Unveiling the Truth: Racheal’s Controversial Journey within SCOAN – A Closer Look

Rae, Enthralled by Legions of Darkness

In this exploration, we delve into the narrative surrounding Racheal, one of the accusers featured in the controversial staged and fabricated BBC documentary targeting Prophet TB Joshua and the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN). Understanding her background sheds light on the complexities of the accusations and the motivations behind her actions.

Racheal’s familial context becomes crucial in comprehending her trajectory. Her father, Nicholas Holmes, assumes significance in this narrative, as his role becomes instrumental in her eventual departure from SCOAN and the adoption of a blasphemous stance. Racheal embarked on her SCOAN journey seeking deliverance. However, what remains undisclosed is the reason she remained under the stronghold of her demon, now Legions even after her first deliverance.

The reasons for Racheal’s journey to SCOAN was a deeply ingrained problem known at the SCOAN as the ‘Spirit of Women,’ manifesting as an attraction to individuals of the same sex (Lesbianism). Seeking a solution, her family took her to SCOAN for spiritual intervention and deliverance. Following the deliverance sessions with Prophet TB Joshua, Racheal experienced a transformation—her previously intense desires for individuals of the same gender come to an end. Filled with gratitude for this newfound freedom, she expressed her interest in becoming a disciple at SCOAN’s headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria.

Prophet TB Joshua, trusting in Racheal’s sincerity, transformation and show of genuine repentance, accepted her as a disciples and bestowed upon her numerous responsibilities within SCOAN. Her commitment and devotion were acknowledged as she was anointed as a Junior Prophet, attaining the second-highest rank in SCOAN’s hierarchy under Prophet TB Joshua. This elevation showcased the level of trust and goodwill the Prophet extended to Racheal.

However, unknown to everyone, a sinister plot was unfolding. Racheal, in collaboration with her father, who held a position in the accounting department as the head, was clandestinely orchestrating the embezzlement of church funds from the SCOAN London branch in the UK. The very trust bestowed upon her by the Prophet was exploited for personal gain, revealing a hidden agenda that would later impacted Racheal profoundly.

How Racheal Loses her Deliverance – The Sins Of The Father

Despite undergoing deliverance that seemingly freed Racheal from her struggles with same-sex attraction, a disconcerting chapter emerged when reports surfaced of her engaging in sexual molestation of fellow female disciples within their living quarters at the SCOAN. Disturbed by these revelations, the affected individuals brought the matter to Prophet TB Joshua’s attention, prompting swift action.

In response to the reports, Prophet TB Joshua decided to send Racheal back to her parents in the UK. Acknowledging her repentance and plea to return, she was eventually welcomed back into the Church. However, Prophet TB Joshua, still perplexed by the recurrence of Racheal’s previous behavior, initiated an inquiry that would unearth a shocking revelation.

The Prophet discovered a deeply troubling collaboration between Racheal and her father, Mr. Nicholas Holmes, who held a significant position as the head of the SCOAN UK branch’s accounting department. It was unveiled that they were embezzling funds meant for the SCOAN UK branch, with Mr. Holmes allegedly indulging in extravagant lifestyle that he was found of purchasing new car often during this illicit collaboration.

Prophet TB Joshua, in response to this breach of trust and financial malfeasance, made the decision to remove Mr. Nicholas Holmes from the accounting department, replacing him with another individual, Mr. Samuel Durojaye. This decisive action, however, triggered a vehement reaction from Racheal. Fiercely loyal to her father, she adamantly declared that if her father was to be removed from his position, she would sever ties with the ministry of Prophet TB Joshua.

Racheal Now Rae, Enthralled by Legions of Darkness

“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”

Mathew 12:43-45 (NIV)

In the aftermath of this conflict, Racheal left SCOAN without undergoing the second deliverance she so evidently required. The scripture make use to understand in Matthew 12:43-45 (NIV) that a person can lose her deliverance due to sin and be repossessed by even more and worst demons. Racheal presently is under the influence of legions of demons – Possessed by the Multitudes of Infernal Spirits far worse than before her coming to the SCOAN. Contrary to her claim that SCOAN’s deliverance is ineffective, the underlying motive for her departure was her vehement objection to her father’s removal from the accounting department.

It is crucial to dispel the narrative propagated by Racheal, emphasizing that her lack of deliverance was not due to any inherent flaw in the deliverances taken place in the SCOAN. Instead, Racheal departure was fueled by a sinful pursuit of financial gain by her and her father, Mr. Nicholas Holmes, a betrayal of the trust bestowed upon them by Prophet TB Joshua.

Amidst these campaign of calumny against Prophet TB Joshua and The SCOAN, it is imperative for the world to discern the truth from the falsehoods presented by Racheal. The testimonies of numerous individuals within SCOAN who have experienced genuine healing and deliverance stand as a testament to the authenticity of the ministry. Let the fruits of SCOAN’s impact speak louder than the distortions created by one individual’s misguided actions. Healing and deliverance are real and authentic for those who believe and seek them with genuine hearts.

This revelation invites us to question the motivations behind Racheal’s accusations and whether her actions were driven by a genuine disillusionment with SCOAN or if they were influenced by personal vendettas and concealed intentions.

Below are some videos testimonies of individuals who experienced deliverance from the same spirit that Racheal claimed she did not find deliverance from at the SCOAN:

Angie’s Troubled Path: From Trauma to SCOAN London Hijacker, and Becoming TB Joshua Accuser

Angie, The Accuser of TB Joshua

It is important to note that these revelations are not meant to defame Angie but to set the record straight. Since she has chosen the path of online vendetta against Prophet TB Joshua and SCOAN instead of seeking recourse through appropriate government authorities, if she indeed has a genuine case, we too find it necessary to respond and defend the integrity of the man of God through the same online medium.

As we persist in exposing the falsehood and vindictive motives behind the accusers of Prophet TB Joshua and the Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) in the deceptive BBC documentary, this article delves into the shadows of Angie’s tumultuous journey. Her narrative is characterized by childhood trauma, an unsettling involvement in the SCOAN London branch hijacking, and a subsequent transformation into an unexpected accuser of TB Joshua. Unveiling the layers of this dark tale, we navigate through the complexities of Angie’s experiences, piecing together a compelling saga of adversity, intrigue, and accusation.

Angie, one of the blasphemers featured in the controversial fabricated and staged BBC documentary targeting Prophet TB Joshua and SCOAN, embarked on a tumultuous journey that led her from a traumatic past of sexual molestation to becoming a disciple of the renowned prophet. Her troubled childhood experiences brought her to the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) seeking deliverance and solace.

After undergoing deliverance at SCOAN, Angie found herself drawn to the teachings and guidance of Prophet TB Joshua. Her past trauma, particularly related to sexual abuse, had left her struggling with the inability to control her emotions, actions and sexual desire. Compassionate towards her plight, Prophet TB Joshua welcomed her into the SCOAN family as a disciple.

In an unexpected turn of events, Angie expressed her desire to get married. She eventually tied the knot with Dave, the eldest son of the Tonge family, who had already been anointed as a junior prophet by Prophet TB Joshua. Contrary to her falsehood in the BBC documentary of disciples not being allowed to marry, the prophet generously supported and officiated their wedding, showcasing his commitment to the well-being and happiness of his disciples.

Watch The Video Proof of Prophet TB Joshua officiating her marriage in the SCOAN

Acknowledging the challenges of housing a married couple within the SCOAN headquarters in Lagos, Prophet TB Joshua directed Dave and Angie to lead the church branch in the UK. Little did the congregation in the UK know that this decision would mark the beginning of a divisive and troubling chapter in the history of the SCOAN UK branch.

Despite their initial status as disciples seeking divine intervention for their troubled pasts, Dave and Angie Tonge assumed leadership roles as pastors of the London branch of SCOAN. Their tumultuous journey from troubled individuals to spiritual leaders highlighted the prophet’s belief in empowering the youth, entrusting them with significant responsibilities.

However, as the couple navigated their newfound roles, signs of disaffection and discontent within the congregation became evident. The Tonges, while delivering thought-provoking sermons recycled from Prophet TB Joshua, started displaying tendencies of control and discrimination, particularly by Angie towards the African members of the church.

Racism and Discrimination Against Black Africans

The inclusive and embracing philosophy upheld by Prophet TB Joshua, a man known for his non-racist and loving conduct, began to wane within the SCOAN UK branch. Dave and Angie Tonge, co-pastors of the church, took an alarming turn towards racism and discrimination, particularly targeting black members.

Angie, being a South African of white descent, emerged as the dominant figure within the couple. Her attitude reflected a disturbing trend of controlling black members and casting aspersions on their culture. The husband, Dave, at times appeared unconcerned or indifferent to these actions, raising questions about the true agenda of the pastoral leadership.

A noticeable divide emerged within the church as Angie developed a close-knit circle primarily consisting of a few South Africans and two Zimbabwean Asians. This shift in dynamics led to an open rebellion by black African members who felt marginalized and unwelcome. Several congregants left the church due to the racial tension perpetuated by the couple.

The Tonges’ behavior escalated, with Angie openly expressing her disdain for African culture. This was met with resistance from members who refused to apologize publicly as demanded by the pastors. Despite the contributions of black members in performing various tasks, including babysitting and household chores, Angie’s discriminatory mindset prevailed.

Plans to Hijack SCOAN London; The Breakaway

Amidst growing discontent and protest within the SCOAN UK branch, a disturbing revelation unfolded regarding the intentions of the pastors, Dave and Angie Tonge. Congregants expressed anger over the treatment they received, revealing a palpable fear and mistrust of the pastors’ true intentions.

Alarming information came to light about the pastors’ investing a substantial sum, approximately £20,000, in flooding London with billboards promoting the church. However, what heightened concerns was the revelation that the posters exclusively featured images of white individuals, deviating significantly from the diverse and inclusive nature of SCOAN. Shockingly, it was disclosed that the name SCOAN was to be discarded in favor of a new name, “Faith Acts Now,” as displayed on the billboards and a new website created www.faithactsnow.com. The printed billboards conspicuously portrays that the SCOAN UK branch, rebranded as ‘Faith Act Now,’ is in partnership with SCOAN, a ministry owned by Dave and Angel. However, all of this has been executed without the knowledge or approval of Prophet TB Joshua, the founder of the SCOAN UK branch.

Hence, concern members sent emails to SCOAN Lagos of a grand plan to hijack the UK church by the residency pastors. Upon learning of these unsettling betrayer, Prophet TB Joshua intervened to reclaim the SCOAN UK branch that Dave and Angel had change the name and also created a new website for. This decision elicited a strong reaction from Angie, who, seeing the potential loss of benefits associated with departing from SCOAN, resorted to desperate measures.

Below is the billboard that Dave and Angie flooded London with. For the sake of individual privacy, we have excluded billboards featuring church members’ faces:

The culmination of these events include their departure with certain members to form an anti-TBJoshua blog (https://watchedtbjoshua.wordpress.com/2015/03/08/tb-joshua-worst-enemy-angelique-tonge-exposed/ ), marked a dark period in the history of SCOAN UK. The racism and discrimination exhibited by the pastoral leadership contradicted the values and principles advocated by Prophet TB Joshua, leading to a fractured congregation and tarnishing the once harmonious reputation of the church.

In an unexpected turn of events, Angie traveled to Lagos, Nigeria, SCOAN headquarter hiding a camera, with the intention to force her way through the SCOAN gate she started making a sensational claims of sexual assault against Prophet TB Joshua, shouting he rape me!, he rape me!! A scripted acting scene she has continue to parade about as her evidence against the SCOAN. It is important to note that her allegations against the man of God surfaced after the Prophet thwarted Angie and her husband attempts to hijack the SCOAN UK branch and assert ownership over it.

Hence, it is crucial to highlight that Angie Tonge falsehood in the BBC documentary series were part of a calculated mission by an individual with a clear vendetta mission against Prophet TB Joshua and SCOAN. Their actions, including attempting to hijack the SCOAN London branch and tarnishing the reputation of the prophet through false accusations, reveal a sinister agenda.

Angie Tongue and the group of disgruntled disciples featured in the false BBC documentary may believe they are on a successful mission to tarnish the reputation of Prophet TB Joshua and the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN). However, unknown to them, they are unwittingly being manipulated and exploited by their sponsors, who are evidently enemies of Prophet TB Joshua and the divine work at SCOAN. The harsh reality is that their mission is bound to fail, and in the process, they are subjecting themselves to public ridicule. The undeniable truth is that they are becoming instruments of betrayal against the Church of God, and future generations will remember them as agents of betrayal against the sacred institution.

The public must exercise caution and discernment, recognizing that these individuals are not as innocent as they portray themselves. The orchestrated campaign against Prophet TB Joshua underscores the need for vigilance and discernment when assessing the motives and credibility of those making allegations.

YouTube Takes Another Hit on Truth: Watched TB Joshua Channel Remove

In an expected move, YouTube seems to be taking sides in the ongoing controversy surrounding the staged and fabricated BBC documentary on Prophet TB Joshua and the Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN). The latest target is the “Watched TB Joshua” YouTube channel, which has been taken down, making one to question the platform’s commitment to neutrality.

The channel, known for its objective analysis and exposure of falsehoods and slander in the BBC documentary, joins the ranks of other pro-TB Joshua channels that have faced similar takedowns. This includes the official YouTube channel of Prophet TB Joshua and SCOAN. The common thread among these channels is their dedication to presenting an alternative perspective and unveiling the truth with evidences.

YouTube’s actions are preventing the dissemination of views contrary to those presented in the BBC controversial documentary. This moves should spark concerns about censorship and the suppression of alternative narratives, leaving the public with limited access to different viewpoints.

The situation raises questions about the integrity of YouTube, a platforms that play a significant role in shaping public opinion. This act is indicative of a broader trend where alternative voices are stifled, limiting the public’s ability to make informed decisions.

They don’t want the public to know the truth. They are blocking alternative views, and the public must be wise; these are signs of end times. Do not be deceived; the world and its establishment are after the true church.

In response to this censorship, “Watched TB Joshua” has taken preemptive measures. Anticipating potential removal, the channel has already established a presence on Rumble, an alternative video-sharing platform. The new channel on Rumble aims to continue providing exclusive content related to TB Joshua and SCOAN, ensuring that subscribers and supporters can access information beyond the reach of mainstream platforms.

The call to action encourages those interested in TB Joshua and SCOAN to subscribe to the Rumble channel via the link: https://rumble.com/c/Watchedtbjoshua. This move is seen as a strategic step to counter the limitations imposed by YouTube and maintain an open dialogue about the ongoing events.

As the controversy unfolds, the takedown of “Watched TB Joshua” on YouTube raises critical questions about the role of major platforms in controlling information flow and the potential impact on public perception. It also serves as a reminder that alternative platforms may become essential in preserving diverse perspectives and fostering free expression in an increasingly interconnected digital landscape.

Mary Titilayo: A Testament to TB Joshua’s True Character and Miraculous Acts

In a compelling testimony, Mary Titilayo, one of Prophet TB Joshua’s earliest disciples, breaks her silence over the false allegations raised by some ex-disciples in the failed BBC documentary. Mary, who lived with TB Joshua from 1991 to 1999, shares unknown facts about the late prophet, shedding light on his character and the miraculous events at The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN).

Mary describes TB Joshua as a holy, humble, and pure-hearted man who cared deeply for his followers and their families. She emphasizes that the news circulating about him brings her to tears, prompting her to courageously reveal the truth about this “pure man of God.”

The testimony delves into the early years, highlighting TB Joshua’s intense prayer life. Mary vividly recalls a significant event in 1991-92 when TB Joshua prayed fervently for 9:00am to 9:00pm on his knees. She also give an account on how the Prophet prayed on the dry ground that is presently the SCOAN Prayer Mountain, leading to the miraculous emergence of water at that specific location. She attests to the divine nature of this water, which continues to be a source of healing for many.

Addressing the recent criticisms and allegations, Mary passionately defends TB Joshua, stating that he was a genuine man of God, a man of faith, and humility. She expresses sorrow for those speaking against him and reminds them of the biblical principle that those who fight against God will not succeed.

Rebuttal to openDemocracy’s Article on TB Joshua and SCOAN Former Disciples

Prophet TB Joshua and Disciples

In response to the openDemocracy article on TB Joshua and SCOAN, it’s important to note that there might have been no need to respond to their piece. However, this response is being crafted solely for record-keeping and to provide support to those who may be struggling in faith or misinformed, while also acknowledging the potential biases and implications of the source. The openDemocracy article, which claims to have conducted a six-month investigation, raises concerns about the late Prophet TB Joshua and his disciples. However, it is crucial to thoroughly examine the validity of their findings and assess the objectivity of their reporting. One significant aspect to consider is openDemocracy’s affiliation as an advocacy group for the rights of homosexuals and lesbians. As believers, we can discern the potential implications and biases that may arise from such a perspective. It is essential to keep this in mind while evaluating their claims and allegations. Furthermore, it is worth noting that openDemocracy was the entity that petitioned YouTube to block the Emmanuel TV Christian channel. Their petition was based on concerns related to deliverance and testimonial videos involving individuals from the LGBTQ+ community. This fact should be recorded and considered when considering the potential influence of their advocacy in shaping perspectives.

The article in question asserts that several former top-ranking members of SCOAN have claimed to witness or experience abuse. However, it fails to provide substantial evidence to support these allegations. Without verifiable proof, it becomes imperative to exercise caution and avoid drawing conclusions based solely on uncorroborated testimonies. The potential for misinformation or personal vendettas cannot be overlooked when evaluating such claims.

The credibility of the sources cited by openDemocracy is questionable. It is essential to evaluate the motives and biases of those making the accusations. The lack of a balanced representation, including perspectives from current members or individuals who had positive experiences within SCOAN, raises concerns about the objectivity of the investigation.

The article mentions a collaboration between openDemocracy and the BBC, which resulted in a documentary that serves as a basis for some of the claims made. However, it is crucial to note that this documentary has been discredited for fabrication and staging. The inaccuracies and false narratives presented in the documentary highlight the need for discernment when considering the allegations against Prophet TB Joshua and SCOAN. Relying on credible information and thorough investigations is paramount to ensure a fair judgment and prevent the dissemination of sensationalized narratives.

While the article focuses primarily on alleged abuses and criticisms, it overlooks the positive impact of Prophet TB Joshua’s ministry. His humanitarian efforts, charitable works, and positive influence on the lives of millions worldwide are integral parts of his legacy that deserve recognition. Ignoring these aspects presents an incomplete and biased portrayal of SCOAN and its founder. 

The article implies that the ministries established by former disciples of TB Joshua should be considered a threat. The question arises: what type of threat do these ministries pose? Are they scared these ministries may depopulate the LGBTQ+ community? And liberating the captives and breaking free their chains? The article’s perspective seems to overlook the positive contributions of these ministries, including fostering spiritual growth, providing community support, and engaging in charitable activities. However, these ministries might be perceived as threats only to the kingdom opposing them—the kingdom set to diminish in the face of God’s glory and divine influence.

Moreover, it is essential to recognize the broader impact of Prophet TB Joshua legacy beyond the false allegations highlighted in the openDemocracy article.

Prophet TB Joshua’s ministry was marked by a global reach, impacting millions of lives with its unique blend of Pentecostalism and televangelism. While acknowledging the challenges posed by former disgruntle disciples, it is equally important to appreciate the positive transformations reported by numerous individuals who have benefited from SCOAN’s teachings, healings, deliverances and prayers.

openDemocracy has highlighted Pastor Evelyn Joshua’s revival in Nairobi, Kenya, as if it were a cause for skepticism. However, it is crucial to recognize that Pastor Mummy Evelyn Joshua has been actively involved in continuing the ministry’s mission of healing and spiritual uplifting after the passing of her husband, Prophet TB Joshua.

The description of the event fails to acknowledge the genuine spiritual experiences that attendees encountered. The testimonies of divine healing and the display of faith should be seen in the context of the congregation’s deep connection with the teachings and principles established by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through Prophet TB Joshua during his lifetime.

More so, the decision to transition Emmanuel TV to a purely satellite and digital distribution model is a strategic move in alignment with the evolving media landscape. This shift does not diminish the authenticity of the ministry’s message but rather demonstrates an adaptation to contemporary means of reaching a global audience.

In essence, portraying Pastor Evelyn Joshua’s crusade in Nairobi, Kenya as questionable overlooks the sincere efforts to carry forward the spiritual legacy established by Prophet TB Joshua. It is essential to approach these narratives with an understanding of the broader context and the spiritual significance they hold for the SCOAN community in particular and the Christian community in general.

The article raises doubts about the authenticity of healing and deliverance videos featured on Emmanuel TV. While skepticism might be a healthy approach, it is important to avoid dismissing God’s ability to heal and deliver through His faithful servants. Such a hasty dismissal is misleading. It is crucial to acknowledge the diversity of beliefs and practices within the realm of the Christian faith. Just because one may not personally believe in something does not necessarily negate its truth or validity.

Furthermore, openDemocracy presents an account of John Chi’s ministry that raises questions about the authenticity of his spiritual practices and the connection with his mentor, Prophet TB Joshua. It is crucial to approach such assessments with discernment, acknowledging that spiritual experiences and beliefs are personal.

The article highlights similarities between John Chi’s ministry of the Ark of God’s Covenant and SCOAN, insinuating a replication of structure and practices. However, the shared characteristics could be attributed to a shared spiritual heritage rather than an attempt to imitate or capitalize on TB Joshua’s legacy. Spiritual mentorship often involves imparting principles and values, which might naturally manifest in the mentee’s ministry.

Acknowledging the resemblance in structure and sermons could be seen as a testament to the impactful teachings and methodologies instilled by Prophet TB Joshua during John Chi’s time at SCOAN. It’s not uncommon for disciples to carry forward the practices of their mentors, aiming to preserve the essence of the teachings that have positively influenced countless lives.

The mention of Ark of God’s Covenant London branch established in 2022 is a demonstration of the global reach and impact of John Chi’s ministry, paralleling the broader trend of churches expanding their influence through multiple locations. The presence of attendees and their experiences during services should be viewed in the context of their personal faith and belief systems.

John Chi’s acknowledgment of TB Joshua as a significant influence on his life is a recognition of the mentorship and guidance he received during his time at SCOAN. This sentiment is shared by many disciples who attribute their spiritual growth to the teachings and practices instilled by their mentors.

Likewise, openDemocracy’s portrayal of Prophet Chris of God’s Heart TV, raises concerns that need a balanced perspective. Chris, a UK national, founded his Pentecostal ministry after being a disciple of TB Joshua. While his digital reach has grown, focusing on TB Joshua’s teachings doesn’t necessarily imply exploitation.

God’s Heart TV’s emphasis on interactive prayer and healing sessions reflects a common aspect of Pentecostal ministries.

The article points out Brother Chris’s popularity in re-sharing TB Joshua content. This could be an acknowledgment of the impact TB Joshua had on Chris’s spiritual journey rather than an attempt to overshadow individuality.

Chris’s gratitude for his time at SCOAN, as mentioned on his website, is a personal expression of his spiritual journey. It doesn’t necessarily imply blind endorsement of every action by TB Joshua.

Regarding Tsakonidis, leveraging a relationship with TB Joshua doesn’t inherently suggest wrongdoing. The failure to publicly acknowledge false abuse allegations might be due to various reasons, and a fair assessment requires considering the broader context.

It is crucial to approach openDemocracy’s investigation—an advocate for the rights of homosexuals and lesbians—with a critical mindset. This involves considering potential biases, the absence of substantiated evidence, and ensuring an overall balance when presenting the legacy of Prophet TB Joshua. A fair and unbiased evaluation of the facts is paramount for an accurate understanding of the situation. Above all, let the spirit of God be our ultimate influencer. Turn to God in prayer to reveal to you the true identity of Prophet TB Joshua and what the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) represents.

Evangelist Justine Rebuts BBC Documentary: Unveiling Truths About TB Joshua and SCOAN

In response to the recent fabricated and stage-managed BBC documentary targeting Prophet TB Joshua and The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN), former disciple Justin from Australia has come forward to share his 13-year journey with the ministry. In a compelling video, Justin addresses and refutes the allegations presented in the documentary, providing a firsthand account of his experiences and seeking to counter the narrative of defamation.

Having joined SCOAN in 2006 after witnessing the Australia for Christ Crusade, Justin abandoned a promising career in professional golf to dedicate 13 years of his life to serving God under Prophet TB Joshua. From his initial roles in the Youth Department to later serving as the prophet’s personal secretary, Justin gained a deep understanding of the ministry’s operations and witnessed countless instances of faith, healing, and transformation.

Justin vehemently denies claims of disciples being recorded while having showers, dismissing it as a baseless attempt to paint Prophet TB Joshua and SCOAN as a cult. He refutes the absurd notion that disciples needed passes from Prophet TB Joshua’s office to use the toilet, labeling it as a ridiculous statement with no basis in reality.

He clarifies that the use of “daddy” was a cultural norm in Nigeria and not imposed by Prophet TB Joshua, emphasizing its context within the local culture. Justin also dispels allegations of mistreatment within the five-story apartment, addressing claims of inappropriate actions by Prophet TB Joshua as coordinated attacks on the prophet’s character.

On the topic of sexual abuse, Justin strongly disagrees with allegations, asserting that they do not align with the reality he witnessed during his tenure at SCOAN. He attests to the authenticity of healing miracles at SCOAN, providing insights into the meticulous process of documenting testimonies and rejecting claims of staged miracles.

Justin acknowledges that not everyone experienced instant healing in the prayer line, emphasizing that supernatural healing is subject to God’s will and timing. He shares firsthand insights into the adoption of Prophet TB Joshua’s daughter, refuting any rumors surrounding her background.

Justin also clarifies the family relationship between Chloe and Chris, referring to them as biological siblings. Addressing the building collapse in 2014, he states that it was a controlled demolition orchestrated by external forces. He credits CCTV footage for capturing the incident, reports from security service around the world and refutes claims that Prophet TB Joshua was involved.

In conclusion, Justin’s video serves as a passionate defense of Prophet TB Joshua and SCOAN against the allegations presented in the BBC documentary. He urges viewers to seek the truth and form opinions based on accurate information, calling the documentary an attack on the body of Christ.

Unmasking Deception: The Truth Behind Jessica’s BBC Conflicting Testimonies

Jessica

In the aftermath of the false and stage-managed BBC documentary on Prophet TB Joshua and the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), numerous testimonies and evidences have emerged, shedding light on the authenticity of the claims made against the renowned ministry. One such testimony involves Jessica, a key figure in the documentary, whose conflicting statements during a deliverance session have raised questions about the accuracy of her allegations in the false documentary series.

Evangelist Nelson of the Light Of Hope TV has taken the initiative to scrutinize Jessica’s statements and expose what he believes to be lies propagated by the actors and actresses in the BBC-produced film. With over 12 years of mentorship under Prophet TB Joshua, Evangelist Nelson aims to present evidence that challenges the credibility of the documentary.

In the BBC documentary, Jessica presented herself as a virgin, claiming innocence and professing ignorance about the concept of lust. However, Evangelist Nelson unveils an exclusive video capturing Jessica undergoing a deliverance session at SCOAN, where an entirely different narrative unfolds. In this powerful moment of scriptural deliverance, Jessica confesses to harboring the spirit of lust and admits to being promiscuous, drawing parallels between herself and a dog.

This video documentation mirrors the biblical accounts of Jesus casting out demons during His earthly ministry. Jessica, evidently under the influence of the Holy Ghost, confesses to the destructive spiritual influences that allegedly dictated her behavior.

Evangelist Nelson draws attention to the glaring disparity between Jessica’s two narratives, emphasizing the contradiction between her professed innocence and her admission of promiscuity during the deliverance session. He underscores the significance of scriptural deliverance and the transformative power of the Holy Ghost in exposing the truth.

As viewers, it is incumbent upon us to scrutinize the evidence objectively and render judgments based on verifiable facts. Evangelist Nelson advocates for a discerning approach, urging everyone to “make sure of all things and take hold of that which is true.” This echoes the biblical principle of seeking the truth that sets one free.

In the midst of emotional portrayals and scripted narratives, the call is for objectivity, commitment to the truth, and a refusal to be swayed by theatrical performances. The evidence presented challenges the credibility of Jessica’s testimony, prompting questions about the intentions and influences behind those disgruntle elements in the BBC documentary.

Miracles and Healings at SCOAN: Testimonies Defy BBC Falsehood

In light of the recent fabricated and stage-managed BBC documentary raising doubts about the authenticity of miracles and healings at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) led by Prophet TB Joshua, testifiers at the Sunday service on January 21, 2024, came forward to share their powerful testimonies, countering the claims of deception and fakery.

One remarkable testimony came from Elizabeth, who, 18 years ago, suffered a fracture of the kneecap. Unable to perform daily tasks, she sought divine intervention at SCOAN. Through the prayers of Prophet TB Joshua, she declared, “It was the God of Prophet TB Joshua who gave me a second chance.” Elizabeth’s healing has endured, proving the authenticity of the miracles at SCOAN.

Abayomi, who suffered severe burns as a child, testified to the permanent healing he received 22 years ago through the prayer of healing by Prophet TB Joshua. Now, with a family of his own, Abayomi emphasized, “God’s healing is permanent in my life,” encouraging others to put their trust in Jesus Christ.

A Nigerian Police officer, Gift, shared how Prophet TB Joshua sponsored his overseas surgery after surviving a gunshot. Ten years after the intervention, Gift’s transformation remains evident, and he urged others to continue trusting in God.

Rosemary’s testimony added another layer of evidence, as she revisited SCOAN 11 years after her healing from a ruptured nasal artery. Not only did she experience physical healing, but the Prophet also provided financial support for her family. Rosemary affirmed, “The God of Prophet TB Joshua still remains the Almighty God, who heals, saves, and delivers.”

These testimonies stand as a testament to the genuine miracles and healings taking place at SCOAN, refuting the allegations raised in the BBC documentary.

Exposing Deception: Former Church Member Stephen Amponsom Shares Shocking Testimony

BIsola

In a riveting revelation, former member Stephen Amponsom, along with his wife Amella Campbell Amponsom, based in Los Angeles California, exposes a disturbing incident of deception and fraud involving Bisola, one of the accusers in the recent BBC documentary targeting Prophet TB Joshua and The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN).

Stephen Amponsom begins his account by narrating a life-changing experience at The Synagogue Church of All Nations. In 1987, plagued by a severe illness and a deteriorating mental state, Amponsom sought solace in Nigeria. Despite futile attempts at finding a cure in various churches, it was his encounter with a spiritual woman that eventually led him to The SCOAN. Amponsom vividly describes the healing he experienced under the ministry of Prophet TB Joshua. A man on the brink of mental collapse found complete restoration through the prayers and healing touch of the renowned pastor.

The story takes a dark turn as Amponsom delves into the accusations against Bisola, a former member of The SCOAN. According to Amponsom, he became entangled in a fraudulent scheme orchestrated by Bisola and another individual named Theo Ukpa.

Bisola, claiming to be a representative of TB Joshua, deceived Amponsom and his wife into sending $2,000 and expensive clothing, believing the gifts were destined for the church. Shockingly, it was later revealed that Prophet TB Joshua never received these contributions, and Bisola was no longer associated with The Synagogue Church.

Stephen Amponsom issues a stern warning to the public, urging caution and discernment. He declares Bisola as a fraudulent individual, using the name of the Prophet to exploit the unsuspecting faithful. Amponsom emphasizes that the deceit goes beyond personal experiences, as he believes Bisola has been deceiving others for financial gain.

Amponsom takes a moment to express his deep gratitude to TB Joshua for the profound impact the ministry had on his life. He credits the anointing and prayers of the pastor for his healing and restoration, emphasizing that he is just one among many who have witnessed miracles at The Synagogue, Church of All Nations.

For an in-depth account of Stephen Amponsom’s shocking testimony and the warning against Bisola, watch the full video on YouTube. The video provides a comprehensive insight into the deceptive practices and the personal experiences of those affected.

As controversies continue to surround the failed fabricated and staged-managed BBC documentary on TB Joshua and The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Stephen Amponsom’s testimony sheds light on the complexities and challenges faced by former members. The call for discernment and vigilance resonates throughout his account, emphasizing the need to separate genuine accusations from fraudulent activities.

Edward Garder: A Faithful Disciple Testimony on TB Joshua and SCOAN

In the midst of swirling controversies surrounding Prophet TB Joshua and The Synagogue Church of All Nations, former disciple Edward Garder steps forward to provide a firsthand account of his experiences within the renowned ministry. As a disciple, Edward witnessed and actively participated in the compassionate work, and miracles that defined the ministry.

Prophet TB Joshua, a revered and scrutinized figure, has been the subject of recent discussions, particularly fueled by a fabricated BBC documentary. Edward Garder aims to offer a counter-narrative, shedding light on the compassionate endeavors that transcended borders. The ministry, under Prophet TB Joshua’s leadership, extended aid to victims of natural disasters, provided scholarships for education, and exemplified a commitment to serving humanity.

One significant aspect of Edward’s testimony revolves around the miracles witnessed at The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN). Working extensively in the Emergency Department, he emphasizes the authenticity of these miracles. From cancers disappearing to the blind gaining sight, the documented medical verifications stood as evidence of the supernatural healings that occurred within the church.

Edward’s narrative takes a personal turn as he recounts an impactful act of generosity from Prophet TB Joshua. He shares the heartfelt testimony of how the Prophet sent financial support to his parents, demonstrating a commitment to caring for not only the spiritual but also the practical needs of those connected to the ministry.

He talk about the rigorous discipleship training provided by Prophet TB Joshua. Edward highlights the grounding of disciples in the word of God and the additional provision of professional skills development. The ministry went beyond spiritual growth, equipping disciples with practical skills in areas such as camera work, voiceover artistry, and more.

Addressing misconceptions presented in the BBC documentary, Edward clarifies Prophet TB Joshua’s stance on medicine. He urges readers to scrutinize information against the backdrop of the ministry’s actual teachings, ensuring a more nuanced understanding.

In a reflective tone, Edward provides a warning for the end times, referencing Matthew 24:9-14. He encourages Christians to stand firm on the truth of God’s word, emphasizing the importance of discernment in the face of challenges and potential deception.

As the true continues to unfold about Prophet TB Joshua and The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Edward’s testimony serves as a poignant reminder of the impact the ministry had through compassion, miracles, and discipleship. He calls on individuals to seek truth and test information against the word of God.

An Encounter With Prophet TB Joshua in Dreams

Early this morning, Monday, December 20, 2021, I found myself in the company of Prophet TB Joshua and two others with us. TB Joshua was the driver I was sitting at the back in the car, a very modern car. I’m not sure I’d seen such a pleasure car before. We drove past a big car workshop and saw one of TB Joshua’s disciples. As he drove on we told him that the disciple we saw was backsliding. TB Joshua said we should turn back to talk and encourage the said disciple.

Prophet TB Joshua turned the car back and suddenly I saw a bigger image of the prophet. So I told him that he couldn’t be driving us whilst I was there because he was the master and I saw myself as just a servant. Remember I started drinking Arigidi waters more than ten years before he was born, but that’s not the image I saw. He was a master. He gave me the key to drive the car and he came to the back seat and watched. But as I put in the key the car was going off-road. It went completely off-road to the left then off-road to the right. The road was good and the car was great. Eventually, we manually bring back the car to the said workshop for repair while the prophet talked with the disciple. We also asked the prophet to phone his wife, Evelyn Joshua, to explain to her why we would be late. Then I woke up and it had only been a dream. 

The prayer offered by Jesus in John chapter 17 came flashing on me. Jesus prayed for us as follows. “Now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. The glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one, (verses 11 & 22). 

Therefore Christians all over the universe have no choice but to unite and be one. That’s the prayer of this Jesus of Christmas. We ought also to possess the blessing of receiving Jesus in the Synagogue Church of All Nations, (SCOAN), whether it is TB Joshua or Evelyn Joshua, or anyone else. As many as received Jesus, (and His word and prayer) to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe in His name, (John 1:11-12).

Behold Its Good Tidings of Great Joy from SCOAN

The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN)

Bethlehem, in Hebrew, is “Bet Leḥem” or “Town of Bread”. It is currently a town in the West Bank,  in the Judaean Hills about  5 miles (8 km) south of Jerusalem. According to the Gospels (Matthew 2; Luke 2), Bethlehem was the site of the Nativity of Jesus Christ. Joseph and a heavily pregnant Mary had to ride on a donkey,  from Nazareth to Bethlehem, a journey of about 160km. The journey is called a Nativity Trail. Prophet Micah (5:2) had prophesied concerning the birth of King Jesus in Bethlehem. In this modern-day, Bethlehem is still famous for being the place of Jesus Christ’s birth and has been celebrated in Christmas Carols and Hymns through the centuries. The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) is joining others around the globe to celebrate this 2021, the first one without our Founder Prophet TB Joshua.

It was like the days of Ezra (1:1) when the time for the return of Israel from captivity came to fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah. The LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation. Similarly when the time came that Jesus would be born, and as prophesied, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that everyone should be taxed in their own native city. It was a divine order that took Joseph up from Galilee together with Mary into Bethlehem, also called the city of David, because he was of the house and lineage of David. Therefore whatever is happening around the world, or whatever is happening to us at SCOAN, is a divine order from above. Things may seem less pleasant but everything is divine from above. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way, (Psalms 36:23). God’s Will shall always be done.

The time when Jesus was born were not days of modern live-television broadcasts and news media as we have today. However, God had made all the necessary arrangements for the Good News to be preserved for all generations. There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. The angel of the Lord came upon them. The glory of the Lord shone around them. They were sore afraid. The angel said to them, “Fear not, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord”. The angel left them with detailed descriptions of where they would find the baby Jesus. In addition, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and singing.

The shepherds went straight to Bethlehem to see and confirm what the Lord had made known unto them. They found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. They made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. All who heard their story wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. Who is this Jesus that ordinary shepherds had the privilege to see and witness for? Wise men came with all their riches, experience and age to worship baby Jesus and to present highly symbolic precious gifts. A devoted old man Simeon took the baby Jesus up in his arms, and blessed God, and saying, “My eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared before the face of all people. A light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel”. Who is this Jesus?

In this Christmas, it is desired that God should kindly open our spirit mind to see what the angel, the host of heaven, the shepherds, the Wise Men from the East, old Simeon, what they see about this Jesus and sang and worship. Obviously, they saw beyond a mere baby in Mary’s arms. They saw Jesus as the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, the one with the key of David, they saw an Infinite Being. Apostle Paul (Philippians 2:5-11) admonishes us to humble ourselves with the humble mindset in Christ Jesus. That Jesus is the form of God that has humbled Himself to take the form of ordinary man for our salvation. God also has highly exalted Him and has given Him a name that is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. That every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. This is the Jesus of Prophet TB Joshua of SCOAN. This Jesus gives us confidence not only to wish everyone a Merry Christmas but also the “Good Morning and Win Today”.

Created in God’s Image and Living in His Garment of Glory

If there is one thing that has set the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) uniquely apart, it will be the attribute of God’s Holiness. The Founder of the SCOAN, Prophet TB Joshua was able to carry this mantle of God’s holiness and He obtained results. As Jesus was physically leaving His disciples He assured them that, “Behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you. But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high, (Luke 24:49). We covet this clothing from above.

What is the best attribute describing our God? We read in Revelation 4:1-8 as Apostle John saw that a door was opened in heaven. He was in the spirit and saw that a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. All those around the throne rested not, but day and night were saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come”. Therefore Holiness is the attribute of God in whose image He created man, male and female, (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve were initially clothed in this garment of God’s Holiness and Righteousness. Physically they were both naked and were not ashamed, (Genesis 2:25). In the spirit, God’s Holiness clothed them.

Unfortunately, they were deceived by that old serpent, the devil, or Satan and they fell. Then their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They used human effort, sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons, (Genesis 3:7). That is, they lost their holy estate, their holy garment, and lost eternity to become mere flesh. Jesus had to lecture Nicodemus that, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit”, (John 3:6). Prophet TB Joshua knew that we couldn’t achieve the things of God by living in the flesh. 

Therefore as we pray along with our Mother in the Lord, Prophetess Evelyn Joshua, it is that she will be clothed with power from on high (Luke 24:49) to do God’s exploits. The rest of us need similarly be clothed with heavenly attires. Not because we want results but because that is the fear of the Lord. It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh, together with all its effort, profits nothing. Jesus said that “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life”, (John 3:63). 

We pray that the words that will come out of every SCOAN prophet, whether those that have trained and are on their own, or those still in training, or those coming for prayers and further training, shall be spirit clothing and bringing forth life. The reconciliation, oneness and unity of all SCOAN disciples, prophets, evangelists, wise men, church workers trained by Prophet TB Joshua, is paramount to the work of God. But better still is the living spirit of God in us, working and perfecting our lives for God’s purpose and glory. Then every moment we can say, “Good Morning and Win Today”.

EVELYN JOSHUA WOWS AT THE MAGNIFICENT REUNION SERVICES OF SCOAN

By Sola Ojewusi

Prophetess Evelyn Joshua

“Surely he would be missed but he would not be missed.”

Those were the words of an observer when Prophetess Evelyn Joshua, widow of the late world renowned televangelist Prophet TB Joshua officially began her new role as Head of the Synagogue Church of All Nations yesterday in Lagos. In fact that paradox best describes the mood at the Synagogue Church of All Nations when the organisation once again threw its gates open for services.

Since the passing of the founder of SCOAN, the world renowned televangelist Prophet TB Joshua in June, there had been a lot of speculations regarding the future of the church. Things even got more complicated with the recent events bordering on the loyalty of the Prophet’s disciples to the new dispensation now headed by the wife of the founder Prophetess Evelyn Joshua.

But in the weeks preceding the event of Sunday, the Prophetess appeared to have quickly settled into the new role and been able to bring the church back to the path laid down by her late husband and mentor. The hugely successful event of Sunday tagged Reunion and Thanksgiving Service was a testimony to the ability of Evelyn Joshua, the new Woman of God to steer the ship. And, as observed by someone at the church that day, “How beautifully she handled things! This is the Lord’s doing!” he concluded.

Prophetess Evelyn Joshua

It was truly a soul stirring day that started with thematic songs that spoke well to the solemn occasion, especially the solo performance of “For the God of the Mountains/Is the God of the valley/God of the good times/Is the God of the bad times…”

The choir, clad in white choir dress and bluish collars, then followed with a rendition of a soulful “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty…”. When a lady chorister in turn led in singing the South African piece, “Malibongwe igam lenkosi” (Let the name of God be praised), the huge crowd of worshippers went into a pious frenzy, singing and dancing along.

It was indeed a full house of congregants from around the world gaily dressed and draped in the flags of their various nation. The crowd in the overflow sections was even much larger than those inside the main building. It was indeed an atmosphere of celebration and the mood of elation was shared across the sections of the full house.

By the time the choir made the rendition of “Yes Lord My world says Yes” composed by the late founder TB Joshua, it was clear that rather than mourn, the church was ready to move on in a celebratory mood.

For those watching on TV and on the various social media platforms of the church, it was a spiritual feast to the eye they would not forget in a hurry. Reading through their comments, it became clear that truly, TB Joshua might have gone to rest, the work he so gloriously started will continue under the able leadership of the Woman in the Synagogue.

According to a Twitter user, “I’m sure TB Joshua would be happy in heaven that the work has continued.” And to an observer who was watching on TV came the emotional words, “TB Joshua, we will always love you. Aluta continua!”

According to Naledi Katz Kyllastinen, one of the SCOAN Facebook page enthusiasts, “The legacy of prophet TB Joshua goes on, from our generation to the next generation and the children of their children. Good grace, good God, He started it and His will our command! We are matching on to the Thrown of Mercy with one accord… SALVATION!” Then came the most anticipated moment.

Prior to this day, people had wondered if the great works of miracles would continue with the passing of TB Joshua. Sunday really answered the nagging questions. And the manifestations continued, putting paid to the questions about continuity of divine healing. As the Prophetess took the floor to preach after showing her gratitude to all who stood by the church, the afflicted began vomiting blood and other poisonous substances on the floor of the church in the glare of International television audiences indicative of divine healing.

From the beginning you could begin to see the manifestations of the vision, that this was an undying endowment despite the transition of its founder. And Prophetess Evelyn Joshua brought out amazing flashes of her anointing. The conclusion of most as the day wore on was that the grace still overflowed at the SCOAN.

Then came the testimony moments. Again, we began to see the return of the good old days when TB Joshua held sway as amazing testimonies came from the congregation. First was that of Tangeni Anasthasia from Cameroon who gave a moving testimony of how she was healed during the night vigil led by Evelyn Joshua.

Another woman, Mrs Ikeduwa Uzodinma who was barren for ten years and was now pregnant also came to share her astonishing miracle, a testimony corroborated by her husband. “God has used this ministry to change my life,” she enthused.

Mr Samuel Banigo who had leg cancer and was due for amputation before taking the anointing water from SCOAN and was totally healed was another testifier. His story sent tears of joy flowing among the congregation.

Then came the big moment. With the eyes of the world in her, Prophetess Evelyn Joshua came in calm cool and collected, oozing the confidence of a woman of mission. And how well she carried the mantle, giving assurance to observers that all was well at the SCOAN, that the Prophet might have passed, the Prophetess has risen. “He is with us here today in spirit,” she told the church of her husband.

While dedicating the church to the Lord, she prayed for the congregation, assuring that the church “will forever be grateful for what God Almighty has used his servant to do in this house.”

Quoting Roman 8:35 beginning with “Who shall separate us from the love of

CHRIST?” she expressed her gratitude to the church, the Emmanuel TV partners and all well-wishers. She centred her sermon on the title: “The Decision of a Champion.” One of the highlights of her exhortation was the statement: “You must do something you hate in order to create something you love.” She also urged the church to “Reposition yourself for goodness…”, reminding all that “Jesus is the roadmap to the lost…”

And as she rounded off, signs that she was going to take the path of reconciliation were shown when she acknowledged the presence of the mentees of Prophet TB Joshua, the wise men who worked with the late prophet and appeared to be ready to cooperate with the church.

The Five Wisemen

For their support and loyalty, the woman of God thanked the five Wisemen, Harry, Daniel, John Chi, Christopher and Racine.

Among the artistes that graced the event with soul stirring performances were Mike Abdul whose ministration brought the house to a celebratory frenzy. The atmosphere of praise, camaraderie and glory would not be forgotten in a hurry. The refrain of “O ja Sope” also reflected the mood of triumph over the adversity of recent times. It was indeed a day of profound Alleluia at the Synagogue!

It was indeed an unforgettable day at the SCOAN. The church looks safe under the new leadership. As observed by many, the future looks bright and Evelyn Joshua appears ready for universal impact.

The World’s Expectation of SCOAN on TB Joshua’s Legacy

By now every part of our society, home and abroad, should have come to terms that the Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) is no longer with us physically. Our grieve in that realm continues both to individuals, family members of TB Joshua, his faithful disciples and followers, the nation Nigeria, and many who have been relying on the prophet for God’s opinion on their matters. The first expectation is that both the immediate family members of TB Joshua and his close disciples need to see themselves as servants of God first and foremost and serve humanity from that awareness. We need to work with one accord and close ranks in brotherly and sisterly love. The physical loss of the prophet is enormous and what the family members and disciples are passing through now is the painful part of the loss.

Prophet TB Joshua had an excellent reputation for leadership, modesty, humility, organization, love for humanity and the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Those attributes attracted us to him, his deep knowledge of things and his ability to help and solve spiritual and physical problems. As a man of God, he eschewed the trappings of that high calling and office. He made his abode in a simple part of the SCOAN premises living with his family, disciples and occasional guests. He developed from the Bible, from praying in lonesome forests, from the now beautified SCOAN praying mountain where he ministered his last service. He would dress casually always. He is the first prophet and a Nigerian to have had the largest worldwide followers of worshipers and admirers of all time. Though highly criticized whilst he lived his approval rating soared with his disappearance. The world is not expecting anything less either from the new set of SCOAN leaders, his disciples or from those of us that claim to have been closely related to him.

Prophet TB Joshua had been committed to the teaching and proper living out the Bible. Many pundits disagreed with him on his views. This is probably because they couldn’t believe the results the prophet was getting simply and seemingly effortlessly. When TB Joshua was on a stage, heaven’s doors seemed open for deliverance, healing, and all possibilities. It must be another period of the early Church and many lived in that confusion about his ministry. The power of Jesus remains the same whether in the old, prevailing or future culture. Hence SCOAN cannot afford to fight within self over personal or family differences whilst the work of God suffers or delays even a minute more. The Holy Spirit is here to reconcile all of us, to console our spirits and command us to fellowship together in one accord; as we follow Jesus Christ the Commander and the Lord of hosts.

We have continued to find very amusing a few commentators still criticizing the prophet or SCOAN, and trying to fuel within perceived differences of opinions. Social medial is now a powerful Third Force in society. The Church is the First Force and government the Second Force, many others are coming on. If the media does not understand the role of the Church in society then it is a contrary force. The media has no right or qualifications in setting orders for the Church, not even for the society that grows it. The Church of God, which TB Joshua’s SCOAN is part of, is not called by God to reflect the views of society and those of its celebrities.  On the other hand, the Church is called to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to demonstrate the power of God as necessary, and to instruct society of the need to repent. We find the role of TB Joshua in agreement and alliance with the teaching and practice of the Lord Jesus, and the voice of God’s Truth to the World. He made it very clear that the Church is not about detecting and hence following the prevailing popular opinion. His call was to shape the views of society and to challenge our culture when our culture is not following the path consistent with the will of God, His faithfulness and holiness. The World of God remains the Standard for our Living.

Jesus Christ is the Righteousness and the Integrity of God.  He is also the Author and Finisher of our faith and has not established the Church so that the Church may compromise with evil, injustice, and oppression. Therefore as we pass through these perilous times, the voice of the Church must point out the shortcomings of this decaying society. And the Church needs more hands for this labour. May God help the Church to never sacrifice the Truth of the Gospel on the altar of public opinion, political correctness and social approval but only to depend on what God has to say on every matter. Amen!

Who’s Your Spiritual Leader? Prophet TB Joshua is Mine

Prophet TB Joshua

When I think of a spiritual leader that has positively impacted my life, Prophet TB Joshua readily comes to my mind without a rival.  This is a friend who helps my faith grow stronger, helps me to see Jesus more closely and to experience the Holy Spirit at work.

TB Joshua would call me on many occasions to give me assignments to do for the Church or him. Those who assisted us in the NYSC regarding the posting of NYSC requests from the Church will remember. The SCOAN office in Lokoja he assigned me to oversee and introduced me to members of the Lokoja SCOAN family will also remember. This is a prophet who will give you an assignment and will pay for everything himself. TB Joshua is not just an honest and down to earth friend he is too generous to a fault. I see Christ resemblance completely in him and the first Christian to have made such an impact in me.

Our advice is that everyone will find a leader to look up to and grow their faith accordingly. Jesus said to each of His disciples, “Follow Me”. Once they follow their burdens and desires become that of Jesus. They don’t have to pray, “Bless me, Heal me, Make a way for me, etc.” Instead they receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and His Fire for boldness and they see the Light.

May you encounter Jesus today and get out of mere religious-cultural routines. Follow Jesus and you won’t go astray anymore.

THE SPIRIT-FILLED SPEECH BY MRS. EVENLY JOSHUA

“I am not your General Overseer; my dear husband and our dear father, the prophet for generations, Senior Prophet T.B. Joshua, remains the founder and General Overseer of The SCOAN.”

“I represent the symbol of that love.”

“We will work together, pray together, fight the fight of faith together, win together so that we can all inherit the everlasting home together.”

The Chairperson and leader of the Synagogue Church of all Nations, Lagos, Mrs. Evelyn Joshua, has declared that her husband, Prophet TB Joshua, remains the General Overseer and Founder of the SCOAN.

This she said in her spirit filled speech as she made a clarion call to all partners and members of the SCOAN worldwide to work hand-in-hand with her new leadership to move the ministry forward.

Below is her address as posted on the ministry official Facebook page:

A SPECIAL ADDRESS FROM EVELYN JOSHUA

Mrs. Evelyn Joshua

I am pleased to address you at this moment upon my appointment as the leader of The SCOAN. To all our members, Partners, friends and compatriots in faith, I say, Good Morning and Win Today. It has been three months since the glorious home call of our dear father, founder and General Overseer, Senior Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, which occurred on 5th June, 2021.

These past three months have surely been challenging, but we thank you all for remaining strong and for keeping the faith as we had been trained, built, instructed and taught by God’s servant himself that trials are the soil upon which faith flourishes. We salute your faith.

Today, like always, is a new dawn in The SCOAN. As we all know, Prophet T.B. Joshua fought the good fight of the Kingdom and finished strong, to the glory of God. We have now commenced the journey from where our father left the baton. He had already prepared us all for this new phase, and we must rise up to the occasion as a team under the command of God and the direction of the Holy Spirit. This journey is for us all.

The SCOAN cannot be without you – all the members, Partners and friends of the Ministry. So, this now serves as a clarion call for you all to rise as an army of God as we push this Great Commission forward.

I am not your General Overseer; my dear husband and our dear father, the prophet for generations, Senior Prophet T.B. Joshua, remains the founder and General Overseer of The SCOAN.

Like my beloved husband used to say, “Let love lead.” Today, I represent the symbol of that love, even as he continues to reside by the right hand of his Maker. I am only a servant who, under the leadership and direction of the Holy Spirit, will team up with you all to direct the affairs of this great Ministry.

We will work together, pray together, fight the fight of faith together, win together so that we can all inherit the everlasting home together.

I know that we have all missed the congregation of our brethren for the past one and a half years, but let me assure you that as God leads, we shall all soon converge again and worship God together as a family. So, watch out! There is no gainsaying the fact that I and the entire team – we need your prayers, support, encouragement and advice all at this time. The duty is much, the burden is heavy, but we will all cast them unto Jesus, who has already given a promise of His help.

I thank you all once again for the love and support you have shown to this Ministry and Senior Prophet T.B. Joshua for the past years. But if there is any time to show that love more, the time is now. Let me again assure you, as it has always been the watchword of this Ministry, that God is always with us.

Emmanuel! God bless you all.

Thank you.
