SCOAN CELEBRATES GOD’S FAITHFULNESS WITH GLOBAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE. BY DARE ADEJUMO
SCOAN CELEBRATES GOD’S FAITHFULNESS WITH GLOBAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
BY DARE ADEJUMO
This Sunday, December 8, SCOAN at its Ikotun-Egbe Lagos headquarters will roll out drums in ecclesiastical soul inspiring songs and praises to express gratitude to God for His FAITHFULNESS as the rock upon which the church was founded..
The celebration which is the third of its kind is not only going to hold in Lagos but also across the nations and continents where members and Emmanuel TV Partners will gather respectively to rejoice too in the Lord.
SCOAN has many reasons to celebrate. The church like other churches in the country was closed down by the government for a long time during the Coovid-19 pandemic. Even when all churches nationwide were later authorized to open, SCOAN still closed its doors obviously because of the thirsty crowd for Synagogue Church of All Nations SCOAN from several countries who were all scrambling to come to Nigeria. If allowed at such a time when the world was not totally out of the woods of Covid-19 miasma it could generate unholy brouhaha which the Man of God Prophet TBJOSHUA would not want. In God’s wisdom he simply diffused the pressure by saying: “I will not reopen the church until I hear from God”. Yes it was clearly not suitable to open at the time because of these massive foreign visitors looking at the genesis of the rampaging pandemic that killed several millions of people worldwide.
The greater devastation that jolted the entire world suddenly happened! The God’s General, the enigmatic spiritual giant who bestrode the world like a colossus by bringing Jesus Christ in action to the doorsteps of the world like early apostles and his uncommon love for humanity that touched and blessed the lives of millions all over the world suddenly passed on; just shortly after conducting a symbolic “parting” worship at his prayer mountain where he had been meeting with worshippers in batches since the nationwide reopening of the churches.
That was indeed a big storm; the unfathomable spiritual earthquake that be-clouded the world and the church’s firmament. Many, who were being ruled by flesh and those of the dark world to which Joshua was a puzzle and thorn in their flesh by the radiant light of God in him which put their satanic powers and kingdom on their knees with the name of Jesus Christ had ignorantly concluded that the end of SCOAN had finally come not knowing that greater is He in the SCOAN than he that is in the world. Satan and its agents tried to territize the church, but the church could not cowed.
But God would never forsake His own. The grace, wisdom, power and love of God whose adamantine will remain inscrutable paved the way for the leadership mantle of SCOAN like that of Elijah to Elisha to fall upon Evelyn Joshua.
Pastor Evelyn Joshua without mincing words is a woman of virtues, one in a million. The quintessential womanhood, who had quietly gone through the spiritual mills, was well equipped and fortified for the new roles beyond human imagination. The life of Evelyn Joshua today shows clearly that TBJOSHUA never made a mistake in her choice as wife by their conjugal life as he was led by the Holy Spirit to marry her.
That God was the foundation of the church, that God is ever with the church and His grace would for ever be sufficient for His chosen ones is today very palpable and gratifying in the joyful activities and flow of anointing from His throne of grace with the presence of the Holy Spirit in the dumbfounding demonstration of God’s power, blessings, healing and miracles whenever and wherever Pastor Evelyn Joshua chooses to worship, evangelise or hold a crusade as led by the Holy Spirit. A woman of propulsive energy, unassuming, firm, calm, intelligent, and loving, Evelyn Joshua has no eyes for frivolous or wanton desires. She is spiritually endowed and full of joyful activities. With time, people that have not discovered will see very clearly that TBJOSHUA is in Evelyn Joshua.
This is the secret of the joy of members and Emmanuel TV Partners world wide today as the church is increasing daily with several countries requesting for a crusade in their respective domains!
The celebration is bound to be colourful with the members enthusiasm to praise God in their respective best appearances in honor of God.
“We are overwhelmed with gratitude for all that God has done for The Synagogue Church Of All Nations SCOAN” said the Woman of God, Evelyn Joshua. “His faithfulness has brought healing to our bodies, deliverance to our souls, blessings to our lives and salvation to our spirits. He has preserved and multiplied our families including several open doors of breakthrough. We are therefore celebrating His unfailing goodness” she added.
In the last three years when the church reopened a lot of giant strides had taken place under Evelyn Joshua. Some of these, just to mention a few are::
The Akure branch that had remained in comatose was joyfully rebranded and opened for members and public who are till today in high spirit.. Crusades, partners meetings and charity works were held in Ghana South Africa, Zambia, Spain, Kenya, and Argentina. There have been massive charity works in different parts of Nigeria, Anointing Water was distributed to Partners with Charity works in different countries; Regular meetings with the elderly people with welfare packages for them;; berthing of Women of Grace Conference which was initiated by Evelyn Joshua towards the reawakening of womenfolk for true womanhood in Creation; International Youth Conference for the purpose of achieving greater and peaceful future for our world has been planted. Evelyn Joshua believes that both the government and the society must not fail in proper moulding of the youth.
The thanksgiving service will be preceded on Friday with “healing and deliverance service”. Like the “Living Water Service” of the church, the Friday service is a dedicated and unique one that will draw crowds from different parts of the country and beyond.
One of the major landmarks in SCOAN is Pastor Joshua’s unquenchable yearning and her uncompromising stand for a sound spiritual life for members. Each group in the church is today made to regularly spend time with God on TBJOSHUA Mountain where both in spirit and knowledge including prayer lives of participants are greatly enriched. She has also tenaciously upheld the lofty legacies of her late husband for which he lived and died for.
Without doubt, SCOAN is a mystery. It is a tree planted in the riverside by God. It is hound to bring out its fruits in the seasons and its leaves shall never wither. As the gate of hell cannot prevail against it because of Christ, the church of God is joyfully waxing stronger day by day.

Mrs Township Finalist 2026 Leads Community Action to Support Disadvantaged Learners
As the 2026 academic year begins, hope and compassion are taking root at Theresapark Primary School, thanks to the remarkable leadership of Mrs Nkone Maringa, a respected community member and Mrs Township South Africa Finalist 2026.
In a powerful demonstration of grassroots leadership and social responsibility, Mrs Maringa, in partnership with Theresapark Sasol Garage, spearheaded a community clean-up of the school’s garden area. The initiative was carried out in preparation for the school’s feeding scheme garden, which will support disadvantaged children with fresh, nutritious produce throughout the school year.
Planting Seeds of Change
The garden project goes beyond beautifying the school environment. It is designed to become a sustainable source of food for learners who rely on the school feeding programme as a vital lifeline. By preparing the land ahead of the school reopening, Mrs Maringa and her partners ensured that planting can begin immediately, setting the tone for a productive and caring 2026.
“This project is about dignity, nutrition, and giving our children a healthy start to the year,” the initiative reflects—aligning perfectly with Mrs Maringa’s long-standing commitment to community upliftment.
A Record of Community Impact
Mrs Nkone Maringa’s involvement at Theresapark Primary School is one of several impactful projects she has undertaken in her community. Known for her hands-on approach, she consistently mobilizes local businesses, volunteers, and stakeholders to address real needs—especially those affecting children, women, and vulnerable groups.
Her work embodies the core values of the Mrs Township South Africa platform: leadership, service, empowerment, and positive social change. As a finalist for the 2026 title, Mrs Maringa continues to prove that true leadership is measured not by titles alone, but by tangible impact on the ground.
Corporate–Community Partnership in Action
The collaboration with Theresapark Sasol Garage highlights the power of partnerships between local businesses and community leaders. Their support played a crucial role in making the clean-up initiative successful, demonstrating how corporate social responsibility can directly transform lives at a grassroots level.
Looking Ahead
With the garden now prepared, Theresapark Primary School is set to launch its feeding scheme garden as learners return for the new academic year. The project stands as a symbol of hope, resilience, and collective effort.
As Mrs Nkone Maringa continues her journey as a Mrs Township South Africa Finalist 2026, her work at Theresapark Primary School serves as a shining example of how passion, partnership, and purpose can create lasting change—one garden, one child, and one community at a time.
‘I Never Indicted Egbetokun’ — Jesam Michael Rebuts Sowore’s Allegations
Abuja — Businessman Jesam Michael has strongly refuted claims attributed to him in a recent report by activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore, describing the publication as false, misleading, and a total misrepresentation of his statements.
In an exclusive chat on Saturday, Michael denied ever making the allegations credited to him by Sowore concerning the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, while both men were reportedly inmates at the Kuje Correctional Centre in October 2025.
Sowore, in a widely circulated account, claimed that Michael had alleged receiving operational support from senior police officers, including the provision of office space within the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, police protection, and the use of officers to detain individuals connected to a purported Ponzi scheme. The report further alleged financial inducements involving senior police officers.
However, Michael dismissed the account as “entirely fabricated.”
“I never made those statements to Omoyele Sowore or to anyone else,” Michael said. “At no point did I accuse the Inspector-General of Police or any senior police officer of providing me with offices, police units, or protection. The claims attributed to me are false and malicious. I only met him briefly when he came to greet Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother whom I share a block with here and there is no way we could have sat down to discuss such fabricated stories ”
Michael specifically rejected claims suggesting that he supported or “served” police officers, insisting that he never stated that he had any police unit at his disposal or that law enforcement personnel acted on his instructions.
“I never said I supported police officers or had officers working for me. That allegation did not come from me,” he said.
He also denied claims that his properties were shared among senior police officers, describing the allegation as baseless and untrue.
“At no time did I say that my properties were shared among police officers or anyone else,” Michael stated.
Additionally, Michael categorically refuted allegations credited to him that a retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Dasuki Galandanchi, collected ₦250 million or played any role in silencing victims.
“I never mentioned DIG Dasuki Galandanchi, nor did I accuse him or anyone else of collecting money. That statement was never mine,” he said.
Michael further alleged that Sowore, through intermediaries, had previously attempted to persuade him to publicly indict the IGP in exchange for media backing—an offer he said he firmly rejected.
“I was approached repeatedly through a lawyer called Marshall, allegedly acting on Sowore’s behalf, asking that I make statements against the IGP so an article could be published. I refused, and I believe this publication is retaliation for that refusal,” he stated.
According to Michael, he declined to entertain the lawyer again after the initial contact, insisting that he would not be used to advance any personal or political agenda.
Sowore had earlier narrated his detention following the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest, alleging harassment by police officers and accusing the IGP of acting unlawfully in office. His report cited conversations he claimed to have had with Michael during their time in custody as further evidence of alleged corruption within the Nigeria Police Force.
Michael, however, maintained that any legal issues surrounding him are already before the appropriate authorities and are being handled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“My case is before the law. I have not, and will not, make reckless allegations against individuals or institutions to gain favour or sympathy,” he said.
As of the time of filing this report, the Nigeria Police Force has not issued an official response to either Sowore’s allegations or Michael’s rebuttal.
The development adds a new layer to the ongoing public controversy surrounding Sowore’s claims against the police hierarchy, with Michael’s denial raising questions about the accuracy of statements attributed to private individuals in politically sensitive narratives.
Jesam Michael’s business challenges are currently being addressed at the federal high court as well as FCT high court Jabi. He is very confident that justice will surely be done at the end of the day.
Joining Sowore in his pursuit of cheap blackmail against the IGP, other senior police officers or anyone else has never and will never be a part of Jesam Michael.
To say the least, Jesam Michael is totally disgusted by the stories falsely peddled by Sowore and wishes to totally dissociate him self from the false and malicious stories told by Sowore.
Sowore should please look for another willing tool to use not Jesam Michael.
