PREACHED ON SUNDAY 23RD OCTOBER, 2016 @ HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE
I have told you time without number that life is not necessarily based on making contacts but based on making impacts positively or negatively. Yes! Impact is impact. It can be positive, it can be negative depending on the way you are ordained.
From the message: fact about life. Preached 21st June, 2009 pg 3 vs 2

WHAT YOU MADE YOURSELF IS
WHAT YOU ARE
Remain blessed brethren! The message before me is titled “WHOSE ELECT ARE YOU”
Are you the elect of THE SON OF MAN? Are you THE SON OF MAN’s Elect or are you Moses’ elect.
2. THIS MESSAGE WAS PREACHED ON 18TH SEPTEMBER 2011, AT THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE SON OF MAN, THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE.
3. DO YOU KNOW THAT AN EMPLOYEE OF ANY FIRM, ANYWHERE HAS NO FUTURE PROTECTION? WHEN YOU ARE IN A JOB THAT IS NOT THE ONE YOU CREATED, YOU CANNOT STAND UP AND SAY, “I HAVE JOB SECURITY.”
4. AND AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT HAVE JOB SECURITY, YOU DO NOT HAVE FUTURE SECURITY. ONCE YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE TO SOMEBODY, YOU CAN BE RELIEVED OF YOUR JOB ANY TIME, WHETHER YOU COMMIT CRIME OR NOT.
5. YOU CAN ALSO RESIGN ANYTIME IF THE SITUATION YOU FIND YOURSELF BECOMES VERY UNBEARABLE TO YOU EVEN WITHOUT GETTING ANOTHER OCCUPATION YOU PREFER TO STAY WITHOUT WORK TO STAYING THERE.
6. Bro Onyema stand up! How many knows Bro. Onyema Opi? we call him Onyema opi. We call him Chimaobi. We call him everything. How many know him? Good! He started as Okada rider.
7. When he left the school, he did not want to stay idle, he picked Okada, while he was riding Okada, he was improving himself academically until he passed JAMB. Nobody could sponsor him. He decided to take up employment to help himself.
8. Gradually, he secured admission into IMT Enugu while he was still working on his own. Before we knew it, he graduated. He went for youth service and passed out. He employed himself, away from his profession, but not completely, for he is versatile.
9. He is the one that erected our brother Chudubem’s house. He has erected many mansions including that of our Brother Clifford, using workers.
10. Brother, what was the course you read? He answered, ‘Estate Management’ But what are you doing? Engineering. You are a building engineer. Did you read it in the school? No sir. Sit down!
11. He read Estate management but employed himself in building engineering, including electrical. He can undertake the wiring of this house.
12. There is another person here. Bro. IK Ezindu stand up there! A man of multiple occupations. I brought him all the way from Aba as an okada rider without any other occupation. Although he has his school cert, but nobody could sponsor him. He decided to use his brain.
13. This is the number one Chinese I have in this camp. I have told you our secret. We do not believe in transferring technology. Technology can never be transferred. Rather, it is stolen.
14. So whatever he is practicing today, I call it stolen technology because he was a professional thief.
15. I now decided to reorder him to use that sharp brain he used in the stealing, to steal technology.
16. NO MAN IS AS BRILLIANT AS A THIEF. THAT IS WHY, IF YOU ARE ACADEMICALLY BRILLIANT AND MORALLY BANKRUPT, YOU MUST END IT BEING A BRILLIANT CRIMINAL.
17. He was academically brilliant but he lacked morals, so he became a brilliant thief. I said, “No! You will not steal oil again. You will not do bunkering. You will not do this and that. See what you will be doing.”
18. I brought people from Sierra Leone. Steal this technology. Pretend you are helping them. Do not allow them to know that we coming to steal this technology.
19. I was watching. They were doing it in My house. When they finished two sites only, I sent them away telling them that My money has finished and that I will call them back.
20. I bought the whole chemicals, called Brother IK and said, “Let us demonstrate what we stole. We went to stealing and we stole something.”
21. So, the stolen technology was demonstrated, we made a little mistake, we removed it and corrected it overnight.
22. Before morning, people that came to my house were astonished, they were asking Me whether I brought back the Sierra Leoneans and I said, “No! I sent them packing.” The rest of the POP was completed by Bro. IK, single handedly. He went further and perfected. Go to Umuoji and see everywhere.
23. Then I said, it is not enough. We went to carpentry technology. He was showing interest in the bricklaying but I said, “No! There is no money there. That one will keep you on a narrow path. We are going to this carpentry work.”
24. I brought a professional from Anam. When he came, I called Bro. IK and said, “Serve him good. Make no mistake of making him know that we are stealing the technology.”
25. So we did until we finished that work. I said Amen. We went to Umuoji. I called the same Anam man and brought Bro. IK again. They went upstairs. He [Bro IK] learnt the measurement and everything, how to put the long span together, and then perfected.
26. I said OK, from bricklaying to everything we will demonstrate with my house. Come we will lay foundation.
27. I and Bro. IK laid the foundation of my house at Nsugbe, built it to completion both the zinc, even this PVC. I brought somebody also, “Bro. IK this is what I want.
28. Pay strict attention. We will steal this PVC. It is not a big deal. So when he said he has stolen the thing, we demonstrated it, but the thing collapsed.
29. I said, “Ok, it is a sign that we have not mastered it. Let us go back.” We went back, understudied another person and came back again. Bro. IK gave Me a perfect work. Today he is the best in PVC, best in roofing, best even in construction, iron bending, only once from our late brother Christian Akpe. I told him to sit down, that you are drunk. You will learn this one easier than others.”
30. In less than three days, he completed the whole rods. Today he can knit the mat in every storey building, and give you a perfect work. He is very versatile.
31. What is more? Somebody that was adjudged unprofitable, set aside in his community, but today he is married with children. Today, he is laying a foundation for his own personal storey building in his father’s compound. Sit down!
32. I am giving you the profiles of those that are still alive and in our midst that have believed My Message which has transformed their lives.
33. For the Message THE SON OF MAN is giving is the Message that transforms lives if only you will believe.
34. Believing means putting it into practice, and not Lord I believe, then you sit down. I believe you sit down and when we want to discuss, you discuss more than everybody, but in performance, you perform nothing.
35. Any topic that is introduced, I know more than that, I know more than that. Then perform more than that! Will you wait until you die?
36. Some have started thinking of when their children will start up a business in order to feed them.
37. If your child goes to serve somebody, you write him a letter. If your sister goes to serve somebody, you also write her a letter. If somebody marries her, you will go to the person to feed and clothe you.
38. What then will she do for her husband and her children? Why did he marry? Is it not for the wife to be a help to him? Will you be happy instead of your wife to be a help mate for you, she will rather be of help to her people? Mad people!
39. TURNING THINGS UPSIDE DOWN. THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE SAID TO THE PEOPLE OF THE JEWS, “YOUR TURNING OF THINGS UP-SIDE-DOWN WILL DESTROY YOU.” A MAN DESTROYS HIS FUTURE, ONLY TO TURN ROUND TO BLAME IT ON DESTINY.
40. WHAT IS DESTINY? WHAT IS DESTINY? IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE DEFINITION OF DESTINY YOU ARE THE MOST MISERABLE HUMAN BEING. EVEN IF YOU ARE DESTINED TO POVERTY, YOU CAN CHANGE IT.
41. I was laying examples concerning marriage and how you would cross breed and then get a better product in your family.
42. Know your family. Is there anyone that does not know the family he came out from?
43. I gave example with My own yesterday. All the people that came yesterday, if you forget all I told you, your conditions will never change till eternity because your families are like my own.
44. Yes! Had it been I toed the same path with my siblings, I would have been like my siblings. I saw the way my siblings were going. I also saw the way my parents were going but I said, “No!” I am the one that said, “No! I will not.” MOVE WITH THE MOVING TIME.
45. If you plan and it fails. You plan again, and it will fail. Were you destined to failure? You look like yourself. Everybody looks like himself.
46. WHAT YOU MADE YOURSELF IS WHAT YOU ARE. YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER DID NOT MAKE YOU WHAT YOU ARE. I AM WHAT I MADE MYSELF. GOD WILL ONLY HELP ONE THAT IS LABOURING. GOD WILL NOT LABOUR FOR YOU.
47. God will only help one that is labouring. God cannot help a lazy man. Do you understand what I am saying? If I love you so much I will give you clothe, but I will not dress you with it. You have the right to use it as head tie or you tie it round your neck and move about naked.
48. But if you know the value, you wear it as a human being.
49. The message of Christ is the clothe which God has given us. Is it a lie? If you know the value, you wear it. If you do not know the value, you keep it by the side
50. Brother, read that Message. Let me go out. If I do not go out, the anointing of this Message will last long.
The zeal is no longer in us and I do not think that He will close his mouth. If really He is the One that called us His own and He said that “I LOVE YOU, I will take you home, if He sees us in this weakness and closes His mouth, wherein lieth His love.
FOR YE ARE NOT AS YET COME TO THE REST, pg.41 vs 15

WHEN GOD SPEAKS
CHAPTER ONE: KNOW THE POINT WHERE YOU WERE CALLED.
2. IF YOU SAY YOU ARE AN ELECT ACCORDING TO GOD’S OWN KNOWLEDGE, YOU WERE CHOSEN IN HIM BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN, YOU WERE THIS AND THAT, FINE! BE VERY CAREFUL THAT YOU ARE NOT QUOTING SOMEBODY’S ELECTION.
3. Can you see in all the Messages, God has been hammering on Ephraimite? Why you are what you are! If you are not an Ephraimite, you can never be comfortable in this Faith.
4. If you are not numbered among the Ephraimites that are here, you can never be comfortable in this faith.
5. In order words, for you to become comfortable, you must be a Jew. You must be numbered among the children of Ephraim who were made gentiles by God that His own purpose and election might stand sure.
6. For this is the only Faith that unites the Gentiles with the Jews without any further demands.
7. God is not demanding any other thing from the Jews. Equally, He is not demanding any other thing from the Gentiles. You are comfortable.
8. You must be an Ephraimite for you to be comfortable in this Faith.
9. I hope you have heard about the volcanic eruption in Kano, something that has never happened since the history of Nigeria happened in Kano recently—where a volcano erupted and magma extruded and then demolished houses and things like that.
10. The gas emitted from the volcano caused blindness in that village, and they are expecting that the first earthquake in Nigeria may happen that place; while there is a big landslide in Ibadan.
11. And it has happened in Kaduna twice. First volcanic eruption in Kano. First earthquake in Kaduna.
12. William Branham knew the position of the Bible but he was sore afraid in all his outing to the Nazarenes, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals and so on. He would tell them, “There are too many things I believe which I cannot say among you, lest I will scatter you.
13. But when I get home, in my own tabernacle, I will publish the wholesome truth.”
14. He was afraid of scattering them. He did not want to be accused of being a confusionist.
15. Secondly, he was going about collecting money from them in the name of tithe and offering. Yet, he did not belong to them.
16. He said, “He received a commission to go out and call the elect out of those organized groups. “Come out from among them, lest you take the mark of the beast.”” How many came out?
17. Then, before he left the scene, grievous wolves had already manifested. Not that they were manifesting, too many grievous wolves had already come to fight when he was still alive. And they started establishing their personal tabernacles after Branham.
18. You will hear, “William Cage tabernacle.” You will hear, “Bible Believers tabernacle.” So, so and so tabernacle.
19. That is why when the message came to Nigeria, you will hear, “Elijah’s Church” or “Elijah’s tabernacle.” They were all credited to their owners.
20. I do not know whether you are following Me at all. I AM SAYING THAT IMMEDIATELY THE PROPHET LEFT THE SCENE, IT WAS THE END OF EVERYTHING BECAUSE HE ESTABLISHED NO CHURCH.
21. They denominated the message. It went after the names of the owners. A pastor becomes everything in that church that is how they are.
22. God never called him to establish any Church anywhere. He never established even one except his tabernacle located in his house. And people were running thousands of miles to go there.
23. Immediately he died, the cave collapsed. And that was the end. If you do not know what this faith was all about, know it now.
24. The cave collapsed, that was the end of the movement. Nothing came out of that movement again.
25. I WAS ADDRESSING SOME ELDERS IN MY HOUSE WHO CARRY “CALLING,” “CHOSEN” AND “ELECTION” BEYOND WHAT IT IS.
26. IF YOU SAY YOU ARE AN ELECT ACCORDING TO GOD’S OWN KNOWLEDGE, YOU WERE CHOSEN IN HIM BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN, YOU WERE THIS AND THAT. FINE!
27. BE VERY CAREFUL THAT YOU ARE NOT QUOTING SOMEBODY’S ELECTION OR CLAIMING SOMEBODY’S ELECTION. ST. PAUL COULD MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT, BUT YOU ARE NOT ST. PAUL.
28. BEFORE YOU MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT, YOU MUST BE SURE AND CERTAIN. FOR YOU CAN NEVER BE CALLED OR ELECTED OR CHOSEN BEFORE THE ANGEL MESSENGER OF YOUR AGE APPEARED.
29. FOR THE PERSON THAT WILL CALL YOU IS THE MESSENGER OF YOUR DAY WHOSE VOICE YOU MUST HEAR.
30. For that is the voice that is allotted to your age. Before then, nobody has called you, nobody elected you, and nobody has chosen you.
31. I do not care what Peter was. For Peter was at the sea or seashore before the messenger of salvation of his day came. And said, “Peter, follow me. James, Follow me. Andrew, Follow me.” Bartholomew, Nathaniel, Matthew, Luke, Silvanus, Timothy “Follow me.” Oh no!
32. The rest wanted to follow, but he said, “Wait! Go and count the cost.” And the costs started by asking them to go into the water to be baptized. You must be baptized before you can follow me. Did he give those people he called conditions?
33. YOU MUST KNOW THE POINT WHERE YOU WERE CALLED. Many are called few are chosen. If you are a chosen person, somebody must choose you before you become a chosen person.
34. That is why Jesus told them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Did I not choose twelve of you? Did I not know that among you, there must be a traitor? That the Scripture might be fulfilled.”
35. Which Scripture? The Scripture that was written concerning him.
36. There was no way he could have chosen them without including one in whom that Scripture will be fulfilled.
37. Before then, they were called. Secondly, they were chosen. Thirdly, they were commissioned. CALLED, CHOSEN and COMMISSIONED. Amen.
38. WHOSE ELECT ARE YOU?: Now, note it. You cannot be an elect of a dispensation you never appeared. Otherwise, you will be an elect according to Moses faith. But Moses took off from where you are. Moses is not your messenger.
39. William Branham said, “That the guilt of this world has remained the people living in the glare of past dispensation.” If Pentecost was very far from Martin Luther, Wesley, Branham, how far is Pentecost from you?
40. The message for Pentecost was for Pentecost day. He said, “It could not be carried to Martin. Martin will say no.” It could not be carried to Columba or to Irenaeus. No! It is not their message.
41. It is for another age that is past. Then to William Branham, he said, “It is too far away.” Moses message was far from Paul.
42. But the useless book you called Bible compounded the whole thing because the writers and compilers jammed messages together, which were Collected from different dispensations. Not only dispensations, but different works.
43. The Bible you are holding is about five hundred and something years. Five hundred and five years today or there about. 505!
44. WHOSE ELECT ARE YOU AND WHEN WERE YOU ELECTED? ST. PAUL KNEW WHO HE WAS, UNTIL THE DAY HE WAS CALLED “SAUL, SAUL.”
45. HE KNEW WHERE HE BELONGED TO UNTIL THE DAY HE WAS CALLED.
46. THAT WAS THE DAY HE SEPARATED AND FOLLOWED THE VOICE.
47. PHILIP KNEW WHERE HE BELONGED TO UNTIL HE WAS CALLED. APOLLOS KNEW WHERE HE BELONGED TO UNTIL HE WAS CALLED.
48. YOU ARE NOT CALLED, YOU ARE NOT ELECTED, YOU ARE NOT CHOSEN UNTIL THE MESSENGER OF YOUR DAY APPEARED. AND YOU MUST HEAR YOUR NAME BEFORE YOU MUST RESPOND.
49. IF YOU DO NOT HEAR YOUR NAME AND YOU JUST RUN, YOU WILL BECOME MARTHA.
50. The prophet said something. “When God sends a man with a message, he gives him people that will believe Him.”
51. But look at Nathaniel. He said, “Nathaniel, when you were there under that fig tree, I saw you. An Israelite that has no guile. Follow Me, and you will see greater things ahead.”
52. Yet, there were Pharisees, pious and virtues Pharisees, but Mary Magdalene became his delight.
53. If anybody could go and purchase perfume and begin to spray like Mary Magdalene, thinking that that was what she did to obtain favour.
54. It is like many were following him because of food and drink. But the messenger had already made His choice. Finish!
55. Be very careful. When you talk about “election and chosen” and all worth not, be very, very careful. Otherwise, any imaginary god called you.
56. BE VERY CAREFUL. IF YOU OPEN THE WEBSITES WHERE WE HAVE THE SERMON BOOKS AND SEE WILLIAM BRANHAM’S QUOTES, WE ARE NOT AIMING AT ESPOUSING YOU TO BRANHAM. NO! WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU KNOW THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR DAY WAS PROPHESIED LONG, LONG TIME AGO.
57. WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU SEE THAT YOU ARE A PART OF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECIES THAT WENT AHEAD OF TIME CONCERNING THIS HOUR. Not that we are pushing you to Branham’s day.
58. Hear me very well. The prophecy or the voice William Branham received said and I quote, “As John the Baptist foreran his first advent – first coming, so shall your message forerun His second coming.” Underline it.
59. And there can never be a message without a messenger. The moment a message introduces the second return, the Resurrected Body, it has finished.
60. Immediately John the Baptist introduced the Messiah of that day, those that knew the truth left John the Baptist and followed the Messiah. Even those that continued to follow him anyhow, asked him a question.
61. THE BRIDE WILL GO WHERE THE BRIDEGROOM IS, THE WORLD WILL GO WHERE THE ATTRACTION IS. AS THE FORERUNNER OF THE BRIDEGROOM, I WAS THE ATTRACTION IN THE WILDERNESS.
62. What am I saying? That we placed William Branham’s photograph, it is an attraction. Otherwise, many many are lost. Remember, it was not easy to believe Jesus when he came.
63. They said, “We knew Moses, but concerning this man, we know him not.”
64. There were some that said, “We know Prophet Branham, but concerning this man, we do not know Him. Besides, He is a black man. Can any good thing come from the black, especially Nigeria?”
65. The moment the websites are opened and they begin to read the prophecies, their eyes will begin to open.
66. The prophet said we should go to Africa. That is where He is coming from, and as a black man. That this will stumble America.
67. CHRIST HAS CONQUERED THE WORLD:
68. WE ARE LAUNCHING MESSAGES IN THE AIR AS A COMMISSION FROM GOD AS THE ONLY WAY THOSE THAT ARE IN FAR OFF COUNTRIES WILL BE ACQUAINTED WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING. AND ALSO, AS A WITNESS AGAINST THIS GENERATION.
69. Well, good news to you. We have a printout we printed from our website. This is the map of the world. This map of the world indicated countries that have read our books.
70. This is the one we printed on Thursday. If not for the problem of the Internet, we would have printed Friday up till this morning.
71. You will see everything as it was recorded. You see countries. You see all of them.
72. Nigeria: 1,310. This one is Nigeria alone as at that Thursday. You see, you are here, but some people are there. You do not know where they are.
73. Right now in this Fellowship, are we up to one thousand? But one thousand plus on Thursday alone recorded.
74. That was in the beginning, five years ago. You see, gradually, countries increased. The number of the countries increased until we are where we are now.
75. When God speaks, He backs up His Word. We are launching it in line with God’s commission, for that is the only way we can reach the people out there.
76. WE ARE LAUNCHING MESSAGES IN THE AIR AS A COMMISSION FROM GOD AS THE ONLY WAY THOSE THAT ARE IN FAR OFF COUNTRIES WILL BE ACQUAINTED WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING. AND ALSO, AS A WITNESS AGAINST THIS GENERATION.
77. And also as a witness against this generation. Is it not the Bible? That this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached throughout the whole earth as a witness against the world. That light has appeared in the world, they neglected the light and loved darkness because their deeds are evil.
78. Nigeria, 1, 310. This one is Nigeria alone as at that Thursday. You see, you are here, some people are there. You do not know where they are.
79. Right now in this Fellowship, are we up to one thousand? But one thousand plus on Thursday alone recorded. They read the messages. They opened the cyber and read from there.
80. Bridal chronicles last week. Nigeria is number one with 3,382 followed by United States of America, 3,213. Then number three, Russia federation. I think I am correct, 2,641. Then South Africa, Ethiopia, Indonesia. Then number seven is Israel with two thousand. And then, Britain with two thousand plus.
81. One of our brothers here, that is Brother Victor Nnachor, after going through it, wrote a letter to us on the contact page posting it to our E-mail, thanking and praising God all the way from Taraba.
82. He said, “It is a wonder. It is marvelous. It is unbelievable!”
83. Number two: United States, 101. United States of America on Thursday alone recorded 101. Thus, we could be here and in America at the same time. And all over Nigeria.
84. Number three: Zimbabwe, 11. Number four: United Kingdom, 9. United Kingdom on Thursday, 9. Senegal, 7. Number 6: China, 3.
85. You see how we started as a mustard seed, but today we are recording in thousands. Sometimes America will be leading with over 4,000. Others will follow suit. Go to the message proper.
86. YOU ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS: YOU ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS IF YOU HAVE BELIEVED THE SON OF MAN.
87. AND ONCE YOU ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR, YOU BECOME CHRIST’S REPRESENTATIVES. ANYBODY THAT IS OPPOSING YOU IS OPPOSING CHRIST.
88. Watch! We are not parading any man. We are presenting something to the world. SOMETHING THAT IS ASTONISHING AND THAT IS SALVATION.
89. HEAR ME WELL. EACH TIME A MESSENGER IS SENT IN ANY AGE, HE COMES WITH SALVATION IN HIS HAND. EVERY MESSENGER FROM GOD COMES WITH SALVATION IN HIS HAND. NOTE IT!
90. UNLESS GOD IS NOT HERE. BUT WHEN GOD APPEARS, HE APPEARS WITH COMPLETE SALVATION. WHEN GOD COMES FULLY, HE COMES WITH FULL AND COMPLETE SALVATION.
91. You know people do not know what the second coming of Christ is all about. It is written clearly in Hebrews chapter 9, when he will come, how He will come and what He will do.
92. He will not deal with sin anymore for that has been taken care of. He comes with FULL AND COMPLETE SALVATION to those who are patiently and eagerly waiting for Him. Not to everybody. [Hebrews 9:28]
93. How many people are going to Church now because of salvation? Definitely nobody. Nobody goes to Church because of salvation.
94. Many have concluded in their hearts that there is nothing like salvation.
95. They are just going to ease their frustration and to seek material possession. It is hard to believe, but it is true.
96. In our websites, by His grace, we have logged on 38 messages. Apart from quotes from the prophet. We have launched 38 books in there.
97. As at that time. You see how fast we have grown? We are now talking about hundreds.
98. The 38 books is excluded from the 6 we logged in from the Great Sermon. I believe we are making a progress in that regard.
99. Before Wednesday this week, the Lord willing, we may upload about fifteen other books whose copies are ready right now. For your information, these are books or Messages that are there already.
100. Apart from William Branham’s quotes, the history of the faith, Messages from the Great Sermon that is “SALVATION BY GRACE”
101. So we have been in the website for five years. Since 2011. It is worth celebrating.
102. Apart from William Branham’s quotes, the history of the faith, Messages from the Great Sermon that is “SALVATION BY GRACE, JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH. WHY PEOPLE HATE PREACHING SALVATION BY GRACE OF GOD ALONE.”
103. They are all there. “THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN” Surely, the law has been abolished. If I am afraid, I do not think I would have logged on all those Messages for the whole world to know and then crucify Me publicly.
104. But instead of crucifying Me, they are praising God. What is My joy? Of all that have read the Messages so far, from all the countries, not even one has ever found fault with us. Not even one has ever criticized us. Rather, they are thanking God for what is happening.
105. Then, who is that person that will be making noise in Onitsha? It is still a domestic noise and should be placed in the kitchen or in the toilet.
106. I mean, people that are worth something worldwide including Nigeria are rejoicing over the Message.
107. IF I AM NOT SURE OF WHAT I AM TEACHING YOU, HOW CAN I GO OUT? IF IT IS NOT TRUE, HOW CAN GOD CONFIRM IT? IF CHRIST IS WRONG, I AM WRONG.
108. YOU ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS, IF YOU HAVE BELIEVED THE SON OF MAN. AND ONCE YOU ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR, YOU BECOME CHRIST’S REPRESENTATIVES. ANYBODY THAT IS OPPOSING YOU IS OPPOSING CHRIST.
109. YOU DO NOT GIVE HIM EVEN A SECOND THAT THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL WILL CONTINUE. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TALK, TALK. IT IS YOUR RIGHT. BUT DO NOT TALK NEAR ME. YOU DO NOT CARRY IT NEAR ME.
110. I AM AN AMBASSADOR OF CHRIST. A REPRESENTATIVE. WHATEVER CHRIST STANDS FOR, THAT IS WHAT I AM STANDING FOR.
111. NO MORE. NO LESS. HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME.
112. HEAR ME WELL. YOU MUST HATE SOMEBODY BEFORE YOU SPEAK EVIL OF HIM. IS IT NOT TRUE? YOU MUST HATE CHRIST BEFORE YOU SPEAK EVIL OF CHRIST.
113. WISE PEOPLE ARE CONSCIOUS. THEY DO NOT OPEN THEIR MOUTH ANYHOW LEST THEY INCUR THE WRATH OF THE NATION TO THEMSELVES WITH THE WORDS OF THEIR MOUTH.
114. We are not practicing religion. Religion is out there. We are called out from religion to embrace the truth, for there is no truth in any religion. Religion is full of propaganda. Religion is full of politics, divide and rule. That is religion.
115. That is why Christ is not a religious being. He does not belong to any religious group.
116. Read the books. [1] THE COVENANT GOD. [2] AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS. [3] BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION. [4] MY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ME. [5] ADDING VALUE TO HUMAN LIVES. [6] ARE YOU A CHURCH GOER OR A TRUE WORSHIPPER OF GOD? [7] AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS VOLUME 1.
117. THE LOVE OF GOD: As far as I live in this Bridal faith, a known hypocrite should pray that he or she will not die. Otherwise, the corpse is the responsibility of the relations.
118. At Isi-Ala-Ngwa, we lost a Brother by death. We call him a Brother because they restored him before he died. Before his restoration, he had a record that he always stayed away from Fellowship.
119. That is the much we will take from this Message WHOSE ELECT ARE YOU. I have something in mind. I wanted to use it to divert attention from what I was discussing in the morning, but there is no way we can wait by folding our arms.
120. For God who said we should wait at the gate told us what we should be doing and anybody that has refused that instruction must surely bring shame and ridicule to himself and may even end it making a shipwreck of his waiting.
121. Any man that feels comfortable doing nothing truly speaking is the greatest fool. If you feel comfortable in your unproductive estate, a mad man is better than you, for a mad man keeps himself busy. A mad man can only stay idle when he wants to rest.
122. Even the Bible enjoins us to learn a lesson from the ant. They do not rest. They work in the day. They sleep in the night. But whosoever that decides to sleep in the day, will he be working in the night? When you idle away the day, what will you be using the night to do? You idle away your productive hours by perambulating the whole street giving the impression that you are going out for something tangible when you are doing absolutely nothing.
123. LABOUR IS NO LABOUR UNTIL IT PRODUCES FRUIT. OTHERWISE, THE ESSENCE OF CULTIVATING THE FARM IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS. NOTHING GLADDENS THE HEART OF THE FARMER MORE THAN A BUMPER HARVEST.
124. IF THE REWARD FOR YOUR LABOUR IS NOT COMMENSURATE WITH THE EFFORTS YOU ARE MAKING, STOP AND THINK. IF THE LABOUR IS NOT WORTH THE CANDLE, STOP AND THINK. LABOUR IS NO LABOUR UNTIL IT YIELDS A COMMENSURATE DIVIDEND. UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING.
125. It is unfortunate that we are flooded here by people who do much more looking in their brother’s farmland but less weeding in their own farmland. Busy bodies in another man’s affair.
126. I will like us to bend down and begin to do more weeding in our farms and less looking into our neighbour’s farms.
127. Think home from now. If our departure tarries, what will be my fate tomorrow? If while I am thinking that next year will be the end of the whole thing and the Almighty extends it till ten years time, what will be my fate?
128. If you cannot ask this type of question and supply the needed answer, you may have troubles with time. I am telling you the much I know.
129. Remember, it is not the question you ask yourself that determines the action you will take but the answer you supply to the question. You can ask yourself the right question but supply the wrong answer. It must give you something you least expected.
130. To the children here who are coming up, I want to make a choice. I really want to make a choice. A choice that has not featured so much. And no other is adequate but Bro. Lucky. Follow me to the pulpit.
131. Use that Voice Ngwa people normally use in singing. Use it to sing this Message. You know, they have a very nice melodious voice, which they can change at will.
132. Let me tell you. All of you that are students should have better voices than mine. Your voices should be ringing like bell but you do not exercise them. Why? When you exercise your voice on a daily basis, your vocal cord will expand, it becomes elastic and you can fine-tune it. Was any of you a member of the choir in the church in your village, where they sing all the tones like bass, alto, treble and things like that?
133. Read to the hearing of our parents and our children, both those that are clamouring to be there and those that are there already.

CREAT A WORLD AROUND YOURSELF
Remain Blessed Brethren. I am reading from the message “THE MERITS OF EDUCATION APPRECIATION”
2. THE MERITS, THE ADVANTAGES OF EDUCATION APPRECIATION. WHEN YOU APPRECIATE EDUCATION, ADVANTAGES WILL FOLLOW YOU. WHEN YOU WANT TO GO EDUCATION WAY, YOU DEVELOP PASSION FOR IT.
3. REMEMBER, THERE ARE MANY FORMS OF EDUCATION. THIS ONE WAS HANDLED AT THE PRIMARY LEVEL. WE HAVE REGIMENTED EDUCATION AND UNREGIMENTED EDUCATION.
4. SO DO NOT CONSIDER EDUCATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY POINT OR TERTIARY INSTITUTION.
5. YOU CAN STILL STAY AT HOME AND DEVELOP YOURSELF EDUCATIONALLY. WHEN YOU HAVE PASSION FOR READING, AND YOU READ WIDELY, YOU ARE IMPROVING YOUR WORTH.
6. IF ONLY WE CAN USE THE PASSION WE DEVOTE TO EATING AND DRINKING, ATTENDING PARTIES OF ALL SORTS AND PROMOTING HEATHENS COURSES.
7. IF WE CAN DEVELOP OURSELVES, I MEAN DIRECTING OUR PASSIONS TO THIS AREAS, TOMORROW MAY BE BETTER. TOMORROW MAY BE BETTER.
8. Education is enlightenment of the mind. An educated fellow is an enlightened fellow.
9. An uneducated fellow gropes in the dark. He is enveloped in the dark, making a trial of life. An illiterate person is a slave to the society.
10. To him, it should not be “an” is “a.” Article A. Article A. Correct it if you have a copy. An illiterate is not English English.
11. Forget about those you hear using those jargons. Nobody is exempted. They are professors, but not professors of English language.
12. They are professors in their own discipline. So nobody will condemn their grammatical representations because they never went to the university to study grammar. The little they know is what they use to convey what they have as their course. Have you corrected it? Otherwise you will credit it to me.
13. It is those that transcribed it. They feel they know better than Myself. I read one the other day. You hear Me oftentimes say, “An history”. “An historian”. And somebody corrected it by writing “A”. There is nothing like “a historian.” It is “an historian.” Take note of it.
14. Just like many of you that use, [whether you call it] adverb or adjective, be very careful. You ca not use “can” and “able”. You can do it. You are able to do it. You cannot say, “can be able”. It is a jargon. Tautology.
15. You do not try it. Your professors can use those nonsenses. Do not follow them because personality depends on how you present your facts.
16. If you cannot speak boldly and use the words that are appropriate for every occasion, you can hardly make a good speaker.
17. People will be sighing while you are talking. So select your words. Do not use big words. Simplify the words.
18. Message is no message until it is passed according to the level and understanding of the hearers.
19. Education is a treasure. The only treasure that is personalized is education. Education is the shortest cut to eradication of ignorance.
20. A personal property. But remember one that is not educated is enveloped in a cocoon, enveloped in darkness and groping in darkness; which means he does not know what life entails.
21. Whatever he does is trial and error. Try your luck! Try your luck! Any life that is based on try-your-luck will end in nullity. Yes!
22. GENDER DISCRIMINATION: CULTURAL MENTAL SLAVERY: I have a Message titled GENDER DISCRIMINATION. It is a book. Fine. One day I will come up with it. And I will give you the latest version; The latest version of GENDER DISCRIMINATION. That book says, “Say no to gender discrimination”. That is the Message. I think we have it here. SAY NO TO GENDER DISCRIMINATION.
23. INTELLIGENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR SEX. INTELLIGENCE DOES NOT KNOW WHETHER YOU ARE MALE OR FEMALE. IS IT RIGHT? SO THE DAYS ARE GONE WHEN PEOPLE FAILED AND ATTRIBUTED THEIR FAILURES TO GENDER.
24. I WILL COME UP WITH THE MESSAGE. INTELLIGENCE IS A MATTER OF THE BRAIN NOT A MATTER OF GENDER. THIS IS WHERE I AM HAVING MY MOST PERPLEXING PROBLEM IN THIS FAITH, BECAUSE OF THE STRINGENT REGULATIONS I DECIDED TO ATTACH TO THIS FAITH TO ENABLE ME CONTROL YOU.
25. IF NOT, I WOULD HAVE ALLOWED SOME SISTERS TO MOUNT THE PULPIT TO HUMILIATE SO-CALLED MINISTERS WHO ARE MERELY BASKING AS MINISTERS, USING THEIR MASCULINE GENDER TO WIELD UNNECESSARY INFLUENCE AND POWER, WHICH THEY DO NOT EVEN POSSESS, WHEN SISTERS, EVEN MOTHERS AND SPINSTERS THAT ARE SITTING DOWN ARE MUCH MORE BRILLIANT THAN THEM.
26. THE SAME THING IS APPLICABLE TO PRODUCTIVITY. WHY IS A MAN DEPENDING ON HIS WIFE FOR SURVIVAL?
27. WHY IS A MAN SURRENDERING HIS RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE WIFE? IT IS A SIGN OF MALFORMATION, MALFUNCTIONING OF THE BRAIN. AM I MAKING SENSE?
28. WHY ARE SUCH PEOPLE NOT ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES? IT IS BECAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE BRAIN. WHICH CANNOT HELP THEM TO KNOW THE AWFUL IMPLICATIONS OF A MAN ABDICATING HIS RESPONSIBILITIES. A SHAMEFUL THING TO HEAR.
29. INSTEAD OF COVERING THEIR FACES IN SHAME, YOU SEE THEM PRIDING THEMSELVES ABOUT.
30. WHY? HE IS NOT ENLIGHTENED TO THAT EXTENT. HE IS NOT EDUCATED TO THAT POINT. HE IS GROPING IN DARKNESS. AN ENLIGHTENED MIND CAN NEVER ABDICATE HIS RESPONSIBILITIES.
31. HE ACCEPTS HIS RESPONSIBILITIES READILY. HE IS READY, EVEN TO MORTGAGE HIMSELF TO LIVE UP TO HIS RESPONSIBILITIES.
32. THE SAME WAY, I AND OTHER APOSTLES THAT WERE BEFORE ME, SACRIFICED OUR LIVES UNDER HORRIBLE CONDITIONS. WE NEVER ABDICATED OUR RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARDS THE CHURCHES.
33. WE WERE PREPARED TO DIE THAT THEY MAY LIVE, PREACHING UNDER HORRIBLE CONDITIONS, CARRYING DEATH ON OUR BODIES THAT YOU MAY OBTAIN SALVATION IN CHRIST.
34. THE SAME WAY, A MAN GOES TO ALL LENGTH TO LIVE UP TO HIS RESPONSIBILITIES, IF HE IS DEVELOPED MENTALLY, AND IF HE IS NOT ENVELOPED IN A COCOON.
35. I LIKE THIS AUDIENCE BECAUSE OFTENTIMES, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EDUCATION, YOUR MINDS WILL GO TO TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS. SOMETIMES YOUR MINDS WILL GO TO YOUR CHILDREN.
36. YOU CAN GROW ABOVE EVERY OTHER THING. NO MAN HAS EVER GROWN ABOVE EDUCATION.
37. EDUCATION IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS THAT DOES NOT RESPECT AGE.
38. NOBODY HAS EVER USED AGE AS AN EXCUSE FOR BEING UNEDUCATED. I AM CONSIDERING EDUCATION BEYOND KNOWING HOW TO READ AND WRITE.
39. It is a small pamphlet from a family altar that lasted about ten minutes. But we may consider it for one hour.
40. GENDER DISCRIMINATION has to do with culture, and look at the description CULTURAL MENTAL SLAVERY. “Sir, leave her she is a woman.”
41. There was a time women were not being trained. After she will get married. But they fail to think of the type of husband she will marry. Of what use is a woman’s education. After all, she will marry, she is a woman.”
42. That mentality is still governing many people’s actions today. What I am telling you is the truth. The position he will give his child is that she should go to the market to sell with the mother. The child should accompany the mother in the shade. “Why should I pay school fees for her. Let her learn how to sew. Let her learn how to amend clothe”. Why? She is a female.
43. CULTURAL MENTAL SLAVERY. If you are still chained by this type of mentality in this Faith, you are not made for today. You are made for yester-years. You can be in this age, yet be of a primitive order.
44. Everything can fade, but education cannot fade. An undeveloped human being is a curse.
45. AN UNDEVELOPED HUMAN BEING IS WHAT? A CURSE. IS THERE ANY WAY ANY SOCIETY CAN DEVELOP WITHOUT HUMAN BEINGS? WHATEVER YOU CALL DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOCIETY, IN THE FAMILY, IS BROUGHT ABOUT BY HUMAN BEINGS.
46. WHEN YOU HAVE UNDEVELOPED HUMAN BEINGS, YOUR FAMILY WILL REMAIN UNDEVELOPED.
47. YOU SEE WHY WE DEVELOP THE HUMAN CAPITAL, THE HUMAN CAPACITY.
48. IF YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY TO REMAIN IN THE PRIMITIVE WAY, CONTINUE WITH THE PRIMITIVE REASONING, THE PRIMITIVE WAY OF SEEING THINGS AND THE PRIMITIVE WAY OF DOING THINGS.
49. KEEP ON QUOTING YOUR FOREFATHERS. KEEP ON QUOTING YOUR GRANDFATHER AND YOUR GRANDMOTHER. BUT YOU WILL BE STUPID TO FEEL COMFORTABLE LIVING IN A MODERN HOUSE WHICH YOUR FOREFATHERS NEVER ENJOYED.
50. WHY NOT GO AND BUY MATRASSES MADE OF GRASS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING? THAT PERSON THAT IS DRAWING BACK THE HAND OF THE CLOCK, YET HE SLEEPS ON A FOAM; DOES HE TELL HIMSELF THE TRUTH? OK, GO AND BUY LOCAL HAND FAN, DO NOT USE THE ELECTRIC FAN. DO NOT CONSTRUCT CABINET BED. GO AND MAKE ONE NICE BAMBOO BED.
51. Go and make bamboo bed. It is of no use entering a vehicle while going home. trek home or go and buy bicycle. I want us to pay strict attention because where we are now is very delicate.
52. I am still holding my Message that both male and female should be given equal opportunities. Male and female should be given equal opportunities.
53. Do not relegate any, for the females may be brighter than the males. Oftentimes, the males give much more troubles than the females.
54. Remember that whatever character, whatever achievement is a product of reasoning, for no man can grow or achieve anything higher than his reasoning ability, which is exactly the major focus of education. To enlighten the brain; re-orientate the brain and shift it away from the primitive way to the modern way.
55. Everything is modernizing on a daily basis, even this education. It has undergone too many reforms and the reforms are endless. It has pleased the Lord to meet the needs of the hour.
56. Right now, emphasis is on agriculture. BACK TO THE LAND. And it is yielding fruits. For never had there been a time it was approached more realistically than now.
57. Foreign partners are now collaborating with our farmers aiming at producing the best rice in the world.
58. In no distant time, if they continue with the tempo, Nigeria will be one of the exporters of rice with the highest quality. Machineries are with us that they are using to make it stone free, chaff free. Polished rice is now here.
59. If you doubt me, buy any, especially Anambra rice. The state has taken control. Even in Lafia. What do you call it. Nasarawa state. Taraba State, and all of them.
60. Almost all the states in the north have their brands of rice, working with Thailand and Indians, and producing the best.
61. Reports reaching Me confirmed that local rice is more expensive in Lagos now than foreign rice. With nineteen thousand naira or seventeen thousand naira, you buy foreign rice in Lagos, but local rice is sold for more than twenty thousand naira. But here we are benefitting a lot.
62. Before government came up with this program, God has already restructured us and pointed us away from foreign rice which we have become conversant with and we have proved that it is much more nourishing than the useless foreign rice. God saw the danger. He saw the troubles ahead of time and then, He restructured us.
63. We are serving a flexible God. Be flexible with God. If clay is not flexible, it can never be beaten to shape.
64. I believe I am making sense! Do not be iron that will pass through heat for you to be shaped. Be like clay so that ordinary cool water can be used on you. Be brittle. Be elastic. You can be easily put to shape. Amen!
65. People are so interested in changing the world and its surface but they are not ready to change themselves.
66. PEOPLE ARE SO INTERESTED IN CHANGING THE WORLD AND ITS SURFACE BUT THEY ARE NOT READY TO CHANGE THEMSELVES.
67. Is there any sense there? No matter how we clamour for changes, the change must begin with you and I.
68. Why do you lay greater emphasis in changing the face of the world?
69. How can the face of the world change when you have decided not to change yourself? You have not changed your vision, which will help you to change your occupation from unprofitable occupation to profitable occupation, for life is not stagnant until you make your own stagnant.
70. We are living in a world of too many variables. How do you stay in one occupation year in year out and it is not providing for your needs?
71. It is because you have vowed a vow that you will never change. Since you said you will not change, your own world can never change; the face of the world around you will remain the same year in-year out.
72. Everyman is living in his own world which he created with his own hands. So the world you created around yourself is the one you will enjoy or endure. Am I making sense?
73. Whatever you are doing, even in the training of your children, you are creating a world around yourself which you will either enjoy or endure,
74. So the type of world you will like to live in is the one you will create around yourself, not the one Buhari will create, and not the one that Goodluck Jonathan created.
75. Why recreating the past when you have no remedy for the present hour?
76. Get enlightened and then reshape the world around you. What we are saying is that you should always bear in mind that it has nothing to do with gender.
77. I am not saying he or her, or she or he, or they. I am using one word. Its either YOU or I.
78. Bro. Romeo are you getting this Message? If you can understand this Message, you will not look beggarly again.
79. You cannot change until your condition challenges you. Until you begin to feel uncomfortable with your condition, you can hardly effect a change.
80. When you are feeling very comfortable with where you are, anybody commanding you to move is wasting his time.
81. You may be antagonistic. It will get to a point where you think that somebody is laughing at you. Nobody is laughing at you. You have made yourself a laughing stalk. When you make yourself a laughing stalk, we will laugh.
82. If I cause amusement here now, everybody will laugh. So if your life is amusing, we will laugh.
83. “Why the amusement?” “Sir, you are the one we are laughing at.” If it is my type of person, I will tell you plainly “My man, stop looking round. You are the one we are laughing at.” If you are annoyed, you change your way of life.
84. Listen to Me very well. If you do not abuse a man to his face, he will never change his way of life. Say it for his own good.
85. At the worst, you can give order, “Let nobody feed him in this house again.” If he is annoyed, let him rent his own house. You can even chase him away from your house.
86. Thank you! This is the type your father understands easily. You flog a child for him to change quickly, but with the mouth you speak sense into an adult for him to make a change because if you keep quiet, it will remain the same all the year round. One day he would decide to be useful to himself.
87. You change yourself. I change myself.
88. Did you hear it? Who is the one talking to us? THE RESURRECTED BODY. Did He exempt himself? No! For He is a man in like passion with us. First, with His own personal challenges which He cannot dodge.
89. You change yourself, I change myself and the whole trouble will stop. God placed the law of diametrical opposition, which states, “Once there is a male, there must be a female. Once there is darkness, there must be light. Once there is life, there must be death.”
90. MARITAL RELATIONSHIP WILL NEVER IMPROVE UNTIL A MAN BEGINS TO APPRECIATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF HIS WIFE.
91. MARITAL RELATIONSHIP WILL NEVER IMPROVE UNTIL A MAN BEGINS TO APPRECIATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF HIS WIFE AND KNOW THAT THEY ARE PARTNERS IN THE SAME BUSINESS.
92. Let me tell you. Gender discrimination is a foolish hypothesis.
93. Very destructive. It is not even a theory;
94. Let me tell you. You know one funny thing about this matter? People that assume it do not have it. They merely arrogate to themselves authorities they do not possess.
95. Before now, women usually tell the story after a fight. But now, the reverse is the case.
96. Turning things upside down. The woman is labouring. The woman is bearing the responsibilities she should not have been bearing, behaving like a widow when the husband is alive. And the man is going about presenting himself as one that is suffering terribly.
97. The man will go about talking nonsense on how he is labouring to feed his family, but none is true. In this case, a woman fights while the man tells the story.
98. You see why the marital relationship will not improve, for the man is not appreciating. Instead, he is bragging about.
99. When was this message handled? Long, long time ago. It may not have a date. It was the first motivational Message I handled in My family alter, followed by another Message “STRIVE TO BE A STAR.” They came out almost at the same time.
100. Let me tell you. Gender discrimination is a foolish hypothesis. It is not even a theory.
101. Not a theory. Who can adopt that theory? Neither is it even a law; No!
102. It is a mere hypothesis put forward by a weak minded fellow in his honest attempt to subject his fellow human being to accept that she is inferior to him. The culture of a people dictates their religions.
103. To be an achiever, you must be a man and a woman of purpose. Purpose is the discovery of what you are living for. Purpose is the key to fulfilment in life.
104. Until purpose is discovered, existence has no meaning. When you hit your purpose, you command attention. After discovering purpose, stay focused on it.
105. The ability to remain undistracted no matter the situation is what focus is all about. Do you desire to be called an “achiever, “then be a man or a woman of determination. —Son of Man.
106. SUCCESS VISIONS, PG.21.

he worst slavery a man will undergo is mental slavery. Academic education has a lot to do with your personality.
2. When you stop travelling and associating with enlightened minds you will begin to diminish.
3. When you stop travelling and associating with enlightened minds you will begin to diminish.
4. You will be mingling with the foolish and be learning their foolish ways. Unreasonable people will be your examples.
5. Unambitious people limit their vision to counting money.
6. Unambitious people limit their vision to counting money.
7. Are you hearing what we are saying? People that are not ambitious have their eyes only on counting money. Even if you ask him to make a change, instead of sitting down to find out exactly the place he will go or the area he will begin to look into, the most important thing is “Where did you see the money? Give me the money first, let us see the money” If he does not see that money he will not rest.
8. Then if you give him the money to hold so that we can see what we can do with the money, the money is gone! He will begin to tell story.
9. Unambitious people have their eyes on counting money. If he does not have money at hand, he will set the whole family ablaze. It is not the money he worked for but he is expecting the money to come from the wife.
10. If God never intervened, many would have placed their wives for sale. FOR SALE! Place gallon on top of their head marked “FOR SALE!”
11. There are some women you place for sale, but nobody will price them. Is it every vehicle placed for sell that people price?
12. And you are here deceiving yourselves. If you like place your wife for sale, nobody will price her a kobo.
13. UNAMBITIOUS PEOPLE LIMIT THEIR VISION TO COUNTING MONEY, BUT AMBITIOUS PEOPLE LIMIT THEIR VISION TO EDUCATION.
14. WHATEVER BUSINESS YOU WANT TO EMBARK ON WITHOUT SOUND EDUCATION IS USELESS.
15. THERE IS AGE PROBLEM IN EVERYTHING BUT NOT IN EDUCATION.
16. If you do not want to study as a man, please encourage your wife.
17. If you do not want to study as a man, please encourage your wife.
18. Encourage your children. Do not discourage them. Do not tell them that it is useless.
19. EVERYTHING CAN FADE, BUT EDUCATION CANNOT FADE. AN UNDEVELOPED HUMAN BEING IS A CURSE.
20. It is purely intellectual for you to be taught that there are works done yester years, and that not every profession meets the need of the hour.
21. Even in the academic section, not every course in the university are learned to meet the challenging needs of a growing nation.
22. EMPHASES ARE BEING LAID ON “ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING.” You do not go to the university intending to come out and start looking for job.
23. This Message has lasted more than ten years. This Message [I remember] has lasted more than ten years. I handled this Message before we recorded the first intake in the university.
24. It was My first motivational Message that spurned them on to higher heights.
25. As at that time God was still emphasizing on entrepreneurship education before government even recognized it. So God is always moving ahead of time.
26. It is already uploaded in the website. It is one of the books they are reading there. Yes!
27. It is purely intellectual for you to be taught that there are works done yester years, and that not every profession meets the need of the hour.
28. How can somebody say he is selling pots made of clay? Even in those days people always say that a man that deals on clay pots, is not a business man? If his leg slips off, the whole pot will break.
29. It is only those that worships idol that can buy clay pots. Somebody that sells broom is better than him because broom is needed everywhere.
30. I am using it as an example for those that want to learn handwork like James Nnaemeka and company, when he is having waist pain. I said that he can not be a watchman in my house because of his age. He will only be sleeping and dreaming.
31. Even in the academic section, not every course in the university are learned to meet the challenging needs of a growing nation. It is true!
32. Emphases are being laid on “entrepreneurship training”. You do not go to the university intending to come out and start looking for job.
33. I am saying that “EMPHASES” are now on “JOB CREATION”.
34. On job creation. Even as at that time, you all heard these things before entering into the University. Why then troubling me every now and then, “Daddy, I am writing application.” Your parents will be coming with their cock and bull stories.
35. Your monthly salary cannot take you for two weeks, before your salary will come you have spent more than your salary.
36. When you finish school, you come out and “CREATE” a job for yourself.
37. When you finish school, you come out and do what? CREATE A JOB FOR YOURSELF. You see why there is every need for us to gather and then talk about how we can create employment for ourselves and stop looking for white collar jobs that are nowhere to be found.
38. And when you perch in a place below your expectation, you have started demeaning yourself. You may say you want to gather experience.
39. Before you know it, you become a permanent snag in a place that cannot protect your future.
40. I know that our students are paying attention. This Message was handled before you got admissions into the universities. So you are out now for us to test your mentalities and your reasoning abilities to know what you will come up with.
41. I want to see a situation where somebody will now come and say, “Daddy, I want to carry out feasibility studies on so, so and so area.” I will give you the go ahead to go and do it. Produce the reports let me go through and know the workability of your findings.
42. When you finish school, you come out and “CREATE” a job for yourself and not to work for anybody, earning salaries monthly. No! Do not earn salaries. Do not earn salaries, yes!
43. Rather, “place” yourself in a place where you will be an “employer” and not an “employee”- BY THE SON OF MAN (RE-EXAMINE YOUR FAITH)
44. This battle never started today. Students! When you were still in the secondary school, didn’t you hear this?
45. Now you have passed out, to tell us what you learnt is not about writing application.
46. Bishop Isaac! Today is your best day so that your hypertension will vanish.
47. God told us why the whites train all their children. It is not to go and sit down in the office and earn salaries. It is to enable them come out with their own innovations, creativities that are likely to move their countries forward.
48. Hence, they are advancing because nobody is thinking on what the country will offer him but they are all bent on knowing or finding out what they will offer to their nation.
49. Any child that does not think on what he will offer to his family is an imbecile. If you are always thinking of what your family will offer you, the money that was spent on your education was wasted.
50. And anybody that is bent on thinking of what the parents will give him at all times or what friends will give him can never be happy all the days if his life and can never cease from complaining, grumbling, murmuring.
51. He is not thinking of what he will offer or his own contribution to the growth of the family. Rather, he is expecting what the family will be giving him continually, so that he will remain a baby or a boy all the days of his life. Every year “Obi is a boy”, “Ada is a girl.” Day by day you will be talking nonsense.
52. This is pure truth. If you have such children, you are barren.
53. This is the only way I can put it. You have a liability and not assets. The essence of training them is to make them assets and not liabilities.
54. Assets are those that think on how and what they will do that can be credited to them as their own physical and spiritual contributions to the growth of not only the family but of the society at large.
55. Americans have as their slogan, “DO NOT THINK OF WHAT AMERICA WILL DO FOR YOU BUT THINK OF WHAT YOU WILL DO FOR AMERICA.” I hope I am making sense.
56. Make your parents proud so that anytime they see you coming they will be filled with joy, and not to cause them hypertension with too much of your stories.
57. I have such brothers in my family. Every time they will be calling Me and disturbing Me. How can a married man be calling Me for the money for the feeding his family, instead of appreciating the one I have done.
58. Instead of repaying Me for what I have already done for them, they are still becoming burdens upon burdens, and becoming another Amankem. He is still a burden. Instead of him to get a house and pack in with his wife and his children, he took his whole family to his father’s house to be a burden to the old man and his wife, when he should be in the position of giving them. Look at him. An animal that is not ashamed of himself. If you are annoyed, make something to happen.
59. Every day, Obi is a boy. I will never take my example from somewhere. John Ekwueme has ran out. After running, he will come back. This is pure truth. If it comes to cases like this, Bro. Chime will put his face down. Christian Dike has disappeared. They know themselves. Obi is a boy. I say, Obi is a boy.
60. That is how they will be fooling themselves about. Look at Brother Chukwuemeka. Since he came out from the prison, he has been up and doing, labouring for himself and the family, with the wife in the Faith.
61. They come to Fellowship from Nnewi. Do they miss fellowship? Do they beg anybody for transport fare? How many children does he have? How much was given to the wife to start up the business? Only but ten thousand.
62. Since then, her business has been moving. She has been struggling. Likewise the husband, amidst all oppositions.
63. It is just like the ones that lost their husbands. We did what we have never done before by supporting them with enough money to start up a business. They used the money for frivolities, only to complain of hunger. Look at Sister Ebele Obosi here.
64. Bishop Isaac, stand up! Sister, stand up! I met this Sister at Owerri during my missionary outing when she was wearing black upon black.
65. She lost her husband prematurely at a tender age. She was going to the North, to buy tomatoes, pepper and garden eggs, climbing 911. When I looked at this Sister, I said, “No! Instead of this Sister to go and lose her life on the high way, leaving the children behind, I inquired where she came from, and she said she is from Obosi.”
66. I said, “Why not come down to Obosi where you will not pay rent so that you will be fellowshipping at Onitsha.” I told her we will look for another business for her. This Sister came down to Obosi. Nobody assisted her with transport fare, with the whole children.
67. She started doing one business or the other until she started selling cow meat. Now she sales cow meat in bulk.
68. Sit down Sister! She has contributed more than men to the growth of this Faith by personal revelation. I have never for one day written her a letter saying this and that. No, no, no, no! She is even helping many families.
69. The foolish woman we married from Ngwa [Apostle Kelechi’s wife] attached herself to her.
70. I was happy thinking that she will learn her industrious nature, but she came back and folded her arms in-between her legs, doing nothing. I discerned it and saw nothing but Ngwa spirit.
71. Why is it that somebody that was industrious when she was unmarried, had her own business, her own money and her boxes of clothes, the moment she marries everything will stop? This means she was doing all those things to attract a Brother to herself.
72. The moment she attracts a brother, no more. She has become a madam. Continue to be a madam and die of hunger.
73. I saw another spirit which is not the spirit of the Faith. We are one. We are one! The spirit I am seeing is the spirit of saying, “I do not have any child. Why should I bother myself?”
74. I stand to be challenged if I am wrong, I stand to be challenged. “Why should I bother myself. I do not have any child? Is it for me to turn to be a baby seater for them.” Saying all sorts of things that should not be mentioned.
75. A dangerous spirit! It is not a spirit of love. The spirit of love promotes the family. After all, whether you marry two or three, is it not to have children for the continuity of the family?
76. Any woman that has love for the family she is married to, will like the man to have children that will succeed him so that the family will continue. That was why Sarah gave her maid to Abraham for the continuity of the family. Do you think I am mad?
77. Somebody has to say this truth. What is happening to you people? Plus their dumb dogs they married. Because they are not prepared to change, they lined behind each other.
78. Look at the one Bro. Amankem married, this Sister was loading My phone. Who does not know this Sister at Aba? Sister Sandra is very industrious. Even, a good number of Brethren from Aba were borrowing money from her, including Pastor Moses. Look at her there.
79. Sister Sandra is very industrious, but the moment she got married to Amankem, she stopped work at Aba, came down to Onitsha and became a madam. Work stopped.
80. HOW CAN YOUR WORLD CHANGE WHEN YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO CHANGE? CHANGE YOURSELF AND CHANGE YOUR WORLD.
81. YOUR WORLD WILL REMAIN THE SAME AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO EFFECT A POSITIVE CHANGE AND NOT BY MERELY TALKING OR ORATORY. TALKING CANNOT IMPROVE YOUR LOT, BUT ACTION WILL.
82. But why am I labouring? Why am I talking? If you prosper tomorrow, what is My gain? Am I telling you to be a human being for you to come tomorrow and train My children for Me? Or to come and feed Me or what? What will you do for Me?
83. It is because I love you and I want you to make paradise, for you can never enter paradise in anger. Nobody can make paradise in anger.
84. When you are poor, you are discomforted. When you are not meeting your needs you are discomforted. If the failure is traceable to you, why not effect a change? I do not want to see a professional beggar emanating from this Faith.
85. This is the bane of all denominations starting from Roman Catholic down to the least Pentecostals. They have produced professional beggars. Those that accost their members at the entrance.
86. The moment you pass, they will follow you behind and the next thing you will hear is, “God bless you sir. Sir, there is something I will like to discuss with you.” If you dare wear a good cloth to church, you are in trouble.
87. One was telling us at Nsugbe that there is one big man in their church. What he does to run away from problem is that any time he comes with his Jeep, he will give out his vehicle key to someone else to drive out his vehicle to the main road to enable him sneak away from Professional beggars in the church. All of them wearing suits.
88. Wearing suits and looking good in appearance, but they feel they make much more money in begging than in working.
89. Whoever that supports such a man is as mad as that person. HE THAT HAS REFUSED TO WORK, LET HIM NOT EAT.
90. IF YOU WORK HARD, YOU ENJOY LIFE. Does a hungry man sleep? If you keep quiet, your life will be quiet.
91. If I do not stand bold and strong to assert this truth, I am seeing a situation where many will frustrate the move of the Holy Spirit here by grumbling against their fellow Brethren and judging them of their stinginess.
92. Did you give him any money to hold for you?
93. There are some never-do-wells. Where is Echezona? Is he still in this Faith? Very good! I hope you are hearing Me there? After much drinking, you fall inside water. If you come out, you say you staggered into the gutter.
94. Nobody knows when you fell inside the gutter out of the influence of alcohol and when you staggered into the gutter. If you love him talk to him. He is ageing every day. Amen.
