They
said they had a message from God. His parents desired to know what the
message was. The men said God told them that a man had been born who
would be a prophet unto God and minister in His presence.
As the young Johnson began to grow, his parents noticed that he had a soft spot for the things of God.
He started moving out with the brethren for evangelism and prayers.
On June 20, 1994, he saw a revelation: the world was set before him with Acts 10:38 written on it. He
had read through the Bible three times but never noticed the content of Acts 10:38.
The
scripture says: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him” — Acts 10:38. His
interpretation?
God wanted him to preach the gospel in all parts of the world.
There
and then he thanked God and asked for directions. On April 29, 1998, he
joined the Armor of God Church, Lagos, as an Assistant Pastor.
He
had a series of revelations from God in which he was instructed on the
spiritual powers God had given him and how he would go about the task
before him.
This
culminated in a 24-hour encounter with the Lord in which He gave him a
piece of cloth and said: “Take, wipe out tears from the face of people
all over the world, through the revelation of the word, manifestation of
my power and reality of the Holy Spirit. Go and produce people of fire
and enviable destinies.” The above encounters formed the background of
Omega Fire Ministries International, which was established in 2004. The
leader of the congregation is by name Apostle Johnson Suleman. The
ministry believes in the fire operation of the Spirit of God that
refines, purifies and equally destroys.
In
my privileged encounter with Apostle Suleman, he has been characterised
with word depth, accurate prophetic ministration, creative miracles and
salvation of souls. His ministry enables me to realise that oppressions
and demonic manipulations are real.
I
learnt much about the reality and authority of God’s power as well. It
is all-powerful and all-pervading. Since having an encounter with the
ministry, I have come to hold the true belief that all power belongs to
God and that Satan has no scriptural right to manipulate the destinies
of God’s creatures. In fact, the miraculous is a normal experience in
OFM.
By
prophetic standard, Apostle Johnson Suleman is an apotheosis of
prophetic reverence and veneration, the man redefines the word
simplicity: simple in speech or sermon, even simpler in his deeds and
his dressing. And still far simple in how he addresses serious issues.
The
“oracle of God” did not rest on his oars as he continues to give the
church its global outreach. He distributes his message globally through
Facebook and a 24-hour Christian television channel called Celebration
TV,’ as well as a 24-hour Christian radio station ‘Voice of Fire Radio’.
Apostle
Suleman preaches the gospel alongside his wife Reverend Lizzy Johnson.
Listeners receive salvation for their souls, accompanied with signs,
miracles, prophetic ministration, and deliverance and healing.
Today,
his trademark ‘I don’t serve a dead God – He is the same yesterday, the
same today, the same forever more! – is one of the popular ringtones
for mobile phones.
Apostle
Suleman had prophesied about personalities and events which came to
pass. He came up with 54 prophecies for 2014, which was released on
December 5, 2013.
One
of his prophesies is that President Jonathan should not run for another
term in office as his destiny could not be stretched beyond one term.
He
added that if he insists and rigs himself to victory, his experience
may not be very pleasant. I forwarded the full list of the prophesies to
a friend of mine, who replied thus: “Dear Phrank, This prophesy is as
daring as previous ones.
I’m
scared. But as your people would put it, ‘a dog that is destined to get
lost in the forest would not hear it even if its owner whistles to it
to return from its stray adventure.’
Let’s
see if Jonathan would give listening ear to this ominous whistle”. True
to my friend’s reaction, more than 10 of the prophesies for 2014 have
come to pass, just less that 30 days into 2014. From the arrest of a
Rivers lawmaker whom he said would be charged for alleged murder by the
police and even the removal of Bamanga Tukur as PDP national chairman.
He also predicted crisis in the All Progressives Congress (APC) among many prophetic words on national and international issues.
From
February 5 to 9, 2014, the ministry will be celebrating its 10th
anniversary in Auchi, Edo State at the church’s International Worship
Centre on Abuja – Okene expressway.
To
the glory of God, with barely 10 years of operation, the church already
has branches in 43 countries and spreads in Europe, America and various
parts of Africa.
I have and still enjoy unusual flow of unlimited grace of God in my live!
