When Nothing
Is Working

My name is Tolu. And I want to tell you about the worst season of my life.

I am not someone who gives up easily. Ask anyone who knows me. I pray. I fast. I give. I attend every service, every programme, every all-night vigil my church organises. I have confessed scriptures over my life more times than I can count.

But for three years, the same problems followed me everywhere I went.

The business I started with everything I had kept failing — not because of bad ideas, but because something would always go wrong at the last moment. The deal would fall through. The partner would pull out. The money would come and disappear before I could breathe.

My marriage was under pressure. My husband and I were good people who loved each other — but there was a tension in our home that we could not explain and could not resolve no matter how hard we tried.

And the financial pressure. Every month felt like walking on a treadmill. Moving. Sweating. Exhausted. But going nowhere.

Maybe you have asked that question. Maybe you are asking it right now, quietly, in the back of your mind, even as you read these words.

I kept smiling in church. Kept saying "God is working." Kept showing up. But inside — I was running out of faith. Not faith in God. But faith that things could actually change for me specifically.

Then Someone Told Me Something That Changed Everything

A woman in my Bible study group — someone I had known for years — pulled me aside one evening. She had been watching me. She could see what I was hiding behind my smile.

She said: "Tolu, some problems are not ordinary problems. You cannot fight them the same way you fight ordinary challenges. They have spiritual roots. And those roots require a specific type of prayer to break — not general prayer, not casual prayer. Specific, targeted, consistent deliverance prayer."

She handed me a prayer guide. I went home, sat on my bedroom floor at midnight, and began praying through it.

I am not going to exaggerate and tell you everything changed in one night. It did not. But something shifted in my spirit. For the first time in three years, I felt like I was actually fighting — not just enduring.

Four weeks later, a business deal that had been stalled for eight months suddenly came through. My husband and I had a conversation that broke something open between us that had been closed for a long time. The financial pressure did not disappear overnight — but something in the pattern began to break.

I Started Sharing It With Other People

First it was my sister in Enugu. She had been believing God for marriage for six years. I told her what I had learned about deliverance prayer. She prayed through the midnight section specifically for three consecutive nights.

She is getting married next month.

Then my colleague at work — Emmanuel — who had been stuck in the same job level for four years despite being more qualified than the people being promoted above him. He prayed the prayers against invisible barriers and ancestral patterns.

He called me two weeks later: "I do not know how to explain this. They just offered me a position I did not even apply for."

Then my friend Clara, who had been dealing with financial stagnation so persistent that her children used to describe her as someone under a curse. She prayed the midnight prayers for seven nights.

She called me crying — not from pain, but because for the first time in eleven years of marriage, she and her husband were not fighting about money.

So I Documented Everything Into One Book

I spent three months writing, organising, and structuring everything I had learned about deliverance prayer into a guide that any believer could follow — whether you have been praying for years or whether you are just beginning to understand that some battles require a different kind of fight.

I wanted it to be simple. Direct. Something you could open at midnight, pray through, and feel the difference immediately in your spirit.

That book is When Nothing Is Working — Deliverance Prayers for Stubborn Problems That Refuse to End.

The Real Reason Your Problem Refuses to End

Let me explain something that most Christians are never taught — and that I believe is the single biggest reason why so many faithful, hardworking, God-fearing believers remain stuck despite years of prayer.

Not all problems are primarily natural problems. Some have spiritual dimensions that must be addressed at a spiritual level before anything changes in the natural. And the way you address a spiritual problem is not with more effort, more positive thinking, or even more prayer in general.

It is with specific, targeted, authoritative prayer — the kind that identifies the root of the problem, speaks directly to it, and does not stop until it breaks.

If you have been praying general prayers over a specific, deeply rooted spiritual problem — you have been using the right weapon in the wrong way. This book will show you how to use it correctly.
