Apostle Arome Osayi, founder of Remnant Christian Network (RCN), has warned Nigerians against publicly insulting ministers of God, declaring that such actions would attract divine consequences.
Apostle Arome issued the warning in a video circulating on social media and obtained by Religion Journalism Foundation, in which he said people who insult individuals serving in Christian ministry would not escape the consequences of their actions.
Apostle Arome has been a subject of criticism over the recent months for his claims that he visits heaven often and have encounters with Jesus.
“Many people have risen up to insult me in public places. None of those insults will go unattended because I am in the service of Jesus. None of them,” he said. “The next time you decide who to insult, check well. If by any means that person is in the service of Jesus, it will not go unpunished.”
He insisted that his warning was supported by biblical teachings. “I have scripture for what I’m saying,” he added.
Meanwhile, he predicted that Nigeria would experience another visitation from God, one that would bring significant changes to the country following a period of divine judgement associated with deaths and the downfall of influential people.
According to him, the visitation would be quiet and would empower what he described as genuine labourers rather than those seeking public attention.
“Whenever you begin to see people die, the Lord is going to visit Nigeria one more time because the judgement will take place before the visitation,” he declared
He said the development would alter the country’s future, although he did not provide a specific timeline for the event.
“The visitation will be a quiet one. It will exclude noisemakers. It will empower true labourers,” Apostle Arome said. “When you hear the noise of death, of the sword, of giants falling, know that He has come to his house to purge it. I announce to you that the slain of the Lord will be many.”
The preacher, however, did not identify the individuals he described as giants, specify who might die or explain when the predicted events would occur. His remarks have attracted attention amid wider public debate about his teachings and claims of supernatural encounters.
