DEVOTIONAL: OPEN MY EYES SEEING THE KINGDOM WITH SPIRITUAL SIGHT

Verse:
Psalm 119:18 (DLV)
Open my eyes that I may see the wonders of Your Torah.

Open my inner eyes that I miss you the hidden truth from your creation.

Introduction.
Grandpa, today I bring my eyes, my heart, and my mind before You.
I ask to see what is hidden not just with my physical eyes, but with my Ori, my inner self.

Yeshuah spoke to the people saying:
“Return to your path, the kingdom of Olódùmarè is here now.”

What he was telling them: spiritual sight is not automatic. It requires a turning back, a realignment with the truth of our destiny.
It requires humility, openness, and readiness to receive what is already around us.

Yoruba wisdom echoes the same truth:

“Ẹni tí ó ní ojú inú ń rí ohun tí kò hàn.”
He who has spiritual insight sees the invisible.

This verse, this prayer, is a reminder that the divine is always near, but our eyes must be prepared to recognize it.
Without spiritual sight, the wonders of life, the lessons, the guidance, the patterns of Olódùmarè remain hidden.

Meditation on this...
Where in my life have I been walking blindly?
Where have I ignored the guidance of my Ori or Grandpa?
What truths am I missing because I have not asked to see them?


Today, I open my heart.
I align my will with my Original.
I surrender distractions, pride, and fear.

I ask:

Grandpa, open my eyes. Show me Your wonders. Help me recognize Your kingdom here, now, in my life.

Prayer

Olódùmarè, I need Your eyes.
Open my spirit to see beyond the surface.
Help me perceive destiny, truth, and Your presence in every moment.
Teach me to walk humbly, act justly, and love fully.
Let my heart be pure so I may recognize Your wonders.

Asé 


1. Pause daily for 5–10 minutes in silence.
2. Ask Grandpa to open your eyes to the truths around you.
3. Observe life closely look for guidance, signs, or patterns you previously ignored.
4. Write down one revelation each day this builds spiritual sight.
5. Align with your Ori: make one small decision daily that follows your divine path.

Rage

Rage is often pain that never got language . When feelings are ignored for too long, they stop knocking and start breaking doors. A few gentle anchors that can help: 1. Separate who you are from what visits you Anger is a visitor, not your name. It shows up fast because it learned that speed was the only way to be heard. 2. Notice the spark, not the explosion There’s always a tiny click before the fire. Tight jaw. Fast breath. Heat in the chest. That click is power. If you catch it, you can pause the story before it runs you. 3. Give anger a safe language Anger that isn’t expressed cleanly will express itself messily. Writing. Walking hard. Cold water on the face. Speaking the truth without attacking. Think of it as letting steam out of a pot before it screams. 4. Be curious, not ashamed Instead of “Why am I like this?” Try: “What is this anger protecting?” Often it’s dignity, fear, old wounds, or boundaries that were crossed too many times. And one important thing: nice people often c...

The Power of Names in African Thought

The Power of Names in African Thought by Olamide Akinrinsola  In many African cultures, especially Yoruba, a name is not a label, it’s a sentence. Not a tag you wear, but a story that keeps speaking even when you are silent. Names are prayers frozen in sound Parents often name what they hope, what they survived, or what Olódùmarè whispered in a hard season. Every time the name is called, the prayer stretches its legs again. Names carry assignment Some names don’t just describe. They direct. That’s why elders take naming seriously. A careless name can confuse a destiny. A careful one can steady it Names can outgrow their first meaning You are not imprisoned by a name. You are invited to fulfil or refine it. Wisdom is knowing when to lean into it and when to rise above it. A quiet exercise for today Say your full name slowly. Ask: What story was being told when this name was given? Then ask Olódùmarè: Which part of this story am I meant to live out now?
