The book Doctrine of Demons exposes the dangers of manipulative church teachings, particularly the loyalty doctrine and spiritual fatherhood, which prioritize obedience to human leaders over Christ. These doctrines create spiritual bondage, fear, and control, leading to abuse, division, and moral decline in the church.
Ampofo argues that false teachings distort scripture, replacing the guidance of the Holy Spirit with strict hierarchies where pastors demand absolute submission. The loyalty doctrine suppresses personal revelation and critical thinking, making followers dependent on church leadership rather than God. The spiritual fatherhood doctrine further enforces control, positioning leaders as intermediaries between believers and God.
The book highlights the damaging effects of these doctrines:
•Spiritual abuse followers are manipulated through fear.
•Family division loyalty to leaders overrides personal relationships.
•Financial exploitation members are pressured to give sacrificially.
•Suppression of the Holy Spirit individual gifts and callings are stifled.
•Moral corruption unchecked power leads to scandals and deception.
To break free, believers must recognize manipulation, return to scripture, and seek the Holy Spirit's guidance. The book calls for reformation within the church, urging leaders to embrace humility and transparency while encouraging believers to grow in Christ, not in allegiance to a man.
Ampofo warns that standing for truth comes at a cost, but it is necessary to restore a Christ-centered church. He concludes with a call to reject fear, test all teachings against scripture, and stand firm in faith.
