Read This If You're Busy



I have some friends who are always busy whenever they are called up to do something in the church. Something was always more important than the assignment on ground in the church.

The excuses are always so genuine that I, at a point began to wonder if something is wrong with me. I mean, why am I always available? Since part 1 in the university, I have always been available so, I began to wonder if there was something I ought to be doing so that I would be busy like my friends.

A basic prerequisite to being used by God is to be available. Your availability gives God the right to make you into a usable vessel for great things that are beyond what the mind can capture.

The first choice of leadership in my fellowship on campus happened when I was in part 1. Some days to the date, I prayed a prayer in the third compartment of a place we call 'The Net (or Den)' in OAU.

I told God that I am available. Some things are just odd. What would make a two month old believer tell God that he is available to be used? I didn't even have a clue of what it means to serve God. Since then, there has been grace for me to be available.

Now, I have discovered that I wasn't missing anything out, but I have been labelled available. My friends who were busy on campus are still busy outside campus. It's more of a position than an attitude.

Several people want to be used by God, but they complain that they are so busy. You have to change that position. If you're busy today, you will not be available tomorrow. You remember that verse that says Faith is now?

My friends thought they will be available after school, but they are not. They are still stuck in being busy. Gone are the days when we thought ministry was all about the pulpit and the mic. We now know that every single Christian has a ministry.

Now is the time to be available, not tomorrow.

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
