Lagos Popular Pastor and Senior Pastor of Covenant Singles and Married Ministries, Pastor Chris Ojigbani, has accused the presiding Pastor of the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) Worldwide Apostle Johnson Suleiman of misleading Christians through the teaching of wrong doctrines.
Pastor Ojigbani totally condemns Apostle Suleiman’s teaching which permits his members to leave a marriage if they found out that a spouse had lied about their status just to deceive them into the marriage.
Apostle Suleiman was quoted in his penultimate week’s teaching saying “You entered marriage with somebody who you discovered told you a destiny lie; a lady had no womb, she hid it from you, a man was impotent, he hid it from you. Now you are married you found out he’s impotent”.
“I’m not saying he told you before marriage and both of you decided to pray about it, that’s understandable. But he lied! And he’s impotent. She lied! And she has no womb. And you already enter. Get out”.
According to Suleiman, It’s not divorce because before the sight of God, that is no marriage, that is deception. It’s not divorce, its dissolve. In the law court, that is not marriage that man can be sued and can be arrested.
Ojigbani in reaction to Suleiman’s teaching said, ‘I was so shocked when I watched the video. The most annoying part of it, is the fact that he used the law court to support his teaching. In Christianity, it is very wrong to use the law as your basis of teaching. In Christianity, we use the Holy Bible as our basis of authority. So let us go to the Bible and correct the wrong teaching’.
“What has the Bible got to say concerning divorce? The first thing I would like you to know about marriage is that marriage is a covenant, a covenant between a man and his wife, and God confirms it.”
Speaking further Ojigbani said “I also want to use this opportunity to sound a note of warning. Make sure you don’t teach wrong doctrines, especially in the area of marriage. Because if I hear any wrong doctrine that is being taught, I will correct it. And I will not correct it in the secret. I will correct it openly just as the Bible prescribes.
Enough is enough! We are tired of wrong teachings. They are too many. The marriage institution has been destroyed today because of wrong teachings. Enough is enough! Let’s make sure that every message we teach is correct before teaching. If you are not sure it’s correct, please don’t teach it.”
