Read the recap of The SCOAN Sunday Service held on April 12, 2026, featuring sermon ‘Whose Cross Are You Carrying?’, along with other events.
Key Events Highlights
The SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Choir
On Sunday, April 12, 2026, The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN) was filled with gratitude and expectation as believers gathered to honour the Lord and receive from Him. The atmosphere was charged with faith and reverence, as worshippers came with a deep hunger for God’s presence, ready to seek Him in sincerity and truth. Psalm 107:1 set the tone for the service: “O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.”
The service commenced with a call to approach God with pure hearts and a genuine desire for communion, as inspired by Matthew 6:6, which reminds believers to seek the Father in sincerity. From every corner of the Arena of Liberty, hearts rose in one accord in prayer, creating a powerful sense of unity in the Spirit. There was a shared expectation that God would move mightily and grant the desires of every heart according to His will.
Psalm 100:1–2 found expression as the congregation made a joyful noise unto the Lord, serving Him with gladness and coming before His presence with singing. Voices were lifted in harmony, and the atmosphere became saturated with worship, faith, and anticipation for a divine encounter.
The SCOAN Choir led the congregation into a deeper realm of worship, lifting hearts in songs of surrender, gratitude, and devotion. Each song created a sacred atmosphere where distractions faded and attention was drawn wholly to God. Worshippers were gently ushered into moments of reflection, repentance, and renewed consecration.
As the melodies flowed, hearts were softened and spirits were aligned with Heaven. The congregation responded in unity, lifting their voices in harmony and heartfelt worship. Faith rose steadily across the auditorium, and a deep sense of reverence filled the Arena of Liberty.
In that atmosphere, worship became more than song—it became encounter. Many were visibly moved, tears flowing as burdens lifted in God’s presence. The reality of God’s nearness became undeniable, as the atmosphere radiated peace, joy, and divine assurance.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Testimonies (April 12, 2026)
SPIRIT OF GAMBLING EXPELLED FOREVER
Fortune began gambling in secondary school, and what started as a habit grew into a severe addiction that affected his studies, delayed his graduation, and plunged him into heavy debt.
Here is his testimony:
The situation worsened during my National Youth Service, where loan debts nearly cost me my certificate.
Overwhelmed with confusion, I was advised to seek help at The Synagogue, Church of All Nations.
At the Prayer Line, the evangelist prayed, “You spirit behind this addiction—Out, in the name of Jesus!” I immediately felt a complete release, as the urge to gamble vanished instantly.
At the same time, I was also healed of long-standing piles that had resisted medical treatment.
I give glory to God for my total freedom from addiction and restoration of my life.
His mother thanked God for transforming her son’s destiny.
FAMILY IDOL SILENCED BY THE ANOINTING
My life was heavily troubled by what my family understood to be a spiritual problem linked to a family idol.
This family idol showed itself through constant nightmares, spiritual attacks, stagnation in life, and disturbing encounters with snakes in dreams and reality.
I also struggled with anger that affected my relationships. Even when I travelled abroad, there was no improvement, so I returned to Nigeria for help.
After watching Emmanuel TV, I came to The Synagogue, Church of All Nations for prayer.
At the Prayer Line, the evangelist declared, “Every ancestral spirit, every family idol speaking against your destiny—Out, in the name of Jesus!”
I immediately fell under the power of God and was delivered.
Since that moment, I have been completely free.
I sleep peacefully without nightmares and live without oppression.
Testifying with her mother, she encouraged others to hold firmly to their faith in God.
YOKE OF CIGARETTE SMOKING LIFTED
Here’s her testimony:
I was addicted to cigarette smoking for 27 years.
I tried to stop many times, including seeking help from herbalists, but nothing worked and my health kept getting worse.
My breakthrough came when a friend introduced me to Emmanuel TV.
As I prayed along with Prophet T. B. Joshua, I began to experience deliverance and even vomited harmful substances.
Through the use of the Anointing Water, the addiction gradually disappeared completely.
Any attempt to smoke again now makes me uncomfortable.
Today, I am fully free, healthy, and grateful to God.
For advice, she told the people: “Never give up on God in any situation.“
NIGHTMARES, CEASED MENSTRUATION BOW TO JESUS
Odunayo suffered persistent spiritual and health challenges.
Here’s her testimony:
I had repeated nightmares involving snakes. I also experienced five years of delay before gaining admission into university.
This led to depression, and I became dependent on sleeping tablets. In addition, I suffered a hormonal imbalance that stopped my menstruation.
My mother, convinced the problem was spiritual, brought me to The Synagogue, Church of All Nations for prayer.
At the Prayer Line, the evangelist declared, “You spirit causing affliction, delay, and disorder in this body—Out, by the Blood of Jesus!”
I was instantly delivered.
Immediately, my health and peace of mind were restored.
For advice, she encouraged the people: “Remain steadfast in your faith in God.”
FAMILY CURSE ERASED BY HEAVEN
Here’s her testimony:
My life was affected by what my family identified as a generational curse.
It showed itself through constant nightmares, spiritual disturbances, inability to complete my education due to financial hardship, and a troubling anger issue.
My mother confirmed that these problems run in the family.
Following wise counsel, I came to The Synagogue, Church of All Nations for prayer.
During the Mass Prayer, as the congregation declared, I experienced a powerful divine encounter and lost awareness of my surroundings.
When I regained my composure, I realised the burden had completely lifted. I am now free and at peace.
I feel free and I sleep like a baby.
For advice, she told the people: “Seek God for help.“
RAPID HEALING ORDAINED BY GOD
Professor Kingsley, an Emmanuel TV Partner, had been faithfully using spiritual items, including the Anointing Water, when he was involved in a serious accident that left him with injuries to his head, face, and a fractured right hand requiring surgery.
Here’s his testimony:
Despite medical intervention, recovery remained slow and discouraging until I reached out to the Emmanuel TV Prayer Line.
As prayers were offered, my healing began to accelerate remarkably, to the astonishment of my doctors.
Today, I stand completely restored.
What was expected to take six months was divinely completed within a short time.
I give glory to God.
For advice, he told the people: “Trust in Him.”
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Whose Cross Are You Carrying?
LISTEN TO THE SERMON TITLED: Whose Cross Are You Carrying?
Evangelist Jemila began the message on the altar with a simple but powerful statement: “Love is a beautiful thing.” She then introduced the sermon titled “Whose Cross Are You Carrying?”, drawing from Galatians 6:2 and Matthew 16:24.
She explained the difference between a burden and a cross. A burden, she said, is temporary and can be shared. A cross, however, is personal. It is a divine assignment designed for each individual by God. No one else can carry it or complete it for you.
She illustrated this with Simon of Cyrene. He helped Jesus carry the cross for a moment, but he did not complete the journey. In the same way, she noted, people may support us, but destiny remains personal.
She went on to address emotional exhaustion among believers. Many people are weary, she said, not because of their own trials, but because they are trying to do what only God can do. This includes trying to change others or fix broken relationships by human effort.
She stressed, using John 16:8, that only the Holy Spirit can convict and transform the human heart. No amount of pressure or argument can produce real change. She urged believers to surrender and allow God to work through them.
Drawing from Proverbs 21:1, she emphasised God’s sovereignty over every heart and situation. If God can turn the heart of a king, she said, He can change any life or circumstance. However, this happens only when believers release control.
She also warned that many delay their breakthroughs because they refuse to let go. She explained that the moment a person steps back in faith is often the moment God steps in with power.
Referencing Matthew 5:16, she taught that true influence comes not through arguments but through a Christ-like life. Love, patience, humility, and consistency are what draw others to God. She echoed the teaching of T. B. Joshua in “The Voice of Love,” that true love breaks barriers and heals relationships.
In conclusion, she encouraged the broken-hearted. She assured them that God sees every tear and wastes none. When human strength ends, she said, God’s power begins. She urged the congregation to stop struggling and start trusting, to carry their own cross, and to release every burden to God.
PASTOR EVELYN JOSHUA
At the altar, the woman of God, Evelyn Joshua, addressed the congregation. She reminded them of God’s unfailing love despite human weakness. She encouraged them to remain faithful and to remember that life’s troubles are temporary. “God wants to bring you close,” she said, as she prepared the congregation for the Prayer Line.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Prayerline Session (April 12, 2026)
At the Prayer Line, the woman of God, ministered in the power of the Holy Spirit, speaking with authority into different lives and situations. Over one person suffering difficulty in walking, she declared, “You spirit causing this affliction—Out! Walk, in the name of Jesus!”
Over another with a skin disease, she prayed, “Every infirmity in your blood—be cleansed!” Over a swollen belly, she commanded, “Every contrary spirit—leave, in the name of Jesus!”
As cases of HIV/AIDS, goitre, sickle cell anaemia, and fibroids were brought before God in prayer, she declared, “Be healed! Be delivered! Be restored, in Jesus’ name!” The atmosphere became intensely charged with the manifestation of God’s power.
Many began to vomit poisonous substances, signifying the expulsion of every root of affliction. Pregnant women also received prayer and assurance: “You shall deliver safely, in the name of Jesus!”
The SCOAN Evangelists
Throughout the session, the evangelists also ministered alongside the woman of God, praying for the sick and supporting the flow of the Holy Spirit as lives were touched and situations transformed by the power of God.
SCOAN Sunday Service Mass Prayer (April 12, 2026)
Pastor Evelyn Joshua
“Jesus alone is worthy of your praise,” Pastor Evelyn Joshua declared as she led the congregation into a deep moment of prayer. She urged everyone to prepare their hearts to speak, pray, and receive.
She then released a powerful prayer: “All mountains in your life must submit, in the name of Jesus! We declare you free, in the name of Jesus! You are sheltered under the wings of the Almighty! Father, help us to do more than we can do! Be healed from that pain, from that deep hurt! Every power challenging God’s authority in your life—Out! Receive the anointing of joy! Be freed! healed and delivered!”
The SCOAN Evangelists
Evangelist James prayed: “You unclean spirit tormenting my life—I command you: Out, in the name of Jesus!”
Taking over, Evangelist Joseph declared: “All familiar spirits, demons, messengers of satan—Out, by the fire of the Holy Ghost!”
Evangelist Chisom charged the congregation: “You spirit causing sickness and disease in my life—Out, by the Blood of Jesus!”
Evangelist Ope proclaimed: “Every garment of poverty and hardship—Out, by the fire of the Holy Ghost!”
The congregation was also led to make personal declarations of faith: “My God is able! Favour is mine! Victory is mine!”
In a Mass Prayer video, Prophet T. B. Joshua reinforced the same declarations, praying: “That spirit of limitation—leave, in the name of Jesus! That affliction is over! That stagnation is over, in the name of Jesus! You are free, in the name of Jesus!” He then urged the people to rejoice in their victory.
Prophet T.B Joshua
