The SCOAN Sunday service was indeed one to remember as The SCOAN choir led the congregants in an outpouring moment of praise and worship. The power of God descended in the church like never before, uplifting souls, healing the sick, delivering and setting the captives free.
While basking in the euphoria and glory of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua ushered in a soul-searching message titled ‘THE REAL THING’ which centralizes on the Holy Spirit and commitment. He introduced the message using the proof text- John 14:26, “But the advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name will teach you of all things and remind you of everything I have said to you”.
He reminded the church saying: “You cannot remember anything of Jesus without the help of the Holy Spirit. This means, if you are not born of the Spirit, you are not a true believer. Christianity therefore, lies in the heart”.
With revelations to deep secrets of the Bible, Prophet T.B. Joshua in his teachings, stressed on facts about the real thing: “The real thing about man is not his body but his spirit. Man is a spirit being, a divine person possessed of spirit, soul, and body. It is possible to identify our body but what of our soul and spirit? Can we say we cannot identify our spirit and soul, that they do not exist because there is no emotional reaction? The Holy Spirit is a divine being and we have Him not because of some emotional sensation but because God’s Word plainly so indicates”.
Conclusively, Prophet T.B. Joshua advised all to build an intimacy, a connection with the Holy Spirit saying, “Man has the ability to preach but the Holy Spirit preaches as He wills. There must be corresponding power to do anything from God. An intimation must come from the Spirit to do this and that”.
