Apostle Suleman’s Teachings: Prayer Doesn’t Change Things, It Changes Man To Change Things
Apostle Suleman’s Teachings:
Prayer Doesn’t Change Things, It Changes Man To Change Things
To say that prayer changes things is not as close to the truth as saying, prayer changes man and then man changes things. This is the teaching about the study of God’s workings delivered by man of God and general overseer of the Omega Fire Ministry (OFM) worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman.
According to Apostle Suleman who is today ending a two-day prophetic conference being held in Kumba, Cameroun, tagged ‘Intimacy 2024’, “prayer doesn’t change things; it changes you till things change. So, if you don’t see answers now, it means you are being changed, soon things will change.”
There’s something about engaging God in prayer about a situation, the ‘Restoration Apostle’s lecture suggests: God wants to help, but God wants to help you in His way. That means He wants to change you first for things to change. His answer will be the answer He thinks you need, not necessarily the one you need. We do not tell God that this is the answer we want. That is a prayer mistake. God knows us and our situation better than we do. And His answer will reflect that.
His timing is not ours. We erroneously think that once we pray, the solution will be instantaneous. It’s not. God knows what is going on and all of the pieces that need to come together before the answer will come. Changing us is the optimal response for things to change.
Scripturally, Jacob was a great prayer warrior. He knew how to stand alone in the place of prayer. He knew how to challenge God in prayer for his demand, and won’t let go until God moved to deliver his request. But things changed when he had a changed name, not just answers to prayer. Jacob had a new personality, identity, and story.
Apostle Suleman teaches that, when we pray and the situation does not seem changing, from God’s perspective, things are changing but He is changing us first. He works most of His solutions away from our sight. Sometimes, changing us ahead of changing our situation is God’s way of growing our faith.
One of the most intriguing aspects of prayer is that it’s intended to change the one praying. It’s intended to get us on God’s page, to help us to see the wisdom of His perfect will, and to bring us to want what God wants rather than what we want. What the praying man does is to bring his will into line with the will of God so that God can do what He has all along been willing to do. Thus, prayer changes the man and enables God to change things in answer to man’s prayer, the man of God elucidates, praying that believers are blessed with the Spirit of grace and supplication, thereby making us engage passionately in the prayer and return with undeniable transformation on all sides.

Revival Atmosphere as Dominion City Launches Night of Glory 2026.
Revival Atmosphere as Dominion City Launches Night of Glory 2026.
Lagos – The atmosphere was charged with faith, worship, and expectancy as Dominion City’s Global Camp Meeting 2026 entered its peak with the first day of the “Night of Glory,” drawing thousands of worshippers to Lagos and Enugu in a powerful display of spiritual revival.
Held at the Golden Heart Place, Ajah, Lagos, the Friday evening gathering marked a significant moment in the ongoing six-day conference themed “Redigging the Wells of Our Fathers.” Participants from across Nigeria and beyond converged both physically and online, united by a shared hunger for divine encounter and transformation.
From the outset, the meeting was characterised by intense worship sessions led by gospel ministers, creating an atmosphere many attendees described as “tangible with God’s presence.” The night quickly transitioned into sessions of fervent prayers, prophetic ministrations, and teachings centred on restoration, healing, and spiritual awakening.
Presiding over the meeting, Dr. David Ogbueli, founder of Dominion City, charged participants to reconnect with foundational truths and spiritual disciplines necessary for personal and societal transformation. He emphasised that the “Night of Glory” was designed as a moment of divine visitation where destinies could be reshaped.
“As we redig the wells of our fathers, we are reconnecting with ancient graces and covenant realities that produce undeniable results,” he declared.
As the night unfolded, several remarkable testimonies were shared, reinforcing the theme of supernatural intervention. Among them was the case of a 14-year-old girl who was reportedly delivered from a seven-year struggle with pornography addiction, an experience that drew emotional reactions from the congregation.
Other testimonies included reported healing from cancer, recovery from a severe skin infection attributed to spiritual affliction, the healing of a heart-related condition, and three years of a non-menstrual period. Attendees also recounted instances of restored hearing and sight, with individuals testifying to improvements from partial deafness and blindness, among others.
Fathers of faith present were Barrister Emeka Nwankpa, Pastor Yemi Ayodele, Rev. Pade Tokun, Apostle Gbenga Adegbenro, Rev. Mike Adegbile, and others. Other Ministers present, including Pastor Dr. Charles Ndifon, Pastor Randy Mitchell, Apostle Ikechukwu Nnajiofor, and others, reinforced messages of faith and the power of God to intervene in human situations. They encouraged worshippers to remain steadfast and receptive, noting that miracles often spring from an atmosphere of unwavering belief.
Beyond the miraculous, the gathering also underscored a broader call to moral and spiritual renewal. Church leaders reiterated the need for believers to embody values that can positively influence society, especially in a time of perceived moral decline.
The “Night of Glory” is part of the larger Global Camp Meeting, which began on April 1 and will run through April 6, featuring daily teachings, leadership sessions, and specialized programmes for youths and families.
Organisers say expectations remain high for the second night, with many believing that the wave of miracles and transformation witnessed on the first night is only the beginning.
For many attendees, however, the message was clear beyond the signs and wonders; the true essence of the gathering lies in a renewed commitment to live transformed lives and impact society. //END.//

Easter: Obasa Urges Christians To Embrace Hope, Unity, Renewal
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has congratulated Christian faithful in Lagos and across Nigeria on the celebration of Easter, urging them to draw strength from the lessons of Christ’s resurrection.
In his Easter message, released by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Dave Agboola, Obasa described the season as a reminder of victory over despair, renewal after trials, and the triumph of light over darkness. He noted that just as Christ overcame death, Nigeria can overcome its current challenges if citizens remain steadfast, prayerful, and committed to unity.
“Easter is a season of hope and renewal. As a nation, we face economic pressures and security concerns, but the resurrection teaches us that no situation is beyond redemption. Let us roll away the stones of division and despair, and work together for peace, justice, and prosperity,” the Speaker said.
He called on Lagosians to continue to show love and compassion to one another, stressing that collective effort is key to building a stronger Lagos and a better Nigeria.
Obasa prayed that the joy of Easter would fill homes with renewed faith and guide both leaders and citizens toward a brighter future.
