The success of a true spiritual teacher is never measured by titles, followers, or wealth; it is measured by how deeply their students are growing, healing, and standing firm in their own Ori.
A teacher’s mission is not motivated by money, but by the divine assignment that God, the Orisa, and their ancestors placed upon their heart.
The true teacher does not chase validation; they walk in obedience.
A spiritual teacher is proactive, not reactive.
They move by divine insight, not by rumor or emotion.
They see the unseen, hear the unspoken, and protect the sacred space of their spiritual house.
They are aware, both in the seen and unseen, of what stirs within their community.
A teacher who truly walks with Ori understands that leadership is stewardship.
They are not meant to create dependency, but to awaken remembrance.
Their role is to guide, not to control.
To protect, not to possess.
Favoritism has no place in sacred leadership.
A teacher led by ego chooses favorites; a teacher led by Ori chooses truth.
When a teacher announces who they favor, they plant division where unity should grow.
A true spiritual leader operates as a guardian, shielding their students from unwarranted attacks, both physical and spiritual.
Growth comes through guidance, discipline, and divine timing.
And when Spirit begins to whisper…when your spiritual team signals that it is time to move on…LISTEN.
Honor that voice.
A teacher who truly serves the divine will never block your evolution.
A spiritual teacher’s greatness is reflected not in how many gather around them, but in how many rise and walk in their own light.
May we all be guided by teachers who serve with integrity, and may we each honor our own Ori above all else.
