Apostle Johnson Suleman criticizes Pastor Arome Osayi’s claims of trips to heaven, calling out bold lies while sharing his powerful 40 day fasting experience.
The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has sparked intense public reactions across social media following a live sermon where he openly criticized Pastor Arome Osayi and other preachers who claim to visit heaven repeatedly, calling their statements bold lies and unscriptural tall tales.
The controversy broke out after a video clip from his church service was posted on Instagram by popular blog manager Mazi Tunde Ednut and reshared across multiple digital platforms.
Speaking directly to thousands of church members and online viewers, the popular cleric questioned how people in modern times claim to meet biblical prophets in heaven and return to Earth as if nothing happened.
Addressing the growing trend of ministers telling public stories about traveling to heaven multiple times, Apostle Johnson Suleman stated that many of such claims are completely false and lack spiritual backing.
Expressing his deep disbelief over the claims made by some preachers in this era, Apostle Johnson Suleman declared: “People in this generation say they’ve gone to heaven five times. These people are bold, and they lie.”
The cleric went further to question stories where preachers claim to walk around heaven, hold long meetings with ancient biblical leaders, and then simply return home to Nigeria to resume normal routines.
Mocking the details of such heavenly testimonies during his live sermon, Apostle Johnson Suleman added: “They say they saw Paul and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, then they come back to Nigeria.”
To illustrate what real divine encounters and heavy spiritual power look like, Apostle Suleman shared a personal experience from his early ministry days after completing a strict 40 day dry fast.

He explained that true spiritual power carries a heavy physical weight and a visible heavenly aura that affects everyone who comes close.
Recalling the intense spiritual aura that surrounded him after finishing his first 40 day fast, Apostle Johnson Suleman revealed: “When my sister hugged me, she went down. Someone who opened the gate for me was shaking like he was convulsing and couldn’t move because of the aura walking around me after my first 40 days fasting.”
Describing what happened when he later gathered with fellow believers for group prayers following his extended fast, the cleric noted that the tangible presence of God was so overwhelming that people could not stand on their feet.
Detailing the manifestation of divine power during the prayer session, Apostle Suleman shared: “I went to pray with brethren, and they were shaking and falling.”
By contrasting his physical experience of spiritual power with claims of effortless trips to heaven, the preacher urged Christians to exercise caution and avoid falling for unverified spiritual claims.
The viral sermon video continues to drive heavy debate across Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube as Christians discuss the reality of heavenly encounters.
