The Digest:
Nigerian gospel minister Nathaniel Bassey has recounted how an alleged traditional spiritualist attempted to place him under a spell along an express road but failed. Speaking during a worship session, Bassey said the man, whom he referred to as a "juju man," knocked on his car and began casting an enchantment, attempting to influence him to "do something." Bassey responded by declaring Bible verses, including "Touch not my anointed" and Numbers 23:23: "There is no enchantment against Jacob." He said he stepped out of his car and ordered the man to leave, regretting he did not detain him for police. Bassey emphasised the account was not to boast but to highlight "spiritual wickedness and the power of faith."
Key Points:
- The testimony reinforces belief in spiritual warfare and divine protection among Christian faithful.
- It generates discussion on the intersection of traditional religion and contemporary faith practices.
- Bassey's narrative strengthens his followers' faith, while skeptics question the encounter's veracity.
- This signals the ongoing relevance of spiritual warfare narratives in Nigerian gospel circles.
- The timing, during worship, integrates the testimony into spiritual teaching.
