Grave and Gravity – The Final Battle Jesus Won

 Grave and Gravity – The Final Battle Jesus Won

By Da Effiong Daniel

Introduction

The grave, in every culture, represents the end—the conclusion of man’s strength, purpose, and pursuit. It is the realm where all things fall, the bottomless depth that consumes the living. But behind the physical grave lies a deeper mystery: a spiritual force that constantly pulls everything downward.

This force is gravity—a scientific law, yes—but also a spiritual principle, enforced by territorial deities like Ikpaisong, the earthmothergod. Gravity is more than physics. It is a spiritual sentence upon fallen mankind: You came from the dust, and to dust you shall return.
It is this realm—the grave, gravity, and the gravitational pull of death—that Jesus Christ invaded, conquered, and overcame.

1. Gravity and the Grave: Same Root, Same Spirit

Both gravity and grave share the Latin root “gravis,” meaning weight, heaviness, burden. This is not coincidence. It speaks to a universal spiritual principle: what is of earth must return to earth. Gravity is the force that keeps men grounded, bound to the dust—just like sin binds the soul to death.

But Jesus was not bound. Though He allowed Himself to be buried, He was not claimed by the grave. His resurrection was not just a miracle; it was a complete overthrow of spiritual gravity.

“He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” — Romans 4:25

2. Ikpaisong: The Spiritual Gravitational Pull

In the traditions of the Efik, Ibibio, and Annang, Ikpaisong is more than a deity. It is the invisible power behind the grave, the force that receives sacrifices and returns curses, the custodian of the land’s graves and blood altars. It is the power that tells the minister of God, You cannot rise unless I am settled.

"What goes up must come down," says science.
"Unless I am appeased, you cannot succeed," says Ikpaisong.
"Stay down where I am, or face death," says the grave.

But the gospel is not subject to this force.

“You shall eat men no more… neither bereave your nation anymore.” — Ezekiel 36:14

This was not only a promise to Israel but a prophetic judgment against Ikpaisong—the force that has devoured men, ministries, destinies, and nations.

3. Jesus Faced the Force Head-On

Jesus did not merely die. He descended into the realm of Ikpaisong—the heart of the earth, the domain of the earthmothergod. There, He confronted the forces of spiritual gravity, the principalities who hold the keys of death and hell, and He stripped them of that power.

“He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men.” — Ephesians 4:8
“I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.” — Revelation 1:18

The grave tried to hold Him down. Gravity tried to pull Him back. But Jesus had in Him a power greater than both: the power of resurrection life.

4. The Spiritual Reversal of Gravity

What science calls ascension is natural only with force. Jesus’ ascension was supernatural—a full rejection of the dominion of death and gravity. No one carried Him up. He rose by the Holy Spirit, and He broke the law of the earth: What goes up must come down.

Now, He sends that same Spirit to us—to apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—to break the hold of Ikpaisong over the land. We now have a force greater than gravity inside us.

“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you…” — Romans 8:11

We are not designed to stay down. We are called to rise.

5. The Final Word to the Earthmothergod

At Ikot Nsekong, in 1964, God sent a sign. A man full of the Holy Ghost, Dr. Henry Farrar, stood at the shrine of Ikpaisong and declared in the language of the land:

"Ikpaisong afo akpa" — Ikpaisong, you are dead.

Eyewitnesses say the shrine exploded with a sound like thunder. The priests ran. The land shook. And the stronghold of the earthmothergod began to collapse.

That moment marked a prophetic and apostolic death sentence on Ikpaisong—not just in that village, but across the nations where the grave rules through fear, tradition, and ancestral power.

Conclusion:

Grave and gravity no longer rule. Christ does.

Jesus defeated the grave. He broke the spiritual gravitational pull. He reversed the law that held us down. Now, in the power of the Holy Spirit, we rise above ancestral limitations, above Ikpaisong, and above death itself.

Let every minister, every village, every land, and every church declare with boldness:

"Ikpaisong is dead. The grave has lost its sting. We rise with Christ!"

THE GOSPEL OF THE WOMB:How Annang Women Pioneered Liberation 81 Years Before Missionaries Arrived

THE GOSPEL OF THE WOMB: How Annang Women Pioneered Liberation 81 Years Before Missionaries Arrived AUTHORS Da Effiong Daniel, B.Sc., Founder, African Holy Land Research Initiative Great-Great-Grandson of Anwada Umoette Father of Twins (b. 2012) AFFILIATION African Holy Land Research Initiative Ikot Nsekong Ubon-AbasiIbom, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria Correspondence: daniel4altar@gmail.com | Extended Resources: virgingeneration.blogspot.com ABSTRACT This paper presents a groundbreaking historical and theological re-evaluation that challenges the prevailing narrative crediting Scottish missionary Mary Slessor (1848–1915) with ending twin killings in southeastern Nigeria. Through the framework of testimonial historiography—which privileges indigenous oral history as legitimate counter-archive—we demonstrate that an Annang woman named Anwada Umoette defied the Ikpaisong deity and saved her twins in 1795, eighty-one years before Slessor’s arrival in Calabar. Anwada’s declaration, “I...

A HEAVENLY WARNING FOR THE AFRICAN HOLY LAND: A PROPHETIC VISION OF FIRE AND MERCY

A HEAVENLY WARNING FOR THE AFRICAN HOLY LAND: A PROPHETIC VISION OF FIRE AND MERCY Da Effiong Daniel THE CONFRONTATION IN UYO On September 23rd last year 2025 , after the spiritual declaration against Ikpaisong the Dead God was made in Uyo, a physical manifestation of opposition arose. A woman approached with threats and warnings: “This kind of thing that touched the land of Akwa Ibom must not happen. I will inform the police and government.” While some pleaded with her, the spiritual confirmation was clear: the foundational altar of Akwa Ibom State had been touched. When darkness reacts so fiercely through human agents—through threats of legal and governmental retaliation—it reveals one truth: the spiritual decree had hit its target. The woman represented more than herself; she embodied the protective spirit over that ancient altar, now shaken. THE VISION OF THE AWARD CEREMONY Upon returning, God gave me a dream—a heavenly intelligence report for the people of God. In the vision, ther...
