LAGOS — Nigerian televangelist and General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has expressed his solidarity with Ukraine following its invasion by Russian forces.
During his early morning prayer show, Wonders Without Number on Friday, the preacher called for prayers for Ukraine saying, “We are going to command that war to cease, we are not negotiating.”
According to him, the target of the war is not Ukraine but a country which he failed to disclose so as to avoid panic by citizens of some unspecified countries.
He said, “We are going to pray to the Lord to intervene, because what the enemy is intending… I’m not going to talk about that. Ukraine is not the target but I won’t talk about that so those living in certain countries won’t get afraid.”
He condemned the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, saying that the attack is premeditated while noting that he has been praying for days over the situation.
‘It is a premeditated thing that is being done to them. We are praying for them, not just Ukraine, we are praying for Russia that God Almighty will intervene for the war to cease,” the cleric stated.
He continued, “When people become zealous towards destroying, it is not God, not the Holy Spirit (involved) but a demon. So don’t bother about the activities of the demon, stop the demon.”
He further said, “That we are alive and this is going on is an insult to our existence as believers.”
At the end of the brief exhortation, the clergyman then went on his knees to pray in front of a projector screen showing the map of Ukraine and Russia.
