Read the recap of The SCOAN Sunday Service held on November 1, 2026, featuring sermon ‘The Cross Kind Of Life’, along with other events.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Choir
The SCOAN Choir
It was the first day and the first Sunday of November 2026. As usual, the atmosphere inside The Arena Of Liberty was charged with divine presence. Eager to show their gratitude for the start of yet another month, and for the gradual winding down of their Forward-Looking Year, worshippers from all over the world lifted up their voices as they sang in multiple tongues.
While opening with prayer, they had asked for the forgiveness of their sins and for the Lord to take away bitterness and grudges from their hearts.
Fully confident in the name of Jesus Christ, the people sang, “Jesus The Son of God/We Believe In You!” And because they acknowledged that sometimes the storms of life can cause perturbations of spirit, they also sang, “O Lord, I Believe/Help My Unbelief!”
Furthermore, they reassured themselves by asking: “Have You Seen The Lord Fail?” Expectedly the emphatic answer was a resounding “No! No! No!” Carrying on in an intense call for a showering of the anointing the people sang: “Rain Down/Rain it On me!”
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Testimonies (November 1, 2026)
A Breadwinner Makes It Back To His Feet!
Here is his testimony:
For many months, Jude had been writhing in pain. “I had tried to bend down in the bathroom one morning when I became immobilised,” he said at the start of his testimony on November 1, 2026. On that occasion he had been unable to help himself until his family came to the rescue.
“They took me to the hospital and doctors diagnosed me with hip osteoarthritis,” he continued. Despite getting numerous medications, however, Jude felt only temporary relief.
“My finances stagnated as I became grounded at home,” he explained. However, Jude’s story changed on October 25, 2026 after he received prayer in The Synagogue. Since then he has returned to his feet.
He advised the people: “Believe in God.”
Business Restored For The Glory Of The Lord!
Here is his testimony:
On 25 October 2026, the demon in Uchenna made several confessions, among which was the claim that it had caused many setbacks for the young man and other members of his family. As the fire of the Holy Ghost surged through Uchenna’s body it caused him to vomit the impurities in his system.
The following week, Uchenna returned for his testimony.
“Since childhood,” he began on November 1, 2026, I had known my family to be idol worshippers.
My father had played truant repeatedly, forcing my family to send him into apprenticeship. My father later abandoned the trade he was learning and went into palm wine tapping.
It later emerged that my father was reportedly destined to become a herbalist.
Meanwhile, as I grew older, I got apprenticed to a trader. Shortly before I was to be settled by my boss, a lie was told against me and I was sent away with only the sum of five thousand naira.
Although I had managed to make it in business afterwards, I had fallen into hard times soon after.
Then I travelled out of the country. But I returned only after three weeks and had to start all over again. Tired of my struggles, I began seeking a solution.
I discovered Emmanuel TV and made my way here. The anointing in The Synagogue had changed things in my family over the years.
However, I had lately been having issues with my business partners. Since receiving my deliverance, I have seen more of God’s hands on my business, causing me to declare, “Indeed, God is good!”
He advised the people: “Trust in the Lord’s power.”
Delivered, Healed And Restored!
Here is her testimony:
Growing up, Eunice from Cameroon had a hard time indeed. “My mother had children by multiple men and I had to live with relatives,” she said at the start of her testimony on November 1, 2026. She had come from a family of idol worshippers.
“But things weren’t going well with anyone in the family,” she said. Desperate to be rid of her, Eunice’s family gave her out in marriage at the age of 17. “I ended up having four kids by a bus driver who was drunk most of the time,” she said regretfully.
According to Eunice, she and the kids suffered so much as the man failed to care for them.
“I toiled a lot while trying to raise my children,” she said with tears in her eyes and a shaking voice. Along the line, Eunice got linked up with a woman who trafficked her into Nigeria.
“I had borrowed close to a million francs to get on a journey purportedly to Mauritius but I had ended up in Nigeria,” she said. All the while, Eunice had found Emmanuel TV and had realised the extent of God’s power.
She had been told to trick someone else to Nigeria so she could get her freedom from the trafficker. “I told the woman I wouldn’t do so and that I would visit The SCOAN for prayer,” she said. And that was how Eunice had made it to the church for her deliverance.
“I went home with the Anointing Water and ministered it on myself,” she said, further explaining that she expelled blood and other unclean substances from her system after praying with the water.
“Now I am healed of all ailments in my body,” she testified.
She advised the people: “Embrace God’s power.”
Fidelis Finds Peace That Passes Understanding!
Here is his testimony:
“I want to thank God for delivering me from the spirit that had been troubling me all these years,” Fidelis said at the start of his testimony on November 1, 2026.
According to Fidelis, he had run out of school after he confronted a senior student who had maltreated him and other students. “My parents took me back to the school, much to my disappointment,” he said.
Fidelis had vowed to stop sharing anything with his parents or anyone else. “I had thought they would protect me,” he said. Fidelis became withdrawn. “I was always feeling angry and just wanted to be left alone,” he stated.
After another incident in the same school, where he was beaten till he bled in his back, Fidelis became an even more withdrawn child.
At university, he was introduced to smoking hard substances. “I was now ready to act violently whenever provoked,” he recalled. He lost interest in his studies and started engaging in business.
“The business failed when I was robbed while returning from a restocking trip,” he said. Although something told him to call his parents for help, Fidelis stuck to himself.
Finally, he returned home but continued keeping late nights. “I started hearing voices in my head – voices that asked me to shut out people,” he said.
Although he was now at rock bottom in his finances and other areas of life, Fidelis remained isolated from his family.
Road To Deliverance And Freedom
“My brother had advised me to come to The SCOAN for prayer but I’d kept refusing,” he opened up. As fate would have it, however, Fidelis decided to accompany his sister to The SCOAN.
“When I came here, I began experiencing a throbbing headache and a voice told me to go to the restroom so I could avoid the Prayer Line,” he said. With God’s help, Fidelis resisted the voice and made himself available for prayer.
And today his story has changed for good! During his testimony, Fidelis was surrounded by his family – his parents and two siblings.
His mother narrated how much pain she had felt while Fidelis was in the wild, metaphorically speaking. “I never gave up on him,” she said, urging other parents never to abandon their children.
According to his father, Fidelis was sent to the school in question as a way to instill discipline in him. “Let’s learn to listen to our children,” he charged other parents.
His siblings Benjamin and Maureen said they were happy to see the change in him. “Everything is good in God’s time,” Maureen reminded the church.
Finally, Fidelis apologised to his family for the pain he had caused them.

SCOAN Sunday Service: The Cross Kind Of Life
LISTEN TO THE SERMON TITLED: The Cross Kind Of Life
Joining the church for the sermon, Evangelist Joseph led them to affirm thus: “My God is good all the time.”
His message was entitled “The Cross Kind of Life” and for it he read from 2 Corinthians 4:17–18 and 1 Peter 5:10. Other references for the sermon included Mark 8:34, Romans 8:18, Hebrews 12:2, James 1:12, Matthew 16:24 and Luke 9:23.
“The Cross kind of life,” he said, “is a mandatory processing season where your faith will be tested through trials.” He added that it was a pathway that had to be followed boldly. Taking up the cross, he continued, means accepting that difficult times are meant to build the believer rather than destroy them. As such, the good Christian is not expected to moan in frustration at such times but to seek to know the lessons God has in store for them.
Urged To Embrace Their Cross
Evangelist Joseph said that without the cross there can be no glory, meaning that adversity must be borne boldly and calmly. He stated that because such a situation may mark the turning point in a person’s life, it should never be skipped. He also noted that Jesus Christ will help anyone who calls on Him during such times.
“Jesus is the unseen hand behind the scene lifting the burden with you,” he said. He therefore charged the people not to be discouraged when their pace seems to be slow. According to him, “It is far better to follow the slow and sure way than to follow the fast way that will ruin you.”
Quite importantly, in words that echo the teachings of Prophet TB Joshua, the evangelist assured the church: “What matters is not what men say about you but what God says about you and what you believe about yourself.”
On that note, he urged everyone going through difficulty never to look down on themselves but to pursue the ultimate goal of the God kind of life, which can only be achieved through the Cross kind of life.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: PrayerLine Session (November 1, 2026)
The SCOAN Evangelists
“When you say you are fine, you are making a positive confession over your situation,” Evangelist James told the church as he moved to the Prayer Line. He asks them to declare, “How I feel has little or nothing to do with how I am. The part of me that is hurt is only a shell.”
The SCOAN Evangelists then began the ministration of prayers of healing, deliverance and breakthrough.
Among the prayer recipients were those suffering from leg ulcers, different bodily injuries and fractures, fire burns, swollen legs due to heart problems and other issues, swollen jaw, swollen belly, skin disease, and bleeding.
Expectant mothers facing various issues also appeared before the Master Surgeon, who replaced their fears with quiet confidence.
Prayers were equally offered for those with difficulty in walking, hernia, drug addiction, mental disorder, loss of memory, goitre, stroke, prostate enlargement, difficulty in breathing, fibroids, and infertility, among others.
One-On-One Deliverance Session
Finally, during the One-On-One Session, there was no means of escape for any stubborn demon as the Holy Spirit forced confessions from them before expelling them. Thank You, Jesus!
SCOAN Sunday Service Mass Prayer (November 1, 2026)
SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Evangelists
“In the presence of God there is fullness of joy,” said Evangelist Chisom at the start of the Mass Prayer session. He led the people to sing, “Holy Spirit, Welcome In This Place!”
Evangelist Chisom urged the people to free their hearts from bitterness and all pain of the past. He asked them to pray: “O Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Living God – contact my heart, contact my spirit! I have received the keys of Heaven. Whatever I bind here on earth shall be bound in Heaven. Whatever I loose here on earth shall be loosed in Heaven. I loose myself from every captivity, in the name of Jesus! Every spirit that is not of God – Out, in the name of Jesus!”
Taking over, Evangelist Ope asked the church to pray: “You spirit of calamity waiting for me, anywhere you are: Out! You spirit of death hovering around me – give way, in the name of Jesus!”
Evangelist Joseph prayed: “All spirits of affliction – all poison, all hidden sickness in your body – Out, in the name of Jesus!”
Next, Evangelist James told the people to decree: “You spirit of destruction operating in my life – my career, family, finances – I command you: Out, by the fire of the Holy Ghost!”
SCOAN Sunday Service: Prophet TB Joshua
In a Mass Prayer video, Prophet TB Joshua urged the people to declare: “The cause of challenges, situation, sickness and disease – Out of my body!” The man of God prayed: “Wherever that pain, affliction is located – I command it out, in the name of Jesus!”
The man of God continued: “Every unfavourable situation will end here, in the name of Jesus! Whatever disease, affliction in your system – I command it out, in the name of Jesus! Your unfavourable situation is closed, in the name of Jesus! Arise, in the name of Jesus! Your career – rise and shine, in Jesus’ name!”
SCOAN Sunday Service: The Grace
Before leading the saying of The Grace, Evangelist Ope charged the people to declare: “I am a shining light!”
