Jesus turns scorcerer
into Bible College Student
(Testimoney found in Pentecostal Herald,
April 2002)

Missionaries to Cameroon
Julius was a sorcerer with mystical powers. He was superior to the witches and
wizards of his area. He wore a ring that had powers to control things around
him. In order not to lose his power, he was to worship Nson Nson Abu, a demon
of hypnotism. He worked closely with the great evil power of the land and did
many mystical acts until even La Voix du Payson (Cameroonian newspaper) began
to publish articles about what was happening through him.
As he was out doing his works of evil, his wife started attending the United
Pentecostal Church and was filled with the Holy Ghost.
Julius did not know what to do. He left his home for a week. His wife began
to look for him and found him with two witches. His wife grew angry and broke
the crystal ball and a mirror they had. The witch threw something that looked
like sand on her. Because of the act of the wife, Julius was told that he now
had to drink his wife's blood. The witches brought the magical mirror and placed
it before him. They looked and looked, but his wife's picture would not appear.
The witches said he would have to go home. When he saw his wife, he was to call
her by her first name. When she answered, he was to touch her on the back with
a red shell and the mystical sand.
When he arrived home he found his wife in bed. Her arms and legs were paralyzed.
She could not see, speak, or hear. He returned to the witches to report that
he was unsuccessful, because he could not get to her back, nor could she see
or hear him.
The witches were now very angry and returned with him to the place where the
wife was supposed to be staying. When they entered the house, his wife's mother
told him that church members came and carried her to an "Africa Impact
Team Crusade" in Muea, where the Lord healed her. Julius and the witches
made their way to the crusade ground. From a distance they watched what was
happening, but they were very afraid to go near.
The witches then gave him a powder to give to his wife to bathe in. Little did
he know that the Lord had spoken to Pastor Peter Mua to inform him of what was
to come. Pastor Peter instructed the wife not to take anything her husband would
try to give her. When Julius informed the witch that is was not possible to
give his wife anything, she got very angry and left. When Julius got home, he
found a note from his "Queen" telling him he had twenty-one days to
accomplish the task; if he did not, he would pay with his life.
Because the pastor was instructing his wife and his wife was a very prayerful
woman, Julius could not penetrate her prayers. He decided he must kill the pastor
so that she would not know what to do. He took "cross evil oil" and
threw it on the pastor's door. The pastor was suppose to die that same day.
But to Julius's surprise, the pastor was alive and well. Julius then got "mousong"
(something extracted from dead bodies). He put in on the path of the pastor
so that his skin would start to rot and smell. Again, nothing happened. Julius
began to question, "Why do these things not affect the pastor? Surely he
must have a supernatural power that is stronger then the kingdom of darkness."
That night Julius began to think about what he had witnessed. He said to himself,
"If Pastor Peter's power can make my wife walk, see, speak, and hear again,
then it means that his God can surely help me too." That day he thought
of going to see Pastor Mua for deliverance. Fear so gripped him, because he
had done so many bad things to Pastor Mua that he did not go.
Spirits troubled him that night. The next morning he ran to Pastor Mua's house,
knowing that this was the day that the "Queen" said he would die if
he had not fulfilled the task. Pastor Mua welcomed him. After a discussion he
told Julius that he must confess his sins, so that Jesus could save him. Julius
confessed his sins that day and was baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost.
Julius Agbor is now a student at the UPC College of Theology in Cameroon. He
is preaching on weekends about the saving and delivering power of the Holy Ghost.
Jesus changed a sorcerer into a student.
