The Joel Army



I was part of the team that went for a mission outreach to a school (the school has primary and secondary) today. We got there earlier than the scheduled time, so we had to wait in the principal's office for some time before the fellowship would start.

While waiting, I decided to check the book of Joel again. I read chapter 1 and few verses in chapter 2. I couldn't continue the reading because my entire fingers were shaking. It seems like some powers entered into it from the bible I was holding. I had to stand up and pace the principal's office to ease myself a little bit.

What I saw in chapter 1 made my heart burn! Joel described the terrible situation of the land. Crops being destroyed by insects, the fruits that were ripe for harvest were all left to rot away. The animals had no food to eat nor water to drink. The fountains had dried!

The priests were out of work as there was no sacrifice to offer anymore. The destruction was loud and domineering! Every single sector was under it control. They had no choice, but to mourn!

Verses 10 and 18 was like the summary. Look at it:

Joel 1:10 The field is wasted, The land mourns; For the grain is ruined, The new wine is dried up, The oil fails.

Joel 1:18 How the animals groan! The herds of cattle are restless, Because they have no pasture; Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.

Then, the instruction in chapter 2 verse 1 came in. Verse 2 is the bomb! I was excited and I let out a Tongues from my heart as I considered this scripture in the principal's office.

When we were called to minister to the students, I saw how primary school students (and the ones in the second secondary school) cried out to God for the outpouring of the Spirit upon them.

It just dawned on me: the Joel army is real!

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
