YOUR SUNDAY WITH PROPHET M.K.O. TIBETAN!

Today Sunday October 26th, 2008 Icheoku.com brings to you part two in our new series "YOUR SUNDAY WITH PROPHET M.K.O. TIBETAN"! This man of God writes on whatever subject he deems topical and Icheoku will merely publish same seriatim without any input whatsoever since we are not all that versed in the ways of God to have an opinion. Today, Prophet Marcus Korodele Oluwatomisin writes on "WHAT IS YOUR NAME". Please enjoy his perspectives:

******At birth a child is either male or female and in some cultures the child is given a name after eight (8) days. For example a one time child named Nelson Mandela and another named Martin Luther King Jr. There are some children who came with their names at birth such as twins, triplets and those born at Christmas or other festivals/events. As a child grows, he/she passes through kindergarten, primary, secondary and perhaps tertiary institutions of higher learning. Upon completion of studies, he or she may acquire another insignia such as doctor, lawyer or pilot etc. Subsequently those names and titles may narrow down to either good or bad, capable or incapable; efficient or inefficient etc - See Isaiah 3: 10 - 11.

For example, if a monkey travels abroad in company of a priest as his pet for thirty-two (32) years, upon return, the monkey's ticket will still be tagged "monkey" amidst the tickets of other passengers. In other words, the monkey returns home as monkey no matter the length of time it stayed abroad. Speaking closer home about Nigerians, experience has shown that rushing off to overseas in search of greener pastures and other learning does not always translate to an urbane civilized highly disciplined mind. Sometimes at parties or events those Nigerians abroad arrive very late to the event each claiming "African Time" as the excuse for being late which sometimes may be as late as four hours. Unfortunately these Africans who have been living in the midst of Europeans and Americans refused to learn from them how to keep time and to have meaningful value for time and life. Their original name, third-world countries" continue to follow them wherever they go under the sun like a snail dragging its shell. That is what is in a name!

The final name every person will bear is deceased! Fortunately there is no amount of money one can have to avert this name-tag. See also II Samuel 14:14; Genesis 3:19. At the last hour, the deceased will be named R.I.P. (rest in peace).

Now going back to the two names we started our conversation with - Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., and President Nelson Mandela. The former had a vision that both Americas and African Americans shall live and work together as fellow compatriots adding that he may not live to witness it and he did not live to witness it. The prophesy is nearing full fulfillment with the imminent election of Barack Obama - the first African American to stand real chance at the White-house. The latter stood up squarely against oppression of his people and gave them freedom but lived to see it. Both men were destined by their names for the roles which has immortalized them in history. So while some people by their names are achievers other names suggest mediocrity. So as you struggle thorugh life, doing your best with little return on investment, ask yourself, could it possibly be that your name is the cross which burdens you?
