Soare Maiga lived in a village about 30 miles [50 km] from Port Moresby and was greatly feared because of his powers. However, he became curious about the beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses and started attending group Bible studies. Before long he accepted the truth and abandoned his old ways. But when he tried to discard his spiritistic paraphernalia, in some mysterious way it kept coming back! Nevertheless, Soare was determined to “oppose the Devil,” so one day he placed all the items in a bag, weighted it with a stone, and hurled it into the sea off Port Moresby. (Jas. 4:7) That time his items did not come back. Thereafter, this courageous man became a zealous Witness of the true God, Jehovah.
