ILU AGIDIGBO

MONDAY MORNING MANNA: ILU AGIDIGBO
There's an adage in the Yoruba culture (One of the major Nigerian tribes) about a particular percussion instrument called Ilu Agidigbo.
The popular adage goes thus...(The English interpretation in parenthesis)

Lowe lowe la nlu Ilu Agidigbo
(The Agidigbo drum is beaten proverbially)
Ologbon ni i jo, Omoran ni i mo
(Only the wise dance to it and only the knowledgeble understand it)

God has been proverbially drumming his Ilu Agidigbo since the foundation of the world began but the wise actually began to really dance to it and the knowledgeable began to really understand it's rhythm after the event at Calvary over 2000 years ago when Jesus Christ shed his precious blood for the redemption of humanity. Since that calender changing incident, the wise and the knowledgeable of men and women from different nations and cultures spanning several civilizations have understood and danced to the tune of it's drumming. Some of them danced energetically their whole life till they vacated this earthly dancefloor for the next.

But many not-too-wise individuals (though wise in their own estimation) for various reasons have refused to dance to the beating of God's Ilu Agidigbo. This may be due to 2 reasons, it is either they're not knowledgeable since only the knowledgeable knows the rhythm or they're not wise, since only the wise can dance to it...
The knowledge and the wisdom of this rhythm can be obtained from the word of God (The Bible) especially from the book of John and Romans, the hearer will now thereafter decide for himself whether to dance to it or not.

It was expedient to note that the drumming of God's Ilu Agidigbo is only for a limited time. Very soon, all drumming will come to an end and all dancing feet will be gloriously adorned with beautiful beads.

So friend, why don't you put on the dancing shoes of repentance and dance to God's Ilu Agidigbo of Salvation?

Don't forget, the drumming of God's Ilu Agidigbo will SOON stop!

The Lord is...not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.(2Peter 3:9 KJV)

GOOD MONDAY MORNING! 

P.S:Today's MMM broadcast is dedicated to the memory of believers who having danced to the rhythm of God's drumming, have departed this earthly stage for the heavenly. We'll catch up with you sooner or later!
