Foreword

God's people contend not only with devils but


also with absence of knowledge, which is no
less destructive than the devils themselves.
“My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge,” God Himself laments (Hosea
4:6). Through laziness and a conspiracy of
errors, the enemy succeeds in our days to
keep soldiers ignorant of the battles they
face, which is where this book becomes
invaluable.

This manual on spiritual warfare, with


particular focus on dealing with witchcraft,
comes from the pen of experience. The
practical illustrations and real life stories
might seem shocking in some cases, but it is
the reality of the world we live in. The
lucidity of style, the methodical
presentation, and the scriptural
clarifications in the book make it an
endearing reading, even to the one not so
used to such information.
Pastor Emmanuel Nwosu has taken pains to
offer rudimentary clarifications of such
questions as, What is witchcraft? How do we
recognize it? What are its effects? How do

v
we confront it? etc. This is not one good book
to read and shelve. It is a handy reference
manual on the subject. It is often said that a
word is enough for the wise. I will say that
here is one more good word to make the wise
wiser and rescue the ignorant from their
suicidal lack of knowledge. There is meat in
this book.

Introduction

At the school of Deliverance and


Spiritual warfare (SDSW), students show
great interest in the topic discussed in this
book. Witchcraft operations and how to
check them is a great challenge to the body
of Christ.
In this book and other tittles in the teaching
manual series(TMS) I tried to be simple as I
present this topic. Questions are
deliberately raised to be answered, and the
answers come in such a way that readers do
not need to struggle to find them.
Issues discussed are very practical, so that
my reader can put them into practice and get
even a better result than I ever had. This
edition is much bigger that the first edition-
which was just a book of sixteen pages.
Hence, making a comparison of the two will be
difficult, but they have one thing in common;
drawing my readers into deeper spiritual walk

vii
that culminates in a fervent prayer life and
better knowledge of spiritual matters,
especially witchcraft.
For pastors and deliverance ministers,
“What I do in my church” and “Visit my
Arsenal” will be very helpful.

I do not go out trying to write a big book or


small book, but rather I try to be concise.
This is what I did here. Except where I can
not help it, information is passed on with few
words and bible passages mentioned as
references.
As you read this book, let the Spirit of the
book carry you, by that you would gain the
best from it.

I hope you really enjoy it.

Preface

It's 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

ix
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

x
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 sin 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 know very
little about the spirit-world and this is not
healthy.

Witchcraft is a very important field to study

xi
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 for 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 tried as much as I can 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
same. Please reach 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

xii
God's presence as they used them. May our
good Lord respond swiftly to your own
prayers.

I have prayed for you, happy reading.

Confronting Witchcraft in the Neighborhood

WHAT IS WITCHCRAFT?

G
enerally speaking witchcraft is the
use of magic power especially for evil
purposes. It is the activities of
Satan's kingdom. Anything Satan does is
witchcraft. Occultism is witchcraft,
whether it is the murderous activities of
Ogboni, AMORC, Eckankar, Okija shrine,
Ogun cult of Yoruba land, ritual murder or
the star gazers, worship of sun god, curses of
Indian magic or human being changing into all
kinds of animals to suck human blood or soul
travel, palm reading or Spiritism. All these
are categorized as witchcraft. When
Satanists and false prophets use the name of
Jesus Christ for ungodly purposes, it is also
witchcraft (Acts 19: 8-16).

1
Those that practice such are called witches
(wizards-masculine). Their ability to interact
with the spirit world often allows them to see
the future (Acts 16:16-18) which immature
Christians misinterpret as the voice of God.

ARE THERE REALLY WITCHES/ WIZARDS?

In Africa this question is irrelevant as the


evidences are everywhere. People wake up in
the morning to see their bodies lacerated
and the point from which the Satanists
sucked their blood is clear. A woman woke up
by the screaming of her daughter, only to
find the wall gecko sucking the blood of the
child from one finger. A man was lying on his
bed and noticed something like sand poured
all over his body. Two days after he became
sick, if not for the timely intervention of his
wife who is a believer, he would have died.
The level of witchcraft operations in the

2
West is in alarming increase. India breathes
and drinks witchcraft. Natural man's search
for supernatural power is almost always
directed towards witchcraft, because of his
tendency to do evil.

WHO IS A WITCH?

Any person into Satan's service: voodoo,


AMORC, Native doctors, Indian magicians
etc. The white garment churches are centres
for witchcraft. The point is that some people
just go there not knowing the activities that
take place underground. The classification of
white, red, and black witches is irrelevant. A
witch is a witch and all are packaged by Satan
to forward his programme. We will see more
about this later.

As stated earlier, whatever Satan or his


agents do is witchcraft, but there is this
category that actually takes upon themselves

3
the title of witches. They are those Bible
calls rulers of darkness. They are human
beings who have sold themselves over to
Satan and he uses them.

Why this group is most evil is that they hate


success of any kind. They do not even want to
succeed. Their food is human blood, dead rats
etc. A child who is initiated into witchcraft
will often throw away her food secretly. In
the advanced stage they appear physically
malnourished and haggard. There is never a
good house or property in any place they have
firm control. There are two cities in Nigeria
reputed for witchcraft, though ancient
cities, development sweeping through
Nigeria seems to avoid them. A mammy water
agent may own a good house and wear fine
clothes. Not a witch. That is why Bible says
that we should not allow them to live.(Ex.
22:18)

4
WHAT DOES GOD AND THE BIBLE SAY
ABOUT WITCHES?
Read Deut. 18: 10-14, Exodus 22: 18, Lev.
19: 26, 31, Acts 8:9-13, 19:13-20.

God is against witchcraft and those who


practice or patronize them. The Bible said
they should be marked for death because
they are one of devil's principal instruments
of wickedness. They are those Bible call
rulers of darkness in Eph. 6:12. They are
extremely wicked. Before somebody
becomes a witch or wizard the devil, through
his agents, defiles the mind of such beyond
repair by processes we can not discuss here.
After this, the person now have a spirit of
wickedness and thus calls good “evil” and evil
“good”. Most people suffer under witchcraft
from people they do good for.

At times one gives money or helps them one


way or the other, but as they gather in their

5
coven they condemn such a person for this
generous act and use this help against him.
It is common in our society these days for
one to hear of mothers killing their sons and
children killing their parents. A husband
maybe laboring with all his strength for the
family and his wife is working against him
spiritually. That is why most victims of
witchcraft are surprised when they discover
the source of the attack.

Devil empowers his agents with evil power to


destroy anything that reflect the purpose of
God. On the appearance it may seem the
native doctor is rendering you a help but at
the end it is evil. The mere having anything to
do with them is offensive to God.

THE UPSIDE-DOWN KINGDOM

T
his is one of the greatest mysteries
of the witchcraft kingdom, and one
that no right thinking person can
reconcile with. It is inconceivable to an
honest average person that somebody can
just get up and desire to destroy his life for
no just cause. He cannot imagine that while
he is struggling to feed his family his
neighbor is only thinking of frustrating him.
So when you now tell him that somebody is
waging a deliberate war against him, he
always retorts, “That cannot be true. I have
not wronged anybody, and so nobody can harm
me”.

This is just where and how devil and his

7
agents want us to reason. But the truth is
that they run an upside-down system of
judgment. A little illustration will help here.
It was sometime in 1994 a friend and I went
to pray for a man bed ridden for 8 years. The
man was reluctant to accept prayers. He died
some few months after. His sixteen years old
daughter later confessed that she belonged
to the witchcraft kingdom that tormented
her father on that sick bed till he died. While
the man was sick he could not pay his
children's school fees. This was one of his
primary concerns before he died. If
somebody told that man while he was alive
that one of the children was the root cause of
the problem, do you think he will believe that?
I have cases where mothers confessed to
using witchcraft to block the financial source
of their sons who were taking care of them.
Now when such cases are reported to a group
of Christians they heap abuses on the wicked
woman. But in the witchcraft kingdom the

8
woman present before Beelzebub the fine
cloths, shoes and jewelries her son bought
for her and they condemn him. Condemn him
for what? For doing good. In their kingdom,
what you call good is evil. They mobilize all
resources available to them to see that
people do not continue to do good. They send
out beggars, mostly elderly men and women,
to collect money from kind hearted people.
They take this money to their coven and use
it to place curses on these kind people and
their businesses begin to fail. Somebody
after reading this says if that is the case, no
more giving to the poor and beggars. That is
what they want. Bible says that giving opens
doors to receiving greater gifts from God
(Prov. 11:25, Luke 6:38). When you stop giving
you create a barrier to your own progress.
And those in real need can not get help. They
suffer and die in their problem, believing God
does not care for them. This is the exact
thing devil and his servants want. That is why

9
they are called the kingdom of darkness as
opposed to the kingdom of light. Only a
strategic approach based on the word of God
can give a total victory against this highly
organized evil kingdom.

HOW CAN ONE TELL A WITCH OR


WIZARD?

This is a difficult question and many have


landed in teaching errors in an effort to
answer this question. Remember this is a cult
built on secrecy. They want to remain secret
especially in areas they are few. But in some
areas where they have strong control, they
strut about proudly.

A woman lost her brother under mysterious


circumstances. Before he died they took him
to a mystic man who refused to do anything to
help him. I got to know about it when he was
dead. After listening to them I told them the

10
man was a strong occult wizard. They did not
believe me, because according to them the
man died poor. In their belief occult people
are always rich. This is another big lie. Occult
does not give wealth. What they do is that
they try to initiate wealthy men in the society
by promising them protection. If any turns
them down they concentrate attacks on him
until that one runs to them for protection and
is initiated. Not knowing that the attack
came from them, the man considers them as
very powerful. That is why some of their
members despise the gospel. But this is no
longer so because of the increase of
churches demonstrating the awesome power
of the Holy Spirit. Many of their members
which they held bound with fear are escaping
to living churches now.

Back to our story, I told the woman to go and


search the man's house. They were surprised
at their findings. They found a membership

11
card that said that the man had been a
member of the secret lodge of the AMORC
since 1976. This happened in 2007, which is
31 years membership. He lived and died in a
batcher house, he died poor and unhappy.
Before his death he violated a spiritual law,
which was why the mystic man refused to
help him.

I have told you this story to show that you


may be living with a witch or wizard right now
without knowing it. I tend to lay down some
common keys that could possibly decode a
witch or wizard.

1. Outright hatred for the gospel of Jesus


Christ- witches hate the gospel and
preachers. I want my readers to remember
that they are of the kingdom of darkness,
and the only thing that threatens darkness is
light. When they are in a church their
principal assignment is to put out the

12
spiritual life in that church. If a new pastor
comes in, they draw close to extinguish him
by whatever means, especially by giving him
gifts, and since most Christians do not know
how to take care of their pastors these men
of God are easily tempted. If they fail they
begin to bear false rumors about him and
most people like to hear something bad about
pastors. The only reason they do this is to
force him out.

2. Anti-prayers- This is like the above.


Witches can not function in a prayer
environment. They can not fly out for their
midnight meetings in their covens. Those who
venture out are in danger of not able to
return. If they can not return to their bodies
they die. If they do not keep contact with
their group over some time they loss their
spiritual power, and that makes their
deliverance easier. I recommend this as a
way to effect the deliverance of a witch that

13
wishes to repent. I wish my readers to see
why some people are always complaining
against noisy prayer warriors. It is true some
prayer warriors are really too noisy, but some
innocent persons do not know why some
neighbors keep encouraging them to hate or
even make war against the praying brother.
She may not go herself but stirs up an
innocent ignorant neighbor, while she laughs
from a corner as the ignorant neighbor fights
for her.

Two testimonies will help us here. While I


lived at a village in Imo State, a pastor who I
know was backslidden came to advice me
against the consequences of keeping too
many night vigils and the side effects of
screaming when I pray. I knew before then
that his wife and daughters were witches and
his miserable spiritual state confirms that.
One day I went around that neighborhood
intentionally announcing to the hearing of

14
this woman and her daughter that I have
declared our neighborhood a no-fly zone for
witches, warning that any one who violated it
will suffer the consequence of death. They
did not take me serious and her daughter
ventured out a week after, she could not
return to her body. She died. Maybe in
retaliation the pastor also died a few months
after. They obviously had been manipulating
him at THE LAND OF TORTURE. I will
explain this term later in the book.

When I came into Port Harcourt my kind


hearted former class teacher helped me get
a house at the house of a woman who claimed
to be a prayer warrior in one of the most
prominent Pentecostal churches in town. She
was told out rightly that I was a pastor but
she did not know what kind of pastor I was.
When my wife and I took authority over the
spiritual atmosphere and blocked all exit
routes, the woman went to my former

15
teacher asking her what kind of pastor I was.
That was how the battle started; she
offered to refund my money and said that I
should pack out of the house within two
weeks. We took the money from her but
made her understand it was not possible for
us to relocate within the set time. To cut the
long story short, we were able to relocate
within three months.

3. Appearance- to be frank with you, it is


difficult to find a beautiful and decent
looking witch or wizard. One may ask, does it
mean that only ugly and poor people are
witches? You see, like I said earlier, to
transform somebody into a witch, the dark
kingdom normally corrupts the original
nature of the person by some devilish means
that may include eating dead rats and
vultures, including drinking human blood. This
is done under a strong atmosphere of
enchantment. This process destroys the

16
original human nature and leaves behind an
evil nature. When this happens, the person
begins to reason upside-down, like we said
earlier. This obviously reflects in the
appearance of the person, no matter how
beautiful or handsome she would have been
before then. Her appetite changes; she would
rather eat human flesh and drink human
blood. Success offends her; she does not
want it for others or herself.

Let me cast a little more light on this


question. There are people who are naturally
ugly but a close look at them will reveal the
beauty of the God-nature they carried.
There are also some people who are naturally
handsome, but you feel something quire about
their appearance. In fact this is a litmus test
for pastors operating by demonic spirits; you
see eyes like those of cats and when they
smile or laugh you just know that the laughter
is not coming from the heart. Funny enough

17
when people go to seek for spiritual help they
rarely give consideration to these issues.

4. Discernment by the Holy Spirit This is the


only hundred percent sure way. Listen to the
Holy Spirit. Any of the above three may fail
but this can not fail. Your human nature will
obviously give you a signal when evil is around,
but unfortunately some people will begin to
reason like this, How can this small girl be a
witch? This is my mother, how can she want to
kill me? This is mostly so when they come as
friends. If you are a believer and there is a
tug in your spirit about some body, pause and
commit the person to prayers. However, note
that witches give dreams to people. At times
you see your pastor chasing you with a
machete in the dream; they obviously sent
the dream to stop you from interacting with
the pastor who may be giving them problems.
Listen to the Holy Spirit, ask him questions
about such a person and if he speaks he will

18
make it clear.

TWO MAIN CATEGORIES OF WITCHES


AND WIZARDS

It is needful to say here that there are those


who are functioning as witches who do not
know they are witches. Like I have always
said that every unbeliever is a potential agent
of darkness. The same way God can call any
believer into the ministry anytime, so the
devil can use any unbeliever.
There are two ways some body can function
as a witch.

1. Those possessed by the spirit of


witchcraft. This person did not intentionally
decide to become a witch but an evil spirit
entered her. She just discovers she is never
happy, she sees herself flying in the dream;
she receives strange visits from snakes, cats,
vultures and all that. When the spirit

19
overcomes her will she see herself do some
very terrible things she would regret later. I
had a girl like that in my church sometime.
When she is sober she can be of great use to
the church, but at bad times she was terrible.
Devil loves to use such people around
inexperienced pastors and to initiate people
through sexual intercourse; they do great
havoc. She does not know why people hate her
and why any man that sleeps with her
becomes miserable or why her children can
never-do-well or why she can not experience
real success. She has gone for deliverance
from spirit husband even though she does not
see herself have sex in the dreams yet no
difference. She wishes to change but can not.
So devil is using her and at the same time
tormenting her. Deliverance for this
category is as easy as any deliverance.
Remember her human nature is still intact;
she is just overshadowed by a demon or
demons. They never got her will and she had

20
not physically tested blood. But understand
that if she does not receive help they will
eventually get her to join them. This happens
in an effort for self identification. She
concludes she is not a normal human being and
sees the evil ones more like herself. The so
called converted witches and wizards are
mainly those in this category.

2. The second is to be consciously initiated


into witchcraft. There are those who on
there own got initiated into witchcraft. They
exercised their will as free moral agents for
whatever reason. Some in search of spiritual
power, some in search of wealth, some for
secret knowledge and it may surprise some
people to know, some for sex. Some people
just wish to be dreaded by people, they want
to have power to control people's lives as
native doctors, fortune tellers, magicians,
etc. It is true to say that the devil will not tell
you the after effect of this so called great

21
power. Some young men who join secret cults
were promised power to disappear, conjure
bullets, and to be able to kill some body by
stabbing a doll; they were never told that
they will amount to nothing in life, there own
children will amount to nothing, and they will
not have anybody rich enough to give them a
befitting burial. Witches and wizards in this
category rarely survive when they are
exposed. Everything that makes them human
has been destroyed, so they die when the evil
nature is destroyed. In our war against
witchcraft this group is our main occupation.

CLASSIFICATION OF WITCHES

White witches: they are found mainly in the


West- Europe and America - and academic
circles. They use their power for creative
things like scientific research, scholarly
development and humanitarian ventures. You
see them in Africa as fortune tellers and

22
medicine men that will not kill people but use
their power to heal people through medicinal
herbs and roots. But when there is war
against the kingdom of light they join force
with their compatriots.

Red witches: this is common among the


occult and those in show business. They are
very deadly and continue to research on new
ways to do the same evil. Whereas white
witches show little or no interest in politics,
red witches take great delight in political
power. They execute ritual murder for those
that want quick money and political power.
They sway great authority in the council of
witches.

Black witches: this is the worst class of


witches; they are not interested in science or
any kind of knowledge, they are generally
illiterates wherever they are in the world.
They are not interested in political power; no

23
leader emerges in any area they have control.
You see total backwardness, poverty,
illiteracy, mad people roaming the streets,
collapse of law and order. All the other
classes of witches hate and avoid them; they
only interact with them when there is evil
works to do. Unfortunately this is the
common class in Nigeria and Africa rural
communities, which is why you see many
people flee from their villages and only visit
at rare occasions. The only thing that
weakens their power is the presence of
praying churches and Christians.

HOW ARE PEOPLE INITIATED INTO
WITCHCRAFT?

W
e will try to explore some
possible ways as this is a kingdom
that continues to research on
ways to enlarge itself. Most of what we have
here are from confessional statements made
by witches.

1. Inheritance -Witchcraft can be


inherited from birth. Mothers who are
witches who do not want to eat their babies
as some of them do- can initiate the child
right from the womb. They take them to
witchcraft meetings; by the age of three the
child is already initiating other children.
These form the bulk of children people
receive as house helps. Some people are

25
always alarmed when their house helps
refuse to go to school and deliberately
destroy things and even venture to kill
children left in their care.

2. Ingestion of foods and herbs. People can


get initiated by sharing in some foods
packaged for the purpose; at times in a
friend's house or as medicinal herbs gotten
from a witch. Do not forget this is forceful
initiation and can be destroyed by mere
prayers because they did not get your will.
However if the victim's spiritual life is weak,
he is in for trouble. He maybe dragged into
witchcraft by the demons and they will
conjure him to their meetings and force him
to be part of them. Resisting them without
the backing of Jesus Christ's power can be
fatal. I advice people to reject any food that
your mind rejects, no matter who served it.
Some who ignored the inner voice have ended
up eating poison or witchcraft.

26
3. Initiation into groups. Some people who
innocently joined some traditional dance
group have discovered that they had join
witchcraft, some who joined some cult group
or drinking clubs, even some secret societies
that have western background. That is why
the bible says that we should not be yoked
with unbelievers (2cor6:14-16).

4. Sexual relationship. Witches and wizards


initiate and control people through sex.
Understand that the bible says that when
people have sex they do not only exchange
blood there is a soul tie or bonding. (1cor6:16).
This permits the witch or wizard to
manipulate the life of the victim and whether
he initiates or destroy the destiny of the
victim depends on the assignment the witch
has at hand. This is also a difficult case as the
principle of willful sexual intercourse makes
it a covenant. Even God will not violate the
terms of a covenant. Some witches have

27
reportedly had sex with Satan and anybody
who sleeps with her is automatically initiated.
Again it depends on the assignment at hand.

5. By choice As weird as it may sound


people can on their own desire to belong to
witchcraft kingdom with light in their head.
They maybe in search of spiritual power or
wealth or adventure. Deliverance for this
kind is almost impossible; it will take God
himself to do it. They must die.

Remember that we are not talking of


witchcraft oppression but initiation. I
struggle to accept the views from some
deliverance schools of thought that assume
that some body can be initiated by other
means than I have stated so far. There must
be a legal ground that makes one bound to the
group. This rule also holds in Christianity.
One is not a Christian until he exercises his
will. He may eat the food of Christians;

28
receive prayer from Christians, live with
Christians and all that. But he is not a
Christian until he by personal choice of will
says YES to Christ. Why? God made man so;
the right to choose whom to serve or where
to belong. Anything less or more than this
lacks legal backing spiritually or otherwise.
The person bound by such is in bondage by
ignorance and can not claim membership
rights.
HOW WITCHES AND WIZARDS
OPERATE

Witchcraft kingdom is notorious for doing


evil, so there can not be an end to the evil
they do. Evil is a normal life style for them
and no normal person who has not been
exposed to their kingdom can imagine how
evil they are (Eph5:12).
1. They drink blood and especially human
blood. Witches are provoked at the sight of
blood. Nurses and doctors who are into

29
witchcraft can intentionally make their
parent bleed. As the parent leaves they try
to lick the blood. Little children deliberately
make their peers bleed with the intent to
suck their blood. Beside this pattern they
keep blood banks in their coven where they
store the blood of those they collected
mysteriously. They may change their forms
to cats, rats, wall geckoes and attack their
victims. At times you hear of parent that
died after chloroquine injection; the truth
may be that a witch near by struck and
sucked the patents blood. They run clinics
with singular motives to trap victims. Some
of such clinics even sell human parts.
2. They attack pregnant women and kill
children in the womb. Besides their desire
for blood, they know this is one way to cause
humankind pain. When an average African
woman can not have fruit of the womb,
manipulating her and her husband to visit
native doctors and spiritists is much easier,

30
even for born again Christians(Ps125:3). By
this, torturing them is made possible, and
initiating them or the unborn child is also
easy. The witch doctors among them make
their living through this.
3. Witches have where they call land of
torture; this is where they take pictures,
cloths, locks of hairs, under wears, shoes, etc
of victims. They use these as points of
contact. By diabolic means they can attack
victims to cause failure, disappointment,
miscarriage, barrenness, internal heat and
other mysterious diseases. These are the
origin of sicknesses that have no medical
interpretation.

4 They place curses on people. This is their


primary delight. You do not have to offend
them to deserve their curses. They mobilize
demons to curse people. When a witch
reports you for whatever reason to a coven,
the witches take turns to place curses on

31
their victim. They invoke negative spirits to
bring problems such as poverty, barrenness,
sickness, failure, disappointment, broken
homes etc. like we said earlier they run an
upside-down kingdom. The offence of the
victim may just be that he is generous or
defends the poor. Some parents report
there children to the coven because they
tried to build a house for them. Some lock
their daughters' womb because they want to
marry. One main reason for their success is
because attacks come from very close
persons. One of the pastors in my ministry
said that while he worked in an oil company
and had three cars, a particular old woman
came to ask her for twenty Naira almost on
daily basis, as he goes to work. He later lost
his job, his cars and became poor. The woman
later confessed to witchcraft activities. He
did not know what he knows today.
5. They cast spells on people. Curses are
words spoken to bring about evil and

32
problems in peoples life, just as described
above. Spells are negative influences that
drive them to do harm to themselves or do
things against their will. Things like suicide,
murder, rape, sex, stealing, etc. There was
an account of a very successful business man
in the Western part of Nigeria who just went
into his shop and committed suicide. There
was another account of a Youngman who
raped his grand mother to death. When he
recovered from the spell he could not bear
the thought, he committed suicide. Married
women had been dragged by a spell to have
sex with native doctors. When they recover
from the spell they can not understand why
they did such thing. Many people have
wondered why decent women go to have sex
with prophets of prayer houses. The truth is
that those women were under a spell.
Roadside frauds employ this medium to
manipulate their victims.
6. Rob people of their original destinies.

33
Many have been shocked to see a once
brilliant child turn to a never-do-well.
Beautiful young ladies have stayed beyond
marriageable age without marriage proposals.
This is the principal thing they do in their
covens. Some one may ask Why? That is
because they are evil. Most people you see on
the streets were made so by witches and
wizards. They make people poor and
frustrated, and they on their own will not
prosper.
7. They cause accidents. By casting spells or
dropping some invisible magical materials
they cause motor accidents. Some so called
collapse of buildings is caused by this kingdom
of darkness.
8. They pollute. Witches know very well
that demons and they cannot operate in
spiritually clean environments, so they try to
defile people and their homes. They do this by
intentionally bringing unclean thoughts and
attitudes into the believer's life. They can

34
tell you something about somebody that will
fill you with anger and bitterness. They may
give a gift to a believer which origin is of the
devil. Some of these things are deliberately
sold in the market. Ones house help who has
witchcraft background can bring such things
from the village. The sin of incest is one of
their most powerful defilers. At times ones
mother or very close relative can lure him into
sexual sin, they at times use spells to achieve
this. Most ignorant Christians allow their
minds to be laden with guilt and condemnation
instead of repenting and pleading the blood of
Jesus Christ. There was this account of a
Youngman who was going through difficult
times in his business. The cause of his
problems was uncovered, through prayers and
eventual confession of the human instrument
that was used to pollute his life and destiny,
who happened to be his stepsister. She
confessed as follows; His stepmother wanted
to attack his business some years ago but

35
found no operational grounds. What she did
was to send her daughter to visit him at
Onitsha. He lived in a single room. At night a
strange feeling overcame them and they had
sex. Eighteen years had elapsed when this
was discovered. His business had completely
collapsed, the step mother was dead and the
step sister was facing horrible times in her
own marriage. This is one of such examples.

There can not be an end to the kind of


negative things this group does. I do not want
to waste time describing how they do such
things as it will profit us nothing. Our
interest as Christians should be how to resist
their operations and in case of a successful
attack what to do. This is the area we are
going to now.

36
INDICATIONS OF WITCHCRAFT
OPPRESSION

The family:- Nightmarish dreams, children


scream from their dreams, masquerade or
dogs chasing one in the dream, confusion or
lack of peace in the home for no just cause.
No agreement between members of the
family. Strange voices or noise in the home,
strange occurrences like blood splashing on
the wall, waking up from sleep to find ones
body marked. Pressing experiences as one
sleeps. Hardship before any success can be
made, children showing some queer
characters, sickness of strange source,
premature death, can't receive favor from
even members of the same family, visit of
strange animals like owls, bats, cats, rats at
strange times. This may mean that a witch is
living in your house.

Children:- Lying of the alarming rate; note

37
that most children lie and talk too much. You
will need to monitor closely to know
witchcraft. Getting involved in sexual sin, and
also involving others of very underage,
stealing, destroying things in the home,
desire to kill or harm animals like butterfly. I
mean there are animals children naturally love
to play with. High handed wickedness; they
can strike their peers so hard to cause a
permanent damage without remorse, refuse
to be useful at home or even to themselves.
They refuse to eat:- note again that children,
especially girls at a particular age find it
difficult to eat but watch and see if it is
consistent.

In personal life:- I mentioned most signs


earlier but watch your dreams closely. Do you
see yourself attending meetings and eating in
the dreams or having sex in the dream? Those
who are into witchcraft know it; this is for
those who have been initiated unawares.

38
When I was a child, a woman in my yard then
tried to initiate me by calling up my spirit, but
by divine providence she could not call me out
of the room. When she persisted, she
suddenly fell ill and died. I did not know that
God had the plan that I will serve him as a
preacher today.

HOW TO LIVE ABOVE WITCHCRAFT
ATTACKS

T
here has been heated arguments as
to if a good spirit filled Christian can
suffer witchcraft attack. It is funny
to even consider such question. The bible
says that they must gather or in NIV
language, attack (Isaiah 54:15). The Lord
dissociates himself from the attack and in
verse 17 he says that the attack will not
succeed, because he says in verse 16 that he
did not give them enough wisdom to produce a
weapon that can harm the believer. This is a
sure promise from God, but reserved for the
servants of the Lord of host. He did not make
this promise to church goers or believers
who had no commitment to God's course. So,

40
how do we live above witchcraft attacks?

1. You must genuinely give your life to


Christ. Most so called Christians who are
complaining of witchcraft harassments
have not really given their lives to Christ.
They join one Church for joining sake. May
be their parents worship there, or their
husbands are dragging them to church.
Some go to a particular church because
they give financial assistance to their
members. They are not baptized by
immersion; they even question some
doctrines of the church. Such persons are
not Christians. Witches and demons know
genuine believers and respect them.
These false believers are those always
afraid of being initiated into witchcraft
through food or otherwise. No genuine
believer can suddenly become a witch
because she is under a stronger covenant.
To be initiated means to be brought into a

41
covenant of membership.
2. You must have a viable prayer life.
Remember that witches and wizards are
enemy forces who keep looking for
opportunity to attack their enemies. They
are resisted only through a fervent prayer
life. I wish to humbly confess that at this
my level in the prayer ministry, witches
still try to attack me. To be attacked is
one thing but for the attack to succeed is
the sign of spiritual weakness.
3. Be led by the Holy Spirit (Roman 8:14). Do
not take decisions out of sympathy or
common sense. At times somebody gives
you a gift and there is a check inside of
your inner man not to accept it; then don't!
You may be like me who like to bring in
strangers. But if the Holy Spirit warns
that you must not receive a particular one,
just stop there. Don't yield to sympathy
even if your wife or mother is involved. You
may be playing with the children and the

42
Holy Spirit commands you to take time out
immediately to pray, obey him. May be you
are at your normal morning devotion and
the Lord urges you to pray a bit longer,
obey him. Many have opened the door to
witches and wizards by ignoring the Holy
Spirit.
4. Learn to keep night vigil in your house as
often as possible. I don't tend to
subscribe to the opinions of those who say
we must keep vigil and function as spiritual
police men to keep witches out. That will
make your Christian walk a punishment;
there are angels God placed on duty to
protect his children(Ps34:7). You don't
have to take over there job. Few people
like me have this grace to keep vigil almost
every night; it is more of the gift of grace.
If you keep vigil every night you may not be
able to work. Plan your vigils to help you
carry on by day. Two hours a night is
commendable.

43
5. Unforgiveness and sin can be a breeding
place for demons that will open doors to
witches. When there is no peace between
husband and wife prayers are hindered,
the Holy Spirit is grieved, hence the home
is defiled. Witches and demons can freely
attack (1Peter3:7).
6. Raise altars in your home where prayers
are made always, where possible hold
neighborhood bible study or house
fellowship in your home.
7. Declare a no-fly zone over your house
every night. You will know to do this
through the prayer topics at the end of
this book.
8. Learn to plead the blood of Jesus Christ
over your family, your home, your business
place; your children, etc. Do it as often as
possible.
9. Be a soul winner, which places God under
strong obligation to command his angels to
watch over us and family. That is how

44
people like me are surviving. I can not pray
enough to protect my family. As I serve
him, he keeps me.
10. Join a prayer cell. Here you will learn to
pray and do warfare. If you do not have
one in your local church, look for a group of
brethren around you and join them. Some
ministers work as lone rangers, but there
are days you return from a program tired
and fagged out. This is one of the main
reasons you need a prayer team to belong.
Demons and witches like to attack you in
your vulnerable moments.

WHAT MUST NOT BE DONE IN CASE OF


AN ATTACK

I wish to state that once one survives a


witchcraft attack, the attacker is often the
first person to recommend a solution. And
the recommendation is geared to take you to
one of their partners and in the process

45
enmesh the victim into greater problem. Lets
say you wake up from sleep with marks
lacerating your body. A neighbor comes in
screaming, and says, “Ah-ah, Mr. G, what is
that? This is very serious. You must do
something about this. There is one medicine
man I know that handles this kind of thing.”
Wrong steps can worsen the state of an
attack, so be careful.

(a) Native doctors:- In many parts of


Africa, like Guinea, Ghana etc, native
doctors are actually called witch doctors.
They are Satan's agents. That is why
believers are against the present day
trado-medicine, because they are carried
out mainly by witch doctors. God created
the roots and herbs but these men and
women are devil's agents. Do not ever go to
them for help, they will worsen the
problem. Initially you will feel you got help,
only to see greater trouble after. The

46
principal duty of these ones is to initiate
the victim or help speed their destruction
if they are marked for death.

(b) White garment churches:- These may


call the name of Jesus but they are
generally of the Devil. I wish to confess
that most of them have taken off the
white garment to parade as Pentecostals.
God will help us.

(c) Indian magic:- These often operate on


roadsides in urban centres, claiming to
have great power to give one good luck,
success and promotion. They are witches
and wizards. The reader should know that
witches have what is called coven. This is
where they go to discuss their
programmes by night or day. This is where
they meet themselves and discuss how to
use their evil network to check their
victims. Avoid them completely they can

47
not help.

(d) Fortune Tellers or Medium:- Quite


often when you come in they just call your
name and tell you your problem, this is
because they are privy to the root of your
problem. Avoid them, they can not help.
Again there are churches pioneered by
these messengers of darkness, they tell
you what will happen tomorrow but do not
teach the bible or encourage you to turn
from sin. They do not have what it takes to
solve your problems. In my last visit to
Ghana I saw many churches headed by
these messengers of the devil.

(e) Physical Aggression:- Some go to attack


the suspected witch physically. This is
dangerous, it may be a child but spiritually
she is stronger than you and collaborates
with some evil spirits. Some after beating
or fighting them develop swollen hands.

48
Some pregnant women had miscarriage. Do
not fight physically (11 Cor. 10:4-5). If you
succeed to kill or physically impair the
witch, the government will not understand
your reasons.

(f) Compromise:- In some areas; some body


comes in and says, “Come let us go and beg
her, if you will bring this and do so and so, I
will help you” or “The reason he is
attacking you is this, so do this”.
Remember I told you that what you call
evil is what devil's agents call “good”.
When you are doing your best to bring
peace, you are actually offending the
witch. This may not be expressed
physically but will be used to condemn you
in the coven.

(g) Fear:- Do not fear them. Even if you


are not born again, all you need to do is to
look for a genuine servant of God around.

49
If you can reach deliverance minister all
the best. Witches have a network; running
from place to place will worsen your
problem. They have a mark for every one
they wish to kill. I lament again that some
of their agents parade as deliverance
ministers in Pentecostal regalia.

WHAT MUST BE DONE IN CASE OF


AN ATTACK

To be candid, there are occasions one just


suffers an attack for no just cause. Witches
are enemy forces that are of the kingdom of
darkness and their primary assignment is to
harm children of God and human beings at
large. One needs to know what to do.

(a) Pray immediately:- If there is a mark or


open wound, plead the blood of Jesus over
the wound and rebuke every poisoning-
Witches are like mosquitoes, they do not

50
only suck blood but also poison their
victim. Unfortunately many still do not
know spiritual warfare prayers, as not
every kind of prayers affect the kingdom
of darkness. I have written some at the
end of this book. Do well to use them.

(b) Call a Pastor or Christian who


understands spiritual warfare. Not every
believer does. Some out of ignorance will
make you feel stupid even when you know
what you are going through.

(c) If born again, detect the open door and


close it. There must be an open door
before they can successfully attack a
believer. Either sin or not praying as one
ought to. A brother went to the village and
decided to join some unbelievers in
drinking and after neglected his midnight
prayers. The witches almost ate him up

51
that night. Unforgiveness and bitterness
can open doors for witches, more
effectively than stealing and fornication.
Withdraw immediately from possible open
doors to attacks.

(d) Night vigils really disturb witches and


wizards but if you are still young in the
Lord, invite some Christian prayer
partners. In fact, it will help if you let
spiritual warfare ministers visit your
home for prayers and deliverance
periodically. It is commonly observed that
witches in the neighborhood do
everything to stop people from praying.
They say all kinds of negative things
against praying Christians. At times they
carry rumors and encourage people to
hate them. Some ignorant people who do
not know their reasons may support them.

52
That is why the child of God should not bow
to pressures to give up praying, if the
problem becomes praying out loud, ask God
for grace to lower your voice.

(e) Fellowship with a ministry that


understands deliverance and spiritual
warfare. Most holiness Churches tend to
look on this area with contempt and their
suffering members wander to danger
zones when they have need. We believe
God to open their eyes. Make sure that the
fellowship you attend give teachings based
on scriptures. Do not identify with
ministries who teach unbiblical patterns.
All you need to be totally delivered is
stated in the bible. Do not let anybody cut
your body, take you to the burial ground,
bathe you with anti-evil attack soap or oil
whether by day or night, have access to
your private part, etc. Do not accept to

53
make special sacrifices to any spirits. At
the name of Jesus Christ they must bow.
Anybody suggesting anything else is a
servant of the devil.

54
Confronting Witchcraft in the Neighborhood

5
FIGHTING WITCHCRAFT
Submit yourself then to God
Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7
(a) Submit to God:- The first step in
fighting witchcraft is to submit oneself to
God, not the reverse and this cannot be
over emphasized. The main reason there
are so many causalities in spiritual warfare
is that those who fight would not submit to
the power that will give them victory.
Witches and wizards are the Devil's
organized land army, controlled by one of
Devil's most faithful alley, Beelzebub, a
very wicked spirit.

Except one is born again, there is no hope of

55
waging a victorious war against the power
of witchcraft. Not just confessing Christ
but surrendering your total life to him,
that is when you can resist him.
(b) Resist the Devil:- Unfortunately some
deliverance Ministers who do not
understand this statement have altered it
with “Smite the Devil” and so they try to
do it alone. The term “resist” here is a
military term connoting that one needs to
mobilize the forces of light against the
forces of darkness, and when the Devil
sees this he flees. That is why it first said;
submit to God; because you can not
mobilize heaven's army, if you do not
submit to God. It is same for the natural
armed-forces “Beat a soldier, face an
invasion”. This means you do not fight
alone. That is when where one worships
and fellowships with other brethren
matters.
(c) Environment:- The environment for

56
spiritual warfare is very important. Many
people go for deliverance and return to a
vulnerable environment. I have stated how
to create the environment earlier.
(i) Fellowship:- I said that earlier, contact
the right people.
(ii) Family altar:- Make sure you hold family
devotion in your house every morning and
pray every night as a family before you go
to bed. Invite some deliverance Ministers
to hold prayers on your parlour on weekly
bases.
(iii) Personal devotion:-There are daily
devotional materials that help you read
bible on daily bases. “Daily Guide” by the
Scripture Union will be wonderful.
(iv) Warfare prayers: - This you will know
as you fellowship with other believers,
though I have a good collection of prayers
in this book. Plead the blood of Jesus over
yourself and family every night-at least
seven times before you sleep. Plead Holy

57
Ghost Fire also and confess the word of
God. Example Isaiah 54:17, Isaiah 8:10,
Phil. 2:9-11, Psalm 43:3 etc.

CHILD WITCHCRAFT

This is one of Devil's most potent


instruments, as children look harmless and
adults do not expect any attacks from them.
In Owerri a girl of about eight years held the
breath of a baby until it stopped breathing, it
was a doctor that discovered the child was
suffocated. There are two instances
children below ten years put babies in the
refrigerator, the one of Onitsha survived,
the one at Benin died. Cases abound where
children monitor their mistresses to cause
miscarriage. A girl of eleven confessed she
bound her father's income in the witches
coven, no matter how he struggled he could
not account for his money. A girl of about
sixteen confessed they bound her father on

58
the bed for about ten years and when they
were satisfied they killed him. Child witches
destroy valuable properties, speak lies that
cause problem between husband and wife,
steal at alarming rates and introduce under
age children to sexual immorality, stealing,
killing, cultism and all kinds of evil. When a
child around you likes to make other children
bleed, it is a possible sign of witchcraft.

Witchcraft is a complex thing, and we can't


explain it all. Child witches on assignment
first come as very good and obedient children
but before long they start their operation.

WHAT CAN LEAD A CHILD TO


WITCHCRAFT?
(a) Maltreating children:- This is especially
true of children living as house helps. Many
mistresses are always brutal to their
helps. They starve them, deny them good
clothes and punish them like slaves. As

59
this children get embittered and they
think of vengeance there are always some
agents of darkness to initiate them. The
power of witchcraft helps them to
retaliate effectively. There was a case of
a man who raped his house help and
threatened to beat her if she told her
mistress and still treat her like a slave,
calling her bad names and rapes her at will.
This girl got initiated and with voodoo
power rendered him prostrate and later
killed him.
(b) Background:- Children whose parents
are witches or wizards pick the spirit.
Always be careful about background of
the child you bring into your home.
(c) Evil neighbors:- Witches have a very
near perfect network. They are every
where and try at the slightest opportunity
to initiate a victim.

60
PATTERN OF CHILD INITIATION
Mainly by giving food items to the child. What
the child sees as food is actually a charm that
will allow them invoke the child's soul at will.
At times they make an open offer to the
child, promising to give her power to punish
their enemies. A maltreated child finds this
attractive.

FIGHTING CHILD WITCHCRAFT


Same as every kind of witchcraft, though if it
is your child you have big trouble as you can't
send her away. The Devil exchanges the soul
of the child, so when you are appealing to him
or her with good points, they are actually evil
before him or her.

The first assignment is to take her to a


deliverance minister who will pray for her and
try to make him/her to confess and renounce.
Even though this is difficult, the job is half
done when he/she confesses. Seven days of

61
night vigil in the house she sleeps will help a
lot, as this will keep her from attending
meetings, within this period she should be
ministered to in prayers and the word of God.
This will destroy her ability to communicate
with other witches and reform the defiled
mind. Monitor her closely to see whether she
is responding.

THINGS THAT MUST NOT BE DONE

(a) Calling the child bad names and beating


her. Remember it is a spiritual matter.
(b) Some people just take the child to a
deliverance service and then no more.
This may even worsen matters. (Luke
11:24-25)

One needs a lot of patience in dealing with


witches coming for deliverance as they lie a
lot and quite often seek to deceive you to
believe you are making a success when

62
actually you are on the wrong trail. But with
the hot prayer environment she will bow.
Sorry to say that a lot of them die
immediately after.

Most of the audio cassettes by professing


witches who have repented are loaded with
lies. If the child demands to go do not
delay her.

PERSONAL DELIVERANCE FROM


WITCHCRAFT
It is needful to state that some people were
initiated into witchcraft against their will.
The following steps will help such:
(a) Visit a deliverance minister who
understands witchcraft and confess to
him. Please if you are talking to him and he
appears to lack enough knowledge to help
you, pray to God any way you know and he
will lead you to somebody that will help
you. God delights in your deliverance and

63
has men prepared for it.
(b) Born again:- We have talked about this
matter.
(c) Immersion baptism:- I have seen many
delivered by this neglected Bible
principle. Jesus said that people should be
baptized when they receive Christ, men
say “No”. They want to be careful that
wicked men do not come and kill God in
heaven. (Read my book, “How to be
delivered and remain delivered”)
(d) Join a ministry that understands and have
time for your problem. Many established
ministries don't.
(e) Read your Bible and good Christian
literature always and back it up with
prayers.
(f) Be committed:- It will be wonderful if
you can join the prayer cell. That will help
you grow up spiritually to resist the Devil.
(g) Look for one or two prayer partners.
This will help strengthen your prayer life.

64
(h) Holy communion:- Administering the
Lord's supper to the client help a lot. Take
note that this should be done to those who
are showing interest to repent and be
delivered. Otherwise it could lead to
judgment or possibly death (1cor11:29-
30).

65
Confronting Witchcraft in the Neighborhood

6
DO WE PRAY FOR THE DEATH
OF WITCHES?

I
n a dispensation when Christians have
lost touch with the heart beat of God
for soul winning, the answer is flatly
“Yes”.
When Jesus said pray for your enemies, I
hear men say we should pray for their death.
That will save us the trouble for soul winning.
Read this passages Matt 5:43-48, Rom
12:14-21.

I would rather ask if witches are in the


categories of those we should forgive and
bless. Though, there are witches and wizards
who have repented with resounding
testimonies like Joshua Balogun, Emmanuel
Omo-Oba- Jesu, Amos Eni, Helen Ukpabio,

66
etc. All these are great servants of God to
day. I strongly believe we should be guided by
the Holy Spirit in this matter. The passages
we read at the beginning of the write-up
portray witches and wizards as enemies of
God and mankind. Before Devil can use a man
or woman in this capacity of destruction,
there is something he must destroy. Once
this is destroyed, what you have is not a
human being but a Satanist and Exodus 22:18
says, you should not allow him or her to live.

Let us remember that we said earlier that


some people were initiated into witchcraft
against their will and may not even know what
their problems are, even though they may
manifest some attributes of witches. Let me
now share this testimony here. A brother
invited me along with two other ministers
from other ministries to help him wage
spiritual warfare against his landlord who he
says was a wizard. The other ministers were

67
in a haste to go into warfare, but I called for
patience so I can ask our host some
questions. I asked to know if he had ever
before then tried to reach the supposed
wizard with the gospel by what ever means.
To this he answered in the negative. I then
warned that if we succeeded in killing this
man it will be by Satan's power as the word of
God is clear that God wants all men to repent
and come to knowledge of the truth(1Tim2:3-
4). The bible also says that we should first
offer people peace before we wage war
against them (Deut 20: 10).

The above instance is an example of many


reasons God would ignore some prayers. God
promised to answer prayers if they agreed
with his will ( 1John 5: 14-15). You will see a
brother who has never given out gospel
tracts to any of his neighbors, strangling
himself in fasting and prayer as he is trying
to hunt down some supposed witches. God

68
knows that these prayers are built on
selfishness and will not be part of such a
venture. Witches and demons know this, so,
they attack people in their dreams wearing
the face of some innocent neighbor. Our
brother launches out into prayer, at times
takes side with the real witch as he fights an
innocent person. This will make the object of
the attack hate believers, this further
advances devil's ministry of hate and
bitterness.

Some say that preaching to them makes no


difference as they will not repent. That is not
your business. You do not have what it takes
to convert any soul. Do your own and leave the
rest to the Holy Spirit. Emmanuel Omo-Oba-
Jesu was converted through this way. He was
a very powerful wizard who confessed of
doing many terrible things. One day he came
home to find a gospel tract slipped into his
room from under his door. Supposing it was

69
magical paper sent to cause harm, he
summoned the sender on his magical mirror.
His intention was to destroy the sender with
his greater power. But Jesus Christ
appeared. What followed led to his
conversion. God has used him to lead many
souls to Christ in Nigeria and beyond.

I agree with warfare against witches and


other Satan's agents, but let us do it with
God's kingdom in focus bearing in mind that
we were once unbelievers. I continue to
lament the flooding of the deliverance and
healing ministry by native doctors and occult
men. These ones were sent in by the devil to
confuse genuine seekers of God and further
ensnare them.

I wish to state here that simply because


somebody is persecuting you does not
warrant you to pray for the persons death (1
John. 5:14). Pray for their repentance and

70
preach to them. Christ came to save not to
destroy. (Luke. 9:51-56). When God's
judgment comes, he will tell you to stop
praying for them. (Jer. 11:14).

CAN BELIEVERS SUFFER ATTACKS FROM


WITCHCRAFT?

The main reason Jesus manifested is to


destroy the works of Satan and Satan comes
to destroy. (1 Jn. 3:8, John 10:10a). It is
kingdom against kingdom. The main enemies
witches fight are Christians. It is when they
can't succeed that they turn to unbelievers
as God's property. You wouldn't even believe
that witches attack animals. They are just
evil.

Many Christians suffer attacks today. Some


quote Isaiah 54:17, which says: - No weapon
forged against you will prevail. (NIV, KJV-
prosper).

71
This is the main problem Christianity has
today. You will see these stickers in beer
parlours, in chalets, in commercial buses that
the driver smokes and drinks to madness.
And they add “Back to Sender”. The same
passage says “This is the heritage
(inheritance) of the servants of the Lord”.

This privilege is reserved for those who have


given their time and life to serve God. Not
only as pastors and deliverance ministers but
lives that reflect the purpose of Christ.

The only way to overcome or resist


witchcraft is by attacking. The promise of
God is that the seed of Abraham shall posses
the gates of the enemy (the devil). If you do
not want to suffer an attack, invade his gates
through evangelism, prayers and Christian
services and Isaiah 54:17 will speak for you.

72
ERRORS IN CONFRONTING WITCHCRAFT
I like to warn my readers that the weapons
of our warfare should never be natural and
the method of our defense can not be
otherwise. I say this because of a lot of
strange teachings going on in the name of
Christian spiritual warfare. I will highlight a
few here.

a. Witches and wizards are likely to pick up


peoples' hairs and use them in their
coven against them, so be careful where
you let your hair drop.
As I stated earlier, there is a level of truth
in this matter, because they are evil and
delight in punishing people. But you will only
fall into their trap of tormenting you with
fear if you succumb and begin to trace every
root of hair from your head. Some for this
reason will not take a hair cut in a barbing
salon or bend down to pick them all up after

73
barbing. This is fear at work and God has not
given us the spirit of fear. (2 Tim.1:6). He
that is in us is greater than he that is in the
world.(1 John 4:4). God's angels are also
there to protect his own. (Psalm 34:7). There
have been testimonies of believers whose
personal effects would not respond to
witchcraft operations or rituals. God did not
leave us at the mercy of Satan and his agents.
Halleluiah!

b .If you walk or run into spider web in the


morning, you are cursed by witches for
bad luck in that day.

I say that it is funny that some men of God


who have put so many years in God's service
teach these things and their followers
believe them. You discover that these people
live in perpetual fear. Webs are spread by an
animal called spider, God created spider as
well as any other animal. If a witch decides to

74
place a curse and spreads it in the form of a
web, no child of God need bother about that
because it is written, for he will command his
angels concerning you to guard you in all
your ways. (Psalm91:11), Device your
strategy, but it will be thwarted; propose
your plan, but it will not stand, for God is
with us. (Isaiah 8:10).

c. Christians should not receive food from


people any how to avoid being initiated.

The only possible chance of being initiated is


if you have not genuinely given your life to
Christ. If you are born again, you are already
God's property.(1Cor.6:19-20). Even the
antichrist cannot put his mark on you and
cannot torment you. You are already initiated
into the kingdom of light. But in a case you
receive a check in your spirit then do not eat.
I mean that Christians should discipline
themselves to heed the Holy Spirit

75
(Rom8:14).
d. Christians should avoid visiting their
villages often to avoid witchcraft
attacks and monitoring.

This is another lie. The earth is the Lord's


and the fullness there of. (Psalm 24:1).
Anywhere you place your feet shall be given
to you for an inheritance.(Joshua1:3). There
is no distance in the spirit. If they can not
attack you in the town they can not attack
you in the village. This teaching has been used
by Satan to keep believers from evangelizing
their villages, thereby losing grounds to the
enemy. If they prove stubborn, lead a
deliverance team there and do it often. They
must bow.

e. Christians should not allow owls, rats,


cats, dogs, etc, around their homes,
because witches use these animals to
attack people.

76
I see this as a matter of choice. Just know
that these are among the many things they
use. If you continue to research, your
catalogue is likely to increase, and then you
will lose your peace as you look out for these
things.

f. You must wake at particular time t o do


warfare or witches will eat you up.

There are two ways to this; if you do warfare


out of faith as a Christian duty, you will enjoy
it and grow spiritually. If you do it out of fear
of witches and wizards, you will lose your
peace and suffer health and mental break
down. The elderly man of God, Don Odunze,
told a story of a young pastor who ignored his
newly married wife to hunt for demons and
witches every night. Thank God for the
timely intervention of the great servant of
God, his marriage would have broken up.

77
Learn to enjoy your prayer life; do not let
witches give you a spiritual assignment.

g. If you live a holy life and do not provoke


witches by calling their names, they will
not disturb you:
Even though this is laughable, this is what
devil wants you to believe. Like earlier said,
witches are evil just because they are evil.
You are safer if you terrorize them through
warfare prayers. Though holiness and
sanctification are forces on their own against
Satan and his agents.

There are many teachings like these in


today's Church, so you will not be surprised to
see a believer binding and casting out demons
from a bottle of soft drink you freely offered
him for his refreshment. The bible says that
even if you drink a deadly thing it will do you
no harm.( Mark 16:18). The Christian has
immunity in Christ Jesus. The problem we

78
have today is that people do not want to make
a heart commitment to Christ. And because
we see them in church we call them
Christians. They still live their old lives, go to
the old places and do the old things; so when
the enemy strikes, he is on the floor. Then
people say that a Christian fell.

Again we must not lose sight of the fact that


most people teaching these things are
Satanists parading as servants of God.
When you stand and say, Prove this point
from the bible. They tell you that the bible is
theory. Moreover, that they are telling you
what they have experienced. I make bold to
state here that no Christian should accept
any teaching opposed to the bible. When you
buy electronics from the shop, you are given
the manual and this is what guides you in
using your new appliances. To ignore the
manual is to endanger the appliances. The
bible is the manual for the Christian faith. To

79
ignore the bible is to endanger your Christian
life. In the world “seeing is believing”; in the
Christian faith “believing is seeing”. Jesus
said to Martha, “Did I not tell you that if you
believed, you will see….” (John11: 40). That
also means that wrong belief can bring
negative manifestation. Believers must learn
to hold to the word of God in matters of
spiritual warfare.
If for any reason the Holy Spirit warns you
of an impending attack, stand there and pray
and after, believe your prayers. If you do not
believe your prayers they will amount to
nothing. It will make no difference if you fast
for forty days and nights. Then you see that
person running from pastor to pastor. I wish
to say that some ministers have not learnt to
test spirits.( 1 John 4:1). Anything they hear
from the spirit realm they attribute to the
Holy Spirit. Some boast that they have so
matured that Satan cannot speak to them.
That is not true. Satan spoke to Jesus, spoke

80
to Peter, spoke to Paul, and you say that you
are too spiritual to hear from him? The
author is witness to hearing devil's voice. It
takes only spiritual sensitivity to escape the
trap.

81
Confronting Witchcraft in the Neighborhood

7
COMMON TERMS USED IN CONFRONTING
WITCHCRAFT
a. Programming: This is scientific
wickedness used on uninformed believers
and unbelievers on torture list. I need to
share a testimony to help here. A sister
approached me after hearing me teach in
one of my conferences on spiritual
warfare. As at the time she was talking to
me, she had fled her home and was going to
work and church from a friend's house.
What was her problem? She used to hear
the sound of pounding footsteps in her
ceiling like those of giant rats or cats.
Then she would rise up and challenge them
in the name of Jesus, send Holy Ghost fire
and thunder. The pounding would cease

82
and then commence again. Fear would then
come over her. This gave her sleepless
nights. She visited pastors who gave her
some prayer topics to use. But the problem
continued. At times they will go for a
break and then return with greater force.
Our sister ran away from her home. The
person we are talking about is a song
leader in her church and a prayer warrior.
After hearing her out, I knew she was
under programming. I asked her what kept
those witches or demons at the roof. She
said she did not know. I told her that it was
because she was stronger than they were
because of the presence of the Holy
Spirit around her. They resorted to what
they did because they knew she did not
know what power she possessed. I asked
her to go back to her house and try to
ignore them and see if they will come down
to attack her. I gave her some bible
passages establishing her ground in Christ

83
(it is attached at the end of this book).
She said that when she ignored them for
two days the noise ceased. Let me repeat
what I told her here, if the noise persists,
they are ordinary animals. Use pesticides.

This is one of the examples of programming.


The singular purpose of programming is to
make you afraid and drive you out of you
faith in God. They know that fear is the
opposite of faith, and opens doors to demons
that will allow them entrance.

Satanic programming can also be a negative


word spoken into the space of time
perhaps a curse- fixed into the air or sun
that must pursue their own fulfillment.
Those who study computers will
understand this better. Spiritual
programming is a course we teach in our
school for deliverance and spiritual
warfare, you can ask for the handout that

84
is if you cannot attend the school.

b. Coven: Coven is the conference place for


witches and wizards. There they meet
with the commanding demon called
Beelzebub. That is where they also place
curses on people. The actual locations of
these covens are not same for all the
places where witches operate. Some use
trees, some market squares in the
midnight and other such places.
c. Land of torture: As the name implies, this
is the torture station of the witches. This
is where they keep pictures and other
belongings of those they are monitoring,
wombs, private parts, hairs, pieces of
cloths, eyeglasses, keys, money gifts, etc.
These items are kept in the land of
torture by witches and wizards, with
curse words spoken over them, to
negatively affect their owners. You will do
well to visit land of torture in your prayers

85
once a week. I also attached the prayer
topics at the end of the book.
d. Monitoring: This is the art of supervising
those in their target list to see that the
curses spoken over them is effected at
the right time or to know the details of
ones life to know what next to do. Demons
are used at times but the main
instruments are evil neighbors. This
sounds a note of warning to women who
gossip their marriages to their neighbors
anyhow. Some people announce their plans
and expected breakthroughs before they
see it. At times a woman who believes God
for fruit of the womb has a neighbor who
keeps prodding to know her ovulation
cycles and every detail of feminine life.
The purpose may be to know when to
attack to keep her from getting pregnant.
These neighbors also serve as satanic
monitors.
e.Token: This means properties and objects

86
used as points of contact to the target;
things like dolls, locks of hairs, under
wears and other personal effects. This
may sound strange to some people;
converted witches give accounts on how
tying a rope to a little piece of dried wood
can strangle a man lying on his bed in a
fenced building. The only security we have
against the works of Satan is the name of
Jesus Christ.
f. Satanic Coding- These are evil marks
witches and wizards place on individuals.
These marks are not visible to the eye,
only they know what they signify. When
witches/ wizards see this marks on a
person they can read it and begin to
execute what it says. At times it means
torture to death, at times hard luck, at
times means to torment with fear, at
times means harassment etc. This is
always at a prominent part of the body,
like the forehead; every witch anywhere

87
can read this code and continue where
others were interrupted. This is one
reason why some victims of witchcraft
attacks have complained that where ever
they go they have the same attacks. It is
because they are carrying a code, so
whether they go to a hospital or native
doctor, any witch will carry on. A code also
allows them to trace the target where
ever they are. That is why victims are
advised to stop running from place to
place. Like I said earlier, fear is one thing
they want you to have; if you are able to
overcome fear you have won your battle.
g. Satanic time table: This is the season set
for problems and attacks in people's lives.
Some women miscarry at three months,
some businesses have problem at a
particular time of the year, and some
suffer witchcraft attacks at given times.
They mark this time at their coven, and a
monitor is sent to supervise it.

88
h. Satanic network: This is a connection of
partners that the satanic agents work
with to achieve their devilish ends. At
times they are human beings in different
places, who receiving the information of
the program and timetable begin to
execute them. It is also a network
between the witchcraft coven and other
witches and satanic groups like the marine
society and occult. There is no lasting
peace within the dark kingdom because
they are always competing for supremacy,
but when there is a common enemy, they
unite to fight. They use this network
mainly against men of God and praying
Churches. This is another area every
prayer warrior should address while in
prayer. They also pass signals as a target
go from prayer house to other arms of
their centers. An example of this is when
Jesus was crossing the waters of
Genessarette; the marine spirits rose to

89
destroy his ship so that he will not deliver
the demoniac. (Mark4:35-41, 5:1-20)
i. Satanic arrow or needle: At times one
notices the feeling of a sharp pin in an area
of the body; if you do not deal with it
immediately it normally leads to more
serious problems. Witches specialize in
this too. This is the origin of sudden heart
attacks and kidney problems. When you go
to the medical laboratory they diagnose
one big grammar or nothing at all. This
diagnosis turns negative immediately
after a hot prayer is said.
j. Satanic caste: At times one feels that his
mind is getting cloudy; what they do is to
use a dark cloth and cover something in
their kingdom that stands as your token,
one stands to notice struggle to reason
properly. This is done mostly to students
and those who need their brain to function
in their offices. Some students become
mad or quit studies.

90
k. Blood bank: This is a storage tank where
witches store human blood that they
gather during their operations.
l. Supervising agent or controller: Over
every area witches and all Satan's agents
have somebody to monitor it and co
ordinate operations. These are the ones
who take new initiates to witch craft
meetings and call for help in case a new
prayerful pastor comes to that area.
There is no hard or easy rule to know her
as witches are experts in keeping secrets.
Only aggressive prayers can expose them.
m.Vexes: Vex is a spirit of anger and
discontentment shot into people's soul
like arrows; they get angry at everything
around them. Some run out of marriages,
some commit suicide, yet others commit
murder. This is an example of the spirit
that controlled Saul, the first king of
Israel.
n. Witchcraft altars: Witches and wizards
keep altars in their homes. If they are
91
living with other members of the dark
kingdom it is located openly, otherwise it
is erected in a hidden place. This is where
they place their magic mirror and other
materials of sorcery and enchantment.
Pictures of their targets, cloths,
complimentary card, money and gifts are
placed here to manipulate and afflict
their owners. It is like a mini-land of
torture. You will do well to address them
in your prayers as you confront
witchcraft in your neighborhood. They
are generally visible to the eye, but very
advanced Satanists have invisible altars.

My reader would have noticed that most


terms we meet here are words we meet in
every day life. Satan and his agents have
counterfeit for every good thing God has
created, that is why the undiscerning always
falls prey to their traps. For those who query
the need for unceasing prayers here is the

92
Confronting Witchcraft in the Neighborhood

8
CHURCHES DEALING WITH
WITCHCRAFT:
answer. We are not contending with one
wicked woman in the neighborhood but an
organized land army with objectives which
includes stopping the Church of Jesus Christ
from marching on.

WHAT I DO IN MY CHURCH
I must confess that I don't assume to be the
highest authority in this field, what I tend to
do here is to share with you what I do in my
church. As you would have discovered or will

93
discover, I believe witches can be delivered
to serve God and live a positive life. This is
principally because I know what it is to be a
sinner. For those who were born as saints
this will sound frivolous. But I do not even
believe any is a believer unless he was first a
sinner. To be a sinner is to serve Satan and
any servant of Satan is no different from a
witch to me. Many believers were so
disobedient that parents gave up on them.
Some preachers today were murderers,
abortionists, adulterers, rapists, addicted
drunkards, prostitutes who intentionally
spread infectious diseases, etc. the bible
says that the sin of disobedience is like the
sin of witchcraft. This belief compels me to
believe that witches can be saved and I
continue to research on ways to bring them
to the point of salvation. Let me add here
that there are different patterns of
evangelism for different categories of
unbelievers. So I think one should be

94
concerned on what is the pattern of
evangelism for witches and wizards. Again I
say that I can not for sure say this way or
that way, but I have evidences to prove that a
witch can become a believer. Joshua Balogun,
Hellen Ukpabio, Emmanuel Omo-Oba-Jesu,
among others are living proofs that witches
and wizards can repent and serve Jesus
Christ. So armed with this evidence I look
forward to see witches converted.
There was this brother who came to me with
his wife who kept falling ill and giving him
problems. Though a struggling man he was
poor and frustrated. He had lost two of his
sons under mysterious circumstances of
infant death. On praying for his wife she
manifested a strong spirit of witchcraft. I
would cast the demon out but they always
came back in less than one week. The Lord
began to compel me to re-baptize them,
though they were members of a very good
Pentecostal church in town, and I have it as a

95
doctrine not to re-baptize believers from
trusted Christian backgrounds. When I
shared my feeling with the husband he said
he was willing to do anything to have a lasting
peace in his home. So I re-baptized them and
at the water front there commanded the
spirit of witchcraft to leave the family alone
and come back no more. It left and never
returned.

I have reports of ministers who command


witches to confess; let me point out here that
I have seen witches confess, but the bible
says we should not allow the devil take
advantage of us. There are three sides of this
that I wish to point out here.

a. Deceiving spirits are talking: I have


encountered in a deliverance session where a
demon takes over the will of the client and
begin to say things. An immature minister
begins to listen to that demon believing the

96
client was talking. We had such experience in
Port Harcourt. The alleged witch later
brought her husband and extended family to
make case at the minister and his church.
Both the husband and the children said that
the woman had never done any of the things
she confessed. In fact some people she said
she killed were still alive. Evil spirits had
hijacked the deliverance session and the
minister did not know it. That is why I advise
ministers not to be in a haste to publish such
confessions. This is one major reason I
handle confessions confidentially. In fact, I
give my clients a deliverance questioner to
fill-out. From this questioner I can assess
the roots that could lead to possible
witchcraft or otherwise.

b. The minister in question has cast satanic


spell on the client to boost his propaganda.
My reader may be shocked to hear this but it
happens. These Satanists I keep complaining

97
about are parading themselves as deliverance
ministers. One sure sign of this is that the
problem in question for which he was invited
remains unresolved. They normally choose
innocent house helps or some suspected
enemy. In this case again the alleged witch
will begin to deny her confessions after. This
is in the same light as those who excavate
charms allegedly buried by enemies. The
truth is that they put those charms there by
their mystic powers. People who fall prey to
this are those who do not want to make a
heart commitment to Christ; they may not
even be born again, because more often than
not, the host is living in sin which this “great
prophet” will not expose. If your heart is
right toward God, the Holy Spirit will warn
you as you come in contact with such people.

c. The confession may be from a real witch.


Here again the enemy plays a game. Please
until a converted witch has stayed among

98
believers for up to three months, his words
can not be trusted. Remember he is coming
from an upside-down kingdom and has a
perverted heart and mind. This is different
from demon possession, try to picture a man
who has been bedridden for eight years who
gets healed in a healing service, do you
expect him to begin to use every part of his
body as somebody who has been healthy? Of
course not! This is one way believers and
especially Full Gospel Business Men
Fellowship has not helped those just coming
out of Satanism. A good number of them fell
shamefully.

Some witches confess and die. These are


those whose confession came as divine
judgment, those who confess as a result of
power encounter with the Holy Spirit's
power always remain alive to declare the work
of God.

99
Do not understand me to mean that witches
should be treated with kid gloves. That is why
I wrote those hot prayer topics for you to use
in warfare prayers. I teach my members to
pray fervently every night. There are some
of my workers who have it as a duty to wake
others for prayers by calling their phone
numbers at midnights. We encourage them by
at times recharging their phones. War
against witchcraft is a serious business in my
church.

I make sure I lay a proper spiritual


foundation for my members by-

a. making sure they have confessed Christ


from their hearts.

b. making sure they are duly baptized by


immersion. (You can order for my book on the
doctrine of baptisms).

100
c. making sure they are baptized in the Holy
Spirit with the outward manifestations of
speaking in tongues.

d. making sure they have a sound bible base


through a balanced bible teaching. I do not
spend all my time talking about demons and
witches. Attached at the end of this book is a
collection of bible scriptures that
establishes your faith in Christ.

f. making sure every member of my church


fill-out a deliverance questioner. This helps
me assess possible open doors to demon or
witchcraft attacks. The deliverance
questioner is also attached to this book.

g. making sure every one of them belong to a


prayer group led by a team leader. It is the
teams leaders that wake them for mid night
prayers.

101
h. making sure I do not neglect my
intercessory function over them. I pray for
them with all my heart and encourage pastors
under me to do the same.
i. making sure I have a Swift Action
Team(SwAT) on stand by. Their duty is to
visit the homes of members and clients
having challenges with witches and demons.
Many have been blessed by their
interventions.
j. making sure I organize periodic
deliverance and spiritual warfare meetings.
Occasionally I invite ministers I trust their
doctrines. Please be careful at this point; one
careless message by a false teacher can
create a problem that can destroy what you
have spent years building.

Having said thus far, it does not mean there


is never an emergency in my church, but when
one arises the Lord has always helped us to
cushion it.

102
GROUP DELIVERANCE FOR CHILDREN.

This is one revelation that I have received


from the Lord that has dramatically helped
my ministry. We run this like normal children
ministry. We gather them together and
shoot a gospel movie for them to keep their
attention and to instruct them. Somebody
serves as a background voice explaining the
movie in the light of the purpose of the
gathering. We use movies based on
witchcraft operations and initiation. Toward
the end of the movie we get them make a
public declaration of faith in Christ, and we
pray for them.

Then the main thing; before this time we


have prepared biscuits and fruit juice upon
which we have showered prayers as a normal
holy communion. We speak on this communion
to neutralize any initiation by the presence

103
of the blood of Jesus Christ. The children are
served this communion and you can be sure
that great testimonies have followed this
fellowship. In one service a girl jumped up to
confess her witchcraft involvement. This can
be done for adults also, but expect vomiting
and all manner of manifestation as is always
common in deliverance ministries.
ANOINTING HOUSES

I pray over olive-oil and ask my members and


clients to anoint their houses with it to
declare their homes a no-fly-zone for
witches and wizards. A woman, who would not
let me rest due to her husband's affair with a
strange woman, got her miracle through this
exercise. Her husband had even impregnated
the woman and was declaring everywhere
that he must marry her. The strange woman
had also been boasting that he had the man's
heart and nothing can challenge the status
quo. I prayed over the anointing oil and asked

104
the sister to anoint the house with it,
commanding the oil to wage war against any
strange woman or influence of witchcraft.
Within two weeks the matter was over. The
pregnancy disappeared and the man
quarreled with the strange woman. Our
sister has had her husband back ever since.

Let me sound a note of warning here. Please


do not buy anything from mystic shops. Just
buy any olive oil from a pharmacy or shop on
the streets and pray over them. It is not the
oil but the prayers made over them in faith.
Mystic shops are occult shops. Most things
sold there are made by occult societies. If
you have opportunity, look at the packets.

VISIT MY ARSENAL

J
oin me now as we visit my arsenal.
These are prayer topics I have used
and taught my members to use. Many
have testified to wonderful results. Take
note that as you start using them the devil
will try to discourage you through fatigue,
distraction, and at times you hear voices
inside of you telling you your prayers are

106
amounting to nothing. At times you receive
threats in your dream that you will die if you
do not stop using the prayer topics. All these
are empty noise from the devil and his agents
whose only agenda is to try to stop you from
disturbing their devilish programs. Joining
these prayers with fasting is very good as it
lends you more spiritual force. You can bring
in a prayer partner if you wish. You may need
to read my book on fasting and prayers.
