Synagogue Church of All Nations Church, led by late Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, has on Monday, June 14 released a statement disclosing funeral arrangement for its leader.

The Ministry stated that though Prophet TB Joshua has been taken home to be with the Lord, nothing will stop the work of God at SCOAN from moving on, stressing;

Prophet TB Joshua may be absent in the body but he is present in the spirit (Colossians 2:5).  Indeed, God is even more powerful at distance!

The statement also revealed that he will be buried at the premises of Synagogue Church of All Nations Church in Ikotun, Lagos state.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

Good Morning and Win Today! Dear SCOAN and Emmanuel TV family all over the world, we appreciate your continued prayers, love and support.

We know you are aware that our father in the Lord, Prophet TB Joshua, has been taken home to be with the Lord. We want to assure you that nothing will stop the work of God at The SCOAN from moving on. Prophet TB Joshua may be absent in the body but he is present in the spirit (Colossians 2:5). Indeed, God is even more powerful at distance!

We are currently preparing for the week-long service from Monday 5th to Sunday 11th July 2021 in honour of Prophet TB Joshua’s life and legacy. He will be laid to rest at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria.

All services will be broadcast live on Emmanuel TV. The services which will be open to the public will be communicated to you at the appropriate time.

As our father in the Lord, Prophet TB Joshua says, “When we close our eyes to all things in this world, we shall open them in a world of glory.”

Emmanuel – God is with us. Jesus is Lord!

The announcement was made shortly after a family source told newsmen that the burial of  the clergyman will take place between July 5 and July 9.

The family decision is contrary to the expectation of monarch of Arigidi Akoko, Oba Yisa Olanipekun, and some other traditional rulers in the Akoko area, who wanted the late pastor buried in his hometown, Arigidi Akoko.

Traditional rulers were of the opinion that if the late cleric was taken to his hometown for burial, it would further give the town global recognition.

They said the deceased’s worshippers all over the world would want to visit it to see his tomb and would also make the church to continue the project already embarked upon by the late founder.

However, the ministry has now confirmed that TB Joshua will be buried in his church premises in Lagos state.
