Word For The Week (Week 36): Exposition On Matthew 24 (Part 2)

Matthew 24:1-2 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not [one] stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

The destruction of the temple which signifies the destruction of the patterns and ideas we use to serve God will not affect ministries alone, but individual christians will also feel the heat of the shaking.

The destruction of the temple signifies the building of another. The temple is built using stones that have been chiseled into the shape and size needed for it to fit perfectly into its place in the building.

When the construction of the temple built by Solomon was going on, bible records in that there was not a single hammering that took place at the temple site. Every stone has been cut into shape before it arrived at the temple site where it was simply fitted into it rightful position.

This is the same pattern for the temple of Jesus today. This temple is being built by living stones (1Peter 2:5) such that we all have our unique shape, size and position in the temple. It is important that we go through the processes of the LORD that will ensure that we are cut into the right shape.

Many believers are not in the right shape today because they are not willing to follow the LORD's calling for their life. They are the ones deciding their own choices. As we approach the end of the age, such christians will not have a place in the temple of Jesus. They will be washed away by the destruction of the temple.

Individuals must also check out their lives and be certain that their life does not contain things that will be broken down by Jesus. Paul puts it in another way in 1 Corinthians 3. He says that some are building with wood, hay and stubble while others are building with precious stones. He said that the entire temple will be tested by fire.

Precious stones will come out purified by fire while wood, hay and stubble will be burnt out if the temple. We are already in the days of this shaking and I urge everyone to do a reexamination and be certain that you fit in perfectly to the temple of Jesus.

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
