THE GROWING
PROBLEM OF OCCULTISM AND SATANISM
Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 18:10
EXPOSITION
The occult is on
the rise; many young people are seeking their spiritual identity through
Satanism. Satanism has become an issue of great concern in our society. It is a
phenomenon that crosses the city limits into the rural areas of our nation. The
news wires carry story after story about young children being kidnapped, only
to be found later as victims of some bizarre ritualistic crime.
The primary goal of such satanic involvement is to alter people's values and
turn them against themselves, their beliefs, family, God, and society. You have a very bright destiny to fulfill but the devil through its schemes wants to interrupt God’s agenda concerning you. When life challenges arise, the devil quickly comes closer to offer you alternative means which makes falsehood appear like truth. All the devil aims at is to turn you against your God so it can have a chance to destroy you. You need to understand that turning to witchcraft and occult powers are not lasting solution to your problems. Also note that, even if God does not save you the devil cannot deliver you.
KEY VERSES:
2Thessalonians 2:9 Even
him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs
and lying wonders.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I
am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly.

saving me. Help me remain in you all my days on earth.
