The Ooni Of Ife, The Messy Church Involvement, And The Dirty Politics by bee444: 5:16am On Apr 14, 2016
On the Ooni's facebook page is an update of current happenings in his palace. And everyday, there is a visit of a prominent and "powerful man of God" in the palace. Just yesterday, Pastor Adeboye was the latest to visit among many.

The Ooni was a Christian before his coronation. You begin to wonder why I used the word "was"? The seat of Ooni is cultural, traditional and above all, spiritual. It's a seat of the deity.. diabolical in nature and devoid of ultimate submission to the creator.

The Ooni's profess love for Christ is obvious and certainly so. His charisma and willingness to extend love and warmness to everybody is always louded by everyone. But the truth must be told and not be shy away from. The Bible recognises a good king and the joy it brings to the people. But then, the Bible never admonishes any prophet or man of God to deal with a king that worship balal but still professes God.

This is the irony and politic of the modern day Christianity. Every body want to be associated with Ooni, even the ones that hold a high pedigree and discreet of the almighty i.e Adeboye et al. Jesus got closer to those who worship other gods with a view to converting them to the true and holy God. But the Ooni cannot be converted and neither can he turn his back to the gods. He was a Christian for crying out loud. He cannot do both together.

The #1 christian quote of recent time "judge not" does not apply in this context. The Ooni perform rituals every other time to appease the gods. He visit sacret shrines to perform deitical functions and he's a member of the association of witches and wizards.

The Ooni really want to get closer to God, but he cannot achieve that still seating on that throne.. there's only one throne.. Jesus's. Christians and "men of God" running to the Ooni for cheap publicity should desist from such act and focus on the job at hand.

Thank you
