I dedicate this book to those who believed in
this book when it was a sixteen page book. They
read it and sold it in their churches and
ministries. The names I mention here are not
exhaustive: Dr. kontein Trinya of The Preachers.
Venerable Richard I Hart and Venerable J E D
Pono of the Niger Delta Diocese of the Anglican
Communion in Nigeria, Pastor S Ogbomode of
Christ Apostolic Church, No. 1 Tourist Beach Rd,
Port Harcourt, Rev. Dr. Okey Akiri and Rev. Don
Kester of Oil of Joy Ministries, Port Harcourt.
The Arch-Bishop Duncan Williams said, “It is
easy for anybody to believe in you after you
have made it. The one that believes in you
before you have made it, is the great one.”
Great ones, I greet you!

Acknowledgment
It is the Almighty God, from whom all mercies
flow that all gratitude should go to. Yet, there
are men and women whom He used.
First, is my wife, who declared prayers and
fasting asking God that He grant us means to
publish this book again. My children also deserves
thanks as they trimmed down on their menu; even
Possible, my three year old daughter asked,”Why
did Daddy stop buying me “Gala”.
Chinyere Ngozi, my daughter in the Lord,
motivator and secretary, she typed, formatted
and encouraged me to produce this book.
All PNUR partners for their support, I say
thanks.
Finally, Dr. Kontein Trinya- I will say nothing
here. If Christ tarries, I will comment someday.
You are my big brother.
I wouldn’t have mentioned all but I am grateful to
all.
Thanks

Foreword
God's people contend not only with devils but
also with absence of knowledge, which is no
less destructive than the devils themselves.
“My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge,” God Himself laments (Hosea
4:6). Through laziness and a conspiracy of
errors, the enemy succeeds in our days to
keep soldiers ignorant of the battles they
face, which is where this book becomes
invaluable.
This manual on spiritual warfare, with
particular focus on dealing with witchcraft,
comes from the pen of experience. The
practical illustrations and real life stories
might seem shocking in some cases, but it is
the reality of the world we live in. The
lucidity of style, the methodical
presentation, and the scriptural
clarifications in the book make it an
endearing reading, even to the one not so
used to such information.
Pastor Emmanuel Nwosu has taken pains to
offer rudimentary clarifications of such
questions as, What is witchcraft? How do we
recognize it? What are its effects? How do
v
we confront it? etc. This is not one good book
to read and shelve. It is a handy reference
manual on the subject. It is often said that a
word is enough for the wise. I will say that
here is one more good word to make the wise
wiser and rescue the ignorant from their
suicidal lack of knowledge. There is meat in
this book.

Introduction
At the school of Deliverance and
Spiritual warfare (SDSW), students show
great interest in the topic discussed in this
book. Witchcraft operations and how to
check them is a great challenge to the body
of Christ.
In this book and other tittles in the teaching
manual series(TMS) I tried to be simple as I
present this topic. Questions are
deliberately raised to be answered, and the
answers come in such a way that readers do
not need to struggle to find them.
Issues discussed are very practical, so that
my reader can put them into practice and get
even a better result than I ever had. This
edition is much bigger that the first edition-
which was just a book of sixteen pages.
Hence, making a comparison of the two will be
difficult, but they have one thing in common;
drawing my readers into deeper spiritual walk
vii
that culminates in a fervent prayer life and
better knowledge of spiritual matters,
especially witchcraft.
For pastors and deliverance ministers,
“What I do in my church” and “Visit my
Arsenal” will be very helpful.
I do not go out trying to write a big book or
small book, but rather I try to be concise.
This is what I did here. Except where I can
not help it, information is passed on with few
words and bible passages mentioned as
references.
As you read this book, let the Spirit of the
book carry you, by that you would gain the
best from it.
I hope you really enjoy it.
