Foreword
The testimony you will read is that of a young Cameroonian, Martin Tsala Essomba, who served the devil for more than ten years, and whom the Lord Jesus Christ delivered on February 22, 1992.
This is one of the most striking testimonies of our century. This man, in spite of his youth, has frequented the world of darkness for a long time. He reached the highest levels of Satanism and worked to extend the kingdom of Satan. But it is also through this man that the Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated that He was the Almighty, the only true God, a delivering God, the Savior of sinners. Thanks to the conversion of Martin Tsala Essomba, the Lord also saved Cameroon and all of Central Africa from great misfortune.
Satan had succeeded in using in a double manner this young man with a very gentle aspect, from 1981, the year when he reached a higher level of sorcery. By means of this young man, the devil had secured direct access to Cameroon, Martin's native land, and, from Cameroon to all of Central Africa and the entire African continent.
The work that the devil has accomplished in Cameroon is very important. But it is a country that is dear to the heart of the Lord. Many years before Martin's entry into the kingdom of darkness, Satan had inscribed Cameroon on his "blackboard." For this country, like many others all over the world, threw trouble into the activities of Satan. The Bible tells us in 1 John 5:19 that the whole world is under the power of the evil one. But the beginning of this verse affirms that those who have accepted Jesus Christ are of God.
This book does not claim to be a book of general culture or teaching. Rather, it aims to warn the various Christian communities around the world.
The Word of God tells us in the Epistle of Paul to the Ephesians (Ephesians 6:12) that "we do not have to fight against flesh and blood, but against dominions, against the authorities, against the princes of this world of darkness, against evil spirits in the heavenly places. " All these enemies of the Christian have only one chief, who is the devil, the very one who governs all contemporary events, unbeknownst to the leaders of this world.
INTRODUCTION WHO IS SATAN?
The Bible tells us about Satan. In the Old Testament, we see that an astonishing thing happened in heaven, something that had never happened before. Jealousy has invaded the heart of the archangel Lucifer, to the point that he wanted to take the place of God and to receive from the other angels the worship that came to God alone. Lucifer became proud. He conceived in his heart an infernal plan. He wanted to convince other angels to join him in order to overthrow God. A third of the angels followed him. Lucifer had become so thirsty for power that he wanted to declare war on God Himself (Rev. 12:4).
Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth.
In his madness, Lucifer forgot that he was a mere creature. So God hurled Lucifer out of heaven, he and the angels who had followed him. The name of Lucifer has been changed to that of Satan,
The angels who formed the army of Satan were transformed into demons. Millions of these creatures sought a place to live and eventually went to live around a particular planet. Soon after, the first man appeared on this planet, and Satan was there to welcome him. The appearance on earth of a new creature made Satan furious, for the earth was his dwelling.
God did not "evolve" man, as is taught to children in schools. The theory of evolution and the idea that man descended from the ape are diabolical lies. The Bible says that Christ formed man from the dust of the earth. He breathed into his nostrils a breath of life, and man became a living being (Genesis 2: 7).
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
The Lord created Eve by plunging Adam into a deep sleep and pulling out of his body a rib. On this rib, God formed the woman (Genesis 2:22).
Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman and brought her unto the man.
Adam and Eve loved the garden of Eden, the place where God had placed them. They loved animals and everything that was in this place of perfection. Unfortunately for them, Satan detected a weakness in the wife of Adam. Satan wanted at all costs to communicate with Eve in the Garden of Eden. One of the animals God created was the serpent. The devil took possession of the serpent. He entered the serpent and used him to speak to Eve.
The devil is still following the same tactic today. The angels of Satan, the demons, inhabit bodies that are not immersed in the blood of Jesus Christ. Satan did not approach Adam, for he had himself given names to all the animals of the earth. He would have recognized on the spot that an external power dominated the serpent. Eve did not have that knowledge. This lack of knowledge destroys the people of God even to this day, for it is written, "My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge" (Hosea 4: 6).
God had given Adam dominion over the whole earth. Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
That is why Satan wanted to dethrone Adam, as he had tried to do with God in heaven. This time Satan succeeds. Satan succeeded in persuading Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. He hoped that in his love for Eve, Adam would listen to his wife's voice and eat it too. To his delight, this is precisely what happened. The glory of the Most High God left Adam and his wife. For the first time, they realized that they were naked. They had sinned against God (Genesis 3:6-7). Sin, being a mortal poison, could not be consumed in the kingdom of God. They had to appear before the Lord and submit to His judgment.
Gen 3:6-7 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
They had just died spiritually. When man sins, he seeks to blame someone else, and that's what Adam did. God had asked Adam if he had eaten the fruit He had forbidden him to eat (Genesis 3:11).
Gen 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Adam sought to make God guilty in this affair. He replied to God, "The woman whom you have put with me has given me the fruit of the tree, and I have eaten it" (Genesis 3:12). In other words, Adam told God that He was responsible because He had given her this woman. But God made Adam guilty of what had happened.
The heart of God was broken. He was the Father of Adam and Eve, but now He was to execute the word He had spoken. Before them, stood a righteous God, a God of Truth. He became their judge. The sentence of death was pronounced. God alone could know the terrible chain reactions and the diabolical problems that Eve's disobedience would engender.
God drove them out of the Garden of Eden. The earth was cursed, and it began to produce evil things, such as thorns, evil insects, wild animals, and snakes.
SATAN BECOMES THE MASTER OF THE EARTH
On the legal plane, as on the spiritual plane, Satan became the god of this world. He ordered his demons to take possession of the land and its inhabitants in order to make their home there. Humanity was lost (Luke 4: 6, 2 Corinthians 4: 4, Romans 5:12).
Luk 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will, I give it.
2 Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
That's how it all started. Satan became the master of the earth. From that moment, the history of men was marked by evil. Men have multiplied on earth, but only a few have obeyed the voice of God. At that time, the condition of humanity was very similar to that of today. It was characterized by homosexuality, rape, murder, revolutions, etc.
Satan pressed more and more on the accelerator, ordering his demons of jealousy, hatred, envy, murder, adultery, fornication, sickness, murmuring, disobedience, anger, worry, lust, egoism, etc., to transform the earth into an occult center. Satan aims to install a global super-religion, of which God would be excluded, and who should rule all the peoples of the earth. This diabolical system has been so well conceived that there are sects and religions which bear different names throughout the world in all countries. But it is only occultism camouflaged behind the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The battlefield of Satan is the Church. His main opponent is the Christian. Where true believers found a church of God, Satan comes behind them and sets up his own false church, to destroy their work (1 Timothy 4:1-3).
1 Tim 4:1-3 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron. Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Satan prefers to infiltrate believers, rather than fight them head-on. It was then that he began to sow divisions and compromises among the Christians. Christians thus fall under the power of sin and the idolatry of materialism and wealth. Satan uses men to make women fall, and women to bring down men. Satan used great means to destroy the Church of God. Money is the principal of these means.
It is for money that one of the disciples of Jesus delivered Him into the hands of the Pharisees. Money is the root of all evil.
Many people wonder why God, who is the Almighty, has not destroyed the devil after the latter has succeeded in pushing the man to disobedience.
They do not know that if the Creator had destroyed Satan, He would have ceased to be God, and His power would have been ignored on earth. The Lord God uses the works of the devil to demonstrate His power. The world does not recognize the existence of God, although what is known of God is manifest to them, God has made known to them.
Rom 1:19-20 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
If the Lord had destroyed the devil, through which works would the power of God have manifested itself? Following the lies of Satan, the present world believes that man was not created by God, that this earth was not created by God, the Father Creator of all things, and that the universe and the man were born as a result of an explosion. What blasphemous lies! If this corrupt world tells all this, after seeing the power of God as with the naked eye, what could he have told us if the Creator had destroyed the devil? His power would not be manifested in the midst of this world, which even denies the existence of the devil.
Yet the Lord Jesus knew the existence of the devil. He told the Pharisees that their father was the devil and that they wanted to fulfill the desires of their father (John 8:44).
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it.
It is because of the devil that the Bible was written. The devil was also a reality for the Pharisees, for they said to Jesus, "Are we not right to say that you are a Samaritan and that you have a demon? (John 8:48)
The apostles of Jesus all knew the existence of the devil. Matthew tells us of a conversation between Jesus and the devil, "Then Jesus was led away by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil. After having fasted for forty days and forty nights, He was hungry. And the tempter came and said unto Him, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones shall become loaves. Jesus answered and said, It is written, Man will not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. The devil took Him to the holy city, placed Him on the top of the temple, and said to Him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; For it is written, "He will give His angels orders concerning you, and they will bear you on your hands, lest your foot strike against a stone."
Jesus said to him, It is also written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And the devil carried Him again to a high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory, and said unto Him, I will give thee all these things if thou wilt bow down and worship me.
Jesus said to him, Remember, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and thou shalt serve Him alone."(Matthew 4: 1-10).
In reading these few lines, one perfectly understands the work of Satan on earth.
But today, most of the world denies the existence of the devil. Some accept its existence only superficially. Some Christians even denigrate the power of this prince of darkness.
Brothers and sisters, do not doubt for a moment the existence of the devil. The devil is an intelligent creature, a powerful spirit. Do not forget that he was the highest of the angels of God. We see his works everywhere. Just take a look at your neighborhood, brothels, nightclubs, night streets, and wherever the pagan populations are unfamiliar with Christ. Do you think that men and women filled with the Holy Spirit, and able to see things spiritually, would act this way if they were not driven by an invisible power? Do you think that educated, intelligent men and women, with good intentions to live in peace in their homes, in government or in business would instigate civil unrest, riots, and wars if they were not driven by an invisible power?
Do you believe that children of God truly possessing the Spirit of God and truly walking with God could behave as they sometimes do, that is, abandon God's way to run after the marabouts or healers, or practice witchcraft within the Church, if they were not really driven by a force?
Do you believe that men and women who call themselves true Christians could abandon the true teaching of Jesus to follow false prophets, false pastors and false apostles if they were not driven by an invisible force?
The Word of God nevertheless warns us of what will happen: "Knowing first of all yourselves that no prophecy of writing can be an object of particular interpretation. For it is not by a man's will that a prophecy has ever been brought forth, but it is driven by the Holy Spirit that men have spoken on behalf of God. " (2 Peter 1: 20,21)
The Bible also warns us against the false prophets in this same epistle: "There are false prophets among the people, and false teachers will also be among you, who will sneakily introduce pernicious sects. Denying the master who redeemed them, will draw upon them a sudden ruin. Many will follow them in their dissolutions, and the way of truth will be calumniated because of them." (2 Peter 2:1-2)
The reality and the authenticity of this prophecy are already seen with the naked eye. Pentecostal churches now follow their own teachings and practices. Pastors work for themselves, for their bellies. They have abandoned the teaching and practices required by the Lord Jesus Christ. They are masters and ingenious in the matter of sin, having above all the appearance of piety. By the love of money, they became the detractors of the Gospel and put all their intelligence to fight Christ, being disguised as angels of light. The way they appreciate the Lord, their way of following the Lord, and their obedience to the Lord Jesus is limited to the observation of a number of basic truths, commonly defined by so-called Theological Schools.
When Satan endeavored to divert man and separate him from his Creator God, he used honeyed words and the attraction of knowledge. The man was turned away from his God by this attractive promise: "Thou shalt know."
Today the devil always uses the same words! That is why he has inspired everywhere the creation of Institutes of Theology, where the will of man is taught more than the will of God. Only the Holy Spirit of God is able to teach men the truth and justice of God. Let us not forget that the Lord Jesus came to save men, and teach them the Word of Life. He promised us that after His departure He would send us the One who was to replace Him, the Holy Spirit, who is One with Jesus Christ Himself and the Creator Father. "And these three are one" (1 John 5: 7).
1Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
This verse is in the Bibles translated from the original complete texts. Some versions have been translated from texts amputated by Satan, who speak only of the Spirit, water, and blood. Satan has always struggled to amputate the Word of God, and man has once again fallen into his trap.
The man is content to brandish his degrees of Theology. Will the Lord ask you for your diplomas on the last day? Especially if they are diplomas attributed by the devil! The only diploma which the Lord recognizes is that of a conqueror in the combat which enables us to oppose the devil.
"Let him that hath an ear hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." To him that overcometh, I will give to eat of the tree of life which is in the heaven of God " (Rev. 2: 7). "Let him that hath an ear hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." He that overcometh shall not suffer the second death " (Rev. 2:11). "Let him that hath an ear hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." To him, that overcometh will I give the hidden manna, and I will give him a white pebble, and on this pebble is written a new name, which no one knows except the one who receives it" (Rev. 2:17). "To him that overcometh, and will keep My works to the end, I will give authority over the nations. He shall feed them with a rod of iron, as one breaks the vessels of clay, as I have received the power of My Father. And I will give him the morning star " (Rev. 2: 26,27). "He that overcometh shall be clothed with white garments. I will not blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and His angels " (Rev. 3: 5).
The true diploma of God is eternal life. Only the Holy Spirit can teach the Christian and lead him without fail into the depths of the Word of God.
