THE LORD SHALL JUDGE AND VINDICATE HIS PEOPLE [REVISITED] VOLUME 5 PREACHED ON SUNDAY, 17TH MAY 2020 AT BRIDAL LODGE NSUGBE, ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA. BY THE SON OF MAN APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE SAINTS.
… I am in the fore front of the race with you, for a true leader stays in front. If I had been somewhere pointing you to this road, you have reasons to doubt Me, but because I am in the front absorbing all the shocks, the whole discouragement has been on Me, the whole scandal, mockery blasphemy, hatred, every kind of thing has been on Me for your sake and for the sake of Christ, still none of these things can ever deter Me for I see them as a mark of My calling in Christ. I am poised to fulfilling this Ministry God has committed into My hands and end it in joy. I know how to keep you in your sanctified estate. The worst thing that will happen is keeping you lazy, doing nothing at all. If I have kept all you waiting without keeping you busy, by now, you must have fallen away from the Faith of Christ.

YOU CANNOT BLASPHEME GOD AND WRIGGLE OUT OF IT
THE LORD SHALL JUDGE AND VINDICATE HIS PEOPLE Volume 2; Preached on Sunday, 11th February, 2018 at the Household of God, Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena. THE SON OF MAN. THE JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND OF THE DEAD; Page 59 from verse 64.
Remember that somebody invited you to come when he had already put himself together, intending to talk blasphemy. I told you to go, but by the time you got there, the mouth that invited you could not talk.
This one is referring to our former Brother, Joe Ogbuka who was invited by late Chief Judge of Enugu State, late Justice Umezulike.
He invited him to his house when he heard that Joe Ogbuka had already repented and joined us again. He invited him and said he had a lot he would discuss with him and will share his experiences with him.
Joe Ogbuka asked Me for permission to go. I said, “With all pleasure. He is residing in his house. When you were there and he was there as the Chief Judge, were the two of you not meeting in the court? Now, he is in his house and he invited you, please go. You said you have come back to the Faith. Go!”
He said “Daddy.” I said “Go. There is nothing he will tell you other than stories to discourage you from continuing in the Faith. Simply go.”
He said, “Okay Daddy. I will go. Since You have permitted.” Then I said, “Brother, let Me ask you this question. What if you get there and he is around, but he cannot talk to you again?” He said, “well, I will come out.” I said, “Okay, go.”
That was why he left Nsukka and went there. He [Joe Ogbuka] called Me from his house and said, “Daddy, I do not know what to call it o. I drove into his premises, only for me to see this man being taken by ambulance. He is in a coma. They said they are taking him to a hospital.”
I said, “Okay. So you did not discuss.” He said, “How can we? I did not even sit down for I saw them packing him inside one ambulance with one of the daughters. They said they are going to the hospital. He is in coma.” I said, “Okay. You saw him in coma. And he did not recognize you?”
He said, “His eyes were tightly fitted.” I said, “Okay. Thank you very much. You can go back home and then when you come here, I will talk to you.” He said, “Daddy, I am afraid o.” I asked, “Why are you afraid? He is gone.” He shouted, “What?”
I said, “You will never see him walk into this compound with his two feet again. I think he wanted to talk to you, to stop you from embracing the Truth. He will talk to you in the hospital. Go there.”
He got to the hospital, but he [Umezulike] did not open his mouth and that was the end of the journey. The wife called Me, and I said “There is no need calling Me. He can never come down from the sick bed. That is the end of the journey. Period.”
He planned on what he will do, but he never knew what God was already planning. You see why people are dying.
It is not easy to blaspheme God and wriggle out of it. If you wriggle out of it, you have made the Word of God of non-effect.
Be ye not deceived, God is not mocked. Any seed a man soweth, that he must reap.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. [Galatians 6:7 KJV]
I do not need to dwell on that. Let us go to our Message.
But with all these things that have been happening all these years, can people learn their lessons? Those that went have not come back, yet others are rushing there.
Those that misbehaved and were cast away have not come back. Yet, one who claims to be inside is walking out of the boat; The salvation boat.
One that is inside the salvation boat is moving in and out of the boat along with heathens thinking that God does not know you. Do not worry. Do not worry. You will reap the fruits of what you are sowing sometime, someday; Sometime, someday.
Remember that somebody invited you to come when he had already put himself together, intending to talk blasphemy.
I told you to go, but by the time you got there, the mouth that invited you could not talk.
What can you say about somebody who is seeing others struggling, striving every day to reconcile with God, but the person is struggling and striving to strain relationship with God? What can you say about that person?
Will you not say that the person is beside himself? The person is mentally deranged and spiritually deranged. Is it not true?
If you listen to what is happening in too many families, you can hardly believe that many has ever tasted this truth before. What I am telling you is the truth.
May God help us. How many did I expose yesterday, and all that came here bowed their heads in shame. Did any of them lift up his face again?
The only thing left for them to do was to vomit the drinks they had taken. There was one person that held his drink all through covering it with the tip of his finger.
This is because the matter was going out gradually but repeatedly. They were all looking at themselves. Is it a lie?
I then asked them a question, “Please Brethren, is there any way I have offended you people concerning this matter? Does anybody know about this matter?” All of them echoed that they know about the matter.
I asked to know whether there was any way I have offended anybody by reporting the matter falsely. They said, “Daddy, that the report is according to truth. This matter is very well known to us, and we can tell it to people even referring them to where it is contained in the Bible. As per worshipping God, Daddy, we have not started.”
Every other person in that gathering kept his face lowered, including the Deacon, the Apostle and everybody.
There is something that can be considered secret. Is it obedience?
“Give Me this cup”, and you give Me this cup, is it hidden? “Break it!”, and you break it, did it hidden? First of all, obey, before I begin to judge your motive. Thank you.
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, “Because the Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.”
Note it. Because the Lord hated us. Have you ever seen one that spoke like this?
Have you heard it before? “Because the Lord hated us, that is why He brought us out of Egypt. The Lord hated us. That is why He brought us out.”
So, God has a dishonest intention. You know that when the going becomes good, nobody is a leader. But when the going becomes very bad, a leader will emerge. Is it not true?
For example, if I nominate a Sister for marriage to a Brother or nominate a Brother to a Sister, as long as the going is okay and very good, Son of Man is the best man. I am a friend to the family and to everybody, even to the parents and the in-laws.
But anytime the tide changes for worse, Son of Man becomes the talk of the day, “It is because He hated me. I know He hated me from the beginning. That is why He nominated this wicked woman to me. That is why He nominated this wicked man to me.
If He never gave me this man, I would not have married him. I know the type of man I had in mind, if not for this useless Faith. They said he is a Pastor, he is a Deacon, he is this and that; a precious brother in a useless Faith.
Look at this useless Faith. He has now caused me to come and live in this miserable poor family”, because the tide has changed.
But when the going was good, everywhere was flowering, there was shout of joy everywhere, and Son of Man was the best that made the best. Is it not life situation?
Life has taught Me that when the going becomes good, nobody is a leader.
I remember what happened when Lebechi Abonyi went to burial with us, when we buried late Bishop Columbus. That was the day My wife introduced her to Andrew Uyans.
Eventually, they got married. When the going was good, they were flowering. They were rich. They were blossoming, and she said nobody nominated, that she knew from the beginning that Andrew did this and that.
But immediately the tide changed, it is the Son of Man and the family that nominated him. “This criminal. This mad man.” But when he was showering money and doing everything, they found that man. No leader. No guide.
Life has taught Me that. I hope I am making sense. Look at Moses. When he crossed the Red Sea with them, they screamed [in a song}, “Who is like unto Thee, O Lord? Among all the gods, who is like You? Glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders. Hallelujah!
[11]Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? [Exodus 15:11 KJV]
They called it song of Moses. They proceeded. Light came in the night. In the day, the Cloud. They were rejoicing. Before they knew it, manna was coming down from the sky. They were eating.
“Bring the meat. My Father, You have a reward.” Everybody! But a little while, the Lord said that He will teach them how to endure hardship.
The Lord withheld those things so that they will pass through a little trouble. “Oh, this Man! We did not know that You are so wicked. Very wicked Man. Look at. You would have allowed us to continue, by now we should be running around our pot of meat.” It is there, written in the Bible.
[3]The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in Egypt! There we sat round pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.” [Exodus 16:3 NIV]
I do not know if you are getting what I am saying. Pot of meat. So, man has a problem. Man has a problem.
Look at what they were telling Moses, We know you hate us, as if Moses was enjoying life while they were suffering.
Christ is the owner of His Church and He cannot share His Glory with any man. He is the administrator of His Church and He has commanded His Ministers to be very careful the way they handle the affairs of His Kingdom. You are administrators God has approved to look after His own Heritage. At the end, you will have a reward from the Man that appointed you. And Ministers! You know it is a privilege, not a merit. Do you know that?

FORGET NOT THE LORD’S BENEFITS
THE LORD SHALL JUDGE AND VINDICATE HIS PEOPLE Volume 2; Preached on Sunday, 11th February, 2018 at the Household of God, Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena. THE SON OF MAN. THE JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND OF THE DEAD; Page 65 from verse 12.
A man spoils his ways only to turn round to blame it on God. Yes!!! That is, when you squander your opportunities and resources in frivolities, which you were supposed to use judiciously and progressively.
That which you should use to support and improve your family, you use it for beautification. Does the food you had eaten come back to you again? Can you eat your cake and have it?
When your inability to plan very well about your future has landed you into despair, instead of courageously accepting your foolishness and your willful omission, you are looking for a place you will lay your hand where you will pass the failure or the blame.
A man spoils his ways only to turn round to blame it on God. True or false? Good.
Remember, this is God’s judgment in the Bride. Keep on weighing yourself on what you are hearing as I keep on weighing Myself.
If you can pass, nothing will ever condemn you again. For whatever that will justify you is in this Message. what will condemn you is equally in this message.
Your willful disobedience is now attributed to God. Willful disobedience, which is unpardonable sin.
This is the one whose heart is hardened about what he is going to do. So full of himself, he goes ahead to do it.
Somebody his heart is hardened for what he wants to do; Somebody that is full of himself or herself; Self-pride, self-ego, “My mind is made up. My heart is fixed. No Jupiter will stop me. I will do it.”
Even if God speaks and says, “Do not try it”, that is not for that person. Now, the decision he has been making and implemented has landed him into trouble. Who will carry the blame? God.
Now trouble has come out and he is saying that God hates him. Mixed multitudes! Strangers! This is where I want you to underline.
All that glitters is not gold. Look at! From the beginning, God has been hammering on these people, saying that they are in the majority. Did He mention their names? But by their fruits, ye shall know them.
“…And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots,
When we did what? …sat by the flesh pots,… Lifting the pot in and out of fire. With the meat in the mouth, you cannot understand what the person is saying
When we sat by the flesh pot and when we did eat bread to the full.
It is no longer a situation where you are given a portion of the loaf but the full loaf, all to yourself.
When given a full loaf of bread, the person tears it into two, dips it in the teas and forces it into the mouth. Bro Eli! When it is set on the table, it will look appetizing.
Look at what they are remembering. Pots of meat! Loaves of bread. It was not the situation where you will be served slices, you will be given the full loaf.
Are you sure that if you were there that time that you would not have done the same thing? What type of journey is this? Did he not tell us that the land was a land flowing with milk and honey? Now he is telling us a different thing. Why did you not leave us to be enjoying our pots of meat and loaves of bread.
Exodus 16:7 “and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord; for that he heareth your murmurings against the Lord: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?” KJV
Because of this sin we have read, we will finish this Message. So, if your heart has been in the pot of rice, pot of meat and loaf of bread, I want you to be hungry very well so that you will devour the pot of meat.
They were bitten by terrible snakes but God healed them [and] gave them food which they never paid for. The Bible said, “They forgot all.”
They forgot the Lord’s benefits. That was why the Psalmist said, “Praise the Lord, O my soul. And forget not His benefits.”
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. [Psalms 103:2 KJV]
“They forgot all, despised His words and instead turned into murmuring [and] complaining against God.”
You must despise God’s words; you must forget all God’s favour which He has shown to you in diverse manners before you begin to murmur and complain against God. You must forget. It is a MUST.
You MUST forget all the good things God has done for you. You MUST forget all you have seen with your eyes and all that you have benefited before you begin to murmur and complain against God.
And the moment you begin to murmur and complain, the Word of God will be nothing to you. The Word of God will no longer be effective in your life again, for you have drawn a line against God. And at the same time, God has drawn a line against you.
You have crossed the divide. You have entered into the region of the lost. It does not mean you will die immediately. You will still remain in the fellowship with the saints, but you are merely there wasting your time.
That is why, when I was talking to the Elders, I said that now, we are in our homes, anybody is behaving as he wishes. In spite of all these Messages I am staking and sticking out My life to send to everybody so that we shall remain alive both spiritually and physically, but reports reaching Me from all families now are no longer palatable.
They are nothing to write home about, we cannot excommunicate such people again because they do not have any overseer over them except the husbandman of the house.
Where our youths are living, they are living as individuals. Some are living in twos or threes. They are pastoring themselves. Whatever they are using this Message for, I do not know.
If they are paying attention, I do not know. If they are not paying attention, I do not know. But from the reports I am getting, it is evidently clear that nobody is paying attention to My message.
And they are not preaching any Message higher than what I am giving them. Neither are they remembering that they have sermon books again.
To many families now, Fellowship is a disturbance they can no longer tolerate. They have fellowshipped for too long. I heard somebody saying, “You people should go and be doing this thing you are doing. Worshipping God does not end.”
In a family, someone called the father and mother, “Come let us go and worship God. Today is Friday Fellowship.” He said, “Please leave me. Do not trouble me. Does worshipping of God end?” I heard it here. You do not know what is happening.
Now, I told the Elders, we cannot intrude, investigate or excommunicate. What makes us one? WHAT IS THE POINT OF OUR UNITY, IF NOT THIS CHRIST?
You will know what I believe and My stand, if peradventure while we are in our homes, somebody dies. If somebody dies, you will know exactly what I believe. You will hear My Voice. Then you will know that I know what is happening in every home.
I do not pray that any should die, but if any dies and the person falls within the ambit of these trouble shooters in the various homes that are no longer fellowshipping in the spirit and in truth, and who are merely joking and jesting, ridiculing the Faith in their homes.
Some of them are husbands. Some are wives. Some are children who have become uncontrollably bad.
If any dies or if any runs into difficulty that requires the help of the Brethren, you will know My colour and you will know what I believe. Then, the whole world will know that I am monitoring every family.
They murmured where? In their houses. In their tents and stopped believing God’s promises. They were on their own without God. Simple-minded Jews thought that those people were still with them, not knowing that they had already backslidden in the hearts.
You see why God said that you must be very careful when you come together, whether in the Fellowship out there or at home.
Do not fear the fear of the heathens, let the heathens not be your dread, but steer clear from somebody who calls himself an Elder, a Brother, whether by age or anything, I do not care, but who is out of the way of truth, who is backslidden in the heart, with his character depicting that he is no longer with us, but he is still saying, “Shalom Brother! Remain blessed!”
He is still entangling himself with you, and running around you. Run away from that person, for that person is very injurious. He wants to destroy your records.
That is why you must be praying for discerning spirit from now. When they want to come here, man and woman, I know all of them, and I discern them from upstairs.
They put on false appearance, I say they put on false appearance, humble. They hide their real nature. And that is why, for some of them, I do not even come down.
For some, when I come down, I do not attend to them because I cannot be a fool like them. Yet, I love them. That is the best answer; the best response they deserve.
So, be very careful the way you mingle with them and the way you communicate with them, even using your phone. Some of them are no longer with us in the Faith. I am telling you the truth.
Now, they are in their homes, some are giving it their own interpretation to mean, “Go and behave the way they like. Who is monitoring me? O boy, let me go and rest for those people. It is not every time, it will report upon report to THE SON OF MAN. Everybody will be reporting. When I pass, they look at me.” Who is looking at you?
This is because an evil-minded fellow thinks that everybody hates him, when he is the one that hates himself.
Just like I am here now; can I give account of Christian Dike and the family, there at Osina in Ideato? Can I give account of Chukwuemeka at Nnewi, together with the family? What can I say about Philip and the family?
Begin to see that we are now sitting on a very precarious condition and this is the best condition by My own assessment, for it is revealing who is who. It is revealing who is who. You can only complain from afar.
If I do not invite you to come, will you come? When you come without My invitation, I will send you back. You did not call Me. I never knew that you were coming. Please, go back. When you call Me, I will give you a date. You go and call for a date, it may be till eternity. Finish!
So, you have to take your time here in this Family and build yourselves up in this most Holy Faith. Do not look sideways. Do not begin to think about other families.
Think about your own family. Think about your own life. You are the one that is going to stand before God in judgment. No man will take your position there.
You will speak for yourself. You are coming with nobody. You are the one that will cross the gate. Nobody will help you to cross it. And whatever you can get now is what you will present there.
THE LORD SHALL JUDGE AND VINDICATE HIS PEOPLE Volume 2; Page 72 from verse 36. Simple-minded Jews thought that those people were still with them, not knowing that they had already backslidden in the hearts.
Who are these feeble-minded Jews? Those that are gullible to those insinuations and falsehood that were being spread by strangers who they were respecting because they had been in the Camp for years.
No matter how many years you have spent in another man’s land, you are still a stranger.
Page 78 from verse 59. If I say I want to meet with the Elders now, you will now see the calibre of Elders that will gather. Elders that cannot even balance what they believe.
Elders that cannot balance the Godhead. Elders that cannot close the mouths of gainsayers using the Messages.
Elders that cannot speak publicly, I mean, announcing their Faith. Bro Eli is also an Elder.
They can only make their Faith known to their fellow Brethren and not to their friends outside, not to their relations. Yet, they have been in the Faith.
Page 82 from verse 4. Go back to the Commission. And Judgment comes last. Judgment comes last. Examination marks the end of every semester. What?
Examination marks the end of every semester. True or false? No semester starts with examination. You must teach a people before you examine them.
Page 83 from verse 7. I told you that a day is coming when many of you will use lantern, use torch and look for THE SON OF MAN. You will not see Me again. My face shall be hidden from you. Has it not come to pass?
And then you will remember the good old days when you were having access to His face, but it will be no more.
The whole calls I am receiving now is “Daddy we are missing you. Daddy how do we come to you?” God has placed a bar. Boundary is closed. To come to Nsugbe is not easy. To go back is not easy.
You are on your own. I am on My own. They thought I was kidding when I prophesied it. EVERY STATEMENT THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF A MAN OF GOD IS WHAT? A PROPHECY. Repeat it.
I told you that a day is coming when many of you will use lantern, use torch and look for The Son of Man. You will not see Me again. My face shall be hidden from you.
Page 85 from verse 18. If God is not pleased with you, is it a good situation? Let Me tell you. Before God will destroy somebody, He will hate that person. Underline it in your heart.
IS THE SON OF MAN NOT THE PROMISED PERSONALITY THAT WILL COME? NO OTHER PERSON WAS PROMISED BY JESUS THAT WILL COME, THAN THE SON OF MAN. AND HE IS THE MAN THAT IS VESTED WITH JUDGMENT POWER. HE HAS AUTHORITY TO JUDGE THE WHOLE EARTH. NO OTHER PERSON IS JUDGING. HE IS THE ONE. NO OTHER PERSON IS JUSTIFYING YOU. HE IS THE ONE.

I AM HELPING YOU TO JUDGE YOURSELF
THE LORD SHALL JUDGE AND VINDICATE HIS PEOPLE Volume 2; Page 98 from verse 32.
Jude 12 …and like Korah, they have disobeyed God and will die under his curse. When these men join you at the love feasts of the Church, they are evil smears among you,… LB
They are? Evil smears. “…laughing and carrying on,…” What? Laughing and carrying on. Laughing and carrying on in the church. Men and women that have been handed over to destructive spirits. Yet, they do not want to go. And they do not want to stay.
That is why I told you, “All these people that are not entering paradise know themselves. They know also that I know them and equally confirm it every day that I know them.”
How do you know? If, from time to time, I will ask you whether you really know Me, “Are you sure you know Me?”, it then means you are still distanced from My salvation.
Christ, first of all, obeyed and became the author of eternal salvation only to those that will obey Him.
[8]though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; [9]and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; [Hebrews 5:8 – 9 KJV]
God has given us the understanding to know Him that is true. We are in Him that is true, even in the Son of Man, who is what?
Who is what? He is God. He is also eternal life. I cannot deny what I am, for Jesus never denied what He is. No prophet can deny himself.
[20]And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true; and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. [1 John 5:20 KJV]
I am the true God and eternal life revealed in this last generation for a full and complete salvation of all Elect of God made up of those that have been eagerly and patiently waiting for Him.
[28]Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for and expecting Him. [Hebrews 9:28 AMP]
[28] So also Christ died only once as an offering for the sins of many people; and He will come again, but not to deal again with our sins. This time, he will come bringing salvation to all those who are eagerly and patiently waiting for him. [Hebrews 9:28 LB]
These are the people I have appeared for their sake.
The rest are strangers. The rest are mixed multitudes. They have no part in the life that Christ gives.
That is why they are among these people that will be hearing the Word of God while they are sitting down in the congregation of the saints, but they will be laughing.
They will be jesting. They will be looking sideways. They will be discussing with their fellow jesters, sneering at the preachers and ridiculing the Message.
They are in the majority, men and women, including their children. If you watch their children, you will know that this Message is not for them.
They even discourage their children from paying attention. The same way they discourage them from joining in the works of the Ministry. I am telling you.
Since this lock down, almost all the students, a good number of them who are desirous of making full proof of their ministries visit the Post Office from time to time, because they are all computer literate. They encourage the Brethren. Some are transcribing. There are many in all Local Assemblies.
But there are some that have not done anything and their parents are not encouraging them to do anything.
Rather, they can play. They can jest. The moment their parents go out, they will go out with their worldly friends.
When they time the hour their parents will come back, they will rush home, giving the impression that they did not step out. They are everywhere. I know those that are working. I know those that are idle.
These are the strangers, mockers, mixed multitudes, behaving like their parents. “I don’t care” attitude.
Page 98 from verse 32. …they are evil smears among you,…” They are? Evil smears. “…laughing and carrying on,…”What? They are evil smears, laughing and carrying on.
What? Laughing and carrying on. They will be in our midst, and as I am talking, they are laughing. Leave us! No way.
You will even be asking, “What has this person come here to do?” When a Message that should touch him goes forth, he or she starts laughing.
His colleagues are remorsefully crying wherever they are because they know they are guilty, but this one is laughing in the seat and pretends it does not concern him or her.
True or false? Many of them are liars. Male and female, young and old. If you ask the person a question, “Are you sure you understand it?” The answer will be, “O yes! I understand it. I am with you. I am with you.”
You asked, “But it does reflect on your face.” The fellow will retort, “Do you want me to be crying?” You close the mouth, for he is already waiting for you.
One that is all out, waiting for destruction, the mouth of that person is filled with defense. The mouth of that person is filled with defense, for he knows he is constantly in error. So, he builds his defense ahead of time.
That is why for anything you say, he has something to reply. He will retort immediately.
He will even go about boasting, “O boy, he came asking one kind of question. And I quickly gave it back to him immediately.” That is their language.
“I do not take chances, because if I spare him, he may sabotage me. So I had to fire back. We kept firing questions at each other. That was how we parted ways.”
Can that person behold the majesty of the Lord? An Igbo adage says that a child that is doomed insults an elder, and boasts afterwards that he gave it to the elder the way the elder deserves.
Page 39 from verse 35. If you ask such a person whether he or she is understanding what the Message is all about, the reply will be, “Do you want me to cry.”
Their judgment had already been foretold long long time ago. Their judgement had already been foretold long long time ago.
When these men join you at the love feasts of the Church, they are evil smears
among you, laughing and carrying on…
Note, when they join you in your feast of love in the church. This is the Church in the family of the Son of Man.
Even if they come here, they are what they are. You meet them at GTC, they are what they are. In every fellowship venue where you meet them, they have not changed.
They are the same yesterday, today until in hell. Even hell fire will not change any. Can hellfire change the nature of the devil whereunto he is ordained? What am I trying to say?
He that cries because he is arrested is crying lest he will be killed. That one is not ordained to steal. The one that has stealing as a nature is not afraid of death. He is never afraid of imprisonment.
You can hardly see him cry. Even if the whole world will beat him, he will pretend he has fainted for the time, when they remove their eyes, he will fly away.
But watch one that is not having that nature, before you slap him, he has already started urinating. He will be vowing, “I will never go this way again. If I ever escape this one, no more.”
You will know that it is not his nature. But the one who is ordained to evil will be threatening that loss of life should not hinder you from going to war; soldier go, soldier come, barrack remain; Man die go, woman born another because that person is a habitual sinner.
A habitual sinner is never afraid of punishment. He is never afraid of who will catch him. That is a habitual sinner. His impression is, If it takes imprisonment, no problem.
What am I saying? A prostitute can never be ashamed of going naked on the street, for thereunto she is ordained. True or false?
That is why you see them fighting on the street, half naked, holding their customers on the street and disgracing them by way of demanding money from them. Do they feel ashamed? That is their nature.
So it is with every other criminal. When one is criminally minded, even if you catch him red-handed, he has no remorse. He will be defending and defending.
If you are not strong enough, in the attempt to escape, he will even hit you. If you slap him, he will slap back. That is a criminal. If you accuse a thief of stealing he will retort by asking if you do not steal also. Do you not see that this person is a hardened criminal? He is hardened, for him to reply to the accusation, “Are you not also a thief?”
If you enquire, “Why are you indulging in something like this?” He will retort, “When did you see me? what were you looking for when you saw me?”
What I am telling you is pure truth. That is a bad fellow that is not willing to change.
But one who does not have that nature will even bow his or her head down in shame, and can never lift it up because the spirit will smite the conscience.
When these men join you at the love feasts of the Church,… After doing all these things, they will still join us in the feast of the church.
When these men join you at the love feasts of the Church, they are evil smears among you, laughing and carrying on gorging and stuffing themselves without a thought for others.
They are like clouds blowing over dry land without giving rain, promising much, but producing nothing.
They are like fruit trees without any fruit at picking time. THEY ARE NOT ONLY DEAD, BUT DOUBLY DEAD…
This is Scripture. It is not just that the person is dead, but the person died completely. The person died beyond redemption.
There is no point trying to bring him back because there is no more revival again. There is no point trying to wake the person up so as to help him, for you cannot help a dead fellow that is already in the mortuary. He is stiff. He is hardened in iniquity.
Page 99 from verse 40. They are like fruit trees without any fruit at picking time. They are not only dead, but doubly dead, for they have been pulled out, roots and all, to be burned….”
JUST WATCH AND WAIT. ANY MOMENT FROM NOW, EVERY STATEMENT THE SON OF MAN MADE IN THIS JUDGEMENT BOOK WILL SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
EYES WILL SEE and EARS WILL HEAR. ALL THAT HEARD HIM WILL SAY, “I AM NOT SURPRISED FOR THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HAD EARLIER DECLARED IT.”
Page 101 from verse 45. Therefore, no condemnation to those that are holding unto the righteousness of Christ who are found in Him always, not holding their own righteousness that is of the law, who are free, for the law of the Spirit has set them free from the law of the flesh, who do not count on what they can achieve in the flesh, for the flesh profited nothing.
[This is] because they are worshipping spiritually, it is impossible for them to murmur against God. Pure truth!
YOU CANNOT WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH AND MURMUR AGAINST GOD OR WALK CONTRARY SPIRITUALLY. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. THAT IS WHY NO MAN CALLETH THE THINGS OF GOD ACCURSED.
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. [1 Corinthians 12:3 KJV]
THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST MUST IDENTIFY THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN A BROTHER AND IN A SISTER. THAT IS WHY WE ARE ALWAYS IN HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER, IF WE ARE OPERATING IN THE SAME SPIRIT. YOU MUST MIND THE SAME THING. WE MUST AVOID EVERYTHING AVOIDABLE. IS IT NOT TRUE?
ALL OUR ACTIONS, UTTERANCES AND RELATIONSHIPS MUST AGREE WITH THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD FOR US. THERE IS NO WAY GOD CAN BRING US TO JUDGEMENT WHEN WE DO HIS GOOD WILL. RATHER, HE WILL ABIDE WITH US STILL.
Page 101 from verse 46. Because they are worshipping spiritually, it is impossible for them to murmur against God. It is impossible for them to complain, for they know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those that are called according to His purpose.
[28]And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. [Romans 8:28 KJV]
Yes! This is because no stranger among us. So there is no evil one who could stir up murmuring. No one to stir up complaining, for we have the same nature. If we eat, we are happy. If we do not eat, we are happy.
Nobody will be feeling cheated because he is hungry since morning, And for that, he remembers pot of meat at Aba or pot of fish at Enugu or Okpa Ninth mile which he is not eating here again.
You will not remember television and football, which you are no longer playing in Obohia [in Aba, Abia State]. Nobody will be feeling that he is now in prison or in bondage or that his liberty is caged.
“O boy! I am in a cell here o. It is not easy for one to live in the house of THE SON OF MAN o. O boy, what I am experiencing here is too much.
If man should run away now, the Brethren will have a field day talking about it. It is prison. Period! I am saying it just for saying sake, for there is nothing one can do about it. If we run away, we cannot be better there. We will be enduring it anyhow.”
You tell him, “You are really enjoying life”, and his reply will be, “There is no enjoyment there. It is not easy at all. There is a pot of meat. There is also a pot of food, but you will suffer. Man is in bondage.
Man does not go out anyhow again. Once you come, the gate will be locked and you cannot go out. Once the Gate is locked, you cannot go out. If you go out, the time will be noted. When you come back, the time will also be noted.
And there is not trick of yours that will not be exposed. O boy, this thing is not easy. It is not easy at all.” Amen.
TO LIVE UNDER ONE ROOF WITH GOD MEANS TO LIVE IN A CORRECTION HOME. HOME OF CORRECTION. REHABILITATION HOME.
WHEN YOU COME HERE, YOU RECEIVE A REAL ETHICAL REORIENTATION. YOU RECEIVE A NEW BEGINNING, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. THE HIGHEST THING YOU CAN DO IS TO RUN AWAY AND THAT IS NOT THE REMEDY. AMEN.
SO THIS IS A REFORMATORY. I SAY, IT IS A REFORMATORY. YOU MUST BE REFORMED AND REFINED. YOU MUST BE REFORMED AND ALSO REFINED. YOU WILL NO LONGER BE CRUDE AND RAW.
ALL THOSE CRUDE AND ELEMENTAL SPIRITS THAT WERE GOVERNING YOUR LIFE BEFORE MUST BE GOTTEN RID OF. SO THE MOMENT YOU COME HERE, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, YOU MUST BE FORMATTED.
Page 101 from verse 45. Therefore no condemnation to those that are holding unto the righteousness of Christ who are found in Him always, not holding their own righteousness that is of the law, who are free, for the law of the Spirit has set them free from the law of the flesh, who do not count on what they can achieve in the flesh, for the flesh profited nothing.
Because they are worshipping spiritually, it is impossible for them to murmur against God.
It is impossible for them to complain, for they know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those that are called according to His purpose.
When you are called according to God’s purpose, everything must work out for your own good.
And these are numbered among the Elects, whom the LORD cannot impute sin.
They are numbered among the elects whom the Lord cannot impute sin. They are happy. They are to be envied. Yes!
Page 102 from verse 2. How can you walk after the dictates of the [Holy] Spirit and then be complaining and murmuring? IMPOSSIBLE! Is it possible? Never! This is because murmuring and complaining are spirits. …
They are what? Spirits! They are what? Evil spirits! Cool demons! … They are spirits. They are evil spirits.
Sometimes, you see the victim looking like one that has just been recently treated of madness, sitting alone and biting randomly at the lips, murmuring, the face filled with anger.
You salute, “Good morning,” trouble. He will not hear. You salute, “Good evening,” trouble. You say, “Remain Blessed,” it will be worse. Do we have such people? Implacable people.
Page 103 from verse 6. From morning till this hour, I have been aiming at one thing. Helping you to judge yourselves, and not God, by giving you the parameter, so that from all these ramifications, you can check your conscience.
You may not know what will befall you, but you know what you are doing. You know what you have done.
What you do not know is what will happen to you, but you know what have done and what you are about to do.
You can outsmart everything, not your conscience. This is because when Truth comes, it revives your conscience,..
Truth revives your conscience so that you can be judged.
This is because when Truth comes, it revives your conscience, so that you can judge your conscience. Period!
…DO WE HAVE TWO SONS OF MEN IN THIS MOST HOLY FAITH? NO! ONE SON OF MAN, ONE MESSAGE, ONE LEADER, ONE VOICE, ONE SPIRIT AND ONE CHARACTER.

THERE MUST BE ONE SHEPHERD AND ONE VOICE
THE LORD SHALL JUDGE AND VINDICATE HIS PEOPLE Volume 2; Page 98 from verse 32.
Romans 8:1 – 2. AMP “THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being]
The law of our new being. …[the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death.”
Page 106 from verse 13. Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verse 12 through 14. Amplified version. “But about going further [than the words given by one Shepherd], my son, be warned.”
… The Flock must be One. One Shepherd. One Flock. One Voice. Once there are many voices, people are bound to be confused.
THERE MUST BE ONE SHEPHERD, ONE FLOCK [AND] ONE VOICE. AND THAT SHEPHERD IS CHRIST. THE ONE VOICE IS THE VOICE OF CHRIST.
The Voice of the Bridegroom is the only Voice that Must be heard in the midst of the Bride. Every other voice, SHUT UP! It is a discordant tone.
That is why, no matter who you are, WE ARE MESSENGERS OF THE SAME MESSAGE. … Have you heard it? We are messengers of the same Message.
Page 107 from 17. One day, the voices of women will be stronger. As in many families…
Mark it. “As in many families.” Note the prophecy. One day, the voices of women will be stronger as in many families right now.
One day, the voices of women will be stronger. As in many families, women appear to be having stronger voices. … Right now.
… MEN ARE IN THE COOLER. Men are now in the cooler. When I mentioned it yesterday, all heads bowed down among the Elders. Bro Eli, is it not true? Thank you.
MEN ARE IN THE COOLER. THEN IDOLATRY NOW REIGNS SUPREME. What? I SAY, IDOLATRY NOW REIGNS SUPREME.
Idolatry now reigns supreme in every family, because instead of hearing the voice of the Bridegroom, we are now hearing the voice of the Bride.
Instead of the Bride to dance to the tune of the Bridegroom, the Bridegroom now has become a dumb dog and compromised to the as low an estate as dancing to the tune of the Bride.
If the church dictates what Christ will do, is Christ the husbandman of the church again? Idolatry will now reign.
It will become another Jezebel church. Another Jezebel religion where the woman usurps the authority of the husband and exercise authority over the Elders of the land, to the point of writing a letter using letter head, signing, placing a seal, inviting notable elders to come and testify against an innocent man.
She devised to exploit by taking the man’s plot of land by force and the king, who happened to be the husband, stayed quiet. He saw the anomaly, but he could not talk.
[6]And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money ; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. [7]And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel ? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry : I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. [8]So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. [9]And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: [10]and set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. [11]And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. [12]They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. [13]And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. [14]Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. [15]And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it. [1 Kings 21:6 – 15 KJV]
In many families right now, the voices of their women are what they are hearing. The men have become dumb dogs. So we are gradually going to reproduce [something] in this lock down.
If we are not observant and watchful, we will reproduce Ahab’s family. A wasted family. A wasted generation.
That was why when God passed judgement against that family, Ahab repented, but Jezebel waxed stronger with her children. God said I will not demolish and destroy his family while Ahab is alive, but any day Ahab dies, I will wipe off every soul in that family, so that they will not reproduce again.
[27]And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. [28]And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, [29]Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house. [1 Kings 21:27 – 29 KJV]
What happened? After the burial of Ahab, God commanded Jehu to go and wipe it off. He went there and wiped off every soul from that family, and that became the end of that family. A wasted generation.
[5]And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain. [6]And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel. [7]And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel. [8]For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel: [9]and I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah: [10]and the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled. [2 Kings 9:5 – 10 KJV]
Page 107 from verse 18. A situation where a man will speak and the wife will counter and they are in the same Faith, receiving the same doctrine, having the same Christ, having the same Spirit. …
Is it possible? Can it happen? I say it is happening right now. I am not going to mention names. I am saying it boldly, so that when those people will read this Message and hear My voice wherever these things are taking place, they will know that what is happening in their homes are fulfillment of this prophecy that went forth as how God will judge the bride, and that they are manifestations of God’s judgement in the Bride which started 2018.
The one I received last night from a family, if they will go through this Message today, they will chill if they are children of God.
But if they are not children of God, it will mean nothing to them. They will conclude it is happening in every family, because a criminal thinks everybody is like him. True or false?
… What can you say about it? The judgment is already here. If what you believe is what I believe, application is made easy. No misconception. No misinterpretation. No suspicion. This is because we believe the same thing. True or false? True! Good. We have the same Spirit.
“But about going further [than the words given by one Shepherd], my son, be warned.” Be warned!
CONCERNING GOING FURTHER THAN THE WORDS OF THE WISE SHEPHERD, MY SON, BE WARNED!
“Of making many books there is no end [so do not believe everything you read], and much study is a weariness of the flesh.”
I HOPE YOU ARE HEARING WHAT GOD IS SAYING BECAUSE, TODAY, YOUR LIBRARY IS NOW YOUR HANDSETS.
Your library is now your handset. PAY ATTENTION! What will destroy you is what you have purchased with your own money.
THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE INSTRUMENT IN THE HANDS OF FOOLS TODAY IS NOT A LOADED RIFLE, IT IS THIS HANDSET.
I hope you are hearing what God is saying because, today, your library is now your handsets. Every information in the social media, you now muddle up with the Faith.
Some use newspapers. Some use periodicals. And the more you read all these things, be sure you are listening to many voices.
Brethren were able to overcome death. One said, “This Faith held me back, for when I was about to strike, I remembered the Message that said, WE HAVE ONE COMMON ENEMY.” While meditating, he dropped the weapon. …
That is the brother that told me that he nearly committed murder. If not the Message that God just flashed across his heart, he had already lifted the machete to hammer the wife from behind because of that provocation that night, but the voice said, “Be careful. You are fighting a common enemy.” He dropped it. I said, “It is because you believed it.”
If you never believed it, no matter how you listen to it, you will still carry out your action. Another one reported the same day.
While meditating, he dropped the weapon. On going out, he met a Brother on the staircase, embraced him and then shared his experience.
Another one said he had already made up his mind, but he remembered the Message titled, UNGUIDED MOMENTS IN A MAN’S LIFE. As he meditated, he dropped the idea of killing.
As he meditated, he dropped the idea of killing. He that wanted to kill his own was descending the stairs and met with another brother who was coming to his house to report his own experience. And these things happened after evening Fellowship.
What if we do not have Messages that can change them? What if they never believed these Messages? Do you think they would have applied the Message? Can you see how powerful and effective the Word is to every seed of God?
If the Word of God does not restrain you from evil, nothing will restrain you.
The fear of God will lead you to obey the Word of God. Obedience to the Word of God will restrain you from evil. To fear God is to avoid evil.
You cannot say you have the fear of God and continue to cherish evil. Anything can have a defense, but not evil. Is there a good defense for evil? A good defense? Acceptable defense for evil? No way!
If you are fond of reading periodicals, going through social media, believing whatever you are getting there, muddling them up with the glorious Message of salvation we have received from One Shepherd, you are the one that will be destroyed in the end, for you are indirectly heaping condemnation to yourself.
I do not care how intelligent the writers might be, you cannot use that information in our midst for it will never work. WHAT WORKS FOR THE HEATHEN DO NOT WORK FOR US.
Take note of it. Whatever that works for the heathens do not work for the children of God. That is why we do not emulate their ways. Have you proved it in your own personal life? Thank you.
Brethren, I have to thank all of you for your patience. And I want you to join hands and thank God for Me for healing Me, for if I was not in my perfect condition, I do not think I would have travailed even till now [from 8 o’clock in the morning to almost 25 minutes past 4pm].
I mean, this is the Lord’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. You have confirmed to me that you are not tired. You can stand the test of time.
I deliberately programmed it this way, to know whether you can stand the test of time; Whether you can withstand lengthy ministration.
I mean, so that you know that there is no difference between worshipping God in the home and worshipping in the wilderness.
But we know that we are highly favoured here. The environment is conducive. We have the fan. The place is airy. We are sitting comfortably.
Now we are dismissing. We do not need to be going through the hard holdup, traffic jam or apian way. Now it is a matter of clearing this place, we go, take our bath, take our food and continue with God.
This COVID-19 pandemic has given us room for continuous worship. Continuous worship.
THE CLOSER YOU ARE DRAWN TO GOD, THE FAR AWAY YOU ARE FROM HELL. THE NEARER YOU ARE TO PARADISE. TRUE OR FALSE?
THE NEARER YOU ARE DRAWING TO GOD, THE MUCH AND MORE LIKELY HOOD FOR YOU TO ATTAIN GOD’S PERFECTION.
THIS IS BECAUSE PERFECTION CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED WHEN YOU EMBRACE HIM, WALK CLOSE FOR HIM, BRIDGING THE GAP.
IT IS NOT BY CREATING A GAP. BRIDGE THE GAP! CLOSING RANKS WITH GOD. YOU ARE PURIFYING YOUR LIFE EVERYDAY.
DRASTIC CHANGES ARE TAKING PLACE POSITIVELY IN YOUR LIFE. YOU ARE ACQUIRING SOMETHING THAT IS GREATER THAN HUMAN ESTIMATION AND YOU KNOW IT NOT.
Until that day, all will be astonished. You will now begin to appreciate what God has done in your life within this period.
This place has become a refining centre within this COVID-19 period. So the COVID-19 has been converted.
Converting disappointment to opportunity. Converting difficult and hard times to favourable times. That is what God is doing and we are blessed.
This judgment has been handed out, and I believe God that we shall scale through as we keep on obeying. Keep on drawing closer. Keep knowing.
Keep encouraging one another unto good works, unto edification and unto living the life that will make others, at least, say “To God be the glory.”
YOUR LIFE WILL REMAIN A TESTIMONY FOR GOOD. Aim at becoming a reference point for good, that somebody was lost, but today he is found. AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS, I NOW RAN BACK TO GOD.
We now invite our pastor to thank God for us and close us with a short prayer.
Knowing this little I am hearing now, that our granddaughter Ivanna Chiemerie clocked Two years today, shall we say Hip! Hip!! Hip!!! (Hurray!) Hip! Hip!! Hip!!! (Hurray!)
What do we wish her? We are wishing her immortality in Christ because once you are in Christ, you have everything.
In the days of Lot, no infant was saved. In the days of Noah, no infant. In Jericho, no record of infant. This is the days of THE SON OF MAN. Infants must be saved, beginning with my own infants.
If they will not be saved, Jesus Christ could not have used them as example, “Do not prevent little children from embracing Me and from coming to Me, for the kingdom of God is made of people like these infants.
[13]Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. [14]But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. [Matthew 19:13 – 14 KJV]
Especially those that are born in godly homes. But those that are not born in goldy homes, the Bible said they are pagans, they are heathens.
Thank you.
CONCLUSION
BY PASTOR WISDOM ODOEMENA
We really thank God for the wonderful thing He has done for us in this Family because as long as we live, we will continue to worship God. We will continue to testify of His goodness.
From the Message, God said today that the righteous will continue in his righteousness and the wicked will continue in his wicked ways.
So, that higher ground where God has brought us to, this is the time when we will consolidate our gains. This is because when you see you are succeeding, what you will do is consolidate your gains.
An Igbo adage says that commendation unto steadfastness for a good way of life is an encouragement to continue. This is the point where we are now.
And also remember that the moment God comments positively about you, that is the point the devil will become angry towards you. He will make sure you will ruin that record.
Let us bear it at the forefront of our minds. That this is the time when we are the greatest enemies of the devil because God has spoken good concerning us.
And every soul that God spoke concerning good of today, that is hearing the Voice of God this day should have it at the back of their minds, that you are now the greatest enemy of the devil.
He will continue to struggle to make sure he uses the method, but we believe that God in His infinite mercy will continue to see us through.
This is our greatest hope. And with this hope, let us stand on our feet as we close this gathering with a prayer.
