When I Used To Be Vibrant- Bolaji Ifeoluwa

My name is Bolaji Ifeoluwa O. I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University in May 2016 and i was opportune to serve as the *sister's coordinator* of my fellowship (The Apostolic Church Student Fellowship of Nigeria). Serving God in that capacity twice opened up my mind to some essential routine requisite for consistent spiritual growth. All of which I still engage in till date.

To keep myself alligned with God, firstly I ensure I pray daily, mind you not necessarily a long hour prayer like 10/12hrs (*smiles*) but I make sure my heart is always conversing with Him with my thoughts, I do "funny things" like asking how He wants my day to go and other seemly things. Hope you aren't wondering if I get responses because I do.
Secondly, I read books and listen to messages which makes me stay focused and keeps me in check.

Lastly, reading write-ups from mentors- men I respect and trust the grace of God upon their lives. This gives more light into certain issues and less I forget, interceding for others whether I get promptings or not is my source of strength.

I am not good at attending conferences, seminars, talks but if you are, that's good, it will help you keep the fire burning also.

Before I drop my pen, continuous and consistent spiritual growth after campus may seem difficult because majority enjoy corporate anointing and fellowship with little or no personal encounters or altars burning for the Lord.

However dear one, you can do better, take a step at a time, engage yourself more in that spiritual activity you love best, I love singing although my voice is... but that helps me commune with God, words and thoughts drop through it. Also, you can get a friend you are sure of his/her stand to help, you both can fix dates to pray and read the word.

Don't wait until you need something or you are in trouble before you take a step. Ask him a question today and you will be surprised at the answer you get, *do it!*.
I hope this helps someone.

Thanks

This is great Ife ife (lol). Am happy to read about your love for the Lord! Continuous abiding in the Lord is very important (John 15v5). God help us to keep burning for Him in Jesus name, Amen.

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
