LIVING WATER SERVICE; SCOAN BACK IN FULL SPIRITUAL SWING.
LIVING WATER SERVICE; SCOAN BACK IN FULL SPIRITUAL SWING.
By Dare Adejumo
One of the ardent and very precious hearty longings of Prophet TB Joshua while on Earth for which He assiduously laboured day and night was to leave behind Christians in sound personal relationship with God.
To him, this is the greatest achievement anyone could have on Earth: ability to hear from God, knowing what He wants for you and doing that which is entirely in His pleasure. “This is what I was born for, this is what I will live to do and this is what I will die for”. He would never fail to admonish, encourage and inspire his listeners to live every day as if it were their last day on Earth and transcend the pervadive fad and vogue of cosmetic, superficial Christian life.
Repeatedly and vigorously, he would enjoin all at every opportunity:
“Trust God only. I am a human being like you; I listen to Him on whatever you see me do. Jesus Christ is my Master. If He doesn’t say ‘stretch your hand I will not. Christianity is not a religion but a relationship.
“Try to have a good personal relationship with Him. You can talk to Him and He can talk to you. How can you truly worship God you don’t know? Have you ever thought of that or considered it in order to evaluate your christian life and see whether you are what God wants you to be?
“Do not play with this serious issue of your being. Be committed to God’s words and ensure that in your christian life journey you do not fail to achieve this. Only then can you have that calmness and peace that comes from knowing God and begin to live as a true human being”. That’s TB Joshua for you in his characteristically standard of life attitudes.
This spiritual demand was a critical factor in the birth of LIVING WATER SERVICE in the Synagogue Church Of All Nations SCOAN which he instituted before his departure.
The Living Water Service became a solemn and sober moment of worshippers inner readiness to encounter God as they went to the Mountain inside the church to pray and fetch the symbolically living water in a small disposable cup not more than two tablespoon in volume. The fact is, If a pilgrim’s heart is not ready for God, according to the Man of God such a worshipper has only gone there as a spectator!
That very Living Water Service as used to be done by the Great Prophet of God himself was carried out at SCOAN, Ikotun Egbe last weekend for the first time since his passing.
It was a glorious moment of God’s presence and power with the explosion of miracles, healing and deliverance beyond human imaginations.
It was a moment of ‘do it yourself’; ‘me and my faith’; ‘how my heart is and my stand before God’. It was a new dimension in God’s inscrutable marvellous ways of manifesting to mankind when no servants of God was laying hand or personally praying directly for any pilgrims!
Despite the short notice of the event on Emmanuel TV, people trooped in and converged from different parts of the world for an encounter with God and the encounter was real!
The SCOAN leader, Pastor Evelyn Joshua who God is using mightily at present in positively and gloriously moving the Church forward in God’s directives declared the Living Water Service open and ushered in the enthusiastic, highly expectant pilgrims who filled the church and its overflows to the brim.
“Christianity is in the heart. Let your heart be in tune with God’s. God is ever faithful. His promises are sure and He would never foresake His own. For you to have come from from all over for an encounter with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in this Living Water Service as given and commanded to His servant Prophet TB Joshua, today His grace, mercy and favour would speak for you” she prayed as led the pilgrims for their own individuals personal encounters with God.
Last weekend would remain memorable in the annals of Synagogue Church Of All Nations SCOAN history with the upsurge of miracles, deliverances from all bondages of darkness and healings.
One thing was also very clear in the overall experiences: the God of TB JOSHUA is alive. SCOAN is clearly waxing stronger, The grace of God is copiously abundant for the church leadership and for the glorious continuity of God’s work as founded by Prophet TB Joshua. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised and quoting one of the ancient prophets: the mills of God grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine

Sermon Highlights
We live in a world ruled by different levels and types of power. However, among all powers—whether from the waters, the marine world, the marketplace world, the grave, or the elemental forces—the Power of God stands supreme and unmatched.
In this present generation, the power of man is not enough to survive. This is a generation of warfare, a generation where unseen forces seek dominance, and many mistakenly think they can live casually, without spiritual power.
The truth is:
In a world full of spiritual battles, you either become a slave or an overcomer. You are either a prey or a predator.
A powerless life is not a life worth living.
The Power of God is awesome, absolute, and incomparable. Yet, the power of God does not come overnight. It is a gradual, deliberate process.
If you seek quick and cheap power, you are not seeking the true power of God. Divine power must be sought, grown, nurtured, and matured until it becomes mighty within you.
How to Receive the Power of God
There are eight key ways to generate the Power of God:
1. Through the Name of Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:10–11)
The Name of Jesus carries unstoppable power. At the mention of His Name, every knee must bow—whether in heaven, on earth, or under the earth.
2. Through the Blood of Jesus
(Revelation 10:11)
The Blood of Jesus gives you power for cleansing and victory. It purges you from sin and builds a spiritual wall of fire around your life.
3. Through the Word of God
The Word of God is a two-edged sword.
When you quote the Word with authority, demons tremble and bow. Saturating yourself with Scripture makes you spiritually untouchable.
4. Through Fasting and Prayer
Fasting breaks your flesh and humbles your body, opening the gateway for divine power.
– Jesus fasted for 40 days before launching into mighty miracles.
– Daniel fasted for 21 days and received divine revelations and revival fire.
5. Through Evangelism (Romans 1:16, 1 Corinthians 1:18)
Evangelism releases God’s power. When you preach the Gospel, you unleash the power of salvation and open doors for miracles.
6. Through a Life of Holiness
Holiness invites the power of God automatically. Living a pure, righteous life makes you a carrier of divine power without necessarily asking for it.
7. Through the Power of Resurrection (Philippians 3:10)
Knowing Christ brings you into the experience of resurrection power—overcoming sin, death, and every limitation.
8. Through the Power of the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8)
The Holy Spirit empowers you for exploits. With the Holy Ghost, what seems humanly impossible becomes supernaturally possible.
Declarations
Lift your voice and declare with fire:
Fire!
I need fire!
I receive fire!
I have fire!
Fire Prayers
Pray these prophetic prayers with holy aggression:
1. Fire of God, come upon me!
2. Shout “Holy Ghost Fire!” seven times.
Heaven’s Script Unfolds: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s 2025 Prophecy on Pope Francis Fulfilled
The world mourns Pope Francis, while a prophetic message echoes with divine accuracy.
Vatican City | April 21, 2025 — In a moment that has shaken the global Catholic community and resonated through spiritual circles worldwide, Pope Francis passed away peacefully on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88, in his Vatican residence at Casa Santa Marta.
At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, made the somber announcement from the Holy See:
“Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis… At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father…”
But even amid the mourning, another narrative is making headlines — that of divine foresight.
Earlier this year, Nigerian cleric, Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, released a chilling prophecy regarding a “major exit in the Vatican,” naming Pope Francis as the focus of his revelation. Delivered in a January 2025 broadcast, the prophetic message warned of an impending transition in the Catholic Church’s highest office, citing spiritual visions of the Pontiff’s declining health and heavenly summons.
Today, that prophecy has come to pass.
A Voice Crying in the Spiritual Wilderness
Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, known for his bold prophetic utterances and spiritual insights, stated in his January message:
“Pray for the Vatican. I see a great change coming. The one seated shall be taken, and it shall mark a new chapter for the Church.”
While many took the message with caution, some believers rallied in prayer. As the months unfolded, Pope Francis’ health took a notable decline. He was admitted to Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic Hospital on February 14, 2025, for complications from bronchitis. Doctors later diagnosed him with bilateral pneumonia on February 18.
Despite returning to Casa Santa Marta after 38 days of hospitalization to continue recovery, the Holy Father never regained full strength.
The End of an Era
Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, led the Catholic Church with humility, inclusiveness, and fervent compassion, championing the rights of the poor and marginalized. His papacy was marked by simplicity, progressive reforms, and a call to return to the Gospel’s core values.
As millions grieve, many within the prophetic community are pointing to Aitafo’s message as a profound sign of divine communication and the importance of spiritual sensitivity in turbulent times.
A Call to Spiritual Reflection
Prophet Kingsley, in a statement released hours after the Pope’s death, expressed his condolences while reaffirming the spiritual significance of the moment:
“This was not a wish — it was a word from the Spirit. Let the world understand: when God speaks, it is not to scare, but to prepare. Let us pray for the Church and its future.”
As the Vatican begins its formal mourning and preparations for the conclave, many eyes are now turned toward the heavens — and toward those anointed to see what lies ahead.,
