Word For The 8th Week Of 2018

Topic: Choosing Jesus (Part 1)

Text: Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? (Amos 3:3)

The book of Amos was written by a prophet from Judah to the 10 tribes of Israel during the days of King Jeroboam. The 10 tribes, led by Jeroboam had left the living God and followed the idols set up by the King. Amos was a shepherd raised by God to warn them and demand for a change.

The question in the text was asked by the Lord Himself. He asked if two can ever walk together if there isn't any form of agreement between them. This question is very relevant today as we are placed in the same shoes that the 10 tribes found themselves after breaking away from the son of Solomon. They had the autonomy to do whatever they wanted.

Before two people can walk together, they must have first agreed to go in the same direction. The same applies to our walk with God in this time. If we will walk with God, we must first agree to go in the direction He has chosen. Our plans and pursuits must be in accordance with the direction that the Lord is moving.

Also, for two people to walk together, they must be walking at the same pace. This calls for patience in our walk with God. The saints of old received the promise by faith and patience (Heb 6:12). Patience is a core value that every believer must have to be able to walk with God. We must prioritize patience as much as we prioritize faith.

The last days call for circumspect living which means that we cannot live as we want because we are in perilous times (2Tim 3:1) and it will be unwise to take steps that the Lord, who is the all wise God, did not ordain.

I urge you to always seek what the will of the Lord is in all things (Eph 5:17), wait on and for Him. That is the mark of a wise man. The meaning of the word Amos is "Bonding". Bind yourself to the Lord.

Have a great week

The Coming Of The Lord Is Near

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
