Late TB Joshua’s Wife Announces When Will SCOAN Reopen

Evelyn T. B. Joshua, the new leader of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN ) has announced that it would commence open church ser­vice to all its members soon following leading by God.

This is coming one and a half years after the outbreak of COVID-19 which led to the restrictions of public gather­ings in the country.

Mrs. Joshua stated on Sun­day that although members and leaders are eager to begin services, we have to first hear from the Lord and be guided by the revelations from the Holy Spirit before we can begin ser­vice.

“We are getting ready and even yearning to start Services but we cannot go outside the will of God whose directive is what we shall continue to up­hold, live and work on.”

Present at the briefing on Sunday also includes, head of Environment department, Engr. Niyi Jegede, members of Finance department, Messrs. Tunde Olanipekun, and Abra­ham Showumi and chairman of Welfare department, Mr. Kola Kareem among other prominent members.

Evelyn stated that before the demise of the founder of SCOAN, prophet Temitope Joshua, SCOAN was yet to start services unlike other churches and that the peculiarity of the church where foreigners are all eager to be present amidst the world health crisis even right now have always been put into consideration.

Her words: “We have no fear whatsoever but don’t forget a good Christian must also be a good citizen. We have contin­ued to pray for God’s mercy for our nation and the world. Besides, I am still mourning the passing of my husband. When the morning time is over and most importantly when the Lord intimates us to begin, we shall move swiftly in God’s grace. Be assured that God’s mercy endures and by His grace SCOAN shall come out stronger.”

Speaking on plans to reopen for service, a legal member representing SCOAN legal de­partment, Mr. James Akhigbe revealed that various commit­tees have been set up to ensure that there is smooth service in compliance with the Presiden­tial Taskforce committee rec­ommendations on COVID-19 protocol and the leadership is also waiting for the leading of the holy spirit.

“Very soon the church will commence service but we don’t do things based on human emotions, We don’t conduct the affairs of SCOAN to please peo­ple but we embark on project because we have heard from God. We are very hopeful that Godwill give us the green light. Meanwhile, we cannot say tomorrow because you can not dictate to the Holy Spirit,” he said.
