When I Used To Be Vibrant 3

Before I start sharing the stories of my friends, I will share something with you which I believe that anybody that decides to live out this principle will never know lukewarmness.

I am a member of an interdenominational organization in Ibadan, Nigeria. It is a youth organization whose vision is to raise Godly leaders that will make global impact in their fields of assignment. We meet every week to pray and strengthen ourselves with the Word.

Anywhere I find myself, I always get involved in the running of the organization because I know that labourers are always strong! You can not get to a market and see the people that helps with load looking weak and out of strength.

They are always strong and eager to carry the load of customers either on their head or with their wheelbarrow. It's the same thing in the church. The people who are involved in the running of the church are always strong.

In the organization I joined, I am a member of a unit meets twice a month. During the meeting, we spend time to pray in tongues and share the word. We also have vigils once a week. I don't miss it. Before our weekly Sunday meeting, I would go early to join the prayer team to pray.

All these activities I am getting involved with are not just activities, but avenues to fellowship with the Lord. The prayer and study times are not wastes, but they are what energizes me to spend time in my secret place too.

Even if I don't have time to pray during a week, I know certainly that I will spend at least 7 hours in a week to pray in other tongues. It's simply because I am involved in service in my local assembly.

You should do the same too. Be an active member of your local assembly. Join a unit and attend mid-week services. It will help us develop strength in spite of the 'no time' epidemic that exists in the world today.

Now is the time to become vibrant again for the Lord just like you were on campus. It's bad for us to have a better yesterday; our path is meant to be brighter and brighter. In case you feel you would need my help, please reach out to me.

I would start the stories of my friends. How they have been able to also stay up above the waters in these times.

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
