The
Wanton Abuse of Spiritual Powers
“ With great power
comes great responsibility”, goes the common saying.
Some people are very
fortunate to be endowed with great spiritual powers; they’re able to see the
future, heal and, through prayer and meditation, avert disasters among other
things.
On the downside certain
unscrupulous people with spiritual abilities are using it for evil purposes; to
cast spells to destroy and kill people, cheat nature by faking healings,
manipulating predictions and creating questionable instant wealth.
Any spiritual power is
a gift from God and the fortunate recipient must treat it with respect and be
responsible with it. It is a gift that is to be used for the good and
empowerment of Mankind and nothing else.
Having spiritual powers
connects us to the power of the Universe or the God-being. With practice these
abilities can become limitless – nothing is impossible – as the recipient
becomes privy to great knowledge and wisdom. The cars we drive, the computers
we use, cures for diseases, the future foretold and disasters averted are all
as a result of certain individuals using their spiritual abilities for the
greater glory of Mankind.
But there are those who
use it for dark, evil purposes.
Because you can doesn’t
give you the right to put ‘juju’ on someone destroying their life and tampering
with their destiny. The repercussions, maybe not immediately, will be severe.
Likewise using
spiritual powers to do anything bad contravenes the Law of the Universe and
God. The spiritual power endowed upon such persons becomes tainted. It’s no
longer a gift but becomes a tool for the Devil to wrought his work. The said
practitioner is now using black magic.
Again to all black
magic practitioners out there, there are severe repercussions for abusing
God-given spiritual powers. For every action there is an equal reaction. For
whatever evil spells or curses you send out you can be rest assured it will
come back to haunt you. Like a boomerang it will bounce back mostly at a time
when you least expect it. Only in coming back the evil power sent out would
have magnified, many time over, bringing disaster and calamity back to the
sender. Desist.
Having spiritual powers
is also not an excuse to enrich yourself at the expense of the needy as many
rogue prophets and pastors and witchdoctors do. It’s a gift from God to be used
to help others, if possible, and not to extort money from them.
So how should someone
with spiritual powers act?
First and foremost the
individual must realize the power is a gift from God and it must be treated
with the utmost respect and used responsibly. It’s not for showing off,
bragging or to be used to exert power over another person.
Under no circumstances
is it to be used for evil purposes or anything that contravenes the will of
God. If it’ is it becomes black magic and both practitioner and recipient will
be held accountable, either in this life or the next.
It is not a
money-spinner either. The mere fact you’ve got certain spiritual powers does
not mean you have been given a licence to print money. There are unscrupulous
practitioners out there, prophets and pastors included, who charge exorbitant
fees for ‘healings’ and ‘predictions’. The powers you possess are a gift from
God and should be as free as the air we breathe and the water we drink .
Turning it into a business or using it to get more people to come to your
church is wrong.
So you people, out
there, who have certain spiritual powers remember that with great power comes
great responsibility. Don’t abuse it and don’t misuse it.
