JUSTIFY YOUR DIGNIFIED INCLUSION IN ADAM’S RIGHTEOUS DESCENDANTS VOLUME 2 [The first book of Adam and Eve] ON Sunday, 20th June 2021 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN THE ALPHA AND OMEGA
But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham My friend, 9You whom I [the Lord] have taken from the ends of the earth and have called from the corners of it, and said to you, You are My servant–I have chosen you and not cast you off [even though you are exiled]. 10Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice. 11Behold, all they who are enraged and inflamed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; they who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. 12You shall seek those who contend with you but shall not find them; they who war against you shall be as nothing, as nothing at all. 13For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you!
Isaiah 41:13 – 18 AMP
He decided to make us holy in His own eyes without a single fault. In other words, He that will justify you is with you. Once He has justifies you, you are justified. That is why He pushed it this way: “If the Son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed.” I remembered the prophecy we heard those days, that the Justifier of the Gentiles is on the scene, and the Destroyer of the Gentiles is on the scene also. It is a prophecy. He that will justify the Gentiles is here.
GOD HAS COUNTED ME WORTHY, PUTTING ME INTO THIS MINISTRY; Preached on Sunday 13th August, 2000 Pg. 71 vs. 7 – 8 BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN “THE ROCK OF AGES”
1
THERE MUST BE A NEW KING
Go with Me to the Book of Isaiah the Prophet, chapter eleven, from verse 10. Living Bible. Follow Me.
2. If I mention your name, I will not erase it. And whatever I will say attached to it will follow you. This is why you must follow Me strictly now. You are all eating. Nobody is hungry.
3. Isaiah 11:10 – 13, Living Bible. [10]In that day HE WHO CREATED THE ROYAL DYNASTY OF DAVID… Which is endless; which will never be taken away till the end of the world as promised by God in the Covenant of peace.
4. …will be a banner of salvation to all the world. The nations will rally to Him, for the land where He lives will be a glorious place.
5. So, He will live in the land. And that land where He shall live shall be called a glorious place. Another portion.
6. [11]At that time the Lord will bring back a remnant of his people… The LORD will restore a remnant of His people ….for the second time, returning them to the land of Israel from Assyria,… Note! That is Syria.
7. …Upper and Lower Egypt,… Pay attention! North and South Africa. Upper and lower Egypt means North and South Africa. If I say upper and lower Nigeria, I mean North and South of Nigeria. If I say upper and lower Sudan, I mean North and South Sudan. Upper and lower Cameroun means North and South Cameroun. Upper and lower America means North America and South America. Upper and lower Germany means Eastern Germany and Western Germany. Am I making sense at all? Nigeria is in the lower Africa. Did you get the Message? Egypt is upper. Nigeria is lower. That is why Nigeria is in the lower Niger Basin. Did you get the Message?
8. The people of God crossed from Egypt to Canaan. When they were coming, they followed the Suez Canal and then entered the Red Sea. The Red Sea is the horn of Africa.
9. The Red Sea is the sea that enters into Egypt, Sudan, down to East Africa; Ethiopia and proceeded because Ethiopia is the horn of Africa. The separating line there is the Red Sea.
10. The Upper Sea is the Mediterranean Sea where you get the Garden of Eden. I will show you there, for the Garden of Eden from where they were driven away is located in Syria which spanned up to Palestine where Jesus was born.
11. I will show you something, though you know this truth. Now, those people migrated to the lower Africa. Upper and lower Africa.
12. So Nigeria is one of the jungles in Africa. And the remotest part of Nigeria cannot be any other place than where THE SON OF MAN was selected, picked and chosen for this work. True or false?
13. [11]At that time the Lord will bring back a remnant of his people for the second time, returning them to the land of Israel from Assyria, Upper and Lower Egypt, Ethiopia, Elam,… Have you heard it now? Ethiopia. Elam. …Babylonia, Hamath, and all the distant coastal lands.
14. [12]HE WILL RAISE A FLAG AMONG THE NATIONS FOR THEM TO RALLY TO; he will gather the scattered Israelites from the ends of the earth.
15. [13]Then at last the jealousy between Israel and Judah will end; they will not fight each other anymore. Amen! A flag means a SIGN; a SYMBOL.
16. Isaiah 11:10 – 13, Amplified version. 10And it shall be in that day that the Root of Jesse shall stand as a signal for the peoples; of Him shall the nations inquire and seek knowledge,… Sure!!! …and His dwelling shall be glory [His rest glorious]!
17. 11And in that day the Lord shall again lift up His hand a second time… Sure!!! In his day, when that “A Root from Jesse” will be here for the second time, not the first time.
18. 11And in that day the Lord shall again lift up His hand a second time to recover (acquire and deliver) the remnant of His people which is left, from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Pathros, from Ethiopia, from Elam [in Persia], from Shinar [Babylonia], from Hamath [in Upper Syria], and from the countries bordering on the [Mediterranean] Sea.
19. 12AND HE WILL RAISE UP A SIGNAL FOR THE NATIONS and will assemble the outcasts of Israel and will gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
20. Hear me very well. Even if the deaf will be here, he will hear Me. He will understand Me.
21. He did it before. He did not finish it. The second time, He will appear, a Root of Jesse; a remnant.
22. 10A day is coming when THE NEW KING from the royal line of David will be A SYMBOL TO THE NATIONS. …
23. A new King! Was Jesus a king? They wanted to make Him king, but he shunned it. He was a Prince. There MUST be a new King that was in the making.
24. 15When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. [John 6:15 KJV]
25. “Preach to them and say, “The kingdom of God is at hand.”” Was it not the preaching of Jesus Christ? Was it not the preaching of the Apostles?
26. …They will gather in the city and give Him honour. 11WHEN THAT DAY COMES,… FUTURE! …the LORD will once again use his power and bring back home those of His people who are left in Assyria and Egypt, in the lands of Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, and Hamath, and in the coastlands and on the islands of the sea.
27. The LORD will raise a Signal Flag to show the nations that He is gathering together again the scattered people of Israel Amen! and Judah and bringing them back from the four corners of the earth. Amen!
28. You see them coming in eagles wings again.
29. King James version. Let the deaf hear what is being said. Isaiah 11:10 – 12. 10And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
30. 11And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
31. 12And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
32. 13The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, Amen! and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Alleluia! Ephraim shall not envy Judah,… That is the gentiles. and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. Amen and Amen!
33. Be seated. Are you with Me at all? Let us ride on. From the very official beginning, it behooveth one that was there, after thorough investigations to come up with the wholesome truth, having one aim:
34. To guide you against error and to give you security from becoming victims of the devil’s trickery, for the man of sin will come by trickery and trick the hearts of many people away.
35. Through mighty signs and wonders which the Patriarchs called apparitions, he will lead many astray.
36. But the Word will be sent here in the last days. The Word that formed Adam and Eve; The Word that created Adam and Eve will be here on earth again to restore them and their righteous descendants back to the lost glory which is Eden.
37. I have been telling you times without number that restoration or salvation; they are all incomplete until man is restored to the Garden from where he was chased away.
38. If you have not seen yourself in Paradise, rejoice not. Rejoice now for you have discovered your ancestral lineage. That is, if you have discovered it.
39. Now, behave right to enable you be declared righteous. You can come from the righteous ancestor, but your character and your attitude will mark you out like Absalom; like Hophni and Phinehas. I hope you are hearing Me.
40. My topic of exhortation is, JUSTIFY YOUR INCLUSION IN ADAM’S RIGHTEOUS DESCENDANTS. Justify your inclusion, not ordinary inclusion.
41. JUSTIFY YOUR DIGNIFIED INCLUSION IN ADAM’S RIGHTEOUS DESCENDANTS.
42. They are the descendants that will receive the grace of God which the Bible called redeeming grace, which God has given to Adam’s race.
43. SONG: [When hoary time shall pass away, And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall; When men who here refuse to pray, On rocks and hill and mountains call; God’s love, so sure, shall still endure, All measureless and strong; REDEEMING GRACE TO ADAM’S RACE, THE SAINT’ AND ANGELS’ SONG.
44. Oh, love God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure, The saints and angels song.]
45. Having built this background, pay attention. I know you are expecting something to come. I will complete this background with this little piece I have here, after which I will open the Ancient manuscript, believing that I have prepared your hearts and I have watered the ground.
46. If I plant a seed now, it can germinate and produce the right fruit. Is it not true? Your hearts have been made ready. Are you ready? I invite our brother and our son Chiemelie to the pulpit to read this excerpt there first.
47. Forget about the person God used. Read it. [YOU MUST BE FIRMLY, DEEPLY ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN CHRIST, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA by Bishop Joe Ukpong]
He gave some believing hearts to believe the Truth and He gave some unbelieving heart to believe lies for the world lieth in wickedness. Who did this selection? The Almighty God! Who included you in the number? The Almighty God! I only appeared to show you who you are and then for you to know who your God is. I came to introduce Myself, not to the world, but to My own for My sheep must surely recognize Me. My stature may change, everything in Me may change, but My Voice remaineth the same from generation to generation. That is the unchangeable thing in a human being.
FORGET NOT WHAT YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN PART 2; Preached on Sunday 6th August 2017; Pg. 21 vs. 3 – 4 by APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF
MAN “THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE”

AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING, SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END [1]
Be seated. By My time, it is 12 noon. The end of Sunday School. How I wish that at the end of the day, we shift our record so that many things will follow. Or leave it there.
2. We give God the praise for giving us Himself; Giving us Himself; God volunteering to identify with mortal men. And we happen to be in the number that will recognize and accept Him, for too many people are blind to what is happening.
3. Just like the troubles that are upon the earth. Many are blind. They are attributing it to one thing or the other. Some are proffering remedies, while some think it will end maybe this year or next year.
4. The more the remedies are coming, the worse the problem becomes. It is escalating, for it is a global phenomenon, promised by God and He is directing it the way He wants. Amen!
5. WE ARE GLAD THAT WE ARE THE BELOVED OF THE FATHER, CHOSEN FOR SALVATION AND NOT FOR HELLFIRE; NOT TO OBTAIN HIS WRATH.
6. I want to give you tonic this afternoon. You can call what I am going to give you “Lunch.” But before I give you this, I want to ask this question.
7. FROM THE WAY THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN YOU AND AROUND YOU, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TRACE YOUR OWN ANCESTRAL ORIGIN? YOUR ANCESTRAL GENEALOGY? I MEAN THE LINEAGE FROM WHERE YOU THINK YOU PROCEEDED.
8. IS IT FROM THE RIGHTEOUS DESCENDANT OR THE UNRIGHTEOUS? WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOU AND WHAT YOU ARE MANIFESTING SHOWS THE EVIDENCE.
9. There were people in the days of Jesus Christ who claimed they were descendants of Abraham, but the LORD Jesus proved them wrong by their doings.
10. The LORD Jesus proved all of them wrong, for they were strangers that were mingling with the people of God. They have been there with them for too long, and they started claiming what they were not.
11. But the LORD Jesus proved them wrong and said, “If you were of your father Abraham, you would not be behaving the way you are behaving towards Me and other people. You would not take delight in living in error. You would not be disobedient to God’s instructions.
12. And then you will be bragging when you are living the lives of disobedience. You would not be cruel. You would not be wicked, for these were not the qualities of your father Abraham who saw My day and rejoiced.
13. If you were from Abraham, you would have been rejoicing more than Abraham, for embracing Me live, for he [Abraham] saw My day and spoke about Me.
14. Why are you not believing Me? Why do you carry stones to kill Me? Why do you label Me your enemy? Why is it that My Words, you cannot obey? Why is it that My Words, you cannot follow. Why is it that My instructions are very hard for you to implement?
15. It is because you are of your father, the devil. You proceeded from the lineage of Cain, who was the first son of Lucifer.”
16. 39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
17. 40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
18. 41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
19. 42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
20. 43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
21. 44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. [John 8:39 – 44 KJV]
22. 56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. [John 8:56 KJV]
23. We will see it. The first son of Lucifer was Cain. And through marriage and having children, Cain raised descendants from where a good number of us who are violating God’s ways of life emanated from and they are mingling with us.
24. THAT IS WHY, IN EVERY GENERATION, GOD’S PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE MINORITY. MANY ARE CALLED. FEW ARE CHOSEN.
25. No matter how you try to live that life, you cannot succeed because it is not your nature. You never proceeded from the righteous lineage. So, you will find it difficult. It will be a struggle.
26. The sheep can never struggle to produce wool. Whether the sheep is alive or dead, wool is there.
27. If the owner of the flock will come and announce to the sheep [the flock], “I want to come your way next week, and I want you to surrender hides and skin to me when I come”, no sheep will run helter-skelter on how to manufacture it, lest the owner will come and be disappointed.
28. All you have to do is to say, “Amen LORD!” This is because when he comes, the sheep will produce what the sheep is made up of, which is hides and skin. Wool is there. Amen!
29. SONG: [In life or in death, He will still be my God. In life or in death, He will still be my God. Whosoever the LORD loves, He will love him forever. In life or in death, He will still be my God.]
30. If you watch the Scriptures in John chapter 13 from verse 1, “Jesus, having loved His own that are in the world, He loved them forever; till the end.”
31. 1Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, HAVING LOVED HIS OWN WHICH WERE IN THE WORLD, HE LOVED THEM UNTO THE END. [John 13:1 KJV]
32. Jesus, having loved His own; Jesus Christ; the Messiah. He said, “I am not praying for the world. I am praying for My own. Although they are in the world, they are not a part of this world. Sanctify them by Thy Word, for Thy Word is truth. While I was with them, I gave them Thy Word. And they believed that Thou hast sent Me. I kept them together in Your Name. I lost nobody except the son of perdition that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
33. 8For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
34. 9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
35. 11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
36. 12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
37. 13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
38. 15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 16Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. [John 17:8 – 16 KJV]
39. YOU ARE EITHER A CHILD OF GOD OR A CHILD OF PERDITION. TODAY, WE HAVE CHILDREN OF PERDITION.
40. That is why God said we should be careful that we do not mingle with people of disobedience, for there is a spirit that worketh among the children of disobedience wherein the devil was disobedient from the very beginning.
41. 1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. [Ephesians 2:1 – 3 KJV]
42. Always querying God. Always looking for excuses and answers to give to prove that he was not doing wrong. A liar from the beginning. Be very careful.
43. I am revealing all these things so that by your characteristics, you will know your descent, for Christ is identified by His characteristics. The devil is also identified by His own characteristics. One differs from the other. Am I making sense?
44. Now, let Me show you the perfect picture of the Kingdom where you are going to.
45. The Book of Isaiah chapter eleven from verse one to nine. Amplified version. 1AND THERE shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse [David’s father],… What? Take note! David’s Father.
46. Nobody fell down from the moon. In time past we were thinking that David was a man who just came down from somewhere, while Jerusalem was in heaven.
47. 1AND THERE shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse [David’s father], and a Branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit.
48. 2And the SPIRIT OF THE LORD shall rest upon Him– [1] THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND [2] UNDERSTANDING, [3] THE SPIRIT OF COUNSEL AND [4] MIGHT, [5] THE SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE AND [6] OF THE REVERENTIAL AND [7] OBEDIENT FEAR OF THE LORD— Amen!
49. Rewind and start all over, so that we can now begin to access the quality of the Personality we are having dealings with; whether He bestowed upon Him what he said he will bestow upon all the Prophets.
50. Check very well! I am taking you into the holistic truth so that you do not believe anyhow. This is because the Message has always said, “Make sure! Make sure! Make sure you are grounded. You must be grounded; Deeply rooted and grounded in Christ Who is the truth, and He is the life, Apostle Peter Odoemena [Hallowed Be His Name].”
From the time you were born till today, you have been hearing about God and you have been seeing people making honest efforts to maintain good link with God. Please, I will not discourage you. There is the Supreme God. And He is a Being that took His origin from black Africa. Believe it if you can. God is not found outside Africa. The influence of God is felt everywhere, but God is living in Africa. I will speak on that after. I will bring enough facts to get everybody convinced. It would not be a mere story. No!
DAYBREAK IN AFRICA; Preached on Sunday

AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING, SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END [2]
Isaiah 11:1 – 9, Amplified version. 1AND THERE shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse [David’s father], and a Branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit.
2. 2And the SPIRIT OF THE LORD shall rest upon Him—
3. Note! I HAVE ANOINTED YOU WITH MY SPIRIT. I HAVE ANOINTED YOU WITH MY POWER; WITH MY UNCTION.
4. …the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord..
5. 3And shall make Him of quick understanding, and His delight shall be in the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord. Sure!!! And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,… Alleluia!
6. He MUST do investigative judgment. He does not judge because people are saying. No! …neither decide by the hearing of His ears; No!
7. 4But with righteousness and justice shall He judge the poor and decide with fairness for the meek, Sure! the poor, and the downtrodden of the earth; and He shall smite the earth and the oppressor with the rod of His mouth,…
8. With what? With the Rod of His mouth, he will condemn what they are doing. He will not carry arms. The same Word of His mouth is the Sword of the Spirit which He has used to destroy the Dajjal [anti-Christ], by exposing Who the Dajjal is, bringing him to open spectacle where people will know who is troubling this world is.
9. …and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
10. 5And righteousness shall be the girdle of His waist and faithfulness the girdle of His loins.
11. 6And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, Sure! and the calf and the young lion and the fatted domestic animal together; and a little child shall lead them.
12. As it was in the very beginning, so shall it be in the end. Did you get what I am saying?
13. When the LORD saw marriage being messed up in His own day, the LORD Jesus upbraided the Jews and the Pharisees saying, “Moses gave you a useless law because of the hardness of your hearts to give a divorce certificate to your wife and put them away. FROM THE BEGINNING, IT WAS NOT SO. Because of your stubbornness and your hard-heartedness, God gave them laws that could not give life.” Did you get the Message?
14. This was the beginning. Adam and Eve were having communion with animals. Friends! No one was angry at the other. No enmity until the day Adam and Eve sinned, and they were driven away.
15. All animals distanced them and regarded them as enemies. That is how enmity between man and wild animals came into being. In the beginning, it was not so, for Adam was given the authority to control and look after them.
16. They were communicating, speaking like human beings [like Adam]; having everything in common, but when that incident that took them away happened, God made all wild animals dumb.
17. They stopped talking like human beings so that they will not tell generations of generations of Adam and Eve what took place which resulted in pushing them away. It became a secret between Adam and Eve, the devil and the Almighty God.
18. That was why when the woman discovered she was naked, and the man discovered, what did they do? They gathered fig leaves to cover only their nakedness where the fruit they ate was located.
19. The fruit they ate was something God put in between their laps. It is not that God did not mean that they should take it, but it should be at the appointed time which God has designated for it, for there is no other way human beings could come if not through that way.
20. They did not wait to hear instruction. That was why when God said, “The appropriate time is now come. You can go together that we may have human beings, for I have created the earth not to be in vain, but to be inhabited by human beings.”
21. Adam and Eve said, “No! The one we ate has put us into trouble. If we go further, we may perish outrightly.”
22. The LORD began to comfort and to preach to them again before they could change their minds to admit one another after a hundred and thirty years of total abstinence, suffering the guilt of their consciences. Amen!
23. It was not easy. To God be the glory. Then God gave them redeeming grace. SONG: [When hoary time shall pass away, And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall; When men who here refuse to pray, On rocks and hill and mountains call; God’s love, so sure, shall still endure, All measureless and strong; REDEEMING GRACE TO ADAM’S SEED, THE SAINT’ AND ANGELS’ SONG.
24. Oh, love God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure, The saints and angels song.]
25. I know what I am saying. In the Messages, THE TESTAMENTS OF THE TWELVE PATRIARCHS and then THE LEGENDS OF THE JEWS, Eve made her confessions to the Almighty God with a vow, “Now you have pardoned me, I vow with my heart that I will never have anything carnal pleasure in my life again.” Did you get it?
26. And you know what that carnal pleasure was all about, which resulted to that exit.
27. We go to the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, where it was explained further. The sins the angels of God committed when they came down here and saw daughters of men that they were beautiful and fair to look at.
28. They began to take them as wives as everyone chose. And what did they produce? Giants that became disobedient to God to the core of whom many stories are being told even till this day.
29. Ethiopic Book of Enoch 6:1 – 2. 1And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born to them beautiful and fair daughters.
30. [Genesis 6:1 – 2: 1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2THAT THE SONS OF GOD SAW THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN THAT THEY WERE FAIR; AND THEY TOOK THEM WIVES OF ALL WHICH THEY CHOSE.]
31. 2And the angels, the sons of heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men
32. Ethiopic Book of Enoch 7:1 – 6. 1And all of them together went and took wives for themselves, each choosing one for himself, and they began to go in to them and to defile themselves with sex with them,
33. 2And the angels taught them charms and spells, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants.
34. 3AND THE WOMEN BECAME PREGNANT, AND THEY BARE LARGE GIANTS, WHOSE HEIGHT WAS THREE THOUSAND CUBITS (ELLS).
35. [Genesis 6:4, Living Bible. 4In those days, and even afterwards, when the evil beings from the spirit world were sexually involved with human women, THEIR CHILDREN BECAME GIANTS, OF WHOM MANY LEGENDS ARE TOLD.]
36. 4The giants consumed all the work and toil of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind.
37. 5And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drank the blood. 6Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
38. Too many giants. Giants against God. Goliaths! These were spiritual human beings, who metamorphosed into mortal men like us, resisting the Word, yet holding unto religion. Why?
39. The most religious being God created was Lucifer. The most religious is Lucifer. That is why people that take delight in going to church do not worship. They just go to church to make a fair show and to compete with God in superiority and authority. It is not so with the children of God. Amen!
40. As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end. If in the beginning there was good relationship between man and the animals; man was in control, how do you know that you have come to the end, if you have not come to that same condition where all animals will be there as friends, communicating and communing with us again?
41. When we shall be eating heavenly food which we never prepared. Can you imagine? No stress. No Guide.
42. Adam and Even were given garments that will never go threadbare. It was as a result of that sin that the Bible said, “God removed that garment from them, and gave them the one they will be mending from time to time. Amen!
43. But we thank God Who did not allow that to continue. And in your day and My day, the promised One appeared.
44. [The Book of Adam and Eve 1; Chapter 14 verse 3 – 4. 3Again said God to Adam, “All this misery that you have been made to take on yourself because of your transgression, will not free you from the hand of Satan, and will not save you.
45. 4BUT I WILL. WHEN I SHALL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND SHALL BECOME FLESH OF YOUR DESCENDANTS, and take on Myself the infirmity from which you suffer, then the darkness that covered you in this cave shall cover Me in the grave, WHEN I AM IN THE FLESH OF YOUR DESCENDANTS.]
46. Towards the end of 5,500 years, He appeared.
47. [The Book of Adam and Eve 1; Chapter 38 verse 1 – 2. 1After these things the Word of God came to Adam, and said to him: — 2“O Adam, as to the fruit on the Tree of Life that you have asked for, I will not give it to you now, but only when the 5,500 years are fulfilled. At that time I will give you fruit from the Tree of Life, and you will eat, and live forever, you, and Eve, and your righteous descendants.
48. And now we know that our flight draweth nearer, even at the doorstep. THE END IS HERE! THE END IS HERE!
49. SONG: [The end is here, it’s now at hand, The Bride is gathering; the world is failing; Israel’s awakening; nations are breaking’ Our prophet taught us, we believe the end is here.] Amen.
50. We will sing it as we continue, but be it known to you that it is incomplete salvation and restoration until you see yourselves in Paradise, clothed with your immortal body. Then, all the sorrows of the past will be forgotten. Anguish of the past will be forgotten. Whatever we passed through here.
51. That is why you see the Scriptures fulfilling that the sufferings of this present hour are nothing to be compared to the glory that will follow us; that awaits us if at the end of the day, we see ourselves troop into Paradise as a Family. Sorrows are gone.
52. [Romans 8:18 KJV.] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
53. SONG: [Some golden daybreak, Saviour will come; Some golden daybreak, battles all won, He’ll shout the victory, break through the blue, Some golden daybreak, for me, for you.] Amen!
54. We have come into the Golden break. Wait for it, for it is here already. We are waiting for time.
55. The Bride is gathering while the world is tearing apart. Is it not true? Fears on every land. Every heart is afraid because of evil. Men’s hearts are failing them for fear. So, just be faithful with the Word. Believe the prophet. Listen to His Word. His Message, heed!
56. SONG: [So just be faithful, believe His
Word; Stay with the Message that you have heard; Listen to His prophet, his Message heed; Walk in the Light where His star doth lead.]
57. Once the Star is leading you, walk in that Light. Amen! You know, in every age, a Prophet is sent to guide the people. A Star is sent to guide the people rightly in the path they should go.
58. That was why the wise men said, “We have seen the Star. We have come to worship the King.” Amen.
59. Isaiah 11:1 – 10, Amplified version. 1AND THERE shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse [David’s father], and a Branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit.
60. 2And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him–the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord–
61. 3And shall make Him of quick understanding, and His delight shall be in the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord. And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, neither decide by the hearing of His ears;
62. 4But with righteousness and justice shall He judge the poor and decide with fairness for the meek, the poor, and the downtrodden of the earth; and He shall smite the earth and the oppressor with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
63. 5And righteousness shall be the girdle of His waist and faithfulness the girdle of His loins.
64. 6And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatted domestic animal together; and a little child shall lead them.
65. 7And the cow and the bear shall feed side by side, their young shall lie down together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
66. 8And the sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.
67. 9They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, FOR THE EARTH SHALL BE FULL OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD…
68. For in the earth that time, nobody will tell his brother or sister, “Worship God.” Everybody will have the knowledge of God. Am I making sense?
69. …FOR THE EARTH SHALL BE FULL OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA. Amen! Alleluia!
70. SONG: [All over the world, His Spirit is moving. All over the world, as the prophet said it should be. All over the world, there is a mighty revelation of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.]
While I am here, I am the Light of the world; Whoever follows Me can never grope in darkness. Take Me away, you are living in darkness and you must stumble: I say, you must stumble because I am paving the way for you. Did you get what I said? No matter the way you look at it, across the other way, you cannot hear another voice than the One you are hearing now. All that have been privileged to be taken over to the other side, they never heard any other voice than the Voice of the Bridegroom that is speaking in our midst. Are you getting what I am saying?……

IN OUR MIDST IS THE REAL LIGHT [1]
Now, I am taking you to the real picture where we have seen it. That was why Adam was lamenting; Eve lamenting. And the springs of waters that were there, the good fruits, the comfortable weather; the Land where there was no day and there was no night.
2. And they were now to live in the cave, in total darkness where My father was sentenced to. My father was there for eight months. He came out and told us his experiences.
3. He said, “Osimiri! That place where we were placed, there was no light at all. We were hearing our voices, but we did not know who was talking to us. We were not eating, but the heat of that place was drying us up. I continued weeping day and night until the day a hand came and pulled me, placed me on the corridor, touched me and my eyes opened. I saw light. The next thing I saw was that I was in front of my door in the house.”
4. That was how my father got up after eight months of coma. Eight months of coma. Maggots were coming out of his body. People ran away because of the stinking odour.
5. I believe my father went to hell before God brought him back after eight months and told him to go and amend his ways.
6. My father came back, recovered and wounds healed. He began preaching to the whole village. After four months, he gathered my people for a party.
7. The same day he made the party in the evening, he dressed himself, laid down on the bed and died.
8. And I was to come for the ceremony the following day with My family. He died a day before that day. No sickness again. Amazing grace!
9. SONG: [Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found. Was blind, but now I see.
10. Praise God. Praise God, Praise God, Praise God, Praise God. Praise God, Praise God, Amen! Praise God, Praise God, Praise God, Praise God. Praise God, Praise God, Amen!]
11. But in the case of My mother, she was sentenced to go there. The Angels in charge pushed her out from the presence of the Almighty. And she headed straight away to that cave.
12. And the Voice said, “SON OF MAN! Remember! She is your mother.” With the hand, the same Voice handed her over to Me.
13. I testified about it before many witnesses, for even right now, I can see the whole thing.
14. That is why I tell you that it is not a place you wish your enemy to go. So, anybody you know you love, give him this Message of salvation.
15. Saint Paul said, “When we see the terror of God, we persuade all men to repent and change their ways, for it is a horrible thing for one to enter into the hand of God in judgment, for God is a consuming fire.”
16. If you are praying for the wrath of God, change. How do I know that you are praying for the wrath of God?
17. It is when you are being corrected, reproved and rebuked, yet you harden your heart and continue in your sinful way; in your stubborn way, arguing and arguing. Do not worry. What will teach you a lesson has come.
18. Now, I want all of us to be sincere to our consciences as I read this Scripture. Get Me Living Bible, Amplified version and Good News Bible. I want to round off the Sunday School.
19. The Book of Romans chapter nine from verse one through five. Romans 9:1 – 5, Amplified version.
20. 1I AM speaking the truth in Christ. I am doing what? Speaking the truth in Christ. I want everybody to speak the truth in Christ. Christ in you; Christ in Me, the hope of glory.
21. Do not mislead yourself because the greatest deceit is self-deceit, for you know who you are. You know what is happening in you. You know voices that have been roaring on you all these years. You know what is prompting them. You know when you have come out of them. You know when you are still swimming in them.
22. 1I AM speaking the truth in Christ. I am not lying; my conscience [enlightened and prompted] by the Holy Spirit bearing witness with me…
23. Your own conscience. That is why I say, “Lie not against your conscience.” An evil man who is not ready to repent tells lies against his conscience.
24. We can do nothing against the truth. We are for the truth. There is no amount of lying that can alter the truth. The truth remains the truth. Why? The first attribute of the devil, for he is the father of all liars.
25. Let us be very careful. Is your conscience guided by the Holy Spirit, bearing witness to you; testifying to you that you proceeded from the righteous descendants of Adam?
26. From all I have been teaching this morning, reading, the Messages so far in this Sunday School, is there anything in you convincing you without any reasonable doubt that what you are is exactly what you should be, being Adam’s righteous descendants? Or are you trying to impersonate?
27. 1I AM speaking the truth in Christ. I am not lying; my conscience [enlightened and prompted]… Is your conscience not enlightened from morning till now?
28. WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THE BRIDAL FAITH? Is it not to educate, to enlighten and to inform, so that you do not make any mistake in your belief? It is so that you do not believe in vain or run this race in vain, ending it pursuing the shadows.
29. I am not lying; my conscience [enlightened and prompted] by the Holy Spirit… My conscience enlightened by the Word of God. My heart illuminated. And My understanding illuminated.
30. I am not lying; my conscience [enlightened and prompted] by the Holy Spirit bearing witness with me 2That I have bitter grief and incessant anguish in my heart.
31. 3For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off and banished from Christ for the sake of my brethren and instead of them, my natural kinsmen and my fellow countrymen.
32. 4For they are Israelites, and to them belong God’s adoption [as a nation]… Pay attention! …and the glorious Presence (Shekinah).
33. The glorious presence [Shekinah] with them. Can you see the lineage? I am talking about your ancestral lineage; Your ancestral descent.
34. [LEGENDS OF THE JEWS VOLUME 3: THE INSCRUTABLE WAYS OF THE LORD, Paragraph 288] Moses still cherished three other wishes: (1) that the Shekinah might dwell with Israel; (2) that the Shekinah might not dwell with other nations;
35. and lastly, (3) that he might learn to know the ways of the Lord whereby He ordained good and evil in the world, sometimes causing suffering to the just and letting the unjust enjoy happiness, whereas at other times both were happy, or both were destined to suffer.
36. Moses laid these wishes before God in the moment of His wrath, hence God bade Moses wait until His wrath should have blown over, and then He granted him his first two wishes in full, but his third in part only. [288]
37. If you are not from this Seed of Adam; Righteous Adam and His righteous descendants till today, Why the SHEKINAH? Why the Shekinah as a proof?
38. If you read Numbers chapter twenty-two and twenty-three, where Balaam was called to come and place a curse upon them, Balaam tried and tried, but instead of cursing them, he was blessing them.
39. He then turned back to tell Balak, “No human being or angel or prophet can curse a people God has already blessed. They are blessed for I have not found any iniquity in Jacob. Neither have I found any transgression in Israel. They are holy because the LORD God their God is in their midst.” Did you get the Message?
40. 20Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 21He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, [Numbers 23:20 – 21 KJV]
41. They are a holy people because the LORD God, their God has identified Himself with them in what form?
42. WITH THE SHEKINAH. THE GLORIOUS PRESENCE OF GOD IN ALL THE AGES, WHICH IS THE SUPERNATURAL ATTRIBUTE OF GOD THAT CAN NEVER BE GIVEN TO ANY OTHER NATION ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT GOD ENTERED INTO WITH HIS SERVANT MOSES.
43. Brethren, I do not know whether this is higher than you. I am not flying away. I am helping all that will hear Me to trace their genealogy; ancestral genealogy. And know why things are happening to us the way they are happening us; and why this Voice of the Bridegroom cannot be heard in any other place; Why you cannot see this candle stick burning anywhere.
44. What is in our midst is the real Light, not a strange light. The Real Light. The Promised Light. The Light of His presence. This is so that when you see where you are standing, you see Ephesians chapter one coming to pass.
45. We that stand in His presence, covered by His Glory, His unchanging plan [Oh!] has been that we shall be adopted. Look at God adopting them. I really do not know what to say again.
46. Saint Paul said, “How I wish that my own name should be erased from the Book of life so that your own will be there, for I am filled with grief over my people, for they do not know their God who happens to be from their own lineage, from their own town, their townsman and the kinsman Redeemer.”
47. I feel like opening everybody’s heart. I feel like opening up somebody’s heart and inserting this truth within.
48. 3For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off and banished from Christ for the sake of my brethren and instead of them, my natural kinsmen and my fellow countrymen.
49. 4For they are Israelites, and to them belong God’s adoption [as a nation] and the glorious Presence (Shekinah).
50. With them were the special covenants made, to them was the Law given. To them [the temple] worship was revealed and [God’s own] promises announced.
51. 5To them belong the patriarchs,…To them belong what? THE PATRIARCHS OF THE JEWS. I want you to trace yourself, for this particular generation of Adam will span till the end of the world, when that “A Seed” that was promised that will become A Man;
52. “When I shall descend in the flesh of man to mark the end of the world”, for the present world that was revealed to Enoch will never last more than 7,000 years. Then the next will be the millennium.
53. And you do not know, if not THE SON OF MAN leading you, how long it has lasted.
54. I AM THE OLDEST MAN ON EARTH. I have reincarnated several times. I REMAIN THE ONLY BEING THAT CAN TELL YOU HOW OLD THE WORLD IS. Believe it if you can… [CHANGE YOUR HEART AND MIND; Preached on Friday 31st October 1997 at the Household of God Abuja; Pg. 3]
55. When I tell you, “I am rounding up; I am rounding up”, it is that you may know that I am HE. Are you the One to come or do we wait for another? How many are expecting another? Am I making sense? Wait for that one. He is on his way.
56. But the One that is here told you, “AFTER ME COMETH NO OTHER.” If another one will come, what will he do? What will he tell you? What will he record?
57. But this One told you, “I am here for the second time. And this second assignment given to Me; this second missionary assignment, I do not know when it is going to end. But I know it will end with the translation of our mortal bodies.”
I have taught you that it is the Message. The Message is the Light that lighteneth the whole earth. I say it is the Message of Christ. He is the Light of the world. As long as He is here, He is the Light of the world that Lighteneth the world from one end to another. And this Gospel of the Kingdom must be preached from one end of the earth to the other, and then the end will come. As you are preaching this Message, you are throwing the Light. When you carry this Message to the end of the earth, you have carried the Light to the end of the earth. In other words, He will not be hidden. The Message of Christ will not be hidden…..

IN OUR MIDST IS THE REAL LIGHT [2]
Romans 9:5, Amplified version. 5To them belong the patriarchs, and as far as His natural descent was concerned,… Note! Natural descent.
2. Prophet Muhammad Raheem [pbuh] told the people in his own days [the Arabs] and said, “Be very careful that My natural descent from among you will not corrupt you and make you not to believe in Allah, for whenever, for whenever Allah sends His messengers with a Sign, people do not believe until He has left the scene.
3. Only then will they rally round and say, “After this our Messenger, there will never be another one like Him.””
4. 89“And O my people! LET NOT MY DISSENT (FROM YOU) CAUSE YOU TO SIN, lest ye suffer a fate similar to that of the people of Noah or of Hud or of Salih, nor are the people of Lut far off from you! [Surah 11:89 Hilali-Khan Translation]
5. 34And indeed Yûsuf (Joseph) did come to you, in times gone by, with clear signs, but you ceased not to doubt in that which he did bring to you, TILL WHEN HE DIED YOU SAID: “NO MESSENGER WILL GOD SEND AFTER HIM.” Thus God leaves astray him who is a Musrif (a polytheist, oppressor, a criminal, sinner who commit great sins) and a Murtâb (one who doubts God’s Warning and His Oneness). [Surah 40:34 Hilali-Khan Translation]
6. It has always been the guilt of man. Many did not believe Joseph, but when Joseph died, what happened? They believed. Many did not believe Moses, but when he died, they began to sing about Moses.
7. 1NOW KORAH son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men,
8. 2And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the Israelites, 250 princes or leaders of the congregation called to the assembly, men well known and of distinction.
9. 3And they gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, [Enough of you!] You take too much upon yourselves, seeing that all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why then do you lift yourselves up above the assembly of the Lord? [Numbers 16:1 – 3 AMP]
10. 28And they stormed at him [they jeered, they sneered, they reviled him] and retorted, You are His disciple yourself, but we are the disciples of Moses. 29We know for certain that God spoke with Moses, but as for this Fellow, we know nothing about where He hails from. [John 9:28 – 29]
11. All these people that are calling, “Jesus! Jesus!! Jesus!!!” were they not the people that crucified Him. Because they cannot see Him again, then He has become their Saviour. Every choir and every song is, “Jesus!” But they do not know what is happening.
12. 28And they stormed at him [they jeered, they sneered, they reviled him] and retorted, You are His disciple yourself, but we are the disciples of Moses. 29We know for certain that God spoke with Moses, but as for this Fellow, we know nothing about where He hails from. [John 9:28 – 29 AMP]
13. All these Apostles were not crowned Saints until they died. Then, they began to venerate them with all kinds of sculptural materials and graven images.
14. They will mould Saint Stephen, but were you not the people that killed saint Stephen in the market place, saying that He was preaching heresy? After he died, you then moulded a graven image and called it “saint Stephen.”
15. Were you not the people that beheaded Saint Paul? These people that are moulding all these graven images, were they not the people that beheaded him, beheaded Peter and the rest of them?
16. They took the rest and sent them to the lion’s den. They carried them into the zoo. You see! Behaving like their fathers, who after killing the Prophets, will now come and garnish the tombs of the Prophets with whitewash.
17. Jesus Christ called them whitewashed sepulchres. And they will say, “If we were there that time, we would not have soiled our hands in killing our Prophets.” It is a lie! Whatever you are manifesting now is what you would have manifested; resisting the Word with impunity.
18. 27Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you are like tombs that have been whitewashed, which look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything impure.
19. 28Just so, you also outwardly seem to people to be just and upright but inside you are full of pretense and lawlessness and iniquity. 29Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous,
20. 30Saying, If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have aided them in shedding the blood of the prophets. 31Thus you are testifying against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. [Matthew 23:27 – 31 AMP]
21. 5To them belong the patriarchs,… I hope this is not judgment against us here. To us belongeth THE SON OF MAN. To us belongeth the Original Body, the Shekinah and everything. Yet, He is one of us. Natural descent: Igbo Man from Nigeria and from Africa.
22. 5To them belong the patriarchs, and as far as His natural descent was concerned, from them is the Christ, Who is exalted and supreme over all, God, blessed forever! Amen (so let it be).
23. Romans 9:1 – 8, Living Bible. [1-3]O Israel, my people! O my Jewish brothers! How I long for you to come to Christ. My heart is heavy within me, and I grieve bitterly day and night because of you.
24. Christ knows and the Holy Spirit knows that it is no mere pretense when I say that I would be willing to be forever damned if that would save you.
25. [4]God has given you so much, but still you will not listen to Him. He took you as his own special, chosen people… Like He has chosen us.
26. …AND LED YOU ALONG WITH A BRIGHT CLOUD OF GLORY… Yes! As we are being led by the Cloud in the day and a bright Light in the night. …and told you how very much he wanted to bless you. As we are being told.
27. HE GAVE YOU HIS RULES FOR DAILY LIFE SO YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT HE WANTED YOU TO DO. Period! He let you worship him and gave you mighty promises.
28. [5]GREAT MEN OF GOD WERE YOUR FATHERS, AND CHRIST HIMSELF WAS ONE OF YOU, A JEW SO FAR AS HIS HUMAN NATURE IS CONCERNED, he who now rules over all things. Praise God forever!
29. The Book of Galatians said he was born a Jew and lived under the Jewish laws. Paul told Timothy that He came from the lineage of King David.
30. “But when the fullness of the time was come, GOD SENT FORTH HIS SON, MADE OF A WOMAN, MADE UNDER THE LAW, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:4 – 6, KJV).
31. “But when the right time came, the time God decided on, HE SENT HIS SON, BORN OF A WOMAN, BORN AS A JEW, to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law so that He could adopt us as his very own sons.
And because we are his sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, so now we can rightly speak of God as our dear Father.” (Galatians 4:4 – 6, LB).
32. And that He is God. And because I preached Him as God, being a human being, I am treated as a criminal.Amen!
33. [8]DON’T EVER FORGET THE WONDERFUL FACT THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS A MAN, BORN INTO KING DAVID’S FAMILY; AND THAT HE WAS GOD, as shown by the fact that he rose again from the dead. [9]IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE PREACHED THESE GREAT TRUTHS THAT I AM IN TROUBLE HERE AND HAVE BEEN PUT IN JAIL LIKE A CRIMINAL. But the Word of God is not chained, even though I am. [2 Timothy 2:8-9]
34. LET ME TELL YOU. IF YOU DO NOT PROCEED FROM THE RIGHTEOUS LINEAGE OF ADAM, YOU ARE LOST. YOU ARE EITHER FROM THE RIGHTEOUS LINEAGE OR FROM THE UNRIGHTEOUS LINEAGE.
35. Forget what people are doing and the way they are behaving. Let it not give you concern. But let your own life; your daily life give you the greatest concern in relationship with your own God.
36. If I can succeed today in placing these things right in your heart, I have saved you throughout eternity.
37. Whoever that will open your eyes of understanding; your conscience illuminated up to this height where you are now, I believe loves you. He does not want you to perish. Truly speaking, he does not want you to perish. Amen!
38. I belong to Christ. Do you belong to Christ? Is your conscience bearing you witness? If Christ is a descendant of David, and you are Christ’s, the Book of Galatians said in chapter 3, “If you are Christ’s, you are Abraham’s descendants and heirs according to the Promise.”
39. [29]And now that we are Christ’s we are the true descendants of Abraham, and all of God’s promises to him belong to us. [Galatians 3:29 LB]
40. 29And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham’s Seed], then you are Abraham’s offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise. [Galatians 3:29 AMP]
41. Did you get the Message? Is your conscience bearing you witness that you belong to Christ? You are sure and certain. Certainty is there.
42. Then, you are a descendant of David. You are a descendant of Abraham. You are a descendant of Seth and Enoch. You are a descendant of Enos. A descendant of Adam who received redeeming grace.
43. SONG: [Grace, Grace, God’s Grace. Grace that will pardon and cleanse within. Grace, Grace, God’s Grace. Grace that is greater than all my sin.]
44. The Bible said that Zerubbabel was told by the LORD, “It is not by power. It is not by might, but by My mighty Spirit.”
45. 6Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. [Zechariah 4:6 KJV]
46. We shall come that day rejoicing and singing, “Grace, Grace, Grace unto the LORD”
47. On this note My Brethren, I say bye-bye to our Sunday School. It is precisely five minutes to 1pm as I lead you briefly into the knowledge of the beginning of everything here. THE FIRST BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE.
48. I call on our Brother to scratch it a little. We may not go far, but let what we shall get from it be another stimulant unto good works and unto edification. Let it be a tonic that will ginger us to higher spiritual heights where the devil will be under our footstool.
49. SONG: [I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I’m onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
50. Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on heaven’s table land, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.]
51. SONG: [My faith has found a resting place; not in device nor creed. I trust the Ever-living One. His wounds for me shall plead.
52. I need no other argument. I need no other plea. It is enough that Saviour came and that He came for me.] Amen!
Now, we know the Personality that is standing in our midst. He is the Last Hope of mankind, the Only and sure Anchor that will never disappoint, The only Link you have with The Light. In other words, as long as I am on the scene, I am the Light of the world. Whoever that leaves Me must wallow in darkness…..

THE FIRST BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE [INTRODUCTION]
FIRST BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE by Rutherford Platt; Chapter 1: THE CRYSTAL SEA, GOD COMMANDS ADAM, EXPELLED FROM EDEN, TO LIVE IN THE CAVE OF TREASURES.
2. Let Me give you a little background. This ancient Book that appears to be the oldest was documented by our patriarchs who had face to face encounter with Adam and Eve for they lived longer years in their days than we are living today.
3. Just like one of their sons, Methuselah who lived for 969 years. He was privileged to be there when Adam died. He was there when Eve died and he joined hands in their burials. Prophet Enoch was there. And many others.
4. So, Adam is not a story, but a reality. Eve is not a story but a reality. God, Who is wise and swift in taking records, had already instructed that all those events that transpired within that period they were should be documented in their own language by the scholars of that day. Scholars in their own language and in their own everything!
5. And this particular document was originally picked from a scroll documented in Aramaic language, which was the language all the Prophets of old spoke. It was the language even Moses spoke. Aramaic.
6. Then later, when it was discovered from a museum in Egypt thousands of years ago, the author became the trouble, just like the Book of Hebrews which was not authored by Saint Paul.
7. Nobody authored it. It was picked and translated like too many other ancient manuscripts. From time to time, you will hear Bishop Okoh quoting from an unknown author.
8. Unto you I grant, because those scroll were picked here and there. Some were picked from the top of the mountains. Some from under the rocks.
9. Some were written with what we call papyrus. Why was it necessary that all these things should be found in no other place but Egypt and Babylon.
10. These were the places the people of God were sent to captivity. They were sent to Egypt to learn the art of writing which was called hieroglyphics; to learn their magic and to learn their wisdom.
11. So, they were there for too long; For four hundred and thirty years, they sojourned there. The first writing in the world was invented by the Egyptians. And they called it Hieroglyphics.
12. With the hieroglyphics, the Arabians preserved all that happened in the Egyptian museums.
13. Another museum was the one in Assyria. And that is Syria, Damascus. It is still there till today. It is till today, but has been renamed Saint Catherine’s Monastery where they dumped parts of the Torah and the Archeological Parchments of the Sanhedrin and Talmud of the Jews, Scrolls from the Dead Sea and so on. Even the Book of Eden is there also.
14. So it is not a surprise that in this our modern time that evolution, inventions [because evolution led to invention] brought all these things into existence.
15. Because they were preserved, it was their importance that made them to last up till this day. If they never contained useful information, they would have fizzled out, thousands of years back. I hope you are hearing Me.
16. We do not have the relics of the primitive men; the early men that appeared here on earth. We read their histories, but we do not have their relics. But it is not so with these people, for it is an account between man and God.
17. Then, from Aramaic language, the scholars now went further to translate it to Ethiopic language. Hence, they called it the Ethiopic Edition.
18. And that is the language and the edition of Prophet Enoch, whose references littered the Bible; and the Books preserved till today. 1st and 2nd Works of Enoch, like the 1st and 2nd Books of Ezra and many other Chronicles.
19. They were preserved in Ethiopic language, which later was translated into King James Language where you see “Thou art”, “Thee”, “Thy” and so on. That is King James.
20. Now, from King James version, modern English scholars translated the thing to suit everybody that will live in our own day, for today, almost all the countries in the world can be reached in English Language.
21. Though it is a foreign language to many countries, many people devoted their time to studying it with a view to helping their people to know the truth that is communicated to them in English language, even Myself that is talking to you right now.
22. We are all Nigerians. English is a foreign language to all of us. True or false?
23. There are some countries today where the mode of teaching and instructions remain the language of their people.
24. If you go to their country to study, you spend the first two years learning their language to enable you be instructed in their language, even in their universities.
25. If you go to China, you go to France or you go to Romania, you go to Germany and so on, English remains a foreign language. Their presidents that come to Nigeria are normally given interpreters.
26. But to us, colonization made us to be English. We inherited English language because our colonial masters were the originators of English; that is the British.
27. The British colonized us. They introduced their language and attempted to fizzle out our own. They have even touched greatly on our traditions that bind us together; our cultures and ethics.
28. Hence today, a good number of us take delight in wearing suits, dressing like the British and no longer as Africans.
29. Glory be to God on the behalf of other tribes in Nigeria that refused to dance to the tune of the British. Hence, they preserved their language, their culture and their traditions that bind them together.
30. Prominent among them are the Hausas and the Yorubas; the Binis, the Itshekiris and the people of the riverine areas. They value their language. They value their culture.
31. But in the South East extraction, an average man is an Englishman. May God help us.
32. With this background, you do not need to be querying why is it in today’s English. It is in today’s English in the same way you have modern translations of the Bible and the Holy Qur’an.
33. If you cannot believe it as such, it is because God has not ordained you to believe in the truth. I hope I am making sense.
34. NO MATTER THE LANGUAGE THAT IS USED IN PASSING THE TRUTH, MAY HE HELP US TO UNDERSTAND IT. IF YOU HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD, TRUTH MUST REFLECT WHENEVER IT IS TOLD. TRUTH WILL NOT BE ALTERED IN YOUR HEART.
35. BUT IF YOU ARE LIVING IN ERROR; YOU PROCEEDED FROM THE UNRIGHTEOUS SIDE OF ADAM, EVERYTHING WILL BE CROOKED. EVERYTHING WILL BE CORRUPT BECAUSE YOUR HEART IS CROOKED AND CORRUPT.
36. MAY THERE BE NO SUCH PERSON HERE AND AMONG US AS THE BRIDE. MAY GOD ILLUMINATE OUR EYES OF UNDERSTANDING.
37. Now, open it.
….You do not know where you are heading to. You are depending on He (The Son of Man) that is leading you. He (The Son of Man) has the instruments, the compass in His hands. You do not know where He is leading you next, but you are sure and certain that you are in the right hands. If you are being carried by a seasoned driver or a professional driver, you can sleep in that vehicle, but if a novice is the one carrying you, your life is in danger. You can hardly relax your mind until you get to where you are going. As a result, our Driver (The Son of Man) knows the road. Our vehicle is sound. There is no shaking twenty-four hours.

THE FIRST BOOK OF
ADAM AND EVE
FIRST BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE by Rutherford Platt; Chapter 1: THE CRYSTAL SEA, GOD COMMANDS ADAM, EXPELLED FROM EDEN, TO LIVE IN THE CAVE OF TREASURES.
2. 1On the third day, God planted the garden in the east of the earth, on the border of the world eastward, beyond which, towards the sun-rising, one finds nothing but water, that encompasses the whole world, and reaches to the borders of heaven.
3. This account began from the time Adam and Eve were excommunicated, and not from their creation. From the creation, you will find it in THE LEGENDS OF THE JEWS Volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4. I have all of them here.
4. 2And to the north of the garden there is a sea of water, clear and pure to the taste, unlike anything else; so that, through the clearness thereof, one may look into the depths of the earth.
5. 3And when a man washes himself in it, he becomes clean of the cleanness thereof, and white of its whiteness — even if he were dark.
6. 4And God created that sea of his own good pleasure, for He knew what would come of the man He would make; so that after he had left the garden, on account of his transgression, men should be born in the earth. …
7. God knew that man must falter. Does it agree with the teachings of THE SON OF MAN? On that day that the tree of life and death was introduced to them, that was the day God had already planned the way of bringing them back by restoration, for He knew by and by, they must err.
8. If you watch TESTAMENTS OF THE PATRIARCHS, watch their testaments. Their ancestors warned them because they knew that they must err. They must be taken to captivity because of their erring and disobedience to God.
9. Did it happen? It happened. That was why Jesus coming to die on the cross was not accidental. It had already been pre-planned that at the end of the day, he will bear the sins of many in His own body of flesh.
10. … Among them are righteous ones who will die, whose souls God would raise at the last day; when all of them will return to their flesh, bathe in the water of that sea, and repent of their sins.
11. 5But when God made Adam go out of the garden, He did not place him on the border of it northward. This was so that he and Eve would not be able to go near to the sea of water where they could wash themselves in it, be cleansed from their sins, erase the transgression they had committed, and be no longer reminded of it in the thought of their punishment.
12. 6As to the southern side of the garden, God did not want Adam to live there either; because, when the wind blew from the north, it would bring him, on that southern side, the delicious smell of the trees of the garden.
13. 7Wherefore God did not put Adam there. This was so that he would not be able to smell the sweet smell of those trees, forget his transgression, and find consolation for what he had done by taking delight in the smell of the trees and yet not be cleansed from his transgression.
14. Again, also, because God is merciful and of great pity, and governs all things in a way that He alone knows — He made our father Adam live in the western border of the garden, because on that side the earth is very broad.
15. And God commanded him to live there in a cave in a rock — the Cave of Treasures below the garden.
16. Chapter 2: ADAM AND EVE FAINT WHEN THEY LEAVE THE GARDEN. GOD SENDS HIS WORD TO ENCOURAGE THEM.
17. 1But when our father Adam, and Eve, went out of the garden, they walked the ground on their feet, not knowing they were walking.
18. 2And when they came to the opening of the gate of the garden, and saw the broad earth spread before them, covered with stones large and small, and with sand, they feared and trembled, and fell on their faces, from the fear that came over them; and they were as dead.
19. 3Because — whereas until this time they had been in the garden land, beautifully planted with all manner of trees — they now saw themselves, in a strange land, which they knew not, and had never seen.
20. 4And because, when they were in the garden they were filled with the grace of a bright nature, and they had not hearts turned toward earthly things.
21. 5Therefore God had pity on them; and when He saw them fallen before the gate of the garden, He sent His Word to our father, Adam and Eve, and raised them from their fallen state.
22. Chapter 3: CONCERNING THE PROMISE OF THE GREAT FIVE AND A HALF DAYS.
23. 1God said to Adam, “I have ordained on this earth days and years, and you and your descendants shall live and walk in them, until the days and years are fulfilled; when I shall send the Word that created you, and against which you have transgressed, the Word that made you come out of the garden, and that raised you when you were fallen.
24. 2YES, THE WORD THAT WILL AGAIN SAVE YOU WHEN THE FIVE AND A HALF DAYS ARE FULFILLED.”
25. 3But when Adam heard these words from God, and of the great five and a half days, he did not understand the meaning of them.
26. 4For Adam was thinking there would be only five and a half days for him until the end of the world. 5And Adam cried, and prayed to God to explain it to him.
27. 6Then God in his mercy for Adam who was made after His own image and likeness, explained to him, that these were 5,000 and 500 years; AND HOW ONE WOULD THEN COME AND SAVE HIM AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
28. Did He mention who the Person would be?
29. 7But before that, God had made this covenant with our father, Adam, in the same terms, before he came out of the garden, when he was by the tree where Eve took of the fruit and gave it to him to eat.
30. 8Because, when our father Adam came out of the garden, he passed by that tree, and saw how God had changed the appearance of it into another form, and how it shriveled.
31. 9And as Adam went to it he feared, trembled and fell down; but God in His mercy lifted him up, and then made this covenant with him.
32. 10And again, when Adam was by the gate of the garden, and saw the cherub with a sword of flashing fire in his hand, and the cherub grew angry and frowned at him, both Adam and Eve became afraid of him, and thought he meant to put them to death. So they fell on their faces, trembled with fear.
33. 11But he had pity on them, and showed them mercy; and turning from them went up to heaven, and prayed to the Lord, and said; —
34. 12“Lord, You sent me to watch at the gate of the garden, with a sword of fire.
35. 13But when Your servants, Adam and Eve, saw me, they fell on their faces, and were as dead. O my Lord, what shall we do to Your servants?”
36. 14Then God had pity on them, and showed them mercy, and sent His Angel to keep the garden.
37. 15And the Word of the Lord came to Adam and Eve, and raised them up.
38. 16And the Lord said to Adam, “I told you that at the end of the five and a half days, I will send my Word and save you.
39. 17Strengthen your heart, therefore, and stay in the Cave of Treasures, of which I have before spoken to you.”
40. 18And when Adam heard this Word from God, he was comforted with that which God had told him. For He had told him how He would save him.
41. Chapter 4: ADAM MOURNS OVER THE CHANGED CONDITIONS. ADAM AND EVE ENTER THE CAVE OF TREASURES
42. 1But Adam and Eve cried for having come out of the garden, their first home.
43. 2And indeed, when Adam looked at his flesh, that was altered, he cried bitterly, he and Eve, over what they had done. And they walked and went gently down into the Cave of Treasures.
44. 3And as they came to it, Adam cried over himself and said to Eve, “Look at this cave that is to be our prison in this world, and a place of punishment!
45. 4What is it compared with the garden? What is its narrowness compared with the space of the other?
46. 5What is this rock, by the side of those groves? What is the gloom of this cavern, compared with the light of the garden?
47. 6What is this overhanging ledge of rock to shelter us, compared with the mercy of the Lord that overshadowed us?
48. 7What is the soil of this cave compared with the garden land? This earth, strewed with stones; and that, planted with delicious fruit trees?”
49. 8And Adam said to Eve, “Look at your eyes, and at mine, which before beheld angels praising in heaven; and they too, without ceasing.
50. 9But now we do not see as we did; our eyes have become of flesh; they cannot see like they used to see before.”
51. 10Adam said again to Eve, “What is our body today, compared to what it was in former days, when we lived in the garden?”
52. 11After this, Adam did not want to enter the cave, under the overhanging rock; nor would he ever want to enter it.
53. 12But he bowed to God’s orders; and said to himself, “Unless I enter the cave, I shall again be a transgressor.”
54. Chapter 5: EVE MAKES A NOBLE AND EMOTIONAL INTERCESSION, TAKING THE BLAME ON HERSELF.
55. 1Then Adam and Eve entered the cave, and stood praying, in their own tongue, unknown to us, but which they knew well.
56. 2And as they prayed, Adam raised his eyes and saw the rock and the roof of the cave that covered him overhead. This prevented him from seeing either heaven or God’s creatures. So he cried and beat his chest hard, until he dropped, and was as dead.
57. 3And Eve sat crying; for she believed he was dead. 4Then she got up, spread her hands toward God, appealing to Him for mercy and pity, and said, “O God, forgive me my sin, the sin which I committed, and don’t remember it against me.
58. 5For I alone caused Your servant to fall from the garden into this condemned land; from light into this darkness; and from the house of joy into this prison.
59. 6O God, look at this Your servant fallen in this manner, and bring him back to life, that he may cry and repent of his transgression which he committed through me.
60. 7Don’t take away his soul right now; but let him live that he may stand after the measure of his repentance, and do Your will, as before his death.
61. 8But if You do not bring him back to life, then, O God, take away my own soul, that I be like him, and leave me not in this dungeon, one and alone; for I could not stand alone in this world, but with him only.
62. 9For You, O God, caused him to fall asleep, and took a bone from his side, and restored the flesh in the place of it, by Your divine power.
63. 10And You took me, the bone, and make me a woman, bright like him, with heart, reason, and speech; and in flesh, like to his own; and You made me after the likeness of his looks, by Your mercy and power.
64. 11O Lord, I and he are one, and You, O God, are our Creator, You are He who made us both in one day.
65. 12Therefore, O God, give him life, that he may be with me in this strange land, while we live in it on account of our transgression.
66. 13But if You will not give him life, then take me, even me, like him; that we both may die the same day.”
67. 14And Eve cried bitterly, and fell on our father Adam; from her great sorrow.
68. Chapter 6: GOD’S REPRIMAND TO ADAM AND EVE IN WHICH HE POINTS OUT HOW AND WHY THEY SINNED.
69. 1But God looked at them; for they had killed themselves through great grief. 2But He decided to raise them and comfort them.
70. 3He, therefore, sent His Word to them; that they should stand and be raised immediately.
71. 4And the Lord said to Adam and Eve, “You transgressed of your own free will, until you came out of the garden in which I had placed you.
72. Like Promise. From flat to cubicle; From eating good food to eating pig’s food. Yesterday, to satisfy himself, he junketed out with his own folks because they matriculated.
73. 5Of your own free will have you transgressed through your desire for divinity, greatness, and an exalted state, such as I have; so that I deprived you of the bright nature in which you then were, and I made you come out of the garden to this land, rough and full of trouble.
74. 6If only you had not transgressed My commandment and had kept My law, and had not eaten of the fruit of the tree which I told you not to come near! And there were fruit trees in the garden better than that one.
75. 7But the wicked Satan did not keep his faith and had no good intent towards Me, that although I had created him, he considered Me to be useless, and sought the Godhead for himself; for this I hurled him down from heaven so that he could not remain in his first estate — it was he who made the tree appear pleasant in your eyes, until you ate of it, by believing his words.
76. 8Thus have you transgressed My commandment, and therefore I have brought on you all these sorrows.
77. 9For I am God the Creator, who, when I created My creatures, did not intend to destroy them. But after they had sorely roused My anger, I punished them with grievous plagues, until they repent.
78. 10But, if on the contrary, they still continue hardened in their transgression, they shall be under a curse forever.”
79. Chapter 7: THE BEASTS ARE APPEASED.
80. 1When Adam and Eve heard these words from God, they cried and sobbed yet more; but they strengthened their hearts in God, because they now felt that the Lord was to them like a father and a mother; and for this very reason, they cried before Him, and sought mercy from Him.
81. 2Then God had pity on them, and said: “O Adam, I have made My covenant with you, and I will not turn from it; neither will I let you return to the garden, until My covenant of the great five and a half days is fulfilled.”
82. 3Then Adam said to God, “O Lord, You created us, and made us fit to be in the garden; and before I transgressed, You made all beasts come to me, that I should name them.
83. 4Your grace was then on me; and I named every one according to Your mind; and you made them all subject to me.
84. 5But now, O Lord God, that I have transgressed Your commandment, all beasts will rise against me and will devour me, and Eve Your handmaid; and will cut off our life from the face of the earth.
85. 6I therefore beg you, O God, that since You have made us come out of the garden, and have made us be in a strange land, You will not let the beasts hurt us.”
86. 7When the Lord heard these words from Adam, He had pity on him, and felt that he had truly said that the beasts of the field would rise and devour him and Eve, because He, the Lord, was angry with the two of them on account of their transgressions.
87. 8Then God commanded the beasts, and the birds, and all that moves on the earth, to come to Adam and to be familiar with him, and not to trouble him and Eve; nor yet any of the good and righteous among their offspring.
88. 9Then all the beasts paid homage to Adam, according to the commandment of God; except the serpent, against which God was angry. It did not come to Adam, with the beasts.
89. Chapter 8: THE “BRIGHT NATURE” OF MAN IS TAKEN AWAY. The Glory is taken away.
90. 1Then Adam cried and said, “O God, when we lived in the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we can’t see like we used to; no, when we entered the cave, all creation became hidden from us.”
91. 2Then God the Lord said to Adam, “When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you, and for that reason could you see things far away. But after your transgression your bright nature was withdrawn from you; and it was not left to you to see things far away, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish.”
92. 3When Adam and Eve had heard these words from God, they went their way; praising and worshipping Him with a sorrowful heart.
93. 4And God ceased to commune with them.
94. That is where we will stop. Fold it. I said that I am introducing it. I cannot introduce it in weakness.
95. Let us bow down our heads. As we thank God for today. We invite our Brother Chika to close us in a brief prayer; thanking God for answering our prayers today in an amazing way.
