An Encounter with a Demon
Around July or August 2020, I had another significant experience. At the time, I did not know what it was, but as I came to learn more about the things of the spirit and hear testimonies, I understood better.
During that period, I was honing my art skills; and, on one occasion, I had gone to my regular art shop to buy some materials. It was at this shop that I met a guy who asked if I was an artist and I responded in the positive. He told me that he was an art collector, and after we had conversed for a bit, we exchanged phone numbers and I took my leave.
I painted mostly at night as it was quite peaceful and I was able to focus better; and, it was on one of these nights that this young man sent a message to me. Now, I did not know better then (based on the parapets that we have been taught to have curfews for speaking with the opposite sex), so I responded and we talked.
During the course of our conversation, he asked me to come to his house by that time (this was around midnight), but I told him that I could not do such a thing. When he asked why, I told him that I was a Christian. Besides, why would he expect me to move about at that time of the night? (Take note that I used to move about at those times before I gave my life to Christ; but, somehow, it felt weird how he sounded almost sure that I would come).
I asked if he was a Christian and he responded in the negative. When I asked what he was, he did not really give an answer to that, but said that we have been presented with a false Messiah and that I should come so he would lead me down the path of enlightenment.
From where I was coming from, the word ‘enlightenment’ was not welcomed at all. I started to feel something was up. He began to ramble on about the Seven Books of Moses and some other esoteric books I cannot recall now. Though I was already familiar with a few of the books he mentioned, the others sounded like really deep stuff. All I could do was laugh. It was hilarious to me because I knew what he was dabbling in, and they were sticks and stones compared to the power of my Jesus.
I laughed and even mocked him for talking about them. I told him that whatever he was reading and believing were lies. Now that I remember it, he was almost entreating me to go on the journey of “enlightenment’ with him. I thank God for saving me from such knowledge. The next time I would speak to this guy would be a direct confrontation with evil, and all of this happened over Whatsapp.
He posted a video of domestic violence, where a man used a pressing iron to hit a lady, with a caption that suggested that he found it funny and appealing. When I saw it, I could not believe that a human being would find such a thing appealing or funny so I decided to engage him and reposted the video with the caption “Who gave birth to this man?” or something like that.
To Be Continued…
