I’m A Ritualist – Nigerian Pastor Tells Congregation, Says It Is Biblical

Senior Pastor Francisca Emmanuel of Transformation World Ministries has controversially declared herself a ritualist, asserting in a recent sermon that being a ritualist is biblical.

Pastor Emmanuel argued that certain battles cannot be won through ordinary prayers and emphasised the need for rituals to overcome the principalities and powers of darkness.

The cleric maintained that being a ritualist is essential for bouncing back negative actions directed at oneself and defeating enemies.

The cleric made this disclosure in one of her recent sermons that surfaced on social media @officialfranciscaemmanuel.

Declaring that she is a ritualist, Pastor Emmanuel noted that one needs more than prayer to conquer all the principalities and power of the darkness that are working against one destiny.

“I’m a ritualist I don’t know how you want to think about it because if you try me I would put an RIP for you rather than putting it for me,” she said.

She pointed out that people who succeeded in doing evil still end up going to social media to say thank you Jesus, adding that both the evil doer and kind-hearted people go to social media to appreciate Jesus without knowing the purpose of their appreciation.

“As a Christian you need to be a ritualist so that when your enemy do any bad to you it will bounce back to them. When they throw something at you it goes back to them.

“There are battles you need rituals to defeat. It doesn’t just require kneeling, sitting and speaking. Whatever you do is what your enemy do in opposite. You need rituals to defeat your enemy and get rest.”

While noting that ritual is biblical, Emmanuel said, “Let nobody deceive you. Rituals is biblical. Being a ritualist is biblical.”
