Key Event Highlights
The SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Choir
Congregants had an engaging worship session during The SCOAN Sunday Service, which they connected to Heaven.
They asked for sin’s power over them to be broken and glorified Yahweh, the Alpha And Omega, for His abiding mercy. As the worship reached a crescendo, the congregation proclaimed thus: “This Life That I Have/Is The Life Of God/Zoe.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Testimonies
Solomon Spent 10 Days In Hospital, 18 Oxygen Cylinders – And God Did It!
It all started on May 4, 2025 with an illness complaint. I asked Solomon to go to hospital, where the doctors examined him and treated him for malaria and typhoid. I thought everything was fine.
Days later, however, Solomon’s condition worsened. I got news that he had collapsed after a bout of stooling and vomiting.
The doctors did their best to revive Solomon. They fitted him with a catheter and later diagnosed him with cholera. They also had to give him oxygen.
After my ailing son had exhausted 18 cylinders of oxygen, the doctors suggested he be taken elsewhere, saying they couldn’t handle the matter.
At the new hospital it was found that Solomon had some fluid in his lungs, as well as trouble with his kidneys. It
was now likely that he would have to be operated upon.
We called the Emmanuel TV Prayer Line and the Lord took over. Hours later, the doctors told us there would be no more need for surgery.
God is faithful – hold on to Him
Pauline Set Free From Bondage Of Family Idol!
“Their father destroyed my shrine; all the children are stagnant,” said the demon in Pauline during the deliverance session of the service of August 3, 2025 at The SCOAN Sunday Service.
My father was supposed to have been made the chief priest of our family idol, but someone else beat him to the title. He got angry and destroyed the idol’s shrine.
From that time onwards, my siblings and I began to face many serious issues, including stagnancy in all areas of life. I used to have nightmares and constantly faced disappointment at the last minute.
After taking a friend’s advice, however, I came to The SCOAN for prayer – and the Lord set me free!
Whatever your challenge, never run away from God.
And The Lord Turned Back Their Captivity!
“I am the queen!” declared the foul spirit in Fortune during the special service of Monday, August 11, 2025.
Minutes later, the demon succumbed and Fortune walked away in victory.
Fortune Narrated her Ordeal
My mother had taken us to different witch doctors in the bid to expel the foul spirit in us. Some of the rituals involved mixing my blood with that of animals. Nothing changed, however. When I became marriageable, I made a habit of rejecting the numerous suitors that came my way. Apparently, the evil spirit in me was trying desperately to frustrate me.
Snakes started to appear to me randomly, even though they never harmed me. I was also troubled by various illnesses. In one of the snake-appearance episodes, I was unlucky to have a serious suitor around. He took off afterwards, adding to my list of disappointments. Even when yet another suitor showed up and I married him, the marriage collapsed in no time due to my constantly poor health. My ministry and business collapsed, and I became an object of mockery in my community.
Persuaded that God’s power in The SCOAN would change my situation, I had attended The SCOAN Living Water Service on Friday, August 8, 2025. There, the Spirit of the Lord had worked on my case.
Subsequently, I had attended the Monday service of August 11. Now my breathing problems and bodily pain are gone. No more eating in the dreams.
Fix your trust in the Lord – you shall never be put to shame.
Esther and Elizabeth Narrated their Experience
Fortune’s sister, Esther, confirmed the problem with relationships, reporting that her marriage had been on shaky ground for years. On receiving prayer in The SCOAN, the burden on Esther’s mind has vanished. “Trust in God,” she advised.
Another sister, Elizabeth, admitted also seeing snakes in dreams and real life. She also had issues with her marriage until she witnessed God’s power in The Synagogue. “Stepping into this place has brought a miracle into my life,” she said.
Nkechi Shared her Side of the Story
Yet another sister, Nkechi, told a bizarre story of how she had quit on the very day of her wedding.
For some strange reason, my in-laws had engaged in a free-for-all where dangerous weapons were freely used. I was unable to get married until 15 years later, and even then the marriage was troubled in many ways.
I was forced to quit that marriage as well.
In my career, I also faced many unusual issues. At one point, I got a sack letter while expecting a promotion letter!
In one dream I saw Prophet TB Joshua, so I decided we had to come to The SCOAN for the prayer of healing and deliverance. I can now breathe freely without needing nasal drops.
Be steadfast with God.

The SCOAN Sunday Service Sermon: The Thought of Eternity
During the SCOAN Sunday Service on August 17, 2025, Evangelist Joseph delivered a soul-searching message centered on the theme of Eternity. He challenged the congregation with a reflective question: “How frequently do you entertain the thought of Eternity?”
Emphasizing the importance of living with eternity in mind, he reminded believers that those who focus on what lies beyond are more mindful of their actions on earth.
Evangelist Joseph took his proof text from Colossians 3:1-3, although he had earlier read from John 10:27-28.
Then he said to the people, “Let us remind ourselves of the thought of Eternity.” Citing Colossians 3:1-3, he charged God’s people to live “with a conscious awareness of life beyond the present, specifically Heaven and hell, and in full anticipation of Jesus Christ’s promises.”
Those who have such consciousness, he said, would be able to forgive others and show love regardless of colour, class or creed. Thus, such people would never plot the downfall of others or seek to exercise their power unfairly over others.
Such people, he continued, would be able to declare confidently, “I fear your God too much to hurt you.” Indeed, a Heaven-conscious person would not be so concerned about gaining wealth that they would be willing to sacrifice other people’s peace of mind for it.
Accordingly, Evangelist Joseph pricked consciences when he asked: “Is your conscience OK that you are destroying people so you can gain what you want? Is your heart OK that you are smiling and people are in tears because of you?”
As he closed the message, he counselled congregants about avoiding deceptiveness and cunning and to show love just for God’s sake.
SCOAN Sunday Service Encouraging word
Shortly after the sermon, Pastor Evelyn Joshua joined congregants for the Prayer Line ministration. She thanked members for their contributions to the success of the Living Water Service of August 8. “Every one of you became a worker that day – and I saw it all,” she smiled.
The woman of God then made a supplication to Heaven:
“Father Lord, we are here again. We bless You, we honour You, we glorify Your Holy name. Father, we thank You that we can approach Your throne with confidence. May Your mercy never fail us. Jesus, give us a heart like Yours. Fill us with Your strength and power. Take us from where we are right now to the place You want us to be, in the name of Jesus Christ. Father Lord God Almighty, deliver us from all evil and set our hearts to follow You. Let today favour us as we worship and praise You, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.”
The SCOAN Sunday Service Prayer Line
The people had come with various cases, including difficulty in walking, enlarged prostate, loss of memory, and chronic piles.
None of these conditions was too hard for the God of all flesh, for each person felt the fire of healing and freedom as a blessed touch landed on their body. Indeed, before the Master Surgeon, Jesus Christ, the root causes of their issues were identified and eliminated.
Relief also flowed through the systems of the pregnant people who brought their issues to God’s house. Upon them did Pastor Evelyn Joshua decree divine protection and the anointing for safe delivery.
Power from on high continued to flow as The SCOAN Evangelists joined Pastor Evelyn Joshua to minister prayer on cases of brain tumour, mental disorder, epilepsy and seizure disorder, growth in the foot, cancer of the gall bladder, acid reflux, addiction to alcohol, cerebral infarction, and uncontrollable urination, among others.
Furthermore, God’s promises of healing, deliverance and blessing were the portions of other congregants in the auditorium, for they called the Lord’s name while praying in humility and penitence (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Also set free to thrive were those who received prayer during the One-On-One session at The SCOAN Sunday Service. Indeed, the name of Jesus Christ broke every chain of bondage in their lives!
SCOAN Sunday Service Mass Prayer (August 17, 2025)
The SCOAN Evangelists
“Get ready to possess your possessions,” Evangelist Chisom told the congregation at the start of the Mass Prayer session.
He prayed: “Every power of sin holding you down – be broken, in Jesus’ name! That spirit tormenting your life – spirit of your father’s house, spirit of your mother’s house, ancestral spirits, contrary spirits – out, by the fire of the Holy Ghost!”
Evangelist Joseph prayed: “All familiar spirits, evil spirits, familiar spirits sent against your life – out, by the fire of the Holy Ghost!”
At his turn, Evangelist Ope charged the people to pray: “Every hidden sickness in my body, blood – anywhere you are: Out, by Holy Ghost fire!”
Evangelist James told the church to declare: “You hindrance to my breakthrough, to my success, to my forward movement – I command you in the name of Jesus: Give way!”
Pastor Evelyn Joshua
Pastor Evelyn Joshua then took over, asking the people to pray: “Father, give me the grace to continue to cast my burden on You. I separate myself from pain, fear, disgrace, unworthy friends, in Jesus’ name!” She prayed: “May your silent prayers be answered, in the name of Jesus Christ! May God Almighty enlarge your faith to believe in the impossible, in the name of Jesus Christ!”
The woman of God went on: “The enemies of your soul will be frustrated and will surrender, in the name of Jesus! Every negative power blocking the promises of God in your life – receive rest from them today, in the name of Jesus Christ! Breakthrough – as you go out, as you come in – breakthrough in your finances, health, marriage, in the name of Jesus Christ!”
Prophet TB Joshua
In a Mass Prayer video, Prophet TB Joshua declared: “Be released, in the name of Jesus! Anything that has been holding your career, your family, your marriage, your business – release yourself, in the name of Jesus! Every means people must have used to cage you – be released, in the name of Jesus!
You evil spirit – I curse you, in the name of Jesus! Be released, in the name of Jesus! Whatever chain used to connect you to crisis, hardship, nightmares, infirmity – begin to break those chains! Your nightmare, your pain is gone, in the name of Jesus!”
SCOAN Sunday Service: Gifts For The Elders
During the SCOAN Sunday Service, Pastor Evelyn Joshua gave The SCOAN Elders spiritual items and some money in appreciation of their efforts in the church. As they opened their packages containing the Anointing Water and Sticker, they thanked the Lord for His steadfast love.
