Apostle Johnson Suleman is the founder and President of Omega Fire Ministries in Auchi,Edo State. He is a man that bares his mind on crucial issues and his prophesies, most of which have come to realty. In this exclusive interview Sunday Vanguard, he bares his mind on some burning issues concerning his prophesies and much more. Excerpts below:
You have been in the news of late for some of your utterances perceived to be critical of the incoming administration. This much was exhibited when you said “Nigerians might stone Buhari in the next six months,” what do you have to say?
Well, as an oracle of God, it’s not in my place to take sides unnecessarily. But I have realised a very disturbing trend in the media, which is the way and manner people are misquoted either to sell their medium or to blackmail. And again, it could still be a function of lack of comprehension by some people. What I have to say is that I can be held responsible for my words and actions, but I can’t be held responsible for your lack of comprehension.
In that said interview, what I said was that in the next six months, people may stone Buhari because of lack of patience and high expectations. I also said because of the fact that the large chunk of the followership Buhari has are youths and young people, young people don’t believe in progressive change, they want change. Is that a prophecy? Say after six months there is significant progress in the country, part of the expectation might have been realised and there would be no need for engaging the President. I think some of these things are common sense.
Another issue that was also in the public domain was that you said President Jonathan would win the elections and he lost.
Apostle Suleman
I believe whoever said that probably did out of sheer mischief. For the records, I personally told President Jonathan to concede defeat and that he would not win. If you watch that prophecy manual, I said very clearly that President Jonathan would not win but that the man that would win would not be given. Also bear in mind that I came out in the Vanguard Newspapers particularly of January 12, 2013 I came out to advise the president not to contest in 2015.
I specifically said “Those who are pushing him now, they want to destroy him. I am not saying this out of any personal animosity. I am saying this now because it can be averted. He should seek counsel. I love him but destiny has to be taken very sacrosanct. So I believe that if he asks for counsel, people can help him not to run for the Presidency in 2015.”
But did he seek counsel?
No, he didn’t and not to the best of my knowledge. And again, I read in the paper and even online on what I said and didn’t say. I recall immediately after the presidential election and results were still been collated “I said PDP won’t win but let’s hope the winner will rule because I don’t see Buhari ruling and even if he rules, I don’t see him lasting in power. I repeated it and some of the APC leaders contacted me, I told them verbatim that God told me this man is not well and that you people are evil. I am not particular about any political party. But I am particular about the will and purpose of God
What about the insinuation in some quarters about Nigerian preachers and the craze for prophesying. What do you have to say?
Prophesy is a gift from God. It’s not something you learn over time. It is mystery and not something everybody understands or should understand.
You were quoted recently as saying “If a man gives 50 predictions and 40 of them come to pass, that is a pass mark.” Does that mean God reneges on some of His words?
It’s unfortunate that they got me wrong! I was talking about young prophets whom I felt shouldn’t be criticized but encouraged and that was why I said if 60% of their prophecies come to pass,then it’s a pass mark. I am an authority in the prophetic ministry, I couldn’t have said that about myself. Only this year, I have travelled to over 20 countries in the world
