In a message of congratulations, Apostle Suleman, who prides himself as ‘a favourite godson’ of the revered cleric, wrote: “I want to congratulate you, daddy, on the 40th year anniversary as the general overseer of RCCG. May Heaven keep you for us, so we can continually draw from your wealth of wisdom. It is four decades of outstanding leadership already. Happy anniversary, my father.”
Meanwhile, the Pentecostal Christian missionary is about to witness a milestone accomplishment, as the Apostle Suleman’s ministry, OFM, marks the 17th anniversary of its establishment. It was gathered that the evangelistic gathering to be held at the ministry’s Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria headquarters, would be first and biggest of such crusades in the New Year.
Declaring on his social media handle recently, Apostle Suleman simply wrote; “Great thing about to happen”, a reference to the planned mega event which date will be announced anytime soon. Sources within the church said that the programme is connected to the anniversary celebration tagged ‘Ebenezer 2021’, holding in February.
With such appellations as ‘Oracle of God’, The Restoration Apostle’ and other such motivating nicknames, Suleman's status as one of the most respected modern day preaching and healing pastors in the world, is not in dispute.
Across continents where branches of his ministry are based, huge day-long redemption rallies are staged characterized by mass mobilization, with Apostle Suleman displaying his oratory best and stage command.
At the end of the programme, lives are restored and his sermons do have an individual touch on the audiences who are greatly inspired, via his messages of redemptive hope, to have personal relationships with Christ.
