Word For The 6th Week Of 2019

Topic: Watch and Pray (2)

Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.

Last week, I shared how that the coming of Jesus will only be a shock to those who have not been watching and praying. The parable of the 10 virgins showed that there was a watcher who let out the cry for the virgins to wake up from their slumber when the bridegroom was close.

Simeon and Anna were about the first set of individuals who could identify Jesus as the messiah even when he was still a baby because they have been watching and praying in the temple.

In the text for this week, Paul asserts to the Thessalonian church that the coming of Jesus should not catch us as a thief in the night, so he admonished that we should watch and be sober. This simply means that we must always be at alert. It is not out of uncertainty. Believers must be able to discern the coming of Jesus.

Pay attention to world events as they fulfill the biblical prophecies of the last days. When you see how much has been fulfilled and how much is left, it will make you let go of some pursuits. It will radicalize you completely.

I urge you to make watching and praying a habit. The coming of our LORD is truly closer than we think.

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.

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
