Read the recap of The SCOAN Sunday Service held on November 8, 2026, featuring sermon ‘Avoid Envy’, along with other events.
People of God, Good Morning And Win Today, Win Tomorrow And Win Forever!
The SCOAN Sunday Service of Sunday, November 8, 2026 witnessed an outpouring of God’s Spirit as the congregation sought redemption, salvation and transformation through prayer and supplication from the innermost parts of their hearts. Worshippers spent some minutes in prayer, calling on the Holy Spirit to possess their hearts.
“O Holy Spirit, make my heart Your dwelling place!” they declared individually. Demonstrating their total surrender to His Majesty, the congregation worshipped God with songs of gratitude and exaltation, celebrating His innumerable blessings upon their lives and enthusing, “O What A Mighty God We Have!”
The SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Choir
The SCOAN Choir animated the Arena of Liberty by ushering the congregation into a mood of worship. Every element of their rendition pointed to the harmony between the worshippers and Heaven, as their songs echoed the unity between God’s children and their Heavenly Father, who never stops blessing and uplifting them out of life’s troubles.
“From My Heart/When I Look At What You have Done/I Must Thank You Always/The Work of Your Hands Is Wonderful!” As the tempo of the songs and dance gathered greater momentum, worshippers echoed The SCOAN Choir’s musical declarations, chorusing “I have Never Seen God Fail Or Disappoint/He Keeps To Every Promise/He Never Disappoints!”
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Testimonies (November 8, 2026)
Nonso’s Pain Succumbs To Jesus’ Power
Here is his testimony:
Nonso had been experiencing sharp and excruciating pain while attempting to change over the power supply in his home. The pain was so severe that he resorted to taking several medications, but none provided relief.
Given the nature of his job, which required him to stand for long hours, carrying out his daily responsibilities became extremely difficult during that period.
Determined to receive divine intervention, Nonso decided to visit The SCOAN for prayers. As he received prayer from an Evangelist at the Prayer Line, the sharp and excruciating pain that had troubled him disappeared immediately, to the glory of God.
Testifying on Sunday, November 8, 2026, Nonso encouraged everyone with a simple but powerful message:“Only believe!”
End Of The Road For Family Idol
Here is her testimony:
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, Abosede recounted how strange experiences had begun to haunt her when she was about seven years old, with an unfamiliar voice repeatedly calling her and directing her attention towards a tree where she saw a bright light.
As she grew older, she experienced disturbing dreams involving unusually short beings, struggled academically and became notorious for indiscipline. Her difficulties continued when her name was omitted from secondary school admission lists on three occasions.
Frustrated, she took to excessive drinking and a wayward lifestyle, while a relationship she had hoped would lead to marriage eventually collapsed even as she became known as Bose, the Drunkard.
Her journey to deliverance began in 2024 during The SCOAN Living Water Service. As she ascended the Mountain of Prayer, she experienced God’s intervention, after which the disturbing dreams, excessive drinking and irresponsible lifestyle began to disappear.
Recognising God’s Deliverance Power
However, she subsequently recognised what she considered a deeper spiritual problem affecting her family, with members experiencing recurring setbacks and stagnation. Determined to seek complete deliverance for her family, she returned to The SCOAN.
On Sunday, November 1, 2026, Abosede approached the Prayer Line and began experiencing the power of God even before the evangelist reached her.
“Immediately he laid his hand on me, I could not remember anything anymore,” she said, adding that by the time she regained full consciousness, it was obvious a huge burden had been lifted off her.
Testifying on Sunday, November 8, 2026, she expressed gratitude for her deliverance and transformation, encouraging others with the assurance: “When people reject you, God will not reject you!”
A New Beginning For Uchenna
Here is his testimony:
Uchenna’s 13-year struggle with drug addiction began after the death of his father, a disciplined police officer. While grieving, he fell into the company of friends who introduced him to drugs and internet fraud.
What began with marijuana gradually escalated to stronger substances as he sought escape from life’s pressures.
His addiction brought disturbing nightmares, with strange beings threatening to kill him, leaving him constantly afraid of impending death. He also became increasingly aggressive and violent, frequently looking for fights.
His worried family made several attempts to seek spiritual help, but without success. Meanwhile, his addiction cost him numerous opportunities to build a better future.
A decisive decision
Despite repeated encouragement from a neighbour, Mr Emmanuel, Uchenna initially resisted visiting The SCOAN. He eventually agreed and visited the Arena of Liberty.
Recalling his Prayer Line experience, he said, “Immediately the Evangelist laid his hand on me, I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I knew something had left my body.”
Testifying on Sunday, November 8, 2026, Uchenna declared that his life had taken a completely new direction. He described himself as a new creation in Christ, with a growing passion for reading the Bible and no desire for drugs.
He also testified to now having peaceful sleep. The anger and aggression that once defined him have also given way to calmness, to the surprise of his friends.
His neighbour, Mr Emmanuel, who accompanied him to church, also testified, thanking God for Uchenna’s deliverance and explaining how he had persistently encouraged him to seek God’s intervention at the Arena of Liberty.
He gave all the glory to God for using his counsel to help rescue a young man from destruction.
He advised young people, he cautioned: “Youths, don’t allow peer pressure to push you into doing something negative.”

SCOAN Sunday Service: Avoid Envy
LISTEN TO THE SERMON TITLED: Avoid Envy
Taking his place on The SCOAN Altar, Evangelist James began by affirming, “Indeed, God is with us.”
Reading from Proverbs 24:1 and James 3:16, he preached against the dangers of envy. He challenged the congregation to examine their hearts, asking whether they had ever struggled to celebrate another person’s blessings or wished they could exchange lives with someone they considered more fortunate.
Defining envy as resentment or discontentment arising from another person’s possessions, achievements or advantages, Evangelist James explained that it is selfish, self-centred and rooted in a sense of undeserved entitlement. He warned that envy displaces God’s love in the heart, replacing gratitude for one’s blessings with the belief that one deserves what another person has received.
He explained that envy makes people forget God’s numerous blessings, encouraging comparison and complaints rather than trust and thanksgiving. It also breeds entitlement, causing people to judge God’s goodness by whether He grants their personal desires. Consequently, those consumed by envy find it difficult to celebrate others, believing they are more deserving of their blessings.
Remain Content In Every Situation
Evangelist James urged the congregation to examine their expectations, particularly the things they believe would make them happy. He explained that whatever follows the words, “If only I had this, then I would be content,” often reveals where they were seeking their happiness, peace and lasting fulfilment.
Using Adam and Eve as an example, he explained how satan first made them dissatisfied with their perfect circumstances before leading them into disobedience. Their experience demonstrated that contentment was a state of mind rather than a product of favourable circumstances. He therefore encouraged Christians to remain content in every situation, trusting in God’s unfailing love.
He also reminded the congregation of Joseph’s experience, observing that good character and favour could attract envy from rivals. While goodness could become the cause of envy, its consequences were invariably destructive.
Concluding his message, Evangelist James counselled the congregation not to waste their lives envying others, reminding them that God is faithful, impartial and never plays favourites. He assured them that God generously provides His children with grace and mercy, faithfully meeting their needs. He reiterated that the best antidote to the poison of envy is contentment in the love of God.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Words Of Encouragement (November 8, 2026)
Pastor Evelyn Joshua
Stepping into the auditorium, Pastor Evelyn Joshua encouraged the congregation to say, “Thank You, Jesus!” The woman of God then prayed: “Father Lord, we bless Your holy name. Jesus Christ, we honour You. Holy Spirit, we adore You.
Almighty God, we are here in Your name – the name that is above every other name, that heals the sick and raises those who cannot walk, that restores hope to the hopeless, that the devil hears and trembles – the name of Jesus Christ, our Hope of Glory. Father, we thank You…. We say honour, glory adoration, praise to Your name forever, in Jesus’ name!”

SCOAN Sunday Service Mass Prayer (November 8, 2026)
Pastor Evelyn Joshua
“May the peace and joy of God never depart from your home,” declared Pastor Evelyn Joshua as she joined the congregation for the Mass Prayer. Encouraging the people to prepare to receive their miracles, she said: “Get ready to pray and receive. Get ready to be healed from that affliction, disease.
Get ready to sing a new song – songs of victory. The life of a child of God is a life of prayer! May your plea for mercy, favour be granted, in the name of Jesus!”
The woman of God then prayed: “Nightmares threatening your peace, we say, be delivered from them, in the name of Jesus. Any connection you have with anything that does not glorify the name of the Lord, we command it to be broken, in the name of Jesus. Every spirit of stealing, lying, gambling, drunkenness, be delivered from them, in the name of Jesus Christ.
That power of healing and deliverance fall afresh on you, in the name of Jesus! I command the healing hand of God to fall afresh on you, in the mighty name of Jesus. Be free, healed, restored, in the name of Jesus, by the Blood of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

May you be comforted, in the name of Jesus! Every altar that has swallowed your goodness, joy, we command it to be removed, in the mighty name of Jesus.

In a Mass Prayer video, Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed: “Every spirit that causes you disappointment, sickness, disease, setback, nightmares, affliction – begin to rebuke them. Every spirit that torments you, that causes you sickness and affliction, begin to rebuke them. I command that affliction, sickness, disease out of your organ, body, system. Wherever it is located – out! Every poison, wherever it is located – command it out, in the mighty name of Jesus! I break that poison in your system, organ, in the name of Jesus! Affliction in your blood, body, tendons, liver, I command them out!”
