DEDICATE AND RE-DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST CONTINUALLY Preached ON Sunday, 13^th April 2025 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN The LORD of Saboath & The Ramadan Voice

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

Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; ²before the decree brings forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you. ³Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger. ⁴For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up. ⁵Woe unto the inhabitants of the seacoast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. ⁶And the seacoast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. ⁷And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening : for the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.

Zephaniah 2:1-7, King James Version

¹Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; ²before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you. ³Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger. ⁴For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up. ⁵Woe unto the inhabitants of the seacoast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. ⁶And the seacoast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. ⁷And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening : for the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.

Zephaniah 2:1-7, King James Version

Now, while he is on Earth in the flesh, for his sake, the Elohim will put on flesh that they might have fellowship because it is in the midst the Church that He, I mean the He, the Sanctuary, dwells. That is why we can rightly believe that we are all sitting in heavenly places with Christ the Messiah, the Anointed One. I am coming to something.

Warnings from God (1)

I want to sound a strict warning now to all of you who are members of this Studio Fellowship.
Your membership of this Bridal Studio Fellowship does not exempt you from the general gathering of the believers every Saturday as the LORD has granted us that access into His own Courtyard.
It is a privilege. It is not our right. If He locks up His Gate and says we shall not come in, can we drag Him to court?
We were longing for a place like this. Too many Local Assemblies gather once in a month. Some gather once in three months because they do not have a place where they will assemble themselves.
The Elders of Onitsha took it upon themselves and they went to many places. They even went to the Onitsha public library, asking for a place in the open air to meet once a month.
They went to Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Nsugbe. They equally visited some hotels and their applications were turned down.
This is because Anambra State like every other state in Nigeria prohibits public gathering without order from the police.
So, there is no owner of any premises that will permit people to gather in their premises either to sing praises or to do anything without order from the police.
Otherwise, both the owner of the premises and the people that gathered must be whisked away especially now that we know the situation in the State. We do not know who is who.
People in plain dresses now arrest people indiscriminately. We do not know who they are. They operate without even introducing themselves.
They can stop you anywhere, anytime, any day, ask you to enter their vehicle without even letting the people around know where they are taking you to and who they are.
It happened last night at this Afia Oye [Oye market in Nsugbe]. A woman was taken away there last night amidst others. They simply got into the market, enquired of her, “Are you Mrs. So so and so?” and she said, “Yes. I am”. They did not say, “Close your shop.” They said, “Go and enter that vehicle.” That’s all!
Her neighbours used their phones to call the husband to come down. By then, they had already switched off the woman’s handset.
They never introduced themselves, and they never told anybody where they were taking her to. And nobody will know whether to go to the police or to army or to anywhere. This is the state where we are right now.
Two nights ago, there at Alhaji’s house adjacent to Pastor Thomas’ house, some young men were whisked away in the night. The people that whisked them away never introduced themselves. They did not tell anybody where they were taking them to.
On the roads and on the streets, you see people that covered their faces. While some carry pistols, other carry rifles like Pomp Action and some carry wooden sticks.
All we know is that the State has warned us, but they never dressed the people with any uniform by which they will be identified, and the people can hardly introduce themselves. Neither will they give the person who is their suspect any room to tell the neighbours.
They did not even have the courtesy to tell the neighbours who they were. By this now, we do not know who is who. Anybody can stop you on the way and tell you to enter the vehicle now. And any slightest resistance, they will fire your leg.
You see why you must embrace God for your security.
In spite of all these measures that have been put in place, has crime rate reduced? Crime is still on the increase. Even if you kill them because you have arrested them, you have not killed crime. Crime is still existing.
So, please walk with wisdom. God provided this place for us as our security at a time like this. He made it possible that while we are inside, nobody outside will hear what we are saying. Even if we are singing and praising, they can hardly hear it from the Gate.
Now that God has given you a place [after the toils of the day] where you will come and then sort things out with God, hear His Word and amend your ways, I would not like to see you loitering about at the backyard when Fellowship is on.
Many are blind because what they call Fellowship is a gathering maybe at GTC or Amazu Oil or when we shall hire a place outside our living places and then go out there. Then it becomes a worshipping area and God is there. God is not in your house.
If God is not in your house, anywhere you find yourself, God is not there. God does not live in your house. He lives in you. He works in you. He talks through you. He does everything through you.
If we are here – a bunch of flesh –let it be known to you that God is not here. God is here because the individuals that make up this gathering are filled with the spirit of Christ – the spirit of truth. they are possessed by God. They are God-fearing. That is where God will abide.
He cannot abide in the individual nor in the family that lacks the fear and honour of the LORD.
That is why we were handling all kinds of hypocrisies last night in that short exhortation. The things you must destroy in your life. The things you must get rid of in your life.
Look at a situation where nobody was sure that he is a candidate for the Kingdom of Heaven, but you all know you are candidates for your Fellowship venues like you have gathered here this morning.
Why are you here this morning? Are you here so that we can see our faces, shake our hands and embrace each other? If that is the reason why we gather here, of all human beings on earth, we shall be considered to be the most miserable human beings.
If you do not know the reason why you gather, please, after today, do not come again until you have the revelation of the reason why children of God gather.
It never started in your day. Even in the days of Job, children of God normally gather in their houses to worship God and to give Him praise and glory.
So, gathering of the children of God never started with you. And there is no particular place where God earmarked and said, “This is where everybody will gather.” Otherwise, worshipping God outside there means worshipping God in vain.
Tell Me that structure or that cathedral that will accommodate all the countries in the world. This is because children of God are not only in your own area. They are everywhere. You do not know them.
Those that have the fear of God in their hearts and honour Him, He has already made them acceptable in Himself. Do you know where they are? Where will you gather? Will you travel to Israel or to Malaysia or Gabon or Cameroon? Tell Me the place in the whole countries in the world.
Even if there could be a building where they shall gather in Nigeria, who is adequate to build such a house that will accommodate sons and daughters of God in their worship?
You think God is crazy? In Egypt, did He provide a Fellowship venue for them? They were worshipping God in their tents / in their houses.
And God was dwelling with them, for in every gathering of the children of God, the Pillar of Cloud forms a Canopy around that house and around the worshippers.
If you gather and God is not in your midst, the spirit of Christ is not there forming a Canopy around you. Your gathering is useless nonsense.
That was why Saint Paul was warning the Corinthians Church to be very very mindful of the way they gather and to make sure that evil men and women do not come in or infiltrate into their Camp to pollute the Camp and then render them defiled in the sight of God. why? A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
I want to see the situation where Pastor will be courageous enough to excommunicate himself before excommunicating others from the Fellowship of the Saints.
The pastor must take the lead, put himself outside the Fellowship of the Saints until his heart is right and until his spirit comes back into him.
And that was who God used in the beginning. By prophecy, He put away our Pastor that time, Okechukwu Nwamkpa to go and purge himself for seven days, for it is God’s power among His people.
You do not pastor the children of God in your wicked estate. You do not try it. You must be sure that you are spirit-filled before you begin to think of helping the children of God.
The days are over when we just come to the pulpit and then play pranks. While you will be there, too many things will be bothering your mind. You mouth will be saying one thing and your attitude in the pulpit will be reflecting another thing.
That is making a mess of yourself. Is there any hypocrisy greater than that? And by so doing, everybody will borrow a cue from you. So it is with other elders. And so it is with all of us here.
Any day you are not led to come to Fellowship, stay in your house. Let that guilt of staying away from the Fellowship be on you and on you alone.
It is better you absent yourself from the Fellowship bodily and spiritually than to be in the Fellowship bodily but spiritually absent.
Who and who can God mark present in the Fellowship? Only those that have come in spirit and in truth, who are focused, who do not have divergent views or opinions or ideas that distract them.Not only when you are worshipping God, but even after.
The reason why the Message you hear – the truth you hear do not abide in you is because immediately you leave or we say we have dismissed from the Assembly, the Word vanishes from your mind.
Then you will import into your life all your life activities. Then you wait for another opportunity when you will be privileged to come before God.That does not make you a good worshipper. In short, it makes you a Pharisee.
But if you are a Seed of God or a true worshipper, you are all-round worshipper. it does not have allotted hour. 24 hours of the day, a true seed of God is always in the worship of God.
even if you do not make noise, your heart is always lifted up. your spirit isalways lifted up. the love of God in you will always lift you up.
you would not have room to begin to ruminate into worldly activities which you know you cannot grapple with.
Attempting to change a situation you cannot change, what does it bring? That is an attempt in futility. There are certain situations you cannot alter.
Once you come into contact with such situation, what will you do? Adjust yourself and accommodate it anyhow, and begin to pray to God as well. He will show you the way out, forthere is no place where god has made a permanent place for you if not in the holy spirit.
Let the holy spirit of God be at home and at peace in you. If the Word of God has found its home in you, you will be at peace with yourself. You will be at peace with everybody.
Let us be very very careful. Oftentimes, what we are professing differ from what we are manifesting. Our manifestations run contrary to our professions of our Faith.
Maybe, we are showcasing academic knowledge or academic intelligence we have gathered through the revelation of the son of man.
THE SON OF MAN has never showcased anything other than Christ dwelling in Him. That is why I boldly make it clear that the life I NOW LIVE is not My life but Christ WHO LIVES in Me. and God has been vindicating and confirming it everyday.
Search yourself and try yourself first before you can say, “God search me and try me.”
Do you not know who you are? Do you not know what is bubbling in you? Do you not know what is distracting you? DOyou not know your ways? Can you not scale yourself with the Word of God? can you not scale your obedience to know whether it is fulfilled or unfulfilled?
We had better stop parading ourselves as sons and daughters of God until we begin to manifest Christ. Otherwise, we are counterfeits.
We heard it even last night where God was warning right from 2011 concerning those counterfeits who are numerous in our midst.
Imagine a situation where you will come here on a Saturday only to be jesting and chatting. If you want to jest and you want to chat and kiss and this and that with your brother or with your sister and the Saints, they are all okay.
I do not say no, but you will come ahead of time. And then, you can play your rock ‘n’ roll at the backyard, at the kitchen and so on, but not using Fellowship hour to be jesting and talking and making a hell of noise, thereby making mockery of the gathering of the Saints.
If we slated our time to be 4pm, it is 4pm. If we say it is 5pm, it is 5pm. Then, we can dismiss anytime. Whenever the Spirit is through with us, anybody can notice it.
It is not when you say you are coming to the gathering of the Saints or you want to go and worship with the Brethren, you convert it into another thing. Things you could have done before the time, you will use the time for the Fellowship of the Saints with God to be doing it.
Anybody who accommodates it is hardening you in evil. If you do not check it, a time is coming when hardening insensitivity will becloud and possess you so much that you will even forget yourself.
Am I making Myself clear. Anybody can come from outside and misbehave that way but not somebody from this Studio Fellowship. It does not exclude you from our general Fellowship which we are attending by privilege.
Remember, any moment from now, rainy season will set in.And once it sets in, the Fellowship may come to an end.Whatever you gathered within the period of the Fellowship during the dry season will sustain you during the rainy season where many will not have that opportunity to come again.
Ony a few that will be privileged to be here can see the face of THE SON OF MAN and join Me in Fellowship. And that is, if I permit you to do it.Do not cause Me to dismiss this Fellowship.
I remember there was a time we were only three here. Yet, we were nurturing the whole world. Three persons here before we became four.
And let it not come into your mind that you are here because maybe the son of man wants people that will be in Fellowship with Him. No! I do not need you. You have misinterpreted it. You have missed it all.
That you are permitted to be here isin your best interest. You are not serving the interest of the son of man. Neither are you serving the interest of the Pastor or anybody.
It is in your best interest because you could not havebeen better than what you are here if you had remained on your own there.
If by now, you cannot make a comparison between where you were and changes that have taken place in you since you were given the privilege to worship with us here– if the changes are not explicit in your life, be it known to you that you aRe in Satan’s eden, and you know it not.The glamour of iniquity has already taken you off course.
There are too many people that are wishing and praying earnestly that they should be given the opportunity you have where they will be nourished every minute of the day with the Word of God.
Nobody comes here to dance. The moment you come in here, you must be exhorted with the Word of God.There is no way you can stay here and leave this place if you come believing God, prayed before coming, you can never leave this place without gathering a statementthat will sustain you for that week.
Many that avoid this place, go and look at them. They avoid the gathering of the Saints. A good number of them, even during Fellowship days spend the fellowship days in the prison yard and some in the police cell. That is the day they will commit crime that will shatter their family and shatter their future.
This morning, we called one over the phone. He admitted his foolishness, but he cannot have a defense. And these are the people that are desirous of eternal life, but the price, they cannot pay.
Everybody is desiring heaven and desiring eternal life, but how many are willing to pay the price? How many are willing to pay the price the Saints paid? We sing it in our song because it is very sweet.
SONG: [I paid the price, whatever others paid. I follow the Way with the LORD’s despised few. I am going on my Saviour. I am going on.]
Are you going on? How ready are you to pay the price others paid? I mean, to gain that good report.
In short, permit Me before you read the Sunday School Message this morning, get Hebrews 11. Let the pastor take the clearest Bible he can read very fluently and read Hebrews 11 from verse 1 to the end.
Maybe, somebody will catch something there. If your favourite is Amplified version, another person should get the Living Bible because I want a clearer understanding. I do not want the grammatical representations only.

Note it. I am using these illustrations to confirm the Message. Your days are numbered. Your days are numbered. Whatever that has a beginning must have an end. I am the One that placed all of you in the waiting condition. I told you to wait: “This is where you will wait.” I have brought you where He said I should bring you and then ask you to wait for further instruction. ……. If you do not know where we are, better know it now. We are talking about the Resurrected Body. I believe that it is the same Resurrected body that is still in our midst, talking to us and giving us the Word of life.

THE SON OF MAN

KNOWING YOUR STATUS IN CHRIST; Preached on Sunday 9^th September 2010 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 39 vs. 47 & Pg. 62 vs. 2

Warnings from God (2)

He is reading. We are paying attention. He that pays attention to the Word that comes out gains more than the reader. The reader will only gain when he sits back after his reading to study what he read.
But to you and I who are giving listening ear to what he is reading, will gain more, for the Word comes to us directly. And then, we use what we are hearing to weigh ourselves to know where we belong to.
There is a price to pay in everything in this life. We were not only called to come and enjoy life with Christ. We were equally called to come and suffer with Him. Is it not the price to pay?
There are so many things you deny yourself. You cannot carry the whole world on your head and in your hearts and then come and convince Me here that you are desirous of heaven. can you serve two masters at the same time?
Place the world where the world belongs and place Paradise where Paradise belongs.
It is not for silly people. It is for people that are meticulous; people that discipline themselves; people that are straightforward and transparent in their dealing with all mankind and with God as well; people that tell themselves the truth;People that can drag themselves to court,advocate for themselves, judge themselves and condemn themselves.
If you have not started dragging yourself to court [the conscience court], you have not started worshipping God. do you not have a living conscience?
If your conscience cannot convict you of evil [of sin] when you are misbehaving, disregarding the truth you are receiving, becoming indifferent to the Word of God on a daily basis, let Me tell you the truth whether you want to believe it or not.
Without this gathering where you are, a good number of you may not even have the opportunity to even open the Bible once in a month. you may not even have the time to read even the sermon books.
But you have time for your activities. You have time for your kitchen. You have time for visitations that are useless – unprofitable visitations. You have time for eating and drinking that is endless.
Are we here to eat and to drink? Is that the essence why we are here. No! Be it known to you that the Kingdom of God is not bread, butter and honey. It is not milk. It is not egg. It is not cucumber. It is not garlic and onion. The Kingdom of God is not salad. Neither is it jollof rice.
Rather, the Kingdom of God will deny you ofthose things that charm you most and introduce you to the bitter side of life where truth lives.
No truth has a pleasurable ride in the heart of man. I repeat. No truth has a pleasurable ride [easy ride] in the heart of man. No truth penetrates a man’s heart very easily, for man by nature is obstinate and unyielding to the truth, unbending, stiff-necked, hard-hearted, believing himself without believing God.That is what man is known for. Always striving to have his way in everything.
Is it not the reason why law enforcement agents are now everywhere, arresting people that want to have their ways above the law, above the constitution and above the government. Such people must be called to order. And that is what the State is doing.
Somebody was complaining bitterly when we attended a meeting of landlords. I said, “My dear, if you are sincere to your conscience, you will approve of what the State is saying. The governor is not saying that you should not have tenants. He said, “You must know who your tenants are. Know their occupations and means of livelihood.””
Anybody who does not have a visible and viable means of livelihood [I mean] should be interrogated.
I know that there are many means of livelihood today that are not visible. They are viable. They are not illegal, not any time you see somebody in a computer, you think he is doing yahoo [advance fee fraud or 419]. No! There are too many businesses you can conduct online without paying one kobo as rent in a shop.
But you have to explain it to the understanding of the authorities because you are not the only one in that business. Somebody taught you the business.
If that is what you are doing, government is not saying no. Come and explain yourself to their understanding.
So, what am I saying in effect? In everything in this life, there is a price to pay. The LORD Jesus Christ never painted a rosy picture of the road to Heaven. Did He say it is a rosy road that is flowing with milk and honey?
He told you that you are going to see troubles, persecutions, cruel misunderstandings. You will suffer deprivations. You will suffer hardship. It may come to a point where your life will be at stake.
That is why He said that whoever that is trying to save His life will lose it, but he that has volunteered his life for My sake will get it ten folds.
REFERENCES:[1] Matthew 5:10-12, KJV. ¹⁰Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. ¹²Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
[2]Matthew 10:17-18, KJV. ¹⁷But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; ¹⁸and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
[3] Matthew 11:34-39, KJV.³⁴Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. ³⁶And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. ³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. ³⁸And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
[4] Matthew 16:24-26, KJV.²⁴Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ²⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. ²⁶For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
[5]Matthew 19:27-30, TLB.^[27]Then Peter said to him, “We left everything to follow you. What will we get out of it?” ^[28]And Jesus replied, “When I, the Messiah, shall sit upon my glorious throne in the Kingdom, you my disciples shall certainly sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ^[29]And anyone who gives up his home, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or property, to follow me, shall receive a hundred times as much in return, and shall have eternal life.
Be very very careful that when you are being buffeted about, it is not because you are an evil doer. If you are an evil doer, you must be embarrassed and buffeted about, and in there is no glory.
But when you are buffeted about and troubled for righteousness’ sake, for the sake of doing good, believing God, obeying the Faith,obeying God, having respect for fellow human beings, honour for God and respect for human beings and living right, nobody will embarrass you.
After all, the Scripture is there. Law enforcement agents and police men, they are Ministers of God sent by the State to arrest evil people, but good people rejoice. They are friends of good people, but they are enemies to bad people. All they need is explanation from you. No more. No less.
But there are too many people today who cannot stand up and tell who they are. They cannot say what they are doing to earn a living, but they live big, lavish lives, eat sumptuous food and go with exotic vehicles, but they cannot take anybody along the line of what they are doing to succeed.
So, that is what the government is all after. We want to know who you are. That is all! Tell us who you are and what you are doing. Then if they are satisfied with you, there is no cause for alarm. So, wherever you see them and they ask you to stop, stop there. Entertain their questions.
Be polite. Be respectful. Recognize them as law enforcement agents serving the State. And that State is where you belong to. The Bible said we should pray for those that are in authority over us, the government and the authorities so that we shall live in peace.

There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. ^[2]So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. ^[3]For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. ^[4]The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose. ^[5]Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should.

If there is no peace in the State, can we worship God? We worship God because there is peace – relative peace for now. If everywhere is in chaos, you will not have a place you can kneel down and pray.
And God has provided a place like this for all of us. If we begin to mess it up and treat it with contempt with utter disregard to Who owns the premises, Who arranged it for us when we could not get a place, He made a provision for us, and we are not paying a dime to Him.
In all those places we went, they first of all told us the amount of money we shall pay for few hours on a monthly basis o – once a month, but you have a place God has given to you wider than your Fellowship Hall and wider than your own family hall.
I do not care about the space in your family. You cannot equate it to the space you have in My compound. I do not care about the facilities you may claim you have. You cannot equate it with the facilities you have in My compound. You cannot equate the peace you enjoy there with the peace you enjoy here. It is only in this place that you have a sense of belonging.
In your family, do you have rest? Do your children offer you rest? Do your husbands offer you rest? Do your wives offer you rest? When you get to your home it becomes a civil war. You begin to entertain useless phone calls from here and there.
And these useless phone calls hinder people from coming to Fellowship. Whole family can absent themselves consecutively from the gathering of the Saints, and they think it is a light thing.
Even the Scriptures noted it in Hebrews 10, “Never absent yourself from the gathering of the Saints as is the manner of some.”
REFERENCE: Hebrews 10:25, KJV. not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
William Branham said, “Any day a Seed of God or one that calls himself a child of God begins to absent himself or herself from the gathering of the children of God and feels very much free at home either watching television or doing some family chores, know of a surety that the devil brought that person into your midst to fulfill that Scripture that said, “Do not forsake the gathering of the Saints as is the manner of some”.”
But there are some that will come with their flesh. Their spirit is not there. They just come to fulfill formalities. That one who did not come at all is better preferred to the one that is fulfilling normal formality – Life as usual. Every Saturday, we will come.
Some will even come because they know that occasionally drinks will come out and food will come out like we were entertained yesterday after Fellowship by Sister Egbuna and family.
Some might be thinking that it is a regular occurrence. I knew they will be scanty yesterday because there was no message sent telling them to come that a goat will be killed and yam pottage will be there.
There is no food which God said we should desire if not the one THE SON OF MAN gives. If there be any other food, please any day you see it in the Scriptures in the Bible or the Holy Qur’an or in any ancient document, bring it to My notice.
There is only but one food which God said we should strive for. Strive earnestly to get it.
It is not the one that is being prepared there by Sister Faith Agbom. No! You will eat it, and you will still perish. You eat it and your sin still abideth in you. You will even eat it in unbelief without noticing it.
It will harden you in iniquity. That is where the glamour comes. After eating and drinking, the next thing will be dancing. You forget yourself. The Word of God becomes a secondary affair.
I am sounding a warning. Let others indulge in that mess. Do not join them. You are a peculiar people. You are God’s own purchased possession. If you do not know who you are, let Me just mention it now.
You are a peculiar people, a chosen people by God Himself, consecrated, set apart for Himself that you should manifest the glory of God who called you to be members of His own very family.
It is not because you merited it, but it is His own mercy and His compassion towards you that made him to release that grace. That grace is unmerited favour. If you abuse this grace, I bet you, you will never see it throughout your lifetime again. Once you miss it, you have missed it all.Detach yourself from this truth and then proceed to hell.
To some of you who are here, with evil reports following you, even members of our family drawn from many states who were with us for almost three weeks now, went home with your evil reports.
Is is not a shameful thing that one who is instructed to do right, instructed in the truth will betray the whole Assembly of God’s children before people that came from outside to learn from them?
The people came to learn from you, but they noticed that you are empty. Completely empty! You have nothing to offer than foolishness.
The people that came to learn from you started correcting you. They started indicting you and rebuking you. And you could not amend your ways until they went back to their stations with your evil reports following you.
When they will get home, the testimony will be the type of human beings they met in the son of man’s house – unrepentant human beings! Miniature human beings! Adults for that matter! Shall we put our hands together for you that you have represented us very well?
We went for the birthday celebration, and FearGod humiliated himself there. He thought he was humiliating us, but he humiliated himself.
Everybody went home with him, “FearGod. FearGod”. Some were asking, “Who could be the father of this idiot of a young man?”They said, “Deacon Okechukwu John of Isiala-Ngwa.”
I heard a statement credited to one at the backyard, “Nobody good can come from Isiala-Ngwa. It is like all of them behave alike.” Look at you! A youth with hairs on your chest, adult behaving like a two-day-old baby.
We do not talk about the son of Elijoe, Okwuchukwu who was born evil and has remained evil, and has manifested evil without even controlling himself one bit. He sold off his integrity.
Tell Me. If they will meet you on the way or somewhere outside this place, how they will rate you.

Anybody that is running away from the Cloud, where do you think that he is heading to? He is heading to eternal destruction because he is fleeing from the presence of the Lord. You see why I brag so much? This is My Authority where I stand and command you to get out if I wish. This is why I do not beg any flesh because I know, whether you like it or not, every flesh must come to Me; every tongue must confess that I am He. This is why I do not beg you to stay. If I excommunicate you, I do not come to you. This is because I know I can do without you, but you can never do without Me. If you leave My presence, you are doomed. I have decided to come this way to you to help you for the last time.

THE SON OF MAN

FOLLOW THE CLOUD (EVIDENCE THAT THE SON OF MAN IS THE ELOHIM) VOL. 1; Preached in the cool of the evening of Tuesday 12^th September 2003 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 109 vs. 14 – 16

WARNINGS FROM GOD (3)

To all of you here, I owe you “Thank you”, not a big thank you. You tried to represent the Studio, but not in the way I expected from you.
I did not want to talk to you openly before the visitors, lest I disgrace you, but a good number of you here manifested great shortcomings, even beyond My imagination, and I called it complete sell-out. A complete sell-out!
I wanted to see a situation where your virtue, your knowledge, your faith, your temperance and everything would have been imparted into others that came from afar, but the only thing you could impart was eating, drinking and merriment, as if that is what life entails.
Everything is jumping from one street to another and from one market to another. Sightseeing.
I was wondering within Myself, “Can this be all you know and all you can manifest?”When you were watching Me, you could not see Me step out. If I ever stepped out, it was just occasionally. And hurriedly I came back.
Let Me say that in all, you have learnt your lessons never to influence people that come to you wrongly. Your life is a big influence.
When we came to the hall where we celebrated the son of man’s birthday, you were called out as outstanding worshippers, worshipping at the feet of the Almighty God in His own Household – the people He chose for Himself. And you thrilled everybody with melodious songs. Everybody was spiritually uplifted. After that, what next.
I am saying that today marks the end of the celebration. If there be anybody that is still living with that celebration spirit– if there be anybody who is still harbouring it after today, I will not only talk to you. I know what I will do.
Whatever has a beginning must have an end. Since the last people that came to celebrate it and then spend their few weeks holidays with Me have left this morning, that goes to show that the celebration has come to an end. Life and life activities resumes immediately in earnest.
Anybody hiding under anything or anybody to perpetrate injustice will not be overlooked. I overlooked some of you because I did not want to offend you before My children, lest they will ridicule you in My absence. I did not want to over-expose you.
That did not mean I was not giving you warning from time to time. And that warning was not enough. I knew what I could have done, but I refrained from it, because we are all human beings and so that you can have a little protection over your ego, but over-protection of self-ego is unbelief.
Over-protection of self-ego is unbelief. Thatmeans that it is sin. It is sinful.
And that is what is bringing about all these useless manifestations you are seeing in both FearGod and Elijoe’s son – Okwuchukwu. They think that they have become youths. They think they have arrived.
The same is applicable to all of you. The next thing will be that you will become untouchables. You become incorrigible. And that will not be in My house.
If I see any type of that stubborn spirit, any spirit of insubordination among you here, heaven bear Me witness, I will disband this Fellowship, and then having it alone, as I used to alone. I would not spare any.
When God wanted to punish, He punished both the Prophets and the Priests and the laity. He never sparedany.
I know there are people here who are praying that it should happen so that they will have their rest.
Anyday it becomes troublesome to you to step out to go and worship God in Shiloh, know that you are totally in the region of the lost.
Any day it becomes cumbersome, it becomes worrisome, a disturbance you can no longer tolerate, and you prefer sleeping in the bed even without taking your bath from morning till evening, you eat and drink and remain dirty– any day you prefer that dirty life, that useless life to stepping out to Salem City where the King of Salem lives, to step your feet into Shiloh where the presence of God is established, know that you are lost.
And a drowning person cannot drown without holding onto something with his hand. A drowning person – one that has made up his mind to get drowned – will like to hold unto somebody he will pull along.
It takes a useless swimmer to volunteer his life to save such a fellow, helping somebody to climb the ladder when he is not willing to climb that ladder. That means breaking your bone. The ladder will collapse on you.
Before you help somebody spiritually or physically, find out the willingness of that person to accept your help. Otherwise, you are offering help to one who does not need your help.
I believe we need God’s help to succeed especially in the hour we are in when there is overspreading of evil. At this time of overspreading of evil, sons and daughters of God should shine like beacon lights because you are a torchlight that flashes in darkness.
In thick darkness, a spark of candle light makes a total difference. Do you not know that gross darkness has covered the world.
Do you not know that the god of this evil Age has blinded the hearts and minds of everybody that they now desire fun instead of striving to please God? Who is willing to live right again?
Can you not see societal pressure on everybody? Can you not see the folly of sophistication? Can you not see the folly of socialization?
We now have a situation where a stark illiterate will stay at home and master the operational system of every handset. What do you want Me to say again?
Tell Me any facet of life where you can see truth since truth is void here on earth. If you have not noticed it, it is because you are a part of the evil in the society.
The world we are living in, as I am talking to you this morning, is destitute of truth. Truth is not found anywhere again. We have rolled into the period prophesied by Prophet Amos when we are not having only famine of food and drink. We are also having famine of the Word of God which is truth unadulterated.
You will hear social gospel. Social gospel that will point you to earthly things, materialism and things like that, for which cause those worshippers indulged in all forms of evil practices without restraint because they are being empowered by their evil-minded ministers and so-called pastors.
Get-rich-quick syndrome in Nigeria has grabbed almost everybody. There is insincerity in every heart. No matter whatever that is committed into anybody’s hands due to trust, watch that person. With time, the trust will be abused. Am I making sense at all?
Who do you trust in an era like this? Which means Iblis [Satan] has taken possession of the whole world fully.
It is only at this point in time that God has singled out that hand-picked minority, chosen and selected by election of grace. And that is why there is hope for the Elect of God worldwide.
Do not jump up because you saw respondents from Israel numbering more than 12,000. Do you know the population of Israel? You see Nigeria. Do you know the population of Nigeria? If that figure is removed from Nigeria, will it be noticeable?
Look at you that are here because you do not know who you are, where you are drawn from, where you are and why you are here. In your own community, how many of them know this truth? How many can you run to [I mean] and say, “Please, help me to know God.”
Tell Me. In your community and in your own father’s family, how many of you are serving God? Do you know that they are gradually becoming tired of going to church? I say that people have become tired of going to church.
That is why the youth, both male and female now embrace idols fully. And they are proud of it. This is because they have not seen any righteousness manifest from church-goers and those people that go to church are the greatest evil people in the world today together with their leaders.
You see why I am hated? I must be hated for My stand at a time like this. This was Noah’s stand. When the entire world was groping in abject darkness and spiritual poverty, there was widespread evil and overspreading of evil in Noah’s day. Noah found favour in the sight of God with his family of faith.
Why? He said that he will never be a part of the overspreading of evil. Evil will not be mentioned in his family even once. He dissociated himself from the crowd – from the multitude. They called him a mad man, but he obtained favour from God.
God said, “Only you and your family have I found righteous in your generation.” Can you imagine? In a generation, only a family was found righteous, doing the will of God, having the fear of God.
And as it was in Noah’s day, as it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the days of THE SON OF MAN when the son of man shall be revealed.
Has THE SON OF MAN not been revealed? Is He still in hiding? Are we no longer living in His days? Do you not know that it takes a family again, for what God did in time past, that He will repeat again.
He [the LORD] said, “I will not depend on My family alone. I will co-opt My friends and My well-wishers as many as will be privileged to follow Me.”
I think that is not a crime. If it is a crime, you are the criminal. If it isa crime, you are the very criminal. That a friend laid down His life for a fellow friend that he might be saved, expecting nothing in return, only that He does not want His friend to face the everlasting penalty in hellfire.
Common prison yard is making people to faint. Common torture room is making people to faint. Your fellow man torturing you. Begin to see what your condition will be when the Almighty God will begin to torture you in everlasting chain in hell where there will be no bailout and no ending of days.
If the fear of God cannot make you to live right with God and with your fellow human beings, know of a surety that the day you were born was a cursed day.
Anybody that hears the Voice of the son of man, approves it to be true and divinely oriented and walks away from His presence, without using those words to address his faults, the day that person came into this world was a cursed day.
This is the last opportunity, for the last opportunity man has in this generation remains THE SON OF MAN. – the Last grace.
MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY, YOU HAVE MISSED IT FOREVER. MISS THIS LAST GRACE THAT IS BEING OFFERED YOU FREELY, YOU MISS IT FOREVER, FOR I AM THE LAST HOPE FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE FOUND.
And you want Me to believe that you are wiser than those nations that have embraced this truth in the websites, for which cause they are surging there. You want Me to believe that you do not know the personality that is revealed. You want Me to believe that those photographs were deceitful to them.
They can be alien to you in Nigeria, but are they alien to the Jews? The Arabs? The Indians? The Russians? The Ethiopians? The Kenyans? Are they alien to America?
Anybody can be blind over supernatural things, supernatural manifestations and how they can be verified but not those advanced countries. Not even the Jews that claim God as their own birthright. Can you know Him more than the Jews. From the day He left them did they not know that He left and went to the despised of the Gentiles.
And now, He has remembered them again. He has brought them together – Jews and Gentiles in His own Church which is the Invisible Union.
Have they [Jews] not recognized Him again? They are regretting having pierced Him with sorrows and pains because they misunderstood Him.
This is the Last Move. This is the Last Sign. I am born to celebrate today with you, and I may not celebrate it again the way I did. If I will celebrate it in that way again, no place will accommodate us. So, the next celebration will be in Paradise. Thank you.
We must read Hebrews 11. Let us see the records that are kept. Use the contents to re-examine yourselves. What level of sacrifice have you made since you came into this Faith so that God will recognize you as a worshipper not as a churchgoer?
May God never recognize Me as a follower. May He recognize Me as His worshipper. Many will stop at being followers – disciples, while a few will end being worshippers.
God shows interest in the worshippers, for the followers are the mixed multitudes. Anybody can be a follower. The disciples are mixed multitudes.
Anybody can be a disciple, but the worshippers– the worshippers– They are the self-sacrificing individuals that swore their oath of allegiance before the Almighty God that,come rain come sunshine, they have sworn their oath of allegiance to Him, and there is no going back.
These are the people that God recognize as the true worshippers, and they worship in spirit and in truth, not by eye-service. No! Not mechanically worshipping God by observing man-made rules and regulations, jumping up and down, making a hell of noise.
It takes an empty barrel to make a great noise. When a barrel is filled to the brim with water, the noise stops.
Thank you!

I am building the Church on a firm foundation because I am a Master Builder. If you do not teach them, do not blame them. I believe in having My soldiers solidly grounded. I do not believe in having casualties in the war front. No. I do not bread half-baked soldiers.

THE SON OF MAN

HAVING THE ZEAL OF GOD NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE; Preached on Sunday 7^th August 1994 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 3

Who is your example?

Hebrews 11:1-40, TLB. ^[1]What is Faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. …

Confident assurance! Are you confident? Are you having that assurance that, come what may, you will stay through to your vow and to your pledge before God till the end.
Are you confident that not even life nor death will separate you from the love of God? Are you confident that in the end, you will never regret worshipping God?
Nobody has ever regretted worshipping God in spirit and in truth. Rather, people have lived to regret their hypocrisies, for their hypocrisies which they manifested hindered them from getting the reward.
When your obedience to the Word of God is fulfilled, you must obtain the promise.
Are you confident? Do you have that confident assurance that your obedience must be fulfilled and you must get that reward – that promise?
That is what Faith is all about. Faith that is exercised on God’s promise which can never fail, come what may. Though it tarries, I will wait. It must come to pass. It will never be overdue by a single hour.
It shall be one day known unto the LORD, and I anchor My faith there that He is the same yesterday, today and forever, and has never disappointed anybody that worshipped Him rightly, put his trust and confidence in Him, and He will not start disappointing with Me.
He will not start disappointing people with Me. People disappoint themselves by living hypocritical lives, claiming to be worshippers when they are mere followers.
In the end, you want a reward meant for worshippers. Are you a worshipper? Have you for one day worshipped God in spirit and in truth? Have you for one day entered into covenant with God?
We heard it last night. Have you established a covenant with God? Have you at any time, something you will remember and you run away from evil, run away from unbelief and run away from anything that will bring you into enmity with God?
Have you come to that point where you can stand up and say, “There is an All-seeing eye watching Me? I cannot try this for His name’s sake”? Can the fear of God in you restrain you from any evil? Can it restrain you from evil thoughts that lead to evil actions? Heb 11 vs 1 – 40 TLB
^[1]What is Faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.
^[2]Men of God in days of old were famous for their faith. … They were not famous for their wealth. They were not famous because of their marriage and of how many wives they married and how many children they had. They were never famous because of the mansions they built.
They were famous because of what? Their Faith in Christ firmly established, which they upheld even unto death. Even in the face of opposition, they never compromised their faith. They maintained a non-compromise stand. God supported them, and they are our pioneers.
^[3]By faith—by believing God—we know that the world and the stars—in fact, all things—were made at God’s command; and that they were all made from things that can’t be seen.
^[4]It was by faith that Abel obeyed God and brought an offering that pleased God more than Cain’s offering did. Faith!
That your name is Faith does not mean you have faith. You can have your faith without having the faith of Christ. You can answer Innocent when you are guilty. The same way you can answer Wisdom when you are foolish. You can answer Charity when you are stingy.
… God accepted Abel and proved it by accepting his gift; and though Abel is long dead, we can still learn lessons from him about trusting God.
Although Abel is dead, we still have lessons to learn from his faith which he exercised even unto death. Any lesson to learn from the dead? The answer is yes.
Nzubechi is dead, and God is still looking forward to seeing a Sister that will be shrouded by the Pillar of Cloud during the worship service amidst the Congregation of the Saints.
Nzubechi is living in the Cave of Treasures. Are you not living here on earth? Do you want to tell Me that if you behave the way she behaved towards God and towards your fellow human beings, and have the same faith exercised the same way she did, that God will not confirm your faith amidst witnesses?
Have you ever for one day tried to learn from her? Even when you hear her testimonies, do you believe any to be true?
Is there any of you here that could boast of living a life of prayer like her? Praying for yourself, praying for your children, praying for your husband, praying for your Pastors and Ministers, praying for your husband who is a Minister to succeed, praying for Brethren everywhere and praying for the success of the Faith and carrying the faith upon her shoulders.
And that is why you see this place as the rallying place for the Brethren in spite of her absence. Why are people still enjoying the fruits of her kitchen in spite of her absence? Is it not enough legacy? Is it not enough legacy? Is it not worthy of emulation?
Watch Abel the righteous. The Scripture is using him to challenge you and I. I have faith. I have faith. Where is the evidence of your faith?
You cannot be holding the Faith of Christ and your mouth is filled with lying, and your life is filled with falsehood and deceit, with everything about you depicting evil – unbelief.
I believe 1 John 3:9. Let us read it in another translation. Get Me Amplified version and Living Bible and read it there.
1 John 3:9, TLB. The person who has been born into God’s Family does not make a practice of sinning because now God’s life is in him; so he can’t keep on sinning, for this new life has been born into him and controls him—he has been born again. Amen!
The person who has been born into God’s Family does not make a practice of sinning because now God’s life is in him; so he can’t keep on sinning, for this new life has been born into him and controls him—he has been born again. Thank you!
How dare you say that you are a seed of God born into God’s Family, you are in God’s own Household, a member of God’s own Family, and you are making a practice of sin everyday? You keep on sinning, thinking that “I am sorry” will wipe away your sin.
“I am sorry” has nothing to do with your sin. You must repent and be converted, and begin to live a new life that is in Christ because Christ is now living in you.
When the living Christ is living in a living body, that body becomes a holy body unto God. Sin vanishes. “I am sorry” vanishes. Why are you saying “I am sorry” when you do not mean it.
Everyday, the same old life and old story and old rebuke, and then you claim you are in God’s Family, you are a child of God and you are going to Heaven. Which heaven? Which heaven?
You do not know that God is of a purer eyes than to behold iniquity and that nothing defiled can ever enter Paradise. Is it not the reason why He is taking His time to filter out all the chaff from the wheat, for the shuck can never be heir with the wheat? Every chaff must be blown out.
God’s hand is already resting upon the world for judgment. The judgment that started in 2019 is still on. And then you who refuse to adhere to His Word, instead of getting your justification in 2018, you refused to change and repent.
And then, you still have a spill over. God spilled you over into 2019. You are now being judged together with the heathens. Is it not a shameful thing?
These are people who were given a pleasurable ride into Paradise where nobody will stop them to query them because of the faith they have exercised in the Word of God which is Man– which is Man in their midst.
Then it brought you into judgment. You will be standing before the son of man in judgment together with the world. What a shameful thing?
And then the few of you that were selected, handpicked and removed from the general Assembly to see whether He can filter out at least one or two.
Yet, indifference to the Word of God is still being manifested. You give more attention to carnal duties and less attention to the things of God.
And you read in your Bible that you should have your affection over the things of the world as much as a dead man will have. How much affection– How much love– How much desire does a dead man express over material possession. Only thou knoweth.
One day, you will close your eyes in death. You have been attending funeral services for others, singing praises and organizing it. One day, it will be your turn.
The living will gather around you when you will be motionless. Your breathing will stop and your eyes closed, with your face upwards. You will never remember anything around you. You would not have enemy. You would not have friends. It will be one way.
Then, let us know what will become of all those things that distracted your attention. Tell Me what you have that will not fade away. Is it the fashion of this world that is fading every week?
I thank God that I saw hell coming, and I beat the devil hollow. When hell wanted to come to enslave us using the women’s hair, I made haste and overtook the devil, and approved the one they will use.
This is because I know who they are. Sons and daughters of Jared who are easily influenced by worldly dressing, worldly language and worldly fashion.
I made haste, overtook the devil and approved the one I know, if they will obey, but how many obeyed it?
The devil came again using psychedelic fashion that fade away. I overtook him again and approved one for you. That one I approved has now been abused. You can see what they are flying about. Was it what I approved?
This is to show you that from the beginning, not even one repented. Even some mothers joined. And that is if they are not the originators.
I give God the praise and glory, for I have never shunned from declaring the whole truth to you. Do you not know that it is at that time when God begins to approve those social social things that are not worth anything that virtue will tell one what to do?
As for virtuous women, even if you dash [freely give] them that fashion, they will say no and tell you that they are satisfied because they have stabilized their faith. Virtuous Sisters, virtuous mothers, virtuous Brothers can never be a part of this wild profligacy.
And women cannot ask themselves this question, “Why is the son of man approving these things for us and never approved anything for the men?”
Reference: BE CONSCIOUS OF THE HOUR YOU ARE LIVING IN, Preached on Sunday, 3rd December, 2017; Pg. 102 vs. 13– 15.¹³Any day THE SON OF MAN begins to approve for you things that run contrary to teaching, that will make you to compete with the world, THE SON OF MAN has already rejected you. He has started giving you your heart’s desire.¹⁴Any day I begin to give you authority to absent yourself from the fellowship of the Saints or to do something that is against the doctrines of Christ that we have received, which God has confirmed to be true, and you begin to rejoice, “Daddy has approved it. I told Him. he approved it”, He has already discarded you. ¹⁵When God discards a man or a woman, He begins to dance to the tunes of the person’s desire. That is why, if you are in the hand of God and you come before a man of God, you bind Him with an oath to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth. But where He discerns that you are making a mockery of His Words, He will be dancing to your tune.
Men have remained where I kept them. They have never been My headache. Women have always been busy copying the fashions of this world that fade away into nullity.
It has come to a point where if anybody does not have money to buy one so as to join others, she would not mind going into prostitution provided she wears one to look like others.
They do not wear it because they love it or because it gives them a better shape. It does not beautify you. It is completely artificial. Would you not remove it.
If what makes you attractive before people is your dress, will you not take your bath? Will you not remove it? If you do not remove it when you are alive, death will remove it.
How many years will it reign and become obsolete and outdated? Is this the only fashion we have seen before? Fashions come and go.
This is what the devil is manufacturing on a daily basis to deceive the minds of the simple-minded ones who desire pleasure more than virtue, who desire social life more than spirituality.
Those who are spiritual have already stabilized themselves. They are not easily influenced. You see mothers tying their wrapper, wearing the overflowing gowns, overflowing skirt and blouse, for thereunto, they know they are ordained.
But you watch, silly ones will try to babify their faces and babify their bodies. Some will even go about wearing the dresses meant for their grandchildren. You do not know where to classify them. And they are not ashamed of parading themselves even before the general public.
I thank God that some are gradually coming back to their senses. There is virtue in moderation. I taught you that. Let your moderation be seen by all men, for the sake of Christ.
Make a difference between where you are today and where you were before you embraced Christ. If the difference is not seen, blame yourself and not God.
If He gives Me the strength, I will talk more. If He gives Me the strength, I say, I will talk more today.
Brethren were asking Me a question, “Daddy, You went to this birthday with empty stomach, and You performed all you performed that day, even with swollen legs”, for due to acupuncture, the two of them were swollen.
I told them, “I did not even take a glass of water. I never even took a shot of any hot drink.” Anytime I want to attend such a ceremony, I place Myself between life and death – between spirit and humans.
And that was the way I operated that day which made people who saw Me in the Hall not to recognize Me when I came out. Argument ensued when I was reversing My vehicle.
A young man was pointing at Me as a man that celebrated because I was wearing My Abada with My sandals. His brother said, “No! It cannot be that Man. Ah ah! Maybe they resemble. In short, they do not resemble.”
He said, “My friend, listen to me. Do not look at this thing He is wearing. This is the Man we celebrated inside the hall.” Argument ensued between the two. I did not talk. I continued reversing My vehicle.
I drove Myself to the place, and I drove Myself back. To Me, it meant nothing.
For three days running, there is food in this house. Only those who are with Me will tell what they have given to Me as food. My strength increases whenever I stay without food.

The Scripture said that we are of God, and we are children of God. The rest of the people around us are under the power and control of the evil One. If you do not want the Devil to control you or to be under his power, remain in Christ. Abide in Me and I will abide in you. The Lord said, “When you abide in Me and My Words abide in you, ask whatsoever you will!” What a blank cheque. If you can have faith in Me, abide in Me, allow My Word to abide in you, ask whatsoever. There is no limit. It is like giving you a blank cheque and telling you to write the amount you need or you want, whichever.

THE SON OF MAN

GIVE YOURSELF A PLACE WHEN YOU ARE ALIVE; preached on Friday 27^th November, 2015 at the Son of Man’s Family Altar, Mbaise; Pg. 43 vs. 27 – 29

WITHOUT FAITH, YOU CAN NEVER PLEASE GOD

So, what am I saying? Be very careful. Be very very careful. You are facing judgment in the hands of God every day.
Somebody thinks that God will establish a throne somewhere, dress it with white cloth and call it white throne judgment where the whole world will file.
Let Me tell you. Judgment is on right now. He that is not believing in Me is already judged and condemned. And be very careful when God begins to approve for you things He approved for the heathens.
Maybe He is putting you to test to know whether you will remain loyal and obedient or you will say, “Thank God! He has given me opportunity. I can now be like my fellow women outside.”
Watch the way you look when you put on your own. All the make-ups you use contrary to the will of God, have they in any way improved your beauty? But because you are not accustomed to it, your own will always look like a rain drenched vulture.
Do you not know that when someone starts putting that which the person was not previously known for, the person looks different. It is difficult for the person’s body to even blend with the dress.
I need to see the one I saw that day, putting on eyelashes which I decried from the Bible and from every manuscript. Some came with high heel shoes looking like daughters of Zion that were wild, holding their heads high with their earrings and nose rings with high heels, shaking their buttocks with their eyes flickering.
REFERENCE: Isaiah 3:16-17, MSG. God says, “Zion women are stuck-up, prancing around in their high heels, Making eyes at all the men in the street, swinging their hips,
Tossing their hair, gaudy and garish in cheap jewelry.” The Master will fix it so those Zion women will all turn bald—Scabby, bald-headed women. The Master will do it.
Who are they desiring? It is because it is the opportunity for them to come and look for husbands. How many got a husband? They do not know that nobody gets a good husband in such a ceremony. You will only get people that are like you.
This is because one who wants to marry will go for virtue. The person will go for character. You will not go for dressing, or outward appearance that is very deceitful.
The days are over when “I love you” gives you a husband. The days are over. Men now do lots and lots of investigations before they can stop at a lady and say, “Be my wife”.
That is why ladies are trying to make money by all means so that they can use the money to attract the attention of lazy men who will depend on the women to furnish the apartment where they will live, give them food, provide shelter and provide everything.
Then they will be praising the industry of the wife. Instead of praising your industry as a man, you will be praising the industry of your wife, “My wife labours too much. My wife makes money. My wife. My wife. My wife.”
Who is marrying who? When the wife should be boasting that she is married to a man who is a man indeed – an ideal man who accepts his challenges and responsibilities without shifting or passing them to other people and who will not expose her to ridicule and who will live up to his responsibilities.
That is the pride of every woman that has a virtuous man as her husband. But today, men are looking for women who will sponsor them. Is it not madness? To God be the glory.
Let us consider men of faith to know whether God praised any of them in evil or whether they became men of faith through disobedience to God’s Word or through implicit obedience which is virtuous.
Virtue is seen in her daughters. Virtue is made manifest in her daughters the same way wisdom is made manifest in her children.
If you like, say amen. If you do not like, close your mouth. Truth remaineth truth.
^[5]Enoch trusted God too, and that is why God took him away to heaven without dying; suddenly he was gone because God took him. Before this happened God had said how pleased he was with Enoch. Amen!
Is God pleased with you? Do you have such a trust in God that will make Him to pull you along? Can God say, “I am confident in you” or “I have confidence in you”? Can God say of you, “The confidence I reposed on you is not a misplaced one.”
This is because when you repose your confidence on one who is unreliable, you have misplaced it. True or false?
^[5]Enoch trusted God too, and that is why God took him away to heaven without dying; suddenly he was gone because God took him. Before this happened God had said how pleased he was with Enoch.
And then, when I say I want to vanish, and that it is better I vanish instead of dying to avoid putting you into trouble, many of you started weeping and crying, “Daddy, you are not going anywhere.”
You think I take delight in lying prostrate and then begin to dig My grave. I know what is upholding Me here.
^[6]You can never please God without faith,… What? You can never please God without faith, without depending on him. Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him.
You will never please God. You can never, if the Scriptures say you can never please God without faith, without depending on Him, really believing in Him, trusting in Him, confiding in Him, leaning your entire human personality on God, no longer leaning on your own understanding, your own opinion nor your own idea.
You have the Message, LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING [preached by the son of man on Sunday, 10thMay, 2015].
The LORD Jesus warned seriously for He knew that there were people that will take delight in leaning on their own personal understanding.
Lean your entire human personality on God. Trust in Him. Believe and confide in Him, for that is the only way you can please God. If you are living a life that is not pleasing to God, do you not know that you are dead.
I say, anybody whose life is not pleasing to God, is that person not dead? You are considered dead that God is not pleased with you and you go about bragging, jumping and eating and drinking.
I am saying that God does not take delight in you. And He does not want to hear anything concerning you, for you are an evil person. It has gotten to a height where your face has become an abhorrence in His sight.
Can you not pause and think? The Creator of heaven and earth who formed you and brought you into existence, nurtured you into limelight is saying He is not pleased with you.
Watch all these people. They lived lives that were pleasing to God. Why is God not pleased with you? Is it not because of your evil behaviour? Is it not because of your evil heart and evil spirit that is leading you to wrong character?
No matter how you are reproved, you are still continuing, challenging God and putting Him to test.
God is not pleased with you. You cannot reflect on the past when the Scriptures said, “With many of them in the wilderness, God was not pleased.” Did He save those people? Did he not destroy all of them? As many as He was not pleased with, did He spare any?
And in your day, when you hear that God is not pleased with you, you rejoice instead of seeking the remedy.
Find out a way. Find out that which you are doing which is making God not to be pleased with you. If you can correct it by changing your attitude, changing your mind and your spirit, do you not know that God will accept you?
If Cain had changed his mind and did that which Abel did, do you not think that God would have accepted his sacrifice? Continue being unyielding and unbending. Continue in lying and cheating. Continue to invent defensive excuses for evil you have done.
Instead of changing your heart and your mind, never to continue in evil, you are devising the excuses you will give as if there is a reasonable excuse before God.
I just thank God this morning because we are taking off on a very good note this morning because I have seen Him here watching over us with tender jealousy.
And I can now boldly say, though I am sitting down. It cannot deter Me from voicing out and declaring the celebration over this morning together with its funfair. They are all over. Yes!
^[6]You can never please God without faith,without depending on him. Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God…
There is what? A God.Did the Scriptures say there are gods. You believe there is “a God”, for God is one and not two. His Name, one. God is one. His Name is one. Take note of it.
Where you do not believe that there is a God that revealed Himself to you and to the entire human race. A God that has attracted all the Elect of God worldwide to Himself.
And because He was drawn from your own extraction, over-familiarity and His simplicity now began to play out on you because you are a pagan – a heathen.
Prophet Muhammad Raheem [peace be upon him] said it in the Holy Qur’an, warning the Arabs, the Muslims, “Be very careful. Let not my descent from among you corrupt you nor make you not to believe Allah as the only one and supreme God, for Allah has no substitute. He is one and exists alone. Only Him shall you worship.”
You see, God drawing His own vessel, His own tabernacle from among a people can be a stumbling block. To who? To His enemies and not to His original sons and daughters.
Even if God is using My father, will it be a stumbling block? To Me, it is a spiritual booster that My father is the one in the cockpit. I am secured.
A child that is been driven in a vehicle by the father, can that child rise up to challenge the father’s driving or say the father is talking too much? The child can sleep if he or she wants to sleep. They can play in the vehicle. The father’s duty is to pin the whole doors so that they cannot open it accidentally and jump out.
The joy is always there when a man is driving carrying his family. They are never afraid of any amazement. They do not even remember that the vehicle can spoil on the way or that evil can befall them because their father is holding the steering. Their mother is confident that the man is holding the steering. True or false?
Then any day the man holding the steering becomes a stumbling block to the wife and the children, the journey has ended midway. Rebellion has started. The woman has started quarrelling over the driving, over this and over that, complaining, murmuring, and the children will join. Angrily, the man will park the vehicle.
Remember, whenever you see something that is not supposed to be found in your life creeping in, your vehicle is gradually parking unless you notice it and arrest it immediately. Allow it to come and settle down in you, if your vehicle does not park, know that I am not THE SON OF MAN.
I treated this matter there at GTC. Little things that destroy the faith of the so-called man of God. Little things! Little things that destroy the family [Preached on 13^th June 2002]. Negligible things that eat down the oak tree.
If you see the little flies that injects poison in the stem of a very big iroko tree– you see those black ants and flies. Before you know it, the germs will be injected into the fabrics of that tree. Any little wind, you will see the tree collapse.
When you get to the point of its collapse, you will see that it had already been eaten away long long time ago. The roots have all become rotten. You will see small small flies that will be flying out from that spot. They caused the collapse of the big tree.
Do not expect a big thing that will stumble you. They are just irrelevant things. Things that do not matter. Things that have no value in the life that Christ gives. Things we can live without. There are many things we can live without. Is it a lie Brethren?
But to a foolish fellow, those things we live without, he will regard those things as indispensable. It will be a very important thing to the foolish fellow.
Today, the way people celebrate and carry their handsets giving room for people to snatch them is such that anyone whose handset spoils, his world has spoilt as if there was no time we were moving about without handsets. Handset has become an indispensable partner in our lives and our life activities. May God help us.
Even when we cannot maintain the handsets very well, some hold the handset just for the pride that is associated with it, but talk of knowing the value for which he is carrying it, no way.
For anybody who knows the value of the handset, the battery can never go flat. There is no day he will tell you, “There is no light. For that reason, my phone is off.”
If your phone can be off for one day and you survive, let it be off for generations to come. You will survive. And it goes to show that it is not serving any useful purpose. It can be abandoned. Am I making sense?
I will keep on talking while I am still here.
^[6]…Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him.
^[7]Noah was another who trusted God. When he heard God’s warning about the future, Noah believed him even though there was then no sign of a flood, and wasting no time, he built the ark and saved his family. …
“And wasting no time” when God spoke to him. When God spoke to Noah, God spoke to him because he found favour in the sight of God. He God told him what was about to come upon the whole earth, Noah trusted in the person that had appeared to him, the Almighty God.
God confided in him, and he [Noah] believed in Him. Without wasting time, he went about putting that instruction into action. Did Noah go about conferring with flesh and blood. He did not go around the city telling people, “Come and see what I am doing.”
Did he negotiate it with anybody? But if it comes to you today, you will run round the whole world seeking people’s opinion.
By the time you get the opinion of your wife, your husband, your daughter and this and that, it will be a forgone alternative. The Word will be set aside, for your wife will tell you, “And you believe this nonsense to be true. Since the world began, have you ever seen rain on the land before? Or will it start now? I do not know why men use to panic. They look strong, but they are very fearful.”
The idiot of a man will believe such silly statements, and then go and rest in the bed.
… Noah’s belief in God was in direct contrast to the sin and disbelief of the rest of the world— … Have you heard it? Have you heard it?
… Noah’s belief in God was in direct contrast to the sin and disbelief of the rest of the world—which refused to obey[Sure!!!]—and because of his faith he became one of those whom God has accepted.[Sure!!!]
^[8]Abraham trusted God, and when God told him to leave home and go far away to another land that he promised to give him, Abraham obeyed. Away he went, not even knowing where he was going.
Straight away, he went without asking God, “Where am I going? Who will I sojourn in his house? What shall we eat when we get to the place?”
^[9]And even when he reached God’s promised land, he lived in tents like a mere visitor… Like what? Like a mere visitor. And the people never knew him as a great man o. He left his home a great man with his cattle and everything, but when he got there, he lived in tents. He had already abandoned his mansion in his father’s land and is now a tenant.
^[9]And even when he reached God’s promised land, he lived in tents like a mere visitor as did Isaac and Jacob, to whom God gave the same promise. Sure!!!
^[10]Abraham did this because he was confidently waiting for God to bring him to that strong heavenly city whose designer and builder is God.
^[10]Abraham did this because he was confidently waiting for God… Are you confidently waiting for the promise of the hour? Many have lost their faith in the promise.
Some that are waiting for the second return of Jesus Christ, have they known that He has been here? How will they know? They have lost the faith because they believe in things God never promised.
But when you are believing in that which God promised, you are the one that will know its fulfilment because you believed it. That which you do not believe, when it comes to pass, you will not know. And you continue with your imaginations.
They have imagined the way Christ will return, but He has returned long long time ago. How many know it to be truth? Only those who believed it. He will show Himself a second time. They were eagerly and patiently waiting for Him. He appeared to them and became their consolation.
And now that He is here with them, they are waiting for the day He will go away with them, for wherever He is, there they shall be. They know and they are rejoicing and saying, “Thank God! At last, He has come. My problem is over. My duty is to follow. Anywhere he goes, I am following.” That’s all!

I am your Saviour. I am here to tell you things you do to get eternal life. Without Me, there is no salvation. Without Me, there is no eternal life. Believe it if you can…….

BUILDING PLAN: GOD’S PLAN TO ESTABLISH HIS CHURCH; Preached on Sunday 26^th September, 1993 at Abagana; Pg. 3

HAVE FAITH IN THE SAVIOUR

Hebrews 11 from verse 10.^[10]Abraham did this because he was confidently waiting for God to bring him to that strong heavenly city whose designer and builder is God.
^[11]Sarah, too, had faith,… Who? Sarah, too, had faith,… Was Sarah a man or a woman? She also had faith.
^[11]Sarah, too, had faith, and because of this she was able to become a mother in spite of her old age, for she realized that God, who gave her his promise, would certainly do what he said.
But today, can the women of today say so and believe God to that extent? Some will tell you “Aaah! This is what we have been hearing every time. How long will it take? I am tired.”
Whoever that waits on the promises of God does not get tired. Whoever that waits on the promises of God does not get tired.
At that moment it proceeds out of your mouth, “Eeeh! I have been waiting all these years. How long will it take. In short, I am tired.” That was the time the devil swept you away, canceled your faith and canceled the promise before you.
If you must get it again, you must start all over to create confidence in God. And you will get it in a much harder way.
^[12]And so a whole nation came from Abraham, who was too old to have even one child—a nation with so many millions of people that, like the stars of the sky and the sand on the ocean shores, there is no way to count them.
^[13]These men of faith I have mentioned died without ever receiving all that God had promised them; but they saw it all awaiting them on ahead and were glad, for they agreed that this earth was not their real home but that they were just strangers visiting down here.
^[14]And quite obviously when they talked like that, they were looking forward to their real home in heaven. ^[15]If they had wanted to, they could have gone back to the good things of this world.
^[16]But they didn’t want to. They were living for heaven. … They showed little or no interest in the affairs of the world from where they were called out.
All I need from the world is the much that will sustain my life while I live here and the lives of those that are committed to my trust. Finish!
But there are people that will like to carry the entire world on their head. Wherever they go, they carry the entire world. Woe unto Me if I should join them in that wild profligacy.
…They were living for heaven. And now God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has made a heavenly city for them. Sure!!!
^[17]While God was testing him, Abraham still trusted in God and his promises, and so he offered up his son Isaac and was ready to slay him on the altar of sacrifice; ^[18]yes, to slay even Isaac, through whom God had promised to give Abraham a whole nation of descendants! Good!
^[19]He believed that if Isaac died God would bring him back to life again; and that is just about what happened, for as far as Abraham was concerned, Isaac was doomed to death, but he came back again alive!
^[20]It was by faith that Isaac knew God would give future blessings to his two sons, Jacob and Esau. What? It was by faith that Isaac knew God would give future blessings to his two sons, Jacob and Esau. What? It was by faith that Isaac knew God would give future blessings to his two sons, Jacob and Esau. Yet, Esau I hate. Jacob I love.
REFERENCES: [2] Genesis 32:26-28, AMP.²⁶Then He said, Let Me go, for day is breaking. But [Jacob] said, I will not let You go unless You declare a blessing upon me. ²⁷[The Man] asked him, What is your name? And [in shock of realization, whispering] he said, Jacob [supplanter, schemer, trickster, swindler]! ²⁸And He said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob [supplanter], but Israel [contender with God]; for you have contended and have power with God and with men and have prevailed.
[2] Genesis 36:8, 31. AMP.¹NOW THIS is the history of the descendants of Esau, that is, Edom. …
⁸So Esau dwelt in the hill country of Seir; Esau is Edom. … ³¹And these are the kings who reigned in Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites:
^[21]By faith Jacob, when he was old and dying, blessed each of Joseph’s two sons as he stood and prayed, leaning on the top of his cane. Ephraim and Manasseh. The two sons of Joseph, from where you took your origin.
^[22]And it was by faith that Joseph, as he neared the end of his life, confidently spoke of God bringing the people of Israel out of Egypt;[Sure!!!] and he was so sure of it that he made them promise to carry his bones with them when they left! Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs.
REFERENCE: TESTAMENT OF THE TWELVE PATRIARCHS, Chapter 11— The Testament of Joseph Concerning Sobriety.] verse 20.²⁰I know that after my death the Egyptians will afflict you, but God will undertake your cause, and will bring you into that which He promised to your fathers. But carry up my bones with you; for when my bones are taken up, the Lord will be with you in light, and Beliar shall be in darkness with the Egyptians.
^[23]Moses’ parents had faith too. When they saw that God had given them an unusual child,… An what? …an unusual child… An What? An unusual child… Can God give a man unusual child?
^[23]Moses’ parents had faith too. When they saw that God had given them an unusual child, they trusted that God would save him from the death the king commanded, and they hid him for three months and were not afraid.
^[24-25]It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be treated as the grandson of the king, but chose to share ill-treatment with God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin.
Can anybody say why God gave them unusual child? Is it not better to have an unusual child that will do the will of God than to continue to fill My house with usual children that will never do the will of God, that will keep on troubling parents from generation to generation? Check all that came usually.
“Life as usual”, is it a good life? Many are praying and wishing that they will have usual children, but wise people desire unusual children.
Wise people desire unusual children. One that will be completely different from others. Who makes that difference? God. He possesses that child from the mother’s womb and owns responsibility, and then became a saviour.
Life as usual has killed many. Is it not what is destroying people today? Eating and drinking, moving about life as usual, as it was in the days of Noah.
But there are unusual people here. Here on earth, they are unusual, for their origin is equally unusual. Their life does not conform with the life of their siblings. Their lives do not conform with the life of people from their area. These are odd balls God injected. They are special envoys, man and woman alike. We call them gifted children.
A family that has one is a blessed family, for that one will do unimaginable things, and will be one in a million. That is why stars are born and not made.
^[24-25]It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be treated as the grandson of the king, but chose to share ill-treatment with God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin.
^[26]He thought that it was better to suffer for the promised Christ than to own all the treasures of Egypt,… Christ was promised. He was waiting for that promise. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel by faith. If it meant death, he was willing to die.
Did the promise disappoint him? No! God has never disappointed anybody that has put his trust and confidence in Him. Only hypocrites feel disappointed. Why?
Their hypocrisies disappointed them, not God. They thought they were serving God when God has not even recognized them as followers.
If God is with you, where is the evidence. If you have been with Christ now that Christ has revealed Himself, He is in the midst of the Bride showcasing Himself throughout the whole world– if you have been with Him all these years as Christ, where is your evidence?
Is your evidence the way He fed the multitudes? What if I ask of evidence and you present a picture? Is a picture the evidence? What you have as irrefutable evidence that God is in your midst, is it the picture.
You are the commendation letter. You are the receipt. If you are not the receipt, you have no receipt. If anybody is looking for Christ and what He has done, look at Me, for without Him, I was totally lost and undone.
You want to see the power of Christ to convert, to reform and refine, to save, look at Me. I am a beneficiary.
That is why I love the testimony of Brother Chigozie Ibekwe when he came to this area in search of accommodation. He used himself as evidence and as a receipt.
He said, “I do not need to go far or begin to tell you one thing or the other which you may doubt or believe. Look at me here. I am a living testimony – a living evidence.” This is because he is sure.
Are you sure and certain? Has anything tangible taken place in your life? Or are you just going by wishful thinking? I think! Are you going by the testimonies of others? When will you have your own testimony? What is hindering you? Hypocrisy.
You have never for one day sought the face of God with a good heart. Seek Him and ye shall find Him. Ask and He will give you. Knock and He shall open the door for you if you come with a good heart, truth and love.
Once hypocrisy and doubt come into you do not ever expect God to reveal Himself to you. He will give you the other side of Himself. You will be here in the world feeding very well, but awaiting the day of your execution and you will be pushed into hellfire, where the fire will dry all you had eaten.
See that goat at the back of the house. It will be slaughtered one day. For its sake we go to cut grasses morning, afternoon and night. Did we decide to starve the goat because we shall slaughter it?
This is the time when we are even giving the goat the type of good food it had never eaten before. Afterwards, it is given mango, banana and leftover food and it will be looking fresh, but it is already awaiting execution. Will it be executed one day? Yes! Then what will be the value of that food.
I will show you everything you know and that which you do not know. I will use nature to illustrate that heaven and hell are real. The promises of God are as real as I am talking to you now.
^[26]He thought that it was better to suffer for the promised Christ than to own all the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking forward to the great reward that God would give him.
He was doing what? … he was looking forward to the great reward that God would give him.Is it an ordinary reward? Is it an ordinary reward? Is it a usual reward? It is a great reward. Sure and certain.
Eyes have not seen. Ears have not heard. It has never entered into the heart of man what that reward is all about. You only know eternal life, but whatever eternal life contains, you do not know.
Have you ever seen Paradise with your eyes? You think God is crazy by burying it in the ground so that you will not be desiring to go. Then you pay for your disobedience in hellfire if you do not believe in the promise.
When you are in hellfire paying for your disobedience, the obedient ones will be rejoicing in Paradise that they never believed God in vain and that their faith in Christ never disappointed them.
If you go to the Book of Galatians, saint Paul asked a question, “What if we believe in Christ to save us, only to discover at the end that we have made a mistake. He cannot save.” He said, “Let nobody ever dare to think of this type of nonsense about the Messiah, Christ. But we shall be found to be transgressors if we begin to rebuild the old system we have been pulling down. If we begin to renew the old life you were living, we are going to regret.”
^[27]And it was because he trusted God that he left the land of Egypt and wasn’t afraid of the king’s anger. Moses kept right on going; it seemed as though he could see God right there with him.
^[28]And it was because he believed God would save his people that he commanded them to kill a lamb as God had told them to and sprinkle the blood on the doorposts of their homes so that God’s terrible Angel of Death could not touch the oldest child in those homes as he did among the Egyptians.
^[29]The people of Israel trusted God and went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians chasing them tried it, they all were drowned.
^[30]It was faith that brought the walls of Jericho tumbling down after the people of Israel had walked around them seven days as God had commanded them.
^[31]By faith—because she believed in God and his power—Rahab the harlot did not die… Who?…Rahab the harlot… Who? …Rahab the harlot…
You know, people only hear about Mary Magdalene. Then other women, Euodias and so on. Look at this woman, Rahab the harlot.
Anybody can be saved, provided you have faith in the Saviour. Anybody! If a harlot can be saved, what will stop you from being saved? Lack of faith in the Saviour that is revealed to you.
^[31]By faith—because she believed in God and his power—Rahab the harlot did not die with all the others in her city when they refused to obey God, for she gave a friendly welcome to the spies.
In the world we are living in, we normally say it, “If a man is not called a criminal, a woman will be called a harlot.” Is it not true? Someone who is quarrelling and insulting, if the person does not call a man a robber, he will call a woman a harlot. That is the height of insult.
And the way people use the term, “Harlot, she is wayward” means that the person referred to as a harlot is wayward, while they themselves are plying their own trade more discreetly under cover. Is it not true?
Nobody can believe that God can recognize the faith of a prostitute or that a prostitute can have faith in God more than a virgin that is kept in protective custody by the parents. She will perish with her virginity. A prostitute will be saved through her prostitution. Can you imagine.
She was a prostitute by profession, but had faith in God, the God of Israel to the extent that she acknowledged the presence of God’s Messengers who turned out to be angels of destruction – Caleb and Joshua.
She harboured them in her house. And the Messengers were not afraid of what people will say concerning them, “Look at men of God, Jews, Israelis entering into a brothel, going to the house of a prostitute. And can you imagine? They passed a night.”
They think they are scandalizing them. They do not know the provision God had already made.
I saw it in one of the Message we read. EVERY ACTION OF A MAN OF GOD IS DIVINELY ORIENTED, THERE IS A DIVINE PURPOSE TO BE FULFILLED.
But a carnal fellow who does not have the spirit of Christ, he wants explanation he will give it which is his own carnal interpretation just to run down the reputation of the man of God so that nobody will believe his report.
You will be there claiming to be holy holy and a prostitute will come in and a criminal will come in, for the LORD Jesus delighted Himself in mingling with such people for which cause the Jews were not happy with Him that He is moving and mingling with people of suspicious character, especially women, and young men who are suspected criminals.
They accused Him of moving with people of low morals. That was their assessment. All of them who were moving with their high morals with their hands clean, the legs clean and everything clean, did God recognize any?
Rather, He said that he has come for people like these – these classless ones rejected and abhorred by all of you self-righteous people who commit heinous crimes in secret.
Nobody commits the worst crime in secret more than the self-righteous people. It takes God to bring their hidden deeds to the open. What I am telling you is the truth.
If you check it, when HIV entered Nigeria, the first set of people the disease wiped off were all the women that were considered to be of high morals including their likes of men. HIV wiped them off and never spared reverend fathers.
The reverend sister that contacted HIV, who gave it to her? If the reverend sister did not give birth to twins, will anybody know that she can get pregnant? The pregnancy that defied abortion exposed her. It is everywhere.
Let Me tell you. The greatest abomination before men today is prostitution and stealing [robbery]. Is it not true? They esteem it highly.
That which you esteem so highly is an abomination before God. You would not know what God had already preplanned to do.
What can you say about the situation where God commanded Hosea to marry a prostitute? A harlot! God commanded the Prophet to go and marry her, “That is my choice of your wife. My reason is that other men will bear children for you. And I will use you to judge Israel.” Can you imagine?
Close your mouths whenever you see whatever God is doing that you cannot understand. If you cannot accept it, reject it so that God will know that you have rejected the promise, but be very careful that you do not reject the one that is meant for your own good and for your own comfort.
Did Hosea say no? Did he say over his dead body? Did he go about policing the wife? He said, “Glory be to God. All actions of God are righteous. Who am I that God will even decide how I will get my own children?
What if he wanted to get it the other way, do you think God would have given him? Let Me tell you. God would not have given him even half a child. The more he tried, the more he will be wasting it because a way has been made by God of how he will get his own children.

No man has ever seen God, but with the eye of Faith, we have seen God. How many believe God is in the midst of the Bride? That is Faith and by Faith we will be in rapture whether the devil likes it or not. You see how Faith works?

THE SON OF MAN

FAITH; preached on Friday 12^th March 1993 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Page 43 vs. 17

Where is your faith?

Today is a day I love so much. When I look around, I see Him. It gives Me joy. Who do I see? I see no other person but the same person who had been piloting.
Do you need a Prophet to tell you that the Cloud is here? Do you need a Prophet to announce to you that the Cloud is here? If you need a Prophet, I will allow you to go outside. This place is not cool because of this fan. It is cool because He wants it to be like this.
^[31]By faith—because she believed in God and his power—Rahab the harlot did not die with all the others in her city when they refused to obey God,…
In the days of Noah, they refused to obey God. Noah singled himself and his family out. In Jericho, they refused to obey God. A prostitute decided to obey with her children.
…Rahab the harlot did not die with all the others in her city when they refused to obey God, for she gave a friendly welcome to the spies.
^[32]Well, how much more do I need to say? It would take too long to recount the stories of the faith of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah and David and Samuel and all the other prophets.
^[33]These people all trusted God and as a result won battles, overthrew kingdoms, ruled their people well, and received what God had promised them;… And did what?… and received what God had promised them;…
Has God promised you anything in your own day? If there is no other one you can remember, why do you not remember immortality [your new body] which He said you will claim from Him as your right?
Have you collected your own? Are we not stupid to have allowed ourselves to be pushed about by the devil through our thoughts and imaginations that contain no truth?
William Branham said that God is not coming to save those people whose hands are clean, their legs clean, their faces clean.
He is coming to save those whose faces are dirty, hands dirty, hearts dirty, legs dirty so that His cleansing power might be made manifest. He is not coming to save a reverend gentle man.
But the statement said that you must be ready to submit yourself for the cleansing work. If you never submitted yourself for the baptism, will John come and baptize you in your house? You must first submit yourself. Then the cleansing will be carried out.
…they were kept from harm in a den of lions ^[34]and in a fiery furnace. Some, through their faith, escaped death by the sword. Some were made strong again after they had been weak or sick. Others were given great power in battle; they made whole armies turn and run away.
^[35]And some women, through faith, received their loved ones back again from death. But others trusted God and were beaten to death, preferring to die rather than turn from God and be free—trusting that they would rise to a better life afterwards. Amen! Amen!
^[36]Some were laughed at and their backs cut open with whips, and others were chained in dungeons. ^[37-38]Some died by stoning and some by being sawed in two; others were promised freedom if they would renounce their faith, then were killed with the sword. Some went about in skins of sheep and goats, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in dens and caves. They were hungry and sick and ill-treated—too good for this world.
^[39]And these men of faith, though they trusted God and won His approval, none of them received all that God had promised them; ^[40]for God wanted them to wait and share the even better rewards that were prepared for us. Amen!
Let us go over to our Sunday School. I believe we have learnt a lot from the passage. Am I making sense? Where is your faith? Why not join your faith with theirs immediately. The faith of your patriarch.
Is there any other thing we are preaching if not faith which is grace? Faith in Christ. Faith in Jehovah. That’s all! Having implicit trust in His Word that He that made the promise is able to keep it.
Faith is what you will put into action because, “I believe in God. This instruction He has given me, I do not need to discuss it with anybody. I am obeying the instruction to the letter.” Personal!
I am obeying because I know who has spoken to me. I am following because I know Whom I have believed in. That’s all!
That was the reason why saint Paul was not disobedient to heavenly vision. He did not confer with flesh and blood for him to obey.
Watch one thing common with all these people mentioned. Each time they received instruction from God, they go into action immediately. Nobody goes about trying to win converts before he will obey.
There is no way you can negotiate the Word of God and it will produce its effect. We must lower it or abandon it, for you must meet somebody who will tell you that it is useless, someone who will discourage you.
And these are dream killers. It can be your husband. It can be your wife. It can be anybody. This is where we normally take out independent decisions. When it comes to the act of worshipping God, everybody is independent in his or her decisions. If your decision will put you away in your marriage, leave that marriage! Quit!
I read a Message recently. We read it even at the backyard. Who can remind Me of the title? We have not finished it. And that is the Message where God was calling marriage nonsense and useless arrangement, commanding men and women to quit if it is going to be a stumbling block.
Who knows the title of that Message we read at the backyard? WHERE WILL SPEND YOUR ETERNITY? [Preached on 5^th July 2020] In heaven or in hellfire?
I would have allowed us to continue with the Message we read last night, but I changed My mind because many of you went about cooking and talking like Martha, jubilating over food, preparing this and preparing that for Brethren to eat and drink.
And those vultures who take delight in eating were around to the neglect of the Message that I gave out for the whole of Onitsha that gathered here.
I removed the one the Pastor was reading and gave him a new Message altogether and which met our souls’ innermost demands.
Because many of you did not pay attention, it will be an act of stupidity for us to start from where we stopped. We finished chapter 3. We would have started from chapter 4.
What will happen to those who never paid attention from chapter one? So, I kept it. Go over to this one.

[1] AWFUL IMPLICATIONS OF UNBELIEF

A Compilationof the Prophetic Messages of the Eternal Owner of Sovereignty in Our Midst, Apostle Peter Odoemena

BY BISHOP EMMANUEL INNAH & [2] RESISTING THE DEVIL

THE SON OF MAN’s Morning Altar Message, ALL MODERATED BY THE SON OF MAN

Our problem is unbelief. Over-familiarity is very dangerous. It is because we are Igbo people. The moment our friend introduces himself to us, he is worth nothing to us again. I do not know whether I committed crime by unfolding the mask. I do not know whether I committed crime by unfolding the mask. The other time, I unfolded a little and then closed it again. But this time around, I have removed the mask, because we have come to the end of the journey. If you have not believed now, you will never believe again. Because when we shall see Him, how will He look like? We shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is. Not minus, not plus.

THE SON OF MAN

ACTION TIME PART 4 (FIX YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL) CAMP MEETING; New year Message/End of Camp Meeting 1997; Thursday 1^st January, 1998 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 30 vs. 22 – 25

WE ARE SERVING THE UNRECOGNIZED GOD

THE AWFUL IMPLICATIONS OF UNBELIEF dated 16th November, 2020 by Bishop Emmanuel Innah, the Household of God Cross River State, Nigeria as Approved and Authorized by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN, The Ageless Being.
NUGGET: That you are here does not mean you have My Spirit, but it is believed that the more you are acquainted with a Man of God, the more you are imbibing His Spirit until, a little while, you all will become one.
Anything you are thinking is what He will be thinking. Even if you are singing praises, He will be singing the same praises. What you are thinking in your heart, He will be thinking the same. Anything! [MIRROR Vol. 2; Preached o 23^rd June 2020, Page 126 verse 54-55]
Be very careful. William Branham said that you are not saved until your heart beat and that of Christ become one. In the Message entitled, “LET THE MIND THAT WAS IN CHRIST BE IN YOU”, if the mind that was in Christ is in you, would you not be having the same character?
Then, to all of us who have that same spirit, He said we should be firmly joined together by one spirit, in one accord, minding the same thing, speaking the same thing, having perfect judgment in one thing, behaving alike so that even if there be somebody who will come with strange spirit, even the Spirit of God among us will reveal that the person is a stranger.
Is it not why we are clamping down on Okwuchukwu, the son of Elijoe and FearGod who are strangers among us? In spite of the number of years they have stayed, they are not ready to change and are not ready to take correction.
That same old habit they imbibed from their parents that is not even helping them– the character your parents are possessing do not help them one bit, and you are continuing with it thinking your life will be better for you. Are you not daydreaming? You are building castles in the air.
Whatever that did not help your parents to succeed, and you go there and pick it for yourself in this modern time, that goes to show that you are much more stupid than your parents. Your own condition will be worse than that of your parents, for life is getting worse with every passing day.
Page 19. ⁴…it is at this period of waiting that people wander away from God without knowing. ⁵Establishing their own pattern of worship, which is based on the imaginations of their heart instead of on the revealed pattern? … True or false?
Page 24.16.³¹REMEMBER THAT THE GOD WE ARE SERVING IS AN UNRECOGNIZED GOD TO MANY. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE GATHERING IN THE FELLOWSHIP WITH US, THEY ARE YET TO RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS GOD. Do you believe it?
Page 27.²³Brethren, there is a difference between believing that the Son of Man is God and having personal revelation of His Supreme Majesty as the Creator of heaven and earth. The former may be obtained by hearsay, what people said concerning Him or what you read about Him, but the latter is only obtained through the transcendental knowledge and divine revelation. Yes!!!
Page 28. ²⁶The last sign has been displayed by God and the whole wide world have seen it. If you are still expecting another sign, you are doomed, for there is no other sign that would be given to you but your destruction in Hell.
Have you heard? No other sign shall be given to this generation. You have come to your final bus-stop. I am the final possibility for heaven, for Paradise, for eternal life.
I am not boasting. I am not bragging. I have everything to brag about, but I remain meek, simple, lowly, humble and easily entreated. I am accessible to all.
All those powers never for one day got over My head so as to make Me to be puffed up with pride or become another tin god who is unapproachable.
In the worldly sphere, ordinary councillor of a ward commands respect and honour more than the son of man. I say it without mincing words. Ordinary councillor of a ward! In the worldly sphere, ordinary councillor commands respect and honour from the people more than the son of man.
Common village head, your traditional ruler commands much more respect than the son of man.
Can you imagine ordinary chairman of a town union is so highly cherished, honoured and respected that he is being assigned with four eagle-eyed police men as security and escort? Chairman of a town union moving with four police escorts. Verify from Pastor Thomas because we went to Nsugbe together.
And the simplicity that is in the son of man will make Him to walk anywhere. He does not know who is who. He treats everybody as He treats Himself. That’s all! And I think that this is why people find it difficult to believe that He is what He is claiming He is.
I AM THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER. The reason why you have never recognized Me till today is that you have never cared to look into My Past, if I have a past.
As far as I am here, yesterday, today and the future are one. The living and the dead are one. This is My own verdict about Myself. I do not have a yesterday. I do not have a today. I do not have a future. i have come to stay.
For your sake, I started counting in days, in weeks and in months, but now, I have returned to what I am – status quo ante.
REFERENCE: THE FIRST BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE by Rutherford Platt, Chapter 14 verse 3 through 5.¹Again 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. ²But 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. ³And I, who am without years, shall be subject to the reckoning of years, of times, of months, and of days, and I shall be reckoned as one of the sons of men, in order to save you.”
Saint Paul said, “Even if others do not believe in Me to be God’s Apostle, what of you the Corinthian church? Won’t you believe in me also?”
Is the sign of My apostleship not made manifest in your life. Are you not commendation letters of apostolic ministry? You are the receipt. You are the commendation letter, but some are the commendation letters of the pagans – heathens.
Page 35. ^{44 [34]}HAVE YOU KNOWN GOD TO THIS POINT THAT NO MATTER YOUR DEMONSTRATIONS, YOU CAN NEVER STOP GOD FROM WHAT HE WANTS TO DO?EVEN IF YOU CALL HIM A DECEIVER, IT CAN NEVER STOP GOD FROM DOING THAT WHICH HE HAS PURPOSED TO DO.
True or false? The Cloud will remain here until I get up.
Page 39. ⁵⁴Jeremiah 9:24. …
Jeremiah 9:23-24. Let us read it in the Amplified version. Living Bible and any other translation. Put it down nothing strikes you again. You cannot have a single nugget with which you are going home as what you got from Fellowship.
You should know the source of the pride and arrogance in you. If this is not the source, you have perished willingly. You are a wasted material. You are a wasted material. Bitumen is better than you are, for it can be used to construct tarred road for vehicles to run on.
⁵⁴Jeremiah 9:23-24. “²³Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches;
²⁴But let him who glories glory in this that he understands and knows Me personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character, that I am the Lord, who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord. AMP
Jeremiah 9:23-24, TLB. ^[23]The Lord says: Let not the wise man bask in his wisdom, nor the mighty man in his might, nor the rich man in his riches. ^[24]Let them boast in this alone: That they truly know me, and understand that I am the Lord of justice and of righteousness whose love is steadfast; and that I love to be this way.
Jeremiah 9:23-24, GNB. ²³The Lord says, “The wise should not boast of their wisdom, nor the strong of their strength, nor the rich of their wealth.²⁴If any want to boast, they should boast that they know and understand me, because my love is constant, and I do what is just and right. These are the things that please me. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
Jeremiah 9:23-24, MSG.^23-24God’s Message: “Don’t let the wise brag of their wisdom. Don’t let heroes brag of their exploits. Don’t let the rich brag of their riches. If you brag, brag of this and this only: That you understand and know me. I’m God, and I act in loyal love. I do what’s right and set things right and fair, and delight in those who do the same things. These are my trademarks.”
God’s Decree.
Jeremiah 9:23-24, NIV.²³This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, ²⁴but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.
Page 40.⁵⁶…Until you come to the full revelation of who He is, His words will not make any meaning to you. … Until you come to what? Full revelation of who He is, where His Word, His instruction or His correction will never make any impact in your life. You will still handle Him and His Word as usual.
Page 42.⁶¹Let us advance steadily to spiritual maturity, spiritual growth which has been the essence of Him giving us all these life-transforming messages. … Did we read it last night?
The qualities of a mature believer. Number 1: That is Patience. You have need of patience so that when your obedience to His instruction is fulfilled, you will get the promise.
Nobody realises the promises of God without waiting for it. Why? From the time the promise is made to the time of its fulfilment, God creates a time of waiting to test your faith.
There must be a period of waiting between the two, but where you lack that patience it proves you to be one that lacks that faith. Faith and patience operate together.
Tell me the one who has faith in God, I will tell you one who exercises patience. The Almighty God who said that you have need of patience, is He crazy? Is He not the God of patience?
Look at the Pyramid of the stature of the perfect man. You can see Patience there as one of the virtues a true Seed of God must have. Is patience not there?
If you do not have them, stop running around. You have a problem. Settle down, and you will see your problem. The solution is what is bringing Me to you.
⁶¹… Oh! Glory be to God in the highest for He has rigged away our human intellect, feelings, instinct and imagination so as to project us to a higher spiritual realm. Is there truth there?
⁶²BRETHREN HE THAT ASCENDED IS THE SAME THAT DESCENDED. THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS THE ONE THAT DESCENDED TO LEAD AND SET THE CAPTIVE FREE.
References:[1]John 6:31-33, AMP.³¹Our forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as the Scripture says, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. ³²Jesus then said to them, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Moses did not give you the Bread from heaven [what Moses gave you was not the Bread from heaven], but it is My Father Who gives you the true heavenly Bread. ³³For the Bread of God is He Who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.
[2] 1 Corinthians 15:45-47, AMP.⁴⁵Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life]. ⁴⁶But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual. ⁴⁷The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven.
Page 44.⁶⁵John 3:13. “And no man hath ascended up to heaven but he that hath come down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven. Have you heard it in your Scriptures?
⁶⁶“And yet no one has ever gone up to heaven, but there is One Who has come down from heaven- The Son of Man [Himself]…
If you go to the Grail Message, it will tell you He is a Heavenly Being that decided to come down to sojourn with you and to prepare you for that same heaven, for without Him, the road is elusive. Heaven is elusive. No hope.
⁶⁶“And yet no one has ever gone up to heaven, but there is One Who has come down from heaven- The Son of Man [Himself] who dwells, has His home, in heaven.” AMP. He has His home in heaven.
SONG: [I am born a pilgrim here. I am going home. One day I’ll take my cross, go home to rest. And with the angels there, we gonna sing redemption song of how we overcome. I am going home.]
I am a product of marital conjugation. A product of procreation. It does not preclude Me from being a heavenly Being. That I am born as a result of intercourse between a man and his wife never altered Me one bit. That is the ordained way I should come.
You can have such heavenly beings in your house without knowing who they are. You die while maltreating them. Unusual Beings!
EVERYTHING UNUSUAL COMES FROM GOD, FOR HE IS AN EXPERT IN DOING THINGS UNUSUAL.
And I told you that if you want to survive in these last days, move away from usual to unusual. If you remain in the usual way, you are not making a headway. you will keep on marking time.
This is the usual way. I must do it the ways of my fathers. You are dying and do not know it. Have you not seen many unusual things taking place? Ok. Continue in the old-fashion way
⁶⁷Ephesians 4:9-10 NIV. “What does “He ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly region? …Earthly region! Region of matter according to Abdrushin. The same person and not another.
Page 45.⁶⁹No one has ever gone up into the presence of God except the One who came down from that Presence,… Have you heard it?
Speaking to you is One Who will tell you everything about where you want to go. To you, it is imaginary. To Him, is it imaginary? I tell you of what I see, what I hear and what I have been dwelling with. If I say that I have over-stayed, let nobody ever doubt Me. I am the oldest Being here on earth. I have travelled round the globe. I have travelled round the globe.
⁶⁹No one has ever gone up into the presence of God except the One who came down from that Presence, the Son of Man. Apostle Peter Odoemena blessed be His Holy Name…. And who is always in His presence on a daily basis. What is He doing? Making intercessions for you.
Page 45.⁷⁰1 Timothy 6:16, AMP. “Who alone has immortality [in the sense of exemption from every kind of death] and lives in unapproachable light, Whom no man has ever seen or can see.⁷¹Unto Him be honour and everlasting power and dominion. Amen (so be it).
The sun is one. The moon is one. Stars are many. A Man is the sun representing the King. The Woman is the moon, for the sun gives light to the moon. The same sun gives light to the stars. Take away the sun, no light. He lights up the whole world.
Page 51. ⁸⁸The divine light came down in our midst as a ball of light during camp meeting precisely on 31st of December, 1994 which turned off all electrical gargets.
How many can believe our report? If you do not believe, go to the library. Go to that Ark. You will see the cassette. The cassette is there. Go and take it and play.
You will hear the sound of what took place, and hear the sounds of human beings that thought they were dying that night.
That is why we call it ARK OF TESTIMONIES OF THE LORD. If you doubt, go there. Emeka will give it to you. You go and play. After which, you return it.
Page 52.^{91 [7]}Everybody saw the thing coming and was bent down. Even the tape is with us. Yes! It is for doubting Thomases.
^{93 [8]}We heard kruuuuuuuuu! The thing just came and hung before the congregation, visible to the naked eyes. The Light illuminated the whole Hall for over three minutes.
⁹⁴Before we knew it, something happened; a man was transformed and was taken up before the entire Church. … A Man!

Address the truth. When you address the truth, you divorce religion and culture for God’s Teachings cut across all religious and cultural barriers. I am not here holding My cultural and religious identity. No! I am only in possession of God’s identity, A Man representing God. Finish! That is My identity.

WHAT IS YOUR DETERMINED PURPOSE FOR SERVING GOD?

THE AWFUL IMPLICATIONS OF UNBELIEF dated 16th November, 2020. Page 60.NUGGET: It is not knowing God that is your problem. It is not passing the information to others that is your problem. YOUR PROBLEM IS ONE THING: ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW GOD, YOU DO NOT GIVE HIM THE DUE HONOUR AND RESPECT AS GOD. YOU DO NOT WORSHIP HIM AS GOD. Hence, you know him to your condemnation.[MIRROR Volume 2; Preached on 23^rd June 2020; Page 80 verse 1-2]
There is a great difference between a man of God and a God-Man. I documented also in My salutation. What is deceiving the world remains, “Men of God” and “Women of God”, but we are here with the God-Man. The God-Man!
Page ⁶⁴God is a judge who is perfectly fair. He is angry with the wicked every day. [Psalms 7:11, NLT] He is what? Angry with the wicked everyday.
Who is the wicked? The disobedient ones! Those that know the truth and flout it. Knowing the truth and refusing to obey places you on the wicked side of God. Whenever He is destroying the wicked, you are number one, no matter your age. No matter your reputation, He does not want to know. If you like be the maidservant. You cannot serve more than Lucifer.
Page 64. ⁶You must know the Almighty God as one who is always angry at the wicked every day. If you have not known God to that extent you have not known him. You must know Him as one who is of a purer eye than to behold iniquity.
Did you hear that from Me this morning? People thought I was crazy. They will know how crazy I am anytime from now. I have celebrated My last celebration with mankind. Wait until I upload it.
Page 65. ⁹Thus, if it is not He that I am describing now that has called you in this Faith, please, after this Message, leave this Faith so that you do not kill yourself in this Most Holy Faith. Leave this Most Holy Faith to avoid being destroyed before your time.
The devil asked for that permission, that God should not destroy them before their time. When the LORD Jesus appeared, he called Him by His Name, for he knew Him. And he appealed to Him to exercise restraint over the judgment He passed on them. A day has been fixed for their destruction, for the devil knows that he has but a limited time before his destruction. Is it not scriptural?
References: [1] The Holy Qur’an – Surah 7:13-15, Hilali-Khan Translation. ¹³(Allah) said: “(O Iblîs) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced.” ¹⁴(Iblîs) said: “Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).” ¹⁵(Allah) said: “You are of those allowed respite.”
[2] Matthew 8:28-29, AMP.²⁸And when He arrived at the other side in the country of the Gadarenes, two men under the control of demons went to meet Him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce and savage that no one was able to pass that way. ²⁹And behold, they shrieked and screamed, What have You to do with us, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come to torment us before the appointed time?
IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A LIMITED TIME WITH THE SON OF MAN, YOU ARE A DEVIL. EVERY TRUE ELECT OF GOD HAS UNLIMITED TIME WITH THE SON OF MAN, FOR WHENEVER THIS MORTAL FLESH IS TAKEN AWAY, IMMORTALITY TAKES OVER.
He that has immortality will dwell with immortal souls forever and ever. The mortals will come into His likeness. You are vying for that beautiful City whose Maker is God.
The LORD has prepared all these where the mortals shall be in His likeness. All the children of God will put on immortality – an incorruptible body. Death will vanish. Sickness will vanish. Every trouble over.
But if you are a Serpent Seed, you have a limited time, Any moment from now, My romance with you is over. By My romance, I mean My love, My care, My compassion, My long-suffering. All will be over because I will allow you to take them as a witness against yourself that I have shown you favour as a creature handed over to Me.
Page 65.^{10 [17]}I want you to know what that grace is so that you will not kill yourself. There is no grace greater that what you are hearing now that you will live and know this GOD very well.
Is it not amazing grace? Do you not know that there were people who had died before you, without knowing who this God is. How many people are worshipping the God they know? In the world today, throughout the whole world, how many are worshipping the God they know?
They are all worshipping imaginary gods. Even the pagans and the idol they worship. Have they seen it? All, imaginary. You are the only people that are worshipping the Living God in a living form. The God that has mouth and speaks, moves about, that is taking pains in teaching His own people so as to justify the promise that the people of God must have Him in person for their Teacher.
REFERENCE: John 6:45, AMP. ⁴⁵It is written in [the book of] the Prophets, And they shall all be taught of God [have Him in person for their Teacher]. Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me-
He would not teach you as spirits somewhere? All these people that are feeding from the websites, are they not feeding from the same fountain? Do not allow them to condemn you in the end, for unto you God first appeared to take for Himself a people.
Do you not know that any stream that is considered far is very close to some people?
Look at My daughter who said that if not for one thing that she will not go back and that you do not know what you are enjoying by worshipping in the presence of God.
Until you go to a distant land where you live alone, and you will be listening to the Messages from the tape alone, you sing praises alone and you pray alone, you may not understand what we are saying.
Check how you feel when you are in your own house, with your children and all that lived with you in your house. Was it easy for you? As you are there, you were not comfortable. You will feel as if you do not know what you are doing. You will feel abandoned.
The only time you will feel at home is whenever you get the Message from this Source. When the Message gets to you, only then will you feel relaxed.
Maybe you do not know that as I am talking to you now, I do not care about the level of faith that Pastor may have, all their members including that Pastor, they are waiting for you here. If we dismiss, they are anxiously waiting to get the Message – all of them!
See our Pastor who left for Nsukka. He has reached his home. What was his consolation? It is that by and by, the Message will reach him today. So, he must be in the Fellowship. “By and by, it must reach me today.”
Yesterday, he was recording outside. Today, while on the way, the Message is still on. Now that he is at home, he is waiting for it.
But the true Seed of the devil has no need for the Message. Even if he receives the Message file from you in his phone, he will not download it. Even if he finally downloads it, he does not listen to it.
Even if he plays the Message, he will leave it by the window and walk away. The Message will be playing at the backyard while he is in the front of the house.
What I am telling you is the truth. He will be playing the Message as if it is entertainment. He can abandon it here and go to Afia Oye to make some purchases.
Page 47. ¹⁸Jeremiah 4:22. “For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are Sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to doevil, but to do good they have no knowledge.” KJV.
Put it down! People that are wise and quick in doing evil, but they can never do the things of God with speed and precision. Quick in evil practices.
Page 70. ²⁴James 2:19. “Do you still think it’s enough just to believe that there is one God? Well, even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror”.
²⁵Mark5:7. “When he saw Jesus from a distance he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, what do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most-High God? Swear to GOD that you won’t torture me!”
The devil is afraid of torture, but he is not afraid of doing wrong. He is not afraid of being in the wrong.
Page 72. ³¹Philippians 3:10. “¹⁰[For my determined purpose is] that I mayknow Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly.] AMP
What is your own determined purpose? You are quoting that of another man who made full proof of his ministry. What is your own determined purpose for serving God? Or are you serving without purpose?
If you serve purposelessly, you get nothing in return. What is your purpose for serving God and obeying His Word? Lack of purpose in serving God is the root cause of disobedience to the Word of God.
Nobody even listens to the Word of God. And nobody tells him or herself the truth. What is your purpose for serving God?
Listen to Me. Whites are listening to you in what you are reading. Fellowship has been established in diaspora. Bro Ojiakor has encountered one of them. They testified that they have created platforms for themselves in all the countries.
So be mindful of whatever you are reading here. Do not Igbonize our Message.
Page 74. ³⁵2 Timothy 2: 12 NIV. … “That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed,[Sure!!!] because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.: Amen!
SONG: [Yes I know Whom I have believed. And I’m persuaded my God is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.]
Page 79. Isaiah 43:13.⁵¹“From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can oppose what I do. No one can reverse my actions”.
Is it like that in your Scriptures? Have you known God to this extent? Do you believe what you are reading to be true? Time will tell. Time will tell. Time always will tell.
Page 80. ⁵⁹Brethren let us pay attention as He, the Al-Mursil (The Revealer) unfold the hidden secret of translation of our mortal bodies. Amen!
NUGGET: I AM THE SON OF MAN, THE SMOKING FIREWOOD, THE MAN THAT IS TROUBLING THE WHOLE WORLD. THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR! Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world. We have seen the Star. We have come to worship the King. You can now look for your position. I am there. [IT IS FINISHED, Preached on Sunday 16th Septemver 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha, Pg. 87 vs. 47]
I preserved My Word that you will not perish. And I want to remind you to always put your Brethren in remembrance. Do not be negligent of it, that they might be always established in the present truth.
You do not need to climb a mountain to get a Message or go to the valley to download a Message. The Message is already stored. It is finished.
Page 86. ⁵IF HE IS NOT DIVINELY INCARNATED, HE CANNOT COME TO YOU, AND YOU CANNOT GO TO HIM. IT THEN MEANS YOU ARE TOTALLY LOST. Sure!!! The Grail Message highlighted it even more.
⁶…. For I am the oldest man that live here on earth. ⁷There has never been any generation that came here that I never appeared, but in different forms and in different names.⁸The name you are calling me now is because I happen to be drawn from the Igbo extraction. True or false?
Have we read the ancient manuscripts before I handled the Message? But today, it has been confirmed to be true. Then, who do you think I am?
If I am not what I said I am, who do you think I am? Do you know Me more than I know Myself? Can you tell Me who I am? Nobody knows Me more than I know Myself. That’s all!
⁹Assuming I was drawn from the Hausa extract, I must answer Hausa name. After all, name is accident of birth.
Name is what? Accident of birth. Do you believe it? If you are born in Yoruba land, you will answer Yoruba Name.
Page 90. ²¹I wanted to show you another side of the Son of Man, that I am the self-existing One who worships Himself.
What? I wanted to show you another side of the Son of Man, that I am the self-existing One who worships Himself.
²⁴You cannot bypass Him to God. He is higher than any God you can imagine. You must cling to Christ for eternal life, for outside Him there is no life eternal.
If anyone doubts it, the person will [with his or her own eyes] see the manifestation.
Page 99. ⁵GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING page 42 verse 10-11 preached on 20th April 2003.^[10]Sometimes, I look at some brethren. Tell me the type of battle you think Saint Paul fought. He was fighting a battle in his day, but what was that battle? The greatest battle, if there was any, is the one you bring upon yourself, which is the battle of unbelief. That’s all.
Unbelief! Disobedience! Disobedience to the Word of God. That is the basis of wrong doings. All evil characters emanate from there simply because you do not believe in God. That is the source of lies, all forms of abominations and evil heart. If you had believed that God exists and also believe in His Word, all these attributes are what He is.
Page 100. ⁷Page 51 verse 35, “³⁵Sin is unbelief and always heavy. It leaves a man or a woman in a confused state. Once sin enters your heart [which is unbelief], you will be limping between two opinions, you do not know whether you are right or wrong, you will be querying many things and you will be thinking that the former is better than the latter because you are no longer sure of what you are doing. Doubt has set in, faith has vanished.
That is it. Confusion! You must be confused before you can be deceived. And confusion is from the devil. Once he confuses you, deception has set in. Indecision has set is.
NOBODY IS DECEIVED UNTIL HE IS CONFUSED. Put it down! NOBODY IS DECEIVED UNTIL HE IS CONFUSED. THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION IS THE DEVIL. CONFUSE HIM, AND DECEIVE HIM. CD!
Page 112.⁹IS YOUR TICKET VALID AND OKAY, Page 79 verse 4-6 preached on 22nd September 2019. “WE HAVE A COMMON ENEMY WE SHOULD COLLECTIVELY FIGHT AND WHAT IS THAT COMMON ENEMY? UNBELIEF!
^10[4]You leave your enemy and fight your Brother and fight your Sister.
^11[5]OUR COMMON ENEMY IS THAT THING WHICH WILL HINDER US FROM RE-UNITING WITH GOD IN PARADISE,[Amen!!!] AND FROM REALIZINGGOD‟S PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE. WHAT IS THAT COMMON ENEMY? UNBELIEF, NO MATTER WHERE IT IS FOUND.
Page 110.^{29 [33]}They refused to believe the Lord our God who had led them all the way, and had selected the best places for them to camp, and had guided them by a pillar of fire at night and a pillar of cloud during the day. ³⁰“Well, the Lord heard their complaining and was very angry. He vowed that not one person in that entire generation would live to see the good land he had promised their fathers, (Deuteronomy 1:31-35, LB.)
Have we performed better than them? Have we performed better than them?
³⁶Unbelief diverts your heart from God.[Sure!!!] Note that unbelief is when you refuse to believe that which you do not want to believe in spite of infallible proofs, and unquestionable demonstrations displayed by God. … Others will believe, but you would not believe. … Unbelief is another way of challenging God’s authority. Sure!!!
Competition! Strife! A servant is competing and striving with his master. A slave is now greater than the master. A servant is greater than the master.
He that is created is now greater than the Creator. A created being has wielded power and authority so much that he wants God to come out and wrestle with him. Who are you?
Very soon, we will not remember these things except those who will go to hell. All that are heading to Paradise will never remember Fellowship.
SONG: [I know there is another Fellowship in Heaven. I know there is another Fellowship in Heaven.] That’s all!
That place, Alleluia will be our heavenly language, for we will worship God together in the Hebrew language. One language! One song! I have another home. I have another home in view.
SONG: [I have another home in view, in view. I have another home in view. My Saviour has promised to provide the abode. I have another home in view, in view.]
In My Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would not have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you, after which I will come back here again, take you to Myself, that wherever I am, there you shall be. Comfort one another with these promises.
And many are longing for His coming, not knowing that He has been romancing, eating and drinking, preparing a people for Himself over the years.

Unbelief is a big sickness. When the Word is made Flesh, that Flesh represents the Deity. In every age, The Deity must be made known in the Flesh and all that will attain the perfect stature of the Deity must place their eyes upon the First born. There must be a First born among the people. Somebody must be perfected so that He will strengthen His Brethren. Somebody must be converted so that He will strengthen His Brethren and all that want to be strengthened, that have placed their eyes upon Him, Being the first fruit of them that were converted, The Deity is in Him

It is more expensive to live in error

THE AWFUL IMPLICATIONS OF UNBELIEF dated 16th November, 2020.Page 113.³⁷Why is God going to unleash mayhem upon the inhabitants of the earth?[Yes!] Is it not because of unbelief? Disobedient to His word? Unbelief hardens a man’s heart against God and His word. Sure!!!

³⁸Brethren, unbelief is never a cheap commodity. It is more expensive and demanding than it pays.
³⁹… “A foolish man is the one that discovers his error and continues in it. What? “A foolish man is the one that discovers his error and continues in it. It is better you do not discover it and perish, than to discover your error and continue to live in error.
⁴⁰Always have it at the back of your mind that it is more, more expensive to live in error than to correct an error. That is pure truth! It is cheaper to correct an error than to live in error.
⁴¹If you know that thing which is wrong in you, I know that which is wrong in my life, it is better we correct it.
Whatever we are spending or expending or forfeiting by correcting it is nothing to be compared to the eternal punishment that awaits us. …
It is more expensive to live in error than to live in the right.
… If we refuse to correct that errors and carry it to the judgment throne. Who will bail us out there?
We will suffer more when you live in error than when you live in the right. Your regrets will be endless if you continue to live in error.
You will never have joy all the days of your life. You will not have peace. And you will not have progress. You lose friendship with God, and then lose your soul in hellfire, for continuing to live in error.
Remember, the errors of trillions of years can be corrected today. It can be corrected by one decision. And it does not take a millennium to make a decision that will bring about a total change in your life and in your future.
⁴²Whatever it will cost you to get rid of unbelief in your heart, in your family, is nothing to be compare to eternal punishment in Hell fire.
Page 117. ⁴⁷Brethren have you seen that unbelief is stubborn refusal to believe the truth that has been revealed to you? Stubborn refusal! Stubborn refusal!
How do we know that you have refused to believe? Is it not by your willful disobedience? When you cannot put it into action, how then do you claim to be one of us.
We know ourselves through our faith in Christ manifesting in our belief in the way we handle our affairs and the affairs of others in the fear of God.
Lie not one to another, for you are Brethren. Have you not read it? Then if your mouth is still filled with lies and subtlety, what makes you one of us? How can I admit you?
I do not know when you are telling Me the truth, and I do not know when you are telling Me lies. Then, you have become a habitual liar, making you a child of the devil.
Page 117.⁴⁸… ⁵⁸THERE IS NO DISEASE DEADLIER THAN UNBELIEF. THE WORST SIN [AND] THE WORST DESTROYER IS UNBELIEF. LACK OF FAITH LEADS TO UNBELIEF.
Page 119.^{55 [5]}The Son of Man has pushed UNBELIEF AWAY. IF THERE IS UNBELIEF, IT IS IN YOUR FAMILY, NOT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST; NOT IN THE FAMILY OF GOD. … Did we read it last night?
…UNBELIEF IS NOTHING BUT DETACHING YOURSELFFROM THE BODY OFCHRIST,… That is the title of the Message we considered – DETACHING YOURSELF FROM CHRIST LEADS STRAIGHT TO HELLFIRE AND INTO ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.
^{56 [30]}“What is it? A type of tribulation. Who will go through the tribulation? It is those Elect who because of their unbelief…
Are they Elect? According to God’s foreknowledge? Are they going to tribulation? The answer is yes. Because of unbelief. Were they children of God in the wilderness? Yes. Was He pleased with them? No. Why? Because of unbelief.
…Who will go through the tribulation? It is those Elect who because of their unbelief could not abide in the promised comforter’s ministry”…
Is it not contained in the Grail Message by Abdrushin? Were they not the people that volunteered to work with Him as co-laborers in the Vineyard? Did they abide? They were swallowed up by the things of the world.
And when they sat down, they started backstabbing THE SON OF MAN. And there, they ended their journey and proceeded to hell.
They came from heaven, but they ended it going to hell to join with the devil who deceived them. You will know who the devil is very soon.
Page 120.⁵⁷… Unbelief comeS as a result of you believing in your opinion[Sure!!!] or on what people say instead of on what Christ says. …
Page 123.⁶⁴Brethren we can see the consequences of unbelief and why God had been hammering on it. Therefore, make sure you get rid of any figment of unbelief in your heart or else the promised immortality will elude you.
What is the topic we are considering? AWFUL IMPILICATIONS OF UNBELIEF.
Page 125. ⁶⁸The Prophet William Branham said in the message “UNBELIEF DOES NOT HINDER GOD”. Thus, “Unbelief does not hinder God. Unbelief does not destroy God. It does not destroy His plan. It does not destroy His works. It only destroys the unbeliever. unbelief only destroy the unbeliever.”Sure!!!
In another message, ‘PROVING HIS WORD’ preached on 16th August, 1964 by William Branham,… How many of you here were born that year 1964?
…He said, “Unbelief doesn’t stop God. It doesn’t hinder Him. I don’t care how much the world unbelieves. It’s still going to happen. Unbelief doesn’t do nothing but condemns the unbeliever. The unbelief will send the unbeliever to Hell.
It’ll rob him of every blessing God promised to him,[Amen!] but it doesn’t hinder God from going right on with the believer.” Good!
⁷⁰… IS THERE ANYTHING GOOD IN UNBELIEF? There is no gain or value in unbelief. The only thing an unbeliever gainS from unbelief is God’s wrath, anger and judgment.
Page 132. ^{80 1}Deuteronomy 29:18-22, Amplified version. ¹⁸Beware…What? Beware! We have heard “Beware, lest there be any heart of unbelief in you from departing from the true God and you begin to give your allegiance to the gods of this world, which you know are the things eyes can see, heart will imagine, mouth will eat and speak,… Content creator!…the fashions of this world that fade away, with its competition thereof. Amen and Amen and Amen!
⁸⁵… In the wilderness, instead of continuing, unbelief set in. Did God spare them? … No!
⁸⁹… I WILL NO LONGER DESTROY HUMAN BEINGS I CREATED. HUMAN BEINGS WILL NOW DESTROY THEMSELVES. How? Through unbelief. Through unbelief.
⁹³HAVE FAITH IN THE SPOKEN WORD, page 66 verse 42, preached on 14th July 2013 “^[42]There is no contagious disease more dreadful than unbelief ⁹⁴If you are found in unbelief, you have lost your entire family,…We equally heard it yesterday. Unbelief is a very infectious disease. It is very contagious. And it spreads faster than anything else.
Page 142.⁹⁷The only thing that will separate you from the Godhead is unbelief, wrong behaviour, when you are no longer fixing your eyes upon Christ; you are no longer seeing Him as your Leader and your Instructor Whom you are bound to obey by day and by night. This is because He that called Him, called Him alone. He did not call Him and called you. He called Him, and the Man (the Anointed One) then called you.
His completed obedience to His Father’s will made Him the Author of eternal life to them that will believe. He first of all, obeyed the Father – completed obedience.
⁹⁸1 John 5:4 KJV “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THATOVERCOMETH THE WORLD EVEN OUR FAITH.” Our faith! What we are hearing here can never be heard anywhere among the worldly churches. Who is that teacher? Who is that pastor, when they are already resting? They are now in the coolers.
Even the preachers are tired of going to churches. They are now in the business of money pursuit. It is now POS, microfinance bank, Babalawo [Native doctor]and then dancing.
Church bands are up for hire everywhere as if it is now the source of food. Everything that belongs to the churches is now for commercialization. Content creators who after creating his contents will come to the church to perform and teach members of the church with his bag hanging behind him.
⁹⁹We are living in an age of unbelief, an age that decreed God out of their lives. What?
⁹⁹We are living in an age of unbelief, an age that decreed God out of their lives. … Like the son of Elijoe. He does not have any need for God.
…THE ONLY CONQUERING POWER THAT BRINGS UNBELIEF TO ITS KNEES IS OUR FAITH IN CHRIST,[Sure!!!]YOUR OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD WHICH IS CHRIST.
^107[65]HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE INCORRUPTIBLE WORD OF GOD? THE ONLY THING THAT IS ABLE TO PURIFY YOUR HEART, SANCTIFY YOUR HEART,… And establish you in the truth.
^{108 66}BUT RESIST THEM, THEY WILL TURN OUT TO BE YOUR DEATH. ¹⁰⁹Brethren on this note, I said remain bless in him eternally. Amen and Amen And Amen!
Is anybody in doubt as to whether God is still with us or not? I decided to sit down here quietly and listen to this Message, for I know it is going to bring a revival in the hearts of all that will hear the Message. It is going to bring a revival, a new spiritual re-awakening. I know that for sure.
I thank God for the reader. How I wish he will go home, take the tape and listen to it. That will help him more than any other thing.
Oftentimes, we do not understand what we are reading or what we are preaching until we listen to it.
We are not dismissing. We have come back to our home. I say, we have come back to our home.
Pastor Chizoba! Go to the pulpit and summarize. We may finish it. We may not finish it. Go there to summarize.

To enable human beings see Him, He placed a staircase, a Ladder they will follow and get to Him at the top. What is more? The Ladder is no other person than the Link between the Heaven and the Earth. That is the Human Veil! For that reason, He veiled Himself in a Man so that in Him, the Father shall be revealed. Elohim, the invisible God, was invisible to the world, but visible to His own. …….. Do you understand what we are saying? Who are we testifying about? It is He that is revealed in the midst of the Bride. The ways of God are too high and they passeth all human understanding. Now I know that He revealeth Himself to whosoever He willeth.

I AM THE LADDER TO HEAVEN; Preached on Sunday 9^th June 2013 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 51 vs. 56 – 59

Resist the devil and he will flee from you

The Message we have here is titled, RESISTING THE DEVIL… What? RESISTING THE DEVIL… Which is unbelief. You can resist it. When you resist the devil, he will flee from you.
But the more you say welcome, he will come with demons. He will come with legion and possess you like Okwuchukwu Elijoe who is always porous because he has refused to pray and you have refused to study.
What then is in you that will resist the devil if not the accumulation of the Word of God in your life which builds inner strength in you.
This is the same thing killing FearGod. If you tell him to go and pray for himself, he will go there, lie down and sleep. With Okwuchukwu, it is the same thing.
Look at the way you disgraced yourself before people from far and near. They have left with the poor impressions you created for yourselves and your families. You cannot discredit My Family. You discredit yourselves.
RESISTING THE DEVIL (Family Altar Message) Preached on 17^th April 2020 at The Voice of God Studio, Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe, Anambra State, Nigeria by Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN, The Twelfth Imam.
The twelfth Imam, which is Christ. The Twelfth Imam, which is Christ. Is it not the Holy Qur’an? Thank you!
Chapter 1 verse 11. ¹¹NOBODY KNOWS WHO IS A SEED OF GOD BY PHYSICAL APPEARANCE. CHILDREN OF GOD ARE IDENTIFIED BY THEIR CHARACTERS. THOSE THAT PROCEEDED FROM THE DEVIL ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGH THEIR CHARACTERS.
That is why in that illustration in the Bible, given by Jesus Christ, the servants pleaded with their master [the householder] to allow them to go and uproot the tares which the enemy had planted among the wheat in the night when they had gone to sleep after the toiling of the day.
Then the master said, “No! You should not uproot yet because if you go by sight, you may end up uprooting the main plant.” This is because when you look at the main plant, when they are coming up, sometimes you may not even know what to call them, but at the maturity stage, every one of them will be identified by its characteristics.
³³And for the sake of such people, we lift up a very high standard, making the Camp very very uncomfortable and unbearable for such people, so that they will exercise their freewill option by resigning.
³⁴Alternatively, if they do not want to resign from the Faith and go away, seeing they could not adjust their nature contrary, they now stay in our midst harmless and frustrated until the day God [after patient endurance] will destroy them together with the devil who is their father, for God can never take anything that does not belong to Him.
³⁵I was reading it in the Holy Quran yesterday. It said, “Never call an adopted child your son. Call him by his name or then a me of the parents from where you adopted him. Is that not Scripture? The Holy Qur’an.
REFERENCE: The Holy Quran – Surah 33 [Al Ahzab: The Confederates] verse 4 through 5, Yusuf Ali Translation.⁴Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body: nor has He made your wives whom ye divorce by Zihar your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths. But Allah tells (you) the Truth, and He shows the (right) Way.⁵Call them by (the names of) their fathers: that is juster in the sight of Allah. But if ye know not their father´s (names, call them) your Brothers in faith, or your maulas. But there is no blame on you if ye make a mistake therein: (what counts is) the intention of your hearts: and Allah is OftReturning, Most Merciful.
Hilali-Khan Translation.⁴Allah has not put for any man two hearts inside his body. Neither has He made your wives whom you declare to be like your mothers’ backs, your real mothers. [Az-Zihâr is the saying of a husband to his wife, “You are to me like the back of my mother” i.e. You are unlawful for me to approach.], nor has He made your adopted sons your real sons. That is but your saying with your mouths. But Allah says the truth, and He guides to the (Right) Way. ⁵Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allah. But if you know not their father’s (names, call them) your brothers in faith and Mawâlîkum (your freed slaves). And there is no sin on you if you make a mistake therein, except in regard to what your hearts deliberately intend. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
³⁶Nurture him and give him everything but do not ever make a mistake of calling your slave you purchase with money, your son or your daughter. …
I wrote it in the letter I gave to late Papa, the Onitsha man, Kelechi Uwakwe’s landlord, that Elder, where I settled that dispute. Elder Ofodile!
On reading that letter and My quotations, he disowned the two young men he purchased with money, who came to disgrace him, for they became criminals, bringing into the family lifestyles the man never lived. He handed them over for prosecution. Adults he adopted because he had no child.
³⁶Nurture him and give him everything but do not ever make a mistake of calling your slave you purchase with money, your son or your daughter. … Do not try it.
… Tell the whole world you bought the slave with money, for that which belongs to you must bear your name and must take your character along.”
³⁷He said that your adopted child can never take your character, for he does not have your blood. … Was it not one of the problems of My late friend? He said, “Now, he is bearing My name. What do I do?”
I told him, “Strip it off him! This is because you are joining your ancestors o. Since you know he cannot represent your family, he is not even drawn from your lineage in any form or shape, do not wait a second. Strip him off the name. One way! It is better you have your ladies [females] who are mothers bearing your name than to have that idiot.”
God knew all these things ahead of time. That is why anybody who is doing adoption is encouraging slavery. Slave trade that was abolished in the days of John Hawkins. You are engaging in child trafficking, buying human beings with money. Is it not what it means?
Go and sell your own to somebody else since you think it is good. Where is the smallest baby we have. Bro Chizoba! Tell Me how much a man can give to you. Let your wife go and sell. The house will go up in flames until she retrieves the child.
That is what we are saying. The whole world will gather till you bring that child back. Possess your possession so that I possess my own possession. Do you not understand what we are saying?
Never make the mistake of adopting any child from any home on the basis of paying money and a human being will be given to you. Do not ever try it.
There was one that adopted the first one and the child turned out to be an imbecile. The same person adopted a second one, and the child also turned out to be an imbecile. These are babies brought by church people – reverend fathers and sisters.
Are you shouting, does the adoptive parent know the biological parents of the baby. How come that a child born to a mad woman is retrieved and sold to another person?
Tell me someone in his right senses that will go to all these people that were assembled in Our Lady’s Bread at Nkpor-Agu– Do you not know where I am talking about? DO you not know the type of people that are there.
They built a hostel for them where mad men impregnate mad women. And the babies are carried to Immaculate Heart Nkpor where people collect subscription forms, fill the forms, and pay.
Some pay one million naira. Some pay two million naira. They pay between one point five million to two million naira for male children. The male children whose biological parents are known go for up to five million naira. Do you not see it being televised in the television?
They have gotten to the level of mobilizing school girls, arranging for the men that will impregnate them so that wholesome children will be produced. The people that purchased such children are now having problems.
When parents discover that their daughter was pregnant when she left their house, they will surely go and retrieve the baby thereof. They must bring back the baby.
The one My cousin sold in Aba, the saving grace she had was that the day they went to retrieve the baby was the day the baby died. And the child was a boy. And that girl is Vita’s relation.
She was in school and fell into the hands of those traffickers in Aba. We heard about it and then set traps. The day they went to bring her back. Boys from My village went into searching and discovered her. They planned on how to bring her back with the police, but when they got there, the baby boy had died.
Evil is best revealed so that the living will know what evil is all about and run for his or her dear life. That is what God is doing, showing you characters of unbelievers hiding in our midst. They all have different motives.
Believe this Message, RESISTING THE DEVIL. It is highlighting what we heard from morning till now. Do you understand what we are talking about. We are talking about “Unbelief, unbelief”. The source is the devil and things like that. Who are those unbelievers? They are among you.
I heard the quote from the holy Qur’an from where we took off, RESISTING THE DEVIL. Do not ever joke with it. Even if you are involved, all you have to do is kneel down and pray. Say, “God please change my nature.” If you are sincere and repent, God will adopt you. I am telling you the whole truth. do we not sing it in our song?
SONG: [There’s not a friend like the lowly Saviour. No, not one. No, not one. No sinner comes that he will not take Him. No not one. No, not one.
My God knows all about my struggles. He will guide till the day is dawn. There is not a friend like the lowly Saviour. No, not one. No, not one.]
Run to God, for He said that whoever that comes to Me, I will in no wise cast away when God will see your struggle. He will see your struggle because He said, “Struggle to get rid of unbelief.” To change your nature is a struggle to break that family order, community spirit, family spirit, idolatrous spirit, covetous spirit.
Let me mention it now. It is just like the members of Agbom family of Ezza Ndiagu or Ezza Ndiuno. Once you are named after Agbom’s family, what is named there is the worst idolater.
What makes them idolaters? They are highly covetous. Money! And because of that money, it leads them to idols – naked idols. They do not see anything wrong with going to idols. They go to idols just like people go for morning and evening mass.
And wherever this type of spirit and covetousness is found, their mouth are filled with lies, hypocrisies of all sorts they use against other people.
So, if you are from Agbom’s family or have anything to do with Agbom, know that you have a big problem.
You must break it through prayers and through strong dedication to God. First, you must resent it. You must cast it away from your heart with a vow, “I have seen where these people are going. I will never walk in that way. God will help me. Nothing will ever make me to follow these people in their ways. If it will take my life, let it take my life.”
That is where trouble starts. If it is in your family, struggle to come out of it. God must see your efforts as struggle before He will help you. And that is when He sees that you really hate it.
If you want to come out, you need a Redeemer. You need a Saviour because you cannot save yourself. And if you find Him, He will come your way. What I am telling you is the truth.
It is not something you get as a churchgoer. Rather, as you remain a churchgoer, so it worsens. Anybody who tell you that evil can be fought and removed through going to church, tell the person that it is a lie. Who had ever removed it through going to church? What you are doing is that you are using going to church as a coverup so that people will call you a churchgoer so that wherever you go and speak, you will be accepted.
You become Okey Ibe who covered his evil with church and God unveiled it and he is now dying of shame. I heard from the horse’s mouth. Sister Faith who is his wife told us that he will be coming down and I told her to come in her name because of the money his son stole, and the amount is up to five million naira.
She has signed the agreement with the man so that her son will not be killed. To avoid the death of her son, she has quickly taken him with her to Nasarawa State. She has now helped him to secure a security job in Nasarawa. She is now with her three children.
Her first son she is training in ANSU [Anambra State University, Uli] will also go back to Nasarawa as soon they close for the semester.
Okey is now left here because Okey does not have a dime in his account with which to start the repayment of the money stolen by his son. Meanwhile, the whole money was remitted to Okey’s account. Okey’s account print-out confirmed all the transactions.
The man [that is master of Okey’s son] said that if not for God, he would have killed Okey, for he is using church to deceive people in the textile section of the market. He then vowed to make it very difficult for Okey in that textile section of the market.
This is for you to see what they are doing. You can never abandon this Faith without embracing the devil. You will go back to your old nature. You will even be worse than your beginning.
Throughout the period we were with him when he was still in the faith, did we ever hear that he was a thief? But today, you can hear what is happening.
John Abazie is the one that was know to be a thief where he went to sell oil in Aba and later went back to steal the same oil he had sold. He stole the oil and was also a part of the people looking for the stolen oil.
He was later caught and was beaten into the gutter and the people were already carrying the fuel with which to set him ablaze.
If not for Deacon Vin and Dan Chukwuemeka, the husband of Sister Florence. Dan Chukwuemeka is a brother to John Abazie. They met him. People were already with the fuel they were to use in setting him ablaze inside the gutter. You can begin to imagine what would become of his wife and child.
YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE THIS FAITH AND GET ON WITH LIFE VERY WELL. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED. Go And check what that person is doing. The person is just existing in a name.
The fellow is just pretending to be what he is not. The person is just stealing from here and there, after which he will run away. The person goes to a city and dupes people and will run away to another city. Such a fellow can never tell you where they are living.
Why am I raising this matter? I am highlighting all these things. I heard while I was upstairs, “These bad elements are living in our families.” We are living with them in our families.
As we keep on highlighting these people’s character, you will know who we are talking about, and you will know how to follow that person. Otherwise, his aim is to get you into trouble with God. Have you not realized it?
The Bible said, “An evil man does not rest until he has brought trouble upon innocent souls.” He does not rest until he has brought trouble upon those who are innocent. That is how you know an evil man and an evil woman.
God is teaching us and highlighting all these things so that we will know that evil people have their characteristics and the children of God have their own.
As a child of God, you should know your character. if by now, you do not know what your character is all about, you are a devil and you do not know it.
A devil masquerades himself, but character exposes him. True or false? the difference between God and devil is character. Whatever you say you believe, the devil also believes it.
If you sing, the devil will sing more than you. The devil features in the pulpit. He is in the Mosque. When he dances, he dances more than everybody.
When he prays, heavens will come down, but there is no truth in all he is doing. these are all pretences he is just using as a cover until he gets what he wants.
This is just the pure explanation of what we read. I said, “Go and summarize.” Is that not what I said? Use it and summarize.

We thank God for what He is doing in our day, more especially the appearance of the Son of Man. The Son of Man has appeared but He will not take us home immediately for He has a work to do. Maybe we do not know the meaning of the Son of Man; I say may be! If we know the meaning of Son of Man, then we can now look for His Ministry. Believe it if you can, the Son of Man has a Ministry. The Bible said, “God judgeth no man, but has committed judgment into the hands of His Dear Son, the Son of Man. Thus, Christ, the Son of Man forgives all manner of sins, that it might be known and believed that the Son of Man has the power to forgive all sins.” In the Ministry of the Son of Man, when He appears on the scene, the Bible said that He is going to separate the goat from the sheep……

THE SON OF MAN

CHANGE YOUR HEART AND MIND; Preached on Thursday 31^st October 1997 at the Household of God Abuja; Pg. 8 vs. 1 – 3

THE WORD OF GOD CALLS FOR TOTAL SEPARATION FROM UNBELIEF [1]

RESISTING THE DEVIL, Page 27 from verse 37. ³⁷He said that your adopted child can never take your character, for he does not have your blood. … Yes!!! A slave you purchased with money will never take your character, for he does not have your blood, but your teaching, your instruction is what will help them to be loyal to you. That is all. We read it yesterday in the Holy Qur’an.
Page 28 verse 39. ³⁹Every true seed of God, whether he likes it or not, must behave like God and must act like Christ. Amen!!!
Do you know that all the children of God belong to one blood group. They all belong to one spiritual blood group and one spiritual genotype, for they came from one tree, whether male or female.
For that reason, God said, “Live your lives among yourselves. Reproduce among yourselves. Do not go out and bring strangers.”
Look at Dinah, the daughter of Jacob who strayed away. God queried, “Why did you go out to a heathen nation to bring this trouble upon us. Is it because there are no males in the twelve tribes of Israel that you could wander away?” You see where the crime lies?
That is why we have to be very very careful. Do not mis-mate with the heathens. Is it not in your Bible there? Do not mis-mate with the heathens. Do not! Do not intermarry with the heathens. Do not even have friendship or relationship with any of them. You check your Scriptures.
When you join yourself with the heathen, you become a heathen. Join yourself with a prostitute, you become one with a prostitute. Join yourself with Christ, you become one body with Christ.
REFERENCES: [1]2 Corinthians 6:14, RSV. Do not be mis-mated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
[2] 1 Corinthians 6:16-17, RSV. ¹⁶Do you not know that he who joins himself with a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written “The two shall become one flesh”. ¹⁷But He who is united to the LORD becomes one spirit with Him.
God has never condemned any Jew or any Israeli for marrying or befriending an Israeli. It has never happened. Check the concubines. They are drawn from the Common Wealth of Israel, for God to take them.
And they find no difficulty in hearing God’s Word. They are one specie. But let there be a stranger. He or she will not understand our ways.
We form the Common Wealth of Israel, and we live our lives among ourselves. Who will understand us? We understand ourselves. We know what we believe. We know what constitutes evil and what constitutes truth. We know the meaning of unbelief which the world does not know the meaning.
That is why in our talking, in our dressing, and everything we do, we aim at pleasing God. We do not aim at attracting somebody to our side.
If what attracts people to you is not your new character which is Christ, put a question mark there. The devil has put a spell on your face. The devil has put what? A spell on your face.
This is because evil attracts evil. Evil attracts evil. Evil-minded people will begin to price you. If you are a lady or a woman or whatever you may be, and you begin to see heathens around, pause and think. You have misrepresented yourself. You have misrepresented yourself before them.
That is why we say, conceal your identity, and you will, be taken to captivity. You have concealed your identity like Dinah.
Page 28 from verse 39. ³⁹Every true seed of God, whether he likes it or not, must behave like God; must act like Christ. I am telling you the truth. …
Is it something you learn? Do you teach somebody how to act like Christ? You cannot teach me how to act like Christ. Do you understand what we are saying?
Can you teach all these chicks how to act like their mother [hen]. All I know is that they are chickens. The hen will carry them out. And then, they fend for food. That’s all.
If you are a true Seed of God, you do not struggle to live like God.
A goat cannot struggle to behave like a goat. Go to the backyard and see that one there. No matter how that goat befriends us or we befriend that goat, are we goats? No matter how we feed that goat, can that goat be a human being? I do not struggle to live like Christ. That’s all!
… And that is why the Bible said, he has eternal life, and he can never perish.⁴⁰Why is it that he is having eternal life? He proceeded from One who has no beginning of days and ending of days,… Is it clear? And he is going back to him.…for whatever God does is eternal. Nothing can be added nor subtracted.
⁴¹That is why the Bible said, “We proceeded from God and we are going back to God. And as many as that proceeded from God are heavenly beings here on earth. Check the bible.
Is it confirmed by Abdrushin? Is it confirmed by Elijah Muhammad? Even Prophet Muhammad Raheem confirmed it. What else do you need?
William Branham said, “Here, mortals and immortals will dwell together, and the mortals may not identify the immortals.” Heavenly beings dwelling with earthly beings.
If they do not know God, how can they know you? They do not know you because they do not know who God is. So, to them, you are one with them. Are you one with them? Something will happen, and they will know that you are not one with them.
Let Me tell you. If you are a Seed of God, no matter how you try to hide yourself, somebody will identify you. Somebody will look at you skeptically and begin to point at you, “You see this person? I do not think he is a normal human being. You see this man? He is deceiving people. He is not a human being.”
If you have not heard it, I have heard it with My ears where people were pointing at Me and telling others that I am not a human being. And they never knew I heard it until I confronted them, “Gentlemen, why are you talking about Me? AM I not like you?”
They responded, “Daddy Daddy. You deceive people a lot o. Daddy, you are not a human being. You are a human being, in that you talk and eat and drink. Daddy, you are not a normal human being. That is what we are saying. If I am not a normal human being, tell Me who I am? There, we will end the discussion.
So it is with all of you here. You act strangely. You talk strangely. Your belief is strange to the whole world. Only people that proceeded from the same Source with us acknowledge our teachings to be true and faithful.
Have you not seen what is happening? Those who are finding it difficult are those who want to test and try Him.
We are saying that nature is better than that which is acquired. If your character is not from your nature, you are learning it. It will be difficult for you. Is it a lie Brethren?
A child born of his mother and who is trained to wash plates and become a part of other domestic chores, and a little while, the child grows up with those services just in the same like Ebube came here with her own. While they were here, did she start teaching them any different thing? They mixed up immediately.
But that child who was not properly trained by his parents who dodges errands and other chores, who is lazy and hypocritical, there is no place the child will go without having problem. This is because the child has a hypocritical nature.
When you send that child on an errand, he will either hide under the chair or hide away completely and with his mouth filled with lies with all forms of craftiness. When that child bows down, his brain is telling him the next thing to do simply because he has seen what is beyond him.
No matter how long sheep and goat had stayed together, sheep is different from the goat. Am I making sense? They eat the same food and also live in the same house. They both belong to the same owner. Goat is different from sheep. Sheep is different from goat.
Page 29 verse 42. ⁴²These are the manifestations in this end time. What are we expecting in this end time? Sons and daughters of God manifesting themselves and showcasing to the whole world that they are a peculiar people. What? They are in the world of their own. Unusual people!
… No matter what happens, they can never be influenced away from what they know to be truth. Sure!!!
⁴³WHOEVER THAT IS EASILY INFLUENCED AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, HE HAS NEVER BEEN A PART OF THE TRUTH, FOR IF HE HAS BEEN A PART OF THE TRUTH, NOBODY CAN INFLUENCE HIM AWAY. YOU ARE TRUTH YOURSELF.
⁴⁴Christ is the truth, the way and life. Can anything make Christ to be false[Impossible!] or to be what he is not?[No!] So, you must be what you are, and I must be what I am. Did you get the Message?
⁴⁵So every day, we are highlighting what Christ demands from all of us so that sheep will stop mingling with goat,… So that what? sheep will stop mingling with goat, thereby learning the goat’s way of life.
This is to tell the goat that we now know who he is. The situation now calls for calmly relating with the goat patiently with love.
⁴⁶You know who you are because the aim of the devil is to make you to act contrary to the truth so that God will no longer be happy with you.
⁴⁷And the moment God ceases to be happy with you, if you do not make haste and find your way back and the door is closed against you, your life is in danger. Let us be very, very careful especially as we journey along. Amen!!!
All these Messages that we have been handling today, My wife was alive and heard all of them. And they helped her to a very large extent to make sure there is no mistake along the way.
Page 32. NUGGET:⁵³Nothing gives joy more than one recognizing that he is fulfilling the positive side of the Word of God. What? Nothing gives joy more than one recognizing that he is fulfilling the positive side of the Word of God. … Does it give you joy? Does it give you joy?
… Once you are on the right side of God, on the positive side of God, rejoice exceedingly. Amen!!! You had better know your position, for you must know where you are going to. ……
⁵If you are a part of God, you are also a part of what God is doing in your day. … True or false? If you are a part of your family, you are also part of the activities of your family. Sure!!! Is it not true?
⁶If God is your father, are you not a part of His programme, everybody playing his own role in his own way. It is incontestable! We received the same calling, playing the same role or different roles. [THE BASIS OF OUR REJOICING IN CHRIST; Preached on 10^th July 2011; Pg. 137 vs. 53 & Pg. 158 vs. 5 – 6]
The ceremony is over today. Am I making sense? A new spiritual re-awakening has started now. A revival that will never die down until shortly we go away.
Last minute cleansing is what we are receiving now. Last minute cleansing. If you do not tidy up your life now, I do not know what will become of you [I mean] the next time.
Page 33. DEDICATE AND RE-DEDICATE YOUR LIFE CONTINUALLY. Can you see it? Can you see it? Why not write it down in your jotters. Do not allow the devil trick you into thinking that you have known everything.
We are not preaching a new Message. We are putting ourselves in remembrance of the Messages of the hour so that nobody will be trailing behind. We will be established constantly in the present truth.
You are serving a present tense God. One that is worshipping God in his own house, does the person develop waist pain?
¹Noah was a righteous man. Only Noah was found to be faithful in all his ways during his own generation. Is it not scripture? …
REFERENCE: Genesis 6:8-9, AMP.⁸But Noah found grace (favour) in the eyes of the Lord. ⁹This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a just and righteous man, blameless in his [evil] generation; Noah walked [in habitual fellowship] with God.
^[8]But Noah was a pleasure to the Lord. Here is the story of Noah: ^[9-10]He was the only truly righteous man living on the earth at that time. He tried always to conduct his affairs according to God’s will.
²Now watch. One day Noah went to the vineyard. After cultivating his vineyard, he drank the fruit of the vine drink or vine alcohol. Noah got intoxicated, came home and was lying down naked.
³The first son came and saw the nakedness of the father who was weak and supposedly drunk from the vine, and laughed and laughed and laughed, went and invited his friends to come and see the nakedness of his father instead of covering him.
And they were clapping hands. Animals!
⁴The second son came, watched the thing and got offended. He pushed the first son aside, chased his friends away and used wrapper and covered the father. Sure!!!
⁵They thought the father was asleep and drunk. They never knew the man was wide awake with all his senses. Correct!
⁶They never knew Noah was the veil Jehovah used to veil Himself,… Amen! Amen! Amen! Noah was what? The veil! God was hiding Himself in a man called Noah.
…for He was the Source of salvation in his day. If you are ridiculing a God-Man, you are ridiculing God, the Saviour and the Messiah. The only place where life existed.
… And God is the only Saviour. [Sure!!!] Without the Almighty God, there is no Saviour.
⁷So, for Noah to be a saviour, God the saviour [Christ] has to veil Himself in Noah.[Sure!!!] Immediately the second son covered the nakedness of the father, his father raised his head and smiled, “Where is your senior brother?
⁸He called and the foolish man responded. He (Noah) said, “Ok, thank you very much. I saw you and your friends admiring my nakedness. Thank you. And your junior brother came and covered my nakedness. …
The type of thing FearGod and the son of Elijoe can do. “Daddy has finished Himself in drinking. He is now naked. People come! Please come and watch Him.”
… Well, whether you like it or not, the scepter has departed from you [the eldest son]. You will be a slave to your second. You will no longer assume that position anymore.”
⁹That was the only place the Bible mentioned about the first son. But it was the Holy Qur’an that highlighted it,[Pay attention] that when they entered the ark, the foolish boy was not in the ark. At All!
He said that he has a place better than the Ark and that he will take his family to the mountain.
¹⁰The father, out of sympathy, enquired from the Almighty God and said, “Father, Almighty Allah, the most compassionate and most merciful, my first son is not in the ark.”
¹¹And Almighty God replied, “Say it not again. He is not your son. If he is your son, he would have been number one to be in the ark and then the rest of the siblings will enter.” A lesson to learn?[Sure!!!] Can you see?
REFERENCE:[THE HOLY QUR’AN: Surah 11:42 – 43, 45 – 47, 49]
⁴²So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): “O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!”⁴³The son replied: “I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water.” Noah said: “This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom He hath mercy! “And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood. …….
⁴⁵And Noah called upon his Lord, and said: “O my Lord! surely my son is of my family! and Thy promise is true, and Thou art the justest of Judges!” ⁴⁶He said: “O Noah! He is not of thy family: For his conduct is unrighteous. So ask not of Me that of which thou hast no knowledge! I give thee counsel, lest thou act like the ignorant!”⁴⁷Noah said: “O my Lord! I do seek refuge with Thee, lest I ask Thee for that of which I have no knowledge. And unless thou forgive me and have Mercy on me, I should indeed be lost!” …….
⁴⁹Such are some of the stories of the unseen, which We have revealed unto thee: before this, neither thou nor thy people knew them. So persevere patiently: for the End is for those who are righteous.
¹²So by right, Noah was blessed with four sons, but we counted the three that were saved with Noah,[Yes!] discounting that idiot who came from the treacherous one.[Sure!!!] And that was why he was mingling with idiots and sycophants anyhow. A lesson to learn? Sure!!!

Man does not know his Maker, hence you can wrestle with your Maker. That He was a man born of a woman, did that remove Him from what He is? I AM WHAT I AM. Your unbelief means nothing. It cannot change me from my position. That you know my parents, know my kindred, my wife and children, does it have any meaning? It has no meaning.

THE SON OF MAN

GOD HAS COUNTED ME WORTHY, PUTTING ME INTO THIS MINISTRY; Preached on Sunday 13^th August, 2000 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 70 vs. 4 – 5

THE WORD OF GOD CALLS FOR TOTAL SEPARATION FROM UNBELIEF [2]

Resisting the devil, Page 28 from verse 13.¹³Then we can see also Absalom,… Birds of the same feather, flock together. Content creators.…who was coveting the throne of the father even when he was not qualified, and while the father was still alive. An irate young man, that one could be blamed on David, for the Bible recorded that David failed to discipline his first son. [1 Kings 1:6] And then what happened at last?
¹⁴Look at what happened. He [Absalom] was beheaded. He died prematurely. He brought shame, disgrace and dishonor to himself and to the whole family. Sure!!!
¹⁵Hence, the name Absalom has remained quoting for those who are living today to learn their lessons.[Sure!!!] The same way we quote the first son of Noah. You see that act hindered him from eternal life. Yes!!!
¹⁶CAN SOMEBODY BE DESTROYED IN THE HOUSE OF A GODLY MAN?[Yes!!!] THE ANSWER IS YES. SO, I HAVE TO THANK GOD FOR THIS FAMILY. Amen!!!
¹⁷REMEMBER, YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU ARE TODAY. WHATEVER YOU ARE WILL BE WHAT YOU WILL PROGRESSIVELY BE. What! REMEMBER, YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU ARE TODAY. WHATEVER YOU ARE WILL BE WHAT YOU WILL PROGRESSIVELY BE. … Put your hands together for God.
¹⁸All these people [afore-mentioned], I do not know how they started but the end is what counts. Sure!!!
¹⁹That is why what we heard yesterday morning said that a wise fellow will always say, “The end of my life will be better than my beginning.”[Amen!] OR WILL EVEN BE BEST. LET IT BE BEST.
²⁰And that is why, for it to be best, you must hold on to your stand in Christ.[Amen!!!] Hold on to the profession of your Faith without wavering. Amen!!! Unto the end!
²¹And do not ever aim at making a good impression of yourself. Do the work and look up to Christ. …Finish! …This is the secret…. This is what? The secret.… And if you can maintain it, I bet you, you will get there. Amen!!!
²²I know many things that helped Me. I am the first son of My father and I never brought shame and disgrace to him. I covered his nakedness. Yes! I promoted his course.²³I made the whole world to know that there is somebody called OHAERI PETER ODOEMENA. Brethren, true or false? And I elevated the family, for righteousness exalts a nation. Sure!!!
One man that is committed into the hands of God, devoted to do God’s will can bring about a revival in the whole community. One in a million.
Do you believe it to be true? One in a million. The same way, a man can tarnish the image of a community.
²⁶So you have to dedicate and re-dedicate your life. It is a daily matter. … It is what? A daily matter. Dedicate and re-dedicate your life continually. The same way you eat every day, brush your teeth, take your bath and change your clothe, dedicate and re-dedicate your life to God on a daily basis.
… Dedicate your life and re-dedicate it. Re-dedicate continually! Continually!! Continually!!! Continually!!! ²⁷This is because at any point you stop, you will be over-taken. …The devil will overtake you.
… You will be overtaken by a force. Why is that force overtaking you? It is because you dragged your feet a little. Sure!!! ²⁷This is because at any point you stop, you will be over-taken. You will be overtaken by a force.
Why is that force overtaking you? It is because you dragged your feet a little. [Sure!!!]²⁸You were not constantly boxing and kicking. You were not advancing as you were kicking. Maybe you were standing still and kicking. You were not boxing and kicking. And advancing!
²⁹Your opponents will go away and you will remain where you are and then he will come and meet you again. No! You kick and you advance. You kick, you advance. That is conquer and occupy. Dislodge him!
³¹Chain the devil. You have to chain the devil. You chain him and then beat hell out of him. Push him out and do what? Occupy! But if you do not conquer and occupy, the devil wants to conquer you and also occupy. Today is another day.
That is why, even if it is one person in the hand of the devil, he has only but one aim: To invade the family with the wrong habit and wrong philosophy,…
Have you heard it? The aim of the devil is to invade the family with a wrong habit. A wrong influence! Be on the alert. Not just alert, but red alert.
…even if it is one person in the hand of the devil, he has only but one aim: To invade the family with the wrong habit and wrong philosophy, by introducing things that never existed and which run contrary to the truth. If you give it a breathing space, it will swallow you. That is truth!
³⁴A disobedient man in the hand of the devil infiltrated into the family of Adam and wreaked havoc that affected the whole human race. … Is it a lie Brethren? Is it a lie Brethren? A devil-possessed human being. One man found his way into the family of Adam and wreaked havoc. And his name became havoc.
… And that is why it takes also a seed from a woman, born of a woman.³⁵Christ came from a woman to wage that war.[Sure!!!] And He is winning the battle. He is winning the battle, although He is working with handpicked people. He is conquering the world. He is conquering the world.
He has already announced His victory with a few individuals, just like Gideon.
³⁶He is conquering and conquering and conquering until finally He will occupy and reign as King of Kings and the Lord of Lords in righteousness[Amen!!!] with those people that supported His course. Alleluia! The Cloud is here dominating the Camp.
³⁷So, when you are supporting the course of God, God is supporting your course. Sure!!!
⁴¹And he [devil] knows the people he has gotten.[Yes!] He knows the people he has gotten. And he knows no-go-areas. When you resist and continue to resist, nobody will tell the devil to find his way. Sure!!!
⁴⁴I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED ANY VISITATIONS FROM GOD. CONFIRMING YOU TO BE A CO-LABOURER; I MEAN GOD ENCOURAGING YOU, SAYING, “GO AHEAD!”Man or woman!
A woman is a co-labourer. A man, a co-labourer. My wife was My best yoke fellow in the work of God in the Vineyard.
⁴⁶THE MOMENT THE DEVIL WANTS TO DECEIVE YOU, HE WILL INSPIRE ALL MEN TO BE FLATTERING YOU AND PRAISING YOU. Amen and Amen and Amen.
⁴⁷TELL THEM YOU DO NOT DESERVE THAT PRAISE, THAT YOU DO NOT NEED IT, “I DO NOT NEED IT. DO NOT POUR ENCOMIUM ON ME.” NO MAN IS GOOD BUT GOD. YES! Repeat!
⁴⁷TELL THEM YOU DO NOT DESERVE THAT PRAISE, THAT YOU DO NOT NEED IT, “I DO NOT NEED IT. DO NOT POUR ENCOMIUM ON ME.” NO MAN IS GOOD BUT GOD. YES! Brethren, can we put our hands together for God.
We have a perfect Guide. Man and woman. You will never begin to fall until you begin to think that you have arrived. In whatever area you find yourself, be careful there. That is where the devil is meeting you.
⁵⁵… the Bible said that Satan is struggling and fighting against us because he knows he has an appointed time for his destruction.
Watch all that are misbehaving themselves in our families. This is where they took their origin. They had already programmed themselves that they are not going to live with you here forever and that they came for a purpose.
One will say, “How many years are left? The moment I finish my exam, I will go back to my home.” The other one will say, “The moment I am settled, I will go away.” Anybody having this type of spirit, can that person take correction?
It will come to a point where he will tell you even inwardly without saying it with the mouth, “Any day you are discouraged with me, send me back to my parents. I have not come to serve You. Neither have I come to worship God. You have given me all I needed, for which cause I came. So, what is the essence of troubling myself to behave like members of this Family?” Do I belong to this Family? I will not! After all, I am going back to my people and my home.
He has his own home land. He has his people, but not us. That is why I encourage all that have such people, “Fix your eyes and your mind on the purpose for which you brought them. Do not go further, for they will cause you to develop high blood pressure – hypertension.”
Page 44. NUGGET: ²⁶Say: “O Allah! Lord of Power [And Rule], Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest, [Sure!!!] and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest:[Yes!!!] Thou enduest with honour whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power.
²⁷“Thou causest the night to gain on the day, and thou causest the day to gain on the night; Thou bringest the Living out of the dead, and Thou bringest the dead out of the Living; and Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou pleasest, without measure.”
So, both the living and the dead, before Allah, they are one. Nobody dies.
²⁸Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers:…
Brethren, we are seeing the rain that is beating us. But you do not blame us because they came from families that say they believe like this one that says he is the son of Elijoe who has been with us since 1997.
Elijoe married their mother in our midst. They had the children in our midst. Anybody taking Elijoe and his children, will he call them unbelievers? No!
What of this John Okechukwu? Was he not a Deacon and still a Deacon in Isiala-Ngwa? He married his wife in the faith and had this FearGod in the faith. And they have been so-called in the faith.
By Faith, I mean the Bride of Christ Ministry, not in the Faith of Christ. If they had been in the Faith of Christ, the evidence would have been there. We would not be having troubles we are having in their hands, for we are in one Family, heading to one place.
But they are not members of our Family because, from the very beginning, they were not. Their character is marking them out, for they are introducing new new habits that are unknown to the children of God.
And they have tried well and are permanently in provocation, making themselves objects of provocation to everybody that comes their way.
I am using these two to help you know that the name for Cain is Havoc. And anybody that is aiming at causing havoc has no other name than Cain.
²⁸Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, innothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution,…
Have you seen it? By way of what? Precaution. You will be taking precaution for one that claims to be in the Faith, singing praises and clapping hands, dancing and writing Messages, and he was born in the Faith.
Yet, children of God are taking precaution in their relationship with such a fellow, receiving warnings to be very careful with the fellow for he is not a human being.
Brethren, has God not given us everything pertaining to life and godliness? Deacon Mike Emmanuel said that God has revealed everything to us.
Sister Faith! Are you shocked? With all you have, is it not precaution that you will take?
²⁸Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution,[That’s all.] that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you [To remember] Himself; for the final goal is to Allah. Amen![THE HOLY QUR’AN: Surah 3:26 – 28]
Today is another day. Are you tired? Tired of what? When we dismiss, where will I go?
Page 53. INSPIRATION IS THE POWER OF THE MIND. What? INSPIRATION IS THE POWER OF THE MIND.
¹That is why when you watch slaves, apprentices and house helps, watch all of them. If there be any that pretends to be serving God with you, watch that person very well. … Note the word, “Pretend to be serving God”. Watch that person very well.
… Whatever the person is doing, watch it very well. Amarachi, are you paying attention?
²The moment he begins to have that impression that he is waiting for time, know that that person is not a member. … Amen, Amen and Amen!… He does not belong to the Faith because if he belongs to the Faith, the spirit in you will tell you that this is the person, this is the family, this is the individual I will dwell with eternally. That’s all! No separation. No separation! I will live with him eternally.
⁴THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL AND WATCH OUT FOR THOSE SEDUCERS; THOSE SEDUCERS! WATCH THEM THAT DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TRUTH. ALL THEIR ACTIONS ARE PROVOCATIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE ONE DOING IT.
⁵THERE IS SOMETHING IN THEM INSPIRING THEM TO DO IT.
Brethren, if anybody says that God does not see everything, that person is yet to know who God is. When was this Message handled in 2020. April 17^th Today is April what? April 13^th. Approximately five years.
⁵THERE IS SOMETHING IN THEM INSPIRING THEM TO DO IT.FOR EVERY ACTION OF MAN IS INSPIRED BY A SPIRIT OR BY MANY SPIRITS. YES! BY A SPIRIT OR BY MANY SPIRITS.
⁶EVERY ACTION OF MAN, EVERY UTTERANCE FROM A MAN’S MOUTH IS INSPIRED. CHECK WHERE YOU ARE GETTING YOUR INSPIRATIONS.
⁷LIKE I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT INSPIRATION REMAINS THE POWER OF THE MIND. THE MIND CAN NEVER WANDER FROM PILLAR TO POST, UNLESS IT IS INSPIRED. AND WHATEVER THAT IS INSPIRING THE MIND POINTS THE MIND SOMEWHERE.⁸IT IS BETTER YOU KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
To God be the Glory for preserving the truth so that we will not perish. The moment you know who you are living with, the better for you.
The Message was handled before I brought both FearGod and Okwuchukwu in this house. So, it was not preached this morning because of their misbehaviour, but God had already addressed this trouble before they came.
⁹Remember that we are handling matters affecting spirits. Sure!!!The Bible said, “We are not fighting human beings with flesh and blood, but we are fighting against evil spirit human beings and their devices.”
¹⁰Evil spirit human beings! Evil spirits have dominated their hearts because they proceeded from the evil one.
And they are here mingling with the children of Godwith the intent to wreak havoc… To do what? To wreak havoc! … and to bring them into loggerhead with God.
¹³If you go to the Holy Qur’an, it is written there, that whenever he succeeds in seducing you away from Allah, he will stand by the side and then begin to laugh at you.That is pure truth.
That will be in the day calamity will befall you because he had succeeded in winning you. When he puts you into trouble, he will abandon you and will be laughing at you. He has ridiculed you. You will then become a laughing stock. By then, the anointing has left you.
²³REPENTANCE THAT WILL FOLLOW YOUR SOBERLINESS IS GODLY SOBERLINESS.[Yes!!!] GODLY REPENTANCE WILL PRODUCE GODLY SOBERLINESS. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT TO BE TRUE?[Sure!!!] YOU CAN BE SOBER AFTER AN UNGODLY SORT. Yes! With cool demon. Cool demon!
²⁷But he will not realize that he is going there for eternity. He will not even ask himself the question, “While you lived on earth, what did you achieve? What and what gave you joy? What did you gain in the world that will warrant you to go and languish in hell till eternity?”
²⁸Some people might have gained the world but lost their soul. Did you gain the world? No! And you are losing your soul. Double tragedy! Double tragedy!
Concerning the wealth of this world, you are empty-handed. Concerning the Kingdom of Heaven, you are empty-handed. You are ending it in eternal torment. This is what someone has caused himself through craftiness.

You do not know that He that is talking to you is greater than Moses. If perfection could come from Moses Ministry, translation would have occurred long long time ago. We would have been in Paradise long long time ago. Greater than Moses is here. Thus, obey God always. Do not go back to the old ways of doing evil……

THE SON OF MAN

CLEAN OR UNCLEAN, STRUGGLE YOUR WAY INTO THE ARK; Preached on Sunday 26^th April 1998 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 30 vs. 38 – 39

CHANGE YOUR HEART AND MIND [1]

Resisting the devil, Page 65.¹I wonder when you will achieve that which you have not accomplished from the day you were born till now when everybody is under lockdown. And after the lockdown there will be global economic recession. Has it happened? Has it happened? There will be mass retrenchment. Has it fulfilled?
³Unless you are not an economist. You will know that what follows a case like this is global economic downturn.[Sure!!!] Downturn![Economic depression]. … Is it not what we are suffering even till now?
¹⁸I hope you know Who is talking to you. They are lined up one after the other. This one is under strict monitor until it has gone round the whole world. Then, God will monitor the development to know whether it has power enough to reduce the population.
¹⁹Then He will inject another one to help it. That one will continue its own and all of them will be at work. Not that God will inject one and remove the other. One will superimpose the other.
²⁰Another one will come and topple the others. It will be toppling and toppling until God achieves His purpose. That is where we are now.
²³Anywhere you die is where you will be buried. The Chairman of Sosoliso airlines was immediately buried yesterday in United Kingdom. No mortuary. He was buried there immediately. That is Echezona, a native of Ogidi [Anambra State].
²⁹The whole world has started raising alarm of post-corona. When you have borrowed money to fight corona, where will you get the money to revive the economy?
Look at Nigeria’s budget now. See Tinubu’s budget. It is nearly ₦20 trillion, but before Buhari left, how many trillion was the budget? ₦4.5 trillion.
Look at the price of fuel before Buhari left. See what we are buying it now. See gas. See everything. Check the price of cement before Buhari left. See the price of cement today.
So it is with every other thing. Look at school fees. Check the school fees before Buhari left office. Check the school fees today. Check the transportation fare.
I am using these things as indices. The future is still very bleak. Check the exchange rate for dollars before Buhari left. Check the exchange rate for dollars now. Check for pounds sterling. Pounds sterling is about ₦2,500.00 right now. Euro is about ₦2,200.00. Dollar is the cheapest now exchanging at ₦1,550.00 as at yesterday.
But how much was it before Buhari left? That is where the problem lies. Dollar was exchanged at the rate of ₦630.00, and we were crying. Within a few month after Tinubu mounted there, see where we are.
³⁰The countries borrowing money from richer countries to fight corona, where will they get the money to revive the economy? And yet, the more they fight, the more they are losing the fight.
How many streams of youth corpers do we have now? Graduates will be going for service every month. Then, where will be the vacancy when they are replacing people that retired? Where is the vacancy?
After the youth service, you go home and stay with your parents. No work! No work! This is because we are producing more graduates than we need. Yes!
The number of graduates we have at hand is by far greater than what Nigeria needs. Almost half of the population of Nigeria is now made up of graduates. No vacancy! Nothing nothing!
And parents are still injecting more lives into the unemployment market. Labour market is super saturated.
I cried out in the beginning, “Scrap off this youth service.” But now, they think it is helpful. In what way? The cheapest available labour today is youth service.
Do not worry. When I establish My poultry farm, if I have the means, I will get many of them from NYSC. Yes! They will be coming and going. I do not pay a kobo. Government will be paying them, and they will be doing the work free for Me. Government will pay, and they will do the work for Me. Give Me twelve graduates. That is what I need. I will take care of them.
³⁷… we are trusting God that is always at work. Yes! God is constantly at work in the lives of all the children of obedience. While the Devil is constantly at work in the heart and lives of children of disobedient. Do you believe it? Say Amen!
FOR EVERYTHING GOD SAID, THE DEVIL HAS HIS OWN INTERPRETATION. IF YOU HAVE THAT NATURE THAT WHATEVER GOD SAYS, THERE IS SOMETHING COUNTERING IT IN YOUR HEART, DO NOT ASK ME WHO YOU ARE. YOU ARE THE DEVIL I AM REFERRING TO.
Okwuchukwu, are you paying attention? Perfect interpreter of the devil. FearGod, are you paying attention? Today, you have received the Message that was handled before you came.
In short, throughout last week, all we have been looking through were Message that were here before you came, highlighting who you are so that we will stop complaining.
⁴¹IF YOU WANT TO ASK QUESTION, ASK GOD WHY DID YOU ALLOW ME TO BE A DEVIL. GOD WILL SAY, YOU GAVE YOURSELF OVER TO THAT SPIRIT AND IT POSSESSED YOU. THIS IS BECAUSE, ANY SPIRIT YOU YIELD YOURSELF TO IS THE SPIRIT THAT WILL POSSESS YOU.
YES NOW! HANDSET SPIRIT, SLEEPING SPIRIT AND THEN CIRCUMVENTING SPIRIT. SPIRIT OF CRAFTINESS, SLOTHFULNESS, LAZY HABITS OF ALL SORTS, BUT THE WORST IS THE SPIRIT OF LYING. A HABITUAL LIAR IS A MURDERER. GO TO THE MESSAGE CATCH THEM YOUNG. THEY HAVE READ IT. A HABITUAL LIAR IS A MURDERER.
REFERENCE: Catch them young by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN; Chapter 5 [The Dreadful Repercussions of Telling Lies] Page 51 verse 1 through 4. ¹It is written, “A liar is a criminal; a habitual liar is a murderer.” Little children, listen to me. A liar is a criminal. A habitual liar is a murderer. How many will like to be criminals?
²How many tell lies? If you know you tell lies continually, if you do something wrong, you will deny; you steal money, you will deny; whatever evil you do, you will deny. Why do you deny? It is because you know that what you did is not good and you know that you must be punished if you reveal yourself. For that reason, you begin to tell lies.
³In other words, you are a criminal. You are acquiring criminal mind; criminal spirit. How many children would like to continue telling lies after reading this? Parents, monitor your children when there is hope.
⁴If you are a liar, a habitual liar, firstof all, people will not trust you. Secondly, your parents will lose confidence in you. Thirdly, whatever you do, your parents will not defend you whether you are right or wrong.
Page 85. NUGGET: He introduced Himself to you, but before then, you knew Him not. But at the closing hour of the Faith, at this closing hours, when He is rounding off everything in love, salvation in completeness, salvation in mercy, salvation in grace, salvation in love, He came again to romance with you and permitted you to get Him with camera again, after which He banned the use of camera and handset. Sure!!! [SEE THE BEING: END OF DISCUSSION; preached on Sunday 22nd April, 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 68 vs. 26.] To sum up the whole matter
Page 86: Tell me where you will run to and then hide in, so that God will not know about it? I said it can never be under the sun. Neither will it be in Heaven nor beneath the Earth.
Let us put our hands together for God. No hiding place. Since you know there is no hiding place, why are you trying to hide? Hide your iniquity. Hide your sins. You will never succeed in life. Confess and forsake it, you will get mercy from God.
⁶You will hear THE VOICE OF RAMADAN today because I will rake up witnesses against the whole world again. And this is because, I am about to unleash mayhem.
I have come to do what? To unleash mayhem upon the whole earth. As the whole countries are benefitting from the websites, so the whole countries will equally benefit from the wrath of God. Do you not know?
In all those countries, anyone that did not even benefit from the websites because of religion, philosophy or this and that is already marked bad. He or she is already marked bad.
As the serpent was lifted up by Moses in the wilderness so that whosoever that looketh unto that brazen serpent will get healing and will get salvation, so shall the son of man be lifted up where the entire world will see Him.
If anyone will look up to Him by faith, his or her sins are absolved. A-B-S-O-L-V-E-D. He or she is completely set free from the sins he or she could not have been set free if he or she was to live under the laws of Moses. Why?
A greater than Moses is here. I am the continuation and the consummation of the Ministry of the Son of God. If you know who the Son of God is, happy are you. I do not care the way you look at Me or whatever you call Me.
If you love your life, make your own prayer and say, “God, help me to know who this Man is Who has all these things in His armoury. Yet, He is silent, quiet and does not make any noise on the streets.”
A bruised reed, He cannot break. A burning flax, he cannot quench.” Who is this Man Who has all that is needed to make Him popular, yet He says no? Who is this Man Who loves hiding in the bush?
The woman I gave the contract for the decoration of the Hall fell sick and then handed the job over to My daughter Glitz Functions. Oluebube called her, telling her that Daddy will like to say hello to her, for I have been praying for her speedy recovery.
On hearing My Voice, [Oluebube heard the voice, even all of us that were there because it was on speaker], “My LORD! My God! My LORD! I am on my knees. If there be any Name which If I call You, it will be enough, I will call that Name. Take these ones I have called You.
I have seen everything that is going on. My workers are posting, the discussions, the gospel and photographs. I have been overwhelmed by what they have been posting to me. I do not doubt any of them because I had been to Your residence during you daughter’s marriage.
I was in Your hometown again during the burial of Your wife, but you did not recognize me to be the one. You had a handkerchief in Your hands, for Your eyes were covered with tears. That condition hindered me from coming to salute you in the place where you were seated with people. Bro Mike tried to point her out to Me but I was not disposed. Ebube also brought her to Me that day.
Imagine the highly exalted and titled traditional chief from Nsugbe and his fellow royal council members who proclaimed publicly that what he calls the son of man is “My LORD”. You people do not listen to testimony. He repeatedly declared that what he calls the son of man is “My LORD”.
He said that it is not just for calling sake but because he has never presented a problem before the son of man and went away with the same problem. He testified further that once the son of man speaks concerning that problem, that is the end.
Is that not the incomparable Roman centurion? “I am not worthy that You should come into my house, but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.” Jesus said, “In the land of Israel, never have I come across a man with this kind of faith. I have never seen a man of faith like this.”
An incomparable man. Jesus used the incomparable Roman centurion as an example of a man of faith. He upbraided the so-called disciples and said, “Can you see it? In the land of the Jews, never have I come across a man with this type of faith saying, “I am a centurion. I have people under my care. I instruct them, and I give orders, and they do what I tell them to do. I know you have the power greater than what I have. I am not worthy that you will come to my house to come and heal my maid servant. Please simply speak a word from there, and my servant will be healed.””
The LORD had already volunteered to go to his house o. When the Roman centurion made that statement, it shocked him. He said, “Okay! Thy faith has made thy servant whole.”
When he got home, his servant was the first that embraced him. He called everybody and enquired, “At what hour did she recover?” They told him the hour and he remembered it was that selfsame hour that the Word went forth, for the Bible said, “He sent out His Word and His Word healeth them.”
REFERENCE: Matthew 8:5-10, NIV.⁵When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, asking for help. ⁶“Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering.” ⁷Jesus said to him, “I will go and heal him.” ⁸The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the Word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”¹⁰When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, “I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
The reason why you have stiff neck that cannot be healed and troubles that cannot be solved is because of unbelief. The worst form of unbelief is hypocrisy.
With the mouth, you believe in God, you profess God and His mercies and so on, but your heart is so far away from God’s own righteousness which is revealed from faith to faith.
Do you not know that I can be God before you here and the devil in your heart? Am I trying to win your favour? Have I tried from the inception of the Faith, even when I am still throwing people away?
If I am trying to win your favour, I would have restored all that came who were thrown away from the faith long long time ago. Do you know how many people that have written for restoration? How many have I attended to?
I do not forgive sins easily. I forgive when I want to, and I must have reason for that. I will pardon you and tell you to relax your mind. I will as well discharge you to enable you mingle with others and so on, but to acquit you– to acquit you, if you have never known Me to that point, begin now to pray.
That is why saint Paul made that statement that he is afraid of entering into God’s judgment, for He is a consuming fire.
My commission never permitted me to pardon any transgression. Rather, My commission warned everybody never to provoke Me to wrath, for I will never forgive your transgression.
For Me to pardon your transgression, I must sleep again, go over to the curtain of time. When I return again, if when I return you are there, if you are going to be set free, you will hear. I will stretch forth My left hand and say, “Hold My hand.”
But if while I open My eyes when I come back and see you and say, “Will you vanish from My presence and never come back to Me again”, go. Your matter is over.
I will allow you to fellowship with us and furnish you with every good thing like I am furnishing the goat at the backyard. Once we dismiss, FearGod will go and get fodder for the goat. Will it save the life of the goat? No!
If you do not know Me, it is because you have never tried to know Me. I have introduced Myself to you once and for all, and I have continued to highlight Myself, My qualities and everything until I gave you My last or final introduction of Who I am.
Who is this Man who never minced words in introducing Himself from the very beginning, and He is upholding it? When others are looking for converts, this Man is throwing His own away when He has not even one.
REFERENCES: [1] MIXED MULTITUDE Part 2, Chapter 2 verse 1& 28. I am glad. Whether they believe it or not, God is in this Church. Jehovah Shammah, He is here, in our midst! Come before Him with fear and trembling. Be reverent! …
²⁸The Lord is still going further. I am glad. When I look at what is hovering around, it makes me fine. Somebody may not see what I am seeing. I am telling you the truth. It makes me fine. He is right here in our midst.
[2] MIXED MULTITUDE Part 2, Chapter 6 verse 18-19.¹⁸This morning, the Lord descended again, telling Me that He is very glad with the Church because we showered appreciation of His presence in our midst. I mean, everybody believed it to be true and the Lord was glad so much and He will continue doing more.
¹⁹He is helping us. He said, “Do not be discouraged, do not be afraid, though they may mock you, they may make jest of you, praying for your downfall, I will see you through. I am with you”, that is the spirit of the Lord.

So you have come face to face with the Reality. We are realists in this Most Holy Faith. We stand to be criticized whether destructively or constructively, for we believe people are entitled to their opinions. Express your opinions in any form you wish for it is your right. Your belief or unbelief cannot alter what I am, for I am what I am. Call Me devil. It is your right. Call Me God. It is your right. Whatever you like call Me. It can never add or subtract from the reality of what I am. If I introduce Myself to you and you do not believe, no problem about it. It is not compulsory. It then means you are telling Me that you know Me more than I know Myself. You know there are many ways people advertise their stupidity and ignorance. Glory be to God.

THE SON OF MAN

I AM THE CHIEF INSTRUCTOR; Preached on Sunday 4^th March 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 146 vs. 35 – 36

Change your hearT and mind [2]

If I am not sure of you, handpicked by Me, how many families are here? How many? One, two, three, four. Only four families are here.
Chi-Vin Obidinma is not here courtesy of the Faith. She is here, courtesy of her mother, Oluebube. Another is courtesy of her service to Me as one of My sales workers.
Okwuchukwu Elijoe is not here because of eternal life. He is here because He is seeking assistance from Me. His father, you know him very well. You know how rich he is. He wants Me to help his son complete his SS3. And I am doing it.
And his son became foolish. Instead of behaving in such a way that I can take him further, he narrowed Me to SS3 which is around the corner, after which, he will go home. If he gets home, what next?
Then the big man. Look at him. See the way he is sitting. Look at him there. A very big man. See him with his legs. He knew Me not. He heard about Me. For the fact that I was the one that wanted to know more about him, I asked him to come.
He has already loaded his heart, “After all, I was alone. You invited me to come” as if I needed somebody to keep Me company. Look at him. If I needed somebody, will it be you? FearGod, if I needed somebody, will it be you?
I brought you to come and defend what you wrote down that put Me and Pastor Chizoba running up and down, until FearGod Emmanuel exonerated himself.
I later discovered you at Mbaise when I came to bury My wife, and told you, “After the whole thing, come down here. I will like to know more about you since you said you are Okechukwu John’s son.”
Now, you came here with something in mind. You fixed a salary for yourself when I had not given you a job. You fixed the salary. When you came here, you told Me that you were doing a work somewhere and they were paying you fifteen thousand naira [₦15,000.00], of which your father said that I should disregard you.
What was that man paying you. You were only selling recharge cards for him. Two of you. And he promised to pay you six thousand naira per month, which he paid only once in the village, and then began to accuse you of stealing together with your friend.
It was the stealing charges that were preferred against you and your friend that made you to bolt away from the village, but you fixed yourself on a salary and came.
If your father did not say it to your hearing, I would have been a liar. So you came for business. Did I promise you business? FearGod, did I promise you any business? Did I tell you to come and stay with Me and do any job?
I told you to come down. You will defend yourself. All those nonsenses you were writing, telling us, “Bye bye! Good bye, till we meet in Paradise”, now that I have discovered you, you have to speak to Me.
Compassionately, I allowed you to stay longer than necessary. And I have noticed that you are not ready to change. You are not too far away from the rest of Ngwa people I know. Brethren, if gold could rust, what will be the fate of silver or iron?
You cannot disappoint Me because I have never pinned My hopes on you for one day, for I need you not.
⁷A little thing that has happened; just a mere stroke of the fire, and a criminal who said he is having bullet proof started running. I thought they [the whole countries in the world] said they are man enough and equally strong?
Did it happen? Did it happen? I put a uniform on the whole world. And I prophesied about it ahead of time.
^{9 [24]}In the next ten to fifteen years, you will hear His Voice raking up that same matter with a type of seriousness that was not in the beginning…What?
^{9 [24]}In the next ten to fifteen years,… Take note!…you will hear His Voice raking up that same matter… Whose Voice!
The Voice of THE SON OF MAN in the next 10 to 15 years. He is now giving you hope. You will hear the Voice of the son of man again raking up the same matter in another dimension. You think the judgment of the world is for one day?
In the next ten to fifteen years, you will hear His Voice raking up that same matter with a type of seriousness that was not in the beginning… [THE NAME OF GOD IS REVEALED TO HIS PEOPLE IN ALL THE AGES; Preached on 27^th October 2012; Page 94 verse 24.]
¹⁰This is because He is about to punish it. Iniquity must be punished. I do not care how long it lasts. That is why crime has no expiry date. Under the civil law, crime has no expiry date. True or false?
¹¹YOUR CRIME CAN ONLY EXPIRE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD IF YOU CHANGE OVER TO A NEW LEAF WITH …
Why not write it down all of you? Are you not daily committing crimes against yourself, against your consciences and your Brethren, and against THE SON OF MAN?
¹¹YOUR CRIME CAN ONLY EXPIRE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD IF YOU CHANGE OVER TO A NEW LEAF WITH A VOW NEVER TO GO BACK TO THE OLD LIFE. What?
¹¹YOUR CRIME CAN ONLY EXPIRE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD IF YOU CHANGE OVER TO A NEW LEAF WITH A VOW NEVER TO GO BACK TO THE OLD LIFE.
The Name of God is revealed to His people in all the Ages. In the days of Moses, He answered a Name. In the days of Abraham, He answered a name. In the days of the prophets, He answered a Name. In this your Age, does He have a Name? God must appropriate a Name to Himself.
^{15 [23]}I am still thinking more. That is why, if you watch THE SON OF MAN closely, even naturally speaking, He does not punish sinners instantly. It takes Him time. What?
^{15 [23]}I am still thinking more. That is why, if you watch THE SON OF MAN closely, even naturally speaking, He does not punish sinners instantly. It takes Him time.
Is it not one of the qualities of the Elohim that He does not punish sinners instantly? For that reason, the hearts of men and women are fixed on doing evil continually.
THE NAME OF GOD IS REVEALED TO HIS PEOPLE IN ALL THE AGES; Preached on 27^th October 2012; Page 94 verse 23 through 24.¹⁶You commit the crime against Him this year, and continues crying and crying until you will hear from Him, “Relax your mind”, and you relax, and you go to bed claiming, “I heard Him say, I should go and relax my mind”, go ahead and relax.
^{17 [24]}In the next ten to fifteen years, you will hear His voice raking up that same matter with a type of seriousness that was not in the beginning… Brethren! Anything to say here? Have I denied Myself? You see why God must be feared.
I have not read this Message o. FearGod gave Me this Message this morning and many others. True or false? Pastor Chizoba, were you not there? If you know that Message, nothing was marked inside.
And it suited the one I never read also. I brought it out to post to the whole world with the one I am holding here.
^{17 [24]}In the next ten to fifteen years, you will hear His voice raking up that same matter with a type of seriousness that was not in the beginning so that you will know that He is the Almighty who does not punish sinners swiftly…
¹⁸He is what? HE IS THE ALMIGHTY. That is the name He shall be called. HE SHALL BE CALLED THE ALMIGHTY.
He that is come. He that is to come. The Almighty. Is it not in the Book of revelation?
REFERENCE: Revelation 1:8, KJV. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
^{19 [25]}I was talking to Brethren,… Men and women!…if you are courageous to challenge God– if you are courageous enough to act contrary, be courageous enough to bear the punishment…
If you are afraid of going to Hell, why do you disobey the Word of God? It is in a Message titled WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF HELL AND YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO RIGHT?… FearGod go and search for it today. I want to have it this night.
…Why are you afraid of hellfire and you do not want to serve God? Search for the Message. I want to have it today. It is in the library. Is it like that there?
Joy! It is like you are understanding this Message. Are you understanding this Teaching? [She replied, “Yes Daddy.”] Okay! It is a very big thing that has happened to your mother because if you understand this Message and your mother equally understands it, you have succeeded in training all your sibling.
And that is if you mother will not loose her own revelation of this Message through her job as a seamstress. I say, if your mother will not loose her own revelation of the Message through her job as a seamstress.
²⁴You are still fanning yourself. This is just good morning. Heat has not yet come. Do you not know that heat will still come? The heat you are supposed to be afraid of is that of March, but April is running towards the end.
²⁴Yet, you are still using hand fan. By Geography, April means rainy period. And I am telling you that the Earth is been heated. Brethren, are we still holding the hand fan? The temperature is still high.
²⁴DISCIPLINE YOURSELF IN YOUR YOUTH, AND REAP THE REWARD IN YOUR OLD AGE. …Amen! Write it down. …NOTHING WILL MOVE YOU IN YOUR OLD AGE. NOTHING WILL INFLUENCE YOU OUT OF THE RIGHT WAY.
³⁸If they had known where I was heading to, they would have obstructed Me. By now, I would have joined My ancestors with Agagwu and his mates. Yes! Check! All of them are dead. Joe died. Ikwuazor died. Ahanonu died. Agagwa died. Nwanefo died.All of them. Emma Okeke died. Okafor died. Patrick Dibua died including Obidigbo and Ibe. All of them have died.
⁴¹Evil habit makes a man to be older than his age. …[Amen!!!]Evil habit makes a person old and shabby.… Anybody who is older than his age is an evil man. He is a subtle fellow. He is a wicked fellow. He is a hypocrite.
⁴²Check, both in the village and in township, they age early and fast, and then look older than their age because every time he is envious of the next person, harbouring evil in his heart against someone and thinking of what to do to another person. …
Truth! Did you not see Elijoe when he came around recently? If anyone is told that I am by far older than he is, the person will not believe. He is the one his son wants to pattern after, thinking that his father is faring well.
… He is constantly brooding and planning evil in his heart.
⁵³Bear it in mind that the Personality Whom you are having dealings with, who is pointing fingers at you, whose Voice roars on you, who gives you a ladder to come out of evil habit is both God and a human being. Underline!
Did I mention ladder today? A ladder is given to you today to come out of the pit where you buried yourself in evil. Follow the ladder and come out today or regret your existence any time from now.
Page 103. NUGGET: “…your salvation is tied to your belief in the Son of Man, that God has sent HIM.” [ARE YOU CONVINCED? preached on Sunday 15^th April, 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 27 vs. 26]
Is it not Scripture? What will you do to fulfill the will of God? I said, “Believe in He Whom He has sent.”
REFERENCE: John 6:28-29, AMP.²⁸They then said, What are we to do, that we may [habitually] be working the works of God? [What are we to do to carry out what God requires?] ²⁹Jesus replied, This is the work (service) that God asks of you: that you believe in the One Whom He has sent [that you cleave to, trust, rely on, and have faith in His Messenger].
²I know why I do not delight in preaching punishment and Hell fire, lest people will begin to serve God out of fear, instead of real love, which is Revelation. Amen!!!
³… That place which you are afraid of is where you are going to because once you are worshiping, not in love, you can never live right. What?
That place which you are afraid of is where you are going to because once you are worshiping, not in love, you can never live right. Sure!!!
⁴Nobody makes great mistakes except somebody who is living in fear and doing everything in fear. … Is there truth in it?
… There, he makes the greatest mistakes. But when you are acting according to the law of liberty, you do it in love and not as a duty, you cannot even make a mistake.
¹⁵Civil life should teach us more. There is greatness in politeness. There is greatness in politeness. Withdrawing your statement, apologizing for your wrong does not belittle you. Sure!!!

CONCLUSION

PRAYER

Father, we thank you this moment for Your Word is a double-edged sword. It has pierced into our hearts, bringing out all the contents, both hidden and open.
Father, no one can deny that he or she did not hear his or her name this day. Father, even the devil heard his Name.
Therefore LORD, we just pray for Your mercy. We pray for Your grace. We pray that Your Word will go in there and do a wonderful work it is meant to do, and so that it will never come back to You void.
We are handing over to You, all that belongeth to You O LORD in all the four corners of the earth.
Father, You have been sustaining Yourself and steadying Yourself. In the same way, steady us and sustain us unto the end. Save us from this untoward generation. Help us that we shall always do it towards You. May there be nothing between You and any of us, so that at the end of the whole thing, we shall all raise our hands unto You with every amount of boldness and call You Abba Father.
Through Your Name Peter Christ our LORD, we pray. Amen!
