CANDIDATES OF BEWITCHMENT
Dr. D. K. Olukoya
This is a direct message from the Lord to you
today. The fact that God has preserved your life up till this time
means that He has a purpose for your life. The message is entitled,
“Candidates of bewitchment.” Acts. 8: 9 – 13: “But there was a
certain man called Simon which beforetime in the same city used
sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that
himself was some great one. (So the man had been bewitching the
people of Samaria.) To whom they all gave heed, (although he was
bewitching them, they all gave him 100 per cent attention) from the
least, to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
And to him they had regard, because that of a long time, he had
bewitched them with sorceries. But when they believed Philip
preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of
Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then Simon
himself believed also; and when he was baptized, he continued with
Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were
done.” Later, the secret of Simon was revealed and it was known that
he was a sorcerer.
Many people and many nations are being bewitched.
The Lord has a controversy with many people because they are not
walking the way He wants them to walk. Many people go to churches to
get themselves entertained instead of getting their spirit man
changed. Many are working below the standard God wants them to work.
Such people must do something before God looks away from them
because bewitchment is a terrible thing and it is taking an epidemic
proportion these days. Many people now are behaving just like the
Samaritans in the scriptures above. The people of Samaria were under
so much suffering but they never realised it. They were under
blindness and satanic elusion but they didn’t know. They praised the
very man who was destroying them. They did not really know who Simon
was. He was sapping them dry but they believed he was delivering
them. It is the same thing with a lot of people. They do not know
whom they are dealing with and what such people do at night. They
are just being sapped dry. Simon was destroying them properly and
thoroughly but satan made sure they were blinded to it.
