Ghanaian Pastor Accuses TB Joshua, Pastor Chris of "Occultism" (Page 5)

Idiots, are u just knowing that these so called men of God are men of something else, otherwise what is the competition all about? why the riches and afflence, how much wealth did Jesus had when he was alive. But the worst is that so many people are blind folded worshiping these guys, time shall tell!

May God strike that your mouth with holy ghost fire. You and the Ghanaian pastor will never find peace until you make confession publicly that you are both of the devil.

There is nothing new in this article.

Africans strong link to the African traditional type of worship is entwined with the western type of worship (Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists, Pentecostals etc). Embedded in our DNA is the way our ancestors or forefathers (whichever term you chose) saw worship. We readily threw our beliefs aside without a fight when the "white man" stated "you are worshipping the devil - stop it." Were we really doing that? At least from the part of Nigeria I hail from, we have one supreme God (just like Christianity) who we took as our all knowing and all seeing God. Then there were the lesser gods we had - again like in Christianity we hear of the messengers of God like the angels. The Chinese kept to their traditional way of life so much so that Chinese traditional religion/medicine is a big thing now - for example, acupuncture. This is now something used all over the world to treat different ailments  - especially in Europe! The Tibetans have their monks.  England have their Druids. Nigeira, no Africa as per norm threw everything God given away and for what?  

We have thousands of Nigerians still following traditional religion which I personally have no problem with however it is done in secrecy (in the dark) whilst in the brightness of the day they attend a "Christian" church. In some European countries, people openly attend psychic shows on TV etc. Nigerians find that hard to do but will attend a "church" when they learn a "pastor can see tomorrow."   And so they attend this "church" in the hope they will be "seen" and be given a "message."

Nigerians should watch this programme. It brings tears to your eyes - Branded A Witch. It was shown on BBC3 on the 21st May 2013.

In this one-off documentary, Congo-born Londoner Kevani Kanda travels to Africa to shed light on the Congolese belief in witchcraft, or "kindoki". She sees "possessed" children beaten by smiling pastors, and meets others accused of harbouring evil spirits. One is her own cousin. Kevani implores her relatives to consider the veracity of kindoki, or at least the necessity of abuse as a solution, but they can't, or are perhaps unwilling to. A disturbing portrait of a culture that believes routine child torture to be morally justifiable.

In some of the poorest parts of Nigeria, where evangelical religious fervour is combined with a belief in sorcery and black magic, many thousands of children are being blamed for catastrophes, death and famine: and branded witches. Denounced as Satan made flesh by powerful pastors and prophetesses, these children are abandoned, tortured, starved and murdered: all in the name of Jesus Christ.
