Trending video of a Nigerian pastor ordering his church members to come to church with canes to flog Satan has taken over social media trends.
In the now viral video that has received mixed reactions from social media users, the church members can be seen fervently praying while using the canes to hit the ground as a symbolism for beating Satan.
As seen in the footage, the unusual spiritual exercise was initiated by the pastor, who instructed members of the congregation to come to church with canes for the special prayer session.
During the service, the church members enthusiastically wielded their canes to repeatedly strike the floor as they prayed, symbolising their determination to defeat Satan and overcome the activities of evil forces.
The unusual approach to spiritual warfare has since attracted widespread attention online, with social media users expressing mixed reactions.
While some have found the practice amusing, others have questioned the idea behind using physical canes to symbolically flog Satan during a church service.
