My Testimony of how God delivered me from Satanic powers (Duodu Henry Appiahkorang)
Transcript of the message I shared on youtube in 2020
All
right, loved ones in Christ, we thank God for this powerful day. Initially, I
shared my testimony in Ghanaian, and now I want to share it in English. Can we
pray?
Father, in the name of Jesus, let this testimony
change lives and transform others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
All
right, loved ones in Christ Jesus, this is brother or minister Duodu Henry Appiahkorang.
And I want to share my testimony with you of how God saved me from the traps of
the wicked one. I believe that this sermon or this testimony is going to change
your life.
Because
some people who went through my path could not make it, and some of them are
dead. I know friends who are insane and mad on the street because they couldn't
make it. But God has shown mercy upon my life, so I want to share this
testimony with you.
This
incident happened while I was at university. When I entered the university in
2013, I was admitted to a program leading to a Bachelor of Science in
Accounting. So, while I was at school, I had a friend in Koforidua. He was near
our house, and I used to go to his house and then play around with him.
I
didn't know my friend was an idol worshiper. He was an Ewe, a tribe in Ghana
most often found in the Volta Region. So this friend of mine, as I was going to
his house, we started talking, and over time, I became closer to him.
So
one day I was in the house with him as we were talking together. This friend of
mine took me to his idol center, his shrine. By the way, I never knew that this
friend of mine was an idol worshipper.
So
when he took me to this idol-worship center, he did some kind of incantations
and other rituals there. Initially, before you enter his idol shrine, you have
to remove your sandals. So I removed my sandals and I entered there.
I
became familiar with him and found out that he is an idol worshipper. So I
became aware that he's an idol worshipper. So one day I also went to his house,
and he said I should follow him, so I followed him.
He
took me to a certain place, and we took some leaves, like he took some leaves
from certain trees. And then he brought it back to his idol place. That is
where he lives. At that time, he lived with his parents near our house.
Our
house was not all that far from their place. So when he took me to this bushy
place, he plucked some leaves from certain trees, and brought them back to his
idol place, I was with him. When we went to the place to pluck these leaves, he
was the one plucking them, and I was just watching him.
So
when we came back to his idol center, initially, there was a pot in front of
his idol shrine. There was a pot in front of the shrine, and inside it was
water. The pot had a hole under it. This friend had plugged a kind of tree, a
kind of stick, beneath the pot, and the water wasn't flowing down, even though
there were holes under the pot. But no water was coming out of the pot.
So
he took the pot and then poured the water away. And then, after he and I went
with him to take the leaves from the bush, he washed them with some water. And
then he poured new water into that pot and began to make some incantations over
it.
So
while he was making the incantation, the water was coming out. I saw, as I
could, that water was coming out of the pot! As he continued his incantation,
the water in the pot suddenly stopped flowing.
I
saw a hole under the pot, but after making the incantation with the leaves and
some words, the water did not come out again. And then he took some of the
leaves that we went out to pluck from the bush.
And
then he took some kind of thread. He wrapped the thread around my waist and gave
me some of the water inside the pot to drink. The pot upon which he made the
incantation. So I drank a little.
And
then he took some thread and some leaves, wrapped them around my waist, and
made some kind of incantation. And then at that time he allowed me to undress,
but it was left in my boxers.
That
is, it was only left with my boxers. So, after he gave me some of the water to
drink, he just made an incantation and took away the leaves and the thread from
me. When he took the leaves and the thread away from me, he bathed me with some
of the water inside the pot.
And
then he took those leaves and that thread to a certain place. I don't know why
he made that incantation. Maybe I believe he was trying to make some kind of
sacrifice or ceremonial sacrifice on me.
So
after he made that sacrifice, he made that incantation, then he bathed me with
that water.
He
now told me that anytime I'm in trouble, I should call upon a certain god. He
gave me that name.
The
name of the god was Nana Jojo Hadwo. He told me that— that friend of mine told
me that, maybe in case I'm in trouble and need help, I should call upon that
god. And the name of that god, he told me to mention, was, I remember, Nana
Jojo Hadwo.
That
is what he told me, that I should mention that name. So after he did all those
things to my life, I became more troublesome and very stubborn at home. And
then whatever he told me, I followed.
A
time came, and he was very close to me. Like we walked together, we go to
places. And a time came when he even wanted to give me a ring, and I didn't
take it. By the grace of God, I didn't take that ring.
So
what happened was that I needed some money to buy a specific laptop. I already
had a laptop, but I wanted to get a modern laptop, like an i7, and then those
templates. And I wanted to buy many, many things.
And
I was asking my parents for the money to buy those things, but they weren't
giving it to me. So I told that friend of mine he should consult his gods and
have his god make me some money, because I wanted that money to buy those
modern laptops.
So
one day he called me, and we went to his idol-worship center. And then he made an
incantation, called upon his god, shouted and cried, and did many other things,
but nothing happened.
So
he told me that my issue is that we need to consult a more experienced juju
priest who can do it better than he can. So he took me to an old man in Monrovia.
It was near Koforidua Apenkwa. He took me to an old man in Monrovia.
When
he took me to the old man in Monrovia, when we went to the old man's place, the
old man told us to buy him two cigarettes and some small alcohol. So we went to
buy the two cigarettes and then the alcohol, and then we brought it back to the
old man.
So
the old man took it and entered his idol, his shrine, and within minutes, he
came back. And he told us that he has consorted with his gods. Initially, I saw
that place as extremely diabolical because it seemed to be reserved only for
him.
He
did not allow us to enter with him in that place. He only went there, and my
friend and I were standing outside his old house. So when he came out from the
shrine, he told us that he had consulted his gods.
And
after consulting his gods, his gods are saying that there are only two ways
that he can help me. It is either he gives me a “pocket no dry.” Now, what he
said was that this “pocket no dry”—like he would give me an amount of money,
let's say 50 Ghana cedis —and I can use that money to buy anything I want.
When
I buy anything I want, I should make sure I do not exceed that amount. So let's
say he gives me 50 Ghana cedis, and then I'll go to any shop and buy whatever I
want. When I buy something from the shop, I should not spend more than the 50
Ghana cedis he gave me.
So
after I give out that money, the balance that comes to me, that 50 Ghana, will
return to my wallet. So that's what he told me. And then he told me again that
I should look into my family, the second option that he gave to me.
So
he told me that I should look into my family, the richest one in my family, and
bring that person's belongings. He will make some chants, and then he can
change the person's mind so that, no matter what I tell that person, the person
will give me whatever I need.
So
he told me to think about it. So I just thought through, and I said this thing,
I'm not sure. With my friend, I didn't agree with either option. And then he
told us that he also knows another greater juju man, or a priest who can also
do it.
Because
I told the old man that I wanted that instant money to do what I wanted. And my
friend was the one who was taking me to these people. So the old man said that
he would take us to a certain place.
Now
I've gotten that place, but that place, when you're going to Suhum in the
Eastern Region of Ghana, it is a village. I know that place. If you say I
should show you that place, I can show you that place.
So
we went to that place, and the old man led us there. That's how the old man led
us to the place. So we went to the place. It is a village. The old man told us
that we should buy some alcohol.
We
bought some alcohol and then he led us to that shrine. We went to that shrine. From
that time, I did not see the old man again, the one who brought us to the idol
worshipper in that village.
So
by the grace of God, we met— I’m saying the grace of God— well, we met the
people in that place. And then I told him my problem. And then he told me he'd
need some materials. The priest told me he'll need a marine hair, a dwarf, and
something like strange things.
And
then I told him I couldn't provide those things. Is there any way out? And he
told me that if I have money, I can give it out, and then he has a friend who
can go to Togo and buy all the things they need for the sacrifice.
So
at that time, I had my school fees with me, along with the hostel fees I was
supposed to pay at the university. They were on me. So I gave him a portion of
the money, and he told me that he would go and buy all those materials, so we
should take our time.
Initially,
I went back with David, my friend who had taken me to that old man, to that
place. So he told us to come back in three days. So, three days later, we came
back, and he told us they had gone to buy the materials.
So
now I have to go buy perfume, powder, a nice perfume, and many, many other
things he told me I should buy. So that he can use those things to make the
ritual. So he told us to go and buy those things.
So
we took a car and went back to Koforidua to buy the powder, the perfume, some
kind of good-smelling material, and a bag. That's the money that we will use to
carry our money. So I also bought an exercise book—sorry, a bag with that
powder and all those things —and then we came back to the shrine.
So
when we returned to the shrine, he performed some incantations inside the
shrine. When you're entering, you have to remove your sandals. So my friend and
I removed our sandals and entered there.
And
since my friend was an idol worshipper, he understood them. There were two
inside the shrine with my friend, so we were four in total. So the man brought
a pot and then poured some powder into it.
And
added some kind of materials, and he was making some incantation. He was like
chanting, like he was shouting, chanting, making some incantations. Then he
told me to go bathe with that water in the pot.
And
whilst I am bathing, I should tell the god what I want. He gave me the name of
the god, but I have forgotten it. So he told me to go bathe with that water. Beside
the house, there was a bathhouse.
And
he told me that after bathing, when I'm coming back, I should not look backward;
if I do, something may happen to me. So I took the pot and then went into the
bathroom beside the shrine.
And
then, as I was bathing with the water in the pot, I mentioned the god's name
and said I wanted money; I wanted to buy this. Like I told him, all my heart
desires — all that I needed — as I was making the confession and bathing with
the water.
After
bathing with the water in the pot, as I was going back to the shrine, I could
feel that something was following me. I could feel like I was very heavy — like
something. I could feel in my heart that something was following me.
I
remembered he told me that I should not look back; who knows, if I looked back,
maybe I would have gone mad or died. I believe that God saved me from this
trap. So I went back to the shrine, and then he told me that he had made
incantations several times.
He
even showed me a thread — some kind of thread — and told me he has even sent
some of his dwarves to the banks to collect the money, but they still can't
take it from the bank. So he was saying that in my house, the powers are
strong, so I have to be more vigilant.
So
after making several incantations, he brought out 20 Ghana cedis. And he told
me to go share the money with my family. When I share the money in my family,
the money will come back into my bag.
So
I told him I cannot share the money with my family because my parents know I am
in school. Because when I went with my friend to that place, at that time, they
had given me money to go to school.
So
at that time, my parents knew I was in school, while I was with my friend who
had taken me there. So I told him that I cannot send the money to my family and
then share it with them. So he told me to go outside the shrine, then bring the
first leaf I saw into the shrine.
So
I went out and plugged the first leaf I set my eye on. I just unplugged the
leaf and brought it to the juju man or the priest. And he told me again that I
should walk barefoot to a junction, then take some dust from under my feet.
He
told me that when I get to the junction, I should get some sand or dust under
my feet and then bring it to him. Because he's going to use it for something —
I don't know what he was going to use it for.
So
I just walked barefoot to the junction, then picked up some sand under my foot
and brought it to him at the shrine. After I gave it to him, he told me that
everything was okay. So now I can share the 20 cedis with anyone I meet on the
road or anyone I want to give it to. Or I should buy something with the money
and give it out to friends or anybody.
Now,
let me just share this thing here. Loved ones in Christ, when someone gives you
money, you must pray over the money because some money is very, very, very
dangerous. Some forms of money are not physical.
Some
of the money that you have been dying for — if you don't take care, somebody
can give you some money, and you might die because they have made some kind of
charms over the money.
So
my advice is to not be too covetous of money. Because when he gave me that
money, he told me to go share it with my family. And I objected that I cannot
share the money with my family. And he told me that, since I could not do that,
he gave me another option: I was to walk barefoot to a junction, and he would
take some sand from under my feet.
Maybe
— I don't know — he was going to use that sand to monitor me. So when he gave
me 20 Ghana cedis, he told me to share some of the money with the people in the
household where he lives.
So
when I came out of the shrine, I gave out 10 Ghana cedis to the people in the
house. And then from there, I took a car straight from Koforidua to Madina —
that is where my school was. So, in Madina, in a taxi, I encountered a girl, a
lady.
As
I was talking to the lady, I told her I wanted to be friends, so if she likes,
we can be friends. As I was talking with her, something occurred to me that I
should give her the remaining 10 cedis there.
But
in my heart, I wasn't feeling well. So, as I was about to give her the money, I
felt it wasn't right. But I don't know what happened — the lady resisted and
didn't take the money from me. So that money was on me, and I went into the
hostel.
When
I went to the hostel, the school was resuming, so there weren't many people
there. I was the only one in the room, waiting for my roommate. And there were a
few students around the hostel.
So
I slept, and the next day it was Sunday. And at the university, we usually go
for CYF every Sunday evening — that is, Covenant Youth Fellowship. That is
where we have our regular student church program.
So
every Sunday evening, a brother comes into the hostel and takes us to this
church meeting. So when he came into the room, he told me to join him and them
in the church meeting. But something was pressing me to not go.
And
something was telling me that if I don't give out the money, I'm going to die. Like
Satan was telling me in the spirit, someone was pressing me whilst I was in the
room. So I told the brother, "Brother, please, I cannot go with you today;
let us make it another day."
But
I don't know what happened — this brother was still pressuring me. I think the
brother was called Brother Francis. God bless that man for having the time. Because
I told him I would not go, I cannot go, but this brother was pushing me to go
with him.
What
would have happened if I had not gone with him? Because before I could even
come to the hostel, sometimes when I'm sleeping, I could feel that someone was
trying to attack me. But with all these things, God still had mercy upon me.
So
this brother was able to take me to the church meeting, the CYF (Covenant Youth
Fellowship). So when I went to the church, something in me told me to confess. I
don't know what came over me, but I felt in my heart that I should make a
confession. Because I could feel that if I don't make a confession and leave
this church, if I go to the hostel, I might die.
So
I went straight to the pastor and said, "Pastor, I have a confession to
make." "I've gone to a shrine, and they have told me to make some
sacrifice and then shed some money, so I'm afraid I would die."
The
pastor told me not to be afraid; just let me tell the church. So I made a
confession at CYF.
I
remember, I think the pastor at that time was Pastor Philip, I think. After
making the confession, he told me to put the 10 cedis into the offering bowl.
So
I just put the remaining 10 cedis into the offering bowl. Then he gave me some
water to drink; he told me it was the blood of Jesus, so I should drink it. When
I drank the water, he laid his hands upon me and prayed for me.
And
he told me that nothing bad will happen to me. So when the juju man or the
priest calls me, I should not respond. And that was how our God set me free
from that power of darkness.
Loved
ones in Christ, my advice to you is what would have happened if the brother had
not come into the hostel and taken me? You must understand that Jesus Christ
has power over every force of darkness.
The
friends that you choose, or the friends that you try to fellowship with, can
lead you into destruction. In my case, it was a friend who lured me into this
idol worship and strange places.
Out
of covetousness, he led me to that place, and that friend was used by the devil
to destroy my life. The devil knew that God had something good for me, so he
wanted to terminate my life. As I'm talking right now, the friend who led me into
that idolatry is now a man of God.
He
is a preacher serving in a small ministry, a church. And by the grace of God,
God has set me free from the powers of darkness. What would have happened
because, as I went through all those things, I could see death.
I
could feel death. I could sense death near me once I went to that place. Because
after I bathed with all those things — with that water, with that powder, and
all those things — I could feel that some spirits were trying to possess me
spiritually.
Trying
to torment me — I could feel death all around me. But Jesus Christ delivered
me. So loved ones in Christ, be careful with the friends you choose. The Bible
says in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Be not unequally yoked with
unbelievers." For what has light to do with darkness?
So,
as a Christian, you must know which friends you choose. Because the friends you
choose can either make you or unmake you. In my case, it was a friend who
wanted to destroy my life. The devil was using my friend to destroy my life.
So
it means that if I had died at that time, all the books that God was about to
use me to write would have been a waste of time. All that God wanted to use me
to do in these end times would have been a waste.
Because
the devil saw my star, the devil saw what God was about to do with me. He
wanted to use a channel to destroy my life. Child of God, there is something
that God has for you, and you must understand that the devil has studied you.
He
wants to use covetousness, he wants to use ungodly friends, and he wants to use
others to destroy your Christian life. Child of God, don't allow covetousness. Don't
allow ungodly friends.
Choose
wise friends. Choose friends who fear God. Friends that walk in the holiness of
Christ, friends that love Jesus Christ, that love God. God has set me free from
the trap of the wicked one.
And
I believe that Jesus Christ can also save you and set you free from every trap
of the wicked one if only you believe. The name of Jesus Christ is above every
other name. The name of Jesus Christ is above every other principality.
The
Bible says, "At the name of Jesus Christ every knee must bow, and every
tongue must confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." All the water that my
friend used to bathe me with, all the thread used to bathe me, and all that I
went through.
The
man at the shrine told me to bathe with that enchanted water. He commanded me
that I shouldn't look back. If I had looked back, I don't know what would have
happened; I may have died or gone mad.
But
Jesus Christ set me free from the traps of the wicked one. So loved ones in
Christ, believe that Jesus Christ has a purpose for you. Don't allow the devil,
don't allow the enemy to destroy your Christian life.
You
are called to be a pastor. You are called to be an evangelist. You are called
to be a teacher. You are called to be an apostle. You are called to be a
prophet. You are called to be a soul winner.
Win
souls in the church. Be a shepherd in a church. Be a leader. God is calling you
out of that darkness to be a light unto others. The money that you are striving
for cannot save you. The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all
evil.
Money
is not evil, but the love of money can make you do evil. At the time, it was
the love of money that led me to these shrines. It was the love of money that
opened the portal for the enemy to access my life.
It
was the love of money that was leading me to my premature death. It was the
love of money that made this friend of mine take me into these shrines and
abominable places. So child of God, don't allow the temptations of this world
to destroy you. The devil came to tempt Jesus Christ; he told Him to turn the
stone into bread.
But
Jesus Christ told him that man shall not live by bread alone. The devil wants
to substitute the things of God for temporal possessions. He wants everyone to
just use the mansions and all the things that we see around to destroy our
Christian life.
Concentrate
on Jesus Christ. Be focused on Jesus Christ. Love Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ
has everything that we are fighting for. Jesus Christ can make a way where
there seems to be no way.
All
things belong to Jesus Christ. So loved ones in Christ, never allow the devil.
Never allow temptations. Never allow ungodly friends. Never allow the things
that you see around you to destroy your Christian virtue.
Be
focused and love Jesus Christ. Be in the church. Help others. Pray for others. There
is a gift God has given you; you can help others with it. I'll not talk very
much. If you know you are not born again, you have not given your life to Jesus
Christ. I want you to give your life to Jesus Christ. You can lift up your two
hands and pray right after me. You say:
"Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of
Jesus Christ, Lord. I am a sinner and I need your mercy. I confess Jesus Christ
as my Lord and my Savior. Say: Lord Jesus, help me and empower me in this end
time." Amen.”
If
you have prayed after me, believe that all your sins are washed away by the
blood of Jesus Christ. Find a Bible-believing church and fellowship with them. This
