Every geographical area has its own bewitchment peculiar to that area. The modus operandi of wicked human beings vary from place to place. In attacking their victims what they use also varies from one place to another.
In the books of books,There was a man named Simon.He was a sorcerer and he used sorcery to bewitch people.See,there is something known as sorcery.
With the weapon of sorcery in the hand of Simon, he bewitched a whole city. So, it is possible to bewitch a whole city and if a whole city could be bewitched, don't be surprised then that a family, land or career could be bewitched. Simon used sorcery and bewitched the people of Samaria.It is also possible that a whole nation can be bewitched.
To bewitch means to capture, control, hypnotize or put a person under a spell. So, bewitchment is not a good thing at all. This is why the Book of books says in Gal 3:1,
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
What it now means is that when a person is not living in truth,he or she is bewitched.
Many people in our nation are behaving like the people of Samaria that we've just read about. The people of Samaria were under so much suffering but they were smiling, but never realized it. They were working and operating under blindness and illusions and they never knew.
The people of Samaria were praising the very man who was destroying them the way our youths are praising politicians. The people of Samaria did not know who Simon really was; he was sapping them dry, but they believed he was delivering them from their National problems. He was destroying them thoroughly and properly and was blinding their eyes. They (the Samarians) were hailing their enemies. When a man is bewitched, your enemy looks like your friend and vice versa; you are under a spell - you are bewitched!
Internationally speaking,look at the United States.When a racist and a talkative is not yet their president,he has inserted racism and hate into the American citizens.don't you know that when that kind of person becomes the President of The United States of America,America is finished.When he has done is using the instrument of bewitchment to brainwash many Americans and they dont realise it.
Destruction had already settled over Samaria. Sadness was everywhere even if the people are suffering,they were smiling.
Brainwashing of bewitchment had possessed many people. Nevertheless, they went about well dressed and about their business. Successful businessmen in Samaria were blinded by wicked men. There was sickness in the land, but it never bothered them. There was trouble in the land, but it never bothered them, yet, they felt strangely normal. They thought Simon was the answer to their problems whereas he was the question and the problem.
So slowly and ironically, the people of Samaria were dying, yet praising the very one who was drowning their boat. Why? They were bewitched.
It was because they have left the place of truth and held unto lies and deception. It blindfolded them that they started to see lies as truth.
Coating a poisonous tablet in gold does not remove the poison or covering a rotten bad egg with flour to make it scotch egg does not remove the spoilage. Cleaning up a pig and installing a pig in an air conditioned room does not affect the nature of the pig. This is what is called bewitchment.
You started drinking a bottle of beer and you have gotten to a level where the bottle controls you. You now find yourself holding the bottle singing, "I believe I can fly", when you cannot even walk properly. Now, the bottle - an inanimate object - is controlling a huge man. that is bewitchment.
If we don't break free from National bewitchment,it will destroy our nation.
I remain yours
