GOD IS ONLY INTERESTED IN THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS

I Welcome you all, Saints of The Most High God to this gathering in the comfort of our home. Our gathering is unto the Lord for we worship who we know. We do not worship an imaginary God. We are worshipping the Supernatural God, the Ancient of Days in His tabernacle among men.

He is so good to us and we owe Him a great lot of gratitude in this life and even in the life to come. We give Him all the honour, all the thanksgiving, all pre-eminence, all the glory, all the praise and worship.
I want us to always have it behind our minds that we are worshipping and serving the Supernatural God. All His messages we have received and are still receiving, go contrary to our human nature.
So, if you are still a natural man, a natural woman, both young and old, you cannot understand and assimilate the messages for they will always sound meaningless to you. The messages are meant for spiritual men and women, both young and old.
John 4 vs. 21-24, NIV. Woman, Jesus replied, believe me, a time is coming when you will worship THE FATHER neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
You Samaritans worship what you do not know, we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS will worship THE FATHER in the spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of WORSHIPPERS THE FATHER seeks. God is Spirit and His worshippers must worship in the spirit and in the truth.
The entire world around us worship what they do not know, but we worship what we do know. Now is the time when the true worshippers will worship The Father who is in His Temple; His tabernacle among us in the spirit and in truth.
God is spirit and His worshippers must worship Him in the spirit and in truth. God is worshipped and honored in spirit and in truth. Nobody can worship Him in His spirit form. So the invincible God is dwelling in a visible vessel called The Son of Man; Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN].
In what way does He dwell? In the spirit form. And the invisible spirit takes the shape of the visible vessel. The Son of Man; Apostle Peter Odoemena that we are seeing now, is the visible container carrying the invincible spirit. The fullness of the Supreme Spirit is in Him therefore, taking His shape.
His hand is the spirit’s hand, His height is the spirit’s height. His stomach is the spirit’s stomach. His leg is the spirit’s leg. His eye is the spirit’s eye. That is why I am confidently sure and certain, that when you and I see The Son of Man, we have seen The Father, for He remains the visible manifestation of the invincible God. The visible representation.
Join me as we consider this topic. WORSHIPPERS OF THE TRUE GOD – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, MUST WORSHIP HIM IN THE SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. Now I want to put you in remembrance that God is worshipped and honoured in spirit and in truth.
We have to know what the meaning of worshipping, honouring, and serving the Lord God in spirit and in truth is all about. Let us get the meaning as we turn to the message, WHERE WILL YOU LIKE TO SPEND YOUR ETERNITY? Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 5^th July 2020. Page 23 vs. 2-4.
Worshipping and serving the Lord in spirit and in truth means putting all our wrongs right. Repeat! Worshipping and serving the Lord in spirit and in truth means putting all our wrongs right.
If you and I refuse to put all our wrongs right, we are not worshipping and serving the Lord in spirit and in truth. This single act of refusal goes to show that we do not recognize and accept Him for who He really is, The Almighty God.
Any fault we have noticed through the preaching of the word of God or through the pricking of our consciences if our consciences are still alive. Because anybody who is a seed of God, the moment he strays away from the truth, the conscience will arrest that person immediately.
You disregard, dishonor and disrespect God – Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] by refusing to put your wrongs right. And you are against yourself and destroying yourself and not God.
Let us proceed to the message, MIRROR Volume 1. Preached by The Son of Man during the family altar on Tuesday 23^rdJune, 2020 at Mount Zion. Page 32 vs. 38. What is true worship? We have true worship, and we have false worship. Any worship that is not based on truth is false worship.
Any worship that is not based on revelation of the truth, goes to show that Christ cannot be identified in that worship, for Christ takes side with truth, for He is truth Himself. There is no variableness in Him.
Page 33 vs. 43-45. ARE YOU ACTUALLY WORSHIPPING HIM ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, OR ARE YOU WORSHIPPING HIM ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN WILL, WHICH IS USELESS BEFORE HIM? WORSHIP OUTSIDE HIS PERFECT WILL IS WORSHIPPING AMISS.
FOR YOU TO WORSHIP GOD IN TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT, THE WORD OF GOD MUST DWELL IN YOU. THE WORD OF GOD [IF IT DWELLS IN YOU RICHLY] WHICH IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD, WILL ALWAYS LEAD YOU TO GIVE GOD ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP.
You are either a churchgoer or a true worshipper of God – Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN]. Now, that takes us to the message, ARE YOU A CHURCHGOER OR A TRUE WORSHIPPER OF GOD? Preached by The Son of Man. Page 45 vs. 14-16.
A churchgoer is a segregator, a politician. He is only coming to stay with his colleagues. A churchgoer is a sniper. Anyone that does good things is his enemy. He will say that the person is seeking recognition. This is a sniper! That is why the bible said that they are those that sneer at those that do good. These are churchgoers.
A true worshipper does not have time for all these things. He is always concerned by day or by night of what he will do to receive blessings from God. What he will do to please God, that he might not stand condemned before God.
A churchgoer feels good wherever he finds himself. This will be evident by the type of life he lives. He takes everything for granted because he is a churchgoer.
A true worshipper takes his business (that is whatever he is doing) serious. He is well convinced. You don’t tell him stories. You don’t talk to him twice because as he is moving, he looks into his life, always considering his ways. For he is sure of what he is doing and would not like anybody to tell him long stories. A churchgoer is not like that.
Page 47 vs. 19-21. God has touched our lives. I will not know whether God has touched your life until you leave this place. If after leaving this place your life remains the same, no single change, it is a proof that you are merely coming to church to fulfill all righteousness.
Anyone coming to church will see someone coming here as one who does not know what to use his money for. One who has no better occupation. He sees him as a fool. “What are you going there to do? Alright lets go there today and hear what they have to say. Let us hear their stories”. This is a churchgoer! The only good thing he sees is dancing or the day of merriment. He will eat and drink his turn. That is the only day he sees the Holy Ghost came down. That is a churchgoer, a church member.
Who are those God is interested in? Is it the churchgoers? No! It is the true worshippers. That is why He warned in the past when He brought them out to the wilderness, from the land of the heathens. He did not tell them anything rather He gave them only one commandment, “only listen and obey my words that it might be well with you. Any day you disobey my word, you shall be destroyed”. Amen!
Let us turn to the message, MIRROR Volume 1. Page 39 vs. 62. You see, a true worshipper is one who worships God in spirit and in truth, and does everything according to the perfect will of God. He allows God to have His way in his daily life. God is the decider in whatever he is doing.
Now stop and ask yourself these pertinent questions. [1] Do you allow God – Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] to have His way in your daily life? [2] Is He the decider in whatever you are doing? Don’t just ignore these questions. Rather, take your time right now to answer them. Your sincere answer will help you never to abuse the great privilege and opportunity God is giving to you.
Page 46 vs. 4-22. There are thousands of people out there that want to worship God, but God did not give them the opportunity to do so.
Have it at the back of your mind therefore, that when you are living in disobedience to God’s words and instructions, you are abusing the privilege given to you by God to worship Him. Pure truth!
The saying that, “Church is in the heart. Where and how one worships does not matter, provided you are sincere, after all, we are all worshipping and adoring the same God” is a fallacy. WHO YOU WORSHIP MATTERS A LOT.
Paying attention to anything outside Christ, the Supreme Being, the Supreme Intelligence, the Creator of the universe, the Almighty God is nothing but idolatry. Sincerity is not a guarantee or an excuse why you should worship at any altar. Yes! This is so because, you can be sincerely wrong.
You can never be sincerely right until whatever you are practicing is the revealed word of God in your own day. Practicing anything outside the revealed truth from God in your own day marks you out of salvation, your sincerity of heart notwithstanding. Did you get the message?
Even with the sincere heart, Saint Paul subscribed to the killing of Saint Stephen, persecuted the Saints with innocence of heart. Did it justify him before God? He was sincerely wrong.
“And Saul was there, giving approval to his death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. But Saul began to destroy the church going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison. [Acts 8 vs. 1-3 NIV]
So stop evaluating Christians by what the world thinks about them or by what they seem to be like on the outside. Once I mistakenly thought of Christ that way, merely as a human being like myself. How differently I feel now. [2 Corinthians 5 vs. 16 LB]
So let us avoid being sincerely wrong. My heart is pure. My hand is pure. There is nothing troubling me. You are wrong means you are wrong. Begin to seek a way out. Do not look for defense. If you look for defense, the devil will capitalize on that and destroy you out rightly, making it impossible for you to see your error.
HEAR ME VERY WELL. A MAN WHO IS ALL OUT TO DEFEND HIS ERROR, INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING CORRECTION, IS A POWERFUL INSTRUMENT IN THE HAND OF THE DEVIL. AND HE WILL NEVER COME OUT OF THAT ERROR UNTIL HE DIES.
That is why correction goes to somebody who has the fear of God in his heart, and who will readily accept the truth whenever it is given to him without going about demonstrating against whoever must have revealed that truth.
Whoever that reveals the truth that will save your life should be regarded as your best friend, if you should have a friend. “It is better to have wise people reprimand you than to have stupid people sing your praise. [Ecclesiastes 7 vs. 5 GNB]
But people turn out to love deceivers more than those that reveal the truth that will save them from error, save them from eternal condemnation. Is it a lie brethren? You can hardly see somebody who loves the person that corrects him.
Oftentimes, that person is regarded as the known enemy, and is avoided. Who does that? Fools! Fools – who are destined to be destroyed. These are the people that do not value correction, for they are not ready to change their minds and their wicked ways of doing things.
If you want to please The Almighty God, obey His word. When you obey His word, there is nothing impossible for you to do. There is no service you cannot render in the Faith.
A wise fellow will use this ministration to speak to him or herself. It is very, very important that we speak to ourselves seriously.
Turn with me to the message, THE SECRET OF SURVIVAL LIES IN CHRIST. Preached by The Son of Man in the morning altar on Saturday 21^stFebruary, 2015. Page 21 vs. 3-11. Our lives are in the hands of Jehovah. That is why our whole duty is to worship Him in spirit and in truth for our own good and not for God’s own good.
This is why we overlook a lot of things. Why do we give God the worship? Is it for God’s own good? What does God benefit that we worship Him? If we refuse to worship, will that make Him not to be The Almighty God? Will it change God? You see, this is where human beings stumble. They lack wisdom to fear and worship God.
Anybody who is obedient to God is obedient to God for his or her own good. Anything you do with the fear God, you are doing it for your own good, because as you go ahead to live in inequity and disobedience without attaching any importance to anything, you are making yourself an enemy of God. You are trying to make God turn His back on you, and anybody God has turned His back against is doomed.
When you come to a level where God does not care about your condition, God does not even listen to your prayers and supplication, your crying means nothing to Him, even if you like, kill yourself, of what use is your life here on earth then?
What then is your mission on earth? Such a fellow is doomed. That is why all our praises to God, all our worship to God, all our obedience to Him is for our own good. It is well with God already. God does not require the help of man. Nobody would live and even progress in this life without the help of God.
Who then requires help? Is it God? It is a human being that requires help. If you want to benefit anything from God, it is left for you to seek the face of God and also make sure you find His face. It is left for you to make sure that you are in right standing with God.
God does not seek the face of any man. He is not interested in any man’s face. He has been the self-existing One since the world began and He remains the only self-existing One.

You are not as God made you; you are as you have made yourself. That is why God said, when you come face to face with the Son of Man and remain as you were it is a sure sign you are not a seed of God. For if you are a seed of God, you cannot come before the Son of Man and remain the same again. – THE SON OF MAN –

FACTS ABOUT LIFE: Preached on 21^st June 2009; Pg. 80 vs. 47

ARE YOU CHURCHGOER OR A TRUE WORSHIPPER OF GOD?

Let us turn again to the message, ARE YOU A CHURCHGOER OR A TRUE WORSHIPPER OF GOD? Page 68 vs. 4-10. It is the duty of God’s children to worship Him so we are not pleading with anybody to worship God, and God is not begging anybody to worship him.

He that is worshipping God is doing so for his own good and that of his family. You don’t worship God so as to favour Him – He is already contented with Himself. There is nothing you can do for God. It is you that needs God’s help. God does not need your help. Bear this in mind.
A church goer feels that he is favouring God but a true worshipper knows that God is the One favouring him or her. A true worshipper worship’s God for all the good things God is doing for him. When he remembers all the goodness of God towards him and his family, he lifts up his hands in worship to God.
But a church goer thinks that if he doesn’t worship God, God will die. You see such people in every religious group where people worship what they know not. You can do that in other places, but it is not here. Such a person ought not to be here.
Page 72 vs. 19-21. Are you a churchgoer or a true worshipper? This question goes to you and I. Be it known to you that a churchgoer can never please God. He or she is God’s greatest enemy. God is also his or her enemy. A churchgoer avoids the righteous, likewise, the righteous avoids him. Churchgoers flock together, likewise worshippers go together.
Any one that avoids the righteous is doing so because he does not want his evil ways to be made manifest or revealed. Anybody that turns away from the “light”, there is “darkness” in his or her life.
I am not telling you to be careful because no matter how I preach this message, every man must go the way he is ordained. If you are destined to the sword, you must go to the sword. If you are destined to the gun, surely you must go to the gun. If you are ordained to an idol or church, you must go there. If you are destined to God, you must go to God.
Page 75 vs. 27. Go home and review your life and your ways. Think about how you started your journey in this faith. What brought you into this faith? What has been upholding you since then? What striking things have taken place in your life and convinced you that this is really God? What can you cling to for which you can always praise God? If there is nothing, why then are you still here, what are you doing here?
Page 78 vs. 33. Churchgoers and true worshippers, where do you belong? The truth you tell yourself today will help you tomorrow, for the lies you tell yourself today will torment you tomorrow.
It is better you tell yourself the plain truth which will help you tomorrow. Every one of us is involved, so do not say, “except me”. You do not exempt yourself, tell yourself the truth. Anybody who fails to learn from his experience is a fool. Anybody who does not learn anything at all from his experience is a goat.
The problem many are having is that they are heartless and do not have the fear of God.
Let us go back to the message, WHERE WILL YOU LIKE TO SPEND YOUR ETERNITY? Page 28 vs. 17-34. But today, we are having dealings with heartless people that do not have the fear of God, people that will be in error instead of repenting or looking for a way out, they are looking for defenses to continue in their evil, to harden their hearts against the truth which their consciences bear witness. Amen!
So, this morning I want us to pray within ourselves that God will make us to be numbered among the wise people. For the book of Saint Luke made a demarcation between the wise and the foolish.
HE SAID, WHO IS THE WISE MAN? SAID, IT IS THAT MAN THAT WILL HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE. He is likened to one who built his house on the rock. The tempest touched it, pushed it, the wind pushed it, flood tried it, nature tried it, it stood still because it was constructed carefully on the solid rock.
WHO IS FOOLISH? HE SAID, A FOOLISH MAN IS ONE WHO WILL HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, KNOW IT IS TRUTH, BELIEVE IT IS TRUTH AND REFUSE TO PRACTICE IT AND CONTINUE IN FELLOWSHIP ANYHOW AS IF BEING IN THE FELLOWSHIP WILL OFFER YOU SALVATION IN DISOBEDIENCE.
He said, that person is likened to one who constructed his own house on ordinary sand. You know what that building will look like? No matter how fanciful it will be, said, immediately the flood came, tempest came, the wind came, the whole thing crumbled and the fall was very great. Nothing was picked from the rubbles. [Luke 6 vs. 47-49, Mathew 7 vs. 24-27]
Remember, these are two categories of human beings that were milling around Him. Two categories of people that are found in every family, every fellowship. But I said, may we never get somebody like that person in this family.
MY WHOLE AIM IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO WORTHLESS FELLOW THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THIS FAMILY.
I gave you a message, A WORTHLESS FELLOW IN THE FAMILY OF GOD. In the family of God, in the sense that the person is also continuing in fellowship with the real children of God. We call her ‘sister’. We call him ‘brother’. We number them among our youth because they are rendering one service or the other. For that reason, we give them that inclusion in the number of the brethren. They themselves know that they are not one of us.
They know what they are doing both in their private closets, in their secret closets and in open places. If there is any of us who says he does not know what he is doing, that person is telling lies.
If you also say that you are unaware that the bad thing you are doing is bad, you are also a liar. Because whatever God says is evil, is evil. If God says it is right, it is right.
So, whoever that is indulging in any act God had already condemned, that person knows that he is wrong. If you are doing that which God has justified, you are right. That is why I gave you the message titled, DOING THE WILL OF GOD AT ALL TIMES.
THAT IS WHY A TRUE BELIEVER WILL ALWAYS SAY, ‘FATHER, MAY THY WILL BE DONE. OH, TEACH ME FROM MY HEART TO SAY, LORD, MAY THY WILL BE DONE NOT MY WILL’.
YOU MUST SET ASIDE THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU TO ESTABLISH YOUR OWN WILL. THE SAME WAY YOU SET ASIDE THE WORD OF GOD THAT YOUR OWN MIGHT PREVAIL.
WHOEVER THAT IS MISBEHAVING IS SETTING ASIDE THE DOCTRINES, THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST, SO THAT HIS OWN PHILOSOPHY ABOUT CHRIST WILL COME FORTH.
FOR WHATEVER ANY MAN IS DOING, YOU EITHER DO IT IN THE FEAR OF GOD AND GET APPROVAL FROM GOD OR YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME. FOR EVERY ACTION OF MAN THAT DOES NOT RECEIVE APPROVAL, TRULY SPEAKING, IS A CONDEMNABLE ACT AND CAN NEVER GIVE THAT PERSON THE DESIRED ETERNAL LIFE NEITHER WILL IT GIVE THE PERSON REST EVEN HERE BECAUSE EVERY SINNER IS RESTIVE.
Every disobedient fellow is always restive. Why is the person restive? He has known the truth so the moment he begins to act contrary to the truth he knows very well, he becomes restive because he is being labelled a wicked fellow.
It is better I acknowledge that I am wrong and then plead for leniency than for me to be wrong and claim that I am right. I will be a wicked fellow before God and before man and there is no peace with the wicked and the wicked can never see good days.
What He; the true and living God wants to see in you and I is bearing fruits meet for repentance.
He needs simple evidence of our change of heart, change of mind with His teachings, doctrines reflecting in our daily lives and behavior. He wants to see His fear controlling our character, and see us all doing everything that will be constantly pleasing to Him because we love Him, fear Him, honour Him and reverence Him.
Turn with me again to the message, THE SECRET OF SURVIVAL LIES IN CHRIST. Page 24 vs. 12-18. When you never existed, God was there. Before you were born, God was there. Thus, understand what we are telling you.
As you hear these reports, know that these reports are truth. As you are being trained, you should understand the importance of seeking the face of God in your infancy, having the fear of God in your infancy. Learn to honour God. As you do this, you are paving a very nice road for yourself.
Anyone who develops the fear of God at infancy, knows what it means to honour God, knows what it means to obey the doctrines of God, that child has scaled the problems of life. Such a child has escaped from his enemies. He already has victory. Victory is his. Progress is his. Such a child can never think of failure again, because the life of youth is lived with the fear of God.
If there is any other way you are growing in your life which is not with the fear of God, better start repenting this moment.
Meditate upon this word. That the beginning of your life as a young man or a young woman, you want to enjoy long life here on earth, you want to have progress, you want to have good health, the beginning is the fear of God. That is why the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
Anyone who does not have the fear of God, lacks wisdom beyond measure. One who lacks wisdom also lacks progress, lacks life and does not have any hope in this life, because he or she lacks wisdom.
Thus, the totality of what I have been saying all along, that you do not take anything seriously, you do not progress, you are empty headed is that you lack the fear of God.
Page 29 vs. 1-16. Yes, if you do not take God seriously, you will not progress, you are empty headed because you lack the fear of God. You did not start your life with God and you do not want to continue with God.
An Igbo adage says that your own morning starts when you wake up from your slumber. In other words, you entered the moment you came face to face with the truth. You repented the moment your eyes of understanding were opened to the truth.
What is more, from the time you understood this truth and repented, your life must change straightaway. You can never be what you were before. You will pattern after the song writer who sang that he is not what he was before.
“Since Christ entered into my life, I am not what I was before!” If you do not know what you were before, there is no way you will know when change has occurred in your life.
This is where we are having our greatest problems. People are just sitting down in the church carrying on with their daily, old, shameless ways of living. They are just carrying on. What he knows is that he is going to church. He reads every sermon book to himself, follows in the singing and dancing and every other thing, but there is no teaching that will be so striking as to transform his life.
WHEN THE GOSPEL IS NOT REFORMING YOUR LIFE, IT IS CONDEMNING YOUR LIFE. THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST KNOW. AT ANY POINT IN TIME WHEN THE WORD OF GOD GOES FORTH, IF IT IS NOT REFORMING YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER, IT IS CONDEMNING YOUR LIFE BECAUSE WHEN YOU HEAR, YOU LISTEN AND YOU REFUSE TO OBEY, YOU STAND CONDEMNED.
BUT WHEN YOU HEAR, YOU LISTEN, YOU UNDERSTAND AND OBEY, DEFINITELY, YOU HAVE REFORMED YOUR LIFE. YOUR LIFE CAN NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
THAT IS THE REASON WHY I ALWAYS WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO OTHER GOD’S POWER OF TRANSFORMATION OTHER THAN HEARING AND OBEYING HIS WORD. THE TRANSFORMATION POWER OF GOD LIES IN HIS WORD IF YOU OBEY.
One who is an armed robber and hears that God condemns armed robbery and also believes that it is truth, from that day, will he be involved in armed robbery again? No. His life has changed. If he was a fraudster, will he still go ahead with his fraudulent activities?
That is why God said in the book of prophet Isaiah, “Seek the Lord while you can find Him. Call on Him now while He is near. Let the people turn from their wicked deeds. Let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong! Let them turn to the Lord that He may have mercy on them.
Yes, turn to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. He (God) will wash you and make you new again. [Isaiah 55 vs. 6-7 LB]
THAT IS THE CONDITION! LET THE WICKED FORSAKE HIS WAYS AND UNRIGHTEOUS THOUGHTS. WHAT MAKES YOU UNRIGHTEOUS? THERE IS NO OTHER THING IF NOT THE THOUGHTS OF YOUR HEART. THAT IS THE REASON WHY YOUR LIFE CAN NEVER BE RIGHT.
Anyone who claims to forget things every now and then has something he or she is thinking in his or her heart. There is something such a fellow think is more important which is occupying his or her mind.
God requires from everybody that sense which makes you to take your bath, brush your teeth and dress yourself up. Once these things are functioning in you, you have no excuse to give.
Page 37 vs. 21-25. Your duty is this, these things that God is saying, do you actually take it that you are the one God is talking to? Am I taking it because I am the one God is talking to? Or do I see it as a mere story, so that after listening to the fairy tales, we go our way? Or do I think there is a set of people whom these things are meant for? 3 It is coming to you and I. why is it coming to us? It is for our own good.
When we hear that the thoughts of God towards us are thoughts of good, peace and progress and not of evil, to give us an expected end, how does He make His thoughts manifest in us? It is through His word.
If you do not hear the spoken word from God, you can never know what God is thinking concerning you. It is through the spoken word from God that you know the mind of God concerning you.
That person that will see you on the path of foolishness, flog you, bring you back and show you the better way, are His thoughts concerning you not thoughts of good? He that warns you with His word, pointing you to the right path wherein you will benefit, is it not out of love? He that points you to the way you will follow even when you have not embarked on the journey, does He want you to miss the way?
It is out of love that the Almighty God – Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] is warning you and I with His word, pointing us to the right path He created for us wherein we will benefit.
Therefore, what is expected of us? We are to reciprocate this love of God towards us. For worship is as a result of love for God and not because we do not want to go to hell.

Discipline yourself and then be focused. Let your whole attention and cares be towards attaining your goal. Give no room to any distraction. Do not allow distracters to come your way. Do not even mingle with fools, for they have nothing to offer you but foolishness. If you must associate with people, associate with progressive individuals for they have a lot to impact in your life. Turn your mind away from all negative thinking, all negative behaviours. And then speak positively, act positively, think positively and watch God.

WE WORSHIP GOD IN LOVE

Let us proceed to the message, EASTER SEAL Volume 1. Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 4^thApril, 2021. Page 47 vs. 6-10. IF THE FEAR OF HELL IS COMPELLING YOU TO OBEY GOD, YOU MUST GO TO HELL. I SAY IT AGAIN. IF YOU ARE OBEYING GOD, WORSHIPPING GOD WITH THE FEAR THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO TO HELL, I SAY, YOU MUST GO TO HELL.

HE THAT MUST WORSHIP GOD MUST WORSHIP GOD BECAUSE HE LOVES GOD. HE IS GOD’S CREATURE. HE IS CREATED TO WORSHIP GOD. THAT IS HIS WHOLE DUTY AND HIS WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY, FOR THE ESSENCE OF GOD CREATING MAN IS TO RECEIVE ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP FROM MAN.
YOU SEE IT AS YOUR OWN OBLIGATION WHILE YOU LIVE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IT THAT WAY, BUT YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO AVOID HELL FIRE, YOU WANT TO AVOID PUNISHMENT, LET ME TELL YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO HELL. YOU MUST MEET WITH THAT PUNISHMENT.
FOR ANYTHING YOU ARE DOING TO REMAIN ACCEPTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, IT MUST BE DONE IN LOVE. AND THAT LOVE IS THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH GOD FIRST OF ALL LOVED US AND GAVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR US. HE FIRST LOVED US. WHAT WE ARE DOING IS RECIPROCATION OF GOD’S LOVE. IS IT NOT TRUE? It is true sir!
What we are really doing is reciprocation of His love, now that He is physically and spiritually present with us only, for He is not here for the entire human race.
Many are called but few are chosen. Why were we the few chosen? The bible said just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. If you and I are chosen of the Lord, that selection will give you joy because you are sure you are chosen of The Lord Himself and not by any human being.
A sign of acceptance of the message is, you will conquer your old sinful habits. And a sign of rejection is this, you will never conquer your old sinful habits.
Turn with me to the message, GOD IS USING YOUR SUFFERING TO MAKE YOU READY FOR HIS KINGDOM Volume 1. Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 1^stDecember, 2019. Page 31 vs. 37-38.
WHEN YOU REJECT THE MESSAGE, IT MUST REFLECT IN YOUR CHARACTER. IF YOU RECEIVE IT, IT WILL ALSO REFLECT IN YOUR CHARACTER.
A SIGN OF REJECTION IS THIS, YOU WILL NEVER CONQUER YOUR OLD SINFUL HABIT. YOU WILL BE COMING TO FELLOWSHIP, READING THE BIBLE, READING OUR MESSAGES, MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS AND DOING EVERYTHING. YET, YOUR OLD SINFUL NATURE REMAINS THERE. WHY? YOU REJECTED THE MESSAGE.
Our Lord and God – Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] is “The” Apostle and not “an” Apostle. The visible representation of the invincible God is the only one who can gather all the loose ends which are portions of the truth, tie them together to enable us understand His mind concerning our salvation and our eternal life.
It behooves on The Apostle to lay hand on them, document by document, script by scripts (ancient scripts) page by page, line by line and precept upon precept to tie the jigsaw puzzle together until our hearts will be burning as it is now with the truth.
Now, let us proceed to the message, BE STRONG IN THE LORD Volume 3. A teaching by The Son of Man on Sunday 18^thApril, 2021. Page 142 vs. 17-18. ‘In many separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] fore fathers in and by the prophets;
[But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] son, whom He appointed heir and lawful owner of all things, also by and through whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order]. [Hebrews 1 vs. 1-2 AMP]
So, those portions of the truth have to be gathered that we may see the sincerity of God concerning our salvation. Amen!
Those portions of the truth have been gathered by our Lord and Master Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] and we have seen the sincerity of our God concerning our salvation.
The word of our God is now in our hands. Whatever you want to do with the word, it is now in your hands. But do you have the power to do whatever you want with the word of God? My answer is no for you don’t have such power.
Turn with me once again to the message, EASTER SEAL Volume 1. Page 79 vs. 66-75. [Not in your own strength] for it is God who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire] both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. [Philippians 2 vs. 13 AMP]
You do not have that power. If you say you have that power, God will allow you to use your power and you will see where your power will end it. By the arms of flesh, by the power of your hand, no human being has ever prevailed against God.
So it is not by power. Neither is it by our might. It is just by the grace of God, lest we begin to boast. We are not in any way better than those people who are crucifying the word of God everyday, who are living the life nailing Christ to the cross everyday.
When we are preaching the resurrected Christ because He has resurrected in our lives, they are preaching the crucified Christ. For everyday, Christ is on the crucifix. Everyday Christ is in the grave. Everyday, Christ is hanging on the cross.
The Christ I am preaching is not in the grave. He is not on a cross. He is not! He is risen, and not today. He did not exceed two days and two nights. They say, “three days, three nights”, check very well. I know how many days it lasted.
PAY ATTENTION! HE IS NOT RISEN UNTIL HE HAS RISEN IN YOUR HEART, AND THE DAY’S STAR SHINES BRIGHT, ILLUMINATING YOUR PATH, FOR HE IS THE DAY’S STAR. IF THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT THE LIGHT THAT IS SHINING IN YOU, YOUR WHOLE BODY IS FILLED WITH DARKNESS.
BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN. IF THE LIGHT THAT IS IN YOU IS NOT THE LIGHT OF CHRIST, DARKNESS HAS COMPREHENDED YOUR EYES AND YOUR HEART. AMEN.
It is not knowing Him as the Almighty God that gives you salvation. It is worshipping Him according to His will. Therefore, we all need the spiritual mirror; the means by which we can see ourselves for who we really are.
No mistakes about it. No misplacement of who you are and who I am. No misinterpretation, for the mirror can never tell lies about the picture. The spiritual mirror gives us the true picture of our hearts; Which is our real being. Begin to watch yourself, while I watch myself.
Join me as we go to the message, MIRROR Volume 1. Preached by The Son of Man during the family altar on Tuesday 23^rd June, 2020 at Mount Zion. Page 23 vs. 11-13. THERE IS NO MIRROR GREATER THAN TRUTH. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE? NO MIRROR IS GREATER THAN TRUTH.
ANYBODY THAT CANNOT SEE HIS LIFE IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH IS NOT SINCERE TO HIMSELF. HE IS ONE THAT IS DECEIVED BY SATAN. SATAN HAS ALREADY CAUSED THE PERSON NOT TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH.
ONCE YOU BELIEVE THE TRUTH, YOU WILL BELIEVE IT BECAUSE YOU ARE SEEING YOURSELF IN THE TRUTH. YOU ARE SEEING YOUR ACTIONS IN THE TRUTH.
What is truth? Truth is of God and God is truth. Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] is the truth. He is the Light, and the Life. No man cometh to the Father except through Him. You have to pass through Him, the Door, to get to the Father who dwelleth in Him.
Let us turn again to the message, ARE YOU A CHURCHGOER OR A TRUE WORSHIPPER OF GOD? Page 87 vs. 16-18. How to follow God. A worshipper of God is patient, trustworthy. You must be patient with God, you don’t follow God by force, just like a farmer waits patiently for his crops to germinate.
This is how to follow God, gradually picking it, kobo – kobo, (half kobo). Also, have the spirit of truth and avoid living above your capacity, because this is one of the things that put people into trouble. When you start to live a life higher than your income, you have put yourself into confusion.
Slow and steady wins the race. Conditions are the same everywhere. BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN TRUTH. PUT GOD FIRST IN WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING SO THAT HE CAN BE WITH YOU IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVORS.
No matter how this truth is being preached, it remains useless until it is obeyed by you and I. For every true worshipper is covenanted to God, therefore obedience is his nature, just like wool is the nature of the sheep.
Everything pertaining to God and the way He wants us to worship Him have been made manifest. They have been revealed, so we are without excuse. Turn with me to the message, EASTER SEAL Volume 2. Page 30 vs. 40-45. You must call upon the name of the God you worship, for every man must worship his own God in His own name.
Traditionally, here in Igbo land, worshippers of Amadioha cannot take what is for Amadioha and give to Iyi-ojii. The two are two different gods. And when you ask the man, “Are you a worshipper of Iyi-ojii?” he will tell you no, “I worship Amadioha. I worship Nkpokiti. I worship Omaliko”.
There is no God that does not have a name. what is the name of your own God? This is because your God has a name. I will show you scriptures that your God has revealed His new name and the power.
Every true Elect of God has come to the realization that it has been God and God alone that has been talking to us all these years to banish unbelief. It has been God, the Supreme God, the living God alone doing all these supernatural things we are witnessing in our midst.
Don’t be careless in a period like we are in right now. For in your foolish and careless manner, you can make yourself unacceptable in the sight of God, when you become stubborn, arrogant and uncontrollably bad. What will God do to you? He will withdraw His spirit from you and then the devil will possess you. It has happened to others even in our midst so that we can learn a lesson using them.
Page 43 vs. 8-15. All of us here, can we learn a lesson? Are we mightier than Him? You think you are mightier than God. You see why it is a delicate thing for anybody to prove stubborn to the word of God.
It is very delicate for anybody to prove stubborn to God. God will surely use that individual to exhibit the totality of His power to destroy and to render absolutely useless, no matter who you are.
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR RECORDS MIGHT BE IN THE PAST, THEY ARE ALL FORGOTTEN, FOR THE RIGHTOEUSNESS OF THE RIGHTEOUS CAN NEVER SAVE HIM IN THE DAY OF HIS TRANSGRESSION.
Do we not have a message like that, that the righteousness of the righteous can never save him in the day of his transgression.
The message said that your subtlety, cleverness, smartness, arrogance or haughtiness, academic attainment, your wealth and whatever you think you are, your status can never save you if God is against you. Where will the person run to and the Almighty God will not catch him.
Page 76 vs. 14-15. TO WORSHIP GOD IS TO LIVE LIFE ACCORDING TO HIS COMMANDS, NOT TO RUN AWAY FROM IT.
On the other hand, worshipping God in disobedience is incurring His wrath, for God does not regard worship from an unrepentant fellow. You are even annoying God. It is an abomination before God. And whatsoever you are doing, in the sight of God, you are doing His work with a deceitful heart in other to win friends of the people, not friends of God.
Let us once again go to the Bible. Genesis 4 vs. 7, KJV. And if thou doeth not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shall rule over him.
We continue in the same message, EASTER SEAL Volume 2 Page 47 vs. 21-25. When God says, “sin lieth before a man” or at thy door, He is telling you “destruction is now at thy door”.
When you do good, God says, “salvation is now at thy door”. Now salvation is at your door as a result of your righteous deeds and your good heartedness.
But death and destruction has arrived and is waiting for you at your door due to your evil heartedness, and your stubbornness, for God had warned you and you remained stubborn. Yet, He is pointing it out for you.
What follows sin? Is it not death. What is the wages for sin? Is it not death? The wages of sin is death. The reward for righteousness is eternal life.
But now, since you have been set free from sin and you have become the slaves of God, you have your present reward in holiness and its end is eternal life. FOR THE WAGES WHICH SIN PAYS IS DEATH, BUT THE [BOUNTIFUL] FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE through [in union with] Jesus Christ our Lord. [Romans 6 vs. 22-23 AMP]
It has become very clear to us all that what follows sin is death, and the reward for righteousness is eternal life. So if any of us allows unrighteous life to become his or her habit and culture, what will such a person expect as his or her reward at the end? Death of course.

FACTS ABOUT LIFE: Preached on 21^st June 2009; Pg. 80 vs. 47

BE WISE AND RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

Turn again with me to the message, THE SECRET OF YOUR SURVIVAL LIES IN CHRIST. Page 44 vs. 3-6. WHEN YOU BECOME A FAILURE IN LIFE AS A RESULT OF YOUR WILLFUL DISOBIDIENCE TO THE TRUTH, YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS PUTTING YOURSELF TO SHAME.

YOU ARE THE ONE THAT WILL BE ASHAMED WHEN YOU WILL NOT BE LIVING UP TO YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. YOU ARE THE ONE TO BE PUT TO SHAME. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT WILL BE CASTIGATED.
BUT WHEN YOU START FROM THIS INFANCY NOW AND DEVELOP THE FEAR OF GOD, LEARN TO BE QUIET, LEARN TO MEDITATE, LEARN TO THINK ABOUT YOUR INDIVIDUALITY, THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE, THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING AROUND YOU, THINK BEFORE YOU TALK, THINK BEFORE YOU ACT, BECAUSE ALL YOUR ACTIONS MUST HAVE SOME CONSEQUENCES WHETHER GOOD OR BAD. THIS IS PURE TRUTH.
IF YOUR ACTION IS GOOD, IT WILL ATTRACT GOOD CONSEQUENCES. IF YOUR ACTION IS BAD, IT WILL ATTRACT BAD CONSEQUENCES. THUS, THERE IS NO WAY YOU ACT RASHLY WITHOUT PAYING DEARLY FOR IT. IF YOU DO NOT PAY TODAY, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT IN THE FUTURE.
Page 59 vs. 35-37. This is purely how this life is. You must pay for your carelessness in one way or the other. That is why we say, “Labour today and enjoy tomorrow. Work now and then you play later”. But if you are playing now, you are going to pay for that playing because you played at the wrong time. At a time when others were paying you were working. When they will start to be playing, you will be working. As it is in infants, so it is in adults. That is the reason why the search for the black goat is done during the day time. A wise child starts early so as to save himself embarrassments.
You better understand these facts. Our duty is to inform, to educate and to enlighten. Amen!
Page 62 vs. 1-5. IF YOU ARE WISE, YOU WILL KNOW THAT WHATEVER YOU DO NOW IS WAITING FOR YOU IN THE FUTURE. WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING TODAY WILL DETERMINE WHAT YOUR TOMORROW WILL BE.
ANY ACTIVITY YOU ARE INDULGING IN NOW WILL DETERMINE WHAT YOUR FUTURE WILL HOLD FOR YOU. THAT IS WHY IT IS VERY, VERY IMPERATIVE THAT YOU SEEK THE FACE OF GOD FROM INFANCY.
ALLOW THE FEAR OF GOD TO DOMINATE YOUR HEART WHICH WILL RESTRAIN YOU FROM EVIL. FOR THE FEAR OF GOD IN THE HEART OF MAN RESTRAINS HIM FROM EVIL HABITS, EVIL ASSOCIATIONS, EVIL TALKING AND EVERYTHING.
ANYBODY THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THERE IS NO WAY GOOD THINKING WILL ENTER HIS MIND. IF GOOD THINKING COMES, HE WILL WAVE IT ASIDE.
HE WILL BE POSTPONING IT UNTIL HE WILL NOT DO IT. HE WILL KEEP ON POSTPONING IT UNTIL HIS MATES WILL LEAVE HIM BEHIND.
IF YOU ARE A WISE FELLOW, MOVE WHEN OTHERS ARE MOVING. OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.
Page 85 vs. 1. Why I am saying all these things is for you to understand what we are saying. THE SECRET OF YOUR SURVIVAL, PHYSICALLY, SPIRITUALLY, MATERIALLY, LIES IN DEVELOPING THE FEAR OF GOD WHICH WILL ALWAYS RESTRAIN YOU FROM EVIL HABITS. Page 89 vs. 9-12.
THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN WALK IN A PATH GOD IS AGAINST AND RETAIN GOD’S FAVOUR. GOD IS WITH YOU WHILE YOU ARE WITH HIM. IF YOU FORSAKE GOD, HE MUST SURELY FORSAKE YOU.
THUS, IF YOU DO NOT WANT GOD TO FORSAKE YOU, WALK WITH GOD. ABIDE IN CHRIST, OBEY HIS INSTRUCTIONS.
WALK TOWARDS WINNING GOD’S APPROVAL AT ALL TIMES. WALK TOWARDS BECOMING OBJECTS OF HIS PLEASURE AND TOMORROW WILL BE BRIGHTER THAN TODAY.
YOU CAN REGRET EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE IN LIFE, BUT YOU CAN NEVER REGRET SERVING GOD. NOBODY HAS EVER REGRETTED SERVING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. AMEN.
If you do not want God to forsake you, walk with God. What makes us children of God is our obedience to the word of God. If we are found in disobedience, we are heathens.
Turn with me once again to the message, EASTER SEAL Volume 2. Page 130 vs. 22-26. THE POWER TO MAKE A CHOICE OF BELIEVING OR NOT BELIEVING IS CONFERRED TO YOU.
THE LIFE WE ARE LIVING, I BELIEVE, IS A LIFE OF DECISION. A LIFE OF DECISION. IF I DECIDE NOT TO BELIEVE, NOBODY WILL COMPEL ME TO DO OTHERWISE.
IF I DECIDE TO OBEY, I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE DISOBEDIENT ONES. MEASURE YOURSELF FROM THE POINT OF OBEDIENCE TO THE REVEALED CHRIST AND HIS MESSAGE. PLACE YOURSELF.
TO WHAT EXTENT HAVE YOU BEEN OBEYING? IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN OBEYING IMPLICITLY, WHAT AND WHAT ARE YOUR REASONS, FOR YOU CANNOT BE OBEYING AND AT THE SAME TIME BE DOUBTING.
YOU CANNOT BELIEVE AND DOUBT. YOU CANNOT DOUBT AND BELIEVE. SO WATEVER MIGHT BE YOUR REASON FOR NOT SUBMITTING YOURSELF TOTALLY FOR THIS PERFECT AND ACCEPTABLE WILL OF GOD FOR HIS CHILDREN, THAT IS YOUR DESTROYER.
THAT IS WHAT MARKS YOU OUT OF GOD’S REDEMPTION PLAN.
God is looking for a family with a changed mind, changed character. Individuals with changed mind, changed heart and changed character.
Page 162 vs. 38-39. If you are in this Faith and you have vowed a vow that you will never change, you are a fool because the bible said, – Though you put a fool in a mortar, pound him well, yet his foolishness will not depart and no man can change the colour of an Ethiopian, his colour remaineth the same.
Somebody vowing a vow against himself, that he will never repent and that he will never drop his evil. Is he not the greatest fool?
Page 54 vs. 43-45. That is why I am not making a mistake at the gate. The sifting is about to be completed. I know the small number of people that remains for me to complete the sifting at the gate.
And the moment it is over, that self-same day, translation must take place for that is the verdict.
That is the result of all His investigative judgment in the Bride. Then the wrath of God will descend upon the children of disobedience. We will now see the number of disobedient people we have harboured in the Bride of Christ Ministry, and even in our families.
In closing, let us go back to the message, EASTER SEAL Volume 1. Page 155 vs. 65-71. Pay attention! Christ is here at last. He has been here for many years now.
But this time around, He is rounding off His stay. He has overstayed. And He is saying to all of us that if He should wait till all the Elects will come in, that He may stay here endlessly.
Now, He has decided to go home with the much that have volunteered to enter the Ark. The lifeboat will take off any time from now.
And it is going to be unannounced to the world, but announced to the Elect as individuals.
As individuals, for He is not taking you as families. He is taking you as individuals. All that have met His qualifications, the standard set for all men and all women, be rest assured.
All that have met the standard by covenanting with Him, for He wanted to, be rest assured. To the rest, I say, weep exceedingly, for what is ahead of you is greater than you. What is about to befall this earth is greater than all mankind.
Whatever you are seeing as signs of troubles, the real trouble will soon unfold from now. The entire human race will run helter skelter for the last time, and not even one will escape, for the hand of God has fully rested upon this whole earth for destruction and not for salvation.
So I will rather conclude by saying, “RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!” On this note, I say remain blessed eternally in Him.
