My blood brother was abroad, buying houses and cars, I never asked him for a single dime,”—Apostle Johnson Suleman

Apostle Johnson Suleman has urged individuals to avoid a sense of entitlement when interacting with wealthy or influential people, cautioning that such attitudes can strain relationships and lead to missed opportunities.

Speaking during a recent sermon, the cleric emphasized the importance of respecting personal boundaries and recognizing that everyone has a right to their own resources. According to him, expecting favors or handouts often creates tension and can alienate even the most generous individuals.

Drawing from his personal experience, Suleman shared how he maintained independence despite his brother’s success abroad. “Don’t feel entitled, my blood brother, same mother, same father. He was abroad, buying houses, cars, yet I didn’t ask him for a dime,” he recounted. “His money is his money. My money is my money.”

He recalled a conversation with his brother where the topic of financial support came up. Suleman explained that his response reflected his belief in self-reliance and trusting God’s provision. “One time he asked me, ‘I never do something for you.’ I said, bro, it’s your money. Your money is your money. I’m not angry at all,” he said.

The preacher further warned that external influences can encourage entitlement and create unnecessary dissatisfaction. “I see people around great individuals, and others start asking, ‘What have they done for you?’ These people are actually poisoning you, trying to uproot you from where God has placed you,” Suleman explained.

He concluded by stressing the value of loyalty, humility, and responsibility in maintaining meaningful relationships. “You’ll be so shocked how loyal they will be,” he noted, adding that opportunists often wait for others to abandon their place before taking advantage.
