Can children be witches?

I got an email yesterday from a
friend that wanted to know what I thought about the News on CNN here of children abused and even killed, being
labeled as witches. As I watched the documentary on CNN, I knew I had to say my
mind. Feel free to say yours.

An extract of the article from
CNN reads, “A child witch is said to be a witch
when that child possessed with certain spiritual spells capable of making that
child transform into cat, snake, vipers, insects, any other animal and that
child is capable of wreaking havoc like killing of people, bringing diseases,
misfortune into the family,” Sam said.

“When
a child is accused of being a witch — that child is hated absolutely by everybody
surrounding him so such children are sent out of the home… But unfortunately
such children do not always live long. A lot of them, they’re either killed,
abandoned by the parents, tortured in the church or trafficked out of the
city.”

Sam
doesn’t believe in witchcraft and is trying to raise awareness in local
communities now gripped by hysteria…”

Sam could as well doubt the
existence of the devil for all I care. Get it from me here, witchcraft, voodoo
or Juju is alive and well in many cultures all over the world. Witchcraft and
occultism have been from ancient times. The questions begging for answers in this
story are; what is witchcraft? Who is a witch? Do you have child-witches or
wizards? And if you do, what should you do with them?

I’m not an authority in
occultism or demonology, but I have experienced firsthand, the operation and
manifestations of demons in people, including innocent kids. I have many
stories to tell.

People who are referred to as
witches or wizards are so called because they manifest some measure of power to harm others through supernatural means, which often
involves invocation of spirits via incantations and the use of assorted charms.

Witchcraft
is more than a craft; it’s a way of life. It runs in some families and it can
also be learnt and perfected like any trade or gift. It’s chief aim is to
connect with the spirit world in other to manipulate people, incapacitate them
or kill them outrightly.

An
individual could have progressive contact with the spirit world through many
means. Here are 5 common ways.

•         
  It could be via initiation,
  whereby incantations and bodily incisions are made on the individual, thereby introducing
  him or her to the spirit world.
•         
  It could be
  through ingestion, whereby the targeted victim usually unknowingly ingests some
  substances (charms) put into their meal or drink that eventually takes control
  of their mind and body.
•         
  Witchcraft
  activities could run in some families and handed down from generation to
  generation.
•         
  A visit to a
  sorcerer could also open the door for one to encounter supernatural forces that
  could lead down the wrong path.
•         
  Lastly, one could
  be dedicated to the cult or the devil as a baby or even before birth. Like
  Samuel of Hannah, some children are dedicated to cults and the devil either as war or peace offerings or a pledge of loyalty.

Some
children are victims of wickedness perpetuated by adults, who themselves are
under the bondage of the devil. Children don’t belong to witchcraft cults and
covens willingly; else their nature will not serve as the blessed example that
Jesus recommends for His disciples. 

The truth is that they are children who having
been bewitched, become possessed by evil spirits and these spirits could
manifest abilities and strength beyond what is naturally expected of a child.
Does this make a child or anyone for that matter a witch? NO!

Based on
several cases I’ve encountered and those I’ve heard of, I confirm that demons can
operate through innocent children and they do. If you don’t believe this, then
you grossly underestimate the wickedness of the devil and his agents in this world.   

The
issue is not if children can possess
witchcraft abilities but how do we
respond to the challenge that such cases present. If a child demonstrates
witchcraft traits, do they cease to become humans? No! They are operating under
an influence beyond their control and need help which can only be found in
Jesus Christ.  Demons don’t differentiate
between adults and kids. Everything they do is against God and all He loves. Ridiculing
God is their primary assignment.

We read in the Bible an incredible story of two mothers
agreeing to a most unspeakable and barbaric act of cannibalism against their own
kids.  2Kings 6:28-29 “…What’s your
trouble?” She answered, “The other day this woman here suggested that
we eat my child, and then eat her child the next day. So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I told her that we would
eat her son, but she had hidden him!” Yes, they cooked and ate the innocent
little boy. He was not a witch. The women were among the many that were starving those terrible days.

Some
years ago, in the company of two beloved brothers, Ken Nwaoparah and Austin
Okeke, I had what I consider till date, the most harrowing encounter with 15
demons that made their home in a 15year old boy.  They claimed to have been there since he was
born. I will tell of this encounter later to underscore the wicked operation of
demons in children.

People
can choose to be sentimental about this topic seeing that we are talking about innocent
children. But please don’t conclude on any matter you know little or nothing
about.  

If you
have had a personal encounter with children that manifested witchcraft traits
or gifts, let’s hear your story. What do you do to help?
