The Difference Between the Teachings of Yeshua and the Teachings of Jesus. 1 . The Person Is the Same — The Versions Are Not Yeshua is the real historical name of Olúgbàlà: Yēshūaʿ (יֵשׁוּעַ) “Jesus” is the later Greek/Latin/English rendering. The difference is not the man, but the systems that carried His teachings. 2. Teachings of Yeshua = Hebrew, Jewish, Original These are teachings in the language, culture, worldview, and spiritual logic Yeshua actually used. Centered on: Hebrew concepts like Torah (instruction), Teshuvah (return), Shalom (wholeness) Kingdom of Olódùmarè understood through Jewish prophetic worldview Teaching methods like mashal (parable) Aramaic/Hebrew idioms that carry depth No political influence, no Roman filters, no councils changing things Character of Yeshua’s original teachings: Radical mercy Deep Hebrew mysticism Obedience as alignment with Olódùmarè Personal transformation Spiritual authority rooted in Él-Ḥay (Living God) Yeshua’s teachings = raw, Middle ...

In Ifá, the concept of Àṣẹ is central the sacred life force that flows through all beings, actions, and words.  Just as Yesuah spoke of rivers of living water flowing from the heart, Ifá teaches that spiritual vitality, wisdom, and destiny flow from the inner self when it is aligned with Olódùmarè and the guidance of the ancestors. Inner Source of Power: In both teachings, the heart is the origin.  In Ifá, this is the Ẹ̀mí (the inner breath or life force) that connects us to destiny and spiritual clarity.  Living water mirrors this: it is the energy that sustains, nourishes, and enables one to act rightly in the world. Purification and Readiness: Yesuah emphasizes openness and faith as the channel for living water.  In Ifá, rituals, divination, and reflection serve to clear the inner path, remove obstacles (àìní or spiritual blockages), and allow Àṣẹ to flow freely just as rivers need open channels to run. Nourishment for Self and Others: Rivers of living water flow ...

Dear kin and fellow travelers , These are restless times. Disease moves through the air, nations quarrel loudly, and communities fracture under the weight of fear. Everywhere, voices shout for loyalty, outrage, and urgency. It is easy to feel pulled apart by the noise. Yet wisdom has never lived in noise. It lives in listening. Long before modern crises, the Elders understood something essential: not every battle deserves your spirit. Not every emergency is cosmic. Some storms are loud but shallow. There was once a path-bearer  known to many as Olúgbàlà whose vision unsettled the leaders of his time. While they obsessed over survival, territory, and political threat, he moved from a deeper well. His concern was not the preservation of a nation, but the awakening of the forgotten. A recorded teaching tells us that the rulers feared losing their land and status if his influence spread. But Olúgbàlà was never building against Rome, nor for Jerusalem alone. He was gathering something ...

Theme: Ayànmọ́ Destiny Cannot Be Borrowed Text : “When we came from Ọ̀run, we chose our path before the Creator. Ọ̀rúnmìlà stood beside each soul, witnessing the choice made.” Odu Ifá, Ìrẹtẹ Méjì There’s something Grandpa once told me: “Mide, your life is not a mistake it is a memory of a promise you made before you arrived.” In Ifá, Ayànmọ́ is destiny not punishment or luck, but a path sealed in love before birth. When we walked through the gates of Ọ̀run, each of us stood before Olódùmarè and spoke the word that became our life. Ọ̀rúnmìlà was there - Elérìí Ìpín - the Witness of Destiny. Sometimes, our earthly eyes forget what our spirit once saw. We rush, complain, or compare. But Ifá reminds us: “A kì í fi ayànmọ́ ẹni mìí sára.” You cannot wear another person’s destiny and expect peace. When Olúgbàlà said, “Not my will but Yours be done,” He wasn’t giving up His freedom; He was aligning with His Ayànmọ́, the divine script written before time. So, my walk with Grandpa isn’t about f...

Zechariah was a prophet who lived during the post-exilic period of Israel's history, around the late 6th century BCE. He was one of the twelve Minor Prophets in the Hebrew Bible. His book contains visions , prophecies, and messages from God, addressing themes such as the restoration of Jerusalem, the coming of the Messiah, and the future glory of God's kingdom. Zechariah's prophecies offer hope and encouragement to the people of Israel during a time of rebuilding and spiritual renewal. What are the visions zechariah saw?  Zechariah saw several visions, each conveying different messages and symbolic imagery. Some of the notable visions include: 1. **The Horsemen Among Myrtle Trees (Zechariah 1:7-17)**: In this vision, Zechariah sees horses of different colors among myrtle trees, symbolizing God's presence and protection over the earth and His readiness to judge the nations. 2. **The Four Horns and Four Craftsmen (Zechariah 1:18-21)**: This vision portrays four horns re...

Knowing the will of Olódùmarè has never been a simple formula. Long before organized religion, people understood that divine direction is not shouted, it is felt, recognized, and aligned with. The will of the Source is not hidden; it reveals itself when the inner life is quiet, honest, and prepared. The first doorway is stillness and communion. What Christianity later called prayer was, in its original form, a conversation not begging, not rehearsed words, but honest communication between the human spirit and the Divine Breath (Ẹ̀mí). When a person slows down, speaks truthfully, and listens inwardly, guidance begins to surface. Not as noise, but as clarity. Another doorway is recorded wisdom. What many call scripture is not magic text; it is memory preserved. Stories, teachings, and experiences passed down to guide future generations. When read with discernment not fear these writings reveal patterns: justice, compassion, humility, responsibility, and balance. The value is not in blind...

Psalm 47:1 calls for a jubilant celebration of God's greatness. It encourages everyone, regardless of nationality or background, to express their joy and praise to God. The imagery of clapping hands and shouting with loud songs of joy paints a vibrant picture of exuberant worship and gratitude. This verse invites us to celebrate God's goodness with enthusiasm and to join together in joyful acknowledgment of His greatness.

2 Samuel 22 beautifully captures David's heartfelt praise and acknowledgment of God's steadfast protection. David recognizes God as his rock, refuge, shield, and salvation. It reflects a profound gratitude for God's deliverance from adversaries. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of praising and relying on the Lord in times of trouble, as expressed in verses like Psalm 18:3, "I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies." How does this resonate with your understanding? These goes in line with my understanding and giving me an assurance that when I called the lord he answers me like he's always ready to answer me. Your recognition of God's readiness to answer and the assurance that your praises are heard is deeply rooted in the faith and trust that David exemplified. As it's written in Psalm 34:17, "When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles." ...

It involves surrendering your desires, plans, and worries to God while relying on His wisdom and timing. Here are a few practical step: Prayer and Surrender: Regularly pray for guidance, acknowledging your dependence on God. Surrender your plans and desires, asking for His will to be done in your life. Seek His Word: Find guidance in the Scriptures. God's Word provides wisdom and insight. Reflect on passages that emphasize trust and reliance on God, such as Proverbs 3:5-6. Patience and Faith : Cultivate patience and trust in God's timing. Understand that His plans may not align with your immediate expectations, but His timing is perfect. Listen to His Promptings: Pay attention to the Holy Spirit's guidance. God often communicates through inner promptings, circumstances, and the peace or unrest in your heart. Community Support : Surround yourself with a supportive Christian community. Seek advice and wisdom from those who share your faith journey. Discernment ...

Good is a word we use to describe how our day is, how we're feeling, or how a particular meal tasted. Yet, it's also a word that we use to describe our mighty, majestic, and miraculous God. Seems odd, doesn't it? To use a word to describe God that we'd also use to describe how we felt about our lunch.  We can see evidence of God's goodness everywhere, in every day, and in every situation. Even when we're not aware of His goodness, He's still good. While God does do good things, His goodness is more than just what He does. It's who He is.  Psalm 25:8 NLT says,"The Lord is good and does what is right; He shows the proper path to those who go astray." The Hebrew word for good in this verse is towb, and it means "good, pleasant, agreeable, excellent, and valuable in estimation." God is all of those descriptions! When we get that promotion at work, we yell, "God is good!" When our lives are problem-free, we say, "God is goo...

This past year, I did not learn to love Olúgbàlà more by doing more religious activities. I learned by looking inward with honesty. Personal examination became a sacred tool in my prayer life  not to condemn myself, but to come into deeper alignment. Prayer, for me, is no longer performance. It is a space where intimacy is built by truth. When I examine my life before Olódùmarè, I am not trying to impress heaven; I am opening myself to light. This kind of prayer reveals where my life is not aligned with divine order not to shame me, but to invite transformation. Psalm 139 is often reduced to two lines: “Search me” and “know my heart.” But the psalm itself gives a deeper foundation. It does not begin with inspection; it begins with assurance. It establishes that I am already known, already seen, already formed.  That changes everything. Before self-examination begins, there is this truth: nothing about me is hidden from Olódùmarè. My journey did not start today. The Divine Pres...

How Can I Believe What I Have Not Seen? As humans, we trust what we can see, feel, and touch. Our senses are our first teachers. Because of this, faith often looks like a risk like stepping into the unknown with no proof. But true faith is not blind gambling. Faith is a practical certainty born from knowing. Faith becomes risky only when knowledge is shallow. When a person is grounded in the knowledge of Olódùmarè, faith stops being a leap and becomes alignment. Meditation on divine truth is not empty repetition; it is a visit with God, a meeting point between the seen and the unseen. Healing does not come from men. People are only vessels. Power does not belong to the instrument; it belongs to the Source. When healing happens, it is Olódùmarè acting through willing matter. Trust must rest in God alone. Olúgbàlà did not begin in time and will not end in time. He is a channel of divine wisdom, not a replacement for the Source. Faith in God flows through Olúgbàlà as understanding, not as...

  "Adonai" is a Hebrew word that is used as a title of respect and honor for God in Judaism. It is usually translated into English as "Lord" or "Master". In Jewish tradition, the name of God is considered too holy to be spoken or written out in full, so "Adonai" is often used as a substitute . Lyrics
