It examines the influence of this message within the African Pentecostal movement, emphasizing the risks it poses to believers' faith and the potential disillusionment that arises when followers invest their trust and resources in seemingly effective but ultimately misleading formulas. The research addresses the cultural and spiritual implications of this phenomenon in post-colonial Africa.
