Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International, has reacted to the controversy trailing one of his sermons were he said he prayed for COVID-19 not to end.
Recall that Suleman recently came under fire following his message in a viral video that he bought his third private jet during the COVID-19 pandemic and even prayed for the pandemic never to end.
Reacting, the cleric said it was a slip of tongue, adding that no pastor would pray for COVID-19 not to end. Apostle Suleman said: “There is a video trending about me that was posted by a pastor against me. It was a programme I had in Abuja and I was trying to explain something about COVID-19.
“When they told me that I prayed for the coronavirus not to end, I said ‘me? I did not say that.’
“When I watched the video, I discovered it slipped out of my mouth. There is no pastor that will pray for COVID-19 not to end. It doesn’t make sense.”
“That was what I was trying to buttress and it slipped out of my mouth. I could not have prayed for coronavirus not to end, no pastor would do that. But he (the pastor) took that mistake, edited some part and blew it,” he added.
