LOVE AGAIN?



OUTER COURT-LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
Our love for our enemies, as important as it is, it is 30- fold of our love walk. “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”(Matt 5:43-45). Jesus told us to show love to our enemies, just like He does, giving them RAIN and SUN.
Who is our enemy?
Since our life is hidden in God, run the same course with the father and ultimately carry the DNA of God, we have the same enemy. Rom 8: 7-8 shows us the enemies of God-in-man: The mind and the Body (Flesh). Our mind and body are in constant war with the God kind of life within us.
How do we love them?
Jesus said we should be like His father who sends RAIN and SUN on both the good and the evil. Our mind, who is our enemy, actually needs our help to be renewed by the word of God and our body needs life (Zoe). The rain and sun God refers to is righteousness (Hos10: 12; Mal 4:2).
Do not let a day pass without renewing your mind and sowing Zoe into your body by studying the word and praying in the Spirit daily.  (Rom 12:2; 1Cor14:4)
HOLY PLACE-LOVE YOUR BROTHER
Here is a very practical place to use to measure our love walk. Our love for people around us is a product of how much we have fed our mind and body to bring it in obedience to love and not how much bestow all our goods to feed the poor, and give our bodies to be burned. Love, in itself is a most holy place dimension. An un-renewed mind cannot show love to others. It cannot be achieved by determination for it is written that by strength shall no man prevail (1Sam 2:9). If you want to love the more, get your mind renewed and sow Zoe into your body. There is no two way to becoming like Christ for we become what we behold. You are what you eat!!!
MOST HOLY PLACE-LOVE GOD
The fullness of this dimension of love walk demands childlikeness with respect to sincerity and purity of heart. We must pass through the outer court and holy place before we get into the most holy place. This simply means that an un-renewed mind cannot love his brothers and he that cannot love his brothers cannot love God. Apostle John had a very clear revelation of this truth when he wrote that if a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?(1Jn 4:20). Loving God is proved by our willingness to obey Him out of free will for God has called into freedom in righteousness. For example, even though, the paying of tithe is compulsory for everybody (Matt23:23), it is not meant to be done out of compulsion, but love for God loves a cheerful giver (2Cor9:7). Abundant love gives more than 10%. We seek the kingdom of God alone because we love the father and not because of the every other thing that will surely be added. Not slothful in business…Fervent in spirit…Serving the Lord. Love for God serves in His vineyard. What is the essence of our being diligent in our business, fervent in spirit and not serving the Lord? It takes spiritual maturity to be able to have this mind-set, however, it is not impossible!

KEEP PRESSING TILL WE ALL COME IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH, AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, UNTO A PERFECT MAN, UNTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULNESS OF CHRIST.

Oranmiyan (Part 3: Origin of Yoruba)

  Our journey will begin by identifying who the Yoruba people are. From the stories and relics of the children of the tribe, it is obvious that the projenitors of the tribe were deeply rooted in sorcery. Especially those who constitute the royal families. Their blood lines is soaked in idolatry, divination and sorcery. They know how to access principalities and powers and learn their worship modes. There are many stories about the origin of the Yoruba race. The Yoruba race has two major stories about their origin. One is supernatural. The other is natural The supernatural or divine one said that the supreme being, God, sent a god- Obatala to come and create the earth, but he got drunk and God had to send another god- Oduduwa. This is what some people hold. This school of thought has several loopholes chief of which is that Oduduwa entered Ile Ife in 11AD, but Ife Arts, according to carbon dating goes way back as 500BC which means that there was life in Ile Ife before Oduduwa came in.

Oranmiyan (Part 4: Lamurudu vs Oduduwa)

After being forced out of his land, Lamurudu settled in Egypt for some time where he deepened his knowledge in sorcery. He learned several patterns of rituals which still exists in some parts of Ijebu today. At that time, the Egyptians have developed so well in the worship of their gods who were originally men. The concept of gods begins with a man encountering a demonic prince who is looking for obeisance from men. These princes have the same goal as Lucifer. Once they begin to get attention from a man, the man begins to take up their (dark) nature because it is a law in the spirit realm that whatever you behold, you become. The consecration of these men to the worship of the princes led to the reproduction of the abilities and characteristics of the prince in the man, so the man becomes great among other men. Most of these men takes up the name of the prince that they worship such that when the man dies, you can keep calling his name and the prince responds to your request thereby es

Oranmiyan (Part 5: The gods of Egypt)

During the sojourn of Lamurudu in Egypt, what was going on in Egypt at that time was similar to what happened in Genesis 6:1-2 where demonic entities found a way to reproduce themselves in women to establish a race of beings that were not fully humans. These creatures were very big that they were called Giants. They had 6 fingers and toes and unusual strength. Bible refer to them as Nephilims which means mysterious beings who are large and strong. Some other meanings called them fallen ones. They had supernatural abilities and they preyed on full humans. The situation was like what was portrayed in Harry Potter that had pure bloods, half bloods, mud bloods and muggles. The pure bloods were the witches whose both parents are also witches, half blood is a witch with one parent as witch, mud blood has both parents as normal people and muggles are non witches. At that time in Genesis 6, the Nephilims had created another race on earth that paralleled the pure humans. This what why God sent
