Preached on 9th March, 1993 At THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN “THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE” “Truth has no substitute” © BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLD-WIDE WEB CONTACTS:
Nobody can avoid the Son of Man. If you avoid my face while you are alive, you will see my face in death. Believe it if you can…
-The Son of Man
EXAMINE YOUR FAMILY LIFE. PP. 3.
Be very careful about last minute unbelief. That is, be very careful about last minute
manifestation of unbelief. Today, when you hear His Word, harden not your heart as in the days of provocation in the wilderness where your fathers harden their hearts against the truth and tempted God.
God in sundry times spoke to us through prophet but today, He speaks to us face to face, mouth to mouth. You can be in the Church and miss the Translation. That is what God is saying. You can be in the Church and miss putting on of the immortal body because of your wicked heart, unbelieving heart, impenetrable heart.

FROM JERUSALEM TO JERICHO
Luke Chapter 10 verse 25-30, “And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
2. And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.
3. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
4. And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.” KJV.
5. “And then a certain lawyer arose to try (test, tempt) Him, saying, Teacher, what am I to do to inherit everlasting life [that is, to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?
6. Jesus said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it? And he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.
7. And Jesus said to him, You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live [enjoy active, blessed, end-less life in the kingdom of God].
8. And he, determined to acquit himself of reproach, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? Jesus, taking him up, replied, A certain man was going from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothes and belongings and beat him and went their way, [ unconcernedly] leaving him half dead, as it happened.” AMP
9. The Lord gave us a message, the second message in the series; you know He gave us three messages. I announced it before the Church; number one was MIXED-MULTITUDE, we have seen what the Lord did. Did He confirm that He gave the message? “YES SIR”. I am a living witness.
10. He gave us a second message; “FROM JERUSALEM TO JERICHO,” then the third message he said it is FAITH, and he said after this faith, go back to where you dropped your teaching on Holy Ghost and watch my power sweep over the Church.”
11. When I was looking at the chains of the message, God did not want the mixed-multitude to partake of them, and He can never operate in the midst unbelievers and now He is warning us against moving from Jerusalem, the city of the Living God, from Jerusalem the land of bread, leaving from Jerusalem to Jericho.
12. And after this, He will speak faith unto us; you that have no faith, then you will hear, if you have faith like a mustard seed, I will increase it. You will now say the same thing that the apostles said, “Lord increase our faith”. Then you will have faith to believe him the more. I believe it is God.
13. If I have my own teachings, if I have my own preaching, which I planned to teach, I have promised teaching this Church of; “Predestination, Adoption, Calling, Election, Eternal security”. I promised teaching this Church a teaching I started; “Principles of Christian Living.”
14. I taught Part One, the remaining two parts are still in my stomach and they are all for you. Keep on trusting God. A certain man, a lawyer, Ph.D holder, reading the Law everyday but could not understand. He met the message, the Greatest Teacher, the Rabbi, “What, must I do to inherit the kingdom of God?”
15. Christ said, “Are you not a lawyer in Israel? Have you not been teaching people the laws of Moses? Are you not a Pharisee? What is there in your Bible?” Then the man started reciting that which is contained in the law. The Lord said fine.
16. The man wanted to justify himself because he didn’t know his neighbour. You that don’t know your neighbor, you don’t know your brother in the Faith, let me tell you, there is something in the brethren in like-precious faith.
17. The Bible said, “Love one another, do good to everyone especially to the brethren in the same household of faith.” I promised teaching this Church something on “Brotherhood” and if you know the meaning of “Sisterhood,” fornication will never be mentioned once among you as becometh saints.
18. I called you here, it is just ordinary Amazing Grace. I call it mystery like Paul, that a brother will rise up and marry a sister in the same fellowship center, it is not easy. It is mystery.
19. That is why we counseled them and give them time. If I do not counsel them, after their wedding, they remain like that if there is no zeal. Brother will not touch Sister, Sister will not touch Brother but they cannot have children. That is why we counsel them lest they go to the extreme.
20. A certain man asked a question saying, “Who is my neighbour, if I have done all these things, who must be my neighbour?” Jesus the Christ then answered the man saying, “Behold a certain man, I don’t know his name but a certain man was moving from Jerusalem to Jericho, on his way, armed robbers attacked him, removed all his personal belongings, flogged him well, well, slapped him left and right and left him half dead.”
21. Who must this man be? Jerusalem the city of God, the city where God is guiding day and night, a city where there is protection, a city where enemies can never come in as long as God is there.
22. When you leave Jerusalem, where are going to? You are going to Jericho. Do you know where Jericho is? That is the “Land of Sin.” A land that is cursed, you will see it in your Bible. What are you going there to do, my brother? Leaving a fortified city, leaving the Holy City, leaving the whole places, leaving the brethren, leaving the Presence of God, leaving the temple of God, you are going to the city that God said, “Any man that will rebuild it shall pay the price with his own home.” Cursed city.
23. Look at this man, Israelite in the spirit, be spiritual. You can see why Solomon is giving those praises that brought down the glory of His Majesty. What did he say; “Here is Jerusalem, I have finished the temple according to the pattern you gave to me.”
24. Look at this man called Solomon, watch what he was doing with God, when he invited God to the camp, he dedicated Jerusalem. He said, “God, hear me, I have finished this work according to the pattern handed down to me as my fathers did it who received it, and as my forefathers did it.”
25. “If my people will be drawn into captivity because of sin in that strange land, they realize their foolishness; they realize their sins, their mistakes each time come kneeling down facing Jerusalem and pray unto God, Lord hearken unto God, forgive their sins.” Is that not right?
26. To show you how glorious Jerusalem is, see how glorious it is that even now, the Holy Ghost showed us a mystery here. People all over the world are going to pilgrimage in Jerusalem. They know very well that IT IS NOT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD, IT IS FOR A PARTICULAR PEOPLE (THE BRIDE) TO DWELL THERE FOREVER. Now they are carried away.
27. The Lord told us that Pope, the head of Roman Catholic Church had made all efforts to change that city and bring it to Rome. Many, many years ago, he made a law that all Catholics must come down to Rome once in a while on pilgrimage.
28. When that couldn’t work, he sent them out, he spied Jerusalem and they brought the report back to him and he is financing the trip. He is finding out their tricks, finding their secrets, and now, he has made up his mind that any day he will be there, no more.
29. And we know what the prophets said about it, see it fulfilling now. We were here yesterday, he gave 10 million dollars to refurnish Jerusalem; he wants to go there and preach.
30. Man of sin to be revealed: Vicarious Filideii standing in front of, place of, son of God, fulfilling second Thessalonians 2 : 2 – 3: “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
31. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.” KJV.
32. Now he has written a letter, he has acknowledged that he is going to Jerusalem, he was invited, and it was written in the newspaper, “Daily Times of 26 October 1992”. Go to your archives you will see it there.
33. The Pope invited to preach in Jerusalem and he said he was going there for a diplomatic mission to establish diplomatic relationship with the people of Israel. A covenant we know that was prophesied by Daniel and taught by William Branham.
34. He came to make seven years covenant with them, but it will not last for seven years. In the midst of it three and half years, Israel will take it when they find out his deceit.
35. Because when he would be going there, after his preaching, he said he would be preaching “peace, peace, peace”: Peace in the Middle East, peace in Nigeria, peace worldwide. January one this year, he celebrated “World Year of Peace” and he received “Nobel Peace prize” and the whole world crowned him “Man of Peace”.
36. The Bible said when he would be there preaching peace, peace, peace; the world would be accepting it, peace, peace, peace, and then certain destruction will strike the earth, yet the world will not know and they will be rejoicing, “Our Pope is good! He is good, He is good!”
37. WHY IS HE INTERESTED? WE ARE EXPECTING NOT THIS SAME JERUSALEM, OUR OWN CITY IS THE NEW JERUSALEM THAT WILL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN WHEN ALL THE WICKED MEN ON EARTH AND ALL THESE BUILDINGS AND MOTOR CARS FILLED WITH MONEY STEALING GOVERNMENT EVERYWHERE; WHEN EVERYTHING IS WIPED OFF, A NEW EARTH WILL THEN COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, A NEW HEAVEN WILL COME, A NEW EARTH WILL COME, PREPARED BY CHRIST HIMSELF WHEREIN DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS. WE WILL DWELL THERE, ALL THE SAINTS OF GOD FOREVER AND FOREVER.
38. These people know that they will not be there, that is why they want to see the glory. A parcel you know very well that you are going to open eventually, why do you go to peep into it? We do not go to Jerusalem. Here is our Jerusalem. Jehovah Sharma, God is here. God is here.
39. Let me tell you, no mountain is holy, no house is holy, no place is holy, and there is only a holy God. When a Holy God goes to a mountain the mountain becomes holy. When a holy God goes to this temple, it becomes holy. Selah.
40. You see, when a holy God comes into your life, you become a holy man, and anything you touch becomes holy. I believe in holy water. You will carry your cup of water, that cup of water is holy for a holy God is living in me by blessing me with holiness.
41. If you are blessed, anything you touch is blessed. If you are cursed, anything you touch is cursed. Even your children are cursed. He is here; I wish somebody can see him.
42. I am looking at something. I am looking at something, O glory! He makes me fine because I am worshiping a living God, the God that has come down and given a move of his hand. O glory, O glory! Amen.

GOD HAS GIVEN US VICTORY
Let me tell you, God is with us, who will believe our report? Whether you will believe or not, two plus two is four.
2. Look at this man, leaving Jerusalem and going to Jericho, to do what in Jericho? Who called you? What do you want to go there to do? To compromise a little. What are you going to Jericho to do my man? And on the way, he saw fire, armed robbers came out from nowhere and hit him, beat him very well, tore his dress, all that he had, all his possessions, they removed them, all his clothes were removed and he became naked, half dead.
3. I want to get a revelation everyday “I do not want to die again oh, Pastor, pray for me, I don’t want such again.” I will not pray again. Look at this man, after seeing the glory of God, after seeing the whole miracles, he left a fortified city, where the presence of God is dwelling. Let us see where he is going. Somebody thinks I am not spiritual, I am spiritual
4. The book of Joshua 6 : 1 – 4, “Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
5. And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
6. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.”KJV.
7. I want to speak a little here. Some of you that watched the little drama here; the Lord said, “I should put it in writing.” When I was coming from New Market Road, I did not know what happened here on Sunday and I was trying to question God.
8. The Lord said, “I congratulate you for hearing my voice, which was victory procession.” When the confusion started, I was in front; I did not know that we were not complete. We made the first round, the second round. At the third round, the Lord brought another brother and made the number seven.
9. How many times did we come here? We came here seven times. How did we separate and what happened at last? To God be the glory, amen.
10. God has given us victory. If you have no faith now, have faith in this living terbanacle that God has ordained His Shepherd that will guard His Ark. The ark of God is the word of God.
11. Watch a man called evil, what killed him, he was not a priest but wanted to help, what happened, he died on the spot. The Bible said fear griped the whole people, the whole revival stopped.
12. Fellow, if you are not called of God, sit down, be a happy worshipper for if everybody in this most holy Faith will become ministers, who then would you minister to? But you are a minister with their substances. Check your Bible, the Bible said, you ministered unto Christ with your substances. To Paul, Peter ministered to him.
13. Anytime Brother Paul came back, Sister Anna will carry his clothes, wash all of them, and iron them very well. If any is torn, she would carry all of them, and mend very well, bring them back. If Brother Paul is hungry, Sister Anna would come, carry food and present. They attend to their duties. Every minister speaks.
14. The men would be in the field working all round while sisters would be in the home warring wars of spirits on their knees everyday calling down the power of God to protect their husbands in the field.
15. A woman called Hannah was in the house of God, praying and prophesying all the days of her life. What will be there? Now watch Deborah, watch Susanna check your bible. All these ladies, a lady called Deborah, Deborah was not a priest, she was a judge, and she judged Israel and God was happy.
16. When it came to going to war, God appointed Gideon. A woman can never go to war. Gideon went to war with noble men of Israel, not women. Women did not go to war. Check your Bible.
17. That was why Paul said “Remain silent. If you have anything to ask, go to your believing husband. If you don’t have believing husband, Christ is the husband of the Church and Christ is our high Priest. Your pastor is your husband, go to him and ask question.
18. Victory is here, God has given us victory and that victory is in His Spoken Word. He is hovering around this camp, He is hovering all over all of you. No matter your little position in the Church, it is very important, hold it steadfast.
19. Let me tell you one thing, you are all members of one body like your eyes. If the eyes will say I would not work, the whole body would be in darkness. If the mouth will say “I will not eat,” the whole body would die of starvation. If the neck would say, “I will not work,” all the body would be troubled. The hand will say, “I will not labor,” the body will die of starvation.
20. You see, they are all important. You can never be the head and the eyes at the same time. No! You must be one. That is why when the eye is in trouble, the whole body is in trouble. I have suffered “Apollo”, Apollo affected my eyes, and it affected my whole body.
21. Go to the hospital, let the doctor carry out a little operation on you, the whole body is disorganized. Let something happen to the finger or to the leg, I have suffered “whitlow”, the whole finger, the whole body was affected. You see the importance of the whole part of the body.
22. That’s why when a man commits sin, because your sin will affect me, your sin will affect your brother, it will affect your sister for we are members of the same body. Don’t commit sin, live a holy life, keep on believing God. Be your brother’s keeper.
23. Joshua 6. We want to see Jericho, the place the man is going, leaving the Promised Land and he is going to Jericho. We want to see Jericho.
24. The man that is going to Jericho did not know where he is going to. We will see his disobedience and today we are spiritual Israelites. Israel in the wilderness, the same way God dealt with them physically is the same way God is dealing with us spiritually.
25. You can now see when the Lord was commanding: “Behold I have given you an angel to bring you before me. Be very careful the way you follow Him for He will never pardon your transgression.”
26. It is not calling down the Holy Ghost, it is following Him that matters for He will never never forgive your transgressions”. He is God in the spirit doing all that He promised to do. Didn’t he say, “If you sin against me or you sin against my Father, he will forgive you? But when I come, I will bring a Comforter, the Holy Ghost.
27. If any of you will speak one word against him or attribute any of his deeds to the devil or to any man, he will never forgive you, in this world and in the world to come, forever and ever.
28. You see how dangerous it is for man to sin against the Holy Ghost. Why we must be careful, Church. The people that died in the wilderness, many of them are God’s children, but why death? When the lion will roar, we will not be afraid. Be of victory for Christ has overcome the world.”
29. Joshua 6 : 26, “And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. So the Lord was with Joshua and his fame was noised all over the country” KJV.
30. You see the place this man is going to. The Lord said in the Bible that the sin of Jericho has become great. When you are going to Canaan, first of all, leave the Ammelikites, leave the Jebusites, leave the Ammonites, leave the Canaanites, spy the city of Jericho, they have a very high wall of sin. All of them are there. Pull that city down, destroy everybody, and leave nobody.
31. Whoever that will rise up after we have destroyed this city of Jericho, whoever that will come will recognize Jericho as a shadow. Whoever that will come to recognize Jericho as Church, whoever that will come and step into Jericho, curse be upon him because Jericho is cursed.”
32. Number one, that man, that woman will pay the price with his first son. Number two with his last son. God will use his blood to recognize the death of Jericho, for stepping into it, for recognizing it as a Church.
33. See the place the man is going to. Leaving Jerusalem where the glory of God is covering always and he is going to Jericho cursed city.
34. What did he meet on his way? The same way the Church, if you leave your Jerusalem and you stay away and you romance a little in those places God cursed, the same way you will pay the price.
35. Your number one price on your way, armed robbers will attack you on your way left and right and with their dagger pierce you everywhere, the little blessing of God, which you have, the little word which is your covering, the little word of God, they will take it away from you. You will be naked, half dead. You will be saying I nearly died oh.
36. If after seeing the glory of God, you leave the protection of God, where are you going to? There is a proverb that says “If a lizard will leave the tree, cat will catch it, it becomes meat.” The moment you leave the presence of God, the Holy Spirit, Satan knows.
37. He will go ahead of you because he has owned you once again and he will torment you very well, torment you well, torment your children, your family, torment everything you have until you are half dead then you will recognize that you left Jerusalem.
38. Then your testimony will be “I remembered when I was with Christ! I remember when I was a child of God”. There was never a day you never thought of the passing things of the world, you wanted to test the things of the world.
39. Before then, God will not be happy. Church at Nkpor, after seeing His Presence, you leave His Presence and walk anyhow, you will die anyhow. Whatever God curses is cursed. Whatever God blesses is blessed.
40. There was a man in the Bible, this man is called Abraham. Genesis 12 : 1-9. “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee:
41. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
42. So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
43. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
44. And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
45. And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he built an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.” KJV.
46. “NOW [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.
47. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].
48. And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language to-ward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless them-selves].
49. So Abram departed, as the Lord had directed him; and Lot [his ne-phew] went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
50. Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the persons [servants] that they had acquired in Haran, and they went forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, Abram passed through the land to the locality of Shechem, to the oak or terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
51. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your posterity. So Abram built an altar there to the Lord, Who had appeared to him.
52. From there he pulled up [his tent pegs] and departed to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an al-tar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord.
53. Abram journeyed on, still going toward the South (the Negeb).” AMP.
54. We see this man called Abram, Abram, the Lord called him to separate from his people, and their traditions and customs and go to a land where he was going to show him. He remembered his Uncle Lot. Did the Lord asked him to go with Lot? Go with your wife full stop.
55. I told you here with the power of the Holy Ghost that mixed-multitude never started today. When he reached that land, read your Bible very well, the same problem he had is from his cousin Lot. Check your Bible very well. He nearly died because of Lot, mixed-multitude.
56. And the Lord said; “Before you can redeem a man that is drowning, make sure you know how to swim very well otherwise the water will drown both of you.” Watch Abraham, when you go to vs 10 through 20, let us rush it. Genesis 12:10-20.
57. “And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
58. Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
59. And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
60. The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
61. And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
62. And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife. And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
63. Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her , and go thy way.
64. And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.” KJV.
65. “There was a famine in the land, and Abram went down into Egypt to live temporarily, for the famine in the land was oppressive (intense and grievous).
66. And when he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, I know that you are beautiful to be-hold.
67. So when the Egyptians see you, they will say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. Say, I beg of you, that you are my sister, so that it may go well with me for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.
68. And when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh’s house [harem].
69. And he treated Abram well for her sake; he acquired sheep, oxen, he-donkeys, menservants, maidservants, she-donkeys, and camels.
70. But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his household with serious plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
71. And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? Why did you say, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her and get away [from here]!
72. And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him, and they brought him on his way with his wife and all that he had.” AMP.
73. The Lord has challenged us, to read the Bible more than any other book. Is that not right? That is where your salvation lies. Look at this man called Abram, the Lord gave him a city that is flowing with milk and honey. He said “go to Haran, go there”. The land I am showing you now, leave Babylon, leave Mesopotamia, leave Iraq, leave Roman Catholic, leave Pentecostals, leave every other denomination and go to where I am showing you.
74. How many believes that every other denomination is Roman Catholic. They MUST all line up in Trinity. The devil is uniting all of them in TRINITY. Whether you believe it or not, the devil is behind “ecumenical movement”: Come together we are one.
75. In Nigeria, see how they are uniting, in the whole world, Pope established a Church which is the image of the beast. That big Church is World Council of Churches. Every other denomination must be a part of it. They are not coming in as Deeper Life or Grace of God or Zion Church. No!! They are coming in as Nations. Watch how they are coming in.
76. Hear it now, the whole Roman Catholic; they are coming in under CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria). The whole Anglicans, Baptist, Presbyterians, Seventh day Adventist, Methodist, all of them they are coming in under Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN).The whole Pentecostals, they are coming in under Pentecostal Federation of Nigeria. The whole African Churches, that is traditional Churches; Sabbath, OdoziObodo, Cherubim, C.C.C., U.A.C, U.C.C, they are coming in under African Instituted Churches (AIC). And all of them came together.
77. Government built a temple for them and calls it Christ Centre at Abuja with Archbishop Okojie of Lagos as their President and the Anglican Archbishop as the vice. Every group is represented.
78. Last year, Babangida gave ten million naira to establish the tower. He said it is a resort Centre because it is highest tower in Nigeria. Anywhere you are outside Abuja, that you must see it. Taller than the NITEL Satellite, he called it a resort Centre. Imagine a situation; he called it a resort Centre. Imagine a situation, Pentecostals will come, all Churches will come, all these people under one umbrella.
79. Now watch, all of them are now into World Council of Churches which is the image of the Beast and Bible said very soon this image of the Beast will surrender its power, its authority to that Beast, the Roman Catholic Church Pope in Rome.
80. Rome must control the world again. Rome must rule the world. Today, he is controlling Economy, he is controlling Government but you don’t know. It is a mystery. Now he will make a decree, the whole Churches will give him authority, World Council of Churches. Now Hari-Krishina is there, Eckankar is there, Muslim is there.
81. Watch all of them, they came out in Nairobi Kenya 1986, Pope went there and amended many things and they had an agreement signed. We read it here, don’t you remember?
82. What was number one? “Let us remove everything in the Bible that is cursing differences among the Churches. After all, every religion is proclaiming one God.” Then he said Revelation must be removed, 1 Corinthians 6, Second Corinthians 7 must be removed and the Bible is coming out to be one “New Jerusalem Bible”. Second edition. It is in print. I learnt it will be out very soon, we will read it.
83. And this image will surrender its power to the Beast, and then they will tell him, “Make a proclamation and anybody that does not believe your proclamation will be killed. We will close that Church, we will kill all of them, we will force them in, and they must be members”.
84. Watch in Nigeria, here in Onitsha it has started, the headquarters is in Abuja. What is it? It is National Evangelical Commission. There is a big law now made by the Government.
85. Now, you don’t have any right to preach until you present your certificate from the Bible College signed by one Reverend Father and one Reverend Pastor acknowledged by CAN. Now they will tell you what you will preach, if you go out, do not preach anything outside it.
86. In Onitsha, their chapter here is at Ugwunabamkpa. Reverend Oyoyo at Assemblies of God Mission is their head and every other Pentecostal is a member. They have their ID card, man and woman before you are set out, you come, they tell you, “This is what you are going to say. Do not go outside this.”
87. You see now where we are heading to, every market, union, union, union, union. They are coming together behind every union. Roman Catholic Church! Know your enemies. Every Seven Thunder, seven virtue, seven thunder millennium, all false doctrine believers, they are all members but when they speak, they will deny our Lord God who have saved us, that they have their God.
88. He is here; I owe no man no apology for saying the truth. I know I am dying for the truth. Why must I be afraid? I better not. I know one day, this place must be closed, we will scatter; everyman to his home, every woman to his village then we will know whether you are godly or not.
89. Godliness is not in the Church, Godliness is in your home, it is your yard, it is your business, it is in your market, and it is in your everything.
90. You come here to receive training, and then you go outside to practice it. You see why you must worship God by revelation that no man, no woman, no preacher will preach out your CONVICTION because you are certain. If he is not here, I will not be here. This is the truth. Amen.

BE VERY CAREFUL
Look at Abraham, when Abraham left the promised land, what did he meet on the way. Let me tell you, when God tells you to come to the land that is full of blessing, you will never discover blessing until your faithfulness is proved.
2. Hear it now, God promised Abraham to go there and he promised him blessings, he is the same God that allowed that great famine to come to that land to prove the faith of Abraham.
3. Let me tell you brother, if you are married and you have no children, barrenness is not a promise of God. God will watch you to know whether you are faithful, whether you can wait like Abraham so that when your faith is proved, you will have testimony.
4. How many years did Abraham wait after receiving the promise of God: twenty five good years, he did not run out of patience, he was trusting God.
5. You are always in a hurry, what happened, because of a little test, little trial, Abram packed his home, and everybody packed into Egypt. Confused land, the land of sin, he took his people to land of sin because of little trial of food, little test.
6. See what happened in it, he had been living with his wife always until then. “Sister you see, you are beautiful oh, this people will not allow me to enjoy you, and they will kill me because of you. I know them Egyptians, fornicators, adulterers.
7. You know all this truth, we are going there. Sister you have heard everything, where are you going to, leaving the Promised Land and you follow your husband like “MUMU”. He has told you they will rape you and you are following him; you are blind.
8. “My husband is going to Deeper life, how can I leave him, no! How can, how can, you are blind when you have seen the glory of God. Stand alone. Let him go alone! You go to heaven alone, brothers the same thing. You walk by your conviction. Do not wait for your husband to believe, he may not believe and you die with him.
9. Watch, while they are going leaving Promised Land and then going to Jericho. What happened to him, Abraham was influenced by the spirit that was in Egypt. He started lying, tell them that you are not my wife; I will tell them that you are not my wife. Abraham is now ready to allow his wife to be defiled so that he will live.
10. Pastor, you want to compromise to sell your wife, your Church, blind pastor! Abraham is now ready; if I tell them you are my sister, they will take you and leave me. He is ready to deny his wife because of the famine, little test of his faith and this woman was watching speechless.
11. The people actually came, Abraham told lies. Only God saved his sister Sarah. Pharaoh came, “bring her to my cousin.” And the man was watching. He did not say; “DO NOT DO IT, I am a Jew, do not defile my wife rather kill me, he closed his mouth. You see, leaving Jerusalem.
12. The same way, if you leave Jerusalem, you will face the same thing. Your faces are changing a little; it’s the Lord warning you not a man. Like father like son. Let us see Genesis again, you will see another man. Genesis 26:1-11, “And there was a famine in the land, (another famine) besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham.”
13. Besides the first one, another famine done come in the land. This one is in the land of Gerar where Abraham settled Isaac his son and his wife the daughter in-law. Watch what happened.
14. “And Isaac went unto Abimelech King of the Philistines unto Gerar. And the Lord appeared unto him and said; go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of. Sojourn in this land and I will be with thee and will bless thee; for unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all these countries and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father.
15. And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven and will give unto thy seed all the countries and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept thy charge, my commandments, my status and my laws. And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
16. And the men of the place asked him of his; and he said she is my sister: Faith or he feared to say she is my wife; lest the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she was fair to look upon” KJV .
17. “AND THERE was a famine in the land, other than the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to Abime-lech king of the Philistines.
18. And the Lord appeared to him and said, Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I will tell you. Dwell temporarily in this land, and I will be with you and will favor you with blessings; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
19. And I will make your descendants to multiply as the stars of the heavens, and will give to your posterity all these lands (kingdoms); and by your Offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, or by Him bless themselves,
20. For Abraham listened to and ob-eyed My voice and kept My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.
21. So Isaac stayed in Gerar. And the men of the place asked him about his wife, and he said, She is my sister; for he was afraid to say, She is my wife—[thinking], Lest the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is attractive and is beautiful to look upon.
22. When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac caressing Rebekah his wife.
23. And Abimelech called Isaac and said, See here, she is certainly your wife! How did you [dare] say to me, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I thought, Lest I die on account of her.
24. And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? One of the men might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt and sin upon us. Then Abimelech charged all his people, He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.” AMP.
25. Like father like son. If your father is a polygamist, if you are not careful, if you do not repent very soon, you will become a polygamist. Check your Bible, as a mother is, so is her daughter. When the first woman was called a harlot, check revelation, the book of revelation, check Chapter 17, check chapter 18 also.
26. When that Church was called a harlot, which was Roman Catholic; the Bible said; “All the men in the world, great men in the world committed fornication with her and she produced adulterous daughters after her kind.”
27. CMS left Roman Catholic because of chaplet. Watch CMS today, all they condemned they embarked on doing today; they only exist in a name. You see it? The Pentecostals condemned Roman Catholic but see them today, watch them, watch their women. If you want to know the spirit that is in the Church, look at the women in the Church.
28. If you go to the town you have never been before, if you want to know the nature of that street, if you want to know the lifestyle, do not enter taxi, stay on the street, wait a little while, look at their women, look at their ladies, find out how they dressed, find out how they are talking, find out how they are walking, find the type of life in that city.
29. We are blind! Watch the Pentecostals, watch their women, so are their men. They are very stubborn people, disobedient to their husband, resisting their ministers, carrying their wickedness to the Church. Even the women run away from their husbands. “My husband was persecuting me because I believed in God”. Shut up your mouth!
30. Who is that man who will not love his wife that lives a holy life? Watch, when foolish ladies are disobedient to their brothers and sisters, disobedient to their parents, they run into the Church. “My parents are persecuting me. Watch men, some that are very old, men do not want to marry them because their wickedness is written on their faces.
31. Then they will run into that place after all, the Bible says, “Do not be equally yoked with unbelievers, they will marry me, one day they will marry me, I will be singing special number, I will go to the pastor’s house always so that he will recommend me, I will do the whole work in the Church. Blind people, we have known more than that.
32. That adulterous woman produces adulterous daughters. Go to Grace of God in particular; their women now dress more than Roman Catholic mothers. The difference is this: while Roman Catholic women will put on knickers and polo sleeveless, one reverend gentleman will come because he is not married, he does not know that a woman body is sacred. He does not know how to honour a woman because he is not married, it doesn’t concern him.
33. He will buy one football, bless that football in trinity, and throw it into the field. The men will jump in; women will jump in, men and women playing football. You will see a mother with knickers and sleeveless. What a horrible sight and this reverend gentleman will not stop it. They will gather the whole world to come and will be clapping hands in the name of Christianity. What type of Christianity is that?
34. The Bible said he is guilty. All those people that are taking delight in watching those things, they are also guilty. You are shouting, I am checking a spirit. Be very careful, before Isaac knew what was happening, something happened: he had denied his wife like his father, he said he is now my sister. Let them not kill me. He did not care whether all of them will defile his wife. He is a blind pastor.
35. There is Danger in leaving Jerusalem. Do not leave Jerusalem whether famine will come or not. Brother, if you are sure that God told you to open a business and that he is going to bless you there, say amen, and keep on trusting him. He will prove your faith; He may cause people to run away from that place to know whether you will change your mind. Tailoring to crayfish, from crayfish to hotel, from hotel to dry cleaner, you did not believe in him.
36. I do not know how long it will take, if you heard from the Lord: “Open tailoring business, I will bless you there.” I do not care if it takes one million years, though it may tarry but it will surely come to pass but before then, trial will come to try your faith so that you have a testimony.
37. Do not leave Jerusalem, the presence of God. Many people left Jerusalem. There is a man in the Bible called Elimelech. I am jumping many things here. This man called Elimelech in the book of Ruth 1, read from verse 1 – 5.
38. This man was there in Bethlehem the land of the blessed. This woman called Ruth was recorded in the Bible as an example.
39. Ruth 1 verse 1 -5, “Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
40. And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
41. And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.” KJV.
42. “IN THE days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem of Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, his wife, and his two sons.
43. The man’s name was Elimelech and his wife’s name was Naomi and his two sons were named Mahlon [invalid] and Chilion [pining]; they were Ephrathites from Bethlehem of Judah. They went to the country of Moab and continued there. But Elimelech, who Naomi’s husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.
44. And they took wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They dwelt there about ten years; And Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them, so the woman was bereft of her two sons and her hus-band.” AMP.
45. He left Jerusalem, Bethlehem the land of blessing because of famine, famine, famine. It was because of famine that Jacob left the Promised Land and carried his entire family into Egypt. We must be careful because of food, food, food, food, food, food, food. Go to the street; “Brother how now? Nna it’s only hungry.” Sister how now? Nne, it is only hungry”.
46. See brother duping brother; “Brother why are doing this? Nna man dey look for wetin person go chop.” Beat your belly, watch all the Pastors that called themselves.
47. What did Bible say? They are preaching their own belly, making merchandise of men. Here, we do not serve table, we do not want your money, we want to see Christ in you. I want to see Christ in my life. Keep your money aside!
48. Look at this man called Elimelech, Chapter 1 from verse 1 of Ruth, “Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
49. And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.” KJV.
50. We believe what the Lord is telling us, we can now see how a man left the land that was blessed and went to Moab; the land God warned His people when they are coming out of Egypt, “You would see the people called the Moabites, go and beg them so that you will pass through their land. Whatever your cattle will eat, you will repay them.”
51. They said no, you would pass through our land. And the Lord warned that they should not have any dealings with them, they should not even marry their daughters.
52. Look at this woman, her husband and her entire family; they have now gone to Moab leaving Jerusalem, the land that is blessed. Watch what they met like the man that was moving from Jerusalem to Jericho.
53. See what they met: the head of the family died, the two sons died. Who were left behind; only the wives. Why? He left the Promised Land and he went to the place that is cursed. You see it Church, be in the spirit. One day, somebody will rise up and say, “Revival is now in the Pentecostal, we will go there and dance, we will dance in the spirit, dancing in the Lord, dancing in the Lord.” You will die, your family will perish because you have left God’s presence, and nothing is protecting you.
54. Somebody should rush to that place. This man left the land of Bethlehem, land of blessing and now is going to a cursed land. See what it caused him; the children married strange women, married Moabites and their doctrines. What caused it; famine. Church be in the spirit, one day the Lord may allow this latter rain to stop a little while.
55. You will preach and preach, nothing will happen, you will call for fasting and praying, nothing will happen. You will scream and scream, nothing will happen.
56. And from here, you will hear stories; “Oh this man, this man Pope anointed with the spirit to unite the Pentecostals and Catholics in Nigeria—a Moabite—he is coming, a big minister, anybody he touches, the Holy Ghost will push him down. If you go there, you will die.
57. The same spirit that anointed Moabite in Nigeria, anointed Oral Robert, anointed Billy Graham, anointed Reinhard Bonke in Germany to preach Ecumenical movement and ground all of them as one with the Pope.
58. Billy Graham was a Baptist, he went to the Pentecostals, and today he is a Roman Catholic. Oral Robert was a Pentecostal, today he is a Methodist. Which way, where do you place this Moabite? He is an Anglican, he is a Roman Catholic, he is a Baptist, and he is a Pentecostal. Which way now?
59. One day you will go there, that is Moab. You will die, God Church spare you, be very careful. Leaving Jerusalem, going to Jericho, do not do it, otherwise the devil will not spare you.
60. If you read your Bible very well, there was a very big drama. I want you to see it Genesis 28 : 6-9 “When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan; And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram;
61. And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife” KJV.
62. You see what happened there, a very big drama. Deep calleth deep. You see Esau became jealous of his brother Jacob because his father blessed him.
63. Jacob obeyed the voice of Isaac during his marriage and he made a very nice choice for marrying a believer. But before then, Esau was already married in disobedience. When he discovered that Jacob was blessed, he wanted to follow anyhow.
64. Where did he go to? To his own seed. He went to Ishmael. “He went to Ishmael”. Son of Abraham in the flesh, born outside the promise of God to fulfill Bible; “Esau I hate, Jacob I love.”
65. Somebody is not spiritual; there is no mistake in marriage. A man marries his character. If you see a man, that is his wife. This is strange. Somebody cannot understand this.
66. If you come to my house and I am not there, you have seen my wife; whatever you see in my wife, that is my nature. Two can never go together except they agree. It is one spirit. That is a drama. Leaving Jerusalem for Jericho, somebody is bound to die. Amen.

DO NOT CONFORM TO THE WORLD
Romans 12 from 1-3, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”KJV.
4. “I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.
5. Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
6. For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith ap-portioned by God to him.” AMP.
7. Do not conform to the world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove that which is good, which is holy, which is perfect and acceptance will of God.
8. Do not conform to the world; this is instruction, how does the world conform itself. Look at the world today, they have their own way of dressing, they have their own way of doing everything.
9. Go to their homes, you can hardly find a space. Watch them, the world, when they come into the Church that Church becomes the world. It becomes a worldly Church. Do not conform to the world. Sisters take note.
10. All along you have been shouting. Guard up your loins. Do not conform to the world. Watch the world; they have their own way of making their hair. They have their own way of sewing their dressing.
11. Watch the world, they have their own way of talking, they have their own way of dancing. On Sunday in the fellowship, we dance in the spirit, we sing in the spirit. The Lord is pleased. In the world, they dance in the world, they sing in the world, “Where I have Jesus, I will be proud”. Watch them; it is not a godly song.
12. What did the devil do, the devil knows the tricks of the Church: “Since they have decided that they would never dance in the world again, in the open places, they will not dance disco, they will not dance ikwokrikwo; I will go into their Churches. They would put disco and put the name of Jesus. I will anoint men, men will rise up, beat drums, beat record, beat the name of Jesus and that is enough.”
13. That is why on the other day; it was; “Up, up Jesus, down, down Satan oh”. Everybody, watch them they would dance and dance and dance. Dance away the spirit then start burning among themselves, fornication will start, to fulfill scriptures that say; when they came together, men and women, they ate, they drank, they rose up to dance . What followed? Fornication.
14. Watch, what the Bible is telling you, when the world is going to the left, go to the right. If the world moves to the right, go to the left. Do not conform to the world. Understand it.
15. The spirit wants to help you. Before, plaiting of hair was the way of a prostitute, the way of a street woman. Check Isaiah 3; the Bible says they plaited and carried plaited hair. They were going, moving and filled with pride. With rings everywhere. Bangles on their ankles, on their hands everywhere, and anywhere they were going to, the thing was always shaking with sweet perfume, well-packed hair and the Lord was displeased.
16. Instead of getting sweet smell, they are rotten. Instead of well-straight hair, the hair will become burnt. Watch Bible fulfilling. How many ladies today are complaining that their hairs are falling off because of perming and jerry curling?
17. Watch them, after their makeup, a little heat would touch them, watch the odour coming out, you can hardly stay around them. Watch them; waterproof is expensive now because of them. Rainy season is coming, all of them will carry waterproof so that rain would not touch their hair because if it touches it, it becomes rotten, stinking, wait a little.
18. Before, plaiting was a simple one but the women of Jerusalem plaited it so high to reach heaven. That became their own style. Your faces are changing, I am attacking a spirit. A time came when it was no more plaiting, it became well setting, well-packed. Read your Bible.
19. I am checking the spirit. Watch the world, if the world is going to the left, a child of God goes to the right. Bible says; “Don’t conform to the world, be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may be able to prove what is good, what is holy, what is proper, what is accepted and perfect will of God.”
20. If you are mixed up with the world, how can kettle call pot black, if you cannot see afar of, you will not be able to know what is good and what is bad.
21. First of all, you will separate for God is the God of separation. The word of God calls for total separation from every worldliness, every unbelief.
22. When Abraham was called, it was total separation. Check your Bible. Come out of her and be ye separate: “I will bless you, you will be my people, and I will be your God.” You can never sit down on a chair and lift it up at the same time. Brother, it will not work. They will come into our Church, go back and die.
23. Did the Bible say go back and preach to them? “Come out from among them, be ye separate then you will be able to find their fault”. Your eyes will become clear.
24. Do not conform in anyway by their teaching, by their custom, by their tradition, by their doctrine by their conduct, by their morals. Separate, I will bless you. You will be my people and I will be your God.
25. Watch the world, I want to touch something; a time came in the Old Testament, watch those people, the Lord placed a curse on them. In the fullness of time, God took those people away; read Gen Chapter 35, you will see what happened.
26. Jacob was commanded to collect all those strange gods from the women. When they were surrendering all of them, they surrendered every jewel, every gold, every silver, even earrings. They surrendered all, those things are gods.
27. It started from Genesis; separate from unbelief. Watch what is happening today, look at the world, and look at the teachers. Who made this law in Nigeria that every female teacher should put on gown or skirt? Your faces are changing. Let me run away from here a little.
28. You godly mother, you godly sister, look at yourselves. Who gave the law that women should not tie wrapper again? And you are a child of God and you do not know what is happening.
29. I will tell you the spirit Satan is giving. Watch the whole women, all the teachers today is skirt, blouse, gown. You will not know who is a woman and who is a lady. It is the same spirit that anointed them to become young ladies. A woman would like to be a guy. Low cut, all of them on low cut. It is long hair. God said, “Do not trim, and do not shave. Wear it long for it is given to you as a covering over your hair.”
30. If a man has long hair, it is a shameful thing. Brother if you shave “malla”, nobody will ask you questions but if a woman shaves “malla”, people would ask her; “Is your husband dead, is your father dead?” you can now see why God said it is the glory of the man for the man is the glory of that woman.
31. If you shave or trim it, you dishonor your husband and when you dishonor your husband, you are likened to a divorcee. It is one spirit. You will not know a mother; you will not know a lady. Before you know it, every woman now has makeup kit. Every woman, “mama mmadu” paints her nose, paints her eye, paints her ear, everywhere.
32. What happened to your wrapper? I will tell you the reason they are giving; before you know it, pastors’ wives joined, Elders’ wives joined. Check everywhere, the whole Churches; skirt and blouse, beret, gown. Check them, when they are going, they are exposing their hips, luring men to have sexual intercourse with them. Enticing pastors, enticing spirit and the everybody would see it.
33. People would see it very well and this is where the world is going. They have hated wrappers. Some children of God will see it and they will join. Blindness.
34. Watch the spirit, Satan is giving them well. Hollandis is now expensive about N1500. I do not have money. That spirit will not tell her that we have Ankara N100, we have Nigeria print N250, and we have Niger print.
35. Don’t we have God’s children who can join them together for us in a godly way? Why must it be Hollandis? Watch the way you sew your dress, worldly looking like tolotolo. You see the world going that way and you are joining them blindly.
36. You are a sister in this Faith, you are not married; don’t you know how to make your skirt, don’t you know how to make your blouse. What is clothing? It is made to cover one’s nakedness. No more no less. You don’t want to be a woman again; you don’t want to be identified as somebody’s wife. Your aim is to deceive young men. Who are you deceiving? You can deceive them but you cannot deceive me.
37. Don’t conform to the world. These things are formed for the renewal of your mind that you might be able to prove that which is pure, which is good, which is honourable, which is perfect and acceptable in the sight of God for you as a child of God.
38. Why are our women plaiting, watch the world, plaiting is now old fashioned. If you see somebody that is plaiting, they will call her “mgbeke, mgboye”. She is not modern, she is not a modern woman, and she is not a modern lady because she has no money.
39. Let me tell you experience has proved to me, it is costlier to plait now than to jerry coil. The devil will tempt you, put a little attachment. What is attachment? Is that your hair? Artificial make up; what is makeup, mask. We are not Pentecostals; we are the “old fashioned children of God”. We are worshipping an old fashioned God, there is no modern, we have only one old God that is worshipped by the old fashioned human. No more no less.
40. Do not deceive me, repent. You are here when you hear this word, you better repent. You don’t know how to make your dresses, come to me and I will tell you. It is your own shame, if you are a child of God that cannot dress well. Brother the same thing.
41. Watch a brother, watch a sister who gets a new cloth and wants to sew it, the style becomes the problem, that is carnality. You are not yet born again in the spirit and you may be in this Fellowship dancing.
42. Your faces are changing because I am telling the truth. If I do not tell the truth I am indebted to God. I want to wash off my hands completely. Whether you say amen or not, God has echoed Amen. Why must we be careful? Lest we go from Jerusalem to Jericho because when you leave this old fashioned way and you are going for the world, you are going from Jerusalem to Jericho for this world is cursed.
43. This world is under a curse; how would you crucify an innocent man? They killed the Prince of Peace that is why this world has known no peace till this very day.
44. This world is under a curse. Didn’t they say “Let the blood be upon our head, our children and our children’s children? Are you not one of them, children of Abraham by faith and heirs of the Promise? Who killed him, were they not sons of Abraham? Check your Bible. Don’t go to Jericho, be a child of God in word and in deed.
45. Hebrews 10 from vs 23-24. “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works…” KJV.
46. Let us hold strongly what we are professing to be our faith, our doctrine, our conduct, our order. Let me tell you, most of the sins you commit in your yard, most of the sins you commit in your business places, check your life properly; you commit them at the time when you should be in fellowship. When you go, go and check your life, come here next time and tell me what you find out.
47. Hebrews 10 vs 25-28. “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another : and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
48. For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses. KJV.
49. “Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but ad-monishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching.
50. For if we go on deliberately and willingly sinning after once acquiring the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice left to atone for [our] sins [no further offering to which to look forward].
51. [There is nothing left for us then] but a kind of awful and fearful prospect and expectation of divine judgment and the fury of burning wrath and indignation which will consume those who put themselves in opposition [to God]. Any person who has violated and [thus] rejected and set at naught the Law of Moses is put to death without pity or mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.” KJV.
52. God is witness. We have witnessed the blessing of God in our midst. We have seen the manifestation of the word. We have seen the Holy Ghost. We have seen everything so we have no excuse. If after all these things, you forsake the gathering of the saints, forsake Jerusalem and decide to go into the world, into the denomination, into our villages; there remaineth no other blood, there remaineth no other Holy Ghost.
53. He that had sinned willingly; what is willingly? It does not take you by surprise, you have witnessed all these things, you have seen all these things, you are not in doubt willingly, and deliberately you decide to go back, that is death. No more. You have crossed a divide, no coming back.
54. What are you going to wait for; wait for the fearful indignation that will come upon you when God will reveal his wrath from heaven upon the children of disobedience.
55. God is in the camp, God is speaking to us in the camp, God is moving in the camp. Be gentle and receive his voice. God has exposed everything to you; the danger of leaving Jerusalem for Jericho. You that are privileged to be in Jerusalem witnessing the glory of God, why do you want to go to Jericho?
56. Why do you want to go to the world? What is good in the world? What is attracting you to the world? Is there anything good in the world? Is there anything good in Jericho? Is there anything good in Moab? What is that thing that is making you to compromise?
57. Think seriously, think about your life. It is not by making a noise, it is thinking seriously about your life. Is there anything good in the world again? What will separate you from the love of God? Is it famine, is it hunger, is it sickness or is it poverty? What will separate you? Is it barrenness? What will separate you from the love of God?
58. What will make you go back to your vomit? Something you have rejected, something you have criticized, why must you go back to it? Check your life. Check your life my sister, check your life my brother, it is not by shouting.
59. The man left Jerusalem and he nearly died. It was amazing grace that saved him. Why do you want to go back? What will make you go back? Amen.
