Bishop warns Christians against occultism
APRIL 29, 2013
Bishop of Egba Anglican Diocese, Rt. Rev. Emmanuel Adekunle, has warned Christians against engaging in fetish and diabolical practices.
Urging them to keep to the doctrines of the Bible, the cleric said the Mosaic Law had prohibited fetish and diabolic practices such as “magic, sorcery, divination and other practices like spiritism”.
He stated this at the opening session of the 2013 Synod of the Diocese of Egba in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Friday.
Adekunle said it was regrettable that some Christian leaders were employing witchcraft in their practices.
The Bishop said, “Medical treatment in the old biblical world often included he use of magic, sorcery, divination and practices of spiritism. The Mosaic Law prohibited such practices. So, they are not biblical and Christian practices. They are inconsistent with the nature of the all-powerful God.”
Warning Christian leaders against deviating from biblical doctrines, the Bishop said the Bible remained the only reference for all Christian teachings.
He added, “You ministers need to teach the people the right thing. Teach them what is in the Bible. If you are not doing that, you are not only leading people towards hell.”
