— THE SON OF MAN

An excerpt from the Message: GENDER DISCRIMINATION, PP.

If there is a Prophet that gave us the impression that the world will not come to an end, we will be doubting it. However, all the Prophets have spoken that the world one day must come to an end and that God must surely judge this world’s unrighteousness.

The rapture is with us. You are all sitting down in your glorified bodies but you do not know. The journey that started thousands and thousands of years ago is about to come to an end.

-SON OF MAN

MINISTERS’ MEETING VOL 1. PP 87. VS 8-9

when God calls a man he calls his wife ALSO

There is no Ministry that comes from God without spoiling another man’s business. If this most holy Ministry is the Ministry of St. Paul, somebody must gang up and say, “If we allow this man to continue preaching this thing in this place, our business must spoil. People will not buy our goods again.” They must vow a vow to push him to death or drive him away.

Our Brother Maduabuchi came to Me and was testifying what the Lord did in a vehicle. He was going to Enugu and was preaching the Gospel in the vehicle, there was an uproar in the vehicle. People roared and roared, confusion everywhere, until one man rose up to smite him.
Another person rose up supporting him and said, “If you dare touch this man, I will kill you now! After all, what he is saying is truth.” He continued by saying, “My friend, continue preaching, from here to Enugu, we love it! What you are saying is truth!
Then one woman said, “What is truth? What makes it truth? He has condemned other Churches.” One man rose up and said, “My friend, you see what you have caused in this vehicle! Tell me, did Jesus cause this type of confusion? You should have at least softened the thing, make it low and simple like others. See the way you talk now and people are quarrelling in the bus!”
The problem became so much that the driver halted. Then two young men came outside to settle it with their fist. The man went on and said, “You see, if they kill themselves here, you are the cause.”
I said, “My Brother, that is what this Message produces. St. Paul preached it and they fought up and down. Anywhere you preach this Message and people say amen, relax and they are not in this Faith, you did not preach it. There is no place you will raise the sword and it won’t cause division, because it is very powerful. Hallelujah.
Satan cannot get any minister except through his wife. note, Ministers in this Church, ministers in all the local Churches, destroy bed pulpit for it has a very powerful influence on ministers. Bed pulpit starting from Amazu Oil. Holy Ghost has been shouting against it. Bed pulpit has a powerful force on the ministers.
If by now, Holy Ghost has not taught me how I should dwell with my wife, it means I am a hypocrite of all hypocrites. Every child of God, man or woman should have a little discernment. At times you discern the spirit that is in your wife that it is not proper, if you are a minister filled with the Holy Ghost, do not go near her and do not show any concern.
If you want to show any concern, show it inside. If you want to check her, check her inside. Even if she is dying while on the bed throughout that day, ignore it, go your way, do not even ask her what is wrong. If there is trouble, by and by she will get out from it. When you feel she is dying, she is not dying, Satan cornered her only to use her as an attraction to bring you in, it is a bait. If they are told and they did not believe, when are you going to work?
You know women are very crafty and they show the worst craftiness when it comes to this type of Ministry. They know that if they misbehave, their husbands will flash it in the pulpit. Thus, they try to cover up with a little smile and a little sadness. Moreover, when they want to demonstrate, they will not riot, they will demonstrate inside and show it in the bed by way of sickness.
How will you know that? It is by way of sickness. They will avoid kitchen, they will avoid their responsibilities and then to show that you have love for your wife, you will be washing the cloths, cooking the food, doing everything: “Darling, what of this one?” you do that, you are killing the family; you are killing the Holy Ghost. You have not done any good in this Church, you are weakening the Church.
If you want to know the spirit that is in the Church, look at the women in that Church. If the spirit in this most holy Faith is bubbling, our women must be bubbling. Weaker vessel means that you cannot preach outside and you cannot endure hardship like us. We give you some concession.
Let me show you, there are Sisters that followed St. Paul.
Neglect the other side of it that is quarrelling in the Ark. I have spoken to you on that. The day I comforted you in this Faith, one Wednesday, we were going home rejoicing, you have seen what you are, I mean the remnant, the few. Hence, when you see that quarrelling, neglect it, it is quarrelling inside the Ark. It has nothing to do with your soul. If it comes to Brother’s ears, you will say, “Brother, Sister cheer up be friends and be sisters.”
Philippians 4 : 1, “Dear Brother Christian, I love you I long to see you for you are my joy and my reward…”
It says you are my joy, you are my reward. You see what the spirit said.
…my loved friends, stay true to the Lord and now I want to plead with those two dear women Euodia and Syntyche please, please with the Lord’s help, quarrel no more.” LB.
Note, “please, please,” that is, pleading with them with the Lord’s help quarrel no more …be friends again.”
This quarrelling, is it outside? No! Is it outside? No! It is in the Ark. This one does not take anybody to Hellfire. It will only take somebody to Hellfire if they neglect the Voice of the Apostle.
If the Apostle speaks on the matter and the thing continues, they will leave the Church. However, when the Apostle speaks on the matter, they will say amen and that settles it and they will remain in the Ark.
…and I ask you my true yokefellow to help this women for they work side by side with me in telling the good news to others”
Were they preachers? They were working side by side. in other words, they were helpmates to St. Paul in telling the Goodnews to others. That is to say, they endured hardship with St Paul but it makes them weaker vessel? They are weaker vessels quite alright, not in the matter of Faith, after all we are receiving the same Message, confide into the same Body from the same Spirit. The same Holy Ghost you have as a Sister is the same Holy Ghost I have as a Brother.
When you want to comfort yourself in unbelief, “Darling, the Bible said I am a weaker vessel,” can you see these people? Did St. Paul sleep in the bush or in the house? Anywhere St. Paul slept is where they slept; the same canoe that carried St. Paul carried them also.
… and I ask you my true yokefellow to help these women for they work side by side with me in telling the good news to others and they work with Clement too…”
They worked with who? Clement! You see, another name, a silent minister. These women worked with Clement too. Recommendation of a man of God is perfect. Besides, these people including Clement, St. Paul was happy that their names were in the Lamb’s Book of Life. They cannot perish because their work is going before them. Not in the judgment. God has already approved it. Who can cancel it? Nobody! Not even one person.
…and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are written in the book of life. Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again rejoice” Hallelujah!
I say it again do what? Rejoice! Amen and amen.
Verse 4: “always be full of joy in the Lord, I say it again rejoice. Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do.” LB.
Let everyone see that you are unselfish, you are not selfish and considerate in all you do. Is it Bible? Am I the writer? I am the writer! If you like believe it, I am the writer.
Romans 16 : 1, “Phebe a dear Child of God woman from the town of Cenchrea will be coming to see you soon. She has worked hard in the Church there, receive her as your Sister in the Lord…”
She has worked hard in the Church there; receive her in the Name of the Lord as a sister.
…receive her as your Sister in the Lord given her as a warm Child of God welcome help her in any way you can for she has help many in their needs including me..” LB.
She has helped many in their needs including St. Paul. Sister, I am showing this thing to your shame, instead of being an encouragement, you will say it is in my belly, it is in my waist, it is in my leg. After everything, you will say, “We are weaker vessels; we are weaker vessels,” when God calls a man he calls his wife.
If I am an Evangelist, my wife must be an Evangelist too. If I am a Deacon, my wife is also a Deacon. If I am an Apostle, my wife is also an Apostle. Whatever I am is what my wife is. But unfortunately, women will just lose their revelation, they will not know what they are.
If I am bubbling and I am strong and my wife is weak, do you not know that the family is written off? That is why at times when I call my wife to come and testify on something I have already told her, especially secret things that come from the Lord’s revelation, and she just make her mouth somehow, I feel like stabbing her to death.

THE WORD OF GOD IS OUR SACRED TRUST

Nothing offends me higher than that. If you have known Me, if you have worked with me, you will know that I am never offended like when I call you to come and speak to the people on a matter I have discussed with you especially where you have heard utterances ahead of time from me concerning that thing and before your eyes that thing come to pass. I call you to come and speak on that thing, you come there and kept quiet, stammering, I feel like stabbing you to death because it shows lack of seriousness, yet you do not forget when you request for money: “My darling, how much are you going to give me for food? You said you would give me that money of last week.”
If you promise a woman something, until you do that thing she will not forget it. She will open the gate of thinking and violent hour, she will not know what she is again. That goes to show that, that woman hates God. Anybody that loves God, there is nothing the person will be mindful of more than the Word of God.
The Bible says that the Word of God is our sacred trust, God entrusted it into our care. When you like you go and read. I do not know why this Spirit is lashing women this night, because they have troubled this Church too much. Go and see people outside there, majority are women.
See Pastor Ifeanyi, what kept him outside? His wife! Why is he there? His wife! Why is he dying? His wife! She will come to the Church and resurrect, go home and become a weaker vessel and then become weak in weaker vessel. He has never taken a stand to say, “Weaker vessel become strong today. I will not listen to you again.” It is not every hour that you will listen to your wife; if she will pack away let her pack away. Let this Gospel stand.
Look at these women in this Scripture, …say hello to Pricilla and Aquila”
say hi, hello how do you do? Hello to Pricilla and Aquila.
…they have been my fellow workers in the affair of Christ Jesus”
A whole family, fellow workers in the affair of Christ not only making tent alone.
…in fact they risked their lives…”
In fact, in truth they risked their lives, do you know what it means to risk one’s life?
…and am not the only one that is thankful to them, so are all the Gentiles Churches.”
I am not the only one that is testifying about Pricilla and Aquila, the whole Churches in the Gentiles including Onitsha Church. Wherever this Gospel is preached, Pricilla and Aquila must be mentioned.
Anywhere the Gospel is preached will your own family be mentioned? Where you are struggling is not where I can help you but where God commissioned your own Ministry, you overlook it.
Men rise up; women rise up to your Ministries, enough is enough we have come to the most dangerous part of the Ministry and this is the time every woman will behave like a man. Not when your husband is travelling out you will be panicking. Two or three days, you will write a note: “I died four days ago, I resurrected four days ago” like Sister Ojiakor. Why did you die? Because Brother leaves you alone, Brother is not there to pet you.
This man does not know the spirit that is him, he has not even enquired, why not wait a little if you really have Holy Ghost?
Let me tell you, naturally speaking, I remember those good old days because, whatever I want to do, I do it very well. There is no big masquerade that is tied with a rope that will come out in the public and a woman will come and touch it, it can never happen.
A woman that knows that her husband carried a very big masquerade, when the husband is going out, when he puts off that mask and is coming back to his house, if the woman is wise she will gently give chance until the man will settle down, take his bathe and sleep gently, those spirit will now leave him. If she tries to come that time, she is coming for her doom. It is either she will die or she will nullify the power of the whole thing.
If families become very strong, all the Churches must be very strong because we all come from families. If I am speaking like this to families, what of you young men and young ladies that do not have families? You are your own family. How strong are you in your own family? Some do not even pray, some use the time they should use to pray to go from pillar to post.
“I went to a Brother’s house; from this Brother to this.” What they understand this Ministry to mean is “walking about ministry.” Moreover, anywhere they go; their mouth will never close. They will keep on talking and talking. Is this talking Ministry? No sir!
What of Sisters, in all their testimonies they cannot pray, why can’t you pray? Why can’t you study? Are you feeding a little child? Nonsense, and you want Me to commend you. This is the Church I will commend before the Almighty God say look at this Church.
See Philippians Church, St. Paul was making the recommendation say, let them continue to increase in their wellbeing that they are not selfish. They have never been selfish and they are not like this selfish Church.
This is a selfish Church. If you want Me to cancel it, you will manifest a Church that is not selfish and I will cancel it, but for now I see it as a selfish Church. Only few have the revelation of what we are preaching. For any little thing we say, it will be misconceived, they will misinterpret it.
If you were in the day when William Branham told the Church, he said, “The best gift a preacher requires is nothing but the word,” somebody will say William Branham started begging for sugar now, but had it been you have the revelation, I do not say you will bring, I will have enough. What of others that do not have? What of other preachers that do not have? If you bring it to me and I accept it then, I have committed crime? Nonsense!
St. Paul was bearing record of people and nobody has ever preached on this Brother Clement. You know about Philip and the rest of them, but Brother clement has been silent and many other Brothers. One day I will speak to you on Brother Forkunatusthe exploit the Lord used them to do yet in St. Paul Ministry also, and Brother Stephanus.
It is not changing your name that matters. These people, did they change their names? StephanusisStephanus. Clement is Clement recorded in the Bible, Apollo is Apollo, yet I am not stopping you from changing your name because it is scriptural. God started it, God changed the name of Saul, He also changed that of Peter. Peter was Simon.
Somebody is looking at the time. It is useless looking at it. Am yet to open the Bible from where I said am going to read. Since there is no communion service, you are not coming back in the evening why troubling yourself with time? Since am not reading the book of Revelation again, why troubling yourself? Yet I am not stopping you from taking your photographs. Amen.

THE BEHAVIOURS OF HUSBANDS AND WIVES

A wife must hate what her husband hates. A true wife must have the nature of her own husband, I am not to have the nature of my wife but my wife must have my nature. If she will not agree with me to live with me in my nature, she will now pack away. I am not to compromise with my wife but my wife will compromise with me.

There is no way Christ can compromise with the Church but the Church will always compromise with Christ. Where Christ ASKED her to stay, is where she must stay. it is not negotiable.
Women take note, if you happened to marry a man, a Brother in the Church, and you know that Brother is spiritual, he loves the things of God, show sincerity, automatically you must marry the man and his nature and you will now adjust yourself to meet the man’s requirement, for you to live with that man.
However, many a time what is killing the Church and other Churches? Men are now turning to adjust, to suit their wives, even when they know that their wives are completely glued to the spirit of their parents and they know the spirit of their wives’ parents. Is there any married man that does not know the spirit of his in-laws?
Hypocrites in the Church. You say, “I know,” and you see the trace of it in your own wife, and she is in your own house, won’t you rise up to tell her. Brothers, turn up as husbands by saying, “You either marry me or you go and marry your father. Do not bring your father’s idea here, do not bring your mother’s idea here, it must be my own idea. My own opinion, upon that I stand.” Finish!
Not a woman cornering you corner, corner, corner. Gradually the anointing is leaving you. Everything she does, the anointing will keep on leaving you until she stamps you slowly and you become an ordinary man. You lose your revelation. If you were somebody that used to preach, you do not preach again. If you have the spirit of teaching others in the family, no more! If you are used to praying, no more! If you are used to studying, no more! A little while you will bear the same testimony with your wife. As she is behaving before is not how she is behaving now.
God is bringing us back to where we started, unless we go back to our first love, no rapture in this Church. We must go back to our first love anywhere you meet God, there you will go and meet Him again. He is standing somewhere, He does not make a move. If you abandoned Him there, go there and meet Him there, finish.
Sisters, if you marry a minister, you are a minister yourself. The same way Brothers will be coming to me, I expect Sisters will going to their Sister. Where she cannot handle it, she will direct it to me. I do not expect every Sister to see the Apostle. My wife is also an Apostle, Apostle to the women.
Some of your domestic excesses should go to her. If I am a child of God enough, and I have established a standard there; if I am not a hypocrite, preaching what I do not believe. That is why I allowed you to come to my house. Twenty four hours my door is open.
There is one thing you will say and be guilty: “I have vowed a vow I will never disagree with my wife,” you are a blind man. How can you vow such a vow? How can you take such an oath? “I vowed a vow I will never quarrel with my wife.” You are crazy and blind.
What is controversy? You are giving that woman an everlasting licence: “Whatever you like, do. I will cherish you anyhow,” you are foolish and blind. You must disagree to agree, or you agree to disagree: “Hold it, I will hold my own,” it is point of no compromise.
God will vindicate who is who and who is on the Lord’s side. Men, stop dancing to the tune of your wives. Women start dancing to the tune of your husbands. If you believe that they are husbands enough, take it with joy. You can only disassociate from your husband if you notice that your husband is weak and unspiritual. He is weak and carnal and you are certain he cannot take you to God disassociate, I say disassociate. Do not join him. However, if he is a militant, very strong enough spiritual, hold on to him for that is your salvation.
More than one hour sleep for a child of God is nonsense. You stay sleeping at a stretch more than one hour is a pure luxury, real luxury.
In addition, if God has made me in such a nature that you can hardly see me inside sleeping, then my wife will become animal that sleeps so much always sitting on a chair and she will be sleeping, that is not my wife, I married another man’s wife. She must be busy, if she is in bedroom, she must be reading or studying or she is meditating. If she wants to cook, that is taking rest, one hour she will stand up and go about her business; after all, I have not known you for this one. I will not do that.
Although there are some, a man will say to his own wife, you are talking with your wife before you know it she will be sleeping, and then the man will close his mouth or be talking to the wall. Is it stick I am talking to, is it not a human being? When you are talking to your wife and she is sleeping, that goes to show that she is not taking what you are saying seriously. That is what it shows. If you want to know what I am saying, that period you people are discussing important matter, she will sleep off.
I will give you something now, one day discuss something about her parents and her relations, you and your wife will talk till daybreak, sleep will vanish. During the discussion, pretend as if you are sleeping, she will wake you up and start reminding you of so many things. Sleep has vanished, to show you that she never married one day.
I know how I tempt them. Ask my wife and the people that have come to my house. At times, I try to go in another way; I pass through the middle of the road and throw something there for us to know who will first pick that thing. If she first picks it I will laugh. What is that thing? I can just take her by surprise and design something, “Darling, this your people…” I am the one that dropped it there. What I am looking for is somebody that will not sleep; any contribution that comes out that time I will know that she is a cool-headed person. If by the time I will say, “Okay bye, bye,” from that time I will not speak on that thing again. For I have gotten what I wanted. Until she forgets it, she will not ask me again.
I know why I use that one. You can use anything you wish. Women are the same thing, when you are talking with your own husband and he is just dosing like that, use another thing. Remind that man of his relations, particularly his mother, remind him of so many things, that will show you the type of husband you married.
If you want to hate me, hate me. You have provoked something in me and I will speak as the Spirit is leading me. I will open the Bible when I want to open it. After all, do you know that I will be speaking to you this day. The way I felt before coming here, even I put it in the paper that after casting my offering I will carry my bag and go. I equally wrote it, I do not know I will even talk in the pulpit.
What is killing us? We are killing ourselves. We are using our hands to kill ourselves. You heard a testimony, a sister came to the Church, “I contributed to it. I am the one killing myself. Nobody does this to me.” Could this save her? Could that save her?
There are certain testimonies that some people give just for giving sake. The earlier you become men in your families the better for you. Become men enough and have real discernment. Most of the grievous mistakes you are making as a child of God is because you try to compromise with your wife; it is not that you do not know the outcome, you know you should not do it and you will know what it will result yet you go ahead doing it to please a Jezebel in your house.
I hope if we do not have Ahabs again in this Church? I hope we do not have another Ahabs again in the Church? We do not have another Solomon in the Church? Let us be very careful, especially when they mount pressure on you and Holy Ghost told us that the way you will know the voice of Satan is that it will come with pressure.
Do not allow Satan to tempt you into thinking whether Brother and his wife quarrelled, maybe Brother go to their place. I never discussed going to my in-laws with my wife. I was even with my mother-in-law recently. However, I am telling you that somebody sitting down in the Church is grossly guilty.
I did not say somebody that will come, somebody sitting down in this Church already, man and woman. Man dancing to the tune of the woman, compromising with woman—dumb dogs. Anytime the woman says she is dying, that is the time she is alive. Nevertheless, a blind man will think she is dying but she is not dying.
You know there is a way I test love. The way I test love is not the way you test love. I watch love in the word. No matter how my wife claims that she loves me and she cannot take me by my word, she did not love me. Brother Ojiakor is that true? Has it fulfilled in your family? How I wish somebody would emulate this way. If it is good for me it must be good for you.
No matter how you say you love me, cook, give yourself in the bed, bear one million children for me, they are useless to me. I keep my eyes on there. Until I see you loving me by the word. Until I see you there, you are a wicked woman to me. I am seeing my greatest enemy; I am taking care of my greatest enemy; because if you love me you must love my God.
A true Sister that is married to a true Brother, a child of God, will always have her eyes somewhere. Before you can conclude that your husband hates you and does this and that, look at your husband from the word angle and find out where your husband is inclining. Find out his inclination for that will help your judgment. If you do not find out his inclination, God will destroy you where you cannot escape it.
Even when you say you are sick as a Sister, you cannot be sick more than your husband. Anytime the wife is pregnant, the husband is pregnant also. Without the man, no woman can carry pregnancy. That is truth! That is why it requires a married man to be a preacher, if you are not married you close your mouth, you witness only, you do not preach. Because we preach our lives, we preach our homes; we preach our families, charity begins at home.
God wants me to dwell on this area for hours now because some people are guilty, some people are not reflecting the Message, some people are manifesting false love, man and woman alike and God hates it. we cannot go to rapture with it. The earlier we repent the better for us.
Let me tell you, the greatest thing that will happen to this Church, when I am talking to this Church, I am talking to the Churches. When you come to a point where nobody will be a child of God until he comes to Onitsha, we become a denomination. When you come to a point where nobody is Holy Ghost filled until he comes to Onitsha, we become a denomination.
If you are a child of God, you must believe that what I preach in Jerusalem is what I preach in all the Churches and no matter the local Churches you find yourself, you are there with God. You can only come to Jerusalem when the need arises and when you are led.
When it comes to a point where whatever is being preached in your local Church we will throw it into the dustbin and your hearts will be in Onitsha, as if when you come to Onitsha you will hear another thing other than what you are hearing, that is another sign of unbelief. First of all you rejected all the ministers God gave you there. When you claim you are higher than them, why don’t you mount the pulpit? Maybe I will see it from another angle.
When they succeed in killing those ministers there, they will carry their bag and run, then go to another Church to fight the ministers there. Maybe kill them also and then continue. Otherwise while hearing this testimony you are hearing, when ministers come back from any other local Assembly you will say, “I am now revived,” which means before you died. What killed you?
You say, “I am now encouraged again!” In other words, you are discouraged before. What discouraged you? Like the Pastor like the Church. Like husband like wife. Like mother like daughter.
Sisters, rise up to your duties, Brothers rise up to your duties. Look at the Message and drive in the symphony of the Message. This Message is an open Message. When you live the life, it will reflect, if you do not live the life it will reflect also. Everywhere will be covered with darkness.
Brethren I am speaking in this way because I love you, and as I keep on revealing these things, something is being lightened in me here. MAYBE THE MASQUERADE IS VENTING HIS ANGER; and after venting out His anger, He can now demonstrate. Amen.

THE RESURRECTED BODY (1)

Now we open the Bible. Leave Me alone! I want to be here with Christ. Where I am going to show you now in the Bible, for now do not let it trouble you. I will open, show you the Scripture and then close the Bible; and then show it to you again from another topic and from that topic, I will talk to you. Nevertheless, where I am going to show you now, do not trouble yourself so much. I will show it to you and then close the Bible.

Zachariah 4 : 10 – 14 “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. and by the two olive trees, the two anointed ones.
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.” (KJV).
Zachariah 7 : 11-12 “But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.” (KJV).
Zachariah 8 : 20-23, “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.” (KJV).
Almighty God, bless your people for your Name sake and bless your Word forever in Christ Name. Amen.
Now, I want to talk to you from the text. I know somebody has already reasoned and said, “Maybe Brother is going to speak on the ‘anointed ones’ in the end time.” No.
The book of Saint John 8 : 12 – 31, “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
As he spake these words, many believed on him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.” (KJV).
May God bless us as we consider this Word in Christ Name. Amen.
UNTIL WE KNOW THE DEITY, I WILL NOT SPEAK.
St. John 14 : 1-7 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me…”
Note, and from now henceforth, you know Him and have seen Him. Did He present the Father to them? No! What did He present? Himself!
“If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.” (KJV)
Who was speaking? Jesus the Christ! The masquerade. Who was speaking? The masquerade! What were they seeing? The masquerade! What was standing before them as a being? The masquerade! Who was introducing Himself? The masquerade! Who was the masquerade introducing? He that was in Him!
Is the Message clear? Have you seen the Deity? Yes sir! Have you seen the deity? Yes sir! If the Apostle is a Sent One, who sent Him? The Deity! Whose will is He coming to do? The Will of He that sent Him. Is that Bible? Yes sir!
In other words, He has no words of His own. He is speaking the Words of He that sent Him. He has no works of His own: “He that believeth in me will do His own works.” Is that Bible? No! “He that believeth in me, the works I do, shall ye do.”

ONLY BELIEVE!

Until I establish the Deity fully I will not speak.
St. John 6 : 28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” (KJV).
Is that Bible? Is there anything required there?
Verse 38-40, “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (KJV).
If you receive Him whom He has sent you receive He that sent Hm. What is required of you? Only believe all things are possible. Only believe, Only believe, Only believe all things are Possible. Only believe.
This is the time I want that camera, every other shots you took was just useless.
Lord, I believe! Lord I believe all things are Possible! Lord, I believe. Christ is here, Christ is here, all things are possible! Christ is here.
God is in His Holy sanctuary. See, in every age God can never do without a man, and that man becomes God’s mask, becomes the mask God will hide Himself in for God is a spirit and no man can see a spirit, and for God to be known by man, He has to cover Himself with something so that man will see Him and live. Because man cannot see Him in His spirit nature and then believe.
Thus, He will come low and then mask Himself very well and be a blessing to His people. Now, it requires God also to gather people for Himself and those people automatically becomes His people. Because He gathered them; no man gathered them; and in His Name He will keep them together.
His name is the ONLY CORD He will use in binding them together and all their gatherings will be in His Name. In addition, whatever they will do, they will do in His Name; outside His Name they will do nothing. All of them will be called by His Name, all their families will be called by His Name. They do not have any other thing than that Name. In other words, that Name becomes a family name.
Colossians 3 : 17, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” (KJV).
There is no exception. Whatever you do in word or in deed, do all in the Name of the Lord because it is a family name. Every family in Heaven and on Earth must be named after Christ our Lord.

THE WORD OF COMFORT

I want to give you a word of comfort for the Bible says, “Comfort ye my people.” In addition, every quarrelling that is going on in your midst, It is just a matter of the flesh. Whatever thing that is troubling you, the moment the Apostle of the Lord tells you what to do, just do it for it is for your own good. The moment you do it the tempest will calm down, the storm will calm down.
You know there is a storm in your life; a time will come when your life will be having some storms. However, when you hear “Please be still,” just be still. When you hear, “Relax your mind my Sister, relax my Brother,” take that word and relax. But unfortunately many do not relax.
Many heard that Word Of Comfort from my mouth and they never believed it. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THE WORK OF GOD, TO DO THAT WHICH GOD WILL APPROVED? BELIEVE HIM WHOM HE HAS SENT, that is all. If you know you cannot believe, why are you in this Church? Are we beating band in this Church? Are we sharing any other thing in this Faith? If you cannot believe, why are you in this Faith? If you have not believed, why do you baptize?

As many that have baptized are they not baptized into Him? They have baptized into Christ. For that reason, any day Christ perishes is the day they will perish. Amen.

The RESURRECTED BODY (2)

Let us go back to the Bible again. I want to comfort you a little by speaking on the RESURRECTED BODY. The resurrected body, that is the body in resurrection. The body in resurrection. Now I have succeeded in establishing the Deity that you will see no other person than the person Who is still speaking to you.

However, what is standing before you is a mask, and that mask is Brother Odoemena in your day. He is the mask for the Scripture says that God has veiled Himself in a flesh not counting it robbery.
God did not steal; He created that vessel, so He has taken His own vessel also. He is hiding Himself in His own vessel, the workmanship of His own hand. Did He rob? No! Did He use Devil’s property? No. He is using His property.
Why the unbelief then? Doesn’t He have the right to use His property the way He likes? Then why the unbelief. Hear what is happening in town, but something is taking place in the wilderness.
God is preparing a little group in the wilderness, feeding her there, adoring her, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. Feeding her, developing wings in the wilderness. when the sea will be troubleD then She will fly.
When your parents will be expecting you to come home with your luggage because of the trouble, after one week they could NOT see you, they will be thinking that they have killed you in the town not knowing that you have been rescued up.
Anywhere you are when it starts, from there you will go.
Let he that is on the mountain never come down. If you are in the market do not say let me rush back and get something. That is why while travelling to Lagos this week; I am travelling to Lagos with Christ. I will leave my family with Christ. If it occurs while I am in Lagos, we are meeting there, that is all.
My Brethren, if the Deity is not clear to you meet me in my private place. I will speak to you concerning the photograph not now. That maybe after. This day even if we dismiss and you want to take photograph with me or with any of your brethren, man or woman, feel free. Take it to your satisfaction within and without. Finish your films for you will never bring these films here again. Finish your films.
First Corinthians 15 : 11-14, “Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. Is in vain if there is no resurrection of the dead. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.” (KJV).
I am speaking on the “Resurrected Body.” The Body that has resurrected already and he is yet to be glorified for he has not ascended to the Father. That is the body I am speaking to. the Resurrected Body.
St. Paul said, “I was crucified with Christ.” In addition, all that are baptized into Christ were baptized into His death.
Christ HAS resurrected, the same way you resurrected in newNess of life. in other WORDS, I am speaking to the rest of the dead bodIES SO THAT THOSE THAT LIVE NOW WILL NOT DIE AGAIN.
Because in Christ I live, in Christ I move so that I will have my peace. In Christ you live, in Christ you move so that you will have your peace. Christ in you the hope of glory. The idea of hellfire is not here. You are baptized into His death and you become a partaker of His resurrection into newness of life. Yet this corporal body is still waiting. This corporal body is still waiting because the resurrection is in order: Christ the first and then those that believe in Him.
Have you not believed in Him? We have! Comfort ye my people, the resurrected body, awaiting something. You are waiting for what? For the body to be glorified! Whether you are laid into the grave, whether you are in the flesh, you are waiting for the body to be glorified.
Now, if we were in Him from the foundation of the world, according to the Bible, that He called us from the foundation of the world, He knew us from the foundation of the world, we were in Him we were in His loins, in His own womb from the foundation of the world, in other words, when He went to the Cross, we went to the Cross with Him. When they slapped Christ, they slapped me in Christ. When they spat at Him they spat at me in Christ. I have never been without Christ; Christ has never been without me. Is that Bible?

HOW PEOPLE MISS HIM IN ALL THE AGES

I am pointing you to something. Be spiritual enough, I will not stay long, the moment you get the revelation I will come down and then go home. However, until somebody catches it, I will not come down.
Remember what He said, “This is the Will of my father. Of all you have given me, I lose nothing and I will give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No man cometh unto the Father except by me, and no man can come to me also except the Father brings him to me.”
Then the question arises: who is the Father? You say, “Show us the Father,” He is the One that is speaking to you. Before, you did not know Me, now you have known Me and because you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins. Now you believe that I am He, there is no sin in you because sin is nothing but unbelief.
It is because of unbelief that they rejected Him that He has sent, not that they have hated He that sent Him. Whosoever welcomes Me welcomes the Father; He welcomes the Son, He welcomes the Holy Spirit. Whoever rejects Me rejects the Father, rejects the Son, reject the Holy Spirit because in Him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily because He is the express image of the Deity. The Deity tabernacles in Him.
How people miss Him in all the ages. Now, if Christ did not resurrect from the dead, and we preached that He resurrected, the Apostle that were before us believed that He resurrected many people preach that … it then means all of them were liars. Even Christ Himself who said He will die and resurrect, if He never resurrected, He is also a liar.
However, we are certain He resurrected. We are certain. If somebody will be asking a question, “How did He resurrect, with which body”? Then we can show him a perfect example that nature teaches that, that your yam tuber will go in first into the ground and get rotten, during the harvest season, you will have a new yam tuber. What formed that new yam tuber? Is it not the old one?
You have the right to remove the old one, open that particular ground after some weeks, and see that it is rotten and black. You can take it away. Moreover, it will bring a fresh yam tuber with a fresh body—very new, very fresh and soft.
The old yam tuber is planted with wrinkles in weakness, IT IS planted at times in parts, and IT IS planted also with a lot of infirmitIES. Some have holes but on the harvest day, you will get something that is very smooth, very beautiful, very fresh, and very strong. IT IS not weak, IT IS not feeble, and it has no wrinkles. No more corruption, no more blemish, no more spot. The RESURRECTED BODY.
We are bearing witnesses that Christ resurrected. If Christ did not resurrect and we say He resurrected, then our preaching is in vain, our faith is also in vain. Then the Bible should be thrown away.
Verse 15-21, “Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
But Christ has been raised from the dead. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.” (KJV).
In other words, we have not believed in vain for our testimony is true and we are in Him from the foundation of the world. The same day He was raised up from the dead, the same day we are raised up from the dead. In other words, He has given us eternal life. The Bible says He has given us eternal life and this eternal life is in His Son. Have you seen the mystery of adoption, the mystery of being a child of God. Have the world known this mystery; they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.
Verse 33-39, “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. and the dead shall be raised in a spiritual body
But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.” (KJV).
Verse 42 “So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.” (KJV).
Brethren, do you understand anything from that discussion? Jesus Christ said, “You are not of this world, as I am not of this world.” Furthermore, in St. John also He confirmed it again to the Pharisees that they were earthly, that He Himself was heavenly.
All that believed in Him, they have been in Him from the foundation of the world and they are His sons and daughters. They are all heavenly, they have heavenly image although they are walking on Earth representing Him yet they are heavenly.
If they are earthly, everything they will do will be earthly. They will be mindful of earthly things. Nevertheless, because they are heavenly, they are mindful of heavenly things. If they are of the world, that is, earthly the whole world would have loved them for the world knoweth her own. Because they are not of the world, they are heavenly, the world will hate them. Then how do you think of going to Heaven then?
That is why St. Paul concluding in his statement, he said that their names were written in the Lamb’s Books of Life even from the foundation of the world. He was certain about it because He knew from where He got His Message, and He gave them the same Message. When they believe, they become like St. Paul. I cannot imagine St. Paul thinking about Heaven that was under his foot.
For that reason, believe that one day you are going home, that this corruptible body will put on incorruptible one day. You will put away all these nonsenses and on that day you will appear as a glorified body. Thus, we try as much as we can to run away from every rebellion, to run away from every wickedness, to run away from unbelief because sin is the fruit of unbelief.
God will judge you from the angle He has dealt with you. If He has not given you anything, He will have no justification to judge you. Now He has given you something, He can now judge you. If He has never sent anybody, there will not be unbelief but now that He has sent somebody, he can judge you of unbelief.
1^st Thessalonians 4 :13 “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (KJV).
Verse 9, “But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.” (KJV).
Chapter 5 – 9 “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” (KJV).
2^nd Peter 3 : 1-9, “This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. He tells the godly that God’s long patience will hasten their repentance
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (KJV).
1^st Thessalonians 5 : 12-13 “And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.” (KJV).
” Hebrew 13:16 – 17 “But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” (KJV).
Revelation 20 : 6 “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” (KJV) .
Revelation 19 : 7 – 9, “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” (KJV).
On this note, I say thank you and remain blessed in Him eternally.
