PROLOGUE

  1. We thank God for today that we are still alive glorifying and worshipping His Holy name. We are grateful to Him that we are not grouped among those in the region of the Lost not because of our power or might but by His amazing Grace.
  2. We are still believing God that His love and care will continue to guide and guard us as we journey along on this material plane. Let all honour and praise be upon His all conquering Name, Amen.
  3. We are going to consider this topic, “IN THE REGION OF THE LOST” as directed by the Supreme Deity in our midst. I pray fervently that He should inspire me to do justice to this topic. I am a mere mortal and I need His assistance, for I cannot do anything without His backup.
  4. Lets start by reading this scripture John 17:12. As we go on, we will come to know who are those that would be sent into “The Region Of The Lost” and why.
  5. “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the Son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.” John 17:12 KJV
  6. “While I was with them, I was keeping them in your name which you have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the scripture would be fulfilled.” John 17:12.
  7. “During my time here I have kept within your family all of these you gave me. I guarded them so that not one perished, except the son of hell, as the scripture foretold.” John 17:12 LB.
  8. “Thus, if I have been telling you that a great thing is coming to devastate the Earth, to render it desolate, that at the end of it all, the world will be reduced by three quarters- only one quarter will be remaining- is it prophetic? Is it scriptural? In other words, I Am in line. I know what I am saying.” Son of Man, The Smoking Firewood, The Redeemer, The Conqueror.
  9. If we read within the lines of the quotes above, there are final sentences that we should underline in those scriptures that says “but the son of perdition” and in the other version “except the Son of Hell”.
  10. He never lost any except those who fall within the bracket of the Lost. Are they not human beings that was lost? The word says, “that the scriptures will be fulfilled.”
  11. Before you loose anything, there is every likelihood that you have had that thing before you lost it. Is it not true? What was their crime? Their crimes were encircled in the neighborhood of disobedience, rebellion, unbelief, over familiarity etc.
  12. Who would we blame then? Do we blame God who has been preaching, talking to us about His mission, and our safety? God is a perfect architect when it comes to the establishment of wisdom. No mistake in His designs. His calculations are perfect. Hear this!
  13. We are responsible for what we are experiencing. Whatever you sow, you will harvest. If you do not like your harvest, you need to change your seeds.
  14. The demonic, monstrous creatures parading the Earth plane in form of human beings are the seductive spirits (Satanic and devilish) that are tempting the human minds away from God. Their monumental assignment is making sure that all Children of God will not smell paradise by turning their faces and mindset towards the material things of life. With that, their focus will automatically change.
  15. All of us listen to the Messages of Truth which Almighty God espouses us to but we do not want to be honest with that same Truth, rather we form groups of conspirators to deface the messages and give them another interpretation, coloration and meaning.
  16. They use those destructive weapons to seduce the gullible away. Probably, they are not happy seeing those that are worshipping God happily. Elders informs us that ” the movement of the fowl is not always pleasant to the kite.”
  17. “The greatest enemy of God is a false Man of God, a preacher that will cause the people of God to compromise their faith. That is God’s greatest enemy.” Son of Man. WHY WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN ECUMENISM- vol.2, preached 16th Feb.1997, page 99:27. Is that clear? We must be careful.
  18. In the Message-FOLLOW THE CLOUD, vol.2, preached 14th Sept.2003, page 115:46 by The Son of Man. He warned us to Stop .judging this Faith. You have never gone this way before. God has given us a Man. Our duty is to fix our eyes on Him and believe Him forever.”
  19. “I love God for one thing, that He has made a provision even for our children that are yet unborn. That’s where I respect Him more. Not because I am involved. Even if I am not involved. I must support whatever God is doing, because I proceeded from God and I must go back to Him. But there is no way I will never be involved. I say, there is no way.
  20. Known unto God are all His works from the foundation of the world. And He had already set the path every man must go before the world began.
  21. I am trailing the path that was fore-ordained for me and for me alone. That is why I am not having any contestant, and I never contested with anybody.
  22. Nobody voted for me. I never campaigned, nobody elected me, no human being laid hands on me ordaining me one thing or the other. I am still standing in His stead, courtesy of His own ordination and election, no more.
  23. I am talking to you not because I have mouth nor I am privileged to have you as those that claimed to have believed me. Note my phrases. Note the adjectives I am using.
  24. I am talking to you because He has bid me to talk to you, as the instrument He can use to talk to you for this time. Not because am having you as those that claimed to have believed in Me.”
  25. One thing is to believe, another thing is to claim to believe. Many are claiming to have believed the message of the Son of Man, but some are ardent, inseparable believers of the Son of Man. And to these people are the Words of salvation sent to. Not to those who are claiming.
  26. But to those that are covenanted with the covenant, meeting God by day or by night. In life or in death, they are His.” Son of Man, from the message.. IF YOU WILL HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE GOD.. EXPLAINED..page 144:33-38.
  27. This is a validation of those that are covenanted with the covenant; they, are those the Word of Salvation are sent to and they are always with God in an immense ethereal environment.
  28. Let us continue from the same message, in page 138:8 where Almighty God informed us about the Last Trumpet that will encircle the Earth and conclude the everlasting covenant by separating the chaff from the wheat, that is, those who would be saved and those who are heading towards the region of the Lost.
  29. Let us hear Him from the Divine throne “This is the promised Last Trumpet that will be blast from the Archangel. This is the Everlasting covenant that will encircle the whole Earth; so that on that day, when salvation shall be made complete, nobody will say, “I never heard about it.” Is that clear? I hope so.
  30. “This is because only those who came from God will go back to God. Only those who are born with the Spirit of Christ will accept the Word of God verbatim– hook, line and sinker. They will never give the Word of God undue interpretation. Never! Never!! Never!! Son of Man, from the message. .HELP FROM ABOVE,vol.2 of 3, page 117:36.
  31. Continuing in the same message, let us look at page 56, paragraphs 39 to 41. It contains truth that we must lock inside our memory. “I told you that your character does the placement. Your nature is your character. True or false? Anybody that does not have Christ’s nature can never be in paradise with Christ. To live with Christ eternally with evil character? No, No, No, No! Do not ever think of that, for evil is not associated with God.
  32. No man who is evil in his heart will ever smell the Gate of Paradise. Note these people who are false members, although they are among us, they know where they belong to. In the fellowship, they form groups. They form associations”. Son of Man.
  33. Can we categorically say that this “region of the Lost” is a structure that is built to pack the unbelievers of the Word of God into? This is a group of people who have the same spirit, the same behavioral pattern. They either decided on their own to rebel against the Word of God or they are negatively influenced by the seductive spirits.
  34. Voltaire gave a good graphic illustration of this by this statement “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
  35. In the words of an unknown writer, he made us to understand one basic fact that is crafted inform of a question, but needs an immediate answer. Hear him, “But where are those who are lost going to be located or packed? And what is responsible for that situation?
  36. Many of them are located in the churches- (and Bible studies schools) across the world. I know that this may be hard to believe by most church goers-not everyone who attends church has experienced conversion. They may know the Bible, say their prayers and strive to be moral, but they have never experienced the effect of God in their lives.”
  37. These groups are very prominent in the churches of today. Some of them look pious in outlook, exhibiting self and church righteousness. They believe, without doubt, that they have been included in the number of those to be saved but is it true.
  38. In actual fact they are destitute of the saving Truth the Son of Man came with. Many of them have heard this Truth, echoed it and preached it but they don’t believe it that the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena is the God of this age; God in human form.
  39. Rejecting this truth will land the unbelievers in the land of the lost. For us to be saved, the injunction is “believe in Him whom God has sent in your day.” And also obey His instructions, honour, worship and have absolute faith in Him.
  40. Hear this by B.V.Shah,” Faith is the most valuable and priceless asset in the entire creation of God.”
  41. “For God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
  42. There is no eternal doom awaiting those who trust Him to save them. But those who don’t trust Him have already been tried and condemned for not believing in the only Son of God.
  43. Their sentence is based on this fact: that the Light from Heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the Light, for their deeds were evil. They hated the heavenly Light because they wanted to sin in darkness. They stayed away from that Light for fear their sins would be exposed and they would be punished.
  44. But those doing right come gladly to the Light to let everyone see that they are doing what God wants them to “John 3:16-21. (LB)
  45. And in John verse 3:36 it recorded thus “And to all who trust Him- God’s Son- to save them have eternal life; those who don’t believe and obey Him shall never see heaven, but the wrath of God remains upon them.” (LB)
  46. Is that clear? It look simple but it is real. We have to first of all, be converted spiritually and our lives must reflect it, otherwise we are hypocrites. We know where God said that all hypocrites would be going to? Don’t we remember? Also, there is a price to pay.
  47. Listen “A Faith that cannot survive collision with the Truth is not worth many regrets.” By Arthur. C. Clarke. We must defend the Truth we have heard with all our heart; because this life is governed by multitude of forces, and if we are not grounded in this Truth from our Master, a minor force can sweep us away.
  48. But, “even in its hatred, the world follows the attraction of positive good” Jerome D, Souza. Yes the characters we manifest, even if they reject our messages, will live a positive impression on their minds.
  49. Conversion is everything we need. Sometimes that’s all you need to pull you out from the half-truth of darkness. Someone who’s willing to listen may have the opportunity of hearing and believing the message.
  50. Deep people with deep hearts and deep thoughts can sometimes help to save the drowning person from eternal death. They reflect true brotherhood and can help in saving you or me from our dead selves. .Iron sharpneth iron.
  51. “Dear brothers, if anyone has slipped away from God and no longer trusts the Lord, and someone helps him understand the Truth again, that person who brings him back to God will have saved a wandering soul from death, bringing about the forgiveness of his many sins.” James 5:19-20.
  52. “Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay…small acts of kindness and love.” That’s a great tremendous teaching we receive from God; love and be kind to all.
  53. Yes, a small act of kindness and love can push back darkness that is shielding the human nature. Refuse to obeythe Message of Christ you become a toy in the hand of heathens (Devil)
  54. “And what is it that God has said? That He has given us eternal life, and that this life is in His Son. So whoever has God’s Son has life; whoever does not have his son, does not have life.” I John 5:11-12. The Bible says “For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction.
  55. “We should be conscious of the Messages we have received from Almighty God and try to practice them. What you give out, is what you will receive. The elders used to say that”it is the hand that prevents a farm from being over grown by grasses.” The instrument we have is what we will use to weed the grasses. And also, we should bear God in mind in what ever we do.
  56. “Having the reality of God’s presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually.”Oswald Chambers
  57. A promise of Allah to the pious “Allah, He may be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning). And whosoever fears Allah and keep His duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty) And He will provide him from sources he never could imagine!” That is pure Truth.
  58. “And now children, take heed of the spirit of deceit and envy. For envy rules over the whole mind of a man, and suffers him neither to eat, nor to drink, nor to do any good thing: it ever suggests to him to destroy him that he envies, and he that is envied ever flourishes; but he that envies fades away.
  59. Two years of days I afflicted my soul with fasting in the fear of the Lord, and I learned that deliverance from envy comes by the fear of God.
  60. If a man flees to the Lord, the evil spirit runs away from him, and his mind becomes easy. And henceforward he sympathizes with him whom he envied, and condemns not those who love him, and so ceases from his envy.” THE TESTAMENTS OF THE TWELVE PATRIACHS, page 15;8-9. When you love somebody, there is every likelihood you won’t envy him or her.
  61. “So now we can tell who is a child of God and who belongs to Satan. Whoever that is living a life of sin and doesn’t love his brother shows that he is not in God’s family; for the message to us from the beginning has been that we should love one another.” I John 3:10. (LB)
  62. The Bible describes the estate of the unsaved persons or those in the region of the lost as a ” Child of disobedience”, as one that is “condemned,” under the wrath of God, or the persons that are ” dead in trespassess and sins”, greatly “lost,” and “perishing”, definitely “blind”, and “under the control of Satan, and the powers of darkness,” plus also “disobedient to God and loves spiritual darkness and its activities,”
  63. “You are like an unfaithful wife who loves her husband’s enemies. Don’t you realize that making friends with God’s enemies- the evil pleasures of this world- makes you an enemy of God? I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy the evil pleasures of the unsaved world, you cannot also be a friend of God. Or what do you think the scripture means when it says that Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, watches over us with tender jealousy.
  64. But He gives us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings. As the scripture says, God gives strength to the humble, but sets Himself against the proud and haughty. So give yourselves humbly to God.
  65. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. And when you draw close to God, God will draw close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and let your hearts be filled with God alone to make them pure and true to Him. Let there be tears for the wrong things you have done.
  66. Let there be sorrow and sincere grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. Then when you realize your worthlessness before the Lord, He will lift you up, encourage and help you.” James 4:4-10 (LB)
  67. God said that He will not destroy us but we will destroy ourselves with our own hands. Those who have an unbelieving hearts will be held responsible for their fate because as Fred Arroyo said “their struggles take place in a region of the lost where love and memories are barnished and not found.”
  68. It is clear for us to note that “life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning how to dance in the river.” Vivian Greene.”
  69. This can be achieved by believing, obeying, relying, depending and trusting on the One, God sent in your age to bring you and me out from the region of the lost to the region of the living.
  70. What? “So get rid of all that is wrong in your life, both inside and outside, and humbly be glad for the wonderful message we have received, for it is able to save our souls as it takes hold of our hearts.” James 1:21 (LB)
  71. As Luke 19:10 says “for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which is lost” And He the Lord, the God emorphy will act the way He says “I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and cause them to lie down in peace, the Lord God says.
  72. I will seek my lost ones, those who strayed away, and bring them safely home again. I will put splints and bandages upon their broken limbs and heal the sick. And I will destroy the powerful, fat shepherds; I will feed them, yes- feed them punishment.”Ezekiel 34:15-16. (LB)
  73. We should note what God is reminding us here. That we should not ignore any statement from our Lord God Almighty; all are prophetic. “Ignoring things as trivial may only be the beginning of a major grudge.” R, A, Williams.
  74. “I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind them up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong, I will destroy. I will feed them with judgment.”
  75. “All moral and religious people who do not have a personal trust in Christ as their saviour are not saved. They are spiritually lost and not counted among the saved.” Isaiah 53:6.
  76. “We are the ones who strayed away like sheep! We, who left God’s path to follow our own. Yet God laid on Him the guilt and sins of everyone of us!” What do we do?
  77. “As far as God is concerned there is a sweet, wholesome fragrance in our lives. It is the fragrance of Christ within us, an aroma to both the saved and the unsaved all around us. To those who are not being saved, we seem a fearful smell of death and soon, while to those who know Christ we are a life giving perfume. But who is adequate for such a task as this?” 2 Corinthians 2:15-16 (LB)
  78. “O thou who art enamoured with the beauties of Truth, and hast fixed thine heart on the simplicity of her charms, hold fast thy Fidelity unto her, and forsake her not; the constancy of thy virtue shall crown thee with honour.” SINCERITY- UNTO THEE I GRANT, para 1.
  79. Some religious fanatics have tried to argue the non- existence of GODHEAD but they never knew that it manifested in our fellowship and was captured by a pinhole camera.
  80. There is nothing like an artistic impression as some may insinuate; it is real. I am an experienced artist and so, I stand on that authority to say that it is as real as reality can be.
  81. Hear Abd-ru-shin on this matter also. “Is it not blindness to oppose this so obstinately while everyone, including these stubborn repudiators themselves, confirm and acknowledge the existence of this power? What is it that prevents them from calling this acknowledged power God? Is it childlike obstinacy? Or is it a certain shame at being obliged to confess that they have been obstinately trying all the time to deny something, the evidence of which has always been clear to them?”Abd-ru-shin, page39-40 last para, IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH,
  82. “Yet I am not surprised! Satan can change himself into an angel of light, so is no wonder his servants can do it too, and seem like godly ministers. In the end they will get every bit of punishment their wicked deeds deserve.” 2 Corinthians11:14-15 (LB)
  83. “Adjust your thinking, therefore, towards activity and progress. To do this you must shake many pillars supporting traditional ideas. Often it is some concept wrongly understood that hinders man from finding the right way. He must return to the starting point.
  84. One flash of light will destroy the whole structure so painfully erected over decades, and following a shorter or longer period of stunned inertia, he will make a fresh start! He must do so, for there is no standing still in the universe. Let us take, for instance, the concept of time.”
  85. “What is being preached today under the fine guide of progress is nothing but a veiled encouragement of utter shamelessness, the poisoning of every higher intuitive perception in man. It is the greatest pestilence that ever befall humanity. And strange; it seems as if so many had only been waiting for a plausible excuse to debase themselves. To countless people it is very welcome!”
  86. “May be you don’t know that in the end- time, there is going to be an over- spreading of evil. You do not know that the Bride laid Credence to what is happening today. That the evil that started in the Garden of Eden which culminated into the death of Abel, the blood of all the prophets and Apostles of old shall be required of the people of this generation.
  87. Which means God was right when He spoke revealing grace, that He did not judge the people that died in time past, but He kept them in the grave, waiting for the day the Son of Man will come who will be the judge of the living and of the dead, in whom they shall remain justified.
  88. I AM THE JUSTIFIER. I AM THE JUDGE OF THE WHOLE EARTH, it is irrevocable fact. Believe it if you can. Leave it if you cannot believe it”. Son of Man. .HOW ARMED ARE YOU FOR THE TROUBLOUS TIMES/ RECOGNIZE THE WEAKNESS OF YOUR WIFE: preached on Sun.17th July, 2016; page 42:14-17.
  89. All these evil minded individuals masquerading as Pastors, preachers, General Overseers are all peddling half baked truth which is a complete lies. “Don’t you see? The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets, but the fact of the matter is that the Lord has decreed disaster upon them.” 1King 22:23

Do you hear the Voice of the Shepherd? Do you understand the Voice of your Shepherd? I am the Christ of this Age, the Anointed One, the Messiah, the Redeemer. In Me, all that must be saved in our age must pin their hope. Thus, if you cannot hear My Voice and understand Me, it goes to show that you are not of Me. If I speak and you do not understand or you do not believe; And the scripture speaks, you do not believe and you do not understand; nature speaks and you do not understand, do not bother yourself. You are in the Region of the Lost. You are an Escort.

AWFUL DESTINATION ONE CAN NAVIGATE TO

When God Almighty said this, that there are people who will find themselves, “In The Region Of The Lost”, He knows quite well that there are people who are slated to be there as their everlasting portion. It might not be out of their own volition or they caused it.

  1. Those who cause it are there just because of their disobedience to the Truth but the other group are there either it is ordained to be so. God knows best.
  2. “Yes, Adam’s sin brought punishment to all, but Christ’s righteousness makes men right with God, so that they can live. Adam caused many to be sinners because he disobeyed God, and Christ caused many to be made acceptable to God because He obeyed.”Romans 5:18-19(LB)See the reward of obedience.
  3. “In those days, and even afterwards, when the evil beings from the spirit world were sexually involved with human women, their children became gaints, of whom so many legends are told. When the Lord God saw the extent of human wickedness, and that the trend and direction of men’s lives were only towards evil, he was sorry he had made them. It broke His heart.
  4. And He said, “I will blot out from the face of the Earth all mankind that I created. Yes, and the animals too, and the reptiles and the birds. For I am sorry I made them. But Noah was a pleasure to the land.” Genesis 6:7-8.
  5. It was recorded that Noah’s righteousness was the only one among the living beings on earth noticed by God at that time. His lifestyle was in accordance to God’s will and he had three sons- Shem, Ham and Japheth.
  6. “He was in habitual fellowship with God. He prefers to do everything, conduct his own affairs not minding the criticism, cruel mockery, cruel misunderstanding, misconception, misinterpretation; he went ahead conducting his affairs according to the will of God. Even when no man noticed it, God recorded it.” Son of Man. AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH, page 46:11.
  7. Who was having a habitual fellowship with God? Noah. It was only death that can separate him from the love of God. He worshipped God with everything within him and God loved him because of his mindset towards the things of God.
  8. “It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.” Rene Descartes. He used his mind effectively and God was always mindful of that and that’s why the scripture says “Give unto the Lord the Glory due unto His Name; worship the Lord in the beauty of His Holiness.” Psalms 29:2 (LB)
  9. Upon all the crime wave and evil prevailing on Earth at that time, he never indulged in any, rather, he was more concerned about how to please God and God always strengthened him. Why you feel powerless is because you stopped listening to God, that’s where power comes from.
  10. If we go down to Genesis chapter 6, verses 11-13 Almighty God was aware of the increasing crime wave on earth, the world was rotten to the core and He decided to put an end to human existence. Looking down to our present generation is there any difference from the level of crime and evil that is prevalent now and what happened during the Noah’s age?
  11. Today, crime wave is moving on galloping progression, all evils of different kinds are manifesting their ugly heads. The scripture made it clear that “as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the days of Son of Man”. It is so terrible that instead of coming down, it is rising on daily basis; no solution from the Government nor churches. As more churches are springing up in every corner space in the country, crime tripled on the increase.
  12. Note this “knowledge about the development of religions, with all the errors and faults, does not bring men nearer to their God, and just as little does the intellectual interpretation of the Bible or other valuable writings of the different religions.”Abd-ru-shin, IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH, page 86.
  13. Unhealthy competition everywhere, and truth becomes elusive. We are in a jungle where decency is non existent, love lost and blindness has overtaken human mind. Yes, I have to agree with Peter Kropotkin that “competition is the law of the jungle, but cooperation is the law of civilization.”
  14. The world has been madly disorganized by profaning the earth which God created in His Holiness; sprawling out evil activities in unattractive ways across the globe methodically. With this situation, can this world be saved from destruction? Who knows when, and how it will happen but what is sure and certain is that it must surely happen.
  15. “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the Ark.”
  16. Remember this fact that God gave Noah an instruction to build an Ark solely for his family’s salvation as He could not find any other person or persons to save but during the Lot era, God added others to be saved in the instruction given, that is, those that will believe the message or instructions given to them.
  17. This generation is, as it is scripturally defined “IN THE REGION OF THE LOST “. This is a fact. “As Jonah was the last sign to Nneveh, so shall the Son of Man be a sign to this generation.”
  18. “Baha’i religion said,” I show you a sign with which to know when the world is ripe for harvest of the jewels. Women will become as beautiful as they were in the beginning in Sodom and Gomorrah and in the days of Noah, for the devil will manufacture everything of beauty- decorative equipment for women to seduce men away. And the men will be too blind to recognize it, for they will approve of it so that God will condemn both the doer and he that supports the doer. God will conclude them in unbelief.”
  19. What is actually happening today. Women use every method to highlight their beauty the more in order to seduce men away from their focus. You cannot differentiate a married woman today from a spinster. All act or behave alike. African proverb would always tell us that “An irresponsible woman will not know what she is doing until her son’s age mates start whistling to her on the street.”
  20. Follow me to this message titled IF YOU WILL HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE ALMIGHTY GOD EXPLAINED, page 84:87, where Son of Man revealed to us that “There was no devil in the garden of Eden until a woman was created and given to Adam.
  21. From the time God and Adam were in the Garden of Eden, there was no devil that was made manifest, no Lucifer, no Satan until one day, the man came back from the farm and the woman began to tell the man that when he left that the devil came. The devil God never created, woman manufactured the devil.
  22. I am saying that God created a man. a woman created the devil. There was no human being that was in the Garden of Eden except Adam and Eve. How cometh the devil when the man was away?
  23. The woman fabricated the devil. Even when Adam came, Adam did not see the devil. Adam did not see Lucifer, he did not see Satan. He did not see devil but he continued hearing rumour: “the devil came, the devil told me.” Where is the devil? To Manoah’s wife, it was not so.”
  24. It is not only women that are involved in this matter at stake. Men are included. The scripture, Mark 7:21-23 made it clear that “For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts of lust, theft, murder, adultery, wanting what belongs to others, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, pride, and all other folly. All these vile things come from within; they are what pollute you and make you unfit for God.” LB
  25. Jeremiah 17:9-10 reveals that the heart of every earthman is full of evil. “The heart is the most deceitful thing there is, and desperately wicked. No one can really know how bad it is! Only the Lord knows! He searches all hearts and examines deepest motives so he can give to each person his right reward, according to his deeds- how he has lived.”
  26. “When the Lord God saw the extent of human wickedness, and that the trend and direction of men’s lives were only towards evil, he was sorry he had made them. It broke his heart. Genesis 6:5-6 LB
  27. “The darkened mind, the callous heart, the paralytic, all these are the root of evils.”L.Spalding
  28. All these evils have expanded beyond measure. Today, kidnapping, rape, arson, fraudulent practices, money rituals, armed robbery, election rigging, drug peddling, cult activities, pen robbery and other kinds of evil are now in place.
  29. The Lord saw all these things happening and He decided to come down in person to salvage His own from the rot that have overshadowed the entire human race. He is on a mission and by that, He will reveal their faults to them so they can change and become godly again.
  30. “When God wishes a man well, He gives him insight into his fault.” Mohammedan proverb.
  31. THE HUMAN ARK OF COVENANT,APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE VERY SON OF MAN IS ON THE SCENE NOW.
  32. The Lord no more lives inside the Ark made by hand. The Ark Noah built was a physical Ark that was a Vessel for the salvation of his family and other creatures from the flood at that dispensation.
  33. The Ark which represents God’s presence with His people that David brought to the city of Jerusalem, the new capital,(when he became the king) from Baal-Judah and placed it inside the tent he had prepared for it, is the “Ark of covenant that is a gold- plated wooden chest that, in Jewish and Christian tradition houses the two tablets bearing the Ten commandments that were given to Moses ” wwwbritannica,com.
  34. Today the Lord lives inside a human Ark which is Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Very Son of Man. He is the One housing Almighty God, as a masquerade, and carry Him about. A masquerade is like a bag that it’s mouth is tied up. Our people used to say that “every bag whose mouth is tied contains something precious inside”
  35. The Son of Man only knows what He is carrying and how valuable it is; and He is asking us to come and share the supernatural expensive content with Him but we are refusing by our conducts and characters.
  36. It may be because of over familiarity that we behave the way we are behaving. We should note that God loved Solomon but, when due to over familiarity, he refused to obey God’s instructions and married from forbidden nations- Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sodom and from the Hittites who later turned his mind from worshipping God Almighty as David his father did during his lifetime, and more so he started worshipping their foreign gods, then God reacted by appearing to him twice to warn him but he refused to listen. (Proverbs 21:2)“We can justify our every deed but God looks at our motives.”
  37. God, because of His covenant with his father David didn’t punish him when he was alive but He divided his kingdom at his death. We should note that he began his reign in favour with God and man, but he soon let the power of the throne turn his heart away from God. We should be very careful because anybody can fall in this journey.
  38. You should note that you are in an uncomfortable stage of your life where your old self is gone, but your new self isn’t fully converted to the things of God. You are in the midst of transformation. This is a stage one should be very careful, lest he or she might deny this faith. It happened to Peter the Apostle and it can happen to anyone.
  39. It doesn’t really matter who you used to be, what matters is who you’re becoming now. It is better at this stage of this ministry to devote more time to look into your own life than judging the future of others based on their present conditions, because time has the power to change any black coal to a shiny diamond.
  40. Now that the message of Son of Man has deleted our undeletable mindset of evil and unbelief and placed us on higher pedestal; the more humble we should walk and keep following, for this message of God is in Man.
  41. The message of the Son of Man started as a mustard seed and today it has enveloped the whole universe. It wasn’t easy, there must be pain, suffering and headache of experience created by those who cannot differentiate the difference between the wooden chest (Ark) and the spiritual Ark which is a Man.
  42. He is on a Divine Mission and there are things He hates such as socialization and sophistication. Those who bend their mind towards that area are influenced by worldly activities. The Bible said in Romans 1:18-19 that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness of men, not only upon them that perpetrate ungodliness, but to those that take pleasure in them that do it.” Note! “Those who have sowed iniquity have always reaped sorrows.” Krishna Chaitanya. Pious untruths can never be helpful to any soul, rather, their main aim is to help in boasting the moral self- esteem of those who practice same.
  43. These activities lead one to acquire the negative spirits which lead him or her to error .The spirit of error, when in operation, makes man to always commit blunder or mistakes that will make him to regret later in life.
  44. Error or mistakes can lead one to destruction, ultimate death and loss of exalted position, among others. For example a mistake by a driver on the wheels or a captain on the sea can result to multiple deaths. Here, the spirit of commit and hide is evident. Will we call it error or mistake?
  45. There are two major spirits in operation over the whole earth: the spirit of Truth and the spirit of error. The spirit of Truth liberates you from the spirit of error.John 8:32“And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.”

“And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.” LB.

  1. Another indication of the spirit of error in operation in a Man is for him to be a practitioner of dual religions at the same time, that is, the fellow might be in the church and will still be practicing his traditional religion.
  2. Many traditional religionists who were supposedly converted to Christianity or any other still refuse to lay off their hands on their charms or idols with the hope that if their present religion fails, they have another trusted anchor they will rely on. In Igbo parlance it is called ” adiyiamana”
  3. “Yes, you have some of these very same followers of Balaam among you! Change your mind and attitude, or else I will come to you suddenly and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.” Revelation 2:15-16. L B.
  4. Once you find yourself in the region of the lost, you won’t face any spiritual attack or opposition from Satan the ‘adversary’ who is always committed to opposing God and His people in all matters, especially when they are zealous to exalt God’s glory.
  5. With one leg stretched into the world, enjoying it’s values and goals, you are at home with Satan but once you want to shake off the worldly entanglements and become spiritually active, the opposing challenges will manifest because you want to rise from the region of the lost to the region of light which the devil will frown at.
  6. Satan frequently uses ridicule against those who take a positive stand for the Lord. This situation occurs when we are not so sure of our faith in Christ. You can be mocked and embarrassed because of your faith, all these are tests we must pass through to suffer with Christ. Remember that they mocked Joseph in the Bible but later, bowed before him as a king. The road to freedom is never an easy road.
  7. “I think the most beautiful thing in the world is watching the light come on in someone’s eyes after they’ve been in the dark for so long.” By an unknown author
  8. “If you aim to be something you are not, you will always fail. Aim to be you. Aim to look and act and think like you. Aim to be the truest version of you. Embrace that your you-Ness. Endorse it. Love it. Work hard at it. And don’t give a second thought when people mock it or ridicule it. Most gossip is envy in disguise.” Matt Haig- The Midnight Library.
  9. “Sometimes, we get lost due to the habit of asking directions from people around us, rather than asking someone who invited you to walk the path”ShahenshahHafeez Khan. When we continue our inquiring, we won’t know when we have extended our inquiry to the region of the lost where the leader will seduce you away with his oratory if care is not taken.
  10. A sinner or an unbeliever is one who has openly rejected the Word of God and is residing in the region of the lost. They have unbound, outgrown heart that is unwilling to truly mend. “Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness and sin, of greed and hate, envy, murder, fighting, lying, bitterness and gossip.
  11. They were backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud braggarts, always thinking of new ways of sinning and continually being disobedient to their parents. They tried to misunderstand, broke their promises, and were heartless- without pity. They were fully aware of God’s death penalty for these crimes, yet they went right ahead and did them anyway, and encouraged others to do them, too.”Romans 2: 29-31.( LB)
  12. As the scripture says, “No one is good- no one in all the world is innocent.” No one has ever followed God’s path, or even truly wanted to. Everyone has turned away; all have gone wrong. No one anywhere has kept on doing what is right; not one. Their talk is foul and filthy like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are loaded with lies. Everything they say has in it the sting and poison of deadly snakes. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. They are quick to kill, hating anyone who disagrees with them. Wherever they go they leave misery and trouble behind them, and they have never known what it is to feel secure or enjoy God’s blessing. They care nothing about God nor what He thinks of them.” Romans 3:10-18(LB)
  13. But when you follow your own wrong inclinations your lives will produce these evil results, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, spiritism, (that is encouraging the activity of demons), hatred and fighting, jealousy and anger, constant effort to get the best for yourself, complaints and criticisms, the feeling that everyone else is wrong except those in your own little group– there will be wrong doctrine, envy, murder, wild parties, and all that sort of thing.
  14. Let me tell you again as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit that kingdom of God.
  15. In this fast paced society it is hard to find stillness inside. Many suffer from anxiety and restlessness, while our brain is all the time overstimulated by external triggers. Our attention span gets smaller by the day. We are running away from ourselves while being addicted to the thrill of dopamine, trying to escape silence and reality.
  16. Often we are aware of this, but we don’t have the courage or discipline to detach from the temptations that are pulling us down. These negative forces are luring us into a lifestyle of mediocrity and ignorance. Of laziness and self- indulgence. Of anger and despair.
  17. It requires effort, discipline and self confrontation on a daily basis to get out of the hole we dug for ourselves. It is a hard and individual journey, but sincere introspection and meditation can truely nourish us, and make a sustainable change within.
  18. It will help us to understand our roots, and provide us with wisdom and understanding of what we truely are. It is the water we need for our seeds to grow.”
  19. “But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives He will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Those who belong to Christ have nailed their natural evil desires to His cross and crucified them there.
  20. If we are living now by the Holy Spirit’s power, let us follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Then we won’t need to look for honours and popularity, which leads to jealousy and hard feelings.”Galatians 5:19-25 (LB)
  21. Again, in the gospel of Mark 7:21 Christ made us to understand while explaining a parable to his disciples that almost all the evil plans of mankind are cooked up in the mind. For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts of lust, theft, murder, adultery, wanting what belongs to others, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, pride , and all other folly. All these vile things come from within; they are what pollute you and make you unfit for God.(LB)
  22. “God is going to bring all dishonest things, all hidden things of dishonesty into judgment. All craftiness, all subtlety; He must bring all of them into judgment.” Son of Man, from the message- TRIUMPHANT ENTRY INTO PARADISE, page 86:2.
  23. “The truth of the matter is this: willful disobedience to God’s instructions, that is the root of all evils and it started from the Garden of Eden. God gave the instruction to Adam and Eve saying “of the tree of knowledge of Evil and Good, don’t touch it. You can eat of every other tree in this Garden. If you try it, look at what will happen to you.” They said Amen. Nobody protested.” Son of Man, from the message- JUDGE YOURSELF, preached, 23rd July 2014 at the Household of God Onitsha, page 24:7-8.
  24. “Majority of you in this Faith are bound hand and feet by the cultures, customs and traditions of your people which has not worked well even for the people that observed them Hence, do not ask me why you are not doing well, you are the one holding yourself for you are in this Faith paying lip service to the Faith and your heart, your mind and everything is still tied to your family God.” Son of Man, from the message- BE DILIGENT TO PROTECT YOUR MINDSET EXPLAINED, page 65:39-40.
  25. Follow me to the same message page 45, “Do not ask Me or do not begin to tell Me you don’t know what is wrong with you or with your business or this or that. No, do not even try it. You are the one holding yourself, you have not fully obeyed. You have only changed Church, you are only changing Church; you are not changing your mindset. However God wants you to change your mindset. You can never amend your ways until you amend your heart.” Son of Man.
  26. “The good man finds life; the evil man death. The Lord hates the stubborn but delights in those who are good. You can be very sure the evil man will not go unpunished forever. And you can also be very sure God will rescue the children of the godly.” Proverbs, 11:19-21 (LB)
  27. In the message – THE BEGINNING AND ENDING OF GENTILE DISPENSATION, part 3, titled “Predestination”, it says, ” Anyone can claim that God is His Father, but if you deny, disobey and do not believe the work of God in your day, it is the evidence that Satan is your father. Every character under Heaven we know where it comes from.” Preached by Apostle KelechiUwakwe, page 49:25.
  28. “When you let God into your life, Divine love also enters. Experiences and coincidences you would have discounted as travail before now, becomes miraculous”. Ancient Wisdom For Today. (ECKANKAR) page 114: last paragraph.
  29. Christ really loves us and He wants to save the savable; those He is sent to save in this generation. It is our collective duty to always re-examine our stand in this gospel truth and see if we are still on course or have we been spiritually off loaded into that region of the Lost and we are not aware, but still parade ourselves as part of the movement,?
  30. We should be very careful and crosscheck whether we are already discarded materials in the hand of the Lord, by approving to us what He hates. Because I can see a situation whereby many are quoting the Son of Man,“the Son of Man said I should go ahead, I called Him, U texted Him and He approved it.”
  31. Let us pause and think, seeing that many of our youths are all out to do and act as they wish without restraint, without approval or seeking counsel from their parents let alone, the Almighty God in our midst. Most of our youths in this Bridal Faith are a disgrace, disappointment and Shame to their families.
  32. But we all can see it in plain view without any reasonable doubt that the biological Children of the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN) are the pride of the Bride and the Bridegroom. I am one of them if only I meet the required standard from God and not until I am His biological child. Amen” from the message. .THE CHILDREN OF THE SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA ARE THE PRIDE OF THE BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM. Page 41:54-58, by Bro Wisdom James Gambo.
  33. If our children are bad, did they fly down from the sky? It is the family’s creativeness that created that circumstances and it must affect the prestige and honour of that family. You can’t rub it off until you kill the virus. Changing your residence to run away from that stigma will not solve the problem. It will hang on for a while but the evil must trace you to your new abode.
  34. The problem of adolescents in our midst are numerous and one of their major problem is their refusal to hear and obey the Word of God, or take advice from their parents or pastors. Knowing quite well that this is a transitional period in the human life span, linking childhood and adulthood, they should realize that any mistake they make now will definitely affect their future.
  35. “Adolescence is not a time of rebellion, crisis, pathology, and deviance. A far more accurate vision of adolescence is a time of evaluation, of decision making, of commitment, of carving out a place in the world. (Humburg and Humburg 2004).
  36. We can also add that the parents must create time to relate spiritually and intellectually with their sons and daughters because “teenagers engage in all sorts of negative conformity behavior- use seedy language, steal, vandalize, and make fun of parents and teachers.” And so, talking to them creates that checks and balance needed for their physical and spiritual growth.
  37. The numerous messages on child development preached by the God of this age, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man touched on all these detrimental and progressive factors that can hinder or give a child a progressive outlook in life.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.

2 Thessalonians 2:8 King James Version.

THIS WICKED AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION

Awicked and adulterous generation would receive the sign of the revelation. A sign to this generation just before the burning. Elohim in human flesh. What’s it a sign for? Elohim back to the Bride in human flesh again in the last days, doing the same things.” Prophet William Marion Branham. (Signs of it’s coming) 7/4/62.

  1. He is here now in person gathering the loose ends and getting set to bring everything to an end.
  2. “If Allah permits you to see this, run to swear allegiance to Him (follow Him) and never abandon Him. If you are successful, never abandon Him, if you reach Him and find the true path. Ah- and He pointed to His chest- how I long to see Him.
  3. Let nobody hold you back from swearing allegiance to Him (from being His follower, from following Him). Those who hold you back are those who have always sought refuge in corruption. If they speak, they speak evil and if they are silent, they are impious and perverse.” (Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim Numani, al- Ghaybah al-Numani, page 252).
  4. Many of us are in this world to write our own scripts either positively or negatively. If you call yourself a Saint of God, when you meet other Saints,, you can then compare your lifestyle with theirs. Does it match? Birds of the same feather, the elders say, flock together. Their characteristics should be visibly the same.
  5. I tend to agree with Kurt Vonnegut who wrote that Saints are people behaving decently in an indecent society.” Every Saint has a past and every sinner has a future. They speak the Truth always and they are mostly hated for that. “No one is more hated than he who speaks the Truth.
  6. “Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the Truth, nothing easier than flattery. Fyodor Dostoevsky.
  7. However much you deny the Truth, the Truth goes on existing.” George Orwell.
  8. A deceiver hates Truth and “one who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceive.”Niccolo Machiavelli.
  9. Their mark of unity is assuming a position not meant for them. You don’t have to assume to be good; just need to stop pretending to be what you are not.
  10. “Ascertain the truth, ascertain our motive, and find out whether we are delivering the truth with impure motive. What do you really want to achieve in your life? Is it what we are striving to be? What is the essence of the Gospel of Christ? It is nothing but to present you spotless in the sight of God.
  11. It is nothing but to make sure that the Spirit of Christ dwells in you richly presenting you as Christ Himself. The original creature created in the image of God, spotless, without wrinkle or blemish in the sight of God.” FIND OUT WHAT WILL HINDER YOU FROM ETERNAL LIFE AND AVOID IT, vol.3, preached by Evan. Ben Okezue, on the 7th of April, 2020. Page 100:22.
  12. There is some extracts I want us to look at from the same message, page 101:24-25. This Faith is the land of Truth. But unfortunately, this truth is not meant for everybody.
  13. Truth is directed to those that have the believing heart to believe the truth. Is it not true? God has given us believing hearts to believe the truth. And each time truth is revealed, according to the Acts of Apostles, all that were ordained to salvation believed.
  14. All that were ordained to condemnation avoided the Truth. Thus, if you are ordained to salvation, you are ordained to believe the Truth, for there unto you are born. Jesus was asked a question, “Are you a King?” He said, “Sure, it has come out of your mouth. For thereunto I was born to be a King.” Evang. Ben Okezue.
  15. Those who are not ordained to believe this Hard Truth cannot believe it. Many of the unbelievers claim they know better and that’s why Epictetus said “it is impossible for someone to learn what they think they already know” So you cannot liberate a slave who has found comfort in his captivity.
  16. But I believe that “to acquire knowledge, one must study; but to aquire wisdom, one must observe.” Author unknown.
  17. No matter how you are treated because you speak the Truth, keep on speaking it. The highest they can do is to ridicule you, insult you but bear in mind that never in any generation has Truth been accepted. Let us be courageous.
  18. “If the sea couldn’t stop Moses; if a wall couldn’t stop Joshua; If death couldn’t stop Jesus; then in Christ nothing can stop you. Unknown
  19. “Truth is worth dying for”. Who has ever attempted this apart from Jesus Christ, St. Paul? Who has ever introduced Himself courageously using Scriptures, using prophesies? Boldly and courageously and before your very eyes, you see the Almighty confirming it, bearing the greatest witness.Who has ever?” Son of Man- REHEARSAL vol.2, preached 31st Dec. 2017, page 84:13
  20. If you do not come into this most holy Faith, there is no way you will be acquainted with this Truth. This is amazing Truth.” Make yourself real to us, your disciples and not to the world.” Did God say that He will make Himself real to the world,? But the world said that they will know whenever He will come.
  21. They are waiting for a man who never promised to reveal Himself to them. They are waiting for a man who never promised to appear to them” Son of Man. THE REVELATION OF THE NAME OF GOD IN ALL THE AGES, . The Background. .page 39:66.
  22. “The spirit God has given to us is not the spirit of fear but of courage. Once there is God, there is life, there is hope. Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. No matter how the devil will buffet me about, it is temporary.” Son of Man- SEEING WE HAVE THIS GREAT PROMISE, WE FAINT NOT, Preached 2nd Nov. 2016, page 94:24.
  23. You are a privilege people but unfortunately, you do not know He that is moving in your midst. You do not know the Divine personality you are hearing His voice. You are here with one whose voice shakes the Heavens and the Earth.” Son of Man, RECEIVE NOT THE GRACE OF GOD IN VAIN, vol.1, chapter 2, page 43:39.
  24. “Although we are surrounded by enemies, we still have the courage to carry the Message along. There are people that could misunderstand us and misrepresent us, call us all manner of evil names, yet we forged ahead”. Son of Man, from the message- AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS, vol.2. preached 24th Dec. 2000, page 118:28.
  25. It is only in this Faith that God will prepare you all round to meet challenges without being discouraged; to face any situation courageously. There is nothing you will see and it becomes strange to you. Nothing will happen upon the Earth that will move you from your conviction.” Son of Man, from the Message- ENVY AND JEALOUSY, EVIDENCE OF ACCEPTANCE OF FAILURE, preached 25th May, 2008, page 38:26.
  26. It is the great love that God has for us that is keeping us going. His care and protection is marvelous. We cannot reciprocate His love by our attitudes towards Him. Very piteous.
  27. “What do you think will hinder Him from grieving if He sees that you do not understand and follow Him? He came to save you. He came for your own good and He has done great good to you than He has done to people out there. Will He kill Himself for you people?
  28. Do you think I have pleasure in the death of a sinner? You remain in your wicked ways, testimonies of evil following you until you die with evil, when I know that you cannot change the course of justice.
  29. As long as you were warned when you were alive, you hardened your heart and died in that evil, you are heading to hell. And if you did not directyour children very well and they follow you, thinking you are right, when they die, they are going to hell.
  30. If you cannot put your family in order when you are alive, will it be when you die? Do you know who will take charge of your family in your absence and all you laboured for like IgweAmobi.” Son of Man, from the Message WALKING BLAMELESS BEFORE GOD,vol 1, pages 113/114, 46:49.
  31. All the families in the Bride are being warned about their children and the way they are brought up. Evidences abound that many of these children are walking the opposite direction and the things of God is not bothering them again. Their interest lie more in their worldly affairs. What God is talking about the end and eternal life is not their concern. They don’t believe that anything is about to happen based on their present characters. No fear of God again.
  32. It will take the mysterious power of God to turn their faces back to God. We will continuously pray for them as the only remaining option, because most of us parents have worked hard to redirect them to God but to no avail. We actually missed it when we were supposed to act, now they are stiff as hard metal, not easy to bend again.
  33. We parents have part of the blame. We cannot deny it because denial is the first sign of guilt. When we find no solution to this problem, we should look unto God because we can’t control their actions now;
  34. loyalty comes from the heart of one that wants to change. The problem is that they can’t learn to accept the Truth, no matter how hard it hurts.
  35. “Find out whether you are where you are meant to be, because if you are not meant to serve God, from creation, you are not ordained to serve God and you will be forcing yourself into God, you will be doing your conscience more harm than good. And there is no way you can adjust favourably; whatever you will be doing is ordinary human manipulation so that people will not be talking about you always. You will be manipulating; you will be fabricating. Everything about you will be Evang. Ben. Okezue, from the message, FIND OUT WHAT WILL HINDER YOU FROM ETERNAL LIFE AND AVOID IT, vol.3, page 103:28-.
  36. Even if we assume that we are on the right track, your conscience, my conscience will always show us our mark sheets and our scores are clearly written there. The only solution of passing our accumulated references is for us to go back to our reading desk, study hard and put them into practice peradventures at the end God might change His mind and His mercy will project. This is Truth.
  37. There is no more time left. Remember the experiences of the rebellious sons of Seth and the children of Cain plus, also Lots wife, and others who were in the same bracket. Terrible experiences that no one can wish his enemy.
  38. References can also be found in THE BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE: chapter 66; Divisions 1923-1927; 3rd Book of Adam and Eve 8-9. “Yet when the Sons of Seth, that were fallen into wickedness and adultery with the children of Cain saw this, they then knew that God was angry with them; and that Noah told the Truth.
  39. Then they all ran round the Ark, to Noah begging and entreating him to open for them the door of the Ark; inasmuch as they could not climb the Holy Mountain, by reason of the stones thereof, that were like fire.
  40. Yet as to the Ark, it was closed and sealed by the power of God.An angel of God sat upon the Ark, and was like a captain to Noah,to his sons, and to all inside the Ark. And the waters of the flood increased on the children of Cain and overwhelmed them and they began to sink, and the Words of Noah were fulfilled which he preached to them saying, the waters of flood should come and drown them.” Son of Man, from the Message– SPIRITUAL REAWAKENING, vol. 1, page 174,175:7073.
  41. There was a very big significance as regards the destruction of the world by God. God did it because of man’s evil and disobedience to His Word and instructions. “God rewarded Noah for his righteousness and obedience, saving both him and his family from destruction.
  42. The story of the flood also demonstrates both the gravity of God’s justice and the promise of His salvation. Every sin we commit grieves God and His Justice demands judgment for that sin.”
  43. “Also in the Genesis account, God revealed to Abraham that Sodom and Gomorrah were to be destroyed for their grave sins (Gen.18-20). Abraham pleads for the lives of any righteous people living there, especially the lives of his nephew, Lot and his family. Abraham, after all the persuasions to see if he can get God to forget about that plan, failed to convince God of finding any righteous person in the both cities.
  44. The angels (men) were sent to Lot in Sodom but was accosted by wicked mob who asked to lie with them. Lot offered the mob his daughters instead, but it infuriated them the more but were struck blind by the angelic visitors.
  45. Lot and his family were found to be the only righteous people around, so the angels asked them to vacate the cilt immediately and with the instruction, not to look back. As they ran away from the destruction, Lot’s wife disobeyed the instruction by looking back and she turned into a pillar of salt”.
  46. The account in the Qur’an (11:74-83) and (29:28-35) is similar, though the names of the cities are not mentioned.
  47. In the Bible, Mathew 24:37 it is written that “as in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. The world would be at ease- banquet and parties and weddings- just as it was in Noah time before the sudden coming of the flood; people wouldn’t believe what was going to happen until the flood actually arrived and took them all away. So shall my coming be.
  48. And also in the days of Lot, Now we can see that this present generation is far more corrupt and sinful than those two legendary cities of ancient Palatine called, Sodom and Gomorrah. Those notorious cities were destroyed by “brimstone and fire” because of their wickedness.
  49. The people of those two cities were told in Genesis 18, verse 22 that “you shall not lie with a male as with a woman: it is an abomination. If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death, their blood is upon them” chapter 20:13.
  50. Now that the coming of the Son of Man will be the period of destruction of humanity, then what are we expecting? Now that He is on the scene, are we not scared that the prophecy has come to fulfillment. If God does not destroy this generation, will He, God apologize to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah for destroying them because this generation is worse than what we read about them.
  51. This is a generation that is in the region of the dead. All the activities that warranted the destruction of those two cities are all prominent here now. The entire universe is full of vomit. Is it homosexuality, criminality, Bisexual, transgender, Gay, Lesbianism etc?
  52. “United States president Joe Biden, recently launched a campaign towards shielding lesbians, gay, bisexual, intersex and queer people with directives to embassies to ensure that violence and discrimination against any group are resisted and with sanctions to non- compliant nations.
  53. Biden further directed all agencies to come up with protective plans within 180 days. This controversy which began from his former boss, Barack Obama but suffered severe setback under Donald Trump incidentally resurfaces despite criticism from many quarters particularly religious bodies.”
  54. It is noted that 7.1 percent of adults surveyed in the United States of America stated they identify as Lesbians, gay, bisexual or transgender. It has spread to many advanced countries in the world, especially in the west but the global divide on homosexuality still persist minimally. See the situation of things now.
  55. “But the Lord says,” Be patient; the time is coming soon when I will stand up and accuse these evil nations. For it is my decision to gather together the kingdoms of the earth and pour out my fiercest anger and wrath upon them. All the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. “At that time, I will change the speech of my returning people to pure Hebrew so that all can worship the Lord together.”(Zephaniah 3:8-9.)
  56. “Does not God have a perfect right to show His fury and power against those who are fit only for destruction, those He has been patient with for all this time?
  57. And He has a right to take others such as ourselves, who have been made for pouring the riches of His glory into, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, and to be kind to us so that everyone can see how very great His glory is. Remember what the prophecy of Hosea says?
  58. There God says that He will find other children for Himself (who are not from His Jewish family) and will love them, though no one has ever loved them before. And the heathens of whom it once was said, “You are not my people,” shall be called Sons of the living God.”
  59. “Isaiah the prophet cried out concerning the Jews that though there would be millions of them, only a small number would ever be saved. For the Lord will execute His sentence upon the Earth, quickly ending His dealings, justly, cutting them short.
  60. And Isaiah says in another place that, except for God’s mercy all the Jews would be destroyed- all of them- just as everyone in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah perished.” Romans 9:22-29 (LB)
  61. These vessels of wrath prepared for destruction which God has been enduring patiently for too long, who are they. Are they human beings or are they woods? If God will demonstrate His power on them, what would be their stand? We all should answer this question.
  62. “If God never spared angels that fell from their first estate, they fell from Truth, they fell from righteousness and Holiness, will He spare us today? No sir. If any root of bitterness springs up in your heart, you are defiled and out of grace.
  63. Note it, Bible scholars. Jude verse 6 through 7 ” but the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chain under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” TIME TO POSSESS OUR POSSESSION, by Son of Man, page 61:38-39.
