A video circulating on social media shows the visitation of Manchester United footballer, Adilson Angel Gomes to Prophet TB Joshua’s Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN).
The video which was shot in 2017 resurfaced on the social media on Monday, June 15, 2020, showing the talented attacking player receiving prayers of healing for the injuries he had long been battling.
In the video, the 19-year-old midfielder, who was 16-year-old at the time, revealed that his parents are “huge fans” of Prophet TB Joshua
He also narrated how he’s been struggling with frequent injuries — including hip, groin and ankle — hindered him from playing in times of important tournaments, matches, and breakthrough moments.
“My name is Angel Gomes, I’m from Manchester. I’m sixteen. I play for the Manchester United Football Club. And I’ve been struggling really with injuries,” he can be heard speaking before the congregation.
“I’ve been having injuries around my hip and groin which have been affecting me playing. I also suffered ankle injury not long ago which kept me out for a long time.
“These injuries would come at hard times for me, times when I was having a breakthrough or times when I had to go to a tournament or playing games, these injuries would happen quite frequently.
“I play for Man United, I also represent England national team under-17 level as captain. I’ve known about the Synagogue Church of Nations for a long time.
“As my family follows the prophet, my parents are big fans. So we thought it would be a good time for me to come and be touched by the prophet.”
Speaking after the healing session, Gomes narrated his experience of being touched by the prophet’s anointing, saying:
“I just felt a little shock and I was surprised. I can really describe how I felt. Just don’t doubt what you feel on the inside. Go with your heart. When you need someone to look up to, just look to God and have faith.”
Gomes is reputed as the youngest player to represent Manchester United since Duncan Edwards, who died at 21, in 1953. He is also the first player born in the 2000s to appear in the Premier League.
In 2017, the wonder kid was said to have informed his club he wouldn’t represent England U17s at the 2017 UEFA European Championship finals in Croatia over an injury that held him back.
Many Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the viral video, as some expressed shock over his visit to SCOAN, while others empathized with him.
