From John Silas, Lagos
Leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Pastor Evelyn Joshua, has called on members and Nigerians across the country to embrace the coming year with steadfast faith and absolute trust in God.
She gave the charge during the church’s annual thanksgiving service held on Sunday at its headquarters in Lagos.
“As you live to the coming year, I encourage you all, hold onto God with absolute trust,” she said. “Walk with Him boldly, expectantly, and joyfully. For the path of the righteous is like the shining sun that shines ever brighter onto the perfect day. We know that in this ministry, better is not good enough. The best is yet to come.”
Joshua expressed deep gratitude to God for His faithfulness throughout the year, saying, “My heart overflows with gratitude to God Almighty, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and of Prophet TB Joshua.
He is the God who speaks, who leads, and never fails. Give thanks to God, for He is good; His mercy endures forever.”
He is the God who speaks, who leads, and never fails. Give thanks to God, for He is good; His mercy endures forever.”
Reflecting on the church’s journey in the outgoing year, she said it had unfolded just as revealed by the Holy Spirit — a “forward-looking year” marked by testimonies.
She noted that God had moved His people “from sickness to healing, from lack to abundance, and from disappointment to divine appointments,” while also highlighting the church’s spiritual and physical growth, describing Psalm 105 as a testament to God’s blessings upon the ministry.
