After 21 months of protracted closure and public suspense on reopening for Church services at The Synagogue Church Of All Nations, life will begin to beam again as from Sunday, December 5, 2021 at its Ikotun-Egbe, headquarters in Lagos as its gate will be open for its global members who have been yearning for the church to begin the usual live service programmes.
Late Prophet T B Joshua, the Founder and General Overseer of the Ministry, had in March 2020 suspended the regular Sunday services following the outbreak of Covid-19 pademic which almost paralyzed the whole world.
Till his passing on June 5 this year, the church had remained under lock.
Joshua had said he was yet to hear from God on church reopening, saying “we will only reopen when we receive an instruction to do so from God.”
There has been a lot of pressure from members of the SCOAN globally for the church to resume services after the passing of the man of God but the church’s new leadership under Prophetess Evelyn TBJoshua maintained the position of her late husband that “the reopening of the church for normal Sunday services will only commence with the intimation of the holy spirit” and that is what is now taking place. Besides, the mourning period of the God’s General would have been over.
The SCOAN has its own fair shares of the usual leadership and succession tussles in human affairs, an avoidable situation especially in The SCOAN but for the misguided few disciples all of whom have now retraced their wrong steps.
A strong church member, Mr. Babs Olorunwa, on the reopening said the church today has been thoroughly reorganized for better performance.
“The hand of God remains very strong upon this church with the few prayer gatherings I witnessed on the church mountain. I tell you categorically, God would never forsake His own. Synagogue Church Of All Nations is alive. Glory be to God.”
The church resumption now is a response to the call of the Holy Spirit that the services begin as a manifestation of God’s anointing towards the glorification of His mighty name at this blessed, festive
season.
