3. Enigmatic
4. Mesmerising
5. Embarrassing
6. Taunting
7. Ridiculing
8. Emasculating
9. Perplexing

• It is only the Almighty God that can proffer divine solutions.
• Very many have been overpowered by these mysterious, coded problems, some
have died, some are just wasting away, some are sleeping and waking with
them without knowing the source of the problems talk less of solutions.
• Enigmatic, repeated afflictions are very discomforting. They make victims very
miserable and sad.
• That is why Enquiry/Investigative prayers are needed.
• Enquiry prayers are needed:
1. To dissolve coded mysteries frustrating us.
2. To unveil issues shrouded in darkness.

holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our
God, and shall fear because of thee.”
5. To log on into the secret chamber of God and download secrets and divine
solutions.
6. To unlock ancient disturbing and embarrassing mysteries waging war against
you.
7. To know what is behind a complex, repeated and prolonged attack in your life.
8. To see the hole in the wall leading to deep secrets.
