Apostle Arome Osayi on his facial palsy diagnosis
In the footage, Osayi recounted visiting a doctor during a mission trip to London, where he received the diagnosis for the first time.
"The moment I saw the doctor, he said, 'This is palsy 7, facial palsy.' I didn't know he had a name," he said.
He disclosed that he had prayed and fasted for healing but received what he described as a divine response telling him the condition would remain permanently.
"God said he will not heal it. I will leave it like that. This is how he wants me to be," he shared.
Rather than expressing bitterness, Osayi framed the condition as a spiritual anchor. He described what he called "the lamp of the spirit of adoption," a concept he said provides an inner sense of identity that makes external physical realities feel secondary. According to him, this inner light protects against depression and feelings of inadequacy.

"I don't even remember how my face looks, really. Because there is a lamp I have inside that gives me insight into who I am beyond my face," he explained.
The video's renewed circulation comes after VeryDarkMan repeatedly targeted Osayi following the cleric's comment about Nigeria and China's calling.
