A thirty five years old woman suddenly left her husband and two kids. She embarked on a journey to an unknown destination. As expected, seconds rolled into minutes and minutes rolled into hours and hours rolled into days and days rolled into weeks and weeks rolled into months, yet, the woman had not been found despite the huge amount of material and human resources deployed toward the discovery of her whereabouts.
Unknown to her husband and the police department, she had relocated to the home of her husband’s best friend who resides a thousand kilometers away. Meanwhile, her husband’s best friend was duly mobilized and had joined his friend in the search for the missing wife. Unfortunately, he had another sinister motive. He had traveled over the weekend to meet his friend in a secret location. His grieving friend did not inform anyone about the planned meeting. As fate would have it, he was murdered in cold blood. He had perfected the murder to the extent that no one can trace it to him.
The two innocent Kids ended up in an orphanage pending the reappearance of their missing mother. Six months later, he decided to also get rid of his late friend’s wife – his lover, who was five months pregnant. He succeeded in luring her to a lonely path where he killed her without leaving a trace.
No one knows the reason for his wicked acts – maybe he was depressed as a result of being a widower who had recently lost his beloved wife or he just decided to play some pranks. However, one thing is sure – the fact that he successfully covered his tracks implies that his action was deliberate. Yes, he deliberately chose to be wicked.
The story of man and wickedness is a peculiar one. It is like the story of monkeys and the bananas. It appears no one can separate them. Some folks believe separation is possible while others do not think so. Let us commence the journey to find out whether wickedness can be separated from man or not.
The story of creation shall serve as our lead. When God created man, His primary purpose was for man to fellowship with him and to have dominion over every other thing He created. This prompted Him to warn Adam, the first man, to avoid the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:16-17). “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Unfortunately, Adam’s wife fell for the antics of the serpent and she ate the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:1-7). “NOW THE serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and atree to bedesired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”
Eve’s action and the subsequent presentation of the fruit to Adam effectively changed the plan and purpose of God for man. Instead of the usual fellowship and blessings, man attracted curses upon himself. As a result of this, wickedness gained an inroad and was firmly established in man. Genesis 3:8-17 aptly described God’s pronouncement on the fallen man. “And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked: and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”
The curse from the Almighty God was firmly rooted in Adam and Eve. Unfortunately, the evidence of wickedness manifested in the life of Adam’s first son – Cain, who killed Abel – his brother as a result of undue jealousy (Genesis 4:1-8). “AND ADAM knew Eve his wife;and she conceived and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? And why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.”
As a result of Abel’s death, the Almighty God cursed Cain (Genesis 4:11-12). “And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto theeher strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.”
The curse upon the life of Cain propelled man to greater levels of wickedness as exemplified by man’s inhumanity to man. Also, we can rightly say that the days are evil as a result of the volume of evil (wickedness) that are daily unleashed on humanity from all nooks and crannies of the world.
At this point, let us define the concept of wickedness. In the contest of this book, a wicked fellow is a sadist who profits from other people’s sorrow. Going forward, I believe the time is apt for us to introduce a superior type of wickedness which emanates from the kingdom of darkness. It is the wickedness domiciled in Satan (Devil) and its agents. We must note that Satan served as God’s choirmaster in the beginning but due to his plot to be like God, he was thrown out of heaven along with other fallen angels who were loyal to him (Isaiah 14:12-14). “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne abovethe stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be like the most High.”
The fact that Satan (Lucifer) wanted to usurp God’s power by aspiring to be like God led to his expulsion from heaven. When he was expelled, God did not grant him the opportunity to repent. His expulsion was instant. As a result of this, he became the arrowhead of the kingdom of darkness (wickedness). He set up a parallel government to oppose everything godly.
At this point, we must also note that he oversees a well organized network of wickedness in high places which consist of fallen angels, demons and human agents. At this point also, we must note that wickedness is the currency of the kingdom of darkness.
From the foregoing, wickedness is the principal attribute of their kingdom. In essence, it is the air they breathe. In fact, it propels them to higher levels in their kingdom. For them, more wickedness signifies more promotion.
In our daily lives, Satan and its agents have found a strong alibi in the natural man. As a result of the fall of man, man has become an emblem of wickedness. His thoughts have increasingly become more energized by wickedness. The Bible aptly allude to this fact in Genesis 6:5. “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
The principal focus of this book is to bring to the fore, the plan of Satan in association with its physical and spiritual agents. Please come along with me as we expose the activities of the kingdom of darkness (wickedness). It is my hope and belief that those who belong to this kingdom will ultimately make a u-turn and embrace the kingdom of light. For those who are already on the right track I am sure you are on a journey to gather experiences that will be useful in the course of your walk with man and God.
In conjunction with the natural man, Satan and its agents have grievously infiltrated the human race to the extent that every sphere of life has been touched by their activities. We must remember that the primary focus of the kingdom of darkness (wickedness) is to run a parallel government to the kingdom of light with the sole aim of getting as many souls as possible to end up in hell. In essence, the gladiators in the kingdom of wickedness are satisfied with being hell bound and are ever ready to unleash mayhem on whoever they have the capacity to afflict. However, we must note that their primary targets are heaven bound souls. They daily carry out their plans through very aggressive recruitment drive. Humans are daily manipulated, deceived or forced to enlist in the ever growing army of the wicked.
Unfortunately, as a result of satanic craftiness, many people are daily being ferried through deceit into joining the army of the wicked. As a result of this, Satan utilizes people who daily portray themselves as agents of light. They deceptively confine themselves to the world of make-belief by deliberately portraying themselves as opposites of who they really are. They have become notorious for increasingly hiding their wickedness even in the assembly of the righteous so as to seamlessly deceive the elect.
In today’s world, in one way or the other, everyone deals with the consequences of the actions of the kingdom of darkness. In some cases, children have become ready tools in the hands of gladiators in the kingdom of darkness. Their recruitment ensures a solid presence in homes. Also, many recruits have positioned themselves in strategic positions in places of worship. Their aim is to continually institutionalize Satan’s principles which includes to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10 ). “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” We are also rightly admonished in 1 Peter 5:8 to be sober and vigilant concerning the devil (Satan). “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
Obviously, every wicked act has an underlying but active connivance of Satan and its agents. The natural man moved deeper into associating with the devil after Cain killed Abel. The activities of demons have become so potent and popular to the extent that they have become the new normal. Individuals who refuse to join the bandwagon have been reduced to mere objects of ridicule. Unfortunately, wickedness has progressively transformed itself into a needed friend in every fabric of human existence.
Permit me to share a few personal experiences to buttress this point. In our daily lives, every home witness some measure of evil acts (wickedness) propelled by Satan and its cohorts in collaboration with human agents. A typical example is the incidence of witchcraft. Obviously, no one wants to be publicly identified as a practitioner of wickedness. We must admit that their presence has virtually permeated many homes. The result is the unleashing of poverty, pain and sorrow in every facet of human existence.
At this point, you may want to ask – Who is a witch/wizard? The answer is simple – They are human beings who have willingly or unwillingly joined the army of Satan to unleash sorrow and poverty on the society through their wicked acts. We must remind ourselves that a witch is female while a wizard is male.
In complete association with the devil, they have acquired negative spiritual powers that are ordinarily beyond the scope and realm of ordinary folks. The powers so acquired through sundry means, gives them the leverage to cause harm through spiritual means. Oftentimes, they have acquired the capacity to exit their natural bodies at night in the form of spirits who readily transform into animals like birds, cats, ants, cockroaches, etc, to plan and carry out clandestine objectives. Usually, their main purpose is to cause pain and sorrow. Also, on a regular basis, they plot the downfall of everyone who belongs to the kingdom of light (righteousness).
Let me share a life experience with you. A few years ago, a woman in the third trimester of pregnancy joined my local church. At every point she feels unwell she beckons on me to pray for her. As expected, after every prayer, she gets well. Unfortunately, a few weeks later, she returns to the table of sickness. I had believed that her condition was neutral until I was opportune to stroll along the front of her house en route my house while coming from an outing. As soon as I saw her in front of her house the Holy Spirit prompted me to ask her the age of her pregnancy. I was utterly surprised when she said her pregnancy was ten months old. At that point the Holy Spirit informed me that she had been a victim of satanic manipulation (witchcraft). Subsequently, I ministered a short prayer and left for my residence. However, as I made progress along the path to my residence I suddenly found myself reciting a song that had strangely hijacked my being – “Ten months pregnancy in my parish, ten months pregnancy in my parish, ten months pregnancy in my parish…” As soon as I got home and dropped the small parcel I had purchased in a grocery store, I automatically made a u-turn en route to the woman’s residence. Unfortunately, as soon as I got there her son informed me that she had embarked on a journey outside the house a moment before. I instantly asked him to quickly beckon on her to return home.
A short while later she had arrived and I instructed her son to get me water in a cup. I thereafter issued a decree. I asked the water to go into the woman’s body cells and flush out all hindrances to safe childbirth in the mighty Name of Jesus. After the prayer, I asked her to drink the water and to the glory of God in less than twenty four hours after she had drunk the water she gave birth to a baby boy. As expected, after she had been delivered of the baby she was informed by the midwife that her placenta had decayed beyond human comprehension and that her survival was a miracle. The question that may arise at this point is – Why was she afflicted? The answer is simple – The gladiators in the witchcraft kingdom wanted to kill her and her baby so as to afflict her family with sorrow.
Going forward, the kingdom of darkness (wickedness) does not readily give up on their target(s). In fact, they went ahead to attack the woman a few days after childbirth. She suddenly became ill and was hospitalized. In the evening of the first day at the hospital, a series of tests were administered on her. Among the tests was the Hematocrit test or PCV test. The Packed Cell Volume test is usually done to diagnose Polycythaemia, Dehydration or Anaemia in patients. The normal value for a woman above eighteen years old is between 35% - 47%. When the woman’s PCV test results was ready, it was found to be 20%. The result clearly placed her in a near critical status. However, as she was about to sleep at night she decided to pray. At that time she remembered that a copy of my book – Power of Spoken Word Practically Demonstrated was with her. She simply placed her palm on my picture at the back of the book and prayed – “I do not have my Bible here but I join my faith with that of my pastor. By the time I wake up tomorrow morning my PCV would have become normal in Jesus Name Amen.”
Fortunately, as soon as the doctor arrived in the morning he ordered for a repeat PCV test. At the end of the exercise, the result baffled the doctor when he was informed that the PCV is 44%. In fact, he ordered for a repeat of the process and the result remained the same. Going forward, the woman had already regained her health and was already basking in the euphoria of good health. She was not surprised when the doctor signed her discharge paper.
At this point, I am sure you will agree with me that there are powers and there are powers but the power of the positive supernatural (righteousness/light) is superior to the powers of darkness (wickedness). No wonder the Bible clearly stated in Colossians 2:15. “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” The woman’s experience is a clear testament that forces beyond the natural man are actively involved in the manipulation of lives on a daily basis. The Bible aptly agrees with this notion in 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.”
Let me further buttress this fact by using my personal experience. A few years ago, I was alone in my car while driving from Abuja – Nigeria’s federal capital city to Jos in north central Nigeria. It was on a highway and I was travelling at 120 kilometers per hour. At a particular point I noticed the bus a few meters ahead of me had suddenly increased its speed and had also left its lane for the lane of an oncoming heavy duty truck that was fully loaded with petroleum products. As soon as I realized the folly of the bus driver, I knew it was going to be a narrow escape for me considering my speed and proximity to the bus and truck. As expected, it appears I was dreaming until I witnessed the highly impactful head on collision. Unfortunately, the impact had thrown some of the body parts of the bus toward my car and had cracked my front windscreen. As I maneuvered my way out of the spot, I noticed that my car had been generously sprayed with diesel from the truck. At that point, I knew that I needed to proceed to a safe distance in order to avoid being engulfed with fire. As expected, everyone in the bus and truck were burnt beyond recognition. I remember hearing from the Holy Spirit – “You are the target. The bus driver had been possessed by evil spirits (demons) who ensured he accelerated while facing an oncoming diesel laden truck with the intent of spraying your car with diesel for an eventual fire outbreak that was supposed to set you ablaze.” After the incident, I was so saddened because many lives were sacrificed simply because Satan and its agents wanted to terminate my life. This is a clear case of wickedness in high places.
In the valley of wickedness, Satan holds sway. He is the undisputed king of wickedness. Everywhere is dark in the valley. Meetings and strategy sessions are a daily occurrence. Also, punishments are meted out to deserving members. We must note that in the kingdom of darkness (wickedness), failure is often visited with very draconian penalties. Everyone is expected to function according to laid down rules as a result of the limited time available for Satan and its agents to win as many souls as possible to their side.
The valley of wickedness is made up of specialized groups. They operate in three realms. The realms are – the air, water and land. Regardless of where they operate, their motto is simply to win as many people as possible to their side toward the ultimate journey to hell. They pursue their vision and mission so aggressively because of the limited time that is available to them.
As earlier mentioned, in the valley of wickedness, Satan is the supreme ruler. The next in command are the Principalities. Essentially, principalities are fallen angels who are bequeathed with tremendous amount of authority. Next in line to principalities are Powers. Powers are basically very powerful demons. Next in line to powers are the rulers of the darkness of this world. They are a group of demons that are not as powerful as powers. At the bottom of the hierarchy is spiritual wickedness in high places. All human agents in the kingdom of darkness are lower than the group that controls spiritual wickedness in high places.
Going forward, as earlier mentioned, these powers operate in the air, water and land. Let us support operations in the air with a Bible reference. Ephesians 2:2 is quite apt. “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.”
The question that may arise at this point is – Why are they called children of disobedience? The answer is simple – Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit thereby disobeying God’s instruction. Their action gave birth to enmity with God in all ramifications. Genesis 3:10 aptly captured the scenario. “And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” The wicked (darkness) will always run away from light. We must remember that this has been so from the beginning – God divided the light from darkness (Genesis 1:3-5). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God calls the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Going forward, Jesus also categorizes the wicked as enemy of light (John 3:20). “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” This is the major reason why Satan and its agents sometimes disguise as angels of light in order for them to successfully perpetuate their evil agenda. In essence, they have decided to become wolves in sheep’s clothing (Jeremiah 23:14-15 ). “I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth returnfrom his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all theland.” This is a clear indication of the infiltration of the kingdom of wickedness (darkness) into the kingdom of light through the instrumentality of human beings who had fallen as a result of sin. As a result of their sinful state they readily become available tools in the hands of Satan and its agents. Hence, they become wolves in sheep’s clothing. Ultimately, if they do not repent, they will end up in hell with Satan and its agents. Oftentimes, God’s patience gives them the opportunity to make amends. Revelation 2:2 aptly summarizes their lot . “I Know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.”
In the valley of wickedness, tasks are assigned to every member on a daily basis and are also expected to achieve success in all assignments. This is the major reason why they are so business inclined and ruthlessly precise. Success in assigned tasks ultimately positions them for commendation and promotion
At the level of human agents such as witches and wizards, let me give an example of a daily assigned task that is expected to produce the required fruit. It happened a few years ago. I had left my office in Abuja on a tour of some sales channels under my supervision. I had barely gone beyond a distance of two hour’s drive along a lonely stretch on the highway when an aged woman suddenly appeared by the side of the road. She promptly looked toward the direction of my car and pointed a short stick at my approaching car. In fact, from experience, I knew she was pointing an evil scepter at me. As soon as I observed her action I knew she was simply on a mission to donate human blood to their spiritual blood bank. I reasoned intuitively that she had met the wrong candidate. Nevertheless, I drove past her and continued to observe her response through my side mirror. I noticed she shook her head and positioned the scepter by her side after I drove past her. However, after a distance of about 300 meters, I experienced a burst rear tire. This is obviously an indication that the evil powers associated with the old woman had failed to achieve their primary objective but succeeded in getting a tire burst. I simply replaced the tire and continued my journey. Sometimes, I wonder why people leave their homes without being at peace with God. The days are truly evil!
Going forward, Satan and its spiritual agents cannot repent because God did not give them such privilege. However, all human agents in the kingdom of darkness have the opportunity to go through the repentance window if they make themselves available. Oftentimes, people wonder why wicked people make progress in their daily life in terms of political and material prosperity. Yes, you are certainly not alone here! Many folks believe they do not deserve such largesse. However, one thing is certain – God has His ways. For reasons best known to Him, He gives some evil folks a very long rope to climb with the hope that they’ll repent. However, whenever God’s patience is exhausted, He simply sends them to where they belong – Hell.
Let us support this notion with Psalm 92:7. “When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever.” In fact, God is so merciful. He gives them more than enough time to repent because He knows the end of the wicked yet only an absolutely negligible fraction makes use of the opportunity. Psalm 11:6 aptly describes what will befall those who fail to make use of the opportunity. “Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.” This is the major reason why it is not advisable for anyone to envy the wicked. The truth is – they are merely living on borrowed time.
Time in the kingdom of darkness is considered negative because they do not live in light but darkness. Your time can only be positive if you live in the kingdom of light. Righteousness qualifies you for the kingdom of light. We must note that the kingdom of God (Light) will eternally remain as light while the kingdom of darkness will be eternally opened to those who failed to utilize the availability of positive time (light).
Unfortunately, a huge number of people are tempted to continue in sin because of the seemingly long time granted members of the dark world to repent. People with such mindsets are aptly captured in Ecclesiastes 8:11 “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” I must remind such folks that wickedness apparently appears sweet for only a short while but its end is utter helplessness. The wicked ends up in pains and are never able to wriggle themselves out of it. This implies that at the end of the day, the so-called profit of wickedness can be compared to half one second free time in a pain-filled pit that has no end. In fact, the wicked begets a just judgment.
Let us conclude this chapter by affirming the following:
(1) The pains that await the wicked cannot be compared to the temporal/short gains of wickedness.
(2) A wicked soul ultimately ends up as an unlimited fuel in hell.
(3) The earthly euphoria of wickedness lasts only for a moment.
(4) Wickedness ultimately ends in eternal sorrow.
(5) The wicked shall inherit multiple folds of pains they had unleashed on their victims.
(6) The boldness of the wicked fizzles out at the sight of burning hell.
(7) Those who tenaciously hold on to the cup of wickedness usually end up filling it with their own blood.
I have had one on one encounter with members of this group. I have also been involved in deliverance sessions involving their members. I have also had the opportunity of interacting with those who have been delivered from marine spirits. This chapter will bring to bear all of these experiences.
As the name implies, marine spirits reside in water but make use of human agents to carry out the bulk of their activities on earth. Basically, they hold their meetings in the sea and sometimes in other water bodies such as rivers, streams, etc. We must note that the fact that they hold their meetings in water does not confine their activities to water. In fact, most evil that is perpetrated by them occurs on land.
Marine spirits are a group of well organized spirit beings. The marine kingdom is the strongest group in the kingdom of darkness. They are more wicked than witches and wizards. In fact, they are the most wicked group in the kingdom of darkness. They revel in operating secretly because they do not want their activities to come to the open. In fact, they hate being traced or associated with evil. Their double lifestyles are the major reason why they are able to successfully ruin many destinies. They are experts in seamless evil works. We can rightly say that their degree of wickedness is beyond human comprehension.
As earlier highlighted, marine spirits are demonic spirits that mainly reside in the sea and other water bodies. However, they possess human beings in order to carry out their wicked acts on earth. At this point, we must acknowledge the fact that Leviathan is the king of the marine kingdom (Isaiah 27:1 ). “IN THAT day the LORD with his sure and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.” Going forward, let us also buttress the fact that powers exist in the sea by referencing Ezekiel 29:1-3. “IN THE tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: speak, and say, Thus saith the LORD GOD;Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.”
These powers are highly organized. They use human agents to perpetrate wicked acts on earth. They are experts in the art of seduction. In fact, sexual immorality is the main way through which they propagate the cause and growth of their kingdom and also carry out their extremely wicked assignments.
Usually, marine spirits who are in operation in human agents confers the title of marine agent on such fellows. These marine agents presently flourish on earth. Since they hold sway in the sea, rivers, streams and other water bodies, their activities are very noticeable in water laden communities. In fact, they are responsible for the high rate of polygamy and failed marriages, divorce, undue quarrelling, anger, deaths, sexually transmitted diseases and everything that has to do with sexual perversion.
Their mode of operation is simple – meetings are held beneath the sea where they orchestrate their plans and assign roles. The human agents are empowered to carry out assigned tasks.
The marine spirits are also responsible for the temporal growth and downfall of people and nations particularly those who are rich in water resources. This is the major reason why sexual perversion is so prominent in communities that are associated with water bodies.
Usually, through sexual immorality, semen are collected and deposited beneath the sea. The owners of such semen automatically become slaves of the marine spirits and agents. Their lives are subsequently controlled from the bottom of the sea – they become captives of the mighty. In fact, many folks walk about not knowing that their glory has been replaced with emptiness. A huge number of men fall into this category. Their purpose and destiny has been replaced or altered as a result of a few minutes of sexual pleasure.
We must also recognize the fact that Satan, through the marine spirits, has taken advantage of the fact that human beings love sexual and other forms of pleasurable existence. As a result of this, marine agents play vantage roles in the kingdom of darkness (wickedness). We must also note that men also play great roles as agents in the marine kingdom. Such folks go about deliberately polluting girls through gifts and sexual intercourse. In fact, a lot of sexually transmitted diseases are traceable to such interactions. Revelation 17:1 confirms the presence of whoredom in the waters. “AND THERE came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgement of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:”
It has also been discovered that marine spirits are sometimes responsible for bankruptcy and other forms of business failures. Many people who have been held captive as a result of sexual dealings with marine agents oftentimes have their lifespan shortened. Amazingly, some do make sudden material progress – they flourish so rapidly but after a short while of dominating their business segment they die at their prime. Unknown to them, their rise, fall and death had been determined deep beneath the sea where they had been held captive as a result of sexual dealings with marine agents.
The huge power available to marine spirits makes it difficult for them to be easily dealt with. During deliverance sessions they play the hide and seek game so repeatedly. A deliverance minister would need to indulge in prayer and fasting coupled with a strong fellowship with the Lord through righteousness (holiness) before he/she can overpower the marine spirits during deliverance sessions. As earlier highlighted, during deliverance sessions, marine spirits wear the toga of deception. They manifest and deliberately fizzle out as if they have left the candidate being delivered. Their action is simply to fool the deliverance minister. However, we must thank God for the Holy Spirit who reveals all secrets. The “deception bread” presented by the marine spirits is easily identified through discernment.
Now, let us dwell on testimonies of those who had been delivered from marine spirits. Many years ago, I came across a lady – a nurse, who had been delivered from marine spirit. She told me she had been possessed with the spirit while she was in her mother’s womb. She also informed me that she had the power to appear and disappear at will. She also had the power to make her dad prosper and also be in need. She said whenever her father makes her unhappy she simply afflicts him with poverty. She also informed me that she had destroyed many destinies particularly those of men who had engaged in sexual immorality with her. She also informed me that some of her victims are still alive but unfortunately, their life depends on the whims and caprices of the rulers of the marine kingdom because their semen had been successfully deposited beneath the sea.
I associated with another member of the marine kingdom who worked briefly with me many years ago. I had boldly confronted her that she belongs to the marine spirit world. Although she instantly denied being a member of the group but as God would have it, she opened up to me the next day. She said she had been a member of the group for quite a while but she no longer engage in such activities. She also informed me that she had the capacity to move from a shallow river and eventually end up deep beneath the sea. She also said she had slept with men from different races and had afflicted a huge number of them with poverty and terminal illnesses. At a point in one of our numerous discussions, she looked at me straight in the face and described my house, settee and its color. Honestly, at that time I was baffled because she had not been privileged to visit my residence. Unfortunately, despite her confession, the Holy Spirit notified me that she had not left the marine kingdom. She had merely planned to gain my sympathy in order to deal with me at the slightest opportunity. Fortunately, after a while, I could no longer tolerate her excesses and was contemplating how to sack her. I was surprised when she confronted me and told me that I was planning to sack her. She pointedly told me that she would harm me spiritually if I carry out my plan. The rest has become history – Of course, I sacked her because greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). You don’t threaten a covenant child of God because God protects and fights for him (Exodus 14:14). “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
I also came across a former member of the marine world who had been genuinely delivered. She went ahead to expose some of their secrets. She told me that there are different groups in the marine kingdom and that the most wicked members of the marine kingdom hold their meetings in the deepest part of the sea. She also said those with lesser powers occupy the shallow level in the waters. She also informed me that it was not possible for anyone to know all members of the different groups because every group holds separate meetings and they all have specific meeting points in the waters. However, she said in the course of swimming to her meeting venue in the sea, she usually encountered members of other groups who are also on the way to meeting. She also said she regularly sights those who hold their meetings at levels above her own meeting venue but she always focuses on minding her business. She also informed me that sometimes while on her way to meeting beneath the sea she come across a huge number of men who are enclosed in bottles as prisoners but are unable to escape as a result of sexual interactions with marine agents – they have become hopeless captives who are very unlikely to regain their freedom.
Generally, during deliverance sessions, individuals who are possessed by marine spirits manifest mainly by wriggling on the floor like serpents. They are obviously controlled by serpentine spirit. This spirit gives them the characteristic fast fishlike ability to swim. Although they are so crafty and deceptive, I have noticed with experience that they easily manifest when faced with the fire of the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit). At this point, their manifestation is spontaneous and very rapid. This makes them very easy to discern.
Sometimes, members of the marine kingdom appear introverted but in many cases, they are extroverts. Their major currency is beauty, pleasure and all that glitters. They love beautiful ornaments and are extremely worldly and versatile in the art of seduction. They are incurable sexual perverts whose main agenda is the destruction of man.
As a result of the ease at which they manifest during deliverance sessions they wittingly avoid places where they are subjected to impromptu exposures. However, those who are fed up with life as marine agents and wish to be delivered are exceptions to this rule. The most dangerous part of their operation is that many of them come out of the sea and assume human forms in order to carry out specific assignments on land. After they have accomplished their mission, they return to the sea in their original spirit form. Usually, they leave their primary residence only when they need to perform a very difficult task that requires absolute tact and precision. It is obvious that ordinary marine agents (human agents) must have failed while attempting the task. This explains why they are most vicious, precise and timely while accomplishing their mission. They readily abandon their target as soon as they accomplish their goal. In most of the times they simply disappear from the scene without a trace. Also, these categories of marine spirit beings specialize in dealing with difficult pastors who have greatly hampered their activities. Usually, marine agents are sent to such men of God. They appear innocent, gentle, well behaved and religious but deep down, they are ravenous serpents searching for the right cord and time to strike. Eventually, if they succeed in hitting the right cord or if they are close to it, they hit the right button by instantly notifying the marine spirit beings to quickly finish the job. The marine kingdom usually resorts to such practices because the pastor has been bone in their neck. Usually, such men of God have caused monumental damage to their activities on earth. This is the major reason why men of God should have a daily walk and work with God in order to avoid the “sitting on the fence” syndrome. The devil must not be allowed to hold sway in their life and ministry.
In conclusion, this chapter has clearly exposed deep secrets, manifestations and other activities of the marine kingdom. At this point, I am sure you will agree with me that they are propelled by extreme wickedness and are constantly ready to pollute and destroy great destinies with the primary objective of increasing the population of hell.
Wicked folks are people who literally do not believe they have a heart. This is borne out of the fact that the toga of wickedness has transformed their heart into a monster. We can rightly say that they go about their activities with a stony heart. No wonder 1 Thessalonians 5:22 admonished us to abstain from all appearance of evil. This becomes necessary because those who dwell in the sea of evil end up being consumed by their activities to the extent that they get used to it and ultimately see it as the new normal. The tendency for them to begin to see their actions as justified becomes more real.
Since their heart has become stony, compassion for others no longer exist in their consciousness. The quest for self-actualization and self-interest becomes a paramount issue in their daily walk. We must remember that in the beginning, the Almighty God acknowledged the state of the heart of the natural man. In fact, He concluded that wickedness has become so rooted in his heart (Genesis 6:5). “And God sawthat the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” We must note that as long as wickedness is firmly entrenched in the heart, such a heart becomes a stone and a mighty tool in the hands of the devil and its cohorts. Except by divine intervention, such a heart is obviously hell bound.
Let us buttress this fact by considering the travails of Joseph in the hands of his brothers as recorded in the Bible. The fact that he had been a dreamer made him an object of jealousy. Their hatred for him blossomed until it got to the peak when their father (Israel) sent him to go and find out how his brothers were faring with the flock in the forest. Unfortunately, as soon as they saw him from afar they instantly conspired to kill him (Genesis 37:18-20 ). “And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and will say; Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.”
Obviously, you will agree with me that a plot like this can only originate from stony hearts. However, Joseph was fortunate because Reuben and Judah had a different opinion otherwise, he would have been killed (Genesis 37:21-27). “And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again. And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him; And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. And Judas said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? Come, let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be uponhim; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.”
The action of Joseph’s brothers shows that wickedness permeates every home where the natural man holds sway. This is the main reason why Micah 7:6 confirms that a man’s enemies are in his household. “For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.”
The heart of the wicked is tailored to rejoice whenever some other persons are in a state of sorrow. As far as they are concerned, no one should be alright except wicked folks. Let us consider an example of such a heart. In the witchcraft kingdom, the cry of non members strengthens their resolve to do more evil. They are obviously never satisfied with a solo evil act. They are always hungry for more. Unfortunately, their stony heart has been programmed to daily demand for fresh flesh and blood. The urge to kill, daily energizes them. As far as they are concerned, the heart is a mere dark and spiritually nutritious object in the chest of man. The urge to consume it daily drives them to their nocturnal meetings after which they embark on a killing spree.
Let me share a life case with you. It happened a few years ago. I had attended a Sunday evening house fellowship in my neighborhood. After the program, a member of the fellowship rushed home and returned with her guests. She introduced the young couple to me as her colleague at work. She explained that the couple had been grappling with miscarriage. At this point, the couple continued with the story. The young man said they have experienced a couple of miscarriages and that the last incident had been the most painful. He said his wife had been six months pregnant when she went for routine medical examination and was notified by the doctor that the baby in her womb had died and he needed to evacuate the child so as to save her life. The husband was notified and he signed for the evacuation. Fortunately, in the course of carrying out the evacuation, the doctor discovered that the baby was alive and was successfully delivered. At this point, they needed to keep the baby in an incubator so as to survive considering his fragile nature. Unfortunately, the hospital had only two incubators that were already engaged. In the interim, they were advised to seek a hospital that has such a facility. In the course of going around the city, they were unable to get a health facility that has a free incubator. The problem had been compounded by the fact that health workers were on strike. Eventually, they had no other choice but to take the little baby home where he died after a few hours.
As soon as he ended the story, the Holy Spirit ministered to me that it was a case of witchcraft manipulation. I thereafter decided to do the needful. I requested for water and promptly prayed over it. I decree and command the water to go into the lady’s system and flush our every trace of witchcraft impurity and also to fortify her against witchcraft in the mighty Name of Jesus. After the short prayer session I gave her the water to drink and after she had drunk the water they returned to their host. I was surprised a month later when they showed up at my parish during Sunday service. After the service, the husband informed me of his wife’s few weeks old pregnancy. I happily prayed with them and handed over the pregnancy to God. As expected, after nine months the couple was blessed with a baby boy. However, the member of my parish who introduced the couple to me informed me that after the baby clocked three months, a woman in the couple’s neighborhood woke up in the morning and began to confess that she was responsible for the travails of the young couple. She said she was responsible for the miscarriages and also manipulated the doctor to give the verdict that the six months old baby in the womb was dead. She also confessed that she tried several times to kill the three months old baby while he was in the womb but failed to accomplish her intention. After she had made the confessions, she suddenly became mad (insane). Ultimately, although she had brought shame and ridicule to her family, on compassionate grounds, they made provision for her to be transferred to a psychiatric hospital.
The lessons here are simple and germane – the woman, being a member of the witchcraft kingdom had killed the innocent babies (miscarriages) with her powers but when confronted with the power of the Holy Spirit, righteousness began to speak and the evil power domiciled in her had no other choice but to succumb to defeat. I am sure everyone who witnessed the evil confessions learnt valuable lessons.
Regardless of our travails on earth there are always two sides to every issue. In fact, some issues are multidimensional. I want you to know that the title of this chapter may appear weird but the truth will always remain constant. You may decide to shift the goal post on a football field to different parts of the pitch but as long as you have not gone beyond the space allotted for a standard pitch, the fact that you are on a football pitch has not changed. It is on this premise that I want to address the title of this chapter.
At this point, you may begin to rightly wonder and also ask yourself this question – Are there gains in wickedness? Sure! Why did I say so – You know what? The pain of some folks is gain to some other folks. In other words, in the kingdom of darkness, the happiness of their target(s) represents sadness to them. Also, any incident that brings sadness to their target(s) represents a happy moment for them. Let us give an example. Let us assume your finances fluctuate regularly as a result of spiritual manipulations. Your pains are their gains whenever you find yourself at the bottom of the financial ladder. Let us also consider the fact that you struggle to climb up again and they allow you to get to the middle of the ladder before they strike again and you find yourself back to the miserable bottom. At this point, you must admit the fact that the wicked folks are producing great fruits regardless of your reservations. Apparently, in their world, they are winning the war – I am sure you will agree with me that they have made significant gains out of your frustrations.
Do you know that in the spiritual realm these folks get promoted while feasting on you? Sure, they are gaining recognition! They have succeeded in sending you to the canvas repeatedly. Don’t you think they deserve a round of applause? Yeah, it appears they win but mind you, only for a short while. You know what? Even if the period of their gains are short, you cannot take away the fact that they pretty well enjoy it while it lasts! My dear – Welcome to the world of witchcraft – a gang of wicked folks who specialize in dispensing sorrow to as many people as they can find. Remember – Your loss is their gain.
Let us begin our journey into their world. In 1998, I shared an apartment with some folks. It was a very big apartment with many rooms. We had different bedrooms but a common courtyard. I also share the kitchen and bathroom with a colleague. We were both bachelors at the time. The landlady, a middle aged woman also lived in the apartment with her twelve years old son and nine years old daughter. As soon as I moved into the apartment I had noticed the queer ambience occasioned by generous presence of cobweb on the walls. In fact, everywhere looks strange. A few days after I had moved into the apartment I noticed the erratic prayer life of the landlady. Although she was associated with a religious organization I knew she was not faithful. I had resolved to study the landlady and her children and was not eager to seek alternative accommodation.
A few weeks later, I returned from work in the evening and observed a strange grasshopper on the wall. As I made an attempt to kill it, the nine years old daughter of my landlady pleaded with me not to kill the grasshopper. I was surprised when she told me that the grasshopper brought a message. As soon as she made the statement I simply walked past her to my room.
Her twelve year old brother had also been a thorn in my flesh. I had observed his strange behavior for a while. My prayer life got the better part of me because I knew the environment was anything but friendly. My landlady and her daughter travelled and left the twelve year old alone at home. I had checked on him in his bedroom at night before I locked the only gate that led to the apartment. It was midnight and I had commenced a vigil. At a point I decided to utilize the authority of the spoken word energized by the Holy Spirit. I made a decree – I said if the twelve year old boy had left his body behind in the bedroom en route to the witchcraft meeting in the coven, he would not return to his body in his bedroom in the mighty Name of Jesus. I was so surprised at about thirty minutes past six o’clock in the morning when I heard a bang on the roof. I quickly ran to the only exit gate and unlocked it en route the front of the house. I was shocked when I saw the twelve year old wearing his school uniforms by the side of my vehicle outside the house. I looked at him and simply returned to my apartment because his presence by the side of my car cannot be explained scientifically. How he was able to move his body and the school uniform in the bedroom to the side of my car is a mystery. However, I have always known that there are powers and there are powers.
Now, let us go straight to the main reason why I shared the testimony. My landlady and her children had been a thorn in my finances. I noticed that my vehicle had become a regular visitor at the mechanic workshop since I moved into the apartment. As a salesman, my job entails regular calls on clients in distant locations. I returned from one of my numerous journeys at about ten o’clock at night and parked the vehicle at the usual parking lot outside the house. In the morning, I carried out the routine check on the vehicle and discovered that there was no drop of engine oil in the engine. I instantly notified an auto technician who accompanied me home. I asked him to explain why a vehicle I had parked after returning from a long distance journey lacked engine oil. After he had examined the vehicle, he said – “You are the only one God loves. The fact that the engine did not knock is beyond human reasoning.”
Why did I share the testimony? Of course, I had to buy another gallon of engine oil to replace the lost one. I am sure you now understand why I am complaining – my landlady and her children had been draining my finances through car maintenance. The question at this point is – What is their gain? The answer is simple – my loss is their gain. They get promoted for draining my pockets.
A few months later, I was transferred to another station and had to hand over the vehicle to a colleague who ended up spending less on vehicle maintenance. I shared these testimonies to buttress the fact that the wicked also make gains.
Going forward, we must remind ourselves that Satan was thrown out of heaven because he wanted to be like God. We must note that since his expulsion, he has made great gains in terms of the establishment of his kingdom – the kingdom of darkness (wickedness). As a result of this, we can rightly say that as long as Satan remains free, the possibility of making more gains is open. However, we must also understand that the prosperity or gains of the wicked is time bound. In essence, their gains are temporal. It is in this context that Satan and its agents are said to have made substantial gains.
The gains associated with the kingdom of darkness (wickedness) include rapid promotion occasioned by successes recorded in accomplishing wicked assignments, political recognition in government of the world, pleasurable existence and the freedom to determine the fate of lawful captives.
We must also note that when Satan was in heaven, he was a high ranking angel who was under the authority and direction of the Almighty God. However, after his expulsion, he became the head of the kingdom of darkness. This is obviously a gain in terms of being the boss who calls the shots.
Another significant gain associated with the kingdom of wickedness is affluence. In their world, the availability of money making ritual is a common occurrence. This is one of the major reasons why the natural man is easily attracted to the kingdom of wickedness. Wicked folks readily go through shortcuts to acquire wealth. In most cases, human sacrifices are involved. In summary, lives are lost while the wicked smile to the bank. This practice is more common in developing nations. Advanced economies have gone beyond the level of deploying human sacrifice to make wealth.
Let us close this chapter by saying that the gains derived from wickedness ultimately propel the wicked to the gallows.
Those who hold leadership positions in the kingdom of darkness (wickedness) are sometimes mindful of their major constraint – they are time constrained. They also know that their power is not the ultimate power. This makes them vulnerable to those who operate in the realm of the Holy Spirit (righteousness).
The great fall is associated with Satan’s desire to be like God (Isaiah 14:12-14). “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be like the most High.”
Satan did not envisage that the Almighty God will be so decisive with him. He had underestimated God’s hatred for pride. Luke 14:11 aptly describes God’s mind. “Forwhosoever exalted himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” Also, James 4:6 alludes to the fact that God resists the proud. “But he giveth more grace, wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” The act of wanting to be like God was borne out of jealousy and can be interpreted as a wicked act. Isaiah 57:20-21 aptly describes what will happen to the wicked. “But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” The wicked are ultimately destined to fall as long as they refuse to take advantage of the window of repentance – they are headed for a great fall. Proverbs 11:5 aptly explains this point. “The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.”
