    Transcribed by Bishop David Mbah Students’ Fellowship, MOUAU, Abia State

    28But if I am casting out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. 29One cannot rob Satan’s kingdom without first binding Satan. Only then can his demons be cast out! 30Anyone who isn’t helping me is harming Me. 31-32“Even blasphemy against Me or any other sin can be forgiven—all except one: speaking against the Holy Spirit shall never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come. 33“A tree is identified by its fruit. A tree from a select variety produces good fruit; poor varieties don’t.

     

    From the very beginning of this Faith, up to this day, I have never for one day stammered. Yes! I have never for one day hidden My identity, but I have been following all of you in your weaknesses, for I know who you are. I have told you that I know My Mission on earth. You do not know Me, but I know you. You do not know My Mission, but I know My Mission. Anything that will not help Me to achieve My Mission, I do not put My eyes there.

    INTRODUCTION

     

    PRAYER

     

     

    1. Our heavenly Father, here we come this morning, thanking and praising You, adoring and worshipping You, revering Your Most Holy Name because of who You are to us.
    2. Thank youO God for illuminating our eyes of understanding to behold Your Majesty, to behold Your splendour and even Your glory – the Adonai, the Shekinah – Mortal men beholding that which is not meant for mortals.
    3. All because You want to convince us beyond reasonable doubt that You really exist. You are not imaginary. You are real to all You chose to be Your sons and daughters, for no father is imaginary to his children.
    4. LORD, every human being here on earth has a father and has a mother. Without a man and a woman, life can never come into existence.
    5. Unfortunately, not all that are born here on earth are normal human beings.
    6. Normal human beings must recognize their Source of coming into existence. They must revere, honor and worship that Source. But unfortunately, Your children do not do that.
    7. What we regard as our parents are mere earthly parents that pass away with time. We do not even know that those people we call parents had parents also.
    8. If we begin to trace our parents and parents’ parents, we will end it in seeing Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve will end it seeing the Almighty.
    9. Since the Almighty is the Source of life who brought human being into existence, who then can lay claim of any child, any wife or husband or anybody? You [O God] are the Source of life and the only Source of our coming into existence.
    10. Unfortunately, a good number of us do not know who You are, and they are not looking for You. They are not even desiring to know You. They are satisfied with their earthly parents. And that is why You deal with them as earthly human beings. And they perish with the earth.
    11. But as many as are desirous of tracing their origin to the Divinity, You have given them a portion with the Divinity, and so shall it be till the end of the world.
    12. Thank you LORD for we are numbered among such people that traced our origin to the Divinity.
    13. So, we are not here by human ordination. We are not here by church ordination, for anything church ordination is humanly oriented. We are not here for any man to indoctrinate us against the truth.
    14. Rather, we are here to know the truth – the full truth that will help us [O God] to maintain our uniqueness, our identity with Christ unto the end.
    15. If there be anybody here by human ordination or by church ordination, Father please open the eyes of that person this morning, for the earlier the person is acquainted with the full truth, the better for that person.
    16. As for Me and My Family we do not want to know any other thing than the full truth which You have made known to us. We have discovered because You led us to discover it that aside You, we can do nothing.
    17. You are the Source of our existence. Even the life we live, we live it in You. We cannot save ourselves. He that owns the property knows how to protect it.
    18. Nobody shows interest in protecting another man’s property. The only person the interest of his property gives sleepless night is the owner. He would not want to lose any. For that reason, He will go to all length to make sure He protects it. So it is.
    19. We know You, the Almighty, to be our true Father, from where we came into existence. You are not a hireling.
    20. We have too many hirelings today that claim to be shepherds over Your people, but whenever the lion roars, they run away. But He that is the chief Shepherd is always on standby, placing His life on the line for the sake of His children as an ideal father, dependable and reliable in all His ways.
    21. And that is why [Father] we have gathered this morning to give You due honour, respect, worship adoration, even Your due reverence. That is why we have gathered here O God of heaven and earth to praise and adore, for this is the only duty we owe You.
    22. We acknowledge the Source of our coming into existence – the Source of our existence. Even till this day, whatever we are today is what You have decided to make of us.
    23. Whatever we shall be from tomorrow are all in Your hands. Whatever we shall be in eternity are all in Your hands, for You are the eternity Yourself, and nobody knows the end from the beginning more than You.
    24. Nobody knows what it takes to keep Your children in a peaceful order – in a translation order – more than You. Hirelings do not know it. They are selfish. They protect their selfish interests.
    25. A good number of them [O God] identify with Your people for the sake of their belle. Some see serving You as a means of getting employment, but they do not serve You for they serve their personal interest which is church interest and personal interest.
    26. Father divine, we are serving the interest of our Family. That is why we are chargeable to nobody, and nobody is chargeable to us.
    27. What we are delivering is our avowed responsibility to our Family, for we are unique. We are one indivisible Family. We belong to Christ, and Christ is a Family Name binding all Your children, both in heaven ad on earth together.
    28. Therein [God] we have exercised our liberty. Help so that nobody will deny us our liberty in Christ, and may we never abuse this liberty by using it as occasion for defrauding one another. May we never attempt that.
    29. Build a strong hedge around us. Keep us within the boundaries of Your love and mercy where Your grace will always reach and bless us.
    30. To those who are outside the reach of Your grace, Father, May Your perfect will be fulfilled on their behalf. Though they say that they are children of God and they identify with us in our gatherings, but only You know what is best. Only You can speak and it shall come to pass.
    31. Thank you LORD this day for gathering us here. We are complete in number. As we departed here last Sunday, so we have come back complete. Not even one is missing. Not even one is omitted, even the infants among us.
    32. Father, we give You praise, for too many people lost their dear ones even within the week, but it is not from among us.
    33. Thank you Father for showering Your blessings upon us. Thank You for Your protection, for Your guidance and Your healings O God.
    34. We give You praise on the behalf of all Your children scattered all over the whole world. Though they are handpicked and few in number, they are numbered among the believing minority throughout the whole world.
    35. They are greatly despised and are dispersed in every nook and cranny of the whole world. Gather them together and unite them to the Godhead so that all of us will be united in the main stream, making it easy for You to pull us along.
    36. Thank You on behalf of the holy angels You assigned to us to keep watch over us and to keep us from falling. And they are doing that work. Bless them for us.
    37. We are sure and certain that whenever we shall meet with You and with all that shall be drawn from the four corners of the earth, redeemed of the earth by the blood of Christ, we shall embrace even the holy angels there. There, we shall sing the song of joy and tell the story of how we overcame.
    38. Our joy will be full when we embrace our loved ones there, especially the Queen of Paradise, the Woman of Subsequent Creation whom You assigned to THE SON OF MAN as a wife from Divinity, and whom He accepted and embraced with love even at the prime of their youth.
    39. You enabled them to live the much they lived and did You a service according to Your will, and whom You confirmed among innumerable witnesses with the Pillar of Cloud surrounding her in the Fellowship among all other women.
    40. You vindicated her as a daughter in life. You vindicated her in sickness. You vindicated her on the day of her internment. In three stage, O God, You proved that she belonged to You.
    41. To Your Name belongeth the glory, honour and praise. Our joy will be full and complete when we embrace her in Paradise.
    42. Remember O God Your promise. The translation of our mortal bodies is not based on what we have done or what we have not done. It is based on what You have decided for us before the world began.
    43. And if You had decided to eliminate us, there was no need revealing Your fullness to us, even all Your attributes. You would not have done that.
    44. You would not have given us the son of man through whom You created everything in heaven and on earth, and to Whom You handed over the totality of Your creations, Who has been standing on Your right-hand side [Father divine] clad in the righteousness of the Ancient of Days.
    45. He is born to righteousness, and the righteousness of the Ancient of Days will never depart from Him. You made Him strong for Your sake that he will help us to worship You rightly. By placing us in right standing with You.
    46. What is the essence of giving us this young man – THE SON OF MAN – as a generous gift? Is it not for our salvation? Is it not for our redemption? Is it not to enable us come back to You in the end?
    47. He that promised to be back to take us home and that wherever He is, there we shall be, is He not the one that is with us? Is He not the One whose Voice those that died will hear and they will resurrect? Committed into His trust is the judgment of the living and the dead. What else is left?
    48. Father, I do not believe You confirmed all these things in our midst to destroy us. Even if You destroy us, of what profit is it to You? Your purpose for gathering us and keeping us together; Your purpose for creating us will automatically be defeated.
    49. It then means that in vain You revealed Yourself and all these attributes, even the Deity in a supreme mission hanging in the air.
    50. He wanted to reveal Himself to His people that He is the God that is not in one place, and that He is not an idol that is static. He started moving to places, and showed Himself wherever He went to.
    51. Father, what else can we see and believe? We have already believed. We are not trying to believe. Nobody believes in His Family. Members of His Family knows that whether good or bad, they are members of that Family.
    52. So, nobody can tutor Me to believe in My Family. We belong to the Family of Christ. Nobody tutored us into it. We proceeded from God and we are going back to God. Wherever the Family of God is identified, we are there.
    53. Thank you LORD! Give all these souls and those that are afar off, as many as belong to You this revelation of this wonderful truth this morning.

     

    1. Although we incorporated it as prayers and supplications, but they are direct messages to us.
    2. Create believing hearts in all that belong to You to believe the truth and nothing but the truth. Sift away all forms of falsehood and lies that do not profit.
    3. This morning O God, we are here bending our heads low at Thy feet saying, “Speak directly to us. We shall hear. Help us to understand, and we shall obey.”
    4. Whoever You are going to use to talk to us, make that person a living oracle. Dwell in him. Turn the tongue against anything false. Turn the heart the mind and the brain against anything false. May nothing but the truth and the truth alone proceed from the person’s lips.
    5. Whether that person believes in You or not, never use him to deceive Your people. Never allow the devil to use the tongue to deceive Your people.
    6. Even if that person is Balaam in our midst, that which You did to Balaam, do it to him. With his heart, let him curse, but with his mouth, let him bless Your people, for a blessed people cannot be cursed.
    7. Father remain our righteousness, for You were the righteousness of our fathers in the wilderness. In their stiff-nakedness, in their hardheartedness, in their unyielding and unbending conditions, Father, You never denied Your identification with them.
    8. And the Prophet saw You standing in their midst and declared them as holy and righteous, being that the righteous One, the holy One was standing in their midst. So, they were covered in His holiness and in His righteousness.
    9. In the same way this morning, may all Your children worldwide be covered and wrapped completely in Your holiness and in Your righteousness because the Righteous Branch is here Whose influence is felt among the Elect worldwide, who will be our righteousness and remain our righteousness.
    10. Help us as we proclaim that we should also anchor it deep in our heart wherever we go that the LORD God Almighty is our righteousness. We have no other righteousness that can be called our own.
    11. Help us to be found in You at all times not holding anything that can be credited to any of us as our self-achieved righteousness which is like a filthy rag before you.
    12. May we hold on very firmly to that Your righteousness which You have used in covering us, for that is Your presence among us. May it attract heavenly blessings upon your children worldwide – even heavenly protection, heavenly comfort, heavenly peace, heavenly unity.
    13. Father, I say THANK YOU for hearing My supplications and attending to My prayers as One you listen to.
    14. For Your Name’s sake Father, we pray. Amen!

    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. Your murmuring, your complaining o, your criticism o, whether it suits you or not, it makes no meaning, because what is written is written. Greater than any ink, greater than any biro is in My palm. Let Me tell you. The best thing a friend seeks from a nice friend is a warm handshake, a warm welcome. Has this prophesy come to pass? A good number of us are still alive and the thing has happened at last. If that is the case, we are expecting the rest to come in the same manner others are happening. So the rest will also line up, for He that proclaimed those that came to pass is He that proclaimed those that we are waiting [for] and He is still saying more.

     

    THE SON OF MAN

    FORGET NOT WHAT YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN PART 2; Preached on Sunday 6th August 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 111 vs. 57 – 60

     

     

    1

    KNOWN UNTO GOD ARE ALL HIS WORKS

     

     

     
    • To God be the glory. Great things He has done.
    1. Let Me use this opportunity to announce the passing on of Deacon Anslem of Egbema. He passed on yesterday evening. So he joined the world beyond.
    2. The LORD allowed it to be so at the age of 69. Nearly, he could have touched 70, but by faith, he touched 70. I say, by faith, he touched 70.
    3. He is a very happy worshipper. Whatever might be his shortcomings are common among men. I know him to be one that made a strong pledge to serve God till death, and he served God till death. And God never failed him.
    4. I give God the praise. I thank God on the behalf of the family. They tried their best.
    5. Be seated. By the time I was alerted yesterday, he was in coma. I tried to hold My peace, but the groaning needed attention because of what he ate that provoked the sickness we had already taken care of.
    6. I told them what to do. I told them to go to the nearest hospital so that a doctor can give him a little drug to stabilize him. Give him hydrocortisone injection. He will stabilize.
    7. But along the way, the devil waited for them. God allowed the devil to be there because his time for departure was come.
    8. I remember my discussion with him about three days ago. He was very healthy and always rejoicing.
    9. Last week, he sent his little token for thanksgiving for the child that graduated and always full of appreciation.
    10. So, while they were going to the hospital, the wife was in the motorcycle with him and both were carried by a hired motorcyclist.
    11. Along the way mistakenly, maybe the wife was carried away, the legs of the husband entered the wheel of the motorcycle that was on top speed because it was on emergency. The legs entered the wheel, and the spokes crushed the legs.
    12. You see! Somebody was escaping from a bear, and the lion waited. When God had already said farewell, there is nowhere he will go. Then bleeding now became another problem.
    13. They shouted on the highway. Before they regained consciousness, and then took off again, a lot of blood was lost.
    14. When they got to the hospital, his condition was ignored, for the challenge before the doctor was the legs. He started stitching.
    15. Then, they sent for their Pastor, who came from Omoku in Rivers State. By the time Pastor Chijioke could get there, it was a little late. Yet, they were still stitching because they had to close the wounds first so as to avoid infection.
    16. By the time the whole thing ended, the situation became irrestorable.
    17. But I had already concluded the matter. It is better he departs now than to wait further because the reports reaching Me from the family cannot help Me to allow him to stay further.
    18. For how many years now, he ceased from normal operations. Remember, he was the one that was paralyzed.
    19. Do you not know the person I am talking about? I am talking about Deacon Anslem who was paralyzed – legs, hands up. He is the one I vowed that he must walk, stand before Me and testify of the goodness of the LORD.
    20. And it came to pass. You saw him at the GTC. He came and testified of the goodness of the LORD and then handled a Message, “I AM CONVINCED. ARE YOU CONVINCED?” That is the preacher.
    21. So, from that time, God took over because of the too many problems that pervade a man in the family, and these were problems posed to him by his sons and daughters.
    22. From time to time, the son was either arrested by IPOB or police for he was always causing trouble. He was involved in accidents of all sorts with motorcycles and always paying for damages and paying ransom to rescue him.
    23. So, the man was grossly upset. BP now became a problem, but God helped and we continued to stem down the tide. Where there are continuous provocations, every attempt to control BP will be abortive.
    24. You cannot control your emotions and temper in a provocative environment. That is why you must raise your children in a godly and peaceful way so that at your old age, you will have peace.
    25. If you have a disobedient child, a stubborn child who is reckless, that child alone is enough to upset the entire family, for no family will like the name of the family to be noised abroad for evil.
    26. You see, often times, what people try to avoid is what befalls them. The devil will fight you, using everything around you. When the devil wants to torment you and he cannot get you directly, he can use your child and keep you restive because of your child.
    27. From time to time, you are invited to come to the police or to come to the security. Remember, we are human beings. Every upset affects our body system. Did you get the Message? Every upset! Every upset!
    28. I use the case of our Brother who is there in Ondo. From testimonies reaching Me yesterday evening, he was glorifying God.
    29. He said, “Daddy, from that hour You spoke to me and conditioned me– from that hour till this last night, I never rook any pill I collected from the teaching hospital again.”
    30. He said that that same hour that night, the LORD took over. His brain calmed down and his body calmed down. He said that he went to bed and slept like a kid.
    31. And from that time till now, he confessed that he has been enjoying peace in his heart because I spoke to him at length. I touched on many things that upset human beings, especially official exigencies.
    32. Nigeria is not a country where somebody should mortgage his life. Nobody should die because of Nigeria. Die because of Nigeria, you died in vain.
    33. Watch all these people that think they are patriots. They are not patriots. Who is recognizing their patriotism? Who is recognizing it? Who even remembers their loved ones they left behind. Pray that your own should stay. I say, pray that your own should stay.
    34. That is why today, a good number of wives today now join hands with their husbands to enlist in police, civil defense and army together so that they will die together. Nobody will live to mourn the other.
    35. But it is a wrong decision. They do not take into consideration what happens to their children they left behind. This is because once you are in that useless condition, you cannot predict where you are going to stop.
    36. Your colleagues can stop you abruptly. Anything can stop you abruptly. The people you are pursuing can turn around to pursue you. Do you not see it happen?
    37. Gunmen pursuing gunmen. Exchange of fire in a battle from time to time. Before you know it, you will hear, “We neutralized.”You neutralize them and they neutralize you also. Yes! In your attempt to neutralize, they equally neutralize some of you. Who knows who will fall victim.
    38. What am I saying? Death is not death until somebody dies outside Christ. Death is not death until somebody dies outside Christ.
    39. If you die outside Christ, you are dead. If you die in Christ, you are sleeping. The son of man must surely wake you up.
    40. On that day, we must see Deacon Anslem and embrace him. You must behold the hands of the LORD once again. Believe it because I am telling you and not because the Scriptures foretold or that the Prophets foretold. No no no no! I am the Resurrection and the life. Nobody leaves the scene without consulting Me. I must see the person passing.
    41. So, his own has reached the point where there was no need allowing him because allowing him to continue means sentencing him to hell, for his family is getting worse with every passing day.
    42. And what he is seeing happening among his children is not something he can control. This is because he is sitting down in one place. He will engage himself in continuous anger, continuous talking and continuous grief. So, do not live your life in grief. You see. It does not profit anything.
    43. That is why I like the time God cut short the life of Elder Nwobu. This is because when it came to the point of his own children reporting him to Me, they have gotten him. I knew about old age and what his reaction was likely to be, even those living with him in the same compound.
    44. So, immediately he called Me and told Me his condition, I enquired about his age. He told Me. I said, “Ok. That is all I need. You are resting. I am not giving you drugs. Amarachi has told Me that you requested for drugs. I am not supplying even one packet.”
    45. I called Amarachi, “If you give drugs, collect My money. Collect money before you give because he is dying.” Amarachi, did I not tell you? [She replied, “Sir, you said so.”]
    46. Brethren, do you not know about it. Elders, you know. If you dispense my drugs collect money instantly from him. He is not going to live. He will die. That same week, he died.
    47. If the wife is acquainted with Me, she would have known that from that hour I enquired of his age and I said Ok, it is all over. She should have known what I had in mind. The question was, “How old is he?”
    48. I can never write on his funeral poster, “Gone too soon”. I hope you are hearing Me. Neither will I write, “With regrets…” There is no regret. He lived a fulfilled life.
    49. A fulfilled life is a life spent in serving God and humanity and not when you have devoteD youR time to your earthly concerns, being selfish and narrow-minded, to the extent that for anything pertaining to God, you feel indifferent – “It does not concern me”, but your death will become the concern and responsibility of the children of God.
    50. I pray there should not be anybody who will fall within that ambit, who will depart today or tomorrow.
    51. Onitsha, I have already told you upstairs. What is happening now was prophesied by THE SON OF MAN. It is contained in your Message, not even last year and not even seven months ago. Just recently!
    52. Look into your jotters. You will see the prophecy written there that now, seeing what is happening among you, the hour has come for you to start burying corpses again. Not even relations, but people drawn from among you, for that process of elimination is now on. It is now on.
    53. It does not know who you are, but recognizes only what you are. I say, I am on a process that does not recognize what you are but who you are. Did you get the Message?Who you are is not what you are. Who you are may not be what you are. Do you understand what I am saying?
    54. You may be a Pastor, but actually a devil. You may be an Apostle, but you are actually a chief of demons. You are an Apostle by nomenclature, by office, by status, by human or church ordination or whatever you may call it. You may be an Apostle by selective appointment, but you are a naked devil.
    55. Do we have such people? There were many people who claimed to be Apostles, but they were proved to be false. Too many have claimed to be Ministers of God’s righteousness. That is claim.
    56. To make a claim is man; To verify the claim is God. We heard it in yesterday’s Message of those who claim to be the children of God. People who claim to be the children of God. They are the ones that claim to be the children of God. Has God said that they are His children?
    57. You are not a child of God until God has proclaimed you as such. Make your claim and wait for God to confirm it.
    58. Remember the Message, “APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION” [Preached on Sunday 28th June 2020] Three stages!

     

     

    I am a Ministering Spirit. If you do not believe that God is a Spirit, you have not believed God fully. God is a visible Spirit, but what I do not believe is that God is an invisible spirit. Na lie! God is a visible spirit. For you as a messenger of God, you are also a ministering spirit. Is it not scriptural? So, denying that God is a spirit means denying yourself that you are a spirit. Yes! I am a spiritual man and I understand all things and I judge all things. I mean, spiritual things are meant for spirits. Is it not true? Spiritual things are meant for those who are spirits. …… Being a spiritual man, he now judges all things, and he, no man can judge for He understands the things of the spirit. If God is a spirit, I am a spirit. I have the mind of God. I know all things. Amen.

    THE SON OF MAN

    THE BASIS OF OUR FAITH EXPLAINED Preached on Sunday 18th October 2015 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 52 vs. 4 – 6 & Pg. 54 vs. 10

     

    2

    Spirits do not die

     

     

    1. Whatever you want to arrogate to yourself is your right, even powers you do not possess, but God knows who you are and the stuff you are made up of.
    2. What if He publishes youR name as disclaimer, claiming what you are not which is the basis of human failures?
    3. The origin of human failures isthe over-estimation of one’s self. Over-estimation of one’s self. You carry yourself above your shoulders.
    4. Humility becomes a thing of the past. Everything associated with pride and arrogance will be found in you. Then, at the end, you will receive a title, “A Supreme Liar!” A supreme liar.
    5. You know what it takes for one to be a supreme liar. The person is not an ordinary liar, but a superlative liar. The highest degree of lying is traceable to that human being. A forensic liar! I say, forensic liar.
    6. So, when you want to advocate for a liar, be very careful. Be very careful, lest a liar will put you into trouble. You may be defending a liar because the person is a Brother or a Sister by your own assessment.
    7. You may even know everything about the person, but maybe because of what you are gaining from the person in one way or the other, you decide to compromise so as to allow the relationship to continue. You are the biggest fool! I say, the biggest fool.
    8. Tell Me what you will get from that person that will not end one day.
    9. If there be anything I was benefitting from Deacon Anslem and I fooled him into believing lies so that that thing will continue, now he is dead, will I not feel disappointed?
    10. You see why You Must Make friendship with truth. Make friendship with truth. Never patronize lies. Many of us patronize lies that is why we delight ourselves in lying words, lying signs, lying wonders and lying everything everything. Things that contain no truth.
    11. That is what we delight ourselves in provided we will make a good living out of it, for man has become so corrupt that wherever he finds opportunity to make money, he does not care what goes in and out there.
    12. All he is mindful of is grab, grab, grab. The opportunity has come. Opportunity comes only but once. If I miss it now, no more! Grab, grab, grab, grab, grab. He will grab eternal hell. And he will return it, but God will say no.
    13. Grab, grab, grab, and Judas grabbed 30 pieces of silver. When he noticed that it was just a drop in a bucket when compared to his problems in life and that his lot was by far greater than the 30 pieces of silver, he ran back to return the money to the place where he collected it.
    14. The people said, “Nay! Agreement is agreement. We bound ourselves together in the agreement of life. How dare you bring the money to us? We will not touch it o. Hand over the man to us. Finish!”
    15. He ran to the master and his colleagues, dropped the money on the ground and said, “Please, look at the money I collected. I do not need it please. I do not! I do not! Please deliver me.”Everybody ignored him and went away.
    16. He ran to an open land, went to the tree there, examined it and it was proper for him to climb and hang himself. He dropped the money at the foot of the tree, climbed up with a rope from his pocket and hanged himself.
    17. Then, that money was seen there. They counted it. Everybody said it was the money Judas collected from the people he aligned himself with, and then betrayed his Master.
    18. They went further to say, “Judas! So, this is the way you ended your life on this tree. We will never touch this money. Rather, this money will be given to the owner of this land in exchange for this land. And from this day, this land shall be called the land of blood, for that is where the Messiah was betrayed.”
    19. And up till today, nobody purchased that land. Nobody has the heart to erect his structure there. It is one of the sights people visit there whenever they go there for pilgrimage. There are many relics of those things you see in the holy Scriptures existing till today.
    20. It is just like here in Nsugbe. I can take you to the place where a reverend father was carried away by witches and wizards while he was sleeping in his house. They carried him and placed the bed on top of a tree and left it hanging there. He remained there till day break, but his house and everything was locked.
    21. This was all because he preached against the Witchcraft and wizardry of Nsugbe land. He preached against Nsugbe witches and wizards, saying that it is non-existent. And the church committee members – men and women – went to him and warned him.
    22. He said no and that they should try it on him if it really exists. They said ok. He went to bed and slept, but in the morning, he saw himself on top of a tree. There was no wind.
    23. That place where it took place, till today, no Nsugbe man or woman ever erected a structure there. It was a mud house. It is falling, but the relics are still there. Anybody that is in doubt should follow me and go to My in-laws’ house at Ogwari, and you will see it there.
    24. That is why, if I tell you that the devil is still alive, believe it because the devilis not yet dead. There is no Scripture that said that the LORD Jesus destroyed the devil. He can destroy the works of the devil, but the time for the destruction of the devil is not yet come.
    25. The first world He [God] destroyed, he never destroyed the devil for the devil operates in spirit form. All of them went to the Lithosphere and became a part of the air, but when the water receded, they came down again.
    26. Human beings came out of the ark. They became human beings also, but greater in number.
    27. If you do not believe in Me, who then will you believe in? I am telling you that the devil exists with his legions of demons. These demons, we call them evil spirits, and all of them are here with you in human forms.
    28. If you have not been privileged to see any, do not say that the devil does not exist. We are shaking the hands of a good number of them.
    29. We have eaten from their hands. We have had many things in common with them thinking we were sitting with human beings, but before we want to go out, they escape. They vanished into thin air.
    30. Only then will you know that you had a dealing with a spirit. That that one did not harm you is may be because God protected you or that one is a holy ghost. We have holy ghost. We have unholy ghosts.
    31. Holy Ghost is a man. Do you not know what a ghost is? A ghost is a human being that presents himself to his fellow human beings in form of apparition.
    32. They discuss with people. Often times, they marry and have children. If you do not believe they marry and have children, did I not marry?
    33. Who erected this house? Who made it impossible for people outside his home to recognize Him? Why do you think that He has remained hiding from the rest of the world, but reveals Himself to His own?
    34. Why do you think He is harmless. Why are you comfortable staying with Him, discussing, chatting, preparing His food, sleeping with Him and having everything in common with Him? Why do you feel comfortable?
    35. It is because He is harmless. It is because He is a Holy Ghost. He is a Ghost. He that has the power to appear and to disappear. He has the power to travel as a thought. You think that you are here with Him, but He has gone round the world and come back, revealing Himself wherever He went to.
    36. And people will see no other person than the same person that is sitting down here and talking. I have never used another man’s picture to reveal Myself to any country since I revealed Myself to the world. My picture has always remained unique. Watch all these ones. I allowed you to capture them. Some of them, I captured Myself, trying to convince the people that I really visited them. Look at the evidence. I left indelible footprint on the sands of time so that whenever they remember it, they will know that God is not far from where they are.
    37. There are things that will happen around you that will make you to believe that God is where you are. Things happen here in My family and the people concerned may not know it.
    38. If I call your name or engage in a discussion where your name appeared, and your call came, you heard My Voice. You heard My Voice. And there was no better time that you will call than that time. Even if I do not disclose it to you, I will laugh and tell you, and tell the people around, “Can you see?”This is how I know those who are strongly acquainted with Me.
    39. Oftentimes, you may have Me in mind and carry your handset. While you are scrolling, My call will come. You were scrolling for My Name.
    40. Sometimes, you will scroll it out and send it, but My call will be terminating your own with the message, “Line busy! Line busy!” Once you stop, your phone will start ringing.
    41. At anytime the thought of the son of man filters into your mind, He is standing beside you.He is only far from the wicked.
    42. When you are engaging in anything that runs contrary to the teachings I have given to you, I stay aloof, watch you from a distance, until you conclude it.
    43. The moment you conclude it, a sure sign that you know what you did, and God caught you, no matter how fast you think you are, there must be a flashing red light that will cross your eyes.
    44. You will pause instantly, even if you are driving. You will know that you saw a Light across your eyes. And it will not come back again. It is signaling to you that you have been caught. Are you through? You can go your way.
    45. You thought nobody saw you, but that Light saw you so as to convince you that it flashed, unless you do not belong to God.
    46. The eyes of God are upon His own 24 hours of the day. God has nothing to monitor around the wicked ones that do not serve Him. Anybody that is not serving God, there is nothing God has in mind concerning him that will make Him to begin to monitor the person. No!
    47. You can only monitor somebody who is attached to you just to know how he is faring and everything about the person. You go with him wherever he goes.
    48. God goes with us wherever we go. That is the essence of assigning all these Ministering Angels to minister to those that are heirs of salvation.Is it not scriptural?
    49. So, we are ministering spirits. God sends ministering spirits to all of you. If you are staying without a ministering spirit, you are in the region of the lost.
    50. You are only camouflaging yourself among the living so that they will accord you honour while organizing one feast or the other or maybe, on the day of your burial, they will tell you that you have gone to heaven.
    51. What will happen on that burial day will tell the whole world that you knew not God. If you knew not God while you are alive, will you know Him when you die?
    52. So, it is very,very necessary that we begin now to address the truth and stop patronizing falsehood – things that contain no truth.
    53. I know that a lie is easier to believe than the truth. I say, a lie is easier to believe than truth. Truth is very difficult for people to say amen to.
    54. Do you know that a powerful friendly choice. Powerful friendly choice that he that believes a lie do not even verify it. They do not even care to know whether the person talking to them is lying or not. Nobody settles down to verify lies, provided lies offer him the desires of his heart. Am I speaking the truth?
    55. When lies offer a man the desires of his heart, is there any room for investigation or scrutiny? He will be “glorifying God”, telling people that he has made it, “It has finally arrived.” What arrived? He has gotten what he desires.

     

    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.

    GOD’S INSTRUMENT OF

    LEADERSHIP IS DIVINE

     

     

    1. Give Me the Book of James in Living Bible and Amplified version. Let Me earmark it with this Scripture before I hand over to the Pastor.
    2. Any day you see Me here and God opens My mouth to talk to you, regard yourselves as blessed people. This is because I have given you My timetable. One of this day, it shall be over.
    3. The LORD Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. If I am the continuation and the consummation, I know where I am going to stop. And I know the night that will be My last night with all of you. I know My last day with all of you.
    4. I know everything last, for He that is in Me does not sleep. He guides Me. He speaks to you through Me. He tells Me what to do and what not to do for I represent His interest.
    5. He is not far from Me. He lives in Me. I sleep with Him, and I wake up with Him. Any day He says I will not sleep, I will not sleep.
    6. Let us go to the Scriptures. James 4 from verse 1, the Living Bible.
    7. 1What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn’t it because there is a whole army of evil desires within you? Note!
    8. Then, who will fulfill these evil desires? God or devil? You see why foolish people, unreasonable people, hypocrites among us that have these evil desires, they do not care, provided their desires are met.
    9. Whatever that has alleviated their impoverished conditions, they will attribute it to God whether God has a hand in it or not.
    10. I love God for one thing. If you walk according to his directives, He places no stumbling block. Did you Get the Message?
    11. How I wish our Pastor’s eye of understanding will open wider through this experience they are having now.
    12. When they were complaining that the wife enlisted in the Youth Service, and was shortlisted but was not called, and this and that, I mentioned one thing to the wife instantly.
    13. I said, “Look! It will work out for your own good. Do not be in a haste. Simply stay. Do not write them. It shall be your turn one day. And when it comes, you will know.”
    14. There is no better time this call-up letter would have come than now. If it came when she was having protruding stomach, Brethren, maybe she would have lost the child and her life.
    15. The strength might not be there for her to be junketing from one vehicle to another or to do the trekking they did at Umuawulu.
    16. Then, begin to think if it came within the period she was nursing this little baby, when the baby was still underaged between 1 and 4 months.
    17. What if it came that time? She would have declined the offer, even if the place of primary assignment was placed behind her house, for that will be very much discomforting.
    18. Now, look at the time it came. When she had already given up her expectations, it now came even at a time when the baby is now walking about.
    19. The baby can be taken care of by anybody wherever the baby is placed, not depending on breast milk or any milk again. She is a full-fledged human being now.
    20. At that time, the thing came, giving her the opportunity to go with her husband. Assuming it came before now, one would have been a baby sitter.
    21. Now, look at how God directed it before the baby was born, “See the way I want you to undertake this Youth Service. If you and your husband will agree with Me, this is exactly My desire.”I voiced it out when the baby was still in the womb.
    22. When the time came, play-play, play-play, the whole thing fulfilled. From that time we made a little argument whether Federal Girls is Oyi LGA or Onitsha, I saidit is in Onitsha North LGA.
    23. They said they saw Oyi, but I told them it is Onitsha North. They said that they wrote Nkwelle, but I said it is Onitsha North.
    24. Then, during the registration, they got there and it became Onitsha North. My counsel prevailed.
    25. I equally told them that I know that school for one thing. They reject Corpers. They normally forward the list of what they need to NYSC.
    26. So, anybody can come there and solicit, but let us pray and let them post her there first. Even if she is not serving there, we have many schools in Onitsha North.
    27. Finally, they came. What I told them came to pass. If she must accept it, the condition was very miserable, and she must start that Friday. No breathing space. You start the following day.
    28. If you do not accept it, you tell us immediately and we cancel it. Instant, not considering her motherhood and not considering the baby and everything.
    29. Then the idea of looking for schools came. I made a suggestion and told them to call Sister Alex’s junior sister. There is a school where she is teaching there at Ogbatuluenyi. They have hostels. They have everything.
    30. The owners are Pentecostal ministers. The man is a pastor. The wife is a pastor. They have their own church. I wonder whether anybody there can cope without compromising his or her own faith.
    31. Nevertheless, there is one. Look at this one. I know the woman who owns that school. When you get there, tell her or anybody that is the vice principal the holistic truth. Do not ever lie. Tell the person exactly what you need. You will be shocked that he will grant it immediately.
    32. And this is a condition that others capitalized on to subject that person to rigorous bidding, “How much are you going to offer us? How much are you going to forfeit from your allowance? Do we get it from the source or do you give us?” They will bring another form and you will sign, for agreement is agreement.
    33. But on getting there [the place I suggested], not twice, they saw the person. He said, “Go and nullify the other one. Whatever might be your paper, bring it here. I will sign for you. Go and have your rest and let us continue. Do not give me one naira. I do not need anything, but if you and your husband voluntarily give anything at all, know that it just your free will offer. As for me and this school, We collect not a dime. Bring your papers. Continually, I will be signing for you.”
    34. Brethren, who can hear this in this present Nigeria and Onitsha in particular. Before the Pastor and the wife got there, God had already arrested the school management.
    35. When it was accomplished, I told them, “Go back to that former school immediately. Nullify everything and proceed to Local Government secretariat.”
    36. They went there that same day. Too many people were littered there whose postings were nullified. Some came to change their locations and things like that.
    37. This is because if the posting must be changed, it must be changed within the same Local government. You cannot be posted outside that Local Government where you received your posting from Abuja.
    38. The affected Corps members will look for schools that will be within this same Onitsha North LGA.
    39. They [the Pastor and his wife] got there. Pastor gave incomplete testimony for reasons best known to him. I heard it yesterday. I heard it yesterday.
    40. When they got there, people were there. The man in charge, the Local Government inspector was the one that saw the wife and signaled her to come. He then asked her, “Madam, what do you want?” ignoring others, as if he knew her.
    41. You were there. [Pastor Chizoba concurred, “That is truth sir.”] I mean, the man ignored everybody including mothers and even some spinsters who came for a reposting because they were rejected by the schools where they went to.
    42. Can you imagine? You just came in there with too many people there, and even very late. The man sitting on the seat saw her and said, “Madam come! What do you want?”
    43. She said, “Sir, look at my reason. I was rejected by the school where I was sent to, and I have found another school.” He said, “You have found another school? Take this paper. Write the name of the school, put your name and everything.” She did.
    44. He said, “Ok, go! This evening, check your portal, and you will see your name appearing there.”
    45. And the Pastor did not give this testimony. I do not blame him because he knew nothing about Youth Service. He read through his private lesson. I call it extra-mural classes. So, he knew nothing about Youth Service other than the fact that he registers them. That is all.
    46. Youth Service experience is a definite experience. No student who passed through it forgets that experience whether at home, in the Local Government or in the camp or even in the place of primary assignment.
    47. I warned Amarachi, “Now that you are going to Metu High School, Onitsha South, look at what they are known for. I have been there with them over the years. Be polite. Be friendly, but do not compromise your faith. They beat teachers.”
    48. I say, they beat teachers. The greater number of teachers are females. They give them stern warning.
    49. At Chukwurah High School, when they finished writing their WAEC on the last day of WAEC exams, they locked the doors, chained the security men and began to rape the teachers openly in the field, beginning with the principal of the college, which attracted the police and security officials.
    50. Unfortunately, they jumped the fence and escaped through Menaks, but a good number of them were caught. They inflicted serious wounds and assaulted many women.
    51. Some even waylay their teachers on the way and beat the hell out of them. Some will even warn teachers in the class, “Be very careful the way you talk to me, not because you have seen me here. I have allowed you today to go. Try it next time on me. I will tell you who I am.”
    52. You think it is an empty threat. If you report to the principal, you will hear, “My dear, use your number six.” You dare not threaten a student, “If you do this, I will flog you.” You! Teacher! You are digging your grave.
    53. There are too many things people encounter during their primary assignments. They form the experiences that are somehow funny, which Youth Corpers normally have.
    54. Amarachi cannot forget the day she was returning from her CDS, only to be waylaid by two armed robbers. One pulled the pistol and pointed at her. She was answering her sister’s call.
    55. He told her, “Do not run. If you run, you will die. Give us the handset. If you run, you will die. She threw the handset to them.”They entered their motorcycle, and then zoomed off. She came back crying and weeping with her eyes red.
    56. These are the experiences. There are so many things we encounter. But look! The experience that started at Awka was about to terminate. Look at how it terminated. On a joyful note.
    57. “Madam, what do you want?” She said it.“Is that all? Now, put your name and everything here. This evening, check your portal.” That same evening, her name appeared with the new school.
    58. This is something that takes some people weeks. I say, it takes some weeks and others, months. You keep on checking your portal, but you will not see anything.
    59. I know what I suffered during Ikem’s own. Remember we have students that suffer a great deal of discomfort in the hands of such unscrupulous people who are manning NYSC in various states. Conditions vary from state to state.
    60. In Rivers State, everybody uses it as opportunity to make money, including people in the government house, after which they will frustrate the person. They will deliberately post that person across the sea so that for you to go for your service, you will spend not less than four hours in the high sea.
    61. Check the money you will be spending on transportation alone. It will be ten times your allowance. For somebody who spends a minimum of ₦7,500 everyday on transportation, how much is the allowance, in spite of other discomforts?
    62. You see. We normally say it in Igbo adage, but let Me say it in English language. Anyone who used ordinary trap to catch a rabbit does not know the labour that is involved [I mean] in catching a rabbit.
    63. The person will not even know the labour, the rigorous task another person passed through who dug the ground to catch the rabbit. He does not know the labour and the rigorous task one who dug through the ground passed through.
    64. The person who dug the ground using a digger can dig up to Mr. Emordi’s compound. When he gets to that point where he will see where the rabbit had eaten, but escaped through another hole. All the efforts will be in vain.
    65. But this other person just set a trap and placed it at the back of the house. In the morning when he comes out, he will see a big rabbit in the trap.
    66. The person will be dancing about. He did not chase the rabbit. Neither did he dig the ground for it. That is what the Pastor’s wife got.
    67. I know that My son tried two times in two different places. In the first reposting after expenses and troubles, we ended it in nullity, for they said that they do not need any Engineer in their school and that they do not have any course he will handle.
    68. He went back and was re-assigned to Buguma in Kalabari. It must be Kalabari Local Government. Now, Buguma. Then, we did everything concerning Buguma. We were assured by government house. We even employed our Brother Collins who is from that place. He used people he knew in the government house.
    69. In spite of all the assurances and the money they said they were remitting to Abuja to do a reposting and so on, we ended it in nullity.
    70. I said, “Ok My dear, human beings are there. Gather your courage. God will see you through.” He accepted. First day, he went at My command, and God came our way. That was where we saw ourselves, and he scaled through.
    71. The person that accosted him became the Local Government Inspector herself, a native of Onitsha whom he knew not. At the end of all discussions, the woman carried him in her vehicle from Buguma to Port Harcourt.
    72. What happened? While they were interacting, the woman enquired about where he was living. He disclosed. Lo and behold, the woman and her family were sojourning in that same street very close to their house, and they knew themselves not.
    73. From that day till now, instead of going to Buguma, the whole thing will stop on the way. You see how God solves problems.

     

     

    13How does God come your way? When? WHEN GOD COMES YOUR WAY OR WHEN HE WANTS TO COME, HE DOES NOT WAIT FOR YOUR INVITATION. IF GOD WANTS TO COME YOUR WAY, HE WILL NOT EVEN DRAW YOUR ATTENTION. 14HE WILL COME BECAUSE HE HAS REMEMBERED YOU, AND HE WILL SURELY COME. SO, ALL YOU NEED IN EVERYTHING IS TO HAVE PATIENCE. That is why I gave you a message ahead of time, you have need of patience. 15For the Scripture said that we have need of patience, and that any time our obedience is fulfilled, we will get the promise. And I want you to understand one pertinent thing concerning God’s promises. Between the time God makes the promises and its time of fulfilment, there is a period of waiting. And it has always been the period of waiting that people make grievous mistakes.

     

    THE SON OF MAN

    BE PATIENT WITH GOD, Preached on Sunday 14th December, 2014 at the Household of God Port-Harcourt [Dedication Service of the first son of Bishop Chidubem Jonathan] Page 82 vs 13 through 15.

     

    4

    YOU HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE [1]

     

     

    1. When God is all out to help, He adds no sorrows to it. Check anything you are indulging in that is full of troubles and no profit comes out of it. What will come out of it will be regrets. Waste!
    2. But when you go in the name of the LORD and in the fear of the LORD, He makes a way for you where there is no way. I love God for that. We have our plans, but we can hardly pray that the will of God must be done.
    3. It is just like I was telling the Elders yesterday. God gave us a Message that we have need of patience. We have need of patience.
    4. And that patience, God himself exercised it. Not only patience, but with patient endurance you get to the end of your journey and you will get your crown.
    5. Then God gave us His own Message directly, “BE PATIENCE WITH GOD” [on Sunday, 14th December 2014]. How many here and beyond this household can tell Me that they have been patient with God?
    6. God has been patient with people, not willing that any should perish. But every man is in a haste in taking decisions against God, in a haste to speak against God, in a haste to act against God and against the truth. Even if God will say, “Relax your mind”, they will never relax.
    7. I have seen everything, but I have not seen one in our own day that is patient with God. God is God of patience, full of longsuffering. How many of you are patient, even with each other? How many of you are patient, even with each other not to talk of being patient with God?
    8. But God said that we have need of patience, for it is only the person that endures to the end that shall be crowned.
    9. Abraham was patient. Sarah was patient. And nobody regretted the time they spent waiting. To wait is to be patient.
    10. Wait after a godly sort, and not when you are waiting, you are murmuring and you are complaining, “I have waited enough. I know what to do with myself. I will do this. I will do that.”
    11. If you know that which you will do with yourself, go ahead and do it and let us see whether there will be any useful thing you will get in this life if not what God gives to you. Is there any gift from the devil that is useful?
    12. Check it. If there be anybody who claims that what he got from the devilis useful to him or her, let the person show us that thing.
    13. You know what you will do with yourself. I have waited for a long time. That is a human being.
    14. Nobody is patient with God. Then, if you are not patient with God, can God be patient with you? Before you know it, God will run out of patience with you because of your too many worries. When God says you worry a lot, you worry a lot. And worry is a silent killer.
    15. Instead of praying a lot, you are worrying a lot. Some do not even pray. They carry their worries to God. what they call prayer becomes complaint. It becomes the demonstration of their anger, but they call it prayer. It is not prayer! Prayer is marked by humility. Prayer is marked by respect. True or false?
    16. How can you go to God and you are commanding God? You are giving God mandate, “If I wait from now till next month… In short, latest end of this month, I will know what I will do for Myself.”
    17. So, you are threatening God because you feel you are so important that by now, God should have attended to you. What makes you important? What makes you feel you are important or indispensable to God.
    18. And you have not even cared to know whether God has recognized you as a worshipper or not, which is the most important thing. Has God ever recognized you as a true worshipper? God Has recognized you as a churchgoer?
    19. EVERY CHURCHGOER COMES TO GOD BEGGARLY, BUT A TRUE WORSHIPPER COMES TO GOD WHETHER GOD WILL PROVIDE OR NOT. HE DOES NOT CARE, FOR HE IS SURE AND CERTAIN THAT WHILE GOD LIVETH AND HE LIVES, HE WILL NEVER GO BEGGARLY.
    20. No child of God goes beggarly until he makes himself prodigal. When you become a prodigal child, you go beggarly, but when you are a faithful child that is worthy of your parents’ confidence, you can never go beggarly, for they know all your needs.
    21. He that told you to surrender all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you, is He foolish? He said that you should be careful for nothing, but through prayers and supplications, bring all your needs to Him, and then go home and have your rest.
    22. But often times, we give mandate. Let me wait for the next two months. Let me wait from now till end of the year. If I do not see anything,…
    23. That which you say if you do not see, you will never see it till eternity. Even if that thing is at the brink of fulfilling, God will withdraw it and watch your countenance to know whether you will change the surface of the earth.
    24. You see. To worship God is very easy. To worship God is just to surrender your life to Christ and Christ alone. Finish!
    25. You do not care what goes out or what comes in. All you know is that you are resting in His hands. Even if He wants to butcher you, it is all in His hands.
    26. He wants to set you free for you to remain alive, all in His hands, but the truth is that you are sure and certain that He means well to you, that His thoughts towards His children are thoughts of good and not of evil to give them the best of the end like this child here.
    27. Look at the way the child is relaxing here, fearing nothing. She can never suspect that the parents can kill her. She can never suspect that they can carelessly drop her on the ground in anger or resent her. This thought can never fizzle into her. She feels secure.
    28. No matter who is carrying the baby, the moment the parents come around, you see the baby reacting. Is it not true? No matter how comfortable she might be feeling, that is when the parents are not around.
    29. And when she is trying to break away, you cannot stop her. She will force herself down or even raise alarm. If the parents will ignore her and walk away, heaven will fall.
    30. He that is carrying this baby will be forced to run after the parents to surrender her to the parents. Only then will she heave a sigh of relief.
    31. I am using this child to type our relationship with God. You think that God woke up one morning and asked people to begin to come down here on earth. Do you know how many years it took Him to take the decision to bring you here on earth to join people that are here?
    32. All these people that are here on earth, man and woman, having sexual intercourse till the day they will die without even registering one pregnancy, what can you say about it?
    33. Have you not seen a man that married five wives without an issue? Even some of the wives remarried without an issue. Have you not seen one that married and had nine females? In anger, he went and picked another wife and produced six females. On the whole, fifteen.
    34. I use Mr. Ojinika, My colleague who is from Ihiala. I have told you that here. Then later, the first wife conceived again and that was the tenth one in the village when the man had already retired.
    35. The wife in the township who was selling banana at Court Road conceived again – the seventh one. Both of them gave birth and they all turned out to be males. The one at home gave birth to a male child. The one at Onitsha, male child.
    36. Ojinika was numbered among the people that were always raising the aura but it contains no truth. And that is the superiority of males over females. He was vowing that he will have five boys and one girl.
    37. Let Me tell you. Man proposes, but God disposes.
    38. I have told you this. When I was coming up in life, I said to Myself, “If in this life I will marry, I will only have two boys and one girl and then, stop. I cannot over flood Myself with children like My father did who had nine children without any means of livelihood, which made all of us to go out as slaves. I would not like to start My family in that order again. I will bite the much I can chew.”
    39. That was My own decision while I was coming up, if I will marry. Conditional! But when I got married, I had already drifted away from that paganism and from that idolatrous thinking about life.
    40. I am now a full-fledged Minister of the Gospel. All those things were behind Me by the time I married. The reality of life was already before Me.
    41. Then, I started receiving blessing of children. Number one, female. Number two, female. Three, female. Four, female. Nothing bulged Me. I was not in anyway confused.
    42. My wife was the only one that was trying to express her feelings from time to time, but not with angry resentment. I blamed her, “I have taught you all these things. Destroy all those books you purchased on family planning. Stop listening to the Doctor who has only but one boy. The three girls are there. You mean that the doctor has no need for another boy. Why listening to him? He should use that information he is giving you on the wife who is still at the productive age – a nurse for that matter at the Psychiatric hospital. Do you not know Iloghalu of Mercy Specialist Hospital? We do not have two doctors. Do you not know the wife? A psychiatrist nurse.”
    43. Then, when I convinced My wife and she dropped the latest she bought by Dr. Nwangolo, for she wanted Me to read, but I told her, “I have nothing to learn from this book. Destroy it.”
    44. She said, “Daddy, it was expensive. I bought it in the hospital”, but I told her, “Doubt Me not. Destroy it. Let Me not see any figment of anything family planning in our house, for if I needed them, I would have purchased them before I married you.”
    45. But look at the books I had, preparing Myself for marriage life and for an ideal, godly family, intending to prepare My wife to know what it takes to marry a man of God.
    46. Watch the authors of those books both within and outside Nigeria. Watch all My books in Philosophy and so on with list of contemporary issues.
    47. When I convinced her that I am the one that needed that male child more than her, I let her know that I do not need one that will succeed Me here on earth. I need a successor to the Throne. That is what I need.
    48. I do not care where that successor is coming from, for I am occupying a position that is not meant for father and son together.
    49. She said, “Eh! Which successor?” I said, “When you know Me, you will know the truth. I told you that to know Me is not a day’s work. It is gradually.”
    50. Then when she took in, I said, “This is a male child.” She said, “What? A male child? In this family again when my mother ran away?” I said, “Your mother ran away, not knowing that she is a woman like you. You are pregnant. What will come out of this womb is a male child.”
    51. And from the first day, I ban you from going to Mercy specialist. Go to Court Road. I took her by Myself, registered her with the Nurse there, Mrs. Muoma, and I told her, “Please take care of My wife. This is where I want to deliver this baby.” She said, “Daddy, fear not.”
    52. And I was a member of the governing council of that Welfare Board. There she attended all her ante-natal services and so on.
    53. On the day of delivery, she delivered a male child. I rushed there, saw her and Mode. I kissed her and said, “You see this child? He is a testimony to the glory of God. He is a testimony to the glory of God. That is all. From now, if you want to have males up to twenty, you are free. You will not deliver any female child again.” She laughed, and we left.
    54. As we journeyed along, the miracle started happening. Wisdom who we thought was dumb started talking. The tongue-tie was removed. Yet, he could not talk and he could not cry. He was always watching us. One day, he started talking.
    55. Before our eyes, Wisdom jumped the gutter without crawling, and without standing which shook the whole of Benjamin. You know this truth.
    56. We watched the toes up till today. we discovered that the toes were those of My late mother who Wisdom joined hands in burying. All My children saw My parents and dined with them. Wisdom came with My mother’s legs and My stature.
    57. We were watching. Wisdom started talking with preaching because he was born and brought up at a time we were doing serious excommunications.
    58. Sister Esther was with Me. Wisdom will be babbling like a child he was, “Sister Esther! Bad behaviour! Kelechi! Speak the truth harder! Speak the truth harder.” He formed a microphone all by himself, “Praise the LORD! Alleluia!”
    59. And he will be sweating profusely and with his left hand, he will be wiping the sweat away. Everywhere will be set on fire. That is the much I want to share there.

     

     

     

    16God’s help will come, but you will never labour to get it. It must surely come your way at the appointed time. But the problem with man has been the problem of impatience. 17I do not care the way you look at it. Even if human beings are responsible for your frustration, the Lord has permitted them to do that as a test of your faithfulness to God. He wants to know whether you will run to and fro or whether you will call Christ in that time of crisis.

     

    THE SON OF MAN

    BE PATIENT WITH GOD, Preached on Sunday 14th December, 2014 at the Household of God Port-Harcourt [Dedication Service of the first son of Bishop Chidubem Jonathan] Page 115 vs 16 through 17.

    YOU HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE [2]

     

     

    1. Up till today, we still watch him as we watch others. You know the testimony of My wife concerning the remaining two. So they came.
    2. Look at this one, Chukwudi. I was in Jos when bleeding started in Onitsha. I came back and saw her in isolation. She was isolated by Dr. Ojiakor, Dr. Ogechi Igwe and Sister Chika, but I said no.
    3. I removed the drips and everything and ordered all of them inside the Fellowship Hall, “Go and jump! Nothing will happen. I am here. The bleeding ceased.” This is something she had never experienced since we got married.
    4. They insisted that I must go for checkup for the blood she lost and this and that. I said, “Sir, I have heard you. Is it by force.” I went nowhere. I saw the pregnancy developing very well. I did not go anywhere for checkup. I did not go to any doctor. Neither did I go to any hospital.
    5. The devil came again when she went to toilet and fell down unconsciously. The wound remained on her forehead until she was buried. That afternoon, hell was let loose. It was on a Saturday.
    6. I rushed her with My station wagon in the company of Mama Oganiru of Grace of God – the wife of their Pastor and Okey Nwamkpa.
    7. I used My towel to cover the whole head soaked in blood, for she hit the forehead on the pavement, and with the seven months pregnancy, she hit the pavement.
    8. We went to Dr. Ogechi’s hospital at Woliwo. He stitched everything. I washed off the blood on My towel, and then helped Okey Nwamkpa and Mama Oganiru back. I remained in the hospital with her.
    9. In the morning, we came back to the house. We opened the gate, for we were holding the spare key. Our children had already gone to Fellowship. We prepared and went to Fellowship.
    10. By the time we came back, there was a big crowd in the yard. The daughter of our co-tenant Stephen Umenwonye from Alor who was healthy– they prepared the baby, laid the baby in the couch. Before he finished his preparation with the wife and the rest of the children to go to church, the baby died. They discovered that the baby was a corpse.
    11. Immediately we came down from the vehicle and entered the yard, those who saw Me with My wife in the afternoon, they did not know how we came back and went to Fellowship together with My wife.
    12. My landlady came in, saw My wife and rejoiced. We told her all we experienced because they saw us.
    13. Then, the following day, rumours went rife that death entered My house to take My wife away and I pushed the death upstairs to go and select somebody there. They rumoured that I am known for that. [Oh!]And lies spread faster.
    14. They started using Chekwube’s case. The dead body that was brought to Me from Nsukka by the parents. And then, cases involving Kelechi and Amankem who were almost dead when they were brought to My house.
    15. For the fact that they could see people being carried to My house behind that building, instead of dying, they will see them walk out alive, everybody went about saying that I belong to the occult and that I am a society man. I did not defend anything. I do not defend a lie.I give God the glory.
    16. So, we are going to overcome, by the Word of God and by the word of our testimonies. Do not ever withhold God’s testimonies. Do not ever let the testimonies of what God has done to cease from flowing out of your mouths.
    17. Human beings are fond of testifying of what the devil has done, havoc the devil caused, but they find it difficult to declare the goodness of the LORD in this their generation.
    18. I will declare the goodness of the LORD, the mercies of the LORD in this generation and beyond. We sing it in our song.
    19. So, if you want to give testimony, give full testimony of what the LORD has done, not half and half, testifying of Who started it, Who completed it and how. This is so that it will help others tomorrow.
    20. Youth Service never started with your wife and will not end with your wife. Too many others have started enlisting.
    21. Give your testimonies so that they will know what transpired. It will help them to build their faith in Christ and not upon any human being.
    22. When we trusted human beings to help us, they failed, but when God came our ways, we succeeded. Even when we never invited God, God decided to intercept us on the way. What I am telling you is the truth I have witnessed with My own eyes. Believe My testimony. It is according to truth.
    23. Often times, God will intercept us on the way, for He would not like us to go to the extreme.
    24. If you call Pastor Thomas, he will tell you what we experienced in his daughter, Ifeoma, and how much spent. And for the last amount, I resisted and told him, “Do not remit. Use it for something else. Any money you are paying to an unknown person is a wasted money.”
    25. They told you, “Look at the way you will pay it”, and you just lodge in the money. Do you know the person. Anybody can claim to be the Major General in charge of Youth Service. You do not know him.
    26. And no Major General will detail a staff anywhere to collect money from you. They establish platforms for themselves. After which, they will close the platforms. Next session, they will open a new one.
    27. So, your testimonies will go a long way in helping people who are also in the same line up where your wife is moving up while they are coming behind. True or false?
    28. As the person in front is moving out, the one behind will be progressing forward too.
    29. So, to God be the glory. Be found in Him always. Be found in Christ, doing His will. You will not regret. And stop believing lies.
    30. The Bible never said you should believe lies, but it said, “Prove every spirit. Prove every statement.” The Scriptures said, “Do not believe everything you hear because they say it is from God or it is from Jesus.” No! Prove it! Test it.
    31. Give it the Word test. Balance it and see whether you have seen God in time past doing it and whether the prophet foretold He will do it in the future.
    32. Why do we believe lies easily and very readily. It is because lies oftentimes meet the armies of evil desires in our hearts.
    33. James 4 from verse 1, the Living Bible. 1What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn’t it because there is a whole army of evil desires within you?
    34. You want what you don’t have, so you kill to get it. You long for what others have, and can’t afford it, so you start a fight to take it away from them.
    35. And yet the reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t ask God for it. What? the reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t ask God for it.
    36. And even when you do ask you don’t get it because your whole aim is wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.
    37. 4You are like an unfaithful wife who loves her husband’s enemies. Don’t you realize that making friends with God’s enemies—the evil pleasures of this world—makes you an enemy of God? … Have you heard it?
    38. Who is that God’s enemy? THE EVIL PLEASURES OF THIS WORLD MAKES YOU AN ENEMY OF GOD.
    39. TO HAVE A DESIRE IS NOT EVIL, BUT WHAT MAKES IT EVIL IS WHAT THAT THING IS ALL ABOUT. WHAT ARE YOU DESIRING? AND WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO GAIN OUT OF THAT YOUR DESIRE.
    40. An Igbo adage asked a question thus, “One that is craving to have the entire head of a cow, if that is given to him, what will he do with it?”
    41. James 4:1-4, Amplified version. 1What leads to strife (discord and fueds) and how do conflicts (quarrels and fightings) originate among you? Do they not arise from your sensual desires that are ever warring in your bodily members?
    42. 2You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your desires go unfulfilled; [so] you become murderers. [To hate is to murder as far as your hearts are concerned.] You burn with envy and anger and are not able to obtain [the gratification, the contentment, and the happiness that you seek], so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask.
    43. 3[Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual pleasures.
    44. 4You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God.”
    45. I hope I have not wasted your time.[The Saints chorused, “No sir!”] Thank you! If I waste your time, who then will use your time? Your time here on earth, who is it meant for?

     

     

    I warn all of you this day. If you must live with Me eternally, harken and obey My Word. Keep My Holy Commandments and instruction from My Servant. I, The Lord, have spoken and will perform the oath which I swore by My Name, that I will lead you safely to the end and as long as you keep obeying Me.” This is the Voice of the Holy Spirit.

     

    THE SON OF MAN

    FACING THE FACTS OF OUR FAITH; Preached on Sunday 9th October 2005 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 44 vs. 16

    Safety tips [1]

     

     

    1. Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu: Let me read the Book of James chapter 3 from verse 1 (MSG). 1-2Don’t be in any rush to become a teacher, my friends. … This is an advice to us, we preach, we mount the pulpit, we talk and we teach as a necessity and not because of any other reason because thereunto we are called and ordained.
    2. Actually, I am very sorry for what happened yesterday when I did not give the full testimony of what happened. I even wanted to handle the Message of that yesterday, but I saw that I could not do it, and so I invited the Deacon to please come and take over.
    3. But there was no way I could shy away from giving that testimony when it was still hot because everything transpired that same last week. I know we will have a today, but this is the beginning of a new day and a new week.
    4. Even when we went to that Umuawlu in Awka for the first time, three weeks ago, we saw too many people both lactating mothers and pregnant women. They were there confused.
    5. They applied to serve in Anambra State for their husbands were residing in Anambra State, but they were posted to other very far and distant states. So, they were very much confused and they did not know where to start.
    6. Instead of starting where we started our own, they were talking about how to get a redeployment to Anambra State first before talking of other things.
    7. So, I am saying that the miracle even started on that same day one. God took control of the whole thing from day one.
    8. Even in the one we initially applied for because we live in Anambra East LGA, I filled Anambra East as our local government of residence, but the LORD said that we should have used Onitsha North, for that is where the shop is located.
    9. At the end of the whole thing, you have seen how it happened that the posting still went back to that same Onitsha North LGA. To God’s glory.
    10. James 3 from verse 1, MSG. 1-2Don’t be in any rush to become a teacher, my friends. Teaching is highly responsible work. Teachers are held to the strictest standards. And none of us is perfectly qualified.[At all. At all]
    11. …We get it wrong nearly every time we open our mouths. …Exactly! That is why it is a privilege that God is in our midst. That is why anytime we talk, He will streamline it. If we go to the left, He will say no. You go to the right, he will say no. This is the middle of the road Gospel.
    12. …If you could find someone whose speech was perfectly true, you’d have a perfect person, in perfect control of life. That is truth.
    13. So, God took control of the whole thing from beginning till it was finished. What God cannot do [really] does not exist. Whether he says it or not, He may decide on what to do. If you keep running around, at the end of the day, His will must be done.
    14. Then, if He says it, it goes and it is guaranteed no matter what any human being does. That one has been proved, and no one can annul it. It is better you experience it yourself.
    15. It did not start today. From the time the LORD called me and I have been taking a walk with Him, I have come to know so many things, and that is why I simply said amen and go my way.
    16. Sometimes, He will say that I am not serious. Will I be more serious that God. Once He says something and I have heard it, I just say Amen. If it requires prayer, you go and pray your own way.
    17. It is just like when He told us to be prepared that we are going to bury people very soon. We prayed in our own way, but at the end of the prayer, we prayed like the LORD Jesus Christ who said, “It is not my own will, but Thy will” before you become another Satan when you try to oppose the will of God. So, God is not worshipped with muscle.
    18. SONG: [Just a closer walk with Thee. Grant it Saviour is my plea. Daily walking close to Thee. Let it be, dear LORD. Let it be.
    19. I am weak but Thou art strong, Saviour keep me from all wrong. I’ll be satisfied as long, As I walk let me walk close to Thee.
    20. Just a closer walk with Thee. Grant it Saviour is my plea. Daily walking close to Thee. Let it be, dear LORD. Let it be.]
    21. Danger Signal Explained, Preached on Saturday 25th July 2020 at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN.
    22. Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu:Danger is something that is likely to cause disaffection, cause trouble or cause harm or unpleasant scenario.
    23. Even death. Even death. That is why when you see signals on the high way in some posts, a human skull will be drawn with crossbones.
    24. Another name for signal is symptom. There is no sickness without symptoms. Death has symptoms.
    25. There are certain conditions somebody will find him or herself or a relation, you will know that all those things you are seeing in the person’s life, they are signaling, “Get ready!” They are symptoms of death. We call them death signs.
    26. So, when I say symptoms, I am meaning Signals. If you ignore signals, you will fall headlong into that trouble. If you ignore symptoms, you will either be rushed to hospital or you will die in the bed.
    27. So, do not ignore symptoms – signs that something dangerous is either in you already, yet to burst out or something dangerous, something that will get you bedridden for years is likely to occur.
    28. For example, there is no way somebody can develop stroke or paralysis without, first of all, developing severe headache. Severe headache will come, and then divide the head into two lobes. Headache on one side while the other side will be peaceful. Know that it is danger.
    29. Before you know it, your hand will be heavy. Your leg will be heavy and difficult to lift up. you will know that danger is lurking.
    30. If you keep quiet and take it as usual, the next thing will be rush. You cannot get up from the bed again or he collapses.
    31. But if you raise alarm because of the symptoms, immediately, you will be rushed to a place where your blood pressure will be checked to know whether it is high or low.
    32. Then from there, medicine will be administered to bring about normalcy. Then, the person will heave a sigh of relief.
    33. So, death can never occur without symptoms, even if it is accidental death. Pay attention. That is why I said that it should have given the person signs which he or she ignored.
    34. Whether you are driving or you are climbing, accident can occur even in your kitchen. For your stove to catch fire, it would have given you symptoms – signals over and over, and you try to conservatively manage it, but you do not know that you are managing death. One day, explosion will happen.
    35. I have seen where somebody used ordinary wire to tie the pipe supplying gas from the cylinder to the burner. You use wire to tie the pipe and say, “It is ok now. We can manage it.”
    36. When it was manufactured, did the manufacturers write “Manage it” on the body? Did they say, “Manage it”? Did you buy it with that wire? You are risking your life.
    37. So, do not be too conservative that you will ignore something that will bring about instant death, not to you alone but to the people around you and their property.
    38. Explosion does not happen without giving signs. It is not immediately a fuel tanker falls that fire starts. Petrol will be pouring out until there will be a vehicle that will be passing by and the smoke from the exhaust will catch fire or somebody, some useless people who are coming there to carry the fuel will use their handset in their pocket. And the moment it rings, automatically the fire is ignited.
    39. I know many of you do not know that you do not use your handset son top of or near your gas cooker whenever you are cooking. You do not even use it near your vehicle when you are buying fuel.
    40. Watch all filling station, you will see that the warning is there, “SWITCH OFF YOUR HANDSET”. If you go to gas plants, you will see the warning, “SWITCH OFF YOUR HANDSETS”.
    41. Do you know that customers ignore it. Some will even like to be answering calls there to show that they have a very big handset. Foolish people! They do not even consider the damage to the factory and to human beings.
    42. Fire does not come out of nothing. Something must ignite fire. No matter how inflammable that gas might be, the most inflammable gas on earth is hexane which we use in extraction of this palm kernel oil which we refine and you call it vegetable oil. We use hexane to extract it. The most highly inflammable chemical in the whole world.
    43. That is why, wherever a reservoir is, they replenish the sand on a daily basis. Tippers will be coming to dump. For the people serving there, their duty is to use that sand – sharp sand in particular – so that it can receive water readily.
    44. Nobody enters because it is written, “STRICTLY OUT OF BOUNDS”, “NO SMOKING”, “NO NAKED LIGHT”. Nothing that is likely to ignite anything flame is allowed in there.
    45. Even your cylinder, if it develops fault, it is noticeable. When you are cooking and you are perceiving the odour of gas, the odour of gas is very distinct from what is coming from your cooking pot. No matter what you are cooking, gas odour differs from that odour of what you are cooking.
    46. Many will perceive the odour, and they do not know that they are already inside fire. This is because once you perceive the odour of anything gas, you are inside fire. Am I making sense?
    47. The spontaneous spreading of that gas has already placed you inside the fire. If you hear, “Boom!” you are in the fire.
    48. That is why, the moment you perceive that odour, open the whole windows and switch off the source of the gas. Switch off the source which is the cylinder. Then, gradually, the smoke or the odour of the gas will fizzle out. It will vanish through the air.
    49. For that reason, if you are wise and intelligent, you will test your cylinder before use. Fill your cylinder wherever you fill it. Then, use water to test it. Pour water on top of it. If you see the water bubbling, it is letting out gas. The valve is weak. Rubber valve that costs only five naira or fifty naira can wipe off your family.
    50. Let us manage it until the next time we will go and fill the cylinder. You can go out and buy it and insert it. Some will even use garri to patch it.
    51. If you see the type of conservative attitudes people display, you will know that they have already paid for their death in advance and the death of their household.
    52. Look at the young man from Anam who was living at off Ozomagana there. His name is Emma who was a staff of Licensing Authority, and whose family was wiped off including himself because he jumped into fire.
    53. When he heard the children raising alarm, the wife was taking her bath when fire started in the kitchen because of the type of stove they were using.
    54. The most senior of the girls who was about nine years old during their holidays opened the gas valve to the stove but there were no match sticks to light up the stove. She went down to purchase matches from the Hausa man selling it downstairs.
    55. She came back with the matches, not knowing that the gas had spread all over the building and not even the house alone, and including the bathroom where their mother was taking her bath.
    56. They gathered intending to prepare their breakfast. Immediately she struck the match stick, everywhere went aflame – the whole house. They raised alarm, and their mother raised alarm from the bathroom.
    57. Their father was washing his car downstairs. With speed, he rushed. Immediately, he marched his leg on the kitchen door, he did not know that the kitchen door was already open. He fell into the kitchen and fell into fire.

    Although he was rescued with too many bruises, later, he died. The woman died, the three children died. The maid died. The house burnt down. Carelessness.

     

     

     

    ………I have warned. I have pleaded. I have counseled. If you do not know how to get out of it, do not play smartness. Do not be afraid. After all, I am the store house of all your secrets. I have those you told Me. I have those you never told Me. 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 will be useful to you and you will be useful to Me. There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives away all fears……

    SAFETY TIPS [2]

     

     

    1. In this modern day. That is when somebody is using gas stove where you will use matches or lighter. No no no no no! it is the primitive side. Do not ever try it or you use explosive on top of explosive and you call it “Do not waste my time” or whatever you call it.
    2. Because of your conservatism, you are reducing space. You are conserving space, I mean, you go and buy a small cylinder that has the burner on top, you put light on top. I mean, on top of a cylinder containing gas.
    3. The heat alone if you are cooking – the heat from the burner automatically heats up the cylinder, especially these Chinese cylinders that are made of fibre. That one kills students anyhow.
    4. It is like using Optimus® stove we were using that time. It is a type of stove we were using that time which is called Optimus®. You will pump it, and it will use air to burn.
    5. When you finish cooking, you will either use your mouth to blow off the flame when you lower it or you use water. The moment it sucks back, explosion takes place. Everybody will be set aflame.
    6. So it is with kerosene lantern. That is why nobody buys lantern again. We now buy torches.
    7. So, please let us be very careful about what we are doing. I am saying that all these things have symptoms. They have signals. Your stove will give you signal. When you begin to find it difficult to ignite the gas burner.
    8. You do not know that the gas supply is already open and you continue trying to ignite it. By the time you know it, you will see “Boom!”, for each time you are switching on and off, you are letting out gas.
    9. You may not know when your cloth is already in the gas. And you light yourself up.
    10. So, if you are using the locally-made ones which is the industrial ones made by welders, be sure you have a very good lighter. The lighter is long. Do not use matches. Use that lighter meant for it.
    11. The moment you are holding your switch, you are holding the lighter. Place the lighter there, and you will hear sharp sound of fire. That’s all!
    12. Remember you have not finished cooking with gas until you have switched off your cylinder. You are not through with your kitchen until you have switched off the cylinder.
    13. Remember you do not put off the stove before the cylinder. Rather, you put off the cylinder before the stove. If you put off your stove, the gas from the cylinder is already in the pipe. It can never go back to the cylinder. The only outlet is to burn it with the stove.
    14. So, put of the cylinder. Then, whatever that is left in the pipe, the stove will finish it, and then the fire will die. Then, you put it off. Off the cylinder and off the stove. Then, you are secured. So, there is nowhere light can come into your kitchen.
    15. But if any of them is open, your life and the lives of all the occupants of that building are in danger. If there be any outbreak, and that pipe melts away, the cylinder becomes another atomic bomb.
    16. So, please please please, obey all these rules in your best interest. But if you have the means, do not fail to have at least 5Kg of powder fire extinguisher in your house.
    17. Go and bring My own. I did not buy it today. I installed it right from Benjamin down here. When I came here, I stepped up. I bought a bigger one as recommended by the Fire Service.
    18. If you are cooking with gas and you do not have it, you are risking your life and that of the people around you. You must have it. And then be sure you service it according to its expiry date.
    19. Do not go to the refill on the street. Look at My own here. I have taught them. Anybody who comes here, and you are cooking for Me, I must teach him this.
    20. It is just inside the store, very close to the kitchen. Normally, it should be in the kitchen, but I cannot hang it on the wall because it has a big weight.
    21. Give it to Sister Chibuko. From the way she is looking at Me, it is like she has never seen something like this in any kitchen. Have you seen the weight. Give it to your daughter. Give it to Sister Faith who is a regular.
    22. Now, you see this cylinder. Do you know that it is only used once? You cannot use it two times. The moment you pull out the pin, and press it, the powder will go off and that is all. It is not used twice. You return it to Fire Service. They will refill it for you, and you will pay them.
    23. It is not like that spray. That one you normally use in your vehicle. No! this one is powder. Once you let it out, it is all out in one minute, and the fire goes off.
    24. There is one that is like rug. That one is very expensive. If you can afford it, you buy it. Anywhere you see fire in the kitchen or outside, use that rug and then cover it. The fire will go off.
    25. But the moment you cover it, you control the source. If the source is not controlled, fire is still on. So, control the source, then control the fire. Did you get the Message?
    26. Then, if it is beyond your control, use water to cut off your room. In all your rooms, fill everywhere with water. Leave that place where it is burning. Fill every room around with water. Begin to pour water everywhere both on the staircase and everywhere so that it can never cross. Then you control inside.
    27. You must know all the safety precautions. It is said that to be forewarned is to be forearmed. What if you have it, but you do not know how to use it? Is the person who does not have it not better than you are?
    28. That was what was used to save the life of that woman at the filling station. They rushed in with the fire extinguisher immediately.
    29. Did I not tell you about how I used it to rescue a Volvo vehicle along the highway as I was going to Enugu? I saved the lives of the man, his wife and children and they remained alive.
    30. They were just spraying the extinguisher they had but to no avail. I then lifted My own and rushed down there, pull off the pin and channeled it on the fire and the fire was extinguished instantly.
    31. The man ran to Me and asked Me how much He will pay me for My fire extinguisher, but I turned down his request instantly, “No no no! I do not need your money. When I get to Enugu, I will refill it and keep it in My vehicle.”
    32. When you cook in the kitchen and enjoy the food thereof, know it also that death comes from the kitchen which is not poison.
    33. We have what is called domestic accident. Are you hearing what I am saying? Another foolish pride you have is that you cannot train your maidservants and you cannot train the people that visit you in your house to know that anything that is being cooked on a gas stove requires continuous heating.
    34. If you do not put off the gas supply, by the time the contents of the pot is burnt, the pot itself will burn. The heat from that pot can cut off the pipe that supplies gas from the cylinder.
    35. This is because the pipe is just under the burner. That fire that is emanating from your stove, heating up the pot and burnt content, it also cuts the pipe.
    36. Look at the young man who has workers in the factory where they make snacks at Woliwo. He would have gone to jail because of that incidence.
    37. He installed an oven for them to use and that oven had a fault. The oven incidentally caught fire. And before it caught fire, it had given the operator signs for more than one year, but he kept using it that way.
    38. On that faithful night, he was only alerted at night that the whole warehouse where he was doing his business with another man under a storey building has been razed down by fire.
    39. God so kind, the security men there broke into the place, used something to drag out the oven and then disconnected the pipes.
    40. So it is with these ovens that use electric. Those ones are even worse because you might be using it and the power supply goes off, and you forget to switch it off from the mains.
    41. The power may be restored and it may be the supply from the neutral wire. And that is the high voltage that damages many things. Just know it that all of you there are already ash.
    42. That is why people prefer to use the gas-powered oven so that they can have control over the oven instead of the electrically powered oven. I even wonder whether that one is still sold in the market.
    43. Is it not the Message DANGER SIGNAL that brought us to this matter? For anyone who, after seeing danger signals – symptoms, and goes ahead with what he or she is doing instead of taking the warnings seriously, there is an Igbo adage that says that a prey that is captured by a noisy predator was killed by deafness. Are you hearing what I am saying?
    44. There are families that installed alarm in their houses. Fire alarm can be installed in a house. It is done. Immediately there is an outbreak of fire in the house, you will hear the alarm blaring instantly. At that moment, you will know that your house is on fire. The only problem with fire alarm is that it gives false information.
    45. It works like a vehicle whose security alarm is connected to the horn. When a leaf from a tree falls on the vehicle the alarm will go off. When a bird perches on it, the alarm will also go off. If an object is blown by the wind and it falls on the vehicle, the alarm will go off. You will be rushing out every now and then just to terminate the blaring horn.
    46. If there is a spark at the socket where you are charging your phone, the fire alarm will start blaring. Any spark in any of your supply lines will trigger the alarm because it recognizes all such sparks as fire outbreak. That is why people do not like to install this fire alarms. It is mainly found in the factories now. Only factories install it. Domestically, it disturbs tenants.
    47. Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu: Proverbs 27. We are talking about danger signals, danger alarms because there are certain things we do in this life that are filled with dangers that are not avoidable.
    48. Hence, all these safety tips are coming. These are safety tips whether kitchen, parlour, residential, industrial, road and others.
    49. That is why the National Orientation Agency, the organ that is in charge of informing the general public about what is necessary regularly educate the people on what they should embark on or disembark from.
    50. They have always been warning concerning this issue of gas. If you have a gas cylinder in your house and you are cooking, the stipulation is that you should make no mistake of answering call while cooking with gas, whether in your kitchen or anywhere the gas cylinder is located because it will blow up.
    51. They have shown us too many videos of the victims of such incidents.
    52. And God told us that you must have to be alive first before we talk about the danger signal of the spirit. The spiritual danger signals. Things that will cost someone his or her eternal life.
    53. Let us look at Proverbs chapter 27 verse 12. Living Bible.12A sensible man watches for problems ahead and prepares to meet them. The simpleton never looks and suffers the consequences.
    54. The Message Bible.12A prudent person sees trouble coming and ducks; a simpleton walks in blindly and is clobbered.
    55. God is teaching us how to see dangers and troubles ahead of time, and then, to avert them so that we will not fall headlong into it.
    56. Then, the last part is what you will do when you eventually find yourself in that trouble – in that situation. This is so that the person will not be defeated.
    57. Remember we recently went through the Message which said that we should pay heed to every reminder. The essence of reminding us of the Messages is to ensure that we are in line.
    58. If after giving us these Messages, bringing them out in book form and storing them so that we do not perish, but we still have them and we do not go through them– we do not internalize them, it is as good as not receiving the Message at all.

     

     

     

     

    28But if I am casting out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. 29One cannot rob Satan’s kingdom without first binding Satan. Only then can his demons be cast out! 30Anyone who isn’t helping me is harming Me. 31-32“Even blasphemy against Me or any other sin can be forgiven—all except one: speaking against the Holy Spirit shall never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.33“A tree is identified by its fruit. A tree from a select variety produces good fruit; poor varieties don’t.

    Matthew 12:28-33, The Living Bible

     

     

    Why am I in your midst? Am I not in your midst as a sign of the covenant, affirming the promise that was made unto your fathers? Ancient men! Ministers! Rise up!……  Who is going to harvest the earth? It is the Son of Man. Some people do not know that God does not judge anyone but has committed judgment into the hands of His dear Son, for He is the Son of Man. Is it not Scripture?

    THE COVENANT GOD (1)

     

     

    1. Danger Signal Explained [Morning Altar Message] Preached on Saturday 25th July 2020 at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN.
    2. Page 20 from verse 4. 4.7He is the Lord our God. His goodness is seen everywhere throughout the land.5Though a thousand generations pass He never forgets His promise, His covenant with Abraham and Isaac 10-11and confirmed with Jacob. THIS IS HIS NEVER-ENDING TREATY WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL: What?
    3. THIS IS HIS NEVER-ENDING TREATY WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL:…
    4. 14BUT THROUGH IT ALL HE WOULD NOT LET ONE THING BE DONE TO THEM APART FROM HIS DECISION.”
    5. 7HE WILL NEVER ALLOW SOMETHING TO BE DONE TO THEM EXCEPT HIS DECISION. THIS MEANS THAT WHATEVER GOD HAS NOT APPROVED CAN NEVER COME TO A CHILD OF GOD.
    6. Are you not a son of God? If you are not, why are all these ancient signs in your midst? Why are you having the Ancient of Days in your midst? Why are you having the God of Covenant live? He said, “I am sending you for a covenant of My people.”
    7. Get Me Isaiah 42. Get it very well in King James version and the Complete Jewish Bible. There are some other Scriptures but let us read that one.
    8. Isaiah 42: 1-7, King James version. 1Behold My Servant, Whom I uphold; Mine Elect, in Whom My soul delighteth; I have put My Spirit upon Him:…
    9. Wait a little. It is not about making noise. Lift up your eyes and behold the Elect One. When you read, you corroborate. It will take you to the Messages you are holding concerning the Elect. There is only One Elect.
    10. Enoch was told to lift up his eyes, “Lift up your eyes and then, behold the Elect One.” Standing there on the right-hand side of the Majesty was the Elect One, My Servant. I delight in Him. Him I have chosen.”
    11. Reference: [1]The Ethiopic Book of Enoch Chapter 39 verse 5 through 7. 5Here my eyes saw the dwelling places of His righteous angels, and the resting-places of the Holy Ones. And they petitioned and interceded and prayed for the children of men, and righteousness flowed before them like water, and mercy fell like dew on the earth: Thus it is among them for ever and ever.
    12. 6And in that place my eyes saw the Elect One of righteousness and of faith,7And I saw his dwelling-place under the wings of the Lord of spirits.
    13. [2] The Ethiopic Book of Enoch Chapter 62 verse 1. 1Thus the Lord commanded the kings and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell on the earth, and said: ‘Open your eyes and lift up your horns if you are able to recognize the Elect One.’
    14. Isaiah 42: 1-7, King James version. 1Behold My Servant, Whom I uphold; Mine Elect, in Whom My soul delighteth; I have put My Spirit upon Him: … Have you seen it?
    15. He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. … Future! Future continuous. Future continuous tense. He shall.
    16. The man whom God used to prophesy wanted to know who would be the beneficiaries, but God said, “It is not for you. You will die and be buried, but in the end, I will raise you from the dust. This promise I am making is for the future generation.”
    17. You think that God does not know what He is doing? Have you ever lifted up your head one day to behold the Elect One. Instead, everybody is claiming to be an Elect. Who made you an Elect? Elect according to God’s fore-knowledge. Who made you that? Whose Elect are you?
    18. …He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His Voice to be heard in the street. 2A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall He not quench: He shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
    19. 4He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He have set judgment in the earth and the isles shall wait for His law.
    20. 5Thus saith God the Lord, He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
    21. 6I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a Covenant of the people,… Oh! God will.…for a light of the Gentiles; … Have you heard it?
    22. Only then shall every human being today pin their hope. He is the continuation and the consummation. He is your Saviour. That is why He declared, “Come to Me all the ends of the earth and be ye saved, for I am your Saviour. Aside Me, there is no other.”
    23. If there is any other person you have in mind who will save you, go after that person. Go after the person. If you enquire, you will find the person.
    24. Too many people have themselves tied to too many saviours they made for themselves. You can make for yourself a saviour like your fathers did.
    25. 7to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. Amen!
    26. Isaiah 41: 1-8, Complete Jewish Bible. 1“Here is My Servant, Whom I support,My Chosen One,… Did He say, “My Servants”? Did He say, “My Chosen Ones”?
    27. 1“Here is My Servant, Whom I support, My Chosen One,in Whom I take pleasure. I have put My Spirit on Him; He will bring justice to the Goyim.
    28. 2He will not cry or shout; no one will hear His voice in the streets.3He will not snap off a broken reedor snuff out a smoldering wick. He will bring forth justice according to truth;
    29. Do you know the number of people that are clamouring and asking us why we are hiding? They say that anybody who is doing such a wonderful thing should come out publicly and conduct a crusade.
    30. When I went to Enugu Ezike, a rich man pleaded that I should come to Ogbaru, that he will pay for hotel bills for four days and that he will sponsor it all by himself. Did it not happen before your eyes?
    31. In all our missionary outings and with the people we met and opened their eyes of understanding, what they usually ask is, “Why is it that you people do not conduct crusade? You do not have a church where you worship. The people that want to meet with you do not know where to trace you. You do not have a signboard. Why are you hiding. Are you involved in any form of evil.”
    32. But there is no way you can explain to them for them to understand.
    33. God obeys Himself. The Scripture was written before I was born here as a human being. This prophecy existed.
    34. The Prophecy read by the LORD Jesus in Isaiah 61 was there before His mother conceived Him. When He was given the Scroll he read it as, “This portion was written concerning Me”, and he returned the book to them.
    35. Are you hearing what I am saying? Look at the prophecy written concerning Me. I came to fulfill it. It was there, and I knew it not as a human being until My hour for it came.
    36. How then do you think that you will see Me on the street where I am conducting a crusade? I should have done it long ago in the name of looking for converts or followers. Is that not the essence of crusade? It is for canvassing for members or disciples.
    37. I do not need your membership. I told you everything. I do not need anybody’s membership. I do not need your followership. You cannot hear My Voice on the street. Yet, I am holding the power that is shaking the whole world.
    38. REFERENCE:LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS VOL. 1; Preached on 30th April 2000 at the Household Onitsha; Pg. 12 vs. 13.Some people, you know, due to “lack of revelation” think they are in “Peter Odoemena’s Church.” Some even think that if they leave the Church, I am losing something. But let Me tell you: If you leave Bridal Faith today, I am losing nothing. If you come into this Church – Bridal Faith – I am gaining nothing. You are a burden to Me, because I know I can do without you, but you cannot do without Me. I do not need you but you need Me. As far as I live, I AM THE TRUE VINE AND YOU ARE MY BRANCHES. You can only bear fruit and your fruit will remain if you abide in Me.
    39. MY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ME (Opi Series); Preached in 2001; Pg. 149 vs. 5. Believe it if you can, I am not soliciting for your favour. No. I gain nothing if you are saved. I lose nothing if you perish. Are you feeding Me? Is it not in your prophecy? I can do without you, but you cannot do without me, for without Me, you can do nothing. …
    40. Time will reveal Who I am.You do not yet know what you have. You will still know Me with time, but do not pray that you will know Me in My wrath.
    41. Do not pray that you will know Me in My wrath. Pray hard that your knowing Me will not be in My hot displeasure and wrath against the world where no flesh shall be saved. That is the time you will know Who I am fully. That time, you will be saying that He told us ahead of time. 2:39:16
    42. 4He will not weaken or be crusheduntil He has established justice on the earth, and the coastlands wait for His Torah.”
    43. 5Thus says God, Adonai, Who created the heavens and spread them out, Who stretched out the earth and all that grows from it, Who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those Who walk on it:
    44. 6I, Adonai, called you righteously, I took hold of you by the hand, I shaped you and made you a covenant for the people,… Made you? a covenant for the people,… Did you understand what He is saying there? Finish!
    45. So, you cannot know anything called covenant with God. Your covenant is with the Elect, the Chosen One, the Son of His pleasure. That is the Person He gave to you.
    46. That is the Man on His right-hand side whom He made strong for His own sake that He will help you to know Who God is and to worship Him rightly and be in right standing with God. Without Him, you are perishing.
    47. I was telling My children the other day, “Maybe you do not pause once in a while to meditate. Whatever theological institution people are attending, they are aimed at one thing which is the indoctrination of their people against the truth.
    48. They are all aimed at indoctrinating them against the truth, for theological institutes are established to further the doctrines of the churches that established them. Is it not true?
    49. Do you go to the Roman Catholic seminary to learn how to worship God? What you are going there to learn is the tradition of mass. Anglican, the same thing. Anyone you go to, the indoctrination there is all about their own church traditions. Pentecostals, the same thing.
    50. Odoziobodo will not teach you the doctrines of Roman Catholic. They all have their schools. Do you understand what we are saying? What about their members? Were the students of the Bible colleges not drawn from their members?
    51. The reason for producing their ministers from those colleges is to make sure that nobody repents again. They are task forces. When you run away from one, you run into the other in that vicious cycle.
    52. The aim is to indoctrinate the whole world against the truth. If you know that place where their teachings will not be against the Word of God, mention the name of that place. If you know that place, mention the name.
    53. That is why we do not use any oratory here. We do not display anything here to attract you. We are only mindful of the truth, for you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
    54. Prisoners that are to be set free are not the prisoners in the prison yard. They are not literal prisoners but those who are in the prison yard of the devil. Those whom the devil has tied down, imposing a heavy load on them.
    55. Every human being is in a prison in the hand of the devil. The entire world lieth in wickedness. You are imprisoned in the world of darkness. You are living in the dark because as long as you do not now the truth, you are living in darkness. Is it a lie Brethren?
    56. The Light has come for you to come out of darkness and embrace the Light. He has come to liberate you from religious prison yard to Reality. To Reality! Do you not know that a sinner is in prison? An unbeliever is in prison.
    57. …I shaped you and made you a covenant for the people, to be a Light for the Goyim, 7so that you can open blind eyes, free the prisoners from confinement, those living in darkness from the dungeon.
    58. 8I am Adonai; that is my name. I yield my glory to no one else, nor my praise to any idol.

     

     

     

     

     

    ……Ask them what the grace of God is, they do not know. The grace of God is the Covenant. Tell Me, are they in the Covenant? If you are not in the Covenant, forget about it. I am in your midst as a Sign of The (your) Covenant.

    THE COVENANT GOD (2)

     

     

    1. Isaiah 42: 1-8, TLB. 1See My Servant, whom I uphold; My Chosen One in Whom I delight. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will reveal justice to the nations of the world.
    2. 2He will be gentle—He will not shout nor quarrel in the streets. 3He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the dimly burning flame. He will encourage the fainthearted, those tempted to despair. He will see full justice given to all who have been wronged.
    3. 4He won’t be satisfied until truth and righteousness prevail throughout the earth, nor until even distant lands beyond the seas have put their trust in him.
    4. 5The Lord God who created the heavens and stretched them out, who created the earth and everything in it, who gives life and breath and spirit to everyone in all the world, He is the One Who says to his Servant, the Messiah:
    5. 6“I the Lord have called you to demonstrate My righteousness. I will guard and support you, for I have given you to My people as the personal confirmation of My covenant with them.As what?
    6. as the personal confirmation of My covenant with them.As what?as the personal confirmation of My covenant with them.
    7. Did He call it congregational confirmation? Did He call it collective confirmation or community confirmation? Personal!
    8. That is why nobody is forced. We will only persuade you because we have seen the wrath of God that is coming upon the children of disobedience.
    9. Seeing the wrath of God hastily coming, we persuade all men to repent and believe the truth so that they will not be destroyed with the wicked. That is exactly what we are doing. We do not force you.
    10. If you have no covenant with God, God has no covenant with you. The covenant keeper keeps His covenant with His people. How can you claim a covenant you are not a part of? Is it possible?
    11. Does an Idol protect someone who does not believe in it? Do you offer sacrifices to the idol? Whatever the idol is saying is the business of those who worship the idol. Is it your business?
    12. There are people who are covenanted to an idol. Whatever the idol stipulates, this adherent or worshipper will fulfill them because he or she is in a covenant.
    13. If you are in a covenant with God, check to know whether there is truth in that covenant. Check to see whether there is truth in that covenant or is it a covenant of a hypocrite.
    14. God is not interested in the covenant with a hypocrite. Such a person who is making such a claim to covenant shows that he does not mean what he is saying, for he has killed himself by constituting a stumbling block on his own path.
    15. There is no time you will come to tell God that you did what you did in ignorance or that you did not do it. “I did not mean it. I just said it for saying sake.” He does not have time to listen to you because, from the beginning, He knows that you do not have any covenant with Him.
    16. If you see one who has a covenant with God, he has things he abhors and avoids. Is it a lie Brethren? Listen to Me, there is no idol that does not have its no-go-areas. Is it then God that does not have the things he abhors?
    17. Your covenant has things it abhors. You can never enter into covenant with God and behave as you wish. It is impossible. You cannot behave the way you want, for you must behave yourself in keeping with the words of the covenant binding you and God. That is what God recognizes. Nothing else.
    18. 6… I will guard and support you, for I HAVE GIVEN YOU TO MY PEOPLE as the personal confirmation of My covenant with them. You shall also be a light to guide the nations unto Me.
    19. Unto Me! Has He not fulfilled it? Through the everlasting Gospel, He has guided the whole nations to God. That is why He is the Perfect Guide, Instructor, Teacher and so on.
    20. ALL HE IS DOING IS WHAT THE FATHER TOLD HIM TO DO. SO, FINDING FAULT WITH WHAT HE IS DOING IS FINDING FAULT WITH THE FATHER. YOU CANNOT FIND FAULT WITH GOD AND THEN GET SAVED. YOU CANNOT BE DISOBEDIENT TO YOUR SAVIOUR AND THEN TELL HIM TO LEAD YOU ALONG. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN.
    21. AT ANY POINT YOU DISCONNECT, THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL STOP. YOU WILL BE HAVING PROBLEMS UPON PROBLEMS WITH YOURSELF AND NOT WITH GOD.
    22. Check all problems you are having. They emanated from you, and they are ending in you. Some of them are generated, and not that they came from outside. You generate problems by yourself. Generating means that you create problems for yourself.
    23. If it is not coming from your heart, it is coming from your head. It is from what you heard with your ears and where your legs led you to and you will use it to create problems for yourself.
    24. Then, you will be scattered. Nothing will be clear to you again because confusion has set in. And the devil is the author of confusion. Nobody is deceived until he is confused.
    25. The moment the devil wants to seduce your heart away from the truth, he will confuse you. It can be by asking you a silly question to put you off. There is a question the devil will ask you and you begin to doubt whether you are a child of God.
    26. He will ask you, “Are you sure you are a child of God?” You will then answer yes. The devil will further ask you, “How did you know that you are a child of God. Are you sure that He will save you? Why did He tell you not to do this and that, while He does them Himself? Do you not understand something there. He that is tricked is as good as defeated.”
    27. You do not know that God is the one who specializes in testing the faith of His people and also tests their hearts to know whether there is any that can strive with Him. Do you strive with God?
    28. God can instruct you by saying, “Do not ever make any wooden something, and do not bow down to it.” Before your eyes, He [God] will mold one and place it in His house. He will mount it right inside His house.
    29. Now, go and mold the same thing to keep in your own house or just mold the object first. Before you finish molding it, you will hear a Voice that will speak to you. He did it just to test your loyalty.
    30. Is there any other thing that made the devil to be what he is? You are not striving or competing with God. There is a reason behind everything God does. God does not do anything for doing sake.
    31. Behind everything God does, there is a divine motive attached to it. And He is God that cannot give you reason for What he is doing.
    32. This is why people stumble. They want God to be giving daily account to them. Who are you that God should be giving account to you? Can God be accountable to any man? But human beings are demanding accountability from God.
    33. Check everything. Human beings that do not have the spirit of Christ, they are experts in turning things upside down, giving undue interpretation to every God’s Word and to every God’s action.
    34. Yesterday, we were talking about presumptuous sin. Have you escaped it? Do you think it is easy to escape from it? My answer is yes. What is the remedy? Holistic surrender to God and to God alone. You should run away from anything that can destroy you.
    35. Hear Me very well. God loves all of us. He is willing to save all of us, but all of us are not willing to be saved. We are not willing. this is where our problem lies.
    36. If you are willing, and you are desiring it, your attitude towards the Message will convince you that you are in right standing with God. that’s all.
    37. It is not a situation where you will be reminded of every of your responsibilities. Even when you are reminded, you will still do it the way you like.
    38. You have your reason for disobedience, but you do not have reason for obedience. Whatever reason you want to bring out to support your disobedience will turn out to be against you. Is God interested? I do not know if you understand what I am explaining.
    39. Does the person who has limited stock of merchandise go on advertisement? Your stock is not enough and you are embarking on advert. If somebody pays, what will I supply the person?
    40. I have a space for few people in the world to come because I will fill the whole earth again with righteous people. And you are being drawn from the midst of corrupt people. You are being saved from a corrupt world because God is not going to create a new man.
    41. It behooves you who are being saved to vow a vow to replenish the empty world. The world must be replenished because you are going to live endless life there.
    42. If you do not understand, do you know why it must be few? There is no way God will save the whole world and use the whole world to replenish the world. It is never done.
    43. In the days of Noah, was it not just few people? Through them, He replenished the world, but there was a mistake that was made. He instructed that both bad ones and good ones should be included.
    44. REFERENCE: [1] THE WRITINGS OF ABRAHAM [From the papyri found in Egypt 1831 and translated by John Bryant] Part 3, Chapter 15 verse 1. 1THUS did Noah take to wife Naamah, the daughter of Zillah, the wife of Lamech of the seed of Cain, and she bare him a son whom he named Ham, and thus was the curse preserved in the land through the great flood.
    45. [1] Genesis 7:7-9, AMP.7And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. 8Of [a]clean animals and of animals that are not clean, and of birds and fowls, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9There went in two and two with Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
    46. Do you not know that not all children of Noah were useful? Were they not the ones that joined together and went ahead to build the tower of Babel with wrong motive? And God destroyed all.
    47. Were they not the ones that spread all over the whole earth? Was that not the origin of evil on earth again? This is because they knew it and they tasted it. That is why I do not want to make a mistake.

     

     

    We are in covenant with God. The only way we can remain in covenant is by obeying Him. I hope I am not wearing you down. Even if I weary you down, I owe you no apology because I know, when this life is over, somebody will embrace Me and say, “Now I know you really love Me.”

    THE COVENANT GOD (3)

     

     

    1. All that will be privileged to be there, I must format their brains. I say I must. I must. That is the only way God can replenish without creating a new order. He will continue with the same human beings. He will continue with the same angels. No labour to create man again. It is finished.
    2. The new man is new in the sense that He resurrected from the dead, while the other one is given immortal and incorruptible body. They are fused together. They form a Kingdom together with the Almighty who is immortal and sinless.
    3. Then, He will format the brains of all. No dreams, no visions, nothing nothing, no prophecy. Then they will now begin to reproduce, and then replenish the earth with holy people– righteous people.
    4. Knowledge of sin is gone. I say, knowledge of sin is gone. Where there is knowledge of sin, people must continue to sin. Where there is knowledge of sin, people will continue to sin. Do you not know what we are saying?
    5. A situation where you do not know what sin is all about, neither do you know what righteousness is all about, you just live your life freely. There is no special law for you.
    6. And whether you know it or not, nobody will have any impression or record of remembrance of anything concerning his fellow human being. You cannot remember anything about me. I cannot remember anything concerning you.
    7. The remembrance of the father at the sight of his son, is it there? Nobody is coming to ask you who your father is or where you came from. You are all wearing white and drawn from the four corners of the earth, dressed whiter than snow. You are now new new things.
    8. It is no longer a time when you will say, “I remember when I was a young girl.” You will remember nothing, for the former things are completely gone.
    9. Then, what happens in replenishing? You replenish the earth ignorantly. You cannot lay claim on any child as your own. You will not have a child you are training as your own. All you know is to continue reproducing and your offspring will also be reproducing alongside with you on and on.
    10. Is there any goat that reproduces and lays a possessive claim to that offspring? Does any sheep have its own? Does the fish in the river recognize its offspring?
    11. Maybe you do not know that was your nature before sin came. You are to supervise them with incorruptible body until iniquity was found in you, and then you had the knowledge of good and bad.
    12. Think of what they were doing when Adam never knew and Eve never knew what constitutes evil and evil reports, and what constitutes good and good report. That was their condition before Satan came.
    13. Until they were tempted to eat that fruit, the knowledge of good and bad was completely beyond their reach. Then immediately they got that knowledge, God said, “See! These people are now like us”, referring to the angels. By the angels, I mean the chiefest of them was THE SON OF MAN.
    14. “Look at these people o. They are now like us. They have known what is good and what is bad. Adam told Me that He is naked. The wife Eve said that she is naked. They ate the forbidden fruit, and their eyes opened. They have started managing themselves in their own way. What do we do? If we allow them to continue, they will go to the tree of life and pluck of it. When they eat it, they will live forever. So, let Me drive them away and place a flaming sword around that tree of life.
    15. Then Adam and Eve foolishly left the Garden, crying and weeping as they were pushed them to outer darkness. They were sacked from where there was no night and there was no day. They now went into outer darkness.
    16. So, that darkness that covered them, eventually covered Christ [in the grave] because there was no way sin can be remitted without shedding of blood. Where there is no shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin.
    17. Reference: THE FIRST BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE by Rutherford Platt Chapter 14 [The Earliest Prophesy of the Coming of Christ] verse 1 through 4.
    18. 1Then Adam said to God: “O Lord, take You my soul, and let me not see this gloom anymore; or remove me to some place where there is no darkness.”
    19. 2But God the Lord said to Adam, “Indeed I say to you, this darkness will pass from you, every day I have determined for you, until the fulfillment of My covenant; when I will save you and bring you back again into the garden, into the house of light you long for, in which there is no darkness*. I will bring you to it — in the kingdom of heaven.”
    20. 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.
    21. 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.
    22. Do not allow Me to go back to where you had already crossed.
    23. Bear this in mind. If you come into a community that does not know what is good and what is evil, will there be an unrighteous person there?
    24. Anybody who comes into that community to start pointing that which is good or bad, he or she is the very devil. He has come again to indoctrinate them.
    25. That is why he is going to be thrown into the abyss where he will never come out again. And he world will know no more war. Nothing nothing! Nothing nothing!
    26. All that shall be partakers of this arrangement, they are going to be the best of all human beings. The best of all human beings. There is nobody who will be there with the remembrance of his or her parents again or how you ended up there. I must format your brains this is because you have lived for too long in this evil world. How can I allow you to continue with it? All I am suffering today, is it not because you have stayed for too long in unbelief? Is there any other thing?
    27. If I make a statement, you will give it one million interpretations that do not agree with what you have in mind. Before we know it, you begin to form groups and gangs, “Man, see the one we are hearing now.” It will become a topic for discussion.
    28. At the end of the day, everybody will develop cold feet. Nobody will have the zeal to serve God again. Do you not know that weakness is in your midst? Because iniquity is abounding in your midst, the love of many is waxing cold. And anybody whose love for Christ waxes cold because of iniquity found among you never belonged to God.
    29. If you belong to God, and there is no iniquity in you, there is no way iniquity found in another person can make your love for God or Christ wax cold. What will make your love to wax cold is iniquity that is found in Christ. Did you get the Message?
    30. If Christ revealed in your day is found in iniquity, following Him becomes very difficult. You have every right to be dragging your feet. But is He found in iniquity? If He is found in iniquity, who proclaimed Him iniquitous? If He is found in sin, who declared Him a sinner. What is the name of that sin He committed?
    31. This is a man that is born to righteousness. His own righteousness is not the one you can just get by obeying rules and regulations. He was born into it. And it is eternal. He is wearing the righteousness of the Ancient of Days which cannot depart from Him till eternity.
    32. And you that wants to be righteous, you will attain it through Him, for He is the One that will input righteousness upon you, not on the basis of what you have done or what you have not done, but on the basis of His own choice of who you are.
    33. He has looked at you in and out and you are not rebellious. You are worthy of that Kingdom of Heaven. He will give it to you without any charge.
    34. It is not because of your obedience or that you taught people this and that. If there is anything you did for which cause He grafted you in, you do not know. Only Him alone knows. You do not know what that thing is.
    35. No matter how you read your Bible and do everything, only one thing is what it takes to declare you righteous. Only one singular action. Only one!
    36. All other things are proofs that you are a child of God. All other things are the manifestations of the fruits of righteousness. But you must, first of all, be declared righteous before you start bearing the fruit of righteousness. If you are not righteous, can you bear the fruit of righteousness. First, be righteous! Finish!
    37. Then, there is One who puts human beings in right standing with Himself, and who declares them righteous. Have you not seen it in the Scriptures in Romans 8?
    38. Whoever He calls, him He justifies, declares him righteous and puts him in right standing with himself.
    39. Remember, today is the first day of the week. We are not here for any theological school. We are here to put ourselves in remembrance. We are rounding off our programme.
    40. We do not need extensive teaching. Neither do we decree extensive reading during revision for examination. The final examination is around the corner. Does it require a teacher coming to the class to hold you for four hours? No!
    41. Let Me tell you. During preparations for examinations, teachers are withdrawn from lectures so that students will have time to do their revisions and tidy up their work.
    42. Why the teacher is there is just to make sure he finishes a little that he never finished. He will appeal to the students, “Please I am here for just a few things from where questions may be drawn for the examination. There are three things we have not yet treated. I want to handle it for you now.”
    43. The teacher will use one day, tidy it up and go his way. Whoever that fails will take the blame.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    He decided to make us holy in His own eyes without a single fault. In other words, He that will justify you is with you. Once He has justified you, you are justified. That is why He puts it this way: “If the Son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed.” I remembered the prophecy we heard those days, that the Justifier of the Gentiles is on the scene, and the Destroyer of the Gentiles is on the scene also. It is a prophecy. He that will justify the Gentiles is here.

     

    THE SON OF MAN

    GOD HAS COUNTED ME WORTHY, PUTTING ME INTO THIS MINISTRY; Preached on Sunday 13th August, 2000 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 71 vs. 7 – 8

     

    11

    JUSTIFICATION IS BY FAITH ALONE (1)

     

     

    1. Romans 8:28-30, AMP. 28We are assured… Do you know the meaning of assurance? Forget about the fact that we are talking about it. Narrow it down to your covenant as an individual. Narrow it down to your person.
    2. If you are assured, who assured you. I cannot say we are assured without knowing the person who assured Me. Is it a lie Brethren? If you do not know the person who assured you, then you are wasting your time.
    3. Who made this type of promise to you? Who made you to have such a conviction that your Faith in Him will not fail you?
    4. 28We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labour] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
    5. They are called according to His design and purpose.
    6. 29For those whom He foreknew. Those He knew about from the very beginning. Those God Knew about from the very official beginning. Good! Does He know you for evil? There is something God knows you for.
    7. There is a Message we heard yesterday that you will have problems. There is a Message we had finished considering where the LORD showed you the good qualities of Pastor Thomas’ wife. Did you not hear it yesterday? Have you heard that type of thing before? I thank God that her husband was a part of the people whose names were mentioned.
    8. The Message said that if she maintains her husband’s position, nobody will step into their house in the next world.
    9. Some of your men are abominable, yet blaming it on their women. There are too many men that are not hospitable. He will put the blame on the wife, saying that she does not want visitors in their home.
    10. He will be discrediting the wife outside, but he is the very person perpetrating this evil. Even if the wife tries to let him know the truth, he will only reply, “I know about it. Later, I will figure out how we will go about it.” This is how he will keep on procrastinating until the world will come to an end.
    11. So, he will be parading himself up and down, and you will think that the person you are moving with knows the truth.
    12. It will take the son of man to tell you those who are in the faith of Christ and those who are not. Are you hearing what I am saying? GOOD! HAVE IT AT THE BACK OF YOUR MIND.
    13. When offering was going on in the days of Jesus, did He station Himself around the offering bag? He was seated somewhere else on his own and at the end of the day, He told them that there was only one person among them who gave offering.
    14. He announced what the person offered. When He mentioned what the person gave the very woman raised her hand, and she turned out to be a widow.
    15. A widow that offered only one penny was considered far greater than the people who put in thousands of silver into the offering bag. So, this widow was the only person that gave her offering, for she, first of all, gave her life. She gave all she had.
    16. 29For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand],… What? …[of whom He was aware and loved beforehand],He also destined from the beginning…
    17. He also did what?…He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness],Share what?…inwardly…
    18. Did He say outwardly. Both men and women. Is it not one spirit. One spirit. The woman was not given a different spirit and that of the man different, for it is that Spirit that makes you a child of God. What you have is what I have. That is why, if your character is different from My own, strive to find out the source of your problem.
    19. The son of man was made manifest as an example for you to compare your character with His character and to know whether they are the same.
    20. He was also made manifest also for you to know whether His ways are your ways and His thoughts, your thoughts. It is true that we are different in the flesh, but are you led by the same Spirit that is in Him leading Him?
    21. …He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness],that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.
    22. 30And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted,… Note! ACQUITTED! ACQUITTAL! Do you know the meaning of “Acquitted”? It is not the same thing as “Discharged”.
    23. Kanu was discharged but was not acquitted. He is still in the prison. There was a time when Sowore was discharged but was not acquitted. What about the leader of the shiite Muslims [Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky] and his wife. There was a time he was discharged but not acquitted.
    24. Nelson Mandela and his wife were discharged, but they were not acquitted. Until after 35 years, then, they received acquittal. Only then did the government of South Africa release him. Do you understand what I am saying? You can be discharged, but not acquitted.
    25. The LORD God Almighty discharged the whole of Israel that erred in the wilderness – 20 years and above. Moses pleaded on their behalf.
    26. The LORD discharged them and said, “As for pardon, I have pardoned them. Let us get along, but as surely as I live saith the LORD Almighty, all of them that are guilty of this evil, I will destroy all of them as we journey along. Not even one will enter My rest – Canaan – their temporary rest.”
    27. Take note of what God does. For pardon, He pardoned. That is discharge. What was the reason for discharging them?
    28. If He killed them before their enemies or in the presence of their enemies, they will say that He brought them out of Egypt, but He has no power to lead them through again.
    29. To avoid His Name being blasphemed among the heathens, he pardoned them as Moses pleaded, and allowed them to continue, but vowed He will kill them.
    30. Did He kill them? He just postponed the evil day. Postponement of the evil day, does it mean cancelling the evil day? I do not know whether you are understanding what we are teaching. Postponement does not mean cancellation.
    31. Your case can be postponed in any court and adjourned, maybe till next year. Does it mean that it would not hold again? You still have a case, and it must hold.
    32. But this time around, with God, as many as He called, He justified and declared all of them discharged and acquitted without any single fault.
    33. 30And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous,…
    34. He acquitted them, for He had already justified them by their faith. Are you not here by faith?
    35. He called them and they responded to His call. For responding by faith in Christ they were justified. Their faith acquitted them.
    36. Do you not know that justification is by Faith? They are now acquitted. They are now declared righteous. Was there any good works attributable to them?
    37. …and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous,… He made them righteous. Did they make themselves righteous? Was it their act of righteousness that they performed? God Himself made them righteous.
    38. So, you cannot be anything outside what God decides to make you. If God decides to make you righteous before His eyes, who is to query you? Let them call you devil, call you harlot, and call you everything. Is it their business?
    39. I am telling you that Rahab is the grandmother of Mary Magdalene.
    40. …and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). …
    41. Who puts people in right standing with Himself? Do you know what right standing means? God Himself is the One that knows what he will do so that you will be in right standing with Him.
    42. A human being cannot say, “God, I want to be in right standing with You.” God knows what he will do so that it will be the point of your being in right standing with Him. It takes God to put any human being in right standing with Himself.
    43. A mortal man does not know anything about it. Do you get it through the barrel of the gun? Do you get it by intimidation? Can you buy it with money?
    44. God knows what it takes to put every human being in right standing with Himself. First, He called you. You did not call yourself. Your duty was to respond. Have you seen it?
    45. If I tell you “Come!” and you come, you have fulfilled what I want. If you had said no and remained where you were, those benefits would not have followed you.
    46. Is it not when someone calls you and you come that he will tell you the reason why he called you? But some other person can call you, but after examining the person from head to tow, you simply go your way.
    47. If the person asks you why, you will tell him that you are not disposed to much talking at that moment because that is what Jesus was known for in His day.
    48. To the one who does not know God, he would not ask the question, “Does He speak in vain. Who are the people that are engaged in this discussion with Him?”
    49. Wherever He finds Himself, He is doing the Father’s will – the work of He that sent Him. He does not engage Himself in politics. He came for the good of mankind, especially those that belong to Him.
    50. When He called you and you came, you came by faith. You never knew whether you will be killed or not. You never knew whether you will be kept alive or not. You never knew whether you will be rebuked or not. You just responded by faith.
    51. Where are you going. See! The LORD bid me to come. And I answered the call.
    52. The Igbo adage asked pertinent questions thus: Is there any shame in responding to a proper invitation? If you march a chicken to death, will you pay for it? If you spill water, will you be asked why?
    53. Your host will even wipe off the water you spilt with a towel and even clean your legs with apologies. Your host is sorrowing more than you who spilt the water.
    54. His problem is the person who placed the water in your way. He will not demand to know whether you are blind or that you did not see the water. Even if that water turns out to be the last quantity in his house, he will never rebuke you.
    55. He will rather look for the person that placed that water on your way to rebuke the person thoroughly for embarrassing his guest. Have you understood what we are saying?
    56. God is in sympathy with the sinner. He does not want a sinner to perish. That is why he stretches His hands always to welcome anybody who will welcome that hand.
    57. He stretches His hand, and whosoever welcomes and accepts the outstretched arms, He will receive the person. That is all.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You do not know that I am your Justifier. You also do not know that I am He that will condemn you. If I set you free, you are free. Anywhere you like go. If the Son of Man sets you free, you shall be free indeed. There is nobody; There is no Angel, no matter where the person is coming from, that will condemn you. That is why I said [that] if I tell you to do something, do it because I said you should do it. Quote Me; “I did it in the Authority of the Son of Man.” Let the heavens challenge your action. Bring it before Me. If I say, “Do not try it.” Stop there. Do not move an inch. He that sent Me is still with Me. He has never left Me one bit.

    JUSTIFICATION IS BY FAITH  ALONE (2)

     

     

    1. Romans 8:30-31, AMP.30And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called;… He, first of all, foreordained in His heart. Oooh no! Not minding where you are and everywhere, He knows you very well. He knows Me. He knows where you are and He knows what you are doing.
    2. In His heart of hearts, He had already decided within Himself that He will give you eternal life. For that reason, He must come your way, whether you like it or not. You do not know Him, but He knows you. Whatever He has in mind for you, you do not know. And that thing which He has in mind for you is the reason why He is following you.
    3. You do not know how many years He had been monitoring you. You do not know the number of weeks. You do not even know where He saw you – in your afflictions and in your sorrows.
    4. Know that He is God in despised places. God is very mindful of the despised, the dejected, the hopeless, the oppressed.
    5. He saw them. He foreordained them. FOREORDINATION. It is not human ordination. It is not church ordination. That is His will concerning them.
    6. It is just like My wife whom God called Nzubechukwu [the will of God]. Her parents called her Ifeyinwa [a child is incomparable], but God knows that child is rubbish. Child is rubbish.
    7. Then God changed her name when she was not expecting it and she never prayed for it. Her name was Juliana.
    8. On My way to Jos, in the wagon we were travelling in, Okey Nwamkpa was also there. I fell asleep in the vehicle. I do not know what happened.
    9. It was only when I woke up that they narrated what happened to Me. I never knew she documented it and wrote the date in her Bible. John Abba was there. We were many.
    10. After he finished his narration, everybody started giving his own testimony about what happened, with all of them saying that they thought I was discussing with somebody in front of the vehicle. That was when I noticed that I was not there.
    11. Immediately, there and then, He sent message back home. The message got home before I came home. This was a journey of four days.
    12. God changed her name and called her, “Nzubechi Joy”, not Ifeyinwa Juliana. Nzubechi Joy. When you get the dictionary, check the meaning of JOY.
    13. When you read it, you will not say anything again. You will not say anything again. It means “The will of God”, and that is how God willed it for her.
    14. When we got the words of the Prophet, little did we know that they were the will of God which He foreordained long ago, “A Stranger with the Son of man”, placed His hand on top of Her shoulder and then told Him, “This is Your wife.”
    15. Go to the coming son of man, you will see all that were prophesied. Nzubechi fulfilled all her own to the letter.
    16. It remained the testimony of her relations who widely proclaimed that there was no other thing she could have achieved greater than where she stopped, and that she fulfilled all that God ordained her to fulfill in this life.
    17. They went further to demand that if there was anything left unfulfilled, somebody should say it. They said that Juli’s departure was because God Himself took her home and that she had fulfilled all that she was sent to do, and she has gone home.
    18. They comforted themselves with that truth. I equally comforted Myself with the truth I know. I know it is the truth.
    19. 30And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). … Note!
    20. Have you seen what follows response? If He called those people and they refused to come, will they receive justification. That responding to that call had already brought about their justification. They have been counted as the righteous.
    21. Brethren, none of them danced. None of them sang praises. None of them prayed. None of them knew that he or she could be called.
    22. Just because the person took a step of faith and came to find out the reason for the call, the person was declared justified eternally. The person has been discharged and acquitted from sin.
    23. The next thing is that God will declare the person holy. If God has made Me holy, who can de-holy Me? Do you understand what I am saying?
    24. That is why God reveals Himself to people like this. He will reveal His righteousness to them. He will reveal His holiness to them. That is the basis of rejoicing for those who believe in Him.
    25. I will perish the day the son of man will perish. The day I will enter hellfire is the day He will enter hellfire. If He is coming out, I am definitely coming out with Him. Finish!
    26. …and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). Putting them into right standing with who?
    27. And those whom He justified, He also glorified… Those He justified, He also did what? …He also glorified… Have you seen it?
    28. They will be glorified with Him together. There is no division, no dissention, no hatred, nothing nothing again. They have all automatically become God’s objects of pleasure. People who can mellow down the anger of the LORD.
    29. …[raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].Raising them to what? …a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].
    30. 31What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]
    31. Romans 8:28-30, MSG. 28-29He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.
    32. 29-30God knew what He was doing from the very beginning. What? God knew what He was doing from the very beginning.
    33. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love Him along the same lines as the life of His Son. He decided what?
    34. He decided from the outset to shape the lives… To do what? To shape the life. God will declare, “I have examined this person. He has a good heart. Start now to shape him and teach him so as to know whether he will be fitting”.
    35. He decided to shape the lives of these people to suit His own. The whole training God has given, is it not to shape your life so that you can live with Him eternally? Is it not true?
    36. But where you find it difficult to be shaped, by not making ourselves malleable, if we are thick-headed, hardhearted, impervious to truth, will He kill Himself? Will He kill Himself?
    37. When you add water to clay and it hardens up afterwards, can it be shaped again. It will then be kept and used as stone for wedging a vehicle so that the vehicle does not move backward. It is only a soft fellow that can be shaped. Is it a lie Brethren?
    38. If you are not soft, you cannot be shaped. So, once you are a hard fellow, obstinate in the heart, there is no way you can receive the truth. No way! You cannot even receive teachings, for you have unteachable spirit.
    39. Through teachings, you are shaped until you assume God’s nature within and without. Without, God has His character He is known for. Within, He has His Spirit that governs the character. Is it a lie Brethren?
    40. There is a spirit that governs every human behaviour. If that spirit commands you to go to the right, you go. If it commands you to go to the left, you go.
    41. The moment you have the spirit of Christ, you are walking on the same path with Christ. Everything, one. His thoughts are your thoughts. His ways are your ways. Everything is one. And when you stay together, there is no difference.
    42. Nobody will differentiate the behaviour of the dark-skinned person from that of the light-complexioned. There is nothing querying Him about the person He is staying with. And there is nothing querying you.
    43. But when you are staying with someone and you are afraid of that person, you will always instruct that your cup should be kept inside the house and lock the doors in case the person puts anything poisonous in the cup.
    44. Do you understand what I am saying? When he stands up from a seat, you will instruct others to search the seat to make sure that he has not dropped anything there.
    45. Listen to Me. Suspicion breeds superstition. Suspicion breeds superstition.
    46. You must suspect Me of evil for you to begin to scrutinize where I walked to know whether I dropped powder or I dropped this and that. You have already suspected Me.
    47. You must suspect your wife before you begin to monitor. You must suspect your husband before you begin to monitor.
    48. Suspicion means lack of trust. Lack of confident. You are not confident in Him. He is not confident in you. No trust. And this one is what kills love.
    49. This is because when one discovers that he is being suspected even when his heart is clear, he loses interest in the fellow. Love automatically dies a natural death. They will be abhorring each other.
    50. Love trusts everything, believes everything. Love is not suspicious. Love is not presumptuous. Ooh! Glory be to God.
    51. That is why love does not preempt anything. Love believes in everything the way it is. Love will only disbelieve if it sees that thing behaving otherwise contrary to its belief about that thing.
    52. I do not know whether I am making sense. If you are suspecting Me of evil, number one is that you have never believed in Me. I am harmful. That’s all.
    53. …He decided from the outset to shape the lives to shape the lives of those who love Him along the same lines as the life of His Son. [Yes!]
    54. The Son stands first in the line of humanity He restored. That is Christ! That is THE SON OF MAN. The first that resurrected from the dead. He stands first among the humanity He restored.
    55. That is why he made Him an example. Fix your eyes on Him, for He is your perfect example. Look upon Him. He has the final say.
    56. Until you have His nature, you can never live with Him in Paradise, for He is the One that will separate the goats from the sheep, meaning that He will separate the unbelievers from the real believers.
    57. Take note of it. Separating worshippers from churchgoers. That is His responsibility. Then judge the living and the dead. He decides who will be with Him in Paradise and who will not be.
    58. No other person is taking you there. He is the very one that is talking to you. If we cannot live in harmony here, where else can we live in harmony? Are you going to meet another person? It is still this same personality.
    59. So, whatever you are here is exactly what you will be there. If you die with it like Deacon Anslem who just died, on the resurrection morning, you will still resurrect as the same person you were.
    60. Die a wicked man, you will resurrect a wicked man. You can never die a sinner and resurrect a Saint. Never! Cut down a crooked tree. On the ground, it will still be crooked.
    61. Brethren, does the ground straighten a crooked tree? It is crooked while standing. When it is cut down, look at it very well. It will still be crooked on the ground.
    62. When preparing the grave, it will still be crooked. The grave is dug according to the nature of the casket. If the corpse is bent, the casket must be bent also. Do you not know that?

     

     

     

     

    ……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.

     

    THE SON OF MAN

    AS WE WAIT AT THE GATE OF PARADISE VOL 2; Preached on Sunday 3rd April, 2011 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 43 vs. 9 – 10

    HOW DO YOU KNOW GOD?

     

     

    1. Romans 8:29-30, MSG. 29…The Son stands first in the line of humanity He restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in Him.
    2. Is He not the One you hated. The stone the builders rejected is now the chief cornerstone. You will see the original. That is why He is the exact image of the invisible God.
    3. So, He is the express, exact picture of that God who cannot be seen. That is why the Bible said, “Through Him [Christ revealed], THE SON OF MAN, we are now able to see the invisible God.”
    4. He Who could not be seen is now made visible. When you are looking at Him, you are having Christ [God] in person.
    5. When you focused your camera before Him, was your intention not to get the picture of Brother Odoemena the Apostle? What then did your camera capture? What did you then capture? That picture you got, can you see it by merely looking at Him? Do you not know that God just came to help your faith?
    6. I am not talking about what I had passed through, to the extent that a photographer took snap shots of my full length and went ahead to snap my palms, after which they snapped My fingers. At the end of the day, I came back again for another round of snap shots.
    7. It continued until the young man told Me that he is from Agbor. He told Me that, if I do not mind, that he has a question to ask Meprivately. I said that I hope it is not related to the pictures, and he replied that I have said it all.
    8. He went on, “Sir, of a truth, I do not know how to tell people about my experience with You. I will like to know You a little, not fully. You said pictures. Is there anything wrong in getting Your pictures?”
    9. I then said, “But you got all of them the first day”, but he said that before morning, they wiped off. I said maybe it is because of your poor network, but he said, “It is impossible. I saved all. Ok. Look at the handset I used. Look at the one I used for the system which is the one that has cord.”
    10. He focused it on My face, got it direct to the system. He used the handset, got it direct from the handset, and saved the two, but before morning, all of them were gone, both the full length and the passport.
    11. He said, “Now, look at thumbprint. You did thumbprint with all the five fingers both left and right. I got them. I saved them. Now, there is nothing there again. And You have come again. Pictures are necessary. You placed your fingers on this thumbprint machine, but nothing is working again. I was trying to see what I can do, but they are not reading. I focused on Your face to get a direct image, but what I am getting is not Your photograph. Look at Your passport photographs here. See that of Your wife. I am having them here, but why is Your face not reflecting passport? This is what I am worried about. I hope I am not here with the husband of a dead woman that also died. Your wife died. I hope you did not die before her.”
    12. I asked, “You mean that I resurrected from the dead and then married her?” He said, “Sir, such things happen, but that is not what I am saying. Tell me what I will do to get your photograph so that You will go and I will complete this work.”
    13. I said, “Sir, relax your mind. Command Me on what you need. I came from My house to this place, and I never knew I will be involved in this thing.”
    14. He then said, “Now You have known, please do something.” I then told him, “You will get it now. Let Me prepare Myself.” He asked, “You mean You did not prepare before coming?”
    15. So, we started amusing ourselves. Later, I told him, “You can now take your photographs.” He then took snapshots and captured the thumbprints and all of them remained. The young man was astonished. So, such is life.
    16. There was a place I went with Amarachi. Is it not Access Bank? I do not even recall all they said there. They said that My own got lost. They started telling a long story and concluded that they will start another recapture of My biodata.
    17. I then said, “You are all crazy. Me? You are now telling Me that My photograph and My thumbprints are no longer in your system. Meanwhile, I come to this bank branch almost every month, going places with My national ID card. And now you are telling Me that you do not have My records.” So they were taking turns to explain.
    18. When we got upstairs, the people there sweated it out. One woman pinned Me down and said, “Please sit down.” And I sat down. She also checked the system and said that she did not see anything.
    19. I then told her, “You just said that you did not see anything, but take another look at that thing. I am the one there. Look at it very well.” She took a good look at it and brought it out, and I told her that I am the one there.
    20. It was then printed upstairs and was given to us, and we went downstairs with it. It was then taken to the people we met initially, who opened their system and saw it there. Do you understand what we are explaining?
    21. It is not limited to Me. I am the first Fruit. Then, you come after Me. The resurrection, the firstborn, and then those that will follow after – those that believe in Him. I do not know whether you are understanding all we are saying.
    22. If I were showing you Myself very well you will be gossiping with Me. And you may peddle the gossip to the extent where I will destroy all of you in anger. So, it becomes better that I reveal Myself to you the much you can bear.
    23. When I go out with you, it is not always for Me. It is not easy for Me. The outing I made with Sister Egbuna chased her away from this house, for she saw the whole thing with her own eyes at the Road Safety office. So, the whole experience got her dumbfounded.
    24. There is something you will hear and subsequently see, fear will overwhelm you. God is not worshipped with fear. God is worshipped in love. Are you getting what I am saying?
    25. You see God. You will see the original and intended shape, character, nature God is demanding from you and I. I am the express image of the invisible Deity, and you must bear My nature.
    26. …The Son stands first in the line of humanity He restored. Take note!We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in Him. After God made that decision of what His children should be like,…You cannot be what you want. You will be what He wants.
    27. The gospel musician sang thus, “I will be what God says I will be. That is what I will be. The devise of a human being can never hinder it.”
    28. Our problem is that we want to be something, and God wants us to be another thing. You want to be something.
    29. We received this Message long ago. “You want to be something? It is your right. But you must tell us why you want to be that thing.
    30. You owe us an explanation. We want to know why you have chosen to be that which you want to be to the neglect of that which God wants you to be.
    31. Look at what God wants you to be. See what you want to be. This is what is causing problems in the families among the children born into such families, among the servants and even husbands and wives. Everybody has something he or she wants to be.
    32. After God made that decision of what His children should be like,…
    33. You see! That was a decision God made afore-hand. It is not that you were born today and God started implementing it. God had already taken the decision. Your unbelief can never change it.
    34. God had already decided what He wants His children to be like. He made it a decision – irreversible! I will show you that it is irreversible.
    35. Amarachi! While we are reading this one, Keep Ephesians chapter 1 ready for Me.
    36. After God made that decision of what His children should be like, He followed it up by calling people by name.
    37. Who followed it up? God followed His decision up by calling people by their names. Is it not scriptural. I know you. I know your dwelling place. I know what you are doing. I know your name. I call you by your name, for you are mine.
    38. Is there any father that has children and who does not know the names of his children?
    39. I call you by your name because you are mine, saith the LORD God Almighty. Somebody, get it for Me in the Book of Isaiah. “I know you. I know your dwelling place. I call you by your name. You are mine.”
    40. You can corroborate it with the Book of Revelation. I know you, I know your dwelling place. I know your works. If you go to the Book of Isaiah, you will see it. If you go to the Book of Revelation, you will also see it.
    41. After He called them by name, He set them on a solid basis with Himself…. Unshakable! Immovable! With Himself! They are now all on the same platform. That is what we refer to as “Right standing.
    42. Wherever He is drowned is the same place you will drown. If He never drowned and Peter never got afraid, after the waves rise, they must calm down. He that is the Captain of the ship is not afraid. You see why you are a chosen people unto God.
    43. God gave others supervising counsellors and administrators to administer their affairs in their various homes, but to you here, God picked [called] you by your names and brought you here.
    44. If God never called you here, do that which will confirm your presence here. What will you do to confirm it? Be obedient to the teachings, and allow the teachings to reflect in your daily behaviours. Finish!
    45. This is because whoever that cometh unto Me, I will in no wise cast away, for no man can come to Me unless My father brings him to Me. And whoever He brings to me, I will not reject.
    46. My duty is to save that person and give Him eternal life. He will not perish. Nothing will snatch him out of My hand.
    47. After He called them by name, He set them on a solid basis with Himself. And then, after getting them established, He stayed with them to the end,…He stayed with them till the end.
    48. If you read it in the Book of John chapter 13, it said, “Having loved His own that are in the world, He loves them till the end.” And then, if you go to Matthew 28, it reads, “He will be with you even till the end of the world.”
    49. REFERENCES: [1] John 13:1, KJV. 1Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that His hour was come that He should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end.
    50. [2] Matthew 28:20, KJV. 20teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you : and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
    51. You see that assurance. You can know who assured you now. Know the divine personality that is in the son of man who is your Guide, your Leader, your Instructor, your Saviour, Christ made manifest in your day.
    52. If You have not seen all the attributes of the Deity in Him, that goes to show that you have never for one day followed Him with the intent to believe in Him that you might be saved. Maybe, you are following as a fault finder or a conditional worshipper.
    53. And then, after getting them established, He stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what He had begun. Did any of you begin it? Did any one of you initiate this thing in his or her life?
    54. If you go to the Book of Philippians, He said, “The LORD God Who started this good work in you will complete it.” He will complete it.
    55. REFERENCE: Philippians 1:6, TLB. 6And I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in his grace until his task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns.
    56. He that started the good work, the same will also complete it. Have you seen it here again? Just look at it. HE GLORIOUSLY…
    57. 31So, what do you think?With God on our side like this, how can we lose? … With God on our side like this, how can we be losers? How can we be losers?
    58. Do we have it in the Bible? Galatians chapter 2 says, “What if we believe in Christ and discover at last that our belief cannot save us?”
    59. It said, “Do not ever say such a thing. Let nobody ever think of saying such a thing concerning our saviour Christ. Rather, we shall be found to be transgressors [sinners] if we begin to rebuild the old system of trying to please God by obeying Jewish laws.”
    60. REFERENCES: Galatians 2:17-18, TLB. 17But what if we trust Christ to save us and then find that we are wrong and that we cannot be saved without being circumcised and obeying all the other Jewish laws? Wouldn’t we need to say that faith in Christ had ruined us? God forbid that anyone should dare to think such things about our LORD. 18Rather, we are sinners if we start rebuilding the old systems I have been destroying of trying to be saved by keeping Jewish laws.
    61. Did you get the Message? But as long as we are standing by faith in Christ, our faith in Him will never fail.
    62. 31So, what do you think?With God on our side like this, how can we lose?If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us,… He did not hesitate to put everything on the line for us, including Himself. He laid down His life.
    63. If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing Himself to the worst by sending His own Son, is there anything else He wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?
    64. And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? What? Who? Who will then tangle? Who will fight with God? By doing what? …by messing with one of God’s chosen. Who is that person? Who can battle with the LORD by attempting to offend or defile any of these God’s chosen ones?
    65. See how highly valued you are. Who can make war with God. Who can tangle? Who are you? I told you that you are the apple of God’s own eyes.
    66. Anybody pointing at you is pointing directly at God’s own eyes, and the battle the person is bringing to himself is greater than the person can bear. It is greater than the whole world.
    67. Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us— [Can you imagine?] who was raised to life for us!—… Have you heard it? The One who died for us and was raised to life for us.
    68. The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. He is what? is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us.
    69. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! There is no way! No struggle!
    70. …Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:… Not even what? …the worst sins listed in Scripture:… Is able or will be able to take us away from the love of God nor from the presence of the Almighty.
    71. Can you see it? When we talk of this eternal security, you must know what it is before you begin to find your placement. You will know your genealogy with time. I halted that Message yesterday, not forever. Maybe, one day or tomorrow, you will continue.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I want to admire the Camp. It is not by might. It is not by power. It is just by the grace of God. We are not in any way better than the people out there. He that opened our eyes of understanding blinded them. He said that He came so those that claim they see might be made blind and those that say they are blind, their eyes might be opened. He gave some believing hearts to believe the Truth and He gave some unbelieving heart to believe lies for the world lieth in wickedness. Who did this selection? The Almighty God! Who included you in the number? The Almighty God! 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.

    Amazing Grace

     

     

    1. Isaiah 43:1, KJV. 1But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
    2. The Message Bible. 1But now, God’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel:“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
    3. 2When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end—
      3Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Saviour.
    4. I am what? …your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Saviour.I paid a huge price for you:…
    5. I did what? …I paid a huge price for you:… A huge ransom, not with blood of animals, but His own precious blood..
    6. …I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!4That’s how much you mean to me! [Amen]That’s how much I love you! …
    7. Complete Jewish Bible. 1But now this is what Adonai says, He who created you, Ya‘akov, he who formed you, Isra’el:“Don’t beafraid, for I have redeemed you; I am calling you by your name; you are mine.
    8. 2When you pass through water, I will be with you; when you pass through rivers, they will not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire, you will not be scorched —the flame will not burn you.
    9. 3For I am Adonai, your God,
      the Holy One of Isra’el, your Savior —I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and S’va for you.4Because I regard you as valued and honoured, and because I love you. …
      HE PAID A HUGE RANSOM TO REDEEM YOU, NOT WITH GOLD AND SILVER, BUT WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST.
    10. Ephesians 1:2-4, TLB. [2]May his blessings and peace be yours, sent to you from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
    11. [3]How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.
    12. [4]Long ago, even before He made the world, God chose us to be His very own… God did what?God chose us to be His very own through what Christ would do for us; He decided then to make us holy in His eyes,… Have you seen that it takes God to make a people holy?
    13. …He decided then to make us holy in His eyes, without a single fault—… Without what? …without a single fault—we who stand before Him covered with His love.
    14. [5]His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And He did this because he wanted to!
    15. Ephesians 1:4-7, MSG.4Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of His love, to be made whole and holy by His love5Long, long ago He decided to adopt us into His family through Jesus Christ.
    16. Remember, He is talking about Jesus Christ that has a family and not Jesus Christ that has no Family.
    17. (What pleasure He took in planning this!)He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
    18. 7-10Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, His blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free!
    19. He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.
    20. 11-12It’s in Christ we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, He had His eyes on us,… What?
    21. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, He had His eyes on us,… So, it is not accidental.
    22. …had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose He is working out in everything and everyone.
    23. 13-14It’s in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free—signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. … You found yourself home, signed, sealed, delivered and free.
    24. This signet from God is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life. Amen!
    25. Revelation 2:13, KJV.13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
    26. 13I know where you live—a place where Satan sits enthroned. [Yet] you are clinging to and holding fast My name, and you did not deny My faith, even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed (martyred) in your midst—where Satan dwells.
    27. 13I am fully aware that you live in the city where Satan’s throne is, at the centre of satanic worship; and yet you have remained loyal to Me and refused to deny Me even when Antipas, My faithful witness, was martyred among you by Satan’s devotees.
    28. 13“I see where you live, right under the shadow of Satan’s throne. But you continue boldly in my Name; you never once denied my Name, even when the pressure was worst, when they martyred Antipas, my witness who stayed faithful to me on Satan’s turf.

    30. 7HE WILL NEVER ALLOW SOMETHING TO BE DONE TO THEM EXCEPT HIS DECISION. THIS MEANS THAT WHATEVER GOD HAS NOT APPROVED CAN NEVER COME TO A CHILD OF GOD.I hope we are with him.
    31. 7HE WILL NEVER ALLOW SOMETHING TO BE DONE TO THEM EXCEPT HIS DECISION. Who are those people referred to as “Them”? God’s own children chosen by God before the world begun, who are here serving Him.
    32. 8NOTHING CAN HAPPEN TO A CHILD OF GOD EXCEPT THAT WHICH GOD HAS DECIDED AND APPROVED TO HAPPEN TO HIM. SURE! AND THE PURPOSE IS ALL FOR HIM TO LEARN A LESSON.
    33. 13THE PATIENCE OF EVERYBODY MUST BE TESTED.SURE! YOU HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE. YOU HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE SO THAT WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE TO THE MESSAGE IS FULFILLED, YOU WILL GET THE PROMISE.
    34. 14For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God,…After you have done what? The will of God. Not before! Am I making sense. You do not crown an individual and then tell the person to go and compete. Giving you the trophy before you go to compete in the football pitch. Is it ever done?
    35. Now that you have known who you are in the sight of God, if you perish tomorrow, who do you blame? If you perish tomorrow, who do you blame?
    36. You must first be a son before you become a prodigal son. You must be a daughter before you become a prodigal daughter. So, you must be a righteous fellow before you become a sinner. I hope you are hearing Me.
    37. Now that you have known who you are – sons and daughters of the Most High God – a wonderful privilege which others are not enjoying, what if you leave God and begin to behave like people who do not know God?
    38. What if you abandon your home and abandon your final place where you have the hope of eternal life and behave like the heathens living round about you? Do you think that God will keep the covenant? Never!
    39. He will disown you as a man disowns an errant child. So He will disown you and hand you over for destruction instead of tarnishing the image of the Family.
    40. 14For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. [Hebrews 10:36, KJV]
    41. 15THE MOMENT OUR OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH REVEALED TO US IN OUR OWN DAY IS FULFILLED, NOTHING STOPS US FROM GETTING THE PROMISE, BECAUSE THE COVENANT HE MADE WITH HIS PEOPLE IS AN EVERLASTING COVENANT.
    42. That is why we see our inclusion as a dignified one. It is divine. Then if we abuse it, will God allow us to continue with the abuse? You blame yourself.
    43. Go anywhere you like, nobody will teach you this truth. Before you open your mouth, they will raise something to divert your attention away so that you can give them money. This is true. They will pretend to be your friend so that they will get money from you. We hate such practices. We do not indulge in it.
    44. We reveal the wholesome truth to you to enable you find your bearing because you are like sheep that wandered away from the shepherd.
    45. Now that you are returning to the God and Shepherd of your salvation, our duty is to guide you perfectly well so that you can be poised for all you will see and who you will follow.
    46. Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu: Luke 12:4-7, KJV. 4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5But I will forewarn you Whom ye shall fear: Fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear Him.
    47. 6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
    48. 4-5“I’m speaking to you as dear friends. Don’t be bluffed into silence or insincerity by the threats of religious bullies. True, they can kill you, but then what can they do? There’s nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands.
    49. Religious bullies! Religious threats, telling you that you are going to hellfire even when they themselves do not know the way. Do not ever be threatened by such things.
    50. They themselves are in danger. And for their sakes, the gate of hell is expanded everyday. Such are the people God said He will fill hell along with Satan and his demons.
    51. REFERENCE: Surah 7:18, Abdulahi Yusuf Translation. 18(Allah) said (to Iblîs) “Get out from this (Paradise) disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all.”
    52. So, they are looking for more converts. That is why God asked, “What is the essence of the crusades? Is it not to seek converts.”
    53. The Scriptures said that when they make such converts, they will make them more of candidates of hell than heaven. if the person was nearer to heaven, they will succeed in dragging the person farther away from the gate of Heaven.
    54. REFERENCE: Matthew 23:15, KJV. 15Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
    55. 4-5“I’m speaking to you as dear friends. Don’t be bluffed into silence or insincerity by the threats of religious bullies. True, they can kill you, but then what can they do? There’s nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands.
    56. That is why He has the power of all flesh, man and woman. And then, He said that He will handpick. He will select. If we are privileged to be selected, you see, it is just a privilege. A wonderful one.
    57. And then, what happens to those He did not select? Are we better than those people? Never!

     

    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. Your murmuring, your complaining o, your criticism o, whether it suits you or not, it makes no meaning, because what is written is written. Greater than any ink and greater than any biro is in My palm. Let Me tell you. The best thing a friend seeks from a nice friend is a warm handshake and a warm welcome. Has this prophesy come to pass? A good number of us are still alive and the thing has happened at last. If that is the case, we are expecting the rest to come in the same manner others are happening. So, the rest will also line up, for He that proclaimed those that came to pass is He that proclaimed those that we are waiting [for] and He is still saying more.

    2. 25ANYBODY GOD WANTS TO DESTROY, HE WILL HARDEN HIS HEART AGAINST THE TRUTH, MAKE HIS NECK STIFF SO THAT HE WILL NOT RETAIN THE WORDOF GOD IN HIS HEART THAT GOD MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED IN THE DAY OF HIS DESTRUCTION.
    3. 26THAT IS WHY IF YOU ARE WISE AND UNDERSTANDING, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO STUDY YOUR HUMAN NATURE AND STUDY YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE. [SURE!!!] IF THEY ARE NOT YIELDING WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTING, YOU ARE NOT MEASURING UP, GO ON YOUR KNEES, GO FLAT, GO NAKED BEFORE THE LORD WITHOUT HYPOCRISY. LIE BARE ON THE FLOOR. TELL GOD, NAKED YOU CAME INTO THIS WORLD, NAKED YOU HAVE COME TO PLEAD YOUR CASE.
    4. 27But when you ignore it and think it does not matter, you will continue with that silly life, useless life and get destroyed in the end.
    5. Remember there is the intended nature He [God] wants to see in all of us.
    6. REFERENCES: [1] Colossians 1:15, MSG. We look at this Son and we see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created.
    7. [2] Romans 8:30, MSG.30The Son stands first in the line of humanity He restored. We seethe original and intended shape of our livesthere in him. After God made that decision of what His children should be like, He followed it up by calling people by name. After He called them by name, He set them on a solid basis with Himself. And then, after getting them established, He stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what He had begun.
    8. We look at THE SON OF MAN and we see the original life intended for us. There is no other place you can look to and you see that original life.
    9. SONG: [The Original life, the Original Seed, the Original Word is what I believe. The Son of man is revealed, the seventh seal is unveiled. The Original life, The original Seed.]
    10. The original Life. The original Word. That is what we believe or never. That is what you will believe and it will take you to Paradise or never. That is why He said, “Believe it if you can”, but if you do not want to believe, be sure He never came for you.
    11. And do not hinder others.
    12. 33Can you fool God? Impossible! Craftiness, subtlety, cleverness, sharpness can not stand before God. There is no type of manipulation you can manipulate that God will never catch you. Go ahead. Keep on manipulating and God is also manipulating.
    13. 34You keep on planning, and God will show you that He is the chiefest of all the planners. From the Scriptures, He has also shown the time He started planning about the people He is to save, His plans of how He will call them, how He will justify them and how He will walk with them.
    14. From the outset.
    15. …By the time you conclude, God is waiting at the end to strike you.
    16. 3554And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah. [Surah 3:54 Abdullah Yusuf Ali]
    17. Everything is summed up in Him. Go up and come down, where are you running to. After washing it, you will still step into it.
    18. 42EVERY HUMAN BEING HERE ON EARTH HAS A DAY ALLOTTED TO HIM FOR THE JUDGMENT OF HIS INIQUITY,… Sure!!!BOTH IN THIS LIFE AND IN THE LIFE TO COME.
    19. 49Even those that abandoned this Faith calling Me devil, coming all out even to kill THE SON OF MAN, I said I will never judge them because they are already earmarked for hell; destruction. Why judge them? Why reply to them?
    20. 50But I will do one thing. They will never die a quiet death. They must talk about where the world will hear all their atrocities. Amen!
    21. One was stoned to death. A woman! She was stoned to death publicly in Abuja. A blasphemer who made herself a prophetess to deceive God’s children.
    22. …They will confessions before dying.
    23. 5426But God sent Moses as his representative, and Aaron with him, 27to call down miracles of terror upon the land of Egypt.
    24. 55 Brethren, God is to be feared. Did you see how God planned the escape? He stirred up trouble. God was the one that stirred up trouble. God was the one that sent a Saviour in the midst of the trouble. Can you see what is happening there?
    25. As the eagle stirreth her nest.
    26. 87God closed all the boundaries, grounded airplanes, grounded the ship, grounded vehicles, closed motor parks. The world became very uncomfortable. 88Those that have money in the banks started having difficulty in withdrawing the money, even till today.
    27. And the LORD said that He used that one to prove to us that if God wants this world to end this moment, what He will do is not a problem.
    28. He told us that He can even tamper with the banking system and then, everybody’s account will be equal reflecting 000.00. Then, how can you begin to balance such account. Somebody that had trillions of naira and you that had just two thousand naira, all of you will be having ₦000.00 there.
    29. When your brains are formatted, will you even know that you ever had money? Will there be anyone who will be indebted to the other? The brain has been formatted. All you know is that you are alive.
    30. Page 58 verse 14. 14He has taught us the reasons why people are disappointed in this Ministry. He [God] enumerated them thus — [1] Insincerity, [2] Joining The Faith with wrong motive, [3] Hypocrisy, [4] Impatience, [5] Suspicion, [6] Over Estimation of the Ministry, [7] Leadership tussle, [8] Envy and [9] Jealousy. Pure Truth!!! THESE ARE THE NINE NOTEDVIRUSES HE MENTIONED THAT ARE OURINDIVIDUAL PROBLEMS.
    31. 15Who has escaped this? Note their names. If there be any one that is traceable to your life, you are doomed to destruction.
    32. 18Nine cankerworms that destroy people in this Faith. When you join the Faith with wrong motive, instead of what God said the Faith is all about, you have your own motive. That is pure truth.
    33. 19Some joined the Faith with intent to exploit the Brethren. Sure!!! Some joined the Faith with intent to better their lot. Some joined the Faith for one reason or the other.
    34. 26When they came, miracles were overflowing, signs were overflowing, bread and butter, they were eating free food and free meat. Everything, including free drinks.
    35. 27They were shouting, “The Lord, He is the God! The Lord He is the God. The Messiah has come.” Immediately He stepped back and opened the Word of God; the Word of eternal life, they said; “God forbid! What? Who can stand to hear this type of thing? Is that why we are following? No, no, no, no! …
    36. It happened in this Faith. It happened in Jos. It happened in Lokoja. It happened in Abuja before many witnesses. God trimming down the crowd. It happened greatly in Onitsha and Enugu, though we do not have anybody in Enugu except those few chosen by God before the world began to bear His Name for good.
    37. Who can believe that what is left now are not even in the Faith? When the number of the people that embraced this Faith were uncountable, there was no Meeting we held where we never recorded thousands of people.
    38. There was one we held, and I think that was in 2012. There was no space. Everywhere was filled up to the Police station. The whole premises were filled. Under every tree was a dwelling place. The whole of that compound in GTC, everywhere was jampacked.
    39. Remember, the beds we had then were double bunks. We saw many people, but what happened at last?
    40. What can we say about 1999? Have you forgotten? I mean Onitsha alone. 1999. God called them “Time-Programmed Christians”. So, they must leave. Where are they today? They have left.
    41. When Prophet Branham was performing miracles, signs and wonders, healing, people were thronging and following him. But along the way, when he opened the Word, after showing them that which made him a Prophet from God, the evidence that he came from the presence of God, he then went on to tell them about the halo over his head, “It is a spec that the Almighty God sent me. But my ministry, my mission I believe is not to come and be healing all of you. It is to come and prepare the way for the One that will come.”
    42. To forerun the coming Word.
    43. And when He will come, look at what you are going to know Him for.
    44. This is because he [Prophet Branham] was laying a foundation for He that was to come, and who will build on that foundation.
    45. He [Prophet Branham] opened the Word and preached the Message, “WHY I AM AGAINST ORGANIZED RELIGION.” It is just like I spoke this morning, concluding all of them as the enemies of truth, for their whole duties are indoctrinating their members against the truth.
    46. For that reason, they established institutions that will harden people in error, for they knew ahead of time that they were in error.
    47. Watch all of them today standing on one platform. Take note of what I am saying. They are bearing different names, but they are united in the system. Divided by names which they are answering, but united in the same practice and in the same system of unbelief.
    48. Whether you call them Assemblies of God, Baptist, Cherubim, Pentecostals of all sorts, Catholic, CMS and everything, these are different names they are bearing. By system they are one. And that is why they belong to one organization. All of them belong to one organization.
    49. 33Where are the thousands who were milling around the Messages of THE SON OF MAN when there was complete lock down and they were thinking that the next thing will be catching away of the Saints?
    50. 34Now, God knew it and said He will touch the hearts of the rulers and the measures will be relaxed. People will go on the streets again. They will think the trouble is over.
    51. 35And God will keep His eyes on the Elect (The Bride) to know whether they will forget what happened during the total lockdown, how they were taken care of and how they survived. And then see whether they will join the world.36And look at it again. They have all joined the world. All. And God is somewhere watching from a Grand Stand.
    52. 39Psalm 37:1– 3, Living Bible. 1Never envy the wicked! 2Soon they fade away like grass and disappear.
    53. 42Proverb 24:19– 20, Living Bible. 19-20Don’t envy the wicked. Don’t covet his riches. For THE EVIL MANHAS NO FUTURE; HIS LIGHT WILL SOON BE SNUFFED OUT.
    54. 48An Igbo adage says “HE WHO ACQUIRES NUMEROUS LANDED PROPERTIES WILL DEFINITELY GIVE BIRTH TO A CHILD THAT SELLS LANDED PROPERTIES.Is it contestable? He will sell all of them, even in one day.
    55. 57It will only take a foolish person to take a decision to acquire such wealth with the intent that even if he dies, the living will enjoy it. That is Abia State spirit. Abia spirit! What? … That is Abia State spirit. Abia spirit!
    56. 60Abia spirit. That is why the whole crime in Igbo land started in Abia State. Kidnapping was unknown in Igboland until we began to hear it at Aba; Ala-Ojii. The boundary between Rivers State and Abia State, for they inherited it from Niger–Delta.
    57. It is just like one person was telling me about another person and of how the person has travelled abroad and has acquired so much wealth. After stating all he achieved, I told him to scrutinize very well to ensure that the means is very pure and that there is no problem if he made his money sincerely.
    58. He retorted and asked Me, “Is there any youth in Nigeria now that does not indulge in scam?” So, they have legalized it, and he said that there is no youth in Nigeria that does not indulge in electronic scam and what they are saying is that they should not go as far as rituals.
    59. Does one get money through pressing of phones and computers [gambling and scam – advance fee fraud]?

     

    If I, the Son of Man (The Fountain) will find time to study these Messages, not minding that I am the Source of the Message, who are you then to feel that you have arrived. You only pack a big library and do a little preaching. No! ….. This Faith is your life. Your life is tied to it. Hate this Faith, you hate your life. You hate your future. You hate even your children. Once you hate this Faith, you are likely to commit suicide. That is why I do not beg anybody to be in this Faith. Neither do I persuade you to leave. But when you think you are being deceived, you must come back with your own testimony that, “I nearly died.”

    An idle fellow

    in the sight of God

     

     

    1. DANGER SIGNAL EXPLAINED, Page 81 from verse 1. 1God did not say we should remain idle, No! He enjoined us to keep our hands busy in those approved businesses… Sure!!! …that will not take us away from the love of God… Amen! …so that our idleness will not create a vacuum for us to become devil’s workshop. Amen!
    2. I asked him, “Is that where you are now? So, the person can do yahoo, but the person should not add ritual yahoo. So, you have approved yahoo business that anybody that must succeed must do it through gambling and scam – advance fee fraud also called yahoo business.”
    3. When God is saying these things, He is saying it to protect His own because we are all living within this same society. You have seen what the world is approving and what God has approved for us. We must follow God’s own way.
    4. Let Me ask this question. What does it take a man to be idle? Is it being jobless [I mean] staying without a work which he should do to earn a living? What does it take for a mind to be labelled an idle mind, which makes that mind or the individual that owns that mind a home for the devil Himself?
    5. Hear Me very well because I will not stay long there. An idle fellow, an idle mind is one that has no room for God and for the things of God. One whose heart has no accommodation for the Word of God which is the Wordof wisdom, the Word of life. One whose heart is not occupied by the Spirit of Christ.
    6. This is the mind that is considered to be idle in the sight of God. that is the human being, that is the human soulthat is considered to be idle.
    7. You may be gainfully employed in reasonable work where you make lots and lots of money, but your heart has no room for Christ. youR heart has no room for the Word of God.
    8. your heart is always busy thinking, creating and recreating places of interest you will go. Places of interest that are centres for evil.
    9. This is because when youR heart is not harbouring the Word of God which has the power to withhold you from evil, you are porous and prone to all the attacks of the devil.
    10. The devil will take the room created by you to welcome him. You garnished it very well.
    11. Every now and then, it is your academic work, your business life, including your tourism, places of enjoyment, worldly friends you will like to visit.
    12. Then, your telephone handset becomes your best friend. There, you will now see that you will be sweating while communicating with devils.
    13. The days are gone when we think that evil communication that spoils good character means having contacts with fellow human beings in the flesh, discussing with them and interacting with them, but this time around, we now have human beings that we cannot shake their hands physically speaking, but we salute them every day, and they salute us every day.
    14. We keep ourselves busy with their conversations that are ungodly. Useless discussions! Today, they can call it every kind of name because the devil is an expert in introducing new names for evil.
    15. This yahoo-yahoo-yahoo. Yahoo is a very nice word. Yahoo does not mean defrauding people. Let somebody give Me the meaning of Yahoo from your dictionary.
    16. REFERENCE: wikipedia.org: The word “yahoo” is a backronym for “Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle” or “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle”.
    17. The term “hierarchical” described how the Yahoo database was arranged in layers of subcategories. The term “oracle” was intended to mean “source of truth and wisdom”, and the term “officious”, rather than being related to the word’s normal meaning, described the many office workers who would use the Yahoo database while surfing from work.
    18. However, founders Filo and Yang insist they mainly selected the name because they liked the slang definition of a “yahoo” (used by college students in David Filo’s native Louisiana in the late 1980s and early 1990s to refer to an unsophisticated, rural Southerner): “rude, unsophisticated, uncouth.” This meaning derives from the Yahoo race of fictional beings from Gulliver’s Travels.
    19. 4-1-9 is the baptismal name for evil. I hope you are hearing Me. When we were born, we knew nothing called 4-1-9. The devil introduced dubious ways of duping people. Extorting money from people became 4-1-9. So there was nothing like that. A thief is a thief. I repeat, “A thief is a thief.
    20. Any form it masquerades itself that ends in dispossessing of his money and property whether fraudulently or otherwise, whether by violence or other fraudulent means, it has no other name than robbery.
    21. You are robbing the individual of his property and of his money and belongings fraudulently or violently, you are a robber before God.
    22. Whether you are using Biro® pen to do it or your telephone, in any form or shape you are doing it, or by inflating prices of items because your evil will be associated with your work.
    23. Anywhere you are engaging yourself is where your evil is emanating from, for the devil will be waiting for you there.
    24. The devil is everywhere. Provided you are doing something, the devil is equally there to truncate your vision, your idea, your mind from doing good and redirecting it to doing evil.
    25. There are too many baptismal names we have received in this generation. We knew nothing called banditry or insurgence. Today, we can hear about terrorism. Terrorism! Some are called terrorists. Some are called bandits. Some are called insurgents. I hope I am making sense.
    26. At the end of the day, they all end at unleashing mayhem. Banditry unleashes mayhem to humanity. Insurgence unleashes mayhem. Are you following Me? Terrorism unleashes mayhem.
    27. Now, at the end of everything, the devil will coin a name that will make it to look very beautiful and appear very very high-sounding so that people will embrace it.
    28. Watch the Fulani herdsmen and their troubles. And I keep on maintaining that there is no trouble with Fulani herdsmen.
    29. Rather, some people are hiding under the cloak of Fulani herdsmen to perpetrate evil. Take note of what I am saying no matter the name they are masquerading themselves.
    30. Take for example the South East. There are too many names we have there that are associated with crimes of all magnitudes. They end it unleashing mayhem.
    31. So, branding is what the devil has now specialized in. The devil is an expert in branding everything to suit his operations.
    32. Where we are now is content creation. You see this content creation, whether you are computer literate or not, look into it surreptitiously.
    33. With the surreptitious look of an old man, you can see what is contained in that baggage called content creation.
    34. It contains unlimited contents, just like the computer has unlimited information. Content creation has no definition that is [I mean] simple or accurate.
    35. Now that we talk about yahoo and many other things that are associated with evils, the question arises. Who indulges in them? Are they perpetrated by people that have no occupation? Why are they the devil’s workshop? Is it because they have no means of livelihood?
    36. Since you know that in this yahoo, even big men are involved. Small men, big women, small women, fathers, mothers and their children, they are all involved, Can we say that a student is an idle mind?
    37. A student that is on course pursuing his programmes and studies, starting from primary to university level, can he be idle? Can he be classified as a worker when he is still on course?
    38. A student should be pre-occupied with His studies. Number one is, if that child was brought up in the family way [in a godly way], he places God first, knowing that without God, his pursuit will end midway. Without receiving God’s backing, he knows he cannot make it to the end.
    39. So, All I am trying to say is, any human being born of a woman whose heart is not filled with the Word of truth that is able to hinder the person from indulging in evil, is an idol mind. such is an idol person.
    40. Why? The gap he created in his heart is already filled by the governor and ruler of this evil world which is the devil. Nothing stops him from joining others.
    41. People do not steal because they do not have money. People still have money and steal. What can we say about the ivory towers. I mean these top top politicians. Is there any group of people in Nigeria today where you cannot find criminals?
    42. What is corruption? What is corruption? What is corruption? And who and who are corrupt? What makes them corrupt? Who is impoverishing our nation today? Are they people like you and I?
    43. Since you are in a nation where the rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer, who then is persecuting who? You are living in a nation where the poor is being impoverished more so as to enrich the richer.
    44. A nation where only poor people pay taxes. Rich people do not pay. The taxes are used to enrich the rich. A nation where laws are made to protect the rich and devastate the poor.
    45. I want you to know that if your heart is not occupied by the Word of life, you are idle. I say, you are a busybody serving the interest of the devil. Am I making sense at all?
    46. Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I may not sin against You. Thy Word is a lamp unto My footstool. It keeps Me from stumbling My legs on the stumbling stone and from falling into the ditch.
    47. Then, what if this Word of God is not stored in your heart? Would you not join them in sinning against God. What if the Word of God is not the Light illuminating your pathways? Would you not join them?
    48. This is why we have to move with the best interpretation God has given, for God is the perfect interpreter of His own Word. That is why He said that in order to avoid being idle, study at all times to show yourself approved unto God as a workman that needs not be ashamed but rightly diving the Word of truth.
    49. Saint Paul encouraged Timothy and said, “Until I come your way again, give yourself over to study.” Did you get the Message? He said you should preach the Word of God in season and out of season. Pray without ceasing. Pray at all times. Maintain regular prayers.
    50. Will all these things hinder you from doing your work? Saint Paul was working as a tent maker. Did it stop him from doing his missionary work?
    51. So it is. The LORD Jesus was working as a carpenter with his father in one workshop. Did it stop him from carrying out his assignments? What can you say about others? I do not know whether you are getting what I am saying.

     

     

     

     

    Anything contrary, we are in danger of being called to question. Look, My Brethren, the hour we are in is the hour that your focus and My focus should be as that of the Guide as our Leader. ….. Brethren, you and I are in danger of being called to question. Our only Link, the Son of Man, our only Chief Designer, the Son of Man. The Only Chief Navigator is asking us to manifest His attributes.

     

    THE SON OF MAN

    I AM THE STANDARD FOR JUDGMENT TO ALL MEN VOL 1; Preached on Sunday 9th October 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 28 vs. 21 – 22 & Pg. 58 vs. 95

    Work must be approved by God

     

     

    1. There is one Scripture that gives Me joy Give Me that living Bible. I think it should be First Corinthians chapter 2 from verse 14 through 16. Use Living Bible.
    2. 1 Corinthians 2:14-16, TLB. 14A man who hasn’t the Spirit can’t understand and can’t accept these thoughts from God, which the Holy Spirit teaches us. They sound foolish to him because only those who have the Holy Spirit within them can understand what the Holy Spirit means. Others just can’t take it in.
    3. 15But the spiritual man has insight into everything, and that bothers and baffles the man of the world, who can’t understand him at all. Amen!
    4. 16How could he? For certainly he has never been one to know the Lord’s thoughts, or to discuss them with him, or to move the hands of God by prayer. But, strange as it seems, we Christians actually do have within us a portion of the very thoughts and mind of Christ. Have you heard it?
    5. Take note of it. Anybody who does not fall within this category, is he not an idle fellow? He is a completely idle fellow. Let the gift of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom. Then, there would not be any reason for thinking evil or fomenting evil.
    6. KEEP YOURSELF BUSY AT ALL TIMES MEANS MEDITATE UPON THE WORD OF GOD. PRAY AND STUDY. IF IT IS POSSIBLE, AND YOU HAVE THE MEANS, EVANGELIZE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
    7. 2 Corinthians 2:16-17, TLB. 16To those who are not being saved, we seem a fearful smell of death and doom, while to those who know Christ we are a life-giving perfume. But who is adequate for such a task as this?
    8. 17Only those who, like ourselves, are men of integrity, sent by God, speaking with Christ’s power, with God’s eye upon us. We are not like those hucksters—and there are many of them—whose idea in getting out the Gospel is to make a good living out of it.
    9. There is one I am looking forward to getting, “A man should continue with the work he was doing when God called him.” Get it there.
    10. Even the one we read, if you are not a man of integrity or a woman of integrity, you must join the world. You must join in this wild life – wild profligacies.
    11. If you do not have spiritual insight, you will justify what God had already condemned. You will justify your brothers and sister who are engaging in all these nefarious activities that are harmful to human life – harmful to the spirit and harmful to the flesh.
    12. And our families are now dominated with people within this category. True or false. You can hardly get a family that is devoid of the influence of these bad people. They infiltrate into families in one form or the other. We are in trouble Brethren.
    13. Do you know that among these hooligans are found rapists? The whole rapists are found there. There, you get all kidnappers. Am I making sense? Check what is happening in the families today.
    14. Usually, a man should continue with the work he was doing when the LORD called him. Did you get what I am saying. It is in the Book of Corinthians. If a man should continue with what he was doing when God called him, you must know what the work is all about.
    15. Is there any occupation that God ordained that is called robbery? Did God ordain robbery as an occupation? Did God ordain prostitution, harlotry – man or woman using their bodies to earn a living? Did God ordain it?
    16. I want you to see, for people will lay hand on this Scripture and begin to perpetrate evil. Watch any work God never ordained for man. Hear Me very well. Anybody indulging in it is incurring the wrath of God. Did you get the Message?
    17. It is in the Book of Corinthians. I am sure of what I am saying. Usually, a man should continue with the work he was doing when God called Him. I quoted it rightly.
    18. 1 Corinthians 7:20-24, TLB. 20Usually a person should keep on with the work he was doing when God called him. Did I quote it rightly? Word for word.21Are you a slave? Don’t let that worry you—but of course, if you get a chance to be free, take it. Good!
    19. 22If the Lord calls you, and you are a slave, remember that Christ has set you free from the awful power of sin;… God has set you free from the awful power of sin.…and if he has called you and you are free, remember that you are now a slave of Christ.
    20. 23You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him—be free now from all these earthly prides and fears.
    21. 24So, dear brothers, whatever situation a person is in when he becomes a Christian, let him stay there, for now the Lord is there to help him. Amen! Have you seen it?
    22. Some give it wrong interpretation, but look at what the Scripture said. It is believed you must have repented from all those sins. You are now serving God, being purchased by Christ.
    23. There is no need for you now to abandon your calling in Christ and begin to engage in all worldly pursuits that will deprive you of the Spirit of Christ.
    24. Get the right meaning because a spiritual man has a spiritual insight into everything. If you do not have spiritual insight into every activity, you will justify evil activities for your children. You may even empower them to join their folks which has become the order of the day.
    25. Too many families in this Faith, their fathers and mothers, wives and so on do not have spiritual insight, for they are not spiritual. They cannot discern things at all.
    26. And that is why their children capitalize on their stupidity, ignorance and foolishness [I mean] to perpetrate evil even while they are still alive simply because they lack spiritual insight.
    27. They encourage their children to bring home evil wealth they looted. I am telling you the whole truth. You know when your child is living within the income you are giving that child if she is a student.
    28. If My children are living in the school above what I am giving them for their sustenance, I know. When a student is living a life beyond what the parents are giving, surely, there is somebody somewhere who is taking care of that student.
    29. And anyone that takes care of a student outside the family is evil. And that is why a child keeps it away from the parents.
    30. This is because if that person is genuine, whether man or woman, before ever a child will indulge in that, the parents must know about it.
    31. For we are living at a time when our children appear to know of their uncles, aunties, cousins and so on more than their parents. They know their relations today more than their parents.
    32. A cousin – first cousin, second and third. Half brother and half sister. And you continue to believe it because you lack spiritual insight. But if you happen to be a man of integrity with the Spirit of Christ guiding you, every step your child takes, you must find out where he is heading to.
    33. Somebody is beating the drum for that your child whether male or female. But unfortunately, parents are fuelling the crisis. I say, parents are the people that are fuelling this crisis.
    34. They will go to the bush and cut down some trees there, only to come out and begin to shout, “Who is cutting down the trees?” This is what parents are doing. They are playing double standards – both male and female.
    35. So, we better have this truth inside us that such parents do not meet God’s standard requirement for salvation. People that encourage their children to go out and practice evil with their folks. Is that a good way of bringing them up in the fear of God?
    36. Such parents will tell their children, “Go ahead and follow your mates in whatever they are doing, and not whenever you need anything you come and tell me. Your mates are cutting human heads and bringing back home the money they earned.
    37. Brethren, whoever that is speaking this way to his or her child, where is the person sending that child? Where is such a parent sending the child? Do you mean that it is not in your midst?
    38. That is why you cannot correct those children if you meet them on the way because they do not belong to you and they do not regard you as anything. Their parents have already encouraged them to live that type of life.
    39. Who are you to stop them to begin to correct them? They will even ignore you and go their way. Some will boldly say, “Please find your way. Go and correct your own children. What business have you with us? Have you put your family in order?”
    40. Boldly they will tell you that because they were empowered by their parents to join their folks. Now they have joined. Tomorrow, their parents will weep and then come out and cry wolf when they were the wolves that devoured their children.
    41. So please, I am saying that this Age we are in is an Age of the worst number of colours. This is the Age with many colours, wearing indescribable colours.
    42. Even by apparel and by what we put on, no age has produced multifarious colours of dresses more than this Age. I am telling you the truth. I am the One saying it. Go to the market, and you will see.
    43. There are certain dresses people will wear and they will look like masquerades. But that is the behaviour of the people inside this particular era called THE SON OF MAN’s generation.
    44. I knew about it before coming. I prepared Myself to redeem My own by creating enmity in their hearts against all these evil behaviours that have been adapted as a norm. Condemnable acts are now habits that are now sponsored and encouraged by everybody including governments.
    45. A situation where your government is now sponsoring “try-your-luck”, lotto and lottery of all sorts [betting and gambling]. We have the national lottery commission, owned by federal government and regulating lotteries, lotto, try-your-luck cards and so on.
    46. I mean, this is your own nation. A nation that is headed by evil people. Do you not know that all they will approve will be evil?
    47. This is a nation where the evil-minded people take pride in what they are doing, but a simple man who fears God goes into hiding, simply because when wicked people are on the prowl, righteous people go into hiding.
    48. Believe it. When evil people outnumber the righteous ones, they will take over the streets and the highways. The righteous will run into their houses.
    49. Can you not see how we are staying inside the house here, for a man does not get drowned in the river he never visited. What caused it?
    50. We have not done anything to join others. We do not even have the capacity to do what they are doing. We cannot even speak the way they speak. The spirit in us rejects all that. The LORD God whom we worship also rejects them.
    51. We have chosen this little path ordained for us. And we are satisfied with it. Finish! Finish! Although we are few in number, God does not show interest in the number.
    52. God does not show interest in the number that do not believe in Him. He shows interest in that individual – one man, one woman, one child – who has vowed a vow to cling to Christ come what may. One with God is greater than majority.
    53. So, what am I saying? Please, run for your life especially at this tail end. Find out what you are creating as jobs for yourself whether that thing was there ordained of God.
    54. If the hand of God is not there, God did not establish that thing for you. He never established it for humanity. Whoever that established it is the devil. The devil established that thing.
    55. Go and have a look at all these things that are everywhere now. Nightclubs, eateries and restaurants, and places where women dance naked and it is recorded as videos.
    56. Today, there are people who are called sexual dancers [strip dancers]. They have a club. When the musician is through with his own performance, these ladies will appear on the stage naked, and they will perform their own which is also recorded as video and sold to the entire world. Then they are paid, and they go back to where they came from.
    57. Brethren, is there anything we will not see in this generation. This will tell you that the world has come to an end. You do not talk of morality in the world again. Morality is now trampled. Spirituality has become a terminology. I say a terminology designated to fools.
    58. That is why the moment you mention this issue of serving God in this old fashion way, everybody will laugh at you. They laugh you to scorn. But I thank God that we are not for exhibition yet.
    59. We shall be exhibited once and once for all. The day of our own exhibition is fast approaching. And the world will know the real people that belong to God. They will see people they can never imagine.
    60. It will be like what happened in this Salem House. What people anticipated to see as tenants in that house was not what they saw at last. It beat their imaginations hollow. They are shocked. They are astonished. Everybody is wondering, “How can? This house?
    61. This is exactly the prototype of what is coming up. I am sure and certain that that is what will be in the Kingdom of Heaven. Rejected and despised people, but accommodated by God because of their faith in Him.
    62. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Hear Me. For they shall see God. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they shall see God. Thank you.
    63. Have you understood what it takes to be an idle mind? Devil’s workshop? It does not mean that you are not doing something meaningful. You can be doing something very meaningful to earn your living. Yet, your heart is devoid of Christ.
    64. So, you have nothing to meditate on that will prevent you from offending God, for your heart is stuffed with too many things about this present world that will keep you busy from morning till morning and even make you to pass sleepless nights.
    65. When you remember that you are going to Nkpor, while you are thinking of Nkpor, you are also thinking of Owerri Road. You are thinking of Nsugbe and everywhere. Then, you pick you phone. With your phone, you roam the whole world.
    66. Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu: That is why the LORD gave us the Message BE DILIGENT TO PROTECT YOUR MINDSET so that our minds will not process all those evil desires.
    67. Danger signal explained, Page 87 from verse 21. 21Man proposes, but God disposes. Some of us in most cases try to hideaway our plans or programmes from THE SON OF MAN… Pure truth! …believing He will not know or with the thinking that He will not approve them.
    68. 22So let us hide it away from Him and our Brethren so that we can surprise all with the Trillions we will amass after the business. That is rubbish!
    69. 23At the end of the day, the whole thing will turn out to be a colossal failure. And that which they did not want THE SON OF MAN to know, He will now know it all, for trouble must burst out of it.
    70. 32All the supernatural manifestations around Him, and the Original Body He revealed to us, what do they signify? 33They mean nothing to one that is on his way to destruction. That is pure truth!
    71. One that has been cast away from the presence of the Almighty. Sure!!! One who is a sad news and who is a burden to himself or herself. Sure!!!
    72. 36I WILL ALSO SEND EVIL SPIRIT TO TORMENT SOME, MAKE THEM MAD, VERY OBSTINATE, VERY POWERFUL OBSTINATE TRANSGRESSORS WITH STIFF-NECK THAT THEY CANNOT EVEN CHANGE AGAIN.
    73. 37But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. [1 Samuel 16:14 KJV]
    74. That is why He is the Almighty. He killeth. He maketh alive. He makes you wise. He makes you foolish, depending on where you want Him to supply you.
    75. If you think He does not know what He is doing, He will tell you that you are the most foolish human being on earth. He can make you to feed on this garbage there. He will be watching you and you will be feeding on the garbage.
    76. 49… Anybody that is advising you to act contrary to the words of the Son of Man hates you. HE HATES YOU WITH PERFECT HATRED.
    77. What if you were advised to act contrary? I mean in this one you testified a few days ago. The result would have been disastrous. You would have ended it firing your wife even outside the Local Government.
    78. That is the much we will take for today.
