“I am civil engineer without anything to show for it. Since 2015 I have not done any job. As a result, I was highly indebted to many people. The people I was indebted to started looking for me with some law enforcement agents. Their security search made me to start hiding from one place to the other. My wife was the one taking good care of me. Little did I know that my friend who was very close to me did something against me and locked up my job with some evil powers. I suffered serious setback as my situation could be summarized as “from hand to mouth.” Near-success syndrome became my experience. In fact, I was disorganized for years without job. Sir, my wife assisted me to contact you and when we did early this year, you instructed me to order three bottles of your oil and to pray with same. By the grace of God, I was able to do it through the help of my wife; when I got the oil, it was a day of happiness as I became convinced that my problems would certainly come to an end. We started the prayer together and my wife encouraged me so much. After the prayer, my friend called me and apologized to me and asked me to come to his house. I did not go as his confessions threatened me and my relationship with him. When I called you, I was instructed to go by you. When I eventually went, he sincerely opened up to me and I prayed for him and forgave him. I want to inform you, sir, that through him I got four good jobs as compensation. I am so happy that God has restored me through the same hands that brought my downfall. God is great sir…God bless you so much for doing this for me…”

“Prof, I want to start by thanking God for what he has been using you to do in the lives of people, which I am a witness. I am one of those who love reading The Sun newspaper because of your column. When I heard of your anointing oil, I was very reluctant to place an order; after reading the testimony of Engr. Peter, I decided to reach you and you asked me to order the oil. When I did, I did not disobey any of the instructions. The moment I ended my prayer, I started experiencing breakthrough in my life. I also noticed that joy and happiness came back into my life. One other amazing miracle that happened was the fact that I was already programmed for a surgical operation and, after using the oil, the sickness vanished and I now see myself as a giant. I must confess, sir, there is power in the oil and I appreciate God on your behalf. May God keep you for humanity.” – Bro Robison
In the words of George Bernard Shaw, “Common people do not pray; they only beg.” Reinhold Niebuhr prayed thus, “God give me the serenity to accept things which cannot be changed; give me courage to change things which must be changed; and the wisdom to distinguish one from the other.”
I want to say here that I have been misunderstood by many of my readers in view of my philosophical, radical cum scholastic approach to many issues. I am a Christian philosopher who does not play or joke with the name of God the Almighty. A preacher of the good news, one who was set free from the swamp of satanic manipulations that now enjoys the presence of my savior the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Like Michelangelo, “I live and love in God’s peculiar light,” and like Shakespeare, “Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my king, he would not in mine age have left me naked to mine enemies.” Therefore, I am an ambassador of CHRIST who strictly believes in the great philosophy of love-Christ, but on the other hand, against the credo built in error which has hitherto given rise to many pseudo religions men developed from the teachings of Christ which Christ Himself has not approved.
The misconception of our Lord’s Prayer, together with the biblical teachings of Christ concerning prayer, have truly turned many Christians to sacred beggars. Prayer is generally defined as man’s means of communicating with God. The wrong application of this definition has erroneously conditioned the thinking of man, where he now positions himself to query, probe and command His maker – God. So many religious leaders have through their sustained theological traditions, continued to awaken this error with their artificial convictions that God will through their barren error have mercy and answer them one day. This ignoble belief system having been nourished by reading ungrounded cum emotional Christian literatures have continued to witness the praise of this era.
Consequent upon the increase in this false view, back to sender has hitherto become the twin brother of fire for fire and the use of Holy Ghost fire has continued to enjoy more patronage by those whose spiritual knowledge are bereft of the esoteric philosophy of prayer. The mass acceptance of error has conditioned our minds to the extent that we find it difficult to change our views as to welcome new ideas that are capable of elevating our consciousness to the higher scale of spiritual survival.
As an Ambassador of Divine Kingdom, hitherto set free from the ignoble religious gloom of the metaphysical empire of the subjective systems, there is no doubt that a personality like me, must be sustained daily by fervent prayer oozing out from me without season. This may be misunderstood by some by religious traditionalist who bewail about the daily religious confusion.
The Church-man’s view of this expression is the result of the daily noise makings in our various congregations. However, I am fully aware of many Christian literatures that have devoted their time writing on prayer, but regardless of what anybody or group of people may say, I write from profound experience! Earthmen, the philosophy of prayer has it that thoughts that are hidden unspoken, and unexpressed are not hidden or unknown to the creator of human race. In my terms, unalloyed desire is prayer, and no loss can occur from trusting God strongly with our godly desires. Now before our desires are exalted and take the forms of words and deeds, they undoubtedly become a reality from a higher spiritual dimension unknown to man. It is consequent upon the above that a desire set in motion by a good Christian, hungering after righteousness, and blessed by the father of life, does not return void without attracting homogeneously the cosmic will of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Prayer cannot change the ultimate will of God! I stand to be corrected but not from mere emotional perspective. I have seen some people even here in the so-called white man’s land asking God to be good as well as humbly imploring him to continue to be God. This neither makes God to react negatively nor positively. When a Christian urges God to continue to be God and to do good, it means from the parlance of logic that the fellow contributed in making Him God and good. The primordial Lord cannot do more nor less than He has always done, and all that He has always done are the greatest ever done on earth. He is not moved by human praise to do things that are not in His agenda.
Yes He does not grant anything on the basis of human praise, for He looks at the heart and not the lips. Prayer does not forgive sins rather it brightens our relationship with God, for it is only God who forgives our sins
A request for God to save us is not all that is required, the habit of pleading with God as if one is pleading with human being is an error that impedes our spiritual growth and turns God to our emotional mate. Father give me this and that is the daily watchword of many Christians. Some now treat God the way lawyers are treated, they only remember lawyers when they have problem, and as a result, they remember God when they have need. This is very wrong! Men too have misconduct themselves while in the presence of God by trying to remind God of his words as if God can forget any bit of it. Our father is love personified; can we ask Him to be more? God is intelligent, He is all knowing therefore, can man his product inform Him of anything He does not already comprehend? He is Omnipresent; can we recall any thing for Him? Asking God to be good and God, is an error on our various pulpit, for God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He says, “If you that are evil know how to do good to your children, how much shall your father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask” Matt 7:11.
