The truth is that the back-to-sender
doctrine is anti-Christ in its purest form.
The back-to-sender prayers are occultic
stunts. That’s the Word of God.
Ever heard of back-to-sender prayers? If you
are in Nigeria, you must have. Other variants
of the prayer is fire-for-fire, dangerous
prayers, etc.
The back-to-sender prayer is one of the worst
things to have hit the Body of Christ in the last
15 years. It is pure evil and in direct
disobedience to our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.
I recall when I was a teenager, some preacher
got up on the pulpit at a crusade and said,
“The Bible says, turn the other cheek, but for
me if you slap me, I will slap you back.” And he
succeeded in getting most of his audience riled
up. Some other preacher said that David said,
“God prepares a table before me in the
presence of my enemies.” But his own prayer
is, “God prepare a table before me in the
absence of my enemies.” And his audience was
equally energized.
I wish I knew then, what I know now. Perhaps,
I would have rescued some people around me
from what I believe was the onset of a wave of
wrong teaching and the practice of a doctrine
that has consumed so many Christians, denied
them their blessings, and prevented them from
realizing their true potential.
You see, that’s the enemy at work, and the
only way he works is to change a word or two,
turn God’s Word upside down and get you to
practice the opposite of what God instructs so
that you automatically step out of favour with
God, then bad things begin to happen and then
you would naturally ascribe those events to
him and he becomes even happier. Why? He
didn’t do anything but deceive you into
creating your circumstances for yourself, but
he is nonetheless pleased that you think it is
him. Why? Because the moment you begin to
ascribe powers to him, wrong things start
happening in your life. Why? You create your
own realities and because he doesn’t have any
power so it’s a wrong diagnosis of your problem
to start with. And a wrong diagnosis means
that a wrong solution will be applied. And a
wrong solution means that the problem will
persist. “My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge.” saith the LORD. Hosea 4:6
Back-to-sender is all about sending back evil to
whoever sent it to you. Back-to-sender
prayers involved a set of activities which
involve using words to turn back any spiritual
evil sent towards the person and direct it back
to the source which is another person.
This back-to-sender circuit has become very
popular and creative too, I might add. People
have written books, and built empires, and
obtained global fame and recognition by
promoting the back-to-sender doctrine. I have
heard or read some very comical prayer
points spawned by this doctrine of fear. Some
pastors have unknowingly adopted the
doctrine because it sounds right and appears
scriptural and because the forerunners appear
to be “making it in ministry”.
The truth is that the back-to-sender doctrine is
anti-Christ in its purest form. The back-to-
sender prayers are occultic stunts. That’s the
Word of God.
Our Lord Jesus Christ instructed us directly and
as clearly as any instruction can be. “But I say
unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate you, and
pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;.” Matthew 5:44 So, where did
all this “Anybody who is planning my death, fall
and die” come from? Jesus Christ taught us to
forgive those who hurt us, ““I tell you, not
seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
Matthew 18:21-22 and He even taught us to
remind our Heavenly Father about our having
forgiven others who offended us when we
prayer. [Read the Lord’s Prayer at Matthew
6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4] Where does the “any
evil arrow sent in my direction, back to the
sender” chime come in? These scripture show
that back-to-sender is anti-Christ.
How is it an occultic stunt? If someone sends
evil your way, it is definitely not the Holy Spirit
or angels that are meant to execute it. It has
to be demons. So, if you are communicating
with demons and sending them on errands to
other human beings, it means you are a
demonist, a diabolical person and one who
operates in the spirit realm using demons to
execute his instructions or wishes is an
occultist. A Christian who does this is no better
than the person who sent the evil to him in the
first place. If it is witchcraft, returning it is an
act of witchcraft.
This evil has got to stop. Back-to-sender
prayers is the worst kind of fear. Christians
need not be afraid of anything. Our Lord Jesus
said it, “Nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Believe him and stop walking in fear but in love.
Luke 10:19
Ever since back-to-sender prayers started,
how many have been answered? Some testify,
“I prayed and my evil uncle died.” Okay, no
arguments. But, the testifier is 50 years old.
The evil uncle must be over 70 years. Isn’t 70
years an okay time to depart this evil world?
Someone has got to die. Every man has an
appointment with death someday. Even the
testifier will die someday.
The vast majority of the people practicing back
to sender are living in frustration. Their prayers
are not answered. Grace has departed from
them. They are missing out on the goodness of
the Kingdom and I feel sorry for them and
every Christian who knows the truth should
too.

We are commanded by Christ in Matthew 5:44-45 to, "...love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you,
and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,..." The most difficult thing to do is to pray for those who hate you and spread hate about you. They are lost. There is no but
they did this or they did that and I feel this or that. The simple fact is that they are lost and will never know what we know until they know Christ.
