Watching this movie made it clearer to me what God told me back in 2010 that destiny is far greater than religion.
So many people are wasting away and living below what God has for them and what destiny holds in stock for them simply because of their loyalty to their religion and zero attention to their destiny.
God did not create anyone based on religion; but everyone, I mean every human being on the earth is created for a purpose and the fulfilment of that is their destiny.
When the purpose is not known, fulfilling destiny becomes impossible. And that is the state many people are in today.
In Seven Doors, Femi Adebayo did not plan to become the King. But by destiny, he was to become the King, and so he became the King by his lovely wife pleading with him to be.
By choice, he was happy being the husband of one wife and being happy with the wife of his youth; but by destiny, he was made to marry Seven Wives. When he declined, evil befell him and he lost his child and nearly lost his wife and marriage too.
By destiny, his loving wife will be his guiding light; watch the movie again, he always wins whenever his wife agrees with him.
Three things you cannot fight and win in life.
- Destiny
This is a thing that must happen to you that contains in the things you must do for you to find fulfilment in life. Without destiny, there is no fulfilment of purpose.
- Family rites
We were warned not to remove the ancient landmarks that our fathers had laid. This was made clear in Proverbs 22:28, “Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set”. Acting against your family traditions is the beginning of your downfalls. Wake up.
- True love
You can win any battle in life if you operate and live life with true love. The King did not only love his first wife and his other wives, but he also loved the community and everyone around him.
Leviticus 19:18: “You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am the LORD”
Matthew 22:37–39, Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.
1 John 4:16: “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him”
The strength and the courage to fight the battle came after he showed true love to his other wives. And in no time, the curse that had been on his family for years suddenly came to an end with the help of the same father that started it all.
Friends, be wise. Stop fighting like one fighting the winds.
I tell people who care that, fasting and praying without God’s instructions, leading and guidance is a waste of effort.
The King tried to appease the god to stop the calamity; nothing worked.
The priest did the same, but nothing worked.
The gods that you called evil because of your religion understand the spiritual principles and how it works. God is a spirit we were told in John 4:24, that God is the Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
The question now is, are you in the spirit to understand spiritual things?
Are you truthful to yourself and your situation?
No god can do anything against God.
Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (the Ọjájá II, Olu of Ilaro who also doubles as the Paramount Ruler of Yewa land, His Royal Highness Oba Kehinde Gbadewole Olugbenle and Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Ghandi Olaoye, and the incoming new Owa Obokun of Ijesha land, Adesuyi Haastrup, the Ex Osun State Deputy Governor were all Pastors and church leader in RCCG before they became Kings.
Do they not all take part in the traditions and ritual rites to become a King in their various towns?
I can boldly tell you that all the things they once preached against are exactly what they are doing now. Making sacrifices to the gods, eating Aseje, taking Gbere in the bodies, eating and drinking all kinds of spiritual concussions just to stay strong and be fit to rule as Kings.
You will die a failure if you keep placing religion above your destiny.
In Hosea 4:6, God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me…”
Lack of knowledge can and will destroy anyone that’s just the fact.
Knowledge is facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, and nothing else can deliver anyone faster than the knowledge he or she possesses.
A larger percentage of us human beings play lots of religion with our lives and toy with our destiny. Some don’t even know what their destiny is.
Ask an average Christian what their destiny is and they will be so glad to tell you that their destiny is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to win souls.
Who sent you?
Preaching the gospel had led so many people into errors that it had led some to God. Winning souls had made some people lead innocent people into the corridors of darkness and total spiritual destruction. Keeping the innocent people in bondage.
Any religious organization you are part of that doesn’t change your thinking, and reasoning and gets you better financially is a spiritual dungeon. Leave before you become a sacrificial lamb.
So many people especially religious people are suffering demonic attacks today because they lack understanding.
In the SEVEN DOORS movies, the King had a dream where someone entered the Palace with heavy loads and claimed that the loads belonged to the King and therefore he should take his load.
The King refused but eventually, he dropped the load and the King woke up from his dream.
In Psalm 55:22 King David said, “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved”.
Another translation says, “Leave all your cares and anxieties at the feet of the Lord, and measureless grace will strengthen you”
“Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders—he’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out. He’ll never let good people topple into ruin.”
Jesus Christ even went on to say in Matthew 11:28 that, “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
This is true but the truth is there is a part you need to play to get off demonic afflictions and burdens. Leaving everything to God is delaying your freedom.
There is no free meal in Free Town. Stop deceiving yourself.
So many people focused on Matthew 11:28 and completely ignored Matthew 11:29-30 which says, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light”.
You don’t have rest by just coming to Jesus, there is a condition to having the rest you so desired in Jesus Christ.
Condition 1: Take the yoke of Jesus Christ upon you,
Condition 2: learn from Jesus Christ
What are the things to learn from Jesus Christ?
Jesus said, “For I am gentle and lowly in heart”. We are to learn gentleness and lowly heart from Him.
So many people in the church have an understanding of what gentle means but not so many people understand what “lowly in heart” means.
Being “lowly in heart” is a phrase often associated with humility, modesty, and a willingness to learn and grow. Here are some key aspects of being lowly in heart:
Characteristics of Being Lowly in Heart

It is after all these had been done that “you will find rest for your souls.”
These are the things Jesus was referring to when He said, “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light”.
If you cannot do all of these then you better carry your burdens all by yourself and that is exactly what so many people have been doing even though they committed to their religions and keeping to the rules and regulations that bind their religions.
Christianity and Islam had over the years categorized all our forefather’s practices, traditions, ways of life and acts of worship as evil. But that is not true.
They condemn our gods and yet, they either steal or buy the same status of the gods from our lands and ship it to their own countries and do the exact thing they brainwashed us not to do.
In Genesis 22:8-13 it was said that “And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
So he said, “Here I am.”
And He said, l“Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.”
Here we read about Abraham making a sacrifice unto God. Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Elijah and several other people in the Bible did the same.
We were told about King Jephthah in the Bible who led the Israelites in the battle against Ammon, when the battle was tense and he was losing ground, in exchange for defeating the Ammonites, he made a vow to sacrifice whatever would come out of the door of his house first. Unfortunately, his only child, his daughter was the first to come out of the house, he immediately regretted the vow, which bound him to sacrifice his daughter to God.
It is fun to read some things but never palatable to experience the same. Reading about Abraham wanting to sacrifice his son Isaac because God said so and King Jephthah sacrificing his daughter to God and God did not stop him from doing so as He did with Abraham sounds fun and the act of obedience to us.
But when we hear of what our forefathers did to keep the family lineage strong and together we blame them and start running away from the family rather than standing our ground and finding a lasting solution to whatever it is.
In the movie, the King who started the whole trouble, who sacrificed his 7 Wives; did not just sacrifice them for nothing. He sacrificed them out of ignorance.
By destiny, he was meant to be a King; but also by destiny, he was meant to die at the age of Fifty.
Please, before you venture into anything in life, try to understand who you are. Knowing yourself will save you from many troubles.
I also want to believe that it was already pre-determined that the King would kill his elder brother to become a King, that he would live for Fifty years in in health and live another One hundred, Twenty years in pain and agony. But to live the additional 120 years to make up for the 170 years his Seven wives must be sacrificed.
To the ordinary mind, these are just numbers. But spiritually, they are codes that are meant to unlock certain things in the realms of the spirit.
The 50 years of good life and the 120 years of pain have meanings.
What are the spiritual meanings of 50?
The number 50 has many spiritual meanings, including:
Biblical numerology: A symbol of freedom, release, and a new cycle. In the Bible, 50 represents joy and the feast of Pentecost, which takes place 50 days after Passover.
Numerology: The number 50 is considered to be the sum of the squares of the numbers 9, 16, and 25, which are constructed on the sacred triangle of Pythagoras. It is also the product of 5 and 10, which are numbers of the pentad and the decade.
Tarot: The number 50 is associated with the fourteenth Arcane of the Tarot, the solar Angel, which is a sign of change, mutation, and metamorphosis.
Angel number: The number 50 is considered to be a powerful angel number that carries divine messages. It is said to be a number of love and success and is associated with embracing change and divine connections.
Transcendence: In Jewish wisdom, the number 50 is considered to be a distinguished number of transcendence.
The total manThe number 50 symbolizes the “total” man.
The universe: The number 50 represents the universe being expressed by individual lives.
Spiritual ascension: The number 50 is considered to be the number of the spiritual ascension to intuition and the number of illumination
What are the spiritual meanings of 120?
The number 120 has multiple spiritual meanings, including:
The power of Christ-King: The number 120 represents the power and glory of the Christ-King.
A force of the cosmic Trinity: The number 120 is associated with one of the forces of the cosmic Trinity.
The Without-Name: In Essenian sacred geometry, 120 represents the cosmic geometry of the Without-Name.
Honesty and integrity: The number 120 can also represent honesty and integrity.
The Ark of the Covenant: In the Bible, the number 120 is associated with the 120 priests who were with Solomon when he brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. The Ark of the Covenant symbolizes God’s Presence.
God’s word: In Genesis 6:3, God says, “My spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh; his days shall be a hundred and twenty years”.
120 is also the smallest positive multiple of six that is not adjacent to a prime number. It is also the first to multiply a perfect number of order three.
What are the spiritual meanings of 170?
Spiritually 170 is a powerful number that symbolizes spiritual awakening, new beginnings, and manifestation.
The King living for 170 years was never a mistake. The longer years he lived made him unlock spiritual awakening, new beginnings, and manifestation in life for the generations after him.
In Romans 8:28 Apostle Paul said, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose”
While the King lived 170 years to unlock spiritual awakening, new beginnings, and manifestation for the generations after him, the new King from his lineage had to step into the same realm to effect the manifestation of the new beginnings that had taken place in the spiritual realm.
Until things are settled in the spiritual realms they cannot manifest in the physical realm.
Let me shock you, if we divide 120 additional years by the 7 wives, what we will get is 17.1429
Let’s read Psalm 17:14
Psalm 17:14, “With Your hand from men, O Lord, from men of the world who have their portion in this life, and whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure”
In one of my articles here titled “The Forces”, I made mention of Sixteen Spirits that govern the earth. In that article, I said, “Sixteen spirits govern the earth and every human being on the earth possesses them and they partially and fully manifest in us all. Let me talk briefly about the partial part of their operations in human beings before I spend time talking about their full functionalities in every human being.
Scientifically, science made us believe that Men have Nine Ribs and Women have Seven Ribs. But in the things of the spirit, these are not Ribs, rather, they are spirits. And they exist in the life of every human being for a purpose. The Nine Spirits in Men signifies strength. In Job 32:8 it was said; “But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.” In 1 Peter 3:7 Apostle Peter said; “Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honour to the wife…” The Nine spirit in man is the strength he needs to live with the woman in his life with understanding. The Seven Spirit in the Woman is the number of days in a week, which is Seven Days.
Here is the play-out. If you treat your wife well on Monday and things work out well for you that day and make more money, and you treat her badly on Tuesday to the point that she is mad and miserable, the chances of things not working out well for you on Tuesday is very high. Her Seven Spirit is to work for you in the spiritual realm each spirit for each day; that was why she was called “helper” in Gen 2:18; “And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” And in Gen 2:21-22, it was said; “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.” If your Wife will not help you spiritually with her spirit, it doesn’t matter how well she is helping you physically, you cannot and you will not prosper. It is not a curse, it is a fact.
The King did not just sacrifice his 7 wives. Neither was the new King from his lineage just told to marry 7 wives for no reason. The 7 wives represent seven days of the week, just as the seven ribs in Women represent seven days of the week. To avert the evil each day, there must be a force at work and how you treat her is what determines how the event of the day will turn out to be.
Religion made us focus so much on the physical attributes of our woman and forget about their spiritual capacities. Jezebel is one woman so many people are quick to condemn in the bible, but check her out so well, she was a woman who stood by her husband both physically and spiritually. She was so strong and protective of her husband to the point that even Elijah with all his anointing ran away because of her. Sir, let me make this clear to you, you have nothing to fear if only you can treat that woman in your life with love, dignity and respect. She’s the only one that can block the enemies from gaining access to your life and finances. But how can she do that when the only thing you know how to do is abuse her and make her feel worthless of herself? You’re the one losing not her.
TAKE HOME
- Nothing, absolutely nothing about your family rites, traditions and beliefs is wrong. Yes, some people in the family must have taken advantage of some things, but nothing in your line was intentionally done to destroy you.
- Not everything can be handled by prayer and fasting. God’s directions are the best way to handle issues.
- Be wise.
Thank you for reading.
