It is good to reject the devil and accept God. We are children of God who are created according to God’s own image and gifted with natural intelligence, which helps us to judge and choose between good and evil.
The clever people do not praise the devil, but they praise God in order to bless them and lengthen their days on the earth.
According to the Bible, we are only told to honour God and dishonour Satan because the failure of mankind to inherit the kingdom of God on earth originated from the devil. After all, the devil had convinced the first man and woman to sin by eating the fruit of the forbidden tree, which was in the middle of the Garden of Eden.
In this case, the Bible is frank in giving us the warning message about the danger of praising the devil and dishonouring God.
But due to desperate searching for temporary earthly kingdoms that are good to enrich our lives on the earth, many people worship the devil to be blessed with ephemeral wealth and leadership, despite it being against the command of God.
To make the matter worse, many cases of death tolls caused by the devil are happening around the world, and this is because the majority of people around the world have committed themselves to the worship of idols other than God. An example of a leading nation in the worship of the devil worldwide is South Sudan.
This is because the people of South Sudan have believed in the devil as the only supernatural power who can provide them whatever they want within a short period of time.
On the one hand, the devil blesses the people, and on the other hand, the devil curses the people, and the rampant death that is happening globally as a consequence of demonic worship is not only affecting the world alone, but it is also affecting South Sudan, because many leaders and common citizens in South Sudan die every year.
This is because they are possessed by the demon to choose evil, and they have sacrificed their lives to worship the devil so that they may be blessed with temporary wealth.
Furthermore, the devil has become powerful, and it has already conquered the whole world through its devilish power.
Many problems are happening at the international level and in Africa, and this is because we have refused to worship God and only opted to worship the devil for our own benefit.
The war between Iran and the United States of America, the civil war in South Sudan and Sudan, and many other natural disasters, which are happening in the world and Africa, are examples of demonic plans against the modern man, and we have to keep away from all forms of idolatry for us to be saved by God.
As a truth be told, for the sake of the world, God is counting the number of days and hours in which he is going to punish us.
I am writing to inform the whole world that God is going to punish us globally because we have broken his commandment, which condemns the worship of gods other than him. Before we have not been punished by God, there is still a room for us to repent from our sins that we have committed against him on the earth. Therefore, let us repent from now on so that we shall be forgiven for our sins by God.
