NEW YEAR MESSAGE, 2018 PROPHECY ON HEALING OF THE FAITHLESS Preached on ON 2ND JANUARY, 2018 & 24TH DECEMBER 1994 RESPECTIVELY At SON OF MAN’S FAMILY ALTAR, NSUGBE AND THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE” © BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLD-WIDE
LET THE WORD OF GOD SETTLE IN
YOUR HEART AND NOT IN YOUR BRAIN
If you are still living carnally, the affairs of this world are still controlling you, always mindful of eating and drinking, there is no way the Spirit of God can have His way in your life. The Spirit of God will find it difficult even to come in.
2. Hence; there will be no room for Him to settle in you. The Spirit of God can never have a resting place in the heart of one who is not mindful of the word of God.
3. This is 2018. Take note of what you are hearing from Me this morning. Today is not a day of preaching, today is a day of meditation.
4. Whoever that is not mindful of the word of God, the word of God can never have a resting place in the person’s life.
5. You can only meditate on that which touches your life. Whatever you fix your mind on, can it easily be forgotten? And you can only do it if only it is important to you.
6. If you are in the school and you want to pass in your exams, there is a topic that will be taught and it will be on the head, you will be struggling on how you can solve it because academic knowledge is stored in the brain, while the wisdom of God goes to the heart.
7. Any knowledge that changes life is never stored in the brain. It is embedded in the heart. That is why we are asked whether the word of God has found a resting place in our hearts. That is why it is said that whoever that must worship God, must worship God in spirit and in truth.
8. For it is the message that dwells in your heart that can change your life. Whatever atrocity you commit in this life emanates from the heart. No evil is fashioned from the brain.
9. Evil habit emanates from the heart. That is why it is always difficult to be wiped off. For anything that emanates from the brain can easily be forgotten. But because it emanates from the heart, it hardens up.
10. Any promise that is made to you can never be forgotten because it is stored in the heart. And that promise will remain there until it is fulfilled.
11. Brethren, am I telling lies? Your expectations will be on the promise. Even if you forget every other thing, will you forget the promise? No sir!
12. The same way, God wants His word to be in our hearts. If mere promise can remain in our hearts, why do we find it difficult to store the word of God which is more precious and important into our hearts?
13. It is because there is something in your heart that scares the word of God away. Anybody that expects changes to take place in your heart, when you are not mindful of the word of God, when you do not allow the word of God to have a resting place in your heart, to be a measuring rod in your life, to dictate your decision; it is just like we have rolled into the 2nd day of January, yesterday is gone. The month has started moving. Yesterday is gone.
14. Anybody that still recognizes today as 1st is still in the glare of another age. He lacks wisdom and understanding. The year has started counting. You may be relaxing thinking that it is still the beginning of the year.
15. Before you know it, 31st January will be over, and you step into February. “There is still time, later I will do it. I will do it later.” Before you know it, you will forget it and start looking for excuse you will give.
16. Once you begin to look for excuses to give, it is at that point that your trouble starts. Because a failure is always looking for excuses, to excuse himself out of the failure but can he succeed? Never.
17. A disobedient fellow will always be looking for excuses. Is there any excuse that can exonerate you from being guilty of disobedience, never, never. Stop looking for excuses. Go for obedience. That is what I am saying.
18. Stop looking for excuses to give, stop looking for an answer to give as a reason for your failure. Go and do that thing, obey the word of God. Allow the word of God to settle in your heart and not in your brain.
19. It is your brain that fashions out that reason which you want to give. It will not help you this year. No human being who worships God with the brain that will survive this year.
20. As many as that is using brain, using cunningness, for cunningness come from the brain. Lies come from the brain. So he will continue putting the thing together not minding whether he will be caught in or not.
21. Before you know it, the person will be making an incoherent statement. He will say this, before you know it, he will say another thing. You can hardly get his statement.
22. He will expose himself in the process of racking sense. As many that are found with such characters, this year is their doom. Amen.
2
THE YEAR OF DOOM FOR ALL EVIL DOERS
THIS YEAR IS THE DOOM OF ALL EVIL DOERS. UNDERLINE MY WORD. GOD IS GOING TO SLAM HIS JUDGMENT ON EARTH THIS YEAR.
2. WHOEVER THAT THINKS EVIL, THAT DOES EVIL, THAT DOES NOT TAKE THE WORD OF GOD SERIOUSLY, THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR OF HIS GREATEST REGRET.
3. NONE OF HIS ENDEAVOURS SHALL STAND. GOD CAN NEVER ANSWER HIS PRAYERS. AND NO MATTER HIS EFFORT TO ORGANIZE HIS LIFE, THE MORE HE TRIES TO REPOSITION HIS LIFE, THE WORSE IT BECOMES.
4. WHY? BECAUSE THE HAND OF GOD HAS RESTED ON HIM FOR DESTRUCTION. HE MUST FORGET ANY ADVICE THAT CAN HELP HIM. HE WILL EVEN FORGET HIMSELF. IT WILL HAPPEN THIS YEAR.
5. ALL THAT GOD HAS GIVEN OVER TO A REPROBATE MIND, HARDENED THEIR HEARTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE DISOBEYED GOD FOR A VERY LONG TIME, THIS YEAR IS THEIR DOOM. PUT THESE WORDS INTO YOUR HEART FOR I DO NOT KNOW WHERE ELSE I WILL SAY THIS.
6. IT IS CERTAIN TO ME THAT THE WHOLE THING WE ARE DOING IS TILTING TOWARDS 2020. I KNOW THAT. I KNOW THAT THE WINDING UP OF THE WHOLE THING IS THE YEAR 2020.
7. I will not give you the date neither will I tell you any other thing, but bear this in mind that 2020 is the climax. This year, do not be deceived by what you are seeing this morning.
8. All evil doers must smell hell this year. Whatever evil he will commit must be exposed by God. Even the evil thoughts of his heart, God must expose all, because God is bound to reduce the multitude.
9. This year is the year of manifestation of the true sons and daughters of God who worship God in spirit and in truth. Eyes will see how little they are.
10. As many of them that are in the church, that are in their families following their parents, following the Son of Man because of what they can get from Me, because it is said that the dog follows a potbellied man because the man must defecate or vomit and in each case, it is to the dog’s advantage.
11. As many of them that following the Son of Man not for eternal life, they will all get their doom this year, both male and female, including infants.
12. Thus, all their expectations will disappoint them. I am not talking about the world, I am talking about those hiding in the Bridal Faith, hiding in our families.
13. If it is husband and wife, wait and see what will befall them. From now henceforth, do not be amazed when you hear what befalls any individual or any family in this Faith for the hand of God is behind it, with effect from this morning.
14. God gave us the whole of yesterday for us to be sober, rethink and meditate over our past life and know where we are. The action starts this morning. God’s judgment started this morning.
15. BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN, GOD HAS SLATED THREE YEARS FOR THE JUDGMENT OF THE WORLD. GOD WILL JUDGE THE WHOLE WORLD IN THREE YEARS.
16. HE WILL JUDGE THE WORLD THIS YEAR 2018, 2019 AND ROUND UP HIS JUDGMENT IN 2020; AND ALL THAT WILL SURVIVE WILL LIVE IN HIS PRESENCE FOREVER.
17. I am not here to plead with you neither am I here to threaten you. I just want to give you the highlights of what it looks like. If you know that thing in you which has hindered and blocked the word of God from settling in you, it is that thing that has removed you from the presence of God; that has removed you from the salvation of God.
18. If you know that thing in you that makes it impossible for the word of God to have a resting place in your heart, that thing has made you a pagan in the midst of the worshippers. I am not telling you to be afraid or not to be afraid. Whether you believe it or not, judgment is here at last.
19. It has been long the judgment was foretold, God preparing it, emphasizing on the need for faithfulness and righteousness all these years. The last lap is judgment of the whole earth and isles will see the end of the whole thing.
20. Whoever that survives it will say that this is the finger of the Lord. No nation will wriggle out of it, there is no president that will wriggle out of it. You cannot escape it by going to church or through praying.
21. The prayer that will save you is for you to repent and change your heart immediately! Adjust your heart immediately! I am not pleading with anybody, I am telling you what is about to happen which has started this morning. There is no type of story you will not hear from our midst this year. The hand of God is behind it. The hand of God is behind it.
22. EVEN IF YOU HEAR THAT A WHOLE FAMILY IS WIPED OFF, THAT THEY WERE RAVAGED BY FIRE OR CARRIED BY FLOOD OR THAT THEY COOKED AND AFTER EATING, THEY ALL DIED, DO NOT EVER PANIC. WHEN GOD’S JUDGMENT COMES, NOBODY DIRECTS IT ON WHERE IT WILL GO.
23. YOU HEAR THAT SOMEBODY GOT CRIPPLED OR THAT HE SLUMPED AND DIED WHILE MOVING, OR THAT THEY WERE DISCUSSING AND HE SLUMPED AND DIED, DO NOT PANIC, THE HAND OF GOD IS BEHIND IT.
24. THIS YEAR 2018 WILL BE THE JUDGMENT OF THE BRIDE. 2019 WILL BE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. 2020, GOD WILL MAKE A DECLARATION OF HIS JUDGMENT. THE WHOLE WORLD WILL SEE AND AS MANY THAT WILL SURVIVE IT, WILL SAY FROM THEIR MOUTHS THAT: GOD IS JUST IN HIS JUDGMENT, THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH. IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN, KNOW THAT I AM NOT FROM GOD!
25. I WILL NOT TELL YOU TO BE SOBER. I will not tell you to calm down or to be wise, for what will make you to be wise is already here. What will make you not to be wise is equally here. Amen.
PRAYER
Let us pray. Our heavenly Father, while we are thanking You for keeping us alive till this day, we are equally praising and adoring You for carrying us, Oh God into the 2nd day of January, 2018.
2. We have heard thy word, and we know Your word is true. Nothing can cancel it. You have revealed Your mind to us in this family. The same way You revealed Your mind to Noah and his family.
3. Everything that happened in Noah’s day took the whole world by surprise but to Noah and his family, Father, it was not a surprise. So You did to Lot, so You did to Rahab, so You did to all that You selected Oh God for the purpose of salvation.
4. You never kept anything secret from them. To Abraham You said, “Is there anything I will do in Sodom and Gomorrah, in any part of the world without first of all calling upon Abraham, seeing that he is a friend who is able to command his whole family to obey You.”
5. Father, I bow down and reverence You. For that which You did in time past, that You are repeating in My day. You are ever keeping Your word, making it effective, repeating everything before My eyes.
6. My ears have heard. Father, all I am praying for this family, both those that are here with Me now and those that are in distance lands, in Lagos, in Bonny, I am making only but one request.
7. Father, help us to be counted worthy to escape all these things that are coming upon the earth and to stand before the Son of Man boldly, Oh God, to receive our reward, which is eternal life. Do not allow any to become a victim of this judgment. This is My earnest prayer.
8. To the entire Bride of Christ, Father, they are all in Your hands. You had earlier decreed it in prophecy that Your judgment will start, Father, in the congregation of Your people, that Your judgment will start in the church, that if it is scarce, very hard for the righteous to be saved, what will be the position of the ungodly.
9. In the Old Testament, when you finished the judgment before You, Father, removed the law, You started with Your people in the temple, You started with the elders. You scanned the camp to know those that were marked with the Holy Spirit.
10. Unfortunately, all the elders that were sitting in front, claiming to be one thing or the other, not even one was found, having the Holy Spirit. They were empty barrels, and then You judged the camp faithfully. That generation passed on, waiting for the resurrection day. Now is our turn.
11. I will say that we will never escape the judgment for it will start in the church, it will start among the believers. And this year, it has started this month. That is why Oh God, we humble ourselves at thy feet, looking up to You for our salvation, pleading with You oh Lord to help us to be counted worthy to escape all these calamities that are coming upon the earth, that are coming very swiftly.
12. For You had already told us that You are going to make a speedy riddance upon the earth, to render the earth desolate and devastated, but only a few will survive the holocaust. You spoke to our ears and we said Amen to it. Now, You have taken off. We are only looking up to You.
13. Remember Your promise. As many as you have imputed Your righteousness, Your holiness, Your faithfulness and perfection, Father, cause them to escape.
14. As many as You covered their sins, as many as You know no human being can input iniquity, as many as are numbered among the elect who no man can accuse even before Your presence, the devil cannot accuse them, you cannot bring anything charge against such people, for they are numbered among the elect, Father, please remember Your word, save them to the utmost.
15. To the rest of mankind, prove Yourself to them. Having taken off this morning on this frightening note, help us never to forget what we have heard. For You have revealed a little to us. It has started.
16. I know every day, You will be revealing more and more, more and more, more and more. Father, do something supernatural, something astonishing, something heartwarming all eyes will see and believe Oh God that Your judgment has taking off even in the midst of the Bride.
17. We bow down and say, “Thank you Lord.” In all our activities today, be there for us. Wherever we find ourselves, help us to acknowledge You. We hand over to Your care, our children in distant lands, be their God, be their Father, be their provider, be their protector.
18. May You never allow them to be victims of the judgment. May they escape it. To the rest of the families that are in the Bridal Faith, there is not even one you do not know.
19. With the eyes of human beings, we see them as members of the Faith, but You alone know those that are in the Faith and those that are not. For that reason we hand everybody over to Your care, may Your judgment prevail, that Your word will remain eternally, Father, true and faithful and worthy of all acceptance. May they say that You are the righteous judge, that they have never seen any variableness in You.
20. You judge with fairness and equity. Let Your judgment stand. To Your name belongeth the victory, the glory, honour, praise, our thanksgiving and adoration, worship now till eternity.
21. In any way the devil will try to buffet us about, to ask us questions intending to cancel what we have heard from our hearts, may he never succeed.
22. Let there be no soul that is conscious of salvation that will be handed down to reprobate spirit. Take all the praise for having heard My prayers which I have presented to You for Your name sake. Amen.
SECTION 2
PROPHECY ON HEALING OF THE FAITHLESS
PREACHED ON 24TH DECEMBER 1994
1
HEALING OF THE FAITHLESS
If you are wise, you must be vigilant this night. I am not God. He is God. When He comes down, there is no limit to what He can do.
2. No man can measure the extent He can move in the camp. The church do not belong to me, the church belong to Him. I am not the Healer, He is the Healer. My duty is to declare the word of God. Putting faith into men and it is His duty to confirm it to be truth or false.
3. Brethren, I have read the scriptures but I have never come across where Jesus said to somebody “sorry”. I have never come across it. Where He came saying somebody sorry. No, nothing like that.
4. But whenever you see Him appear, you see people running to Him because they know that miracle is on the way. That something must happen. Halleluiah. Satan has risen up.
5. The Healer is in the camp. If there is a time you supposed to have faith, it is this time because I have come here with packets of blessing. I have really come here with the packets of blessing.
6. Tonight is healing for the faithless, miracle for the faithless. Whether you have faith or not, God must confirm His word. Whether you have faith or not, the word of God standeth sure.
7. That is why I am here, that is why I am called to proclaim this upon all the nation that their eyes will see the Glory of God.
8. Right from the beginning God has never changed, His Power is the same. My God is greater than my problem. Satan wants to see you putting your hand in your chick; Satan wants to see you in a sorrowful condition.
9. That has been his desire, to bring you to a point where you will be asking the question, whether God is still alive or not. That is what the enemy wants to see.
10. But God is here tonight to lift you up so that the whole world will know that He is here. Whether you believe it or not I have the faith that God must confirm His word. If you believe it say Amen.
11. Your faith makes you whole; your faith makes you whole. I want to see somebody; I want to see somebody that has enough faith; that has enough faith; that has the heart of that of a little child, which can be able to accept the word of God so easily.
12. Who can say “God, this is my problem.” That can say, “I have seen the glory of God, I have seen His blessing, I have seen His anointing, God moving about in His vessel, moving about in His vessel, I believe it with all my heart that somebody is here already.”
13. God is looking for somebody that will put God to test, challenge God with his faith. Put your hand there, put your handkerchief there, put your cloth there; have faith in God, have enough faith.
14. Bring that handkerchief, bring that handkerchief, bring that handkerchief, bring that cloth, bring that cloth, have enough faith, place it here, place it here, place it here, have your miracle for the spirit is here already.
15. He is here already, He is here already, somebody has come, somebody is here, somebody is here, and I can see the power, I can see the power, I can see the anointing, I can see the power; your faith will make you whole.
16. I believe it with all my heart, I believe it with all my heart, I believe that there is healing, there is healing, there is healing in Christ’s Name; I believe it with all my heart.
17. Put God to test, try God tonight, try God tonight, try God tonight, try God tonight, try God tonight; bring that handkerchief, bring that handkerchief, in the name of Jesus; place that handkerchief here, in the name of Jesus.
18. I know that there is faith, put God to test, bring that your handkerchief here in the name of Jesus, I believe that with all my heart; your faith will make you whole, your faith will make you whole, your faith will make you whole, I believe it with all my heart.
19. Put God to test, put God to test, put God to test, try God this night, try God this night, try God this night then stand still, I say stand still, I say stand still, stand still, stand still, stay where you are, stay where you are for God is speaking, God is speaking, listen to Him, listen to Him, listen to Him, pay attention, pay attention, God is speaking. Amen.

PROPHECY
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? my servant, my servant, come and see me, come and see me, come and see me…
2. My people, my people, my people, this is the way I make my move, this is the way I make my move in every age, I always come but people will doubt, people will doubt, people will doubt. I have come down tonight, I have come down tonight, I have come down tonight, I have come down tonight! Doubting Thomas where are you? Doubting Thomas where are you? I have come at last, what have you seen at last? What have you seen at last?
3. This is the beginning, this is the beginning, it is the beginning, doubting Thomas, a lot of you have heard testimonies, a lot of you have heard testimonies and you have come to see, you will see, you will see, you will see and it is judgment on you, it is judgment on you for you will see, you will see, you will see, you will see, you will see, you will see.
4. What else? What else my people? What else? What else? What else? What else? see your unbelief, see your unbelief, I am your God; I have come, I have come, I have come, I have come; tonight is the night, tonight Is the night, tonight is the night, tonight is the night; struggle to enter, struggle to enter tonight; the road is narrow, the road is narrow, the road is narrow, the road is narrow.
5. My people, my people, my people, my people continue, continue, continue, you have not seen anything, you have not seen anything; this is the beginning, this is the beginning, this is the beginning; come back to your faith, come back to your faith, come back to your faith;
6. I have spoken in diverse manners, I have spoken in diverse manners and you seem not to understand. Watch out, I will show you, I will change to stumble you, to stumble you, to stumble them; I am going to change in terrible, in terrible, in terrible to stumble you because many of you will leave this faith, will leave this faith, will leave this faith, will leave this faith;
7. When I make my word, when I make my word, they will not understand, they will not understand because I am a simple God, I am a simple God; but now I have sworn, I have sworn to harvest the people, to harvest the people for I am here, I am here, I am here, I am here, I am here; now watch, watch! Watch! ……
8. I have come to show you something, to show you something … Amen.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD
Let me tell you my people, all this while I have remained quiet, watching you running about, doing as if you don’t know God; but now you have remembered me, I have remembered you.
2. I have heard your cry, I have calmed down for the hour has come for my people to be liberated.
3. Tonight is a special night. If you sleep this night, blame yourself for I am not here to wake you up. I don’t believe in makeup.
4. I don’t believe in forced worship. I will not because there is a lot of makeup in the society drive away from the original. Wherever there is counterfeit, there is original.
5. I cannot because of counterfeit in my pocket throw away the real money. There is no counterfeit in the Lord. When he comes down, somebody must know.
6. Have faith in God. You men of little faith. I say, have faith in God. As far as my God is established of the truth. As far as He is alive, my ship must remain afloat. I will never have a shipwreck; I can never drown because the captain of my ship is alive. It is He that is still commanding the church. Let us go over to the other side.
7. He that has started the good work in me and in you, do you thinks He will cut it half-way? Has He started anything without finishing it?
8. I am telling you that He is coming to perfect His work. Preaching the word of God without healing is incomplete. Because the word is the healer. When He speaks out the word, the word healeth them.
9. He doesn’t need the help from anybody for the word went out from His mouth in righteousness. And brought healing to us. Because He told us that He has heard our cry, because you have remembered me, I have remembered you also. For He has come down with healing that refreshes your heart.
10. And no man can counter the thing. Just anchor your faith there. If God said it, it is guaranteed. No man said it; He is the healer and forever and ever, He remains the healer. He desires worship and thanksgiving from a true heart.
11. In other words, He knows my problem. His thoughts towards you are the thoughts of good and not of evil. Thus saith Almighty God, to give you an expected end.
12. Who is that loving father that will see His child dying and He will close His eyes sleeping? Do you know what it took God to rescue a human being? Do you think that He will close His eyes to see Satan having hold of you? Never, never, never.
13. My God is never asleep. Whatever you are passing through, tell the God in our midst what you are passing through. Don’t tell it to any man.
14. Trust not in a man for the works of man is vain. Trust in God even unto death and He will never disappoint you. Trust Him unto death. Amen.
