Breaking News: Apostle Suleman Defends the Church and Addresses Critics
In a recent viral video, Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, has passionately defended the church against increasing online attacks. With his ministry's multibillion-naira international headquarters in Auchi, Suleman has raised significant concerns about the motives behind these attacks, attributing them to an underlying hatred of Christians rather than genuine criticism of the church itself.
Suleman emphasized that the real issues facing Nigeria are not religious but stem from bad leadership and lawlessness. He pointed out that countries like China, Qatar, and Singapore, which are known for their strict religious practices, experience different societal issues compared to Nigeria. According to Suleman, the focus should be on restoring law and order rather than targeting religious institutions.

In his address, Suleman also criticized social media for exacerbating tensions and spreading negativity. He shared a personal anecdote about his experience in Qatar during Ramadan, where strict fasting rules were enforced, highlighting that religious observance is not unique to any one country.
Addressing his critics, Suleman expressed concern for their well-being, jokingly noting that their attacks on the church are more likely to affect their own health. He asserted that no amount of criticism could undermine the church’s mission, drawing parallels to how Jesus Christ faced criticism yet could not be stopped.
The video has sparked a range of reactions online:
@kamson_Nosa tweeted: "Of a truth, the attack on the church lately is really intense. What’s going on? Is the world ending now? Everything about church and pastors seems to be under fire."
@vera_omobode commented: "God Bless You, my beloved Daddy. The Bible already foretold that in the last days, the faith of many shall wax cold, but Jesus said He will build His Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail."
