Principles of the world paganism on the mirror
The strokes of force of nature is so painful that it forces the door of my massage laboratory in my mind to open. Hence, pouring out these message of paganism found in the mirror of the world.
"It were better to have no option of God at all than such options as is unworthy of Him." So wrote Bacon. In the bustle of modern life in the world today, many abandoned their pagan practices but for those in the rural, backward and uncivilized tribal communities paganism still has a strong grip. Their pagan practices are mainly based on superstitions.
Superstition is the acceptance of belief or practices groundless in themselves and inconsistent with the community to which they belong. Animism, fetishism matcotism, voodooism, and Juju are superstitious practices. Animism is a belief that some objects like trees, rivers and wind have souls, while fetishism is there worshiping of such objects. Matcotism is a believe that some objects should bring good fortune such as the belief in "stars" which much emphasis will be laid on later. Voodooism is the belief in sorcery and witchcraft, while juju is the belief in amulets and charms.
By looking at the lives of pagans we find evil practices are very numerous. Human beings are sometimes sacrificed to gods but this is not uncommon. Juju causes much threat in the community. Witchcraft is the constant fear to them. Their lives are lived by terror. They believe any evil committed is punishable and offered sacrifices to please the divine spirits offended. It is this fact that may explain partly the good morals of the pagans. Apart from fear resulting from ignorance, the pagans are generally of good morals. They are simple and they believe very readily. With anxiety, the spread of Islam, Christianity and Civilization, paganism will soon lapse. But "if the sun is not afraid of the mass, let it shine at night." Not far from the fact, i wish to emphasize on mascotism which i gave an example as "stars".
The stars, one of the marvelous wonders of nature, have played a very important role in human destiny in the course of history. What a beautiful sight to see the many bright stars in the skies on a moonlit night. But alas, some people attach many beliefs to the stars. Often have i heard people saying such things as "I follow my stars, OR, Thank your stars." Many people will pursue their selfish aims even at the cost of human lives, and if carefully interrogated will tell you that they are stars have told them at one time or the other that they will be something in future; a rich man, or an important citizen. Thus they do all in their power to realise these prophecies. What usually sets me thinking hard is that a lot of these people claim to be Christians and it is to this group of people and to all interested ones that are now direct my speech.The first contacts that our Lord Jesus may with astrologers was when he was visited by the Magi or astrologers from the East and this quickly led to a murderous attempt upon his life.

It should be noted that God had never spoken to any of these prophet through the stars, rather he had often conveyed messages them through dreams and by his spirit, since astrologers of star gazers had something to do with demonism, to His people the Jews, he gave the following commands: "If a person turns to mediums and wizards, playing the harlot after them, I will set my face against that person and we will cut from among this is people - Lev. 20:6. Rebuking the abominable city of Babylon the prophet Isaiah, under God's inspiration wrote; "You are wearied with your many counsels; let them stand forth and save you; those who divide the heavens who gaze at the stars, who at the new moons predicted what shall be for you" Isaiah 47:13. Hence these star gazers cannot do you any good. God did not and would not notify them that His son had been born on earth. He notified the Jews who worshipped him, and that he did through his Holy Spirit and his angels.
Satan and his demons have the power to cause luminous orbs to appear to the vision of those subjects to their influence. God identified the son in the temple to aged Simeon and those in the temple, but there is no record that anybody else saw the 'star' which these astrologers claimed to have seen. Furthermore this 'star' did not lead them in Jerusalem to wander to Herod's place. On knowing the mission of the 'wise men' he asked the Jewish scribes and pharisees who quoted from Micah 5:2, then Herod sent the astrologers to Bethlehem with the ostensible reason of knowing the birth place, so that he too might go and worship the child. But what happened?. We are made to understand that the almighty God stepped in and Herod's plans were thwarted. By the devine warning in a dream they took another route home and after their leave and angel directed Joseph to take the child out of Bethlehem until Herod was dead.
You see that this 'star' let murderous Herod into the matter of Jesus birth. What did Herod do then? He arranged a dragnet of destruction to catch the baby Jesus by killing all baby boys according to the age limit he had calculated from the astrologers. All this proves that the 'star' was part of a plot of the devil to destroy our Lord and that God had Not sent the wise men either to Herod or to the child Jesus. He had no dealings with the astrologers or the star gazers. He strictly warns His people that astrologers cannot help anybody, rather it does the reverse.
Those who interest themselves in the "Your star" column in the news-papers must take note that they are enslaving themselves to demonism. Consulting the star is false.Before I draw the net of conclusion to my message i need to emphasize on the effect of voodooism from the rural pagans practices on our younger generations nowadays. Most parents who believe in paganism had by nature transfer this to their children that even their life of most people now is in a fix particularly the finalists, who are greatly intervened by these people act at night. These people people who called themselves "FEDRAK" which from the dictionary of my mind Means Federal Republic of Anti-Christ Kingdom, always make their work effective at night going - from one person to another pressing them. Then if i may ask, is this one of the directives of your stars?
Are you sure that you are not marring the temple of God which is your body by admitting this old Adam into your body? Or should it be admitted that you have forgotten the adage. If a man is deceived once the shame is on the deceiver but if twice the shame is on the person deceived. Why not flee from the devil, as the Bible says and let the same be on him. Though it is easy to roast and ant but very difficult to bring it out, yet it is wise thinking to me that if you pray all the time and accept Christ with full hope of salvation and faith in Him, He will never fail to avert the doom of your being menace to the people at night for you most what it may. Is non-profitable and tomorrow might be too late if you don't repent. Therefore look into your life again whether this act is not hood-winking you from good to bad.
Then to you non-Fedraks, it will be wise you could control yourself. Stand firm with the lord for in a crowd of thieves one cannot afford to be a saint. If you are advise them and they turn against you don't be discouraged but lit on for a child who does not cry when his father beats him will surely cry when they Society beat him as this is the end of my message.
