Spiritual Programming

I read the story of the young man who killed his father in Abuja a few days ago.

It was a gory tale

There are, however, many lessons to learn from it.

People program gullible people to act in a certain way.

Demons also program the undescerning to act in a certain way

A young man went to the club, and he saw other young men who were his peers acting in certain ways, but he was not given the privilege to act in the same way, despite the wealth of his father.

A friend says to him, "You say your father is rich and you are taking Uber to the club."

He tells a girlfriend. "Babe, my father is a billionaire, but he has refused to buy me a Benz for my trips."

The friends say to him, Go to your father and be a man. Challenge him and demand your rights as a first son!

The girlfriend says to him, how can you claim your father is rich, and you are riding an UBER all the time when your mates are driving a Range Rover or GLE to give their babes trips and make a name for themselves!

He hears this and decides to confront his father for more resources to enjoy his life.

His father had travelled on a business trip, and he went to his mother to make demands.

His mother gives him whatever she can and tells him he knows his father was a stingy man who didn't leave enough for her to give

The young man then decides to confront his father whenever they saw

The father arrived from his trip, and the son then came home at 2 AM with his "girlfriends".

He had been telling them of how rich his father was and how stingy he was to him and the family.

The ladies laughed and told him he was still a boy.

He heard them, but they registered in his ears as he was not being given the right treatment by his father by every standard.

He wanted to be a DAVIDO, but his father was not being an ADELEKE!

He decided he had to address this to keep up his rep with his babes and within the club.

He saw his father and reacted violently, "Daddy, why are you so stingy? Why wouldn't you allow me to enjoy the benefits of your wealth?"

The father, a businessman who felt his son was already delinquent, felt insulted by his son's accusations and also reacted, "What do you mean, you spoiled brat! You are returning home at 2 AM with two ladies and demanding money from me!"

The boy got angry that his father denigrated him in front of his girlfriends and attacked his father without thinking!

He took a knife and stabbed his father to prove his manliness to his babes.

His father died, and he realised he had done something irredeemable.

His self-preservation instincts kicked in, and he quickly acted like he was not responsible for his father's death

He quickly pretended it was an armed robber and raised an alarm, but the CCTV of their neighbour showed clearly what happened!

He was arrested for killing his father.

The girlfriends disavowed him.

His friends forsook him.

He has been programmed for destruction through the influence of his friends and his lovers.

This is a very typical example of demonic programming.

The devil tells the person many things that lead to the person making decisions that would destroy their life.

This is what spiritual programming looks like!

A son has a father, and his son tells him he wants his inheritance.

The father gave it to him.

He went to a strange country and squandered his inheritance on scandalous living and lifestyle.

One day, the Spirit of God came to him and reminded him that he was guaranteed a good life if he would swallow his pride and return to his father as a slave, as he struggled with pigs for food.

Look at it as written in the scriptures in Luke 15:11

Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country, and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.”\

“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

He was programmed by the devil to act in a certain way, but after a while, he CAME TO HIMSELF and reprogrammed himself to act in the right manner!

Some people can reprogram themselves, while some people cannot!

The prodigal son had no one to impress; he left all his friends and advisers in the strange land and came to his father alone.

This helped a lot in helping him resolve issues.

Sometimes a young man or woman would offend his father, like Ahitophel offended David, and they would be looking for an intermediary to speak and beg on their behalf.

This is wrong!

The attitude of a man when alone is different from the attitude of a man when he believes he has someone or some people to impress so that they will not see him as a weakling.

Demonic programming works when the programmed one is not given the opportunity to come to HIMSELF.

Demonic programming fails in the place of self-reflection because the person has no one to impress and would be able to apologise without losing a modicum of dignity in the eyes of others.

Hope you learned something!
