Covenant with Christ 78. Later the same day, in the evening, while I was alone in an inner room of my fathers house, I heard a voice (I still regularly hear the same voice until now) telling me to go and bring a short strip of wood. I went out and cut a short length of wood from the first tree I saw. Being a carpenter, I planed it neatly and brought it inside. I was then instructed by the voice to put it down somewhere as He Christ wished to make a covenant with me and I was going to be betrothed as a bride of Christ. I then saw a hand which indicated the sign of the cross. I was instructed to use the cut stem of a leaf (fetched from outside) and purple ink to make the sign of the cross in remembrance of Christ. I was told: THIS IS THE SYMBOL OF THE COVENANT BETWEEN YOU AND ME. I dipped my finger thrice into the ink we used and was then asked to pray for the most wonderful and unfathomable power of the Holy Spirit. I slept late that night because of visits from heavenly visitors talking to me. Heavenly Song of Praise 79. Mawunyon, my elder sisters only child, was directed by the Holy Spirit from his fathers house about a mile away to my house. He arrived singing a song (in an unknown language) which we seem to have forgotten lately: Yah rih gorimah s:l:d:d:d:- Yah rih goriyeh SI:m:m:m:- Ngo yeh d:r:s:-:-:- Yah rih yah, r:m:d:-:-:- at the same time translating it into Egun (a major language of the Republic of Benin). Mi pa oku na Won di pa emi 0 ji re lo Ko soso; in Yoruba, E yin OluWa Enyin omo ogun Asiko Na tide Translated into English, it reads: O Praise ye the Lord All ye heavenly hosts The great hour Is at hand. He sang this song kneeling down. Injunction About Holy Communion in New Church 80. It was also Mawunyon who that same night gave us an injunction that we should not use wine for Holy Communion but rather a mixture of (a) pineapple (b) oranges and (c) coconut milk. He did a lot of work by way of spiritual messages that night. Injunctions About Candleholder 81. Mawunyon it was who gave the injunction that we should worship with seven candles and also took a piece of wood and drew out the shape of the candle holder. In this connection, he also gave us a Powerful song which we seem to have also forgotten lately. Awon agba tan fitila meje Wa gbadura wa, etc.
