DeDication

I dedicate this book to the people victimized in my days of ignorance when I was blindly running the devil’s evil errands. I dedicate it to all those who died, and all the children who became orphans. I dedicate this book to my kinsmen who died in their ignorant service to Nya-ghe-a-weh.

I also dedicate this book to my spiritual children worldwide, especially to Mundemba and Cameroun.

With open hands, I dedicate this book to whomever will read it.

acknowleDgments

I wish to thank and acknowledge God Almighty for giving Christ Jesus, His beloved Son, for a sinner like me.

I thank my mother. It is almost unbelievable she could show affection to me as a mother after knowing the much dreaded General Butt Naked was her own son.

The Lord has transformed me through another wonderful woman who I cannot leave out in this time of my life, Dr. Lyn Westman. God brought her into my life by way of her counsel-ing skills, and she has shown me love that I cannot imagine. She even adopted me as her son.

I acknowledge and appreciate Bishop John Kun Kun of Liberia and Pastor Jare Olawaye of Nigeria who serve as my spiritual fathers and did not listen to threats and other dis-approving comments. And I will not forget Soul Winning Evangelical Ministries.

Acknowledging due regard to my beloved wife, Josie, for accepting the brutal material that I was—yet she gave me every opportunity to prove myself and supports me while I fulfill the purpose of God for my life through this book and other areas.

To Reverend David Nehemiah Greene who risked his life to aid me in escaping Liberia, in obedience to the Lord. He stood by me throughout my life in exile and since I returned to Liberia.

REDEMPTION_v4.indd 7 11/9/12 1:50 PM

To Musu Kawah who first recognized the greatness God put in me. She made efforts to set the stage for me to effectively uti-lize my potential.

To Mrs. Jean Seah Jabbal who opened her home to me when other homes were afraid of me; she even introduced me to the Church of God in Christ.

My special acknowledgment to the Church of God in Christ family and the Community Of Caring (COC) family through Mother and Elder Charles C. Kennedy. To the Late Mother Hazz, may she rest with the Lord.

My great acknowledgment to Harris T. Warner who strived to reconcile me with the people on whom I inflicted pain, and for the time he gave in the arrangement of these testimonies.

My acknowledgment to Evangelist Ceebee C.D. Barshell who interpreted these deep truths into an understandable language.

Finally, to all the families the Lord has given me around the globe, especially in Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Benin Republic, Togo, Cote D’Ivoire, and Singapore.

enDorsement

Joshua Milton Blahyi is a young, dynamic man called by God from his mother’s womb. I strongly believe that God only allowed him to go on reconnaissance for those fourteen years he spent in the kingdom of darkness. This book is written to expose the deeds of the kingdom of darkness and to reveal the awesome power and tangibility of God’s love to humankind.

Evangelist Blahyi and his testimony in this book are tools and weapons of liberation for the Body of Christ to use. If the Body of Christ reads and responds to the deep revelation of this book, it will bring the end of the devil’s deception in our lives, marriages, businesses, and ministries. In the years to come, the Church is going to experience serious attacks from the devil. The ignorant and the fainthearted won’t stand a chance. Read this book, increase your knowledge, and launch an advanced and aggressive spiritual warfare. Read it prayerfully, carefully, and with an open heart.

Author’s speciAl chArge

This book would not be complete if I don’t share this burden the Lord dropped into my spirit. I want to admonish Christians worldwide to stand in the gap to intercede for God to touch the hearts of international and national policy makers to revisit their imprisonment laws. I have learned firsthand that many prison inmates come to their senses just a few minutes before they are thrown into jail.

Children of God, the world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God, so we need to stand our ground in prayer. If you are in the position to reach out to prisoners, please help to free them from their self-imprisonment by sharing a copy of this book with them. Tell them that although they are jailed by chains and bars, telling the truth of their stories could help others, and by this they will enjoy a sense of freedom in Christ Jesus.

Those who are related to convicts, please do your best to stand in the gap for your relative. Who knows? God might want you to be used as a hero, like all the people I acknowledged in this book and in my life. After reading this book, you will under-stand that your relative’s offense cannot be compared to mine. You will soon realize how terrible I was; but, like the apostle Paul, the same person the worst came from is the very person through whom God is now working. I also agree that many

might not seem to comply to reasoning, but it is not for us to give up on them.

Proverbs 4:16 states that the wicked do not sleep until they do evil. Let us keep standing until God—who is faithful and responsible for all of us—decides their end.

To open their eyes, in order to turn them from

darkness to light, and from the power of Satan

unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins

and an inheritance among those who are sancti-

fied by faith in Me (Acts 26:18).

the sinner’s prAyer

I have sinned against You, O Lord. Forgive me. Accept me into Your plan for humankind once again. I thought I had lost all meaning for living and could no longer be restored. But if You can save Brother Joshua, you can also save me from… (pronounce whatever you know as a stronghold on you).

Believe God has forgiven you and thank Him for it. Then ask God to lead you to a church or pastor where you can be taught His ways. As God blessed me, so are you blessed—and even more blessings are coming your way as you remain steadfast.

About the Author

headlined as “the most evil men in the world” in a major United Kingdom online news publication, Joshua Milton Bla-

hyi has been interviewed by media worldwide. His life as a violent warlord began at age 11 when he carried out his first human sac-rifice—and takes responsibility for 20,000 deaths during the time he was controlled by Satan during Liberia’s civil war years.

He has been preaching God’s Good News for more than a decade and is married with four children. Pastor Blahyi and his family live in Liberia.

A word froM the Author’s wife, Josie blAhyi

Evangelist Joshua Milton Blahyi is my husband, and he is a very nice, jovial, and down-to-earth person. He has been serving the Lord for fourteen years now. He is a man of integrity, and is also a carrier of God’s power, presence, and anointing. Joshua is very lively and cheerful as he fathers our four children. I do not see him as other people may see him. I am convinced in my heart of hearts that he is a new person indeed. There is no trace of his past. I miss him every second whenever he is away from home on missions, but the Lord told me what I was getting into when He revealed to me Joshua, my hero, as my husband.

REDEMPTION_v4.indd 157 11/9/12 1:50 PM

Please read this book again if you have the time and consider all that my husband has revealed. It will profit you a great deal.

May God richly bless you.
