Voodooist Threatens Church

[4] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for the church in Benin.

A voodoo practitioner in Benin built an altar directly across the street from a church. He regularly kills animals and places occult items he believes are infused with mystical powers on the altar, often on Sunday mornings. He also puts voodoo powder on the church’s steps, hoping to scare church members away, and plays music at a high volume on Sunday mornings to disrupt church services. In response, the church bought a sound system to drown out the music. Now the man is threatening to buy all the land around the church and surround it with voodoo altars. A front-line worker said church members have requested prayer that God will either change the man’s heart or move him out of the area.

  • Father, for this congregation we pray for wisdom and love for this voodooist who is so lost in darkness. Please open his eyes to the truth, and may he experience the love of Christ and come to you in repentance. If he is closed to the truth, then please move him away from this church, and give them freedom to worship you without distraction. Thank you!

  • Beloved Father: Please be a wall of fire around the church & the glory in her midst! Please pour out Your holy protection upon this flock, defending them from every evil. Please soften the heart of this man that he would turn to Christ. If not, Lord, please remove him from this area so that his persecution would cease. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
