ATHREE- DAY spiritual revival for Synagogue Church Of All Nations ( SCOAN) members ended at the weekend with prayer for Nigeria’s peace and greatness.

The event witnessed crowds of members across Nigeria converging at its Prayer Mountain located at Agodo, Egbe Ikotun in Lagos. Though meant primarily for the Nigerian audience, a crowd of foreign visitors still besieged the Mountain in somber penitence of faith and high expectatio­ns.

The intensive programme, which also ran through the nights was of marathon prayers and fasting as directed by the Holy Spirit for those who have the grace to participat­e.

For the three days, the SCOAN Prayer Mountain was turned into a “Wailing Wall” reminiscen­t of the “Wailing Wall” in Jerusalem where faithful adherents pray consistent­ly to God. Thousands of worshipper­s in enthusiasm, ecstasy, walking, crying, rolling, and moving around in different ways of the spiritual resort according to how they feel comfortabl­e to pour out their hearts and supplicati­ons to God in a serene, cool, composed, calm and collected atmospheri­c conditions where nature and the spirit of man co- mingle. SCOAN’S leader, Pastor Evelyn Joshua in welcoming and congratula­ting the participan­ts stated: “We are not in this Mountain on our own, we are here today and for the three days at God’s command for our revival. “Heaven is aware that you are here and because heaven is aware of your presence, your case is settled. This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. His word says ‘ come’ and you have come. We are therefore here to fulfill all righteousn­ess. It’s done!”
