Since the beginning of time, a fierce spiritual battle has raged between the forces of good and evil. Today the spiritual entities of wickedness are winning, burdening countless souls in a world lacerated by evil. To claim victory, God is calling us to engage in spiritual warfare as the only way to save the world from the desolation that is sure to come. In these pages, theologian Venatius Oforka explains that we are part of a spiritual web through which God acts to save souls. No longer does God create out of nothing. Instead, He achieves His purposes through the prayers and actions we pour in. To win such a sophisticated war, Oforka introduces us to the supernatural weapons of war and how we can shape the events that affect our earthly and eternal destiny. From Father Oforka, you will The Art of Spiritual Warfare is the one book you need to awaken our world from its spiritual hibernation and to exercise the awesome privilege of working with God in the realization of His Kingdom.
Why is the Church growing more rapidly in Africa than anywhere else on the earth? You’ll get a better idea why the Church is doing so well in Africa after reading this thoughtful primer.
If ever you find yourself thinking that prayer is unimportant, you would do well to pick up this book. Oforka gives many examples of how prayer has changed the fate of nations. Prayer is the most important thing a Christian does. By prayer, we receive the grace to live as the adopted sons of God. Without this grace, we can do nothing.
Oforka gives much practical advice on how to be an intercessor, and this book will enrich your prayer life. A very quick and easy read too.
I found the book very insightful as it is for some a reminder and others new information or recalling of the tools at our disposal in our constant battle of Spiritual Warfare. There were at times where I thought he was saying a man or Spiritual Warrior is a better can’t have fear in battle, albeit true in a sense, I still believe a man can feel fear but it is his resolve, to steal ones self in a moment of fear, that is courage or fortitude. Another thing, though it may be a bit nitpicking, He says somewhere in Chapter 2, after he quotes Exodus, that God wanted Moses’ permission to forgive the Israelites behavior in worshipping the golden calf. God doesn’t ask for permission from anyone, rather using the Duns Scotus theory, God stands outside of time. He knew Moses would plead God’s Mercy, but because He gave Man free will he allowed Moses to make a choice.
Other than that it was a very good read and I believe that I myself am better equipped in knowledge to continue the fight.

This is an excellent book for your “spiritual warfare theology” study on your bookshelf. A must-read for anyone who needs (also want) to learn what’s the right way to do as a prayer intercessor within the spiritual battle. This book helps me to know what’s the real and proper meaning of the term: intercessor. It is genuinely a word of encouragement to engage with practical advice on being an intercessor.
Very good read for learning about the power and importance of prayer as well as the tools that God has provided us with so that we can have more efficacious prayers. Really enjoyed reading it.
