The General Overseer of the Auchi, Edo State-based Omega Fire Ministries International (OFM), Apostle Johnson Suleman, has admonished Nigerians and their leaders to shed the toga of pride if the nation must move forward in truth and virtue even as he hinted on plans by “men of God to” intercede on behalf of the nation in search of peace and economic progress.



What’s your take on pastors against prosperity preaching?

Well, that is not too bad, but every man interprets the Bible as he understands it. In my own view, the message of the Bible should be total and not one-sided as some people preach. God gave some pastors message of salvation, some prosperity, some end-time, but that does not mean that salvation or end-time preachers will not buy car or build houses for God and his family by God’s given prosperity. Or because a pastor is called into prosperity-preaching ministry, he decides not to talk about salvation again: he will end his journey in hell. Every ministry assignment ordained by God should complement one another. We need each other no matter the calling difference. Romans 12:3

Tell us about your recent American Raw Power crusade experience, and the charity visit to the US orphanage home.

The trip to Philadelphia, America was successful one among our trips. We had attendance of about three thousand people in a meeting with divine visitation that culminated in diverse testimonies. The word of God was preached with power and great insight given by the Holy Spirit. The Lord spoke to the people by prophecy in a very deep form; obviously we know that the people have not recovered from the encounters. As regards Charity visit to the US orphanage home, I love doing this and that is the reason we did it.


Recently, you attended to about 350 Youth Corps members at your ministry’s headquarters and gave them N7 million. What was their mission to the church.

The students came to see for themselves wonderful things they have been hearing about us. They were 358 in number. It was a courtesy visit. And when they were leaving, we realized that they needed to be encouraged back to their orientation camps. We believe doing that is a way to assist them, their parents and the community at large.


There is this issue of your alleged stand against the Biafra struggle. And this has become an issue with some groups fighting for a Biafra nation. As a man of God and not a politician, how does this connect with you?

[size=13pt]
I have heard that before, that I granted an interview to some faceless interviewers against the agitations of the Indigenous People of Biafra which is not true. I’m not the one, it was an evil concoction. To start with, I’m a preacher and Ambassador of Peace for the United Nations. I’m not in support of violence, I was one of the pastors in Nigeria who spoke several times on live worldwide satellite TV broadcast for the release of Nnamdi Kanu. [/size]
People who are jobless should look for something to do rather than fabricating stories that have no basis in order to confuse the people. Pastors should not be dragged into unnecessary debate and tribal rancor.

You have become synonymous with charity. How do you hope the world should pay you back?

In the book of proverbs 19:17, the scripture says; “Whoever is kind to the poor is lending to the Lord the benefit of his gift will return to him in abundance”. We are only doing what we know how to do and our rewards are from God. We are not expecting anything from men or any group. The world cannot pay us back. I’m not a politician who installed a bore hole for his community or does other projects and is expecting his people to vote for him in his second term political election campaign bid. Ours is not like that, we are only privileged to do what we know how to do to the glory of God.

Can you tell us the story of your ministry’s 12th Holy Ghost Convention?

The 12th Holy Ghost Convention of the ministry that took place in Auchi with live coverage worldwide and live streaming was a replica of the acts of the Apostles as there were manifold deluge of unending blessings conspicuously endowed on the people through the God of all flesh. God brought people from length and breadth of the globe. We saw unusual door of utterances opened as the word came in a special and mind blowing dimensions. Healing on every side, special miracles for the people were not left out. In nutshell, we have not recovered from the move of the Spirit of God.

You are not afraid to shoot at every issue while on the pulpit. What inspires you at all time?

There are things you cannot learn in your old age about life. Life is all about what you are made up of from the original dictate of God’s will. The source of my inspiration is God. From the Holy Scripture, it is God who works in us both to do His good pleasure. Whatever we are seeing today is God. A person cannot hold petrol in his hand and at the same time holds fire in his hand. These are two contrary matters. Whoever wants to shoot at issues must avoid issues.

What more are you doing as a resonate voice in Christendom to ensure that Christian leaders take the initiative to push for the necessary and positive changes in our society?

From one of the interviews granted in early May, 2016 with me about intercession we plan for Nigeria, the interviewer asked “How many other pastors are you bringing into this plan?” The response was that we are praying and good number of people in the nation would be carried along to pray for Nigeria. The only way out is prayer and by declaring the truth regularly. We are praying. There is better future for Nigeria.

One of the qualities for which you are admired on the pulpit is your entertaining the audience in the most modest sense of the word and informing them. Is that the magic wand behind the ministry increasing growth?

To start with, no man has strategy for ministering expansion or growth, except it is given from above. We are not actually entertaining the people in the course of sermons as you think but revealing the mystery in the word by the Spirit of God. One thing we should know and understand about the word of God is that, it has sweet side and bitter side. All work together to form the totality of ministry’s growth when they are strictly adhered to. Some laughed themselves into their next level as they hear the word while some are sorrowful by the same word into their freedom. The Spirit of God backing the word knows what to do to individual by the word.


At what point do you have the time to be alone with your family, given your regular movements to preach Gospel across the world?

Every minister of God at the top has similar time challenge due to crowded daily ministerial schedules but time has to be created as family matter is paramount in the heart of God. The order of life is God first, family second and ministry third. Generally, when ministry is getting larger and the demand is obviously on the increase, the attention given to family tends to suffer but all it requires is having understanding wife or husband and balance the family time and the ministry time. I create time.

You are called The Oracle of God, this title must be special to you because almost every pastor also bears this title. What’s the secrets behind the title?

There is nothing complicating about the unique title. It’s is biblical, according to 1Peter 4:11.”If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. I bear the title and If other Pastors are bearing the same title, it is not bad, it is biblical and it’s borne out of individual revelations. Oracles of God speaks divine counsel and the mind of God.

South-south, South-east Lawmakers Oppose Grazing Bill
[/size]


Lawmakers in Nigeria’s South-south and South-east geo-political zones have opposed the proposed grazing bill of the federal government.

The legislators also urge their counterparts at the National Assembly to kick against the bill, saying it is not in the interest of the nation’s unity.

The opinions were formed when they converged at Owerri, the Imo State capital, south-east Nigeria for the first parliamentary session of South-south and South-east State Assemblies to discuss the issues bothering on the proposed grazing bill as well as issues of militancy and bombings in the Niger Delta.

In his welcome address, the host and Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Honourable Acho Ihim, hinted that the South-south and the South-east states have many things in common in the region, not leaving out challenges,stressing the need for the first joint parliamentary session to bid a way forward in addressing their challenges.

Reacting to the grazing reserve proposals and activities of herdsmen in the geo-political zones, a lawmaker from Abia moved a motion on the position of legislators in both region.

After much deliberations and contributions, the legislators opposed the grazing bill, urging all Assemblies in the region to pass bills restricting cattle rearing and prohibit grazing of cattle from one location to another.

They insisted that the proposed bill to establish and control grazing routes and reserves should be rejected.

After the session, some of the lawmakers hinted that the theme of their gathering would go a long way to unite the South-south and South-east zones, as well as Nigeria in general.

In attendance were the Speakers from Ebonyi, Delta, Cross River, Imo, Edo, Bayelsa, and Abia states while Deputy Speakers from Akwa Ibom, Anambra and Enugu states represented their speaker amidst a large number of legislators from the the two zones.

"God's Stand" on any country, is that they all REPENT, AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL, or else they can all GO TO HELL.

. MARK 1:14-15.

14. Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching The Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
15. And saying,
"The time is fulfilled, and The Kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe The Gospel."

HYPOCRITICAL CHRISTIAN LEADERS EXAGGERATE GOD'S ACTIVITIES, AND ATTRIBUTE THINGS TO HIM THAT ARE NONE OF HIS BUSINESS!

THIS is "GOD'S STAND."

1st JOHN 3:1-15.

BEHOLD, what manner of Love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Sons of God: therefore the World knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2. Beloved, now are we the Sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4. Whosoever committeth Sin transgresseth also The Law: for Sin is the Transgression of the Law.
5. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our Sins; and in him is no Sin.
6. Whosoever abideth in him Sinneth not: whosoever Sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7. Little Children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is Righteous, even as he is Righteous.
8. He that committeth Sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the Beginning. For this Purpose the Son of God was manifested,

"THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY
THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL."

9. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit Sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot Sin, because he is Born of God.
10. In this the Children of God are manifest, and the Children of the Devil: whosoever doeth not Righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his Brother.
11. For this is The Message that ye heard From The Beginning,

"THAT WE SHOULD
LOVE ONE ANOTHER."

12. Not as Cain, who was of that Wicked One, and slew his Brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own Works were Evil, and his Brother's Righteous.
13. Marvel not, my Brethren, if the World hate you.
14. We know that we have passed from Death unto Life, because we love the Brethren. He that loveth not his Brother abideth in Death.
15. Whosoever hateth his Brother is a Murderer: and ye know that no Murderer hath Eternal Life abiding in him.

GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN OUR POLITICAL STRUGGLES. People trying to attain and retain RICHES, HOUSES, and LANDS.

. MATTHEW 19:16-30.

16. And, behold, one came and said unto him,
"Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have Eternal Life?"
17. And he saith unto him,
"Why callest thou me 'Good?' (There is) none Good but One, (that is,) God: but if thou wilt enter into Life, keep The Commandments."
18. He saith unto them,
"Which?"
Jesus said,

"THOU SHALT DO NO MURDER
THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL,
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,
19. "HONOUR THY FATHER AND (THY) MOTHER: and,
THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF."

20. The young man saith unto him,
"All these thing things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?"
21. Jesus saith unto him,
"If thou wilt be perfect, go (and) sell that thou hast, and give to the Poor, and thou shalt have Treasure in Heaven: and come (and) follow me."
22. But when the young man heard that Saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23. Then said Jesus unto his Disciples,
"Verily I say unto you,

'THAT A RICH MAN
SHALL HARDLY ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'

24. "Again I say unto you,

'IT IS EASIER FOR A CAMEL
TO GO THROUGH
THE EYE OF A NEEDLE,
THAN FOR A RICH MAN
TO ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.' "

25. When his Disciples heard (it) they were exceedingly amazed, saying,
"Who then can be Saved?"
26. But Jesus beheld (them), and said unto them,
"With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."
27. Then answered Peter and said unto him,
"Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?"
28. And Jesus said unto them,
"Verily I say unto you,

'THAT YE WHICH HAVE FOLLOWED ME,
IN THE REGENERATION
WHEN THE SON OF MAN
SHALL SIT IN THE THRONE
OF HIS GLORY,
YE ALSO SHALL SIT
UPON TWELVE THRONES,
JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES
OF ISRAEL.
29. 'AND EVERY ONE THAT HATH
FORSAKEN HOUSES, OR BRETHREN,
OR SISTERS, OR FATHER, OR MOTHER,
OR WIFE, OR CHILDREN, OR LANDS,
FOR MY NAME'S SAKE,
SHALL RECEIVE AN HUNDREDFOLD,
AND SHALL INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE.'

30. "But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first."

THIS IS WHAT INTERESTS GOD- NOT YOUR "BIAFRA," "NIGERIA," "AFRICA," nor "WORLD."

. JOHN 3:1-21.

THERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him,
"Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him."
3. Jesus answered and said unto him,
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN
BE BORN AGAIN,
HE CANNOT SEE
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.' "

4. Nicodemus saith unto him,
"How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5. Jesus answered,
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN
BE BORN OF WATER
AND OF THE SPIRIT,
HE CANNOT ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'

6. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. "Marvel not that I said unto thee,

'YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.'

8. "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is Born of the Spirit."
9. Nicodemus answered and said unto him,
"How can these things be?"
10. Jesus answered and said unto him,
"Art thou a Master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee,

'WE SPEAK THAT WE DO KNOW,
AND TESTIFY THAT WE HAVE SEEN;
AND YE RECEIVE NOT OUR WITNESS.'

12. "If I have told you Earthly Things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of Heavenly Things?
13. "And no man hath ascended up to Heaven, but he that came down from Heaven, even the Son of Man which is in Heaven.
14. "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15. "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have Eternal Life.
16. "For God so loved the World, that he gave his only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.
17. "For God sent not his Son into the World to condemn the World; but that the World through him might be Saved.
18. "He that believeth on him is not Condemned: but he that believeth not is Condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of the only Begotten Son of God.
19. "And this is the Condemnation,

'THAT LIGHT IS COME INTO THE WORLD,
AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS
RATHER THAN LIGHT,
BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS
WERE EVIL.'

20. "For every one that doeth Evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21. "But he that doeth Truth cometh to the Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."

"BORN AGAIN," IN NORTHERN ARAMAIC, MEANS: "TO CHANGE ONE'S THOUGHTS AND HABITS." NICODEMUS SPOKE SOUTHERN ARAMAIC, AND HENCE DID NOT UNDERSTAND JESUS. - George Lamsa, translator of the PESHITTA Bible. (Footnote to John 3:3,5.)

[If a person has not changed their thoughts and habits through the rite of WATER BAPTISM- having REPENTED of ALL of their SINS, they CANNOT SEE, nor ENTER INTO The Kingdom of God.

[If a person has not changed their thoughts and habits through THE SPIRIT OF GOD, they CANNOT SEE, nor ENTER INTO The Kingdom of God.

[IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE AND NECESSARY TO RE-ENTER OUR MOTHERS' WOMBS AND BE BORN AGAIN.

[In the process of REPENTING OF ALL OF OUR SINS, we HAVE TO attain TOTAL RECALL of our ENTIRE LIVES, and RELIVE them- detecting and remedying EVERY SATANIC INFLUENCE in our lives.

[Even that which occurred IN OUR MOTHERS' WOMBS.

[This was the GREAT DISCOVERY of LAFAYETTE RONALD HUBBARD- which was supposed to be the CHURCH'S DISCOVERY.]

THIS IS WHAT INTERESTS GOD, AND NOT UNBELIEVERS' POLITICAL AMBITIONS, NOR THEIR COVETOUS AND MURDEROUS INTENTIONS.
