Society gazette reports that all is still not well with the synagogue church of all nations (SCOAN), the legacy of late Prophet TB Joshua even one month after the church was opened for service.
It was gathered that one of the top disciples of the late man of God, Prophet Racine who was pleaded with to return to the church on December 5, 2021 has been sent out again.
It would be recalled that most of the foreign disciples were reportedly sent out of the ministry for allegedly trying to sell the private jet of late Prophet TB Joshua after his death. Though the disciples denied being involved in such a deal but they were reportedly arrested, harassed by anti-graft agency, EFCC.
Months after their exit, sources revealed that the new leader of the church, Mrs Evelyn Joshua who is the widow of the late founder reached out to prophet Racine to return to the church which he obliged.
However, all has gone sour again as the prophet was nowhere to be found during the last service held while sources confirmed that he has been booted out of the ministry again.
Samuel, the son of Funmilayo Adebayo, an evangelist nicknamed Mummy GO, on Friday said that his mother is not bothered about the hellfire memes circulating online.
Evang. Adebayo, the founder of Rapture Proclaimer Evangelical Church of God, has been trending on social media due to her controversial pronouncements.
Her son however, said many of the texts attributed to her mum in the memes about hellfire were fabricated and untrue imaginations.
Samuel told Punch that his mother truly made some comments about several actions that might attract hellfire as destination in the hereafter, she never forced people to believe her.
“Social media has always been a platform where anything can be posted at any point in time but everything that has been posted about her saying she said this and that are all lies, nothing is true about the memes, they are just fabricating the memes, everybody with their contents, writing all sorts of things and tagging her pictures. We are used to it; the best thing is to ignore them.
“Even though she said everything about hell, there is nowhere she said by fire, by force, people must agree and accept what she is saying. I don’t think she has ever made that kind of statement before,” Samuel said.
Even though he has passed on to glory, it’s obvious that the legacy of late Prophet TB Joshua, the founder of Synagogue Church Of All Nations continues to live on.
Just as he used to say that the best way to live life is doing things that will outlive one, the life of Prophet TB Joshua has become a living epistle for everyone because it is clear that his many great works are outliving him.
Today Tuesday, 28th of December 2021, the disciples of late Prophet TB Joshua stormed the prestigious Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos state to give massively to the disabled which include the blind, deaf, dwarfs, albinos, crippled, and everyone with any form of disability.
They humbly presented 250 bags of rice and a cash gift of N1,500,000 to the disabled in a way to show love just as Prophet TB Joshua had always posited that Jesus is the reason for this season, therefore, showing love to everyone around is the best way to celebrate.
Though Prophet TB Joshua had always reached out to these special creatures, many of them had thought his death would cause an end to the philanthropic work until the disciples took it upon themselves to continue the legacy of the late Prophet whose spirit of giving has rubbed on them.
During the presentation, Evangelist Joseph, one of the disciples explained that the reason behind the gift is not far-fetched from the fact that it is a season of love and a time to share with others the good things that have been received from God’s generous hands.
He quoted Prophet TB Joshua’s popular saying that the whole being of any Christian is built on faith and love while making it known that there is no love that doesn’t express itself in giving.
‘’As we all know, this is a season of love, a time to share with others the good things we have received from God’s generous Hands, and with us here today are our friends, the Physically Challenged which includes those on the wheelchair, the visually impaired, the deaf, the dumb, the little people, the Albinos and other vulnerable people who have come from different places to converge here today, the 28th of December, 2021 in high expectation.
Prophet TB Joshua said, the whole being of any Christian is built on faith and love. Faith brings man to God and love brings him to him – Therefore, let love lead! Love must be uppermost in our hearts because all our doings without love are worthless. The man of God said, love everyone irrespective of their race, religion or physical dispositions. And there is no love that does not express itself in giving. We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.
The whole world today can attest to Prophet TB Joshua’s track record in terms of caring for the less privileged in the society, both locally and internationally: The widows, the elderly, orphans, the physically challenged, the little people, the homeless, victims of natural disasters and others – providing food, shelter, accommodation, financial support, scholarships and so on.
This was what Prophet TB Joshua was born for, lived for and died for. And in continuation of his worthy legacies, we his Disciples and our committed supporters are here today to extend a hand of love to these friends of ours. We have come with bags of rice and cash gifts for them, to enable them also celebrate with their families this yuletide season’’
While receiving the gifts, the elated friends of Prophet TB Joshua couldn’t contain their joy as they bursted into songs of praise in appreciation of the bags of rice and cash gift.
Mr Biodun, a crippled man, expressed happiness on receiving his bag of rice and cash gift. He went down the memory lane by explaining how he has constantly received gifts from late prophet TB Joshua. He appreciated the disciples for continuing the legacy of the late prophet.
Also, Mr Lateef, A Physically challenged man who described prophet TB Joshua as father to the fatherless, expressed gratitude to the disciples for remembering the disabled just as the late prophet did during his lifetime.
Mrs Adebisi, a dwarf, noted that her joy knew no bounds when she heard the disciples of Prophet TB Joshua were planning something for the disabled. She explained that Prophet TB Joshua does it every year before he died and it’s worth celebrating that his disciples have taken up that responsibility.
The Albinos also registered their appreciation to the disciples, while admonishing them to always be of good cheer.

The General Overseer of the Omega Fire International Ministry (OFM), Apostle Johnson Suleman, has advised single men not to give money to any woman they are not married to during this Christmas season.
Apostle Suleman made this known during church service where he bemoaned 21st-century relationships. He noted that single men should not neglect their mothers and families who took care of them whilst focusing on their girlfriends.
He noted that women only aim to exploit men to meet their financial needs and nothing else.
“A young man meet a lady and the next thing she said is, what will you give me? Is relationship a business transaction? If a lady ask you what you will give her, you too ask her what she will give you or what has she given you. Don’t neglect your mother and gives money to a lady you’re not married to.
“I’m advising you so that you won’t spend your Christmas in pain. Your mother is in the village, your siblings have not eaten, your parent are stranded yet you’re gathering Christmas money to give to a lady you’re not married to.
“Can I give you an advice? If anyone is putting you under pressure this December, turn off your phone and put it on in January, if you can’t handle pressure. Only turn it on if you want to talk to relevant people. Don’t give money to any lady this Christmas, take care of your family” Apostle Suleman.

A self-proclaimed pastor in Ondo State, Gbenga Filani has been arrested for allegedly raping a married woman inside his Church.
Naija News learnt that the suspect is currently being grilled at the Criminal Investigation Department of the Police Headquarters, Igbatoro Road in Akure, the state capital.
According to reports, the Celestial Church of Christ, CCC pastor had invited the victim who is carrying a five-months-old pregnancy into his church for deliverance.
The 19-year-old victim whose name is withheld explained that Filani who is also known as a presenter of a popular programme in the state, inserted his fingers into her private part and thereafter used his manhood to apply ‘anointed oil inside her.
Naija News understands that the victim had reported the incident after she allegedly started noticing a strange situation with her pregnancy following the act.
Narrating her ordeal at the police headquarters, the victim said: “He dipped his middle finger with oil into my private part. He said my baby is vertical instead of being horizontal. He said he would put oil in my private part and would help me insert it with his private part so that the oil would get into the baby.
“He rubbed oil on his private part and asked me to open my legs. He then had sex with me. He said he was not supposed to do it but helped me because my husband was not around.
“It was after he had sex with me that I came into my right senses. He said I should swear that I should not tell anyone including my mother. He said I will die if I told anybody,” she said.
The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in the state, DSP Funmilayo Odunlami has confirmed the arrest of the broadcaster, noting that investigation is still on.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has opened up on his revelation from God when he prayed about the coronavirus pandemic.
The clergyman revealed during the church’s annual Holy Ghost Congress, that the virus would not harm Nigerians and those who would die are simply the ones whose time have come.
He said: “Whether you believe it or not, failure to pray is a sign of pride. The highly developed nations of the world believe that they have all the technologies and resources, and they can take care of themselves. Then an enemy showed up. An enemy they cannot see.
“And they looked at Africa without money and resources and predicted that we will be dying like chicken. But they left out one parameter, and that is God. They left out that there is still a group of people who in their helpless estate still lift up their eyes to God and say ‘God help us’.
“I said it in January 1 this year, I was telling them the government has done very well in fighting coronavirus, an enemy we can’t see. I said don’t be careless but don’t be afraid because there is a God who can see the invisible.
“When this coronavirus broke, I cried to God and Daddy answered me. God spoke to me specifically and said, ‘Son, I have heard your cry. Only those whose time has come will die’.
He also spoke on the recent snake bite attack happening in the nation and said that those who die from snake bites are about 2000 every year which translates to 4000 in 2years.
The popular clergyman maintained that the COVID-19 pandemic has been around for 2years but have not killed up to 4000 people in Nigeria, assuring his congregants to put their mind at ease that the virus would only harm them if it was their time to die.
“But when pride comes and the moment you think you can do things on your own, God will leave everything to you. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble,” he added.
“God made you for his pleasure so he doesn’t like the idea of you wanting to be independent of Him. He wants to have fellowship with him. That’s why when Adam fell he came down looking for him. He enjoys hearing you pray. I pray over the water before using it to bath. I pray over every little thing I do.
“The devil knows the only way to help when you are under a siege is by prayer so he attacks the prayer life of people. Prayerlessness enables the siege to continue.”
