The founder and general overseer of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet T. B. Joshua, has been named as the 2015 ‘Yoruba Man Of The Year’.
According to PM news, the Nigerian prophet was honoured by the ‘Egbe Omo Oodua Parapo’, a coalition of 35 pan-Yoruba groups drawn from all over the world.
Following the group’s annual conference in the United States of America, Akinwale Adewunmi, the chairman of the award committee, said:
“We give this award to Pastor Joshua out of over 500 nominees screened by the Planning Committee of the Association.”
In his speech, Adewunmi commended T.B. Joshua for adding “honour and admiration to the Yoruba nation” and described him as “a Yoruba man with a global image in the annals of charity”.
He also noted that the prophet’s charitable projects span 45 countries and help millions of people irrespective of their religion or ethnicity.
“Pastor Joshua started as a poor boy. He had no access to education neither did he enjoy any outstanding benefit from his society, yet he built himself. He educated himself and today stands out like a Professor in the greater university of life and living,” he said.
Praising T.B. Joshua for improving Nigeria’s image abroad, the committee chairman said:
“Across the world, many ask travellers from Nigeria: ‘Oh, you are From Pastor T.B. Joshua’s country?’ ”
He noted that the SCOAN is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the South West, adding that many foreigners would have never visited Nigeria if not for this church.
The prophet, who is also popular to the fame of his Christian television station Emmanuel TV, received the commendation from IrohinOdua, the first pan-Yoruba news outlet.

Science Watch ;Wow ! Wow ! Once again Science is put to shame. View The TB Joshua 2016 Korea miracles on YouTube and Dstv CH360. The evidence that GOD “so loved the world” cannot be disputed. What greater modern day evidence of GODS love for the world through Jesus Christ. Science has brought is much suffering through medicine and Evolution. Look at the powerful, practical solutions Jesus is demonstrating in 2016.
Science Watch;Jesus Christ revealed who Prophet TB Joshua is to His beloved servant, late Prophet (Dr.) Akin Adewole, shepherd of the Celestial Church of Christ, Opopo Igbala Parish, Ikola Road, Ipaja, LagosIn 1995, the late prophet prophesied that “a young man from Nigeria would be highly anointed, such that all the nations of the world would embrace the mighty God through him.” He said a time would come that the Synagogue Church of All Nations will become a Jerusalem in Nigeria, such that the number of foreigners would outnumber the Nigerians attending the church. It is pertinent to note that at this stage The Synagogue Church of All Nations was relatively unknown on the international stage. However, going by the happenings in The Synagogue Church of All Nations at present, one can convincingly say that most of these prophecies about T.B Joshua and his ministry have come to pass. Today, The Synagogue Church of All Nations Sunday services seat up to thousands of regular worshipers and visitors alike, with countless thousands more viewing through Emmanuel TV. The thronging to The Synagogue at Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos, Nigeria, by pilgrims from many nations of the world significantly justifies the appellation, ‘Church of All Nations.’ These truth-seekers are not just sun and fun-seekers or mere tourists to Africa, but are with a mission of hunger and thirst for righteousness. More than any other church in Nigeria, The SCOAN boasts of many foreigners among its workers and worshippers. Notable world leaders from all walks of life have visited The Synagogue – and with this herd, it may not be long before foreigners actually outnumber Nigerians in this unique ministry.
Science WatchWhy Foreign pastors went to Nigeria ?Having watched many miraculous healings on videos from the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, Nigeria a group of three New Zealand pastors and four evangelists including myself went to the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, Nigeria and lived there for nine days and nights. We wanted to satisfy ourselves that T.B. Joshua is a man of God and miracles were in fact taking place.Source from: http://www.doveministries.com/category/store/tb-joshua/about-tb-joshuaWhat we saw :Blind eyes opened, cripples walking and dozens of testimonies from people who had been healed of HIV and other diseases.Some of us received healings ourselves.Spiritual overview:We heard the name of Jesus Christ being continuously uplifted, the Gospel, repentance and salvation being continuously preached and the work of the Holy Spirit honoured.After nine days at the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations we concluded that T.B. Joshua is indeed a man of God and these are the works of God.Group from New Zealand:Among our group there were three senior pastors, two evangelists and two men leading major Christian work in New Zealand. Between us we had 180 years of ministry.Our conclusion was that this is truly a work of God.
Science WatchA more factual account from someone who has visited the Church of the Synagogue is written by Professor Willem Ouweneel, a prominent Dutch theologian who holds doctorates in biology, philosophy and theology. He lectures in Universities in Switzerland, Holland, South Africa and Germany. He is of Brethren background but is thoroughly satisfied of the genuineness of the miracles and vindicates the theology of Prophet Joshua.Are you satisfied the healing miracles are genuine?Absolutely.One cannot watch the above videos without being convinced of their authenticity. Apart from which I saw healing miracles for myself when he prayed for the sick.Four of the seven members of our team also received healings.What sort of a man is he to speak to?He is extremely humble and continually gives the glory to God.What is the attitude of the church members?They display the fruit of the Holy Spirit to an extent that I have rarely seen before. One has a sense of being loved, there is a sense of joy, of peace, gentleness, temperance, faith and meekness.
Science Watch; Prophet TB Joshua critics fail both in Nigeria and elsewhere?Yes, as a result of this the Religious Monitoring Group have investigated Joshua and the Synagogue, Church of All Nations and have concluded that he is a man of God and that his work is of the Holy Spirit.His chief critic was denounced by this watchdog group as morally bankrupt and an adulterer who has political ambitions.The overseas critics are relying on hearsay evidence and none of them have personally visited the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations.
