Abstract

Adelakun's I Powerful Prayer and the Political Praxis of Spiritual Warfare Devices i is an interdisciplinary musing on phenomenality and performativity of spiritual warfare acts. Adelakun, in the first chapter, focuses on the conceptualisation of prayers as apocalyptic devices deployed to terminate and abort Satanic "pregnancies" aimed at derailing human destiny and stunting social prosperities. In the last chapter, Adelakun explores the Christian reaction to the effect of Covid-19 in terms of virtual worship and emphasises prayers as an essential service during the pandemic.
