Chapter 1: My Escape to "New
Life"
"Train
up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not
depart from it" (Proverbs 22: 6).
This is a story of God’s works - mighty, wonderful and
mysterious - in obedience to the command of JESUS CHRIST to me saying: “Go
and testify what I have done for you.”
One usually thinks of misfortune as an act of fate and
that we can do nothing to alter the events of
our lives. To an extent this is true. In the case of a child of God, his
life is planned1 (Proverbs 16: 9). Whether that plan is fulfilled or not
depends on a number of factors, the individual’s closeness to God, his
view about the ultimate purpose of life, and the socio-spiritual
environment he finds himself.
The course of your life is challenged by some external
factors. The crisis is reached when you give over your WILL one way or
the other, for good or evil. You can love or hate. You can wish to
understand or misunderstand. The will to obey is the greatest force of a
new born Christian, while the will to disobey is the most destroying
force of the sinner.
A child when left alone in the world is controlled by
one of two powers: good or bad, right or wrong, God or the devil.
Everyone is challenged by these two forces of life, and each must choose
which life he must live. And I believe that is what the Bible says:
“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he grows he will not
depart from it.” You will agree that the dearest and closest person to
any child’s heart is his mother. An orphan is an unfortunate child and
more exposed to attacks of the devil than children with parents. A
mother is a protector of body and soul but it becomes double tragedy
when both parents are lost and more so in most mysterious circumstances.
My story started 22 years ago in a little village called
Amerie Iriegbu
Ozu Item in Bende
Local Government Authority, Imo State. My parents were not classified
amongst the rich but my dad was privileged to inherit 42 hectares of
land from my grandfather, a blessing which has today brought the
greatest misfortune ever recorded in the history of the family. My dad
was greatly envied by his distant and near relations for reasons I do
not know, perhaps for his vast land inheritance.
We were a happy family, my parents having got four of us: Love,
Margaret, Emmanuel and Chinyere. After having the first two daughters,
my parents waited for 14 years before having me (the only son) and later
my younger sister Chinyere. This brought real happiness to the family
but this happiness was short-lived as the first tragedy struck. My
lovely and caring mother died. She was alleged to have died owing to
witchcraft, and four years later my father died, again through an
alleged work of juju involved against him. Two years after the death of
both parents my eldest sister, Love, disappeared mysteriously and
Margaret, the second daughter of my parents, went mental. It was a chain
of tragedies in the life of a humble and otherwise happy family. My
younger sister Chinyere and I were sent to our grand parents. There I
completed my elementary education and was later admitted into Item High
School. I read up to Class III and dropped out of school as a result of
lack of fund for fees etc. Shortly after that, my grand parents also
died. After all the ceremonies that go with burials, an unknown relation
collected my younger sister Chinyere, and up to this date I do not know
her whereabouts. I was forced by severe maltreatments to go back to my
father’s house, and there to live alone at the age of 13 years. How does
a child of 13 years feed himself in the midst of his father’s enemies
and consequently his own enemies? How very afraid I was! These events
seemed to have brought me to the end of worthwhile living. Was there
anyone who cared? Was there anyone who was concerned about “a little
boy's misfortune?”
One day I met a friend I knew during my elementary
school days named Chinedum Onwukwe. Chinedum loved me very much and
having heard all that befell took me to his parents who readily received
me and took me as a second son. Life came back to normal again. I was
well cared for. I was happy again: then I knew that the God my mother
prayed to when she was alive was alive somewhere hence He had provided
me with new parents, so I thought in my mind. I enjoyed this goodness
for about two years and then the devil struck again.
Chinedum and his parents were traveling to Umuahia
and their car ran into a tipper carrying laterites.
Chinedum and his parents died on the spot! On hearing the news I
collapsed. My sorrow could better be imagined. I managed to survive
through the burial ceremony, supplying those cooking with firewood and
running errands: at the end of which I went back to my father’s house
and resumed the menial jobs to be able to feed.
I continued doing odd jobs on the farm, in gardens, going a fishing with
elders until one day, a man from my compound hired me to work in his
farm for 50k. At the farm he subjected me to a series of questions.
First, he asked me to show him my father’s lands; secondly, to hand over
such lands to a man, no matter how closely related he was. In either
case I objected and he was offended. He then vowed to kill me in the
forest. I became afraid and ran and shouted for help. Unfortunately,
because the area was far into the thick forest, no one came but help
came from God. He pursued me with his knife but being younger I was too
fast for him and fell into a pit of about 1.82 meters deep and was
covered by the grass in it. He searched for me and after a while he gave
up. I later struggled out of the pit and through another route returned
to the village. I reported the incident to the elders in the compound
but no action was taken - the common plight of orphans. This incident
created real hatred in my young heart; no one loved me, no one cared. I
reflected in my mind why anyone would want to kill me knowing I had no
parents. Life was full of misery. Now I know that God in His love
restrained the devil from suggesting suicide to me. I turned to the
Church and became a full member of the Assemblies of God church in my
village (I still am) but unfortunately no one cared even when some of
the members knew about me. It is important to note that I became a full
member of the church without knowing Jesus Christ. I never knew what it
meant to be BORN AGAIN. If you are in the Church of Jesus Christ and
find yourself in the situation I found myself, give your life to the
Lord Jesus Christ. The Scripture says: “Let Him have
all our worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and
watching everything that concerns you” (1 Peter 5: 7 - 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!!!
Chapter 2: The Initiation
« There is a way which seemeth right unto a
man, but the end thereof are the ways of
death. » Proverbs
14:12
« But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose
waters cast up mire and dirt.
There is no peace, saith my God to the
wicked. » Isaiah 57: 20-21
And life outside Jesus Christ is exactly as stated in
the above Scriptures. I left my village armed with N50 and the address
given to me by Alice, escaping to freedom, liberty, enjoyment and
all that go with them: but as you will see later it was far from what I
had conceived in my young heart. When I arrived in Lagos, it was so
beautiful in my eyes and I compared it with Heaven, whatever Heaven is
like. I saw all those tall and beautiful buildings and on each face I
could see happiness (so I thought). People appeared very busy each one
minding his/her business. I was excited and said to myself, "Now I
know I am free!
I arrived at Akintola Road, Victoria Island and was well
received by Alice and her parents. The parents knew me and my background
as we came from the same village but never knew of my relationship with
their daughter. Alice then introduced me to them as a man she has
‘chosen’ to marry. The parents were shocked but after some discussions
with her, agreed on the condition that they would further my education.
Alice rejected their offer and requested that I be allowed to live with
her in her own flat. The parents could not accept this but she insisted.
They had a strong argument for four days and under some unexplained
influence they agreed and I moved in with Alice.
Alice, a very beautiful girl, told me
that she was an accountant with the Standard Bank and that she would
make me rich and give me all that I needed in this life and said: “Just
settle down and enjoy yourself!” My first impression about Lagos was
true after all; few months ago I was in a small hut in a small village
surrounded by hatred, starvation and suffering and here I am, living in
a big city, in a well furnished flat with a beautiful ‘wife’ who had
promised to give me all that life could offer. She showered me with
gifts, money, clothing, ‘love’ etc. I never knew that the world was
filled with these ‘good things’. The devil indeed is a deceiver! The
Scripture rightly says: “The thief cometh not but for to steal, to kill and to destroy. ONLY the
son of man (JESUS CHRIST) can give life and give it more abundantly”
(John 10: 10). Dear reader, the devil has no free gift! Whatever he
gives you is for an exchange with your soul. This state of euphoria was
short-lived, because after a period of three months strange things
started happening.
The Mysterious
Experiences
One night, I woke up in the dead of the night and found
a boa-constrictor beside me. I wanted to shout but could not. Some
nights, I would wake up to see Alice’s body as transparent as a
cellophane bag. Some nights, she would disappear and reappear. Some
nights I would hear strange noises or dancing in the living room etc. I
could no longer bear these fearful happenings so I decided to ask her,
and the first reaction was violence and serious warning. She said: “Do
not ask me this question again or else I will deal with you.”
From then I knew my life was in danger. I then preferred
the sufferings in the village to what I came to discover. I became
afraid of her. Two days passed and she came with smiles, gifts and
hugged me. She told me how much she loved and cared for me and
encouraged me not to be afraid and promised to explain things to me
later. She took me to a night club and there reminded me of her promise
to make me rich etc., and told me: “ONE DAY YOU WILL KNOW ALL THAT I
KNOW!” We came back and life continued as normal between us. Inwardly I
knew I was in danger, but how could I escape and where would I escape
to? It is important to note here that Alice’s parents did not know that
their daughter, though young, was involved seriously in occultism and
spiritualism and she seriously warned me never to tell them if I loved
my life. Dear reader, can you imagine, a 20 year old girl doing all
these things? The outside world saw her as a very beautiful and harmless
girl working with a big Bank but she was the devil’s agent. There are a
lot of Alices in the world today as you will
find out later in this book.
A Horrific Discovery
One day, after she had left for work, I decided to
search the flat. As young as she was, the flat was well furnished. She
had four refrigerators and on opening one, I saw human skulls, different
parts of human body both fresh and dry. Inside the ceiling were
skeletons. In another corner of one of the rooms I saw (what I later
knew as a ‘chamber’) a water-pot filled with blood and a small tree in
the centre of the pot, a calabash and a red cloth by it. I could not
continue. Now I knew that I was a dead man and since
I had no where to run to. I surrendered my life to whatever
comes, life or death and kept sealed lips. Alice came back from work and
from the way she looked at me, I knew that
right in her office she knew what I did in the house.
Encounter with the Occult
World
The following day she requested me to follow her to a
meeting. I was already a captive and had no choice. We went to a very
big building on the outskirts of Lagos. On arriving (the building had an
underground conference hall), I was
instructed by Alice to enter backwards. I obeyed and entered with my
back, she also did the same. The hall was so large with about 500 young
men and women seated in a circle, and seated above them was a man whose
head could only be seen and without a body, as the Leader. Some of these
young people were students, undergraduates, graduates, teachers etc.
Alice pressed a button on the wall and a seat came out from the ground
and I sat. She did the same and another came out for her and she sat.
She introduced me to the congregation as a new member and they applauded
and welcomed me. Alice was promoted as a result of this. All that they
discussed in the meeting I never understood. At the end of it and as we
were about to leave, I was asked to come back alone the following day by
the Leader. This was my first encounter with the occult world.
That same night, at 2.00 a.m. (and this is the usual
hour of meetings and dangerous operations by all the forces of darkness
and their agents), Alice woke me up and revealed certain things to me.
She said: “I am not an ordinary human being. I am half human and half
spirit but mainly of the spirit. What you see in my chamber is what I
use during my prayers every morning, so that the spirits will guide me
through the day. As for the skeletons I will tell you later.”
I never said a word. She brought out some books on world
mysteries for me to read, and with my inquisitive mind I decided to read
them. Shortly I became interested and immediately she saw that I was now
interested. Unknown to me, she sent my name to an occult society in
India. As previously instructed, the following day I went back to the
society alone and there met nine others and some witnesses. We were to
be initiated. We were called out to the centre of the hall and the
following things were administered to us:
1. A concoction that looked like putty was rubbed on our bodies. This
qualifies you as a full member.
2. A glass shot of oil-like liquid was given to us to drink. This
qualifies you to be an agent.
3. A gunpowder-like substance was rubbed on our heads. This qualifies
you to study their mysteries.
Unknown also to me, this initiation ceremony was being recorded in India
and the next day I received a letter from them. In the letter I was
instructed to stain the letter with my own blood and to post it back to
them through a means they described, not the Post Office. I did. From
this point, there was no turning back; turning back meant death as one
was always reminded and I knew there was no more hope for me.
Covenant with Alice
Early one morning, she told me there was an important
ceremony to be performed in the house. At 2.00 a.m. she brought a
crawling child, a girl, alive. Before my eyes, Alice used her fingers
and plucked out the child eyes. The cry of that child broke my heart.
She then slaughtered the child into pieces and poured both the blood and
the flesh into a tray and asked me to eat. I refused. She looked
straight at me and what came out of her eyes cannot be explained in
writing. Before I knew what was happening, I was not only chewing the
meat but also licking the blood. While this was happening she said:
“This is a covenant between us, you will never say out anything you see
me do or anything about me to any human on earth. The day you break this
covenant your own is gone.” Meaning that the day I break this covenant I
will be killed.
After this incident I started having strange feelings
inside me. I was changed and could no longer control myself.
A word of warning to mothers. Do you know
your house helps? What is his/her background like? Do you care to find
out all about him/her before entrusting the lives of your children etc.
to him/her? How did Alice get the little
child she slaughtered, you may ask. Therefore parents, know the
background of your house helps.
When Alice saw that she had succeeded in getting me
fully involved in SPIRITISM and was fast growing in it, she was
satisfied an knew her mission was accomplished. She found a flat for me,
helped furnish it and thereafter severed the relationship.
Covenant in India
The Society in Delhi, India sent me a second letter
asking me to come over to India. In it also I was instructed to do the
following: “Eat excreta, eat decaying smelling rats, and to have sexual
intercourse with spirits in the cemetery at night.”
After fulfilling the above I was bound never to have any
sexual intercourse with any women on earth. I sent a reply to their
letter informing them that I had no visa
neither do I know how to get to India. At this time I had started doing
‘business’. I was a serious smuggler but
because of these powers behind me I had no trouble with customs etc.
I started having a lot of money, food and materials were
no longer scarce. One day, I locked my flat and went out; coming back, I
opened the door and behold a man sitting in the parlor. I was afraid. He
said: “Are you not Emmanuel Amos?” I said I am. He said: “I have been
sent to come and collect you to India, so get ready.” I locked
everywhere, went and sat beside him on the cushion ready for the next
order. But like lightning, he touched me and we vanished.
The next place I saw myself was in a big conference hall
in Delhi, India, with a large congregation already seated and waiting to
welcome us. They brought out files where my name had already been
written and asked me to sign beside it. I did. A tray containing human
flesh, cut in pieces with a basin of blood were brought. An empty jug
was given to each person, then a man without
a head went round pouring the blood and flesh into the jugs. Different
candles and incenses were being burnt also. The headless man made some
incantations and everyone drank the blood and ate the meat and the
meeting was over.
The Initiations in India
Now the period of my testing had come. I was sent to a
valley about 200 metres deep. In it were
assorted dangerous reptiles and wild beasts. These were to torture me. I
was not to shout, for if I did, I have failed the exam and the
consequence was DEATH. After seven days of agony I was brought out and
sent to a place called ‘INDIA JUNGLE’.
In this jungle, I saw different types of demonic birds;
demonic because some had faces like dogs, some like cats, etc.
Yet with wings. Inside this jungle was a
cave, and this cave is only opened by these demonic birds. They opened
the cave and I went inside. The things I saw are hard to explain. There
were terrible creatures, some looked like
human beings but with tails and without human faces, etc. This was
another place of torture. The torture there could best be described as
semi-hell. I was in that state for 7 days and was brought out.
I was then sent to a very big library that contained
large volumes of mystic books to study. I later picked two books:
Abbysinia, which means destruction, and Assina,
which means giving life or curing. Later I was given more books. I was
instructed to build a chamber as soon as I return to Nigeria with the
following things in it: “A native water pot filled with human blood, a
living tree inside, a human skull, vulture feathers, wild animal skins,
boa skin and a big shiny
laterites beside the pot.” The blood inside the water pot is to
be taken every morning with an incantation. I was also instructed never
to eat any food cooked by HUMANS but that I would be fed supernaturally.
With all these instructions I came back to Nigeria the same way I went,
and fulfilled all.
Back Home in Nigeria
I had now become a part and parcel of the spirit world
and could travel at will to any part of the world. According to the
books I brought, spirit beings are living in space. Perhaps they would
increase my powers, so I decided to try. I came out of my house, made
some incantations and called the whirl wind and disappeared. I found
myself in space and saw these spirit beings. What do you want they
asked; I told them I wanted powers.
I came back to earth after two weeks having acquired
powers from them. Like I said earlier, I no longer could control myself.
Despite all these powers I had already received, I still needed more and
more powers! I then decided to go into underworld to prove what was
written in the books given to me.
One day I went to a hidden place in the bush, made some
incantations as stated in the books and commanded the ground to open.
The ground opened and the demons created steps immediately. I stepped in
and went right inside the ground. There was total darkness that can only
be compared with one of the plagues that occurred in Egypt as recorded
in the Bible. I saw a lot of things that are hard to explain. I saw
people chained, people used for making money - their duties are to work
day and night to supply money to their captors.
I saw some elite society members who came in to
do some sacrifices and would go back to the world with some gifts given
to them by the spirits controlling the place. I saw some church
leaders who came for powers, powers to say a thing that is accepted
without questioning in the church. I stayed for two weeks and came back
after receiving more powers. People saw me as young and innocent but
never knew I was dangerous. There are lots of such people around; only
those in Christ Jesus are safe in real sense of safety.
Covenant with
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.
Chapter 3: The Wicked Reign
«The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to
kill, and to destroy.
I am come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more 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.
(Luke 11:17-19)
What the prophet would do is, he will pray for the member and then give
him/her a red cloth to put in his/ her house, and then would advise
him/her to always pray with candles and incenses. By this act the person
invites us into his/her house. Sometimes the member would be advised to
bring a goat etc., for sacrifice. These sacrifices are for us to come
and help cure the man. The prophet has no power to cure or heal.
2. Opening of Maternities:
If a woman comes to us for assistance in opening a maternity and making
it prosper, she would be given this condition:
"A month would be chosen by us in which all the children born in the
maternity would die, but the other months the children would live.”
If she accepts, she would also be given a charm which
would attract people into the maternity. There are such maternities
in Onitsha, Lagos, etc. shoes are not allowed into such maternities.
3. Opening of Fancy Stores:
When a man approaches us for assistance in this respect, he would be
given a ring with a condition that no woman should be allowed to touch
it. He also must agree to be our member. If he accepts to fulfill
these conditions, his store would be stocked always with the best and
latest materials by us.
4. Giving of Children:
If a barren woman goes to some native doctors, after laying her
complaints, she would be asked to bring the following: a white cock,
a goat, native chalk and baby care. She would be advised to go and
in her absence, the native doctor will come to us bringing these things.
We would then mix certain things which are difficult to explain in
writing, and include human ashes. He would use this charm to cook
food for the woman etc. She would become pregnant and give birth,
but it's not a normal human being. If the child is a female she would
live and even get married but would remain barren all her life. If the
child is a male he will live and even be trained only to die suddenly.
They never live to bury their parents.
I would like to mention here that barrenness is
mostly caused by demons. You may see a woman barren here on earth, but
she would have children in the sea. I therefore advise God's
children to wait on God alone because only God gives real children.
5. Giving of Money:
If a man comes to us for money, he would be given these conditions to
fulfill: He will be asked to give a part of his body or if he has
a family he would be asked to bring his son. If single, he would
be asked to bring his elder or younger brother.
Whoever he decides to bring must be from the same womb.
Something worth mentioning is: during the killing of the victim, the
person who brought him would be given a spear or an arrow. His relations
would be made to file past in a mirror. As soon as the one he had
donates passes, he would be asked to strike and as this happens the
victim would die where he is.
There are other methods but one thing Satan does is
that: He makes sure that in the different methods, the donor becomes
responsible for the death of the victim, by making the donor strike the
victim. remember,
satan has no free gift!
Chapter 4: How Satan Fights Christians
«For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against spiritual wickedness in high places.»
Ephesians 6: 10-12
Fighting Christians
After the command by Lucifer to fight the Christians, we
then sat and mapped out ways of fighting them as follows:
1. Causing sicknesses.
2. Causing barrenness.
3. Causing slumber in the church.
4. Causing confusion in the church.
5. Causing lukewarmness in the church.
6. Making them ignorant of the Word of God.
7. By fashion and emulation.
8. Fighting them physically.
Amongst the above I would like to explain two:
1. Fighting physically:
With the T.V. given to me, I would see the born again Christians. We do
not fight hypocrites because they belong to us already. We would then
send our girls first to the big churches. Inside the church they would
be chewing gum or make a child cry or do anything that would distract
the people from hearing the word of God. They may decide to come
spiritually and cause the people to sleep while the preaching is
going on. The moment they see you have a sober reflection because of
the preaching, they would wait on you outside the church and as soon as
you come out, one of them would greet you and even present you a gift
(and it's always what you love) and would appear very friendly. She
would do everything and before you knew what was happening you had
forgotten all you learned in the church. But for a real Christian, one
of these girls, after the service, would jump out to greet you and would
desire to know your house with the pretext that she was new in town and
did not know many Christians around. On taking her home, she would
quickly buy bananas and the Christian would take this as a gesture of
love. She would continue her visits until she finally puts off the
light of Christ in you and then stops coming. Major operations in
the living churches and fellowships are: discouraging the Christians
from reading and studying the Word of God, and thereby making them
ignorant of their authority and of the promises of God. In crusade
grounds these girls would be sent to cause disagreements and
quarrels.
How Christians are Known?
The born again Christians are not known by the Bible they carry always
or the many fellowships they attend. They are known in the spirit
world by the light that shines continuously like a very bright candle in
the heart or a circle of light around the head or a wall of fire around
them. When a Christian is walking along, we see angels walking
along with him/her, one by the right, one by the left, and one behind.
This makes it impossible for us to come near him/her.
The only way we succeed is by making the Christian sin,
thereby giving us a loophole to come in. When a Christian is driving a
car and we want to harm him/her, we find that he/she is never alone in
the car. There is always an Angel by him/her. Oh if the Christian
only knows all that God has for him, he will not meddle with sin or live
carelessly!
2. The Making of Backslidden Christians
As a chairman appointed by Lucifer, I would send these girls to living
churches and fellowships. These girls would be well dressed and after
the preaching would come out for the altar call, pretend to have
received Christ and would be prayed for. At the end of the fellowship or
service they would hang around waiting for the preacher who naturally
would be very happy for these new converts.
The converts may even follow the preacher to his house.
If the preacher does not have the spirit of discernment she would lure
him into the sin of fornication or adultery. This takes place the moment
he admires her lustfully. She would make sure he continued in this sin
until she finally quenches the Spirit of God in him and then leave him,
mission accomplished.
At this juncture, I would like to give a testimony of a
Minister. In the evil spirit world he is known as a man of God. When he
went on his knees there would be confusion among us. We therefore sent
these girls to him. This man would even feed them but would refuse to be
enticed. They did all they could but never succeeded. As a result, these
girls were killed for their failure.
I then changed to a woman and went to him, and by words
an actions tried to entice him, but he was adamant. This was too much
for me, so I decided to kill him physically. One day, this Minister went
to Oduekpe Road market town. I watched him and as he bent down to price
some commodities I wheeled an oncoming trailer loaded with drums of oil
into the market where he was. The trailer struck the NEPA high tension
pole and fell right into the market, leaving many people dead, but this
Minister escaped. How he escaped was a miracle. Another day, I saw him
traveling to Nkpor town on foot. I again wheeled an oncoming army lorry
loaded with yams to kill him. The lorry went straight into the new
cemetery road, killed many people, but this Minister again escaped.
After this second attempt we gave up. He is still alive!
Because of a single Christian, the devil may decide
to destroy many souls, thinking he could kill him, but he always fails.
These incidents had happened to many Christians unknown to them, but
their God always delivered them. The trouble is,
the devil does not give up. His thoughts are always: “I may
succeed.” But he never does. As long as the Christian walks with
God's Love and remains in Him and does not get entangled with the
affairs of this life, the devil can never succeed, no matter how hard he
tries. Only the unbeliever is at his disposal.
The Oppression of the Christian
This mostly happens in dreams. A Christian
may see in his/her dreams the following:
1. A dead relation visiting him/her.
2. Masquerades pursuing him/her.
3. Mates swimming in the river.
4. Mates bringing food and asking him/her to eat.
5. A single female having sexual intercourse or even a married one
having sex with a man. This, if not dealt with, sometimes leads to
barrenness.
Or a pregnant woman sees herself having sexual intercourse with a man.
This, if not immediately dealt with, could lead to a miscarriage.
If a Christian experiences the above in his/ her dreams,
he/she should not put it aside by the wave of the hand, but on getting
out of sleep he/she should examine himself/herself and confess any known
sin unto God, bind all those demons and ask God to restore whatever had
been tampered with. This is very important. The person should also seek
the help and counsel of a mature Spirit-filled Christian, older in the
faith.
The Devil's Soul Winning
When Jesus Christ was leaving this earth; He gave His disciples a
command: “Go ye into all world and make
disciples of all nations.” While some Christians are still waiting for a
more suitable and convenient time to obey this command, the devil has
also given this command to his agents. The difference is,
the devil's agents are more serious in winning souls than the
Christians!
One of the areas of the devil's soul winning is the
secondary schools, especially girl’s schools. Some of our girls are
sent into the schools as students. We supply them with all the latest
and expensive underwear. This is first priority, because in girls'
hostels, they like using underwear only. Our agent would never lack
anything, cosmetics, dresses, underwear, books, provisions and money. A
particular bathing soap would be given to her to lend to any student who
requests for soap from her. A girl desiring to be like her would be
attracted and would befriend her. Gradually our agent would introduce us
to her. At this point we would visit her physically and would start
giving her gifts and meeting her needs. With this, she would join us
willingly. She in turn would win another and so on. This is taken as
a mission and it is carried out with a determination to succeed.
One thing should be made clear:
satan does not force anyone.
What he does is to attract and make you come to him willingly. That
is why the Bible says: “Resist the devil and he will flee from you”
(James 4: 7). Another area of soul winning for the devil is giving
lifts. We would send our girls to stand on the road, and usually
they are very beautiful and attractively dressed. You will also find
them in hotels and through these avenues we get men and women.
Many people we see advertised in the papers as missing, got lost through
giving lifts to girls they did not know.
You should therefore be careful who you lift in your
car.
Chapter 5: My Encounter with Jesus Christ
In the month of February 1985, we had our normal meeting
in the sea, after which I decided to travel to Port Harcourt in Rivers
State, to visit my late uncle's wife. I met a man called Anthony. He has
a workshop at Nwaja Junction, along Trans-Amadi Road, Port Harcourt,
Rivers State. He sent for me and since in our society we have a law
never to refuse calls, I decided to answer his call. I went to him in
the afternoon on a Thursday of that week. He started by saying God has
given him a message for me. He brought out his Bible and started
preaching. There were three other Christians seated (a male and two
females). He continued his preaching for a long time and I wasn't sure I
heard all he said. He asked me to kneel down for prayers. I obeyed and
quietly knelt down.
Immediately he started his prayers. I was knocked
down by the spirit of God and I fell flat. I struggled up and stood
like an iron. I destroyed the iron chairs inside the workshop. I looked
outside and saw three of our secret society members, a man and two
girls. They came in human form and moved towards the door but because
of the power of God they could not enter.
I am sure the alarm in the sea alerted them of the
trouble and with the T.V. they knew where the problem was and had sent
the 'powerless' rescue team. This always happens when any member runs
into trouble. While the two Christian men pulled me down on my knees,
the girls continued praying and binding the demons, but they were not
specific. They asked me if I believed in Jesus Christ, I said nothing.
They asked me to call the name of Jesus, I refused. They asked me my own
name and I told them. They struggled for hours and released me to go. No
spirit was removed from me, so I went out the same way as when I came
in.
The Church Events
The following day being Friday, I was invited by the
same Anthony to attend their night vigil at the Assemblies of God
church, Silver Valley, Port Harcourt. I accepted this invitation because
attending church services to cause slumber and confusion was part of our
assignments. The program started with choruses. We sang until one of the
members raised a popular chorus by a particular Christian Band, of the
powerlessness of other powers except Jesus' power.
Then I started laughing. I laughed because when in the
spirit I looked into their lives almost three quarters of the people
singing this chorus were living in sin. I knew that because of the
sins in their lives, they were exposed and could be harmed seriously by
these powers. It is important that Christians obey the word of God and
not allow besetting sins to remain in their lives. In that service
we were four from the sea and were singing and clapping with them. Again
I want to stress here that when a service is started, members should
be advised first to confess their sins, then
go into a period of real praises to God. This will make an agent of
Satan present very uncomfortable and in fact escape for his/her life.
In this particular service we were very comfortable and
even went into operation. Many started sleeping, choruses were sung
weakly and things went zig-zag. Brother
Anthony had already told them about me so at about 2.00 a.m. they called
me out to pray for me. As soon as I came out to the front they started
pleading the blood of Jesus. I stopped them and said: “It is not
pleading the blood that is the solution. I am a deep secret society
member. If you agree that you can deliver me, then will I kneel
down.” These words I spoke were not
premeditated. The blood of Jesus scares the demons and protects the
believer, but does not bind demons. Binding of demons only takes place
when the Christian uses his authority and gives the command.
They agreed and I knelt down. At that point a sister led
by the Sprit of God shouted and said: “If you are not worthy, do not
come near!” I am sure many did not understand what she meant. It is
dangerous for a Christian living in sin to cast out demons. Many
withdrew and a few came out to pray for me. As they started with “In
Jesus name,” I heard a big bang inside me and fell on the floor.
Immediately the flying demon in me went into action. I started running
with my chest. Anybody possessed with this flying demon is always very
wicked and dangerous. The brethren never saw what was happening
spiritually. I was running because of the stronger power in the room.
Two opposing forces went into action and the atmosphere
changed. I suddenly stood up and became very violent etc. A demon went
out of me and possessed a boy in their midst and he started fighting
them, trying to rescue me. The brethren never wasted time with him
rather they took him and others who were afraid to the church vestry and
locked them inside. This continued till 7.00 a.m. I was physically
exhausted and became quiet, so the brethren gathered around me again and
started shouting: “Name them!” “Who are they?” etc.
I kept quiet. After waiting for a long time and I said nothing, they
were deceived to believe that I was delivered. They prayed and we
dismissed. I was so physically weak that I found it difficult to walk
out of the church. But something happened, for as soon as I walked out
of the church and crossed the road, I became very strong physically.
Perhaps some of the demons that left came back. I became very angry and
decided to take vengeance on the church. “This people had insulted me” I
said to myself, and for this insult I was going back to Lagos and get
more powers with others as wicked as myself, and then come back to Port
Harcourt to take vengeance on ALL the members of the Assembly of God,
Silver Valley.
En Route to Lagos
On getting to my uncle's wife house, I told them I was
leaving for Lagos immediately. I refused to be persuaded to stay and I
took a taxi to Mile 3 motor park where I took
a taxi for Onitsha. My intention was to stop at Onitsha, see a friend
and then proceed to Lagos. At Mile 3 we took off and on getting to
Omagwe, at the International Airport Junction, I heard a voice calling
me by my native name “NKEM.” I turned around to see if there was a known
face in the taxi but there was none. Who could this be? Only my late
mother calls me by that name, all others including the spirit world knew
me as Emmanuel.
While I was still wondering, the voice came again:
“NKEM, are you going to betray me again?” I did not recognize the
voice but the voice continued asking me: “Are you going to betray me
again?” Suddenly I had severe fever. The heat that came out of my
body was so high that the other passengers felt it. One of them asked
me: “Mr., were you well at-all before traveling?” I told them I was well
and that I never had even a headache before leaving Port Harcourt.
At Umuakpa in Owerri, I collapsed inside the taxi. The
next I knew was that two men, tall and huge, came to take me, one on my
left and the other on my right, and they never spoke a word to me. They
led me through a very rough road with bottles and metals. As we moved
along, these bottles and metals gave cuts and I started crying but these
men still did not say a word. We moved on and came out to an express
road. It was here one of them spoke and said: “You are a wanted man!”
and we continued. We moved on to a very large and long building that
looked like a Conference Hall. As soon as we climbed the pavement a
voice from inside said: “Take him in!” They took me in and
disappeared, leaving me alone.
What I saw inside this hall is difficult to explain, but
I will try to explain as much as I can. The hall was well decorated and
so large and long that one finds it difficult to see the end of it. I
walked to the middle and then was able to see the end. At the end was an
altar. I saw a moon and stars surrounding the sun. Then I saw a throne
and seated on it was a very handsome man with a garment shining like the
sun. He said: “Come!” But because of His brightness I could not
go. Whenever I tried to move a leg I would fall.
I stood up, tried again and fell. Suddenly a moon came
out of the throne where He was sitting and moved on the ceiling right up
where I stood. Then two hands came out of the moon, held my head, shook
me and my physical body pulled off, like pulling off a dress. And the
real me stood. The hands folded it as if
folding a cloth and dropped it at the corner. The moon then moved back
to the throne and then He that sat on it said again: “Come!”
The Spiritual Cleansing
I walked to a point and He stepped out of the throne to
me, removed my legs one after another and poured out what was inside
them and fixed them back. He did the same with my hands and put them
back, in fact all the places the Queen of the Coast kept powers. I
wondered in my mind, who can this be and how did He know the spots these
things were kept. After this He went back to His throne and asked me to
come. As I started walking, certain objects started falling from my
body, scales fell from my eyes, etc., but before I got to the altar it
stopped. “WHERE ARE YOU GOING?” He asked.
I answered and said: “I am going to Onitsha to see a
friend.” He said: “Yes, but I will show you what you have in your
mind.” Up till this moment I did not know who He was, but one thing
was certain and that was He was more powerful than all the powers I had
come across. He beckoned on a man and asked him to show me what I had
conceived in my heart. This man took me to a room and opened something
like a blackboard. In fact, if there was a way to escape I could have
escaped, for before me was written all that I had planned against
Christians and my plan against the Assemblies of God church, Silver
Valley. The man brought me back to the altar and left.
He came out of the throne and took me by His hands and
said He was going to show me certain things. On our way He said: “I
do not want you to perish but to save you and this is your last chance.
If you do not repent and come and serve me, you will die. I will show
you the abode of the saved and the disobedient.” When He said this,
I then knew He was Jesus Christ.
The Divine Revelations
We entered a room and He opened something like a
curtain. I saw the whole world, the people and all the activities going
on. I saw both Christians and unbelievers all doing one thing or the
other. We went into a second room. He opened a curtain again and what I
saw was a sorry sight. People chained! He called these people “the
hypocrites.” These people looked very sorrowful and He said:
“They will remain this way until the judgment day.”
We went into a third room. He opened a curtain and I saw
many people rejoicing and wearing white garments. This time I asked him:
“Who are these?” He said: “These are the redeemed awaiting their
rewards.” We went into a fourth room and what I saw was very
frightening.
Dear reader, it is difficult to describe. It looked like
a whole city on fire. Hell is real and terrible. If you had been
made to believe that Heaven and Hell are here on earth and that man has
no hereafter but total annihilation after death, you better be well
advised here and now that there is a real hell and there is a real
heaven! No wonder when Jesus Christ was on earth He warned man about
hell. I say it again, hell is real. I saw it and it is a terrible place.
I asked Him: “What it is?” His answer was: “This is prepared for
satan and his angels and for the
disobedient.” He named them as recorded in Revelations 21: 8: “But the
fearful and unbelieving and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers and sorcerers, and idolaters and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
We went into a fifth room and when He opened a curtain,
what I saw can only be described as GLORIOUS. It was as if we were
looking at it from mountain top. I saw a new city. The city was
so large and beautiful! The streets are made of gold. The buildings
could not be compared with anything in this world. He said: “this is
the hope of the saints. Will you be there?” Immediately I answered
“Yes!” After this we went back to the throne and He said:
“Go and
testify what I have done for you.”
Again, He took me to another room and when He opened a
curtain I saw all that I was going to encounter on my journey to Onitsha
and Lagos and how He would finally deliver me. After this He said to me:
“Do not be afraid, go, I will be with you.” He led me out of the hall
and vanished, and I woke up on a bed in another man's house. I shouted,
so the man and his wife ran out from their room. They first peeped and
then came in. “Why am I here?” I asked. The man then narrated how I
collapsed in a taxi and how they carried me to the Catholic Cathedral
there in Owerri. How they sent for a Doctor, who came and after
examining me said my pulse was normal and that they should wait and see
what would happen. The Doctor gave them the assurance that I would
revive. The man then took me in his car to his house and had been
waiting. He also confessed he never knew why he believed the Doctor and
why he took responsibility of taking me to his house.
They asked me my name and address which I gave them and
after that I kept quiet and never told them my experience. I stayed
calmly with this kind family for two days and then the man and his wife
drove me to the Owerri motor park, where I took a taxi to Onitsha. All
that the Lord showed me about my journey happened one after the other. I
took another taxi to Lagos first thing the following morning. I obeyed
and left Lagos for Port Harcourt the following morning. I often ask
myself, why would the Lord save a man like
me. A man so wicked and destructive, an agent of Satan! I found the
answer in these three words: God is love. Indeed, God is Love!
(1 John 4:8, 4:16)

After my conversion to Christ, the first thing that
happened was all the gifts from the sea, the telescope, the T.V.,
shirts, photographs I snapped inside the sea laboratories and the
photograph of the Queen of the Coast which were displayed in my flat
vanished.
On returning to Port Harcourt, I had the urge to testify
what the Lord had done for me but was not allowed in the church. My late
uncle's wife, who is also a Christian, took me to one of the pastors,
but the question he asked was: “Did he bring the paper?” It was later
that I understood that the paper he meant was a 'membership letter.'
What has membership letter to do with my testifying the power of Christ
and what He has done for me- God, translating me from the power of
darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son, in whom I have redemption
through His blood, even the forgiveness of my sins?
I was sad, having known that Satan does not allow young
converts to go about testifying, especially those who previously were
deeply involved in his activities, and would do everything to stop such
testimonies. Again I remembered, the Lord clearly instructed me to “go
and testify what I have done for you” and here I was faced with
rejection. Perhaps it was not yet time. So I decided to shelve giving my
testimony to anyone. I traveled with three traders from Aba to Togo for
a business trip. There I bought goods worth N160,000
(One Hundred and Sixty Thousand Naïra). Out of this amount my personal
money was N70,000 while the remaining N90,000
was borrowed from traders in Aba. Amongst the things I bought were
bundles of laces, assorted drugs (especially antibiotics), injections,
thermometers, etc. At the Nigerian border, we were held by the Customs
and later were asked to pay some bribe. We refused and the goods were
seized including those belonging to my colleagues. A few months later,
those belonging to my colleagues were released, except mine. I went back
later and was asked to pay N40,000, but on
checking the goods I discovered that all the valuable goods, bundles of
laces, injections, drugs, etc., were already stolen. I assessed the
remaining goods and knew that paying N40,000
to the Customs would only increase the loss, so I decided to forego the
remaining goods.
The traders whose money I borrowed started chasing me.
Some called the police, others took the laws
into their hands and planned to do away with my life. The only solution
was to close my Bank accounts and use all the money I had to settle all
the debts. By God's grace, I paid all except N1,000
meant for my landlord in Lagos. I went completely bankrupt and would
borrow even 20k for taxi fare.
I went to a few business Christians I knew then, to seek
for help to enable me start afresh. None said yes or no, rather I would
be asked to come the following day repeatedly until I would be tired or
find help. I did not know the Word of God and with all the confusion in
my heart, I would read the Bible and would not understand. Still
contemplating on what to do, I received an urgent call from my village.
I rushed home and found that the little building I was setting up had
been pulled down by my uncle who was also present and threatened to kill
me. The old nature in me was challenged. I remembered when I was with
the secret society, how he dreaded me and would go on his knees before
me. But now he knew I was a changed man (how he knew I did not know as I
had not traveled home since my conversion) and he now threatened me. I
called on the Lord and said: “So you saved me to leave me frustrated and
to allow my enemies to rejoice over me!” I wept and decided to go back
to the society.
At least I would be saved from all the confusion and
would also teach my uncle a lesson he would never forget all his life.
Although I took the decision, I had two prominent fears within me:
1. During my conversion, the Lord clearly told me:
“This is your last chance.” My going back to the society might mean
death, not only physical but also spiritual death.
2. If I remained in the Lord, my uncle was breathing threats to kill me.
I was so confused and I needed help. I was ignorant of
the Word of God and never knew what the Word says in respect of the
above. Dear reader, you will realize here that I had all these
confusions because of lack of follow-up as a young convert. Follow-up
for young converts is very important and Christians should take this
seriously. If you know you cannot follow-up your converts, please do not
go out for witnessing. Jesus Christ emphasized this three times when he
asked Peter: “Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou Me more than these?...
Feed my
lambs.” Many converts backslide because of lack of proper follow-
up. If you love Jesus, take care of His lambs!
The Battle with Satan's
Agents
During this period the Queen of the Coast's agents
started pursuing me. I suffered greatly in their hands. I had
nightmares. On the 1st of May 1985, a month after my conversion, at
about 2.00 a.m., others in the house were asleep. I was awakened by
these agents. They commanded me to walk out of the house. I obeyed,
walked out and they followed behind. It was all happening like a dream
but this was in reality. We moved on to the burial ground by St. Paul's
Anglican church, off Aba Road, Port Harcourt.
On reaching there they said: “You must come back. If you
refuse we will kill you or make you a destitute.” After this instruction
they left. I regained my senses and wondered how I came into the burial
ground. I went back to bed and slept. They decided attacking me in the
afternoons. At times, while walking along the road they would fight me.
Others around would see me fighting with the air or see me running as if
being pursued. I alone would be seeing them. This they did for four
times and stopped. Then their leader, the Queen of the Coast, took over.
The first day she came in a car and parked beside our house. She was
well dressed and as usually very beautiful. People around took her to be
my girlfriend. Immediately she came in I knew who she was. She came at
about 12.00 noon when the whole area was less busy. She sat down and
among other things said: “You can go to your church, believe whatever
you want to believe, but if only you will not reveal me, I will
give you anything you need in this life.” I had not known the Scriptures
so I only listened and watched her walk. She pleaded and tried to
persuade me to come back to her. I never said yes or no to her. She
stood up, walked into her car and drove off.
About two times my uncle's wife entertained her without
knowing who she was and I never told my uncle's wife who the lady was.
During her last visit she changed her approach. This time she gave me a
stern warning saying that she had tried during these visits to persuade
me to come back to her and that I had been very stubborn, and that this
was her last visit. If I still refuse to come back, she would come to me
in August and would either kill me, or disfigure me or make me
destitute. With this she left.
I was afraid, so one day I went to the church and called
out a brother. I told him my problems and my observations on some
members of the church, etc. This brother gave me the SCRIPTURE UNION'S
(S.U.) office address and told me: “There you will find help.”
Incidentally that was the last day I saw this “brother.” I have never
seen him anywhere in Port Harcourt up till date. I took the address and
the following day, took a taxi to No. 108 Bonny Street, where the office
is and met the typist who gave me the quarterly program of activities of
the S.U. Rumuomasi Pilgrims Group, being the one nearest to me. She
said: “Come on Sunday!” I was there at the Fellowship Centre - St.
Michael's State School, Rumuomasi - at 2.00 p.m., not knowing that the
fellowship starts at 3.00 p.m., but I met the prayer band, so I joined
them.
After the fellowship that day I knew this was the right
place for me. God provided me with a Christian lady, whom I took as a
mother, who took interest in explaining the Word of God to me and
counseled me as well. The brethren became very interested in me and
cared. I saw real love. The Holy Spirit began giving me understanding of
the Word and my faith grew. But the Queen of the Coast did not show up
as she threatened. Psalm 91, God's protection, was fulfilled in my life.
Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the
servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, said the Lord.”
This also was fulfilled.
September 1985, I received a message that my name
appeared as a distributor with the Silver Brand Cement, Lagos and that I
was expected to report at the office on 27/9/85. I left Port Harcourt on
26/9/85 and arrived in Lagos in the night. The following morning
27/9/85, I went into the office only to be told by the Personnel Manager
that my allocation had been assigned to someone else. He asked me to
repeat the following day 28/9/85 to see the Managing Director. On my way
back to my flat, passing through a path, someone came from behind and
gripped me and tried to suffocate me i.e. held my nose and mouth
together. I struggled for life and while people passed by, none came to
my rescue, but the Lord intervened. While I still struggled with the
hands I heard her shout and pushed me away saying: “Who is that person
behind you?” She repeated a second time and disappeared. From the voice
I knew it was a woman but never saw who she was. I was dazed and
staggered to my flat.
Here again my landlord was very furious and said: “Why
did you run away with the money of my rent?” I pleaded with him and
tried to explain that presently I was not working and would pay all his
money as soon I had money. With the way he consented I thought this
matter was settled. The following day 28/9/85, I went back to the office
and met the Managing Director who apologized for having given my
allocation to another. While he was still talking a young man walked in
and asked me: “Are you not Emmanuel?” I said: “Yes, I am.” He said:
“Yes, we have got you at last! Have you finished running? We have
visited Port Harcourt several times and found that you were always with
your spiritual mother. She had been a stumbling block to us and now that
you have come to Lagos we have caught you! You can never go back to Port
Harcourt. I am the one that took your allocation.” I challenged him and
told him: “You can't do anything!” The Managing Director was surprised
at what was happening in his office. I excused myself and left for the
flat.
Few minutes later I heard a knock on my door and NINA
entered. She asked me if I was going back to Port Harcourt. I answered
yes. She pleaded with me to come back to them and that the jobs I was
particularly trained for were still lying unaccomplished: KOTIPARI (in
the Yoruba language). I had been trained:
- to be in charge of the
agents of demonic powers.
- to be in charge of the “sea control room,” to monitor the happenings
in the world, to send and receive signals, and to mobilize forces, etc.
- to be next to the Queen of the Coast. This involved not only
ceremonies, sacrifices, execution of special assignments by her, but
also other things difficult to explain.
- with the assistance of the powers of
darkness, to establish new secret societies that would appear harmless
so to attract young people and more church goers.
She said, if I accompanied her, what awaited me
was double promotion and many blessings. She
confessed they were responsible for my goods being seized and stolen,
also that they instigated my uncle to destroy my building and to
threaten my life. That if I refuse following her, they would do more and
make sure that I did not prosper. That they had decided to fight my
spiritual mother: “If we get her, we've got you” she said. At that, I
started preaching to her. She stood up and said: “They are deceiving
you,” and left. This took place in the evening of 28/9/85.
Not quite fifteen minutes she left I heard another
knock. This time they were four men. They beckoned on me to come out and
I saw myself going along with them. We walked up to about 2 poles and
one of them asked me: “Do you know us?” I said no. He continued: “We
have been hired by your landlord to kill you.” While
he was still speaking one among them brought out a gun and another
brought out a dagger. I was defenseless and knew that they would
kill me, but God in His supernatural manner performed a miracle that
surprised both myself and themselves. The man
with the gun fired at me but there was no sound. The man with the dagger
used it on my back but it never penetrated rather it sounded like using
a rod on someone. They were as frightened as I was. The Spirit of God
came on me and I started preaching. Three of them ran away, but the
fourth man broke down and started weeping and pleaded that I should pray
for him. I did not even know what to pray at that time but only said:
“Lord, please forgive, forget and pardon him. Amen!” He gave his life to
Christ so I took him to a Pentecostal church and explained what happened
to the Pastor. I handed him over to the Pastor and left. As I walked
into the house the landlord ran out and on his knees started pleading
and said: “Please forgive me. I thought you decided to run away to Port
Harcourt because of my money (N1,000).” I
forgave him and we finally agreed that the money be paid by
installments.
That same night, about 2:00 a.m. the Lord woke me up. I
did not know why I woke up so I walked to the living room and what I saw
was a large tortoise facing me. Immediately I remembered the Bible study
we had in Port Harcourt, about the power in the word. I then spoke these
words: “Tortoise, since I was born, the home of the tortoise is either
the bush or the sea, but for coming into my house while windows and
doors are locked you have sinned, and for this you must die.” As soon as
I said this it vanished. I went back to the room and slept. A second
time again, I woke up and heard some noise in the living room. I went
and there standing before me was a horrible looking vulture. I repeated
the same words and as soon as I said: “For committing this sin you must
die,” it vanished also. During this Lagos trip I saw God's goodness,
greatness and faithfulness.
The following morning 29/9/85, I took a luxurious bus to
Port Harcourt. Reaching Ore, the bus ran onto a tree. It got damaged but
no one was hurt. The driver pulled it out back to the road and as he
drove along, the bus started swerving from one side of the road to
another. I remembered NINA's threats, so I
stood up in the bus, preached to the passengers and concluded by saying:
“It is because of me that these accidents are happening. But from now
on, there shall be no more accidents until we get to Port Harcourt, in
Jesus' name!” And I sat down. In fact, when I sat down, I wondered at
what I had said. And so it was. The vehicle moved smoothly to Port
Harcourt. No more accidents or breakdowns. The Scripture rightly says:
“Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by
Me: whosoever shall gather together against
thee shall fall for thy sake” (Isaiah 54: 15). They (the Queen of the
Coast and her agents) tried, but because their gathering was not unto
the Lord but against His child, they all stumbled and fell.
“When the
enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of God shall lift up a
standard against him” (Isaiah 59: 19). I give God all the glory for
showing Himself strong on my behalf.
Chapter 7: Activities of Satan's Agents
«Put on the whole armor of
God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places»
Ephesians 6: 11-12
This book would not be complete if the different methods
of operation of these powers are not exposed. Also it is important that
the different forms in which they manifest themselves be exposed.
One thing is clear and that is, the devil would
either encourage you to believe that he is a myth or simple evil
thoughts, or would make you see more of his powers and less of the
powers of God. While the Bible says: “We wrestle not against
flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places,” the Bible also says that the weapons of the Christians
against the devil and his agents “are not carnal but mighty
through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down
imaginations and every high thing that exalteth
itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10: 4-5).
Again the Scriptures clearly declare: “For this purpose the Son of
God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John
3: 8). And Jesus having spoilt principalities and powers, He made a
show of them openly, triumphing over them.
“Thou art snared with the words of thy
mouth, thou art taken with the words
of thy mouth” (Proverbs 6: 2) say the Scriptures. Therefore the
child of God must be careful to confess the Word of God, which God has
promised He will hasten to perform. There are three confessions stated
in the Word of God:
1. Confession of the Lordship of Christ.
2. Confession of faith in the Word, in Christ and in God the Father.
3. Confession of sin.
When we hear the word “confession,” we easily think of
sin. The dictionary definition of confession is:
1. Affirming something we believe.
2. Testifying to something that we know.
3. Witnessing of a truth we have embraced.
It is therefore to be regretted that whenever we use the
word confession some minds run to sin. The author is here encouraging
the child of God to start today to confess what God has said. You who
were dead in trespasses had God quickened together with Christ and He
has raised you up together and made you sit in heavenly places (far
above principalities and powers) in Christ Jesus. Christians should
therefore realize where they are seated. They should know that they are
operating from that height, above Satan and his agents. The Lord Jesus
Christ has given you all powers and authority just as He
has given you all that
pertaineth to life and godliness (2
Peter 1: 3). God never intended that circumstances should control His
children, rather that the Word of God in the mouth of the Christian
should control his circumstances. God spoke in
Jeremiah 23: 29 saying: “Is not my word like as a fire?
saith the Lord;
and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in
pieces?” Christians, I mean born again Christians, should realize
that when the name of Jesus is pronounced, what comes out of their mouth
is fire. When a Christian stands on the authority given him by Christ
and gives a command in Jesus name, fire pours out of his mouth and any
demon controlling the circumstances must obey. Jesus is alive today to
see to it that every word of His comes to pass. Again, I want to
highlight an important fact many Christians overlook, and which Satan is
using. Jesus, after Peter pointed out to Him the dried fig tree cursed
by the Lord, said:
(Matthew's account)
“Verily I say unto you, if ye
have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the
fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, be thou
removed and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done. And all
things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall
receive (Matthew 21: 21-22).
(Mark's account)
“Have faith in God. For verily I say
unto you, that whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, be thou
removed and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his
heart, but shall believe that those things which he said
shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he
saith” (Mark 11: 22-23).
Here the Lord points out to us the power of the spoken
word and also encourages the Christian to be specific in his prayers and
in exercising his authority. Some Christians ask the mountain to move
but do not tell the mountain WHERE to go. Jesus said if you shall say to
the mountain: “Be thou removed and
be thou cast into the sea...”
Let us take the case of casting out demons for instance. Some Christians
bind and cast out demons without sending them to specific destinations.
This is dangerous. When you bind a demon it is bound. If you cast
it out without sending it to a specific destination, it remains within
the vicinity. If the demon is only rebuked out of a man, he may later
come back or enter into anyone around who is not a Christian. Therefore
Christians should be careful when dealing with demons. Make sure the
demon is bound, cast out and sent to a specific
destination, (and forbid to enter again).
Some Christians while praying would say: “I arrest you
demons in Jesus' name.” In the spirit world you really see demons
standing erect waiting for the next command. But if the Christian stops
at that point, he has not helped the victim. Do not play around with the
devil. You don't play around with your enemy. God has sent you
out on a ministry of deliverance and reconciliation (reconciling men to
God). Therefore you must be careful to do a thorough work. I repeat,
when you bind a demon, it is bound. When you cast it out to any
destination it is so. As long as you do not meddle with sin but live in
the will of God, whatever command you give the devil or his agents in
the name of Jesus must be obeyed. God has promised to back every
word of His. As we go on to the next phase, manifestation of Satan and
his agents, I want you to have the following passages on your mind:
1.
“Ye are complete in Him which
is the head of ALL principality and power” (Colosians 2: 10).
2. “Behold, I give you power (authority) to tread on serpents
and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and
nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)
3. “Behold, they shall surely gather together but not by me.
Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. No
weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that
shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and their righteousness is of me.”
I want to show you in this book that these evil forces
operate mainly in churches, market places, graveyards, jungles, hotels,
sea and air.
In the Churches
We are witnesses today that there are many possessed
persons in the churches. Some speak in tongues and even prophesy. Only
those with the Spirit of God can discern these fellows. But we are here
discussing the agents of Satan in the churches. Again, we are not
discussing the secret cult members who are in the churches (some are
even leaders), we know they are there. What I am talking about is
those who come in as agents of
satan:
1. To cause quarrels and confusion in the churches.
2. To scatter the churches.
3. To make men and women sleep while the sermon is on.
4. To cause distraction of various sorts when the service is on.
5. To win souls for Satan.
Since I had already said a few things on the above in
chapter three, I will only give you a testimony of what happened in the
recent past. Christians should abide by every word of the Lord Jesus
Christ, because when they disobey or compromise they are prone to fall
at the slightest attempt of Satan or his agents. Christians have been
called out from darkness into God's own marvelous light.
Christians have been called to total separation from the world
and what it offers. “Come out from among them and be ye separate,”
(2 Cor. 6:17)
says the Scripture.
There was this sister, sister J (name withheld). She was
born again and was full member of one of the 'living' churches. She
later transferred her membership to my own denomination. She partook in
all the activities in the church and was very active in them. But her
character at a point became suspicious. So a few of us decided to visit
her at her house and to find out what was really wrong with her. While
interviewing her, the spirits in her were provoked and began
manifesting, and then told us she was their agent in the church. These
demons were cast out of her and deliverance was ministered to her.
“Sister, how come you are an agent of Satan, yet a full member of the
church?” we asked. What she told us was the following: It all started
one day, after a Sunday service, a 'sister' (female believer in Christ,
so she thought) came to her and expressed her desire to be close to her
because, according to this 'sister,' she admires sister J's Christian
life. She accepted her friendship without reservations. The two went to
sister J's house and the so-called 'sister' brought out bananas and
ground nuts, which they both ate. She stayed with Sister J for a while
and later left.
Her visits became regular, and on each visit she brought
gifts to sister J. The gifts ranged from dresses, shoes, money, etc. On
some occasions sister J's friend would come with many other girls. This
continued for a period and when the 'sister' saw that she had succeeded
in putting out the light of Christ in Sister J, she changed and started
visiting Sister J in the spirit. Sister J was then given a red cloth, a
water stone, a ring for her right toe, and a chain for her ankle.
Because she had eaten so much with them and had taken so much from them,
there was no chance of turning back. She entered into covenant with them
and started attending their meetings. She could change into snake, bat,
etc. She then became their agent to win souls for them in the church.
Praise God she is now delivered! All the gifts given her
were destroyed and she is now happy again in the Lord. Dear reader, it
all started with an unusual friendship, and because Sister J lacked the
spirit of discernment and was not watchful as is commanded by the Lord
“watch and pray that ye fall not into temptation,”
(Mark 14:38) she went astray and
fell deep into the hands of the enemy and her race could have ended in
hell because of carelessness. You can easily identify Satan's agents
with the following:
- They wear rings on one of their big toes,
chain around the ankle, nose-rings, unusual bangles, etc.
- They could enter into a church or fellowship and be very zealous
in the activities of the group or church, just for a single Christian
they are after. Some behave abnormally, others are wicked, etc.
That is why the child of God should ask God for the
spirit of discernment, to enable him/her identify them at a glance. The
moment they know you have recognized them, they make sure they do not
come near you. The reason being that their master will warn them about
you!
In the Market Places
They operate in various forms in the market. The
market is one of their major areas of operations, just as the hotel
is where they lay in wait for men. In the market, they pick their
victims, some pregnant women whose miscarriages they cause to enable
them get the blood for their blood banks. Some victims they would
accompany to their residence in order to visit such in the nights. This
happens to the unbelievers! Certain fanciful products sold in the market
e.g. necklaces, lipsticks, perfumes, and food items such as sardines
“Queen of the Coast” etc., have strange origins.
There are certain actions Christians have to watch out,
for you might see a lady or perhaps a gentleman who suddenly touches
your stomach or any part of your body. It causes sickness. The Christian
therefore should, on experiencing this, give the word of command in
Jesus' name, scattering or destroying the plans of the devil, etc. And
sure enough whatever you scatter or bind here on earth shall be so.
(Matt 16:19, Matt 18:18)
Cultural activities
It is also very important to note that many people get
initiated into Satan's activities or get possessed through most of these
cultural ceremonies and dances. Most of our cultures are demon
oriented. Some through friends, others through
reading some pamphlets or novels. Demons hover in the vicinity of
every idol. They function through idols in the practice of idolatry
(Zachariah 10: 2). As a definite part of religion, idolatry ascribes
divine power to natural agencies and pays divine honor to a created
object (Romans 1: 18-22). The Scripture defines idolatry as spiritual
adultery (Jerimiah 3: 8-10). Therefore a
child of God should have no connection whatsoever, directly or
indirectly, with idolatry. So called high life, juju and disco music are
inspired by Satan and his demons.
I do remember, that before the Lord saved me, in one of
the meetings we had with Satan, he said: “This world is mine and I am
going to rule the whole world in my power, and would destroy all who
believe in the name of the Righteous One.” Satan does not mention the
name of Jesus. If anyone does that in his presence he/ she
stands the risk of losing his life. He
promised making those of us his agents, governors, etc. Satan is a liar
and indeed the father of lies. (John 8:44) There were also plans to silence the
Christians in Nigeria by restricting importation of Bibles and Christian
literature.
He operates through unbelievers in positions of
leadership and authority, to initiate anti- Christian policies and
programs. He establishes healing centers which would appear very
religious and through them claim souls. These centers usually called
spiritual healing homes are all around us. Here many lying wonders
are performed to deceive their clients. Satan is very much aware of the
second coming of Jesus Christ and constantly urges his agents to
hurry and be ardent in their operations, always saying: “We have
no time left.” Dear child of God, Satan is not sleeping, why must you
sleep?
Chapter 8: The Believer's Weapons
- THE NAME OF JESUS
- THE BLOOD OF JESUS
- THE WORD OF GOD
- CHRISTIAN PRAISES
« Finally brethren, be
strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil » Ephesians 6: 10-11
« And they overcame him by
the blood of
the lamb and by the word of their testimony... »
Revelations 12: 11
I have already said much on this earlier, but just to
give a few instances. Please realize that there is POWER in that
name of Jesus! There is Power in the Blood of Jesus!
The Scripture says: “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled
himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also had highly exalted Him, and given Him a
Name which is above every name: That at the Name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth and
things under the earth: And that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2: 8-11).
Again the Scripture says: “And they overcame him by the Blood
of the Lamb and by the Word of their testimony” (Revelations 12:
11). Let the name “Jesus” always be
on your lips! These two, the name and the blood, scatter the plans of
Satan, and in fact destroy the strategies of Satan and his agents.
Secondly, you must learn to sing praises to God
always. There is power in praises. There was this Pastor -
Pastor I.K. (name withheld). He was pastoring
a church in Ebute Metta. He became my target
and his offences were:
1. He disturbed our peace by carrying out early morning
calls i.e. preaching in the early hours.
2. He went about with his megaphone and stationed himself at #
2 Bus-stop along Akintola Road, Ebute Metta.
There he would preach. He would not stop at that but would keep binding
demons, etc.
3. In his church he would preach, exposing the works of darkness, after
which he started binding demons.
4. He prayed a lot.
5. He was always singing and praising God.
I sent my messengers to him but they could not kill him
so I decided to carry out the mission myself. On the said day, I saw him
walking along the new G.R.A. A thing worth mentioning here about this
Pastor is: any time we went for him, we would see pillars of cloud by
his right and left hands, walking along with him, so these hindered us.
But this particular day I saw nothing, so I was doubly sure my mission
would be very successful. I commanded rain to fall to enable me to
strike him with thunder. The rain started and the thundering began. All
the trees in the area started losing their branches, but this Pastor was
singing joyfully. I still remember the chorus:
“In Jesus Name every
knee shall bow.”
As he continued with this chorus the rain stopped, the
thundering ceased. There appeared immediately two angels, one of each
side, with flaming swords. Their eyes and the swords were like flames of
fire. Then a strong wind carried me away and I found myself in another
town! In fact I was baffled, but because we were so hardened, what I
said was: “This man has escaped again!” The Pastor did not know the
spiritual war that was fought on his behalf. So, you can see, the child
of God is well secured. When the Bible says:
“Nothing
shall by any means hurt you,” it means what it says!
The second testimony is about a Christian who boarded
the same taxi with me. He was very zealous and started distributing
Gospel tracts inside taxi. When he gave me the tract I rejected it. He
started preaching. So I became disturbed and knocked him with the ring
on my finger. That was to kill him. This boy shouted: “The blood of
Jesus!” Immediately lightning and fire and an angel appeared. A
strong wind again removed me with great force out of the taxi and into
the thick jungle. Had it not been that I was a man backed by evil powers
I could have got lost in the jungle. The Christian did not know the war
that went on his behalf. All he knew, including the other passengers,
was that I had disappeared from the taxi!
The name of Jesus or the Blood of Jesus in the mouth of
the believer sends out fire etc. The Scripture says:
“The Name of
the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous
runneth into it, and is safe” (Proverbs 18: 10).
Dear reader, if you are a child of God, remember that
God has magnified His word above all His name (Psalms
138: 2), therefore confess the Word (the Word of God) believing that
what you said shall come to pass, and it shall be so. That is
God's promise!
Again I would like to mention here that you can only
confess what you know. The Scripture enjoins us to delight in the Word
of God, meditating on it day and night. (Psalms 1:2) For you to rightly divide the
Word of Truth, you must know it. Colossians 3: 16 says: “Let the word of
Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.” Again Psalm 1:
1-3 says: “Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth
in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he also shall
be like a tree planted by rivers of water, that
bringeth forth its fruit in his season; his leaf shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doth shall prosper.” Get close
to your Bible; pray without ceasing; have a singing heart and stand,
exercise the authority given to you by the Lord Jesus Christ!
Chapter 9: Now What Next?
« The Spirit and the bride
say, "Come!" And let him who hears say,
"Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes,
let him take the free gift of the water of life. »
Revelations 22: 17
Having read through this testimony, you need no further
preaching to give your life to Jesus Christ. The Scripture says:
“The
thief (Satan) cometh not but for to steal, to kill and to destroy.
I (Jesus Christ) have come that you might have life,
and have it more abundantly” (John 10:
10).
Satan hates you and has devised various means of taking
you to hell with him. That, you can testify from
this testimony. If Satan makes a promise to you or even gives you
a gift, know that it is ill-intentioned. Satan is a liar and the father
of lies. God called him your enemy, why not believe God and His
Word?
It is not by accident that you came across this
testimony. Examine yourself and make sure you are in Christ. You will
only succeed in deceiving yourself if you choose to remain a 'church
goer' and worst of all, if you still
decide to put up an nonchalant attitude to this most important
decision of your life.
We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to
God. If you are not yet saved, that means if according to the Word
of God you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and
Personal Savior yet, following by water baptism by immersion, we
encourage you to do so without delay.
Tomorrow may be too late.
(Hebrews 3:15)
