United States based lawyer, High Chief Owolabi Salis, has arrived back to base after a two-week pilgrimage to the North Pole.
Salis, who is also the spiritual leader of The Soul Maker’s Ministry worldwide, urged African governments and its people to pay strong attention to their roots arguing that there is a strong bond of connection between the spiritual economy and the physical world economy.
“Paying strong heed and cognisance to your roots has the tendency of lifting Africans out of the present predicament that lamentably locates them at the backwaters of developments in the contemporary global order,” Salis said, adding that “It is unfortunate that the majority of Africans presently worship foreign spirits which do not have their back.”
In December 2023, he also embarked on a pilgrimage to the distant and extreme end of the planet Earth, the South Pole. Thus, his recent religious tourism to the remarkably frigid zones of the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, made him the first Nigerian ever to explore both the North and South Poles within a season.
A statement made available to thesun.ng posted out that “Our planet Earth is a mote of dust suspended by a sunbeam. In the Universe, everything is created in diversity and all are following a set of rules which suggests the presence of a Spirit Being which not only sets the rules, but is also in charge.
“Human beings are a living being made of a soul and a body. To many, the soul is a spirit and people worship because of the soul. The custodian of the soul in our body is the heart which keeps pumping and coordinates with the head to manage the entire body.
“Both the body and the soul have to be maintained for good living. You maintain your body by bathing, applying lotion and all that. You maintain your soul through worshiping the soul maker. Some people maintain their body in a dirty way such as bathing with infected water. Same way some maintain their soul by facing or worshiping stones, woods, human beings or any form of idols.
“When you worship anything, you are submitting your spirit to it. In other words, you are submitting your soul to that thing. After some time, whatever you worship may start to control you.
“The question is who made and gave you the soul to come to this world and live as a living being? Ordinarily, the response which automatically evokes from the fore-going is the natural and logical concept of The Soul Maker, who is the Commander-in-Chief of your life; the one that gives the soul and the one that can take it.
“This is your first root to life. The Soul Maker gave you the soul to live, therefore, it is the only one worthy of your worship because if you worship anything you are submitting your soul to it.
“The mystery is that a spirit being is responsible for creating that soul and bringing us to life. Many people call this spirit being different names in different cultures and many nations have idols and national gods that were repackaged and promoted to the world as the universal spirit being when indeed, it is not. It is just apt and proper to use the phrase name for the spirit being which in English means the Soul Maker, that is the person who makes the soul.This frees us from attaching an idolish name to that spirit being.
“It is important to free yourself from attaching an idolish imagery or concept to that spirit being or to the soul because the soul that was delivered to give life unto everyone is a pure soul which is very fragile. If you attach an idolish tag, concept or imagery to it, you infest and corrupt the soul and that marks the beginning of earthly problems of various nature
“Devotees are to avoid facing or worshiping stones, woods, metals, human beings or any form of idols, because it corrupts and infests the holiness of your soul.
“If you worship anything other than The Soul Maker who is the Almighty Lord of the Universe, you do not deserve to live and your soul may not be reposed. This is because you have dishonored the ma
