Prominent man of God expresses surprising opinion on Christian killings in the North

The president of Omega Fire Ministries (OFM), Apostle Johnson Suleman has shared his views on the killings of Christians in the North. 

In a recent interview with Vangaurd, the man of God said: “In Christianity, our God fights for us, but in other religions, they fight for their gods.”

Read excerpts from the interview below:

When the people are subjects to the government, how should they react when the government begins to act in contrast to their expectations?

Government exists because there are people to govern. In the first place, if there are no people, who would the government rule over or lead?. People of a community or a nation are to obey the government of the land. In democratic setting, every government comes to power because the people  voted them based on the sweet promises made to the people. If it happens that there is deviation, the people should write the government through their representatives, but if that fails, they should cry to God who owns government to give them a better government because the bible says God raises one up and brings one down. Psalm 75:6-7.

How do attacks on churches and church leaders encourage peaceful co-existence among Nigerians?

In Christianity, our God fights for us, but in other religions, they fight for their gods. We do not look for trouble but if you trouble us, we will trouble you. Naturally, human beings are meant to stay together by default but when there is no peaceful harmony altogether, it might be difficult.

We have in place a government that promised change. What should real change be and how can Christians enjoy change in truth?

The only thing that is constant on earth is change. Change may be for the better or for the worse, whichever one, it is change. In my opinion, a real change in Nigeria should be that: There were no job opportunities before for graduates but employment opportunities are everywhere now. Roads were very bad before but all road networks are good now. Government functionaries were looting the treasury and corruption is everywhere before, but no more looting of treasury and corruption now. We used to import nearly everything before including toothpick but our country is now a producing nation and that our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has increased. People are dying before because of inadequate health facilities but things are improving now because there are well-equipped hospitals now etc. All these would be a change to me. As for how Christians can enjoy change in truth is by following after righteousness in truth which exalt a nation including Nigeria, according to Proverb 14:34.

Recall that Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Spiritual and Evangelical Church, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, went hard on men of God across the country over their seeming silence as Christians are reportedly facing persecution in the country.

Primate Ayodele, specifically mentioned Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church and William Kumuyi of the Deeper Life Ministry of keeping quiet while Christians are facing tough times in Nigeria.
