IF YOU DO NOT SERVE GOD RIGHTLY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CLAIM ETERNAL LIFE VOLUME 1

IF YOU DO NOT SERVE GOD RIGHTLY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CLAIM ETERNAL LIFE VOLUME 1 ON Sunday 18^th September 2022 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN The LORD God Almighty

Transcribed by Deacon David Mbah, Students’ Fellowship, MOUAU, Abia State.

¹¹For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. ¹²Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. ¹³Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. ¹⁴I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I E4SEwill release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.

Jeremiah 29:11 – 14 Amplified version

I am warning all human beings on earth in the stead of Christ our Lord to be very very careful in these last days we are living in. I am very much aware that many false Apostles, Prophets, Messengers must surely come in these last days in the name of Jesus Christ claiming that the Lord called them and sent them out for one thing or the other. Please be very patient and watchful. The presence of these false men and women is in line with the Holy Scriptures. If these things do not happen, how can the Scriptures be fulfilled. At the same time, God will send His own true Prophets, Messengers and Apostles with supernatural signs and vindications for His own perfect purpose for His own people. These two (true and false) will walk side by side, so close to each other that if it is possible, the Elect will be deceived……

HOW PEOPLE MISS GOD IN ALL THE AGES; (Undated); Pg. 49 vs. 205 – 207

PROLOGUE

Remain blessed Brethren. You are welcome to the presence of God this morning. And we thank God Who has not just given us the privilege but the grace to still remain alive and active in the Faith of Christ, wherein we are born and wherein we express allegiance.

We have no other business and no other duty today other than to worship Him. In recognition of that, I want every soul who is here to use his or her heart and soul to worship God and to render acceptable service unto God.
Just like the song says, our only aim we need in this life is to be like God. All through our life’s journey, this is the only hope that makes us stand high amidst all our sorrows, amidst all our troubles and amidst all our pains, knowing fully well that there is just one day known unto Him when he shall perfect all that He has started in us.
So while we worship God, let us worship Him with all our heart.
While we remain bowing down, let the Pastor open this Gathering with a word of prayer.

PRAYER

Holy Father, the Great Jehovah, The Ancient of Days, the I AM that I AM, Father, we thank you for bringing us to Your presence this morning.
Father, we THANK YOU for keeping us alive in the flesh and in the spirit this day. Father, we thank you for Your sustenance. We thank you for Your divine providence.
We THANK YOU, for You never allowed us to be numbered among the living-dead. Father, we THANK YOU for You are doing everything You know that is best for us.
For the fact that human beings are always the enemies of themselves, You love us more than we love ourselves. Father, we thank you for this singular act.
Father, we thank you for You have been sustaining us. Through thick and thin, Father, You have been there for us. We have never gone through any sorrowful situation and You left us behind. We have never gone through any situation that does not require flesh and blood to overcome and You stayed behind watching.
Father, You have always been there for us in every situation. Father, we THANK YOU that no situation ever comes our way without Your approval. Father, we THANK YOU, that we do not grope in the dark. Father, we THANK YOU for You have been that Great Light that has been lighting our ways from the origin till this very moment. Father, we are very much appreciative.
LORD, if we give ourselves to You, You own us. Is there anything in the world we can offer you? You own the whole world. Everything above and beneath the earth, You own all.
Therefore LORD, we come before You with just our hearts to say, THANK YOU Father. There is nothing else we can say, except THANK YOU LORD.
As we have gathered this morning, make us to be qualified to stand before Your presence because no flesh is qualified to stand before You in any form or shape.
Therefore LORD, we pray that Your Spirit will sanctify our hearts and make us worthy to stand before You so that our standing will never turn out to be to our condemnation. Rather, we pray that any time You look at us, You rejoice greatly.
Father, we are not the only ones that have gathered to worship You this morning. With the eyes of faith, we can also see our fellow Saints that are gathered worldwide.
LORD divine, we lift them up before You this morning. Give them that which they need to know this day – the food for the hour so that every one of us shall be sustained by Thy Spirit and by the experience which Your Spirit has espoused us to, and not by our own wishful thinking.
Father, we pray that all the instruments You are going to use in diverse places be filled by You and You alone.
Father, here we are. We are listening to You LORD. You said we should come. You bid us to come, and we have come. We are listening for the food You have for us even this day.
And we pray that You help us even to accept and walk in the way which Thou has provided. Father we pray that at the end of this day, every mouth, every tongue and every heart that belongeth unto You shall leap for joy.
THANK YOU once more Father for Your graciousness in our lives.
LORD, we lift before You all that are not sound. Father, You are the only One that can heal. Medications do not cure, but our faith in You does. Therefore, we pray that You please come to their rescue, wherever the sickness is coming from.
If it is from [O LORD] even our iniquities, we pray that You forgive and pardon; and that such be forgiven and pardoned forever, for anyone that is set free by THE SON OF MAN, such a person is free indeed.
We pray through the mighty Name, Peter Christ our LORD. Amen.

YOU HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE

o God be the Glory. Great things He has done. Be seated. I do not know what I have done for which cause God loves Me. God loves Me, but what I do not know is what I did for Him to love Me. But the basis of My rejoicing is that God loves Me. Yes!

Do you know what it takes for somebody to be the beloved of God? Do you know what it means that in the whole world, the population of which I do not know, God was looking for one Man, and the lot fell on Me?
A man that is nothing, despised and rejected, but the Beloved of the Father, that God should dwell in Me richly without measure, using Me as a point of reconciliation and restoration to mercy to the entire world.
What a privilege I am enjoying in His presence? Reason? I do not know. Unmerited favour. I am highly favoured. Why should I not be happy? I must be happy 24hours of the day.
Why? Blessed, happy, to be envied is the man whom the LORD does not input iniquity; In Whom dwelleth righteousness; born to righteousness. Righteousness will never depart from Him. All that will attain righteousness, will attain it through Him.
And how do you know Him? You know Him in the light of His belief, for He will be completely away from all. He will hide Himself, for He is the only God that specializes in hiding Himself.
Isaiah 45:15, AMP. ¹⁵Truly You are a God Who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
He keeps His Name secret, but reveals His titles to all mankind. Why? His name is His power. His Name is His secret.
And to you that have discovered His new Name and the power thereof, are you not a blessed people? This is because He has chosen you from among your people to be His own; chosen, consecrated, sanctified and set apart. Can you imagine? What a wonderful privilege we are enjoying.
So, Bro Clifford, has it become clear to you why you were entertaining questions upon questions, harassments and everything? They were aiming at one thing: Proving you to be worthy of His confidence. No more. No less.
They were aimed at proving him to be a member of this Family. Why? You went abroad, sojourned for 12 years and came back a new baby. You left in ignorance and came back in ignorance.
So you are being accepted as a new born babe because from the time you repented, that is when God recognized your faith. And that is the time the work of salvation begins in you.
But the time when you knew not God, you were wallowing in stupidity and ignorance. Those times of ignorance, God overlooked, and started with you from the time you turned to the only One and True God you recognized and accepted Him as the God of your salvation.
Only then has salvation come to your doorstep. Salvation from the bondage of the devil, from sin, from the world and from every kind of thing that is opposed to God. Then can you have hope of eternal life and establishing a family that can be called God’s own family, wherein fruits of righteousness will be expected to be coming out – a peaceful family.
I said it yesterday. It is now clear that God has started correcting that thing by Himself. That which they could not effect all these years, for all of them and all their homes were full of vomit, for they tailored their families after the same old, abandoned and rejected pattern that could not meet God’s righteous demands.
Hence, they produced hooligans. No peace. No understanding. No unity. No spiritual harmony, even between husband and wife, and between children born in the same family.
They raised Cains and Abels. They produced children that could not speak the language of God’s people; half Greek, half Barbarian. Half Jew, half Arab. Not even one could speak the language God can understand.
And they cannot understand God’s language. Neither can they understand His meaning for the hour. God has meaning for this hour. If you do not know that, you are out of His programme.
If God does not have meaning to you, it then means your life is meaningless. The meaning of God is reflective in My life. When you look at Me, you see what God means for mankind. You will see that He means well for all mankind. He does not mean evil.
All His prayers for man has always been that it shall be well with man. But man has not for one day tailored his ways to meet the wishes of God.
Everything pertaining to us touches the heart of God. His thoughts towards us are thoughts of peace and progress. God can never allow the evil thoughts of the enemies to fulfill in or around us, for the grace of God abundantly abounds with us.
Yes! His thoughts towards us are the thoughts of good and not of evil, to give us the best of the end.
What is My joy? That Scripture I use to quote that God knows what is best for us at all times. God’s time is the best. So you wait for God’s own time. Wait for God’s own time.
I know that God is the custodian of time. He will do His will at His own time. If I believe in His Word, He will bring to pass that which is important to me. Those who trust in God will never be put to shame throughout eternity.
I believe all with all My heart. I am not singing it because I know it is a song. It is a revelation to Me. Depend on God. Trust Him, even unto death. You will never be disappointed in this life and in the hereafter.
Simply believe in Me. I was young, but now, I am old. I have never seen a child of God forsaken not going about begging bread. It has never happened. And it will never start with you. No! He must do that which He has promised.
That is why we hold on to His promises. I hope you are hearing Me. His promises can never fail. I am standing on the promises of God that can never fail, come what may.
I do not care what the devil is suggesting or insinuating. I know that there is time for everything. When My time clocks, the LORD will come My way. Am I making sense?
An Igbo adage says that the breadfruit falls from the tree at the appropriate time. To climb the tree in order to harvest it is desperation.
If you climb the tree, you will only pluck the unripe breadfruit which will not be useful to you. Be patient. Once it is ripe, it must surely fall to the ground. Finish!
You have need of patience, so that when your obedience to the Word of God is fulfilled, you will get the promise. You have need of patience. When your obedience to the truth revealed to you in your own day is fulfilled, you must get the promise.
Upon this note, I want us to consider this Sunday School Message. The Pastor will come here. I do not know the contents, but I know it contains the Word of God, for it came from the source I cannot query, even in My dream.
So, let us open our ears. Peradventure, this morning God will bless somebody. The LORD will bless someone today. It can be you. It can be me. It can be someone by your side.
SONG: [Just another touch LORD from You to help in hard trials I pass through. Though rough may be my way, You’ve sent THE SON OF MAN. When I get another touch LORD from You
Just another touch LORD from You to help in hard trials I pass through. Though rough may be my way, You’ve sent another Guide to guide me to You at the end.]
Let us hear this Message.

Something you saw with your eyes, you heard with your ears, it happened to you as a person, can you forget it so easily? No! No man abandons God until he has forgotten what his eyes have seen, what his ears have heard and what he has passed through. No man, no woman that has definite experience with God ever forgets God. When we talk about backsliding in the heart, backsliding is a sure sign that the person has no experience. Anybody that has experience can never backslide. Thus, backsliding is only associated with people without experience.

SUSTAINED BY MY EXPERIENCE PART 1; PREACHED ON 30^TH APRIL, 2002;AT THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA PG. 53 VS. 19 – 20.

EXPERIENCE SUSTAINS

The Message is titled, IF YOU DO NOT SERVE GOD RIGHTLY, YOU HAVE NO CLAIM TO ETERNAL LIFE.

Remain blessed fellow Saints of God. God has granted us this wonderful privilege to gather in the comfort of our home. Who will believe that we are worshipping God?
For today, many believe that worshipping of God must be in a cathedral, amongst other human being. That is what church is all about to them. But look at us gathered in the comfort of our own homes. This is a great privilege.
I thank God for the Sunday School this morning. I want to continue from where the Sunday School ended by showing you all that you heard from the Apostle just now.
I am not going to do much talking, but we are going to do much reading. You will see God telling you what you just heard, for the Spirit of God is one. He will continue to help you to see things better.
When we talk about crosschecking your ticket, it is all about crosschecking your experiences in Christ. Sure!
You have an encounter. I told you as my children that I had an encounter with God. Have you also had that encounter? For Jacob had an encounter, and told his children. And Joseph had his own encounter.
All the Patriarchs! The whole Patriarchs! TESTAMENTS OF THE TWELVE PATRIARCHS confirmed that all of them had encounters with God, which sustained them. They had their various experiences.
Some were information that were passed on to them by their own father also. As we have them as our patriarchs, so they have Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob as their own patriarchs.
We are the same descendants. I say we are the same descendants of Abraham. Whether you are from the righteous one or the evil one, all of us were created from one man, Adam.
So, as you go through the TESTAMENTS OF THE TWELVE PATRIARCHS which exposes the lineage of everybody, you can trace yourself to where you emanated.
You will know whether you came from the righteous side of Adam and are numbered among the righteous descendants of Adam or from the unrighteous descendants. One father and one mother had two branches: [1] The righteous branch. [2] The evil branch. And that evil man is still there till today with his descendants.
This is to enable you who claim to be righteous or who is born righteous to assess yourself and begin to appreciate what God did for you right from the foundation of the world. He never allotted you a place with the ungodly. What a wonderful privilege worthy of praise!
So, pay attention to this Sunday School. I believe it will impart positively to the lives of all who will pay spiritual attention. Do not sleep over it.
Do not try to probe to know the person God used. He can use even your greatest enemy. He can equally use your best friend. He can even use one you least expect. Simply pay attention.
I told you as my children that I had an encounter with God. Have you also had that encounter? For Jacob had an encounter, and told his children. And Joseph had his own encounter. Every one of them had encounter.
Ishmael had encounter. All the prophets had encounter[s] with God. All, not even minus one.
That is why they always gathered their children and told them about the encounter they had. And then warned their children and prophesied of what is ahead of each of them. Sure!
That is why we have the TESTAMENTS [TESTIMONIES] OF THE PATRIARCHS. Each of them said something. They were not talking of Daddy Jacob again. No!
He has had his encounter and handed them over to the same God he met. They were now talking about the encounter they had with the God of Jacob Who is the same God of Abraham, and the same God down to Adam.
The Ancient of Days. He that liveth forever and over. From everlasting to everlasting, He remaineth the same God Who keepeth His Covenant from everlasting to everlasting. He does not shrink. He does not draw back from His Word.
That is the Personality we are talking about this morning. Amen!
You see, everything that has a beginning must have an end. Sure! So, if everything that has a beginning has an end, know it that the world has a beginning. So, the world must have an end.
And it is clear that by faith, we see the world called into existence by the Word of God, which is Christ Himself. Exactly! Is that not true? Pure truth!
And He that spoke the world into existence is equally here to speak the world to its end – to its finality. Sure! This is because without Him, the world never existed.
The present world is preserved by the Spoken Word of God. The first was destroyed by the Spoken Word. Why? It was created by the Spoken Word and destroyed by the Spoken Word. By the Spoken Word, it reproduced through Noah.
By the Spoken Word, the world we are living in is preserved till the day God will destroy it by fire that will come from the spoken Word of God. Is that not scriptural?
You see it in the Book of Peter. It is littered everywhere in the Scriptures from Old Testament to the New Testament.
2 Peter 3:5-7, AMP. ⁵For they willfully overlook and forget this [fact], that the heavens [came into] existence long ago by the word of God, and the earth also which was formed out of water and by means of water, ⁶Through which the world that then [existed] was deluged with water and perished.
⁷But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored up (reserved) for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people.
What was used to bring the world into existence, is what will be used to destroy the world.
And it is at His own final stage that he will speak it to an end. Is that not true?
So, I want us to consider a topic this morning that supports what you heard from the Sunday School. It is THUS SAITH THE LORD topic, and we want to use the Word to see why God has said what He said.
The topic I want to consider is: IF YOU DO NOT SERVE GOD RIGHTLY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CLAIM ETERNAL LIFE.
You expect it. You expect the translation of your mortal bodies like too many are now expecting their bodies to be translated. They want to put on immortality as promised by God, but did He promise that it will be to everybody?
Rather, we have heard it from His mouth several times saying, “God can do everything for you, but He will never give you that eternal life in disobedience.” He will never give you the new body in disobedience. Impossible. Lest you put on immortality with disobedient spirit.
For that reason, he removed Satan [the devil] from the tree of life, lest he will eat of it and then live forever to trouble God forever. That is why Satan knows that he has only but a limited time. There is no eternity in Satan. There is nothing everlasting in Satan. His time was programmed from the day he was chased away.
The Holy Qur’an—Surah 38:77-81, Hilali-Khan translation. ⁷⁷(Allah) said: “Then get out from here, for verily, you are outcast. ⁷⁸“And verily!, My Curse is on you till the Day of Recompense.”
⁷⁹[Iblîs (Satan)] said: “My Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected.” ⁸⁰(Allah) said: “Verily! You are of those allowed respite ⁸¹“Till the Day of the time appointed.”
That is why even the devil told the LORD Jesus, “Have you come to destroy us before our time? Why not give us a moment of respite? Command us to leave and then we will enter these swine’s.”
Jesus said, “Okay. Vacate from that man and let him regain his freedom. Enter the swine’s.” And they did. And the whole pigs got drowned in the water, but the spirit did not get drowned, for the spirit could not die when the pigs died.
The same way God hides Himself in a man is the same way the devil hides himself in a man. The devil reproduces itself through human beings. God reproduces Himself through human beings.
Hence, we have children of God and children of Belial [children of devil]. Do you believe this to be true?
1 Samuel 2:12, KJV. Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.
John 1:12, KJV. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name:
When God became a human being, the devil became a human being also. When God was in the spirit form, the devil remained a spirit.
Do you know that the devil specializes in hiding his name? The devil uses titles. You do not know the name of the devil until I reveal the name to you. The devil has his own secret name. That is why he operates using many individuals in many names, and using many shrines. Every shrine is a representation of the devil. Do you believe that?
And that shrine is erected by a human being. A name is given to it. Power is conferred upon it with the Word of the mouth. And then it begins to harass those who pay their allegiance to the devil.
The LORD Jesus had no part in the devil, for He said it, “The king [and ruler] of this world is coming, but he has no part in Me.”
And when the devil came, he came with ‘thus saith the Lord’. Jesus came with THUS SAITH THE LORD. The devil came with THUS SAITH THE LORD also.
The devil came quoting Scriptures to the Author of Scriptures. The Author of Scriptures used the Scriptures back, until the third time, when Authority reared up its head.
He exercised authority by giving him a command, “Get thee behind Me, you Satan, for it is written, ‘Thou shall never tempt the LORD thy God.’”
The Bible said, “From that time henceforth, the devil departed and did not come back to Christ again.”
Matthew 4:10-11, AMP. ⁷Jesus said to him, On the other hand, it is written also, You shall not tempt, test thoroughly, or try exceedingly the Lord your God. ….. ¹⁰Then Jesus said to him, Begone, Satan! For it has been written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve. ¹¹Then the devil departed from Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
KJV. ⁷Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ….. ¹⁰Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ¹¹Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
That is why I have told you that you do not kneel down to cast out the devil. You do not kneel down with your head downwards to pray against the devil and his plans against you.
Do you kneel down to fight your opponent? It is a spiritual battle. You have to stand up.

You see, faith cometh by hearing. We talk about faith, you see, it is not a big mountain. Faith means simply trusting in what you heard, believing that the person that is talking to you is God’s mouthpiece sent to you for your own salvation. ……. Obedience to God’s Word is your salvation, depending on the Word of God that has come to you, for the Word of God that has ever come to man for salvation has always been opposed to the man’s desire. This is why you must have your revelation of who is talking to you.

EXAMINE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST VOL. 2; Preached on Sunday 22^nd June, 2014 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 61 vs. 45 & Pg. 64 vs. 52

ANYTHING THAT OPPOSES THE TRUTH IS FROM THE DEVIL

he devil carries the Bible, the devil preaches. The devil teaches. That is why the Bible recognizes teachings of demons – doctrines of demons. Demonic teachings. Wrong teachings inspired by demons to seduce the hearts of the simple away from God.

1 Timothy 4:1, AMP. BUT THE [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach,
LB. ^[1]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.
The devil comes with his own inspiration. He comes with his own anointing. The devil can anoint you. God is anointing His people and the devil is also anointing His people, but one is opposed to the other.
Any anointing, any inspiration that you have received that queries the revealed Word of God is from the devil. Any anointing or inspiration that challenges the Word of God is from the devil.
That is why when God makes His promises to his children, the devil will enter into people and ask, “How is He going to do it? Are you believing this? How possible? Has He done it before? How do you think He will do it?”
Whatever that challenges the promises of God, which in God are yea and amen, is of the devil. Oh no! Your duty is to believe and wait for the fulfilment. Though it tarries, it will come to pass.
Why? From the time of the promise to the fulfilment of the promise from God, there is always a time of waiting, but the devil does not wait.
The devil goes with force, “Do it quick! Do it immediately! Do not say you will go home and confer with your parents or friends. If you go, you will not come back. They will discourage you. Do it with me here now now now! Follow me! I have better ideas than what they are giving to you. Just come! What does it take? Just one night. And in a few days, you become rich, but your parents would not like to support you in this. So you die in poverty. You die begging.”
Have you seen why there is widespread evil? This is because people are gullible to the antics, teachings and doctrines of the devil, but pay less attention to God. Why? The devil points them to earthly things, material things and temporary things. Why? He is not heavenly.
But God is heavenly. Message from God can never be palatable. Message from God will make people of the world to be allergic.
The people that belong to the world are allergic to the things of God, to the teachings of God and the doctrines of God, but are all addicted to the teachings of the devil.
Concerning the things of the world, teachings of the demons and the doctrines of demons, they are strong addicts because their hearts and minds are fixed.
You see why evil is spreading wider? For people pay heed, respect and fear the devil more than they pay heed to the Word of God.
Do you know that today, experience has proved that people who say they go to church fear the gods of their villages more than God? They respect the gods of their communities. The traditions and customs of their communities have overriding influence over the Word of God in their lives.
Mention that you are taking them to one juju somewhere, they will come in the night and beg you. You will hear, “I do not want this juju to eradicate my family. Do you know that the god of our community is very powerful? If he reports you to this god he has made up his mind about to take your case, you are finished. Please, let us go and plead with him.”
But if God will say, “Do not try it or else, I will sentence you to hell”, the devil will say, “Where is hell? Wait until you die. Is everything about hell not going to be potent only when one dies? When we die we talk about that one. Am I the only person that is going to die?”
Anything that opposes the truth is from the devil. That is why we have believers and unbelievers. Children of God and children of the devil, all from one tree. Righteous branch and unrighteous branch. You must trace yourself to its finality.
If you trace your beginning, I bet you, as we journey, you will see the end. Truly speaking, you will see your end afar off. Do you not know what I am saying?
You cannot begin to make a trip without knowing where you will stop. My stopping point is eternal life. The full and completeness of My salvation is the new body. Look at that new body there. With that new dress, there is no impersonation there.
And I know that I will not be speaking this grammar or Igbo language. I know the language that will be in My mouth. And the praise of God will remain flowing throughout the eternity of all eternities.
You know whether you are a seed of God or not. If you are allergic to heavenly Message, heavenly teachings, you are a seed of the devil. But if you are an addict to the Word, like the early Apostles were addicted by the Word of God, and people supposed them to be drunk during the early hours of the morning.
Peter said, “Men and women, Brethren in the land of the Jews, Israelis, we are not drunk as you suppose. This is early hours. This is 9’oclock in the morning. And no man in his sensible nature can ever begin to drink alcohol by 9o’clock in the morning. What will he then do in the evening?”
But to the children of Belial, every time is conducive for drinking alcohol. They can soak themselves in alcohol 24 hours of the day, continuously. Nothing pricks their consciences.
Then he [Peter] began to speak as he was inspired by the Word of God which is the Spirit of Truth, “Men and brethren, what shall we do then, having heard this truth and we are living witnesses?”
Remember I am talking about experience. Experience that sustains. If you do not have that encounter, personal, you are hanging on the fence. You are hanging on the fence.
Do you know why I am happy? It is now that My heart is resting. Why? Until a lady is married, you cannot know that type of God she will worship, for all that made the mistake of marrying heathens who promised them that they will allow them to continue worshipping their God as daughters of Christ, they failed all of them.
They used it to lure them out of where God placed them, using marriage to tempt them, not realizing that marriage is an obligation that is not meant for everybody. You have the right to marry. You equally have the right not to marry. It does not make you a sinner.
Where you are heading to, there is no husband and wife. You are going to be like the angels. Those that are counted worthy of the Kingdom do not marry. Neither are they given to marriage.
That means that you live your life, even if you are married, you live as if you are not married. Man and woman, let your affection be on Christ and Christ alone.
This is because when you get to Paradise, although you will reproduce, there will not be one woman that will be attached to you. You will be like God created you in the very beginning. You do not own a husband and you do not own a wife. I do not care about how many wives you have here.
If you doubt Me, assuming that you are in hell and your wife is in heaven, what will you do? Will you jump into heaven or will your wife jump into hell?
“Two will be in the bed. One will be taken and the other left.” Will you protest? You may have 20 wives just like it is in the illustration Jesus gave of a woman that married seven husbands.
He asked, “Now, in resurrection, who among the seven will claim her? Will seven marry her.” He said, “You fools! Look at the way you reason. Do you not know that there is no husband and wife and that there is no marriage in heaven?” You will be there reproducing as angels.
Hear Me very well. A goat has no wife. A cow has no wife. Of all animals created, not even one has a wife.
And as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end. When you are restored there, you will know. You will be a friend to all animals. The lion will not kill you. No animal will harm you. A snake will not bite you.
You will eat your original food which will be green leaves and fruits. You will no longer be eating flesh.
Hence people eat their fellow human’s flesh. It is here. So take note of what I am saying. The Prophets have prophesied it and I have seen it. That is, the Garden of Eden from where Adam and Eve were driven out.
That is where everybody is going to be restored. All that belong to the righteous lineage of Adam and Eve – righteous branch. So do not trouble yourselves over earthly arrangements that will end here.
We sing it in our song: [Hold to God’s unchanging hands. Hold to God’s unchanging hands. Build your hope on things eternal. Hold to God’s unchanging Word.
Time is filled with swift transition. Naught of earth unmoved can stand. Build your hopes on things eternal. They will never pass away!
Hold to God’s unchanging hands. Hold to God’s unchanging hands. Build your hope on things eternal. Hold to God’s unchanging Word.]
The Bible never said hold unto your wife or husband. What God said is, “OF ALL THINGS, LAY HOLD UNTO ETERNAL LIFE, FOR THEREUNTO YOU ARE CALLED AND ORDAINED.”
1 Timothy 6:12, KJV. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
It did not say that you are called and ordained to marriage. No! Marriage has even caused the downfall of men. That is why it takes a son of God to marry a daughter of God for the two to stand. Otherwise, there will be havoc on the way.
The devil will capitalize on the weaker one, whether it be man or woman, to wreak havoc that the name of God will be blasphemed. May God forbid!
That is why husband and wife must bind their hearts together and take a strong stand that “We cannot shift one bit from the revealed Word of God”.
I said My heart is now settled that My daughter is now given to a Brother in the Faith. Two of them will say Amen together. When you marry a woman that believes what you believe, when you say amen, she will say amen.
When you say let us pray, she has no excuse. Let us worship God, she has no excuse. She knows that it is her whole duty.
The whole duty of man is to worship God, adore Him, praise Him and allow God to perform His oath; to perform that which He promised before the world began. And he can never shrink or draw back from fulfilling it. My duty is to wait. Your duty is to wait. Will it come to pass? Yes!
So be very careful that you do not listen to satanic utterances and satanic teachings that are now everywhere. We are in the last days. The Bible said that false prophets and false teachers will inundate the whole world; flooding the whole world, all carrying Bible.
I read it last Sunday that it is not all that carry the Bible calling the name of God believe in God. It is not all of them that are children of God, for the devil masquerades Himself as an angel, minister of Light and minister of righteousness.
How dare you think that his own children [offshoots] will not do that same thing. They perform magic and they call it miracle. God performs miracle, but the devil performs magic.
Do not doubt Me. Everything magic does not have scriptural backing and it can never point you to anything eternal. It must be sensual. It must be sensual. It goes with too many sensations.
Before you know it, you will hear esoteric language or languages to back it up, “Hurimamamama! Shakashakashaka!” jumping up and down, pushing everybody down, all because of prophecy.
I was listening to the radio last week. One was calling everybody at Ogidi and giving them his own program. One Reverend Canon Charlie who said he is a miracle and deliverance specialist. He is a Canon in the Anglican Communion. He said that every Wednesday is for prophecies, dreams and visions.
So there is a day for prophecy. If you want to listen to prophecies, go on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, it is deliverance from morning till evening, but remember you must come with some money.
Every day you hear, “We are going to have Miracle Extravaganza Night” Is that so? Miracle Extravaganza Night! Night of Prophecies. Who will prophesy?
So, God now has days of prophecies and days He will show dreams. Who will receive those things and tell others? You see, they are everywhere.
That is why, in everything they are doing, note all. They are all pecuniary-induced. Money-minded individuals everywhere, who do not have any occupation other than to dupe their fellow human beings. For that reason, too many people have proved them to be liars, and they have stopped going to church.
If the churches are performing their rightful obligations, people would have been showing keen interest in going to church. It is better you stay in your home now than to go there and trouble your conscience.
You go there to see a smart man wearing suit. He is not only playing on one’s intelligence. He is crafty.
That is why the Bible said, “When you go out, do not look for charisma. Look for character.”
No matter how they parade and read the Bible, they can never live the life of Christ. Do not go for Charisma. Go for character. For Christ is identified by His characteristics. Do not preach me a message. Live me a message. Period.

You see, we are called devils wherever we go because of our doctrine, which they say is devilish, and which reflects in our character. And I say, praise be to God. I am the Chief of the Devils. If you are devils, I am your Chief. Thus, if you do not know what it means to be Chief of devils, if I am a Chief of the devils, you are the devils of which I am the Chief. Then, I will like to identify with these devils. This devil that can administer healing, that can save and secure, that can bless, that can speak good and it comes to pass, I will identify with this devil, for this devil cometh contrary to the Scriptures. This particular devil I have identified with has appeared contrary to the Bible devil, for the Bible said that the devil cometh to kill, to destroy and to carry away, but God comes to save and give us life more abundantly. Hence, maybe I AM GOD IN THE FORM OF A DEVIL. Maybe you are Gods in the form of devils.

FACING THE FACTS OF OUR FAITH; Preached on Sunday 9^th October 2005 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 122 vs. 35 – 40

IS YOUR WORSHIP SPIRITUAL [1]

The topic I want to consider is: IF YOU DO NOT SERVE GOD RIGHTLY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CLAIM ETERNAL LIFE. At all!

Then, we ask ourselves the question, “Why did God say so?” He said so because God never placed immortality as a privilege. He placed it as our right, if we worship Him rightly. Sure!!!
Let us look into this question. HOW DO WE WORSHIP GOD RIGHTLY? Turn with me to the Bible. John 5:39-40, Amen! The Message Bible. Yes sir!
You have your heads in your Bible constantly because… I want you to just follow what is being said in this quote carefully. And then, you will understand what you heard from the Sunday School.
You have your heads in your Bible constantly because you think you will find eternal life there, but you miss the forest for the trees. It is a proverb. You miss the forest for the tree.
When you are looking for trees, where do you go? The forest. If you are looking for trees, do you go to your kitchen? Do you go to your bedroom? Can the trees grow there? You go to the forest. But they abandoned the forest and went to the rooms and kitchens and synagogues to look for trees where they are not planted. No no no no no! I feel like flying away.
You just saw trees. You called it forest. But few trees do not make a forest.
These Scriptures are all about me, and here I am, standing right before you, and you are not willing to receive from me the life you say you want.
Do we have somebody standing before us today? So, we are not just reading a story. The Person standing before you is saying, “You have to come to me to get this eternal life.” Is that not true?
Eternal life is in THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHHN]. We have to humble ourselves at His feet so that He can help us to worship Him [the Supreme Father] rightly.
We do this by believing His Word made flesh standing before us as the true and the living Almighty God in human vessel. Sure!!! He, Christ [Apostle Peter Odoemena] is the precious and greatest gift of the Ancient of Days dwelling in a mortal man. Sure!!!
There was no other place He could reveal Himself, only among us in this family [Apostle Peter Odoemena’s family] where He begat us as His sons and daughters. We will ever remain grateful to Him that we can say we are the biological children of The Most High God.
Conceived by God’s own divine sperm. Sure!!! That is why we believe the same thing and we speak the same thing. We mind the same thing, perfectly joined together in one judgment.
We are not just telling people that we are spiritual Children of God. We are biological children of God also. For He used the spiritual sperm to produce us. We are sure, we are certain. So we are saying we are biological children of God.
I received it now now. He handed this thing over to me last night. I do not know who brought it, but somebody brought it to the parlour. I never opened the envelopes. I had already picked a Message before I went down and saw it. I knew by revelation what the contents could be because I know the source.
No matter where you stay and pray, if you are a seed of God, I must be there. There is no word that will enter your mouth which the lord has not placed there for a purpose.
He said, “I know you. I know your dwelling place. I know your works and your doings. I know your name. I call you by your name, for you are Mine.” I am not a God that is in one place. I am everywhere.
Then if you and I are biological children of God, do you not know that the people are waiting to see that encounter; that life in us that is different from that of others who are also claiming to be the children of God?
This is because everybody claims to be a child of God. But in the true biological children of God, you will see the difference.
Anybody can claim to be Buhari’s child. Seeing that you do not know him, he is from the north, he is an Hausa man, he is a Fulani, he can tell you that he is Buhari’s child. But something must be there for you to prove him as the biological child of Buhari. It is not just a claim.
You can use it as a statement to deceive somebody or to get what you want to get from somebody, but the hour must come to prove it. Sure!!!
All that travel abroad to dupe their fellow human being there thinking that they are different human beings. They do not know that they are all created by the same God who created them.
A good number of them travel out with fake names. Impersonators. And they cannot impersonate the name of a common man. They must impersonate the name of a big elephant. A big elephant whose name rings bell globally so that even law enforcement agents will respect them upon mentioning that name. Yes!
When I ran into their hands there at Minna, Niger State, one of them claimed to be the first son of Major General Wushishi. I looked at him from head to toe and I said, “Okay, thank you. You are welcome sir.”
The other one came with his Agbada uniform, a very expensive vehicle and a very beautiful lady. He said, “Look at me very well. I am the second son of Dantata.” I said, “Sir, it is reflective in your appearance. You are welcome.”
So they kept on introducing themselves one after the other until one eventually came with three expatriates and two Ghana-Must-Go boxes.
You know when it took place? After the bombing of the world trade centre [9/11]. They dispersed and then started duping the whole world.
When they came, he brought out his ID card and presented it to Me and said, “Look at it. I am the deputy inspector general of Police in charge of logistics.” I said, “Sir, you are welcome.”
When you look at that ID card he presented and the faces of the expatriates, you will believe you are there for a raw[real] deal, but they did not know the Personality they had already brought into their midst.
They began to talk in their own language, using their slangs. They thought I was not understanding them.
They never knew that the Spirit of Christ was already wrapped in Me. I put on everything that made Me the Almighty. I knew there must be war in the end. And then all the faces I have used in wars, all of them engulfed Me immediately
I knew that what they were looking for is not found in Me and that they must be violent, for they took Me right inside a hotel in the remotest part of the bush by night.
I escaped that same night by 1.30AM. They were in the vehicle but they could not see Me.
My people were weeping here. I told them in the morning that I was safe and secured. You will see me few minutes from now. I am at Zuba, but if I tell you where I escaped from in Minna near Kontagora, you would not believe it. To God be the glory.
You know the story. You know everything. You know how it took place, but God gave Me the victory. All of them ran helter-skelter. When they saw the many faces of THE SON OF MAN, confusion set in. Let Me stop there.
Anybody can claim to be Buhari’s child. Seeing that you do not know him, he is from the north, he is an Hausa man, he is a Fulani, he can tell you that he is Buhari’s child, but something must be there for you to prove him as the biological child of Buhari. It is not just a claim.
You can use it as a statement to deceive somebody, to get what you want to get from somebody, but the hour must come to prove it.
You went to school? A time must come for you to defend all those papers you are placing before somebody. Hello! Chikaity! Is it not true? That is the truth.
John 4 verse 21- 24. Let us read it from the Living Bible and the Message Bible.
Living Bible. Jesus replied, “The time is coming, ma’am, when we will no longer be concerned about whether to worship the Father here or in Jerusalem.
For it’s not where we worship that counts, but how we worship—is our worship spiritual and real? Do we have the Holy Spirit’s help? For God is Spirit, and we must have his help to worship as we should. Sure!
Have you seen it? God is spirit, we must have His help to worship Him as we should. Without Him helping us, without the spirit of truth coming physically to help us, we cannot worship God rightly. Sure!!!
The evidence that we are biological children is that we will have Him helping us to worship God rightly. Is it everybody He is helping? No! He is only helping His biological children.
The Psalmist wrote it down there in the Book of Psalms that God should bless the Man on His right hand side, even THE SON OF MAN, Whom He had made strong for His Name’ s sake that we may worship Him rightly.
That is why He called them jewels, He called them saints, He called them Elects which He gathered. His biological children. He came for them to help them to worship the Father that dwelleth in Him rightly. For He and the Father are one. Is that not what the Bible said? Please repeat that place.
For God is Spirit, and we must have his help to worship as we should. The Father wants this kind of worship from us. But you Samaritans know so little about him, worshiping blindly, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes to the world through the Jews.” Sure!!!
And by the word ‘Jews’, it does not mean being born in Israel, but being circumcised in the heart. Now let us listen to what the Message Bible said in John chapter 4 verse 23 and 24 only.
But the time is coming–it has, in fact, come–when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. Sure!!! “It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God.
Why not put your hands together for God? I do not care the name you give to that little place, or that synagogue or cathedral. Before God, they mean nothing. What counts is what?
But the time is coming–it has, in fact, come–when what you’re called will not matter
Whether you are Reverend, Pope, archbishop, Apostle, Son of Man. Whatever you like, call yourself. God is not saving you because of what you are being called or the office you occupy or your status. Nay!
GOD IS NOT LOOKING FOR ELEPHANT INCLUSION. HE IS ONLY AFTER RELEVANT INCLUSION. ELEPHANT INCLUSION IS VERY DECEITFUL. WHAT MATTERS IS RELEVANT INCLUSION. It is not the big name, but the importance of the individual.
Today, we have too many big elephants. God calls them synthetic flowers. When you look at their stature and their wealth, you will think that that group has made it to the top. You are walking by sight counting the dead among the living. God forbid! I say, God forbid!
What God is looking for is not the entire world that cannot give Him the desired worship and obedience to the truth, but one or two who will separate themselves from the entire world unto God in holiness and in righteousness, believing His Word.
God said that He is looking for one in a million who will have another spirit away from all, to do God a service according to His will. Period! And they are in the minority.
But the time is coming–it has, in fact, come–when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. “It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God.
Have you seen how it puts it? It is who you are and the way you live that counts before God. Who are you? A biological child of God. It is not ‘I am Catholic’, ‘I am Pentecostal’, ‘I am Christian’, ‘I am a Muslim’, I am this and that. That is not the important thing.
Why? In every nation; in every place, according to Acts of the Apostles chapter 10, anybody, any human being who fears and obeys the LORD, gives Him reverential worship, the Bible said, “The same is made acceptable unto God” irrespective of race, country of origin, irrespective of the colour of the skin or language; irrespective of any religion where he or she is attached to, for religion is an accident of birth.
Hear Me very well. Anything called religion is an accident of birth or influence through contact.
That is why if you are born in Saudi Arabia, automatically, you are born a Muslim. But you can be influenced through travels and contacts. If you hear something higher than what you have, you migrate. It can happen to any religion.
But nobody migrates from Christ. If you are born of God, the seed of God abideth in you. Whether you are a Muslim or a Christian; whether you are in Shinto, Grail Message, Eckankar, Hare Krishna, it makes no meaning. If you like be a pagan, you are a pagan by human assessment, but your heart is right with your fellow human being and right with God.
Is your heart right with God and with your fellow human beings? Do you mean well to yourself and to others?
Remember, we are studying the Book of Zebulon where we are enjoined to show charity to every human being irrespective of religious inclination and devoid of parochial and tribalistic interest[s]. No No No!
Do not say “He is from my hometown. He is from my church”. A human being is a human being. And that is your good neighbour, for one who is closest to you serves your interest more than your brother that is in Lagos or America or elsewhere. For that, you must mean well to him and to her and to the family.
The secret of living a happy life lies in making the people around you feel happy.
If you are feeling happy when others are sad, you are a sadist. So do not be selfish in your thoughts, in your reasoning and in your actions. Do not be selfish. Be liberally minded like the Almighty God, Who allows all His benevolence to both the good and the bad.
Even those that regard Him as enemy, God is still taking care of them. Why not develop a larger heart than your size? Let your heart be accommodative to human weaknesses and imperfections, remembering what you were in time past.
If God had destroyed you that time, will you be what you are today? Show the same affection, one to the other.

IS YOUR WORSHIP SPIRITUAL? [2]

Who are you? Are you a biological child of God? John 4:24, MSG. “It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth.

Do we have a message titled WHO ARE YOU? Define who you are. Introduce yourself to God.
“It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. YOUR WORSHIP MUST ENGAGE YOUR SPIRIT IN THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH. Amen!!!
Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth.
Your worship must engage the totality of your being and your whole sprit, where your life is hanging. Engage it. Not carnal worship, being a churchgoer, observing church rules and regulations which are man-made, and holding unto them tenaciously as if you are doing the will of God, but you do not know you are just possessing church righteousness.
When they tell you to go and preach, you go and preach. “Operation win one.” Then you go out. Any one church says you should do, you do it whether it is good or bad as if it is THUS SAITH THE LORD. They are all man-made. They are all man-made. And you do not know when you are helping other people to foster their goals.
Last week, I opened your eyes more and more. Everything you call church or mosque; I do not care. They are all commercially based. They are there for commerce and industry. Believe it if you can. There is nothing spiritual in any of them.
When the LORD commanded in the Book of Matthew 28, the Great Commission, did He say, “Go and do transportation, build industries, build schools and universities?”
They are competing with government. Church is now purchasing government property. Church has gone Plc, public liability company.
People now buy shares in the churches. All their oil and gas filling stations, I know some of them. Their microfinance and merchant banks, I know some of their directors. In some of their universities, I know the board of governors. So it is with their colleges of education and polytechnics.
And no common man can afford to pay the tuition fee there. Yet, all are owned by churches.
Can you imagine? My friend called Me from Ghana. That was on Wednesday. He called asking for assistance. I said, “What for?” He said that his daughter sat for the common entrance examination in the Airforce school in Enugu.
He used his junior brother who is a squadron leader to take his quota. But unfortunately, during the interview, his daughter disclosed another name and that is the name of the biological father instead of the name of her uncle, and she was dropped.
Then she passed Holy Rosary secondary school entrance examination. Pay attention. He said that the wife went there for the registration. There they said that acceptance fee is one hundred thousand naira [₦100,000.00], while the school fees is three hundred thousand naira [₦300,000.00].
I said, “Holy Rosary secondary school Enugu”? he said, “Sir, you should find out.” I told him that it is owned by Catholics.
He said, “Why not come to the one at Oguta Road? Go to QRC and find out. Go to CKC and find out. Go to DMGS. Do you know how much we paid for our forms? We paid twenty thousand naira [₦20,000.00] for form alone.”
Are you surprised? Check all the universities owned by churches. Do you know how much they pay in Redeemed University in Osun State?
My daughter Oluebube went there to lecture them in Computer Science when she was in Lagos. Then they took her there. There she saw how much the students were paying.
All these private universities you see, a good number of them are owned by churches and reverend fathers, reverend pastors and so on.
Go to Peaceland Enugu, I know the owner. He is a reverend father. Go to Thinkers’ Corner, that is reverend father Stan Ani. Same with Ecumenical and Caritas and all of them.
Go to Port Harcourt and everywhere, even Madonna. I know all of them even the one at Umunneochi. It is owned by Ndiora Microfinace Bank. And that is Spiritan University. Go there and see what is happening.
So it is in the north. And so it is everywhere. Then the question arises: When are they taking this money to God and by what means? Have they not become another Chris Oyakhilome?
Chris Oyakhilome said that he e-mailed six million naira which a cashier stole from Sheraton Hotels Abuja– that he e-mailed six million to God.
Justice Rosaline Omotoso of the Lagos high court enquired from him the contact address he used to e-mail money to God. He said that it is a spiritual matter, and that the judge would not understand. And that there is a way it is handled spiritually.
The case was then adjourned to enable the judge to assemble knowledgeable people to come and teach her how money can be e-mailed to God.
From that language now, every pastor in the Pentecostal does e-mailing of money to God. You are giving to God. You are giving to God. It’s God God God God.
Please, let us be very careful. Is your worship spiritual? Is it according to truth? Is it spiritual? Is it according to truth? Period!
Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: Amen!
Is He looking for everybody? Look at the kind of people He is looking for. … Spiritual worshippers. Not mechanical. Not carnal.
…those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. They are not complex. They are simple.
God is sheer being itself–Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.
Your true self. Your true self is your spirit. Wherever the spirit of man is, there he is, for the spirit of man dictates every action of man. True or false?
So we have seen clearly what the scripture says. I want us to get it very clear that the Lord Jesus Christ said; the time has come when what you are called will not matter.
Whether you are a Christian, or a Muslim, or Hindu, or Catholic, or Methodist does not matter. Is that not true? Where you go to worship will not matter. So it does not matter where you are going to worship. It is who you are and the way you live that counts before God.
This is the Voice of the bridegroom emanating from the Bridal Studio for the salvation of mankind who will pay heed to this Voice and do the needful, and then come out from all those God-condemned associations and organizations, God-forsaken synagogues.
Come out from among them. They have become synagogues of Satan where Satan is highly celebrated in falsehood and with the pretense that they are worshipping God.
Ignorant people surge there, not knowing that they are worshipping the devil in ignorance.
Our worship must be spiritual and real. …
Did the Apostles worship God in any synagogue or temple? What was the name of the church where they were gathering? It does not exist. They never! The churches were in the families.
Even from the very beginning, who can give Me the name of the church which Abraham erected. The church of Noah, what was the name? The church of Isaac, what was the name? What was the name of the church of Ishmael.
Maybe you do not know who the Ishmaelites are. They are the sons and daughters of Keturah according to the holy Scriptures and the Holy Qur’an.
Genesis 25:1-4, AMP. ¹ABRAHAM TOOK another wife, and her name was Keturah. ²And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. ³Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. ⁴The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Do not worry. As we journey along, you will recognize yourselves more and more.
Our worship must be spiritual and real. The spirit of truth must help us to worship Him as we should. And the scripture says the spirit of truth; the world does not know Him and are not expecting Him.
So He is a human being. The Spirit of Truth, the world does not know Him, and they are not expecting Him. A human being!
Can you be waiting for somebody you are not expecting? No! Can you be waiting for somebody you do not know and you cannot identify Him? He may pass by you and you will not know Him.
You do not have His photograph. What you are holding may be a painted picture, which is painted after the thoughts and imaginations of the people you are following. Hence, today, the so-called Jesus has more than 20,000 different pictures. Which one is His real picture? Look at Him there.
He revealeth Himself to whomsoever He willeth. In the midst of the worshipping congregation, he reveals Himself and even His father’s Name.
Matthew 11:27, AMP. ²⁷All things have been entrusted and delivered to Me by My Father; and no one fully knows and accurately understands the Son except the Father, and no one fully knows and accurately understands the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son deliberately wills to make Him known.
The biological children of God are the only ones expecting the spirit of truth to come and help them to worship the Father who is a spirit. But for Him to do that, He has to take flesh like us.
For in the beginning, we were with Him as spirits. When He took flesh, we also took flesh. And that is why we have Him as our teacher in person, to teach us how to worship God. Our Guide and our Instructor.
For worship is your whole spirit pursuing the truth. Sure! That is why the voice said, ‘your actions will tell people what you have encountered. For a man that encountered a strange spirit, his actions differ’. Go to the village and ask people. Sure!
Somebody can say he met an evil spirit and he could not talk again. He could write and tell you what he experienced till the day the evil spirit permits him to talk. Is he not acting strangely? Sure!
His actions will tell you that truly this person met something. … The eyes that beholds a spirit does not retain its original state. Sure!
And this evil spirit he met, was it just wind? No! He saw a human being. Is that not true?
A worshipper of God has direct interaction with God. Sure! If you have not started worshipping God to the extent that you have personal interaction with Him, your worship is in vain. Thank you!
This is because the Bible said that you should be personally and practically acquainted with Him.
Jeremiah 9:24, AMP. ²⁴But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.
He said, “Walk close to Him. If He has come and revealed Himself to you, walk close to Him. Understudy Him and His characteristics.”
And this evil spirit he met, was it just wind? No! He saw a human being. Is that not true?
A worshipper of God has direct interaction with God. If you have not started worshipping God to the extent that you have personal interaction with Him, your worship is in vain.
Our Fathers of old said that they saw Him. They shook hands with Him. They heard Him teach. They ate and drank with Him. And they did not die. And they proved that He is the message of eternal life.
Exodus 24:9-11, KJV. ⁹Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; ¹⁰and they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. ¹¹And upon the nobles of the children of Israel He laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
1 John 1:1-2, KJV. ^[1]Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen him with my own eyes and listened to him speak. I have touched him with my own hands. He is God’s message of life.
^[2]This one who is life from God has been shown to us, and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ, who is eternal Life. He was with the Father and then was shown to us.
What is your own encounter? What is your own experience? This is because every encounter must leave a definite experience behind. For every encounter you have with your fellow human being, there is an experience to it. For every encounter you have with a strange Spirit, especially the Almighty God, He must leave a definite experience which will remain indelible in your memory till eternity.
It is not merely singing it as a song: [That day! O that day! I remember that day. I will never forget that day When Jesus came and took my sins away.]
Yes! The LORD Jesus died on the cross of Calvary, paid the penalty for sin, so that those that live will live for Him. By paying the penalty on the cross of Calvary, the Bible said he condemned sin in the flesh. He resurrected and then became the justification of those He has already redeemed.
He went further to say that He nailed to the cross all those laws we could not obey. He nailed all of them there, making it impossible for the devil to accuse us of any other sin.
Colossians 2:13-14, AMP. ¹³And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us all our transgressions,
¹⁴Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross.
¹⁵[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].
LB. ^[13]You were dead in sins, and your sinful desires were not yet cut away. Then he gave you a share in the very life of Christ, for he forgave all your sins, ^[14]and blotted out the charges proved against you, the list of his commandments which you had not obeyed. He took this list of sins and destroyed it by nailing it to Christ’s cross.
That is why there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ who do not walk after the flesh, but they pay heed to the Spirit because the law of the Spirit has set Me free from the law of the flesh, for the flesh profiteth nothing. And by the deeds of the flesh can no human being be ever justified.
And Jesus was not justified in the flesh. He was justified in the spirit, seen by angels and taken to glory. It is important and weighty.
Without controversy, great [weighty] is the mystery of godliness, Who appeared in human form, justified in the spirit, seen by men and women, then taken into glory. Amen.
1 Timothy 3:16, KJV. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
A worshipper of God has direct interaction with God. If you have not started worshipping God to the extent that you have personal interaction with Him, your worship is in vain.

I am not sent to everybody. I am sent to the lost sheep of Israel. I am not sent to everybody. I am not a worldwide Minister. I told you that. I came in search of My own. Anywhere I see that My own, I will make noise, he will embrace Me. My sheep heareth My Voice, they follow Me. The only thing that will attract them is My Voice. Once I speak, they will follow Me. ……. If you are in this Faith and you are hostile, you are not in this Faith. You are in your own faith. The Faith of the Son of Man is the happiest Faith in the whole world.

HE LOVES HIS OWN UNTO THE END

Now we start the reading to check those things God is saying. I want us to turn to the Message; OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE Part 2; Preached during morning altar on Wednesday 29th July, 2020 at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe; Anambra State, Nigeria; by Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man. Page 22 verses 2-12. Please pay attention to what God is saying here.

²WHEN YOU WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, YOU HAVE A RIGHT OVER ETERNAL LIFE; OVER IMMORTAL BODY. Sure! Conferred right! Qualification.
You see it! You have a right. It is not prayer o! You are not praying for it. You are not begging. It is a right. Please repeat it again.
When you worship God in spirit and in truth, you have a right over eternal life; over immortal body. You do not pray for it. You do not labour for immortal body. You only wait for it.
Have you seen it clear? That is why you can stand and say, “Without me, there is no translation.” Sure! “If you do not see me, know that translation has taken place”.
The person is sure and certain. Why? Because he has worshipped God rightly. Who helped him? The Spirit of truth, The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena whom the world is not expecting and will not receive. You are no longer under condemnation.
Only the biological children that belong to Him will receive Him with great joy, with every amount of surety. Sure! Even if you are killing them, they will tell you that this is the Spirit of truth.
This is because they have no substitute father. Their Father cannot be substituted for another man, for that is the loin from where they came into existence. In life or in death, they are His.
SONG: [In life or in death, He will still be My God. Whosoever the LORD Loves, he will love Him forever. In life or in death, he will surely be my God]
The love of the Father is constantly showered abroad all over His children. Do you believe that to be true? And it passeth all human understanding.
Only the biological children that belong to Him will receive Him with great joy, with every amount of surety. Even if you are killing them, they will tell you that this is the Spirit of truth, and not because Odoemena said so, but because I am convinced.
Why? Having loved His own that are in the world, He loves them till the end. True or false? You can see it there in the Book of John Chapter 13, from verse 1.
Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
³You have only but one responsibility: To believe in Him whom the LORD has sent in your day for one purpose. The LORD sent Him and made Him strong that he may help you to worship God rightly.
⁴Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. [John 6:29 KJV]
⁵Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon THE SON OF MAN whom thou madest strong for thyself. [Psalms 80:17 KJV]
⁶That is the only sole purpose for which cause, THE SON OF MAN is sent from the presence of the Almighty. [Period!]
⁷He came to help you and all mankind that will acknowledge Him as One that came from the presence of the Father of all spirit; the Lord of all the spirits. Acknowledge him as such.
⁸The One who has been standing in the right-hand side of the majesty, even before the world was created; Born to righteousness.
According to the Ethiopic Book of Enoch and the forgotten Books of Eden.
It is not everybody that will acknowledge Him. That is why when we heard the voice, He told us that many looked at Him as an earthly man. We know His brother, we know his sister, we know his mother, we know his father. We know His wife. We know His children.
But it is only you and I that can accept Him for who He is. For there is no one in heaven, except God, and He is the One that came. Amen!
Even from the word go, he introduced Himself as the One Who came down from Heaven.
SONG: [The Holy One came down from heaven to visit us here on earth. With all our hearts, we salute and thank Him. Thank you! Thank you! Thank You O SON OF MAN]
⁹And the angel came to me and greeted me with his voice, and said to me ‘This is the Son of Man who is born to righteousness, and righteousness abides over him, and THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE HEAD OF DAYS FORSAKES HIM NOT.’ [Ethiopic Book of Enoch 71:14]
Are you taking note all these references?
This is different from the saying; “If God is on a mountain, the mountain becomes righteous. And if God leaves the mountain, there is no righteousness there again”. But this One is born into righteousness. And righteousness can never depart from Him. So who is He?
¹⁰INIQUITY CANNOT BE TRACED TO HIM WHO IS REVEALED IN YOUR OWN DAY [Till eternity]ACCORDING TO PROPHESY AND ACCORDING TO TIME.
That is why he has told you time without number, “Provoke Him not to wrath, but instead to love and to edification. Only then shall you profit.”
Why? There is no God in Heaven that will try His case if He kills you. And He will not kill you with any human instrumentality. He knows how to handle every flesh quietly, but He never abuses His power over all flesh.
For He that is in our midst is conferred with absolute authority in Heaven and on earth over every flesh to deal with every human being as he wishes and to give eternal life to whosoever He wishes.
And he entertains no query from the Almighty, for the Almighty Himself dwells in Him without measure. The Almighty cannot commit iniquity.
¹⁰INIQUITY CANNOT BE TRACED TO HIM WHO IS REVEALED IN YOUR OWN DAY ACCORDING TO PROPHESY AND ACCORDING TO TIME. AND THE LORD MADE HIM STRONG SO THAT HE MAY HELP YOU TO WORSHIP GOD RIGHTLY.
The Lord made Him what? Strong! So that He can help you to worship Him. That is why no matter what people are saying, that vessel that they look at called Odoemena might be looking like dying today, but tomorrow He is strong. The Lord has already made Him strong so that we will be able to worship God rightly.
Today, he is near unto death. Tomorrow, He is stronger than ever. Yet, no hospital and no treatment.
¹¹IF YOU BELIEVE HIM AND OBEY HIM, THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES TO WORSHIP GOD RIGHTLY.
That is it! Two things there. You believe and obey! For you can believe without obeying.
AND YOU CAN NEVER OBEY WITHOUT BELIEVING.
THEN YOU HAVE YOUR RIGHT TO IMMORTAL BODY WHICH IS ETERNAL LIFE, AND WHICH IS THE COMPLETENESS OF YOUR SALVATION.
¹²You can be saved from Egypt, called out from the world into the Lord’s Family, but anytime unbelief is traced to you, you are lost and you will be destroyed.
Now from the Scriptures we read earlier, I want to emphasize on the point; “It is who you are and the way you live that counts before God”. You and I are called out from the world into the Lord’s Family.
Hence, our unique identity that marks us separate and makes us a standout group from others remains the word made flesh, Christ in our midst, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN).
That is the difference between us and the world. This word that manifested in flesh is now being planted in our hearts that we may be like Him. This is the difference between the Bride and any group of people who claim to worship God under the sun.
Then the question arises; what has He [Christ], the Bridegroom, wrought in your life as a result of His messages and His doctrines you have believed?
I want us to re-examine our habit in line with the messages we have received so far. Have a full inventory of your life. Compare your life to the Message. Find out whether your character is agreeing with the Faith or you are troublesome and you are on the opposing side.
There are reasons why The Son of Man was sent. If the reason why He was sent cannot be achieved in our lives, then He was not sent for us.
Now let us approach the reasons as we progress in the same message OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE Part 2; Page 26 verses 13-21.
What are we trying to approach? The reason why He came. And if He has come for me and for you, it must be evidently seen in our lives. Because there must be a difference between us and the world. For there is a difference between Coca-Cola and Seven-Up. Good! Let us continue.
¹³So the reasons why THE SON OF MAN is sent are to [1] REVEAL THE FAITH OF CHRIST THAT IS MISSING UPON THE EARTH. Yes! When THE SON OF MAN shall come, shall He find faith upon the earth
Watch the first one. It is to reveal the faith of Christ that is [completely] missing upon the earth.
Except the LORD of Host left us a seed from where He reproduced that Faith, we could have been like Sodom and Gomorrah. A Seed he preserved. From there, the Faith of Christ has been reproduced.
That is why we now have the world of Elect of God jumping out from the cage of unclean birds where they have been trapped all these centuries, for they have heard the Voice of their only Master and LORD.
Remember the difference between the domestic fowl and the bush fowl. They look alike. They are fowls. One is domestic, while the other one is wild and bushy.
Are they the same thing? No! But each can hatch the eggs of the other. Yet, the chicks are not the same. When they chuckle, their sounds differ one to another.
Brethren, are the sounds made by the local fowl the same with that of the bush fowl? If a local hen takes her chicks into the bush, if the bush fowl’s chick among them hears the chuckle of her own mother hen in the bush, it will escape deep into the bush to rejoin them. The local hen can never come back with it again. Is it a lie Brethren?
The same way if the bush fowl goes out with the chicks of a local fowl. If the chick of the local fowl ever sights or hears the chuckle of another local fowl, the bush fowl is going home without that local fowl chick.
¹⁴I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, WHEN THE SON OF MAN COMETH, SHALL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH? [Luke 18:8 KJV] It is a question.
¹⁵[2] TO HELP YOU TO WORSHIP GOD RIGHTLY. Sure! Number one is to reveal that faith that is missing upon the earth. Two, is to help me and you worship God rightly.
¹⁶BUT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH. He will not speak on his own, he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. [John 16:13, NIV]
This Spirit of truth, the world is not expecting Him. The world does not know Him. The only people that will accept Him are the biological children of God. When were they born? Before the foundation of the world, they have been with Him.
¹⁷[3] TO GIVE YOU FULL AND COMPLETE SALVATION Sure! WHICH IS IMMORTAL BODY MEANT FOR ONLY THOSE WHO WILL RECEIVE HIM, AND ACKNOWLEDGE HIM FOR WHO HE IS.
Those that are eagerly and patiently waiting for Him. These are the people that will receive the full and complete salvation according the Book of Hebrews Chapter 9 verse 28.
There are many that have received THe Son of Man today as a good man. There are many who said, ‘Yes, Daddy Ijeoma is a very good man of God’. That is the far they have come as regards receiving Him. But you and I know Him as Almighty God, the tabernacle, which the Lord said is amongst men.
And the world does not know this truth, for He is strictly banned and prohibited from introducing Himself to the world. He is strongly prohibited by the Supreme and Sovereign God from making noise in the streets and from identifying Himself with any group of human beings.
Hence He lives a restricted life, holistically restricted to Himself and those he had already called to Himself, for no man cometh to Him except the Father brings that person to Him.
He does not go about looking for converts. He does not go about looking for who will believe and who will not. No!
He told us that He came, not to raise a big or large congregation for Christ or to institute a world revival. No! He came just for the handpicked minority, ordained and selected by predestination by the Almighty God Himself Who knows them and where they are.
My sheep heareth My Voice and they will follow. The voice of the stranger will always remain strange like a stranger. They will never pay heed to it.
But my problem is: My people mingle with strangers and they have learnt very easily and readily their wicked ways; their religious ways, thereby becoming good for nothing like half-baked bread.
