Transcribed by Deacon Sunday Chukwu The Household of God at Nsukka, Enugu State

¹I 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

A CALL TO GLORY Short exhortation cont’d

BY Apostle Ugonna The Household of God Lagos, Nigeria

MODERATED BY THE SON OF MAN Apostle Peter Odoemena

I AM THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN. This is as clear as the day, because in Me dwelleth the fullness of the Elohim bodily. You are not seeing HIM, but you are seeing Me and I am seeing HIM. If I say I will not try it for God’s sake, that is the Man I am calling that is dwelling in Me. And you say you will not do it for the sake of the Son of Man, I am THE SON OF MAN; I am the very Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah, the Saviour.

ASK IN MY NAME, AND I WILL DO IT

MODERATED BY THE SON OF MAN

Let all the world look to me for salvation! for I am God; there is no other. I have sworn by Myself and I will never go back on My Word, for it is true – that every knee in all the world should bow to Me, and every tongue shall swear allegiance to My Name.” [Isaiah 45:22-23, Living Bible]

“So turn to me and be helped – saved! – everyone, whOever, whERever you arE. I am God, The only God there is, The one and only. I promise in My Own Name: Every Word out of My Mouth does what it says. I never take back what I say. Everyone is going to end up kneeling before Me. [Isaiah 45: 22-23, The Message Bible]
Accordingly, He that proclaimed these Words ages ago has finally arrived to live among us. What?
Accordingly, He that proclaimed these Words ages ago has finally arrived to live among us. That was why Prophet William Marion Branham admonished people to quit being frustrated and wondering about God in his sermon many years ago.
“Quit being frustrated and wondering about, you will never be any closer until you meet Him face to face. Why? Remember in the Bible, thus says the Holy Spirit, He is in your midst. How can you doubt? He is proved that His presence is here.” [Prophet William Marion Branham, From That Time, 2nd March, 1960]
Has He not proved His presence among us? He has. Several times and unquestionably too. The Face of God is the Face of Apostle Peter Odoemena, the very Son of Man (Blessed be His Holy Name).
Why? Water or liquid and every other thing, once it is liquid, it takes the shape of the container once it solidifies.
The Face of God is the Face of Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man (Blessed be His Holy Name).
From the beginning, God has decided all those that will heed the Last Trumpet Call and be conformed to the image of The Son of Man. Follow me gradually.
“For those whom He foreknew, of whom he was aware, and loved beforehand, he also destined from the beginning, foreordaining them to be molded into the image of His Son and share inwardly his likeness that he might become the first born among many brethren.
And those whom he thus foreordained, he also called. And those whom he called, he also justified, acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself. And those whom he justified, he also glorified, raising them to heavenly dignity and condition or state of being.”
Do you know why Federal Government is still holding Nnamdi Kanu? The Federal Government said he was discharged, but not acquitted. You can be discharged but not acquitted.
But watch what God did to you and I. He discharged and acquitted us so that we will not come under condemnation again.
Why? By believing in Him whom He has sent in your own day in Him is your hope of eternal life.
Why? For God dwells in Him without measure. He is the express Image of the invisible God. In Him is the Father revealed. The Father you are praying to, the Father you go about looking for and things like that, is in Him. Do we believe this to be true?
Turn with Me to the Bible. Let us compare scriptures. Saint John’s Gospel Chapter 16, from verse 24 and Saint John’s Gospel 14, from verse 13. Let’s go through them again. Get Living Bible and also get Amplified.
John 16:24-31. Living Bible, “²⁴You haven’t tried this before [but begin now]. Ask using my name and you will receive and your cup of joy will overflow.”
He said, “You have not tried it before.” He was talking to them. Again.
“²⁴You haven’t tried this before [but begin now]. Ask using my Name and you will receive and your cup of joy will overflow.”
²⁵I have spoken of these matters very guardedly, but the time will come when this will not be necessary and I will tell you plainly all about the Father.”
The time will come when I will no longer over flog this matter, for it will be unnecessary. It will be unnecessary over flogging an issue that is well set before you.
“²⁶THEN YOU WILL PRESENT YOUR PETITIONS OVER MY SIGNATURE!” You will do what? “²⁶THEN YOU WILL PRESENT YOUR PETITIONS OVER MY SIGNATURE!” Is anything wrong with us? Is anything wrong with us?
“²⁶THEN YOU WILL PRESENT YOUR PETITION OVER MY SIGNATURE AND I WON’T NEED TO ASK THE FATHER TO GRANT YOU THESE REQUESTS;
²⁷for the Father Himself loves you dearly because you love Me and believe that I came from the Father. ²⁸Yes, I came from the Father into the world and will leave the world and return to the Father.
“²⁹At last you are speaking plainly,” his disciples said, “and not in riddles.” ³⁰Now we understand that you know everything and don’t need anyone to tell you anything. From this, we believe that you came from God.
“³¹Do you finally believe this?” Jesus asked. But the time is coming-in fact, it is here-when you will be scattered, each one returning to his own home, leaving me alone.“
John 14:13, Living Bible. “^12-13In solemn truth I tell you, anyone believing in me shall do the same miracle I have done and even greater ones because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask him for anything using my name and I will do it.“
Look at it! “And I.” You ask the Father using My Name, instead of the Father doing it, I will do it. So, I am here with you but you rely on the Father? Go up and come down, the only thing you will be told is, “Look at Him here.”
You receive nothing from the Father without the Son. You receive nothing from the Son without the Father, for the two are one. True or false? True or false?
You still want to see the Father? Believe in Me, believe also in My Father. If you say you believe in my Father, but you do not believe in Me, you have not even believed, for you cannot see the Father without Me. In Me is My Father revealed. Do you believe it? True or false?
Go to the Gospel according to Saint John 8:26-32, Living Bible. “²⁶I could condemn you for much and teach you much; but I won’t, for I say only what I am told to by the one who sent me, and He is Truth” ²⁷But they still didn’t understand that he was talking to them about God.
“²⁸So Jesus said, “When you have killed the Messiah, then you will realize that I am He and that I have not been telling you my own ideas, but have spoken what the Father taught me.
²⁹And he who sent me is with me- he has not deserted me- for I always do those things that are pleasing to him.”
“^30-31Then many of the Jewish leaders who heard him say these things began believing him to be the Messiah.” They began believing him!
“Jesus said to them, “You are truly my disciples if you live as I tell you to.” You are truly what? My disciples if you live, conduct your lives as I command you, as I tell you to do. Yes!
“³²And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”
John Chapter 7, from verse 25, “²⁵Some of the people who lived there in Jerusalem said among themselves, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?”
So, He was a human being! Is this not the man they are trying to kill, calling him a heretic?
“But here He is preaching in public, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that our leaders have learned, after all, that He really is the Messiah?”
Is there anybody who has not understood this matter? Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.
There is nothing you will go out there to preach in the streets now for which cause they will persecute you because I have won the battle. I have defeated the anti-Christ.
The highest thing they can do is to ignore you and go their way. Nobody can stretch his hands against you for speaking this truth. Why? I have won the battle.
But before now, open your mouth to preach against any denomination, you will run away from that street. They will make sure you pack away from that street. And that is if they do not even kill you instantly there.
Who is withholding their hands? [Pastor Chizoba responded, “You are the One”] Thank you!
Can you imagine where a papal knight has changed his professions and songs, and is now calling a Man “My God” while standing firmly on his two feet by revelation, even saying it before you and I that he knows that they are in the wrong.
And the wife confirmed it to be truth, asking whether there is anybody who does not know that all they are doing there, everything they are doing there is nothing but scam, defrauding people.
She insisted, “In short, let me tell you the truth. The reason why I am still there is because that is where I have all my investments.”
A papal knight! Knight of St. Gregory and Knight of St. Mulumba. Look at him here. Were you not the one that went with Me? We heard from him. [Referring to Pastor Chizoba who concurred immediately]
You know, there is a type of testimony we will give and somebody might be thinking that it is aimed at winning him or her over. Are we trying to win you for what purpose? Who are you? Of what value are you, even when we are excommunicating people from our midst?
Those that are in the Ministry are being excommunicated, and you think that you are being invited. Who are you?
If you know the value of eternal life, nobody will tell you what to do.
John 7 from verse 25. “²⁵Some of the people who live there in Jerusalem said among themselves, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill? ²⁶But here he is preaching in public, and they say nothing to Him.
Can it be that our leaders have learned, after all, that He really is the Messiah?”
²⁷But how could He be? For we know where this man was born; when Christ comes, He will just appear and no one will know where he comes from.”
^[28]So Jesus in a sermon in the temple called out, “Yes, you know me and where I was born and raised, but I am the representative of One you don’t know.”
I am what? “…the representative of One you don’t know and he is truTH.”
And this is the One. Have you ever seen Him elsewhere? Have you ever heard it with your ears that that there is another place where He is? Israel does not see the Cloud anymore until He said, “If I remember again, I will visit.
Just like I am preparing to go on leave now. I hope you all know where I will go for the leave. Then, they will shout and rejoice again saying, “The Cloud has returned to us o! Permanent! Permanent! Permanent!””
They know that I am on My way. I am on My way to the Promised land. They know that.
… I am the representative of one you don’t know and he is truth. ²⁹I know Him because I was with Him, and He sent me to you.”
The other one said, “He that sent Me is still with Me. My Father has not departed from Me. I do those things that please Him.” With all those things they were seeing, many of the Jews that believed in Him joined their hearts together saying, “Is there any other Messiah we need? Are you still looking for another Messiah?”
There is something the Prophet said concerning your Bible. He said, “He will be here in human form in the last days in the midst of the Bride. The Scriptures will declare who He is.”
For when He comes, He must read all the Scriptures written concerning Him and the Almighty God will vindicate Him with supernatural vindications.
Anybody can read the Bible like others, but it takes God to confirm who the right fellow is. Is it not one person we are looking for?
He gave us a Sign that will enable us identify Him. When they saw the Sign, every Elect clustered, for wherever the carcass is, there the eagles shall gather.
“Then the Jewish leaders sought to arrest him; but no hand was laid on him, for God’s time had not yet come.” [John 7 vs 25 – 30 Living Bible.]

But tell Me, if I will deceive you, what will I gain? Absolutely nothing. By this Message even, am I trying to make Myself popular? Never! For this type of Message can never make a man popular. Rather, it will cause people to avoid him. It attracts all manner of criticism. It even attracts persecution and cruel misunderstanding. Yet, I am undaunted, immovable, for I know Who I am. Forget about My simplicity. It is My nature.

BRIDAL WATCH (NO PLACE TO HIDE) VOL. 6; Preached on Sunday 24^th April, 2016 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 54 vs. 42 – 43

GOD’S NATURE IS YOUR TICKET TO PARADISE

Moderated by the son of man

From the beginning, God has decided all those that will heed the last trumpet call and be conformed to the image of the Son of Man. Follow me gradually.

“²⁹For those whom He foreknew, [of whom he was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of his Son [and share inwardly his likeness], that might become the firstborn among many brethren.
³⁰And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called and those whom he called, he also justified [acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself].
Who made them righteous? God! So they are righteous in His own eyes. If God calls me righteous, whatever you like call me, that one concerns you. Is that not true? This is because He is the one that made me righteous. He discharged me. He acquitted me. He made me righteous.
So, I am not standing on my righteousness. I am standing on God’s own righteousness which is my faith, simply because I have believed in him.
“³⁰And those whom he thus foreordained, he also called; and those whom he called he also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself).
And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to A heavenly dignity and condition or state of being]. [Romans 8:29-30, Amplified.]
For clearer understanding follow me to the Message Bible; the same verse. “God knew what He was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love Him along the same line as the life of His Son. The Son stands first in line of humanity He restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives therein in him.”
We see the original and intended shape of our lives in Him. So, He becomes a practical example of all that will live with Him eternally. If you do not have My nature, how can I dwell with you? Is there any other thing causing the quarrel?
The moment I am free with you here, I rejoice having you around Me, is there any other thing that I have seen in you if not My nature? It is My nature that I am seeing in you that has attracted Me to you.
I am the Super Magnet. I cannot magnet anything that does not have My attribute. True or false?
Let that iron filing be hidden under the sand. Use sand to cover iron filings. You know what iron filings are? The tiniest particles that fall off while using heat, electricity or oxygen to cut iron or to do iron work.
Once heat is involved that will cut that iron, filings must fall out. You cannot even pick them with your hand. Do you know that with the help of magnet you can separate iron filings from ordinary sand perfectly? Nothing will mingle with iron filing.
The same way we separate Mercury – liquid metal. If Mercury is poured on the ground amidst sand, it breaks into pebbles like bearings.
Do you not know what Mercury is all about? Pour it on the ground, it breaks into pieces; into small, small balls. If you try to use your hand to take one, it is like water. It splits into pieces.
What do you use in picking all of them stainless? Bring Magnet. Magnet will pick all. That is why we call it liquid metal.
But no matter how fanciful or how beautiful plastic looks, magnet will say, ‘No!’ Magnet will say, ‘No! This does not have my attribute.’
That is what God is saying. Let that particular iron rust and be very rough in appearance. Do you not see or come across a rusty nail that looks ugly in appearance? But just place the iron there. It will pick it immediately.
Another magnetic force that is still worthy of note is that the iron will magnet one pin, and the rest of the pins will line behind that one until they form a very long chain unless somebody breaks it.
The moment you detach that one from the magnet, you have detached all. They fall into pieces. Did you get the Message?
The same WAY, WHEN Christ is lifted, all that belong to Christ [the first fruit] perch. All the righteous descendants of the first fruit will line up. Why? They have the attribute of the Godhead. Did you get the Message?
In Me, forget about over-familiarity. Nobody can be over-familiar with God, except a fool. God is the Omniscient [All-knowing and mysterious]. You know everything, but do you know what I have in My mind now? Do you know what I want to do the next moment?
I can know your own and tell you about your own, and tell you to go and do it quickly or halt you from doing it, but you do you know My own? Even if I want to destroy you now, you will not know.
I can stay here while you are talking and travel out and come back many, many times. I visit anywhere I want to visit and still be talking to you.
Since you say you know Me, how do you know Me? What is the basis of your knowledge of Who I am? The more you know, the more you discover that you have not started. Is it a lie Brethren?
At that time when you are thinking that you have known Who God is, if God wants to stumble you, He knows what He will do to stumble you out straight away, and then continue His journey, for He does not want you.
This analogy of this Godhead, it takes only but One man to stick to the Godhead. The power that is in the Godhead is automatically transmitted to that One.
That is the magnetic power transferred to this. Then all that will join that One, the same magnetic power will overflow down the line.
If you keep on rolling that magnet on the ground, all of them will be rolling. If you negotiate a bend, they will negotiate. I want you to go and demonstrate it using office pins and a magnet.
This will help you to know what God is saying about your relationship with the Son of Man, why the Son of Man is sent, and why God’s nature should be your express ticket, for if you do not have that nature and you do not have the attributes, there is no way you can be magneted.
All your dealings with Him will end in the flesh. Carnal dealings with Him just like other heathens. But in the end, He will denounce you and say, “Leave My presence. You are not My material. When I stretched My Hand towards you, you refused it. What else do you want from Me?”
Just like the illustration I gave in the beginning about how Chiamaka was calling Me severally over the phone while they were at the gate. And the husband blowing the horn repeatedly.
Is this the only place they saw? Did they not see other places? Why did they not drive to another place and knock at the gate?
But let another person do it because she did it. “I have seen someone that drove into your compound. After all, I bear His Name.” Then come and try. Drive into the compound the way they did. What you will hear is, “About turn! I do not have time for you. In short, I do not know you.”
Does Promise not come here? But does he enter the compound? Do you not see where he normally sits down around the edge of the gutter, placing his legs in the gutter like a drowning man? When He sees anybody from the compound, He will send a message through that person. After a while, he will write a text message to the Pastor or call him.
Why? The door is locked. Does Chiemelie not come here? One of you will be sent to the gate there, “Find out from him why he came.” When he tells you the reason for his coming, you will say, “Okay! I will tell Daddy what you said, for Daddy said that as long as He lives, you will not cross this gate.” He (Chiemelie) said that he knows. The mum came, heard her own and went back to tell him.
Let Me tell you the truth. Any day this gate is locked against you, that is the day the gate of Paradise is locked against you. I have said it so that you will understand it. Any day this gate is locked against you, the gate of Paradise is locked against you.
Then think about those whose sacrifices have been rejected along with everything about them? What is their hope again in this life?
Have you seen why you that has been given the ticket should make sure that you do not allow water to spoil your own ticket? You have TO rigorously protect it against loss. Hold it tightly.
“God knew what He was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the life of those who love Him along the same line as the life of His Son. The Son stands first in line of humanity He restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in Him.”
Hence, His Son has been placed as our Masterpiece. The Second Adam has come to undo the error of the First Adam. He is now God’s standard for judgement.
“After God made that decision of what His children should be like, He followed it up by calling people by name.”
Known unto God are all His works from the foundation of the Earth. He knows His children by name and their dwelling places all over the world. Thus, when God wanted to save the Ethiopian Eunuch, He directed Philip His chosen vessel to his location.
“²⁶But as for Philip, an Angel of the Lord said to him, “Go over to the road that runs from Jerusalem through the Gaza desert, arriving around noon.” ²⁷So he did, and who should be coming down the road but the Treasurer of Ethiopia, a Eunuch of great authority under Candace the Queen.
He had gone to Jerusalem to worship at the Temple, ²⁸and was now returning in his chariot, reading aloud from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. ²⁹The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the chariot.”
³⁰Philip ran over and heard what he was reading and asked, “Do you understand it?” “³¹Of course not!” the man replied. “How can I when there is no one to instruct me?” And he begged Philip to come up into the chariot and sit with him.
³²The passage of the scripture he had been reading from was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter and as a lamb is silent before the shearers, so he opened not his mouth; ³³In humiliation, justice was denied him; and who can express the wickedness of the people of his generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
³⁴The Eunuch asked Philip, “Was Isaiah talking about himself or someone else?” ³⁵So Philip began with this same scripture, and then used many others to tell him about Jesus.
³⁶As they rode along, they came to a small body of water, and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! Why can’t I be baptized?” “³⁷You can”, Philip answered, “if you believe with all your heart.”
And the Eunuch replied, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” ³⁸He stopped the chariot, and they went down into the water and Philip baptized him. ³⁹And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch never saw him again, but went on his way rejoicing.” [Act 8:26-39 Living Bible].
Also when God wanted to save Cornelius through Peter, He initiated the move. Hear Cornelius testimony.
“Cornelius said, “Four days ago at about this time, mid-afternoon, I was home praying. Suddenly, there was a man right in front of me,”
I was at home praying, not talking, and not sleeping.
“… suddenly there was a man right in front of me, flooding the room with light. He said, “Cornelius, your daily prayers and neighbourly acts have brought you to God’s attention.”
Your what!? “….Your daily prayers and neighbourly acts have brought you to God’s attention”
Your what!? “….Your daily prayers and neighbourly acts have brought you to God’s attention.” Did he say “Your studying the Bible”? Okay o!
“I want you to send to Joppa, to get Simon, the one they call Peter. He is staying with Simon the Tanner down by the sea.” So I did it-I sent for you. And you have been good enough to come. And now we are all here in God’s presence, ready to listen to whatever the Master put in your heart to tell us” Sure!!! [Acts 10:30-33 The Message Bible]
Their hearts were made ready.
In the same vein, God wanted to save Lydia. He forbade Paul and Silas from going to the Turkish province and then Bithynia, but rather rerouted them to Macedonia.
“Next, they traveled through Phrygia and Galatia, because the Holy Spirit had told them not to go into the Turkish province of Asia Minor at that time. ⁷Then going along the borders of Mysia they headed North for the province of Bithynia, but again the Spirit of Jesus said no.
⁸So, instead they went on through Mysia province to the city of Troas. ⁹That night, Paul had a vision. In his dream, he saw a man over in Macedonia, Greece, pleading with him,” Come over here and help us.”
¹²And finally reached Philippi, a Roman colony just inside the Macedonian border, and stayed there several days. ¹³On the Sabbath, we went a little way outside the city to a river bank where we understood some people met for prayer; and we taught the Scriptures to some women who came.
¹⁴One of them was Lydia, a saleswoman from Thyatira, a merchant of purple cloth. Chiamaka! She was already a worshipper of God and, as she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart and she accepted all that Paul was saying. [Acts 16:6-9; 12-14, Living Bible]
God used a man to initiate it. And He completed the task. See the conversion of the woman – a merchant – a saleswoman who sells clothings. I will show you the cloth of many colours. You will see the cloth of many colours as we have today.
Why I said that the best occupation for a woman is how to sew dresses. Any woman that has the privilege should go and learn it. If you do not use it for commercial purpose, you use it for domestic purpose to run your family.
Before now, when somebody is newly married, the first thing parents will give her will be sewing machine to be using it to make small small things concerning herself and the children, but not for commercial purpose.
Do you not see that of Mama Ikebude? Always there. Was that not what Dorcas was using for mending the clothings of the Apostles? Is it not?
So, every woman is supposed to learn how to sew clothes, but not learning how to sew stylish [outlandish] cloths. No! But if you learn how to sew good looking styles, it is okay. First of all, learn how to mend your clothes and that of your children.
And not a situation where every day, you will be looking for a itinerant local tailor [popularly called “Onye obioma” – meaning a kind-hearted one] who mends people’s clothes. Now, there are no kind-hearted people any longer. What we have are wicked and evil-hearted people. This is true!
They were called “Ndi obioma” (kind-hearted people) when Igbos were doing it (cloth mending). Those doing it now are mainly Hausas.
Let Me tell you. Before now, the Igbos were the people that were doing that thing; mending of clothes, shoes and all these things. But gradually they shifted away from it and surrendered it to the Hausas. They are not merely Hausas. They are Fulanis. They are the people we see everywhere.
Every woman should know how to patch and how to mend the children’s dresses, her own and even that of her husband. I am telling you the truth.
It is not because My late mother was a professional seamstress. Yet, a merchant, selling dresses.
You people are here looking at Me; I am saying that you should go and learn how to sew. That is what I am saying.
Chynne (Sister Chiamaka Odoemena) can now make anyone. Is it a lie? There is no design Chynne cannot make. Ebube can make all designs. Ebube can draw, cut and sew.
Only Nnee and Ijee. Ijeoma [Sister Jonathan] can sew very very well. She equally has her own machine. Ijeoma can design and do everything. She even has her own. Ijeoma can design and then do everything. She can sew this type you people wear. She can sew flare. It is only Nnee [Sister Onyedika Rotimi] that I do not know whether her husband got her a sewing machine.
So you should learn how to sew. When you people did skill acquisition, what did you people learn? Chiamaka, you went there and learnt hair dressing.
Which one did you do? [referring to Sister Amarachi] Shoe making? [She responded, “No sir. I learnt Design. Gele [Headgear] design, Adire and Kampala.]
That is because you studied in the West. Do you intend to go for Adire exhibition? Do you attend the one that is organized in Lagos? Do we wear Adire here? Even if she brings it down here, we would not wear it because it is thick. It is difficult to be put on. Only Yorubas wear it. So that their buttocks will look big, while dancing their kind of dance while standing in one place.

¹Verily We have granted thee a manifest Victory: ²That Allah may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow; fulfill His favour to thee; and guide thee on the Straight Way; ³And that Allah may help thee with powerful help. ⁴It is He Who sent down Tranquillity into the hearts of the Believers, that they may add faith to their faith; -for to Allah belong the Forces of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom; – ⁵That He may admit the men and women who believe, to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye, and remove their ills from them; – and that is, in the sight of Allah, the highest achievement (for man)

The Holy Qaur’an: Surah 48:1-5

Abdullah Yusuf Ali Translation

THE LORD IS HANDPICKING HIS CHILDREN

MODERATED BY THE SON OF MAN

Can you see God doing the handpicking? Adding to the church as many as He wanted to be saved, the same way He picked those that will be saved in this dispensation.

“Constantly praising God and being in favour and goodwill with all people; and the Lord kept adding [to their number] daily those who were being saved [from spiritual death].” [Acts 2:47, Amplified version]
The eternal Gospel must be preached to the ends of Earth, backed up with the power of the Holy Ghost.
[The LORD referring to Chiamaka] See Me after this Message. We will discuss about this Adire (tie-and-dye designs). You can make it. Buy white materials and begin to do the dyeing. Is that not what we are talking about. Different types of flowers. Camouflage. Is that not what we are talking about?
You can do it. Package it and then display it in the market. If you go to Main market, there are many of such designs there. Young ladies use a lot of such designs in sewing their clothes. You will also see modern ones that are made with good materials. Are you hearing what I am saying?
“But you shall receive power, (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you Shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the Earth.” [Acts 1:8 Amplified version]
He has the data of all His children that have appeared on this Earth. Also, He knows how to draw them to Himself. Remember, in the beginning, God said He will send a saving word to Adam and his descendants.
“God said to Adam, “I have ordained on this Earth days and years, and you and your descendants shall live and walk in them, until the days and years are fulfilled, when I shall send the word that created you.”
The Word that created you. In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word was God.
Revelation 13:19, “His Name is called the word of God.” That is the Creator. How? John 1:14, “The word became a human being.” John 1:3, “The Word created all things, visible and invisible. Without the Word, nothing was created.” John 1:12, “The Word was refused by the people it came to.” 1:14, “He became a human being.”
When I shall send the Word that created you, and against which you have transgressed. The Word that made you come out of the garden and that raised you when you were falling. Yes, the Word that will again save you when the six days are fulfilled.
Then God in His mercy for Adam who was made after His own image and likeness, explained to Him that these were six thousand years and how one would then come and save Him and His descendants.” [From THE BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE Vol. 1, Chapter 3 verses 1, 2 & 6]
This dovetails perfectly with what Prophet William Branham said about a coming One with a Message.
“So, I have watched for something. Has it slipped by us in humility and we have missed it? Is it gone and the church is left in her sins? If that be so, then it is later than you think. If not, then there is coming One with a Message that is straight on the Bible and quick work will circle the Earth.
The seed will go in newspaper, reading materials, until every predestinated seed of God has heard it.
None of them will come unless the Father has drawn them, and everyone the Father has drawn will hear the Word. Then when that takes place…’’
If the Father has not drawn you, the Word will be sounding like thunder to your ears. He will not give you listening ear. He will make it impossible for you to show understanding of the WORD so that you will perish.
That is how you will know that God really called you. You cannot resist it. That is one. Two, you will understand perfectly everything. You will show interest. You will show good understanding.
But if the Lord never called you, He will make it impossible for you to understand. Even for you to hear, your ears will be blocked.
Bible said that their ears are blocked that they might be devoid of understanding. If you are telling him one thing, he will be saying another thing, to show you that the person is finished.
Reference: Matthew 13:14-15. ¹⁴And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: ¹⁵for this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. KJV
FearGod! You see what you must watch out for? Good! Not when I mention Bible, you go inside and bring Me carton. When I want carton, you will go inside and bring Me pot. Good.
“And everyone the Father has drawn will hear the Word. Then when that takes place, it will be gathering together and Jesus shall appear and there will go the church from all over the earth, like that with the resurrection going up.” [COD. 2 Page 728, Paragraph 179 through 180].
“When our Qaim, [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] appears, Almighty Allah will provide means whereby even people living many miles away will be able to speak to, see and hear our Qaim from wherever they may be.” [Mu’jam Alhadith al-Imam al-Mahdi, Vol. 4 p. 57 and Bihar Vol.52 p.336]
“His Word has always been the magnet by which He pulls His children to Himself. So, after He called them by name, He sets them on a solid basis with Himself.”
Yes! After calling them, He placed them in right standing with Himself because through our belief in the redemption work of the Christ of our day, we are justified.
“And what a difference between man’s sin and God’s forgiveness! For this one man, Adam, brought death to many through his sin. But this one man, Jesus Christ, brought forgiveness to many through God’s mercy. Adam’s one sin brought the penalty of death to many, while Christ freely takes away many sins and gives glorious life instead.” [Romans 5:15-16, Living Bible].
“And then after getting them established, He stayed with them to the end.” Yes! God does not have an uncompleted project.
“And I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in His grace until His task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ return.” [Philippians 1:6, Living Bible].
“[Not in your strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.” Philippians 2:13, Amplified version.
Brethren, is there truth there? The letter killeth. The Spirit giveth life. When you show good understanding, the letter becomes spirit.
Ezekiel said, immediately I heard His word, the Word entered into me and became the spirit dwelling in me.
Reference 1: 2^nd Corinthians 3:6, ‘Who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth but the spirit giveth life.’ KJV
Reference 2: Ezekiel 2:2, ‘And the spirit entered into me when He spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.’ KJV
“Hear Me very well. Fortunate, and to be envied is that person whom the Lord will help graciously till the end to become a partaker and a possessor of this eternal promise.”
“Blessed, happy, fortunate and to be envied is that person man or woman whom the Lord Almighty will count worthy to be helped and assisted graciously to become a partaker and possessor of this glorious supreme Promise which, to God Himself, will be His supreme achievement.” THUMB PRINTVol. 2; Preached on Sunday 10^th July, 2022 at the Voice of God Studio Bridal Lodge Nsugbe, Nigeria by The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena; Page 91 Verse 78 through 79.
“Gloriously completing what He had begun.” My prayer is to be assisted graciously till the end. The eternal purpose of this glorious Gospel is the restoration of the Bride’s nature and heavenly dignity we had in Adam before the fall.
Note, the transgression of the Word brought about the withdrawal of the Bride’s nature.
“Then Adam cried and said, “O God, when we lived in the Garden and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the Angels that sang praises in Heaven but now we can’t see like we used to. No. When we entered the cave, all creations became hidden from us.”
Then God, the Lord said to Adam, “When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you.”
When you were under subjection; when you were living the life of obedience to My Word, you were living in the Light. You had that bright nature. But immediately you disobeyed, darkness enveloped you.
“Then God, the Lord said to Adam, “When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you,” Sure! “and for that reason could you see things far away, but after your transgression, your bright nature was withdrawn from you,” sure! “and it was not left to you to see things far away,” At all! “but only near at hand, after the ability of the flesh. After what? … after the ability of the flesh. For it is brutish.” [the Book of Adam and Eve Vol. 1, Chapter 8 verses 1 through 2]
The ability of the flesh. No more discerning spirit. Very brutish! What he now sees are natural things. Temporary things! Today today. Tomorrow no more. Eat, drink, die and go away. The person can no longer foresee the future.
“Then God said to Adam, while you were under my command and were a bright Angel, you needed not this water.” [the Book of Adam and Eve, Vol. 1 Chapter 10 verse 5]
So, by transgression of the Word we fell in Adam, so also by believing His Saving Word (The Word made Flesh), all we lost, after the fall of Adam, will be restored. This is the Glory! A call to Glory! The is the Completeness of Salvation! Amen!

^[4]I will reject all selfishness and stay away from every evil. ^[5]I will not tolerate anyone who secretly slanders his neighbours; I will not permit conceit and pride. ^[6]I will make the godly of the land my heroes and invite them to my home. Only those who are truly good shall be my servants. ^[7]But I will not allow those who deceive and lie to stay in my house. ^[8]My daily task will be to ferret out criminals and free the city of God from their grip.

Psalms 101:4-8

Living Bible

THE LORD MUST FLUSH OUT ALL SOURCES OF OFFENCE

God said to Adam, “I have ordained on this Earth days and years, and you and your descendants shall live and work in them until the days and years are fulfilled.

When I shall send the Word that created you and against which you have transgressed, the Word that made you come out of the Garden and that raised you when you were fallen, yes, the Word that will again save you when the six days are fulfilled.”
The Word has been sojourning for many years now and within His predicted time frame. The Voice of The Son of Man, The Mighty Angel in our midst has been relentlessly teaching, rebuking, admonishing, churning out reading materials, calling on all men and women of goodwill all over the world to turn back to God, for now is the hour of judgment and time for harvest.
“I saw another Angel soaring in Middle – Heaven. He had an Eternal Message to preach to all who were still on Earth, every nation and tribe, every tongue and people.
He preached in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory! His hour of Judgment has come! Worship The Maker of Heaven and Earth, salt sea and fresh water!” [Rev 14:6-7, The Message Bible].
“For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a mighty shout” Who? “For the Lord Himself… Who? “For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a mighty shout…”
The Bible said that the second Adam came down from Heaven and is God Himself.
Reference: 1 Corinthians 15:47. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. KJV
And we are having One Who came and said that He is a heavenly Messenger because the Prophet had already foretold, “After me cometh no other but One who will come from the Presence of The Almighty.”
He said, “He is no other person, but the promised Messiah, the Bridegroom, the Saviour. Him shall you look up to. He is coming with a Message from the Presence of the Almighty God that will encircle the whole earth. It will go in periodicals. It will go in newspaper forms. Electronic media will carry it, until every predestinated elect of God will lay hand on it.
If it does not come to pass, know that the Lord never spoke to me. He is already here, but the human veil cannot allow people to see Him. I am an earthly Messenger. He is a heavenly Messenger.’
Reference: CONDUCT, ORDER AND DOCTRINE: A Series of Sermons by Prophet William Marrion Branham, BOOK 2 – QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS preached on Sunday 27th May 1962 at the Branham Tabernacle in Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA. So I’ve watched for something. Has it slipped by us in humility and we’ve missed it?
Is it gone and the church is left in her sin? If that be so, then it’s later than you think. If not, then THERE’S COMING ONE WITH A MESSAGE THAT’S STRAIGHT ON THE BIBLE, AND QUICK WORK WILL CIRCLE THE EARTH.
THE SEEDS WILL GO IN NEWSPAPERS, READING MATERIAL, UNTIL EVERY PREDESTINATED SEED OF GOD HAS HEARD IT. None of them will come unless the Father’s drawed them, and everyone the Father has drawed will hear it and come. THAT’LL BE THE PREDESTINATED SEED WILL HEAR THE WORD.
John was an earthly messenger forerunning the heavenly Messenger. William Braham became John the Baptist again to forerun the Second Advent of the same person; the Second Advent of the Second heavenly Messenger. True or false? Is it not there?
Then when He came, He said, “I am not preaching Malachi 4. It is now a mere story”, which means, it has come to pass.
Have you not read it? 1993! Introducing Himself, He said, “Do not put me there. I am not one that belong there. I am not a messenger of any of the Church Ages. I remain He that walked and is still walking in the midst of the Seven Candle Sticks.”
Nothing can be truer than the truth. After introducing Himself, The Elohim came and vindicated it. What else do you need?
The only thing you have to do is to, “Hear ye Him” and do that which He has commanded you to do and do it as He wants you to, knowing that you are meeting no other person than the same Person either in life or in death. In the hereafter which is eternity, it is the same person.
If because of blindness and stupidity you miss it here, you have missed it, especially now that we are on our way home.
The masquerade has performed Himself twice and even the third time. He is now on His way home. You are now the one meeting at this moment. Whoever that is coming now is coming late, meeting Him on His way home. He cannot stop.
You are the one to stop where you met Him. You then dance a little, spray Him money, and then turn and follow Him as He goes home. A sojourner is bound to go home one day. He is going. And nothing stops Him from going.
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a mighty shout and with the soul-stirring cry of the archangel and the great trumpet-call of God. And the believers who are dead will be the first to rise to meet the Lord.
Then we who are still alive and remain on earth will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in air and remain with forever.” [1^st Thessalonians 4 vs 16-17, Living Bible].
Message from The Son of Man said, “Some are believing as if He that is coming is being expected from somewhere. They do not know that He has come already, and He is with them. And the only thing they should wait for is the take off. Many have not seen that one.
Are you still expecting another saviour? Who are these people then? What has He come to do? Is He here for abracadabra? Even if God came for abracadabra, will He use people like you? So, if somebody wants to be popular and known everywhere, he will choose a people like you. Will He then come and hide inside the house, locking all the doors and even locking the gate?
Do you really ask yourselves questions at all? Who is this Man Who specializes in hiding Himself? And yet, in Him is what the world is clamouring for. Some travel long distances with commercial vehicles looking for Him. Some search for Him using lanterns.
And now, He has rounded off His program. The only thing left is the Voice that will resurrect the dead and translate our mortal flesh.
Is there any special voice? There is no other special voice. Do you think you will hear, “Come forth from the grave?” It is only one event which is where we are heading to every day. That is where everybody is running to.
“So live your life with fear and trembling. Let it be your guiding principle that God can terminate everything human activity in just a second without giving you any other notice.
Why? He has rounded off His program. Everything is finished. The Son of Man has fulfilled His commission from the beginning to the end. If there be anything left, tell me. The only thing that is left is My Voice.
That Voice that will cause the dead to resurrect is the Voice that will translate your mortal body.”
Have you heard it? Did He say it is another voice? M-Y. My Voice! My Voice is: waiting for the day He will be instructed to make the Announcement. Period. There is no other thing.
The greatest secret that is kept by The Almighty God which He cannot divulge is the day it will take place. The day and the hour. The particular time. There is nothing else left. That’s all. The mechanics are here. The Dynamics are here.
“The only thing that is left is My Voice. That Voice that will cause the dead to resurrect is the voice that will translate your mortal body, and that is the same spoken word that will destroy the whole world.” [IT IS ALL OVER; Preached on Wednesday, 31st December 2020 by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE VERY SON OF MAN].
Follow me to Matthew 13 vs 47-50, Amplified. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet which was cast into the sea and gathered in fish of every sort. When it was full, men dragged it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted out the good fish into baskets, but the worthless ones, they threw away. So it will be at the close and consummation of age.
The worthless ones. A worthless fellow in the House of God must be thrown away. Every worthless person in our midst must be thrown away. M-U- S-T.
Who is a worthless fellow? An unbeliever; a sinner. For the Bible said that a sinner is unprofitable in all things. That is a worthless fellow. He is not worthy to live. and he is not worthy to die. a half-baked bread. a half-baked bread. Partly child-of-God and partly devil must be thrown away.
Someone who is unprofitable. One unprofitable to God, unprofitable to your fellow human beings and even unprofitable to yourself. No no no!
The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God). And cast them [the wicked] into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth.”
The same Scripture from the Message Bible: “Or, God’s Kingdom is like a fishnet cast into the sea, catching all kinds of fish. When it is full, it is hauled onto the beach. The good fish are picked out and put in a tub; those unfit to eat are thrown away.
That’s how it will be when the curtain comes down on history. The angels will come and cull the bad fish and throw them in the garbage. There will be a lot of desperate complaining, [Oh!] but it won’t do any good.” [Sure!!!]
“Daddy, did I not do this. Daddy, I did this and that.” That one concerns you. That is your own cup of tea. You made yourself evil before Me. I tried to make you readjust so that we can dwell together, but you are holier than Me. So, there is no way. That is when you will know fully who The Son of Man is.
With the brightness of My Face which you have captured also, who can come nearer? Is there anybody who can approach what our Brother Kelechi Eze captured? Have you seen it? Have you seen it? Who can approach it?
That is how it was in the beginning. Whoever that was asked to go where He (The Son of Man) was, the person would refuse. And if [for any reason at all] your case was reported to Him, and for which cause you had to go and see the Son of Man, it was better you went home from there than go to The Son of Man.
It is better you turn back and go to your house than to decide to go to the place you were directed to go. “See where he is. Go there and tell Him”
Who will agree to go? Will you go to the same place where His wife and children were running away from? Ministers were running as fast as their legs could carry them. Then you have the mouth and the leg to go near.
If He had remained in that realm, would there have been anybody that will be left in this Faith? We would have all died.
But the Lord unveiled Himself. Grace made Him friendly. Everybody now saw Him in plain view. If you start running away from Him, He will tell you not to run away but “Come. For your sake have I came. I have not come for righteous people. I have come for people like you. People without any advocate. For your sake, I have come. Stop running away from Me.
Follow me to Matthew 13 vs 41, Amplified version. “The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of offence…….”
They will do gather what? “…they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of offence.”
All! Anybody in our midst that is a cause of offense or an object of provocation, they will gather all, wherever you may be. Once you are acquainted with this Faith, they will gather you together.
People of the same character must be placed where they belong to. The separation is going on. If you are a cause of offence, you know. If you are promoting happiness and promoting love among the brethren, you know. If you are causing disunity, you know.
“The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of offence; [persons by whom others are drawn into error or sin] and all who do iniquity and act wickedly,”
The fishnet is like the Gospel preached to the entire world, seeking for the righteous souls of men. However, wicked ones were hauled in too.
That is perfect truth!
Apostle Jude describes them as coming in through the side door. “For certain men have crept in stealthily, [gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago; ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace, (the spiritual blessing and favour) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah; the Anointed One).” Jude 1-4, Amplified Classic edition.
These are the mixed multitude that follow God’s children in every move; causes of offence. People that are living evil lives in spite of these glorious Messages.
The motto of my alma mater is: “To restore the dignity of man.” However, it failed in this noble objective till this day. The only education that can restore human dignity is God’s education courtesy of The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena (Blessed Be His Most Holy Name). A message that He has come with to raise us to heavenly dignity and make us unto our God, kings and priests.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5 verse 9 -10, KJV
Like the First Fruit of the Family of The Son of Man, Mummy Nzubechi Joy Odoemena is crowned Queen of Paradise, an epitome of a woman of dignity, so also as many that follow her foot steps will be men and women of dignity and reputation.
The nature of this Ministry demands integrity and translucence [the quality of being transparent].
“With promises like this to pull us on, dear friends, let’s make a clean break with everything that defiles or distracts us both within and without. Let’s make our entire lives fit and holy temples for the worship of God.” [The Message Bible, 2^nd Corinthians 7 verse 1.

You see, this generation has been judged and set aside. I am not striving to save anybody from the world. No! I am only striving to make sure that those that are already in the Ark are completely secured. That is My duty for now. It is not putting somebody in the Ark that matters; It is guaranteeing the security of the person till the end of the journey. It is not boarding the aeroplane that counts. It is landing safely at the approved destination. I told you that I am greater than the pilot in the aeroplane. The lives of millions of people worldwide are entrusted into My care. I do not say it so that you will begin to clap hands for Me.

THE SON OF MAN

BE PATIENT WITH GOD; Preached on Sunday 14^th December, 2014 at the Household of God, Port Harcourt; Pg 49 vs. 21 – 23

THIS IS THE PERIOD OF GLEANING

MODERATED BY THE SON OF MAN

There is a future glory and if we are intelligent, we should strive [as individuals] to be a great star.

“A place that was utterly in darkness, now received the light and became a light at the center whose illumination is going round the world just to take for himself a people he has foreordained that will dwell with him eternally.
At the end, I am going to make a separation, yes. After salvaging you, I will make a separation.
There must be a distinction between those that will dwell with the Son of Man and those that will dwell here on Earth.
All of them will have eternal life, but not all of them will dwell with Me. All the stars do not have the same glory. Is it not scriptural? The heavenly bodies, do they have the same glory?
There is the one Glory of the moon; another Glory of the star, but all of them have Glories, though one differs from another. But if you are intelligent, strive to be the great star; the shooting star.
Every shooting star is an angel. That is why you see them flying in the air and I told you, every star represents a human being.” [From The Message, THE HARVEST TIME; THANK YOU LORD, Volume 3, preached on Sunday 1^st August 2021 at the Voice of God Studio, Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria by The Lord God Almighty, page 100 verse 68-73 and 75-76].
Unfortunately, time has run out for everyone that falls into the worthless category. Hence, we are in a prophetic Ministry tied to time and at each stage of the Ministry, He announces where we are.
“The world has degenerated in evil so much that infants now are inclusive. Nobody is excluded in evil now.
So, The Lord cannot just come one morning like that, because of the wide spread evil, and set His Vineyard ablaze for fire to destroy the good and the evil. Can the Lord do that?
The Bible said, He knows how to protect the righteous; He severs the righteous before destroying the wicked.
So, THIS IS THE TIME OF HARVEST. There’s time for everything. There’s a time for planting, a time for weeding and a time for harvest. THIS IS HARVEST TIME.
THE LORD WILL, FIRST OF ALL, COLLECT HIS JEWELS LIKE A GOOD FARMER WILL COLLECT THE GOOD YAM TUBERS, MAIZE AND EVERYTHING, PUT THEM IN THE BAN FOR PROTECTION AND FOR REPRODUCTION. IS IT NOT TRUE?
THEN THE REST OF THE WEEDS AND THE OTHER CROPS THAT COULD NOT PRODUCE ANYTHING, [SURE!!!] THE GOOD FOR NOTHING CROPS, WILL BE REGARDED AS THE OFFENSIVE ONES AND THEN DESTROYED WITH THE WEEDS. DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT I AM SAYING?” HARVEST TIME, Vol. 1 page 54 verse 6 to 11.
Why did that crop not bear fruits like the other crops did. Is it that the farmer was not tending it very well, or that the soil did not favour it? Was this unproductive crop not planted in the same place where others were planted?
They benefitted from the same nutrients, for the nutrients that were made available for others was equally the same it received. The same teaching others received was exactly what this fellow received. Why did this crop not bear good fruits?
“So, take note of this; we sing it as a song that a human being is planted by God like a tree; a good tree. The tree that does not bear good fruit must be hewed down no matter who you are; whether it is you or I. If we do not bear good fruit expected of us, the Lord must surely hew us down.
God has detailed the harvesters, His angels to the four corners of the earth. This is the time of harvest. You will see what is going to happen between now and next year and that will show you that God has come really to harvest THE EARTH. THE EARTH IS RIPE FOR HARVEST.
If you say it is not ripe for harvest, tell Me. What can you expect from the world, from the earth, can it get better again?
Every day, things are getting worse. If God does not harvest the earth now for the sake of the elect, if He does not cut this period short, I bet you no flesh shall ever be saved.” HARVEST TIME, Vol. 1 page 106 verse 79-84.
“¹⁵And another angel came out of the temple sanctuary, calling with a mighty voice to Him Who was sitting upon the cloud, Put in Your scythe [sickle] and reap, for the hour has arrived to gather the harvest, for the earth’s crop is fully ripened.”
The Calendar for the year 2022 was themed: ‘Harvest Time.’ Accordingly, what has The Son of Man been doing these past days? If you are spiritual, you will notice that He is rounding off His program by sorting the good fish into His basket and throwing away the worthless ones.
Now He has started gleaning the farm. He is doing gleaning. He is doing a second look into the farm land to know if peradventure there are some good products or fruits, crops that were left due to oversight. I hope you are hearing Me?
After every election, when votes are cast, the votes will be counted. After counting the votes, the results are not yet announced. There will also be another re-examination, a recount of the total number of votes cast. That is what we call scrutinization.
Votes will be scrutinized. During the scrutinization of the votes, the tendency is there that there may be some that might be detected that contain double thumb prints. All of those votes that were cast that had double thumb prints [that is, thumb printing for two aspirants at the same time], they must be disqualified.
You cannot thumb print for APC and PDP. For presidential candidate, you thumb print, for example for Mr. Peter Obi and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. It is disqualified. And too many voters ignorantly do this.
That is why counting differs from scrutinizing the votes cast. After scrutinization, the next thing is evaluation. After evaluation, it goes to validation. From validation announcement is made. The result is announced by the returning officer, for validation is the final point.
During evaluation, all representatives of the political parties will be there, and then append their various signatures to the result that had already been counted, scrutinized and then evaluated. Then validation.
Once it is stamped “okayed” by the returning officer, it is deemed to have been validated. What validates? His signature confirming that it was the total number of eligible votes and that all of them were valid. He appends his signature.
That is why if there be any post-election problems that will lead to litigation, he will be number one that will be joined in the litigation, for his signature has made the result authentic. Then it goes to the one who is vested with the authority to make it public. Because they have been entered.
What we are doing right now is gleaning. We want to make sure no matter how feeble that thing called a human being is, provided there is germ of life in it, setting it ablaze will be the height of injustice. Do you not know that we are serving a merciful God?
I show you one example. If you peel off a part of a yam tuber that contains a gem of life, keep it in a place where it will receive all the weather conditions that will help that seed of life to germinate, you will see that little thing you peeled off coming up with a plumule. Why? It contains a gem of life.
When you clear your farm land preparatory for the next season, no matter how you cleared it, set it ablaze, carried away the rubbish and so on, if rain falls on that empty land once or twice, few days after, any leftover of the yam tuber in the ground that survived the burning of that ground must sprout. Did you get the Message?
It is not applicable to yam tuber alone. Other crops are involved. These are previously planted crops that survived, but which were completely over sighted during harvest.
That is why God does not want to be guilty of over sighting any being that has the gem of life. I do not care whatever might be the person’s disposition here now. I know that the gem of God is in that person. If preserved, it must be something more than what you think. Even if it is sowed in corruption, it must come up incorruptible. Do you believe that? Do you believe that?
Use your yam tuber for example; slice it and plant it in the soil. During harvest, go there and harvest it. You will not harvest anything sliced, but whole yam. It was planted in a sliced form. Because it contained gem of life, it sprang up and produced fruits for harvest.
During harvest, you just harvest it full. It might be one. You planted it single. But during harvest, you may get up to three or four. True or false? Okay.
God knows what He is doing. I am not delaying Myself. I am too compassionate to forfeit a soul that is committed into my hands for salvation. That is what I am doing.
I am not such a foolish messenger that will hear, “Destroy”, and I will destroy; “Cut down”, and I cut down. I will have a second look on that tree before I will hew it down.
So, I am once again gleaning the farm from where I have done enormous harvest of the products. I use My farm implement even to pulverize some mounds that I am suspecting to be containing something inside.
This is because during harvest, you will see some mounds without any sign of a stick outside, but when you open it, you may be surprised that a very big yam tuber is there fresh. Maybe in the process of clearing the farmland, you cut off the stock and that mound will be looking as if nothing is inside it.
You can use your leg to destroy the mound only to see one, two or three yam tubers, all coming out and looking fresh. Am I making sense? I am using natural things to type spiritual.
So, I am still having a second look in the farm I have already harvested by marking all that are fit for the Kingdom.
And I told you, anyone that is not fit, I will equally mark that one for destruction. I will show you he is not fit by shooting him up through circumstance. The moment he is projected, I will mark him bad and ask him to sit down.
I have used the information you installed in your handset as a typical example. If there be names you want to delete from your phone, do you just go to “Delete all” and you delete? No!
You will, first of all, go through those names, and then you begin to mark those unwanted names. After marking, you highlight it by marking ‘Delete’. You will hear the question, “Delete all?” “All marked?” Some will even go further asking you questions, “Do you mean to delete all?” “Yes” or “No” or “Ok.”
Then you pause, lest in your attempt to delete all, you include names you will regret after, or names that will cost you a lot to retrieve. Has it not happened to you in natural instance?
Deleting a number that cost you a lot to get, only for you to be looking for it. When you realize it is included among the names you deleted, to get that number again becomes very difficult. So, there are some important numbers.
Then you go through the list again to know whether there are some you might like to use their services in the future. Maybe in the attempt to use their services, they may turn over to a new leaf.
“Okay. I know what I will do. You see these ones that are condemned already and I have followed them over the years, these are the ones. Let Me unmark these ones and carry on with them.” But to these, once you say ‘delete’ and you touch that ‘delete’, in one second, it is all over.
But in marking, marking can take months. After marking, you will re-examine it again.
Do you know what it takes to sign a death warrant issued by the court to execute [I mean] a condemned criminal. Governors of the States find it difficult to append their signatures. They are sore afraid. And few individuals might be involved in the whole State.
Begin now to think what this One Man will do Who is given this sole responsibility to determine those that will perish eternally and those that will be saved eternally. Begin to put yourself in the shoes of this Man.
What type of offence will this person commit that will make you to push him into the unquenchable fire where he will not see the light of the day throughout the eternity of all eternities? Begin to think.
That is why where we are now is the most delicate period. And for a Man to do this, that is God. He requires to go on leave where He will not be distracted by any sign or any noise. Where He will sit down in prayers and look at the condemned list, over and over and over and over. Check all their records past and present, lest first offenders will be there.
Do you think it is easy? It takes God to do this. You see why I am not in a haste? Human lives are involved and it is not something you can take away today and get it tomorrow.
Eternal separation from God. Note that statement, “Eternal”, not temporary. If human beings know what awaits them, nobody will be persuaded to act now.

If I should be a Leader among you, I should not rule you like the kings of the world, who exercise control and authority over everything and expect people to come and worship. I should worship you if it possible, because I am serving you. I am serving your interest. That is why I go beyond human imagination to make sure I put things right. I say, this is the reason why I go beyond human imagination – things you could not imagine God doing, you see Me doing it to make sure I restore the Love of God and restore Fellowship so that the blessings of God can reach you.

THE SON OF MAN

FORGIVENESS; Preached on Sunday 6^th January 2008 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 132 vs. 51

THE SON OF MAN IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH

MODERATED BY THE SON OF MAN

This Message before Me is entitled, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? It is on My table. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting until you enter the mortuary or are you waiting for the time when you become the president of Nigeria?

“Who is a worthless fellow? He is like salt that has lost its flavour.
“Let Me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavours of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste Godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.” [Matthew 5:13, The Message Bible].
“You are the world’s seasoning, to make it tolerable. If you lose your flavour, what will happen to the world? And you yourselves will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.” [Matthew 5:13, Living Bible].
“¹⁹But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands, sure and unshaken, bearing this seal (inscription): The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names [himself by] the Name of the Lord give up all iniquity and stand aloof from it.
²⁰But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also [utensils] of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble [use] and some for menial and ignoble [use].
²¹So whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences] will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.” [2 Timothy 2:19-21, Amplified version]
Contaminating and corrupting influences. Do we have such people? Does it exist?
That is why the Bible said we should run away from every appearances of the devil, lest we be contaminated. And that we should also avoid being corrupted by the simplicity that is in Christ into thinking that His patience towards us all [not willing that any should be destroyed] to mean weakness.
Reference: [1] 1 Thessalonians 5:22. Abstain from all appearance of evil. KJV
[2] 2 Peter 3:9. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. KJV
[3] 2 Corinthians 11:3. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. KJV
And this has become weakness on His side. That He has longsuffering and is patient with all of us, believing that we will come back to our senses and understand what He is saying, for He is not willing that any among us should perish. We now take it to be weakness on God’s side.
Some even take it that God is afraid of them and that they are above destruction. It is because they lack understanding. A foolish fellow does not know when he is being tolerated.
“¹⁹But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands, sure and unshaken, bearing this seal (inscription): The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names [himself by] the name of the Lord give up all iniquity and stand aloof from it.
²⁰But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also [utensils] of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble [use] and some for menial and ignoble [use].
²¹So whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences] will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.” [2^nd Timothy 2 verse 19 through 21 Amplified Bible Classic Edition].
And these are the categories of people The Son of Man is bundling to be burned; people who have no positive impact on the earth. People without good character.
These are the people who are merely making contact in the Faith, with no positive impact. They are making contact and not impact.
People without good character despite being with us for a long time and receiving the type of truth that changes human life for the better. There is still no positive change in them.
“The type of truth that transforms human life for the better if only you will believe. But when you do not believe, will your life be transformed for the better? Never!
I do not want to mention names. There are too many characters we have in our Faith.
This Bridal Faith is full of people that hear the truth, know the truth, but do not believe, for which cause their character has remained the same from the day one we met them in 1990 till now. No change.
If they were evil when I met them, in spite of the glorious Messages from God that have transformed many people’s character for the better, they are still living that old life.” [REPUTATION, Vol. 1 Page 98 verse 27-29, preached Sunday 21^st June 2020].
That is why God said, “You must know where you are coming from. You must know where you are coming from. You must know where you are today. And you will know automatically where you are heading to.
If you do not know what you were in time past, you will never know what you are today. You will never know when a change has taken place in your life permanently, whether it be good or bad.
Is it not one who knows what he or she was in time past that starts weeping when he or she is contaminated? When the person is corrupted, he or she will be crying and shouting. Is it not so? This is because that thing which the person abhors came to him. Then he runs as fast as his legs can carry him.
The same way, when someone who was a wicked fellow in time past hears the Spoken Word of God, and through obeying the Spoken Word of God transforms his life, what he will be saying is, “If I had known about the Spoken Word; if it had come to me earlier than now, all my foolish ways and unprofitable living in time past would not have been.”
He will be regretting his sinful past and the wasted years; the years he wasted in vanity. The too many years he spent in vanity.
Life started having meaning from the day you encountered Christ. Anybody that has not encountered Christ, life will never have any meaning to that person. He lives as he wishes. Do you believe this to be true?
Life is meaningless without Christ. And when you were living your life without Christ, watch! Life had no meaning to you. You were acting anyhow.
So, from the day God met you on the way, arrested you and caused you to make a U-turn, if you can remember that very day it happened, you will always be happy with yourself.
I mean, every true seed of God must know what he was in time past, what he is today and what brought about that permanent change.
One who was filthy, indulging in filthy conversations with the ignorant and disobedient people out there, automatically embraced Christ and made a U-turn, discarded the old life as a woman discards her menstrual cloth, turned over to a new leaf, of course, he will never forget the day it happened.
Life without Christ is a meaningless life. Life starts having meaning to the individual from the day he encounters Christ, for he has encountered the truth that transforms human life, if they put that truth into practice.
It is just like a woman or a man [whether you are a woman or a man], in terms of natural virginity which is physical; it is purely physical. So, it is with spiritual virginity.
Every woman knows the day, no matter the age of that woman, if you asked her, “Woman, please tell us, who was the first man that saw your nakedness as you were coming up in life and what was your experience that day?”, she will narrate all verbatim, age notwithstanding. A woman can forget all experiences in life, but not that one.
A man, the same thing, no matter the age of that man. Ask him that question, “Who could be the first girl or lady that you had intercourse with while you were coming up as a young man, and what and what were your experiences?”, surely he will narrate all. He will tell you how it started, how it happened, and his experiences after.
So, it is when you have a sincere encounter and submit to that Christ you have met or Who met you. With a sincere heart, a ready heart, all the evils of the past will stop there, for your eyes of understanding have been opened. You will regret the years you spent in vanity pursuing the shadow thinking you were pleasing God.
This is because any time, year or month, anybody spent outside Christ is a period spent in vanity; a regrettable expenditure of time, energy and what have you. True or false?
I can stand here and tell you that life started having meaning to Me at so, so and so age. And look at My own personal encounter that made Me never to live My life the way I wanted like other youths.
When you begin to have that encounter, supernatural, not any man preaching to you, you know this is supernatural, you will not be obeying anybody but that Supernatural that is always walking with you and talking to you.
If He is God, He will lead and guide you into all godly actions. But if it is the devil, he will not even lead and guide you, he will destroy you prematurely. He must destroy you. That is why evil destroys the wicked.
The evil that men do have been proved to be the same evil that destroys them. When you want to live your life without Christ, you have already determined your eternal destiny.
If Christ is not following you, the devil is following you. If Christ is not guiding you, the devil is guiding you. If you are not hearing the Voice of God, you are hearing the voice of the devil.
Obedience, the same thing. You either obey God or you obey the devil. The manifestation automatically tells the whole world the party you belong to. True or false?
This is the much we can take from that Message. On this note, I say bye till I come your way next time. Pray for Me while I pray for you. I am expecting My leave letter. Any day it arrives, I will read it before everybody. And I will tell you where I am spending the leave and how long I intend to stay there, unless something else prompts Me to terminate it abruptly and rush back.
But My desire is to stay, at least, a little longer than necessary to see whether I can refresh a little. Pray for Me as I pray for you. If it is possible, let there be some that will be willing to go with Me so that we will spend the leave together. I am going for vacation.
The world may not know what I am saying, but every true elect is aware that the Son of Man is planning and preparing earnestly for His vacation.
It will not stop Me from all human activities. No! Neither will it cripple your own. Go ahead! I say, go ahead.
To God be the glory, honour, praise, adoration and majesty now and forever for His Name’s sake, I pray. Amen.
You can go to your houses.
