Entertainment is one of the seven mountains of influence that we have a responsibility to take for Jesus. The main stream of entertainment for a long time has been music and drama, but in recent decades, dance and comedy has taken a major role in this sphere of influence. The advent of social media has also increased the rate at which video and comedy travels to the people. Dance has become a great entertaining tool today and it is arguably the greatest stream taking over all the streams of entertainment. While the decadence in the entertainment industry is not the goal of this writing, I cannot ignore that there is a spike in immorality since internet has removed the gates of regulatory bodies that check the morality of songs and videos. Christians are gladly recognizing the sphere of influence, but, we must know where to draw the line. Let me share about each stream of entertainment.

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

  I welcome you to the year AD 2024. I believe that your hopes are renewed for greater heights in all that God has called you to be and to do. Like I do every year, I have come to give you an account of the major events of 2023 as we wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus gave us signs that will be happening around the time He would return, so it's important that we watch and put our house in order because in 2023, we edged closer to seeing our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. World Events United Nations described the year 2023 as a year of Enormous Suffering and Violence. Global Peace Index continue to nosedive for the 9th consecutive year, losing 0.42% in 2023 alone. BRICS Expansion in August to include Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Iran, UAE, Egypt and Ethiopia sent shock waves round the world as the organization is getting big enough to confront NATO. Are we going to see greater shakings of nations in 2024? China Spy Balloons showed up on the streets of America in Februar...

Oranmiyan left Ile Ife as a boy uneducated in the way of a Nephilim, but he returned fully grown, educated and ready to fight. His return to the land sent the enemies of Oduduwa into hiding. His brand was like that of Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series. There was palpable fear among the enemies of Oduduwa so much that they don't mention his name. If anyone supporting Oduduwa is in trouble, all he/she needed to do was shout the name of Oranmiyan and the giant would appear. His powers are unmatched. His presence commanded fear and awe. His fighting skills could not be matched. It was game over for Obatala and Orunmila.  The first assignment of Oranmiyan was in Benin kingdom where he established a new royal line of Oba of Bini. Till date, the kings of Benin consider themselves a direct descendant of Oranmiyan, a family line with strong divination prowess. You would have heard of Aruan, a giant baby born in the family. Oranmiyan was not satisfied with the spiritual atmosphere of...

The birth of Oranmiyan came in the last days of Oduduwa. He already knew that he won't be able to see to the learning of the giant baby. Being a different breed, Oranmiyan would need a different education and for this to happen, Oduduwa had to send Oranmiyan to Egypt. At that time, no one knew what manner of child Oranmiyan would grow up into. They only knew that he was going to be strange, but they couldn't define the strange. To help you understand this well, we need to look into who a Nephilim is. The first time this breed of creatures entered the earth was in Genesis 6 when demons of high ranks found a way to deposit their seed in the women, the product was a breed that is half human and half demon. This is not a demon possessed man, but a being that is a demon with some human capabilities. It was so strange that God had to wipe them out with the flood because God considered them a contamination that could spoil His plan of redemption through Jesus. These people fought agai...

Before we look at the birth of Oranmiyan, it is necessary to learn about a certain man- Ogun. The war situation between Oduduwa and Obatala gave Oduduwa a lot of concerns. He gave birth to seven sons whom he sent into other locations to establish themselves and regard Ile Ife as their source. This is why we refer to Oduduwa today as the projenitor of the Yoruba people whereas, Oduduwa's family only took over the thrones of an already established tribe. It is historically inaccurate to refer to the Yoruba people as children of Oduduwa. Taking over a place and changing their culture completely is a pattern that is seen in a nation in the bible. That nation is Babylon. When Babylon takes over a place, they suck out their culture and give them Babylon culture. They take the best sons of the land and train them in Babylon ways so that the original culture of those people will be lost. This is what Nebuchadnezzar did with Daniel and his friends and the reason why the princes of Babylon d...
