T.b. Joshua

The service took off with the prayer line in which several people received their deliverance from various ailments. Prophet T.B. Joshua emerged to speak briefly on the theme "Faith is more reliable, dependable, stronger", using 2 Corinthians 5:7 as proof text.
He said sometimes, people base their spiritual experiences on feelings and emotions – what we see and hear. A Christian should believe that his situation is not meant to kill him; it is meant to strengthen your desire and determination for God. For our faith to be consistent, it must be based on something more stable than feelings and that is God's Word which is the same yesterday, today and forever.
He further said that when we are in the dark, we are likely to be frightened. He maintained that Christians today, without, are fighting; but within, are fears. The case of Elisha and his servant is an eye opener. It is a clear example for us. It is true many of us claim to be Christians, but without seeing enough. We cannot see enough until the eyes of our faith are opened.

TESTIMONIES
MRS BOATENG VALERIE: DELIVERED FROM LEUKEMIA THROUGH ANOINTING WATER
Mrs Boateng Valerie is a soldier from Ghana, who suffered from leukemia for four years. She had been referred to hospitals in Ghana but the doctors did not know exactly the nature of her ailment. She could not eat, parts of her body got swollen and there were rashes all over her body. The doctors recommended diverse medications, until eventually the study of her bone marrow revealed that she had leukemia. She was losing her hair, nothing was working out for her; she experienced sleeplessness and wild itching of her body. She was also restless and passed blood-filled urine. Having spent much money in search of solution to this problem, she finally resolved to visit The SCOAN to obtain her healing. She had visited on the 23rdof March, 2012 and was given the Anointing Water.

EMMANUEL AUDU: HAD HIS STOLEN BAG RETURNED MIRACULOUSLY

Audu and the stolen bag that was miraculously returned
He is a student at the University of Ghana, Legon, reading Banking and Finance at the masters level. He was about to travel back to Ghana when the bag containing his money, books and other belongings was picked by a robber, just as he was making calls with his phone. He had screamed, and had pursued the robber, who had to jump into the canal, to escape. Crying and without money on him, he had returned home. In the bag were the Anointing Water, Anointing Sticker and a copy of Prophet T.B. Joshua's book, "The step between you and the cure". Two days after, a call came that he should go to the spot where the bag was originally stolen, which he did. There, he found his bag! When he opened his bag, he saw a letter from the robbers pleading for forgiveness and prayers from T.B. Joshua and the bag owner.  He had advised that people should have a good relationship with God.

DEACON (MRS) OKOGU: DELIVERED FROM KIDNAPPERS THROUGH ANOINTING WATER
Deacon (Mrs) Okogu, the wife to Deacon (Hon) Paul Okogu, was kidnapped and driven away in her own vehicle to an unknown destination. The husband, Deacon Okogu, had, on hearing the story, sprayed the Anointing Water round the corners of his house, and prayed to God for the safe return of his wife. He had also driven out to look for the kidnappers, as well as reported the matter to the police. Security men had joined him in looking for her. After reporting the matter to the police, he had received calls from the kidnappers but he responded that the God of T.B. Joshua would rescue his wife from their hands. He had also thanked God in the midst of the trouble. The next morning, the wife had called him. The kidnappers had beaten her thoroughly and had asked for N20 million. But a vigilante group leader had also informed the husband that her car with the Anointing Sticker, was seen in the forest.

THE SCOAN MONDAY SERVICE
