Nigerian cleric Pastor Chris Okafor has ignited a firestorm of controversy on social media following the release of a dramatic video where he is seen “hunting” for the devil in a bush.
Spiritual Warfare in Camouflage
The viral clip features the founder of Grace Nation International (Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry) dressed in full army camouflage. To vividly depict the concept of spiritual warfare, the pastor is captured wielding a rifle, firing shots, and chanting in tongues as if engaging in a literal shootout with evil spirits.
The Call to Battle
After the display of firepower, the cleric turned to the camera to declare his stance against satanic forces. The stunt served as a visual invitation for believers to join his ministry for deliverance and to battle their own spiritual obstacles.
He declared:
“It is war,”
Public Reactions
The theatrical display has sparked a heated debate online. While Pastor Okafor is known for his aggressive style of ministry and battle metaphors, this literal interpretation complete with military gear and weapons has left netizens divided. Some have questioned the methods used to demonstrate faith, while others expressed concern for his followers.
