Gambling has traditionally been considered a โ€œvice,โ€ along with prostitution, illegal drugs, and pornography. In law enforcement, the term โ€œviceโ€ is often considered an inherently immoral activity, often accompanied by depraved, harmful behavior (John Stemberger).
Asmodeus is the name of the demon behind betting. He is the prince of demons in hell. Asmodeus represents lusts. (Terrezo2002 on Nairaland). He incites gambling, and is the overseer of all the gambling houses in the court of Hell.
Some Catholic theologians compared him with Abaddon. Yet other authors considered Asmodeus a prince of revenge (Wikipedia). Like every other demons, his purpose is to steal, kill and destroy.
By the grace of God, I will be exposing its work of darkness here.
This demon lures people into his control. The moment he gets anyone under his control, the person is as good as 'finished' because he will continue to take up everything you possess and then invite other demons to destroy other parts of your life.
Many people started to bet just for the fun of it. You don't mind then if you lose or not. You just wanted to have fun. Then after many stakings, you then realised you can make a living on betting.
You begin to calculate how much you could make if you place bets for a certain period of time.
Then you draft out the plan and it looks so achievable. You place the first bet, it BOOMS!, the happy hormone triggers. You try again, you win again. Then a third time, you lose.
You go back to the drawing board and restrategise.
You write out another draft of a new strategy.
This is how you will be trying every known strategy that you know everytime a strategy fails not knowing that no strategy works unless you dine with the devil himself.
You begin to have friends of like minds, punters, and bettors. You follow up on predictions online.
Liverpool to beat Fulham, Chelsea to score 1st half, West ham win or draw etc are those things that will fill your mind. You hardly concentrate on other things at this stage.
This stage is when the demon takes control of the mind. Once demons take control of the mind of a person, he controls the person. You don't do your work well; you hardly sleep well, your countenance changes. When people look at your face, they will ask you, what you are thinking?
Many times, you will read how betting has ruined people. That's the purpose of this demon, to ruin. He is very wicked. He keeps tempting you even when you don't have money. He will tell you to borrow, steal, lie to get money.
You could bet with money given to you to hold.
The aim is to take everything and even what you don't have.
The demon wants people to be useless. He wants marriages to fail. He wants men to lose their rights. He wants men to be useless. He wants children to be wayward.
When these things happen, the demon is happy.
Part with #100 and in less than a year, you
could gamble away #1,000,000. They don't even mind giving you bonus.

Some of these agents go about advocating for gambling. Telling people there is nothing wrong in it.
They fight against those who preach against it. They tell you it was designed to help the poor. There are some agents whose work is to tell people how they are making it on betting. How betting is helping them.
Some will tell you that it is because you don't know the tricks. It is all lies.
There is nothing like sure odds. Even 1.00000001 odd is not sure. So don't heed to people's temptations.
Can you be free from this demon? The answer is yes. The surest is through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. With simple sincere prayers, the demonic hold over the person is broken off and the person is set free.
You will even begin to hate it passionately the moment the demon leaves such a person.

The evils caused by betting is so enormous that you will imagine if this bet can be the reason for this.
The truth is that so many people underestimate this demon and you know what? He loves to be underestimated. He loves to be unnoticed. That's why some people don't believe there is anything called demon or devil.
As evil as this betting is it will amaze you to see that countries still legalise it. The people in the authorities can easily be influenced by this demon. He can gets his way into anywhere even in the church. Even among pastors. Even among strong born again.
He uses his weapon, lust. Both young and old; male and female; believers and non believers are being influenced.

The victory is in Christ Jesus
