Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it; (Proverbs 22: 6).
This is a story of God’s works
- mighty, wonderful and mysterious - in 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 planned1 (Proverbs 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 environment 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. You can wish to understand or misunderstand.
The will to obey is the greatest force of a new born Christian,
while the will to disobey is the most destroying force of the
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 what 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. A mother is a protector of body and soul but it
becomes double tragedy when both parents are lost and more so
in most mysterious circumstances.
My story started 22 years ago in a little village called Amerie Iriegbu Ozu
Item in Bende Local Government Authority,
Imo State. My parents were not classified amongst the rich but
my dad was privileged to inherit 42 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 vast 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 14 years before having
me (the only son) and later my younger sister Chinyere. This
brought real happiness to the family but this happiness was
short-lived as the first tragedy struck. My lovely and caring
mother died. She was alleged to have died owing to witchcraft,
and four years later my father died, again through an alleged
work of juju involved 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 grand parents. There I completed my elementary education
and was later admitted into Item High School. I read up to Class
III and dropped out of school as a result of lack of fund for
fees etc. Shortly after that, my grand parents also died. After
all the ceremonies that go with burials, an 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 afraid 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 named Chinedum Onwukwe. Chinedum
loved me very much and having heard all that befell took me
to his parents who readily received me and took me 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 traveling 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 firewood and
running errands: at the end of which I went back to my father’s
house and resumed the menial jobs to be able to feed.
I continued doing odd jobs on the farm, in gardens, going
a 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 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 of 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 hatred in my young 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
important 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 our worries and cares,
for He is always thinking about you and watching everything
that concerns you” (1 Peter 5: 7 NLT).
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 this childhood’s ‘love’
affair, we promised ‘getting married’ when we would be old.
Ridiculous! A child of 11 years then, without parents,
no education, no food to eat, promising marriage to a girl of
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 told me to join her at Lagos and handed
me her house address with N50 (Naïra: National Currency of Nigeria)!
That was a fortune for a young boy of 15 years who had never
earned up to N2 a day! This was manna from heaven and this meant
that Lagos must be a wonderful place with plenty of money and
the 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 way 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!!!
Chapter 2: The Initiation
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot
rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
There is no peace, saith my God to the wicked. Isaiah 57: 20-21
And life outside Jesus Christ
is exactly as stated in the above Scriptures. I left my village
armed with N50 and the address given to me by Alice, escaping
to freedom, liberty, enjoyment and all that go with them:
but as you will see 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, whatever 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 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 background as we came from the same
village but never knew of my relationship with their daughter.
Alice then introduced me to them as a man she has ‘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 they agreed and I moved
in with Alice.
Alice, a very beautiful girl,
told me that she was an accountant with the Standard Bank and
that she would make me rich and give me all that I needed in
this life and said: “Just settle down and enjoy yourself!” My
first impression about Lagos was true after all; few months
ago I was in a small hut in a small village surrounded by hatred,
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 that the world was
filled with these ‘good things’. The devil indeed is a deceiver!
The Scripture rightly says: “The thief
cometh not but for 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 period 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 nights I would hear strange
noises or dancing 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 sufferings 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.
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 young, was
involved seriously in occultism and spiritualism and she seriously
warned me never 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 Horrific Discovery
One day, after she had left
for work, I decided to search the flat. As young as she was,
the flat was well furnished. She had four refrigerators and
on opening one, I saw human skulls, different parts of 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 calabash and a red cloth by it.
I could not continue. Now I knew that I
was a dead man and since I had no where 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 outskirts 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 these young people were students, undergraduates, graduates,
teachers etc. Alice pressed a button on the wall and a seat
came 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.
That same night, at 2.00 a.m.
(and this is the usual hour of meetings and dangerous operations
by all the forces of darkness and their agents), Alice woke
me up and revealed certain 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 world mysteries for me to read, and with my
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 to be
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 a full member. 2. A glass shot
of oil-like liquid was given to us to drink. This qualifies
you to be an agent. 3. A gunpowder-like substance
was rubbed on our 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 a 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 one morning, she told
me there was an important ceremony to be performed in the house.
At 2.00 a.m. she brought a crawling child, a girl, alive. Before
my eyes, Alice used her fingers and plucked out the child 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 writing.
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
that the day I break this covenant I will be killed.
After this incident 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 house helps? 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 house helps.
When Alice saw that she had
succeeded in getting me fully involved in SPIRITISM and was
fast growing in it, she was satisfied an knew her mission was
accomplished. She found a flat for me, helped 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 to have sexual intercourse with
spirits in the cemetery at night.”
After fulfilling the above
I was bound never to have any sexual intercourse with any women
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 started 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 sitting in the parlor. I was afraid. He said:
“Are you not Emmanuel Amos?” 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 sat beside him on the cushion ready for
the next order. But like lightning, 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 waiting to welcome us. They brought 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 were 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
candles 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
metres 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 seven 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 was a cave, and this cave is only opened
by these demonic birds. They opened the cave and I 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 there could 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 Assina, which means giving life
or curing. Later I was given more books. I was instructed to
build a chamber as soon as I return 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, wild animal
skins, boa skin and a big shiny
laterites beside the pot.” The blood
inside the water pot is to be taken every morning with an incantation.
I was also instructed never to eat any food cooked by HUMANS
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 travel 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 powers,
so I decided to try. I came out of my house, made some incantations
and called the whirl 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 no longer could control myself. Despite all these powers I
had already received, I still needed more and more powers! I
then decided to go into 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 total darkness that can only be
compared with one of the plagues that occurred in Egypt as recorded
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 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 that is accepted without questioning in
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 Christ Jesus are safe in real sense of safety.
Covenant with 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 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 then could she 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, the mysterious lady! I welcomed
her in my mind. (I wondered who this beautiful lady was, and
did she know she was treading on dangerous grounds?) I entertained
her and she left. After this first visit, her visits became
regular without any relationships.
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.
All 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
bus and she told the driver to stop 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 sea bed 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,
I saw young beautiful girls and handsome young men. No old people.
She introduced me to them and I was welcomed. She took me to
places like “darkroom”, “drying room”, and “packing room”. She
then took me to a main factory and warehouse and then came to
her private mansion. There she sat me 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
together. She commanded a boa to appear and asked me to swallow
it. I could not. She insisted but I could not, how could I swallow
a live boa. She then used her powers and I swallowed it. These
were 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 me if I went astray and also to bring me
food from the sea any time I was here on earth. I promised to
obey her always. After this promise she took me to another part
of the ocean, this time an island. There were trees and each
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 hippopotamus, boa constrictor and crocodile and then she
vanished. I stayed in the sea for a week and through one of
the means (as crocodile) mentioned above 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 designing
room and there I saw many samples of cloth, perfumes and assorted
types of cosmetic. All these things according to Lucifer are
to distract 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 see and differentiate those
who are church goers and 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 ground to powder and then send the dust
to the ‘sack room’ where they will be bagged and kept for the
native doctors to collect for their charms. There were 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 powers any where I
mused within my mind.
Chapter 3: The Wicked Reign
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantlyJohn 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 hadn’t 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
assignment but she was wrathful 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 normally sent lightning to
investigate the killer. Unfortunately for these men, I met the
native doctor in spirit where he was consulting with spirits
and warned him not to say anything if he loved his life. He
came out and told the elders to go home and beg one of their
sons whom they had offended and never mentioned my name.
The lightning 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 named NINA came to me. NINA whose parents were
from Anambra State was a very beautiful young girl but lives
mostly in the sea, i.e. the underwater spirit world. She was
an ardent agent of the Queen of the Coast and very wicked. She
hated the Christians to the core and would go all length to
fight Christianity. I first met her during my visit to the sea.
NINA came for an errand from the Queen of the Coast.
We left immediately and reaching
there I learnt of our having a conference with Lucifer. satan,
in this meeting, gave us the following instructions: To fight
the believers and not the unbelievers, because the unbelievers
were already his. When he said this, one of us asked: “Why?”
He said 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 Christian 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 said to him: “We heard that
God 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 Christians”, 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 he would make us rulers. He continued that
since man likes flashy and fanciful things, he would continue
to manufacture these things and make sure that 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. She inserted human ashes with other
things inside the bones of my two legs, a stone (not
an 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 to become more dangerous and also to enable
me change to a woman, beast, bird, cat, etc. She took
me to one of the laboratories and gave me a telescope, a T.V.
and a video. These were not ordinary things but were to be used
in detecting the born again Christians and the church goers
inside the Church.
Finally she gave me sixteen
girls to work as my agents. NINA was one of them. I came
back to Lagos armed with the above mentioned ‘gifts’.
Transformed into satan’s agent
I had
no human feelings nor mercy in my
heart any longer. I went into operation
immediately and destroyed five duplex at a go. They all
sunk inside the ground with their inhabitants. This happened
at Lagos in August 1982. The contractor was held responsible
for not laying a good foundation and paid dearly for it.
A lot of destruction 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 an accident 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 wheeled it out of the road and it went and crashed onto
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 do 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 terminate 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 extent
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 birds, cats and snakes.
These creatures are used for the following reasons:
1. Turning
to birds make wizards more dangerous. 2.
Turning to cats make wizards able
to reach both spirits and humans. 3. 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 scheduled
to hold an African wizard conference in Benin
city in 1983. We published it
in all the dailies and all the public media. All the forces
of darkness were mobilized and we were very confident that 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 real confusion in the kingdom
of darkness. As a result, the witches' and wizards' conference
could not be held 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 and 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/her life.
If Christians would realize
and use the power and authority God has given them, they would
control the affairs of their nation! 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 from that
moment I would make the sea my home and only visit the world
for difficult operations. I was given a new assignment:
inventing charms for native doctors, in charge of the control
room and sending the gifts, i.e. opening of white garment
churches (prayer houses), opening of 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 performing 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.
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 gravel, human bones,
blood and charms, all in a native pot. He would be instructed
to bury this pot with all its content in front of the church
and bury the cross on its 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 to 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 is, they only add more demons
to them. A devil cannot cast out devil. (Luke 11:17-19)
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 advise him/her to always pray with candles and incenses.
By this act the person invites us into 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 Maternities: If a woman comes to us for assistance in opening a maternity
and making 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 the 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 maternities in Onitsha, Lagos, etc. shoes
are not allowed into such maternities.
3. Opening of Fancy Stores:
When a man approaches us for assistance in this 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 fulfill 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:
a white cock, a 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 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 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 barrenness is mostly caused by demons. You may see a
woman barren here on earth, but she would have children in the
sea. I therefore advise God's children to wait on God alone
because only God gives real children.
5. Giving of 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 an arrow. His relations would be made to
file past in a mirror. As soon as the
one he had donates 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 the
victim, by making the donor strike the victim.
remember,
satan has no free gift!
Chapter 4: How satan Fights Christians
For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.Ephesians 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:
1. Causing sicknesses. 2. Causing barrenness. 3. Causing
slumber in the church. 4. Causing
confusion in the church. 5. Causing
lukewarmness in the church. 6. Making them ignorant
of the Word of God. 7. By fashion
and emulation. 8. Fighting them physically.
Amongst the above I would like to explain two:
1. Fighting physically:
With the T.V. given to me, I would 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 have 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 you learned in
the church. But for a real Christian, one of these girls, after
the service, would jump out to greet you and would desire to
know your house with the pretext that she was new in town 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
stops coming. Major operations in the living churches and fellowships
are: discouraging the Christians from reading and studying
the Word of God, and thereby making them ignorant of their authority
and of the promises of God. In crusade grounds these
girls would be sent to cause disagreements and quarrels.
How Christians are
Known?
The born again Christians are not known by the Bible they carry
always or the many fellowships they attend. 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 them. When a Christian
is walking along, we see angels walking along with him/her,
one by the right, one by the left, and one behind. This
makes it 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!
2. 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 converts may even 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 moment 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 leave him, mission
accomplished.
At 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. 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 an actions tried to entice him,
but he was adamant. This was too much 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 wheeled 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 traveling to Nkpor town
on foot. I again wheeled 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 thoughts are always:
“I may succeed.” But he never does. As long as the Christian
walks with 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.
The Oppression of the Christian
This mostly happens in dreams. A
Christian may see in his/her dreams the following:
1. A dead relation visiting him/her. 2. Masquerades pursuing
him/her. 3. Mates swimming in the river. 4. Mates bringing
food and asking him/her 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 a
miscarriage.
If a Christian experiences
the above in his/ her dreams, he/she should not put it aside
by the wave of the hand, but on getting out of sleep he/she
should examine himself/herself and confess any known sin unto
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 mature 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
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 agents are more serious in winning souls than
the Christians!
One of the areas of the
devil's soul winning is the secondary schools, especially girl’s
schools. Some of our girls are sent
into the schools as students. We supply them with all the
latest and expensive underwear. This is first priority,
because in girls' hostels, they like using underwear only.
Our agent would never lack anything, cosmetics, dresses,
underwear, books, provisions and 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 taken 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 did not know.
You should therefore be careful who you lift in your car.
Chapter 5: 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 he said. He asked
me to kneel down for prayers. I obeyed and quietly knelt down.
Immediately 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 saw three of our secret society members,
a man and two girls. They came in human
form and 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 they 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 released me to go. No spirit was removed from me,
so I went out the same way as when 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 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 quarters 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 2.00 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 that you can deliver me, then will
I kneel down.” These words I spoke
were not premeditated. 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.
They agreed and I knelt down.
At that point a sister led by the Sprit 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 a 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 brethren 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 brethren never wasted time with him rather they took
him and others who were afraid to the church vestry and locked
them inside. This continued till 7.00 a.m. I was physically
exhausted and became quiet, so the brethren 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
dismissed. 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 the road, I became
very strong physically. Perhaps some of the demons that left
came back. I became very angry and decided to take vengeance
on the church. “This people had insulted me” I said to myself,
and for this insult I was going back to Lagos and get more powers
with others as wicked as myself, and then come back to Port
Harcourt to take vengeance on ALL the members of the Assembly
of God, Silver Valley.
En Route to Lagos
On getting to my uncle's wife
house, I told them I was leaving for Lagos immediately. I refused
to be persuaded to stay and I took a taxi to Mile 3
motor park 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 calls 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 recognize 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 passengers felt it. One of them asked me: “Mr.,
were you well at-all before traveling?” I told them I was well
and that I never had even a 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 they never spoke a word to me. They led me through a very
rough road with bottles and metals. As we moved along, these
bottles and metals gave 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 as much as
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 stars 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 sitting
and moved on the ceiling right up where I stood. Then two hands
came out of 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 another
and poured out what was inside them and fixed them back. He
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, certain 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. In fact, if there was a way to escape I could
have escaped, for before me was written all that I had planned
against Christians and my plan against the Assemblies of God
church, 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 then knew He was Jesus Christ.
The Divine Revelations
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 judgment 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 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 it is?” His answer was:
“This is prepared for
satan and his angels and for the
disobedient.” He named them as recorded in Revelations 21:8: “But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers and sorcerers, and idolaters
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death.”
We went into a 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 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 Onitsha and 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?”
I asked. 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 was normal and that they should wait and see what
would happen. The Doctor gave them the assurance that I would
revive. The man 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
motor park, 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 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! (1 John 4:8, 4:16)
Chapter 6: 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
handJohn 10: 27-28
After my conversion 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 the photograph of 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 is
also a Christian, took me to one of the pastors, but the question
he asked was: “Did he bring the paper?” It was later that I
understood that the paper he meant was a 'membership letter.'
What has membership letter to do with my testifying the power
of Christ and what He has done for me- God, translating me from
the power 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 clearly instructed me to “go
and testify what I have done for you” and here I
was faced with rejection. Perhaps it was not yet time. So I
decided to shelve giving my testimony to anyone. I traveled
with three traders from Aba to Togo for a business trip. There
I bought goods worth N160,000 (One
Hundred and Sixty Thousand Naïra). Out of this amount my personal
money was N70,000 while the remaining
N90,000 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 colleagues. A few months later, those belonging to my
colleagues were released, except mine. I went back later and
was asked to pay N40,000, but on
checking the goods I discovered that all the valuable goods,
bundles of laces, injections, drugs, etc., were already stolen.
I assessed the remaining goods and knew that paying N40,000
to the Customs would only increase the loss, so I decided to
forego the remaining goods.
The traders whose money I
borrowed started chasing me. Some called the
police, others took the laws 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 all the debts. By God's grace, I paid all except N1,000
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 start afresh. None
said yes or no, rather I would be asked to come the following
day repeatedly until I would be tired or find help. I did not
know the Word of God and with all the confusion in my heart,
I would read the Bible and would 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 challenged.
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 traveled
home since my conversion) and he now threatened 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 the 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 might
mean death, not only physical but also spiritual death. 2.
If I remained in the Lord, my uncle was breathing threats to
kill me.
I was so confused and I needed
help. I was ignorant of the Word of God and never knew what
the Word says in respect of the above. Dear reader, you will
realize here that I had 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 do not
go out for witnessing. Jesus Christ emphasized 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 a destitute.” After this instruction they left. I regained
my senses and wondered how I came into the burial ground. 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 seeing
them. This they did for four times and stopped. 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 usually 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
walk. 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 refuse 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 on some members of the church, etc. This
brother gave me the SCRIPTURE UNION'S (S.U.) office address
and told me: “There you will find help.” Incidentally
that was the last day I saw this “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
program of activities of the S.U. Rumuomasi Pilgrims Group,
being the one nearest to me. She said: “Come on Sunday!” 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 I 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 a mother, who took interest
in explaining the Word of God to me and counseled me as well.
The brethren became very interested in me and cared. I saw real
love. The Holy Spirit began giving me understanding of the Word
and my faith grew. But the Queen of the Coast did not show up
as she threatened. Psalm 91, God's protection, was fulfilled
in my life. Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon
that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue
that shall rise against thee in judgment thou
shalt condemn. This is the heritage
of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me,
said the Lord.” This also was fulfilled.
September 1985, I received
a message that my 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
in Lagos in the night. The following morning 27/9/85, I went
into the office only to be told by the Personnel Manager that
my allocation had been assigned to someone else. He 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 a second time and disappeared. From the voice I knew
it was a woman but never saw who she was. I was dazed and staggered
to my flat.
Here again my landlord was
very furious and said: “Why did you run away with the money
of my rent?” I pleaded with him and tried to explain that presently
I was not working and would pay all his money as soon I had
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 apologized 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 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 the flat.
Few minutes later I heard
a knock on my door and NINA 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 unaccomplished: KOTIPARI (in the Yoruba
language). I had been trained:
- to
be in charge of the agents of demonic powers. - to be in
charge of the “sea control room,” to monitor the happenings
in the world, to send and receive signals, and to mobilize forces,
etc. - to be next to the Queen of the Coast. This involved
not only ceremonies, sacrifices, execution of special assignments
by her, but also other things difficult to explain. -
with the assistance of the powers
of darkness, to establish new secret societies that would appear
harmless so to attract young people and more church goers.
She said, if I accompanied
her, what awaited me was 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 refuse following her, they would do more and make sure
that 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 to come out and I saw myself going along
with them. We walked up to about 2 poles and one of them asked
me: “Do you know us?” I said no. He continued: “We have been
hired by your landlord to kill you.” While
he was still speaking one among them brought out a gun and another
brought out a dagger. I was defenseless and knew that
they would kill me, but God in His supernatural manner performed
a miracle that surprised both 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 I was. 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
should pray for him. I did not even know what to pray at that
time but only said: “Lord, please forgive, forget and pardon
him. Amen!” He gave his life to Christ so I took him to a Pentecostal
church and explained what happened to the Pastor. I 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 (N1,000).”
I forgave him and we finally agreed that the money be paid by
installments.
That same night, 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 committing this sin you must
die,” it vanished also. During this Lagos trip I saw God's
goodness, greatness and faithfulness.
The following morning 29/9/85,
I took a luxurious bus to Port Harcourt. Reaching Ore, the bus
ran onto 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 another. I remembered
NINA's threats, so I stood up in
the bus, preached to the passengers and concluded by saying:
“It is because of me that these accidents are happening. But
from now on, there shall be no more accidents until we get to
Port Harcourt, in Jesus' name!” And I sat down. In fact, when
I sat down, I wondered at 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 surely gather together, but not by
Me: whosoever shall gather together
against thee shall fall for thy sake” (Isaiah 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 stumbled and fell. “When the
enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of God shall lift
up a standard against him” (Isaiah 59: 19). I give God
all the glory for showing Himself strong on my behalf.
Chapter 7: Activities of satan's Agents
Put on the whole
armor of God, that ye may 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 placesEphesians 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 Christians 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
exalteth itself against the knowledge
of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the
obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10: 4-5).
Again the Scriptures clearly declare:
“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 words of thy
mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth”
(Proverbs 6: 2) say 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 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 trespasses
had God quickened together with Christ and He has raised you
up together and made you sit in heavenly places (far above principalities
and powers) in Christ Jesus. Christians should therefore realize
where they are seated. They should know that they are operating
from that height, above satan and 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 Jeremiah 23: 29 saying: “Is not my word like as
a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh
the rock in pieces?” Christians, I mean born again
Christians, should realize that when the name of Jesus is pronounced,
what comes out of their mouth is fire. When a 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 circumstances 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 shall 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(Matthew 21: 21-22).
(Mark's account)
“Have faith in God. For verily I say unto
you, that whosoever 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: 22-23).
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 to move but do not tell the
mountain WHERE to go. Jesus said if you shall say to the mountain:
“Be thou removed and be 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 man, he may later come back or
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 destination,
(and forbid to enter again).
Some Christians while praying
would say: “I arrest you demons in Jesus' name.” In the spirit
world you really see demons standing erect waiting for the next
command. But if the Christian stops at that point, he has not
helped the victim. Do not play around with the devil. You don't
play around with your enemy. God has sent you out on
a ministry of deliverance and reconciliation (reconciling men
to God). Therefore you must be careful to do a thorough 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 must be
obeyed. God has promised to back every word of His. As we go
on to the next phase, manifestation of satan and his agents,
I want you to have the following passages on your mind:
1.
“Ye are complete in Him which is the
head of ALL principality and power” (Col 2: 10). 2.
“Behold, I give you power (authority)
to tread on 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 every tongue that shall rise against thee
in judgment thou shalt condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and
their righteousness is of me.”
I want to show you in this
book that these evil forces operate mainly in churches, market
places, graveyards, 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:
1. To cause quarrels and confusion
in the churches. 2. To scatter the churches. 3. To make
men and women sleep while the sermon is on. 4. To cause distraction
of various sorts when the service is on. 5. To 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 separation
from the world and what it offers. “Come out from among
them and be ye separate,” (2 Cor. 6:17) says the Scripture.
There was this sister, sister
J (name withheld). She was born again and was full member of
one of the 'living' churches. She later transferred her membership
to my own denomination. She partook in all the activities in
the church and was very active in them. But her character at
a point became suspicious. So a few of us decided to visit her
at 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
ministered to her. “Sister, how come you are an agent of satan,
yet a full member of the church?” we asked. What she told us
was the following: 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 admires sister J's Christian
life. She accepted her friendship without reservations. The
two went to sister J's house and the so-called 'sister' brought
out bananas and ground nuts, 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 occasions 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, a water stone, a ring for her right toe, and a
chain for her ankle. Because she had eaten so much with them
and had taken so much from them, there was no chance of turning
back. She entered into covenant with them and started attending
their meetings. She could change into 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,” (Mark 14:38) she went astray and fell deep into the hands of the enemy
and her race could have ended in hell because of carelessness.
You can easily identify satan's agents 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 they know you have recognized
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 their 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 in the nights. 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. It causes sickness. The Christian therefore should,
on experiencing this, give the word of 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.
(Matt 16:19, Matt 18:18)
Cultural activities
It is also very important
to note that many people get initiated into satan's activities
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 divine power to natural agencies and pays
divine honor to a created object (Romans 1: 18-22). The Scripture
defines idolatry as spiritual adultery (Jerimiah 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 mine and I am going to rule the whole
world in my power, and would destroy all who believe in the
name of the Righteous One.” satan does not mention the name
of Jesus. If anyone does that in his presence he/ she
stands the risk of losing his life.
He promised making those of us his agents, governors, etc. satan
is a liar and indeed the father of lies. (John 8:44) There were
also plans to silence 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 programs. He establishes healing centers
which would appear very religious and through them claim souls.
These centers 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?
Chapter 8: The Believer's Weapons
- THE NAME OF JESUS
- THE BLOOD OF JESUS - THE WORD OF GOD - CHRISTIAN PRAISES
Finally brethren, be
strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on
the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6: 10-11
And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony... Revelations 12: 11
I have already said much on
this earlier, but just to give a few instances. Please realize
that there is POWER in that name of Jesus! There is
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 at 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” (Philippians 2: 8-11).
Again the Scripture says: “And they
overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the
Word of their testimony” (Revelations 12: 11).
Let the name “Jesus” always be
on your lips! These two, the name and the blood, scatter the
plans of satan, and in fact destroy 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 disturbed our peace
by carrying out early morning calls i.e. preaching in the early
hours. 2. He went about with his megaphone and stationed
himself at # 2 Bus-stop along Akintola Road, Ebute
Metta. There he would preach. He
would not stop at that but would keep binding demons, etc.
3. In his church he would preach, exposing the works of darkness,
after which he started binding 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: any time
we went for him, we would see pillars of cloud by his right
and left hands, 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 to strike him with thunder. The rain started and
the thundering began. All the trees in the area started losing
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 rain stopped, the thundering ceased. There appeared
immediately two angels, one of each side, with flaming swords.
Their eyes and the swords were like flames of fire. Then a strong
wind carried me away and I found myself in another town! In
fact 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 can
see, the child of God is well secured. When the Bible
says: “Nothing shall by any
means hurt you,” it means what it says!
The second testimony is about
a Christian who boarded the same taxi with me. He was very zealous
and started distributing Gospel tracts inside taxi. When he
gave me the tract I rejected it. He started preaching. 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!”
Immediately lightning 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 got lost in the 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”
(Proverbs 18: 10).
Dear reader, if you are a
child of God, remember that God has magnified His word above
all His name (Psalms 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. (Psalms 1:2) For you to rightly divide the Word of
Truth, you must know it. Colossians 3: 16 says: “Let the
word 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 the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and
night. And he also shall be like a tree planted by rivers
of water, that bringeth forth its
fruit in his season; his leaf shall not wither; and whatsoever
he doth 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!
Chapter 9: Now What Next?
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!"
Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. Revelations 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, to 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 devised
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 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. Examine yourself and make sure
you are in Christ. You will only succeed in deceiving yourself
if you choose to remain a 'church goer'
and worst of all, if you still decide to put up an nonchalant
attitude to this most important decision of your life.
We implore you on Christ's
behalf: Be reconciled to God. If you are not yet saved,
that means if according to the Word of God you have not accepted
the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Savior yet,
following by water baptism by immersion, we encourage you to
do so without delay.
