SCOAN Anointing Water

The SCOAN Choir began on a note of brokenness, asking the Lord to fill theirs and the people’s emptiness with His love, joy and peace to a point of overflow. They also asked the Son of David to have mercy on them and the congregants, even as they called for His unceasing favour. Once the Choir finished welcoming the Holy Spirit into “The Arena of Liberty”, worshippers began to witness God’s power ministering to their diverse situations.   In a very frank message titled FAITH OR BELIEF MEANS TRUST , Prophet TB Joshua addressed four key questions about faith. First, he asked, “How do we live out our faith?” For answer, he quoted Hebrews 11:1 and explained that living out our faith means keeping the focus on God no matter our situation or challenges, believing that He is working out the answer. Second, he asked, “What is faith?” He answered by noting that faith is about being able to make heart contact with God, not about outward show that comes from mere sense experience. In other words,

On Sunday, The SCOAN Choir gave an especially inspired, energetic praise and worship session that saw many falling under the anointing available at ‘The Arena of Liberty.’ From song to song, including the iconic “Rain Your Power Over Me” and “Holy Spirit Take More of Me” , the choir struck the right chords with the Heavenly Host and set congregants in tune with the heavenly frequency. Prophet T.B. Joshua exhorted the church on the need to make heart contact with God when making requests of Him. He once again stressed the importance of offering “life-saving and life-changing prayer” that is addressed to the Son of David, Jesus Christ. He taught the congregants to pray sincerely thus: “Son of David, have mercy on me. Let Your mercy speak for me. Let Your favour speak for me.” However, he also insisted that breakthrough can only come when a person has “a heart that is full of love, forgiveness, pardon, faithfulness, obedience and humility,” which he prayed God to give the congregants. In

After inviting the Holy Ghost to dwell in ‘The Arena of Liberty’, The SCOAN Choir asked for mercy from the Son of David – Jesus Christ – who heals, delivers and saves. Thereafter, they thanked Jesus for His love, the life He gave and for every moment of His attention. While they sang, the Spirit of God suffused the arena and the congregants were encouraged to open their hearts in readiness for the day’s ministration.  Prophet T.B. Joshua began his ministration by thanking the people for praying and fasting with him for the last seven days, since the “Africa Unite” video went viral, touching the hearts of millions and moving nations into action against the rising spate of xenophobic attacks on the continent. He said, “what happens to any African happens to all Africans,” even as he reiterated his call for the continent’s unity. As he began the prayer session, Prophet T.B. Joshua said it was important for people to open their hearts to receive from God, exercising faith based not only on

The SCOAN Choir dished out many songs from their rich repertoire, many of them composed by Prophet TB Joshua. It appeared, however, that one song stood out in more ways than one, causing congregants to dance ecstatically for the Lord like King David did in 2 Samuel 6 and causing Prophet TB Joshua to request encores of it when he got on The SCOAN Altar. It was a song in praise of “Chukwu Nna, meaning ‘God of the Heavens’ in Nigeria’s southeastern language of Igbo. Even without understanding the lyrics, people of diverse races and tongues swayed to its pulsating rhythm and melody as the Spirit of the Lord saturated ‘The Arena of Liberty’. Prophet TB Joshua began his ministration with a prophetic word for congregants: “What you have been going through will soon be a memory; it will be part of your history.” He told worshippers that their future was being fashioned by God and that they should be ready to share their testimony about the present, when that future arrived. He assured them tha

The SCOAN Sunday Service took off with inspired singing ministration as The SCOAN Choir sang about the need for believers to let go of their worries and continue to trust in God. Whatever the believers’ trials, they assured, always it is well with our soul. As they called for the glory of the Lord to fill The SCOAN, congregants began to fall under the anointing, paving the way for more signs and wonders as the service progressed.   In his message, Prophet T.B. Joshua read from Matthew 19:19 before going into the prayer and prophecy session. With the Bible reference, the Man of God stressed the need to obey God’s commandment on loving our neighbour. He admonished the congregants to love their neighbours unconditionally, including those who fail to return such love, and regardless of their religious, professional, social, racial and ideological backgrounds. “It is not possible to love God without loving your neighbour,” he insisted. Finally, he said that our love for God is proven only w

“Draw my heart, oh Holy Spirit, that I may love You more and more. Draw my heart, oh Holy Spirit, that I may know You more and more. Draw my heart, oh Holy Spirit, that I may do what is holy.” Our hearts were drawn closer to the Spirit of God more and more as the words of this anointed song, composed by Prophet T.B. Joshua, rose from the lips of The SCOAN Congregation and Emmanuel TV Viewers. As they joined together from around the world, honouring God and surrendering all to Him, the Spirit of God fell afresh and chains of bondage were disconnected, evil spirits manifested and were cast out and the seed of sickness and disease was flushed out. In this anointed atmosphere, Prophetess Yinka took to the altar and delivered an encouraging message titled, “YOUR SETBACK IS FOR A COMEBACK” . After identifying two categories of people – those who choose to wallow in self-pity when facing hard times and those who choose not to be overwhelmed by their trials and setbacks – she likened our chall

Oluranlowo mi! My Helper! So sang The SCOAN Choir as one of their numbers for the highly impactful Sunday Service. In an echo of God’s Word in Jeremiah 32:27 – Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me? – the lyrics of the song stressed total dependence on the power of The Almighty as the people prepared to receive salvation, healing, deliverance and breakthrough. Prophet Racine spoke on THE PRAYER OF FAITH , as he explained the place of scriptural prayer in our attempt to make heart contact with God. He said, “Prayer is not saying words but praying the prayer,” while realizing that there “is an inseparable union between the Word and Spirit.” With bits of Scripture such as Acts 3:46, Mark 9, 2 Corinthians 4:13 and Acts 19 he showed the importance of “using the name of Jesus Christ in love and faith” so that we can receive whatever we ask. He said that knowing the will of God requires knowing the Word of God. In closing, he noted, “The extent to whi

 It was a feisty singing session on Sunday as The SCOAN Choir gave a virtuoso performance that got worshippers dancing with holy abandon, swaying to a medley of worship songs with inspired rhythms, melodies and lyrics. Prophet T.B. Joshua was in a very expansive mood when he joined the congregation on Sunday. He delivered a message titled FORGIVENESS IS NOT AN OPTION. Reading from Matthew 18:21-22 and Colossians 3:13-14, he exhorted the people yet again on the need to let go of offence. He stressed that it was important to identify the barriers between oneself and God. He also said that it was necessary to maintain the essentials of life set on the believer’s table by properly handling the matter of whom we have offended and who has offended us. Forgiveness, he insisted, is the source to the freedom that God desires for us, regardless of whether we are the offender or the offended. He noted that God simply commands us to forgive and that “Forgiveness is not an option,” he concluded. Af
