Source by thetbjoshuafanclub

The choristers enlivened the atmosphere with praise and worship songs that got congregants on their feet in expression of their unflinching faith in the almighty God Who has continued to shower them with blessings unspeakable at The SCOAN. Epic clips of the Pastors Conference held by Prophet T.B. Joshua in Mexico were relayed and served as a motivating tonic to worshippers who have been united in faith to trust God and to honour Him for His goodness and compassion towards them.
As Prophet T.B. Joshua led prayers and ministration at the Pastors Conference, the power of God manifested as the sick people, especially those confined to wheelchairs and those who had lost all hope of ever living a normal life, were healed and redeemed from the captivity of the devil.
Even visiting pastors from Mexico and other countries around the world were imparted with the anointing of God. some of them also partook of the healing session. To God be the Glory!



Sunday, May 24, 2015 witnessed a church service that remains memorable in different fronts. Wise Man Christopher anchored the day’s sermon on THE PATH OF GREATNESS.
The Path of Greatness is one that requires a lot of courage and sacrifice. Many people, desire to be great but they lack the courage, patience and staying power to sustain that desire. Wise Man Christopher observed that great and successful people become subjects of admiration in the eyes of the world, whereas the sacrifices they made to attain the positions they occupy are not brought into the picture: “When you look at the successful people who have genuinely made a difference in their own world today, please don’t just look at their achievements in life but also consider deeply the path they followed, the seemingly impossible situations they maturely handled, how they handled and captured them for God’s glory before they came to a new level in their lives”. Continuing, he stated that the ability to endure delay and humiliation is a virtue that is rare among men. Citing the example of the Canaanite woman, Wise Man Christopher depicted the nobility in patience and humble perseverance: “The humiliation the Canaanite woman received and the delay in her requests, rather than discouraging her, strengthened her desire for Christ. She did not limit Jesus in her request, she asked for mercy and Christ Jesus said to her, “Be it unto you even as you will (Matthew 15:28).” Originally, she was a stranger to the commonwealth of Israel, being a Canaanite; but Jesus saw her faith and gave her the right of sonship. He redeemed her from the limitation of racial discrimination so that she might receive adoption as a son (Galatians 4:5)”.
In line with the universal reality of trials as part of the grooming process for success and greatness, Wise Man Christopher further said, “Mention any great Biblical character and you would see how much pain or humiliation he had to endure in order to come to a new level in life. The way to your future greatness is not a bed of roses”. He added that enduring trials for what you believe comes with its own inestimable reward which is incomparable to all the riches of this world: “If you endure trials for what you believe, God deals with you as a son (Hebrews 12:7-10). If nothing is able to cut off your dependence upon God or your duty to God and your communion with God, God deals with you as a son. When God deals with you as a son, you are one with Him”. Or what else can be better than being one with God?
However, Wise Man Christopher points out the fact that there is only one condition that can guarantee a Christian’s capacity to survive in the face of trials and all sorts of hardship. And that condition is the presence of the Holy Spirit: “No man can stand the challenges of remaining in faith in the face of the vicissitudes of life, unless he is strengthened by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13”.
Finally, Wise Man Christopher urged Christians to see greatness as an asset from God. He declared that greatness is a quality that must start from within. In other words, our hearts must think greatly if we desire to see great realities unfold around us: “As Christians, our greatness comes from God. Greatness does not start on the outside but within you. Great thoughts produce great decisions (Romans 12:2). If you do what God puts into your heart you will make a difference in your world, you will be best among equals. The way of obedience is the way of blessing”.

PROMOTION AND CAREER GLORY RESTORED THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION

Working steadily in an organisation for fifteen years is a great record that deserves good rewards such as promotion and recognition awards. But in the case of Mr. Amidu Adams, a Ghanaian Security Officer, it was the other way round. Instead of promotion and recognition for a meritorious service, what he got for his fifteen years service was stagnation and even demotion. Of a truth, something was definitely amiss somewhere. Another opportunity had come up for him to be promoted in 2011 during a promotion interview but somehow that opportunity ended in a sad story.
Prior to the promotion interview, Mr. Adams had dreamt of a man opening his wardrobe and using faeces to smear on all his clothes. After the interview, he was demoted. His subordinates became his superiors to the extent that even people whom he trained were promoted ahead of him. Concerned about his unfortunate fate, a friend introduced him to Emmanuel TV and that became the forerunner to his turn-around. Inspired by the happenings on Emmanuel TV, he visited The SCOAN and received the Morning Water with which he commenced daily prayers.
In the thick of those prayers, he was invited to another promotion interview. While preparing for the interview, he ministered the Morning Water on all his documents. By the time he got to the interview venue, the interviewers were shocked and impressed with his responses and even wondered why he did not get promoted after the last exercise. They however told him to expect a positive response from them. After a couple of correspondences with him, they invited him to another meeting where he was awarded the Best Staff for the year 2014. A week later, he was promoted four steps higher to the position of Senior Security Officer. No doubt, our wonder-working Father in Heaven intervened and restored Mr. Adams to his glory through the Morning Water medium.
Testifying before a greatly inspired congregation, the visibly elated Ghanaian advised people to wait on God at all times.

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION RECEIVED THROUGH MORNING WATER/STICKER MINISTRATION

Mr. Emmanuel Frimpong is a Customs Officer from Ghana who loved and did his job to the best of his ability. He was accustomed to carrying out his duties with professional zeal but instead of commendation, all he got was reprimand. He was confused and getting sick of the whole thing to the level of developing some unpalatable health conditions. He would discover blood in his office and all efforts to get to the root of the matter would prove abortive. Whenever he visited the hospital, diagnoses would show nothing was wrong. But within him, he was convinced all was not okay with his health.
Mr. Frimpong visited The SCOAN and received the Morning Water with which he returned to his native Ghana and continued to minister in prayer. One morning while he was meditating, he heard a voice say to him that some goods have been diverted. He immediately swung into action and discovered that some persons had diverted some Ivory Coast-bound frozen chicken and was being sold without paying the necessary duties. He reported the matter to his superiors and drove the process that saw the culprits pay all the necessary duties accruable to the Ghanaian Customs. For his gallant and exemplary role, he was recommended for recognition. Shortly afterwards, he was invited by the Customs Commissioner who informed him that he had been awarded a Certificate of Merit by the World Customs Organisation in recognition of his excellent role in the furtherance of international customs operations.
The almighty God also rescued Mr. Frimpong from a terrible motor accident through the Morning Water ministration in Jesus’ name.
Thanking God for His great works through the medium of the Morning Water and Morning Sticker, Mr. Frimpong urged people, especially security operatives, to get closer to God because of the nature of their job.

RETURN TO GOD AND THE HOLY BIBLE

Source by thetbjoshuafanclub

The glory of God was well felt as it lit up the entire atmosphere with worshippers beaming with joyous smiles – a reflection that their prayers have surely received generous answers from Heaven. The choristers in their usual vibrancy dished out musical menus aimed at opening up the heart of God’s children to the reality of His presence in their midst. At The SCOAN Sunday service of May 17, 2015, the prophetic as well as the creative power of the Word came to the fore.
Wise Man Christopher, reminiscing the essence of the Word in creation called on Christians to make haste in returning to their source – God, their Creator and the Holy Bible. According to him, it is only when we fully realise that all we have come from Him that our supplies will continue: “When you consider deeply the events that took place at the creation of the world, you would find out that your life, your possessions and everything you can see, feel or touch, came from God who is unseen. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. God’s Word, a Spirit creates the material things… Ask the Provider of your possessions, the things you can see, feel or touch and he will tell you that for you to enjoy a steady supply of your these things, you need to get back to the Source”.
According to Wise Man Christopher’s illustration, getting back to our Source is a process that requires our very commitment because without commitment, there cannot be trust. Therefore, we must strive to build a relationship with our Source in order to be able to run back to Him when the need arises as exemplified by the prodigal son who, in spite of his shortcomings, returned to his compassionate father who received him with love and honour: “…you will agree with me that the prodigal son had a relationship and fellowship with his father before that fellowship was broken through his sins. When he lost a steady supply of everything he had received from his father, he saw the need to get back to his compassionate father. We all have a relationship with our Father in Heaven and that is why we are Christians. The main thing about Christianity is not the works we do but the relationship we maintain and the atmosphere produced by that relationship”.
In furtherance of our relationship with God, we need to create the enabling atmosphere in our hearts. According to Wise Man Christopher, when our hearts are filled with holy thoughts and godly meditations, we create the enabling atmosphere for God to thrive there. But when our hearts become a haven for evil thoughts and sinful considerations, we are building a barrier between God and us: “Remember that the kind of atmosphere produced in your heart matters because your heart is the dwelling place, the communication or the contact point for the Holy Spirit as well as for satan. Your heart is either Heaven or hell. A good atmosphere produces not only a good but also a great relationship. On the contrary, a bad atmosphere produces a dwelling place for satan. When you regard sin or have sympathy for sin in your heart, you are creating a conducive atmosphere for evil spirit to dwell in”.
However, no matter how terrible our sins are before God, He will always accept us back when we repent sincerely and decide to follow His ways with commitment. Wise Man Christopher observed that the reason God gave up His only begotten Son was to redeem us from sin and destruction. In other words, there is still a second chance for the repented soul who is ready to forsake his sinful ways: “If a sinner hears the Gospel of Jesus Christ and repents of his sins, Jesus Christ will save Him. For the design of the Gospel is to break the yoke of sin and satan, and thus remove the burden of guilt and corruption. God so loved the world that He planted His best Seed in the earth so that His peace might abide with men forever. The Seed gave Himself up as a living sacrifice for our sake – to heal the broken hearted, give the captives freedom, comfort those who mourn, release the prisoners and defeat their enemies as in John 10:15 and Isaiah 61:1-3 respectively”.
Concluding, Wise Man Christopher urged Christians to return to God and His Word as enshrined in the Holy Bible. He further said: “I want you to know that everything in the absolute of science and technology is falling apart – we simply must return to God and the Holy Bible. God is Spirit and those who will have an encounter with Him must do so in Spirit and in truth. If it is not in Spirit, it is not in truth and so it is all nothing. We are not made spiritual by theorem or philosophy about the Word; we are only made spiritual by living in the Word and by the Word living in us”.

ELECTORAL VICTORY THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION

Mr. Friday Okpechi, a native of Cross River, was a novice in politics and even described himself as “a nobody”. Yet, the almighty God found him worthy of elevation. He had entered into the local politics of his state, vying for a seat in the state house of assembly to represent one of the constituencies. Even though he was not popular and had never held any elective position within the state, his ministration of the Morning Water in faith gave him great assurances that he would come out victorious.
During the primaries, he had the Morning Water in his pocket and continued to minister it, asking for divine favour. To the glory of God, he was selected to represent his constituency at the general elections. When the time for the general elections finally came, he discovered that he was contesting against a very prominent politician who had held several elective positions in the past and who was then a serving member of the state house of assembly. In spite of all the money, fame and connections at the disposal of his opponent, Mr. Friday had a strong conviction that he was going to be victorious.
On the day of the general elections, he had observed his morning prayers, ministering the Morning Water and asking for God’s guidance. After the prayers, he went to cast his vote and returned home. Soon after, news started trickling in about his victory. His agent and other well-wishers kept him abreast of favourable developments about the elections. Eventually, he was declared winner of the election and the candidate to represent Obubra I constituency in the state house of assembly. Praising God for lifting him from “nobody” to “somebody” in society, Mr. Friday advised people to call on God whenever they need anything because all things belong to Him.

BANK JOB RESTORED THROUGH MORNING WATER MEDIUM

She was advised by her employer, one of the Nigerian banks to resign her employment for reasons that have remained hazy till date. Psychologically devastated and eager to get another job, Mrs. Edna was not happy with the turn of things. Her husband encouraged her to get the Morning Water. She got the Morning Water and ministered it on her CV and credentials which she submitted to different banks praying to God to grant her favour. Four days later, she received an SMS inviting her for interview.
She successfully scaled through the first, second and third interviews and was eventually given an employment letter, to the glory of God. Describing her case as a miracle, she said it was very rare for a banker who had been asked to resign to secure another job within a short space of time. According to her, some of her friends who had similar experiences are still out of job even after 7 years. She thanked God for working out an unlikely miracle in her life through the Morning Water medium.

HEALED OF HYPERTENSIVE HEART DISEASE AT PRAYER LINE

Mrs. Margaret Ariwodo, a native of Abia state, Nigeria had barely spent two days of her return to the country from the United Sates when she suddenly fell ill. After several tests, she was diagnosed with a condition known as hypertensive heart disease. She could not walk well as her legs were swollen.
Mrs. Ariwodo decided to visit The SCOAN. At the Healing Service Prayer Line, just a touch from Prophet T.B. Joshua in Jesus’ name and her condition changed radically for the better. Suddenly, all the debilitating symptoms and pains on her body disappeared. She started jumping in jubilation, thanking the Jesus Christ for her healing. Testifying before the congregation, Mrs. Ariwodo said she was free from all those things that prevented her from walking well. She also testified to God’s restoration of her lost luggage after she had ministered the Morning Water on it.

MULTIPLE ENTRY US VISA GRANTED THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION

Even though some of her family members reside in the United States, she could not secure the US visa. She had also been duped by fraudsters in the guise of helping her to secure the US visa. However, Mrs. Janet Chiawueze, an African foods and clothing exporter from Nigeria would not give up her hope of travelling to the States.
Mrs. Chiawueze had discovered that a strange man-like shadow would always come around her whenever she was about experiencing a breakthrough. She also had dreams about masquerades chasing her about. It was apparent she needed God’s direction and guidance to succeed in her quest for a visa to the US. In spite of all the disappointments concerning her travelling prospects, she kept faith and decided to come to The SCOAN from where she began to cherish more the principles of love and forgiveness. Even her husband asked her to forgive those who duped her in the process of securing the US visa. She accepted his advise and looked ahead with hope.
At The SCOAN, she received the Morning Water which she ministered in Jesus’ name and doors started opening for her. First, she participated in a convention, through the help of a friend and after that received a letter of invitation for interview at the US embassy. Before heading to the embassy for the interview, she ministered the Morning Water asking God to favour her. In spite of the huge crowd she met at the embassy and notwithstanding the disappointing outcome of other visa seekers’ interviews, she kept praying and asking for divine favour. When it got to her turn for the interview, the man who interviewed her sounded more like a brother and even asked her why her husband and child were not with her. According to her, he said he would have loved to grant them visas too. After the very friendly interview, she was offered a 2-year multiple entry visa to the United States. Thanking God for granting her heart’s desire through the Morning Water medium, she urged people to wait on God’s time while trusting Him for their breakthrough.

LEG ULCER HEALED THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION.

For two years, Mr. David West, from Rivers state suffered from an incapacitating leg ulcer that kept spreading and producing puss. He could not put on his shoes and kept away from people because of the offensive and irritating odour and sight of the ulcer. Some people even insinuated that he would have his leg amputated as a result of the ailment. All attempts to get help from different hospitals proved abortive. All the over one hundred injections that pierced through his veins had no answer to his condition.
But a visit to The SCOAN brought his sad story to a glorious end. Having received and ministered the Morning Water in Jesus’ name, Mr. West discovered that the smelly and irritating leg ulcer got healed with the wound dried up totally According to him, for the very first time in two years, he was able to wear his shoes. Thanking God for the miraculous healing of his ailing leg, he advised people to have faith in God no matter the circumstance.
DISTANCE IS NOT A BARRIER
The Mexico Crusade was a huge success. The mighty hand of God pulled down strongholds and set captives free, bringing salvation and redemption to the lost sheep through the precious name of Jesus Christ. While clips the Mass Prayer of Day 2 of the Mexico crusade were being relayed during The SCOAN Sunday service, the power of God manifested within the congregation as many worshippers felt the touch of the Holy Spirit. The Mass Prayer which was led by the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua had ripple effects within the church auditorium as the worshippers were delivered from different afflictions in confirmation of the fact that distance is indeed not a barrier for the move of the Holy Spirit.

MAINTANING GOD’S BLESSINGS

Ever rich in the presence of the Holy Spirit, the Sunday service of May 10, 2015 at The SCOAN provided another great platform for the impartation of the Word on a congregation of God’s people who have never allowed their faith to waver in spite of the many challenges facing Christians all over the world. The global realities of economic depression, war and natural disasters notwithstanding, the children of God gathered at The SCOAN to give thanks and praise (inspired by the melodic tunes of the choristers) to the Creator  who has continued to strengthen them from grace to grace with blessings unspeakable.
In furtherance of the incisive tradition of sermons at The SCOAN, Wise Man Christopher touched on an important aspect of the Christian race bordering specifically on our walk with God and the understanding of His ways. Even though His ways are not our ways, Wise Man Christopher observed that with a little understanding, we can have more insight into the ways of our Creator: “To learn to hear from God after prayer, is a much greater blessing than the blessing itself”. 
Hearing from God is a more significant blessing than the material or physical blessings that we are seeking. This is so because, whoever hears from God has a direct access to His throne of grace and will never be taken unaware by any sudden event. God will always direct such a person. Above all, according to Wise Man Christopher, the salvation of our souls is the main essence of miracles, blessings and the rest of God’s manifestations of His glory: “Miracle is not an end in itself but a means to an end which is the salvation of our souls. Healing, deliverance, blessing, breakthrough, victory, protection or the like is not an end in itself but a means to an end which is the salvation of our souls”.
Commenting on the nature of God’s gift to mankind and how to maintain such gifts, he stated that using God’s gifts to His own glory is the best way to sustain the constant downpour of His blessings to the receiver. This is even more instructive knowing that many would prefer to be proud when they are blessed forgetting that is was God who blessed them so that they may be blessings to their communities: “Character is everything. When you have God’s kind of character, you will see the need to use the gift of God in your life for God’s glory”.

Concluding Wise man Christopher said that we as Christians need God more when we are blessed because of the many challenges that come with receiving blessings. It takes a godly heart to be blessed, especially in wealth and still remember God. That is the reason Christ said “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God”. More so, we need God more in times of blessings because, without Him, we may not be able to stand the level of antagonism the wicked world would throw at us knowing that we are enjoying God’s grace. Wise Man Christopher captured the scenario thus: “Why do you need God more? You need God more in blessings than in poverty because the blessings of God always attract uncommon challenges, persecution, hatred, envy or jealousy from the people of the world in such an extent that it is only God that can see you through. If God is not involved in your life then, nobody will see you through them”

VISA SECURED THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION

Mr. Caleb Awolola, a party stalwart in Lagos received an invitation to attend leadership training in the United States alongside 22 other persons. Being a first-timer to the American Embassy, his approach to the visa interview was different and wise. Before leaving for the American embassy, venue of the visa interview, he had ministered the Morning Water on all necessary documents including his international passport, invitation letter and appointment letter, calling on the God of Prophet T.B. Joshua to come to his aid.

When he arrived at the venue of the interview and while queuing and waiting for his turn, he continued to meditate, asking the son of David to see him through the process. To his greatest surprise, the man who interviewed him only asked very basic and simple questions most pertaining to his personal life. Satisfied with his response, the man collected his passport and asked him to return on a later date to collect his visa. To the glory of God, on the stipulated date, Mr. Awolola collected his visa and has since travelled to the United States. Out of the 23 that attended the interview, he was the only granted the visa. This was a big surprise to his colleagues who attended the interview together with him.
He came back to The SCOAN to testify to the good thing God has done for him through the Morning Water medium. He advised the people of God to pray always and leave everything to God.

EDUCATIONAL CAREER REKINDLED THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION

Having graduated from the University of Ghana, Legon, in 2013 with a first class honours, it remained a mystery that Mrs. Rolanda Yennah could not secure admission for her Master’s in the same school. All efforts she made resulted to failure. Even when she tried to buy multiple admission forms to increase her chances, it remained the same sad story. This unfortunate story continued for 9 long years. In 2012, she once again decided to apply for three different admissions: Master in African Studies, Master in Adult Education and Bachelor of Law.

After submitting the admission forms, she dreamt that she was sitting for an exam. But while other candidates were busy writing, she was moving from hall to hall in search of her index number. According to her, before that very dream, she had discovered that each time she applied for admission, she always found herself in dreams where invigilators would stop her abruptly and ask her to submit her papers.
Convinced that she needed God to hamper the vicious cycle of failure in her life, she set out for The SCOAN. Upon receiving the Morning Water at The SCOAN, she returned home and began to minister it in prayer. To her amazing delight, those dreams of sitting for exams became a thing of the past in her life. Afterwards, she sat for and passed the exams as well as interviews for the three admissions she applied for. To the glory of God, she received the three admission letters and has decided to go for the Bachelor of Law, dropping the Master in African Studies as well as the Master in Adult Education. Testifying with so much joy and confidence in God’s power, she urged the people to embrace the anointing in the Morning Water and run to God in times of trouble rather than waste their time blaming and suspecting others.

BEDWETTING YOKE BROKEN THROUGH MASS PRAYER

For Mrs. Chinwe Biereagu, her daughter’s incessant bed-wetting had become a pill too bitter to swallow. She found it very hard to come to terms with the disgraceful challenge which had haunted the lass since childhood. It even became a family embarrassment when her daughter’s younger siblings chased her out of their room as a result of her challenge and forced her to sleep on the same bed with their mother who also confirmed that her daughter bed-wetted thrice every night. Fed up with the whole situation and having consulted many people with no solution, she opted for The SCOAN.

During The SCOAN Mass Prayer, Mrs. Biereagu raised Favour’s picture while keying into the powerful declarations of deliverance, healing and breakthrough by the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua. On getting home, her daughter informed her how she also keyed into the Mass Prayer believing God for her deliverance from the yoke of bed-wetting.  Mrs Biereagu had also received the Morning Water which she ministered on her daughter. Through the power and grace of God in the Mass Prayer and Morning Water, Favour is now free from the torment of incessant bed-wetting. Thanking God for her deliverance, Favour advised people with similar challenges not to patronise native doctors but rather run to God for their deliverance.

SAVED FROM GHASTLY MOTOR ACCIDENT THROUGH MORNING WATER/STICKER MINISTRATION

Mr. Chukwuemeka Eleje had a premonition of an impending danger as he drove his family of eight back to Niger State after a visit to his village.

When he mentioned his apprehensions to his wife, she advised him to minister the Morning Water which they had right there in the car. He did as she advised and the journey continued. Somewhere along the road, they encountered an acquaintance whose car had broken down and decided to offer a helping hand by towing the vehicle. As they towed the vehicle, the rope kept cutting itself at intervals prompting them to stop by at a market to get a bigger and stronger one.

Having fixed the new rope, the towing continued bringing with it an unfortunate story. As the vehicles trailed each other connected by the towing rope, Mr. Chukwuemeka could only remember hearing a loud bang. Both cars started swerving dangerously on the road creating a pathetic scene on the express way and attracting the attention of other travelling vehicles. Mrs. Eleje who was in front with her husband continued to call on the God of Prophet T.B. Joshua to intervene. Their car eventually got loosed from the car it was towing, somersaulted seven times and headed into a ditch inside a bush. Against all expectations, no member of his family inside the car was hurt neither was any member of his acquaintance’s family of five hurt. Even the car which was eventually pulled out of the ditch by a crane was not affected as none of its parts was damaged as it was the same car he used to convey his family back home. Testifying before an applauding congregation, Mr. Chukwuemeka Eleje in company of his entire family thanked God for the miracle of saving their lives. He advised people to hold on to God and desist from patronising native doctors.

PROMOTION RESTORED THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION AND MEDITATION WITH THE FAITH BRACELET

Mr. Francis Yagarga has been working with the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital for 28 years as a nurse but suffered career setback for reasons he could not fathom. However, from his observations, something was wrong somewhere as he was made to realize that even his promotion have been hijacked by unknown forces.

Unsatisfied with the dimension his career was taking, he came down to The SCOAN in search of solution believing that God would turn his situation around and declaring that his past was over. He received the Morning Water and started to minister it in prayer. He also received the Faith Bracelet with which he observed prayerful meditations, asking God to take more of him and give him more of Himself.
Soon things began to take a positive turn. His promotion that had been hijacked by some forces was restored. He was appointed the Vice Principal, Academic of his institution. Grateful to God for restoring his promotion, he urged the congregation to leave all their burdens for God.

CEASED MENSTRUATION RESTORED THROUGH MEDITATION WITH THE FAITH BRACELET

For many months, Miss Wilson Powel battled with the problem of ceased menstruation which saw her visit many hospitals and consume many drugs all to no avail. She was not happy with the way things were turning out and decided to visit The SCOAN, the Arena of Liberty. At The SCOAN, she received the Faith Bracelet with which she embarked on meditation on the Word of God asking God to take more of her and give her more of Himself.

Getting home that fateful day, she felt some stomach discomfort. Nonetheless, she went to sleep and waking up the next morning, she discovered that her menstruation was restored. Standing before the congregation at The SCOAN, she thanked God for using the Faith Bracelet medium to answer her prayer.

DIFFICULTY IN WALKING HEALED AT THE PRAYER LINE

DIFFICULTY IN WALKING HEALED AT THE PRAYER LINE
Mrs. Zaratu Audu from Ghana had a terrible waist pain that resulted to her difficulty in walking for seven long years due to lumbar spondylosis. She could not do anything but locked herself up in the room crying all day. In the midst of her anguish, a friend introduced her to the Emmanuel TV and she took great interest in the power-packed healings and deliverance taking place at The SCOAN. She thereafter came down to Lagos.

When she got to The SCOAN, she was arranged at the Prayer Line where the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed for  her in Jesus’ name. Since that time, she has been walking well and doing all her domestic duties excellently. All the pains and the difficulty that made her cry have all disappeared. Filled with joy and gratitude to God, she told the congregation that God wiped away her tears by using the man of God to heal her. She advised people all over the world to call upon God whenever they carry a burden because He will surely deliver them.

After the testimonies, clips of the happenings in Day 1 of the historic “Two-Day Crusade With Prophet T.B. Joshua” in the nation of Mexico was shown to the congregation and viewers all over the world.

God never stops giving us reasons to praise His Holy name. Through the medium of the Morning Water which was ministered to the congregants in Jesus’ name, the people were delivered from their various afflictions. To God be the Glory!

FAITH WORKS BY LOVE

Source by thetbjoshuafanclub

The mood at The SCOAN during the Sunday service of May 3, 2015 was ecstatic with demonstrations of how God’s people can be passionate in praise and thanksgiving for all the love their Father in heaven has been showering on them all the while. From the countenances of the visibly excited and elated congregants to the lyrical depth of the chorister’s deliveries, it was very obvious that they had come because of their love for the presence of God at The SCOAN as the Emmanuel Singers would put it in UNDER HIS EYES: “… HE watches over us day and night. We are not alone”.
In furtherance of the biblical concept of love and its applicability to the Christian life, the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, spoke philosophically about the subject and made fundamental allusions to the Bible in which love is described as the greatest. The same love that inspired Christ to lay down His life for mankind is the most universal price Christians have to pay to enter the kingdom of God: “Faith cannot work alone. Faith works by love. Without love, faith is faithless. This is the challenge we have in Christendom – we have faith but no love. That makes us live in a faithless generation. If there is love, the church will be one – but the church is not one. If there is love, there will be unity”.

According to the man of God, the totality of a Christian’s life is measured in terms of the love he extends to God and the people around, especially his neighbours and even those who hurt him/her: “A true Christian is measured by how much he loves God and his neighbour. God measures our life by our love for Him. Faith without love is faithless. Hope without love is hopeless. In 1 Corinthians 13:13, there are three things that will last forever – faith, hope and love. Among them, the greatest is love”.

At a time when the whole world is being strangulated by hate and bitterness, Prophet T.B. Joshua re-echoed the Christian standard of loving one another, irrespective of colour, race or religion. The man of God drew the attention of the congregation to the need to place our love for God above all other considerations: “Your belief in God is calculated by how much love you have for God and your neighbour. God is love. He who abides in love abides in God and God in him. It is not enough to believe in the unity of God but you must love Him above all things. I believe Jesus – it is not enough to believe in the unity of God. You must love God above all things. We must love one another, irrespective of religion or faith”.

In his conclusion, Prophet T.B. Joshua once again reminded Christians of the inevitability of trials and tribulations even in the face of all the love they show to the world. But he/she who continue to place God’s love above all things will never relent in showing love even to those who do not value it. Tribulations will continue to come because life is not meant to be sweet all through: “As you go, there is going to be difficult times. If anyone says life will be sweet throughout, it is not true. The Bible says in this world there will be tribulation but cheer up – I have overcome. Life is all about good times and hard times. If you are not from God, hard times will reveal you. If you are from God, those hard times will strengthen your desire and make you stronger and stronger. Your life is measured by your love for God”.

ECTOPIC PREGNANCY NORMALISED THROUGH ANOINTING WATER/STICKER MINISTRATION

For Mrs. Irakoze Nweta, a Tanzanian national, it took an unshakeable faith in God for her to put the devil to shame. Having been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy in 2013, the only option left for her was to undergo an operation that would see the pregnancy terminated in order to save her life. Her father, a staunch Christian had encouraged her to minister the Anointing Water and Anointing Sticker as soon as she conveyed to him the result of the ultra-sound scan carried out by her doctor. 
After ministering the anointing materials as directed by her father, she was encouraged to go and face her doctor in faith. On the scheduled day of the operation, a sister came to remind her that with God, all things are possible! She told her that pregnancy is God’s gift to her and she should not tamper with what God had given her. As she continued to minister the Anointing Water and Anointing Sticker, she defiantly refused to undergo an operation and left to another hospital. Within just one hour, the second hospital tested her and confirmed that the baby in her womb was completely normal and there was no trace of the ectopic pregnancy! Returning to the other hospital to request the discontinuation of the planed operation, the doctor was not happy with her. He therefore asked her to sign a document exonerating himself from whatever happens to her since she refused to go on with the operation. Several hours later, she delivered a bouncing baby boy without an operation and no complication! Everyone at the hospital was so shocked, the doctor in charge even personally calling the her into his office and telling her to ‘keep serving God’.
Testifying at The SCOAN in company of her mother and her baby boy, Mrs. Bukoro urged people all over the world to have trust and faith in God.

HEPATITIS B CURED THROUGH ANOINTING WATER MINISTRATION

Mrs. Georgina Ayamba was jolted by her doctor’s findings. The Ghanaian teacher was told by her doctor that all those body pains, headache and waist pain were as a result of hepatitis B, a terminal viral infection that has no known cure. Carrying out her domestic duties became very difficult even as it became apparent that she needed urgent help. The only help the doctor could offer was to give her some medication that would relieve the pains she felt.
Having realised that she was the only one infected in the entire family, her husband suggested they undergo a 3-day fasting and prayer in order to seek God’s help concerning her condition which he described as an attack. After the fasting and prayer session, Mr. Ayamba reminded his wife of the exploits of the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, via the Emmanuel TV channel which they watched frequently. Encouraging her to key into the miracles at The SCOAN, he told her he was sure that as soon as she stepped into The SCOAN, all her problems would be over.
Arriving at The SCOAN, Mrs. Ayamba was privileged to receive the Anointing Water with which she returned to Ghana in high spirits. That night, the couple prayed together while Mrs. Ayamba ministered the Anointing Water on her entire body. As she slept, she noticed that her body was so light. Unknown to her, the mighty hand of God in the Anointing Water medium was already at work in her life.
That same night in her dream, she found herself at The SCOAN where an usher was telling her not to mingle herself with sick people. The usher directed her to a different position declaring that she was not sick. When she woke up, she narrated her dream to her husband who thanked God and explained to her that the dream was a victorious one. She decided to return to the hospital to carry out another test. On getting to the hospital, she insisted on having another test carried out on her and behold, the result read negative. The hepatitis B virus had disappeared. How it happened, only God knows!
Filled with joy and the spirit of thanksgiving, Mrs. Ayamba vowed to continue to serve God for the rest of her life.

GASTRO ENTERITIS CURED THROUGH PRAYER VIA EMMANUEL TV

Mr. Don Eromosele suffered from gastro enteritis and did everything he could to cure himself but instead of getting better, the ailment got worse. As a lecturer, it was so embarrassing that on some occasions, he would have to run away from class to avoid messing himself up. Matters got to a head on a particular day when his condition worsened to the extent that he was stooling uncontrollably, running very high temperature and sweating profusely. He was rushed to the hospital by his wife and placed in the emergency ward.
After several tests and treatments, there was no improvement. Instead, his condition worsened. The hospital could not hide their frustration with his inability to recover. By the time the family became financially constrained, the wisest thing they did was to take him home. Back home, it was a sad tale. He was so destabilized by his condition that he could not even sit down properly. His wife became his greatest asset at this point. She would move him from one direction to the other and ensured that he was okay to some extent.
Mr. Eromosele was eventually introduced to The SCOAN by his younger brother who insisted that he needed to seek solution there. Arriving at The SCOAN, he had lodged in a hotel awaiting the registration of visitors who wanted to be at the Prayer Line. In his hotel room, he realized that the Emmanuel TV channel was aired. As he watched the Emmanuel TV, his attention was attracted to the prayers of the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua who was talking to viewers all over the world declaring that every sickness, affliction, curse and yoke were broken in Jesus’ name.
Keying into the prayers by the man of God, Mr. Eromosele managed to stretch his hand and placed it on the screen of the television responding with loud “amen” together with his wife. After the prayer, he placed his hand on his stomach and behold, a loud noise was heard as he felt a sensation of heat all over him. For the first time in a long while, he could sit down comfortably for long without rushing to the toilet. Even his temperature began to normalize.
Thanking God for the unexpected way his healing came, Mr. Eromosele confessed that he had wanted to go to the Prayer Line but received his healing in his hotel room through Emmanuel TV. To confirm his miraculous healing, tests were carried out and they showed that his condition was normal. All anomalies within his system were cleared through prayer via the Emmanuel TV channel. To God be the Glory!

NIGERIAN POLITICIAN DELIVERED FROM SMOKING ADDICTION THROUGH EMMANUEL TV!

Hon. Joseph Bassey was a chronic smoker. This was not just an addiction – it was an obsession! For 21 years, he smoked in a continuous chain – it was his first action in the morning and his last at night. “It was only when I slept that I didn’t smoke,” the Nigerian politician explained. Even politically, the bad habit was an embarrassing hindrance. As a member of the Cross Rivers State House of Assembly, he would be restless and rush to present his views so as to quickly leave the chambers and smoke.
One fateful day, Hon. Joseph visited his sister’s house and discovered them watching a Christian television station. It was Emmanuel TV. Intrigued by the events he was watching, the Nigerian politician decided to install Emmanuel TV in his own house. The more he watched, the more his faith began to grow! One day as Prophet T.B. Joshua was praying for viewers, Hon. Bassey decided to reach out and touch the screen of his television. A strange sensation erupted within his system and he immediately rushed to the restroom. After passing out an unusual substance, Hon. Bassey felt different. It was as if something had left him. From that day forward, smoking has become a thing of the past! “People even placed bets in my community as to when I would return to smoking,” the politician laughed, explaining that no one believed it was possible he could quit smoking. He added that his freedom from smoking has led him to introduce Emmanuel TV to multiple chain smokers in his community. Amazed at his transformation, many of them also received their deliverance from the addiction through Prophet T.B. Joshua’s prayers in Jesus’ name.
In addition, Hon. Bassey’s wife was diagnosed with a fibroid, rendering the couple childless. She had even travelled to India for an operation but still remained unable to conceive. After coming to The SCOAN and receiving the Anointing Water, he ministered it to his wife, praying that God would bless their home with a child. They met as husband and wife and shortly afterwards, his wife became pregnant and delivered a bouncing baby boy!
Finally, Hon. Joseph testified that he was successfully re-elected to Cross Rivers House of Assembly in the recently concluded elections, adding that he was the only candidate in his state that ran an election without an opponent in the primaries. “The favour of God in my life since I came to know Emmanuel TV, Prophet T.B. Joshua and the Anointing Water is just too much,” he testified. Advising congregants, especially politicians, he stated that there can be no genuine success without God. “You need God’s grace and guidance to serve in any capacity,” he said.

PROMOTED IN THE MIDST OF RETRENCHMENT THROUGH ANOINTING WATER MINISTRATION

The government company in Nigeria where Mr Aranki Rimamsike worked was taken over. With more than 50% of the workforce retrenched, the Adamawa-based man feared he was about to lose his job and source of livelihood. Deciding to rush down to The SCOAN, he was among those who received the Anointing Water which he ministered in his office while awaiting his fate. Remarkably, Mr Aranki was not only retained but promoted! A job that his new boss told him was actually reserved for expatriates– the head of the entire Finance Department – was miraculously given to him.
In addition, Mr Rimamsike had been wearing glasses due to a terrible case of poor vision for nearly 20 years. He could not even read bold letters without wearing spectacles. A spray of the Anointing Water however changed everything! Since ministering the Anointing Water in his eyes, Mr Aranki woke up the following morning and ‘forgot’ to wear his glasses. For over one year now, he has not touched the glasses and his vision is perfect!

LEGAL BATTLE STRUCK OUT THROUGH MORNING WATER MINISTRATION

Mr. Jan Ntamane from South Africa started an eco-tourism project in his country in 2007 but got stalked along the line in 2010 due to certain challenges. Some other business owners had sued him to court arguing that he did not get the necessary approvals before embarking on the project and must be immediately demolished. And being an environmentally sensitive location, the matter assumed serious dimensions. He was summoned by the provincial government and the high court on different occasions. He was undeniably in the eye of the storm almost going bankrupt in a bid to clear himself. He had even borrowed money from a prominent South African bank but instead of progress, trouble was rearing its ugly head. Mr. Ntamane also experienced a bizarre trend in which robbers would visit and rob him during every winter for several years at the premises of the same project.
Bent on disentangling himself from the legal battle that could cost him his investment, he visited The SCOAN in March 2013. As soon as he arrived at The SCOAN, he felt flashes of hope and envisioned himself making progress in life. By the time he eventually met the man of God, instead of talking about his business, the man of God counselled him about his health and the need to avoid worry. After offering him counselling and prayer, the man of God gave him the Anointing Water which he ministered in Jesus’ name.
Upon returning to South Africa, the case, which was taken to the highest legal court in South Africa and widely reported in newspapers across the country, was incredibly struck out alongside all the charges against him. Mr Ntemane explained that his case is now the subject of study for South African legal students specializing in the environment due to its unique nature!
Radiating the glory of God, Mr. Ntamane urged people to minister the Anointing Water in faith and that God will see them through.

DELIVERED FROM DEMONIC BEADS

When Miss Franca bought a set of attractive beads from an unusual market woman, little did she know her life would be plunged into the throws of demonic bondage. In a dream the night before, the young lady saw herself wearing an unusual set of beads. Waking up, a small voice within prompted her to visit the local market where she discovered the very same beads she saw in the dream available for sale.
Wearing it around her waist, Franca instantly became connected to a world under the water. She would see herself in a river in the dream, dressed in fine robes and sending people on errands as if she were a queen. Physically however, trouble erupted. Franca was disgustingly raped shortly after her demonic acquisition, the abuse followed by a strange sequence of events. Firstly, men began romantically approaching the young lady, as if she possessed something that seduced or enticed them. In addition, she lost all interest for her academics and schooling, eventually dropping out. Also, her menstruation strangely ceased after she wore the beads. As the setbacks and disappointments continue to mount in her life, she succumbed to the advice of a friend to visit The SCOAN for deliverance. As Prophet T.B. Joshua offered mass prayer, he began releasing prophetic words to the congregation. “There is a lady here with beads around her waist,” he instantly pronounced. “This stands for destruction.” Franca was shocked. She had not told anyone of the jewellery surrounding her waist. Coming forward, she renounced her covenant with demons through the unusual beads and removed them from her body. The following day, her menstruation was restored and she has been disconnected from that evil chain that satan had used to connect her to himself.
