Parable Of Brushes

I once came across some brushes that are used to paint buildings. They all had the color that came from the manufacturer, but it seems that there was a difference in the colors I saw, so I moved closer.

I discovered that the brushes do not all look alike. Some brushes has their color altered severely by the color of the paints they have been used to paint over time, so they had a color that could not be well defined. They looked quite rough.

I also saw another set of brushes that do not have the mixed color that the first group have. The initial color from the manufacturer could still be seen, but it has faded to a great extent, so instead of them having the mixed color of the others. They looked old.

Then I saw a third set of brushes. They were completely clean. Unstained. I wondered why they were so clean and new and I discovered that they have not been used to do any work. They are just fresh from the manufacturer. They looked very new.

The entire gathering of the brushes looks like a mixed multitude. It wasn't uniform and I also noticed that those that look alike clustered together and this gave birth to a fine line of division in between the groups. I wondered why they were arranged in that manner.

Then I decided to touch them and make some more findings about each category inside the entire bunch.

The first group with mixed colors were wet. It looked very much like the ones that are currently in use and the many colors shows how much they have been used.

The second group that looked old was very dry and rusty. They must be out of use for a long time.

While the third group that looked new was just painted. They were not wet like the first group or dry like the second group. They were sharp and ready for work after the renovation of the painter.

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
