The Adult Crawlers | The Spirit of The Crab by Dr. D.K. Olukoya

The Adult Crawlers

For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgement and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it (Habakkuk 1:6-10)

God is a mighty king. He has raised a mighty army. Kings and heads of nations are fond of raising up an army. The greatest nations ofthe world often pride themselves on their ability to raise the most powerful fighting armies in the world. This explains why most nations invest a great proportion of their budgets on defense.

Some nations actually spend billions of dollars in order to raise up and equip a fighting army. That is how far human beings can go. God the creator of the universe has raised up his army. God’s army cannot be compared with armies of the so-called super powers.

The military training, the weaponry, the sophistication, the effectiveness and the fire power of the best armies in the world are nothing but a child’s play when compared with the armies of God.

The nature and the characteristics of God’s army have been prophetically highlighted by Habakkuk the prophet. It is my prayer. that God will open your understanding to the formation and the workings of God’s army.

God expected His army to achieve lots of military efforts in these last days. Unfortunately, many soldiers of Christ are soldiers only in name. They don’t fight any war. God has raised up a fighting army because of His consciousness of the increase of satanic exploits in these last days. He has given His army extraordinary weapons and skills in order to combat the forces of darkness. If the members of the divine army are really fulfilling their roles, you will hear less of what the devil is doing.

Many soldiers of Christ have been rocked to sleep on the sofa of ease. They are not only asleep, they are snoring. Should the enemies strike, it will take hours to awaken such soldiers to consciousness. By the time such soldiers wake up they may discover that their weapons have been stolen by the enemy. This situation is even worse when we consider the fact that many believers know nothing about the call to spiritual warfare. They live as civilians. They know nothing about the military nature of the Christian walk.

A lot of people have made up their minds to journey to heaven on a bed of roses. Many frown their faces whenever they are confronted with the fact that the Christian is meant to be a soldier. Such people know nothing about God’s end-time army.

Membership in God’s end-time army is not for every Tom, Dick and Harry. It is for those whose hands have been trained to war and fingers to fight. It is for men and women who are ready to fight aggressively: men who are ready to return fire for fire, arrow for arrow and volley for volley.

The fighting army consists of hard core warriors, tested fighters, disciplined combatants and incurable prayer addicts. The only people who can survive in these times are members of the end-time army. Nobody will understand the workings of the end-time army as highlighted in our lead Scripture except somebody who actually enlists in the army and participates in the battle.

God has raised up an aggressive army. God’s soldiers are – not ready to take no, for an answer. They will deride every stronghold and laugh at the mighty. To be precise, they will decide the stronghold of the oppressor.

You must be aggressive if you must fulfill divine goals. Men walk while children crawl. You must be violent if you don’t want to crawl. Evil powers have converted many adults into babies who crawl. They have made many adults to retire and expire. He has made these people adult crawlers. No matter what your age group is, the enemy cannot make you to retire if you are violent spiritually. God is looking for availability not your ability. If you do not meet God’s requirement, you may become redundant.

Something happened to the principal of one of the most popular secondary schools in the country which made her to realize that evil powers are always ready to get rid of those who do not know the Lord. The school happened to be one of the best schools in the country.

Everything went on smoothly until a young student walked -into the office of the principal saying, “Madam, are you the new principal? “The principal did not allow her to finish. She said, “Why are you not in your classroom? You are supposed to be having your lessons at this time. What are you doing outside the class?” The young girl looked at her and said. “That is not the issue. Tell me, are you the new principal? Did anyone tell you what happened to the former principal of this school?” The principal felt that the girl was being rude to her and started threatening to discipline her.

The young girl was unruffled. She continued. “I just came to warn you. The former principal was not praying the way you are doing. He wasn’t praying those types of troublesome prayers. Yet, you don’t have fire. You must be careful. The principal tried to get up from her seat in order to discipline the girl when things became uncontrollable. The principal discovered that everything around her began to turn around. That was how she collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. By the time she opened her eyes she was on the hospital bed with drips being attached to her body through a needle.

She recalled that her last encounter was with an innocent looking young student. She told the teachers who came to visit her. “How did I get here? I thought I was in my office a few minutes ago. What happened?”-To cut the long story short, she was discharged • after a few days. and went back to the school. However, from that day, whenever that principal was walking on the street a wall would suddenly appear before her. Then she would begin to struggle to push the invisible wall down. That was “how she began to have nightmares in broad day light.

Walls often appeared whenever she wanted to cross the street. She would just remain on the same spot struggling with a wall which no other person could see. Drivers would wonder why the woman was behaving as if she was mad. Some would curse her saying, ‘Madam, I’m not going to kill you. you are the one who will kill yourself.” Everybody began to wonder, saying, “How can a first class principal behave this way? What is wrong with her? It was very clear that evil forces were after her life. They wanted to make her to retire and expire.

However, the woman came for prayers, deliverance and counseling. She was given a prayer point which read like this: I refuse to expire, the enemy will not retire me, in the name of Jesus. Then, God delivered her. I don’t just want you to read the prayer point which changed her situation. I also want you to take the prayer point. Close your eyes now, and take the prayer point.

I refuse to expire, and the enemy will not retire me, in the name of Jesus.

I had an encounter with some highly placed Nigerian, a few years ago. This highly respected man was not a member of our church but he came running to me when he discovered that he had a serious problem on his hands. Immediately he entered, he cast aside dignity, pride and honour and began to weep like a baby.

He said, “Man of God, I’m in trouble. This thing would not have happen to me if I had listened to the voice of my wife. Before my wife travelled abroad, she warned me saying, ‘Beware of those street girls. I don’t know what came upon me when I decided to pick a girl which I did not know before. I’m really sorry for what I did. But I have to tell you. I took the girl home only to wake up in the night to discover that I’ve been captured by evil spiritual power. I thought the girl was sleeping but I was surprised when I saw her placing her two legs on the wall. I thought it was an ordinary posture and I tried to wake her up in order to tell her to sleep properly.

“I spent more than thirty minutes calling her, beating her and shaking her violently in order to wake her up. She did not move. I tried to remove the legs from the wall only to discover that irons were not as firmly fixed and solid as those two legs. As strong as I was, I could not remove the two legs from the wall. Then I knew that I was in trouble. I couldn’t shout for help as my domestic staff, my security staff and other employees who lived in our expansive building would wonder who the girl was and where she came from. I broke down, collapsed and cold sweat adorned my face. I almost suffered a heart failure. I couldn’t even tell any of my close friends. I suffered hell that night. I knew I had been attacked spiritually. I’m already in trouble, please, help me. Tell me what to do”.

I simply told him that the only way out is personal deliverance. However, he pleaded with me to arrange it for him in the privacy of his own home. We complied because of his status in the society. God delivered him. Thank God, he came for help before it became too late. There are thousands of V.I.P.’s like him, who have been made to expire by powers of darkness.

It is crystal clear, that many people have been retired and expired by powers of darkness. The devil has no regard for gentlemen and elegant ladies. Members of God’s army have nothing to do with quietness or gentleness. You must be violent to be a member of God’s army.

Take this prayer point as you close your eyes.

I refuse to be a playground of oppression, in the name of Jesus.

Three sisters came for prayer from the Eastern part of Nigeria because they were disturbed about what was happening within their family. They were thirteen in the family. Seven of them died within three months. We prayed and discovered that the members of that family were dying because some enemies had placed a charm on top of a tree in their compound. The members of the family were unaware of the evil charm and they kept on using the leaves of the tree for their native soup.

According to divine revelation, a fetish was planted under   the tree and whoever ate the leaves of the tree was supposed to d.                                   e.

That was exactly what led to the seven people who died in the family. As we prayed further and discovered why members of that family were dying in quick succession, the Holy Spirit revealed that, that family was fighting with another family because of a particular parcel of land. The other family had resorted to the use of charms in order to eliminate every member of that family. The other party was trying to do that in order to claim the land. They knew that once every member of the opponents die, nobody will be able to contend the ownership of the land with them again.

The Lord then instructed that we should pray that the charm is exhumed and sent back to the sender. We did. The following day, the members of the family woke up to discover that the tree had dried to the roots. That was how nobody was dying again. The problem was solved because the three members of the family who were born again came for help. It is also interesting that, the other members of the family who were not born again decided to consult a fetish priest to know why they lost several members of their family. The fetish priest told them that the members of their family were dying because they did not give their dead father a befitting burial. He told them that they had to bring chicken, yam, palm oil, white chalk and other native ingredients which will be used to beg their late father who was angry with them. What saved the family were the three believers who sought for help at the right place.

Why don’t you close your eyes now and take this prayer point?

Every satanic material, burled for my sake, be roasted by fire, In the name of Jesus

Did you take that prayer point with every spiritual strength in you? If you did, I want you to close your eyes once again and take another one. Any power, carrying sacrifices about because of me, be disgraced by the sacrifice, In the name of Jesus.

You must be violent if you want to avoid crawling. All those who are lazy spiritually, cannot avoid crawling as an adult. Light will always win. The power of darkness cannot overcome those who have the light of God in their lives. Light is more aggressive than darkness. Christian are expected to be militant. They are expected to constitute the most aggressive force on earth.

We recognize the fact that many people come to our meetings. We are also aware of the fact that many people come to church for various reasons. Thank God for those who have received solution to their problems.

However, we are aware of the fact that there are some people who are still expecting answers to their prayers. I have a word for such people.

You cannot experience a breakthrough, until you have identified what you are fighting and deal with them aggressively. Your problems will continue to stare you in the face if you refuse to deal with the weapon of aggressive prayer.

Membership of God’s end time army is not open to inexperienced men and women. It is for those who are familiar with the nitty-gritty of spiritual warfare.

A lot of modern days Christians are spiritual illiterates in the area of spiritual warfare.

There are people who believe that they are sufficiently taught the basics of spiritual warfare simply because they wire members of Christian groups in the universities.

Christians from universities and other institutions of higher learning are generally academic in their approach to Christianity.

The academic environment does not expose them to practical details of prayer warfare. They are only exposed to academic demons.

A brother raised from one of such environments came to me ‘saying, that he wanted to work for God. I asked him whether he had enough exposure to be able to confront evil powers if posted to a village. He answered in the affirmative. That was how I posted him to a village.

He had an experience on the first day which shocked him. He woke up early in the morning and headed towards the marketplace. He spent time preaching the gospel expecting to reap some spiritual fruits during his first outreach to that community. Unknown to the young graduate, his sermon had attracted the head of all the witch doctors in that village. The man came to him face to face to ask the young brother what he was really saying. The witch doctor faced the young brother and said, “Young man, you are welcome to our village. You are preaching Jesus. Aren’t you? Why won’t you preach Jesus? What do you know about life? See how well dressed you are. You’re looking so fresh. All I want to tell you is that this place is not a city. This is a village: This is our territory. If you don’t want your parents to become childless, carry your Bible and run away from this place.”

The young brother wanted to appear bold he said, “Sir, I can’t run away. I’m a child of God. I’m a preacher of the gospel. I can’t run away from my post.” The herbalist said, “0. K if you are-sure of what you are saying, I challenge you to a contest.” Before the young brother could make up his mind, the witch doctor dipped his hand into his goat’s skin bag and brought out a grain of corn, placed it on his palm, chanted some incantations and the corn became transformed into a maize plant. Behold, it was growing on the palm of the witch doctor.

 Then the fetish priest faced the young brother. “I thought you said you have power. Demonstrate it now.” The brother became confused. A lot of thoughts began to race through his mind. It dawned on him that the witch doctor who made corn to grow on the palm can make the corn to grow on his head if he stayed too long in his presence. That was how he told the witch-doctor. “Excuse me, sir, I forgot my prayer manual in the camp. Allow me to go and fetch it.” That was how he took to his heels and fled.

Incidentally, one of the brother’s team members who happened to be a stark illiterate as far as academic knowledge is concerned, came out to challenge the witch doctor and overpowered him. What is the difference between the two Christian? One of them had an academic knowledge while the other one had a thorough knowledge of spiritual warfare. I would like you to close your eyes and take this prayer point.

I release myself from every demonic Ignorance, In the name of Jesus

Who are those who convert adults to crawlers? Satanic vessels go about looking for adults to convert to crawlers. Just as Satan has wicked vessels, God also has useful vessels.

God looks for useful vessels whenever he wants to carry out an important assignment. God has continued to look for qualified vessels to use to carry out these projects on earth.

Moses was a vessel. God used him to lead the children of Israel out of bondage.

Elijah was a vessel. God used him to demonstrate his power.

Paul was a vessel. He was also a carrier of God’s power.

These three men distinguished themselves through exceptional demonstration of the power of the Almighty. The entire world stood still whenever these men stood up to demonstrate the power of God. That is why the Bible says, “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace.” Whenever a man who is preaching the gospel of peace storms a place, many good things are brought into that community. One single vessel who is highly anointed by God can bring a lot of good into a community.

The devil has his own vessels. He equips, trains and mobilizes them to perform evil assignments. When demonic vessels are commissioned, they are loaded with dangerous demonic weapons. The devil sends them to fight against the children of God. He sends them to cause confusion in the house of God. He also sets them against marriages.

A lot of people who come to the church, are actively working for the devil. Some of these demonic vessels are sometimes unconscious of what they are doing. Gossips and those who spread rumour are satanic employees. If you are a Christian, and you decide to work for the devil through your behaviour, you stand the risk of receiving ‘friendly fire’. Do you know what is called ‘friendly fire’? If your friend fires a gun at you accidentally in a battle field, it is called friendly fire. If something moves, lay eggs and quacks like a duck, people can simply conclude that it is a duck. If you are in the church to carry out satanic assignment you are looking for trouble.

The devil has planted his vessels everywhere. He has sent his agents into homes and churches. His purpose is to destroy innocent victims in those homes and churches.

A woman brought some materials to the church to be burnt. Something interested me out of the whole lot; a broom. I decide to ask the sister what she was using the broom for. She smiled and said “Sir, that broom is more powerful than it appears. It was one of my most effective weapons before I gave my life to Christ. Sir, I’m sorry to say this. I used to be a chronic husband snatcher. If I used that broom to sweep the front of any house, the woman would just wake up the next day and leave the house. Then I would be free to snatch the husband.”

Many of us are ignorant about that kind of weapon. Do you know whether certain brooms have been used to sweep off your marriage? You must make up your mind to convert those wicked brooms to fire.

Satanic vessels are sent to places to cause trouble. It is a pity that many people have submitted themselves to the use of satanic vessels. Such people throw themselves into danger by venturing to fight God’s people.

Demonic vessels are very wicked. When they cause a problem, they are always the first people to come around to sympathize with their victims. They would make statements like, “Sony, may God not allow us to see this kind of evil again. This world is a wicked place.” Such sympathetic words are completely empty.

A brother felt that he had good friends but he discovered that he was surrounded by enemies. All those whom he thought were his friends were all trekking. None of them had a car. Unknown to him, one of his friends was thinking of how to get rid of the car. He thought his friends were happy. He did not know that they were envious.

One day, he gave them a lift and dropped them in their houses one after the other. Unknown to him, one of them had dropped a charm inside his vehicle. The brother had to pass through a railway crossing on his way home. His car was right on the railway when it suddenly refused to work. He tried everything, and the car remained motionless. He was almost affected with panic when he discovered that a train was advancing towards its direction. He knew the implication of being met on the rail track by the train.

He jumped out of the vehicle, tried to push the vehicle off the rail track, yet the vehicle refused to move. Then he decided to call on the God that answereth by fire: the God of Elijah. He discovered that he was fighting a spiritual battle. He prayed and roasted all demonic enchantments against him with the fire of the Holy Ghost. That was how the vehicle began to move and he escapes being run over by a train by a hair’s breath. None of the on lookers volunteered to help him. What saved him was the power of fire prayers.

Wicked forces are sitting on many people’s progress. Evil powers are sitting on many people’s certificates and professional tools. These wicked forces are also sitting on the promotion letters of many people. The people who are behind such problems still turn around to tell you, “You are such a good fellow. You are hard working and intelligent. You actually deserve the best.” Such people are satanic vessels.

Many people who have witchcraft spirits go about looking for potential victims. 1 came across a crowd in a popular bus-stop in Lagos, Nigeria. I really wondered what they were looking at. 1 discovered that they gathered around a fetish priest who decided to sell his charms to the public. He was so proud of his demonic wares that he decided to open shop by the roadside. He held up a padlock and told his audience, “Look at this padlock, you can use it to lock up anybody. There is nothing wrong with using charms against anyone you choose to attack. After all, our elders have said, ‘If someone’s life does not spoil, another person’s life cannot be good. Some people are occupying your positions. You must spoil their lives before you can achieve good things in life.”

The fetish priest stopped and bent down to pick up the next’: charm. He held up a horn and told his audience: “I want all of you to look up at this horn. This is one of my powerful charms. All you need to do is to hold up this powerful horn as if you are holding a microphone. Whatever you say will surely come to pass. For example, If you mention a particular person’s name, saying so and so walk into the bush, that person will walk into the bush wherever he is. Again, if you ask anyone to run mad, the person would run mad instantly.”

I was surprised when a woman raised up her hand, offering to buy the charm saying, “I’m going to deal with my husband. This would put an end to all his antics. Baba, … how much is the charm? “The priest answered, “Its’ just two thousand five hundred naira.” To my surprise, the woman counted the money and gave it to the fetish priest. The whole incident was a surprise to me. I never knew that satanic agents have got to a point where they now sell their wares publicly.

Evil vessels carry out all kinds of activities. Some people suddenly discover that their heads suddenly swell up in the night not knowing that they are being attacked by the devil. Others are almost choked to death. Some people also notice a cold feeling all over their bodies. Do you know that things have gone so bad that some people now transfer demons through the shaking of hands? If you lack the fire of the Holy Spirit, demons will be transferred into you when you shake hands with demonic agents.

Take this prayer point nine hot times.

Woe unto that vessel that the enemy will use against me, in the name of Jesus

REMOTE CONTROLLING POWERS

Anyone who releases himself to be used by the devil as a vessel, must be ready to face the consequences of serving the devil. Another group of powers which operate as satanic agents responsible for the conversion of adults to crawlers is remote controlling powers.

A lot of satanic satellites are mounted by remote controlling powers. These satellites are used to monitor the lives of people. That’s why I have always told Christian sisters to be wary of putting on just anything. If you put on anything that resembles the eye of a fish, you might be subjecting yourself to the influence of remote controlling powers. That kind of symbol is called watchers in the spiritual realm.

Many people are being controlled from distant places. These controlling powers are capable of monitoring the lives of their victims even when they are thousands of kilometers away.

You’ll be shocked, if your eyes should be opened to the amount of satanic activities that go on in the night.

I used to know someone where I lived some years ago. The man had a number of wives. His life was shrouded in secrecy; nobody really knew what he was up to. I saw one ofhis wives with a new born baby one day and I decided to greet her. “Madam, I rejoice with you. When did you have your baby?” “Just yesterday, sir.” she answered.

However, I discovered that the same woman was no longer carrying the baby the next day. Out of curiosity, I said, “Madam, where is your baby?” She hesitated as if she did not know what to say. Then she summoned up courage to speak to me: “I’m not supposed to tell you this, but I want you to know that whatever I say to you is said because I have a lot of respect for you. To tell you the truth, the baby which you saw yesterday is no more. Daddy has used it.” “For what?” I screamed. She replied, “Don’t worry, sir, just take it like that. The baby is no more.” Then she walked away from me. That is how many people’s lives have been destroyed. Many babies, children and adults have been used for evil charms.

Many people fail when they are supposed to succeed. A lot of people also give up at the edge of miracles. These people are affected by evil controlling powers. Remote controlling powers press evil buttons just when the people are about to receive a miracle. They monitor the affairs of their victims through an evil mirror. Therefore, they know when to strike and they also know how to make their victims lose their miracles.

I want you to close your eyes right now as you take this prayer point. Every remote controlling power, I dash you to the ground, in the name of Jesus.

From what you have read so far, you must have discovered that, today’s Christians are not living as soldiers of Christ. Rather, they have allowed themselves to be turned to victims of satanic attack.

But may I ask, why are satanic vessels more pronounced in their activities than divine vessels? Why are most Christians complaining of satanic attacks when God wants them to be members of God’s fighting army? Why should a child of God cry before the devil? Why must a soldier of the cross flee from the devil as if his weapons are totally useless? What has happened to the great prophetic description of what God expects his army to do?

We have no justifiable reason for living below divine expectation. You cannot read this chapter without going to God in prayer to make you part of his aggressive army. You must pray with every spiritual energy in you until you personally experience a fulfillment of all the characteristics of God’s end-time army in your own life.
