Read the recap of The SCOAN Sunday Service held on June 07, 2026, featuring sermon ‘Refuse To Be Distracted’, along with other events.
Good Morning And Win Today, Win Tomorrow And Win Forever, people of God!
The SCOAN Sunday Service of June 2, 2026, brought together people from all over the world to worship God and celebrate his servant Prophet T.B. Joshua, just as Psalm 100:4 says, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
The service was held during a deeply reflective period for the ministry as believers around the world continued to celebrate the life and enduring legacy of Prophet T.B. Joshua, who transited to glory on June 5, 2021, and whose posthumous 63rd birthday falls on June 12, 2026. Partners, viewers of Emmanuel TV and friends of The TB Joshua Ministries joined in thanksgiving for the impact of God’s servant and the testimonies that continue to emerge through faith in Jesus Christ.
As the congregation lifted their hearts in worship, there was a shared expectation for another divine encounter. The atmosphere was one of thanksgiving, reflection and anticipation, as believers sought God’s face with renewed determination to move closer to their divine destination.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Choir
The SCOAN Choir
The worship session commenced on a refreshing orchestral note as Esther of The SCOAN Sunday School ministered the timeless hymn, “Nearer To Thee.” The melody immediately drew hearts into God’s presence and prepared the congregation for a deeper communion with Heaven.
As worship intensified, voices rose in harmony across the Arena of Liberty. Songs of gratitude, surrender and devotion filled the auditorium, creating an atmosphere charged with faith and expectation.
Worshippers responded with heartfelt praise, lifting their hands and voices in honour of the One who remains the Author and Finisher of faith.
The presence of God became evident as burdens were lifted and hearts were strengthened. For many, worship became more than a song—it became an encounter with the Living God, whose mercy endures forever.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Testimonies (May 31, 2026)
STEPHEN’S LEG RESTORED BY THE ANOINTING
Here is his testimony:
Stephen sustained a serious leg injury after being pierced by an object at his shop.
What initially appeared minor soon developed into severe swelling, accompanied by a strange sensation moving throughout his body.
Despite medical attention and various remedies, his condition continued to deteriorate.
As his health worsened, his business also suffered. During a time of earnest prayer, Stephen’s wife heard the word “SCOAN” and felt led to bring her husband to The Arena of Liberty.
Following prayer by Pastor Evelyn Joshua and continued ministration of the Anointing Water, Stephen experienced a remarkable recovery.
The swelling disappeared completely and his leg returned to normal.
Testifying with gratitude, Stephen declared, “I am completely healed!”
He advised the people: ”Remain thankful to God in every circumstance and trust Him for victory.”
END OF THE ROAD FOR SEVERE WAIST PAIN
Here is his testimony:
Donald battled severe back pain that resisted every medical effort. The persistent condition affected his daily life and left him searching for answers.
Determined to seek God’s intervention, he came to The SCOAN and devoted himself to prayer and meditation on God’s Word.
During the 2-Day SCOAN Revival Meeting at the Faith Resort Ground, an evangelist ministered prayer to him in the name of Jesus Christ.
From that moment, Donald received his healing. The crippling pain disappeared and he regained full fitness.
Giving glory to God, he declared, “God has set me free.”
He advised the people: ”keep your focus on God regardless of your challenges.”
RAGE OF FAMILY IDOL CONTAINED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
Here is her testimony:
Ufuoma grew up in a family devoted to idol worship and became entangled in practices introduced by her father.
Strange experiences followed her through life, including repeated academic setbacks, troubling dreams and persistent health challenges.
Her marriage also came under pressure as conflict became a recurring feature of family life. When the situation became unbearable, she brought her case before God at The SCOAN.
On May 31, 2026, she received deliverance during prayer by an evangelist. Testifying alongside her husband, she shared how God had restored peace to her life.
Her husband confirmed the transformation, thanking God for restoring harmony to their home.
He advised the people: “Have faith in God.”
ANGEL UNDERGOES DIVINE SURGERY
Friday stood before the congregation to testify to God’s remarkable intervention in the life of his daughter,
Here is their testimony:
Angel, whose prolonged battle with a mysterious stomach condition had brought years of pain, uncertainty and emotional strain upon the family.
According to Friday, Angel’s ordeal began with persistent stomach pain that refused to go away despite repeated medical consultations.
Determined to find a solution, the family moved from one hospital to another in search of answers.
Initially, doctors diagnosed her with malaria and prescribed various medications, but her condition remained unchanged.
On another occasion, medical examinations revealed no obvious cause for the pain, leaving the family confused and frustrated.
As the condition persisted, further investigations led to a diagnosis of a ruptured appendix.
Angel subsequently underwent surgery, and the family hoped the operation would finally bring relief.
However, just two months later, the pain returned with the same intensity, shattering their hopes of recovery.
The family’s search for a solution continued. Angel was referred to another hospital, where doctors discovered a twisted intestine accompanied by acute inflammation of the pancreas.
Once again, surgery was recommended. Although Friday struggled financially, he did everything within his power to raise the funds required for the procedure.
A Turning Point
The operation was carried out successfully, but to the family’s dismay, the problem resurfaced yet again.
As the burden grew heavier, Friday’s sister repeatedly advised him to bring Angel to The SCOAN.
Convinced that medical treatment would eventually solve the problem, he initially ignored the suggestion.
However, after exhausting every avenue and watching his daughter continue to suffer, he began to realise that the situation required divine intervention.
In desperation, he sought help elsewhere and even took Angel to the same spiritualist twice in Benin.
Although there appeared to be temporary improvement, the pain soon returned.
It was at that point that Friday remembered his sister’s counsel and resolved to seek God’s face at The Synagogue, Church of All Nations.
One Sunday morning, he prepared to bring Angel to church. Having endured years of disappointment and emotional exhaustion, his wife was reluctant to accompany them.
Nevertheless, Friday pressed on in faith, believing that Jesus Christ had the final say.
Angel’s Moment Of Divine Healing
At The SCOAN Prayer Line, Angel received prayer from Pastor Evelyn Joshua.
As the woman of God ministered under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, God’s power located the young girl and touched her life.
From that day, everything changed. Testifying on Sunday, June 7, 2026, Friday declared with gratitude: “Since September 29, 2024, when Pastor Evelyn Joshua prayed for my daughter, I have not taken her to any hospital.”
To the glory of God, Angel has remained healthy, active and completely free from the stomach condition that once threatened her wellbeing.
What years of medical procedures, treatments and consultations could not accomplish, Jesus Christ settled by His mercy and power.
Filled with gratitude, Friday also acknowledged that through his daughter’s healing he had come to appreciate even more deeply the reality of God’s power at work in The SCOAN.
Mrs Friday’s Deliverance Testimony
Mrs Friday also shared her testimony of deliverance from a spiritual affliction that had negatively influenced many aspects of her life in the past.
Looking back, she thanked God for setting her free and giving her a fresh beginning.
She recalled the difficulties she encountered before conceiving Angel, explaining that the challenges were linked to issues that had affected her family for many years.
Today, she gives all glory to God for breaking every barrier and blessing her with motherhood.
In addition, she testified that before her deliverance, she frequently experienced disturbing dreams involving snakes hatching eggs.
Since receiving God’s touch, however, she has entered a new season marked by peace, joy and a closer relationship with Christ.
With tears of gratitude, she praised God not only for her own deliverance but also for the healing of Angel, whose prolonged illness had brought enormous emotional and financial pressure upon the family.
Reflecting on their journey, Mrs Friday declared that God had transformed their story from one of pain, fear and uncertainty into one of hope, restoration and victory.
He advised the people: “Never give up, regardless of how hopeless your situations may appear, but to continue trusting in God, who alone has the final answer.”
HOT WATER BURNS REVERSED BY PRAYER
Here is his testimony:
Michael received a distressing call that his young son had suffered severe burns from hot water. Despite hospital treatment, the child’s condition showed little improvement.
Driven by faith, Michael brought his son to The SCOAN. During prayer by Pastor Evelyn Joshua, the boy received a touch from Heaven.
To the glory of God, the child recovered fully. Michael and his wife returned to testify to His goodness.
His parents advised the people: “Maintain unwavering faith in God during difficult times.”
SCOAN Sunday Service: Refuse To Be Distracted
LISTEN TO THE SERMON TITLED: Refuse To Be Distracted
Evangelist Ope delivered a powerful message titled, “Refuse To Be Distracted.”
He began by describing distraction as one of satan’s greatest weapons against believers. According to him, the devil understands that before he can defeat a person, he must first divert that person’s attention from their God-given purpose.
Taking his text from Luke 9:62, Proverbs 4:25, Matthew 14:30, Hebrews 12:2, Mark 4:18-19, Matthew 13:22, Colossians 3:2 and Philippians 3:13-14.
“Anything that takes your attention away from your vision and purpose in life is a distraction,” he declared.
The evangelist noted that modern society is saturated with distractions. Whether through success, criticism, offence, conflict, fear or comparison, satan continually seeks opportunities to derail believers from their divine assignments.
Quoting 2 Corinthians 2:11, he reminded the church not to be ignorant of satan’s devices. He stressed that distraction is a subtle scheme of manipulation. If satan can distract a person, he can manipulate that person. If he can manipulate a person, he can defeat that person.
Staying Focused On Divine Assignment
Evangelist Ope explained that many people fail not because they lack talent, intelligence or vision, but because they lose focus along the journey. Dreams remain unrealised when attention is diverted from purpose.
Drawing lessons from Nehemiah’s determination while rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls, he explained that distraction is the enemy of completion. Just as Nehemiah refused to be diverted by his adversaries, believers must remain steadfast until God’s assignment is fulfilled.
He further taught that attention is a valuable currency. Whatever receives a person’s attention ultimately shapes that person’s character and destiny. “Distraction is powerless without attention,” he stated. “You are responsible for what you give your attention to.”
The evangelist distinguished between attraction and distraction, explaining that not every attraction is harmful. Some attractions propel believers towards their God-given purpose, while others pull them away from it.
Concluding the message, he encouraged worshippers to learn the discipline of saying “No” to distractions and “Yes” to God’s purpose. True focus, he said, involves both choosing the right things and rejecting the wrong ones.
SCOAN Sunday Service: Pastor Evelyn Joshua
Addressing the congregation before the Prayer Line ministration, Pastor Evelyn Joshua led the people in a heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving and consecration, encouraging them to draw closer to God with sincere hearts and unwavering faith.
“Father Lord, we give You all the thanks, all the praise. We thank You for the confidence to approach Your throne of mercy. Almighty God, we ask that You give us a heart like Yours. Fill us with Your strength and power and take us from where we are to where You want us to be, in the name of Jesus Christ!
“Father Lord, we know that many plans crash on the rock of temptation and trouble. Father Lord, we ask You to deliver us from every evil and set our hearts to seek You, know You in everything, in the name of Jesus Christ!”
The woman of God also expressed gratitude to God for the testimonies shared during the service, acknowledging His faithfulness in the lives of His people. She further appreciated Emmanuel TV Partners, viewers and friends of the ministry for their unwavering support throughout the activities of the previous week, particularly the two-day Revival Meeting and the events marking the fifth anniversary of Prophet T.B. Joshua’s transition to glory.
Praying for God’s continued favour upon the congregation, Pastor Evelyn Joshua declared: “You will be honoured as you go out and come in, in the name of Jesus.” Her words further strengthened the faith of the worshippers as they prepared their hearts to receive from God during the Prayer Line ministration.
The SCOAN Sunday Service: Prayerline Session (June 07, 2026)
Pastor Evelyn Joshua At The Prayerline
Pastor Evelyn Joshua led the evangelist to the Prayer Line, where the sick, the afflicted and those battling generational yokes regained freedom from captivity.
People from different nations and backgrounds who came seeking God’s intervention in their situations received answers to their prayers, in the mighty name of Jesus. Among them were those suffering from difficulty in walking, piles, severe waist pain, bipolar disorder, gastritis, diabetes, hypertension, cataracts, severe cough, partial stroke and many other conditions that had resisted human solutions.
Moving under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Evelyn Joshua ministered prayer to the people, speaking words of healing, deliverance and restoration, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. As she laid hands on the afflicted, the power of God moved mightily, bringing hope to the hopeless and strength to the weary.
The SCOAN Evangelists
The SCOAN Evangelists also joined the woman of God in ministering prayers of healing, deliverance and breakthrough. Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, they moved among the people, commanding sickness, affliction and every contrary spirit to leave, in the name of Jesus Christ.
As prayers continued, many visibly responded to the touch of God. Some received strength in weakened limbs, while others experienced relief from longstanding pain and discomfort. Cases that had defied medical explanations were brought before the Great Physician, Jesus Christ, whose healing power knows no limitation.
Expectant mothers were not left out of Heaven’s visitation. They received prayer and prophetic declarations for safe delivery and healthy children, as Pastor Evelyn Joshua committed both mothers and unborn babies into God’s hands.
One-on-One Prayer Ministration
The atmosphere throughout the Arena of Liberty was saturated with faith and expectation as worshippers connected with the ministration through prayer and belief in God’s Word. Indeed, it was another powerful reminder that Jesus Christ did not say goodbye.
As the Prayer Line ministration progressed, the words of Prophet T.B. Joshua echoed in the hearts of the people: “Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, with faith in God’s Word, shall be saved.” The atmosphere resonated with gratitude, expectation and assurance that God had once again visited His people.
SCOAN Sunday Service Mass Prayer (June 07, 2026)
When it was time for the Mass Prayer, the atmosphere became charged with faith as worshippers prepared to receive from Heaven.
Evangelist Joseph urged the congregation to open their hearts before God and prayed: “Holy Spirit, Spirit of freedom, Spirit of healing, Spirit of deliverance, You are welcome into my heart.
SCOAN Sunday Service: The SCOAN Evangelists
“All familiar spirits, demonic spirits, anywhere you are—Holy Ghost Fire! Anywhere you are, you demon, we command you: Out! All demons, messengers of satan, we declare you wanted. Spirit of witchcraft—Holy Ghost Fire!”
Evangelist Chisom prayed: “That spirit operating in you, knowingly or unknowingly—spirit of killing—command them out! You spirit operating in my life, causing me trouble, I command you: Out, in the name of Jesus!”
Evangelist Ope declared: “Every garment of sickness, infirmity—we command you: Out! You spirit operating in my life, causing me nightmares, disappointment, I command you, in the name of Jesus: Out!”
Evangelist James charged the congregation: “Every unclean spirit challenging my life, my progress, my business, I command you: Out! Command them out, in the name of Jesus! Holy Ghost Fire!”
Pastor Evelyn Joshua
Pastor Evelyn Joshua then led the people in prayer: “Continue to break loose from every wall that satan might have used to connect you to himself. Put a demand on the anointing—anointing to receive! Every wall of sickness, affliction, poverty—break loose, in the name of Jesus!”
Prophet TB Joshua
In a Mass Prayer video, Prophet T.B. Joshua reinforced the declarations: “I say to you, be released! Whatever means people must have used to cage and attack you, be released, in the name of Jesus! Be it your business, be released, in the name of Jesus! Leave my people, in the name of Jesus! The right hand of God is power; I release you, in the name of Jesus! Whatever chain used to connect you to crisis, hardship, nightmare, infirmity, begin to break those chains and be released!”
SCOAN Sunday Service: The Grace
Pastor Evelyn Joshua declared the Grace in fellowship, assuring the people of God’s blessings upon their lives and reminding them to draw close to Him. Worshippers departed the Arena of Liberty strengthened in faith and renewed in purpose. The message of the day echoed in their hearts: refuse every distraction and remain focused on God’s calling.
