There is no road up there!


A noise erupted at the tail end of our camp. I felt it must be some people who are still overjoyed at our freedom, so I didn’t bother standing up from my tent. Moreover, I was tired and needed rest. The noise continued and became louder. It seemed like the noise was travelling down the camp. ’It is indeed a thing of joy’, I thought. When the noise reached my tent, I turned a deaf ear to it. I was deliberate at sleeping, at least for some time. Suddenly, my brother bagged into my tent and shouted ‘get up, they are coming’.

Fatigue ran out of my body as I stood up to confirm what he said. As fast as I could, I ran to the see for myself. Just as it is written in the bible, lo and behold, I saw chariots racing towards us. I wondered what could be the reason for this chase, but whatever their reason is, we certainly would not wait for them to meet us here. Still thinking, my eardrum picked the vibration that sounded like my name. I turned around to see who was calling me. It was the elders and I knew that I was in serious trouble.

I was having some cool time with the sheep of my father-in-law when God called me to lead His people out of captivity. Now, we are out of captivity and our former masters were racing towards us in angry chariots. We would have packed up our tent and start running, but right before us was something that looked like all the waters of the earth. We couldn’t move forward and the enemy was right behind us. There was no way of escape, but I knew that there is a God.

After I was able to calm them down, I said ‘do not fear. Stand still and see the salvation of Jehovah, which He will prepare for you this day…’ It was a very bold thing to say; I mean very bold. I knew God can do miracles, but I wondered how He would save us from this. I composed myself before everyone to give them some confidence as I walked back into my tent. I began to cry unto God immediately I entered my tent. His answer almost struck me dumb. He queried me for crying out to Him and asked us to go forward. Forward? Seriously?

‘Okay, maybe you don’t understand, there is a sea in front. There is no way in the direction You are pointing’, but the Lord replied with the same instruction.
Disappointedly, I came out of my tent only to see that it was my tent alone that was still standing. Everyone was packed and they were waiting for the guy that made bold statements. Foolishly, I walked towards the sea, obeying the instructions I heard from the Lord. When I got to the bank of the river, I heard the Lord say to me ‘lift up your rod and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it’. At this point, I had no choice than to obey the Word of the Lord. I dared not look back. Apart from the million eyeballs focused on me, chariots were also far behind running towards us.

I lifted up my rod and I could hear laughter from the people I was leading, but I didn’t bother to confirm so I focused on parting the sea with a rod. What a smart idea! The short time felt like years. What now? How will it happen? As I was bringing down my rod, I began to feel a cool breeze slapping my face. The breeze soon turned into a strong wind and the sea before us began to move to sides creating a path way in the belly of the sea. I shifted back and looked at the miracle in front of me. The sea parted into two and we walked on dry ground. Not even a marshy pathway, it was dry!

Truly like St. Augustine said, miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.

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
