Synagogue Church: Cleric Tasks African Leaders on Repositioning, Dignity of Continent
Segun James
The Senior Pastor and Leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Pastor Evelyn Joshua, has charged African leaders to work together for the unity of purpose as well as reposition themselves in order to realise the full potential and dignity of the African continent.
Joshua made this call at the just concluded two-day crusade organised by SCOAN held at the Kesarani Moi International Stadium in Nairobi, Kenya.
Also, the church in a statement signed by Mr. Dare Adejumo, said that the crusade was attended by various personalities, including leaders of governments from across many African countries, Pastor Joshua stated that Africa is a beautiful continent and well-endowed by God and that if its leaders could understand the enormous grace of God for the continent by working together in love and unity of purpose, the world would watch Africa rise beyond imaginations.
According to her, “God has destined the continent for a great and unique purpose in creation, and the time for the continent to rise is ripe. Our leaders must rise and break all the shackles that fetter the continent down above all myopic interests.”
The wife of late Prophet T B Joshua, who was speaking under the influence of Holy Spirit, which manifested in healing and deliverances taking place simultaneously, challenged the current leaders on the continent to know that they were not in power by accident, stating: “You are there by God’s agenda at this time to reposition the continent for a better humanity, and you must not fail.”
The cleric urged them to come together in a better form and work in unity, peace, and progress as the only way to curb all myriad of problems confronting the continent, adding: “You should be your brother’s keeper. Let us be strong in brotherhood. This is a beautiful continent that God has given unto us, and if we unite in peace and love, the world will watch Africa rise. The world will watch us rise, all to the glory of God.”
Pastor Evelyn Joshua, the widow of the world-renowned preacher, philanthropist, and televangelist, Prophet Joshua, is also the International Coordinator of Emmanuel Global Network (Emmanuel TV), the charity arm of the church which has provided relief worth several millions of dollars in cash, food items, schools, hospital equipment among others to the needy and the less privileged all across the world, including disaster areas, such as Europe, America, Middle East, many African countries such as Zambia, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria.
She prayed for African leaders, asking that God would strengthen them for enormous tasks ahead for the continent and the glory of God.
Some of the dignitaries at the crusade included Honourable Florence Mutua, a Kenyan parliamentarian; Antoinette Kupulu, a minister of government from DRC, Evelyn Epuyo, wife of Vice President; Honourable Kasiele Lumumba Justine, Minister of the office of Ugandan Prime Minister; Hon Martin Moshisho, a Kenyan Deputy Governor, and Mrs. Julianah Mukala wife of an ambassador among many other dignitaries.
