Read the recap of The SCOAN Sunday Service held on May 24, 2026, featuring sermon ‘ Never Stop Praying, along with other events.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Choir
The SCOAN Choir
Worshippers experienced another glorious communion with Heaven during the SCOAN Sunday Service of May 24, 2026. That blessed morning, the congregation turned their hearts to the familiar refrain in Psalm 135 as they gave thanks to the Lord “for His mercy endureth forever.”
For the air they breathed, the grace under which they lived, and the door of salvation that was open to them, they said, “Thank You, Lord.” In reverent reflection, the people acknowledged God as the Giver of life and sustainer of all things.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,” the congregation gathered again in the Arena of Liberty to worship the Lord in unity and faith. A call went forth for the people to remain in an attitude of prayerful meditation, making their requests known to the One who knows their beginning and their end. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, it was declared that the anointing would not pass them by. Amen.
The atmosphere was saturated with humility as the people prayed, “Lord Almighty, we have come before You with penitent hearts. Forgive our sins and accept our worship today, in Jesus’ name.” From every corner of the auditorium, worship rose as the people sang, “Thank You, Lord, we thank You for every moment of Your attention.”
Deep in worship, distractions faded as voices declared, “Leave me at the altar with my Father!” and “To You, O Lord, we surrender all, withholding nothing – absolutely nothing!” The congregation was carried into deeper devotion, crying, “Where would I be, Lord, if You left me?”
Praise Session
The SCOAN Choir ushered the congregation into a higher dimension of worship as Psalm 135 gave way to a melodious living praise. The people sang, “Thank You, Lord, we thank You,” and the atmosphere became spiritually charged.
As worship deepened, the choir led the congregation into intimate surrender through songs of devotion and reflection. Hearts were lifted, burdens were released, and many had personal encounters with the Holy Spirit. The atmosphere became one of total dependence on Heaven, where every voice declared the goodness of the Lord.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Testimonies (May 24, 2026)
SWOLLEN LEG SUCCUMBED TO THE ANOINTING
Here is his testimony:
Newman’s ordeal began after he sustained a serious injury to his leg following a fall at his workplace. What initially appeared to be a manageable injury gradually deteriorated despite several medications and treatments.
Instead of healing, the affected leg became badly swollen, causing him severe discomfort and concern. Daily movement became increasingly difficult as the condition persisted.
In search of divine intervention, Newman visited The SCOAN on September 7, 2025, where he received prayer and the anointed touch of Pastor Evelyn Joshua, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Immediately after the prayer, a strange development occurred as the swollen leg began to discharge poisonous and foul-smelling pus, signalling the beginning of his healing process.
Determined to stand in faith, Newman also continued ministering the Anointing Water on the affected area prayerfully.
To the glory of God, by the time he testified before the congregation on Sunday, May 24, 2026, the wound had completely dried up and the swelling had disappeared.
Standing before the church healthy and free from pain, Newman returned all glory to God for his healing and restoration.
He advised the people: “Seek God first.”
PEACE REGAINED HER HEALTH THROUGH CHRIST
Here is her testimony:
Peace’s affliction began mysteriously through disturbing dreams that left her deeply unsettled. In one dream, she lost one of her slippers, and in another, she discovered that someone had cut her hair.
Shortly afterwards, those troubling dreams began to manifest physically as she noticed unusual hair loss and persistent weakness in her body.
The situation became even more alarming when her husband revealed that he had dreamt of seeing her lying in a coffin. Fear and anxiety gripped the family as Peace’s condition worsened.
She began suffering severe body pains and rapid weight loss. She sought medical help and received a diagnosis of typhoid and malaria, but medication and treatment did not improve her health.
Her Day Of Freedom!
In the midst of despair, an associate advised her to seek God’s intervention at The SCOAN. Arriving at the Arena of Liberty in faith, Peace received prayer and deliverance through the laying of hands by an evangelist.
By the power in the name of Jesus Christ, every force behind the affliction lost its hold over her life.
Testifying on Sunday, May 24, 2026, Peace stood before the congregation healthy, strong, and completely restored.
Her husband also glorified God for intervening in their family at a critical moment, declaring that God showed up when they sought His face.
For advice, they told the people: “Run to God whenever you encounter abnormal situations in life.”
DELIVERANCE RESTORED STABILITY IN LYDIA’S MARRIAGE
Here is her testimony:
Lydia grew up in an idol-worshipping background, and from an early stage of life, she began experiencing strange spiritual attacks that disrupted her peace and progress.
During her school years, she constantly suffered terrifying dreams in which a strange man would appear to her spiritually. Alongside the nightmares came severe and persistent headaches that almost cut short her education.
Even after marriage, the afflictions continued. A spirit-husband tormented her home, creating serious tensions between her and her husband.
She became unusually aggressive and hostile towards him, often acting in ways she herself could not explain. For four years, she was unable to conceive, adding emotional strain to the troubled marriage.
As the attacks intensified, her husband became increasingly worried about her behaviour and feared she might abandon the marriage completely.
Lydia’s business also suffered severe setbacks, and she spent much of her savings seeking medical and traditional solutions without success.
Realising that the root of her problems was spiritual and connected to her foundation, Lydia accepted the advice of a relative who encouraged her to seek divine intervention at The SCOAN.
Her Day Of Liberty!
On Sunday, May 17, 2026, she visited the Arena of Liberty and received deliverance after an evangelist ministered fervent prayers in the name of Jesus Christ.
The power of God instantly brought transformation into her life and marriage. By the time she testified before the congregation on Sunday, May 24, 2026, Lydia joyfully declared that peace had returned to her home. “My affection for my husband has been restored,” she said emotionally.
Standing beside her, Lydia’s husband thanked God for delivering his wife and restoring stability to their marriage. He recounted how he had continued praying and trusting God despite the challenges they faced.
In a touching moment before the congregation, Lydia openly apologised to her husband for all her past actions while under the influence of the evil spirit.
For advice, they told the people: “Believe because with God, all things are possible. Do not give up.”
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Email Testimonies
Testimonies also poured in through The SCOAN Prayer Line from different parts of the world, once again confirming that distance is not a barrier to the move of God.
Park from Malawi, resident in the United States of America, testified to his healing from persistent painful urination after calling The SCOAN Prayer Line and receiving prayer. To the glory of God, the painful condition disappeared completely.
Faith from Canada testified that she had suffered excruciating back pain that severely affected her daily activities. After contacting The SCOAN Prayer Line and receiving prayer from an evangelist, the pain vanished instantly.
Harrison from Ghana testified to his deliverance from joint pain, dizziness, and strange sensations in his buttocks after suffering a spiritual attack through a dream. Immediately after receiving prayer through The SCOAN Prayer Line, all the evil symptoms disappeared.
Goitsemang from Botswana also testified to her healing from severe pain beneath her breast after she received anointed prayers from an evangelist through The SCOAN Prayer Line.
Distance Is Never a Barrier!
Veronic, a Cameroonian resident in Gabon, received healing from swollen legs after seeking divine intervention through the Prayer Line. Following prayer, the swelling disappeared and her legs returned to normal.
Evans from Zambia testified to his healing from strange heart palpitations and chest pain after calling The SCOAN Prayer Line. To the glory of God, all the symptoms disappeared.
Deborah from Nigeria also testified to her healing from persistent bleeding after receiving prayer from an evangelist through The SCOAN Prayer Line. Immediately after the prayer, the bleeding stopped completely.
Chizoba from Nigeria testified concerning his sister, who had been in labour for two days without delivery. After receiving prayer through The SCOAN Prayer Line, God intervened miraculously and she delivered safely to the glory of God.
SCOAN Sunday Service: Never Stop Praying
LISTEN TO THE SERMON TITLED: Never Stop Praying
Evangelist James mounted the altar and declared, “You shall go back home with testimonies, in Jesus’ name!”
He read from 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and Luke 18:1, and announced the title of his message as “Never Stop Praying.”
He taught that many believers had become discouraged when answers to prayer seemed delayed, but reminded the congregation that prayer was not about forcing God’s hand. “When we pray, the answer we get depends on how God chooses to implement His will in that matter,” he said.
He explained that it was possible to live in a continuous spirit of prayer: “It is possible to pray without ceasing… built upon acknowledging our dependence on God.”
He added that prayer is not limited to spoken words, noting that people cannot spend all their days speaking prayers, but they can live continually in the spirit of prayer. Furthermore, he stressed that prayer is a relationship: “Prayer is a two-way conversation.” I talk to God and God talks to me. That is prayer.”
He emphasised that: “Faith operates with prayer… Faith activates prayer.” He warned against discouragement: “When answers seem to delay, many feel betrayed by God. Prayer is not a tool to get what we want from God but a way to get God’s will accomplished in us.”
In conclusion, he declared: “To make our prayer acceptable, it must be to the glory of God, in full surrender to His will, in full assurance of faith, with perseverance that refuses to be denied, and in the name of Jesus.” He ended by saying: “God listens to us when we pray and He replies in relation to the state of our heart.”
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Prayerline Session (May 24, 2026)
SCOAN Sunday Service: Pastor Evelyn Joshua
Pastor Evelyn Joshua ministered in the midst of the people, praying: “Father Lord, we thank You for this glorious day… let Your healing, deliverance power – Your blessings – fall afresh on us, in the name of Jesus Christ!”
When she joined the service, Pastor Evelyn Joshua prayed:
“Father, Lord, we thank You, for this glorious day! Thank You for this hour, who You are, Your mercies that never fail. We thank You for Your love that gives us hope, joy and courage – Your love that never lets us down and never leaves us. Almighty God, we give You all the praise, in the name of Jesus Christ! Father, we know in You, we are fulfilled.
In You, there is hope for us. Almighty God, we commit all that has to do with us into Your hands. We commit our lives, cares into Your hands. In the name of Jesus Christ, open the Windows of Heaven for our sake today, and let Your healing, deliverance, power, and blessings fall afresh on us! Let every glory, praise and adoration be to Your name forever in the name of Jesus Christ!”
She encouraged the congregation: “Get the focus off yourself and get to know God better.” She also said: “Whatever the situation may be with you, always know how to praise God – to appreciate Him.” People suffering from difficulty in walking, bone cancer, lung infection, gall bladder stones, diabetes, and other afflictions came forward for prayer.
Pastor Evelyn Joshua At The Prayerline
Pastor Evelyn Joshua also prays for expectant mothers, covering them with the precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Thank You, Lord!
The SCOAN Evangelists
The SCOAN Evangelists ministered healing over cases of asthma, hip pain, drug addiction, skin disease, ulcers, epilepsy, goitre, heart enlargement, mental disorder, and others.
As prayers intensified, evil spirits manifested while believers cast them out in the name of Jesus Christ. Through laying of hands and one-on-one sessions, the Holy Spirit exposed root causes and released people from generational curses, afflictions, bondage and infirmities.
The healing and deliverance that took place further demonstrated the fact that the God of Prophet T.B. Joshua and Pastor Evelyn Joshua is the same yesterday, today and forever.
SCOAN Sunday Service Mass Prayer (May 24, 2026)
The Mass Prayer session led the congregation into a deeper atmosphere of spiritual authority, faith, and deliverance as worshippers lifted their hearts to God in unity.
Pastor Evelyn Joshua led the congregation, singing: “You Are God From Beginning To The End,” as the atmosphere of worship prepared the people for prayer. Reading from Isaiah 49:15–16, she reminded the congregation of God’s unfailing love, saying:
“God is assuring you that no matter what your situation looks like, you will come out of it better.” She then declared, “Faith is a heavenly currency you will use to purchase your blessing. Today is the day of your victory, freedom, deliverance, in the name of Jesus.”
With authority in faith, she prayed: “Every darkness in your life, job, family, business, command them out, in the name of Jesus. Frustrate the handwork of satan in all that has to do with you, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, break every power of sin over your life, career, business, health, and job. Be free, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, come out of that cage now. Begin to walk in your freedom, glory!”
The authority of prayer continued to rise as Pastor Evelyn Joshua spoke prophetically over the congregation: “May the grace, peace, glory of God speak for you, in the name of Jesus. I pray for you today. You will laugh over your situation, in the name of Jesus. You will testify to God’s mercy, in the name of Jesus!”
SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Evangelists
The atmosphere intensified as the evangelists joined in fierce spiritual declarations. Evangelist Ope prayed: “Every spirit fighting against me from my father’s house, from my mother’s house, out, in the name of Jesus. Command the fire of the Holy Ghost to consume them now. Call them by their names. You spirit fighting against my destiny, career, there is no hiding place for you. Anywhere you are, Holy Ghost Fire! Out, in the name of Jesus!”
Evangelist James declared: “You unclean spirit operating in my life, in my family, I command you out, in the name of Jesus! Any unclean, familiar, or ancestral spirit operating in my life, come out now in the name of Jesus. Command them out, in the name of Jesus!”
Evangelist Joseph prayed: “All spirits of affliction, command them out in the name of Jesus. You spirit of affliction, anywhere you are, Holy Ghost Fire! You spirit of affliction, sickness, anywhere you are, I command you, out. No hiding place for spirit of killing, stealing and destruction. You sickness, poison, affliction, in my body out, in the name of Jesus!”
Evangelist Chisom added: “That spirit blocking my breakthrough, business, career, whatever name they call you, I command you out, in the name of Jesus!”
Prophet TB Joshua
In a Mass Prayer video, the voice of Prophet T.B. Joshua further reinforced the atmosphere of deliverance as he prayed: “Begin to release yourself from every familiar spirit, every spirit that is not of God. Begin to lose your grip from every demon that kills, steals and destroys.
You, familiar spirit, I command you right now, begin to lose your grip, in Jesus’ name. Say demon, I curse you, I command you out, in the name of Jesus, in the Blood of Jesus. You infirmity, the cause of killing, I command you in the name of Jesus – out. Every satanic spirit in your life, I command it out, in the mighty name of Jesus! No sickness Jesus cannot heal.
The SCOAN Charity For The Older People (24 May, 2026)
Pastor Evelyn Joshua extended gifts to the older people as an expression of Christ’s love: a cash gift of five million naira, two bags of rice for each one of them and a pack of food supplements for their wellbeing.
Delighted and elated, they danced in gratitude to songs of thanksgiving from The SCOAN Choir and offered prayers for the woman of God and the ministry, calling on Heaven to continue to lead its church aright in the ways of the Lord.
SCOAN Sunday Service: The Grace
As the service drew to a close, thanksgiving filled the atmosphere. Pastor Evelyn Joshua blessed the congregation and the people departed strengthened in faith, carrying the assurance that those who do not stop praying would never stop winning.
Emmanuel!
