In The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, it was a truly special worship session on Sunday, April 21, 2024. Led by the choristers, the people sang out their hearts to the Throne Of Grace as they gathered again in The Arena Of Liberty, where God Almighty has for decades used the faculties of His servants to bring healing, liberation and abundant blessings to people of faith. For the gift of another day, congregants thanked God Almighty and asked that He cleanse them from all unrighteousness. They acknowledged their inability to tell all that the Lord had done for them, even as they extolled His name in song after song. For God’s incredibly mighty hand that was upon them, causing them to soar high in the land of the living, the people worshipped with all their strength and danced with happy abandon.

When he joined them for the sermon, Evangelist Ope read from Luke 9:62 and Luke 17:32. He then announced the title of his message as “DON’T COMPROMISE”. He also asked congregants to read 2 Timothy 4:10. It was a powerful message that was delivered with conviction. The evangelist began by noting, “Compromise means to turn from your convictions, to turn from your original pledge or commitment.” He went on to identify the love of this world and challenges as two major reasons why people compromise in their Christian walk.

Furthermore, the preacher explained that desperation from delayed expectations has caused many to give more for less and take less for more. He therefore urged the people to avoid going back to their vomit (2 Peter 2:22) because of challenges that seem not to be responding to prayer. “There is no alternative to our faith in God,” he told the church. Quoting Prophet TB Joshua, he noted: “It is better to live poorly upon the fruits of God’s goodness than to live plentifully upon the products of our own sin.”  

Before ending the message, Evangelist Ope acknowledged the difficulty of the present times and encouraged congregants not to compromise but to soldier on as they hope for a better tomorrow (2 Timothy 2:3). His last words were quite captivating: “Endure to Enjoy; don’t enjoy to endure. If you enjoy today what you ought to endure today, you will endure tomorrow what you ought to enjoy tomorrow.”

The Floodgate Of Heaven Opened To Them All!

“This is a new dawn,” Pastor Evelyn Joshua told the people as she joined them for the Prayer Line ministration.

The woman of God prayed: “Father Lord, we bless Your holy name. We thank You for the grace to be here – to worship and to praise You. Almighty God, we ask You to discipline our lives so that we continue to do Your will. O Lord God Almighty, let Your Kingdom flow through our heart, taking us to where You want us to be. Father, let the floodgate of Heaven be opened and let Your blessing, healing, mercy, favour, compassion – all that You have promised us – rain upon us today, in the name of Jesus Christ! Holy Spirit, come and take Your place. Touch our lives for good today, in the name of Jesus Christ! We thank You, Lord, because we know You have heard our prayers. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray!”

After calling on God Almighty on behalf of the people, Pastor Evelyn Joshua proceeded to lay hands on those suffering from difficulty in walking, neck stiffness, shortness of breath/difficulty in breathing, asthma, head injury, pneumonia, and piles, as well as alcohol and drug addiction.

The woman of God also prayed for pregnant women, covering their unborn treasures with the Blood Of Jesus Christ. Among the women who received prayer were those facing afflictions of bleeding, multiple fibroids and other issues.

Alongside The SCOAN Evangelists, Pastor Evelyn Joshua also ministered to cases such as swollen belly, seizures, mental disorder, stomach ulcers, bone fracture, and leg/palm ulcers, among other bodily troubles that only God’s power can eliminate.

Christ’s finished work was also available for others in the auditorium and the Overflow Section, causing demons to be exposed before being expelled.

Equally, during the One-On-One session, the evangelists declared: “Fire all over your body! Out, in the name of Jesus! Rise up; Jesus Christ has set you free!”

Victory Released By Faith Out Of Their Mouth!

 “Jehovah has the final say to every one of your situations,” Pastor Evelyn Joshua said to congregants as she joined them for the Mass Prayer session.

Pastor Evelyn Joshua told the people to pray: “Lord Jesus, establish Your Kingdom in my life, in my heart; strengthen my determination and desire to come to You, to follow You. Grant my body and soul a heart that does not bear grudges. Give me a heart that is pure, humble, sincere, in the name of Jesus Christ!”

The woman of God read from Mark 11:12-14, 20-25 and reminded the people, “There is power in your tongue; the belief in your heart will be released by faith out of your mouth and there will be results.” She told them, “Ask for forgiveness right now in the name of Jesus Christ.” She told them to pray: “Son of David, have mercy on me, a sinner in need of Your grace.”

Pastor Evelyn Joshua further prayed: “Every mountain in your life – be cast into the sea, in the name of Jesus! Mountain of sorrow, pain, sickness, affliction, frustration, barrenness – be removed, in the name of Jesus! Be healed, in the name of Jesus! Mountain of setback, hatred – out, in the name of Jesus! Be freed, in the name of Jesus! Be healed from every affliction, pain, hurt, in the name of Jesus! Be freed, in the name of Jesus Christ!”

“Say no to every distraction right now,” Pastor Evelyn Joshua told viewers all over the world. She prayed for them: “Receive the blessings of God, in the name of Jesus! Be healed from that affliction, disease, pain! Be delivered from that chain, shackle, in the name of Jesus Christ! Father Lord, touch their careers for blessings! Breakthrough in your job, career, in the name of Jesus! Peace in your life, in your family, in the name of Jesus! Receive, by the Blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Ghost!”

Evangelist Joseph prayed: “Every demon, contrary spirit, messenger of satan sent against your life – out, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ! You demon, familiar spirit – I command you anywhere you are: Out!”

Evangelist James prayed: “Every unclean spirit, every familiar spirit causing you shame, pain, nightmares – out, in the name of Jesus! You contrary spirit – Out!”

Evangelist Chisom told the people to pray: “You spirit, the cause of my sickness, disease – anywhere you are in my body, your end has come, in the name of Jesus! You sickness – anywhere you are tormenting my body – I command you, in the name of Jesus: Out!”

Evangelist Ope told the people to pray: “You spirit holding my breakthrough – anywhere you are: Out!”

In a Mass Prayer video, Prophet TB Joshua declared: “Every satanic covenant in your life – satanic covenant of attitude, character – begin to leave right now! I release you, in the name of Jesus! Be released, in the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus, every spirit that disturbs you – I put them in a cage, in the name of Jesus! Your heart – engage right now, in the name of Jesus!” He also told the people to pray: “Jesus, deliver me! I press in to touch You.” The man of God further declared: “I command light wherever sickness is located! Light in your kidneys, liver, bones, blood, fluid! You disease –  vanish, in the name of Jesus!” God’s servant stated, “When Jesus cures, He cures perpetually!”

Testimonies

Shining Light Receives His Healing In The Name Of Jesus Christ!

Shining Light, a boy of under 10, was brought to The Arena Of Liberty for prayer on April 14, 2024. He had an elbow dislocation that had prevented him from writing his last terminal examination. “We took him to bonesetters, but there wasn’t much improvement,” his mother said a week later. After receiving prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, Shining Light felt the power of God course through him and he immediately started to use the affected hand. The little boy was excited as he waved the hand to the people during the testimony. “I feel fine,” he told congregants. His mother said, “God can heal all kinds of illness; run to Him.”

Rescued From Household Demons And Marine Forces

On April 14, 2024, during the ministration of prayers of healing and deliverance, Victory was one of those who felt the impact of God’s power. A week later, she returned to the church for her testimony. “I used to have nightmares that I believed were caused by a fetish earthenware pot that was placed in the room where we slept,” she said. Although she and her siblings had been warned not to touch the pot or pour palm oil into it, they refused to heed the warning. “First, we poured palm oil into the pot and later broke it,” she said. Subsequently, Victory’s parents died and their children’s woes multiplied. “We all lived from hand to mouth,” she said, “and we always faced disappointment.” She also disclosed that people disliked her for no reason. She recalled losing four serious relationships in succession. “Another woman would just come and take the man away from me,” she said. “Nothing was working for me,” she continued, adding, “my health was consistently poor and there was an object moving around in my stomach.” Since her deliverance, Victory has stopped having nightmares or seeing snakes in the dream. She advised others to hold on to God. “Nobody comes to God and goes home empty-handed,” she asserted.

As Ulcer Sores Vanish, Celestina Cries No More!

On February 6, 2022, Celestina sat before Pastor Evelyn Joshua to receive prayer over an ulcer that was eating away at a spot just above her right ankle. According to her, a man had offered to help her by making incisions over the sore to supposedly expel the ‘bad blood’ inside it. However, the situation worsened, forcing doctors to suggest amputation. Celestina declined the idea of amputation. “One day, my husband brought home the Anointing Water from The SCOAN. “I saw instant change and I asked to be brought to the church for more of God’s power,” she said on April 24, 2024. After the prayer, Celestina’s smelly ulcerous sore started to dry up. Today, she is able to walk around freely and is no longer ashamed to expose the leg, as only the scar remains. “Now I can do my business and mix with people,” she smiled. She urged others to accept the fact that God can change every negative situation. Celestina’s son, Emmanuel, thanked God for wiping away his mother’s tears. “Put God first,” he advised others.

Marital Bliss Restored As Demonic Spirit Is Expelled!

It was from a spirit husband that Faith was delivered during the service of April 14, 2024. “My father used to give us some of the food sacrificed to idols,” she began her testimony a week later. Along the line, her father had taken her to a witchdoctor who cut into her scalp and put some concoction into the cut. “From then onwards, I started to have nightmares in which I saw strange animals,” she said. The spirit affected her in many other ways. “I became wayward, lost interest in school and fell pregnant out of wedlock,” she further said. Even in marriage, Faith was extremely aggressive towards her husband and children. “I used to beat my children mercilessly,” she confessed. However, her patient husband always said to her, “You need deliverance.” To the glory of God, that deliverance came during the service in question. Now she has become a new creature in Jesus Christ. “Now I have a better relationship with my husband and children,” she said. She advised wives to embrace God and to be wary of the things they say to their husbands. Her husband thanked God for bringing the peace of God into his family. “Run to God,” he advised others.

16 Years After, Olabisi’s Thigh Ulcer Stays Healed!

A hideous ulcer had taken residence at the end of Olabisi’s left thigh, at the back. It had come from an injury that resulted after she fell into the gutter. “The injury was treated in the hospital, but it continued to bleed and the doctors did not know what else to do,” she recalled on April 21, 2024. Following a suggestion by neighbours, Olabisi, then a 34-year-old, was brought to The SCOAN for prayer. “As Prophet TB Joshua ministered, I felt something come out of me and my injury healed in no time,” she said. Since that day, September 7, 2008, Olabisi has remained free from every sign of ulcer. Thank you, Jesus! “Move close to God,” she advised others.

Jacob’s Fire Burns Obey God’s Voice!

On November 13, 2022, teenager Jacob was a recipient of prayer as Pastor Evelyn Joshua ministered the prayer of healing. He had come with the issue of fire burns. “Fire ignited as I tried to set light to firewood for cooking,” he recalled on April 14, 2024. Jacob was taken to hospital, but his cure was slow in coming. “I could not go to school, as I felt pain all the time,” he said. After the prayer, however, Jacob felt instant relief in his face and arm – the parts affected by the fire. Now fully fit, he advised others to take every issue to God. His mother recalled his days of severe pain and glorified God for helping her boy to get back on his feet. “I have joy in me,” she declared. “She advised others, “Have faith in God.”

Addiction To Masturbation And Drinking Vanish As Spirit Wife Is Defeated!

“I have scattered the marriage; the children are not there,” boasted the demonic voice speaking through Joseph during the service of April 14, 2024. That voice represented a spirit wife that had afflicted Joseph since his father’s refusal to take over the custodianship of the idols of his father´s household. “The demon made me bed-wet for 25 years,” Joseph told the church on April 21, during his testimony. One day, he had heard someone call his name during a foray into the forest with his errant classmates. “A spirit wife started making love to me during the night and I would have to look for a woman during the day,” he continued. Not satisfied with such women, he would engage in masturbation and endless drinking. “Along the line, my first wife left and I married another one but my troubles continued,” he said. Bothered by the way his life was going, Joseph asked for a church where he could be saved. “Why not go to The Synagogue?” someone had asked him. And that was how Joseph came to The Arena Of Liberty, where Jesus liberated him! He no longer has nightly affairs with the spirit wife, even as addiction to drinking and masturbation have vanished.  “Submit to God,” he advised others.

27 Years After Her Healing From Ear And Jaw Ulcer, Maria Remains A Steadfast Believer!

There was no doubt about it: Maria’s face was a disturbing eyesore on December 17, 1997! That was the day she came to The SCOAN for prayer over the issue of ear and jaw cancer. She had woken up with a boil on her face. “I told my children not to touch the boil, but as the hours passed more boils appeared on my face and even the doctors could do nothing about them,” she said on April 21, 2024 – 27 years after her miracle. A friend had urged her to visit The SCOAN for prayer. “Prophet TB Joshua prayed for me by touching his own face and I felt instant relief,” she recalled. After the prayer, Prophet TB Joshua asked that water be given to Maria. “After drinking the water, I sang all the way home,” she told the church. She told of how a woman with a similar issue had passed away after refusing to seek God for her healing. “The husband of the other woman had refused to allow her to come here,” she said. “Seek God before anything else,” she advised others. Maria’s daughter recalled how sad and tough those days had been for her and her siblings. “No problem is greater than God,” she said.
