COVID-19: Apostle Suleman And Five Thousand Dollar Healing Challenge By Leo Igwe by boman2014: 10:36pm On May 03, 2020
Apostle Suleman, will you accept the
challenge this time? Is there any pastor
who could rise to the occasion? A
coronavirus stricken world is waiting to
benefit from your healing powers.

Once again I am challenging, the founder of
Omega Ministries, Apostle Suleman, to heal a
coronavirus patient and get a sum of money,
this time a higher amount-five thousand US
dollars. I am throwing the challenge one more
time because Suleman has in his response
refused to categorically accept or decline the
offer. Suleman seemed to imply that the
amount, which I had earlier advanced was
little.

Let's not forget that in his widely circulated
video, Apostle Suleman offered to heal
COVID19 patients for free. Thus a thousand
dollars offered for him to perform the same
activity could not have been a disincentive. I
have castigated Suleman for being insensitive
and for pretending to have a cure for a virus
that has killed tens of thousands of people
worldwide

I urged the NCDC to sanction him for
evangelical recklessness, and for advancing
propositions that could lead to the spread of
the infection and more deaths. In the article, I
made it clear that Apostle Suleman was
peddling bogus therapeutic claims given the
fact that there was no evidence that prayer
could heal any bacterial or viral infection or any
disease at all.

Surprisingly, this insightful comment did not go
down well with this pastor. And in his reply,
Suleman denounced me. He adjudged my
statement as 'nonsense', stating that God was
bigger than the coronavirus. I said well, if he
believed that prayer had any medical efficacy,
and could heal COVID19 patients, then he
should come forward and prove it under
scientific conditions.

Apostle Suleman boasted that he could heal 18
out of 20 patients. I asked this televangelist to
heal just one coronavirus patient and go home
with seed money of a thousand dollars. Is that
not a good offer? Is that amount not more than
the monthly tithes of some of his church
members? I even went further to give him an
alternative option. That, in a situation where
legal and ethical concerns stopped him from
accessing and healing a COVID19 patient, he
could faith-heal an HIV patient at the same
fee. Was that not magnanimous?

Instead of taking advantage of this historic
opportunity to demonstrate his faith healing
abilities, Apostle Suleman resorted to being
evasive and making excuses. He stated that he
would send me details of the people he had
healed. Did I ask him for that? No. Did I
challenge him to produce the names of those
that he had healed? Not at all. He went further
to indulge in personal attacks, describing the
one thousand dollars that I offered as a sign
that I was 'broke' and 'poor'. I mean, that was
not the issue at stake. I did not challenge
Apostle Suleman to a show of wealth; to
demonstrate if he was rich or if he was richer
than me. I asked him to prove in a way that
was scientifically confirmable that he could heal
a COVID19 patient as he claimed. That was all.
Once again he dodged the matter and could
not demonstrate his ability to heal a patient
through prayer.

Now it could be that Apostle Suleman was
unable to accept the challenge because the
amount was too small as he hinted. So a higher
amount could get him to perform. Look the
world urgently needs a cure for the
coronavirus. There is no better point in human
history that the healing power is needed than
now. The world is literally in lockdown and
many local and international businesses have
been grounded due to the coronavirus
pandemic. So it is proper to incentivize the
discovery of a cure or a healing facility even at
a paltry sum. Anyone who claims to have an
ability to heal by faith and prayer should be
allowed to demonstrate it even if at an extra
cost.

Apostle Suleman should bear in mind that if he
succeeds in healing a COVID19 patient through
prayer, he would instantly become a billionaire.
He would be richer than the Bill Gates of this
world and then stop relying on tithes and
offering. And who turns down such an
opportunity for a financial breakthrough? That
was why after some thoughtful consideration, I
decided to challenge Apostle Suleman again.

This time I am challenging him to demonstrate
his so-called gift or power of healing a
COVID19/HIV person and take home five
thousand dollars. This healing performance will
take place under agreed scientific conditions
and the money will be handed over to Suleman
after the healing has been confirmed. I hope
that Suleman accepts the challenge this time so
that the world would bear witness to his special
gift. Whether for a fee or for free, Suleman
should come forward and prove his faith
healing abilities. No more excuses!

And if perchance, Apostle Suleman forges
another alibi, and declines this healing
challenge. If he refuses to rise to the occasion
as he did when I offered a thousand dollars, I
hope other pastors who claim to have such
powers would come forward and heal a COVID/
HIV patient through prayers and take home the
sum of money.

Apostle Suleman, will you accept the challenge
this time? Is there any pastor who could rise to
the occasion? A coronavirus stricken world is
waiting to benefit from your healing powers

Why are you wasting your energy with pastorprenuer? Suleiman is on ICHABOD . Using enticing words of man wisdom to manipulate his members. Suleiman can not heal malaria or cough . This pastor's are only surviving in the ignorance of Nigerians. All the G.O's has failed test of faith with COVID-19 they are all using reverse psychology. Read 48 laws of power you will understand what they are doing to their members.

I am not God or Jesus defender, God is big enough to fight for himself...


Now as regards issue of healing, God's original plan and purpose is for us not to get sick talkless of healing. We are not meant to be sick talkless of getting healed. Though he made provision for healing incase of sickness.


As regard christians that are sick, it all boils down to level of knowledge. God himself said " My people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge", God admitted that they are his people, but they are getting destroyed cos they have no knowledge of him. You will always be a victim to any area of your life where you don't have the knowledge of God. Someone might have the knowledge of what God's word said about his career and excel in that area but lack what God had said about his health and be bedridden. Those days when had malaria and other sickness , I will take drugs, pray, visit hospital and get healed.

But December 2015, I found it in God's word that I was not meant to be sick talkless of needing to be healed. That was the Last time I ever took drugs and I knew no more sickness.

Forget about someone is a christian and he's sick, most of us are hypocrites including myself. We don't know God or Jesus, we arw just church goers. Some of us are just ceremonial members. I used to be a ceremonial church goer until I quit and then saw the hands of God in my life. Knowing him experimentally not just about being identified with him. If Paul could say " That I may know him and the power of his resurrection" who am I to say I know him?.

in Nigeria where almost everyone is a sinner will get healed ? the God i serve does not heal people because someone ask him to heal.
even Jesus Christ ( my lord and personal savior ) did not attend to the saran challenge. you don't test God.

if sinners repent from their sins and are ready to accept God as their Lord and personal savior and believe. they will be healed by prayer by anyone even a 2yr old. that is what you MUST know. Spirituality have conditions that science do not meet.

How is it that I am just coming across the Nobel Igwe name for the first time?

The man sounds like a funny guy.

BTW What did he mean by:

"I urged the NCDC to sanction him for
evangelical recklessness..."?

How does that work though since the NCDC isn't really a sanctioning body/agency?

That said, I think the 5000 USD is still "chicken feed" considering the fact that we are talking about COVID-19 here.

Somebody should help Mr Nobel ramp it up to 500,000. That should sweeten the challenge a bit for the "Apostle".

How about that? Big bucks for big challenge.
