The service commenced with a powerful multicultural praise session, featuring the mass choir leading worship in diverse languages, including Swahili, French, English, and Ashanti, underscoring the church’s mandate to transcend cultural and national barriers.

A Message of Resilience and National Prayer

Leading the monumental celebration was Pastor Evelyn Joshua, wife of the late General Overseer of SCOAN. In her address, which resonated deeply with the event’s theme “Recounting His Faithfulness.” she expressed profound gratitude to God for sustaining the ministry and its millions of members and partners through a year marked by global and domestic challenges. Her message centered on the virtues of resilience and unwavering trust in divine providence.

“We appreciate God for His preservation and faithfulness,” Pastor Evelyn declared to the massive congregation. “Our prayer today is for God’s peace, wisdom, and mercy upon this nation in these challenging times. This service is a reminder that thanksgiving is the ultimate spiritual surrender to the Almighty.”

The congregation immediately responded, uniting in fervent intercession, lifting prayers specifically for Nigeria’s political stability, economic revival, and the strengthening of national unity.

Global Convocation of Grateful Hearts

The Annual Thanksgiving has solidified its place as a cornerstone of SCOAN’s spiritual identity, often described as a worldwide convocation of grateful hearts.

Among the notable international delegates was Dr. Patrick Kpashagsi from Uganda, who spoke on the service’s significance. “Prophet T.B. Joshua founded this ministry on divine instruction, and Pastor Evelyn has remained faithful to that vision,” he stated. “For SCOAN, Thanksgiving is the very heartbeat of our relationship with God—it is how we surrender in gratitude.”
