The Contextualization of Spiritual Warfare in Nigeria: An Assessment of the Ministry of Garrick Braide
NIU journal of humanities. September 30, 2025 Innocent Karibo
Spiritual warfare in Nigerian Christianity intertwines African cosmologies, socio-political realities, and theological frameworks, involving struggles against spiritual oppression and the pursuit of communal well-being. This study examines the prophetic ministry of Garrick Sokari Braide (1882–1918), a pioneer of African Indigenous Christianity whose work emphasized healing, deliverance, and moral reform. Braide challenged colonial missionary authority, affirmed African Christian identity, and framed spiritual engagement as both religious devotion and socio-political resistance.
