Examples of Divine Favor Throught Bible

Divine favor does not belong to all but only to the elect, and as a child of the Most High God you are legally in line for an outpouring of divine favor and promotion that is coming your way. But you must first apply these biblical principles to receive it.
For example, divine favor rested on the life of Abraham, yet none of his family experienced it. His father, Terah, and all his family that stayed in Haran did not know God’s favor (Genesis 11). Abraham was blessed and favored because he was chosen (Genesis 12:1-3).
And that favor was seen repeatedly in Abraham’s life. There are so many examples in Scripture. When he went down to Egypt, he had favor with the pharaoh (Genesis 12). When he fought against the forces that captured his nephew Lot (Genesis 14), Abraham was given divine favor and victory.
Divine favor rested on his son Isaac, but Isaac’s half-brother Ishmael did not know the same favor. Isaac was blessed beyond measure during one of the worst famines of his day. Even though he sowed seed during drought, he received a hundredfold return (Genesis 26:12).
Think about it—he received a hundredfold return in the midst of famine, even though those around him remained in drought! Now that is real favor. And everywhere Isaac turned he prospered, so much so that Abimelech, king of the Philistines, said to Isaac:

“Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we” (Genesis 26:16).

How about Jacob, whom God favored instead of his brother Esau:

“Yet I loved Jacob, and I hated Esau” (Malachi 1:2-3).

Why would God set his heart on one brother and not another? Favor.
In fact, amazing favor rested upon Jacob repeatedly throughout his life. He escaped the wrath of his own brother and the trickery and mistreatment of his uncle Laban. Jacob left Isaac’s house empty and came back one of the richest men of his day.
Favor also rested on Joseph, Jacob’s son, in such a supernatural way that he was promoted in Egypt when Pharaoh had never seen him before. He was unknown to the ruler of the most powerful nation in the region, yet Joseph was given such favor that Pharaoh handed him control over the land!
Favor rested on Moses to such an extent that he was favored by Pharaoh’s daughter, who prepared the infant as he grew up for his life’s historic mission.
Favor rested on Israel when they left Egypt to such a degree that they literally took all the riches of Egypt (Exodus 12:36). The Bible says they “spoiled,” or took all the wealth, not just part of it.
God’s supernatural and divine favor rested on David as he defeated Goliath and later was given the kingdom while being protected repeatedly against his enemies. God even called David “a man after his own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14). Divine favor rested on Solomon and God restored him in the end.
So much favor rested on the life of Job that God restored twice what was taken from him.
God’s favor rested on the prophets so amazingly that when Nebuchadnezzar seized Jerusalem in 586 B.C., he ordered that Jeremiah be freed from prison and treated well.
The list of examples of divine favor is endless!
Even our precious Lord Jesus, who escaped harm time after time, experienced His Father’s divine favor.
The apostles were favored by the people and the authorities could not touch them or stop them from preaching the Gospel. Paul the apostle was given favor by the Romans themselves and protected from death when the Jews tried to kill him. He was rescued more than once, with God preserving his life repeatedly.
God did not favor just those living in Bible days. His tender, loving favor belongs to you just as it did to Daniel:

“Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs” (Daniel 1:9). That same tender favor is what God has promised us, His children.

Claim God’s favor during 2014, in Jesus’ name!

Here’s what you need to know about how divine favor can come and overtake you. Divine favor comes by God’s anointing and is triggered by faith. Divine favor is not the result of luck but of obedience. As the Bible tells us:

“The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” (1 Peter 3:12).

God favors the obedient, the righteous. There is no favor on the sinner. Favor belongs only to the just. Therefore, as God’s child, you’re lawfully in line to be favored and promoted this year. Never forget this—when the devil attacks you, God will always promote you.
Your hour of promotion has come! Your time for favor has come.
Just release your faith, and divine favor will invade your finances. Guaranteed! All you’ve lost will be restored. Guaranteed!
All the enemy has taken from you is coming back double. Guaranteed!
Total restoration and recovery are coming your way. Guaranteed!
You’ve had losses, trials, and pain, but you’ve been in the valley too long. You’ll get back on top. Guaranteed!
All you have to do is release your faith. As you serve Him and give to His work, you ensure the Lord’s favor on your life.
The Word of God promises that only the giver is favored with His blessing:

Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 3:10-12)

This blessing on givers is repeated over and over again in God’s Word. Jesus Himself said:

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38).

Activate God’s Favor in Your Life by Faith

My beloved partner, my heart beats with passionate faith for you, for I know that I know that I know your season and your time for favor have come! God has placed this message on my heart for you in this New Year. Favor is all about timing. It’s all about the righteous season. And I know in the Spirit that this is the season. This is the time for divine favor!
So today, sow your seed for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ with explosive faith. And when you sow seed, be deliberate in your faith, saying, “My time for divine favor has come!”
Declare it by faith!
Your time for divine favor has come!
Write this down—2014 is my time for the anointing of divine favor!—hold on to it and declare it every day!
And as surely as the sun will rise again tomorrow morning, favor will drive all darkness away, and the light of God’s glory will shine on your life!

one million mark on Facebook!

• 

It’s a red-letter day! From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank our partners and ministry friends for helping us reach the one million mark on Facebook!
As I move through my 40th year of ministry, nothing thrills me more than being part of something that truly has the potential for us to fulfill our Lord’s command to

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15)!

And in this day of continuing technological advancements, I’m so excited to share what God is allowing us—you and me—to be part of.
There are many closed doors to the Gospel around the world, but the Internet, despite some censorship in certain countries, is generally a wide-open door, convenient and accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For years this ministry has sought to use our website as a powerful tool for inspiring believers, reaching the lost, and providing life-changing materials to anyone we can reach.
That’s what makes my announcement so exciting! It’s remarkable to see the opportunity to touch the lives of so many every day. One million likes on Facebook points to the strong bond that exists between us, and reaching this milepost moves me very deeply while filling me with appreciation for you and gratefulness to God!
We’ve also moved well over a quarter-million followers on Twitter (@Benny_Hinn) and are very active on other social media sites, including Pinterest, and many more. This widespread social media integration gives us the opportunity to quickly share news, teaching, music, articles, blogs, events, videos, products, pages and anything else that links this ministry with you and people like you around the globe.
It is amazing to see how God is using these means of proclaiming the Gospel and staying in close contact with our precious partners. We are truly reaching out to the nations using every tool and technology so we can

“by all means save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22).

This is historic, and you and I are a part of it! As I use this occasion to express my gratefulness, I also ask you to join me in prayer today for God to continue to multiply our efforts to take the life-saving and miracle-working message of Jesus Christ to the nations!

THE MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY – JESUS’ BLOOD!

Source by thetbjoshuafanclub

Easter celebrations, which started with Palm Sunday last week, culminated into a din of euphoria at The SCOAN on Sunday with visitors, who came from all over the world, worshipping God for the sacrificial Lamb, Jesus Christ. The day, which started with a message of hope and triumph from Wise Man Daniel, blossomed and burst into a frenzy of celebration with the church choir seamlessly blending their choruses with the day’s message. The man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, full with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, stepped to the altar and decreed calmness in people’s lives.
Citing Matthew 8:26, a Scripture depicting how Jesus Christ arose and rebuked the storm on the sea, Prophet T.B. Joshua faced the congregation and prophetically declared: “When we talk of the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, we are talking of a new life, life anew, a new beginning in every area of your life. Be it your health, be it your finances, be it your business, be it your career, you are here to receive a new life. Let there be calmness!” The moving power of the Holy Spirit swept through the congregation, throwing many to the floor and forcing some to vomit out poisonous substances, signifying their rescue from the claws of the devil.
Apart from revealing hidden truths to individuals through prophecy, the man of God spoke to nations and prayed for the world to receive calmness in all sectors. He also ministered to people at the prayer line where God manifested the resurrection power of Jesus Christ by restoring people to what he had created them. Many were healed in the name of Jesus Christ and many more were delivered from contrary spirits.
During the Saturday prophetic service on the previous day, Prophet T.B. Joshua had given a message titled, ‘THE LIFE YOU ENJOY’ which dwelt on the importance of aligning our hearts and mouths with God’s Word. “What kind of life are you enjoying?” Prophet T.B. Joshua asked the congregation. “The words you speak determine the life you enjoy. That is, the words a man speaks create the blessings or curses that come his way. Your mouth is the revealer of the belief in your heart. Talk what you believe. This is the challenge we all have today.” He explained that one may profess Christianity with their mouths and yet not be such in heart. “If heart and mouth get in accord with God’s Word, the blessings of God’s Word begin to be tapped,” he emphasised.
On Sunday, Wise Man Daniel delivered a compelling message celebrating Easter titled: ‘THE MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY’ which was a reflection of Jesus’ life and suffering for the purpose of ‘restoring man’s lost relationship with God.’ He said the wisest decision one can make in life as a Christian is to trust in Jesus Christ.
He said of Jesus, “He stands to be accepted or to be rejected. You can choose to be false to Him if you will or to be faithful to Him through good. The choice is yours. But this is the Gospel truth: Jesus Christ is the only way to peace and comfort while satan is the sure way to bitterness, pain and death. In other words, satan comes to kill, steal and destroy while Jesus Christ comes to give life and life in abundance, through the blood He shed on the cross of Calvary, which is the most precious commodity in the history of mankind”.
Citing various Scriptures such as Colossians 1:19-20, Revelations 5:12 and Matthew 23:37 which all resonate Jesus as being worthy of our faith, affection, devotion, time, money, possession and giving, Wise Man Daniel summed up: “Those who choose to serve the Lord in truth and in faith, those who have resolved in sincerity to make the Lord their keeper, refuge and shelter, shall be delivered from the malice of the powers of darkness. Whatever others say of God, He is our God, Healer, Deliverer, Comforter, Teacher, Counsellor, Intercessor, Friend in life, Redeemer and Partner. Whether He heals me or not, Jesus Christ is the Healer. Don’t change your confession every other day.”

BOMB BLAST SURVIVORS SEE HAND OF GOD

The attack was shocking. When it happened in Abuja that fateful day last week, the scene of the disaster was chaotic. The rescue team had to plough through the rubble of broken glass and mangled metal for any missing limbs. At least 76 people were reported dead on that day and over a hundred seriously injured. Mr Egbe Candidus from Benue State but residing in Abuja would have been one of them if it was not for the merciful hand of God. He and three other people came to separately testify of how God saved them from that fatal bomb blast.
He was travelling to the capital city in a vehicle with some people. When they reached a prominent place called Nyanya, the already noisy junction was shuttered with a big bang that rocked the area like an earthquake. Before he knew it, the car he was travelling in was tossed into the air like a baby’s toy, above human height. When it landed on the ground, he found himself standing outside on the road, completely unhurt. Around him, he saw scores of dead bodies lying on the ground. Human limbs were strewn everywhere. When he got up, he could not believe he was still alive. He felt his pockets and discovered and realized what had just happened, the Mighty hand of God had lifted him up and out of the car in a great manifestation of His wonders.
Before the journey earlier that morning, he had ministered the Anointing Water on himself as was his habit. Fortified, he had placed the bottle of the Anointing Water and the Anointing Sticker in his pocket and God who uses any medium to locate His people, met him at the point of his need. “God can use any medium to express Himself. He has rescued me from a fatal bomb blast through the Anointing Water and Sticker. I would have been a dead man by now,” he said.
On Saturday, during the prophetic live service, Evangelist Maria Ajekukor also testified of how God had wrapped her in His armour against the same bomb explosion. She was on her way to work that morning, when she suddenly realised that she had left the house without her Anointing Sticker. She quickly rushed back to get it, as she never went anywhere without it. When her bus came, she realised that she did not have the correct change required, so the bus continued without her. Little did she know that God was delaying her for a purpose. When she finally reached Nyanya, the spot of the attack, everyone was running helter-skelter. At a closer look, she discovered that the very first bus she was about to enter, was one of those hit by the explosion. She saw dead bodies scattered everywhere and limbs that had been torn off people’s bodies. She could not help but shed tears of gratitude as she narrated how God’s hand had held her back to save her from death. “Make sure you carry with you the Anointing Sticker and minister the Anointing Water all the time,” was her advice.

CHRONIC KIDNEY PROBLEM DEMOLISHED

Thirty-seven year-old Anthonia Edozie was staring death in the face. She had a chronic kidney problem which gave her excruciating pain. Each time the pain came, she would have difficulties walking and her body would swell. Her doctor, who said she was born with the problem, advised her to go to Egypt for an operation but she could not imagine herself going under the knife. She was determined to hang on and wait for a better way out. Unfortunately, the longer she hesitated on the operation, the worse her condition became. Her brother invited her to South Africa where he took her to hospital for a scan. The doctors were alarmed at the severity of her problem as her kidneys were failing. She was immediately booked for an operation. Still, she could not stomach the idea. She prayed to God to heal her and told Him that she would not go for the operation.
Her sister introduced her to Emmanuel TV where she saw a testimony of a man being healed through the medium of the Anointing Water. This lifted her faith. She sent her brother to collect a bottle of the Anointing Water, which she ministered in faith. Immediately, she said, the pain disappeared together with every symptom! She could do things she was not able to do before. Believing she was healed, she went back to the hospital where she had another scan. It showed that her kidney had returned to normal. Excited and relieved that the life-threatening disease had left her, she exercised herself before the congregation, demonstrating her perfect healing in Christ Jesus. She advised, “There is no problem bigger than our Lord Jesus. Trust in Him, believe in Him and He will meet you at the point of your need”.

FIBROIDS SURRENDER TO POWERS FROM ABOVE

Fibroids have fast become one of the most common afflictions tormenting women and, when Judith Kuzilwa from Tanzania discovered she had become victim, she was depressed. What started simple with internal heat surged into severe pain she could no longer bear. To her utter disbelief, doctors told her that she had not one but two fibroids. She went back home to digest the bad news. Two months later, she went back to the doctor for another scan and she was told the fibroids had doubled in size and that the only solution was to go for an operation. Thank God, she had seen many people delivered from the problem through the Anointing Water. She received hers from a close friend and ministered it in Jesus’ name. When she went back to the hospital for another test, the results confirmed that Jesus Christ is indeed the great Physician. She no longer had fibroids! She was healed from a problem that had tormented her for five years. Praise God!

ISSUE OF BLOOD NO LONGER AN ISSUE

It caused her great discomfort and pain. Her career was inadvertently teetering until one day when she encountered the Healer, Jesus Christ. Mrs Jawe, a motivational speaker and training consultant from Botswana, was a career woman happy to do what she knew best, travelling around the country and helping people to reach their potential. As satan would have it his wicked way, Mrs Jawe found herself inflicted with a bleeding problem. She profusely bled for three and a half months, seriously affecting her job. Doctors could not establish the cause and even took her through a pregnancy test in a desperate hunt for the cause. She could not stand for a long time and easily got tired. The problem persisted. Her husband, who testified to having been affected by his ‘beautiful’ wife’s problem, decided to come along with her to The SCOAN where they received the Anointing Water. When they got to their hotel room, they ministered it and before they knew it, the bleeding had stopped. The husband described the problem as having affected them greatly.
“You have a beautiful woman like mine and there is this problem of bleeding, you know what it means,” he said to the amusement of the congregation. Thank God, today, Mrs Jawe is completely free and freely going about her daily work and enjoying her married life, courtesy of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ through the medium of the Anointing Water.

HEAVILY PREGNANT, AFTER HEAVENLY TOUCH!

Mr and Mrs Abu John had been married for four years and looking for ‘fruit of the womb’ which, unfortunately, did not come. They visited many medical specialists but there was no solution. They felt bad because their colleagues of the same age had up to two children and yet, they had nothing to show for those barren years. They decided to come to The SCOAN last year. They prayed and received the Anointing Water which they ministered, in the name of Jesus Christ. Mrs John then had a dream in which the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, prayed and delivered her from a spiritual husband. When she met with her husband, the impossible became possible. God touched her and she became pregnant! Mrs John advised people to have faith in God and they would receive fruitfulness in His appointed time.

GOD HAS TRULY REBUILT ME

Mr Obi Inoma, an architect consultant, came to The SCOAN due to a string of setbacks in his career that had thrown him into bondage. Things became very difficult due to some bad choices he had made and he could no longer meet family obligations. He had several children in expensive universities and faced difficulties paying their school fees. Running out of rope, he ran to The SCOAN. Prophet T.B. Joshua gave him hope and encouragement. He also gave him the Anointing Water. Meanwhile, there was one project he was aspiring to manage as a consultant but each time he submitted his papers, he would be turned down for no apparent reason. After ministering the Anointing Water, the company reversed their initial decision and readily accepted his application. His company was appointed as a consulting firm, overseeing a new housing estate which involves managing 109 housing units. He was also assigned other projects within the system to manage. They gave him accommodation to stay in the estate and a car to use for the project. He is now able to pay for his children’s university fees after receiving a huge breakthrough following his release from bondage. He advised: “We must not joke with anything that comes from the prophet.”

WRITE IT DOWN – YOU ARE CROSSING THE BRIDGE

When Mr John Njuma Libwea decided to further his education in Europe, he found himself confronted not only with a language barrier but also a financial mountain that almost obliterated his dream. A Bachelor of Science graduate of a University in Cameroon, he had worked for about four to five years before he received a certificate in pharmacy and later decided to enhance his studies. His applications to schools in the UK and Finland did not go unnoticed but he resolved to further his research in HIV/AIDS which was incidentally being offered in Finland.
When he arrived in Finland, he was faced with a different culture and could not speak the language of the land. He was among twelve out of 240 applicants who were selected for the programme; only two were from Africa of which he was one. He graduated with distinction and was offered a four year residence permit to stay in Finland. He was studying for his PhD and due to his financial challenge, he accepted to work for the university as a cleaner. He was in desperate need for substantial money which he could not make out of cleaning services.
He had been watching Emmanuel TV but not with belief. One day, he reached a turning point. He heard the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua say, “Write it down – There is a crossover, you are crossing the bridge”. He claimed the prophetic prayer and to his delight, he was recruited as a research officer at the Finnish Health and Welfare Office in Finland. He was told he would work 100 hours a month and receive a salary. Amazingly, they told him he didn’t need to come to the office but rather, should stay at home and work on his project. His wife who had joined him in the country, was also miraculously given a permit which entitled her to full benefits as a Finnish citizen! Praise God!
The Easter Sunday service closed with mass prayer ministered by the Wise Men during which many more spiritual chains were broken and a new breeze of calmness breathed into people’s lives, in Jesus’ name!

PALM SUNDAY OF MIRACLES AND WONDERS

Source by thetbjoshuafanclub

Palm Sunday is a day when Christians celebrate our Lord Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the week before His death and resurrection. At The SCOAN, Sunday school children relived the experience with displays of a donkey rider and Easter songs. That aside, the thousands of worshippers who convened at The SCOAN from all corners of the world, witnessed the power of the Holy Spirit at work as the Lord loosed people from all kinds of yokes and burdens. The man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, ministered at the prayer line where many people were healed of their ailments and delivered of evil spirits. He also prophesied to individuals and nations. The prophet, in particular, addressed a message which was being spread around in Namibia and online media that an earthquake would strike that nation on Monday [April 14, 2014]. He replied, “The prophetess in Namibia may have dreamt but the translation is wrong. There is nothing like that. But it is an opportunity to live as if today is your last day on earth.” Prophet T.B. Joshua was compelled to speak out on the issue after being bombarded with emails seeking his confirmation of the said prophecy despite having not originated from him.
Earlier, Wise Man Harry delivered a thought-provoking message titled: ‘The Way of Obedience’ which challenged people to be spontaneous in responding to instructions of God regardless of conditions. He taught that, while in Matthew 21: 1-11 the disciples of Jesus Christ accepted to go to the village and bring a donkey together with its colt for Jesus to ride on into Jerusalem, the same conditions if given to followers of Christ today, might not be obeyed as Christians are only clever in hearing the message but not always in obeying.
“When your mind is taken up by worldly considerations, you cannot stand for Jesus or obey any of His instructions. The moment you want to follow Jesus’ instruction, your mind would start telling you ‘Don’t do it! They will arrest you!’ Every time you determine to do what is right, something else, something contrary crosses your mind. This is because the mind always resents things that are difficult to master. As a child of God, your mind must be disciplined to become your servant and not your master,” he said.

WOMAN REAPS FROM PROPHECY OF AGRICULTURAL BOOM!

When Mrs Rose Uba retired from her life-long career in the education sector, she was not ready to sit on her laurels and count her days to her monthly pension collections. She wanted to be active and productive to take care of her voluminous responsibilities. Yet, she could not decide what really to venture into until God spoke. In 2012 she came to The SCOAN and heard a prophetic message that was to reshape her life. Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied that people should go into agriculture and foodstuff businesses, saying that they would prosper. She claimed it. Not knowing how to enter into agriculture as she had no land, she prayed with the Anointing Water and felt God inspire her to begin fish farming, a business she had never practiced. She purchased GP tanks, put in the fingerings and sprayed them with the Anointing Water, in Jesus’ name. Her fishery business responded with a boom. The fish she produced were large and delicious. Customers descended on her fishery in droves and eventually encouraged her to open a restaurant alongside the fishery so that people could choose their fish and eat it there. Beaming with joy, Mrs Uba, former secretary to education in her municipality, proclaimed to the congregation she no longer lacks.
“Every day, I have money in my pocket. Whether they pay my pension or not, I am alright. God is providing for me,” she said. Advising people on the importance of honoring a prophet’s words, she said, “Anything that comes out from the mouth of the prophet, key into it. He is speaking from above. Take it seriously and don’t play with it. As for me, this is just a starting point. I know God is taking me higher and higher!”

ANOINTING WATER QUENCHES RAGING OIL INFERNO

Engineer Martins Idoko’s action of faith in anointing items from The SCOAN has become a subject of admiration in his entire community and all echo his belief that God can use any medium to manifest his power. The story of how Engineer Idoko used the Anointing Water to calm and quash flames of fire that could have become a huge catastrophe in the area, is widely told particularly among those in the oil sector. On March 5 this year [2014], someone came to his filling station in the night to collect petroleum products. He, however, told the driver to wait until morning. A few hours later that night, while at home, he received an emergency call that his petroleum station was on fire. Rushing down to the scene, he found the whole community gathered outside his filling station shouting and gesticulating helplessly. Other than break down to tears at the prospect of losing millions, he remembered that he had a weapon of God with him. Exercising his faith, he took out the Anointing Water and ministered it on the flames albeit from a distance, praying that there would be no losses, in Jesus’ name. The fire instantly ebbed and when the fire service arrived, it only finished the job. When he was finally able to enter his property, he discovered that a large fuel tanker, full of fuel, was parked adjacent to the burnt building. He was shocked, realising that if the truck had caught fire, the entire community might have burst into flames from the ensuing explosion. The Fire Services reported to him that they had never seen such a miracle in their time and, when they demanded to know how this had been made possible, he showed them his bottle of the Anointing Water. They agreed that this thing could indeed only be possible with God!

SOLDIER MARCHES BACK TO FULL FITNESS AFTER PRAYER!

What started off as routine escort duty for Corporal Sunday Agada, took a nasty turn when the vehicle he was travelling in crashed in a terrible accident. The young corporal escaped with his life but sustained a severe fracture to the tibia and fibula bones in his right leg. He was rushed to the hospital and after treatment was told that walking properly was out of the question and would have to use crutches for the rest of his life. This was truly a deadly blow to his physical condition and professional career. In desperation, he ran to a herbalist but when they demanded that he conduct a sacrifice, he escaped to The SCOAN, seeking the face of God. After prayer from one of the wise men, the crippling pain left him. He stood up and walked without the crutches – something that would have been impossible a few moments earlier. Proving his perfect healing, Corporal Agada, who came clad in his military gear, performed 10 perfect push-ups and demonstrated his military march in front of the congregation. Thank You, Jesus!

BABY CAME BACK TO LIFE THROUGH ANOINTING WATER

Many couples came to The SCOAN having problems such as barrenness, low sperm count, multiple fibroids and shared their wonderful testimonies with their babies. Among them were Mr and Mrs Joshua Yao Gomado, Mr & Mrs Ezekiel Green and Mr & Mrs Anwuli Malior who after the delivery of their dead baby, ministered the Anointing Water and their baby was miraculously resurrected! Smiling happily, the beautiful baby bounced on Mrs Malior’s knee as she gave glory to God for raising her child back to life.

DEAD BONES RISE AGAIN: MANHOOD RESTORED!

When Bishop Dr Paul walked to take his position before the congregation on Sunday, he had a spring in his footstep – something he had lacked for a very long period. The previous week, he had come to The SCOAN with his own mountain of sorrow. Prophet T.B. Joshua, prophesied to him that they wanted him to run from one woman to another and that this was the third woman. Bishop Paul was stunned at the exactness of the prophecy. During mass prayer the same day, Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied that there was a man whose manhood was no longer working. He explained that this man had met with a fat woman who had been charmed by her husband and that since then, his manhood stopped working. Bishop Paul stood up and claimed the prophecy. He was prayed for and delivered.
Testifying before the congregation on Sunday, he said that he saw a fat woman in a dream wearing a wrapper and he made love to her. The next day, he physically saw the same woman he had seen in his dream. Just as it happened in the dream, so did it happen in the physical in the woman’s own matrimonial home. His manhood instantly died. Bearing testimony, the bishop’s wife told the church that indeed her husband’s manhood had not been functioning. Bishop Dr Paul explained that, during a shower soon after his deliverance, his manhood rose back to life. Glory be to God!

RESCUED FROM SPIRIT OF LUST, MASTURBATION

What started out of peer pressure for Mr Stevenson Simplice from the Caribbean Island – Saint Martin, grew to become a heavy chain of enslavement that tormented him despite his passion for Christ. Mr Simplice grew up in a broken home and witnessed sexual sins perpetrated by those he lived with when his father and mother separated. He lacked love and was a victim of humiliation and violence. All this took a huge toll on him and he considered himself unwanted. In his desperation to find acceptance and love, he ended up in bad company. He was introduced to masturbation and it developed into an addiction. Two years later, he decided to serve God but was still held by the clawing of masturbation. Even on the way to church, he would turn back home, find himself masturbating and start all over back to church. He later entered the music industry, singing and performing before big crowds and meeting presidents and prime ministers of different nations. Despite all this seeming success, he was still bound down to the spirits of lust and masturbation. He fasted and prayed but it did not work. One day, Mr Stevenson started searching on YouTube for a deliverance ministry when he discovered Emmanuel TV. He realised that there was enough available anointing at The SCOAN to deliver him. He later visited The SCOAN and received prayer from Prophet T.B. Joshua. He also received the Anointing Water. That night, he said, he slept well and woke up realising that his heart was free to love Jesus and the urge to masturbate was no longer disturbing him. Since then, he has never masturbated and his mind is free of guilt and looking forward to a new chapter of life in the service of God. Speaking to the viewers, he said, “We have to get connected to the Anointing of God and be delivered.” Praise God!

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM SEEING MY DAUGHTER

When he visited The SCOAN a couple of weeks ago, Mr Elijah Chikwendu, a married father of four, was taken aback when Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied to him regarding a controversy over a baby. He confirmed the prophecy, stating that he indeed impregnated a woman 14 years ago whom he had promised to marry. However, he abandoned her and the baby who was then two years-old and went to another country where he married another woman. On advice from the man of God, on Sunday, the woman and child came to The SCOAN and for the first time in 12 years, Mr Chikwendu saw his 14 year-old daughter.
“Now I am married, I want the covenant to be broken so this woman can be free,” he said.
The run-away father asked the man of God to help him beg his daughter and her mother to forgive him for his irresponsible action. Addressing him, Prophet T.B. Joshua said restitution was the way out and that he should take responsibility for the daughter and provide for the woman financially.

FAITH IS SPIRITUAL FORCE!

The man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, straight from a pastors’ conference in South Korea, on Sunday engaged the congregation with an inspiring and powerful teaching on faith. Referring to various scriptures in the Bible, he said people should not look at themselves as the basis for faith but at God because faith cannot be manufactured. Faith, he explained, grows naturally and spontaneously the more one knows God.
“Never ask yourself if you have faith. The more you ask yourself these questions, the less your faith. We are not talking of faith in faith or faith in yourself; we are talking of faith in God. You cannot manufacture faith. If faith would be in pastors or saints, faith would be weak and fragile,” he said, adding, “Faith is holding on to what God has promised. Whether your faith is great or small is not the issue. The issue is, if God has promised, will He lie or change? Your coming here shows you know God. And when you know God, faith will spontaneously grow. You are committing yourself and your things to Someone smarter, cleverer and more powerful – that is why you are here.”
Aided by the scriptures in John 14:25-27 and Romans 10:17, he said, “Faith comes out by hearing the Word of Christ. If my Father promised me something, I believe He will give me that thing. My belief is solid because I believe on the promise of my Father. If God’s Word is Spirit, it is capable of developing a spiritual force within our heart called faith. Ask God to give you the grace not to be ignorant of your faith under the tension and pressure of your sickness, disease, temptation, limitation.”
Earlier in the day, Wise Man Christopher preached a life-transforming message titled, ‘Positive Examples’ whose proof text was Matthew 5:17-20 and centred on the lifestyle of Jesus Christ as a worthy example who stood against evil not just by His Words but also by His deeds.
He explained, “Many have fallen because of being influenced by people who set a bad example. All of us have had a father, friend, mentor or coach but not all of us have had a father, friend, mentor or a coach we want to be like. This ought to motivate us to seek out a worthy example. Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, is the worthy example. When we have a relationship with Jesus Christ, we will change and become men or women who are directed by the Holy Ghost, not by the influence of others. Only then, are we Christians.”

ARMED ROBBERS FLEE IN FACE OF ANOINTING STICKER

This is no drama. It is a true manifestation of how no weapon fashioned against God’s children, shall prosper. On the fateful day, Mr Ikechukwu Muomalu who is based in South Africa had gone to the bank to withdraw a large sum of money. Mounted on a motorbike, he headed home. Little did he know that armed robbers were tailing him for the money. As he drove past a bustling market street, he was pulled over and ordered to hand over the cash. He hesitated when, suddenly, one of the robbers pulled out his gun, uncorked it, and pointed it at him. It was now a matter of life and death with only the money in his bag a deciding factor. Just then, before he could hand over his cash, he remembered something precious he was carrying in his pocket – the Anointing Sticker! Thrusting his hand in his pocket, he fished out the Anointing Sticker and flashed it at the armed robbers who looked astonished. But what was more astounding was that they wilted, retreated and sped off! No bullet was fired and no money snatched. The powerful hand of God, invisible to the human eye, had reigned.
Previously, Mr Muomalu used to be a target of armed robbers. His location was frequently attacked and he was not spared. He was also facing financial limitations to the extent that he could not take proper care of his family until he came to The SCOAN where he received the Anointing Water and Stickers. Gradually, his fortunes improved and his faith that God can use any medium to manifest His power, strengthened. Confronted with the armed robbers situation, he could think of no other amour but that of Jesus Christ through the Anointing Sticker.
He advised, “Whatever situation you are in, put your trust in God, and solution will come.”

DELAYED PROMOTION RELEASED

In spite of all his credentials, Mr Odekina Abimaje was frustrated by nine years of stagnation and career failure. He remained a lecturer at the same federal polytechnic without promotion and did not even have the opportunity to progress a PhD ambition. He recalled working hard like a horse but had nothing to show for it until he ran to The SCOAN. During his visit to The SCOAN, he was touched by one of the Wise Men and he did not fall as he had expected to be assured that he had been indeed delivered. Having collected the Anointing Water and Anointing Sticker, he returned home and placed the Anointing Sticker between his credentials. When he retired to bed, he had a dream of Prophet T.B. Joshua who picked and rubbed Mr. Abimaje’s credentials on his chest and then put them back on his desk and left. While pondering over the significance of the dream, Mr. Abimaje decided to visit his mother. While there, he came across one of his friends who casually asked him about his current job. After listening to Mr. Abimaje’s frustrating story, the friend did not only ask him to consider working at a state polytechnic but also collected the former’s credentials to hand in. Within a matter of days, Mr. Abimaje’s friend invited him to collect his appointment letter to lecture at the new polytechnic, where he would see his salary tripled. In a subsequent development, Mr. Abimaje went on to pursue his doctorate research.
“You need to know the value of what you have. This is the arena of liberty,” he advised.

DISAPPOINTMENT SURRENDERS TO APPOINTMENT

Mr Vincent Achinuke, living in the US, explained how he had worked in a company as supervisor for a number of years. One day, the upper management met him that two employees needed to go, so he should find something, anything against them. He told them that he did not want to have a hand in it. Immediately, they fired him and relieved him of his duties. Shortly after that, his two house tenants were relocated to different states due to their job demands, resulting in a sudden financial break down. He sat depressed on his couch and slept for a whole day when he awoke to Prophet T.B. Joshua praying on Emmanuel TV for viewers to claim their career. He quickly joined in and believed within him that his trouble had come to an end. Three days later, he received a call from the area manager of an oil company, saying that they had seen his profile online and asked if they could meet. Mr Vincent happily agreed and was given the position of operations manager. His salary now is double what he used to receive and he will spend half of his work time this year in Saudi Arabia and the rest in the US.
He said, “When you make Jesus Christ Lord and Saviour of your life and situation – He will see you through.”

AGENTS OF CHRONIC SCHIZOPHRENIA CAST OUT

For eight years, Mrs. Enobong Utin’s daughter, Miss Edidiong Utin, suffered from a chronic paranoid schizophrenic condition and had to live on cocktails of medications. The extent of the dosage she had to ingest compromised the state of her heart and consequentially reduced her mental alertness. Over the years that followed, Miss Edidiong Utin would also have learning difficulties. As if her condition did not wear her parents down enough in the United States, one day Miss Edidiong Utin took a knife and was about to stab herself in the kitchen when her brother walked into the scene to abort the attempt.
While she shuttled her daughter between medical facilities, Mrs Enobong Utin, a professional nurse, shared her plight with her Nigeria-based brother Dr. Essien, who recommended the Anointing Water as the only solution. Although skeptical about the brother’s recommendation, Mrs. Enobong Utin travelled to Nigeria and returned to the United States with the Anointing Water.
When Mrs Enobong Utin arrived at the ward, her daughter did not know her. Disheartened by this, Mrs. Enobong Utin seized a window of opportunity at her disposal and started to minister the Anointing Water on her daughter. To her utmost surprise, demonic spirits residing inside her daughter began to manifest and confess. The first voice said, “She will not graduate.”
“Who are you?” Mrs. Enobong Utin asked.
“I am an ancestral spirit,” said the demonic spirit.
“Who else is there?” Mrs. Enobong Utin continued to confront the demonic spirits, picking courage from what Emmanuel TV had taught her.
“I am queen of the coast,” said the spirit.
In the end a total of five demons manifested and were cast out as Mrs. Enobong Utin continued to minister the Anointing Water on her daughter’s body in the blood of Jesus. Miss Edidiong Utin rolled her eyes back and forth and her body returned to calmness. As she remained still and stared at her mother, Mrs. Enobong Utin heard her daughter say, “Mum, how are you?” To God be the glory, Miss Edidiong Utin was totally restored and freed from the agents of chronic schizophrenic condition.
Showing the related BEFORE and AFTER medical reports, a beaming Mrs. Enobong Utin said that “the Anointing Water” works.

MIRACLE BABY INDEED!

Mrs Nwaigwe was one month overdue and doctors said they would have to artificially induce her. Mr Victor Nwaigwe and his wife were not comfortable with that. They were informed by a friend about the Saturday healing Service at The SCOAN and they decided to come along but there was no service on that day. He got into conversation with a man who gave them the Anointing Water. He thanked the man but told him that he just needed a pastor or one of the evangelists to minister the Anointing Water to his wife. The man assured him that once he was at The SCOAN his troubles were over so he should just go ahead and minister the Anointing Water himself. He took the man’s advice, they took the Anointing Water, ministered it and went to eat at the canteen. As they finished eating she began to feel labour pains. He was shocked that the effect of the Anointing Water happened so soon. He quickly set about taking her to the hospital. Upon arrival she was checked and was ready for delivery. So she was taken to the delivery room and the baby began to come out but they saw the umbilical cord had wrapped itself around the baby’s neck. They quickly had to cut the cord which was successful and the baby was born safely despite great challenges on every side!
After going through such an experience Mr Nwaigwe said, “Forget what you think you know just come to Jesus – He is who he says He is – just believe.”

LOSS OF MANHOOD AND MENSTRUAL CYCLE BECAME HISTORY

After five years of uncertainty, wondering as to whether Mr Adeyemi’s manhood and Mrs Adeyemi’s menstrual cycle would ever respectively return to each of them, the Anointing Water became their only hope. Under the circumstance, the thought of ever achieving conception to bring a child into the world was akin to chasing a mirage. They made it to The SCOAN where they received the Anointing Water and ministered it to themselves in Jesus’ name. Lo and Behold! The miracle thing happened — Mr Adeyemi told his wife that his manhood had returned. Excited by the great news, Mrs Adeyemi experienced a change in her system at the instant. She beamed and told her husband that her menstruation had also started to flow. The excited family celebrated their joy, and later met as husband and wife. Mr. Adeyemi became pregnant, went through a safe delivery and now they have a healthy baby to share in their testimony. To God be the glory!

FAITH COMES SPONTANEOUSLY!

Source by thetbjoshuafanclub

When you know God is reliable, faith comes spontaneously, faith grows spontaneously. These were the deep-reaching words from Prophet T.B. Joshua as he ministered to thousands of people who had gathered at The SCOAN on Sunday and, true to the pronouncement, miracles and wonders were performed spontaneously through his prayer of faith. Working in the power of the Holy Spirit, he moved among the congregation, prophesying and commanding evil spirits out of the afflicted in the name of Jesus Christ. The demons had no place to hide as he called upon the name that is above all names, the name Jesus Christ, and reversed every yoke on individuals and nations. Many people received instant healing.
Teaching about faith, the man of God said, “The more you look at God, to God and meditate on God, the more you will have faith. Faith is natural. It is not manufactured or produced by you, it is natural. We just need to know the faithfulness and trustworthiness of God. When you know that God is reliable, faith grows spontaneously”.
Earlier on, Wise Man Harry mounted the pulpit and delivered to the congregation and worldwide viewers of Emmanuel TV, a powerful and encouraging message titled, ‘Move The Mountain’ which was backed by proof text from Matthew 17:19-20. The message centered on the need for Christians to speak the Word of faith at all times and not to confess failure, saying one cannot think about one’s troubles and at the same time think about God’s Word.
He said, “When we confess sickness, fear, and failure and so on, we magnify the adversary above our Heavenly Father, thus destroying our own confidence in God’s Word. If your confession concerning your situation comes from faith, you would embrace victory; if based on sense-knowledge, you are bound to embrace defeat”.
“When your confession comes from faith, you have God’s hand performing all things for you, in you and through you. Only then, you will not consider the size of your problem; no matter how big, you will move the mountain,” he added.
