THE DANGER OF PROFITING FROM DEMONIZATION By Major Frank Materu
Key Scripture:
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" — Mark 8:36 (KJV)

Introduction
We are living in an era where men and women make gain from their own demonization. They allow demonic influences to control their lives, and in return, they profit from it. The entertainment industry, political systems, and even some religious circles have embraced demonization, treating it as normal or even desirable. However, the scriptures make it clear that the demons will always collect their due. Those who trade their souls for temporary gain will find themselves lost in the end, facing eternal separation from God.
God never intended for men to seek profit through wickedness. Yet, in this perverse generation, demonization has become a form of business, entertainment, and even religious deception. The consequence of such choices is dire. Those who refuse to repent and turn to God will ultimately suffer under His divine wrath. This message serves as a warning to believers to remain steadfast in righteousness and reject all forms of demonic influence.

The Rise of Demonization in Society
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" — Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)
In today’s world, what was once considered evil is now celebrated. Demonization is openly displayed in movies, music, and social media, with many finding entertainment in acts of immorality, violence, and rebellion against God. Even religious leaders who should be standing against wickedness are instead endorsing it for popularity and financial gain. The Bible warns us that such actions will lead to destruction.

The Consequence of Following After Demons
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." — 1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV)
Those who align themselves with demons will eventually face severe consequences. What starts as a means of entertainment or financial success soon leads to complete spiritual bondage. Demons are deceptive, and once they gain access to a person’s life, they bring destruction. Many who have profited from demonic practices end up in despair, addiction, and even death.

The Nation Under the Rule of Demons
"The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." — Psalm 9:17 (KJV)
Nations that embrace demonic influences will suffer as a result. Many governments promote ungodly laws and practices that invite demonic control. When societies reject God’s truth, they open themselves up to deception and destruction. The decline of morality, increase in corruption, and widespread violence are signs of a nation under the rule of darkness.

Religious Deception and the Fall of False Leaders
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." — 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 (KJV)
Not all who claim to be of God are truly His. Many false leaders use religion as a platform for personal gain, leading their followers into deception. These leaders are often demonized themselves, operating under false doctrines and deceiving spirits. God will expose such leaders and bring their works to ruin. Those who blindly follow them will suffer the consequences.

God's Wrath Against the Wicked
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." — Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
God will not tolerate wickedness forever. His wrath will be revealed against those who choose to live in rebellion. Those who profit from demonic activities will be brought to shame. Their temporary gain will turn into eternal suffering unless they repent.

The Call to Repentance and Righteous Living
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." — Isaiah 1:18 (KJV)
Despite the widespread deception and wickedness in the world, God is still calling His people to repentance. He desires that none should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth. Those who turn away from sin and seek righteousness will find mercy and restoration in God.

Summary
The pursuit of profit through demonization is a dangerous and destructive path. Though the world celebrates darkness, God calls His people to righteousness. Those who engage in demonic activities will ultimately face the consequences, but God offers a way out through repentance and salvation. The only true profit is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ, not in the fleeting gains of this world.

He is faithful to deliver and restore those who seek Him with a sincere heart. No matter how deep one has fallen, God’s grace is sufficient to redeem and transform lives. Choose Christ today, and walk in His marvelous light. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." — James 4:7 (KJV)
