A veteran missionary leader of Nigeria was instrumental in motivating a community to turn
to the Lord and pull down ancestral shrines and demonic altars.
In nearly all the eastern states of Nigeria, according to Believers Assemblies of Nigeria
leader Isaiah Issong, witchcraft is a strong power. Young people are being influenced by
it to steal electric lights, transformers, water pumps, and to damage schools and other
public property.
In June Issong was invited to speak on the theme "Redeeming Our Inheritance" to
a three-day gathering in the Itu Local Government Area sponsored by the Itu Believers
Forum. The "Executive Chairman" and "Paramount Ruler" of the area
attended, along with about 3000 men, women and young people each night. Issong told them
that the only way to cleanse the area of demonic influence and power was confession,
repentance, and the demolition of satanic altars and temples.
At the close of the meetings, 800 people accepted Christ as their Savior, members of the
rejuvenated crowd went out and smashed 15 of their demonic shrines, and six juju priests
gave their lives to Christ.
"The area is now free from fear as faith in Christ has taken over the entire local
government area," Issong said.
