The Fisherman


This morning, I saw a man trying to catch fish. It was a very interesting scene for me as it is the first time I will be seeing it live. I was fascinated at the way the man caught the fishes because I have never heard of his method.

He held a small green net and a cutlass. He would throw a stone into the river at several points and somehow, this makes the fishes to come to the surface of the water which makes the man to pick them very easily. Wow! It was just very easy.

I was not the only one that was fascinated by the scene, but the other 'spectators' were not convinced at the ease with which the fishes made themselves available at the surface of the water. I just listened as they discussed and made speculations.

A woman said he was using 'something' while most men said he must have poured something into the river that made the fishes to move to the surface because they were not comfortable in the river again. When I heard that, my mind just traveled to where there is no time.

The man poured something into the river to make it uncomfortable for the fishes and when they came up, he grabbed them. Many times, we have behaved like the fishes and entered into the trap of the enemy.

There are a lot of things in the environment today that simply wants to get our attention so that we can be 'grabbed. They seek to shift our gaze from the Lord and just like the water wasn't comfortable for the fishes, the voices in the environment can be very loud that you feel that the only solution is to change your gaze from the LORD.

Examples abound in the bible. A popular one is that of Elimelech that left Bethlehem because of famine. The voice of the famine was so loud that the only reasonable thing to do was to leave for a place that has food. It's not a bad thing he did, after all, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob moves because of famine too, but he missed it.

Peter began to sink when he saw that the wind was boisterous while he was walking on water, the 10 spies couldn't just believe it, the Pharisees were carried away. The evidence they saw in their surrounding was very real.

Isaiah said something that is very profound in chapter 26 verse 3. At this time that it all seems 'hard' and 'everyone' is liberal about some things, make sure you don't compromise. Don't change the standard. Fishes live inside water.

Tomorrow is sunday. Check Psalm 37

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
