Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, has urged Christians to recognize and confront the tension between their upbringing and their God-given purpose. In a recent YouTube sermon, he emphasized that destiny is often determined by the choices people make when facing the internal struggle between past experiences and future potential.
Suleman explained that life frequently presents a conflict between inherited identity and divine calling. Using the story of Moses as a vivid illustration, he said, “Sometimes there is a battle between what you are raised to be and what you are born to be.” According to him, Moses’ encounter with an Egyptian and an Israelite symbolized this clash.
“The Egyptian represents his past, while the Israelite represents his future. Moses killed his past. He took out his past,” Suleman declared, noting that the act was more than an instance of defense. It was a conscious rejection of an old identity tied to bondage and a decisive step toward fulfilling God’s purpose.
The cleric encouraged believers to learn from Moses’ example, emphasizing that growth often requires letting go of negative patterns, limiting beliefs, or past mistakes that hold them back. He urged Christians not to fear confronting and “killing” their past in order to walk confidently into their ordained future.
Suleman further advised the congregation to reflect on their lives, identify areas of their past that may be limiting growth, and actively pursue the purpose for which they were created. His message resonated with many in attendance, reinforcing his focus on practical biblical interpretation.
Ultimately, Suleman stressed that the journey toward destiny is rarely without conflict, but victory comes when individuals deliberately choose their future over their past. By consciously rejecting what no longer serves them, believers can embrace their divine purpose and step fully into the life they were born to lead
