THE DEMONIC TOOL OF RACISM By: Major Frank Materu
Key Scripture: Acts 17:26 - "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings."

INTRODUCTION
Racism is a tool of division and destruction that has been used by the forces of darkness to instill hatred, bitterness, and strife among humanity. This demonic agenda seeks to separate people based on superficial differences, deceiving them into thinking they are fundamentally opposed to one another. In truth, all humanity is of one blood, created by the Almighty God, and any attempts to elevate one race above another is nothing short of rebellion against the Creator.
Throughout history, racism has been used as a means of power, oppression, and justification for wickedness. However, in modern times, it has evolved into a manipulative instrument wielded by those who seek to profit from division rather than unity. Many who cry out against racial injustice are, in fact, the greatest perpetrators of racism, using it as a political and economic weapon to further their own selfish ambitions. This hypocrisy fuels hatred and violence, leading to more destruction rather than the peace that God desires for His people.
As believers, we must recognize racism for what it truly is—a demonic tool designed to separate us from the love of God and from one another. We are called to reject such hatred and instead embrace the truth of God’s kingdom, which is built on love, justice, and righteousness.

RACISM: A TOOL OF DIVISION AND DESTRUCTION
John 13:34-35 - "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
Racism is not merely a social issue—it is a spiritual attack aimed at keeping people in bondage to hatred and division. The enemy seeks to plant seeds of bitterness in the hearts of individuals so that they despise others based on race, ethnicity, or nationality. This destructive mindset only serves to weaken societies, families, and even the Church, preventing the unity that God intends for His people.
In many cases, those who perpetuate racism are blind to the fact that they are instruments of darkness. They use their voices and platforms to stir up anger, resentment, and violence, furthering the enemy’s agenda rather than God's will. True Christians must not fall into this trap. We must stand against the deception of racism and work toward unity in Christ.

THE HYPOCRISY OF RACIAL INJUSTICE ADVOCATES
Matthew 7:5 - "Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."
Many individuals who claim to fight against racial injustice are themselves the biggest racists. They use the concept of racial inequality as a means to gain wealth, power, and influence, all while inciting division among people. Their actions prove that they do not genuinely seek equality but rather the opportunity to dominate others through manipulation and control.
These hypocrites exploit the wounds of past injustices to stir up hatred in the present, refusing to allow healing and reconciliation to take place. They make their fortunes by continually playing the race card, convincing entire populations to see one another as enemies rather than as fellow human beings created by God. The true injustice lies in their refusal to promote love, forgiveness, and unity—values that God has commanded His people to uphold.

GOD'S VIEW ON HUMANITY: ONE BLOOD, ONE CREATION
Galatians 3:28 - "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
God did not create multiple races to be at war with each other. Instead, He created one human race, all sharing the same bloodline from Adam and Eve. The concept of racial superiority or inferiority is a lie from the enemy, meant to corrupt the minds of people and turn them against one another.
In Christ, there are no divisions based on race, social status, or nationality. We are all one in Him, and we must reject any ideology that seeks to separate us based on fleshly distinctions. Our true identity is found in Christ, not in the color of our skin or the language we speak.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF EMBRACING RACISM
Proverbs 6:16-19 - "These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren."
Racism brings destruction not only to individuals but to entire societies. Those who embrace this toxic ideology open themselves up to bitterness, hatred, and ultimately, spiritual destruction. The Bible is clear that God hates those who sow discord among His people, and racism is one of the most effective tools the enemy uses to create division.
If left unchecked, racism can lead to violence, war, and the breakdown of communities. Those who use racial tension to gain power will eventually be consumed by the same hatred they promote. The judgment of God will come upon those who refuse to turn away from this wickedness and embrace His call to love and unity.

SUMMARY
Racism is a demonic tool that has been used throughout history to sow hatred, division, and destruction among people. Many who claim to fight against racism are, in reality, its greatest promoters, using it to gain power and wealth while keeping others in a cycle of bitterness and anger. God’s word teaches that humanity is one blood, and in Christ, there is no division based on race or ethnicity.
