BELIEVING THE WORD OF THE MESSIAH OF YOUR DAY
In all dispensations, every man sent by God is God for he is the visible representation of the almighty. God has been in the
business of talking to the people he was sent to, having one aim – to put them in right standing with God their maker.
God will always come with a message different from what is on ground – that is, a message
different from previous dispensations. Consequently, the message God has for one generation or dispensation will vary from the message he has for another.
God is progressive and not redundant hence he doesn’t repeat the message he had already passed across in past dispensations for he knows what is adequate for every dispensation.
The righteousness of all the children of God in every dispensation has been measured by their implicit obedience to the words spoken from the mouth of their own messiah– take note! Their own messiah not messiahs of other dispensations; First of all, the Messiah will speak as an oracle of God or God’s mouthpiece; Secondly, the people he was sent to will hear and finally, some will believe and others won’t.
Let us understand it quite well, when God delivers his message everyone hears it. But it is regrettably lugubrious [sad] that not everyone believes his message for God puts something in every of His own that constantly evokes their hearts towards believing his message.
That is why every elect of God does not find it difficult to believe God’s word for most times God doesn’t give you reasons to believe His word or actions. He most times chooses to hide those blatant reasons away from you to test your loyalty hence obedience. As a child of God you will continue to believe hook, line and sinker because it came from God’s mouthpiece of your day.
That is why the messiah and God in our own day – Apostle Peter Odoemena (the Son of Man) keeps telling us that we were not called to reason his words but simply to believe in his word for in his word is the salvation of God hidden in our own dispensation.
Trying or striving at any point to reason out or understand why he said something or how he acts will inevitably stir up bad blood of unbelief and doubt in anyone who dares to.
When God calls a man, He formats his brain, takes away all those preconceived ideas about life – God flushes out those nonsenses and then the person is entirely new. Then and only then will God install his own operating system which will function just as he programmed it.
You find yourself doing those things you hated before and hating those things you cherished before. This is one indicator that God has come your way. Check all the servants of God from Abraham, Moses to Paul in the New Testament, they had similar experience. God never left a man the way he found him, he programs him to work the way he (God) wants.
When God succeeds in installing his own operating system in you then he will rest. Starting from that time you cannot but believe any command he gives you for he has programmed you the way you will work for his own glory.
Then and only then will you become a zombie, a robot believing and obeying every word that comes out of his mouth. When God says go, you will go. When he says stop, you will stop. You see why every child of God does not struggle to obey God for God has installed in them his own operating system.
Just like in a computer system, when you install MAC Operating System into a machine, it will and can never accept commands from Windows Operating System for the two are made up of different codes of programs.
Nevertheless, when you want to give machine Windows Commands you will first of all format the system’s hard disk to erase all traces of MAC Operating System before installing the Windows Operating System for the two cannot work together in one machine.
Let us consider Take My Yoke, Chapter 3 verses 24 to 29: “Jesus knew all these things and that is why He said and I quote, “He that is of God heareth my Word but you hear me not because you are not from God and the Word of God cannot have a resting place in your heart.
I know my sheep and my sheep know me. I call them by their names and they respond. To the voice of a stranger, they will never pay attention.”
Who is that stranger? The opposing man or woman is the stranger. If you are not in the negative, you are in the positive and vice versa. He that is not with me is against me; he that is not gathering is scattering.
How do I know God? By their fruits, you shall know them. What am I saying?
How you must know a seed of God and a seed of Satan: a seed of God does not struggle to obey God. Magnet attracts iron, but it can never attract plastic. No matter how beautiful a plastic is, magnet cannot attract it. No matter how an iron rusts, magnet must attract it. Am I making sense?
The most handsome, the most beautiful, the most eloquent, the most prominent, the most popular, the most influential might be ordinary plastic, while the roughest might be the original seed. By their fruit, you shall know them.
A true seed of God doesn’t struggle to obey the Word of God, because every Message from God is natural. Everything about God is natural. God is natural; everything about Satan is artificial, because he specializes in counterfeit. He specializes in what? – Counterfeit”
Brethren what am I saying, when God sees his own having an operating system different from what he installed from the word go, he rests at nothing until he deletes completely the nonsense in that person he finally returns the person to status quo ante.
This he specializes in doing to all his elects who go astray from time to time. There is no limit to what God can do to claim his own. He is almighty meaning that his actions are limitless.
Hence, believing God has nothing to do with your person. You cannot say that you have the believing heart or spirit because it has been God in His elect doing the believing all the way. That is why the son of Man keeps saying that it is God in all his children that believes in himself (God), this can be seen in Phil. Chapter 2 verse 13: “For God is at work in you helping you to obey him and then helping you do what he wants”.
We are mere empty containers with which God uses to accomplish His purpose of creation. Our duty however, is to submit ourselves totally to His use.
Submitting ourselves means allowing God to have his way in our lives. We should also strive that as a computer machine we do not develop faults that will make God’s program not to run effectively in us.
We should not allow ourselves to be infected by a virus that God’s antivirus cannot detect easily and flush out. When God could not flush out the rebellious instinct in Lucifer he had no other option than flushing him out of his sight. Rebellion is a virus that gradually saps through the pores of a ‘healthy’ child of God; ravaging it beyond repair.
The fastest way virus spreads in computer system is by interaction with a system that is already infected. Conversely, the fastest way a child of God contacts a dangerous spirit that does not emanate from God is by interaction with the heathen or some make-believers in our midst.
That is why the scripture says that my people have mingled with the heathens and learned their way and thus have become good for nothing. Once this virus is contracted by mingling with those that do not have our faith, God’s words, commands will sound vague to their ears.
Believing God will suddenly assume a difficult ordeal. Why? Because we have yielded ourselves to the spirit of error.
However, it is worthy of note that all that belongs to God; He will and must surely call back to his fold. What God did in time past he is repeating now that we may fear before him. God will surely bring in all that belongs to him.
Let us consider the message: Take My Yoke chapter 4 verses 59 through 67: “All that belong to God—those who wandered away—the moment God came their ways, they called that place their final bus stop.
This is because when you meet God, you will then have rest. If you meet God and you are still struggling to live like God, you are a counterfeit child; you are a bastard. Watch the spirit that from the Reality, it is not from God.
The Reality is this; God gathered His children. From the Scriptures, watch the people He gathered; when eminent personalities—who were invited—refused to come, He sent out the labourers to go out into the streets and high-ways, market places to fetch every kind of person they could see.
That is why they came into the Faith, some of them became agbero; some became prostitutes; some are mad people. Let Me tell you; the Bridal Ministry has reflected every nature here on Earth.
In our honest attempt to “fish,” we fished mad people into the Faith. We have fished criminals, hardened ones, into this Ministry.
Every kind of person has been fished into this Ministry— male and female. Some are still in the Faith; some have left; some have died. But some died as children of God.
Some left because from the beginning, they were not part of this move. All that belong to Me—the Son of Man—must come to Me. All that belong to Me MUST come to Me. Do you get Me? If anybody leaves Me, he is leaving because from the very onset, he is not a part of Me.
From the very onset, he is not a part of this Family. Watch the spirit that is operating in you, and watch where it is leading you, if it is leading you away”
In every dispensation, the sole duty of every child of God has always been to believe in the messiah God has sent for that dispensation who is God of that dispensation.
Let us consider Epistle 14 from verse 1: “Dear elect of God according to his foreknowledge, it is imperative that we must know all that is required of us by God to do his works (to please Him).
Some have their humanly fashioned ideas and doctrines on what they think they will do to please God but the bible has the final say Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”
Verses 9 through 11:“The father never sealed two persons but he only sealed one. It therefore behoves on that one he sealed to now adopt many to himself.
From the beginning the people of God had been pointed to one person who God had chosen for their day, in Abraham’s day, God pointed all His people to Abraham and Sarah his wife Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him”.
Apostle John in his own day was trying to point all God’s elect of that day to the man Jesus telling them that salvation can only be in Jesus’ Name simply because Jesus was the messenger of that dispensation.
Let us see this in 1st John 3 : 23 -24. “And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.”
To this end therefore. It behoves all the ministers in this present dispensation of the Son of Man to point all God’s children to the Son of Man (Apostle Peter Odoemena) as the only person with salvation on his wings.
He is willing by his teachings to give all his children this wholesome salvation in exchange of our belief in Him. If we succeed in printing the name of Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man in the hearts of all his elects in this dispensation, making it impossible for the enemy to mine away their belief in this one man and God, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man, then we will have succeeded in strengthening the faith of the believers and doing our own fair share of work as co-labourers in the same vineyard with Christ.
It is quite senseless to begin to question the leadership of the Son of Man for such action will incur God’s wrath on all those involved in this rebellious act.
All that aligned themselves in this devilish act in time past never partook of God’s blessings and salvation rather they got the agonizing pain of disappointment.
Although God had succeeded in bringing them out of Egypt, along the way when they started to rebel against God-sent man of their age which was Moses, God was infuriated by their acts and bluntly destroyed them.
1st Cor. 10 verses 1 through 11: “Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.”
Gods desire for all his elect has been for all of them to believe in Him and believe that whatsoever he says he will do. Even when He says something and you look at it with human reasoning as impossible, your duty is to believe anyhow for it will take only time for Him to prove that your self-conceived impossibility to be possibility.
This, he will do in an unimaginable way that you will be confounded the more. God is paradox in all his actions. Remember that the believing heart is given to all elect of God even before birth.
Let us look at Epistle 12, chapter 1, verses 11, 20 and 27: “A true seed of God is not caged with the law or policed about so as to obey God. Simply give him the word of God and go away, there is no fear of death. “the path anybody must go was determined even when the person was in his mother’s womb, whether you will be a Christian or not, it had already been predetermined by God before the foundation of the world. “God who created all human beings knows the very material every person is made up of. He searches the hearts and orders people the way that pleases him”
When we believe God we show that we have his seed in us and this has been the mark of identification of all God’s elect.
In conclusion brethren we should not be discouraged when some people from among us deliberately try to be rebellious for they are fulfilling their ministry in this faith. Would you rather rebel instead of them? Would you rather be Lucifer?
Epistle 12, chapter 1 verse 17: “No matter the level of rebellion or wickedness people manifest in this faith, you should not feel disturbed or discouraged because the hand of God is behind all actions of men to bring His word to fulfillment.”

MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS
Let us take our text from Psalms 34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.”
It is worthy of note that God Almighty, the Son of Man knows what is good for all his own 24 hours of the day, 7 days of the week and 365 days of the year.
Year in; year out, God knows what His elect needs and just as Philippians 4:19 gracefully said: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Apostle Paul had the foreknowledge in his own dispensation as a messenger of God sent to the Gentiles. He was trying to make it abundantly clear to all his followers in Philippi that he knows that God will supply all his needs.
Note it, all his needs not some of his needs. Also note that he said NEEDS and not WANTS. Just as economists would rightly say: “Human wants are insatiable”.
But the converse is also true for human needs – yes, they are satiable. Often times when we present our wants before God, He will tend to keep a blind eye to them probably waiting for them to metamorphose into needs.
Yes, human wants may gradually change to human needs over time. But note it, God will not just be inactive to your needs, He will furnish you with what you need at the moment provided you are His own.
While supplying your needs he will keep an eye on your wants waiting for the right time for it to transform into your need – then he will act.
I simply want to encourage us not to give up on God when what we wanted for which course we prayed to God without ceasing does not happen just the way we wanted it to happen.
When God closes a door He definitely has better doors of opportunity he has opened and many others he will open in due course. But we tend to keep our eyes fixed on the closed door thereby unconsciously ignoring the better doors God has opened for us.
Many of us sometimes tend to disbelieve God when our fervent prayers are not answered, instead hardship befalls us. We should always be comforted by the knowledge that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
God allows hardship to befall his own just on a temporary basis and to teach them a lesson. However, the length of the hardship is dependent on how fast the individual learns the lesson that was intended by God.
This can be seen in the case of Job in the Bible. God allowed Job to pass through tribulation to let him know that he cannot always have what he wanted and that God is his sufficiency.
Because the bible recorded that Job was the richest man in his country and that he lacked nothing. Then God tempted his belief in him.
Job 1:1–3: “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.”
Can we see, Job was the greatest of all the men of the east. At the initial stage of Job’s tribulation the bible recorded that he sinned not.
Job 1 : 22: “In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.”
But a time came in the buffeted life of Job when he began to justify himself before God thereby making God unjust and making himself righteous and innocent.
He had not learned the lesson intended for him by God. God wanted to teach in that all he does is perfect in his eyes. Job 31:2 – 8: “For what portion of God is there from above? And what inheritance of the Almighty from on high? Is not destruction to the wicked?
And a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.
If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands; Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.”
Job was complaining to his friends, declaring his innocence to them. Elihu was there in their midst, though he was the youngest, he summoned up courage to first condemn the listening ears of Job’s friends for they were there as miserable comforters, he condemned their actions.
Job 32:4–6: “Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not show you mine opinion.”
Then he proceeded to condemn Job actions. Job 33 : 8 – 13, “Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.”
Job 35:1–16, “Elihu spoke moreover, and said, Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s? For thou saidst, what advantage will it be unto thee?
And, what profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.”
God spoke through the mouth of Elihu to put Job in right Condition with God. It was because Job was a seed of God that made him to see reasons with the words of the young man, Elihu.
He turned back and understood that he was in error. Every seed of God recognizes God’s word whenever he hears it regardless of who speaks it, where and when it was spoken. A seed of God always has a repentant heart and spirit once his conscience convicts him of sin.
That is why sometimes before you may come up to the pulpit to rebuke a brother or a sister, he or she would have condemned him or herself and repented even before the matter is brought up to the pulpit.
The antivirus God installed in him or her will scan and erase the virus. Hence whenever the matter is raised up he feels very sorry and ashamed in his chair because his conscience; the incorruptible judge of every man had already convicted him of sin.
This was why God asked Job series of questions for which course he remained silent seeing his trespasses. Job 40:3–5, “Then Job answered the LORD, and said, Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.”
Finally, when Job realized and learned God’s eternal purpose of subjecting him to great hardship, god soft pedaled. Job 42 : 1 – 2 , “Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do everything , and that no thought can be withheld from thee.”
We should try to abstain from miserable comforters whenever we are passing through tribulations and trying times and look unto almighty God who is the author and finisher of our faith.
For God that allowed you to pass through such tribulation had already provided a way of escape for you. You will be further driven away from this way of escape by consenting to the misleading words of these evil and mischievous comforters.
We should always try to align ourselves with people like Elihu who would quickly clear your doubts and put you in right standing with your maker, cutting short your number of days of tribulation.
It is satisfying to know that once the lesson God intends for any person in such situation is not learned the suffering continues. The faster the lesson is learned the earlier, the suffering and hardship comes to an end. God is the wisest being on earth and in heaven.
The case of Job should be a great lesson to every elect of God. If God has not answered that prayer, stand still, don’t lose hope it is because the time for it to be answered is not yet come. God simply kept it in view waiting for when it will be due.
Strive not to listen to what people may be saying about your condition, even when they mock you and destructively criticize you. Simply keep your eyes on the son of man for he never fails and definitely won’t start to fail with you.
We should keep believing and keep praying that God will furnish us with many encounters with him so that we can learn from them and also be sustained by the inevitable experience we will acquire at the end.
You simply have to be sustained by your experience in this faith. Not another brothers’ experience, not another sisters’ experience but by your own personal experience.

HE IS FAITHFUL THAT
HAS PROMISED
It is true that trials and temptations befall all children of God even from creation but they are always victorious at the end, our own case will not be different.
We hear through the mouth of God’s mouth piece in our own day that we should stay put, that God will surely do that which he has promised us whether collectively or individually. The promise of God cannot over delay by one second.
Let us always try to be happy for God knows what is best for his children at every point in time. Phil. Chapter 3 verse 1; “Whatever happens dear friends, be glad in the Lord. I never get tired of telling you this and it is good for you to hear it again and again” LB.
Let us press forward, let us stretch forward for at the end we will be fully in terms with the truth that he is faithful that has called us and his promises to us collectively and individually must surely come to pass no matter what the devil may do to stop it.
1 Timothy Chapter 6 verse 12; “Fight on for God. Hold tightly to the eternal life which God has given you, and which you have confessed with such a ringing confession before many witnesses” LB.
Even apostle Paul in his own dispensation suffered great tribulations but no matter what the tribulations were, he was always encouraging his disciples to be always happy and to continue in the lord without wavering.
Even when he was in chains and in prison he never ceased from encouraging his disciples who believed his message. What an attitude? What a faith he had in who called him. In our own day, that same faith should transcend to all the children of God.
A faith that never withers a belief that is unflinching, an attitude worthy of emulation. 2 Timothy Chapter 1 verse 12; “That is why I am suffering here in jail and I am certainly not ashamed of it, for I know whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to safely guard all that I have given him until the day of his return” LB.
Tribulation and the present recession in the country should not make us to give up on all the good things our God, the Son of Man has in store for all those that are his own for he is not left out in our sufferings of this flesh.
As a human being he passes through what all of us are passing through but also as God he is meek to understand our human imperfections and bring us close to himself at the end.
In our own day, God’s Mouthpiece the Son of Man has passed through so many tribulations, sufferings and trying time and is still passing through these difficulties till now. He is not left out in our suffering.
Yet he has remained undaunted and unruffled by all the persecutions he passed through and is still passing through. What a character we all that are his disciples in this age should emulate.
He has preached this message with much sickness in his body just to help us, to put us in right standing with our make the Almighty God. We should all take solace in the promise that we are not going to be the worst hit even in the face of fiercest recession or pandemic or persecution or tribulation.
A soldier in the battle front does not give up on his mission no matter what. There is this instinctive hope in the heart of every true soldier that he will be victorious at the end which gives him reasons to match forward even in the face of greatest opposition.
Only these true soldiers come back with results and testimonies of the battle. The way in which they survived the battle front is immaterial at the end whether he truly fought or meandered his way out.
The hope in him to make it till the end, the faith that he has in his commandant is all that matters in the end.
My brethren let us be brave for the joy that will accompany in the end of all these struggle and suffering will by far becloud the sufferings of this present day. As children of God, we should instinctively succumb to the teachings of God in our midst without any iota of doubt.
We should do nothing but believe in the messages of almighty God in our midst for they are all for our own good as they are messages that will transform us at the end – clothing us with immortality.
We should not be afraid in front of any opposition or persecution, we should stand gallantly and see all these difficulties as mere vices of the enemy.
Remember we are not ignorant of his devices. Let us consider: 1Timothy 1 verse 12; “And I thank Jesus Christ our Lord who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful putting me into the ministry” KJV.
Also let us go through: 2Timothy 3 verses 11 through 12: “Yes you know how many troubles I have had as a result of my preaching the Good News.
You know about all that was done to me while I was visiting in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, but the Lord delivered me.
Yes and those who decided to please Christ Jesus by living godly lives will suffer at the hands of those who hate him”. LB
You see it? No matter what, God will always deliver His own even in the face of greatest danger. Here, apostle Paul stated it succinctly that if you are a child of God you must be prepared to suffer persecution.
Yes, it is the price every child of God has to pay. It never started with us and will not end with us. We should always keep tabs on the promises of God which never fails.
2Timothy Chapter 4 verse 5; “Stand steady and don’t be afraid of suffering for the lord. Bring others to Christ. Leave nothing undone that you ought to do” LB
Here, Apostle Paul was enjoining Timothy that he should in all endure afflictions. Afflictions come in various forms to God’s children in all dispensations.
You own affliction may not mine. Sickness, poverty, childlessness, lack of peace of mind are all forms of afflictions just to mention only few.
They come in various categories and echelons. In all your afflictions, simply stand still and await the promises of God come through in your life.
In conclusion let us consider the following expository from our messages. Give the Faithful the Answer (Speak Do Not Cry), Chapter1 verse 1; “Whenever doubts and fears assail, trying to override you, remember the Promise that can never fail for in Him, His promises are Yea and Amen. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.”
Verses 41 through 47; “Have faith! Have faith! If you go to the message titled “Faith, you will see the QUALITIES OF FAITH. Read it in between the lines and see what faith is all about.
Faith does not recognise anything called failure. Faith said, “it is possible.” Faith says, “I can never die; I will live and declare the goodness of the LORD.
“FAITH says, “I will remain victorious.” Faith goes beyond the boundaries set by men, set by spirit, set by thrones, set by powers, set by dominions. Faith does not submit to anything contrary to victory.
Faith has foresight. Faith is patient, faith endureth till eternity. Faith from Jehovah solves all problems.
Faith brings the future closest to you. By faith Hannah was blessed with a seed. By faith, Sarah provided clothing for the child that was not yet come.
By faith, David provided materials for the building of the temple, not minding whether he will live to build it or not. That is why anything that is not done by faith is not acceptable in the sight of God. Whatever you like, do.
If it is not by faith in Jehovah, it is useless. I want to give you a gift. Remember this faith is not a big thing. It is not like this fan. No, no, no, no.
It does not require a faith as big as the chair. By faith you are sitting on this chair, believing it will sustain your weight. Is it not by faith?
By faith you left your house and you believe you were coming here and you are here. FAITH TRANSFORMS DREAM INTO REALITY. Faith actualizes everything you are having as your thoughts. Faith actualizes your thoughts.
I am giving you a gift, as many as are standing in His Presence, covered by His glory. I am going to give you the unfailing sign.
Yes, unfailing sign! You are from today going to be a testimony for good unto the Lord. You are going to be a testimony for good unto the Lord. Just underline it this day.
Note it in your heart, forget it not. When you want to make your declaration say, “God I heard it from your mouthpiece and I anchor my faith there.” I have anchored my faith in Christ; I do not want to listen to any other voice.
Nothing will shake me. This faith is immovable and unshakable. Once you accept it and it settles in you, it settles all problems, all conditions.”
Verse 52 through 54; “Believe it if you have the heart, I AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF ALL FLESH, IS THERE ANYTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO DO? WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
You are standing on the promises of God that can never fail. Whenever fears and doubts will try to assail, say NO! By the Living Word of God spoken by the Almighty, we shall prevail.
The Lord is here, in that message, faith, it says, “Our problem is our inability to develop enough faith to believe that Christ is in the Bride.” 1993, March 12TH. Amen.”
Chapter 2 verses 32 through 34; “By the oath which He swore by His Name, and by the promise which is made in His Name. It is impossible for God to draw back.
Hold God there! You have no problem henceforth. All you have to do is to have faith in God. Your husband is not responsible for your problem, your wife is not responsible for your problem, your children are not your headache – not even your work
Your enemy is the devil who is doing nothing but working day and night to upset you using everything he knows he has the power to use.
He can use your children, he can use your work, he can use your motor, he can use barrenness, he can use sickness, he can use everything.
But you consider all those things, they are purely eartily. Not even one is eternal. For whatever that is eternal PRECEedeth from God.”
To this end therefore, my brethren, God has given us the unfailing solution to acquiring his promises. The solution lies in our obedience and unfailing faith in his word, believing that at all times he is worthy to make his promises come to pass in our lives.
I wish to wrap up this little reminder here and enjoin us never to give up even when we face of trials and temptations for what wouldn’t kill us, definitely will make us stronger. Remain blest in him eternally.
SECTION B
4
DO WE HAVE THE NATURE OF GOD?
Let us consider Romans 13: 12 – 13 and draw our text from there: “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.”
I want to begin this short exhortation with an allegory; an elderly king once gathered all his children together one night and said to them, “I have a nature which has been there from my childhood”.
“You see”, he continued, “When I am asleep, I can wake up with hearing the least sound, even in my deepest sleep. I don’t know why it has been there all these while, but I have come to realize I can’t part with it; it’s my nature.
So, this night, I want to know how many of you have this nature; those who could wake on hearing a sound. The source of the sound will be this device in my hand. All of you know what it is; it is an alarm clock.
I will set it at a time I so choose. There is a prize for this game.” He cleared his throat and continued. “The prize will be sumptuous delicacies of all sorts that no one has ever tasted”. All of them shouted, “We want to eat the meal; we will eat those delicacies this night.”
The man cleared his throat again and continued, “There will not be food given to anyone until the appointed hour. One more thing; you all will sleep in this big parlor so that all of you will hear the sound simultaneously.
Bring out your mattresses here and prepare sleeping places for yourselves. “Finally”, he continued, “be sure you don’t wake anybody asleep when the alarm goes off or you will be disqualified”.
Bye; until we meet at the appointed hour”. Some of his children started preparing sleeping places for themselves while some reasoned among themselves thus: ‘Why should we sleep when the alarm will go off at an hour we know not? Let us be awake till morning,’ they soliloquized individually.
‘Let me find something that will keep me busy all through the night or at least those of us awake will be sharing our experiences while we wait for the alarm.’
It didn’t take long for all of them awake to agree on sharing their experiences while they waited, in order to be on the ‘Red Alert’. No sooner had they agreed than they all went into their bookshelf to get their books; the books they could use in sharing their experiences.
But one funny thing happened; in the middle of their discussion, some among them also fell asleep, while some remained vigilant. It was exactly 3:15 in the morning that the alarm went off.
Immediately, those that were awake, rose up and filed at their daddy’s door, knocked and opened it. Behold, their daddy was awake reading a paper on his reading table. He turned to them and smiled.
“So, only few of you woke up when the alarm went off and I presume others are still sleeping in their mattresses. Ah! What a shame!’
One of them rose up and said, “The few of us here have been awake since you told us the alarm would go off at an hour we know not. Hence, we all decided to be awake.” Their father exclaimed, ‘You all reasoned well. In fact, you are my true children.
Indeed you have my nature, for I could have acted same, ’little did they know that their father had laid tables in their big banquet hall with all delicacies none of them had ever tasted.
They then knew their father had not been bluffing when they went inside the banquet hall. The man of the house then said, “Help yourselves with one table each. Eat and make merry.” So, they began to enjoy themselves.
It was 4:30am that morning when those that were sleeping began to wake up one after the other. Then, after a little while, they noticed that some had already gone out. Being worried sick, they all went to their daddy’s room only to find out he was no longer there. “Where could they have gone?” one of them worriedly asked.
It was then that they began to hear some noise filtering out from the banquet hall. It was then they knew the others were there making merry.
They immediately rushed to the hall only to find out that the door was permanently locked from the inside; the windows were equally locked for the hall was equipped with many air conditioners.
Inside the hall as they were making merry, the man started again, “Now, I know those of you who really have my nature; those I can really work with; those I can really call my sons and daughters”.
They all laughed in agreement and echoed collectively, “We are your children daddy and we are happy that we are”. The man now went to one of the locked windows with burglary proof and opened the window.
Immediately they saw him, those outside shouted, “Daddy, please help us now; we are your sons too, please daddy”. Then the man shouted with a loud voice, “It is true that I begot all of you, but well, you do not have my nature and will not partake of this merriment going on inside here.
I am sorry, but I have made my selection. Bye.” He firmly locked the window before they could start their pleas again as he was not ready to accept any.
Mixed feelings of jealousy, acrimony, and hate for themselves and most of all, shame, then had a firm grip on them. They began to shout again, “Please, please, daddy, help us”.
When the noise grew to an unbearable loud note, the man opened the window again and shouted with a loud voice, “You Should Have Been Awake”. Then they realized it was already morning and that darkness was gradually yielding to daylight.
Gradually, they began to move back into their rooms where they continued their crying. They had run in for fear of being laughed or mocked at by their neighbors. Their cry could not mellow down the Man’s heart.
From the above short allegory, we could see that the whole thing started like a drama. It started in a comic manner, but ended on a tragic note to all that didn’t have the nature of their father while those that were in their father, I mean those having their father’s nature, became even happier than they were in the beginning of the whole drama.
We could see that the husbandman of the house planned the whole thing with his family and all of them agreed. Hence, it didn’t take them by surprise.
Tailor it down to what is happening now in this Faith (the Bride). The Son of Man keeps on telling us that rapture is planned for; that is not going to take anyone of us by surprise. It is well planned for.
We can see this in: ‘I am the Standard for Judgment to All Men,’ page 136 verse 1: “Today is a day God wants to put us in remembrance of this great truth.
Rapture is not going to take you by surprise. It is not accidental; it is planned; it is worked out. Did you hear it today?”
Remember, the man called all his children and opened up his mind to all of them. He didn’t tell only those that are his beloved for he had none.
He was entirely fair to all. Now, look at what happened; the few that kept watch all through the night were not told to do so by their father, lest he would be termed partial.
They reasoned among themselves individually and singly came out with a unanimous decision. “A” would look at “B” and say, ‘So, you want to be awake also;’ “C” would look at “D” and say same.
Now, look, they didn’t allow those that were sleeping to entice them with their sleep. They were focused on winning the prize set by their father for they knew not what their father had in stock for all of them that will scale through at last.
Consider it this way also; all of them that went to sleep were so proud and were overconfident. They had so much confidence on themselves that they will make it; that they will wake up once the alarm goes off.
They would say: “After all, we have been setting our alarms in the night just to wake up once it goes off. Nothing will happen, we will wake up”.
Some among this group would also say: “We know daddy, even though we didn’t make it, he will give us our own portion. He is a compassionate father; he is full of mercy”.
Little did they know that Satan was somewhere laughing them to scorn. They thought it was all by their might; their belief was based on self-reliance and self-confidence; self-righteousness.
They so much believed on themselves. They didn’t remember the evil one was hearing their boastful thoughts. They thought they could do it all by themselves.
Now, watch the other few that made it at the end. They didn’t rely on themselves; they only relied on God; hence, God gave them the wisdom to overcome. He God vowed a vow never to let them down; He gave them the strength to persevere till the end.
Brethren, we all need to put all our trust and hope in God (The Son of Man) to save us and no one else, knowing that we are not here all by our own making.
Suffice it to say that the moment God sees any iota of boast or self confidence in us, He will turn his back on us so we can save ourselves. God will not just stop there; He will set a trap for us and we must surely be caught by His trap. God’s trap is insurmountable.
Hence, we should try as much as possible not to attribute our place in God to our being good enough, lest we would behave like the over confident sect in the story.
God saves us when we are convinced that we can never save ourselves. If you are still going with the notion that you can save yourself by being good enough, by obeying the whole laws, by going to church, God will laugh and watch you from a distance because his help then will mean little or nothing to you.
Brethren, let he that thinks he is firm in the Faith of the Son of Man be careful, lest, he falls when he least expects. Consider this: 1stCorinthians 10:12“Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he falls”.
He, Paul was teaching all the elect a lesson on the danger of being over confident. The Son of Man has always told us to hold unto God’s righteousness for our own self-righteousness is like filthy rags in the sight of God.
Isaiah 64: 6: “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away”.
Only the righteousness of the Son of Man will lead us to the Promise land. It is high time we all parted with our self-righteousness for it is an insult to God’s saving power and grace. God’s righteousness is all we need even as we are fast approaching the end.
Really, we should be awake by the power that God supplies and also by his GRACE.
Psalms 36:6 “Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast”.
Psalms 71:19 “Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee”!
Let us remember from the allegory that the husbandman did not give them a clue on what to do, he only left them with the statement: “make sure you wake up once the alarm goes off”.
He never told or suggested to them to keep watch all through the night. It was their own personal decisions, not a collective decision.
They never gathered to reason together whether they should keep themselves busy all through the night until the appointed hour.
Did they? They knew that they were weak and that once they slept off, they might never wake up with the sound of the alarm. They trusted in God who was their Strength, Helper and above all, Righteousness, hence, they stayed awake. What wisdom from the Almighty God!
Watch, these few that rose up with the sound of the alarm thought within themselves that the morning is almost around the corner, hence they reasoned thus, “Let us get the prize first. Then we can sleep until we choose to wake up”.
They had a focus; their eyes were fixed upon something glorious which their father; the husbandman prepared for them. Now, were all of them his children biologically? Yes!
Did all of them have his nature? No! Remember that he told them that it was his nature to wake with the slightest noise or sound when asleep.
You may say that you are a child of God, but the right question we should all address to ourselves is: ‘Do we have the nature of God?’
Let me remind us all that God’s nature is our ticket to paradise; is our ticket to translation of our mortal bodies; is our ticket to the promise land. Do we have God’s nature? Are we with our tickets?
Let us not lose sight of the fact that the Son of Man had earlier pointed out to us the four categories of human nature and said all his children, all the elect should strive towards having the amiable category for that is where God dwells.
If we go about having the other three that he condemned, then we will be sure bet for a disastrous end. Let us see this in: ‘Maintaining a Healthy Relationship in the Bride of Christ’ page 26 verse 22. It said: “Emulate their Good qualities but do not envy them.
Envy will generate bad blood in you and make you not to appreciate good quality. If you cannot associate with this group, do not try to discourage them or frustrate them for that might bring about conflict. God is delighted if this group”.
You see it? God is delighted in those that are in the amiable category. We should also notice that the man did not allow them to sleep in their various rooms. No.
He regulated them by commanding all of them to sleep in the parlor; he made sure all of them obeyed the command. Did we learn a lesson there? In his message, “I am the standard for judgment, Volume 1”, The Son of Man said (precisely in chapter 7) that we are in a regulated faith.
“I am the standard for judgment” page 136 verses 1 through 4. It said: “Today is a day God wants to put us in remembrance of this great truth. Rapture is not going to take you by surprise, it is not accidental, it is planned; it is worked out.
Did you hear it today? Everything has finished remaining one thing. God said that you do not need to bother about it; you go about your business in the fear of God.
If you are building your house, He said, “go ahead”. You want to marry, go ahead; you are in the schools or colleges, in the university; He said, “Go ahead, but do everything in the fear of God”.
All your activities will not hinder you on that day from being translated. What will hinder you is the way you go about them. Go about them in the fear of God, in agreement with our teachings, but do not fold your arms.
WE ARE IN A REGULATED FAITH. Brethren, there is nothing wrong with this Faith but something is wrong with those that are professing to be in this Faith”.
Here, he said that rapture is not going to take us by surprise. It is not accidental; it is planned; it is worked out. Now remember, the husbandman took his time to plan the whole exercise together with his children.
I can see him asking his children after explaining the drills, “Is there any question?” Those who didn’t understand very well asked him some questions and he took his time to make sure they all were satisfied.
That was the planning period. Some of the foolish ones who watched him explain and answer their questions in a joking and relaxed manner would think he was not serious with what he was saying.
They took it as yet another bluff from their father, but their father was not bluffing. The wise ones never took it as a joke because they didn’t know their daddy as a joker. So, they devised a means to overcome the hurdle.
God saw them through because they hinged their hope and trust in God. The foolish ones doubted; they doubted their father – the capacity of their father fulfilling his promise. Suffice it to say that these were the people that complained, grumbled and murmured against the leadership of their father saying he doesn’t know how to treat issues, that he is not a good daddy.
They are the people that refused to carry out instructions given to them by their father, thus they lacked obedience which is the core nature of every true child of God.
They never knew a day was coming when they will pay for all their misbehavior in a manner they least envisaged. Some of them that slept were lured to sleep by their colleagues saying: “Let us go and sleep; we will wake up once the alarm goes off, even if you cannot wake up, we will wake you up”.
You see, they were prepared to obey their father’s instructions. Foolishly, they joined them in sleeping away the precious gift from their father.
That is why the Son of Man keeps on warning us about those who know they are not going to make it, that they are simply here to deceive the gullible minded ones. He warns that we should mark them and avoid them because a drowning fellow will always want to pull some people along.
I Am a Standard for Judgment to All Men, Volume 1, Page 23 verse 1 through 3: “I gave the message that God judges iniquities and He takes account. Once the cup of the Amorite is full, nothing is left than to pour it away.
What is more, God is now warning you concerning such people that have known their positions already that they are sitting down in our midst wasting their time, that they are people going about with couriers without package; their aim is to punish you.
When they drag you into the same bottomless pit, have you not been punished? In your attempt to save a drowning man, make sure you put on a life jacket, well-fitted to your body.”
This is the time we should part with all manner of unbelief, rebellion, complaining, grumbling and murmuring and look unto the Son of Man as our Salvation Link in this Age.
Let us consider this in, “Does your Life Reflect this Faith?” Page 35 verse 15 through 20: “Rebellion is very easy. The day I spoke about REBELLION, Elder Ugoala confirmed it to be true. How many knows that murmuring is rebellion?
Murmuring, complaining, grumbling are a naked manifestation of rebellion and anybody that is guilty of these offences can hardly operate alone. He operates in a company.
He must look for people he will share his unbelief with and if you are careless or blind, you did not notice it spiritually, and you join yourself into it, the Lord will put asterisk or question mark on your name.
That was how He marked all of them in the Wilderness, all those people that murmured and complained against this gospel; evil association twenty years and above.
Who initiated it? One person, gradually it continued to spread until the whole camp was filled. They began to question Moses; they started questioning all his utterances, all his activities, everything, trouble now came.
When the trouble came, who was spared? Only those who had really made their minds up that they will dwell with God eternally; will be free from the last days’ pollution.
Every other heart must be polluted, except the true heart. You can go back to the message preached by Apostle Kelechi many years ago titled: ‘The True Heart.’
God is looking for a true heart and not a false heart that will come to God with his lips when his heart is far away from God. With the heart, he strangles God, but with the mouth, he praises God, rendering services, but with the heart he strangles God.
Let us be very careful; I challenge all of you, take this message back to your families to see whether there is unbelief in your family. Go and search your families. Man know thyself; search yourself; woman, search yourself; husband and wife search your children.”
Does your Life Reflect this Faith? Page 47 verse 9 through 10: “We have come to the point where God Himself will speak to you as he did in the time of old. You must know your position.
Note it, rapture is not by accident. There is no accident there; it is not an accidental departure. No! It is planned. It is worked out; it is prepared. I am the one telling you this truth.”
Remember, the man fixed a particular time in his heart, but he didn’t divulge it to them. That is why the Son of Man says it shall be one day that is known by the Lord.
Let us see, “God’s Nature is your Ticket to Paradise, page 52 verse 8 through 9: “Well, it shall be one day that is known by the Lord, our God. This thing was promised even in the Message titled FAMILY MENU.
God kept it in Himself as an eternal secret which He knows what will be your attitude if these things are revealed. Concerning the day and the time, you have no need.
What is your responsibility? Be ready at all times, holding on to the Word of His patience, holding on to the profession of your Faith without wavering until the end; believing without doubt that it shall be one day.
The Lord has fixed a day in which He will judge the world. No sinner will go unpunished; the righteous must be rewarded with eternal life while the unrighteous will be rewarded with eternal contempt and damnation”
We should all believe doubting nothing, for the day, the hour, is known by God Almighty alone. He doesn’t share it with anybody. Also recall that the husbandman subjected them to a squeeze which was short-lived only for those that woke up at the appointed hour.
He made sure they all went to bed without food; on empty stomach so that they will appreciate what he was about to allow them enjoy.
God’s Nature is your Ticket to Paradise, page 54 verse 15:“I know that this great tribulation has been over painted and over blotted. Many of you might be expecting the day you will be hanging on a tree, some fried in the furnace, some chased out of their houses.
Do not expect it that way again. This one has already taken place during the INQUISITION. What you are suffering now is a SPIRITUAL SQUEEZE.
The suffering you are passing through in the flesh is not peculiar to you alone. It is common among all nations, but you are now in your spiritual squeeze and that is exactly what you should be having now when it is becoming increasingly impossible for somebody to retain his confession of the faith for 24 hours.
If not amazing grace, for you to retain the profession of your faith from morning till morning, undefiled, it takes amazing grace because there is a great squeeze on you.
Sometimes the squeeze will be so much you will be cracking your brain. When you are cracking your brain, you will be formulating lies you will tell to get yourself excused or to save your face from shame. You know the truth, but you are cracking your brain because you are facing spiritual squeeze.”
Brethren, the only thing that will take us there (THE PARADISE) is the complete nature of God; the complete nature of the Son of Man, putting on His righteousness as your cloth every day, by believing and obeying His teachings and doctrine.
Please let us not concern ourselves with how others behave the way they do, for we do not know their mission in this Faith. We should concern ourselves with having the nature of God, the Son of Man for therein lies our salvation; putting on immortal body.
5
NIGHT IS FAR SPENT AND THE DAY IS ALREADY AT HAND
This is the time we should part with all that is not attribute of God for nothing will be found there if not the attribute, the nature of God.
God’s Nature is your Ticket to Paradise, page 80 verse 24 through 25: “Note, nothing is found there except all that have the attribute of God. If you do not have the attribute of Christ, forget about it.
Talk about knowing the Faith, the rudiments of the Faith, you are 100 per cent right, but something is missing and what is that thing? The weightier matter; the most important thing.
What is that thing? ZOE. What is ZOE? Life of God, which is life of Christ. I have told you time without number that the requirements are made known to us by the preaching of the gospel of Christ.
The same way, the thoughts of God towards us are revealed through His Word. The word of God that is preached to you reveals how God is seeing you. His demands are made known to you by the preaching of His word. No more, no less.”
God’s Nature is your Ticket to Paradise, page 82 verse 28 through 30: “In other words, God has come back to the original statement He made in the beginning that the hour has come when you should not begin to ask yourself why brother behaves the way he behaves; why sister behaves the way she behaves.
No! You should be mindful of your relationship with God for salvation goes to individuals. If you begin to watch brother, watch sister, you are lost.
Tell me, do you know whether sister does not want to go? Do you know whether brother does not want to go? What if they are not seeds of God? What if they have no part in Christ? What if they are in this faith as stumbling blocks to you?
Do you know whether they are in this faith as a test or as tools which God will use to test your maturity in Christ, more so when they have become objects of provocations and God allows them to be in our midst so that he will use them to test the extent you can endure provocations and maintain your stand as a child of God? Immortality, eternal life, Paradise has narrowed down.
Everybody is clamouring to be there: ‘I want to be there’, you want to be there; God has given us His word as a standard of attaining or getting there.”
As many as are longing to find themselves there will not be there until we all line up behind the Son of Man, behind His teachings, behind His word, behind His instructions.
He said that very few have attained the rapturable state, but that translation of our mortal body is not going to be in batches. Translation of our mortal body will not take place in batches; it is only once, in a twinkling of an eye.
God’s Nature is your Ticket to Paradise, page 89 verse 53: ’’Note, it says, ‘till we all’; I told you that some have attained this height, but they will not go. They will be here until the elect; those that are elected to be saved in this age by my message have attained it.
When I attain it, my wife attains it, my children attain it, all the brethren attain it and we live together, any problem? Rapture is for those that have attained it.”
All our bad characters must be transformed first before we talk about God transforming this mortal flesh. We should have it at the back of our minds that paradise is not meant for anything that will cause provocation.
Anything that would cause provocation there should be parted with while we are still here so that we become lighter as we go over there. It is all these bad weapons in our armory that make us heavy and thus makes it impossible for us to enter there (Paradise).
God’s Nature is your Ticket to Paradise, page 124 verse 75 through 79: “As a result, what you are calling to be favour is to continue anyhow, living anyhow, and talking anyhow, hating one another, and we will carry all of them into Paradise anyhow, no.
That is not the Paradise I know. I will call that Paradise ‘Cage of Unclean Birds’. Is Paradise meant for such things? No. Paradise is a very neat place, devoid of hatred, devoid of everything nonsense.
When we are talking about all these things, not knowing you all misunderstood Grace, you are doing anyhow, behaving anyhow even if it leads to Apostles.
Until you receive your husband’s instructions, some are fighting, some are quarrelling, some are nagging, even wives do not know their responsibilities towards them and towards their husbands, becoming tyrants, only to take this nonsense to Paradise, tell me, which Paradise?
Who will buy that one? Who presented that type of preaching? Who has ever been there in that condition? Who has ever dreamt a dream and it is revealed to him that that place is meant for unclean people?
Yet somebody will say, ‘Daddy, I think you said God is our righteousness. Why are you saying that I must obey all?’ I say yes, God is our righteousness if we trust and obey him.
On the other hand, when we do not trust and obey, He will not be our righteousness. Your eyes have become wider. Am I preaching Law? Any Law in this message? There is no Law in this message.
I am only revealing God’s nature so that you will know whether you have his nature or not. I am revealing the life in the kingdom and the type of people that will be found in the kingdom.”
Did we see it? God is our righteousness if we trust and obey him. If we do not trust and obey Him, he will not be our righteousness; hence, you will be holding your own self-destructive righteousness.
Brethren, I wish to enjoin all of us to hold unto God’s righteousness by obeying and trusting His word to save us for He is His word.
In concluding, we should all know that the Night Is Far Spent and the day is already at hand, therefore we all should be awake to the teachings and nature of the Son of Man.
We should endeavor to have the Faith of the Son of Man for having the Faith of the Son of Man is having the nature of the Son of Man.
Consequently, when we hold unto His Faith; we obey Him, we trust in Him, we line up behind Him as our Lord and Leader.
Trying as much as possible to pattern after Him; His way of talking, His way of doing things, then and only then would we have the nature of God (The Son of Man) which is our sure ticket to paradise and then the promised immortality would be inevitable.
Remain blest eternally in the Son of Man.
SONG: THE FAITH OF SON OF MAN
It’s the old time Holy Spirit,
And the devil won’t go near it,
That’s the reason people fear it;
But it’s good enough for me
CHORUS
Give me the Faith of Son of Man,
Give me the Faith of Son of Man,
Give me the Faith of Son of Man
It’s good enough for me
It will make you stop your lying;
It will save you when you are dying;
It will start the devil flying;
And it’s good enough for me
It’s so good I want no other,
For it makes me love my brother
And it brings things from under cover
And it’s good enough for me
It was god for Paul and Silas
Makes me love everybody
It will take us to Paradise
And it’s good enough for me
APPRECIATION 1
By Bishop Abraham Moses
(1) I am using this medium to thank and appreciate the Almighty God “The very son of man” in our midst whom we are serving in spirit and in truth for all he has done for us, most especially in time like this, may all glory and honor be ascribed unto him till eternity.
(2) Brethren, in this one month Lock down, to me it has been a wonderful experience staying together with our individual families to worship God, indeed it is a blessing to us and it is for our own good.
(3) whenever we see the word of God fulfilling in our own day it gives us Joy knowing that indeed we are serving a living God, although God has already told us ahead of time about the trouble which we are experiencing today; that a day is coming when we shall go home and continue to worship God in our homes individually and also that event will force us to go back to our various homes. However, sincerely speaking, we did not know how and when it would happen but today the prophecy has fulfilled to the letter, in all we give thanks to the Almighty God.
(4) Brethren truly speaking our God is the greatest, most especially for providing means in which we are receiving uninterrupted messages which is our living manner from his super family which has remain our live wire and our standard all these years.
(5) Our greatest experience as a family is that we have been able to inculcate a high level of unity and love among us without any hypocrisy and also raise a standard in our family that we will not allow any evil to crawl in to our families.
(6) Brethren remember that we are not worshipping God because of the condition we find ourselves but we are worshipping God because we are his children. That is why anybody that is worshipping God because of hellfire or any occurrence happening around him or her is nothing but a conditional-worshipper.
(7) Always remember that any event around us gives us the stamina to stand gallantly in his word as a true soldier of Christ knowing that HE that called us to himself can never disappoint us no matter the condition we find ourselves.
(8) Brethren, of a truth I can never forget the message that really helped me and my family spiritually as a co-labourer in his own vine yard. The message is titled: IS YOUR LIFE WORTHY OF THE MESSAGE? preached on 7th April, 2020 at the Son of Man’s family altar. Indeed, this message has really helped us to evaluate ourselves individually, that as leaders, we are in front; that no matter how we preach and bring down the heavens, we must watch our lives in everything that we are doing. We must watch our back. God also made it clear that as a minister that what will destroy us is not the message but what will destroy us is our character.
(9) To us as ministers, God told us that the extent we dedicate our lives to Christ determine the extend Christ is going to use us.
(10) To crown it all, this message has remained additional check in our daily lives as a family. In all, we give God the glory for nourishing us till today from his family. This is our little message and experience to the entire bride. Remain blessed in him as we wait at the gate of paradise. Amen.

APPRECIATION 2
ON 5TH MARCH 2020 THURSDAY
MY LITTLE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE ENTIRE BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLDWILD, PART ONE
Like a grain of mustard seed planted upon the surface of the earth, we have grown and have succeeded at last.
My special thanks and appreciation go to no other being but to the Bridal war lord the resurrected body, the consolation of the saints the Son of Man, peter the Christ
Who has not only maintained the strictness of his Apostleship from the very official beginning of this ministry till date, but with love passion, and tenderhearted has driven the Bride to where we are now.
With undiluted gratitude and a heart full of joy and appreciation, I salute our mummy Sis. Nzubechi Odoemena who has maintained her God given position to the body of Christ by way of maintaining a real godly supportive role to the ministry of her husband together with all their children. Our mummy I salute you.
Now to all that are still limping between two opinions whether this ministry is true or not, I warn you to desist from such. Change your mind and your heart immediately toward this ministry for your own good otherwise, you will be enveloped in the wrath of God that is not only eminent but around us now. The wrath of God will envelop you.
to those who have remained faithful and steadfastly in the faith till date, i urge you to continue in him Doubting nothing, more so, now that the victory of the son of man has been pronounced globally.
Jesus Christ said in his day that this gospel of the kingdom must be preached in all the nations of the earth first and then the end will come, and the son man has fulfilled This prophecy to the core and even more.
we have seen 99 in this faith what is 100, evidences of his victory abound around us here both naturally, physically spiritually supernaturally e.t.c.
and so we are left with no excuse, the son of man has giving all his enemies a very wild margin. truly speaking the son of man (peter the Christ) and the entire bride of Christ ministry worldwild have come to stay like a grain of mustard seed. this faith has grown and has grown and has now grown and covers the whole universe. this is our lords doing and it is marvelous in our eyes.
There is no regrets, no shame no defeat, no failure no disappointment to anyone that has been acquainted with the faith of the Son of Man, and has placed all his confidence and trust in him even unto the end; No disappointment.
I am sure and certain that the Son of Man will continue to pilot this sheep that has been entrusted into his hand successfully unto the end and into that promised immortality and paradise as promised. There is no doubt about that, the Son of Man has already won the battle. This is an indisputable fact, for only facts are convincing.
Finally, any moment from now the entire bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide and the entire world globally must confess positively that indeed the Elohim himself, the supreme Deity, the totality of what God is made up of, the Allah himself is dwelling in no other being but in the person of Apostle Peter Odoemena, our kinsman redeemer, who found his resting place in no other place but in the Bride of Christ Ministry World Wide.
Truly speaking, we are the most favoured of all that dwell upon the face of the Earth.
Once more, I say to all of us, let us continue to co-operate with him as he continues to co-operate with the cloud, knowing fully well that our labour of love in the ministry can never be in vain.
I, say shalom to every one of you. As-salamu alayekum and remain blessed in him eternally.
Love from your Brother,
Emmanuel Isiani
