Barking Like A Dog

Last week, I was coming from a vigil around 6am. It was still very dark and I could hardly see my way very well, but I could still walk without hitting my leg. I was half awake and very tired and I just tugged home to have some good time to sleep.

Close to my house, I started hearing a murmuring, but I could not decipher where it was coming from. All of a sudden, I began to hear a dog bark loudly and in an angry way. Unknown to me, I was already in front of the dog. It suddenly charged at me as it made some threatening noise to show his superiority.

Within split seconds, I let out a bark from my mouth that was louder than the threats of the dog. Right before me, the dog ran back and stood afar from me. It must have been surprised that my threats was much more louder than its own. I walked away making similar murmurings like that of an angry dog to make sure that it doesn't make another attack.

When I was in school, I learnt several things about the rights and privileges of a believer, but I didn't see many of it at work within me. I could remember I made a statement to myself several times. I would say "even if my experience doesn't align with the scriptures yet, I will keep believing".

Many christians have drawn back because they were scared by 'a dog' and they ran back. Your experiences may not align with the scriptures yet, but keep believing and keep pressing. It's a process. The devil is like that dog that stood in my way by bringing an experience that does not align with what I have read in the bible. Instead of running back, I barked loudly.

The word of God has a greater authority than the barking of the devil. Whenever he barks, bark back at him with a louder voice of the word of God. That is why you must let the word of Christ dwell within you richly. Stay with it and continue to confess it.

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
