We recently had one of the believers give birth to a baby. This is the first new born baby born after the new church has been planted. The family decided not to allow the local shaman perform his usual magic, and there were some others who said the birth will be very hard and the child will die. We are so thankful that God protected her and she thus gave birth to a lovely baby girl, it was a easy birth with no complications. This is a victory and it shows Gods power over darkness here in our little village. MALIABA SPIRIT…
This spirit has so held our people in bondage that they can’t see that he speaks of things that continually happens, such as someone in our village will die. He doesn’t say who, when, why or how. Then when a child dies, he stands up and takes the credit for it saying that he’d marked it and our people believe him.
Just recently, one of these Maliaba spirits sent word to some of the believers that if they didn’t leave the teaching, that their children would die -and as a result some have fallen away. Another Maliaba spirit recently sent word that one of the believers is going to die or get terribly sick -but there has been nothing.
The key believers are being set free from the bondage of this spirit through the systematic teaching of God’s Word and are beginning to speak boldly about him -causing some conflicts with unbelievers. Please pray that they would speak the truth in love and not ridicule and that God would clearly show them how He is daily protecting them. Please also pray for wisdom for us and the believers in how to respond from God’s Word.
