Continued from Part 6-3

hough I started these series by addressing the perils of Television on the children, but I have however addressed such perils on the entire family, both on adults and children. Everyone is being affected by the problems of Television, and that is the way the devil designed it to be - to use Television as a satanic family altar, to infiltrate families with satanic agenda. I discussed this at length in the previous article.

In continuation to our discussion on Apostasy and false worship that is created by Television, we shall address the false worship of the "Stars", or celebrities.

Celebrities whether they be musicians, movie actors and actresses or famous sports people, they are all called "stars". As stars, they have fans which include adults, young people and children. Many of these fans can do anything for them, and even imitate their fashions, and all that. They crave to watch their performances and literally follow them around the globe, imitating their lifestyles. Some people may not go to that extreme, but still want to stay up even at nights to watch their favorite "stars" in their shows. As I mentioned earlier, it could be their sports, movies or music. Obsession of a star killed a brilliant medical doctor last year as she was spiritually lured into the city where her hero- star lived and was Pastoring a Church, after extensive reality talk show about the kind of woman he wants to marry. This Pastor/musician lost his wife to death through cancer, and began to advertise himself on the kind of wife he would like to have. This brilliant woman who just finished her PHD and was on her "Medical Resident practice" forsook all the great places that were calling her, and moved to that small unrecognized place where the Pastor/musician stays, believing she was hearing from God that she was the right woman for him. After all her disappointments in this matter, she eventually vanished. Only God knows how she died in the process after the disappearance. Later her body was found floating in water. We will come to the dangers of star obsession.

The adoration or obsession of these fans for celebrities/stars is called worship. They are worshipping the stars/celebrities. What is worship? Webster Dictionary describes worship as:

: to honor or respect (someone or something) as a god

: to show respect and love for God or for a god especially by praying, having religious services, etc.

: to love or honor (someone or something) very much or too much

From various definitions, we see that to show too much honor or love or devotion to someone is worship, or to excessively admire someone is worship. Many people both children and adults are guilty of this worship of celebrities or STARS. But the word of God warns us: You shall have no other gods before me (Deuteronomy 5: 7; Exodus 20:3).

Why are they called "Stars?" Stars in this aspect originated in Revelations 12: 4. When Satan, Lucifer was cast down from Heaven, he drew one third of "God's stars" with him. These fallen stars became demons. Most of these celebrities or stars are in covenant or pact with these demons that help them do their performances. In CBS "60 Minutes" show, Denzel Washington said that before he acted his "Training Day" movie, he dropped on his knees and called on spirits to enter him and after that he was another person, completely energetic and in charge. Otherwise, he would not have been able to act out the role he acted. A spirit that inhabited him acted it out the role through him. That won him an OSARS award. We will come to OSCARS!

Another person, among so many of them is Beyoncé and her "Sasha Fierce".... According to her, her alter ego, the demon called Sasha Fierce enters her as soon as she enters the stage and the crowd roars. From there, it's no longer her, but the spirit that does the rest. By nature according to her, she is shy, but when that spirit comes upon her, she does those wild and lustful things she does. Sad enough, one lady killed herself last year in her excessive devotion to her as her "goddess". She attended the Church that was opened for her (for Beyoncé) worship (Church of Bay) and they convinced her to sacrifice herself for her. That is an extreme worship of the "stars", the demons. Most of these stars also write their movie scripts by demonic inspirations. According to one of them, she did not know what to write, but as soon as she called the spirit, her hands began to write what was coming upon her. Later, the actors would receive the demons to act these demon inspired movies, for the public to watch…infiltrating the families and lives where such movies are watched.

An artist does not create in vacuum. Every work of an artist is meant to change something in the society. It is also presenting the society in a microcosm, criticizing, enlightening and impacting the society. With these satanic manipulations, they are manipulating and gradually bending people towards satanic agenda and worship without many people knowing that they are worshiping idols. The audience is gradually submitting to this mind game, breaking away all defenses while condoning and enjoying what is being presented to them without objection. The lives of the children continue to go down the drain by these demonic infiltrations which come through their demonized favorite stars.

I studied English and Literary studies in the University of Calabar, Nigeria. We see the society through the eyes of movies. In doing this, I began to watch many movies as they interpreted many things in the society for me. But that season of my life is over, Praise God! The Holy Spirit will let me know what I need to know.

I watched series of a movie in the Showtime movies many years ago. Dexter, the American favorite serial killer (that's what Americans call him) was a born killer. His adopted father noticed he was secretly killing people. He advised him to turn that passion of a killer against bad people, so he found sports in killing secretly, satisfying his cravings for blood shed; bringing and killing criminals in his butcher house. Yet, he was doing his detective works carefully, and no one knew what he was doing in secret. He was however, always talking to himself that in spite of all he was doing, his life was completely empty. I also remember watching a movie of a serial killer woman, who was on a killing spree. The movie is called: Serial Mom. She was killing anyone at all, including people who were in their houses over any minor thing. She was enjoying her killings, and when she was brought to court, she had already become a star named: "serial mom". She was pulling a crowd, which continued to chant after her: "serial mom", serial mom". In the court she was acquitted for lack of enough proof, and her jovial attitude which confused the juries. While she was being surrounded with cheers outside the court house, one of the jurors, whom she envied so much during trials because of her beautiful shoes during her trials, was in the bathroom speaking to her mother on phone booth that "serial mom" was innocent of all the charges. While she was on the phone, the serial mom approached her, snatched the phone handle from the woman and started hitting her until she was dead. Then she said: "now you know" (that she is a true killer). But she was an excitement to the young people outside who were pushing to have a glimpse of her. She was a favorite serial killer, (a woman possessed by a killer spirit who was going about murdering innocent people, and was a hero to American people) "Serial mom". What did that say about the society? In the same way, many violent homicidal movies glorify violence, leaving the young people with nothing creative and no morality, and yet they worship such serial-killer-actors.

It is written: Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5: 20).

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD (Proverbs 17:15).

Most of such stars brought revolutions of their kinds: Harry Porter brought witchcraft revolution, Marilyn Munroe who they said made contacts with the spirits before acting any scene, brought her own lustful revolutions perhaps, during her time. What revolution is Beyoncé bringing out in her nude and lustful dances and behaviors to this generation through TV screens and internet? How are the children of this society turning out? Many of them want to be like these stars. Beyoncé already have a church that worship her as a deity. These are all what TV brings into the society, false worship, not only in America, but also in Nigeria and every part of the world.

Continuing on these stars and their alter ego spirits, when I came to America in the nineties, we spent some time watching NBA in our family. Iverson was too good with NBA and was best at it. But, he was in trouble with his coach because he never came for practice, but only came for the real game where he shot too many goals on each game. One day, they showed how Iverson prepared for his games. While the mother was walking around announcing that her son was about to enter a battle field, Iverson was seated in an open place somewhere with a witch woman who was enchanting things on him and anointing him. Then, he would come into the field and excelled. He had many fans. All these people that perform by these "fallen stars of God" (demons) are being worshiped by their fans, who do not know that they are actually worshiping the very demons that inhabit and control their actions. That is what people (fans) worship. They worship demons.

The danger of worshiping those demons is that these people are following their heroes to Hell. Sometime late 2012 from the beginning of the day, and as I was driving around with one of my daughters, I continued to see Justin Bieber walking towards Hell with a crowd following him. He was drawing this crowd like magnet. I kept saying it over and over to my daughter that this young man is heading to hell with a large crowd with which he is drawing with him. God reveals to redeem. The revelation was coming for us to pray for Justin Bieber. We did. Within a couple of months, the people who plotted to kidnap and kill him were apprehended. God's mercy was over his life.

Television creates false worship of Stars, which is truly the worship of demons, which those stars worship, and which inhabit them for their performances and their scripts. These demons, through these people infiltrate lives, destroy families, and create all kinds of evil through these human channels called celebrities. They all draw their fans to Hell along with them. Listen to Emmanuel Agyarko's testimony when he was taken to Hell and talked with many famous people such as Gadhafi, Abacha, Michael Jackson, Princess Diana, et, and also saw how celebrity fans are following their favorite stars to Hell:

In this case therefore, gluing oneself in front of Television or computers or tablets for these things, is spiritually dangerous.

Let's look at the OSCARS award shows and their golden idol.


OSCARS ceremony

Does this scene look familiar? Check below


King Nebuchadnezzar's golden image


Osiris, Egyptian god.


Oscars awards.

This is the highest attainment for the stars, to get this golden idol. This golden idol is nothing but King Nebuchadnezzar's image of gold, or the Egyptian god, or other gods worshiped by different nations of the world under different names. Let's check out a scene where they acted out the meaning of this award in Reality TV show:

http://youtu.be/AGi8jSGpr5U

Here these two comedians fully interpreted what it is all about...to give these stars golden idols to worship. They were welcoming their guests to Hollywood, which they referred as the "belly of the beast" …telling them the truth, they confessed. They asked the recipients of the award whom they addressed as Babylon, to bow down to their golden idols.

The celebration over these golden idols is nothing but ritualistic performances, full of satanic worship. For the first time, I happened to glance at their 2015 OSCARS award celebrations, because an Evangelist made a reference to it. It's not worth watching. It's full of perversions, witchcraft rituals and mockery of the Body of Christ and Church settings.

Conversely, most of these celebrities such as Madonna and few others don't let their children watch Television. Check the link below:

http://youtu.be/wON9hTe7A3k

Remember, I started this series with an angel of God who took that Russian young lady on a spiritual journey of the wide and narrow way, before bringing her home. Pointing to the Television in her house he said: PEOPLE, IF YOU DON'T CARRY THAT THING OUT OF YOUR HOUSE, YOU WILL CARRY YOUR CHILDREN, OUT".

These false worship is also found in the body of Christ, among many Church leaders who allow the members to look up to them, and not up to God even when they spiritually feed them with filthy things. These false worshipers of men of God, most of them have been killed also…remember the continual tragedies of the Synagogue. Cameroon government warned their people since 2011 to visit Nigeria for that purpose at their own risk. This false worship also comes through what is being viewed on Television Screens. When people replace man as God, as they think that getting to this particular "Prophet" will solve their problems, and they spend everything they have, sell their properties just to come to see the man they believe would solve their problems, they have misplaced priority and they may not have God's protection because they are looking up to man, not God.

We are at end times. It's time to choose who we are to worship once and for all. Many people that are deceived with false worship whether with these golden idols and "fallen stars" (demons) or their human agents are today in Hell in full demonic torments from these very demons they once worshiped. How many people have visited Hell in their visions and have come back with the information of the famous people and stars that are in the torments of Hell. Let us repent, return and like Ezra, put away our idols, those things that cause us to stumble even as the Lord God is separating the chaff from the wheat. These include TVs, excessive internet use especially excessive social networking and surrender our idols at the altar of our only true and Living God. Let's come to the side of our God, we and our loved once, fully. Let's read 2 Kings 23 for Josiah's reformation and learn from them.

Let us trade in or Television hours to other useful and fruitful activities. David Wilkerson sold his TV and traded his usual two hour a night TV times to prayers, and great ministry and hundreds of thousands of souls were saved, armies were raised, streets were cleared from dangerous gangs, many homeless people found hope and fruitful living, now fulfilling their prophetic calling.

Let's trade it in for times with the Lord; for more times with our families (Television creates division in many families for those who replaced their union with their spouses with TV addiction). Families can once again come into unity, and not scattered. We can do away with this Satan's property as that angel of God said to that girl, and replace that satanic family altar with Altar where our families meet with God each day. The presence of an idol in our lives and families hinder the presence of God in our families. By spending quality times in personal Bible studies and prayers at the family altars with God, great ministries could be born and thousands of lives could be saved. Parents could find more fruitful times to bring their children to the family altar of God, in prayers and studies, blessings of God will be realized, amen! It's also time to plan to reach out to the lost souls through Street evangelism, intercessory prayers for the lost souls. God bless us in Jesus name, Amen.
