SPIRITUAL PARALYSIS BY APOSTLE KELECHI UWAKWE

SPIRITUAL PARALYSIS
SPIRITUAL PARALYSIS Pg. 49 from verse 18 “This last and final Ministry is a different one. It is not a noise-making ministry. It is a very quiet Ministry. If you come in into this Church and you are not in the spirit, you will miss it.
2. That is why it is going to blind the unbelievers. The Prophet said so, because the spiritual people go with the spiritual eyes, but the carnal people go with the carnal eyes and they will miss Him.”
3. It is the carnal people that came into our midst as God told us in the Message, ONLY FACTS ARE CONVINCING, that when you come into the physical Body of Christ, you are not the one that put yourself there, but God. And when He puts you there, you have an oath of secrecy, which only you will be a witness to.
4. Others will come and rejoice and jump up and down. They are just under euphoria saying, “This gathering is good. These people are good. They do not say, ‘Do not do this. Do not do that.’” They will come into us and make friends, because they are born of the flesh.
5. Their eyes will only be on carnal, carnal things. If you engage any of them in marriage as husband, the things that will attract his attention are like those of the world. You engage the person in marriage as a wife, automatically, you have fallen into the hands of Jezebel, for she will do all things to cause you to disobey God.
6. That is why God has separated marriage from eternal life and placed everybody on his or her own. After all, the time we came into contact for marriage, we did not bring eternal life into focus in our marriage. Did we? So, that is why you stand on your two feet.
7. The prophet said so, because the spiritual people go with the spiritual eyes. They go with spiritual knowledge, spiritual understanding, spiritual interaction. They cannot do things anyhow for a spiritual man judgeth all things; he himself, nobody will judge. A spiritual man cannot do things anyhow. He knows the implication.
8. “You see, God is present in this gathering of the Saints. If you are not careful, you miss Him. How would you know He is here?…” How do you know that God is in this gathering, in this Bridal Faith?
9. “Any little mistake, He will pick on it.” He picks it up to prove that God is here.
10. “Any little mistake, He will pick on it. When your mind is off, He will pick it up. Any little evil thought, He will pick it up. Any little compromise by way of talking, He will pick it up; by way of coming together, He will pick it up, no matter how small and present it before you.”
11. This is how we know that God is here. When Job in his days, they gathered in worship, nobody recognized the presence of Satan, if not God. The same way, from the inception of this Ministry till today, that no Minister has recognized the Spirit of devil impersonating both men and women, bringing them in here if not The Son of Man.
12. So now, God has been speaking to us. If you go back to the period concerning Gideon, the Scripture said that God told him that same day after that visitation and said, “Now, Gideon, rise up. Go to that shrine, that idol of your fathers. Destroy it. Thou mighty man of valour, God is with you.”
13. Go now and destroy that idol. Destroy everything. Pull the roof. Build another altar on top of it, very carefully. Take the bulls, the two bulls of your father and sacrifice on top of it.
14. If you are not strong, spiritually strong, you cannot destroy the idols in your heart. It must take God. Because God told Gideon to do it, Gideon did it. He did it in the night. The following day, they came out and saw it, and they were asking questions.
15. The father was there when they demanded for Gideon to kill him, not Baal killing Gideon. Not the idol killing Gideon. This is to show you that there is nothing in idol and it has no real life existence.
16. It is just like some of us here that are commercial drivers. You see other drivers who put many things in their vehicles, having the belief that in those things are the power that is taking them out and bringing them in. Then, if it is so, there would not have been any accident on the road. If you open your ears and hear where they are talking about those things and you pay attention to them, the spirit will catch you.
17. Let us divorce all these things from our hearts, so that Almighty God will be pleased with us, we will be His people and He will be our God.
18. In the Message SPIRITUAL PARALYSIS, God said that when your spirit is paralyzed, it is because of those words you hear when they are telling you about their idols or whatever.
19. The purpose is to paralyze your spirit, weaken your spirit, biasing your mind. Immediately you are biased and your spirit is weakened, you cannot remember the Word of God again. Amen.
20. Ephesian 5:5 – 13 LB “You can be sure of this: The Kingdom of Christ and of God will never belong to anyone who is impure or greedy, for a greedy person is really an idol worshiper…”
21. A greedy person is really an idol worshipper. A greedy person who wants everything in this world. Who wants to be the direct beneficiary instead, of any good thing and every good thing that come the way of other people. Always envious of people who are progressing.
22. “You can be sure of this: The Kingdom of Christ and of God will never belong to anyone who is impure or greedy,…” Why are we here? Why did this Message come to us? What is the purpose God wants to achieve? Is it not to take us into His Kingdom? Is it not to take us into Paradise where we will live with Him eternally without having problems?
23. And He is telling us now that This Kingdom, which The Son of Man is spearheading as the Scriptures said, in the future world we are talking about, will not be under the control of an angel, but under the control of The Son of Man. It is this Kingdom that does not belong to those that are greedy, idol worshippers.
24. “You can be sure of this: The Kingdom of Christ and of God will never belong to anyone who is impure or greedy, for a greedy person is really an idol worshiper for a greedy person is really an idol worshiper—he loves and worships the good things of this life more than God.
25. Have you seen it now? He loves and cherishes the good things of this life more than God. Anything that takes the first place in your life as God explained this morning. Find out. Is it your wife? Is it your money? Is it your goods? Is it your house? What is that thing that has taken the first place in your life?
26. Does that thing have eternal value? Will that thing save you when the wrath of God will descend upon the children of disobedience? For the Scriptures said, “We should not allow ourselves to be deceived for indeed, the wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience.”
27. “…Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible wrath of God is upon all those who do them. Don’t even associate with such people. For though once your heart was full of darkness, now it is full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it!
28. Because of this light within you, you should do only what is good and right and true. Learn as you go along what pleases the Lord. Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness,…”
29. Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness. Let me tell you. Another of the greatest idols among the youth is the handset [phone]. The handset, the laptop, of which every time you see them, they will be playing music. They will be watching all kinds of films, all kinds of videos. Those things are idols.
30. After watching them, the position the Word of God is supposed to take in you, these things will occupy. You can no longer reason properly. Any trial that comes your way, you fall. Every evil thing, every evil spirit that raises all kinds of thought will just fill your heart. Nothing will stop it.
31. To our Sisters that use to go to saloon, where they decorate and make their hair, you listen to every kind of comments and discussions there. When you come back home, you would not know when you put them into practice against your husband and say, “It does not matter.”
32. These are evil spirits, idols that desecrate the heart, making it impossible for the Word of God to have its resting place.
33. “Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness, but instead, rebuke and expose them. It would be shameful even to mention here those pleasures of darkness that the ungodly do.
34. But when you expose them, the light shines in upon their sin and shows it up, and when they see how wrong they really are, some of them may even become children of light!”
35. You see! After this Great knowledge God is imparting us, retain it in your heart, for the Scriptures said that after they knew God, they could not retain His knowledge in their hearts.
36. Then, God had to give them over to a reprobate spirit and allowed them to do whatever they want to do in their bodies. You start living the way you want to live. You start acting the way you want to act.
37. Now, you have heard this Truth. We should expose everybody we see in this evil practice through our character, through our words. When the light shines into their hearts as it is shining into our hearts now; For since morning, God has removed from us, a lot of these idols which are not even in existence but are in your thought and have been going out.
38. Then with this knowledge, you go out. Do not close your mouth. Continue studying the Message. Know those things God said you should not do. There is one of the Messages I came across where the Son of Man was speaking. He said that if you want to make foolproof of your Ministry in this Faith, both man and woman: First, find out those things that will not help you and drop them.
39. Those things that will not help you to be obedient in your own category, whether you are a husband or a wife, whoever you are. As an individual, check it very well. Scrutinize your life, look and find out those things that will not help you. He said, “Take them and put them aside.” Those things that will help you, embrace them daily.
40. Sometimes, our Sisters think that it is only the men that have Ministries. You have a Ministry. Amen.
41. Colossians 2:8 – 10 LB “Don’t let others spoil your faith and joy with their philosophies, their wrong and shallow answers built on men’s thoughts and ideas,…” Do not allow anybody to spoil your knowledge, to spoil your faith through their shallow ideas and wisdom of men.
42. “Don’t let others spoil your faith and joy with their philosophies, their wrong and shallow answers built on men’s thoughts and ideas, instead of on what Christ has said.”
43. We read Mark chapter 7 from verse 7 to 10. We saw the indictment Jesus gave to the Pharisees. The Amplified Bible said, “How they cleverly set aside the Word of God that they will keep the traditions of their fathers.”
44. Cleverly, they will tell you that it does not matter o. You can go to your church. You can belong to whatever you want to belong and still do it. It does not matter. Clever way!
45. And the Scripture even said we should not allow anybody, whether your husband or your wife for sometimes, women bring idolatry into their families. Men, the same thing.
46. If not that Jacob was a son of God, and knows the God that appeared to him, he would not have found out that idol of his father in-law which his wife, Rachael stole. If you read the story very well, you will see that Jacob became extremely angry against his father in-law, while Rachael had hidden the idol deep in between her laps.
47. When the time came to go and worship the true God, Jacob told them, “Give me all those idols.” He disarmed them of those idols and buried them in the ground because they are all useless. It means nothing.
48. So, search yourself. Do not allow anybody to spoil your faith in Christ and this knowledge you have received. There is no real existence of idols, no matter how they paint them or speak about them.
49. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego knew that the idols of the Babylonians were just man-made. They told the king, “Even if our God will not be able to save us from your hands, we prefer to enter into this furnace.” But when they entered into the furnace, the king saw the fourth person who [the king said] looks like The Son of Man. Amen.
50. “For in Christ there is all of God in a human body;…” For in Christ, you have everything about God in a human body. What is that thing you think God looks like? That thing that you think that God looks like, in Christ, we have everything about God in a human body. Whatever you are expecting to see of God, we have it in a human form.
51. “For in Christ there is all of God in a human body; so you have everything when you have Christ, and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power.”
52. Who is the Highest Ruler with Authority over other powers? Christ. Who is on our midst today? Who has been teaching us all these years? Who has been pointing us to Himself? That HE, The only Being that has the whole powers under heaven and He has displayed it before us. It is enough to make us stand firm.
53. Do not look sideways. The same warning we are receiving today is the same warning Israel received in their days. They did not go and enquire how other nations worshipped their gods. They did not pay attention to them. The same is applicable to us.
54. Let me tell you. If not in Bridal Ministry, you cannot hear preaching in any other place without being afraid. But as many as are in this Bridal Faith, rooted and grounded, know what they believe, no matter the preaching you hear outside, it means nothing to you. You are not even interested.
55. 2nd Corinthians 13:5 “Check up on yourselves. Are you really Christians? Do you pass the test? Do you feel Christ’s presence and power more and more within you?…”
56. Check within yourself. Are you really a child of God? Do you pass every trial and test that comes along your way? This is how to know a child of God. Do you pass every trial? Do you overcome every trial, every temptation that comes on your way? Or do you fall? So, if you are in Christ, you will do all things through Christ that strengthens you. Amen.
57. “Check up on yourselves. Are you really Christians? Do you pass the test? Do you feel Christ’s presence and power more and more within you? Or are you just pretending to be Christians when actually you aren’t at all?
58. You are pretending to be, when you are not at all. Pretending to be a child of God. Pretending to be in the Bridal faith. No problem. What will prove whether you are in the Bridal Faith is when trial comes on your way. Then, you will know whether you are a child of God or not.
59. When trials come on your way, temptations come on your way, that is the time we will know whether you are a child of God or not. But while the trials are coming, and you are falling; every trial that comes, you fall, that shows that you are not a child of God. For it will take Christ in you to overcome every temptation and trial.
60. It must take Christ. The same Christ that was in Paul. He said, “You know my life. You know my trials. You know all those things that befell me. How patient I have been with them all and how I have endured all of them through Christ that strengthens me. You know my faith. You know my manner of life.”
61. That is why God spoke to the people of Israel, “When I spoke to you in the wilderness, did you see any similitude in the sky?” They said, “No!” “Any image of anything?” They said, “No!” For that, you shall not mold any image in the semblance of anything in your heart.
62. This is the Ministry that is open. The way we move and flood the house of The Son of Man, there is no minister under heaven his members can enter his house like that. The door is open twenty-four hours. This is because those ministers of the world have small small things they hid in their cupboards, but here, the veil has been rent into two. Amen.
63. MIXED MULTITUDE VOLUME 1 Pg. 98: 53 – 56
64. The LORD Speaks: Today na today!
65. “Joshua and Caleb appeared and said, “We are more than able. Though they are giants, though they are theologians, though they are having signs and wonders and miracles, we are not afraid of them. We are able for the Lord will see us through.”
66. In the midst of all odds – though few – they were not moved. They were certain. They never joined the majority when they [the majority] were wrong.”
67. This is one of the problems. As many as are not rooted and grounded in this Bridal Faith must join majority in doing wrong.
68. The LORD Speaks: Must succumb to pressure.
69. This is the only Faith you will fight the battle alone and not with the Pastor or the Prophet or whoever. This is the only Faith we cannot come to your house and police you about. We have our policemen, which is the Word, the teaching you have received.
70. “In the midst of all odds – though few – they were not moved. They were certain. They never joined the majority when they [the majority] were wrong. How many of you have joined the majority in your hearts?”
71. Have you seen that God is saying the same thing, hammering on the heart? That is why the Scripture said that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Desperately wicked.
72. The LORD Speaks: Any community that has an age-grade worships idol. “Our age-grade! Members of our age-grade! Association of co-wives! This age-grade and that age-grade.” They are all worshipping idols.
73. Who are members of your age-grade? You are in age-grade alliance with people that do not know God. Alliance with idolaters. Can you imagine a believer and an unbeliever now members of the same age-grade for the worship of idols.
74. I really thank God that you were all present during the burial of My father when I was given the cow head with an instruction from the elders of my kindred to give it to the members of my age-grade in the community. I told them that I do not have any age-grade in the community.
75. I then gave it to Brethren immediately with instruction to cut it into pieces make pepper soup so that all the Brethren can eat. These are members of My own age-grade. These people that are here with Me are My age-grade. Did it not happen before you? Did anybody impose any fine on Me after that?
76. “How many of you have joined the majority in your hearts, in doctrine, in conduct? Check your life, from the pew to the Pastor. Mixed-multitude. The LORD can never be happy with us. We must get rid of strangers in our midst. Unless they are prepared to be circumcised in the hearts.
77. Unless they are prepared to do what we have done, to identify with our doctrines, identify with our conducts, identify with our orders, they are not part of us. They will not partake of our Passover; for we are crossing over Jordan. We are going home. They will not go with us, for they will defile us.”
78. Is this not what is happening? They [the mixed multitude] are the ones causing this defilement. You must separate from strangers among us.
79. The LORD Speaks: And this was the Message God used to cause a separation. With this Message He cut us out from the End-time. Idolaters! God is judging us today according the level of our separation He has noticed in us; whether we have separated unto Him alone or we are still using one hand to place on God and another hand to place on our idols.
80. Amen. Let me show you something here. Isaiah 42: 7, 17 “You will open the eyes of the blind and release those who sit in prison darkness and despair…. …But those who trust in idols and call them gods will be greatly disappointed; they will be turned away.”
81. Now, in verse 7, it said that Christ will open the eyes of the blind, which He has done, to know the True God, to have faith in the True God. To believe that there is no real existence of idols. To make sure that those idols that are in our hearts which have remained there through what we received from our parents will be removed. AMEN.

THE DANGERS OF IDOLATRY (1)
The LORD Speaks: These are the things that are man-made but are now being treated and handled as if they were created or instituted by God.
2. And verse 17 said, “Those that put their trust in idols MUST be disappointed.” …But those who trust in idols and call them gods will be greatly disappointed; they will be turned away.”
3. You see it now. Those that trust the idols and call them gods will be greatly disappointed. Ok. Cast your mind back. Are they not greatly disappointed? Jeremiah 7: 17 – 19 and 21 – 23 LB
4. “Don’t you see what they are doing throughout the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? No wonder my anger is great! Watch how the children gather wood and the fathers build fires, and the women knead dough and make cakes to offer to the Queen of Heaven and to their other idol-gods!
5. The LORD Speaks: Queen of heaven! If you dare tell a Roman Catholic that queen of heaven is an idol he will never agree.
6. “Am I the one that they are hurting?” asks the Lord. Most of all, they hurt themselves, to their own shame……The Lord, the God of Israel says: Away with your offerings and sacrifices! It wasn’t offerings and sacrifices I wanted from your fathers when I led them out of Egypt. That was not the point of my command.
7. That was not the point of my command. That is what I want to bring out there.
8. But what I told them was: Obey me, and I will be your God and you shall be my people; only do as I say, and all shall be well!” Only do as I say. The point of the command of God in this Bridal Ministry from the very onset is ONLY DO WHAT I SAY.
9. The LORD Speaks: At Thy Word.
10. Whatever He tells us to do, we do it. No reasoning. No second thought. In one of the Messages, God said, “The reason why My Word has no entrance into your heart is because you still believe that I am deceiving you.” You still believe that we are deceiving you.
11. Paul asked the Galatians, “Is it by obeying the law that you received the power of the Holy Spirit? All the signs and miracle that happened in your midst, is it by keeping the ten commandments that these things happened.” He said, “No, but by faith in Christ.”
12. All these supernatural events that happened in our midst, were we not here? Did any of them happen in the parlour of The Son of Man? Has any of His children snapped any of the pictures in our midst to get any supernatural evidence?
13. Except the one He commanded us to come in 1996, “Come next Sunday with your camera. You will see He that has been having dealings with you all these years to banish unbelief.” After that, we have been the one snapping the rest and we have seen everything.
14. Then tell me, why that idolatry? If God did not spare the people of Israel, naturally but destroyed them when they worshipped idols of different magnitudes and at different times.
15. In some cases, he wiped out their families completely. Every male [son] in the family will be killed to make sure that there will not be a remnant of that person on the land so that he will not reproduce idolatry.
16. He killed Ahab and all his children. He killed Jeroboam and all his children and many many of them, even those that greeted them on the road were involved. If He did not take it lightly in those days, is it now that He will take it lightly? Idol is very very dangerous in the sight of God because it does not exist.
17. The LORD Speaks: Something that was set up by mere human words. Something that was constructed and instituted by human hands and was given power with mouth of men and then using human beings to do its works. Human beings are used for its works.
18. Come to Ochanja and see where the articles of idolatry are sold in the market. They are of different types. These articles are bought from the market. It depends on the amount of money you have to invest in it and the type of idol you want to institute and then, you give it a name.
19. Whatever thing you want to call the idol, you call it so as to use it to magnify yourself like Elder Oduah. When you get home today, dismantle all that are in your house. There are many in our midst who are desirous of being red cap chiefs
20. Apostle Kelechi: Let us see the weapon of warfare in this Faith we are in, for God has given all thing pertaining to godliness and eternal life. God has told us that if you are in this Faith and you want to be a traditionalist or you are desirous of being a red cap chief, resign from this Faith. Resign!
21. The LORD Speaks: Wait! Am I not the one with you when the traditional ruler of My community wrote letters to Me and even called Me on the phone, all to confer Me with a traditional title. I told them that I do not want any traditional title. It came to the extent of even causing trouble.
22. He enquired to know if I really understood the implication of My stance on the matter. He told Me that if I reject the title, that small boys will be looking down on Me and that the title is an honour to be bestowed on Me. He told me that this is something many people come pleading for and offering a lot of money, but they are turned down.
23. But in my own case, I was written a letter and even called on the phone. Yet, I refused. “Do you know that if you come to the community today, young men who have been conferred with traditional titles will deny you seat in an occasion because you are not a traditional title holder. But if that happens, you may claim that you have been insulted.
24. Traditional title enhances the personality of a man and his dignity. With your cap, you will be accorded praise and you are sure of a seat in any gathering as a chief. When a matter is raised you air your own views like other chiefs. But with your present disposition, you will be told to leave your seat in any occasion where the chiefs are gathered because you do not have a chieftaincy title.”
25. I then asked him, “What has it removed from My whole being? I will not take the traditional title.” When you then take a close look at the people they refer to as chiefs, they are Okada riders and those who do not even have the Okada. Their looks will tell you that these people are experts in poisoning others. There is none in their midst that is worthy of being referred to as a reasonable person.
26. Many of you are very desirous of red cap chieftaincy. Do you really look around your community to examine those that wear this red caps as chiefs? Are they not all the evil men in your community? Are they not the people who will never want to see the end of any crisis? Every traditional title holder and red cap chief is a diabolical and evil man.
27. Celestine Oduah, stand up! Evil spirits are being driven away from you today. Look at him here. He is small in stature but he does mighty things. You are a dreaded man in your community because you are a red cap chief. When you get home today, set ablaze all your chieftaincy paraphernalia and everything that goes with the title. When you do that, peace will reign in your family.
28. You have taken diverse chieftaincy titles which have divided your family with evil spirits. Some have possessed your children, while some have possessed your wives. This is because chieftaincy titles go with polygamy. Every new title brings in another wife and in this way, you open your door to many different evil spirits, simply because you want to magnify yourself.
29. IF YOU REFUSE TO OBEY, YOU WILL RUN IN VAIN. YOU WORSHIP IN VAIN. HE THAT WORSHIPPED IDOL WILL BE BETTER THAN YOU, FOR YOU MUST RETURN EMPTY HANDED.
30. 2 Corinthians 10:3 – 6 GNB, LB “It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to win my battles. I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men,…”
31. God’s mighty weapons. THE WORD. Not those made by men. It is not something you get from Bible College. Not those weapons you can get from Bible colleges and seminaries. That is not what God is giving us to fight our battles.
32. “…I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men, to knock down the devil’s strongholds….” What we are talking about is one of the strongholds of the devil which he has used to pin down the whole world. There is no country that is not an idolater. All of them.
33. “…These weapons can break down every proud argument against God…” This is the only weapon that can bring down every proud argument against God. All those that are saying that idols are in existence, they are proud and they put up proud arguments, but with this weapon, we bring it down before Christ in obedience. With this weapon, we flush it out of our hearts and become obedient to Christ.
34. “…These weapons can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding him….” You see it now. Every wall that can keep men from finding God. That is what The Son of Man is doing, using THE WORD, God’s weapon of warfare, The Sword of the Spirit to bring down every wall built to hinder you from knowing God.
35. The LORD Speaks: if you are not of God,You can never abide. You cannot comply. You cannot obey. Whatever we are hearing here is for those that are divinely connected to God. Those whose orientation started in God. When you get home, take a look at it. It came out today.
36. “…With these weapons I can capture rebels and bring them back to God…” You can imagine how many rebels Christ has captured from last Sunday till now, bringing them to Christ in obedience. Do not take it lightly.
37. If God loves you so much and mentions your name and says something concerning you about this Faith, do not take it lightly. He loves you. If He does not love you, He will not mention your name.
38. For who God loves, He chastises, flogs so that the person can be desperate and repent and come back to Him. There is a reason why He mentioned your name. He saw something in you.
39. I remember the testimony of our Brother Emma Nnachor, some years ago when we were in the other hall. That one certain day, The Son of Man descended on him heavily in Fellowship. After that he went back and was full of annoyance, saying that he did not do any of those things, that he did not commit those things and that he did not do any of them.
40. Really, to him, he did not do those things, but he failed to see ahead. He is the one that told me this testimony. He said that after some weeks, he saw himself wallowing in those spirits until he came to the realization and said, “O if I had obeyed that Voice without walking against it, this thing would not reach this extent.”
41. Since then, he said that whatever a Minister says, mentioning his name, he keeps quiet pleading his case with God that such a thing should not happen to him in this life. Amen.
42. THE COMFORTER, Pg. 25 from 41 through 46: “I have been over compassionate to many. I am about to weed families—father, mother and children—out of this Faith so that this Bride of Christ will produce what God intended to.
43. Mixed-multitude is making my work very difficult and it is delaying the Journey more than necessary. When an important message is preached, they (strangers) will bring in the tradition and customs of their forefathers that contradict the truth, which we received from God.
44. When we received a warning even from the Great Sermon that you should stop listening to statements, words, stories that contradict the truth you know. In Saint Paul’s day, in the days of the Apostles, there were such people; they did not give them even recognition.
45. There are too many Roman Catholics in this Faith. You know it is a spirit. Too many have not divorced even their earthly religions; rather, they want to mix things up in this Faith, trying to cause disaffection in the Bride, upsetting the faith of the Brethren.
46. Saint Paul said such people who said that they were not against the things of Christ also obey the Law of Moses. To them, if that is not done they would not obey. He asked them to shut their mouths.
47. In this Faith also, they do not hide under the Law of Moses; they do not mention it. They hide under the traditions of their fathers, the customs of their villages and also want to continue in their village traditions. You do that, you are lost. Such people are devils.”
48. The LORD Speaks: Such people are devils and they are lost.
49. “They have come into this Faith to upset the faith of the children of God..” Period! “…and must leave this congregation of the Saints.” And what? “…and must leave this congregation of the Saints.” M.U.S.T Father, mother and children.
50. “Such people have concluded within themselves that come what may, they will not abandon this Faith, nor leave by themselves; but any day they are excommunicated, that they will never come back. Now I want to excommunicate all of them so that they will not come back again. If you are with Me say Amen.”
51. The LORD Speaks: We are coming to something. Was anybody’s name mentioned in this Message? When I gave My instruction, I said, “Mention no name,” if not for some cases that are very glaring, namely; Abraham Paul, Chukwunonso, Pastor Ejike. And you heard Me saying this morning, “I, personally, will handle Pastor Ejike’s case.”
52. 2 Corinthians 10: 4-6 “With these weapons I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ.” LB
53. Apostle Kelechi: The Message we are hearing is the Sword. It is the weapon God is using to bring us back, for once you disobey God’s word, you become a rebel. One iota of the Message you disobey, you become a rebel.
54. In the world or in Nigeria, the soldiers in the Nigerian army can never give you a second chance. Once they have that report or it filters into their ears that a group is trying to topple the government and they arrest you, they can never give you a second.
55. If the news has not gone out to the whole nation, they will just silence you people inside the guardroom there, for you want to cause chaos. You want to disturb the peace of the country. You want to kill many people.
56. So, once you reject God’s Word, family Messages, Doctrine, Conduct and Order of our life, once you disobey it you have become a rebel instantly there.
57. The LORD Speaks: You MUST divorce your old, ancient, traditional customary religion, your ancient traditional customary faith, customary belief, for you to embrace Christ. Nobody embraces Christ and still held on tenaciously to the traditions of his people and meets God’s requirement. Impossible!
58. That which the Lord Jesus condemned, the Prophets condemned, the law condemned, The Son of Man is condemning it this afternoon. I have been condemning it. This Message titled THE COMFORTER was handled in 2010 8 years ago, and still, it is the Message of the hour. Since 8 years I handled it, we are still battling with these evil spirits.
59. People that came from different nations called denominations and filled this place, not for eternal life, but for reasons best known to them. They are not ready to go out, for they have seen the Truth. They have seen every evidence and they are not ready to obey the Message.
60. If you are numbered among those that vowed you will never go, you will not leave, but any day you are excommunicated, you are not coming back, I am not threatening you. You are already excommunicated, because your unbelief has already excommunicated you.
61. Even if you die here and all of us from the whole Nigeria gather to bury you, you are going to hell. Anywhere you are going is determined while you are alive, for the grave can never change the destination of anybody. There is no amount of preaching or sermon on that burial day that will change the eternal destiny of the dead.
62. I handled this at Akokwa when we buried our CEO. I saw people from all walks of life. I saw a type of crowd I had never seen. I opened My mouth. No matter how wonderful it is in their eyes, I think it is better that somebody dies on the street, gets rotten on the street and then proceeds into paradise than to receive this type of burial and go to hell.
63. The number of people, the personalities that are attracted at your burial can never change your eternal destiny. There is no amount of lavish entertainment that can change it, even if the whole preachers will officiate.
64. It is just like we heard it yesterday, Billy Graham died. It remains T. L. Osborn. He died at 99. He died in unbelief. He never knew that the Prophet had prophesied about three of them: Oral Roberts, T. L. Osborn and Billy Graham. The three angels of blindness God detailed to blind the world that they may not believe the Truth.
65. I am not saying it because the Prophet foretold it. I am saying it because I know. Once you open your mouth and talk I know where you are coming from. It would have been better that he died at infancy and gets to heaven than to die at 99 in unbelief. And then God will judge him by the number of people he hardened their hearts against the Truth.
66. That is the problem our Brother Ifeanyi Eze is having. He filled himself with useless doctrines of one preacher that said he was preaching the herald of his coming, who said he would not die and that he will be translated alive.
67. Before Brother Ifeanyi, the man died. Joseph Jackson said he will not die and that his body will be taken up alive. Jackson is dead. We are still watching. There are too many things we are still expecting.
68. I AM SAYING THAT YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY STARTS HERE. YOUR TOMORROW IS NOW, FOR YOU MAY NOT HAVE ANOTHER TOMORROW. TODAY MAY BE YOUR TOMORROW.
69. I DO NOT KNOW WHY I AM MAKING THESE STATEMENTS, BUT I BELIEVE I AM TALKING TO INTELLIGENT PEOPLE. THE HOUR WE ARE LIVING IN IS VERY PRECARIOUS. THERE ARE TOO MANY FORCES AROUND US NOW AS NEVER BEFORE.
70. REMEMBER MY MESSAGE IN 2017, THE NEW YEAR MESSAGE. I TOLD YOU THAT NIGERIA SHOULD EXPECT A NEW INSURGENT GROUP THAT WILL BE WORSE THAN BOKO HARAM THAT IS NOT IPOB AND IS NOT NIGER DELTA MILITANTS. THAT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, FOR IT WILL WALK AMONG THE PEOPLE, THROUGH THE PEOPLE AND WITH THE PEOPLE. GO TO THAT MESSAGE.
71. CONCERNING BOKO HARAM, I TOLD THE WHOLE WORLD, “NO MATTER THE NOISE NIGERIA WILL BE MAKING, SAYING IT HAS ERADICATED BOKO HARAM, DO NOT LISTEN. RATHER IT WILL ASSUME A NEW DIMENSION.”
72. They said they have killed shekarau, I said, “they are telling lies. It is military gimmick.” They were saying those things to keep hope afloat.
73. If they had eradicated Boko Haram as they were claiming since two years now, their December does not come to an end, who then abducted the 110 at Yobe? Who had been claiming responsibility for bombing Adamawa, Yobe and Bornu? Who claimed responsibility for abducting even university dons, police officers and so on?
74. I do not want to go there because I announced these things ahead of time when there was no sign on the day Apostle Kelechi’s wife was under labour in the General hospital in 2010. Thank you.
75. IN THE GENERAL HOSPITAL, I WAS PROVOKED TO TALK TO THE BRETHREN THAT WERE WITH ME IN THE GENERAL HOSPITAL ABOUT WHAT WAS COMING. I SAID, “WATCH THIS YEAR. YOU ARE NOW EXPECTING A NEW YEAR. NIGERIA WILL EXPERIENCE THE FIRST SUICIDE BOMBING,” WHEN IT HAD NEVER OCCURRED ANYWHERE.
76. BEFORE YOUR EYES, THREE DAYS AFTER MY STATEMENT, FIRST SUICIDE BOMBING AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS, ABUJA. I have my reasons why I keep quiet over national issues. Lest somebody might be thinking that I have a hand in them. Amen.

THE DANGERS OF IDOLATRY (2)
Apostle Kelechi: ASSURANCE OF SALVATION Pg. 91 from 47 “Brethren, I am giving you points whereby you know exactly where you are so that you do not stand on a faulty foundation. Many are standing on a sinking ground, neglecting this fundamental principle of children of God, jumping into the revelation of mysteries.
2. Everybody wants to know the man of sin. You want to know the mystery of the Church. You want to know every mystery. BUT LOOK AT THE ELEMENTARY SIDE, THE MOST IMPORTANT SIDE WHERE YOUR ETERNAL LIFE DEPENDS, MANY HAVE NEGLECTED THIS SIDE.”
3. Which is this matter that we are discussing now, for he that must come to God must believe there is God, that He is a Rewarder of all that diligently seek Him. You must believe also that there is no other God beside or before Him.
4. “SOME ARE STILL CARRIED AWAY BY OVERCONFIDENCE THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN IT. FROM THE SCRIPTURES THAT ARE SO FAR READ, WE CAN SEE THAT MANY OF US ARE FAR REMOVED FROM THE COURSE OF ETERNAL LIFE. WE HAVE BEEN PURSUING THE SHADOW. THIS IS WHAT COUNTS FOR CHILDREN OF GOD AND NOT KNOWLEDGE OF MYSTERIES.
5. KNOWLEDGE OF MYSTERIES STABILIZES YOUR FAITH. I WILL CALL KNOWLEDGE OF MYSTERIES ALGEBRA. I CALL FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF OUR FAITH ABC. WE MUST KNOW THE TYPE OF BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE WE HAVE TO KNOW WHETHER IT COMPARES FAVOURABLY WITH THE SCRIPTURES.”
6. The LORD speaks: You hold it there. We want to support you from here. Won’t you use your glasses?
7. THE COMFORTER Pg. 156:7 – 10: “If you go to the Message entitled, “COPING WITH A REBELLIOUS CHILD,” it said, “Do you have a rebel in your house? If you call your son or your daughter a rebel, what do you have in mind? If your child is not agreeing with you, if he is resenting all your honest moves, your son is turning rebellious; he is a rebel.” Finish!
8. Have I defined it very well? Now, making another thing to look like the Supreme God, or making a god with your hand after the imagination of your own heart and owing your allegiance to it, or consulting something else other than God makes you a rebel.
9. If you watch Asa, the King, God said, “Is it because there is no God in Israel that you could go and consult mediums and sorcerers? Oh! King Asa, you must surely die,” and the man died.
10. Who killed him? Was it the Devil? No. Why did God kill him? He was trying to introduce something that was not cherished by God and that thing that was no God is what is called the Devil.
11. Man’s attempt to exonerate himself from blame has always produced the Devil because he is looking for somebody who will carry his blames and his excuses, instead of accepting his mistakes so that he can be corrected.”
12. The LORD Speaks: We want to rewind it. Gently.
13. “Man’s attempt to exonerate himself from blame has always produced the Devil because he is looking for somebody who will carry his blames and his excuses, instead of accepting his mistakes so that he can be corrected.”
14. The LORD Speaks: Brethren, is it a lie? Rewind it again.
15. “Man’s attempt to exonerate himself from blame has always produced the Devil because he is looking for somebody who will carry his blames and his excuses, instead of accepting his mistakes so that he can be corrected.”
16. THE COMFORTER Pg. 157:11 – 16: “In your honest attempt to escape from being corrected or blamed, you now established the Devil from your conscious and also unconscious actions. We have conscious actions and we equally have unconscious actions.
17. Every action that is not premeditated is an unconscious action, while any action that is premeditated and thought of is a conscious action. I am not talking about the subconscious mind. Leave it there. I am talking about the realities of life. ANYTHING GOD NEVER CREATED DOES NOT EXIST….”
18. The LORD Speaks: Anything God never created does not exist.
19. “ANYTHING GOD NEVER CREATED DOES NOT EXIST. Whatever you do see as structures in the world are inventions. Man invented those things,…”
20. The LORD Speaks: Brethren, is it a lie? Even this house we are in now, it was made by man and that is why they collapse and kill human beings. From time to time, they collapse. From time to time, they are razed down by fire. Was God the inventor of motor car? Did God invent aeroplane? Even ships?
21. ANYTHING GOD NEVER CREATED DOES NOT EXIST. Whatever you do see as structures in the world are inventions. Man invented those things, simply because God created man; man then invented many things. That is why we call them inventions by man.
22. Like you are having your G.S.M handsets, a man invented it. A human being invented aeroplane, ships, televisions, wristwatches, cars, mats, pens and even your shoes. No matter how gigantic or small that thing might be, they were all invented by human beings.
23. All the fabrics you put on, they were latter inventions before now. What man was putting on as cloths were animal skins they developed from hide and skin to the one we call akwete. Do you know what akwete is?
24. This is the type of cloth that was made through the use of threads made of palm wool. We have developed more than our forefathers; yet we have not gotten rid of the spirit of idolatry from our minds.
25. The LORD Speaks: What verse is that? Verse 13? Remind it again.
26. All the fabrics you put on, they were latter inventions before now. Yes! What man was putting on as cloths were animal skins they developed from hide and skin to the one we call akwete. Do you know what akwete is?
27. This is the type of cloth that was made through the use of threads made of palm wool. We have developed more than our forefathers; yet we have not gotten rid of the spirit of idolatry from our minds. “Look at the extent we have gone. Yet, idolatry still holds sway in the hearts of many that are claiming to be members of this most Holy Faith.
28. Some of you still have the ugly belief that what you are passing through, when traced, is as a result of the evils of your fathers and things like that. Some still have the stupid belief that what they are passing through is as a result of the idols of their town their fathers offended or they offended.
29. You think that way, you are an idolater! If there is anybody you have offended, he is not an idol; rather, you have offended the Supreme God. Thus, when you are looking for the remedy, go back to God Whom you offended.
30. This is why people run to and fro; yet they do not find the remedy because they are walking after the imaginations of their own hearts which is based on what they inherited from their fathers, which has been working in them even till today.
31. If I do not touch on this matter, you will not be truly liberated. What is more, until you are fully liberated, you can never come home fully. To those that doubt what I am saying, if you believe the Scripture, I more.”
32. The LORD Speaks: Brethren put your hands together. Nothing can be truer than the Truth, which means, The Son of Man had addressed this matter. You see why God said that this judgment in the Bride had long been predicted. If we had obeyed, we would not have come to judgment.
33. Who will now wriggle out of unbelief? It is easier to call our children rebels than to admit that we are rebels. I would like to see a situation where parents will go home and tender unreserved apologies to their children, for accusing them of iniquities they themselves are guilty of, for they were the people that introduced that unbelief.
34. What if you died before now? If you had died before now, what do you think would have been your eternal destination? Who could have appealed for you? You see why I have told you that I am the most compassionate of all that have appeared here on earth.
35. Look at where we read. It said, “I have been compassionate to many. I know some agree, but not all. If I should go with the few that agree, it then means the rest have laboured in vain.”
36. If God never touched on this thing over 8 years ago; last Sunday we were shouting as if that was the first time, yet we have these Messages in our libraries as witnesses against us. It is sounding as if I handled it now, yet it never contradicted what you heard.
37. What I did the other Sunday was to use few Scriptures to back it up, because it is judgment according to the Word and according to the Spoken Word. Both the Written Word and the Spoken Word have come together to declare us guilty.
38. How I wish we can think on our ways. How I wish we can think on our ways. This is not a matter where A will blame B and then B will blame A. No No No No No! Iniquity is iniquity. Something you know you should not try, you know the Truth about it, you go ahead harbouring it and propagating it.
39. In short, I have now believed the Message, NO HIDING PLACE. There is no where we can hide and God will not search us out. If someone is told that this type of Message had been with us, the person will not agree. You can continue, but as for Me, I have washed off My hands.
40. Apostle Kelechi: Amen! Really, we ought to apologize to God individually.
41. The LORD Speaks: God does not require apology from anybody. God said, “That moment, what you need is CHANGE YOU HEART AND MIND.” Do not ever say, tender apology, but say, REPENT INSTANTLY THERE, CHANGE YOUR MIND, TAKE A DECISION AND STAND BY YOUR DECISION. FINISH! THAT IS THE ONLY REMEDY.
42. Apostle Kelechi: The only remedy! That is the only remedy before us. There is no other remedy. Immediate change of heart. Immediate change of mind.
43. The LORD Speaks: Let the wicked forsake his ways and the unrighteous, his thoughts. Let him turn to The LORD.
44. DOES YOUR LIFE REFLECT THIS FAITH Pg. 17: 5 “This is the particular area that has caught My attention for it says that God will judge you and I with the Messages He has handed down to us.
45. Note it, you and I must be judged, not with the Message of Moses or any other messenger, but [with] the Message God delivered to us. Is He an unjust God if He does so.? No.”
46. The LORD Speaks: Amen. Which Message did you read? Read it again.
47. DOES YOUR LIFE REFLECT THIS FAITH Pg. 17: 5 “This is the particular area that has caught My attention for it says that God will judge you and I with the Messages He has handed down to us.
48. Note it, you and I must be judged, not with the Message of Moses or any other messenger, but [with] the Message God delivered to us. Is He an unjust God if He does so.? No.”
49. The LORD Speaks: No! Let us back it up.
50. ASSURANCE OF SALVATION Pg. 72:20 – 23 “THIS SAME MERCY SEAT WILL BECOME YOUR JUDGMENT SEAT. THE SAME MERCY SEAT IS THE JUDGMENT SEAT. WHO KNOWS THAT CHRIST IS THE MERCY SEAT? IS IT SCRIPTURE? BUT WHO KNOWS THAT CHRIST IS THE JUDGMENT SEAT ALSO.
51. GOD BLESS YOU! WHEN YOU KNOW THESE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS IN CHRIST, HAPPY ARE YOU. YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO CONDUCT YOURSELF. THAT TIME WHEN WE HEARD THAT THE JUSTIFIER OF THE GENTILES IS HERE.
52. I UNDERLINED THAT MESSAGE AND IN MY JOTTER, I PUT IT PERFECT, ‘THE JUSTIFIER OF THE GENTILES IS HERE. THE DESTROYER OF THE GENTILE IS ON HIS WAY, COMING SWIFTLY TO MAKE A QUICK RIDDANCE UPON THE EARTH AND NO FLESH SHALL BE SAVED.’
53. I UNDERLINED THE PROPHECY IN MY JOTTER BECAUSE I KNOW THAT ANY MOMENT FROM NOW, THE BRIDE WILL BE TAKEN AWAY. AND THE MOMENT THE BRIDE – WHICH IS THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD – IS TAKEN AWAY, THAT SELFSAME DAY, ALL THAT DID NOT PARTAKE OF THAT CATCHING AWAY WILL FACE ETERNAL WRATH OF GOD WHICH FINALLY WILL TAKE THEM TO THE LAKE OF FIRE.”
54. DOES YOUR LIFE REFLECT THIS FAITH Pg. 19: 12 “You can recant this Faith and still continue in Fellowship with the Saints,…” What? “You can recant this Faith and still continue in Fellowship with the Saints, having everything in common with the Saints,…” Pure Truth! “…labouring, yet you have recanted the Faith.
55. Let Me give you another pointer. God said that he will never destroy us, rather we are going to destroy ourselves with our own hands. In other words, He (God) will never erase our names from His Book of life, that we who have come to Him for salvation will be the people that will delete our names by walking away from Him.
56. What does walking away from God mean? To walk away from God means walking away from His instructions, walking away from His precepts, walking away from the revealed teachings. The moment you walk away, your doom is sealed.
57. It is not God’s intention that any should perish. If it is possible, He will save the entire world, but it is impossible. We have come to the end of all things. There is no need giving you the impression that you are there when you are too far away from the mind of God.” Amen!
58. DOES YOUR LIFE REFLECT THIS FAITH? This Message was preached on 20th February, 2011; Pg. 25: 27. “Let it be known to you that only those that are destined for the final salvation shall be purified.
59. Only those who are bona fide, destined for salvation shall be purified. The rest, no matter the way you present this Message, shall never never be purified.
60. Their heart must remain filthy, even if they eat and drink with The Son of Man, sleep in the same bed with Him, render Him all services in the world, their hearts must remain filthy.
61. Note, I have almost finished the race. Only one thing remains. It does not require preaching for it is a proclamation. That’s all. It is a proclamation. No more. No less.
62. I am through with all you should know as far as preaching is concerned. What is waiting, which is about to take place is just one thing; A proclamation and whatever may be the content of that proclamation, for now should not bother you.
63. However, you know what it is, that The Son of Man has finished His fight with the anti-Christ. He has won the battle against His opponents. If there is any war left, it is now in your families. It is between you, your wife and your children. And you are the one that will fight that anti-Christ in your family and win.
64. It is no longer in the Body of Christ. It is now in your families, for God has pushed away unbelief from the hearts of those that have been earmarked for salvation.”
65. The LORD Speaks: Amen! Bro Goddy! If you are talking when the preacher is preaching, you are not paying attention and you are, at the same time, distracting others.
66. The matter we are approaching is a serious matter and we are approaching it at the same time it was approached in the wilderness. Heads rolled. Let he that thinketh he standeth be careful, lest he falls. I want to give you another information here.
67. The same Message, THE COMFORTERPg. 176: 52 – 56 “However, go to the forest, come back and tell them that you saw God and God said they should repent, you will hear, “Get out of here!”
68. Tell them thus, “God said you should turn away from your idols. I saw God; He said I should tell you this.” All you will get is: “My friend, shut up your mouth! Where did you see God? Can one see God with the naked eyes? By the way, who has ever seen God?”
69. CHARACTERISTICS OF A PAGAN: A pagan never believes that he is deceived; he holds on tenaciously to his aged long tradition and that is all. Anybody can easily change, but a pagan can never and will never change.
70. WHO IS A PAGAN? A pagan is one who is strictly dedicated to things that are no God to the point that one can no longer restrain oneself from them.
71. A pagan is one that is accustomed to doing evil—that is a pagan. He is the very Lucifer you have in your house; he is accustomed to walking contrary to the Will of God.
72. He is accustomed to establishing customs God never established. While God is pulling down, he is building up, adding strength to things that have no strength by intimidating people into believing that what they are passing through is as a result of their disobedience to those things, which do not exist. You use your mouth to add strength to idols, but idols have no strength. An idol is what human beings made for themselves.”
73. When you get home, get your own personal copy of this Message, THE COMFORTER. If you can go through it before the Message of last week will come out in print, you will never regret you did.
74. And with this, we have right now, I say thank you Apostle Kelechi. You have tried. You can come down while we give room to another preacher who will go evangelical and that is Luke Ojiakor. Amen.
GOD IS IN THE MIDST OF THE BRIDE BY APOSTLE LUKE OJIAKOR
4
GOD IS IN THE MIDST OF THE BRIDE
Apostle Ojiakor: You are blessed Brethren. Can we give God a clap offering? To God be the glory.
2. The LORD Speaks: THE COMFORTER! Many may not know where they placed their copies. Some do not even see it as something they can read, while some use it to decorate their houses, may be because they have the photograph of The Son of Man. Some use them as protective amulets. No!
3. The sermon book is a book. It does not protect, but the content is what will protect if you empty it into your heart. This is the summary of everything. We used our hands to form something, used our mouth to give it strength and promote it. We intimidate people into believing we are telling the truth. Something that is not exist.
4. Brethren! Even as we are talking about this, the people receiving this Message should meditate on this matter a little. Is there anybody here from any community or village who can say that he or she never saw his or her father or grandfather where he worshipped idols?
5. Can’t you deduce the meaning of all the things that are placed at the foot of those trees in your compound and the things they do there? Some even built a small house for their idol [Agwu].
6. Was it not your father that built the small house and all those paraphernalia of idol worship in there? He enters and comes out of that small house with his back to the entrance door? He is the one that put the metal gong there and some other paraphernalia which include water proof and clothes.
7. He plucks the eyes of a dog and hangs the skull inside the shrine. The same way he hangs the monkey’s skull. He picks animal bones from the market and hangs them in that same shrine. The items also include fish heads. Can’t you cast your mind back to recollect how it used to be in your village before you came to the city?
8. Is it because you are now living here that makes you think we have forgotten where you came from? And when you go back to your village, you still join them. It is like Bro Chizoba that is here. Even if everybody forgets his or her own experience, can you forget that of your father?
9. Is there anybody that can save your father from idolatry, even till eternity? I like that one. He is better than one who claims he is worshipping God and still worshipping idols. You worship God and still beats drum for the idols. Something that does not exist.
10. It was not in existence before. You instituted it. You gave it power with your mouth. You praise it and even blow flute to it. Something that does not walk and does not talk. If there is any disaster now, you will abandon and take refuge elsewhere.
11. I know what I am saying. A time came in 2012, [riverine areas are known for idol worship] when the flood came, the flood carried both their idols, their houses and swept off everything.
12. The people of Anam did not have anywhere else to place their idols. Everybody scampered to safety. The idols were also running for their safety. When the flood receded, they started trooping to Ose and Ochanja to purchase the materials they will use in constructing fresh idols because they are used to worshipping idols.
13. I do not know whether you understand what we are saying. This was the same kind of idol before which the Ark of God was placed when the Ark was in exile. Dagon! And God kicked the idol down. To another one, God broke off one of the supposed hands and legs, straight.
14. The people concluded that the Ark was giving them trouble and also decided that the Ark must go. And they concluded that it must be taken back to where it came from.
15. If you watch all these things people call God, they are carried about by human beings. Wherever they want it to be, the worshippers will carry it and place it there. Sometimes, the owner of the idol will hide it behind trees like coconut tree, plantain stands. And this is the god he worships.
16. This type of god that is carried about by hand, the person worshipping it is also like this idol. Idol makes a man mindless and stupid. That is why God is saying that anyone worshipping idol is a senseless fool.
17. In this modern day. In spite of our development, we have never gotten rid of idols. We have not even stamped out that spirit, that mind, that memory. Our development is difficult. That is why we cannot develop. We cannot develop.
18. WHAT IS HOLDING US CAPTIVE IS OUR PRIMITIVE ORIENTATION, BELIEF WHICH WE HAVE REFUSED TO GET RID OF. EVEN PROFESSORS IN THE UNIVERSITIES PROMOTE IDOLATRY. WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS GOD’S TRUTH. PROFESSORS PROMOTE IDOLATRY. WILL ACADEMIC ATTAINMENT HINDER HIM FROM WORSHIPPING IDOLS?
19. You now see that it is not a matter of human intellect. God gives a different spirit to only the one He loves, which will make him hate these things with perfect hatred. You must hate it with your heart before you can avoid it. You can never avoid anything you still cherish. Impossible!
20. Apostle Luke Ojiakor: Brethren, this is truth. God said, “That which is made with human hands.” Psalm 115:1 – 9 from any version at all: “Glorify your name, not ours, O Lord! Cause everyone to praise your loving-kindness and your truth. Why let the nations say, “Their God is dead!” For he is in the heavens and does as he wishes. Their gods are merely man-made things of silver and of gold.
21. What? Their gods are merely man-made things of silver and of gold. Idols are merely man-made things of silver and gold. …They can’t talk or see,… They cannot talk and they cannot see.
22. …despite their eyes and mouths! Nor can they hear, nor smell, nor use their hands or feet, nor speak! And those who make and worship them are just as foolish as their idols are.”
23. Those that make them and worship them are as foolish as these idols are. And these idols are dumb dogs. They are dumb idols. They cannot think. They cannot see. They cannot move. They cannot use their hands to do anything. They are motionless like that. These idols are carried about.
24. “O Israel, trust the Lord! He is your helper. He is your shield. O priests of Aaron trust the Lord! He is your helper; he is your shield. All of you, his people, trust in him. He is your helper; he is your shield.” LB
25. Israel is enjoying. The Bride is enjoying trusting in the Lord while other people run to and fro.
26. The Lord Speaks: THE GOD THAT ESTABLISHED HIS PRESENCE IN THE MIDST OF THE BRIDE, IS HE A LIFELESS GOD? DO PEOPLE CARRY HIM ABOUT? DOES ANYBODY DIRECT HIM? DOES HE EAT? DOES HE DRINK?
27. If the God that appeared in the midst of the Bride according to time, according to prophecy and according to Scriptures, if that God appeared contrary to Scriptures, I mean, we would be foolish to subscribe to that God. The God that has revealed Himself is a direct opposite of the gods of the nations.
28. Then YOU, YOU, as an individual, man or woman, YOU are the express image, a replica of that God, for the Scriptures said that when we shall see Him, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He is. I hope I am making sense.
29. Is there anybody here who will like to be like an inanimate object, a lifeless object? What is more? You, a being created by God, formed it [idol] for reasons best known to you.
30. And you started bowing down to something you formed, lowering yourself, and then began to offer animal sacrifices, even sacrificing your fellow human beings to those things.
31. At least, when His Original Body was revealed here, our mouths got closed, for He told us, “If the Supreme God does not come, this problem will rock the foundation of this Ministry. It requires a divine intervention. For that reason, all the Elders must make sure they are in Fellowship as early as possible. On My side, I will be there earlier than any other person.” I dismissed them that night.
32. The following day, being Sunday, they did as we agreed. They arrived early, earlier than usual. They thought I was coming behind time, for I said I will be here before any other person, that I must sort things out. 9 o’clock, I was still at home. 9:30am, I was still at home. Nobody cared to call. Few minutes to 10 o’clock, I arrived here. And that was My time.
33. I CAME THE WAY I WANTED. I CAME THE TIME I WANTED. AND I DID IT THE WAY I FOUND IT FIT. AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE ALIVE TILL TODAY. DO NOT PRAY THAT I SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN THAT FORM.
34. IN THAT FORM, YOU WILL ALL DIE. IN THAT FORM, YOU WILL ALL DIE. SO YOU CANNOT BEAR IT. ALLOW ME TO BE LIKE YOU AND TO REMAIN LIKE YOU. BUT DO NOT EVER BELITTLE MY WORTH. ATTEMPT IT, YOU WILL REGRET IT, FOR I AM NOW COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THE MERCY SEAT.
35. I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT TWO YEARS AGO. IN 2016, I LEFT THE MERCY SEAT, GRANTED YOU ANOTHER JUBILEE YEAR, ROLLED INTO THE JUDGMENT SEAT FOR THE BRIDE. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE WORLD. SOMETHING IS ON THERE, BUT LOOK AT MY INTEREST HERE.
36. THE CLOUD IS HERE!
37. I never wanted to address you for too many things are still in Me. Discovering that this Message had been handled since 2010, you think I am happy? You think it gives Me joy? Yet, I am happy. What makes Me happy? It is a confirmation that I came for salvation to those that are not ready for salvation. I came with the Message of eternal life for those that are not patiently and eagerly waiting for it.
38. For if they were patiently and eagerly waiting for it, the moment the Message goes forth, they will embrace it. I opened the Message MIXED MULTITUDE which I handled in 1993, all of you are still guilty. Why are you following Me? Why are you wasting your time and money clustering here?
39. Just pray hard that I will not dismiss you in anger one day, go to My house and then mark My family like Noah. I do not know what prompted Noah to recline to his family. There was no other person that had access to that fellowship. One hundred and twenty years! I do not know. May be it is something like this.
40. Is a man’s headache not determined by the size of his head? There is no Message I will preach in My family that I will handle from morning till now. What will be the nature of that matter I am addressing? The highest is one hour, then we will eat and remain happy with ourselves. Supervising them is very easy. Monitoring is very easy.
41. But to this large congregation, including those that are in distant lands, how do I supervise? How do I monitor? How do I control? A people that are not ready. A people that are hypocrites, stiff-necked, stubborn, dastardly bad. Bro Ojiakor, over to you sir to see whether somebody can follow the new escape route.
42. Apostle Luke Ojiakor: Please Brethren, let us actually look into ourselves. We have seen the idol and we are still seeing more. Now, He said that the God that appeared in the Bride, is He like that one? Is He an inanimate being?
43. MODERN IDOLATRY Pg. 72:54 – 55 “THE SUPREME GOD THAT CREATED THE HEAVENS AND EARTH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE BRIDE. HE IS NOT TOO FAR FROM YOU. HE IS ALWAYS WITH US, CONSTANTLY WITH US, WATCHING US, PROGRAMMING OUR FOOTSTEPS. HE IS THE ONE THAT HAS TAKEN US TO THIS PARTICULAR POINT WHERE WE ARE NOW.
44. I AM SAYING THAT I AM HE. YOUR UNBELIEF OR BELIEF CANNOT CHANGE IT. WE ARE NOT CONFRONTING ANYBODY. BUT EVERYTHING IS ON THE RUN. Amen.”
45. We read Psalm 115 from verse 1 to 9. We saw the gods of the nations. Our community gods where we all came from, made with hands. But The Supreme God that is in the midst of the Bride is not like that.
46. Let us see Him again in LEARN OF ME, Pg. 95:14. “If you have seen Me, you have seen God. There is no God besides Me. I AM THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD, but the skin is deceiving you.”
47. The skin is deceiving you. Please, this same True and Living God, He has revelation and where we read in MODERN IDOLATRY, He said, He is the One regimenting us, the One that has been leading us thus far, to this point where we are now.
48. Now, the Scriptures says, “HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER.” Have you heard of it? He has not changed. That is the same God, if you go to Exodus chapter 20:1 – 6
49. “Then God issued this edict: “I am Jehovah your God who liberated you from your slavery in Egypt. “You may worship no other god than me. “You shall not make yourselves any idols: no images of animals, birds, or fish. You must never bow or worship it in any way; for I, the Lord your God, am very possessive. I will not share your affection with any other god!” LB
50. I will not. The word is N.O.T. I WILL NOT share my glory, my worship with anything made by man. Anything existing anywhere.
Verse 5 “And when I punish people for their sins, the punishment continues upon the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of those who hate me; but I lavish my love upon thousands of those who love me and obey my commandments.” LB
51. Exodus 20:3 and 5 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. …… thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,…” KJV
52. I am a jealous God. From the very beginning. God is jealous and we know His Name is also Jealous. God is jealous and His Name is Jealous.He said He will never never share His glory with anybody
53. Exodus 34:10 – 17 “The LORD replied, alright, this is the contract I am going to make with you. I will do miracles such that I have never done anywhere else in all the earth and all the people of Israel shall see the power of the LORD, the terrible power I will display to you. Your part of the agreement is to obey all of my commandments….” LB
54. This is the part of the covenant for you and me: To obey whatever the Almighty God shall tell us. We have been told that He has taken us away from the laws of Moses unto the laws of The Son of Man. Whatever He tells us to do, we MUST do it. This is our own part of the covenant.
55. He said that going away from that is idolatry. Going away from that is worshipping idols and God hates idolatry.
56. “…Your part of the agreement is to obey all of my commandments.Then I will drive out from before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
57. Be very very careful never to compromise with the people there in the land where you are going, for if you do, you will soon be following their evil ways.
58. Instead, you must breakdown their heathen altars, smash the obelisks they worship and cut down their shameful idols, for you must worship no other god but only Jehovah for He is a God who claims absolute loyalty and exclusive devotion.
59. No, do not make a peace treaty with the people who are living in the land for they are spiritual prostitutes.”
60. They are spiritual prostitutes. Do not ever make any agreement with them. Do not come to terms with the people. Remember the people were occupying the land God gave to the Israelites.
61. And God Himself drove all those nations out of the way of the Israelites and allowed the people of Israel to occupy the entire land and then said, “Do not ever practice whatever traditions, whatever culture, whatever customs, whatever thing the people of the land were doing.” And the same God is here. Has He changed? He said He came to save us.
62. “No, do not make a peace treaty with the people who are living in the land for they are spiritual prostitutes, committing adultery against Me by sacrificing to their gods.
63. If you become friendly with them and one of them invites you to go with him and worship his idol …. And you are to accept their daughters who worship other gods as wives for your sons and then your sons will commit adultery against Me by worshipping their wild gods. You must have nothing to do with idols.”
64. You must have nothing to do with idols. The one you have in your heart or molten in any form or shape and kept somewhere. You must destroy all their obelisks. Let me tell you. The Almighty God has told us how He destroyed the “evil forest” in front of His house. Papa started it.
65. The LORD Speaks: So somebody can worship his mother’s gods. When a child of God is married to a heathen woman, the woman comes and introduces her own god, her children will join her to worship her god.
66. Everybody should be very, very careful. If you watch the magistrate court and its setup, you can hardly believe that somebody can be sentenced to prison from there. There is a magistrate court you will enter, you will even discover that this My small table is bigger than that of the magistrate there.
67. Ordinary benches will be placed with lawyers having their discussion. The accused person may be seeing the whole thing as a joke, but when it is time to go, he will discover that he is being ushered into a Black Maria.
68. The accused who is now a convict will ignorantly be expecting his lawyer to carry him home in the lawyer’s car in the usual manner but the lawyer will tell him, “I did not succeed. Follow them. But remember you are still owing me o! You have not completed your payment but do not worry.” My lord, he has not paid me. Do not worry, when he finishes his jail term he will pay you.
69. This small table? This small table? This is the Supreme Office of the Bride. So it has been from the beginning till now. It started with the old schoolchildren’s locker. This is the best I have enjoyed and I appreciate it
70. Brethren this matter is a serious matter. So we are not joking. It is a serious matter. The next minute, something will happen. God has been warning, saying that this judgment has long been predicted and it is happening before us now. And God, still in His Mercy, though He has left the mercy seat, yet he is giving us clue, saying, “Change immediately! Change your heart!
71. The LORD Speaks: Warning before judgment. The warning went forth 8 years ago.
72. Now God said, “You destroy all these things.” My father was a consulter of medium [diviner]. He had many statues he surrounded himself with which he uses for his activities. But when he died, I was very small.
73. But when I grew up, I came from the university as an undergraduate, got to all the places, got all those things and burnt them. I dug the ground where some were buried, the stone he was using in making rain and sending away rain, I destroyed all of them.
74. And one of the elders in Ojiakor’s family rose up and called others and summoned me before others and said, “Christian committed abomination. He burnt down his father’s shrine. He burnt his father’s herbarium.” I was watching them to know what they will do. They looked at themselves and nobody could say anything. I left them.
75. Remember, God said, “If we do not separate, there is no way Christ can come into us.” We have to destroy all those things. This is the injunction, even right from the Old Testament. Now, this same God that is jealous is a Consuming Fire. Hebrew 4:29 said that our God is a Consuming Fire. It is as clear as that.
76. Now, this God, that is the same God here and we have been warned to flee from those things that are provoking. Those things that actually make Him to turn away His face from us and definitely, what will happen is total annihilation. He is a Consuming Fire.
77. Deuteronomy 4:23 Beware lest you break the contract the Lord your God has made with you! You will break it if you make any idols, for the Lord your God has utterly forbidden this. He is a devouring fire, a jealous God. LB
78. He is a devouring fire. Why are we not afraid? Why are we not afraid? Remember if you do not have the fear of God in your heart, there is no way you can worship this God. The fear of God must be in our hearts. We should know Him as a Consuming fire who judges righteously. He is a just God. He does not look at any man’s face.
79. Listen. The Almighty God has spoken to us time without number, letting us know the reality of everything. You cannot make friendship with God as far as His Word is concerned. Once He has spoken, He has spoken.
80. Why? Because Psalms 138:2 said something, “You have magnified your Word above your Name to fulfill it.” To God, His Word is more important to Him than His Name, for His Word is still Himself. Therefore, when He has spoken to you and spoken to me, all we have to do is to obey. Going away from it is idolatry. It is whoredom. And it starts in the heart. AMEN.

PERSONALITY CALLED THE SON OF MAN

THE DEITY IS HIDDEN IN THE
PERSONALITY CALLED THE SON OF MAN
The LORD Speaks: Can a man born of a woman run away from God? Where will he run to and the LORD will not catch Him?
If you do not believe Me while you are alive, in death, you are believing Me. You can never die without seeing My face. In resurrection, you still see Me.
2. No other voice than The Voice you are hearing now. It has been the same old Voice. And that is why, when the people rush to the websites, they know why they halt. They go to the action side where they see us in worship. And then, they listen to the Voice.
3. They go to THE CHRONICLES. They see the true evidence. In spite of the huge work we are doing in the websites which has made us to be off and on, the response today is still encouraging.
4. I want to see that one. Nigeria came in as number 14 and that was the time Nigerian logged on and noticed we have come back. Nigeria, number 14. Read from there so that they will all hear you.
5. www.chroniclesofthebridalministryworldwide.org [1] United States of America 3,821; [2] Kenya 3,258; [3] Israel 3,123; [4] Russian Federation 2,411; [5] Netherlands 2,353; [6] Vietnam 2,362; [7] Ukraine 2,361; [8] Ghana 2,322; [9] South Africa 2,144; [10] Malaysia 2,122; [11] Venezuela 1,818; [12] Finland 1,247; [13] Austria 1,247; [14] Nigeria 1,244;
6. The LORD Speaks: Ok! That was the time they logged in and saw that we were back. We have been off and on. I announced it. The work is still continuing. It is a very big work. Until we finish, according to the instruction we received from Google, we will not switch on all of them.
7. And what is more? Google recognized these four websites and decided to give us unlimited space.They said, “You now have unlimited space. Load as much as you want, provided you will pay.” That is all. We are no longer limited to this and that. No, no, no! For we have been consistent for more than five years. We never removed anything.
8. We have been there, paying. And they have been watching our websites. Nobody has ever hacked our website and nobody will ever hack it. So they are very much pleased.
9. Anything we want to advertise, we advertise. Two days, we remove it and continue. So, I am happy with the work so far done.
10. www.previewofbrideofchristministry.org [1] Nigeria 5,345; [2] USA 3,622; [3] Israel 3,233; Kenya 2,251; Russia 2,231; Netherlands 2,221; Italy [the home of pope] 2,130; South Africa 1,223;
11. www.brideofchristministryworldwide.org [1] USA 5,634; [2] Nigeria 4,621 [3] Kenya 3,312; [4] Russia 3,312; [5] Israel 2,314; [6] Australia 2,221; [7] China 2,216; [8] Sweden 2,214; [9] Canada 2,144;
12. We are making a rapid progress. Depending on the time we switched on, the people noticed it and rushed. Look at what we gathered within the week. See the books. Mention the first five or six books that attracted their attention.
13. [1] Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide 2,361; [2] The Supreme Deity in a Divine Mission 2,112; [3] Unguided Moments in a Man’s Life 1,212; [4] Secrets of Rapture 1,211; [5] Cry Out Against the System Volume 2. 1,142; Two Foundations of Our Existence 1,124; [6] Take My Yoke 1,123;
14. Is it not astonishing? Look at the number of people that read a particular book. THE SUPREME DEITY IN A DIVINE MISSION 2,112. In one week.Showing interest in one book. Look at all the books having more than one thousand respondents in just one week.
15. Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide 2,361; Can you imagine?
16. That is the first. Introduction of the Bride of Christ Ministry. More than two thousand respondents. And you think we are fooling the world? They are still there.
17. I am trying to tell you that God knows what He is doing. How can you be here and help to save people from other nations and you cannot benefit from the same Message that benefitted them. You and I are here.
18. If you gather all that are in Nigeria that are known to us, it is not as much as the total respondents from the website in one week..
19. Is it because I drink while sitting on this very table here? Or is it because you know where I live in Nsugbe? Is it because I sleep in the same house with you. Is that why the Message is common to you? I pity you. I pity you.
20. Who will hit his or her chest, crying, “Had I know?” It is one who knows what he ought to do and refuses to do it. He is the fellow that will say, “See what I have caused myself.” Remember! NO SECOND CHANCE.
21. Based on these Words that came out of the Almighty now, let me read this. HOW DO YOU KNOW THE SON OF MAN Pg. 42 vs. 5 – 9 and vs. 12 – 14 I want to tell you that many sitting down in the Fellowship, hearing Me, have never known Me beyond the way the Jews knew Jesus Christ. He that sent Me is with Me. My Father has not left Me. He is still with Me for I do those things that please him.
22. When God sends a man, He goes with Him. God does not send somebody and stays somewhere else. You want to see God? Who do you look for? The Representative. You want to see the Almighty? In Him is the Almighty hidden. In that Representative. The Almighty is hidden there.
23. God rigging away all human intellect. In Him also is the Almighty going to be revealed. Sure! Now, what am I trying to say? He that sent Me is Truth. I have manifested Him.
24. I have manifested the Truth. I have shown you the Father. I have shown you the Godhead. I have manifested all the attributes of the Elohim as a proof that the Elohim is not in the Cloud, but in the midst of the Bride.
25. What is more? The Deity is hidden in the personality called The Son of Man who you have not welcomed…..
26. Who you have not welcomed.
27. ….for if you have welcomed Him you would have rested.
28. For the fact that you are still restive, questioning many things, doubting many things, you are still struggling to live right with Him, it is a sure sign that you have not rested. Something is still wrong with you …
29. Vs. 12 – 14 ….. If you have welcomed Him, for who He is, why do you find it difficult to obey His Word? And yet, you want salvation from Him. Why do you wrestle with His Word? You wrestle with His instructions. Why do you query the actions of God?
30. Who made you judge over God? It is a sure sign that you have not even believed that He is what He is telling you He is.
31. Let Me ask one pertinent question. I do not care about whatever that took place in some countries before we were born as human beings. Let us take the ones we have read.
32. History is replete with great events. Notable among those great events are people that came up at one time or the other to claim to be one thing or the other. Is it not true?
33. Of all that appeared both in Nigeria and beyond, claiming to be one thing or the other, some argued, some fused, while the majority remained quiet looking up to God for vindication and confirmation. Before our eyes, those people fizzled out. Their claims fizzled out. They left nothing behind.
34. In all, there was not even one that came with a doctrine that would be credited to him. Here in Nigeria, do we have any doctrine credited to Jesus of Oyingbo, who claimed to be Jesus Christ?
35. Anyone credited to Eddy Nwajiani, Jesus of Ogbunike? Do we have any doctrine either in print or in the radio or in any form that can be credited to the man who claimed to be God, Olumba Olumba?
36. I know why I am saying this. If I leave the scene now, I have left an indelible foot print on the sands of time. I will stand to be quoted the world over, for I have established worldwide library that cuts across all religious barriers and I have remained here.
37. Not that I left the scene and people started spreading the Good News. I REMAIN THE ONLY AVATAR THAT APPEARED ON EARTH, REMAINED ALIVE AND MY MESSAGES WENT ROUND THE WORLD, INVITING CRITICISMS, QUESTIONS, OPINIONS, RESENTMENTS AND I REMAINED HERE, NO ONE HAS EVER DONE THAT.
38. Nobody knew about Jesus the Christ until he left the scene. Only a few knew about Moses. Not worldwide. Not until he left the scene. So it is. Check all. I am still sounding, shouting, talking. I stand to be faulted. That’s all.
39. My hands are clean. I am innocent of anybody’s blood, for when this thing started, I told you clearly. I went places before settling down.
40. There was no place for Me to settle down. I formed the place where I settled down. And where I settled down, no reasonable fellow can enter there at Ugwumba Street. If we show you the place, you can never believe it.
41. That is not all. I KNOW WHO I AM. AND I TOLD YOU, “NOBODY CAME TO SEE YOU. NOBODY CAME DOWN, BUT GOD.” THAT I AM NOT A MESSENGER FROM ANYBODY. I AM NOT A MESSENGER FROM ANYBODY.
42. THAT MY MESSENGERS CAME, YOU AND YOUR FATHERS KILLED THEM. MY SON CAME, YOU CONSPIRED AND KILLED HIM. ALL OF THEM CAME IN MY SPIRIT AND POWER.
43. ALL THE PROPHETS OF OLD CAME BY THE SAME SPIRIT AND POWER OF THE GREAT ELOHIM. THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN THEM, EVEN WHEN JESUS WAS UNBORN.
44. That same Spirit of Christ was what descended upon Jesus and made him God. When his ministry was over, he joined his ancestors and the Spirit continued the journey. It is stage by stage.
45. Finally, He [God] decided to come down to wind up the history of Christianity, to wind up the history of worship, to gather all loose ends and present Christ. Is it not the Commission? Is it not in tapes? Far back 1992. December 30th.
46. And up till today, that same Voice has never stammered. It has been persistent. No Message has ever contradicted the other. There is not a single corner we negotiated without warning.
47. He that promised you that there must be One coming from the opposite direction, He said, “I share the burdens with you. I know you cannot make it, for no human being has ever made it.
48. But since you wanted to go that way, I introduced it fully. But I know you would not make it.” Nevertheless, you will see Me when you are tired.
49. And one day you got tired. No Message to preach again. You have finished preaching everything you know. Then it became a war. God on one side. Everybody on the other side.
50. Pulpit Rabbis, Bench Rabbis, one side. God, one side. Fire Me as I fire you. Whoever that wins this battle should rule. We will use no other thing but the Scriptures.
51. Was it not how it took off? You saw the Man coming from the opposite direction. He relieved you the burden. That is why you are looking better.
52. I KNOW WHERE WE ARE NOW. WE ARE STANDING ON A VERY PRECARIOUS GROUND. IF IT IS NOT SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. DO NOT ALLOW THIS SMALL MAGISTRATE’S TABLE TO FOOL YOU. SOMEBODY CAN GO FOR LIFE IMPRISONMENT FROM THERE.
53. HOW DO YOU KNOW THE SON OF MAN vs. 14 In spite of all He had been telling you, you will see no other sign than the sign of translation and that is the time you will be left here. Then those that were wrapped in His Righteousness will go with Him.
54. HOW DO YOU KNOW THE SON OF MAN vs. 25 through 31 I have taught you and the Elohim has confirmed that My teachings are true, steadfast, faultless, worthy of all attestations. I have manifested the Truth. I have shown you the Godhead. I have also represented the Father, so the Father is a Reality. He that sent Me is a Reality.
55. That is why we are Realists. We are Realists for we are not worshipping an imaginary God. Sure! What we have anchored our Faith in is very clear to us. He is True. He is Real. He is Steadfast. He is faultless. What then Brethren is the basis of your unbelief?
56. Put your hands together Brethren. Even if it means clapping against ourselves. Let us clap for the Truth that is evidently set out before our eyes. Even if we are living in disobedience, let us clap hands for the Truth.
57. Is it because you know Me? Where I was born? Where I was raised? My parents? My occupation? I grew up with many of you. Lived in the same yard with many of you. And we are still living together, having everything in common. Is that what is stumbling you? Do I know?
58. May be, you were thinking that I will be an extraordinary being that will be hanging somewhere in the air and the Supernatural legs will be touching the ground.
59. I think what is killing you are your vain imaginations and foolish thoughts that are giving you the impression that you are right and God is wrong. You said you are right and God is proved wrong. As wicked as you are?
60. Mention the title of the Message. HOW DO YOU KNOW THE SON OF MAN preached on 30th July, 2017; By The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 42:5 – 9, 12 – 14 and then 25 – 31.
61. The LORD Speaks: There is no small Message in this Faith.
62. Apostle Luke Ojiakor continues: Remember Malachi 3:6. He is the same God. He does not change. That is the Being. He has shown us everything. Now, what He stipulated before is still the same thing for all that He has called out. Remember, for Abraham to worship God, God had to call Abraham out from the Ur of Chaldeans.
63. And God had spoken to us severally on that matter. THIS MATTER OF SEPARATION. It is because many of us are not yet separated from their communities, from their families, from their nations, from their towns, from their kindreds.
64. He said, “If you have not separated, there is no way you can worship God aright.” There is no way.
65. In Genesis chapter 12:1 – 8, God called Abraham out. And Abraham left everything and got separated. Now, look at the instruction. Amen.

I AM THE SUPERNATURAL
Deuteronomy chapter 18:9 – 14 in King James Version.
2. When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
3. The LORD Speaks: Can there be fear in one who owns the community? I mean, can there be fear in one who owns the community? This Faith is owned by some people. Some people own this Faith. Some people own Nigeria.
4. If a head count is done and they are not counted, nothing has been done. Every government that comes to power is in the hands of some people. It is the same with this Faith. This Faith is owned by some people.
5. Now, we read in Deuteronomy chapter 18 and it said, “When you get to the land Almighty God has given you, do not ever behave like the people living there.” Their customs. Their ways. They were having idols in their hearts. Do not ever behave that way. Do not make graven images, gods of silver and gold; things made by hands.
6. You can as well put down Psalms 135. Gods made by hands; those that worship them are like them.
7. Psalms 135:15-18 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; they have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. KJV
8. The gods of the nations are made of silver and gold; they are formed by human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak, and eyes, but cannot see. They have ears, but cannot hear; they are not even able to breathe. May all who made them and who trust in them become like the idols they have made! GNB
9. The heathen worship idols of gold and silver made by men—idols with speechless mouths, sightless eyes, and ears that cannot hear; they cannot even breathe. Those who make them become like them! And so do all who trust in them! LB
10. The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. [Idols] have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make [idols] are like them; so is everyone who trusts in and relies on them. AMP
11. Deuteronomy 18:9-14 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. God threw them out of that land because of these evils. So anybody practicing these same evils, definitely.
15. The Almighty God will spit that person out of His mouth. If you check it in [The Book of] Revelation, “You are not hot; you are not cold. Because of that, I will spew you out of My mouth.”
16. Revelation 3:15-16 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. KJV
17. “I know you well—you are neither hot nor cold; I wish you were one or the other! But since you are merely lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth! LB
18. I know what you have done; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other! But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth! GNB
19. I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth! AMP
20. Deuteronomy 18:13-14Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
21. The LORD our God is not permitting us to do those things. Get it! He is your Father. He is the One that has told you what you should do. He has said it. Why will you then go contrary or do otherwise. Doing that goes to show that you are a stranger.
22. Do you not have the fear of your Father? Are you the one that instituted this Faith? Do you know how this Faith started? Were you there? That time, the prophecy will come through Nnamdi Ogbogu “Pia-Pia! Pia-Pia! Pia-Pia!
23. WHERE YOU THERE? WHERE YOU THERE? WHERE YOU THERE WHEN I CALLED HIM? WHERE YOU THERE? WHERE YOU THERE? WHY ARE YOU ANGRY? YOU ARE ANGRY BECAUSE I HAVE MADE MY CHOICE AND MY CHOICE IS FINAL. He said, “Why? Is that the reason why you are angry? Demonstrating? Making jaga jaga.”
24. The LORD Speaks: Why you dey make gara gara?
25. Now, do not behave that way. Look at what he said we should do. Deuteronomy 18:15 – 19 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
26. You see it? Make enquiries from Him. Why do people run to and fro? He said, “We have not believed.” Whosoever does that has not believed. This is because if you have believed, you would rest. Note that in everything, He is in control. He is regulating. He is directing. He is planning. He is programming.
27. The LORD Speaks: His Scriptural Commission had already introduced who He is [and what He has come to do]. When He came, he read all that were written concerning Him.
28. So we must listen to Him and not to consult anything. Why are you having double mind whether The Son of Man will save you or not.
29. The LORD Speaks: All that came and claimed to be one thing or the other, there was not even one that came and said, “The LORD called Me. Look at my Scriptural commission.” But the Prophet William Branham came and told us, “All these phonies must come first to upset the real thing when it shall come.”
30. All these phonies will come out first. When Jesus came he said “All that came before me were liars [and thieves].” The Prophet said, “Before the fulfilment of the prophecy, will be phonies.”
31. He said, “Wait for Him. If He does not appear live in the midst of the Bride, know that I am not a prophet of God. Can a prophet make this statement if he is not sure? You folks sitting down here; you will remain alive.
32. One day I will preach my last sermon, read my last Scripture and give way. HE that will come will be on the scene and your eyes will behold Him. HE will be in the midst of the Bride, standing on two feet in human form, talking. But you must be there for you to behold Him”
33. He prayed that he will remain alive and then, at least, catch a glimpse of His face, but nevertheless, he said, “HE will increase while I will decrease for two of us cannot be here at the same time.”
34. The Great Person, The Super Man we are expecting, who will arrive on the scene to take a Bride to Himself, whose foundation I am laying. Of all those false false people, there was no claim of someone who foreran their ministries. No commission. They just woke up one morning and claimed to be one thing or the other. Before our eyes, they fizzled out.
35. That was what happened among the Jews. Gamaliel, a professor of Theology, warned the Jews to steer clear. That there were too many people that rose up in Israel, in time past, claiming to be one thing or the other. A little while, they died and their movement died.
36. This one also should be watched closely. If it is of a human origin, it will fizzle out. But if it is originating from God, fighting against it means kicking your legs against bricks. We have been confronted with diverse oppositions.
37. “Thus saith the Lord. This ministry can never cross Upper-Iweka.” I said, Amen. “Thus saith the Lord. This ministry must quench this year.” I said, Amen. So they continued until one prophet Israel was carried to My house. A prophet came to My house.
38. After chatting, I fed him, did everything. He prophesied, “I never sent you. I have never found your work perfect. I am cutting you down like an oak tree. I am giving you 3rd July. If you do not fall down, know that I am not the Lord and I have not spoken. Wuuuuu! Wuuuuu! Wuuuu!”
39. I said, “Wait o. can I record what he is saying?” The man that brought him, who said he is a Pastor by calling, Apostle by permissive will said, “Ok, you can record.”
40. I said, “Ok. Can you permit Me, let Me go and buy cassettes and also buy batteries?” He said, “OK you can go.”
41. I carried My motorcycle, went out, purchased cassettes, purchased batteries and everything. I slotted the thing in and said, “Ok. Can I hear the prophecy?” He said, “Ah Ah! It is already there.” He called the prophet and said, “OK. Now he is ready to record.”
42. I waited and what I heard again was “Wuuuuu! Wu wu wu! Wu wu wu!” My wife was watching. “Wu wu wu! Wu wu wu! Wu wu wu! Wu wu wu!” After the noisy demonstration for about three minutes, he said,
43. “Ok. Pay attention to what I am going to tell you. I never sent you. I never found your work perfect. I am cutting you down, 3rd July. If you cross it, know that I am not the Lord God Almighty. You caged my people. No No No No! No No No!”
44. He continued talking and talking until he claimed he fainted. I recorded all. I said, Praise the Lord. The apostle said, “You have heard from the Lord. The Lord has spoken.” I said, Praise the Lord.
45. I turned to them, “Thank you very much for bringing Me this wonderful message from the Lord. I am happy. I have received it with every amount of joy. What do I offer you?” The apostle said, “Anything you can offer.”
46. My wife brought food. They ate. I gave them Malt [drink]. They drank. When they were about to go, I gave them money and even helped them to get a taxi that took them to Upper-Iweka and bid them farewell.
47. They waited for their prophecy to come to pass. No way! On the day I wedded Bishop Isaac Igwe, they decided to implement the prophecy by all means. Can a man help God to fulfil His prophecy?
48. Before we left for Obosima that day, I saw the thing. It was clear. I told all that were going with Me what I saw. Then, The LORD who went with Me, was behind Me.
49. While I was ministering, they sent their messengers to come and know whether I was the one that came or another, for they never knew when I crossed Ada Palm [plantation] where they waited, between Avu and Obosima.
50. They went as far as hiring assassins from Aba to assassinate Me while coming to wed Bishop Isaac. I told Brethren who went with Me, including Nnamdi Ogbogu, “Do not panic. Nothing will happen.”
51. When I crossed, they never knew. While they were waiting, the thing became unbearable for them. They now came to the school and saw Me in the pulpit. Two boys with motorcycle. They went back and announced to their people, “Na the man o.”
52. They now came. Okey Painter wanted to catch one with his hands. The one that climbed one Gmelina tree. Okey Painter said he saw him pulling a small pistol out of his belt.
53. That he [Okey Painter] wanted to grip him [the assassin], but there was no way he could fire from the roof for everywhere was under security, Brother Leo in particular, who noticed what was happening, went and climbed the roof.
54. I continued ministering. I was not even disturbed. I told the Brethren to be quiet. Bro Columbus [late] was not even panicking. Even Bro Ben.
55. You see, something great took place that day. I wedded them, fed everybody because we had everything in surplus. Before we left, they had already come back.
56. While I was making the last prayers, they went and prepared. I told Brethren where they were waiting and that they have now changed their plans. Look at where they are now waiting for me, all to bring their prophecies to past.
57. I said, “Ok. I will show them that I AM THE SUPERNATURAL. Bro Isaac! I will enter your vehicle. I will not use the one that brought Me. You carry Me now through another village, through Obinze Army barracks. That is how we will go. Nnamdi, carry the rest. One way to Onitsha. Follow us.”
58. So, our Brother carried Me in his Volvo® with another Brother. We took another route altogether. They were waiting for Me between Avu and Obosima. They never knew I took another place. Where we came out was Obinze Army Barracks. From there to Owerri.
59. I told Nnamdi to go home with the rest of the Brethren. I said, “Brother Isaac, go back with Brother Columbus and entertain the rest of the Brethren.”
60. They were wondering what would happen to Me. I said, “No. Do not bother.”
61. At that Arugo Park, I entered 608 [a Mercedes Bus used for commercial transportation]. I entered 608, mini bus.
62. Do you know one funny thing? With that 608 I entered, I arrived Onitsha before Nnamdi Ogbogu who was driving 504 [Peugeot salon car] with Brethren. There was no phone that time. No communication. They all waited in My house.
63. When they drove to My house, they said they came to wait. They saw Me, already taken My bath and came out. They were wondering, “How 608?” Even at that, he [Nnamdi Ogbogu] brought Me there at that filling station. Arugo Park. That filling station.
64. So, the people waited and waited. When they could not see Me again, they came there. They never believed the eyes. They thought Bro Ben and Bro Columbus hid Me at Obosima. They now went to them and caused havoc.
65. They started fighting physically, destroying property, insisting that they [the Brethren] must produce Me by all means when I was already resting in My house. You see the extent people can go?
66. So they vowed in the days of Saint Paul, “They will not eat or drink until they had already killed Paul.” But God paved another way out. If this Ministry was of a human origin, the Shepherd would been killed long long time ago.
67. Do you know that one took it upon himself to be dastardly diabolical? He went to the villagers for My sake, announced and said that everybody should wait and see what will happen in My house. That they will see something they will not believe.
68. I got the information. I prayed over it with My wife and said, “Ok. No problem. He is boasting with all those things, but I know what God will do.
69. We went to bed. Thirteen in number in the flat. The house caught fire from nowhere. Fire engulfed the whole flat. From the kitchen to everywhere. Look at what God did.
70. The rug in the parlour, the fire came there, God cut it off. To the children’s room, God cut it off. We were nursing a new baby with My mother in-law and My siblings in My house, my children, all numbering thirteen.
71. And we never knew what took place. Security people in the yard including Nicholas laboratories never noticed it. Four storey building. On the main road. You know where I was living as at that time.
72. Nobody noticed even the heavy smoke, not even the security people. We finished the morning altar in the morning, not knowing that something took place, until we wanted to enter the kitchen.
73. Kerian entered. Everywhere was dark. He stretched his hand and the fridge gripped him. I hurriedly used My leg to hit him out when he shouted. We invited Power Holding officials living around, including brother Shed.
74. They checked the whole house to know where the fire started and what could prompt it. Nobody noticed it. The walls were broken into pieces. I bought a full 13Kg cylinder of gas that same day. The plastic bowl was on top of it with other plates. Everything intact.
75. The plastic bowl was burnt to pieces. The [kitchen] cabinet everywhere burnt. The wire or cable or pipe to the [gas] cylinder burnt into pieces. The cylinder never exploded. The refrigerator burnt beyond recognition behind it.
76. I thank God Bro Emma is here. Bro Emma was the one that came when we carried the refrigerator out. Bro Emma tested the refrigerator, tested the compressor. The compressor was still working. Everything intact.
77. They traced the wiring of the flat which I never tampered with after taking off the whole fuses and everything, they used their tester to test. There was still current in My flat from nowhere.
78. After controlling the whole thing, passers-by, everybody acknowledged that I am serving The Living God, especially Mama Ofili, who said, “If anybody has never seen a man of God, let them come and see one here.”
79. Then, a week after the incidence, reports started flowing in that that Man is indestructible, from the same source.
80. Another one took it upon himself, took My photograph, that of My wife and three children, did everything, no way.
81. Finally, he took it to where they call coven. I do not know where the coven is, either in Abuja or Niger State. He did it everywhere, no way. He went to the highest place and paid for our destruction.
82. On getting there, the person in charge of the coven summoned him to come the following day to get the result of whatever he did. He came and he was warned, “Never try it anywhere, even in a shrine. Anywhere you go again to try, you are dying there. The people you brought their photographs are indestructible.”
83. This is the origin of the indestructibility of The Son of Man and family. We shared the testimony here. And when that happened, there were two or three from here who are still in the Faith, who were witnesses, who even followed to know the end of the whole thing; Like Peter followed to know the end.
84. But I spoke My Word. Just a Word. Around all your reporting, remember I told you when Stephen Nwufo was there. Under the bridge, I announced it, with those who were with Me saying, “I do not know what I will preach to make a doctorate degree holder to be in this Faith. And a millionaire. Sir, I do not believe you have come to worship Go
85. “d. You have come to learn. We will teach you. Any day you get the knowledge that will help you to establish your own church, you are free. You can go with your wife and establish your own. Bro Emma, I assign him to you. Teach him how to turn the pages of the Bible.”
86. I told him to get a twenty-page exercise book where he will write the contents of the Bible in a chronological order. So, in that sequence, he can know how to find books in the Bible. And I succeeded.
87. So, when he got enough information, he declared himself the son of man by the prophecy of the wife. I said, “Yes. I appreciate it.” Then, when he later built his church, using those we excommunicated, who were prominent in end-time message, I was undaunted. I was not even touched.
88. They told Me where they said they saw the billboards, the day he said he was declaring it open in Abuja. Some said they heard about the whole thing in the news, the musical equipment, the drummers and things like that, preachers like Ben Adiukwu, Watson Fihala, Andrew Sariki and the rest of them.
89. I was not moved. I made only a statement, “We are two master builders. I am building. They are building. Anyone that stands the test of time, after being tried by the storms of time, by the flood, by the wind, fire, everything, that is the one we will follow. But if after trials, those works do not stand, anyone that is still standing, we will continue with that one. So, no problem.”
90. Phone calls were coming. I replied to Jos, “If you are interested, please go there.” For I learnt he decorated it very well with white plastic chairs, televisions and everything to attract people, because his business crumbled. El Rufai pulled down his business centre. The little he had, he now invested in running a church.
91. But on the opening day, arrangements concluded and everything, he took the ministers to show them the place preparatory for the evening when the whole thing will be bubbling.
92. They went there. They were wondering whether they missed the road. There was no billboard. From a distance, they looked and they could not see any structure. On getting there, it was like ordinary field.
93. Federal Government under El Rufai bulldozed everything, marched, destroyed both chairs, equipment and everything. Nothing was left. The ministers that came to officiate were wondering what could have taken place. It was a shocker.
94. You know, God is an expert in that. They went home. On reaching home, they saw a notice pasted on their door by a law firm. And the notice was not even notice to quit.
95. It was a ruling that had already been obtained from the Federal High Court in Abuja to evacuate him from the property he occupied illegally, that was owned by Major General Wushishi (rtd).
96. While he was waiting, the bailiff and the police arrived, evacuated everything and the man because an emergency tenant. I was not surprised when Brother Emma saw him in Nyanya with a raffia cap, with shovel and hoes.
97. And he told Bro Emma that he was going to farm on his land. That he has a land there where he is farming. If not for the wife who is a top staff in the FCDA [Federal Capital Development Authority], he would not have recovered.
98. Listen to Me very well. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING, MOST FEARFUL FOR ONE TO PRESENT HIMSELF BEFORE GOD IN JUDGMENT. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING; IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING; EVERYTHING, ANYTHING THAT CAN BRING YOU BEFORE GOD’S JUDGMENT, PLEASE, PLEASE, AVOID IT. NA MY BROTHER, NO DEY THERE. I KNOW HIM. NO SMILES THERE. Amen.
7
THE LORD SHALL JUDGE IDOLATERS
Note it. No woman smiles at the point of child delivery. It is after the child has been delivered that he woman can smile.
2. ANYTHING, EVERYTHING, SEMBLANCE OF ANYTHING, YOUNG OR OLD THAT CAN BRING YOU TO SON OF MAN’S JUDGMENT SEAT, AVOID IT THE WAY YOU AVOID SUICIDE.
3. MAKE NO MISTAKE OF SAYING, “I KNOW HIM. WE ARE FRIENDS. WE ARE THIS. WE ARE THAT.” IT NEVER STARTED WITH ME.
4. Remember I am a Muslim. If you know what a Muslim stands for, I am a true Muslim. I hate Christianity with perfect hatred for it contains no truth. If you know what a Muslim stands for, you will know that Judaism is preserved in Islam.
5. Without Islam, Judaism fizzled out. So, every Jew is a Muslim. If you like believe. After all, their greatest Prophet is Prophet Musa. There is no Prophet greater than Prophet Musa to the Muslim and to the Jew. Another Prophet is Elijah; To the Muslim, to the Jews.
6. Since they have these two in common, who is Jehovah to them? Who do you think is Jehovah to them? I am the One that will tell you where the error is, if there is any error. Whatever I have seen in the two religions is what I call political error.
7. That political error has to do with the administration of a state. The state encroached into their religion. The same way, among the heathens, the state encroached into their religions and they allowed that to stay.
8. I am not talking on that. I am a true Muslim and I know that. I know that to be true. There can never be anything Arab without Ismaila [Ishmael]. Ishmael is the origin of Arab. Who is the owner of Ishmael? Is he not the first son of Abraham?
9. Even when Hagar had a problem with Sarah, and Sarah pushed them out into the wilderness, who met them there? God. Who brought them back to Abraham? Be very careful, all of you. You should not tear your family apart because of the envy and jealousy between two women.
10. It is left for a man to determine the number of wives he wants to marry. It is not the woman that will determine for a man the number of wives he will marry today. A man has the right to marry one million wives, but for the woman, if she is married to one it is enough for her. Finish!
11. Is it your business if your husband marries one million wives? What concerns you is your relationship with your husband. If you want to have a good position in your husband, serve him very well.
12. He will give you a position in his heart. Not in the bed but in his heart. You can have a good position in the bed and a bad position in the heart. Brethren leave Me so that I can sit down.
13. Let us just look at few Scriptures and then about two Messages and come down. Let us look at Colossians 3:5-8 Amplified version of the Bible. So kill (deaden, deprive of power)…
14. So do what? Kill, deaden.
15. So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry…
16. All these things are what? Idolatry! (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God). Idolatry is defined here as it is defined also in 1 John 5:21
17. The LORD Speaks: You are deifying yourself and other things than God.
18. You see it. That is what idolatry is. Whatever that stands in between me and God…
19. The LORD Speaks: Defiling yourself with other things than God.
20. Giving other things Christ’s position in your heart, in your vision, in your plans.
21. The LORD Speaks: This is what is affecting everybody. Because we have not surrendered to Christ, we are idolaters and it is affecting us in every aspect. It is even causing troubles in our homes. Causing too many things we cannot even fathom out. Yes!
22. A situation where the Five-Fold Ministry has been sent into oblivion. Offering is something given to a beggar, not God. We give our offerings to a beggar. A beggar cannot even accept some offerings. Am I making sense?
23. Bro Ojiakor! While you stay there, Pastor Thomas, can you go there. Talk to your Brethren. You are a Pastor in Jerusalem. You handle this matter.
24. Tell them your experience, not even here. Even the one I saw from Enugu the other day made Me chill. I called Bro Ojiakor. I called everybody.
25. I came and saw a big envelope. Very big! They used cello tape to bind it. These Brethren came as usual. At the end, pastor Thomas collected, opened this thing. It was like somebody went home with the offering of the Brethren, and exchanged all the currencies with twenty naira, fifty naira and ten naira [notes]. The highest denomination, hundred [naira].
26. And every rough money goes to God. Some were torn into pieces. Some were half notes. That of Enugu opened My eyes. I said, “Ok, set it aside because I do not want to come near it. Open the rest.” Who can believe this? A Local Assembly [I do not want to mention names];
27. Now, let him mention. It is better he is there to tell you. When he reported to Me, I said I thank God for that. God is not a beggar and can never be a beggar. And they are giving according to the grace of God as God prospers them.
28. They are giving as they have volunteered; as they purposed in their hearts. They gave without grumbling. They gave without grudging. They gave cheerfully to their God. I really thank God.
29. These are the people that present their requests. Every week, their requests are coming. Financial requests. Even if they do not present their requests, I know where the needs are. That we get in trickles, we send money to them to solve their problems in hundreds of thousands.
30. Sometimes, we borrow from our missionary [account] to meet the needs of the Brethren so that the heathens around them will not see any reason to blaspheme God.
31. To administer a people is not easy. Human beings are hard. Pastor Thomas, can you talk to them.
32. Pastor Thomas speaks: Remain blessed Brethren. Brethren, what God is saying is pure Truth. There is one thing I have found out about God. God does not do anything without having a witness. There is a very big purpose why He does that.
33. The LORD Speaks: To Onitsha here, this is the table. They normally pour everything out here. These Brethren handle them here. You normally see some of our Brethren clustering around. They are coming to exchange money here. Speak on that, two of you.
34. Bro Chizoba Ugwu speaks:Sometimes we will give somebody smaller denominations and the person will return them because they are bad. Then we will ask them, “What do you expect us to do with the currencies?” This is because they are all torn, dirty and not presentable.
35. The LORD Speaks: These ones here. Here! I am not talking about other Local Assemblies o. A Local Assembly will send in ₦600 as their offering.
36. A Local Assembly where we know that even the Brethren and we know their occupation will send; even I banned them for there is no need travelling long distances to go and pay in ₦1,200.
37. You spend about ₦3,000 to pay in ₦1,200. That is rubbish. You better keep it to yourselves. We do not need it. That’s all. The Ministry is still on. But this is an arm of worship which nobody can deny.
38. In the five-fold ministry, your ministry is incomplete; your worship is incomplete. This offering is number 1. And the first offering goes directly to God.
39. I thank God I never initiated it. I allowed you. You know how it started. Just like the first one. I never spoke on that. I kept quiet until Nsukka got the revelation. It was Nsukka. It is just like Abuja got the revelation of baptism in the Name of Apostle Peter Odoemena. So Nsukka got this revelation.
40. They said they discovered they were stealing from God. That somebody who is coming to render sacrifice in appreciation or to give offering will give and while going, he will take it back. So, what has he rendered?
41. You offered me something and when you wanted to go, you still took away that gift you had already given to me.
42. When you gather, you will share among yourselves the same thing you claim you have offered to God. God does not know what you have done, but the sharing of the money was causing trouble among them.
43. They now decided that since the money was an offering made to God, the same should be taken to God. Some refused and said that it must be divided in such a way that they will give half to God and then they take half for themselves.
44. One argued and asked, “If you offer a goat to an idol and the chief priest keeps it behind the shrine, will you demand for half of the goat when you want to go from the shrine?”
45. I kept quiet until they resolved it among themselves. But at the end of the day, look at what is happening. I will not go to the other side. Pastor Thomas, comment on your experience first.
46. Pastor Thomas speaks: Brethren, we have to give serious attention to this matter. God gave us a Message, that we have the knowledge of whom God is, but we lack the zeal to worship him. Religious people do not have the knowledge of whom God is, but they have the zeal.
47. From the time the Message FIVE-FOLD WORSHIP came, this offering is a part of it. In the Message, THE YEAR OF THE JUDGMENT OF THE BRIDE, the 2018 New year Message God said that why he gave some people over to reprobate spirit is because they hardened their heart for a long time from repenting and changing.
48. We have not repented on this side. We have not changed. That is why we have appeared before the Judgment Seat of God. This is the reason why we have appeared before God’s Judgment Seat, because of our unrepentance.
49. God said that the only remedy to coming before Him in judgment lies in repenting and changing, not coming to Fellowship or going to church or praying.
50. I have said this thing here before. This is one issue which we must all give a serious thought: TO REPENT AND CHANGE FROM THIS BAD BEHAVIOUR.
51. The LORD Speaks: Tell them your experience.
52. Pastor Thomas Speaks: So, when I get the envelopes, I am the one who counts the contents. There are some envelopes I open and what I find inside the envelope will just be ₦600 for two weeks. Some envelopes contain ₦1,300.
53. Just like the LORD had said before, there was an envelope from Enugu. The size was very big. In me, I concluded that this must be ₦100,000. So, when I opened the envelope the contents were three ₦1,000 notes.
54. The rest of the content of that envelope were ₦50, ₦20 and ₦10 notes. If you were there when the envelope was opened, you will be shocked. I am telling you the truth.
55. The was the same way the rest of the envelopes turn out with their contents which were offerings collected for a period of two weeks. There was no envelope there that contained any reasonable amount of money which goes to show that we are giving grudgingly and not willingly.
56. God told us that this was the same reason why Moses told God not to accept the offerings of these people. And Moses rejected their offering.
57. The LORD Speaks: God also rejected their offerings.
58. Pastor Thomas speaks: God rejected that offering. For the fact that Moses did not receive that offering, God can never receive that offering.
59. The LORD Speaks: It is in the Scriptures.
60. Pastor Thomas speaks: This is our condition today. Whatever we do, be it in words or action and The Son of Man condemns it, God has condemned it. if He accepts it, God has accepted it 100%
61. The LORD Speaks: That is only if they knew who The Son of Man is. It is only when you know who The Son of Man is.
62. Pastor Thomas speaks: All these Messages that we have been rehearsing and rehearsing is for us to change our hearts and our minds for our own good. It is not for God’s own good. It is for our own good so that we will escape the Judgment Seat of God.
63. Some Brethren pay money into my account especially those who are far from Onitsha like Bayelsa. I do not know how far the bank they pay the money is from their location, but what they paid in as their offering was ₦1,300 after three weeks of collecting Sunday offering.
64. This is the same with the rest. Jos pays in theirs may be once in a month and the highest they have paid in is three or four thousand. So, what God is talking about all these thing, He is seeing these offering as offerings that were given grudgingly.
65. That is why He said that I should come out as the person who manages these offering to speak concerning my experiences so far. This is because, if you watch the denominations, the general overseer is the overall in all the offices. Nobody has the right to come and look into what he is doing.
66. So, if the general overseer comes out to speak about this type of experience, some people might be saying that he is exaggerating the whole thing or that he is telling lies. But this one is open to everybody. So, it is better for us to change our hearts when there is time and hope. Remain blessed Brethren.
67. The LORD speaks: The idolatry among Brethren is making Me sick. My greatest joy is that from the beginning [1990] I came into your midst till today, I never came in a beggarly way and I never presented this Gospel in a beggarly way. If I am poor, this Ministry impoverished Me. It is on record.
68. I, personally, single-handedly ran the affairs of this Ministry for nine years, with help that came when Bro Ojiakor relocated to Eha-Amufu. And then, late Bishop Moses. There was no other.
69. I was taking care of families and their troubles. And the irate youths; all of them I met as jobless and Bible-carrying ministers. And I have been battling to get all of them established till today.
70. I trained many in different skills and established them, men and women. I established businesses for them so that this Ministry will be light for Me to carry, for I do not believe in giving anybody a fish. I believe in helping you to know how to fish.
71. But unfortunately, only a few picked up. The rest were indolent, even till today. Hence, they are living from hand to mouth. I never ignored them by and by. I encouraged them to get married anyhow.
72. I spearheaded the marriage here and there. And then turned over to the youth, for every nation is built by the youth. I started motivating the youth and I am trusting God. They have not failed Me.
73. I am still building them up, believing that My Word which I spoke long long time ago when I took off with them, I said, “I KNOW I AM SOWING A SEED. I AM GOING TO REAP THE FRUIT IN THE FUTURE.”
74. So, I began to invest in the youth. I diverted their attention away from social life, social work to education, which is the shortest cut to eradicate poverty and ignorance. And I am happy at where I am today.
75. How I wish this tempo can be sustained. And God helping Me, I am mobilizing My resources, everything within My disposal to continue to encourage as many as are willing to read, willing to learn one skill or the other and I will keep on encouraging all until the day I will become very weak.
76. Even if everybody will forget, there are one or two who will not forget. They will never allow Me to walk on a wheel chair. They will say No! For they know I spent My life, I spent My life, My money, My time to help them up. I do not need to mention names. You know the few of them.
77. I am happy you are all bearing witnesses. What is more, none of My children is included in the program. Even when I was thrown out of My job, I never gave up. I became an apprentice and at the same time responding to their needs.
78. After apprenticeship, God picked Me up. I continued from where I stopped. No relenting, for I have a target. I am building a new generation of people that I think will live with Me eternally. That is My target.
79. I mean, even if I do not get all of them, I will get some out of them. 60% is a credit. If I am raising a poultry of 100 chicks, and I succeed in getting 60 out of 100, it is a credit.
80. I do not expect to get 100%, but if I record 100, in other words, I suffered no single loss, in spite of the attacks of avian diseases or coccidiosis, of course, I will be the greatest. No poultry farmer has ever recorded it. There are too many diseases that will reduce the number. Even his carelessness can cause a colossal loss. Amen.
81. THE LORD SHALL JUDGE AND VINDICATE HIS PEOPLE VOLUME 1 Pg. 79 vs. 25 – 27 He will judge in righteousness. He will evaluate everyone to know the extent we are separated unto Him as a Holy people unto God, called for separation.
82. From the Old Testament, He said He has severed His people from among other people that they will be His own. In the New Testament, He said, “Come out from amongst them and be ye separate. I will be your God and you will be My sons and daughters. You are holy, separated unto God.”
83. So, God will judge everybody to know the extent we are separated unto Him whether we are still paying lip service. If we are separated unto God, why the unbelief? Why the rebellion? Why the stubbornness? Can a man strive with His Maker and yet remain separated unto Him? No! Who is playing fool of who?
84. The LORD Speaks: FINAL WARNING! It has come to My notice that some Brethren, notably some Pastors who feel committed to their duties in their Local Assemblies use their money to represent their Local Assemblies as their offerings. This should stop now.
85. Give your offering as you purpose in your heart. Even if everybody in your Local Assembly does not give a kobo, do not bother.
86. God does not accept whatever you are giving on the basis of its quantity or face value, but on the basis of the state of your heart.
87. Thank you and remain blessed in Him eternally. Selah.
