Adherents of the Soul Makers Ministry worldwide all seem to beam in festive excitement, as they gear up to celebrate this year’s edition of the Hearts Day.

In a statement signed by the spiritual leader, High Chief Owolabi Salis, the annual celebration for this year will be held between June 16 and June 19, as traditionally determined by the lunar calendar.

According to Salis, one of the celebrations of The Soul Maker Ministry is the Heart’s Day which is determined by the lunar calendar. This is called “Odun Okan” in Yoruba or “Odun Ibori” or “Odun Ori” or “Odun Ori Ire” or “Odun Alafia Ara”. Different cultures have different names for it. Find out what is the name for it in your native language or culture. Use your native cultural name.

“The Heart’s Day Celebration is determined by the lunar calendar – the sighting of the moon”.

He stated that the Celebration falls around June 16 to June 19, 2024 depending on the appearance of the moon, urging all adherents to keep the dates.

The celebration is meant for all living beings that have a soul and a heart to appreciate their Creator.

“These days coincidentally fall around the time of the Muslim Ram festival but the Heart’s Day Celebration is different from the Muslim Ram festival. The next festival will be minus 11 days in 2025 and so on,” he explained.

“During the festive celebration, you will offer prayers to The Soul Maker, the Almighty Lord of the Universe, to bless your hearts and other organs of your body and for a good head. You should also offer thanksgiving to The Soul Maker, the Creator of the Universe, for physical and spiritual guidance and stability,” he instructed.

“This is the time you pray for a good heart and other organs of the body and pray for a good head.

“The Heart’s Day Celebration is not the same as the Muslim Ram festival even though they fall around the same days. If you are a Muslim and you have money to sacrifice rams, you should buy extra ram for the Heart’s Day Celebration. If you are a Muslim and you cannot afford to buy extra ram, you should use the ram you can afford for the Heart’s Day Celebration because it is more significant and beneficial to you spiritually. If you are not a Muslim and you can afford to buy ram to celebrate the Heart’s Day, that’s fine with your Creator because Heart’s Day is for all and not an Islamic celebration only that it falls on the Ram festival period. Celebrate the Heart’s Day with prayers, good dresses and happy moments.

“If you are a Muslim, celebrating the Heart’s Day is more beneficial and rewarding to you because the Ram festival is idolish in origin.”

According to him, “reliable historical and theological narrative reliably had it that human beings were being slaughtered for sacrifice as was the vogue in the past. However, at a momentous occasion when Abraham was to slaughter his Son (Ismael) a ram dramatically appeared, thus setting the pace in which Muslims everywhere across the earth, celebrate the ram festival. The Christians believe that the son for sacrifice was Isaac. That implies that one of the books between the Quran and Bible is misleading.

“Till date, human beings are slaughtered for crimes in some Arab countries. The Almighty Lord of the Universe could not have asked anyone to sacrifice a human being for him. This is idolish.”

According to a reliable historical account, Abraham came all the way from Iran-Iraq region to settle in Canaan (present day Middle East and Egypt). The name of the father was Tehran, the present day capital of Iran. Human sacrifice was an idolish practice common in many cultures particularly in Indo-Iranian, Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Canaanites (Middle East) cultures in those days, while Child sacrifice was particularly common with Canaanites.

“The child sacrifice was done to please the pagan god Moloch, which was described as a Canaanite deity associated in biblical sources with the practice of child sacrifice. The cult of Moloch is believed to have been practiced by the people of the Levant region as far back as the early Bronze Age.”

He explained that the first mention of the deity Moloch is in the Hebrew Bible when “God” purportedly asked Moses to let the Israelites know that “God” will not tolerate the worship of other deities, naming Moloch in particular. Leviticus 18:21, condemning child sacrifice, teaches “Do not allow any of your children to be offered to Molech.” It is therefore evident that if you celebrate the ram festival, you are an idol worshiper.

“Another evidence of Child sacrifice to idol is worshiping of Ara, known in Greek as Aarras, is a north Arabian tutelary god known from inscriptions in Bosra. The name implies a holy place or an altar, but its Arabic root also means “to dye”. It is implied that many sacrifices (which may include children) were offered to the cult image, staining it with blood.Equated with the Nabataean Dushara who was also worshiped as Dushara-A’ra.

“What should you do on these days? Celebrate with your family and friends and offer a thanksgiving feast, dress well and create happy moments. Say the Heart’s Day and Thanksgiving prayers before and or during feasting. Check www.soulmaker.global for the prayers. Doing so, your Creator will be happy with you and can enrich your Heart and other organs of your body and bless you with a good head. Do not worship stones, woods, idols or human beings.

“Observe what you are worshiping now. Ask yourself, am I worshiping stone, wood, idol or human being? If yes, dump it. Stay away from worshiping stones, idols or human beings. Your creator is against it. Raise your consciousness to your Creator that on these days, you are thanking him for your heart, other organs of your body and for a good head and let the world know you are celebrating Heart’s Day and not worshiping stone, wood, idol or human being. When you do, you will notice an improvement in your spiritual and physical life,” Salis admonished.

The Soul Maker is the Lord of diversity. The Soul Maker Ministry teaching is natural and is meant to recover devotees from stories of men. The teaching is that your creator, The Soul Maker, is the owner of your soul represented by the star, and that soul lives in your heart, and that is what you see in the Start-Heart and Heart-Star symbol. It teaches that when you worship a thing, you are submitting your soul to that thing. It teaches that the only person to worship is the maker and owner of your soul, which in this case is your first root, your creator, the The Soul Maker.

It teaches that if you desire pure blessings, no sinner should lead you to The Soul Maker; imagine somebody leading you in prayers, and that person is a criminal or sinner. It teaches that you can not ask your creator The Soul Maker for pure blessings in the name of mortals because mortals don’t have souls and cannot create one. The mortals have their own problems. Ask him directly. It teaches that you can not bear fruits (blessings) unless you water your roots and that you have 3 roots. First is your creator, who is the owner of your soul. Second are your parents. And third are your ancestors. It teaches that while you pay obeisance to your roots, you can only worship the owner of your soul, which is your first root, The Soul Maker. The Soul Maker ministry teachings are natural and well defined to relocate the human beings on the right path.

Now, let’s come to the earthly religions; they are part of the diverse nature of our planet Earth. They are all worthy of recognition. They all preach for memberships; if you don’t follow my teachings, you will go to hell, and people get scared. But note this: They are all designed from certain ancestral roots and culture. Before you pay obeisance to anything, you have to ask yourself, is it part of your root, if not, you don’t need to pay obeisance to it because it is of no value to you. If you do, your spirit will be harvested for the ancestral root or culture that created it. I hope you get it and you can make a conclusion; the spiritual economy of the ancestral owners improves while the non-owners’ devotee spiritual economy declines. You can observe the planet Earth yourself for evaluation. In The Soul Maker teachings, everyone is an owner and a winner. Water your roots by worshiping your first root, your creator, the owner of your soul, The Soul Maker, and pay obeisance, without worshiping, to your parents ( your second root) and ancestors (your third root). You will be spiritually healthy if you do.

Why you must worship your creator only and not stones, woods or any idols etc
This is our planet Earth. Everything on this planet Earth grows. For a tree to bear fruits, you have to water the roots. If you need spiritual wisdom, you need to water your roots and you do so by paying obeisance to your roots. Whoever disregards his roots will hardly develop.

We all have 3 roots: your creator which is your first root and the owner of your soul, your parents, your second root and your ancestors, your third root. Pay obeisance (spiritual respect) to the 3 roots but you can only worship the Creator, The Soul Maker, because he is the owner of your soul. When you worship anything, you submit your soul to it. You cannot worship your ancestors and parents but pay obeisance by celebrating them and praying for them.

Stop worshiping stones, woods, idols or human beings, because doing so makes you a foolish person before your Creator. If you worship a wood or stone, idol or human being, your soul may be controlled by that wood or stone or idol or human being.

Before you pay obeisance to or worship anything, ask yourself, is he the maker of my soul? Is he any of my roots? If not, dump it otherwise you may be turned to a fool. Don’t be foolish. Think.

“Would you rather choose on these Heart’s Day Celebration to pray to The Soul Maker, the Almighty LordoftheUniverse, to grant blessings to your heart and other organs of your body and to bless you with a good head than worshiping stones, woods, idols or human beings? Be wise. That feasting animals and foods you normally prepare to make sacrifices to idolish practices, you should raise your consciousness that you are going to use them to ask your Creator, the Almighty LordoftheUniverse, The Soul Maker, to bless your heart and other organs of your body and to bless you with a good head. Try it and see what happens to you after. Trust me, you will be spiritually blessed and better off if you do.”

Once again, be wise.

“You also gain blessings by asking others to do the same. You should not only share this message but also preach it to others for greater blessings. When you genuinely preach the path of blessings to others, you gain spiritual freedom. The more you do, the better the blessings.”
