a popular politician from Anambra, Nigeria who equally acknowledges himself as a “controversial politician”. Before June 2012, he was not one who believed in The SCOAN, the miracles which occurred in the church or the prophecies of Prophet T.B. Joshua. But on June 3, 2012, as he was driving in his car, he fell into the hands of hired kidnappers who had the aim of abducting and killing him. They took him to their den and waited for confirmation from their boss as to when to eliminate him. Mr Emeakayi was kept on the bare floor and had no water or food. He had even appealed to the kidnappers, stating that he was ready to pay twice the amount of the ransom but the boys had refused. Despite his state of unease and confusion, he later fell asleep. In his dream, he saw the bottle of Anointing Water his friend had previously given, placed carelessly in his bedroom. He heard a voice telling him to spray it on himself and pray that the blood of Jesus should work in his life. The dream repeated itself three times within a 25 minute period. When he woke up, the leader of the kidnappers arrived and instructed his men to give the politician new clothes, sandals, transport fare and drop him in a location where he can find transport to take him home. A few moments later, he found that he was free – released from the hand of hired killers through prayer with the Anointing Water! Though a doubting Thomas previously, he was grateful to God for his miraculous escape. He advised that people should always trust in God because of what He did in his life, though he was undeserving of God’s mercy. He said God used this ministry and the Anointing Water to save him and that he is a testimony to Nigeria and the world that what is happening at The SCOAN is real and not fabricated. The state chairman of the ruling political party in Anambra also resolved to share many bottles of the Anointing Water with fellow politicians in his state.

ENGINEER GODDEY GABRIEL: DELIVERED FROM ACUTE POVERTY THROUGH ANOINTING WATER
He was a contractor who could not get a single job for six years. He was full of poverty and disappointment. He had been sponsored by his wife to come to The SCOAN where he was privileged to receive a bottle of the Anointing Water, with which he had been praying. Heavy contracts had since started coming into his hands. He said, “Contracts have started looking for me”. Every morning, he would spray the Anointing Water into his mouth and pray. He brought an LPO of a multi-million naira contract to show the congregation along with photographs of a new Peugeot 406 car, a new set of trucks and a house he is now building. He said people should believe and trust in God because He is always ready to help those who believe in Him even in adversity.

VICTORIA OKOTOROUH: HER DAUGHTER IN UK SECURED CITIZENSHIP 3 DAYS AFTER MINISTERING THE ANOINTING WATER
Originating from Delta, Nigeria, she travelled to the United Kingdom, where she got married and sent her daughter to school. However, she had struggled hard for citizenship in that country without success for a long time. She came to The SCOAN, received the Anointing Water and immediately sent it to her daughter. Interestingly, three days after her daughter had received the Anointing Water in the UK, she called with the wonderful news that Mrs Victoria had been granted the citizenship that very day, saying that the courier had delivered it to her doorstep that morning. According to Mrs Victoria, people should have faith in God because He answers prayers.

ZHAO: REIMBURSED BY HER DEBTORS AFTER MINISTERING THE ANOINTING WATER
She was a Chinese businesswoman and had come to The SCOAN on discovering that the fortunes of her business were dwindling due to unpaid debts by her numerous customers. She had succeeded in receiving the Anointing Water which she took to China. After prayed over her matter with the Anointing Water, she discovered that her customers suddenly developed a change of heart. Some of them paid her off completely and others began paying their debt to her in instalments. She, full of happiness visibly expressed in the church on Sunday, said that all people must rely on God to have their problems solved.

IKENNA NNEBOR: RECONCILED WITH SON THROUGH PROPHECY
A video was replayed showing Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesying to Mr Nnebor that a child was crying, asking for his father. He had gone back to his hotel that day after the church service to ruminate over the prophecy. That night, he had had a dream in which he saw Prophet T.B. Joshua give him bread and pull him out of a pool of water. When he woke up, he remembered that he had once had a girlfriend in his village years back whom he had slept with “just once”. The girl become pregnant. Even after he was informed of the development by his brother, he refused to identify with the truth.

The child was born and the lady married another man but the child stayed with the grandmother. Mr Nnebor returned to the village to meet with the family and bring them to The SCOAN for reconciliation. After some resistance, the grandmother agreed to come with the child to honour the Word of God spoken through Prophet T.B. Joshua. During the course of the service, God’s ministry of reconciliation brought forgiveness and unity to the family and Mr Nnebor gave thanks to God for restoring meaning to his life.

FIBRESIMA TARIBO AND FAMILY: RECONCILIATION MADE POSSIBLE IN CHURCH AFTER WRONGFUL ACCUSATION OF WITCHCRAFT
A video was replayed showing a man receiving a prophecy from Prophet T.B. Joshua during a previous service to the effect that a woman was being wrongly accused in the family of being a witch because of the death of another man. During the Sunday service, the man came with some of his family members and representatives of the community.

Kenneth, a son to the woman accused, spoke on behalf of the family. His four children had each died mysteriously yet neither his mother nor uncle (Fibresima) visited him to console him. This was not the only reason he had accused his mother of being a witch. She had initially protested his marriage, arguing that his wife was too old for him and must be abandoned. His wife then insulted his mother, a crime the mother refused to forgive.

Prophet Joshua resolved the matter by stating that while the mother was involved in fetish practices, she was not a witch. He said that perhaps the Gospel had not been preached to her with power but believed that God would reveal Himself to her as the God that rescues and delivers. He then prayed with the family for reconciliation and peace, in Jesus’ name.

MR AND MRS PETER AND PORTIA ENEANYA: DELIVERED FROM AN EVIL SPIRIT AND RECONCILED
A video was replayed showing Prophet Joshua prophesying to a lady, asking where her husband was. He had told the husband that what he originally saw in the woman had faded because there was a man between them destroying their marriage. Mrs Portia Eneanya said she decided to come to The SCOAN because of her troubled marriage. She had experienced a spiritual husband from her youth after her grandfather had initiated her through native doctors. She said she had dreamt often of entering the water and turning into a crocodile and stated that she had no affection for her husband. She said she could not kiss him and that her spirit always controlled him on what to do. After her deliverance, the spiritual husband and spirit of crocodile left her and for the first time ever, she hugged her kids and kissed her husband. She said she had previously seen them as “things”. Prophet T.B. Joshua asked her what happened to her when Wise Man John Chi touched her and she said she felt something like an electric shock and that she didn’t know where she was at that time. She said all she saw was darkness and then a ray of light. Now, she is grateful to be free.

MRS CHIDIEBERE OKAFOR: DELIVERED FROM EVIL SPIRITS AND RECONCILED WITH FAMILY
A video was replayed showing a woman through whom a spirit spoke, saying it was the queen of the coast. It said it had committed many atrocities through the woman, that she flew at night and had tormented her husband until he sent her out of the house.

Mrs Chidiebere Okafor, from Enugu, Nigeria, was in church with members of her family. She said she used to see herself as a queen in her dreams and occasionally in a river. She had visited many places in search of solution without success and had decided to come to The SCOAN.  She said that she did not experience peace in her marital home, that with her evil powers she had cursed her sister-in-law and the latter’s marriage to her husband in the USA had crashed. Mrs Okafor became increasingly aggressive towards everyone and had once beaten her mother-in-law almost to the point of death before seizing her feet and dragging her along the floor. Pastors asked to deliver her in the past had to run away after finding themselves unable to do so. While trying to escape from her house when pursuers came for retribution, she suffered a dislocated ankle and a jagged wound on her foot as she jumped over the barbed wire fence.

Prophet T.B. Joshua declared that he would meet with the family members now that Mrs Chidiebere was delivered, to discuss their future peace.

The SCOAN Live Sunday Service ended with a million thanks to Jesus Christ, our Mediator, our Saviour, our Restorer, our Repairer, our Hope – the anchor of our souls. As we continue to celebrate His birth this season, let us emulate Christ in our actions, thoughts and utterances. Let us act love, do love and let love lead – for Love was born at Christmas!

Healed Of Heart Disease: A Touch From Heaven!

Here is a testimony of a Cameroonian lady who was diagnosed with a debilitating heart disease but upon coming to The SCOAN, received her total and complete healing! 

“Emmanuel! My name is Solange Gham and I am from Cameroon. I want to testify about how God healed me from a serious heart disease after coming to The SCOAN. I was diagnosed with a heart disease in Cameroon on 29th January and was booked for a heart surgery. I was devastated when I heard the news as I am just 26 years old and knew the seriousness of the situation. Physically I found myself getting easily tired and weak, even after just moving for small distances. I also had shortness of breath and concurrent chest pains. The prognosis was not good.

“Having watched Emmanuel TV, I came to The SCOAN on 2nd November and was registered for the prayer line. I was in The SCOAN auditorium on 6th and 7th of November. It was wonderful! During the Prayer Line and Sunday Service, I received a touch from the Wise Men and I also joined in for a time of powerful prayer with Prophet T.B Joshua. I flew back to Cameroon on the 11th of November and went for a checkup, full of faith that heaven had touched me. To the greatest surprise of my doctors, all traces of the disease disappeared! My heart is now fine and I have the medical report to confirm it! I am now fit and healthy and all the symptoms of the heart disease have totally disappeared. Glory be to God! Thank You, Jesus, for giving me another chance.”

“I Belong To Jesus” – Healed Through Emmanuel TV

Emmanuel! Enjoy this wonderful testimony from an Emmanuel TV viewer whose daughter was miraculously healed as she joined Prophet Τ.Β. Joshua in prayer from South Africa.

“Greetings in Jesus’ name! I want to testify how God healed my 21 month old daughter, Khanyisa Mabaso through Emmanuel TV. Whilst trying to walk, she had fallen down on her hand and seriously injured it. Her hand was twisted and she was always crying and in a lot of pain. She was unable to play with the affected hand and it had swollen up. She was in this pain for two days.

“Then, as I was watching Emmanuel TV, the man of God Prophet Τ.Β. Joshua began praying for the viewers. In the prayer, he was telling us to repeat the words, ‘I belong to Jesus!’ I was praying along with him, holding my daughter’s swollen hand in faith. Suddenly he said, ‘Viewers – when I say, ‘Be healed’, say, ‘I am healed.’ Instantly my daughter’s hand made a clicking sound as if something was moving back into place. At that moment, she received her miracle, started playing and was able to use the hand as normally if she had never injured it! Man of God, you are a blessing to our lives. I thank God for your life and the ministry of The SCOAN and Emmanuel TV.”

Sindi Mabaso, South Africa

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM TB JOSHUA, THE SCOAN & EMMANUEL TV FAMILY!!!

Emmanuel! On behalf of Prophet T.B. Joshua, The SCOAN and Emmanuel TV family, we wish you a blessed Christmas! Remember that Jesus Christ is the reason for Christmas. To many, Christmas is a time of celebration and joy. Yes it is but we should not forget to celebrate Jesus. To celebrate Jesus is to celebrate justice, peace, humility, faithfulness, kindness and love – I mean, all of His nature.

• Ask those who are facing injustice and they will tell you they need justice. You can bring them justice with God’s help as you celebrate Christmas.
• Ask those who are suffering hatred and they will tell you they need love. You can show them love as you celebrate Christmas.
• Ask those who are being persecuted innocently and they will tell you they need help. You can be of help to them as you celebrate Christmas.
• Ask those who are under the oppression and depression of satan and they will tell you they need deliverance. You can point them to Jesus, the Deliverer as you celebrate Christmas. Look for them.

They are facing injustice so that you can bring justice. They are being persecuted innocently so that you can rescue them. They are sick and oppressed so that you can bring them to Jesus, the Healer and Deliverer. They are lonely so that you can be their companion. Look for them.

That is what Jesus was born for, lived for and died for. He was born for, lived for and died for the poor, lonely, weak and needy. That is the essence of Christmas. Outside it, there is nothing. You come from God and everything you have comes from Him. What comes from God goes to Him.

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year in advance!
