I don't believe he was a prophet or an apostle. I don't believe he healed anybody. If look at his own words he said a number of things I don't believe actually happened.

‘’…In the mid
-night of the seventh day ending the fast the Lord appeared to me physically and it was then I knew it was the Lord that had been speaking with me.
‘’
The first thing he asked me was whether I want to eat to which I replied in the affirmative. I had been asleep but he woke me and asked me to stand and I stood with great fear and trepidation to such an extent that I was naked. The lamp had been put off when I wanted to sleep notwithstanding the whole room was lighted with such intensity of illumination and brightness as of that supplied by ten suns in its strength.
‘’
Jesus Christ stood before me in sparkling white garment touching the ground but He did not say a thing. But there was another being standing who was so tall that his head reached the sky who was talking to me. He told me that Jesus Christ standing here was the One who gave him the mandate to
come and call me and to talk to me.’’

He was given some signs. Thereafter the other being gave him half a tuber of yam to eat which he ate without delay. The angel told him that with that ration he fed the world in a given year. This was probably the key to his super human energy, capacity and resilience that made him to go on 40-day
fast without food, work for days at a stretch without any sign of fatigue or stress, pray continuously for days without ceasing and without strain, as we shall see later in this story.
Hmmm
But i believe in him
