IFA MORNING PRAYER BY BABALAWO OBANIFA

IFA MORNING PRAYER BY BABALAWO OBANIFA

How we start our day is very important, how we start our day determine a lot  of what we will experience that day or other day either physically or spiritually. A good way to start our day is by offering Morning Prayer. Olodumare know the importance of starting our day with morning prayer, hence there are  different ifa scriptural stanza  inundated with  variety of morning prayer that human being can use to seek Olodumare attention, for peace of mind, blessing, protection ,encouragement, victory and so on. Morning prayer  can be  used to achieve the aforementioned purpose in most cases. In this work  Babalawo Obanifa shall make available some of Ifa scriptural stanza that can be used in the morning as important Ifa morning prayer.

One of the important  Odu Ifa that can be recited  in the morning to seek the favor of Olodumare , ifa and all the Orisa  and universal energies to offer us protection ,blessing and all the ire of life is Odu Ifa Irosun Iwori,  . the ifa stanza in this aforementioned Odu that  can be used for morning prayer goes thus:

Ijimuji Obamakin

Irin arinrinajo dowo Olodumare

Oloko lo lo ji lo ru ina tuu tuu

Beeni ko gbodo fi sunn Alagemon je

Dia fun Orunmila

Ti yoo rata bo omo re nitori  Ajogun

Ebo ni woni ki baba o se

Ifa gbebo n be , o rubo

Oju oro ni rata boo omi

Orunmila rata bo mi

Iku po lode

Osibata ni rata bo bi  Odo

Orunmila rata bo mi

Arun po lode

Ata  ni rata boo orule

Orunmila rata bo mi

Ofo po lode

Fila ni rat bo ori

Orunmila rata bo mi

Ajogun ibi po lode

TRANSLATION

I wake up early in the morning

My journey is in the hand of Olodumare

It is the farmer that wake and made a fire with puffing smoke

But he could not use the fire to roast chameleon for consumption

These were Ifa cast for Orunmila

When he was going too serve as a protective umbrella for his children

Because of the Ajogun(malevolence forces)

Baba was advised to offer Ebo

Ifa heard of the Ebo, and complied

Orunmila ,offer  serve as my protective umbrella

Deaths abound out there

Water lettuce act as a protective umbrella for the stream

Orunmila cover me with your proactive umbrella

Death are abound out there

White water Lilly serve as a protective umbrella for the river

Orunmila protect me with your protective umbrella

Diseases are abound out there

It is the roof that serves as a protective umbrella for the house

Orumila serve as my protective umbrella

Losses are abound out there

It is the cap that serve as a protective cover for the head

Orumila  serve as my protective umbrella

Malevolence forces are abound out there

 Another most powerful morning devotion prayer in Ifa and orisa spirituality can be found in Odu Ifa Irete Ogbe. I personally   love this prayer myself because it covers wide range of things from blessing to protection and all good things of life. The prayer goes thus :


Orunmila moni O di kutukutu 
Ifa moni  odi Ajimu
Adabasusu Awo won lode Ajirikin
Difa fun won lode Ajirikin
Eni ti o ji ti o  ri Ikin ma n laje
Adabasusu!
Iwo lawo won lode Ajirikin
Eni ti o ba ji ti o bari  Ikin a ma bi omo
Adabasusu!
Iwo lawo won lode Ajirikin
Eni ti o ba ji ti o ba ri Ikin a ma ri omo, Aya, oko, ara lile ati  ire gbogbo
Adabasusu iwo lawo won lode Ajirikin
MO ji loni MO wo Ikin
OLODUMARE je ji rire gbogbo
Olodumare Oba Ajiki

Oba Ajuwape, modupe lowo re
Iwo lo ji mi dide lori ibunsun loni pelu ayo ati alafia
MO n jade lo loni lati lo se ise ojo mi
Mase je ki n ko ibi lona

Pami mon kuro ninu gbogbo ewu ojo oni ati titi aye

Je ki ni igbadun ati idera ni ojo aye mi gbogbo
Fi emi  isotito ati iferan omo enikeji  si mi lokan aya mi
Je ki abo re daju lori gbogbo isise mi loni ati titi aye

 Ase

Orunmila I said it is early morning

Adabasusu (this name of ancient preist) is the their divining preist in the city of Ajirikin (that is the city where they see sacred palm nut early the morning) .
Cast ifa divination for them in the city of Ajirikin
Any body who wake up in the morning and see Ikin (sacred ifa nut) will alway have money
Adabasusu!
You are their practicing preist in the city of Ajirikin
Any body who wake up in the morning and see Ikin (sacred ifa palm nut) will always get children
Adabasusu!
You are their divining  preist in the city of Ajirikin
who ever wake up in the morning and see Ikin (sacrid palm nut of Ifa) will have, wife, husband, children, sounds health and all the good things of life
Adabasusu!
You are their divining preist in the city of Ajirikin
I  wake up today I am looking at Ikin

Olodumare you are the one who every human wake up to greet
You are the one who maintain the universal balance
You who everybody pay homage to , I  give thanks to you
You are the one who wake me up today from my sleep, with sound health and joy
I am going out today, to embark on my daily activities
Don't let me run into problems
Don't let problem run into my life
Protect me from all the evil of today and forever
Don't let run into litigation and anything that can implicate me
Help me to overcome all my enemies within and outside
All my enemies that I know and the one I don't know
Help me to overcome them
Provide my daily food for me
Provide me with good quality clothes to cover my body
Let me experience enjoyment and comfort all the day of my life
Put inside my heart the spirit to be honest and love my fellow human beings genuinely
Let your protection be certain over all my activities today and for ever ase.

Those who have their hand of Ifa or have been initiated to Ifa can always do this prayer with their Ifa every morning by looking straight at their Ikin with their eye wide open. But this is a general Morning Prayer that any Ifa or Orisa devotee can be adopted to communicate with OLODUMARE every morning whether you are initiated or not.
