Preached on 16th APRIL 1996 At  THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA  By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN “Truth has no substitute” At BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLD-WIDE

I am the oldest man on Earth – forget about my stature – that is why I brag too much. I brag too much because I am the oldest man that is living on Earth, a

living legend. Believe it if you can ….

– The Son of Man

From the Message: FELLOWSHIP, PP 3.

God specifically predicted the time of the establishment of the Church. God does everything according to His time; He is a very meticulous God. If we trace how God started this Church, we will understand that He planned it so from the beginning. He promised it according to the purpose He had in His heart. It was His eternal purpose. He hid it in Himself even before the world began.

We saw how the Prophets prophesied about it; we saw how Christ fulfilled all these things; we saw how the Kingdom came down gradually, starting from the wilderness where our fathers were privileged to catch a glimpse of it.

I will show you that somebody had to spill his blood because of it and since then, many have been spilling their blood for it. –The Son of Man.
You do not know that some people were beheaded because of this Kingdom; some were sawn asunder; some were peeled and skinned alive all because of this Kingdom

(THE REVELATION OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. PP 80 & 89, VERSES 32, 34, 62 & 63)

FIX YOUR EYES UPON HIM (CHRIST)

Let me begin by asking this question: Do we have a “sinner saint” or a “holy sinner”? The answer is NO! I thank God for this ministry. I thank God for this Message.

2.            You see, in a twinkle of an eye a sinner can be a saint when his faith anchors in the written Word of God and also in the Spoken Word, which William Branham called God’s own Urim and Thummim.

3.            Many in End Time Message are foolish. William Branham said in the Message he called “The Absolute;” he said, “Many of you take me as your absolute but I have my own Absolute, THE HOLY BIBLE. I shout on you, go back to the Word!” However, the people stopped there.

4.            William Branham said, “Say what I said.” Now what did William Branham say? GO BACK TO THE WORD. End time Message why didn’t you obey? Why didn’t you go back to the Word? Then you stopped. Remember, “Say what I said.” They are disobedient children, they are cursed children. Check your Bible, it is in second Peter. Disobedient children, cursed children.  

5.            What is God doing in our day? I want to show you what God is exactly doing. Do not ever limit what God is doing to Nigeria alone, it is a worldwide movement.

6.            When He (God) spoke to us, He said, “It is not calling an Angel that matters but following Him. Be careful the way you follow Him. Do not go to the left; do not go to the right. Fix your eyes upon Him. There lies your salvation. I have not raised Him alone. I have raised them up in the four corners of the Earth. They are to gather my elect. Because any moment from now I am going to visit the world with my wrath.”

7.            It is in tape. It is in register. Now let us confirm it through the  Scripture.

BE READY TO DIE

8.            St. Mathew 24 : 28-31, “For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

9.            Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

10.         And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

11.         And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” KJV.

12.         This is exactly what God is doing now. God is gathering all His elect from the four wings of the Earth. Where is He gathering them? Around His Word. He is separating them from the worldly system. He is making them to recognize His Voice. AS MANY AS WILL NOT COME IN, THEY WILL PAY THEIR PRICE WITH THEIR OWN BLOOD. Now that you have come in, do not allow the troubles that you are going to face to throw you out.

13.         I know we are called to die, I know we are dying. Nevertheless, remember that evil men are dying also. Who will not die? You see, our own is better for we have a better hope.

14.         The moment we leave this mortal flesh, we join the heavenly tabernacle till eternity. Now for that, be ready to die.

15.         Acts 21 : 13,Then Paul answered, what mean ye to weep and to break my heart? For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus”. KJV.

16.         People were weeping, “My friend why are you going there? Why do you want to die there?” Your weeping was just making mouth. I am not only ready to go to Jerusalem but I am getting ready to go there and die for the sake of the Gospel of Christ.

17.         There is no way you can hold this truth and escape this death. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. If because of the suffering, because of the persecution, you draw back, the Spirit of the Lord will not be pleased with you. You will draw back even unto perdition.  However, we are not among the people that will draw back unto perdition. We will stay steadfast unto the saving of our souls.  

18.         Why not say, I am able. God will see you through on the state of your sincerity.

19.         Second Corinthians 5 : 15, And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again”. KJV.

20.         He has first of all paid the price. While we live, we are not living for ourselves rather we are living for Him. If we die, we are dying for Him. Whether we live, we live for him. Why should we be shaken in mind? I am just telling you this ahead of time because I know that is what will accompany this Faith. It is at the door step. It is not too far.  

21.         Revelation 20 : 4, “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them…”

22.         Remember it is a revelation. It is prophetic.

23.         “…and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,

24.         Note, it says, “The heads of them that were beheaded.”  Is it because  they were murderers? No. For what reason? Remember this is revelation. Christ revealed what will come. It has not happened yet, so your head is there. My head is there also. If you do not want your head to be there, you do not want eternal life. Can Christ tell lies? The Bible said that it is the revelation of Christ our Lord, which He gave to the Churches through Saint John and your names were there. Your heads are there. Hence, you can’t escape it.

25.         The earlier you know the truth, the better for you. What am I saying; I am reconditioning your mind so that you do not labour in vain. Remember that this Church of Christ, the Bride Ministry is set for a sign that must be spoken against in this dispensation. How would you see it if because of a little boy called Jesus, your own son or daughter is killed? What would you say?

26.         When Herod gave the law that any child from two years downward should be killed only in the attempt to kill Jesus, those women whose sons and daughters were killed, what do you think will be their reaction towards Mary and Joseph?

27.         If you were one of them, won’t you say something? You will say, “This woman that has caused this predicament to come upon us will suffer!” What if you hear that, that child was not even killed would you like to see that child living, a child that caused the death of many?      

28.         I do not know if somebody is getting what I am saying. Remember, that child is this Church. You are that child because the Bible said that without us they are not perfect.

29.         You are that child. Since that time, all that lost their sons and daughters, they declared that child as their enemy and the child is here again on the land. She is no longer hidden. She has been presented to the world.

30.         From now watch out, Herod and Pilate, they were archenemies, but they will now make peace only to kill Emmanuel. The Bible recorded that because of Jesus Christ, in other to condemn Him to death, Herod and Pilate that were archenemies made peace.

31.         The End time Message, they have already betrayed God. End time Message, carrying sermon books, have already betrayed Him. They have now made peace with every other denomination. Can you imagine End time Message calling Deeper Life member “brother?” Roman Catholic, brother. Charismatic, brother. They have become friends only to kill the little child.

32.         I want to show you something, if you want to get the impact of the Message, request for the tape titled “Count Down ’94.” It is contained in four tape cassettes. Call for another tape titled “Rejected by this Generation.” Call for another tape titled “Christian Attitude towards Persecution.”

33.         Mathew 10: 32 -33, Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

34.         But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. KJV).

35.         Will you deny Christ that day? It is not easy. Pray that God will give you grace. Saint Peter said, “I will never deny you.” But when the situation changed, Peter drew back. Do not say “I will not deny.” Rather tell God, “I need your grace.” Without God’s grace, it is not easy.

36.         Let me show you a little thing. Sister Mike, it will take amazing grace for you to take a pan or bucket, collect the blood of your husband and remain in the Faith.

37.         It will take God’s grace for them to come to my wife and say, “Woman, you see this your husband that is troubling us, now get that bucket, you will collect his blood.”

38.         Before her eyes they will slaughter Me dead. Do not say it cannot happen. Other people could slaughter people as goat, don’t you know that they can slaughter you like goat? What do you think they say we can do? All other people belong to Roman Catholic. Are they not with us on the land? Are they afraid of us?

39.         After collecting my blood, they will say, “Woman, do you still want to hold that same Faith? Okay let us try your faith. Bring the bucket!” It requires God’s grace. That is why we do not boast. At an hour like this what we need is prayer. That is why I keep on telling you that we are now in Gethsemane ministry. The Church is finished. We are now in Gethsemane ministry and after Gethsemane what will follow will be the Golgotha.

40.         Let me tell you, unrighteous decree will not come out until the book titled “Behold the Man of Sin” goes into circulation. This is what has been holding it. The man of sin will not be revealed until what holds him is removed. Look at what has been holding him; now the decree will come forth. This book must be listed in many Churches and will be declared the greatest enemy of all the Churches.

41.         There is going to be a law: “Anybody that sees the book titled ‘Behold the Man of Sin’, destroy it. Do not read it for it is anti-Christ.” End time Message will even say it.

42.         I am giving you a little clue so that when you are holding it, if you have not been baptized into the Word, if you have not believed the Christ revealed in your day, you are dying in vain.

43.         If you are holding your faith (baptized) in End time Message and you die in defense of this truth, you will perish. Anybody that is baptized in End time Message, End time Message that is still in curse till today; even if you were baptized in the Name of Christ our Lord, you are like somebody that is baptized by a Reverend Father in the name of Jesus Christ by immersion.

44.         A reverend father can baptize somebody in the name of Jesus Christ by immersion. Can that make him to be right in the Bible? It requires a believer (child of God) to baptize a believer. That is why after baptizing them they will lay hand on that person; before you know it you contact that dangerous spirit. You will keep on struggling against it in your honest attempt to free yourself no way.  

45.         However, when you come to this Mount Zion, the city of Christ, you are coming face to face with the life transforming power of Christ, the Great Saviour. Your life can never be the same again. You must have an everlasting testimony.

46.         Watch people that are preaching wherever they go, they are preaching to entice men and men are following them. They will say, “If your business is failing come. Bring the lame, the dumb. Prosperity, prosperity, prosperity!”

47.         We are living in a dangerous world where people believe every kind of gospel PROVIDED PROSPERITY IS ATTACHED TO IT. They will just follow it, signs and wonders. If prosperity is the measurement, then the account of Lazarus and the rich man was a fake account. However, I know it was a useful account.  

YOUR FAITH MUST BE TRIED

48.         All we are saying in this Faith William Branham prophesied all of them. Besides, he told us to expect it: “Any time the Bride will appear, many forces will come out against the Bride.”

49.         He said, “When the innermost pit was opened, millions of demons came out of it to fight their last battle against the Bride.”

50.         St. Mathew 10 : 38-39, “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

51.         He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. KJV.

52.         This is the Word of the Master. If because of the persecution, because of the trial of your faith, because of all the troubles, you deny Christ, you are not ready to match forward. You are unworthy of the Kingdom. After all, man dies once.

53.         I want you to bear one thing in mind, what is that one thing? Romans 8 : 18, “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which be revealed in us”. KJV.

54.         Brethren, that is the comfort of every believer. Whatever that we are going to suffer in this flesh because of this Faith, is just nothing any time the glory is revealed. Brethren we can remember all these sufferings like we keep on singing in our songs. Your faith must be tried my Brethren. You cannot enter Heaven without experience.

55.         First Peter 4 : 12 -15,  “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

56.         If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye ; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

57.         But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.”. KJV.

58.          When you become partakers of Christ suffering, the Bible said, “You should rejoice.” KJV.

59.         How many will not like to be partakers of Christ’s suffering? Be sincere to yourself. Those that refused to be baptized into the Word, you are saying that you do not want to be partakers of His own sufferings. You want to please men. You want everybody to love you for Christ to hate you.

60.         Let me tell you, the Bible said that for the joy that is set before Him, He endured the Cross, despised the shame but you are not ready to despise the shame. You do not want people to call you “mgbeke” and you lose everlasting life. You will be the most miserable person. No wonder the Bible said, “Many will see the Kingdom and they will not enter it. But strive that you may enter.”

THIS CHURCH IS SET FOR A SIGN (1)

Acts 5:41, “And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.”KJV.

2.             Have you seen such a picture before? Peter and John were flogged because they preached in Christ’s Name. In fact they were not only flogged, the Bible said that they were squashed. Squash means removing all their cloths, then with whip, they destroyed all their body. While they were going home, they did not say, “This man that brought this religion has killed us!” They did not blame the Apostles, they did not blame the Prophets, they did not blame Christ. However, they went to their brethren.

3.            You see how they were sharing their testimonies: “Praise be to God!” They were rejoicing that God used them to fulfill that Scripture. But  can I see it in this Faith?

4.            If somebody is slapped tomorrow, it is the Apostle that will bear the brunt. That person will say, “Brother Odoemena has killed me ooo!”

5.             You heard the testimony in the Fellowship recently where one said, “You saw what I suffered. If not that I ran away, you could have seen what would have happened to me when I went to do confession. Apostle should bear it in his head. He is the cause of my predicaments. He is the one that sent me”. Why? Because of lack of revelation.

6.            I do not know where you are going to meet your own. I wonder if you would not blame the Pastor that day by saying, “It is the Pastor. God will reward you”. Watch the apostles, they did not say so. They were rejoicing because they knew whom they believe in. Let’s continue. I am speaking randomly.

7.            However, the old timers know what I am saying. “This Church Is Set for a Sign That Must Be Spoken against in This Generation.”

8.            Who among you in this Faith, the child will be killed and you remain silent? Anybody that is killed in this Faith, his parents must blame it on somebody, “My child that loves me, see me ooo!” THIS CHURCH IS SET FOR A SIGN THAT MUST BE SPOKEN AGAINST IN THIS GENERATION. Always underline it. They cannot speak anything good because of this Church henceforth.  

9.            First Peter 1 : 7, That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ”.

10.         Brethren it is going to be entirely a hard trial—very hard trial. It is not an easy thing. You see why you must be in Gethsemane. When Jesus the Christ saw what is ahead of Him, His mood changed. He told His disciples, “My heart grieved.” From that time, He dedicated Himself to prayers; and this is the last part of the ministry. If you think you can make it like that without the ministry of Christ, it proves you know more than Christ.

11.         Note it, the moment our own clock stops, their (the Jews) clock starts, and our own is about to stop. The Lord has made Me a Watchman over you. Throw away every weight of sin that will kill you. This is Gethsemane Ministry from now.

12.         Like I said earlier on, when Jesus the Christ saw what will befall His disciples, tears rolled out from His eyes. I weep every day because I have seen the clear picture. If you have not seen it, pray that the Lord will reveal it to you.  I will keep on encouraging you. Ready to die.

WHOSE TIME IS IT?

13.         St. Luke 12 : 4 – 5, “And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”.KJV.

14.         Who is that person that can kill and has power to cast somebody into Hell? I want to show you that man.

15.         Revelation 1: 18, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death”. KJV.

16.         I have the keys of Hell and of death. Here is that man, He that is walking in the midst of the Seven Candlesticks gathering all the loose ends. No other person has the power to unlock Hellfire except He that has the key. I am not the writer of the Bible, it is very clear: “FEAR HIM.”

17.         Any moment from now, unrighteous decree is coming out according to Isaiah chapter 10 verse 1.

18.         RECOGNIZE THE HOUR WE ARE LIVING IN AND WHOSE TIME IT IS. IT IS THE TIME FOR THE REDEEMED. The time of the redeemed is come because we are almost at the end. The redeemed will be presented to the Father Who is the King of kings.

19.         Isaiah 63 :4, For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.” KJV.

20.         Note, the day of vengeance is in mine heart. The year of my redeemed is come. This is our own day. This is our own year. Miss it, you have missed it forever because He has purposed it in His heart to avenge all wickedness. I thank God we are not appointed to receive His wrath.

21.         Second Thessalonians 1 :7 – 12, “And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

22.         In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

23.         Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

24.         Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power.” KJV.

25.         Is it like that in your Bible? Have you seen that vengeance is in the heart of God against all of them that believed not the doctrine of Christ. You see why we keep on saying that any man that refuses our Gospel is doomed. He has no hope again.

26.         First Thessalonians 1 : 9 – 10, “For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

27.         And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” KJV.

28.         First Thessalonians 5 : 1 – 10, “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

29.         For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

30.         Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

31.         For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

32.         Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.” KJV.

33.         At an hour like this, what is God expecting from us?

34.         Psalm 50 : 1 – 6,. “A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

35.         Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

36.         Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.” KJV.

37.          Gather my saints together. You cannot see anybody called a “saint” in the Old Testament. This is prophecy. That is why He is in the business to shout, shout, and shout. He is coming to judge His people. For that reason, gather my friends together; Heavens will declare His righteousness for the Bible said He will judge the world in righteousness.

38.         Zephaniah 2 : 1 – 3, Another end time Prophet. “Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;

39.         Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’s anger come upon you.

40.         Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger. KJV.

41.         Which decree is coming forth? Gather yourself together all the elect of God and all the saints of God before that decree comes forth. Recognize yourselves now. If you do not gather now and recognize yourselves, when the decree comes forth, you are all doomed and defeated. Know yourselves now before that unrighteous decree comes forth. Know those that are your Brethren in like precious faith; lest you run into the house of your enemy.

42.         Where do we gather? The book of Joel chapter 3 answers that. That is where the whole judgment and everything will end.

43.         Joel 3 : 14,  Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” KJV.

44.         It is prophetic. He is an end-time messenger; Joel is one of the end-time messengers. Zechariah is one of them also. Haggai, Habakkuk, Nahum, Malachi, and William Marion Branham, they are all end time Prophets.

45.          Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3 : 14,  KJV.

46.         Have you seen what the Spirit is saying to the Churches? I am speaking in devise ways. If you are an old timer you will know what is happening.  

47.         I have touched on so many things. Time is my greatest enemy. I know many of you are living in the world that is full of worries. Do not ever give any excuse why you should not gather around the Word of God. Do not allow your business to hinder you because you have been doing business since you were born. Anything you have not attained up till now you cannot attain it again. Amen.

CONSIDER YOUR WAYS

The book of Haggai 1 : 4 – 7: “Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?

2.            Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. Ye have sown much, and bring in little…” KJV.

3.            All farmers and business persons note it. Your farming or business is making you never to be faithful to God’s work. All the years you have been planting seed, yet you still buy Garri  from the market. You buy yam from the market. You sow plenty, you harvest a little. Yet that farming or business is hindering you from worshiping God. Note it, the Bible is saying, “Consider your ways.”

4.            “…Ye eat, but ye have not enough…”

5.            What the stomach will eat; every day, “Brother how is it with you? Why are you not in the fellowship?”  he will say, “Man is looking for what belle will eat.” You keep on eating and eating yet you are never, never satisfied. What belle will eat will hinder you from worshiping God, yet you can never say you are satisfied. Consider your ways.

6.            “…Ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink….”

7.            All you drunkards, wine drinkers, you drink, drink and drink;  and you forget yourself. You are never satisfied, consider your ways.

8.            “…ye clothe you, but there is none warm…

9.            Brother Kelechi, all of you fashion men and women in this Faith;  every material in the market is for you. Dress and dress and dress yet you are never satisfied. Consider your ways.

10.         and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes…”

11.         All these civil servants, workmen that can earn money all the years you have been making money, you are putting it in your pocket and yet every day you complain that there is no money. Before month end, no money. All of you, where do you put it? In empty pockets.

12.         You put it inside bags with hole. Every day your bag is empty yet it is that work that is hindering you from being a child of God. The Bible is saying, consider your ways. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, “Consider your ways.”

13.         “…Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.” KJV.

14.         Vengeance is coming. This year is the year of the Redeemed. It is of no mercy. God is coming with vengeance. Fire is coming from His mouth to devour all His adversaries. Who will escape? Only the redeemed. From now God is saying we should go and consider our ways.  

15.         If it is not Bible, then it is not truth. Well I would have shown you something but somebody might even be stumbled. You must surely suffer. Let me just give you a little hint of it; why you must suffer so that God will know those that are His and those that are not His. I will show you something now.

BEHOLD THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED

16.         Daniel 7, see what I am going to do, I will just wave it. It is hidden somewhere. However, I have conditioned your hearts so that any time it starts you know I have told you. What we are going to see in this book of Daniel is another Nebuchadnezzar coming on the scene. He will not come in the name of Nebuchadnezzar. He is coming in the name of a dictator. He is going to be a worldwide dictator; and his name will be “the Beast.” He will be the anti-Christ.

17.         In the world today, we have many anti-Christs. But he himself will be “THE MAN OF SIN.” He will be the anti-Christ. He will stay in the Holy city, in the temple, and proclaim himself God. He will speak great blasphemy against the Most High; and it is no other person than THE POPE OF ROME. That is why you must be killed. He must wage war with you and he will prevail against you because you are in the minority. How many years?

18.         Daniel 7 : 15 – 27, “I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me; and made me know the interpretation of the things. These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out to the Earth. But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom”. KJV.

19.         Now note it, the saints of the Most High shall take the Kingdom and shall possess the Kingdom, for that, they must be punished. Are we not in the Kingdom? Have we not taken the Kingdom? Something must happen to us.

20.         “But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom”. KJV.

21.         You see why we are going to be persecuted because he said, “What else can they have, but the Kingdom?” Is there any other thing causing the trouble? The problem between us and the Devil, is it not the Kingdom?

22.         Saul said to David, “I must surely kill you. After all, what else can you have but the kingdom? But over my dead body.”

23.         What is causing the trouble? That the saints of the Most High will gain the Kingdom and gain it forever. Really we have won the battle. Satan has lost the battle. Other Churches have lost the battle. Do you think they will leave you like that? They must torture you.

24.         Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful…”

25.         The first beast was different from all the others and exceedingly dreadful. If you look at it, it looks like a monkey.

26.         …Whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

27.         And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell… Now look at verse 21 and 25 quickly.

28.         beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

29.         Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

30.         And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” KJV.

31.          “While I was looking, that horn made war on God’s people and conquered them. He will speak against the Supreme God and oppress God’s people. He will try to change their religious laws and festivals. And God’s  people will be under his power for three and a half years.” (Daniel 7 verse 21 and 25, GNB.)

32.         Is it not in the book? It is in the book titled “Behold the Man of Sin.” That’s why we are dying. Because we are telling them that God had already revealed those things to us. For the Lord our God will do nothing but revealeth all His ways to His servants the Prophets.” He said, “These things will I do, before they will come to pass, I have already declared them to you.”

33.          For I have seen this horn warring against God’s people, and winning. He will defy the Most High God and weary down the saints with persecution and he will try to change all laws”. LB.

34.         Wearying down the saints with persecution. That is why we were telling our young pregnant Sisters, that is Sister Mike’s group; a time is coming when they will be running with their last strength in order to live; while those with kids will be struggling, wearying down the saints of the Most High by persecution.

35.         I will tell you how long it will last, so that you have it in mind. However, somebody will say, “Brother, I thought it will be in 1996.” Well, if it happens in the year 1996, Glory be to God. If it happens in the year 20,000000(Twenty Million) no problem. But let Me be found faithful in that day. Amen.

THIS CHURCH IS SET FOR A SIGN (2)

I have many things that I would have told you but I will wave my hand and hold my hand. Foolish people in the End Time Message in those days, contending over a revealed Scripture.

2.            Daniel 12 : 1-7, And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

3.            And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”  

4.            This trouble, immediately after the trouble, what will follow is the resurrection of the saints. Confirm it with Mathew. Immediately after the tribulation of those days, what will happen? It is the coming of the Son of Man.

5.            All this while, I have been hiding these things from all of you so that we keep on rejoicing. But preparing us to know that suffering is a reality. If we come into Gethsemane, I will tell you the whole truth as He revealed it to me. For I am also in the same Gethsemane. I do not need to tell you to pray again. I do not need to tell you to go and pray.

6.             And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

7.            But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

8.            Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

9.            And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

10.         And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that liveth forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.” KJV.

11.         Verse 7 The angel raised both hands towards the sky and made a solemn promise in the name of Eternal God. I heard him say, ‘It will be three and a half years. When the persecution of God’s people ends. All these things will have happened’”.(GNB).

12.         Do I owe you again? Which means the moment it starts, it will continue to the end. The Bible said three and half years. Am I the writer of the Bible?

13.         He replied, with both hands lifted to heaven, taking oath by Him who lives forever and ever. That they will not end until three and a half years after the power of God’s people has been crushed”..

14.         Brethren, I have many things to tell you but I have a Message I wanted to give to our visitors, and that is “Cost of Discipleship.” Nevertheless, if you love that Message, give us cassettes. We will record it for you. We have it in tape. God bless you.

15.         Rise up as we present the Book to God. I do not need to tell you to pray. You have heard what is befalling the Church. That this Church is set for a sign that will be spoken against in this generation. What must be our attitude?

16.         God said it is in Gethsemane. Gethsemane is the answer, and now you do not rely on your own power. Rely on God. I do not need to tell you what to pray for, if you really understood the Message, talk to God this hour.

17.         On this note I say thank you and remain blessed in Him eternally.
