Who is he?
Born for a Purpose Beyond His Generation
Apostle Johnson Suleman was born on 24th March 1971 in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. Days after his birth, prophets from Warri visited his parents with a singular message: "A prophet has been born who shall minister in God's presence." Though raised in a Muslim home, the call of God on his life could not be suppressed.
Today he stands as the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International — a movement spanning continents — and CEO of Celebration TV, reaching over two billion people in 100+ nations daily. He holds a Professorship in World Mission and is founder of the Touch of Love Foundation.
A prophet to the nations. A voice of restoration, fire, and power — carrying the divine mandate to wipe out tears and ignite destinies across every continent of the earth.
1994
The Globe Vision — A Power Ministry
On June 20th, 1994, while on evangelism in Benin City, he saw a vision: the globe being placed in his hands with Acts 10:38 inscribed on it. He understood immediately — it was a mandate to demonstrate divine power across the world. Not a local assignment, but a global commission.
1998
The Audible Voice — Grace for the Holy Spirit
On 29th April 1998, while serving in Lagos at the Armour of God Church in Ikeja, God spoke audibly: "I have given you the grace to manifest the reality of my Spirit, and I will make you an example of wealth in your generation." The ministry would be Holy Spirit-controlled in every dimension.
1998
The Angel Encounter — Grace for the Word
On November 11th, 1998, while in prayer, an Angel appeared and handed him a Bible, saying: "Receive grace to open the seals and interpret." This was the final piece — insight into the Word of God would anchor all that was to come, giving the ministry its prophetic precision and scriptural depth.
