@ Divine, say that again. These sign or bill boards show directions to those evil places. The devil doesn't give anything for free. They'll definitely kill a human being for rituals. Yet, the gov't are not doing anything about it. Hmmm, oh Ghana. May Almighty God have mercy on us.

SMALL BOYS ARE YOUNG. PRIMARY SCHOOL BOYS LOOKING FOR MONEY, TOO BAD. THIS HAS BECOME THE BANE OF OUR YOUTH ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE GOOD IN LIFE. WHAT TOOK US OVER 20 MORE YEARS TO ACQUIRE. THEY JUST WANT TO HAVE IN NO TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, THE BOY CAN BE SENT TO COURT FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER AND JAILED BIG TIME . AS FOR THE OTHER GUYS , NOTHING CAN BE DONE (MERELY VISITING THE JUJUMAN IS NO CRIME)

We have over the years used the word "fetish priest" to refer to both an African traditional priest and a sorcerer. Not all African traditional priests are sorcerers "evil". An "evil" Christian pastor, Moslem cleric, Hindu priest can become or termed sorcerer if he manipulates the knowledge of the supernatural for selfish and evil gains. I am not trying to educated us in the use of this word but not to condenm or commend any religious belief. Thanks.

The world is really coming to it end as recorded in the bible 2Timothy 3: 1-17.
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die Prov 23:13

Proverbs 13:24
He who withholds his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him diligently.
Proverbs 19:18
Discipline your son while there is hope, And do not desire his death.
Proverbs 23:12
Apply your heart to discipline And your ears to words of knowledge
New Living Translation
I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.Revelation 20:12

Parent should be the first to instill decipline into their children then come society, forgetting God will judge all a day to come.

The blatantly greed-driven society is causing people to do the unthinkable. How can children be so heartless as to want to kill their parents?

Robinho, if you read the article, the attempted killings of the fathers was directed by the so-called fetish priest. These bad boys would kill their mothers if asked to.

When it comes to things of the spirit, the world has no clue as to what is of God and what is not.

Thus, we have all manner deceptive people parading their boards everywhere claiming to provide spiritual assistance to humanity.

Infact, one board even advertises someone claiming to be an awaited Messiah. Thank God, however, for his WORD, a knowledge of which sets us free, to disabuse our minds of all manner of deceptions by Satan who often disguises as an angel of Light.
And just as our Lord Jesus Christ said of the thieves who claimed to be Messiahs before Christ came in the flesh, so has he forewarned that we been mindful of such deceptions of our time. Indeed, Satan came to steal, kill and destroy(John 10,10)

It is the responsibility of every individual to come to the knowledge of God, as in the Jewish Scriptures, the very one that Christ HIMSELF read and attested to its TRUTHFULNESS, all pointing to Christ.

It is this TRUTH that parents, guardians, schools and the community, ought to instill in the children, so that they may not depart from it as they grow up.

And for those engaged in all manner of abominations, including consulting the Fetishes, shrines, and engaging in animal sacrifices etc., the Mercy of God is calling for repentance, for death can knock at one's door any time.

I encourage the youth to develop themselves, spiritually, through the reading of the Scriptures and Fellowship as well as battling in prayers.

Most Churches have midweek meetings where they study the WORD and pray. It an opportunity or an arena of liberty for you to develop yourself.

Let heaven and earth bear witness to being present in such gatherings where you develop yourself in the TRUTH so that you might not be deceived in future.

This is a concern to all. Punitive measures must be duly tested on these devil incarnates.
