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 13th anniversary, 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.
