THE SON OF MAN
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3:8, King James Version
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
Isaiah 60:1-5, King James version
1SEE WHAT [an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him. 2Beloved, we are [even here and] now God’s children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [as God’s children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He [really] is.
1 John 3:1-3, Amplified version
Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for and expecting Him.
Hebrews 9:28, Amplified version
Then I heard a Mighty Voice from the Throne and I perceived its distinct Words, saying, See! The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people, and God shall personally be with them and be their God.
Revelation 21:3, Amplified version
Let Me tell you something you do not know. The traditional religion believes in Amadioha and also believes in the Almighty God. The Christian faith believes that there is Jesus and also believes that there is Almighty God. The Moslem believes that there is Mohammed and also believes that there is Almighty God. To you that is in this Faith, do you believe that there is Son of Man and there is Almighty God? You have to answer the question yourself.

INTRODUCTION
- In the course of human development, the consciousness of the Supreme Being who is referred to as the Almighty God is imparted in an individual through many means according the culture, traditions, experiences of the person’s parentage, background and circumstance(s) surrounding the individual’s upbringing. In this way, human aspirations, choices, achievements and limitations are all embodied in this consciousness so established in the individual.
- This consciousness in its primitive and unguided state forms the basis of religion, which has remained speculative, vague and largely imaginary, especially as regards the personality of the Almighty God, His divine essence and demands.
- In the absence of any revelation of the reality, people in all the ages and of various regions and nations of the world have carried on with unfounded and baseless practices, all in the name of the worship of whatever they perceived or still adjudge to be “God” or “Gods” and “a supreme being” described as higher than other gods.
- In some cases, intermediaries between man and the Almighty God have been imagined and established in the hearts of “adherents of religion” who can only be best described as “victims”.
- Unfortunately, these imagined and unsubstantiated intermediaries are given positions of authority over these ignorant adherents of religion. What did this situation produce? Limitations and outright deviation from the truth.
- Sciences, Philosophy, free-thinking, mysticism, divination, astrology, mediums, sorcery, witchcraft and wizardry have all contributed with their heavy weight of ignorance in bringing about the confusion concerning the personality and the demands of the Almighty God, even till this very day.
- On the other hand, knowledge, wisdom and understanding are all gifts from the LORD God Almighty Himself which He bequeaths on “Whosoever” according to His good pleasure. These three gifts help in opening the eyes of the beneficiary so as to behold His Majesty in plain view.
- This testimony in its entirety celebrates the Personality to Whom is credited the Nugget that THE REVELATION OF WHO GOD IS GOES TO THE ELECT ONLY.
- This was already a common knowledge established in the hearts of the predestinated and foreordained of this Age before He revealed through the documentations of Prophet Enoch thus,
- “And then wisdom shall be given to the Elect, and they shall all live and never again sin, either through forgetfulness or through pride: But those who are given wisdom shall be humble.”[Ethiopic Book of Enoch 5:9]
- What could be the possible reason why The Almighty God gives out knowledge, wisdom and understanding to human beings and not to any other creatures? The Giver of this gift of wisdom intends to take the receiver to a higher level of development and restoration of a peaceful and eternal relationship.
- In other words, this Storehouse or Fountain and the Giver of wisdom and the beneficiaries must have something in common. What does He look like? What does He want from man?
- The Personality of the Almighty God was made manifest in Ages past to some individuals, some of whom described Him variously as “Head of Days” [Prophet Enoch], “Ancient of Days” [Prophet Daniel] and “Everlasting Rock – the Rock of Ages” [Prophet Isaiah].
- In all the descriptions, no one has ever described this Personality other than as “HE”.
- The Almighty God has never changed, and He will never change. As a result of His unlimited love for the highest of His creatures [Man], He has never ceased from teaching mankind in every generation in the Way He wants them to go. The aim of God at all times remains to educate, inform and enlighten His own against the error that is attached to ignorance or willful disobedience.
- The LORD God Almighty has remained in the business of visiting His own wherever they are found to draw them to Himself, and leaving a trail of series of many convincing demonstrations, unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs as His indelible footprints in all the Ages.
- All the references used in this Testament are basically a portion of the totality of the revelation from THE SON OF MAN. They are not used to convince those who are not in God’s programme, but to lay credence to the eternal truth of the topic that in the six days allotted to man, the LORD God Almighty, the Creator of Heaven and earth and the fullness thereof has left indelible footprints on the sands of timeeven in this Age as He concludes His journey with the mortal mankind.
“Lo I am with you always even till the end of the world. A little while the world seeth me no more, but you will see me because I live ye shall live also.” Then, where did He go? Even St. Paul made it clear to them elsewhere, search for Him among the Earthen vessels. The Prophet said, “Do not look for Him among the clergy for He will never appear as a clergy man.” He will be an ordinary man like you, but there is one thing: The simplicity, the humility that will be in Him will make this ministry to fly over the head of everybody for He will not make noise on the street.
THE SON OF MAN- from the message-
THE REVELATION OF THE NAME OF GOD IN ALL THE AGES: THE BACKGROUND PREACHED ON 4TH NOVEMBER 2012 PG 90:49-50.
1
The revelation of the Almighty God goes to the elect only
Though properly documented in almost all the Ages and among the different people of the world for the sake of posterity and to keep the subsequent generations from error, the personality of the Almighty has always been and is still ambiguous in the hearts of all religionists who are destined to perish.
- The simplicity of the nature of the Almighty God beats human imaginations hollow, more especially when human beings think about the entire creation and contemplates the size of the being and power upholding everything in its position and season perpetually.
- They had all along imagined the colossus or the massive figure that should be referred to as the Almighty God.
- Rather than take the simple route as revealed by the Almighty Himself in the Garden of Eden and even in all the Ages, the perishing world had always and is still hopelessly plying the highway of complexities, imaginings, and are constantly insinuating lots of divisive and inappropriate stories about the personality of the Almighty God.
- The worst and most destructive impression the unlearned man has about God is that the Almighty God is a spirit that cannot be seen with the human eyes.
- The aim of all salvation works is to relieve mankind of the grave burden of this fallacy, best described by the King James version of the Bible as “Cunningly devised fables”.
- 2 Peter 1:16, King James Version. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty
THE TORAH AND THE GOSPEL REVEALED THE ALMIGHTY AS A MAN
- Let us, once again undertake this simple journey through the revelation of the Almighty God to His own as documented before now and then compare it with what the ears and hearts of the Elect have received and stored in this last and most awkward generation.
- Among the Bible believers, I make bold to ask these few questions. [1] IF IT IS TRUE THAT THE ALMIGHTY GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS, WHAT DID THE ALMIGHTY GOD LOOK LIKE BEFORE HE CREATED MANKIND? [2] DID ADAM AND EVE WHO WERE THE FIRST HUMAN BEINGS EVER SEE GOD WITH THEIR EYES? [3] WHO SAID, “I AM THE LORD, I CHANGE NOT …..”?
- Beyond the controversy of seeing the Almighty God or not, people of all Ages have records of testimonies containing these clauses: “God said”, “The Almighty God said”, “The LORD said”, “The LORD God said”, “the Angel of the LORD said”.
- Man who was created in the likeness of God is the only creature that has the power of speech as his basic and regular characteristic feature. This is unquestionable, for we all have it unless for some unforeseen disabilities.
- Numbers 12:6-8, King James Version of the Bible.6And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. The LORD that spoke was described as HE.
- 7My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.8With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
- He speaks. He spoke to Moses in the outback of Egypt in the wilderness of Midian at the end of Moses’ civil service and exile in the house of Jethro his father in-law. That discussion changed the fate of Moses forever.
- “With Him will I speak mouth to mouth” portrays simple figure of speech [Simile]. And one can rightly say, “Like the LORD God, like Moses.”
- Let us go through this discussion between Abraham and the Personality called “the LORD God”. Please note the use of the pronoun “HE” in relation to a Personality in this recorded discussion.
- Genesis 15:5-8, King James version of the Bible. 5And He[the LORD God] brought him [Abraham] forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he [the LORD God] said unto him [Abraham], So shall thy seed be.
- 6And he [Abraham]believed in the Lord;… So, HE that spoke to Abraham is the LORD. …and he [the LORD God] counted it to him [Abraham] for righteousness.
- 7And he[the LORD God] said unto him [Abraham], I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give thee this land to inherit it.
- The personality finally revealed Himself to Abraham as the “I AM”, “The LORD”.
- Further down in Genesis 15:12-16 of the same version of the Bible, the following reported. 12And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him. 13And HE[the LORD God] said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 16But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
- The LORD God spoke with Abraham when he had settled in that land allocated to him and his descendants after he left the Ur of Chaldeans
- Let us once again revisit Numbers 12:6-8 from the King James Version of the Bible. 6And he said, Hear now My Words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. 7My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 8With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
- Moses remains the most revered personality in Judaism.
- Exodus 3:6-14, King James version of the Bible. 6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
- Before we continue with this journey of the celebration of my faith in The Almighty, let us see the nature of the personality of THE GOD OF ABRAHAM as quoted above.
- Genesis 18:1-2, King James version. 1And the Lordappeared unto him [Abraham] in the plains of Mamre: and he [Abraham] sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2and he [Abraham] lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him [Abraham]: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,…
- This is an Islamic practice of obeisance and part of the manifestation of total submission to the will of the Almighty God. Abraham worshipped the Man before Him, the only One and true God – a Man.
- Hear what Abraham said as he remained bowing done before the LORD.
- Genesis 18:3, KJV. 3and said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: …
- Abraham treated the LORD and His entourage of two men to a lavish feast. When they were done with the feast and the promise of a son given to Abraham, the LORD rose up with the other two men and made this statement.
- Genesis 18:20-22, KJV.20And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, 21I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. 22And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but ABRAHAM STOOD YET BEFORE THE LORD.
- There is no doubt that one of the three men that were hosted by Abraham is the LORD God Almighty. Abraham stood with the LORD to negotiate and intercede on behalf of the righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah. So, the God of Abraham is a Man.
- Let us continue with the Book of Exodus chapter 3. 7And the Lord said, I have surely seenthe affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 8and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
- 9Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
- It cannot be a different God who had heard the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah six generations before Moses was born.
- Let us see what transpired in verse 13. 13And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathershath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
- 14And God said unto Moses, I am that I am: and HE[The LORD God Almighty] said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I am hath sent me unto you.
- 15And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
- With the experience of Abraham, it has just been established above that the God of Abraham is a Man, who speaks and gives instructions, eats and drinks and even walks about like every other human being.
- Exodus 24:9-11, King James version of the Bible.9Then went up Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; 10and they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
- The elders of Israel were not the first that saw the LORD God Almighty. Neither were they the last that saw Him.
- 1 Corinthians 10:3-4, Amplified version of the Bible.
- 3And all [of them] ate the same spiritual (supernaturally given) food, 4And they all drank the same spiritual (supernaturally given) drink. For they drank from a spiritual Rock which followed them [produced by the sole power of God Himself without natural instrumentality], and the Rock was Christ.
- In another dispensation it was recorded in the Book of Hebrews chapter 5 verses 4 through 6 thus, 4Besides, one does not appropriate for himself the honour [of being high priest], but he is called by God and receives it of Him, just as Aaron did. 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; 6As He says also in another place, You are a Priest [appointed] forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek.[Amplified version of the Bible]
- Remember that the LORD Jesus Christ is the man referred to as Christ [the Rock] and a High Priest forever in the order and rank of Melchizedek, the same Personality Abraham called LORD.
- Jesus, in the days, confirmed His personality to the Jews.59Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. [Luke 8:56-58, KJV]
- Jesus did not stop introducing who he was to his disciples.
- John 14:8-9 & 13-14, KJV.8Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? ……. 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
- The LORD God has just introduced Himself in plain language. Yet, He is a man.
THE HADITH OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD AND ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS REVEALED THE ALMIGHTY AS A MAN
- Among the Muslims, the mystic secret of Christ who is also referred to as the Mahdi by the Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] is revealed more in the Hadith than in the Holy Qur’an. The Hadith is more outspoken and revealing as to the personality of Jesus, Muhammad [pbuh] the Mahdi and the Almighty Allah with all names pointing to the same person.
- Tafsir Araisul Bayan, Vol. 1, p. 262. Before pondering over these traditions of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, regarding the advent of the Messiah and Mahdi, it must be kept in view that the Holy Quran as well as the traditions of the Holy Prophet are unanimous in their verdict that Jesus, son of Mary, has died his natural death. Further, the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet both are in unison that the dead never return to life in this transitory world of ours. Hence when it is narrated in the traditions that Jesus son of Mary will come, it should not be taken literally but rather to be understood in the metaphorical sense as has been interpreted by a scholar of great repute and regenerator of his century,Mohyyud Din Ibn Arabi, when he says: “His descent in later ages will be with a DIFFERENT body.” From the above hadith, there are four facts. [1] The Messiah is the same personality as the Mahdi. [2] Jesus has died His natural death and will not be seen as Jesus again for the purpose of salvation. [3] The Messiah and Mahdi will neither be Jesus nor Muhammad [pbuh] in later later Ages, especially the last Age at the end of the world. [4] He shall appear as a man.
- Al-Haythami, Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar, Pg. 41. “HE” will be sent when “HE” is between 30 and 40. The Mahdi is one of my children. “HE” is around If the Mahdi is “one of my children” according to Muhammad [pbuh] who is a man, in what form will the Messiah Who is no other person but the Saviour appear? Will HE appear other than a man like the Prophet was? Pause and ponder!
- Bihar al-Anwar: 86-81.From Yahya ibn Nufal, indeed Musa ibn Ja’afar (as) raise his hands and supplicates after Asr prayer, I inquire from him saying, to whom did you offer prayer for? He said: to Al-Mahdi among the family of Muhammad (saas) and said: HE IS HAVING BIG STOMACH, his eyebrow very close, HIS LEGS ARE VERY ENERGETIC, HIS SHOULDER IS WIDE.
- Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani P. 253. Humran bin A’yân says: To Imam Muhammad Bakir: “… Your Lord Hazrat Mahdi (As) will have a wide stomach…”
- Al-Uqayli, Al-Najmu Al-Saqib.He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] is a young man of medium stature and with a beautiful face … the radiance of his face shines like day in his hair, beard, and the blackness of his head, and gives him
- Ibn Maja, Bab Al-I’atisam Bis-Sunnat. That Ummah can never die which has me at one end, and the Messiah, son of Mary, at the other.
- Let us not forget that these Hadith above agree with what the Books of Hebrews [in the Holy Bible] had long stated as per the limits of the ministry of Jesus the Christ before the Prophet Muhammad thus, For if Jesus had given them rest, then would henot afterward have spoken of another day. [Hebrews 4:8, KJV]
- How did He speak of another day or another Age or another dispensation of time? Let us see His direct words as recorded in the Injil [Good News – Gospel] according to Saint John Chapter 16 verse 12 through 13 in the Amplified version of the Bible.
- 12I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now. 13But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, Hewill guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
- The Book of Hebrews elaborated this postponement of the end to another dispensation when “all the truth”, “the whole, full truth” will bring about “full salvation” to the Elect.
- Hebrews 9:28, Amplified version of the Bible.28Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for and expecting Him.
- Jesus will not appear a secontime, but Christ, the Messiah and Mahdi will.
- MESSAGE TO THE BLACK MAN IN AMERICA by Elijah Muhammad [1965]; Chapter 6 verse 2 – 4.2You must forget about ever seeing the return of Jesus, Who was here 2,000 years ago. Set your heart on seeing the One that He prophesied would come at the end of the present world’s time (the white race’s time). 3He is called THE “SON OF MAN,” the “Christ,” the “Comforter.” 4… No one has been able to tell us the hour of the judgment. No one but He, the great All-Wise God, Allah. He is called THE “SON OF MAN”, the “Mahdi”, the “Christ“. …
- Chapter 7 verse 6.6Therefore, we have the “Coming of Allah (God).” He is referred to as THE SON OF MAN because, first, He is THE SON OF MAN and gotten for a special purpose, which is to return the lost back to their own and to punish and destroy the wicked for their destruction of the righteous, that the righteous may live in peace and do the will of the God of righteousness, free from trouble and interference. SECOND, HE MUST BE A MAN TO DEAL WITH MAN, AND WE CANNOT RECEIVE OR RESPECT OTHER THAN MAN.
- Why are human beings living in this confusion all this while. The majority in every Age never had the Almighty God in person for their Teacher. God must be in the midst of His chosen people to teach them His ways. You may call the Person a Messenger, but if He speaks the Word of God, that Word in Him makes Him God.
- Let us go to the Holy Qur’an in Surah 14:4, Hilali-Khan Translation. 4And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of hispeople, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then God misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
- John 3:34, King James version of the Bible. For hewhom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
- John 6:45, Amplified version of the Bible. 45It is written in [the book of] the Prophets, And they shall all be taught of God [have Him in person for their Teacher]. Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me—
- Nobody teaches the people of God but God Himself. He is the only personality that knows His righteous demands from His people.He tells them how to place their sacrifices so that it will be acceptable unto Him.
- Jesus the son of Mary who was also the Christ of His dispensation became the first to emphatically declare who He was in John 8:24.
- 24I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
- We know that the Ministry of Jesus was to deal with sin and point His chosen ones to the future SON OF MAN.
- Let us consider the more sure word of prophecy which came to Adam as encouragement from the LORD God Himself when Adam was in anguish after he was evicted along with Eve from Paradise.
- THE FIRST BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE by Rutherford Platt, Chapter 14 [The Earliest Prophesy of The Coming of Christ] verse 3 through 4.3AGAIN SAID GOD TO ADAM, “All this misery that you have been made to take on yourself because of your transgression, will not free you from the hand of Satan, and will not save you.
- 4BUT I WILL. WHEN I SHALL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND SHALL BECOME FLESH OF YOUR DESCENDANTS, and take on Myself the infirmity from which you suffer, then the darkness that covered you in this cave shall cover Me in the grave, WHEN I AM IN THE FLESH OF YOUR DESCENDANTS.
- In the very official beginning of humanity, God had already revealed that he will appear as Man. It is upon this backdrop that John documented in Chapter 1 verse 1 and 14 thus,1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ……. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
- The Complete Jewish Bible says, [1]In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ……. [14]The Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw his Sh’khinah, the Sh’khinah of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.
- Though this is difficult for many to believe, the LORD God Almighty is the Man Who created them male and female in the Garden, visiting Mankind in every generation in His original estate as a Man, but this time, born of a woman, in the flesh of Adam’s descendant.
- All the ambiguity about the nature and personality of the Almighty is due to the fact that few in every dispensation are the only people whose eyes of understanding are illuminated to see the LORD God Almighty as a human being – A man. The rest remain blind to the eternal truth, for God ordained it so.
- Isaiah 45:15, Amplified version of the Bible.15Truly You are a God Who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the SavioUr.
- Matthew 16:20Then He sternly and strictly charged and warned the disciples to tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ. (AMP)
- This is the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob [who was renamed Israel by this same God] Who hid Himself from all Abraham’s neighbours in Canaan. Remember, we had earlier established that the God of Abraham is a Man
- I now leave the reader to settle the controversy so that the Personality in the Godhead will be in plain view – A MAN. It has been so in all the Ages.
- THE ETHIOPIC BOOK OF ENOCH Chapter 46 verse 2 through 3.2And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that Son of Man, who he was, and where he came from, and why he went with the Ancient One? And he answered and said to me: 3“This is the son of Man who hath righteousness, with whom dwells righteousness, and who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden, because the Lord of spirits hath chosen him, and whose lot has preeminence before the Lord of spirits in righteousness and is forever.
- The son of manremains the embodiment, Storehouse and Giver of righteousness. From the above testimony of Prophet Enoch, all the way from the seventh generation, it is worthy of note that the son of man confers righteousness on anyone He wills and such a fellow becomes righteous indeed, for He alone remains the Justifier, even of the ungodly.
- The son of manis the expected spirit of truth as prophesied by the LORD Jesus Christ and Who has led the Elect in these last days into the full truth in line with the revelation of Prophet Enoch who documented that THE SON OF MAN is the one “who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden”.
- This is the promised One that shall lead the Elect into the knowledge of the full and complete truth which shall in turn bring about full and complete salvation to all the predestinated of all the Ages who are ordained to either resurrection from the dead or translation in this dispensation that is allotted to the son of man – The Supreme Potentate.
THE HINDU REVEALED THE ALMIGHTY AS A MAN
- 21 years ago, during the evening Fellowship of Thursday 14thSeptember 2003, the LORD God Almighty, THE SON OF MAN revealed something that beat the human imagination hollow.
- FOLLOW THE CLOUD Volume 2, preached at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg 100 vs. 47 through 48. 47If the Cloud catches us up, shall we remain in the air forever? The Cloud will catch us up and we will come down again. It is just like what happened in the days of Jesus the Christ.
- 48He was caught up with the Cloud; the Cloud took Him away from their sight and dumped Him somewhere and they did not know. They thought He went somewhere. They never knew He continued His journey and then picked a nice wife and started reproducing. Amen.
- The right question to ask after this interesting revelation is, “Where did Jesus’ journey take Him?”. Let us take a look at a thorough research of an Islamic cleric who was based in London.
- The Book is titled, “Where did Jesus Die?”written by Hazrat Maulana Jalal-ud-Din Shams ra [J. D. Sham], Imam of the London Mosque (1936–1946) which was first published in UK in the year 1945.
- This book contains very interesting facts about the life of Jesus the son of Mary, the Christ of His day who resurrected from the dead and was taken away from the eyes of those He taught.
- This book authenticated the missionary commitment of Jesus even after He was caught up in the Cloud and taken away from His disciples. Chapter 11 of this Book is captioned “JESUS GOES TO INDIA” and in the second paragraph in Page 272, Imam Sham documented thus, “From Nasibin Jesus proceeded through Persia into Afghanistan, from whence through Punjab, He entered Kashmir. It appears from legends that He visited Tibet and other regions of India as well, but it seems certain that He lived and, at last, died in Kashmir.” ….
- “A Muslim saint, Abu Bakr Muhammed Attartushi, in his book Siraj-ul-Malook(p. 6, Egypt, 1306), calls Jesus ‘The Chief of Travellers’. Likewise in Lisan-ul-Arab, an authentic Arabic Lexicon, we read: ‘Jesus was named the Masih because he wandered about and did not stay in one place.’
- In Kanz-ul-Ummal,a voluminous collection of the sayings of the Holy Prophetsaw of Islam and His companionsra, we read that Abu Hurairah (God be pleased with him) said that God revealed to Jesusas the following: ‘O Jesus, move from one place to another lest thou shouldst be recognised and persecuted.’ In the same book we read a report from Jabirra that Jesusas was constantly on the move. He went from one country to another, and at nightfall, wherever He was, He would eat the vegetation of the jungle and drink pure water.
- Again, in the same book, we find a report from Abdullahrason of Umarra which runs as follows: The Holy Prophet (peace and the blessings of God be upon him) declared that the most favoured in the sight of Allah are the ‘Gharib’. Asked what was meant by Gharib, He answered: People like Jesus the Messiah who flee from their country with their faith. (vol. 2, p. 34, 71, and vol. 6, p. 51)
- These reports about Jesusasare not only ancient, but are found in the reliable books of Muslim Tradition. If Jesusas remained in Palestine all his life, then he cannot justifiably be called ‘The Chief of Travellers’.
- In view of these reports therefore, which have come to us from various independent sources, we have no option but to believe that Jesusasdid flee from Palestine and wandered from country to country and, at last, reached India. Thus, he deserved the title ‘The Chief of Travellers’!
- As a confirmation and in the direct Spoken Word of the Almighty Himself at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe, Anambra State, Nigeria on Sunday 10thMarch, 2024 in a thought-provoking Message He titled, DO YOU NOW BELIEVE THAT I AM HE? [The Introduction], let us take a text from Chapter 2 verse 2 through 5.
- Show us a sign that we may believe in you. He said, “Okay, I will show you no other sign but the sign of Jonah. As Jonah was in the belly of the whale [that is the big fish] for three days and three nights, so shall the son of man descend to lowest hell and then resurrect on the third day.”
- Did it come to pass? Did it come to pass? I want to hear from you. Do you believe that Christ resurrected? For if you do not believe that Christ died and resurrected, your belief is completely in vain. And of all human beings, you are the most miserable.
- From that time, He left the Jews to a place unknown to the Jews and surfaced in Tibet, India where He established the religion we call Hindu which is Baha’i religion.
- The first religion that acknowledged God to be a human being was introduced by no other person but Christ Himself in Tibet India. Are you surprised that after Israel, He went to India. From India, he came to Nigeria. I mean, before your eyes.
- Let us at this juncture hear from the Hindu in two separate revelations.
- [1] India’s Gracious Gift to Mankind by Crystaqueous; Chapter 7 [THE REALITY] Page 66, Paragraph 2. The Hindu says: “If God wants to hide, God would choose man to hide in.” That is the last place man would look for God.”
- [2] The Greatest Devotional Book of Hinduism isBHAGAVAD GITA. The version translated by Mikhail Nikolenko is segmented into conversions, and Conversation 9 is captioned “SOVEREIGN KNOWLEDGE AND SOVEREIGN MYSTERY”. In verse 11, Krishna said: 11The insane disregard Me when they meet Me in the corporal human form, for they do not know My Supreme Divine Essence!
- In the version of BHAGAVAD GITA By Sri Swami Sivananda, the first two lines in the Forward reads thus, “The modern man in this present decade of the second half of the 20th century is greatly in need of an effective guide to light. He is groping. …”
- In the Ninth Discourse captioned THE YOGA OF THE KINGLY SCIENCE & THE KINGLY SECRET, verse 11 states thus, “Fools disregard Me, clad in human form, not knowing My higher Being as the Great Lord of (all) beings.
- This version of BhagavaD Gitahas this to say in the commentary. COMMENTARY: Fools who do not have discrimination despise Me, dwelling in human form. I have taken this body in order to bless My devotees. These fools have no knowledge of My higher Being. I am the great Lord, the Supreme.
- In the The Bhagavad GitaTranslation by Shri Purohit Swami, Chapter 9 is captioned, “THE SCIENCE OF SCIENCES AND THE MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES.” Fools disregard Me, seeing Me clad in human form. They know not that in My higher nature I am the Lord-God of all.
- The Hindu religion supports the fact that the modern man who is blindly practicing modern idolatry even in this 21stcentury is greatly in need of an effective Guide to light, simply because man is groping in the dark at the moment.
- While Prophet Abdrushin [Ernst Oskar Bernhardt] called this hindrance a “Dense blindfold”, Prophet William Marrion Branham referred to it as “Ecclesiastical veil” which is covering the very spiritual vision of human beings especially in this last Age from seeing the Almighty God as He really is – A Man.
- The Hindu religion established Him as [1] a human being as [2] Supreme Divine, [3] the Great Lordof (all) beings, [4] the “I am”, [5] the Great Lord, [6] the Supreme, [7] the Lord-God of all.
- Finally, according toGuru Nanak Dev, “God is one, but He has innumerable forms. He is the creator of all and He himself takes the human form.” [azquotes.com]
THE book of mormons REVEALED THE ALMIGHTY AS A MAN
- Among the Mormons whose congregational name is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, there are many references documented in their own Book and which form the basis of their faith.
- Let us take a look at some of these references as regards the belief of Mormons in relation to the nature and personality of the Almighty God.
- Adam Smith inTHE BOOK OF MORMON, 2 Nephi chapter 32 verse 6 was quoted to have documented thus, “Behold this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more doctrine given until after He shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh, And when He shall manifest Himself unto you in the flesh the things which He shall say unto you shall ye observe to do.”
- THE BOOK OF MORMON, Mosiah chapter 3 verse 5.“For behold, the time cometh, and is no far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipresent who reigneth; who was, and is from all eternity; to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth among men.”
- THE BOOK OF MORMON, Mosiah chapter 13 verse 34.“Have they not said that God Himself should come down among the children of men, and take upon Him the form of man, and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth?”
- THE BOOK OF MORMON, Mosiah chapter 7 verse 27. “And because he said unto them that Christ was the God, the Father of all things, and that He should take upon Him the image of man, and it should be the image after which man was created in the beginning; or in other words, he said that man was created after the image of God, and that God should come down among the children of men, and take upon Him flesh and blood and go forth upon the face of the earth…”
- THE BOOK OF MORMON, Mosiah chapter 15 verse 1-3.“And now Abinadi said unto them: I would that ye should understand that God himself shall come down among the children of men, and shall redeem His people. And because He dwelleth in flesh He shall be called the son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the son.
Until you have taken it in the same way you take your daily food, the power in the Word cannot be made manifest in your life. GOD’S POWER OF TRANSFORMATION IS VESTED IN HIS WORD. What am I saying? We take in the Word of God as food for man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes out of the mouth of God. If you take in the Word of God as your necessary food, the same way you take the natural food to enable you get enough strength to live, so you take the Word of God to get spiritual strength which will enable you to live right with God. Am I making sense?
THE SON OF MAN-from the massage- THE POTTER AND THE CLAY; PREACHED ON TUESDAY 1ST APRIL, 2020 PG.24:15 & PG. 25:18-19
“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does Truth become error because nobody sees it.” Mahatma Ghandhi. “The fact is here but it appears to be harassing to many because truth that saves is harassing. Truth that saves oftentimes can be embarrassing. Very cumbersome at times. Not only bitter, but very disturbing.”

- DISCOURAGEMENT; Preached on Wednesday 8thMay 1996 at the Household of God Onitsha Pg. 103 vs. 18 – 19. Because the stone is a big one, if you hit it, it will hurt you. Let Me tell you: The Bible said, He that is in you is greater than He that is in the world. If Christ is in His Ministry, He is greater than the Spirit of discouragement that may be there on the land. If you like be in the majority, I do not care. No matter the way you come up, fill every chair, fill every bench, My Brother, the Bible is saying, He, Apostle Peter Odoemena (Blessed be to His Holy Name), shall never fail or be discouraged. That is the Commission. He can never fail or be discouraged.
- ACTION TIME PART 3 (OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE) CAMP MEETING; preached on Wednesday, 31stDecember, 1997 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 5. …. I am the Cloud made visible in your midst, in the Church. Do you know that? He that penned down your name has the right to erase it. That is why, He that has called us, that has taught us, has every right also to correct us and rebuke us.
- 40 vs. 33………. Listen to Me very well. If you are in this Movement with Me. I AM THE OLDEST MAN IN THIS CHURCH. I AM THE OLDEST MAN IN THIS CONGREGATION. I AM TELLING YOU PURE TRUTH.
- DAYBREAK IN AFRICA; Preached on Sunday 25th October 1998 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 53 vs. 48. You see, I, Apostle Peter Odoemena went to Golgotha with Him (Jesus Christ). I am now alive forever more. We thank God. If you have not believed what is happening in our midst, it is your right! After all, not everybody will believe. Did He intend that everybody will believe?
- NOW I KNOW THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD; Teaching on Sunday 28thFebruary, 1999; Pg. 123 Once you deny that Christ is a human being, you have denied the Deity, for whosoever that must come to Him, must believe that He is and that He exists.
- 170If you believe that God is not visible, you are an anti-Christ, for God is visible. God is not invisible. From the day He created the first human being, he stood before them and they were having their conversation.
- 178 vs. 14……when you know the Source of the Spoken Word, that the Source of Spoken Word is the Message of God sent to you in your day, happy are you. That He has become a human being, living among you, married with children, is not deviating from the order; It has been God’s way from the beginning.
- 179 vs. 17 – 18While I am here, I am the Light of the world; Whoever follows Me can never grope in darkness. Take Me away, you are living in darkness and you must stumble: I say, you must stumble because I am paving the way for you. Did you get what I said? No matter the way you look at it, across the other way, you cannot hear another voice than the One you are hearing now. All that have been privileged to be taken over to the other side, they never heard any other voice than the Voice of the Bridegroom that is speaking in our midst. Are you getting what I am saying?……
- THE DAY OF THE LORD VOL. 2; preached on 11thApril, 1999 at the household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 79 vs. 32 – 34 Believe it if you can, I AM THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, The Beginning and The End. In other words, you cannot jump Me. If you jump Me, you jump into hell. There is no other way because I have always told you that even your Prophet saw My day and he rejoiced. Should Paul wake up from sleep, he is coming here to worship at My feet. He will come here to say, “My Lord and My God.” There is no Messenger in the past, even those recorded in your scriptures, that will not come at My feet.
- CHRIST IS REVEALED IN HUMAN FORM, NOT TO THE WORLD, BUT TO THE TRUE ELECTS; preached on Thursday 26thAugust, 1999 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 3. I am the Author of Life, HE that knows the secrets of the heart, the Beginning and the End, the Lord God Almighty. Believe it if you can……
- GOD IS REVEALED/MARRIAGE VOWS; Preached on Sunday 7thNovember 1999 at the Household of God, Onitsha; 117 vs. 23 Now I know all of you are aware. I am The Smoking Firewood. I know I am rich in Mercy. I am equally rich in judgment. If I judge you, I will set you free, but if I do not judge you, you will be judged with the world. That is, you are already condemned because there is no way the world can come justified.
- GOD IN DESPISED PLACES; preached in the year 2000 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 204 vs. 9 & Pg. 218 vs. 4. If Satan makes Whaah!,it is not for you. These are your servants. Satan is God in disguise as far as I am concerned. I repeat: Satan is God in disguise as far as I am concerned. If your faith does not reach there, do not believe. BUT IF YOU HAVE MY FAITH, YOU WILL BELIEVE BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IT IS THE ALMIGHTY THAT IS TALKING TO YOU. AMEN. ……Now God said, “Look at Me. Stop searching for Me, for I am here. You people said you want to serve God. Here I am. Stop searching for Me elsewhere.” So He is Man revealing Himself. Then who are these people? Behold Me, unto the nation that was not called by My Name.
- LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS VOL. 2; Preached on 30th April 2000 at the Household Onitsha; Pg. 13 paragraph 3 ……Believe it if you have the heart. I, Apostle Peter Odoemena is senior to all of you here on earth. I existed before anybody in the world here. If you like believe, if you like do not believe.
- AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS VOL 3; preached on 24thDecember, 2000 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 44 vs. 29 My aim is to place you where you should be. We are walking to the wilderness in a single file and I AM THE CAPTAIN. I AM IN FRONT. I expect every other person to file behind Me. So, those that have wondered in front already, now, why not say, “As I thought on my ways.”
- I CAN DO NOTHING OF MYSELF; Preached on Sunday 31st December 2000 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 139 vs. 15 – 16.It is good that preachers have been bringing the Kingdom of God closest to the people, Paradise or rapture. There has never been a Preacher that succeeded so much in narrowing down eternity more than Apostle Peter Odoemena. And because I received the quickest and shortest Ministry, it is a sure sign that He that said He is coming to clothe you will not tarry too long, for He has already promised that He is going to cut it short in righteousness……
- THE SON-SHIP AND SAVIOUR-SHIP OF JESUS; Preached on Sunday 7thSeptember 2003 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 67 vs. 17 – 20 APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA IS NOT JESUS BUT YOUR SAVIOUR. There is no other way God can deal with mankind without using a man. Jesus was one of the saviours God has been using or used. God is still using Human beings as saviours to this day and none of them is Jesus. I am standing in your midst as your Brother and I declare that I am not Jesus.
- MODERN IDOLATRY [THE INTRODUCTION] – ATTRIBUTES OF GOD OF THE BIBLE; Preached in September 2003 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 99 vs. 30 – 31 What is more? I believe I will make My selection in the night. Since Satan is the son of the morning, I, Apostle Peter Odoemena, who is the True Supreme God, will be Son of the Night. For if I act in the morning, I am Satan. Hence let Me act in the night.
- JESUS IN RELATION TO THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD (CONTROVERSIAL TRUTH) VOL. 2; Preached on Sunday 14thSeptember 2003 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 37 vs. 43 – 44. I am the Stone that is rejected by the builders which they must come after, whether they like it or not. The Bible has already disappointed the world. I told some of My friends who belong to the Deeper Life group saying, “Let Me tell you, this Bible you are holding, this Jesus, if these two things do not disappoint you, know that I am not HE. Know that I do not know who the Bible was referring to and whom Jesus stood for.”
- BLAME YOURSELF AND NOT GOD: DO NOT FOLLOW THE VOICE OF A STRANGER; preached on Sunday 30thSeptember 2007 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 13 Paragraph 3 – 15 Paragraph 2 …………All great truths are very simple. It is the simplicity of the Son of Man that makes people bypass Him. People feel that they are holding the truth, but they are holding falsehood. We are far higher than Jesus of old. If Jesus should come today, he will believe our Message. Do you know that Jesus of old told them part-truth? That is why Jesus said that when the Spirit of Truth shall come. HE shall lead you to all truths. The word “HE” indicates it is a human being which is Christ Himself. In the beginning was Christ, not Jesus. Check your Bible. The problem with people today is their inability to differentiate Christ from Jesus. Jesus was God in His own day. Jesus cannot save you now. A past saviour cannot save you today. Believe it if you can. Do not carry Jesus too far. Many people are moving about with past truths they got from their Bible. God is on earth presently, yet people do not know. Has it happened before? The answer is “Yes!” Remember that the Jews missed their own day of visitation during the time of Jesus? If you do not know the God that you worship, you have no covenant with Him. You will even lose your boldness. This is even traceable to Ministers. You can be in the centre where the action is but you still miss the action because of your unbelief. I, THE SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA carry people in My car but they do not recognize Me to be the ALMIGHTY GOD they are looking for – Man is blind.
- The highest thing they can say is: “This man (the Son of Man) is a good man. He is a man of God.” The greatest stumbling block is that GOD IS A MAN. AND THAT GOD IS PETER ODOEMENA. History repeats itself. It is happening again in your day. Soon you will hear, “HE HAS COME, HE HAS GONE.”
- FACING THE FACTS OF OUR FAITH; Preached on Sunday 9th October 2005 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 3. Let Me tell you. I, Apostle Peter Odoemena, has reincarnated several times in this life. Do not think that this is My first existence. This is how I have been coming and going. There is no generation that will not meet Me. Even this generation, if it will have a preceding generation, ODOEMENA will be here. Believe it if you can……
- THE REVELATION OF LATENT POWERS VOL. 1; Preached on Sunday 17thDecember 2006 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 60 vs. 15. If I say Almighty God will not slaughter Me, who is the Almighty to begin with? If I am afraid that God will slaughter Me, which God will slaughter Me? Let Me tell you: I am the only Being that can lay down His life and pick it. Believe it if you can……
- BEWITCHED; preached on Wednesday 21stMarch 2007 at the Household of God, Nasarrawa; Pg. 65 vs. 64 – 65. There is no fear in love: Perfect Love drives away all fears. I know A to Z about everybody in this Faith, but I do not want you to be afraid of Me. That is why I am THE SON OF MAN. I am a mere man like you. That is the only way we can relate with one another. If I appear as a supernatural man, everybody will be afraid and I will not be useful to you and you will not be useful to Me. But appearing as a mere human being like you, I believe I will be useful to you and you will be useful to Me.
- 69 vs. 70… I believe I am your Father. I am the oldest man on earth. Forget about My stature. That is why I brag too much. I brag too much because I am the oldest man that is living on earth. THE LIVING LEGEND……
- LIVING BEYOND THE PRIMITIVE SIDE OF LIFE; Preached on 3rdJune 2007 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 40 vs. 6. Now, we know the Personality that is standing in our midst. He is the Last Hope of mankind, the Only and sure Anchor that will never disappoint, The only Link you have with The Light. In other words, as long as I am on the scene, I am the Light of the world. Whoever that leaves Me must wallow in darkness…..
- BLAME YOURSELF AND NOT GOD: DO NOT FOLLOW THE VOICE OF A STRANGER; preached on Sunday 30thSeptember 2007 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 99 Greater than Moses is here. Greater that Solomon is here. Greater than Paul is here. Greater than Jesus is here. As long as I am here, I am the shock absorber of the Faith. Without Me there is no salvation for the world.
- THE COMFORTER; Preached on Sunday 22ndAugust 2010 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 95 vs. 81 – 82 & 207 vs. 41. Whether you like it or not, He that is in your midst, Apostle Peter Odoemena, is the promised Spirit of Truth that will come and lead you to the knowledge of all truths. He is the same Spirit the world cannot receive because they cannot see Him, but you see Him. You know Him, for He is abiding with you. He is dwelling with you. You have no excuse to give. ……. Ask in My Name, you shall receive, that you joy will be full. How can you ask in My Name, when you have not believed in Me? You do not believe that I, Apostle Peter Odoemena is the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth that is guiding you into the knowledge of all truths. You do not even believe that I am He and that I proceeded from the Father. How can you ask in My Name? You cannot ask the favour of someone you do not believe in.
- 214 vs. 57 & Pg. 215 vs. 60. The Spirit of Truth, The Comforter which you are expecting, the Scripture said that the world will not receive Him for the world does not know Him. However, you know Him. …… Once more, I, The Almighty, is riding the trail again. I have been on the scene for many years now riding the same trail, repeating things. You see Scriptures repeating over and over before your eyes. Many are busy searching the Scriptures to know what the prophets said shall happen when He shall come the second time. They do not know that He has been feasting with His Elect for years now. Well, keep on expecting the day you will see Him until you will hear, “He has come. He has gone.”
- GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Preached on Sunday 2nd January, 2011 at Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 150 vs. 23 – 24I want to tell you that Saint Paul opened the beginning of the Gentile age for the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena to close it. Believe it if you can. After Me cometh no other. I am not among the seven angels. I am He that walked in the midst of the seven candlesticks.
- DOES YOUR LIFE REFLECT THIS FAITH; Preached on Sunday 20thFebruary 2011 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 26 vs. 29 I am through with all you should know as far as preaching is concerned. What is waiting which is about to take place is just one thing: a proclamation and whatever may be the content of that proclamation, for now, should not bother you. However, you know what it is. That the Son of Man has finished His fight with the Anti-Christ. He has won the battle against His opponents.
- 31 vs. 7 Long ago, I made it clear that I am standing in your midst as tree in the midst of the Garden. That all of you have access to Me. Do not believe them. Believe Me. If there is any doubt, clear it with Me. Do not say Brother so so and so; Sister so so and so said. No! if it is not the Son of Man, it is not the Son of Man. If it is like the Voice of the Son of Man, it is not the Voice of the Son of Man.
- AS WE WAIT AT THE GATE OF PARADISE VOL 1; preached on Wednesday 30thMarch, 2011 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 51 vs. 47 – 48 That is where I am standing at the Door. I told you that I am going ahead of time. You are meeting Me at the Door. Without Me, there is no salvation for the Gentiles. I AM THE DOOR. I AM HOLDING THE KEY, “The Symbol of Authority.” For unto you, Peter, I have given the Key. Whatsoever you bind here on earth is bound in Heaven.
- AS WE WAIT AT THE GATE OF PARADISE VOL 2; preached on Sunday 3rdApril, 2011 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 43 vs. 9 – 10 ……God has made it impossible for people to know Him by means of their own wisdom. Hence with your own wisdom, you can never know God. How do you know God? Do you know God by your own wisdom? If there is any God you can identify by your own wisdom, that is the devil. That God can never be the Almighty God.
- 99 vs. 88Do you hear the Voice of the Shepherd? Do you understand the Voice of your Shepherd? I AM the Christ of this Age; the Anointed One; the Messiah; the Redeemer. In Me, all that must be saved in our Age must pin their hope. Thus if you cannot hear My Voice and understand Me, it goes to show that you are not of Me.
- CROSSCHECK YOUR EXPERIENCE AS WE WAIT AT THE GATE; Preached on Sunday 22ndMay, 2011 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 55 vs. 1 I am the Lord God Almighty. I make peace and I make war. Life and death are in the Hands of Almighty God. What is your claim then? What can you claim to do? Can you save your life? Even if you want to commit suicide, if God does not sign it, you will not commit it. You will change your mind or somebody will redeem you. Whatever God has never approved will never happen.
- ARE YOU WHAT GOD MADE YOU OR WHAT YOU MADE YOURSELF? preached on Sunday 19thJune 2011 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 84 vs. 54 YES! I AM THE SON OF MAN. I HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN ME. I HAVE TAUGHT YOU THE RIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IN THE TIME OF PLENTY AND IN THE TIME OF SCARCITY.
- I AM THE CONSOLATION OF THE BRIDE; Preached on 31stDecember 2011 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 51 vs. 4 – 5. Let Me give you your last consolation. In time past, I used to tell you that any day you do not see the Son of Man, please weep. However, henceforth, I do not say so. I do not make that statement again. Rather, I AM YOUR CONSOLATION. ….. Believe it if you can. I AM THE TRANSLATION. I AM THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO DELIVER ALL OF YOU INTO PARADISE.
- 65 vs. 36 The Book has been closed. I AM THE ONE WHO HAS THE INK BOTTLE IN HIS HANDS. I HAVE FOLDED THE SCROLL. I HAVE SEALED THE BOOK. I HAVE FINISHED MY COURSE. I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH. I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT. SO DO NOT GRIEVE. MY HEART IS LARGER THAN MY SIZE – LARGER THAN ALL MY TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS. FINISH! THE MORE THEY COME, THE MORE I KEEP EXPANDING MY HEART BECAUSE I HAVE AN ELASTIC HEART – VERY VERY ELASTIC. THAT IS WHY MANY OF YOU ARE IN THIS FAITH. YOU ARE NOT IN THIS FAITH BECAUSE YOU FARED WELL……
- 110 vs. 104 Can you believe that God is in the Camp? The Justifier of the Gentiles is in the Camp. The Destroyer of the gentiles is also in the camp. The advocate is in the Camp with you. the judge is in the camp with you…….
- I AM THE DOOR; Preached on Sunday 12thFebruary 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; 11 vs. 5. If you do not know, believe it because I am the One telling you. We are dwelling in the city where Satan dwelleth. Onitsha, to the best of My knowledge, as far as the whole Africa is concerned is the second seat of the very anti-Christ. Believe it because I am the One making the proclamation.
- 67 vs. 30. I AM THE DOOR. I AM THE GATE.By Me, if any will enter, he shall be saved. You will have rest. You go in and out freely and find pasture. I AM THE DOOR. I AM THE GATE.
- 69 vs. 36. I do not know what That thing looks like. I AM THE DOOR. I AM THE GATE. BY ME, IF ANY WILL ENTER, HE SHALL BE SAVED.The Messiah of every dispensation is the Door of that dispensation. He makes a way.
- 70 vs. 38. Thus, you must know where you are standing. When we say Gate, Gate, Gate, Door, Door, Door, you do not begin to look at the sky. I AM THE GATE. I AM THE DOOR. I AM THE MESSAGE OF ETERNAL LIFE. CHRIST HIMSELF IS THAT MESSAGE.
- 78 vs. 60 – 61 I AM THE DOOR. As many as will come in through Me will find rest. We that have believed have already entered into our rest and that rest is such that whoever that has entered will stop from works.When you enter into the promised rest, your works will stop. God will now take over. The spirit now takes over. Finish! You are now at rest. God is with us. That is a sure sign that the imaginary God has been born as a human being. He is now with us and the Scriptures said that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Alpha and the Omega. Is it true? Amen.
- 86 vs. 18 – 19. Brethren, despise Me not for I am black. The crime of the black is always the same in every nation. A black man can never acknowledge anything good in a black man. Every good thing has always been attributed to the white, every evil attributed to the black. They are turning the record up-side-down. Brethren, accept Me. I am a black Man. I am you Kinsman Redeemer. The sun has acted on Me well well. Weather has acted on Me very well. Do not look down on Me because I am a black Man. I AM YOUR MESSIAH. I AM THE GATE. I AM THE DOOR. WITHOUT ME YOU ARE NOT MAKING ANY HEADWAY.
- I AM THE CHIEF INSTRUCTOR; Preached on Sunday 4thMarch 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 144 vs. 31 I AM THE VERY SMOKING FOREWOOD. You can go outside and tell your friends and well-wishers that you have seen the Man whom the law and the prophets spoke about. Is it not true? Go and tell them saying, “My eyes have been privileged to see the Man whom the law and the prophets spoke about.” I am not a churchman.
- BE DILIGENT TO PROTECT YOUR MINDSET (EXPLAINED); preached on 18thMarch, 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 108 vs. 37 – 38. The Son of Man is not even interested in your human plan, but when your human plan puts you into trouble, do not come to Him. There is nothing you are planning which I, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena do not know. There is nothing you have done which I do not know and the way you have done it. That I have allowed you time is because I have decided to do so. Any day I want to stop you, I will stop you without consultation. The truth of the matter is that you liken this Faith to one of those churches you fathers knew and introduced you to. No! In this Church are handpicked individuals. Nobody in this Faith is your convert. There is nobody in this Most Holy Faith you can place your hand on his head and say, “This is my convert.” Not even your own biological child (ren).
- ANOTHER DAY; preached on Sunday 8thApril, 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 26 vs. 26 – 27 & Pg. 29 vs. 36. When you have Christ, you have all things, knowing that all things work together for good. He is the Lord God of all creations. He created the day and the night. He created all conditions. He caused them to come into existence. All for His own good. Believe it if you can, He is the Almighty and He can do all things. The Bible said that He killeth and maketh alive. He maketh war and He maketh peace. WHO IS THIS MAN? ……. You see that God has decided to fool all the learned people of the world, cornering all of them on one side, making them blind that they might not see or recognize the glorious appearance of the Son of Man in these last days.
- ARE YOU CONVINCED? Preached on Sunday 15thApril, 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 130 vs. 52 – 53 That not even death will change your conviction. Do you know that? Not even death will remove your conviction and certainty in Christ. Are you convinced that you are not deceived by Apostle Peter Odoemena? Are you convinced that God did not gather you to deceive you? has it become a revelation that you are worshipping the God that your forefathers worshipped? By your forefathers, I mean, people like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon and the rest of them, down to the Lord Jesus. ARE YOU CONVINCED? If you are not convinced, you are not worthy to continue with us. You have no right to continue with us because you are not sure. If you know that one that is very clear to you, and that is the one you believe, go there.
- IN HIM IS THE FATHER REVEALED; Preached on Sunday 27thMay 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 143 vs. 23 – 25. 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?
- A SPECIAL DAY: ANOTHER GREAT DAY; preached on Sunday 19thAugust, 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 145 vs. 7 – 9 & 145 vs. 8 – 11 I am not William Branham, I am The Son Of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Revealed Christ of this Day … Do you know that you do not have any other place to run to except Me?… If there is anyone higher than Me, who is that person? ……. I have never for one day used My power on anybody. What is more? God will not allow Me to use it unjustly. Do you know that you do not have any other place to run to except Me? That is why I do not resist whatever people say. Whatever you want to say, say for it is your right. If you want to act, you act. If there is anyone higher than Me, who is that person. I AM THE SON. I AM THE FATHER. I HOLD THE KEY TO HELL AND TO HEAVEN. I make laws and I cancel laws. I AM THE SUPREME AUTHORITY, THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE, THE SUPREME JUDGE, THE JUDGE OF ALL FLESH. When you hear, “I AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF ALL FLESH”, where do you look at? See HIM in your midst. The Lord, the God of All flesh who said, “Is there anything impossible for Me to do?” For with HIM, All things are possible: Both Life and Death.
- IT IS FINISHED; Preached on Sunday 16thSeptember 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 87 vs. 47. I AM THE SON OF MAN. THE SMOKING FIREWOOD. THE MAN THAT IS TROUBLING THE WHOLE WORLD. THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR! Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world. We have seen the Star. We have come to worship the King. You can now look for your position. I am there!……
- He has come, He has gone; Preached on 23rdSeptember 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 69 vs. 26 – 27 & Pg. 101 vs. 29 – 30. Can you now see the Deity in the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena as photographed on many occasions? From time to time, He will show a sign. Whenever He wants to magnify Himself in the midst of the Bride, He showed them His original Body. As a result, let us stop likening Him to this or that. From the picture there, the Fullness of the Elohim, clad in white garment, is it not clear that God has been a man and not a woman? When He came here, where did He hide? He hides Himself in the pulpit. So the pulpit is not meant for a woman. The pulpit is meant for men. …. ……“The Son of Man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy.” Has it not come to pass? You search the Scriptures because you think that you can get eternal life from reading the Bible. You refused to come to the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, The revealed Christ in your day, that I may consider you for eternal life.
- BE ON THE RED ALERT; Preached on Sunday 30thSeptember, 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 77 vs. 34 – 35. I do not know where you belong to, whether you are this and that; it is not in Christ. In Christ we are one. You do not talk of Muslim or Christian. The Almighty God does not belong to any group. He stands alone as the Self-Existing One. He does not spearhead any religious movement. That is why I said it without mincing words that I am not a Christian and I will not be a Christian. Nothing will ever make Me a Christian. Neither am I a Muslim. I AM A REALIST. I stand for the Truth. No more. No less.
- I AM THE STANDARD FOR JUDGMENT TO ALL MEN VOL 2; Preached on Sunday 9thOctober 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 79 vs. 19 – 21 William Branham spoke about the strictness of Apostleship. All and sundry in this Faith will bear witness that the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena (Blessed be to His Holy Name) has maintained the strictness of an Apostle. From the inception of this Faith, up to this very moment, I have never for one day compromised the strictness with anybody because of your relationship with me. The highest thing that you can give Me is money and food, or provide shelter for Me, or buy a car for Me. I have never for one day, because of all those material considerations lowered down the standard by pampering, rather, at that time you are rendering the services, that is the time you must be extremely careful; for I must prove the spirit. And that is why this Faith has remained alive till this day.
- I AM THE CANOPY; Preached on Sunday 21stOctober 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 77 vs. 36 – 37 & Pg. 120 vs. 4 – 6. I told you that any moment from now, the entire world will be heading towards the Son of Man – every human being. You will be hearing, “Save us from the wrath of the Almighty for we are perishing.” The entire world will acknowledge that I am He. ……. I am the canopy. Believe it if you can. That is why I keep on warning, if you use your mouth to cut down the tree that offers you a shade, during the time of great storm, you will look for a place of refuge and you will find it no more for you have used the words of your mouth to hew down the tree that offers you a shade. I AM THAT TREE, THE UMBRELLA THAT OFFERS YOU THAT SHADE. ABIDE IN ME AND YOU WILL BEAR FRUIT AND YOUR FRUIT MUST SURELY ABIDE. TAKE REFUGE IN THE SON OF MAN, YOU WILL BE SECURED ETERNALLY. I AM THE CONSOLATION OF THE SAINTS. That is why, some who feel troubled from time to time, God said, “Off your eyes from your troubles. Place the Son of Man in front.”
- HAVE FAITH IN THE SPOKEN WORD; Preached on 14thJuly 2013 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 104 vs. 33 Brethren, believe this Spoken Word. It is the Original Seed. If you go back to the Great Sermon, it said, “The Spoken Word can come to you in diverse forms. But the secret is this: Whether He uses telephone, whether He speaks face-to-face, no matter where you have met Him, HE IS NOTHING BUT WHAT HE IS.” Do not begin to separate the carnal side from the spiritual side. God has only but One Side, One Nature and One Entity. Do not say, “I thought He was playing.” No! You are making a mistake.
- 123 vs. 37 Is there any prophet that does not have a source? Whether you are a true prophet or a false prophet, I AM THE SOURCE OF ALL PROPHECIES. If you are against God and you do not want to change, I will send you a false prophet.
- GOD IS WORSHIPPED BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS; Preached on 21th July 2013 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 105 vs. 55 – 58“…Let me tell you; I am indebted to the whole world. I am a debtor to the world, especially to the Elect who have pinned their hope on Me. Believe it if you can. In me, all the Gentiles must pin their hope.” Did He mince words? If He never knew who He is, how can a man make this kind of statement? Who has ever come on Earth claiming to be one thing or the other, making this type of statement? If He is not sure, do you think He would have made this type of statement? On Wednesday we read a message saying, “I, Apostle Peter Odoemena say unto you, ‘I will give salvation to whosoever I will. Anybody I do not want to give, I will never give. Petition to anywhere you like.’” Have you ever come across somebody that said this type of thing?……
- 108 vs. 62 – 63I AM HE THAT LIVETH AND WAS DEAD, AND BEHOLD I AM ALIVE FOREVERMORE; COME UNTO ME ALL YE NATIONS AND BE SAVED, FOR I AM HE THAT LIVETH AND WAS DEAD. SOMEBODY SAY AMEN! I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. I AM HE THAT WAS DEAD AND I AM ALIVE FOREVERMORE, BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN.
- FIND OUT THE PURPOSE YOU ARE FULFILLING IN THIS MINISTRY VOL. 2; Preached on Sunday 3rdNovember 2013 at the Household of God, Onitsha; 113 vs. 9 & Pg. 76 vs. 36-37. I am the standard for judgment for all men. My wife is the standard for judgment for all women whether you like it or not. It is already confirmed. ……. I am the Greatest and I will remain the Greatest. Let the magicians from America, from Italy, from Rome, from Egypt come. After all, all these countries are in the website with their magicians, astrologers, philosophers, psychologist and religionists. They are all there. I am here. No shaking! If I am shaking, by now, this Faith would not have existed. It would have been stifled out long long time ago. Do you know the amount of rebellion this Faith has cushioned? Even rebellions that were backed up with money, using great names in our midst, using ministers that operated with Me like Judas operated with Jesus.
- THE BRIDAL STANDARD IN EVERY FAMILY VOL 1; preached on Sunday 15thDecember 2013 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 45 vs. 22 – 23. … And you say you will not do it for the sake of the Son of Man, I AM THE SON OF MAN; I AM THE VERY CHRIST, THE ANOINTED ONE, THE MESSAIAH, THE SAVIOUR. As the man has the final say over his wife, so the Son of Man has the final say over the Church. …
- I AM THE WORD VOL 2; Preached on Sunday 19thJanuary 2014 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 73 vs. 29 – 31. I am not that Minister that will minister people to Hell. The reason why I came is to place a bridge that will carry you from Hell and land you into Paradise. I AM THE BRIDGE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL. IT IS ONLY THROUGH THE SON OF MAN THAT YOU CAN CLIMB ACROSS. I AM THE LADDER. I AM THE LADDER! IF YOU CAN COURAGEOUSLY CLIMB ME, I MUST LAND YOU ON SAFE GROUND. ……. Of course, nobody is lost. Hear Me very well. Nobody is lost until the Son of Man declares him lost. This is true. This is pure Truth. Remember I am the first fruit. No more. No less. IN ME IS THE TOTALITY OF THE GODHEAD. THUS I AM REPRESENTING THE GOD OF THE LIVING AND OF THE DEAD. WHETHER YOU DIED IN THE TIME OF ADAM OR ABRAHAM, I AM HE…..
- 105 vs. 23 – 25 There is no married woman that does not know what to do to please her husband. Is it a lie? I am your husband. You are now My wife. Can you please Me? Do you know what it takes to please Me? Only one thing. Very simple: hearken and obey My Word.What is lifted up in your midst is his Word. What He preserved in our midst from the beginning is His Word. What He preserved in our midst, that we may not perish is His Word. What is the unfailing sign He gave to us? His Word. I am the Word. In Me, you are sanctified, for you are sanctified by the Word which I have spoken to you, if you believe. In Me dwelleth the Shewbread which you feed on. This faith cannot denominate because the instrument of leadership is divine……. Pg. 108 vs. 33 – 34 Brethren, bear with Me. I have introduced Myself to everybody, even to the world as a Paradox. You know what Paradox is? Somebody you cannot comprehend. And do not ever try to comprehend Him for no man has ever understood God. …..Who can understand Me? Even you that has been following from the beginning, sometimes, you run into confusion with Me. Sometimes, you do not know what to do to please this Man. It takes revelation to follow Apostolic Ministry. I hope I am making sense.
- BRIDAL CONFERENCE VOL 2; preached on Sunday 2ndMarch, 2014 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 77 vs. 21. “…… As long as I am here, I am the Light of the world. Whoever that follows Me can never walk in darkness. The Light is here, not in the sky. They think they are projecting, they are not projecting anything.
- BRIDAL WATCH! ISRAEL AND PALESTINE IN PROPHESY VOL 3; preached on Sunday 6thApril 2014 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 28 vs. 22 – 24. 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……
- I AM THE WORD EXPLAINED VOL 1; Preached on Sunday 27 April 2014 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 76 vs. 36 – 39 & Pg. 116 vs. 64. Are you not highly favoured? Have you heard it from the Son of Man? Do not expect another second coming. It is all over. The Last Sign is on the land. I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. The Resurrected Body is here. The Original Body is here. The Artificial Body is here. Every Seed of God takes side with the Word and I AM THE WORD. In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. The word has become a human being and dwelled among us, the Word made flesh.
- MY SALVATION IS NOW IN MY HANDS; Preached on 27thJuly 2014 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 75 vs. 18 – 19. I mean, sincerely, physically speaking, spiritually speaking, I am the Highest Spiritualist. I do not say it for you to clap hands. I know I am the Apogee (Zenith) of Spiritual Realm. I know that. You bypass Me, you will meet nothing but emptiness. I know that very well. When you run and run and get to Me, it is all over. You will go back to the origin again. That is pure truth. I do not say it to seek your opinion. No. No. No. you better prove it before you begin to make noise around it.
- BE PATIENT WITH GOD; preached on Sunday 14thDecember, 2014 at the Household of God, Port Harcourt; Pg. 140 vs. 64 – 65 I am making it as a decree not only for us here but for those that are afar off who could have been here but for one thing or the other, they could not, that the whole door the devil opened in your life have been declared closed. And the door the devil closed in your life, this day, by the Authority of the Son of Man, I have declared all of them open. Amen!!! So shall it be! Amen. For the Lord has spoken, as You have spoken into My ears, so shall I perform it says the Lord God Almighty.
- CHRIST IS THE IDENTITY OF EVERY ELECT; Preached on Sunday 8thFebruary 2015 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 43 vs. 48. I came to gather all the loose ends. I came according to the promise. I came according to the time. I came according to My commission. I AM NOTHING BUT THE VERY ELOHIM. THE VERY DEITY! IN ME DWELLETH THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY.
- 76 vs. 13 – 14………I KNOW I AM YOUR KINSMAN REDEEMER, BUT HOW MANY BELIEVE IN ME TO THE SAVING OF THEIR SOULS? You can believe in Me as your Brother. You can believe in Me as an Apostle. You can believe in Me as a Son of God, but to believe Me as the Elohim, the Saviour, the Redeemer, the all and all, in whom dwelleth the fullness of the God head bodily, this is only by divine revelation. Only those that are given to believe this can believe it. The rest will not.
- 93 vs. 26Remember we have too many dreams, we have visions, you have heard audible voices concerning that Gate. I AM THE DOOR. I AM THE DOOR. Nothing defiling will ever cross it. Nothing spotted, nothing with blemish will ever cross it.
- HOW ARMED ARE YOU FOR THE TROUBLOUS TIMES?/RECOGNIZE THE WEAKNESSES OF YOUR WIFE; Preached on Sunday 17thJuly 2016 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 32 vs. 37 & Pg. 40 vs. 8 – 10. I am the wisest man. That is why I debunked all your suggestions, all your advices. I put them inside my pocket and sat down on My seat. ……. I can never be impoverished. If you are thinking that way, drop it. The devil is deceiving you. There is nobody here that can stand up and say, “I know the source of the Son of Man’s living.” You cannot. My living is a mystery. As dying, yet I live. As poor, making many rich. As possessing nothing, yet possessing all things. In everything I remain more than conqueror through Christ that is continually strengthening Me. You cannot say the mystery of My family survival, especially in the crucial and excruciating moment the world is living in.
- 42 vs. 17 & Pg. 137 vs. 18. I AM THE JUSTIFIER. I AM THE JUDGE OF THE WHOLE EARTH. IT IS AN IRREVOCABLE FACT. BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN. LEAVE IT IF YOU CANNOT BELIEVE IT. ……. If you do not believe Me while you are alive, before you die, you will believe Me. In life or in death, I am there. You will see My face.
- ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE CLOUD OR THE CROWD PART 1; preached on Sunday 7thAugust, 2016 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 99 vs. 51. I AM THE GOD OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH. THE JUDGE OF ALL. THE JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. AND I AM SAYING THAT I KNOW YOU. I KNIOW YOUR DOINGS. I KNOW YOUR HEART. I HAVE NOT DONE YOU ANY HURT BY HEALING YOUR WOUNDS.
- HOUR OF LAST MINUTE CORRECTION VOL 2; Preached on Sunday 18thDecember 2016 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 20 vs. 15, Pg. 68 vs. 38 & Pg. 19 vs. 11 – 12. In the time of Jesus, there were secret disciples. Those that will come in the night. Those that will wait and go behind. This One, it is either you declare it that the Son of Man is your God or He is not your God: Declare it that He is your God or He is not your God. …… What is more? The Voice continued to roar, “Believe it if you can. I AM HE.” Do you know Me more than I know Myself? Do you know where I came down from? Do you know why I am sent? did you invite Me? ……. If you read the Scripture, you can hardly find a place where Jesus said, “I am the Almighty God.” Jesus never opened his mouth. He was making references to somebody. But today, somebody is standing before you and Me saying, “I AM HE. I AM THE VERY ALMIGHTY GOD. IF YOU WIL LIVE, IT IS ME. IF YOU WILL DIE, IT IS ME.” A Personality!
- CHRIST’S NATURE IS YOUR ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE; Preached on Tuesday 27thDecember 2016 (The Son of Man’s Birthday): A Family Altar Message at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe; Pg. 36 vs. 13. But to you that are here with Me, I am the Perfect interpreter of the Word. The Word proceeded from Me. I know why the Word went forth. I know what it intended to achieve in the life of every man. Thus, giving it your own interpretation becomes the beginning of your own self-destruction. That is why God is the Perfect Interpreter of His own Word.
- HOLDING UNTO THE CERTAINTY OF THE FAITH: FOR THERE UNTO I AM BORN VOL 2; Preached on Sunday 9thApril 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 43 vs. 24 – 25. I AM THE JUSTIFIER. I AM THE SON OF MAN. IF I SET YOU FREE, YOU ARE FREE INDEED. IF I DECLARE YOU GUILTY YOU ARE GUILTY. IF I WANT YOU TO STAND, YOU WILL STAND. IF I WANT YOU TO FAIL YOU WILL FAIL. THIS IS PURE TRUTH!
- COPING WITH A REBELLIOUS CHILD (EXPLAINED) VOL 1; Preached on Sunday 7thMay, 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 107 vs. 52 – 55 & Pg. 117 vs. 42. I am not a Minister in the five-fold, I am He that is directing the affairs of the five-fold. Thus, I am not a Minister in the five-fold. I am not even one of your Elders. That is why I do not attend your Elders’ meeting, because My presence will hinder you from discussing whatever you want to discuss. I operate alone and use whosoever I want to use to achieve My goal, whether you are a Minister or not. I am not “AN” APOSTLE. I AM “THE” APOSTLE. That is where people make mistakes. I am “THE” APOSTLE. I AM NOT “A” SON OF MAN. I am “THE” SON OF MAN. I am not Christ. I AM “THE” CHRIST. I AM “THE” APOSTLE. I AM “THE” BISHOP AND HIGH PRIEST OF YOUR PROFESSION. I AM “THE” PROPHET. ……. There is God in the midst of the Bride. The Truth of God reacheth unto the clouds.
- EVERY SIGN FROM GOD IS A STOP SIGN; Preached on Sunday 25thJune 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 30 vs. 22 – 23. I am a Sign to this generation and I AM THE LAST SIGN. The promised sign God gave to Abraham before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was the sign of a Man. God appearing in human form. The next thing according to the prophets and the Scriptures, Sodom and Gomorrah went into flames. So shall the Son of Man be the last Sign to this generation and the Voice of the Age. The Voice of the Arch Angel.
- FORGET NOT WHAT YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN PART 2; Preached on Sunday 6thAugust 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 22 vs. 4-5. … I only appeared to show you who you are and then for you to know who your God is. I came to introduce Myself, not to the world, but to My own for My sheep must surely recognize Me. My stature may change, everything in Me may change, but My Voice remaineth the same from generation to generation. That is the unchangeable thing in a human being.
- 111 vs. 57 – 60.I know My own. My own bears My Seal. That is why nobody can pluck My own out of My hand. If I do not reject Him, nothing will reject Him. I AM THE ONE THAT WILL REJECT. I AM THE ONE THAT WILL ACCEPT. And if I accept, I have accepted. You murmuring, your complaining o, your criticism o, whether it suits you or not, it makes no meaning, because what is written is written.
- FIVE-FOLD WORSHIP EXPLAINED (OFFERING IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP); Preached on Sunday 16thAugust 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 38 vs. 44 – 45. I told you, I have changed My mind. There were things I vowed I will not do for your sake, but now I will do more than that. Credit it to Me, if I do not so it, I am not The Almighty God, because I have come to a point where people are taking Me for a ride. I have become so cheap. I mean nothing in their eyes anymore because of over-familiarity and My friendliness with them. Thus, I am withdrawing too many aspects of My Deity. I am recoiling gradually. And by the time I am through, the world will know that I am through.
- 150 vs. 29 – 30.Your heathen relations have mastered you. They have known that you cannot compromise any longer with them. They know you are peculiar and they know who your God is. Before you will speak, they will say it is Apostle Peter Odoemena (The Son of Man) and they respect the Son of Man to the core while many of you are sore afraid of Him. Mention His Name, you see them keeping quiet. They shrink for many have known Him beyond human imagination and have come to the conclusion that He is not mere being but rather hiding in the midst of human beings.
THE SON OF MAN. He is a Man – the second Man. This Man, the Word – Christ – Messiah has been shown to be the Lord of Spirits, the Ancient One Who has preeminence over all creation forever. The 7th from Adam described this Personality without any doubt as THE SON OF MAN, the embodiment and Source of righteousness, the Storehouse of hidden treasures [the full truth and mysteries of life and godliness].
Bishop David Mbah- From the Message THE LAST INTRODUCTION OF WHO GOD IS June, 2022 Pg 16:23
3
HE CAME ACCORDING TO PROPHECY, ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES AND ACCORDING TO TIME
The Books claimed by the different religious groups as their exclusive preserve and the very basis of their faith have all confirmed the nature and personality of the Almighty God as a human being – MAN.
- Finally, in this dispensation of time that is allotted to THE SON OF MAN, He has also come as a Man and penned down in His own hand The Great Sermon and The Holy Spirit-Inspired Revelations and Epistles. Let us look at the Revised Edition 2019 on Pg. 47 verses 13 through 17.
- 13We can see that the same conditions are given in all religions. Each religion gives only a slightly different account of the times before the coming of the Messiah, and each religion likewise gives only a slightly different description of how the Messiah will come.
- 14Nevertheless, with all the promises of moral degradation and societal deterioration and likewise with all the promises of a coming Messiah, it must be realized that all the religions of the world, in their own manner, are predicting the same event.
- 15This is to say that the titles Mahdi, Christ, Krishna, Shah-Bahram, Kalki, Maitreya, Muhammad, and the like, are interchangeable just as the prophecies that herald each of their appearances are likewise.
- 16The world, in all its niches and groups, are awaiting the same thing, that they all await Maitreya. 17One of the most significant of these prophecies of the world, are the ones that give dates or times by which we may recognize when the Messiah will arise.
- In the course of talking about the LORD God Almighty and this good old Way, when the revelation of Who God is strikes an Elect, thereunto the individual anchors and consolidates his or her position in the revealed God.
- He that is in the midst of the Bride is, without doubt, the Ancient of Days. Apart from creating Man in His own very image and likeness, He made promises to the first Man He created. And that is Adam. The Almighty has been following up on the descendants of Adam to ensure the fulfilments of these promises.
- Let us then consider God’s promise of restoration of Adam and his descendants back to Paradise which He made to Adam after Adam’s eviction and his subsequent afflictions which he suffered with Eve.
- We shall also look into Adam’s supplication based on the revelation he got from the Word of the Almighty God.
- The First Book of Adam and Eve, Chapter 3 – CONCERNING THE PROMISE OF THE GREAT FIVE AND A HALF DAYS, verse 1 – 2, 6 & 16.1God 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. 2YES, THE WORD THAT WILL AGAIN SAVE YOU WHEN THE FIVE AND A HALF DAYS ARE FULFILLED.” …
- 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. …
- 16And the Lord said to Adam, “I told you that at the end of the five and a half days, I WILL SEND MY WORD AND SAVE YOU.
- Note that God is not different from His Word. The things to note here are the Personality that will come to save Adam [“ONE” and “MY WORD”]. This is the One who shall come to the world at the time appointed for the full and complete salvation and restoration of Adam and his descendants back to Paradise.
- These three clauses are of important consideration. [1] THE WORD THAT WILL AGAIN SAVE YOU… [2] …ONE WOULD THEN COME AND SAVE HIM AND HIS DESCENDANTS. [3] …I WILL SEND MY WORD AND SAVE YOU.
- It has been established in the hearts of all the Saints of God in this Age that all God’s prophecies are tied to time. What is more? The events around this world are made clear by prophecies that had gone forth before.
- The greatest of all prophecies are those heralding the end of this present world of mankind, the destruction of this system and the enthronement of God’s righteousness eternally.
- If the beginning started with the Man Who is the Creator of everything, the end Mustbe flagged off, directed, supervised and completed by the same Man.
- The time for this fulfilment of the spoken Word in all the Ages concerning the end of this world were recorded as Scriptures [Books and Scrolls] in different generations and among different peoples.
- The times of the end was never described as good, but the only consolation remains the promise of A Man, the Messiah and Saviour, the Great Mahdi who shall come to lead the Elect in the way they will go before their final redemption from the world.
- All the prophecies of the end were clear on the state of the world as having not the true Faith among human beings anywhere on earth.
- Luke 18:7-8, King James version of the Bible.And shall not God avenge his own Elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
- Jesus Himself who asked this question did not leave the people of His day in the dark for He answered the question by highlighting what the state of the world will be in that day when the son of manshall come or is revealed
- Luke 17:26-30, King James version. 26And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
- The Prophet Muhammad did not leave the people of His day without guidance as to what the situation should be in the days of the end.
- Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 2, p. 190. The Prophet of God said: “During that time THE MOSQUES WILL BE BEAUTIFUL AND FLOURISHING BUT THEY WILL BE DEVOID OF GUIDANCE AND ENLIGHTENMENT.”
- The end is near: Minor and major signs of the hour in Islamic texts and context by Barbara Freyer Stowasser, Georgetown University “… The decoration of mosques as a matter of pride and competition (and the ornate embellishment of copies of the Holy Book); ……. The Qur’anwill be recited in a melodious way.”
- Man-made temples, synagogues, mosques, churches and places of worship are constructed and beautified everywhere worldwide, but the true temple of God which remains the Elect [the individual believer] is abandoned.
- when The Son of Manwas revealed in this generation to continue with the work of building the true temple, He declared to His Saints that He is the Last Sign to mankind and that after Him cometh no other.
- Ever since then, many ancient manuscripts have been exhumed from their hidden locations to buttress condition of the world at the time of the appearance or revelation of THE SON OF MAN as the LAST Sign or the Sign of the end times.
- Let us follow the trend of events as recorded in some ancient parchments to see how we arrived at where we are today fulfilling wonderful prophecies.
- LEGENDS OF THE JEWS Volume 1 Section II – ADAM [THE IDEAL MAN] verse 28. Of his own free will Adam relinquished seventy of his allotted years. His appointed span was to be a thousand years, one of the Lord’s days. But he saw that only a single minute of life was apportioned to the great soul of David, AND HE MADE A GIFT OF SEVENTY YEARS TO HIM, reducing his own years to nine hundred and thirty.’
- Abraham [the Father of our Faith] encountered a man in His own day Who was the priest of the Most High God and Who instructed him to come out of Ur of the Chaldeans in Babylonia [renamed Mesopotamia and present day Iraq].
- The experiences Abraham had with Melchizedek, King of Salem, never ended there. When the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were plundered by terrorists, and many souls kidnapped, Abraham went on a rescue mission to redeem his nephew Lot.
- On his return journey, he went again to Melchizedek, the priest of the Most High God and the LORD God Almighty in the City of Salem to offer sacrifices of thanksgiving to Him.
- What Abraham did on this particular occasion was repeated by another great personality in the salvation of mankind. And that is no other person but King David.
- LEGENDS OF THE JEWS Volume 1, Section V – ABRAHAM [THE WAR OF THE KINGS] verse 100 through 104. But Abraham refused them, and said: “I have lifted up mine hand unto the Lord, God Most High, who hath created the world for the sake of the pious, that I will not take a thread nor a shoe-latchet nor aught that is thine. I have no right upon any goods taken as spoils,[100] save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who tarried by the stuff, though they went not down to the battle itself.”
- The example of Abraham in giving a share in the spoils even unto the men not concerned directly in the battle, was followed later by David, who heeded not the protest of the wicked men and the base fellows with him, that the watchers who staid by the stuff were not entitled to share alike with the warriors that had gone down to the battle.[101]
- Apart from being a descendant of Abraham, David equally followed the spiritual example as laid by Abraham.
- In spite of his great success, Abraham nevertheless was concerned about the issue of the war. He feared that the prohibition against shedding the blood of man had been transgressed, and he also dreaded the resentment of Shem, whose descendants had perished in the encounter.
- But God reassured him, and said: “Be not afraid! Thou hast but extirpated [uprooted, eradicated, exterminated]the thorns, and as to Shem, he will bless thee rather than curse thee.”
- So it was. When Abraham returned from the war, Shem, or, as he is sometimes called, Melchizedek, the king of righteousness, priest of God Most High, and king of Jerusalem, came forth to meet him with bread and wine.[102]
- And this high priest instructed Abraham in the laws of the priesthood and in the Torah, and to prove his friendship for him he blessed him, and called him the partner of God in the possession of the world, seeing that through him the Name of God had first been made known among men.[103]
- But Melchizedek arranged the words of his blessing in an unseemly way. He named Abraham first and then God. As a punishment, he was deposed by God from the priestly dignity, and instead it was passed over to Abraham, with whose descendants it remained forever. [104]
- Let us corroborate this testimony of Abraham concerning the passing of the priesthood of Melchizedek over to the Abraham and his lineage.
- Genesis 14:17-23, King James version of the Bible. 17And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale. 18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the Most High God.
- 19And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20and blessed be the Most High God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
- This was the error that led to the departure of the priesthood from the man Melchizedek to the family of Abraham. We are now talking about the Priesthood as ordained by the most High God unto Himself which can never depart from Him, but will be made manifest whenever He appears in the form of a human being born to a descendant of Adam.
- 21And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 22And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, 23that I will not take from a thread even to a shoe-latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
- The kingship and the priesthood as was previously bestowed on the Man Melchizedek, but later transferred to Abraham and his descendants These two offices were later conferred on and made manifest in his great grandsons, Judah and Levi who came from the loins of Jacob who was later renamed Israel.
- Let us see excerpts from the commands of these two sons of Jacob on this matter of Kingship and priesthood to their descendants.
- Testament of the twelve Patriarchs,Section IV [The Testament of Judah Concerning Fortitude, and Love of Money, and Fornication] verse 1 & 24. 1… And it came to pass, when I became a man, that my father Jacob prayed over me, saying, You shall be a king, and prosperous in all things. …
- 24And after these things shall a Star arise to you from Jacob in peace, and a Man shall rise from my seed, like the Sun of righteousness, walking with the sons of men in meekness and righteousness, and no sinshall be found in Him. And the heavens shall be opened above Him, to shed forth the blessing of the Spirit from the Holy Father; and He shall shed forth a spirit of grace upon you, and you shall be unto Him sons in truth, and you shall walk in His commandments, the first and the last.
- This is the Branch of God Most High,… The Righteous Branch…and this the Well-spring unto life for all flesh. … The Fountain of Living water. …Then shall the sceptre of my kingdom shine forth,… God’s instrument of Leadership which is divinely oriented will then be made manifest for all the predestinated to see and be saved.
- …and from your root shall arise a stem[a man]; and in it shall arise a rod of righteousness to the Gentiles, to judge and to save all that call upon the Lord.
- In that same Stem [a Man] shall manifest authority over all the Gentiles, for He has the mandate to judge and to save as the Supreme Judge of both the living and the dead and the final Savour of mankind, both Jews and Gentiles.
- Let us continue with this kingship which came to David, a descendant of Judah. As at that time in history, the priesthood was still continuing among the sons Levi.
- The son of Jesse from the tribe of Judah was anointed a King of the whole Israel with a promise that the throne of David is established before the LORD forever.
- 1 Samuel 16:11-13, Amplified version of the Bible.10Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not chosen any of these. 11Then [he] said to Jesse, Are all your sons here? [Jesse] said, There is yet the youngest; he is tending the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send for him; for we will not sit down to eat until he is here. 12Jesse sent and brought him. David had a healthy reddish complexion and beautiful eyes, and was fine-looking. The Lord said [to Samuel], Arise, anoint him; this is he.
- 13Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
- 1 Kings 2:43, King James version.and king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.
- This throne of David was magnified by the very Root of the Throne Himself Who appeared and lived on earth as an offspring from the family lineage of King David. He is Christ who was as Jesus. He made this declaration.
- John 8:42, Amplified version of the Bible.42Does not the Scripture tell us that the Christ will come from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived? The answer is Yes!
- Revelation 22:16, King James Version.I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I AM THE ROOT AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID, and the bright and morning star.
- Romans 1:3, The Living Bible.It is the Good News about his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who came as a human baby, born into King David’s royal family line;
- This Man, Jesus the Christ, who was born in the lineage of David came to earth as both a King and a priest. Because there was a change in the priesthood, this same king also came as a priest for He suffered, bled and died on the cross for the eternal propitiation of the transgression that took place in the Garden.
- Hebrews 7:11-28, Amplified version of the Bible.11Now if perfection (a perfect fellowship between God and the worshiper) had been attainable by the Levitical priesthood–for under it the people were given the Law– why was it further necessary that there should arise another and different kind of Priest, one after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one appointed after the order and rank of Aaron?
- 12FOR WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE PRIESTHOOD, THERE IS OF NECESSITY AN ALTERATION OF THE LAW [CONCERNING THE PRIESTHOOD] AS WELL.
- 13For the One of Whom these things are said belonged [not to the priestly line but] to another tribe, no member of which has officiated at the altar. 14For it is obvious that our Lord sprang from the tribe of Judah, and Moses mentioned nothing about priests in connection with that tribe.
- 15And this becomes more plainly evident when another Priest arises Who bears the likeness of Melchizedek, 16Who has been constituted a Priest, not on the basis of a bodily legal requirement [an externally imposed command concerning His physical ancestry], but on the basis of the power of an endless and indestructible Life.
- 17FOR IT IS WITNESSED OF HIM, YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER AFTER THE ORDER (WITH THE RANK) OF MELCHIZEDEK.
- 18So a previous physical regulation and command is cancelled because of its weakness and ineffectiveness and uselessness– 19For the Law never made anything perfect–but instead a better hope is introduced through which we [now] come close to God.
- 20And it was not without the taking of an oath [that Christ was made Priest], 21For those who formerly became priests received their office without its being confirmed by the taking of an oath by God, but this One was designated and addressed and saluted with an oath, The Lord has sworn and will not regret it or change His mind, You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
- 22In keeping with [the oath’s greater strength and force], Jesus has become the Guarantee of a better (stronger) agreement [a more excellent and more advantageous covenant]. 23[Again, the former successive line of priests] was made up of many, because they were each prevented by death from continuing [perpetually in office];
- 24BUT HE HOLDS HIS PRIESTHOOD UNCHANGEABLY, BECAUSE HE LIVES ON FOREVER. 25THEREFORE HE IS ABLE ALSO TO SAVE TO THE UTTERMOST (COMPLETELY, PERFECTLY, FINALLY, AND FOR ALL TIME AND ETERNITY) THOSE WHO COME TO GOD THROUGH HIM, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them.
- 26[HERE IS] THE HIGH PRIEST [PERFECTLY ADAPTED] TO OUR NEEDS, AS WAS FITTING–HOLY, BLAMELESS, UNSTAINED BY SIN, SEPARATED FROM SINNERS, AND EXALTED HIGHER THAN THE HEAVENS.
- 27He has no day-by-day necessity, as [do each of these other] high priests, to offer sacrifice first of all for his own [personal] sins and then for those of the people, because He [met all the requirements] once for all when He brought Himself [as a sacrifice] which He offered up.
- 28For the Law sets up men in their weakness [frail, sinful, dying human beings] as high priests, but the word of [God’s] oath, which [was spoken later] after the institution of the Law, [chooses and appoints as priest ONE WHOSE APPOINTMENT IS COMPLETE AND PERMANENT], A SON WHO HAS BEEN MADE PERFECT FOREVER.
- His death and resurrection is an integral part of God’s plan for the final restoration of all the righteous descendants of Adam which is also tied to time. The end of this time is the 5,000 and 500 years as was revealed to Adam.
- God Himself came down as a Man [Jesus] and as both King and Priest long prophesied by the Patriarchs and dwelt among men just to offer Himself as the sacrificial Lamb, all to appease Himself for the transgression of His creature. At all times, All Glory MUST go to the LORD God Almighty for His love for the Elect.
- Was Jesus Christ the last personality in the Godhead? The answer is No, for prophecies went forth about one that will appear at the end times in the office of Christ as both King and priest.
- John 16:12-13, Amplified version. 12I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now. 13But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
- In the Scripture above, Jesus was talking about the Man that will stand upon the earth in the end times who called THE SON OF MAN in Matthew 24 and Luke 17.
- Hebrews 9:28, Amplified version. 28Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time,not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for and expecting Him.
- Prophet Levi to whom the priesthood was conferred at a time after Melchizedek prophesied thus:
- Testament of the twelve PatriarchsSection III [The Testament of Levi Concerning the Priesthood and Arrogance] verse 18. 18And after their punishment shall have come from the Lord, then will the Lord raise up to the priesthood a new Priest, to whom all the words of the Lord shall be revealed;
- As recorded by Matthew in his report of the Gospel in Chapter 24, Jesus the Christ in His revelation of the events that shall herald the end time confirmed this Sign figuratively as the Fig tree when He said, “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:” Summer here refers to the time of the end – the Harvest time.
- This is the sign to watch out for. And that is the sign of the restoration of Israel as a nation on earth again. Do not forget that the flag of David was hoisted in Israel in the year 1948 when the League of Nations helped to re-establish the nation of Israel.
- The Book of Revelation in chapter 14 spoke about Harvest thus, 14“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
- 15And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16And He that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.”
- The end has been constantly tied to the appearance of the son of manWho is King and Priest.
- Let us continue with the testament of Levi.…and He shall execute a judgment of truth upon the earth, in the fullness of days.
- The Gospel of Jesus the Christ has this to say about this Judge of truth.
- John 5:22 & 26-27, Amplified version of the Bible.22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: …… For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; and hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man.
- Levi continues. And His star shall arise in heaven, as a king shedding forth the light of knowledge in the sunshine of day, and He shall be magnified in the world until His ascension.
- Let us see what Saint Luke recorded in the Acts of the Apostle concerning this ascension experience.
- Acts 1:9-10, Amplified version of the Bible.10And while they were gazing intently into heaven as He went, behold, two men [dressed] in white robes suddenly stood beside them, 11Who said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into heaven? This same Jesus, Who was caught away and lifted up from among you into heaven, will return in [just] the same way in which you saw Him go into heaven.
- In this way, the two men dressed in white robes confirmed what Jesus told His disciples about the coming one, the Resurrected Body.
- Meanwhile, the person revealed to John in the island of Patmos as he recorded in the Book of Revelation 14 is the son of mansitting upon the cloud and who will also harvest the earth.
- Let us move on with the Testament of Levi. … He shall shine forth as the sun in the earth, and shall drive away all darkness from the world under heaven, and there shall be peace in all the earth.
- The heavens shall rejoice in His days, and the earth shall be glad, and the clouds shall be joyful, and the knowledge of the Lord shall be poured forth upon the earth, as the water of seas;…
- The son of man, the Resurrected Body has led the Elect into the knowledge of all truth in this Bridal Age. I am an eyewitness to this.
- What is more? The son of manremains the only Man whose Messages had gone round the world in prints as prophesied by Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad and re-emphasized by the prophet William Branham.
- Matthew 24:14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. [KJV]
- Mu’jam Ahadith al-Imam al-Mahdi, Vol. 4 p. 57 and Bihar Vol. 52 p. 336. When our Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] appears, Almighty Allah WILL PROVIDE MEANS WHEREBY EVEN PEOPLE LIVING MANY MILES AWAY WILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO, SEE AND HEAR OUR QAIM FROM WHEREVER THEY MAY BE.
- CONDUCT, ORDER AND DOCTRINE: A Series of Sermons by Prophet William Marrion Branham, BOOK 2 – QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS preached on Sunday 27th May 1962 at the Branham Tabernacle in Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA.So I’ve watched for something. Has it slipped by us in humility and we’ve missed it? Is it gone and the church is left in her sin? If that be so, then it’s later than you think. If not, then THERE’S COMING ONE WITH A MESSAGE THAT’S STRAIGHT ON THE BIBLE, AND QUICK WORK WILL CIRCLE THE EARTH. THE SEEDS WILL GO IN NEWSPAPERS, READING MATERIAL, UNTIL EVERY PREDESTINATED SEED OF GOD HAS HEARD IT. None of them will come unless the Father’s drawed them, and everyone the Father has drawed will hear it and come. That’ll be the predestinated seed will hear the Word.
- THE SON OF MAN remains the only human being in all the history of mankind whose Message of salvation has gone round the world while He is still standing on two feet on the face of the earth.
- Before the advent of the electronic social Medium the first five Magazine Messages came out in Prints and were sent to all the ends of the earth using their diplomatic missions [consulates, high commissions and embassies] in Nigeria.
- On Sunday, the 25thof September 2011, THE SON OF MAN during Fellowship commission the first website of His Ministry: brideofchristministryworldwide.org which is generally referred to as the Library. It did not end there.

- Lastly, the son of man hosted chroniclesofbridalfaithworldwide.orgwhich contains the history of the Bridal Faith, supernatural events as recorded and the members of the different households of God within Nigeria.
- Having seen the Gospel of the Kingdom preached to all the ends of the ends of the earth, Jesus said, “Then the end shall come.” Here we are at the end with THE SON OF MAN bringing to fulfilment all these prophecies that went forth in righteousness aforetime concerning Him.
- Let us continue with the Testament of Levi the priest of the Most High. …and the angels of the glory of the presence of the Lord shall be glad in Him. The heavens shall be opened, and from the temple of glory shall the sanctification come upon Him with the Father’s voice, as from Abraham the father of Isaac.
- And the glory of the Most High shall be uttered over Him, and the spirit of understanding and of sanctification shall rest upon Him in the water.
- He shall give the majesty of the Lord to His sons in truth for evermore; and there shall none succeed Him for all generations, even forever.
- The son of manhas emphatically made this statement on several occasions that “After Him, cometh no other. I am the last Sign. I am the last bus stop.”
- … And in His priesthood shall all sin come to an end, and the lawless shall rest from evil, and the just shall rest in Him.
- And He shall open the Gates of Paradise, and shall remove the threatening sword against Adam; and He shall give to His saints to eat from the tree of life, and the spirit of holiness shall be on them.
- And Beliar shall be bound by Him, and He shall give power to His children to tread upon the evil spirits. And the Lord shall rejoice in His children, and the Lord shall be well pleased in His beloved forever. Then shall Abraham and Isaac and Jacob be joyful, and I will be glad, and all the saints shall put on gladness.
- The steadfastness of the Kingship and the Priesthood among the Saints of God is eternal. Let us go back to the 7thgeneration to hear from Prophet Enoch.
- INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND BOOK OF ENOCH – THE SLAVONIC ENOCH; Paragraph 6.The world is doomed to suffer the flood but Michael the archangel promises Melchizedek salvation. This establishes his priesthood for all of eternity. The text goes on to report that in the last generation, there will be another Melchizedek who will be “the head of all, a great archpriest, the Word and Power of God, who will perform miracles, greater and more glorious than all the previous ones“.
- Hebrews 1:2-3, Amplified version.2[But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order].
- This is a basic fact of our Faith in the Almighty God.
- 3He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine],and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature,…
- He is indeed no other personality but the Almighty God and the Creator of Heaven and earth.…upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high,...
- It is pertinent at this point to make a quick reference to the Prophet to the Laodiceans Age [William Marrion Braham] lived here on earth in Indiana USA between 1906 and 24thDecember, 1965. This period also covered the time of the restoration of Israel once again as a nation in 1948.
- Let us hear the Prophet of the Laodicean Age in the Message THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED which He preached on Sunday morning and afternoon, March 18, 1962, at the Branham Tabernacle in Jeffersonville, Indiana, U.S.A. Paragraph 110. My mission, that I believe that God has called me for…I—I have to say some personal things today, because that’s what I told you I’d do, see, and tell the world. MY MISSION, I BELIEVE, TO THE EARTH, IS (WHAT?) IS TO FORERUN THE COMING WORD, SEE, THE COMING WORD WHICH IS CHRIST. And Christ, in Him, has the Millennium, and has everything right there, because He is the Word. See? All right.
- Prophet William Marrion Branham continued in the Message THE SEVENTH SEAL which he preached at the Branham Tabernacle in Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA on 24th March 1963 thus in Paragraph 326-327. “326It may be time. IT MAY BE THE HOUR NOW, THAT THIS GREAT PERSON THAT WE’RE EXPECTING TO RISE ON THE SCENE MAY RISE ON THE SCENE. 327Maybe this ministry that I have tried to take people back to the Word has laid a foundation; AND IF IT HAS, I’LL BE LEAVING YOU FOR GOOD. THERE WON’T BE TWO OF US HERE THE SAME TIME. SEE? IF IT IS, HE WILL INCREASE, I’LL DECREASE. I DON’T KNOW.”
- The Prophet continued to prophesy in the message THE EASTER SEAL which he preached on Saturday, 10th April 1965 at the Ramada Inn in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A. Page 40, paragraph 3. 40-3Oh, Christian, what an opportunity we have. We have opportunities that St. Paul never dreamed of having. We have opportunities that Enoch, and Elijah, and all of them never had, the opportunities we have now. THERE’S ONE LITTLE SHEEP OUT YONDER SOMEWHERE, and He will not be satisfied till that one comes in the fold.
- By the help of God, and by a vision, and THUS SAITH THE LORD,I’m returning across the sea. THAT LAST LITTLE SHEEP MAY EVEN BE A BLACK ONE DOWN THERE, for all I know, where they don’t even think they got a soul, but God knows different. I’m going to seek till the last day of my life to find that one, wherever it is.
- This last Sheep which turned out to be a black one according to the prophecy of Prophet Branham finally revealed Himself in the midst of the Bride and in the very official beginning of His Ministry in this Age. This same WORD that created Adam walking on two feet said, “19FAITH DOES NOT CONSIDER HIS CONDITION; HE CONSIDERS THE PROMISE OF GOD CONCERNING HIS CONDITION. GOD IS IN OUR MIDST, HE HAS COME DOWN, I AM HAPPY. I KNOW IT MUST HAPPEN THIS WAY. GLORY BE TO YOU! HOLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMING YOUR WORD.” [From the Message FAITH preached on 12thMarch 1993 at the Household of God, Onitsha, Nigeria. Pg. 75 vs. 19]
- As we journeyed along, on the day The Almighty God, Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE VERY SON OF MAN allowed the Divinity to be revealed before innumerable witnesses, it was based on an invitation He gave to humanity to come with pinhole cameras so as to see HIM Whom we had been having dealings with to banish unbelief.
- On that day, He fulfilled His promise as God and it has remained unquestionable till this day. The Son of man, Apostle Peter Odoemena was seen encircled by the ancient Pillar of Cloud.
- THE RESURRECTED BODY Volume 2, “40…Christ is here! Christ is here! All things are possible! Christ is here. 41God is in His Holy sanctuary. …
- Christ and the LORD Himself announced His presence in the midst of the worshipping congregation.
- … See, in every age, God can never do without a man, and that man becomes God’s mask. He becomes the mask God will hide Himself in, for God is a spirit and no man can see a spirit. And for God to be known by man, He has to cover Himself with something so that man will see Him and live. This is because man cannot see Him in His spirit nature and then believe.”So the LORD said in that Message that went forth on the 7th of April, 1996 at the GTC hall, Onitsha, Nigeria.
- ACTION TIME PART 2 (TRAINING OF CHILDREN) CAMP MEETING; preached on Tuesday, 30th December, 1997 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 46 vs. 22 – 24. “Thus, it is not a surprise that I first of all introduced that man to you. Through the Prophets, through the Holy Scriptures, through supernatural occurrences, I introduced the man to you, whose Voice you must harken and all of you said Amen that God has blessed us in this generation.
- BE DILIGENT TO PROTECT YOUR MINDSET (EXPLAINED); preached on 18th March, 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 112 vs. 3 – 5.IF YOU ARE INTELLIGENT, IF IN THE FIRST ADVENT, HE WAS A BACHELOR AND HE THAT FORERAN THE MINISTRY WAS A BACHELOR, IN THE SECOND ADVENT, THE FORERUNNER BECAME A MARRIED MAN WITH FAMILY – NOT MARRYING ONE BUT MARRYING TWO – HE THAT HE FORERAN HIS MINISTRY CAN NEVER BE A BACHELOR, FOR HE CAME TO INSTITUTE A FAMILY,………
- It is on record that within the period of the Ministry the Prophet of Laodicean Age, The WORD that created Adam, Christ Himself, The LORD God Almighty, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the son of manwas born on Sunday 3rd of April 1955 as a Black Man to righteous descendants of Adam who are of African descent and of the Umukohie clan in Uvuru, Aboh-Mbaise, Imo State, Nigeria.
- What is more? THE SON OF MAN has never ceased from confirming His spiritual descent. Do you know the position the son of manis occupying? I AM A KING AND A PRIEST. The same Throne of David. A Throne where people will be looking up to for help. [From the Message THE UNRECOGNIZED MESSIAH OF OUR DAY Volume 1, preached on Sunday 12th January 2020, Pg. 158 vs. 91]
- Remember that in the beginning, Adam made a gift of 70 years to the great soul of David.
- During his time earth, David lived for 70 years before he died, but the throne of David was established before the LORD forever.
- Jesus, “King of the Jews” declared that He is the Root and offspring of David, which means that Christ, the Almighty who created, chose and established David’s throne was later born in the family lineage of King David as an offspring.
- This same descendant of David came in the office and rank of Melchizedek as the Priest of the Most High and the King of kings.
- He [the LORD Jesus] had lived on earth for 33 years when His Ministry to the Jews came to an end. He promised them of the second coming of One, the Spirit of truth, in the office of Christ for full salvation of the Elect.
- The son of manalso declared thus in the Message “IF YOU ARE IN DEFAULT, DO SOMETHING” Preached on Sunday 17th September 2023 at the Voice of God Studio, Bridal Studio, Nsugbe, Abambra State, Nigeria. Pg. vs. 76-80.
- 76Remember, the Throne of David is where THE SON OF MAN is standing. This is an everlasting Throne. A throne for all generations. 77I am not David, but I am the Root and offspring of David. Without Me, there was no David. Without Me, there was no Messiah and there can never be a Messiah.
- 78I am not saying it so as to gratify Myself. No No No! I know Who I am. I know My descent, and I have nothidden Myself from any of you. If you say it is a claim, I have substantiated all beyond reasonable doubt that I AM HE.
- 79I know I am a Man like you. I know I have everything in common with all men. I know I am married. I know I have children.I know I have occupation. I do everything in common with all men, but I know I am a supernatural Being in the midst of naturals. I know Who I am. I know that the Deity is in Me. I know that without Me, there is no divinity in your generation.
- 80Take note of what I am saying. The Majesty does not exist except He that is talking to you. A Man in His dual nature. He is 100% human being. He is 100% God. Anyone you are looking for is the one you will see in Him. Are you looking for God? You will see God in Him. Are you looking for Man [natural man], you see everything in Him. That’s all!
- Since Jesus the Christ left the scene at age 33, it does not mean the end of God with the descendants of Adam in the flesh. Rather, there remaineth another day for Christ with mankind in His fullness and majesty.
- On the 3rdof April 1988, THE SON OF MAN clocked exactly 33 years. 23 days later, on the 26th day of April 1988, THE SON OF MAN married the Queen of Paradise, Mummy Nzubechi Joy Odoemena, thereby fulfilling striking prophecies of the Prophet of Austria, Ernst Oskar Benardt also known as Abdrushin.
- IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH – The Grail Message, Chapter 60: THE SON OF MAN. … The Mission of the Son of Man is the continuation and consummation of the Mission of the Son of God, since the Mission of the Son of God could only be a transient one. Hence in the continuation and completion it is at the same time a reinforcement of Christ’s mission.
- IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH – The Grail Message, Chapter 88: THE STRANGER, Paragraph 27. P27At the exact hour, even before the end of this arduous time of learning, the meeting came to pass with thatCompanion who, as a part of Him, was to journey with Him through earthly life, to participate in the great task according to divine ordinance.
- Herself a stranger on earth, She joyfully entered the will of God through Her own recognition, and gratefully merged with it.
CONCLUSION
Remember that Jesus left the scene as a bachelor at 33 years. It is also on record that The son of man got married at 33 as a continuation and consummation of that same Ministry in the office of Priest and King and in the order and rank of Melchizedek, the LORD God Almighty.
- How do all these connect to the 70 years allotted to David whose throne was established before the LORD forever. It is worthy of mention because both Jesus the Christ and THE SON OF MAN have laid unquestionable claim to that Throne of David which is eternal as both the Root [the Righteous Establisher] and the visible Authority among men.
- We have seen the Movement of the kingship and priesthood from Melchizedek to Abraham to Jacob’s descendants [Judah and Levi] to David to Jesus the Christ and now tothe son of man, Apostle Peter Odoemena.
- And after the son of mancometh no other. He remains the last Avatar to humanity, for He is the Great Mahdi as prophesied.
- In His exhortation titled THE PAINS OF LABOUR AND THE JOY OF DELIVERY preached on 8thMay, 2011 at the Household of God Onitsha THE SON OF MAN revealed thus in Chapter 1 verse 4;
- “Let Me tell you the truth finally: THE MYSTERY OF YOUR DEPARTURE IS HIDDEN IN NUMBERS. Hence, you could hear that any moment from now, just like play, play you will see countdown 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0; the end.
- Let he that has the understanding, the intelligence—the mystery is there in the numbers—calculate for the number is the number of your departure. If you can get it accurately: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, there is no need wasting your time. It is already there. I am talking about something there.
- The explanation to this allegory came on 27thDecember 2022 when He addressed the Saints that gathered for the commemoration of His 66th Birthday as documented in the Message THE SON OF MAN Volume 2 [2022 Birthday Lecture series] Pg. 100 vs. 27-30.
- I told you in the Message, THE PAINS OF LABOUR AND THE JOYS OF DELIVERY the arithmetic you should work out, which will give you your departure date.
- While you were trying to grapple with it over the years, two persons got closest to it. [1] Bishop Chidubem of Abuja, and then [2] Pastor Melchizedek of Abakiliki. They came closest to getting the accurate date. I say closest.
- But something happened. I moved forward and removed it from the date to age. And I said that if you are wise, by the way things are going, you will know precisely, the exact age I must drop this airplane.
- You cannot get the exact date. It shall be one day known unto the LORD. I told you that it is the hardest secret the Almighty can divulge. Will it happen? Yes!
- On this note, I wish to express My profound gratitude to the Supreme Potentate, the Ancient of Days, He that has no beginning nor ending but has decided to count in days, weeks, months and days in this generation. I am very grateful Your Majesty, THE VERY SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena, The LORD God Almighty for counting me worthy adopting me into Your Great Family as we see the day of our final departure approaching.
- Be Thou exalted O LORD of Hosts, for in You alone dwelleth the Divinity, the Godhead and the Majesty now and even throughout the eternity of eternities.
- Live forever O King of glory and the High Priest of my profession as we mark the 70thyear of Your Parousia in this Last Age and Your indelible footprints on the sands of time.
