The entire congregation of The SCOAN rose to their feet as a man
dressed in a white native uniform and his sister took the stage. Mr Jude
Oraka had suffered from a chronic skin disease for six horrible years.
The disease had so warped and twisted the skin that it began to shatter,
flake, peel and fall to the floor all over his body. The plague started
from his back, crept onto his stomach and chest, moved down his legs
then invaded his head, eyes and ears. They visited so many hospitals and
herbal homes but the problem became a curse with no solution. People
would start running from them, asking if he was a ghost or a human
being. Fighting back the tears, his sister said she did not know that
Jesus Christ was still alive and could bring her brother back to life
until they set foot in the arena of liberty at The SCOAN. July 5th they
came to The SCOAN with a problem beyond human understanding but not
beyond God’s understanding.
Prior to their visit, the family had gathered to try and find a
solution. Nobody had any until Jude’s sister voiced out that there was
only one place where this problem could be overcome – The SCOAN of
Prophet T.B. Joshua.
All his brothers had given up hope saying that their brother was
already a walking corpse. They said he would die on the way to Lagos,
but his sister said that they had to take the step of faith. “Because of
the terrible condition, you could not touch him or support him because
the skin would peel off his body and gum to you” his sister said.

BEFORE

AFTER
To bring him to Lagos from their village was a long distance. They
clothed every part of his body so that no one could see what was wrong
and they paid a driver a lot of money to take them from Anambra to
Lagos. His skin kept peeling all over the vehicles. Another driver
accepted to charge them double to take them to Ikotun, near The SCOAN.
There were a lot of hoteliers who usually came to get customers at the
major bus stops but when they saw him, he was not the kind of customer
they were looking for; they all ran away. They ended up standing by the
road in an unfamiliar place for over an hour until a certain woman
finally agreed to house them for double payment once again. Arriving
during the week, before they went to The SCOAN, they first went to a
hospital for treatment before the Sunday service. As they approached the
reception, panic ensued and all the patients in that ward ran away. The
doctors said they would only treat him outside the hospital. Sometimes,
they would even use a broom to scratch the peeling skin off him to try
and give him a little relief. Then, the glorious day came when they
attended the Prayer Line service at The SCOAN. Prophet T.B. Joshua
prayed for him in the name of Jesus Christ and that was it. Prophesying
that the cause of the fearsome affliction was poison he had taken, the
man of God commanded the poison out of his life after which
pronouncement, Mr Jude instantly began vomiting out slimy looking
substances. In no time at all, everything was completely restored.
He said that during his affliction, his body felt hot like a radiator
all day long and his skin was always itching and throbbing severely
which caused a deadening irritation felt to the core. He needed an
assistant to do everything, even to go to the toilet and it was his
‘lovely sister’ who did everything for him and stood by him when others
were too afraid to. When people would see him walking, they would start
running in terror that they might also be cursed with his affliction.
Mr Jude Oraka And Sister
Since his encounter with the man of God, he began to recover until
this day in which he presented himself live in the church to testify to
the goodness of God. He feels no pain anymore. When he came to the
church for prayer, he could not even bend down but now, he can do
everything a normal healthy human being can do. He advised everybody
never to give up, no matter how dire their condition was and to trust in
the goodness of God.
“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it
shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will
surely come, it will not tarry.” HABAKKUK 2:3 KJV
Brethren, God is working out something for your good. To delay is not to deny.
