CONFRONTING WITCHCRAFT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

It has been very long since Christians have been fighting the enemy they do not know. One key to victory in any battle, even in football, is proper information about your opponent. This is the area the Church have neglected in spiritual warfare and therefore, paid a high price for this.

Quite often, we hear of the fall or sudden death of a great man of God, a sister being inexplicably sick for years, a marital home shattered, repeated miscarriages and extreme hardship for children of God, to mention just a few. There are also cases of missing pregnancies, missing private male organs and all that. There was this case of a car that ran over some cats on  a  Port Harcourt major road and the cats turned into three ladies; these ladies confessed to being witches on assignment. A church at Owerri was interrupted in their prayer session by a heavy sound as a man fell from the roof of the house. They saw a man who confessed that he was a wizard flying to a meeting but he was struck down by prayers from the altars of the church. A brother woke up from sleep as his son screamed from his sleep clawing his throat. Before they could reach the hospital, the boy was dead.

Funny enough, when anyone tries to pry into this area of study, we say he is going into unnecessary matters. Preachers use them for examples of those who have left the narrow way. Our members are also afraid of speaking out for fear of being misunderstood. A pastor who read the first edition of this book said that he believes everything I taught, but will not sell the book to his members, in order not to sow fear into them. That church later made news because of witchcraft activities. The pastor himself almost died of a witchcraft attack; his wife has been barren for more than ten years now.

While we preach sanctification our people are in heavy bondage to demons and frustration. So many problems of life befall our members and when we do not show possible way out, they turn to the white Garment churches, the occult, native doctors, medium etc. Before long, these instruments of Satan sow the seed of the evil one which causes our people to backslide.

Is it not time we wake up from our slumber? It is true that some people who tried to pry into this area actually ended-up in witchcraft, but this is also because of lack of information. The average Christian knows very little about the spirit-world and this is not healthy.

Witchcraft is a very important field to study, and you will do well to give it due attention. They are all over the world, no denying their existence. This book has come to provoke your interest in the study of witchcraft. I tried as much as possible not to waste my time as others have done, magnifying the works of Satan, but to bring out issues that encourage you to do further studies.

This book is not written for your library; pastors should make efforts to use some keys taught here in the lives of  their members. Families are also encouraged to do the same. Please reach out to me if you encounter any challenges. I am interested in raising prayer warriors all over the world because, as I said in this book, it is the only lasting solution to the problem of witchcraft in the world.

The prayer topics here are some that I have given to some clients and they testified to God’s presence as they used them. May our good Lord respond swiftly to your own prayers.

I have prayed for you, happy reading.
