MY ESCAPE TO A NEW LIFE
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Prov.22,6.
This is a story of God's works - mighty, wonderful and mysterios in the obedience to the command of JESUS CHRIST to me saying "Go and testify what I have done for you".
One usually thinks of misfortune as an act of fate and that we can do nothing to alter the events of our lives. To an extent this is true. In the case of a child of God, his life is planned (Prov.16,9). Whether that plan is fulfilled or not depends on a number of factors - the individual's closeness to God; his view about the ultimate purpose of life and the socio-spiritual enviroment he finds himself.
The course of your life is challenged by some external factors. The crisis is reached when you give over your WILL one way or the other; for good or evil. You can love or hate. To can wish to understand or misunderstand. The will to obey is the greatest of a new born Christian while the will to disobey is the most destroying force of a sinner.
A child when left alone in the world is controlled by one of two powers: good or bad, right or wrong, God or the Devil. Everyone is challenged by these two forces of life, and each must choose which life he must live; and I believe that is why the bible says "train up a child in the way he should go and when he grows he will not depart from it." You will agree that the dearest and closest person to any child's heart is his mother. An orphan is an unfortunate child and more exposed to attacks of the Devil than children with parents. Mother is a 'protector' of body and soul but it becomes double tragedy when both parents are lost and more so in most mysterios circumstances.
My story started 22 years ago in a little village called Amerie Iriegbu Osu Item in Bende local Government Authority, Imo state. My parents were not classiefied among the rich but my dad was priviledged to inherit 2 hectares of land from my grandfather, a blessing which has today brought the greatest misfortune ever recorded in the history of the family. My dad was greatly envied by his distant and near relations for reasons I do not know, perhaps for his vas land inheritance.
We were a happy family, my parents having got four of us: Love, Margaret, Emmanuel and Chinyere. After having the first two daughters, my parents waited for fourteen years before having me (the only son) and later my younger sister, Chinyere. This brought real happiness to the family but this happiness was shortlived as the first tragedy struck. My lovely and caring mother dies. She was alleged to have dies owing to witchcraft, and four years later my father died, again through an alleged work of juju invoked against him. Two years after the death of both parents my eldest sister, Love, disappeared mysteriously and Margaret the second daughter of my parents went mental. It was a chain of tragedies in the life of a humble and otherwise happy family. My younger sister, Chinyere and I were sent to our garnd parents. There I completed my elementary education and was later admitted into Item High School. I read up to class 3 and dropped out of school as a result of lack of funds for fees etc. Shortly after that, my grand parents also died. After all the ceremonies that go with the burials, and unknown 'relation' collected my younger sister Chinyere, and up to this date I do not know her whereabouts. I was forced by severe maltreatments to go back to my father's house, and there to live alone at the age of 13 years. How does a child of 13 years feed himself in the midst of his father's enemies and consequently his own enemies? How very fraid I was. These events seemed to have brought me to the end of worthwhile living. Was there anyone who cared? Was there anyone who was concerned about "A
LITTLE BOY'S MISFORTUNE?
One day I met a friend I knew during my elementary school days nemd Chinedum Onwukwe. Chinedum loved me very much and having heard all that befell me took me to his parents who really received me and took me in as a second son. Life came back to normal again. I was well cared for. I was happy again: then I knew that the God my mother prayed to when she was alive was alive somewhere hence He had provided me with new parents, so I thought in my mind. I enjoyed this goodness for about two years and then the Devil struck again.
Chinedum and his parents were travelling to Umuahia and their car ran into a tipper carrying laterites. Chinedum and his parents died on the spot! On hearing the news I collapsed. My sorrow could better be imagined. I managed to survive through the burial ceremony, supplying those cooking with firewoods and running erands: at the end of which I went back to my father's house and resumed the menial jobs to be able to feed.
I continues to do odd jobs on the farm, in gardens, going fishing with elders until one day, a man from my compound hired me to work in his farm for 50k. At the farm he subjected me to a series of questions. First, he asked me to show him my father's lands. Secondly, to hand over some of the lands to him. Thirdly, that after working for him the wages would be an evening meal in his house. To start with, how could a 13 year old boy have know his father's lands, and what right has a boy of that age, to hand over such lands to a man, no matter how closely related he was. In either case I objected and he was offended. He then vowed to kill me in the forest, I became afraid and ran and shouted for help. Unfortunately because the area was far into the thick forest no one came, but help came from God. He pursued me with his knife but being younger I was too fast for him and fell into a pit og about 1.82 meters deep and was covered by the grass in it. He searched for me and after a while he gave up. I later struggled out of the pit and through another route returned to the village. I reported the incident to the elders in the compound but no action was taken - the common plight of orphans. This incident created real hatered in my heart; no one loved me, no one cared. I reflected in my mind why anyone would want to kill me knowing I had no parents. Life was full of misery. Now I know that God in his love restrained the Devil from suggesting suicide to me.
I turned to the church and became a full member of the Assemblies of God Church in my village (I still am) but unfortunately no one cared even when some of the members knew about me. It is omportant to note that I became a full member of the church without knowing Jesus Christ. I never knew what it meant to be BORN AGAIN. If you are in the church of Jesus Christ and find yourself in the situation I found myself, give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ. The scripture says "Let him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything concerning you (2,Peter 5,7).
In the midst of all these hardship and suffering ALICE appeared. Alice was a girl I knew during my elementary school days. She was five years older and from the same village. We were in the same class, sat on the same bench and became very friendly. With the childhood 'love' affair we promised 'getting married' when we were older. RIDICULOUS! A child of 11 years then, without parents, no education, no food to eat, promising marriage to a girl five years his senior. Alice later left for Akure for her secondary education and sent me dozens of 'love' letters.
The next time I met Alice, I was 15 years and she was 20. She had finished her secondary school education and was working with the Standard Bank Lagos (now First Bank) where her parents lived.
Alice, having known my background and my plight, took advantage of it. She talked me into joining her in Lagos and handed me her house address with #50! That was a fortune for a young boy of 15 years who had never earned up to #2.00 a day. This was manna from heaven and this meant that Lagos must be a wonderful place with plenty of money and good things of life for all to enjoy. Then I must go to Lagos to make my own money and get riches too. Going to Lagos to my mind, was my ONLY WAS OF ESCAPE. Escape from my father's enemies, escape from my enemies, escape from hunger and ALL my problems. ESCAPE! ESCAPE! Yes, escape from ALL THAT IS EVIL!!!
THE INITIATION
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Prov. 14,12). "The wicked are like the troubeled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirty. There is no peace, saith my God to the wicked." (Isiah 57,20-21).
And life outside Jesus Christ is exactly as stated in the above Scriptures. I left my village armed with #50.00 and the address given to me by Alice, escaping to FREEDOM, LIBERTY, ENJOYMENT and all that go with them; but as you will se later, it was far from what I had conceived in my young heart. When I arrived in Lagos, it was so beautiful in my eyes and I compared it with Heaven, whatevery Heaven is like. I saw all those tall and beautiful buildings and on each face I could see happiness (so I thought). People appeared very busy, each one minding his / her own business. I was excited and said to myself, NOW I KNOW I AM FREE!
I arrived at Akintola Road, Victoria Island and was well received by Alice and her parents. The parents knew me and my backgrond as we came from the same village but never knew of my relationship with their daughter. Alice then introduced me to them as the man she had "chosen" to marry. The parents were shocked but after some discussions with her, agreed on the condition that they would further my education. Alice rejected their offer and requested that I be allowed to live with her in her own flat. The parents could not accept this but she insisted. They had a strong argument for four days and under some unexplained influence agreed and I moved in with Alice.
Alice, a very beautiful girl, told me she was an accountant with the Standard Bank and that she would make me rich and give me all that I neededin this life and said "just settle down and enjoy yourself". My first impression of Lagos was true afterall; few months ago I was in a small village surrounded by hatered, starvation and suffering and here I am, living in a big city, in a well furnished flat with a beautiful wife who had promised to give me all that life could offer. She showered me with gifts, money, clothing, 'love' etc. I never knew the world was filled with these 'good things'. The devil indeed is a deceiver. The scripture rightly says "The thiesf comes not but to steal, to kill and to destroy, ONLY the Son of man (JESUS CHRIST) can give life and give it more abundantly (John 10,10). Dear reader, the devil has no free gift! Whatever he gives you is for an exchange with your soul. This state of euphoria was short-lived, because after a perios of three months strange things started happening.
THE MYSTERIOUS EXPERIENCES
One night, I woke up in the dead of the night and found a boa-constrictor
beside me. I wanted to shout but could not. Some nights I would wake up to see
Alice's body as transparent as a cellophane bag. Some nights, she would
disappear and reappear. Some night I would hear strange noises or dancings in
the living room etc. I could no longer bear these fearful happenings so I
decided to ask her, and the first reaction was violence and serious warning. She
said:
"Do not ask me this question again or else I will deal with you".
From then I knew my life was in danger. I then preferred the suffering in the village to what I came to discover. I became afraid of her. Two days passed and she came with smiles, gifts and hugged me: she told me how much she loved and cared for me and encouraged me not to be afraid and promised to explain things to me later. She took me to a night club and there reminded me of her promise to make me rich etc., and told me - ONE DAY YOU WILL KNOW ALL THAT I KNOW! We came back and life continued as normal between us but inwardly I knew I was in danger, but how could I escape and where would I escape to? It is important to note here that Alice's parents did not know that their daughter, though youngm was involved seriously in occltism and spiritism and she seriously warned me not to tell them if I loved my life. Dear reader, can you imagine, a 20 year old girl doing all these things? The outside world saw her as a very beautiful and harmless girl working with a big bank but she was the devil's agent. There are a lot of Alices in the world today as you will find out later in this book.
A HORRORFUL DISCOVERY
One day, after she ahd left for work, I decided to search that flat. As young as she was, the flat was well furnished. She had four refridgerators and on opening one, I saw human skulls, different parts of the human body both fresh and dry. Inside the ceiling were skeletons. In another corner of one of the rooms I saw (what I later knew as a 'chamber') a water-pot filled with blood and a small tree in the centre of the pot, a clabash and a red cloth by it. I could not continue. Now I knew I was a dead man and since I had nowhere to run to, I surrendered my life to whatever comes, life or death and kept sealed lips. Alice came back from work and from the way she looked at me I knew that right in her office she knew what I did in the house.
ENCOUNTER WITH THE OCCULT WORLD
The following day she requested me to follow her to a meeting. I was already a captive and had no choice. We went to a very big building on the outskirt of Lagos. On arriving (the building had an underground conference hall), I was instructed by Alice to enter backwards. I obeyed and entered with my back, she also did the same. The hall was so large with about 500 young men and women seated in a circle, and seated above them was a man whose head could only be seen and without a body, as the leader. Some of the young people were students, undergraduates, graduates, teachers etc. Alice pressed a botton on the wall and a seat out from the ground and I sat. She did the same and another came out for her and she sat. She introduced me to the congregation as a new member and they applauded and welcomed me. Alice was promoted as a result of this. All that they discussed in the meeting I never understood. At the end of it and as we were about to leave, I was asked to come back alone the following day by the leader. This was my first encounter with the occult world.
The same night, at 2.00 a.m. (and this is the usual hour of meetings and
dangerous operations be all the forces of darkness and their agents). Alice woke
me up and revealed startling things to me. She said:
"I am not an ordinary
human being. I am half human and half spirit but mainly of the spirit: what you
see in my chamber is what I use during my prayers every morning so that the
spirits will guide me through the day, as for the skeletons I will tell you
later."
I never said a word. She brought out some books on word mysteries for me to
read, and with me inquisitive mind I decided to read them. Shortly, I became
interested and immediately she saw that I was now interested, unknown to me, she
sent my name to an Occult Society in India.
As previously instructed, the
following day I went back to the society alone and there met nine others and
some witnesses. We were all initiated. We were called out to the centre of the
hall and the following things were administered to us: -
1. A concoction that
looked like putty was rubbed on our bodies. This qualifies you as full
MEMBER.
2. A glass of shot of oil-like liquid was given to us to drink. This
qualifies you to be an AGENT.
3. A gun-powder like substance was rubbed on
out heads. This qualifies you to STUDY THEIR MYSTERIES.
Unknown also to me, this initiation ceremony was being recorded in India and the next day I received a letter from them. In the letter I was instructed to stain the letter with my own blood and to post it back to them through means they described, not the Post office. I did. From this point, there was no turning back; turning back meant death as one was always reminded and I knew there was no more hope for me.
COVENANT WITH ALICE
Early in the morning, she told me there was an improtant ceremony to be
performed in the house. At 2.00 a.m. she brought a crawling child, a girl,
alive. Before my eys, Alice used her fingers and plucked out the child's eyes.
The cry of that child broke my heart. She then slaughtered the child into pieces
and poured both the blood and the flesh into a tray and asked me to eat. I
refused. She looked straight at me and what came out of her eyes cannot be
explained in wiriting. Before I knew what was happening, I was not only chewing
the meat but also licking the blood. While this was happening she said:
"This
is a covenant between us, you will never say out anything you see me do or
anything about me to any human on earth. The day you break this covenant your
own is gone."
Meaning the day I break this covenant I will be killed. After
this incidence I started having strange feelings inside me. I was changed and
could no longer control myself. A word of warning to mothers. Do you know your
househelps? What is his/her background like? Do you care to find out all about
him/her before entrusting the lives of your children etc. to him/her? How did
Alice get the little child she slaughtered, you may ask. Therefore parents, know
the background of your househelps.
When Alice saw that she had succeeded in getting me fully involved in SPIRITISM and was fast growing in it; she was satisfied and knew that her mission was acomplished. She found a flat for me, helped me furnish it and thereafter severed the relationship.
COVENANT IN INDIA
The society in Delhi, India sent me a second letter asking me to come over to
India. In it also I was instructed to do the following:
"eat excreta, eat
decaying smelling rats, and have sexual intercourse with spirits in the cemetery
at night."
After fulfulling the above I was bound never to have any sexual
intercourse with any woman on earth. I sent a reply to their letter informing
them that I had no visa neither do I know how to get to India. At this time I
had strated doing 'business'. I was a serious smuggler but because of these
powers behind me I had no trouble with customs etc. I started having a lot of
money. Food and materials were no longer scarce. One day, I locked my flat and
went out; coming back, I opened the door and behold a man was sitting in the
parlour. I was afraid. He said "are you not Immanuel Amo?" I said I am. He said
"I have been sent to come and collect you to India, so get ready." I locked
everywhere, went and set beside him on the cussion ready for the next order. But
like lightening, he touched me and we vanished. The next place I saw myself was
in a big conference hall in Delhi, India with a large congregation already
seated and ready to welcome us. They bought out files where my name had already
been written and asked me to sign beside it. I did. A tray containing human
flesh, cut in pieces with a basin of blood was brought. An empty jug was given
to each person, then a man without a head went round pouring the blood and flesh
into the jugs. Different canle and incenses were being burnt also. The headless
man made some incantations and everyone drank the blood and ate the meat, and
the meeting was over.
THE INITIATIONS IN INDIA
Now the period of my testing had come. I was sent to a valley about 200
meters deep. In it were assorted dangerous reptiles and wild beasts. These were
to torture me. I was not to shout, for if I did I have failed the exam and the
consequence was DEATH. After 7 days of agony I was brought out and sent to a
place called 'INDIA JUNGLE'. In this jungle, I saw different types of demonic
birds; demonic because some had faces like dogs, some like cats etc., yet with
wings. Inside this jungle is a cave, and this cave is only opened by these
demonic birds. They opened the cave and went inside. The things I saw are hard
to explain. There were terrible creatures, some looked like human beings but
with tails and without human faces etc. This was another place of torture. The
torture can best be described as semi-hell. I was in that state for 7 days and
was brought out. I was then sent to a very big library that contained large
volumes of mystic books to study. I later picked two books, Abbysinia - which
means destruction, and Assinia - which means giving life or curing. Later I was
given more books. I was instructed to build a chamber as soon as I returned to
Nigeria with the following things in it:
"a native water pot filled with
human blood, a living tree inside; a human skull, vulture feathers, wils
animal's skins, boa skin and big shiny laterites besides the pot."
The blood
inside the pot is to be taken every morning with an incantation. I was also
instructed never to eat any food cooked by HUMAN but that I would be fed
supernaturally. With all these instructions I came back to Nigeria the same way
I went and fulfilled all.
BACK HOME IN NIGERIA
I had now become a part and parcel of the spirit world and could at will to any part of the world. According to the books I brought, spirit beings are living in space. Perhaps they would increase my power, so I decided to try. I came out of my house, made some incantations and called the wild wind and disappeared. I found myself in space and saw these spirit beings. What do you want, they asked; I told them I wanted powers. I came back to earth after two weeks having acquired powers from them. Like I said earlier, I still needed more and more powers! I then decided to go into the underworld to prove what was written in the books given to me. One day I went to a hidden place in the bush, made some incantations as stated in the books and commanded the ground to open. The ground opened and the demons created steps immediately. I stepped in and went right inside the ground. There was otal darkness that can only be compared with one of the plagues that occurred in Egypt as recovered in the Bible. I saw a lot of things that are hard to explain. I saw people chained, people used for making money - their duties are to work day and night to supply money to their captors. I saw SOME ELITE SECRET SOCIETY MEMBERS who came in to do some sacrifices and would go back to the world with some gifts given to them by the spirits controlling the place. I saw some CHURCH LEADERS who came for powers, powers to say a thing and it is accepted without questioning the church. I stayed for two weeks and came back after receiving more powers. People saw me as young and innocent but never knew I was dangerous. There are lots of such people around; only those in Jesus Christ are safe in the real sence of safety.
COVENANT WITH THE QUEEN OF THE COAST
One evening, I decided to have a walk. Along Ebute Metta Bus stop, I saw a young beautiful lady standing. I never spoke a word to her. The next day while passing also I saw her still at the same spot. The third day I saw her still at the same spot and while passing she called me. I stopped and introduced myself to her as Emmanuel Amos but she refused introducing herself. I asked her her name and address but she only laughed. She asked me mine and I told her the street ONLY. When I was about leaving, she said she would visit me one day. In my mind I said "that was impossible, I did not give her my house number how could she them come". But true to her words, I heard a knock on my door after a week of that meeting at the bus stop. There she was, that mysterious lady! I welcomed her (in my mind, I wondered who this beautiful lady was, and did she know that she was threading on dangerous grounds?) I entertained her and then she left. After this first visit, her visits became regular without any relationship. I noticed that in her visits she kept to a particular time, and would not come a minute earlier or later! In some of her visits I would take her to the Lagos Barbeach, or to the Paramount Hotel or Ambassador Hotel etc. Alle these while she still did not tell me her name. I decided not to worry since I knew the relationship would not develop more than that. I had already been instructed never to touch a woman.
Suddenly she changed the day visits to nights. During one of the visits she told me - "now it is time for you to visit me." We stayed together that night and at 8.00 a.m. the following day we took off. We joined a buss and she told the driver to stop us at the barbeach. As we stopped I asked her, "where are we going?" She said, "Don't worry, you are going to know my house". She took me to a corner of the barbeach, used something like a belt and tied around us and immediately a force came from behind and pushed us into the sea. We started flying on the surface of the water and straight to the ocean. Dear reader, these happened in my physical form! At a point we sank into the seabed and to my surprise I saw us walking along an express way. We moved into a city with a lot of people all very busy.
THE SPIRIT WORLD
I saw laboratories, like science lab., designing lab., and a theatre. At the
back of the city O saw young beautiful girls and handsome young men. No old
people. She introduced me to them and I was welcomed. She took me to a place
called 'darkroom', a 'drying room' and a 'packing room'. She then took me to a
main factory and warehouse and then came back to her own private mansion. There
she sat me down and told me:
"I am the QUEEN OF THE COAST and would like very
much to work with you, I promise to give you wealth and all that go with it,
protection and all that go with it, life and an 'angel' to guide you."
She
pressed a button and a tray came out with human flesh (in pieces) in it and we
ate it together. She commanded a boa to appear and then asked me to swallow it.
I could not. She insisted but I could not, how could I swallow a life boa. She
then use her powers and I swallowed it. These three covenants:
THE HUMAN
FLESH and BLOOD, the BOA and the DEMONIC ANGEL were always there to make sure no
secret was revealed. But the 'angel' was given power to discipline meif I went
astray and also to bring me food from the sea anytime I was here on earth. I
promised to obey hher always. After this promise she took me to another part of
the ocean, this time an island. There were trees and each one of these trees had
different duties:
- tree for poisoning
- tree for killing
- tree for
invoking, and
- tree for cure
She gave me powers to change to all kinds of
sea animals like hypopotamus, boa constrictor and crocodile and then she
vanished. I stayed in the sea for a week and through one of the means mentioned
above (as crocodile) I came back to the world.
THE UNDERWORLD LABORATORIES
I stayed in Lagos for a week and went back to the sea, this time for two months. I went into the scientific laboratories to see what was happening. I saw psychiatrists and scientists all working very seriously. The work of these scientists is to design beautiful things like flashy cars etc., latest weapons and to know the mystery of this world. If it were possible to know the pillar of the world they could have, but thank God, ONLY GOD KNOWS. I moved into the designed room and there I saw many samples of cloth, perfumes and assorted types of cosmetics. All these things according to Lucifer are to distracts men's attention from the Almighty God. I also saw different designs of electronics, computers and alarms. THERE WAS ALSO A T.V. FROM WHERE THEY KNEW THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS IN THE WORLD. THERE YOU WILL SEE AND DIFFERENTIATE THOSE WHO ARE CHURCH GOERS FROM THOSE WHO ARE REAL CHRISTIANS.
I then moved from the laboratories to the 'dark room' and 'drying room'. The dark room is where they kill any disobedient member. They kill by first draining the person's blood and then send the person to the machine room where he/she will be grinded to powder and then send the dust to the 'sack room' where they will be bagged and kept for native doctors to collect for theor charms. There are more things which are hard to explain in writing. Despite all these powers in me, I was not yet qualified to meet with Lucifer but only qualified to be his agent. All the same I was satisfied that I now had powers and could face, challenge and destroy things at will. Could there be any other power anywhere? I mused within my mind.
THE WICKED REIGN
"The thief comes not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I have come that they may have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10,10).
On returning to Lagos, I continued in my business and after two weeks I went back to the sea. The Queen of the Coast gave me what she called her "first assignment" - I should go to my village and kill my uncle, a prominent powerful native doctor who was responsible, according to her, for the death of my parents. I obeyed and went but having not killed before, I didn't have the courage to kill him, rather I destroyed his medicines and rendered him powerless. As a result of this act he lost all his customers till this date. I came back to give a report of my assignment but she was wrath with me. She said, the consequence of disobeying her instructions was death, but because of her love for me she would send me back to the same village to kill two elders who she said gave a helping hand in the killing of my parents. Whether this was a punishment for disobeying her or not I did not know; however, I obeyed and went back to the village and 'managed' to kill these men and sent their blood to her.
As a result of the mysterious circumstances of their death the elders in the village went to inquire from another powerful native doctor, who normallt sent lightening, to investigate the killer. Unfortunately for these men, I met the native doctor in the spirit where he was consulting with the spirits and warned him not to say anything if he loved his life. He went out and told the elders to go home and beg one of their sons whom they had offended and never mentioned my name. The lightening he sent returned and struck in their midst killing some and leaving many wounded. After this first act, the powers in me started manifesting themselves. I would deform a girl for refusing me friendship etc.
MY MEETING WITH SATAN
I later went back to Lagos. One day, a girl called Ninna came to me. Ninna
whose parents were from Anambra State was a very beautiful young girl but lived
mostly in the sea, i.e. the underwater spirit world. She was an ardent agent of
the Queen of the Coast and vey wicked. She hated the Christians to the core and
would go all the length to fight Christianity. I first met her during my first
visit to the sea. Ninna came for ann errand from the Queen of the Coast. We left
immediatelyand on reaching there I learnt of our having a conference with
Lucifer - Satan. In this meeting he gave us the following instructions:
- To
fight the believers and not the unbelievers, the unbelievers are already
his.
When he said this, one of us asked "why?" He said that the reason was
that
God drove him out of that place (he refused to call the word 'Heaven'
and all throughout our meetings with him he never mentioned the word ' Heaven'
rather he would always use the word 'that place') because of pride and therefore
HE DOES NOT WANT ANY CHRISTIANS TO GET THERE - Heaven.
He also told us that
we should not fight the hypocrites. "They are like me" he said.
He continued his speech and said, we should only fight the real Christians. THAT HIS TIME WAS NEAR THEREFORE WE SHOULD FIGHT AS NEVER BEFORE AND MAKE SURE NO ONE ENTERS "THAT PLACE". So one of us asked him: "We hear that Gid has sent someone to rescue mankind back to God" Satan then asked "who is that?". ONE MEMBER ANSWERED "JESUS"AND TO OUR GREATEST SURPRISE, LUCIFER FELL FROM HIS SEAT. He shouted at the man and warned him never to mention that name in any of our meetings if he loves his life. IT IS TRUE THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE MUST BOW (Phil. 2,10) including Satan.
After this incident he encouraged us and told us not to mind these
Chrustians, that he Lucifer would soon come to rule the world and would give us,
his agents, a better place so that we would not suffer with the rest of the
world and would make us rulers. HE CONTINUED THAT SINCE MAN LIKES FLASHY AND
FANCIFUL THINGS HE WOULD CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE THESE THINGS AND MAKE SURE MAN
HAS NO TIME FOR HIS GOD AND THAT HE WOULD USE THE FOLLOWING TO DESTROY THE
CHURCH.
1. Money
2. Wealth
3. Women
At the end of this speech he dismissed the meeting. This was my first meeting with Satan. Several others followed after this meeting. As we were leaving, the Queen of the Coast, who now appears in different forms, invited me to her mansion; inserted human ashes with other things inside the bones of my two legs: a STONE (not ordinary stone) in my finger and something else inside the bone of my right hand. Each of these things had their duties. The stone in my finger was to KNOW THE THOUGHT OF ANYONE AGAINST ME. The one in my right hand was to EMPOWER ME TO DESTROY and the ones in the legs are to make me more hardened and so BECOME MORE DANGEROUS and also to enable me to CHANGE TO A WOMAN, BEAST, BIRD, CAT etc. She took me to one of the laboratories and gave me a telescope, T.V. and video. These were not ordinary things but these are what were to be used in detecting born again Christians and the church goers inside the church. Finally SHE GAVE ME SIXTEEN GIRLS TO WORK AS MY AGENTS. NINNA WAS ONE OF THEM. I came back to Lagos armed with the above mentioned 'gifts'.
TRANSFORMED INTO SATANS AGENT
I HAD NO HUMAN FEELINGS OR MERCY IN MY HEART ANY LONGER. I went into operation immidiately and DESTROYED FIVE DUPLEX at a go. They all sunk inside the ground with all it's inhabitants. This happened in Lagos in August 1982. The contractor was held responsible for not laying a good foundation and he paid dearly for it. A LOT OF DESTRUCTIONS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD TODAY ARE NOT MAN MADE. The devil's duty is to steal, kill and destroy. I say it again, SATAN HAS NO FREE GIFT.
I went into CAUSING ACCIDENTS ON THE ROADS etc. A case I would like to mention is about a young convert who went about testifying of his salvation and deliverance. He was causing a lot of harm in the spirit world for doing this, so I planned for him. One day he was on a luxurious bus to Lagos. He had an appointment where he was to give his testimony. As the bus was on high speed, I willed it out of the road and IT WENT AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. ALL THE PASSENGERS DIED EXCEPT THIS YOUNG CONVERT. His escape was miraculous because he came out of the vehicle through the boot of the bus and shouted "I am safe, I am safe." We tried to stop him from testifying but we failed.
THROUGH THE T.V. WE WOULD KNOW A MAN WHO REPENTED NEWLY AND WOULD PURSUE HIM SERIOUSLY TO SEE IF WE COULD MAKE HIM BACKSLIDE. If after six months we did not succeed, we would GO INTO HIS BUSINESS AND MAKE IT GO BANKRUPT; If he/she is a civil servant we WOULD OPPRESS HIM/HER THROUGH THE BOSS and if possible MAKE THE BOSS TERMINATES HIS/HER APPOINTMENT. If after all these he refuses to backslide then we would give him up. BUT IF HE BACKSLIDES HE WOULD BE KILLED TO MAKE SURE HE DOES NOT HAVE A SECOND CHANCE TO REPENT.
I destroyed lives to the extend that Lucifer became very pleased and made me
CHAIRMAN OF THE WIZARDS. A month after my chairmanship, a meeting was called. We
attended that meeting as birdsm cats and snakes. These creatures are used for
the following reasons:
a. Turning to birds make wizards more dangerous
b.
Turning to cats make wizards able to reach both spirits and humans
c. Turning
to rats enable wizards to enter into a house easily, then in the night turn to
shadow and then to human being and suck the victim's blood.
In this meeting we had only one item on the agenda: "THE CHRISTIANS". We then schedules to hold an AFRICAN WIZARD CONFERENCE IN BENIN CITY IN 1983. We published it in all dailies and all the public media. All the forces of darkness were mobilised and we were very confident nothing was going to interrupt this meeting. In fact, everything was well planned and there was no loophole. Suddenly, THE CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA WENT INTO PRAYERS AND PRAISES UNTO THEIR GOD AND ALL OUR PLANS WERE SHATTERED. Not only that our plans were shattered but also THERE WAS A REAL CONFUSION IN THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. As a result, the witches and wizards conference could not hold in Nigeria. CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOTE THAT THE MOMENT THEY GO INTO REAL PRAISES TO GOD ALMIGHTY THERE WOULD BE TROUBLE AND CONFUSION BOTH IN THE SEA, IN THE AIR AND THE AGENTS OF SATAN WOULD HAVE NO RESTING PLACE. PRAYER IS LIKE THROWING A TIME BOMB in our midst and everyone would escape for his life. IF CHRISTIANS WOULD REALISE THE POWER AND AUTHORITY GOD HAS GIVEN THEM THEY WOULD CONTROL THE AFFAIRS OF OUR NATION; AND ONLY CHRISTIANS CAN SAVE OUR NATION.
After the failure of this conference which was LATER HELD IN SOUTH AFRICA, I was called back to the sea. When I arrived, I was told that from that moment I WOULD MAKE THE SEA MY HOME AND ONLY VISIT THE WORLD FOR DIFFERENT FICULT OPERATIONS. I was given a new assignment inventing charms for native doctors, incharge of the control room and sending of gifts - i.e. OPENING OF WHITE GARMENT CHURCHES (PRAYER HOUSES), PROSPERING MATERNITIES, OPENING STORES AND MAKING THEM PROSPER, GIVING 'CHILDREN' AND MONEY. These will be explained one after the other:-
1. OPENING OF WHITE GARMENT CHURCHES
When a man comes to us for an
assistance to build a prayer house and help him perform healings etc. he would
be given some conditions:
a. He will agree to DONATE TO US ONE OR TWO SOULS
EVERY YEAR.
b. At a certain level of office in the church the person would be
INITIATED TO OUR SOCIETY, and
c. NO member would be allowed to come into the
prayer house with SHOES ON.
When he accepts these conditions, he would be given something like a WHITE GARVEL, HUMAN BONES, BLOOD and CHARMS, ALL IN A NATIVE POT. He would be instructed to BURY THIS POT WITH ALL THE CONTENTS IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH AND BURY THE CROSS ON IT'S TOP; AFTER THE BURIAL, ONLY THE CROSS SHOULD BE SEEN. He would be advised to BUILD A POOL OR KEEP A BASIN WHERE SPIRITS WOULD CONTINUE THEIR SUPPLY SPECIAL WATER. THIS WATER IS WHAT YOU HEAR THEM CALL "HOLY WATER".
Many people when disturbed by evil spirits go to these 'prophets' to cast them out. The truth it, THEY ONLY ADD MORE DEMONS TO THEM. A DEVIL CANNOT CAST OUT A DEVIL. What the prophet would do is, he will pray for the member and then give him/her a red cloth to put in his/her house, and then would advice him/her to always pray using candles and insence. By this act the person invites us to his/her house. Sometimes the member would be advised to bring a goat etc. for sacrifice. These sacrifices are for us to come and help cure the man. The prophet has no power to cure or heal.
2. OPENING OF A MATERNITY
If a woman comes to us for assistance in opening
a maternity and make it prosper, she would be given this condition: A MONTH
WOULD BE CHOSEN BY US IN WHICH ALL THE CHILDREN BORN IN THE MATERNITY WOULD DIE
but other months the children would live.
If she accepts, SHE WOULD ALSO BE
GIVEN A CHARM WHICH WOULD ATTRACT PEOPLE INTO THE MATERNITY. There are such
maternitys in Onitsha, Lagos etc. SHOES ARE NOT ALLOWED INTO SUCH
MATERNITIES.
3. FANCY STORE
When a man approaches us for assistance in the respect he
would be given a ring with a condition that no woman should be allowed to touch
it. He also must AGREE TO BE OUR MEMBER, if he accepts to fullfil these
conditions, HIS STORE WOULD BE STOCKED ALWAYS WITH THE BEST AND LATEST MATERIALS
BY US.
4. GIVING OF CHILDREN
If a barren woman goes to some native doctors, after
laying her complaints, she would be asked to bring the following: WHITE COCK,
GOAT, NATIVE CHALK and BABY CARE. She would be advised to go and in her absence
the native doctor will come to us bringing these things. We would then mix
certain things which are difficult to explain in writing, and which must include
HUMAN ASHES. HE WOULD USE THIS CHARM TO COOK FOOD FOR THE WOMAN etc. She would
become pregnant and give birth but IT'S NOT A NORMAL HUMAN BEING. IF THE CHILD
IS A FEMALE SHE WOULD LIVE AND EVEN GET MARRIED BUT WOULD REMAIN BARREN FOR THE
REST ALL HER LIFE. IF THE CHILD IS A MALE HE WILL LIVE AND EVEN BE TRAINED ONLY
TO DIE SUDDENLY. THEY NEVER LIVE TO BURY THEIR PARENTS. I would like to mention
here that MOST BARRENESS ARE CAUSED BY DEMONS. YOU MAY SEE A WOMAN BARREN ON
EARTH BUT WOULD HAVE CHILDREN IN THE SEA. I therefore advise on God's children
to wait on God because only God gives real children.
5. MONEY
If a man comes to us for money, he would be given these
conditions to fulfill. He will be asked to GIVE A PART OF HIS BODY or if he has
a family he would be asked to BRING HIS SON. If single, he would be asked to
bring his ELDER OR YOUNGER BROTHER: whoever he decides to bring must be from the
same womb. Something worth mentioning is: during the killing of the victim, the
person who brought him would be given a spear or arrow; his relations would be
able to file past in a mirror. AS SOON AS THE ONE HE HAD DONATED PASSES, HE
WOULD BE ASKED TO STRIKE AND AS THIS HAPPENS THE VICTIM WOULD DIE WHERE HE IS.
There are other methods but one thing Satan does is that:
He makes sure that
in the different methods, the donor becomes responsible for the death of his
victim by making the donor strike the victim.
REMEMBER, SATAN HAS NO FREE
GIFT!
HOW SATAN FIGHTS CHRISTIANS
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against spiritual wickedness in high places" Eph 6,10-12.
FIGHTING CHRISTIANS
After the command by Lucifer to fight the Christians we then sat and mapped
out ways of fighting them as follows:
a. Causing sickness
b. Causing
barrenness
c. Causing slumber in the church
d. Causing confusion in the
church
e. Causing lukewarmness in the church
f. Making them ignorant of
the word of God
g. Fashion and emulation
h. Fighting them
physsically
Among all the above I would like to explain two:
1. FIGHTING PHYSICALLY
With the T.V. given to me, I would through
it see the born again Christians. (We do not fight hypocrites because they
belong to us already). We would then SEND OUR GIRLS FIRST TO THE BIG CHURCHES.
INSIDE THE CHURCH THEY WOULD BE CHEWING GUM OR MAKE A CHILD CRY OR DO ANYTHING
THAT WOULD DISTRACT THE PEOPLE FROM HEARING THE WORD OF GOD. They may decide to
come spiritually and CAUSE THE PEOPLE TO SLEEP WHILE THE PREACHING IS GOING ON.
The moment they see you having a sober reflection because of the preaching,
they would wait on you outside the church and as soon as you come out, one of
them would GREET YOU AND EVEN PRESENT YOU A GIFT (and it's always what you love)
and would appear very friendly. She would do everything and before you knew what
was happening you had forgotten all that you learnt in the church.
But for a real Christian, one of these girls afte the service would jump out to greet you and would desire to know your house with the pretex that she was new in toen and did not know many Christians around. On taking her home, she would quickly buy bananas and the Christian would take this as a gesture of love. She would continue her visits until SHE FINALLY PUTS OFF THE LIGHT OF CHRIST IN YOU and then stop coming. Major operation in the living churches and fellowships is - DISCOURAGING THE CHRISTIANS FROM READING AND STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD AND THEREBY MAKING THEM IGNORANT OF THEIR AUHORITY AND THE PROMISES OF GOD. In crusade grounds, these GIRLS WOULD BE SENT TO CAUSE DISAGREEMENT AND QUARRELS.
HOW CHRISTIANS ARE KNOWN
The born again Christian is not known by the Bible he/she carries always or the many fellowships he/she attents. THEY ARE KNOWN IN THE SPIRIT WORLD BY THE LIGHT THAT SHINES CONTINUOUSLY LIKE A VERY BRIGHT CANDLE IN THE HEART OR A CIRCLE OF LIGHT AROUND THE HEAD OR A WALL OF FIRE AROUND HIM/HER. When the Christian is walking along, WE SEE ANGELS WALKING ALONG WITH HIM/HER; ONE BY THE RIGHT, ONE BY THE LEFT AND ONE BEHIND. This makesit impossible for us to come near him/her.
The only way we succeed is by making the Christian sin, thereby giving us a loophole to come in. When a Christian is driving a car and we want to harm him/her, we find that he/she is never alone in the car, there is always an angel by him/her. OH IF THE CHRISTIAN ONLY KNOWS ALL THAT GOD HAS FOR HIM, HE WILL NOT MEDDLE WITH SIN OR LIVE CARELESSLY.
THE MAKING OF BACKSLIDDEN CHRISTIANS
As a chairman appointed by Lucifer, I would send these girls to living churches and fellowships. These girls would be well dressed and after the preaching would come out for the altar call, pretend to have received Christ and would be prayed for. At the end of the fellowship or service they would hang around waiting for the preacher who naturally would be very happy for these new 'converts'. The said 'convert' may ever follow the preacher to his house. If the preacher does not have the spirit of discernment she would lure him into the sin of fornication or adultery. This takes place the momeny he admires her lustfully. She would make sure he continued in this sin until she finally quenches the Spirit of God in him and then take leave of him - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
In this juncture, I would like to give a testimony of a minister. In the evil spirit world he is known as a man of God. When he went on his knees there would be confusion among us. We therefore sent these girls to him. But this man would even feed them but would refuse to be enticed. They did all they could but never succeeded. As a result these girls were killed for their failure. I then changed to a woman and went to him and by words and actions tried to entice him but he was adamant. He was too mcuh for me, so I decided to kill him physically. One day, this minister went to Oduekpe road market town; I watched him and as he bent down to price some commodities I willed an oncoming trailer loaded with drums of oil into the market where he was. The trailer struck the NEPA high tension pole and fell right into the market leaving many people dead, but this minister escaped. How he escaped was a miracle. Another day, I saw him travelling to Nkpor town on foot, I again willed an oncoming army lorry loaded with yams to kill him. The lorry went straight into the new cemetery road, killed many people but this minister again escaped. After this second attempt we gave up. He is still alive!
BECAUSE OF A SINGLE CHRISTIAN, THE DEVIL MAY DECIDE TO DESTROY MANY SOULS THINKING HE COULD KILL HIM, BUT HE ALWAYS FAILS. These incidents had happened to many Christians unknown to them but their GOD ALWAYS DELIVERED THEM. The trouble is, THE DEVIL DOES NOT GIVE UP. His thought are always 'I may succeed' but he never does. AS LONG AS THE CHRISTIAN WALKS WITHIN GOD'S LOVE AND REMAINS IN HIM AND DOES NOT GET ENTANGLED WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THIS LIFE, THE DEVIL CAN NEVER SUCCEED, NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES. Only the unbeliever is at his disposal.
OPPRESSION OF THE CHRISTIAN
This mostly happens in dreams. A Christian may see in his dreams the
following:
1. A dead relation visiting him
2. Masquerades pursuing
him
3. Mates swimming in a river
4. Mates bringing food and asking him to
eat
5. A single female having sexual intercourse or even a married one having
sex with a man. This, if not dealt with, sometimes leads to barrenness. Or a
pregnant woman sees herself having sexual intercourse with a man, this if not
immediately dealt with could lead to miscarriage.
If a Christian experiences
the above in his/her dreams, he should not put it aside by the wave of the hand,
but on getting out of sleep he should examine himself and confess any known sin
to God, bind all those demons and ask God to restore whatever had been tampered
with. This is very important. The person should also seek the help and counsel
of a mayure spirit-filled Christian, older in the faith.
THE DEVIL'S SOUL WINNING
When Jesus Christ was leaving this earth, He gave his disciples a command - Go ye into all the world and make disciples of all nations. While some Christians are still waiting for a more 'suitable' and 'convenient' time to obey this command,the devil has also given this command to his agents. The difference is, THE DEVIL'S ARE MORE SERIOUS IN WINNING SOULS THAN THE CHRISTIANS.
ONE OF THE AREAS OF THE DEVIL'S SOUL WINNING IS THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS; ESPECIALLY GIRLS SCHOOLS. Some of our girls are sent into the schools as students. We SUPPLY THEM WITH ALL THE LATEST AND EXPENSIVE UNDERWEARS. This is first priority because in girl's hostels they like using underwears only. OUR AGENT WOULD NEVER LACK ANYTHING - COSMETICS, DRESSES, UNDERWEARS, BOOKS, PROVISIONS OF MONEY, A PARTICULAR BATHING SOAP WOULD BE GIVEN TO HER TO LEND TO ANY STUDENT WHO REQUESTS FOR SOAP FROM HER. A girl desiring to be like her would be attracted and would befriend her. Gradually our agent would introduce us to her. At this point we would visit her physically and would start giving her gifts and meeting her needs, with this she would join us WILLINGLY. She in turn would win another and so on. This is maken as a mission and it is carried out with a determination to succeed.
ONE THING SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR: SATAN DOES NOT FORCE ANYONE, WHAT HE DOES IS TO ATTRACT AND MAKE YOU COME TO HIM WILLINGLY. That is why the Bible says: "Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4,7)
Another area of soul winning for the devil is GIVING LIFTS. We would send our
girls to stand on the road, and usually they are very beautiful and attractively
dressed. You will also find them in HOTELS and through these avenues we get men
and women. MANY PEOPLE WE SEE ADVERTISED IN THE PAPERS AS MISSING GOT LOST
THROUGH GIVING LIFTS TO GIRLS THEY DO NOT KNOW.
You should therefore be
careful who you lift in your car.
MY ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS CHRIST
In the month of February 1985 we had our normal meeting in the sea after which I decided to travel to Port Harcourt in Rivers State to visit my late uncle's wife.
I met a man called Anthony. He has a workshop at NWAJA junction, along Trans-Amadi Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. He sent for me and since in our society we have a law never to refuse calls I decided to answer his call. I went to him in the afternoon on a Thursday of that week. He started by saying God has given him a message for me. He brought out his Bible and started preaching. There were three other Christians seated (a male and two females). He continued his preaching for a long time and I wasn't sure I heard all that he said. He asked me to kneel for prayers. I obeyed and quietly kneeled down. IMMIDIATELY HE STARTED HIS PRAYERS, I WAS KNOCKED DOWN BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND I FELL FLAT. I struggled up and stood like an iron, I destroyed the iron chairs inside the workshop. I looked outside and was three of our secret society members, a man and two girls. THEY CAME IN HUMAN FORM, MOVED TOWARDS THE DOOR BUT BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF GOD THEY COULD NOT ENTER. I am sure the alarm in the sea alerted them of the trouble and with the T.V. they knew where the problem was and had sent the 'powerless' rescue team. This always happens when any member runs into trouble. While the two Christian men pulled me down on my knees the girls continued praying and binding the demons but were not specific. They asked me if I believed in Jesus Christ, I said nothing. They asked me to call the name of Jesus, I refused. They asked me my own name and I told them. They struggled for hours and then released me to go. No spirit was removed from me, so I wenr out the same way as I came in.
THE CHURCH EVENTS
The following day being Friday, I was invited by the same Anthony to attend their night vigil at the Assemblies of God Church, Silver Valley, Port Harcourt. I accepted this invitation because attending church services to cause slumber and confusion was part of our assignments. The program started with choruses. We sang until one of the members raised a popular chorus sung by a particular Christian Band, of the powerlessness of other powers except Jesus' power, then I started laughing. I laughed because when in the spirit I looked into their lives almost three quarter of the people singing this chorus were living in sin. I knew that BECAUSE OF THE SINS IN THEIR LIVES, THEY WERE EXPOSED AND COULD BE HARMED SERIOUSLY BY THESE POWERS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT CHRISTIANS OBEY THE WORD OF GOD AND NOT ALLOW BESETTING SINS TO REMAIN IN THEIR LIVES.
In that service we were four from the sea and were singing and clapping with them. Again, I want to stress here that when a service is started, MEMBERS SHOULD BE ADVISED FIRST TO CONFESS THEIR SINS THEN GO INTO A PERIOD OF REAL PRAISES TO GOD. This will make an agent of satan present very uncomfortable and in fact escape for his/her life. In this particular service we were very comfortable and even went into operation. Many started sleeping, choruses were sung weakly and things went zig zag. Brother Anthony had already told them about me so at about 2 a.m. they called me out to pray for me. As soon as I came out to the front they started pleading the blood of Jesus. I stopped them and said "it is not pleading the blood that is the solution; I am a deep secret society member, if you agree you can deliver me then will I kneel down". These words I spoke were not premediated. THE BLOOD OF JESUS SCARES THE DEMONS AND PROTECTS THE BELIEVER BUT DOES NOT BIND DEMONS, BINDING OF DEMONS ONLY TAKES PLACE WHEN THE CHRISTIAN USES HIS AUTHORITY AND GIVES THE COMMAND.
The agreed and I knelt down. At that point a sister led by the Spirit of God shouted and said "if you are not worthy do not come near". I am sure many did not understand what she meant. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR A CHRISTIAN LIVING IN SIN TO CAST OUT DEMONS. Many withdrew and few came out to pray for me. As they started with "In Jesus' name", I heard a big bang inside me and fell on the floor. Immediately the flying demon in me went into action. I started running with my chest. Anybody possessed with this flying demon is always very wicked and dangerous. The bretheren never saw what was happening spiritually, I was running because of the stronger power in the room. Two opposing forces went into action and the atmosphere changed. I suddenly stood up and became very violent etc. A demon went out of me and possessed a boy in their midst and he started fighting them trying to rescue me. The bretheren never wasted time with him rather they took him and others who were afraid to the church vestry and locked them inside. This continued until 7.00 a.m. I was physically exhausted and became quiet, so the bretheren gathered around me again and started shouting "name them", "who are they" etc. I kept quiet. After waiting for a long time and I said nothing they were deceived to believe that I was delivered. They prayed and we mismissed.
I was so physically weak that I found it difficult to walk out of the church. But something happened, for as soon as I walked out of the church and crossed he road, I became very strong physically. Perhaps some of the demons that left came back. I became very angry and decided to take vengance on the church. "This people had insulted me" I said to myself, and for this insult I was going back to Lagos, get more powers and with others as wicked as myself come back to Port Harcourt to take vengeance on ALL the members of the Assemblies of God, Silver Valley.
ENROUTE TO LAGOS
On getting to my uncle's wife's house, I told them I was leaving for Lagos immediately. I refused to be persuaded to stay and so took taxi to Mile 3 motorpark where I took a taxi for Onitsha. My intention was to stop at Onitsha, see a friend and then proceed to Lagos. At Mile 3 we took off and on getting to Omagwe, at the International Airport junction. I heard a voice calling me by my native name "NKEM". I turned around to see if there was a known face in the taxi but there was none. Who could this be? Only my late mother called me by that name, all others including the spirit world knew me as Emmanuel. While I was still wondering, the voice came again"NKEM, ARE YOU GOING TO BETRAY ME AGAIN?" I did not recognise the voice but the voice continued asking me "ARE YOU GOING TO BETRAY ME AGAIN?" Suddenly I had severe fever. The heat that came out of my body was so high that the other passangers felt it. One of them asked me, "Mr., were you well at all before travelling?" I told them I was well and that I never had even headache before leaving port Harcourt.
At Umuakpa in Owerri, I collapsed inside the taxi. The next I knew was that
two men tall and huge came to take me. One on my left and the other on my right
and never spoke a word to me. They led me through a very rough road with broken
bottles and metals. As we moved along, these bottles and metals gave me cuts and
I started crying but these men still did not say a word. We moved on and came
out to an express road. It was here one of them spoke and said YOU ARE A WANTED
MAN and we continued. We moved on to a very large and long building that looked
like a Conference Hall. As soon as we climbed the pavement a voice from inside
said "TAKE HIM IN". They took me in and disappeared leaving me alone. What I saw
inside this hall is difficult to explain, but I will try to explain the much I
can. The hall was well decorated and so large and long that one finds it
difficult to see the end of it. I walked to the middle and then was able to see
the end. At the end was an altar. I saw a moon and starts surrounding the sun.
Then I saw a throne and seated on it was a very handsome man with a garment
shining like the sun. He said "COME". But because of His brightness I could not
go. Whenever I tried to move a leg I would fall.
I stood up, tried again
and fell. Suddenly a moon came out of the throne where He was seated and moved
on the ceiling right up to where I stood. The two hands came out from the moon,
held my head, shook me and my physical body pulled off, like pulling off a
dress; and the real me stood. The hands folded it as if folding a cloth and
dropped it at the corner. The moon then moved back to the throne and then He
that sat on it said again "COME".
THE SPIRITUAL CLEANSING
I walked to a point and he stepped out of the throne to me, removed my legs one after the other and poured out what was inside them and fixed them back; did the same with my hands and put them back; in fact all the places the queen of the coast kept powers. I wondered in my mind, who can this be and how did he know the spots these things were kept. After this He went back to his throne and asked me to come. As I started walking, cartain objects started falling from my body, scales fell from my eyes etc. but before I got to the altar it stopped.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING" he asked. I answered and said "I am going to Onitsha to
see a friend", He said "YES, BUT I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR MIND". Up
till this moment I did not know who He was, but one thing was certain and that
was, he was more powerful than all the powers I had come across. He beckoned on
a man and asked him to show me what I had conceived in my heart. This man took
me to a room and opened something like a blackboard; infact, if there was a way
of escape I could have escaped, for before me was written all that I had planned
against Christian and my plan against the Assemblies of God, Silver Valley. The
man brought me back to the altar and left. He came out of the throne and took me
by His hands and said he was going to show me certain things. On our way he
said:
"I DO NOT WANT YOU TO PERISH BUT TO SAVE YOU AND THIS IS YOUR LAST
CHANCE. IF YOU DO NOT REPENT AND COME AND SERVE ME YOU WILL DIE. I WILL SHOW YOU
THE ABODE OF THE SAVED AND THE DISOBEDIENT".
When he said this, I knew he was
JESUS CHRIST.
THE DEVINE REVELATION
We entered a room and he opened something like a curtain. I saw the whole
world, the people and all the activities going on. I saw both Christians and
unbelievers all doing one thing or the other. We went into a second room. He
opened a curtain again and what I saw was a sorry sight. People chained! He
called these people "THE HYPOCRITES". These people looked very sorrowful and he
said "THEY WILL REMAIN THIS WAY UNTIL THE JUDGEMENT DAY".
We went into a
third room. He opened a curtain and I saw many people rejoicing and wearing
white garments. This time I asked him "who are these?". He said "THESE ARE THE
REDEEMED AWAITING THEIR REWARDS".
We went into a fourth room and what I saw
was very frightening. Dear reader, it is very difficult to describe. It looked
like a whole city on fire. HELL IS REAL AND TERRIBLE. If you had been made to
believe that Heaven and Hell are here on earth and that man has no hereafter but
total annihilation after death, you better be well advised here and now that
THERE IS A REAL HELL AND THERE IS A REAL HEAVEN.
No wonder when Jesus Christ
was on earth he warned man about hell. I say it again, hell is real. I saw it
and it is a terrible place. I asked Him "what is this?" His answer was "THIS IS
PREPARED FOR SATAN AND HIS ANGELS AND THE DISOBEDIENT". He named them as
recorded in Revelations 21,8 "But the fearful and unbelieving and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremonger and sourcerers and idolators and all
liars sall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death".
We went into the fifth room and when he opened a curtain, what I saw can only be described as GLORIOUS. It was as if we were looking at it from the mountain top. I saw a NEW CITY. The city was so large and beautiful. The streets are made of gold. The buildings could not be compared with anything in this world. He said "THIS IS THE HOPE OF THE SAINTS. WILL YOU BE THERE?" immediately I answered 'yes'. After this we went back to the throne and he said "GO AND TESTIFY WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR YOU".
Again, he took me to another room and when he opened a curtain I saw all that I was going to encounter on my journey to Onitshaand Lagos and how He would finally deliver me. After this He said to me "DO NOT BE AFRAID, GO, I WILL BE WITH YOU". He led me out of the hall and vanished and I woke up on a bed in another man's house. I shouted so the man and his wife ran out from their room. They first peeped and then came in. "Why am I here?" The man then narrated how I collapsed in a taxi and how they carried me to the Catholic Cathedral there in Owerri. How they sent for a doctor who came and after examining me said my pulse were normal and that they should wait and see what would happen. The doctor gave them the assurance that I would revive. He then took me in his car to his house and had been waiting. He also confessed he never knew why he believed the doctor and why he took responsibility of taking me to his house.
They asked me my name and address which I gave them and after that I kept quiet and never told them my experience. I stayed calmly with this kind family for two days and then the man and his wife drove me to the Owerri motorpark where I took a taxi to Onitsha. All that the Lord showed me about my journey happened one after the other. I took another taxi to Lagos and that night the Lord spoke to me and asked me to leave Lagos first thing the following morning. I obeyed and left Lagos for Port Harcourt the following morning.
I often ask myself; why would the Lord save a man like me. A man so wicked and destructive, an agent of satan. I found the answer in these three words - GOD IS LOVE. Indeed, God is love.
TEMPTATION AND VICTORY
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hands" John 10,27-28.
After my convertion to Christ, the first thing that happened was - all the gifts from the sea - the telescope, the T.V., shirts, photographs I snapped inside the sea laboratories and photograph og the queen of the coast which were displayed in my flat, vanished.
On returning to Port Harcourt, I had the urge to testify what the Lord had done for me but was not allowed in the church. My late uncle's wife who also is a Christian, took me to one of the pastors but the question he asked was "did he bring paper?" It waslater I understood that the paper he meant was - 'membership letter'. What has membership letter to do with testifying to the power of Christ and what He has done for me - God, translating me from the powers of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son, in whom I have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of my sins. I was sad, having known that Satan does not allow young converts to go about testifying, especially those 'who previously' were deeply involved in his activities, and would do everything to stop such testimonies. Again I remembered, the Lord early instructed me to "go and testify what I have done for you" and here I was faced with rehection. Perhaps it was not yet time. So I decided to shelve giving my testimony to anyone.
I travelled with three traders from Aba to Togo for a business trip. There I bought goods worth #160,000 (one hundred and sixty thousand naira). Out of this ammount my personal money was #70,000 while the remaining #90,000 was borrowed from traders in Aba. Amongst the things I bought were bundles of laces, assorted drugs (especially antibiotics), injections, thermometers etc. At the Nigerian border, we were held by the customs and later were asked to pay some bribe. We refused and the goods were seized including those belonging to my three colleagues. A few months later, those belonging to my colleagues were released except mine. I went back later and was asked to pay #40,000, but on checking the goods I saw that all the valuable goods - bundles of laces, injections, drugs etc. were already stolen. I assessed the remaining goods and knew that paying 40,000 to the customs would only increase the loss, so I decided to forget the remaining goods.
The traders whose money I borrowed started chasing me. Some called the police, others took the law into their hands and planned to do away with my life. The only solution was to close my bank accounts and use all the money I had to settle the debts. By God's grace, I payed all except #1,000 meant for my landlord in Lagos. I went completely bankrupt and would borrow even 20k for taxi fare.
I went to a few business Christians I knew then, to seek for help to enable me to start afresh. None said yes or no, rather I would be asked to come the following day repeatedly until I would be tired going. I became very frustrated and did not know where to turn to for counselling or finding help. I did not know the Word of God and with all the confusion in my heart, I would read the Bible and not understand.
Still contemplating on what to do I received an urgent call from my village.
I rushed home and found that the little building I was setting up had been
pulled down by my uncle who was also present and threatened to kill me. The old
nature in me was challanged. I remembered when I was with the secret society,
how he dreaded me and would go on his knees before me, but now he knew I was a
changed man (how he knew I did not know as I had not travelled home since my
conversion) and he now threatens me. I called on the Lord and said "so you saved
me to leave me frustrated and to allow my enemies to rejoice over me". I wept
and decided to go back to the society. At least I would be saved from all the
confusion and would also teach my uncle a lesson he would never forget all his
life. Although I took this decision, I had two prominent fears within me.
1.
During my conversion, the Lord clearly told me - THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. My
going back to the society may mean death, not only physical death but also
spiritual death.
2. If I remain in the Lord, my uncle was breathing threats
to kill me.
I was so confused and needed help. I was ignorant of the wordof God and never knew what the Word says in respect of the above. Dear reader, you will realise here that I hadd all these confusions because of lack of follow-up as a young convert. Follow-up for young converts is very important and Christians should take this seriously. If you know you cannot follow-up your converts, please don't go out for witnessing. Jesus Christ emphasised this three times when He asked Peter - "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these - FEED MY LAMBS". Many converts backslide because of lack of proper follow-up. If you love Jesus, take care of His lambs!
THE BATTLE WITH SATAN'S AGENTS
During this period the queen of the coast's agents started pursuing me, I
suffered greatly in their hands. I had nightmares. On the 1st of May 1985, a
month after my conversion, at about 2.00 a.m. others in the house were asleep. I
was awakened by these agents. They commanded me to walk out of the house. I
obeyed, walked out and they followed behind. It was all happening like a dream
but this was in reality. We moved on to the burial ground by St. Paul's Anglican
Church, off Aba Road, Port Harcourt. On reaching there they said "You must come
back. If you refuse we will kill you or make you destitute". After this
instruction they left. I regained my sences and wondered how I came into the
burial ground at that time of the night. I walked back home, my late uncle's
wife asked me where I went. I never answered her, rather I went back to bed and
slept. They decided attacking me in the afternoons. At times, while walking
along the road they would fight me. Others around would see me fighting with the
air or see me running as if being pursued. I alone would be seing them. This
they did for four times and stopped and then their leader, the queen of the
coast, took over.
The first day she came in a car and parked beside our
house. She was well dressed and as usual very beautiful. People around took her
to be my girlfriend. Immediately she came in I knew who she was. She came at
about 12.00 noon when the whole area was less busy. She sat down and among other
things said - "you can go to your church, believe whatever you want to believe,
but if only YOU WILL NOT REVEAL ME, I will give you anything you need in this
life". I had not known the scriptures so I only listened and watched her talk.
She pleaded and tried to persuade me to come back to her. I never said yes or no
to her, she stood up, walked into her car and drove off.
About two times my uncle's wife entertained her without knowing who she was and I never told my uncle's wife who the lady was. During her last visit she changed her approach. This time she gave me a stern warning saying that 'she had tried during these visits to persuade me to come back to her and that I had been very stubborn, and that this was her last visit; if I still refused to come back, she would come to me in August and would either kill me, or disfigure me or make me destitute, with this she left.
I was afraid, so one day I went to the church and called out a brother. I told him my problems and my observations of some members of the church tec. This brother gave me the SCRIPTURE UNION (S.U) office address and told me "THERE YOU WILL FIND HELP". Incidentally that was the last day I saw that brother, I have never seen him anywhere in Port Harcourt up till date. I took the address and the following day, took a taxi to No 108 Bonny Street, where the office is and met the typist who gave me the quarterly programme of activities of the S.U. Rumuomasi Pilgrims Group, being the one nearest to me. Come Sunday and I was there at the fellowship centre - St. Michael's State School, Rumuomasi - at 2.00 p.m. not knowing that the fellowship starts at 3.00 p.m., but met the Prayer band so I joined them.
After the fellowship that day I knew this was the right place for me. God provided me with a Christian lady, whom I took as mother, who took interest in explaining the word of God to me and counselled me as well. The bretheren became very interested in me and cared. I saw real love. The Holy Spirit began giving me understanding in the Word and my faith grew. I started enjoying my Christian life. Isiah 57,17 "No weapon that is formed againts thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their rightousness is of me, said the Lord". This also was fulfilled.
September 1985, I received a message that me name appeared as a distributor with the Silver Brand Cement, Lagos and that I was expected to report at the office on 27/9/85. I left Port Harcourt on 26/9/85 and arrived Lagos in the night. The following morning, 27/9/85, I went into the office only to be told by the pesonnel manager that my allocation had been assigned to someone else; and asked me to repeat the following day 28/9/85 to see the managing director. On my way back to my flat, passing through a path, someone came from behind and gripped me and tried to suffocate me - i.e. held my nose and mouth together. I struggled for life and while people passed by, none came to my rescue, but the Lord intervened. While I still struggled with the hands I heard her shout and pushed me away saying "who is that person behind you". She repeated the second time and disappeared. From the voice I knew it was a woman but I never saw who she was. I was dazed and straggered to my flat. Here again my landlord was very furious and said "why did you run away with my money and my rent?" I pleaded with him and tried to explain that presently I was not working and would pay all his money as soon as I had the money. With the way he consented I thought this matter was settled.
The following day 28/9/85, I went back to the office and met the managing director who apologised for having given my allocation to another. While he was still talking a young man walked in and asked me "are you not Emmanuel?" I said, yes I am. He said, "Yes, we have got you at last. Have you finished running? We have visited Port Harcourt several times and found that you were always with that your spiritual mother. She had been a stumbling block to us and now that you have come to Lagos we have caught you. You can never go back to Port Harcourt. I am the one that took your allocation". I challenged him and told him 'you can't do anything'. The managing director was surprised at what was happening in his office. I excused myself and left for my flat.
Few minutes later I heard a knock on my door and Ninna entered. She asked me
if I was going back to Port Harcourt. I answered yes. She pleaded with me to
come back to them and that the jobs I was particularly trained for were still
lying unexecuted: KOTIPARI (in the Yoruba language)
- trained to be in charge
of the agents of the demonic powers
- trained to be in charge of the 'sea
control room' to monitor the happenings in the world and sending and receiving
signals, mobilising etc.
- trained to be next to the queen of the coast which
involved not only ceremonies, sacrifices, execution of special assignments by
her, but also other things difficult to explain.
- Trained to, with the
assistance of the powers of darkness, establish new secret societies that would
appear harmless so as to attract young people and more church goers.
She said, if I accompanied her, what awaited me was a double promotion and many blessings. She confessed they were responsible for my goods being seized and stolen, also that they instigated my uncle to destroy my building and to threaten my life. That if I refused following her they would do more and make sure I did not prosper. That they had decided to fight my spiritual mother, "if we get her we've got you" she said. At that I started preaching to her. She stood up and said "they are deceiving you" and left. This took place in the evening of 28/9/85.
Not quite fifteen minutes she left I heard another knock. This time they were four men. They beckoned on me so I came out and saw myself going along with them. We walked up to about poles and one of them asked me: "Do you know us?" I sid no. he continued - "We have been hired to kill you by your landlord; while he was still speaking one among them brought out a gun and another brought out a dagger. I was defenceless and knew that they would kill me, but God in His supernatural manner performed a miracle that surprised myself and themselves. The man with the gun fired at me but there was no sound. The man with the dagger used it on my back but it never penetrated rather it sounded like using a rod on someone. They were as frightened as myself. The Spirit of God came on me and I started preaching, three of them ran away, but the fourth man broke down and started weeping and pleaded that I pray for him. I did not even know what to pray at that time but only said, "Lord, please forgive and forget and pardon him, Amen". He gave his life to Christ so I took him to a Pentecostal church nearby and explained what happened to the pastor and handed him over to the pastor and left. As I walked into the house the landlord ran out and on his knees started pleading and said "please forgive me, I thought you decided to run away to Port Harcourt because of my money (#100,000)" I forgave him and we finally agreed that the money be paid instalmentally.
That same night, at about 2.00 a.m. the Lord woke me up. I did not know why I woke up so I walked to the living room and what I saw was a large tortoise facing me: immediately I remembered the Bible study we had in Port Harcourt about the power in the word, I then spoke these words - "tortoise, since I was born, the home of the tortoise is either the bush or the sea, but for coming into my house while windows and doors are locked you have sinned, and for this you must die". As soon as I said this, it vanished. I went back to the room and slept. A second time again I woke up and heard some noise in the living room. I went and there standing before me was a horrible looking vulture. I repeated the same words and as soon as I said "for comitting this sin you must die", it vanished also. During this trip I SAW GOD'S GOODNESS, GREATNESS AND FAITHFULLNESS.
The following morning 29/9/85, I took a luxurious bus to Port Harcourt. Reaching Ore, the bus ran into a tree, it got damaged, but no one was hurt. The driver pulled it out back to the road and as he drove along, the bus started swerving from one side of the road to the other. I remembered Ninna's threats so I stood up in the bus, preached to the passangers and concluded by saying - it is because of me these accidents are happening but from now on, there shall be no more accidents until we get to Port Harcourt in Jesus name" and sat down. Infact, when I sat down I wondered as what I had said. And so it was, the vehicle moved smoothly to Port Harcourt, no more accidents or breakdowns.
The Scripture rightly says: "Behold, they shall gather together, but not by Me: Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake" (Isiah 54,15). They (the queen of the coast and her agents) tried, but because their gathering was not unto the Lord but against His child, they all stumbeled and fell. "When the enemy shall come like a flood, the spirit of God shall lift up a standard against him" (Isiah 59,19).
I give God all the glory for showing Himself strong on my behalf.
ACTIVITIES OF SATAN'S AGENTS
"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" Eph. 6, 11-12.
This book would not be complete if the different methods of operation of these powers are not exposed. Also it is important that the different forms in which they manifest themselves be exposed.
One thing is clear and that is, THE DEVIL WOULD EITHER ENCOURAGE YOU TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS A MYTH OR SIMPLE EVIL THOUGHTS, OR WOULD MAKE YOU SEE MORE OF HIS POWERS AND LESS OF THE POWERS OF GOD. While the Bible says "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" the Bible also says that the weapons of the Christian against the devil and his agents "are not carnal but MIGHTY THROUGH GOD to the PULLING DOWN of strongholds, CASTING DOWN imaginations and EVERY HIGH THING that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY every thought to the OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST" (2. Cor. 10,4-5). Again the scripture clearly declares - "for this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil" (1.John 3,8). And Jesus having spoilt principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM.
"Thou art SNARED with the word of your mouth, tou art TAKEN with the word of
your mouth" (ProVERBS 6,2) SAYS THE Scriptures, therefore the child of God must
be careful to confess the Word of God which God has promised "He will hasten to
perform" There are three confessions stated in the Word of God:
1.
Confession of the Lordship of Christ
2. Confession of faith in the word, in
Christ and in God the Father.
3. Confession of sin
When we hear the word
confession, we easily think of sin. The dictionary definition of confession
is:
1. Affirming something we believe
2. Testifying to something that we
know
3. Witnessing of a truth that we have embraced.
It is therefore to be
regretted that whenever we use the word confession some minds run to sin. The
author is here encouraging the child of God to start today to confess what God
has said.
You who were dead in tresspasses had God quickened together with Christ and He has raised you up together and made you sit in heavenly places (far above all principalities and powers) in Christ Jesus. Christians should therefore realise where they are seated. They should know that they are operated from the height - above Satan and all his agents. The Lord Jesus Christ has given you ALL POWERS AND AUTHORITY just as He has given you ALL THAT PERTAINETH TO LIFE AND GODLINESS (2.Peter 1,3). God never intended that circumstances should control His children, rather that the Word of God in the mouth of the Christian should control his circumstances. God spoke in Jer. 23,29 saying "Is not my word like as fire? And like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" Christians - I mean born-again Christians, should realise that when the name of Jesus is pronounced, what comes out of their mouth is fire. When the Christian stands on the authority given him by Christ and gives a command in Jesus name, fire pours out of his mouth and any demon controlling the circumstance must obey. Jesus is alive today to see to it that every word of His comes to pass.
Again, I want to highlight an important fact many Christians overlook and which satan is using. Jesus, after Peter pointed out to him the dried fig tree cursed by the Lord said:-
(Matthew's Account)
"...Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith and doubt not ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye say unto this mountain, BE THOU REMOVED and BE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA: It shall be done. And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, YE SHALL RECEIVE (Matt. 21,21-22).
(Mark's Account)
"...Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, that whatsoever shall SAY unto this MOUNTAIN BE THOU REMOVED, and BE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA, and shall NOT DOUBT in his heart, but shall believe that THOSE THINGS WHICH HE SAID shall come to pass; he SHALL HAVE whatsoever he SAITH" (Mark 11, 23-25).
Here the Lord points out to us the power of the spoken word and also encourages the Christian to be specific in his prayers and in exercising his authority. Some Christians ask the mountain WHERE to go. Jesus said if you shall say to the mountain be thou removed AND NE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA... Let us take the case of casting out demons for instance. Some Christians bind and cast out demons without sending them to specific destinations. This is dangerous. When you bind a demon IT IS BOUND. If you cast it out without sending it to a specific destination, it remains within the vicinity. If the demon is only rebuked out of a fellow, it will hang around and later come back to enter into anyone around who is not a Christian. Therefore Christians should be careful when dealing with demons - make sure the demon is BOUND, CAST OUT and SENT to a specific destinations.
Some Christians while praying would say "I arrest you demons in Jesus name". In the spirit world you really see the demons standing erect waiting for the next command. But if the Christian stops at that, he has not helpwed the victim. Do not play around with the devil. You don't play around with your ENEMY. God has dent you out on a ministryof deliverance and reconciliation (reconciling men to God) therefore you must be careful to do a thorogh work. I repeat - when you bind a demon, it is bound. When you cast it out to any destination it is so. As long as you do not meddle with sin but live in the will of God whatever command you give the devil or his agents in the name of Jesus Christ MUST be obeyed. God has promised to back every word of His.
As we go into the next phase - manifestation of Satan and his agents, I want
you to have the following passages on your mind:
1. And ye are complete in
Him which is the HEAD of ALL principalities and powers. Col.2,10.
2. Behold,
I give unto you power (authority) to THREAD upon serpents and scorpions and over
ALL the power of the enemy and NOTHING shall by ANY MEANS hurt you. Luke
10,19.
3. Behold, they shall surely gather together but not by me. Whosoever
shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. No weapon that is
formed against thee shall prosper, and everytongue that shall rise against thee
in judgement THOU SHALT CONDEMN. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the
Lord, and their righteousness is of me, said the Lord. Isiah 15,17.
I had
mentioned earlier in this book that these evil forces operate mainly in
churches, market places, grave-yards, jungles, hotels, sea and air.
IN THE CHURCHES
We are witnesses today that there are many possessed persons in the churches,
some speak in tongues and even prophesy. Only those with the Spirit of God can
discern these fellows. But we are here discussing the agents of Satan in the
churches. Again, we are not discussing the secret cult members who are in the
churches (some are even leaders), we know they are there; WHAT I AM TALKING
ABOUT IS THOSE WHO COME IN AS AGENTS OF SATAN TO:
1. Cause quarrels and
confusion in the churches.
2. Scatter the churches
3. Make men and women
sleep while the sermon is on.
4. Cause distraction of various sorts when the
service is on.
5. Win souls for Satan.
Since I had already said a few things on the above in chapter three, I will only give you a testimony of what happened in the recent past. Christians should abide by every Word of the Lord Jesus Christ, because when they disobey or compromise they are prone to fall at the slightest attempt of Satan or his agents.
Christians have been called OUT from darkness into God's own marvelous LIGHT. Christians have been called to TOTAL SEPERATION from the world and what it offers - COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE YE SEPARATE - says the Scriptures.
There was this sister - Sister J (name withheld). She was born again and was
a full member of one of the 'living' churches. She later transferred her
membership to my own denomination. She pertook in all the activities in the
church and was vey active in them. But her character at a point became
suspicious, so a few of us decided to visit her and her house and to find out
what was really wrong with her. While interviewing her, the spirits in her were
provoked and began manifesting and then told us she was their agent in the
church. These demons were cast out of her and deliverance was manifested to her.
"Sister, how come you are an agent yet a full member of the church" we asked.
What she told us was:
It all started one day, after a Sunday service, a
'sister' (female believer in Christ, so she thought) came to her and expressed
her desire to be close to her because according to this 'sister' she admired
Sister J's Christian life. She accepted her friendship without reservation. The
two went to Sister J's house and the so-called 'sister' brought out bananas and
groundnuts which they both ate. She stayed with Sister J for a while and later
left.
Her visits became regular and on each visit she brought gifts to Sister
J. The gifts ranged from dresses, shoes, money etc. On some occasion Sister J's
friend would come with many other girls. This continued for a period and when
the 'sister' saw that she had succeeded in putting out the light of Christ in
Sister J, she changed and started visiting Sister J in the spirit. Sister J was
then given a red cloth, water stone, ring for her right toe, chain for her
ankle, and because she had eaten so much with them and had taken so much from
them, there was no chances of turning back. She entered into covenant with them
and started attending their meetings, she could change to snake, bat etc. She
then became their agent to win souls for them in the church.
Praise God she is now delivered, all the gifts given her were destroyed and she is now happy again in the Lord. Dear reader, it all started with an unusual friendship, and because sister J lacked the spirit of discernment and was not watchful as is commanded by the Lord "watch and pray that ye fall not into temptation" she went astray and fell deep into the hands of race which could have ended in hell because of carelessness.
You can easily identify them with the following:
- They wear RINGS ON ONE
OF THEIR BIG TOES
- CHAIN AROUND THE ANKLE, NOSE-RINGS, UNUSUAL BANGLES
ETC.
- They could enter into a church or fellowship and be VERY ZEALOUS IN
THE ACTIVITIES OF THE GROUP OR CHURCH just for a single Christian they are
after. Some behave abnormally, others are wicked etc.
That is why the child of God should ask God for the spirit of discernment to enable him/her identify them at a glance. The moment you know you have recognised them, they make sure they do not come near you. The reason being that their Master will warn them about you!
IN THE MARKET PLACES
They operate in various forms in the market. THE MARKET IS ONE OF THE MAJOR AREAS OF OPERATIONS, just as the hotel is where they lay in wait for men. In the market, they pick their victims - SOME PREGNANT WOMEN WHOSE MISCARRIAGES THEY CAUSE TO ENABLE THEM GET THE BLOOD FOR THEIR BLOOD BANKS. Some victims they would accompany to their residence in order to visit such at night. This happens to the unbelievers! Certain fanciful products, sold in the market e.g. necklaces, lipsticks, perfumes and food items such as sardines "queen of the coast" etc. have strange origins.
There are certain actions Christians have to watch out for - You might see a lady or perhaps a gentleman who suddenly touches your stomach or any part of your body. Know that this is done with a wicked purpose - either to cause miscarriage, deposit certain things in your body or cause sickness.
The Christians therefore should, or experiencing this, give the word a command in Jesus name, scattering or destroying the plans of the devil etc. And sure enough whatever you scatter or bind here on earth shall be so.
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
It is also very important to note that many people get initiated to Satan's ativities or get possessed through most of these cultural ceremonies and dances. MOST OF OUR CULTURES ARE DEMON ORIENTED. Some through friends, others through reading some pamphlets or novels. Demons hover in the vicinity of every idol. They function through idols in the practice of idolatry (Zech. 10,2). As a definite part of religion, idolatry ascribes devine power to natural agencies and pays devine honour to a created object (Rom.1, 18-22). The Scripture defines idolatry as spiritual adultery (Jer.3, 8-10). Therefore a child of God should have no connection whatsoever, directly or indirectly with idolatry. So called high life, juju and disco music are inspired by Satan and his demons.
I do remember, that before the Lord saved me, in one of the meetings we had with Satan, he said "this world is his and that he is going to rule the whole world in his power and would destroy all who believe in the name of the righteous one (Satan does not mention the name JESUS. If anyone does that in his presence he/she stands at the risk of loosing his life). He promised uplifting those of us, his agents, governors etc. (Satan is a liar and indeed the father of all lies). There were also plans to silence all the Christians in Nigeria by restricting importation of Bibles and Christian literature.
He operates through unbelievers in positions of leadership and authority to initiate anti-Christian policies and programmes. He establishes healing centres which would appear very religious and through them claim souls. These centres usually called SPIRITUAL HEALING HOMES are all around us. Here many lying wonders are performed to deceive their clients.
Satan is very much aware of the SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST and constantly urges his agents to HURRY AND BE ARDENT in their operations. Always saying "we have no time left".
Dear child of God, Satan is not sleeping, why must you sleep?
THE BELIEVERS' WEAPONS
- THE NAME OF JESUS
- THE BLOOD OF JESUS
- THE WORD OF GOD
-
CHRISTIAN PRAISES
"Finally bretheren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put
on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil" Eph.6,10-11.
"And they overcame him by the BLOOD of the LAMB and by
the WORD of their testimony..." Rev. 12,11.
I have already said much on this earlier, but just to give a few instances. Please REALISE that there is POWER in that name JESUS. There id power in the BLOOD of JESUS. The Scripture says "...and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also had highly exalted HIM, and given HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: That is the NAME OF JESUS EVERY knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil.2,8-11). Again the Scripture says "and they overcame him by the BLOOD of the lamb and by the WORD of their testimony." (Rev. 12,11). Let the name, JESUS, always be on your lips. These two, the name and the blood, scatter the plans of Satan, and infact destroys the strategies of Satan and his agents.
Secondly, you must learn to sing praises to GOD ALWAYS. There is POWER IN PRAISES.
There was this pastor - Pastor I.K. (name withheld). He was pastoring a
church in Ebute Metta. He became my target and his offences were:
1. He
disturbs our peace by carrying out early morning call i.e. preaching in the
early hours.
2. He goes about with his megaphones and stations at No. 2
bus-stop along Akintola road, Ebute Metta. There, he would preach. Would not
stop at that bus but would keep binding demons etc.
3. In his church he would
preach, exposing the works of darkness after which he started bindinng
demons.
4. He prayed a lot.
5. He was always singing and praising God.
I sent my messengers to him but they could not kill him so I decided to carry out the mission myself. On the said day, I saw him walking along the new G.R.A. A thing worth mentioning here about this pastor is - anytime we went for him, we would see pillars of cloud by his right hand and left, walking along with him, so these hindered us. But this particular day I saw nothing so I was doubly sure my mission would be very successful.
I commanded rain to fall to enable me strike him with thunder. The rain started and the thundering began. The whole trees in the area started loosing their branches, but this Pastor was singing joyfully. I still remember the chorus - IN JESUS NAME EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW. As he continued with this chorus the rains stopped, the thundering seized and there appeared immediately two angels, one on each side, with flaming swords. Their eyes and their swords were like flames of fire. Then a strong wind carried me away and I found myself in another town. Infact I was baffled, but because we were so hardened, what I said was - This man has escaped again! The pastor did not know the spiritual war that was fought on his behalf...
So you see, the child of God is WELL SECURED. When the Bible says "...and NOTHING shall by ANY MEANS hurt you" it means what it says.
The second testimony is about a Christian who board the same taxi with me. He was very zealous and started distributing gospel tracts inside the taxi. So I became disturbed and knocked him with the ring on my finger - that was to kill him. This boy shouted "THE BLOOD OF JESUS" and immediately lightening and fire and an Angel appeared. A strong wind again removed me with great force out of the taxi and into the thick jungle. Had it not been that I was a man backed by evil powers I could have gotten lost in this jungle. The Christian did not know the war that went on his behalf, all he knew including the other passengers, was that I had disappeared from the taxi.
The name of Jesus or the Blood of Jesus in the mouth of the believer sends out fire etc. the Scripture says "THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER, the righteous runneth into it and is SAFE" (Prov. 18,10)
Dear reader, if you are a child of God, remember that God has magnified His name and word above all (Psa. 138,2), therefore confess the Word (the Word of God) believing that what you said shall come to pass and it SHALL be so. That is GOD'S PROMISE!
Again I would like to mention here that you can only confess what you know. The Scripture enjoins us to delight in the Word of God, meditating on it day and night. For you to rightly devide the word of truth, you must know it. Col. 3,16 says "Let the owrd of Christ DWELL in you richly in all wisdom". Again Psalm 1,1-3 says "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful but his DELIGHT is in the law of his God and in it doeth he MEDITATE DAY and NIGHT, he shall be like a tree planteth by the rivers and waters, which bringeth its ftuits in his season, HIS LEAF SHALL NOT WITHER and whatsoever he doeth shall PROSPER". Get close to your Bible; pray without ceasing, have a singing heart and stand, exercise the authority given to you by the Lord Jesus Christ.
NOW WHAT NEXT?
"The Spirit and the bride say, 'COME'. Let each one who hears them say the same 'COME', Let the thirsty one COME - anyone who wants to; Let him come and drink the water of Life without charge" (Rev. 22,17).
Having read through this testimony, you need no further preaching to give your life to Jesus Christ. The Scripture says "the thief (Satan) cometh not but for to steal, tp kill and to destroy. I (Jesus Christ) have come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly" (John 10,10). Satan hates you and has deviced various means of taking you to hell with him - that, you can testify from this testimony. If Satan makes a promise to you or even gives you a gift, know that it is all ill-intentioned. Satan is a liar and the father of lies. God called him YOUR ENEMY, why not believe God and his word.
It is not by accident that you came across this testimony. Examineyourself
and make sure you are in Christ. You will only succeed in deceiving yourself if
you choose to remain a CHURCH GOER and worst still if you decide to put up a
non-challant attitude to this MOST IMPORTANT DECISION of your life. I plead with
you, if you are not SURE of your stand in Christ; if you are not SURE of heaven
if death calls on you now, then please pray this simple prayer with a sincere
heart.
"Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and cannot save myself by good
works. I know that I deserve to go to hell, but I am sorry for my sins and ask
you to forgive me. I now by faith receive you into my life as my Saviour, Lord
and my only hope of salvation. Come into my heart now and save me according to
your promise. Write my name in the Book of Life. I ask all these in your
precious name". Amen.
