Read the recap of The SCOAN Sunday Service held on August 2, 2026, featuring sermon ‘Wait On The Lord’, along with other events.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Choir
Good Morning And Win Today!
The first Sunday Service of August 2026 was a glorious continuation of the divine visitation witnessed during The SCOAN Living Water Service held on July 31, 2026. As worshippers from Nigeria and around the world gathered once again in the Arena of Liberty, hearts overflowed with gratitude to God for preserving His children and sustaining them in the Year of Overflowing Joy.
Ministering through inspired worship, Esther of The SCOAN Sunday School led the congregation with the uplifting hymn:
“There Shall Be Showers of Blessings,
Precious Reviving Again;
There Shall Be Seasons Refreshing,
Sent From The Saviour Above.”
The SCOAN Choir
The atmosphere was filled with expectation as believers prepared to receive fresh grace, healing, deliverance and restoration from the presence of the Lord. Throughout the service, worshippers were reminded that God’s timing is always perfect and that those who patiently wait upon Him will never be put to shame.
The service opened with an atmosphere of thanksgiving as congregants lifted their hearts to God in appreciation for His goodness and mercy. Worshippers were first encouraged to meditate on God’s faithfulness, declaring together, “Thank You, Jesus Christ, for being the Rock of our Salvation,” while praying for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit and the removal of everything that could hinder their walk with God.
The SCOAN Choristers then ushered the congregation deeper into God’s presence with heartfelt songs of adoration. As voices united in worship, the entire Arena of Liberty echoed with declarations of God’s majesty: “You Are The Lord, Let Your Name Be Glorified!”
Soon afterwards, another powerful confession filled the auditorium: “You Are Yahweh, Alpha And Omega!”
The worship atmosphere became increasingly charged with God’s presence as worshippers cried out, “Abba Father!” surrendering their hearts to the Holy Spirit and inviting Him to take complete control of every situation in their lives.
With joyful confidence, the congregation continued proclaiming God’s faithfulness:
“Have You Seen The Lord Fail? No!”
It was a beautiful expression of confidence in God’s unfailing love, setting the stage for another unforgettable encounter with His healing, deliverance and saving power.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Testimonies (August 2, 2026)
Difficulty in Walking Wiped Off by the Holy Spirit
Here is her testimony:
For Caroline, years of difficulty in walking due to lumbar spondylosis had turned everyday life into a painful struggle.
Despite seeking medical attention, her condition persisted, leaving her in desperate need of divine intervention.
Determined to seek God’s face, Caroline participated in The SCOAN Living Water Service on July 31, 2026.
As she ascended the Mountain of Prayer, the power of the Holy Spirit came upon her, bringing an instant end to the condition that had plagued her for so long.
Returning to The SCOAN to testify on Sunday, August 2, 2026, Caroline joyfully demonstrated her healing and gave all the glory to Jesus Christ.
She encouraged everyone facing difficult situations to put their trust in God, for nothing is impossible with Him.
She advised the people: “Put your trust in God, for nothing is impossible with Him.”
Victor’s Pain Vanishes Through God’s Power
Here is his testimony:
Victor from Ghana had endured persistent neck and waist pain after sustaining injuries in a motor accident.
Although he received medical treatment and was provided with a neck collar, the pain remained, making movement extremely difficult.
Trusting that God had the final answer, Victor attended the 2026 SCOAN Living Water Service and climbed the Mountain of Prayer. While lying in prayer, he suddenly felt a divine sensation moving throughout his body.
As he descended the mountain, he realised that every trace of pain had disappeared. During his testimony, Victor thanked God for restoring his health.
He advised the people: “Exercise faith in God regardless of how impossible your situation may appear.”
Multiple Health Challenges Give Way to Divine Healing
Here is her testimony:
Patience had battled numerous health problems, including inflammation of the colon, loss of appetite, insomnia and a ruptured large intestine.
After seeking treatment from three different hospitals without improvement, she faced the frightening prospect of surgery while surviving mainly on pap because she could no longer tolerate solid food.
Choosing to seek God’s intervention, Patience came to The SCOAN Prayer Line, where Pastor Evelyn Joshua ministered to her in the name of Jesus Christ.
Immediately, the healing power of God flowed through her body. The pain disappeared, her appetite returned and she began eating foods she had previously been unable to consume.
Her strength was fully restored, leaving both her and her husband overwhelmed with gratitude. Demonstrating her newfound fitness before the congregation, Patience glorified God’s faithfulness.
She advised the people: “Believe that Jesus Christ still heals today.”
Kidney Cyst Disappears After Prayer
Here is her testimony:
Nuella from Cameroon had been suffering from severe stomach pain that prevented her from carrying out her daily activities comfortably. Medical examinations eventually revealed the presence of a kidney cyst.
Although physically distant from The SCOAN, she continued praying along with Prophet T.B. Joshua through Emmanuel TV.
One night after prayer, she dreamt that something left her body. Encouraged by the experience, she returned for another medical examination.
To the amazement of the medical personnel, the kidney cyst had completely disappeared. The pain that had troubled her also vanished.
Sharing her testimony, she advised the people: “Distance is never a barrier to God’s power.”
God Grants Academic and Business Breakthroughs
Here is his testimony:
Saturday had completed his doctoral thesis but faced repeated delays in defending his PhD research.
Instead of becoming discouraged, he continued praying with Prophet T.B. Joshua on Emmanuel TV while ministering the Anointing Water and participating in The SCOAN Living Water Service.
In God’s appointed time, his defence was finally scheduled. Although initially listed as the fourth candidate, circumstances changed and he was moved to the second position.
During the defence, God’s favour became evident as the examiners unanimously awarded him excellent scores.
Beyond academic success, Saturday also testified that God had opened new doors in his business.
Giving thanks to God, he advised the people: “Pursue God’s grace rather than relying solely on human intelligence.”
Family Idol Expelled, Marriage Restored
Here is her testimony:
Augustina from Ghana grew up in an idol-worshipping family and suffered disturbing dreams involving dogs pursuing her.
These spiritual attacks later manifested as setbacks in both her marriage and career. Although married, she struggled with infertility and lacked affection towards her husband.
During the Living Water Service, she ascended the Mountain of Prayer where the Holy Spirit exposed and expelled the evil spirit associated with her family’s idol worship.
Testifying with her husband, the couple rejoiced over the restoration of peace, affection and hope in their marriage.
The couple advised the people: “Place complete confidence in God.”
Severe Knee Pain Bows to Jesus
Here is her testimony:
Gift had lived with severe knee pain that affected virtually every aspect of her daily routine. Cold weather only intensified her suffering.
While praying with Emmanuel TV, she learned about the 2026 SCOAN Living Water Service and travelled from Delta State to participate.
As she climbed the Mountain of Prayer, she sensed something shifting within her body. Reaching the summit, she rolled on the mountain in prayer, asking God to remove every trace of pain.
Her prayer was answered. By the time she descended the mountain, the pain had disappeared completely.
Returning to testify, Gift praised God for proving Himself faithful.
She advised the people: “Jesus Christ remains the Greatest Physician.”
SCOAN Sunday Service: Wait On The Lord
LISTEN TO THE SERMON TITLED: Wait On The Lord
Before her sermon, the woman of God offered a heartfelt prayer:
“Father Lord, we thank You for Your joy, peace and the hope that floods our hearts. Almighty God, we thank You for Your divine healing over our body, soul and spirit. We praise You, O Lord, for freedom over everything that gives us pain. Almighty God, we ask that the floodgates of Heaven be opened for us today, and that Your blessings, victory and healing will fall afresh on us again, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.”
Ministering God’s Word, Pastor Evelyn Joshua delivered a timely message titled “Wait On The Lord,” drawing her main text from Isaiah 30:18: “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore He will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him.”
Introducing the message, Pastor Evelyn Joshua reminded the congregation that no one can fully comprehend the wonderful plans God has prepared for His children. “What God will do for your life, you don’t know,” she declared. “God is the God of judgement; He is wise and just.”
She explained that God’s wisdom infinitely surpasses human understanding. While people often desire immediate answers to their prayers, God performs His works according to His own perfect timetable. “How God will do His work, you don’t know, because He will do it in His own time and way; no one will hurry Him.”
Remain Steadfast In Faith
Encouraging believers to maintain unwavering confidence in God regardless of present circumstances, Pastor Evelyn Joshua referred to the experience of Job, who searched for God amid overwhelming trials yet remained steadfast in his faith (Job 23:8–10). Reflecting on Job’s experience, she observed: “Trouble requires no invitation before it comes.”
Yet, she reminded worshippers that the presence of trials should never be interpreted as the absence of God. Rather, difficult seasons often become the very instruments through which God strengthens, refines and prepares His children for greater glory. The woman of God further emphasised the limitations of human reasoning when compared with God’s perfect wisdom. “Human knowledge cannot be compared to divine wisdom.” Illustrating this truth with the refining process of gold, she said: “For gold to be gold it has to go through fire, refined and cleansed of all impurities.”
Just as precious metal is purified through intense heat before revealing its true value, every believer must sometimes pass through seasons of testing that produce stronger faith, deeper character and greater dependence upon God.
Pastor Evelyn Joshua therefore encouraged Christians never to begin each day relying solely upon their own understanding, but to cultivate a life of prayer and complete dependence on the Holy Spirit. “Every day must be opened with prayer to God. You have to wait for God.”
As she brought the message to its climax, she reassured the congregation that patient faith never goes unnoticed by Heaven. “All those who wait on the Lord will be blessed. Wait on the Lord. Wait for His time. As you wait on the Lord, His favour and goodness will rest upon your life.”
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Prayerline Session (August 2, 2026)
Pastor Evelyn Joshua At The Prayerline
Following the sermon, Pastor Evelyn Joshua moved to the Prayer Line, where the atmosphere became charged with faith as people from different nations presented their cases before God. Encouraging worshippers and viewers all over the world to connect by faith, the woman of God reminded everyone that God’s power knows no distance.
At the Prayer Line were people suffering from various afflictions, including stroke, difficulty in walking, cancer, asthma, leg ulcer, diabetes, urine retention, swollen body and breast cancer. As Pastor Evelyn Joshua ministered in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the healing power of the Holy Spirit moved mightily, bringing freedom, restoration and rejuvenated hope to many lives.
Expectant mothers also received prayers of faith, committing both mother and child into the hands of the Creator for safe delivery and divine preservation.
The SCOAN Evangelist
As the ministration continued, the authority in the name of Jesus Christ prevailed over every work of darkness. Cases of mental disorder, drug addiction, hernia, enlarged prostate, bleeding, sinusitis and skin diseases were brought before the Lord. Truly, the promise of Isaiah 53:5 came alive: “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.”
The atmosphere of thanksgiving continued as Pastor Evelyn Joshua and the SCOAN Evangelists ministered God’s healing power in the Overflow Section of the church, fulfilling the promise of Scripture: “They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:18).
In Luke 10:19 the Bible says, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Witness this bit of Scripture come to life during the One-On-One Session as every stubborn demon succumbs.
Car Case
One particularly moving testimony unfolded during the ministration. After spending many years confined to her home because of an inability to walk, an old woman experienced a dramatic turnaround through the power of Jesus Christ. As the anointing broke the yoke of infirmity, she rose to her feet with overwhelming joy, walking freely once again.
The congregation erupted in praise as her long-standing affliction gave way to God’s healing power. Her excitement was unmistakable, serving as another powerful reminder that what is impossible with man remains possible with God.
SCOAN Sunday Service Mass Prayer (August 2, 2026)
The Mass Prayer session began with Evangelist Ope, who declared with confidence: “Jesus will deliver you today. He will set you free! He wants to do something new in your life.” He then encouraged the congregation to present their personal requests before God: “What is that thing you want God to do for you? Is it your marriage, career, business, family? Talk to Him as a son to the Father.”
SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Evangelists
Leading the people in prayer, Evangelist Ope declared: “Thou Son of David, by Your divine mercy, favour, every spirit holding me down, holding me captive, command them to leave now. That spirit from my father’s side, mother’s side, holding me down, command them out! You spirit, I call you by your name, out, in the name of Jesus.”
Evangelist James continued the prayer: “You unclean spirit tormenting my life, family, anywhere you are – Holy Ghost Fire! I command you out, in the name of Jesus. That unclean spirit, evil spirit, anywhere you are hiding, I command you out, in the name of Jesus!”
Next, Evangelist Joseph prayed: “All spirits of affliction, I command you out. Anywhere you are, I command you out. You spirit of sickness, diseases, messengers of satan, anywhere you are – Holy Ghost Fire! That spirit of affliction affecting my health, anywhere you are in my body, I command you out!”
Evangelist Chisom also led the congregation in prayer: “What is standing against your breakthrough, forward movement, command them out. You spirit from my father’s side, mother’s side blocking my breakthrough, command them out, in the name of Jesus!”
SCOAN Sunday Service: Pastor Evelyn Joshua
Pastor Evelyn Joshua then asked the congregation to begin thanking God for His goodness and faithfulness before praying: “Begin to thank God for all the good things He has done in your life. Continue to thank Him for setting you free from bondage. I pray for you today that the promise of God in your life, marriage, will never depart in the name of Jesus.”
Turning to viewers all over the world, the woman of God prayed: “Command every spirit of affliction out of your life, in the name of Jesus. Receive your healing, deliverance, freedom, breakthrough, in the name of Jesus and by the fire of the Holy Ghost. You will come back to testify, by the Blood of Jesus and by the fire of the Holy Ghost.”
Prophet TB Joshua
In a Mass Prayer video, Prophet T.B. Joshua declared: “Those in darkness, come out, come to the Light. Those in darkness, those who are sick, afflicted, those who are possessed, be free! I command you to leave that darkness. Be delivered, in the name of Jesus! Whatever way you find yourself in darkness, I command you, be free. Every challenge you have is darkness. Come out of darkness. To those in darkness, I command you, come out! Be free, in the name of Jesus. To those who are sick, oppressed, be healed, be delivered. With God, all things are possible. Never a disease Jesus cannot heal. You are free, in the name of Jesus!”
SCOAN Sunday Service: The Grace
Bringing the service to a glorious close, Pastor Evelyn Joshua encouraged everyone to rejoice and to cover their lives, families, careers and businesses with the Blood of Jesus as the congregation joyfully sang: “The Lord Has Done It Finally.”
Indeed, God’s goodness and mercy shall continue to follow His children and all who trust in Him have every reason to rejoice, for He alone remains the Author and Finisher of our faith.
