[size=18pt] I fear for my life, says man who lost six children to his gods [/size]

IF Mr. Ufomba Emegharaide, a witch doctor, had known that the gods he kept and worshipped for more than 37 years could end up killing six out of his seven children, and got him scared of the community he grew up to know in Aba, Abia State, perhaps, he would have long shifted his loyalty to his newly found God of the universe under which he sought and got a refuge.



The witch doctor, when narrating his story in confirmation of the prophetic revelation by Prophet TB Joshua of the Synagogue Church for All Nations at a church service in Ikotun, Lagos, recently, concerning his encounter with the evil spirits explained how the constant cries of some of the spirits who were thirsty for blood, at night, caused him to flee from his village to the church in Lagos.

According to him, apart from the mysterious death of his children, he was frightened when his wife was kicked by two of the gods in a bathroom and she suddenly became disabled and unable to walk for the past four years.

In his own words: "I inherited four gods from my forefathers and I added three of my own to whome I offered sacrifices to every time there was need for it."

"With the idols around me, I became so powerful in my community and I got a lot of patronage." "In the house I built for the gods, there is a bed where people sleep in order to have contact with mammy water (mermaid). For such visitation, every willing visitor, according to Ufomba, must spend seven to 14 days in the room.

[The witchdoctor, pointing to the house he built for the gods in his village ] When asked for his mission in the Synagogue, the man looking ruffled, explained that the gods had become wicked and were a symbol of sorrow to him, as he was daily tormented.

For the past four years, the witch doctor, who came with his son to the Synagogue, confessed to not being able to open the door of the god's house out of fear of suffering the same fate as his wife. Aside from this, going home, he said, had also become a taboo because of the fear that he could be harmed.



The evil house, according to the evangelists sent there to pray was filled with idols of various shapes, positioned on the tables placed at different end of the house. The walls, according to them, were painted with different images of mermaids, snakes and other satanic spirits.

Now delivered through the power of the holy spirit, the man with a sigh of relief, got up from his estactic fall and said, I now feel safe to go back to my village." He has been instructed by the prophet to bring his converts back to God.

The part I highlighted says it all really. Everyone knows every and any word that comes out of Tuberculosis's mouth should be taken with a pinch of salt.

The gods of the traditional religions are harsh. Always asking for blood

I'm glad the man has found something (Christianity) that works for him.

^^^ So you believe in the power of the traditional gods?

^^
u're a tribalist,u're an atheist,I wonder what's left. . .what a life

Are you a christian?

Yes am an xtian.
Sorry to put you under my 'naive list'

I've never met a Christian who believes in a traditional god, unless ofcourse you're joking.

Shouldn't this be in the Culture section or Religion Section?

~Bluetooth:

Says who?
Its ev'where dude. Just dat its more rampant vere.

I'll ask the mods to move it to "Crime Section". The gods needs to be found and arrested for murder.

It is hard for me to explain, Ileke-Idi. I don't worship those traditional gods or even necessarily believe they exist, but my parents (both strong Christians) believe that certain supernatural things from the traditional religions are real.

They grew up in Nigeria, I did not. They've seen some crazy supernatural things, I have not. But just because I've not seen these things doesn't mean I won't disregard the possibility that they exist; sometimes it is good to heed the warnings and advice your parents give.

For all I know it is purely fake. That doesn't mean I want to test the fakeness/realness of Okija shrine on my own body

Joke?, hell no.
Yeah i'm aware of the modern xtian doctrines n beliefs.
But c'mon lets be realistic here, some of us cn't even step foot in our villages till date. This 'things' still exist and we know it.

The truth is the truth regardless and independent of one's personal opinions or beliefs.
**i sound like a 4kin preacher.lol**

Sounds like you're admitting the powers of the gods, maybe to me.

Shouldnt Christian believe that there's is only one God who has all the power to do anything, that other gods are powerless?

I believe that there's something suspicious going on in this man's case.

lmfao gurl. Nice lines. Good Riddance to Bad Rubish!.lol

There is only one God yes. But if you worship a demon or some sort of evil spirit as your "god", who is to say that it doesn't have any power? The Bible sef admits the existence of other forces, does it not?

Anyway, I'm not that obsessed with religion one way or another or theological debates. . . live and let live imo.

Why so much alcohol in the "coven"? Who drinks it all?

LMAO

I'll take the cue and end this discussion then  

I just find it odd when I observe some out-of-the-odd expressions by Christians. Just curious.
