DO YOU NOW BELIEVE THAT I AM HE THE BACKGROUND

DO YOU NOW BELIEVE THAT I AM HE? The Background Preached ON Sunday 10th March, 2024 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena

THE SON OF MAN The LORD God Almighty

Transcribed by Bishop David Mbah

5But now what have I here, says the Lord, seeing that My people have been taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them howl [with joy], says the Lord, and My name continually is blasphemed all day long. 6Therefore My people shall know what My name is and what it means; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks; behold, I AM! 7How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him who brings good tidings, Who publishes peace, Who brings good tidings of good, Who publishes salvation, Who says to Zion, Your God reigns!

Isaiah 52:5-7, AMP

23He said to them, You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world (of this earthly order); I am not of this world. 24That is why I told you that you will die in (under the curse of) your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He [Whom I claim to be–if you do not adhere to, trust in, and rely on Me], you will die in your sins.

John 8:21-24, AMP

 18I am not speaking of and I do not mean all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats My bread with Me has raised up his heel against Me. 19I tell you this now before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may be persuaded and believe that I am He [Who I say I am–the Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah]. 20I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who receives and welcomes and takes into his heart any messenger of Mine receives Me [in just that way]; and he who receives and welcomes and takes Me into his heart receives Him Who sent Me [in that same way].

John 13:17-20

 3To them also He showed Himself alive after His passion (His suffering in the garden and on the cross) by [a series of] many convincing demonstrations [unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs], appearing to them during forty days and talking [to them] about the things of the kingdom of God.

Acts 1:3, AMP

 I am making a proclamation and declaring Myself to you. If you like, take it. If you do not want, do not take it. But do not come to Me to query this and that there, because I am certain that at the end, you will know that I am HE. Selah. Otherwise, I would not have been telling you to believe in Me and you will have eternal life. Reject My Message and you will perish. No second chance there. ……. People were thinking that The Son of Man will be revealed, may be in the air. They never knew that He must be in their midst, unknown to them, hidden to them until He Himself will reveal Him. The Father will reveal Him. And who is His Father? The Father is in Him and He is in the Father. The Father will always reveal He that is in His bosom.

Do you now believe?

Behold the LORD’S Christ Volume 1, Preached on June 05, 2021 at the Household of God Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria by Bishop Chidubem Jonathan, Approved and Authorized by THE SON OF MAN, The Righteous Branch.

  1. Hear Him. Follow Him strictly starting from quote.
  2. “I am sent just for one purpose: To open your eyes of understanding so that your sacrifice can be acceptable unto the true God. You can worship God rightly, not in the old way of following letters that kill, for the letters kill. ……. The Supreme God that created the Heavens and the Earth is in the midst of the Bride. What?
  3. The Supreme God that created the Heavens and the Earth is in the midst of the Bride.
  4. He is not too far from you. He is always with us, constantly with us, watching us, programming our footsteps. He is the one that has taken us to this particular point where we are now. True or false?
  5. I am saying that I am HE. I am saying what? I am saying that I am HE. We are still reading quote. Your unbelief or belief cannot change it. Your disapproval or approval means nothing.
  6. We are not confronting anybody, but everything is on the run. Amen.” Amen! [From the Message, MODERN IDOLATRY [THE INTRODUCTION] – ATTRIBUTES OF GOD OF THE BIBLE; Preached in September 2003; Pg. 69 vs. 17 & Pg. 72 vs. 24 – 25].
  7. How many years ago? 21 years ago. Any consistency in the Message? Any consistency?
  8. Why are people messing themselves up? It is because they do not belong to My Flock. They are trying to force themselves in Me, but it cannot work that way.
  9. If you do not belong to Me, you do not belong to Me. If you belong to Me, you belong to Me. Do you know that? Do you know that? If you belong to this Household of Faith, you know. If you do not belong to this Household of Faith, you know. True or false?
  10. If you are in the Faith of THE SON OF MAN, the Faith that is truth which introduced us to the Almighty God, if you are in it, you know. If you are not in it, you know You came for sight-seeing.
  11. People like you are called watchers. Watchers, spectators, onlookers. To them, everything will appear to be like drama as if we are in Nollywood. The more you look, the less you see.
  12. But if this Faith belongs to you, you are a part of what is taking place there, for there is no “this Faith” without you, and there is no “you” without this Faith. Am I making sense?
  13. If I am a part of God, God is a part of Me. there is no God without Me. There is no Me without God. You must have your own personal revelation o.
  14. 2Sojourning with the Almighty God is the greatest privilege any man can have on earth.
  15. Recognizing Him in the midst of the entire world population can only take Him opening your eyes for you to behold Him.
  16. Please, I am appealing to you. Never say that what you heard from Me in the introduction is enough. Pay strict attention to this particular Message.
  17. I am the One that instructed and inspired it for your own good. I designated it to the Elect. Do not say you have read it before. I agree you read, but you read without understanding.
  18. I bet you, today, you will see another you in the Message. All you heard in the morning, you were hearing them before now. But I believe that today, you saw another you in that exhortation. True or false? Thank you!
  19. That is why we repent every day. We grow in the faith every day. Things that were not clear to us are now clearer.
  20. I did not finish the Scriptures I quoted. Go back there immediately. Saint John’s Gospel Chapter 10 from verse 23. I did not finish it. Somebody read! Use any translation.
  21. John 10:23-39, Complete Jewish Bible. [23]and Yeshua was walking around inside the Temple area, in Shlomo’s Colonnade. [24]So the Judeans surrounded him and said to him, “How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? [the Jews asked] If you are the Messiah, tell us publicly!”
  22. [25]Yeshua answered them, “I have already told you, and you don’t trust me. The works I do in my Father’s name testify on my behalf, [26]but the reason you don’t trust is that you are not included among my sheep.
  23. [27]My sheep listen to my voice, I recognize them, they follow me, [28]and I give them eternal life. They will absolutely never be destroyed, and no one will snatch them from my hands.
  24. [29]My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one can snatch them from the Father’s hands. [30]I and the Father are one.”
  25. [31]Once again the Judeans picked up rocks in order to stone him. [32]Yeshua answered them, “You have seen me do many good deeds that reflect the Father’s power; for which one of these deeds are you stoning me?”
  26. [33]The Judeans replied, “We are not stoning you for any good deed, but for blasphemy… But for what? … for blasphemy — because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God [in Hebrew, Elohim].” In Hebrew, Elohim.
  27. [34]Yeshua answered them, “Isn’t it written in your Torah, ‘I have said, “You people are Elohim’”? … You people are what? Elohim.
  28. [35]If he called ‘elohim’ the people to whom the word of Elohim was addressed (and the Tanakh cannot be broken), [36]then are you telling the one whom the Father set apart as holy and sent into the world, ‘You are committing blasphemy,’ just because I said, ‘I am a son of Elohim’?
  29. [37]“If I am not doing deeds that reflect my Father’s power, don’t trust me. [38]But if I am, then, even if you don’t trust me, trust the deeds; so that you may understand once and for all that the Father is united with me, and I am united with the Father.” [39]One more time they tried to arrest him, but he slipped out of their hands.
  30. John 10:23-38, AMP. 23And Jesus was walking in Solomon’s Porch in the temple area. 24So the Jews surrounded Him and began asking Him, How long are You going to keep us in doubt and suspense? If You are really the Christ (the Messiah), tell us so plainly and openly.
  31. 25Jesus answered them, I have told you so, yet you do not believe Me [you do not trust Me and rely on Me]. The very works that I do by the power of My Father and in My Father’s name bear witness concerning Me [they are My credentials and evidence in support of Me].
  32. 26But you do not believe and trust and rely on Me because you do not belong to My fold [you are no sheep of Mine].
  33. 27The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. 28And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] To all eternity. And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand.
  34. 29My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all [else]; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand. 30I and the Father are One.
  35. 31Again the Jews brought up stones to stone Him. 32Jesus said to them, My Father has enabled Me to do many good deeds. [I have shown many acts of mercy in your presence.] For which of these do you mean to stone Me?
  36. 33The Jews replied, We are not going to stone You for a good act, but for blasphemy, because You, a mere Man, make Yourself [out to be] God.
  37. 34Jesus answered, Is it not written in your Law, I said, You are gods? 35So men are called gods [by the Law], men to whom God’s message came–and the Scripture cannot be set aside or cancelled or broken or annulled—
  38. 36[If that is true] do you say of the One Whom the Father consecrated and dedicated and set apart for Himself and sent into the world, You are blaspheming, because I said, I am the Son of God?
  39. 37If I am not doing the works [performing the deeds] of My Father, then do not believe Me [do not adhere to Me and trust Me and rely on Me]. 38But if I do them, even though you do not believe Me or have faith in Me, [at least] believe the works and have faith in what I do, in order that you may know and understand [clearly] that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father [One with Him].
  40. Behold the LORD’s Christ Volume 1, Pg. 17 vs. 7-8. [Luke 2:25-26, KJV] 7[25]And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 8[26]And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
  41. Before He had seen what? …the Lord’s Christ. Who? …the Lord’s Christ. Note it very well in your Bible. Note it in your Jotter also.
  42. A human being. A man prayed, and the LORD laid it as a burden in his heart that he will not die until he had seen the LORD’s Christ, the LORD’s Messiah, the LORD’s Anointed One. Amen.
  43. I want to summarize what I was handling by going to the Book of John again. A burden is on Me to nail it once and for all. All translations of the Bible this time.
  44. John 16:25-30, Complete Jewish Bible. [25]“I have said these things to you with the help of illustrations; however, a time is coming when I will no longer speak indirectly but will talk about the Father in plain language.
  45. [26]When that day comes, you will ask in my name. I am not telling you that I will pray to the Father on your behalf, [27]for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
  46. [28]“I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and returning to the Father.” [29]The talmidim said to him, “Look, you’re talking plainly right now, you’re not speaking indirectly at all.
  47. [30]Now we know that you know everything, and that you don’t need to have people put their questions into words. This makes us believe that you came from God.”
  48. John 16:25-32, AMP. 25I have told you these things in parables (veiled language, allegories, dark sayings); the hour is now coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I shall tell you about the Father in plain words and openly (without reserve).
  49. 26At that time you will ask (pray) in My Name; and I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf [for it will be unnecessary]. 27For the Father Himself [tenderly] loves you because you have loved Me and have believed that I came out from the Father.
  50. What if you hate Him? If you hate Him Whom the Father has sent, have you not hated God? Reject Him Whom God has sent, you have rejected God Who sent Him. Disbelieve Him, you have disbelieved God. Love Him, you have loved God.
  51. So, He receives everything on the behalf of the Father Who sent Him, Who is also in Him and with Him. Did you get the Message? It was what killed Sapphira and Ananias. They could not see the veiled Christ.
  52. If you refuse to see the veiled Christ, your life is in danger. The life of your entire family is in danger also.
  53. 28I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father. 29His disciples said, Ah, now You are speaking plainly to us and not in parables (veiled language and figures of speech)!
  54. 30Now we know that You are acquainted with everything and have no need to be asked questions. Because of this we believe that you [really] came from God. 31Jesus answered them, Do you now believe? [Do you believe it at last?]
  55. 32But take notice, the hour is coming, and it has arrived, when you will all be dispersed and scattered, every man to his own home,… Are we not in our own homes now? That is the much I want to say.
  56. John 16:25-32, TLB. [25]“I have spoken of these matters very guardedly, but the time will come when this will not be necessary and I will tell you plainly all about the Father.
  57. [26]Then you will present your petitions over my signature! … You do what? … you will present your petitions over my signature! … [Okay!]
  58. …And I won’t need to ask the Father to grant you these requests, [27]for the Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from the Father.
  59. [28]Yes, I came from the Father into the world and will leave the world and return to the Father.” [29]“At last you are speaking plainly,” his disciples said, “and not in riddles. [30]Now we understand that you know everything and don’t need anyone to tell you anything. From this we believe that you came from God.”
  60. [31]“Do you finally believe this?” Jesus asked.
  61. [32]“But the time is coming—in fact, it is here—when you will be scattered, each one returning to his own home, leaving me alone. Yet I will not be alone, for the Father is with me. Amen!
  62. Do you now believe? If there be anything that is left or anything that is still unclear, try earnestly to clear all doubts about the son of man and Who He is through this Message.
  63. I laid this solid foundation to enable you understand what you are going to hear in Behold the LORD’s Christ. Behold the LORD’s Christ Who we are talking about.
  64. Behold the LORD’s Christ compelled Me to lay this solid foundation so that all that will give listening ear to the teaching, Volumes 1 & 2 will have eternal rest in the hollow of God’s hands. That is My desire.
  65. I said this including the reader. If he is reading for us excluding himself, he will be helping us into the Kingdom of Heaven, while he himself will be locked out.
  66. So, if you are reading, read in the spirit and read with perfect understanding. Do not read to impress us or to impress anybody out there. No!

Believe in My Father. You also believe in Me. If you say you believe in My Father and refuse to believe in Me, you have not believed anything. Do you know Who My Father is? I am the One that will introduce you to My Father. How can you see My Father without seeing Me? For My Father is in Me and I am also in Him. I and My Father are One. Have you seen the photograph of the Father that liveth in Apostle Peter Odoemena? Is there any other way the Headstone would have been seen without taking the photograph of Apostle Peter Odoemena? No way! It was Apostle Peter Odoemena’s photograph that was taken. Thus, IN HIM IS THE FATHER REVEALED. There is no other individual whose photograph can be taken and the Father is revealed through him. Never never! For the Lord our God is One. How can you say you believe in the Father and disbelieve the Son?

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST Volume 1, Pg. 18 vs. 9 & 14. 9[40]“And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. (Luke 2:40 KJV)

  1. 14“Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
  2. This was the prayer two elders in our midst made. Number one that disclosed the prayer to us at GTC was late Papa Uwakwe when he revealed from the pulpit the prayer he made right from the time he was in the Assemblies of God. From there to CMS and things like that.
  3. He said that he made a prayer to God that if he will find favour in the sight of God, he would not like to taste of death until he has used his two eyes to see the return of Christ here on earth in the corporal body of a human being.
  4. He said, “From my experiences, from my knowledge of the Scriptures, from what is happening in me, which I believe is Holy Spirit, I am warning all of you who are listening to the Apostle there. Be very careful. We are having dealings with God and not with a man.”
  5. Uko, were you there? Thank you! Sister Victor, you were there also. Thank you! Thank God that I have witnesses here.
  6. He said that this person we are having dealings with is not a human being. This is God in the form of a human being. And he had already declared it before the photograph was taken in 1996.
  7. Then another person who made that prayer died just of recent. An elderly man also. The landlord of the house where Kelechi Uwakwe is living. Elder Ofodile.
  8. Elder Ofodile told Me and others that he made this prayer when he was still in the Sabbath church at Nnobi with the late General Superintendent of that church, Musa. He was a notable elder and a retired Chief Superintendent of Police.
  9. He said he made this solemn prayer to God seeing that he has no child to present and he has nothing in this world, that he would like to stay alive longer than his mates and use his eyes to see Christ return here on earth in a corporal body as a human being.
  10. For he had read much about this in the Eckankar. He read much about it in the Grail Message. And there in the Sabbath church, their superintendent was hammering on it, and they were thinking that their superintendent could be the one.
  11. He said that he is still hopeful that he will meet face to face with Christ in his corporal body among human beings here on earth before God will lay him to rest.
  12. After talking for a very lengthy time, I smiled because he enquired to know who was in his house. He has never seen Me before, and how I managed to come to his house remained a mystery.
  13. Nobody saw Me climbing the staircase that day except those who saw Me when Bro Solomon dropped Me. That is Solomon Odikanwa.
  14. And then, a little discussion ensued. Only two statements I made, he came down from his chair and knelt down. I said, “Papa, go back to your chair.”
  15. He said, “No! I am unworthy. I am unworthy to sit down when you are here. I am not even fit for You to step Your feet into my house. And unfortunately, my wife will not believe my report that I have seen Christ.”
  16. He said, “My LORD, what will I offer You?” I said, “Nothing”. He said, “No! You must take something. At least, a glass of water.” I said, “No! I have come to confirm you and your faith and confirm your soul. Remain here. I will come again.” I left. He struggled to escort Me, but I could not stay.
  17. After some months, events took Me to him again because he had already written us a letter where he was asking questions. He asked to know the type of title with which we address the son of man. He said that he has read Shinto and many other religious books, and he felt that what were written in those books are not adequate enough to address the Man.
  18. By then, he has gone through almost all the great works of THE SON OF MAN, being a highly literate fellow. He had read too many books including the exclusive copy of the GREAT SERMON, Bridal Compendium and every other thing. The whole mysteries.
  19. And that time, we were bundling Messages to him free of charge, which he made his companion. His eyes opened.
  20. That was the end of Sabbath. He made a will. He made a will on how he will be buried. He never knew death was coming until I came to him.
  21. I said, “Papa, good morning and remain blessed. Stay in your sanctified estate. I have come just with one Message. Put your house in order. You are about to go home, for I have found you perfect.”
  22. He said, “What? I am not perfect?” I said, “I have found you perfect. And I have come to tell you that you are going home anytime from now. Put yourself in order.”
  23. He said, “What will I tell my family?” I said, “Tell them that I came. Give Me that Olive oil again, let Me place a seal of ownership on you once and for all.” That I did and I left. The testimonies went rife even among his kinsfolks.
  24. A week after, he came out in the morning, took his bath, took his breakfast and sent for Kelechi Uwakwe [the Apostle] to come, that he has a message he will send through him.
  25. By the time Kelechi could dress up and then come up to meet with the man, he had already slept. And that was the end, leaving no word but a piece of paper that said, “The moment I close my eyes in death, gather me together, get a casket and inter me in less than three hours. Do not bring anybody from Sabbath or from this and that. Bury me. Then when you must have buried me, whatever that please you to do, you begin to do. If you want to kill a cow and kill this and that, that is for you, but gather me and inter me in the grave in front of my house. Do not ever put me in any mortuary or gather people to see my corpse. Let me go home as my LORD declared.”
  26. The wife called people around. They read the whole thing together. She went outside. By the time Kelechi could come back from work, the man had already been buried. Any lesson to learn?
  27. It happened recently when we went to GRA. I told my friend, “Things are no longer the way they use to be. The eyes of the masquerade are no longer in the head. Haa! How are the mighty fallen. You are now on the exiting side of life. Thank God you have done very well by coming downstairs. You see this place where you have come down, begin now to make preparation. Gather yourself. You are a generous man. You are not going back upstairs again.”
  28. He said, “What?” I said, “You are not going back upstairs.” He asked, “Why?” I said, “You are going home. You are going home. I have come here to confirm your soul and to tell you to put your house in order.”
  29. We ate and drank and shared too many funs and things like that. I know he took Me seriously. When he said, “Next year, when we shall see….”, I said, “No no no! Do not go there. You may know today, but you do not know tomorrow. You may know today. You do not know tomorrow.”
  30. He said, “What will happen to us? SON OF MAN, you have come again.” Brethren laughed because he could not comprehend it, for he was hale and hearty, eating his meat and rice and everything, and drank with Me. I entered My vehicle and then left.
  31. There in the vehicle, I told My Brethren, “This is the last time My eyes will behold him.” That happened on the 2nd of January, 2024. By the end of the month, what happened? It was all over.
  32. How did he sleep? Quietly. Quietly, leaving no word to the wife or to anybody. Hence, they are still enquiring of Me to hear the last word and the discussions and so on.
  33. I said, “Actually, he discussed with Me and others. You were there. You heard us.” She said, “I did not hear many things. You know I was cooking.” That is the wife.
  34. I said, “Yes. You were cooking. We were talking and rejoicing, but when you came down with the food, you joined us.” She asked, “Did he know he was dying?” I said yes. She asked again, “But you, did you know?” I said yes. “Did you tell him?” Yes! She was astonished. I said, “It is contained in the records we made.”
  35. Who will speak and it will come to pass? Is it only on matters concerning death? Has he not spoken concerning you at various times concerning life and what life entails, and all of them came to pass? Has it not happened to you? Has it not been happening to others?
  36. What else do you want to see that will help you to say, “Now, I know. I believe. I trust. You are what you told us You are.”
  37. You must have your own personal experience. And that is what we call sustainable experience. If you do not have your own, you are just roaming in the Faith. You are roaming with owners of the Faith.
  38. Who are the owners of the Faith? As many as the LORD our God selected by Himself and presented to His only begotten Son for keeps.
  39. I say, for keeps. For preservation. Is it not the essence of giving them eternal life, making them indestructible in the end? You have passed from death unto life everlasting.
  40. Behold the LORD’S Christ Volume 1, Pg. 20 vs. 15. 15An infant laying helplessly in the hands of the Mother. He exclaimed out of joy, BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST!
  41. 21 vs. 20-22. 20. In addition, according to Britannica.com, “Christ was not originally a name, but a TITLE derived from the Greek word “christos”, which translates the Hebrew term “meshiah” (Messiah), meaning “the anointed one.”
  42. 21This TITLE indicates that Jesus‟ followers believed him to be the anointed son of King David, whom some Jews expected to restore the fortunes of Israel”
  43. 22It means that Christ is SOMEONE OR SOMEBODY (A NORMAL HUMAN BEING) THAT IS ANOINTED, APPOINTED, DESIGNATED, ORDAINED, SET APART FOR A PURPOSE.
  44. But can he be a son of David? Can he be a son of David. You better correct it immediately. Give Me the Scripture. How dare you say it. It is in the Book of saint Luke Chapter 20 from verse 40.
  45. There is no way the Messiah can be a son or the son of David. The Son has corrected that error long ago.
  46. Luke 20:40-47, TLB. [40]And that ended their questions, for they dared ask no more! [41]Then he presented them with a question. …
  47. When they were through with their questions, the LORD now came with His own.
  48. …“Why is it,” he asked, “that Christ, the Messiah, is said to be a descendant of King David? [42-43]For David himself wrote in the book of Psalms: ‘God said to my Lord, the Messiah, “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies beneath your feet.”’
  49. [44]How can the Messiah be both David’s son and David’s God at the same time?”
  50. [45]Then, with the crowds listening, he turned to his disciples and said, [46]“Beware of these experts in religion, for they love to parade in dignified robes and to be bowed to by the people as they walk along the street. And how they love the seats of honour in the synagogues and at religious festivals!
  51. [47]But even while they are praying long prayers with great outward piety, they are planning schemes to cheat widows out of their property. Therefore God’s heaviest sentence awaits these men.”
  52. Luke 20:40-47, Complete Jewish Bible (CJB). [40]For they no longer dared put to him a sh’eilah. [41]But he said to them, “How is it that people say the Messiah is David’s son?”
  53. [42]For David himself says in the book of Psalms, [43]‘Adonai said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.” ’ [44]David thus calls him ‘Lord.’ So how can he be David’s son?”
  54. [45]Within the hearing of all the people, Yeshua said to his talmidim, [46]“Watch out for the kind of Torah-teachers… Teachers of the law. Are they not everywhere?
  55. When I read the Grail Message discussing the Redeemer and the Saviour, I saw the Prophet Abdrushin calling all these Pentecostal and churches we have today “Modern Pharisees” that take delight in fooling the whole masses by teaching things they are ignorant of, claiming to have in-depth knowledge of something and almost everything when they are completely empty in knowledge about such matters.
  56. He said that some will even make dogmatic assertions on matters that are beyond their reach. At the end of it all, they use good grammatical presentations to exploit their listeners, members and associates. Modern Pharisees!
  57. Reference: in the light of truth – The Grail Message by Abdrushin Chapter 88 Paragraph 46 through 47. P46Now from this there could in turn only arise a bridge for hate, for the whole hate of the Darkness against all that is Light. And so they intensified the path of suffering of the Envoy from the Light until it became a Golgotha, and the majority of mankind only too gladly joined in making it more difficult; especially those who imagined that they already knew and were following the path of the Light themselves, as once the Pharisees and Scribes did.
  58. P47All this created a situation in which mankind could prove once more that they would again behave exactly in the same way today as long ago they acted against the Son of God. Only this time in more modern form, a symbolic crucifixion through an attempt at moral murder, which according to the Laws of God is no less punishable than physical murder.
  59. Once you see modern Pharisees, expect modern religion. Do you believe it? Modern religion, is it not modern idolatry? Modern religion, is it not modern idolatry?
  60. Do we have a modern God? We have the Ancient of Days. The Ancient God. He became Man and is still in our midst. And will remain in our midst till the end of the world.
  61. … [46]“Watch out for the kind of Torah-teachers that like to walk around in robes and be greeted deferentially in the marketplaces, the kind that like to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets, [47]the kind that swallow up widows’ houses while making a show of davvening at great length. Their punishment will be all the worse!”
  62. Luke 20:40-47, AMP. 40For they did not dare to question Him further. 41But He asked them, How can people say that the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is David’s Son?
  63. 42For David himself says in [the] Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand 43Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet. 44So David calls Him Lord; how then is He his Son?
  64. 45And with all the people listening, He said to His disciples, 46Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes and love to be saluted [with honor] in places where people congregate and love the front and best seats in the synagogues and places of distinction at feasts;
  65. 47Who make away with and devour widows’ houses, and [to cover it up] with pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation (the heavier sentence, the severer punishment).

I am for salvation to all the ends of the earth in this generation. That is why I promise you nothing but salvation which is eternal life. Just follow Me. Finish! Follow Me, I will empty all of you that believe in Me into paradise. There is no mistake about it. Let Me tell you something. Anywhere I have stepped My feet, even the worst man in that community has always acknowledged in his heart that a strange man has come, a paradox, a man whose ways you can never predict. You do not know whether HE, Apostle Peter Odoemena (Blessed be to His Holy Name), is a heathen or a pagan. You do not know whether He is a criminal. You do not know whether He is a fine gentle man. You cannot place Him anywhere. Thus whatever you think He is, that is what He is to you……

THE HAVOC OF INHERITED RELIGION

BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST Volume 1, Pg. 22 vs. 23-24. 23THUS, THE LORD’S CHRIST IS THE PERSON, SOMEONE OR SOMEBODY (A HUMAN BEING) WHOM GOD HIMSELF CONSECRATED AND SET APART AS AN INSTRUMENT OR CHANNEL IN, WITH AND THROUGH WHOM HE, THE ALMIGHTY, HIMSELF CAN CARRY OUT A SPECIAL, DEFINITE, SPECIFIC, PROMISED, AWAITED DIVINE TASK(S) OR ASSIGNMENT(S) DURING THE PERSON‟S LIFETIME HERE ON EARTH.

  1. 24For instance, if you want to cook with cooking gas you have to trap it in a container, we call it gas cylinder or tank from where it will be piped to the required point. Is it a lie Brethren?
  2. 24 vs. 29. 29. More so, no matter the quantity of gas in it or the size of the vessel, the gas takes exact shape of the vessel. When the vessel is without any content you can identify it as just a cylinder but immediately it is filled and you are asked, “What are your carrying? You can just say: it is gas. The content now defines the entire system. What? The content now defines the entire system.
  3. Pg 28 vs. 43. 43Anybody worshipping any God whose name he does not know is merely presumptuous or superstitious and this is the root of idolatry. Sure!!!
  4. 44In other words, you worship what you do not know,… Imaginary God. And that is why they do not know where heaven is, blindly referring to God as One that dwells in “heaven above”, pointing upwards to an imagined location beyond the sky
  5. Brethren, if a lie stays for one million years, is it not still a lie? With time, I will show you what inherited or acquired religion has plunged many people into.
  6. I will show you clearly why people are having difficulties in believing the truth. It is because they have lived for too long in lies and with lies. Am I making sense?
  7. 44In other words, you worship what you do not know, as Jesus told the Samaritan woman, and your worship cannot be acceptable.
  8. They say that the pope represents Jesus. Is it not the meaning of vicar? And that he is the one sitting on the seat of Peter. Is it not the pope? After God, comes the pope. There is no problem.
  9. But the son of man has rendered him powerless and useless with the Word of His mouth, which is the Sword of the Spirit.
  10. Look around. You cannot see our Sister that fellowships with us from time to time—Florence. She is dancing the music of the Faith of Christ because we enjoined her to make her Faith public, “Declare it! Go and buy a copy of the Bible”, and she obeyed.
  11. For some time now, she has been visiting. She gathered Scriptures as we gave to her with the instruction, “Publish your Faith before your father and your mother who are arch Roman Catholics—fanatical Catholics.”
  12. She girded up her loins and then opened up the matter. The mother closed her ears with her fingers. The father looked at her from head to toe and said that she has gone crazy and that they are no longer comfortable with that thing [place] she was going which she is calling church, and that it is a cult.
  13. They banned her from cooking and banned her from saluting them. They do not exchange greetings. She cannot touch anything they will eat. Can you imagine? They are not even prepared to listen to anything from the Bible.
  14. I am telling you that if you have really believed this Faith, you must have your own definite experience.
  15. She was crying yesterday, and I said, “Go to Amarachi. Talk with Amarachi.” The father said she must go and bring Me and that I will be the only one that can come and explain to them. She said, “No, the Pastor will come.” They said, “No, we do not need Pastor. We need that Man.”
  16. They do not really need that Man. They just want to tell Me their stand that they are Catholics and no other religion will enter their family but catholic.
  17. Can you imagine? In this modern day? They did not say we are Christ’s. They are not prepared to listen to anything contrary to that inherited and acquired religion—opium. I will show you the havoc that inherited religion is causing many today.
  18. Remember that religion is an accident of birth. Do you know that? But to Christ, worshipping Christ and identifying with Christ, there is no accident there. It is preplanned by God and predestinated to time.
  19. Everything happening around every true Seed of God was preplanned. Have you not heard it? Have you not read it? Is there any accident before God?
  20. God predesigned it, monitored it, followed it and brought it into focus at His own appointed time. It is not by accident. It is not by human design. Where you are born and who happens to be your parents are immaterial.
  21. You might be in the Catholic or Odozi obodo or anything at all. That is where they delivered you, but you are of another egg. Did you get the Message? You are of another specie. You do not belong to that place.
  22. So, no matter where you were born, if you belong to God, He will go there and fetch you. He knows how to bring you in. He knows how to fetch you. He can use anything.
  23. REFERENCE: GOD HAS COUNTED ME WORTHY, PUTTING ME INTO THIS MINISTRY, Preached on Sunday 13th August, 2000 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 109 vs. 6 – 7. 6I believe with all my heart that I know those I have chosen, and those I have chosen, they know that they have been chosen by Me.
  24. You did not choose Me for one day, I chose you. Even if you were asked to choose Me, you would have rejected Me. Many of you were even running away from Me.
  25. 7I was hunting you from place to place, even using hardship to make you stop somewhere. Even using sickness to make you stop somewhere, for if you fail to stop, you will fly away beyond my reach. Hence, you have to stop somewhere, while you will be running around it, I will meet you there.
  26. I was talking this morning concerning your sister in-law, this small girl who knew not the sister. She knew not who you are, have not seen any of you and you never knew her.
  27. You have never seen that girl. She has never come to this side of Nigeria. She does not know the road that leads to even Anam. She even came from another state across the sea and arrived at Abraka, only armed with handset and a number she will call.
  28. But on getting to Abraka Park, the phone went off. The phone flattened, for the battery died.
  29. If you happen to find yourself in such a situation, what will you do? You find yourself in a motor Park and you are going to a place you do not know to meet with a people you have never seen before. You do not even know where the exact place could be. Is it not a wonder?
  30. Lo and behold, where she was, she was not crying, and a vehicle pulled over. A vehicle she has not even seen before with a number she knew not. The vehicle pulled over and then halted.
  31. She saw the vehicle and the driver saw her. She came straight to the vehicle and was asked to go in and she entered, not knowing where she was heading to. Did you get the Message? Look at the girl.
  32. You see what God does? What if that person who pulled over that vehicle happened to be a kidnapper? She will not know. Where she was being taken to, she did not know, but by faith, she entered.
  33. You see that this Faith is not of your own. It is a part of the grace of God.
  34. When she got to the place and came down, they entered the house she has never entered before and began to look at the sister and the children. She felt at home with them. Why?
  35. They are of the same specie. There is no suspicion that they could harm her. She ate their food, drank slept in the house and became one with them. Have you heard it? Are you understanding what I am saying at all? So it is with God and His children.
  36. Is she a stranger in that house? Is she feeling as a stranger? Who told her that these people are her own relations and her own family members?
  37. How was she able to know when she arrived at the right destination? How did she know that the vehicle that pulled over was the vehicle she was expecting? Are you understanding anything at all?
  38. One who kidnaps a girl of this age, has the person not captured a reasonable human being? Even if she is kidnapped, will she know? Does she know where she is going? Is she shouting?
  1. Have you wondered what happened when the LORD’s Christ met people on the way and they followed without asking, “Where are you leading us to?”
  2. Can you not liken it to the followership of this girl. Enter motor, and she entered without asking, “Who are you? Where are you taking me to?”
  3. BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST Volume 1, 31 Nugget. I am the lord; I changeth not saith the lord God Almighty. For that reason, you children of Jacob are not consumed. You children of Israel.
  4. When I say Jacob, I mean Israel. When I say Israel, I mean God’s favourites, whether they are relocated in the middle east or in the north east or south east or south south. Wherever they are found, they have no other name than Israel. [I AM THE LORD, I CHANGETH NOT Preached on 7th February, 2002 Pg. 30 vs. 21]
  5. BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST Volume 1, Pg. 52 vs. 8-10. 8Behold, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple;
  6. 9the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts. [Malachi 3:1 AMP].
  7. 10Thus, no other person came but the Lord Himself hiding in that infant, body, vessel or container called Jesus Who was just 40-days old.
  8. But the One that came was not the one the people were waiting for. He was not the one they desired, for there was nothing in Him that could make anybody want to desire Him.
  9. They were looking for one who will deliver them from the Roman bondage, but this One came to talk about another thing altogether, a strange thing. So, to follow Him became very difficult.
  10. That is why they said, “We are sure and certain that the Messiah will come, but not this one. Not this One! For once a Messiah will come, nobody will know where He is coming from. He could be from anywhere.
  11. But this one, we know Him. We know His father, His mother, and even His relations. We know where he is living. We know His workshop. He is a carpenter. No no no! This is not the one we are looking for. Besides, this one is a mere boy. How can He deliver us from the hands of the Romans? To crown it all, hear Him say that His Kingdom is not of this world. Why then is He here? Abeg! Make una pack. Another one is coming.”
  12. I hope you are not in this category. The son of man– the real son of man may not be the one you are looking for or the one you are desiring. You may be looking for the one who will pull the crowd. But that one who will pull the crowd is not the Living son of man.
  13. When you see any pulling the crowd, the Living son of man is not there. Know that you are fellowshipping with carrion vultures. VULTURES! You are not fellowshipping with that one.
  14. Do not worry. Yesterday, our eyes opened more and more through the Grail Message.
  15. I educated Elijoe’s son yesterday. In short, from that yesterday, he has been very happy. He is overjoyed.
  16. He saw what inherited religion, acquired religion, acquired habits, inherited family habits has done to him, for it has already plunged him into serious problem which he cannot solve unless God will come his way.
  17. So it was with all of us. There is nobody who followed his family tradition without being plunged into trouble he cannot solve.
  18. Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu: Even Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, when she was being interviewed, she expressed her disappointments, her chagrin and her reservations over the possibility of that son, Jesus Christ, being the King as was prophesied.
  19. She said, “Look at how He walks about barefooted. If he should be a King, by now, he should be associating with kings.”
  20. He should be associating Himself with prominent people, reasonable people. He does not care about the way He dresses. Sometimes, he is bare-bodied with barefoot.
  21. Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu: It is contained on the archaeological parchment.
  22. I have read it. “He is moving with every kind of persons. Look at the class of people He is moving with. Classless human beings are His delight. How can He be king over us? Please search for him in the house of his friends. Go to the house of Mary Magdalene. Go to the house of Martha and Lazarus. When you get there and see people gathered and looking at Him, he is the one.”
  23. The enquirers asked, “But how do we know Him?” Mary, His mother answered, “Look at me very well. He resembles me. He is always quiet. If you see Him, He is quiet and sober. He is very weak in appearance, but very strong o. If he wants to talk about the Kingdom of Heaven, He will talk from morning till morning, but if you raise any other issue, political matters and so on, He will become quiet. He may even sleep.”
  24. She said, “He does not show interest in the affairs of this world, not to talk of becoming a King.”
  25. REFERENCE: Archaeological Writings of the Sanhedrin and Talmuds of the Jews: Chapter V., Gamaliel’s Interview with Joseph and Mary, and Others concerning Jesus. (1) ….. So I married Mary, thinking that if what the angel had told us was true, it would be greatly to our advantage; but I am fearful we are mistaken. Jesus seems to take no interest in us, nor anything else much. I call him lazy and I don’t think he will ever amount to much, much less be a king. If he does, he must do a great deal better than he has been doing.
  26. (2) …… I asked her if he had any worldly aspirations after money or wealth, or a great name, or did he delight in fine dress, like the most of youngsters. She said that was one thing that vexed her, he seemed to take no care of his person; he did not care whether he was dressed or not, or whether the family got along well or ill; it was all alike to him. She said she talked to him about it, and he would look at her a little grieved and say, Woman, (for such he always called me), you don’t know who I am.’ Indeed, she said he takes so little interest in the things of the world and the great questions of the day, they were beginning to despair of him ever amounting to much much less be a king, as the angel said he would be; if so, he would have to act very different from what he was acting at that time.
  27. (3) …… ‘When I see how the people like to be with him, and ask him questions, and seem to take such delight with his answers, — both men and women, — it almost, vexes me. They say there is a young woman in Bethany whom he intends to marry; but unless he changes his course very much he will never be qualified to have a family. But I don’t believe the report. He never seems to me to care anything about women when he is in my presence.’ …..
  28. (4) …… ”Thus it seems that Joseph and Mary have both lost all confidence in his becoming anything. They seem to think that the Sanhedrin should do something for him to get him out and let him show himself to the people. ……
  29. (5) ……. He is not a great talker, unless there is something brought up about heaven and divine things, and his tongue moves glibly and his eye lights up with a peculiar brilliancy; though there is one peculiarity about Jesus: he never argues a question; he never disputes. He will commence and state facts, and they are on such a solid basis that nobody will have the boldness to dispute with him. ….
  30. (6) …… If ever you meet him you will know him. While he is nothing but a man, there is something about him that distinguishes him from every other man. He is the picture of his mother, only he has not her smooth round face. ….

Then who is that person that has declared former things and they came to pass and has told you things that will come in the future and they came to pass also? It must be God. Who is the person that will tell you the thoughts of your heart? God! Who is that silent listener to every conversation, even in the bedroom? God! However, for one reason will He just wave you and go, lest you will exalt Him more than what He is, because there is a realm He will go, He will no longer be known to human beings. Do you know that there is a nature I will put on, all of you will be scared? I am telling you the truth. If I put on the nature that was fully in Me in Amazu Oil, what happened there will happen again.

DROP ALL PRECONCEIVED IDEAS ABOUT THE FAITH OF THE SON OF MAN

BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST Volume 1, Pg. 52 vs. 8-11. 8Behold, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple;

  1. 9the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts. [Malachi 3:1, AMP]
  2. 10Thus, no other person came but the Lord Himself hiding in that infant, body, vessel or container called Jesus Who was just 40-day old.
  3. 11The container (body) is young, but the Content is Ancient. … true or false? But now, the Container and the Content are ancient. No difference! … A container is nothing but the packaging item designed to convey its content to the desired recipient.
  4. 54 vs. 14 & 16. 14And the Lord (Messiah) whom you are seeking, the One Whom they have sought all their lives appeared, but they failed to recognize Him. Sure!!!
  5. 16A messenger is one who bears a message or runs an errand: such as forerunner, herald. This is why Paul in Hebrews says that Jesus went in first as a forerunner. …
  6. Our forerunner! Forerunning who? THE SON OF MAN. Did He say so? Did He say so? He said, “When the son of man shall come….” He came to announce the coming of the Kingdom.
  7. 55 vs. 18-19. 18Remember, He must come according to Scriptures. [Yes!] It must be according to Time. [Sure!] It must be according to Prophecy and His mission or commission, Specific.
  8. 19If it was not foretold, promised or prophesied, you do not expect it, for God can do nothing without first of all declaring it to His servants the Prophet. True or false?
  9. The LORD our God will do nothing without first of all foretelling it through the Prophet.
  10. Tell me any of these general superintendents whose coming to establish His own church was foretold. It is a matter of mustering money from bank or from friends and then, buy land, buy band, gather the sisters and recruit singers.
  11. 83 vs. 43-44. 43We are coming to something please follow me patiently as we look at the same Book [the first book of adam and eve] Chapter 3:1-6.
  12. 44[1]God said to Adam, “I have ordained on this earth days and years, and you and your descendants shall live and walk in them, until the days and years are fulfilled; when I shall send the Word that created you, and against which you have transgressed, the Word that made you come out of the Garden, and that raised you when you were fallen.
  13. So it is in the Grail Message. So it is in the grail Message.
  14. 84 vs. 47. 47. I have ordained on this earth days and years, and you and your descendants shall live and walk in them, until the days and years are fulfilled; when I shall send the word that created you, and against which you have transgressed, the word that made you come out of the Garden, and that raised you when you were fallen. The same w-o-r-d.
  15. In the beginning was the WORD. The WORD was with God. And the WORD was God.
  16. 85 vs. 49-50. 49[2]YES, THE WORD THAT WILL AGAIN SAVE YOU WHEN THE FIVE AND A HALF DAYS ARE FULFILLED.” Halleluiah! So, there is a set time that must be fulfilled.
  17. After 5,500 years are gone. But I have one where the LORD pointed 7,000 years. 7,000 years in the TESTAMENT OF ABRAHAM.
  18. Adam and Abraham, which one is the senior. Adam. Was Abraham God’s friend? Was God the One that came and carried Him?
  19. 50He says five days and half. Five days and half is the sixth day, is it not? In fact, it is ending of the sixth day. Then the next is the seven thousand.
  20. 51the sixth day has already gone half. … So, it is heading to seven. That is the time allotted to Adam before his redemption and restoration to Paradise.
  21. 86 vs. 54-55. 54Adam was thinking there would be only five and a half literal days of twenty-four hours as we know it for him until the end of the world. Did God use the thinking of Adam?
  22. 55[5]And Adam cried, and prayed to God to explain it to him. 6THEN GOD IN HIS MERCY FOR ADAM WHO WAS MADE AFTER HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS, EXPLAINED TO HIM, THAT THESE WERE 5,000 AND 500 YEARS; AND HOW ONE WOULD THEN COME AND SAVE HIM AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
  23. How One would then come and save him and his descendants. Not Two. And God is one.
  24. References: [1] Surah 2:163, Yusuf Ali Translation. And your Allah is One Allah. There is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
  25. [2] Deuteronomy 6:4, KJV. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.
  26. 90 Nugget. It is the Spirit of Christ in you that transforms the Message into a quickening power, a sustaining power because without the Spirit of Christ, nothing sustains a child of God. Sure!!! The Spirit of Christ is the identity of every Seed of God but when the Spirit of Christ is not found in you, you are an empty barrel. [EVERY TRUE SEED OF GOD POSSESSES THE SPIRIT OF GOD Preached on Sunday, 26th July 2020 Pg. 20 vs. 8]
  27. 93 vs. 6-10. 6And hope to the end. Everything still pointing to the end, FOR THE GRACE THAT IS TO BE BROUGHT UNTO YOU AT THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. 7The Grace that is to be brought, future event at the revelation of Jesus Christ at the end. So it was still hidden to them. When Jesus Christ was to be revealed again
  28. 8But we are at the end now that is why we are hearing what we are hearing today. What a privilege!
  29. 9Jesus said, 16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 10[17]For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. [Matthew 13:16-17]
  30. Let us face facts. Is this faith of the son of man not the prophesied Faith that will be here in the end time and will be completely away from all. Is it not this Faith?
  31. In all the churches you attended or in all religious organizations you attended, was there anywhere you heard what you are hearing in this Faith?
  32. Was there anybody you met who said he went to Bible College or university that ever read the Books we are reading here? Ancient manuscripts! All to get you convinced that what God said He will do is what He is doing.
  33. You see why you are having problems. You are muddling things up. You are comparing this Faith with the ones you knew in time past.
  34. And you were told in the beginning that you should drop all preconceived ideas of whatever you think God is or God will likely be, for this is an entirely new move to introduce the new and living way – Heaven made possible.
  35. But He will fall back on the things you knew to declare to you things you knew not. Be liberally minded and flexible to enable you move from the known to the unknown, for it has always been a fact and a fight in every dispensation to move people away from what they knew to what they knew not and from one dispensation to another dispensation. It has never been easy.
  36. And beware of the fanaticism that accompanies every new revival. It creates a euphoria around the people, making them to have an air of importance over others. Thereby running into difficulty saying what the Messenger never said. All of them fulfilled.
  37. So, make no mistake of comparing this Faith to any other. If you must compare, compare it with the ancient Faith of your fathers. This is the Faith of your fathers that started from the wilderness—the Church in the Wilderness, with the Rock of Ages there guiding.
  38. There, they saw the Ancient Shekinah. For the first time the Jews saw the Shekinah, the presence of ADONAI in their midst.
  39. And that is what you will use to know whenever you have met the true God. A sign that cannot be impersonated by the devil or by any human being accompanied by the Voice of God which is the Light of Truth, using nature as the greatest tool to convince people because God operates the divine laws of nature so that whether you go to school or not, educated or illiterate, you are a part of God’s programme, for nobody goes to school to learn about God.
  40. Through much studying in the school or anywhere, you cannot find God, but those literate people who boast of their high standard in education, they miss God. They miss God.
  41. So, God decided to use the despised things to humiliate them. Classless human beings became the beneficiaries of God’s salvation. Has God not chosen the poor things of the world, things that are rejected and despised? Is it not in the Bible, even in 1st Corinthians Chapter 1 from verse 26 through 29. It is as clear as the day and everywhere in the Scriptures.
  42. ReferenceS: [1] 1st Corinthians 1:26-29, AMP. 26For [simply] consider your own call, brethren; not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates and standards, not many influential and powerful, not many of high and noble birth.
  43. 27[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame.
  44. 28And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are,
  45. 29So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.
  46. [2] Matthew 11:25-26, AMP. 25At that time Jesus began to say, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth [and I acknowledge openly and joyfully to Your honour], that You have hidden these things from the wise and clever and learned, and revealed them to babies [to the childish, untaught, and unskilled]. 26Yes, Father, [I praise You that] such was Your gracious will and good pleasure.
  47. So God is hiding it from notable people and revealing it to babes. Babes! Infants such as you and I. Is it not amazing grace. The wise and the prudent sought for it but they could not get it.
  48. Remember the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven. Those that were bid to come to the feast [the Supper], were they not notable people? They promised they will be there. When the hour came, they started giving excuses. God said, “My feast must hold.”
  49. He sent His Son to go on the streets and fetch, “Anybody that is willing to follow you, no matter who that person might be. A mad man, the lame, the cripple, the blind. Any human being at all.”
  50. And He provided Garment for the Supper, more than the number of seats. Anyone that came, He gave the person a white Garment—a royal Garment—to cover the tattered garment.
  51. At the end of the day, looking into the hall, there was no tattered garment wearer. All of them were wearing immaculate white, except one who collected his own and refused to put it on.
  52. He was bound hands and feet, and hauled into the outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Those people who came with their tattered dresses, nobody was undressed. He never said, “Surrender it. Let me burn it.”
  53. MAN AND WOMAN, YOUNG AND OLD, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS RECEIVE YOUR WHITE GARMENT.
  54. And the Bible said that that Garment is the righteousness of the Saints. Did you get the Message?
  55. SONG: The windows of Heaven are open. His mercies are falling on us. There is joy, joy, joy in my heart, for Saviour has made everything right. I gave Him my old tattered garment. He gave me a robe of pure white. I’m feasting today on the Manna. And that’s why I’m happy today.
  56. YOUR SINS ARE COVERED. THAT IS WHY YOU SHOULD BE VERY HAPPY. YOU ARE BEING COVERED BY THE ROYAL GARMENT. THE OLD ONE THAT IS TATTERED AND STINKING IS SEEN NO MORE.
  57. So, there is nobody who is sensible who will go to his brother and begin to open the cloth to know what he is wearing inside. Is it not madness?
  58. When a mad man is dressed in white, a sensible man dressed in white, all of them in the same party, who is mad again? It is the Master of the party who has justified everybody fit for that party, who is adequate to order anybody out?
  59. Who has the right to reject somebody God has made acceptable in the Beloved.

The Voice said, “If I command you to do anything, do it because I have commanded you. Let the guilt be on Me. If you should be queried, give your reasons that the Son of Man instructed you.” Afterall, your fate is hanging on no other but Me. Without the appearance of the Son of Man, you were hell-bound to perish under the Mosaic laws. You could not have seen the separation. The separation line was hidden from you. You were all under the Mosaical laws until the Son of Man appeared. In spite of the Bible you have been reading, in spite of Jesus you have been quoting, in spite of the Prophets and the Apostles, you were still hell-bound.

THE WORD OF GOD CALLS FOR TOTAL EPARATION FROM UNBELIEF

BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST Volume 1, Pg. 94 vs. 11. … Second Book of Adam and Eve, Chapter 8:1-2, 8-9, 14-20.

  1. If you mention this Book in the denominations, they will tell you that you are anti-Christ. They will ask you whether it is in the Bible, for they do not know anything that is not in the Bible. Yet, they do not know the contents of the Bible.
  2. Have you seen that you are a highly blessed people? From Amazu Oil, he told you that there are books beyond the Bible and that the Bible contains nothing.
  3. He said that He will show you books that were suppressed, books that contain your information for eternal life, but which were deliberately suppressed and He promised thus, “And I must rake them up in due time. Follow Me. Towards the end, you will see everything.”
  4. As at that time, we had not even a copy handy. And nobody knew where they could be found, but THE SON OF MAN said, “I know where they packed them. Just be patient. We will get there one after the other.”
  5. When I published the encyclical letter and cannon laws of the Roman Catholics [in CRY OUT AGAINST THE SYSTEM] and exposed all the popes and everybody in their useless immoral lives, heads started rolling. They started haunting Me everywhere.
  6. I published another one, HARD TRUTH, the Pentecostals and everybody joined against Me. I published BEHOLD THE MAN OF SIN, those who wanted to kill Me joined hands with Me to fight the anti-Christ. Did you get the Message?
  7. 94 vs. 12-14. 12 [1]WHEN our father Adam saw that his end was near, he called his son Seth, who came to him in the Cave of Treasures, and he said unto him: –
  8. 13 [2]“O Seth, my son bring me thy children and thy children’s children, that I may shed my blessing on them ere I die.”
  9. 14[8]BUT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS THAT I GIVE THEE THIS DAY; THEN GIVE THE SAME TO THY SON ENOS; AND LET ENOS GIVE IT TO HIS SON CAINAN; AND CAINAN TO HIS SON MAHALALEEL; SO THAT THIS COMMANDMENT ABIDE FIRM AMONG ALL YOUR CHILDREN.
  10. Are all these things not in the Scriptures, even the parents? But go out and read these things, they will tell you that you are mad, “You are mad. Much learning has made you mad. This Man is brainwashing you.”
  11. If I brainwash you with the Truth, happy are you. They should brainwash their members with truth and not lies. If I am brainwashing you with lies, will God come and confirm it?
  12. This is the only group where God is always in attendance, where you have Him in Person, not abstract, monitoring, for so He promised from the very beginning.
  13. He will remain at the Headquarters, protecting it against error, for that is where He has emptied all His heirs, including His numerous friends and well-wishers, that He will never ever permit it to go into apostacy. Never! He will never!
  14. And every effort anybody will make to denominate it must surely fail, now and in the hereafter. If I leave the scene today, this Faith continues, for the instrument is already with the people. It has reached irretrievable height.
  15. Throw away your own, too many are holding it. Where it has entered, you do not know. And you do not know what the people are doing with it. You only know yourself and your family.
  16. If you leave, nobody notices it. You decide to stay back, nobody notices it. But you do yourself well when you know the truth and abide in it. Finish!
  17. But let Me ask you this question. Have you observed that there is no other place called church– nothing called church where anybody can go and get persecution?
  18. Change from Roman Catholic to Anglican, nobody will persecute you. Change from Assemblies of God to Grace of God, nobody will ever persecute you. Deeper life to Grace of God, all the same. Even Odozi Obodo to Cherubim, nobody will persecute you.
  19. But the moment you step your feet into this Most Holy Faith, no matter how small we are in number, hell will be let loose. If you see people flexing their muscle, you think we are in a cathedral, but they have their ministries everywhere.
  20. Remember, we are not the only Bride of Christ Ministry, but we are the only Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide. Do you know that?
  21. What is wrong with them? What are they fighting against? The Man child. The Man child that was born in the Wilderness. When they went for Him in the Wilderness, the mother had already fled to an unknown place.
  22. Only you know where you are, and who and who that are with you. If I tell you to go to Bride of Christ Ministry in Onitsha, where are you going to? The more you look, the less you see.
  23. 95 vs. 16-23. 16 [14]“But now, 0 Seth, my son, place thyself at the head of thy people; tend them and watch over them in the fear of God; and lead them in the good way. 17Command them to fast unto God; and make them understand they ought not to hearken to Satan, lest he destroy them.
  24. 18[15]“Then, again, sever thy children and thy children’s children from Cain’s children;… What? “Then, again, sever thy children and thy children’s children from Cain’s children;… All generations! For the Word of God calls for total separation from unbelief.
  25. My friend at Benjamin Street, the pastor at Grace of God mission said, “Sir, I love You and the way You talk about the Kingdom of Heaven. You talk as if you will go to Heaven alive.”
  26. I said, “Sir, if I go alive, has somebody not been there alive? Do you not believe that Elijah vanished? Do you not believe that Enoch vanished? Do you not believe that Jesus Christ vanished?” He said okay.
  27. “Now, I want to tell You because the question You were asking Me whether I believe in born again.” That was what provoked the discussion. I said yes! He said, “By what?” I said, “By the Word of God, which is the Spirit of Truth.”
  28. He said, “Is that so? Do you not know that all these teachings you are giving to your people that the most important is to be born again?”
  29. I said, “Can anybody be born again outside the truth? If I do not give them these teachings as truth, what will they be born again with? Is it changing from one church to another? You are born again by the incorruptible Word of God which abideth forever. You are cleansed. You are washed. You are sanctified by the Word of God which is incorruptible, not changing church sir.
  30. So, for that your so-called crusade over there, tell Fabian that I am not coming Finish! I do not attend any religious gathering. I prefer attending to heathen’s festivals. Heathen’s festivals! I go there and dance, eat and drink with the heathens. I enjoy it instead of attending a religious gathering.” Do you know why?
  31. 18[15]“Then, again, sever thy children and thy children’s children from Cain’s children; do not let them ever mix with those, nor come near them either in their words or in their deeds.”
  32. 19[16]Then Adam let his blessing descend upon Seth, and upon his children, and upon all his children’s children. 20[17]He then turned to his son Seth, and to Eve his wife, and ,said to them, “Preserve this gold, this incense, and this myrrh, that God has given us for a sign; for in days that are coming, a flood will overwhelm the whole creation.
  33. 21But those who shall go into the ark shall take with them the gold, the incense, and the myrrh, together with my body; and will lay the gold, the incense, and the myrrh, with my body in the midst of the earth. 22[18]“Then, after a long time, the city in which the gold, the incense, and the myrrh are found with my body, shall be plundered.
  34. 23But when it is spoiled, the gold, the incense, and the myrrh shall be taken care of with the spoil that is kept; and naught of them shall perish, UNTIL THE WORD OF GOD, MADE MAN SHALL COME; Amen!!!
  35. Brethren, did it happen? Did Flood ravage the earth. Okay! We will see that Word made Man. The Word made Man. The Word made flesh.
  36. When He was born, Shepherds from the East went there. What did they give as gifts? Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. Who owned them? The one God gave to Adam. A royal gift for a royal Diadem for generations till the end.
  37. Do you not know that whatever God does lasts forever? Nothing can be added. Nothing can be subtracted. He watches over His Word. Do you believe it.
  38. Somebody read Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 12 and Isaiah 55 verse 11.
  39. Jeremiah 1:12, TLB. And the LORD replied, “That’s right, and it means that I will carry out My threats of punishment.”
  40. Then said the LORD to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My Word to perform it. What? God watches over His Word to perform it.
  41. Complete Jewish Bible (CJB). Then ADONAI said to me,… ADONAI did what? … said to me “You have seen well, because I am watching to fulfill My Word.” I am doing what? …watching to fulfill My Word.”
  42. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten My Word to perform it.
  43. Isaiah 55:11, TLB. So also is My Word. I will send it out, and it always produces fruit. It shall accomplish all I want it to and prosper everywhere I send it. Yes!
  44. So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth: It shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
  45. Complete Jewish Bible (CJB). so is My Word that goes out of My mouth — it will not return to Me unfulfilled; but it will accomplish what I intend, and cause to succeed what I sent it to do.”
  46. Is the difference not clear? It is because you are under My watch. Do you know who God is? God who spoke at sundry times and in diverse ways, now speaks to you face to face, direct, watching over His Word, that the Word that went out of the mouth of God in righteousness from the first word go, you are seeing it.
  47. I said the Word of God is constantly alive and active. It does not fade away until the purpose is fulfilled. That is why I said, “Be mindful of the Voice that is roaring on your head. Do not ever call it a light thing. If you fail to do the right thing, wait for it.”
  48. 97 vs. 21-24. 21But those who shall go into the ark shall take with them the gold, the incense, and the myrrh, together with my body; and will lay the gold, the incense, and the myrrh, with my body in the midst of the earth.
  49. 22[18]“Then, after a long time, the city in which the gold, the incense, and the myrrh are found with my body, shall be plundered. 23But when it is spoiled, the gold, the incense, and the myrrh shall be taken care of with the spoil that is kept; and naught of them shall perish, UNTIL THE WORD OF GOD, MADE MAN SHALL COME;
  50. 24when kings shall take them, and shall offer to Him, gold in token of His being King;… Future o! Future. God made Man– God made Man shall come. …incense, in token of His being God of heaven and earth; and myrrh, in token of His passion.
  51. 101 vs. 36. 36That His Seed to be worshipped cannot be any Person other than the Almighty God Himself… From the tribe of Judah …for Him alone shall you worship.

Greater than King David is on the scene. David never offered any sacrifice at any altar until he died. I am a King, I am a Priest, I am a Judge. If David could carry arms, marshal out troops, they killed even his own first son Absalom and sin was not imputed on David, Greater than David is on the scene.

THE PRIESTHOOD IS A DIVINE PERSONALITY

BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST Volume 1, Pg. 101 vs. 37-40. [Excerpt from THE TESTAMENT OF THE TWELVE PATRIARCHS, Chapter 3 verse 14 through 15] 37Accordingly, Levi in Chapter 3 says, [13]AND A BLESSING SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU, AND TO ALL THY SEED, UNTIL THE LORD SHALL VISIT ALL THE HEATHEN IN THE TENDER MERCIES OF HIS SON EVEN FOREVER.

  1. 38NEVERTHELESS, YOUR SONS SHALL LAY HANDS UPON HIM TO CRUCIFY HIM; AND THEREFORE, HAVE COUNSEL AND UNDERSTANDING BEEN GIVEN TO YOU, THAT YOU MIGHT INSTRUCT YOUR SONS CONCERNING HIM, because he that blesses Him shall be blessed, but they that curse Him shall perish.
  2. 39[14]And the angel opened to me the Gates of Heaven, and I saw the Holy Temple, and the Most High upon a Throne of Glory.
  3. 40[15]And He said to me Levi, I have given you the blessings of the Priesthood until that I shall come and sojourn in the midst of Israel. … Amen!
  4. He has given Him what? The office of the Cohen Gadol until a future time. He was holding it as a will until the owner of the will shall arrive so that he will surrender it. Did it come to pass?
  5. Jesus the High Priest chosen in the order of Melchizedek. A King and a Priest forever.
  6. What makes this Faith false since this information is contained in the Bible. In the Book of Hebrews, it is there. In the Holy Qur’an, it is there. If you go to the ancient manuscripts, even in the prophecy of the Prophet of Germany, Abdrushin– if you go to the making of the priesthood, it is there, for no priesthood is ordained by a man.
  7. THE Priesthood is a divine Personality, divinely selected by the Almighty God and divinely breathed into the body of a woman to be born here as His incarnate.
  8. He will move about as a human being like others until His own appointed time comes, and the Ministry will take off.
  9. Even John the Baptist pointed to Jesus Christ, “One standing among you whom you know not. You knew Him not, Whose Ministry will soon take off.” So, there is time for everything.
  10. REFERENCES: [1] Hebrews 5:1, 4-6, & 9-10 AMP. 1FOR EVERY high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in things relating to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. …
  11. 4Besides, one does not appropriate for himself the honor [of being high priest], but he is called by God and receives it of Him, just as Aaron did.
  12. 5So too Christ (the Messiah) did not exalt Himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed and exalted by Him Who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have begotten You;
  13. 6As He says also in another place, You are a Priest [appointed] forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek. …
  14. 9And, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped], He became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey Him, 10Being designated and recognized and saluted by God as High Priest after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek.
  15. [2] Hebrews 6:19-20, AMP. 19[Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it–a hope] that reaches farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil,
  16. 20Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek.
  17. [3] Islamic Hadith: [A] Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, 29th Letter 7th Section Sixth Sign. A zealous, self-sacrificing community known as a Christian community but worthy of being called “Muslim Christians,” will work to unite the true religion of Jesus (upon whom be peace) with the reality of Islam and will kill and rout that society of the Dajjal under the leadership of Jesus (UWP), thus saving humanity from atheism.
  18. This important mystery is very lengthy. Since we have discussed it briefly in other places, here we make do with this indication…
  19. [B] Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal, Vol. 2, p. 411. Whosoever lives from among you shall meet Isa, son of Mary who is IMAM, MAHDI, ARBITER and JUDGE.
  20. [C] Imam Nawawi, Commentary on Sahih Muslim. The Prophet Jesus (as), son of Mary, will definitely descend as a just judge and a just ruler.
  21. [D] Sunan Ibn Majah The Judgment Day will not take place until the Prophet Jesus (as), son of Mary, comes as a fair ruler and a just Imam.
  22. [E] Sahih Bukhari By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the son of Mary (the Prophet Jesus [as]) will shortly descend among you people as a just ruler.

1THE reason why we preached Justification by Faith in Jesus Christ and not by the works of the Law, is because it is revealed to us by the Holy Scriptures as the only way we can be put right with God. 2And even the Holy Spirit in us is bearing witness that we are not deceived. 3It has far more greater glory than that of Moses, and this glory which we have now is eternal.4So Brethren, let it be assuredly known to you that anybody who is still holding and preaching justification by works of the Law, is out of the way of the truth, his mind and understanding is veiled and blinded, covered with a thick veil and the real meaning of Scripture is hidden from that man. 5And he is a sinner in the sight of God even till this day. It is a sure sign that the person is lost forever.

NOBODY IS SAVED BY OBEYING THE JEWISH LAWS AND CUSTOMS

BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST Volume 1, Pg. 104 vs. 44-45. 44[60]Because of Him shall your holy places be desolate, polluted even to the ground, and you shall have no place that is clean;

  1. 45but you shall be among the Gentiles a curse and a dispersion until He shall again look upon you (visit you again) and in pity shall take you to Himself through faith and water. (no more LAW).
  2. Through Faith and water. No more Torah. Torah has come to an end. Brethren, what is wrong with us?
  3. When the law was given in that place and everything, whether written or not written in your hearts, the LORD said, “The law was to last until Christ comes. When Christ comes, the law is brushed aside.” But who continued carrying this law about?
  4. No wonder people saw Me when I destroyed the brazen serpent at Amazu Oil with My own hand. I destroyed the brazen serpent because when the people left Egypt, in the wilderness, they made a brazen serpent according to the Word of the LORD.
  5. When they were bitten by snake, they looked up to it, and then, they were healed. God said, “So shall the son of man be lifted up in his own day that whosoever that looks up to Him shall get salvation from His Name.”
  6. Looking up to Him means “Surrender to Him”. Is it not true? Do you not look up to Him today? Is He not the One where we are pinning our hopes for full and complete salvation, even for the remission of our sins? True or false?
  7. Do you know that when these people left that place, they carried that brazen serpent. Anywhere they went, they carried it peradventure snakes will bite them again.
  8. So they carried the thing until they emptied it in the temple for preservation. People started honouring that brazen serpent in the Temple until the days of Hezekiah.
  9. In the days of Hezekiah, he called for the brazen serpent. They brought the thing back. He said, “Empty it on the land.” They emptied it. He examined it and said, “This thing has become a snare to Israel. So, it cannot remain. It has outlived its usefulness.” What did He do? He set it ablaze.
  10. And that was the end of carrying it, for the LORD has accused Israel of idolatry because of it.
  11. Now, the son of man lifted up the ten commandments of Moses and said, “You are having something that has even gone beyond the reach of man. The oldest brazen serpent I know is the one you lifted from Mount Sinai.”
  12. And that is Mount Sinai in Egypt. You carried it across the Red Sea, across Jordan, across Canaan and across everywhere. It has gone across the LORD Jesus Christ Who was to stop it.
  13. The Apostles carried it. And it caused trouble between the Apostles and among themselves. Do you not know that the law caused trouble? It brought a real trouble among them.
  14. REFERENCES: [1] Acts 15:7-29, NIV. 1After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.
  15. 8God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith.
  16. 10Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? 11No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
  17. 12The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.
  18. 13When they finished, James spoke up: “Brothers, listen to me. 14Simon has described to us how God at first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for himself. 15The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:
  19. 16“‘After this I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it, 17that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things’ 18that have been known for ages.
  20. 19“It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.“
  21. 22Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, two men who were leaders among the brothers.
  22. 23With them they sent the following letter: The apostles and elders, your brothers, To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: Greetings. 24We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said.
  23. 25So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul– 26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing.
  24. 28It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.
  25. [2] Acts 21:15-32, NIV. 15After this, we got ready and went up to Jerusalem. 16Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus and one of the early disciples.
  26. 17When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us warmly. 18The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were present.
  27. 19Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. 20When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
  28. 21They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs.
  29. 22What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come, 23so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow. 24Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everybody will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law.
  30. 25As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.”
  31. 26The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each of them.
  32. 27When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, 28shouting, “Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple area and defiled this holy place.”
  33. 29(They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple area.) 30The whole city was aroused, and the people came running from all directions. Seizing Paul, they dragged him from the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.
  34. 31While they were trying to kill him, news reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
  35. They did not know whether to drop it all or to obey some or to destroy all for fear of those who were adherents of that law and who were feeding from it in the temple. They were afraid of what the people will say.
  36. So all of them continued until even William Branham took the thing. It crossed.
  37. If THE SON OF MAN never destroyed it, it will be having rule over you. Many even protested when I destroyed it, and I showed them when it was condemned. It has lasted more than God said it should last. And immediately I destroyed it, the Glory of God came down. Did you get the Message?
  38. And from that time till now, it has been warfare. War between the Jewish Rabbis and the son of man.
  39. If you check all the churches so-called, no matter their name, what is holding them captive is the ten commandments. Some even stipulate it as a condition for eternal life. Is it a lie Brethren?
  40. Even those who came to Jesus Christ, He ridiculed them. Do you not know the ten commandments of Moses? They said, “We have kept it all from our youth.” He said, “Then what else do you need?” They said, “We know we are not yet saved.”
  41. REFERENCE: Matthew 19:16-22, AMP. 16And behold, there came a man up to Him, saying, Teacher, what excellent and perfectly and essentially good deed must I do to possess eternal life?
  42. 17And He said to him, Why do you ask Me about the perfectly and essentially good? There is only One Who is good [perfectly and essentially]–God. If you would enter into the Life, you must continually keep the commandments.
  43. 18He said to Him, What sort of commandments? [Or, which ones?] And Jesus answered, You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19Honour your father and your mother, and, You shall love your neighbour as [you do] yourself.
  44. 20The young man said, I have observed all these from my youth; what still do I lack?
  45. 21Jesus answered him, If you would be perfect [that is, have that spiritual maturity which accompanies self-sacrificing character], go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; and come, be My disciple [side with My party and follow Me].
  46. 22But when the young man heard this, he went away sad (grieved and in much distress), for he had great possessions.
  47. Saint Paul kept more than that and other Jewish laws, but he discovered that he was wasting his time, for they could not save him.
  48. REFERENCE: Philippians 3:1-7, TLB. [1]Whatever happens, dear friends, be glad in the Lord. I never get tired of telling you this, and it is good for you to hear it again and again. [2]Watch out for those wicked men—dangerous dogs, I call them—who say you must be circumcised to be saved.
  49. [3]For it isn’t the cutting of our bodies that makes us children of God; it is worshiping him with our spirits. That is the only true “circumcision.” We Christians glory in what Christ Jesus has done for us and realize that we are helpless to save ourselves.
  50. [4]Yet if anyone ever had reason to hope that he could save himself, it would be I. If others could be saved by what they are, certainly I could!
  51. [5]For I went through the Jewish initiation ceremony when I was eight days old, having been born into a pure-blooded Jewish home that was a branch of the old original Benjamin family. So I was a real Jew if there ever was one! What’s more, I was a member of the Pharisees who demand the strictest obedience to every Jewish law and custom.
  52. [6]And sincere? Yes, so much so that I greatly persecuted the Church; and I tried to obey every Jewish rule and regulation right down to the very last point. [7]But all these things that I once thought very worthwhile—now I’ve thrown them all away so that I can put my trust and hope in Christ alone.
  53. Philippians 3:1-7, AMP. 1FOR THE rest, my brethren, delight yourselves in the Lord and continue to rejoice that you are in Him. To keep writing to you [over and over] of the same things is not irksome to me, and it is [a precaution] for your safety.
  54. 2Look out for those dogs [Judaizers, legalists], look out for those mischief-makers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.
  55. 3For we [Christians] are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit and by the Spirit of God and exult and glory and pride ourselves in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence or dependence [on what we are] in the flesh and on outward privileges and physical advantages and external appearances—
  56. 4Though for myself I have [at least grounds] to rely on the flesh. If any other man considers that he has or seems to have reason to rely on the flesh and his physical and outward advantages, I have still more!
  57. 5Circumcised when I was eight days old, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew [and the son] of Hebrews; as to the observance of the Law I was of [the party of] the Pharisees,
  58. 6As to my zeal, I was a persecutor of the church, and by the Law’s standard of righteousness (supposed justice, uprightness, and right standing with God) I was proven to be blameless and no fault was found with me. 7But whatever former things I had that might have been gains to me, I have come to consider as [ one combined] loss for Christ’s sake.
  59. Then what are you carrying it for? What are you carrying it for? Why do you not sit down and allow the Spirit of God to give you perfect understanding?
  60. When God vindicated Himself in your midst, was it because you were obeying those laws? Was it the reason why he showcased Himself? Both the shekinah, the Godhead and the Deity.
  61. All the signs and wonder and miracles God has been performing, is it because you obeyed the ten commandments? Oh no! How I wish you know who is talking to you.THE CLOUD IS HERE, BUT MANY ARE NOT UNDER THE CLOUD HERE. MANY ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE CLOUD HERE.
  1. Do not say we are small. We are great. We are great. I may even add more people to see whether I will take some from among you.
  2. Anybody that will find himself or herself here will be sent to Me by God and not mere volunteers or people that are being compelled or bribed or persuaded to be here. Would God not save all of them? There is no way you can be among the number God brought here and you get destroyed.
  3. And the moment God is the one behind your coming into His Holy Assembly, it will register before Me and before you here.

 Underline it that the Son of Man said it is the Truth. Beyond the curtain of time, I will see you, you will see Me, and that is where we are afraid of; beyond the curtain of time, which we must go.  Thus, life does not end in the grave, otherwise, we just go away, eat, drink and then die. Do you think the entire world is worshipping Jehovah in vain? Do you think that the entire world is making search for the Supreme Deity, The Supreme Intelligence that controls the universe in vain? Where we are, astronauts cannot get there. We are operating beyond the astronauts. We are even operating beyond the internet. Internet is still within human conception or perception. I repeat, where we are and where we are heading to, is beyond human conception and beyond human perception.

THE SON OF MAN

FACING THE FACTS OF OUR FAITH; Preached on Sunday 9th October 2005 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 88 vs. 37 – 38

HAVE YOU NOW BELIEVED THAT I AM HE?

 

BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST Volume 1, Pg. 106 vs. 50-53. 50They trusted he was the person to redeem them; they trusted but now they feel disappointed. You that are feeling disappointed, was that your expected promised? Could it be your wishful thinking is deceiving and disappointing you? Who knows?

  1. 51If it is not according to scripture; if it is not according to promise; it is not according to prophecy; if it is not according to Time, then forget about it. Amen and Amen! Who then disappointed the other?
  2. 52[25]Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 53[27]And beginning at Moses… Beginning at what? Moses. That is the law. …and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
  3. Did He show them any other thing? He only showed them the things written concerning Himself in the volumes of those books.
  4. That is the much we will take. It is already posted for everybody globally. When you get to your homes, continue from where we stopped until you finish Volume 2.
  5. Do not ever think that when I come your way next time, I will be going to Volume 2. No! Finish all. I say, finish all. And join your Brethren. Do not trail behind.
  6. As long as you are here, you should always be ahead. As long as you are worshipping in this Bridal Studio, you should be always ahead.
  7. I want to instruct that you detach the morning Message from this one. That morning exaltation should be a Message of itself. And I will give you the title.
  8. The title is HAVE YOU NOW BELIEVED THAT I AM HE? HAVE YOU NOW BELIEVED THAT I AM HE? That is the title of that morning exhortation.
  9. Thank you for your patience, for your audience, for your cooperation from the time we took off to this very hour.
  10. I pray that the Almighty God who brought you here will continue to guide, lead, espouse and expound to you. Until the day your mortal bodies will be translated, remain espoused to Christ.
  11. And remain having God in person for your teacher, for no one will love you more than God. No one means well to you more than God, and no one has the Word of eternal life except God Himself.
  12. Do that which he has already documented in all the sermon books prepared for you especially at this end time, knowing that as we near the end such as we are right now, we are nearest to the end now than ever, and you begin to see the Word of God, the Living Word of God appears to be very scarce now than the food we eat.
  13. This is the time God said, “In the end, there will be scarcity of the Word of God.” Famine of the Word of God is gaining ground now.
  14. Even when you go to the streets, whether heresy or the truth, preachers are tired of preaching. What they now have are programmes. Even in those programmes, people find it difficult to go there. So the churches are having hard times.
  15. That is why they have resorted to having schools and colleges, places of entertainment like hotels. Churches are now resorting to building restaurants, supermarkets and hotels.
  16. Go around and you see too many of them. Many are now in real business in oil and gas, establishing filling stations here and there. I mean, cooking gas plants here and there.
  17. They are no longer interested in preaching the Word. They are tired, and they do not have what to preach any more. People have discovered that the whole thing is just fraudulent.
  18. But to you who were severed by God from among them, hidden away from their sight and from their reach, and you are being nourished at home according to His perfect will, be sure that you are where He said you should be and you are found where He placed you.
  19. Where did He place us? In the Word. In His Word. If He is coming to look for you, He is coming to look for you in His Word. So be sure you are there steadfast, immovable.
  20. Remember, the time for waiting had always been the time people abandon the Faith of Christ. The time for waiting is the time people pay casual approach to the Word of God. Be very sure you are not one of them.
  21. Do not allow your candle stick to go off your hand. A great wind is blowing. Those who have candle sticks, that great wind is quenching their lights. Those that have beams of light, their light will even remain burning. Amidst the storm– rain storm, the beam of light is still there.
  22. So, be sure you are that beam of light which rainfall will not stop. It cannot extinguish it. When the wind blows, you will see your own going into flames.
  23. Wherever there is a beam of fire, when the wind blows, what does it do? It will go aflame, but the kerosene torch is easily extinguished by the wind.
  24. Even after a torrential rainfall, when you look at the beam of fire, it will still be smoking, and after a while you will see it gradually go aflame again. Is there truth in it? Take your decisions that will save your life tomorrow.
  25. Bye for now.
