Reasons for division in Christianity

reasons for division in christianity

There are many reasons for division in Christianity which we shall be unfolding in our writing. We must start by saying that the rate of division, confusion, disagreement, and misunderstanding in today’s Church is more than alarming. However, we are not saying here that the early Churches were free from these issues. When we read Apostle Paul’s 1st letter to the Corinthians, we hear him calling Christians to cease all forms of division in the holy body of Christ. He further explains that as Christians, we are all one in the body of Christ within which there is no division but unity.

Hence, we can say without doubt that no man or woman in possession of the Holy Spirit can encourage division in the house of God. Division is not God’s Holy will for us. My spirit weeps upon seeing the division in Church today. And for sure God is not happy about this. Instead of us loving one another and encouraging each other in the Christian race, we are rather doing the contrary. Among Jesus’s last words, we can find that which He said “I leave you with my peace”. We are to remain in this peace and join hands to overcome the evil powers of this world. Our Christian fight is not against flesh and blood, rather it is against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world (Ephesians 6).

Unfortunately these days, we rather allow these wicked forces in a state of freedom while we focus on fighting internal fights with our Christian brothers. By creating room for division and hatred, we are opening doors for the devil to come in and defeat us. That’s why Jesus Christ said that a kingdom that divides itself into small groups that fight each other won’t last (Matthew 12:25).

Major reasons for division in Christianity

Jesus Christ took the human nature an lived among men on Earth. During this time, He regularly prayed that all His followers might cultivate a special unity which will act as a testimony of His Good News. Unfortunately, this is not what we are practicing today. Rather, the so called Christians are fighting each other. As if this was not enough we see spiritual leaders fighting each other as well. It’s not strange these days to find a pastor criticizing, judging, or condemning his fellow pastor. The world perceives Christians as people who are fun of exhibiting divisions and squabbles. Christians claim to have one master, savior, and teacher which is Jesus Christ yet they have thousands of different groups, denominations, and churches. Such behaviors get the non Christians highly confused about the subject of Jesus Christ. By so doing, we are rather repelling them from Jesus Christ rather than drawing them to Him.

Before we present the major reasons for division in Christianity, let’s first get a rundown of the main branches in Christianity. Modern Christianity is made up of three main branches which are Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, and Protestantism. The Eastern Orthodox denomination is popularly practiced in the Eastern European countries as well as Russia. On the other hand, the Protestant and Roman Catholic denominations are highly spread around the four corners of the world. The structure, belief, and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are the same everywhere on Earth. However, this is not the case with the protestant denomination. By Protestant Churches here, we are referring to the Lutherans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists, Pentecostals, Baptists and several other groups. We must add here that there are some Churches that class themselves under the Protestant branch but do not actually fall under a specific denomination. Let’s now give the reasons for division in Christianity.

Pride

Being a Christian does not mean that you are free from pride. Rather we as Christians are called upon by Christ to overcome this Spiritual killer called pride. Most divisions in Church today did arise due to the pride within spiritual leaders who felt more important than others. Hence, we could not omit pride from the different reasons for division in Christianity .As a teacher of the gospel, if you are not careful, you’ll turn to develop a feeling of being more important than those who do not have a deep understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ. If you do not address this issue at an early state, it will lead you to being proud there by offending God and grieving the Holy Spirit.

Such a character was not sensed in the lifetime of Jesus Christ and His early Apostles. Although, they had some little misunderstandings and arguments on certain Christian matters, non of them brought the need for division talk less of promoting division. Rather, they jointly lifted their hands in unity to God to assist them through the Holy Spirit to teach and do only what was right. And we can read from the Acts of the Apostles the great things that God was doing in their lives.

As Christians, we are not supposed to look high on ourselves while putting others t inferior positions. Rather, we should lower ourselves and execute the mission which was given to us by Jesus Christ to be our brother’s keeper. Jesus Christ our leader was on Earth as a servant and not a master. That’s why we perceive Him washing the feet of His Apostles. This is a great example of humility for us. Whatever the case, anyone who lowers himself before God and men will be lifted while those who lift themselves will be brought to ground level (Philippians 2:5-11).

Misunderstanding

One of the reasons for division in Christianity is misunderstanding. People are more likely to receive and interpret the same piece of message in different ways. While some people will be getting it rightly, others will be getting it the other way round. This is the case with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Many have misinterpreted the gospel and have created lots of misunderstandings in the Christian Church. When these issues are not properly addressed, they’ll end up creating division and new denominations.

In the same light, many people have been guided by the Holy Spirit to pick out certain truths in the Bible which are vital for the building of the Christian Church. Unfortunately, not all leaders accept these enlightenment. Many reject them without first testing as recommended in the Bible (1 Thessalonians 5:21). When rejected, it becomes a source of issue which can generate a possible division at any moment. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit that reveals the complete truth about God (John 14:17). That’s why we’ll recommend that you read our article on How to receive the Holy Spirit which will guide you to all truth about God through the Good news Bible.

Difference in personality, talents, and passions

The difference in personality, talents, and passions also fall among the reasons for division in Christianity. While some people are more inclined towards worshiping God through their minds, others prefer to do so artistically or creatively. Unfortunately, these little differences have also contributed to division in the Church. I guess this is because our faith is still too little else we won’t allow Christ to focus in little details like this.

Apostle Paul in one of his letters to the Christian Church said that there are so many ways of worshiping which all bring glory to the one and only God. If God has blessed a person with great singing skills, why do you want to stop him/her from exercising this talent for the glory of God. The weak in faith also exist in the house of God, but are we suppose to argue with them about their personal believes? Apostle Paul asked us not to do so because solid food is meant for the adults while milk is meant for Children. We should rather encourage our brothers and sisters in the faith and pray for them than argue with them.

Tradition

Tradition has greatly played a major role in Church division. That’s why we hereby include it among the reasons for division in Christianity. While some people do things in Church just because their ancestors did it that way, others prefer to step out and explore new methods of worshiping and praising God. Up till date, we still have Churches who follow the procedures or worship which were installed in the early Church. And it has been noticed that those who are not always OK with this way of doing things are more likely to move a way and start a new denomination.

Tradition is good because it helps us to remain on the tracks and foot steps of the early Christians which were close to Jesus Christ. It also saves us from adopting wrong or unpleasant methods of pleasing God. However, other people believe in innovation. They want to experiment and adopt new strategies of worship as the pray and call on the Holy Spirit to help them.

Division according to people

We’ve got a number of individuals who have led to division in the Christian body due to their person points of views. However, some claim to have been directed by the Holy Spirit. Whatever the case, it is not our duty to pass judgement on them. Let’s rather focus on praying that God’s will be done on Earth.

There are lots of examples that will clearly explain this point. Mr John Wesley started a Christian group and movement which is known today as the Methodist Church. This Church is spread across several countries in the world. We also know of the Lutheran denomination which was formed after the death of Martin Luther.

Lack of Knowledge

Upon reading Hosea 4:6, we hear God saying that his people perish because they lack knowledge about the things of His kingdom. In addition, Matthew 22:29 tells us that the Sadducees were in error because they did not know the scriptures. And it is without doubt that the lack of knowledge leads to misunderstandings and divisions among God’s people. Church division and other religious errors often result from the lack of diligently studying the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Acts 17:11 advises us to search the scriptures on daily basis in order to remain in the light of the truth that comes from Jesus Christ.

Studying and being able to quote hundreds of Bible verses does not mean that you have understood what it says and how to handle the Bible (Matthew 4:5-7). Not everyone understands or handles the Bible the way it should be handled. Many modern Christians justify their actions and deeds from the old testament without realizing that Jesus Christ has already accomplished the Old Testament as we can read from Galatians 3:24-25, Hebrews 10:9, and Romans 7:2-6. In addition, some people pick out special verses in the Bible and twist them to meet their evil intentions. They pick a verse concerning a subject matter and omit other verses that are on that same subject in the same chapter there by creating contradictions everywhere. That’s why we could not omit this point from our list on the reasons for division in Christianity.

Jealousy

Jealousy is a chief cause of division in Christianity. We ought to fight this faith killer by name jealousy. The Holy Spirit shares gifts separately as He wills. So let’s not envy anyone’s spiritual gift. If you haven’t been anointed for a purpose do not condemn he/she who has been anointed for that purpose.When we read from 1 Corinthians 12: 28-30 we hear Apostle Paul saying that “In the Church, God has put all in place: in the first place Apostles, in the second place Prophets, and in the third place teachers; then those who perform miracles, then followed by those who are given the power to heal or to help others or to direct them or to speak in strange tongues. They are not all Apostles or Prophets or teachers. Not everyone has the power to work miracles or to heal diseases or to speak in strange tongues or to explain what is said“.

Human religious guides

When we read from Mark 7:8, we hear Jesus Christ reproaching the Pharisees for having substitute the teachings of God with those of men. Till date, we still experience this issue in the modern Church. Division in the Church regularly results from the fact that people have abandoned God’s teachings to teach those invented by men which are not Bionically founded. Many Christians blind-fully accept all kinds of teachings just because they come from a so-called spiritual leader. This is a big mistake in the Church today which must b corrected. That’s why Apostle Paul wrote in Galatians 5:21 that we must test all spirits and teachings with those from Jesus Christ who is our main teacher.

As we can read from Matthew 7:15, a preacher is worth being called God’s servant only when he/she preaches the truth which was revealed by Jesus Christ. Acts 17:11 encourages us to checkout all teachings from the Bible before adopting them because there are many false teachings who are quickly spreading false doctrines like wild bush fire. We ought to strive for the truth and the approval of God and not that of men or our family members. Hence, you should not dwell in error just because your loved ones are dwelling in it. When we read Matthew 10:34-37, we are made to know that as Christians, we should always follow Jesus Christ even if it means forgoing our loved ones.

This narrows us down to the end of our article on the reasons for division in Christianity today. God’s Holy Will for us is that we should fight and reject division in the body of Christ. We should rather prioritize unity and love while encouraging each other in winning the Christian race. As human beings, we are bound to have little misunderstandings, but let’s find midpoints of agreement in order to preserve the love and unity of Christ. If we continuously keep on dividing ourselves in the body of Christ, we won’t be able to stand firm when the enemy shall strike. For more information on this subject matter, we’ll recommend that you read our article on the Causes of divisions.

Unification of world Christianity (The Unification Church)

Unification of world Christianity

The unification of world Christianity terms up from the Unification Church. This church is also known as the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. It is a religious movement which was founded in Pusan, South Korea. It was founded by Reverend Sun Myung Moon by the year 1954. This church claims to teach a unique Christian theology. Over the years, this association has developed and led to lots of controversies in the Christian faith. They are also well known around the world for their mass weddings. Many people refer to them as the “Moonies” although the church seems not to be very ok with this term.

How the unification of World Christianity or Unification Church came about by Sun Myung Moon?  

Just as we previously mentioned, the founder of the unification church is Sun Myung Moon. He was born in 1920 from a Christian family. Sun Myung Moon grew up in the Presbyterian church. Unfortunately, he did not last long in this church as he was excommunicated for heresy. According to him, while he was still a teenager, he was given the task of completing Jesus’s unfinished work. And upon accepting the call, he stepped out and started preaching. This task led him into lots of trouble and persecutions from the government. However, he persisted up till the extend of starting a church which has grown popular around the world.

Should you trust the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of world Christianity?

Personally I don’t like to intervene in the lives of people who claim to have been sent by God. God has not made me a Judge over them neither has he given me the authority to speak against them. But just as every Christian, we are called upon to point out the truth using the Holy Bible which contains God’s teachings. Reverend Sun Myung Moon claims to have received a task from God since birth to complete the unfinished work of Jesus Christ. He is trying to say here that Jesus Christ did not finish his work. I’m sure we are all on phase up to this point. Are you also ok with the fact that Jesus Christ did not finish his work? As for me, I’m ready to put up my life in defense of the fact that Jesus Christ completed his work on Earth.

You might wonder why I sound so certain about my convictions that Jesus Christ eventually finished his work. The Bible is y source of information, strength and hope to see God through Jesus Christ. I’m advising you to do likewise. That’s why I’ll strive to pour more light on this false belief coming from the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. Let’s open our Bibles to the Gospel of John 19:30. The verse is very clear in saying that Jesus Christ shouted loud to the hearing of men and God that “His work on Earth is Finish”. The Bible says that it was only when he said that he had fully accomplished his work on Earth that God the Father gave him permission to die.

The Unification Church brings false doctrines

The whole truth is that Jesus Christ could not die without completing his work on Earth. That’s why the Bible says in the Gospel of John that the Jews, Pharisees, and teachers of the Law had tried killing Jesus Christ on about 3 times without success. The Scripture even goes up to saying that they could not killing him because he had to accomplish what God sent him for. In short it was not his time. And we can see that Jesus Christ finished the work assigned to him and even prayed for us the unborn Christians before being arrested. So I say with all confidence, anointing, and power received from Jesus Christ to preach the gospel that every doctrine that claims Jesus Christ did not finish his work is definitely a false doctrine on Earth and in Heaven. May God have mercy on their founders and help them to realize their mistakes so as to stop leading His children astray.

Read your Bible

It pains me to see Christians easily led astray by false doctrines even when they sleep day and night with the Bible on their head bed. I feel like saying that the Christians of old who had no Bible were much better than us today. The Bible says that there is no teacher apart from Jesus Christ. So if I stand in front of you in the name of the Gospel, I must completely reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ and nothing else. Not even one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ ever taught a gospel which was not from Jesus Christ talk less of bringing a new one in the name of completing his teachings. And so how can we blind fully follow people who are trying to make a name for themselves through Jesus Christ.

How Judgement will look like

As Christians, we should always keep in mind that religious leaders will not answer for our sins on the day of Judgement. Everyone will be held responsible for their wrongs and shortcomings. If found guilty, you’ll be sent to dwell in hell for eternity. If found innocent through Christ, you’ll be sent to dwell in heaven for eternity. And the moment everyone is responsible for their acts, it’s each and everyone’s responsibility to learn and know what Jesus Christ is truly teaching through the Four Gospels. Listen what your Spiritual leader is saying but always make sure that what they are saying is in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ. The gospel is at the reach of everyone, that’s why you should not allow people carry titles and mislead you.

Always remember that spiritual leaders are not very different from us and they’ll be judged just as everyone. They’ll be called upon to answer their acts as well. They are not Holy Men and Women. They do not have the full or complete understanding of God’s ways. They are not Gods. It’s true that we all owe respect to our spiritual leaders but we must all make sure that we execute only what they teach in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Sun Myung Moon of the unification church or the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity is a mere human like you and me. He’ll answer for his sins just as you and me. That’s why you should not blind fully follow him without testing hi teachings with the standard and true teaching of Jesus Christ. If he teaches anything different from what Jesus Christ taught, then he’s leading you.

The controversial facts about the unification church

We’ll start by saying that unlike Christians who believe in one messiah, Jesus Christ the way, truth, and life that leads to God the father, they believe in many messiahs. Yes, you heard me right. The Unification of world Christianity church believes in more than one messiah. This is definitely horrible to think. This spiritual entity is indeed one of the most powerful business empires that pumps in money to Rev Sun Myung Moon’s account and that of his extended family.

We must notify you here that the movement all started as the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of world Christianity and later changed in the 1990s to the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. Unfortunately, it has attracted lots of members worldwide in over 100 countries. But I believe that when people will start reading their Bibles, many will withdraw from this association. Another controversial fact about them is their ritual of choosing life partners for their members. They work towards randomly picking members from different angles of the world in and joining them in marriage. As they believe that this is a way to make the world one without boundaries. 

The Believe of God’s Kingdom on Earth

As if the above points were not enough, there is still much to say about them. Unlike Christians who hope for an eternal and better life after death from Jesus Christ, they rather believe that Jesus Christ came and established God’s kingdom on Earth. And that it is unto them to inherit and live this kingdom. This is clearly another controversial point of view which goes against lots of biblical verses. For sure, anyone who regularly reads his/her Bible will realize that this theory or belief does not make sense.

Conclusion

This brings us to the end of our article on the Unification of world Christianity also known as the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. If you are serious about being a Christian, it’s not by men that you become one neither is it by men that you gain eternal life. Rather go after the Gospels of Jesus Christ and study them in order to understand what it takes to follow God and gain eternal life after death. Jesus said it clearly that many false teachers will come after him, so we ought to be careful not to be misled. It’s not because a religion has a few ethics in it that makes it come from God. At times ethics is used as a cover in false religions. Once you start getting involved, you’ll see and learn but different things. We’ll recommend that you read our article on How to repent from such doctrines and that on How to receive the Holy Spirit.

Upon His departure from Earth, He promised to be with us for all times. This His promise is fulfilled in the spiritual realm and not in the physical. That’s why you can’t ask to see him physically.

For those who do not know, Nigeria is one of the African countries. She hails from Okala Okpuno which is situated in Oshimili Northern part of the country. She came on Earth as a twin, but unfortunately, her twin brother is late. May his soul rest in perfect peace. This beautiful woman was born from the family of Mr and Mrs Nicholas Akabude during the year 1968. From this year, we can regularly calculate Evelyn Joshua age in order to remain updated.

Evelyn Joshua educational background

There is much to say when it comes to Evelyn Joshua educational background. Evelyn started her primary school in Ezi, a town in the Delta State of Nigeria. She started by attending St Emecheta Primary school. She did not complete her primary studies in this school. Rather, she moved to Lagos by the year 1977 where she completed her primary education at the Orile Primary School in Oshodi. It was still in this very vicinity that she underwent and completed her secondary education. Her studies equipped her with the necessary skills to pick up something doing. She came into contact with her husband by the time she had already started working for the Nigerian Distilleries which is situated in Ota. By then, she was attending the Assemblies of God’s church. After her marriage with the man of God, she attended some management courses in Ghana.

Prophet T.B. Joshua marriage proposal to Evelyn Joshua

According to Evelyn Joshua, the man of God proposed marriage to her within their first 45 minutes of meeting for the first time. This marriage proposal came when she was 22 years old. You’ll obviously be asking yourself how they came to know each other. It all started when God’s mighty power came upon Joshua who was residing in Ikotun-Egbe. Everyone in that area was marveling about the wonders which God was doing through His Prophet. It was by then, that Evelyn visited her sister at Ikotun-Egbe. Upon arriving at her sister’s place, she learned about this prophet whom everyone seemed to be talking good of.

She heard about the prophet and how he brought spiritual light and guidance to the lives of many. At this particular moment, she needed spiritual guidance and taught it wise to make a visit to the prophet with her sister. They agreed and went forth to beseech spiritual guidance from the man of God. However, on their arrival, he was not in his office. Perhaps he was praying in the mountain as this is one of his hobbies. This did not discourage Evelyn but gave her more courage to beseech assistance from the prophet. She returned home and a few months later, she decided to visit the prophet again. And behold she met the prophet this time around. And this is the encounter that made her Prophet T.B. Joshua wife.

First encounter between Prophet T.B. Joshua and Evelyn Joshua

Evelyn successfully encountered the prophet upon failure to meet him the first time, she was welcomed. She was very surprised to find out that the man of God was rather young. She says that she was expecting to see an old man with some long white beards. Unfortunately, that was not the case. As she entered his office, he picked up a paper on which he had previously written a word from God on it. This word was “Ejide” meaning twin. Evelyn was deeply shocked when she saw this because that single word said many things about her life. She came as a twin although her twin brother is late. In addition, the man of God told her many things about her life. Some of which are those she knew and those she knew nothing about.

This overwhelmed her with Joy and happiness. And she knew that she had made a true man of God who could give her spiritual direction. After discussing for about 45 minutes, the man of God proposed to get married to her. She says that although this was strange to her, her heart accepted. And it was later that she questioned how he can meet a woman for the first time and propose her marriage. It was then that the man of God told her of a vision he had some days backward concerning her as his wife. This proposal led them to where they are today.

Prophet T.B. Joshua marriage

Concerning prophet T.B. Joshua marriage, we’ll say that after the proposal, he got married to Evelyn. This happened a few months after their first encounter. Although Evelyn found the proposal frightful and strange, she affirms today that she did not make a wrong decision. She’s happily married to the man of God and they are heavily blessed. They’ve been enjoying their marriage for over 25 years today. Prophet T.B. Joshua marriage is presently serving as a role model for many. Out of his experience and the Grace of God in his life, he regularly provides tips for married couples to live peacefully and happily.

Prophet T.B. Joshua wife and children

Prophet T.B. Joshua marriage with Evelyn is blessed by God with three beautiful children. All three biological children of Prophet T.B. Joshua are females. Unlike others who complain and seek for solutions to get male children, it is not the case with this man of God. The prophet and his wife are satisfied with their children as they deeply thank God. They are deeply convinced that their family is complete. They thank God for their beautiful and intelligent children.

Their first daughter is called Sarah. She studied Law and successfully graduated from the London School of Economics. Their second daughter is called Promise and she followed the footsteps of her sister to the London School of Economics. While in the school, Promise studied international relations and politics. The third daughter’s information has not yet been disclosed to the public. The biological children of Prophet T.B. Joshua are all working towards making him happy.

What the Prophet does

The Prophet is using the power in the name of Jesus Christ to heal the sick, set the captives free, open the eyes of the blind, open the ears of the deaf, loosen the tongue of the dumb, and above all teach the gospel of salvation. Perhaps you’ll want to read our article on how to visit the SCOAN. Each time that people persecute him, the power of God in his life is doubled.

He has helped millions of people on Earth be it financially, spiritually, or morally. Yet many are turning to fight him. Whatever the case, the Bible says that we should test every spirit to know if it comes from God. That’s why you should not condemn him base on what others are saying. Read your Bible and with the help of the Holy Spirit, listen to him speak to see by yourself if the teachings are not biblical.

Hence, if you have any problem which is more than you, seek God’s face. And one of the ways to seek God’s face is to consult his prophets. For sure, God will make a way where there seems to be none in your life. New doors will certainly open. There is no problem that Jesus Christ cannot solve. There is no sickness that Jesus Christ cannot heal. There is no infirmity that Jesus Christ cannot readjust. Jesus Christ is the solution to all our problems. We should always turn to Him in our moments of joy and sadness. He will welcome us, comfort us, and relieve us from all pains and hardships. Also, read Prophet TB Joshua’s Biography.

The Synagogue Church of All Nations abbreviated as SCOAN is a worldwide Christian ministry which is leaded by Prophet T.B Joshua and supervised by Jesus Christ Himself. With Jesus Christ at the head, every impossibility is made possible according to the will of God. This generates questions like how to visit the SCOAN, how to visit the synagogue church of all nations, and how to meet Prophet T.B Joshua.

The Synagogue church of all nations is situated in the city of Lagos within Nigeria which is one of the west African countries. Being an Apostolic, Prophetic, evangelic, and pastoral Christian center, you can be 100% certain that if you connect yourself to them with faith through any means be it physical or spiritual your situation will change in the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit.

It is not strange neither would you be the first because millions of people have received their miracles through faith by simply praying along with Prophet T.B. Joshua through social medias, televisions, reading his books, and using the morning water which he has blessed through the authority that Jesus Christ gave him. The synagogue church of all nations stands out today as a Christian ministry with uncountable numbers of miracles, wonders, healings, deliverance and above all wined souls for God.

Apart from connecting to the SCOAN through any of the above mentioned ways, you can as well find a way on how to meet Prophet T.B. Joshua by visiting the SCOAN as an international visitor. In order to make a successful journey to Lagos in Nigeria and meet with Prophet TB Joshua as an international visitor, you will first have to schedule your visit in advance before making any journey. Please you must not make any preparations to the SCOAN without first scheduling and receiving a confirmation letter from them that they are waiting to receive you. If you do otherwise, you’ll be running the risk of not meeting Prophet tb Joshua or being received at the SCOAN. While some people contest this procedure, we simply see it as a way to remain organized while doing God’s work given that millions of people around the world want and are asking how to visit the SCOAN.

If the procedure is not controlled or well organized, we shall find ourselves in a situation where there is no accommodation for the visitors hence allowing them in the hands of theft and rubbery. In addition, Prophet T.B. Joshua being a human being can’t be everywhere at the same time talk less of receiving everyone. So let us get into our main subject matter of how to meet prophet T.B. Joshua or how to visit the SCOAN (how to visit the synagogue church of all nations).

How to visit the synagogue church of all nations as an international visitor

If you are serious about how to meet Prophet T.B. Joshua as an international visitor who wants to partake in a service at the SCOAN, you’ll have to start by scheduling your visit with them. You can do the scheduling through the following steps:

Prepare answers for your personal health questions

If you are an international visitor who wants to apply for a place at the SCOAN with intentions of staying in the church’s premises, you’ll obviously need to answer a few health questions when submitting your application at Visit Us. This should not bother you because many people reach out to Prophet T.B Joshua for either one health problem or the other. This is just one of the reasons to visit the SCOAN. There are many more, some people upon hearing the testimonies of others simply want to come and witness the power of Jesus Christ with their own eyes and give thanks to God. Others see a visit to the synagogue church of all nations as a spiritual retreat which will fortify them to overcome the different challenges that lay ahead in their Christian journey. Others come to give testimonies of what Jesus Christ has done in their lives through Prophet T.B. Joshua. Many come in order to put an end to their evil practices and get delivered from satanic bondages. Others come to seek spiritual guidance while others come to be delivered and freed from addictions.

We cannot forget the point that others come to test and trial Prophet T.B Joshua while others come to find reasons to criticize him. Whatever be your reason for visiting the SCOAN, just have in mind that with God, you reap what you plant. We must also add that these were only few reasons why people visit the SCOAN. There are many more that we can’t fully uncover.

Fill out the online questionnaire

The online questionnaire is your visitation application which you can easily access through the SCOAN website at Visit Us. Through this link, you’ll be applying for the international visitor program. It is worth noting that there are several ways through which people visit the SCOAN base on different objectives, goals and geographical regions. You must always base yourself on truth when filling it and remember to fully answer all the questions being asked as this will permeate the Emmanuel team to review your application and decide if they should welcome you or get back to you for more information.

Before stepping in to fill this form, keep your basic statistic information (name, nationality, age, and gender) handy together with your contact information (e-mail address and telephone number). You’re also recommended to write down the contact information of at least one of your relatives. You’ll also be asked if you are suffering from a particular illness. If yes, you’ll need to tell them how intense it is and for how long it has been disturbing you. You’ll also be asked if you are HIV positive. If you plan going there with one or more persons, each person will have to fill his/her own questionnaire form separately and indicate at the end of the form at the comments section.

Wait to receive a confirmation before making any journey to the SCOAN

Successfully filling and sending the questionnaire is the first step. The second step has to do with waiting patiently for the SCOAN officials to review your questionnaire and get back to you with an answer on if you can come and when you can come. Never make any preparations to travel unless you have received a confirmation from the official SCOAN members to do so. This is to say that you must not consider making any travel plans talk less of booking a flight without previously receiving a confirmation letter that the SCOAN awaits you as an international visitor.

Apply for an international passport

Apply for a Visa to enter Nigeria

Remember to apply for a Visa to enter Nigeria only after the SCOAN officials have contacted you to come. Every person residing out of the west African countries will need a Visa to enter Nigeria. Don’t panic because the process of getting a Visa into Nigeria won’t be the hardest thing to do. You’ll simply need to apply for a tourist visa through the Nigerian Embassy. In applying for your Visa, remember to include your official invitation letter with the visa application.

When applying for the tourist visa into Nigeria, you’ll have to send your application and fees to the Nigerian Immigration Service Website at   https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/pages/welcome. After filling and making payments online, you’ll have to print out the form if you are out of the west African countries and submit the hard copy to the Nigerian Embassy in your country together with prove of your initial online payment. You’ll also be requested an amount when depositing the hard copy depending on your country.

Book your flight

Once everything is ready for you to travel. You should schedule your flight with any airline of your choice. After doing this, you will be given information about the journey which you’ll have to communicate to the SCOAN officials so that they can send their members to wait for you at the airport.

Prioritize accommodation within the Church premises to that in the hotels

You are recommended to make arrangements to stay within the church’s premises in one of their established guest rooms. They are well equipped to meet the modern standards of the society. The church premises have family rooms, dormitories, and private rooms from which you can choose depending on your needs. Each of its room is well equipped with a toilet, a hot shower, and an air conditioning system. The church in itself has a large dining room that serves three full meals on daily basis. The church also has a shop from which you can purchase your extra drinks, toiletries, and snacks depending on your personal needs.

How is life in the SCOAN for international visitors

Many people always ask how life looks like at the SCOAN. We will start by saying that there is nothing strange or extraordinary apart from living a Christian life of prayer and experiencing the supernatural power of God. International visitors are usually welcomed for a stay of 5 to 6 days upon arrival on a Wednesday or a Thursday whereby they are invited to attend the visitor’s program. During stay at the SCOAN, visitors can expect to attend several church services, watch testimonial faith building videos that display the supernatural works of God, and listen to lectures from Prophet T.B. Joshua who is the leading founder of the Synagogue Church of all nations. While at the SCOAN, you can visit different prayer grounds, prayer hurts, and carryout lots of spiritual faith building activities.

Choose your cloth’s wisely

In choosing your cloths, you must have in mind that you are visiting a house of prayer and must be dressed decently. You must also take into consideration that Nigeria has a hot and humid climate. Temperatures in Nigeria usually range between 26 and 35 degrees Celsius. Hence, you’ll need something cool, loose, and comfortable if you don’t want to be overheated up.

Come with enough cash to meet up with your extra needs

The synagogue church of all nations will eventually provide you with the basic necessities but they won’t take charge of your extra needs and wants. That’s why you should prepare enough cash for some of your extra needs. While residing at the church’s premises, you’ll need to pay for your internet and telephone facilities. Also remember that anything purchased from the church’s shop must be paid in cash. The synagogue church of all nations accepts payments with different currencies like the dollar, Euro, and pound sterling.

Warning

You must be very careful when asking questions like how to meet with Prophet T.B. Joshua, how to visit the SCOAN or how to visit the synagogue church of all nations. The reason why we are asking you to do so is because there are so many people who are out there roaming the streets and are very much ready to give you answers that will lead to the loss of your hard earned cash into their pockets. Prophet T.B Joshua and the SCOAN have become so popular that many people are creating fake Facebook accounts and websites in his name in order to request for money. You must be wise and make sure that any communication linked to the SCOAN is being carried out through their official website www.scoan.org.

This brings us to the end of our writing on how to meet Prophet T.B. Joshua, and how to visit the synagogue church of all nations (how to visit the SCOAN). We wish you the best in your journey to meet the man of God and we pray that God through His son Jesus Christ grant your heart desires.

Why going to church does not make you a Christian?

“Observe the Sabbath and keep it holy, as I, the Lord your God, have commanded you” – Deuteronomy 5:12

“But now God’s way of putting people right with himself has been revealed. It has nothing to do with Law, even though the Law of Moses and the Prophets gave their witness to it” – Romans 3:21

“Rather, the real Jew is the person who is a Jew on the inside, that is, whose heart has been circumcised, and this is the work of God’s Spirit, not of the written Law. Such a person receives praise from God, not from human beings” – Romans 2:29 

“Some people think that a certain day is more important than other days, while others think that all days are the same. We should each firmly make up our own minds” – Romans 14:5

“For it is not by hearing the law that people are put right with God, but by doing what the law commands” – Romans 2:13

“I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God’s power to save all who believe” – Romans 1:16

“And so, according to the Good News I preach, this is how it will be on that Day when God through Jesus Christ will judge the secret thoughts of all” – Romans 2:16

“Welcome those who are weak in faith, but do not argue with them about their personal opinions. Some people’s faith allows them to eat anything, but the person who is weak in the faith eats only vegetables” – Romans 14:1-2

“For where two or three come together in my name, I am there with them.” – Mathew 18:20

The reason why going to church does not make you a Christian is quite evident. I have overheard people asking questions like can you be a Christian and not go to church? Have you ever asked yourself why going to church does not make you a Christian? The whole truth is that, simply going to church does not make you a Christian. Perhaps it makes you religious but does not make you a believer in Jesus Christ. But are we trying to say here that going to church is wrong? I attest no, that’s not the message we are trying to pass in this writing.

We are simply trying to bring out the difference between a Christian and a religious person. But what do we really mean when we say that the answer to the question of why going to church does not make you a Christian is quite evident? I’ll ask you a few questions which will better help you to understand the message we are trying to pass here:

  • Does visiting the presidency makes you the president? I guess no, it’s rather by playing the political game.
  • Does visiting the garage makes you an automobile engineer? I guess no, it’s rather by taking automobile engineering courses.
  • Does going to the football field makes you a footballer? I guess no, it’s rather by playing football that you are considered a footballer.

If we are ok up to this point, then why do we want to create an exception in God’s house. Just as a footballer and a non-footballer can move to the football field to watch friends play, a Christian and a non-Christian can find themselves in church.

To be a Christian means to follow Jesus Christ while obeying His teachings. It’s not by finding yourself in church that you become a Christian. If you perceive going to church as respecting the 3rd commandment in Deuteronomy 5:12, then you are wrong. The Sabbath as mentioned there has never existed as a Sunday, rather it existed and still exists as Saturday.  But this is not even our problem for the moment because Apostle Paul says in Romans 3:21 that we are not put right with God through the Laws of Moses but through Jesus Christ who fulfilled and revealed the whole truth about pleasing God and gaining eternal life.

Rather we are focus on why simply going to church does not make you a Christian. In bringing more light to this, we can refer to Romans 2:13 whereby Apostle Paul tells us that we are not saved from the fire of hell by simply listening to the teachings of God but by putting these teachings which we hear into practice. That’s why we’ll say that going to church or meeting in a Christian gathering is something very nice as it will permeate you to learn and no more about the teachings of Jesus Christ who said that whenever two or more people are gathered in His name, He is with them and will certainly bless them (Mathew 18:20). But we must say again that by simply hearing his word and not putting it into action does not make you any better than someone who has not received the teachings neither the one who sits at home and reads the Bible but does not apply it.

Instead of dwelling in error by considering our church going duty as one which brings life, it is wise for us to focus on learning and putting into action the gospel of Jesus Christ which represents the one and only truth that leads to God as explained by Apostle Paul in Romans 1:16

Hence it is not by putting more value to Sundays and regularly going to church that makes us safe. While going to church can lead us to being saved by Jesus Christ as we listen to his teachings and put them into action, the process of going to church itself does not bring salvation. Although many people argue that going to church on Sundays is one of the prerequisites to being saved, Apostle Paul encourages us to welcome and not argue with those who consider some days during the week more important than others. In addition, he encourages us to make up our minds about our decisions concerning such while making sure that whatever we are doing, we do it for the glory of God (Romans 14:5)

Since the times of Jesus, Christian gatherings have always been of great importance as they give room for two or more people to sing praises and worship songs to God. It also allows room for the teachings of Jesus Christ. Hence, we encourage everyone to partake in Christian gatherings in order to boost growth in their spiritual lives.

Still in the same light of thinking, Prophet T.B. Joshua of the Synagogue church of all nations (SCOAN) brought more light to this topic by emphasizing that True Christianity is a matter of the heart rather than fulfilling religious observances like regularly attending church every Sunday and reading the Bible in a literal way without being assisted by the Holy Spirit. This is to say that Christianity is more of the heart and that’s why Apostle Paul in Romans 2:16 tells us that God will Judge us from the bottom of our hearts. It is not the physical action of going to church that matters before God, rather it is the heart motive behind the act of going to church that brings a blessing on you. We can clearly perceive this by reading Luke 23:39-43 where Jesus Christ promised eternal life to one of the thieves with whom He was crucified. I don’t think Jesus Christ forgave the thief and gave him eternal life because he was regularly partaking in the church headed by the Apostles. Rather it was the nature of his heart before Jesus Christ. He acknowledged to be a sinner who needed help from Jesus Christ whom he considered God, and indeed Jesus Christ upon seeing his heart granted him life that never finishes. This is in no way to say that we are not to regularly gather as Christians to worship, praise, and learn more about God. It is simply to show the importance of one’s heart in gaining salvation. Jesus Christ during His stay on Earth had always encouraged Christians to love each other and work together towards the same goals thereby showing the importance of a church.

By focusing on Jesus Christ our redeemer, a truly saved person can stand warfare against Satan and his agents. Being Christians mean that we are bound to encounter serious battles and for sure if we are united in the body of Christ as one, it will be very easy to overcome these challenges. These challenges are not aimed at killing us but to make us worthy to receive what God has prepared for us after this life on Earth.
