Johnson Suleman (born Johnson Sule; 24 March 1971) is a Nigerian televangelist and the senior pastor and general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International,[1] a church with its headquarters in Auchi, Edo State.[2][3][4][5] After working as an assistant pastor in the Armor of God Church in Lagos from 1998,[6] he started Omega Fire Ministries in 2004.

He identifies fellow Nigerian pastor Enoch Adeboye as his ‘spiritual father’.[7]

Early life

Suleman was born Johnson Sule on the 24th March 1971, to Mrs Esther Sule and Hon. Imoudu Sule.[8]

Suleman, who then had an “insatiable thirst for God”, claimed the revelation made him understand he had to spread the gospel around the world through a ministry. He also has a biological younger brother named Dr Sule Emmanuel, who was formerly a pastor in the South African branch of Suleman’s Omega Fire Ministries International.[9]

Suleman had his primary and secondary education in Auchi. And according to the fiery preacher he became a millionaire at the age of 19 while he was still schooling, having then had a job of moving cocoa in trucks from his state to the northern states of Nigeria.[10]

Suleman claims to have grown up under the tutelage of the late Benson Idahosa prior to the formation of Omega Fire Ministries International,[11] but he does have an informal father–son relationship with Ayo Oritsejafor having previously submitted under his ministry.[12]
