On October 15th 1970 Samuel McCullough became a poet. Years later "Gods Oracle" was born. Samuel has been blessed (by God) to share the gift of Spoken Word. His testimony speaks of how he suffered a disorder, which was designed to keep him from ever knowing how to speak. From the age of five, God's Oracle was plagued with a stuttering disorder. It was such a problem, that his peers labeled him as "Stuttering Sam", due to the fact that he was unable to carry a sentence of more than three words. However, Samuel loved to read to himself. For this was the only time he did not experience his stuttering disorder.

Samuel/God's Oracle had a plan, if he could only remove the insecurities, which powered his thoughts, then he would be cured. At the age 15, most of the children he knew were outside playing, however Samuel stayed in his room reading the Bible "out loud" to himself. He would practice this every day for 7 months (without fail) until his stuttering no longer existed. Samuel then took his new found ability and became a skilled Rapper. Samuel was well on his way to recording an album when something happened. The Lord imparted in him the gift of salvation. Samuel decided to turn down the record deal and pursue Gods purpose. RL "Tha Gifted One" a fellow Poet/Deacon at his church, along with his brother/Poet Steven " Tha Real", inspired him to try his hand at Spoken Word. Since then… Samuel he has not looked back. Today, he first gives all the glory to GOD for his mercy and goodness. Secondly, he thanks his two mentors (Steve and RL), for whom he will always be grateful and loyal to for taking him under their respective wings.

Samuel has performed at several colleges and spoken word events. He was a finalist in "The McDonald's Gospel fest". He has performed at Madison Square, Garden sharing the stage with Aretha Franklin, Cissy Houston, Donnie McClurkin and Vickie Winans. Samuel is still new to the Spoken Word genre. He has professionally been performing for the last 3 years. The Oracle is very selective in regards to when and where he will perform. Samuel states, "I want to make sure that every time I minister through GODS spoken word, that it does what God intends for it to do." He is currently working on a book and CD and DVD entitled…"Tha word made flesh" which is a collection of his Holy Spirit inspired poems. However, don't expect the usual stuff, each poem is a uniquely designed "verbal movie". Its purpose is to heal, set free, deliver, change and inspire.

He is currently a member of the World Changers Church in College Park GA, under the teachings of Pastors Creflo and Taffi Dollar    . Other mentors are , Kerwin & Yolanda Lee, Berean Christian Church in Stone Mountain. Bishop Eddie L. Long, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, Lithonia GA.   Prophetess Juanita Bynum , Reverends Floyd and Elaine Flake , Allen Cathedral Queens NY . Samuel's future plans is to reach the masses with Gods word so they may learn and know Jesus. Samuel is also a member of Poetry In The Light Organization .
