DOCTORS SAID AMPUTATION, JESUS SAID RESTORATION


MRS YALUWA & FAMILY
MRS YALUWA & FAMILY
Mrs Maria Yaluwu was at the mercy of a leg ulcer that was toying with her life. The ailment would disappear after treatment only to reappear some months later. The scenario was not funny as she could not continue with her normal business life prompting her children to take time out from their matrimonial homes to lend a helping hand. But in spite of all their efforts, no solution was in sight. At last, doctors recommended amputation as the only way out. Her children, instead of succumbing to the suggestion of amputation, brought her to The SCOAN.
When Mrs Yaluwu arrived in Lagos in company of her children, she was lodged in a hotel while her children got the Morning Water from The SCOAN.

On returning to the hotel room and ministering the Morning Water on her, what happened next was amazing. As soon as the Morning Water was ministered, Mrs Yaluwu suddenly regained her strength and composure and sprang to her feet almost immediately as though she had never been disturbed by the leg ulcer. Testifying before the congregation, Mrs Yaluwu’s children glorified God for the seamless way their mother’s injury was healed through the medium of the Morning Water. They encouraged people to have faith in God’s ability to set them free from all bondages.

SPIRITS OF BEDWETTING AND POVERTY BANISHED


While Hon Martins Aza was labouring with the yoke of the spirit of bedwetting, poverty was also strangling the life out of him. The bedwetting problem was so embarrassing that he bathed his wife with urine after their wedding. He battled with this problem and gradually built his faith watching the exploits of the man of God on Emmanuel TV. He made up his mind to put an end to the disgrace. He came to The SCOAN and received the Morning Water which he ministered on himself. According to him, since that day, the problem of bedwetting became history. He is totally delivered.

As he continued to minister the Morning Water, the poverty that had held him captive for so long disappeared. He was blessed with four cars and a booming business and thought that God was done with him. To his surprise, he was introduced into politics in his native Benue State of Nigeria but never dreamt he could succeed with the power brokers in the murky waters of politics. While making consultations to ensure victory in his political ambition, his Morning Sticker caught the attention of a Muslim brother who confirmed that the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua is a true man of God. The brother encouraged him never to toy with the spiritual materials he received at The SCOAN. In spite of all the intrigues that characterised the politicking process, he emerged the honourable member representing Makurdi North constituency in the Benue State House of Assembly. He also doubles as the chairman of the House committee on Youth and Sports. Hon Aza advised people to have faith in God as He is using every medium to express Himself on Emmanuel TV.

YOKE OF ALCOHOLISM DESTROYED


Mr Wilson Ojogbo, a seaman by profession, was an unrepentant liquor monger. He was introduced into drinking by his late father who used local gin as libation to the idols he served. At age 8, Mr Ojogbo was already drinking to the extent that he would sneak into his father’s room and drink himself into a stupor. In spite of all the beatings from his parents, the drinking habit grew with him and refused to abate. When he clocked 12, he had added Indian hemp to his evil menu. It got to a time that he would not have breakfast unless he gulped a mixture of local gin and Indian hemp known as “monkey tail”.

When he got married and started working, the habit increased. He would drink and drive himself home, constituting a nuisance to his wife who greatly detested his lifestyle. On one occasion, stone drunk, he got involved in a ghastly motor accident. Anyone who saw the car after the accident would never believe that its driver survived. But the bubble soon burst after he failed a series of alcohol/drug usage tests. Having failed the test three times, he lost his job and was left to face the stark realities of joblessness. As he wallowed in those hard times, he made Emmanuel TV a companion and decided to come to The SCOAN to seek God’s help. After receiving and ministering the Morning Water, his life changed. The urge for alcohol ceased. As he continued ministering the Morning Water, three different companies showed interest in him. God eventually restored him to a very good job. He now has savings and enjoys a great time with his family. He advised fathers not to expose their kids to bad habits like alcoholism.

OVERSEAS ADMISSION SECURED THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION


MISS NADINE LAWRENCE & MOTHER (3)
For Mrs Lillian Lawrence, the joy that came into her life was definitely a miracle. Never had she thought that her daughter’s admission headache which had lingered for two years would come to be resolved on a platter of gold. The native of Imo State based in Gabon was fed up with the inability of her daughter to secure admission into the university to study Medicine. The girl had made very good grades in her Senior School Certificate Examination but was inexplicably unable to secure admission into a university abroad. Several attempts to work out something in Romania and the UK proved futile and kept mother and daughter on the trenches of surrender.
Mrs Lawrence would not give up. She came down to The SCOAN andMISS NADINE LAWRENCE & MOTHER (1) received the Morning Water with which she prayed fervently asking God to make her daughter’s admission a reality. After the prayers and ministration of the Morning Water, young Nadine’s results were sent to Georgia, United States. To God be the glory, a university based in Georgia offered her admission to study Medicine (with her visa secured) bringing an end to all the frustrations mother and daughter went through – a confirmation of the fact that when we run to God, He takes care of our troubles. Testifying before The SCOAN congregation, both mother and daughter urged people to wait on God as He is the only one that can do what no man can do.

FRUIT OF THE WOMB RECEIVED THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION


MR&MRS ELOM BERNARD (2)Mr and Mrs Elom Bernard from Ebonyi State were married for over five years without a child. Diagnosed with low sperm count and staphylococcus, respectively, it was the most dispiriting experience for them to bear the brunt of childlessness in a continent where it is perceived as some kind of stigma and social inadequacy. Mr Bernard gathered himself together hoping to find a way out of their burden. A good friend came along to introduce the couple to The SCOAN where they received the Morning Water. The couple MR&MRS ELOM BERNARD (3)ministered the Morning Water in faith thanking God for answering their prayers and granting their requests even when they had not seen the manifestation. And their strong faith moved God into action. Three months later, Mrs Bernard became pregnant.
Testifying at The SCOAN with his wife who is now nine months pregnant, Mr Bernard thanked God for putting smiles on their faces and for making them expectant parents. The couple advised people to take their problems to God alone.

OVERCOMING THE LANGUAGE BARRIER IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD



EVANGELIST CINDYIn the spirit of worship, the congregants, raising and waving their hands in reverence to Heaven, were visibly absolved by the heart-moving songs from the choristers. The Sunday service of July 5, 2015 at The SCOAN was a blend of Kingdom enthusiasm with a harvest of God’s boundless grace. Evangelist Cindy added evangelical bite to the atmosphere with her illuminating teaching on a very topical as well as universal issue – The Language Barrier.  In this regard, she was emphatic about our communication with God which is only possible through a relationship in which both parties understand each other’s language. We can only talk to God and get His responses to our requests when we make ourselves comprehensible to Him through our acts and deeds. Hence, the success or otherwise of our communion with God depends on the language factor. And the language factor in our relationship with God is much deeper than we think: “Brethren, we are designed to think, talk, plan and act with God. There is no real communication or communion unless both parties take part in the conversation. Remember, Christianity is not a religion but it is all about our relationship with Jesus Christ. Based on the dictionary, communication is the exchanging of information. Imagine if you cannot communicate, will there be a lasting relationship? When there is no good communication, there is no good relationship”. Language in our relationship with God includes so many things. The level and strength of our faith, the priority and essence of our prayer requests as well as the state of our hearts determine whether or not we speak a language God would understand just as Evangelist Cindy observed: “What the Bible says in James 4:3 is true that many do not have because they do not ask but many ask/ pray and yet do not receive because they ask amiss (wrongly).  We need to know the language first before we can get it right. In our relationship with God, by prayer, we speak to God and when you read the Bible, you hear God speak. One is not complete without the other. This is what happens when we read. Remember, prayer has language. God only hears the language of the Bible. So, talk God’s language, talk faith”. She went ahead to explain that God cherishes our faith, especially when we exercise it with total commitment and confidence: Brethren, it is funny to see Christians sweating while praying as if everything depends on them. Prophet T.B. Joshua always encourages us that we must work hard as if everything depends on us and pray as if everything depends on God. Remember, it is God that makes it happen. Therefore, your failure to act faith nullifies your prayer.  Brethren, without faith, it is impossible for you to reach God and His promises or to receive answer to your prayer”. Evangelist Cindy also extolled the attitude of some Biblical characters who became models of the Christian faith due to their unshaken conviction in the ability of God, through His Son, Jesus to grant their heart desires: “Look at the woman with the issue of blood, it was very tight when multitudes of people were moving together; you will not know who touched you but how did Jesus know that it was that woman with the issue of blood who touched the hem of His garment? How did she attract Jesus’ attention? What about the Canaanite woman. Thousands of people were talking, crying but how did she attract Jesus’ attention while shouting, “Son of David, have mercy on me”? How did Zacchaeus, the tax collector attract Jesus’ attention when crowd was following Jesus and Zacchaeus was just looking from the top of a tree? How? It was the faith in their heart that attracted Jesus’ attention”.  Having established the fact that the only language God understands is the language of the Bible, Evangelist Cindy concluded by encouraging Christians to hold on to God as their prayers still count irrespective of how long ago they have been praying, declaring that God is working out the answer: “Remember, your prayers for many years are not lost. Faith is a lifestyle of trusting in God, not ordering God around. Believe that God will answer your question on His own schedule. Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 says that there is time for everything under the sun and everything is beautiful in God’s time. There is a time to pray or to send our petition to God but there is also time to wait in faith in Christ Jesus. They will surely come to you a hundredfold at God’s appointed time”.
