In his brief message, Prophet T.B. Joshua reiterated his resolve to encourage job creation by entrepreneurs and organizations all over the world. In response to the numerous responses already received from across the globe, he said, we don’t need to ask whether a candidate belonged to this or that church. What matters is that they are human beings. If God give you job and you take God’s job, you must accept God and a sense of judgment will be the result; you will think right and judge right. You will have a desire to know what happens after this life is over. You will think about that if God gives you a job. The job offers will reduce crime and what is happening to the youth all over the world.

South African Gospel Singer Deborah Fraser was guest at The SCOAN Sunday Service where she performed two of her heart-rending hit-track songs to the high-spirited congregation who sang along and danced praising God.

Because of want of space, we are constrained to bring to you only a few of the testimonies of healing, deliverance and breakthroughs resulting from the use of the New Anointing Water, Anointing Sticker and praying with the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV.

GOD QUALIFIES THE UNQUALIFIED

Mrs Mariana Parkhotyuk from the USA, was without a job until she visited The SCOAN during Prophet T.B. Joshua’s 49th birthday. She did not have the requisite qualifications for the job she had her eyes on. She was privileged to meet with the man of God who gave her the Anointing Water. When she returned to the USA she prayed and ministered the Anointing Water on herself and to her credentials and said to God, “God qualifies the unqualified”.  After her prayers, she applied for a job as a Clinical Specialist and was given the job.  The organization also sent her for on-the-job training which resulted in rapid promotion and new placement in her career. She not only has a bigger salary than she had ever received; she also got the chance to further her education through the job she was blessed with. She believes strongly that God used the medium of the Anointing Water to bring about more blessing and favour in her life.

SCHOLARSHIP GRANTED OUT OF NOWHERE

Mr Bryson Still from Washington, USA, started a degree course in Education but was unable to get the finances to further his education. He had made several efforts towards raising the necessary funds but was unsuccessful. He was privileged to receive the Anointing Water and anointed himself with prayer believing for a breakthrough in the name of Jesus Christ. Shortly after, he received a call from the President of his college whom he never knew, offering him a scholarship to the tune of US $50,000 which covered his tuition and all other expenses. He now has a hope for a bright academic future to the glory of God.

HOPELESSNESS TURNED TO HAPPINESS

Lesego Mabote from Botswana, told her moving story of how in her place of work, she had been painfully waiting for promotion for more than 10 years. In spite of her strong attachment to her job and the zeal to do her best, she was disappointingly demoted whereas her colleagues were being promoted.

This unusual trend of administrative injustice caused her depression and she gave up hope of ever being able to move upward in her career.

She resigned herself to working only for money for food and utilities and not expecting a better and brighter career future.

In search of solution to her problem she went to prayer houses but nothing positive came out of her being prayed for.

Coming from a background of idol worshipping family, she was obliged to go back home to find out what the matter was. She was told by spiritualists that if she did not keep up the practices of her forbears she would not expect any success or breakthrough in her career. This revelation blackened her horizon and she believed there was not a single chance of her coming out of her predicament.

As she however watched Emmanuel TV and saw the wonderful testimonies given by people who had similar situation as hers, she decided to come to The SCOAN and was privileged to receive the Anointing Water.

When she got home, she began to minister the Anointing Water every day in the name of Jesus, believing that her help could only come from the Almighty. She also prayed that God should rewrite her history of being bound to family tradition. The Son of God declared her free and she is free indeed.

Not long after, out of the blue, she received a call from her manager that she was due to be promoted to Supervisor of the office.

She is now proud to be occupying the position of a Supervisor in her office. Her depression and despair have been turned into joy.

DRY BONES SHALL RISE AGAIN!

Mrs Navone from Tanzania was not able to walk and was bound to a wheelchair for a long time. She arrived at The SCOAN on a wheelchair. She had to depend on her children to do everything for her and that situation of helplessness affected her psychologically and caused her serious depression. She had to stop going to work and would sit at home all day, desperate for relief.

She went to many hospitals and traditional healers but no solution could be found. As she watched Emmanuel TV and saw many testimonies of people with even greater problems than her own she received renewed hope. The faith that her own miracle was possible made her ask to be brought to The SCOAN even if it meant coming on a stretcher.

When she arrived at The SCOAN, she was seated at the canopy section within the overflow congregation. According to her, she was surprised as she saw her daughter crying for the man of God to help her, that her mother was sick. The man of God sent for her and people came and quickly wheeled her inside the church.

The man of God, T.B. Joshua prayed for her, touched her and asked her to rise up, in Jesus’ name. Immediately, she got up and started walking without any pain. She can now carry out all her domestic chores without assistance from anyone!

Her daughter, Mary Mboya, also testified to the extraordinary healing which had taken place in the life of her mother. She explained how the constant care and attention the condition of her mother demanded, had become a burden to her. The journey from Tanzania to The SCOAN was not easy for them as they had to pass through several countries and the transfer from one aircraft or vehicle to another was tiring for both of them. Her mother would cry all night due to the pain in her legs.

Now, after the prayer, she sleeps peacefully. She no longer has to use a wheelchair and walks freely without any pain.

Their advice to the viewers and congregation was simple: Believe that Jesus Christ is the Healer and great Physician in this world.

After the testimony, Mrs Navone danced before the Lord with overflowing thankfulness in her heart. She was warmly embraced and

congratulated by the numerous attendees from all over the world who danced with her inside the church.

    Prophet T.B. Joshua

As the count-down begun to the 50th Birthday anniversary of the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, he took time to thank all those who had been praying and supporting him from all over the world. He reiterated his humble desire insisting that the best anyone could give to T.B. Joshua was to go on their knees and thank God for His life, pray for more support for the church of God for a strong bond of love, pray for nations all over the world and rededicate themselves to the act of giving. “To whom much is given, much is expected. The Lord has given me so much in all areas of my life which I cannot reciprocate. I know”, he reflected. “What an undeserved blessing. At 50, I should be grateful to God and show more commitment to His service”, he said.  “At 50, I have many things to learn from my Heavenly Father; my covenant has to be reviewed – that is, has to be re-examined because Christianity is a relationship. My behaviour, character, attitude is a reflection of my relationship with Him. What I have been doing is only a reflection of the relationship I have with God. So, great relationship, great work.”

The Prayer Line witnessed tremendous healings and deliverance from various sicknesses, diseases and afflictions as the wise men ministered prayer to the congregation in the name of Jesus Christ. The result was the following testimonies outlined here which was only a tip of the iceberg.

ANOINTING WATER TESTIMONIES

STILLBIRTH STOPPED

         Mr & Mrs Chijioke Okafor

Mr & Mrs Chijioke Okafor came to The SCOAN with a problem of stillbirths after having had to live without a child for eight years. The lady had had two stillbirths before the couple ran to The SCOAN to avoid a further occurrence in their life.

They were privileged to receive the Anointing Water. They prayed and ministered the Anointing Water to themselves believing that God would avert the problem of stillbirths in their marriage. This time around, by the power of God manifesting through the Anointing Water, the woman safely delivered a bouncing baby girl. She advised all to put their trust in God and at His time, He would answer.

NEW ANOINTING WATER OPENS DOORS FOR A NEW SECONDARY SCHOOL

                                   Mr & Mrs Timothy

Mr Agbaeze Timothy Ejike from Kano, Nigeria, had testified to being delivered from the spirit of bedwetting earlier this year. He and his wife run Primary and Nursery schools which did not yield the expected results. After his deliverance from the affliction of bedwetting, he was encouraged to once again demonstrate the power of God by which he was delivered, by ministering the Anointing Water to the entire premises of his schools that had become stagnant over a period of time. After the prayer, a friend of his approached him and offered to supply everything that they needed to build and equip the schools and to add a Secondary section. He did not invest anything of his own towards this expansion of the school. In addition, they received approval from the State government to operate as fully operative schools.

ANOINTING WATER FREES PARALYSED WOMAN

                              Mrs Daniel Efeunu

Mrs Daniel Efeunu from Rivers, Nigeria, had the problem of a spiritual husband. She used to have dreams of people chasing her and demanding money that they claimed she owed them. When she shared those dreams with her husband, he advised that she should come to The SCOAN for deliverance. They had sought solution from prayer houses and spiritualists, as was shown in a picture of how the native doctors had rubbed her legs and arms with purported medicinal native chalk which didn’t work. Her condition resulted in a stroke. On the very day she was to come to The SCOAN, Mr Daniel received a phone call from his daughter that his wife had complained of serious pain on her leg and was unable to get out of bed. Her condition became worse to the point that she was obliged to return to the herbalist instead. Unfortunately, the hospital too was unable to help the situation in spite of all the tests and drugs they had administered to her. The hospital discharged her and she had to go back to the house. Once they got back home, they tuned to Emmanuel TV and prayed along with the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua. Meanwhile, an old business client who had gotten hint of the problem Mrs Efeunu was having, offered to share the Anointing Water she had in her house. They ministered the Anointing Water in the name of Jesus Christ and immediately, the woman that had been bedridden for a long time rose and walked freely.

FROM GRASS TO GRACE

                        Dr & Mrs Martin Ndembe

Dr Martin Ndembe and wife, Cameroonians, had spent many years in Germany and were hardly known in their hometown. Disillusioned and frustrated, Dr Ndembe left Germany and returned home empty-handed. During the next seven years, he could not get a job.  He went to a friend’s house where he was privileged to watch Emmanuel TV and was captivated by the many miracles that the man of God was performing. That same night, in his dream, he encountered Prophet T.B. Joshua who prayed for him and said, “It is well; your problems are over.” He was determined by this experience to rush to The SCOAN where the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua blessed him with the Anointing Water. As soon as he went back to Cameroon, he joined hands with his wife and prayed with the Anointing Water believing that God would rescue them from their pitiable condition. Indeed, God touched this man and he had a powerful breakthrough. He had been appointed as the Director of Global Forum for the Defence of Human Rights as well as the Board Chairperson of the Global Forum of Human Rights. His wife also shared that she had seen the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua in a dream and was equally blessed by him. She too, had been appointed the Directress of Global Forum of Social and Women Affairs in Cameroon. They advised people to hold on to God, that there is no other name above the name, Jesus.

ANOTHER MAN’S TESTIMONY MADE A WAY FOR ME

 Mr Christian Onyejekwe

Mr Christian Onyejekwe – Enugu, Nigeria, had a problem of bed-wetting from childhood. He recounted how he had watched a testimony on Emmanuel TV, of a young man who had the problem of bed-wetting and believed that he too, could be delivered. He used to see himself urinating in his sleep only to wake up to find that he had urinated on his bed. Earlier in the year, he had seen the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua in his dream where he was prayed for.  After that experience, his mother who had earlier obtained the Anointing Water from The SCOAN gave it to him and he ministered it and prayed for a relief from the problem of bed-wetting. That same night, he dreamt again as he was urinating in his sleep. When he woke up he felt so angry with the belief that he had urinated again on his bed but upon examining his bed, he noticed that there was no urine, meaning he had stopped bed-wetting. He has completely been delivered from that affliction. He advised people to believe what they see on Emmanuel TV because it works as it has worked for him.

THE WIND OF PENTECOST UPROOTS ANCIENT TREE THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER

                                   Mr Paul Nwali

Mr Paul Nwali, Anambra – Nigeria, had a problem of addiction to drinking alcohol for nine years. He wasn’t able to concentrate on anything he was doing. This resulted in setbacks in his life. He was privileged to come to The SCOAN and obtain the Anointing Water which he prayerfully ministered to himself. Thereafter, the urge to drink left him and he has since quit consumption of alcohol.

Another breakthrough he had experienced was that he has a parcel of land he wished to develop but on which was a certain ancient tree that the elders warned should not be cut down else he would see the repercussions. Even some labourers he had sent to clear the land in readiness for construction work refused to cut down the tree because they were aware of the evil associated with the tree. Mr Nwali undertook to personally minister the Anointing Water round the foot of the tree. Immediately after his prayer, a strong wind came and pulled the tree which felled onto another man’s compound. When the villagers got wind of the uprooting of the ancient tree they rushed to the scene and asked him why he had felled the tree and he told them that it was the God of Prophet T.B. Joshua that brought the tree down.  It was apparently clear from the photograph he had taken that the tree was not hewed down with axe or saw but had been pulled from the roots by an act of God. He has now been able to commence building on the site without any malevolent consequences. He advises that we should do our best and leave the rest to God.

ANOINTING WATER HEALS HEART DISEASE AND BRINGS BREAKTHROUGH

                     Mrs Essie Sekyi

Mrs Essie Sekyi from Ghana, had for many years been experiencing troubles including health setbacks and stagnation in her career. She had read a book titled, “Dangerous Prayer Book” with a view to improving on her prayer life but reading that book complicated her problems rather than help her. She had been posted to a department in her job but was unable to function effectively. While in that department, however, she took to watching Emmanuel TV and began to experience positive changes in life. She was also privileged to meet with the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua and was prayed for. Thereafter, she started having breakthroughs in her job. She returned to The SCOAN and was prayed for by Prophet T.B. Joshua. When she went back to Ghana, her Director mentioned to her that there was some opportunities for promotion in her organization and advised her to apply. She did apply and was invited for the interview. Before attending the interview she prayed again with the Anointing Water which resulted in her being promoted to Assistant Commissioner for Training – a position far beyond her former position as Store Assistant.

Another testimony she shared was that she had been diagnosed with a heart disease leading to an enlarged heart. She used to be afraid of climbing stairs because she would lose her breath and become tired if she climbed stairs. Upon ministering the Anointing Water, she received her healing which was confirmed by a medical report she displayed. She advised people to follow the “Standard For Life” episodes on Emmanuel TV which is one avenue that the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua is using to build up viewers’ faith.

A DROP OF ANOINTING WATER BRINGS PROMOTION TO DIRECTOR

                        Dr Uzoma Akopunwanne

Dr Uzoma Akopunwanne, Imo – Nigeria, had been employed for a long time at the Presidency but could not rise above the position of Assistant Director. He had come to The SCOAN on the day the New Anointing Water was being launched. He could only receive a little drop from someone else who had received the New Anointing Water. He prayed with confidence believing that God would meet him at the point of his need. He ministered the Anointing Water into the air and prayed that promotion should no longer elude him. A few days later, he received a phone call that his promotion had been published. When he went to the office the following day, he received a letter showing that he had been raised to the position of Deputy Director of Niger-Delta Development Commission retrospective to the date he was due for promotion. His advice for people was not to lose hope but to call on the Lord and He would answer.

UNIVERSITY STUDENT DELIVERED FROM WAYWARD LIFESTYLE

        Mr Richard Edem

Mr Richard Edem from Ghana had been addicted to cigarettes, alcohol and night-clubbing. This addiction made him drop out of University in his final year. He was in the habit of insulting school authorities and making trouble with his fellow students on campus. His family members were disappointed with him because he had been sent to the best schools from early childhood and was known for producing excellent results. His mother visited The SCOAN and returned with the Anointing Water which was ministered on Mr Richard in the name of Jesus Christ. According to accounts from family members, he had manifested and had vomited poisonous substances in the midst of making many confessions as soon as he was prayed for. When he came to consciousness, he noticed that he felt lighter as if something had left his body. Since then, the urge to smoke, drink and mix with unproductive friends have left him. People who knew his previous wayward life have been congratulating him on his new life style – total abstinence from bad addictions. He advised people involved in immoral acts such as smoking and clubbing to be aware that God is watching us.

ANOINTING WATER MELTS MULTIPLE FIBROID

                           Mr & Mrs Akassa Azi

Mr & Mrs Akassa Azi, Gombe from Nigeria had been childless for 19 years because of multiple fibroid affecting the wife. During those years, friends and family members pressurized the man to leave the woman and marry another wife so that he could have a child. He received the Anointing Water from The SCOAN and prayed and they both ministered it to themselves in Jesus’ name. That night, his wife had a dream where she delivered a black substance into a plastic bag; she believed the substance was the fibroid. When she shared the dream with her husband, he reasoned that it must be the result of the Anointing Water which they had prayed with. She also noticed some remarkable changes in her system and was encouraged to return to the hospital for another check-up. The medical report showed that she no longer had fibroid, to the glory of God.

JESUS CHRIST OPENS DOORS TO BUSINESS REVIVING

         Mr Mwehu Jack

Mr Mwehu Jack residing in South Africa, has a security company which had been struggling with financial setback for years. He had had a series of problems of losing contracts which made him live from hand to mouth. He was privileged to visit The SCOAN and receive the Anointing Water which he ministered to his business with a prayer believing for breakthrough. Soon afterwards, he won a contract worth millions of South African Rands through the intervention of God Almighty. He advised people to stick to Jesus because without Him, we are nothing.

HEALING TESTIMONY

I WALKED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS AFTER BEING CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR

Mrs Buya and daughter Mary from Tanzania

Mrs Buya and daughter Mary from Tanzania

                                             Mrs Buya

The Sunday Service reached a breath-taking point when a young lady who had come to The SCOAN from Tanzania interrupted the prophecy ministration being conducted by the man of God, Prophet T.B Joshua. She cried out to draw attention to the fact that her paralyzed elderly mother was sitting in one of the overflow canopies in a wheelchair. When Prophet T.B. Joshua inquired what the matter was, the young lady said that her mother had been confined to the wheelchair for three years. She had been affected psychologically and was unable to perform her duties as a teacher. She had sought solution from several hospitals and referrals before it was suggested that she undergo an operation as that was the best the medics could do to save her life. As soon as Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed for the physically disabled woman, she rose from the wheelchair and walked in the midst of The SCOAN congregation for the first time in years. Glory be to the Master Healer – Jesus Christ!

Mrs Buya Walking To The Glory Of God

The congregation couldn’t help but join the overwhelmed woman and her daughter in a victory dance that lasted a while, as people besieged the woman to give her heart-rending hugs.

ONCE I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I CAN SEE

Mrs Naomi Kiloko was experiencing blindness for one year. What started as mere irritation of the eyes soon worsened to the point where her eyes became grossly swollen and she lost all vision. Medical doctors were unable to explain the sudden deterioration of her vision and discharged her from hospital offering no hope of solution.Mrs Kiloko would spend the entirety of her days alone, lying down on her bed in utter darkness and desolation.

It was in this condition that an extended family relative who was privileged to have visited The SCOAN and received the new Anointing Water came to see her. Using her hands to prise open the severely swollen eyelids, she ministered the New Anointing Water in Jesus’ name.

To the astonishment of all witnesses, a physical sound erupted as if a cork was unscrewed from a bottle! At that Divine moment, Mrs Kiloko’s sigh was restored! Blindness had been swallowed up in victory! Jumping up and proclaiming her ability to see, she astounded her family members by picking up a Bible and beginning to read. Several days later, all the swelling had disappeared and her vision was back to normalcy!

CRASHED BUT NOT CRUSHED

Mr James Asemota, a lorry driver, was driving along a highway when the brakes of his lorry failed. Veering out of control, the lorry hit an oncoming boulder and somersaulted into a ditch, ending up preciously perched on its side. He and his three passengers were trapped in the fallen lorry with the prospect of a fire erupting very imminent. As Mr James uttered a prayer for Divine protection, an extraordinary scene unfolded before his dazed eyes. He saw a giant man wearing a white robe and holding a sword emerge from the Anointing Sticker from The SCOAN that he had placed on the windscreen of his lorry. The tall man flashed the sword across the windscreen of the lorry. Instantly, the glass of the windscreen collapsed! He and his boys were able to come out through the collapsed windscreen safely. Remarkably, none of them recorded a single injury or bruise from the terrible accident. As Prophet T.B. Joshua says, “When the eyes of your faith are opened, you will know the protection that you are under.”

DELIVERED FROM ALCOHOLIC ADDICTION OF 25 YEARS

Mr Sunday Eghele, Edo, Nigeria, had been addicted to drinking alcohol for 25 years. The habit had adversely affected his marital life to the point that his wife threatened a divorce. He was unable to perform his normal duties. His wife who had earlier collected the Anointing Water from The SCOAN, ministered it to Mr Eghele and he immediately started manifesting in a strange manner. He had a dream where he wrestled with some strange beings that came to take away their children. He was able to overcome them by shouting out the name of Jesus Christ. In another vision that followed, he saw a giant man come out of his body and leave. He called his wife to bring the Anointing Water and as soon as he ministered it to himself in Jesus’ name, the giant man ran away. The following morning he woke up and went about his day alcohol free forgetting about the beers stored up in his refrigerator. He has since been free from the habit of consuming alcohol. The regular supplier of beer to the man saw the wife and asked her why the husband had not come for his usual drinks and she told the woman that her husband does not drink alcohol anymore. Indeed, he is free.

LECTURER NO LONGER USES GLASSES

Mrs Joy Nnaji, a Lecturer of Political Science, College of Science & Technology, Anambra, Nigeria, had a severe eye problem and was booked for an operation. Doctors had diagnosed cataracts and she had been using glasses for five years. The pain and discomfort she experienced continued to worsen as time progressed. She couldn’t do anything without wearing glasses, proving increasingly burdensome to her responsibilities as a lecturer.

As an avid viewer of Emmanuel TV, when Mrs Nnaji heard about the new Anointing Water, she believed that solution to her deteriorating condition had finally come. Priviliged to be among the few who received the New Anointing Water upon its release, she ministered it upon her affected eyes and slept. The next morning, she got up and noticed some mucous coming out from her eyes. She cleaned up and went to work as usual. To her surprise, she was able to read the scripts that were brought to her by her numerous students without using her glasses. Ever since the ministration of the new Anointing Water, the lecturer has stopped wearing glasses and all the accompanying aches and pains of the cataracts have completely gone. Thank You, Jesus Christ!

KIDNEY STONES MIRACULOUSLY HEALED

Mr Okocha Ifechukwude who works at the College of Medicine at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital had a problem of kidney stones which subjected him to bouts of trauma for twelve months. He explored all medical possibilities in order to cure his ailment but to no avail. His mother also took him to native doctors who were unable to help him out of the problem. He was then encouraged by his sister to visit The SCOAN where he collected the new Anointing Water and ministered it to himself believing God for a sure cure. To his amazement he noticed that he no longer felt the symptoms associated with the kidney stones. To confirm his healing, he returned to the Teaching Hospital for another scan. The University Teaching Hospital ran various tests on him and all indicated that he no longer had kidney stones. He confessed that he used to have a negative perception of The SCOAN and it was difficult for him to come to the church for prayer except for the severity of his disease and the fact that all other avenues had failed him. Indeed, God can use foolish things like sickness to draw us close to Him.

POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS

Miss Mhloti had been working as Admin Officer without promotion in her job. Her colleagues including his juniors were being promoted in due time. She visited many prayer houses in South Africa in search of solution to her problem but did not get promoted. On the day the New Anointing Water was launched by the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, a friend called her from The SCOAN and told her what was happening at The SCOAN and asked her to tune in to the Emmanuel TV. When she tuned in, she saw the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua praying for the masses and she placed her hands on the screen of her television and prayed along with the Prophet claiming to possess her possessions. The next morning, she went to her office and a letter of promotion was given to her appointing her as Senior Provisioning Administrative Officer; Budgeting and Planning.

FIBROID COMES OUT WITHOUT OPERATION

Miss Evarister Ezeh came to The SCOAN with an issue of multiple fibroids for three years. Her stomach was as big as that of a three month pregnancy, being both hard and painful to touch. Doctors said the only solution was for her to be operated upon. She declined having the operation believing that God could heal her through the medium of the Anointing Water. During the period of the affliction, she lost her job and her official car because she could no longer perform effectively in her work place.  A man who had received the Anointing Water from The SCOAN shared a little and she ministered it in Jesus’ name. That night, she saw the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua in her dream and he prayed for her. She woke up from the dream and felt something running down her legs. When she went to the bathroom and realized it was the fibroid that was coming out. She experienced a period of continuous bleeding with pieces of fibroid coming out. Now, she is healed and fibroid free – to God be the glory.

CULT LEADER AND DRUG DEALER DELIVERED IN JESUS’ NAME

Mr Oluwaseyi, a Nigerian living in South Africa was a cult gang leader and a notorious drug dealer. While attending university, he was initiated into cultism and soon rose through the ranks to become the cult’s leader. His lust for power led him to visit spiritualists and witchdoctors to procure charms for protection against attack from rival cultists which is a regular occurrence on campuses. At one time he had a face-to-face battle with some competing gang members where he was shot at but the bullet could not penetrate his body. After the running battle, he was declared wanted by the Police and run away from the university. He came back to Nigeria to hide but when he noticed that the arms of the law were still trailing him, he returned to South Africa. His girlfriend who was an Emmanuel TV addict tried to introduce the channel to him but he would rather paint a discouraging picture of the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua telling the girl that he is from Nigeria and that he knows that the Prophet was dubious and uses charms to perform the so-called miracles.

During these periods, he was often afflicted by a spiritual wife that used to make love to him in his dream. Things always turned rough whenever that spiritual wife met with him. At a point in time, his girlfriend visited The SCOAN and returned to South Africa with the Anointing Water. When he saw the Anointing Water, he ministered it into his mouth without any expectations as to what would happen. A few days later, some security personnel came to raid their house and arrested all the occupants including their house girl for drug peddling. His boss, who was a renowned drug baron, was arrested but he was inexplicably pushed aside by the security operatives. It became clear to him that such a narrow escape could not have been possible and he was able to link it with the Anointing Water he had inadvertently ministered to himself.

He then developed interest in viewing Emmanuel TV and decided to visit The SCOAN in Lagos, Nigeria to seek for deliverance. As Wise Man John Chi prayed for him, the evil spirit within Mr Oluwaseyi violently manifested and he was finally delivered and declared free, in Jesus’ name. Since his deliverance, his life has radically transformed! He testified that he is enjoying peace of mind for the first time in his life and all lust for drugs and women had completely vanished. He advised young people to be careful about the friends they keep as it was the company of bad friends at university that influenced him to join the cult. He further advised parents to be mindful of the gifts and clothes they buy for their children, noting that cultists in school usually look for those who are flashily and flamboyantly dressed as targets for potential recruitment into the cults. Thank You, Jesus Christ!

PROPHET T.B. JOSHUA’S 50^TH BIRTHDAY ADVICE

Prophet T.B. Joshua briefly commenting on his forthcoming 50^th birthday anniversary which falls on June 12, 2013, advocated that the best way to celebrate his birthday is for the people to pray for unity and love for the church of God. He says that we lack the strongest bond of love which is the backbone of unity that can only come by relationship. He also advised people to use their quality time to visit the sick in hospital, orphans and be a father to the fatherless and benefactor to the needy by extending scholarship schemes to the less privileged ones. He concluded that the best way to celebrate the birthday is by embracing these members of society, adding that it is an opportunity for soul-winning. He strongly advocated that people should rededicate their lives through acts of giving for a true transformation. He also reminded us that there is no one like you and there will never be anyone like you therefore, we should be imitators of God not man in the way we do things and that we should allow the Spirit of God to suggest to us that is when we will be ones with a difference.

AN EYE OPENING HEALING!

Susan Asuquo a worker with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was diagnosed with kidney failure. In addition, the family was facing serious financial problems. She tried to go into petty trading which could not do well and she eventually went into politics but lost all her money. She was experiencing severe waist pain and went to the hospital for a checkup only to find that her kidney was not functioning properly. Her husband said to her, “Why don’t you go to T.B. Joshua?” She rejected the idea because of the rumours she had heard about The SCOAN and the repercussions there may be for her work in the church. Her husband kept encouraging her and eventually she decided to watch Emmanuel TV and saw for herself that T.B. Joshua is a man of God.Soon after she met a grieving lady who said that her husband had died of kidney failure. She began to cry and the lady thought she was sympathizing with her situation but rather she had come to understand the reality of her own situation and imagined what would become of her husband and their three children if she died from this disease. With no job or any other means of supporting the family, the couple finally decided to come to The SCOAN. They were privileged to receive the new Anointing Water. That night in the hotel room, she ministered the Anointing Water to herself. That whole night, she felt as if her body was being cleansed and reinvigorated.

When she got back to her State she went to the doctors that had formally diagnosed her with kidney failure and they ran some tests which revealed that indeed she had a brand new kidney. The astonished doctor asked her whether she had attended The SCOAN upon seeing the remarkable transformation! Her advice to others is to not be deterred by others or listen to false rumours that could stop them from doing what God puts in their heart to do.

EMPLOYMENT WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED

During last Sunday’s service, Prophet T.B. Joshua made an appeal to entrepreneurs and institutions to create job vacancies for at least ten graduates.  To this end, a call was made for qualified graduates in the field of education to make themselves available for placement. The response was instant and overwhelming. Eventually, a total of twenty-four candidates from diverse backgrounds and various churches were successfully selected given job placements in a federal establishment. Today their situation has turned around and they are now working class graduates. Prophet T.B. Joshua used the occasion to stress that our membership in our local church is merely symbolic as the essence of the true church is Christ in us, the hope of glory. He called on the body of Christ to unite as one!

Emmanuel, God is with us! When God is with us, we know what follows – healing, deliverance and all of God’s blessings. We saw the evidence of God’s presence once again at The SCOAN during the prayer line which formed the beginning of the Sunday service, 26th May, 2013. Visitors from around the world came and received healing, deliverance and breakthrough as the wise men prayed for them in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

After the prayer line, the Sunday service was devoted to accommodating the teaming number of testifiers who were more eager than ever to share their testimonies of breakthrough, healing and deliverance through the medium of the Anointing Water. It is our earnest belief that you, too, will be richly blessed as you read these astonishing accounts of miracles happening at The SCOAN.

ANOINTING WATER TESTIMONIES

SEVERE HIP PROBLEM HEALED

Mrs Shelter Ugbebor had visited The SCOAN and was privileged to obtain the New Anointing Water. Back home, she had a neighbor who was watching Emmanuel TV and saw the clip showing where Mrs Ugbebor was receiving the Anointing Water.

This lady requested that she should minister the Anointing Water on her sister who had a hip problem that needed to undergo a surgical operation to have it replaced. The hip injury had lasted so long that people in the neighbourhood knew that her prolonged withdrawal from public view was as a result the problem. As soon as the New Anointing Water was ministered to the lady, she immediately sprang up and walked. The joyful uproar that greeted her miraculous healing attracted a huge crowd that soon gathered to behold the mighty power of Jesus Christ operating through the medium of the Anointing Water.

AIRCRAFT’S SAFE LANDING MADE POSSIBLE

Richard Martins, a Nigerian residing in South Africa, was on a journey from Johannesburg to Lagos. Right in the middle of the flight the pilot announced that the engine had caught fire and the plane had to be diverted to the nearest airport for an emergency landing.

The aircraft crew tried to calm the panic-stricken passengers, telling them they would be landing safely in 15 minutes. The first attempt at landing failed and the aircraft had to go back up in the air. The pilot attempted two more times but each attempt failed. They had to float about in the air for another 45 minutes. They could hear the pilot sending out distress calls to the airport that the aircraft was in great danger.  It was in this uncertainty that Richard remembered he had the Anointing Water in his possession. He ministered it in the plane, praying in the name of Jesus Christ for a safe landing. Miraculously, a few minutes later, the aircraft landed safely to the amazement of all including the airport ground crew who had already gathered with fire fighting trucks, anticipating the worst. Our Lord is indeed a miracle-working God.

DELIVERED FROM THE ACT OF MASTURBATION

Mr Sylvester had been engaged in the act of masturbation for 13 years. It all started when a friend suggested to him that it was a way of avoiding the sin of fornicating. He did not understand then that the act of masturbating was as bad as fornicating.  This act brought about many problems both in his career and health. He was into Property Management and was getting contracts from his state government but started experiencing disappointments from customers who would suddenly cancel business schedules. The act of masturbation caused him lack of affection for his wife as he would prefer to masturbate rather than being intimate with the wife. This and many other problems eventually led to the collapse of the marriage. He suffered back pain and feverish conditions. He tried in so many ways to stop including observing fasts but would end up masturbating the more.

He then decided to come to The SCOAN and received the Anointing Water. Getting back home, he ministered the Anointing Water on himself, in Jesus’ name. Since then, the urge to masturbate completely disappeared. He now has peace of conscience and renewed desire to please God. Praise the Lord!

MYSTERIOUS BIRD EXPOSED

There had been strange occurrences in the apartment that Mr Lucky Godwin and other tenants were living in. It was reported that at a time the landlord rushed out of his apartment and was shouting for help saying that something was pursuing him.

People had come out to hear the landlord but could not see anything pursuing him. The man slumped and died before he could receive any help. After his death, another family moved into his apartment and started hearing strange movements and noises in the ceiling. They started having financial problems, disappointments and business failure which they could not trace their origin since they were continuing the way they had been before. About the same time, Mr Godwin who happened to be a co-tenant also started experiencing business failure and his wife would continually dream of encounters with dead people. A pastor friend also living in one of the apartments in this compound complained that when he parked his car and switched off the engine, he would wake up the next morning to find the car engine on. This sparked quarrels between him and his neighbours, not knowing that there was an evil force at work, behind the strange occurrences. When he came to the SCOAN, he received the Anointing Water. He went home and prayed with his family that God should expose whatever evil that operated in the apartment. The next day, one of the tenants heard a strange noise in her house; looking up, she saw an owl flying over the flat. Immediately, her brother got a stick and was able to strike the owl down and kill it.

Since the death of the owl after ministering the Anointing Water, the entire compound and the tenants have enjoyed peace.  Mr Godwin’s business that had been tied down by the evil one suddenly resurrected and the strange experience regarding his pastor friend’s car has also stopped.

TEARS OF BROKENNESS WIPED AWAY

Miriam comes from Equatorial Guinea but lives in Spain. She had been jobless for seven years. She became a burden on her husband who had to opt out of the marriage thereby rendering her homeless. She did a secretarial course but still could not get a job. A friend of hers helped her with finances to go back to her country, Equatorial Guinea. It was there she learnt about Prophet TB Joshua and decided to come to The SCOAN and was privileged to receive the Anointing Water.

After praying fervently and ministering the Anointing Water to herself and on her credentials, she received a call from one the organizations she had earlier submitted a job application to and was offered the post of a manager of the international company. With a good job and the financial problems in her life over, she can now pay the school fees of her two children. She has been able to win big contracts for her company and because of this breakthough; her Director who was an unbeliever has granted her permission to visit The SCOAN again for more of God’s blessings.

SMOKING HABIT DESTROYED INSTANTLY

Tom Rockafellow from the USA came out to testify to complete deliverance from an addiction to smoking from childhood after receiving a prophecy and prayer for deliverance from T.B. Joshua. He said that before, he did not believe in the happenings at The SCOAN but was convinced when the man of God had told him about his brother wanting to commit suicide – something he had not told anyone. After he returned from The SCOAN, out of habit, he lit a cigarette but was immediately disgusted and threw it away, the desire for it having gone completely! The man of God, commented that “Leaders all over the world, when they are tense, they believe that smoking will relieve the tension and pressure. When they smoke, they are gone, out of this world. They lose their sense of reasoning and judgment. These are the challenges people are facing all over the world.”

He further said that we should pray for the whole world and that if there were any occasions for people in their thousands come out to protest, no leader would see thousands to protest and be calm without the Holy Spirit and that if there is no Holy Spirit, it is either they smoke, drink or find another alternative.

A WOMAN WITH AN ISSUE OF BLOOD

Esther Oni Jesus, a Nigerian living in Kampala, Uganda came forward to testify to the mighty power in God in her life. She had been bleeding profusely for ten years; it had not stopped for one day. The pain, mortification and discomfort had become difficult to bear. She had been to South Africa, Turkey, Cape Verde and India where various tests were conducted on her but the cause of the bleeding could not be identified.  She would use more than one pack of sanitary pads within a space of two hours. The problem had also caused her several business failures because she had lost focus and was unable to attend to her various engagements in person. Explaining the severity of her condition, she said that she was not able to sit for more than 15 minutes because her clothes would quickly become soaked with blood. As a result, she avoided going anywhere and would rather stay isolated at home. At times, clots of blood would fall from her body and she would not notice it until someone would point it out.

When her mother insisted she came to The SCOAN, she was at first unwilling because she had gone to places where she thought were very efficacious but could not get any relief from the affliction. Moreover, she had reservations about ‘so-called miracle works’ that went on at The SCOAN. When she eventually agreed to come to The SCOAN, she was seated at the nursing mothers section, afraid to sit in the church due to the bleeding. She was among those privileged to receive the new anointing water during the Live Service. When she returned to her lodging, she ministered it and drank some of it, praying that Jesus who delivered the woman with the issue of blood would deliver her.

That same night, she had a dream. She saw the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua who told her that God wanted to do an extraordinary thing with her that had never been done in this ministry. She was seated in front of the altar and the man of God instructed the wise men to lift her in that chair to the right seven times, to the left, seven times and to the front. Immediately they put her down, the man of God touched her forehead and said, “It is over”. She felt that she needed to go to the bathroom urgently. It was this feeling that woke her and she quickly ran to the toilet. To her greatest surprise, it was a pool of blood that came out from her. This happened three consecutive times. Since then, her bleeding had completely stopped. A plague of ten years came to an end abruptly through the power in the name of Jesus operating through the Anointing Water. Truly, God had done something extraordinary, something unheard of, something unprecedented. This is the first time in 10 years that she can go out without wearing a sanitary pad.

The man of God commented that the way and manner people receive the anointing water and God’s gift really matters. God is using the new anointing water to re-write people’s history. He explained the vision God had given him about the anointing water, saying that it would be used to purify people and make their lives, businesses and prospects clearer.

TRUTH OVERTAKES LYING

Pastor Obi, while sharing his testimony stated that he was a minister of God before and in obedience to the advice from his mentor, would pray against The SCOAN and Prophet T.B. Joshua.

He said he had thought that the power in The SCOAN was not from God and their members call it ‘The Synagogue of satan’, believing that T.B. Joshua and his workers had horns and tails like the devil is depicted. He and colleagues would hold prayer vigils specifically targeting and rebuking T.B. Joshua and his ministry. He noticed however, that the more he prayed against T.B. Joshua, the more he experienced setback in his life, home and ministry. After some time, his friend who had been without a child for 17 years came to The SCOAN, was healed, delivered and now has a baby. That opened his eyes and he decided to come to The SCOAN to see things for himself. He was surprised to hear the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua continually preaching about love, not condemnation of any ministry or minister. He asked God for forgiveness, stating that his condemnation of this ministry was the greatest mistake of his life. He confessed that he has now installed the Emmanuel TV decoder in his house. He further spoke of a prophecy he had received from Prophet T.B. Joshua during a previous Live Service where he was told to forgive his wife. He had been very angry and annoyed with his wife because she told him that if he travelled to Lagos to visit The SCOAN, he would die, according to a message she had received. He ignored what she said and came to Lagos and returned home safe and sound. His wife, who accompanied him on the occasion of giving this testimony, also spoke, thanking God for the grace in the life of the man of God and her husband’s faith.

Prophet T.B. Joshua commented that many mouths that had been used to curse the ministry in the past are now blessing God for the ministry. He concluded by saying, “If lying goes on for 100 years, one day, truth will meet it.”   “The mouth we are using to bless this ministry now, once, we have used it to curse this ministry. Now, people are provoked because they realize that they had made a mistake.”

After the testimonies, T.B. Joshua moved round ministering words of prophecy to individuals. The wise men then came to minister deliverance and pray for every person present. The service concluded with a powerful time of mass prayer as every bit of darkness in the lives of the people was exposed by the light of God.

Unfortunately, the distribution of the New Anointing Water had to be suspended ‘til further notice due to the overwhelming demands of the mammoth crowd that flooded every available space on both Saturday and Sunday services but due to the large presence of foreigners, the New Anointing Water would be given out that very weekend. Keep watching Emmanuel TV for further information.

The following testimonies are just a tip of the iceberg of the instant miracles that took place during the sharing of the New Anointing Water. Take note – the following testimonies were received without even opening the New Anointing Water. Merely by receiving the package, the power of God fell upon the individuals privileged to come into contact with the gift from God.

SPINAL CORD PAIN AND NUMBNESS HEALED IN AN INSTANT
Ms Abigail, a nurse from Ghana, had spinal cord pain for many years. She also had numbness on her right side from head to toe. As a result, she could not lift objects with her right hand. She could not stand for a couple of minutes without suffering excruciating pain. She could not turn to either side or bend to pick anything from below. During the Live Sunday Service at The SCOAN, she was privileged to receive the New Anointing Water that was being distributed free of charge to everybody in the service. As soon as she handled the packet of the New Anointing Water, she felt a cold sensation run through her spine and over her entire body. She started vibrating and eventually fell down. When she rose up, to her surprise, the spinal cord pain had gone. The numbness had also disappeared. She demonstrated how she is able to twist her body in all directions and could even touch her toes.

DEAFNESS CURED INSTANTLY
Mr Chinedu Kingsley Amahuadike – residing in Abuja, Nigeria, had come to The SCOAN with a problem of deafness in his right ear for two years. His deafness came about due to overdose of drugs he had taken for treating a malaria attack. He was unable to hear with that right side of his ear. He had to turn the left ear to be able to follow a conversation. After receiving the New Anointing Water during the Live Saturday Service, he ministered it prayerfully to his affected ear. He heard a sound as of a mild explosion and immediately began to hear with the right ear. He thanked God for this wonderful healing as he demonstrated, covering his left ear while answering the interviewer’s questions.

UNDISCLOSED FIBROID DISCHARGED
Mrs Esther Ezeanya – Anambra Nigeria, had problem of sleeplessness and depression. She could not plan for the future because a thought always came to her that it was useless since she was in such a hopeless state of health. She had moving objects in her stomach which gave her sleepless nights and serious pain. After receiving the New Anointing Water from The SCOAN, she stopped taking the medication that she had been on for so many years. Before she went to bed, she placed the packet of the New Anointing Water on her stomach and the New Anointing Stickers on her chest and prayed believing that God will make a way for her where there seemed to be no way. That very night, she slept peacefully all through and was even reluctant to wake up in spite of the alarm on her cell phone that went off as she had programmed. When she eventually awoke, she went to the restroom to ease herself and to her surprise, what forcefully came out of her was a very big lump of thick fibroid which had never been diagnosed by the doctors she had visited in the past. Now she feels very light and is free from all the pains.

ANOINTING WATER PAYS DEBTS
Mrs Ruth Ubani, a Legal Practitioner had been facing financial crisis for many years which led to her husband who is a Contractor being in multiple debts. Other people were at the same time owing them. They were unable to even afford a good meal during this period. It occurred to her that they should come to The SCOAN for their breakthrough. They were privileged to obtain the Anointing Water and prayed fervently believing that Jesus was their only option between success and failure. After ministering the Anointing Water in the name of Jesus, the next day, they started receiving calls from many people who were owing them huge amounts of money, to come and collect their money. A day following the miracle, they were able to buy a new car and have since built a storey building where they now reside. She glorifies God for the multiple favours and advised all to remain steadfast in following Jesus Christ whatever life brought.

AN INDIAN BOY SCORES 100% IN HIS FINAL EXAMS
Dr Ravi, an eye surgeon from India and a medical doctor for 24 years, lives and practices in Nigeria. He has a son that was in his final years at College in India to whom he sent the New Anointing Water. The boy in far away India used to pray and ministered the Anointing Water to himself while preparing for the final year examinations. The examination result was astonishingly 100% on all the science subjects namely, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Electronic Studies – a feat the teachers are saying nobody in history had scored such outstanding marks in the entire District. They have been asking the boy which books he had studied to come out with such unprecedented results. To God’s power, nothing is impossible.

MISSING GIRL RETURNS AFTER NEW ANOINTING WATER MINISTERED ON HER PHOTOGRAPH
Mrs Victoria came to the church highly excited with what God Almighty had done for her and her family. She testified that she and her daughter, who accompanied her, had a very good and close relationship. However, suddenly for no reason and without any prior quarrel or trouble, her daughter just left the home and for eight years she was not seen or heard from again. The family was perplexed and began to search for her earnestly but with no result. They visited churches and prayed believing that she would surface, but nothing positive happened. As Mrs Victoria came to the church yesterday, she received the New Anointing Water and ministered it on her daughter’s picture. To her surprise, she received a phone call from her daughter not up to 30 minutes later! To prove it, there was her daughter standing by her side, smiling gracefully at what the power of God had done. According to the girl, she could not tell what came over her as she followed a strange voice and left the house. She had lived in a house within the same town where her mother was living but she was unable to find her way back to her home. After eight years, she could feel some sensation run over her body just as her mother had ministered the New Anointing Water on her photograph and something left her body. It was at that point in time that it occurred to her to search for her mother’s phone number and she called to reunite with her mother. She is very happy to be back home.

KIDNEYS RESTORED

 Ndubueze shared her testimony of miraculous healing from chronic kidney failure through the medium of the New Anointing Water. Her mother opened the testimony by saying that her daughter had been at the point of death. Both her kidneys had failed and the medical professionals had given up on saving her life. She was unable to eat, talk, walk or do anything. It had even reached the point that she was telling her mother, that she had done a good job as a mother and that she would be leaving soon. Chinenye’s aunt visited The SCOAN and was privileged to receive the New Anointing Water. She visited the house where Chinenye was and ministered the New Anointing Water with her mother, praying that God would restore back to life whatever had died in her body. To their surprise, Chinenye immediately got up, walked around and demanded for food! A while later, they went to the hospital for a check-up and it was discovered that her urea levels which were deathly high before had gone down to normal levels. The medical reports of before and after the healing were displayed for all to see. Chinenye gave thanks to God for her miraculous healing and the strength in her body. Her two kidneys which had failed were restored back to normal by the blood of Jesus Christ through the New Anointing Water!

EYE PROBLEM CLEARED IN MOMENTS
A Pastor who came to visit The SCOAN came forward after receiving an instant miraculous healing after being given the New Anointing Water. He explained that he had suffered with poor vision for the past 26 years. Due to this affliction he was not able to see clearly let alone read, without his glasses. At home he had up to 7 pairs of glasses that he would use. He had even received injections due to the problem but it had persisted. When he was given the New Anointing Water, he placed it on his heart and prayed. He felt a sensation flow through him, then a watery mucous came out of his eyes. After this he noticed that he could see clearly without his glasses. He could read text messages, see people clearly and read without the use of his glasses – all glory be to God! There are not natural words to describe the mighty power of God that can use any means to locate His people except to say, “Thank You, Jesus Christ.”

NEW ANOINTING WATER SAVES FROM ARMED ROBBER ATTACK
Mr Iboyi and passengers boarded a mini-bus from Bayelsa travelling to Lagos. On getting to Benin bypass they ran into two armed robbers who had blocked the highway at a spot where their accomplices had been waiting in ambush. The driver tried to out manoeuvre the robbers, but received gunshot wounds in the process. One of the passengers in the bus brought the new Anointing Water he had previously obtained from The SCOAN and ministered it in the bus. The other robbers numbering more than 20 that had been hiding in the bush started firing at the bus, but surprisingly none of their bullets penetrated the bus or injured any of the passengers in the bus. At a point, the driver who had succeeded in driving away from the robbers, said he was tired but the same passenger ministered the Anointing Water to the driver and he regained the strength to drive on. To God be the glory, in Jesus’ name, none of the passengers were harmed in the incident and God Almighty proved that His arms are not too short to save and deliver.

DIVINE PROTECTION
OP Gyama Gyawiya is the head of security operations in the troubled area of northern Nigeria. He said that due to the nature of his job which was life threatening, he would make sure that every morning he prayed with the Anointing Water for protection. He was privileged to receive the New Anointing Water and he continued to pray with it and minister it on himself every day. One night, he was resting in his office while his orderly was also there on guard in the main office but was sleeping with his rifle under his pillow. Four armed men came to the premises and captured the security personnel at the gate; they arrived at his office and also captured his orderly and demanded for his rifle. They, however did not find where he was sleeping. They took all the captives into a cell, locked them up and left the premises. The next morning, other workers came to work and heard their colleagues shouting and crying for help in the cell. They had to call a welder to break the padlock and set them free. When they were released, they went to the office and to their utmost surprise, found the rifle exactly where it was left. OP Gyama Gyawiya explained that it was the grace of God that worked through the New Anointing Water that preserved them that night. If the armed robbers had taken the rifle, then he would have been dismissed and his career would have been in jeopardy.
His advice to his colleagues was to let the Anointing Water be their companion because their safety is in the Lord and their Refuge is in Him.

VISA ACCESS GRANTED AFTER MINISTERING THE NEW ANOINTING WATER
Mr Anozie Kingsley was experiencing setback in terms of getting a visa to travel out of the country to advance his business outside of Nigeria. He had been making applications for ten years without result. After he received the New Anointing Water, the next day, he received a call that a multiple visa to Canada had been issued to him. As if that was not mighty enough, a visa to India was also issued to him on the same day! After years of stagnation, God made a way within hours of ministering the New Anointing Water.

MIDNIGHT CONTRACT CALL WORTH MILLIONS
Mr Christian Nwachukwu Jackson from Ebonyi, Nigeria, came to The SCOAN with thousands of problems but believed God to meet him as He wills. He had been submitting proposals for contracts without results. This had kept him in a state of stagnation for a long time and he was unable to solve many personal and family issues. After receiving the New Anointing Water just yesterday, he prayed and ministered it over one of the proposals he had earlier submitted, fervently praying that God should grant him at least one outstanding proof of His mightiness. At exactly 12 midnight, he received a phone call from the Governor of the State asking his whereabouts. The State Governor asked him to come over on Tuesday morning to collect his approved proposal worth millions of Naira and that the issue which had been giving him sleepless nights now gave him boundless joy!

NEW ANOINTING WATER REVEALS MYSTERIOUS SCORPION 
 Fiamawle from Ghana was having a problem of movement of a strange object like a scorpion in his body which caused him severe pain. This affected him to the extent that he could not attend to his duties at work. He often referred to his afflictions as the presence of a scorpion but he could not be sure of that because he did not believe that a scorpion could live inside a person’s body. A friend of his had obtained the New Anointing Water from The SCOAN and had given him a few drops. In the night, he started feeling the movement of the scorpion in his body. This time, his faith was provoked and forced him to act. He knelt and prayed aggressively commanding the force of this strange object out of his body as he ministered the New Anointing Water to himself. Immediately after, to his amazement, a live scorpion fell from his body. He called one of his sisters to witness the object and he took a photograph of the scorpion. Since then, he no longer feels movement of any strange object in his body. He now sleeps soundly and has peace of mind. He advised people that trusting God is the only solution to our problems.

BOTTLED RESURRECTION POWER – THAT IS THE NEW ANOINTING WATER AND STICKER
Mrs Chioma from Imo, Nigeria, had watched a testimony of how a woman’s child came back to life after ministering the Anointing Water and this strengthened her faith that she should trust in God. Strangely one day, her child was crying in the afternoon, without any reason. She tried to feed and comfort the baby but nothing could stop her from crying. Later, she thought the child had slept, but upon checking on her, she noticed that she had died and her body was frozen stiff. She tried to unclench the child’s fingers but could not. At that moment, there was a blackout. She asked her husband to put on the generator so that they could tune on to Emmanuel TV. They started praying along with the man of God for their baby to come back to life. At that point in time, the lady recalled that a friend had just returned from The SCOAN and had obtained the New Anointing Water. They called that friend who had received the New Anointing Water to help them. The lady arrived and they ministered the Anointing Water on the baby and placed the New Anointing Sticker on her face. The baby started moving her head and body and subsequently regained life. She advised that we should trust God in all seasons of life.

DELIVERED FROM DEMONIC ATTACK OF EVIL BIRD
Mrs Mary Jacob from Kogi, Nigeria, used to see strange men coming to make love to her in her dreams. After every experience, she would have problems with her fiancé. In her dreams, she would see a bird coming to attack her. She sought for solution to this problem from various sources and prayer houses but to no avail. After obtaining the New Anointing Water from The SCOAN, she physically saw the bird coming to attack her and her sister immediately ministered the New Anointing Water which caused the instant death of the bird. She displayed the picture of a dead bird which happens to be the very bird that used to appear to her in her dreams. Since then she has been sleeping peacefully and no longer sees the bird.

SATURDAY SERVICE IS SUSPENDED HENCEFORTH

As the New Anointing Water was being handed out, the man of God made the announcement that The SCOAN Saturday Live Service would be suspended henceforth and encouraged viewers to watch Emmanuel TV for further details. However, the Thursday Prayer Line and Sunday Live Services would continue as normal.

With all that we have seen and heard over the weekend, what is left to say but to wonder what a God we have to worship, what a Son we have to praise and what a future lies before us who worship God in spirit and in truth? We encourage you to join Prophet T.B. Joshua and the Wise Men to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the four corners of the earth; in whatever way the Lord has blessed you, your gift is what God will use to bless others through you. So, reach out in compassion and generosity and demonstrate your spiritual unity with Christ through giving. As Prophet T.B. Joshua says, we make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.

One thing we need to remember is that Satan’s greatest interest is to overthrow our relationship to God as a Father. To do that, satan always uses our situation. This is why we should not be misled by our situation. Our situation could be poverty or sickness. Outward affliction and poverty are the great arguments satan uses to disturb the children of God. Therefore, as children of God, it is better to live poorly on the fruits of God’s goodness than to live plentifully upon the products of our own sin. Remember that everything big starts little. If anything big starts big, it calls for concern. Those who fail to take these tiny steps cannot trust God and understand the basic truth about faith.
Testimonies:
CHRONIC CASE OF BEDWETTING HEALED
Mr Awallu Gaboh, a muslim had the problem of bedwetting and frequent urination for twenty years. It all started when a spirit being possessed him, which came and made love to him. The problem had made it impossible for him to get married or visit friends. His relations and friends could not understand why he would not marry. He visited several herbalists in search of solution but to no avail. Then, a friend of his gave him the Anointing Water which he ministered on his male organ and all over his body. When the spiritual wife attempted to force herself on him, he noticed that a very powerful ray of light was covering him and preventing the lady from coming close to him. After many attempts, she gave up and left. Since then, he has been free from the chronic case of bedwetting of over 20 years. Being a muslim, he said it was the first time he had entered a church (The SCOAN) but as he saw the way Prophet T.B. Joshua had treated people from all religions, he felt welcomed. He said that Prophet T.B. Joshua was sent to everyone regardless of their religion. He also changed his mind concerning getting married, stating that it was now possible.
BARRENNESS AND ALCOHOLISM STOPPED
Mr Abu Abdulazeez from Benue State had been childless for many years after marriage. The medical report stated their diagnosis of bacterial infection but his wife often told him that a certain spiritual man used to sleep with her and make love to her in the dream. Mr. Abdulazeez who is a military personnel, had the problem of addiction to alcohol for thirty-one years and could drink more than three cartons of beer in a single day and to worsen his situation, he always spent time in the company of his colleagues who were also habitual drinkers. After each drinking spree, he would usually lose his cell phone and end up being helped home in a state of stupor. He had attempted to quit the habit on his own but could not. He was always late to work on account of the drunkenness. On one occasion, he sleep-walked into an unfamiliar bush due to the effect of alcohol until he was saved by a man who told him that he had travelled close to Kogi State very far away from Abuja, his planned destination. He was also in the habit of returning home late at nights. He had lost three of his cars due to accidents resulting from drunkenness. One fateful day, he visited a friend and joined them in watching Emmanuel TV. He was astonished to see cases of drunkenness being delivered through the prayer of the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua. He joined in the prayer by placing his hand on the screen of the television. He invited his wife to place her hand on the television and she did. As soon as she placed her hand, she fell down and started manifesting. Soon after, his wife conceived. For himself, he tried to visit his former beer parlour where he ordered for a bottle of beer but it tasted of bitters and he had to spit it out. Since then, his addiction of 31 years stopped. Today, the wife is pregnant. Mr Abdulazeez does not visit beer parlours anymore and they now enjoy a very peaceful home.
YOUNG MAN DELIVERED FROM DEMONIC KINGDOM AND DISCONNECTED FROM SECRET CULTS
Mr Innocent Oluchi Chidozie Ochia – Imo State, Nigeria was an active member of some number of secret cults for many years. He is a graduate of Federal Polytechnic, Nekede in Imo State. He was an ardent church goer and a choir boy until one of his relations introduced him to various brands of drugs. They were into the music industry and those drugs were supposed to make him feel good and bold while on stage. Ironically, the influence of those drugs erased every passion for the things of God and he developed apathy to Christian music. He could consume large doses of those drugs every day and had to spend much of his pocket money in acquiring them. On one occasion, he had concealed himself behind the counter of a bar, smoking his weed and playing music very loud. Three beings appeared to him right there and one of them said that it could pick up his thoughts. He did not believe the being, and spoke in silence to test him. The beings responded correspondingly to prove that they could actually read his mind. They told him that they could discern that he wanted to be famous and that they could help him get to the top of his career. He asked to be helped. One of the beings stripped off and to his surprise, he saw that it was tattooed from the neck to the groin region. They started an initiation process and were making noises as if in a sex orgy. He could not stand the sight any longer and decided to walk away. He was threatened with premature death in four days if he walked out on them. He, however, tried to submit to the initiation. Back at the Polytechnic, his life took a different form. He could hear voices and interpret lyrics that he never was part of their making. He became fearless. He had no money but could get just whatever he wanted so long as he was dressed in a peculiar spiritual fashion that those beings had recommended. When he sang on stage and off-stage, he could hold people in trance and those who were unable to stand the situation had to run away. The drug addiction got so bad that he had to be sent to rehab. His academic career started diminishing. He never prayed and refused to pay his tithes any longer. He preferred to do his chores on the Sabbath day instead. He hated the things of God. Incidentally, he was invited to The SCOAN to witness the testimony of one of his aunts who had been delivered from demonic influence. He felt very uncomfortable in the church and would rather have some cigarettes and alcohol. During prayer by Wise man Daniel, he was arrested and felt the separation from the spiritual beings that had tormented him. The pain he felt on his leg also disappeared after he was touched and prayed for by the wise man. He advises the youths in particular that if they would make Heaven, they should avoid worldly affections such as smoking, doing drugs, drinking and lustfulness – telling them that Jesus Christ was not a womanizer or a drug addict.
He now enjoys reading the Bible and is eager to receive the Word of God that will inspire him.

SON OF A POPULAR NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS AND MUSICIAN DELIVERED FROM DEMONIC KINGDOM
Mr Samuel Freedom is the son of Camilla, a renowned Nollywood actress. He said he came to The SCOAN after his mother had been delivered of evil attacks and connection to the marine kingdom. He says that in a prophecy given to her by Prophet T.B. Joshua, his mother was asked where her son was. She responded that he was in Enugu and the man of God said he should be brought to The SCOAN. Previously, he had been practicing house to house evangelism and praying for the sick with signs following, though he had never been delivered himself. He confessed that during that period, he had an affair with a lady from the same church where he worshipped. Thereafter, his spiritual life took a downward turn. He experienced some career failure and stagnation. Nothing was working for him; he became depressed and often heard a voice telling him to commit suicide. He began looking for alternatives; he started listening to worldly music and doing street dance. He formed a dance group and they wanted to create new moves. They researched online and found different demonic signs which they formulated into dance moves. He would have dreams where demons would teach him dance steps. He would then in turn teach others how to dance in that way. He wanted to get money; so, he searched on the internet and found the Illuminati website; he read everything on the website and saw the face of the master of the Illuminati. His first experience was an encounter with the master in a dream. The master appeared in the form of a serpent and then later transformed into a human being, giving him instructions. Thereafter, he started using some of those signs that represented Illuminati in dance steps on stage, but participants never got to know that those dance steps were glorifying demons and initiating them into the kingdom of darkness. The more the people adopted the dance steps, the more they were tormented by demons. He had a shirt with the Illuminati insignia, which he usually wore especially on stage. He had a computer game known as Prince of Persia which he always played during the day. At night, he would see himself as the character from the video game, the Prince of Persia, flying, fighting and doing everything the character in the game was doing. He was in the habit of masturbating even though he detested the act and would regret it later.
He eventually came to The SCOAN and was delivered after prayer from Wise Man Christopher. He no longer has the urge to masturbate, smoke or drink. He advised parents to keep objects of bad moral influence away from their children. He advised youth not to download worldly music on their phones. His advice to pastors was to run to God for mercy for He is a merciful God.
A NIGHTCLUB DEEJAY IS NOT WHAT I WAS CALLED TO BE
Pastor Philip Onyekachukwu of Prince of Peace Ministries International and brother of Ms Camilla, the popular Nollywood actress, said he had received a call of God and then when his finances were down, he backslid to become a nightclub Deejay. He said he was not properly taught how to maintain his walk with the Lord. He could not pay his school fees and had to abandon the ministry. He had a dream where two women put their hands inside his chest after
which he became sick. He went from one place to another in search of a solution to his sickness which doctors were unable to diagnose. Later, he returned to being a pastor, though he acknowledged that he did so without being delivered. Consequently, he experienced setback in his ministry. He said that the church would grow and then later scatter. He would also hear voices rebuking him, telling him he was never going to make it and that the church was going down. He came to The SCOAN where he was prayed for by one of the wise men and received his deliverance. He said after his deliverance, he no longer heard negative voices and also the pain he had in his body was gone.
NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS WENT THROUGH THOROUGH SCREENING
Mrs Camilla, a Senior Nollywood Actress for 29 years said she didn’t have a hand in how, where and when she was born. She decided who she wanted to be when she came to The SCOAN. Many of her colleagues had discouraged her from coming to The SCOAN. She said, “Many of them are scared of coming to be screened by the Holy Ghost”. According to the actress, she was delivered at The SCOAN and also received a prophecy concerning her son. She brought him to The SCOAN together with her brother (Pastor Philip Onyekachukwu) for deliverance. She said she came for God to change her spiritual occasion from sin to holiness and she got it. She encouraged all to seek the face of God.
THE TRUTH ABOUT TATTOOS REVEALED
John Bosco from Cameroon gave a testimony of how he had a tooth problem and a woman had advised him to apply snuff tobacco as a solution to the problem. The effect of the tobacco made him feel high in spirit. He became addicted to it and eventually became very sick and lost a lot of weight. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis and gastric ulcer and reached rock bottom in life. One night, he had a dream whereby he saw the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua in his dream who prayed for him. Soon after the dream, he had a full recovery from his sicknesses and was restored back to his original self. To add to his blessing, he was also offered a good job from an offshore company with good pay and his life experienced a dramatic turnaround for the better. He was so overjoyed at the healing and blessing he received that he asked himself what he could do to

say, “Thank you”. He then called a tattoo artist and asked him to design a tattoo for him written, “Jesus Is Lord, T.B. Joshua My Prophet”. He had the tattoo inscribed across his shoulder. As he developed interest in studying the Scriptures, he came to a portion in the Book of Leviticus 19:28, which spoke against the act of putting marks of any sort on the body and immediately regretted doing the tattoo. He was so disturbed in his mind that he sent an email to the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua asking what he could do. The prophet then invited him to The SCOAN.
After sharing his experience, the man of God addressed the issue. “Just see it as one of those things on your body, not for God. If you see it like that, press forwards to serve God in Spirit and in truth. Don’t see it as a way of pleasing God. Don’t let it disturb you anymore. Put it behind you. Since you can’t remove it, leave it and continue to serve God.”
Prophet T.B. Joshua further said, “Faith is of man’s spirit, not of his flesh or body”. He advised the man that he should see the tattoo as something for his body and not for God. He said now that he had realized it was wrong, he should put it behind him and seek God. He said the tattoo had no meaning to God and is not to please God. He also advised Christians who already had tattoos and wanted to remove them, not to have them surgically removed as this was a trap of satan, which could lead to other skin complications. He concluded by saying that when we worship God in Spirit and truth, whatever we have put on our body is nullified.
MODIFY YOUR CULTURE TO SUIT CHRIST’S IDEOLOGY
Deacon Daniel Emoghawei came to The SCOAN and received a prophecy. Prophet T.B. Joshua asked him about his wife and had spoken concerning the conflict at home and the spirit of anger. Today, Deacon Daniel Emoghawei came back together with his wife to confirm the prophecy. He explained that the cause of most conflicts in the house was regarding his wife’s clothing and makeup. As a deacon, he didn’t like to see his wife with revealing clothes and heavy makeup. He further told the prophet that even on their wedding day, they had fought concerning the same matter. Apart from that, according to the husband, the wife had the spirit of anger that caused her to argue and get angry unnecessarily. His wife also spoke, complaining that they would always quarrel and never agree on anything in the house. She further said that her husband would beat her and this had heightened the tension in the marriage.
Listening to their story, Prophet T.B. Joshua expressed his belief from God’s point of view that God is Spirit and that those who want to worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and truth. Therefore, for God to hear, help or answer us, we must talk to Him in Spirit but the problem people have is that many have not been dealing with God in Spirit but in the natural.
Prophet T.B. Joshua explained that there was nothing wrong in putting on makeup but that our ideology and culture must be modified to suit Christ’s ideology. He added that if someone has the spirit of lust, whether he or she applies makeup or not does not make any difference because it is a spiritual matter and can only be resolved through being delivered.
He asked them what their position was concerning the marriage. They both said that they still loved each other as husband and wife but just wanted the conflict in their marriage to stop. Prophet T.B. Joshua encouraged the couple that there could be no understanding without misunderstanding. He said that if you ask any successful couple today about their experiences, they would tell you that they passed through the shadow of death before they arrived at a successful marriage. T.B. Joshua concluded by advising, “There is a time to fight and there is a time to embrace each other. No matter what happens, God has something to say, even in a broken situation. Therefore, we should always ask for God’s opinion concerning all things”.
The new brand of Anointing Water was officially launched. People were falling under the anointing of God upon receiving the new Anointing Water and Stickers. Inspired by the Spirit of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua gave out The New Anointing Water and Stickers for free to the congregation both inside and outside the auditorium as his 50th Birthday gift and in dedication to the blessed memory of his mother on the occasion of this year’s Mothers Day celebration.
The man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua gave the grace for the congregation to receive the rebranded Anointing Water and Stickers for the first time after their official launch today. Excitement and shouts of joy rented the atmosphere as the long-awaited release was announced by the prophet. As soon as the Anointing Water and Stickers were given out freely to the congregation, people began to shake, roll on the floor and vomit out dangerous substances that had been lodged in their system, under the power of God. They hadn’t even opened the packaging before Jesus Christ began to work in their situation. Mrs Towoju from Kwara State, Nigeria was among many who after merely receiving the New Anointing Water and Sticker received a miracle. She came out to testify that God healed her of a stroke after merely collecting a bottle of the Anointing Water along with the Anointing Sticker. Glory be to God!
Ifeoma had suffered serious headaches but immediately the Anointing Water and Sticker were given to her, just by merely touching the packaging, caused her to fall under the anointing of God and receive her healing. Upon getting up from the floor, she realized that God had performed the miracle. No more headaches!

Prophet T.B. Joshua

The Saturday and Sunday services of the 4th and 5th of May, 2013 have come and gone but the memories of the happenings would continue to linger in the minds of millions all over the world. We saw countless proofs that Jesus Christ lives; He never said goodbye. During the service, many people came forward to testify of what God had done in their lives, reassuring that it is His will for us to prosper in every department of our lives.

Wise Man John Chi

Wise Man John Chi gave a moving message saying that our situation is for a greater purpose than what we can see. He encouraged us that if we accept adversity, enduring every pain, we would learn what we should know and our grief would turn to gain and that in the face of unfavourable circumstances, we should stand our ground fearlessly, without wavering. In the message, we were also made to understand that when God is executing His plans in our lives, He designs and arranges events that would continue to unfold until His purpose in our lives is revealed.

Aside from these words of wisdom and comfort, we heard numerous testimonies. Amongst the testimonies given were those wrought through the medium of the Anointing Water, which we can read below:

ASTOUNDING BREAKTHROUGH!

Mrs Agatha Wirehere from Ghana was facing stagnation and was struggling financially. She was the owner of a school in Ghana which they ran from their home with only 20 pupils. Encouraged by many testimonies she had listened to on Emmanuel TV she decided to come to The SCOAN for her own breakthrough. She came and received the Anointing Water believing that God can use any medium to turn one’s situation around. She took the Anointing Water back to Ghana and began to minister it all around their compound.

Mrs Agatha

Soon after this, everything began to change for the better. The school became popular and many new pupils were enrolled, which enabled her to build two brand new school buildings with a computer laboratory, science laboratory and art studio. The students amazingly went from 20 to 600 in number.

By reason of the miracle of the Anointing Water, they bought four buses and four other cars to transport the students and teachers to and from school and on various educational excursions. They also acquired 20 acres of extra land for sporting and other activities.

Following all this, the educational authorities came round to inspect the school and after inspection, they were highly satisfied with the standard and graded the school as a Class-A school – God is able to do more than we can ever dream – thank You, Jesus!

BLESSING IN EVERY AREA OF LIFE!

Mr & Mrs Okeke came to the SCOAN due to the problem of extreme poverty. They found it difficult to eat. Her husband drove an ‘okada’ (a motorbike taxi). She was a seamstress by profession but had no customers. They got the Anointing Water and ministered it. Soon after, Mr Okeke was able to buy his own motorbike (rather than renting from others), to transport people around. Business was going so well that they bought a plot of land.

Mr & Mrs Okeke

DISCONNECTED FROM SATANIC BONDAGE

Mr Friday was young and seeking for power and out of desperation, he received an occultic book from his friend. The book gave step by step instructions on soul-travelling experience. After reading the book, in his dream he was given an address and a phone number. When he woke up, he physically saw a sign post on which was written the very number given to him in the dream. He called the number and was directed on how to locate an occultic temple which he decided to visit. Upon getting there, he was further initiated into the occultic world and given a secret name and another occultic book. The very moment he practiced the experiment contained in the occultic book, he found himself on the roof of his house which marked his first experience in soul travelling.

Mr Friday

At a point in time, a man owed Mr Friday some money and he decided to take action against the man using his occultic powers. Meanwhile, a friend had deposited a fridge in his custody and stuck on the fridge was an Anointing Sticker from The SCOAN. As he attempted to travel astrally to avenge his debtor, he discovered to his greatest surprise that he could not. All this while, he had believed that there was no other power above his occultic power. He began to search the source of the power that had hindered his evil plan. That was when he noticed the Anointing Sticker on the fridge. Spiritually, he saw the hand of Prophet TB Joshua in that Anointing Sticker pointing to a Man nailed to a Cross with blood dripping from his body. That was when he admitted that there was a superior power and needed to find out where the power came from.

He came all the way from his base to The SCOAN. While in front of the church, he tried to initiate the pictures adorning the front of the church. According to him, if he succeeded, anyone who passed by the pictures would think negatively about The SCOAN. In the long run, he could not achieve his evil mission but instead found himself inside The SCOAN church where the Wise Men were laying hands on the members of the congregation. Laughing to himself, he thought ‘What are they trying to do?’ The next minute, one of the Wise Men was walking towards him. He felt a hot sensation in his body and that was all he could remember until he was brought forward for deliverance. During the process of his deliverance, his evil mission was exposed and he displayed all the occultic books with which he had been operating. Finally, he was delivered from the kingdom of darkness. Since then, he has acknowledged Jesus as Lord above all. He no longer travels astrally or sees the occultic masters as he has been totally disconnected from them. To God be the glory!

WOMAN SET FREE FROM SPIRIT OF MASTURBATION FOR 5 YEARS

Mrs Lucy Nwachukwu has been masturbating for five years. She had engaged in the act at the rate of five times every day. She would not have any affection towards men as a result. She would always find fault with any man that approached her and chased them away.

Mrs Lucy

After seeing testimonies of people delivered of the same problem she was going through, she made a trip to The SCOAN and was privileged to receive The Anointing Water. After ministering it on herself, the urge to masturbate ceased automatically. She has received several breakthroughs since ministering the Anointing Water.

BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE

Mr Arisou Enebikedou complained of a stomach ache. Upon going to the doctor, he was diagnosed with appendicitis. He was rushed to the hospital with a case of a ruptured appendix and was booked for an operation. When his brother heard the news, he rushed to the hospital and saw Mr Arisou lying limp as, to his dismay, he had died! As the doctors and nurses were lamenting the death of his brother, he asked to be allowed to see him once more. Upon entering the room, he began to minister the Anointing Water on the lifeless body. Immediately, the brother’s body started jerking and after some time came back to life!

Mr Arisou and brother

As he testified at The SCOAN, he displayed two medical reports – one showing the ruptured appendix and the other confirming that he is now healed of the appendicitis after ministering the Anointing Water.

DELIVERED FROM THE CLUTCHES OF A GIANT SPIRITUAL HUSBAND

Mr & Mrs Charles, both pastors, received a prophecy during the Sunday service. Prophet T.B. Joshua walked to Mrs Charles and prophesied to her saying that she had a spiritual husband, a giant man. Pastor Charles let himself be known and T.B. Joshua was further prophesied to, that the spiritual husband had given him low sperm count which he immediately confirmed. The prophecy was followed by instant deliverance.

Mr & Mrs Charles

DIVORCE THREAT ELIMINATED AFTER PROPHETIC MESSAGE

Whilst moving in the midst of the congregation and giving words of prophecy to the people, Prophet T.B. Joshua got to where Mrs Franca Oke was seated and instead of prophesying to her, he simply asked her to wait. He then went further to prophesy to a man telling him that he sees a court case. As he was attending to this man, Mrs Franca Oke whom he had earlier asked to wait rushed forward declaring that the man Prophet TB Joshua was speaking to is her husband. The man of God then explained to the congregation that the directive he got from the Holy Spirit to ask Mrs Franca Oke to wait was because God wanted to settle their case.

Mr & Mrs Godwin Oke

HEALED OF FIBROID IN MOMENTS

The Five Wise Men prayed for everyone inside and outside of the auditorium. During the time of prayer and deliverance, a lady received instant healing. She came with the problem of fibroid and immediately after receiving prayer she felt movement in her womb like a woman in labour. She ran to the restroom and to her greatest surprise the fibroid had been loosed from her womb and had dropped and fallen out of her body. God is the miracle worker and He remains the same – to God’s power nothing is impossible. We serve a mighty God.

Let us know your testimony as well, we can’t wait to hear from you.

The SCOAN Sunday Prayer Line of the last week of April kicked off with the prayer line where international visitors to The SCOAN were prayed for in the name of Jesus Christ by the wise men. The name of Jesus Christ has power indeed and all who witnessed the prayer line saw the proof that Jesus’ power has not stopped just because He is not visible. In fact, it is even greater because He can be present in all places at all times by His Spirit.

TESTIMONY TIME

Here are a few highlights selected from among the many testimonies given for the glory of God that service.

SLEEP APNEA STRUCK DOWN AND SPIRITUAL HUSBAND SENT PACKING

Ms Tola Simeon, gave a powerful testimony of healing, saying that she was diagnosed with sleep apnea more than 20 years ago. She described her life as hell because during her sleep, her tongue would block her breathing. She lived in the constant paranoia that every night that she might not wake up the next morning. Because of this problem, she would sleep while she was at work as she always kept herself awake during the night. She recounted how once, at a conference at work, she fell asleep unknowingly, causing great embarrassment. She was dependent on a machine to breathe at night.

Desperate for a solution, she discovered Emmanuel TV and determined to make her way to The SCOAN. She was placed on the prayer line and Wise Man Racine prayed for her and she received her healing. After the prayer, she had a dream where someone placed a machine on her nose and she was able to breathe freely. She can now breathe freely without any stress and sleeps peacefully, no longer needing a machine.

She further testified how she had been delivered from a spiritual husband. She said right from when she was a teenager, she would experience someone coming and sleeping with her in her dreams. As a result, she experienced bitter disappointments in relationships. She also had limitations in her career; any time she got a job, she would lose it within three months. She said the spiritual husband would appear to her, dressed in black with charms everywhere and would warn her not to get married. When she did get married, the men sleeping with her increased, to the extent that when she was pregnant, up to 10 men would be under her, on top of her and around her in her dreams. The spiritual husband made her husband leave her when the baby was two months old. When she came to The SCOAN, she received deliverance from the wicked spiritual husband when Wise Man John Chi prayed for her, in Jesus’ name. After the deliverance, she no longer sees the spiritual husband and has restored peace of mind. The advice she gave was simple: “Prophet T.B. Joshua is a man of God; there is power in this place. Come and receive your own deliverance, in Jesus’ name”.

BARRENNESS OF 11 YEARS OBLITERATED
Mr and Mrs Ernest Eze testified to healing of barrenness for 11 years after ministering the Anointing Water. A generational curse of barrenness had stricken her family for years. They had visited many spiritualists in search for a solution to the predicament. Mrs Eze said that she would cry in pain any time she had seen couples celebrating their new baby whereas, she had no such story to tell. Mr Eze said that God had turned their tears to joy. He was lost for words as he was not able to express the happiness they had found. After they had administered the Anointing Water, within a few months, Mrs Eze became pregnant and she safely gave birth to a baby boy, who they named, ‘Laughter’. They promised to train Laughter in the way of the Lord so that when he grows up, he will not depart from it.

SON RESURRECTED AFTER BEING RUN OVER TWICE
Mrs Onwumechure Nkechinuere testified that she had a terrible dream that someone wanted to kill her but the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua appeared and rescued her. When she woke up, two separate people called her that they had dreamt that her son died. She also complained of a generational curse of premature death in the family. When she heard, she rebuked it, in Jesus’ name and said it would not happen. After a while, she heard her two sons arguing about a pen, so she called them out and gave them money to get another pen to settle the matter. She did not know that immediately, her son ran out in the middle of the road and was hit by two cars consecutively and had died instantly. She only heard the sounds of “He’s dead!” from the street. She ran immediately into the house and collected the Anointing Water she had received from The SCOAN and proceeded to sprint to the hospital where her son had been carried. When she reached him, she saw that he was cold and stiff. She prayed in faith, “Let there be light, in the name of Jesus! Listen to my voice and the voice of T.B. Joshua, you must rise up!” She called his name and then sprayed Anointing Water on his legs. As soon as she ministered the Anointing Water, the boy screamed and opened his eyes. The nurses were incredibly shocked as he had been declared clinically dead. Her son jumped up and said, “Mummy, where is the money you gave me to buy a pen?” Her neighbour also testified that he was a witness of the remarkable events that happened on that day and the resurrection power of Jesus Christ, through the Anointing Water.

WHEN YOU GO THROUGH FIRE YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNT
Mrs Chinyere Okpa testified to the protection power of God demonstrated through the Anointing Sticker and Anointing Water. A severe blaze was engulfing the whole street where her shop was located and when she heard the terrifying news, she prayed, in the name of Jesus and ran to her shop. To the amazement of everybody there, the fire stopped just before it had reached her shop. Everything was intact and nothing was scathed. The Anointing Sticker had been placed above the door of the shop. Glory be to God!

EVIL QUEEN MOTHER DETHRONED BY THE KING OF KINGS, JESUS CHRIST

Miss Chinasa Victoria Okorie testified to being delivered from an evil spirit, a queen mother of the marine kingdom, after the prayer of Wise Man Daniel. She recounted in detail her experiences in life and her activities within the marine kingdom. Here is a brief summary of what she said. For the full account, please watch the Rebroadcast of the service on Emmanuel TV.

She started by saying that, as a child, she did not eat, was not happy and always cried. She would rather sleep and play with strange people in her dreams than be awake. Her father was a reverend and took her to many places for deliverance but all to no avail. She explained that, when she entered secondary school, she was crowed as queen of the ocean in the marine kingdom. To her, the spiritual world was just as real, if not more real than the physical. She would talk to the people from her kingdom and see them physically. People would see her talking and yet they did not see who she was talking to.

In the kingdom of darkness, Victoria said that she commanded queens and princesses under her and they would go and do her biddings of destruction. They had power to give wealth – but there were conditions and regulations attached. They should not give their money to charity, to pay tithes and if a family served God, not give them any of the money even if they were suffering. You can drink, smoke, party with the ocean’s money but you cannot use the money to do good things.

She said she could identify the children of God, born again Christians, the lukewarm, the church bench warmers, and those in the marine kingdom. For those truly born again, a bright light would be in them and this would make it impossible for them to be attacked. For lukewarm Christians, the light of God would be there but very dim and could be easily quenched. For the bench warmers, conventional church goers, nothing was there. The bench warmers and lukewarm Christians, lie open to attack.

She explained that many are possessed but do not know it. The marine world is fashionable, beautiful, flashy and propagates such things which easily entice. Some earrings, clothes, makeup, weaveons are  manufactured in the marine kingdom and brought to the world through their agents on earth. Such an item, if bought and not covered with the blood of Jesus Christ by a true Christian, would be a tool for immediate initiation of the user or wearer.

Since her deliverance, she described that she no longer ate, swam or saw that kingdom in her dreams. She advised that we should be content with what we have and not desperate for worldly or flashy things. She stressed the importance of looking to God and not seeking alternatives, stating that anything the devil gives is fake. Only God Almighty can give original blessing, grace and life.

PROPHECY REVEALS A BROKEN HOME

 received a prophecy from Prophet T.B. Joshua that his wife, Cynthia had left his house two major times in the past. He complained that since the inception of his marriage, he had had no peace. His contention was that his wife nagged; she was stubborn, stole money and was so aggressive. She left the house since 16th December 2012. He said he had opened up to 7 shops for her but nothing had come out of it. He had checked her Facebook page and found many pictures of artists, musicians and famous people taking pictures with her. A painful fact emerged when the congregation heard that she was a mother of four children for her husband but had left them for her husband to take care of in all areas for the past 5 months without assisting her husband at all to take care of her children.

Mrs Cynthia presented her own experience citing that her leaving the house was as a result of her husband’s constant beating of her and how nothing she ever did pleased him despite the fact that she loved him so much, according to her.

Prophet T.B. Joshua intervened to say that the greatest help either individual could give each other was deliverance. He said, “Without deliverance, all you do for your partner, you are doing it for another person, not your spouse”. He concluded that the couple were simply in need of deliverance. After deliverance, they could come together with the man of God to ask God’s opinion of the marriage.

34 YEARS OF DRUNKENNESS WIPED AWAY
Honourable Benjamin Ubitogwale came with his wife to testify to the dramatic change in his life since he received a prophecy last week from Prophet T.B. Joshua. The prophet had told him that his home was not settled and then ministered deliverance for him, in Jesus’ name. He explained that he had been an alcoholic for 34 years and this had caused crisis in his home and career. The drunkenness had caused him to beat his wife and children and his wife became frustrated and threatened to divorce him. He was a politician but any time, he was due to be elected to a position, it would not happen because the officials heard he was a drunkard.

Mrs Mary Magdalene Ubitogwale shared her own account of her experiences in the marriage. She said, when he got drunk, he came back very late. He played music so loud and refused to listen when she asked him to turn it down. He would wake the children up and start to talk nonsense. She said she had made up her mind not to continue with the marriage. She explained that his friends would carry him home at times and begin to vomit, urinate and say a lot of rubbish. Due to the alcohol, he had a serious accident after drink-driving; he hit a tree and now has a big scar on his head. He always quarrelled at home and beat her and her children; there was no peace.

He testified that before, he would only stay in a church for a minute before going out to look for a drink. Now, he has not tasted alcohol since the prophecy and deliverance. His wife laughed as she stated, “He is a changed man now. Everything about him is different. He is very calm and peaceful”. Honourable Benjamin Ubitogwale thanked the man of God for the deliverance from the spirit of drunkenness for 34 years. His advice to the whole world was that we should come to God, forsake earthly things and stay focused.

LUCIFER DISGRACED AND CAST OUT

Mrs Regina, a police officer came with her husband to testify of the change Christ’s delivering influence had brought to their family after she was disconnected from the spirit of Lucifer that had tormented her life from a young age. She explained that she came out of the womb with the umbilical cord around her neck when she was given birth to. The nurse who delivered her, told her mother that in their region, it meant she was to be taken to a shrine and the gods were to be appeased for allowing her to be born. Her mother did take her to a shrine for the sacrifices to be made but her mother did not faithfully continue the practise. The result was that the demonic entity already in her life began to manifest. She said that right from her school years, she would see visions and dreams of vast armies, and see herself genderless as their commander. This commanding character emanated to all areas of her life, especially her career where she was arrogant and her marriage where she was feared for her forceful and dominating behaviour.

She described one of her childhood memories of the day she knew that the evil power in her life had started manifesting in making whatever evil she said come to pass. On her way to their family farm with her sisters and cousins, when her sister refused to give her some of her own food, she said that a scorpion would attack her. Her elder cousin beat her for saying such a stupid thing and she retorted with the same pronouncement. As they got to the farm, it did not take five minutes as they started working before both the cousin and sister of Regina cried out that they had been stung by a scorpion.

Anytime she made a command or cursed someone in a moment of anger that thing would happen to the person in a very short amount of time or even instantly.

Regina testified that after her deliverance in The SCOAN through Wise Man John Chi, although she was not conscious of what she was doing, her mother had called her saying that as she was being delivered, that same scorpion she used to summon appeared in her mother’s house and was killed at the same time that she was delivered. Since then, her mind, conduct and attitude has been completely new. Her husband, a soldier, was on hand to testify to the transformation he had seen in his wife since her deliverance and the couple glorified God for His overcoming victory in their lives.

Concluding the time of testimonies, the man of God prophesied to the people, exposing the plans, hidden agendas and tactics of satan in the lives of the congregants. After which, the Wise Men moved through the entire church premises to personally touch and pray for each soul present. The service ended with a powerful time of mass prayer, led by the wise men, as every stubborn unclean spirit still lurking within the congregants was rebuked and commanded out, in the powerful name of Jesus Christ.

In his message on Sunday titled, ‘God’s Spirit’, Prophet T.B. Joshua said, “The challenges before us cannot be withstood without God’s Spirit. If you are truly born again with power, it was the Holy Spirit that convicted you of sin and drew you into a relationship with Jesus.”

PROPHET T.B JOSHUA

After directing the congregation to the Book of Luke 24:49, he explained, “Jesus knew His followers could not fulfill the commission He had given them to take the Gospel to all nations until they were immersed, clothed with power that the Holy Spirit would bring.” He then added, “God’s purpose of sending the Holy Spirit was to empower Jesus’ followers. If you are not tarrying until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power, you are carrying out a dangerous mission.”

He concluded by saying, “When you act on the Word of God, you are acting in unison with God.  You and God are lifting the load together, walking together, facing persecution and trials together. His strength and ability becomes yours.”

RUN THE STRAIGHT RACE:

On Sunday, Wise Man Racine preached an enlightening message about the need to run a straight race in life through God’s good grace. He explained, “The roadmap to your future success is not a bed of roses. Trouble and pain can stop the man without faith. But for a man of faith, the more sensibly he feels the pain, the better improved he becomes in his relationship with God.”

WISE MAN RACINE

Talking about the temptations that can distract one from running the straight trace, he said, “Fleshly desires and spiritual desires are two different opposing masters. A focus on materialism can divert our devotion from God Almighty to the god of wealth.” He reminded the congregation on the importance of staying determined in life, irrespective of the situation they may be facing. “If God gives you a vision and it is challenged by men, do not reduce your vision, stay in the will of God. Every day you must stay true to your purpose in life despite snow and rain.” Wise Man Racine concluded his message by saying, “A resolve to do whatever proper thing it takes separates the weak from the strong… Nothing can keep you on the course like a deep love for Christ.”

By God’s grace, both the Saturday and Sunday services were filled with powerful testimonies from people who had received a life-changing touch from Jesus Christ. Here are just some of the testimonies:

DRUNKENNESS DEFEATED!

Miss Delphine Ubanako had an addiction she couldn’t control. The Cameroonian was addicted to consuming alcohol at an alarming rate. What started as a casual glass of wine after meals soon graduated to drinking hard liquors to the point of ending in a stupor. Miss Ubanako would easily consume several bottles of alcohol on a daily basis including whiskey, wine and other spirits. The lust for liquor resulted in tragic scenarios unfolding in her health, career and marital life. Delphine’s fiancé unceremoniously dumped her when she ended up urinating on the bed with him after drifting to sleep in a drunken state. She would usually arrive at work drunk and thus unable to discharge her duties, leading to her retrenchment on several occasions.

Miss Ubanako, who resides in Equatorial Guinea, had tried to stop on several occasions. She would often make up her mind to fast, praying that the spirit of alcoholism would be broken in her life. However, when the time to break her fast came, she would end up doing so with a bottle of whiskey, a force beyond her will pushing her to do so. Delphine explained that her problem originally began when her late father, who was also a notorious drunkard, fed her with alcohol from the age of nine and watched as she clumsily danced under its intoxicating influence. Realizing that stopping the debilitating addiction was beyond her power, she resolved to secretly come to The SCOAN without informing any of her family members of her plan lest they discourage her. Upon arriving, she was privileged to receive the Anointing Water. A single spray of the Anointing Water signaled the last alcoholic beverage she ever took! According to Delphine, she said that from that day forward, she became alcohol’s greatest enemy, the very sight and smell of it irritating her to the core. She has been free from taking alcohol for over two years now. Glory be to God!

FREE INDEED!

When Mrs Kate Uzor got up to go to work, little did she know that a cunning plan was being hatched to kidnap her and hold her for ransom. The hostage taking was swiftly done. Before she knew it, armed men had surrounded her car, forced her out from the wheels and bundled her into the boot. As the car raced away, she realized her phone was still with her and immediately called her brother, telling him what had happened. Narrating her story, Mrs Uzor explained that after almost suffocating in the car boot for several hours, she was brought out and told a ransom of N20m was being demanded to secure her release. Bound hand and foot and masked, she said she was stowed away in a small room in the middle of a forest area, her captors checking on her every 10 minutes. She was warned that any untoward behaviour would result in a gunshot to the head. Without food and water and forced to urinate on her clothes, Mrs Uzor was in a dire condition.

That night, unbeknown to her, her brother had taken the Anointing Water he received at The SCOAN and ministered it on the picture of his sister on his iPad. It was at that point that the miracle unfolded! Mrs Uzor said she felt a strange sensation throughout her body and a still, soft voice telling her to look at the door of her ‘prison’. At that moment, the door, which she had seen heavily locked, opened by itself! As she looked at her escape route, the voice came again, urging her to run! Rushing out, she began sprinting down the forest track until she eventually found a small church where she was assisted. As her brother ministered the Anointing Water hundreds of miles away, God opened her prison doors and blinded the eyes of her captors to her miraculous escape!  Having never visited The SCOAN, she accompanied her brother to The SCOAN to give this powerful testimony.

BEDWETTING BANISHED!

Mr Pitang Manukibe was born with a terrible stigma. 43 years of his life had been plagued by a shameful affliction that tormented him on a nightly basis. Mr Manukibe was a bedwetter. Describing the severity of the situation, he said he would wake up ‘in a river’ of his own urine. His parents had sought treatment from several medical institutions and witchdoctors but the problem only got worse. The scourge affected him emotionally, shyness and shame overshadowing his resolve to make new relationships. The Togolese man, who is a resident of the USA, explained that even after getting married, the problem persisted. However, his wife encouraged him to believe that the problem had spiritual roots and would one day be over.

Mr Manukibe’s miracle came after a friend introduced him to Emmanuel TV. Whilst watching, he decided to join Prophet T.B. Joshua in prayer as the prayer for viewers was being ministered. That night, a Divine encounter unfolded. Mr Manukibe explained that he saw himself in The SCOAN arena in his dream with Prophet T.B. Joshua and the wise men. There, Prophet T.B. Joshua asked whether the wise men had prayed for him, to which they replied in the affirmative. That morning, he woke up to behold a wondrous sight. His bed was dry! Since 2010, Pitang has enjoyed a life free from bedwetting! In addition, after receiving the Anointing Water, he received a powerful breakthrough in his career, including getting his permanent residence approval that had been denied a number of times hitherto.

EMMANUEL TV ENDS 20 YEAR SMOKING ADDICTION

Marijuana and cigarettes were part of the fabric of Mrs Mercy Osazuwa’s life. She had been a chain smoker for close to 20 years, usually taking over a packet of cigarettes a day and more when stressed. The Nigerian who is a resident in Italy had been warned severally to stop the habit but the urge to continue overwhelmed any of the negative side effects and pleas from concerned friends and family. Aside from smoking, Mrs Osazuwa was also a regular visitor at Italian night clubs and parties, enjoying the wild and carefree lifestyle induced by the substances she was smoking. In an attempt to camouflage the habit, she would try to erase the smell of cigarettes in her house by spraying expensive perfume. However, it never crossed her mind that she would one day quit smoking, believing that she would smoke until the day of her death.

It was one day when Emmanuel TV was on in her house that a mighty miracle occurred for Mrs Osazuwa. Staying in the kitchen while Emmanuel TV was playing in her sitting room, she got out a cigarette, lit it and began smoking as usual. Suddenly, she heard Prophet T.B. Joshua praying, admonishing viewers that God would touch them anywhere they were, even in the kitchen! Shocked, she dropped the cigarette and went into the room where Emmanuel TV was playing. Deciding to join the prayer, she placed her hands on the screen of Emmanuel TV. Her hand began to tremble! Suddenly, she felt something leave her body. To her surprise, every desire for smoking disappeared from that point forward. Looking at the packet of cigarettes she had just smoked from, she felt disgusted and immediately throw them away. That was how Mrs Osazuwa miraculously stopped smoking! She advised all smokers to realize that quitting is not a matter of willpower but required God’s intervention. She further encouraged viewers of Emmanuel TV that God could touch them anywhere they were all over the world through the prayers of Prophet T.B. Joshua, as long as they joined him in faith!

ESTHER: WELCOME TO THE WORLD!

Mrs Peace Madojiemu came to The SCOAN with the problem of an overdue pregnancy, the medical doctors stating that an operation was necessary for her to be able to deliver her baby. Being a secret viewer of Emmanuel TV, despite the skepticism of the church she worshipped at towards The SCOAN, she decided to come to The SCOAN upon receiving the doctor’s report. A dream she had the previous Thursday further strengthened her resolve as she heard a voice telling her to come to The SCOAN.

Arriving this morning, the moment she entered the environment at the arena of liberty, she felt movement in her body and knew that a Divine operation was already unfolding. As Wise Man Christopher came to pray for her, he first gave the prophetic message he had received from Prophet T.B. Joshua that she would deliver a baby girl whose name should be Esther. Moments after Wise Man Christopher stretched forth his hands in prayer, she safely delivered her baby girl without any complication! We thank Jesus Christ for baby Esther’s miraculous entrance to the world!

BARRENNESS AND BLEEDING GONE!

Mrs Felicity Augustine came all the way from Taraba, Nigeria to The SCOAN after 14 long years of barrenness. Aside from this, Felicity was also heavily bleeding. Doctors confirmed that medically speaking, ovarian cysts and fibroids were behind her fruitlessness.

However, when coming to The SCOAN, she was privileged to receive the Anointing Water, which she ministered immediately while in the church. At that very moment, her bleeding of many months miraculously stopped! Several months later, Mrs Augustine was confirmed to be pregnant. Her tears of barrenness had been wiped away by the precious blood of Jesus Christ! Standing in The SCOAN, heavily pregnant, Felicity advised the congregation to have faith in God, stressing that nothing is impossible to His power.

NO WEAPON FASHIONED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER

Mr Emmanuel Ojukwu made it a duty to always minister the Anointing Water to himself every morning before embarking on any journey. However, it was only when he encountred a group of armed robbers that he realized the value of the Anointing Water he had been daily ministering. The bandits commanded him to get out of his car and submit all of his possessions. He complied without question as they held him at gunpoint. When one of the robbers reached to collect money stuffed into his shirt pocket, he recoiled suddenly as if shocked by an electric wire. It was then Mr Ojukwu remembered that the Anointing Water was in that very pocket!

Seeing the reaction of the armed robber, he quickly brought out the Anointing Water and sprayed it in the air.  As commotion reigned within the criminals, Mr Ojukwu turned to run away from the scene. Suddenly, he heard a gunshot and an immediate sensation on his back. The gunmen had shot him from close range, directly into his lower back. However, to the glory of God and the shock of his assailants, the bullet didn’t penetrate into his flesh! Immediately, the armed robbers ran away! Truly, when God is with you, no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper! Several hours later, police called Mr Ojukwu that all his stolen items had been returned and were available for him to pick up from the station. Glory be to God!

DELIVERANCE OF A ‘HEART-BREAKER’ AND CHRONIC ALCOHOLIC

Mrs Victoria came to The SCOAN with a spirit of drunkenness and smoking as well as a spiritual husband that pushed her to disappoint men. From a young age, the Motswana lady began clubbing and enjoyed flirting with men, especially those who were married. After getting entangled with married men and enjoying the financial benefits, the man in question would start quarreling with his wife, sometimes leading to a point of separation. She described herself as a ‘heart-breaker’ who would leave any man once he had fallen in love with her. The men would be sad and disappointed and she would be happy seeing them in such condition due to the spiritual husband that visited her nightly to sleep with her in her dreams.

Victoria also drank alcohol excessively, sometimes over 20 bottles of hard liquor in a single day. She would come home from night clubs bruised and drunk, not knowing what happened to her or how she made it home as she was too intoxicated by the alcohol. Victoria further explained how she used to drown her sorrows through watching television and films, explaining that the spiritual husband would appear in the form of her favourite actor or celebrity to sleep with her in the dream.

After one night of heavy drinking she was flicking through channels on TV and stumbled on to Emmanuel TV. She began watching other people’s deliverances and knew that she needed to come for her own deliverance as her problem had spiraled out of control. Upon coming to the church she encountered Wise Man Christopher. The spiritual husband manifested in her and confessed to being the cause of all her woes. She was delivered and the desire to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and look for men has completely disappeared – all glory be to God!

KINGDOM OF DARKNESS EXPOSED!

The experience of Miss Sibongile, a 15 year old from South Africa, is shocking to say the least. It reminds us of the reality of the spiritual world and how serious we need to remain in our relationship with God. An innocent child, Sibongile was deprived of motherly love and care after her mother died in her tender years, leading to a life of isolation, loneliness and depression. These were the platforms satan utilized as an avenue to enter her life. Aged 12, Sibongile had a dream of a lady who claimed to be her spiritual mother, instructing her to follow.

She was led into a world underneath the water, a world bent on the destruction of human beings – the marine world. There, she was initiated, crowned a princess and endued with powers to enable her to seduce men and bring their sperm to the marine kingdom – the assignment she was sent to accomplish. From that day forward, Sibongile’s life dramatically changed. The powers in her eyes, breasts and legs enabled her to seduce any man she desired, irrespective of their age or status in society. After sleeping with them, she would physically collect their sperm and thereafter take it to the marine kingdom in her dreams and submit it to her ‘spiritual mother’. Such men’s lives would take a steady downward spiral – their marriages would crumble, finances dwindle and careers meet stagnation. 

Sibongile explained that night clubs and parties were the easiest way of meeting and seducing such men, adding that she would take excessive alcohol, sometimes almost 50 bottles of alcohol in a single outing! She also smoked cigarettes and hard drugs such as cocaine and marijuana, all of which fuelled her wild and reckless lifestyle. She would usually sleep with up to four men in a day, lying to them that she was 25 years old just to deceive them into bed with her. Sibongile also was used to initiate many of her age-mates who envied her wild lifestyle. After introducing them to alcohol, she would report to her ‘spiritual mother’ that they were candidates for initiation. The next day, she would see her friends in the same marine kingdom, being given similar assignments of destruction. During this period, Sibongile was suspended from school three times as she would usually run away from both her school and house, sometimes for up to two weeks, staying in various men’s houses.

Her coming to The SCOAN was truly a Divine arrangement. Sibongile explained that she was told she would be flying to Nigeria for a visit to her aunt but no mention of The SCOAN was made to her. Once she arrived in Nigeria, her aunt met her at the airport and took her straight to The SCOAN, knowing that her case was beyond human control and required spiritual intervention. At The SCOAN, Sibongile received a mighty deliverance from Wise Man Christopher, the demons exposed and expelled in her life by the superior power of Jesus Christ. After her deliverance, she testified that all connections to the marine kingdom in her dreams have been severed and peace is now reigning in her heart. She further explained that all desire for alcohol, drugs and men have left her! Sibongile advised young people like herself to be serious with God as she said the youth were satan’s main targets. She further admonished men to stay true to their wives and not chase after other women as that would simply serve as a catalyst for their destruction. 

A PROPHET SHALL SAY THAT WHICH HE SHALL LIVE TO SEE HAPPEN!

Mr Mike Horsfall and sister came to The SCOAN for the first time on March 16^th 2013. Facing numerous health challenges and an unfruitful search for breakthrough after 20 years of work in his company, he was shocked when Prophet T.B. Joshua walked up to him and prophesied that a document was on his table and he would return the following month on April 21^st 2013 for a testimony. At that time, there was no document on his table he was aware of and there was no expectation that one would come.

Upon returning to his home a couple of weeks later, Mr Horsfall was shocked to see a letter on his table from his workplace, nominating him for an overseas course in United Kingdom with all expenses paid. He had no premonition whatsoever that such a letter would come and was shocked as it was a type of breakthrough he had been pursuing for over two decades without success. He decided to return to The SCOAN for testimony, realizing that the date of the testimony coincided exactly with the date Prophet T.B. Joshua had publicly and specifically prophesied last month – Sunday 21^st April 2013! Indeed, no Word from God is void of fulfillment for God backs up each Word to perform it. 

INTERNATIONAL PROPHECY: BOSTON MARATHON EXPLOSIONS

The video clip of Prophet T.B. Joshua’s prophecy concerning the nation of America and the tragic event that occurred last week during the Boston marathon was replayed to the congregation. Prophet T.B. Joshua specifically instructed people to pray on Monday for USA, stating that he saw flames and something evil roaming about in the city and stressing that the issue of homeland security should be looked into. He further said that large gatherings should be avoided or well-secured. The prophecy was tragically confirmed when two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston marathon, killing three and injuring hundreds more in a shocking terrorist attack.

After playing the clip, Prophet T.B. Joshua reminded the congregation that we are living in perilous times. He explained that the more leaders opened their hearts to the Word of God, the clearer his prophetic messages would be.

In his message titled, “Love Is The Greatest”, the prophet referred to Matthew 5:44 as his proof text. “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” He said that the challenges we are having can be likened to love and hatred and that he had never seen where hatred overcomes love. When you love, you overcome. Love is the most powerful weapon. Love does not allow us to kill our brothers, neighbours or even our enemies. Love becomes our protection against the hatred of the adversary. Hatred is powerless in the face of love’s power and armour. Love is the greatest. Let us act love; let us do love. We are sons and daughters of love; we are love’s products. Love brought us into being.

He stated that if you want to be a Christian, be a Christian. The challenges before us however is that no one can overcome without the Spirit of God. Who is a Christian? A Christian is someone who is lifting the load with God, walking with the Lord, facing persecution and trials with the Lord, in unison with God. If you want to be a Christian, be a Christian and stop deceiving yourself because the challenges before you will consume you. If God is joining you to carry something, is lifting the load, when you are facing persecution, God is facing it with you. The prophet’s reference to 1 Corinthians 12:3 seemed to sum up the key to overcome: No one can be a Christian without the Spirit of God. “Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:3).

WE HAVE A DEFENDER
Wise Man Christopher similarly encouraged people on the comfort they would find in God in his message titled, ‘We Have A Defender’. He said “We, people of God – men and women of faith, do not need to defend ourselves because we have a Defender. Every man or woman of faith is led by an indwelling spirit of grace, which is greater than he who dwells in the world. The God who created us now dwells within us in the living Word. Ask Prophet Elisha in 2 Kings 6:15-17 and he would tell you that our Defender is with us in the living Word. Whenever we are going through ordinary circumstances in life as Christians, we should always remember that we have no other refuge than this command of Jesus: ‘Only believe’. Whenever we truly believe, our hearts will be at rest; we will be connected to the Defender. We need no more than to open the eyes of our faith. The opening of our eyes of faith is the silencing of our fears.
Many who had experienced God’s grace and favour in their lives came forward to share their testimonies which left an indelible picture in the minds of many who were looking forward to receive their own miracle from the Great Provider, Jesus Christ.

PASTOR DELIVERED FROM AN EVIL SPIRIT MANIFESTED AS A CAT

Pastor John Joseph Ekoja’s forefathers served different types of gods, the effects of which rippled into his own life with a very strange demonic encounter. Every night, a cat would appear to him in his dreams to fight and chase him. His brother who experienced the same nightmares had died suddenly and the whole family found themselves under a curse of limitation nobody seemed able to rise above. While working in the ministry, he had a severe accident and fractured his tibia and fibula. After undergoing an operation to insert metal within his leg, Pastor Ekoja’s problems only seemed to persist as anyone who promised to assist him ended up withdrawing at the last moment. His mother advised him to visit The SCOAN for prayer but he was discouraged by people around him who told him the work of God at The SCOAN was not genuine.

A friend in Cotonou, Benin Republic testified to him that after coming to The SCOAN, he experienced a mighty business breakthrough. Finally convinced, he followed his friend to The SCOAN and was among those who received the new Anointing Sticker given out during the New Years Eve service. He put the Anointing Sticker under his pillow and miraculously stopped seeing the cat in his dreams! Confident in God’s power, he then put the Anointing Sticker on the door of his house. Sometime later, the demonic cat reappeared in his dream to attack him but Pastor Ejoka saw light emanate from the Anointing Sticker on his door and paralyse the cat. This physically manifested the following week when Pastor Ekoja awoke to discover the very same cat that had tormented his dreams for over 30 years lying alive but paralyzed below the Anointing Sticker on his door. He immediately decided to rush down to The SCOAN with the cat to give his testimony. Prophet T.B. Joshua said that his entire family had been set free through the deliverance and counselled him that the cat needed to undergo deliverance, stressing that it was the spirit within the cat that was operating, not the cat itself. After the deliverance, Prophet T.B. Joshua said the cat would live normally as a pet.

ADDICTION TO PORNOGRAPHY CAN BE BROKEN!
Pastor Gladwin Solomon from South Africa came to The SCOAN with his wife. He had suffered from the spirits of lust and smoking from a young age and watched pornography through the internet and masturbated in secret. He said he made the decision to serve the Lord at the age of 18 but faced a lot of challenges, rendering him unable to do so. After getting married, the same problems of lust and pornography continued. He went to Bible College, believing that his spiritual life would grow but after spending four years there, the desire to watch pornography became even stronger. He said that the college had a lot of internet access points where they would watch pornography and he met other students there who were addicted to the same vice. It became severe to the point that it affected his affection with his wife. After leaving Bible College, he spent a lot more time masturbating, even at his office. One day his wife found out and he was very ashamed. She was not comfortable seeing him around the internet. He went on social networks, chatting with women to ease his urge. After starting his own ministry, he looked for a potential mentor but was too ashamed to tell them the problem and even when he did, they could not help him. His spiritual life deteriorated, including his prayer life. Reading the Word of God was overtaken by the spirit of lust. He said it was the most difficult thing to stand in front of people and preach. He would prepare a good message that people would think, “Wow what a good preacher” but behind it was a pain in his heart because of the deception. That thing was always at the back of his mind.

As the wise man was praying for him during his deliverance at The SCOAN, he felt something leave him and then immediately felt light. The urge to watch pornography, masturbate and lust after other women is gone! The urge to smoke has also gone. He advised, “Pastors wherever you are, come out. We know our problem but we are not coming out. The lesser is blessed by the greater. There are things we are not able to do that greater men of God can help us to do. Many times, men of God come looking for impartation. How can we have impartation when we are bound in sin? There is hope for you at The SCOAN”. He added that there needs to be an openness and willingness. His wife, who was also initiated into the same vice of pornography through the internet, received her deliverance and advised, “Deliverance is a willing thing. It is high time we are willing. Be willing to change and stop pretending. If you say you are a Christian, be a Christian and stand for what you believe”.

Speaking of pornographic sites, Pastor Solomon said, “It’s not innocent; the more you get into it, the more the picture grows inside of you. Avoid pornographic sites”.

THE SHAME OF BEDWETTING
Eseigbe Ejemen, a 16 year old girl, recounted her terrible ordeal as a ‘bedwetter’. As she put it candidly, “I would bedwet everywhere”.  As a teenager, she suffered the shame and disgrace of this ‘little talked about’ problem which is more common among teenagers and adults than one would think. Eseigbe went to a boarding school where she found it impossible to hide the humiliating problem. As she would sleep on the top bunk of the bed at the quarters, the person on the lower bunk would become wet with urine after her consistent episodes of bedwetting. She was nicknamed ‘Bedwetter’ and was sent out of the school as the condition refused to halt. The humiliation she received from classmates led to her lie  about her age, stating that she was only 13, presuming that she could win the sympathy of others if they believed she was a young girl. Her mum who had become burdened with her daughter’s problem made her way down to The SCOAN and received The Anointing Water and the Anointing Sticker. She would give her daughter the Anointing Sticker to place in her pants and also ministered the Anointing Water on her. Incredibly, after three days, the problem of bedwetting came to an end! It was more than she could dream of. The garment of shame had been lifted! After ministering the Anointing Water, she saw Prophet T.B. Joshua in her dreams with two bed covers, one wet, the other dry. He removed the wet bed cover and replaced it with the dry one – a confirmation that she had been delivered completely and effectually from bedwetting!

HE PROPHESIED HOW & WHEN I WOULD DELIVER
Mrs Queen suffered from the problem of barrenness for 12 years. After watching Emmanuel TV and being encouraged by the testimonies she saw, she came to The SCOAN and received a bottle of the Anointing Water. She went back home and ministered it in faith. She met with her husband and soon after, conceived. During her pregnancy, a scan revealed that the baby was in a breech position and doctors booked her for an operation. She rejected the idea of an operation and instead, came to The SCOAN for God’s intervention. In the course of the service at The SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua came to her and gave her a prophetic message that she should not worry, that she would deliver her baby safely without an operation. If that was not enough to console her, he also specified the days she would deliver her baby, stating that she would deliver it on a Thursday/ Friday. She returned home with peace in her heart and to her amazement, she delivered her baby without an operation. The labour pain started on Thursday and she delivered on Friday, as prophesied by the man of God. The icing on the cake was that she delivered a double blessing of twins!

MY SON WAS BLIND BUT NOW HE CAN SEE
One distressing day, school authorities called Mrs Meg Abagu to come and take her son, Daniel out of school, stating that he could not see. For seven days, the young man remained blind and specialists determined that the cause was cataracts which had covered his eyes. An operation was recommended. While he was in his school hostel, his mum Mrs Meg Abagu who was far away, asked him to pray along with her through Emmanuel TV. She placed her fingers on her eyes as a point of contact and asked him to do the same where he was. As Prophet TB Joshua prayed on Emmanuel TV, she prayed along with him and asked her son, Daniel on the phone to say, ‘Amen’. She said that after the prayer, that same day, her son told her that he started to see stars and shortly afterwards, fully regained his sight! The pain he was experiencing in his eyes also disappeared after praying along with Prophet TB Joshua on Emmanuel TV. He was able to return to school and later sat for his exams, earning a spectacular result!

As Mrs Abagu said, “I went to get the report of God through Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV and the report of God opened the eyes of my son”.

YOUNG MAN DELIVERED FROM THE LEFT HAND SERVANT OF SATAN

A clip was replayed in the service of an astonishing deliverance that had occurred the previous week. An evil spirit claiming to be a high ranking demon and ancient beast who had existed even before the creation of the world was exposed during an electrifying encounter with Wise Man Daniel. The demon touted itself as being seated at the left hand of satan, stating that it had last entered the earth over two millennia ago when it was defeated by Jesus Christ. It had destroyed the bright destiny of the young man it had possessed since birth and its intention was to warn Prophet T.B. Joshua and the Wise Men, whose activities were disturbing the kingdom of darkness. The demon exposed diverse satanic strategies and tactics through which it had ensnared so many people into a hellish existence and eternity before the final encounter ensued with the Wise Man. Shouting in a strange language, the demon grabbed onto Wise Man Daniel’s arm, screaming for his master in hell to send more power as the Wise Man commanded the demon to leave in the name and blood of Jesus Christ. At long last, the demon was defeated and the young man declared free!

Coming forward, Mr Alem Njoku accompanied by his parents, a sibling and close friend, shared a traumatizing experience that can only be described as hellish. The young Cameroonian explained that he hailed from a royal background, his father being the chief of a community that traditionally worshipped the skulls of their ancestors. It was this ancestral worship that provided the platform for the ancient demon to enter the young man’s life.

With a childhood plagued by strange demonic dreams, unusual bouts of sickness leading to an operation to remove his spleen, an uncontrollable urge for masturbation, a lonely existence of isolation and scholastic setback despite academic brilliance, Alem knew that something was wrong somewhere. However, it was only four months prior, in December 2012 that the demon behind Alem’s troubles revealed itself in the most alarming form. Lying on his bed, he physically saw a giant beast appear from his wall, trumpeting that it was sent from hell to destroy his life, stating that it was the ‘god’ he must serve and worship.

From that day forward, the 23 year olds life became enslaved completely to this ancient demon that would appear physically to him over 20 times every single day. Whenever Alem slept or just closed his eyes, he would find his spirit in the fiery depths of hell, seeing its horrors and the unimaginable torment being meted out to those condemned to live there. He also saw himself as a commander of an immeasurable amount of demonic soldiers, leading them in the battle against Christians and angelic forces. He said the demon invested powers within his hands and legs and forced him to crawl on his knees for several hours whenever he dared disobey any of his instructions. Whilst in hell, he saw his name being cancelled on a sheet of paper, signifying his spiritual death and the beginning of the satanic assignment they planned for him. As the spiritual attacks intensified, so did Alem’s desire to visit The SCOAN for deliverance, explaining that he saw the disastrous effect the prophet’s prayers had on satan’s kingdom as it erupted like lightning bolts within hell.

At this point, the demon who said it was ‘Dakunba’, declared that it would accompany him to The SCOAN as it had ‘a warning’ to give to Prophet T.B. Joshua. The day before the Saturday service where Alem received his deliverance, he explained that hundreds of other demons entered his body to reinforce him with powers for the ‘battle’ ahead. As Wise Man Daniel prayed for him, Alem described how he remarkably witnessed the encounter from the confines of hell where his spirit was chained. He said the ancient language spoken by the demon was a battle cry to draw all other demons in the area to come and fight. At a point where the demon grew weak, he said he saw satan stand up from his throne to send part of himself to The SCOAN where his shadow enveloped the street opposite The SCOAN, sending more powers to his agent in an attempt to defeat Wise Man Daniel. However, the demon was finally conquered by the superior power of Jesus Christ, and as the demon roared in anger, Alem saw his spirit suddenly lifted from the pits of hell and reenter his body on the floor of The SCOAN. He had been rescued by the power of the Holy Spirit!

After his deliverance, the young man said he had slept peacefully for the first time in his life and had no more encounters with the demonic beings that had possessed him since birth. Embittered, he even disclosed that the spirit had pushed him to sleep with hens, as well as causing him to be a bedwetter. Prophet T.B. Joshua told him to call the name of Jesus Christ which he said would be his refuge from this day forward. As Alem did so, his body began shaking and he fell to the ground under the power in Christ’s name. What a remarkable transformation! We thank Jesus Christ for this powerful deliverance which serves as an eye-opener to the reality of the spiritual world and the seriousness with which we must view our spiritual walk and warfare.

IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS
As we reflect on all that Jesus Christ wrought this weekend, we recall the words of Wise Man Daniel earlier on as he  hit home the point that, “IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS”.  In his message, he referred us to John 16:33, which says that though there are reasons to be troubled, there is a greater reason not to be. This statement is meant for peculiar people who find and attend to God’s Word, for God’s Word is Spirit and life. He said that God’s Word is life to those who find them and health to all flesh – that is, the flesh of those who find and attend to God’s Word in simple faith.

We leave you here in God’s Word and pray to meet you here in God’s Word, in Jesus’ name.
