No more agreement with Satan!” Declares a man delivered from the kingdom of darkness to God’s marvelous light.
During the Sunday service of November 24, 2024, at The Synagogue Church of all Nations SCOAN, yet another spectacular thing happened right in The Synagogue that shook the whole world: a man named Confidence vomited pins after receiving an anointed touch as Pastor Evelyn Joshua ministered. As the man lay on the floor, he asked for help. “There are so many other things inside me; please help me, woman of God,” he begged. Acknowledging the power of God, Pastor Evelyn Joshua announced that the man would be staying behind for further deliverance. In the course of the week, the man, who goes by the name of Confidence, vomited a few other objects as the deliverance power coursed through him.
On December 1, 2024, Confidence returned to The SCOAN Auditorium to testify. He began by telling of how he had approached an occult group that was going to make him rich. “I wanted to escape the poverty of my family,” he said. The occult group performed a ritual involving a ram. Confidence returned home with the head of the ram in a calabash. “I was to offer the sacrifice of a cock to the deity in the calabash so I could get anything I wanted,” Confidence recalled. As a gospel music singer, Confidence had been looking to ‘blow’ in his career. One day, however, a menstruating young woman got into the room where the calabash was kept. “The calabash started boiling furiously,” he said. When Confidence called the head of the occult group, he was told that he shouldn’t have allowed the woman into the room. Later that day, Confidence got rid of the calabash. “One of my three big dogs died that night,” Confidence recalled.
Confidence didn’t give up, however; so, he confided in a friend who took him to another occult person in a neighboring African country. There he engaged in so many ritual practices that involved going to a graveyard and getting betrothed to a spirit wife. “I had been in desperate search for fame and money,” Confidence said, “so I didn’t mind the rituals.” But Confidence saw only a marginal improvement in his finances and career. So, he further dug in. “The man said I would have to undergo another ritual involving a coffin,” Confidence went on. For one hour the young man underwent what was called ‘soul loss’, during which time he took leave of his senses. On returning to reality, Confidence saw loads of money in different currencies. But there was a condition to accessing the money: Confidence was to sacrifice a member of his family. “I wasn’t ready to do that, so I left,” he continued. Expectedly, the occult group tormented Confidence in the dream.
Instead of giving in to that group, however, Confidence allowed himself to be led to yet another occult group. Meanwhile, Confidence’s spirit wife continued to follow him. In the bid to part ways with her, Confidence got introduced to another occult group. “I was asked to produce a goat and a ram, as well as over a million naira,” he said. But the new group still wasn’t able to free Confidence from the spirit wife despite all the strange rituals that he underwent again, causing him to see huge snakes and dead people. Then, yet another friend introduced Confidence to another ritualists’ enclave, where he was married to another spirit – this time, a river spirit.
After this latest ritual, ‘important calls’ started coming in for Confidence and he began to make money and buy cars. Then the spirits told Confidence that he had to start helping them, too. “We will give you something with which you will be recruiting people into our kingdom,” they told him. In the end, Confidence came face-to-face with his spirit wife. “She was ugly and charcoal-black in skin tone,” Confidence reported. He then went on to build a temple in honour of the spirits that had given him money and some fame. “They told me to buy land near a body of water and to build a temple close to it,” Confidence said. To get the trust of the people, Confidence put a church in the front of the land, with the temple behind. He was told to place a big mirror in a special room in the temple. “I named the temple and the river ‘Clear Mirror’,” he went on. In the church, Confidence was meant to give out things such as soap and water. “When they use those things, they see results and become members of our kingdom,” Confidence disclosed. Confidence also had a special padlock from the spirit realm with which he could either stop people’s progress or supposedly release favours to them.
Not satisfied, Confidence sought out other spiritualists to offer him protection. In the process, he first met a man who invoked the spirit of a vulture into him, then he moved to another one who invoked several fetish objects into his body. “I continued to see dead people in my dreams,” he said. By this time, he was now involved in the use of hard drugs. “I knew that this was no longer my kind of person,” he said. And that was how he started the process of securing his deliverance. “I called The SCOAN Prayer Line and my deliverance process started then,” he said, “so I decided to come here physically.” Once Confidence decided to visit The SCOAN, the demons around him went into overdrive. “They said I would have an accident on November 27 and die on December 15, 2024,” he recalled. On the way, Confidence got attacked by hoodlums; however, he still managed to make the trip to Lagos, with the support of a God-sent driver.
On receiving prayer in The SCOAN, Confidence first got healed of the ear and bladder pain that he had been experiencing for years. As Confidence lay on the floor, he could sense God’s power working wonders in his body. For the next five days, Confidence continued to vomit different items as the power of deliverance fell upon him at The SCOAN Prayer Mountain. According to Confidence, a figure clad in white was on hand at The Prayer Mountain to help with His deliverance process. Confidence is now free from dreams where dead people appear. “I am light now, as every evil thing has left my body and I no longer feel the urge to take hard drugs,” he said. “I shall no longer serve the devil and his agents; I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour,” he asserted.
Advising the world Confidence said, “The God that gives everything you want is here in The Synagogue.” He urged others to seek out a living church, where God’s power reigns. He further advised youths against shortcuts to success, adding that one should seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and every other thing shall be added.
Indeed, if Satan gives you something that appears to be immediate solution to an urgent need, he turns back to take from you what your life depends on.
