The SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Choir
The SCOAN Choir
The congregation at The SCOAN gathered once again in The Arena of Liberty, surrendering themselves to the leading of the Holy Spirit and seeking God’s renewal, forgiveness and cleansing. They were encouraged to maintain hearts free from offence and ready to receive His Word, with an expectation of beautiful testimonies.
As the service continued, congregants were reminded of the importance of forgiveness. They were encouraged to release every offence and forgive those who had hurt them, remembering Prophet T.B. Joshua’s words: “As you stand praying, forgive.” Their hearts then expressed repentance through the song, “Forgive me Oh Lord, It’s Me Again/I’ve Disobeyed Your Word/I’ve Stepped Out Of Your Will/Regretful I Stand, It’s Me Again.”
The SCOAN Choir led the congregation into a solemn worship session, declaring, “We Bless You Lord, You Are Holy/Forever You Are God!” Worshippers laid aside their burdens and focused their hearts on Jesus, acknowledging His faithfulness and greatness. Their voices rose in gratitude: “Eze Ebube (Wonderful King)/See How Far You’ve Brought Me/I’m So Glad You Found Me Worthy!”
Anchored in Proverbs 3:5, the congregation expressed their trust in God’s wisdom and perfect timing. As the atmosphere of worship intensified and lives were touched by God’s presence, the congregation joyfully declared, “Let There Be Light!”
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Testimonies (September 13, 2026)
Healing That Brought Double Breakthrough
Here is her testimony:
Isioma came to The SCOAN on January 26, 2025, after an accident left her with a fractured bone. She had spent six months undergoing treatment, with doctors recommending surgery.
Despite the injury affecting her education, she persevered and managed to sit for her final-year examinations.
Isioma said she received her healing when Pastor Evelyn Joshua prayed for her at The SCOAN Prayer Line. Testifying to her healing, she declared, “I can walk to the glory of God! I no longer need surgery or any walking aid, and I can sleep well.”
Her father, Michael, testified that his daughter’s healing also brought a breakthrough into his own life. He explained that a building project delayed for two years suddenly progressed after he received the Anointing Water following his daughter’s prayer.
He later had a remarkable dream involving Pastor Evelyn Joshua, after which his career experienced a turnaround and the long-delayed project was completed. Michael encouraged others facing challenges, saying, “Look unto God; He has never failed.”
She advised the people:“Have faith and believe in the Word of God.”
From Agony To Walking Freely
Here is his testimony:
Eke, a Nigerian resident in Benin Republic, came to The SCOAN Prayer Line on September 6, 2026, due to severe pain that left him struggling to walk.
He explained that the pain had started in his legs and later spread to his waist, eventually making eating, standing and even going to the toilet difficult.
At the hospital, he was diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis and became dependent on his son for daily activities.
Eke said he received his healing when an evangelist prayed for him at The SCOAN Prayer Line. He testified, “Instantly, I received my healing and discovered that the pain had vanished.”
Recalling the severity of his condition, he added, “I used to cry from 2 a.m. because of the severe pain, but now I can walk to the glory of God!”
His son also expressed his joy over his father’s transformation, saying, “Now I feel happy and relieved.” He encouraged others: “There is no problem too big for God.”
He advised the people: “Whenever you face a difficulty, run to Jesus Christ and He will heal you.”
Instant Restoration Of A Damaged Hand
Here is his testimony:
Joseph came to The SCOAN on June 14, 2026, following an accident that had damaged his left hand.
Doctors discovered that two veins had been cut and stitched them, informing him that he would need six months to recover and would not be able to use the hand during that period.
In faith, Joseph’s mother brought him to The SCOAN, where an evangelist prayed for him. Joseph testified, “To the glory of God, after the prayer, I can move my left hand freely!” Giving glory to God for the restoration of his health.
Joseph’s father also gave thanks to God for the miraculous healing and restoration in his son’s life.
He advised the people: “Believe in God.”
Five Years Of Walking With Aid Ended!
Here is her testimony:
Susan came to The SCOAN Prayer Line on September 6, 2026, after suffering from osteoarthritis since 2021.
Despite visiting various hospitals in Nigeria and Ghana and trying different treatments, she found no solution and had relied on a walking aid for five years.
Susan said she received her healing when an evangelist prayed for her at The Arena of Liberty. Testifying to the change, she declared, “Instantly, I could walk without the walking aid I had been using for the past five years!” She gave glory to God for her healing.
Her sister also thanked God for restoring Susan’s health and encouraged others: “Believe in the God of Prophet T.B. Joshua.”
The testimony added to the growing evidence of God’s faithfulness, reminding the congregation that no situation is beyond His reach.
He advised the people: “Run to God.”
SCOAN Sunday Service: Your Identity
LISTEN TO THE SERMON TITLED: Your Identity
For the sermon, Evangelist James took his place on The SCOAN Altar, declaring, “If God is for you, who can be against you?” He gave thanks to God for the life and legacy of Prophet T.B. Joshua, the father of the household, and for the life of Pastor Evelyn Joshua. He announced Galatians 3:26-29, Galatians 4:4-7, Ephesians 1:3-14 and John 1:12-13 as his proof texts before introducing his sermon, “Your Identity”.
Evangelist James explained that satan’s greatest aim in tempting God’s people is to overthrow their position as children of God and cause them to question the truth of God’s Word. He noted that unfavourable circumstances are often used to make believers doubt their sonship.
Addressing the congregation, he asked, “Who are you? You are what you believe. Your identity depends on what you believe.” He stressed that a person’s thoughts, words and actions reveal what they truly believe.
Evangelist James reminded the congregation that God had not only forgiven them but had given them a brand-new identity in Christ. “People of God, it is very important that we come to realize that God has not just forgiven us, but He has also given us a brand-new identity. Your true identity is in Christ Jesus. There is no greater identity than that you have been made in the image and likeness of God, you are like unto God. You are now a son or daughter of the King of kings and the Lord of lords.”
You Are Made In God’s Image And Likeness
He further explained that forgetting this identity opens the door to fear and doubt, causing people to believe what their circumstances say instead of what God says. He therefore reminded them, “Brethren, you are what God says you are, you have what God says you have and you can do what God says you can do.”
Referring to 1 Peter 2:9, Luke 10:19 and Mark 9:23, Evangelist James highlighted what God’s Word says believers are, have and can do. He warned that Christians who forget their identity may allow their environment and circumstances to become their standard rather than God’s Word.
He encouraged the congregation to make God’s Word the standard for their lives, saying, “Let the Word of God become the database for your personal opinion. Whatever comes your way, go back to God and His Word because God and His Word can never fail. His promises are true. His Word is going to say the same thing – yesterday, today and forever.”
Concluding, Evangelist James urged believers to remember their identity in Christ in the face of every temptation, crisis and challenge: “In the face of temptation, crisis, challenges, remember you are a child of God. You are a new creation, a branch of the vine. You are an heir of God. Through Christ, you are one with Him. He is the greatest part of that union. Greater is He that is in you than all the combined forces of the adversary. You with God are a majority and you can never be conquered, defeated. You are a child of God.”
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Prayerline Session (September 13, 2026)
Pastor Evelyn Joshua
On joining the congregation in the auditorium, Pastor Evelyn Joshua ushered them into a moment of prayer and thanksgiving to God. She prayed, “Father, we thank You for this wonderful day. We thank You for Your faithfulness. Thank You, God, for counting us worthy. For the joy and love You have given us, Thank You. For all the good things You have done in our lives, Thank You.
Thank You for the bundle of experiences that have shaped our lives. Say, ‘Father, I thank You.’
Lord God, we thank You for the lives of all those You have sent to bless us. We give You thanks for not allowing us to go our own way. Thank You for the joy we are about to receive today. For the peace and healing that await us, Thank You. For the salvation of our souls, Thank You. In Jesus Christ’s name, we give thanks. Father, receive our thanks, in Jesus’ name!”
Drawing from Matthew 5:14–16, Pastor Evelyn Joshua reminded the congregation of their identity as children of God. “The Bible says you are the light of the world. That is your identity as a child of God. For what purpose did He make you the light of the world? So you can give light to those in darkness. The light of the righteous rejoices and shines brightly.”
She further encouraged them, saying, “As a child of God, let that light shine. In this world of bitterness and hatred, let your light shine because, with God, all things are possible. Let your word shine so that the world will see you.”
Pastor Evelyn Joshua At The Prayerline
Pastor Evelyn Joshua then proceeded to the Prayer Line, where she ministered to those seeking divine healing and deliverance under the direction of the Holy Spirit.
Expectant mothers and women trusting God for the fruit of the womb also received prayer, holding on to the promise, “There shall not be any barren in thy land.” — Exodus 23:26
Cases including difficulty in walking, glaucoma, kidney stone, hepatitis-B, bedwetting, leg ulcers and diabetes were brought before God in prayer. The SCOAN Evangelists also joined the ministration, offering prayers for healing and deliverance in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
The Prayer Line also witnessed one-on-one deliverance as demons and evil spirits were commanded to leave in the name of Jesus, bringing freedom to God’s people, in fulfilment of the Word: “the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” — 1 John 3:8.
SCOAN Sunday Service Mass Prayer (September 13, 2026)
Pastor Evelyn Joshua
At the start of the Mass Prayer Session, Pastor Evelyn Joshua assured viewers of the reach of God’s presence, declaring: “Distance is not a barrier to the move of God.” She then prayed: “Father, let Your Word heal, bless, and deliver Your people, in the name of Jesus.”
Pastor Evelyn Joshua urged the people to pray against every barrier standing between them and their answers, declaring: “Every wall of challenges between them and their answers – be removed in the name of Jesus. Receive the healing hand of God in the blood of Jesus. Every veil of dishonour, trouble, sickness, garment of fear – I command them out. Receive your freedom and deliverance in the name of Jesus. It is well with you. Breakthrough, success, healing and deliverance are on your way, in the name of Jesus.”
Turning to viewers around the world, Pastor Evelyn Joshua encouraged them not to be troubled, assuring them of God’s presence. She prayed: “Wherever you may be connecting with us in faith, don’t be troubled. God’s presence is there with you. Continue to pray in the name of Jesus. Place your hand wherever you are experiencing pain and begin to reject that pain and affliction in the name of Jesus. Be healed from that affliction and disease in the name of Jesus. Let there be victory by the blood of Jesus.”
SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Evangelists
Joining the Mass Prayer of SCOAN Sunday Service, Evangelist James prayed against familiar and ancestral spirits: “All familiar spirits operating in your life, family, anywhere you are – Holy Ghost fire! You ancestral spirit, family idol, tormenting my life, I command you – out!”
Evangelist Joseph also commanded spirits behind affliction and satanic messengers to leave: “You spirit behind my affliction, setback, messengers of satan, you are darkness, I call you by your name – Holy Ghost fire!”
The prayer continued with a direct command against satan: “Satan, I call you by your name. You have no right over my life, business, career, ministry, children, generation. I command you right now to get out of my life, in the name of Jesus! I command you to lose your grip over my life, home, finances, in the name of Jesus!”
Prophet TB Joshua
In a Mass Prayer video, Prophet T.B. Joshua commanded challenges, sickness, affliction and every work of darkness to leave the lives of the people. He declared: “I command every challenge, situation, begin to cease. Whatever that is associated with demon, be it sickness, affliction, limitation, hatred – out in the name of Jesus. Those things that give you nightmares, synonymous to demon, right now begin to command them out of your life in the mighty name of Jesus. Whatever you don’t want in your life should leave you right now in the name of Jesus. That nightmare – out! Let your story change. The story of your health, career, business, family – change in the name of Jesus.”
Prophet T.B. Joshua further prayed for the viewers’ healing and transformation, declaring: “Open your lips and begin to confirm this change. Viewers all over the world, let the power of God come upon you, upon your flesh, in the name of Jesus. Begin to put your demand on the anointing. Anywhere sickness, infirmity is located – I command that infirmity to leave you in the name of Jesus. Sickness in your bones, liver, kidneys, whatever name they call it – never a disease Jesus cannot cure! I command them out right now, in the name of Jesus, let the power of God come upon you! Rejoice! I can see Jesus changing your story!”
Concluding the prayer, Pastor Evelyn Joshua declared: “Father, let Your healing and blessings remain permanent in the lives of Your children, in the name of Jesus! Change their lives for prosperity and breakthrough, in the name of Jesus!”
The Grace
Indeed, God’s healing, blessings, freedom and breakthrough remain the portion of His people, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
