SCRIPTURES

Exodus 22:18, 2Chronicles 33:6, 1Samuel 15:23, Acts 8:9,11; 2Kings 9:22, Micah 5:11-12, Nahum 3:4-5, Galatians 3:1, Daniel 2:2,10, Deuteronomy 18:10, Numbers 23:23, Ephesians 6:10-18, Leviticus 20:26-27.

UNDERSTANDING THE ROOT OF WITCHCRAFT

Witchcraft is the practice of magical skills and abilities in order to commune with spirits, deities, ancestors and also cast spells, hexes, jinxes. It means practicing divination in order to manipulate, control, derail, exchange, and divert people’s destiny, blessing and favour. Witchcraft can also be described as an act of diversion by manipulation in order to control a person’s willpower. Witchcraft operates in the realm of darkness and the word of God includes it in the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). When a man is manipulated to do what he doesn’t want to do, it is called witchcraft. Witchcraft has its roots from the ancient days. We can see in the old testament book of Exodus 22:18, God Almighty was commanding the people of Israel not to allow witches to exist among them and also in Leviticus 20:26-27, God commands that witches should be stoned to death. This simply means that witchcraft is part of ancient history and the judgment for such individuals or persons is death. God does not establish witchcraft or rebellion and so we must not allow it in any area of our life.

UNDERSTANDING THE CATEGORIES OF WITCHCRAFT

There are two categories of witchcraft

  1. Fleshly or Carnal witchcraft
  2. Occultic Witchcraft

FLESHLY OR CARNAL WITCHCRAFT

Fleshly or carnal witchcraft practice in so many ways which are:

  • a) Stubbornly pursuing someone to cause destruction or damage (Exodus 14:22-27)
  • b) Attempting to read the mind of another person, thereby misinterpreting his intents (1Samuel 7:28-29)
  • c) Attempting to prove your worth through the manipulation of others.
  • d) Attempting to influence someone in a negative way to do something against his will (Genesis 39:7-12).
  • e) Taking what belongs to someone forcefully or unlawfully. (1Kings 21:1)
  • f) Wishing other people’s blessing are yours and your failure theirs.(1Samuel 18:6-9).
  • g). Rebellion against God and his appointed authority. (1Samuel 15:15-24.).

 

OCCULT WITCHCRAFT

Occultic Witchcraft is a practice through the aid of satanic power, these are some of their ways of operations.

  • a) To Monitor a person’s destiny with the aid of satanic power.
