PENTECOSTALS AND ENQUIRY INTO WITCHCRAFT

Pentecostals spend half their time in church and prayers casting, binding, overcoming, stepping on, stamping and doing so many other things to witches and wizards.

Their pastors, prophets, deacons, shamans, seers, G.O's and so many other titled members thrive materially on the unseen encounters with these dealers in the occult. Their prayers and so many other encounters and actions cannot be complete without the mention of witches.

The fear factor opens the wallets of the unwary. And so these titled men of Pentecostalism thrive on peddling fear to their believers. The witch becomes a feared commodity to be sold by pastors to believers for gain.

If you remove witchcraft, including the powers and principalities, Pentecostalism will be emptied of the fear factor which props up their belief.

Pentecostalism needs witchcraft as the totem pole which directs the attention and fear of its believers in order to get at their wallets. Without the fear of witches, pastors will have little fear to sell and make money.

As William Golding greatly demonstrated in his seminal novel, the beast is in us. The beast is man, the fear is in man himself.

My people say that it is in the presence of the witch that a king is born and grows to take his crown. The witch cannot be a hindrance to the man who is determined to succeed. What's your business with the witch who dicides to be flying around instead of sleeping on his bed?

So when the academics of the University of Nigeria Nsukka, proposed a public academic enquiry into witchcraft, Pentecostalism rose up in revolt. You see, the academics are threatening the business of the pastor's and their income from the sale of fear of witchcraft. CAN went incendiary. Catholic Church is no longer part of CAN.

If the myth of the prevalence and power of witchcraft and the occult in the society is shown for what it is as just myth, Pentecostal beliefs will be shattered. How do they justify their preachings of a dangerous and threatened world if people no longer believe in witchcraft?

Witches are needed as examples of an enveloping and unkillable threat to the just man and to Christendom. Can you imagine how many times the devil himself is bound and destroyed every day in Nigeria?

The academics at Nsukka should take on other areas of academic engagement and leave witchcraft to the pentecostals to cast and bind. Imagine how Pentecostal prayers will sound without casting and binding.

Catholicism overcame witchcraft since the 99 theses of Martin Luther in the 16th century and the counter movement of the Society of Jesus otherwise called "The Jesuits".

Catholicism no longer sells indulgences or burn heretics and witches at the public stakes. They have moved on in forging deeper meanings with God beyond the reach of witches.

Pentecostals do not need witches and wizards to prove their faith. Their pastors and shamans only need witches to put fear in their believers in order to make money off them. @basilokoh.
