One of the pastors from the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN has opened his own church not far from Prophet T.B. Joshua’s church.
In what seems like a battle of pastors, a breakaway clergyman from the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, has set up a New Synagogue a stone’s throw from Prophet T.B. Joshua’s church and has been attracting a lot of members.
T.B. Joshua has warned his congregation not to attend the new church or be confused by the similarities between both places of worship.
The new church is called Christ Holy Mountain, A.K.A House of Prayer, but residents refer to it as the New Synagogue because the healing sessions, miracles and mode of worship is similar to Prophet T.B. Joshua’s.
The church is located at Ajata street, behind Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area in Lagos, western Nigeria.
The battle between the pastors came into the lime light after T.B Joshua during a church service, warned his members not to attend the new church. which is said to already be attracting a lot of members both new ones and former members of T.B Joshua's church.
Joshua warned worshippers of his congregation not to be deceived because the church was not established by him.
When Journalist from a Nigerian daily visited the new church which is now providing alternative to numerous worshipers who come from within and outside the country to see Joshua but cannot due to the huge crowd waiting to see the prophet, the pastor was not around.
However, a senior worker at the church who identified himself simply as Godwin, confirmed that the church was founded by a breakaway pastor and some other members from SCOAN, adding that this was not the first time members of a church would receive God's call and establish their own church.
Godwin explained that T.B Joshua had earlier prophesied that some of his members will leave the church and establish another church.
He insisted that both churches were different even though there were similarities in the miracle sessions and ways of worship.
