Apostle Johnson Suleman, leader of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, has come to the defense of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of LoveWorld Incorporated amid debates sparked by a viral healing video circulating on social media.
The footage, which recently went viral, showed ten individuals who were reportedly disabled suddenly walking after prayers during a church service. The clip ignited widespread discussion online, with many Nigerians expressing skepticism about the authenticity of the healings.
Public figures such as reality star Pere Egbi, actress Jemima Osunde, and some medical professionals weighed in, questioning how people allegedly disabled for years could walk immediately after the prayers.
In response to the ongoing controversy, Apostle Suleman addressed the situation during a church service on Sunday, January 25, 2026, defending Pastor Chris and the legitimacy of the miracles.
He emphasized that miracles are real and highlighted that Pastor Chris’ ministry has a long history of demonstrating signs and wonders. According to Apostle Suleman, faith in Christianity is not based on logic, and miracles often appear illogical to those unwilling to experience them.
He noted that attempting to convince skeptics through reasoning is often futile, as it is the Holy Spirit, not human argument, that reveals spiritual truths. Referencing 2 Corinthians 4:4, he explained that some minds are spiritually blinded, and no explanation will satisfy them unless they witness a miracle firsthand.
Apostle Suleman also stressed that mocking miracles or demanding pastors perform them in hospitals misses the essence of divine acts. He clarified that miracles are not meant to prove a pastor’s calling but are manifestations that occur according to God’s timing and the faith of those involved.

@xammi_911:”At least, people knew the people Jesus healed were afflicted with amenities for many years and it was obvious. You can’t bring people out like these and call it miracle.”
@lavivavogue:”Miracles are real and if you don’t believe REST and if you don’t believe after resting, argue with your Bible. This is 2026 leave pastors alone!”
@navysealz007:”Firstly no one doubts about miracle, they only asked for evidence as NBC also asked for evidence. Asking for evidence isn’t wrong. Secondly hospital have gone to the church on several occasions and didn’t receive miracle. I guess you will say they didn’t have faith.”
@emmruobe:”Religion makes you a better pretender, not a better person. Are you going to lie against him ?. if you know the truth????”
@CletusChinanu:”Miracles are not meant to be explained. If you doubt them, let God give you one that is the only true proof.”
