COVID-19: Apostle Suleman And Five Thousand Dollar Healing Challenge By Leo Igwe by boman2014: 10:36pm On May 03, 2020 |
Apostle Suleman, will you accept the challenge this time? Is there any pastor who could rise to the occasion? A coronavirus stricken world is waiting to benefit from your healing powers. Once again I am challenging, the founder of Omega Ministries, Apostle Suleman, to heal a coronavirus patient and get a sum of money, this time a higher amount-five thousand US dollars. I am throwing the challenge one more time because Suleman has in his response refused to categorically accept or decline the offer. Suleman seemed to imply that the amount, which I had earlier advanced was little. Let's not forget that in his widely circulated video, Apostle Suleman offered to heal COVID19 patients for free. Thus a thousand dollars offered for him to perform the same activity could not have been a disincentive. I have castigated Suleman for being insensitive and for pretending to have a cure for a virus that has killed tens of thousands of people worldwide I urged the NCDC to sanction him for evangelical recklessness, and for advancing propositions that could lead to the spread of the infection and more deaths. In the article, I made it clear that Apostle Suleman was peddling bogus therapeutic claims given the fact that there was no evidence that prayer could heal any bacterial or viral infection or any disease at all. Surprisingly, this insightful comment did not go down well with this pastor. And in his reply, Suleman denounced me. He adjudged my statement as 'nonsense', stating that God was bigger than the coronavirus. I said well, if he believed that prayer had any medical efficacy, and could heal COVID19 patients, then he should come forward and prove it under scientific conditions. Apostle Suleman boasted that he could heal 18 out of 20 patients. I asked this televangelist to heal just one coronavirus patient and go home with seed money of a thousand dollars. Is that not a good offer? Is that amount not more than the monthly tithes of some of his church members? I even went further to give him an alternative option. That, in a situation where legal and ethical concerns stopped him from accessing and healing a COVID19 patient, he could faith-heal an HIV patient at the same fee. Was that not magnanimous? Instead of taking advantage of this historic opportunity to demonstrate his faith healing abilities, Apostle Suleman resorted to being evasive and making excuses. He stated that he would send me details of the people he had healed. Did I ask him for that? No. Did I challenge him to produce the names of those that he had healed? Not at all. He went further to indulge in personal attacks, describing the one thousand dollars that I offered as a sign that I was 'broke' and 'poor'. I mean, that was not the issue at stake. I did not challenge Apostle Suleman to a show of wealth; to demonstrate if he was rich or if he was richer than me. I asked him to prove in a way that was scientifically confirmable that he could heal a COVID19 patient as he claimed. That was all. Once again he dodged the matter and could not demonstrate his ability to heal a patient through prayer. Now it could be that Apostle Suleman was unable to accept the challenge because the amount was too small as he hinted. So a higher amount could get him to perform. Look the world urgently needs a cure for the coronavirus. There is no better point in human history that the healing power is needed than now. The world is literally in lockdown and many local and international businesses have been grounded due to the coronavirus pandemic. So it is proper to incentivize the discovery of a cure or a healing facility even at a paltry sum. Anyone who claims to have an ability to heal by faith and prayer should be allowed to demonstrate it even if at an extra cost. Apostle Suleman should bear in mind that if he succeeds in healing a COVID19 patient through prayer, he would instantly become a billionaire. He would be richer than the Bill Gates of this world and then stop relying on tithes and offering. And who turns down such an opportunity for a financial breakthrough? That was why after some thoughtful consideration, I decided to challenge Apostle Suleman again. This time I am challenging him to demonstrate his so-called gift or power of healing a COVID19/HIV person and take home five thousand dollars. This healing performance will take place under agreed scientific conditions and the money will be handed over to Suleman after the healing has been confirmed. I hope that Suleman accepts the challenge this time so that the world would bear witness to his special gift. Whether for a fee or for free, Suleman should come forward and prove his faith healing abilities. No more excuses! And if perchance, Apostle Suleman forges another alibi, and declines this healing challenge. If he refuses to rise to the occasion as he did when I offered a thousand dollars, I hope other pastors who claim to have such powers would come forward and heal a COVID/ HIV patient through prayers and take home the sum of money. Apostle Suleman, will you accept the challenge this time? Is there any pastor who could rise to the occasion?

Many people don't sign up for this. Many pastors claim they can heal any sickness by the power of Jesus , why is that not happening ? What is God waiting for? Many of his faithful are dead because of this virus. So sir, I employ u to address the issues. Thanks 4 Likes |

ExAngel007: I am not God or Jesus defender, God is big enough to fight for himself... Now as regards issue of healing, God's original plan and purpose is for us not to get sick talkless of healing. We are not meant to be sick talkless of getting healed. Though he made provision for healing incase of sickness. As regard christians that are sick, it all boils down to level of knowledge. God himself said " My people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge", God admitted that they are his people, but they are getting destroyed cos they have no knowledge of him. You will always be a victim to any area of your life where you don't have the knowledge of God. Someone might have the knowledge of what God's word said about his career and excel in that area but lack what God had said about his health and be bedridden. Those days when had malaria and other sickness , I will take drugs, pray, visit hospital and get healed. But December 2015, I found it in God's word that I was not meant to be sick talkless of needing to be healed. That was the Last time I ever took drugs and I knew no more sickness. Forget about someone is a christian and he's sick, most of us are hypocrites including myself. We don't know God or Jesus, we arw just church goers. Some of us are just ceremonial members. I used to be a ceremonial church goer until I quit and then saw the hands of God in my life. Knowing him experimentally not just about being identified with him. If Paul could say " That I may know him and the power of his resurrection" who am I to say I know him?. 2 Likes 1 Share |

God heals , not man. the so called HIV or corona virus patient have the grace or believe to get healed ? in Nigeria where almost everyone is a sinner will get healed ? the God i serve does not heal people because someone ask him to heal. even Jesus Christ ( my lord and personal savior ) did not attend to the saran challenge. you don't test God. if sinners repent from their sins and are ready to accept God as their Lord and personal savior and believe. they will be healed by prayer by anyone even a 2yr old. that is what you MUST know. Spirituality have conditions that science do not meet. |

How is it that I am just coming across the Nobel Igwe name for the first time? The man sounds like a funny guy. BTW What did he mean by: "I urged the NCDC to sanction him for evangelical recklessness..."? How does that work though since the NCDC isn't really a sanctioning body/agency? That said, I think the 5000 USD is still "chicken feed" considering the fact that we are talking about COVID-19 here. Somebody should help Mr Nobel ramp it up to 500,000. That should sweeten the challenge a bit for the "Apostle". How about that? Big bucks for big challenge. |
