A CALL TO GLORY VOLUME 1 OF 3

A CALL TO GLORY VOLUME 1 OF 3 Preached ON Sunday, 6^TH November 2022 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN Transcribed by Deacon Sunday Chukwu The Household of God at Nsukka, Enugu State

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever: with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations. ²For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. ³I have made a covenant with My Chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant, ⁴Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. ⁵And the heavens shall praise Thy wonders, O LORD: Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the Saints. ⁶For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? ⁷God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the Saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. ⁸O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto Thee? Or to thy faithfulness round about Thee? ⁹Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.

Psalms 89:1-9

King James Version

What is the sign? He said, “God …. Elohim back in the Bride.” Elohim is greater than God. How many know that? THE ELOHIM EXISTED EVEN WHEN THE WORLD WAS WITHOUT FORM. Elohim is the Self-Existing One, The All-Sufficient One, One who dwelt when there was nothing created. But God is an object of worship. The Elohim became God when He began creation. That is why we worship Him because He created us. What is more? You can never worship something that is not higher than you. Every person is calling upon his own god and we are calling upon our own God. God is object of worship. Which God are you worshipping? I am worshipping the Elohim.

PROLOGUE

To God be the glory. Great things He hath done. I know you have prayed. I heard your prayer. You sang. I heard your song.
But I want to pray for everybody and for Myself,for now is the hour of prayer. That is where we are.
Shall we bow down our heads.

PRAYER

To You, O God, The Creator of Heaven and earth, we have come this morning to express, [O God] our faith in You; to express our gratitude and to express [O God] our hearts’ innermost feelings and desires before You.
There is no better place we can go than to Your Presence. We believe You exist.We believe You hear and answer prayers. We believe [O God]that with You, all things are possible.
We believe strongly, O God that You called us unto Yourself for salvation, and not for our destruction. We believe that You are touched by all our infirmities. You show interest in all our affairs.
Whatever we are passing through here on earth [Father] we are equally aware that You know all. You search our hearts. You try our reins. You know all the thoughts and imaginations of our hearts.
Father, we come naked to You, knowing that there is nothing about us that is hidden before You. We bow before You. We reverence and adore You because of Who You are.
You are the only God we know and believe in that has the power even to save the godless, provided You want to. We know we are not standing in our merit. We are standing [O God] in the unmerited favour.
We are not standing before You in our righteousness. We are standing before You in the righteousness of Christ who died and resurrected for our justification.
In Him O God, we are declared righteous, for He died for us. Father, He who knew no sin died for us who sinned greatly as the Bible said, that we might become the righteousness of God.
Hence, now, as we live our lives, we donot live for ourselves. We live for Him who died and resurrected for our sake.
Fortunately O God, as we are, He is standing before us making intercession for us this morning, for we do not know what we can request of Thee, but He that is in us Who we have believed in [Father Divine] is the One making the intercession on the behalf of every Elect of God scattered all over the whole world.
Knowing we have rolled into the most precarious hour in the history of mankind where insecurity now reigns; violence reigns; corruption reigns; every kind of immoral act reigns. Evil reigns supreme now more than ever. In other words, the king of this world has possessed the entire human race fully.
Remember O God, this little Flock You chose for Yourself before the world began, called out from among those in the world, sanctified them, made them holy in Your own eyes that they will stand and give praise, honour, glory to Your Most Holy Name without blame and in love, simply because it is Your own Purpose which You purposed for them within Yourself after the Counsel of Your own Will.
And You said that Your Counsel must stand. Father, we anchor our faith there. Come what may, no matter the situation, Your counsel must prevail over the counsel of the wicked.
You will never live to see people [O God] laugh at us or ask us whether our God is still alive. Neither will You live to see people mock You.
Remember that Your children remain the apple of Your eyes. And the Bible said that whosoever touches them is touching on the eyes of The Most High God.
Lord, we come in the righteousness of He that is born to righteousness, in Whom dwelleth righteousness from everlasting to everlasting; in Whom there is no iniquity; in Whom there is no fault; in Whom every Elect that will believe in Him and in His Words will be declared righteous, discharged, acquitted, absolved completely from every blame, every sin, every mistake they have made simply because it has become very clear to them that besides You, there is no other, and He is conferred with the authority even to forgive sin.
Now, O God, we have been reconciled and restored to You through the Message of reconciliation [Father divine] which we have believed with all our hearts.
Let it please You, O God, to number us fully among those whose mortal bodies today shall be transformed any time from now; those that shall be clothed with the immortal bodies that will not see corruption again, especially this hour You are about to withdraw Him from our eyes temporarily.
Now, you are about to allow him a little rest, seeing that He has sojourned among mankind [Father divine] for over 6800 years, although the world knew Him not. And in these 7000 years, He is about to clock, in the eyes [O God] of the Almighty, it is 70.In the eyes of the world, it is 7000.
O Lord our God, these 7000 years; these 70 years in Your eyes, may it bring eternal life to the living and to the dead, especially those that died in Christ and those that will live to see that glorious Morning, having their hope pinned in You, the Resurrected Body. May they never be disappointed that Day.
I stand in the gap for all this hour and make this solemn request: As many as have been privileged to be personally and practically acquainted, O God, with the revealed Christ in our dispensation, either through His Messages in the website or in any form or shape, they have embraced Him, even in their revelations, in their dreams and visions of the night and they acknowledge Him for who He is, not excluding those that are eating and dining with Him, Father, I want an all-inclusive salvation to all.
MAY THEY ALL, O GOD, SIT WITH THE REVEALED CHRIST IN PARADISE. EVEN THOSE THAT ARE YET UNBORN, WHOSE PARENTS ARE IN THE NUMBER SO FAR CHOSEN; SO FAR SEALED IN; SO FAR INCLUDED IN THIS SOLEMN REQUEST, MAY THEY ALL BE SEATED THERE.
Seeing that the corrupt bodies shall be wearing incorruption on that day, even if they die, they will be sowed in corruption, but they will resurrect as incorruptible beings.
And there is no corruption where we are heading to, for the corrupt body will fizzle away for the incorruptible body to take its position. The former will go away for the latter to be established. And we are in the latter days. We are having the latter rain. We are having, O God, the last minute Message which I call the Benediction.
May it, O God, bring full and complete salvation to the errant ones that will hear this last-minute Voice and then reconcile with You, even those that will accost Him on the way as the big masquerade.
While He is on His way home and they accost Him, shake His Hand and say hello to Him [Father] bring them in, provided they are not in the opposition.
I make this solemn request for all souls scattered all over the whole world. I do not care about their races. I do not care about their denominations. I do not even care about whether they be pagans, heathensor whatever they may be, O God.
As long as they are human beings wearing human flesh, I include them in this all-inclusive salvation [Father] that Thy Kingdom might be filled in righteousness; filled [O God] with Thy glory and honour upon all that You created, even before the foundation of the world.
You are not creating any new being. And you are not going to create any again. Those you created will inhabit that Paradise.
On restorational reconciliation, Father, they have met your demand. Open your ears, O Lord. Hear My plea as You have always been doing.
May this day mark O God, a turning point in the lives of all who will hear My Voice today. May they hasten up. May they never delay any further.
Even those that have been heading to hell, Father, turn them back, for it is not meant for a human being. It is meant for the disobedient one.
Provided that heart is willing [O God] to do You a service according to Thy will; Provided that heart is willing to change even this hour, Father include that heart. Include that soul in this all-inclusive salvation.
Father, I say thank You for You are always standing by My side, hearing My plea.
I make a declaration that as many as are included in this all-inclusive salvation plan, which is Your last plan that is now revealed [Father divine] to save even the unsavable, Lord, I pray Thee this hour, impute no sin on them so that the blessedness You had already declared of one whom the Lord does not impute sin will be their everlasting possession.
For You had already made it clear that blessed, happy, to be envied, fortunate is the one whose sins are covered for Your Name’s sake; in whom the Lord God Almighty does not impute sin.
Impute righteousness upon all that have believed in the revealed Son of Man which is your last appearance in human form on earth to take from the earth a people that are called by Your Name.
Now He is going home, Father Divine, cause all Your children to recognize the hour and do that which is needful.
Bring those that are in distant places closest to Yourself. Draw souls to Yourself for you made it clear that whenever The Son of Man is lifted up, He shall draw souls unto Himself. May there be not even one that will be left behind.
Father, I bow down and say, ‘THANK YOU’ once again. Have Your way in this Fellowship today. Answer all the prayers Your children have been making before You. All their supplications, Father, listen to them and do that which you know is right in Your eyes.
Answer them, O God that they will have peace and have it more abundantly.Reign in their hearts. Reign in their families.
Are there some of the rebellious children among them in their families? There is no heart that is beyond Your conversion.
Stretch forth, O God, Your hand towards the rebellious ones. Turn their hearts back to Yourself. Turn them away from rebellion, O God, to obedience to the truth.
Open their eyes of understanding, let them see that the end of all things is very imminent. Disentangle, O God, such rebellious ones from foul spirits and let Thy Holy Spirit from this hour saturate their hearts.
Let the love of God that passeth all human understanding reign in the midst of The Bride; reign [O God] in every family that is called by Your Name and in the heart of any individual that has fully surrendered to You by revelation of Who you are, irrespective of tribe, race, colour of the skin, language. Father, let your peace reign in that heart.
To Your Name alone we give the victory, the glory, the honour, the praise, for hearing our prayers.
We have to thank You at last for the testimonies we heard last week of Your great works that were noised abroad among your people, saving even the heathens at your command and doing that which no human being will ever believe to be true.
What is more?In all the outings we made last week, Father, you crowned all of them with success for You established Your Presence.
When we got to Nkpor, You proved Your Name to be mighty. You caused the rain to fall. You calmed down the weather only in that vicinity where we went to. It never exceeded it. People living round about never experienced the rainfall.
The weather that was hot [Father] became cloudy and very friendly; a sign of Your Presence to confirm that the marriage originated from You. When they were about to go, You brought back the same rain, watered the land and calmed down everywhere, saying, ‘Farewell.’
Father, we say glory be to Your Name. There at Abuja, reports reaching Me confirmed the same thing, that You took control over every activity, and You are still in control.
Father, remember that The Son of Man had already dedicated the venture to You before it was declared open. He sought Your face. He sought Your Counsel. He obeyed Your advice. If You had advised Him contrary, He would not have even supported it to be opened. From the very beginning, He carried You along.
You gave Him the go-ahead. He instructed them on what to do and yesterday was the official opening. Lord, You made a Name for Yourself.
You strengthened the workers, especially Your maid servant. In her condition, she should not be doing such a strenuous thing, but still Father, you upheld her, upheld the husband and all who were there to do that work.
What is more? The turnout was such a great number that it beat the imaginations of everybody, even Myself here. Though I saw it in My night vision, of people surging in and out, until they were disallowed entry.
Father, as I saw it so the report reaching Me this morning confirmed that people kept on surging in until they were disallowed entry for there was no space anymore.
Father, let it remain like that for we pray that, that centre should be a beehive of activities where ceaseless services will be rendered to humanity – young and old. Bless all that will patronize that service centre.
Remember we dedicated it to You.Only You, O Lord of Hosts, will remain taking the glory in everything pertaining to The Son of Man and His Family, even in His Family in extant lands and in His Family He adopted into The Super Family.
We are one – one Family –an indivisible entity. May we remain like that, O God, till the end.
Thank You also for saving our daughter at Enugu who was abducted and Lord to prove Your Power to save anybody You want to save, You stepped in, weakened the legs of the assailants, gave our daughter supernatural strength, placed a wheel on her heels and she flew like a bird. You helped her to escape. No injury. Father, we say, ‘Thank you’.
Yesterday evening also, we had another deliverance of God. Brother Emmanuel in The Household of God Esen in Kaduna State residing in Gwagwalada, Abuja Capital Territory.
Yesterday, O God, how You saved him in that ghastly accident in that vehicle harbouring eight persons – the driver and seven passengers is amazing. The driver died. Three died there plus the driver, four.
Father divine, three were rushed to hospital unconscious. Only our Brother Emmanuel stepped out of the vehicle with his legs with a minor scratch on his head. And people wondered how a human being could come out of a vehicle that was shattered into pieces.
All that were rushed to the hospital were unconscious with broken limbs, but he came out with his own legs and everything intact, with a minor scratch.
Lord, who can do this if not You? You did it for Your Name’s sake to save us, O God, from the agony, the pain, the sorrow and the anguish that would have been associated the departure of a young man in his early twenties. A progressive young man. Father, You said, ‘No.’
Thank You because You ordered us to be praying for each other. We do not know who is making the prayers that is sustaining our lives even this very hour.
Thank You, O God, for our Family members who came all the way from Enugu, only to join us in this wonderful Fellowship this day.
Father, we say may Your Name be praised. We will ever remain grateful to You. I think today, O God, You spoke something concerning today. You said it is going to be a testimony day and we are sharing the testimonies through prayers.
Now that we are about to share the testimony of the Word, I pray that You give us listening ears, understanding hearts, and ready hearts to obey. This is My earnest prayer as I decree out every false anointing, every foul spirit that is likely to distract the minds and attentions of our people away from the Word that is coming out right now.
Father, may they fly away from this premises. Build a wall of fire around us here, around our premises and around this Studio that is called by Your Name where Your Presence has been vindicated and confirmed in diverse manners. Create no room for the devil to tempt our hearts away.
At the end of the day’s worship service, may we go out rejoicing that really, You touched our lives positively. You met us at the points of our needs. Gladden our hearts with good tidings as we say once again, ‘Thank You Lord’, for hearing our prayers and supplications.
I make all these solemn requests on the behalf of every soul that is here with Me now in this Studio and all the souls You have entrusted into My care globally. Hearken unto Me, and do more than I have asked of Thee, for Thy Name’s sake, O Lord, I pray. Amen!

I want to tell you loud and clear. Before He came in here and settled, He had already toured round the world. He that came here unnoticed was the One that investigated Sodom and Gomorrah unnoticed. As it was in the days of Noah, as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man. God Himself will come and investigate all human activities and all worships. It will take God to decide where He will pitch His tent. After all the investigations, He found no other place convenient, comfortable, faithful; No other family but this Family. We are the people of God. This is that little group that is promised rapture; that is promised immortality by the words of the prophets and the Apostles. Believe it if you can.

IT IS FINISHED; Preached on Sunday 16^th September 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 142 vs. 28 – 30

DWELLING IN THE PRESENCE

OF GOD

You can be seated. Amarachi, you are blessed. Today is the first day you are privileged to be in our Family worship. True or false?

Sit down. Known unto God are all His works from the foundation of the world. So, today is your best day. If you like, you can call it your birthday.
Yes! There must be a spiritual re-birth. If you want to know or if somebody should ask you the day you were born, tell that person the day you embraced Christ, not the day your mother delivered you in the labour room. No!
IF YOU KNOW THE DAY YOU EMBRACED CHRIST AND CHRIST EMBRACED YOU, THAT IS THE DAY YOU WERE BORN. THAT IS THE DAY YOU ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE ALMIGHTY GOD AS A HUMAN BEING THAT IS WORTHY TO BE CALLED HIS OWN.
That is why, one minute contact with God sets your whole body and your whole spirit aflame, if you are a seed of God. I say, one minute encounter with God. One minute encounter with God brings about a total change; a total difference in your life experience.
It is an experience that is never forgotten. It leaves an indelible mark that will never fizzle out even with time. If you have not experienced it, pray that you will experience it. And any day you experience itmust be notable in your heart. True or false?
That is why we sing by revelation: [O that day; I remember that day. I will never forget that day when the Lordtakes my sins away; when the Lordtakes my sins away.
You must know the day God encountered you and you encountered God. And then from His mouth, you heard Him say, “Your sins that are many are forgiven you for My sake or for Christ’s sake.”
There is a level of joy that will begin to overflow in your heart that you are no longer guilty of sin before God. God will not bring you to judgement because of unbelief. You have escaped because the Lord is mindful of His promises. Law or no Law, the promises are still there.
When you come to a point when if you sin, the Lord will rebuke you, flog you, chastise you, but will not remove His love from you, what do you conclude? It goes to show that He now handles you as a father.
But anybody that commits iniquity, God chastises him and then takes him away; casts him away from His presence, withdraws His Spirit from that person, there is no hope of eternal life for that person, for the Giver of eternal life has cast you away from His presence.
There was a Message I handled many years back. I do not know how to trace all those messages: “DWELLING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.”What it takes to dwell in the Presence of God.
Let Me just show you what it takes and the benefits of constantly dwelling in the presence of God which made David to say, ‘That I may dwell’. That is My prayer. My prayer is that ‘I may dwell in the presence of God; in the House of God, all the days of My life.’
Reference:Psalm 27:4.⁴One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in His temple.
Is there any way you can dwell in the House of God without dwelling in His presence? Like I am here, I am the Husbandman of this earthly house as well as the Husbandman of the heavenly house. I represent the two. I am the earthly tabernacle. I am equally the Heavenly Being. Did you get the Message?
Now that I am here, is there any way you can be here and avoid My Presence?Can you be here and avoid My influence? Can you be here and avoid My handshake? No!
It will be almost impossible for Me, for there is no way you can be here, and avoid Me, avoid My handshake, avoid My salutation and avoid My errands. It is impossible. The only way to avoid it is to cast you away. And once I cast you away, you are on your own.
Number two: I must withdraw My Name from you. You will never bear My Name again. You will never bear the Name of this Family where the whole Glory of God is made manifest.
You can never bear the Name of the Family where all the children of God scattered all over the world are united. This is the Name of every family in heaven and on earth. They must be named after Christ. So, this is Christ’s Family.
That is why we sing it: ‘We are heirs of the Father. We are joint heirs with the Lord. We are children of the Kingdom. We are Family. We are one.
We are Family. We are one. We are Family of the Lord. We are Family. We are one.’ 5x
We are Family of the Lord. The Lord Himself is One. Family, one. Grammatically, the English is wrong by human assessment. It cannot be, ‘We are family.’ It should be, ‘We are families.’ But it cannot be so. He said the two are one. The two are one; the two are one. So, we are family. One family, one God, one LORD, one Christ, one salvation, one heaven, one character. Everything, one.
That is why it is very easy for us to notice one that is acting strangely among us. Did you get the Message? Assuming all of us are naked and that is our custom [that is our tradition], if among us, one is putting on dress, is he hidden? He is a transgressor! Did you get the Message?
God has commanded that Tom, Dick and Harry should go about naked, but there is one among us who claims to be more righteous than God, much holier than the Most Holy One. And the fellow says, ‘No, I cannot go naked. Let me put on my dress.’Do we need a prophet to say, ‘Thus saith the Lord?’ That is what it is.
I am using an illustration. It can be real. God commanded Prophet Isaiah to go naked in the whole community and everywhere including market places for three good years and declare, ‘Thus saith the Lord’, and was married with children. People thought he was a mad man.
So, God knows how to fool the wise. Isaiah thought it as nothing since it is obedience to the truth. After all, he was born naked. He never wore anything while he was coming out.
What brought about these coverings? Iniquity. Until Eve brought sin into [the] Garden of Eden, there was no garment sewn. There was no garment sewn. The Bible said they were together. They were naked, and they were not ashamed.
You see, that is a type of a union between a husband and a wife. They are naked in the bed, naked in the bathroom, naked everywhere, and they are not ashamed. That is marriage union; marriage union between man and God.
Remember we are heading back to that same place. Everybody! Where there is no consciousness of sin. This is because the moment the consciousness of sin is removed from you, sin ceases its power over you.
How is it removed? By believing the truth. The moment you believe the revealed truth without allowing it to clash with any relics, any remnant, any residue of the old wine stained with sin; of the old garbage because a little leaven, leaveneth the whole lump.
That is why the Bible said that you purge yourself of the old leaven.Purge yourself of it completely and then be a fresh new man with the freshness of the spirit, mind, reasoning and everything.
Reference source: 1^st Corinthians 5:7. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
Remember. The other day, I was talking to you on how you ought to guide yourself so that your sense of judgement cannot becloud your sense of reasoning. And your sense of reasoning cannot becloud your sense of judgement. The two must come together. The sense of reasoning and the sense of judgement must come together.
If one has overriding influence over the other, you are bound to err. That is why if you want to survive, see things through the eyes of God. See things through the eyes of God. And when you see things through the eyes of God, you reason with the Mind of God.
The Bible said that you have God’s Spirit.You have the mind of God. You know all things.
Reference: 1^st Corinthians 2:14-16. ¹⁴But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned. ¹⁵But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. KJV
I am not saying it because the Bible said so. It is better proved than imagined. When you begin to see things in the light of the truth, that is the eye of God in the light of the truth.
Who is the Truth? God. Who is the Way? God. Who is the Light? God. Any other thing or any other way you are seeing it is self-deceit. The devil is using you against yourself.
I hope you are hearing Me? The devil uses human beings against themselves. If you submit to the devil, he will use you first against yourself before he will begin to use you to disturb people around you.
You will be the number one victim that will be suffering it even silently. True or false? The devil cannot accuse you if you have not accused yourself. Did you get the message?
The Son of Man appeared to set you free. And if He has set you free, are you not free? Are you not free?
You may say you are free, but. That “but” has destroyed all. The moment you know you are free, all you have to do is to discountenance whatever might be the devil’s insinuation, for there is no way you can believe the truth and the devil will keep quiet.
He must come and ask you, “Are you sure? You say you are saved. How do you know? Can you prove it?” There is no way the devil will keep quiet.
When the Lord gave His children [Adam and Eve] instruction, did the devil keep quiet? The devil went there to inject something that God never said, all to blanket their eyes and their minds from the reality and that brought about death.
Reference: [1] Genesis 3:1-4.¹NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the Garden? ²And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, ³Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. ⁴But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die,AMP
[2] Revelation 12:9.And the huge dragon was cast down and out–that age-old serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, he who is the seducer (deceiver) of all humanity the world over; he was forced out and down to the earth, and his angels were flung out along with him. AMP
OUR INABILITY TO SEE THINGS WITH THE EYES OF TRUTH, THE EYES OF GOD AND REASON WITH THE MIND OF GOD, WITH THE SENSES OF GOD HAS BECOME OUR GREATEST UNDOING.
God knowing that we are One Family gave us instruction that we must be collectively joined together in one mind. Is it Scripture? We must be joined together in one mind, in one spirit, having the same judgement, speaking the same thing and minding the same thing, so that if there be one that walks contrary in your midst, even the Spirit of Christ will reveal.
The Scriptures said, “I beseech you by the mercies of the Lord Jesus Christ,’
Reference: 1^st Corinthians 1:10. ¹⁰Now I beseech you brethren, by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement.
All of you now that have been adopted into His Family; this is the Household of God. This is God’s own Family. I think I have read many Scriptures. Nobody is a stranger here, until you make yourself a stranger.
You enjoy all the benefits and privileges of citizens of this Family which is His Super Family – the First Family in the whole world.
As many as listened to Professor Mwantu will never forget that day. I do not know the man. I have not seen him. I have not heard about him.
Because of that single incident which he followed from the beginning to the end, a professor called from UNIJOS (University of Jos, Nigeria); an aged man. A seasoned professor. He poured encomiums on this Faith.
The greatest prayer he made is this:“Son of Man Sir, my Lord, my prayer is that You will live longer, for the sake of humanity. And this Ministry God committed into your hand for the salvation of humanity should continue to grow from strength to strength. I say may God bless the fellow brethren even around You.”
This is a man that has never seen Me. One singular incident. God knows what He will do and the whole world will bow down. But is that why we are here?
It was just to confirm to the man who was erring that he lacks appreciation. After rebuking and indicting him and judging him, the Word went forth. And God Who is mindful of His Word, rests at nothing until He fulfills it.
The Bible is clear about it, that God is behind His Word bringing it to pass.So let us, as many as have the revelation of who God is appreciate and worship Him.

Anybody that is not found in the Faith of the Son of Man is lost. In every age, there is always a Messenger, God’s own beloved Son, in whom He is well pleased. Where He will say to everybody, “Hear ye HIM.” There can never be two saviours in one dispensation. It has never happened before and it will not start with you. There is only but one saviour here in our own age for God is One and His Name, One.

THE SON OF MAN

BE ON THE RED ALERT; Preached on Sunday 30^th September, 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 119 vs. 2 – 3

ARE YOU A CITIZEN OR A

STRANGER [1]?

Yesterday, I felt at home when I was hearing the Message that was handled by Apostle Kelechi, being readby way of encouraging the Brethren and he was sitting there. He heard it from A to Z, after which he excused himself to go and urinate.

There is nobody here who will say that he has not seen the Glory of God. I am not preaching an imaginary God. If what happened here on the 29^th of August last year (2021) could not put fear in all of us who are still alive and who saw the thing, notably Chika, Bright and Myself. The rest were not with us here.
If the fear of God departs from you, that goes to show that you are not a seed of God. This is because what came in has the power to eliminate all of us. The thing has the power also to take us away. And the surroundings [people that are living around] would not have noticed what took place.
This is because everywhere was locked and we did not make a noise that could attract people so much. We were making the noise we made because [I mean] we were alive.
What if the first time He appeared and gazed at us, all of us died? What if the second one, He carried all of us away? What would have remained here would have been an empty house.
The people will come and start breaking the door to notice no flesh lying there. They will be imagining because what came in had enough power to catch us away, and it did not give us another notice.
After that first sign, I knew it was the introduction, and that the Main One was coming. That one was as if He came to say, “I salute you.”
The second one became an eye opener. Those that never believed in the beginning saw something that helped them to believe that we do not gather here to jest; and we do not gather here to tell stories.
Bright! Look up! Your mother has handed you over to the spirit of destruction. If you cannot save yourself now, you are getting destroyed. She told Me she has washed off her hands. She said that you are on your own, and that she is on her own.
She told Me that she had already told you the same thing again, that you should strive to save your head while she will strive to save her own head, for you are now of age. Did she tell you that?
[Bright responds,“She told me, Sir.”]
Did she tell you that?
[Bright responds,“Yes Sir.”]
Good! I thank God Who provided telephone communication where we can interact. Without delay, I called her last night and alerted her of the latest development around you. She called to confirm and was satisfied with her findings that you have already decided to get lost, and you have made up your mind.
So, I thank God for all of you here. Those that came from Enugu, you are welcome. You are not in another family. That was why you were blowing your horn at the Gate.
If you were strangers, of course, you know you will remain there till we finish. You knew that the Gate must open. You knocked and knocked; you blew your horn when I was taking My bath.
I had already told the Pastor when we were discussing that Bro. Clifford was on the way. That is why I must delay, for I will like him to be a part of the Fellowship. Is it not what I told you?
[Pastor Chizoba responds,“It is.”]
Good! No sooner you started singing than I heard the horn. At about few minutes after eight o’clock, I heard the horn consistently for about four times. I thought you had already gone there. So, I relaxed.
While I was dressing, My phone rang. I called back. Lo and behold, they were there at the Gate.
If they are strangers, they dare not try it today. Blowing horn at My gate or knocking? Who are you? You will incur My wrath. One, the door will notopen. I think that is the thing now.
I want to give you one illustration. All along, I have been with Brother Clifford. He travelled to Malaysia. Anytime he came back to Nigeria, there was no time he had the courage of knocking at My door. He was always accompanied by people whose names he used to open the door.
If it is not his brother Kelechi, it will be Brother Lucky or Sunday. But as for him, he never attempted it. One day, he attempted it and he was asked to go back.
He felt astonished, “Do not cross this gate!” Gently, he obeyed and carried everything he came with, forI do not need them.
This time around, he came back [to Nigeria] to stay. It continued that same way. He could not find his feet to knock at this Gate unless somebody accompanied him.
Even on the few occasions he came on his own, he came to deliver a message from Opi. It was either he bought fruit or somebody like Deacon Chimaobi gave him wine to give to Me. But the moment he tied himself to My Son Wisdom, gradually, the love of Wisdom saturated his heart.
He hid under My Son who is always in My love. He hid under him. And Wisdom is such that could use his leg to blaster the Gate.
Before he will leave Enugu, we must know. If he arrives at the Gate, we must know. He even made Wisdom his driver.
I rose up, “You know how to drive perfectly. I have seen you driving. Why do you use wisdom always?” I closed the chapter there.
Gradually, gradually, gradually, Wisdom brought him into the Family. Bringing him into the Family was not enough. Gradually, gradually, he began to come out of his cocoon.
I watched him. All the while he was there with his plans somewhere. And his eyes, somewhere. He never intimated Me. I was hearing with My ears. His feet never stepped here.
Watch what God is doing. Watch what God is doing. Today, you are married to somebody who cannot knock. Did you get the Message? He is married to somebody who cannot knock. That is why you are seated there.
You blew your horn, and blew your horn again, butno response. Before I knew it, My phone rang, and it was Chiamaka, “Daddy, we have been at this gate.” I said, “Ah, ah!Were you the one blowing the horn?” Shesaid, “Daddy, we have been there.”
I came out almost naked here. I was not wearing anything on top when I came down and tapped FearGod and said, “Rush to the gate!” And that was before I went upstairs to begin to dress again. Did you get the Message?
I want to show you the difference between the owner of the family and the stranger. The stranger is afraid, sore afraid. The owner of the home, by day or by night, the moment the voice is heard, the gateman must open.
That was what happened to My wife. When they were trying to prove stubborn because they knew her not, she gave a command, “Will you give way? I am the wife of The Son of Man.” Then she heard another voice, “Prove it!” She said, “Prove what?!” They had the conversation in the day. “Prove what? What do you want me to prove?”
Immediately, I rushed and I said, “Calm down. They are your children. You will soon meet with them.” To the others, I said,“Open the Gate. That is My wife.”
Immediately, her hands went up. She began to rejoice, “Nnam o!” [My Father!]She then turned to them again, “I told you. I am a super Saint.”
Her countenance changed. Then she started making plea, “I want all of you to go, let me now rest.”They said, “Rest for what? We are not yet through with you. When we are through, you will go. We are leaving you tomorrow, not today.”
There is a great difference between the owner of the family and a stranger. Whatever you make yourself before God is what you are. Did you get the message? Is it true?
Ephesians Chapter 2:19-20. Give it to Me in Living Bible and I will show you few Scriptures before I go to the Sunday School.
Ephesians Chapter 2 from verse 19, Living Bible. ¹⁹Now you are no longer strangersto God …..Now you are no longer what?
¹⁹Now, you are no longer strangers to God…..Where is that God? Who is that God? Who is that stranger to Me now? How can you be here and be a stranger? Why are you making yourself a stranger? Have you not seen reasons why you should naturalize?
If you go to a foreign country and you find out that the place is conducive for habitation and even better than your country, what do you do? You apply for citizenship.
When you naturalize, you become a citizen of that country. You enjoy all the benefits and privileges accruable to all the citizens of that country. True or false?
Even if you die, you will be buried there as a citizen. You are no longer a stranger. You are covered by their immunity. Then you travel from there to places. At the end, you are a citizen of that country. You have their identity and everything.
¹⁹Now, you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven,…. Can you imagine!
You are not foreigners to heaven. Why are you not a foreigner to heaven? You now possess citizenship with a membership card. You have the Supreme identity, signed and sealed by One Man Who is given the power, for Him alone had the Father sent and also sealed.
The Bible said that He is the only authorized signature. Any other thing you are holding is fake. Fake and counterfeit!
¹⁹Now, you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven, BUT YOU ARE MEMBERS OF GOD’S VERY OWN FAMILY,….
You are what? Members of God’s very own Family. So, God has His very own Family. He also has His own families scattered abroad. All of them must be joined to this Super Family where He has already been vindicated.
Look at Him – the Invisible. For your sake, He made Himself visible and convinced you that He is a Being in a Being. And that “A Being in a Being” is the Owner of this earthly structure harboring you here now, and Who eventually turns out to be your Kinsman.
Is there any privilege greater than this? If you are a stranger in My House, what will you be out there? Or have you seen reasons why, even if you are a stranger, you should apply for citizenship? Have you not seen reasons why you should apply to be a life member of this Family, with the decision that wherever God is, there I will be? Is it not true?
If you are a stranger, it then means you are not numbered among those that brought Him back.
After preparing a place, He came back to take you to Himself, so that wherever He is, there you will be. He said, “Comfort one another with these words” that you are no longer lost. You are no longer aliens.
Before now, you were lost and undone, without any hope of eternal life. But you that were afar has He brought to Himself and established you in His own Household.
If you have not seen reasons why you should apply for citizenship and know whether it will be considered, it then means you are still holding unto a false premise that where you were is better than God’s own Family. You are still holding unto the falsehood that Satan’s family where you were is better than God’s Family.
Can a sensible human being say so? That the family of the devil is better? That living with the devil is better than living with God? Can a mad man say so? If a mad man says it, why then didhe run mad? Is it not the devil that made him mad?
¹⁹… but you are members of God’s very own family; citizens of God’s own country,….Citizens of God’s own country. ….and you belong in God’s household,’That’s all, …..with every other Christian. With every other child of God, you belong to God’s own Household.
Nothing can be truer than the truth. Can you read it in the Amplified version of the Bible, because I believe it magnified it also.
¹⁹Therefore, you are no longer outsiders (exiles,…..You are no longer outsiders.….exiles, migrants,and aliens,… And what? …..aliens,…. Foreigners!…..excluded from the rights of citizens),….. what?…..excluded from the rights of citizens),……
You see why I made My solemn request asking for an all-inclusive salvation? I cannot have the broadest mind and narrow My salvation plan for the Gentiles. No! Not even for the Jews.
Remember, you are either a Jew or a Gentile. The God of the Jews is the God of the Gentiles. From the Gentiles, He is revealing Himself for the last time to the Jews.
¹⁹Therefore, you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants and aliens excluded from the rights of citizens),….
In time past, were you all not excluded? When youknew not God, you knew not the way of truth, talk less of applying for citizenship.
THOSE THAT HAVE BECOME REAL CITIZENS ARE NEVER AFRAID BY DAY AND BY NIGHT AS TO WHETHER THEY WILL BE SAVED OR NOT SAVED. When You talk about struggling for salvation, they will go and sleep. Is it not SO?
The illustration I gave is still there till today about the young lady who was in an aeroplane and there was trouble in the air. The father, an expert pilot, was in the cockpit. When he announced that there was trouble in the air, and that the plane was developing a fault, he demanded that all, including the crew and passengers alike should go into prayers.
The little girl tapped her friend on the shoulder and said, “Joyce, are you sleeping when our lives are in danger? The pilot has signaled an alarm that danger is lurking in the air. The plane has developed serious fault.”
Joyce sprang up from her sleep, looked around and asked the friend, “Please, is my daddy still in the cockpit?” The girl said, “Very much in the cockpit.’ Joyce went back to sleep.Joyce went back to sleep. Eventually, the aeroplane landed safely. I hope you are hearing Me?
Members of this very Household of God do not go about asking when translation will take place or whether the catching away has taken place. The only thing they want to know is, “Is Daddy still on the scene? Is the Son of Man still on the scene? You know you have seen Him. Is He talking? Is He moving about? You have seen Him? That is all I need.”
They will go to bed and sleep. For they know they are only waiting for time to take off. For there is no way it will take off and they are not there. Who then will be there? If they are not there, the thing will not take off.
Who could promise His son-in-law when he was adjudged barren and He said, “My dear, I came to your house and I saw your son. I saw your daughter with age variation. During My family altar in your house, they were playing, one tapping the other and their mother was busy knocking on their heads.
The promise is for you. Let Me show you a sign. I will not go anywhere and nobody is going to be taken away from the Bride by translation until it has come to pass. Instead of this vision not coming to pass, I will delay it [translation] longer than necessary.”
When it came to pass, you all saw it – man and woman – with age variation. Then those that lined behind her began to make their own requests, “Daddy, you are not going anywhere ooo. You will see our children. Daddy, I have not yet married ooo. I will marry. I will also give birth and you will see my own child too.” Another said, “Will my own be different?” Did you get the Message?
AS ONE WHO HAS THIS SUPER FAMILY, HE BEGAN TO LOOK FOR A WAY THAT WILL MAKE THEM TO ENTER PARADISE WITH SMILES, AND NOT WITH SORROWS. ALL OF THEM MUST ENTER PARADISE WITH SMILING FACES, UNLESS YOU ARE NOT A CITIZEN OF THIS FAMILY. YOU ARE A STRANGER? EXCLUDED? GOD FORBID!!
HOW CAN ONE BE A STRANGER IN HIS FATHER’S HOUSE? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? Even if you are an adopted child, that family that adopted you is higher than your own family. Simply feel free and be there. FEEL FREE!
And if the owner of that family notices that you are not comfortable, He will send you out. Once He sends you out, He sends you away from His presence and from his blessings.
This is because to cast you away from God means to cast you away from the promises of God and from the Kingdom of God. You have no hope in the life that God gives. You can now begin to gain material possessions and then perish with them.
…. but you now share citizenship with the Saints (God’s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself);…What? Consecrated and set apart for Who? For God Himself. …and you belong to God’s [own] Household.’
Who consecrated you? God. Who set you apart? God. For Who’s sake? For Himself. That is why you are God’s own purchased possession. Why are you then making yourself a stranger?
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE A STRANGER? YOU CAN HARDLY INTEGRATE WITH WHAT IS BEING DONE IN THE FAMILY.
The whole thing will seem odd and strange to you because you would always want things to go the way you knew them before in your own community. You have not yet accepted the Family as you own.
It is just like when you take somebody to be your father.He will know. Every instruction He gives you, you must obey. But when you begin to turn disobedient,He knows. He will develop another attitude towards you, especially when He does not want you to be offended. He knows the way He will follow you.
At the end of the day, He will tell you plainly, “Because you found it difficult to admit Me, it will be impossible for Me also to admit you into My Everlasting Kingdom.
So, do not have that interaction and acquaintance with God here and miss it eternally because it is only eternity that will be enough for us to express our gratitude. Only eternity will be enough.
Whatever we are doing here, to Me, I feel it is nothing. I, in particular, am saying that I am greatly indebted to God, that in the whole population of the whole world, He singled one man out to bear His Name. The lot fell on Me,throughout the whole earth.
What a privilege! Who is enjoying it? It is not that I worked for it or prayed for it. That has been [I mean] His divine intention and purpose for bringing Me into existence.
Then He conferred Me with absolute authority over all flesh to give even eternal life [the costliest thing] to anybody I want to. And to destroy anybody I want to.
Who has ever been given this kind of privilege? That the totality of what makes Him God is conferred to One Man. If He is a wicked man, nobody will live.
He weighed Him to be the most merciful, the most compassionate, the most caring, the most loving, the most understanding. What is more? Most patient, most tolerant. Most patient, most tolerant.

Christ is the owner of His Church and He cannot share His Glory with any man. He is the administrator of His Church and He has commanded His Ministers to be very careful the way they handle the affairs of His Kingdom. You are administrators God has approved to look after His own Heritage. At the end, you will have a reward from the Man that appointed you. And Ministers! You know it is a privilege, not a merit. Do you know that?

BUILDING PLAN: GOD’S PLAN TO ESTABLISH HIS CHURCH VOL 2; preached on Sunday 29^th October, 1995 at the Household of God, Jos; Pg. 131 vs. 22

ARE YOU A CITIZEN OR A S

TRANGER? [2]

What it takes to dwell in the Presence of the Lord. Get Me Ephesians Chapter 1 from verse 3. Living Bible.

³How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.
⁴Long ago, even before He made the world, God chose us to be His very own….
What? Is this statement not stimulating? It is not only stimulating.It is also sensitizing. It is a sensitive statement that you never recognized when God made this selection.And that is the Ancient of Days, Whom you knew not. He had already chosen you even when you never knew Him.
Did He choose you to be what? Did he choose you to be a stranger? Did he choose you to be a foreigner? Did he choose you to be alien? He chose you to be His very own!
Do you force somebody into God’s hands? When He makes His choice, His choice is final. Whether you agree with it or not, God is not interested. Chosen of God before the world began to be His very own.
Let Me use one instance here. See Chika. Of all the youths that gathered here, I was taking care of by the year 2014, Chika was the youngest. That is number one.
Chika was the most ignorant. All of them, physically and all roundwere better placed than him. He could not differentiate his left from his right. He only had the stamina to work. But talk of every other aspect of life, Chika was completely wanting, for nobody groomed him.
In short, we assumed the worst. We took the worst. We discarded those who knew something and took one who knew nothing. And today, you can see.
He cannot say we took him because of this or that. No, no, no! We took him because we wanted to. Not that he did anything special for us ooo. Nothing! We were just coming in. Chiamaka, were you not there?
Did he help us with packing in properties here? He was doing his work for a pay just like the others. But at the end of the day, we all gathered and deliberated, “I am laying off all these workers. Who among them here do you think we take in so that we could help him? Is it Chibuzor, or Echezona or Chika?”this is because I laid the rest off leaving these three.
Both young and old, everybody pointed at Chika, “Chika is the one. Daddy, Chika is the one. Daddy, Chika is the one.”
I said, “Ah!Is it this Chika that is too dirty? Chika that does not have anything to offer and who isalways wearing dross? (Dross is a local slang for underwear). Is it this Chika that hardly takes bathes and is always smelling?”
They said, ‘Daddy, leave him. We choose Chika.” I asked, “Mummy, who do we choose?” She said, “Chika is the one.” I said, “Okay. Now I am happy that all of you chose Chika.”
You see! You see election! You see election. They cast votes. All of them voted for Chika who had nothing to offer, but he won the vote. His winning pleased My heart.
Why? He is the first son of My childhood friend and My best. And we started together in 1978 when I knew nobody. His father became number one.
And we were together in the same fellowship. We established “Royal Ambassadors”in The Baptist Church. [We] were sleeping in My bed together. And he turned out to be the first son. An opportunity for Me now to consolidate My friendship with the father and with the family. Have you seen it?
By election, that which Chika could not even purchase with money; that which Chika could not win by his goodness or his badness, for Chika was nothing, election purchased it for him.
If you meet him on the way, you would not even talk to him nor see him as worth anything. Chika now won the election, but not by merit.
That which he could not achieve of his own self will, industry and so on, election purchased it for Chika.
I am using natural illustrations. And I know that so shall it be spiritually. There is nobody among you that are present here that will say, “This is what I did that made Daddy to have interest in me.” What I am telling you is truth ooo. Nobody here!
Do not look at Chiamaka and the others. They are categorized with Ijeoma and the rest. They have been My Family from the beginning when they were in the blues; when their mother was not even married. Their mother was unknown. They were with Me because their father was always with Me from childhood. When I was not married, they were with Me.
So look away from them. I liken them to the family of Joseph that was locked inside the bedroom and then Joseph came out to the parlour to meet with the congregation, having sealed his family away.Did you get the message?
You do not need to struggle for it. In short, better understand Me. If you make yourself a slave or a servant in this Family, you will not enjoy benefits of citizenship, for the Bible said that a slave or a servant does not stay in the house of the master forever, for he must leave one day. But it is not so for a true citizen of the family.
Reference source: John 8:35, ‘And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.’ KJV
If you can banish a true citizen of the family from this Family, hear Me very well. You have succeeded in stopping monkey from eating banana. Did you get the Message? You cannot!
Even if you lock up these doors, they will jump the fence. They can even break the wall and tell you that you do not have the right to lock them out of this Family. Who are you? They will tell you that all of us are members of this Family.
But a servant who knows he is a servant and does not want to apply for citizenship will end it being a servant. He will never abide with the master forever. Did you get the message?
If I take all of you that are sojourning with Me as slaves and servants, not even one of you will smell My bedroom or know My secrets. But you discover that you know all. You know all. You have access to everywhere.
I will be there and give you instruction, “Go and get this thing. Pack these things. Look at where you are going.” You handle these things because I am not afraid. I do not even suspect you of anything. No foul play. Even if you do it, your conscience will not set you free. Can a man do harm to himself?
But today, you are harming yourself, Bright! If you do not know, know it today, because when you are making yourself a stranger, you will not exercise freedom among your Brethren. You will be looking cheated and also feeling cheated. You will be eating, yet looking lean. No joy will be seen on your face.
When you come to a family where you are welcomed with every amount of godly welcome, you loosen yourself. The best in you will now begin to come out.You are not afraid as to whether they will kill you or do this or chase you away. No!
The fear of being chased away will always make you to develop fever. You will be feverish, passing sleepless nights because you are harbouring such thoughts.
Why? You are still making yourself a stranger. True or false? Is it a lie Brethren?
That is why wherever the Spirit of Christ is and rules, there must be Real liberty. Liberty of the spirit and liberty of the flesh.
Then you will recognize who you are as temporary citizens and aliens to this earth. We are all foreigners and strangers. We are going away.
Is Clement not the one in the mortuary all along? Is he here now? Does he still come here, “Daddy, see this or see that”? What if it is your turn? Why is he lying there?
I ignored him because of his behavior before he died. I was looking for a way to co-opt him into My Family, but the more I tried, the more he was saying, “I do not want.”
He made the last-minute mistake [which others were avoiding] by rejecting the Brethren before he died. Yet, receiving their help, enjoying their money and enjoying their everything, but still rejecting the wife, accusing her of being extravagant and accusing her of giving brethren information about his health and family. Before their eyes. You were there with others. (Pastor Chizoba responded, “Pure truth sir!”)
And others like the mother-in-law [a pagan] came and condemned him. The mother of the wife also came, condemned the wife and condemned Clement. The brothers of the wife came, condemned the wife and condemned the husband.
All happened before all of you. [Pastor Chizoba responded, “Yes Sir!”] Who then am I? You see how God works.
If everybody that comes into this Family is pointing at you, and you are receiving condemnation after condemnation,even from your own mother, you have to do something. You have to do something. This may be the last time.
The man who brought you here will be here on Tuesday. And you do not know why he is coming. You do not know whether he is coming to take you home or whether he is coming to talk to you. You do not know My mind.
But assuming you made yourself a citizen, you will not be panicking as to the reason why he is coming. Are you hearing what I am saying?
Now, look at these ones here.You know all of them.There is none I will threaten, saying, “I will send you away.” Even if I threaten them, somebody like Chiamaka will just ignore Me and go inside the house,“Come and carry me and throw me out.” This is the truth!
The other day, I went with you. Before I could open My mouth, your mum stared at Me and said, “Daddy, what are you saying? What was she doing for me before now for which cause you want to bring her back?”
I said, “To help You run errands.” She said, “Please do not say that again. Let us head towards where we are going.” The father came, the same thing.
Let Me not talk about your wife (referring to Bishop Chidubem). If I had not restricted her, she would have run back here. She said that she told you so. She said she told you so and that she will stay two weeks in your house, and then spend two weeks here. That is what her siblings said. Nobody knew that Ijeoma could still go back to her husband.
Onyedika said her own will be one week at her husband’s place, and then three weeks here. I told her that it is a lie, and that she will get accustomed to staying in her husband’s house. Within a short time from now, if you tell her to come back here, she will refuse. She will move on with her children.
So, by God’s grace, it will happen in My eyes. I said that by God’s Grace, it will happen in My eyes. I will behold it with My own very eyes.
So do not make yourself strangers. If I see you behaving strangely, you see, I will be skeptical, straight away. Skepticism is a part of every true messenger of God.
There are certain things [certain behaviours] that He will begin to see, and He labels it rejection.
It is just like I keep giving you Igbo proverb, “Withthe words of your mouth, a child is chased away, but with the look of the eyes, an adult is chased away.” Is it a lie?
In the place where you are received and welcomed, it starts with the eyes of your host. Is it a lie? If you visit someone who receives and welcomes you warmly, you do not need a prophet to tell you that the person received you and the heart equally accepted you.
In the case of a child, you say it with the word of the mouth, but to an adult, it is done with the eyes. Then you will know that the person welcomed you and that his heart is pure.

God now talks to us in the language of the Elect. So henceforth, it will take the Elect alone to understand the real meaning of every statement that will come out of My mouth. Amen.

THE SON OF MAN

LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS VOL. 2; Preached on 30^th April 2000 at the Household Onitsha; Pg. 26 vs. 17 – 18

God has chosen us to be his very own [1]

Look at what we gain when we stand in the Presence of God.

Ephesians Chapter 1 from verse 3. Living Bible. ^[3]How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.
God has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to the Anointed One, the Messiah, Christ, the Saviour. All those blessings automatically are yours. Every blessing in heavenly places.
^[4]Long ago, even before He made the world, God chose us to be His very own…
Do you know when God made the world? Do you know when He made the world?1^st John Chapter 1 said, “Christ Himself… Christ Himself.’ Read it and let us know. 1^st John Chapter 1 verse 1.
^[1]Christ was alive when the world began. Yes, I myself have seen Him with my own eyes and listened to Him speak. I have touched Him with my own hands. He is God’s Message of Life. LB
Him! Him! Him! Him!
^[2]This one who is Life from God has been shown to us and we guarantee that we have seen Him; …
Do you guarantee that?Can you guarantee that you have seen Him? Colossians 1:16. Can you guarantee that you have seen Him, and that you have heard Him speak, you have touched Him with your hand and that you have had everything in common with Him?
Colossians 1:16, Living Bible. ^[16]Christ Himself is the Creator,… Christ Himself! Christ. The revealed Christ, the Messiah, the Saviour and everything. He is Himself, the Creator.
^[16]Christ Himself is The Creator Who made everything in heaven and earth,…..
What is that “Everything” in heaven and earth? Are you not inclusive? If God says, “You belong to Me”, why not begin to rejoice? For He said, “I created you. I formed you. I made you.” Is there any statement that is more heartwarming than this?
I do not believe I will have a regrettable creature. Did you get what I am saying? Every true child of God aims at making God glad at all times.
There is a song we usually sing.When you make God glad, you are making yourself glad.
Song: I am so glad my Saviour loves me, Saviour loves me, Saviour loves me. I am so glad my Saviour loves me, Saviour loves you and me.
Christ Himself is the Creator Who made everything in heaven and earth; the things we can see and the things we can’t; the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers and authorities; all were made by Christ for His own use and glory.For what?…for His own use and glory.
The more you know the truth, the more you are being set free. If you do not know this truth, you will remain in bondage to falsehood. That is why the bible said you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Reference: John 8:32, Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. KJV
Then why should somebody turn rebellious? Why should somebody turn rebellious to He that created all things, fashioned them and designed them to suit His own use and purpose?
Ephesians Chapter 1 from verse 4. ‘Long ago, even before he made the world,…..
Remember, at any point in time, if you are not living for Christ, you are living for yourself which is the devil.
If I say I want to live for myself, I am living for the devil, for there are two spirits that govern the affairs of men; the Spirit of Christ, and the Spirit of the Devil. True or false? These Are the two spirits that govern the affairs of men.
I told somebody yesterday that I am a fool for Christ. Okay, that is Brother Collins. ‘I am a fool for Christ. Whose fool are you? Whose fool are you?’ And he laughed and laughed, got up from his feet and pondered over the statement being an educated fellow.
Ah! Ah! I am a fool for Christ. Call Me a fool. That is what I am. Why do you call Me a fool? It is because the ways of Christ run contrary to the ways of mere natural men.
And everything pertaining to God, to a naturally-minded fellow, it sounds foolish and appears foolish. And in this way they call the way of foolishness, that is the way we worship our own God.
Reference 1: 1^st Corinthians 2:14, ‘But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.’ KJV
Reference 2: Acts 24:14, ‘But this I confess unto thee, that the way they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets.’ KJV
So, the foolishness of God is by far wiser than the wisdom of wisest man. God in His foolishness! At that point where you have adjudged God’s action and everything to be foolish, He is wiser than the wisest.
When He saw to it that the wise people of this world could not yield to His ways, for they remained unbending to the truth, He decided to choose infants, riffraffs, nonentities like you and I, using them now to humiliate the wise and the prudent and the great debaters of this world’s affairs.
References:[1] 1 Corinthians 1:25-29. ²⁵Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
²⁷but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; ²⁸and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: ²⁹that no flesh should glory in his presence. KJV
[2] 1 Corinthians 1:19-21. ¹⁹For it is written, I will baffle and render useless and destroy the learning of the learned and the philosophy of the philosophers and the cleverness of the clever and the discernment of the discerning; I will frustrate and nullify [them] and bring [them] to nothing.
²⁰Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time and age? Has not God shown up the nonsense and the folly of this world’s wisdom?
²¹For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him).AMP
Hence the Lord Jesus said, “Blessed are your eyes for beholding all these things; your ears for hearing all these things, for your heart have believed in Me. Things that are hidden from the wise and the prudent are now revealed to you babes. B-A-B-E-S!Infants who are of no worth or value in the eyes of the people of the world.”
Reference: [1] Matthew 13:16-17.¹⁶But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. ¹⁷For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.KJV
[2] Luke 10:21. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.KJV [Also Matthew 11:25-26]
That which God hid away from the scholars, philosophers and debaters of this world, He revealed to us babes and infants who know nothing and who are unknown to the world. Who can believe that God is talking to you now?
Reference: 1^st Corinthians 1:25, 27, ‘²⁰So what about these wise men, these scholars, these brilliant debaters of this world’s great affairs? God has made them all look foolish and shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense.
²¹For God in His wisdom saw to it that the world would never find God through human brilliance, and then He stepped in and saved all those who believed His Message, which the world calls foolish and silly…
²⁵This so-called “foolish” plan of God is far wiser than the wisest plan of the wisest man, and God in His weakness-Christ dying on the cross-is far stronger than any man…
²⁷Instead, God has deliberately chosen to use ideas the world considers foolish and of little worth in order to shame those people considered by the world as wise and great.’LB
A little boy who came back from school, the son to Pastor Thomas’s neighbour. He went looking for his parents only to tell them that the little boy living in your house [the son to James Agbom] told them that God lives in our street here. And that Pastor Thomas and the family know that God lives in this street.
And the boy went looking for his parents to tell them what James Agbom’sson told him in school. Have you ever told anybody that God is a man? But a little boy who is less than five years is the one preaching it in school.
The boy’s father told him to wait while he enquires from Pastor Thomas. The father went to Pastor Thomas and said, “Hear what my son told me. Is it true that God lives in this street?” Pastor Thomas said Yes! Emphatically yes! Then the man closed his mouth and quietly went back to his house. No argument!
Song:[I need no other argument. I need no other plea. It is enough that Saviour came and that he came for me.
I have no other argument. I have no other plea. It is enough my Saviour came and that He’shere for me]
He came, and He is here for Me. I do not have any argument concerning that anymore. So, I am living My life beyond argument and on that higher ground. Where doubts and fears arise, I am not there. I have escaped. I have escaped.
Where I am now, no doubts; no fear can ever persist there, for I am now holding unto the head where everything is united. I am holding unto the head. I am not holding unto the legs or the hands that can be amputated. I am holding unto the Head from where every part of the body is joined.
Cut off the head, the body becomes lifeless and stationary. The whole organs in the body are joined to the head. Is that not Scripture? Is that not Scripture?
Reference 1: Colossians 2:19, ‘And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.’ KJV
Reference 2: Ephesians 4:15-16, ‘But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.’KJV
Naturally speaking, are not all the organs of your body connected to your head? If you cut off your head, the rest becomes lifeless and non-functional.
But the most sensitive parts of the body are located in the head. I say the most sensitive; your brain, your eyes, your ears, your nose, your mouth, your gullet. The gullet is the Holy Spirit.
See the gullet. See the gullet from the Pyramid. What unites your head to the entire body is the neck. So, the neck is the Holy Spirit. In the neck is the gullet. True or false? That which joins the rest of the body with the Head is the neck. The connecting link between the Head and the entire body is the neck. Amen.
God knows what He is doing. If I should type it, you will marvel. The connecting link between your upper body and your legs is where? Look at it here. Have you seen it? What do you call it? Your waist.
That is why when you want to paralyze a human being, all you do is to disconnect all the nerves and all the veins that link up the limbs [lower limbs to the upper limbs]. The legs are paralyzed.
Why? Because they lead straight to the spine. The moment the spinal column gets broken, the body becomes paralyzed down. The upper chamber will remain alive, but cannot move about because the connecting link is broken.
But the rope [the rope; the rope] that connects the back of the trailer to the head of the trailer is the neck. There is no trailer that arrives from overseas with the back [the backend]. The backed is constructed locally. It comes as the truck-head only. The backed is constructed by Ekene Dili Chukwu. Then a rope is used to fasten the bucket to the truck-head which is the reason why it often disconnects.
Tanker disconnects. Brother Steven [welders] are the ones that construct the tanks. The tanksare not factory-fitted to the truck-heads. The truck-heads come alone. Then you will construct the backed which you will fasten to it.
And once the backed pulls out from the head, it becomes stationary. It does not go anywhere again.
It is applicable to the train. Trains are only imported as the heads that carry the engine. The rest come as body parts that will be fixed.
Sometimes, it disconnects. And once the attached coaches disconnect, you see the head moving alone on its own. The whole coaches will remain standstill including the people they are carrying. The whole passengers in the train will be trapped in the wilderness.
The head will continue on its journey and it can never stop midway until it gets to the station. Then they will now talk about the conveyor that will come for rescue and then pull the coaches back to the station. Otherwise, all those passengers will die there.
I will use everything to help you to know that God is in the business of saving people.
So, watch what happens when you are in the Presence of God, dwelling in His house.

If you do not have the conviction that I am what I am claiming to be, you are not My disciple (an Elect). He that created the Heaven and Earth is here with you bodily. If you are not here by revelation of who I am (The Supreme Intelligence Himself), you are not with Me..

THE SON OF MAN

MY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ME (OPI SERIES); preached in 2001;Pg. 8 paragraph 1

God has chosen us to be his very own [2]

Ephesians 1 from verse 4. ^[4]Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us;….. through what? …through what Christ would do for us;…

Why is it not what you will do for yourself? Somebody in a vehicle yet carrying his load on his head and sweating profusely. And he says, “No! I will not bring it down.” Yet, he paid his transport fare. And he is also carrying a load.
But in this case, you are not even the one that paid the transport fare. Somebody purchased the ticket for you and told you to enter. The fare has been paid for you. Just carry your luggage and enter.
Now, you are told to release the luggage to be taken to the booth, but you refuse. “Ok, let us place it on the floor of the vehicle, but you still refused.”
You now sat down on the chair, with your entire luggage and placed it on your head. And as the vehicle bumps into potholes and gallops, you will be battling with your luggage.
Do we have people like that? Number one is Bright. God said, “Cast your burden upon the Lord, for He careth for you. Be careful for nothing. Through prayers and supplications, let your needs be made known to God in prayer.
Reference: Philippians 4:6, ‘Be careful for noting, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.KJV
Have you trials and temptations? Have you troubles anywhere? Take it to the Lord in prayers. They are existing because you have not believed in Him. You have not acknowledged Him.
Roman Reigns (The professional wrestler) will come out and say, “Acknowledge me.”
Before any other thing, acknowledge Me. Have you acknowledged God to be God over you and to be your Creator?
Let Me tell you. You are a wonderful people who are privileged to have God in Person for your Teacher; the Creator of heaven and earth.
Somebody wrote Me a text. Who read it for Me? Somebody who was praising God that The Creator of heaven and earth could call his line and interact with him. He said that it is a privilege that is not given to people out there.
Bishop who? [Pastor Chizoba responded,“Bishop Joe Ukpong.”] Yes!Thank you. Yes!And I have his assignment even here; well bound.
Do you know what it means? A greater than the president of your country who you know you can never approach in his office. Have you ever been to the state governor’s lodge before? Have you ever been to a local government chairman’s office before?
Have you ever had a handshake with a common pastor in your church? Have you ever gone close to his wife or even his children? Do you know who his children are?
Now, The Creator of heaven and earth is the One dwelling with you in your midst. You have been giving Him water as well as drinking and eating with Him and having everything in common with Him. He made Himself accessible to all which is the reason why infants are always around Him. I think we do not reason.
Let us repeat that place again. ^[4]Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us;…..
Then is it through what I can do for myself? Tell Me what you can do for yourself. Without God, you can do absolutely nothing. The help of man is vain.
Can you change the mind of God? By your efforts, what have you achieved? When you were struggling without Christ to live right in His sight, did you succeed? Tell Me. Did you succeed?
…..he decided then to make us holy in his eyes,without a single fault. –…..
Did He say make us holy in the eyes of the world? He did it so that when He will look at Me, He will see no sin. He will look at you, He will see no sin. Why? You are members of His own Family, covered by His Presence and by His immunity.
He decided to make us holy in His own eyes. If I am holy in the eyes of God, whatever the world likes, let them call me. If God is pleased with me, let the whole world hate me.
Do you understand what I am saying? I do not know whether we are seeking the praise of men or the praise of God. I do not know whether we want to be holy in the eyes of the world or holy in the eyes of God. I do not know who will save us; whether God or the world.
The Cloud is here. My salvation is under the Cloud. Once I am covered by the Cloud, I am under the Cloud, and I am secured. That is My indestructible asylum.
…He decided then to make us holy in His eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before hiM covered with His love.
I believe we sang it. [Oh love of God.] We who stand before Him covered with the love of God. We who stand before God covered with the Love of God.
Is that not the reason why I always ask you this question, “Why do I labour?” If you are not My children, why am I labouring to make sure you feed well and you live [I mean] a standard life expected of normal human beings?
Why do I want to present you to the world to be the envy of the world? Why do I want to make you first class citizens? Why do I labour for your good, pray for your good, wish you well, counsel you, and do everything for you? Is it because I hate you?
I go for the best for all of you. Even the food I supply, you do not eat that one in your own father’s family. True or false? Chiamaka, is there any lie there?
If you taste the Abacha (African salad) Amara prepared here, you will realize that you do not know how to cook. Amara has challenged you.
Chikaity! True or false? [Chika responded, “True Sir!”] What can you say concerning jollof rice? What can we say about that one? I know that if you remember that one, you will not go home again.
So far so good. We will know whether the offspring of a snake will be long. Are you hearing what I am saying? The product of a snake must be long
You must come to a point where they will know you to be a member of thisFamily. Whatever you do, in words or in deeds, people will know that you have been with The Son of Man’s Family. You have been there. You should be one who withoutbeing there, people will say, “That is the son’ or “That is the daughter.”
Go out there to this street and make enquiry. If nobody told them that I am not the father of Chika biologically, nobody will know. Nobody will believe it because one thing with this Family is this:
The Presence of God here that is your covering that will keep on transforming you, refining, reforming, restoring, reconciling and restructuring you [if possible] to the extent that when people see you, they will find it difficult to recognize you. And they will be asking, “What is happening?”
Where we went the other day, were you the person that went with Me? That was where I wanted to pay for some items. Somebody who has been your customerover time could not even recognize you(Amarachi).
The woman said before Me, “It is your voice that I heard and then I began to recognize you. So Amarachi, you are the one here.” I said, “Madam!Do not worry. We are transferring her services to you.”
This is what God does. We keep on blending and blending and blending until when people see you, they will not differentiate between you and other members of the Family.
If Clifford is moving on the way with Wisdom, people can hardly notice that they are not from even the same state. But it was not so before. Why? Character blends. I say character blends.
When you begin to delight yourself in the things of God, everything in you will be tilting towards God because the stimuli, the light dictates the direction of the growing plumule of a plant.
If you plant a crop inside this house now, allow it to germinate. Whichever direction the plant faces or tilts towards, that is where the light radiates. Did you get the Message?
Wherever your eyes are focused is the source and determinant of your character and lifestyle. Any spirit you yield yourself to, is the one that will possess you And it dictates what your attitude to life, your character and everything must be. True or false?
So, if you know where your eyes and your heart desires are focused, that is what affects your character. If you delight yourself in the things of God, automatically that becomes your stimuli.
….He decided then to make us holy in His eyes, without a single fault—…..Without what? A single fault. …we who stand before Him covered with His love.
^[5]His unchanging plan,… Note! You are standing before Him covered with His love. Now, His unchanging plan –The Unchanging Essence Of God – His unchanging plan for you just like we sing, the thoughts He has towards us are the thoughts of good and not ofevil to give us, not the better, but the best of the end, for whatever God does is greatest for He is the greatest. God is not great. God is the greatest [Allahu Akbar!].
His unchanging plan, unless you decide to exclude yourself. You can exclude yourself from God’s unchanging plan, for God changeth not.
You have the right to say, “Whether you change or you do not change, I am backing out. Let me live my life the way I want.” Then you are living for the devil, not knowing it.
^[5]His unchanging plan has always been,…It has always been and will ever remain, for whatever God does, the Bible said is eternal. It is everlasting. Nothing can be added nor subtracted. Why? He is the Eternal God.
^[5]His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own Family…..His unchanging plan has always been to do what? Adopt us into His own very Family.
Stop there! Do not read again.Do not read again. The more I read, the more I will abandon what is here.
I have not gone through this Message. I got it from Lagos, but I want us to use it as Sunday School. Whatever I have spoken so far is by way of opening your eyes of understanding to see the wonderful provisions the Almighty God had already made for all of us which the rebellious and the disobedient have not discovered.
If you have discovered these wonderful provisions; these irrevocable provisions God made, for which cause He allowed you; He, Himself brought you to live with Him, nobody will tell you to live to please Him that has called you to glory and to honour.
For God has called all of us to glory and to honour and to share with Him in His inheritance. Is it not Scripture?
Reference: [1] 2 Peter 1:3. For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue). AMP
[2] Hebrews 3:14.¹⁴For we have become fellows with Christ (the Messiah) and share in all He has for us, if only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation [in virtue of which we are believers] firm and unshaken to the end. AMP
When you are called to come and share with God in His inheritance and to share His heritage, is it not the greatest? I mean, it is the greatest glory any man can be crowned with, that I am sharing with God all the things that make Him God? Not minus. Not plus.
So, I invite our Pastor to the pulpit to use that excerpt there as our Sunday School. I believe something must be there for us.
