“Today like other, is a new dawn in the SCOAN. As we all know, Prophet TB Joshua fought a good fight of the kingdom and finished strong to the glory of God.
“We have now commenced the journey from where our father left. He had already prepared us all for this new phase and we must rise up to the occasion as a team under the command of God and the direction of the Holy Spirit. This journey is for us all, SCOAN cannot be without you – all the members, partners and friends of the ministry
“This now serves as a clarion call for you all to rise as an army of God as we push this great commission forward. I am not your General Overseer, my dear husband and our father, the prophet of generations senior prophet TB Joshua remains the founder and General Overseer of SCOAN.
“Like my beloved husband used to say, let love lead. Today, I represent the symbol of that love even as he continues to reside by the right hand of his maker. I am only a servant who only by the direction of the Holy Spirit, will team up with you all to direct the affairs of this great ministry.
“We will work, pray, fight the fight of faith together win together so that we all can inherit the everlasting home together. I know that we all have missed the congregation of our brethren for the past one and a half years but let me assure you that as God leads, we shall all soon converge again and worship God together as a family. So watch out.
“There is no gainsaying the fact that I and the entire team need your prayers, support, encouragement and advice all at this time. The duty is much, the burden is heavy but we will all cast them onto Jesus who has already given us the promise of his help.
“I thank you once again for the love and support you have shown to this ministry and senior prophet TB Joshua for the past years but if there is anytime to show that love more, the time is now. Let me still assure you that God is always with us. Emmanuel!”
Following the demise of the renowned prophet, the church has been battling with leadership crisis that halted worship activities in the ministry.
The alleged leadership tussle had led to the eviction of some disciples of the late prophet who hitherto antagonized the decision of Evelyn to lead the affairs of the Church.
