ACCRA (Reuters) - A Ghanaian man was shot dead by a fellow villager while testing a magic spell designed to make him bulletproof, the official Ghana News Agency reported.
Aleobiga Aberima, 23, and around 15 other men from Lambu village, northeast Ghana, had asked a jujuman, or witchdoctor, to make them invincible to bullets.
After smearing his body with a concoction of herbs every day for two weeks, Aberima volunteered to be shot to check if the spell had worked.
One of the others fetched a rifle and shot Aberima who died instantly from a single bullet.
Angry Lambu residents seized the jujuman and beat him severely until a village elder rescued him, the Wednesday report added.
Tribal clashes are common in Ghana's far north, where people often resort to witchcraft in the hope of becoming invulnerable to bullets, swords and arrows.
The Principle of Revolution
A revolution is a complete & forcible overthrow and replacement of that which is oppressing you; a sudden, complete, or radical change in something.
A revolution is also a 360 degree turn back to a starting point.
You have to turn 180 degrees before you can complete a 360 degree turn.
Repentance is a 180 degree turn from that which oppresses you.
The 360 degree turn takes place when you go back to oppression and bring others out of what Jesus deilvered you from.

A watermelon farmer was determined to scare off the local kids who went
into his watermelon patch every night to eat their fill.
After some thought, he made a sign that read,
"WARNING! ONE OF THESE WATERMELONS HAS BEEN INJECTED WITH CYANIDE!"
He smiled smugly as he watched the kids run off the next night without
eating any of his melons.
A week later, the farmer was surveying his field. To his satisfaction, no
watermelons were missing, but a sign next to his read,
"NOW THERE ARE TWO!"
