Preached on SATURDAY, 23RD SEPTEMBER, 1995 At THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN “THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE” “Truth has no substitute” © BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLD-WIDE

TRUE UNITY IS ONLY FOUND IN CHRIST
As servants of God, do not misuse your liberty in Christ. Romans 2:28 – 29. Amplified Version. 28For he is not a [real] Jew [not a True believer] who is only one outwardly and publicly, nor is [true] circumcision something external and physical.
2. 29But he is a Jew [a True believer] who is one inwardly, and [true] circumcision is of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal [matter]. His praise is not from men but from God.
3. Those whose praises are from men and not from God, they work in what I may call “Legalism.” That is the flesh in doctrines of man and the devil, rather than living by the Perfect Law of liberty which is: LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF IN CHRIST.
4. Being not by the Holy Spirit, they have been subtly, led by Satan to walk by sight and not by faith. To such people, I say read with Me Galatians 3:3. Amplified Version.
5. Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? Having begun [your new life spiritually] with the [Holy] Spirit, are you now reaching perfection [by dependence] on the flesh?
6. This deception of Satan to these Churches to depend upon external rules and regulations made by men instead of being led by the Holy Spirit, has today done more to drive people away from the true Church than anything else.
7. Romans 2:23 – 24. Living Bible. 23 You are so proud of knowing God’s laws, but you dishonor him by breaking them. 24 No wonder the Scriptures say that the world speaks evil of God because of you.
8. This satanic strategy has kept the members of the organized, counterfeit Church from desiring the baptism of the Holy Spirit proper, and His true gifts.
9. It has been a stumbling block to keep the world from seeing the power of the true Faith of Christ, to keep unbelievers from desiring and receiving the true Gospel of Christ which is according to godliness and holiness and sincerity.
10. Unbelievers have eyes to see the hypocrisy in the counterfeit Churches today and avoid exchanging their present worldly bondage for what religion wants.
11. The Bible said in Matthew 23:13 – 15, Living Bible, 13-14 “WOE TO YOU, PHARISEES, AND YOU OTHER RELIGIOUS LEADERS.
12. Who I may call today General Superintendents, General Overseers, Pastors and whatever you may call them.
13. Hypocrites! For you won’t let others enter the Kingdom of Heaven and won’t go in yourselves.
14. And you pretend to be holy, with all your long, public prayers in the streets, while you are evicting widows from their homes. Hypocrites!
15. 15 Yes, woe upon you hypocrites. For you go to all lengths to make one convert, and then turn him into twice the son of hell you are yourselves.
16. Holy Spirit life and the Church hold God’s greatest potentials to bring the true Gospel of Christ to all the world.
17. In Mark 16:15, they are equipped with God’s mighty power through His Holy Spirit with true spiritual weapons of warfare to reveal and destroy works of Satan.
18. 15And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race].
19. 16He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved [ from the penalty of eternal death]; but he who does not believe [who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] will be condemned. AMP
20. 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ; but he that believeth not shall be damned. KJV
21. Therefore, Satan has focused his greatest full force, works of lies and deception and destruction where the Holy Spirit dwells. Satan is determined to stop the work of the Holy Spirit in the True Bride of Christ in the hour we are living in, but God will see them [His children] through.
22. The Apostle Paul said and I read in Ephesians 6:12 from the Living Bible. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies—the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world.
23. We are not fighting flesh and blood. We are not fighting human beings, but we are fighting the spirit that is controlling human beings in these last days.
24. In 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, I read from the Living Bible. 3 It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to win my battles.
25. 4 I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. 5 These weapons can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding him.….
26. I would like to take you once again concerning this lukewarm, quenched group of people. This group can be recognized by their fears of looking foolish to the world.
27. They are self-conscious of exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit and many will not use their gifts of speaking in their heavenly language, speaking in tongues. They often say, “Religion has made us foolish.”
28. In 1 Corinthians 4:10, reading from the Living Bible, Religion has made us foolish, you say, but of course you are all such wise and sensible Christians! We are weak, but not you! You are well thought of, while we are laughed at.
29. 1 Corinthians 3:18 – 19. In Living Bible, I read. 18 Stop fooling yourselves. If you count yourself above average in intelligence, as judged by this world’s standards, you had better put this all aside and be a fool rather than let it hold you back from the true wisdom from above. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God…..
30. He asked once again in 1 Corinthians 14:18 reading from the Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible. I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all;
31. These lukewarm strangers have allowed the spirit of fear to hinder their witnesses. Ye are the light of the world, says The Almighty God in Matthew 5:14-15, reading from King James Version.
32. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
33. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven, even in your midst as a man. These counterfeit believers have qualities similar to the lukewarm, emotionally, but their short services are quieter and more subdued.
34. Rather than suffer embarrassment, they will let the needs of the people go unmet. They have no true sense of urgency, they are high-minded, possessing a false spiritual security which blinds men to their true spiritual condition, lukewarm and cooling off.
35. People only just go there to cover up, to cool off. After the heat of the day, they just go there emotionally, lukewarm in appearance. They are not believers and they are not heathens. A lukewarm believer. A dangerous believer. God will spew you out of His mouth.
36. That is why you must be hot. Do not allow Satan to deceive you in this evil age to make you weak and lukewarm, though you know the Truth, and you cannot stand for the Truth because of the fear of the people and what you will suffer. I say, God forbid!
37. 1 Thessalonians 5:19 – 20. Amplified version. The Apostle Saint Paul said, 19Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit; 20Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets [do not depreciate prophetic revelations nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning].
38. I still continue in Ephesians 6:19-20. NIV 19Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
39. Many of these Lukewarm believers were let out of the tomb or these denominational fake Churches through the charismatic movement, but they have not experienced the complete revival or renewal and sanctification of the Holy Spirit to remove their denominational grave cloths from them and accept yet another bondage, changing Church from Catholic to Grace of God, from Grace of God to Baptist, from Baptist to Methodist.
40. You cannot jump out from Anglican Church as long as you were dead in the dead Anglican Communion, Roman Catholicism until you allow the Word of God to take away the garment they used in wrapping you there.
41. When Jesus told Lazarus, “Come forth!”, he came forth from the grave tied with old garments they wrapped him with. He [Jesus] said, “loose him.”
42. The Word loosed Lazarus and yet, you could see all those miserable comforters, hypocrites and Pharisees coming back again. Those that sympathized in the death of Lazarus, they came back only to put him back to death again.
43. What was their aim? To stop the Message of the little boy, Jesus Christ, from spreading lest they, the big Pharisees, big preachers that have been in the world all this while; lest their popularity will be made nonsense; lest they be discredited.
44. They do not want the sayings of the little boy to spread abroad. They went back to put Lazarus back to the grave. The same thing they are doing today to the Bride of Christ that is holding the unadulterated Truth on the land.
45. All these Pentecostal men and women, all these General Overseers and General Superintendents that own their business houses which they call their Churches, they have vowed, they are all out to put the Bride back again into organized religion.
46. How? They are now influencing Governments to make a law. They are influencing governments of all nations to make a law that will bring all Christians together and all Churches together. Ecumenical movement on the land. Come together, we are one.
47. WE ARE NOT ONE. COME OUT OF SUCH GROUPS. IT IS A FALSE UNITY. UNITY OUTSIDE THE WORD OF GOD IS FALSE UNITY. IT IS BALAAM RELIGION. IT IS COMPROMISE. GOD’S HAND IS NOT WITH IT. COME OUT OF THAT FALSE UNITY.
48. Come together, we are one. Let us take away our differences. Let us do away with doctrines and then be one.
49. HOW CAN YOU DO AWAY WITH DOCTRINES AND BE ONE? IT IS FALSE UNITY, BECAUSE DOCTRINE IS LIFE. IT IS DOCTRINE THAT SEPARATES CHRIST FROM THE DEVIL.
50. It is doctrine that separates Catholics from other Churches. It is doctrine that separates one Church from another. Doctrine is life. Without the doctrine of Christ, we all will perish.
51. That is why there is a warning, “IF ANY MAN COMES INTO YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST OUR LORD, DO NOT WELCOME HIM INTO YOUR HOUSE. DO NOT OFFER HIM ‘GOD BLESS YOU.’ DO NOT OFFER HIM BROTHERLY HANDSHAKE. DO NOT WISH HIM WELL.”
52. He that wishes him well becomes a partaker of his sin. But today, believers will not rise up to obey these Scriptures. Rather, they will compromise their holy and high calling. What a nonsense? What a mess?
53. I say, God, help Me and help My Brethren. Help My hearers. The world we are living in is full of evil. Amen.

CRY AGAINST THE SYSTEM (1)
Galatians 5:1 1In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].
2. Some are still associated with the denominational Churches and hold fast to their various teachings and doctrines, although they are contrary to the teaching of the Holy Scriptures.
3. Some of them still teach that women can go about preaching, when the Bible said, “No! A woman has no right to preach. They should learn in silence.”
4. Some even allow women to put on their headgears as a covering over their heads, when the Bible said that the long hair is given unto the woman as a covering over her head.
5. Some are still teaching that baptism should be in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy ghost, teaching God as three persons in one God, when the Bible said THE LORD YOUR GOD IS ONE LORD.
6. Baptism in the Bible was done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, for there is no other name in Heaven and on earth given among men whereby you can be saved except Christ, for we shall do all things in deed and in action, in every way, all in the name of Christ, for that is the ONLY WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. No man cometh unto the Father but by Him.
7. The Apostles taught that. And the Bible said, “They that believe the Word of God were baptized and they continued in the Apostles’ doctrines.” But today, people are no longer mindful of the Apostles’ doctrines.
8. They do not want to continue in the Apostles’ doctrine. Rather they have heaped for themselves their own teachers, having itching ears, fulfilling the Word of God that in the latter days, some shall depart from the Word of God, giving heed to doctrines of demons and to seducing spirits.
9. They still go about holding fake, fake doctrines that cannot be balanced in the Holy Bible, teachings that are carved out by human ideas and human philosophies, human opinions, carnal-minded people interpreting the Holy Bible when the Bible said the Word is of no private interpretation.
10. I pity you if you are still in the denominations. After hearing this Message, do not allow Satan to deceive you to remain there even one bit. Just come out of them and be ye separate and God will bless you.
11. They are all motivated to interrelate with all others. That is ecumenical movement. Christian denominational Churches creating a false bond of worldly unity.
12. Each one allows the other to hold on to foundational doctrines which each considers to be centre point of his denominational faith, even if it is not the truth or the true Gospel.
13. This universal compromise with the word of God and the true Gospel of Christ is considered by these modern day religionists, hypocrites of our day to be the hope of unified Church.
14. TRUE UNITY IS TO BE FOUND IN CHRIST ALONE, THE WORD OF GOD AND WILL ONLY COME THROUGH THE WORKS OF THE CROSS IN EACH BELIEVERS’ LIFE.
15. 1 John 1:7. But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].
16. Ephesians 2:13 – 14. 13But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were [so] far away, through (by, in) the blood of Christ have been brought near. 14For He [Christ] is [Himself] our peace (our bond of unity and harmony)…… AMP
17. 2 Timothy 3:5. I read from the Amplified version. For [although] they hold a form of piety…
18. Which means godliness.
19. (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].
20. Satan has unleashed an underlying spirit into the Churches or live and let live and everything will come out alright in the spiritual work. This is a spirit of false tolerance. Live and let live. God hates such whoredom spirits. It is spiritual fornication.
21. DO NOT MINGLE WITH EVIL. DO NOT MINGLE WITH FALSEHOOD. DISSOCIATE YOURSELVES FROM EVERY APPEARANCES OF FALSEHOOD. COME OUT FROM EVERY ORGANIZED DENOMINATION, EVERY ORGANIZED RELIGION AND GOD WILL RECEIVE YOU UNTO HIMSELF.
22. Galatians 2:5. Amplified version. To them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, that the truth of the Gospel might continue to be [preserved] for you [in its purity].
23. Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. KJV
24. Pursuing false unity is much easier and safer than preaching and standing resolutely in the unadulterated Truth. Our Lord Jesus Christ and all of His true followers did it, never compromising nor denying the truth, even in the face of death.
25. Saint Paul the Apostle said and I read 2 Corinthians 13:5 – 8. Amplified version. 5Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ].
26. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you–unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?
27. 6But I hope you will recognize and know that we are not disapproved on trial and rejected.
28. 7But I pray to God that you may do nothing wrong, not in order that we [our teaching] may appear to be approved, but that you may continue doing right, [though] we may seem to have failed and be unapproved.
29. 8For we can do nothing against the Truth [not serve any party or personal interest], but only for the Truth [which is the Gospel].
30. These lukewarm inter-denominationalists encourage putting on worldly Christian denominations and their doctrines into a body and it is creating one giant helping of false unity and spiritual adultery.
31. TRULY, COMPROMISE IS THE POISON INJECTED BY SATAN INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, CREATING THE COUNTERFEIT CHURCH. MANY OF THE SEEDS OF COMPROMISE BEING PLANTED TODAY WILL GIVE RISE TO SUPER ANTI-CHRIST CHURCH IN THE END TIME.
32. I REPEAT. WHAT ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT WILL PRODUCE IN THIS LAST AGE, IN THIS END TIME IS NOTHING BUT THE SUPER COUNTERFEIT ANTI-CHRIST CHURCH THAT WILL RISE UP TO PERSECUTE, PROSECUTE, DESTABILIZE AND KILL THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, THE TRUE CHURCH.
33. For that reason, I read 2 Timothy 1:13 – 14. Amplified version of the Bible. 13Hold fast and follow the pattern of wholesome and sound teaching which you have heard from me, in [all] the faith and love which are [for us] in Christ Jesus.
34. 14Guard and keep [with the greatest care] the precious and excellently adapted [Truth] which has been entrusted [to you], by the [help of the] Holy Spirit Who makes His home in us.
35. In 2 Thessalonians 2:15, I read from the New International Version [NIV]. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter [which is Epistles].
36. 2 Thessalonians 3:6 Amplified version. Now we charge you, brethren, in the name and on the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) that you withdraw and keep away from every brother (fellow believer) who is slack in the performance of duty and is disorderly, living as a shirker and not walking in accord with the traditions and instructions that you have received from us.
37. Of the three categories of believers I mentioned to you, these lukewarm inter-denominationalists seemingly have the greatest momentum in the end time. I want you to note it. INTER-DENOMINATIONALISTS.
38. They have the greatest force and power in this end time, because they say, unity is strength. Satan has the greatest potential for doing the most severe damage through this movement because it is through this movement that government is going to hear from them and make a law that any Church that does not come into this umbrella with them will be completely eradicated from the earth.
39. If anybody should resist, that person will be punished even unto death. Government is going to make such a law. The hand of the government is behind the movement.
40. Dearly beloved believers, rise up now before it is too late. CRY OUT AGAINST THE SYSTEM. I say, CRY OUT AGAINST THE SYSTEM. Do not close your mouth.
41. Only true repentance can redeem those involved in this mounting satanic deception. Only true, genuine repentance will save them. Otherwise, God will punish them at last.
42. Let us read from the prophet Ezekiel 22:25 – 26. Amplified version. 25There is a conspiracy of [Israel’s false] prophets in the midst of her, like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken [in their greed] treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of her. 26Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things.
43. They have made no distinction between the sacred and the secular, neither have they taught people the difference between the unclean and the clean and have hid their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
44. What an awful picture for men of God so called. Self-appointed men of God that cannot differentiate between evil and good. No wonder Isaiah said in Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness,…..
45. I read Matthew 24:11 – 13. Amplified version. 11And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error. 12And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, 13But he who endures to the end will be saved.
46. THE TRUE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST IN THIS END TIME WILL NOT EMERGE THROUGH COMPROMISE, FALSE UNITY OR FALSE DOCTRINE. IT WILL COME FORTH AS AN EXPLOSION.
47. I REPEAT. THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST IN THIS END TIME WE ARE LIVING IN WILL COME FORTH AS AN EXPLOSION.
48. IT WILL EMERGE AS AN EXPLOSION OF THE RESURRECTION POWER OF CHRIST, FLOWING THROUGH ALL TRUE BELIEVERS WHO ARE STANDING AND SEEKING THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH WITH SEVERE PERSECUTION AND SUFFERING FOLLOWING THEM BECAUSE THAT IS THE WAY OF THE MASTER.
49. THE MASTER SAID, [WHICH IS CHRIST] THAT “A SERVANT CAN NEVER BE GREATER THAN HIS MASTER.” IF THEY HAVE PERSECUTED ME, THEY WILL PERSECUTE YOU. IF THEY HATED ME, THEY WILL HATE YOU.
50. IF THEY CALLED ME CHIEF OF THE DEVIL, BEELZEBUB, THEY WILL CALL YOU EVEN MORE THAN THAT. IF THEY KILLED ME THEY WILL KILL YOU. IF THEY LAUGHED AT ME, THEY WILL LAUGH AT YOU. IF THEY SCOURGED ME, THEY WILL SCOURGE YOU ALSO. FOR A SERVANT CAN NEVER BE GREATER THAN HIS MASTER.
51. FAITH IN CHRIST WITHOUT SUFFERING AND PERSECUTION IS COUNTERFEIT. FAITH IN CHRIST IS NEVER BUILT ON PROSPERITY AS COUNTERFEIT PREACHERS ARE MAKING PEOPLE TO BELIEVE TODAY.
52. FAITH IN CHRIST WITHOUT SUFFERING IS FAKE. FAITH IN CHRIST WITHOUT PERSECUTION IS FAKE. WHATEVER MADE THE EARLY APOSTLES BELIEVERS IN CHRIST IS THE SAME THING THAT WILL MAKE US BELIEVERS IN CHRIST TODAY, FOR FAITH IN CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER. IT HAS NEVER CHANGED. CHRIST, THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVERMORE.
53. I STILL MAINTAIN THAT THESE TRUE BELIEVERS WILL OVERCOME THE DEVIL. THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, IN THE FACE OF PERSECUTION, IS NEVER DISCOURAGED. WE KEEP MARCHING ON.
54. IN IMPRISONMENT, IN TURMOIL, IN RIOTING, IN NECESSITIES, THEY WILL KEEP MARCHING ON AND THEY MUST SURELY PREVAIL, FOR THE GATES OF THE KINGDOM OF HELL WILL NEVER PREVAIL AGAINST THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD.
55. I thank God for preserving His Word, even till this day. I read Revelations 12:11. King James Version. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
56. Saint Matthew 10:22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
57. Today, who has hated these worldly preachers? They are friends of the world. They are friends of the government. They are friends of the world. And the Bible said, “When you make yourselves friends of the world, you become God’s own enemies.”
58. How can somebody love the world and love Christ at the same time? How can somebody please this sinful world and please Christ at the same time? Impossible for God to tell lies. Impossible for God to tell lies. Yes sir!
59. It is important to add here My friends that true believers and leaders, Apostolic men of God, called and dedicated men of God, are scattered in the midst of these counterfeit Churches, but they are there for compromising. But now is the time for them to come out.
60. There are some spirit-filled believers, Pastors and men of God in these fake Churches. I believe there are many of them. But they are there compromising. They know that the hand of God is no longer in that counterfeit Church where they are. They know that they are wasting their precious time.
61. My friends, if you fall within this category, you witness the evils, you know you cannot change it, you have tried your best, why can’t you come out from that system? Why can’t you come out of her and be ye separate. And then, God will surely bless you.
62. God has left us with a remnant. The day has now come for these true believers to stand up for the true Gospel of Christ. They will really suffer persecution and be excluded from the company of those fake Churches.
63. I bet you, there is no way you can rise up in that Church where you are sitting down now, knowing the evil that is going on there and you speak against it, rise up against it, they will either repent and be saved or they will push you out of that Church.
64. And it is better they push you out of it than for you to stay there and receive God’s condemnation at last.
65. THE VOICE CRYING FROM THIS WILDERNESS IS SHOUTING, COME OUT FROM EVERY ORGANIZED RELIGIOUS GROUP. IT IS MAN-MADE. IT IS EARTHLY! IT IS CARNAL! IT IS SENSUAL! IT LEADS TO EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION!
66. THE EVIL THAT IS GOING ON AMONG THEM WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY ARE ALL MAN-MADE. A MAN IS TAKING THE GLORY THEREOF. HIRED PASTORS HERE AND THERE. HIRED PREACHERS. AMEN.
67. The greatest appeal to compromise for cold unbelievers, for the lukewarm Churchgoers today is the end time message of material prosperity. The foundational teachings of Faith presented with this Message are sound and beneficial, but the true believers have been stretched into a popular deception.
68. Although they may have some partial truths there in those little little denominational groups, but the emphasis is not laid on holy living, righteous living, perfect living in the sight of God.
69. Rather, the attention of men and women are being diverted to material prosperity, carnality controlling men and women, young and old alike. Nobody is spared.
70. 1 Timothy 6:3 – 10. 3 If anyone teaches otherwise [false doctrines] and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
71. 5 and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
72. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
73. 9 Those [people]who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
74. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
75. Satan tempts and deceives man with the material pleasures and possessions of the world. He does this by playing upon man’s weakness. The lust of the mind, the pride of life, the prosperity sense which is especially exciting to new and un-renewed believers.
76. It offers these believers the best of both worlds: The Kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. You enjoy prosperity. You enjoy the kingdom of the world and the kingdom of Satan. And then, you forfeit the Kingdom of God. You enjoy this present world and you lose eternal life.
77. Life here on earth is just for a season. Watch people in their crave for materialism. They behave as if they will take money and possessions into the Kingdom of God. They behave as if they will carry their mansions and industries into Heaven.
78. In their crave for money, they forget everything about God. They can close their eyes and tell lies in the name of Jesus, tell lies in hypocrisy, to dupe, to extort money.
79. The Bible said that the Faith of Christ does not make a man rich, but today, people now see the Faith of Christ as a way of making money. A way of becoming millionaires. After all, there is no auditor that will audit the accounts.
80. Any man that is tired of contributing money to the Church, he goes away without asking for the refund of money. And, by so doing, they dupe innocent individuals.
81. For every prayer they make, they require money. Every convention, they require money. Dedication of a child, they require money and material. Presentation of motor cars, they require money and materials. For wedlock, they require money to approve weddings. Everything is money, money, money.
82. Where are we going with money? Money is the root of all evils. People that are desiring to get rich, they fall away from the Faith so easily and they are easily ensnared.
83. Will they believe that? Some body will say, “Brother do you not love money?” I say, “I love money, but money is My messenger.” But today, people are messengers of money. If money will tell them to steal, they will steal. Money will tell them to kill, they will kill.
84. But money should be your messenger. Whatever is your need for money, you will get it. But today, whatever money needs, people will get it, only to get money. Woe unto such people. Woe unto such preachers.
85. I know I am hated already because of it. Amen.

CRY AGAINST THE SYSTEM (2)
I want to read 1 John 2:15 – 16. 15Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.
2. 16For all that is in the world–the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things]–these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself].
3. Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in)
4. Satan has injected the spirit of materialism and greed into the Churches creating weakness and spiritual obesity. In fact, what is going on in all those counterfeit, man-made, earthly Churches today, engenders weakness in a believer causing him to subtly begin depending on the resources of the world all for support and security. Satan has thus deceived him into walking by sight and no longer by faith.
5. I read once again. James chapter 5:1 – 3 and 5 from the Amplified version of the Holy Bible. 1COME NOW, you rich [people], weep aloud and lament over the miseries (the woes) that are surely coming upon you.
6. 2Your abundant wealth has rotted and is ruined, and your [many] garments have become moth-eaten.
7. 3Your gold and silver…
8. Your naira and kobo; your dollar and pound sterling.
9. …are completely rusted through, [and their value dropping fast] and their rust will be testimony against you and it will devour your flesh as if it were fire.
10. You have heaped together treasure for the last days…
11. So that poverty will no longer be mentioned in your family lineage forever] …
12. ……5[Here] on earth you have abandoned yourselves to soft (prodigal) living and to [the pleasures of] [this life] self-indulgence and self-gratification. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.
13. You are just fattening your hearts, awaiting the day God will slaughter you. If you are rich, I do not condemn you but know how to use your riches to glorify God; to serve God.
14. Otherwise, your riches will bring condemnation to you on the last day. Christ is coming soon to reap, to harvest the earth. Where will you find yourself?
15. My dear listener! How I love you this day. If only you can pay heed to this Voice roaring from this Wilderness. If you can listen to this Voice roaring from this Wilderness this morning, I believe it is not in vain.
16. This material weakness is weaving like a giant green thread through the fake counterfeit Churches, offering false hopes and false motivations to serve God, subtly suggesting to Churchgoers, “If you are materially prospered, you are a godly person or blessed by God.”
17. This is not a true indication of true Faith in Christ as preachers preach, for these will they apply to everyone living in Beverly Hills or living in poverty or other prosperous areas or living in GRAs [Government Reserved Areas] or in citadel houses in the world, that they are doing good.
18. PROSPERITY IS NEVER A TICKET TO HEAVEN. IF PROSPERITY IS A TICKET TO HEAVEN, LET IT BE KNOWN TO YOU MY HEARERS THAT THE ACCOUNT JESUS GAVE CONCERNING LAZARUS WAS A FAKE ONE.
19. But I am sure and certain that the testimony given by Jesus concerning Brother Lazarus is truth.
20. Revelation 3:17. Amplified version. For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked [spiritually].
21. These materially prosperous Christians in their fake Churches today in Nigeria and all over the world are not the true reflection of Christ to the world. In true love, the believers all over the world pray for persecution and suffering for the Saints, not only in Nigeria, but all over the world, so that they will be truly prospered spiritually.
22. PERSECUTION IS A SIGN THAT FOLLOWS THE SAINTS AND NOT PROSPERITY. Note the two P’s. PERSECUTION. PROSPERITY. One is opposed to the other. One is from God. One is from the devil. Watch the one that is controlling your life.
23. Revelations 3:18 Therefore, I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
24. Not prosperity. True believers should all seek their comfort, security and provisions from God alone through the Holy Spirit and not from the world store house of temporal blessing.
25. This will lead a believer to true prosperity, being steadfast, unshakeable, unwavering, patient, enduring afflictions and standing on the Rock of Salvation which is Christ. This is the true Message of prosperity taught by Christ our LORD and all His Apostles to the Churches, not material prosperity.
26. Follow me as we consider once again, Saint Matthew 16:25 – 26. Amplified version. Jesus said, 25For whoever is bent on saving his [temporal] life [his comfort and security here] shall lose it [eternal life]; and whoever loses his life [his comfort and security here] for My sake shall find it [life everlasting].
27. 26For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life [his blessed life in the kingdom of God]? Or what would a man give as an exchange for his [blessed] life [in the kingdom of God]?
28. Saint Matthew 10:22, 25. 22 Everyone shall hate you because you belong to me. Note!Everyone shall hate you because you belong to me. But all of you who endure to the end shall be saved…..
29. 25 The student [True Believer] shares his teacher’s fate. The servant [True Believer] shares his master’s! And since I, [Christ] the master of the household, have been called ‘Satan,’ how much more will you.
30. True Believers not be called more than that. This is the true prosperity Message taught by the Apostles Paul. I want you to listen as I read 2 Corinthians 6:4 – 10 from the Amplified version.
31. 4But we commend ourselves in every way as [true] servants of God: through great endurance, in tribulation and suffering, in hardships and privations, in sore straits and calamities,
32. 5In beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless watching, hunger; 6By innocence and purity, knowledge and spiritual insight, longsuffering and patience, kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in unfeigned love;
33. 7By [speaking] the word of truth, in the power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand [to attack] and for the left hand [to defend];
34. 8Amid honor and dishonor; in defaming and evil report and in praise and good report. [We are branded] as deceivers (impostors), and [yet vindicated as] truthful and honest.
35. 9[We are treated] as unknown and ignored [by the world], and [yet we are] well- known and recognized [by God and His people]; as dying, and yet here we are alive; as chastened by suffering and [yet] not killed;
36. 10As grieved and mourning, yet [we are] always rejoicing; as poor [ourselves, yet] bestowing riches on many; as having nothing, and [yet in reality] possessing all things.
37. This is the condition of the Apostles that ran this race of the Faith of Christ before us. Any man or woman that is claiming to be a preacher, a man of God or a believer that is not ready to go by this standard, to go by this rule, principle, to be in a position where he can see himself in this condition is not worthy to answer a believer of Christ and is not worthy to call himself a man of God.
38. This is because every man of God must have sufferings, must be misunderstood by religionists, by religious leaders.
39. The counterfeit Church is deceived to believe that material prosperity and social acceptance are fruits of the true Church. They also believe that suffering persecution and material poverty are signs of weakness and defeat.
40. They even go as far as saying that poverty is a curse, perverting the truth. Men of reprobate minds, destitute of Truth. Are we writing another Bible? Are we writing a new Bible? Is there a new God?
41. RUN AWAY FROM EVERY MODERN CHURCH. THERE IS NO MODERN CHURCH. THERE IS NO MODERN FAITH IN CHRIST. AND THERE IS NO MODERN GOD. WE MUST WORSHIP THE SAME OLD FASHIONED GOD IN THE SAME OLD FASHIONED WAY LIKE THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS THAT WERE BEFORE US.
42. AFTER ALL, FAITH IN CHRIST AND THE WORSHIP OF GOD DID NOT START WITH US. IT STARTED WITH SOME PEOPLE. WE ONLY RECEIVED THE BATON AND THAT SAME BATON WE STARTED WITH, THE SAME BATON WE SHALL COMPETE THE JOURNEY WITH. ANYTHING ELSE IS COUNTERFEIT. COME OUT FROM COUNTERFEIT CHURCH.
43. IN REALITY, SUFFERING AND PERSECUTION ARE SIGNS OF THE TRUE CHURCH BRETHREN. MY HEARERS, SUFFERING AND PERSECUTION, THEY ARE SIGNS THAT FOLLOW THE TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST. THEY ARE MISUNDERSTOOD. THEY ARE FALSELY ACCUSED BY RELIGIONISTS. RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. RELIGIOUS LEADERS.
44. WHO KILLED JESUS? WERE THEY NOT HIGH PRIESTS THAT SAID THEY BELIEVED MOSES? WHO ACCUSED JESUS CHRIST FALSELY? WERE THEY NOT RELIGIOUS LEADERS? THE PHARISEES! THE SCRIBES! THE SADDUCEES! MODERN PENTECOSTALS OF TODAY. COME OUT FROM COUNTERFEIT CHURCHES AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU.
45. Let Me read Revelation 2:8 – 10 from the New International Version of the Bible. 8 “….These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, [Christ] who died and came to life again.
46. 9 I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews [Fake believers. Counterfeit Churches.] and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan [Cage of unclean birds].
47. 10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. [True believers.] I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.
48. I thank God Almighty that My suffering as a Child of God will be only for ten days and then, even if I die, I will have a better resurrection and will be ushered into eternity with Christ and all the faithful Saints and Prophets.
49. I encourage you, fellow believers in Christ, Brothers in tribulation. Cheer up! Forget about what the world is offering you and look unto the Word of God. Bride in His Holy Word, forget what is going on in counterfeit Churches. Do not throw away the original because there are a lot of make-ups on the land.
50. The truth remains that God has preserved a remnant somewhere in the Wilderness and that is the Voice that is crying, COME OUT FROM EVERY ORGANIZED RELIGION. CRY OUT AGAINST THE FALSE UNITY. CRY OUT AGAINST THE SYSTEM. IT IS A CAGE. IT IS ANTI-CHRIST MOVEMENT. IT IS MARK OF THE BEAST. COME OUT FROM AMONG HER AND BE NOT PARTAKERS OF THEIR EVIL SO THAT THE WRATH OF GOD WILL NOT COME UPON YOU.
51. Watch them in their false Churches. Everything they do there is just legalistic. In these fake and counterfeit Churches, they lack the spirit of giving which goes on among them with its superficial commitment to Christ. They lack it completely.
52. These fake Churches still use Old Testament Scriptures of 10% or tithe to regulate their giving to the Church. Watch them! They do not even know the difference between the old covenant and the New Covenant. They yoke people under a curse, all in their attempt to make money.
53. Some go as far as calling members of their Church robbers, because they do not give them tithe. They do not know that in our dispensation, we are no longer under Levitical priesthood. We are now under a new priesthood in the order of Melchizedek and no longer in the order of Aaron.
54. They do not know that when Christ changed the law, He changed the priesthood. They do not know that Christ now, is our high priest. He is the high priest of our profession and that He came from the tribe of Judah where Moses said nothing concerning the priest.
55. They do not know that we are now the Priesthood from the tribe of Judah. We are no longer the Levitical priesthood: An idle and lazy priesthood. We are now industrious priesthood. We walk with our hands to earn our own living. And if there be any of us that does not want to work, let him not eat. That is what the Bible said.
56. But today, in all fake Churches, every pastor will say he is a full time pastor, a full time minister. Tell Me whether Saint Paul was not a full time minister. Timothy, Titus, Silas, Peter, Andrew, Bartholomew, Matthias, Luke, Matthew and the rest of them. They were all full time ministers and yet, the Bible said, “They worked with their hands to earn their own living that they may not be a burden to the Church.”
57. What example are you laying? Counterfeit Churches, laying bad examples, seducing the hearts of people away. They cannot give themselves to God. They are only wanting tithe and tithe and tithe, when they have not surrendered to Christ.
58. You have no right to give Christ anything until you give your life. God is not interested in your money, but He is interested in your soul, in your total commitment to His service.
59. When God rejects a man, He rejects his sacrifice. Giving is a sacrifice My friends. When God rejects you because of your sins, your unbelief, he rejects your sacrifice also. For the sacrifice of a sinner is an abomination unto the LORD.
60. Who will tell you this? In the counterfeit Churches, they only want your money. They want your presence and your money, not your eternal life, not your soul.
61. That is why among all Pentecostals and counterfeit Churches on the land today, the moment it comes to making money, every Tom Dick and Harry becomes a Christian. They will print their posters.
62. They will print their handbills, send out invitation letters and invite every traditional ruler, every government official, every heathen and pagan. Every millionaire will come to Church.
63. They will say they invited them to come so that they can preach to them or that they will preach salvation to them. No! That is falsehood. They want their money for foundation laying of their temple. They want their money for buying musical equipment. They want their money to enrich themselves. Blind preachers!
64. COME OUT FROM EVERY ORGANIZED RELIGION. COME OUT FROM THE DENOMINATIONS. CRY OUT AGAINST THE SYSTEM, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE THE WRATH OF GOD. LISTEN TO THE VOICE CRYING OUT FROM THE WILDERNESS THIS DAY AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU.
65. Watch them in their legalistic giving of tithe. These counterfeit Churches and believers, they still use Old Testament Scriptures of 10% or tithe to regulate their giving to the Church. Every one of them.
66. They keep to this legalistic pattern of giving rather than being in harmony with the New Covenant and really being led by the Holy Spirit. This pattern of giving gives rise to a subtle sense of high-mindedness or high-handedness.
67. The Bible said, “Mind not high things. Condescend to men of low estate.” [Romans 12:16]. To them, this is a mere story and they are filled with religious pride when their donations exceed the minimum requirement of 10%. When anybody is giving more than 10%, he is filled with pride.
68. I thank God for relieving us from the bondage of the law, from the cross of the law, for any man that is teaching the necessity of tithe must as well teach the necessity of keeping the Sabbath and animal sacrifice and other rituals or else, he has fallen away.
69. And any man that is teaching the necessity of keeping the law has fallen from God’s Grace and is under a curse even till this very day.
70. I do not care where you are. You may be a cursed man, but God is calling you to repent and come out from organized Church and come into the True Bride of Christ, The Body of Christ that will be presented to Christ by Himself, to Himself also without spot or wrinkle or blemish.
71. Where can you find it? It must be in the Wilderness. You do not find it along the road because it is all sent out for a judgment. For The Bride is sent for a judgment unto the world. It is sent for a sign that will shake the hour and The Bride is sent for a Sign that is spoken against, even in this generation.
72. I knock in this Pulpit three times that This Church, The Body of Christ, The True Church is sent for a Sign that will shake the hour, that will be accused of turning the whole nation up-side-down.
73. No wonder they call us heretics and fanatics. Yes! Call us whatever you want to call us, but before God, we are approved.
74. 1 Timothy 6:17 – 19. 17 As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be proud and arrogant and contemptuous of others, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches, but on God, [alone] Who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for [our] enjoyment.
75. 18 [Charge them] to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal and generous of heart, ready to share [with others],
76. 19 In this way laying up for themselves [the riches that endure forever as] a good foundation for the future, so that they may grasp that which is life indeed. AMP
77. Acts of the Apostles 2:45. Amplified version. And they sold their possessions (both their landed property and their movable goods) and distributed the price among all, according as any had need.
78. The tithe is one of Satan’s subtle strategies to hinder free flow of funds into the Body of Christ, to meet the needs of God’s people and to support the good works of the holy Spirit.
79. This false giving allows Churchgoers to remain selfish, covetous, greedy and fearful. It, often times, require little, if any, self-denial or sacrifice and true demonstration of faith. Consequently, Satan hinders true equality in the Church. Satan, I say, hinders true equality in the Church. Amen.

CRY AGAINST THE SYSTEM (3)
Second Corinthians 8:14 – 15, I read New International Version. 14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality,
2. 15 as it is written: “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.”
3. Often times, the underlying motivation in the heart of fake believers is giving only to receive again a hundred fold. In return, as the Scripture said, giving to get, is sin. It is led by the spirit of selfishness and it is unacceptable to God.
4. Who can accept that giving to get is sinful and unacceptable in the sight of God. Watch, in all counterfeit Churches today, all their General overseers and Superintendents and pastors and ministers, men of God so called, self-appointed men of God deceive the whole public to extort money from the whole public.
5. They will tell them, “Give and God will give you mightily. Give, God will give you hundred fold.” As if they are in the business of trade and barter with Christ. God can never enter into such a business with a man. Trade by barter business is not with God at all.
6. The Bible said, “Give, expecting nothing in return. Give cheerfully. Give without grudging. Give as you have purposed in your heart. Give, not as obligation. Give freely. Give from what you have. Do not borrow to give.”
7. But today, they make it as an obligation. Some even go from house to house to collect tithe. They deceive the hearts of so many innocent people into believing that God will prosper them only if they will bring one million naira.
8. Innocent men and women, in their madness for prosperity will carry their business money to these fake Churches, dump them there, come back empty and then expecting God to shower down blessings. Yet, no blessings will come.
9. They feel disappointed. It is another 419 in the name of Jesus. RUN AWAY FROM IT. COME OUT FROM EVERY COUNTERFEIT ORGANIZATION. IT KILLS. IT LEADS TO EVERLASTING DEATH. WHO CAN BELIEVE MY REPORTS?
10. God is warning you. Be very careful. He that is deceiving you has no excuse. You that is being deceived, you have no excuse also. There is no excuse for sin. Amen. I will still go further to read, so that you will know that what God is saying is purely truth. There is no lie in it at all.
11. I read James 4:2 – 3. Amplified Version. 2…..You do not have, because you do not ask. 3[Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual pleasures.
12. The reason why people do not get what they ask from God. (1) Your desires are evil. [2] Your motive is selfish. [3] They are asking that they may get so that they may compete with the world and [4] that they may go about becoming popular, instead of glorifying God with it.
13. But God will not bless you in that way. New Testament believers are no longer judged by the law as given in the Old Testament [10% tithing], but rather by the law of liberty as given by Christ in the New Testament. It is not the letter of the law but the Holy Spirit that guides all True Believers.
14. I read Romans 8:4. Amplified version. So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit].
15. James 2:12 Amplified version. So speak and so act as [people should] who are to be judged under the law of liberty…..
16. Galatians 5:14. Amplified version. ……love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. True giving is giving yourself along with your forms. The two cannot be separated at all.] …..
17. I read 2 Corinthians 8:2 – 5. Amplified version. 2For in the midst of an ordeal of severe tribulation, their abundance of joy and their depth of poverty [together] have overflowed in wealth of lavish generosity on their part.
18. 3For, as I can bear witness, [they gave] according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability; and [they did it] voluntarily,
19. 4Begging us most insistently for the favour and the fellowship of contributing in this ministration for [the relief and support of] the saints [in Jerusalem].
20. 5Nor [was this gift of theirs merely the contribution] that we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us [as His agents] by the will of God [entirely disregarding their personal interests, they gave as much as they possibly could, having put themselves at our disposal to be directed by the will of God]– [and not the will of man]
21. Mark 12:41 -43. New International Version. 41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
22. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. 43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.
23. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
24. In the organized denominational false Churches, we know very well we have a lot of people that call themselves career ministers in those places, or clergy and priests. They are chosen by people for various reasons.
25. Some are sincerely interested in serving God. Other select religious pursuits for less admirable reasons. They attend colleges and seminaries of their respective denominations and they graduate as men-ordained and licensed pastors, priests or professional Church personnel.
26. There is a great deal of prestige and honour given to men that have received a Doctorate Degree of Divinity or Doctorate of Divinity Degree. This enables them to get a better job in a larger Church with more money, while there are some that arrogated to themselves Doctorate Degrees in Divinity.
27. Some of them, [liars that never attended any university in the world] merely because they established one Bible college or the other or because they feel, as General Superintendents and Overseers of their Church, they can now establish colleges where they can now train up personnel in their own devilish doctrines, who will pass out in six months, some in one year and they will send them out to go and propagate their false doctrines and get people, caged in bondage. Man-made, self-appointed liars
28. There is a great deal of prestige and honour given to men that have received a Doctorate of Divinity Degree. This enables them to get a better job in a larger Church with more money, while there are some that arrogated to themselves Doctorate Degrees in Divinity.
29. If they have written successful books, they will become even more recognized by the Church community and become very prominent religious leaders.
30. This is the way the fake counterfeit Churches establish leadership and authority. Some are sincerely interested in meeting the needs of their congregations, but many are not.
31. Some are totally committed to Christ, but many are not. Some are truly born again and are actively pursuing the way of the cross on a daily basis, but many are not.
32. Some are even baptized with the Holy Spirit, but the majority are not. Their authority come from denominational agencies of man rather than the true authority that comes from Christ and His Word in His Apostolically appointed gifts given to The True Church, The Bride of Christ alone.
33. Such fake counterfeit Churches are everywhere on the land. You must recognize them for you to avoid them. You must know them and their teachings. Look at their converts, the way they behave. That will show you that something has gone wrong somewhere.
34. No matter the evil they will commit, nobody will excommunicate them from the Church. They will keep them there. For what reason? Flagrant disobedience to God’s Word. UNBELIEF.
35. 1 Timothy 1:7. From the Amplified version of the Bible, I read. They are ambitious to be doctors of the Law (teachers of the Mosaic ritual), but they have no understanding either of the words and terms they use or of the subjects about which they make [such] dogmatic assertions.
36. I repeat: Such people acquire degrees from human institutions, self-appointed men of God, man-made pastors and general overseers. They are ambitious to be doctors of the Law (teachers of the Mosaic ritual), but they have no understanding either of the words and terms they use or of the subjects about which they make [such] dogmatic assertions.
37. Tell them about baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, somebody will rise up and say “But my General Overseer said. My General Overseer said…”
38. WHO IS YOUR GENERAL OVERSEER? IF HOLY GHOST IS NOT YOUR GENERAL OVERSEER, YOU ARE DOOMED. IF THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT YOUR GENERAL OVERSEER, YOU ARE DOOMED.
39. They make dogmatic assertions, final statements on something they do not know, because they lack the spirit of the Living God. CAN THE HOLY SPIRIT DENY THE WORD OF GOD? CAN THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE, DISPUTE OVER HIS OWN INSPIRED WORD? This question must be answered.
40. I keep on reading the Scriptures, per adventure somebody will understand what I am driving at.
41. 2 Timothy 4:3 – 4. 3For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold,
42. 4And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions [or fables].
43. Galatians 5:7 – 9. Amplified version. 7You were running the race nobly. Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and following the Truth?
44. 8This [evil] persuasion is not from Him [God, the Father] Who called you [Who invited you to freedom in Christ]. 9A little leaven (a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers) leavens the whole lump [it perverts the whole conception of faith or misleads the whole Church] or the whole world.
45. 1 Corinthians 1:26 – 29. Amplified version. 26For [simply] consider your own call, brethren; not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates and standards, not many influential and powerful, not many of high and noble birth.
46. 27[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame.
47. 28And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are,
48. 29So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.
49. God knows what He is doing in this last days, dropping all those big men with their Doctorate degrees, setting their understanding aside, nullifying it, calling it nonsense.
50. And He has decided to choose men that have never gone to any school, He has educated them and then, using them in this end time to put all these kings and rulers, educationists, philosophers to shame. It has been God’s way all the way.
51. Every Bible college is of the devil. No man ever became a believer of Christ through Bible college. It is man-made. The Pharisees, after hearing from Christ said, “Where did he get this knowledge, seeing that he did not go to school?”
52. All that ever followed Christ, nobody ever went back to college after hearing Him. Anywhere a man is when God meets him, there he will stop and follow Christ.
53. YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO TO ANY MAN-MADE COLLEGE TO ACQUIRE GOD’S WISDOM. NO! THE PEOPLE OF GOD MUST BE TAUGHT BY GOD FOR NO MAN CAN TEACH GOD KNOWLEDGE. HE IS THE FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE. HE IS THE FOUNTAIN OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.
54. False prophets throughout Biblical history have been men pleasers generally. No exception. Well received and thought of by the religious world. They are deceived and they are yoked by Satan to deceive and mislead others.
55. And we are living in a day all those prophets are still here. Very much around us in all the counterfeit Churches. I want to make you understand that you cannot please God and the world at the same time. You are either pleasing God or you are pleasing the world.
56. If I ask you this question; Why have you not been a believer of Christ all this while? There is no reasonable answer you can give. And I will supply the answer immediately from here. That you have made up your mind to please the world rather than to please Christ.
57. THIS IS BECAUSE THE MOMENT YOU DECIDE TO PLEASE CHRIST, YOU ARE OPPOSED TO THE WORLD AND HER SYSTEM. YOU DECIDE TO PLEASE THE WORLD, YOU ARE OPPOSED TO THE THINGS OF CHRIST.
58. CAN AN ELECT PERSECUTE AN ELECT? THE CHURCH CANNOT PERSECUTE THE CHURCH. SO, IT REQUIRES A COUNTERFEIT CHURCH TO RISE UP AGAINST THE ORIGINAL CHURCH. CAN GOD PERSECUTE GOD? CAN CHRIST PERSECUTE CHRIST?
59. Counterfeit Churches, they have risen up against The True Church of Christ, The Bride of Christ in the Wilderness all over the world. All their men of God so called, self-appointed ministers, they have branded The True Church ‘deceivers, heretics and fanatics’ only to find favour with government.
60. Yes! I am not surprised. Pilate and Herod must become friends only to persecute the Truth. The Bible said, “Pilate and Herod, arch enemies, became friends, only to persecute Jesus Christ.”
61. The same thing will happen today. All counterfeit Pentecostal Churches have united with the dead Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Baptist Churches on the land today. They have mended fences. They are now one. Ecumenical movement. Anti-Christ movement. False movement.
62. They have mingled together, agreed to one common thing, only to persecute The True Church of God, to persecute the Elect and I know they are making a law to stamp out all the Churches of God all over the world, blackmailing them, calling them blasphemous names, mushroom Church.
63. Yes! And the children of God are not ashamed to identify with the Mushroom Church. I will rather stay in the Mushroom Church and have eternal life than die in a worldly Church that will command millions of people and perish.
64. Men pleasers everywhere. I wonder what I will preach that will attract any man; I wonder what Jesus preached that attracted any man, if not worldly preaching, if not dancing to the tune of the world.
65. People now want any religion that will comfort them in sin. People want a religion that will not stop them from what they are doing where they will not pay any price.
66. Just come to Church. Whatever you are doing, just go ahead doing it. Whether you are dealing in foreign exchange or contraband goods, go ahead. Whether you are profiteering, whether you are covetous, no matter how you are condemned in the society, just come to Church. We need you money and your presence.
67. Advertisement! God hates it. Fake Church! Counterfeit Church! COME OUT OF THAT CHURCH. BE YE SEPARATE AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU. Amen.
5
COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM
I take you to the Holy Bible once again. Jeremiah 23:16 – 17, 21 – 22 in Amplified version. 16Thus says the Lord of hosts: Do not listen to the words of the [false] prophets who prophesy to you.
2. They teach you vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility) and fill you with vain hopes; they speak a vision of their own minds and not from the mouth of the Lord.
3. 17They are continually saying to those who despise Me and the word of the Lord, The Lord has said: You shall have peace; and they say to everyone who walks after the stubbornness of his own mind and heart, No evil shall come upon you….
4. …21I did not send these [false] prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, [then they would have caused My people to hear My words] yet they prophesied.
5. 22But if they had stood in My council, then they would have caused My people to hear My words, then they would have turned them [My people] from their evil way and from the evil of their doings.
6. Every man of God in every Age is known for one thing: If he met God one day and he has heard from God, his preaching will turn people away from ungodliness, from unrighteousness, from evil and will bring them to God, will bring them to a holy living, a peaceful living, a righteous living.
7. But in all the counterfeit Churches, they are not mindful of the behaviours of their members. They behave according to the social doctrines they received and the social gospel they received. They act that same way. After going to Church, they come out. They are the same. No change. Some become worse. God forbid!
8. COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM. False prophets! They do not preach true repentance. They stay at the middle. Can you imagine a man that says he is a man of God, he said, “I do not condemn ear-rings, I do not condemn necklace or bangles and headties and I do not encourage you to use them.”
9. Then, the question arises. So called man of God, what is your stand on that matter? What did the Bible say concerning it? You said you do not condemn it. You said you do not encourage them to use it. What did you tell them?
10. Compromising man of God. Self-appointed man of God. You know the truth. The truth is in your mouth. The truth is in the Holy Bible. You have read it over and over. You started with the truth, but today, you have made money, you have made membership.
11. In other to retain membership and continue making great money, you do not know what the truth said again. You do not know what the Bible said again. Blind leaders of the blind! You have become a dumb dog, because you are guilty.
12. EVERY MAN OF GOD MUST CALL SIN, SIN. WHETHER THE SIN IS IN YOU OR IN ANOTHER PERSON, IT MUST BE SIN. IT MUST BE JUDGED. NO MAN IS ABOVE GOD. IF I AM A SINNER, I AM A SINNER. IF I COMMIT SIN, I AM A SINNER. I WILL PREACH AGAINST IT. I CANNOT COVER IT UP BECAUSE I COMMITTED ATROCITY
13. If you are a man of God, learn a lesson. I am not preaching to pamper you. I am not preaching to pamper you, to give you vain hope, fake hope. You think you are going to Heaven when you are living worldly, living in disobedience, neglecting the Word of God, treating the Word of God with contempt. You cannot make it My dear friend until you repent of it.
14. I take you back to the Bible in Matthew 7:15 – 16, 21. I read Amplified version of the Bible. 15Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves. 16You will fully recognize them by their fruits…..
15. ….21Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
16. Let all of them dress as sheep, but inwardly, they are grievous wolves. They are all grievous wolves. Watch them in their meetings. You see a lot of disagreements. In their families, in their villages, they are trouble makers. Every land dispute, their eyes are there.
17. They carry their brethren to the courts, to the police. In different ways, they victimize innocent people, rob them of their property, commit adultery, fornication among them and yet they do not feel ashamed.
18. But in the streets, in the market places, you see them in their big coats, with their big sultan. You see them marching as if they are holy. Walking on the streets as if they are holy. Speaking very softly, but provoke them a little, you will see their real colour that they have never changed one bit.
19. My Brethren, this is not the life of Christ. Any man manifesting such a character, do not follow his example. Follow the example of Christ and all His Apostles. We live by example. Others follow. Imitate Me as I imitate Christ every day.
20. I know I bear the mark of Christ upon My Body every day. He will never forsake Me. I am ready to die and that is why I owe nobody nothing but the truth. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. This Gospel is dripping with blood. There is no way I can avoid blood in this Gospel. No way!
21. And if I am afraid of death, it then means that I am an unworthy ambassador.
22. I take you once again to 1 Timothy 3:13. The same Amplified version. But wicked men and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and leading astray others and being deceived and led astray themselves [by Satan].
23. Jeremiah 5:31. Amplified version. The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests exercise [bear] rule at their own hands and by means of the prophets. And My people love to have it so! But what will you do when the end comes?
24. Because you see all of them deceiving you, counterfeit Churches, pampering you, telling you all is well with you when all is not well, giving you false hope. If that is your excuse, that somebody has deceived you, the Bible is asking this question, “WHAT WILL YOU SAY AT THE END.”
25. If the Voice will say, “Depart from Me for I do not know you. You worker of iniquity”, what will you say at the end. Will you say, “Somebody deceived me.” God forbid! THERE IS NO REASONABLE EXCUSE BEFORE GOD. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR SIN.
26. The Gospel is coming to you right now from the Wilderness. If you will believe this Voice that is crying from the Wilderness, you will escape the wrath of God, but if you harden your heart and rebel against it, you are bound to perish.
27. God is not interested in the death of a sinner. Patiently, He is waiting for you to repent and live.
28. The home and family of fake believers is easily recognized. Every counterfeit believer, his home is easily recognized. Satan has generally influenced all Nigerian society.
29. SATAN HAS INFLUENCED THE NIGERIAN SOCIETY AS WELL AS THE WORLD SOCIETY IN GENERAL IN SUCH A GRIEVOUS WAY AS TO RAISE UP MASCULINE DOMINEERING WOMEN AND EFFEMINATE PASSIVE MEN.
30. I want you to underline what I am saying. This is the Word of the Holy Spirit. That Satan has weakened every family. Satan has generally influenced every Nigerian families, American families, worldwide families; weakened the social life of the people producing MASCULINE DOMINEERING WOMEN AND EFFEMINATE PASSIVE MEN.
31. Women have now taken the position of men in the homes and the society, while men have relegated themselves, their position to the position of women passively. Effeminate! And all effeminate will have their share in the lake of fire that burneth with fire and brimstone.
32. What is controlling the whole world today is a foolish slogan, WOMEN LIBERATION: WHAT A MAN CAN DO, A WOMAN CAN DO IT. That is Jezebel’s spirit.
33. Watch on the land today. Can you imagine a situation where women do not want to be under the control of men again? Women have arrogated to themselves all the offices and positions in the world. And they have now encroached into the Faith of Christ to the point that women now have their own Church. Women now have their own Church.
34. A woman is a founder. A woman is a General Overseer and Superintendent. They can call it sisters’ fellowship. What is sisters’ fellowship? Anything like that in the Bible?
35. Now, they want to become preachers. They now become apostles and prophets, evangelists and teachers. They now become everything to which men are keeping silent, allowing their wives to go to such places of sin, places of rebellion.
36. Watch what filled those places. Rebellious women. Rebellious women. Rebellious women, filled with pride, that cannot be obedient to their own husbands and cannot sit down under the anointing of the Holy Ghost and listen to the Inspired Word of God. Now, they want to make for themselves their own cult. A lodge. It is another Jezebel’s spirit on the land.
37. Dumb dogs! Passive men! Effeminates! They are keeping quiet over it. Woe to that woman that will import idolatry in the land of Israel. Woe is that man that will import idolatry into the House of God.
38. Woe is that woman that will make men and women to disbelieve God. You can never run away from the wrath of God until you repent and come out of that lodge. God hates it. Organized prostitution! Organized idolatry! Rebellion!
39. Watch them, Satan is killing them. Many worldly believers in the fake Churches suffer this type of warped authority. Few men pay the price to truly stand in their calling of high priest in the home, thereby failing to minister properly to the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of their families in that order on a daily basis.
40. Too often, the husbands put priorities on the financial needs of the family and they allow the spiritual and the emotional needs to go unmet. Men, paying greater attention to providing the needs of the family materially and carnally, but the spiritual needs are lacking.
41. They do not have time to settle down to train their children and their wives in a godly way to reduce sin and stamp out immorality and rebellion from the family.
42. That the Church is bad is because families are bad. The society is bad because families are bad. After all, every man and woman in the society comes from a home. If the home is correct, working in order, quietly peacefully, orderly and godly, generally, the whole society will be good.
43. You either listen to the Voice crying in the Wilderness or you perish. Repent and come out from counterfeit Church and God will bless you.
44. I know you have hated to go this way, but God is calling you for a genuine repentance this day. Whether you hate it or not, you must acknowledge that what I am declaring to you is THUS SAITH THE LORD from this Wilderness for this hour. For the hour is coming when you will not hear THUS SAITH THE LORD anymore. The hour is coming very fast.
45. And I can see the great hammer descending from Heaven to break into pieces every foundation the LORD never made. I can see the sickle that is being brought out to reap the earth of the fruit thereof.
46. Where will you be at the end? And what will you say at the end? Will you say your pastor deceived you? God will not hear that one from you. Nobody will hear that one from you. You deceived yourself.
47. You had the opportunity to hear the word of God and repent, but you hardened your heart. I want to show you things in the Scriptures. Amen.

ONLY THE FAITHFUL, TRUE
BELIEVERS WILL GET ETERNAL LIFE
I am reading Ephesians 5:24 – 27. Amplified version. 24As the Church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands. 25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her,
2. 26So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, 27That He might present the Church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless].
1 Timothy 3:4 – 5. 4He must rule his own household well, keeping his children under control, with true dignity, commanding their respect in every way and keeping them respectful.
3. 5For if a man does not know how to rule his own household, how is he to take care of the Church of God?
4. God is still asking. It is a great question that must be answered by all, whether you like it or not. You must be in a position to rule your own family very well, control your wife, bring her to obedience, control your children, and bring them to obedience to God’s Truth. There is nothing that can cancel it.
5. I say to your shame and ridicule, self-appointed men of God, that some of you still quarrel and fight with your wives at home secretly. You come to the Church, you pretend all is well, when in your house, there is no peace. Who are you deceiving?
6. Behold, the eyes of the LORD runneth to and fro all over the earth beholding both the good and the evil that is being done on earth. The Lord told us in the Book of Isaiah 59 from verse 12.
7. He said, “You have transgressed greatly before God. Your iniquity multiply greatly before Him every day. You know them. Concerning your evil, they are with you. You know them all and your evil testify against you daily.”
8. There is no way you can dodge. Even now that you are hearing this Message your evil is testifying against you that you are a hypocrite and a modern Pharisee of today. You cannot hide from God’s presence. God knows what He is doing in this last hour. He wants to present His Church spotless in the sight of God.
9. There is so much ignorance among the so called Christians today. So much ignorance in relation to true family order, discipline and authority as presented in the Word of God [to the extent] that Satan runs rampant in the home, while divorce increases at an alarming rate all over Nigeria and the world over.
10. This is becoming normal in the false, Christian Churches today. They find it nothing if you tell people today to put away their wives and separate families.
11. Some will go as far as distorting the order of the families by asking men that married many wives before they repented to put away their wives. Where do you want them to put those women?
12. Whoever taught such doctrine in the Bible? Where are you drawing your example? Did Abraham put away Haggai? Did Abraham put away Keturah? Whoever puts away his wife, do you realize we are children of God in the Gentiles?
13. As many as were polygamists before they received Christ must come just as they are. But from that day, they will marry no more. Do you not know that there is no husband and wife in Heaven?
14. Why do you put a yoke unto people which you cannot bear? Modern Pharisees of today, why do you scatter family order? I say to you My dear listeners, there is nothing as such.
15. If you married many wives before you repented, live with them. They are your wives. But one thing is certain: You can never hold any office in the Church again because you married more than one wife.
16. That you married them before you repented does not make you a sinner. Rather it is a type of ignorance God overlooks. Now that you have repented, do not marry more.
17. But if you are hearing from Me, you are not yet married, from henceforth, you marry one wife for so has God appointed unto you. Any man asking you to put away your own wife that has got children for you or that has not got children, that person is of the devil.
18. Jesus Christ did not teach it. All the Apostles never taught it. Old Testament prophets never taught it. Where did this Message come from? It is from the bottomless pit. It is from the enemy, the devil.
19. Do not listen to it. It is Satan distorting family order. Love your wives. Love your children. They all belong to you. They are your inheritance here on earth.
20. Satan causing men to divorce their wives at will. This is becoming normal in all fake Churches. Children who are rebellious, disobedient and resentful of their parents. Hypocrites living heathen lives. These are the fruits of the lack of commitment to Christ in that fake Church.
21. These families have a near-true coexistence rather that the true love and unity found in the Holy Spirit of God. They have learnt to accept and cope with one another’s ungodliness [unrighteousness], rather than pouring true freedom or pursuing true freedom and transformation through Christ.
22. This shallow gospel is a reproach to God. The realm of faith in Christ being represented to the world as broken and defeated.
23. I now take you Brethren, My listeners, believing that you have all been baptized already by the Word, I read 2 Timothy 3:1 – 5. New International Version of the Bible.
24. 1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
25. 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness [Fake Church. Fake believers] but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. Have nothing to do with them.
26. In 2 Timothy 2:12, Amplified version reads, If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny and disown and reject Him, He will also deny and disown and reject us.
27. James 4:8. Amplified version. Come close to God and He will come close to you. [Recognize that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [realize that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery].
28. James 4:17. So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.
29. Only the faithful, true believers will get eternal life. That is, those steadfast Saints that endure patiently till the end. The overcomers.
30. All the fake believers, counterfeit believers and Churches, they are heading for eternal damnation because God has given them sufficient time to repent and instead of repenting, they are rebelling with every God’s move. Treating the Word of God with contempt.
31. Daniel 12:12. Amplified version. Blessed, happy, fortunate, spiritually prosperous, and to be envied is he who waits expectantly and earnestly [who endures without wavering beyond the period of tribulation]…..
32. Revelation 21: 7 – 8. Amplified version. 7He who is victorious shall inherit all these things [eternal life], and I will be God to him and he shall be My son.
33. 8But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations,
34. and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)–[all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death.
35. This is the second death.
36. Revelation 3:5. Amplified version. Thus shall he who conquers (is victorious) shall be clad in white garments, and I will not erase or blot out his name from the Book of Life; I will acknowledge him [as Mine] and I will confess his name openly before My Father and before His angels.
37. God’s Message is loud and clear. He has laid down the conditions of the new Covenant. Everything has been concluded through Christ, through His Word.
38. Now, believers must accept, receive, hold fast to and endure patiently and faithfully until the end. Amen.
