In misguided faith, man tries to fly to Jerusalem in improvised wings

his invitation from the Almighty Creator directly. Consequently, at the beginning of every year there are predictions. From two or so predictions in recent past, Professor Wole Soyinka ought to have died twice by now. He is still with us hale and hearty. He was 83 last week. It ought to have occurred to the hearers of seers and modern-day Joseph that were their claim of personal contact with the Creator correct, there should be no conflicts in the various messages from the Creator on the same affairs. For how can the Creator, undeceitful, but true, doublespeak when He tells one that the value of the Naira would bounce back and thus defeat recession, and tells the other that recession will still be with us for a little longer and we should go and pray. No one can personally see the Creator or hear His Voice. Such a human being would perish in the enormity of His power. How many people can survive in the epicenter of an earthquake? How many can stand a bomb blast that is man-made? Who can even survive contact with live natural grid overhead electricity cable? We take cover at the flash of lightning and roar of thunder on a stormy rainy day. Yet we puny human beings claim we can withstand the Countenance of that which manifestly stands above all else, the sparks of whose radiation gave rise to all the worlds! Were the Lord Christ to have come in all His power and glory, the entire universe would have melted under His feet.

Because no one can install Egbin or Kainji Dam in his house to provide him power we have transformers all over the place to step down energy we have been able to tap from radiations of power precipitation streaming down from incomprehensible distances to overwhelm the universe!

The grounds for seeing or receiving messages exist nevertheless. But each seer cannot rise beyond the world homogenous with his inner maturity. Thus, some seers see just beyond their noses, others even the depths. But not many the sublime. Even those who are able to divine just beyond their immediate earthly environment, their works stand grossly in danger of ethereal interference and mangling. In a majority of cases they are approached by degenerate entities in the beyond who find their blood radiations amenable for earthly manifestations. It should be stated that such degenerate disincarnate entities in the beyond are at their best doing what they enjoyed most even while on earth….bringing pain to those who cross their path. A man is no better simply because he has transited to the other world. Even there he must work on himself. And so, we are told development and progress are faster on this earth plane. Such degenerate entities read the form of the seer’s thoughts and validate them giving the seer a wrong impression about his abilities. The unsuspecting seer thus passes such information on genuinely believing same to be correct. There may be other situations in which a light soul wishing to pass useful information on approaches a seer or medium and begins to relay a message. Mid-way, however, he withdraws if a dark soul approaches and takes over the process. The seer or medium unaware of this may still believe that he is still in communication with the original helper.

Some people may say, but an aircraft which is heavier than man flies. Space will not permit me to go into aerodynamic capabilities of an aircraft, as experts are wont to call it. The first thing to notice, however, is the shape of a plane modeled after that of a bird. Can a man assume the shape of a bird in order to fly? There is the heat that engenders flaming temperature, which exerts pressure and in turn force of velocity that provides the thrust for the takeoff through the expulsion of gas. The normal human temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius. An excessive temperature in man to get faintly to the heat of an aircraft is suicidal; it will lead to combustion. Therefore, it is not given to man to fly. Mr. Gwranja could not have received any invitation from the Creator to violate His immutable Law of Gravitation and embark on his suicide mission. It was simply a case of misguided faith thus opening the supposed ways of the Most High to ridicule through his own ignorance.
