Before his birth a prophet once labeled Jesus as Wonderful Counselor {Isaiah 9:6} Jesus taught his audience so many things, he told them that false preachers will emerge during the endtime {Matthew 24:11} but since they will use Jesus' name too {Matthew 7:21-23} it will be difficult for unsuspecting observers to identify them.
So what is the way out of such deadly trap?

Jesus gave us key clues that will help us if only we diligently study his words. For instance Jesus once said "stop storing treasures for yourself here on earth because where your treasure is that is where your mind will be" {Matthew 6:19-20} with the statement made by the so called "Apostle" where is he storing treasures?
Of course he has apologized before his admirers but lovers of TRUTH have known what kind of person he is {John 8:32} though he said those words slipped out of his mouth but Jesus already warned his own audience that they should be mindful of what people say because out of the abundance of what people treasure in their hearts their mouths speaks! Luke 6:44-45 smiley

You came to teach the children of God and you are talking about private jet.

What's do private jet has to do with the word of God

Apostle Johnson Suleman is the General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International.

The Nigerian preacher, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has publicly apologized for the statement he uttered in a viral video a couple of days ago.

He stated that his statement was an error; at the time, he bragged that COVID-19 should not end because he was prospering and has been able to buy his third private jet.

In a video that went viral last week, Suleman while preaching at a church programme recanted his statement. Here is what the preacher said two Sundays ago in his church service;

“In COVID (pandemic) I bought a jet; the third one. I have three.

”I was praying for COVID-19 not to end because I was resting.

”While people were complaining. My wife asked, ‘Can life be this sweet?’ Am I talking to somebody here?”a

His statement raised eyebrows and also drew criticisms from Nigerians who condemned him for being excited about the pandemic that had crippled the economic lives of many, including the people who attend his church.

Reacting to the criticism, the clergyman while preaching in his church on Sunday, February 21, said the video of him making the statement was edited by a fellow pastor who is an enemy of his.

Here is what he said;

“There’s a video that is trending about me. It was posted by a pastor against me.”

He continued; “It was a programme I had in Abuja and I was trying to explain something about COVID-19. When they told me that I prayed for COVID-19 not to end, I said ‘me? I didn’t say that.”

Thereafter, Apostle Suleman went on to claim that the statement slipped from his mouth and it was also not intentional.

He continued;

“When they brought the video, I discovered it slipped out of my mouth.”

“There’s no pastor that will pray for COVID not to end. It doesn’t make sense.

”I was talking about what happens around COVID, how families were staying together, how families united, how some people even made money during that process. That was what I was trying to buttress and it slipped out of my mouth. I could not have prayed for COVID not to end. No pastor would do that. But he (the pastor) took that mistake, edited some part and blew it,” he said.

Further, Apostle went on to make comments about his three private jets.

The clergyman added that those who are angry that he bought a third private jet will just die.

“If you are angry I mentioned three jets, you go just die. That’s the truth,” he said.

Abeg abeg.
Let him keep his apology to himself.
You came online to brag about having a third private jet while some of your members were in poverty during the lockdown.
This is why I detest Pentecostal churches.

Suleiman is a wounded soldier trying to behave like Samson in the scripture

This man of God has fallen badly but trying to be holy

The spirit of God gives and guard autrances when we speak and preach the gospel of christ
*Jesus did promise the apostles that the Holy Ghost would give them the exact words they were to say and that they would not even need to pre-plan their remarks, since God would be speaking through them (Matthew 10:19–20). Christ also promised that the Holy Ghost would give them perfect recall of everything that He had ever told them (John 14:26). But such promises were not given to His believing followers of all times. Now sometimes Matthew 10:19–20 (as well as the parallel passages in Mark 13:11 and Luke 12:11–12) are cited in support of the idea that God gives all Christians the words they are to say when they are beset by those that seek to harm them. While God may, indeed, grant us clarity of thought so that we can recall previously learned Bible verses in difficult situations (as many Christians have experienced), that is not what Christ here specifically promises. Notice what He says: “When they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you” (Matthew 10:19–20). This is a clear promise of divine inspiration that was given directly to the apostles — that without any thought being taken on their part, their mouths would deliver messages from the Lord. Such promises have not been given to us Christians of today.

And, really, we do not need God to give us the ability to speak and write Spirit-inspired words, as He did in the case of the prophets in the Old Testament and the apostles and evangelists in the New Testament, because He has already given us the inspired words that they wrote as His penmen, as these have been recorded for our learning in the Bible (Romans 15:4). So then, rather than telling us to expect the Holy Ghost to give us immediate revelations (apart from the means of His written Word), God directs us Christians to the Scriptures through which the Holy Ghost works to put His Word into our hearts and on our lips. This was also true for the other believers at the time when the Old and New Testaments were written. Consider these passages: “These words which I command thee this day shall be in thine heart; and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up” (Deuteronomy 6:6–7). “From a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect [complete], thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (II Timothy 3:15–17). Because God has already caused to be recorded in the Scriptures everything that we need to know pertaining to our saving faith and our life of sanctification, we Christians today are not to look for direct spiritual revelations such as the Lord graciously provided to some of His people of old before they had the complete revelation of His will and grace through the mouths and pens of the prophets and apostles. But “whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope” (Romans 15:4).

There is great danger in looking for God to speak through Christians today as He did through His messengers of old, because it draws people’s focus away from what God actually has said in Holy Scripture, and it encourages them to look for divine guidance from those whom God clearly says that He is “against” (Jeremiah 23:31) and who worship Him “in vain” (Matthew 15:9). In Luther’s day, Thomas Müntzer and the “Zwickau prophets” claimed to receive extra-biblical revelations from the Lord, and they deceived many. And, of course, the Pope (both then and now) claims to be the mouthpiece of God, even while blatantly contradicting the Bible. So then holding firmly to the principle of sola Scriptura (namely, that Scripture alone is the source and standard of true Christian doctrine), Luther wrote:

In those things which concern the spoken, outward Word, we must firmly hold that God grants His Spirit or grace to no one, except through or with the preceding outward Word, in order that we may be protected against the enthusiasts, i.e., spirits who boast that they have the Spirit without and before the Word, and accordingly judge Scripture or the spoken Word, and explain and stretch it at their pleasure, as Muenzer did, and many still do at the present day, who wish to be acute judges between the Spirit and the letter, and yet know not what they say or declare. For the Papacy also is nothing but sheer enthusiasm, by which the Pope boasts that all rights exist in the shrine of his heart, and whatever he decides and commands with his church is spirit and right, even though it is above and contrary to Scripture and the spoken Word (The Smalcald Articles, Triglotta, p. 495, §3–4).

But, now, a brief word of caution is in order concerning expressions that Christians sometimes use: Without necessarily meaning to claim divine inspiration for his own words, a Christian might say something like, “I was so nervous that I thought I would say everything wrong; but then God gave me just the right words to speak.” While such a statement can be understood correctly as referring to God blessing a person’s speech (meaning basically, “God helped focus my concentration so that I could speak better than I thought I’d be able to”), it could also wrongly be thought of as meaning that the exact words used (even though not quoting from the Scriptures) were given to the person through a kind of “verbal inspiration” in the same way God moved the holy men to write the Scriptures. Similarly, if a Christian is complimented concerning something that he said or wrote (assuming that he was not quoting the Bible), it is not wise for him to say things like, “Those weren’t my words; those were from the Lord.” Now such a statement might be intended to be a humble acknowledgment of the fact that all good things come from God; but it basically exalts that person’s words to the level of Scripture by essentially referring to his own words as the words of the Lord. And if taken that way, then what would stop that person’s words and opinions from being cited and imposed upon other Christians as the inspired words of God? What then would stop the words of men from being regarded as having the same divine authority and infallibility as belongs rightly only to the Bible? Hence, the potential danger should be readily observed.

Similarly, care must be taken in rightly understanding certain poetic expressions that we find in some well-known hymns, which a person might misunderstand as asking God to grant us extra-biblical revelations. In The Lutheran Hymnal (©1941), Hymn 411, verse 7, we find these words: “Help me speak what’s right and good …Help me pray, Lord, as I should.” This should be understood as God moving us, by means of His Word, to do good in our lives of sanctification (Philippians 2:13), particularly in connection with the words we say. In Hymn 428, verse 5, we sing to the Lord: “Words which Thou Thyself shalt give me must prevail.” If this is understood as God bringing to our remembrance previously learned Scripture passages, then there is no problem. Obviously, however, there would be a problem if one takes this as meaning that we expect the Lord to convey divinely inspired messages through us that are not found in the Bible.

Thus to avoid confusion and promote a correct understanding of the issues involved, a two-part answer should be given to the question, “Does the Holy Spirit give us utterance today?” 1) No, not in the same way He did with the prophets and apostles; but 2) Yes, through the instruction of the Scriptures, the Holy Ghost does move us to speak His Word faithfully. By means of the divinely-inspired text of the Bible, the Spirit of God puts His Word into Christians’ mouths and hearts so that they are able to know it for themselves (II Timothy 3:15; Psalm 119:11; etc.), to meditate upon it for their comfort and strengthening (Psalm 1:2; Romans 15:4), and to convey the vitally important messages of Law and Gospel to others (Matthew 28:20a). Indeed, we who have been blessed to receive the Word of the Lord in this manner have the privilege and obligation of confessing it with our mouths. God says: “He that hath My Word, let him speak My Word faithfully” (Jeremiah 23:28; see also Matthew 10:32 and Romans 10:9–10). The Lord tells us to be ready to give an answer to those that ask us concerning our Christian faith (I Peter 3:15); and the kind of answer He wants us to give is not one that begins with, “I tend to think about it this way,” or, “Here’s my opinion on the matter.” On the contrary, we are to “speak as the oracles of God” (I Peter 4:11) by drawing the answer directly from the Bible. And rather than asking the Lord to increase our spiritual understanding apart from the means of His written Word (by immediate revelation), we should rather pray that He would grant us such knowledge directly through the study of His Word—“Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy Law.” “Give me understanding according to Thy Word” (Psalm 119:18, 169).

God will certainly answer such prayers for spiritual wisdom. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:5). The Lord says: “I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people” (Jeremiah 31:33; see also Romans 10:cool. Again, this putting of His Word into our hearts is not done through the process of divine inspiration that took place with the holy writers of the Bible; but it comes about through the learning of Holy Scripture. We do not bind God in this matter (we do not limit His ability to grant a person immediate revelations); rather it is God who has bound us to the Scriptures. Accordingly, He directs faithful pastors to study Holy Writ (II Timothy 2:15); and He says that the subject matter of their preaching is to be “the Word” (II Timothy 4:2). There is no allowance for teachings that go beyond what Scripture teaches (I Timothy 6:3–5). Furthermore, the correct understanding of the Bible is to be drawn only from the Bible itself for the very reason that it (in contrast to the musings of the human mind) was inspired by God. “No prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (II Peter 1:20–21).

Since the words of the Bible were inspired by the Holy Ghost, since it is the Holy Ghost who through the Scriptures works the faith that receives His Word, and since the Holy Ghost also moves us as a fruit of saving faith to praise Him with our lips and to speak His Word to others, it is certainly true that the Spirit of God does give utterance to us Christians of today. “O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise” (Psalm 51:15). It is a fact that whenever we accurately quote the Scriptures and correctly apply the Law and the Gospel in speaking to others, the Lord God Himself is speaking to them through us (Luke 10:16). We should be very eager to be thus used by our Lord and Savior in the work of His kingdom for the spiritual welfare of those that hear us and to the honor of God’s holy name. May the Holy Ghost, therefore, continue this work in us through His powerful Word and fill us with a zeal to be His mouthpieces in conveying His life-giving Word to our fellow human beings — all to the praise of the glory of His grace in Christ Jesus!

“Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” (Colossians 3:16)*

Bible Verses about Our Tongue.....

Proverbs 12:18 - "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."

As Children of God, our tongues have a lot of power.

Proverbs 18:21 confirms this by saying, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits."

This is further seen in Matthew 18:18, which proclaims, "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

These verses prove how much good or bad our tongues, words can do.

ALSO READ: Your words are more powerful than you think

8. Proverbs 16:24; “Kind words are like honey – sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”

9. Matthew 15:18; "But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person."

10. Matthew 12:36; "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak."

11. Matthew 12:37; "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

12. Colossians 3:8; "But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth."

13. James 1:26; "If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless


The same way you spew trash with your tongue, turning evil to false good. Supporting murderers & persecutors of the body of Christ, thus may all these Bible verse stand against you in judgment, Felix Terengua. May the blood of the victims of this evil govt clamor in the heavens against you in Jesus Name. (mind you i don't bother to follow threads or follow up, i drop blessings or afflictions by the power of the Holy ghost & move)
