From touching family reconciliations, shocking satanic confessions to remarkable healing testimonies and the demonstration of God’s mighty Power – congregants at The SCOAN and the viewers of Emmanuel TV witnessed it all. Jesus Christ is truly the same yesterday, today and forever and He is still working wonders through suitable men.
Speaking about God’s Power, the account of this months events would not be complete without the mention of the three newly anointed and appointed servants of God who have recently joined T.B. Joshua in demonstrating the mighty Power of God in the Sunday services. Confirming the genuineness of the anointing upon their lives, many have testified to have been set free from their bondages after receiving prayer from these three mighty vessels, while many more have confirmed the accurate prophecies spoken through them as being true and correct. Having received ‘offices from above,’ these men were seen operating in the areas of prophecy, healing and deliverance at the same level as The Man In The Synagogue, T.B. Joshua. Many were left asking the question “Is it possible?” and “Has God used T.B. Joshua to reproduce men of God like him?” Seeing was definitely believing and many viewed what is happening in this ministry as comparable to the transfer of anointing which took place between Elijah and Elisha in the biblical era. As T.B. Joshua says, “The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of Power. The Word and the Power must go together. Not only must we have God’s Word in order to be a pastor or a bishop – we must have God’s Spirit.” Giving the congregation a hint of what is to come, the Prophet mentioned that around the time of his birthday that more will be added to their number, stating that this would be his Birthday gift from God. For now, the Prophet said, they will be known as, “The three wise men”.
In an enlightening message titled, ‘The Name Of Jesus Has Power’ drawn from the scripture in Mark 9 detailing the account of the father of the demon possessed boy and his encounter with Jesus, Prophet T.B. Joshua explained, “There is Power in the name of Jesus indeed, but only among those who are committed to the glory of God.” He spoke of the need to have absolute trust in God, stating that some measure of trust would only enable us to do some works in Christ, not all. Speaking on the purpose of God’s Power and its incredible effects on a person’s life, T.B. Joshua said, “One of the reasons God gives us His Power is to confirm that what we are speaking is from Him…Once the supernatural Power of God comes upon you, then something is going to happen to you that cannot be explained by the human mind.”
Deliverance From The Occult
In one particular Sunday service, while giving prophetic messages to individuals in the service, the man of God said that there was a witchdoctor in the congregation who brought charms to The SCOAN. He added that the most powerful charm was still inside his house in the form of a white pot and a pigeon and that someone was appearing to the man physically threatening to kill him. Shocked at the accuracy of the prophecy, the witchdoctor who the prophecy concerned came out to confirm the message to be true and confessed that he was too scared to carry the most dangerous charms he owned that were still in his house. Startled by the level of prophetic revelation, the congregation and viewers watched in amazement as the witchdoctor came forward and quickly fetched the occultic items that he had hidden outside on the church premises among flowers.
A few days later, the Emmanuel TV Team followed the witchdoctor, Mr Segun Maku to his home with instructions from Prophet T.B. Joshua which included the administration of the Anointing Water with the sole intention of bringing the remaining charms to The SCOAN. Mr Maku applied the Anointing water in the name of Jesus before he was able to collect the white pot and demonized pigeon which he had been using to send on missions to kill and destroy at his customers’ request. He returned safely to The SCOAN with his deadly charms together with his wife and children.
At the service the following Sunday, Maku described his devious dealings with occultism and brought out his most lethal charms. Maku appealed to T.B. Joshua that he wanted to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and personal Saviour. In response, Prophet T.B. Joshua delivered Mr Maku and the demonized pigeon by the Power of God and declared them free.
Mr Anthony Nwaemeka from Anambra State, Nigeria had been given a prophetic message the previous week and was also escorted by members of the Emmanuel TV Team to his home to collect a charm which T.B. Joshua described as having a ‘stupid power’. Video footage was played of when Mr Nwaemeka went to collect his charm. As he sprayed the Anointing Water for on the charm itself, (which he explained had been prepared using a human tongue and a premature baby), thick smoke oozed out of the charm. He explained that this was the spirit coming out. He too was delivered from the occultic world. Two big fishes taken out of the kingdom of darkness and into the Kingdom of light - Glory be to Jesus Christ!
“Stand Up!”- Miraculous Healing
Unforgettable was the spectacular demonstration of God’s Power in the life of Mr Cuthbert Elkana Dube of Zimbabwe - a man holding twenty-two positions including Group Chief Executive Officer Of Premier Service Medical Aid Society, Chairman of West End Hospital, Chairman of Premier Banking Corporation and President of Zimbabwe Football Association to name a few. He had come to The SCOAN in a wheelchair, unable to walk due to a severe spinal cord problem. Prophet T.B. Joshua called on Mr Dube’s wife to come forward to administer the Anointing Water (for salvation, healing and deliverance). He instructed her to spray it into his mouth, on his head, to the back of his neck and down his spine. T.B. Joshua then instructed the man to, “Stand up!” and at that word, Mr Dube rose to his feet. The auditorium exploded into praise and worship in thanks to God for His mighty deeds as Mr Dube walked freely from the wheelchair.
Touching reconciliations also took place among many families including the families of Mr Opuuh, Mrs Mariam Bakori, Pere Johnson, Mrs Ijeoma, Mrs Blessing and Pastor Paul Okoto and a host of others.
Full of practical lessons for life, faith-building experiences, words of wisdom and the raw, real Power of God, both the thousands of congregants at The SCOAN and the multitudes of viewers on Emmanuel TV would agree unanimously following these extraordinary events that Jesus is truly the same yesterday, today and forever!
