I want you to see, you that have been going about trying to covet a dangerous spirit, that you cannot be wiser than father David. This thing now that is attracting your attention, father David saw it and it nearly swept him off. When he realized his senses, he regretted the mistakes he made, he ran back to God. As I thought on my ways, I gave serious thought to my ways.

-THE SON OF MAN-

AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS (VOLUME Three) Preached on 24^th December, 2000 PG. 100:27

AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS

Remain blessed O Saints of The Most High God. It is with a very deep sense of thanksgiving and appreciation to the LORD God Almighty that I have come our way to share these experiences just to put us in remembrance of the things we have been taught by the greatest Teacher of all times, Who appeared and called us to Himself with the intention of taking us home to Paradise.

As we see the promised D-day approaching, it is of a necessity that we meditate on the Spoken Word of God by day and by night, with a view to understanding what is expected of us at a time like this.
Great is the squeeze that has befallen mankind, but my earnest prayer for us is that rather than being squeezed out to worldliness, may this long-prophesied spiritual squeeze further help to fully restore all the Saints of God into the Ark.
May the aim of the Almighty be achieved Who Prophesied and has finally ignited all these events around the world just to encourage all His Elect to run back to Him.
Over the years, the Almighty God has opened our eyes of understanding to what is hidden in many ancient manuscripts about Himself and His Elect. God has never hidden the importance of man to Him, for he made man in His own image to look like Him, and after His likeness to act like Him.
God’s patience, mercy and love for man has been steadfast. Even after the expulsion of man from the Garden of Eden, God never abandoned man, but has been sacrificially presenting Himself to Man in all generation just to restore man back to Himself.
The Psalmist asked a question, “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made Him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned Him with glory and honour.” [Psalms 8:3-5, KJV]
What is man that The LORD God Almighty is mindful of him? The straight answer is that God Who is Himself a Man and Who does everything after the counsel of His own will created Man [Adam] as His own direct replica and the very carbon copy of God – God’s look-alike. The express image of The Almighty God. One Who must go back to where he came from.
The Psalmist continued by also asking, “And who is THE SON OF MAN that you have entrusted everything you created into His control?”
The answers to these questions have been emphatically and severally given in diverse ways by the Son of man in this Bridal Age. One of such replies is contained in the Message, A SPECIAL DAY – ANOTHER GREAT DAY; Preached on Sunday 19th August, 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 145 vs. 9 – 10
… I do not resist whatever people say. Whatever you want to say, say for it is your right. If you want to act, you act. If there is anyone higher than Me, who is that person? I AM THE SON. I AM THE FATHER. I HOLD THE KEY TO HELL AND TO HEAVEN. I make laws and I cancel laws. I AM THE SUPREME AUTHORITY, THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE, THE SUPREME JUDGE, THE JUDGE OF ALL FLESH.
The LORD God Almighty also has these to say concerning the Elect in this Bridal Age. [1] “You are My Friends”. [2] You are sons and daughters of the Most High God. [3] You are the only property of God left in this world. [4] You are the most favoured. [5] I AM INCOMPLETE WITHOUT YOU.
How else can we [the Elect and the Saints of God] be best described? The revelation came from no less a Personality than THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the LORD God Almighty Himself, The I AM THAT I AM, Who knows all His works from the foundation of the world and Who knows the end from the very beginning.
He Himself remains the Supreme Potentate, the Creator of heaven and earth, the very Judge of the Living and the dead, the Alpha and the Omega Who exists throughout the eternity of eternities. Q.E.D.
In the First Book of Adam and Eve, Chapter 14 verse 5, this same Personality in the Godhead, THE SON OF MAN promised Adam thus, ⁵And I, who am without years, shall be subject to the reckoning of years, of times, of months, and of days, and I shall be reckoned as one of the sons of men, in order to save you.”
According to the seventh generation Prophet, the righteous Enoch in his Ethiopic Book Chapter 1 verse 2, He that is without years further revealed how He shall make His appearance in this last days thus, ²And he began his story saying: Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in heaven, which the angels showed me, and I heard everything from them, and I saw and understood, but it was not for this generation, but for a remote one which is to come.
We know very well that there is no other generation of mortal human beings that will come after this present generation. This is the remotest generation prophesied in the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, as revealed to us by He that has come in the volumes of the Book that were written concerning Him.
After this Generation cometh no other. After the son of man, Apostle Peter Odoemena cometh no other. And there is no better time to re-awaken the consciousness of who we are as individuals and what we are raised up for.
In this Bridal Age, THE SON OF MAN as a Man has been sojourning with mankind on earth for seven [7] decades now. He has also been in the midst of the Bride for three [3] decades. What do all these mean and portray to the Elect?
THE SON OF MAN always says it that God is complete in seven and perfect in three. He has equally told us that Translation is for the perfect. Again, what do all these mean to the Elect?
This is the time for us to continually be mindful of ourselves and constantly meditating on our ways as individuals with the knowledge of all truth which has been handed down to us.
From an empirical point of view, meditation helps one to understand the deeper meaning of what he or she has been taught. Most times, meditation ends in prayer for mercy. And at other times, meditation ends in uncontrollable praise and worship to the Almighty God. This is Wisdom.
After a transcendental meditation, the Psalmist expressed himself thus, ¹³Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. ¹⁴Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. [Psalms 19:13-14, KJV]
This is the time when the words of my mouth which I utter must be according to the abundance of the knowledge of the full truth I have stored in my heart.
This is the time when the heart and mouth of every true Elect of God will only accommodate whatsoever things that is true, whatsoever things that are honest, whatsoever things that are just, whatsoever things that are pure, whatsoever things that are lovely, whatsoever things that are of good report. These are the things that can minister grace, uplift the spirit and encourage the hearers unto good works.
This is the time when our meditations should end in strong resolve and supplications even as the Lord God Almighty had shown us that of the Psalmist in the Scriptures.
Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep Thy Words. I entreated Thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to Thy Word. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. [Psalms 119:57-61, KJV]
This is the time when the meditations of our hearts must remain acceptable in the sight of our Kinsman Redeemer.
The Message that went forth the Sunday we started fellowshipping in our different tents where we now worship God in spirit and in truth is titled Evaluate Youself. Let us see the LORD’s interpretation of what should be the target, aspiration, condition or qualification for all the Saints of God as we see the D-day fast approaching.
Evaluate Yourself Part 1 Volume 1; Preached on Sunday 29^th March 2020; Chapter 2 verse 44. UNTIL THE PURITY OF YOUR HEART EQUATES THE PURITY OF THE BANQUET HALL, YOU WILL NOT SIT DOWN THERE.
For all Paradise designates who have realized that we have moved away from optional [which is believe it if you can] to mandate, it has now become imperative that we must occupy our thoughts with the life-saving nuggets of the Almighty Who has been our Teacher in person all these years.
Some of these thought-provoking nuggets of infallible truth can never be overlooked by a serious-minded person, for this is wisdom given to the Elect just as the 7^th generation Prophet, Enoch penned down in black and white in his own days thus;
And then wisdom shall be given to the Elect, and they shall all live and never again sin, either through forgetfulness or through pride: But those who are given wisdom shall be humble. [Ethiopic Book of Enoch chapter 5 verse 9]
The wisdom of God is nothing but the Word of God which goes to the Elect only and makes him or her humble, lowly, and meditative. Then the Elect stores the Spoken Word in the heart and prays regularly for divine insight and sustenance on the Straight Path as we await the appointed day of the translation of our mortal bodies.
Let us consider a few of these re-awakening nuggets of wisdom which can only be heard from the lips of the Almighty and which are meant for our constant meditation, spiritual upliftment and alertness.
[1] YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING CONCERNING THE SON OF MAN, BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE SON OF MAN IS THINKING ABOUT YOU.
[2] WHEN HISTORY IS FORGOTTEN, THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST MUST BE REPEATED.
[3] TO BE COMPASSIONATE IS TO DO THE WILL OF GOD.
[4] PARDON IS NOT PARDON UNTIL IT IS ACCEPTED. A GIFT IS NOT A GIFT UNLESS IT IS ACCEPTED. YOU CANNOT REJECT AN ENVELOPE AND ACCEPT THE LETTER THEREIN.
[5] IGNORANCE IS A DELIBERATE MISFORTUNE AND A SELF-INFLICTED INJURY.
[6] EDUCATION REMAINS THE SHORTEST CUT TO ERADICATING POVERTY. WE ARE HERE TO EDUCATE, TO ENLIGHTEN AND TO INFORM. ONCE AN INDIVIDUAL IS NOT INFORMED, SUCH A PERSON IS DEFORMED.
[7] THERE IS NO REASONABLE EXCUSE BEFORE GOD, FOR EVERY EXCUSE IS A PART OF YOUR PROBLEM.
[8] EVERYTHING EYES CAN SEE ARE TEMPORARY.
[9] IF THE WORLD IS MOVING TO THE LEFT GO TO THE RIGHT, AND WHEN THE WORLD MOVES TO THE RIGHT, CHANGE AND GO TO THE LEFT, FOR THE ELECT MUST NEVER BE FOUND MOVING IN THE SAME DIRECTION WITH THE WORLD.
[10] THE FIRST BEST DECISION ONE TAKES IN LIFE IS THE CHOICE OF THE GOD HE OR SHE WILL WORSHIP.
[11] THE WORST CRIME A FAMILY CAN COMMIT IS TO GANG UP OR CONSPIRE AGAINST THE TRUTH.
[12] LIFE IS NOT ABOUT MAKING CONTACTS BUT about MAKING IMPACT.
[13] YOUR POVERTY OR WEALTH WILL NOT TAKE YOU TO PARADISE OR HELL, BUT THE WAY AND MANNER YOU MANAGE YOUR POVERTY OR WEALTH WILL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU WILL GO TO PARADISE OR HELL.
[14] CIRCUMSTANCES OR SITUATIONS IN LIFE DO NOT MAKE YOU WHAT YOU ARE, BUT RATHER REVEAL WHO YOU ARE.
[15] WHEN MONEY IS LOST, NOTHING IS LOST. WHEN LIFE IS LOST, SOMETHING IS LOST, BUT WHEN CHARACTER IS LOST, EVERYTHING IS LOST, FOR CHARACTER MAKETH A PERSONALITY.
[16] IT IS BETTER THAT PEOPLE ADJUDGE MY MESSAGE OR DOCTRINE TO BE OF THE DEVIL, BUT MY CHARACTER AS THAT OF CHRIST.
THE GREATEST STUMBLING BLOCK OF ALL THE AGES IS “GOD IS A MAN”.
Who is adequate to make these heart-quaking remarks if not the Rock of Ages. He has remained the Rock of offence to the lost, but The Rock of our salvation even in that last generation.
One of the most striking things about the second advent of Christ [The Resurrected Body] is that He split it into first and second missionary journey. He had made it categorically clear that this second missionary journey which started in 2008 will terminate abruptly and at a time when nobody is expecting it.
And those that are not expecting it must be those that have given themselves over to forgetful spirit and who have already been swallowed up by worldliness and the pride of life.
Another striking thing about this second missionary journey of the Resurrected Body, THE SON OF MAN is that He has repeatedly said, “If I notice that the members of the Bride of Christ Ministry worldwide are not believing, even after all I have revealed to you, I will take My family to My home, prepare them and take them away.”
What do all these revelations from the Greatest and the Most Compassionate mean to the true Elect? This is the time for every Elect of God to constantly search and meditate upon the Word of God as we are squeezed into our flight to Glory.
The battle ground has always been the heart. The centre of control and the throne of the one that controls the human being is the heart. The heart remains the home and throne of the Word of God, which gives the receiver [Elect] a guide the Pathway of righteousness.
The labour of THE SON OF MAN to have a home in the hearts of all the Elect worldwide is in line with the Prophecy of the LORD Jesus Christ in the Book of John which says, “…And they shall all be taught of God [have Him in person for their teacher. …”[John 6:45 AMP].
In another portion of the same Book, Jesus also prophesied thus, “……HE will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). ……” [John 16:13 AMP]
And as the Creator and the Controller of all that is created, visible and invisible, the Scriptures documented thus, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:”[Isaiah 46:10]
Whether it is called Word, instruction, injunction, statutes, law or Message from God, the aim of God had been to separate His own from evil. This evil is nothing but rebellion, disobedience, opposition and hatred for His Word and which manifested from the day Adam was created. This was manifested by no other person but Iblis, the devil and his multitude of fallen angels.
From then onwards, God had never ceased from using His Word to cause a separation between those that belong to Him and those that oppose Him and rebel against Him.
THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the LORD God Almighty has used the analogy of “sheep” and “goat” more than any other when referring to the Elect and the non-Elect – the obedient and the disobedient; the chosen and the rejected; the saved and the lost respectively.
What then makes the difference? If we take a deeper insight and meditate on the trend of the Messages we have received from the Throne of Grace all these 3 decades of His walking in the midst of the Bride, we will simply find out that THE SON OF MAN has never failed to introduce and re-introduced His Personality as the LORD God Almighty to our hearts.
Acceptance of this unquestionable fact paves the way for the entrance of His Word into the heart of His hearers. Wisdom makes the hearer of this great truth never to stop at the level of hearing, but to proceed to the level of understanding, with a view to acting according to the Word.
Understanding of the Word of God means the readiness to put it into practice the same way the LORD has instructed it should be done.
This is the aim of THE SON OF MAN, so that all who have made it a habit to act according to His Word will then walk undistracted along the Word-Way, the narrow way and the Straight path to Paradise.
He has achieved this in the Prophesied and positionally placed “FEW” that are made for the future world who have made their hearts the home of the Word of God and are focused on the destination to which the Word of God is pointing.
Something is required of all the Elect. We all know it that the end of this pilgrim journey will be the translation of our mortal bodies. We shall then wear the immortal body that is totally insensitive to anything that is not divinely oriented.

And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For you are God’s temple, the home of the living God, and God has said of you, “I will live in them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.” That is why the Lord has said, Leave them; separate yourselves from them; don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you, and be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters.”

2 CORINTHIANS 6:16-18

LIVING BIBLE

THE ELECT MUST BE TOTALLY SEPARATED UNTO GOD

As we move forward to the saving of our souls, let us be reminded that it has earlier been stated here that when history is forgotten, the mistakes of the past must be repeated.

Let us not forget that the days of Jared, the father of Enoch was also a day of translation. They were all dwelling on the Mountain of the LORD as a type of holy and high calling, but Enoch’s brothers and sisters defied the Message of Separation which was preserved and kept for them from the days of Adam through six generation. Remember, that was also the 7th generation from Adam.
The numbers and the attendant events herein must sink well with all true Elect as we consider our ways and our own time.
The Message of separation was first handed down to Adam and Eve who were instructed to have nothing to do with Iblis [Satan] who defied the instruction of the Almighty Allah on the very first day Adam was presented to the Hosts of angels as the one made in the image and likeness of God and for so that the angels should prostrate and worship Him.
Surah 20:116-117. ¹¹⁶And (remember) when We said to the angels: “Prostrate yourselves to Adam.” They prostrated (all) except Iblîs (Satan), who refused. ¹¹⁷Then We said: “O Adam! Verily, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So let him not get you both out of Paradise, so that you be distressed in misery.
Adam failed to remain separated from the devices of this avowed enemy of mankind. After he had fallen prey to Satan’s antics and was expelled from Paradise, he learnt the hard way and subsequently devoted his time to instructing his third son the righteous Seth on the need to permanently separate from the evil one.
2nd Book of Adam and Eve, Chapter 8 verse 14 through 15. ¹⁴“But now, O Seth, my son, place thyself at the head of thy people; tend them and watch over them in the fear of God; and lead them in the good way. Command them to fast unto God; and make them understand they ought not to hearken to Satan, lest he destroyes them. ¹⁵“Then, again, sever thy children and thy children’s children from Cain’s children; do not let them ever mix with those, nor come near them either in their words or in their deeds.”
In the days of Jared, the children of Jared rather refused to walk along the Word-Way, but chose the ways of music, fashion, eating and drinking of alcohol, violence, promiscuity, rape and the use of weapons as were developed by Genun, a descendant of Cain who was greatly inspired by Satan.
With his ability to use iron to form weapons of man’s destruction, he started forming confederacies, divisions and alignment with all that will agree and come with him.
Remember what the LORD had told us in this Bridal Age. He said that when the world [the descendants of Cain] is moving in a particular direction [be it music, fashion, eating and drinking, violence and all sorts of obscenities and sexual perversion, jesting and joking, and all forms of entertainments and games, use of inexplicable slangs and idle words or flagrant insensitivity to the truth], we should move in the opposite direction, and that we should never move in the same direction with this perishing world.
Remember that in Ages past, even before the flood of Noah’s day, there was a physical [or geographical] separation between the righteous and the unrighteous descendants of Adam. While the righteous descendants of Adam were dwelling on the Mountain of the Lord, the descendants of Cain [inspired by the opposer of truth and a murderer himself] were quarantined to the base of the mountain. A debased people.
But today, these two sets of people are walking side by side on the face of the earth, and God has been calling for a total separation from them spiritually and otherwise.
Let us meditate on this revelation as documented in the Bible once again, though we know them very well.
Isaiah 55:6-9, KJV. ⁶Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: ⁷Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. ⁸For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. ⁹For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 8:12. Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. KJV
If we truly believe that we are sitting in heavenly places with the LORD, it should be a revelation that we are in that same Mountain from where Enoch was translated.
The difference is that while the mountain in the days of Enoch was a physical mountain, and we are currently on mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem which a spiritual height that passeth human understanding.
The spiritual level of a true Elect which is so high and above the base where the children of disobedience operate can only be perceived through his or her godly composure or when he or she opens up in defense of the Faith.
And what is expected of us at this most precarious moment is steadfastness in our total separation from all manifestations of unbelief which easily manifests as opposition, rebellion, insensitivity, indifference or weakness towards the engrafted Truth revealed by God.
We should be mindful of all the signs and symptoms of unbelief which readily manifests as loss of appetite or outright allergy to the food which only THE SON OF MAN gives and which not only endureth to everlasting but preserves the receiver unto everlasting life in Paradise.
We will continue to comfort ourselves, and it must be with the Word of God which is the light unto our feet as we walk with the LORD on the Straight Path.
Now, let us go back again to this same food which only THE SON OF MAN gives so that we may get a spiritual reawakening or reassurance.
FAMILY MENU Volume 1; Preached by THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena at the Household of God Onitsha; Chapter 2 verse 5. First of all, I want you to see yourself as a child of God. …
The very first thing for us Elect is to have the consciousness of the reality that we are the children, descendants, heirs and representatives of the Most High God Whom the world do not know and will never accept.
Remember that you can never be deceived unless you are confused. And confusion emanates from forgetting or not being sure of your status in Christ.
Your status in Christ is made manifest by the utterances of Christ towards you and your experiences in Christ. These are the two legs with which an Elect walks like a gallant soldier he or she is. Yes! There are female soldiers
Let us also know it that there is no nation on earth that does not have a female general in its army. And physical things type spiritual. Even if you are a female Elect so to speak, you are in the same army or flagship with the male counterparts. You take the same orders from the only One and true Field Marshal – Christ, the son of man.
Every man in this army of Christ is then expected to train the members of His family until they all attain the rank of a General, man and woman alike. A level where they will have their own revelation of Who Christ is and His mission in the Bride.
Do we have an example of a Family where all the members are Generals in the army of the LORD? The answer is YES! If you do not know, know it today that the immediate family of the son of man, Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN], the Field Marshal, the Commander of the Hosts of the Army of Heaven is made up of Generals.
We are expected by this visionary expression to realize who we are first. The prodigal son did not realize who he was until he departed from the pathway of truth and ate the food meant for pigs. The daughter of Jacob did not realize who she was even after she was defiled.
We do not need to go the way of eating the food meant for pigs or be defiled with the doctrine of demons before we realize who we are. Even if you do and the LORD’s arms of love are still outstretched as it is to receive you again, run back as fast as your legs can carry you. It only takes one second to make a U-turn. It is the outcome of meditation.
We are expected to walk into the LORD Himself so as to earn his recommendation, His trust and confidence.
The consciousness of who we are must be continuously present in us. Our responsibilities which is attached to our status as Elect of the Most High God must be continuously discharged with every amount of godly sincerity. Our target must be before our eyes at all times, for it is nothing but to be like Christ, a citizen of Paradise – a General in His army.
Let us arise once again and eat, for the journey is not yet over. Family Menu Chapter 2 verse 18-20. ¹⁸No true child of God walks by sight but by divine revelation. ¹⁹Any true child of God that is influenced away from his or her conviction of what he or she knows to be the truth from God on any matter; be it conduct, order or doctrine, must have walked by sight and no longer by divine revelation!
^20.You cannot desire or imitate the world’s way of talking, dressing, drinking, eating etc, until you are out of the way of truth.
This Chapter 2 of the Message Family Menu Volume 1 is captioned ALIENS AND TEMPORARY RESIDENTS WITH EXEMPLARY CONDUCTS.
Verse 21 says, ²¹Since we have recognized ourselves as children of the Most High God, as aliens and temporary residents in this fast passing system of things, we can no longer afford to allow ourselves to become unduly attached to anything within the now existing human framework.
We have an ever-living example in the Queen of Paradise who received this very food from THE SON OF MAN with joy as her name implies, and she is preserved in eternal bliss as an accomplished super Saint — the very first five-star General raised by the LORD Himself.
For all those that are still at ease in Sion, which is the Mountain of the LORD, what are we reminded to do at this time as we see the day of the translation of our mortal bodies drawing nearest with a supersonic speed?
Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the LORD Almighty. [2 Corinthians 6:17-18, KJV]
^[17]That is why the Lord has said, “Leave them; separate yourselves from them; don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you ^[18]and be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters.” LB
THE SON OF MAN has severally warned us never to walk by sight but by divine revelation, for everything the eyes can see is temporary and does not have any eternal value, for they will all perish with the user.
The LORD has consistently hammered clearly on this matter throughout the whole 3 decades He has sojourned in the midst of the Bride, even asking the question lately, “How much are you separated unto Me?”
At this juncture, it will be necessary to ask ourselves some very urgent, necessary and important questions.
[1] Do I really know who I AM? [2] Have I found out or discerned what I am called to fulfill in the Great Family of God? [3] Do I know what time it is?
[4] Do I really have a present continuous consciousness towards my responsibilities as a Saint or Elect of God?
[5] As regards my relationship with others, who are these people of whom I am instructed by God to come out from? [6] And what are they knowN for?
NOTE: The world has never changed their ways. Neither have they changed their lifestyles or modus operandi. They remain those descendants of Cain who are inspired to live a life of opposition to the truth from God.
These characteristics of the descendants of Cain are the programmes the prince of this world, the man of sin, fourth beast and the Roman pontiff, who is still in control of the world still carries on and propagates as clearly interpreted to mean INSTEAD OF THE SON OF MAN.
The son of man is born to righteousness. The Righteousness of the Head of Days, the Ancient of Days as we know can never depart from Him. He imputes righteousness to whomsoever He willeth.
The knowledge, understanding and wisdom which comes from the Word of God [and which is the Message of separation from unbelief] are the ingredients of this gift of righteousness from He that is born to righteousness. This Message of separation is a characteristic feature of Christ’s Ministry in every Age.
The LORD’s injunction for total separation from unbelief in the Ephesian Church Age is a subsisting question to the Elect who may have walked by sight and no longer by divine revelation as documented in the Bible. Let us read meditatively.
¹⁵What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial [the devil]? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? ¹⁶What agreement [can there be between] a temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them and will walk in and with and among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. [2 Corinthians 6:15-17, AMP]
Who am I? Who are you, my Brother? Who are you, my Sister? The answer is a simple one. The temple of the Living God. Earthen vessel with divine content. One that is wonderfully made by the Mighty God whose other title is wonderful.
We are the beneficiaries of God’s gracious gift to mankind and the most favoured. We are the reason for His Parousia. Because of you and I, He came. He has no business with anybody He did not call. Out of those He called in this Bridal Age, He chose us to be His very own.
This is the quick walk which He made by casting His net into the sea, pulling out MANY. He then sat down in the past thirty years as the Harvester of the earth to separate the sheep from the goats; the wheat from the tares.
With the fire from His mouth, He has been purifying the impure ore [base things of the earth] so as to get the Jewel [Gold] which is the essence of His labour all these years.
Consider these words. Sheep – obeying quickly and quietly. Few – not the crowd nor rabble, mixed-multitude nor impurity. SEED – the essence of the farmers labour and patience. Favoured, Chosen, JEWEL, GOLD – the harvest essence of the LORD’s labour
It gives joy to know that I am one of them that are described this way and with these choice words, carefully selected by the LORD God Almighty Himself.

That you are one of the Elects of this age, proclaim it, stamp your feet there. If they ask you how you managed to know, tell them that your God proclaimed it.

-THE SON OF MAN-

DISPUTE AMONG THE BRETHREN “A SIGN OF DEFEAT” AND ONLY PERFECT LOVE PG. 218:73

Remain in your sanctified estate

This Faith of THE SON OF MAN which has been revealed among the Elect is also the Wisdom of God which, according to the prophetic words of Enoch the righteous, shall be given to the Elect only.

This is the Faith of total separation from the world. This is the Word and Wisdom that encourages total separation from the enemies and opposers of our Father, the SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the very Christ and the LORD God Almighty.
The progeny of the unrighteous one is large as it has always been from the days of Cain who had already filled the base of the Mountain with his likes of people through their inordinate desire for sensual pleasure and the gratification of the flesh.
THE SECOND BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE; Chapter 7 verse 16. But by the time Enos was eight hundred and twenty years old, Cain had a large progeny; for they married frequently, being given to animal lusts; until the land below the mountain, was filled with them.
They are still the same set of people causing population explosion in this generation.
The danger which some Elect are facing at this point in time is distraction from the right spiritual target and the attendant attachment to these descendants of Cain living round about us or carnally connected as our relations, classmates/schoolmates, colleagues in our offices and business associates.
Among them, unbelief and disobedience to the truth is fashionable as Satan made it to look from that Friday evening when our father Adam was presented as one whose descendants shall control the future world – and not the angels.
Satan led the first set of his victims among the angels astray by rejecting the superiority of Adam. And as carnal as Satan is, hear his defense borne out of ignorance as contained in the Holy Qur’an.
Surah 7:12 (Allah) said: “What prevented you (O Iblîs) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?” Iblîs said: “I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay.” [Hilali Khan Translation]
Outward appearance and what can be seen with the eyes, quantity and apparition had always been the power of seduction. Let us not forget that what the spirit God hates most is the spirit of seduction.
It is true that God made Adam with clay, but a part of God is inside Adam. The first earthen vessel with divine content. Adam had a part of the complete power of God. Adam was vested with the power to name and control all that God created.
It is only a feeling of inferiority complex due to ignorance of his or her identity that can make an Elect to walk by sight. It can only happen due to a lowered or compromised self-esteem.
First of all, see yourself as a child born into the Family of the Most High God, and then realize that, of a surety, your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of life even before our Father uttered “Let there be light”. A holy and high calling.
We are very privileged to be there when the LORD God Almighty magnified Himself in the midst of His own people on the 19^th of August 2012 showing us His Original Body.
This is what Iblîs does not have, for he is a homeless and itinerant fugitive that is always looking for a temple to occupy because of his inadequacy and incontinence.
Angels cannot be compared to man because angels do not have the Body of God. Angels do not have the image and likeness of God. Angels as messengers are there to serve the interest of God who created and placed man ahead of the angels. Remember, Ye are Gods. I mean the Elect.
Oh! Did we not hear the valedictory report of the Queen of Paradise when she was commanding the angels and asking them, “Is it now by force?”, “I am a super saint”, “Don’t you know that I am the wife of THE SON OF MAN?”, “Go away! I will not go now.”
She was bold, knowing who she was and what she was raised up for. An example of examples. The last meant for the Bride – the Elect
This is the same testimony as we heard of Moses Who operated with the power of the Almighty in his own day as recorded in THE LEGEND OF THE JEWS. How about father Abraham. Did He not showcase his superiority to the angels?
If Mummy Odoemena could perfectly fulfill that which was documented in the days of Abraham, let us not forget the promises that was made to Abraham concerning the salvation of His descendants.
The same Almighty God has spoken that same superlative amazing grace into existence at this dying minute so that we shall know and believe that He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
God had remained incomplete without Adam or his righteous descendants. And He has never failed to tell us in this Bridal Age that He is incomplete without us – His Elect.
On the contrary, the children of disobedience and the enemies of God are genetically and continually oriented to sensual gratification of the flesh and pride themselves about with outwards appearance, when they are spiritually empty.
They are shamelessly flaunting their carnally-motivated wrong lifestyle due to ignorance and lack of knowledge of the truth. They are in the majority. They are all the descendants of Cain and we must of a necessity be eternally separated from them spiritually.
We share the same classroom, office space, markets and business sites, yards and estates with them, but that is the closest they should ever come to us. Their attitude towards the things of this world that belong to them is generally accepted by their kind, but an undue involvement by the Elect is totally in opposition to the Will and Word of God.
Let us once again compare the days of Lamech with what is prevalent in our own generation. The SECOND BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE, Chapter 8 was titled, “Among the children of Cain there was much robbery, murder and Sin.” Let us see verse 1-2.
¹IN those days lived Lamech the blind, who was of the sons of Cain. He had a son whose name was Atun, and they two had much cattle. ²But Lamech was in the habit of sending them to feed with a young shepherd, who tended them; and who, when coming home in the evening wept before his grandfather, and before his father Atun and his mother Hazina, and said to them, “As for me, I cannot feed those cattle alone, lest one rob me of some of them, or kill me for the sake of them.” For among the children of Cain, there was much robbery, murder and sin.
There is no manner of violent crime that is not on earth today. This is the handiwork of them against whom we are warned day and night to separate from.
THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING AS INFECTIOUS AS UNBELIEF. An adage says, “Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.” Let us not easily forget the warning THE SON OF MAN gave us about CONDEMNATION BY IDENTIFICATION.
Surah 7:18 ¹⁸(God) said (to Iblîs) “Get out from this (Paradise) disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all. Hilali-Khan Translation.
It is important that we know that straying away from God carry the same consequences like being cast away by God. The Son of man also revealed to us that unless the world casts you away, Christ can never pick you.
The world must cast one away from their midst as long as you are vehemently opposed to walking in their ways.
The Scriptures said these few things about Enoch, the 7^th generation Prophet. This is the 7^th decade of THE SON OF MANKIND in this last dispensation.
Genesis 5:24, AMP. And Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God; and he was not, for God took him [home with Him].
Hebrews 11:5, AMP. Because of faith Enoch was caught up and transferred to heaven, so that he did not have a glimpse of death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. For even before he was taken to heaven, he received testimony [still on record] that he had pleased and been satisfactory to God.
We are living in the day of translation, not to one individual, but for as many as the LORD our God shall chose in this Bridal Age, which is the very last for humanity.
What was the way of life of Enoch the Righteous? How was he in habitual fellowship with God to the extent that He pleased God satisfactorily? He maintained the strictness of the Message of separation which was handed down to all the righteous descendants of Adam. They were seriously warned to stay perpetually separated from Cain and all his descendants.
The second Book of Adam and Eve Chapter 20 started with this preamble before the first verse. Ravishing music; strong drink loosed among the sons of Cain. They don colorful clothing. The children of Seth look on with longing eyes. They revolt from wise counsel; they descend the mountain into the valley of iniquity. They cannot ascend the mountain again.
Let us consider verse 29-31 of this same chapter 20. ¹⁹Enoch at that time was already grown up, and in his zeal for God, he arose and said, “Hear me, O ye sons of Seth, small and great-when ye transgress the commandment of our fathers, and go down from this holy mountain-ye shall not come up hither again forever.”
The LORD God Almighty warned us generally when we were sent back to our tents to worship Him in spirit and in truth that He has brought us to an unimaginable height. He told us clearly that if anyone should fall from this height, the person will smash into pieces and no piece of the person’s body can be picked.
This warning preceded the Message SECOND SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY, where The LORD also exposed how the possible victims will allow themselves to be taken into captivity.
³⁰But they rose up against Enoch, and would not hearken to his words, but went down from the Holy Mountain.
³¹And when they looked at the daughters of Cain, at their beautiful figures, and at their hands and feet dyed with colour, and tattooed in ornaments on their faces, the fire of sin was kindled in them.
The first ever recorded mass departure took place on the sixth day of creation, on that Friday evening when our father Adam was created.
The moment Adam was presented to the hosts of angels as one created after the image and likeness of the Almighty and the first of them who will control the future world, rebellion manifested among the envious angels.
The majority of the angels rebelled against God in a mass departure from the eternal truth which was based on their refusal to do the bidding of the LORD. This was the first manifestation of INSTEAD OF THE SON OF MAN – vicarius filli dei – the very mark of the beast.
These gang of envious and disobedient angels were instantly excommunicated from the presence of the Almighty eternally, and their leader who is called Iblîs declared an all-out war against Adam and his descendants in all the generations.
The Holy Quran – Surah 7:16-17. ¹⁶(Iblîs) said: “Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path. ¹⁷Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You).”
The Son of man has been warning us lately saying that the devil is not yet dead. Our common enemy is not yet dead. Truly, he has been having his way in previous generations, but should not be given any chance in this generation of the SON OF MAN, from Whom righteousness can never depart and Who as the LORD Jesus Christ had previously declared thus, ^[20]and then teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you; and be sure of this—that I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” [Matthew 28:20]
The famine of the Wisdom of God cannot be traced to the Elect even as this famine has evidently and abundantly pervaded the world who are under the power and control of the devil.
On the other hand, the Word of God which is the Light continues to shine brightly in the midst of the Elect, making it impossible for any of them to be deceived by these multitudes living round about us, manifesting the same thing that deceived the victims of the second mass departure as was seen in the days of Jared, the father of Enoch.
Let us not forget that this mass departure from the truth and the falling away from the Holy Mountain preceded the translation of Enoch the righteous.
Lesson to learn: The descendants of Cain have been trying to recreate an environment that will give them peace as it is Paradise, even trying to conquer time and space with all manner of inventions.
What was Adam eating before his expulsion? Fruits, herbs and water for a drink. Adam never planted nor had a farm. Yet, he had enough to eat.
Today, how many farms do we have in the world where different types of crops are produced? How many types of food and food processing centres are there in the world today? Yet, hunger and starvation pervade the entire human race.
How many famines were recorded in the Garden of Eden? How many health facilities and experts were in Eden? How many universities were in Eden? What was Adam’s area of specialization?
Were there rainy season and dry season in Eden? What did Adam use to cover himself from the rain and heat of the sun? Was Adam making fire sometimes because of cold? How many worship centres and religions were in Eden? How many nations were there?
Which organization was Adam the CEO and Managing Director? How many times did war breakout in Eden and Adam had to fight and win? How many times did Adam relocate due to flooding, wild fires and things like that which are happening daily and afflicting those who have vowed against themselves by saying “Instead of the son of man”?
How many times did God say “Good night to Adam”? Did Adam eat goat meat pepper soup or catfish pepper soup in Eden? Did Adam lament about the food he missed in Paradise or the supernatural nature he lost?
The answer anyone gives to this question will equate that person’s disposition towards the things we met in this world.
With our current pursuits in different directions and after different things, what do we stand to gain, even if we get the essence of that pursuit? Does that thing have an eternal value? Can it be taken to Paradise? Who and who achieved or attained them and took them away from this earth? How many of such thing went with the Queen of Paradise when she gave way?
Science glorifies itself in its discoveries of thing that are already in existence. But science fails to ask the basic question, “Who created those thing science is discovering? Who put them in their places?”
FBI investigated the pictures of the Pillar of Cloud and confirmed that the Supernatural Cloud surrounding THE SON OF MAN is real. Has FBI discovered the true God? Does FBI believe in the true God?
Things that are popular with the world can only be described as meaning nothing and are unacceptable to God.
The Elect are the base things of the world. The rejected and dejected things of the world because they do not have anything with which to compete with the world. On the other hand, they have accepted and upheld the unpopular position which is the truth of God.
If the Message of God our Father is unpopular and unacceptable to the world, why then would an Elect seek acceptance among those who hate our Father’s Message?
There is no heathen that knows as much as we do about THE SON OF MAN and the happenings around Him. He meets regularly with these hand-picked minority who He considers His own. He watches over us in our different locations on the face of this earth with tender jealousy, not willing that any should perish, but that all the Elect should take a second look at his or her position and make the necessary adjustments.
The Elect is expected to reciprocate this divine example, putting it into practice as He has instructed us to close ranks at this dying minute.
Closing ranks here remains minding and upholding the same thing – the Word of God and things of His Kingdom. The judgment of the Elect on every matter should be one, for we have been given everything pertaining to life and godliness with one Message.
The LORD of Hosts is taking a second look at the farm, with the intention of searching out any crop that is not supposed to be left behind.
We are equally expected to search ourselves as individuals to know whether we are still where we are expected to be.

I will forever put My finger there, sign in My signature by day and by night that God can never and will never disappoint anybody that puts his or her trust, confidence, dependence, reliance upon Him. Call upon Him with a pure heart, you can never be disappointed. My signature will perpetually remain there. I am not numbered among such sycophants that will stay behind and give instructions; I stay in front and say follow Me.

-THE SON OF MAN-

FACTS ABOUT LIFE; Preached on Sunday 21^st June 2009; Pg. 105 vs. 19 – 20

AS A MAN THINKETH, SO HE IS

Let us at this moment recline our hearts unto wisdom as many as are conscious of the hour we are living in.

Anyone who has not fallen away from the Holy Mountain which remains The Super Family of THE SON OF MAN to join the enemies of God who have been debased should continually thank THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena for sustenance. This is the well-known superlative amazing grace.
When you ply the highways, you will see big trucks with wise inscriptions on them like “Be careful! Many have gone!” No one can ever be careful if the person is not thinking constantly about avoiding a disaster.
What are your experiences with THE SON OF MAN? Have we not been a part of His executing one thing or the other all these years? What is His attitude towards time? How does He treat one that is either not focused or half-hearted? Distraction at this moment is extremely dangerous.
The children of Jared were not focused on the ways of Enoch and that was why they missed translation in that day. They were busy fixing their eyes on the same thing Satan said he will use to distract the Elect to the extent that they will be demoralized to walk along the Straight Path. All these things are with us today as never before, for this is the time of the final showdown. The devil is fighting its last battle.
I thought about Elisha and I wonder why Elisha asked for double portion of Elijah’s power to perform miracles, signs and wonders. Why did he not plead with his master to go with Him, after being tested three times and was found worthy by his master to ask of anything he wanted? A blank cheque!
When Jesus was about to go away in that dispensation that was allotted to the Jews, He invited his disciples to what can be called the departure lounge of that airport from where Jesus took off.
Remember that Jesus had earlier given them blank cheques also. The same Personality in the Godhead in that day told them plainly, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” [Matthew 7:7-8, KJV]
Jesus went further to elaborate on this same matter when He told his disciples, ¹³And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. [John 14:13-14, KJV].
The Apostles were individually carrying these cheques around possibly without knowing the implications of what they were all holding.
A time came when Peter asked expressly to know what the disciple stand to get, seeing that they have abandoned their relations and associates, the pursuit of the unrighteous mammon, buildings and every other thing to follow Jesus the Christ.
On this occasion, Jesus did not mince words in telling him about what he stands to gain.
^[28]And Jesus replied, “When I, the Messiah, shall sit upon my glorious throne in the Kingdom, you my disciples shall certainly sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
^[29]And anyone who gives up his home, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or property, to follow me, shall receive a hundred times as much in return, and shall have eternal life. [Matthew 19:24-30, LB]
When an Elect returns to Christ, the LORD God Almighty, He breaks the old foundation, rebuilds and rebrands the Elect by instilling in the returnee that desire to put His Word into practice – doing God a service according to His will.
Now, when it mattered most in the days of our LORD Jesus Christ and he was about to depart from the scene, Peter who has been filled for three consecutive years by the master Himself forgot the power that was conferred on him and the rest, for they misunderstood what the Kingdom of God was all about.
Peter forgot that he was one of those in that day who could change the hand of the Almighty God with his simple requests made according to His will. He forgot that he was one that can halt the Almighty God with his cry.
Peter forgot the power that was conferred on him when he simply pleaded with the LORD Jesus to come without delay so as to heal his mother in-law who was very sick at a time. Many of his neighbours were among the numerous beneficiaries in a single evening.
Before Jesus departed from them, hear the disappointing yearning of their hearts – their last request as was presented by no less a personality than Peter.
⁶So when they were assembled, they asked Him, Lord, is this the time when You will reestablish the kingdom and restore it to Israel? [Acts 1:6, AMP]
A political yearning that does not have any bearing whatsoever with either the Message of Christ nor eternal life.
Now, this is our own day, and no longer the days of either Elijah or Jesus the Christ.
In this Bridal Age, I remember what happened one Sunday during the central Fellowship at GTC Onitsha when the LORD God Almighty commanded all that were present during a prayer line to utter in their heart one thing any one of us would like God to do for him or her. It was a blank cheque.
I do not know what others asked for because the instruction was, “Utter it in your heart.” I know what I prayed that God should do for me. The LORD sealed all our prayers and supplications with the following words. “AS YOU HAVE REQUESTED, SO THE LORD WILL DO.” A Blank cheque!
This is the injury time! This is harvest time! Harvest has come to the level of gleaning! The time for God’s second look at the farm to harvest that which should be taken home.
What do we do? What is our pre-occupation? What are the meditations of our hearts as individuals? Is it still our heart desires over-riding the will of God?
If we are waiting for one thing, what is that thing? Do we really want to be partakers of that thing?
One who is using a radio or a telescope must, first of all, do a coarse adjustment of the tuning knob. On getting the target radio station or the target view, the next thing is to do fine tuning to make it clearest either for the best sound or view.
Tuning the radio when all the stations have shut down is meaningless, for you cannot get any station within the frequency bands anymore.
What is our spiritual position now as individuals? What do you desire at this closing hours of human history? Are you standing alone with Christ or are you still undecided as to your choice between the Way of Christ and the world’s affairs?
What business has an honourable member of the Super Family of Christ with the miserable comforter who is a mere tool in the hand of Iblis to distract from the Straight Path? Definitely none!
Can you discern or identify a miserable comforter? Can you identify an honourable member of the Super Family of Christ?
Going a little deeper, could THE SON OF MAN’s accumulated leave be related in any way to the dreams that were made public by His approval in the Bridal Faith some years back?
Most of the dreamers saw themselves in Fellowship with the SON OF MAN and the Brethren. At some point in the dream, the dreamers reported that the son of man told the Brethren who had gathered in the Fellowship hall, “Wait for Me here. I will be back.”
But then, as soon as the son of man left the hall, many strayed away from that honourable gathering for one flimsy excuse or the other, thinking that the son of man will spend a long time. The outcome was not just secret and sudden but beat the imaginations of all that strayed away hollow.
The son of man returned shortly afterwards and translated the few that remain eagerly waiting in the approved place – in the Word – in the Ark – in the instruction.
What are you thinking concerning your eternal destiny? I do not know of any referee that was called to question for stopping a match at a time he deemed it fit to be stopped. Physical things type spiritual.
What is that thing putting you under undue pressure at this very moment? Marriage? Burial? Job? Academics or examination? Travel? Scholarship? Business?
Remember the decider examination instituted and supervised by THE SON OF MAN? How have you fared in the decider examination? Do you know the implication of a poor result?
The Ramadan is coming to an end. The end of Ramadan is the Salah. The final showdown is in the making. Will you be on Elijah’s side or on the same side with the worshippers of Baal? Who will be a part of Allah’s Supreme Success?
If as an Elect who has been positionally placed by the Almighty Himself, one deliberately misplaces him or herself due to inordinate desires and carnal considerations, how will this superlative amazing grace of gleaning help such a one?
There is no time for thinking anymore. Run for your dear life, for time is finished. The door that was slammed open by the Elohim Himself may be closed sooner than anyone thinks. It is going to be a secret and sudden event which only the self-existing One knows.
The Trumpet has sounded and resounded. We are not ignorant of the fact that this superlative amazing grace will terminate abruptly. What manner of people ought we to be at a time like this?
Let us consider these two nuggets. [1] YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT, BUT ONE THING REMAINETH. What is that thing which remains? [2] IF YOU KNOW YOU HAVE BELIEVED IN ALLAH, WALK ALONE.
Consider yourself and your position/status in Christ. Are you still where you are supposed to be? Have you in any way strayed away. Do you still have the tendency to stray away from the Word of God at the slightest apparition?
As it stands now, we are expecting only one thing from God. On the other hand also, God is expecting only one thing from all His Elect scattered all over the globe.
While the Elect is expecting the translation of their mortal bodies penultimate to being ushered into Paradise, God has said that translation is for the perfect.
Translation is for the beneficiaries of the cross of Calvary who contributed nothing for this costly salvation, but are just expected to acknowledge He that paid all the debt which the Elect could not pay.
¹⁴For by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy. [Hebrews 10:14, AMP]
²⁸Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for and expecting Him. [Hebrews 9:28, AMP]
Why are many found unthankful and ungrateful to God even at this dying minute? Is Iblis succeeding in his vow to distract the Elect to the extent that God will not find you thankful anymore?
Has Iblis succeeded to the extent that you cannot sing hymn and songs of praise to the LORD God Almighty for what He has done for you? Is your case not different from that of the miserable world, O Elect.
One of our worship song says, “When I think of the goodness of my God and all He has done for me, my very soul shall sing ‘Alleluia!’ and praise God for saving me.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18-19, GNB. ¹⁸Be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus. ¹⁹Do not restrain the Holy Spirit;
To remain in your sanctified estate; to remain in that invisible union and in right standing with the Resurrected Body, what He wants is that we should be thankful in all circumstances, for we were told ahead of time about what to expect in this pilgrim journey, especially towards the last lap.
In Matthew 21:16, the Scriptures highlighted the wisdom of God thus. And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Babes, people without knowledge, sucklings, totally dependent on God, ninnies, nonentities, base things of the world, the rejected and the dejected, but all of whom have been bestowed with the knowledge of the full truth to stand as Christ on their two feet.
What is expected of us at this hour? Is it to compete with the perishing world in the acquisition and accumulation of the perishable things of this world that are devoid of any eternal value?
Another song of praise [Psalm] composed under anointing has the following lyrics; “With my heart and my mouth shall I make known unto the world God’s faithfulness in all generations. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD. Forever I will sing of the mercies of the LORD.”
Why and how has it become common in our hearts and eyes that the LORD God Almighty Whom we never invited met us on our way to perdition, counted us worthy and put us in this last living vehicle on the Pathway to Paradise?
Do I need GSM data bundle to meditate on this all-important treasure in My hands? Do I need to go to market to purchase any musical instrument with which to make melody of thanksgiving and praise to He that saved me and my family from this untoward generation?
Am I still doing God a service according to His will? Why are many weak, tired and uninterested in the things of God? Why are many distracted from the Super Family of THE SON OF MAN at this critical time?
How else can the Elect show gratitude if not to abandon every other thing, cling to the Mahdi and swear oath of allegiance to Him never to depart from Him?
How can one claim to be waiting for the revealed destination without any form of eagerness and steadfastness?
Even if we were not expecting anything before we met Christ Who came our way from the opposite direction, have our eyes of understanding not been illuminated by the Spoken Word to know the mind of God concerning us and the way we should conduct ourselves at this very moment?
There is no pilot, captain or driver who knows his job and who does not constantly instruct and warn his passenger all through the journey. What is more? Obedience to such instructions makes the journey a pleasurable one.
There is no pilot, captain or driver that cherishes the presence of hesitant and rebellious passengers on board.
Does the passenger have an OKAYED ticket? The answer is yes! Is the passenger’s name in the manifest? The answer is yes. But the problem is that the passenger is not consistently found within the confines of the regulations guiding travelling in that vehicle or craft.
Sometimes, one begins to wonder what the interest[s] of such passengers are and the thing[s] that may possibly be distracting such passengers who will always believe that nothing can happen to them since they are holding an okayed ticket.
Then the following questions arise: What shows that you have been patiently, constantly and eagerly waiting for the last announcement from the Captain of the ship of salvation? Have you forgotten that this is the last flight that will take the Elect Home? Are we not acquainted will the manner of the Greatest pilot of all the Ages? Who is that person giving the guarantee of a second chance?
Are the Elect not waiting for the last proclamation to be made by THE SON OF MAN? Where is our vigilance?
In conclusion, let us share this benediction, and Word of encouragement preserved for us by our Father and the Elohim in the Message BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION Part 1 Preached on Sunday 21^st November 2010 by THE SON OF MAN Apostle Peter Odoemena [PBUH]; Pg. 116 vs. 37-39. ³⁷Your salvation draweth nearer now than when you first believed. Purify your heart. Purify your heart. Purge yourself of evil conscience. Make sure you have the conscience void of offence before God and before man. Let nothing offend you. This is the hour of trials and temptations.
³⁸Watch and pray that you enter not into diverse temptations. Look up to the LORD, your Saviour, your Redeemer in the time of trouble, the only God, the Creator of heaven and earth, the Great Jehovah that created the whole universe, Who is able to keep you and sustain you from falling against that day; and He is capable of leading you to the end.
³⁹Verily verily, I say unto you, “Rely not on your powers. Rely not on your strength. Boast not on your wealth nor your building. Boast not with your friends nor anything else. Depend on the LORD God Almighty. Depend on His grace. Depend on His mercies. Do not depend on what you can do, for without Him, you will achieve basically nothing.” The help of man is vain.
Pg. 118 vs. 45-49. ⁴⁵Offer yourself unto God as a living sacrifice, holy, pure and acceptable in His sight. It is your duty as a child of God. ⁴⁶Are you offended by anybody? Be the first to forgive, for the simplest way of getting forgiveness from your Father lies in forgiving one another. There is no guilt you cannot forgive. There is no offence you cannot overlook.
⁴⁷When you pray, forgive all that have offended you. Forgive one another that the Father in heaven will not lay any blame or charge against you. Be at peace with all men. Whatever it seemeth, count not the cost. Strive to be at peace with all mankind.
⁴⁸May the LORD of heavens and earth keep you from falling, deliver you from diverse trials and temptations until the day when your salvation shall be made complete in Him. This is My fervent prayer for all of you.
⁴⁹To God be the Glory forever and ever. Amen! Shall we say Amen, So be it LORD!
