by Emmanuel ENI
"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 Peter5: 7 -
Living New Testament).
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!!!
« 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 abundantly3” (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 The
Queen of The Coast
One evening, I decided to have a
walk. Along Ebute Metta bus-stop, I saw a young beautiful lady standing. I
never spoke a word to her. The next day while passing also I saw her still at
the same spot. The third day I saw her still at the same spot and while passing
she called me. I stopped and introduced myself to her as Emmanuel Amos but she
refused introducing herself.
I asked her 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.
«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
abundantly»
John 10:10
On returning to Lagos, I continued
in my business and after two weeks I went back to the sea. The Queen of the
Coast gave me what she called her “first assignment”. I should go to my village
and kill my uncle, a prominent powerful native doctor who was responsible,
according to her, for the death of my parents.
I obeyed and went but having not
killed before, I 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. 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!
«For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against spiritual wickedness in high places.»
Eph. 6: 10-12
Fighting
Christians
After the command by Lucifer to
fight the Christians, we then sat and mapped out ways of fighting them as
follows:
1. Causing sicknesses.
2. Causing barrenness.
3. Casing 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.
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 Rev. 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!
«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 hand» John 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.
«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 places»
Eph. 6: 11-12
This book would not be complete
if the different methods of operation of these powers are not exposed. Also it
is important that the different forms in which they manifest themselves be
exposed.
One thing is clear and that is, the
devil would either encourage you to believe that he is a myth or simple evil
thoughts, or would make you see more of his powers and less of the powers of
God. While the Bible says: “We wrestle not against flesh and blood but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places,” the Bible also
says that the weapons of the 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 Jer. 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
(Matt. 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: 22-25).
Here the Lord points out to us
the power of the spoken word and also encourages the Christian to be specific
in his prayers and in exercising his authority. Some Christians ask the
mountain 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.
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.”
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,” 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,” 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.
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 (Zachariah 10: 2). As a definite part of religion,
idolatry ascribes divine power to natural agencies and pays divine honor to a
created object (Rom. 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. 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?
- 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 » Eph. 6: 10-11
« And they overcame him by the blood of
the lamb and by the word of their testimony... »
Rev. 12: 11
I have already said much on this
earlier, but just to give a few instances. Please 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” (Phil. 2: 8-11). Again the Scripture says: “And they
overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the Word of
their testimony” (Rev. 12: 11). Let the name “Jesus” always be on
your lips! These two, the name and the blood, scatter the plans of Satan, and
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 N.° 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 (Psa. 138:
2), therefore confess the Word (the Word of God) believing that what you said
shall come to pass, and it shall be so. That is God's promise!
Again I would like to mention here
that you can only confess what you know. The Scripture enjoins us to delight in
the Word of God, meditating on it day and night. For you to rightly divide the
Word of Truth, you must know it. Col. 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!
« 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. »
Rev. 22: 17
Having read through this
testimony, you need no further preaching to give your life to Jesus Christ. The
Scripture says: “The thief (Satan) cometh not but for to steal, 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. Tomorrow may be too late.
