PREACHED ON SUNDAY, 17TH MAY 2020 AT BRIDAL LODGE NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA. BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA (THE SON OF MAN) THE JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD
INTRODUCTION
PRAYER
Of a truth, O Living God, you are the Creator of the Heaven and the earth and the fullness thereof, and of both the visible and invisible things.
From everlasting to everlasting, there is none like you. We have come before your presence this morning. As we have praised you with songs of praise, so it is from our heart, O LORD.
We therefore offer these sacrifice of Praise, O God that it may be a sweet smelling fragrance to you. As it is in our hearts, so we have rendered them to you, O God.
More especially, as we have at last, O LORD, invited you to take your complete control of our hearts. O God, Thou art both Spirit and Man. Take control over our lives and rule completely, O God.
May you never share your glory with any man. May your honour never be shared with any man, O God. Save us from this evil world. It is difficult in this evil world we are living in, O God.
Save us, O God from that evil one. Save us from temptations. Save us from all the diverse troubles of this world. Make use victorious.
Do not ever allow any one of us to be a victim in this battle. Do not allow any one of us, O God, to be drowned in the sea of this world. Do not ever allow the wind of this life blow us away from our positions, O God.
Do not ever allow, O God, that any story be told about the faith we have put in you. Do not ever allow that, O God. Help us, O God, for without you, we can do nothing.
Let us hold steadfastly the profession of our Faith without wavering till the end. Do not ever allow our spirit to grow weak.
You have made us to know and understand, O God, that as we journey along, that evil will grow so high upon the earth to the extent that the evil that will be in the midst of the people who call themselves the children of God will exceed those of the people of the world.
You said, O God, that because of this, the love of God in many will wax cold.
Holy Father, may you never allow us to be numbered among those whose spirit will grow weak. No matter what the situation turns out to be, may we remain in our position in you.
All our hope lie on you. No matter how the situation turns out, may we be the people that shall be the partakers of the eternal life through our faith in you. Do not allow us to be disappointed. Help us, O God.
Is there any whose spirit is growing weary, O Lord, lift such a fellow. Is there anyone who is still in doubt as to whether it is true or false, O God, make it clear to such a fellow.
Is there any that has fallen away from the Faith, but who is weeping and crying to be restored back to the Faith, wherever such a fellow may be, help the person O God, to find his or her way back to the Fold, even those that are in places where your hand cannot not reach, O God.
I do not know where such a fellow will be that your outstretched hand will not get to the person, for your hands reacheth to all the ends of the earth.
Show forth your mercy, O Lord to all such people. No matter how far they have strayed away, your hands are not short, O God, that you cannot save them. You are not deaf that you cannot hear their prayers.
No matter how far the fellow you have decided to save strays away from you, you will still save such.
We pray, O God, that your love be made manifest. May your Grace be made manifest.
Father, we do not want your judgment. As many of us that have been marked for salvation from the foundation of the world, we do not want your judgment. We do not also want to stand on our own self-righteousness.
Rather, we want to be found in your own righteousness, for you were the One that counted us righteous through the Faith we have in the One you have sent in our own dispensation.
In Him, O God, have you called us a holy and perfect people. Help us, O God, to keep believing. Do not ever permit us to be doubters. Do not ever allow us to make you angry, O God. Help us, O Lord that our relationship with you shall be like that of a Father and His children till the end, O God.
Whatever that might lead to, “Get away from My presence”, O LORD, do not ever allow that to ever come our way. In whatever way it may come, give us the victory, for we know that as soon as we depart from before you, we are face to face with the devil. We will find ourselves before our enemy.
If we leave your arms, we will find ourselves in the arms of the enemy, the destroyer, who does not think good of the children of God.
Help us, O God. As we hear your Word this morning O Lord, may our spirits be calm and at peace. May your Word enter our hearts, melt therein and become blood and water, become flesh, and become thought and also heart.
Use us as veritable tool in your hands, O God. Do not ever permit the devil to use us as instrument in his own hands. Our hope lies on you, O Creator of the Heaven and the earth. You are our refuge and rest. Only to you do we bring our prayers and supplications. And at Thy feet alone have we come.
Grant our prayers even beyond what we have asked, for you know us more than we know ourselves, for your holy Name’s sake. Amen.
If you do not know where we are, better know it now. We are talking about the Resurrected Body. I believe that it is the same Resurrected body that is still in our midst, talking to us and giving us the Word of life.
KNOWING YOUR STATUS IN CHRIST; Preached on Sunday 9th September 2010 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 62 vs. 2
1
THERE IS TIME FOR EVERYTHING
We can be seated. I know you are all in the spirit of worship and you may be wishing that I should grant you the time to sing from the Bridal Hymn Book. There is time for everything.
Today is another day in the sense that every new day brings us closer to our destination. God’s calendar is moving. The same way, the world’s calendar is moving.
By the world’s calendar, our president, Muhammadu Buhari, knows he has only but four years in his second tenure. The moment the four years expire, he will leave that office. So, he is programmed with time.
The same way, God’s dealings with mankind is programmed with time. God does not joke with time. Whatever God does is tied to time.
Whenever the time God allotted to His prediction comes, God will strike. Until that time, the Lord will do nothing.
If God says it is going to be twelve noon 17th of May 2020, the Lord cannot do anything even one minute to 12 noon. One second to 12 noon, the Lord will not do anything.
But the moment it strikes at 12 noon, the alarm will sound, and that is the end. Since we know that God has programmed all of us and the events happening in the world; He programmed all with time and this time is kept with the Lord as His greatest secret.
He has not revealed it to you because there is time for everything. There is time for your conversion. There is time for your perfection. There is time for your translation.
When the time for your translation comes, all that meet the requirements must be translated.
All that did not meet the requirements when that clock sounds the alarm, nothing in this life nor in the life to come will make God to consider them.
This is because the moment the alarm sounds, the mortal bodies will be transformed in a twinkling of an eye. You know what a twinkling of an eye is. A second! You just blink your eyes, and it is all over.
[52]In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [sound of the] last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [in Christ] will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed). [53]For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable [nature], and this mortal [part of us, this nature that is capable of dying] must put on immortality (freedom from death). [1 Corinthians 15:52 – 53 Amplified]
Those that have benefitted are already wrapped. Those that are failures are there, sitting down moping, wondering.
You see! That is why there will never be any sympathy for anybody that fails to make it, for God has given us a very long time to get ourselves ready by believing Him.
You know what it takes to believe Him. [1] Obeying His Word to the letter. [2] Following His precepts. [3] Working according to His command. [4] Doing nothing until you hear from Him.
He may not speak to you audibly. At least, He has already spoken to you in one way or the other, balancing your action, balancing your utterance and balancing your thoughts with the revealed Word of God in your day.
Whatever you want to embark on, I do not care what that thing looks like. I do not care the extent you are being tempted to do it, the extent you are being pressurized to do it.
If you can pause a little and remember what God had said in time past concerning that thing you have planned to do, definitely, you will be saved from that situation.
But when you know the truth and you harden your heart and do it anyhow, your conscience will ask you “Why?”
AND THE MOMENT YOUR CONSCIENCE BEGINS TO QUERY YOU, YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO JUDGMENT WITH GOD.
This is because you knew the truth. You know what you were supposed to do. Yet, you hardened your heart and decided to do it anyhow. It is a great insult to the Almighty God. A challenge to His authority and God will never allow His reputation to be ridiculed by the heathens. He must surely react.
Reacting means giving you a place with the heathens. For you are the heathen in our midst. One who does not know, and who does not want to know what the Lord said concerning whatever he is embarking on.
So, for you to embark on anything, first of all, settle it down in your mind by asking, “What has God taught us concerning this thing I want to do? What is the mind of God as revealed in His teachings concerning this thing I have planned to do? What if the Lord will ask me why? What will be my reply? If the Lord will accost Me and say, can you give Me just one reason why you decided to walk this way, what will be My reason? Will I be dumbfounded?”
If I do not have an answer to give, I have already declared Myself guilty.
The reason why I do not have an answer to give is that I knew that I should not do it. I knew all that Lord said concerning it, but I hardened My heart anyhow to do it.
That is why you must also harden your heart and bear whatever the punishment will look like.
THIS IS BECAUSE WE HAVE A PROBLEM. THE DEVIL WILL NOT ALLOW US TO KNOW WHAT WILL BEFALL US IF WE ERR. HE WILL ONLY HELP US TO GO WRONG.
BUT THE REPERCUSSION, THE DEVIL WILL NOT HELP US TO BEAR IT, FOR THE DEVIL DOES NOT MEAN WELL TO ANYBODY. HE WANTS TO CORNER EVERYBODY TO WHEREVER HE IS.
REMEMBER THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER SIN THE DEVIL COMMITTED OTHER THAN WILLFUL DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WORD WHICH BECAME A CHALLENGE TO GOD’S AUTHORITY AND TO GOD’S PERSONALITY. AND GOD DECIDED TO REDEEM HIS REPUTATION BY PUSHING HIM OUT.
If we are found in disobedience to the truth that is revealed to us, it then goes to show that we are satanic. We are satanic! We have made up our minds to go where the devil is.
But no true seed of God can venture into it. I just want us to read two scriptures before the Sunday school teacher will come and take up the pulpit.
Who had a close insight into the hour? The Resurrected Body. Who is feeding us with this Truth? The Resurrected Body. Who has the ability to fish out criminals from amongst us? The Resurrected Body. Who has the Power to separate the sheep from the goat? The Resurrected Body. Who knows who is who in the Bride? The Resurrected Body.

DRAWING BACK FROM THE GUIDE MEANS ETERNAL DESTRUCTION
Can somebody turn with Me to the Holy scriptures. I want us to read from all the available translations we have here. The book of Zephaniah, the prophet. An end-time prophet. I am not reading Haggai. I am reading the book of Zephaniah chapter 3 verses 1 through 4.
Living Bible. 1Woe to filthy, sinful Jerusalem, city of violence and crime. 2In her pride she won’t listen even to the voice of God. No one can tell her anything; she refuses all correction. She does not trust the Lord nor seek for God.
3Her leaders are like roaring lions hunting for their victims—out for everything that they can get. Her judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time, who by dawn have left no trace of their prey.
4 Her “prophets” are liars seeking their own gain; her priests defile the Temple by their disobedience to God’s laws.
Zephaniah 3:1 – 3. King James Version. 1Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! WOE TO HIM THAT IS FILTHY AND POLLUTED.
2She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.
3Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
Zephaniah chapter 1 from verse 1 through 6. Living Bible. 1During the reign of Josiah (son of Amon) king of Judah. 2“I will sweep away everything in all your land,” says the Lord. “I will destroy it to the ground.
3I will sweep away both men and animals alike. Mankind and all the idols that he worships—all will vanish. Even the birds of the air and the fish in the sea will perish.
4I will crush Judah and Jerusalem with my fist and destroy every remnant of those who worship Baal; I will put an end to their idolatrous priests, so that even the memory of them will disappear.
5They go up on their roofs and bow to the sun, moon, and stars. They ‘follow the Lord,’ but worship Molech too! I will destroy them.
6And I will destroy those who formerly worshipped the Lord, but now no longer do, and those who never loved him and never wanted to.”
I WILL DESTROY THOSE WHO FORMERLY OR WHO PREVIOUSLY WORSHIPPED THE LORD BUT NOW, THEY HAVE BACKSLIDDEN, AND THEY ARE NO LONGER CONTINUING WITH GOD.
THE LORD SAID, ANY DAY YOU DRAW BACK FROM FOLLOWING HIM, HIS SPIRIT WILL NO LONGER BE PLEASED WITH YOU.
CHILDREN OF GOD ARE NOT NUMBERED AMONG THOSE WHO DRAW BACK ONTO PERDITION BUT WE MATCH FORWARD TO THE SAVING OF OUR SOULS.
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. [Hebrews 10:39 KJV]
From the Holy Quran, we saw Bible repeating.
THERE IS NO WAY BELIEVING GOD WILL NOT CAUSE YOU SOME HURT. IT MUST CAUSE YOU SOME HURT. BUT BECAUSE OF THE JOY THAT AWAITS THE BELIEVER, YOU WILL BEAR THE HURT WITH JOY.
[2]looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. [Hebrews 12:2]
Moreso, when He that is holding the keys of heaven and hell has been revealed in human form, and we know it to be true, vindicated and confirmed by the Supreme Deity that the Deity dwells in Him, what else do we need? I say, what else do we need.
FOR SOMEBODY TO DRAW BACK, THAT GOES TO SHOW THAT, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, THAT PERSON HAS BEEN A MANIPULATOR, A COUNTERFEIT BELIEVER. THE PERSON HAS NEVER BEEN FROM THE ORIGINAL STOCK.
ONCE YOU ARE FROM THE ORIGINAL STOCK, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN DRAW BACK FROM THE TRUTH THAT IS EVIDENTLY SET OUT BEFORE YOU WHICH YOU ARE A PART OF.
I BEGIN TO ASK THIS QUESTION. IF A SEED OF GOD SHOULD BACKSLIDE, WHAT WILL HE BACKSLIDE INTO?
IF I AM A SEED OF GOD FROM THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, WHAT IS THAT SCIENTIFIC FORMULAE OR EQUIPMENT OR EXPERIMENT THAT WILL NOW TRANSFORM ME TO BE DEVIL’S SEED?
The matter was finished when I handled it once and for all. NO MATTER HOW YOU SCREAM, NO MATTER HOW YOU PREACH, WE ARE DIRECTING OUR MESSAGES TO TWO PEOPLE.
ONE: THE SAVED. TWO: THE LOST. BOTH THE SAVED AND THE LOST MUST HEAR THE SAME MESSAGE.
THE LOST WILL HEAR AND CONTINUE IN THEIR EVIL WAYS. THE SAVED WILL HEAR, AND IF THEY WERE PRACTICING EVIL, THEY WILL TURN AWAY. DO YOU GET IT?
WHOEVER THAT HEARS THE WORD OF GOD AND TURNS AWAY FROM EVIL BELONGS TO GOD. WHOEVER THAT HEARS THE WORD OF GOD AND HARDENS HIS HEART AND CONTINUES IN HIS OLD WAY OF LIFE, FROM THE BEGINNING, NEVER BELONGED TO GOD.
That is why God said that the Message must go to the wicked. And it must go also to the righteous.
This is the grace of God that has appeared to all men that bringeth salvation. Teaching us to deny all ungodliness and worldly lust and live righteously in this present world. True or false?
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; [Titus 2:11 – 12 KJV]
WHEN THE WORD OF GOD COMES, IT COMES WITH CHANGE. WHOEVER IS ABLE TO CHANGE IS A SEED OF GOD.
BUT AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT A SEED OF GOD, THERE IS NOTHING IN YOU THAT WILL ATTRACT THE WORD OF CHANGE. YOU WILL HEAR LIKE OTHERS, BUT TO CHANGE WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT.
The only person that will hear, “Your life is in danger” and he runs back is one that values his life.
But whoever that does not value his life, if you warn him that his life is in danger, he will say, “Until I get there.” True or false?
Such a fellow will say, “Until I see with my eyes. After all, I am not the only one that is involved. Too many people are still on the highway. Why should I not follow them? Do not worry until I get there.”
Do we have such people? They are everywhere. You see why you must be very watchful.
I am giving you the background of what we are going to study. I do not know what the Sunday school will look like, but it will not last more than 30 minutes, creating room for us to listen to the teachings.
I want to read another Scripture. Revelation chapter 1 verse 8 only. In King James and Amplified versions of the Bible before Living Bible.
KJV 8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
SONG: [I am He that liveth and was dead. And behold, I am alive forevermore. Come unto Me all ye nations and be saved. For I am He that liveth and was dead.]
When our Brethren went to the landlord in charge of the building where Apostle Kelechi is living, the man repeated what he told Apostle Kelechi before them.
He said that immediately he came into the Message and saw where THE SON OF MAN introduced Himself as “The Resurrected Body”, and he saw the vindication, immediately, his mind went back to what was shown to them when he was in Rosicrucian order (AMORC).
He told them that their Avatar said that the greatest Avatar that will appear on earth for salvation of man is THE SON OF MAN, and that HE will be a black man.
And that HE will be no other person than the same Jesus Christ that is coming back, this time around, as a married man, but He will be a black man drawn from Africa.
The man said that he remembered it immediately. Then the avatar said, that not everybody will recognize Him because He will be very simple. He will come at the prime of His youth. He will reveal Himself and hide His face from many.
He will not be a public figure and He would not like to introduce Himself anyhow as what He is.
They will know Him for one thing while He is another. He will eat the same food with them, mingle with them, associate with them, do the same work. Wait for Him for He will not come until the Cloud reveals who He is.
You must see the Cloud standing behind or in front or by the side or surrounding Him. That is the Man.
Then I remembered the Bursar, University of Nigeria Nsukka campus, who came to Me in those days with Joe Ogbuka, and who was an Avatar in Eckankar.
When the Word went forth, he started his abstract projection until he slumped down in My parlour with many others and echoed, “So, what we were told in UK in 1978 during our world convention has happened at last. How I wish my wife came with me. We heard it. We knew that He is coming. We knew He must be an African, a black man, a young man. But I thank God I have seen Him.”
When we went to Nsukka, he came with his colleagues. We took photographs together and we were taken to Joe Ogbuka’s home where the parents entertained us that year. I went with My wife. Although we did not eat their food, yet, we were given a warm reception.
What am I trying to say? DRAWING BACK FROM YOUR GUIDE MEANS ETERNAL DESTRUCTION.
IF GOD HAS APPEARED IN YOUR OWN DAY, REVEALED HIMSELF TO YOU AS YOUR GUIDE, INSTRUCTOR AND LEADER, VINDICATED AND CONFIRMED BY THE ALMIGHTY, AND YOU DRAW BACK, DEFINITELY, YOU HAVE NO HOPE AGAIN.
WHAT IS KILLING MANY IS THAT THEY THINK THAT THE PATIENCE OF GOD WILL BE FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING. GOD HAS ALREADY CLOSED HIS CHAPTER WITH MANY AND THEY KNOW IT NOT.
GO HAS CLOSED MANY PEOPLE’S FOLDERS, CHAINED THEM, AND RESERVED THEM IN THE FELLOWSHIPS. Now, he is reserving them in their homes. He is no longer reserving them in the fellowship venues.
They are now all reserved, chained, imprisoned in their own homes. They are cut off from all the activities of THE SON OF MAN. They can only see the face of THE Son of Man now sparingly.
But those who are alive in their families are seeing the face of the Son of Man daily in their dreams, in their visions. Even in the day, they see Him but they cannot touch Him.
Evidences abound. I know too many families I have visited within this period of lockdown, and they have their testimonies. They are not sharing it with Me. They are sharing it with almost everybody.
I remember there was one I received this evening. He called Me, said, “Daddy, my greatest joy is that I have never slept without seeing You and shaking Your hands, live.”
One sent his own this morning, all the way from Ebonyi State. He said, “how glorious the day will be, for throughout last night, I was there and You were ministering, I was nodding My head that I am a part of this Family.”
Another one sent his own even to some of you here, all the way from Rivers State. Elder Loveday. He had the same experience.
The wife was somewhere sleeping and had her own experience, rushed into the husband’s room to share the experience. Only to jam the husband who was rushing to share his own experience. When they shared their experiences, it became the same experience. The same visitation at the same time.
Husband and wife sleeping in two separate rooms, receiving the same visitation at the same time heard the same Voice and saw the same face. Is it not amazing?
YOU MUST KNOW YOUR POSITION. But there are some who will go to bed, instead of seeing the face of the Son of Man, dogs and wild animals will be pursuing them. Masquerade will be pursuing them. Every kind of evil thing will be pursuing them.
…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.
BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION; preached on Sunday 21st November, 2010 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 103 vs. 12 – 13

Last night, all I knew that died, who were close to Me in My home town, they sent one who is just My brother nearest to Me at home, who died long ago to come and carry Me with his vehicle.
I was wondering what could be wrong. I told him, “My man, vacate! I am not entering in your vehicle.” He was surprise and wanted to insist. I repeated Myself, “I am not entering your vehicle. I am not interested.”
He was looking very old with red cap. While I was walking, he was just following Me strictly, beckoning Me to enter. I said, “Why should I enter this vehicle?” He said, “But sun is too hot on you”. I said, “Leave it. I am enjoying the sun.”
He continued. I had to turn back. When I turned back, he reversed his vehicle and followed Me straight again. Then I paused a little, only to see that he was carrying two persons behind.
Before I knew it, the two persons opened the two doors. I noticed that they were going to give Me a chase. So, I ran. They went after Me seriously.
When I jumped the gutter, they jumped. Anyone I jumped, they jumped until I climbed one particular area, landed somewhere. They watched Me from a distance and went back to the vehicle.
I was feeling pressed. I said, okay let Me go and ease Myself, having run for such a long distance. Everywhere was littered with faeces. I was looking for where I could cross.
Immediately, I saw a little stick that was used to cross the gutter. I crossed it and asked one woman there, where I can ease Myself. She said, “These are public toilets, but they are all filthy.” I said, “Let Me manage it anyhow.”
Immediately I crossed, face to face, I saw an old woman tying wrapper, looking as if she woke up from the bed. Her countenance was not all that good. What I heard was, “Daddy! Where are you going to?”
I turned. Lo and behold, it was our late sister, Esther, who served us in this Family, and who helped us a lot. I paused. I called, “Sister Esther!” She said, “Daddy! Where are you going?” I said, “I just want to ease Myself.”
She said, “Daddy, go back. The whole of this place is filled with faeces. They are very filthy.” I said, “There is no open room. Let Me go.” She said, “No! Do not go. Do not go. It is filthy.” I turned back, went back to the destination and the dream vanished.
When I dreamt a dream concerning Nwanefu, who died recently. My colleague and My friend. I told My wife about it. I do not know why each time I fell sick that is so serious, this will be happening.
So, after My encounter with him because I won the battle, there was a song that entered My heart.
Song: [I am wanted by the evil forces. I am wanted by the evil forces. They are trying to catch Me. They are trying to kill Me. But My God is able to give Me the victory. I must win this battle.] I stopped there.
Then I continued humming it until daybreak. I know I am being haunted and wanted by the evil forces [Evil men. Evil women]. They are lying in wait for THE SON OF MAN every day. But they have lost the battle. I say they have lost the battle.
This is because at the end of the day, I have reclined to My own apartment. My own home where Angels are now nurturing Me. I say, God’s Angels are now nurturing Me.
I HAVE EVEN CEASED FROM CARNAL LABOUR. IF I AM LABOURING NOW, IT IS SPIRITUAL LABOUR. FOR GOD HAS GIVEN CHARGE TO HIS ANGELS. REMEMBER ANGELS ARE HUMAN BEINGS, TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME ACCORDING TO HIS PROMISE.
That was how the Angels took care of all the prophets. When they get to the condition where I am now, God assigned Angels that will take care of them.
The jollof rice Elijah ate, who cooked it? Elijah was tired and was placing his head on a tree where he slept. He was very hungry.
The Bible said that when he woke up, he saw a plate of jollof rice placed there by the Angel. The Angel stood by the side and said, “Arise and eat for the journey is still too far.”
[5]And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. [6]And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. [7]And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. [1 kings 19:5 – 7 KJV]
Anywhere you make a stopover, an Angel of the Lord will be assigned. So, the Lord said He has assigned His Angels to keep watch over THE SON OF MAN.
Millions of Angels assigned to THE SON OF MAN as His escort, and as His providers. They are only waiting for instructions, “Go and do this. Go and do that.” And you see them going.
I AM SAYING THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME THE VICTORY. THIS IS MY OWN TESTIMONY. I AM HE THAT WAS DEAD AND I AM ALIVE FOREVERMORE. I HOLD THE KEYS OF BOTH HELL AND HEAVEN.
Revelation Chapter 1 verse 8. KJV 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
He that is with us is the Almighty. He can do all things. We are here with the Judge. We are here with He that holds the keys of hell and heaven.
Revelation Chapter 1 verse 8. Living Bible. 8 “I am the A and the Z, the Beginning and the Ending of all things,” says God, who is the Lord, the All Powerful One who is, and was, and is coming again!
Who has the keys to hell and heaven? Revelation 1 verse 18. KJV. 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead;… The second time He is introducing Himself.
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation Chapter 1 verse 18. Living Bible. “Don’t be afraid! Though I am the First and Last, the Living One who died, who is now alive forevermore, who has the keys of hell and death—don’t be afraid!
Amen! Do not be afraid. It is as clear as the day. He is here with us. We are no longer in doubt.
Revelation Chapter 1 verse 18. AMP. 18 And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).
Amen! So, this is the Man we must fear. This is the Man God has assigned to come and judge. And this is the Temple templing God. That is what made Him Christ. No more. No less.
Christ means the Saviour, the Messiah, the Anointed One. Just like we were read it in the book of Zephaniah. It says, look up. I say, look up and behold the Elect One. When you look up, you behold who? The Elect One. That is the one we are talking about.
So, this morning, My appeal to everybody that will hear My Voice today is to pause and think. Re-examine your conscience. Judge yourself. Do not say, God judge me. Tell yourself the naked truth if you want to be clothed with immortality.
I am not talking to all of you here alone. I am talking to the entire world of the Elect of God, for He that is here has come with the reward in His hands, to reward every man according as his works shall be.
For THE SON OF MAN shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. [Matthew 17:27 KJV]
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. [Revelation 22:12 KJV]
He is not going to give us a collective reward but individual reward.
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL REVELATION and YOUR PERSONAL CONVICTION THAT YOU ARE AMONG THE NUMBER THAT IS SERVING GOD, SELECTED, CONFIRMED AND APPROVED BY GOD.
YOU MUST HAVE IT AND NO MAN CAN EXPLAIN IT AWAY FROM YOU. IF YOU HAVE SUCH A CONVICTION THAT IS FRAGILE, I MEAN, YOU HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN CONVINCED.
CONVICTION BY GOD IS NOT FRAGILE. IT IS NOT SOMETHING ANYBODY CAN BREAK ANYHOW. IT IS STRONGER THAN THE STRONGEST METAL. IF MY FAITH IN HIM IS STRONG, IT IS NO LONGER FRAGILE.
I do not care the level of iron you will use to hit or the level of heat you will apply to it. It remains unhurt. It remains unchanged.
A CONVICTION THAT CHANGES IS NO CONVICTION. AND YOU CANNOT MISBEHAVE YOURSELF UNTIL YOUR CONVICTION HAS CHANGED.
THAT WAS WHY GOD SAID HE WILL WIPE AWAY FROM HIS PRESENCE THOSE THAT SERVED GOD BEFORE, BUT INSTEAD OF CONTINUING, THEY DREW BACK AND JOINED THE HEATHENS AND STARTED HAVING EVERYTHING IN COMMON WITH THE HEATHENS. GOD SAID HE IS GOING TO WIPE THEM OFF.
So, let us be very careful as we journey along. I do not want to go further. But be it known unto you that the God we are worshipping has appeared in human form.
The Judge of the whole earth is here with us already, and He judges without respect of persons. He does not know anything called familiarity or no familiarity or over familiarity. It is not with Him. He is only mindful of the Words that have proceeded out of His mouth and your obedience to those Words.
THAT IS WHY THE ONLY BRIBE YOU CAN GIVE GOD TO GAIN ENTRY INTO PARADISE, TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IS TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO HIS INSTRUCTIONS AND TO HIS WORDS REVEALED TO YOU IN YOUR OWN DAY.
For if He does not teach us, He will not blame us. If God had not taught us, will He blame us? So, when you do not teach them, do not blame them.
But what if after teaching us, we harden our hearts and decide to live the way we want because we think we have the power?
We may not know that we have He that is holding the key to hell and to death. He that can stop us along the way or stop us anywhere.
He that can take us to bed and refuse that we should see the light of another day; that is the Man we are having dealings with.
Somebody who can pay you a visit without your knowledge and became a part of your bedroom, became a part of your wall and then listened to all your conversations, and monitor you all round.
Is there anything secret before God? Even the things we have muted out in our hearts, they ring bell in the ears of the Almighty God.
So, this morning, let us first listen to the Sunday school teacher for 30 minutes. Maybe it will prepare us to pay attention to the Message for today. Thank you.
SUNDAY SCHOOL BY APOSTLE CHUKWUDI ODOEMENA MODERATED BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN
…THE SON OF MAN said, “Criticize Me if you can, for it is your right. You have the right of expression. It does not make you a devil.” What is more? THE SON OF MAN warned seriously that you should not show interest in the Faith or in what He is preaching until you are convinced. He went further to say, “Stop jumping up and down in the Fellowship as a sign that you have believed. Do great enquiry. First of all, enquire by asking very hard questions. And until He clears those questions beyond all reasonable doubts, do not sit down to worship with us.”

FOUR THINGS THAT MUST BE SETTLED BEFORE WORSHIP starts
Brethren, remain blessed. We thank God for this reviving exhortation we have gotten this morning. Truly, God loves us. Since last night, God has been preparing our minds and our hearts for today’s worship.
Actually, what God is telling us is true. Only if you believe it, will it work out well for you. You must have that your own personal conviction; your own personal revelation of who God is.
God told us that He is no more dealing with us collectively. He is now dealing with us as individuals, personally. Your own conviction about Him.
It is about how you take God and your conviction about who He is that will determine how you are going to take God’s Word. How you are seeing Him?
If you are still seeing Him as your mere brother, as your relation or as your father; If you are still seeing Him like that, you will be treating His word like that.
God has told us that the only bribe that we can give God to gain eternal life is total obedience to His word.
If you say you are convinced and you misbehave, God has told us that for one day, you were never convinced.
True conviction will be your watchword when you are convinced that He is the Person. It is like what we read in the Book of Revelation. That scripture touched me.
He said in Amplified version that He is the ever living one. He is the ever living One, the same yesterday, today and forever. Even our disobedience cannot change it. Whether we like it or not, He is the Person.
So, do you had that your own conviction? God told us last Sunday, Convinced and be concerned. If I am not convinced, there is no way I will show concern.
Now, to that conviction, what is your own conviction? Last night when we were studying the Epistle, God said that many are called but few are chosen. Only few will pass through that security gate; that narrow path.
If you do not have those qualities, that door must surely reject you at the end. The door must reject you.
God told us that an edifice cannot pass through the eye of a needle. Yes! If you are heavily laden with sin, can you pass through the narrow path?
YOU MUST BE FOCUSED ON YOUR TARGET BECAUSE THAT FOCUS YOU HAVE WILL MAKE YOU TO SHAPE YOUR LIFE ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD. IT WILL MAKE YOU NEVER TO VEER OFF.
It is only when you are backsliding in your heart and immediately, you start thinking of what you have left, “Oh, I am not enjoying this. I am not enjoying that.”
That is the only minute you are going to draw away from God and draw away from His blessings.
Remember, whatever you are going to enjoy from God, you are going to enjoy it when you obey God, when you obey His Words. So, let us be careful.
God explained everything very well in that Scripture. That you still see them coming to Fellowship. You still see them coming to Church, but their hearts are drawn away.
Last night we got the categories. And that we have [1] Sympathizers of the Faith, we have sympathizers of the word, [2] Hearers of the word. [3] Believers of the Faith. And then we have [4] Doers and real obedient people of the word.
Which category do you fall into? Do we just hear the Word and stop there? People who hear the Word, and they shout Amen with you too. They will shout Amen, Amen, Amen. And they stop there.
Are you in that category? Or are you among the real, obedient people of this Faith, which is what God is looking for?
God wants people that will be controlled by His Word. If you are not controlled by the Word of God; if your life is not organized by the Word of God, then you are not a true seed of God.
This is because God told us, “My sheep hear My Voice and they follow Me.”
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [John 10:27 KJV]
So, when you hear the Word of God and you do not follow that Word which you have received, that means you are not a part of God. You are not a true seed of God.
LEARN TO POSSESS YOUR VESSELS IN HONOUR Volume 1; Preached on Sunday 4th June, 2018. Page 56 verse 3.
3″Are You A Churchgoer or A True Worshipper of God?” And I gave them four things you must settle before you begin to worship God.
Four things! You must settle it as an individual. If you do not settle these four, you are worshipping in vain. Number one is CONVICTION.
Before you worship Him, you must be convinced. This is because if that conviction is not there, you are just playing pretense.
You are a churchgoer.
And whatever you are doing is manipulated.
He is a mocker. A real mocker.
It is pretense. God hates manipulation. You must be convinced. It is not because this person is doing it. You must have your own personal experience. That personal experience will help you to worship Him rightly.
4Number one is CONVICTION: Settle it. Are you convinced about the God that has been revealed in the midst of the Bride who is demanding implicit obedience to His Word and instructions?
Have you had that conviction, personally, and not collectively as a church? “Yes! We believe that He is the Son of Man. We believe that He is God. We believe it.”
What can you say is your own conviction? What do you say you believe? What is your testimony? Have you had any personal experience with Him?
Are you convinced that He is the true and only God? Are you convinced that He is the real One? Are you convinced? That is number one.
You must have that conviction before you must show concern, or before you must worship God rightly.
So, do not joke with conviction. Do not joke with revelation. If not, the Word of God which is our standard will place you in the category you belong to.
5The moment you are convinced, then cometh COMMITMENT. Commitment means becoming a partner.
In business, you must be committed. If you do not commit money, you are not entitled to financial reward. You just commit something before you expect a reward.
You must obey God before you expect that reward from God. You must be a faithful steward. You must be a faithful servant to God before you expect your reward, knowing that He is the One that was given the full reward right from the creation of the world.
Nothing was given to Him now. He had it in His hands right from the creation of the world.
So, He has called us. And to us, He gave us our personal ministries as stewards. If you do not make full proof of it, then He will also give you your reward. He has every reward in His hands.
6Many are here without having any commitment.
Why do they not have that commitment? It is because, for one day, they were not convinced. They were not convinced.
While some are here because they have committed a lot. The level of investment you have made in your business will determine how jealously you will guard the business against failure.
This is because you have committed something great, even your life. The two C’s: CONVICTION and COMMITMENT.
7What have you committee in this Ministry, for which cause you will never live to see the Ministry crumble or be blamed in your hand?
Pure truth. Is it not because of commitment people have in their denominations that is making it increasingly impossible for them to come out?
For they have committed their assets. They have invested a lot. They will tell you, “This Message is truth, but look at our level of our investment in the denomination where we are, for we were born into it. We grew up in it over the years. Coming out means we are going to forfeit it.”
But they do not realize that the Bible said that we must forfeit all things for the sake of Christ.
[11]And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. [Luke 5:11 KJV]
St Paul forfeited everything, including his personal pride, personal ego. He forfeited even his profession and became a tent maker. For he knew he would not practice law without telling lies, and without compromising.
So, his belief affected his profession. He had to resign and then became a tent maker. For the Bible said he was a tent maker by occupation. Yet, a learned fellow. Commitment!
[1]After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; [2]and found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome,) and came unto them. [3]And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: (for by their occupation they were tentmakers.) [Acts 18:1 – 3 KJV]
WHEN YOU HAVE COMMITTED NOTHING, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PROTECT. WHEREVER YOU HAVE COMMITTED YOUR WEALTH, THERE YOU HAVE VESTED INTEREST. TRUE OR FALSE?
Even the Lord Jesus highlighted it very well. He said, wherever a man’s treasure is, there his heart is. If your treasure is in the world, your heart will always be in the world.
[21]For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. [Matthew 6:21 KJV]
I told you, salvation must cost us something. Salvation must cost us something. What is it going to cost you?
Those things that charm you most, you must forgo all for Christ’s sake. Because of the excellency that is in Christ, you will refuse to continue with your old way of life.
What have you committed in this Ministry, for which cause you will never live to see the Ministry crumble or be blamed in your hand?
As a true steward; as a good steward, what have you committed? Remember that parable in the Bible, when the master gave money to his stewards and travelled. He left, but one buried the money, some lavished the money and one invested.
When the master asked for the money, this one said “let me go and bring it where I buried it so that I will give it to you back intact.” He brought his own. The other one said he has finished it. Another person brought his own and the gains he made on it. [Matthew 25:14 – 30 KJV]
What have you invested in this Ministry? What have you committed in this Ministry for which cause you will never see this Ministry crumble in your hand?
Challenge yourself now. Map out a plan for yourself. Say what you want to be. Map out a plan on how to get there. Be strict in its observance. Focus your attention there no matter the opposition; No matter the obstacle, do not draw back. …
COMMITMENT (The Secret of Achieving Greatness); Preached on Sunday 14th February 2010 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 64 vs. 50

EVERY MAN MUST GO THE WAY HE IS ORDAINED BY THE SON OF MAN
Now, when you settle this commitment, it comes to DEDICATION. A man that has committed money into the business is always there 24 hours.
Whether customer is there or not, he is there, for he does not know the hour the customer will come. Come rain, come sunshine, he is there.
Because he is dedicated, if he hears that there is fire outbreak, even around that place, no matter the time, he is running there because he is dedicated. Why? He has committed something.
Are you dedicated to the Faith because of what you have committed? It is a pertinent question.
Is there anything much more precious to you than your life? If you have committed your life into the hands of Christ through the Gospel you have received, will you joke with it?
Seeing this is the gospel truth, your obedience to the gospel truth signifies where you are heading to. It then means your life is tied to the Faith. Your eternity is tied to this Faith. True or false?
Some think it is only the Son of Man that is involved. You are equally involved, for you have heard from Me and what is My aim? To turn you away from darkness to light.
And to turn you away from idol to God, that you may receive forgiveness of sin and have an inheritance alongside with those that are sanctified by the Faith of Christ that is in Me; the only place you can have the hope of eternal life.
So, brethren you see how we started it. You must be convinced about this Faith. Then, commitment. And then, dedication.
Are you dedicated to the Faith because of what you have committed? You have even committed the keeping of your soul in well doing.
You have committed everything, Your today and your future. Thus, you must be dedicated. Otherwise, it will not yield any dividend.
Sure! Many have not committed anything. These are churchgoers. Some of them are sympathizers of the Faith, mourners of the Faith.
They have not committed anything. Why? From the beginning, they were not convinced. They never believed that they are in the right place. They never believed that this Gospel is enough to save them.
Since they did not believe, there is no need talking about commitment. Since they did not commit anything, they have nothing to protect. That is why they behave anyhow.
They have no reputation to protect. They have no integrity to protect. They are being carried about by sentiments. Am I making sense? Check it very well.
Anybody that is not convinced, committed, dedicated, the character will reflect it immediately. No matter how you warn the person against danger, he will never pay heed.
No matter the level of instruction, he will never pay heed because he or she can never behold the Majesty of the Lord, for his life is full of worldliness. Social life! Socialism!
This is because they have a target, “Until I get to this height in evil, I will not come back.” Their eyes are full of evil and full of lust of all manners.
Nobody can bridle them. In the open air, in the hidden places, they are there. They have lost all feeling of shame. They do not even reason before they act.
They do not even weigh the future consequences, for who will embarrass them? Who are they afraid of? You can only be afraid of somebody if you are convinced of Who He is and what He can do to you.
Many do not even believe that God exists. When you do not believe that God exists, you can never believe that God has an all-seeing eye that is monitoring all of us, seeing all of us no matter where we are and whatever we are doing.
Such people do not believe in God’s judgment. Whatever we are teaching, to them, we are merely reading histories and theories. They are mere stories.
This is because there is nothing in them that can attract the Word. A sure sign that they do not belong to God.
The reason why they cannot hear and understand is because they are not of My sheep. For My sheep heareth My Voice and they follow Me. They [the unbelievers] follow strangers. They follow heathens because that is where they are ordained to go.
But they are merely in our midst because of marriage or birth by accident. Accident of birth will bring them in. That will never make them to be sons and daughters of God. They will still go where they belong to.
That is why, when the Word is going forth, it calls for self-re-examination. What you are manifesting? What is going on in you? What your desire has always been? What has been attracting your real attention?
That which gives you sleepless nights until you do it; That which gives you joy while practicing it; That is exactly where you are ordained to. Even if God will says, “I am the Almighty God. Stop it!”, it is pure waste of time. Am I making sense?
Who can stop the devil from committing sin? Can anybody stop the devil from committing sin? If he stops, who then will commit it?
So it is with the devil’s children. You cannot stop them because that is their nature.
Will they go to church? Yes. But they will never believe anything that is taught there. That is why God said, watch out for such people. And do what? Avoid them.
Moreso, when you have given them the Word test and they are failing in every aspect. Every aspect of the Word of God that comes to them, they will wave it aside. It does not concern them.
So, giving them the Word of God means disturbing their peace.
This is one of the reasons God decided to send them back to their homes, to go and live the way they want and behave the way they want. No intruder. Nobody is coming into your home again to monitor you.
But these foolish people that do not believe that God exists can never believe that God is in their homes, watching them.
That is why God will judge both those things that have been made manifest and the secret things which they think nobody will know.
But God will show them that He is the Almighty by waiting for them and catching them red-handed where they will not wriggle out. And they dare not make it public. Why is it? God will do it so that they will know that God knows who they are. Is it not true?
IF GOD DOES NOT REVEAL YOUR SECRET, CATCH YOU, YOU WILL NOT KNOW THAT GOD KNOWS WHO YOU ARE.
No matter the way you have been doing it, denying, one day, God will catch you, and He will say, “My friend, what are you doing now? Have you not been denying Me? Have you not been saying over your dead body with the mouth because nobody has caught you?”
Amen! God told us last Sunday that a man cannot have rest until he fulfils that which he has been ordained to. You can never have rest until you fulfill that which you are ordained to.
Anything that you are ordained to, there is no way your heart will rest until you have fulfilled it. Whether you are ordained to do evil or ordained to do good.
But can a seed of God be ordained to do evil? Does a seed of God practice sin or make practice with evil? But sin is pleasure to one that is destitute of the truth.
One who does not have the spirit of Christ, he is the one that makes daily practice of sin. It gives him joy.
Even if you rebuke him, he will laugh at you. I am telling you the whole truth. Because he is evil. That is why we give them the word of God.
WHOEVER THAT HEARS THE WORD OF GOD AND TURN AWAY FROM HIS EVIL WAYS, THAT IS A SEED OF GOD, FOR A SEED OF GOD DOES NOT CONTINUE IN SIN, FOR THE SEED OF GOD ABIDETH IN HIM.
[9]Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. [1 John 3:9]
So, you will never have rest until you have fulfilled that which you have been ordained to.
I give an example of one my friends. a boy in the school, who spent 3 months in the military cell because of one crime he committed. They transferred him to the police cell, that is the prison where he spent 4 months. A total of 7 months.
He came out. After 2 months again he went back to the prison again for another crime he committed, because that is where he is ordained to. That is his nature, which is hearing the voice of his father the devil and following him.
Even when you will tell them the truth, they will laugh at you. You will tell the person that what he is doing is bad, he will say, “Okay, no problem. Am I the only one?”
Tomorrow, the person will go back. Why? Because that is where his destiny has been ordained to.
I hope you are understanding what we are saying? An Igbo adage says that the consequences of jumping into the water as it is with lizard, cannot never the same for the rat.
That person already knows where he is heading to. He knows whose interest he is serving. He knows he is ordained to continue in evil. That he has no part in the life that Christ gives.
So, this is the one that can now entice you and lure you out. I hope I am making sense?
But if you dare go out with him, God will not save you. He has nobody that will rebuke him rather the devil will encourage him to continue.
That is why when he [the evil one] comes out of prison, he will commit another. he continues that way until the day he will die. What is he doing? He is causing sorrows and pains to many. I hope I am making sense?
But to you, a seed of God, if you dare follow him, you are doomed. You will be arrested by God and you have a question to answer.
What have you done? You will close your mouth like Adam and Eve. It then means you have already jeopardized your eternal destiny in the hand of God. This race to eternal life you embarked on, you have jeopardized it.
That is why, when you sin against God, you will be forgiven. You sin against the Lord Jesus Christ, being His son, you will be forgiven. You sin against the Prophets, you will be forgiven.
But whenever the Son of Man being the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Ghost, will be on the scene, whoever that sins against Him has sealed his eternal doom. No room for forgiveness. He will just mark you absent and place you where you belong to. Period!
You may have your reasons to give, but will He accept any? Will he consider it? You look at His face, no change. His countenance, friendly. He will even encourage you more. He can tell you, “All is well. No problem. I will set you free.”
If THE SON OF MAN will set you free, you are free indeed. That is if He will. If THE SON OF MAN will set you free, you will be free indeed. But has He set you free? Has He done that? “If” is conditional,…
I told you. I am going to reveal to you this morning why I speak to you with every amount of Heavenly Authority. Whatever you want to call it, call it. If you want to call it boast, call it boast. My boast in Christ is not an empty boast. It is not an empty boast. I know where I am standing.
HOW DO YOU KNOW GOD? Preached on 5th April, 1997 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 66 vs. 14

BE YE SEPARATE
BY THE SON OF MAN
If THE SON OF MAN will tell you go that you are discharged and acquitted, you are guiltless. If He will tell you that, no more! Heaven and earth will not condemn you. The Almighty will not condemn you.
That is why the Almighty veiled Himself in Him to make you see the Almighty in human form, Who has the power to sentence you to hell or to heaven.
He has the power to keep you alive. He has the power to stifle your breathe even as I am talking now. That is the end. He has the key of hell and of death.
The same way, He has the keys of hell and of heaven, because thou art Peter, upon this rock I will build my Church. And the kingdom of hell will never prevail against it.
Behold, I give you the keys of heaven and of hell, any sin you forgive here, shall be forgiven in heaven, any one you say you will never forgive, till eternity, nobody will ever forgive it.
[18]And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. [19]And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. [Matthew 16:18-19]
And this authority is conferred to no other person but THE SON OF MAN, who is the judge of the living and the dead.
Where will you run to, if after hearing His voice, you flagrantly decided to disobey?
Have you seen why the Lord Himself, the God Almighty, the Supreme Deity, knowing that He is coming into a sinful world, first of all, selected Him with a seal of the Elect, and decided to input everlasting righteousness on Him so that His righteousness will be from everlasting to everlasting and also conferred upon Him the authority over all flesh to handle as He wishes; gave Him the authority to set free, to make alive, and also to kill.
Is it not a Supreme Authority? Gave Him absolute authority in heaven and on earth. All authority in heaven and on earth have been conferred unto Me. And then whoever He wants to work with Me, He selects. He places a seal upon him for he cannot work alone.
He will also confer him with similar authority. With some restrictions that when they encounter difficulties, they will come back to Me.
This is because if He will confer upon them all that makes Him God, it then means many Gods will appear.
If Moses had given the seventy elders all that were in Moses, that made him Moses, he would not have controlled the situation, for too many Moseses would have appeared. That was why he gave them a little of his spirits. Is it not true?
[24]And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle. [25]And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders : and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. [Numbers 11:24 – 24 KJV]
Of course, you can see it in The Great Sermon. I documented it long time ago that when you are bragging, I know what I will do.
I will remove the Spirit from you and the world will see you as you were before. And I will go further to give you further anointing to make you be a beast.
I HAVE ALREADY MADE UP MY MIND TO EXPOSE A LOT OF MEN AND WOMEN FROM NOW. I KNOW WHAT I HAVE INTENDED DOING. AND I WILL DO IT.
I WILL MAKE THEM TO GO MAD AND NAKED ON THE STREETS. MEN THAT KNEW THEM AS DAUGHTERS OF GOD, DAUGHTERS OF ZION, BROTHERS OF CHRIST, BROTHERS OF THIS AND THAT, MEN OF GOD, I WILL MAKE THEM LOSE THEIR SENSES OF REASONING FROM NOW.
THEIR WOMEN WILL PLAY HARLOTRY ON THE STREETS. THEIR MEN WILL BE ROBBERS OF ALL KINDS AND NOT ROBBERS IN THE SECRET. ROBBERS IN THE OPEN PLACES SO THAT THE WORLD WILL SEE.
THEY WILL BE DOGS ON THE STREETS. THEY WILL BE MOVING AND ROAMING THE STREETS TOGETHER WITH THE HEATHENS, FOR THEY WILL LOSE EVERYTHING THEY COLLECTED FROM GOD. AND I WILL DENY THEM OF ALL. I WILL TAKE ALL BACK.
WATCH WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN FROM NOW. THAT IS HOW I AM GOING TO CONCLUDE THE JUDGEMENT IN THE BRIDE. YES! SO THAT THEY WILL BE A CYNOSURE TO ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH AS THE WORST BLASPHEMERS.
PEOPLE THAT KNEW THEM BEFORE WILL SAY IN UTTER SURPRISE, “SO THESE PEOPLE ARE LIKE THIS? HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN? SO THIS MAN CAN DO THIS? BUT I KNEW HIM TO BE A MAN OF GOD. SO THIS WOMAN I THOUGHT IS VIRTUOUS CAN DO THIS?”
AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT I TAKE AWAY SHAMEFACEDNESS FROM ALL OF THEM SO THAT THEY WILL NEVER FEEL ASHAMED. THEY WILL HAVE STRAIGHT FACES.
AFTER EXPOSING ALL OF THEM, NOBODY WILL FIND FAULT WITH THE SON OF MAN AGAIN. NOBODY WILL QUERY THE SON OF MAN FOR DROPPING THEM.
IT HAS ALREADY STARTED. I SAY, IT HAS ALREADY STARTED. AND NO MATTER HOW THEY WILL TRY TO RESTRAIN THEMSELVES FROM THAT, THEY WILL NOT SUCCEED.
What they will be doing is relocating. They will be relocating from where they are known to where they are not known.
And when they get to that place where they are not known, they will meet somebody who knows them, For God will be there waiting, so that they will know that God has already set them aside for hell because they were chained, now imprisoned in their homes.
Why are we in our homes? They will be operating from their homes, and not from the congregation, both man and woman.
Every operation will start in their homes, even their children. Their wildlife will begin from their homes. They will be operating, and nobody can query anybody again.
THE TIME FOR EXCOMMUNICATION IS OVER. Can you excommunicate somebody who is worshipping in his house? Am I making sense?
Where are you excommunicating him to? He is worshipping in his house, and I am worshipping in My house. Everybody worshipping in his or her own way. Any revelation he has is what he will be practicing.
THAT IS WHY NOW, GOD HAS DECIDED TO FINISH THE JUDGEMENT WITH THE BRIDE BETWEEN NOW AND AUGUST 31ST THIS YEAR.
WHOEVER THAT IS NOT PUBLICLY EXPOSED FROM NOW TILL AUGUST 31ST, NO MATTER HOW THE PERSON SUPPRESSES HIS OR HER FEELINGS, EFFORTS AND SO ON, NO MATTER THE MANIPULATIONS OF THAT FEELINGS, YOU CANNOT OUTSMART GOD.
WHOEVER THAT IS NOT EXPOSED, MAN AND WOMAN, YOUNG AND OLD, BETWEEN NOW AND 31ST AUGUST, NUMBER THAT PERSON AS ONE OF THE ELECT, AND THEN TREAT HIM FAIRLY.
THIS IS BECAUSE I AM GOING TO HARDEN THE HEARTS OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE I HAVE ALREADY MARKED ASTERISKS, FOR THEY HAVE LAUGHED AT GOD AND HIS WORD FOR TOO LONG.
THEY HAVE MOCKED THE CHILDREN OF GOD FOR TOO LONG. IN SHORT, THEY HAVE BLASPHEMED THIS FAITH FOR TOO LONG. Amen!
I like to say that God gave us a Message titled, “the cup of the Amorite is full.” The moment the cup of the Amorite is full, what will happen? Just watch out! Have I ever threatened without carrying it out?
Now I have said it, what do you do? Watch out! You will now begin to see arrests and bailouts. You will be hearing, “He is arrested. She is arrested. She is detained. He is detained.”
You will be hearing many things. No matter how they will try to conceal it and bail their children or their wives or their husbands secretly, it must come to the Son of Man.
Hear me very well. Open your ears, look up to the sky, see whether you can behold the Elect One who has come with judgement in His hands. Thank you!
Apostle Chukwudi: Amen! Brethren, the mouth of the Lord has spoken. You see why we should be careful. God has been preparing our hearts. He gave us the Message, Fear God
Do not fear that person that can hurt your flesh, but fear that person that can torment this flesh now, stifle that life out of you and still torment your soul in hell fire.
[28]And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [Matthew 10:28 KJV]
How I wish we have Apostles who are vast with these Scriptures. Do not worry. I am coming with a teaching any time from now, when I regain myself fully. And I will show you that all I have said here are contained in the Holy Scriptures.
A time came when some tribes in Israel decided to walk blasphemously before God, both their men and their women.
The Bible said, “God gave their women over to prostitution to play harlotry. Is it not scriptural?
[9]The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them? [10]Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for everyone from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. [11]For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. [Jeremiah 8:9 – 11 KJV]
[17]Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line ; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land. [Amos 7:17]
[2]Here is the first message:
The Lord said to Hosea, “Go and marry a girl who is a prostitute, so that some of her children will be born to you from other men. This will illustrate the way my people have been untrue to me, committing open adultery against me by worshiping other gods.” [Hosea 1:2 LB]
He gave their men the power to practice all kinds of vices. So that by reproaching the name of God among the heathens, God will now have a full power, evidence against them to sentence them as guilty. I will show you that in the book of Hosea and in the book of Amos.
That is why God even told Hosea that He [The Almighty] is permitting him to go and marry a notorious harlot so as to show Israel that they have been playing harlotry so that other people, strangers, heathens, will now raise children for a prophet.
So that those that are not children of God; those who are not Jews will now father the children born to a prophet.
It was not to punish Hosea, but to use this harlot that attached herself to the prophet to judge the whole of Israel and to show them that they have been playing harlotry.
Why? They left the true God and aligned with the heathen women. A time came when the heathens became the attraction of God’s children – both men and women.
They started entangling themselves anyhow. Did God leave them unpunished? Did He leave them unpunished? We better pay attention, for He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
If He said, “Come out from among them” in the Old Testament, did He not repeat it over and over in the New Testament? Did He say continue with them or have everything in common with them?
[11]For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, [12]Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. [Isaiah 8:11 – 12 KJV]
[17]Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, [18]and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. [2 Corinthians 6:17 – 18 KJV]
