Pope Francis made a surprise appearance in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday morning during a special Jubilee Mass for the sick and health care workers.

The pontiff, who was rolled into the square on a wheelchair, was making his first public appearance at the Vatican since being released from hospital two weeks earlier.

As he made his way to the altar at the square, he waved at the crowd. “Good Sunday to everyone,” said the pope. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

The pope’s voice sounded louder and stronger than when he spoke outside Gemelli hospital on 23 March, the day of his release. He had been battling life-threatening pneumonia during a five-week stay there.

In an Angelus Sunday prayer written by the pope himself and read out by Archbishop Rino Fisichella, the pontiff said: “I pray for doctors, nurses and health care workers, who are not always able to work in adequate conditions and are sometimes even victims of aggression.”

“Their mission is not easy, and they must be supported and respected. I hope that the necessary resources will be invested in treatment and research, so that health care systems will be inclusive and attentive to the poor and the most fragile.”

He also thanked the inmates of Rebibbia women’s prison, who had sent him a card wishing him a quick recovery. “I pray for them and for their families,” he wrote, before wishing for peace in places affected by war, as well as more aid for Myanmar and Haiti.

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has declared that a time will come when the church’s Governing Council will hold its meetings on the moon. The prominent cleric made the statement during a recent church programme, attributing the revelation to a divine message from God.

Adeboye, who is widely respected for his spiritual leadership within and beyond Nigeria, acknowledged the extraordinary nature of the prophecy but emphasized his unwavering belief in God’s ability to bring it to pass.

“I know with God all things are possible,” he said during the service. “He told me a time will come when the RCCG Governing Council will hold its meetings on the moon. It may not make sense, but that’s God. You don’t have to believe it—but it will come to pass.”

The statement has since drawn varied reactions among followers and observers, with some viewing it as a testament to faith and others questioning the feasibility of such a scenario.

Nigerian Catholic priest, Rev Fr Chinenye Oluoma, has tagged those who say ‘Holy Ghost fire’ prayers against their enemies as antichrist.

Oluoma said that such persons do not have the spirit of Christ but rather the spirit of the antichrist.

The cleric stated this in a video posted on his verified Facebook page on Thursday.

According to him, there was never a time ‘holy ghost fire’ was used for deliverance, noting that what is used for deliverance is ‘in the name of Jesus Christ’.

He added, “Those who are anointed get transformed. And what matters under your anointing is the Spirit of God that possesses you.

“So let me tell you now, anybody who prays ‘Holy Ghost fire’ against his or her enemies, that person does not have the Spirit of God, or that person has expelled the Spirit of God for himself or herself.

“If you pray ‘Holy Ghost fire’ against your enemies, you do not have the Spirit of Christ. What you have is the spirit of the antichrist. In fact, you are one of the antichrists.

“If you pray: “Every enemy who said, I will not make it this year, I say holy ghost fire,” you are an antichrist.

“People don’t like this message. “Holy Ghost fire” prayers against your enemies, whether they are in the village or they are in town, whether they are your uncles – your uncle that denied you something, or that stole your mother’s land or whatever – if you are among those who invoke holy ghost fire to destroy your enemies. You don’t have the spirit of Christ. What you have is antichrist spirit. Many Christians are antichrists and they don’t know.”

“So I’m now I’m giving you one of the characteristics of the antichrist – those who say ‘Holy Ghost fire’ prayers.

“Even in deliverance – those who do deliverance – there was never a time holy ghost fire was used for deliverance. What is used for deliverance is ‘in the name of Jesus Christ’.

“How we came to make holy ghost fire part of prayer is still a case study. The Bible said, whatever you ask the Father in my name, then your generation of Christians now have made holy ghost fire a prayer condiment.

“Not even in deliverance, when you are facing real person who is possessed, it is in the name of Jesus Christ that evil spirits are cast out. It’s not with holy ghost fire, but in your clime you people use holy ghost fire more for your enemies.
If you are in a place where they’re saying that kind of prayer begin to enlighten them.”
