DISPUTE AMONG BRETHREN VOL. 1, PG. 3

Every woman must represent the interest of her family; every husband must represent the interest of his family; every child born in that family must stand out and make sure he or she represents the interest of his or her family. Everybody is involved. I am involved the same way you are involved.

The Lord told us ahead of time that whatever we esteem higher than our family is the thing that will break up our family. If you value your work more than your family, surely, your work will destroy your family. If you value your in-laws more than your family, your in-laws will destroy your family. If you value your relations more than your family, your relations will destroy your family.

          Whatsoever that thing might be, I don’t care; as long as it has overriding influence over your family, it must have adverse effect on your family; whether you like it or not. And for that reason, God is not closing His eyes over the wickedness that is being perpetrated in many families among us by our husbands and wives, and oftentimes by our children.

–The Son of Man

Examine Your Family Life, page 59 verses 10-13.

CORRECT THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST

HOLY COMMUNION AND PROPHECY”, go through that message. The Lord will interpret the message for you. There, He told us that He has delivered us from the bondage of Law and then gave us Grace.

  • In that message, He said Law administers sin. He told us that we were in the bondage of Law, and if He would leave us there, we would all perish. He then gave us liberty, the Law of liberty.
  • Since the message was read on Wednesday, families are having problems. Women started manifesting what is in them. What you were having all along is euphoria. There is no single wife that believes in this Faith. Are you hearing it? Let nobody kill his own wife. Even my own wife, Nzubechi.
  • That is why I said it that when I am on the pulpit, it appears as if I am running mad. There is no single married wife that is in the Faith of the Son of Man. Not even one! Whoever that knows the one he thinks is in the Faith of the Son of Man, let him say that one, and I will show him what he does not know.
  • What is happening never started today. When the message “HOLY COMMUNION AND PROPHECY”, was read in the pulpit, it got to a stage where everywhere was tensed.
  •  I tell you that in 99.5% of our families, since the day this message was read, no wife has embraced her husband with our usual salutation of “Remain Blessed”. It has not happened. The only thing you will hear is “Good Morning”, if she will salute at all. I do not blame them.
  • There is something they are saying in their hearts. Those that are courageous speak it out of their mouths. In spite of the word the Lord said here, “SAY AFTER ME; TAKE YOUR DECISION TODAY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO CORRECT THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST”.
  • It was as if that was the most provoking. It was as if they were charged under an oath. Not even one opened her mouth on that day. Nobody believed, because you do not believe until you understand it. They never understood the message in the beginning.
  • From the time they understood the message, they started reacting, and that is when salvation comes. It is from the moment you understand something that the thing would begin to have impact on you. What they thought it was, is not what it is!
  • If we should say when this message is understood, it is now. That is why all that kept quiet before have all became violent. The understanding they had then was very shallow—very, very shallow understanding of the truth.
  • They had a very shallow understanding then, but it is now they are having the in-dept knowledge of the truth. See them biting their fingers with their teeth, regretting their marriages: that if they knew it would be like this, they wouldn’t have believed, as if they believed before. They never believed.
  • That is why I like Okechukwu Nwamkpa. If you read the message titled “HEAD STONE”, Okey Nwamkpa started asking for our prayers from the very beginning. He made it plain that he couldn’t cope. He continued requesting for prayers, saying he was battling with the devil. He then asked how, after seeing the glory of this Apostolic Faith with the Hand of God on it, he would still walk away from it.
  •  That he knew it was doom if such thing would happen but all the attempt he had made to wriggle himself out, the devil did not allow him. He then exclaimed, “Church if you love me pray for me. I am now the devils greatest enemy”. 1994!  He kept exclaiming this until finally the devil pulled him out.
  • When God said, “You should FIND OUT THE SIDE THE DEVIL IS OPERATING IN YOUR LIFE”, if you fail to discover it, there is no way you can ever have victory. It appears to you that it is the devil.
  • At times, I ask myself, “What actually is the devil?” The spirit you yield yourself to is the one that will work in you. If you yield yourself to unbelieving spirit, that is the one that will work in you. But if you yield yourself to believing spirit, that will also work in you.
  • So whatever reaction we are seeing now from our wives and children, we should bear all with joy. After all, it is not because of salvation  that we married.
  • There is nobody that discussed this Faith with his wife before getting married to his wife. There is no living woman that is finding it easy. I am the one telling you this! There is no living woman that you present this Faith to before marriage and she will still agree to marry you.
  • It is only the children born in this Faith, both male and female, because they never tested any other thing called Church or religion or teaching. So they are pure virgins. This Faith is the only thing they know.
  • They were brought up in this Faith. When they marry as husband and wife, they make very good homes because each of them knows what the other one knows. It is in their blood stream. Talk of your wife (Apostle Ojiakor’s wife) and My wife (Son of Man’s wife), it is a different matter. All our efforts are aimed at stopping them from collecting our children from us. They are hardened up.
  • If we allow women to speak on the pulpit like in the denominations, everybody will be on the run! There are some now, including my wife and your own wife, who are regretting not only this Faith, but their marriages as well, saying in them; “So of all, it is this man that is marrying me?”
  • That if she had known that this marriage would turn out to be like this, she would not have gone into it. That she never expected to see what she is seeing in this marriage.
  • Any time they are quiet, you think they are sober. They are having communication with the devil. I am telling you the truth! Even my wife; it is common to all!
  • I told you, let us stop pretending! Do not exclude any sister. They are the same! But there are some that their own is very much pronounced. It is just like the way your wife’s name is being mentioned from the pulpit. I like it, truly speaking! That is God’s manifestation of love!
  • What of those whose names are not being mentioned? The husband knows he is in hellfire. He knows what is happening in his family but because the wife’s name is not mentioned from the pulpit he appears quiet. You need to be in the fellowship in my house where I stay with elders.
  • What is killing women is much. Women, there are many things that kill them. There is not even one married sister in the Faith of the Son of Man. There is a part they believe.
  • Once is it said, “Husbands, take care of your wives, provide for your family,” you hear: “Eeeeeh!” That is when Holy Ghost is in the Church but do not ever mention that a woman should obey, honor and respect her husband.
  • GOD CONCLUDED THE MATTER BY SAYING THAT EVERY WOMAN IS OF THE DEVIL. I do not say it in secret. Every woman is of the devil. If not for this Faith, we would not have anything called virtuous wife. We, the husbands, we are still searching for one. We have not found one. When they want to deny, they will deny all.
  • When she denies, she will deny even the message she heard with her own ears. Even the message HOLY COMMUNION AND PROPHECY, there is a way we will read it or handle it, your wife will no longer accept that it was preached in 1997. She will think it is because of her that you want to handle it this morning.
  • Even if she does not know anything to say, she will ask you whether it is only this message that you know. She will react, saying that any day a message is preached and her name is not mentioned, it is no message.
  • It is common to all of them! Any day she is so much upset, she will not come to family altar. If she comes at all, she will cause trouble. She will stay in the kitchen and will be issuing order; ordering the children about.
  • She will call this one; then call the other one. The next thing, she will rush to the toilet. It is common to all of them! They have many ways of doing it. My wife does it, your wife does it. All of them.
  • There is something you say now, like her responsibilities to children, she will not be happy again. How you will know you have caused trouble for her, is that she will avoid all her responsibilities, leave the work in the home, go to bed, lie flat with her face down on the bed and cover her face with pillow.
  • She covers her face down so that you don’t see her face, pretending she is sick. You think she is sleeping. She is awake, hearing every discussion going on in the house! She is thinking about something: “What have I done in this house, what have I done?”
  • Every time, “What have I done?” This is because no woman can find fault with herself. She will find out the fault of everybody but can never find out or discover her own fault, no matter the message you preach. Amen.

IT IS NOT EASY FOR A WOMAN TO BELIEVE GOD

Note it, you see these children, they have understood the message. There was a message I preached. It was this same message that was read in the fellowship on Wednesday. I handled it in the family altar.

  • When my wife heard the message with her ears, she displayed her displeasure by reminding Me that the children should go to school that morning.
  •  I asked her, “Are you the one taking them to school? Has there been a day they have ever been late to school? Am I not seeing the wall clock?”
  • She then came up with another way to show her displeasure, saying, “Let nobody open the door again. If any of you opens this door to go to school, you are guilty”.
  • She got up when she became very uncomfortable. I raised my voice so that I could be heard from the neighborhood. Immediately she noticed it, she told me that I should better use a microphone or megaphone so that my voice would be louder.
  • They do that because by nature, all women want to be worshipped by men. I am the one telling you this; their problem emanates from their inability to know the source of the message.
  • In the book of Galatians, chapter 4, Paul said to the Galatians: “You know the source of my message”. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE SOURCE OF THE MESSAGE YOU ARE HEARING, THAT MARKS YOUR DEATH; YOUR FAILURE STARTS FROM THERE.
  • Like lately, I was talking to my children. I said, “The Lord will teach you how to succeed, He will teach you how to prosper. He will teach you in your businesses, how to profit. Why do you fail in your examinations? Is it because you do not study? But you spend a lot of time studying night and day.
  • “But when the result comes out, it won’t be encouraging. Why? It is because you do not know the secret of how to succeed. You have not learnt it and you have not been taught about. The way you presented your facts did not impress your examiners enough.
  • “You studied it. You have got the knowledge but the presentation is poor. You know it but the presentation never pleased your examiner because you were not taught the secret of how to succeed. It will take the Lord to teach you how to succeed, how to prosper, how to profit.”
  • Sister Ojiakor, you are nodding now in accordance because I am the one saying it, but if your husband says it, your reply will be, “Yes, let me be foolish, let me be foolish”.
  • There is another thing that baffles me about women; it is better that another person other than her husband mounts the pulpit because whatever her husband preaches from the pulpit, she would attribute it to any discussion they had.
  • If another minister mounts the pulpit and touches on her “no go area” while preaching, she would say that her husband had discussed with that minister over the phone; that her husband had nothing doing, than phoning everybody, telling them about her. This is a dangerous spirit.
  • In conclusion, I have a consolation. There has never been any man that presented wine to the parents of a woman to marry her for the sole purpose of worshipping God. If you know any man that has ever done it in this world, mention his name.
  •  On my side, I have a consolation. Let me tell you the truth. The day I handled that message in my family altar, brought it to the pulpit, hell was let loose.
  • If I marry an Egyptian wife, I know and that is what I married because there was nothing like eternal life or worshipping of God discussed.
  • Two, if you watch my in-laws, there is nobody from Nsugbe that is in this Faith and there is nothing that will make them come into this Faith.
  •  They will love this Faith and cherish this Faith like the Egyptians. They can give us refuge but to be a part of this Faith, it is a lie. They can use us. You are witnesses that anytime they have problem, they call us, just like the Egyptians were depending on the Israelites to solve their problems for them.
  • They know we are honest, they know our industry; they know everything, but concerning this Faith, NO! Rather, if you give them this message, they will keep on echoing the highest “Amen”. And keep on requesting for materials, yet they cannot be part of the Faith.
  • Was it not the Egyptian wife that God commanded Moses to marry? That Egyptian wife put Moses into trouble. Being an Egyptian, she did not know Jehovah. When the husband married her, he did not tell her about Jehovah. She loved Moses, seeing Moses was a shepherd. She did not know that Moses was a man of God and she saw Moses as an enlightened young man.
  • Jethro’s family gave him their daughter and he married the woman. Moses never knew that God had a plan for him. When the plan was revealed, Moses met God in the wilderness and Moses became a saviour which was not in the plan for marrying the woman. Before then, Moses had already been blessed with two sons.
  • When Moses received the instruction from God that all the male children in Israel should be circumcised, this woman took the two children and ran away back to her father’s house because she had never experienced such in her life time (circumcision of male children). She had never heard of such a thing.
  • She shouted and said, “Is this what I will see in the hands of this Israelite? If it is concoction (charm), it will not work”. And she ran back to her father’s house with the two children.
  • Moses thought over the matter, what he would do. Moses did not want to disobey God. He decided to call his wife and explain to her, telling her what the Lord said.
  • The woman then told him that she was not interested and that it was solely a matter between him(Moses) and his Jehovah; that her two children were not involved in that agreement. She maintained her stand; not until the Lord came down to kill Moses.
  • When the Lord came down to threaten Moses with death, Moses hurriedly gripped the two sons and circumcised the children in the presence of the woman. And the woman threw herself on the ground, shouting at Moses to leak the blood of the circumcision, saying “Tufiakwa, what a bloody God!”
  •  That was why from that day, she went back to her parents’ house with her two children leaving Moses and the people of God in the wilderness. One day, one of Moses’ in-laws came to the wilderness searching for Moses. He saw the workload Moses had and showed some sympathy, gave counsel as to how to alleviate the burden of Moses. What is more, the Lord confirmed this counsel.
  • After giving the counsel, was the wife there to encourage her husband? There was no record that Moses’ wife came to the wilderness with the children for one day, to know the fate of their father. The second time Hobab came and Moses was talking of bringing back his wife and children. He explained everything to Hobab.
  • Hobab then told him that he(Hobab) was going back home saying, “I am going, I am gone”. And he went back to Egypt. Moses was married but alone.
  • Do not expect that the wife you married, fulfilled all the marriage rites, you never discussed Jesus Christ with her, neither did you discuss Jehovah with her, let alone eternal life.
  • Your in-laws do not know the meaning of eternal life. You went and brought a wife that will raise children for you and cook for you. As long as she is fulfilling that purpose, that’s all you need. Finish. Have your rest.
  •  Did you tell her you are a man of God? Do you know who a man of God is? Do you know what ministry is? This is my consolation. If you people do not understand what I am saying, you will destroy yourselves.
  • Thus, when you see your wife resisting this Faith, know that it didn’t start today. The resistance started from the very beginning. It is just that she does not know how to express the thing.
  • Now, she has seen that the children are all grown up boys and girls. They are now all around her. She now feels she has gained her ground, well fortified that nobody can take her back to her parents.
  • Any attempt to do that, her children would resist it and people would question such an action. “If you say I should go back to my parents, get ready, you are the one to take me back to them”.
  • What is obtained in your family is what is obtained in mine and it is also what is obtained in another man’s family. It is the same everywhere.
  • That is why whenever the message is coming forth from the pulpit, you see men, each of them standing and looking at his wife in amazement and astonishment, wondering whether the wife is hearing and understanding the message being preached. There is no man whose own is special.
  • Why your wife’s own became very much pronounced is because she continued battling and resisting, until you made it open in the fellowship and it became very much pronounced but she has been concealing it in the heart. Anyone whose case is thrown open is better than those that concealed theirs.
  • It is better you throw me out so that it will be clear to me that everybody knows I am an unbeliever, instead of telling me that I believe and later I will be disappointed.
  • When God will judge me concerning my wife, He will not judge me for eternal life, instead He will judge me concerning my agreement with my wife on the basis which I married her. Concerning worshipping God, it is whosoever willeth. Finish.
  • We are struggling to cause our wives to follow us because of the love we have for them. One who will be judged and condemned for rebellion and disobedience is one born in this Faith, married in this Faith and then we begin to hear any noise, showing unbelief or rebellion. He is guilty whether he believes or not.
  • He is guilty because he does not have any other thing called faith, he does not know any other. For those of us that came in from different denominations, our wives have tested some other things that might clash with their believing this Faith. They know what is better.
  •  If my wife has never told me that if she had known then, that her marriage will be like this; that nothing would have made her consent to it in this world; if she has never told me that, she has said that up to two hundred times to my hearing, to say the least.
  • You think it is easy for a woman. William Branham said that it is very very hard to save a woman. Do you know what this man went through with his wives?
  • The first wife Hope, was it well with them? The day William Branham married Hope, did he tell her it was eternal life? Did she meet God? Was there a time she was baptized and a voice spoke from heaven as it happened to William Branham?
  • Is it not because of the same matter that Billy Paul and Billy Joseph were killing themselves? Both Rebecca and Sarah. It is because of this same matter. And William Branham said that he married her at the prime of his youth. He said there was something he saw in that marriage.
  • He then wanted to blow it open. In the process, the woman could no longer bear it and she developed heart attack. The heart attack killed her.
  • Let me tell you the truth, there is no woman that is married in this faith that doesn’t have heart attack. If you like use my phone and call my wife now and tell her, “Look at what Daddy said”.
  • Any woman that is sincere in this Faith will tell you that she is having heart attack. Running away is always their desire, but where to run to, they do not know. Why is it so? This is not what they heard when they came! Do not blame them. It is not easy, it is not easy.
  • There was never any one of us who, before proposing marriage to his wife, explained this Faith to her till it was clear to her and she believed this message and the marriage was contracted. It never happened.
  • All these ones that came in were impregnated before they came. When they were being impregnated, they were not given this Faith. They were not told anything about this Faith. They were just friends. In the process of being friends, they were impregnated.
  • To avoid shame and ridicule that might follow if they abandon the girls and to save their faces from the brethren, those brothers decided to bring these pregnant girls to the fellowship and marry them anyhow. We do not talk about those women, their violence is the highest. Convert and marry!
  • Our own is not “convert and marry”. Our own is “married before conversion”. We are learning how to use the left hand in old age and the people to learn it are the women and not men. This is because no woman has ever had the call of God in her life.
  • There is no woman that can say she heard an audible voice that told her to marry this man that he will help him because the man is serving the interest of God. There is nothing like that.
  •  It is the duty of a man to pray. When a man discovers from childhood that God has a hand in his life, he then prays, asking God to keep him, give him one that will help him run the race to a successful end. He will plead with God.
  • There is no woman that knows differently. She is only concerned with marriage, bearing children, eating and drinking; visit and take care of her married daughters whenever they deliver and then be happy. Finish.
  • There is nothing else a woman has come for. What was the man’s intention when he gave you his daughter in marriage? Does he know God? The man does not know God, he knows nothing about eternal life.
  • The intention of every man that is not in this Faith, that does not know anything about his Faith, he knows nothing. Any day the daughter gets married, the first thing that will come into his mind will be, “God, thank you for sending Me somebody that will help me bear the challenges of this family”. He has seen somebody that will bear the burden! Sister, is it a lie? NO!
  • When the man heard this agreement, the man never knew his in-Laws knew nothing about eternal life and knew nothing about what God said about eternal life. He started doing those things as agreed when the marriage was contracted.
  • Along the way, he begins to say God met him and told him this and that; that God has now called him; that God is now regulating his life, regulating his activities; that all he has been doing before were wrong; he was doing all those things in error. He then decides that he will now follow the right way, and you tell me that his in-laws will accept him?
  • You also tell me that the wife will accept him? Please stop telling these kind of story. From the beginning, do you think that God did not tell us that it was not easy to pattern after this message, in 1993! He also told us that we should not start jumping up and down because supernatural things are happening in this Faith.
  • It is not easy to believe God; it is not easy to believe God. It is not easy to walk with God. Check all those that walked with God, check whether there was anyone that found it easy. Just check whether there was anyone who found it easy. Watch all these women, Phoebe and Syntyche quarrelling.
  • Paul wrote a letter to the Church, urging them to please help and tell these women to stop quarrelling. What and what bring about quarrelling? Unbelief to the message!
  •  That St. Paul said that they helped in the work of the ministry, following them about, cooking food for them and washing their clothes. Was that the preaching of the gospel? Yet there was quarrelling. They quarreled into the Church, even to the extent that it was written in the Bible and circulated to all the Churches.
  • There was a testimony. What was the testimony? About Dorcas! The testimony was that she was mending torn clothes of brethren without charge, that she was helping the brethren. Anybody that had torn clothes or dresses would take it to her. She would patch it without collecting any money. That was all.
  • What do you people know about eternal life? ETERNAL LIFE IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY. BUT WHEN HE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT A PEACEFUL HOME, THERE IS NO WAY THE HOME WILL BE PEACEFUL WHEN THE WORD OF GOD HAS NOT BEEN INTRODUCED. THERE IS NO WAY, BECAUSE WHATEVER WE WERE ENJOYING BEFORE WE KNEW GOD, BEFORE WE KNEW THE TRUTH, WAS FALSE PEACE.
  • One was paying the price for that peace to reign. It was false peace. Then the peace that cometh from the father, “My peace I give unto you, my peace I leave with you”.
  • Not the type that the world giveth. The peace that cometh from above is what God gives and He said that it will put the family asunder, that it will put the man at variance with his wife, with in-laws, with the relations.
  • Yet, it is peace from the Father that cometh from above. He did not come to unify everybody. NO. The only people that He will unify are those who believe in Him, but anybody who doesn’t believe in Him will have problem. I have traced this thing. Amen.

GOD HATES A WOMAN WITH DOMINEERING SPIRIT

A man is the head of the woman. It is not that women do not know that it is the truth, rather it is the truth that is contrary to their nature, because by nature every woman wants to dictate. Every woman wants to be worshipped by her husband. Look at how they turn things upside down.

  • If you want to correct them, there must be trouble. Let me use for example: Sister served me food last night and I ate and thanked her. Do you understand what I am saying? It is absolutely wrong.
  • I am the visitor. I came from Onitsha. I do not have the right to say “thank you” for giving me food or giving Me accommodation. But you are the one that should thank me for giving you the opportunity to serve Me food. After all, I have the right to tell you that I ate and I am not hungry.
  • I also have the right to tell you that I came to salute you and I go and sleep where I want. Thus, I do not owe you anything “thank you”. It is turning hospitality upside down.
  • Now, it is a visitor that comes once in a while that you and your husband should say “thank you” to. Finish. It is your responsibility to thank your husband even for accepting to eat your food. It is your responsibility to thank him even for providing food for the family.
  •  It is your responsibility. But some women have judged men and have come to Me saying, “Daddy, do you know that since I came to this house, he has never finished eating for one day and said, “thank you” to me? Who is she judging? Her husband! She is trying to cause the sparks to fly.
  • Well, you know that when a man is lying on the bed quietly, thinking on how to subdue his challenges, he is taken to be a lazy man with some sarcastic remarks: “He is doing nothing.
  • Every morning you climb the bed and recline without doing anything, answering calls. Then you come out and begin to hurry everybody up. Since morning, what have you been doing?”
  • Let me tell you the truth. THERE IS NO WORK GREATER THAN PLANNING THE FAMILY BECAUSE IF YOU DO NOT SETTLE DOWN VERY WELL, YOU CAN NEVER WORK OUT A GOOD PLAN FOR YOUR FAMILY.
  • IT THEN MEANS YOUR CHILDREN WILL SUFFER, AND THEN THEY WILL BE FRUSTRATED. THAT THIS FAMILY IS GOOD, IT IS THE MAN THAT MADE IT. THERE IS NO WOMAN THAT HAS EVER MADE A GOOD SUGGESTION CONCERNING FAMILY PLAN.
  • The only thing they can present is bills, it is only bills that women are experts in presenting. She will tell you that this person does not have clothes, this person does not have shoes; that this one has to do her hair: herself that she has her personal needs. She will remember her mother’s own; her father’s own, even telling you that there is burial ceremony that will be holding on so, so, so date. Bills, bills, bills.
  • What is more, they are presenting these bills to a human being. When he goes to the bed to sit down to summarize all that she presented in order to know where to start, it will be that the man is lazy, he does not do any other thing, only to wake up in the morning.
  • Whenever the man falls sick, he bears it alone, blaming nobody. If the woman falls sick, when she has headache her husband is responsible. Abdominal pain or discomfort, her husband is responsible for the sickness.
  •  And she will accuse the man that he has never bought drugs for her any time she fell sick and he has never asked to know how she has been feeling. But a man will be here, groaning under the burden of sickness through the night and in the morning, the woman will walk away, not regarding the condition of her husband.
  • The only day and time she understands that calamity has befallen her, is the day she comes back and sees her husband’s corpse on the bed.
  • My wife went to work. At the end of the day, she came back and told me that she wanted to tell me something that I should come inside. I asked her to tell me whatever it was immediately.
  • She said “no” that I will be very upset and I replied, saying, “What will make me upset at my age. What will upset me now that I am asking that death should come and death ran away?”
  • She went inside and everybody laughed. When she later came out, she told me that Alex had died. I asked her whether he died in the office or Awka? She said “no”, that Alex went to work on Friday. Then on Saturday, he said that he would go to the village and the wife said “no”. He insisted that he would go to Abatete.
  • The wife said “no”, that he should follow Obeleagu’s wife to go and rectify the mistake they were making, deducting ten thousand naira 10,000 every month from his salary since the introduction of that Integrated Payroll and Personal Information System. Series of letters have been written to that effect, yet nothing positive has come out of it.
  •  The wife insisted that Alex would follow Obeleagu’s wife to go and rectify the anomaly. He said “no”, that he would go at his convenient time and Abatete is here. He had a bungalow of four rooms and parlor still under construction; only that the structure was already roofed. Nothing was in the building, no furniture, nothing, nothing.
  • He said he would use his retirement benefit to complete the building when he retires. The wife sells crayfish and she rubbished all her children because she had five male children and one of them is a graduate.
  • Alex got home, and while looking round, admiring the little house, a bird flew from nowhere into his house. Alex held the bird, broke its legs and neck, and threw it away through the window. After throwing it away, before he could reach Abatete market by Ogidi road, his hands started swelling, his heart started failing, his legs swelling. He raised alarm and people rushed and brought him to his residence.
  • He told his wife that it seemed like death had come and that if he died he should not be deposited in the mortuary, because there was no money to bring out his corpse. He told his wife what happened, and the wife screamed. Immediately, they took him into a car and started coming down to New Hope Hospital, Modebe Road and he died inside the car. The following day, he was buried.
  • While I was with my wife, she said that he would be buried immediately, and she asked me if she would go with them. I told her to sit down, and she sat down. Do not rush to attend such a burial otherwise, you may be used for the burial.
  • Is there any type of bird that we do not kill in this Faith? There was one that flew over our house and died there. The wife of Igwe Amobi used her hands to hold two alive. From nowhere, two big owls came into the house. They brought them to me and the two were killed. Another one came in through the corridor and died there.
  • Yet no one knows where they are coming from. Since this second one died, none has ever come in again. After telling us the benefits of obedience, we believe. The following day, disobedience again. In man lieth wickedness.
  • THE GREATEST MANIFESTATION OF WICKEDNESS IS DISOBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH. SINCE YOU ARE DISOBEDIENT TO THE TRUTH, YOU ARE NOT ONLY FOOLISH, YOU ARE WICKED.
  • For without the word of God, what will soften the heart of a man? What will help man not to go to the extreme in whatever he is doing?
  • It is the word of God. St Paul said that he had power to do all things but all things are not convenient. The problem we are having is, even when we were in the denominations where we married, wedded and did everything; they believed nothing of all that were being taught. They understood nothing.
  • The only thing a woman understands very well and easily is marriage. You see marriage, any woman that tells you she is thinking of any other thing more than marriage, tell her that she is telling lies. (Do you not see your daughters nodding in agreement?)
  • Any woman that tells you she is bothered by anything else than marriage, tell her it is not true. She will not even marry according to God’s will.
  •  All that she wants is marriage and she will not even include eternal life in her marriage program. That is why they marry anyhow, to show you that they understand nothing, they believe nothing. She does not know that a man a woman marries has a lot to tell in the person’s life, even in eternal realm. Yes!
  • The best husband is the husband that will lead you into Christ, if you are a seed of God. Remember that if you are not a seed of God, the more he leads you, the worse it becomes. But have we seen one that is a seed of God? This is where the problem lies. Have I ever seen one? Forget what is being said.
  • That Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ never made her a seed of God! She just received an ordinary favour. But talk of the Faith of Jesus Christ, Mary never acknowledged the Faith. What Mary was showing every woman was that she was a blessed woman, that she gave birth to Jesus Christ.
  • But a time came, Mary manifested her true character. Check your Bible, from Genesis to Revelation; you can never see any Bible reference or verse where Jesus referred to Mary as “My mother”. Check it. It is nowhere to be found. It was her attitude that made him call her “this woman”, “woman” yes. And that is what she was.
  • Of all her children, was there any one she allowed to follow Christ? No! She biased their minds against their elder brother. We have enough evidence to prove that Mary had no place. That is why the Roman Catholics decided to give her that honor which the son could not give her.
  • But Roman Catholics, did you honor the Son before, or own the Son? Today the matter is not on Mary again. It is now Holy Ghost fire. Holy Spirit. At the end of the day, Mary is the mother. She delivered Holy Ghost, delivered everything.
  • We don’t talk of Joseph. Joseph was a stark pagan! He had a dream that he was favored; that a Saviour came from his house for his salvation.
  • Your husband maybe an Apostle, yet you have no part in it. There is no woman that will be saved because of the faith of her husband. Not even one. If that could be done, it would have started with Moses. It would have started with Moses.
  • When God spoke, He gave a woman the condition whereby she should be saved. He said it is through child bearing if she continues in the Faith with sobriety.
  •  Do you understand it? It is not by delivering and filling everywhere with children, cooking food and then discontinuing from the Faith! No sobriety, no submission, no respect, no honor to your husband!
  • THERE IS A CONDITION FOR SALVATION OF ALL MARRIED WOMEN. SO ANYONE THAT ABANDONS OR REFUSES HER OWN SHOULD NOT KILL ONE THAT HAS DISCOVERED HERS AND IS HOLDING IT.
  • WHEN ST. PAUL SAID THAT YOU SHOULD STRIVE THAT NOBODY TAKES AWAY YOUR CROWN, DO YOU THINK HE NEVER KNEW WHAT HE WAS SAYING? EVEN CHRIST TOLD YOU THAT WHOEVER ENDURETH TILL THE END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED. IT IS NOT WHOSOEVER THAT STOPS MIDWAY.
  •  Why does marriage messages stumble women? Marriage messages that will beautify your family, give you peace, you have good rapport with your husband, your children, but each time it is lifted up; “eeeh eeeeeeh!!!” that goes to show that that enemy is still waging war as before because it is “marriage”. He turned things upside down for centuries.
  • Thus, God now came down to correct that imbalance, it became difficult for women. Go to the Anglican, go to the Methodist, and go to the Assemblies of God. Women are in control. Check all. Pentecostal Churches, men have no say and all the ministers in those Churches dance to the tune of those women. They will say how it will be. We will know how their situation or condition will be in the end.
  • It is still that same spirit: Jezebel spirit. If you listen to the message of William Branham titled, “Jezebel Religion”, it is just that our women will not agree to read it. If they get to that one where they are called “Jezebel”, they will close it and throw that one away.
  • Jezebel is a spirit, according to the Prophet. The spirit, a feminine spirit, that exalts itself higher than masculine spirit. God said He hates a woman with masculine, domineering spirit. God hates it and in it, He said He has come to deliver us from the hands of women. 1997!
  • Do you think God did not see their stubbornness? Does He speak in vain? What makes Him the Alpha and Omega? He knows the end from the very beginning. Every step we take, God knows where we are landing. He knows the thoughts of our hearts. See how bad man is, that the Lord Himself pointed out what is in the heart of a man, that the heart of a man is continually fomenting evil.
  • Before you see one who is sober, meditating, according to the scriptures, on those things that are pure, those things that are noble, those things that are good, those things that are of honest reports, those things that are true. If there be any virtue in it, He said, “Meditate on this level, and think on this level.” Before you see who this scripture comes into her heart, it is very hard.
  • They do not even do it at all. Once they get to the bed and lie down, the only thing they will think about is how they will drag it out with their husbands, all the bad things their husbands did to them since they got married. She will start outlining them from the beginning: what he did to her mother, what he did to her father, when she gave birth to the first issue, when she gave birth to the second issue, and she will think, and think, and think that she will now place her hand on her jaw.
  • At intervals, her legs will be shaking, her legs will be shaking. She is ready. She is already charged. What she is now waiting for is any day her husband will  read the scripture or a message and mentions her name, you will now have it hot from her.
  • Hear me very well, any woman that will cause her husband to make shipwreck, God said it is better that woman was never born, that the person must reap the whirl wind. Do you think God is not wise? That women have caused the demise of so many men of God. Go to the message titled, “stand still and I will show you the word of God”, so that you will see the role played by women.
  • Do not go there reading about others. Put yourself there because there is a role you are playing, that if not that God is upholding your husband, he would have come to the end of his ministry. (He would have made shipwreck).
  • If it is like this to you people that listen to the message from Me and go back and officiate in your local assemblies as ministers, what do you say about Me who have been in the center from the very beginning? From the very beginning! Is it not sparingly you host brethren in your family, just as I have come now.
  • I can remember the last time I entered this family. It is getting up to four, five years. But today that is Saturday, the number of brethren that I house from other local assemblies will be up to eight, whether I am there or I am not there. The other day I told you even on ordinary days, people will be taking risk coming in their cars.
  • Ordinary days! Some will call Me on the phone to first of all ask if I am in the shop. I will tell them to please come that I am around. It is not easy!
  • Let me tell you the truth. Paul told Timothy the same thing saying that he (Timothy) should remember that in the last day, it will be very, very difficult for anybody to manifest Christ in their day.
  • The spirit of the last day is at work in the children of disobedience. It is not at work in those who obey. There is a spirit that is at work in the last day. Where it is at work is in the children of disobedience. Whenever you disobey the word of God, that spirit will grip you.
  • It will now gather everything, all its accomplices and fill your heart. Your heart will be on fire! That is, a living human being burning with fire. You are alive burning. And when it comes, it will make you not to see any good thing again.
  • What will tell you that it is intentional is that once you come home the whole thing will start coming. It is not coming home to give the testimonies of what the Lord has done but coming home to quarrel, everywhere will wear a mournful look as if somebody died. Let everybody stay on his own. Is this how we shall all enter paradise? Is this the type of spirit we received from God?
  • There is one scripture that gives me joy and I think that is what is killing people. You do not need to think about it. Go to, do you have living Bible? Is there any other translation? Find another translation.
  • Because I remember we started with this Bible and we read it line by line; precept upon precept; a little here, a little there; till those who were wise said that the Son of Man is a Bible encyclopedia. I raked up scriptures you have never seen before and the whole world was shouting, asking if these things were in this Bible.
  • Is there anything that cannot be found in the Bible? Check Ephesians chapter 3. You know there are many who can never pick up scriptures, read it and compare it with what you have been hearing. Amen.

ALLOW CHRIST TO MAKE HIS PERMANENT HOME IN YOUR HEART

Look at Ephesians chapter 3 verse 14 through 19, “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

  • That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
  • May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. KJV.
  • Another translation. For this reason (seeing the greatness of the plan by which you are built together in Christ) greatness of the plan…”
  • Look at the person we are talking about here. I do what?
  • “…I bow my knees. You cannot see the father, because Jesus said the father is in me and I am in the father…”
  • But the Son of Man is the only person that came and revealed the Father, because it is only in the Son of Man that the Father is revealed because the Fatherrevealed who the Son of Man is.
  • Then the Son of Man showed the elects who the Father is and introduced His Name in the midst of the worshipping congregation. That
  • I am telling you that I am the fulfillment of all that the Prophets, the apostles, the Law spoke of. You heard all as stories, but the Son of Man came to reveal Him to you. You heard about the HEADSTONE, whether He is fair or dark, you do not know.
  • Anyone you read about in the scriptures, after reading, you do not know what He looks like. You think it is imaginary and God will make that one real to you. You heard about the cloud, the rainbow. You do not know what it looks like. You read about it in the scriptures, in the book of Exodus, yet you do not know what it looks like. Didn’t God tell you, “look at it”, revealing the whole thing to you.
  • You have read about the brightness of his presence, read the Son dwelling in His Father; you do not know what it means, what it looks like, you begin to wonder. Where do I start? Where do I stop?
  • Do you ever from time to time pick up your supernatural album and look at the supernatural photographs? Look at them, check and see if you were present when these things happened, if there is magic in any of them, if there is anyone that is being suspected, that “it could be this or that”. Man has a problem, man has a problem.
  • IF AFTER SEEING ALL THESE THINGS, EVEN THE FULLNESS OF THE ELOHIM, AND WE STILL HAVE SOME SIGNS OF DISOBEDIENCE IN OUR HEARTS, LET IT BE KNOWN TO YOU THAT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, YOU NEVER BELONGED TO GOD. YOU WERE NOT ORDAINED TO SALVATION. I AM THE ONE SAYING IT!
  •  This is what I said and caused trouble in My family. I will say it and cause trouble wherever I go. Because any where the truth goes forth, there is bound to be trouble among those that do not love the truth. Truth from God is hurtful—very hurtful.
  • Was it not Christ that spoke in John chapter 6 verse 63 and the people that heard Him exclaimed that it was an unbelievable message nobody could believe. They asked who could believe that nonsense.
  • But before then, they believed everything, shouting, calling Him “Messiah”. He then gave them the truth about the mystery of the kingdom. They told him, “to hell with you”. They departed, thousands, leaving only but twelve (12). The thousands that were around him varnished.
  • And you are expecting that the Son of Man, towards the end, will save the whole world. Do you not know what He told you? The way it started, the same way it will end. What it produced in the beginning is what it is producing in the end. Was it not what you were told in the beginning? Some will be rejoicing while others will be weeping.
  •  When you see the signs of the end of the ministry, will you not know? We that were here at the beginning know what we were told; know what we believe, so that when we get to where we are now; the same group, not another, that same group that are there now, they will produce the same fruit.
  • Those you think that they are rooted and grounded, not knowing that they are floating, the real nature will manifest again. When God told you to pray that the tail end of your life will be better than the beginning, do you think that he did not know what He saw.
  • He equally warned you that if you are not careful, what you passed through at the beginning will equally wait for you at the end. He has told you to be careful and remember that at the beginning, you were excommunicated with Bishop Moses.
  • “…for this reason seeing the greatness of the plan by which you are built together in Christ…”
  • Seeing the greatness of this plan, not ordinary plan, but a GREAT PLAN.
  •  “I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that father from whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name.
  • May he grant you out of the rich treasury of his glory, to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the Holy Spirit himself, indwelling your innermost being and personality. May Christ through your faith, actually dwell, settle down, abide, make his permanent home in your hearts.”
  • May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love. That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints (God’s devoted people, the experience of that love) what is the breadth and length and height and depth of it.
  • That you may really come to know, partially (through experience for yourselves); that you may be filled (through all your being) unto all the fullness of God (may have the richest measure of the divine presence and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God himself)…AMP.
  • Have you heard it? Wholly filled and flooded with God himself. That is what will dominate your thought, your songs, everything.
  • We are no more talking of making melody in your heart. That one is gone. No more making of melody, what they are now making is incantation. “My enemy said I will die, I will not die, I will be alive”.
  • Living Bible, from 14-20. “When I think of the wisdom and scope of his plan, I fall down on my knees and pray to the father of all the great family of God-some of them already in heaven and some down here on earth- that out of his glorious unlimited resources (power) that he will give you the mighty inner strengthening of his Holy Spirit.
  •  And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep Into the soil of God’s children should, know how long, how wide, how deep and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it.
  • And so at last you will be filled up with God Himself. Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is  able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of – indefinitely, beyond your highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.
  • Have you seen it? Brother Ojiakor, pray for the family. Thank you. On this note, I say Remain Blessed in Him eternally.
