HOW Satan MANIPULATES MAN WITH HIS MINISTERS- THE DRAGON, THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET.Man has been in darkness for a very long time, infact since the transgression of Adam in the Garden of Eden, man has never known peace.The reason is that man has refused to discover himself like the prodigal son, who after he had wasted all his goods in a strange land, having found himself at a cross road with nobody to help.When he came to himself, remembering that he was a prince, being a son of a king, and that his father's servants have enough food to eat and to spare, while he was dying of hunger in a foreign land.He decided to return to his father, asking for his forgiveness and requesting that he may accept him back as one of his hired servants.The result of his action was both rewarding and astonishingly great, as he was not only accepted but also honoured by his father, because he was made a king the same day he returned.This is what man has refused to do, even after Jesus Christ has come to redeem him from all his troubles.Man has continued to dwell in a strange land by his continuous harboring of Satan in his body.His rejection of Satan and acceptance of Christ the Spirit and Kingdom of God today, would mean his return to God, his Father, and his body which was a strange land because of Satan - the stranger in it, will become the land of the Living or the Glory of all Land, because God, the owner has entered into it.Nevertheless, having noticed man's unwillingness to return to God, Satan has continued to maintain his hold on man by devising other means by which to tighten his grip on man.This is revealed in the scripture, and it reads. "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophets.For they are the spirits of devils working miracles which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty" - Revelation 16.13-14.The dragon, the beast and the false prophets are the ministers of Satan, the three categories of people that Satan is using to manipulate man and further separate him from God.The three unclean spirits that came out of the mouth of the three servants of Satan are the abominable lies with which they deceive the people of the world.Remember that the Lord Jesus had said that the word he spake where spirit and life, his word which is the truth, is life because it is the word of God. while the word of Satan is lie and death.Man was created and made to depend on God for all his needs and God, as a loving Father, would feed him, clothe him and provide him with shelter and all his needs, Thus. "Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body what ye shall put on.Is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air. for they sow not, neither do the reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.Are ye not much better than they? Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek.) For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" - Mathew 6.25-26,31-33.Everything that man is running after today, whether things made by scientists or technological discoveries, they are not up to the shadow of things that he had prepared for them that love him, which they will receive without labouring.But because man received Satan (lie) into his body and rejected God, he was therefore forsaken by God.His preference for Satan brought great woes on him that, not only is he in sorrow, but also in the sweat of his face is eating bread all his days on the earth.This dominance of Satan on man is made possible by his ministers viz. - The Dragon, The Beast and the False prophets.THE DRAGON. The scripture described Satan as dragon. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him" - Revelation12.9.Every man who has the wisdom of this world is a dragon or serpent because that is the wisdom that gave birth to him.The same way that every one that receives the Spirit of God in him is a son of God.John the Baptist and our Lord Jesus confirmed this in the scripture, thus. "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and the Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O! Generation of vipers who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come" - Mathew 3.7."Ye serpents ye generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?" - Matthew 23.33.The wisdom of this world is lie and darkness, which is Satan that man received in his body in the garden of Eden - Genesis 3.1-7; Isaiah 9.19.While the truth which man must receive in order to live and enjoy all the good things that God had prepared for them that love him, is Christ the light of the world.Now those who have received Christ, the power and wisdom of God in themselves are the sons of God, the redeemed of the Lord, the true believers and born again.The dragons are the native doctors, medical doctors, scientists, lawyers, seers, sorcerers, magicians, and all those men whom the people run to when they are afflicted by Satan.They all provide fake healing, fake security, fake defense, fake freedom and inventions that carnally tends to help man survive, but in reality they are life extinguishers, because they falsely make man to depend on them, than to depend on God in whom our life and being is perfected - Acts 17.27-28, 1Corinthians 15.27-28.Man, in his confusion would say, 'Heaven helps those who help themselves'.This implies that God also encourages him to seek help from the native doctors and all other dragons, whenever they are afflicted by Satan.God forbid! How can God ask one to seek the living among the dead? The only way man can be free from the afflictions of Satan is by rejecting Satan and receiving Christ in himself.THE BEASTS. The beasts are described in the scripture as the kings, the rulers of the nations of the earth. "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth" - Daniel 7.17.This includes the presidents and heads of the countries of the world, the rich men, and the wise and noble men.Satan uses this category of men to manipulate the people - making them to believe that every thing is in their hands.They promise life, wealth, freedom, food, medical care, water, peace, etc.They also use many of the organizations, formed by them to further deceive man to believe that the beasts are all that the people needed.Such organizations are human right organizations that are established to defend the rights of individuals.Whereas no man is free nor can any man free another from the hand of Satan, save those who have received the Spirit of God in them.Another organization is for peace, the truth is that no man has peace in himself, neither can any man enjoy nor give what he don't have.The only people who have peace are those who have Christ in themselves."For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us" - Ephesians 2.14.Christ also is our wisdom, our righteousness, our sanctification and redemption - 1Corinthians 1.30.The only way any man can have life, peace, freedom, security, defense, and every other rights, is to receive Christ, the Spirit of God in himself, because Christ is the Spirit and Kingdom of God.Those who received Christ in them, have returned to God their Father, for it is God alone that can provide, protect and give us peace and life - 1John 5.12.THE FALSE PROPHETS. The false prophets are those men that Jesus warned concerning them, thus. "Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.Ye shall know them by their fruits.Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but every corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit" - Matthew 7.15-18.The false prophets that Jesus referred to in the above verses are those men who, not only have perverted the word of God in heresy, but also have built structures which they call churches or houses of God; instead of man whom God has formed for his own glory (dwelling place) - Hebrews 8.2.Apostle Paul confirms. "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's" - 1Corinthians 6.19-20."If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you. on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified" - 1 Peter 4.14.Also read the following verses Hebrews 3.6; 1Corinthians 3.9 2Corinthians 6.16; John 17.1,4,5; Colossians 1.13,27; 1Corinthians 11.7,15, The sheep's clothing with which they come to us are those names which were borne by the Apostles of Christ, but which this deceitful workers now bear so that they would be accepted by the people.The names are Pastors, Prophets, Teachers, Apostles, Evangelists and now they have added to the list, powerful man of God, general overseers, spiritual fathers and mothers, perfect masters, Jehovah witnesses, founders of churches, reverend fathers, reverend doctors, spiritual leaders, bishops etc.While they bear these names, they feed the people with lies, neither do they bring the gospel of peace and word of reconciliation, as did the apostles of Christ - Ephesians 6.15, 2 Corinthians 5.18-19, nor do they know God whom they claim to be serving.For this God had said. "Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith the LORD.Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD" - Jeremiah 23.1-2."The priests said not, where is the LORD? And they that handle the law know me not. the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit" - Jeremiah 2.8."And they bend their tongues like their bow for lie. but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD" - Jeremiah 9.3,6."For the pastors are became brutish, and have not sought the LORD. Therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered" - Jeremiah 10.21."I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied" - Jeremiah 23.21.In truth they are workers of iniquity, ministers of Satan serving their own belly and bringing in damnable heresies.Apostle Peter testifies. "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that brought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction.And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you, whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not" - 2Peter 2.1-3."For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly. and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple" - Romans 16.18.All the miracles, the signs and wonders done by these evil workers are by the working of Satan in order to deceive the people into believing that they are doing them by Christ.Thus. "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness" - 2 Thessalonians 2.9-12.However, it is important to state clearly here, that the sixth thousand years which is at its final end now has been the day of darkness, the period that Satan is loosed after he had been chained and cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years, thus. "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent which is the devil, and Satan, and bound him, a thousand years.And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season" - Revelation 20.1-7.The one thousand years that Satan was chained and cast into the bottomless pit was the fifth thousand year, when the saints (Apostles) reigned with Christ.The little season when Satan was loosed to deceive those that would believe him is the sixth thousand year.Remember that the Lord Jesus spoke of this day, the sixth thousand years when Satan would reign with his ministers."Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you.Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you. for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.While ye have light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light.These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them" - John 12.35-36.Christ is the light, which the disciples received and any man who wants to share in the glorious liberty of the sons of God, must receive Christ.Jesus himself confirms, thus. "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world" - John 9.5."That was the true light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world" - John 1.9.Again, the apostles who were the children of light had their reign with Christ in the fifth thousand years, and through their word we also received the Spirit of God, that made us the sons of God.John 1.12; Romans 8.14.The apostles admonished us, thus. "Do all things without murmurings and disputing.That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world " - Philippians 2.14-15.This is the same light, which is the life of man - John 1.9.The sixth thousand years is known as the day of darkness because that is the period that Satan is released from the bottomless pit to rule in them whose names are not written in the book of life, and these people are the world."The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition; and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is" - Revelation 17.8.The beast is Satan, which is called serpent or dragon, He ruleth in men as darkness and darkness is the lie that men received in the Garden of Eden.Now that Satan, the darkness is ruling, there is no light (Christ) in the world, except in the sons of God whose names are written in the Book of Life.Amos who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa prophesied concerning this sixth thousand year in this wise. "Behold the days come saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD. And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north, even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it" - Amos 8.11-12.This prophecy clearly shows that there has been absolute darkness in the world from the beginning of the sixth thousand years, that darkness (Satan) overwhelmed the world (man).This is why Jesus said that no man can work in darkness.Every one who has worked or is still working as servant from the beginning of the sixth thousand year is a false apostle, serving Satan as a minister.These are the people that Apostle Paul referred to in Corinthians Thus. "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ and no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works" - 2 Corinthians 11.13-15.Nonetheless, if we recall that the reason why Satan rebelled was because the angles were made ministering spirits to serve man, the Sons of God - Hebrews 1.14, and when Satan saw that his rebellion could not stop the will of God which is to live in his sons, he decided to fight the sons of God; Satan did this by making man to receive him in himself, that is how Satan stole man - the house of God, another is by making man to believe lies, and believing these lies are the works that is done in man - 2Corinthians 5.10, this work is what resulted to the destruction (falling) of the house.In this sixth thousand years, therefore, Satan is desperately fighting, with the assistance of his ministers to destroy, if it were possible, all the sons of God so that the will of God will not be fulfilled in his sons, because he knows that this is the only chance left for him, as a roaring wolf.There are several records in the scripture proving the events and reign of Satan in the sixth thousand years.Prophet Isaiah's prophesy concerning the sixth thousand years is in fact an apt and accurate testimonies of events of today, as Satan (darkness or lie) has overwhelmed the earth (man) in his attempt to destroy man completely, thus. "For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people. but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising" - Isaiah 60.2-3.It is this same darkness that made man not to see nor hear God, but to the sons of God who have received God through his Spirit, which is Christ who is also our power and wisdom.Man who has received Satan in his body, is being fed with lies that destroys the body; but the sons of God who have received Christ, the Spirit of God, are fed with the truth which is preparing and perfecting us, ready to take over the things that God had prepared for them that love him.King Solomon's example aptly describes the situation with the sons of God.After king Solomon was granted wisdom by God, all the kings of the earth and indeed the whole world sought the presence of Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart."And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart" - 2 Chronicles 9.23.24.Now the sons of God are those that have received the Spirit of God in them (Romans 8.14) and this Spirit of God, the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, is Christ the power and wisdom of God.This is the same spirit that has revealed to us (the sons of God) every thing that are freely given to us of God, thus. "But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea the deep things of God.Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God" - 1Corinthians 2.10 and 12.This spirit of God cannot be received by any of your powerful men of God, your pastors, founders of churches or by whatever name they are called, because they are not serving Christ, nor God the Father, but are ministers of Satan, deceitful workers. who established those structures which they call churches, but which are their chambers and business houses, where they make merchandise of the people.Worse still, they even sale the lies which they receive from Satan and the people run after them and even enslave themselves to these agents of the devil which the apostles of Christ, who brought the gospel of peace and to whom the word of reconciliation is committed, gave all freely but the people have refused to receive even free.One of the worse but the easiest ways by which the false apostles separated the people from God is by erecting structures and call them houses of God, instead of our body which God formed for his glory - which is his dwelling place through Christ.All that believe that those structures are the houses of God are already separated from God.Everything they are doing in those their chambers are in fulfillment of the will of Satan who, in this sixth thousand years, is gathering his own people through his ministers to battle against God Almighty, thus. "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. the number of whom is as the sand of the sea" - Revelation 20.7-8.The thousand years that Satan was cast into the bottomless pit was the fifth thousand years when the saints ruled with Christ as the Holy Ghost, at the end of which they were taken away in what man now call rapture.These ministers of Satan have built these houses in order to gather the people on the side of Satan to battle against God Almighty - Revelation 16.13-14.Every one that gathers with them in those structures are enemies of God which must be destroyed.The purpose of this revelation is to arm those who are called by the name of the Lord, whose names are written in the book of life to separate yourselves from among them.We know that they would be annoyed and vexed by this revelations, but their anger would be the beginning of their woes, thus. "And they went up on the breath of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city. and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them, And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophets are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever" - Revelation 20.9-10.These ministers are of the world, hence the world hear and run after them, but we are the poor, the foolish and the despised of this present world that are of a contrite and humble spirit.He that heareth us is born of God - 1John 4.6.Daniel also confirmed this thus. "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall be corrupt by flatteries. but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits" - Daniel 11.32."And he said, Go thy way, Daniel. for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.Many shall be purified and made white, and tried, but the wicked shall do wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand" - Daniel 12.9-10.Finally, you cannot overcome Satan by fasting or by your night vigils neither can you overcome him by any other means than by receiving the Spirit of God in you.Every Pastor or powerful man of God in this dispensation is working for Satan, helping Satan to gather the nations to battle against the great day of God Almighty - Revelation 20.8-10.Beloved, remember that the word of God is truth, for he had said. " For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you" - 1Corinthians 11.19.This has been fulfilled because the pastors and all the powerful men of God including the dragons and the beasts have perverted the word of God in heresy.Even if you don't believe this truth, remember what apostle Paul said in Romans. "For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid. Yea, let God be true, but every man a liar. as it is written, that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings and mightest overcome when thou are judged" - Romans 3.3-4.Let every man return to God Now, Amen.CHARLES ONYEBUCHI ONYENWE (POOR, FOOLISH AND DESPISED OF THE WORLD) (ISAIAH 57.15; 66.1-2; 1CORINTHIANS 1.26-28; JAMES 5.7).EMAIL.
