The scripture does not want to leave anybody in doubt about the destructive ten- dencies of Satan. Therefore, it gives a vivid description of Satan and his diaboli- cal nature. In Genesis 3:1, the Bible says: Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. John 8:44 reads thus:...He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it. Another word for subtle in Genesis 3:1 is cunning. Cunning is synonymous with deception. Any individual with his attribute can manipulate another person to his own advantage.

From the foregoing, it is obvious that through his crafty nature. Satan can take advantage of you if you are ignorant oi his antics and not well grounded in the word of God. Satanic manipulations and antidotes is therefore a modest at- tempt on my part to expose the satanic veil that the devil uses before unleashing his deadly blows. The book is a product of my experience from counselling ses- sions with those who require divine guidance to their diverse spiritual prob- lems.1 wish to acknowledge the support of my brothers and sisters in the Lord whose interaction provided the necessary impetus for this publication. May you be richly blessed as you read through this publication.
