He said, “I want to remind you of a story, many of you know the story: the late Orimolusi of Ijebu-Igbo (that’s the one who died several years ago) by the grace of God was one of my children. Got born again, baptized in the Holy Spirit, and he decreed because where there is the Word of the King, there is power. He said, “no more idol worshipping in this town at least as long as I am king.”
“The Egungun worshipper said, “what’s wrong with him? We’ve been doing this before your father was born not to talk of yourself. We will celebrate.” He said well, we wait and see. Two weeks to the celebration, the high priest of Egungun festival died. Now, you can’t celebrate without the high priest. So, quickly they appointed another high priest. I think 5 days after he got to the stool, he died. They said, “ah ah, we still have 2 weeks.”
He added, “So they appointed another one. Five days or so later, that one died. So they decided, “we still have about a week” and they called on the next fellow, we want to make you high priest. He said, no way. They said, why not? He said, the God of Orimolusi will kill me.”
Finally, he prayed, “I decree today, the God I serve, the God of all gods, the consuming fire will deal with all your enemies! This is a true story, it’s a story you can check that’s why I mentioned names and place.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
