Apostle Johnson Suleman and his wife
Suleman advised the church to read the holy book on their phones when they are anywhere else aside from the church of God.
Popular Nigerian pastor, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has urged his
church members to desist from reading the bible from their phones or
tablets.
The pastor noted that the holy book says open the book not open the
phone. The pastor who is the general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries
explained that while reading the bible on a phone is not a sin, it is
disrespectful to God. Suleman advised the church to read the holy book
on their phones when they are anywhere else aside from the church of
God.
The pastor, who further expressed that he knows people would say
there was no technology when the bible was written, noted that God is
all seeing, and he would have known there would be technology at some
point.
He said: “Do not bring your Iphone, IPad, any device to church
to read your Bible from it….You can do that in your office, you can do
that anywhere, but to read your Bible from your phone when you are in
church, it doesn’t show reference to God…..John 5 : 39 says search the
scripture, it didn’t say punch the scripture….”
However, Nigerian comedian Wale Gates who is based in the United
Kingdom countered the pastor's preaching, claiming that Suleman is only
against using phones to stop people from fact checking what he says.
Gates said: "Don't bring phone or tablet to Church - Pastor
Suleiman AKA OTOBO JOCKEY The reason he doesn't want you to bring your
device to church is Bcos he doesn't want you to Fact-check his BS in
Real-time. It's all about control."
