THE BOOK OF PROPHECIES (REVELATION) FULFILLING VOL. 2 Preached on 21ST AUGUST 2011 At THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA BY THE RESURRECTED BODY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA (THE SON OF MAN) “Truth has no substitute” at BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLD-WIDE
I am The Tree of Life, The True Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, The Reality, The Great Christ, The Prince Of Peace. Believe it if you can…
—The Son of Man From the Message: YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE PROPHETS, PP 3.
Worshipping God where there is no Prophet, no Apostle is the greatest risk-taking. Where there is no Apostle, you will never know the fulfilment of any Scripture. You will only be holding expired Scriptures,
but the moment an Apostle appears on the scene, He will tell you that this Scripture has fulfilled today.
This is because an Apostle is one standing in place of Christ. He is one filling the office of Christ here on Earth.
–The Son of Man.
(YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE PROPHETS, VOL 1. PP 132, VERSES 10-11)
1
THE LAST PENTECOST IS IN AFRICA
Remain blessed brethren. As a result of some developments around us, it has become imperative to revisit some of the teachings we received from time to time.
2. Watch the PROPHETIC STATEMENTS OF THEP PROPHET WILLIAM MARION BRANHAM AND WHAT THE MESSAGE TITLED “THE RESURRECTED BODY” SAID CONCERNING THE MATTER; we saw that Go `d has decided to bring all those prophecies to pass before our very eyes.
3. Many, many years ago, about the year 1996, God made us to understand that there must be a WORLDWIDE CENSUS going on among the Roman Catholics and the Message said that they would soon conclude the census. As at that time, it has never came down to Onitsha or Africa in general.
4. You know Africa is always last, when you are talking about REDEMPTION, Africa is always last. If you should talk about Pentecost, this is the last Pentecost and it is taking place in Africa.
5. As many that are with us from the very beginning, remember God made it clear to us that it is time for Africa to produce their own saint; that other continents have been privileged to have their own Pentecost. You can remember vividly what I told you and even the Scriptures backed it up that the home of Islam today, the headquarters of Islamic world today, that is, Saudi Arabia was privileged to have their Pentecost in AD 70.
6. Immediately Saul of Tarsus was converted to bear Christ’s Name, he was sent to no other place than Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, he was in Saudi Arabia for fourteen good years after which he came back to Jerusalem. In other words, Saudi Arabia had their Pentecost in AD 70 which lasted for fourteen (14) years and the entire Asia Minor were privileged to have their Pentecost then.
7. Moreover, there were some other messengers that were sent after Paul and they ministered to their various continents and countries.
8. William Branham saw Africa, visibly South Africa, just for a crusade, he called it “HEALING CRUSADE;” where he caused Florence Nightingale to recover from her sickness.
9. Another country that was privileged to receive him, but he did nothing there was Ghana. He did nothing there and the Lord recalled him. However, when he was officially sent to Africa, he said no and ran to India. God went to India, met him and said, “Go back to Africa. It must be Africa”
10. What is more, IT WAS THERE THAT HE SAW THE LITTLE BLACK SHEEP (the Elohim on two feet) LYING IN ONE OF THE JUNGLES IN AFRICA, AND SAID, “IT MUST BE AFRICA LAST; for the last Pentecost must be in Africa, thus saith the Lord of hosts.”
11. If this Pentecost we have been enjoying, note, it is Pentecost because the Messenger from Heaven (not an Earthly messenger like the Seven Church Ages Messengers) is on the scene in Africa. Finish.
12. Well, let me say that there was nothing strange that took place. God took off from Africa, his homeland and finally returned back to His own which is Africa, REVEALING HIMSELF AS A BLACK MAN (seen as a black sheep by the Prophet). No more, no less.
13. The census that is still on among the Roman Catholics is a prophetic phenomenon, it is not taking us by surprise. Even the people that are being used in the census do not know the reason behind it. What the Church or the super Church will use this census for, they do not know.
14. He that prophesied about the census told us what the census is all about, and what to expect after the census. He told us why we should not in any way be a part of that census. The same thing happened in my shop before many witnesses.
15. We were there with one of my uncles you know very well, a Deacon from the Assemblies of God who used to visit us. He was with Me in my shop the same day when we were talking about my own people at home, notably, Brother Mike’s own village.
16. I told him that people there are mostly strangers and that is why they are called “Umummee,” but the real name is “Nmachalu.”
17. That is why we have indigenes of that place, all those people that are regarded as strangers are also natives of our town. They migrated from their villages because of one thing or the other and settled on the main road. That is why they have no land and they are congested.
18. They said that they do not want to answer Umummee again, they said they should be called Umu Mary (Mary’s children). They made the proclamation public.
19. You see, this man ran mad as he said, “For what? Why should they be called Umu Mary? If they are called Umu Mary, what of us? Are we not sons and daughters of Mary?”
20. I looked at our brethren and we laughed. He said, “No, Sunday, this is not a laughing matter. If they are called Umu Mary, where do we belong to?”
21. Can you notice what is taking place? They are the daughters of the great woman, note, the Bible called that woman the “great whore.” No matter how you look at the Moabite, they are the descendants of Lot. They have no inheritance in God.
22. They are relations of Abraham according to the flesh, that is they could benefit from Abraham according to the flesh. However, talk of this eternal life, Moabites have no part in it. There is no covenant between God and the Moabites. Yet they worship the same God with the people of Israel in the same way.
23. Moabites are not pagans, they worship Jehovah, they know how to place the altar, they have prophets that could speak and it will come to pass yet they have no covenant with God. For God vowed a vow that no Moabite will ever step into His rest till eternity. Though the righteousness of the Moabites could touched the sky, it will end there.
24. Who are the Moabites of today? Of course you know them; they are the End Timers. They know everything about the prophets, they know about the “Mark of The Beast,” they are not a part of the World Council of Churches (WCC), yet they are marked outside the Promise. You see why you must be careful!
25. THE PROBLEM IS NOT GATHERING (FELLOWSHIPNG); THE PROBLEM LIES IN GATHERING WHERE THE LORD HAS CHOSEN TO PLACE HIS NAME. THIS IS WHAT WILL DETERMINE THE MARK YOU WILL TAKE, BECAUSE UNTO THE LORD ALONE SHALL THE GATHERING OF HIS PEOPLE BE.
26. All that have covenant with God never worshiped outside the place where the glory of God came down and God spoke. Because of that Oman Valley, all the Jews are ready to die to make sure that Jerusalem is never removed. For that place is where the glory of God came down.
27. To immortalise it, God encouraged the Temple to be built there. It is referred to AS A PLACE OF RESORT TO THE CHILDREN OF GOD WORLD OVER. We are talking about the physical Jews.
28. Now that the census has reached your own town properly, and it is going on till now, you may not know when they will conclude it, it is necessary we touch on some of the few things we know from the very beginning in the interest of our children and those that met us along the way.
29. They think they are taking us by surprise, they do not know that long, long time ago the Lord has revealed it to us. As at the time the Prophet saw the World Council Of Churches (WCC), they have not even come into existence. The World Council of Churches was established alongside the United Nations (UN) In 1948. Immediately it was established, it became an arm of the United Nations (UN). In other words, the Church and the State have become one.
30. In Nigeria, you do not need a prophet to tell you that; even events that are unfolding daily point to it.
31. In the management of industrial dispute in Nigeria, whenever there is any strike in any state, notice one prominent thing that takes place there: The key players in the negotiations or dispute discussions must surely involve clergymen, some market women and traditional rulers.
32. In other words, government invariably has co-opted these organs in the name of peace and conflict resolution. It appears that workers listen to them more than the authorised agencies of the Federal Government.
33. I read the memorandum of agreements drawn between Anambra State government and its workers which made them to call off the so-called industrial action. Note, immediately they called for the meeting, they included the clergymen, the traditional rulers, the market association and some other prominent personalities.
34. The Government representatives are very little. We know what the SYSTEM is all about: separated by name and united in the system.
35. Because of what my children heard about this matter, fear gripped them they ran to the Messages. My last son has almost finished both the HARD TRUTH and BEHOLD THE MAN OF SIN due to fear. I thank God for it.
36. The Message titled “Cry Out Against the System” is an old Message, the first publication we rolled out from this Bridal Faith, and we distributed it about in the year 1994—our first publication.
37. I remember I handled a Message titled “This Church Is Set for a Sign That Must Be Spoken against in This Generation.” Thus, if anybody spoke against this Church, it is not a surprise; it has already been in prophecy. If you are hated or rejected by this generation, there is no other thing that is happening other than what we were told about.
38. Many of you that are enjoying this Faith, were not in the Faith when this Message was rolled out. Many have not even gone through it, while majority were in their mothers’ womb, some were minors.
CRY OUT AGAINST THE SYSTEM
39. “Cry Out Against The System,” “But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
40. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.” KJV. (Isaiah 28: 7-8).
41. Isaiah the Prophet of God cried out against the evil systems of various men, nations, kingdoms and synagogues in his day; in the same manner every true God-called man or Church must raise his/their voice against every falsehood in their day, although it might cost them their lives.
42. Righteous and holy men of God are as bold as a lion whenever they see, discern or notice any perversion, impersonation, or deception from the Devil on the land against the people of God and against the Holy Word of God.
43. “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1, KJV).
44. The Lord Jesus Christ who is the author and finisher of the Christian Faith was always bold to tell the truth about everything in His day.
45. In Matthew chapter 23, we read clearly how Jesus the Christ boldly spoke against the hypocrisy of the Scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, Lawyers, e.tc. He called everything by its name to the extent that His hearers spoke concerning him.
46. “But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?” (John 7:26, KJV).
47. Jesus the Christ never compromised like our preachers of today. Rather He boldly declared the entire truth of God’s Holy Word, and so were the rest of the Prophets, Apostles and other holy men and women of God.
48. Elijah the prophet cried out against the apostasy in Israel, and against Ahab’s wicked rule and idolatry, influenced by his unrepentant wife called Jezebel, according to the Scriptures: “But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
49. And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.” (1 Kings 21: 25-26, KJV).
50. Concerning Ahab and his wife Jezebel, Elijah boldly cried out against the evil ways as revealed to him by God:
51. “And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
52. Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
53. And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
54. “…And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
55. Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.”. (1 Kings 21: 17-19, 23-24, KJV).
56. Elijah neither feared nor flattered Ahab and Jezebel, who were the king and queen of the nation of Israel as at that time. Elijah boldly declared the truth regardless of what will happen.
57. Micaiah was another Prophet who stood as a man alone in God’s hand and boldly cried out against Ahab and his false prophets. These false prophets like so many preachers of today, flattered Ahab with prosperity message, declaring that he will win his battle against his enemy despite the fact that God’s Word was against his going to war against that city.
58. These false prophets with their “prosperity Message” wanted even the true Prophet Micaiah to compromise with them and preach falsehood.
59. “And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king’s hand.
60. And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spoke unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
61. And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.”
62. In other words, compromise with us and preach prosperity message to the king and his people. And Micaiah said: “And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
63. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?” (1 Kings 22: 12-14, 17-18, KJV).
64. So many people today are like King Ahab, longing only to hear “good message of prosperity” and hating to hear that “the wages of sin is death” for their disobedience.
65. God has allowed false deceiving and deceived preachers who are like the false prophets of Ahab to mount the pulpits to preach only “Miracle and prosperity” to them in order for such people to end up in Hell without repentance. Yet God has preachers of truth like Micaiah of old, who will not join the majority to propagate false hope and false doctrine to the people.
66. Such preachers will be hated as Ahab hated Micaiah and even put him in prison for not joining the rest of the ecumenical preachers to say the approved message by the religious headquarters of false prophets with “prosperity message”.
67. We read another character in the Bible, John the Baptist by name, who boldly declared the truth from God’s Word to the people of his days. Although he was aware of the danger of preaching the entire truth and the threat on his life for boldly speaking the truth without deceiving anyone’s ear or giving any one a false hope in respect of the Kingdom of God.
68. Yet he maintained his ground and cried out against the adulterous life of King Herod who snatched the wife of his brother Philip, Herodias by name, merely because he was richer. John the Baptist never minded King Herod’s wealth or social status; rather he boldly condemned the king for breaking the Law of God on “Marriage and Divorce” without fear and flattery.
69. “But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
70. Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.” (Luke 3: 19-20, KJV).
71. “For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
72. For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
73. And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.” (Matthew 14: 3-4, 10. KJV).
74. John indeed died but he died a saint and for the truth of God’s Word.
75. Peter the Apostle of Jesus Christ upheld the truth of God’s Word boldly before the council that threatened to kill them should they continue to preach the truth out of the Scriptures concerning Jesus Christ.
76. “And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
77. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
78. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4: 18-20, KJV).
79. When the council had released the Apostles after much threatening, floggings, and mockery, these servants of God never compromised but rather yearned for more boldness that they may speak Thy Word.
80. “And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word.” Acts 4: 29, KJV.
81. It does not take much education or wealth to boldly stand for God as did Isaiah or any of the Prophets and Apostles of old. What it takes is only to be with Christ, the Holy Word of God, and understand what He loves and what He hates bearing in mind that whatever He spoke is irrevocable Holy Word of God, as it is written: “Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” (Psalms 119: 89, KJV).
82. Peter and the rest of God’s true servants never acquired any Bible college qualification, only that they had been with Christ, the Word of God, and possessed His doctrine, His life and became like Him.
83. “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4: 13, KJV).
84. We can as well display such boldness today by being actually with Christ, which is the Word of God. (John 1: 14).
85. Any man or Church who meets Christ today will as well speak boldly like Micaiah and the rest of the true preachers of righteousness without speaking the popularly accepted doctrine from the people’s prophets for the people Church.
86. Regrettably, preachers of today who are quite aware of the evil lives among the Churches, nations, presidents, governors, ministers, kings, traditional rulers, have sold their birthrights only to propagate “good prosperity message” like the false prophets of Ahab, to the people of our day that need to be reproved of their various sins against God and His Word.
87. These compromising preachers shy away from declaring the whole counsel of God like St. Paul who said, “For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God” (Acts 20: 27, KJV).
88. St. Paul knew the danger of deceiving the ears of his audience so he unavoidably and boldly told them the entire gospel truth as he said, “Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
89. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.” (Acts 20: 26-27, KJV).
90. However, the social preachers of today with their social “none offensive, none provoking and unity and love” message continue to deceive the ears of the people in order to RETAIN THEIR MEAL TICKET. Amen.

NO ONE IS GOD’S COUNSELLOR
THE SYSTEM TODAY, the system is defined as a way of organizing something according to certain ideas, principles etc.; it is also a planned method. There is Devil’s system of doing things and there is God’s system of doing things and both systems are expressed through human beings.
2. Whenever man operates through God’s system, it must agree with God’s Word. However, any time man is influenced by the Devil to operate Devilish system, it will disagree with the Holy Word of God.
3. Bear in mind that a system is a way of organizing something according to ideas and principles. God has His own ideas and principles, the Devil equally has his own also, and both differ from human ideas. God spoke concerning His ideas and principles thus in Isaiah 55 verse 8-9 saying, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
4. For as the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” KJV.
5. Various ideas and principles emanate from one’s manner of thought and ways. God’s ways and thoughts are perfect and whatever He does must be perfect. As Devil’s thoughts and ways are perverted, in the same manner all his ideas and principles remain perverted.
6. From the above quoted Scripture from Isaiah, one can see that man’s ways and thoughts in organizing anything without the influence of God and His Holy Word MUST DIFFER both in principles and ideas from God’s (that of God) as the Scriptures further says, “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
7. FOR WHO HATH KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD? OR WHO HATH BEEN HIS COUNSELOR?” Romans (11: 33-34, KJV).
8. No one is God’s counsellor. The Word of God remains what God said it should be. No one can query God’s ideas, principles. Besides, the system of God remains the absolute and every Devilish system through human beings must be resisted and cried against.
9. Unfortunately, blind and foolish deceived men of the world today believe that they can counsel or correct God and for that reason they insist on the correction of the Holy Bible, the Word of God, in other to establish their own Devilish-influenced human ideas and principles, a system that will encourage them in their evil lusts to rebel against the Word of God.
10. Such people must either repent or perish for God sees things from His own perspective and not from man’s ideas, principles or ways.
11. Man in his wickedness right from Genesis 3, has always rebelled and rejected God and His systems only to have his human way. This hatred FOR God’s Word has also caused man to hate anyone who loves to stand for God as we can see in the case of Cain and Abel.
12. Cain slew Abel in Genesis 4, only because God identified Himself with Abel who did His will through revelation of God’s Word. Yet, in this twentieth century this clash between the people of God and Devil has continued.
13. Adolf Hitler of Germany for instance hated the God of the Jews and subsequently he hated the Jews as a people of God in the natural. Such hatred prompted Hitler to execute genocide against the Jews with the use of “Gas chambers” to annihilate about six million Jews.
14. In his human idea, Hitler thought he could put to an end to a nation who God promised will re-gather in their homeland of Israel in the last days.
THE BEAST AND HIS MARK
15. From the beginning Satan has ever remained a cunning, subtle, and deceptive being and so are his ministers. When Satan deceived Eve, that is Adam’s bride, he claimed to have believed what God has commanded in His Holy Word, yet the cunning Devil never failed to add his own sinful ideas and principles to the original Commandment of God:
16. “Now the Serpent was more subtle (SOCIAL, SMART, CLEVER, CUNNING) than any beast of the field which the Lord God has made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
17. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
18. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
19. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
20. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil..” (Genesis 3: 1-5, KJV).
21. One can easily notice how Satan easily deceived Eve, a type of the Church of God in the beginning. THE DEVIL NEVER CAME AS A STARK UNBELIEVER, RATHER HE ACCEPTED THAT WHAT EVE (THE CHURCH) QUOTED WAS FROM GOD BUT IN HIS SMARTNESS, HE QUESTIONED THE WORD AND THE AUTHORITY OF THE WORD, ONLY TO INTRODUCE HIS OWN SYSTEM.
22. He confirmed that the Bible is true but decided to get rid of some Scriptures like Second Corinthians 6: 14, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” KJV.
23. HE (SATAN) CONFIRMED THAT IT IS THE WORD OF GOD BUT TURNED AROUND TO SAY “WELL, THERE MUST BE UNITY AND TOGETHERNESS WITH ALL RELIGIONS.”
24. NOTE, SATAN AND HIS MINISTERS ARE ALWAYS CLEVER, CUNNING, SOCIAL, AND SMART. HE FIRST OF ALL ACCEPT TO IDENTIFY WITH THE WORD OF GOD, THEN AFTER CREEPING IN—BY MAKING ONE TO BELIEVE THAT HE’S A BELIEVER—THEN HE WILL CUNNINGLY TWIST THE WORD OUT OF MEANING TO SUIT HIS CATECHISMS, CREEDS, AND DOGMAS, SAYING THAT GOD NEVER MEANT WHAT HE SPOKE AND THROUGH THIS SMART MEANS, he deceived whosoever that has not the revelation of the Word of God.
25. The Scriptures say in the book of John 7: 49, “But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.”
26. God’s Word is a law and instruction to everyone and therefore no man should give any excuse that he or she was deceived as a result of ignorance of the Scripture.
27. So many people today in the denominational world have been deceived through Satan ministers to identify themselves ignorantly with the Beast and the “image of the beast,” thereby receiving the “mark of the beast” because the social, cunning, clever and smart-flattering preachers HATCHED OUT OF BIBLE COLLEGE INCUBATORS have deceived them to join the System contrary to the Word of God.
28. God does not condemn any one without first of all warning him or her. In addition, by this Message one will either be part of the Body of Christ or part of the human system of the “mark of the beast.”
29. THIS IS A MESSAGE OF WARNING FOR ONE TO ESCAPE THE IMPENDING DANGER OF JUDGMENT AND CONDEMNATION. One must take side either with the entire Word of God or manmade system of the denominations.
30. One must know what the “mark of the beast” (666) means, otherwise he or she might be in it already, ignorantly kindling the System to power.
31. The truth about this must be known or else one could be cursed for it is written: “But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.”
32. The mark of the beast is written in the Scripture or the Law of God, one must know what the Word of God says concerning the mark of the beast in other to escape the wrath of God.
33. The Lord God always make a way for His people to escape to safety in the face of any temptation unless such a person hardens his heart through unbelief and then he perishes.
34. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
35. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.” (1 Corinthians 10: 13-14, KJV).
THE WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST AND HIS MARK
36. “Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.” (Isaiah 54: 15, KJV).
37. “Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
38. Take counsel together and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
39. For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
40. Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
41. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.” (Isaiah 8: 9-13, KJV).
42. The Bible clearly reveals that there will be an end time unification of denominations into a confederacy. This confederacy is contrary to God’s will because it is only achieved by compromise, hypocrisy, and insincerity.
43. The Bible asked a question in the book of Amos chapter 3 verse 3: “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”
44. The answer is definitely no. Nevertheless, today it is commonly read from our newspaper how the Protestant, Pentecostal, and the Roman Catholic Churches are uniting in so-called ecumenism (togetherness) and they are moving further to obtain government legal backing for this ungodly programme.
45. The book of Revelation 13 :11-18, “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the Earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
46. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the Earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the Earth in the sight of men,
47. And deceiveth them that dwell on the Earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the Earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
48. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
49. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
50. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. KJV.
AMERICA IN PROPHECY WITH REGARDS TO THE WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES
51. Every true Bible reader knows that America is the second beast of Revelation 13: 7. She is depicted as a Lamb with two horns which came out from the Earth. She did not come out through water (multitude of people) like the first beast of Rome but she came out of the Earth where there is no multitude; that is why she is called the “New world” (America) will possess.
52. We know that the strength of many beast depend on their horn. America came up a humble nation as a lamb, displaying two great might: first, her POLITICAL POWER and secondly, her ECCLESIASTICAL MIGHT.
53. Those horns of the second beast represent a political power and religion or ecclesiastical power of America.
54. Remember, the nation was born when the protesting founding fathers fled into the land which was originally occupied by few Red Indians, and before the entire world could know it, America has become world power in politics displaying “great wonders”: “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” Revelation 13:13, KJV.
55. The ability of America to be among the first nations to send rocket to the sky, and other spaceships, accounted for her enviable position in the world politics and raised her to the position of: THE POLICEMAN OF THE WORLD because of her atomic bomb, mass destructive weapons and her great scientific exploits, these were the America wonders, as the Bible rightly called it: GREAT WONDERS.
56. However, the Bible prophecy has it that America will not only exercise political, but she will also display great religious power in this end time by devising a system that will cause the entire world to compromise and go back to Rome.
57. From revelation 13 verse 14-15, we noticed, “And America’ deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
58. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” KJV.
59. An image is a copy of the shape of a person or thing, a close likeness of something. The Bible revealed that there shall arise an image of the beast in this end time to be worshiped by all (men and women) on the Earth who are not members of the Body of Christ, revelation 13: 8 “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
60. The beast has an image that reflects her, an image or copy, or body that can speak authoritatively as the Roman Catholic beast or power on her behalf, and the image will usher the Beast of Rome into power again, enthroning the Roman Catholic Church which presently represents the Beast of Rome that started from the Caesars, whose universal powers almost faded away but were revived and restored by the popes. Amen

EVENTS ARE MADE CLEAR BY PROPHECY
If you do not have the book titled “Cry Out Against the System,” be patient with Me. We circulated this “Cry out against the System” worldwide. We were even privileged to send six copies to the pope through his representatives in Nigeria.
2. That was why after looking through it, they reported that there should be a conference of all the Reverend Fathers, in order to review the content.
3. What is more, there was one that attracted their attention most, that one is: RESTORING THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH. That is where I took time to expose everything within my power; within my armoury as far as Roman Catholic is concerned.
4. That is why if you say you are a Catholic, I more. “Restoring the New Testament Church,” apart from that, from that prophecy also you see another topic: “The One World Church.”
5. Please, all we are trying to show you is the gathering of the end time. Three of them are on right now: ONE, you will see the gathering of the Churches under the World Council of Churches (WCC); TWO, you will see the gathering of the people that do not go to Church at all; THREE, you will also see the gathering of the Bride—these are the three gatherings that are on right now.
6. Anybody outside the Bride is not worshiping the true God. If you are privileged to have a copy of the holy Quran, chapter 3 verses 84-87 it stated very clearly that anybody outside the Islamic Faith is a pagan.
7. Thus, to them we are pagans. In these last days, through the World Council of Churches, a movement has been recognised into an organization and Nigeria equally adopted it because the United Nations (UN) included it in their recent convention; that is, under the UN convention which Nigeria adopted during the reign of Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida.
8. Immediately Nigeria adopted it, she was enlisted into the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC)—an association of Islamic states promoting Muslim solidarity in economic, social, and political affairs.
9. Now, that which has become an organization has become an affiliate member of the World Council of Churches. What is the name? The name is CHRISLAM! CHRISLAM is the recognised body. This means Christian and Muslims are now faith mates, soul mates and work mates—“come we are one.” Its office is opposite Christian Association of Nigeria building.
10. If you go to Abuja, you will see the Christian Association building opposite the Islamic Organisation building. Thus, by the recognition of that association, it now becomes a law that in any gathering of Nigeria, drawn from different states, different religious believes, the rule is that a Muslim will pray, and a Christian will also pray: “Stand up let us pray, let a reverend, a Christian come out. Let a true Muslim come out and pray for us.”
11. What will happen? A Muslim will pray, a Christian will equally pray; this is the order. Even in all government offices, anywhere for the two are now one.
12. When are they united? That was the time the pope himself, I mean the predecessor of Pope Benedict, that is, Pope John Paul the second administered Holy Communion to Muslim priests in many countries uniting them and that was the day he also administered communion to Oral Robert and Billy Graham; and ordained them archbishop publicly.
13. The whole newspapers carried the whole news. By so doing the Muslims and the Christians have become one. You can now regard them as “our Christian brotherhood,” “our Muslim brothers”—no difference.
14. Whether you call it OIC, you call it CAN or whatever you may call it, they are all affiliate members of the World Council of Churches under the supervision of the United Nations.
15. Whether Nigeria is a Muslim state is not a controversial fact anymore; every Tom, Dick, and Harry know it to be true that Nigeria belongs to the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC).
16. Whether to the right or to the left, somebody is marked, somebody ignorantly has rolled himself into a system he cannot wriggle out, ignorantly. Their mother, the mother of all the harlots has emptied all her daughters into a System they cannot wriggle out again from.
17. Thus, brethren be serious now. We can see the whole thing is here with us, there is no need running away. You had better develop enough courage to bear what is about to unfold.
18. If not for space and time I would have showed you some of the events that followed after that type of census is taken in time past; that I took my time to document, quoting authorities, all that I collected in those days, when we are still on our research in the priesthood—both the common laws and sacred letters, I preserved all.
19. Because of the relevance of the information to my children in the future, I never knew I could be in this type of ministry. I now believe it was God that inspired Me to keep them.
20. At the right time, God used the information to pull you and I out of that System. Truly speaking, it will take God to severe somebody from this type of thing; something your eyes cannot see, you cannot perceive it, you cannot imagine it, even if you hear about it you will not know what it is all about.
21. Can you begin to see why the first world was destroyed, for not a single soul was saved outside Noah’s family. Innocent or guilty God destroyed. The children unborn, were they not innocent? Those children that were in their mothers’ wombs, were they not innocent? What of the new born babies that were breast feeding—minors, infants, were they not innocent? Did God spare them? He wiped them all, labelled all of them wicked. You talk of Sodom and Gomorrah, it is the same thing.
22. Can you see, if not for God, your parents have already enrolled you into something you will never wriggle out from, ignorantly. In turn also, without God, you that are in this most holy Faith, would have rolled your own children into it thinking you are doing God a service, calling those holding the truth heretics, blaspheming them, calling them all manners of evil names thinking you are right because what you are doing is approved by the society. What you are doing is praise-worthy in the society.
23. You see why God said that if the world will accept you, He must surely reject you. If you are a friend of the world, you must be an enemy of Christ.
24. If you watch people that are talking evil against us, against this Faith, they are doing it to curry favour of the people; they do not know the implication. They do not know that by taking side with those people, joining them to talk evil of the children of God, that they are already marked. This matter goes beyond going to Church, you may not go to Church, yet you have taken the mark.
25. Let me tell you, this man we are talking about in the beginning, a Deacon in the Assemblies of God introduced himself as a Catholic. He said, “Look at me I am a born Catholic, but I decided to go to Assemblies of God for I do not believe what Catholics are teaching. What am I doing? I am drinking my beer here,” because I gave him a bottle of stout and he was drinking stout proudly.
26. Although he has been a Deacon in Assemblies of God for over forty years now, he knows that he is a born Catholic. Do you know why? Catholic believed that all of you belong to them. That they baptised you in the water of God in the Catholic, you were confirmed in the Catholic, for that reason anywhere you like go. If Deeper Life Church did not capture you, Grace of God will capture you. If Odoziobodo did not capture you, Sabbath will capture you. There must be a place you will run to. If you say you are not going to wait for anyone of them, it is better.
27. Watch all the native doctors in your community, they stay at home and still claim membership of their Churches. They do not go to Church, in their native doctor practices and everything they are doing; they still believe that they are bonafide members of that Church. If they die, all it takes the reverend father to come and bury them is to go there and clear all the dues.
28. They will come and officiate, they will bury you, “He is our member, and we cannot forfeit him.” Instead of forfeiting him, they will reduce the dues.
29. Yes, such a thing happened recently in our hometown. The man that died stopped going to Church for many, many years. The day he died, the children went to that Church, the reverend father told them to come and clear the debt they owe, and they paid the arrears. The man and the people came and buried the man according to their belief.
30. THEREFORE, THIS MATTER WE ARE DISCUSSING GOES BEYOND GOING TO CHURCH; IT IS A SPIRITUAL MATTER WHICH YOU CAN EVEN STAY IN YOUR KITCHEN AND RECEIVE.
31. You cannot see it on your forehead or hand. Do not worry, I have spoken on the forehead and shoulder, I have spoken on that. These are figures, he used the forehead and the shoulder figuratively.
32. AT THE SAME TIME THIS MARK IS GOING ON, CHRIST IS ALSO MARKING HIS PEOPLE. TWO IDENTIFICATION MARK GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME. YOU ARE NOT HIDDEN, THEY KNOW YOU. BE VERY CAREFUL THAT YOU WILL NOT SUFFER IN VAIN. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE IN THIS FAITH AND YOU HAVE NOT IN ANY WAY TAKEN THIS FAITH SERIOUSLY, YOU ARE RISKING YOUR LIFE.
33. IF YOU ARE IN THIS FAITH IN HYPOCRISY, OR YOU ARE IN THIS FAITH TO SPY INTO THE SECRETS OF WHAT WE ARE, YOU ARE RISKING YOUR LIFE. ONE, YOU WILL NOT ENJOY THE WORLD. TWO, YOU WILL NOT ENJOY ETERNITY BECAUSE YOU ARE MARKED. ANYBODY THAT IS SAVED IN THIS GENERATION SHOULD REJOICE, AND GIVE GOD THE GLORY.
34. BEGIN TO WONDER HOW YOU MANAGED TO COME OUT, TO ESCAPE. SOME OF YOU THAT CAME OUT CAN HARDLY SAY HOW YOU MANAGED TO COME OUT. IT COULD BE THROUGH BUSINESS CONTACT, IT COULD BE THROUGH MARRIAGE CONTACT, IT COULD BE ANYTHING.
35. It is just like one of our brothers who of all people carried Me in his Okada, and as we journeyed along; he started asking me very intelligent questions that have been puzzling him.
36. Then I retorted by asking him a question, While should you ask me that type of question? Do I look like a Church man? What if I do not go to Church? I do not know what you are talking; I do not read the Bible,” that is what I told him.
37. He said, “Sir do not be offended I am being led to ask you.” I said, “Okay no problem. If it is something you must ask, it must be somebody you know, you have not seen me before, you simply carried Me.”
38. There was no discussion on the motorcycle until we got to GMT; we entered the road and he asked another question. I did not answer the question until I got to my house, then I asked him to stop and opened my mouth to answer his questions.
39. We were there for over forty minutes. Finally, I called my son upstairs, told him the books he should bring to me, he brought down the books and I gave them to him, asked him to go saying, “Do not come to my house until you have finished reading the books. Look at where we worship, do not ever come there until you have finished the books.” He obeyed. You see, through Okada, with his Okada he has carried his salvation. Yes!
40. I remember a young man that was with us in this Faith, the boy used to rejoice from that day, he said that he has used his wheelbarrow to carry his salvation.
41. Begin to think on how this glorious Message came your way and how you anchored; in spite of the pressures, persecutions, mockeries that you suffered in the hand of your family members, you still held it firmly. It could be you are the only person that is saved from your family, believing a different thing altogether.
42. There is nothing pleasurable in this Church, it is not attractive. If we wanted a fanciful place where we could be given a pride of position, we could have remained in our former associations for they offered us everything. If we needed contracts, the contracts are there; if we needed money, the money is there. If we needed friendship, they are there. Even the freedom, nobody is interested in your freedom there.
43. Whether you go to Church or not, it does not mean anything, one thing they know is that you must be buried by them—a member in life or in death, yet you jumped out and glued yourself to this Faith that belongs to God.
44. Begin to thank God for the day you were privileged to come in contact with this most holy Faith. Otherwise, in your sincerity of heart, in your honesty of purpose, religiously, you would have sealed yourself into Hellfire, propagating Jesus Christ, propagating Jehovah, observing all the rules and regulations of the entire Church, being zealous of your belief even to the point of persecuting people who do not agree with you, thinking you are doing God a service. Look at where you could have landed.
45. If you go and tell the pope that he is wrong, will he believe? Before you will finish your statement, the entire world will join hand together and ask you a question, “If the pope who is regarded as God or the closet man to God if he can be wrong, who then is right?” For he has the final say in all religious matters in the world over. Do you know this World Council of Churches where OIC is affiliated, CAN is affiliated and the rest of them, that the man who is the head of affair, the man who is the overall president is not voted into it?
46. The popes, they come in succession, one after the other. If a pope gives way, another pope will come in and will also sit on that seat administering the affairs of all the Churches and countries in the world and even dictate the fate of government.
47. Maybe you do not know when he held the unification service with the African communion where archbishop Rossi and Pope John Paul the second embraced in the unification service where they exchanged holy communion and that was the year the entire world joined hands together and gave the pope the world Nobel price and the man of peace.
48. This time around, have you wondered why the Anglican Church in Africa that protested against ordaining a woman archbishop, and ordaining of homosexuals as bishops? In addition, they protested, the British Church said no that they (Africans) knew nothing about Anglican Church. That the British introduced it to Africa and that they have the right to do whatever they like.
49. The Anglican congregation in Africa now volunteered to go back to Catholic. Can you see, while they were trying to go back, Catholic made it public, the pope gave them a warm welcome. What is more, at the same time they approved that homosexuals should continue in their priesthood because it does not contradict the tradition and custom of Europe.
50. He did not stop there; he also approved what they called gay marriage: a man can now marry a fellow man and lead him to the altar; a woman can marry a fellow woman and lead her to the altar. There, the Anglican sealed their lips—this is the end of the noise.
51. If you go to the left, okay, if you go to the right, okay; what captured you, still captured you. Can you see, somebody wriggling himself into something which he can never come out of?
52. Watch all their infants, if they are clapping their hands, did they know what is happening? No because they are in the system. You can know everything but you can hardly know when you are in a system, a manmade system that is against the Will of God, an accursed system.
53. Somebody says that taking the “Mark of the Beast” means while you are on the way something will come and stamp you. You may be coming to this Church with us, sit down in our midst and fellowship, enjoying everything in this Faith with us, yet you are marked with the mark of the beast; and till eternity God will never save you.
IT PAYS TO SERVE GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH
54. WHO WILL GO TO RAPTURE? THOSE THAT HAVE THE MARK OF CHRIST. NO MORE, NO LESS. FOR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MARK OF CHRIST, YOU HAVE THE MARK OF THE DEVIL WHICH IS THE ANTI-CHRIST MARK, THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
55. Do you know what it takes to be an anti-Christ? There must be Christ, before there will be anti-Christ. Moreover, I have told you that as God liveth and I live, everybody is pro-Jesus; you can never see anything anti-Jesus. Even the Muslims acknowledge Jesus as a prophet. However, they believe that after him cometh Mohammed.
56. Thus, they believe in Jesus and also believe in Mohammed. If they believe that way, what is the difference there? Everybody is pro-Jesus, once the name of Jesus is mentioned, every knee must bow—all! However, when Christ is mentioned, remember that Christ has a name in every dispensation. Christ means the Anointed One, the Messiah, the Saviour, He does not come without a name. He comes in the Name of God, for He bears the Name of God, otherwise, He is not a representative of God.
57. These people that mention Jesus, Jesus were they not the people that killed him? Were they not the one that said “we believe in Moses, but this man never, never, never”? Today they can quote Paul, were they not the one that killed Paul? Why was Paul killed? For he was bearing the Name of God.
58. After Jesus the Christ cometh Paul, the Devil even identified Paul. Remember the story of the seven sons of sceva: “Jesus I know, Paul I know, who are you”?
59. Do you believe in Jesus? You also believe in Paul in their day? You believe in Paul, you must believe in Martins, you must believe in Urenaeus, in Columba, you must believe in Wesley, you must believe in Martin Luther, you must believe in William Branham, then you stop.
60. Do you believe in the SON OF MAN? You believe, you have believed all. If you do not believe the Son of Man, you believed nothing, you are not saved.
61. Every Messiah on the Earth is the fulfilment of the prophecies meant for that age, and the only way you can do the work of God is to believe in Him whom He has sent.
62. FOR ANY GROUP TO BE AT PEACE, HAVING IN MIND THAT THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT TRACK, THEY MUST BE PREPARED TO PRESENT THE VESSEL WHOM GOD HAS SENT AND VINDICATED. ANYBODY CAN CLAIM THAT GOD HAS SENT HIM; GOD HAS CALLED ME, “I AM A MAN OF GOD” AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SHOW US THE EVIDENCE THAT WE MAY BELIEVE.
63. They did not believe Jesus anyhow, they demanded for evidence that they might believe. Stop telling me that God called you; it is not the speech. Anybody can claim that claim, “Do you know that I am a man of God?” Nobody answers a man of the Devil, except the Son of Man. It is Me alone that has the boldness to introduce myself as the MAN OF THE DEVIL, even the anti-Christ and everything so that the war will end, yet the war will not end.
64. Everybody is saying they are man of God; my own is man of the Devil so that war will end yet the war will not end. If I say that I am God you will not accept, if I say that I am the Devil you will not accept. If I say I am a man, you will not accept, if I say I am a spirit, you will not accept, what then am I? I say I am the Son of Man, you say no! I say I am the Son of Devil, you say no! I say I am the Son of Spirit, yet you say no! I do not know what to do again.
65. They said that Jesus the Christ had a Devil, but the people said that His Word is not like the words of somebody that has a Devil: “We have never seen a man speaking like him.” They were divided in their opinions. If I said I am the Devil, no way.
66. Glory be to God in the highest. If you have been saved from this world, begin to thank God. Now begin to say what St. Paul said that this believing is not of our own making, that it is the grace of God. It is the grace of God that pulled you out from wherever you are. No matter the comfort you were enjoying in your various associations, yet something in you was querying that body, querying in you that all was not yet well, for you are looking for a higher ground.
67. As many that are sincere God helped into this Faith they got settled. That is why anybody that is excommunicated from this Faith will remain hostile, remain troubled all the days of his life. His life must be filled with regrets, why? They will keep on monitoring what is happening in our midst. When we are not interested in what is happening out there, they are monitoring everything around us everywhere—a sure sign that they are regretting, they know that something is in this Faith.
68. “What is the present stage of the ministry? What has he told you again? We have heard something!” What is their interest? You have left the Faith, you should go now.
69. BEGIN TO BLESS THE DAY GOD ALLOWED YOU TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THIS FAITH. IF YOU WERE BORN INTO THIS FAITH, BEGIN TO THANK GOD FOR YOUR PARENTS, OTHERWISE, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE CANNON FODDER. IT IS ONLY IN THIS FAITH THAT YOU HAVE THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. OUTSIDE THIS FAITH, NO HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE FOR ANYBODY.
70. I am not saying it because I am involved. After all, what am I gaining? Are you paying Me? I am suffering what you are suffering likewise, waiting where you are waiting. At every stage I am in the forefront. That is why I do not care. If you want to go, go away. Your exit means nothing to Me, rather it reduces my burden. For if you go away, your burden has gone away, your troubles have gone away, then we will continue to glorify God.
71. ONCE YOU ARE IN THIS FAITH, I AM OBLIGATORY TO TAKE YOU TO PARADISE. NOTE IT, ONCE YOU ARE IN THIS FAITH, ONCE YOU ARE IN AN AEROPLANE THAT IS BOUND TO LONDON, YOUR LIFE AND EVERYTHING IS ENTRUSTED INTO THE HAND OF THE PILOT.
72. Number one person that signs his life in is the pilot, he is obligatory to fly you safely to London. If there is disaster in the air, his life is involved and he does not want to die. Begin to see the Son of Man at that angle. I am the guide that signs my life in. Looking at it, my whole family is in this Faith, my friends and well-wishers are in this Faith.
73. I love the testimony of my late father, his last word before he gave up the ghost: “Oshimiri, I have gone and come back. God allowed me to come back and tell you this Message. I will go back again, go ahead and be strong. You and your wife, with your family should hold steadfast to this Faith. God Himself used His hand and brought this Faith. I have seen it with my eyes. If your mother is saying nonsense, do not listen to her, stand firm!” That was his last words; the next thing was that he has died.
74. I remembered how he spoke to us prophetically, Brother Mike and Myself especially. When we were troubling him, he told us that we should come and see him. One Saturday, we went home together and we sat beside him. This thing happened in 1998. In 1998 we went back home with the Message of Grace.
75. We started to read Bible, then the man began to talk, “Oshimiri, Mike, you people have found it! I told you people that our God will save us that we are the children of God.” Find out from Brother Mike whether I am telling lies for he knows about it, my wife knows about it too.
76. You see, my father knelt down, lifted his hands towards the sky and said, “Oh God live forever!” he said, “Oshimiri, do you know why I am thanking God? If somebody is saved by the grace of God, should drink alcohol. It is beer that I drank. If somebody is saved by grace, he will be drinking alcohol anyhow, rejoicing anyhow.
77. It pays to serve God in spirit and in truth. I believe in what the Message said that this matter has nothing to do with your education.
78. Watch the people that are in this worldly system, in this ecumenical movement, most of them are intellectuals. Let me show you a sign, have a ride to Holy Trinity, see the statue of St. Tansi, see that of blessed Mary, see that of Jesus Christ and so on. That is separate statue here and there, with candles that surround it, with small, small pot-plate everywhere. Go there and see the calibre of people that will park their vehicles, kneel down there praying openly.
79. After praying, they will drop their money inside one of the plates, gently they will enter their vehicle and move. Among them are doctors, engineers, lawyers—I mean highly placed individuals. What is more, if you dare speak anything against their belief, you incur their wrath.
80. Where is the basis of education in salvation? If the rule about salvation can be discovered through academic education, do you think these people could have been doing this? You see why Karl Max of Germany said that religion is the opium of the world. They cannot know, understand, even comprehend with their intellectual mind that a STATUE IS AN INANIMATE OBJECT.
81. A statue is something that is moulded in shape of a human being that has no life. What is the act of idolatry then? Is it not worshiping something that resembles a man, or a four-footed animal or bird, something that has no life? In addition, whoever that bows down to such a thing is foolish. They that worship those things are like those things. Go and see, watch the people, the calibre of people that are doing these things, they are like those things.
82. WHAT CAN YOU SAY TO ALL THESE THINGS? GOD REALLY LOVES US. IT IS NOT THE MOST BRILLIANT, NOT THE SCHOLARS, NOT THE PHILOSOPHERS OR ASTROLOGERS, BUT GOD HAS HANDPICKED, NOT ALL FOOLISH PEOPLE, GOD DID NOT INVITE ALL THE FOOLISH PEOPLE.
83. I AM SAYING THAT NOT ALL MADMEN IN THE MARKET WERE CAPTURED; SOME WERE CAPTURED AND THEY RAN AWAY FROM THE CAMP, FORFEITING THE WHOLE THING.
84. NOT MANY MIGHTY, NOT MANY NOBLE, NOT MANY INTELLECTUALS, BUT THE REJECTED THINGS OF THE WORLD, THINGS THAT ARE GREATLY DESPISED; THINGS THAT ARE SET ASIDE, NOT ALL OF THEM GOD HANDPICKED, BUT THOSE HE LOVES.
85. MOREOVER, OUT OF THE LOTS HE HANDPICKED, YOU AND I FILLED THE NUMBER. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THE NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE HE IS SAVING, BUT AS LONG AS I AM INCLUDED, THAT SETTLES THE MATTER.
86. God has made the matter very clear, looking at you, you will think that you are many, you are not many. Maybe you are the only one in your own local government, you can be the only one in your own family, you can be the only one in your own village. You can be the only one in your own family, I mean like I am Odoemena, out of Odoemena, it can be the family of Sunday, finish.
87. What is God doing? He is saving only but the remnant in every family, a remnant in every village. You are highly favoured, I am highly favoured.
88. Let me ask this question, if we are not on the right track, Who displayed His splendour, His Majesty, His Glory, His Presence among us and why?
89. Gideon did not want to worship God in vain; Gideon was challenged by the situation he found himself. He said, “God, if you are with us show us the evidence.”
90. Moreover, that was what we were praying for, we don’t want to be deceived, we don’t want counterfeit, we don’t want any abracadabra: “Almighty God, if You are with us, if You are the One that has gathered us, that is leading, show us something supernatural, something beyond the Devil impersonation, beyond human impersonation, and let that thing speak.” For God has mouth, He can speak.
91. Look at the answer, the Pillar of Cloud appeared, something the Devil cannot impersonate. Then somebody will begin to say that I am deceived.
92. IF I AM DECEIVED, WHO IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK? I HAVE TOLD YOU TIME WITHOUT NUMBER, IF SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA IS THE VERY ANTI-CHRIST, AND THE DEVIL THAT IS TROUBLING THE WORLD, LET IT BE KNOWN TO YOU THAT GOD WILL NOT DESTROY THE WORLD BECAUSE MY PEOPLE ARE IN THE MINORITY. IF HE TAKES MY PEOPLE FROM THE WORLD, NOBODY WILL KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
93. If the entire world is under the power and control of the Devil and I am the one that is the Devil; you are now the entire world. You see why the moment you leave this Faith you become a part of the System; that is what they do not know.
94. Jumping out of this Faith means rejecting the Christ of your age. You have rejected your messenger that holds the Message of your salvation, now you have counted yourself unworthy of everlasting life for God will save no other person than all that are in Him who He has sent.
95. That place where you think you are, who is your leader? They will tell you that Jesus is their leader. Who is Jesus? Where have you seen him?
96. IF YOU HAVE BELIEVED IN JESUS, YOU WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IN ME FOR JESUS SPOKE CONCERNING ME. If they have believed Moses, they would have believed Jesus, for Moses spoke concerning Him (Jesus).
97. DO YOU KNOW ONE THING I DO NOT DO, BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY THINGS I DO NOT DELVE DEEPLY INTO BECAUSE OF THE FANATICISM THAT IS ALWAYS IN MANY OF YOU; BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN, I STILL REMAIN THE JOSHUA OF TODAY.
98. NOTE IT, I AM THE JOSHUA OF TODAY, YOU ARE THE PEOPLE OF JOSHUA IN THIS DAY. GOD SAID, “JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST STOOD AND THE DEVIL CAME BY THE OTHER SIDE ACCUSING HIM OF MANY, MANY SINS. THEN GOD TURNED ROUND, JOSHUA DID NOT SPEAK, JOSHUA WAS QUIET. GOD SAID TO SATAN, “GET OUT OF THIS PLACE, I REJECT YOUR ACCUSATION FOR I HAVE PURPOSED WITHIN MYSELF TO BLESS JOSHUA AND HIS PEOPLE. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THEM, TALK, I REJECT ALL. HEAR ME VERY WELL, FOR I HAVE PURPOSED TO SHOW MERCY TO JOSHUA AND HIS PEOPLE. FOR JOSHUA AND HIS PEOPLE ARE REPRESENTATION OF GOOD THINGS TO COME.
99. What am I saying? Joshua in the Old Testament was a shadow foreshadowing good thing to come. In addition, what is that good thing? The whole prophets of old, priest of old were looking forward to the day when God will justify sinners without works, only for believing in Him whom He has sent.
100. From the very beginning, the same people joined hands together and called Jacob a surplanter, a deceiver, a cunning man. That was what they called Jacob, but to the Almighty God, He said, “There is no iniquity in Jacob for there is no transgression in Israel.”
101. Why? The Lord God is among them, and that God Who descended in the Pillar of Cloud among them became the righteousness of Jacob and his people. Hence, they could say “the Lord is our righteousness.”
102. If you do not know the people of God in your day, you call them all manners of blasphemous names; you do not know that you are using your mouth to seal your doom. You do not know that you are already jumping out of the canopy. At that point, God marks you as one that has abandoned Him. You are either for Him or against Him. Amen.
4
RESTORING THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.
Apostate means falling away from the truth and that is the meaning of denomination. The moment you jump out of this Faith, you will see yourself into apostasy. For you cannot abandon God and remain right. Can you abandon God and remain right?
2. The moment you claim you are right when you are not right, you are saying that Christ is wrong, now you are right. Is it possible? No! For a man to be right and God wrong, is it possible? The answer is no.
3. NOBODY HAS EVER FOUND FAULT WITH A MAN OF GOD AND SUCCEEDED. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TRANSGRESSION IS ALL ABOUT. Simply underline it, God Himself—if you read the Great Sermon—is behind every action of a man of God. FOR THE ACTION OF EVERY MAN OF GOD, OR IN EVERY ACTION OF A MAN OF GOD, THERE IS A HIDDEN PURPOSE OF GOD.
4. We could only see Ruth, we could only see Abigail, we can talk about the Hittite, that is Bath-sheba, if you look at the action of David towards Bath-sheba and Uriah the Hittite, you will question God for David being on the Throne forever.
5. What can you say if through Bath-sheba Solomon came and became the King that built the Temple. Besides, if you can trace Solomon, trace Bath-sheba, you will get Jesus Christ and other priests that came out. If you trace Ruth, you will trace it down to Jesus. For you must see Jesse, you must see David, you must see Jesus Christ. You trace Abigail, the same thing.
6. However, when you look at what transpired, if you are not intelligent, you will open your mouth to blaspheme Him, not knowing the mind of God. When God is initiating a move, people can hardly know what He is doing.
7. You see, William Branham also held the view that Joseph’s brothers sold him because of envy and jealousy. He knew not the Scriptures for the Scriptures said, “God, Jehovah, knowing ahead of time that there will be famine among His people sold Joseph ahead of time to the Egyptians.” For there was no way God could sell Joseph without using somebody.
8. Who knows the mind of God? You see why what we need to pray for is God to give us the wisdom to understand what He is doing at every point in time. Otherwise, human beings are bound to speak evil of things they know not.
9. If God does not want Brother IK Obasanya to continue with Him, He has reasons and He knows very well that if he is allowed, that if he holds unto the end, God will be guilty if at the end He did not save him. God knows what He will do to stumble him out. He can because of him initiate something that never existed, after using it to throw him away, He will drop it and go back to the right line.
10. God knows how to throw anybody out. If He wants to throw you out, He will throw you out. If He wants to keep you in this Faith for the testimony of those that will go to rapture, He will keep you also. He knows He is not saving you; He will do anything good for you so that you will be among the people that will tell people around that the saints have gone.
11. You know there are women that were kept at the bedside of Jesus Christ; they have only but one responsibility: To tell the people that came to the grave that He is not there that He is risen. You know they have no other business, they were looking at the grave, anybody that comes around, they will tell him that He is risen. Who will like to be such a person who God will keep here to tell people what has taken place, that the saints have gone.
12. Well, one man that used to come to my shop, after listening to Me, said that he is not surprised and he will not be surprised any day he comes to my shop and he will be told that I am gone. That he has heard too many things about Me, that he has changed his views concerning us.
13. Initially he wanted to blaspheme, but now anytime he saw Me he will shouting Brother P, Brother P., and he comes from Enugu. Having listened to the voice of our enemies, he thought that they were serious. When he came in contact with Me, I gave him the truth, he verified all and then turned his back against them.
14. He is my friend; he is not a member of this Bridal movement. You can be my friend in this Faith yet you are not a member of this Bridal Ministry; but you struck friendship with your archenemy, that is why I kept you in this Faith. Jesus have too many of such friends. Tell me, won’t it be disastrous in the end? Are you not aware of what I am saying? Judas was Jesus’ friend, He made it public: “My friend,” not my enemy. In addition, he was a Bishop. Glory be to God.
15. Let Me cut it short lest Bishops will become afraid. Lest I cause hypertension somewhere, it appears like all my Bishops or all our Bishops hate hearing anything contrary around them. They hate hearing anything contrary around Bishopric office. Bishops, am I right?
16. The Bride of Christ is called out of the Church, the Church was first established before the Bride was called out. The true Church was called out from the false Church—firmly established, out of the Church comes out the Bride.
17. The falling away from the true Church was predicted by the Holy Bible for the future apostasy. Jesus Christ Himself said that “many false prophets would arise and deceive many” (Matthew 24:11).
18. Brethren, do not worry, anytime from now you are going to have the Message titled “Cry out Against the System” in book form. We published it as our first magazine. You can see why the conference was called; it is because of our publication to ascertain the truthfulness of the Message.
19. After the Episcopal conference that they held, they came up with a conclusion that there must either be an excommunicated or retired or resigned member of the Roman Catholic who gave us those prohibited letters and books.
20. They verified all our citations and found all to be correct. We never quoted outside their own books. Thus, if you are boasting to be a Catholic, I more. You are in a System you know not.
21. Apart from the Bridal Faith, every other Faith is Catholic Faith. That is why to accommodate them is very easy. However, they can never accommodate you. Catholic is a spirit. If you are in CMS Church, you are a Catholic. If you are in a Pentecostal Church, you are a Catholic.
22. My wife came back from the market recently and was telling Me about the experience she had on the road with Deeper Life people. You need to see what is left of Deeper Life Church today; you now begin to praise God.
23. You see, Kumuyi has led all of them back to Catholic. One man preaching along our street one day, because of the way he started his prayer in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit and things like that, and he was quoting from the same Bible of Roman Catholic and things like that.
24. My wife was objected that the man came from Catholic and he wanted to start his own movement. I said, “No, this young man, I know him. He is a member of Deeper Life Church from Oko in Anambra State.” By the time he ended and introduced himself, it became clear he commanded his hearers to come to Deeper Life Church, gave his phone and things like that at Mbanugo Street. In practice, in everything they are now one.
25. The only group that is being rejected, evil spoken of remained this most holy Faith. They will tell you that you are a good man but you are in a false Church. What makes you a Devil is your belief. Every other person is in a nice group but concerning your own, they will call your own occult group. If you like worship in an open air, you are a member of a cult.
26. However, those that worship in the night lockup the rooms and everything, their own is approved. Have you wondered why even in your family they will tell you to go to any Church you like but not this one Bridal Faith? They will tell you, “You must come out of this one! You can go to Sabbath, go to any other Church but this one, we have marked it bad.”
27. Why is this one bad? You must answer this question yourself. God has helped us to know the truth. As we stand at the Gate, many things are happening.
28. TO YOU MARKET MEN AND WOMEN WHO JOIN IN ECUMENICAL PRAYERS AND EVEN SUPERVISE THEM, BE VERY CAREFUL. DO NOT WORRY, A DAY IS COMING, THERE IS GOING TO BE A PROCLAMATION VERY SOON, YOU EITHER JOIN IN THAT UNGODLY PRAYER OR YOU WILL NOT OPEN YOUR SHADE. Under line it!
29. It is narrowing down gradually. One day, they will call a spade a spade. Their leader will make a proclamation that: “Anybody who is absenting himself from this prayer, which all of us have agreed to pray is the one troubling our business, he is the one troubling the market. He will never do business among us again.” It will be signed.
30. For you to get a shop in the market, you must be a part of the union. It is narrowing down. Do you know what funny thing you hear? Collective prayer, ungodly prayer, they hire their preachers and pay them.
31. Moreover, the people will come and tell them what they are happy to hear: “Umu Chineke!!! Clap for Jesus wherever you are.” Be very careful, for you not to be marked, if you have not even been marked already. If you have not bowed down to that image already, because at that point where you have compromised, for bowing down to the beast, subscribing to it, the matter is finished. Amen.
WHAT TIME IS IT? By APOSTLE KELECHI
5
WHAT TIME IS IT?
Remain blessed brethren; we thank God Whose love has kept all of us till this very moment. Seeing the way God is making His move among us, a carnally minded fellow, one that has no God in him, cannot believe that this is God’s move.
2. If you cast your mind back, seeing how prophecies are fulfilling, God told us: “Son of Man, your people always say that your dreams, your visions, and thus says the Lord always stay for a long time, but tell them that all these visions and prophecies you are seeing will never tarry, they will be alive, seeing those things coming to pass in this life.”
3. The same thing happened to Daniel. If you go to Daniel chapter 12 verse 10, after Daniel had the great vision, Daniel heard about the hour we are living in, he asked a question: “When will all these things happen, how will it take place?” the Voice told him, ”Just close the whole thing,” and go his way.
4. The vision is sealed; it is for the end time. That the weakest, the foolish people will never understand whatever is happening. Only the wise will understand what is happening. You see why God has been warning us, pleading with us to keep ourselves with the Messages we have received.
5. Now, these Messages are in book form, as we give ourselves to study them, every prophecy that comes to pass, will we know when it came to pass, we will know when it is happening.
6. However, if you do not have these Messages, or you have them and you do not study them, you do not give yourself to them, you are foolish in the sight of God. When the prophecy will come to pass, you will not know. Before you know it, you have wriggled yourself into something you cannot save yourself from in your life.
7. “The Voice of the Sign,” preached 1964, page 13 verse 89, “Notice, maybe the Pillar of Fire is a sign, and then the Voice of the sign spoke. See, the Pillar of Fire is a sign of the voice. And was here ready to speak. The sign only shows that the voice was ready to speak.
8. The sign shows God is ready to speak. And when God shows a sign, in this last day…”
9. Page 92: “And there is a kind of sign, signs in the Heaven above, fearful sign, flying thunder, the pentagon look at them, they do not know what they are. All kind of signs, sea roaring, waves perplexing of all kinds. Victory between the Faithful, all these things, Earthquake in diverse places, man born into group, knowledge increase.
10. All these other thing shall disappear in the last days in the Laodicea Age. All these things shall say great coming: how that Christ will be put out of the Church in the last days. All these things are God speaking signs”.
11. Page 14 verse 101, “When the thing will turn a building, when the thing will got to build a bigger organization, will come to go into ecumenical council, that is a sign of unity. To me it is a sign of the Anti-Christ. That was exactly what the Bible spoke of. It is not a scriptural sign, only on the other side let the believer go his way, amen.
12. The Urim and Thummim is God’s Word; the event will take place in the last days. So, when they say they are going to build the ecumenical council, they will come together.”
13. William Branham said it is a sign, and it is a sign of Anti-Christ. We should be very, very careful these last days. As many as do not take this Faith seriously, as many that think we are playing Church, relax your mind. You will not understand whatever that is happening, if what we are saying in this most holy Faith is a story to you, very soon you will know that what we are saying is a reality.
14. You see when God was telling us to get this Messages, “Behold the Man of Sin,” “This Generation In Prophecy,” some thought that what God is saying will not come to pass.
15. God has kept His people somewhere where they will see His prophecy coming to pass. I did not know what is taking place in our country, and God has prophesied it in 1996 that the plan has been concluded; and they are going to many of our Brother’s houses.
16. When they saw people coming, telling them about that Roman Catholic census, our brothers now have to tell them that we are not Roman Catholics, that they can go to the other side.
17. Nevertheless, do you know that God has told us about it? It was when they came to my house, recently, the man said that they are doing Roman Catholic census, the thing struck my mind, I said, “What?” They repeated it.
18. I started enquiring and they explained everything, though even he himself do not know what they were doing, it was a prophecy fulfilling. God has already told us this ahead of time and I remember that God told us such a thing. I did not remember a particular Message, I came to the Son of Man and told Him about it, He said that I should go to “The Last Trumpet.”
19. Here we are now, why can’t you ask yourself a question: Why is this thing happening in the year 2011? That is why God was telling us that events that will happen then, we will know that our flight has drawn near. Now we are standing at the Gate.
20. “The Last Trumpet,” chapter 7, page 177, verse 1-11: “So OPENLY CORRUPT did the fallen Church become in the Middle Ages, we CAN readily understand why in many places men rose up in protest. Many were those noble souls who rejected the false claims of the Pope, looking instead to Christ our Lord for salvation and truth. These were called ‘heretics’ and were bitterly persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church.
21. One of the documents that ordered such persecutions was the inhuman ‘Ad jexstirpanda’ issued by Pope Innocent IV in 1252. This document stated that heretics were to be ‘crushed like venomous snakes.’ It formally approved the use of torture. Civil authorities were ordered to burn heretics.’
22. The aforesaid Bull ‘Ad exstirpanda’ renamed thenceforth a fundamental document of the Inquisition, renewed or reinforced by several Popes, Alexander IV (1254-61), Clement IV (1265-68), Nicholas IV (1288-92), Boniface VIII (1294-1303), and others.
23. The civil authorities, therefore, were enjoined by the popes, under pain of excommunication to execute the legal sentences that condemned impenitent heretics to the stake. It is to be noted that excommunication itself was no trifle, for, if the person excommunicated did not free himself from the excommunication within a year, he was held by the legislation of that period to be a heretic, and incurred all the penalties that affected heresy.’
24. Men pondered long days on how they could devise methods that would produce the most torture and pain. One of the most popular methods was the use of the rack, a long table on which the accused was tied by the hands and feet, back down, and stretched by rope and windlass. This process dislocated joints and caused great pain.
25. Heavy pincers were used to tear out fingernails or were applied red to sensitive parts of the body. Rollers with sharp knife blades and spikes were used, over which the heretics were rolled back and forth. There was the thumbscrew, an instrument made for disarticulating fingers and ‘Spanish boots’ which were used to crush the legs and feet. The ‘iron virgin’ was a hollow instrument the size and figure of a woman. Knives were arranged in such a way and under such pressure that the accused were lacerated in its deadly embrace. This torture device was sprayed with ‘holy water’ and inscribed with, the Latin words meaning, ‘Glory be only to God.’
26. Victims after being stripped of their clothing had their arms tied behind their backs with a hard cord. Weights’ were attached to their feet. The action of a pulley suspended them in mid-air or dropped and raised them with a jerk, dislocating joints of the body. While such torture was being employed, priests holding up crosses would attempt to get the heretics to recant.
27. Ridpath’s History of the World includes an illustration of the work of the Inquisition in the Netherlands. Twenty-one Protestants are hanging from the tree. A man on a ladder is about to be hanged, below him is a priest holding a cross.
28. ‘In the year 1554, Francis Gamba, a Lombard, of the Protestants persuasion, was apprehended and condemned to death by the sentence of Milan. At the place of execution, a monk presented a cross to him, to whom Gamba said, ‘My mind is so full of the real merits and goodness of Christ that I want not a piece of senseless stick to put me in mind of Him.’ For this expression his tongue was bored through and he was afterwards burned.’
29. Some who rejected the teachings of the Roman Church had molten lead poured into their ears and mouths. Eyes were gouged out and others were cruelly beaten with whips. Some were forced to jump from cliffs onto long spikes fixed below, where, quivering from pain, they slowly died. Others were choked to death with mingled pieces of their own bodies, with urine, or excrement. At night, the victims of the Inquisition were chained closely to the floor or wall where they were a helpless prey to the rats and vermin that populated those bloody torture chambers.
30. The religious intolerance that prompted the Inquisition caused wars which involved entire cities. In 1209 the city of Berziers was taken by men who have been promised by the pope that by engaging in the crusade against heretics they would at death bypass Purgatory and immediately enter Heaven. Sixty thousand, it is reported, in this city perished by the sword while blood flowed in the streets. At Lavaur, in 1211 the governor, was hanged on a gibbet and his wife thrown into a well and crushed with stones. Four hundred people in this town were burnt alive. The crusaders attended high mass in the morning, then proceeded to take other towns of the area. In this siege, it is estimated that 100,000 Albigenses (Protestants) fell in one day. Their bodies were heaped together and burned.”
31. “The Last Trumpet,” chapter 8, page 204, verse 1-27, “READY TO DIE”: “Somebody may be tempted to ask whether this type of inquisition can happen again in this civilized world we are living and the answer is boldly ‘yes.’ Christianity is the same, yesterday, today and forever.
32. Since God cannot change, His teachings cannot change, the effect and result of His teachings cannot change. What His teachings produced in the first and second centuries is exactly what it will produce in the twentieth century. If reproduced by His followers unadulterated.
33. Hear what the Lord Jesus Christ predicted about Himself: ‘Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
34. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.’ (Luke 18:31-33, KJV).
35. Did it come to pass? The answer is boldly yes. Hear what He predicted would be fall His early disciples.
36. ‘But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
37. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
38. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
39. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But there shall not a hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. ‘(Luke 21:12-19, KJV).
40. Did it come to pass? The answer is yes. Why did it happen to His followers and why must the same fate follow His followers today even forever? The following scriptures answer it fully.
41. ‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his Lord; neither he that is sent greater than He that sent Him.’ (John 13:16, KJV).
42. ‘If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
43. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
44. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.’ (John 15:18-21, KJV).
45. ‘ These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
46. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.’ (John 16:1-4, KJV).
47. Why should all true Christians expect this drastic opposition and inquisition from the Roman Catholic Church again? I want you to understand that Roman Catholic will not change and will not compromise her faith and will never drop her claim of being the first Church and the original Church while she sees other Churches as mere make-up in her domineering nature, instead of compromising her faith, she will rather cause other churches to compromise their own to her favour. In fact, all that claim they have escaped from Roman Catholic Church no matter the name they have taken, MUST go back to Roman Catholic.
48. Do you know that the Roman Catholic Pontiff; Pope of Rome, is now the head of the World Council of Churches where all Churches including Protestants, Pentecostals and Traditional Churches are affiliated?
49. Do you know that all the government of all the nations in the world today recognize him as the head and leader of all Christians the world over irrespective of the differing denominations in the world? Do you know that the Pope has the final say in all Christian’s matter now all over the world?
50. NOTE : very soon, a decree is coming into existence, giving Christian Association of Nigeria authority to merge Churches and to close down all mushroom Churches of their own description.
51. Do you know that the Roman Catholic Church is almost concluding its census of their members and their residences worldwide? What do you think this is all about? Do you know that any Church that is not registered with the government already is regarded as an illegal Church? Do you know that preaching without identity card in Nigeria issued by the National Evangelical Commission of Nigeria will soon constitute a punishable offence under the law of Nigeria? Do you know that a new Bible is coming into circulation very soon which is amended to accommodate and respect all Catholic beliefs and our Lord’s prayer is amended to read: ‘Our Father and our Mother in heaven.’
52. True Christians, fellow elect of God, sheep in the midst of wolves, please, watch out. Do not give up. A knight of Roman Catholic warned a brother, a true Christian, to be very very careful because he will pay the price for reproducing the second century Gospel in this twentieth century for no man ever transgressed or trespasses against Roman Catholic beliefs and, got away with it. Another person also; said that we are sitting on a time bomb that will explode with time. He said they have taken note of all we preached and that very soon they will marshal out their boys to deal with us, after all, our members are less than their children in one block rosary centre in the street.
53. Nobody should be fooled into calling this threat an empty one although it came from an individual. Looking at the whole religious atmosphere, it appears to be calm but it is an uneasy calm. Every true Watchman that has the Spirit of God will acknowledge this to be true. It is calm because all that came out of Roman catholic Church and formed their business centres as Churches have gone back to their mother in every way hence the calm.
54. Where are the Elijah’s of today’? Where are the John the Baptist of today. God is shouting for the last time, saying ‘Who is on the Lord’s side?’ He that will like to save his life will lose it and he that will lose his life for this Gospel sake will gain it and even have eternal life.
55. ‘…He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.’ (Matthew 10:39, KJV).
56. Why should all the children of God compromise their holy and high calling because of the fear of death? Who will not die? Innocent or guilty, all mankind must one day die in this flesh. To die in Christ is great gain. Therefore, arise all true children of God, take up the Sword of the Spirit and establish true righteousness on Earth for that is your commission and not to be millionaires here.
57. … ‘Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days; be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.’ (Rev. 2: 10, KJV).
58. Do you know that Pentecostal Federation of Nigeria (PFN) African Instituted Churches, (AlC) Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN); and National Evangelical Commission (NECO) are all affiliated members of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), which a Roman Catholic Archbishop is the head at Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria?
59. Do you know that CAN has emptied all Churches in Nigeria into the World Council of Churches which is now headed by the Roman Catholic Pope and is the express image of the BEAST? Watch out all sincere Children of God. This time bomb will soon explode. (The Watchman).“
60. Just like play, see where we are! some of us that are not here when this Message was preached, the time has come for every colour of everyone of us to come out.
61. This is not the time your Pastor will stand for you, no. This is the time you will stand for yourself. Let me show you what this place said concerning the Pope.
62. Page 209, “These men preached”: “Revelation 13: 18, Martin Luther: ‘The Papacy is the seat of the true and real Anti-Christ…” Charles H. Spurgeon “We must warn with judicious boldness those that are incline to the errors of the Rome… we must… tell them the black doing of the popery. John Knox “Knox said that the Pope should be recognised as the very Anti-Christ”. John Wesley said, “He is in an emphatically sense the man of sin, as he increase all manners of sin above measures.” John Calvin said, “…We call the Roman Pontiff Anti-Christ.” Thomas Crammer said, “Wherefore it followeth Rome to be the seat of Anti-Christ, and the Pope to be the very Anti-Christ himself”. These men preached in their own dispensations, we are not following cunningly devised fables.
63. These things you are seeing, God gave us these things, opened it before us. Hence, do not say why are we against Roman Catholic? We are saying it because God has said it. If you are angry because we are saying it, leave us!
64. If you are the Judas in our midst—a man can be a Judas and a woman can be a Judas—we have not fooled you, our aim is to open the eyes of your understanding so that you will escape. Amen.
A wise man does not follow the majority when they are wrong. Though a lie may stay for a million years it is still a lie. (The Watchman).
EVENTS ARE MADE CLEAR BY PROPHECY (2) BY APOSTLE KELECHI
6
EVENTS ARE MADE CLEAR BY PROPHECY (2)
Let me show you something from the Message “Behold the Man of Sin,” page 153, “BELIEVE IT OR NOT ROME HAS CONQUERED THE WORLD AGAIN.
2. Who united East and West Germany? The Pope of Rome. Who caused the disintegration of USSR and Russia emerged as a Sovereign Nation – the Pope of Rome. Who united the whole of Europe together hence they can now have one Radio Europe – the Pope of Rome. Who is the Nobel Prize Winner as the world man of peace – the Pope Rome. What is his message to the World – Love and Peace. Are Africa and other continents left out in his programmes- No. Rome has conquered the world again.
3. GREAT QUESTION: Who is sitting on Caesar’s Seat?”
4. “Behold the Man of Sin,” page 167: “DO YOU KNOW? That all religious denominations in the world today including Muslims, now are members of the World Council of Churches (W.C.C.) which is now being headed by the Supreme Pontiff of Roman Catholic Church – The Pope. That Roman Catholic Charitable Organisation; CARITAS, has now merged with W.C.C. which was formerly owned by protestants?-THE WATCHMAN.”
5. They provided food to people during the civil war; they provided material to people in Bayelsa—the Caritas and W.C.C. Note, W.C.C was formerly headed by Anglican, while Caritas by Catholics. The two are now one.
6. “Behold the Man of Sin,” page 132: “DO YOU KNOW that very soon, the whole world will be under one world government and one world Church under the New World Order of the United Nations?
7. That there will be one world market (which is World Trade Centre) WTC which Osama Bin Laden bombed.
8. “…And one world currency soon…”
9. Already Dollar is acceptable in the whole world.
10. “…That there will be one world market and one world currency soon. That the world has been divided into blocs for ease of the new system. (European Free Trade Association EFTA) European Econoinic Community – EEC, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) etc.”
11. That a new banking system called Standard International Banking will soon be in operation in the whole world. It has started already
12. “… That a new banking system called Standard International Banking will soon be in operation in the whole world.”
13. In this arrangement, nobody will make use of cheque booklet again because Computer will do all things. “Have you seen it? Nobody will make use of cheque booklet again!
14. By that time Nigeria has not introduce Computer in our Banking system. How many years now, sixteen years ago. Is the introduction of Computer added sixteen years?
15. What I am saying right now is that many bank do not use cheque again. Go to GTB, when you get there give them your number, type it into the computer and they will give you your money, finish.
16. In the World Bank, in America, everywhere the use of cheque has stopped. What am I saying; Federal Government has already initiated a move; very soon your ATM will pay you one hundred and fifty thousand Naira. It has started already; have you heard it? No more queuing on the counter. You simply go to the machine, that is Automatic Teller Machine and collect your money.
17. Brethren in 1996, the Resurrected Body (Christ, the Watchman, the Son of Man) saw it. Do you know today that we have ECOWAS currency? Today we have three currencies that control the world, namely: Pound Sterling, Dollar and Euro.
18. “…YOUR RELIGIONOUS IDENTITY MUST BE A QUALIFICATION FOR YOU TO HAVE BUSINESS TRANSACTION IN ANY BANK…”
19. BRETHREN, THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO, since Nigeria has adopted the system like Islamic banking. Thus when you go to bank, watch from now, from 2012—if there will be 2012—you must present an authorized evidence that you are either a Christian or a Muslim.
20. As a Muslim you go to business, free banking. Note, FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO BE ADMITTED IN ANY SCHOOL, THE FORM MUST BE SIGNED BY A CLERGYMAN OF A RECOGNISED CHURCH, IT IS A MUST. IN ADDITION, YOUR CHILDREN WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT MUST GO TO THE CHURCH THAT OWNS THAT SCHOOL.
21. YOUR CHILD CAN NEVER BE IN ST. CHARLES, WHETHER SPECIAL SCIENCE OR THE SECONDARY SIDE AND GO TO CHURCH OUTSIDE THE PREMISES, NO. THEY MUST ATTEND ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. THIS IS THE RULE NOW EVERYWHERE, GO AND FIND OUT FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE.
22. This is a prophecy you must underline. WHAT IF IT HAPPENS AND YOUR MONEY IS TRAPPED IN THE BANK, WHAT WILL YOU DO? WILL YOU COMPROMISE SO AS TO WITHDRAW YOUR MONEY?
23. IF YOU GO TO ISLAMIC SIDE, YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL. YOU GO TO THE CHRISTIAN SIDE, YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL. THUS, IF “A” DOES NOT CATCH YOU, “B” MUST SURELY CATCH YOU.
24. IF THEY DID NOT CATCH YOU IN BUSINESS, THEY WILL CATCH YOU IN BANKING. IF THEY FAIL, THEY WILL CATCH YOU IN RELIGION; IF THEY FAIL AGAIN THERE, THEY WILL CATCH YOU IN SCHOOL. YOU MUST BE CAUGHT.
25. Your religion identity must be a qualification for you to have business transaction in any bank. All these arrangements signalled the end of the age because events are made clear by prophecy.
26. By this we know that thou are a man of God for the words that came out of your mouth are according to truth. Amen.
BEHOLD THE MAN OF SIN REVIEWED By APOSTLE KELECHI

BEHOLD THE MAN OF SIN REVIEWED
Behold the Man of Sin,” page 141, POINT TO PONDER: “Pope John Paul II visited Togo in the year 1992 and had communion (Mass) with witches and wizards in that country called ‘Voo-doo Priests,’ thereby encouraging them to practice witchcraft. Does it mean that he is ignorant of the following passages of the Bible?
2. ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.’ (Ex. 22.18). ‘There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
3. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.’ (Deut 18: 10- 12, KJV).
4. ‘They were fully aware of God’s death penalty for these crimes, yet they went right ahead and did them anyway and encouraged others to do them, too.’ (Rom 1:32 Living Bible).
5. ‘But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.’ (Rev. 21:8, KJV).
6. On the 1st June, 1985 in Kenya a conference of 800,000 people accredited to correct some Epistles of the Bible: (1 Corinth. 6:14-17; 2nd Corinth 6: 6-16), they assume yet Apocalypse (Revelation) in order to remove all that from the Bible.
7. On the 12/08/85, the Unity Churches have given (accorded) to the new Bible to appear soon which name will be ‘Jerusalem Bible’ in which is not SABBATH. In the place Of Sabbath, there is Sunday.
8. If the Pope is a man of God he wouldn’t have encouraged this wickedness when he visited Nairobi Kenya, on the 21/06/85, even when the Holy Bible clearly spoke against addition or subtraction from the Bible.
9. ‘Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.’ (Deut. 4: 2, KJV).
10. ‘Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.’ (Prov. 30: 5-6, KJV).
11. ‘For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
12. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.’ (Rev. 22: 18-19, KJV).
13. THE LETTERS ON THE UNIFICATION OF CHURCHES FROM KEKE ROTE, 25/05/85, KENYA, NAIROBI ON THE 29/05/85. THE COUNCIL DECIDED TO FORM THE WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES ON 19/06/85
14. The subject has been treated on the arrival of Pope John Paul II in Nairobi on the 21/06/85. The Pope announced the reason of his coming (arrival) which was to unite Churches with the State (Government). That was the meeting held with the KENYAN Government on the 11/08/85.
15. If the Pope is a man of God that take side with the Word of God he should have obeyed the Holy Bible which forbids Christians and Christian Churches from being yoked together with unbelievers because two cannot walk together except they be agreed and our kingdom is not political kingdom of this present world.
16. ‘Can two walk together, except they be agreed?’ (Amos 3:3, KJV).
17. ‘Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
18. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them ; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing ; and I will receive you.
19. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.’ (2 Corinth. 14-18, KJV).
20. ‘Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
21. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.’ (Isaiah 8:12-13, KJV).
22. Every God-fearing man cannot mix the things of God with the State (Government).
23. You see why this Bridal Faith is far away from anything Government. If you watch all these politicians, you will know of a truth that we are not of them.
24. William Branham told us this is a mercury Message, pour the mercury on the ground and then handpicked the mercury. Brethren you see where we are, whatever you see going on in the world today, God has already told us about it.
25. You see why we thank God so much on behalf of this publication ministry, if these things were not published in book form, of a truth we all must fall victim. That is true! There is no other way this Message can be preserved if not by print. God said, “I have preserved my Holy Word that you may not perish.”
24. There is one thing Son of Man told me one Monday when I was telling Him my encounter with this Roman Catholic census; He said, “God allowed you to meet them and now God has made it for us to go back to ‘The Last Trumpet’ and the rest of them for review.”
25. If not for the Message, nothing would have prompted us to go back to the Messages we published from the very official beginning, namely “Cry out against the System,” “Hard Truth” and the rest of them.
26. “The Last Trumpet,” page 77, POINTS TO PONDER: “Ecumenism—Myth or Reality? No matter how all counterfeit Churches come together, aiming at being one under ecumenical movement sponsored by the World Council of Churches, headed by the Pope of Roman Catholic Church, can the Roman Catholic Church accept a Pentecostal Pastor to officiate in her pulpit?
27. Can Assemblies of God Church accept a Methodist Church Pastor to Minister or Pastor their Church without retraining him in their own Bible College? Can the Deeper Life Bible Church accept a Baptist Church Pastor to Pastor any of their Churches? Can Cherubim and Seraphim, Sabbath Churches, Seventh Day Adventists, etc accept Pentecostal Pastor, or Roman Catholic Rev. Father, etc., to Pastor any of their Churches?
28. If the answer is emphatically ‘No,’ where lies their claim of being one? (The Watchman).
29. Let me tell you something, in other to persecute the truth, Pilate and Herod who were archenemies had to agree and became one so as to persecute the truth. Can you believe that?
30. Thus saith the Bible, in other to make sure that Jesus was killed, for professing that He is God, the very Christ, Pilate and Herod who before then were archenemies that could not see eye to eye, they have to amend their fences, came together to be one; and with one voice they passed judgment to kill the Messiah of that day.
31. They made conference, knowing that both of them were against what Christ was doing; they had to agree in order to kill Him. The daughters had to agree with their mother, that is, the Roman Catholic has to agree with her daughters in order to persecute the true Church, the Bride. This is the truth of the whole matter.
32. THAT IS WHY IN A FAMILY, YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT A FAMILY IS ALL ABOUT UNTIL YOUR MOUTH OR YOUR ACTION WILL PUT YOU INTO TROUBLE. WHEN YOU WANT TO GO INTO A MATTER BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE WITHOUT USING GODLY WISDOM, YOU WILL BECOME THE BONE OF CONTENTION.
33. If the man caused the trouble, then you will know the extent the woman loved the husband. In addition, the man will tell you that his wife is the best in the whole world and that they have never quarrelled since they married each other. Do you get the Message?
34. Know the truth, where the woman and the husband will not agree, they were fighting on a daily basis; but when it comes to making trouble with somebody, the two will become one. After making the trouble, they will part again and become enemies again. It happened in this Faith, it is still happening, and it will continue to happen.
35. However, what is my joy? These people are touts (agboros) we are using to load the vehicle. Many had come down, and collected their payments. Some are still there in our vehicle; they may follow us to a certain extent, come down and follow another vehicle back.
36. An agboro does not pay transport fare, and one vehicle can never take one agboro to his destination. An agboro is an agboro. In Lagos agboro, in Onitsha agboro, in Enugu agboro, in America agboro also. Amen.

THE WORD INTERPRETS THE WORD
Thank God He that called us is still with us, looking at this congregation, let me be Godly sincere to you and to myself, IT HAS DAWNED ON ME NOW TO MAKE THIS PROCLAMATION THAT THIS BRIDAL FAITH, AS FAR AS I AM STANDING HERE, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE IN THIS CHURCH THIS MOMENT ARE MADE UP OF SIXTY PERCENT (60%) ELECTS AND FORTY PERCENT (40%) CATHOLICS.
2. THAT IS WHY THERE IS NO REVIVAL IN THIS CAMP. ALL THAT THE MAN OF GOD IS SAYING ARE FLYING AWAY FROM THEM. SOME ARE BOILING INSIDE WHILE SOME ARE WONDERING WHETHER IT COULD BE TRUE. SOME ARE EVEN JUDGING HIM. SIXTY PERCENT (60%) ARE NODDING THEIR HEADS IN APPROVAL AND PRAISING GOD. FORTY PERCENT, IF THEY WILL COME BACK TO THIS CHURCH AGAIN, THEY ARE HYPOCRITES FOR WE HAVE TROD ON THEIR “NO GO AREA”.
3. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THEM, AND THEY ARE NO LONGER HAPPY. HOWEVER, THE CLOUD IS HAPPY.
4. Nature speaks louder than any other thing. We are feasting under His Canopy, for this is the hour.
5. LET ME TELL YOU THE PERSON THAT HAS ALREADY BETRAYED THIS FAITH IS AMONG US. THIS FAITH IS ALREADY BETRAYED. THE SON OF MAN IS ALREADY BETRAYED, NOT THAT HE IS GOING TO BE BETRAYED, NO. HE IS ALREADY BETRAYED.
6. IF YOU BELONG TO ME, YOU ARE ALREADY BETRAYED. THE PERSON THAT BETRAYED YOU IS ALREADY IN YOUR MIDST. ONE DAY, YOU WILL HEAR ANOTHER LANGUAGE AND YOU WILL MARVEL: “ARE YOU SURE? THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE SAYING!”
7. WHO ARE THE PEOPLE MAKING THIS STATEMENT? THOSE THAT ARE STILL AMONG US, CLAIMING TO BELONG TO THIS FAITH, THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. THEY ARE IN THIS CHURCH, MADE UP OF FORTY PERCENT (40%) I MEAN NOW, NOW AS I AM STANDING HERE.
8. However, can we because of these people shy away from what we are saying or decline from the truth? Never! Never!
9. They are the very fire extinguishers. I remember the first Voice: “Obadiah, go and tell your master that I am here.”
10. If you betray the Son of Man, you have not betrayed anybody. I am already in the picture worldwide. If I am afraid of death, why am I trailing on this dangerous ground? Why am I not compromising with the heathens? Think twice!
11. The earlier you address the truth in its entirety the better. Before I show you something in the Message titled “You Are the Children of the Prophets,” let me show you something in the Message titled “The Way of a True Prophet,” page 14 the third paragraph:
12. “Now Amos was God’s prophet, a true Prophet. Any man that ever read about Amos knows the Prophet of that fearless man of God. He is considered as one of the minor Prophets because he did not stay very long. However, he certainly laid the axe on the root of the tree, he was one of the most fearless of the prophets and he came with the anointing, he came with the ‘thus saith the Lord of Hosts.’
13. He knows what he was talking about because; the anointing of God was upon him to bring the right interpretation to God’s Holy Word. The Word interprets the Word, for the Word of God is God, and it is of no private interpretation.
14. Thus, it takes the Word to interpret the Word. Amos was the word for that day, you call him Prophet but he was God. For God was hiding in him, using him as His mouthpiece. If he was wrong, God was wrong. If he was right, God was right. He was the visible representation of the invisible Deity. For the Deity dwelleth in him that day without measure.
15. Ask me the Name of God in Amos’ day, I will say His Name was Amos. You call him David, but that was God. You call him Abraham, but that was God. Glory be to God. How people Miss God in all the Ages.”
16. Let me tell you something, IF WHAT MAKES ME A DEVIL BEFORE MANY WITNESSES MEANS STANDING UPON THE REVELATION OF THE WORD OF GOD, I OWE NO APOLOGY TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.
17. “You Are the Children of the Prophets,” volume one, page 83 from verse 14: “Additionally, the Bible said in the book of Roman Chapter 15 that Jesus came to confirm the promise made unto the fathers and ye are the children of the prophetss. If we are the children of the prophet that goes to show that there are no human being on Earth that can understand and interpret prophetic statement more than us.” You are saying that what we are saying is wrong, it is because you are not among the children of the prophets. If you are among the children of the prophets, you must understand that prophetic statement, prophetic vision that come in symbol, in figures, in metaphor in any form, in any words you are the only one that will understand. No matter the way it is put, we must catch it. No matter the masquerade it appears, we must identify Him.”
18. Let me tell you, if you are a seed of God, you will identify it. I do not care the type of masquerade He assumes, I must surely identify Him. Even if He is crippled, I will tell everybody, “Look at Him.” Even if He is being led by the hand as a blind man, I will tell people, “Look at Him.” If He pretends to be mad like David, before a particular king, until the man said, “Who brought this mad man before me? Please take him away!” I will tell them, “Do not mind him, He is the One.”
WE ARE NOT FOLLOWING CUNNINGLY DEVISED FABLES
19. Have you forgotten our experience in Jos In 1998? When there was blackout in Jos for over one week, and I fixed a meeting in Jos; there was no water because there was a total blackout for one week. There was no light until the brethren hired a generating set.
20. By the time we got there, the report was that the generating set got faulty and they were paying one thousand-five hundred (1,500.00) Naira every day, while we were to stay with them for three good days: no water, no light in the entire Jos. In that area, there was no transformer, there was no electricity.
21. When I have heard too many reports, I went in. By my side was our former Pastor Nnamdi Ogboogu, and some other Elders that surrounded Me. I called Ben Adiuku, “Go and call your Elders before Me,” and they came.
22. I asked, “What do you say is the trouble?” They said, “To begin with, no light in Jos, the generator we hired is faulty. We made arrangement to get a better one and the woman disappointed us at the dying minute.”
23. I asked again, “What do you intend to use as light?” “We have reasoned together whether we can use lantern,” they said.
24. I said, “Before this large crowd, all the brethren from other place, including Lagos, Enugu and many other places; that will be horrible! Any other problem?”
25. They said, “Because there was no light, nothing could pump water so we would stay without water.”
26. “What of food?” I asked. They said that they have a little quantity of food, but no water to prepare it.
27. Sister Jessie was there too, and as that time her husband was still hostile to this Faith.
28. I said, “Okay, gentlemen, can you please show Me the hall you have prepared that will accommodate this crowd?” They showed the hall to Me, showed Me where Sisters will stay, while the Brothers will make use of the main hall. I said, “No problem, let me go and see the hall.”
29. They followed Me to that hall, the whole Elders from the Northern States, even from Zonkwa—elderly men and women, some aged over 70 and 80 years old, even mothers.
30. We stepped into that hall, I entered and they followed. I surveyed the hall and said, “Okay, no problem. The Lord will make a way for us. Okay can we go out?” Because many were following at the back.
31. What is more, immediately I came down, everywhere cam, cam, cam, cam, cam, cam; that is, electric light everywhere as the whole electric bulbs came alive with light—all of them.
32. You see, our Bishop Moses and Elder Yusuf, all of them, what I heard was: Na Him! na Him! na Him! na Him! na Him! while I went away.
33. Before we knew it they formed into different dancing groups and the elderly men came in their own dancing group, the ladies came, mothers came, the youths equally came there, we heard many songs, we heard many, many things—group by group.
34. I said, “Brethren, relax your minds, let Me go and see your store and see the food items.”
35. We went there and discovered that the store was basically empty. I looked around and called their Pastor, Pastor Joe Ukpong who is now a Bishop.
36. I said, “Pastor Joe, tell me the truth, when you read about the miracle of Jesus Christ feeding multitudes with few loaves of bread, did you believe it?” He said, “Master, I believed it.”
37. I said, “This is the little food intended for this crowd?” He said yes. I asked, “Where are the Sisters that will cook the food?” He showed Me the Sisters.
38. I said, “Okay, feel free, do not complain, do not murmur until the last grain of rice, Garri or anything, until the last tuber of Yam is finished, do not come to Me to complain; go into cooking. Concerning water, do you have drums to collect water?”
39. They said, “No, but there is a dry well over there.” I said, “The water will flow as ordinary flood, there is nothing that can collect it. This is the problem.” Then I said, “Relax, few hours from now there is going to be a downpour that will fill this well. Once it is filled, come and tell Me in my cubicle;” then I left.
40. You see, the heat was too much with some Elders. Apostle Kelechi, Onyema Njom, Pastor Dan and some others were all there with Me—they were witnesses.
41. I went back, looked up and looked down, then the weather changed. As the weather changed, in less than ten minutes, the fountain opened from above and there was a heavy downpour for two hours, non-stop.
42. Now watch what happened, immediately the well was filled, the rain stopped.
43. I thank God, God can never do anything without a witness. I want to testify more. You know there are many reasons why we do not go this way.
44. I TOLD YOU IF NOT FOR GOD WHO GAVE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTION; IF I SHOULD BEHAVE LIKE THEM OVER THERE (THOSE IN THE WORLD), NOBODY WILL HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT CHURCH. I KNOW WHAT I WILL DO AND THE WHOLE WORLD WILL FOLLOW ME, BUT FAR BE IT FROM ME. If I should try it, it was a necessity.
45. They invited my attention; we all went there where the well was, lo and behold, it was filled with grass because it was during the harmattan, not raining season; it was during harmattan.
46. When we got there, I said “Gentlemen, remove these grasses.” They used hands to remove the grasses that filled that ditch for it was a school compound filled with human faeces, animal dung. It was located almost inside mobile police barracks—a secondary school and it was during the holidays.
47. Thus, I looked at that water as rough as it was, dipped my hand inside, took the water into my mouth and commanded the Sisters, “Take water here and prepare the food. Everybody should eat and drink from this water, take your bathe from this water, nothing will happen.”
48. During and after the meeting, nobody complained of diarrhoea. One afternoon like that, they said the water has gone down. I said, “Okay, give Me fifteen minutes, let me come down from the pulpit.”
49. I came down from the pulpit. Another shower for two hours filled the well again. All of us drank from that well, took our bathe, and prepared food. What is more, nobody bought food from outside, everybody ate to his or her satisfaction.
50. In the morning when we were about to go, the food that was distributed to people—raw food—was by far greater than the food that was purchased.
51. I cannot forget this testimony, there was a wedding that took place in Jerusalem, the brother was poor, he had no money and we assisted him. We only bought half bag of rice.
52. Mrs. Ike, Sister Joshua and few Sisters helped in the cooking and before then, they have already come to Me and said, “Daddy, we do not know how to share this food for it is too small, look at it.”
53. I said, “Okay, you have no problem. Give everybody food, give them whatever you have, anywhere it stops, we will go, we are not here for food.” They said Amen.
54. They continued sharing the food until everybody ate and there was still a leftover.
55. During our camp meetings, there was no camp meeting the miracle never took place. However, we are not in this Church because of these things, these things happen so that we will jointly glorify God. These were the things, when our counterfeit brethren left—because they were eyewitnesses and beneficiaries—they attributed these miracles to the Devil.
56. They said that I went to India and collected talisman from India, that that is what I am using to do these miracles. I said glory be to God. Finish!
57. We are under the Canopy, not ordinary canopy but under the Canopy of God. IF YOU ARE WITH ME AND FROM YEAR TO YEAR, MONTH TO MONTH, WEEK TO WEEK NOTHING EXTRA-ORDINARY COMES YOUR WAY PERSONAL CONCERNING THIS FAITH, QUERY YOUR MEMBERSHIP, MAYBE YOU HAVE NO CALLING.
58. IF YOU ARE WITH ME IN THIS FAITH, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT MOST OF THE THINGS YOU WILL HEAR ME SAY, BEFORE I WILL SAY THEM, YOU HAVE ALREADY HOOKED UP WITH THEM. SOMETIMES, PRIVATE DISCUSSIONS YOU HELD WITH PEOPLE WILL BE X-RAYED TO THE POINT THAT PEOPLE WILL BE SUSPECTING YOU, THAT YOU MUST HAVE REVEALED THE SECRET.
59. We are not following cunningly devised fables. We do not share testimonies because we do not want your faith to be established on testimonies; we want your faith to be established on the Holy Word of God.
60. When somebody has seen the truth, benefited from the truth, testify to the same truth before many witnesses and turned round to call it Devil, he has crossed the divide (an unpardonable sin). He is now in the region of the lost straight away.
SUSTAINED BY MY EXPERIENCE
61. “We are The Children of the Prophet,” “…If we are the children of the prophet, that goes to show that there are no human beings on Earth that can understand and interpret prophetic statements than us. It will take children of the prophet to understand prophecies.”
62. God’s children watch out for prophecies, that is why in the time of Jesus the Christ, they always ask Him, “Are you the one that should come because a prophecy said that Elias will come first.”
63. Only the sons and daughters of the Prophets understand prophetic statements. It will take children of the Prophets to understand the mind of God, and the mind of God is always revealed to the Prophet. Because the Lord our God will do nothing without first revealing it to His own Prophets.
64. If we begin to testify of what has happened in this Faith, no book in the whole world can contain it. Where do we begin? Should we testify the one that happened in Onitsha, in our families or in Isi-Alangwa, or Eha-Amufu, Enugu, Lagos, Jos, Zonkwa, Essen, or Umuhia? Tell Me where we shall begin?
65. I remember that great day in Eha-Amufu. In that night, mothers were commanded to come in with their children that the enemy was outside, that he could not operate inside. We were hearing the noise, it attacked our public address system. He (God in our Midst) said, “This is the much he (the enemy) can do. Come inside, I assure you your life is secured.”
66. Before we knew it, the anointing was high, spirits were attacked, before our eyes we heard a very great hit on the window bar! And the window shattered. Window shattered!
67. Brethren wanted to run away—that was exactly one o’clock in the morning—but the Voice said, “Do not run, sit down, that is the much he can do. He will never come in here BECAUSE I AM HERE.”
68. Now, how can somebody begin to tell me that I am deceived? Can the Devil fight against the Devil? No sir! Any day the Devil fights against Devil, the kingdom is now divided and it can no longer stand.
69. Sustained by my experience. You see why the exit of anybody means nothing to us.
70. As a result, you Roman Catholics that are still in this most holy Faith, that you believe in purgatory or not, the earlier you go out the better for you. We have known you; we know all you can do. The highest thing you can do is to kill the flesh, and there you stop. However, we fear the One that can kill the flesh and put the soul into eternal Hellfire. This should be our dread, this should be my fear not you. Finish!
71. Too many Heads of State are in the prison yard, too many politicians are in the prison yard, in police cells, in army cell and so on; so nobody is frightening anybody with it; provided it is for the cause of Christ, no problem.
72. “You are the children of the Prophets” Volume two, pages 63 from verse 21: “You are the children of the prophets and of the covenant that was made unto your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Nobody can deceive you, where is he coming from? Nobody can deceive you, where is he coming from, where is the man coming from that will deceive you?
73. Who gave power to the person, even if he is coming from the sky, he cannot contradict the Scriptures. Do you know that even angels from Heaven can never contradict the Bible? Glory be to God!
74. Our time is very, very surely that is why I keep on telling people wherever I go that the Church where I worship my God is built on a firm foundation, it cannot sink. Though there is tempest, let there be ….. Let there be great wind, surely the foundation can never be wrath, impossible. Nothing can shake it, that is the Church. This is because we were sealed in … that can never be old.”
75. Brethren, let Me show you the history of the photograph of the Pillar of Cloud as documented by our former Bishop Okey Nwankpa.
76. “Behold the Man of Sin,” page 232, verse 91-: “THE PILLAR OF CLOUD/FIRE PHOTOGRAPH (07/04/1996). We have heard the Apostle many a time under anointing speaking of the Rainbow, or Pillar of Cloud or Fire being present in the camp as in the day of old (Ex.13:21; 33:9; Neh.9:12; Ps.99:7: Acts 9:3).
77. The only time we witnessed His presence physically was that early morning of January 1st 1995, when the camp meeting of Dec. ’94 ended. Many other great events have transpired amongst us since then, which cannot be written ordinarily with ink and paper.
78. We remember a time when the sun was commanded to shine to enable baptism that was being interrupted by rainfall to take place, and a strong sunshine came up as early as eight O’clock in the morning hotter than afternoon sun, till our brother asked the Lord to reduce the strength, which immediately took place. Very many things transpired during the short period of three years and plus. Storms obeyed the Voice of God’s servant. Many sick were healed. And many other supernatural events. Very many indeed, proving our God to be the same among the believers.
79. After our brother and Apostle of Christ our Lord has spoken to the Church on the ‘Revelations of Christ, and Son of Man’, and at the end of it the Church was asked to come with cameras in order to know who has been in our midst all these years. For the first time we were permitted to come into the Church with cameras, because the Lord forbade us from doing so, in order for us to be free from pride because of what He is doing in our midst.
80. Another time camera was permitted was during the launching of our maiden publication. There was no other record of any coming into the Church with camera or video except on these two occasions alone. The result of the camera of the 7th April, 1996 is attached hereon for all to see and judge. God revealed Himself around His servant and in the midst of His congregation in the form of ‘Pillar of Cloud, Pillar of Fire, and Ball of Fire’.
81. CONCLUSION: ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever’ (Heb.13:8, KJV). All that we have written herein is to let the whole world see that God is still the same and keeps His Word. We are not trying to lift up any man or group of persons. This is an honest attempt to let the whole world know that we have been restored to the Acts of the Apostles, and that Christ our Lord is still working in the midst of His people in the power of His resurrection.
82. The Church of Acts represents Christ whereas the false Church represents anti-Christ. The scene is set for a showdown as foretold by the prophets of God concerning this end time.
83. Therefore, let every seed of God hide himself under the true Church of God which has manifested around the globe, and is only Identified by the true doctrine, life and power of Christ our Lord in their midst. God has equipped His Church fully with His Army according to Eph.4:11, KJV.
84. These Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers have been manifested to lead God’s Church, Home to Glory. I thank God who has given me a privilege to be a co-worker with His vindicated Apostle; Bro. Peter Odoemena. Thanks.
85. ‘You see the reaction of it here in the Church – acts just like it did when it was on Earth in the flesh of the Son of God. Now it’s on Earth in the flesh of the adopted sons of God, bringing the Church together for the Son of God to come get a Bride.’ William. Branham, Jehovah Jireh 3/8/60, YAKMA’
86. … And the third time it became part of us in the Holy Ghost dwelling in us. God coming into the man first spoke the Word. The Enemy tore it down. Then the Word was made flesh. He was crucified. But now, there’s a difference in the Word. The Word is become the Church and the Church is the Word … God. All that God was He poured into Christ All that Christ was He poured into the Church by the Holy Ghost’ (Wm. Branham, Put On the Whole Armour of God, 6/6/62).
87. ‘… Man is omnipotent, you don’t believe that, but he is. A man fully surrendered to God is Omnipotent. Did not He say in Mark 11:22, ‘Whatsoever things you say and don’t doubt in your heart, it’ll come to pass. You can have what you’ve said.’ What happen, when two Omnipotences meet? When God and man come together through Omnipotence, something is got to shake… Whatsoever you’d say with that creative power of Omnipotence of God, knowing that out yonder and brings things to pass; things that is not, it makes them as though they are, because two Omnipotence have met. There He stands! Oh, isn’t He wonderful!’ (The Revelation of Jesus Christ, page 123).
88. The Commendation Letter of the Apostolic Ministry is found in the following Scriptures 2Cor.3:1-6; Gal.4:19; Co11.l:25-29; Eph.3:17; 2Cor.11:2-3, the apostles are jealous of God’s children, they desire to see no other thing in them except Christ. The apostolic ministry did not come to raise denominations rather it manifested to raise individuals for Christ. Their commendation letter is to see Christians that are ‘written epistles read of all men, manifested Sons of God, Christ on two feet’. THIS IS OUR STAND, AND THE WORK HAS BEEN FINISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
