You are doing great work here. As an African American all I hear is that these traditions are of the devil and yet here we are in the land of the Devil that is USA and these traditions are not present. Please continue to shed light on our original spiritual system.
@@udawyma1682 I don't know much of Esu to make that call, but from what this video states it seems that ESU is someone who rewards you based on your deeds. If you do good you are rewarded with good, you do bad you are rewarded with bad. So in a situation of crisis that you just gave Esu is not the Orisha that you would call upon if the explanation in this video is correct.
@@udawyma1682The carving (according to the traditional religion) is a symbol of the god, to symbolize him visually and serve a a focus of worship (not the god itself). The god himself exists independently of it (and existed before the carving was made). The images are a sort of visual metaphor (and these things are also true historically of most "polytheistic"/"pagan" religions worldwide historically and in the present, where often really the various gods are considered different/various aspects of God).
MAD PROPS TO YOU BRO,was born in UK and live in Uk but parents from Nigeria so lived a portion of my childhood in nigeria,but its amazing how much information and knowledge am picking up from your videos about our true history and culture, its a shame that majority of the masses in that country have no knowledge of their true history and follow western beliefs and ideologies blindly while looking down at ours and not taking the time to fully understand it, that part where you explained about how ESU became the name synonymous for the devil is amazing,I will show my parents this video and get their take on it,but keep up the great work bro
Eshu-Elegba is one of the most powerful orishas as he is the owner of all roads. He rules communication and is all about justice. And a huge sense of humor.
Am Igbo from South of Nigeria.In Igbo Cosmology or believe and all folklore stories we know,theres nothing like satan,there's nothing like heaven or earth after death. We believe in life after death.Born and being reborn.Ilö Üwa.The modern tales of heaven and earth was brought to us by the Christian white church.To make the long story short,am not going to any damm heaven where my Children,parents,good relatives l know,friends,Marcus Garvey and all the good black doods around the world.
@@lionintu Sorry Vic da G,wanted to say if l don't find or see these doods in heaven, I'll walk away to join them wherever they are.Thanks for the observation cause my write up was a bit confusing at the end.
When he said Egbe is your heavenly mate, it's not exactly an ancestor that past away. In Ifa teachings egbe is a mate in Orun (heaven) it can be a friend or a wife or a husband if you are a woman, but these are not people that have incarnated to Aiye (earth) unlike an ancestor that was born into the Earthly world and past away Ifa teaches that everyone has a spiritual double (twin) in heaven and also mate(s) (friends) called Egbe that we made a pact with before our birth into this world. Purpose of one receiving egbe is to make sure those spiritual pacts are honored so that all individuals involved the egbe and you the physical incarnation are mutually satisfied, by them giving you spiritual things you need and by you giving them what they require from this realm. ....By the way i love your vids and appreciate what u do bruh thanks!
Wow that is the response I was looking for. I had a feeling more information would be needed regarding this. I have some Haitian friends who practice vodou and some of them have been told, even my self, in one way or another, that there is a lwa (spirit/deity) that they are to marry whether by the deity, in a dream or during possession, or even from a priest. The marriage then involved what you stated above, offering of gifts often, daily, weekly, etc. Is this the same concept of Egbe, spiritual mate? It sounds the same as your explanation. Thank you again, I've never heard the concept of a spiritual twin until your explanation.
Same thing with igbo translation of satan. Ekwensu an Igbo deity of war has been turned into a western man's devil. In the Igbo spirituality devil does not exist; ekwensu is not you devil or satan.
Great video,thanks. The translation was not a mistake, but that's how white people used to deform the meanings of everything African, persisting in translating it right, could have cost him his life. In the Northern part of Angola there is an enclave named CABINDA, the language or dialect spoken there today is FIOTI, which means inferior, even African chicken are called FIOTI chicken, that's how the Portuguese wanted it,refused to call it Kiyombe dialect, which is the correct form. So, make no mistake, the African God is great,otherwise we would have perished.
The same thing was done to us..Amun..done to the Panini Indians..they were inserted into the Bible as those who killed Jesus. The Bible did not come into existence until eons after humans came into existence.
Not the Orisha/gods who are evil. It’s the Babalawos/Traditional Healers/Spiritualist/etc who use their gift for evil. Assisting people who consult them for evil doing instead of turning them away. Olodumare(God) and Orunmila(prophet) will judge them. Judging them on how they used their gifts to either do good or evil.
We got carried away captive from the land for worshipping idols, serving other gods and dealing in voodoo! Don't come back to the Land(Africa) and return back to the vomit of our ancestors... this is the very thing we did that provoked The Almighty GOD of our fathers to anger and he sent the Heathen against us to carry us away captive! Repent and come back to the Almighty GOD and keep his laws, statues and commandments and live
Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther never made it to the Americas he was recaptured by the British navy and relocated to Freetown , Sierra Leone. Ajayi's mother was a descendant of King Abiodun. While in Sierra Leone Crowther was cared for by the Anglican Church Missionary Society and was taught English. He converted to Christianity. On 11 December 1825 was baptized and he named himself after the vicar of Christ Church, Newgate, London - Samuel Crowther, who was one of the pioneers of the CMS.[1] Ajayi was baptized by John Raban.

Esu is not satan all those names in bible do not have interpretation in Yoruba... they were interpet with their sound jesus=jesu angel=angeli suppose to be irumole but because everything about us always sound evil to us satan=satani joseph=josefu they should change satan to satani in the bible ..why is it only Satan that have interpretation for? all name in bible were interpret with their sound..we should stop deceiving our self
It is mind boggling that a Christian Bible include Esu. There is no Character or Deity named Esu In the Bible. It is so obvious that the intention of "These" people (Christian missionary's or fake priest would conveniently say that a Yoruba Bible translation would equal Satan with Esu. The same tactic was done to a Native American tribe in the late 70's. The Christian missionaries tried scaring The Native American Indian with going to hell. The problem was that the Native Americans don't believe in hell, there is nothing in this tribes language of hell. These missionaries actually went back and wrote a Bible in their Native language the word hell in there hang to scare them into converting to Christianity. Same strategy here.
Have you heard yourself? When the Christian missionaries brainwashed you with the Bible, you had no problems worshipping the numerous statues of white Jesus with a crucifix, I bet? Or adopting the various Christian rituals? You had no problems adopting those practices because they were brought to you by the white man and he must be right!
@@ChosenJudaHiTess_TheShemiTess so we're going to look past military strategy that west placed upon the continent. I assure you it was not due to their military might that we were captive. Africans held off repelled and defeated invading forces from europe. The Portuguese suffered many a defeat. It was not spiritual beliefs that did them in it was the Europeans getting smart and using a countries enemys against them. Benin fell due to help from enemy neighnoring states. Benin repelled many attacks by the europeans until the other Africans helped them. This is repeated all over the continent. The greatest thing that led to our demise was the weakening states fracturing of empires and a lack homogeneous culture caused by a cohesive empire.
East Asia kept its ancestral belief systems (they're certainly not Christian and never were), and they're doing pretty well (e.g. China Japan South Korea, etc.: with, for example, Shintoism, Daoism, Confucianism, native Korean Shamanism, including forms of ancestor and spirit veneration, and other traditions, many also often combined with forms of Buddhism).
Exodus 34:11-17 [11]Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. [12]Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: [13]But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: [14]For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: [15]Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; [16]And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. [17]Thou shalt make thee no molten gods!.
To call an African religious practices idolatry is an insult to our beliefs deeply imbedded into a superficial view of what happened when a large number of people forsake their former religion for a new one. It's very ethnocentric judgement to easily brushed aside ones religion that is even older than Christianity and Islam combined. " it's a commonplace to hear that folk Catholicism is mixed with pagan survival, or that newly converted African Christians are "not real Christians" or have a veneer of Christianity " , because they have not totally abandoned all that they once believed " ( John DY Peel, 1968). We see objectification of both mainstream Christianity and Islam but no one considered them idol worshippers, hence only our African Religion. By the way how can a stranger tell the host their own culture and religion when that stranger does not even understand the host culture? Religion is the most important, and probably the most influence in the life of most Africans, yet it's an essential principles quiet too often unknown to foreigners who make themselves constantly liable to misunderstand the African worldview and beliefs. Almost every beliefs that they in Christianity, has similar beliefs if not better interpretations of that same belief in African Religions.
"Not real Christians". That is lordship fruit inspection and wrong judgement. It corrupts the gospel. www.cleargospel.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/English/English-Display-Pkg-2014.pdf
I think you should be more focused on the fact that this translator could still communicate with our Brother rather than complain about his accent. If you want to connect with us then you must shed the linear non-worldview mentality that America has fed you and be open and completely accepting of us because we have also suffered. Europeans do not find Afrikan accents heavy and that's why they easily infiltrate, unlike Americans who have a problem being objective when it comes to accents. Prince Charles attended High school in Ghana and was taught by Afrikan scholars. All our Brother had to do was pick out and add certain words in the translator's sentence to determine the word 'Heaven'. In fact, he pronounced the word 'Heaven' just like the Cockney do in the UK. Don't forget that we were colonized by the British and have heard English spoken better than the American's do but we put up with your accent, wrong spellings, and strange diction. We have accents in Afrika because we speak many languages/dialects, and have more languages than the rest of the world. I am very proud that after everything we endured at the hand of the Slavedriver, the imperialist and the Colonial master, we retained all our languages and dialects to our own credit because imagine our long lost Brothers and Sisters coming back to a people without culture and spirituality due to the loss of our original tongue.
If one has not repented unto salvation, one cannot understand Almighty God's Word...for it is the Holy Spirit that brings understanding. ESU is an image..."Thou shalt not have any graven images before you.". ESU is a statute, an idol,...an image....its existence is contrary to God's Word, therefore is not of God but is of man...as such, ESU does not have God powers to deliver, repay, bless, or punish! The devil is a liar and rewards (deceives) his own.
Leviticus 26:1-4 [1]Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. [2]Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. [3]If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; [4]Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Bro,advice; am an African by nature,I know everything, please stop touching or bowing to those spirits if you are not committedto serve them.its better to tour and find out what they mean ,dos and donts cz touching them maybe have a side effect if you are not committed toooo
@@proverbalizer yes but I don't read the Bible as fun but take it seriously as a book of history ,present and future events to a specific group of people. You know we have different generosities, so u are Free to do,speak what fits you however sometimes advice can make a difference, thanks
Lol!!! Utter nonsense! “African by nature” what on earth does that mean? I’m an African, there is no harm or danger in touching, handling, exploring any of these things. They are similar to the way Christians use a crucifix or statues of Jesus Christ. It is just an expression of the African traditionalists way of worshipping their Gods. Nothing more, nothing less.
Exodus 20:1-7,22-23 [1]And God spake all these words, saying, [2]I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. [3]Thou shalt have no other gods before me. [4]Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: [5]Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; [6]And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. [7]Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. [22]And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. [23]Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
Leviticus 26:1 [1]Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 4:25-30 [25]When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: [26]I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. [27]And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. [28]And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. [29]But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. [30]When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; Deuteronomy 28:63-66 [63]And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. [64]And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. [65]And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: [66]And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
It would of been dope if a black persons art was displayed instead of an outsider just because she and her husband practiced Orisa spirituality. The depictions of Yeye Osun would have been so much more beautiful and life like... But yes Baba Esu is not the devil. Only if Christians knew Esu name is in their saviors name Jesus(j(ESU)s) and his Cross is also Baba Esu symbol + 😊. Oh and hi Dynast 🤴🏾😌💓💓💓💯
@@Searchforuhuru Whomever did the art is deceived by the great deceiver, lucifer, satan...a spirit cast out of Heaven by the Almighty... whose goal has always been to be higher than the Almighty...whose has again beguiled and used another women (like Eve before) to create an art image that can appear to do the works as the Almighty. ESU is a creation...God is the Creator. The creation cannot supplant the Creator. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve...for we cannot serve Almighty God and also serve esu...a man-made graven image...for we will love one and hate the other...we cannot serve both. "I will look to the hills... from whence cometh my help...my help cometh from the Lord, which made Heaven and Earth!" Unless esu made Heaven and Earth...esu is not Lord...and as such, is not empowered (able) to provide help... that job remains the Lord's! The Lord is whom we look to for help...not esu. The Almighty, alone, is exhalted high above all gods...above all the earth. His is our "Wonderful Counselor!" Neither are the stars nor the diviners are our counselors...for they again are creations... that cannot know more or do more than the Almighty who created them. The Almighty will remain after esu crumbles. Make your election sure...as decisions are long lasting and life changing.
In my point of view Dynast should have his own beliefs we are not here to judges. I'm a Christian but who I'm I to judges, is only God should judges not people so leave him only thanks!!
whats wrong worshipping SATAN his love is real to he that heed his knowledge....most of you will betray GOD before we would betray SATAN .....thats a fact
ESU is exalted above the Lord Jesus Christ...slighting the deity of Jesus Christ who is Immanuel...God with us. The very definition of Satanism is to exalt oneself or any person or object above God. ESU is not satan for is a spirit not an object. ESU is the tangible work of the devil. ESU is a paper mache-clay looking idle that was created...yet created nothing. John 3:16.
Esu is one of the falling angel that God drove away from heaven with Satan,in the beginning.There is no how u can manipulate it evil is evil, u have to repent, otherwise .... Thank God for AJAYI CROWDER, the man God use to give us YORUBA BIBLE, whatever u say about him is of no value.JUST REPENT OOOO. THANKS
To be balanced, why don't you interview authentic Africans who believe esu is satan. Good...impartial interviewers present pros and cons. So far, you have only interviewed someone who believes that esu is not satan. You have not interview one African who believes that esu is satan. Why??????
I really like your show alot bro , I’m from Nigeria but you must becareful how you go very close to these images , there are spirit I mean ugly spirit in these shrines I have see , they are demons I mean real demons in them
You can't convince these AA people, they have no idea what they're messing with the absence of culture is why they're so attracted and obsessed with things like this.

East Asia kept its ancestral belief systems (they're certainly not Christian and never were), and they're doing pretty well (e.g. China Japan South Korea, etc.: with, for example, Shintoism, Daoism, Confucianism, native Korean Shamanism, including forms of ancestor and spirit veneration, and other traditions, many also often combined with forms of Buddhism).
Exodus 34:11-17
[11]Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
[12]Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
[13]But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
[14]For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
[15]Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
[16]And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
[17]Thou shalt make thee no molten gods!.

To call an African religious practices idolatry is an insult to our beliefs deeply imbedded into a superficial view of what happened when a large number of people forsake their former religion for a new one. It's very ethnocentric judgement to easily brushed aside ones religion that is even older than Christianity and Islam combined. " it's a commonplace to hear that folk Catholicism is mixed with pagan survival, or that newly converted African Christians are "not real Christians" or have a veneer of Christianity " , because they have not totally abandoned all that they once believed " ( John DY Peel, 1968). We see objectification of both mainstream Christianity and Islam but no one considered them idol worshippers, hence only our African Religion. By the way how can a stranger tell the host their own culture and religion when that stranger does not even understand the host culture? Religion is the most important, and probably the most influence in the life of most Africans, yet it's an essential principles quiet too often unknown to foreigners who make themselves constantly liable to misunderstand the African worldview and beliefs. Almost every beliefs that they in Christianity, has similar beliefs if not better interpretations of that same belief in African Religions.
"Not real Christians". That is lordship fruit inspection and wrong judgement. It corrupts the gospel.

The Priest dialect is better than the translator’s. Lol. His is so heavy it’s hard to understand what he’s saying.
I think you should be more focused on the fact that this translator could still communicate with our Brother rather than complain about his accent. If you want to connect with us then you must shed the linear non-worldview mentality that America has fed you and be open and completely accepting of us because we have also suffered.
Europeans do not find Afrikan accents heavy and that's why they easily infiltrate, unlike Americans who have a problem being objective when it comes to accents. Prince Charles attended High school in Ghana and was taught by Afrikan scholars.
All our Brother had to do was pick out and add certain words in the translator's sentence to determine the word 'Heaven'. In fact, he pronounced the word 'Heaven' just like the Cockney do in the UK.
Don't forget that we were colonized by the British and have heard English spoken better than the American's do but we put up with your accent, wrong spellings, and strange diction.
We have accents in Afrika because we speak many languages/dialects, and have more languages than the rest of the world. I am very proud that after everything we endured at the hand of the Slavedriver, the imperialist and the Colonial master, we retained all our languages and dialects to our own credit because imagine our long lost Brothers and Sisters coming back to a people without culture and spirituality due to the loss of our original tongue.
If one has not repented unto salvation, one cannot understand Almighty God's Word...for it is the Holy Spirit that brings understanding.
ESU is an image..."Thou shalt not have any graven images before you.". ESU is a statute, an idol,...an image....its existence is contrary to God's Word, therefore is not of God but is of man...as such, ESU does not have God powers to deliver, repay, bless, or punish!
The devil is a liar and rewards (deceives) his own.
Strong comment,however u a a white, but I agree with you
I do not agree with you.
The only way they could know if you accept Christ in your heart....

Good stuff. Like out of a scene from a flick bruh
It would have been good for the priest to have worn African clothes at the shrine.

More like Easu/Edom

Bro,advice; am an African by nature,I know everything, please stop touching or bowing to those spirits if you are not committedto serve them.its better to tour and find out what they mean ,dos and donts cz touching them maybe have a side effect if you are not committed toooo
Only God knows everything.
"I know everything"..., lol is it cause u have read the bible from cover to cover that you now know everything?
@@proverbalizer yes but I don't read the Bible as fun but take it seriously as a book of history ,present and future events to a specific group of people. You know we have different generosities, so u are Free to do,speak what fits you however sometimes advice can make a difference, thanks
Lol!!! Utter nonsense! “African by nature” what on earth does that mean? I’m an African, there is no harm or danger in touching, handling, exploring any of these things. They are similar to the way Christians use a crucifix or statues of Jesus Christ. It is just an expression of the African traditionalists way of worshipping their Gods. Nothing more, nothing less.
Oh boy...
Bro becareful
i'd imagine that a journey like this would cost an arm and a leg.
Wow
The Bible says don't worship an idol, so plz stop your senseless idol believe and get with Jesus!!
Exodus 20:1-7,22-23
[1]And God spake all these words, saying,
[2]I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3]Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
[4]Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
[5]Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
[6]And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
[7]Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
[22]And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
[23]Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

[26]I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
[27]And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
[28]And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
[29]But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

[64]And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
[65]And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

@zanzibar jones love that
It would of been dope if a black persons art was displayed instead of an outsider just because she and her husband practiced Orisa spirituality. The depictions of Yeye Osun would have been so much more beautiful and life like... But yes Baba Esu is not the devil. Only if Christians knew Esu name is in their saviors name Jesus(j(ESU)s) and his Cross is also Baba Esu symbol + 😊. Oh and hi Dynast 🤴🏾😌💓💓💓💯
satin is a deceiver that steals esu from the matchless name of JESUS.
Satan rewards his own.
@@udawyma1682 black people do not want any white people to teach us when it comes to our sprirituality. Thank you!

Esu is not the devil in Abrahamic sense. Esu reveals the evil in you. Esu is the orisha who opens the doors, between worlds
Hello, The lady who is behind the art is loved in Osogbo
@@Searchforuhuru Whomever did the art is deceived by the great deceiver, lucifer, satan...a spirit cast out of Heaven by the Almighty... whose goal has always been to be higher than the Almighty...whose has again beguiled and used another women (like Eve before) to create an art image that can appear to do the works as the Almighty.
ESU is a creation...God is the Creator. The creation cannot supplant the Creator. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve...for we cannot serve Almighty God and also serve esu...a man-made graven image...for we will love one and hate the other...we cannot serve both.
"I will look to the hills... from whence cometh my help...my help cometh from the Lord, which made Heaven and Earth!"
Unless esu made Heaven and Earth...esu is not Lord...and as such, is not empowered (able) to provide help... that job remains the Lord's! The Lord is whom we look to for help...not esu.
The Almighty, alone, is exhalted high above all gods...above all the earth. His is our "Wonderful Counselor!" Neither are the stars nor the diviners are our counselors...for they again are creations... that cannot know more or do more than the Almighty who created them.
The Almighty will remain after esu crumbles.
Make your election sure...as decisions are long lasting and life changing.
Esu. Put J n S u get jesus mmmm who came first
In my point of view Dynast should have his own beliefs we are not here to judges. I'm a Christian but who I'm I to judges, is only God should judges not people so leave him only thanks!!
did I said only my bad I mean alone!!
Thank you Jessica
😍👍👍
whats wrong worshipping SATAN his love is real to he that heed his knowledge....most of you will betray GOD before we would betray SATAN .....thats a fact
A Thousand Demons
then go practice your satanism, has nothing to do with African spirituality
wake up in africa they worship lesser God which are demons ...falling angels
A Thousand Demons
Be quiet. Outright lie
Satan isn’t a spiritual being Satan is a person who embraces all of the negative aspects of life on AYE
You too much broda
ESU is exalted above the Lord Jesus Christ...slighting the deity of Jesus Christ who is Immanuel...God with us.
The very definition of Satanism is to exalt oneself or any person or object above God.
ESU is not satan for is a spirit not an object. ESU is the tangible work of the devil.
ESU is a paper mache-clay looking idle that was created...yet created nothing.
John 3:16.
What do people sacrifice to esu? Money?? I smell a rat! Why is this made your counselor. Is he sitting by esu to collect the sacrifices?
Speak not of what you know nothing about.
No that wrong he meant egbe is not your ancestors is the half of your soul your haveling mate
Esu is nothing in my tribe so don’t use @african@ to globalize
Does everybody in Africa believe in Jesus Christ??
What did white Jesus do for African Americans. Black american are mostly in jail in America in poor community.what is white Jesus is doing for theme.
Capital NO.
Nothing zero my brother
@@hotpepper5037 nothing my brother
You still need Jesus.
Nope.
Did you receive the Holy Spirit? For me, The Holy Spirit He made all the difference and changed me on the inside.
Esu is one of the falling angel that God drove away from heaven with Satan,in the beginning.There is no how u can manipulate it evil is evil, u have to repent, otherwise .... Thank God for AJAYI CROWDER, the man God use to give us YORUBA BIBLE, whatever u say about him is of no value.JUST REPENT OOOO. THANKS
Esu is not a fallen angel and Ajayi Crowther was an agent for the colonialists. His work was to brainwash africans into submitting to white supremacy.
To be balanced, why don't you interview authentic Africans who believe esu is satan.
Good...impartial interviewers present pros and cons. So far, you have only interviewed someone who believes that esu is not satan.
You have not interview one African who believes that esu is satan. Why??????
I really like your show alot bro , I’m from Nigeria but you must becareful how you go very close to these images , there are spirit I mean ugly spirit in these shrines I have see , they are demons I mean real demons in them
You can't convince these AA people, they have no idea what they're messing with the absence of culture is why they're so attracted and obsessed with things like this.
You sound like a sellout that's lost
