A spiritual life is a journey of profound joy, a path that
leads us to connect with the divine and discover a deeper meaning in everything
we do. It is in this spiritual connection that we find the true source of joy,
and as members of the ESOCS (Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Seraphim), we
are committed to seeking this divine connection and experiencing the boundless
joy it brings.
In Romans 7:14, we learn that true joy comes from the spirit. It is not
something that can be found in material possessions or worldly accomplishments.
Instead, it is a joy that springs from the depths of our souls, nourished by
our connection with the spiritual world. In our ESOCS community, we are
dedicated to helping each member strengthen this bond and experience the
limitless joy that flows from it.
A key aspect of our spiritual journey in ESOCS is the emphasis on healing and
finding solutions, as stated in Titus 3:5. We believe that through our
connection with the divine, we can tap into a wellspring of healing energy and
receive guidance and solutions to the challenges we face. In our community, we
support and uplift one another, knowing that the power of the spirit is always
available to bring healing and resolution.
Baba Aladura Elder (Dr) David D. L. Bob-Manuel, our prelate, guides us with wisdom and insight, urging us to
be born into the spirit, as mentioned in 1 Peter 1:3. He understands that this
spiritual rebirth is essential for us to fully embrace the joy and power of a
spiritual life. Through his teachings, we are encouraged to let go of our old
ways and open ourselves to the transformative power of the spirit.
As members of ESOCS, we have first-hand experience of the effectiveness of
prayers offered in faith, as expressed in Hebrews 11:6. We understand that
prayer is not merely a recitation of words, but a heartfelt and authentic
connection with the divine. Through our spiritual awakening, we have witnessed
prayers being answered, miracles occurring, and lives being transformed. It is
through faith that our prayers become powerful tools of manifestation.
True spiritualism begins with confession, as conveyed in Romans 10:9-10. In our
ESOCS community, we recognize the importance of acknowledging our shortcomings
and seeking forgiveness. This act of confession opens the door to deeper
spiritual growth and liberation. It is through the cleansing power of
confession that we can experience true joy and freedom in our spiritual
journey.
Our founder, Saint Moses Orimolade, taught us the significance of living
according to the word of God, as stated in Psalm 119:2. The teachings contained
within the scripture serve as guiding principles for our lives, molding our
character and shaping our actions. It is through the study and application of
these teachings that we align ourselves with the divine will and find solace
and fulfillment in our spiritual path.
The achievements of ESOCS goes beyond human mortal comprehension, as stated in
Philippians 3:10-14. We have witnessed remarkable spiritual transformations and
extraordinary manifestations of divine grace in our community. The power of the
spirit working within us enables us to overcome obstacles, achieve inner
growth, and accomplish feats that surpass our wildest dreams. In ESOCS, we dare
to believe in the impossible because we have experienced the miraculous.
ESOCSIANS walk by the spirit, as Galatians 5:16-17 affirms. We understand that
the path of a spiritual life requires a conscious choice to align ourselves
with the divine will. We strive to embody the qualities inherent in the spirit,
such as love, kindness, and self-control. By walking in the spirit, we free
ourselves from the bondage of worldly desires and find true joy and fulfilment
in the spiritual realm.
Love is the core ingredient of a spiritual life, as mentioned in 1 John 4:7. In
ESOCS, we recognize that love is the driving force behind all our actions. We
cultivate a community of love, acceptance, and support, where each member is
valued and cherished. Love binds us together and propels us on our spiritual
journey, enabling us to experience profound joy and connection with the divine.
ESOCSIANS are a unique group, as stated in Colossians 3:12. We strive to embody
qualities such as compassion, humility, kindness, and patience. We understand
that these attributes are necessary for the cultivation of a spiritual life and
the fostering of harmonious relationships within our community and beyond. Our
uniqueness lies in our commitment to mirroring the divine virtues in all
aspects of our lives.
In Titus 2:12, we find the key instruction for our spiritual journey. We are
encouraged to renounce worldly passions and live self-controlled, upright, and
godly lives in this present age. This instruction serves as a compass, guiding
us on the path of a spiritual life, helping us navigate through the
distractions and temptations that may hinder our connection with the divine.
To desire a spiritual life, our souls must first thirst for it, as expressed in
Psalm 63:1-2. We must have a deep longing and hunger for the divine, a burning
passion to connect with the source of all joy and fulfillment. In ESOCS, we
foster this thirst through spiritual practices, such as prayer, meditation, and
contemplation, which enable us to quench our souls' yearning for the sacred.
ESOCSIANS are taught to walk in the light, as stated in 1 John 1:7. We
understand that true spiritual growth requires us to embrace and embody the
light of truth and righteousness. We strive to live our lives with transparency
and authenticity, allowing the divine light to illuminate our path and guide
our actions. By walking in the light, we dispel darkness and experience the joy
that comes from being aligned with the divine purpose.
In the vibrant and dynamic community of ESOCS, the possession of spiritual
gifts is a matter of great pride. Rooted in the powerful teachings of 1
Corinthians 12:4–6, we can boldly declare that a significant percentage of
ESOCSians are blessed with extraordinary spiritual gifts. These gifts, as
outlined in 1 Corinthians 12:7–11, manifest in various forms, allowing our
members to impact the lives of others in remarkable ways.
Among the numerous spiritual gifts bestowed upon us, the ability to heal
through prayer holds a prominent place. Following the powerful example set in
James 5:15, ESOCSians have unwavering faith in the healing power of prayer.
Consequently, witnesses within our community attest to miraculous recoveries
and the restoration of health in the lives of the sick and afflicted. Acts 14:9
documents instances where the prayers offered by ESOCSians have resulted in the
healing of the lame, and the regaining of sight by the blind, as described in
Acts 19:11–12.
With an indomitable spirit of prophecy and an unparalleled connection with the
divine, ESOCSians are known to receive profound revelations through dreams and
prophetic utterances, in accordance with 1 Corinthians 14:24–25. Our community
sees these gifts as guiding lights, revealing divine messages and providing
spiritual direction to both individuals and the collective body.
Prayer holds a central role in our practices of healing, as we exercise our
faith by praying over water and oil, as prescribed in Ephesians 4:4, 12–16.
This holy practice, rooted in deep conviction, serves as a tangible means of
connecting with the divine and invoking the boundless power of healing.
Our faith, as firmly established in 2 Timothy 4:5, forms the bedrock of our
spiritual journey. We believe in the transformative and life-giving power of
faith, understanding that it has the capacity to move mountains and bring forth
miracles. It is this faith that emboldens us to pursue our spiritual gifts,
unwavering in our commitment to sharing the divine love with those around us.
ESOCSians rely on the sage guidance provided by Ephesians 4:11, which implores
us to embrace our roles as spiritual leaders within the community. It is
through these roles that we cultivate our gifts, honing them to serve our
fellow ESOCSians and all those who seek spiritual enlightenment. This shared
goal unifies our community, creating an environment where spiritual growth and
self-discovery flourish.
The joy of a spiritual life is a gift that awaits anyone who dares to embark on this profound journey. As members of the ESOCS community, we have discovered that true joy flows from our connection with the divine source. Through our spiritual awakening, we have witnessed healing, solutions, miracles, and transformations that defy human comprehension. It is through love, confession, prayer, and the guidance of spiritual leaders that we find the path to this abundant joy. May you too embark on this journey, realizing the fullness of joy that a spiritual life offers .The ESOCS community takes great pride in the possession of spiritual gifts . Drawing from the powerful teachings of 1 Corinthians and various other biblical references, our members have embraced their unique giftings, leading to extraordinary spiritual manifestations. Gifted with the ability to heal the sick, receive divine revelations, and exercise unwavering faith, ESOCSians embody a bold and empowered community. With heartfelt conviction and a commitment to our spiritual journey, we strive to be beacons of light, transforming lives and sharing the divine love of our faith with the world.
