WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE IN THIS WORLD By CHIEF FUNSO OLOWAIYE THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKING FROM ME IN MOST TECHINCAL WAYS.SOME WILL ASKED ME DIRECTLY AS ABOVE, SOME WILL ASKED WHY ARE WE HAVE PROBLEMS RELATING TO SOCIAL LIFE, CHILD BEARING, FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY, SOCIAL UNREST IN ONES LIFE. IT IS HERERBY SURFACE HERE THAT OUR MAIN PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO SERVE NOBODY THAN OLODUMARE [GOD]. AND IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS WHEN ONE BELONG TO ANYOF THE WORLD CHIEF RELIGIONS. BEFORE HE CAN ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD, TALKLESS OF YOU TO ALLOW GODS PURPOSE ON ANY OF ANYOF US..THIS IS WHAT IFA SAYS IN OFUN-OSE THUS AWOKU OMO NIIIBULE SOSIN A LAME CHILD DWELLS HAPPYLY WHERE HE LIES DIA FUN OOSA-NLA OSEREMAGBO THIS WAS THE IFA MESSAGE FOR OBATALA OSEREMAGBO TII TEE ETU BELEDE OMO OLUGBO NIFA WHEN HE WAS GOING TO INITIATE DEER INTO IFA YOO TEE OWASA-GOLOJO TI SOMO OYE OKITI WHEN HE WAS GOING TO INITIATE GIANTRAT INTO IFA YOO TEE ONI-WAKAWAKA TI SOMO ONIBU ILAGBEJI WHEN HE WAS GOING TO INITIATE CROCODILE INTO IFA YOO TEE BABALAWO KEYIN WON HE WILL INITIATED BABALAWO LAST ENI TO LOTI, TEE LOBI E FALAWO WHOEVER HAVE GIN,FOOD,MAY YOU GIVE OUT PART OF IT TO BABALAWO NINU AWO LOPE GBE WA BECAUSE BY DOING THAT,YOU SHALL BE BLESSED ENI TO NIYAN, E LOBE E FUN ALAWO WHOEVER HAVE FOOD,MAY YOU SHARE PART OF IT WITH AWO NINU AWO LOPE GBE WA KNOWING THAT YOU ARE DOING THAT CONCIOUSLY TO IFA FROM THE IFA VERSE ABOVE,WE WILL UNDERSTAND,AND KNOW THAT RELIGION IS NOT THE YARD STICK FOR SOMEONE TO SERVE

OLODUMARE,BUT ONES CONTRIBUTION TO H/HER COMMUNITY,FELLOW HUMANBEING IS THE ULTIMATE FOR ONE TO SERVE OLODUMARE..AND THIS IS CONTRARY TO THE PROTAGONISTS OF THE WORLD RELIGIONS IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD, THAT ONE WILL ENTER THROUGH THEIR OWN RELIGION.BUT SURFICE IT TO SAY HERE THAT BOTH OF THEM USED AND HAS STILL BEEN USING THE OTHER RACES THAT HAS NOT BELONG TO THEIR FAITHS AS INFIDEL NOW LET US EXAMINE ALL THESE TOPICS IN OTHER FOR US TO EXAMINE OUR PURPOSE IN THIS WORLD. ACCCORDING TO IFA ,IFA SAYS WHEN WE ARE COMING TO THIS WORLD,IFA SAYS WE WENT TO OLODUMARE TO SAY WHATEVER WE WANT BEFORE HIM,WHILE WE WERE ON OUR KNEELS, [AKUNLEYAN] ,THEN OLODUMARE THEN ADDS THREE OTHERS INTO OUR REQUEST/S,THESE ARE AKUNLEGBA [ONE WE WERE GIVEN WHILE WE ARE STILL ON OUR KNEELS], THE OTHERS ARE AYANMO[ONE OLODUMARE APORTION TO US] AND ADAYEBA [ONE THAT WE MEET OUR PARENT,COMMUNITY ARE DOING OR SERVING.. LET ME QUICKLY POINT OUT THAT ALL THESE ARE FOR NOTHING,BUT TO SERVE OLODUMARE IN THE WAY HE WANTS US TO SERVE HIM BETTER,AND THE ONLY WAY ONE CAN GET INFORMATION ABOUT ONESELF IS FOR ONE TO BE INITIATED INTO IFA. THIS IS WHAT IFA SAYS INONE OF THE ODU IFA OWORIN- OYEKU A KUNLE A YANDA WE KNELT AND CHOSE OUR DESTINY A DAYE TAN OJU NKAN GBOGBO WA WHILE ON EARTH,WE TEND TO BE IN A HURRY A KII TEDAYAN DESTINY CAN NEVER BE CHANGED AYA FI KI A TUN AYE WA EXCEPT ONE RE-INCARNATE DIFA FUN AWON AGBAGBA IFE THESE WERE THE IFA MESSAGE TO THE ELDERS OF IFE NI JO TI AWON ODO WON FIRUN DUDU KU WHEN THERE YOUTHS DIE AT A PRIME AGE. ORUNMILA TOLD THE ELDERS THAT, NOTHING KILLED THEIR YOUTHS BUT THEIR DESTINY.AND THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO STOP THIS UGLY TREND UNTIL THOSE CONCERED REINCANATE WITH GOOD DESTINY. ANOTHER IFA VERSE IS FROM ODU OTURA-IRETE, WHICH SAYS

WHEN WE ARE COMING INTO THIS WORLD, AS I SAID ABOVE,WE WENT TO OLODUMARE TO ASK FOR MOST THING WE WANT ON OUR KNEEL,.BUT WE TEND TO FORGET ALL OF THEM AS SOON AS WE CROSSED ODO ARO [DYE RIVER TO ODO EJE [BLOOD RIVER] THE ONLY PERSON THAT WAS PRESENT AT THAT TIME WAS ORUNMILATHAT IS THE REASON HE IS BEEN CONSULTED TO INFORM AND REMIND US ALL THAT WE VE SAID AND OLODUMARE REACTION TO IT.;AS WE WILL SEE IN IFA VERSE EJIOGBE THUS, OJO TI OMODE BA PAN TETE IKU OOJO NA NI KI BA OLODUMARE NILE DAFA FUN MATANMI NIJO TII O TORUN BO WAYE MEANING;THE DAY A CHILD CONTEMPLATES TO DIE HE WILL BE CHECKMATED BY OLODUMARE THIS WAS IFA MESSAGE TO MATANMI WHEN HE WAS COMING FORM HEAVEN TO THIS WORLD ALSO,IN SOME OF IFA VERSES,OWONRIN-MEJI AND OTURA MEJI,IFA MAKES US TO KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE CAME TO THIS WORLD WITH OR WITHOUT ANY IRE ,AT ALL.BUT OLODUMARE IN HIS INFFINATE MERCY APORTIONS ,OR MAKE SOME CORRECTIONS INTO THEIR SHALLOW REQUESTS.ONE THING ,I KNOW ABOUT THESE PEOPLE ARE,THEY DO NOT

FOREXAMPLE, SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN APORTIONED TO TRAVELOUT OF DOMAIN TO GET H/HER LIFE PARTNER, BUT CHOOSES TO STAY PUT, WHERE H.SHE IS TO GET H/HER SOULMATE, DOES NOT ALLOW THE WISHES OF OLODUMARE TO FULLFILL ON HIM OR HER. THERE ARE SOME THAT MUST NOT DATE, TALKLESS OF MARRY LIGHTSKINED PERSON, YET, IT IS THIS TYPE OF PERSON .EE OR SHE LOVES .TO MARRY OR DATE.[oturupon-obara] THERE ARE SOME LADIES THAT OLODUMARE ASKED TO MARRY SOMEONE THAT HAS IFA, BUT WHEN THEY ARRIVE INTOTHIS WORLD, THEY JETISSONED OLODUMARE ADVICE, AND FROM THERE COMES THIRE PREDICAMENT, IF NOT A LONG LIFE ONE, INFACT, THIS TYPEOF LADIES ARE SELECTIVE.,BY THIS ATTITUDE,THEY MAY SHORTEN THIRE LIVES[odi-meji] AGAIN, THERE ARE SOME LADIES THAT SUPPOSE TO DWELL IN A POLYGAMOUS HOME,BUT ,OUT OF JELOUSY,JETISSONED OLODUMARE PURPOSE ON THEM, IWORU-MEJI
