Word For The 23rd Week Of 2018

Topic: Leaning On Her Beloved

Text: Song of Solomon 8:5 Who [is] this coming up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you under the apple tree. There your mother brought you forth; There she [who] bore you brought [you] forth.

I came across this verse of the bible in 300L when I read a material by Pastor Mick Bickle of the International House Of Prayer. Since then, the scripture has stayed with me and while I prayed this morning, the LORD brought it back to me as the word for this week.

The verse explains a scene where a woman, leaning upon her husband whom she loves, is coming out of the wilderness. The woman signifies the bride of Christ which we are and the beloved is our Jesus. The wilderness in the bible signifies a place of unpleasant experiences where you are tested and made to grow into a particular posture.

This scripture is very reassuring as we can now see that the LORD Himself is aware of our many struggles and He is not just aware, but He is also with us in the very struggle. This should encourage our heart and trust more in His love for us.

What is happening to us is similar to what David declared in Psalm 23:4

Psalms 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You [are] with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

The LORD is with us despite the situation.

For every calling of God upon our life, there is a corresponding strength that is available to us. So whatever God has called you to be or do, trust Him to fulfill it. No matter how big it looks, trust in the LORD to do the will of the LORD.

We read the new creation realities and we see how far we are from it when we consider our experiences. We read the prophecies of our days and we see how far we are from the description of the believers of the last days, yet the LORD is assuring our hearts this week that we should lean on Him to come out of the wilderness.

I urge you to believe in the ability of the LORD to take you to the promised land where all that He has said about you will be a reality. Don't trust your strength, trust in the LORD with all your heart.

Have a great week

The Coming Of The Lord Is Near

Your Brother,

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. T

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
