MISCONCEPTIONS OF FOREIGN BELIEVERS TOWARDS REPERCUSSIONS IN BLESSING THAT COMES FROM ÒRÌSÀ

Babalawo IFAGBENJO IFAROTIMI JEKAYINFA

"'Òfúnni ládìẹ sìn, gba odidi ẹran pajẹ lọ́wọ́ ẹni làá pe Èṣù, Ògún, Ọbalúayé...'"

The phrase "When the Orisas give you a single blessing, they ask for many in returns" is a perspective often adopted by foreign religionists to criticize or condemn the blessings bestowed by the Orisas. It’s as well to let you run to their foreign gods.

However, it is important to understand that this view stems from a lack of understanding or unfamiliarity with the beliefs and practices surrounding the Orisas.

Ẹni tí yó báni lórin jẹ́, ìgbèkùgbè ni yó gbèé... One who would tarnish one's image always criticizes one in a negative way.

The Orisas are revered as powerful spiritual entities that possess various qualities and govern different aspects of life, such as nature, fertility, love, wisdom, and justice. Devotees believe that by connecting with and appeasing the Orisas, they can receive blessings and favors in their lives.

Contrary to the notion that the Orisas' blessings come with many demands or repercussions, the Oniseses believe that the blessings bestowed by the Orisas are everlasting and come without negative consequences.

The blessings are seen as divine gifts and are perceived as a form of divine love and benevolence. They are not meant to be transactional or contingent upon specific obligations.

Although, the concept of reciprocity is significant in the Yoruba religion.

Which is as well a norm in every religious belief. It is believed that when one receives a blessing from the Orisas, they are expected to express their gratitude and reciprocate by leading a righteous and virtuous life.

This does not imply that the blessings are conditional or that there will be severe consequences for not reciprocating. Instead, it is seen as an opportunity to align oneself with the divine order and to contribute positively to the community and the world.

The blessings from the Orisas are long lasting. Don’t believe their lies, they only say "When the Orisas give you a single blessing, they ask for many in returns" to let you stay away from the Orisas. It's as well to delay your healings.

A lot of you pray everyday to their foreign gods on a problem that just a single Kolanut, Bitter Kola or single Ẹbọ can solve. It’s high time to change their negative sayings or beliefs about the Orisas!

The more you believe the saying, the more you prolong your healings."
