ABOUT ALTARS
(Luke 8:17) - Jesus said, "for there is nothing hidden that will
not be revealed/disclosed."
(Ephesians 5:11- 14) - Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But
everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible.
DEFINITION OF AN ALTAR:
It is a place of sacrifice/worship/supplication/dedication to a superior spirit being.
An altar can be 1(a) (Godly)- holy. or 1.(b) (Satanic) evil.
EXAMPLES OF TWO DIFFERENT ALTARS IN THE BIBLE -
1(a). GODLY ALTARS-
(1). Judges 6:24 - So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and
called it The LORD is Peace.
(2). 1Kings 18: 32 - With the stones he (Elijah) built an altar in
the name of the LORD…
21.(b) SATANIC ALTARS -
(1) Judges 6:25b - Tear down your father's altar to Baal and cut
down the Asherah pole beside it.
(2) 1Kings 18:26 - So they took the bull given them and prepared it.
Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon. "O Baal, answer us!" they shouted. But there was no response, no one
answered. And they danced around the altar they had made.
(a). A GODLY ALTAR
(1) It is a place where the spirit of man interacts with God's Spirit.
(2). It is God's domain on earth activated by man.
(3). It is a spiritual platform established through covenants
between humans and the spirit world of light.
(4). It is a place where sacrifices are given to God for the purpose
of relationship, fellowship and intervention. The Church of Jesus Christ is God's universal altar on earth. There is no other way man can access God and His kingdom
except through Jesus Christ.
(John 14:6) - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
1(b). A SATANIC (WICKED) ALTAR
(1) It is a place where the spirit of man interacts with Satan and
his host of fallen angels (demons).
(2). It is Satan's domain on earth activated by man.
(3). It is a spiritual platform established through covenants
between humans and the spirit world of darkness.
(4). It is a place where sacrifices are given to Satan and his
demons for the purpose of favor, fellowship and intervention.
During times of affliction, disaster and death, or in search of
security and prosperity, people give sacrifices to Satan and his
demons in order to get solutions from them.
THE SACRIFICES MAY INCLUDE;
(a) Human sacrifice-(very high value)
(b) Animals sacrifice-(high value)
(c) Farm produce-(less value).
* Please take note that, the greater the value, the quality and the quantity of a sacrifice that one gives to any one of the above two altars, 1(a) or 1(b), the greater the (returns/value) realized from the receiving end. There are people who possess demonic items which they were given by witchdoctors. Such items enable the people to access the evil spirit world as contact items or points of connection with the world of darkness. The items include;
(1) Charms(mbingu) (2) Idols(mivwanano) (3) Images (mavisa) (4)Photographs(visa) (5) Jewelry(syuma) (6) Crosses(ngelanyo) (7) Rings(mbete) (8) Special attire(ngua sya mwanya) (9)

THE 5 CATEGORIES OF WITCHCRAFT OPERATIVES
1. DESTROYERS - are witchcraft operatives who have specialized in
destroying other people's lives and property.
2. SHRINE PRIESTS/TRADITIONAL HEALERS - are priests of Satan who give their clients liquids to drink, substances to chew,
sprinkling with water, concoctions and incisions on bodies.
43. NECROMANCERS- are priests of the devil who consult spirits of
the dead on behalf of the living.(Deuteronomy 18:9-12).
4. DOORWAY/COMPOUND CHARMS- the clients are given charms to bury at the gate, doorway or in their compound.
5. RITUAL SEX - In some cases, married women who have stayed
for a long time without conceiving and unmarried girls who feel that
they have overstayed without getting married, are lured into having sex with witchdoctors.
THE 7 REASONS WHICH COMPEL PEOPLE TO SEEK WITCHCRAFT.
(1) PROTECTION- There are people who (a)Fear being bewitched.
Others are rich and they (b)Fear that their homes may be invaded by robbers. Others, especially men, go to witchdoctors when they
sense (c)Unfaithfulness in their wives. (d)There are other people who seek witchcraft to (e)Protect their jobs.
2. FERTILITY- Barren women and sterile men seek services of
witchdoctors. The climax of their treatment is sex with the female
victims.
3. GOOD LUCK/PROSPERITY-There are people who want to get rich quickly. Our grandfathers sought powers of witchcraft in
Mombasa and other places to increase their wealth. Even today,
there are people who go to consult witchdoctors to enable them
realize success in - business - good jobs - promotion- salary
increments in their jobs. Such people are advised by their
witchdoctors to carry charms on their bodies, in their wallets or
bags in their places of work.
4. POWER - There are people who have high ambitions in leadership. So, they go for witchcraft power to enable them climb their ladder without any external challenges or opposition. Such people are given satanic power in such a way that nobody dares to oppose them even when they make mistakes. Through this power, some leaders become oppressive and they also subject their followers to fear and slavery. Most Politicians, School Head teachers, Principals, Chairpersons of groups and organizations, are in this
category.
5. FAME - In our society, there are some people who crave for fame.
They may admire to appear in news papers, magazines, television, radio, etc. To achieve this, such people surrender themselves to witchdoctors to treat them.
6. HEALING - There are sicknesses which defy medical treatment
even when doctors put all their professional expertise. In such
cases, some people who are ailing consult witchdoctors to help
them.
7. REVENGE - In our society, there are people who seek the help of
witchdoctors to punish their offenders/enemies. The people
offended are usually given an opportunity by the witchdoctors to
decide the nature of punishment to be directed to their offenders. At
the end of the day, the fact remains that as the culprits suffer, the
same suffering will eventually befall those who have pronounced it. (Proverbs 26:27).

CROSS-ROADS/ROAD JUNCTIONS ALTARS.
A cross-road/junction is a section where two roads intersect or two paths intersect. It is a road that runs across another one or that links two main roads. When you tour a foreign place- you find yourself at a centre where two roads or paths intersect- you find it hard to identify the road which leads to the place of your destination. You end up in a dilemma and confusion. If you follow one of the ways and finally discover that you have followed the wrong route, you must go back to the junction/crossroads/fork, to trace the right route. Jeremiah 6:16 - This is what the LORD says, "Stand at the crossroads and look, ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."
We can therefore conclude that people lose their bearing and direction in life from the crossroads.
