IF GOD IS NOT A MAN, HOW CAN MAN RELATE WITH HIM? EVERY MESSENGER OF GOD IN EVERY AGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOD-MAN. AS GOD TO SAVE, AND AS MAN TO MAKE THE ENEMIES OF GOD DOUBT HIM, DESPIES HIM AND REJECTHIM. YET, IN HIM IS THE ALMIGHTY HIDDEN. BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN.

NUGGETS FROM CHRONICLES OF THE BRIDAL FAITH; THE JOURNEY SO FAR, PG 142

OUR GOD HAS ARRIVED TO

LIVE AMONG US

We thank God for granting us yet another wonderful privilege to be gathered in His Presence. I say fellow Saints of the Most High God, Remain blessed in Him eternally.

We remain rejoicing because He that we are having dealings with is the Elohim Himself in His righteous tabernacle [Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN)].
He and His tabernacle are one. That is why we are rejoicing every second and minute of the day.
There is no group upon the face of the Earth, that can say “the scriptures has fulfilled in our midst” except for this Bridal Faith.
We are not reading the scriptures as a story. We are referring to the scriptures to show that what God promised has fulfilled in the midst of the Bride. That is why we are rejoicing everyday.
Turn with me to the scriptures. Isaiah 25 verse 9, Living Bible. We want to see why we are rejoicing. In that day the people will proclaim, “This is our God in whom we trust, for whom we waited. Now at last he is here.” What a day of rejoicing! LB.
Is it not true? It is now very clear why we remain rejoicing. Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN), The Son of Man, is our God in whom we trust, for whom we waited on.
The Comforter, The Spirit of Truth, The Holy Ghost, now at last He is here with us and has been with us for 67 years. That is why we are rejoicing every moment and every second of the day.
Now turn again with me to Zephaniah 3 verses 17-18. Why will we not keep rejoicing? We do not read these scriptures for reading sake.
Zephaniah 3:17-18. For the Lord your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will give you victory. He will rejoice over you with great gladness; he will love you and not accuse you.”
Is that a joyous choir I hear? No, it is the Lord himself exulting over you in happy song. “I have gathered your wounded and taken away your reproach. LB.
He has gathered us here in the comfort of our homes, because He has saved us and given us victory and it is now our duty to retain and maintain this victory, by continuing the attack on our enemy.
How do we continue the attack? When we continue to do things according to His instructions, command and teachings, we are attacking. But when we relax, then the enemy will overtake us. Is it not true? Yes.
As long as we continue in His word, instructions and commands, He will rejoice over us with great gladness. He will always love us and not accuse us. He has healed us and taken away our reproach.
I want to put us in remembrance that He has remained our Comforter from the beginning, and He will remain our Comforter throughout eternity.
He is the source of our consolation, especially during troublous times as we are in right now. He has been our defense, our mouthpiece and He has been standing for all of us every time, everyday and every hour. He has never forsaken us even for one day. And I strongly believe that He will never forsake us even in these troublous times. We rely on His immutable promise that can never fail, that we must be victorious at the end.
Because He overcame, we must overcome, and that is where we are standing right now. For we know that we must overcome. We are the true winners.
Anybody can claim to be a winner, but we are the true winners. Now I want us to consider this topic; THE BIG MASQUERADE IS ABOUT TO GO HOME. I am saying that the big masquerade is about to go home. And that is the reason, you should be ready at all times.
Why not pause and ask yourself this very pertinent question; why did He give us the message RE-EXAMINE YOUR TICKET AGAIN?
This hour we are in right now, is the time I call anxious moment. All hands must be on deck right now.
Every true seed of God should be sober, anxious and fully ready, making sure your ticket is validated. The authentic signature that validates all tickets into Paradise is one person, The Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN).
Everybody must pass through that office for his ticket to be validated.
Turn with me to the message; THE WORDS OF OUR FATHERS ARE THE WORDS OF WISDOM VOLUME 2, Testimony of the Twelve Patriarchs explained by The Son of Man. Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 2^nd May, 2021. We want to read Page 153 verse 25.
What else do you want Brethren? When the Big Masquerade performs three times, He goes home. When the big masquerade performs how many times? Three times, He goes home.
When the Big Masquerade performs the first time, second and the third time, the Masquerade goes Home. Amen.
I will also want us to read some scriptures to see that He has performed the first and the second. The third time is the most delicate because immediately He finishes , He has gone with His people. There is no other chance.
There was opportunity for one to change when He performed the first time. There was opportunity also when He performed the second time. But the last performance, there is no opportunity again.
Let us look at this scripture. Acts 3 verse 19-21. Read Amplified Bible and Living Bible. So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean),
That times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you.
You see His first performance? He performed the first time. Now the scripture is saying, “that He may send to you the second performance”. And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you–even Jesus;
Whom heaven must receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all that God spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the most ancient time in the memory of man]. AMP. Amen.
Now change your mind and attitude to God.. Yes! Change your mind and attitude to God. ..and turn to him so he can cleanse away your sins and send you wonderful times of refreshment from the presence of the Lord..
That was His first performance. ..and send Jesus your Messiah back to you again. For he must remain in heaven until the final recovery of all things from sin, as prophesied from ancient times.
Moses, for instance, said long ago, ‘The Lord God will raise up a Prophet among you, who will resemble me! Listen carefully to everything he tells you. LB. Amen.
So we can see that this scripture has shown us the two performances now. The first time He said, when you get refreshed, then that thing He did in the first time, you will be a partaker.
The second performance He is coming for, we will also see it in Hebrews 9. In that performance, all these things are fulfilling.
That is why I said there is no group upon this face of the earth that can claim that all these scriptures have come to pass, only the Bride. We are sure and we are certain.
Hebrews 9 verse 28. Living Bible and the Message Bible. Everyone has to die once, then face the consequences.
Christ’s death was also a one-time event, but it was a sacrifice that took care of sins forever. A sacrifice that took care of sins forever.
That is why we read in Acts where we were told to change our attitude now, so that you will be a partaker of that sacrifice that He had made [the first performance].
And so, when he next appears, the outcome for those eager to greet him is, precisely, salvation. MSG. Have you seen it?
The salvation is not complete till we put on Immortality. Immediately that last performance is taking place, we are putting on Immortality in the twinkle of an eye.
Where is the opportunity again for anybody? So this is the time. The big masquerade is about to go home. Everything is ready.
That is why William Branham said, do not go looking for God to fulfil scriptures one after the other. Just one event, so many scriptures will be fulfilled.
So also Christ died only once as an offering for the sins of many people; and he will come again, but not to deal again with our sins. You see it? He is not dealing with our sins.
That is why the scripture said, refresh yourself. Change your attitude so that you will be a partaker. That performance cannot be repeated.
Once He finishes the first performance, He is not repeating it. He is coming for another performance. Once He finishes the second, He is not repeating it. He is coming for the third performance which is the most dangerous one.
After the last one, He goes and He takes those who are set with Him. No second chance. But opportunity is there after the previous performances, that was why Peter was telling them; “change your attitude for there is still an opportunity.
He will come again for those who are eagerly waiting for Him, to give them full salvation”.
Then you that saw Him previously when He came and did not act rightly, this is the opportunity. Get set now. For the third one, there is no way out for any human being again.
This time he will come bringing salvation to all those who are eagerly and patiently waiting for him. LB. Amen.
We can see clearly what the message said. What else do you want brethren? When the big masquerade performs three times, it goes home.
When the big masquerade performs the first time, second time, third time, the big masquerade goes home. Will you blame Him now? He has shown it very clearly.
Everybody can see it. We are not people who are reading scriptures as story. We are telling you that this thing is happening in our midst. We are sure and certain of it. Is it not true?
Let us go to Page 204 of the same message, verse 7. Someday, we are going home to rest. A traveler must come back home. And then rest. I do not think I will remain talking and toiling. The hour is come for Me to go.
I want you to watch this statement. The hour is come for Me to go. Not that the hour is coming, the hour has already come.
Very delicate moment. That is why it is an anxious moment. It is a time to be sober. It is a time for reflection on your life. Someday, I will go home.
When the gate was opened for us to check in, then we became sure that the flight is about to take place. Because nobody will open the plane for you to check in, when it is not set for flight.
So now that it has opened, we are sure, we are certain that the flight is to take place soon.
Let us proceed now to the message; RE-EXAMINE YOUR TICKET AGAIN. Preached by The Son of Man on Friday 20^th May, 2022. Page 39 verse 37. Who is not sure and certain that the flight is about to take place, because the Aeroplane landed together with the crew.
I mean the whole hosts and hostesses, the pilot. There is no way the Aeroplane would have landed without the pilot. He is the chief pilot to pilot everybody. He is here standby.
That is why He said, the time has come for Me to go. And because I am set to go, I opened the gate. Check in.
If your ticket is not validated, do something about it. If you have not purchased the tickets, do something about it. Is it not true?
Now it has become open for us to check in, is your ticket valid and okayed? Do you know that there are people that normally go for their ticket when it is too late?
And God is warning, do not go when it is too late. Go when you have the opportunity. Is that not true? Let us go to the same message, Page 40 from verse 40-45. WHAT IF YOU HAVE NOT PURCHASED THE TICKET OR YOU PURCHASED THE TICKET AND YOU HAVE NOT VALIDATED IT;
WHAT IS THE HOPE OF YOU BEING IN THE NUMBER THAT WILL MAKE THAT TRIP? This is where we are right now. Sure!
If you have not purchased a ticket, do something about it. If you have purchased one and you have not validated it, do something about it. They whose ticket have been validated are checking in already.
William Branham said, the chief pilot will open that airplane that will lift the Bride. Has He not open the plane? Good.
He said, He will be there for many days, for many weeks, for many months like Noah opened his own for them to check in. The invisible union of the Bride.
Those who have that ticket, they are likened to the wise virgins whose lanterns were burning and they were carrying extra oil in case of eventualities, in case of cancelation of flight, postponement of flight and things like that.
What if you have not even come into the Bridal movement or you have come into the Bridal movement but you are not keeping pace with the message?
What if now that we are checking in, your character, your life, your manifestations have not measured up to the required standard God had already set for people that will enter paradise, for people that will be translated, that will put on immortal bodies?
You see the danger of the third performance? Because it is a standard. If you do not meet up the standard, you will not be there. And immediately He performs that, that is the end. He has gone.

MY RESPONSIBILITY AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS NOW TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORD THAT WILL PROCEED FROM HIS LIPS, FOR HE ALONE HAS THE FATHER SEALED AND SENT. ANYTHING CONTRARY TO THAT, YOU ARE DOING YOURSELF MORE HARM THAN GOOD.

-THE SON OF MAN-

WHO HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO? VOLUME 3 OF 3 Preached ON Friday 15^TH October, 2021 PG 57:17 & 58:24.

MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS IN THE MANIFEST AND LISTEN ATTENTIVELY

Because God cannot cloth you with immortal bodies with your evil characters, with your evil nature. What if by now, those who want to check in do not have God’s nature?

They are not Christ-like in behavior, what is the hope of that person? He is likened to all those people that load vehicles in the motor parks, you see them issuing tickets to others but they do not issue to themselves.
You see some who are occupying seats inside that vehicle, they are being used to load the vehicle, but their names are not in the manifest.
How can you hear your name when your name is not in the roll call? When the roll is called and your name is not there, you will be running helter skelter.
Because you that know this truth will now realize that “I am in danger”. If you continue in that message, you will see where He used WAEC to show us an example. They have told you where your center is, then you did not go to check your center before that day. That day you appeared and they have already changed your center.
You went to the first place assigned to you before, only to find out that your name is not in the list in that place. Before you will run around to find out where your center is, it is already too late. They have finished the exams.
Are you a partaker of that exam? No! That is what is about to happen. Our father’s also heard this same message, but they did not mix it with Faith.
Look at it in the testament of the patriarchs which the Lord opened our eyes to see. All the teachings and doctrines with us today, they got it. Our fathers did not mix it with Faith, that is why they failed.
We should be wise to mix it now with Faith, so that we will not fail. Is it not true?
This is the hour of re-examining your ticket which is the nature of God, The Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN). Do not assume anything, be very sure and certain.
Now turn with me to the Bible. Proverbs 4 verse 20-23, the Message Bible alone. Dear friend, listen well to my words; tune your ears to my voice. Keep my message in plain view at all times. Concentrate! Learn it by heart!
Those who discover these words live, really live; body and soul, they’re bursting with health.
Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts. MSG.
Who is talking to us there? The Most High God, The Ancient of Days in His righteous tabernacle, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN). He can never depart from the tabernacle.
He is talking to those who He has made Saints, the Jewels He gathered here on earth. He is not talking to everybody, but to the remnant.
He is saying that we should continue to listen very well and be very attentive to His words. We should not dare joke or play with any word from Him. If you were joking with it before, change your attitude. Because there are people that say; “There is no problem, it will not happen now.” You are transferring what is about to take place for another time. You will miss it.
Do not play with His word, but tune your ears to His voice. Keep His message in your heart. Set your desires on them at all times, concentrating on them. Do not move away from what you are hearing.
That is why you see the Bride is anxious to hear from The Son of Man. If we do not hear from Him one minute, we become worried because our ears are set to what He has to say.
Turn with me to the message; THE WOMAN OF SUBSEQUENT CREATION; MEMORIAL SERVICE IN HONOUR OF THE QUEEN OF PARADISE (MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY ODOEMENA) PART 2 VOLUME 1. Preached on Sunday 27^th March 2022 by The Bridegroom Himself. We want to read Page 43 verses 61 & 62.
⁶¹I do not need to over flog this matter. We do not need to be troubled. All we have to do is to watch and pray.
Watch and pray. Watch over your life. Make sure that your character and your daily manifestations do not cancel your professions. Whatever you say is your Faith, be sure that your character does not nullify it. Is it not what He has been emphasizing on?
⁶²I have to make sure My daily character is in tandem.. [tandem means working together] ..with the Message I have received, for God will not use any other parameter in judging you than that which He gave to you.
If your life is short of any of them, you count yourself unworthy of everlasting life. You count yourself out. For there is no more time. Is it not true?
He that is anxious will not play. One that is anxious to get something, does he relax? Never! Good.
Let us proceed to the message; OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE PART 2. Preached by The Son of Man during morning altar on Wednesday 29^th July, 2020. Page 70 verse 35-37. ³⁵MY ACTION WILL TELL YOU WHAT I BELIEVE. Is it not true?
My action will tell you what I believe. YOUR ACTION; YOUR CHARACTER WILL TELL ME WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
³⁶AFTER KNOWING THE TRUTH, THE INTERPRETATION IS MADE EVIDENT IN OUR BEHAVIOURS. IS IT NOT TRUE?
³⁷God will allow us by giving us the opportunity to practice what we have learnt. True or false? Is it not through practice that people will know who you are and begin to ask you about your Faith? Okay.
People will begin to ask you about your Faith. Not too long, you will see people asking you why are you always fellowshipping in your house? Because your actions are different from others.
Page 78 verse 59. ⁵⁹We that are practicing the truth, and not just knowing the truth. That you know THE SON OF MAN without believing and practicing His teachings, can you be saved at the end? No!
Yes! This is because the Bible cannot tell lies on this matter. Can the Bible tell lies on this matter? You said you believed Him, and we sang a song saying how much we love God with an everlasting love.
He said if you love me, keep my commandments, obey me, do what I am telling you to do.
Now let us go to Psalm 37 verse 31, the Message Bible. Just see what the Bible is saying, what the word of God should be in your life now. Just hear what He is saying there.
Righteous chews on wisdom like a dog on a bone, rolls virtue around on his tongue. His heart pumps God’s Word like blood through his veins; his feet are as sure as a cat’s. That is what I want to get there; His heart pumps God’s word like blood through his veins; his feet are as sure as a cat’s.
Once the word of God settles in your heart, your heart will be pumping His word like blood through your veins, and therefore your footsteps will never slide. You will be rooted and grounded in the truth.
It is because this word is not settled in you, that is why you are behaving anyhow. But once it is settled, it will pump like blood from your heart to the veins.
Let us proceed to the message; GET READY FOR THE FINAL CALL. Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 12^th March 2022. Page 48 verse 34. ³⁴If there is anytime we must think properly concerning our lives, it is now. You see it?
If there is anytime we should think properly about our lives, it is now. Remember, this war that is ravaging everywhere, it’s influence must be felt by all the nation’s of the earth.
This is a period where foolish people will keep saying; “Do not worry, it will become well again. After the rain comes the sunshine”.
Almighty God has made us to see that whatever goes up now, will not come down.
You know Bongos Ikwe sang whatever goes up must come down. Almighty God said, whatever goes up now, will not come down again. Who will you listen to? Bongos Ikwe or God?
Because God is the one that said that there is gravitational pull, but now He said whatever goes up will not come down. Is that not true? Good. Let us go further.
Please pause and reflect on this statement of our Lord. If there is anytime we must think properly concerning our lives, it is now. Why? Whatever starts now can never stop.
Forget people saying that whatever happens today, tomorrow will be better. Look at the common currency, when will it ever come down? It is getting higher everyday and the currency is becoming useless nonsense. Good!
MEMORIAL SERVICE IN HONOUR OF THE QUEEN OF PARADISE (MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY ODOEMENA). PART 1 VOLUME 1. Preached Sunday 20^th March 2022 by The Son of Man. Page 155 verse 17-24. ¹⁷Of course you know that the Sanctuary of the LORD is a human being.
It is no longer the temple in Jerusalem which is made with hands. God is now dwelling in a temple made without hands.
¹⁸AND THE STRENGTH OF THE BRIDE IS THE BRIDEGROOM. THE DESIRE OF THE BRIDE IS THE BRIDEGROOM.
¹⁹Who knows what awaits God’s Sanctuary. Who knows what will happen to God’s own Temple which is the strength of the Bride. Who knows whether it is about to be taken away so that.. See how God is putting it. Who knows whether it is about to be taken away.
Who knows whether it is about to be taken away so that the remnant of the people will feel the full indignation of the wrath of God. ²⁰You see why you do not need a prophet to tell you to come back to your senses.
Why because the Sanctuary of the Lord is about to be taken away. The big masquerade is about to go home.
Gather yourself together. Do not act as shameless people. Gather yourself together, peradventure you may escape what is about to take place any moment THE SON OF MAN is taken away.
Did He not say; “If you look for The Son of Man and you do not see Him, weep”. I will not want to look for Him, I want to go with Him.
²¹Let Me call a spade a spade, for He is the Sanctuary; for He is the temple; for He is the strength and pride of the Bride.
²²The LORD did it in the days of Abraham and Sarah. First, Sarah. Second, Abraham. And then calamity came. He did it in the days of the Prophet. First, the wife of the Prophet. Second, the Prophet. Then calamity came.
²³But God never ordained us to obtain His wrath, but to obtain salvation through Christ. Which we have started seeing in the scripture. We were ordained for salvation. And salvation is not complete until we put on Immortality [the last performance].
Is there any time again after the last performance? Immediately, in a twinkle of an eye we are gone into the air.
All that are in Him should re-examine their stand once again. Please repeat that place.
But God never ordained us to obtain His wrath, but to obtain salvation through Christ. All that are in Him should re-examine their stand once again. All that are in Him should re-examine their stand once again before it will be too late.
All that are in Him, not all that are outside. All that are in Him, re-examine your stand.
²⁴Everything is heading towards the end. We have rolled into the terminal point of everything. What goes up cannot come down again.
I told you. Whatever goes up cannot come down again. So what are you going to tell me? Who made the gravitational law? He that made the law, said it will not come down again. Amen.

I told you that God has hardened the hearts of leaders: the hand of the Lord is upon the world to bring his prophecies to fulfillment.

-The Son of Man-

NO HIDING PLACE: preached on 23rd March 2003, at the Household of God, Onitsha Pg. 100 vs. 71

NOTHING IS LEFT BUT DISASTER

Let us continue in the same message Part 1 Volume 2. Page 188 verse 18 alone. ¹⁸I told you it is one after the other. Now that the threshold of the house of THE SON OF MAN has gone, what becometh of THE SON OF MAN from now.

What becometh of those that will be left behind when THE SON OF MAN has gone. What is the hope of that person. He is finished.
He said when you look for Me and you do not see Me, do what? Weep! Because there is no hope again. That third performance is dangerous. Have we not seen twice? The third is about to take place and it is very delicate.
Our Mummy, The Queen of Paradise knows that The Son of Man is coming back anytime from now, but He is not going back alone. He is going with some people.
Now the question remains, will you be among the people He is going back with? Every individual in this Bridal movement must answer this very important question after re-examining your ticket.
We go to Page 190 verses 22-24. ²²As for going home, it is a must because the LORD has decreed it to be so. But what follows after His departure? That is the question.
What becomes of the remnant of the earth? What if you do not go with Him? Another important question.
²³Now, the LORD has come to take His Saints away. Will you go with Him? It is a life question you must answer. The penalty has been paid,.. Which we saw in the scripture. He has already done it. He will not come and repeat it again.
..But many do not welcome it. Pardon is not pardon unless it is accepted.
²⁴LET US BE CIRCUMSPECT, REDEEMING THE TIME FOR THE DAYS ARE EVIL. Circumspect means, thinking very carefully about something before doing it. Think very carefully about whatever you want to do before doing it because the days are evil.
Do not be over confident at this point in time. For the Lord said, all that are in Him should re-examine their stand once again before it will be too late. Are you honest to the Faith [the message], you claim to believe?
Let us go over to the message; CROSSCHECK YOUR SPIRITUAL STANDPOINT. Preached by The Son of Man on Friday evening 26^th March, 2021. Page 46 verse 40.
You see why we must be very sure and certain of our spiritual standpoint, especially at this very hour as we wait for the translation of our mortal bodies. That is the third and final act.
Once that act takes place, it is all over. Now that we are preparing for it, do you see why you should be sure of your spiritual standpoint? It is an anxious moment. A moment to be sober and to think.
Do not just do anything anyhow. Take your steps by doing things exactly as He is saying it. That is why we are not playing now. Our ears are tuned to that Voice of God studio. Is it not true?
Page 48 verse 44. BY YOUR UTTERANCES, BY YOUR BEHAVIOUR, BY YOUR THINKING AND BY YOUR REASONING, YOU WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU BELONG TO. Look at it again.
BY YOUR UTTERANCES, BY YOUR BEHAVIOUR, BY YOUR THINKING AND BY YOUR REASONING, YOU WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU BELONG TO.
Now, what does the Lord our God require from us the Israel of God. Let us turn again to the message; BE READY FOR THE FINAL CALL. Page 52 verses 42-66. ⁴²What is expected of us at this dangerous hour is to come together.
Have you seen what is expected of us at this dangerous hour? We should come together.
Come together spiritually because you are a nation that is despised by other nations. Come together. Close ranks with each other. Mend fences immediately with your Brothers and Sisters.
Make sure there is nothing that stands between you and God; between you and your fellow human being. If there be any traceable fault, correct it immediately. Do not stay till tomorrow.
And do not allow any earthly thing, any material or sensual pleasure to occupy your mind any more, for whatever you are pursuing here on earth, truly speaking, will jeopardize your journey into Paradise. ⁴
³Colossians 3:2-3, Living Bible. Let heaven fill your thoughts; don’t spend your time worrying about things down here. You should have as little desire for this world as a dead person does. Your real life is in heaven with Christ and God.
⁴⁴This is because I can see nothing but disaster. If I go to bed, I see disaster. When I wake up, I see disaster. Nothing is left but disaster.
Who is our “eye”? Our eye is The Son of Man, and He says what He sees is disaster. That is what He is seeing. So if you are seeing better tomorrow, that is your own. But our eyes have told us; “I see disaster”.
⁴⁵Any moment from now, the entire world will be rendered desolate. And the children of God who will be here will rejoice exceedingly that they never believed God in vain.
It will happen before your eyes. If it does not happen, know that the Almighty God never sent Me. We know that God sent Himself. He can never fail.
⁴⁶How can I make such a statement if I am not sure? Who has predicted what will happen and it has come to pass according to His words? He is the Almighty God.
⁴⁷SO BE SURE YOU ARE IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. You see what you must be sure of. Be sure you are in right relationship with God.
BE SURE YOU ARE IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD AND IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER, FOR WHERE WE ARE NOW IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS.
⁴⁸YOU CAN GO TO BED, BUT YOU MAY NOT WAKE UP. AND ANY STATE YOU ARE BEFORE YOU GIVE UP THE GHOST DETERMINES YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY. THERE IS NO REPENTANCE IN THE GRAVE.
⁴⁹Our Brother who had a problem yesterday never knew that he would be rushed to the hospital. Assuming he died there on the highway yesterday, what do you think would have been his fate?
⁵⁰SO, LET US BE CAREFUL AS WE SEE EVENTS UNFOLD ON A DAILY BASIS. MAY WE DO THE RIGHT THING.
MAY WE DO THE NEEDFUL BY RE-EXAMINING OURSELVES IN LINE WITH THE TEACHINGS WE HAVE RECEIVED TO KNOW WHETHER WE ARE MEASURING UP TO STANDARD.
⁵¹IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT MEASURING UP TO THE STANDARD, THIS IS YOUR TIME. Our loving and caring Father, telling us what we need at this hour.
THIS IS YOUR TIME, FOR EVERYTHING WILL FAIL YOU, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
⁵²I use my wife for example. Where are her certificates? All her labour even to acquire doctorate degree, where are those certificates? Where is the civil service?
Can she remember where she packed her clothing. Can she remember she was riding her car? Can she remember us here or that she had children? Can she remember she had relations? What about her lofty ambitions which she never accomplished? Can she accomplish them again?
⁵³I AM SAYING THAT WE HAVE COME TO A POINT WHERE WE SHOULD NARROW OURSELVES DOWN TO THE AFFAIRS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. NO MORE. NO LESS.
⁵⁴IF THERE BE ANY OTHER THING, REGARD IT AS A DISTRACTION, AND BE VERY CAREFUL THE WAY YOU GIVE IT ATTENTION.
⁵⁵This is the time for us to begin to detach from all those entanglements which I know are not helping us to grow in the Faith and in the knowledge of God. This is because there is nothing that will save us right now if not the Faith we have established in Christ, which we are maintaining by living the right life.
⁵⁶It is not professing the Faith with your mouth, answering members of the Bride of Christ Ministry.
Instead of being members of Christ Ministry. Instead of being members of Christ’s Family, you are member of the Bride of Christ Ministry.
⁵⁷Bride of Christ Ministry is going to stop, but the Family of God has no ending. Take note of what I am saying. I better be a member of God’s own family – God’s own household.
So if you and I have the privilege, why don’t you hold it like gold. He that knows the value of gold should do why? Preserve it.
⁵⁸On that day, many will come knocking and asking for admission, and the Voice will say, “Who are you and where are you coming from?” and you introduce yourself.
⁵⁹That is why I have given you the Message, INTRODUCE YOURSELF BEFORE GOD THE ALMIGHTY [VOLUMES 1 & 2] Tell God who you are, and listen to his reply.
⁶⁰Some will hear a disappointing reply that day, “My friend! I do not know you. That household you say you are coming from, certainly is not Mine. I do not know you, neither do I recognize that household. Certainly, that is your own household. It is not mine!”
Is it scriptural? Have we read it in the Holy Bible? ⁶¹Luke 13:24-25, Amplified version. Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.
When once the Master of the house gets up and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door [again and again], saying, Lord, open to us! HE WILL ANSWER YOU, I DO NOT KNOW WHERE [WHAT HOUSEHOLD—CERTAINLY NOT MINE] YOU COME FROM.
⁶²If it does not come to pass, know that I am not THE SON OF MAN. It will surely come to pass.
That is why I gave you the Message titled, DISAPPOINTED EXPECTATION. And that is when you lavish your time in your membership of the Bride of Christ Ministry without stepping your feet into Christ’s Family, which is the true Church of the Firstborn, registered in Heaven. You were never a member.
⁶³You can be one million years in this your earthly arrangement called Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide. You can even be the Methuselah there without stepping your feet for one second into the church of the Firstborn – the family of God – where all the members are registered in heaven.
⁶⁴Holding the faith that God does not recognize, is it not the greatest disappointment. It is the greatest disappointment.
Has God recognized your faith for one day? It is a question everybody must answer. Has the Almighty God acknowledged and recognized your own individual faith to the point where He will say, “This is My well-beloved son; This is My well-beloved daughter in whom I am well pleased?”
⁶⁵Have you come to that point where God can repose such a confidence in you calling you His own son or His own daughter? For these are the only people that will escape the holocaust that is on the way.
The holocaust is on the way. The only people that will escape it, are those who God has recognized their faith in Him, and He declares them as His sons and daughters.
⁶⁶IT IS GRADUALLY COMING DOWN. WE ARE WATCHING FROM THE TELEVISION AND FROM AFAR, SEEING WHAT IS HAPPENING UP THERE. VERY SOON, SOME OTHER COUNTRIES WILL WATCH OUR OWN.
VERY SOON! SOONER THAN YOU THINK, YOU WILL RUN HELTER-SKELTER. YOU WOULD NOT HAVE A HOME WHERE YOU WILL PUT YOUR HEAD ON THE BED FOR EVEN ONE MINUTE.
And He told us that at that point in time, He will not allow His children to be scattered. Is it not true? We will be taken away in troublous times. And the times are coming. The thing is flowing down towards us. That is why He said, you do not need a prophet to tell you that this is the time to come back to your senses. Have it behind your mind that the Almighty God had instructed The Son Of Man to scale down the schedule. Not to scale it up. My Lord said to My Lord, scale down the flight schedule, because of the coming storm which no flesh can bear without blaspheming God. It is on the way right now. It is with us. Delicate moment.
