Cries Of Animals
Usually, it is hard to see any animal’s cry, which people
call good sign. When a bird cries, people say the enemies sent the bird to
attack the people. If an owl cries, they say that witches have come to attack
their families. If a pussy cat comes near their house, they say that the
witches and native doctors sent the cat. The feel that witches use such ugly
cries to frighten and weaken people, so that the witches can bind the people
and attack them.
Why Animals Do Cry
Apostle John:
1. Son
of man, what people say depends on the experiences and encounters that they
have had.
2. Of
all the animals that do cry, some cry when they are not supposed to cry or cry
but not in the form God created them to cry.
3. But
you shall not blame the animals, because some of them cry because of hunger.
Hunger, hunger and hunger, because they have not eaten for one or more days.
4. That
is why, when they supposed to be sleeping, they are crying out of disobedience.
Man’s Duty Towards The Animals
The Head: Does it
mean that humanity have to provide foods for the animals or that the animals
have to fend for themselves?
Apostle John: Humanity
should not abandon them. Humanity do not know that if they a moving along the
way and find a chick or fowl, they have to drop food for it.
The Head: People
do not know. The Igbo people do not usually feed their fowls. They even use the
broom or stick to chase the fowls away from foods, especially from grains.
Apostle John: Son
of man, they have to provide foods for the animals. If you know what the
animals eat, you can bring it and give to the animals. On many occasions, the
animals eat what people eat
The Head: That is
true.
Apostle John: They
eat bread. Some of them drink malt, mineral, juice, etc.
The Head: They
like sugar. But do not give alcoholic or strong drinks to them, because they
shall not be able to control themselves during intoxication.
Apostle John: The
children of God should drop foods for them.
The Head: Some
people complain of shortage of money or scarcity of foods.
The Great And Many Benefits Of Taking Care Of The Animals
Apostle John: Son
of man, what shall it benefit humanity, if they feed the animals?
The Head: Number
1, it shall solve the problem of hunger for the animals.
Therefore, their animals shall grow bigger and healthier.
Number 2, the animals shall become friendlier with humanity.
Number 3, the animals shall serve humanity more and more.
Number 4, humanity shall get more blessings, favours, success and prosperity form God, because they are
making works easier for God and for the Angels in-charge of the animals.
Number 5, the Angels in-charge of the animals shall be happy
to bless and prosper humanity more and more.
Apostle John: Son
of man, yourself answered very well.
Number 6, and it shall make the animals to be kind to
humanity.
The Head: Number
7, by so doing, the animals shall become obedient to humanity, and serve people
more and more.
Why And How Animals Do Steal
Apostle John: Do
you humanity not know that as human being do steal, even so the animals the
steal?
The Head: That is
true.
Apostle John: But
if the animals are feed well, they shall not be stealing. Even if they want to
steal, they know that they want to steal.
Apostle John: What
do the animals usually do, if they want to steal?
The Head: They
first look around, to make sure that nobody is around, that nobody shall attack
or catch them.
Apostle John: Not
only that. They also look around to see if the owner is around, because when
the animals see something, they know the particular person who is the owner of
that thing. Even if other people are around or chasing them away, they know the
particular owner. And when the owner comes, they are vigilant.
They first look around, if the owner is not around, then
they go to steal food.
Have you not noticed that when animals come in, and stay
quiet, in watch mood, if there is any noise or movement, it is startled?
The Head: That is
true. Or, it runs away.
Apostle John: The
animals intentionally do so.
The Head: Sometimes,
when somebody is around, the animal keeps away. Immediately the person leaves,
the animals come back to steal food. Even so repeatedly.
Apostle John: Son
of man, this shows that animals suffer hunger like human beings, and that it
needs help like human beings.
Animal Husbandry
Apostle John: Son
of man, another thing is the way the animals are taken care of.
The Head: The
Igbo people score zero in taking care of animals. They use cane or object to
chase the animals out of the house. They do not even care about the hungry
fowls in their compounds. Even the foods that they should give to the animals,
they throw such foods into the refuse bucket or into the places where the
animals cannot see the foods. There are still many things to teach humanity.
Apostle John: Son
of man, do humanity not know that fowls are looking for something to eat?
The Head: They
know.
Apostle John: Son
of man, when they throw away foods, do they expect God to give them more?
The Head: That is
the point. People do not know that throwing away the foods that animals should
eat will cause themselves hunger, hardship and sufferings. The world do not
know.
Dead Animals On The Roads
The Head: People kill animals and drop the dead bodies on the main roads or by the roadsides. Also, the Christians and Sabbatharians who should know better, do see the dead bodies and leave them there rotten and smelling.
Apostle John: Son of man, about all these dead animals, some of which are used in various ritual sacrifices, the animals have to be killed. Some of them were used in casting out evil spirits. When the animals are left alive, after the ritual sacrifice, one thing or the other happen to the animals.
Apostle John: Son of man, what happens to the animals when they are dead?
The Head: Those animals that are used for ritual sacrifices or spiritual works still retain the powers of darkness invoked into them. If the animal is used to remove sickness, the sickness is still in the animal. And the evil spirit that causes the powers of darkness or sickness is still in the animal. If the animal is thrown out into the mains road, without burying it, it is like spreading the powers of darkness or diseases, from the place where it is on the road or by the roadside. And it will be there defiling the air, water, land. All the people who breathe in the stench or step on it become defiled.
Apostle John: Why do the children of God not use the powers which God has given to them?
The Head: Many of them do not know that they have such powers. The ones, who know, do not know how to use such powers. Some people do think that it is only the ministers of God that can use such powers.
Apostle John: Son of man, some of the people who know, do not know when to use the powers.
Apostle John: Why do the children of God by pass all these animals used in ritual works, and do nothing about the animals?
The Head: Some people avoid the animals in order to avoid defiling themselves. Some people see the animals as have being used for evil works. They feel or believe that if they touch the animals, the evil works shall start following them – troubling them.
Apostle John: Son of man, ourselves are not talking about touching the animals. The spirit of the animal is important to God.
The Head: So, what should the children of God do, if they see such animals used for rituals?
Apostle John: They have to draw the spirits of such an animals into the hands of the Angels. Therefore, as the animal dies, the Angels take their spirits. But the ritual work performed shall remain in the dead body of the animal.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle John: It is only the children of God that pray before they kill animals. But the pagans do not pray, because they do not know the sufferings God endured to create the animals. They do not know the reasons why God created the animals. They do not know that many animals are better than themselves, the pagans.
The Head: That is true, because many of these animals are obedient. But humanity deviate from what God said.
Apostle John: About all the animals used for rituals and dropped on the main roads, or kept by the roadsides, what should the children of God do?
The Head: I have told them to pour Consuming Fire on it, and they should pray to set free any person bound by the rituals, and reverse the work back to the sender.
Apostle John: Son of man, number 1, the children of God have to spray Consuming Fire, and Thunder and Lightning, on themselves, so that the Angels of God will come and protect them, children of God, from the ritual works.
Number 2 is to pray for all the people, whose names were called while performing the rituals, so that the Angels will destroy all the evil incantations and spiritual works.
It is not all prayers that the children of God have to say. No. They have to pray only for the people who have the mark of salvation and the innocent people, who are being attacked through the rituals. It is only these two types of prayers that the Angels accept, welcome.
Number 3, after the prayers, spray Consuming Fire on the dead animals, rituals and sacrifices.
