Word For The 11th Week Of 2018

Topic: Making Disciples

Text: Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Myles Munroe of blessed memory said that when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. It is important that we know the essence of all that Jesus Christ did for us. The verse of our study for this week is preceded by an emphatic statement made by Jesus Himself. He said that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him, so He commanded His disciples to go into the nations and make disciples.

This means that the essence of the authority that Jesus collected is for us to make disciples in every nation. This is a calling that God rests upon the shoulders of men who have, themselves been discipled. The job of making disciples can therefore, be done by a disciple. Jesus discipled the 12 apostles before commissioned them to go and also make disciples.

In this last days, verses of the bible like Ezekiel 22:30 where God announced that he is seeking for a man, is very pronounced. God does not have enough men in the earth today and this is as a result of our deficiency in making disciples. Jesus had enough men to work with, even though they were just 11 that made it through.

We seem to have many disciples of pastors and general overseers and we have very little disciples of Jesus. We must become deliberate at raising disciples for the Lord so that we can have more men that can wield the authority of Jesus. Until a man is discipled, he won't have access into the authority of Jesus.

I urge you to look around you and identify people that have given their life to Christ and help the press forward on our upward calling into Christ. Let God find a watchman in you at this time.

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
