ONLY BELIEVE

 

T.B. JOSHUA

Prophet T.B. Joshua encouraged viewers worldwide this weekend when he stated that we must be awake to the fact of what Jesus said in Mark 5:36, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe’. If you can believe, the worry and anxiety vanishes. Some human plan or your mind may come between you and God’s Word but rest upon what God says, ‘If you can believe’. The kind of rest I am talking about is real, genuine, natural. It is not a pretentious calm, unnatural self restraint, acting as if nothing has happened. If our hearts are uneasy and restless, if we are afraid of this and that, this shows we have not yet believed. We must believe and rest unconditionally and absolutely upon the Word of God. Take note – faith does not rest in itself; God is the place where faith rests. This is our rest.

Prophet T.B. Joshua continued by stating, “As for me and my house, I have no other refuge than this command of Jesus, ‘Only believe’ ”. With these words ringing in their hearts, the congregation was energised in their faith and listened to testimonies of those who received the end to their worry and anxiety through the medium of the Anointing Water.

INJURED SPINAL CORD RESTORED

MARY NANYANGWE [ SPINAL CORD ]

 Mary Nanyangwe had been involved in an accident on her way from her home in Zambia to  Botswana and had experienced a terrible spinal cord injury and fracture in her knee. The doctors in Botswana gave her a large waist corset and a walker to protect her spinal cord. She was bedridden and could not turn her back or neck.  The doctors booked her for an operation, telling her that the operation may leave her paralysed for life. If not, she would spend 2 years in the hospital before she would be able to walk. A nurse found her crying one day and connected Emmanuel TV in the hospital room for her to watch. She began watching and saw the Anointing Water. The nurse then brought her the Anointing Water and she ministered it the day before she was to go for the operation. In the morning, the doctor called and told her that the operation had been rescheduled. She rejoiced and continued to minister the Anointing Water. Before the operation, they redid her x-rays. The doctors had wanted to take T11 bone and put in a plate. The result of the x-ray showed that the bone of T11 started coming out all by itself. They were amazed and cancelled the operation!
That night, she dreamt that Prophet T.B. Joshua, standing on the altar, was holding three plates. He showed her the one the doctors wanted to fix and said, “This is what the doctors want to operate on but God said I should do the operation myself”.  When she woke up, she was immediately able to stand up, bend and walk! Not only was her spinal cord healed but her knee was also restored! Everything that had been damaged was restored, in Jesus’ name through the medium of the Anointing Water and a woman, once paralysed on a hospital bed, walked and moved freely in front of the congregation, encouraging all in their faith for a miracle!

HEALING IS JUST LIKE BREATING – HEALED OF 10 YEARS OF SLEEP APNEA

AGYEI BOATENG [SLEEP APNEA]

 Agyei Boateng, a businessman from Ghana came with the problem of sleep apnea which he had suffered from for 10 years. He used a breathing machine every night and the doctors told him he must use it for the rest of his life. If he did not use it, he would stop breathing in the night. He went to many different hospitals around the world for a solution but the only solution was the breathing machine. His daughter introduced him to Emmanuel TV where they saw the power of God in action. He then accompanied his daughter to The SCOAN where he was arranged in the prayer line. Prophet T.B. Joshua met them in the prayer line and gave his daughter the Anointing Water to spray on her father. The prophet then gave the Anointing Water to him to spray on himself. As he sprayed it, he received his healing. Instantly, he removed the breathing machine and breathed freely. That night, he slept peacefully and deeply for the first time in 10 years without the machine!

APPOINTED TO ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF PUBLIC AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
Dr Wilson Nyako Tamfuh, for three years had written and published articles nationally and internationally. He fulfilled all requirements to become associate professor.

DR WILSON NYAKO TAMFUH [ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ]

 He applied but was denied in 2010. In 2011, he applied again but was denied. In 2012, he came to The SCOAN and received the Anointing Water. He immediately sprayed the Anointing Water on his application documents in the name of Jesus Christ. The moment he returned to Cameroon, he received a message that the third promotion was taking place. A panel then interviewed him and told him he was fully qualified and they would appoint him as an associate professor in the College of Law. He was given a large office and a three bedroom house. Showing his appointment letter and ID Card, he appreciated God for His breakthrough power in the Anointing Water.

HUSBAND RESCUED FROM A MOTOR ACCIDENT

SIBONGILE KHUBISA [CAR ACCIDENT]

 Mrs Sibongile Khubisa, a South African married to a professor of education in South Africa, received the Anointing Water from someone who had visited The SCOAN in Nigeria. As she woke up one faithful morning, she was inspired to pray over her husband’s vehicle using the Anointing Water. Later that day, her husband drove the same vehicle to work. Three hours after her husband left home, she received a call that there had been a ghastly motor accident and her husband had been killed. Trusting in the power of God in the Anointing Water which she had sprayed over his vehicle, she confessed God’s protection over her husband’s life. In faith, she called her husband’s phone. After the first ring, the call was answered and to her great relief, she heard her husband’s voice! He told her that there had indeed been a serious accident but by the grace of God, he was perfectly okay and there was no injury sustained from the accident. To God be the glory!

FARMING FAMINE ENDED AS ANOINTING WATER BRINGS ABOUT A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST
A viewer of Emmanuel TV from Benue, Nigeria was Mr Joshua Kanyitor, a farmer of yams and groundnuts who was suffering from failure in farming for 5 years as his crops constantly perished. He came to The SCOAN and received the Anointing Water.

Mr Joshua Kanyitor

He returned to his farm and washed his seeds in the Anointing Water before planting them. That harvest season, all of the seeds developed into beautiful, large-sized yams and he harvested 1,800 tubers of yam. He reminded all of Prophet T.B. Joshua’s “Prophecies For Individuals For 2013”, in which he prophesied that 2013 would bring a boom for those involved in agricultural and foodstuff businesses. Let us thank God for His Word and His breakthrough in our lives!

AN ASTONISHING APPOINTMENT

TRINIDAD ROBERT

Trinidad Robert was working as an English and Spanish translator but had been jobless for 2 years. She was also pregnant during that period and life was very hard for her. Her sister introduced her to Emmanuel TV and invited her to watch with her. When Prophet T.B. Joshua began the viewer’s prayer, she prayed along and touched the screen of the TV. She suddenly felt vibrations all over her body. The following morning, she received a phone call from a subcontractor at the American Embassy that she should come to the embassy for an interview. She was worried about her appearance because she was nine months pregnant and would be interviewing with smart, well-dressed ladies. After the interviews, they were all leaving the embassy together. As she walked out with the smart-looking ladies, she received a phone call that she should quickly come back inside the embassy. As she entered, they congratulated her and told her that she had the job! She started work the next day and after working for only 6 days, the embassy told her they were sending her to Spain to deliver her baby, at their own expense. She spent one month in Madrid, delivered her baby and returned to the job they kept for her while she was gone. After some months of work, she was able to build a five bedroom house for her and her child in Equatorial Guinea. She testified that this was a major miracle in her life as previously, she was living in a one-room stick house. She also began construction on a house in Nigeria and showed photos of her two houses and the car she owns in Nigeria.

ADDICTION TO 10 YEARS OF ALCOHOLISM BROKEN DURING VIEWER’S PRAYER WITH PROPHET T.B. JOSHUA

ADDICTION TO 10 YEARS OF ALCOHOLISM BROKEN

A visitor to The SCOAN from Malawi was addicted to drinking alcohol for 10 years. She could drink up to 24 bottles of alcohol a day. She began watching Emmanuel TV and one day, decided to join Prophet T.B. Joshua in prayer through the screen of Emmanuel TV. She placed her hand on the screen during the prayer and suddenly began to vomit. Later that day, she tried to drink a bottle of alcohol. She was no longer able to stand the smell or taste and found herself vomiting again. Since that day, she has not had any drink of alcohol. The prayer she joined with Prophet T.B. Joshua took place four years ago and she has been free for that entire period of time!

DELIVERED OF ADDICTION TO EATING SOAP AND CANDLES FOR SEVEN YEARS

ADDICTION TO EATING SOAP AND CANDLES

A man addicted to eating soap and candles for seven years was also delivered in Jesus’ name by prayer from one of the wise men. According to him, he preferred eating these items to normal food.

ADDICTION TO EATING SOAP AND CANDLES

As one of the wise men prayed for him, the evil spirit behind the addiction began to manifest and was cast out of his life in that powerful name of Jesus Christ. After the prayer, the wise man asked him to taste the candles and soap, as he did before. Upon tasting the soap, he spat it out and said it was meant for washing clothes, not eating. Upon taking candle in his hands and putting it to his mouth, he explained that he could not eat it as it was meant for bringing light to a dark place, not for consuming. Glory be to God, another captive of satan has been set free!

DELIVERED OF ADDICTION TO EATING MOULDED CEMENT BLOCKS

CEMENT BLOCKS ADDICTION

We witnessed the deliverance of a lady who was addicted to eating moulded cement blocks. This addiction caused her the spirit of anger. Anytime she was angry, the evil spirit would speak to her heart to destroy things. There was even a time the evil spirit drove her to take a knife and attempt to stab her brother. Her mother grabbed the knife from her and her plan was destroyed. Full of anger, she heard the evil spirit again speak to her to eat another portion of the moulded cement block to calm her down. This was how her mother discovered that she was addicted to eating moulded cement blocks.

CEMENT BLOCKS ADDICTION

As one of the wise men prayed for her, the chain that satan had used to connect her to himself was broken, in Jesus’ name. After deliverance, she attempted to eat moulded cement blocks but she immediately spat it out, stating that it was bitter and hurt her teeth. To God be the glory; she is delivered!
“I SLAPPED THE GROUND AND A GUN APPEARED” – DELIVERANCE TESTIMONY
Fourteen year old Justin had led the life of a top pupil, always working hard to stay at the top of his class until the age of eleven when he was initiated into a secret cult in his school. He hungered for more evil powers which led him to many witch doctors who made several charms for him.

JUSTIN

They also made incisions in his body where some of the diabolic powers were implanted. Justin Pius explained some of the charms inserted into him would allow him to slap a person and the person would not be able to get up, cause people to start eating grass until he used the charm in his foot to release them, allow him to hit someone and cause that area of their body to be torn open and become an open sore like cancer, to make demands for money or any other thing that would be granted and to be protected from bullets and blades. If he wore an occult ring, drew a gun on the floor and hit the drawing, a gun would physically appear and he would use it with his gang. He began robbing fellow students of their phones and valuables and then sold them in order to be able to buy cigarettes and alcohol. He was also fighting with his teachers and had begun to prepare charms for his fellow classmates and was looking forward to becoming a witch doctor.
When he came with his family to The SCOAN, Wise Man Harry was used by God to arrest and deliver the evil spirit out of the young man’s life in the name of Jesus Christ. The evil spirit confessed all its evil deeds and plans in Justin’s life and was then cast out in the name of Jesus Christ. Justin came out to testify with his family that the evil thoughts had left him since the deliverance and his desire now was not for charms or evil power but for a relationship with Jesus and a new pursuit of his educational career. Truly, Jesus Christ receives repentant souls. The worst of sins can be forgiven!

OBEY HIS INSTRUCTIONS – WISE MAN JOHN CHI

WISEMAN JOHNCHI

The power of God demonstrated throughout the services this weekend prompted all who witnessed them to lay their souls under God’s influences and operations, taking the best course to secure themselves and, as Wise Man John Chi admonished the congregation in his message on Palm Sunday, to “OBEY HIS INSTRUCTIONS”. In Matthew 21:1-3, Jesus did not send His disciples to look around for a donkey. The Bible says He sent His disciples to a particular one that was tied at a specific place. This was an instruction in righteousness, an instruction in power, an instruction in confidence and the disciples obeyed. Obeying God at first seems hard until we come to see that all He asks is for our good and makes life full and free. The way of obedience is the way of a bright future. Obedience is the only proof of our faith in Him.

FAITH COMES THROUGH THE WORD

The Saturday and Sunday Live services on Emmanuel TV were as exciting to the viewers worldwide as they were for the congregation thronging the seats of The SCOAN Headquarters. Starting with a dynamic prayer line service, the five Wise Men went forth cloaked in the light of God’s purity and the fire of His Holiness to dispel every shade of darkness in the life of the congregation. Whether the darkness appeared in the form of sickness, disease, demonic oppression, poverty, setback, limitation and failure, when the light of God came on the scene, darkness had no hiding place. Just as it was during the earthly ministry of our Lord, Jesus Christ, everyone who received a touch from the Wise Men received a touch from Heaven with the anointing to break every yoke.

THE ROAD TO YOUR DIVINE DESTINY

Wise Man Harry preached an encouraging sermon titled: The Road To Your Divine Destiny In which he exhorted the listeners to look unto Jesus Christ in times of testing to see them through their dark moments into the bright futures set before them in Christ Jesus. He said, “The road to your divine destiny is not a bed of roses. There will be trials, temptations and challenges. Joseph believed his dream. To protect our dreams, we must stop the language or the vocabulary of the victim. Before Joseph got to the position of honour, he suffered humiliation, rejection, embarrassment, temptation, false accusation, and so on. For you to be in a position of honour, you must experience the same thing. On the road to your divine destiny, you need a vision to stay on the right track. As a man of vision, no matter what constitutes the obstacles on your way, you can never be stopped.”

FAITH COMES THROUGH THE WORD

Prophet T.B. Joshua enlightened the congregation and viewers on how they could ‘bring Jesus onto the scene’ in his message titled, ‘Faith Comes Through The Word’. Mark 16:17, “In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues.” This Scripture is useless, baseless, until we act on it. Acting on the Word, brings Jesus on the scene. If you do not act on the Word, God is impotent in you. It is acting on the Word that builds faith in the believer. Jesus Christ preached the Word, healed the sick and broke the power of demons over men. Apostles preached the Word, the sick were healed and multitudes were recreated. To preach the Word means to preach Christ because Christ is the Word. John 15:16 “Whatever you ask the father in my name, I will do.” It’s not every time we say, in the name of Jesus we bring Jesus on the scene. Only faith pleases Jesus. Only faith brings Jesus on the scene. On the scene, means here, now. In our gathering here, if Jesus is involved, healing, deliverance takes place. By looking into the Word and acting on it, we bring Jesus on the scene.

TESTIMONIES GALORE!

Hundreds came forward eager to share the good news of what God Almighty had done in their lives through different mediums of the ministry of Prophet T.B. Joshua, including the Anointing Water, Anointing Sticker, Emmanuel TV and those who had received prayer and prophecy from the man of God and the wise men. Here are some of the highlights:

 

JOBLESS WOMAN GETS PRIVATE JET RIDE TO BIG TIME EMPLOYMENT IN ABU DHABI

Mrs Carine Virgine
A Cameroonian Health and Safety Officer in Dubai, Mrs Carine Virgine testified how distance was not a barrier to the real, authentic and forceful power of God. Despite all her qualifications, she was unable to secure employment. There were just four days left for her visa to expire and she would either be imprisoned or be forcefully repatriated to Nigeria according to the law in Dubai. She watched Emmanuel TV on the internet in Dubai and while praying with Prophet T.B. Joshua during the viewer’s prayer, she vomited out thick substances. A friend then came to visit her who had just left The SCOAN and gave her a bottle of the Anointing Water, telling her that if she believed, she would have her testimony within the next four days. She immediately ministered the Anointing Water.
The next day, a call came to her from a man who said her CV was before him and he had no questions for her other than if she was satisfied with the terms of the job she had applied for. He forwarded her CV to the Human Resources Department and she was invited for an interview. She was told to check her email box and discovered that a private jet was waiting to take her to Abu Dhabi, the Administrative Capital of the United Arab Emirates for the interview! She took the flight and committed the interview into the hands of God and the manager of the company even received her at the airport. To her further surprise, there was no interview at the end of the day. The interview was merely to show her round her new accommodation including a swimming pool, gym and restaurant on site! She is now appointed as the Health and Safety Officer of The Anatara Group Hotel Franchise, one of the biggest hotel chains in The Middle East. Her advice simply encouraged us all to truly believe in God and our prayers would be answered.

DEADLY FAMILY CURSE OF DIABETES SHATTERED THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER

 

 

 

 

 

Mr Ignatius Ochiba

To some, diabetes has become a normal way of life. It is just something they have to put up with. But in the Ochiba family, diabetes was a silent killer. After two of Mr Ignatius Ochiba’s brothers had died of diabetes, his family was shaken at the stunning news that he had himself been diagnosed as a diabetic. Instantly, his health fell into decline, perpetuated by weakness, pain and fatigue in addition to sleeplessness and restlessness caused by the frequent urination accompanying the sickness. On being diagnosed with the same killer disease of diabetes, Mr Ignatius Ochiba decided immediately to come to The SCOAN where he received the Anointing Water. He gathered his family together. They prayed and he ministered the Anointing Water to the entire family, himself included. He went for a routine check up and was awaiting the results. He received a call from the doctor congratulating him and inviting him to the hospital. They showed him that his fasting blood sugar range had come back to normal level indicating that he was free from diabetes. Previously, he urinated frequently both day and night as a result of the diabetes but since ministering the Anointing Water, he slept soundly without any disturbance or rushing to the bathroom. The family curse of diabetes which had claimed the lives of two of his brothers came to a sudden end as God Almighty used the Anointing Water to break every chain of sickness the devil had used to connect this family to himself. He advised all that they should not allow their situation to mislead them because man’s condition does not change God’s position.

MOTORCYCLE DEALER’S ENTIRE STOCK PURCHASED AFTER MINISTERING ANOINTING WATER

 

Mr Azuka Morah

 

 

 

This motorcycle dealer was down on his luck to say the least. His business was steadily going downhill until there was a terrorist attack in his state. After the bomb blast in his area, his shaky business became drastically worse. After going through the tension of securing a loan from his bank, putting up his house as collateral, he was further frustrated to the point where his loan even expired and his bank manager turned his back on him. After the loan expired, he still could not sell his products, occasionally selling a single bike in two weeks. He could not even pay his children’s school fees and his house was endangered for the now expired loans he had taken.  In the midst of his situation, a nephew encouraged him to come to The SCOAN to receive the Anointing Water. In faith, he came and received. He returned to his warehouse that was so full you could not even enter it and took photos as he knew his testimony was restored. In no time, a company he used to do business with bought all the motorcycles to the tune of 30,000,000 naira. He has settled the bank and has reclaimed his building – he is no longer a debtor and business is still going fine. He now has peace and can sleep well. His children who had to stop their education due to the problem the family was facing, are even schooling abroad now! Advising all and sundry, he said we should trust in the God of Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ for all we need to live for Him here and now.

DENNIS SAMUELS – DIRECTOR GENERAL FOR A COMPUTER COMPANY

Dennis Samuels

From the time he became a partner of Emmanuel TV, he had been praying for the grace to be a committed one. He was among a few of the privileged who received an Emmanuel TV badge. A prayer partner was also assigned to him – one of the wise men. Each time he had an issue, the wise man would pray with him and counsel him over the phone. In January, 2012, his company received an invitation for a big exhibition in Burkina Faso. He managed to raise funds with his entire staff and set off for his j

ourney to the exhibition. When at the airport, his phone rang. It was his prayer partner, the wise man. He asked him where he was going and Mr Samuels explained that his company was elected to be a part of a big exhibition in Burkina Faso. The wise man counselled him and advised him to go ahead, that God would go with him. In accordance with the words of the wise man, Mr Samuels’ company was the star of the three day competition in Burkina Faso, as God favoured his company. Everything happened as the wise man had told him and he was given an award for ‘The Best Hope In Computer Security’. 

In a subsequent phone call from his prayer partner, the wise man, asked him, “When last did you check your blood pressure?” He said, “Please, can you go and check it and call me back”. Mr Samuels said that he went to the nearest clinic to test his BP. He was shocked when the doctor  who had asked him to wait came back with a perplexed look on his face asking Mr Samuels how he had come, that his BP was not only high but at the crisis level! The doctor advised him against driving and wanted to hospitalize him. Mr Samuels called his prayer partner who told him that that was the reason he had called him. His prayer partner then proceeded to pray with him and within a week Mr Samuels’ BP was back to normal.

He advised that to be a partner of Emmanuel TV was not about having a partnership number, “You need commitment. God is monitoring your activity. Be consistent and sincere in what you are doing. God is the rewarder of all things!”

 

MAN MADE A MILLIONNAIRE MOMENTS AFTER A MIRACLE

Mr Harrison Ugboh
He and his wife were separated. He got a call from his mother that his wife was in The SCOAN. He laughed over it because he did not believe in The SCOAN. His wife called later saying she wanted to see him at the church. So he came. Wise Man Daniel touched him during the service and that was all he could remember of his deliverance. He used to go to a river to fetch water as a child. He went, caught a fish and went to eat it. That was the River Ethiope. He noticed a fair lady sitting at the riverbank that day. He noticed cowries on the riverbed where she was, bent and picked them up. A similar fair lady came in his dreams and demanded for her cowries back. He was a teenager then and in fear, he awoke, ran out of the house and threw them away. The spirit of the River Ethiope appeared to him the next day in a dream and said that she owned him. Since then, she came in his dreams and he started having serious wet dreams. He would see her physically and if she wanted to come, she came with a cold presence and no matter what he was doing, he would have to look up and they would make love. His parents started suspecting him of being possessed and once found him on the floor crying and shouting where nobody else was.

This spiritual wife affected his life by addicting him to chatting with girls on the internet and giving him the spirit of lust to womanize. His career and business were also destroyed by the malicious spirit. One such instance occurred when a lady came to his travelling business and paid 300,000 towards travelling to the United Kingdom. As the money entered his account, his business folded up over the following weeks. Each time he was about to get somewhere in a business, the spiritual wife would come into his dreams and tell him that that business was dead. Every time the spiritual wife killed a business, she would give another idea for businesses which would immediately catch on until the evil spirit again would crush the business.

The spiritual wife was extremely jealous of him and any woman who came near to him, would face immediately attacks. There was a terrible case where a girl who stayed with him during his school times, started bleeding in her brain which stopped immediately she moved out from the same house as him. The spiritual wife then led to separation from his wife.

So, when he came to The SCOAN and was delivered through Wise Man Daniel, life changed entirely. The affection for his wife was fully restored and he had peace as the spiritual wife and wet dreams then became a thing of the past. While he was still at The SCOAN for a week, he got a call that he should come back to his state for an urgent parcel. The man of God said he should attend to it and when he did, he found that it was a document which he had not applied for but offering him a contract with AGIP oil company to the tune of $200,000 which was an equivalent of 38,000,000 naira. That was not the only breakthrough he received. He was also able to join partners to his company who landed a massive project for the three of them to supply over 100 million units of their oil product of which the proceeds would be shared between the three of them at the rate of 1 naira per unit! His advice was to encourage parents to be conscious of their little children and not to allow them to pick things up off the floor and that people should not wait for their case to get as bad as his, come to a living Church where the Holy Ghost was in control, Jesus Christ is waiting to receive them.

 

 

MISS SEEAFAHU OKORO

Miss Seeafahu Okoro
The man of God replayed a video of a prophecy he had given to a woman the previous week where he asked her who Lawson was. The prophecy had revealed that she went to Europe where she did prostitution. After showing the video, the woman who was present in the service said that the man the prophecy concerned, Lawson, was introduced to her by her sister. He had promised to take her to Europe to work in a bar and wash plates. So, they went to a herbalist to make a covenant by taking hair from her private parts, armpits and blood from her forehead that she would have to pay him 50,000 euro after she started working in Europe, to which she agreed. The man then slept with her before taking her to the airport to travel. When she got to Europe, she was surprised that the man gave her some sexy clothes and told her to work on the street as a prostitute. She was taken by 6 men on the first night and from there, slept with between 40 and 50 men every day over the next two years before she finally paid the money. She fell mysteriously sick and the hospital told her that her kidney was damaged and needed to be removed before it affected the other kidney and could become fatal. She had to undergo surgery and was left with only one kidney. She was repatriated to Nigeria when she cried out to her embassy and returned to Nigeria with nothing. She came to The SCOAN and received the word of prophecy that delivered her from this past life of pain and disgrace. The man of God said it was a lesson to many, that it is not where you are but what you are. “No continent can change you if you are not ready to change.” He said.

FEMALE CULT LEADER DELIVERED FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS

 

Mrs Amaka
She started by asking for forgiveness from the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, stating she had blasphemed and said so many bad things, spreading rumours against T.B. Joshua and his ministry with the intention of destroying him and his ministry. “Every evil thing you could think of, I said it against him” she said.When she was young, she craved power. A spirit entered her and she saw herself always on top. When she went to university, she joined a female cult where she became the ‘number one’ in that cult. She took girls on the campus for initiation. She used to take the girls to a forest under the pretense that they were going to a party. She had a hundred powers she collected from a witch doctor and said “The more you looked at me, the less you would see me”. Once she raised her hand and said something, people would abide by whatever she said. She would consult a herbalist who would clear the coast for her any time her cult planned to do an initiation in the forest. The code was that they would wear a black bra. They would tie their eyes and she would bring the prepared concoction. She would bring out a razor and force the girls to take an oath during the initiation to take their blood. She would put the blood in the concoction and tell them to drink it which would make them high. After the initiation, the power would tell them the evil things they should do.

She said the day she started spreading a film blaspheming T.B. Joshua, that was the day things turned against her. She left school and got married but the curse on her life remained. A friend told her about the testimonies on Emmanuel TV. She went home and had a dream about T.B. Joshua, in which the man of God told her she should ask God for forgiveness, that she had sinned against the Holy Ghost. She began watching Emmanuel TV after which she came to The SCOAN and received her deliverance through Wise Man John Chi. She said she encountered Jesus that day through the prayer of Wise Man John Chi. She stated there was no gain in joining secret cults.

MTN PROJECT FAME STAR DELIVERED AT THE SCOAN

Denise
Denise, a 28 years old who was brought up in the USA said she never knew that the devil had so much control over her life until she was set free at The SCOAN.

Her mother was a drug addict – at two months old, her mother gave her to her aunt in America who was unable to have children at the time. When her aunt had her own biological child, then she started maltreating her. The authorities heard of it and locked up her aunt. Later, her aunt decided to send her back to her mother but at this time, Denise did not know that the woman she had grown up with was her aunt and not her mother. She was deceived that she was going to Chicago to stay with her favourite uncle but found herself in Freetown, Sierra Leone. After this, she was to board a flight to Liberia, unbeknown to her, to meet with her mother for the first time. When she was about to arrive, they said there was a war on in Liberia and they could not enter the country at that time. Then she was taken care of by the flight hostesses until there was a ceasefire and they could enter.

Another lady saw her when she was crying in the airplane and started talking to her about Liberia where she was going. As soon as they got to Liberia, the war started again. Denise’s only clue as to where she was going was to find a lady called Gloria who she was going to be staying with. When she found Gloria, she said, she was told to take Denise to her biological mother. She had not been able to find her because the mother was always taking drugs and high. When they finally found her mother, the mother was dirty, smelly and carrying a newborn child. For a while however, she enjoyed the motherly love she had never had for the next three days. On the third day, her mother told her that she had to grow up now; this was not America. Her mother then started using her to get money by leaving her with men and it was just the grace of God she said that none of them ever raped her as the deal had been between them and her mother.

To escape from her mother, she found a rich boyfriend who was into and introduced her to drugs, smoking and drinking. But when the war restarted again, the man gave her money and fled. So, she also tried to flee and got to Ghana. In Ghana, she was wasting her money on her drug habit and when she got high on drugs, she would start singing. A day came when she tried singing at a Karaoke Bar, and the owner liked her voice so much, they employed her to be singing there. That was her first job. So, she started building up a new life again. She auditioned for MTN Project Fame and got to seventh place, whereas there were only five winners. The Project Fame organization did however give her a $2,000 prize with which she got her first apartment for two years. So, she realized that competitions were the only way she would be able to make clean money without sleeping with people. There were several older men who offered her help for sex which although she didn’t want to, she had no option as her money was all gone. After sleeping with such men, not one of them could fulfil their promise.

She got seriously sick and then, became suicidal. She tried to kill herself three times but someone would always come in and save her at the last minute. One of her friends said he would take her to The SCOAN and as she was wondering if it was another spiritualist or ‘juju man’, he said, ‘‘No, I am taking you to God.’’ She said, “Okay, if it is not God, after this, I am leaving this earth because I am tired”.

The road was rough and the devil really opposed her coming to The SCOAN, even making her to fight the man that tried bringing her to the church but in the end, she got to The SCOAN and received the deliverance she had never even dreamed of. Now, she is happy, delivered and free from all her addictions. She wants to give her life to Christ and asked Prophet T.B. Joshua for advice and instruction for her future.

What more can we say? Lives are changing, nations are changing and the world is changing through the Gospel of Jesus Christ on Emmanuel TV. Continue to be a part of it as you stay tuned and stay connected anywhere you are – distance is not a barrier.

IF YOUR HEART IS EMPTY, YOUR LIFE IS VERY EMPTY – TB JOSHUA

 

The SCOAN Saturday and Sunday services were packed as usual to capacity with huge overflow crowds in the facilities outside the church auditorium. Worshippers from all over the world came, eager to see the power of God working in the Spirit to expose the kingdom of darkness and set multitudes of captives free through Prophet T.B. Joshua and the five Wise Men.

 

The SCOAN Saturday service started with the wise men ministering praying to the people in Jesus’ name at the prayer line and it was clear that each wise man was energized by God to break the grip of satan and his agents off the lives of the people.

 

DYNAMIC WORDS OF WISDOM FROM PROPHET T.B. JOSHUA

Prophet T.B Joshua gave some dynamic words of wisdom during the Saturday and Sunday services and said that those who humble themselves under God have taken the right course to secure themselves.

 

He said that joy is a fruit of faith and that joy is something only believers have, while the world may have happiness which they find in the environment around them. He further said, “If your hands are full of money and your brain full of information but your heart is empty, your life is very empty.”

 

A HEART DECISION – WISE MAN RACINE

Wise Man Racine gave a thought provoking message during the Sunday service title: ‘A Heart Decision’, the proof text being taken from John 17:16. He started the message by saying that in Christ, challenges and opposition are part and parcel of greatness, stressing that the road map to future greatness is not a bed of roses. He said, “No one can grow without challenges and opposition.” 

 

He asked what lessons could we learn from the heroes of faith in the Bible like Job, Hannah, Zacchaeus, and the poor widow in Mark 12:42-44,  who took advantage of their opposition?

 

1. Their victory started within them with a heart decision
2. They had room in their hearts to bless God even when He takes away.
3. They took a heart decision to honor God in their trials and God blessed them through their trials

 

Wise Man Racine further explained, “We overcome by keeping our purpose, our vision and our mission in the forefront of our mind.” He ended his message by saying that when we begin to have a heart decision, our life will begin to change.

 

The following faith building testimonies were given during the services by people from different walks of life to acknowledge and thank our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for His mercy and favour:

 

THE HEART OF THE MATTER

Mr Linus Ejike, a young footballer, developed severe chest pain which crippled his sporting career and rendered him unable to train with his teammates. Weakened and in constant internal pain, he went to the hospital and was tested and diagnosed to have heart failure. The diagnosis surprised the doctors, as he was an active young man and had previously been healthy.  After months of taking treatment, the situation continued to deteriorate to the point where he was a shadow of his original self. It was at this low point of his life that he came to The SCOAN to receive the Anointing Water, knowing that his problem had gone beyond the power of nature and required divine intervention. He prayed, in Jesus’ name, ministered the Anointing Water all over his body. As he ministered it, Mr Ejike felt a supernatural strength returning to his frail body. Revitalised and renewed, he decided to go back to the hospital for a test. The doctor tested and confirmed that the heart was now functioning perfectly. The young footballer testified that he has now returned to the field of play and is healthier than ever before! He held up two medical reports showing his condition before and after the healing, medical proof of his miraculous recovery. To God be the glory!

 

HUGE YAMS HARVESTED AFTER ADHERENCE TO THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR 2013

Mr Buba heard the Prophecy For Individuals in 2013, delivered by Prophet T.B. Joshua during the New Year’s service, stressing that agriculture was an anointed business for 2013 . At that time, he was very poor and was struggling to take care of his children. He decided to go into farming, based on the words from the man of God. After purchasing the seeds, he prayed and sprayed the Anointing Water on them before planting. To everyone’s great surprise, at harvest time he reaped extremely large yams. Displaying some of the tubers of yam in the church, he advised all to trust in Jesus Christ for their breakthrough.

 

FROM BARRENNESS TO FRUITFULNESS!

Mrs Okonkwo was faced with a desperate and dire predicament. She had been barren for 13 years and nightly experienced strange spiritual attacks where a man would sleep with her. This experience was followed by lack of affection for her husband, resulting in constant quarrels and fights in the house. The marriage was at the verge of breaking when the couple decided to visit The SCOAN, having exhausted their efforts moving around hospitals and spiritualists. Medically speaking, her husband was diagnosed to have a low sperm count as well as an infection. Upon arriving at The SCOAN, the couple were privileged to receive the Anointing Water. Upon returning home, they ministered it together in Jesus’ name, believing that God would replace their barrenness with fruitfulness. The first sign of the deliverance was that Mrs Okonkwo began to sleep soundly, not plagued by the constant demonic attacks. Peace and unity began reigning in the house and affection was miraculously restored between husband and wife. One month after her visit to The SCOAN, Mrs Okonkwo experienced some strange stomach cramps, prompting her to visit a hospital. To her greatest surprise, she was confirmed to be pregnant! She proudly showed her pregnancy to the congregation, testifying that God used the Anointing Water to wrought a mighty miracle in her life and marriage. Her tears of barrenness have been wiped way!

 

PLAY PUBLISHED AFTER 20 YEAR DELAY!

Mr Opuofeni Esanmabeke, a Director of Social Planning & Drama Director in Delta State, Nigeria came to The SCOAN with a powerful testimony of breakthrough in his life and career. Mr Esanmabeke was gifted as a writer and playwright but constantly encountered disappointment at the point of breakthrough. He had penned a book twenty years ago but all efforts to see it published proved abortive. Realizing that he was caught up in a cycle of backwardness and limitation, he decided to visit The SCOAN and was privileged to receive the Anointing Water on December 31^st 2011. From the day he ministered the Anointing Water in Jesus’ name, miraculous breakthrough began unfolding in every department of his life!

 

First, his unpublished play written 20 years ago was published after financial empowerment miraculously came. Thereafter, he submitted one of his publications to the Delta State Government and it was approved to be printed as an essential item in every Secondary School of the State for students to study. Lastly, an associate of his blessed him with a brand new jeep, the picture of which he happily showed to the congregation. Indeed, he has been lifted from the bed of poverty, stagnancy and backwardness!

 

DEAD BABY DELIVERED ALIVE!

After eight months of pregnancy, Mrs Alika Collins was given some terrible news. Her baby had died prematurely in her womb. Two different hospitals had confirmed the tragedy and counseled her to immediately go for an operation to remove the dead baby. However, these desperate circumstances triggered her desperate faith. Refusing to be discouraged upon hearing this news, she rushed to The SCOAN where she was privileged to receive the Anointing Water. She ministered the Anointing Water and then returned to the same hospital which had confirmed her baby to have died. She authoritatively told the doctors that the baby in her womb was alive, contrary to their diagnosis.

 

She felt labour pains and began pushing even in the midst of the doctors skepticism, believing God that a miracle was about to unfold. The doctors reluctantly assisted her, expecting to see the lifeless baby come out. To their greatest shock, the baby emerged crying and full of life! Dumbfounded, the doctors reassessed their initial checks and could find no medical explanation for how the lifeless baby had resurrected in the womb of Mrs Collins. Even her husband testified that he never expected the baby to live but rather sent his wife to The SCOAN just to satisfy her desperation. Mrs Alika proudly showed her baby to the world, saying that she had named her ‘Emmanuella’ in honour of the Anointing Water that God used to restore her life. What a God we have to worship; what a Son we have to praise; what a future lies before us!

 

 

 

I THREW AWAY MY GLASSES!

Mr Orobosa Aryudu had poor vision for 20 years. Doctors told him that he would wear spectacles for the rest of his life. He was not able to read or drive without his glasses and had even gone through four sets of glasses in five months.  He was very frustrated and discouraged but after seeing what God Almighty was doing in the lives of the people, he came to The SCOAN and received the Anointing Water. By faith, he ministered the Anointing Water directly into his eyes in Jesus’ name. The following day, his final pair of glasses broke and he realized that God was encouraging him to step out in faith and receive his healing. The next day he woke up and realized his vision was clear and he was not wearing glasses. He went about his daily activities for the first time in 20 years without using glasses! He can now read, drive and do all other activities without the use of his glasses and even read a portion of a sermon to the congregation to prove that he is completely free from myopia. Glory be to God!

 

SPIRITUAL HUSBAND ANNIHILATED AND LIFE RESTORED

Mrs Jane Linch from Zimbabwe had the problem of a spiritual husband that tormented her.  The evil attacks she was experiencing in her dreams resulted in her facing severe financial difficulties and disappointments. She explained that the evil spirit had destroyed not only her marital life but also her relationships with her friends and family. She said she was married twice and that the first marriage had ended in divorce and her second in the death of her husband. She said that after meeting the strange man in her dreams, a few days later, her business would crumble. She also said that she had borrowed all the money she had to the value of $52 000 to a woman she knew very well. The woman promised to return the money within eight months but when the time came, she refused to return the money and kept giving Mrs Linch one excuse or the other.

 

In the midst of this desperate situation, Mrs Linch was introduced to Emmanuel TV. She saw how God was delivering many people from the same problem of spiritual husband she was facing. The testimonies encouraged her and she said to herself that if the Anointing Water had changed the lives of millions of people, her case would not be an exception. She came to The SCOAN and was privileged to receive the Anointing Water. She prayed and ministered the Anointing Water in Jesus’ name and received instant deliverance from the spiritual husband, as that night she slept peacefully for the first time in many years. She joyfully told the congregation that she no longer saw the strange man in her dreams after ministering the Anointing Water. Mrs Linch returned to Zimbabwe and to her greatest astonishment, the woman she had borrowed the $52,000 to, called her and told her that she had paid all the money she owed her into her bank account. From that day forward, the blessings continued to roll in as the spirit behind her setback had been sent packing!  She is now blessed with a booming business of importing maize. Glory be to God!

 

RUPTURED APPENDIX – I ALMOST SAW DEATH!

Mr Eze Meletus from Enugu, Nigeria was in his shop one day when he started having severe stomach pain. When he got home later that day, he started vomiting. Alarmed and in pain, he rushed to the hospital and the doctor’s said that they had to do an emergency operation. When they operated him, they discovered that Mr Eze had a ruptured appendix that had burst and rotted inside him. After the operation, he was discharged from the hospital but his stomach started to swell like a pregnant woman and he had to be rushed back to the hospital for yet another operation. After the second operation, he was once again discharged from the hospital but to his greatest dismay, his stomach swelled up yet again. The doctor told him that a third operation had to be performed. Hopeless and with great sadness, he asked his brother to get the Anointing Water for him before the third operation was to be performed. He prayed and ministered the Anointing Water on his stomach in Jesus’ name and instantly, his swollen stomach started to go down moments before the third operation was performed. The doctors were shocked and asked him what happened. He explained to them that he had used the Anointing Water and the doctors praised God and told him that they did not believe that he would survive. He was immediately discharged from the hospital without having to undergo the third operation and within one week was completely healed. He testified that he no longer experiences any pain or swelling and is now strong and healthy. He also showed his before and after medical reports stating that had a ruptured appendix and another showing that he is now completely healed. He advised people to have faith in God and believe that He can do all things.

 

Mr Eze shared yet another testimony explaining that his wife Mrs Eze Meletus used to have miscarriages and had a hormonal imbalance. He said that they prayed and ministered the Anointing Water to Mrs Meletus in Jesus’ name believing that God will take control and after meeting as husband and wife, to their greatest excitement, Mrs Meletus got pregnant. She is now seven months pregnant and proudly showed her pregnancy to the congregation. Glory be to God! Miscarriages are a thing of the past thanks to the Anointing Water.

 

 

I WAS ALMOST BURNT TO DEATH!

Mrs Mary Akinola and her twin daughters came to The SCOAN to thank God for saving their lives. Mrs Akinola explained that they used the Anointing Water as if it were perfume and sprayed it on themselves every night before going to bed and every morning before going out. When spraying the Anointing Water, they would pray and ask God for His divine protection on their lives. One morning, she ministered the Anointing Water as usual and went to the market to buy goods to trade with. Upon returning from the market in a small bus with two other people and her goods, they experienced a terrible accident. She woke up and found herself outside a burning bus. With great horror, she watched as the final pieces of the bus burned to ashes with the two other people still inside. Miraculously, she was the only one who survived the ghastly accident. She further testified that her handbag and everything in it was burnt in the fire from the accident but to her greatest astonishment, the Anointing Water and Anointing Sticker which she had stuck on her Bible and kept in her handbag, were not burnt at all.

 

THAT’S NOT ALL – TWIN DAUGHTERS SAVED FROM KIDNAPPERS

Mrs Mary Akinola’s twin daughters shared their own testimony of how God had saved them through the Anointing Water. The sister’s confirmed what their mother had earlier said that as a family, they would pray and minster the Anointing Water in Jesus’ name before going out in the morning. One morning, they were on their way to school and entered a bus not knowing that it was full of kidnapped victims. They explained that when they entered the bus, they noticed that everyone was silent with serious facial expressions. When the bus passed their bus stop without stopping, the conductor told them that it was a ‘kidnapper bus’ and they had just been kidnapped. They started praying aloud to Jesus Christ – the God of Prophet T.B. Joshua to save them. As they shouted, ‘Emmanuel!’ the bus conductor immediately turned and asked them whether they were from T.B. Joshua. They said yes and the conductor started shouting that he could see fire and instantly instructed them to leave the bus. That was how they were saved from kidnappers!

 

SET FREE FROM A 20 YEAR SNUFF ADDICTION THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER

Mr Theophilus Danjuma had been addicted to using snuff for 20 years. In an hour, he could take it twice. It cost him a lot of money and when there was no money, he would sell his property to buy it. He could not sleep without taking snuff and had to take it first thing in the morning. He would even close his shop early in order to buy snuff. He saw many people delivered on Emmanuel TV from various similar addictions. That strengthened his faith and he borrowed money to come to The SCOAN. He bought more snuff in Lagos on his way to the church but when he entered the church, he forgot that he had snuff tobacco with him. He received the Anointing Water and prayed with it, in Jesus’ name. Instantly, the urge for snuff disappeared. He threw away the snuff he had bought and is completely delivered from the addiction to snuff. He could not eat after taking the snuff previously but now, he can eat. He is a healthy man now and has put on weight. He promised to serve the Lord with dedication because of what God had done for him. Advice: The Anointing Water is fire, in Jesus’ name and people should trust in the power of God to deliver them, just as God used it to deliver him!

 

I AM A CAR OWNER THROUGH THE ANOINTING STICKERS

Mr Anakpe had no source of income and was jobless when he came to The SCOAN. He received the Anointing Stickers for a house and car by faith regardless of the fact that he did not own anything at that point in time. He said that he had faith that God would bless him through the Anointing Stickers because Prophet T.B. Joshua had said that even if you did not own a car or a house, if you take the Anointing Stickers by faith, you will become a car and house owner. Mr Anakpe believed what the man of God said and took the Anointing Stickers by faith believing that he soon would be a proud owner of a house and car. When he returned home, he told his friend that the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua had given him a house and a car. His friend congratulated him and asked where the house and car was; when he showed him the Anointing Stickers, his friend thought he was joking and laughed at him. Mr Anakpe was not moved however by his friend’s unbelief and within no time after receiving the Anointing Stickers, he got a job and was able to purchase his first car. He showed the congregation a photograph of his new car with the Anointing Sticker proudly stuck on its back window. He advised everyone to have faith in God’s power.

 

A 15 YEAR OLD BOY’S HORRIFIC SKIN DISEASE CURED MIRACULOUSLY

A video was replayed showing Alphonsus Ugan who had developed a terrible skin disease all over his body. The disease had been with him for over 8 years. As a result, he had to stop school. Because of the smell, he could not be in a public place or with his friends. The fungal infection escalated and the doctors transferred him from hospital to hospital without a solution. Alphonsus was brought to The SCOAN by his mum and placed on the prayer line. He said that when Wise Man Daniel prayed for him in The SCOAN Prayer Line, it felt as if something left him and instantly, the pain disappeared. Within just three weeks, the terrible disease had cleared up and he was able to return to all normal activities expected of a teenager. Completely healed, he has since gone back to school. The doctors who treated him were shocked at his miraculous recovery and said that what was medically impossible, God had made possible.

 

Alphonsus is now studying political science at the university and is one of the best students in his class. He showed the now perfectly restored glowing skin on his hands, legs and feet to the congregation with only a small scar on his right leg to remind him of what God had done for him. He also showed everyone that he can now wear shoes, which he could not do before. Alphonsus advised people to believe in the Mighty Healer, Jesus Christ because nothing is impossible for God and that He alone can heal all types of diseases.

 

Alphonsus’s mother also spoke and said that four specialist German doctors had told her that they did not know what to do because they had given her son the strongest medication for the problem with no effect. She said that her son’s condition affected her so much that she even lost her job as a civil servant because all her attention was on caring for her son, Alphonsus. She explained how she had to carry him to The SCOAN on her back because walking was a grueling and painful task for him. She said that immediately after the prayer from Wise Man Daniel at The SCOAN Prayer Line, the dead infected skin on her son started to fall off his body and within three weeks, he was completely healed. She advised everyone not to lose hope or limit God and said that when God touches you through His servants, you will be healed and restored in Jesus’ name.

 

AMPUTATION CANCELLED

Mr. Patrick Benson came to The SCOAN unable to walk without a walking stick. After armed robbers viciously attacked him, he sustained a horrific injury on his foot after the robbers opened fire on him. A bullet ripped through his foot, leaving a gaping wound. Escaping with his life, he was rushed to the hospital where doctors recommended an immediate amputation of his foot due to the severity of the wound.

 

Mr Patrick refused to undergo such operation and began desperately searching for solution. However, the condition of his foot kept deteriorating and the wound kept widening. After exhausting efforts moving around both conventional and unconventional hospitals and herbal homes, a friend recommended he come to The SCOAN. Hobbling painfully into the prayer line, fully dependent on a walking aid, Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed for Mr Benson in the power of the Holy Spirit. Immediately he began to walk as he threw the walking aid away and placed weight fully on his foot for the first time since the robbery incident. He returned to The SCOAN to testify that since receiving prayer, the wound on his foot completely closed and covered over, enabling him to return to work and continue his daily activities freely! Within just a week, he returned to the doctors who were astounded by the speedy recovery and said he no longer needed to go for the amputation. Hallelujah!

 

UNBORN BABY FOR SALE RESCUED!

Last week Sunday, we listened to Ms Chinonye Ubochi who said that she was pregnant but that the man who impregnated her rejected the pregnancy. As a result, she said she had wanted to sell her baby for 250,000 naira. She stated that she had already negotiated the said price for her unborn baby with a particular woman who was waiting for her to deliver. She said that she had told her mother about her intentions to sell her unborn baby and that her mother had said that she should do whatever was in her mind because her mother was already taking care of her other child and the familywere not financially capable of caring for another. She wanted to sell the baby because she did not have a job or any source of income. Prophet T.B. Joshua said Ms Ugochi needed deliverance as it was an evil spirit that pushed her to even contemplate such a inhumane act, promising that the ministry would provide scholarships for the unborn baby and her other child. Later in the service that day, she was prayed for in the power of the Holy Spirit by one of the wise men and delivered in Jesus’ name.

 

During this week’s Sunday service, Ms Chinoye Ugochi shared her testimony and explained that she used to have evil attacks at night and had two pregnancies including the current one, from two different men who had each rejected the babies. She said that after her deliverance, she has been sleeping well and no longer experiences nightmares. Chinoye’s mother also thanked God for delivering her daughter. Chinoye was given a cash gift of 300,000 naira for her children’s scholarships from Prophet T.B Joshua and The Emmanuel TV Partners as well as four bags of rice and a copy of The Mirror. They rejoiced and thanked God for His mighty provision and restoration.

 

I SEE MY HUSBAND IS HANDSOME NOW!

Mr & Mrs Steven Eze, Nigerians residing in South Africa came forward to share their touching testimony. During last week’s service, Mrs Ifeoma Eze was delivered from an evil spirit that had threatened to destroy their young marriage. The evil spirit had caused constant fraction in the marriage, leading to no affection and regular contemplation of separation. Mr Eze described living with his wife before her deliverance as being hellish, stating that it was as if she was a robot programmed to irritate him. Before their marriage, he was a thriving businessman living comfortably but since getting married, he stated that it was like someone pointed a remote control at him and pressed ‘pause’ as all his business investments and contracts ground to a halt. It was only after installing Emmanuel TV in their home that the couple began to realize the spiritual element to their marital problem and resolved to visit The SCOAN together.

 

Mrs Eze testified that since her deliverance last week, she had slept peacefully without being tormented by a strange watery man in her dreams. She further stated that it was as if her eyes were opened after deliverance and she saw her husband’s handsomeness for the first time! Mr Stephen thanked God for his wife’s deliverance, explaining that even in the short period after her deliverance, he has seen huge changes in her attitude and relationship with him. The couple advised people to watch Emmanuel TV and attend a living church for deliverance if they realize they are facing a problem which is spiritual in origin.

 

PROPHECY RECONCILES COUPLE SEPARATED BY THOUSANDS OF MILES

Mrs Amos came to The SCOAN in August 2012 knowing that her marriage was in a rocky period. She had not heard directly from her husband living in Malaysia for nearly three months and he had sent a text message to her sister that he was no more interested in the marriage. Arriving at The SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua located her in a word of prophecy, stating that he saw separation in her marriage but that she should not cry as her husband would return from abroad to apologize to her and reconcile. As Divine providence would have it, Mr Amos was watching the prophecy live and direct in a different continent and time zone in Malaysia. He had already made up his mind to quit the marriage and told his friend that the only person in the world who could restore their relationship was Prophet T.B. Joshua. Shocked to see the accurate prophetic message, Mr Amos called his wife, forgave her for the past issues they were facing and asked for forgiveness for his previous actions. He testified that since that reconciliatory act, his business in Malaysia began booming miraculously. Upon returning to Nigeria, he went straight to meet his wife and they have been together since. He stated that before the prophecy, he was a womanizer and used to go out late at night with friends to smoke and drink. However, since the prophecy, he has been staying at home with his wife. Who else could bring about this reconciliation other than Jesus Christ!

 

BOOMING FARM AFTER THE PROPHETIC WORD

Mr & Mrs John Gbasa from Nigeria and Mr & Mrs Benson from Ghana came to testify to the fulfillment of Prophet T.B. Joshua’s prophetic words. Mr John Gbasa heard Prophet T.B. Joshua’s prophecy that the year 2013 would be a year in which agriculture and the food supply industry would boom. He immediately went into cocoa, cassava and plantain farming regardless of the fact that he had no knowledge or experience in farming or food supply. Within a short period of time, his agricultural business started booming and international companies started partnering with them. His company represented Nigeria in a Japanese food exhibition a week ago where there was a huge demand for his products from foreign customers.

 

Mr Benson the company director representing the company in Ghana spoke and said that within six months they had harvested a mighty harvest of plantain, cassava and cocoa which should have taken more than one year to achieve. They advised everyone to take the prophetic words from Prophet T.B. Joshua seriously and act according to God’s instruction.

 

CONTROVERSY LAID TO REST THROUGH PROPHECY

A video was replayed of a pinpoint prophetic message Prophet T.B. Joshua gave to a couple during the course of last week’s service. The prophecy centered on a controversy over a child which had resulted into a serious marital crisis. Mr & Mrs Ben Emenari came forward accompanied by their first son, the child the controversy concerned. Mr Emenari explained that he travelled to Italy after his wife conceived their first son and only returned three years later. He was surprised to see that his son’s development was abnormal because all his other children were academically excellent and showed no such signs.

 

The issue caused arguments between the couple as Mr Emenari began believing it was not his child and demanded for another son, even though they had initially decided not to have children again. He explained that as a result of this problem, he sent his family back to Nigeria while he continued living in Italy. Mrs Emenari spoke further to confirm the prophecy, explaining that medical doctors in Italy told her that there was a blockage in his brain that affected his growth. She said that the problem with their child really affected the marriage to the point where she almost left her husband due to the constant fights. The couple thanked God for the prophecy which reconciled the couple. Prophet T.B. Joshua said that he was going to join the family and pray for the child’s full recovery.

 

CALL YOUR BROTHER; I SEE HIM BEING KILLED…

Mrs Okafor Omale came to The SCOAN for the first time last week and was surprised to receive a word of prophecy from Prophet T.B. Joshua while sitting on the gallery. Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied that her senior brother was in grave danger due to a community clash close to he was doing his youth service. Mrs Omale came forward alongside her brother to testify to the accuracy of the prophetic message. Her brother, Mr Vincent, said that immediately he received the call from his younger sister, he left his vicinity and came straight to The SCOAN. Whilst in The SCOAN, one of his colleagues in the community he was serving in called him that during the course of that week, he was almost killed in that community by unknown gunmen.

 

Prior to that, there were serious clashes within the community that led to many deaths. Most of his colleagues rushed away from the community due to the severity of the clashes but he refused to leave and stayed behind. The crises continued to the point where most of the residents and all of the youth corp members in the community left but he was the only one that remained. He testified that God really used Prophet T.B. Joshua to save his life from certain death.  Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied that the young man had a very bright future.

 

ANCIENT ALTAR- A PROPHET WHO STRUGGLED WITH LUST, DEPRESSION AND ANGER

Prophet Ebenezer Gabriel was in The SCOAN last week with his wife when he had a powerful encounter with Jesus Christ. First of all, Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied to him in the service, asking of his father who had something to tell him and revealing that he went to a spiritualist which had adversely affected his life, despite his claim to have accepted Christ. Thereafter, as the Wise Men moved in the midst of the congregation, Wise Man John Chi prayed for Pastor Ebenezer and the evil spirit within him manifested, saying that it was an ancient altar over 250 years old that had destroyed his life and ministry with lust, anger and depression.

 

Prophet Ebenezer explained that after attending Bible College, he was ordained as a prophet but still experienced severe demonic attacks emanating from the ancient shrine in his village that his family worshipped. The evil spirit that tormented Prophet Ebenezer gave him the spirit of lust, depression and anger. He said that after his deliverance, something that had been influencing him came out from him and he is now free. He feels light in his spirit and no longer has bad dreams.

 

His wife, Mrs Ebenezer explained how the spirit of lust had pushed him to watch pornography on the internet. His preoccupation with pornography left him with little time for his wife and also stopped him from reading his Bible and praying. She said that he especially loved watching pornographic images of large, fat women with fair complexions. She said that after his deliverance, he has started appreciating her and her marriage has been restored in Jesus’ name.

 

THOROUGH REFORMATION OF HEART AND LIFE

A video was replayed of how Mr David Parkotyuk from the USA received his deliverance some weeks ago through prayer from Wise Man Racine. He narrated his life story of how the evil spirit that possessed him caused him to live a life of hard drug addiction, stealing and fighting. He said that his destructive lifestyle led him to prison many times where he met hardened criminals. He explained how one day he had a argument with his father while David was yet again high on drugs and the evil spirit within him drove him to attack and attempt to kill his own father, if not for the fact that he was restrained and tied up in order to stop him from hurting himself and others around him. He was then taken to prison yet again and David sadly recounted how his life had become hopeless and how everyone around him had given up on him believing that he could not change. He narrated how his family had taken him to many places and churches in search of a solution but to no avail and he thought that coming to The SCOAN would yield the same fruitless results but that he had nothing to lose. To his greatest shock, David received a powerful deliverance when Wise Man Racine prayed for him during a service day. He said that after his deliverance, he is completely free and is eager to follow Jesus Christ wholeheartedly.  He thanked Prophet T.B. Joshua for mentoring and caring for him physically and spiritually. Indeed, no one is hopeless whose hope is in Jesus Christ.

 

A FIRST CLASS LAW DEGREE!

Twenty one year old Mary-Jean Nleya from Botswana came to share her testimony with God’s people. She said that when she came to The SCOAN, she explained to the man of God that she did not have a father who could finance her education. Prophet T.B. Joshua told her that her father was Jesus Christ and that He would provide for her. She became a beneficiary of The SCOAN scholarship scheme sponsored by Prophet T.B. Joshua and the Emmanuel TV Partner. Prophet T.B. Joshua counseled her to pray as if everything depends on God and work as if everything depends on her. She studied diligently and the messages of Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV inspired her to remain focused amidst distractions from the world. To the glory of God, she obtained a distinction in law, equal to a first class result, and was picked from millions of students worldwide to undertake an internship at the world-renowned International Criminal Court at The Hague, Netherlands. She has also applied for a master’s degree at the Oxford and Cambridge Universities and The London School of Economics.

 

Remember, better is not good enough: the best is yet to come!

KNOW THE VALUE OF YOUR TRIAL

The SCOAN Saturday and Sunday services, which were watched by millions around the world, gave many hope and a new existence. God not only used Prophet T.B Joshua and the Wise Men to preach His Word but He gave being, that is life, to His Word. Here is a snippet account of what actually took place.

 

 

 

KNOW THE VALUE OF YOUR TRIAL

During The SCOAN Live Saturday Service, Prophet T.B. Joshua contributed to the faith of congregants and viewers worldwide as he gave a life-changing message on knowing the value of our situation. He said, “As a Christian, you must know the value of your trial. It is to prepare you. Trials are meant to strengthen you. But when you don’t know the value of your trial, you will complain. It was in the midst of situation that the Lord got me to the place where He could use me. You need to know the value of your trial. When you know the value, you praise the Lord. No one is ready-made before God got him. The Apostles in the Bible, none of them were brought from the palace. Once you know the value, you have overcome”.

MAN’S JUDGEMENT – WISE MAN CHRISTOPHER

On Sunday, Wise Man Christopher’s dynamic preaching left many with food for thought. In his message titled, “Man’s Judgement”, he said that man’s judgement is a judgement that is based only on what is seen, heard and on what the circumstances look like. This kind of judgement is limited and cannot understand God. When you base your judgement only on what is seen, heard and on what the circumstances look like, you have not looked deep enough to the heart. In Acts 16:16-18, if Apostle Paul had considered what the slave girl was saying, he would have been misled. In 1 Samuel 16:1-13, if Prophet Samuel had considered only the sizes, appearances and experiences of David’s brothers, he would have been misled to anoint the wrong person instead of David – a man after God’s own heart. The same thing could have happened to Ananias.  Acts 9:15, “But the Lord said to Ananias, ‘Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel.’ ” If Ananias had actually considered only the past record of Saul, he would have not gone at the Lord’s instruction to pray for Saul who later became Apostle Paul, by the grace of God. These men were able to see things from God’s stand point because they acted with God. When you act with God, you will know God’s opinion about yourself and others. The summary of the message was clear, “As a child of God, look deep enough to the heart by focusing on what God says about the situation at hand”.

It was testimonies galore during the Saturday and Sunday services. Jesus Christ gave us plenty of evidence to believe in Him as testimonies of healing, deliverance and breakthrough seemed to be the order of the day. Testimonies were restored through the mediums of the Anointing Water, Anointing Sticker and His servant’s voice!

60 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER SET FREE FROM 40 YEARS ADDICTION TO SMOKING, DRINKING AND CLUBBING THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER

Rose Muller was a chronic drunkard for 40 years and was addicted to marijuana and cigarettes which she got involved with at the age of 14. She stated that it all started with the bad influence of friends. She would finish two bottles of alcohol a day. As an elderly woman of almost 60 years old, she would go to nightclubs, drink and dance the night away! She said that everybody knew her in the clubs. She would get so intoxicated from the alcohol that she would not even know how she got home from nightclubs. According to what people would tell her, colleagues would put her in a taxi which would take her home. She became well known among the taxi drivers in her area as a chronic drunkard.  She was deported from Germany as a result of her addictions as none of the required insurance companies would cover her because of her serious drinking habit. After administering the Anointing Water, she experienced a radical transformation and was set free from her smoking and drinking addictions. Her cousin confirmed that after praying and ministering the Anointing Water, Ms Rose no longer dances at clubs, drinks or smokes.

She advised people who had a similar problem to hers, “Run to Jesus and go to a living church. Smoking and drinking alcohol destroys your life. Jesus is the only way.”

ANOINTING WATER PUTS AN END TO GAMBLING ADDICTION & ‘BAD BOY’ LIFESTYLE

Iyoyin Oritseweyimi is a young man who had been addicted to gambling for 20 years. Gambling had led him to stealing and committing adultery in order to get more money to gamble. He stole his brother’s car, sold it and used the money to gamble. He stole his friend’s generator to do the same. When he was looking for money and had nothing left, he would lie to his friends that he wanted to start a business; they would give him money and he would gamble it away. When he married, his wife had to shoulder the brunt of the costs as due to his gambling, he had no money in his bank account. As if that was not enough, his wife was also the one who rented and furnished their house. When she was not at home, he began selling the possessions in the house to continue gambling. He even sold his own wedding ring in his pursuit to continue gambling. But all this came to an end after watching Emmanuel TV at a friend’s house. After witnessing the transformative power of Jesus Christ, he decided to come to The SCOAN to receive the Anointing Water. He prayed and ministered the Anointing Water in Jesus’ name and was set free from his gambling addiction. He discovered that he no longer had the urge to gamble, steal or lie. What’s more, his friend who was also into gambling, on seeing the change in his life, also decided to quit gambling and he too was set free, by the grace of Jesus Christ through the Anointing Water.

DAMAGED THROUGH A MOTORBIKE ACCIDENT, RESTORED THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER

Sylvia Karlsson from Ghana had a fracture of the tibia and fibula, rendering her unable to walk after an accident in which she was hit by a motorbike. This had put an end to all her normal activities and landed her in the confines of a wheelchair from which she could only venture, albeit in great pain and difficulty, with a pair of crutches and knee brace. She and her husband came to The SCOAN and received the Anointing Water. They prayed together before ministering the Anointing Water back at their hotel after the service. She said that immediately she ministered the Anointing Water, she felt a difference and shouted that she was healed. She took off her knee brace, dropped her crutches and began to walk by herself for the first time in ages. Guests at the same hotel were astounded and asked her if she was not the woman they saw coming in with crutches. She showed pictures of how the condition was after the accident, before receiving the Anointing Water. She advised that with the power of God in the Anointing Water, all things were possible and that people should look up to God Almighty.

CYNTHIA AND FAITH – SISTERS SAVED FROM SIN

Twenty-one year old Cynthia and her sister, Faith got tired of their destructive and useless lifestyles. Enough was enough. They decided to take a different direction in order to achieve a different solution. That step was what brought them to The SCOAN. Cynthia stated that at the age of five, she had a spiritual husband who would make love to her in the dream. There, she would see herself as a princess in the sea. Following her experiences in the dream, in the physical, she began to live an immoral lifestyle, sleeping with different men. The men she slept with would tell her that she would appear to them in their dreams as a mermaid. When relationships with men started breaking down, she went to a spiritualist where she acquired spiritual powers.  She used the powers and charms she obtained to attract men and entered into a lifestyle of prostitution.

The powers caused her to steal, lie and sleep with men. She would first seduce them before sleeping with them in order to get money to fund her education. Then she would steal their money. The spirit would tell her where the men kept their money.  She said that she had locked one man in the bathroom after sleeping with him and then stole his money.  However, the money she would collect from men would mysteriously disappear. She said that the lifestyle affected her education. She would write exams but the results would always be cancelled and hence, she would not get admission into any university.

While doing prostitution, she also fell into the hands of some ritualists who intended to use her as a sacrifice. Fortunately, she made a narrow escape and decided to come to The SCOAN where she was prayed for by Wise Man Christopher. During the prayer, she received a mighty deliverance from demonic possession, in Jesus’ name. After her deliverance, she had a dream where she saw three snakes come out of her body. She chased them and they ran into a bush. Since her deliverance, she no longer has the urge to sleep with men, lie or steal. The ‘old man’ that once dwelled in Synthia has gone! Her advice: “God’s time is the best. God answers prayer; just wait for the appointed time.”

Faith entered prostitution at the age of 14. She said that her friend would introduce her to different men and they would go to nightclubs and negotiate how much men would pay them for sleeping with them. She went with her friend to a spiritualist who gave them charms that would attract men. After sleeping with men, she would regret her actions but was unable to stop. Her friends convinced her to join a cult where she was initiated and given a tattoo. She chose the tattoo of a dollar sign representing money, believing that as long as she had money, she would be alright in life. She also took a blood oath. The evil spirit behind her behavior also caused her to steal. When she would dance in nightclubs, men would fight over her. One day, she was captured by kidnappers who they took her to the bush with many others. There, she saw many different body parts lying around. They undressed her, left her in her underwear and started to price her along with others who were captured. An argument broke out among the kidnappers where she took the opportunity to escape. When she came to The SCOAN with her sister, Wise Man Christopher delivered her. She no longer has a desire to continue her previous immoral and destructive lifestyle, having been set free from the evil spirits that had possessed her, in Jesus’ name She advised people against living for satan and encouraged them to embrace Jesus Christ.

A WORLD UNDER WATER, REVEALED

Mrs Achai came forward to testify to the mighty deliverance she received in the course of last week’s service. She came all the way from America knowing that she needed divine intervention in the troubles in her life and family. Her case was very mysterious. She explained that she came from a family in South Sudan that worshipped an idol located in a river. The idol would regularly demand for sacrifices of various animals. However, according to the stories told her, the goddess of the river one day demanded that her great-great grandfather should give her his most priceless possession – his only daughter named Achai. He therefore threw his young daughter into the river and she disappeared instantly, never to reappear. For generations, the worship of this river continued. Every second daughter of the family was to be named Achai in reverence to the river.

As the second daughter of her parents, she also was given the name Achai. At age seven, she fell extremely sick to the point where she actually died. Her grave was prepared but she strangely recovered. Her guardians insisted she made a sacrifice to the river for the fact that her life was restored. Upon entering the river with a goat in hand, strange forces suddenly grabbed her legs and took her deep down underneath the water into another world where she witnessed many strange things. She saw people with the appearance and skin of fish moving around, as well as people who were half-fish, half-human. A young lady approached her in the watery kingdom and placed a bracelet round her leg, requesting that they swap places. Upon Achai’s refusal, she was pushed back up through the water and reappeared physically. She had been underwater for three whole hours; the bracelet she was given appeared with her!

Ever since that encounter, Achai realized that she had a number of strange powers. Any person who angered her would end up in trouble, as she realized that any word or curse she pronounced would come to pass. She also realized that she had the ability to foretell the future and would converse with dead people as their families carried them to the morgue. These strange powers isolated her from society, as well as destroyed her marriage and career. Her dreams were filled with people from the river trying to force her to take up responsibilities as a queen, something she kept refusing to do.

It was in the midst of these troubles that a friend introduced her to Emmanuel TV and she decided to visit The SCOAN with her elder brother from America. She explained that as Wise Man John Chi approached her in the service, something within her suddenly told her to run away as fast as possible. However, the light of God overpowered the darkness in her life and she was completely delivered from the demonic spirit that had tormented her life and family for so many generations. She advised Emmanuel TV viewers around the world to follow Jesus Christ as the only Way, stressing that the spiritual world was real but the power of God superseded all demonic powers. Her brother also thanked God for his sister’s deliverance, stressing that their journey to The SCOAN was a miraculous one from the onset. He advised the congregation to put full trust in God. Hallelujah!

FROM TURMOIL TO PEACE – REFUGE CASE SETTLED

Ms Sumiya and her children ran to The SCOAN a few weeks ago for refuge and protection. She explained that she was from Mongolia and that she had met a Nigerian man in China and followed him to Nigeria. She lamented that when she arrived in Nigeria, he started to beat her and lock her up in the house. She also explained that he took her passport from her and she had no way of returning to her country despite trying to contact her nearest embassy in Egypt. She said that upon seeing her suffering, her neighbours came together to give her money to come to The SCOAN to meet the man of God. During last week’s Sunday service, Prophet T.B. Joshua invited the man in question, the father of her children, to come to The SCOAN to explain his side, which he did.  Today, we listened to Ms Sumiya, the father of her children and his brother.

Ms Sumiya said that after Prophet T.B. Joshua had met and counselled them, she forgave the father of her children and his family for whatever they had done to her. She said that her decision however was to go back to her country, Mongolia with her two daughters. She also said that she would invite the father of the children to freely come and visit his children in Mongolia. She thanked Prophet T.B. Joshua for all he had done for them. She then showed copies of her and her children’s travel documents, which the man of God had helped them to obtain from the Mongolian embassy in Egypt, in order to travel back to her country.

UNBORN BABY FOR SALE

We listened to Chinonye Ubochi who said that she was pregnant but that the man who impregnated her rejected the pregnancy. As a result, she said she had wanted to sell her baby for 250,000 naira. She stated that she had already negotiated the said price for her unborn baby with a particular woman who was waiting for her to deliver. She said that she had told her mother about her intentions to sell her unborn baby and that her mother had said that she should do whatever was in her mind because her mother was already taking care of her other children. She wanted to sell the baby because she did not have a job or any source of income. The man of God said that that was not the mind of God for their lives and that the ministry would provide scholarships for the unborn baby and her other children.

KEY + PADLOCK = LOCKED LIVES

During the Saturday service, Mrs Titilayo Suleiman from Abuja, Nigeria received a prophecy from the man of God. Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied to her that he could see a key that was used to lock something and that unless it was opened, nothing could go well. She initially denied that the prophecy was true but the following day, during the Sunday service, she apologized to the Holy Spirit for her dishonesty. She explained that the problems that brought her to The SCOAN were failure and disappointment in marriage. She expressed that some time last year, she was in a relationship with a man who had cheated on her. She said that she went to a spiritualist who took a padlock and locked it, stating that the man should never marry. The spiritualist locked the padlock and gave her the key, which she threw into the sea. She said that after that, her life had been in a state of confusion and that neither she nor the man, had married. The man of God said that both their marital lives had been locked by the spiritualist and that neither would be able to get married unless they were delivered and the padlock was unlocked. It was a lesson for all present to know the value of being sincere, open and honest in the presence of God.

A NEW LIFE!

SUNDAY SERVICE ARTICLE 24.02.13

“Jesus Christ was raised from death so that we could be delivered and receive a new life” (T.B. Joshua)

The thousands who were present in the inside and overflow congregations of the live service at The SCOAN joined viewers from all over the world who watched the service in their homes and offices in receiving a new life.

 

BABIES REVIVED THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER

MR AND MRS CLIFFORD EZENDUKA shared their testimony of what God had done in the life of their son.  They explained that their baby, David developed a high fever and they gave him a usual drug prescription. However, the case worsened when they had to take their child to hospital after he had a convulsion attack and stopped breathing. The doctors battled for the baby’s life for 5 hours, before finally putting him on oxygen. Then, Mrs Ezenduka quickly remembered that they had the Anointing Water at home. They rushed to get it and used it on the child, praying in Jesus’ name and he regained consciousness straight away. Their baby was revived from death through the power of God in the Anointing Water. The couple encouraged nursing parents to commit their children to the Lord and train them in His way.

According to MRS IFEANYICHUKWU EKEH, her son, Samuel was not sick or asthmatic but in the night, she heard him give a deep grunt and when she came to him, found that he was dead, his mouth was closed and foam was coming out from beneath his teeth. His eyes turned upwards and he had stopped breathing. They received him at a nearby hospital and fitted him with oxygen. “I applied the Anointing Water and he soon sneezed and asked, “Mummy, what are we doing here?” as he removed the oxygen pipes from his nose. Since then, he has not been having any such incident in the night. When asked for her advice, Mrs Ekeh said that on discovering her son’s condition, she knelt down and offered this prayer, “I am only a caretaker; this is Your son, Lord.  Come and take control” and He did! She advised people to trust in God for He is good, faithful and never said goodbye.

DELIVERED, ESTABLISHED AND HUGELY BLESSED!

Mrs Agnes Akah told her amazing testimony of being rescued from a 37 year alcohol addiction which had controlled her life: “I came to The SCOAN in April 2012 and received the Anointing Water. Before I did, my past was nothing to write home about. I was a complete drunkard. I was drinking to the extent that if my paycheck came, my first thought was to go and buy beer. At times, I would forget that I had not left anything for my children to eat at home. I had this alcohol addiction since 1980. I went to the village and took a lot of alcohol that time. When I got home, I collapsed in front of my children. They took me inside the house and I was wondering what had happened to me. In 37 years of drinking, I could afford up to nine bottles a day. It affected my family because I would spend my children’s school fees on the beer or I would forget to send things for my children, whether food, drink or anything they needed. I didn’t even used to eat normally but just drink alcohol. Since I used the Anointing Water and prayed for Jesus to rescue me, I have not had the urge to drink alcohol or know anything about alcohol”. Not only that, Mrs Agnes Akah also used the Anointing Water on her yam seeds, her occupation being farming. Now, she is blessed with a miracle harvest of amazingly huge yams.

HEART SET FREE FROM CALYPSO, POSEIDON, HADES

Mr Heart Christopher from Cross River, Nigeria stood before the world to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for his deliverance from the spirit of Calypso, the goddess of all the islands, Poseidon, the god of water and Hades, the god of the underworld. He said it all started in university, when he picked up and began reading a book about the ancient Greek mythology. Once jovial and happy, his character became bitter towards those around him and he began to isolate himself. He started being taken to the underworld in visions and dreams where he would interact with these false, evil spirits. When he was about to take a sports test at school and was lying in his room, he suddenly saw a beautiful woman above him, saying that she was Calypso, goddess of all the islands and that he belonged to her. Each of these mythological spirits would appear to him on different occasions, in different ways. If he dreamt about Poseidon, the god of water, his bed would be wet with water. These evil spirits in his life threatened his otherwise brilliant basketball career. Mr Heart was taken to many hospitals for the affliction he received in his stomach from the demons. The demons caused an intestinal obstruction which led to multiple operations and the excruciating condition of not being able to pass faeces. His father spent over 20 million on his health but still the problem defied medical expertise. He was finally advised to go for surgery in India where he underwent another serious operation where his belly button was removed. During this time, the Anointing Water and his father’s visits to The SCOAN had kept him alive despite the plans of the evil spirits to kill him. Heart explained that ever since his deliverance after the prayer of Wise Man Christopher in the power of the Holy Spirit, he has been sleeping well without any nightmares or anger.  He advised the youth and those in university to be careful of the books that they were reading as satan can manipulate anything. Now delivered, he is looking forward to a brilliant future and destiny.

SCOAN – A REFUGE FOR ALL NATIONS 

Particularly touching that Sunday was the case of a Mongolian lady who arrived at The SCOAN from Abia, Nigeria at 11pm claiming that she had escaped from her husband’s house. When asked why she had run away, SUMIYA ENKHMAA insisted albeit without any evidence for her accusations that he had been maltreating her and the two children she had for him. The SCOAN took them in and had been trying to contact the husband and their family to achieve some reconciliation. With all effort to contact the husband proving abortive, the ministry then had to make attempts to repatriate the lady and send her back to her family in Mongolia. Circumstances being what they are, Mongolia has no embassy in Nigeria and the nearest one was located in Egypt. By the grace of God, the embassy was contacted and acknowledged that it had been made aware of the case by the woman some time ago but was unable to support her due to the difficulty and isolation of her situation. In light of the ministry’s eagerness to assist the woman, the embassy would be willing to cooperate in the matter. She said she had been watching Emmanuel TV while in Abia and that it was six of her neighbours that contributed the money for her to come to The SCOAN for help. When the ministry was unable to contact the man in question over two weeks, the case was put on air as a form of appeal for the woman’s husband to come and contact the church. However, if reconciliation was not an option, the ministry would sponsor the woman and her children to fly back to Mongolia.

 

PROPHETIC VINDICATION

Dr Samuel Efetobor stepped forward accompanied by his family to narrate his receiving a prophecy from the man of God, T.B. Joshua that a woman close to him had been accused of being a witch. As the head of the family since the early death of their father, Dr Efetobor had been the breadwinner of the family, sponsoring all his siblings through school until the level they were today. In accord with the prophecy, he spoke of how his water and hotel businesses alongside his political career had all run down and all fingers were pointing to a woman, his first wife to whom he was married for 30 years, as the cause of the downfall. The first wife of Mr Efetobor was present as was his second wife, married 11 years into the trouble in the home as the explanation unfurled. The first wife, who stood accused of witchcraft, was declared innocent by the prophetic revelation of Prophet T.B. Joshua who explained that it was nothing but the trap of satan to destroy the peace and unity in the family. Saying that it was too early to pass any judgement on the situation of the natural side of their marriage, the man of God extended his invitation to the children of the first wife, none of whom were in attendance at the church to allow the complete settlement of the issue and the replacement of the bitterness within them with the sweetness of God’s grace to take place over the coming week.

LURKING IDOL REVEALED BY PROPHECY

Pastor Edward Irabor, gave testimony of his spectacular deliverance which began with the prophecy of Prophet T.B. Joshua that an idol entered him at primary school age. He confirmed that it was the spirit of the idol his grandfather used to serve which had entered him. A time came when he drank the blood of a dog to gain power and the spirit of the idol began manifesting in his life. Battling under the influence of the demonic idol, he sought divine solution and became an usher an usher in his local church. He was promoted from an usher to deacon to pastor. Still not delivered from the idol, he used to beat his wife, drink alcohol and borrow money. The idol had ensured that no one in their family had a settled home. He said he had a dream where he saw Prophet T.B. Joshua protected him from a group of masquerades which were chasing him. When he asked the man of God what he had used to rout the attackers, he told him it was Jesus Christ. He was later delivered during the service after prayer from Wise Man John Chi, in the name of Jesus Christ. Since his deliverance, he no longer had the craving for beer or alcohol or the urge to beat his wife in anger. His wife testified that previously he used to beat her and that he did not pray or read the Bible. To clarify the severity of her husband’s affliction, Mrs Irabor told viewers how he was often in a drunken stupor to the degree of going to drink and forgetting where he parked his motorbike. Someone else would bring the bike home to the man from the beer parlour. After his deliverance, she confirmed that he doesn’t drink or beat her any more. Following his deliverance, the man of God assured him that they would seek the face of the Lord concerning his calling and direction.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR LIFE, WHAT DO YOU SEE?

 During Prophet T.B. Joshua’s message on Saturday, he asked a significant question,

“When you look at your life, what do you see? What does Jesus see?” Adding that if you examine your life, you will find out how much faith in God you have – Food for thought!

 

 

THE PRINCIPLES OF MAINTENANCE – WISE MAN DANIEL

Wise Man Daniel gave an inspiring message titled, ‘The Principles Of Maintenance’. In his message, he used the example of blind Bartimaeus to talk
about how we can maintain our blessings from God. He said that when people are sick and in need of healing, they promise Heaven and earth but do little or nothing when they are healed. He said that there is healing, blessing and deliverance in God’s Word. When we are delivered, blessed and healed, we should be ruled by God’s Word so that it shall remain permanent.

 

ANOINTING WATER TESTIMONIES

 

BEDWETTING SINCE BIRTH

Precious, from Libya shared a powerful testimony of how she was delivered from the terrible problem of bedwetting which she had from birth. Aged 32, she said the problem of bedwetting had caused her two marital breakups, constant shame and embarrassment and regular thoughts of committing suicide which had robbed her of her social life. In her own words, “I wet my bed every single day of my life; whether I slept in the morning, afternoon or night, so far as I closed my eyes, I must wet my bed.” She was unable to sleep outside of her home due to the shame and indignity that accompanied the terrible affliction. Precious had visited various churches, spiritualists and witchdoctors for a solution but none was forthcoming. Even when she attended a crusade for prayer for the problem, she bedwet that night in the presence of the large crowd gathered!

Precious testimony started the day someone introduced her to Emmanuel TV whilst she was in Libya. Whilst watching Emmanuel TV, she saw a couple who was delivered from the same problem she had after they ministered the Anointing Water. Inspired by these testimonies, she continued to pray along with Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV. Then, one night, she had a remarkable dream. A strange man, who had been appearing to her since the age of 12, came with a knife to attack her and cut her in the throat. Then, suddenly, two of the wise men appeared, holding the Anointing Water in their hands. They sprayed the Anointing Water on Precious and the wound immediately closed up and the giant man ran away. Ever since that divine encounter, all traces of bedwetting in the life of Precious completely stopped. She began sleeping freely for the first time in her life and decided to travel all the way from Libya to The SCOAN in Lagos, Nigeria to testify to the world about her remarkable deliverance.

GOD REWARDS THE OBEDIENT

Mr Timothy Jacob was an ordinary banker in his country in Cameroon. He had experienced stagnancy in his career, being in the same position for 14 years. Things were not moving and were difficult for him and his family. He came to The SCOAN and received the Anointing Water. He said that before ministering it, the Holy Spirit spoke to his heart that he should take good care of pregnant women, handicapped people and the needy who come to the bank he works in and that he should give them special attention. He obeyed the instruction in righteousness. Three months after ministering the Anointing Water and obeying God’s instructions, he was awarded ‘The Best Western Union Operator Of The Year’ in Western Africa. He was also promoted to the position of an Accounts Manager.

THE CYCLE OF POVERTY BROKEN!

Mr Anthony Orji was passing through a cycle of poverty, backwardness and failure that had left his business in tatters and his finances crumbling. He was unable to even pay the house rent for himself and his family and was facing the prospects of being thrown out of his home. To feed his family was a challenging task and the future seemed bleak. However, when a friend introduced him to Emmanuel TV, his fortunes began to change. Mr Orji decided to visit The SCOAN and was privileged to receive the Anointing Water. After ministering it, a radical transformation took place! His business began to change as customers started coming from far and wide. Merely seven months after his visit to The SCOAN, Mr Orji had built his own house, which he proudly showed the picture of. Six months later, blessings continued to flow and he was given two new plots of land! Aside from this blessing in his business, his wife who was experiencing an overdue pregnancy, safely delivered her child after calling the Emmanuel TV Prayer Line. Glory be to God!

ALCOHOL ADDICTION EXPELLED BY ANOINTING WATER

Mr Tawah Samuel, a Cameroonian, was a chronic drunkard. He used to drink eight bottles of beer every single day. After his boss at work met him drunk at work on three separate occasions, he was sacked from his work. All of the money he earned or was given ended up being spent on alcohol. It was an addiction he simply couldn’t stop by himself. However, after seeing similar testimonies of deliverance from drunkenness on Emmanuel TV, Mr Samuel decided to visit The SCOAN to receive the Anointing Water. The day he ministered the Anointing Water was the last day he tasted or touched alcohol! He said that immediately after ministering it, the urge for all alcoholic beverages vanished. Mr Tawah, speaking from his own personal experiences in life, advised the young people to be careful of alcohol and to stay close to God.

 

DIVINE PROTECTION

Mr Okonkwo Ugochukwu from Imo State, Nigeria, whilst travelling from Delta to Lagos, encountered a group of armed robbers who stopped the bus he was travelling in. Before embarking on that journey, he had ministered the Anointing Water, as was his usual habit. The armed robbers commanded all the passengers in the bus to come down from the bus but strangely left him alone in the bus. The bandits collected all of the money and belongings of others in the bus but didn’t demand anything from him. It was as if he was invisible to the armed robbers who were there. After the armed robbers had left, he was the only one whose possessions were secure. When a fellow passenger asked to use his phone after the armed robbers had left, he saw that the picture of Prophet T.B. Joshua was on the screen. The rest of the passengers said they understood why Mr Ugochukwu was untouched, since he had ministered the Anointing Water and served the God of Prophet T.B. Joshua. He advised people to always be prayerful when embarking on any journey and to minister the Anointing Water, asking for God’s grace and protection.

A MIRACULOUS REFUND!

Mr Steven, a Ghanaian businessman who had partners in China wanted to send a large amount of money across to China.  However, unbeknown to him, internet hackers had accessed his email account and knew he was planning to send the money. The hackers deceptively sent a different bank account to him, pretending to be his business partners. Mr Steven sent a total of $70,000 to the fraudsters account. It was only after a meeting on Skype on the internet with his business partners that Mr Steven realised what had happened. The case was reported to the police but they said there was nothing they could do as the money had already been received and accounted for. Mr Steven travelled to China to try and rectify the situation and meet his business partners but the bank said there was nothing they could do since already the money had fallen into wrong hands. However, Mr Steven prayed in faith and ministered the Anointing Water, in Jesus’ name upon all the relevant documents with him and went into a meeting with the bank in China and his business partners. To his greatest surprise, the money was refunded to him – an almost unheard of occurrence. To God be the glory!

 

A FORCE STRONGER THAN FIRE!

When Mrs Obichere Pat heard the news, she was left in stunned shock. She was told that fire had started in her compound and her house was seen going up in flames. Rushing home, she discovered that a miraculous incident had occurred. The fire had completely consumed her generator and surrounding buildings but suddenly stopped at the door of her house. Why? Because the Anointing Sticker was placed on the door! Mrs Obichere explained that there were many electrical appliances within the house that would have gone up easily in flames but the fire stopped without any logical explanation at the foot of her door. Truly, we are sheltered under the shadow of God’s protection.

A CAR REBELLING AGAINST ITS ROBBERS!

Mrs Happiness Nwabor was among the thousands of congregants in The SCOAN who received the Anointing Water. Strengthened in her faith by the testimonies of others, she resolved to minister the Anointing Water every day before embarking on any journey. On a fateful day, Mrs Happiness was travelling in her car with her children when unknown gunmen attacked her. The gunmen treated her mercilessly and threatened to kill her. In the midst of the ordeal, she was praying, ‘God of T.B. Joshua, save me!’ Whenever the gunmen heard this prayer, they commanded her to be quiet.

The bandits instructed her to leave the car and demanded for the keys. In their attempt to steal the car, a wonderful miracle happened! Astonishingly, the car that had been working well suddenly stopped working the moment the gunmen entered it to try and steal it. For over one hour, the car ceased to work, despite all of the efforts of the assailants. Eventually, the gunmen ran away, confused at what had happened. When the gunmen had left the vicinity, Mrs Nwabor checked the vehicle and it was in perfect working order! She drove off safely with all of her children, who had been hiding in the bush during the incident. What a mighty God we serve!

ARM AMPUTATION CANCELLED THROUGH EMMANUEL TV!

Mrs Esther Iwuala was involved in a ghastly accident that left her unconscious and in a critical condition. A good samaritan rushed her to a hospital where she was taken to the emergency clinic. Wounds covered her body, especially her arm which was literally reduced to flesh and bones. Upon all medical efforts, the wound refused to heal. The doctors told Mrs Iwuala to prepare herself for the amputation of her arm, stating that this was the only medical solution.  Hopeless and isolated, Mrs Iwuala cried herself to sleep that night. The doctors gave her seven days before the amputation was to take place.

During that week, Mrs Iwuala began watching Emmanuel TV in the hospital. On the night before her arm was to be amputated, she asked for the assistance of the nurses to get up. They had no idea what her plan was. She asked them to bring her close to the television where Emmanuel TV was playing and lift her arm up to the screen to touch it. She repeated this act of faith three times, as Prophet T.B. Joshua was praying for the viewers. The medical staff were making jest of her, not knowing that a mighty miracle was taking place!

The next day, the doctor who was to conduct the operation was unable to come for the appointment. Mrs Iwuala pleaded with the nurses to replace the bandages on her arm, stating that she was feeling a strange warm sensation running throughout it. Reluctantly, the nurses replaced the bandages. When the doctor came to perform the amputation surgery a few days later, as the bandages were removed, the medical personnel there were shocked to discover that the wound had dried up!!! Utterly astonished at the transformation of her arm, the amputation was cancelled and just a few weeks later, Mrs Iwuala was released from the hospital, her arm completely restored, with only a scar remaining. The medical practitioner who was in charge of her case said that in his fifty years of medical experience, he had never witnessed such a miraculous recovery. Thank You, Jesus Christ!

WALKING FROM THE WHEELCHAIR

Miss Alice Kwaje Williams came all the way from South Sudan to The SCOAN with a life-threatening situation. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a very active form of bone cancer that led her to be confined to a wheelchair. Medically speaking, the only option given was for them to amputate her leg. Once a bright university student in Uganda, she was facing the prospects of life without one of her legs. The situation was so critical that she could not put any weight whatsoever on her leg or move it an inch. After being booked for an amputation, Alice and her mum returned to South Sudan to meet with her family. The family, having watched Emmanuel TV, resolved that the only solution was to bring her to The SCOAN in Nigeria. Coming from a very poor home, they were financially crippled due to the amount of money her father had already spent on her hospital treatments. More than 100 people came together to contribute enough money for her and her parents to travel to The SCOAN in Lagos, Nigeria. Even the way she got her visa to Nigeria was miraculous. Her parents were told that it was impossible for a visa to be granted for a temporary passport. However, when they saw Alice’s condition and learned that she was coming to The SCOAN, they decided to issue her the visa immediately.

Even before her journey to The SCOAN, Mrs Williams had a dream where Prophet T.B. Joshua approached her and said, ‘Mama, don’t worry, your daughter is already healed.’ That strengthened their faith all the more. Upon arriving in The SCOAN, Alice was arranged at the prayer line. As Wise Man Daniel prayed for her, Mrs Williams said that she saw a bright white light envelop her daughter and she knew that the moment of healing had come. Immediately after the prayer, Alice began to walk for the first time in six months! She has since stayed two weeks in The SCOAN, spending time in God’s presence and recovering her strength. After hearing of the amount of people who came together to contribute towards her journey to The SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua compassionately gave the family $3,000, to their greatest shock and surprise. The testimony ended with the family joyously dancing together.  There are no natural words to describe it except to say, ‘Thank You, Jesus.’

WHEN GOD SPEAKS THE WISE LISTEN

The man of God spoke concerning the accurate football prophecies he had given in the past and more recent times. He said when God speaks, the wise listen. The man of God replayed video footage of a football prophecy he gave concerning Nigeria and Guinea in 2011 and the fulfilment of that prophecy. As a communicator between the visible and invisible, Prophet T.B. Joshua watched the game of the Africa Cup of Nations between Nigeria and Guinea in a vision before the match was actually played. He said in 2011, that the game would not be favourable for Nigeria and that whoever scored first would win the game. It happened just as he had seen it in the vision God gave him; Nigeria did not qualify for the Africa Cup Of Nations in 2011.

Prophet T.B. Joshua asked God what he could do and God instructed him to pray and fast for three days, which he did and God showed him the way. After he had fasted and prayed, God told him that Nigeria would smile again. A week before the Africa Cup of Nations final match between Nigeria and Burkina Faso, 2013, Prophet T.B. Joshua singularly prophesied that Nigeria would win and this prophecy was published in a popular Nigerian newspaper, PM News, a week before the match took place! Indeed, Nigeria smiled as they took the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa this year, 2013!

ALL NATIONS PRAY

The Saturday and Sunday services at The SCOAN , February 9-10, 2013, were attended by people with a passion for the presence of God from all over the world. The services were marked by the astounding healings and hard-hitting deliverances in Jesus’ name, sounding a strong spiritual wake up call to an unbelieving generation wallowing in the gloom of their circumstances and adding to the continual joy of those being saved. The Sunday programme anchored on prophecies to individuals as revealed by Prophet T.B. Joshua and the laying on of hands by the Wise Men, punctuated by glorious testimonies given by diverse people to attest to the touch of God in their lives.

During the Sunday service, Prophet T.B. Joshua addressed issues peculiar to different countries and people the world over, with many lessons of life to be gleaned from the experiences of individuals concerned and for the sharpening of the like precious faith. He had, in last weeks’ service, asked the congregants to bring to church small flags of their countries for special prayers. They had obeyed and his prayer centred specifically on the socio-political and economic travails in many countries of the world in contemporary times.

Prophet Joshua said that he carried, “the flags of all nations in my heart.” He said Emmanuel TV would rebroadcast the prayer so that people could connect to it and join him to pray for their own land and people. The flags are a symbol and for contact to the nations worldwide and that the congregation should return their flags to their personal altars hereafter for continued supplication.

The man of God mentioned some of the well known ills of society such as injustice, robbery, occultism, corruption, exploitation, child kidnapping and murder, shedding innocent blood, tribal conflicts and political misrule and mismanagement to clearly illustrate the reasons why there was need for prayer for the nations.

Using Jeremiah 1:10 as a proof text, he said representatives of each country had a duty to look up to God for solutions to their particular travails. He asked the believers and viewers all over the world a soul-searching question, “Everybody wants prosperity but how many are ready to do the work of prosperity?” adding that people needed to be honest and sincere in all they do in order to achieve God’s kind of success. His prayers for the nations took the form of a kind of confession. He asked the worshippers worldwide to take the points raised, one by one which were applicable to their nation and seek the Lord Jesus in broken-heartedness. “We are here today to confess all the sins and wrongs of the lands of our ancestors, leaders and the people. We plead for forgiveness and mercy in the name of Jesus.” The prophet prayed that the Lord should save the nations from destruction and judgement. He also prayed, “Lord Jesus, redeem our nations, lands, continents and countries of all the sins we confess and the ones we have not mentioned” – a reference to the body of evils and immoral conducts which he had already listed.

Prophet Joshua also prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ in humility and faith, declaring “I command all the forces of darkness hindering the move of God in our lands, be cast out, in Jesus’ name. We ask for Your deliverance and healing power on our countries.”

A summary of the spectacular testimonies given to glorify the Lord Jesus and admonish believers all over the world to remain steadfast to the hope they had been entrusted with, are as follows:

Mr Paul worked in an oil and gas industry. One day, an accident occurred and his leg was burnt with fire. They rushed him to the hospital and the doctors said they needed to amputate his leg. He explained the situation to his friend who came to the hospital with Anointing Water he had received from The SCOAN. After ministering the Anointing Water in Jesus’ name, his leg started to itch. Suddenly, two live maggots came out of his leg. He discovered that as the maggots left, the pain also stopped. The fire burns quickly began to heal and the doctor confirmed that he no longer needed an amputation. To God be the glory – He is the Repairer and Restorer!

Mr Moses, aged 27, came to The SCOAN in need of deliverance from a life of smoking, drinking and patronizing prostitutes. He had begun smoking at the young age of 7 years old. This had caused him severe chest pain and nightmares in which people came to beat him in his dreams. One day, a friend came to him with the Anointing Water, advising that he needed a change in his life. He encouraged Mr Moses by telling him that if he put his trust in Jesus Christ, God would wash away his sins and wipe the stain of guilt away from his life. With this belief in his heart, he prayed and ministered the Anointing Water, in Jesus’ name. After prayer, he slept. The next morning, he reached for his morning cigarette. To his surprise, the smell of the cigarette irritated him. He tried smoking but could not. It has now been over three months and he has not once smoked, had a drink of any alcohol or visited prostitutes. He gives glory to God and encourages the youth that no matter the lifestyle they have engaged in, Jesus Christ can set them free!

Mr Amos Augustine shared a fantastic testimony of how our God, Jesus Christ rescues, saves and delivers. He said that he always ministered the Anointing Water before going to work and carried the Anointing Water with him wherever he went. One morning, he was attacked by armed robbers. They were threatening his life and property. As the armed robbers collected his wallet, they began shouting that the wallet was burning their hands and threw the wallet back at him demanding that he should open the wallet! Mr Augustine then opened the wallet to see what had caused the fire burns and the Anointing Sticker fell out! Shocked, the armed robbers started shouting and ran off. Truly, God can use any medium to rescue His children!

Mr Peter, a soldier serving his country, Nigeria told his wonderful testimony of how Jesus Christ had healed him through the Anointing Water from a terrible liver problem. He was in terrible pain and discomfort as he had been diagnosed with liver enlargement which caused a swollen stomach. The problem was so severe that he was booked for an operation. Believing for a miracle, he received the Anointing Water and ministered it, in Jesus’ name. The next day, he began vomiting and black substances came out of his system. To his surprise, his stomach became normal! He went back to the doctor and was confirmed to be perfectly healthy. There was no trace of an enlarged liver. The astonished doctor asked him, “Which medication did you use?” Replying with a smile, Mr Peter responded that it was God’s doing through the Anointing Water. Glory to God! Speaking to the congregation, he said, “God has given me another opportunity. He has given me another chance. Doctors can treat; only Jesus can heal.”

In his own words, Mr Zira Yohana, an agent in the petroleum industry, was a “professional drunkard”. He said he could drink between five to six cartons of alcohol a day. For 17 years, he was inflicted with the severe problem of intoxication and lamented how he used to beat his wife after drinking alcohol. He also said that nobody could ‘out drink’ him when it came to alcohol. One day, he told his friend about his bad habit and his friend gave him the Anointing Water. After ministering the Anointing Water, the urge to drink alcohol left him completely. His life has been radically transformed and he is now an example to all. He advised everyone to seek forgiveness from God in order to stop their bad habits.

Mr Samson from Cameroon ran an organization that cared for widows and orphans. They occupied a building where their charitable activities were held. One day, they were reported to the authorities by a group of people who claimed they were inhabiting the building illegally. As a result of this report, everyone in the organization was arrested and put in prison. He appealed the court’s decision many times but his attempts to gain his freedom were to no avail. He knew that he had been imprisoned innocently. In prison, he had the opportunity to view Emmanuel TV. He began to watch it regularly and prayed along with Prophet T.B. Joshua. He repeated the prayer point of the man of God who stated that all who were imprisoned by contrary forces should be released, in Jesus’ name. Believing that his prayer had been answered, he sent another appeal to the magistrate for release. Three days later, the magistrate called him and gave him a letter of release! He says that if he had not been watching Emmanuel TV and joining the anointed prayer with Prophet T.B. Joshua, he would still be in prison today. He advised all who found themselves in desperate situations to look to Jesus Christ for their freedom and vindication. He is the freedom provider!

Mr Nnadozie was a chain smoker for 16 years. This caused him serious chest pain, heart burn and cough. He spent a fortune on cigarettes as he smoked 5 packs a day. He would go to church with cigarettes and excuse himself during the service to smoke. He would even go to the restroom with cigarettes! The day he resolved to give up, the urge actually increased and he smoked 10 packs! The problem became worse. When he came to The SCOAN, he was also carrying a packet of cigarettes with him. For some reason, however, he did not feel the urge to smoke throughout the entire service. He received the Anointing Water and ministered it, in Jesus’ name after the service. A moment later, he tried to light a cigarette but felt like acid was running down his throat. He started to vomit black substances and from that moment on, the urge to smoke disappeared! Thanking God for the wonderful miracle, he said that even the smell of smoke irritates him now. Surely there is nothing Jesus cannot do.

Pastor and Mrs Patrick shared their incredible testimony. Mrs Patricia Patrick had suffered not one but two ectopic pregnancies that had been very traumatic for her. In the course of this problem, she underwent an operation and both of her fallopian tubes were removed, making it medically impossible for her to conceive.  Still believing that God would show Himself strong in her seemingly hopeless situation, Pastor Patrick came to The SCOAN and received the Anointing Water. She prayed together with her husband, ministered the Anointing Water in Jesus’ name and the mother of miracles happened! After prayer, they met as husband and wife and Mrs Patrick became pregnant! They went to the hospital for a checkup and the doctors were amazed to find that both of the fallopian tubes had been totally restored!  Full of joy, Mrs Patrick told the viewers and congregation, “My advice to women who might have lost hope: The same God who restored my two tubes which were cut off, shall surely visit you, in Jesus’ name”.

Mr Joseph Genesis shared his testimony of God’s supernatural protection through the medium of the Anointing Water. He suddenly found himself caught in a surprise attack from armed robbers. Seven armed men descended on him and pulled out guns to kill him, not knowing that he was armed with a superior weapon! That morning, he had ministered the Anointing Water on his body before leaving his house. He stated that the power of God in the Anointing Water created a protective shield over him and due to the Anointing Water, the bullets that were fired on him could not enter him! The armed robbers could not believe their eyes. Filled with courage at the supernatural protection, Mr Joseph began to spray the Anointing Water towards the armed robbers and they ran away in defeat. Proudly showing himself to the world that he had escaped without a scratch, Mr Joseph said, “The Anointing Water is a bullet to the wicked, evil spirits!”

Chief Superintendant of Police John Mark, a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Anambra, Nigeria came out to testify how God had touched the lives of police men in his division after he shared with them the Anointing Water he had received at The SCOAN. Two of his police officers accompanied him to The SCOAN to share their testimonies. Mr Sunday Idris, a policemen under CSP John Mark, had suffered from the embarrassing affliction of bedwetting for two years. When he received the Anointing Water, he prayed, believing that God would put an end to his suffering. After that prayer, he testified that that chain of affliction had been broken and bedwetting was a thing of the past in his life! Mr Phillip then came forward with his wife and twins, Emmanuel and Emmanuela to thank God for the miraculous release of their son Emmanuel after he was kidnapped. Armed robbers took the child and later called, demanding a ransom of N20million, an impossible amount of money for Mr Phillip to raise. The father ran straight to his DPO, John Mark. In response to the devastating news, Mr Mark gave him the Anointing Water and told him to minister it in faith, in Jesus’ name. One day after he ministered the Anointing Water in prayer, local police were given a tip off to the robber’s location. Emmanuel was recovered uninjured that very day and returned to his parents! A national Nigerian newspaper covered the story of the robber’s capture, terming Emmanuel’s release as ‘miraculous’!

Mrs Ogwe Juliet, a Nigerian living in Cameroon told the world of her amazing testimony of how the Anointing Water had saved her from an armed robbery operation while onboard a ship from Cameroon to Nigeria. When the ship alarm was raised, alerting that thieves were in their midst, Mrs Juliet quickly remembered the Anointing Water and sprayed it over herself, in Jesus’ name. The ship was in a state of confusion as the thieves were robbing everyone in the ship. Amazingly, Mrs Ogwe Juliet was left in peace as the armed robbers seemed not to even notice her. A man who was also present on the ship took his money out of his pockets and placed it on top of one of Prophet T.B. Joshua’s sermons which he had received from The SCOAN. He offered it to the armed robbers, saying, “Here is my money; take it” but the armed robbers refused to take his money! Speaking to the congregation and viewers, Mrs Ogwe Juliet said, “Don’t call it ordinary water; it is anointed. There is power in it – the power of God. The power of God is above all powers”.

Mr Azawei Alanuene, a university lecturer, gave his testimony of how God had taken him from a nobody to somebody. Eating from hand to mouth for 10 years, his life was a constant struggle but when he ministered the Anointing Water in Jesus’ name, his destiny turned around! After prayer, he was suddenly called by his supervisor and told that he had been granted a scholarship to further his research by studying a PhD in The University of Nottingham, UK. He travelled to the UK for the course, continued ministering the Anointing Water over himself and his coursework and conducted ground breaking research in his specialized area. To his surprise, he was selected to present the findings of his PhD research in an international conference in China.  Glory be to God!

Mr Waziri from Taraba, Nigeria was addicted to drinking alcohol for 17 years and could drink up to 14 bottles a day. He did not see the need or have the desire to stop but one day after watching Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV prophesying to a man about the very same drinking problem, he realized his need for freedom.  As Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed for the viewers, he stretched his hand and touched the screen in prayer. Instantly, the desire to drink left him and he was completely delivered in the power of the Holy Spirit. After that prayer, everything about his life was transformed. His health, business, marriage and joy were restored! Even his appearance changed as his once large belly, due to excessive drinking, shrunk back to normal. Advising those who are desperately in need of a solution, he quoted the words of Prophet T.B. Joshua, saying, “If you have run out of rope, it is time to grab onto faith!”  Hallelujah! There is no bad habit, addiction or negative lifestyle that cannot be broken, conquered and defeated by Jesus Christ!

All in all, we are reminded that the main thing about Christianity is not the work we do for God but the relationship we maintain and the atmosphere produced by that relationship. Our work for God is a reflection of our relationship with Him. We should therefore, take time to develop our relationship with the Holy Spirit by daily reading our Bibles with devotion and making the Word of God the standard for our lives.
