Real Miracle or Theatrics?
Several public figures, including reality TV star Pere Egbi, actress Jemima Osunde, and some medical practitioners, openly reacted to the authenticity of the healing, especially the sudden mobility of people said to have been disabled for several years.
As reactions continued to pour in, Apostle Johnson Suleman stepped into the conversation to defend Pastor Chris and address those doubting the miracle.
Speaking during a church service on Sunday, January 25, 2026, Apostle Suleman insisted that miracles are real and that Pastor Chris’ ministry has long been associated with signs and wonders.
Miracles are real, Apostle Suleman insists
According to him, Christian faith is not built on logic or common sense, stressing that miracles will never make sense to people who are not open to experiencing them.
He explained that trying to convince sceptics with arguments is often pointless, noting that it is the Holy Spirit, not human reasoning, that convinces people about spiritual realities.
Apostle Suleman further referenced 2 Corinthians 4:4, saying the minds of some people are blinded, which is why no explanation will ever be enough for them unless they personally experience a miracle.
He added that when people mock miracles or challenge pastors to perform them in hospitals, they miss the point, stressing that miracles do not happen in an atmosphere of doubt or competition.
According to him, miracles are not tools to prove one’s calling but manifestations that happen by divine timing and faith.

@navysealz007 said:
"Firstly no one doubts about miracle, they only asked for evidence as NBC also asked for evidence. Asking for evidence isn't wrong. Secondly hospital have gone to the church on several occasions and didn't receive miracle. I guess you will say they didn't have faith."
@emmruobe noted:
"Religion makes you a better pretender, not a better person. Are you going to lie against him ?. if you know the truth????"
@CletusChinanu added:
"Miracles are not meant to be explained. If you doubt them, let God give you one—that is the only true proof."
