I AM THE CONSOLATION OF THE BRIDE

I AM THE CONSOLATION OF THE BRIDE Preached on 31^ST DECEMBER, 2011 At THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN (THE RESURRECTED BODY) “Truth has no substitute” ©BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLD-WIDE

I have finished my work in the Bride. I am only getting ready to hand you over. The Kingdom does not belong to Me; I am surrendering the Kingdom to My Father any moment from now. That day, you will know that I am HE. Believe it if you can…

—The Son of Man

(LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS VOL. 2—Pg 6, para 1)

have closed the Ark. As long as God lives and I live, I have collected the approved number of the Gentiles I am sent to collect, that is, the complete number I am sent to collect. What is more, and immediately the last person rolled in, I closed the manifest for that is the instruction. It is the instruction that I was given from the very beginning.

God has a fixed number He will take from the Gentiles even if they are trillions upon trillions of persons; the same way it is with the Jews.

How many believe that God sends alert? He can wake you up in your bed; when you are still in your bed, the alert will come straight into your ears, in your hearts, waking you up. Before you know it, the voice will come distinctly into your ears; no mistake about it.

Since you believe in alerts, get ready! From time to time, the son of man will be sending alerts since you believe in alerts.

From: THE SON OF MAN, CLOSE THE BOOK AND SEAL UP THE TESTIMONY Page 47, verses 4,5, 9 and 10)

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

This is the final statement of our meeting for the year two thousand and eleven (2011). If there will be another Message tomorrow; that is if there will be tomorrow, that Message will be for the first meeting of the year 2012.

I know you are happy. There is no need asking you because the face is the window of the mind. Your faces are reflecting nothing but happiness. We have to give God the whole praise and glory, for He has made this camp meeting a great success.
So far, of all our brethren, friends and well-wishers that attended this meeting right from 28^th of December 2011 until the night of 31^st December 2011, we have not received adverse report from anybody. The Lord protected all of us on the highways. In short, He is worthy of our praise.
We have been praising God, we can do everything too much but we can never praise God too much.
You see, the only thanksgiving God expects from all human beings is just to praise Him with all our hearts—use our mouths and give Him praise, for that is the whole duty of man: TO FEAR, HONOUR AND PRAISE THE LORD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US.
See, too many waters have passed under the bridge from January 1^st 2011 until the night of 31^st December 2011. Well, I do not need to begin to tell you what happened in Nigeria in particular and worldwide, we are all living witnesses.
We are not taken unawares because He had already spoken concerning those events, hence we are not shaken in mind. The reason why we are in His Presence, in this meeting is to appreciate His goodness and mercy for saving us from His wrath, which is swiftly coming upon the children of disobedience.
Believe it if you can, the judgment of God has started gradually. Any moment from now, the world will see the real He.
Bishop David, what you are holding, is it a camera? Okay, it is video and camera. Are you not afraid of what you saw in the afternoon with that camera? Oh! Even this evening, while you were focusing it on Me, I was giving you sign. I never knew you never got my signal and then I decided to show you a sign in your screen. Lo and behold, it was going up, it was coming down.
What is more, that was the time I was singing my own song. He was trying to see what he could do, and I was wondering whether he would watch that thing maybe after the catching away of the saints. I said God forbid!
Too many things are contained in your cameras. Those that are gifted with the gift of vision, since 29^th December 2011 night till 31^st December 2011 night, many, many things have been captured with their eyes. That is not why we are in His Presence, in this meeting. We know more than that.
Thus tonight, I am going to move in a very soft way. Yes, in a very soft way. Bishop David, God knows why He decided to show you a little, so that when you get home as a Bishop; you help them to understand that the catching away of the saints is real because each time It (the Pillar of Cloud) rose up, I brought it down. It rose up and I calmed it. A little while it will hang in the air, and I will calm it. A time came, it was a little above Me and I could touch it. Check your camera!
Anything can tell lies; it is not a pinhole camera. If you get to Nasarawa you can print the thing out, roll the other one in VCD so that your brethren over there could hook up with what really happened in this camp meeting.
He never invited you in vain. Even the rain is enough. Do you know it is only through Christ that the entire world is blessed? They just saw the rain this afternoon, 31^st December 2011 as a blessing from God, but God knows why He showered the rain.
You are the only people that are cooling the anger of the Lord, for the only property God has on Earth remained the Body of Christ, which is the family of God. Any day He takes away His family, the world will see what will make the whole Earth to quake.
Of course, you know that we have come to a point where we can tell the whole world the truth about the matter. Yes, there is the truth about the matter. I do not want anybody to label Me a wicked Messenger. I have overstayed for I gave extra ten years. Truly speaking, I gave extra ten years. Well, all is for good.
If I should allow everybody for another ten years, they will be worse. Hence, I decided to cut it short in righteousness. The moment the righteousness of God is established in the hearts of His children, the Son of Man has no other thing left than to wrap up the whole thing.
Deacon Anselem, you can see that I am really very happy. At least the population I have in this camp meeting excluding those I excluded from the meeting is by far greater than some villages. My own village is not up to the population I have in this camp meeting tonight. Thus, I am blessed. You are also blessed.
We are in His Presence, in this camp meeting to tell ourselves those old, old stories. Tell me the old, old stories of Christ and His Love. I will tell you the old, old stories of Christ and His Love. I do not know why I found it difficult to stay in the pulpit; I now feel more comfortable to identify with you over there.
In other words, I am tired of staying behind the pulpit. What is more, I thank God it is all over. I thank God for that. Hence, life eternal has a gate. It has a gate. We are about to possess that Golden City, which John saw coming down as recorded in the book of Revelation: There is a beautiful city with many mansions with a pearly white gate. Pearly white gate, John saw it coming down from above—a great city, our fathers longed for that place.
Do you know that until this very moment nobody has ever succeeded in entering that city (Paradise)? Too many people have made too many attempts, it is not of my own making, it is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our sight.
Yes, all angels have made several attempts, prophets made attempts to enter that city but it behooves on Him, the Resurrected Body to come and then break through. If He had refused to come in person, no human being born of a woman would ever enter that city gate. The city cost the life of Jesus Christ and a replacement came which is the Comforter. Go back to the Message titled “The Comforter.”
We thank God immensely, for God carried all of us along in spite of our human weaknesses, which we manifested. Yet we still cling to Him until this day. I thank God, nobody in this most holy Faith can say that he has made it to this end as a result of his own effort. No! It is God from the beginning till the end.
Look around you see nothing but God. If there is anything you think you contributed to your salvation which has been made complete this day, mention it. Believing is not of your own making, it is also the grace of God.
There are too many great men, scholars out there in the world, philosophers out there in the world who are shuttling to and fro all over the globe to see whether they could attain salvation, but God hid it away from all of them because, NOT MANY MIGHTY, NOT MANY NOBLE, NOT MANY SCHOLARS, NO BIG NAME BUT NONENTITIES—for it is God that showeth mercy.
Those that worth nothing, God decided to gather together, conferring a very big authority on them, calling them His sons and daughters. It is a wonderful privilege, really wonderful. I am not in the pulpit for a preaching. No! I am in the pulpit to share some experiences with you.
It is a night we will just be sober and then reflect on what really transpired from the beginning till now. Begin to ask yourself whether it is real or dream. It is real. I say, it is real. Amen.

I HAVE LOCKED THE DOOR OF THE ARK

You see, somebody might be asking a question: “I thought that by the time the whole thing will be over, then I will be wearing my immortal body, appearing and disappearing as a sure sign that the ministry has ended. How can I be feeling pain and continue to struggle? Yet the Son of Man said that the whole thing has ended.” It is a good question. It does not mean that you are doubting. Doubt nothing. I say doubt nothing.

The day Noah and his family entered the ark and the ark was locked was not the day the flood started. The day the two Angels that went to Sodom and Gomorrah took Lot and his family into the house and locked up the house, gave him instruction to go and preach to his in-laws, friends and well-wishers peradventure they might listen, which the Bible never recorded the number of days he preached; note, the Bible only recorded how he (Lot) escaped.
It is just like God permitting Abraham to go to Sodom and Gomorrah to preach and search to see if there could be righteous people as requested by Abraham. He was going and coming back like that, as God continued trimming down the number until it got to zero yet nobody was found.
Abraham now pleaded with God saying, “I have my relations there; I would not like them to be destroyed with Sodom and Gomorrah.” He (God) said, “Ok, do something now. Tell them to get ready.”
That day the door was locked and things like that, was is the day the fire descended? I have locked the door of the Ark. Drag Me to the Supreme Court. That which was agitating your mind was what I visited so that you can see that what is strong enough to carry all of you is in your midst. The mechanics are in your midst. The dynamics are also here with you. Everything for your flight has been put in place. I am no longer shaken in mind. No! I am saying that you should go and publish it far and wide, blow it at the mountains top that the Son of Man said so.
Whether they will believe it or not, it is not my business. I don’t make such dogmatic statements expecting people to believe. Do not even believe, until it happens before your eyes.
On January 1^st 2011, I stood on the sacred pulpit in the fellowship, before innumerable witnesses and highlighted what you should expect in the year 2011 (these are contained in the Message titled Ministers’ Meeting volumes 1 and 2). Your jotters were filled with these prophetic Messages and I thank God for that. If you can go back to your jotters, or go back to the tape with your pen and begin to mark those that have come to pass, you will be astonished. There is no event that has taken place, which I never prophesied ahead of time with the intension to prepare your mind.
Brother Akparanta, about two weeks ago, do you remember my discussions with you? When I told you that you should make haste to bring your children down to the East, that there is going to be big trouble in Suleja. That what you experienced before is a light thing. I said, “Make haste! If you do not make haste, well, whatever you see, you take.”
Moreover, you were trying to give Me the excuse that your wife called you and was telling you that all was well and things like that. Well I do not have time to begin to argue with you over the matter. When the fire fell, you could not phone Me again because you were busy trying to run away.
Why were you running? I will not open up this night concerning the year 2012. Why I am in the fellowship with you is to thank God for the journey so far.
Remember, I told you that the year 2011 is going to be a bloody year; that security operatives in Nigeria will suffer terribly trying to control the crime that will soar very high. That even the combined team of the Army and Police will not solve it. Moreover, that was the time all the Nigerian prophets prophesied good, good things concerning Nigeria; and they labeled Me a prophet of doom. I agreed and I told you to watch out.
How do you know a Prophet from God? When he speaks, though it tarries, it must surely come to pass. Even the economy of Nigeria, which they prophesied that will blossom more than ever, how Nigerians will live a happy life, how there is going to be a peaceful election in Nigeria, how there is going to be this and that, and I said nothing.
When I got to Enugu, the pressmen held Me spellbound for over forty five minutes, which led Me to hold the world press conference. All that I predicted concerning Nigeria, you are my witnesses, I did not only predict, I also offered the remedies which federal Government started implementing half-heartedly. There are too many things I cannot subscribe to. Well, on 1^st January 2012 morning, come to the fellowship.
Who knows whether God will halt it at this approved hour? The same way the alert came, asking Me to close the book and seal off the testimonies, did I reason with anybody?
It is just like our brothers who were doing a little work for me; one of them saw me heading somewhere while they were doing their routine duty in my house. They heard the Voice that called, “Brother Stephen! Brother Stephen!” He answered, “My Lord” and then ran into the house to respond only to hear that I was not in the house. What is more, when the Voice spoke, it was made such that Brother Chibuzo Ugwu, who was with Brother Stephen, could also hear the Voice loud and clear. You have heard the testimony, I will not revisit it.
The Voice did not come because of Me, it is because of you. It is just like while we were in the fellowship and the Voice said, “Thus, it behoveth the Son of Man to fulfill all righteousness.” That Voice was not for Me, it is for you. The Pillar of Cloud is for you, it is not for Me. If there is unbelief, it is not in Me, it is in you.
I thank God Who helped Me to scale the hurdle. The greatest hurdle that have faced every Messenger from God is to convince the people he is sent to that he proceeded from God. It has always been a difficult task. It is easier to believe past messenger (s) than to believe the present messenger. Most of the messengers from God you stand quoting today, it is because they have left the scene. When they were on the scene, only few people believed them as messengers of God.
When Jesus Christ was here on Earth, how many people believed Him? Do you know that in the first century, that it was an abomination for one to touch the Bible or open it for it attracted instant death! They are calling Jesus, Jesus everywhere today, “Jesus Igwe, my Jesus!” as if they believed in him, but you know why.
When Christ was in Jesus, no human being ever believed him, except the elects of his day. However, immediately he finished his course and gave way, the whole humankind rallied round that name “Jesus”. Jesus became a household name. Well, let me stop there.
Since you have believed that I proceeded from God, believe also that I am going back to Him. For the fact that I proceeded from God with a heavenly Message, only those that also proceeded from God will hear, understand and then believe Me, the rest will not. However, we are children of God. Only those that have talked and walked with God will believe us. The rest will not.
John the Apostle recorded it that way. If they had known God, they would have known us; but because they do not know God, they can never know us. That is why they liken us to other religious groups that are prevalent everywhere. However, wise people, intelligent people who believe in carrying out deep investigations into certain mysteries; note, nobody has ever investigated this Faith without concluding that this Faith is a supernatural Faith.
I thank God for what is taking place in this Faith. The more I speak, the more I see that thing revolving. It gives Me courage to continue to speak. Yes! The power of transformation is embedded in the Spoken Word.
Remember the purpose of the meeting; it is the last purification of the Bride, which I did in less than three minutes. Just like Josiah did it in his day when he said, “Forget about that old ritual you used to observe before entering the temple. Come, give me small water there.” He sprinkled it on them and said, “All of you go in, eat, drink and play your roles; let God smite me.”
Immediately they entered, the glory of God came down. We are in this meeting, in His Presence to thank God. I am touching on too many things. I will not go on the dangerous side, that is, reminding you on the various ways or areas where you offended the Son of Man.
You did it in ignorance. That is why I could not lay any charge against anybody. Another thing is that I answered a very serious call one day concerning you. I was asked a very serious question: why I am interested that nobody in this Faith will get lost. The Voice said, “Why do you want to carry everybody along instead of getting better replacement out there?”
I said, “You know, I have been dwelling with these people all these years. Even some of these young ones were unborn when we started our romance; some were too tender, but now they are grown-ups. I have mastered their lifestyles; I have understudied all of them. I feel happier staying with them”.
The Voice said, “Are you sure?” I said, “Yes, I have been dwelling with them all these years. I know their inadequacies; I know their weaknesses; I can cope with them”.
The Voice said, “You mean they will not trouble you there?” I said, “Well, they won’t trouble Me. Even if they trouble Me, I know how to control everything because we have been together all these years and we have mastered ourselves. I preferred dwelling with them to living with an angel I know not. I prefer dwelling with the devil I know very well than dwelling with an angel I know nothing of”.
He said, “Are you sure?” I said, “Let me place my life there. If I complain to you concerning any of them, cast Me out from Paradise if I dare complain”. The Voice said, “Are you sure?” I said, “Yes!” He said, “Ok, carry them along”.
That was when it was serious. I had no other option than to trim down the number. But looking at your faces, it was a mission impossible to Me. It will break my heart. I will rather leave it open so that the person who is no longer interested in walking with Me can stay behind so that my conscience will be free.
However, to say that I hindered that person, no. my conscience will prick Me. That is why I gave all of you equal opportunity and made it optional: If you like, come. If you do not like, do not come. This is because I am in this camp meeting for one thing. I am given an assignment to assess you, because you are about to be presented to no other person but to the same Son of Man.
After preparing the Church, as a chaste virgin, He will also present them to Himself. If I present you to the world, they do not know who you are and they will not even understand. In other words, I have been walking in and out of you, aiming at preparing you to suit myself, for I remain the One that will still dwell with you in eternity. Why is it necessary to do it? It is to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
Remember that time when we were limping, the question came in 1996: “Son of Man, will you declare? This journey is too tough. Your people are stubborn with stony hearts like their forefathers! Will you declare this Message, for that is where their salvation is hidden? Will you declare this to them?” I said, “Yes. I will declare”.
The Voice said, “Are you sure?” I said, “Yes, put Me to test. I must declare. I will declare; I will declare”. The Voice said, “It may cost your life”. I said, “No problem; I will declare”. “The Voice said, “Will they believe?” I said, “Yes, they will believe”.
The Voice said, “Son of Man, why are sounding like this? Are you saying they will believe this Message, which no human being has ever echoed amen to?” Not even those that followed Jesus, they did not believe him.
That was why immediately Jesus Christ departed; they went back to the temple and continued in their temple worship as Sabatharians even till today, nullifying the work of Christ on Calvary.
Do you know that the Laws of Moses nullified the purpose of Christ dying on the Cross? It made it of non-effect.
The Voice said, “Son of man, do you think you have the courage to bear what will follow this Message for the Cross of Christ has not ceased its offence? Can you bear the trouble that is associated with this Message?” “I said, “Well, my life is tied to it. I will declare it”. “You mean they will believe,” The Voice said. I said, “Sure, they will believe”.
The Voice said, “Can you give Me reason why you are sounding like this?” I said, “Sir, I have taught them”. And really, I took my time starting from Genesis chapter one verse one to groom you page by page, chapter by chapter, line by line, precept upon precept, a little here, a little there to the book of Revelation.
When the yoke became extremely difficult, to make my journey shorter, I resorted to daily worship. I went further to supreme-impose it by making it mandatory that family altar would start at exactly 4 O’clock in the morning and everybody must take bath, wash your teeth before coming. I placed it that more than one-hour sleep for a Christian is a luxury.
I subjected everybody to rigorous fasting and praying, to the study of the Word, including myself; and we were looking like skeletons. Children we had in the wilderness do not know what we are saying. You are enjoying the sweats of your fathers and mothers who paid a great price.
This salvation cost us something. Our infants also got their own share in the suffering when they could take their bath as early as 4:00am. Each time we went to fellowship, nobody would know when we would be back. Without any prior notice, you would go in the evening; nobody would see you again for a day or two. No civil servant had any excuse; your work was useless nonsense.
I was a civil servant that time and the time that we were meeting was from 3:00 pm to 10:00pm every day. However, there was one amazing thing: our food never spoilt one day; our food never went sour; for one day even when we had no refrigerator, we never cared.
For the sake of this Gospel truth, many of us trekked from Onitsha to Abagana to an fro. When you hear Abagana, it is not Oyeagu. From Oye-agu to the village is almost ten miles, we were trekking it. That time, Father Abraham and his group, including Brother Okey who is now my son-in-law, they were trekking from Opi to Ehamufu—a distance of over 30 miles, for the sake of this Gospel truth.
Well, why am I rehearsing a little of these things? It is for you to see that we did not pick it on a platter of gold. In spite of all those troubles, many left, God still upheld you steadily till this end. If we were told that we would remain alive and be a part of the end of this ministry, we would doubt it.
At a point, we thought we were perishing. Our parents threw us away; we were rejected, dejected and ostracized. Today, you are all looking good. You can now wear wig, perm your hair with different hairstyles using your cosmetics, but that time, your baby of two months old will start plaiting your local Igbo type of plaiting without any attachment. Many of you joined us, especially sisters, when we were wearing skirt and blouse, which was a great abomination that time.
It was an abomination to put on skirt and blouse no matter how young, no matter how big. As at that time, anything alcohol attracted death penalty; to show you how strict the matter was then. However, today, many of you that joined along the way, you think it was a pleasurable trip from the beginning. It was not so.
Thus, God rewarding us at last with eternal life, it goes to show that God is really a faithful God. He is not making any mistake. If you never passed this experience, you will not know what I am saying.
Look at Sister Florence, the wife of Brother Dan Chukwuemeka, the Deacon, she was my neighbor that time. I remember the day I carried the Message to all of them in their house because my tailor was living in their house. She ran mad because she was a deliverance minister in ZOE Ministry. She knew I was proclaiming the truth but her faith could not come closer to obeying.
It is just like Sister Chika Onyema. She was in the Church; after hearing this Gospel truth, she said, “This truth is above me and I don’t have the strength to obey this type of truth”. Immediately she heard that Grace had appeared, she said, “Yes, God knows my heart”.
That is why all of you are in this most holy Faith. I really thank God. From January 1, 2011 till this very night of 31^st December 2011, look around and cast your mind back. Do you have any regret? Any regret? Can you see anything around you, which will make you to glorify God?
Thus, we are in His Presence tonight to thank Him for what He has already done for us. He has done us good.
Even the Holy Spirit that has been our Comforter, we beckoned on Him to help us for the journey was very, very rough and He really answered our prayer; for without the help of the Holy Spirit, nobody would have made it till the end. Amen.

THE END IS HERE AT LAST

The end is here at last. If you do not know, know it. Even after dismissing from this camp meeting, keep your eyes open. Remember we read it in the Message titled “I Am Your Mercy Seat.”

If you do not have a copy of that Message, do not ever go without it. Go and get that Message titled “I Am Your Mercy Seat.” It contained the things that will help you, for what is left, no preaching can accomplish it. What will accomplish it is time, only time. Why? The Ark is closed; the testimony is also sealed.
The next testimony we are going to share and jump up is the one we shall share in Paradise. The Bride of Christ will no longer have any revival in this mortal form. This is the climax of the revival the Bride of Christ will experience in this mortal estate. The next revival will be in Paradise. It will be in your theophany body, for you will not go higher than where you are now. You have reached the highest point.
You have reached the standard, which the Almighty God set, which has been my focal point. From the very beginning, it has been my focal point.
Remember I told you, whether you would understand or not, keep on going, towards the end, you will understand all things. If you do not make haste, you will not get at the Gate, which is my stopping point. You will be waiting for Me there. In addition, precisely on 11th June 2011, we arrived at the Gate and we have been waiting there for those latecomers and doubting Thomases.
For their sake, the Son of Man went back again and started revisiting all the old Messages. He went as far as printing them in book form to make sure He loses nobody, to make sure that there is equal revelation in the Bride. For without that way, there is no way the Bride can attain unity of revelation—for faith is revelation—all at the same time.
Hence, we are enjoying our gathering because no local Assembly is higher than the other or more spiritual than the other. No minister is higher than the other, thereby confirming my Message titled “The Equality of the Brethren in Christ.”
I have to give God the glory for the publication ministry, starting from the tape ministry down to publication.
I equally glorify God on behalf of the brothers and sisters that rallied round Me, co-operating with Me in transcribing, typesetting, proof-reading, printing, in every aspect. Hence, in less than one year and three months, we were able to produce not less than two hundred and forty-eight books.
While we were thanking God, we also established an ultramodern library that meets the taste of time with sophisticated equipment, all well installed.
The climax is the establishment of the website, which is the talk of the day, the transport Christ has used to carry out His Message to all the ends of the world, which made it possible for the end to come; for if the Gospel of the Kingdom is not preached to all the ends of the Earth—and to make it possible, God put something in place because whatever prophetic event is for our own good, God will use it to foster His Kingdom.
Thus, I am not surprised that something that never existed before came into existence and God capitalized on it immediately using it to transport Himself and His Message round the whole world in less than one second. Like lightning, play, play, play it came to reality.
Moreover, in that website today everybody is happy. So far nobody has called us devils, rather everybody is praising God on our behalf. Some are even doubting if the supernatural occurrence (the manifestation of the Pillar of Cloud) happened in our midst.
If it is fake, if no other country challenges it, America would have challenged it. However, instead of challenging it, they praised God.
It is like what was displayed in this meeting which many of you have already captured. Not less than six cameras captured it in this meeting. It is not abracadabra; I permitted it for a purpose: To prove to you that you are already sitting down here with your glorified bodies, only waiting for time.
I demonstrated it one day by typing it with something. I said that no matter how a man courageously goes to a native doctor asking for charm that will insulate him from bullet, machete, or things like that, no matter how courageous that person might be, that person can hardly submit himself to be used as an experiment.
Ask him to go out, then invite the police officer to fire him to make sure the thing is effective, he will say no, but by faith he has believed.
Truly speaking, he does not know whether the charm will be effective or not, until he runs into serious problem or emergency where he is being fired at, after which he rubbed his hands at his stomach and everywhere without any sign of hurt. That is when he will believe that the charm is effective. This is exactly where you are now. Amen.

I am THE Consolation OF THE BRIDE

Remember what I am saying, he has already told you that there is going to be trouble anytime from now, and the trouble will be a great trouble globally where he will divert the attention of the entire world and in the midst of the trouble, you are gone.

I said for now your duty is to KEEP ON waiting and watching as you see events unfold on a daily basis, DO NOT ever pray that there would be no trouble. Otherwise, you are praying against your departure for your departure is tied to it.
Any day that trouble comes and the attention of the people of the entire world is diverted to that trouble, in the midst of that trouble you remain here or you are hurt, know that I am not He.
Let me give you your last consolation. In time past I used to tell you that any day you do not see the Son of Man, please weep. However, henceforth, I do not say so. I do not make that statement again. Rather, I am your consolation. Any morning you woke up, called my number and I responded, go to bed and rest no matter where you are or you call anybody that is in this Faith who walks closer to Me especially Apostle Kelechi who is almost my wife—yes, he is almost my wife; I do not need to say it, you all know that—just enquire: “Is the Son of Man still around?”
Believe it if you can, I AM THE RAPTURE. I am the One Who is going to deliver all of you into Paradise.
If you do not believe these things, why demonstrating it even this evening of 31^st December 2011? In order that those that are hearing the song will know that I came down here. By the time the world will know Who the Son of Man is, He must have been on His way home, not that He has gone but He is on His way home. In other words, he will not stay long again. You will not stay longer than what you supposed to stay. This trouble I am talking about may start tonight; it may even start tomorrow morning.
In addition, once it starts, there is no going back. It will start in such a severe way that the world will be running helter-skelter, no place to hide. Do not bother yourself as to whether it will happen this night or tomorrow. When we heard that Voice, which said, “Son of Man, I have glorified you before and I will glorify you again;” the Voice went further to say that when the Son of Man shall be glorified, we shall be glorified together with Him.
Glorifying Him (the Son of Man) means going back to where He came from, that is going back. You proceeded from God and you are all going back to God. I have reconciled you unto God, you are no longer enemies; and as long as I am here you must be here, you cant go ahead of me for you DO NOT know the way. If I did not tell you that we have come to the end, do you think you would have known? You know events that will mark the end, now we have hopefully arrived at the end.
GOD WARNED VERY WELL THAT IF WE CONTINUE TO WAIT WHILE THE ARK IS OPEN THAT THERE MIGHT BE PROBLEM, SO HE DECIDED TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYBODY TO LOOK SIDEWAYS, THE ARK IS STRONGER THAN ANY TOOL A HUMAN BEING CAN FABRICATE. IT IS NOT WOODEN ARK, YOU ARE INSIDE AN ARK THAT IS NOT MADE WITH HUMAN HANDS AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT ARK IS. BESIDES, WHOEVER ENTERS THERE HAS AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED INTO HIS REST, IS IT NOT TRUE? ONCE YOU HAVE ENTERED YOU HAVE ENTERED.
THAT IS WHY I TOOK MY TIME TO PREPARE YOU, MAKING SURE THAT NOBODY WILL HAVE PROBLEM(S) AT THE GATE. I AM NO LONGER TALKING ABOUT THE GATE, YOU HAVE CROSSED THE GATE. I AM NO LONGER TALKING ABOUT MY TRAIN MOVING AND ARRIVING, MY TRAIN HAS EMPTIED ALL OF YOU INTO WHERE YOU CAN NO LONGER GO OUT, EVEN IF YOU DESIRE TO COME OUT, IN LESS THAN ONE MINUTE YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND FOR WHAT YOU WILL SEE CAN NEVER PERMIT YOU. Move forward, backward or sideways you are still where you are.
This is the concept of eternal security. You are only eternally secured in Christ. A man was telling Me the other day that the most important thing is to have Jesus Christ. I said, “My friend, how will you know when you have Jesus Christ?” He said, “Why are you asking me that question? Don’t you read the Bible; don’t you know what the Bible said you would do? Once you do it, you have believed Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ automatically comes into your life.”
In other words, if the Devil reads it and does it, Jesus Christ will automatically enter the heart of the Devil. Or do you want to tell me that the Devil does not read Bible? He reads the Bible more than you do. The Apostles made it clear that if the Devil can impersonate himself to be an angel of God. Then what do you think about his messengers? That they will do more.
That is why we are happy that we are not deceived. In a situation where there are so many impersonations, so many fabrications and counterfeits, it takes God to come and vindicate the truth. If God does not vindicate it, everybody is lost. Is it not true? This is the essence of the Pillar of Cloud that settles every controversy. How can somebody be under the Cloud and get lost? Unless you are not under the Cloud.
When we talk about the Cloud, the Cloud, the Cloud, the Cloud is even standing before you. Somebody was talking about the Cloud destroying us, I said no, that the Cloud cannot destroy us. If He should destroy us, what will He gain? We are the object of His praise and not of His anger and He called us to receive salvation and not destruction.
Thus, He will save us to the utmost for His Name’s sake. Because He has called us His people, vindicated His presence among us, it is impossible for Him to withdraw from the Covenant, which He entered into with me.
We are in His Presence to give Him praise for what He has already accomplished in our lives. The most important thing is the salvation of our souls, God Almighty counting you and I worthy, using His own hand to pen down our names in the Book of Life before the world began and in our dispensation, we manifested only to identify with that Eternal Program. What a wonderful privilege we are enjoying in Christ! Is it not praiseworthy?
Something we could not accomplish with our own efforts, God said, “Stop struggling.” We surrendered everything at His feet, then He became our Burden Bearer. See where we are today. We have many, many testimonies to share.
God told us how Nigeria will experience severe hardship, how there is going to be mass unemployment, how too many people will lose their jobs, how the financial sector will collapse and everything like that; throwing people into hardship and confusion. But among us, we can never be the worst hit.
That no matter how the trouble might be that God will preserve and protect His own. That God is going to make it in such a way that nobody will know that you are in Nigeria, for Nigerians wear their troubles on their faces. Looking at all of you in this meeting even those that could not afford two square meals in a day, look at how plumpy you are with your children.
You do not look like people that are passing through hardship, you are not looking admirable because of the food you are eating, no, it is God’s touch. We are even looking better than people that have money that can enjoy every good thing of the world.

WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD

He is worthy of our praise. If you do not have good reasons why you should say God thank you, then something is wrong with you. I do not care what is going to happen in the year 2012, but I have enjoyed the year 2011 in Christ and Christ alone.
Hence, to all of you that are in this camp meeting, I say thank you for your cooperation all these years. Thank you immensely for paying heed to my teachings, to my doctrines which are not Mine but that of He that sent Me.
I REALLY THANK ALL OF YOU. I EQUALLY THANK MY CO-LABOURERS IN THE VINEYARD ESPECIALLY THE MAN ON MY RIGHT HAND SIDE WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY CONSOLATION. I APPRECIATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ALL AND SUNDRY. EVEN THE INFANTS AMONG YOU, THEY HAVE CONTRIBUTED A LOT. WHEN I SEE THEM MILLING AROUND ME, ESPECIALLY EVERY SUNDAY FELLOWSHIP, IT GIVES ME JOY.
I AM HAPPY DWELLING WITH YOU ALL THESE YEARS AND I ASSURE YOU, I WILL HAVE A NICE TIME, I WILL HAVE PEACE TO DWELL WITH ALL OF YOU IN PARADISE.
Somebody was talking about the trouble of Nigeria, and I said that if the trouble of Nigeria is this little group, which is the Bridal Faith, Nigeria has no trouble. Apart from the few that were left behind, do you know that what I have in this hall is part of the population of Nigeria, which is over 200 million people? The population I have in this camp meeting is the much I collected from Nigeria.
If I ask you to group yourselves according to your states, tribes and languages, you may be surprised to notice that it can be only one man from one state, two or three persons from one local government; some states or local governments are completely missing.
However, when we come together, looking at us the impression we normally have is that we are too many, but are we too many? One block rosary center is greater than the population I have in this camp meeting, yet this population in this camp meeting is the redeemed of this particular generation saved from Nigeria.
In the book of Revelation, John the Revelator saw them coming home and they were coming in different groups, in different tribes, in different languages and things like that and the angels were asking, “Who are these people that are clothed in white garment coming into this place?” Moreover, that white garment, the Bible says that it is the righteousness of the saints.
Then God answered saying, “These are the redeemed of God, washed, purified, made clean by the blood of Christ. These are the people that are coming in the righteousness of Christ from different tribes, languages, tongues and nations.” In addition, at this end-time, it pleased the Almighty God to include you, even your children, your daughters in this eternal arrangement. What a wonderful privilege we are in!
A sister came to us and we were discussing among the Elders. She was doing a little service. I enquired from her whether she was in the meeting with her brothers and sisters and she said yes. I said, “All of them?” She said yes. “Here in this camp meeting?” I asked again. She said yes. Then I said, “Your mother is one of the luckiest women on this Earth.”
It is not easy to save a human being. Look at one funny thing about this Faith; those you think will hear and believe will say no, and the people you think will not believe will be number one to believe. It is really amazing.
THUS, IF YOU HAPPENED TO BE IN THIS CAMP MEETING WITH YOUR HUSBAND AND CHILDREN WHEN THE BOOK IS CLOSED AND THE TESTIMONY SEALED, IF YOU LOVE DRINKING, DRINK.
DO YOU KNOW WHY I AM SAYING IT? GO TO THE MESSAGE TITLED “MESSAGE FROM HELL,” PREACHED BY NO OTHER PERSON BUT THE RESURRECTED BODY, VINDICATED BY PROPHECIES AND THE PILLAR OF CLOUD, YOU WILL SEE WHAT AWAITS MANKIND THAT BLUNTLY REFUSED TO OBEY THE TRUTH FROM GOD FOR THE SALVATION OF THEIR SOULS WHICH IS OFFERED TO ALL MEN FREE OF CHARGE.
Didn’t I say it earlier that many people do not value free gift, there should be no lamentation. If you are grieved that your parents or your children are not SAVED, I may give you bed inside the ark, make you regret even coming into the ark or, if I have my way, I will bring in that person and throw you out but unfortunately there is no way FOR THAT. It cannot be done again for there is no replacement IN THE BOOK again.
If your name is not there, it is not there and it can never be there for there is nothing you can do again to make your name to be IN THAT BOOK, and there is nothing you can do again to make your name to be removed FROM THAT BOOK.
THE BOOK HAS BEEN CLOSED, I AM THE ONE WHO HAS THE INK BOTTLE IN HIS HANDS. I HAVE FOLDED THE SCROLL, I HAVE SEALED THE BOOK, I HAVE FINISHED MY COURSE, I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH, I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, SO DO NOT GRIEVE. FOR IF YOU DO IT; YOU ARE WOUNDING YOURSELF UNNECESSARILY. DO NOT PLEAD FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE LOST FOR GOD WARNED THAT YOU SHOULD NOT PLEAD FOR SUCH PEOPLE FOR YOUR PLEA CANNOT CROSS THE CEILING.
They were given ample (abundant) opportunity to repent as people were given in the days of Noah, as they were given in the days of Lot, and Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah, as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man.”
The Scripture said that they were buying and selling, drinking, marrying, being given unto marriage, they never knew the time Noah and the family entered the ark. You see people calling Jesus, Jesus everyday today, “Jesus Igwe!!!” as if they believe in Jesus.
However, you know that when Christ was in Jesus no human being believed in Jesus except the elect of that day. Immediately Jesus finished his mission and gave way, the whole human nations rallied around that name and “Jesus” became a household name. Let Me stop there.
If you have believed that I proceeded from God, believe also that I am going back to Him, and for the fact that I proceeded from God, with a heavenly Message, all those that also proceeded from God can hear, understand and believe Me. The rest will not. We are the children of God. All those that walked with God will believe us, the rest will not.
John the Apostle sounded it that way: “If they had known God, they would have known us. However, because they do not know God, they can never know us.”
That is why they likened us to other religious groups that are prevailing everywhere. While wise people, intelligent people are interested in carrying this good tidings to their homes. Nobody that has investigated this Faith without concluding that this Faith is a supernatural Faith. Amen.

APPRECIATIONS AND TESTIMONIES

I thank God for what is taking place in our midst. Remember what He said in the beginning of the meeting that it is the sealing of the Bride, which I did in less than three minutes. Immediately they entered, the glory of the Lord came down.

Like I said before, I am touching on so many things but I will not go to the dangerous side, that is, reminding you of the various ways or areas you offended the Son of Man, but you did it in ignorance and that is why I did not count it as charge against anyone.
I want our brethren to share their experiences in this Faith as regards the year 2011. Let us know Bishop David’s experiences.
BISHOP DAVID (began to speak): “The meaning of the song I sang is that Almighty God has gathered us together to make us one. I thank God for giving me the opportunity. Actually, it did not take me by surprise. I am in the meeting to thank God for what He did for me this very year 2011. Some of you heard what took place from November to this very December 2011. When Daddy talked about the year 2011, there are too many experiences that God saw me through.
“Once He speaks, before you know it, it will come to pass. Let me share my experiences directly so that I will allow others the opportunity to do the same. First, let me appreciate Almighty God for ushering us in, that today I can say that I am one of them. Actually, that is my joy. Just in November, on the 5^th I was admitted in a hospital, one orthopedic hospital at Karu because I was having problem with my leg and the problem is right inside my leg. When they took me to the hospital, they said that I should keep two hundred thousand cash before they could attend to my leg. I saw my people going up and down to get that money and I spent only five days because I could not afford to pay for their bed reason being that a day there is seven thousand five hundred Naira.
“Thus, I spent only five days and asked them to take me to another hospital where I continued with the injection and other things. At the end, I spend almost three hundred and fifty-five thousand Naira.
“They said I should come back after two weeks so that they would check. Almighty God monitored everything as I discovered I was having a great healing. Then after the two weeks, another medical doctor examined it and said I should bring six hundred thousand Naira. Immediately, I called Daddy and told Him about it and He said, “Run away from that hospital now. I am in charge, I am going to take care of that leg. These people they came to rob us in this country”. I obeyed the Voice and ran away.
“My brethren kept on praying and Almighty God himself prayed for me also. Brethren, I am standing to tell you that I didn’t go there again. I am here completely healed, there is no other problem in my legs again. I saw in one of our Messages; I know all of us know this Message very well, where God said that if Almighty God can open our eyes to see the number of demons attacking everyone of us every day, we shall marvel. It is such a surprising thing that Almighty God is protecting us. I am telling you the truth.
“I do not know how to appreciate what Almighty God is doing for me. There is lot of attacks here and there. One day I saw people playing ball, I said there is need to have Christ in me. These people are 22 and at the end of the day all of them are still tired while the ball is still sustained. There is something in that ball that make it not to be tired after being kicked by 22 people.
“There is something in us. What am I saying that demons are attacking us but because there is Christ in us, the demons will be kicking here and there but because there is something in you, you still remain alive and kicking. Remain blessed everybody.” (Bishop David stopped speaking and the Resurrected Body, Who is the Son of Man continued).
I thank God that Bishop David is in the meeting at last. You see, it pays to trust in God. From the time he heard about this meeting, he continued praying and continued alerting me. Within the period we were to conclude the arrangement, his minister, because, you know, he is driving the honourable minister of Interior, Comrade Abamoron. Bishop David is his personal driver who takes him everywhere.
When the man travelled abroad we continued praying. Finally, he landed at Abuja national airport only for him to be directed by the President of Nigeria to go to Madalla in Suleja with Bishop David to check the level of havoc done by the Boko Haram bombing of the Church.
As a result, they called Me from Madalla and I asked him whether he has obtained any permission from the minister, he said no that the minister has no other alternative and he doesn’t trust any other driver.
I said, “No, if I do not see you in this meeting I will feel very bad because I know how he was ordained pastor under the bridge at Wuse Zone II. Sister David, are you in the meeting? I can never forget that fateful day. He was ordained the same way the little David was ordained while Saul was on the throne. Nobody knew that we were in Abuja for one purpose: to ordain him (Bishop David). He never knew we were coming to ordain him.
The Lord spoke to Me, gave Me a sign and I summoned two ministers to go with Me. We left for Abuja in the morning without informing anybody. Along the way I called their Pastor, Dr. Stephen Nwufo that time. Instead of going to the Church, he commanded all the members to come to his house and make the arrangement to host Me in his house.
In addition, the Lord spoke to us that we should not go there first. That we should go to their fellowship venue under the bridge. Anybody we see there in their pulpit preaching to his family alone, that the person is the Pastor that will pastor the Church at Abuja and that I should make it clear to them that the Church should not be in Abuja but Nasarawa. Well, we glorified the Name of God.
Do you know the funny thing about it; the Church was located in Nasarawa when Nasarawa State had not been created. Less than two years, the Federal Government created Nasarawa State with the capital at Lafia. Bishop David was ordained as Pastor and was commanded with his family to keep it secret. What happened? We drove down to Abuja, chartered a taxi straight away to their fellowship venue though we knew they were gathering in their pastor’s house.
To obey that Voice was a trouble in Me. I said, “Well, the Pastor has already told us where to come, that brethren were there. Nevertheless, a Voice told Me that I should go to their fellowship center that someone was there ministering to his family.”
We went. Getting there, I stopped at the little gate and saw Bishop David on the pulpit with his wife and the two children. They were the only people in the Church and we entered. What is more, they were praying seriously. When we entered, we sat down gently. A long prayer was made and after the prayer they opened their eyes and said, “God bless you sir”. We were like angels.
After some time I asked him a question, “Why are you here with your family?” He said that he came there with his family to worship God. I said, “Were you not aware that your Pastor said that the fellowship will be in his house today?” He said “no”.
I asked if he knew that we were coming and he answered no, that he came as it has been his manner to come on time every fellowship day not knowing that the fellowship had been shifted to the Pastor’s house. Moreover, God Who did it spoke to us at Onitsha only to confirm it when we got there.
Immediately, what William Branham the Prophet taught us came to my mind, “That if you are in a dream and you see Brother John Bass wearing this kind of suit with decoration on the hand and everywhere and you spoke to him or had an encounter with him in one way or the other, it was in a dream and the dream vanished. During the day, if you see John Bass coming to you, wearing the same dress you saw him with in the dream, he (the Prophet) said, “Proclaim that word for it is thus saith the Lord and it must come to pass”.
Immediately we noticed that he was ignorant of what was happening we were left with no other choice than to carry out the assignment. We ordained him Pastor in charge and told him to keep it secret. For almost one year, he remained a secret Pastor until trouble ensued in their midst which led to the ousting of Dr. Nwufo. Then Bishop David automatically became the Pastor.
Moreover, immediately he became the Pastor the Household flourished because when a righteous man is on the throne everybody is attracted but when a wicked man is on the throne everybody is scared for nobody will like to walk with a wicked man.
If you are having anything to do with a wicked man, you are risking your life. Any day God will visit his wicked ways, you will not be spared.
Look at Ahab a wicked king. The day God visited him, all that took side with him, all that visited him, all that shook hands with him, God killed all of them. Assuming you don’t smoke Indian Hemp and you befriend people that smoke Indian Hemp, any day the Police will visit them and you are found there, they will carry you too, you are an Indian hemp smoker.
That is why if you are a true child of God, you should separate yourself completely from all wicked people. You should not place yourself in a place where God will ask you why.
I want Bishop Obadiah to share his experiences with us. He was with us from the very beginning and has remained with us till now. I cannot forget the day we really exhausted ourselves at Aba looking for the fellowship center. I cannot forget that day he made Me to know many places I could not have known. I was driving everybody around with my station wagon, we got to a place where the vehicle could no longer enter, we parked the vehicle and began to trek.
I remember Brother Ugoala and Brother Frank. I am happy that the two of them escaped the wrath of God and they are now in the meeting with Bishop Obadiah. They are the first fruits we captured at Aba: Bishop Obadiah, Brother Ugoala and Brother Frank. Then others started coming gradually like Brother Polycap who is sick, he is an Apostle, with Brother James Nnadi.
Then a little while others romanced with the faith and finally we met Brother Isaac Monday, the policeman. He resigned from the Nigerian Police and then joined us. Finally, he went to Aba. Then God helped us. That same day, not another we met another policeman, a mobile police officer; he is the resurrection and the death. Somebody who passed through fire; Brother Abraham the Deacon I cannot forget you till eternity, a man of faith and vision.
Look at somebody who survived cancer of the nose, of the tongue, of the lip, everywhere. He went to all the hospitals including military hospital and they asked him to prepare to die but God said no.
I cannot forget the day he called telling me to permit him to go to Abuja to collect his pension for many years the police service commission never paid him his pension. After prayers I asked him to go that they will pay him. Something you know that it is very difficult for serving officers that are healthy and retired healthy to go and collect their entitlements; from Nigerian Police Headquarters to Nigerian Police Commission. It is a difficult thing but the Lord made a way for him.
Less than one week, our brother came back with his money. Besides, he has never for one day drifted away from the Faith. Because he survived when His people thought he would die, they rallied round and said he will die, they used masquerade to go round his house and threatened to stone him to death that they have never come across a man that escaped death through cancer. We were wondering what was wrong with the people.
He called Me and I told him to walk straight away to the nearest police station and make a formal report so that the police will arrest all the people. He reported the case and the police took over the matter. Today we have the victory.

GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN HELPING ME ALL MY DAYS

Bishop Elijah is the first fruit I collected from Zonkwa, I won’t forget it, the day I nearly collapsed. I made a hectic missionary trip, missionary outing that took us from Onitsha to Jos after a vey lengthy trek.
That time I could preach from morning till morning for seven consecutive days without food. Once I have my groundnut and my water, finish(that is all).
I went to Jos, preached the Message overnight, the following day we went to Dadinkowa through the Lantan south; we thought it was a short journey. They carried us and when we got to Yelwa, our vehicle could not move any longer. Then we trekked from Yelwa to Dadinkowa inside a mighty forest. Brother Ben Okezue was there with Me together with Brother Ojiakor.
In that place, I saw the kind of mosquito I had never seen all my life. That was the place I nearly committed suicide, I used one full tin of shelltox insecticide and finished it inside the room, and then slept inside. Yet the shelltox insecticide could not kill any Mosquito.
We preached the Gospel till daybreak making it two consecutive nights I never slept. Hence, we continued. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, we left Dadinkowa in a pickup and drove down to Jos. Instead of making a stopover, we continued to Zonkwa. At Zonkwa, hell was let loose. We had to preach for another night starting from that afternoon till the following day non-stop.
We left Zonkwa for Jos, feeding on sugarcane alone. That was the time I discovered that sugarcane is another food of its own. We were feeding on sugarcane alone. We got to Jos thinking that they would help us. We never knew that they were expecting us to give them food.
We drove to their houses. Unfortunately, they locked the places. We drove to their fellowship centre, and we could only afford to stay in the open field, no preparation at all but they had already eaten their own food without our knowledge.
Before I knew what was happening, they called the Son of Man to the pulpit. I said, “What! How wicked people can be. For that reason, I ran away. Before they knew it, I had already reached their NASCO industry, I was looking for a way to go to where they have their new market which is Genta Market.
Brother Ojiakor followed me, the thing was too much on us. Jos tortured Me very well. That is why I said you would be meeting Me at Onitsha, that I will never come to Jos again. The last experience I had with you was where you packed Me inside Ben Adikwu’s house, during a lengthy meeting that lasted for three days; we were all there with you. That day we heard your people saying, “Na Him! Na Him!” because of what took place.
There was no light in Jos, the transformers were all faulty, the generators you hired were all faulty, but you really punished Me. They were preparing their food somewhere and were serving themselves, but packed Brother Ojiakor and Me inside Ben’s house and forgot us there.
Their ministers came round, we were complaining that we were dying after two days of ministration without food but they could not do anything. They said they made the arrangement that all of us will feed in one place but they did not tell us. If they bring food for us, is it a crime?
I went out with Brother Ojiakor and bought spaghetti, cooked spaghetti with our own hands in their own place. By the time we could finish taking our bath, Weston Fihala, Brother Paul Ogwuzie and the rest had finished it. They ate it on the spot. That day I cried like a little baby.
I told Brother Ojiakor that we are going back that night: “We are going to board a vehicle this night. If God will put us into Hellfire, let us go to Hellfire. We went to a place where we bought a little Suya meat and some oranges.
You see, another thing happened. I placed the Suya meat on the table with some other thing we bought. There was one that is fair in complexion from Benin City, Thomas whose wife was a prophetess. Thomas came without asking any question. He did not only ate part but carried the whole thing away. I asked why, and they replied, using their adage that said that an eagle does not leave food. You ate food that does not belong to you, are you crazy?
I said, “No more preaching this night.” Brother Ojiakor pacified Me, and we went out together again that night in search of food. Jos really punished Me. Nevertheless, I still love them.
It was at last that I noticed that it was a conspiracy. God has always been helping Me all my days. I normally made up my mind to go without food even before going so that whatever I see it will not stop me from preaching the word of God.
Bishop Obadiah, share your experiences to your brethren. Don’t say remain blessed for there is no other blessing I am expecting; I have received my final blessing. My final blessing is the assurance of the salvation of my soul, bringing Me to this Ark that can never be opened again. Do not tell us what happened in the beginning; tell us what happened in the year 2011.
Bishop Isaac Igwe, I wanted to feature you in the pulpit so that you will share testimony with us, but you are not in the right mood. Until we get to the place where God said we should wait. From there, you begin to see them wandering away for one reason or the other, only for them to come back when the Bridegroom had already locked the door.
There is one that came from Opi this afternoon with her own excuse on why she could not be in the meeting except for today, or even more. Well, there was no way I could entertain such a mess from too many others. I learnt some people came even this day from other local Assemblies, maybe to know whether we are still in Jerusalem. Maybe they are mockers of the Bride. Do not worry, one day you will come and you will not see us. I repeat, one day you will come and you will not see us.
What is my joy? If the departure is not at hand, God will not ask Me to close this door. Moreover, it happened according to His Word. He said everything will start in Jerusalem which is the Valley of Decision, and will equally end in Jerusalem. Has it not come to pass?
From Jerusalem which is the Valley of Decision, have we not reached the whole end of the world? Have we not stormed Onitsha and everywhere with our customs? Moreover, before our eyes in this Valley of Decision, we heard it loud and clear: grim, grim, “Son of Man, close the book, seal up the testimony.” Did I add any other thing?
I know another one is coming because having petitioned to Him to confirm that He accepted my mission, He used the rain to confirm that you are the one. He used another rain again, for it is unusual. It is very unusual for anything rainfall to be recorded at this time of the year, which is the ending of December. Rain has not touched the land since October 2011. If it drizzled on 29^thDecember 2011, it rained on 31^thDecember 2011 to mark the ending of the meeting for the meeting is ending officially this night of 31^thDecember 2011 by 12: 00a.m—the meeting comes to an end at that time.
1^st January 2012 is not a part of this meeting. 1^st January 2012 is a New Year. We will merely have our New Year fellowship and then go back to our various homes. Nevertheless, the meeting officially ends 12 midnight, 31^thDecember 2011. God knows what He is doing. Let us know Bishop Obadiah’s experiences.
Bishop Obadiah: “Brethren, I lack words to express the joy that has filled my heart because from the beginning of this ministry, in fact we never expected the ministry to take this shape. At the beginning, we thought it was a mere thought, but along the line, God really showed that He is the One leading.” (Bishop Obadiah stopped and the Son of Man too over).
Okay, thank you very much. I am talking about the year 2011, not how it all started. Brethren, please do not be offended. You know you should be thankful to God that today is another day. Today is the day of joy and it is not expected that somebody should be sad. If you are sad, you are the cause, I am not the cause. I have not made anybody sad but people have made themselves sad. “Had I known,” “Had I known,” is not a good statement. “If I had known,” “If I had known!” is not a good statement.
From now ON, your olive oil will only serve as your body cream or body lotion. There is no other anointing than the anointing that is there when you WEre sealed in. whether you believe it or not, it is settled there. You want to kneel down and pray, I am not against it. pray for another thing not FOR your salvation.
Am I stammering? Is my Voice shaking? If I am not sure, how can I make such an expensive statement in the congregation of the saints? Let me tell you, one day, prayer will stop. The only thing that will continue is praises. Every other thing must stop.
If I am wise, each time I will pray, my prayers will be prayers of thanksgiving only. No more, no less. For He that placed you there knows all your needs; He knows all you need to remain comfortable there. If He is not going to supply those your needs there, He is wicked for locking you in there. I thank God for everything but you are a wonderful people.
I was expecting that the moment I step my feet into this ground, which is called the Valley of Decision, the Galilee of the Gentiles, that I will be greeted with great noise of “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON OF MAN.” But unfortunately not even one person made that statement. Not even one person said “happy birthday” to Me in this camp meeting.
Well, maybe the day I was born was a cursed day. Let me tell you, the greatest gift God has given to this generation is the Son of Man. The greatest gift God dashed— I used the word dashed— to this generation free of charge is the Son of Man.
Do you know that before the Son of Man came, all that were pretending to be your shepherds were tax masters? Am I a tax master? No, for I have remained the only Shepherd that has accepted to render selfless service to mankind. Not even one of them endured one-tenth of what I endured and remained healthy, vibrant, kicking and bubbling.
Do you know why it is like that? My heart is larger than my size—larger than all my trials and temptations, finish. The more they come, the more I keep expanding my heart because I have an elastic heart—very, very elastic. That is why many of you are in this Faith. You are not in this Faith because you fared well. There are some that never made any attempt at all but He decided to create that little mustard seed as faith in them.
I remember the Message I gave that helped many, which I called “Faith for the Faithless”: If you do not know anything that you can believe, simply believe that God sent the Son of Man. Stop there. Let us know Bishop Elijah’s experiences.
Bishop Elijah: “Remain blessed brethren. The wonderful thing is that today we have been sealed into the Ark. This is our joy. In fact, the most joyful day.” (Bishop Elijah stopped and then the Son of Man continued).
You were sealed long, long time ago but not all of you. What was sealed was in the Book of Life, the record where your names were documented in this generation was closed and the testimony sealed. That is the point of our consolation. The Lord has finally sealed us into the Ark. All we have to do now is to rejoice. No more; no less.
Bishop Nath from Anumbe to Ihemamma should come and share his testimony. If anybody will make Paradise through his actions, it is not Brother Nath. Sister Nath, you are a nice woman for you have endured Brother Nath’s punching; you and Sister Chike. You endured his punch and his pushing! Now he has punched into you into Paradise.
I cannot forget my word of consolation that came when your father died (that is Sister Nath’s father). I turned to you and said, Brother Nath, “The best thing that has happened to you is the death of your father-in-law. It is now that you will begin to marry your wife, but as long as her father remained alive, even if he is paralyzed he will never allow any of his sons-in-law to exercise authority over his daughters as their husbands, for he gave his daughters the impression that they could come back and stay with him; that it is not a crime, that they are more protected in his hands than in the hands of their husbands, which is contrary to my Faith.”
You know women love such protective devices. Nobody protects you more than your husband. Let us know Brother Nath’s experiences.
Bishop Nath: “There was a strange thing that happened on 30^th December 2011 when the ministry ended. Brethren, I was crying where I was for something happened. I did not know that the Son of Man was also crying. Thus, when I rose up and people lined and were shouting, I myself I was crying. Do you know what made me to cry? It was because I remembered what happened in the beginning. The first time I heard the massage and rushed to Onitsha because I married three weeks after.
“Immediately I got to Nkpor, because I have been with them—I was asked, “Who is that coming?” For the eyes of the Lord was so red. As a result, I was asked by the ushers (Deacons) to go back. I went somewhere and stayed. And from there He (The Lord, the Son of Man) looked and said, “Brother Nath,” I answered “Sir”.
He said, “If you are a child of God come inside.” Brethren, I took my wife and came in. He told me to come and look at my brethren lying down and that was Brother Christian Dike and other brothers.” (The Son of Man cuts in).
Including John Ekwueme. Anytime something evil is mentioned in this Faith, it is Christian Dike and John Ekwueme. Do you know that I banned Pastor Christian Dike from participating in this camp meeting? It was Apostle Kelechi that pleaded on his behalf. I banned him the same way I banned John Ekwueme and Brother Shed—crafty and subtle people. They had problem from the very beginning and the problem lingered until the very end. If love never projected, they are gone. Moreover, in all their visions and dreams, they saw themselves where they never made it. (Bishop Nath continued).
Bishop Nath: “My Brethren, if my whole body is filled with mouths, I don’t see it to be enough to express my joy. What is more, there is one thing I collected from the Lord. If I do not have any, at least there is one thing I remarked. There is a character that the Lord impacted in us which is the character of defending the Word. If I am eating with you right now and you go contrary to the Word, I will leave that food for you.” (Bishop Nath stopped and the Son of Man, the Eloyhim on two feet continued).
We are called for the defence of the truth. I thank God. For now, there is nothing to defend again. You cannot defend your faith neither are you going to defend the Gospel for any noise that anybody is making now is a domestic noise.
They either make it in Nigeria or make it in Onitsha or make it in your village or work place, which should not be given any single attention. Giving the person attention will make him feel important. By paying attention to a foolish man you make him feel important, but if you disregard him, you make him feel ashamed of himself.
That is why I do not argue with fools for people will hardly see the difference. I do not try it.
Brother Kelechi, please come and give your own testimony. Do not envy him. He dreamt a dream. Almost all of you know about that dream many, many years ago when this ministry took off, where two of us bought identical vehicles—brand new vehicles.
What is more, there was a funny thing in those vehicles. In my own the engine was there but in his own the engine was not there and I commanded him to enter his own vehicle, that we are moving and he was wondering how the vehicle without engine was going to move. However, I said, “Don’t worry. I will tell you what will happen.”
I entered my own, brought out my towing rope made of metal, and spanner, hooked it and tightened the whole thing, then asked him to enter his own vehicle. You see, as long as I am driving, he is also moving. Did you get the Message? He cannot jump out. If he jumps out he will die for the speed I am moving on is also the speed with which he is moving on. If I am slowing down he is also slowing down. If he wants to remove the towing rod, he cannot because after tightening the whole thing, I put the tools inside my own car. Thus, it is impossible for him to loose it. Let us know Apostle Kelechi’s experiences.
APOSTLE KELECHI: “Remain blessed Brethren. I just have only one word to say to you. The God that appeared to us is so compassionate, so loving that when we do not know Him, He planned to save us and when we do not know the way, He equally came by Himself and displayed His splendor before my eyes and gave me the heart to accept Him. I did not know that by 31^st December 2011, I will see myself in Paradise. The same thing is applicable to all of you who have accepted the gift that this Supreme Being has given to us. Amen.” (APOSTLE KELECHI stopped and the Son of Man took over).

ASSESSMENT, CONFIRMATION AND HARVEST

There was no way Jericho would have been destroyed without Caleb and Joshua. There is no way one person would have gone to Sodom and Gomorrah. Two angels were sent. We do not know their names; however, we only know that the Elohim was with them. Whoever the angels are, we do not know their names but we know that they were young men hence the people decided to commit sodomy with them. However, for Jericho we know their names. What instrument did they use to destroy Jericho?
APOSTLE KELECHI: “The Spoken Word!”
What is the name of the instrument the two angels used in setting Sodom and Gomorrah ablaze?”
APOSTLE KELECHI: “The Spoken Word!”
SON OF MAN: Assess this crowd before you. You have been in this camp meeting since 28^thDecember 2011, you arrived on the 28^th December 2011, passed the night with them; I joined on the 29^th December 2011 and has remained till now, which is 31^st December 2011. From your experiences so far, without contradiction, without any ambiguity, tell Me your assessment of this Bride Ministry worldwide as you can see them seated. Check very well, you have been with them from 28^th December 2011 till now, which is 31^st December 2011. Note, 28^th, 29^th, 30^th and 31^st December 2011; tomorrow which is 1^st January 2012 is another year.
APOSTLE KELECHI: “Really, the assessment God has given to us and what I have seen from the 28^th December 2011 that I came down to this Valley of Decision till now, 31^st December 2011, marvels my eyes. And I came to realize that with the Message that You (The Son of Man) have given to us, looking around them, I have never seen a brother or a sister quarrelling with each other. Thus, we can live in peace.”
SON OF MAN: It is better they quarrel than to suppress feelings. Check whether they are suppressing feeling, or what we are seeing is the transformation as a result of their belief of the Truth.
APOSTLE KELECHI: “Having received the Message, looking at everybody, I have not seen anybody here that I will say has not accepted this Faith. And what God did when we came down to this Valley of Decision, His Grace overlapped all of us.”
SON OF MAN: Assess the Bride and make a report to Me. It is a serious matter—very serious matter.
APOSTLE KELECHI: “Just like when the angels reached Sodom, the reaction of the people of Sodom made the angels…”
SON OF MAN: Give your report in less than one minute; otherwise, we will roll into the New Year. Tell Me your opinion about them.
APOSTLE KELECHI: “My opinion is that they have accepted this Faith and they have believed in You.”
SON OF MAN: Is this vineyard ripe?
APOSTLE KELECHI: “It is ripe.”
SON OF MAN: Can we harvest it?
APOSTLE KELECHI: “We can harvest it.”
SON OF MAN: Check very well.
APOSTLE KELECHI: “We can harvest it.”
SON OF MAN: Bye-bye. I accept it. Amen.
Can you believe that God is in the camp? The Justifier of the Gentiles is in the camp. The Destroyer of the Gentiles is also in the camp. The Advocate is in the camp with you. The Judge is in the camp with you. I believe the report of Apostle Kelechi. I believe the report. The report is perfect. Let us bow down our heads.

PRAYER

Our dear heavenly Father, I raise my hand towards the sky, with My head bowed down towards the Earth, thanking You O God for Your goodness and mercy, for Your deliverance, for Your protection all through the year. Giving You our thanksgiving, glory and honour for counting us worthy, putting us into Your Holy Family as Your dear sons and daughters. Thank You for the wonderful privilege given to Me to bear your Name in this generation. Amen.
