Founder and Senior Pastor of the Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has revealed he prayed during the lockdown for the dreaded COVID-19 disease not to end now.
Naija News understands that the renowned clergy stated this while bragging about his third jet which he bought during the raging COVID-19 pandemic.
Apostle Suleman while delivering a sermon to his congregations revealed that the Coronavirus pandemic which pushed the country into an economic recession was a blessing in disguise for him and his family.
Although the date of the sermon could not be verified at the moment, the video recently went viral on social media. The PUNCH reports that Suleman said he was praying for the pandemic not to end because he was prospering and resting.
He said, “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?”
“No stress. I read on the Internet that there’s a rumour going around that I have a machine that prints money. I like that rumour. They say, ‘he should be investigated. He has a machine that prints money.
“Somebody asked if it’s true and I said it is true. They said, ‘It’s risky o’. I said I didn’t know it’s risky because I already bought the machine. When you speak in tongues, you’re printing money.”
Naija News recalls that Apostle Suleman was faced with adultery scandal in recent times with one of his former pastors, Mike Davids who accused him of sleeping with his wife, an allegation which Suleman has denied.
Meanwhile, the lead pastor of Fulfilling-Word Foundation Church, Rivers State, Essa Ogorry, has been confirmed dead.
The 55-year-old cleric died on Tuesday exactly a year after his wife, Tonyemieba, passed on and left a 17-year-old child, Naija News reports.
