Gbotija was just a small boy, that saw how his father was killed and wanted to revenge the death of his father, that’s why he came to learn the art of war. He got to the camp and began to protest against injustice.
He does not have charm like Gbogunmi neither can he recite incantation like Ogundiji but he has one thing above of all of them, HE WAS RAISED BY TREES, SO HE WAS A CHILD OF TREES. Therefore, nothing made out of trees can hurt him.
He was nailed in the coffin, for days without food, but the wood protected its child, when the coffin was thrown into the river with him inside, the wood has to give way for its child to escape.
Gbogunmi had already finished him in their duel, he was already defeated on the floor, but the knife with which Gbogunmi wanted to cut his neck had a wooden handle and the wood can’t support anything that will injure its child, so the table turned.
He was a no match for agemo, he can’t even fight it because agemo was not a human being, but the tree took him in at the appropriate time, the tree also destroyed agemo when it needed to do so.
Even when those three emesaries wanted to kill Efunrinto, Ogundiji’s wife, all he did was to instruct the wooden handle of their guns not to cooperate with the metal, and that’s all.
So I say, you may not be spirit filled tongue talking, you may not be a great prayer warrior like many others, but if you have good rapport with God almighty, if he considers you as his child, he will always show up for you at all time, even if he needs to pull down the strongholds like Gbogunmi, and Agemọ
Please note that at every encounter, he knows the name of that particular wood(watch the film again) and invoked its spirit accordingly. For example, when Gbogunmi brought out his knife, he recognized the wooden handle as ọ̀mọ̀, he called it by its name and reminded it of their covenant.
Therefore, you too must know the proper word of God that addresses any of your particular situation, you must remind him of your covenant with God the father, and the wall will fall.
I thank my children for making it possible for me to watch this movie, I learnt a lot from watching it, but this is my greatest lesson.
