FOREWORD

The accounts of all the events recorded in this book are exactly as the author experienced them both physically and spiritually. In other words, it is indeed at true story. The author has decided to change the names of the characters involved as the objective of the book is not to accuse and condemn people, but to expose the evil works of Satan and its demons in our churches especially in this endtime.

The book aims to shed more light on the evil ways through which the devil deceives, seduces, lures, ensnares and entraps unsuspecting Christians using its human agents who pose as men of God. That is why the true identities of the characters involved in this story are irrelevant for they are merely insignificant, tiny, puny puppets of the devil their evil puppet-master. Even if you labeled and ostracized them from Christendom, the devil will still raise up much more of such puppets to take their place in the churches hence we should focus more on how to identify them in our midst as the "wolves" in sheep clothing according to Bible prophecy pertaining to this perilous endtime that we live in today.

What is important is our endtime battle against the Antichrist's deadly devices, wiles and lies of our common enemy, Satan the evil-puppet master whom the Bible say is definitely not flesh and blood.

(...For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places...Ephesians 6:12)

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

...To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen...Romans 16:27

...And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb...Revelation 12:11

HELL'S HOTEL

I a matured man in my thirties, who is a born-again Christian, saved from the kingdom of sin and Satan into the glorious light of the kingdom of God. My autobiography would fit the average sinner's CV and my deep cravings for the material wealth of this fallen world that we live in. While I was generally ignorant of the spiritual world and its ways, I was completely and fully aware of the physical world and the pursuit of material gain and riches. In conclusion, I would classify myself as an individual who has done very nasty things indeed, from armed robbery to fraud; all in the bid to make money.

Thanks to God most high who has found it in His good pleasure to save me from sin and certain damnation in hell fire through our Lord Jesus Christ. After I became born-again, and while still in the United Kingdom,

God revealed to me in various ways that He wanted me to be His minister and also to work in his vineyard in Nigeria. In direct obedience to His instructions, I left London for Lagos in October 2003. With a view to begin to work in the ministry, the good Lord has prepared for me. That is how I came to Lagos and the beginning of my encounter with the Church led by Prophet Josiah (a prophet with an international acclaim for healing and miracles with his church based in Lagos - Ikotun Egbe, Nigeria).

One fateful night after I was about a week in the country, God gave me a revelation that was very strange, disturbing and frightful. **(Psalm 57:4.1.My soul is among lions: I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows...)**. In this revelation, I found myself in an ultra modern Seven-Star hotel. I was in the midst of people of different races and colors. There were blacks, whites, Asians, Arabs, a truly international gathering which could only be matched by a United Nations assembly of delegates. Very prominent among these people was Pastor Christopher (another internationally acclaimed preacher renowned for healing and miracles, with a large following of youths, with the head quarters of his church is also in Lagos - Oregun, Nigeria). He had on a white suit and appeared to be in control of the situation.

On close scrutiny, I realized that he was actually shepherding all these people into some of the rooms in the lobby where we all stood. These people all seemed to be helpless or powerless against Pastor Christopher's efforts to send them into these rooms. As the doors of the rooms were randomly opening and closing I was then able to see what went on in them.

The sight was both appalling and shocking I saw, as the doors opened and closed, strange creatures that had animal heads like that of a lion with human-like bodies covered with brown furry skins. They were all dressed in fanciful bright colored Victorian Costumes of tailcoats, petticoats, frilled collars and cuffs. The prominent thing about them was their fingernails. They were actually long, sharp, talon-like nails. The sort of nails one could identify as vampire-nails as we commonly know from the movies.

As the doors opened and closed I saw horrifying scenes of these human like creatures pouncing on the individuals that had been sent into the rooms by Pastor Christopher. These creatures were either ripping to shreds the skins of these people or sucking their blood vampire style, just like in the movies. So it went on as I caught glimpses of the opening and closing doors. Suddenly, I realized that I was also on this Pastor Christopher's conveyor belt, waiting for my turn to be sent into one of the rooms. I stood there pondering my plight, but helpless like the others to do anything about it. When it got to my turn to be sent into one of the rooms or more appropriate to be offered to these vampire beasts, somehow someone else was sent in instead of me. That's how I escaped!

Then I started to see the people who had been devoured by these creatures coming out of the rooms. I could see ugly and horrible scars criss-crossing their bare bodies, showing where they'd been ripped and sucked. They were really looking like freshly butchered, living carcasses. They came out lamenting bitterly that they've been completely destroyed and devoured by these creatures and did not know what to do.

So I found myself now rallying these people together. Both the devoured and the about to be devoured ones with the evident exception of Pastor Christopher. I started to tell them that we could really come together as one and destroy these creatures. Next thing I knew, we now formed ourselves into a lynch mob and started seeking out these creatures with one intent only: to destroy them!

Suddenly the hunter became the hunted, the predator the prey. As soon as these creatures realized our objectives, they took to flight. They started running from room to room, trying to escape our lynch-mob. We in turn went after them in hot pursuit, from room to room, lobby to lobby and even floor to floor.

The grandeur of this hotel must be stressed, as even the railings on the stairs were all in gold and the floor was completely made with glass. Somehow we had some information that one of them was in a particular room, so we rode down the glass-elevator to the floor on which the room was. As we got to the door, we all bunched together ready to kick in the door, when the door suddenly opened and a black man stepped out of the room. The rest of the people ahead of me tried to edge him out of the way as they saw and perceived him to be human.

They were all focused on attacking these creatures, so seeing the black man, they thought he was also one of us and let him through. As the man got to where I was he was staring straight into my eyes and as I stared right back at him, I instantly knew he was the beast we were looking for. What was strange was that; I knew that he knew that I knew who he really was. As he walked towards me, I prepared to lay hold of him. When he finally got near me, I stood in his way, blocking his path as he made a move to brush past me! There the revelation ended. Then I woke up!

I was very confused indeed and I told the brothers I was staying with about the revelation, but none of us could make any meaning out of it. Now Pastor Christopher was someone I only got to know, from watching his Christian T.V broadcast in my first week on arriving in the country. Prior to then I hadn't the faintest clue who Pastor Christopher was. So I surmised that it might not really be him who the agent of the devil was in the revelation, but that it could also easily had meant someone else. One thing was sure though, whoever that fellow was, he was no doubt a collaborating agent with demons from the pit of hell.

THE PROPHET

Three days after this revelation, we were in the living room of my host, as we started discussing the sorry state of Nigeria as a country teeming with false prophets and prosperity preachers. The name of Prophet Josiah came up and as the brothers in the living room began to talk about him and the many good works and miracles the Lord has been using him to perform, I became very interested in him. They told me how very simple and humble he was; and he did not flout his wealth around, he even fed the poor around him on a day-to-day basis.

They also told me of many miracles of the blind seeing, the cripple walking, the sick healed, the deliverance of those possessed with evil spirits, even pastors from other churches I was told go there to receive Holy Spirit anointing. At this time I was still very new in the country and had never before in my entire life heard of Prophet Josiah, not to talk of his church. Little did I know that in less than a week, I would find myself as a disciple with a close proximity to the inner caucus of the prophet's church.

THE URGE

After digesting all that these Christian brothers had been telling me about Prophet Josiah, I believed them as a result of their conviction and I had a sudden and inexplicable urge to see this prophet whom I deemed to be a man of God of the order of the prophets and apostles of old; if all the things I had heard about him were true. Then I was waiting on the Lord for His instructions and directives as to when and where to start the ministry into which He had called me.

The scripture says that God chooses the location of His church **(Joshua 9:27...and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose...)**. So we should always remember that if we are truly called by God into the ministry **(Hebrews 5:4..And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron...)** , we should always seek God's counsel first before we raise an altar anywhere for the Lord.

Nevertheless, I thought it would be a great privilege and opportunity to train to be a pastor under such a "mighty man of God". That very day, I resolved to try to see Prophet Josiah, by all means and ask him for a chance to be a trainee pastor under him while still waiting on the Lord. With hind-sight, I now know that it was actually Satan the devil that had put that weight on me, as an urge in my heart with the sole purpose of ensnaring me **(lChronicles 21:1....And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel...)**.

THE CONTACT

Early next morning, which was a Thursday, I headed for the church of Prophet Josiah. On that day I was told by one of the ushers to come the next day which was a Friday and also a counseling day for the prophet. I came back the next day and was able to secure a meeting with the prophet later that day. When I got into his office, the simplicity and lack of opulence in his office impressed me, which was to me a sure sign of humility.

When he asked me why I wanted to see him, I told him that God has called me to be a minister of the gospel and I wanted to train under him to become a pastor. Consequently, he asked me if I wanted to be a disciple of Christ in his church; I said yes. He told me to come back the next day at 10 am. I was so elated and excited at the prospects beckoning at **me (Proverbs 14:12...There is a way which seemeth right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death...)**. I really believed that this was truly a divine connection, and that the Lord had arranged it. First of all, the ease with which I was able to see the prophet that same day, though I was in the midst of people who've been trying to see him for days and weeks, even though they've been coming every day but to no avail.

The next day, full of expectations1 I went to the church and saw the prophet. He then told me to go and confess my sins by writing them out on a piece of paper and submitting it to him. I found this strange but considered the scripture that says we should confess our sins to one another **(James 5:16...Confess your faults one to another, ...that ye may be healed...)**.

So I did as I was asked. Shortly afterwards I was ushered back to the prophet's presence. He then asked me when I wanted to start my discipleship and I replied, whenever he wanted me to start. He was pensive for a few moments after which he sighed loudly and told me to bring in my bags and commence my discipleship in the church the next day, which was a Sunday.

Firstly, I was puzzled by that sigh as it sounded like one who had no choice but to agree to a decision he particularly doesn't like and secondly, every time the prophet tried to look me square in the eyes, he could not do so. When addressing me, he was always staring at my 9 o'clock (left side) or 3 o'clock (right side) and never really held my own gaze. Though this mystified me at the time, I found out why later. The scripture tells me that children of light really have the light of God shining in them and the children of darkness cannot behold them **(John 1:5....And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not...)**.

MOVING IN

On Sunday morning I appeared with a carryall bag and walked into the security hut at the church and deposited my bag with them and waited for further directions. I was then told by an usher to buy a videotape for 500 Naira (about $3 US), before I could be permitted to enter into the main church building. When I asked why, I was told that if I did not buy it, I would have to stay outside the church all through the duration of the service. Rather than do that, I decided to buy it. Now that's when I realized that it was compulsory for people to buy these tapes that were being sold at the church entrance if they were to be allowed into the church. Everyone that sat around me in the church had a copy of the prophet's healing and miracles tape.

What was niggling at the back of my mind was the thought that this was a very refined way of asking people to pay a particular fee or gate-fee to enter into the house of God! The scripture says that the house of God is free for all **(Isaiah 56:7...for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people...)**. Matthew chapter 7 verse 20 says that by their fruits you shall know them. In my eagerness and naiveté, I ignored the Holy Spirit's voice of counsel **(Isaiah 30:21...And thine ears shall. hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left...)**.

THE DOUBT

Everything worked out just the way I had envisaged it would. I was in a church I believed to be led by the Holy Spirit and the icing on the cake was that I was under the tutelage of a man whom I perceived to be a true man of God. A man that would not only be my spiritual mentor, but also help me to grow spiritually in Christ. Tell me, what more could an ignorant babe-in-Christ like myself ask for? In that frame of mind, I commenced my first worship day in the church. It went smoothly like a normal Sunday service.

They had a truly international choir and congregation. All these factors helped drive home this perceived truth to me that this was indeed a spirit-filled church. But the question really is this: whose spirit is it? Is it the Spirit of Christ or the spirit of the anti-christ? This very important question sadly and regrettably, did not occur to me then.

The sermon was all right, the word of God was preached and I was completely taken by it all. Now when it came to the deliverance prayers, something within me kicked and rebelled against it. I could not understand all the healing stuff that was going on around me. This question started to well up deep from within me: is this healing and deliverance stuff really from God? I was so confused that I asked the Lord to speak to me about it that very moment as I sat there in the church.

I prayed silently in my heart and asked Him to speak to me using His word (The Holy Bible). I have done this several times in the past and on all occasions, He (Holy Spirit) lead me to a particular page in the Bible and on the same page, a portion of the scriptures would be illuminated to me and there would be a direct message for me pertaining to what I had just asked the Holy Spirit about. I urge to do likewise in order to hear directly from God whenever you really need His counsel.

This time as I opened my Bible, the page that stared back at me was from the Book of Jeremiah, and the portion of the scripture that caught my eye and was illuminated to me was talking about false prophets prophesying lies and deceiving the people. I was so shocked I couldn't believe what I was reading, So I closed the Bible and opened it again and to my consternation, another portion of the Book of Jeremiah stared right back at me, still telling me of the same false prophets. Now I was desperate because all of these were contrary to what I'd believed and perceived to be the truth. So I closed my Bible once again and opened it a third time; Lo and behold Good old Jeremiah was glaring at me, and it was yet a passage different from the last two passages still warning me of false prophets with false visions. There and then, I resolved to tread with extreme caution.

So I started scrutinize all the activities going on around me, trying to see if I could detect a "clean and direct" fraudulent claim of healing and deliverance. To my surprise, I could not see or detect any fake claim of healing, as all those people I saw being healed, were really afflicted with diverse sicknesses and diseases, even in those pre-recorded healing tapes that were also being shown on the numerous l4 inch T.V screens mounted all around the church.

After failing to uncover any scam about fake miracles and healing, I was still uneasy with the whole church experience and the doubt that had crept into my heart just would not bulge. I then told myself that no matter what, the truth will surely come to light **(Luke 12:2...For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.)**.

VOICE OF REASON

Talk about dire straits, I was obviously in one. I wanted so bad to believe that Prophet Josiah was a man of God and on the other hand, my spirit was ministering to me the exact opposite of what my mind was telling me. I began to rationalize and evaluate the entire situation, relying on human wisdom, intelligence and head-knowledge to get at the truth **(Proverb 3:5...Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.")**.

This is a dangerous thing to do because spiritually it means that Satan is beginning to seduce you and if you are not careful you might fall, thinking you know the scriptures too well to ever be deceived **(1 Corinthians 10:12..Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall...)**.

I realized that I desperately wanted proof that all was well and whenever I heard the word preached in the church or in evening classes, I paid close attention to it, seeking to pick out any strange teaching that was contrary to what the scripture was saying. I found none. Then I reasoned within myself that this was not a prosperity preaching church and the prophet was evidently not at all interested in motivational sermons **(1 Corinthians 4:20...For the kingdom of God is not in word; but in power...)** ; but in the manifestation of the power of the Holy Ghost. This was the sole reason I so desperately wanted to believe in the prophet's works for the gospel of Christ. In this frame of mind, I became very susceptible to one of Satan's tried, tested and very successful wiles against Christians **(Ephesians 6:11...that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil...).**

The devil tried to take advantage of me by suggesting to me that the doubt that had crept up within me; was the devil itself trying to prevent me from yielding to the power of the Holy Spirit that was doing such mighty and marvelous works to the glory of God. It (I call the devil "It" because the Bible calls the devil a beast) even went further to make me begin to doubt the scriptural revelation pertaining to this issue that I received on my first Sunday in the church, during the deliverance prayers.

In other words, Satan was now trying to make me doubt the voice of God. We should beware of this particular wile of the devil, because once we begin to doubt God's voice, we sell ourselves over to the devil **(Isaiah 50:1c...Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves...)**. Who can now use it as a wide open doorway to accuse us before God **(Revelation 12:l0b...for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night...)** like it did against Job.

Satan can and will ask God for permission to sift, torment and afflict us as a direct result of our doubting the loud and clear voice of God. Remember Satan did the same thing to Peter **(Luke 22:31...Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat...)**.

Now just because we might be ignorant of all these activities in the spiritual realm like Peter obviously was, does not prevent it from happening, as he regrettably found out when he denied Jesus three times! I honestly believe that if Peter had heeded to the warning of Jesus and humbly sought the counsel of God, he would not have fallen. Instead he was so confident in his own spirituality that he even claimed he was ready to go to jail and even die for Christ...Well, 1 guess we know what happened.

My prayer for all Christians is that like Peter, even when we sometimes fall **(Proverbs 24:16...For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again...)** we shall arise to do more exploits for the Lord **(Micah 7:8...Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise...)**.

To cap it all, Satan suggested that if I yielded to the spirit (that is the controlling spirit in that church), I too would begin to do the same mighty works that the prophet was doing. Then God would now take me out of that church, after receiving the power of anointing to start the ministry that the Lord had revealed to me while I was still in the United Kingdom. You see, that's the devil for you; lies, lies, **lies (John 8:44c...for he is a liar, and father of it..)**. I thank God that I did not fall into that snare of the devil **(1Timothy 3:7b...lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil...)**. Because it would have been a fatal and deadly blow to my faith-life, if the adversary had succeeded in ensnaring me and imparting me with its own spirit which I call the:

Devil's Anointing!

I honestly believe that this is the worst state a Christian can ever be in; when believers think they are serving the Living God, but alas! In reality they are serving the devil. Remember Satan can also pretend to be godly and angelic **(2Corinthians 11:14...And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light...)**.

A deeper understanding of the scripture; **(1Timothy 4:1...in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils...)** shows that when Christians depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, these spirits or demons will then begin to minister to them in dreams, visions, prophesies, revelations and words of knowledge. But in the process make these Christians actually believe that these ministrations are from the Holy Spirit.

Such Christians will now consequently see themselves as spirit-filled Christians, sound in the gospel of Christ and first-class candidates of heaven. But remember what Jesus will tell some believers on the last day who cried out Lord, we prophesied, healed the sick, cast out demons and did many mighty works in your name: **(...I never knew you: depart from me ye that work iniquity....Matthew 7:23).**

My heart goes out to such Christians and I want to advise everyone that reads this book to please do what the Psalmist did. By regularly asking the Lord to reveal to us the true state of our faith-life **(Psalm 139:23-24...Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting...)**. He will definitely reveal it to us if we have departed from the true faith or if we are indeed worshipping Him spirit and in truth as He has commanded **(John 4:24...God is a Spirit: and they that worship worship him in spirit and in truth...).**

ALTAR CALL

Though I was still double-minded, the good Lord in His infinite mercy decided to jolt me back to the truth and He accomplished this in a very direct and uniquely straightforward manner. Before, I used to think about testimonies of Christians talking about hearing the Holy Spirit speaking directly to their spirit, and I often wondered how it felt like. I was soon to find out.

The altar at that church was a place I had always considered a strange place especially because it was meant to have a pool of water beneath a rocklike water fall, from which according to reliable sources, when fully constructed, water will cascade down into a pool behind the altar. Personally, I cannot, understand significance of having a pool of water behind the altar of a church.

Nowhere in the Bible have I heard or seen such a combination. We know that water signifies baptism in the church but if we must now put a pool of water in the church, must it be located directly behind the Altar of God? My own conclusion is this: if this is not a fancy or decorative thing thought up by that church, it must be ominous.

For we are not unaware of the affinity to water of the marine- spirits which operates in some "white garment" wearing churches. A further experience of mine would make this conclusion even more poignant. All these things did not occur to me then as I was bogged down by double-mindedness **(James 1:8...A double minded man is unstable in all his ways...).** So Satan kept turning the screw of lies and deceit on me. I guess my savior Jesus Christ knew that I would soon succumb to Satan and He intervened and acted swiftly to save me from capitulation.

The altar though still under construction, was a place the church members went and knelt to pray as in the case of many other churches. I was told that the prophet had prophesied that any prayer said before that particular altar will surely be answered. Bearing that in mind, I too went for the first time to kneel and pray in front of the altar. No sooner had I knelt down to pray, I heard a very strong, level and authoritative voice in my spirit speaking rather urgently to me saying these words: "Don't pray here", three times. I stopped short! Now there I was kneeling down like everyone else was doing and out of the blue comes such a voice, speaking to me deep down in my heart (that's how it felt like).

After a few seconds of contemplation, I recovered and made a conscious decision not get up instantly, stop short my prayer and leave the altar: but to ask God to sanctify the place I was kneeling with the Blood of Jesus.

After which I finished my prayers and silently vowed never to go there again to pray. This experience of mine was the catalyst to my awakening to the truth of the works of Satan in Prophet Josiah's church **(John 8:32...And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...)**. This is the only reason I'm writing this Book. God wants me to relate my experiences in that particular church to all and sundry. My prayer is that even if it is only one soul that is saved from the clutches of the evil one operating in churches like that as a direct result of reading this book. It was well worth the effort and mission well and truly accomplished! Glory be to God! **(Luke 15:10...there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth...)**

I have not written this book to criticize, condemn and castigate any particular church or its members, but to plead, with those whose worship in such churches in the name of God whom I believe they so love and really want to worship. To meditate on the words of Jesus Christ which says that we sometimes innocently worship other gods out of ignorance **(John 4:22...Ye worship, ye know not what...)**.

As for those seeking miracles, healing, signs and wonders. Please do not because of this begin to fellowship with Satan **(2Corinthians 6:14-15...for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial?...)**.

Listen up brethren, do not think that it doesn't matter whether the person is a true man of God or not, as long as you get your desired result. That could be the worst decision you may ever make in your whole life because you might never ever be able to escape from that snare of the devil again. Know this one thing: Belial the devil can never give you anything for free! Never!

The devil is not really interested in whether you are rich or poor, happy or sad, in sickness or in health, Christian or non-christian. All Satan is interested in, is to make sure you do not go to heaven but perish with it in eternal damnation **(Matthew 25:41...Then shall he say unto them on the left hand, depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels...)**.

Know this now; if it is healing, miracles, signs and wonders you want, Satan will give it to you as long as you remain under it's power and en route on the broad-way to destruction and hell! **(Matthew 7:13...and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat...)**. You see, that's Lucifer for you. But my prayer for you is that you will not perish but have everlasting life in Christ Jesus. Amen!

THE SEARCH

Armed with the knowledge of the truth, I sought to find out who and what was the spirit behind the church. So I went down on my face and cried to my God, having every assurance that He will hear me **(Isaiah 65:24..And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear...)**. The word that came to my heart was that I should fast and pray for three days to give me a revelation of what was going in the church.

So I began to wait on the Lord in prayer, praise & worship, fasting and scripture-study. This to me is what I personally call the "Four Pillars of Christianity".

1. Praying

2. Praise & worship

3. Fasting

4. Scripture-study

They should be the pillars on which every church in general and every Christian in particular must base their faith in Christ Jesus. All four must be complete if we are really to "dig deep" into the rock solid foundation of Jesus Christ **(Luke 6:48...He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock...)**. As we know, Christ is this Rock **(1Corinthians 10:4b...for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ...)**.

When we do this and obey God's commandments and laws, we are then truly worshipping God in spirit and in truth. For all God wants us to do is to seek first His kingdom, and his righteousness and He will give us "all these things" (miracles, healings, signs & wonders, prosperity, success, joy, peace, long-life, you name it) as a bonus. The beauty of it all is that we would not need to ask for it because it is ours by birth-right.

But when we begin to seek "all these things" first, before the kingdom of God and the righteousness of God, we stand a very good chance of falling into the devil's cauldron of false prophets, liars and deceivers. Take for instance the horse and carriage: it's like the futile effort of trying to pull the horse by pulling the carriage, when in reality we should easily pull the horse to pull the carriage.

For more insight to what I'm saying, if we take the horse as the kingdom and righteousness of God, and the carriage as "all these things", we would have a better understanding of our Christian walk on the narrow path to heaven. Remember too that the kingdom and righteousness of God also means "salvation & sanctification". While salvation is to be saved into the kingdom of God, sanctification is to be sinless, blameless, righteous and holy before God in order to enter into the kingdom of God **(1Peter 1:16...Be ye holy; for I am holy...)**.

After our salvation, all we need to do is to actively seek to forsake our sinful ways and nature (which is the process of sanctification) through scripture study **(John 15:3...Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken to you...)** ; which convicts us of sin. Also through the Holy Spirit who helps us in the following ways:

1. Teach us how to forsake our sinful nature **(John 6:45...And they shall all be taught of God...)**.

2. Combats our sinful nature **(Galatians 5:17...For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.)**.

We should note that any doctrine outside the doctrine of salvation and sanctification is definitely not the doctrine of Christ! **(John 4:24....God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth...)**. In this verse; "spirit" refers to the guidance, of the Holy Spirit and "truth" refers to the true doctrine of Christ which teaches that all men should repent so as to be saved (salvation) and forsake their sins (sanctification). Then and only then, can man be reconciled to God and inherit the kingdom of God.

On the third day of my fasting and praying, we the disciples were called for a meeting. This is a regular gathering of all the disciples in the church premises at any given time, or as they put it: "as the spirit leads". We did this almost on a daily basis. As the spirit leads...if you catch my drift. The prophet would call for a meeting at just about anytime he feels like it, regardless what time it was. It could be 2pm or 2am! When he summons us, we disciples are expected to abandon whatever it was we were doing and go to "the upper-room" for the meeting. For us to really understand these meetings, we need to understand who or what an average disciple is in Prophet Josiah's church. When I first arrived at that church, what struck me was the number of foreigners that were in the church I could see lots of Americans, Europeans, Asians, Africans.

THE DISCIPLES

I concluded that it was truly a global church. But something just did not add up. All or rather most of all the foreigners I saw lived in the church premises. While I understand that a lot of them were visitors, they were there for mainly one reason: To see and experience healings, miracles, signs and wonders. I believe in most cases their curiosity was satisfied. But we should also remember this saying that "curiosity kills the cat". From this pool of different nationalities, we had a cadre of disciples. When I was there, the disciples ranged age-wise from teenagers to 50-60 year old men and women both young and old, male and female. Their nationalities though predominantly Nigerians had about 40% of foreigners from countries all over the world.

I believe it is a good thing if Christianity can bring together different people and nationalities under one roof in peace and harmony. But the question is in whose name were we gathered together? The Bible says **: ...Where two or three are "gathered together in my name", there am I...Matthew 18:20!** If we notice, the scripture didn't say "gather together and call my name", rather it says, gathered together "in my name". Well, only God knows all the time when we (Christians) gather together, if we are truly gathered together in His name or not.

What I'm trying to say is this: it is possible that Christians can sometimes think that they are gathered together in God's name, when in truth, they are indeed gathered together in the devil's name. When we do so, the scripture says that God is not there! That is the bottom-line **(1Corinthians 10:21...Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils...)**. Yes indeed God sees, knows and hears such gatherings, but according to His word, His presence is not there!

Whosoever gathers with a man-of-Satan claiming to be a man of God, the scriptures says that such gatherings are an abomination unto God **(Deuteronomy 18:10-12...There shall not be found among you any one... that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD...)**. Furthermore, whether we realize it or not, Satan is the one who sits, lords and presides over such gatherings. This is the truth according to the word of God.

The average disciple in Prophet Josiah's church could easily be an African, American, European, Asian, male, female, black, white, mixed-race, young, old. It's a no limits mix up. They all live in the residential quarters adjacent to the church building. They have come from all parts of the globe as a result of their love for God. They believe that in the prophet's church, they will surely have an encounter with God and receive the anointing of God through the prophet. Most of them I dare say truly believe that the god of prophet Josiah is the Living God. Here we see a classic example of Satan blinding the minds of Christians and taking them captive at will **(2Timothy 2:26...And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captives by him at his will...)**.

The reason Satan can do this to Christians is because they are not grounded in the true doctrine of Christ **(Isaiah 5:13...my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge...)**. The devil continues to hold them captive by preventing them from coming to the knowledge of the truth, which will surely set them free. That is why we see today in many of our churches, the doctrine of salvation and sanctification (the doctrine of Christ) is hardly preached. What they mostly preach about is signs & wonders, miracles, breakthroughs, healing, power and dominion, victory, success, prosperity, power of anointing, blessings, speaking the word. Even a theme as ludicrous as debt cancellation is preached from the pulpit nowadays. Meaning that if you owe debts, come for special prayers and before you know it, your creditors will simply write off your debts for no just cause.

That is why we as children of God should not condemn those who've been conned by such doctrines. But expose such evil doctrines that are contrary to the doctrine of Christ **(Ephesians 5:11...And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them....)** ; and to pray that God in His infinite mercy should break the yoke of Satan in their lives **(Nahum 1:13...For now I will break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder....)**.

THE MEETING

As we received a call for meeting, I went together with other disciples to the upper-room. This was in a building that was directly beside the church. It was a high-rise building (though still under construction). Most of the disciples lived in this building. It had male and female dormitories, family quarters, single rooms etc meant for the foreign guests and the disciples. My best description of this building is at best a makeshift hotel.

We all trooped into the upper-room on the fifth floor, and took seats arranged in a rectangular manner with a sort of aisle in the middle. Some of us sat on the chairs and the younger guys on the floor while we waited for the prophet to arrive. When he did, we got straight down to the agenda of the meeting. Though these meetings as I was made to understand are spirit-led the agenda never changed much all through the time I was there. It is purposed that the meeting is a forum for the disciples to be taught how to evangelize by the calling on just about anyone to give a short but power-packed impromptu message on the gospel of Christ.

It was also an opportunity for the disciples to make reports on the day to day activities of just about anything or anyone to the prophet. Also the prophet used it as a platform to deliver messages and instructions to the disciples. So generally speaking, it was at first glance a cordial, convivial and relaxed atmosphere for us the disciples to spend some quality time with the prophet. On the third day of my waiting on the Lord, it so happened that I was attending a meeting that night. I was still undecided, unconvinced and double-minded about the spirit that was in control in the church.

I was still waiting for God to reveal to me what was going on around me. So I was a lot more attentive and observant than usual in the detail of what I heard and saw around me. At the start of the meeting, the prophet as usual was speaking of the need for the disciples to grow in the faith and be more confident and bold when preaching.

In his trying to articulate his points, he joined his fingers together like one does when one is about to pray. It is a normal and every-day gesture but it triggered a spontaneous reaction in me. In that poise, something clicked in the recess of mind like I've seen something similar before just like deja'vu. Right then and there, it hit me with hurricane force. I then knew the truth! The whole truth and nothing but the absolute truth!

Before going further, I just want to say that, all what I'm saying is neither a figment of my imagination nor a work of fiction, it's a real-life experience of what I saw, heard and witnessed. I have no reason whatsoever to distort the truth neither do I stand to benefit anything from doing so. Moreover, I believe I am obeying the Biblical injunction to speak the truth **(Zechariah 8:16...Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor....)**.

What I'm about to say is open to correction, criticism even outright condemnation, but one thing still stands; this is what I experienced. As the fingertips of the prophet were still clasped together, I saw for the first time the fingernails of the prophet. Every last one of them, from the little finger to the thumb was tapered or trimmed into an arrowhead shape. The best way to describe it is by using our contemporary vampire movies. In which the vampire has long sharp fingernails that look like claws. This was exactly how the prophet's fingernails looked.

The instant I rested my gaze upon it, my mind flashed back to the strange revelation I had shortly before I came to the prophet's church, about vampire spirits in an ultra modern hotel **(see topic: hell's hotel).**

That was the connection! Then I knew that God in His infinite mercy, had revealed everything about Prophet Josiah and his church to me, three days before I even heard of the same Prophet Josiah and then decided to go and see him. The full picture became very clear to me. The ultra modern hotel I saw in the spirit world (I mean in the revelation) was the makeshift hotel or hostel in this physical or natural world that the disciples of Prophet Josiah lived in. It then led me to conclude that the man I saw in the likeness of Pastor Christopher in that revelation was in fact Prophet Josiah!

His mission as revealed in that revelation was to send innocent people to be devoured and destroyed by those resident vampire-spirits or demons. I use the term resident because in the spiritual realm, they all have their own private rooms in the hotel into which the people were sent. So I strongly believe just as in the revelation, these human-like vampire-spirits that I saw dressed in fanciful Victorian style petty-coats with furry animal-like skin and a lion-like head in fact resided in the makeshift hotel or hostel (which indeed is a very grand and elegant hotel in the spirit world) with the members, disciples and guests of the church. There they devour or feed on these people's flesh and blood spiritually.

Just as God had revealed it to me, the people living there are truly from different countries and races. Like they say, this was the bit that broke the camel's back. I now knew two immutable truths: One; Prophet Josiah was definitely using the power of Satan to perform his healing and miracles. Two; very strong evil spirits (demons) that are indeed vampires controls his church. Nothing on earth can make me change my view of this factual spiritual truth. I thank God who opened my eyes to know this truth. I pray that He would also open the eyes of those people that fellowship in that particular church and believe Prophet Josiah (remember that this is not his real name) to be a true man of God. So that they may also know the truth and be set free from the clutches of the evil one. **(Acts 26:18...To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God...)**.

THE CENSORING

When I first got to the church, I was treated with much consideration and even ate out of the prophet's kitchen. But as soon as I knew the truth, I began to notice subtle changes in the attitude of the prophet towards me. First my feeding privilege was cunningly cut off. The free food policy was one that applied to all who lived in the church's premises including the foreign disciples and visitors too. After I was stopped from eating from the prophet's kitchen, 1 was told by the supervisor to go and obtain a food pass similar to what the other disciples had.

But try I as I might, I could not get the decision- makers (from the supervisors to the coordinators) to obtain a food-pass for me. Every time I tried, I hit a stonewall. The only option I was told was to go and see the prophet. I was also not allowed to make calls or contact my friends or family by phone or e-mail even at my own expense. Usually the church would foot the bill for such communication. I was not allowed to contact the outside world and was also not allowed to leave the premises of' the church for any reason at all. I had a funny feeling I was like in a voluntary prison.

It's not that I was forced to stay there, but the church policy was that unnecessary contact with the outside world could hinder spiritual growth. I could not understand how my wanting to contact my own people could hinder my spiritual growth. So I kept pressurizing the supervisors and coordinators for days until they caved in and told me there was nothing they could do about my situation and that I had to see the prophet, because he alone could change it: no one else.

Then it dawned on me that this censorship or restriction policy on food, contact and movement that had been going against me the last few days in fact originated from the prophet himself.

Since it all started when I became aware of the truth, it then led me to believe that the prophet was probably aware that I knew what he too knew. When I requested to see the prophet about these problems, I was advised to wait till the prophet called me. So patience was the key. For one week I was patient and I hoped that if I saw the prophet and talked to him about it, the situation will change. How mistaken I was. Though I saw the prophet regularly on almost daily basis, he simply refused to have a speaking appointment with me. Try as much as I could, they always told me that he would soon see me. Every time I personally asked him for an appointment, he told me he would soon call me up.

It was frustrating and some other disciples that I was a little bit close to found it disturbing and one of them took it upon himself to try to speak to the prophet about it, He thought that it was the fault of the supervisors and the coordinators (who were also disciples) because they were negligent. But I knew better. They were actually following instructions from the prophet, though they tried their best to hide that fact. So for about a week, contrary to the church's policy on feeding their disciples, I was not fed. I had no other choice but to feed myself. That did not bother me much.

What irked me the most was the communication restriction to the outside world. To get around this problem, I decided to find another way of contacting people outside.

So I broke camp rules and started sneaking out after dark to make calls and send e-mails to my people. This proved to be of great assistance to me in the next line of action I was to take. Through email I contacted two of my mentor pastors in U.S and in the U.K, who both advised me that the church was indeed a cult and I should get out of that place immediately.

That became my next pre-occupation. To do so by the front door (walk out) or to leave by the back door (sneak out). Something within me was telling me not to go just yet, but to be praying against the activities of Satan there and to begin to studiously observe the doctrine and practices of the church. Again while I was still mulling over this, I got a straight confirmation from the Holy Spirit. It happened just like in the case of the "Altar Voice". This time it was even more melodramatic.

While I was studying my Bible one cool and breezy afternoon, I was seated on a chair with a table in front of me and my Bible and my notes on top of it. I suddenly felt drowsy and started to doze. Then I heard myself speaking in that semi-conscious mode of being half-asleep and half-awake. What I was actually saying was this: Ephesians Four Fifteen **(Ephesians 4:15)!** I was saying this repeatedly over and over in my sleep and suddenly, I woke up and as I did so, I heard my mouth speaking of its own accord, the same **Ephesians 4:15!**

Though I was surprised to hear myself speaking these words, I was powerless to stop repeating that particular scriptural verse. After a few seconds with all my senses back in control, I now consciously stopped myself from speaking. I instantly opened my Bible and the first line that I read was this: ...But speaking the truth in love...Ephesians 4:15!

This hit me like a bomb! It became apparent to me then and there, that I was there for a purpose. The Lord wanted me to speak out to all (with an attitude of love not of criticism and condemnation), the truth of what Satan was all about in that church led by Prophet Josiah, as well as other such churches that are in the same evil league.

FACT FINDING

(...Ye Shall Know The Truth....)

I decided to embark on a fact-finding mission. My first priority was to begin to ask pointed questions with an aim to finding out more information about the prophet, his origin and background. Most of this information I will hesitate to disclose, as they are personal and I believe he has a right of privacy. But about his ministry, I will freely speak, as that indeed is public domain. My second priority was to check out the practices of the church and see if they measure up to scriptural guidelines. I will start first with the latter.

Attached is a presentation of an actual document I compiled during that week of restriction and censorship. I decided not to edit it before inserting it into this book because it showed my true spiritual and emotional state and also it was a candid compilation of all I'd witnessed while still at that church with no hindsight or retrospective view-point.

YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH

With due respect and honour **(Romans 13:7...Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom is due; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour...)**. Also with a clear and sincere conscience **(Acts 24:16...And herein do I exercise myself to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men...)**. I wish to state in no uncertain terms what I have witnessed in the two weeks of my stay as a disciple of Christ under Prophet Josiah in his global church.

This is not meant as a complaint, protest, criticism or condemnation, it is simply my observations using the scriptures as my final and absolute source of confirmation and clarification. I came to this church with honest and genuine intentions, after putting into deep consideration all I have heard about prophet Josiah. I concluded that if all these things are true, then he must truly be a gift from God to our generation. Knowing that God has called me to be His servant (pastor), I decided that it would be a privilege, honour and a lifetime opportunity to be taught and trained by such an anointed man of God, So I was overjoyed to be given such a wonderful opportunity.

When I came to this church, I was so touched and impressed by the prophet's love, care and generosity towards the poor and needy **(Jeremiah 22:16....He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? Saith the LORD...)**. His simplicity, humility and meekness I believe is a benchmark for Christians all over the world. I even likened him to Moses **(Number 12:3...now the man Moses was very meek, above alt the men which were upon the face of the earth...)**.

Apparently, Prophet Josiah's church doctrine is one of repentance, deliverance, salvation and sanctification; this is the doctrine of Christ **(Matthew 4:17...From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand...).** I then concluded that indeed this is church truly led and controlled by the Holy Spirit and by God's grace I will no doubt grow in spirit and in truth here **(John 4:24...God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth...)**.

It breaks my heart to say this, but the Bible gives me no other option but to speak the truth as I see and perceive it to my neighbor **(Zechariah 8:16...These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor...)**.

Listed below are my observations about the practices of this church. Though I have searched the scriptures in my own limited ability **(Acts 17:11...they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so...)**. I cannot find any scriptural support or backing or even explanation for these practices. But we know that the Holy Spirit of God never operates or acts in any way or manner that is not in line or accordance with the scriptures **(Ezekiel 36:27...I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them...)**.

**1) THE HAND** : the hand motions, which the prophet uses to compel people to move in a manner directed and orchestrated by the prophet, for me has no scriptural bases. The hand according to the scriptures is used for the following:

a. Healing and Working Miracles

* Acts 4:30...by stretching forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus...

* Exodus 14:16...But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it...

b. Anointing and Appointing

* James 5:14...Is any sick, among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the LORD...

* 1Samuel 16:13...Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from the day forward...

c. Laying on of Hands

* Acts 8:17...and they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost...

* 1Timothy 5:22...Lay hands suddenly on no man.

The use of hands as shown by the scriptures is clearly to glorify God and edify the church and not to ridicule people in front of a laughing and excited audience in some kind of show-biz entertainment, as I have witnessed here on many occasions.

**2) THE FOOT-TAP** : the foot which the prophet and the junior prophets use to slightly tap the feet of the people, after which they are now visibly and physically overwhelmed by some unseen force or power, through "that" contact with the foot is again nowhere documented in the scriptures. There are instances where Elijah lay over a dead boy's body **(1Kings 17:21-22...And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD...and the soul of the child came into him again...)**. Elisha also did a similar thing to the Shunamite woman's dead son **(2Kings 4:34-35...and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm...and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes...)**. Isaiah recommended herbal medicine for King Hezekiah's boil **(2Kings 20:7..And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered...)**. Paul also embraced a dead man's corpse **(Acts 20:10 & 12...And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him and they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted...)**.

Jesus Christ even used mud to heal a blind man **(John 9:6-7...he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool...He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing...)**. As we can see, all these cases are the exception and not the rule. It is then inappropriate and unacceptable in the light of the scriptures to now be using the foot to control, subdue or suppress people as a standard rule of practice. If the prophets of old did not do so, the apostles did not do so and our Lord Jesus did not do so, then we should not do so. Whosoever does so is definitely not of God.

**3) CASTING OUT DEMONS / EVIL-SPIRITS** : I am so amazed at the ease and willingness with which demons allow themselves to be cast out without even a whimper, a squirm or a simple protest; not to talk of putting up some kind of resistance. To cap it all, the demons just seem to go out of people instantly and silently.

Christians in active deliverance ministries can testify to the stiff opposition they sometimes face from demons. The stronger the demons, the stiffer the resistance. It is only by the supreme power of the Holy Spirit that these demons /evil spirits are cast out **(lJohn 4:4...greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world...)**. In the process of casting them out, nine times out often, they speak out using the mouth of the their host-person, voicing abusive and hate-filled words to the deliverance ministers.

When Jesus Christ was casting them out, they spoke out a lot of times. Sometimes pleading with him to be cast into pigs **(Matthew 8:31...So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine...)**. At other times Jesus Christ told them to shut up **(Luke 435...And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace and come out of him...)**. Paul had a similar experience **(Acts 16:17...The same followed Paul and us, and cried saying, These men are the servants of the most high God...)**. Not to mention the negative experience of the exorcists,

in the persons of the Seven Sons of Sceva **(Acts 19:15...And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?...)**. But here in this church, what I have witnessed is this: the only ones who speak are the people possessed by the demons. Never have I heard any particular demon / evil-spirit speaking out themselves, while they are being cast out.

This is a direct opposite to similar events that happened in the Bible. Only the power of the Holy Spirit can really cast out demons. The question is, if these demons are not really being cast out, what is happening to them? The only explanation I can come up with is scriptural **(Mark 3:23...How can Satan, cast out Satan?...)**. Which means, since these demons are not really being cast out **(Mark 3:27...No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; then he will spoil his house...)** , then they are merely being "exchanged or traded".

In other words, while a person is apparently being healed of any demonic affliction, the demon / evil spirit responsible for that affliction will now be exchanged or traded with another demon / evil spirit whose intent might be to destroy the person's family / marriage, business, faith in Christ Jesus or whatever. Now we do not need to be a genius to figure out who does all these horse- trading or should I say, "demon-trading"...of course it's the old enemy the devil.

Be not deceived, Satan can not and will not cast itself completely out of you. We see this constantly in people who go to occult priests for one reason or the other, Even if these people receive their "healing" there, they inherit other problems (exchanged / traded demons) and end up running from one occult priest to another. Only Jesus Christ can truly set you free **(John 8:36....If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed...)**.

**4) POWER OF ANOINTING** : This church teaches that you need to wait on the Lord to receive power **(Acts 1:4....wait for the promise of the Father...)**. Before you can go out to witness for Christ with signs and wonders **(Acts 1:8....But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you...)**. They also teach that the anointing of the Holy Spirit must first come upon you, before you are ready. This to me is mis-interpreting the Bible.

Because by so doing, some born-again Christians will not even know if they have the Holy Spirit "indwelling" them and when you begin to think like that, you stand the risk of being seduced by other spirits posing as the Spirit of God **(Ecclesiastes 10:8b....and whoso breaketh an hedge,a serpent shall bite him...)**.

First let us examine some scriptures about this:

a. The day you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior (born again) is the day the Holy Spirit indwells you **(Ephesians 1:13...in whom also, after that ye "believed," ye were "sealed" with that Holy Spirit of promise...)**.

b. If the Holy Spirit does not dwell in you, you are not a child of God **(Romans 8:9...Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his...)**.

c. If you receive Jesus Christ into your heart and life, you automatically become a child of God **(John 1:12...But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God...)**.

What more shall I say, I believe these scriptures speak boldly for themselves, whether you understand them literally or spiritually. When born-again Christians fall prey to such doctrines that tell them to wait for the Holy Spirit before going out to preach, they are in reality denying the presence of God's indwelling Spirit in us. Because we as born-again Christians, have HIM (Holy Spirit) living or dwelling in us already! That's why our body becomes the Temple of God **(1Corinthians 6:19...What! know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is "in" you...)**.

There is a spiritual law in the scriptures which says, if we deny him, he too will deny us **(2Timothy 212b...if we deny him, he also wilt deny us...)**. Now when we as born-again Christians say we do not have the Holy Spirit yet, but we are waiting to receive the Holy Spirit, we truly are denying Him. That's why the serpent can and will bite us, if we break this spiritual law or hedge as stated in Ecclesiastes chapter 10 verse 8b. One of the deadliest ways the serpent bites as regards this is to begin to pose and act as an angel of light to us **(2Corinthians 11:14...And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light...)**.

Making us to believe that the answered prayers, healing, miracles, signs & wonders, prophecies, revelations, words of knowledge, visions, dreams and finally doctrinal interpretations that we then receive from it and its demons are from the Holy Spirit. You see, Satan is a liar, but as far as I'm concerned, this is the "greatest lie" the devil can make you believe as a spirit-filled, born-again Christian.

As regards the power or anointing to witness or evangelize, you already have the Holy Spirit who is "God in Action" **(Zechariah 4:6b...Not by might, not by power, but my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts...)** , dwelling in you, therefore you most assuredly have the power in you. The great commission simply orders you to go teach all nations **(Matthew 28:19...Go ye therefore and teach all nations...)**. The scripture says in: **Acts 1:8...But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me...)**.

As we can see we have this power already because the Holy Ghost was poured out unto all flesh beginning on the day of Pentecost **(Acts 2:17...And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh...[Joel 2:28])**.

That is why the Bible says; when we give our lives to Christ (born-again) we become "re-created" by the Holy Spirit or simply put: God then "pours" His Spirit on us, which empowers us to be Christ-like in nature **(2Corinthians 5:17...if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new...)**.

While the Bible stresses that signs & wonders shall follow them that believe **(Mark 16:17...and these signs shall follow them that "believe...")**. Meaning believers, born-again Christians or children of God. Here the scriptures is not talking about "believe" as in "faith" but believers or rather true followers of Christ Jesus. For the book of Mark chapter 16, verse 15 talks about the great commission too **(...Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature...)**. And verse 16 is talking about those who "believe" this gospel and become born-again Christians **(...He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved...)**. Finally, verse 18 talks about the signs & wonders that shall follow these "believers" **(...They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover...)**.

This scripture has shown that as a believer or truly born-again Christian, you have the power of God to do exploits in you already as you go out to preach the gospel of Christ **(Daniel 11:32b...but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits...)**. Acknowledge this and begin to trust Him **(Proverbs 3:5...trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding...)** , and let Him direct you **(Proverbs 3:6...In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thine paths...)**.

Above all things, obey His commandments in your life **(Isaiah 30:21.And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left...)**. You will then see signs and wonders following you, as you do the will and work of God in your life **(Isaiah 8:18...Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel...)**. Like I said before, the danger in this type of waiting for the anointing, is that it can lead to receiving the devil's anointing from Satan posing as an angel of light.

**5) VOMITING & URINATING**: this is a strange phenomenon as the only thing I could find regarding this in the scriptures, is the epileptic son of the man who approached Jesus for help, because the disciples could not cast out the demon due to its stiff resistance.

When the demon saw Jesus Christ, it made the boy fall down and began to foam in the mouth (epileptic patients sometimes do this when having an attack). Outside this, there is nowhere in the Bible, where people start vomiting collectively after deliverance prayers or whatever kind of prayers.

This is a very common feature in the church. When the so called deliverance prayer commences, you see people bent over, coughing and vomiting blood stained spittle and strange yellow / green substances right there in the church. Followed instantly by camera crews busy recording it and shortly after, the sweepers swoops down on it and cleans it up. When I asked why all this vomiting in the church, I was told that, that was evidence of the sicknesses and diseases and poisons and demonic afflictions coming out.

As if that's not disgusting enough, I also witnessed a woman who squatted and began to urinate right there in front of the church, after the prophet prayed for her. Just imagine that! Especially in a place called the house of God **(Isaiah 56:7...for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people...)**. Such things I believe are found in occult temples, where they give people some concoctions, and they start to vomit or piss out strange things, which are supposed to be poisonous substances placed in the people's bodies through witch-craft or otherwise. Search the scriptures and show me where Jesus Christ, the prophets and the apostles prayed for sick and they started to vomit, spit and piss out strange substances before they received their healing. As for me, this is pure evidence of occult healing.

**6) REPETITIVE PRAYERS** : the deliverance prayer in this church looks to me like a monotonous and repetitive chant. They repeat their words over and over again. Regardless of who is leading the prayers, they just keep using and repeating the same words over and over again. Jesus Christ said that we should not use vain and repetitive words when praying, because this is exactly what the heathen or idol worshipper do **(Matthew 6:7...But when ye pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking...).** To understand this further, examine Hare Krishna, Buddhist, Hindu and occult worshippers when praying.

**7) BIBLE STUDY** : I personally cannot imagine a Sunday Christian fellowship / worship without the Bible being opened, studied and taught. It is good to have Sunday schools, weekday Bible classes. But the Sabbath is a day when the main church congregation should be taught the scripture in depth. The Bible is the word of God and one of the most important feature of a Christian's life is the studying and teaching of the Bible **(Psalm 1:2...in his law doth he meditate day and night...)**.

It should take precedence over any other church activity including healing and deliverance and should not be relegated into an obscure and insignificant corner in a Sunday service.

Remember even Jesus Christ as a boy, long before He started His ministry also went to the temple. Though he did other things, the Bible only mentioned this incident in the life of young Jesus, why? Because he went to the temple and was both hearing and teaching the scriptures **(Luke 2:47... And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers....)**.

When reprimanded by His mother, His answer is a revelation of the importance of scripture study in a proper house of God **(Luke 2:49...wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?...)**. Let me just add that a church being led by the Holy Spirit will always emphasize and encourage Bible study during Sunday service while a church being led by the devil will undermine and discourage it.

**8) GATE-FEE** : I have heard of gate fees for Christian seminars, shows, symposiums, forums etc. But never in my wildest imagination would I have thought this likely, not to talk of witnessing it. As far as I'm concerned, asking worshippers to buy the church's product (video / audio tapes or journals) before being allowed into the house of God is definitely unscriptural **(Isaiah 56:7...mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people...)**.

No matter how they try to mask it, it is asking for a gate-fee; this means no money, no service inside the church. Surely, this is robbing people in the name of God **(Jeremiah 7:11...Is this house, which is called by name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold even I have seen it saith the LORD...)**.

The only parallel I know of in the Bible is when Jesus Christ drove out those that sold and bought in the temple **(Luke 19:45-46...And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought: Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves...)**. Then it was animals for sacrifice and thanksgiving they were selling in the temple, now it's tapes, cd's and journals for sermons and testimonies in the church.

**9) ASTRAL PROJECTIONS** : There is a particular testimony of a woman who lost her handbag with all her valuables in it at the airport. She was brought to see the prophet who promised her that she would get back her lost bag. It is claimed that the prophet later appeared to this lady at her home and presented the missing bag with all the valuables intact to her, and just as suddenly disappeared. Now if this is true, it is pure evidence of occultism. When a human body is in position A, and then is seen or interacted with in position B at the same instant, it is called in the occult realm astral projection.

This also is the same means through which witches and wizards leave their physical bodies at night and go anywhere they choose with their spiritual bodies to carry out their evil acts. People who practice this can be in Lagos physically and then project their spiritual body to be in London and interact there and still be completely aware of what both their physical and spiritual bodies are doing at that particular instant. This is definitely forbidden by God in our lives, regardless whether for good or for evil.

This is why God did not permit Paul to know whether "the man" that was taken up into the third heaven, was taken up in his physical or spiritual body **(2Corinthians 12:2...I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, {whether in the body, I cannot tell: or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;} such an one caught up to the third heaven..)**.

In addition to that, Elisha's spirit was present there when Gehazi was asking Naaman to give him some of the gifts Elisha had previously declined to take. Though the spirit of Elisha saw and heard what was transpiring between Gehazi and Naaman, but God did not allow Elisha's spirit to be physically interacting with either of them **(2Kings 5:26...And he said unto him, Went not my heart [spirit] with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee?...)**.

Only through the control and guidance of the Holy Spirit are we as children of God allowed to go into the spirit realm **(Ezekiel 11:1..Moreover the spirit lifted me up and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house...)**. If we read this passage further we will find that Ezekiel did not physically interact with those 25 men at the door of the gate, but only prophesied against them as the Holy Spirit commanded him **(Ezekiel 11:4....Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man...)**.

Of course with Satan, it's a different ball game. The devil will enable its servants (witches, wizards, marinists & occultists) to astral project their spirits as much as they want because it knows that when humans do that, they are dabbling in abominable acts before the Lord of Hosts **(Deuteronomy 18:10- 12...There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD...)**.

**10) VISIONS AND APPARITIONS** : I have heard of and seen the church members who claim to have seen the apparition of the prophet in their dreams or visions where he spoke or ministered to them. My question is this: if God wants to speak to His children strictly speaking; Prophet Josiah's church members **(Job 33:1416...For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instructions...)** ; must He so rampantly be using the form or apparition of the prophet?

Thereby glorifying man the creature, rather than Himself the Creator **(Romans 1:25...Who changed the truth of God into a lie,, and worshipped and served the creature more than Creator...)**. Yet we know that God will never share His glory with anyone **(Isaiah 42:8...I am the LORD: that is my name and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images...)**.

The scripture tells me of one who likes to hide behind the scenes using the face of men as a mask and be pulling their strings like puppet-master, while letting their human-puppets take the glory namely Satan the devil, the evil one! Remember what it told Jesus Christ? **(Matthew 4:9...All these things [glory] will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me...)**.

You see, Satan cannot come out in public and make Christians openly worship it, because the minute they realize that it's the "Devil Itself" they will definitely flee from it. That's why it does so secretly, using false men of God and false churches of God. There are countless passages in the Bible where God spoke to His children through angels, prophets, dreams and visions. Compare these with the rampant testimonies of the members of the Prophet Josiah's church claims of regularly seeing prophet in their dreams or visions.

**11) DECEITFUL DISCIPLES** : Now this aspect is what baffles me most. Those who are disciples and are close to the prophet can relate to what I'm talking about. The royal law of God is for us to love one another **(James 2:8...If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well...)**. The Bible also says that if you say you love God and hate your brother, you are a liar **(1John 4:20...If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar...)**.

How then can a true man of God be comfortable when his disciples are busy lying and cheating; plotting and scheming against each other; back-biting and slandering themselves; judging and coveting one another's position; seeking to ruin and wreck each other's spiritual growth. You just name it. The list is endless. When you complain about it, you are told it's good to experience these people around you, because it will facilitate your spiritual growth. To me this is pure jazz! How can one grow spiritually in an atmosphere of cloak and daggers, mistrust, distrust, treachery and betrayal? How?

The Bible says that: **...eviI communications corrupts good manners...1Corinthians 15:33)**. Nine times out of ten when a person remains in such a situation, you find yourself sooner or later behaving like them. Yes there will always be people like Judas Iscariot **(Matthew 26:25...Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said...)** ; Gehazi **(2Kings 5:27...The leprosy of Naaman shall cleave unto thee and thy seed for ever...)** ; Ananias & Sapphira **(Acts 5:9...How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the LORD?...)** and Simon the magician **(Acts 8:20...But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money....)** around men of God. One thing is clear though, just like Jesus, Christ, all these holy men of God instead of condoning such people confronted them with their evil acts.

I believe that exposing such attitudes **(Ephesians 5:11...And have, no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them...)** and correcting such people with love can make such people change their ways **(Titus 1:13...This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith...)**. On the contrary, condoning and even encouraging these despicable attitudes can never help these disciples to grow in spirit and in truth. Never! **(Proverbs 2:6...train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it...)**.

The Judases, Simons, Gehazis and the like will always be found in the body of Christ, but as written in the Bible, they are always a minority in the church. Now when you find such people in the majority, especially in the inner caucus of a church; Beware! It means that Satan is in control. Simply speaking, where ten spirit-filled Christians are gathered together, you will find one or two Judases, not eight or nine Judases.

Finally, I honestly want to believe that the power that Prophet Josiah is using is of God. But if this power can so blatantly operate outside the guidelines of the scriptures (The Holy Spirit will never act outside the guidelines of the scriptures), it can only lead me to one very sad and sorrowful conclusion which says that: **...by their fruits, ye shall know them...Matthew 7:20!**

Now if this power is not of Jesus Christ, then it is most assuredly of the anti-christ. My advice to all members and potential members of such churches that the Bible uncompromisingly calls them the **SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN!** This is the Truth: **...Ye worship, ye know not what...John 4:22!**

Just don't believe anything because it feels, looks or sounds right. Test every spirit to be sure it is of God **(1John 4:1...Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world...)**.

**Note** : this is a test only those having the Holy Spirit can pass! When someone who claims to be a Christian can openly confess out loud without any hesitating, dithering, stalling, stuttering, stammering and muting of the all words in the following scriptural statement:

I BELFEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD, IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY COME IN THE FLESH INTO THE WORLD. HE DIED AND RESURRECTED ON THE THIRD DAY, HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN. NOW HE IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER. THIS SAME JESUS CHRIST IS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR! AMEN

(1John 4:3...Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that "Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God": And every spirit that confesseth not that "Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God": and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard and that it should come; and even now already it is in the world...)

When testing people especially pastors you want to be sure are ministering to you with the Spirit of God, either ask them to read this "test-script" out loud or better still, ask them to read out loud and explain to you the meaning of this the portion of the scripture: **1John4:2-3!**

Do not let them know it's a spiritual test, when they're being tested act like you do not fully understand the true interpretation of that scripture and would gladly hear from them how they understand it. Most importantly, watch and listen to them very carefully to see if they will be able to speak out loud these key words in the second verse of 1 John chapter 4: **...JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH!**

This is the crunch of the whole test. If they can say these seven divine words conveniently, comfortably and continuously in a seamless and flawless sentence, then they have the Spirit of Christ in them; but if they tend to stammer it, stutter it, mute it, mumble it, ad-lip it, misquote it, or say incoherent words, or even refuse to say it outright, know then that they have the spirit of the anti-christ in them.

Note: apply this test only to those people who claim to be born-again Christians. Especially any minister of the gospel who claims to be a pastor, evangelist, prophet or apostle of Christ. This little simple but efficient scriptural test may just save you from the pain, agony, grief and destruction of falling into the evil trap and bondage of satanic ministers in the church of Christ.

MEMBER'S TESTIMONIES

This is compilation of testimonies from some members of the prophet's church. Some of these testimonies were a product of sincere one-on-one discussions I had with these people. They are drawn from a pool of junior prophets, disciples, church workers and church members. In other to retain their originality, I intend to portray them in the same way I was told. Listed below are some striking stories I was told. Though I cannot vouch for their veracity and sincerity.

a. Silent Prayer

b. The Disciple's Revelation

c. The Dead Man

e. The Handbag

f. Hitchhike

g. The Gift-car

h. Man-in-the-moon

i. The Sculptor

j. Escort Demons

k. Witch Hunting Meetings

l. The Choirmaster

**a) SILENT PRAYER** : one evening, some of us disciples were gathered together, having a scriptural discussion. We were talking about different types of prayers, when I raised the issue that silent prayer (praying in your heart, without speaking out the words) is the direct "hotline" to God. No one else, whether on earth or in heaven hears it, only God hears it **(1Kings 8:39b...for thou, even thou "only" knowest, the hearts of the children of men...)**.

So I tried to explain to the disciples that when you pray in your heart, only God knows what you've asked Him. Angels do not hear it. The devil and its demons can never hear it. So what the devil and its demons do not hear, they can not know; and what they do not know, they can not do anything about. Furthermore, because they are ignorant of all that you have asked the Father, when He begins to answer your requests, by way of blessings both spiritual and material, these evil beings would not be able to delay, block, impede, or hinder it because they didn't see it coming as they were not aware of it and were not expecting it to come you in the first place **(1Thessalonians 2:18...Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan "hindered" us...)**.

In addition, when you ask God for guidance, directions or a revelation about any problem **(Matthew 2l:22...whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive...)** ; they will not be able to hear it and then try to give you a perverted revelation that is contrary to the revelation that God is trying to communicate to you as they sometimes do. They also try to make you forget a message that God had given you the night before in a dream or vision.

That's why we sometimes wake up trying to remember a dream, that for no reason at all we feel was important. But alas, we cannot remember it. Nine times out of ten, that was a message from God, and because Satan had seen that it would benefit you, attacked you with the spirit of forgetfulness. That's why no matter how hard you try, you still cannot remember it. My advice is this; when you're in such a situation, fight back by rebuking that spirit of forgetfulness in the name of Jesus Christ! Then your memory of the dream or vision will surely come back to you in Jesus name... Amen!

These things are true, and they are spiritual things that Satan would rather we remain ignorant of so that it can continue to whip us black and blue in those aspects of our faith life. We should also note that nothing happens in the physical, without first taking place in the spiritual. The spirit realm controls the physical realm. Therefore whatever you are expecting from God, will first be done by Him in the spirit realm before it is made manifest in the physical realm. So if you are expecting a particular blessing or gift from God, that you've been praying to Him and believing Him for. He has long answered you in the spirit; right from the very first day you asked Him for it **(Isaiah 65:24...before they will call, I will answer and while they are yet speaking, I will hear...)**.

But there is an appointed time for it to be made manifest in the physical. It could be right now (as most of us would prefer), a week later, a month later, a year later or even years later. Remember Daniel's request in Daniel chapter ten?

When the devil hears you praying out loud for any particular favor from God, and it sees that God has answered your request in the spirit realm, this nasty creature will then check to see if you're aware of it or not. If it notices that you're not aware of the answer, because you are not sensitive in the spirit, it will then begin to attack you with the spirits of doubt and impatience, and encourage you to grumble and complain. Before you know it, you have single handedly given Satan the weapons with which to block and hinder your blessings through these sins. Doubt and impatience becomes a wall between you and your blessings while grumbling and complaining cuts you off completely from your blessings **(Jeremiah 5:25...Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you...)**.

Let me break this down a bit. Due to the fact that we have broken this spiritual law in the book of Jeremiah, whether ignorantly or not, the iniquities of doubt and impatience will turn away or delay these blessings and the sins of grumbling and complaining will withhold or cut off these good things. This is Satan's best way of robbing us of our answered prayers and blessings **(John 10:10...The thief cometh not, but for to "steal" to kill and to destroy...)**. Remember Peter was the only man ever to walk on water with Jesus. But when Satan "zapped" the spirit of doubt into him, and he did not rebuke that spirit but allowed the doubt to find a warm and cozy place in his mind. Consequently, he began to sink into the sea; because doubt became a blockade or wall between him and God's favor.

That's why Jesus Christ asked him; "why did you doubt?" **(Matthew 14:31....O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?...)**. When we pray in our heart (silently), we eliminate the factor of Satan messing around with our special requests to our Father, so that we can receive all of His infinite blessings. Another way of defeating the devil in this aspect of our faith life is to continually thank God for answering those special requests we have made to him. By so doing we are acknowledging the scriptural fact that we believe that God has answered our prayers already **(Matthew 2l:22...whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive..)**

When we do this, Satan can no longer have a doorway through which to do anything to delay, hinder or block our God given blessings. I pray that the Holy Spirit will give us the understanding and the ability to apply this in our prayer life **(1Corinthians 2:13...which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual...)**. To my amazement they argued against it and I asked them why, and one of them said to me that the prophet had told them not to be praying in their hearts because if they do so, they will fall asleep during the prayers and their prayers will become meaningless. I Couldn't believe that a man of God could tell his people such a blatant lie of the devil (as at that time, I thought the prophet was a man of God). I even asked the other disciples if what I Just heard was true, I could see from their silence that, that was exactly what they'd been taught.

From the next testimony, we would see the implications of such a doctrine. Undaunted I then asked them about rebuking demons: because I told them that we should always rebuke demons out loud even if we have to whisper it out, they will surely hear because they have very keen and sensitive ears. The same disciple now told me again that they were taught by the prophet to be rebuking demons in their heart! Ha! This was indeed an incredible doctrine.

From my own personal experience in spiritual warfare is that in sleep when I sometimes have attacks, especially when enemies were trying to choke my throat,, I would be saying; Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! But only in my heart and they will still be squeezing my throat. Though they cannot hear it, they nevertheless try to prevent me from speaking out the name of the Lord. But the instant I'm able to say out loud, Jesus! They'll suddenly let go of my neck and flee. Usually I wake up from such attacks right afterwards, knowing that God had just delivered me from the evil hands of the enemy. I tried to explain this to them, telling them that if they rebuke demons silently (in their hearts), these demons will not hear them and their prayer will become harmless empty words to the demons. I called their attention to how Jesus Christ rebuked Satan and it's demons out loud every time. Even Michael the angel rebuked Satan out loud **(Jude 9...the Arch Angel Michael...said, The LORD rebuke thee...)**.

The point I'm stressing is that the prophet was actually teaching his disciples things that will enable Satan to keep tabs on their prayer requests, so that it can monitor them spiritually and when necessary answer their prayers, but cunningly making them believe that the answer had come from God. A typical example of this will be found in the next testimony. In addition, if they pray and rebuke demons silently (in their hearts), these demons can then operate freely around them with impunity and undisrupted. The reality is this: they will be rebuking demons in vain!

**b) THE DISCIPLE'S REVELATION:** there was a particular disciple in the church that I was a bit close to and I longed for him to know the truth about the prophet. But I knew that it would only take the anointing of the Holy Spirit to destroy the yoke of the spirit of blindness the devil had trapped him with **(Isaiah 10:27...and the yoke shal1 be destroyed because of the anointing...)**. So I asked him about the foot tapping I'd previously described in "ye shall know the truth"; he then told me that though it's nowhere to be found in the Bible, he too was initially bothered about it. At this stage I was very hopeful that at last there was some doubt creeping in and that this might be the crack that would send the wall of Satan's dam of lies crashing down. But alas! It was not to be, because he then continued by telling me that when he prayed about it, (out loud I guess), "God" gave him a revelation from the scriptures in: **Luke 10:19...behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions...!** That it only signifies that when you tap people's feet with your foot, you have now put the devil / evil spirits in those people, under your feet where you can now tread and trample all over them. Ha! Ha! Ha!

What a ridiculous revelation! He honestly believed that, that message was from God. This is exactly what the scripture means by saying that Satan poses as an angel of light to deceive and mislead Christians. We can see how the devil twisted the scriptures to deceive that brother. But I thank God that we know all of Satan's wiles as revealed to us through the scriptures **(2Corinthians 2:11...lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices...)**.

Remember Satan did the same to Jesus Christ when it quoted this scripture: **(...for he shall give his angels charge over thee...They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou shall dash thy foot against a stone...Psalm 91:11- 12)** to Jesus Christ. Telling him to jump from the pinnacle of the temple in Jerusalem; and if he truly was the Son of God, no harm will obviously befall him as the scriptures says. We know how Jesus Christ rebuked Satan, telling the devil who He was indeed **(Matthew 4:7..Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God)**.

Let this be an eye opener to those Christians who believe that they have "arrived" and that the devil cannot deceive them. Beware and be warned; the Bible tells us to be vigilant of spiritual over-confidence **(1Corinthians 10:12...let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall...)**.

For when a Christian is spiritually overconfident in these things, nine times out of ten such cases, the devil already has that Christian tied up and locked up in it's wardrobe of hell **(2Tim 2:26.. that they may recover from the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will...)**.

Knowledge of the scripture alone is not enough to escape the snare of the devil, we need to do two things according to the scriptures **(James 4:7...Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee...)**.

Firstly, we must submit to the Almighty Power of the Holy Spirit to guide us **(Isaiah 30:21...And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left...)**. Because one on one, we are no match against the devil; but with the Holy Spirit in us, fighting for us, the devil is no match against us **(lJohn 4:4...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world...)**.

Secondly, it is expedient we must resist the devil of our own free will too. We cannot say because the Holy Spirit is fighting for us, we will rest on our oars (watch out as that is a trick of the devil). Jesus Christ knew the scripture said that of a truth, angels will surely catch him in mid-air if he did jump. But he resisted the devil because he also knew that if he had jumped, he would have obeyed

the devil's prodding to do so. Obedience to the devil means disobedience to God; and disobedience to God means sin! Therefore, if Jesus Christ had jumped just to prove a point (like a lot of us sadly do), He would have sinned. We thank God He did not jump and also had no sin in Him inspite of all the temptations, trials and tribulations He face on earth **(Hebrews 4:15...but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin...)**.

In addition, Jesus Christ resisted Satan from a position of knowledge of His scriptural identity. He told Satan: **(...It is written again, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God...Matthew 4:7)**. Jesus Christ knew He is Lord and God over Satan and reminded the devil of that scriptural truth and fact. We should emulate Jesus Christ, by having a scriptural knowledge of our true identity in Christ Jesus and use that knowledge to resist and whip the devil in all areas of temptations in our faith-life, family, vocation and finances. As the Bible says, it will surely flee! I am eternally grateful to the Holy Spirit of God, because I know for a fact that if He had not guided and directed me, I too would have been ensnared by Satan and woefully trapped in that church like so many others before and after me.

**c) THE DEAD MAN** : this story was told to me by a disciple, and it was about a man from South Africa that was a guest in the church, who out of the blue just collapsed and "died". Everyone started to weep and wail, and an alleged doctor who was in the building as at that time pronounced the man dead. He was "laid in state" for the best part of the day and as a matter of fact, the camera crew was recording this event live. I mean "Real T.V" style. Right from the dying to the lying in state, to the time when the prophet now threw every one out of that room with the exception of the camera crew of course to record the event for TV. I was told that the prophet said a short prayer, sighed and gestured with his hand and the man who was pronounced dead a few hours before, rose from the grave. He was reported to have got up and sat up saying the words: "where am I?

This is a typical example of Satan trying desperately to replicate the miracles of God. We can see the inconsistency in this particular trick when we compare it to the miracles of the dead people raised back to life through the power of the Holy Spirit. Let us examine this carefully; the South African man just suddenly gave up the ghost with no apparent cause of death. Then it also very conveniently happened within the church premises, where no official death certificate could be issued. My own premise which is also open to correction, criticism or condemnation is that all this could have been an elaborate spiritual showbiz trick. Professional artists who perform such tricks in the business are called "Illusionists".

If at all the man did "die", he was overwhelmed by "deep-sleep" inducing demons that can bring to halt a human being's metabolic activity for a short period of time. Hey Presto! Voila! At the right time (when the prophet gestures), they just as suddenly depart from this hapless man. This phenomenon can be better explained by those in the medical field who have come in contact with patients in intensive care, who are presumed dead (stop breathing) and seconds or minutes later come back to life (regain breathing).

Remember Satan does not have the power to raise the truly dead that has already started to stink or decompose like it was with Lazarus whom Jesus Christ raised from the grave in spite of the fact he was dead and buried for four days and his corpse was already decomposing, only God truly has this resurrection power **(Isaiah 42:5b...he [God] that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein...)**. He demonstrated that power when He raised Jesus from the dead.

**d) THE HANDBAG** : a disciple told this story to me. As in other cases, I confirmed it from other sources too. I find it a really strange story and I have earlier referred to it. A woman in the airport had lost her handbag prior to boarding an international flight out of Nigeria. She did not know if it was stolen or lost, the bottom line was she could no longer find it as she got ready for boarding. What made the situation even more messed up was that she had her passport, ticket, cash and other personal effects in it.

So imagine her woes. She was weeping and wailing at the airport when a member of the church approached her out of sympathy. She explained her plight to that person who then encouraged her to go straight to the church and ask to see the prophet. There she will definitely get help. She promptly did this. When she saw the prophet, he told her not to worry but to go home and there she will find her handbag; though she'd lost it at the airport. She obeyed and went home. As soon as she arrived home, she saw the same the prophet who suddenly appeared to her from nowhere; gave her, her bag with all her things complete in it (passport with foreign currency and all). Then just as suddenly, disappeared! Now if that's not strange, I wonder what is. This is evidence of pure occultism or paranormal activity scientifically speaking.

**e) THE HITCH HIKE** : this is the story of a disciple who before he became a disciple was a staunch church member. During one of the weekly fellowships, they closed very late indeed and he could not find any public transport home. He also could not walk, as it was definitely not a walk-able distance, especially at night. So he prayed out according to him, in these words: "the god of Prophet Josiah", please help me to get home tonight'. Then as if in answer to that prayer, a salon car pulled over towards him and the driver leaned over and asked him if he wanted a ride. Gratefully he hopped in. While he and driver were talking, he had niggling thought that he knew the driver, but he just could not put his finger on where and how he knew him.

Finally when they got to his street, he thankfully climbed out of the car and as he slammed the door and waved the driver goodnight, he had a sudden knowledge that the driver had indeed been Prophet Josiah. Though the driver did not look like him, he was 100% sure that the man who had given him a ride home was no doubt the prophet. I cannot figure that out, all I can say is that the disciple looked every inch to me as someone who was indeed telling the truth. As far as I'm concerned, he had no apparent reason to lie to me in what was his personal testimony. Then again, only God knows if it really happened like he said it did. The same disciple also told me that he is working hard to get to that "spiritual level" where he no longer needed to "see" the prophet "physically" when he wanted to see him. Rather he would be able to "meet" with the prophet spiritually, whenever he needed to as is the notably the case with occultists who "meet" themselves spiritually.

**f) THE GIFT CAR:** another church member told this story to me. According to him, he said that he was a living witness to this testimony. There was a certain woman to whom the prophet prophesied to, that as soon as she steps outside the church's premises, that she would meet someone who had something for her. The woman probably did not take it seriously. But as soon as she stepped out of the church, someone offered to give her a ride home. Because the man was a stranger, she declined but at the polite insistence of this stranger, she reluctantly entered the car.

When the man had driven a certain distance, he pulled over and handed the car keys to her, telling that the car now belonged to her; he then vanished from the car without a trace. This woman came right back to the church to give this testimony. The disciple when he heard my doubtful remarks vouched to be a personal witness of this event and it happened just the way he narrated it. Again I'm only repeating what I was told. In my view, anyone can draw their own conclusions as regards receiving such mysterious car as a gift.

**g) MAN IN THE MOON** : one of the church workers engaged in discussions with me about the prophet, affirmed to me that the prophet was not an ordinary man and that he was indeed a spirit being. Intrigued, I asked him why he had this view and what he meant by it. He replied by telling me that he had heard many extraordinary stories about the prophet and what convinced him was the revelation he had about the prophet. He told me that in this revelation, he saw the prophet flying around the full moon. He said he as he watched, the prophet continued to fly round and round the moon in one direction with outstretched arms. That led him to conclude that the prophet of a truth was no ordinary human being. My own conclusion is that, God was revealing to this young Christian (who worked closely with the prophet) the true identity of the prophet. For me, a man flying around a full moon like that sounds diabolical as such flight is synonymous with the folklore & myth of witches flying in the moonlit night sky on a broomstick. But as in many occasions, we disregard God's counsel.

**h) THE SCULPTOR** : all through this memoir, I've tried my best to hide the identities of the people I've interacted with in one way or the other. My purpose is to try to protect them from undue attention or backlash. But in this case, I'm afraid I cannot do so. This is because it is possible that the person I'm referring to could be identified as a sculptor in that church and trying to hide this fact would be impossible. I'm talking about a young man who worked on a particular sculpture that is right in front of that church. The sculpture depicts the very popular scene of the Last Supper from the Bible involving Jesus Christ and his twelve disciples.

I was so impressed by it when I first saw it. Though as at that time, the sculpture was nearing its completion. One didn't have to be a curator to tell it was going to come out as a masterpiece of sorts. I sought out the sculptor to commend him for pulling of such a fine job that looked every bit like a masterpiece to me. He then told me he'd only used cement for the work. I couldn't believe it. So I told him that no professional sculptor would use only that and he told me that he was not a professional and he had never in all his life molded even a cup let alone a stature, not to talk of this "masterpiece".

I simply thought he was only being modest or probably just teasing me, so I gave him a knowing smile to tell him I wasn't fooled. He then repeated to me that in his entire life this was his first and only attempt at sculpturing. That blew me off my feet!

It was like someone after painting a "Picasso" to perfection, would tell you hand-on-heart that he had never lifted a paint brush in his whole life! It was too incredible. So said I, "you've got to explain yourself". Then said he, "Brother, I had a dream..."

In his dream, guess who he saw? Prophet Josiah of course! Who approached him and stretched forth his hand towards him. As he did so, fire came out of the prophet's hand and entered his body. Because of the impact of the fire entering his body, he collapsed. When he regained consciousness, he found himself working on a blackened object. He did not know or understand what he was doing. But the funny thing was that, people who were passing by stopped to admire the work and commended him for such an adorable work.

Then he woke up. Shortly after this dream, it just entered his mind to do the sculpture of a Biblical scene of Jesus Christ and all his disciples, to beautify the church. When he started, he said he really had no idea what he was doing, but gradually he began to understand what he was doing and as the work began to take shape, people started stopping by to admire it and commend him, just like in the dream. I completely believed him and in my ignorance, I told him that it was a special anointing from the Holy Spirit **(Exodus 31:3....And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship...)**.

I even remember naively sharing this very scripture with the sculptor. Now I know better. This too is a typical example of the devil's anointing. If such an anointing is not from God, it is, 100% from the devil. This is a danger Christians are facing today in the end-time, when they begin to run to different prophets and pastors seeking healing, breakthrough, success (professional, academic and vocational) marital bliss, fruit of the womb, prosperity, miracles, power of anointing etc. The Bible calls such pastors, prophets and preachers of such doctrines "enemies of the cross" **(Philippians 3:18-19...For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the "enemies of the cross" of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their "belly," and whose glory is their shame, who mind "earthly things..")**.

Personally, I call such people "belly preachers". Now if we associate ourselves with them, we are liable to be partakers of their evil deeds **(2John 10-11...If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is a partaker of his evil deeds...)**. As Christians, when we go to such people, we stand a risk of losing Christ Jesus in our lives because such people do not preach the doctrine of Christ. The scripture says categorically that if we do not abide in the doctrine of Christ we do not have God **(2John 9...Whosoever nsgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son...)**.

It is only when we (Christians) follow the doctrine of Christ that we have God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It is indeed a sin if we deviate from the sound doctrine of Christ regardless whether we are aware of it or not. The scripture cannot be mistaken **(John 10:35...the scripture cannot be broken...)**. Let us understand one thing, if you stick your finger into fire, it will surely burn you; whether you know it or not. So it is with these things. Like they say, if you want to eat with the devil, use a long spoon. But a long spoon will not save you because you're eating out of the devil's poisoned pot **(1Corinthians l0:21...Ye cannot drink from the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils...)**.

So when you drink from the devil's cup or doctrine, you are liable to receive the devil's anointing **(1Corinthins 10:18...are not they whICh eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar'...)**. Please let us be warned that doctrine is very important in our Christian faith. That is why as Christians we should not rely only on what the preacher says, but we should check the Bible and see if what the preacher is telling us is in line with the Bible **(Acts 17:11...And they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether these things were so...)**.

For those who seek signs & wonders, miracles & healing, listen up! If you receive any healing or miracle that is not from God, know this now that you have been imparted with an anointing that is from Satan. The sole aim of that anointing is to make sure you don't make heaven even when you think you will **(Matthew 7:21...Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven...)**. Let me share with you one absolute truth; Satan's sole aim and purpose in your life is to make sure that you perish with 'It' in the same eternal lake of fire that it knows, it and its demons will soon end up in **(Matthew 25:41...into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels...)**.

The devil is not choosy or fussy about your status. It will take you anyhow you want yourself. Whether you are rich or poor, pastor or prophet, believer or non-believer, healthy or sick, sane or insane the list is endless. The bottom-line is Satan wants to share its apartment in the lake of fire and it will do whatever it takes to ensure that you end up there as well. That is why the devil and its demons relentlessly attack us every waking and sleeping moment of our lives **(Ecclesiastes 8:8c...and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it...)**. As this scripture shows, there is no let up in the battle for eternal life. In this battle Satan never asks for a break, a pause or a truce. Neither should we, because of this factual and truthful statement: Heaven & Hell are Real!

**i) ESCORT DEMONS** : of all the stories and testimonies I heard, this is the most weird and sinister of them all. Once again, I will say that I believe the testimony of this brother to be true as he was only recounting an experience he had, plus he had no reason whatsoever to lie to me. He too is a church worker in the church. He told me that before he joined the church he was wretched and so constantly broke, he could hardly feed himself and he lived in a single room with his brother. One fateful day, he was in the room when his brother opened the door and his brother and a strange young man stepped into the room; He greeted both his brother and the visitor.

Now, his brother was a member of the church while he wasn't. In fact his brother was just coming in from the church fellowship that evening, so he assumed that the stranger or visitor was also his church member. A strange thing then happened next. He asked his brother to arrange for something for the three of them to eat as he was very hungry. To his amazement, his brother was asking him what he meant by the "three of them" seeing there was only the two of them in the room. Then he replied by telling his brother if he had forgotten about his friend he just came into the room with. His brother now turned sharply to him asking him what friend he was talking about.

So he pointed towards where the stranger was standing all the time. Lo and behold! There was no one there. He just couldn't believe his eyes that someone he just saw walk in with his brother whom he even greeted who also greeted and acknowledged him back could just suddenly disappear in the twinkle of an eye. When he explained everything to his brother, his brother told him that he too was astonished when he greeted him like there were more people when in reality, it was just him alone. They then concluded that it must have been a guardian angel of the Lord. (I also came to the same conclusion as I was as at then still ignorant). This experience made him resolve to go and fellowship with his brother in this church led by Prophet Josiah.

He added that on the next fellowship day that he went with his brother to the church. During the service, which was prolonged, he was thirsty so he went to the cafeteria behind the church to get a drink. He ordered for the little cellophane sachet of water (popularly called pure water) sold specially and exclusively by the church. He was about to drink from it when something strange happened to him. As he lifted up the water to his lips, he found himself pirouetting and spinning around with his hand holding the sachet of water high above his head.

He affirmed he was spun around three times by this little cellophane bag of water and he had no choice but to let go of it and it fell to the ground. He was so embarrassed and mystified by his uncanny experiences as regards this church. First the stranger who vanished, now this experience with a little sachet of water (that was practically sold every where in town) that almost made him fall down. He said it all made him to conclude that God was really in that church. That's how he too became a convert and a member of the church.

This is another classic example of how Satan goes about ensnaring souls into its evil kingdom. Please note that when Satan ensnares such souls into its kingdom, it is our duty as Christians to win back such souls to the presence of God, Who will then save these souls into His own Kingdom, That is why the scripture says that: **...he that winneth souls is wise....Proverbs 11:30!**

Here we can see very heavy demonic activity involved in the entrapment of this brother into the "SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN". That mysterious guest was definitely not a guardian angel of God, but rather an escort demon. The cellophane sachet of water was evidently very heavily infested with demons, hence the spinning experience this brother had. When demons are so actively involved in the recruiting of members into a particular church, it leads me to one ominous conclusion: in the kingdom of Satan, this particular church led by Prophet Josiah has indeed a special satanic status above other such satanic churches; and to use the prophet's own words, "Synagogue Church is an Uncommon Church".

WITCH HUNTING MEETINGS

Like I earlier described, the meetings are simply a platform on which the prophet tests his disciples to see if they are indeed up to scratch and at the same time the disciples get a chance to make reports about the day to day activities in the church. I did not elaborate on these two issues but now I will. Let's take the first bit. When the prophet speaks to the disciples during the meetings, it's evident that the prophet expects a certain standard of preaching ability from his top disciples who would in due time be promoted to the level of junior prophets. What struck me most as odd was the ambition of people you could clearly see do not have the calling of God to become men and women of God **(Hebrews 5:4...And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron...)**.

I can't help giving them a capital "T" for trying because of their striving and toiling to become preachers though failing woefully. You see, God alone chooses His prophets **(Numbers 12:6...If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream...)**. Which means we cannot choose ourselves no matter how sincere and genuine our intentions are, we'll be taking on an uphill task if we think we can be true apostles, prophets, evangelists, preachers, pastors and the like.

This is a high calling of God **(Philippians 3:14...I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ...)** ; it's not a career choice thing. You don't choose to become a pastor, evangelist or prophet the way you choose to become a lawyer, doctor, driver or nurse etc. These professions you study or learn them and when you qualify, you become a professional. The calling of God is different. First of all, when God calls you, He has prepared for you a particular ministry, secondly He will also prepare (teach and train) you for that particular ministry **(John 6:45...It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God...)**.Look in the scriptures to see and you will find that God never had a prophet who ever volunteered to be one.

It is not written in the Bible that a man actually approached God and offered his services to Him to be His prophet. Rather what is always written is that God personally chose or called HIS own prophets by Himself regardless whether they wanted to or not. Whosoever chooses himself or herself to be a prophet of God is in danger of living in open rebellion against the will of God for their lives and this sin of rebellion is the same as the sin of witchcraft **(1Samuel 15:23...For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft...)**.

God has a purpose and a plan for each and every one of us **(Jeremiah 29:11...I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end...)**.

It is absolutely necessary that if we do not know what God's plan is for us is, we should ask Him to reveal it to us **(Jeremiah 33:3...call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not...)**. My advice to every Christian is this. If you know that God has called you into the ministry, please do not resist, simply obey. Because if you resist (remember Jonah?) the end will be disastrous! On the other hand, please do not aspire to be a pastor, evangelist, prophet or apostle if you know in your heart of hearts that God has not called you. The end is likewise disastrous!

For the fact that God has not called you, He will definitely not empower and anoint you no matter how dedicated and diligent you might be in the ministry. If you now want the anointing of God, by all means, you'll become fodder for a ravenous beast called Satan. For the devil will no doubt try to give you its own anointing through one means or the other. Before you know it, you might find yourself doing mighty works for the kingdom of God as perceived by you, but the truth is that you're actually doing these mighty works for the kingdom of Satan.

Let me stress this further, search the scriptures and show me how many prophets and apostles of God that fell completely from the grace of God. I remember Jonah (but he repented). The disobedient prophet that was killed by a lion, but he too did not fall completely from grace because the old prophet in his eulogy still proclaimed him to be a true man of God **(1Kings13:31....When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulcher wherein the man of God is buried...)**.

Solomon sins were forgiven him as God had promised even before he was born **(2Samuel 7:14-15...I be his father, and he shall be my. If he commit iniquity, I Will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men. But my mercy shall not depart away from him...)**. Though David fell, he never fell completely from grace and he repented time and again **(Proverbs 24:6...For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again...)**. We should not forget that just as God punished the disobedient prophet for his disobedience so also was David punished several times for his numerous sins. Because God corrects those He holds dear to His heart **(Hebrews 12:6...whom the Lord loveteth, he chasteneth...)**.

The same thing happened father Abraham who lied about his wife being his sister because he was afraid. Imagine the pain and agony Abraham must have gone through as a direct result of that lie. He was forced to see his own beloved and beautiful wife Sarah, twice become another man's wife. I believe that Abraham must have repented and cried unto the Lord for help. That's why God plagued Pharaoh **(Gen 27:17...the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife...)** ; and told him to return Abraham's wife back to him.

We should not forget a similar incident with Abimelech in Genesis chapter 20. The fact that Sarah was indeed Abraham's half sister was no excuse for Abraham to actually lie especially to the extent of losing his wife. I guess he preferred to lose his beautiful wife rather than lose his precious head lest he was killed. Of course Abraham at that time was still a babe in the Lord. But he grew in the Lord to become the father of faith (remember his willingness to sacrifice Isaac).

The lesson we should draw from this is that from Genesis to Revelation, from Noah to Paul it is not recorded that a true prophet of God ever fell completely from the grace of God. The scriptures say, that when a righteous man falls, he shall arise **(Micah 7:8...when I fall, I shall arise...)**. Those prophets of God in the Bible that fell from grace always rose up again. Some might want to argue that King Saul was a prophet of God. Though he prophesied in some occasions, the scripture is absolutely clear about him being strictly a king and not a prophet **(1Samuel 10:11...is Saul also among the prophets?...)**.

Unlike Samuel the prophet before him and King David after him, he was merely a king and not a prophet or man of God. That is why he too was able to fall completely from grace just like many other kings of Israel and Judah did, though they were also anointed by God to be kings. Looking at the scriptures we can find a clear distinction between two types of prophets. Those that the word of God calls "the prophets, the priests and the pastors" and those that the word of God calls; "My prophet, MY servant, man of God, servant of the Lord and apostle of Christ".

You see even God, in the Bible has distinguished his prophets from the prophets of Baal. My own conclusion is this. Any man of God that falls completely from grace was evidently not called by God. It may sound crass, but this is the truth! **(Jer 1:5...before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest - forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations...)**.

The second main agenda in the meeting is for the disciples to report anything or anyone to the prophet. It's a time for betrayals, backstabbing, names calling, score settling, mud-slinging, grime smearing, character assassinating and dirty campaigns. In two words "witch-hunting". Here we see disciples with a grudge or a vendetta, going after another disciple's jugular if he or she makes a mistake. When a disciple reports another disciple for one fault or another, you will see other disciples now speaking against the unfortunate disciple and hounding that disciple like pack of hungry wolves baying for blood.

In one such meeting, the victim, a poor: hapless female who was torn apart by the wolf pack, could not take it anymore. She actually packed her bags and limped out of the church premises the next morning, probably licking the bleeding wounds in her heart as she left (thank God she did!). During the "witch-hunt", forgiveness is a strange and unknown word in the disciples' dictionary. All they want is to see each other fall from position and authority in the church so that they can now usurp that particular place or position. Talk about dirty politics, that's child's play for these disciples. Now while all this was going on, I was like; I thought we were supposed to love one another, especially when we claim ourselves to be Disciples of Christ.

The opposite is the case here. I guess I can confidently say that the whole package of discipleship in that church is not to be Disciples of Christ, but disciples of Prophet Josiah! All those guys (disciples) do out there, is kiss Prophet Josiah's backside till kingdom come. It's so bad, that I believe those guys or dare I say "diss-ciples" are prepared to sell their mom in order to gain favor from the prophet.

The prophet from my own reckoning supports and even encourages it. This is definitely not an atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to move with power and anointing **(Acts 2:1....And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place...)**. Bearing in mind that the Bible says not to grieve the Holy Spirit **(Eph 4:30....And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God...)**. I cannot believe that such an atmosphere of hate, mistrust, distrust, gossip, grudge, malice, back-biting, hypocrisy, slander, covetousness, and lies in the inner-caucus of that church will be a conducive place for our Great Comforter to dwell comfortably.

THE CHOIRMASTER

There was a meeting in which a tape was played to use in instructing us. The contents of that tape gave me a chilling insight of just what the devil's anointing was all about. The prophet called us for a meeting and showed us the video tape of a branch church in Ghana. In it was a man I did not know but all the other disciples knew him pretty well and even called him "choirmaster". Apparently, he was sent to Ghana a week or two before to minister there. What I saw him do while watching the videotape, was incredible. Not only myself, but the whole disciples in the room as I perceived thought the same and such did not expect of him.

In a nutshell, he was doing the same things that the prophet was doing. The sick were being healed, and people were tossed, pushed, shoved and knocked down by some unseen force. You could see from the choirmaster's countenance that he was having the time of his life. He was basking in the power he had over this people and was busy going about from one person to another shouting Holy Ghost fire and will stretch out his hand towards them and instantly the people will fall or start screaming out loud:

"Fire is burning me". Then the choirmaster will begin to guffaw, Ha! Ha! Ha!

The prophet told us that the choirmaster confessed to him on phone that, whenever he stretched forth his hand towards someone, he will instantly feel some kind of wind or breeze coming from behind him and blowing towards that person. Instantly, the person will fall down or be healed or be cured or whatever. Everyone was amazed at the things the choirmaster was doing; no one expected him to be able to do these things, because he was, as they put it, too carnal and very spiritually weak in the disciples' cadre.

After the prophet had sent such an unlikely candidate in spite of the presence of the junior prophets, and that person was obviously able to do the same mighty works that the prophet was doing. The other disciples now believed that they too can receive the same anointing to preach the gospel, heal the sick, work miracles and do signs and wonders. **The devil's anointing!**

THE DEVIL'S ANOINTING

The devil's anointing is a phrase that we will not directly find written in the scriptures, but a very close study of some scriptures will reveal to us that indeed if we fellowship with the devil, we run the risk of receiving the devil's anointing or a "lying spirit" from Satan **(1Kings 22:22...I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets...)**. This is a typical scriptural example of the devil's anointing. Let us break down this portion of the scripture properly. Starting from 1Kings chapter 22 verse 1 to 18 we see two types of kings (or Christians); the one who wants to hear the words that are pleasing to his ears King Ahab of Israel: **(verse 3...Know ye not that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the King of Syria?...)** and another who really wants to hear the true word of God and seek the counsel of the Lord before doing anything. King Jehoshaphat of Judah: **(verse 5...Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD today...).**

We also see those whom the Bible calls "the prophets" **(verse 6a...Then the King of Israel gathered "the prophets" together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?..)** ; who always make sweet, nice and beautiful prophecies to gullible Christians about their prosperity and success twisting the word of God to back it up **(verse 6b...And they said ,Go up, for the LORD shall deliver it to the hand of the king...)**.

King Jehoshaphat discerned that these 400 men were not true men of God **(verse 7..And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?...)**. So we see from his diplomatic question that there are also those whom the Bible calls the prophet of the Lord. In Biblical times, the false prophets always out numbered the true prophets as it was in the case of Micaiah the prophet of the Lord and the prophets (1 to 400), remember also Elijah the prophet of the Lord and the prophets of Baal(1 to 400). Even in our present time it will still be the same, as well as in the future.

There is nothing new in this world we live in; whatever happens now, has happened before either physically or spiritually **(Ecclesiastes 1:9...there is no new thing under the sun)**. From verses 19 to 23, we have here an insight of the Throne of Grace **(verse 19...I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left...)**.

God then asks, who will go and cause King Ahab to be destroyed no one volunteered to personally go from amongst the angelic host of heaven standing beside God, but a spirit or demon did **(verse 21...And there came forth a spirit and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him...)**. It obviously came from somewhere which was evidently not from heaven because as at that time, "all" the host of heaven were standing on either side of God. If this spirit was one of the heavenly hosts, the scriptures would have said something like this: "And an angel of the Lord or one of the host of heaven came forth and stood before the Lord".

We know from the next verse the origin of this spirit, when God now asks this spirit how he intends to destroy Ahab, he replies, **(verse 22..I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of "all" his prophets...)** You see, this spirit identifies himself as a liar and we know who the father of lies is **(John 8:44...for he is a liar and the father of it...)**. As the scriptures shows, the lying spirit (devil's anointing) is a demon out of the pit of hell, sent by the devil to deceive Christians.

Note that this spirit is not the devil itself, because if it was, the scriptures would have said so **(Job 1:6...Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them...)**. One more important point to note is this: when Satan gives you this anointing, it will succeed in destroying you if God permits it as in the case of a wicked, stubborn and evil king like Ahab the husband of Jezebel. Who continued to disobey, rebel and fight against God **(verse 22c...and he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth and do so...)**.

This is the worst state a Christian can ever be in; when God washes His hands off you and hands you over to the devil for destruction **(Romans 11:22...Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God...)**. Be warned! If it happened to King Ahab then, it can happen to us today, if we remain in wed-lock with the wicked spirit of Jezebel that is operating in many churches today, working to seduce and deceive Christians into the kingdom of Satan. This is how the scripture summarizes it: **(verse 23...the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee...)**. As the scripture has shown, God will never impose evil on any one. Let no one say that it was God that put the lying spirit in the mouths of the prophets. Because the evil that befalls us, is as a direct consequence or result of our previous actions **(James l:13-14...Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed...)**.

Simply put, if those 400 prophets were not called by God, they had no business calling themselves prophets of God. Thereby leaving themselves open and vulnerable to Satan to impart into them the lying spirit (devil's anointing). Secondly, if King Ahab was not married to the wicked queen Jezebel and heeded continually her satanic counsel instead of the Lord's counsel, he would not have fallen into that position where God now permits his destruction here on earth and also in eternity.

The people we see openly operating with the anointing of the devil are people like; juju or voodoo priests, witch-doctors, occultists, witches or wizards, marine or mermaid spirits, seances, diviners, sorcerers, necromancers exorcists, astrologers, palmists, seers and forecasters, werewolves and vampires hypnotists and meditation gurus, magicians and illusionists etc. The Lord calls all these things an abomination to Him **(Deuteronomy 18:10-l2...There shall not be found among you any one that . . .useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a Wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD...)**.

Now we know that Satan can pose as an angel of light **(2Corinthians 11:14...And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light...)**. The scripture also reveals that the same people who claim to be Christians but are servants of the devil will also pose as servants of God **(2Corinthians 11:13....For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ...)**. Such people have indeed certain powers. Whether it is the power to prophesy, heal, work miracles, do signs & wonders, see visions and receive revelations. This is what I call the "devil's anointing". This other kind is, not as obvious as the previously listed anointing. Which I believe is clear enough for Christians to see, the second one is the most deadly of them all for Christians.

Note that this particular one is the one that Satan has tried it's best to conceal from the knowledge of Christians right through the ages, It's one of Satan's surest and best ways of sending Christians in droves to hell. Please whosoever is reading this now, let him hear this **(Revelation 2:7...He that hath an ear, let him hear...)**. It is possible for Satan to take over your spiritual life, growth and fellowship with Christ Jesus! The question that should be screaming to be asked now I guess is, how? The answer is definitely not guess work.

Because it is the truth as revealed by the Spirit of God through the word of God. You see when we come across false prophets operating with the anointing or power from that loathed creature Satan the devil. There is a danger of us, as a direct result of our fellowshipping with them, to becoming a partaker of their evil deeds **(2John 11....For he that biddeth him God speed is a partaker of his evil deeds....).**

Remember the word of God says what fellowship hath Christ with Satan? **(2Corinthians 6:15...And what concord hath Christ with Belial...)** , therefore, what fellowship hath followers of Christ (Christians) with followers of Satan (Satanists)? When you break this scriptural injunction **(Ecclesiastes 10:8...whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him...)** , you become vulnerable and exposed on your spiritual flanks. You become like sitting ducks in a shooting gallery to the devil who can now impart into you with or without your knowledge or permission its demons (lying spirits) **(1Kings 22:22...I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets...)**.

They in turn will begin to minister to you spiritually in such a way that'll make you believe that you are a spirit-filled Christian. Of course you will continue to look like, behave like, sound like, feel like, think like, talk like and preach like a spirit-filled Christian. But you will no longer be "filled" with the Holy Spirit **(Ephesians 5:18....be filled with the Spirit....)** , who is the Spirit of Christ but sadly, with the unholy spirit of the antichrist.

The devil's anointing includes the following:

a. Speaking in tongues

b. Prophecy, vision, revelation and word of knowledge

c. Healing, miracles, signs & wonders

Note too that the Holy Spirit gives these gifts and more to the children of God **(1Corinthians 12:8-10...For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues...)**.

But you can spot the difference by checking to see if they are in line with the scripture or not! For the Holy Spirit will not do or say anything contrary to what is written in the scriptures **(Ezekiel 36:27...And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes...)**. To further elaborate, it's not only when someone prophesies and it comes to pass that it then means that, that fellow is a man of God **(Deuteronomy 13:1-3a...If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet or dreamer of dreams...)**.

Remember the séance that King Saul visited, everything that evil spirit that was impersonating the prophet Samuel said, came to pass **(1Samuel 28).** Even the little girl that followed Paul & Co. about also prophesied and what she said though through demonic influence was nevertheless true. My advice is this, whenever you hear or see or experience such things, go and check the scriptures, and compare them with similar events in the Bible. If they add up or measure up with the Biblical standard and are in accordance with what the word of God is saying, know that it is of God.

We know that if it's not of God, it is definitely of the devil **(Luke 11:23...He that is not with me is against me..)**. We as true believers in Christ should be very wary of these two words that are being used frequently in church ministries all over the world today: Impartation & Anointing! I will only dwell on anointing. Let us examine some of these various types of anointing Satan is pouring out to its prophets in this end time age.

**a) SPEAKING IN TONGUES** : it is possible for Christians to have the gift of speaking in tongues from the Holy Spirit **(1Corinthians 12:28...then gifts of...diversities of tongues...)**. Unfortunately, they can also receive satanic tongues from demons.

That is why we should not allow just about any man of God we come across to lay hands on us **(1Timothy 5:22...Lay hands suddenly on no man...).** This type of anointing comes often through laying on of hands. I know this for a fact that some Christians receive the gift of speaking in tongues from the Holy Spirit through dreams.

In their dreams, they suddenly start to speak or sing in tongues and after this they begin to speak in tongues. Some receive it while praying or worshipping the Lord. They suddenly receive the gift and immediately begin to speak in tongues without any fore thought or knowledge; many Christians I believe can testify to this. They did not make any conscious effort or attempt to speak in tongues before receiving the gift neither were they guided nor led into speaking in tongues by a fellow believer.

My advice is this: beware of Christians who see you for the first time, and after preaching or praying or ministering to you, begin to exhort and encourage you to speak in tongues. Their favorite line goes like this: "open your mouth and begin to speak and say something or anything, and the Holy Spirit will give you utterance". Does that ring a bell? Flee from such people or churches because nine times out of ten, you will receive a tongue speaking spirit that is not from the Holy Spirit but from the devil. In other words, the devil's anointing.

The danger in this is that this spirit will be praying curses on you and blaspheming the name of God every time you open your mouth to pray in tongues. A demonic tongue speaking spirit can never bless you and intercede for you the way the Holy Spirit does. It can only do what demons do and that is to curse you and any one you happen to be praying for in tongues **(James 3:10...Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren these things ought not be so...)**. This scripture applies not only when we physically curse and bless with our mouth, but also when we spiritually do the same as in the case of speaking or praying in demonic tongues.

In a church that is very keen on praying collectively in tongues, demons are given a field day to curse the church and its ministry. As well as say incantations to block and hinder the church members' blessings, simply by using the mouths of those church members who knowingly or unknowingly have these demonic tongues. That's why Paul said though we should not forbid speaking in tongues altogether in the church **(1Corinthians 14:39...forbid not to speak with tongues...)**. Nevertheless, we should not allow people to speak in tongues collectively in the church without an interpreter **(1Corinthians 14:27-28...If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God...)**.

For those Christians who believe that it is only when they pray in tongues that they are speaking directly to God and no one else can understand them, they should search the scriptures and see if it is really so. What I see in the scriptures is that speaking in tongues according to the scriptures are of two kinds: the earthly and the heavenly tongues.

Earthly tongues first came about after the tower of Babel **(Genesis 11:9...therefore is the name of it is called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth...)** , which were the bed-rocks of all present languages on earth (angels and demons speak and understand every last one of them). Followed by the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit, where the disciples began to speak in earthly tongues of several known languages **(Acts 2:6...every man heard them speak in his own language...)**. The heavenly tongues are the spiritual languages in which angels and demons communicate **(1Corinthians 13:1...Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels...)**.

The scripture says the "tongues of men and of angels", which signifies that, just as we have a variety of languages here on earth, so there are a variety of languages in the heavenly realm. Now if angels and demons alike can understand all earthly tongues, why can they not understand all heavenly tongues? What then makes us think that Satan and its demons cannot understand us when we pray in heavenly tongues? Because with my limited knowledge of the scriptures I am yet it to find it so written. Perhaps these demons a.k.a fallen angels have forgotten the heavenly language they used to speak in heaven before they fell down to the earth. Fat Chance!

This general Pentecostal belief should and must be challenged if it has no solid scriptural basis because the Bible says that only God hears the prayers we say in our hearts **(1Kings 8:39...for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men...)**. According to the Bible, silent prayer (prayer said in the heart) to God and not praying in tongues is the only prayer angels and demons cannot hear or understand. We should bear in mind the purpose of tongue speaking; it was meant as a sign for the unbelievers **(1Corinthians 14:22...Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not...).** To show them that the disciples were followers of Christ and have received the Holy Spirit and are children of the most high God **(Mark 16:17....And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with "new tongues"...) & (Acts 2:4...and they began to speak with "other tongues," as the Spirit gave them utterance...)**.

As we can see the book of Acts says "other tongues" meaning tongues of men, while the book of Mark says "new tongues" meaning tongues of angels. In both cases, the purpose remained the same. And that is as a sign for the unbelievers. Remember that in the list or hierarchy of spiritual gifts, speaking in tongues comes last **(1Corinthians 12:28...after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues...)**.

While I agree that speaking in tongues is a way of communicating through the Holy Spirit to God, I vehemently disagree that it is a secure, safe and coded means of prayer which no devil or demon can crack or understand. If it was so, the Bible will not rate such an important means (a direct hot-line between God and man) of talking to God so low on the hierarchy of spiritual gifts, seeing that prayer is one of the key pillars of our Christian faith. In addition, if it was that important, God would have made it mandatory and compulsory that we as Christians should all speak in tongues: tongue speaking / praying is a gift while normal prayer is a must **(1Thessalonians 5:17...Pray without ceasing..).**

In simple language, it means always pray and never ever stop praying. Bearing in mind the scriptural truths available to us, one can comfortably say that this is another lie of the devil that has been passed to us down the generation gap. With the sole purpose of making us have a kind of false security when praying in tongues that it cannot hear and understand us. While in reality it can. Finally, how then do we rebuke demons when praying in tongues if they cannot hear us anyway? That to me is the biggest joke that Satan is playing on a lot of Christians. Imagine rebuking demons / evil spirits while you are praying in tongues and yet believing that they cannot hear you rebuking them. I liken it to a man screaming at someone he knows is stone deaf. What? Ignorance & Foolishness!

You see the devil is very cunning, crafty, deceptive, tricky, wily and wicked. Many Christians do not know about silent prayer as the direct hot line to God, which is one of the most potent weapons in our arsenal against the devil. So it tries to prevent us from coming to the knowledge of this truth. While at the same time, Satan tries to give us blank bullets and making us believe they are real bullets as in the case of praying in tongues. My advice in this case is this: whenever or wherever anyone you are not sure of prays for you in tongues, just begin to plead the Blood of Jesus quietly between your hips. By so doing if it is a positive prayer, it's okay. But if it is a negative prayer, you will be protected by the Blood of the Jesus **(Exodus 12:13...and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you...)**.

**b) PROPHECY, VISION, REVELATION & WORD OF KNOWLEDGE**: this is a very tricky one and I believe it really takes the grace of God not to fall for such people who have this particular anointing from the devil. The scripture tells us this: **...ye shall know them by their fruits...Matthew 7:16)**. Not by their 'words" but by their "fruits". So as Christians we should not believe every Tom, Dick or Harry pastor or prophet, who tells us something from our past or present and claims his vision, revelation, prophecy or word of knowledge is from God.

Remember that even juju (voodoo) priests, witch doctors and the like can do the same. So please we should not let this ability to forecast or predict something in the name of God to be our yard stick for measuring who is a true prophet of God. As far as I am concerned, their fruits do not mean their words, sermons, miracles, healing, signs and wonders etc. It simply means what they "do" and what they tell you to "do". If you scrutinize them using the Bible as your reference point you will soon find out that their "fruits" (what they do and what they tell you to do) are contrary to what the Bible teaches.

Listed below are 10 ways of "checking out" men of God and identifying their fruits

1. Check and scrutinize them personally (their personal behavior and character, the way they talk and act especially in private.)

2. Check if the things they ask you to do are scriptural.

3. Check their way of praying and worshipping (requesting money after praying for you, praying with candles., bathing in rivers or streams, praying curses on people, repetitive prayers / chants, little or no Bible study during service, not encouraging fasting and praying).

4. Check if they are very money conscious, materialistic minded and filled with spiritual pride.

5. Check if they encourage you to ignore the devil because it's been defeated and it doesn't count,

6. Check if they rarely preach about sanctification (living a sinless life in Christ).

7. Check if they always preach about "all these things" (health and wealth doctrine).

8. Check if they always have a tendency to misinterpret the Bible.

9. Check if they secretly lust after attractive ladies in the church.

10 Check if they can pass the scriptural test in 1John 4:2-3

Note that with the exception of check No: 10, this is not the yardstick of identifying if a minister of the gospel is truly a servant of God or not. But it is more like a compass that gives you an idea of that minister's focus. "By all these things" I mean power, victory, success, divine health, riches, fame, glory, dominion etc. They simply forget that Christianity is not about health and wealth but about heaven and hell. The Bible says **...seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and "all these things" shall be added unto you...Matthew 6:33!**

What shall we say then? Yes we will have success in our ventures, marriages, businesses, careers, academics and victory over sicknesses, diseases, witchcraft, demonic oppression, you name it. The Bible teaches us that all these things will follow after you and even overtake you **(Deuteronomy 28:2...And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shall hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God...)** ; if you first seek the kingdom (salvation) and his righteousness (try to live a life void of sin). You do not have to work at obtaining the promises of God; they kick in automatically when you obey the Bible injunction of Matthew 6:33!

Remember what Jesus Christ told the Laodicean Christians in Revelation 3:14-18 **(verse 17...thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked...) & (verse 18...annoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see...)**. So for Christians who run away from churches where the sound doctrine of salvation and sanctification is preached to comfortable churches where wealth and health doctrines are taught (applying Scriptural principles to get wealthy and stay healthy). The Bible says they should open their spiritual eyes to see that this particular "Laodicean Doctrine" is indeed a "demonic doctrine" **(1Timothy 4:1....in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils...)**.

Let us not think that it is harmless to fellowship with such people. The Bible says that he that is joined together with a harlot becomes as that harlot **(1Corinthians 6:16...know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body?...)**. The scripture is not really talking about physical prostitutes but about the spiritual prostitute called Babylon **(Revelation 19:2...for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication...)**.

If we read through all of Revelation chapter 18, we will see that the scripture refers to Babylon as a female. The scripture warns us to have no fellowship with her and not to partake of her sins and plagues **(Revelation 18:4...Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues...)**. The Bible did not conceal the true identity of Babylon as the kingdom of Satan together with all it's hosts of demons (evil and wicked spirits) as well as those humans who are being led and directed by the Babylonian spirit **(Revelation 18:2...the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird...)**.

So according to the scriptures, Babylon is really the kingdom of Satan, not the decadent western world of America and Europe as Satan would rather have us believe. Therefore if you are living in sin, you surely and most definitely living in Babylon.

As a Christian, if you fellowship with her, you stand the very real risk of being imparted with the same Babylonian spirit, with or without your knowledge or permission. Consequently, you are no longer a servant of God but sadly the servant of Satan **(2Peter 2:20...after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning...)**. On the last day, even when you cry Lord! Lord!; Jesus Christ will send you away from Him **(Matthew 7:23b..I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity...)**. It is my sincere prayer that this shall not be your portion in Jesus name...Amen!

**C) HEALING, MIRACLES, SIGNS & WONDERS**: this is the most dangerous of them all. As a matter of fact, it is almost a 100% guarantee that if you receive healing or whatever from these false prophets, doing these works, you have no doubt received the devil's anointing. Let me explain the mentality of the devil and its demons towards us Christians that are truly in Christ. They envy us because God has chosen us to take their place **(Psalm 68:16...Why leap [envy] ye, ye high hills? This is the hill God desireth to dwell in; yea the LORD will dwell in it forever...)**. "High hills", represents the devil and its demons, while "hill" represents the true children of God.

After Satan was thrown out of heaven **(Luke 10:18...I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven...)** , together with its demons or fallen angels **(Revelation 12:4...And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth...)**. God judged and condemned them to eternal damnation in the lake of fire **(Matthew 25:41..everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels..)**.

Remember that these evil beings were once glorious angels **(Isaiah l4:12...How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!...)** , before they rebelled against God **(Revelation 12:7...And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels...)**. Consequently, God flushed them out of heaven **(Revelation 12:9...he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him...)** , and pronounced judgment on them **(Revelation 18:8b...afld she shall utterly be burned with fire: for strong is the LORD God who judgeth her...)**.

Realizing that for them there is no more redemption or salvation according to the uncompromising spiritual and scriptural law of God **(Ezekiel 18:20...The soul that sinneth, it shall die...);** they now sought vengeance on man whom they saw that God loved so very much **(Revelation 12:12...Woe unto the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time...).** By causing man to sin, they figured that mankind would also be condemned as they are.

Thereby forcing God to destroy mankind just as they too will be destroyed, based on the uncompromising law of God that the soul that sinneth must surely die. For them, it was a way of getting one back at God. But they did not reckon with Jesus Christ coming to save us by dying in our stead so that God can redeem us **(1Corinthians 2:8b...none of the princes of this world knew for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory...)**.

God had foreseen everything that's why He promised salvation to us even before He created the whole world **(Titus 1:2...In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began...)**. Now that they see salvation for mankind through the person of Jesus Christ, they regard anyone who is in Christ Jesus a sworn enemy and they will do all in their power to make sure that such a one will not make it into the kingdom of God **(Psalm 69:4...They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head...)**. The war is on and the stakes are indeed high **(Revelation 12:17...And the dragon was wrath with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ...)**.

That is why true Christians face trials, temptations and tribulations from the kingdom of Satan 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year **(2Timothy 3:12...Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution...).** I want to hit home this gospel truth. If as a child of God, you do not face persecution, trials, tribulations and temptations day in day out, month on month, year to year, in your faith-life, it means that Satan and its demons have left you alone for one reason only.

Satan has trapped and locked you down in its wardrobe! Don't think for one moment that it is because you know the word of God and you can speak and apply the word of God in every situation and circumstance when you don't "do" the word of God **(James 1:22...But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves...)**. It is only when you're a "doer" of the word by living a righteous and holy life that the evil one cannot touch you. They will surely try, but they will surely fail.

Search the scriptures and show me one man of God from Noah the first prophet to Paul the last apostle that had a smooth ride in their faith-life without facing divers trials and tribulations. Even our Lord Jesus Christ was not exempted from it in His earth-walk. He faced uncountable persecutions, trials and temptations without sin

**(Heb 4:15.but was in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin...)**. So as Christians, we should expect troubles but remain confident that victory is assured according to the word of God **(John 16:33...In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world...)**.

We should also be vigilant against such "utopia doctrines" that promises us a stress free, sickness free, temptation free, problem free, suffering free faith-life in Christ Jesus. That those who suffer these things probably have secret sins or their hearts are not right with God. Like they say true Christians cannot suffer because Jesus Christ has already suffered for them. This is pure jazz and a red lie of the devil that was hatched out of the pit of hell that is being taught by ministers of Satan claiming to be ministers of God.

Jesus Christ Himself warned and encouraged us several times in the scriptures that though we will suffer many things if we want to carry our cross and follow him, we should endure because our victory is inevitable. What the Bible says is this: when you seek after the righteousness of God **(1Peter 1:16...Be ye holy; for I am holy...)** , you will eat the good of the land **(Deuteronomy 28:8...The LORD shall command blessing upon thee in thy storehouses...)**. But if we do not seek after the righteousness of God we will not eat the good of the land as children of God **(Deuteronomy 28:20....The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke...)**.

So Christians who are obviously carnal and focused only on temporal and material things like money, cars, houses, clothes, jewelry, jobs, careers, businesses and the like; and give no immediate thought of living a righteous and holy life void of sin, not to talk of focusing on making it to heaven and securing eternal life. When such Christians now find themselves living lavish and acquiring wealth through unscriptural sources, and believe that those riches are blessings from God, they should do what the scriptures says and check themselves before they wreck themselves **(Lamentations 3:40....Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD...)**. Because such ill-gotten wealth is definitely not from God but from Satan.

Know this too: it is not that God has built a hedge around you **(Job 1:10...Hast thou not made an hedge about him...)** , but that the god of this age has trapped you **(2Timothy 2:26...that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will...)**. This is one of the biggest lies the world's most prolific "spin doctor" (Satan) can ever spin on any Christian. When Christians who believe they are spirit-filled, and are being led by the Holy Spirit, continue to live sinful lives and are not repentant **(Romans 6:1...Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God Forbid!...)**.

Yet they continue to prosper in all facets of life (business, family, career, academics, marriage, health etc). Apparently for these Christians, everything is as good as it gets and it just couldn't be better. Watch out! Satan is rife in those Christians' lives. The devil has such Christians trapped and locked up in its wardrobe. The devil has left such Christians alone simply because it knows that, that they belong to it already, so why wage war on captured souls. The devil will only fight those Christians that are in Zion, not those that are still held captive in Babylon.

Finally, let me stress this point; search the scriptures because it is the final and absolute authority in the whole universe: the "Word of God". Every where you look from Genesis to Revelation, children of God were always facing divers trials, temptations, tribulations, persecutions, afflictions and reproaches for the sake of their faith. So why should yours be different? Even the Bible has warned us repeatedly of these things and has assured us of victory over them all **(Romans 8:37...in all these things we are more than conquerors...)**. Plus an eternal life of glory in Christ Jesus, if we endure to the end **(James 1:12...Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life.,.)**. It is my sincere prayer that we understand what these portions of the scripture are saying and by the grace of God we will not only be hearers of the word but: doers also...Amen!

For those seeking signs and wonders only, this is what Jesus Christ said: the only sign and wonder we will get is His crucifixion, death and resurrection **(Matthew 12:39-40...An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth...)**.

For those who innocently believe that all such workers of miracles, signs and wonders are truly men of God, remember what Christ said about them: **(Matthew 24:24... For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders...)**. If you come across anyone be he a pope, prophet or priest or whatever, working signs and wonders, don't just get carried away and go running to him **(Ephesians 4:14...we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about by every wind of doctrine...)** , do the right thing and prayerfully ask God to tell you whether to go to him or not.

Believe it, the Holy Spirit will surely tell you what to do. But please use what I call "Heaven's Hotline". For those who don't understand, it is the prayer said silently in your heart. Only God can hear it. No devil, no demon or even angel can hear it. We do this to make sure that the enemy (Satan) cannot tamper with our special requests to God.

The devil's anointing is very real and widespread especially now in this end time. If we receive anything from Satan, it is never for free! There is always a deadly price to pay and that price is to lose our soul and spend eternal life in the lake of fire! Only God gives every thing for free **(Matthew 10:8...freely ye have received, freely give...); because He has already paid the price with His own Blood. The Blood of Jesus! Remember what Satan told Jesus Christ, when it showed Him the riches and glory of the world (Luke 4:7...If thou wilt worship me, all shall be thine...)**.

Nothing has changed at all since then, Satan is still doing the same thing to children of God, and most especially, ministers of the gospel all over the world offering them one earthly glory or the other on the condition that they bow down before it to serve and worship it. There is nothing new in our present age **(Ecclesiastes 1:9...there is no new thing under the sun...)** , it is a lie of the devil that though these things happened in Biblical times, nowadays they no longer happen.

Listen up, everything we see today, be it hi-tech, medium-tech or low-tech, the scripture says that they have all been in existence long before our time **(Ecclesiastes 1:10...Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us...)**. The scripture cannot be mistaken **(John 10:35...the scripture cannot be broken...)**.

We might have television, computers, space shuttles etc, but this is all technology that was not really invented by men, but was transferred from the spirit world to our physical world using men. The scripture says that our intelligence, inventions, imaginations, ideas, innovations and even genius are all spiritually induced **(John 3:27...A man can receive nothing, except it be given from heaven...)**. Check the autobiography of most pioneers and inventors, it will tell you that they either stumbled on their discoveries / inventions or while they wrestled and grappled with the problem, one day the solution came to them suddenly, right out of the blue. Psychologists call this phenomenon inspiration.

The scripture says that on our own, we know nothing **(Job 8:9...For we are but of yesterday and know nothing...)**. So no matter how intelligent we may claim to be, we still know nothing because all our intelligence is spiritually induced. Going back to the devil's anointing, when Satan gives us anything, the price it demands for that thing is our soul, whether healing, power, glory, anointing, fame, wealth or anything under the sun.

My personal premise here is this: if for instance you are a Christian and you happen to have HIV Aids and you go to a false prophet who uses the power of Satan to heal you; what happened is that, Satan has exchanged its demons in you. The demon of Aids has simply been traded with most likely a far more deadlier demon, whose sole purpose might be to keep you away from the true doctrine of Christ. It will achieve this by ministering to you in such a way that you will think that it is the Holy Spirit **(2Corinthians 11:14...And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light...).**

These types of demons even go as far as mis-interpreting the Bible to you whenever you read it. The devil knows that if Christians do not abide in the doctrine of Christ, they no longer have God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit in them **(2John 9a...Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, bath not God..)**. Thereby giving it the chance and opportunity to become their lord and master in the person of the antichrist, whose sole purpose in this world is to ensure that millions and millions of people will follow it to the lake of fire!

Of course Satan's false prophets will not tell you that. Because it is the devil that gives them utterance in the first place. So they preach about the things that will enable you to make it here on earth, but will not preach about the things that will enable you to make it to heaven. Beloved brethren, beware **(Mark 13:22...false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce if it were possible, even the elect...)**. So we will not end up like people running from one occult priest to another. Seeking solutions to their problems and have the devil (the evil one) injecting / ejecting into and out of them various Possessing demons **(Mark l:32...they brought unto him...them that were possessed with devils)** and Oppressing demons **(Matthew 4:24...and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments)**.

With these words I end my exhortation! Salvation is personal **(Phillipians 2:12...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling)** ; and it occurs once in a lifetime. But sanctification occurs every day of our life **(1Corinthians 10:31...in Christ Jesus Our Lord, I die daily...)**. Let him that hath ear, let him hear!

During the Choirmaster's episode, there was a particular speech that the Prophet made that sounded to me like the devil actually speaking about its future plans for the prophet Church. They were all awed to see one of them performing such mighty works in Ghana. I could feel the mood the disciples were in, matter of fact, if their faces were books, I could have read this line out of them: "I wish I was the one doing these mighty Works". The prophet then stood up to address us and began his megalomaniac speech. He said that the disciples were obviously surprised to see the choirmaster (the last one they all expected) receive the anointing of power to do mighty works.

He added that it is just as the Bible says that the first shall be the last and the last shall be the first. So they should realize that if they want to be used by God, they should know that it's not how far but how well. They should also realize that if he chooses anyone, it is the spirit that leads or tells him to do so. So they should not try to please him but try to please God. He then said something that sounded to me as Lucifer actually speaking and boasting, he said: "If I send you, greater works than these you will do, except [I] did not send you". The minute he spoke these words, my spirit confirmed it and I knew right then that it was in fact Satan itself that was actually speaking through the prophet. One word jumped straight into my consciousness: Anti-christ! The minute I made that connection, every bit of the whole jigsaw puzzle fell neatly into place. That's when I saw the big picture.

THE ANTI-CHRIST CHURCH

This was it! So this indeed was it. My spirit was repeating it over and over again. I knew according to the scriptures, that the anti-christ is not as yet physically present in our midst **(2Thessalonians 2:3...Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition...)**. His spirit is definitely operating in our midst **(1John 4:3...that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world....)**.

The scripture makes it abundantly clear that the Second Coming of Christ will be preceded by the flesh and blood manifestation of the spirit of Satan, which is the antichrist, the son of perdition. One thing has become clear to me; the glorious Second Coming of Jesus Christ will not happen in my lifetime. Because the entire world's government will first have to be under the absolute control of one man (the antichrist) who would claim to be as God **(2Thessalonians 2:4.. .Who opposeth and exalted himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God...)**.

This same person, the antichrist who according to the scripture will also be the high priest of the beast **(Revelation 13:15...And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many would not worship the image of the beast should be killed...)**. While the beast itself is not the antichrist, but it has received its power and authority over all the world's nations from the Satan the dragon **(Revelation 13:2b....and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat and great authority...)**.

But the antichrist will cause humanity to receive the "Mark of the Beast". **(Revelation 13:16...And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead...)**.

That evil mark of eternal condemnation **(Revelation 14:11...And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever received the mark of his name...)**. So according to the scripture in the second epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians, chapter two, verse three, all these things will first come to pass before Jesus Christ will come again. Look at the world today. What we see is the coming together of nations to have one economy, one border, one currency one parliament and ultimately, one central tyrannical government that will be headed spiritually by the beast and physically by the antichrist. They will rule the world for 42 months symbolically speaking **(Revelation 13:5...and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months...)**.

Beloved, for all this to come to pass, it will still take some more time. Most likely, no one alive today of my age group will witness all of these things right to the end of the world. But for us Christians who live in this age which is just a few seconds to the proper end time, like Jesus Christ said: we should recognize the signs and know that the end is truly near **(Matthew 24:6...for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet...)**. As well as focus on living our lives in Christ and be right with God because we can die at any time and for us that is our own personal end time and end of our world.

The scripture also says that not until all men living on earth have heard the gospel, so that they will have no excuse, the end of the world will not come **(Matthew 24:14...And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come...)**.

That is definitely going to take some time before every living soul on earth would have had the opportunity of hearing the gospel. When next anyone tells you that the Second Coming of Christ might happen today, tomorrow or next week, tell that fellow to go study the scriptures properly. What will surely happen to us is that we will die and give an account of our lives to God **(Romans 14:12...So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God...)**. Therefore we should prepare for that day, because it can happen today, tomorrow or next week **(Amos 4:12...prepare to meet thy God, O Israel...)**. By the grace of God, we will be with Jesus Christ in paradise when we pass away from this world **(Luke 23:43...And Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise...)**. Amen!

This church led by Prophet Josiah is a confirmed antichrist church and the devil is using it in Nigeria to be a culture for breeding one of its first cadre of anti-christ prophets that will go into the world deceiving people with great signs and wonders **(Matthew 24:24....there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders...)**.

Let me put this into perspective. In this church, there is a cadre of young and old disciples, waiting to receive the so called power of anointing to heal the sick, work miracles and perform signs and wonders. This cadre of disciples is truly an international cast from the US, UK, Europe, Asia and other parts of Africa.

On one occasion, the prophet said he was looking for 20 or so disciples for special anointing. These disciples are from all over the world, both male and female (for he said that the females will also be anointed to do similar mighty works). If these so called junior prophets are being sent back to various countries like the prophet plans to do and they in turn start to perform these miracles and healing and signs and wonders, what do you think will happen in those places they go to? The same thing that happened in Ghana when the choirmaster was performing his tricks on those poor ignorant souls.

People will troop to their churches in droves. I can imagine in London for instance, what will happen if a junior prophet trained by Prophet Josiah who also happens to be English, comes suddenly on the scene and begins to heal the sick of various diseases. Like aids, asthma, cancer and the lame, cripple, blind, deaf, dumb are healed and other similar works like the prophet is doing. Believe me people will flock to their churches like there was no tomorrow. Whether black or white, Christians and non-christians, they will all rush there because these things don't happen in such places often.

Now we can now see how Satan is planning to impart into the multitudes of people especially Christians all over the world with this evil anointing or more appropriately the "Mark of the Beast". Symbolized by the number: 666! For now, the devil plans to do this spiritually in two ways. One way is when you fellowship with such churches and believe and practice their doctrine. In other words, "Worshipping the Beast" whether knowingly or unknowingly **(Revelation 14:9...If any man worship the beast and his image...). The second way is when you receive healing and miracles through the prophets and ministers of such churches, regardless if you are a member of their churches or not (Revelation 14:9...and receive his mark in his forehead...)**.

Believe the word of God because it says that such people are automatically doomed forever **(Revelation 14:10...The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God...)**. If you don't know for sure if the prophets like Prophet Josiah who go around healing people and working great miracles signs & wonders in the name of God are truly men of God, please do not go near them. Because if you do, you stand a deadly risk of receiving the "666 Mark" on your forehead. Don't think that this will only happen in the future. The fact and truth is that it is starting to happen now! Remember that this is the age of the endtime and the anti-christ will emerge in person for only a few years after which the final end will come.

What I'm saying now is the absolute truth! This truth is a revelation given to me by the Holy Spirit! The Mark of the Beast will both be physical and spiritual! We are approaching the end time and Satan has started to impart into people the spiritual mark of the beast. By way of using these anti-christ churches.

Be warned! Beloved Brethren please do not fail to read:

Revelation 13:16-18!

Now!!!

The physical mark 666 (on the right hands of people) is yet to be manifested on earth. By observation we can see the globalization and merging of the world's countries politically, militarily and economically backed with the accelerating advancement of technology especially the computer. All these will definitely lead to the manifestation of the physical mark of the beast (666).

Then it will become almost impossible to live a normal life if you do not have that 'mark". Regardless of where you live on the planet **(Revelation 13:17.And that no man might buy or sell, save he that hath the "mark"...)**. As the Bible puts it, the only way for Christians to live in safety will be to avoid the cities, towns and villages and go live in the mountains **(Matthew 24:16...Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains...)**. We should be thankful to God that we will not be alive during this time of great tribulation for the true Christians.

Satan is now in the early stages of imparting people with the spiritual mark 666 "in" the foreheads of people. The Bible uses the word "in" to signify that it will be done through spiritual impartation. That means that antichrist prophets or ministers will be mandated by Satan to brand people with the mark of the beast. Just the same way a wicked ranch owner would mandate his cowboys to brand his "mark" on any cattle or sheep found grazing within the parameters of his ranch. This is serious indeed because the people that would eventually receive this mark (666) in their foreheads are condemned forever!

(Revelation 14:9-11...If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead...he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone...And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever "receiveth" the mark of his name...)

I pray that we should not because of healing, miracles, signs & wonders go to "graze" in such churches or ranches and end up receiving the mark of the name of the beast which is the number 666! Be warned because the Bible says that once anyone receives such a mark, that person will surely end up in the Lake of Fire! Remember, Satan can never and wll never heal you for free. It will surely extract a price from you. Your soul!

(Revelation 19:20..And the beast was taken, with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had "received" the mark of the beast, and them that "worshipped" his image. These were both cast alive into a "lake of fire" burning with brimstone...)

Do not be deceived, churches like that of Prophet Josiah's church are springing up all over the world. They are among the first anti-christ churches Satan is trying to raise up in this end time. It is impossible for anyone to continue following them and escape condemnation.

Even the Prophet Josiah said as much that anywhere his church is located, people will troop there in thousands. I want to point here, that these are merely plans of the devil and they can be hindered, disrupted and stopped. Only God's plan cannot be stopped **(Job 42:2.1 know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought [plan] can be witholden from thee...)**. God has given every child of His, power over all the power of the enemy, meaning Satan and it's demons **(Luke 10:19...Behold I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you...)**.

So I believe it's every true Christian's duty to oppose, resist and stop the devil together with all it's evil plans, schemes, devices, machinations and manifestations through the power of God **(James 4:7...Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you...)** ; no matter where we are, through fasting and prayer **(Mark 9:29...This kind can come forth by nothing, but prayer and fasting...)**. Especially in this time of God's grace **(Ephesians 2:8...for by grace are ye saved...)**.

THE LINK

This book might spark off different reactions from different readers. One thing I am sure of is this: no matter what conclusions the reader may arrive at, it can only be one of the following:

1. Believe it as the truth

2. Brand it as a lie

3. Be undecided.

Which ever way the penny drops, I am glad that at least some thought will be given to the contents of this book. In this frame of mind, I wish to state again that the purpose of my writing this book is as a direct response to the instructions the Lord gave to me. Otherwise I would not even give it a second thought not to talk of writing it. I never knew the church of Prophet Josiah before coming back to Nigeria, I had no business with them and Prophet Josiah was a strange name to me before I ever set foot in the country. So as far as I'm concerned, I have a clear conscience towards him, his church and towards God **(Acts 24:16...have always a conscience void of offence toward God and toward men...)**.

My prayer to God is for Him to set free those who have been spiritually trapped and held captive by Satan in churches like that of Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher's church. Through the knowledge of the truth **(Isaiah 5:13...Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge...)**. That is why I will obey the Bible injunction that says to be a "Truth Trumpeter" wherever I go regardless of the consequences **(Zechariah 8:16...Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour...)**.

What I'm about to say is what I perceive to be the truth, according to the revelation given to me by the Holy Spirit. Some people might not like it, but again, I have nothing to gain by fabricating lies against anyone or church for that matter. In reality, I really believe that I have even more to lose from it, But what ever I lose for the sake of Christ, I count as gain **(Philippians 3:7-8...But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ...for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them as dung, that I may win Christ...)**. Indeed, if I was not a 100% sure of what I'm saying, I would not say it.

There is a spiritual link between the church of Prophet Josiah and the church of Pastor Christopher. This link starts all the way from the top echelon of both churches. The two leaders of these churches are bonded together in a pact with Satan. They are indeed men of Satan posing as men of God. In a nutshell, Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher (remember that these are not their real names) are both Nigerians and command a huge world wide following. They are both based in Nigeria (Lagos) and are operating with the same spirit, power and anointing of the devil! This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

If we remember, in the revelation which I dubbed "Hell's Hotel", I saw Pastor Christopher wearing a white suit, ushering those innocent souls to those vampire creatures to be devoured. As at that time, I made no connection whatsoever with the real flesh and blood Pastor Christopher. Matter of fact, I did not even understand the revelation, let alone make any head or tail out of it. But when I did make the connection during one of the meeting sessions, after seeing Prophet Josiah's fingernails, I still did not see Pastor Christopher anywhere and in anyway close to Prophet Josiah: until one fateful day.

During one of our meeting sessions at about 12 midnight, while we were still about an hour deep into the meeting, the prophet's cell phone rang. One of the female disciples who was holding the prophet's phone answered it and called the attention of the prophet, telling him that he had a call. The prophet was livid. He told the female disciple to tell the caller that he was busy. This she promptly did. The prophet then angrily dressed down that particular disciple, calling her foolish, stupid and dumb. He was so angry that he was actually shouting on her (I'd never seen him so angry before), telling her that he'd warned her that if any one called, she was to tell the caller that he was busy and that is why he gave her the phone in the first place. He then continued his speech,

A few minutes later, the same cell phone rang again. This time the disciple promptly answered while everyone remained quiet. Then she looked up questioningly at the prophet, cupped the cell phone and whispered the name: "Pastor Christopher". The prophet now asked this question; "My friend?" and the disciple nodded in assent. You could see the anger that was beginning to well up on the prophet's face instantly disappear when the disciple confirmed that the caller was indeed Pastor Christopher.

The prophet then took the phone and walked out of the room to answer the call privately. Every one in the room knew who Pastor Christopher was and that was how I came to the knowledge that Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher were indeed close friends. Because anyone who would call the prophet in the dead of night at about l.30am and the prophet answered the phone in such light mannered way especially after strongly reiterating that he would answer no calls had to be in close ties with the prophet. The same way I would feel free to call my best friend at 3am in the morning just to say hello to him. In addition to that, the prophet confirmed it when he said; "My friend?".

Shortly after that, there was also another incident that confirmed to me just how closely knit together Prophet Josiah is to Pastor Christopher. During another meeting, there was another incident that occurred. One of the younger disciples was called by the prophet to give an impromptu sermon. So he started to mime some popular preachers and every one started laughing. The prophet now asked him where he got that style of preaching from. The young disciple said he got it from watching the tapes of some famous preachers in the country and commenced to naming some or them, whose names I would hesitate to disclose.

Among these prominent list the disciple was calling, the name "Pastor Christopher" popped up and the prophet then asked him; "which Pastor Christopher?" and the young disciple then nervously answered, calling the full name and surname of Pastor Christopher. The prophet replied rather incredulously, "You mean my friend?" and the disciple said "Yes sir!". From the prophet's point of view, I have no doubt that he has a very good relationship with Pastor Christopher and considers him not just a friend, but a good, close, intimate or in that category type of friend.

Though this proves nothing in itself, but it was recorded that Pastor Christopher made a famously documented visit to the church of Prophet Josiah some times past. Even though the union of Pentecostal churches in Nigeria refuses to have anything to do with Prophet Josiah and his ministry. This visit was a bit controversial then because Pastor Christopher is a member of this same Pentecostal union. During that visit, Prophet Josiah as I gathered, laid his hands on the Pastor Christopher and prayed for him or ministered to him. It really doesn't matter your terminology. It is likely that nine times out often, that was the moment that Pastor Christopher was imparted with the same anointing that Prophet Josiah has... **The Devil's Anointing!**

In Christendom, laying on of hands signifies a spiritual transfer of power & authority (anointing) from the person who is laying hands to the person on whom the hand is laid **(Acts 3:5-6...and they chose Stephen...and Philip...whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them....)**. The point I'm stressing is this. It was after this visit that Pastor Christopher apparently began the ministry of healing and miracles. Just like Prophet Josiah. Before then, Pastor Christopher was only renowned as a good preacher.

A pastor and friend from the United Kingdom called me one day to tell me that when he was praying for me, the Lord gave him a revelation of me kneeling down before Prophet Josiah. He laid his hands on me and was praying for me; as he did so, a demon (devil's anointing) entered straight into me. He said he saw this revelation as clear as daylight while he was still praying for me. He told me that, that was why he called me and also to plead with, me not have anything to do with the church of Prophet Josiah and above all else not to allow Prophet Josiah to pray for me or lay his hands on me.

I told him confidently that he was right and that God has revealed to me who Prophet Josiah really was in the spirit. What am I saying? According to the confirmatory revelation the pastor in the U.K had, this is exactly what would have happened if I had remained in the church of Prophet Josiah and God had not opened my eyes to see the truth.

Backpedaling to the link between the churches of Pastor Christopher and Prophet Josiah. The practices of both their churches are very identical to each other's. Listed below are some of the practices and activities that are common to both ministries.

**a) HEALING CLASS** : this practice is completely unscriptural and both the churches of Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher practice it. Let me explain further. In the church of Prophet Josiah, they call it "Emergency Class" (note this is not the actual name 'they call it). There they prepare you for your healing encounter with the prophet. There they teach stuffs like you must have faith, believe and expect your healing or miracle before you can receive it. In the church of Pastor Christopher, though I wasn't there to observe it per se, reliable sources say that the same principles applies. There they call it the "healing class" (note this is not the actual name they call it). You are taught to have faith and believe in God's healing power, so that when the pastor prays for you, you can then receive your healing.

Now when you don't get healed, their cop out line goes like this: your lack of faith is the reason why you did not receive your healing or miracle or whatever. My suggestion to those who fail to receive healing or miracle when such prophets or pastors (Faith Healers) prays for them is this. Tell them to allow you to "repeat the class". After all, in a conventional school you still get a chance to repeat a class if you fail to meet the grade. So why can they not adapt the same principle in their healing classes. So that those that were not healed (after the so called "man of God" whom I call faith healers prayed for them), can repeat the course and try again.

I might have sounded caustic or sarcastic, but that's exactly how I feel about such practices that are clearly unscriptural and distinctly the doctrine of demons **(1Timothy 4:1...in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils...)**. Designed by Satan from the pit of hell with a singular purpose to lure people away from the faith in Christ Jesus.

I always base my conclusion on the solid foundation of the scriptures. The Bible says that if you are not sure or undecided about such matters, search the scriptures properly to see how it was done in the Biblical times of old and do likewise **(Jeremiah 6:16...Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein...)**.

Examine the prophets and apostles (in the Biblical times of old) with the healing anointing of God on them, from Moses to Paul, even to our Lord Jesus Christ. Did they ever have a special emergency room or healing class where those people who went to them for healing were first gathered or herded together and taught how to have faith in God before they could be healed?

Was it not recorded in the scriptures that people who came to the men of God came suddenly to them and they received their healing and miracles to the glory of God? A closer look at the healing ministry of Jesus Christ will reveal that everyone that Jesus Christ spoke the healing word of God to be healed; received their healing suddenly and instantly. To some He said; "your faith has made thee whole". To others He gave instructions to go and do something special and to others, He said nothing but simply healed them out of compassion as in the case of the widow whose only son died **(Luke 7:13-15...and when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her weep not. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother...)**.

The only ones who did not witness the mighty works of Jesus Christ due to their unbelief in Him as the Messiah and Son of God are those from His hometown who knew him as the carpenter's son. Not only did they not believe Him, they also rejected Him. As thy say, familiarity breeds contempt **(Mark 6:5-6...And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hand upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief...)**.

One thing is evident in the Bible about the prophets, the apostles and even Jesus Christ. Every time they spoke (ministered) the healing words of God to the sick all these people bar none, received their healing **(Acts 5:16...There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vex with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one...)**.

So as a true anointed man of God, being led by the Spirit of God. Whenever the Holy Spirit truly speaks through that man of God the words of healing to any sick person, that person will be healed by the power of God regardless of whether the person has faith or not. Because the word of healing spoken by the Holy Spirit cannot return to Him void **(Isaiah 55:11...So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it...)**. This is the truth!

Faith is very important because it is the basis of our relationship with God **(Hebrews 11:6...without faith it is impossible to please him [God)...)**. But the teaching that you "must" first have faith before you can be healed is a scriptural aberration. Remember the story of Peter and the lame man at the temple gate, the lame man was not asking for healing, he was asking for money **(Acts 3:3...seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms...)**. Remember that Peter had always been seeing the lame man there. Also, every one knew him because he was always begging at the Temple gate. Speculatively, Peter might also have given him alms (money) on a previous occasion.

But this time, the Bible says, that Peter led by the Holy Spirit: spoke the word of healing to him and he was healed. My question is this; did the man born lame have faith? The answer to that question is this; the faith to be healed was the last thing on the lame man's mind that day, all he most probably had on his mind was precisely what he was begging Peter and John for: Money! **(Act 3:5...And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something [money] of them...)**. That's why Peter said: "silver and gold have I not, but such as I have, I give unto thee".

While some had faith, others did not have faith. But the merciful God still healed them. What the scripture says is that the believer who is praying for the sick to be healed "must" have faith in God **(James 5:15...And the prayer of faith shall save the sick...)**. Remember the incident when a group of friends lowered a sick man down the roof to Jesus for healing. It is written that when Jesus Christ looked upon the faith of the men who lowered the sick man down, he healed the sick man suffering from palsy **(Mark 2:5...When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son thy sins be forgiven thee...)**.

So the next time they fail to heal you and turn around to blame you for it that it is because of your lack of faith, tell them that if you have their own "level" of faith there will be no need for you to come to them for prayers as your own faith would be sufficient to heal you if you pray the same "prayer of faith" just like they do. Be it called emergency room, healing class or faith school or whatever, these practices are most definitely not documented in the Bible, therefore they are not of God. God has not changed through the ages **(Malachi 3:6...For I am the LORD, I change not...)** , neither has Jesus Christ **(Hebrews 13:8...Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever...)**.

What shall we say then? The Holy Spirit has been healing sick people for ages, long before our time; the same way He healed past generations is the same way He will heal our present generation and also it is the same way He will also heal future generations. There is no new way, no new style, no new trick, and no new technique in the way that God heals now. Any preacher or believer that is saying or practicing the contrary should know this one thing; that it is a "Red Lie" of the devil!

Can you imagine the apostle Paul in the Bible telling Silas, Timothy and Titus to set up a healing class or school where all those sick people would be taught how to have faith in God so that when he comes to minister to them, they will be healed? I cannot, because the scripture says that wherever the apostles went, they healed the sick and cast out devils instantaneously **(Mark 6:12-13...And they went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them...)** , without any preparatory healing school, class or emergency room.

**b) AFFLICTION PLACARDS** : this is also a practice common to both the churches of Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher, but rarely found in other churches. It is the practice of Prophet Josiah's church to interview you and then write for the whole world to see, your affliction on a placard. How long you've been afflicted and your expectations from the prophet when he comes walking your way as you stand in healing line.

The exact same thing is what you will find in Pastor Christopher's church with all the sick patients standing in line. While a church worker stands behind them, holding what I will coin their "Affliction Placards' over their heads for every one to see their type of ailments and possibly the cure too. Now that's what I call a pretty good commercial advertisement for these faith healers and their churches. The ethics of this is of course questionable. But I'm not even talking ethics here. I'm talking about the link between the churches of Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher.

This particular practice was pioneered by Prophet Josiah's church and then initiated into the church led by Pastor Christopher. Most likely after he visited Prophet Josiah's church. I strongly advise Christians whenever and wherever they get the opportunity, to study and pay very close attention to these affliction placards of a thing and draw their own conclusions.

Furthermore, wherever you find such affliction placards been paraded before healing commences in the church, beware it might just turn out to be the same anti-christ spirit that is in control in that church too. Or do you honestly believe that the Holy Spirit will subject you to such unethical means to embarrass, belittle and ridicule you with your affliction before healing you? Remember the woman with the issue of blood who was quietly healed by Jesus Christ without first being subjected to the embarrassment and ridicule of letting everyone know about her affliction. It was until after she was healed and she gave her testimony that we all knew of her affliction. Right or wrong?

So if you are using the power of God to heal why not let the afflicted people testify of God's divine healing in their lives to the glory, why must you humiliate and accuse them in public first like Satan the accuser does? Why?

Look let me say a little something about this, when God used men of God in the Bible to heal people and even raise the dead, it was always impromptu and unexpected for them. Meaning they never knew it was going to happen; but God knew it was going to happen. Matter of fact He "arranged" for it to happen so that people will believe the gospel and glorify His name.

That way the people knew that it was God and not the men of God that performed the healing or miracle. This way of the churches of Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher, glorifies man the creature not God the Creator **(Romans 1:25...Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator...)**. Can you imagine the disciples of Jesus Christ compiling a statistical list of how many lame people, lepers, demon possessed and oppressed people are around waiting for Christ to come and heal them and then holding these affliction placards behind the afflicted as they waited for Him to pass their way?

I cannot, because the scripture says that when Jesus Christ walked by, the sick and afflicted cried out to Him for help and He stopped, turned and listened to their cry for help and healed them all. Some did not even bother to cry out to be heard by Jesus Christ they just touched Him by faith, and received their healing. In all these incidences, the name of God only was glorified **(Acts 4:21 ...for all men glorified God for that which was done...)**.

**c) HAND AND FEET MOTIONS** : I believe this is the most blatant evidence of the link between Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher as well as all other such ministers where ever they in the world. Just like I wrote in my findings in "ye shall know the truth", the hands and feet which Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher are using to perform healing and miracles on people are very suspicious indeed. I will not dwell too much on this topic because I have commented on these foot and hand motions before.

I mainly want to emphasize on the link between the two faith healers. These strange and peculiar hand and leg motions have absolutely no scriptural basis as it is purely and truly demonic. We need only to observe both the prophet and pastor in action using their hands and especially their feet to see the perfect link between their modes of operation. This points to the fact that it is one and the same spirit that is using both preachers. These things are spiritual, but for the Christians who need solid evidential proof, let me add this.

Whenever they see such faith healers in action, they should meticulously study the "hand and feet" motions of these faith healers when they are performing their tricks with an open mind. Pay very close scrutiny to their fingers (the way they oscillate or vibrate to and fro), whenever they stretch forth their hands towards people in an attempt to heal them. To me it looks like they are trying to perform an invisible surgery on the people or should I say patients? After considering these evidences, feel free to draw your own conclusions. As for me, they would be better off working as magicians instead of men of God.

The vibrating or oscillating fingers that they use to invisibly force out sicknesses and diseases right out of their hapless "patients" reminds me of a magician performing a trick or an illusion. Their feet which they also use as a virtual or invisible "trip wire" to force people to trip or fall down, reminds me of a Tango dancer jn action. Evidently, these types of acts cannot be found with true prophets of God anywhere in the Bible. They are obviously not of God but of the devil as it was with the false prophets in Syria in the days of Elisha the prophet of God in Israel.

(2Kings 5:10-12...And Elishah sent a messenger unto him (Naaman the leper) saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, he will surely come out to me, and stand, and call upon the name of the Lord his God, and STRIKE (shake or vibrate) his hands (and fingers) over the place, and recover the leper (just like the false prophets in Syria). Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? May I not wash in them and be clean? So he turned and went away in rage...)

Note: the compelling scriptural proof above reveals a deeper insight of this questionable vibrating or shaking of the hands and fingers to heal in the story of Naaman the leper in Syria who came to Elishah the prophet in Israel expecting the true prophet of God to perform the same type of "false healing" practice that he was accustomed to observing with the false prophets from his home country in Syria, who were wont to be "vibrating, shaking or striking" their hands and fingers over the hapless people (lepers) they were administering their false healings to as described above.

**d) HOLY SPIRIT COMMENTATOR** : this is a very strange phenomenon indeed. At first I thought it was a thing only peculiar to Prophet Josiah's church (see "ye shall know the truth"), but I found out that Pastor Christopher's church is also practicing it. This is about "someone" actually knowing what the Holy Spirit is doing and how He does it, during the deliverance and healing sessions in the church. This needs to be seen and heard in the light of the scriptures for one to really understand what I'm trying to say

A typical example was when I witnessed Prophet Josiah heal a man whose left hand was paralyzed. As usual, he started to oscillate and vibrate his fingers over the paralyzed hand and while he was doing it, the apparently lifeless hand of the man began to move in harmony with the movement of the prophet's hand. If the prophet raised his hand, the man's paralyzed hand will be raised of it's own accord. If the prophet lowered his hand, the paralyzed hand will then automatically lower itself.

While this "Hand Tango" was going on, the "Holy Spirit commentator" started to rap to the beat. Telling us or explaining to us rather, what was going on deep inside the man's paralyzed hand. He started by telling us how the Holy Spirit of God had taken control of the hand and how the hand was now filled with life and power as the apparently paralyzed hand began to move up and down. The minute the apparently paralyzed hand danced upwards and downwards in sync with the "conducting fingers" of the prophet, the "Holy Spirit commentator" will then begin to rap and rave about how the Holy Spirit is flowing through the hands and body of the man, healing and revitalizing all the dead cells of the paralyzed hand.

He continued to rail and rant on and on till he reached a crescendo. Timing it perfectly with the exact moment the man now stretched out his hands fully, signifying that he had been completely healed. At the behest of the commentator, everyone started to applaud the Holy Spirit for the marvelous work He had done. Trust me, a football commentator will turn green with envy if he hears the "Holy Spirit commentator" rapping to the beat. I wonder if they are specially trained to run commentaries like that. I call stuffs like that, **Satanic Show-Biz!**

Now this same practice is also being duplicated in Pastor Christopher's church. I know for a fact that it is not by accident or coincidence that both these churches once again happen to share a peculiar modus operandi (mode of operation). Seriously speaking, who can know exactly how the Holy Spirit works in the human body when He commences to heal us? **(Romans 11:33....how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways are past finding out!...)**. It is such a ludicrous and ridiculous practice, but people as I observed just seem to take it for granted as if it is scriptural.

Let me play this particular scenario in the acts of Peter and John at the temple gate when the man born lame was healed The minute Peter spoke to the lame man and commanded him in the name of Jesus Christ to rise up and walk. Can you Picture John (who wrote of the Book of Revelation) running a commentary for the benefit of those people standing by how the Holy Spirit is flowing from the lame man's body to his thighs, his knees, his ankles, his feet and then to his toes before finally the lame man started to hop and leap shouting "I am healed praise the LORD"?

I honestly cannot figure that out, because the Bible says that it all happened suddenly, instantly, immediately **(Acts 3:7b...And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and "immediately" his feet and ankle bones received strength...)**. When truly it is God that is healing you according to the scriptures, there is no time for a commentator or moderator to be running sound bytes about it, because it happens in the twinkle of an eye. Faster and quicker than any human can run a commentary on it. But of course when it's Satan that does the healing: it's Show time! All the devil is interested in is acts of magic so as to make you believe what you see. As the philosophers say; "seeing is believing" But I thank God that the Bible says: **...blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed John 20:29!**

If you really want to know how the Holy Spirit heals, read the Bible, and find out how. The healing of God through the Holy Spirit happens in split seconds. Before you know it, the sickness or affliction is gone. Sometimes, you do not even know it's gone before you realize it's truly gone. When the healing wings of God roosts on you **(Malachi 4:2...unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings...)**. The power of the Holy Spirit will completely overshadow you **(Luke 1:35...The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee...)** ; and in that same instant, whatever ails or plagues you will completely disappear without a trace from inside your body **(Isaiah 53:5c...and with his stripes we are healed...)**.

Remember the woman with the blood issue? Virtue departed from Jesus Christ meaning the Holy Spirit overshadowed her as was in the case of Mary and she felt instantly that she was healed. Check the healing that occurred in the Bible, you will find that the people were all healed immediately or straightaway as the Bible puts it. So any where we see apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors or healers or whatever they may call themselves, healing people with flair and flourish and a commentator or show presenter to make it more spicy and dramatic, recognize it for what it is; it is nothing but entertainment or what I personally call "Satan's show- biz time". Brethren, flee from such gatherings! Also openly reprove them for what they are doing, for this is scriptural **(Ephesians 5:11...And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them...)**. Do not let anyone discourage you by telling you that you are judging them, because you are not!

Judging is and only is when you say that so and so person will go to hell fire because he or she did such and such thing **(Hosea 4:4...let no man strive, nor reprove another...)**. But if you reprove them for their evil acts, you are simply obeying the scriptural injunction of trying to correct them in love and perhaps they will then repent of such acts **(Titus l:13...Wherefore reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith..). But if they do not repent of such acts, let God be the judge of their outcome in life. We should not as Christians presume or pre-judge them as destined for destruction, for that is wrong and wholly unscriptural (Matthew 7:l...judge not, that ye be not judged...)**.

If you caught a man who actually stole something and you called him a thief (meaning a person who steals). Have you judged him? The answer is no because you only spoke the truth about that person by exposing and identifying him as a thief because he stole. Now if that man was arrested, charged to court and sentenced to jail for stealing by a Presiding Judge. That is what is called judging or a judgment. The Word judging means to determine the result or outcome of something.

Now as Christians, when we see a person committing evil acts and we speak out against it. We have not judged that person. It is only when we go further to say that God should punish the person or that the person will surely go to hell because of what he or she did that we have passed a judgment. Then we are guilty of judging others. Just as only the judge in a courtroom is qualified to pass judgment on the criminal acts of the accused. So also it is only God that is qualified to judge the sinful acts of men.

This leads me to conclude that if I call a man a thief because he stole, I have not judged him. I have only spoken the truth about him to expose and identify him for who he is. But if I say that the thief should go to jail because he stole, then I have judged him. That according to the scriptures is sinful.

Remember when the Jews brought the adulteress before Jesus Christ and demanded of Him that she should be stoned to death according to the Law of Moses. Note Jesus Christ did not reprove them for correctly exposing and speaking out against the woman's evil act. He only reproved them for their passing a death sentence or judgment on the woman **(John 8:7b...He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her...).**

THE EXIT

My leaving Prophet Josiah's church after two weeks was both pre-planned and premeditated After I had completed my fact finding mission (ye shall know the truth), I knew I had to get out of that church and there wasn't such a problem in my leaving. As I was not held captive against my will (though I was censored) and I could go any time I wanted to. Though as at that time, I did not reckon with the spiritual consequences. I was faced with the option of leaving the way I came that is by the front door or sneaking out the back door. The latter was not an appealing prospect as by nature I was not the "sneaky-heaky" type of person.

The next day was a Sunday and it was my third Sunday of fellowshipping in that church. So the night before, I packed up my bag and baggage and resolved not to spend that night there.

I planned to go straight to the prophet's office right after service and openly declare to him my intention of resigning as a disciple in his church. Also to present to him a copy of "ye shall know the truth" as my reason for doing so, then pick up my bag and leave. Well so much for my well thought out plan, because all that happened on that fateful Sunday was no where near my carefully planned agenda. While the service was proceeding, I decided to leave the premises of the church and head for my friend's place in town. While there, I recounted all my experiences to this friend who was listened in bewilderment. By the time I returned to the church that evening at about 7p.m because I figured that the service would just be about finishing at about that time, they already had a welcome committee waiting for me.

The security had been alerted to keep watch, while a "wolf pack" of die-hard disciples were avidly awaiting my return (with saliva drooling down their lips); baying and howling for a chance to draw blood as they usually did in such occasions whenever a disciple was in distress as it was in my case. For I had broken a golden rule of the prophet by leaving the premises of the church without permission and these blood hounding disciples knew that the consequences were dire. But I didn't give a toss because I knew I was on the way out myself and for me it was even a better chance to confront the prophet with my findings in "ye shall know the truth".

Their accusatory line was that I left the church without permission from the prophet. My defense line was that I went out to contact my people outside and no one including the prophet himself listened to my cries for two weeks for the permission to call or contact my people outside. They couldn't counter that so they all kept their mouths shut. Finally the prophet sent a messenger to me that should part ways as his disciple but that I can continue to fellowship in his church from the outside and he would be obliged to minister to me in anyway that he could whenever I wanted to see him. But for flouting his orders, I could no longer stay on as a disciple. Excuse Me? That suited me just fine as if I too would be obliged to be ministered to by so to say, a "False Bantu Prophet". The prophet still refused to see me though, thereby denying me the pleasure and opportunity of confronting him with the truth of his satanic lies!

So I grabbed my bag, and entered a cab and zoomed out of the church naively thinking that, that was the end of it all. Little did I know that it simply heralded a whole new set of spiritual experiences or should I say attacks? I think the appropriate word should be "Spiritual Backlash".

THE BACKLASH

Like I said before, this church is "Satan's Little Baby". The devil will not tolerate any kind of opposition of any sort directed against this particular church. Matter of fact, the only opposition that can stand against this church is one based firmly and solidly on the Mighty Rock, who is Christ Jesus **(1Corinthians 10:4...for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ...)**. Best believe it! I have learned within a short period of time from my own experience and from what I've heard about other people's experiences that Satan is very testy about anyone who openly speaks the truth about the church to expose it. Also anyone who tries to oppose or stand in the way of the church, I have also come to the conclusion that the evil one takes it very personal indeed and viciously attacks such a one both physically and spiritually.

This is the truth! I have not made this up. I too have had a taste of such vicious attacks both physically and spiritually. Especially spiritual battles against the controlling demons in that church. I thank my Lord who has given me victory upon victory over these demons every single time they've attacked me or my loved ones through the precious Name and Blood of Jesus **(Revelation 12:11...And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony...)**.

To explain this further, I want to share the testimony of one of the junior prophets, who was sent on a mission to the church branch in Benin City. He came back one evening and was telling other disciples including myself what happened to them when they were at Benin. According to him, there was a piece of land or something like that the church was developing somewhere in Benin City.

As they, that is, this particular junior prophet and other church members with him, were there, a man walked up to them flanked by two younger men or boys who were as I gathered his sons. He raged and cursed at them asking them who gave them the right to commence development on that land without first consulting him? He claimed to be the local chief in charge of that area and that nothing goes on there without his say so. The church members then told him that they acquired the land legitimately and did not need his permission for anything. When the local chief heard this, his was livid. He got really mad and threatened them, promising them retribution for that affront on his authority. With that he turned and dropped a strange diabolic looking substance on the piece land and stalked off, still flanked by his two sons.

As he stormed off crossing the road still muttering under his breath, all of a sudden, a car appeared from nowhere and with full speed, smashed right into one of his two sons instantly killing the poor kid. According to the junior prophet, the hit and run car did just that; hit the young man and run leaving in it's wake the spangled and mangled body of a dead young man. No one saw or could explain where the car was coming from or where it was going. For all that were there, it could have been a ghost car, but the physical evidence was the crushed body of the local chief's son, sprawled on the high way.

The disciples around me after hearing this testimony were now saying that it was the typical example of the Holy Spirit fighting against the enemies of their church. Then still ignorant of the truth, I wondered to myself if it is true that the Holy Spirit who is indeed God in action **(Gen 1:2c...And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters...)** , will go about killing people in such a gruesome way, just because they oppose the gospel or the ministers of the gospel. Is the gospel not meant for such people in the first place? **(Luke 19:10...For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost..)**.

Is it not true that God loves such people as much as He loves us Christians? **(Romans 5:8...God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us...)**. Is it not also true that it is not the will of God for any of us to perish but to repent? **(2Peter 3:9b...The LORD is...not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance...)**. Has God not made it explicitly clear that He takes no pleasure in the death of a sinner? **(Ezekiel 18:32..For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth [sinner], saith the LORD God...)**.

How then will the same God who is love **(l John 4:16b...God is love...)** , then go around pulverizing those people He is trying to save in the first place, just because they oppose the gospel through blindness and ignorance to the truth?

**(2Corinthians 4:4...In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not...)**. All these things I mused in my mind but kept my musings to myself. Now I know through personal experience that the devil will not tolerate any opposition to this particular church. Whether the opposition is a juju (voodoo) priest or pastor, it really doesn't matter. The evil one will seek to destroy such opposition. That is why my advice to all is this: if you know God has not sent you to fight against Satan and its works in anti-christ churches like that of Prophet Josiah, be it physically or spiritually, please do not take it upon yourself to do so.

No matter how self-righteous you may feel about it, because the end result might be negative. As for me, I know that He who has sent me will fight for me **(2Chronicles 20:15...the battle is not your's, but God's...)**. So before you engage in any spiritual warfare (like praying & fasting) or physical warfare (like speaking out publicly) against these vampire demons in these anti-christ churches. Especially those of the caliber of Prophet Josiah's church please seek guidance from the Holy Spirit, because if you don't, you might be in for a surprise. It is my profound wish and prayer that as many Spirit-filled and Spirit-led believers as possible should go

And wage spiritual warfare on that evil empire that the devil is trying to build right here in this country, Nigeria, through churches like these.

We can defeat the enemy through fasting and prayers and preaching the true gospel of salvation and sanctification in every state, city, town and village. Using every mode and means of communication available, sacrificing our money, effort and time to inform, warn and advice people of the dangers of fellowshipping with such churches not only in Nigeria, but all over the world. Churches that the Bible calls the:

SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN...Revelation 2:9!

THE SPIRITUAL BATTLE

In order to explain what I mean by this topic, I will share some of my own personal experience I had when the demons from Prophet Josiah's church engaged me in mortal combat. The scripture says that they will surely attack me, but I will surely defeat them **(Jeremiah 1:19...And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee...)** , in Jesus Name...Amen!

I cannot tie up any physical evidence against this church, neither do I plan to, as I also know that the church and its members are not the enemies but the presiding and residing evil and wicked spirits there, are indeed the true enemies **(Ephesians 6:12...For we wrestle not against flesh and blood...)**. The things I'm about to say are all spiritual and one has to be spiritually inclined to really grasp or get a grip on what I am about to reveal **.(1Corinthians 2:13...Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual...)**.

**a) NIGHT VISITORS** : the same night that I left the church, I had an attack. They struck as I was lying on my bed. They came as two young Chinese females dressed scantily in white negligee as familiar or seducing spirits. They were lying on my bed, one on each side of me. They were trying their best to seduce me into consensual sex with them. I began to "dilly-dally" as I was undecided. A part of me wanted so badly to have sex with them urging me and telling how good it would feel to have a "ménage a trios" with these two pretty girls. Another part of me struggled against this thought and strongly advised me not to do it and to shun off these ladies.

Unfortunately for me as most young men do, I made the mistake of deciding to indulge in the pleasure of sin **(Hebrews 11:25...to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season...)**. The moment I made that conscious decision to have sex with these evil spirits masquerading as pretty women, something sinister happened! It was if that was the signal, opportunity or doorway they were waiting for through which to launch an attack against me.

Still lying on my bed, suddenly out of my peripheral view on the top corner of my right eye, I saw a shadowy figure. This dark shape looked like it had been standing guard just by the right side of my head near my pillow all the time but managed to stay just outside the periphery of my sight.

This figure whose shape or form I could not make out, suddenly stepped into full view from my right side and still standing beside my bed, raised it's hand high in the air and with a clenched fist, slammed it down and hard on my chest. It all happened in "milli-seconds". What I heard was a loud thump on my chest. It felt like a sledge hammer! Instantly, I screamed out J-E-S-U-S !!! That same instant this creature disappeared **(Proverbs 18:10...The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe...).**

Then I sat up. The minute I came back to my senses, I knew in my spirit that this attack was definitely from the demons controlling Prophet Josiah's church. Now fully awake, I did what every child of God should do whenever they have such attacks. Pray and speak the word of God against every satanic attack as well as bind all satanic activities around you, your family and your loved ones in the Name of Jesus Christ!

**b) SNAKE WOMAN:** this occurred on my third night after leaving the church. This time it was even nastier. But I want to quickly stress this point; the nastier the attack, the greater the victory for every child of God **(lJohn 5:4...whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world...)**. True to the Word of God, they attacked again, but they failed again. I was in the spirit and I found myself standing on a podium facing a congregation. On the same Podium, I saw Pastor Christopher. He was speaking to the same congregation. I had the impression that this congregation were actually his church members and as I walked towards him, still on the podium he backed off from me and then faded out of my line of vision. I then started to preach to Pastor Christopher's congregation telling them that all what he (Pastor Christopher) had been saying were not true and that they should not follow his doctrine.

As I preached I felt the whole congregation listening avidly and believing every word I said. Then I felt like having a break and I went into an inner room near the podium to refresh myself. The minute I entered the rest room, I saw a well- dressed black woman, half-sitting and half reclining on the bed. No Sooner had I stepped in the room, than she started to accuse me, calling me an enemy, telling me that I am one of Prophet Josiah's people. This I vehemently denied asking her if she did not hear my sermon and that I was actually preaching against the same Prophet Josiah and that I only just cam into the inner room to refresh myself.

The woman after hearing me out visibly relaxed and calmed down. This exchange now made me loose my spiritual guard as I thought she was on my side. I too relaxed. The woman then offered me two white pills telling me it was good for me and it would help me kick back and relax. I took the pills from her without thinking and popped them straight into my mouth.

The second I did that, the woman became very glad and happy for inexplicable reasons. While I pondered this, I was about to swallow the pill when a strong voice spoke to my spirit (just like the voice at the altar), commanding me not to swallow the pills. The voice went on to order me not to even swallow the juice of the pill that was mixed up with my saliva.

It was an automatic reaction. The second I heard the voice, I obeyed it. I immediately spat out the two pills in my mouth. As I spat out the pills, I discovered that they were no longer two in my mouth but four. So I spat out the four pills one by one in quick succession. When the woman who offered me the pills saw me spitting out the pills, her countenance changed dramatically, one minute she was very happy and glad, the next minute she was very mean and vengeful. She started to advance menacingly towards me. At first I was scared, so I backed away from her into another room that was next to the room we were in.

The woman still advanced aggressively towards me. The minute she crossed into the threshold of the other room I had already backed into, she metamorphosed! God opened my eyes to see the demon in its true form. It had a feminine shape and its hair was also feminine too. But the uncanny thing about this creature was its skin. The skin was completely like that of a snake (a python to be more precise). It's face, hand, body, breasts, and legs. All of her skin was like the skin of a snake (see illustration). Only her hair was normal and full to her shoulder length.

This snake skinned woman-like creature advanced towards me holding a short zigzag like rod in it's hand, that was pointed at the tip and also was having the same snake-like color. It's intent was, I believe to strike or stab me with the rod it was holding. As I continued to back off in fright, my back hit the wall and I knew instinctively that I had nowhere else to go. The creature thinking it had me trapped, advanced on me. All of a sudden instead of panicking, an inexplicable calm came over me and overwhelmed me, as the peace of God came upon me **(Philippians 4:7...the peace of God which passeth all understanding...)**. All my panic and fear suddenly vanished without a trace.

From nowhere, I decided to "will" this demon to stop. It did so! Just by consciously willing it to stop, this demon simply stopped dead on its track as if paralyzed. Wow! I thought to myself. I could see the snake woman struggling to move, but the invisible force holding her firmly to the floor was too strong for her.

The next thing that happened was all beyond my wildest imagination not to talk of my control. I felt as if something or someone was in me taking charge of all my actions and activities. I then lifted my right hand up and flicked my palm over facing up. The next thing I knew, the creature in subjection to the flick of my palm, was picked up by an unseen force (like you would pick up a rag doll) and made to lie on its back, suspended in mid-air! There was nothing supporting it from beneath and from above it.

It was held up there in mid-air, at about my shoulder height as if strapped to an invisible bed. I watched it struggle in vain to break loose for a few seconds and just as calmly as I had flicked my palm. I half raised my hand like I was taking an oath and then balled my palm into a fist and clenched it. In instant reaction to that palm gesture, the struggling snake-woman demon convulsed and literarily died on the spot! It was like I had squeezed or snuffed out the life from the demon. What was left of it suspended in mid-air, was the "lifeless corpse" of the demon. Praise the Lord!

I must confess that every thing I did was not my own doing at all. But the Holy Spirit in me, fighting for me **(1John 4:4...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world...)**. I had no conscious knowledge of what I was doing at all, I just did it all following a script like reflex action.

Now only a fool would not have known that this particular attack was coming from that church. When the plan to trick me into taking those evil death-pills failed, this "death-wish demon" had no choice but to make a desperate last ditch, do or die attempt to take my life. Probably its master the devil had told it not to come back if it failed. But I thank my Lord my God that: **...I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me...4:13!**

That also includes completely destroying my spiritual enemies who are indeed demons **(Luke 4:34...what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us?...)** ; and sending them to the deep pit **(Luke 8:31...And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep...)**. Where they would be tormented before their time **(Matthew 8:29...Jesus thou son of God ? art thou come thither to torment us before the time?...)**.

Christians should know this fact. The enemy is never flesh and blood but the devil **(1Peter 5:8...your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom to devour...)**. Together with its hosts of fallen angels namely demons **(Ephesians 6:12...For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places...)**.

So please when we petition God to kill and destroy our enemies, we should not include the humans on that list be they witches and wizards, marine spirit possessed people, voodoo / juju priests, occultists, relatives, friends, neighbors, colleagues or people we think hate us and have planned or carried out one sort of evil act against us or the other. As for the human enemies, the Bible says we should pray for them to repent, not pray against them to die **(Matthew 5:44...Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you...)**.

If we as Christians begin to pray that God should kill or execute our neighbor, colleague, friend, family member etc, because we believe that, that person is a witch or is persecuting us, or an evil doer or whatever, it is wrong. God never answers such prayers **(James 4:3...Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss...)**. Note that it is God's will and to God's glory that such people repent and be saved **(1Timothy 2:3-4...For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth...)**.

If they refuse to repent, leave them for God. He alone knows when the cup of an evil doer is full and how and when to kill, judge and punish them according to His will and word **(Hebrews 10:30...Vengeance belongeth unto me...saith the Lord....)**. Besides if God starts killing every one of your enemies that is a

Witch, wizard or whatever in your household or family be they your parents, spouse, siblings, children and so on until they are all dead remaining only you alive, will people not say that you are the witch or wizard who is killing all your family members? How will that glorify God? Or do you think that God is your professional hired-killer or assassin witch-doctor that you can go and tell to be killing people that you want dead at your wish, will and word? God forbid!

So if all the wicked ones who are our enemies in the world die today, who will be left in the world to repent and whom will you go and preach the gospel of repentance to? Tell me, who? Know for a fact that all this "die, die, die" prayers that you praying are an abomination in the ears of God and a sin to your soul. I realized that in the spirit realm that the more I start praying that my human spiritual enemies should die by Holy Ghost fire, the more they waxed stronger to be attacking me viciously. This prompted me to ask the Lord why it was so.

That's when He taught me all these things I am sharing with you now and He confirmed it in the scripture that whenever I prayed such death-prayers I was wising the "curse of death" to the soul of my human enemies which is a sinful offence in His sight and would lead to more negative consequences as He would not regard such evil prayers that evil people tend to pray against people in their occult shrines and temples especially when it was coming from his own children **(Job 31:28-30...This also were an "iniquity" to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above. If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him: Neither have I suffered my mouth to "sin" by wishing a curse to his soul...)**.

So you can now see that it is actually a sin for us to rejoice at the downfall of our fellow human beings not to talk of praying a "prayer of curses" or death against them. Remember Saul the "persecutor" of the followers of Christ, later repented and became Paul the "preacher" of the gospel of Christ. I guess we can imagine how many Christians must have prayed to God to kill and destroy Saul the persecutor. Now if God had answered that prayer, today many of us might not have become Christians, because Paul was ordained to be the preacher of the gospel unto we Gentiles **(1Timothy 2:7...Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle,{I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;} a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity...)**. Our prayer should be that God should have mercy on the evil doers so that they will repent and be saved. When we pray this type of prayer for our human adversaries, the whole "Hosts of Heaven" will be behind us and nothing these people will do against us can prosper **(Isaiah 54: 17...No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper...).**

Let me share a better way of prayerfully dealing with your human enemies be they physical or spiritual as I was taught of the Lord. Re-address your prayers of death against them to a prayer for God to beat, whip, attack, afflict, persecute, plague, torment, terrorize, traumatize and terrify them both physically and spiritually as well as utterly destroy and devastate their kingdoms where they fellowship and obtain their satanic powers from.

That way, your satanic enemies will become very fearful, dreadful and terrified of you and your dangerous prayers against them and their kingdoms most especially when you say such prayers during their primetime of evil acts between 12 am & 3 am in the middle of the night. Then like David you will become a terror to your enemies as you beat them black and blue to submission every night **(Isaiah 19:17...And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt...) & (Psalm 18:42...Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets...)**.

These same people will eventually come and bow down before you in defeat and submission to make peace with you because your way is pleasing to God **(Proverbs 16:7...When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him...) & (Isaiah 45:14c...in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplications unto thee, saying, surely God is in thee...)**. Remember that before peace comes war; so wage war against them spiritually to live physically at peace with them in the world.

That's not all; the blessings of God will then be free to operate on you because whom God has blessed, no man can curse. That's why Balaam told Balak that it was impossible for him to curse the children of Israel, they were too blessed by God to be cursed by anyone **(Number 23:8...How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed?...)**. On the contrary, if we start to pray curses on our fellow humans, we are breaking a spiritual hedge or law **(Ecclesisates 10:8b...whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him...)**. Thereby giving the serpent the devil a doorway to attack us the more, in our family, business, faith life, peace, joy, career, academics and so on.

This is the truth! The devil loves hearing you pray a prayer of curses on your fellow human beings. Because it knows we are leaving our spiritual flanks open, exposed and vulnerable to the attack of the real spiritual enemies. The devil itself and its demons; whom the scripture calls the adversaries to our souls **(Psalm 71:13....Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul...)**. If you want to hate someone and pray curses on them, feel very free to hate and pray curses on the devil and its demons, it's right and scriptural. For they are our enemies and the sworn enemies of God. For them, there is no salvation **(Psalm 139:21-22...Do not I hate them, O LORD that hate thee?....I hate them with a perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies...)** , and please do not forget to hate and abhor sin too. This is mandatory for every true child of God.

**c) THE REMINDER** : I had been putting forward the writing of this book due to reasons I thought were genuine as I was very busy trying to set up a new business idea of mine. But God in His own ingenious way reminded of the commission He had given me in Ephesians 4: 15 (see topic: the censorship). I was in the spirit and I found myself in a strange place and a young lady was saying to me rather frantically, words that sounded like this: "hurry! hurry! they want to kill a light skinned girl at Prophet Josiah's church. Please hurry!" Then she ran past me. As she brushed past me, I then said out loud to myself these words: "I need to go and write this book".

When I became aware of myself, I mulled over it and made no sense out of it. First of all "the light skinned girl" whose name was referred to by the young lady was a mystery to me. I had no idea who that person could be. Only one thing was clear to me about this revelation. I had to start writing this book that I had been reluctant to write. Events that occurred later made me realize that the young lady was actually referring to a close relative of mine, who is indeed light skinned against whom and myself a spiritual attack was launched which provoked me in the spirit to strike back.

So that was how I got tugged on my shirt by the Lord to commence on finishing the mission He had assigned me to do in the first place. From that time on, I started to write the manuscript of my memoirs on the time I spent at Prophet Josiah's church and beyond

It soon became an unfolding story. As a direct consequence of my efforts to pen this memoir, I received a series of brutal spiritual attacks and due their repeated failure, Satan decided to hit me below the belt by targeting my close relative. That relative was the person referred to in that revelation. She was both spiritually and physically attacked. In a particular incident, she narrowly escaped death. All these happened (in confirmation of that revelation) during the time of my writing this memoir. This is the manifestation of a spiritually intense mortal combat. We should not forget that Satan had already lost one of its principal demons in this on going battle (see topic: Snake Woman) and was now trying to take my life or the life of my loved one at all cost. The stakes are high, but I know I am serving the living God and victory is more than assured and guaranteed **(Romans 8:37...in all these things we are more than conquerors...)** , in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

**d) MR LONG HANDS** : this attack was the spiritual proof to me that Prophet Josiah knows pretty well that Satan resides and presides over his church. In other words he is "chin-deep" in the muddy waters of the devil. The attack came at a time I began to write this memoir, long after I'd left his church. It also made me realize the devil was not too impressed with my decision to finally obey the instructions of the Lord to write this book. This time, I saw Prophet Josiah in the spirit. He was casually dressed in T-shirt standing in front of me rather belligerently and menacingly. Everything about him was normal except for his hands. They appeared normal except that he had extra hands that started as an out growth from his elbows. These extra large and long hands were twice the size of his normal hands and reached almost to the ground like a Gorilla's hand. Only these were much bigger. They moved the way a puppet's hand on strings moved. As he faced me, he lifted up his gigantic hands and was trying to gain control over me from afar off with the movements of his long hands, just as he does with his hands to people in his church.

Try as much as he could, he couldn't get a grip on me. I too had started praying against his attacks. Then I began to pray curses against him, that God should destroy him and strike him dead. When I said this, I noticed that it seemed to give him even more power and impetus and he was now able to attack me still using those long hands with more intensity. When I realized that my prayer of curses and death was counter productive and making him stronger against me, I quickly repented immediately of that type of death-prayer and began to plead the Blood of Jesus! Right then, I regained the upper hand in this strenuous spiritual struggle. As soon as he realized the futility of his attempts to subdue me with his long hands, he turned to his right and right there in front of me was this same beloved relative of mine. Prophet Josiah began to furiously attack her the same way he did me. But my relative started repeating out loud: the Blood of Jesus! Then Prophet Josiah failed again.

Realizing his complete failure in attacking both my relative and I, he then swiveled to his right again and there walking towards us, from a distance was a young female I did not know. He now faced this mysterious lady with full force and gyrated his huge hands in a puppet-like fashion against the hapless young lady. She was helpless and powerless as Prophet Josiah had full control of her. As he gyrated his hands from left to right, the young lady was tossed from the left to the right too. All these went on as I stood by and watched the satanic show unfolding before me which was exactly what was initially intended for me.

Soon I realized that the young lady was in a critical condition that could become fatal. I knew I had to do something fast or she would be completely overwhelmed by the huge hands of Prophet Josiah. All of a sudden I ran to where Prophet Josiah was, pointing to the ground with my pointing finger, I shouted the words: "Holy Ghost Fire!" **(Deuteronomy 4:24...the LORD thy God is a Consuming fire...)** ; and as I got to where he was, I began to run around him in a circle, pointing to the ground with my finger and shouting; "Wall of Fire" repeatedly **(Zechariah 2:5...For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a "wall of fire" round about...)**.

While I was circling Prophet Josiah and pointing to ground and saying; "Wall of Fire", I noticed that, though I could not see any fire, he apparently did see the fire. For he could no longer cross the imaginary circular boundary I had drawn with my finger while I was running around him. No sooner was Prophet Josiah trapped in the spiritual wall of fire that I saw another male figure also trapped in the wall of fire with him.

Though I saw no visual fire, but from their movements, I could see that the fire was actually scorching and burning them and they could not get out of the circular wall of fire. That other male figure was obviously his guardian demon or second personality". An evil spirit that occupies the half of the body of whosoever it possesses. The ones that I call: "Satanic Case-officers". They are powerful demons detailed by Satan to use and control people chin-deep into occultism, marinism and witchcraft. The reason I saw it was because it was trying to escape from the fire of the Holy Ghost that was burning it while it was still occupying the body of Prophet Josiah.

Unfortunately for it, even after leaving the prophet's body, it was still trapped with the prophet inside the wall of fire. Praise the Lord! Time and again the Lord gave me victory over the enemy Satan. One thing gives me confidence and that is the fact that Satan can throw everything it has in its arsenal at me, plus itself and the kitchen sink. When the battlefield smoke clears and the dust settles; I will be the last man standing and laughing in Christ Jesus! Ha! Ha! Ha **! (Ephesians 6:13...that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to "stand"...)**.

For no one can hinder my God designated destiny: **...by the grace of God I am what I am...l Corinthians 15:l0!** My God has assured me that every battle I face against these enemies is not mine but His **(2Chronicles 20:15...for the battle is not yours but God's...)**. So whatever devil or demon that may wish to pick a fight against me has picked a fight against God **(Isaiah 49:25b...for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee...)**. For Jehovah Nissi the Man of war is my strength! On this spiritually high note, I throw this question up into the air, for any Christian brethren to catch: **...If God be for us, who can be against us?...Romans 8:31!**

**e) THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT** : The illustrations depicted in this book are not a figment of my imagination. These are things I saw with my own eyes albeit not with my natural eyes. The same goes for the cover illustration. As for that, I was sitting down meditating on the word of God one cool afternoon, when the Lord opened my spiritual eyes to see this revelation.

I saw in a very clear vision, Pastor Christopher in a white suit (the real pastor actually frequently puts on white suits, even on television) standing in what looked like a road that was also a shallow valley. He was at the helm of a multitude of people with blurred faces. But I could make out that they were multi national and multi racial. He was in reality, leading them through this shallow valley. A valley the word of God calls the valley of decision **(Joel 3:14...Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision...)**.

When I looked up, I saw hovering over Pastor Christopher and this horde of people what was a very sinister looking demon that was acting as a guiding spirit floating right over them. The impression I had of this demon was that of a shepherd watching over his flock. This evil spirit had a paper-white face that was wizened and wrinkled. It had very large floppy ears like that of a bat and a completely baldheaded, without even a strand of hair sticking on it. Its scalp was all furrowed and wrinkled and over its shoulder, it had on a pitch black cape that reached down from its neck and completely covered its feet. The cape or mantel reminded me of the same black mantel that we see Dracula wearing in vampire movies. Just as only the whitish face of Dracula was visible within the black cape so also was the face of this demon. What was the most striking thing about this creature was its eyes. They were huge and bright ruby red eyes that looked like flames. It stared down at the people in the valley beneath it with a very watchful eye. That is why I presumed it to be a Vampire Spirit.

I chose this vision as the cover for the book, because it best describes the whole message I am trying to convey and also it is the spiritual truth! These are the sorts of evil spirits leading antichrist churches like those of Prophet Josiah and Pastor Christopher. By controlling the leaders of these churches, these vampire spirits in turn guide their followers in the way that Satan (the destroyer of men) wants them to go in the valley of decision.

Once again, my sincerest wish and prayer for them is that God will make them know the truth:

... **Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free... (John 8:32)**

Vampire Demon Illustration

The title of this book, Synagogue of Satan is obviously not given in a derogatory or condemning way. But in a candid, honest, frank and sincere assessment of the truth behind the lie that Satan has managed to blind multitudes of people with in churches like these all over the world. Now in a proper court of law, most of all I have said will not stand up against any half-witted cross-examiner.

Nevertheless, this is not a court of law, though we are all entitled to our own personal opinions, we should remember that the Kingdom of God is not about courts of law and personal opinions, but about heaven and hell; or simply put, God and Satan. That's it! In a nutshell, it's all about a choice between two options only; eternal life and eternal death **(Revelation 20:14-15...This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire....)**.

There is no sitting on the fence in issues like this. At any given point in our Christian faith, we are either obeying God or obeying Satan. We cannot obey both at the same time **(Matthew 6:24c...No man can serve two masters...Ye cannot serve God and mammon...).** This is the truth!

Whether we are aware of it or not, we are doing either one of these two things every waking and sleeping moment of our entire life. Obeying God or obeying Satan.

That's why the scriptures say we should not sit on the fence but choose whom we want to serve **(Joshua 24:15a...And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve...)**.

This is an Endtime Message of Truth to Non-christians and to Christians most especially. I pray that we will make a quality choice as Joshua did: **(...Joshua 24:15c...but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...)** In Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...Amen!

GOD BLESS YOU!!!
