What is glorification?

WHAT IS JUSTIFICATION ?

"What is justification?"

Answer:
Simply put, to justify is to declare righteous, to make one right with God. Justification is God’s declaring those who receive Christ to be righteous, based on Christ’s righteousness being imputed to the accounts of those who receive Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). Though justification as a principle is found throughout Scripture, the main passage describing justification in relation to believers is Romans 3:21-26: “But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.”

Mali-trained Terrorists in Nigeria – Army chief

Mali-trained Terrorists in Nigeria – Army chief
**we have taken the battle to them.

In spite of the Boko Haram insurgency in the country, Nigerian security agencies now have a fresh challenge to contend with.

The new task, according to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Azubike Ihejirika, is the presence of suspected terrorists believed to have been trained by Malian rebels, in Nigeria.

Boko Haram terrorists, like the Malian Islamist rebels, have for years held the Northern part of Nigeria by the jugular, killing and maiming people, especially Christians in their quest to Islamise Nigeria.

Ihejirika however, told journalists at the Nigerian Army Peacekeeping Centre (NAPKC), Jaji, Kaduna State on Thursday, that internal security was being intensified to track them down.

“We are aware that most of the terrorists in this country today were trained in Mali.

“We are also aware that as of yesterday, there was still an influx of some chaps trained in Mali into the country,” he said, shortly after the first batch of Nigerian troops to the African- led International Support Mission to Mali departed the country(Nigeria).

Ihejirika added that Nigeria and its immediate neighbours were already enhancing their internal security strategies as their troops began participating in the peace- keeping operation in Mali.

He said, “Nigeria will not only be supporting the resolution of the international community, but also enhancing its own security and that of its immediate neighbours by undertaking this operation.

“What we are going into could be described as peace enforcement; that is to bring peace with the use of force. And as to whether the operation will be conventional or insurgent, the troops should have a mixture of both because of the characters of the rebels.” - punch news.

WORK OF FAITH PART 4

WORKS OF FAITH – PART 4 Image As millions around the world came to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, His healing, delivering and saving power was at work through His Spirit and manifest in the Live Services at The SCOAN. It was a Christmas weekend at The SCOAN to be remembered. Jesus Christ, who came to reconcile man to Himself, reconciled many from the bondages of sicknesses, diseases and demonic oppression through the prayer of the Wise Men in The SCOAN Prayer Line. Jesus Christ, who was revealed this season as the light of the world, shone His light into the lives of many who were in darkness, through prophetic messages given by Prophet T.B. Joshua and the ministry of laying on of hands by the five Wise Men. Truly, Jesus Christ came that we might come to a place of resurrection in our being. Celebrations of His resurrection power continued as the man of God delivered a powerful message titled, Works Of Faith, Part 4. Prophet T.B. Joshua took the proof text of the message from Galatians 5:1-4, 18-19. Paul gave us a very graphic picture of the senses and the spirit. Senses are all physical doors leading to the brain. This human body of ours is the laboratory where we learnt all we know of secular knowledge (gifts, talents, etc). The battle that we fight in our daily walk is with our senses. To conquer, our spirit must govern our senses. He explained that many are confessing faith in the Word yet denying it in action, trying to believe yet never acting on the Word. Our mind cannot be renewed by studying the Word alone. As our blood and our muscles are a part of us, so also the Word must become an integral part of us. The Psalmist said in Psalm 27:13 that he would have lost heart if he did not believe he would live to see the glory of the Lord. If you cannot believe that you will see the goodness of God, you will despair. The thing that keeps us from despairing is not what we see but what we believe. To conclude the message, the prophet stated, “We trust implicitly in the Word because we know God on His throne is backing up every Word. This gives us a quiet and restful confidence”. Countless testimonies had been restored and the owners of the testimonies came back to share the good things God Almighty had done for them to strengthen the faith of all who had open hearts. The following summarizes just a few of them. Image DR CHRIS NATH: BUSINESSS AND CAREER FAILURES TURNED AROUND THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF THE ANOINTING WATER An environmentalist, he had come to The SCOAN in 2010 and was privileged to receive the Anointing Water. Prior to that time, a contract he had been awarded from one of the major oil companies in Nigeria had been revoked. He read Matthew 16:19, prayed for God to open the door of breakthrough in his life and ministered the Anointing Water. A week later, the contract was renewed and the contract sum he received was 35% higher than previously offered. He was also appointed a representative for ETP-STP and completed a four-flat duplex. On top of those blessings, he was also able to complete a PhD programme he had been struggling for 12 years to finish. He advised people to have strong faith in God in order to receive a strong answer from God. Image MR AND MRS TONY IFEAGBU: THEIR CHILD WAS SAVED FROM IRREGULAR BREATHING THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER Mrs Ifeagbu had delivered her child through a caesarean section operation but the real trouble began when doctors realized that the child could not breathe properly and therefore, had to be placed on oxygen. The fears regarding the survival of the child were immense until the husband’s younger brother decided to introduce the Anointing Water into the matter. The family had ministered it after praying and the child’s breathing was instantaneously restored! Even the doctors, who had earlier asked the family to pray on the issue for fear of what may happen to the child, marvelled at the news of the child’s recovery. Standing proudly before the congregation with his handsome son and wife by his side, Mr Tony Ifeagbu advised that no matter what people were going through, they should hold onto God and never neglect the Anointing Water in their affairs. Image KEN EMEAKAYI: A NIGERIAN POLITICIAN DELIVERED FROM KIDNAPPERS THROUGH THE ANOINTING WATER He is a popular politician from Anambra, Nigeria who equally acknowledges himself as a “controversial politician”. Before June 2012, he was not one who believed in The SCOAN, the miracles which occurred in the church or the prophecies of Prophet T.B. Joshua. But on June 3, 2012, as he was driving in his car, he fell into the hands of hired kidnappers who had the aim of abducting and killing him. They took him to their den and waited for confirmation from their boss as to when to eliminate him. Mr Emeakayi was kept on the bare floor and had no water or food. He had even appealed to the kidnappAers, stating that he was ready to pay twice the amount of the ransom but the boys had refused. Despite his state of unease and confusion, he later fell asleep. In his dream, he saw the bottle of Anointing Water his friend had previously given, placed carelessly in his bedroom. He heard a voice telling him to spray it on himself and pray that the blood of Jesus should work in his life. The dream repeated itself three times within a 25 minute period. When he woke up, the leader of the kidnappers arrived and instructed his men to give the politician new clothes, sandals, transport fare and drop him in a location where he can find transport to take him home. A few moments later, he found that he was free – released from the hand of hired killers through prayer with the Anointing Water! Though a doubting Thomas previously, he was grateful to God for his miraculous escape. He advised that people should always trust in God because of what He did in his life, though he was undeserving of God’s mercy. He said God used this ministry and the Anointing Water to save him and that he is a testimony to Nigeria and the world that what is happening at The SCOAN is real and not fabricated. The state chairman of the ruling political party in Anambra also resolved to share many bottles of the Anointing Water with fellow politicians in his state. Image ENGINEER GODDEY GABRIEL: DELIVERED FROM ACUTE POVERTY THROUGH ANOINTING WATER He was a contractor who could not get a single job for six years. He was full of poverty and disappointment. He had been sponsored by his wife to come to The SCOAN where he was privileged to receive a bottle of the Anointing Water, with which he had been praying. Heavy contracts had since started coming into his hands. He said, “Contracts have started looking for me”. Every morning, he would spray the Anointing Water into his mouth and pray. He brought an LPO of a multi-million naira contract to show the congregation along with photographs of a new Peugeot 406 car, a new set of trucks and a house he is now building. He said people should believe and trust in God because He is always ready to help those who believe in Him even in adversity. Image VICTORIA OKOTOROUH: HER DAUGHTER IN UK SECURED CITIZENSHIP 3 DAYS AFTER MINISTERING THE ANOINTING WATER Originating from Delta, Nigeria, she travelled to the United Kingdom, where she got married and sent her daughter to school. However, she had struggled hard for citizenship in that country without success for a long time. She came to The SCOAN, received the Anointing Water and immediately sent it to her daughter. Interestingly, three days after her daughter had received the Anointing Water in the UK, she called with the wonderful news that Mrs Victoria had been granted the citizenship that very day, saying that the courier had delivered it to her doorstep that morning. According to Mrs Victoria, people should have faith in God because He answers prayers. Image ZHAO: REIMBURSED BY HER DEBTORS AFTER MINISTERING THE ANOINTING WATER She was a Chinese businesswoman and had come to The SCOAN on discovering that the fortunes of her business were dwindling due to unpaid debts by her numerous customers. She had succeeded in receiving the Anointing Water which she took to China. After prayed over her matter with the Anointing Water, she discovered that her customers suddenly developed a change of heart. Some of them paid her off completely and others began paying their debt to her in instalments. She, full of happiness visibly expressed in the church on Sunday, said that all people must rely on God to have their problems solved. Image IKENNA NNEBOR: RECONCILED WITH SON THROUGH PROPHECY A video was replayed showing Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesying to Mr Nnebor that a child was crying, asking for his father. He had gone back to his hotel that day after the church service to ruminate over the prophecy. That night, he had had a dream in which he saw Prophet T.B. Joshua give him bread and pull him out of a pool of water. When he woke up, he remembered that he had once had a girlfriend in his village years back whom he had slept with “just once”. The girl become pregnant. Even after he was informed of the development by his brother, he refused to identify with the truth. Image The child was born and the lady married another man but the child stayed with the grandmother. Mr Nnebor returned to the village to meet with the family and bring them to The SCOAN for reconciliation. After some resistance, the grandmother agreed to come with the child to honour the Word of God spoken through Prophet T.B. Joshua. During the course of the service, God’s ministry of reconciliation brought forgiveness and unity to the family and Mr Nnebor gave thanks to God for restoring meaning to his life. Image FIBRESIMA TARIBO AND FAMILY: RECONCILIATION MADE POSSIBLE IN CHURCH AFTER WRONGFUL ACCUSATION OF WITCHCRAFT A video was replayed showing a man receiving a prophecy from Prophet T.B. Joshua during a previous service to the effect that a woman was being wrongly accused in the family of being a witch because of the death of another man. During the Sunday service, the man came with some of his family members and representatives of the community. Kenneth, a son to the woman accused, spoke on behalf of the family. His four children had each died mysteriously yet neither his mother nor uncle (Fibresima) visited him to console him. This was not the only reason he had accused his mother of being a witch. She had initially protested his marriage, arguing that his wife was too old for him and must be abandoned. His wife then insulted his mother, a crime the mother refused to forgive. Prophet Joshua resolved the matter by stating that while the mother was involved in fetish practices, she was not a witch. He said that perhaps the Gospel had not been preached to her with power but believed that God would reveal Himself to her as the God that rescues and delivers. He then prayed with the family for reconciliation and peace, in Jesus’ name. Image MR AND MRS PETER AND PORTIA ENEANYA: DELIVERED FROM AN EVIL SPIRIT AND RECONCILED A video was replayed showing Prophet Joshua prophesying to a lady, asking where her husband was. He had told the husband that what he originally saw in the woman had faded because there was a man between them destroying their marriage. Mrs Portia Eneanya said she decided to come to The SCOAN because of her troubled marriage. She had experienced a spiritual husband from her youth after her grandfather had initiated her through native doctors. She said she had dreamt often of entering the water and turning into a crocodile and stated that she had no affection for her husband. She said she could not kiss him and that her spirit always controlled him on what to do. After her deliverance, the spiritual husband and spirit of crocodile left her and for the first time ever, she hugged her kids and kissed her husband. She said she had previously seen them as “things”. Prophet T.B. Joshua asked her what happened to her when Wise Man John Chi touched her and she said she felt something like an electric shock and that she didn’t know where she was at that time. She said all she saw was darkness and then a ray of light. Now, she is grateful to be free. Image MRS CHIDIEBERE OKAFOR: DELIVERED FROM EVIL SPIRITS AND RECONCILED WITH FAMILY A video was replayed showing a woman through whom a spirit spoke, saying it was the queen of the coast. It said it had committed many atrocities through the woman, that she flew at night and had tormented her husband until he sent her out of the house. Mrs Chidiebere Okafor, from Enugu, Nigeria, was in church with members of her family. She said she used to see herself as a queen in her dreams and occasionally in a river. She had visited many places in search of solution without success and had decided to come to The SCOAN. She said that she did not experience peace in her marital home, that with her evil powers she had cursed her sister-in-law and the latter’s marriage to her husband in the USA had crashed. Mrs Okafor became increasingly aggressive towards everyone and had once beaten her mother-in-law almost to the point of death before seizing her feet and dragging her along the floor. Pastors asked to deliver her in the past had to run away after finding themselves unable to do so. While trying to escape from her house when pursuers came for retribution, she suffered a dislocated ankle and a jagged wound on her foot as she jumped over the barbed wire fence. Prophet T.B. Joshua declared that he would meet with the family members now that Mrs Chidiebere was delivered, to discuss their future peace. The SCOAN Live Sunday Service ended with a million thanks to Jesus Christ, our Mediator, our Saviour, our Restorer, our Repairer, our Hope – the anchor of our souls. As we continue to celebrate His birth this season, let us emulate Christ in our actions, thoughts and utterances. Let us act love, do love and let love lead – for Love was born at Christmas!

FARMING: AN OCCUPATION OF DESTINY
Joshua Terfa-Ufena
Joshua Terfa-Ufena
Joshua Terfa-Ufena, a farmer from Benue State, Nigeria had suffered low productivity for about five years because his land was infertile. He almost gave up as a farmer because of business failure. For two years, he could not boast of even 50 tubers of yam on his farm. When he started watching Emmanuel TV, he saw miracles in the lives of others and decided to come to The SCOAN. He was privileged to receive The Anointing Water which he prayed with and ministered on the farm. That year, he yielded 1,300 tubers of yam. Due to the massive harvest of yams, he had to move to a bigger piece of land and he also ministered the Anointing Water on the new land. In no time at all, the land yielded a whopping 2,700 tubers of yam, which were extraordinarily large. His advice was that people should never give up and that God will always provide for them if they have faith, especially farmers to whom Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied that in 2013, they would succeed beyond their dreams.
FIRST GOD, THEN CIGARETTES…

Justin Onyeamachi had smoked cigarettes for 20 years, finishing between 3-5 packets a day. This had adversely affected his finances and health.  He used his school fees to buy cigarettes when he was in the university. He often told his wife that “After God, was cigarettes”. However, he was advised to come to The SCOAN and receive the Anointing Water. After ministering the Anointing Water, all desire for smoking and drinking completely disappeared. He now lives a life completely free from any addiction to smoking and drinking! He advised heavy smokers to seek the face of God, stressing that it was impossible for them to give up such an addiction in their own strength unless God was involved.
PHONE CALL FAVOUR!
AUGUSTINE AMOBI
Augustine Amobi
Augustine Amobi Olisa, a Delta State born Nigerian had suffered abject poverty since 2000 until 2012 when he was delivered at The SCOAN through the Anointing Water. For those 12 years, his business as a contractor and seller of building materials collapsed and those owing him did not pay. Due to the severity of his condition, he was even being fed by his neighbours.
However, after discovering Emmanuel TV and seeing what had happened in the lives of others, he was moved to come to The SCOAN. In November, 2012, he visited The SCOAN, received the Anointing Water and prayed with it in faith, believing God for business breakthrough. A week later, an old friend whom he had lost contact with for many years, suddenly called and offered him a position as the head of his construction company. Shortly afterwards, he received a brand new truck to use at the company!  He encouraged people to believe that God’s time was the best and people should trust in Him.
I POURED PETROL ON MYSELF…
A video was replayed showing Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesying that there was a man within the
APOSTLE LOTTY
Apostle Muzhira
congregation who had a spirit of suicide and had attempted to kill himself by pouring petrol on himself.  Rushing forward from the congregation, Apostle Muzhira from Zimbabwe, confirmed that he was the one the prophecy referred to, confessing that he had poured fuel on himself. He said he was about to light the match to commit suicide and was saved only when his wife saw him and screamed out. Prophet T.B. Joshua then prayed for him and delivered him from the spirit pushing him to commit suicide.
Two years after the prophecy, Apostle Muzhira returned to The SCOAN to share his life-changing testimony. He explained that he had faced business failure in his taxi-driving company. Having lost all, he experienced severe mental depression and was suicidal. He attempted to use a rope to hang himself but didn’t know how the rope snapped. He also began to overeat and put on a substantial amount of weight. At the lowest point of his life, he poured fuel on himself in an attempt to commit suicide, the incident that Prophet T.B. Joshua had prophesied about.
However, after visiting The SCOAN in 2010, his life has radically transformed! Today, he is running a flourishing business as a marketing officer, his churches have re-emerged with strength and he is again respected in society. He testified that currently, his church is one of the biggest in Harare, Zimbabwe. Ever since his deliverance, all thoughts of suicide have gone, he is no longer depressed and he has regained his former stature and zeal for life. He advised that people should keep watching Emmanuel TV!

A FIGHTING MACHINE
Mr Timi Bestman
Mr Timi Bestman
Mr Timi Bestman explained that right from a young age, there was a spirit within him that pushed him to fight and be involved in bloodshed. He loved to be found in places where violence reigned, especially where people fought dangerously. Even if he got a reputable job, he would end up leaving it and take to fighting. He had charms which prevented bullets and knives from entering him. He also drank heavily, to such an extent that he could go without food for three days as long as he was intoxicated. He had smoked cigarettes for 18 years (3-4 packets daily). He also suffered severe spiritual attacks, waking up at night in cold sweats and screaming aloud.
Although he had heard of Emmanuel TV, Mr Bestman never believed in it and described himself as a ‘Doubting Thomas’. When a friend offered him the Anointing Water, he decided to use it to ‘test the power’ there and see whether it was genuine.  As he ministered it, he felt a strange sensation throughout his body and was forced to sit down. Amazed at this reaction, he decided to visit The SCOAN to seek for deliverance. He was taken to the prayer line where the evil spirit in him manifested, stating that it had made him a ‘fighting machine’. He testified that since his deliverance, he had completely stopped smoking and drinking. He can eat and sleep well and no longer has the urge to fight and see blood.

Mr Samuel Edoja received the Anointing Sticker from a friend. He was told that this type of sticker was to be placed on a car but Mr Samuel didn’t own a car. Mr Samuel had never owned a car in his life! His friend told him to exercise faith that he would one day own a car. Mr Samuel cut out a picture of a car he saw in a newspaper, placed the Anointing Sticker on the picture and stuck it on his wall. His faith was encouraged by listening to other testimonies on Emmanuel TV.
During this time, he continued to pray to God, thanking Him for what He had done in his life, what He was doing and what He was about to do. To his greatest surprise, a short time later, a friend invited him to Warri, Delta, Nigeria and Mr Samuel was given a Toyota Corolla! He is now the owner of a car!

FIVE WOMEN, SIX CHILDREN – A PASTOR WITH A SPIRITUAL WIFE
Pastor Alex Alaba suffered from the problem of a spiritual wife who would appear to him physically and gave him the spirit of lust. When women
Pastor Alex Alaba with Children
Pastor Alex Alaba & Children
would come to him for prayer or counselling, he would sleep with them. As a result of the spiritual wife that wanted to destroy his life, he had six children by five different mothers – one set being twins. He did not know any of these children and had abandoned them from birth.
After his deliverance from the spiritual wife, he no longer sees her in his dreams and the spirit of lust has gone. When Prophet T.B. Joshua asked him about his children, he said that he didn’t know them. He had asked the man of God to help him to locate them following the deliverance and all six children were present in honour of the man of God’s invitation to come.
Pastor Alex Alaba saw his children for the first time and could not recognize any of them. The oldest child present was 19 years old. Prophet T.B. Joshua said that he wanted to meet the children one on one, that they were his guests and that he appreciated their coming. The Prophet said that he would counsel them and handle their case next week, in Jesus’ name.

Mrs John & Husband
Mrs John, a South African Journalist, said she came to The SCOAN with the problem of a spiritual husband. She said she had been prayed for in the past by many pastors in many churches but had never fallen under the anointing. Rather, she would fall deliberately when prayed for because she felt sorry for the pastors concerned and didn’t want them to feel embarrassed. However, when prayed for by Wise Man Daniel, she experienced God’s power as the evil spirit within her violently manifested and she lost complete control of herself.
As one of the most popular celebrity journalists in South Africa writing a gossip column, she would write embarrassing stories about celebrities and people in the limelight. Anywhere she went, she was always looking for people’s mistakes so that she could expose them. Her stories contributed to destroying relationships, careers and lives. After her deliverance, she became ashamed of the stories she had written about people, realising that it was under the influence of the evil spirit that many of these stories were written, including one in which she mocked a celebrity that came to The SCOAN.
She had had problems with the spiritual husband since the age of two when she was sexually abused but after her deliverance, she slept like a baby and no longer saw the spiritual husband in her dreams. Previously, she had no affection for her husband but after her deliverance, the affection returned. Now, she loves him more than ever! Her husband testified that before her deliverance, it was like living with a man in the house but after her deliverance, he was blessed as things have changed immensely. In light of her deliverance, she advised people to be careful of what they write and what they read.

Mrs Ngozi was delivered last week Sunday from an evil spirit that had affected her marriage and entire family. Her husband, Christian Nwachukwu who trades in oil and gas described his 17 years of marriage to her as ‘hell’.
Her brother, Chief Emeka Edward, a Managing Director and Contractor who was mysteriously facing severe business failure, said that his sister had harped on about The SCOAN for long but he showed no interest and tried to dissuade her from coming. He told Mrs Ngozi that what was happening at The SCOAN was ‘abra cadabra’. Miraculously, one Sunday, Mrs Ngozi said she wanted to come to The SCOAN and he agreed to follow her there. When he witnessed the first miracle in the service of a woman being healed at The SCOAN, he told the woman sitting beside him that the miracle was ‘arranged’. However, within 30 minutes, he saw his sister on the screen in The SCOAN manifesting and was astonished at his sister’s deliverance.
It was her deliverance that changed his opinion and that of his family. After her deliverance he said he was rejoicing thanking T.B. Joshua that he had bounced back in life, believing that the deliverance would restore breakthrough to the entire family!

FARMING: AN OCCUPATION OF DESTINY
Joshua Terfa-Ufena
Joshua Terfa-Ufena
Joshua Terfa-Ufena, a farmer from Benue State, Nigeria had suffered low productivity for about five years because his land was infertile. He almost gave up as a farmer because of business failure. For two years, he could not boast of even 50 tubers of yam on his farm. When he started watching Emmanuel TV, he saw miracles in the lives of others and decided to come to The SCOAN. He was privileged to receive The Anointing Water which he prayed with and ministered on the farm. That year, he yielded 1,300 tubers of yam. Due to the massive harvest of yams, he had to move to a bigger piece of land and he also ministered the Anointing Water on the new land. In no time at all, the land yielded a whopping 2,700 tubers of yam, which were extraordinarily large. His advice was that people should never give up and that God will always provide for them if they have faith, especially farmers to whom Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied that in 2013, they would succeed beyond their dreams.

Justin Onyeamachi had smoked cigarettes for 20 years, finishing between 3-5 packets a day. This had adversely affected his finances and health.  He used his school fees to buy cigarettes when he was in the university. He often told his wife that “After God, was cigarettes”. However, he was advised to come to The SCOAN and receive the Anointing Water. After ministering the Anointing Water, all desire for smoking and drinking completely disappeared. He now lives a life completely free from any addiction to smoking and drinking! He advised heavy smokers to seek the face of God, stressing that it was impossible for them to give up such an addiction in their own strength unless God was involved.

Augustine Amobi
Augustine Amobi Olisa, a Delta State born Nigerian had suffered abject poverty since 2000 until 2012 when he was delivered at The SCOAN through the Anointing Water. For those 12 years, his business as a contractor and seller of building materials collapsed and those owing him did not pay. Due to the severity of his condition, he was even being fed by his neighbours.
However, after discovering Emmanuel TV and seeing what had happened in the lives of others, he was moved to come to The SCOAN. In November, 2012, he visited The SCOAN, received the Anointing Water and prayed with it in faith, believing God for business breakthrough. A week later, an old friend whom he had lost contact with for many years, suddenly called and offered him a position as the head of his construction company. Shortly afterwards, he received a brand new truck to use at the company!  He encouraged people to believe that God’s time was the best and people should trust in Him.
I POURED PETROL ON MYSELF…
A video was replayed showing Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesying that there was a man within the

Apostle Muzhira
congregation who had a spirit of suicide and had attempted to kill himself by pouring petrol on himself.  Rushing forward from the congregation, Apostle Muzhira from Zimbabwe, confirmed that he was the one the prophecy referred to, confessing that he had poured fuel on himself. He said he was about to light the match to commit suicide and was saved only when his wife saw him and screamed out. Prophet T.B. Joshua then prayed for him and delivered him from the spirit pushing him to commit suicide.
Two years after the prophecy, Apostle Muzhira returned to The SCOAN to share his life-changing testimony. He explained that he had faced business failure in his taxi-driving company. Having lost all, he experienced severe mental depression and was suicidal. He attempted to use a rope to hang himself but didn’t know how the rope snapped. He also began to overeat and put on a substantial amount of weight. At the lowest point of his life, he poured fuel on himself in an attempt to commit suicide, the incident that Prophet T.B. Joshua had prophesied about.
However, after visiting The SCOAN in 2010, his life has radically transformed! Today, he is running a flourishing business as a marketing officer, his churches have re-emerged with strength and he is again respected in society. He testified that currently, his church is one of the biggest in Harare, Zimbabwe. Ever since his deliverance, all thoughts of suicide have gone, he is no longer depressed and he has regained his former stature and zeal for life.

He was taken to the prayer line where the evil spirit in him manifested, stating that it had made him a ‘fighting machine’. He testified that since his deliverance, he had completely stopped smoking and drinking. He can eat and sleep well and no longer has the urge to fight and see blood.
ANOINTING FOR THE CAR OF YOUR CHOICE

Mr Samuel Edoja received the Anointing Sticker from a friend. He was told that this type of sticker was to be placed on a car but Mr Samuel didn’t own a car. Mr Samuel had never owned a car in his life! His friend told him to exercise faith that he would one day own a car. Mr Samuel cut out a picture of a car he saw in a newspaper, placed the Anointing Sticker on the picture and stuck it on his wall. His faith was encouraged by listening to other testimonies on Emmanuel TV.
During this time, he continued to pray to God, thanking Him for what He had done in his life, what He was doing and what He was about to do. To his greatest surprise, a short time later, a friend invited him to Warri, Delta, Nigeria and Mr Samuel was given a Toyota Corolla! He is now the owner of a car!

FIVE WOMEN, SIX CHILDREN – A PASTOR WITH A SPIRITUAL WIFE
Pastor Alex Alaba suffered from the problem of a spiritual wife who would appear to him physically and gave him the spirit of lust. When women

would come to him for prayer or counselling, he would sleep with them. As a result of the spiritual wife that wanted to destroy his life, he had six children by five different mothers – one set being twins. He did not know any of these children and had abandoned them from birth.
After his deliverance from the spiritual wife, he no longer sees her in his dreams and the spirit of lust has gone. When Prophet T.B. Joshua asked him about his children, he said that he didn’t know them. He had asked the man of God to help him to locate them following the deliverance and all six children were present in honour of the man of God’s invitation to come.
Pastor Alex Alaba saw his children for the first time and could not recognize any of them. The oldest child present was 19 years old. Prophet T.B. Joshua said that he wanted to meet the children one on one, that they were his guests and that he appreciated their coming. The Prophet said that he would counsel them and handle their case next week, in Jesus’ name.

BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU READ

Mrs John & Husband
Mrs John & Husband
Mrs John, a South African Journalist, said she came to The SCOAN with the problem of a spiritual husband. She said she had been prayed for in the past by many pastors in many churches but had never fallen under the anointing. Rather, she would fall deliberately when prayed for because she felt sorry for the pastors concerned and didn’t want them to feel embarrassed. However, when prayed for by Wise Man Daniel, she experienced God’s power as the evil spirit within her violently manifested and she lost complete control of herself.
As one of the most popular celebrity journalists in South Africa writing a gossip column, she would write embarrassing stories about celebrities and people in the limelight. Anywhere she went, she was always looking for people’s mistakes so that she could expose them. Her stories contributed to destroying relationships, careers and lives. After her deliverance, she became ashamed of the stories she had written about people, realising that it was under the influence of the evil spirit that many of these stories were written, including one in which she mocked a celebrity that came to The SCOAN.
She had had problems with the spiritual husband since the age of two when she was sexually abused but after her deliverance, she slept like a baby and no longer saw the spiritual husband in her dreams. Previously, she had no affection for her husband but after her deliverance, the affection returned. Now, she loves him more than ever! Her husband testified that before her deliverance, it was like living with a man in the house but after her deliverance, he was blessed as things have changed immensely. In light of her deliverance, she advised people to be careful of what they write and what they read.
IS THIS ABRA CADABRA?
MRS NGOZI & FAMILY
Mrs Ngozi & Family
Mrs Ngozi was delivered last week Sunday from an evil spirit that had affected her marriage and entire family. Her husband, Christian Nwachukwu who trades in oil and gas described his 17 years of marriage to her as ‘hell’.
Her brother, Chief Emeka Edward, a Managing Director and Contractor who was mysteriously facing severe business failure, said that his sister had harped on about The SCOAN for long but he showed no interest and tried to dissuade her from coming. He told Mrs Ngozi that what was happening at The SCOAN was ‘abra cadabra’. Miraculously, one Sunday, Mrs Ngozi said she wanted to come to The SCOAN and he agreed to follow her there. When he witnessed the first miracle in the service of a woman being healed at The SCOAN, he told the woman sitting beside him that the miracle was ‘arranged’. However, within 30 minutes, he saw his sister on the screen in The SCOAN manifesting and was astonished at his sister’s deliverance.
It was her deliverance that changed his opinion and that of his family. After her deliverance he said he was rejoicing thanking T.B. Joshua that he had bounced back in life, believing that the deliverance would restore breakthrough to the entire family!
