DO YOU REALLY KNOW APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA? PREACHED ON 19thMARCH 2023 By Bishop Joe Ukpong At The Lord’s Own Household At Akwa-Ibom Transcribed By Sister Peace Ukpong WHY ARE YOU HERE; WHY AM I HERE? CALL YOURSELF TO ORDER ON 6TH JUNE, 2023

Compiled by Pastor Lucky Eze At The Bridal Lodge Nsugbe, Anambra State, Nigeria. The Salem City

Approved and Authorized BYAPOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN

It was Apostle Peter Odoemena’s photograph that was taken, thus IN Him Is the father revealed. There is no other individual whose photograph can be taken and the Father is revealed through him. Never, never. For the Lord our God is one. How can you say you believe in the Father and disbelieve the Son? You have not started. We are not following cunningly devised fables, we are eyewitnesses of His Majesty. It happened before our eyes, no foreigner took the photograph that revealed the Father. The photograph was taken from among us.

-THE SON OF MAN

IN HIM IS THE FATHER REVEALED Preached

THE SON OF MAN IS THAT REVEALED FAITH

To God be all the Glory, honour, praise and adoration. We have gathered once again unto our God to renew our strength.

  • I want you all to always have it behind your mind that our faith is pledged to the One Living and true God, who hid Himself in the man Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN].
  • This man is the Almighty Creator of Heaven and earth. He is called Eloi, which means Almighty in strength, for He can do what He wills without effort. That is, He does the greatest things as easy as He does the least. This makes Him different from all beings.
  •  It is unfortunate that many do not know who this Man is. His existence is without beginning, and no contingency as to His end. What many do not know is that His corporal body has a beginning which can be dated back to 3rd April 1955, which prophet William Marrion Branham confirmed in his message in Jefferson Ville on Sunday 3rd April 1955 in his message titled, CORINTHIANS BOOK OF CORRECTION JEFFERSON VILLE SERIES.
  • He said, “This day, the corporal body of God is born on earth”. Pardon me for I am still searching for the message to enable me bring out the full quote. Today, I want us to consider this topic, DO YOU REALLY KNOW APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA?
  • If you have been doubting, arguing over who this Man is, you do not know Him. If there be any question agitating your mind as to why you should exercise your faith in Him and in Him alone, you do not know this Man.
  • If you have been talking in your groups, in your families about Him, about His family, you do not know this Man. Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] is the unchangeable God. That is, nothing but His own will can change Him. He is the fountain of all knowledge, that comprehends without being comprehended.
  • Join me as we go to the Bible. Revelation 1 vs. 8 KJV. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the LORD, who is and who was and who is to come, THE ALMIGHTY”.
  • Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] is the Almighty, the Resurrected Body that has come, dwelling with us His people. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. Whatever He says you should do, do it without delay and without question and it will be well with your soul.
  • Revelation 1 vs. 17-18 KJV. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid, I am the first and the last. I am He who lives and was dead and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of death.
  • Apostle Peter Odoemena is He who is alive forevermore, the Resurrected Body.
  • Look at the experience of Saint John and his reaction when he met the Resurrected Body in the Island of Patmos. He fell at His feet as dead. He the Resurrected Body had to lay His right hand on him, encouraging him not to be afraid.
  • Now, I want us to compare this Saint John’s experience and his reaction to the way many of us behave towards Him, who is the same Resurrected Body Saint John had an encounter with.
  • When you come face to face with Him today, what is your attitude towards Him? The same privilege John the revelator had, is what we are having today. How are we taking His words and His instructions?
  • Saint John carried out His instructions to the later, how about you today? Your actions, reactions, attitude to Him, His words and instructions show clearly that you lack the knowledge of Him.
  • Now I want us to really ask ourselves this pertinent question, ‘Do I really know who Apostle Peter Odoemena is? Do I really believe He is what He said He is?’ Your earnest and sincere answer will help you a lot and will help you change your reaction towards Him at every given time.
  • Let us continue in the Bible. Revelation 14 vs. 6-7 KJV. Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth – to every nation, tribe, tongue and people. Saying with a loud voice, ‘fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come, and worship Him who made Heaven and earth, the sea, and springs of water’.
  • Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] is the Almighty who in His Angelic form is called the Arch Angel – who is having the everlasting gospel which He has already preached to those who dwell on the planet earth.
  • To every nation, tribe and tongue. Always remember that Apostle Peter Odoemena is the arch angel and He is also the Almighty God, the first and last, the Alpha and the Omega.
  • Turn with me to the message, MIDWAY MESSAGE Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 12th July, 2020. Don’t you agree that the gospel has gone round the whole world? Almighty God is the one doing it for He is the greatest evangelist, evangelizing the whole world.
  • Page 21 vs. 10-16. One Man! Eh! Oh no! One man, the Arch Angel, came with an everlasting gospel, the everlasting gospel, to be preached to all the nations in the world in all their languages, tribes and then, the end will come.
  • And that one Man came and accomplished it. Tell me one man who can do that, if not the Almighty who is the Universal God. Eh? Who shuttles all the four corners of the earth in one second, who travels as a thought, after which He comes and sits down.
  • One man accomplishing what the world could not do over the years. And yet the people do not fear. David said, “Can’t you fear this Man?
  • Can’t you fear the Man who not only created the heaven and the earth, but knows the number of hairs on your head? Knows the number of sands on the ocean shore, knows the day you will die and how you will die. Amen!
  • That is why, THE SON OF MAN warned all of you, “Do not declare any man lost until you have heard it from my mouth.”
  • “But if I say you do not know me, or do you know me? Do you really know me? It means I am querying something in you. Stop at nothing until you solve the problem. Then the question will answer itself”. “I know. Daddy, I know”, is not the answer.
  • The answer is, there is something in you, going on in you, which you think He does not know. But you do not know when He started monitoring you.
  • God monitors people from afar. The day God punishes a man is not the day he committed the crime. He has been following the man, talking to the man, thinking he will change.
  •  But when the blasphemy becomes injurious, unacceptable, unbearable, the Lord will stop the persons breathe in any form or shape. And then parcel the person into prison custody, waiting for hellfire.
  • From the passage we have just read, don’t you see that it is very, very necessary to know who Apostle Peter Odoemena is by Divine revelation?
  • He knows the end from the beginning. There is nothing hidden before Him. Let us go over to another message, EXAMINE YOUR LIFE IN THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH YOU HAVE RECEIVED. Preached by The Son of Man in His family altar on Tuesday morning, 24th March 2015.
  • Page 17 vs. 2-8. Let us not be ungrateful people who can hardly appreciate whatever God is doing for them. Every true seed of God remains appreciative of every little thing, favour he or she receives, not only from God, even from his fellow mankind.
  • No matter how small that favour might be, be appreciative. Say “thank you” from your heart because it is not easy.
  •  There are too many people that are wandering from pillar to post, praying earnestly that God would show them favour. But they are missing the whole thing.
  • The greatest favour we have received from God is this Faith, this Bridal Faith where our eyes of understanding got illuminated, where we came face to face with the truth. The whole world is wallowing in ignorance, in darkness.
  • I am telling you the whole truth. This Faith is that narrow path – narrow way which Jesus Christ saw ahead of time and told people to strive to enter through the narrow gate.
  • He said that there is a narrow gate that leads to Eternal life. He told them that only few would find it. But there is a broad way, a broad gate, a very wide gate, hence people are surging into it in millions and in trillions.
  • He said, “Do not ever follow the broad way”. But look at this narrow gate, you see this gate, the gate is very narrow, the road is very narrow. He said, “follow that one.
  • Strive! Strive earnestly that you may enter”. For there will be many that will struggle to enter but they cannot. But to you that really believe, He said, “Strive that you may enter”.
  • Was there ever a time He said it is easy? If it is not difficult, if the road is very easy, the Lord Jesus Christ will not have enjoined us to strive, struggle, be courageous, try as much as you can to do what? To enter. To enter through that narrow gate. Only few will find it.
  • The greatest favour we have received from God is this Faith. This Faith is the Man Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHNMHN]. When He came, did He find Faith on earth? The answer is no.
  • Luke 18 vs. 8 KJV. “I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Never the less, when THE SON OF MAN comes, will He really find faith on the earth?
  • He, Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] had to create His Faith in us all who believe. This Faith is that narrow path, that narrow way. The Faith which is the Man Apostle Peter Odoemena, is also that narrow path and way. Let us return back to the message, MIDWAY MESSAGE.
  • Page 72 vs. 42-45. And for all that are connected to this family, who are working worthy of the recognition of their faith by The Son of Man – I told you that God said, “when The Son of Man shall come, who is vested with the authority to lead you into the knowledge of all truths, give you salvation in fullness and in completeness and in joy and then judge the whole earth in righteousness without taking bribe.
  • “When He shall come, shall He find faith among you?” When He came, there was no faith. He started teaching with the intent to build faith. And now, after building the faith, look at where you are. He made you a people ready for full and complete salvation, not to all but to all that have believed and are obeying. That is why, that which you believed from the very beginning, keep on believing, doubting nothing.
  • He that is leading you, teaching you and counseling, admonishing, correcting, rebuking and indicting is God.
  • Page 36 vs. 49. You are not a child of God, until you convince God that He is your Father, by being obedient, loyal and faithful to all His words, instructions, admonitions, corrections, and then take a decision to pattern after your Father.
  • Who is this God, your Father? Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN]. You have to convince Him that He is your Father by being obedient, loyal and faithful to all His words, instructions, admonitions, corrections and then take a decision to pattern after Him.

People who have difficulties understanding God’s messages are strangers. God is always at home with His true children. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”

-Evangelist Anayo Chukwubuikem

GOD IS AT HOME WITH HIS CHILDRENOn 26th February 2021. Pg 18:6 & 7

WE ARE AT HOME WITH OUR GOD WHERE BELIEVERS HAS ENTERED THAT REST

Page 87 vs. 10. WE ARE AT HOME WITH OUR GOD. WHY IS IT DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS A HUMAN BEING AND YET THEY CARRY THE BIBLE?

  • ST. PAUL WAS TALKING TO HIS PEOPLE IN HIS DAY, he was addressing Timothy to pass on the information that God is a human being.
  • Page 88 vs. 15-46. To those that are carrying the bible, I do not really know where they are heading to.
  • Christ in every age has always been the Door, the entrance Door by which you can have eternal life if you enter. When you believe, you have entered. We that believed have already entered into our rest, is that not correct?
  • St. John 10 vs. 9. “Yes I am the gate. Those who come in by way of the gate will be saved and will go in and out and find green pastures. LB.
  • “I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture”. KJV.
  • “I am the door, any one who enters in through me will be saved. Believe, he will come in and he will go out free and find pasture”. AMP.
  • Please take note of it. In every dispensation, Christ has always been a man. And that man has always been the Door, the gate, the entrance by which you will enter and have your rest.
  • We that believed according to the book of Hebrews, we that have believed have entered into our own rest. Is it not scriptural? Can’t we balance it?
  •  In the book of Hebrews 4 vs. 8,“For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterword have spoken of another day”.
  • If Jesus had given them the rest that we are talking about. “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His”.
  • Are we relying on our own works? No sir! WHEN YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO THAT REST, YOUR OWN WORK STOPS.
  • There is nothing you can do to save yourself again for you have already believed. For he that has entered into His rest, he has ceased from his own works as God did from His.
  • Let us labour therefore to enter that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
  • Hebrews 4 vs. 1-3.“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
  • For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them, but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
  • For we which have believed do enter into rest, as He said, as I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest. Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. KJV.
  • The work was finished from the foundation of the world and they were only called to believe in the finished work. Because they could not believe, they continued in their own works. They were laboring to see what they can do to get saved.
  •  HOWEVER, WHOEVER THAT HAS BELIEVED, HAS ENTERED INTO THIS REST. HE HAS CEASED FROM HIS OWN LABOUR, YOU CEASED FROM YOUR WORKS.
  •  NO MORE WORK OF SALVATION, YOU CAN PRAY FOR ANY OTHER THING BUT NOT FOR SALVATION. YOU CAN WORK FOR ANY OTHER THING, NOT WORKING FOR SALVATION. WHY? YOU HAVE BELIEVED, YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO THAT REST.
  • 1st John 1 vs. 1.“Christ was alive when the world began, yes I myself have seen Him with my own eyes”.
  • Christ was alive when the world began, I myself have seen Him with my own eyes. The Anointed one, the Messiah, I have seen Him with my own eyes. “I 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”. Note, He is God’s message of life.
  • That is THE PERSON we are talking about. We are talking about Christ and His promised rest.
  • Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us from entering into that rest, where we are struggling to save ourselves, we will do this, we will do that. Na lie! Once you have believed, you are saved.
  • St. John 10 vs. 9.“I am the Door. By me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture”. KJV
  • I am the Door, I am the Gate. By me if any will enter, he shall be saved. You will have rest. You go in and out freely and find pasture. I am the Door, I am the Gate.
  • Remember the vision of our sister Ezichi, when God revealed the gate to her, revealed the Door, and the whole thing turned out to be a personality that could open and close.
  • Brother Chime saw a vision where that same personality opened. It appears brethren were walking into Him until the thing closed, and closed all of them in. Then, the catching away of the Saints took place.
  • God said, “Nobody is going to rapture but Christ. Anybody that is not found in Christ is not for rapture”. He will rapture all that are in Him, all that are in Him. Not outside Him, all that are in Him. He will deliver to the Father at the end.
  • If you are not found in Him, you are lost. To be found in Him means you must be found in Him not holding your own righteousness which is of your works. Work is of the law, Faith is of Grace.
  • As many as are found in Him not holding their own righteousness which is of the law, shall be saved.
  • You see why Jesus Christ could not give them that rest. Jesus Christ announced it but did not help them to be partakers of that rest.
  • If Jesus Christ has ushered them into that rest, we would not be talking about that rest even till now. The people would have rested from their works;
  •  But you will notice that immediately Jesus Christ left the scene, they labored more and more and they are laboring till today.
  • Page 102 vs. 53-54. Thus, you must know where you are standing, when we say Gate, Gate, Gate, Door, Door, Door. You do not begin to look at the sky. I AM THE GATE, I AM THE DOOR.
  • I AM THE MESSAGE OF ETERNAL LIFE, CHRIST HIMSELF IS THAT MESSAGE.
  • Page 116 vs. 93-95. I AM THE DOOR, AS MANY THAT WILL COME IN THROUGH ME WILL FIND REST.
  • WE THAT HAVE BELIEVED HAVE ALREADY ENTERED INTO OUR REST AND THAT REST IS SUCH THAT WHOEVER THAT HAS ENTERED WILL STOP FROM WORKS.
  • When you enter into the promised rest, your works will stop, God will now take over, the Spirit now takes over, finish. You are now at rest.
  • God is with us, that is, a sure sign that the imaginary God has been born as a human being. He is now with us, and the scripture said that He is the same yesterday, today and forever, the Alpha and the Omega. Is it true? Amen!
  • Page 120 vs. 3. The beginning and ending of all things! Who is THIS ONE? He that is arriving with a Cloud around Him. Oh no, the A and Z, the beginning and ending of everything, the Gate, the Door, the Alpha and the Omega.
  • THE GREATEST GIFT GOD HAS GIVEN TO THIS GENERATION IS THE SON OF MAN.
  • Now, let us return to the message, EXAMINE YOUR LIFE IN THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH YOU HAVE RECEIVED. Page 27 vs. 1.
  • We are giving God the praise, as many of us as have found this narrow way. We have found the narrow way. One thing is to find the narrow gate, another thing is to strive to enter.
  • God has carried us to the narrow gate and have opened the gate which is Himself. The question staring us in the face now is, have you entered through the narrow gate or will you stop at the gate?
  • As long as you have evaluated yourself and you know that you are not having any doubt which is the number one sign of unbelief in you, then you know that the gate will open for you.
  • Turn with me to the message, CHRIST IS THE IDENTITY OF EVERY ELECT. Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 8th February 2015. Page 93 vs. 26.
  • Remember we have too many dreams, we have visions, you have heard audible voices concerning that gate. I am the door. I am the door. Nothing defiling will ever cross it. Nothing spotted, nothing with blemish can ever cross it.
  • We go back to the message, EXAMINE YOUR LIFE IN THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH YOU HAVE RECEIVED. Page 31 vs. 12-16. THAT WAS THE REASON WHY GOD WAS TELLING US THAT, KNOWING THAT THE GATE IS REAL AND IS VERY NARROW, YOUR MOTHER CAN NEVER TAKE YOU IN THERE, YOUR FATHER CAN NEVER TAKE YOU IN THERE.
  • NOBODY CAN HELP HIS FELLOW TO ENTER. THE MAN CAN NEVER ENTER WITH HIS WIFE. THE WIFE CAN NEVER ENTER WITH THE HUSBAND. WE ARE ENTERING AS INDIVIDUALS.
  • THAT IS WHY GOD SAID WE SHOULD DO SELF-EXAMINATION BEFORE THAT THING WOULD SURPRISE EVERYBODY.
  • God said that from time to time, you scrutinize yourself, re-examine your life in line with the Faith.
  • Do not re-examine your life with what others are doing. Do not look at what others are doing. Do not ever say this person does this. Do not compare yourself to somebody.
  • Do not ever try it! Because that is where most people are dying. “Thank God, I am not like this person. Thank God I am not like this person”. Who told you? Do you know what the person is holding before you start saying you are not like this person?
  • This person you are comparing yourself with, do you know when he will throw his own away? Page 35 vs. 19-20.
  • What you think the door will reject is not what the door will reject. That is why you must find out what God hates, everybody among us, both young or old.
  • If you know what God hates, if you know what the message that has been given to you rejects, if there is anything He said you should do, do it.
  • Anyone He says you should not do, do not ever do it. Avoid it. Do not ever say, “I am not like this person. Thank God I am not like this person”. No, no, no. Don’t ever! Don’t ever! Know thyself. Know thyself alone. Because you alone will enter.
  • Why do people have difficulty in believing the truth? What is the problem of the people? Why are people difficult to the point that they cannot acknowledge the truth?
  • Brethren, now that we are tidying up, we should sit down and ask ourselves question. 1What is my relationship with the almighty God? 2What is my relationship with my family? 3What is my relationship with my brethren? 4What is my stand with the heathens concerning my faith? These four things, we must surely consider them. [1] My relationship with almighty [2] My relationship with my family, my wife, my husband, my children. [3] My relationship with the brethren, all that are purchased of Christ; the household of God generally worldwide, [4]Then, my stand concerning my faith among the heathens. These are the things you must consider now as we are tidying up. Anything that will make us unworthy that day, please, God is saying we should avoid it.

THE SON OF MAN IS HEAVEN MADE POSSIBLE

 Let us turn to, MIDWAY MESSAGE. Page 134 vs. 45-46. What is difficult for people to believe is not difficult for us. Reason being that God from the beginning bestowed all of us with believing heart to believe the truth.

  • If He did not bestow us with believing heart, definitely we would have been where others are. And that will be disastrous.
  • Despise me not. Despise not The Son of Man for He remains our only help, our eye opener and the Justifier of the unjust.
  • Page 135 vs. 50-55. St. John 1 vs. 10. ‘He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him, did not know Him’. AMP
  • can you say? If they did not recognize Him that time, has human beings changed? Human beings are still the same. Why didn’t they recognize Him? The interpretation, the perception they were having concerning Him was very, very wrong.
  • The type of perception you have concerning God will determine whether you will miss Him or not. People missed God in all the ages because of the perceptions they have concerning Him.
  • People have their own perception concerning God and what He will do. If He comes contrary to their perception, they are completely lost.
  •  God warned us concerning inherited religion. People inheriting religion without accepting the truth thereof.
  • Once you hold to inherited religion, it will blind you and you will never recognize and accept the truth.
  • Page 139 vs. 59-60. People have one foolish behavior towards God. “God said, God said”. The moment they hear “God said”, they will be panicking, for nobody wants to offend God. But they are offending God everyday.
  • Be courageous to ask God, “who are You? What is Your Name? what is Your mission? What do you want me to do?”
  • Check all that God met, they asked God questions to know exactly who they encountered. Some even asked God for a sign that they might be convinced.
  •  In this Faith of The Son of Man, we are told to ask very hard questions. That unless you are convinced, do not ever show concern.
  • Page 147, quote in the box. Now you have seen Him revealed, the veil has been rent into two before your eyes. You have seen the Father, you have seen Apostle Peter Odoemena.
  • Has it become a revelation to you that Apostle Peter Odoemena is the Name of God? [From the message, THE SALVATION LINK FOR YOUR AGE HAS BEEN REVEALED. Preached on 6th May, 2012. Page 33 verse 10].
  • Has it become a revelation to you as an individual that Apostle Peter Odoemena is the name of God? Don’t just say yes, be sure. If not, ask God and He will give you the revelation.
  • Page 171 vs. 63-66. When you step your feet on that ladder or staircase, you will land in Glory. He that is standing on top of the ladder or the staircase, whatever you may call it, said His Name is Jehovah.
  • Thus, people will make it. Who will make it? The Elect! God has given us a very nice ladder. The ladder is this Bridal Faith!
  • THE SON OF MAN has made the impossible system to be possible. For He is the one Christ of our own day that has delivered us from the curse of the impossible system. Is that not right?
  • The book of Peter said, “He has delivered us from the impossible road to heaven”. God has given us a very nice ladder which is Himself in His tabernacle – Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN].
  • When you step your feet on this ladder or staircase, you will land in Glory. Thus, in The Son of Man, heaven is made possible.
  •  Page 173 vs. 68. Not only possible, THE SON OF MAN is the ladder, the link between heaven and earth! The link between us and Jehovah. Apostle Peter Odoemena is the link between us and Jehovah. The link between us and the Godhead.
  • Page 174 vs. 71-72. Being a human being like you, He placed Himself before you as your living example, your guide, your leader, your instructor, your comforter, your all and all.
  • He said, “Look up to Him. In Him is the Father revealed!” NOW WE KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.
  • Page 185 vs. 15. We are not talking about another person but Jehovah, the Great Elohim, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Supreme law giver, the Saviour, the Redeemer, the Righteous One.
  • To others, He is invisible. To His own, He is visible. He revealeth Himself to whosoever He willeth.
  •  Page 192 vs. 33. I, THE SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, I am the Door, I am the Ladder, I am the go-between (intermediary). Climb me courageously and you will see the Father on top. Amen.
  • If you have seen Apostle Peter Odoemena, you have seen the Father. Now, I believe that He is helping us, we know with every amount of certainty who He is, if you are a seed of God.
  • Now we are sure and certain that the Eloi; the Almighty God is dwelling with us all these years and He has given us His Faith. Our duty is to examine and re-examine ourselves individually.
  • Turn with me once again to the message, EXAMINE YOUR LIFE IN THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH YOU HAVE RECEIVED. Page 44 vs. 1-6. RE-EXAMINE YOUR LIFE.
  • LET US LIVE THAT LIFE THAT WOULD MAKE GOD SAY “WELCOME”. A LIFE THAT WOULD NOT CREATE PROBLEM FOR US WHERE WE ARE NOW. AND WHAT IS THAT LIFE? USE YOUR HAND TO TELL YOURSELF THE NAKED TRUTH.
  • SELF-EXAMINATION! RE-EXAMINE YOURSELF IN THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH YOU HAVE RECEIVED. RE-EXAMINE YOURSELF! THE TIME WHEN WE USED TO SAY, “RE-EXAMINE THE FAITH” IS PAST.
  • ANYBODY RE-EXAMINING THIS FAITH IS AN UNBELIEVER.
  • HOW CAN YOU RE-EXAMINE THE CONFIRMED FAITH, TO SAY WHETHER THIS FAITH IS TRUE OR FALSE? THAT SHOWS THAT THE FELLOW HAS DOUBT.
  • I AM NOT IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THIS FAITH IS TRUE OR FALSE. THUS, I AM NO LONGER RE-EXAMINING THIS FAITH. THIS FAITH IS TRUE.
  • THIS FAITH HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE ALMIGHTY GOD TO BE THE ONLY LIVING AND TRUE FAITH FROM THE ONLY LIVING AND TRUE GOD. (SELAH).
  • IT IS NOW LEFT FOR ME TO CHECK AND KNOW WHETHER I AM IN IT OR NOT. TO CHECK WHETHER I JUST CAME IN AND SAT DOWN, ASSUMING THAT I AM GOING TO CHURCH. “I AM GOING TO CHURCH WITH MY MOTHER. I AM GOING TO CHURCH WITH MY FATHER”. NOMINAL WORSHIP. EVERYTHING NOMINAL.
  • Such a fellow is not convinced and definitely not attaching any importance to the Faith. A lot of people in this Faith do not attach any importance to this Faith.
  • A lot of people in this Faith do not attach any importance to this Faith. They are just gathering in their families and yet they do not believe what the Faith who is The Son of Man is teaching. Look into your midst.
  • The question I ought to ask myself and you ask yourself is this, “Am I among this group of people?” One that goes to fellowship but does not attach any importance to the messages received!
  • Page 53 vs. 21. I am raising this alarm so that you do not think that God is talking about people outside this Faith. He is talking about us. Who is God talking to? He is talking to you and I. The whole places God spoke about in the scriptures is for you and I.
  • God is using people to fulfill all the prophecies in the scriptures, both the good and bad ones. Find out the part of the scripture you are fulfilling.
  •  Cast away every spirit of craftiness, for a crafty person is a criminal. A crafty person does not succeed in this world. If you are wise, employ that your wisdom in the worship of God.
  • If you divert the good sense God has bestowed on you for your academic pursuit, innovative and progressive ideas into craftiness, you are only killing yourself.
  •  Page 67 vs. 49-50. Here, we train ourselves. We have a nature. We have the way we talk. We have the way we eat. Everything has a pattern.
  • Anything you are doing that is not in line with the message we received, should be avoided. Our message say that we should flee from craftiness. Amen.
  • Page 69 vs. 1-2. Re-examine your life in the light of the truth you have received. It is not good for anyone  to be forgetful of the things pertaining to him. Do not forget yourself. Do not forget the hour you are living in.
  • The hour we are living in is very delicate. Very, very delicate. You would not understand what I am saying until it will happen before your eyes.
  • Page 70 vs. 4. This is why every opportunity God gives us to live on earth is to sanitize our lives, to better our lives. If there is any mistake I made yesterday but could not correct it, I can correct it today.
  • Let us learn more about correcting our wrongs in the message, MIDWAY MESSAGE page 43 vs. 68-72. Because if you start young to practice evil, people will be wishing you death even in your young age. Is it a lie?
  • The age you started your evil is the age people will start to curse you. Most of the trouble we are having today is as a result of the curses the people you offended, the people you wronged, the people you exploited and cheated, curses they placed on you because of your wild life.
  • And it is said in Latin language, “Vos populi, Vos dei” – The voice of the people is the voice of God.
  •  For God to set you free, the desire must be there, the zeal must be there to make restitution, until God will say “Do not, I will bear the burden for you”.
  • But when the mind is not there to make restitution, to go back, God will not deliver you. God will deliver you from the debt you cannot pay, and are willing to pay but the means is not there. He will deliver you. He will pay the debt.
  • But when you have not repented fully as to regret your past action and pay back, God will not pay your debt. Your debt is moving with you wherever you are going to. That is why your conscience will never set you free.
  • When you repent fully as to regret your past action and desire to pay back, God will deliver you from the debt you cannot pay, and are willing to pay but the means is not there.

OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD FIRST. EVERY OTHER THING IS SECONDARY.WHEN YOU ARE NOT READY TO OBEY HIS WORD, DO NOT RENDER ANY SERVICE. DO NOT RENDER ANY SACRIFICE. DO NOT EVEN OPEN YOUR MOUTH TO SAY, “PRAISE THE LORD!” THEY ARE WASTED SACRIFICES, FOR THEY ARE RENDERED IN UNBELIEF AND IN WILLFUL DISOBEDIENCE.

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE IN CHRIST IMPLICIT OBEDIENCE

Let us go back to the message, EXAMINE YOUR LIFE IN THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH YOU HAVE RECEIVED. Page 71 vs. 5-7. That we are living on, is not for enjoyment or to mess up ourselves or harden up in iniquity.

  • We are living on, to purify ourselves more, because as you grow, so wisdom and understanding come unto you. Then you repackage yourself and know how to possess your vessel on to honour.
  • Thus, it is very, very important as children of God and as it has become clear to us that the Faith we are in, is not the Faith we will start saying, let us re-examine our Faith, re-examine your Faith is not in this Faith. What you should be re-examining is your life.
  • What I should be re-examining is my life to know whether my life is in line with the message.
  • Once I re-examine my life with the whole doctrine and messages God has been giving us, and I find out that I am in line, I will continually give God all the praise and honour. I will be praying to Him to uphold me lest I fall, “Lord, uphold me lest I fall”.
  • Let us proceed to the message, GOD CAN DO ANYTHING [FAITH EXPLAINED Volume 2] Preached by The Son of Man on 6th September, 2015. Page 70 vs. 49-56.
  • THE GREATEST DESTROYER OF THE FOOLISH IS IGNORANCE. IGNORANCE, LACK OF UNDERSTANDING DESTROYS THE FOOLISH. WHILE A WISE MAN WILL BEHAVE LIKE JOB. SAY, GOD HELP ME, TEACH ME TO UNDERSTAND WHEREIN I HAVE ERRED.
  • A MAN OF HUMBLE SPIRIT GOD CAN NEVER OVERLOOK. HELP ME BY TEACHING ME, HELPING ME TO UNDERSTAND WHEREIN I HAVE ERRED.
  • Isaiah said, “woe is me for I am undone!” When he beheld the face of His majesty in human form. If He is not a human being, His hand could not have touched the tongue of Isaiah.
  • The scripture said, “He reached out His hand and touched his lips. And then cleansed the iniquity of the tongue”. If a man does not offend in words, he has become perfect.
  • A man can tame all wild animals but it is difficult to find a man that has succeeded in taming his lips.That is why I gave you a message, “Be quick to hear and slow to speak”.
  • If there be anything you do not understand here, it does not mean you will not understand forever. Pray and be patient, with time, it shall be made clear.
  • IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY, FOOLISHNESS DESTROY THE FOOLISH MAN. Isaiah thought the Lord will sentence him to eternal hell. He cried out and lamented, “woe is me; I am finished. I am undone for I am a man of unclean lips and my eyes have seen the Majesty of the Lord. The King of the whole earth, the Creator of the universe in human form.
  • They thought He was a mere human being who will pay evil for evil. The Lord bid him to come closer and then, with His hands, he touched the lips. YES, FOR THE HAND OF GOD IS HOLY, FOR GOD IS HOLY.
  • NO HOUSE IS HOLY, NO TEMPLE IS HOLY, NO PLACE IS HOLY, NO MOUNTAIN IS HOLY UNTIL THE HOLY GOD STEPS IN THERE. AUTOMATICALLY, THAT PLACE BECOMES HOLY BECAUSE THE HOLY ONE IS STANDING THERE.
  • Finally, let us turn once again to the message, EXAMINE YOUR LIFE IN THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH YOU HAVE RECEIVED. Page 76 vs. 16-17. And that is why this Voice is going forth.
  • If you do not know when you have entered into Christ, you will not know when you go out. You should know what it takes to come into Christ and what it takes to go out of Christ.
  • What it will take you to enter into Christ is implicit obedience to the message you have received. At the same time, what it will take you to go out of Christ is your disobedience to the message you have received. That’s all. Is there any other thing? There is no other thing.That is, to be in Christ is total submission to the will of Allah.
  • Page 81 vs. 5-10. What is your testimony before God? What is that thing you will remember in your life and you will give God the glory? Is it your implicit obedience or your disobedience to God.
  • Your obedience is in your hand. The same way, your disobedience is in your hands. The way you want it to be is exactly the way it is going to be.
  • If after hearing the word, you decide to throw it away, it is in your hands. On the other hand, if you decide to attach importance to what you have heard, it is also in your hands.
  • Let it be known to you that there is no other opportunity. A time is coming when you will hear your last message. A time is also coming when I will hear my own last message. The next thing you will see is eternity.
  • WHEN OTHERS WILL ENTER INTO ETERNITY, WILL YOU BE AMONG THOSE THAT WILL ENTER? WILL YOU BE AMONG THOSE THAT WILL ENTER? WILL YOU BE AMONG THOSE THAT WILL ENTER? These are the questions we should be asking ourselves.
  • If you have this consciousness in you, nothing will make you forget yourself. Nothing will make you forget the hour you are living in. wherever you are and whatever you are doing, that consciousness will always be there. You will always have limits in everything.
  • You will not be the type of person that will over do things. You will have your limits which you can never cross, instead you will choose to die. You can never cross that limit, for Christ will always place a bar there, saying no!
  • On this note, I say remain blessed in Him eternally.

THE SON OF MAN

God means the spirit of truth, the spirit of Christ in all of us directing. It can be your brother directing. It can be your mother. It can be your sister. It can be anybody. It can be you directing in the spirit of God. My duty is to do it without hypocrisy, without murmuring, without complaining so that I will avoid rebuke, I will avoid indictment. For this year is a year God said, he will not hear “I am sorry. I forgot. I did not mean to do that. Sir, it was a mistake.” God said, “Not this year.

EVIL IS AVOIDED BY REVERENCE

 FOR GOD

The flower of the youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness.” ~Matthew Henry.

  • You are not beautiful, you are not handsome, you are not rich, and you are not good if you are not found in Christ. The beauty, handsomeness and wealth of every youth is hidden in Christ (the sun of righteousness), because it is the life of Christ that adds value to your personality.
  • It is only in Christ that you could preserve your youth and achieve your dreams; every other dreamis worthless outside Christ. I believe the dream and aspiration of every true seed of God is nothing other than attaining God’s nature, and being in right standing with God.
  • Seeing that the devil has vowed to waylay the children of God in this pathway of truth by devaluing evil, making it common in the eyes of all the inhabitants of the earth with the aim of diverting all to hell, instead of the approved place of rest prepared by God our father.
  • It is important that we keep on putting ourselves in remembrance of the strategies of the devil, so that no one will be a victim of that holocaust.
  • I am moved with compassion and love to remind my fellow youths of all that were prophesied about the hour, where we are now. According the scriptures concerning the last days, …,
  • “The Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some in the church will turn away from Christ and become eager followers of teachers with devil-inspired ideas”. 1 Timothy 4 verse 1 Living bible.
  • But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by the hypocrisy of liars, who have been seared in their own conscience. 1 Timothy 4 verse 1 – 2 (Legacy Standard bible)
  • It said that some in the church, bride of Christ will turn away from the truth which is Christ. This particular scripture has fulfilled in our own day. Many in this faith of Christ, their faiths are growing cold on a daily basis.
  • To the point that many has already lost interest in serving this God. The youths now has postponed serving God to old age as if to say, that death is only meant for the elderly.
  • I want to ask my fellow youths in the bride of Christ ministry what has happened to us, how did we forget so quickly our resolution during 2019 youth conference organized and sponsored by the Lord God Almighty, the King of Salem; Apostle Peter Odoemena?
  • Permit me to remind us one of the numerous discussions we had and the resolutions we made, as we look into the message 2019 BRIDAL YOUTH CONFERENCE (THE CONCLUDING SERVICE) VOL. 1
  • “Then, we went to Group B to see what they did. Group B handled GODLY YOUTH VS. WORLDLY YOUTH: THE SEPARATING LINE. Apostle Chukwudi Odoemena was given the charge in the plenary session to handle it as the leader.
  • So, when they looked into this matter, we saw too many separating things. But one glaring thing is that a YOUTH is ONE, just like God told us, THAT IS A PRIME MOVER; ONE THAT CAN CAUSE CHANGE TO HAPPEN.
  • What impact have you made in the life of those around you, beginning with your family, and faith of Christ? That is a Youth.
  • Are we truly god’s consolation or heartbreak? Does God regard you and me as co – labourers whom He initiated into this work of salvation to pilot the affairs of the ministry to the end?
  • It is expedient we come back to our senses, behave ourselves and don’t let God regret ever co-opting us into his salvation plan.
  • Now, God said it must be a positive change. This is because we can see unrest in the society. The youths are behind it, causing things to happen. But that is not the angle God wants it. IT MUST BE A POSITIVE CHANGE.
  • Then the question arises, what positive change have we all brought to our individual homes, the bride in general, to the society and to God who organized and sponsored it to the end?
  • How have we paid him back? What we are manifesting now, was it part of our collective resolve? Who has bewitched us?
  • Then, for what and what do we know both the godly youth and the worldly youth?
  • A GODLY YOUTH IS ONE THAT FEARS GOD. HE OR SHE DOES THINGS BECAUSE GOD SAYS HE OR SHE SHOULD DO THEM AND ACCEPTING THEM BECAUSE GOD SAID THESE THINGS ARE RIGHT; AND THEN ESCHEWING EVIL, AVOIDING EVIL BECAUSE GOD SAID THESE THINGS ARE EVIL, NO MATTER WHO IS SPEARHEADING THEM.
  • Do you fear God, eschewing evil, and avoiding it no matter who is spearheading it? Now the lord is calling us back in his mercy, don’t wait too long, if you do, the life boat will leave you behind.
  • We looked at our spiritual estates. We looked at our dressing patterns, indecent dressing and we saw that there was no separating line between us that call ourselves Godly youths and those out there (The worldly youth).
  • If there is no difference between us the so – called godly youth and the worldly youth what then made you GODLY? Dog going back to its vomit.
  • Does it mean that you were not properly informed before subscribing or you never gave attention to understudying the ministry to knowing what is required of you to be a member of the body of Christ or you were forced by your parents?
  • Whichever way, you have no excuse to give for your wild life because as an adult you are responsible for your actions, and decisions. 
  • We discovered that we have been copying all their lifestyles, both males and females in the areas of making of hair and other things, even when God has labelled many of them criminal suspects.
  • You were copying the world’s way of doing things because you were never convinced, even when you have grown to an adult.
  • We even looked at yahoo-yahoo business which is also known as Cybercrime (419, Advance fee fraud, achieved by tricks) using handsets, computer systems and other electronic devices, even one on one tricking.
  • After looking at these things, we asked ourselves, “Where are they leading us to?” The answer was supreme shame, disgrace and eternal hellfire. We were all filled with fear and we asked again, “What do we do here?”.
  • All that glitters is not gold. The prosperity of the wicked is like a flower that blossoms in the morning, get heated in the day and in the evening, dies, their position forgotten. Just like smoke, that fizzles away with time.
  • Like David we answered, “We hastily run back to God.” That was the resolution we had here and that, this demarcation must be well pronounced between the children of God and the children of Belial; and that we must reflect Godly Youth.
  • What happened to all our collective and individual resolutions after the conference meeting both with our speakers and group discussions? The earlier we retract and humble ourselves before God, the better for us.
  • Youths are like the backbones of a society or country because they have the propensity to change the dynamics of a new paradigm shift in society. ~Hussain Hamzahx
  • Instead of utilizing our youthful strength according the scripture in promoting and propagating the gospel of Christ, every youth is now poised to making money to the neglect of his life giver.
  • The psalmist saw this spirit and made a prayer to God that God should help him to prefer obedience to his word than making money. Now, the youth of today are living as if the whole essence of God creating man was to make money.
  • Psalms 119 verse 36 through 38 “Help me to prefer obedience to making money! 37 Turn me away from wanting any other plan than yours. Revive my heart toward you.
  • The essence of this gospel is to revive the hearts of those whose desires and aspiration has led far away from God, so that through the entrance of the word of God which is the mirror that reveals every man and his works, they may come back to God. We are in the business of reconciling men to God.
  • 38 Reassure me that your promises are for me, for I trust and revere you.
  • The real assurance is that if you and I abandon our evil ways and return fully to God, remain obeying, and become God pleasers than men pleasers, in the end when He (God) would reward every man according his works, we would receive a royal welcome. For we shall not be strangers there.
  • There has never been anybody who abandoned God and made any successful end. This is true, because you will be a great temptation to the rest. So, God cannot plot a coup against himself, instead of the person to make it, he would be more miserable than he was before he left.
  • In the book of proverbs, it made us to understand that mortals, mankind make elaborate plans but it is in the hand of God to decide the plans.
  •  Proverbs 16 verse 1 through 9 “We can make our plans, but the final outcome is in God’s hands. 2We can always “prove” that we are right, but is the Lord convinced?
  • 3 Commit your work to the Lord, then it will succeed. 4The Lord has made everything for his own purposes—even the wicked for punishment.
  • 5Pride disgusts the Lord. Take my word for it—proud men shall be punished. 6 Iniquity is atoned for by mercy and truth; evil is avoided by reverence for God.
  • 7When a man is trying to please God, God makes even his worst enemies to be at peace with him. 8 A little gained honestly is better than great wealth gotten by dishonest means. 9 We should make plans—counting on God to direct us.
  • We should not forget the vow the devil made to God, after he lost the kingdom of heaven. We use daily happenings to x-ray his tricks and antics.
  • See the slogan “it is better to make money and die young than to die at old age poor” what will I tell my mother if I don’t make? They will reply it would be very shameful”.
  • He the devil has closed their hearts of reasoning to see many that have died without making it, what has become of their mothers. Even the mothers are the ones sponsoring their youths to join their colleagues in doing whatever they are doing.
  • Youths also have a role to renew and refresh the current status of our society including leadership skills and innovations. ~Hussain Hamzahx
  • It is better to work with God as co-labourers in His vineyard than to be a spectator in the things of God. As children of God born in God’s holy family, we should not shy away from our responsibilities. When you are working in His farm, He is also working seriously in your own farm.
  • Bear in mind that the worth of a family are being measured by the qualities of progressive individuals found in that family. Anybody whose impact is not felt in the family is dead while he is alive. He is regarded as a living dead.
  • If from time to time no one feels your impact, you will be totally forgotten like a dead person, whose memories fade away with time, until it vanishes completely from the minds of people.
  • Follow me to the scriptures, the gospel according to the book of Ecclesiastics chapter 12 verse 1 through 6 Don’t let the excitement of being young cause you to forget about your Creator. Honor him in your youth before the evil years come—when you’ll no longer enjoy living.
  •  
  • Seek Him while He may be found, for there will come a time when He will be too far from your reach. Don’t wait for too long, so that the life boat will not leave you behind. Remember the message the Almighty asked us to consider titled “As it was in the days of Noah, as it was in the days of Lot: (Mystery Revealed).
  • The scripture recorded that there was a population explosion, people engulfed themselves with the cares of this life ranging from buying and selling, marrying and being given in marriage, building of houses, and merriments that they never knew when Noah entered the ark, Lot left the city and they were all destroyed.
  • 2It will be too late then to try to remember him when the sun and light and moon and stars are dim to your old eyes, and there is no silver lining left among your clouds.
  • 3For there will come a time when your limbs will tremble with age, your strong legs will become weak, and your teeth will be too few to do their work, and there will be blindness too.
  • 4Then let your lips be tightly closed while eating when your teeth are gone! And you will waken at dawn with the first note of the birds; but you yourself will be deaf and tuneless, with quavering voice.
  • 5You will be afraid of heights and of falling—a white-haired, withered old man, dragging himself along: without sexual desire, standing at death’s door, and nearing his everlasting home as the mourners go along the streets.
  • 6Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young—before the silver cord of life snaps and the gold bowl is broken; before the pitcher is broken at the fountain and the wheel is broken at the cistern;
  • 7then the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 8All is futile, says the Preacher; utterly futile.
  • This stage is a stage of self-encouragement. This is where I will draw my topic. “TIME FOR SELF-ENCOURAGEMENT.” You are either encouraging yourself to your damnation or encouraging yourself to your justification. You can only encourage yourself with what you have. If what you have cannot encourage you, it then means you are a failure. For every drowning man has a quote he lays hold unto.While the message is going forth, does it condemn you or justify you? What feeling do you have when you hear the Word of God? Is it spurring you into right action or into wrong action? Time for self-encouragement. Encouragement can be either into good works or bad works. You can encourage yourself into any facet of life. However we are talking of encouraging yourself unto good works.

CALL YOURSELF TO ODER

Where you stand in your youth is where you are going to seat in your old age. So, walk to earn a good reputation before the Lord, now that you are still young.

  • Remember we all opened account in God’s bank and one day all our savings will be brought to account and He will reward every man according to works.
  • Dear fellow youth call yourself to order, ask yourself this question; who are you, and why are you here (the earth)? Why am I here, why are you here? Are you fulfilling that purpose for which cause God called and ordained you? This is not meant for only ordained ministers but to all; both male and female.
  • The scripture told us that we should not think that God created you and I aimlessly. He gave every man, every woman, every child, gifts and talents for his personal use and purpose.
  • Are you successful in life? Being successful means finding out why God created you and that you are fulfilling it. Have you discovered why God created you? Have you fulfilled it? Remember God gave everyone an individual task which he or she must achieve.
  • Follow me to the holy writings of Allah; in Surah chapter 3 verse 189 through 191 (Surah 3:189 – 191) “To Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and Allah hath power over all things.
  •  Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day,- there are indeed Signs for men of understanding, Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the thought): “Our Lord! Not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire.

– [Yusuf Ali translation]                       

  • And Allah’s is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and Allah is Powerful over all things. Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day there are absolutely Signs for Ulûl elbâb (those who are the owners of the innermost secret treasures of Allah because of their attaining to a continuous remembrance of Allah).
  • Those (ulûl elbab,those who are the owners of the innermost secret treasures of Allah) who remember (repeat the Name of) Allah standing and sitting and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth. (And say) “Our Lord! You have not created (all) this in vain, Glory be to You; Protect us then from the torment of the Fire”! [Imam Iskender Ali Mihr translation].
  • As the ministers of the gospel of Christ, number one aim of God including you in His lists of ministers is to propagate the gospel to the entire human race, starting with you and your families, because they say “charity begins at home”.
  • The best way of propagating the truth you have believed is through your character.
  • That is why the scripture said “live me a sermon, don’t preach me a sermon. So, you ask yourself this pertinent question, are you living your life in accordance to the teachings of Christ? I also ask myself the same question; am I living the life of truth which I have said Amen to?
  • So, brother, sister, child, and adult call yourself to order from time to time. It is pertinent that you have a second look at yourself once again.
  • Ask yourself this important question WHY ARE YOU HERE? And that leads me to the title of this little exhortation.The title is WHY AM I HERE? WHY ARE YOU HERE?
  • In the message titled “REDEEMING THE TIME FOR THE DAYS ARE EVIL Part 2 Preached On 1st May 2021 By Deacon David Mbah page 31 verse 4 there is a reminder there.
  • At this point in our journey, there is need for a reflective insight into the state of our being as Elect of God. Pertinent questions should be asked at this very moment with a view to knowing one’s position in Christ.
  • In the Message, BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION VOL. 2 PART 2; preached on Sunday 25th May 2015; by Evangelist Ben Okezue Pg. 34 vs. 12 – 14,self-evaluating questions, call to order questions were asked aimed at calling the individuals to order.
  • “Brethren, now that we are tidying up, we should sit down and ask ourselves questions. WHAT IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ALMIGHTY GOD? WHAT IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FAMILY? WHAT IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY BRETHREN? WHAT IS MY STAND WITH THE HEATHENS CONCERNING MY FAITH? These four things, we must surely consider them.
  • [1] My relationship with Almighty [2] My relationship with my family, my wife, my husband, my children. [3] My relationship with the Brethren, all that are purchased of Christ; the Household of God generally worldwide, [4] Then, my stand concerning my Faith among the heathens.
  • These are the things you must consider now as we are tidying up. Anything that will make us unworthy that day, please, God is saying we should avoid it.”
  • WHAT IS MY ATTITUDE TOWARDS GOD AND HIS WORD? WHAT IS MY ATTITUDE TOWARDS MY BRETHREN IN LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH? WHAT IS MY ATTITUDE TOWARDS MY CALLING IN CHRIST? WHAT IS MY ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE WORLD AND THE THINGS OF THE WORLD?
  • WHAT DOES THE ETERNAL FUTURE HOLD FOR ME WITH THE CHOICES I HAVE PRESENTLY MADE? WHERE AM I ENDING IT?
  • As long as we are still alive and it is not yet late, we have every right and opportunity to make bold decisions as were taken by some of the legends of this same pilgrim journey, whose exploits were recorded for our encouragement.
  • The best bold decision one can make is the one he or she made that will lead him or her back to God, by holistically realizing the major reason behind his or her commission. Whosoever defines his own purpose of creation rest at nothing until he fulfils his or her mission.
  • Success in the life of every child of God is not measured by the amount of wealth he has acquired, level attained in the society but by his or her ability in recognizing why God created him, and actualizing or fulfilling the purpose of his or her creation.
  • Have you realized and fulfilled your own? Strive harder because time is not on our side now. This is not the time to give ourselves over completely to pursuit of material things of this world to the neglect of our lives. He whose house is on fire does not go after rats but all efforts geared towards to putting off the fire.
  • Romans 13 verse 11 – 14 MSG “11-14 But make sure that you don’t get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God.
  • Make sure that you don’t get absorbed in the world, for nothing good is left in the world now. Make sure you hold everything as a dead man desires them. It does not mean you should stop working for your needs, no it said pursue everything as a stranger in a foreign land.
  • The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed.
  • God is putting finishing touches on His salvation work, so if we are wise and intelligent nobody should persuade us to enter the life boat that is beckoning us come!
  • A song writer wrote in his song titled the life boat “The lifeboat soon is coming, by eyes of faith I see. As she sweeps through the waters, to rescue you and me. And land us safely in the port with friends we love so dear. “Get ready,” cries the Captain; “Oh, look, she’s almost here.”
  • Get ready cries the captain, who is putting finishing touches on his salvation work which started 5000 years ago and in your own and my own day, He is wrapping it up. Please my dear brothers and sisters this golden opportunity should not be played with but take it very serious.
  • Oh, now’s the time to get on board, while she is passing by; BUT IF YOU STAND AND WAIT TOO LONG, YOU SHALL FOREVER DIE; the fare is paid for one and all, the Captain bids you come, and get on board the lifeboat, She’ll carry you safely home.
  • If you wait too long the life boat will pass you by and you would regret all the days of your life.
  • We can’t afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don’t loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!
  • See the more reason why you should give ear to this all important reminder and call from the Almighty, as we consider the message RESISTING THE DEVIL.
  • RESISTING THE DEVIL PREACHED BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE KING OF SALEM ON 17TH APRIL, 2020; PAGE 65 VERSE 25 – 28 “That is why such hardened powerful, obstinate, unrepentant and impenetrable hearts are never afraid of hell because they have made up their minds;
  • “This is a place where almost the whole world is going. Let me follow them. Let me follow them. Does the death that involves many people trouble the heart? Am I the only one to die? If the whole world is going there I will follow them”.
  • But he will not realize that he is going there for eternity. He will not even ask himself the question, “While you lived on earth, what did you achieve? What and what gave you joy? What did you gain in the world that will warrant you to go and languish in hell till eternity?”
  • Some people might have gained the world but lost their soul. Did you gain the world? No! And you are losing your soul. Double tragedy! Double tragedy!
  • Have you seen why you should pursue and value eternal life more than anything else? The political class of the world, the celebrities, the clergies, the wealthy business men and women   may have gained the world, and lost their soul.
  • But to you here; what will you use as to why you missed paradise? You have no shelter of your own, you have no sound education, in business you have nothing to show, in positions of all sorts you are nowhere to be found and you are nobody; to rough life (I mean, you are not numbered among the city boys) those who ruin the city, and yet this priceless gift God has given to you and I, you are not in possession of it.
  • God has given us this wonderful gift not because we merited it, but because He wants to use the base things of this world to confound the wise. It happened that you and I are the privileged individuals whom the Lord counted worthy to be used to bring the wisdom and knowledge of philosophers of this world to nothing.
  •  Why can’t you come to term with God, so that His plan for us could materialize?
  • There is no virtue in turning away from God, but there is virtue in turning away from every form of wickedness and running back to God.
  • The same message page 69 verse 13 – 16 SO, YOU THAT NEVER MADE ANYTHING AND YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE IT NOW, ARE YOU NOT FOOLING YOURSELF”.
  • That is why what everybody is doing now is total surrender to God. All of us have now become members of Islam. You better surrender to God so that He can give you home. What is your home? Eternal life.
  • I am asking my fellow youths this question. Are you among those that are surrendering to God? Are you now a member of Islam? Is eternal life or MONEY your goal?
  • You better change your mind now and start retracing your steps before you plunge yourself into the region of the lost, where you will only have repentance but cannot change.
  • Even the devil repented but he can never change again. It is like a prisoner who has been condemned to death repenting in the prison custody, it is a useless repentance because he wasted his period of grace and the law cannot be changed.


As it is written, Behold I am laying in Zion a Stone that will make men stumble, a Rock that will make them fall; but he who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] shall not be put to shame nor be disappointed in his expectations.

[Romans 10:33 AMP]

THERE IS NO DISAPPOINTMENT IN

SERVING THE LORD

Those who said they made money have wasted it.  Houses are lost. Business, lost. Academics, lost. Everything, lost.

  • But there is one thing that can never get lost. That is heritage of God. Your soul can never get lost. Forfeit the whole world and save your soul. Save your soul!
  • According to JR and Johnson Oatman Jr. (Baptist Hymnal, 1991) in their song titled “count your blessings,” last stanza said “when you look at others with their lands and gold, think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold; count your many blessings, money cannot buy. Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
  • So, amid the conflict, whether great or small, do not be discouraged, God is over all; count your many blessings, angels will attend, help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
  • He said, think about the promises of God, He made to you and I which money cannot buy. He further said we should comfort ourselves with these words of promise from God.
  • Remember He promised all that has been happening all these years, so also this one time promise he made before we were born must surely come to pass. And it is about to happen, as we can see the signs of the end as prophesized in the scriptures.
  • Forfeit this world and cling to God, for there is no disappointment in serving the Lord. If God can supply the whole world air, sunlight, life without getting tired, is it providing your daily needs that He cannot do? The truth of the matter is that man wants to grab the whole world.
  • The greatest pressure mounted on man is the one he mounted on himself because he wants to satisfy the world’s expectation to the detriment of his dear soul. Man’s honest attempt to meet up to societal pressure has led him to indulge in all ungodly acts.
  • I have seen competition in everything but I have not seen competition in serving the lord, only just a few individuals work hard to serve the Lord according his will. To those few He has given the right of ownership of his Kingdom.
  • So, let us strive to be numbered among those God will recognize their contributions in spreading the good tidings round the world.
  • To the youths once again, let us consider the scriptures; the gospel according to the book of Ecclesiastics chapter 11 verse 9 – 10 “Young man, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it!
  • Do all you want to; take in everything, but realize that you must account to God for everything you do. So banish grief and pain, but remember that youth, with a whole life before it, can make serious mistakes”.
  • Young man, young woman, it is wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it! The only place where a young man, young woman can enjoy his life is in Christ. Because in Christ you are protected, you are advised to live godly, you are garrisoned to do God a service according to his will for you.
  • Ecclesiastics chapter 12 verse 1 – 3 don’t let the excitement of being young cause you to forget about your Creator. Honor him in your youth before the evil years come—when you’ll no longer enjoy living.
  • 2It will be too late then to try to remember him when the sun and light and moon and stars are dim to your old eyes, and there is no silver lining left among your clouds.
  • 3For there will come a time when your limbs will tremble with age, your strong legs will become weak, and your teeth will be too few to do their work, and there will be blindness too.
  • Utilize your youthful stage in serving the Lord’s interest. Do not be carried away by the powers you possess in your youth, for it is the shortest in life. This is because any time the night becomes too thick and very difficult to see clearly, a new dawn is about to unfold.
  • The gap between the youthful stage and old age is the shortest, and that is why any mistake made in the youthful stage can hardly be corrected. If it is corrected the scar left remains indelible in the heart of the bearer.
  • Follow me, let us consider the message titled Ordination of Pastors Volume 1, preached by Apostle Peter Odoemena, on the 1st April, 2018; page 55 verse 23 “As a young man, this is your time. The extent you yield yourself to God’s service will determine the extent God will use you.
  • So, go back to the message titled, “Commitment,” you will have a lot to learn there. “Commitment”.
  • The extent you and I yield ourselves to God service, is the extent God will use us. So, for God to use a man or woman the desire must be there, followed by action, and this action explains or brings your desires and aspirations into focus.
  • 1 Timothy 4 verse 1 – 2 “But the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some in the church will turn away from Christ and become eager followers of teachers with devil-inspired ideas. 2These teachers will tell lies with straight faces and do it so often that their consciences won’t even bother them”.  LB
  • These days the youths have turned away from God, nobody has the desire, the zeal to do God a service according to his precept. But this should not be so with us that have known the truth, seeing that all that were prophesized about the end of the world are here with us.
  • What else do you need to see or hear before you turn away from every unrighteous living and run back to God? Has there been anybody whom the world celebrated because he made money? All I know that were celebrated both in the past and present, have been those that contributed positively to the society.
  • Verse 7 – 10 “Don’t waste time arguing over foolish ideas and silly myths and legends. Spend your time and energy in the exercise of keeping spiritually fit. Bodily exercise is all right, but spiritual exercise is much more important and is a tonic for all you do.
  •  So exercise yourself spiritually, and practice being a better Christian because that will help you not only now in this life, but in the next life too. 9-10 This is the truth and everyone should accept it.
  • We work hard and suffer much in order that people will believe it, for our hope is in the living God who died for all, and particularly for those who have accepted his salvation”. LB
  • Spend your time and energy in the exercise of being spiritually fit, other than wasting your energy in chasing the wind when you know that they can never save you when death strikes or come to rescue you on the day the Lord will visit your inequity.
  •  Then the devil will laugh you to scorn because you abandoned the truth which you proclaimed and accepted to be true and followed the way of the ungodly.
  •  Verse 11 – 14 “Teach these things and make sure everyone learns them well. We are on a rescue mission now, so you rescue your family from the impending danger and transfer all to the kingdom of light; God’s asylum for all the believers of truth from God.
  • 12Don’t let anyone think little of you because you are young. Be their ideal; let them follow the way you teach and live; be a pattern for them in your love, your faith, and your clean thoughts. (LB).
  • Do not look down on yourself and neglect the evil manifestation going on in your family, so that you would be justified if they were told and failed to listen.
  • 13 Until I get there, read and explain the Scriptures to the church; preach God’s Word. 14Be sure to use the abilities God has given you through his prophets when the elders of the church laid their hands upon your head. 
  • Be sure to use your abilities which God bestowed on you to serve the Lord and strive to meet up with his righteous demands.
  •  15Put these abilities to work; throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone may notice your improvement and progress. 16Keep a close watch on all you do and think. Stay true to what is right and God will bless you and use you to help others”.
  •  Monitor yourself with the word of God concerning the things you do and think, always strive to stay true to what is right and God will bless you. For God has never and will never allow one who serves him well to go begging bread, and it would not start with you.
  •  I am specifically talking to the youth who have blatantly abandoned God and are on the high way to destruction because they want to meet up with the societal pressure, other than giving their whole allegiance to Allah according Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
  • When Hazrat Madhi (as) appears, abandon everything and run to Him by all possible means, because He is the Caliph of Allah and my heir. (Biharal-Anwar, vol.51, P.65; Al-Hurral-Amili, Ithbat al-Hudat, Vol.6, P.382).
  •  If Allah permits you to see this, run to swear allegiance to Him [follow Him] and never abandon Him. If you are successful, never abandon Him, if you reach Him and find the true path.
  • We are the most privileged people on earth, whom the Lord counted worthy to be numbered among those whom He could bestow positions, tasks, and assignments.
  • Any day we realize and acknowledge the fact that there are many of our mates both dead and alive whom God has closed his heart against, and marked them for destruction by giving their hearts over to reprobate spirit, so that hearing, they would hear without understanding, seeing they would see without perceiving, lest they hear, see, repent and their willful disobedient of the truth will be forgiven them, you must without looking back run fastest back to God, for He is the Caliph of Allah.
  •  Ah- and he pointed to his chest – how I long to see Him. Let nothing hold you back from swearing allegiance to Him [from being His follower, from following Him] those who hold you back are those who have always sought refuge in corruption.
  • Let nothing withhold you from swearing allegiance to God, who has given you and I the privilege of working in His vineyard.
  • Please my fellow youth allow God to immerse you with His spirit and His life, by forfeiting the attractions that are in the world which is the main reason why the youths have turned their back on God, so that we could bear fruits meet for the master’s need.
  •  If they speak, they speak evil, and if they are silent, they are impious and perverse (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, P.252); Page 39 verses 41-42.
  • Let us crosscheck the bible once again, as we consider the book according the gospel of James 4 verse 1 – 7 “What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn’t it because there is a whole army of evil desires within you?  The civil war in a man, fighting daily in his heart, and to whosoever spirit he yields to, controls him.
  • 2You want what you don’t have, so you kill to get it.You want to be like your mates in the world. And who are your mates if I may ask? Your mates are those that are growing up with you in the faith of Christ, who pursue the same course with you, those that are under the guiding principle and watching eyes of the most high.
  • You long for what others have, and can’t afford it, so you start a fight to take it away from them.You desire for what you do not have and in the attempt to get that which you want, you set aside the wholesome truth which you confirmed to be true, and go the ways of the heathens who knew not God.
  • And yet the reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t ask God for it. 
  • From experiences of others that left and abandoned the faith, went in pursuance of the earthly wealth, you will see and believe that there is no headway for anybody who has tasted this faith and left.
  •  It could only work if only God wants to plot coup against himself, which you and I know very well that it can never happen. For God is not the author of confusion.
  • And even when you do ask you don’t get it because your whole aim is wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.
  • God watches over your motives for embarking on anything, before He could intervene in your case. So, if you want to live a fulfilled life, a life filled with inward joy and satisfaction, then make God your companion, and your all and all.
  • You are like an unfaithful wife who loves her husband’s enemies. Don’t you realize that making friends with God’s enemies—the evil pleasures of this world—makes you an enemy of God?  Who is a friend of God?
  • A friend of God is one who holistically submits to the teachings of Christ without any iota of hypocrisy in him or her; one who successfully recognizes his role as a child born in the family of God and does it with joy without persuasion.
  • I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy the evil pleasure of the unsaved world, you cannot also be a friend of God. 
  • Those that take pleasure in enjoying the world, one who easily mixes up with the worldly activities and mingles readily with the world without any restraint, can never be a friend of God.
  •  That person does not have a living conscience because there is a place you will find yourself without being told, you will be discomforted, your spirit smiting you.
  • Or what do you think the Scripture means when it says that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, watches over us with tender jealousy? But he gives us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings.
  • God gives us more strength to withstand any such lifestyles tempting our conscience, which may come through peer group, social influences and external influences.
  • As the Scripture says, God gives strength to the humble but sets himself against the proud and haughty. Even though God is the strength of the humble, He is also a consuming fire that destroys the proud and arrogant.
  •  We all know the Son of Man as the most compassionate God, the most loving father, the most tolerant and so on, do not forget the fact that in his compassion, love, mercy and peace, He is also the God of equity and justice, who judges without favouritism.
  •  So, my fellow youths; remember God gave us the task of salvaging our families from hellfire, by taking the steering from our fathers whom their legs are shaking. Their legs are shaking because they played away the period of their youths and they are paying for it now.
  •  That is why the Almighty told us that where you are standing in your youth determines where you will sit down in your old age, when you won’t have the strength to run again. This is the more reason why we should build our savings accounts with God, so that on the day of accounting you could have something to withdraw from your account.
  •  As ministers of the gospel of Christ, ordained and commissioned into the business of reconciling men to God, what is your testimony now? Are you among the walking dead or living bodies?
  • Anybody whose impact is not felt by the community of God’s people is dead.

Are we not youths? Youths! Arise and shine. It is your time. Are we not the people to whom the message is coming? Are you looking at your parents? Youths arise and shine. Are we not the youths? I need a response. Are we not the youths? We are the youths. Then what is happening? “Arise and shine”, is it in the Lord or in the devil? In the Lord. But what is happening? You are arising and shining in what? The devil. It is very sad to say.

BYEVANGELIST CHIBUIKEM ODOEMENA

YOUTH! ARISE AND SHINE, FOR IT IS YOUR TIME Preached On Sunday 17th October, 2021 Pg 69:27-28

RISE UP OH YOUTH; TAKE THE STEERING FROM YOUR FATHERS

In the message titled THINGS YOU MUST WATCH OUT FOR O YOUTH MINISTERS [VOLUME 1] Preached On Sunday 14th July, 2019, by APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE INDEFATIGABLE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP OF SALVATION, THE KING OF SALEM; page 39:11 – 20 “ARISE AND SHINE, O YOUTH FOR YOUR HOUR HAS COME.

  • And this is the hour when the faith of your ancient fathers who have backslidden in the spirit will be pointed to your reach.
  • If you want anybody to be saved in your family, and you are numbered among the youth here, male and female, rise up! I say, rise up!
  • Your parents are asleep. All your parents have fallen asleep, spiritually again. Not even one is standing erect. Their legs are shaking. Their hands are shaking. Their hearts have strayed away from the true God.
  • The cares of this life have enveloped almost all of them. The same way, their wives have been consumed completely by the cares of this life. Not even one is standing up again.
  • So, if you want a soul to be salvaged in your family, being numbered among the youth, rise up right now and rescue your family from disaster?For you to save somebody first, you must save yourself. You can only be featured in a game of play if only you are an active player who maintains his wing very well.
  • Take the steering from your fathers! Take whatever might be the domestic chores from your mothers, and see whether you can help them to wake up from slumber.
  • This is not the time to idle away our time. Remember, true blessings, promotions, wealth and every other good things cometh from the Lord. Therefore seek yea the kingdom of God, its righteousness and every other thing will be added unto you.
  • Arise he that sleepest, the night is far spent, it is not for your parents anymore. It is for you youths.
  • Time is not on our side brothers and sisters, so let us give up all that could cause us to be dropped in the end and walk ourselves into the life boat passing by right now.
  • Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. [Ephesians 5:14].KJV
  • The night is far spent, the day is at hand let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. [Romans 13:12] KJV
  • Arise and shine, for the Light is come, for the glory of God is risen upon you. THIS IS YOUR DAY. I say, this is your day. You must possess the things meant for your own day.
  • It’s time to take charge of your God given position, which was assigned to you and me even before we were conceived in our mother’s womb and make full proof of our calling in Christ, for that is the only way we were ordained to go.
  • He that sleeps over his problem, instead of solving it is compounding the problem ignorantly. It’s like dropping out from school, if because of one course you drop out of school, if you must be certified by that school, you must clear all the backlogs you had before leaving the school.
  •  Even if you applied for admission to pursue any other program, if you must get the crown, you must clear all your papers. There is no shortcut with God. You must walk through this strait path, already established.
  • I am telling you, if you check the population of Nigeria, our productive youth, males and females are in the majority. It is true that a good number of them are jobless. Yes!
  • The salvation of your families are now in your hands, O youth both male and female alike. Let us all rise up and rescue this ship of salvation from capsizing and killing all.
  •  Same message page 56 verse 7 Now, young men, rise up and rescue your team from defeat. Remember. If this ship capsizes, your lives are involved. Is it not true? If you allow this ship to capsize or shipwreck, your life is involved. Sisters, you are equally involved”.
  •  Sisters are equally involved! Do not say thank God I am a woman. No! God gave everybody individual gifts and positions, so use your position as a wife, save your family like in the case of Esther and King Ahasuerus.
  • Do not keep quiet if your husbands are not performing, a word of encouragement, a word of advice would go a long way in resuscitating the dead spirit. 
  • Same message page 60 verse 15 – 17 All of you that love the LORD and that have been salvaged from iniquity, rest at nothing until you see righteousness reign in the Bride of Christ. And it begins with your family.
  •  How does it begin? Wake your husband from that deep sleep. Wake them up. All of them have slept before the time. One that goes to bed before the appointed time must surely wake up before day break.
  •  And that is why many of them are suffering great setbacks. They declared themselves old. Declared themselves Elders, which THE SON OF MAN never made them”.
  •  In another message titled “I AM THE WORD” volume one, preached by Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man, on 19thJanuary, 2014; page 33 verses 32 – 34, it said Every man, every woman has a ministry as far as I am concerned. You have a ministry, I have a ministry. You must strive to make foolproof of your ministry.
  •  If you do not strive to make foolproof of it, nobody can do it for you. If you fail, you have failed. If you succeed, you have succeeded.
  • I am not trying to be hash on anybody, no, why should I? However, I try as much as I can to be straight forward with everybody, to be sincere to the core; so that in the day when all the deeds of all mankind shall be brought to judgment, I will not be found wanting.
  •  I do not want to have a problem on the way, at all! And nobody will ever create a problem for Me.
  • Do not allow anybody to create a problem for you. Whether your husband, your wife, your daughter, your son, I do not care who that person might be.  May you never permit anybody to create a problem for you, especially at this dying minute”
  •  Both man and woman has a ministry and must strive to make full proof of his or her own. If you fail to fulfil your own, nobody will fulfil it for you. So, all hands must be on the desk and never allow anybody or anything to come in between. Salvation is an individual matter.
  •   In the message titled spiritual accountability, it said “what decision are you making, am I making to improve my ministry? Or do you want to be numbered among the living dead?”
  • Anyone whose impacts is not felt by his family, community or society is as good as a dead man or woman yet alive.
  •  You need to make noise from your own angle so that the father of us all will recognize that there is someone bearing that name. I believe that one of the major reasons why animals make noise any time somebody is passing by their side is to notify the person that they are alive and awake.
  •  Sometimes, newborn babies behave better than most of us, in that if they feel their mother ignored them or left them alone on the bed, they would start crying furiously as if something bit them. Nothing wrong happened to them only that they want to express themselves before their mother, so that their mother will remember that they are there.
  •  Remember no coach gives a customized jersey to a player that is off-form. The Lord encouraged us to strive to be among the crew members instead of passengers in a plane. Cabin crews are being paid by airline authorities but passengers pay for their trip.
  •  Spiritual Accountability preached by Apostle Chukwudi Odoemena on 26th June, 2020; page 162 verse 46 – 51 “What decision are you making to improve your own ministry as a child of God? Or are you just following? Anything they are doing let me join them.
  • What has been your commitment to the ministry? How have you committed yourself? How have you dedicated yourself to this ministry?
  • Do you want to progress or remain stagnant? Once you see your ministry by revelation as a calling in Christ, you must constantly strive to make sure at all times that your “calling and election” stands sure.
  • I want you to see it as a Ministry. I see it that I am living this life of Christ and not myself. And that at all times, my calling and election stands sure. And by this way, God will reject every accusation from the devil.
  • This is because God has seen the decision you have made, so He will not start feeling faint hearted asking, “Why did I select this person as My Elect?”
  • Because some people have wasted their days of grace and it has made God to regret choosing them. Let us not be among those people.Amen.
  • May we not be numbered among those God will regret ever choosing, bringing close to himself, and may our end be better than our beginning.
  •  Father of all spirits harken to our earnest desires, prayers and give us your backing. Help us to pass through this path of righteousness and remain steadfast unto the end. Amen!

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

  •  

[2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 NIV]

WE ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSEDORS

The same message page 169 verse 66 – 69 “So at all time, let us continue to keep ourselves on that track. God told us that as children of God we have limitations.

  • Once you cross that boundary where God’s mercy and grace will reach you the next thing is judgment.
  • So if you have been acting wrongly, retract because, from now on, you have had the knowledge that you are now divinely accountable to God, now knowing God not only as a God of love but also as the God of justice who does not only acquit a repentant sinner, but also condemns an elect who decided and flagrantly and willfully rejected His word.
  • So let us not come to that point where you will start rioting with the Word of God. Let us continue to make sure that we are maintaining a healthy relationship with God.
  • Let us have it at the back of our minds that you are not accountable to me. You are not accountable to the Pastor in charge of your household, but you are accountable to God. You are accountable to God”.
  •  Dear saints of God, I strongly believed that a word is enough for the wise, let us all meditate on what we have heard, turn around, sit up and assume our positions fully. So that we will be courageous to come before our father, who rewards every man according to his works shall be.
  •  2 Corinthians 5 verse 1 – 21 “For we know that if the tent which is our earthly home is destroyed (dissolved), we have from God a building, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
  • 2Here indeed, in this [present abode, body], we sigh and groan inwardly, because we yearn to be clothed over [we yearn to put on our celestial body like a garment, to be fitted out] with our heavenly dwelling,
  • 3So that by putting it on we may not be found naked (without a body).
  • 4For while we are still in this tent, we groan under the burden and sigh deeply (weighed down, depressed, oppressed)—not that we want to put off the body (the clothing of the spirit), but rather that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal (our dying body) may be swallowed up by life [after the resurrection].
  • 5Now He Who has fashioned us [preparing and making us fit] for this very thing is God, Who also has given us the [Holy] Spirit as a guarantee [of the fulfillment of His promise].
  • 6So then, we are always full of good and hopeful and confident courage; we know that while we are at home in the body, we are abroad from the home with the Lord [that is promised us].
  • 7For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.
  • 8[Yes] we have confident and hopeful courage and are pleased rather to be away from home out of the body and be at home with the Lord.
  • 9Therefore, whether we are at home [on earth away from Him] or away from home [and with Him], we are constantly ambitious and strive earnestly to be pleasing to Him.
  • 10For we must all appear and be revealed as we are before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive [his pay] according to what he has done in the body, whether good or evil [considering what his purpose and motive have been, and what he hasachieved, been busy with, and given himself and his attention to accomplishing].
  • 11Therefore, being conscious of fearing the Lord with respect and reverence, we seek to win people over [to persuade them]. But what sort of persons we are is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood by God, and I hope that it is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood also by your consciences (your inborn discernment).
  • 12We are not commending ourselves to you again, but we are providing you with an occasion and incentive to be [rightfully] proud of us, so that you may have a reply for those who pride themselves on surface appearances [on the virtues they only appear to have], although their heart is devoid of them.
  • 13For if we are beside ourselves [mad, as some say], it is for God and concerns Him; if we are in our right mind, it is for your benefit,
  • 14For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died;
  • 15And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake.
  • 16Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a [purely] human point of view [in terms of natural standards of value]. [No] even though we once did estimate Christ from a human viewpoint and as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no longer [in terms of the flesh].
  • 17Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!
  • 18But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].
  • 19It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor).
  • 20So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.
  • 21For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].
  •  Remain in your sanctified estate as you continue pressing on to the future, holding unto the profession of your faith without wavering till the end.
  • Keep on studying and meditating on the engrafted word of God, revealed in our day, so that it would be transferred from the book to our individual hearts, by so doing we will escape by flight the holocaust coming upon the heads of the disobedient ones.
  • On this note I say, thank you and remain blessed in him eternally.
