Senior Pastor of the Omega Fire Ministries International (OFM), Apostle Johnson Suleman, has said he and his family will not take a jab of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Apostle Suleman, as seen in a viral video, said his decision is based on something he saw medically about the vaccine.
Lamenting the reported restrictions placed on those who are yet to be vaccinated, Apostle Suleman said he’s ready to stand his ground if the vaccine is made mandatory.
Suleman said: “There is a vaccine that’s going on that people are taking now. After you take the vaccine, you are still to wear your face mask, you are still to do social distancing, you are still not to shake hands with people, you are still to do every protocol.
“Some people have come up with all kind of theories, I don’t know what they call conspiracy but I could know that it’s theories and some say it’s the mark of the beast.
“Some say it’s the Antichrist but I’ve said to you before that, when the Antichrist will come, we will not be here. We would have been gone. I don’t say it is spiritual but I see something medical, that thing is not good and I’m hearing in some places now, they are making it compulsory.
“See people are watching online, they will misunderstand me. If you want to take it, take it but I’ll advise anybody who has consciousness not to take it, it’s not healthy.

“Nobody should force it on anybody, it should be optional. If you want to take it, take it. If you don’t want to take it, don’t take it. Nobody should force the vaccine on anybody.
“Now I’m hearing that they said if you don’t have it you can’t travel, that’s nonsense. Whoever doesn’t want to take it, should not take it.
