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.

This new church which is located at Ajata street, behind Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area in Lagos is called Christ Holy Mountain, A.K.A House of Prayer, but is referred to as the New Synagogue by residents because its healing sessions, miracles and mode of worship is similar to that of Prophet T.B. Joshua.

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.

Prophet T.B. Joshua is always in the news for one prophecy, deliverance or something else.

Recently, he engaged members of his congregation in an intense prayer, ordering the release of the missing Chibok girls.

Also a popular singer turned prophet, Soul E said Joshua is the only man of God that behaves like Jesus Christ.
