Act of gratitude is not only beneficial to someone
receiving the praise, but even more so, to the one
who shows gratitude. On this score, the president
and founder of Omega Fire Ministry worldwide,
Apostle Johnson Suleman, has sent his warm
appreciation to Nigerians, Africans and the world
in general for their exceptional show of love
during his recent encounter with the Department
of the State Security (DSS).
Suleman, who is regarded as one of Africa’s most
popular pastors at the moment in his thank you
message during the kick-off of this year’s edition
of the annual ‘The Ebenezer’ programme to mark
the ministry’s 13thanniversary, said:
“I’m grateful to all. I never knew I was so loved. For the first time ever, fellow Nigerians behaved like Americans.

Nigerians naturally have business-like
mentality but I was shocked that on this
particular issue, 90 percent of Nigerians
spoke with one voice, saying enough is enough.
We were not fighting any government, we
just declared our stand that we are not
cowards and we cannot be cowed by fear.
I was so shocked at the level of strength
and courage that I had throughout the
period. And the courage I surmounted was
aided by the love and exceptional concern
shown me from all over the world. From
over 70 nations, I received a lot of phone
calls and text messages from people
showing their love and compassion. I got
messages of love from different people
that I have never even met. I got up to
18,000 different text messages. I read and
read. The solidarity was overwhelming. I
was moved to tears,’ states the man of
God.
Furthering, Apostle Suleman said;
“One thing that first moved me was when I
got to Abuja to see the DSS, the crowd I
saw almost made me to go into hiding.
The crowd was so massive that they were
ready to take bullets on my behalf. It
moved me. The love shown was not just
about me but for what they believe in and
it gave me so much courage and made me
to realize that I was not alone. I’m not
taking it for granted, that’s why I’m saying
thank you to all. I have to confess that I’m
yet to recover from that show of affection.
I therefore want to enjoin Nigerians that in
whatever situation that we find ourselves,
they should keep hearing our voice and I
want them to know that one day, things would be fine.
Meanwhile, the firebrand cleric will be visiting the
White House, the American seat of power, in
March. According to a reliable source from the
church, Apostle Suleman's planned visit was on
the invitation of the Mayor of Washington. We
gathered that during the august visit, the man of
God will have a prayer session with both the
Mayor and the president of the United States, Mr.
Donald Trump. The invitation, the source notes,
was in recognition of Suleman's selfless service
and commitment to humanity and delivering
souls. The Ebenezer programme of OFM started
on Wednesday 8th of February, 2017, with people
from 32 countries of the world arriving Auchi, the
headquarters of OFM worldwide.
This year’s programme themed ‘From Glory To
Glory’ will end on Sunday 12th. For 13 years, the
mission that has now spread into six continents
of the world, with the resilience of Apostle
Suleman, has brought salvation to millions,
healing and deliverance to a lot more, restoration
and settlement to very many more.
Also, the church is warming up for the birthday
celebration of the matriarch of the ministry,
Reverend Dr. (Mrs.) Lizzy Suleman on Sunday,
February 26th 2017, although the birth date is
February 28th. The source adds that ‘an unusual
gift’ awaits the OFM queen from her caring
husband, Apostle Suleman.
