Following the burial of Prophet Temitope Joshua, popularly known as T.B. Joshua, the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations, (SCOAN) Friday, amid an ocean of tears and tributes, all eyes are now on the wife of the late preacher, Evelyn, who is set to take-over leadership of the church.

The renowned televangelist who had died on Saturday, June 5, 2021 after conducting a service in his church located in Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos, was finally committed to mother earth at the church-Synagogue’s premises.

The demise of the founder of SCOAN, had raised questions regarding who will succeed the late preacher as there was no immediate succession plan before Joshua died.

However, Evelyn Joshua, wife of the late founder of SCOAN has been reportedly given the nod to succeed her husband by the church authorities.

Evelyn met the late televangelist in 1990 when she had traveled to Egbe to visit her sister.

While she was in Egbe, she went to meet Joshua for counseling and spiritual guidance, of which lasted for about 45 minutes. The late televangelist was said to have proposed to her immediately following an inspiration from the holy spirit.

The duo eventually got married and worked together in building SCOAN, which is now globally recongised.

The two were married for 31 years and had three children; Serah, Promise, and Heart.

Evelyn, during the tribute service which held on Tuesday, she described her 31 years with Joshua fruitful.

While eulogising her husband, she described him as a Christian who stood firm in God despite facing many tribulations.

In her words: “The lion himself, I have spent 31 years with my husband, T.B.J, the man in the synagogue, that is the name I fondly call him. Our lives were not without trials and tests and as a Christian, I know trials and tests cannot break the one who relies on God’s strength.

“You taught me to know that tests and trials are the soil on which our feet flourishes. Your vision remains more clearer to me with time and without distractions.

“As I watch, see you labour with passion with dedication, hard work to grow from an eight-membership assembly sitting on a mat to wooden chairs and to the level which we are today unto the glory of God.”
