OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE PART 3 Preached during Morning Altar ON Thursday 30th July, 2020. AT The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN
I am not a powerful preacher, but I believe in reasoning with you until somebody will understand what the Spirit is saying. I find it difficult to give half-baked messages. That is why I try as much as I can to make the Make the Message very simple until everybody understands Me. I am speaking to you on Spiritual Maturity. And I will type many things there. …

GROW AND DEVELOP YOURSELF SPIRITUALLY [1]
We give God the praise, the glory, the honour, adoration, dominion and majesty for ushering us into a new day like this.
2. It is not of our own making. It is just God’s Grace that we are enjoying; unmerited favour because we all ate last night and went to bed and slept off.
3. Where we went, we do not know. What happened when we were sleeping, we do not know.
4. Can anybody give a narrative of where he went? Can anybody narrate it? Can you tell Me where you travelled to?
5. You lost consciousness. That is what it takes to fall asleep. You have lost consciousness. You are no longer there, but the body is lying in the bed. You are just snoring.
6. What if this morning all of us that went to bed, lying on the bed snoring; lying like ordinary logs; I mean wood; What if this morning we are still lying there lifeless?
7. We are alive because we are breathing, we are talking and we are moving about. Is it not true?
8. That time you were lying in the bed, were you moving about? Were you talking? But you were somewhere else. You went somewhere. You went into another world.
9. If you do not dream dreams, I pity you. It then goes to show that you are an imbecile. Anybody who does not dream dreams is an imbecile. Simply accept it from Me.
10. This is because it is through dreams that you will know that there is another world outside this one. There is another world outside this one.
11. That is why, if you do not dream dreams, you can hardly develop in life. You may be growing, but you are not developing.
12. When you watch all these things that scientists are producing every day, it is as a result of dreams. I hope am making sense? And then the shuttles they do in the lithosphere; they travel far away and hook up with certain spirits that will take them into the developed realm.
13. We have developed realms. You are still small because when you are growing spiritually, a time will come when I will introduce you to what I call TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATIONS where you can travel far. We call it ASTRAL PROJECTION OR ASTRAL TRAVEL.
14. You enter into all the planets in the world. You will know that planets exist. God will introduce you to everything. These planets are the things that people that knew it not in the old days call higher heavens.
15. Some say the First heaven, Second heaven, Third heaven, Fourth heaven, Sixth heaven, Seventh heaven because anywhere they landed spiritually, they called it another heaven.
16. So it is with your growth. When you were born, you were born as an infant. Did you remain an infant? Did you remain drinking water and sucking your mother’s breast?
17. You entered from one stage of life to another; one stage of life to another; one stage of life to another.
18. When you get to the peak, you come back. The moment you get to the peak, you come back and become an infant again. The same way you took off with life is where you are coming back, if you never died accidentally on the way or you never died prematurely. You will come back. Are you hearing Me?
19. That is why, one that did not die at old age died prematurely. Anybody that did not die prematurely will start from infancy and still return to infancy.
20. When he gets to the end, he will start crawling and start behaving like an infant. His senses will no longer be there. Then his children will begin to lead him about.
21. When you talk to him, he will just be laughing. He does not understand because his senses are no longer complete. He has taken all that God said he should take while projecting through life.
22. Now he has reached the zenith, he must come back. And when he comes back, the next thing is his grave. Is it a lie?
23. He has come back. He has zeroed his mind. He does not commit sin again. Even to do physical activities will be very difficult. The only physical activity he can do is to eat, to drink and talk.
24. Sometimes, they do not eat; they drink. Sometimes, they do not even talk; they mum; M-U-M. I mean mum; mumbling.
25. That is what they will be doing with staccato tone. They will mean one thing but say another. When you ask him one thing, he will answer another. You see! This means that he is not comprehending.
26. THAT IS WHY, THERE ARE TWO PERIODS OF INFANCY IN A HUMAN LIFE: [1] WHEN A PERSON IS BORN AND [2] WHEN THE PERSON BECOMES VERY OLD. IS THERE TRUTH IN IT?
27. HAVE YOU HEARD IT BEFORE? YOU MUST BE AN INFANT TWICE. WHEN YOU ARE BORN AND WHEN YOU BECOME OLD.
28. There is an age someone will attain, and he starts urinating and defecating on himself; which was what he did at infancy. He will go back to it. Then, after that stage, the next thing is to go back to where he came from; which is the grave.
29. Anyone who did not grow old died prematurely. If you did not stay long here on earth, you died prematurely. You never exhausted your years.
30. Could it be that the Lord allotted to you few years because all hands are not equal? So, all years allotted to men can never be equal. Do you believe Me?
31. As your fingers are not equal, so your years here on earth can never be equal. Your achievements here on earth can never be equal. One must be higher than the other.
32. Check your fingers. Check the shortest. Check the smallest in size. All of them do not have the same size; they do not have the same height.
33. When you check the rings on your fingers, the rings differ. The left and the right differ and two persons’ fingers can never be the same.
34. Two persons thumb prints can never be the same throughout the whole world. Which means you are one individual; an entity.
35. If your own thumbprint cannot match with My own and My own cannot match with your own, it then means we are different individuals. God is treating us differently.
36. Can you see why thumb-printing is a symbol? It is a symbol; the only universally acceptable signature in the world. The only acceptable signature that is universal is thumb-printing.
37. Thumbprint! There is no way another person can impersonate your thumb-printing. It is impossible. You do not have two. Even if you are born twins, your thumbprints differ. Check the marks on your palms. They differ.
38. You may have the same genotype, the same blood group, but there are some variations. Though you came out the same day as twins, you do not possess the same attributes.
39. One can be of Cain, while the other can be of Abel. One may be shorter than the other. One may be taller than the other. One may be bigger in physical appearance than the other.
40. There is no way there will not be a difference between one and the other, although they are born identical twins. Am I making sense?
41. Borrow a cue. There is a Brother in our midst who was blessed with twin daughters. If the twins should come out, you will see the difference.
42. One is taller than the other, bigger than the other, but they were born the same day. So it is also in the males. We have them amongst us.
43. I do not want to mention names, but you know all that are born twins among us. Can you not see the differences? Though they may look alike facially, but they do not act alike. Do they act alike? Do they have everything in common? Impossible!
44. SO, GOD MADE YOU A DIFFERENT MAN, WHILE HE MADE ME A DIFFERENT MAN, BUT UNITED US IN ONE SPIRIT.
45. I will not talk to you concerning spiritual realms because you are coming up, lest I destroy you midway.
46. THIS IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU CLIMB TO A HEIGHT WHERE YOU CANNOT SUSTAIN, YOU BECOME MAD. YOU BECOME A USELESS FELLOW.
47. That is why you see useless people today. They peeped into something they do not have the power to sustain and that is why they destroyed themselves and destroyed their future. They can never make any headway.
48. There are certain habits God fixed certain ages for you to indulge in. If you indulge in that habit prematurely, you destroy yourself.
49. You are likened to a little girl or a little boy who indulges in promiscuity at a tender age. At a tender age, she starts running around men. At a tender age, he starts running around women, girls and ladies at a tender age, not knowing that there is a certain age God fixed for it. Then he decided to go ahead of time.
50. He has acquired a spirit he can never get rid of. He can never get rid of it. That spirit will destroy him. That spirit will keep on haunting him all the days of his life. And when he grows to adolescence, that is where the trouble will be in its peak.
51. He can never have a place that will be called his own. He will be a fugitive and a wanderer all the days of his life. In short, a vagabond.
52. No matter how he tries to gather himself together, he will never succeed. Why? He ventured into a realm at a tender age; a realm that was not meant for that age.
53. FOR EVERY AGE, THERE IS A SPIRITUAL REALM. THAT IS HOW THE ALMIGHTY ARRANGED IT. EVERYTHING ABOUT HUMAN LIFE IS PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY CALIBRATED.
54. You know what I mean by calibration? You know what a cylinder is? Or you take your drugs. There are some drugs you will buy, and you see the cork [cover].
55. The cork is the measurement you will use to take the drugs. You will see how many milliliters you will be using. You will see 3ml, 4ml or 5ml calibrated on the cork. Have you ever observed it?
56. “At this age, you take this ml; if you are within this age you take this ml; if you are within this age you take this ml.”
57. What if you are seven years old, and you are to take 2ml, but you neglect the 2ml and then jump to take that of 21 years old? Have you not destroyed your life?
58. In short, you have committed suicide. You have destroyed your whole system because the drug is meant to keep you healthy, if you keep to the approved dosage meant for every age.
59. If somebody who is under-aged takes the dosage meant for adults, has he not destroyed his entire system and the entire future? The brain is gone. The heart is gone. Everything is gone.
60. That is why, when you get such drugs, it is written, “KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF LITTLE CHILDREN.” “Little children” means ignorant people and disobedient people, who cannot heed to advise; those who cannot pay heed to medical advice that is meant to secure their lives.
61. SO, PEOPLE ARE ROAMING THE STREETS AS VAGABONDS AND FUGITIVES OF ALL SORTS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY VENTURED TO PEEP INTO A REALM BEFORE THE RIPE AGE.
62. AND THEY WENT THERE AND GOT TRAPPED. THEY GOT TRAPPED, FOR YOU ARE AN INTRUDER INTO THAT SPIRIT.
63. Oh! Let Me cut it off. How I wish you are ripe for cosmic consciousness where I will elevate you to a point where you will be indestructible.
64. You do not just enter into that realm anyhow because it has its own rules and regulations. That is why, if you are not self-disciplined and spiritually sound, you do not venture into the things of the spirit.
65. For which cause the seven sons of Sceva paid dearly for it, for they were not spiritually mature to handle that type of level of deliverance.
66. 13Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 14And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 16And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. [Acts 19:13 – 16 KJV]
67. YOU MUST KNOW YOUR LEVEL OF FAITH AND THE LEVEL YOU HAVE ATTAINED IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO PEEP INTO CERTAIN AREAS OF LIFE.
There is nothing that will cut every occasion of the flesh if not the abundance of the Word of God in a man because it is the Word of God that will lift a standard in you against sin. The Word of God is your Shield and your Protector. Without the Word of God in you, dwelling in you richly and abundantly, you must always compromise your holy and highly calling in Christ. I know you have My doctrine which is the doctrine of Christ in your midst. They are in tapes. Some are books. You know that your calling in Christ; the bible described it as a holy and high calling, and that is why you must strive earnestly to make full proof of your ministry. You strive day and night.

GROW AND DEVELOP YOURSELF SPIRITUALLY [2]
You see this money, if you go to that message COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS, you will see where money comes from.
2. And that is why people that try to go there before the age, they die before they get the money. They die on the way without getting it.
3. And when they get it. They will spoil themselves. That money will destroy them. They will equally die.
4. This is because they did not wait. They were not properly tutored. They did not receive the right instruction. That is why the devil can never reveal the secret of how he wants to take away your life.
5. The devil wants to take away your life, but he can never reveal the secret to you. The devil will present you with a rosy picture of life while he has hidden beneath the poison that will take you out of the human race.
6. In many ways, the devil will take you out of the human race. If the devil will make you go mad; if the devil can spoil everything in your system and then render you useless, you become a good for nothing human being only to be eating, dressing well, talking and moving about, roaming the streets without achieving anything in life, has he not destroyed that person?
7. The devil can never allow you to get composed to do an honest thing that will help your life. When you are making a good plan for yourself and the future, that is the time the devil will come in.
8. ANY DAY YOU ARE THINKING RIGHTLY, THE DEVIL WILL COME IN THERE. WHEN YOU ARE THINKING WRONGLY, HE WILL SUPPLY YOU WITH MATERIALS, INFORMATION, SO THAT YOU DO NOT COME OUT FROM THAT DEVILISH REALM. YOU WILL RETAIN IT AND THEN REMAIN THERE FOR TOO LONG.
9. AND BY THE TIME YOU COME OUT, YOU LOSE CONNECTION FROM THE GODHEAD. YOU LOSE CONNECTION FROM THE RIGHT SPIRIT BECAUSE YOU HAVE RUMINATED IN THE WRONG SPIRIT FOR TOO LONG.
10. So, whatever you gathered there will never allow you to concentrate in anything that is honest, pure, holy and acceptable in the sight of God.
11. 8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. [Philippians 4:8 – 9 KJV]
12. That is why, for you to enter into spiritual realms, you MUST be taught, guided and then develop yourself in faith in Christ because it is very destructive; very very destructive.
13. UNTIL YOU ENTER INTO THE SPIRITUAL REALMS, YOU CAN NEVER BE SPIRITUALLY MATURE. THIS IS BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE YOU FIGHT THE GREATEST BATTLE.
14. Whatever you are using to fight the battle is information you are getting from the Messages, from the Scriptures, archaeological parchments and other ancient documents. You use the information to build some faith. That faith is okay, but it is not ripe for your translation.
15. IF YOU CANNOT BE TRANSLATED WHILE YOU ARE PRAYING, WHILE YOU ARE MEDITATING, IF YOU CANNOT BE TRANSLATED WHERE YOU CAN BE CATCHING GLIMPSES FROM ABOVE, FROM ANOTHER SPIRIT, YOU ARE NOT YET RIPE FOR IMMORTALITY.
16. You will, first of all, get translated here. Momentary translation will be taking place in your life. You will kneel down to pray, and while you are meditating and praying, before you know it, you are in another world.
17. You might not even open your mouth to talk. Because of this level you have elevated the Spirit of truth in you and what you are desiring to be; before you know it, a bright light, a bright cloud will overshadow you.
18. You will not know where you are. You are not sleeping. You will be communicating with angels. You will be communicating!
19. By the time you come out from it, in short, it will be as if you woke up from a dream. Yet, you were not asleep. You know you were not asleep and you could write verbatim all your experiences.
20. It may be very strange to you because you are not developing yourself very well. You allowed worldly things to fraught your heart.
21. WHEN YOU ALLOW WORLDLY THINGS TO BECLOUD YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS, YOUR MEDITATIONS WILL END IN THE WORLD.
22. Once you go to bed, your dreams will be worldly dreams. You gather yourself together and sit down, your meditations, your thoughts, everything you are ruminating on will be worldly, worldly, worldly, because you have not left the worldly realm; earthly realm. We call it the Third Realm.
23. In spiritual development, earthly realm is the Third Realm. When you are on the Third Realm, you are just like a child that is crawling. You are a toddler. You are just crawling. You have not started learning how to stand up.
24. You moved away from your mother’s hand to sitting down. From sitting down, you started learning how to crawl. That is where you are. You are still a babe. You are still taking feeding bottle; feeding bottle man or feeding bottle adult.
25. Begin to look at what it will look like when you go out with feeding bottle in your mouth; you go out with feeding bottle at your age. Your mother will prepare baby food for you, put it inside your bag which you will suck on the way.
26. You will be strapped on the back with a wrapper; a man that is up to thirty years. Your mother or father will carry you on their backs with a wrapper. They will prepare baby food and put in your back pack, “It is because of this baby that I am carrying on my back”. God forbid! Why not say God forbid! God forbid! But many are like that.
27. We have too many adults who are still feeding on feeding bottle; still depending on feeding bottle because they are not growing spiritually. They are not growing mentally, but they are only growing in stature.
28. WHEN YOU ARE GROWING IN STATURE AND YOU ARE NOT GROWING SPIRITUALLY, SURELY, YOU ARE A FEEDING BOTTLE BABY OR A FEEDING BOTTLE ADULT. SO THAT IS WHY YOU CANNOT CONQUER ANYTHING SPIRITUAL UNTIL YOU BECOME SPIRITUAL.
29. YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND THINGS THAT ARE SPIRITUAL UNTIL YOU ARE SPIRITUAL. SPIRITUALITY IS VERY VERY ESSENTIAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRUE SEED OF GOD.
30. The Lord Jesus saw carnality in them. He used natural examples to teach them, but they could not understand. He then retorted, “What is this? If I use everyday examples; things you can see, practice, you see people practicing it, everyday occurrences; things that are very much around you; the forests are there, the fowls of the air, animals in the forest, animals at home; I use everyday examples to talk to you and you cannot understand me, of what use is introducing spiritual things to you, for they [spiritual things] are spiritually discerned?”
31. [13]But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. [14]Let them alone, they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. [15]Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. [16]And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?[Matthew 15:13-15 KJV]
32. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV]
33. THIS MEANS THAT SPIRITUAL THINGS ARE MEANT FOR SPIRITUAL PEOPLE. NATURAL OR CARNAL THINGS ARE MEANT FOR NATURAL OR CARNAL PEOPLE.
34. Then, if God is a Spirit and those that will worship Him will worship Him in Spirit and in truth, how then do you want to apply carnality or natural things to the worship?
35. That is why people do not know when worship starts. They muddle things together. They do not know what it takes to separate spiritually and to grow in the spirit.
36. 23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. [John 4:23 – 24 KJV]
37. When the Bible said, you must grow in the spirit and in the knowledge of God, do you think that God does not know what He is saying?
38. IF YOU ARE NOT GROWING SPIRITUALLY, YOU ARE GROWING CARNALLY; YOU ARE GROWING NATURALLY, WHICH IS COMMON TO ALL MEN;
39. To eat, look good and grow; you are growing in stature. You are growing in the knowledge of natural things which your eyes can see, your ears can hear, your mouth can proclaim, your hands can reach and your legs can reach. But spiritual things are discerned.
40. That is why Saint Paul grew to that point where he said, “Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard what God prepared for those who will serve Him faithfully till the end”.
41. He said, “But with the eyes of revelation, with the eyes of the spirit, we have seen everything. And for the joy that awaits us, we die every day; ready to sacrifice everything we have in this life for the excellency that is in Christ, and for the glory that shall be revealed to us; the crown we shall get when we get there.”
42. [9]But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. [10]But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things in God. [11]For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. [1 Corinthians 2:9-11 KJV]
43. [18]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.[Romans 8:18 KJV]
44. But a natural man cannot see it, for he limits himself to natural things. He cannot have spiritual perception of heavenly things.
45. SO, WHEN WE SAY GLIMPSES OF HEAVEN, YOU MUST BE HERE ON EARTH AND BEGIN TO CATCH THE GLIMPSES.
46. SO, THE HIGHER YOU DEVELOP YOURSELF SPIRITUALLY, THE MORE YOU CAN RESIST THE PRESSURES OF NATURE. I HOPE AM MAKING SENSE?
47. IF YOU ARE NOT DEVELOPING SPIRITUALLY, YOU CAN NEVER RESIST THE PRESSURES OF NATURE, FOR NATURE MOUNTS PRESSURE ON EVERY HUMAN BEING. EVERY DAY, WHAT WILL BE CLOUDING YOUR MIND IS MEANS OF SURVIVAL HERE ON EARTH.
48. YOU CAN SURVIVE HERE ON EARTH AND PERISH IN CHRIST. BUT IT IS BETTER YOU SURVIVE IN CHRIST SO THAT YOU CAN SUBDUE THE EARTH.
49. IF YOU ARE NOT STRONG IN THE SPIRIT, YOU CAN NEVER SUBDUE THE WORLD. YOU CAN NEVER PUT THE WORLD UNDER YOUR FOOTSTOOL.
50. RATHER, THE WORLD WILL PUT YOU UNDER ITS FOOTSTOOL AND TRAMPLE UPON YOU; FOR THE WORLD HAS EXERTED MUCH MORE POWER OVER YOU THAN THE SPIRIT. AND THAT IS WHY, IN THAT REALM, WE SAY THAT THAT PERSON IS EARTHLY BOUND.
What is more? Whatever happens here, God permitted it. That is why we are children of God. God will use us to test His power. Satan will also use us to test his power. We are testing instrument in the hand of God and in the hand of Satan. There is nothing that happens here that God does not know. If God fails to allow that Satan to come, how will you know anything called temptation or trial? A little while, God will withdraw Himself from His own child; God will leave His child; He will come out completely so that you will see how carnal you are. More especially when you think it now okay for you; that you are now perfect, God will allow you to see how “perfect” you are.

ARE YOU HEAVENLY BOUND OR EARTHLY BOUND?
If you watch what I will use as example now; have you seen an eagle before? Okay. Have you seen a dove? Okay. You see all these doves we see around here; I think you see them? Good!
2. Do you compare them to a domestic fowl? The domestic fowl has wings, has feathers like the birds. Can any domestic fowl fly from here to Prime Bus stop? Can any fly even from here to Emmanuel Lodge? I mean from here across the gate? Can a domestic fowl try it? Why? It is not a heavenly bird.
3. We have heavenly birds. And we have earthly birds. Heavenly birds have very strong wings. They have strong muscles; they have very big hearts.
4. If you watch all the birds you kill in the forest, watch their hearts. They are very strong. Watch their wings. They are very powerful, for they are built that way because they fly long distances.
5. An eagle can fly from here to Abuja without stopping. An eagle can fly from Onitsha to Sokoto without making any stop over. And an eagle does not perch on a lower tree. It perches on top of very tall trees.
6. The wings are powerful. The heart is very strong. The body is strongly built. Did you get the Message? Can you compare it to ordinary bush fowl which is a little higher than the domestic fowl? I hope am making sense now?
7. There is one other bird I do not know what they call it in English. They call it cattle egret. It is white, and it comes out during harmattan. Do you people see it?
8. It can fly from here to the utmost part of the earth without stopping. The wings are powerful. The muscles are powerful.
9. Now what am I saying? When we say you are earthly bound, if you watch the fowl, it can leap. It can fly from here to that window and land again because the eyes are always on the ground. It is looking for what she will eat. Is it not true?
10. So, many people are likened to that domestic fowl. They have wings, they have feathers. They look like heavenly birds, but they are not heavenly birds; they are earthly bound creatures.
11. Eagles do not die on the ground. They die on top of trees. If they want to have their accident, they have it in the midair. That is where they fix their affection. That is where their eyes are.
12. But all these earthly bound birds, these are the ones that fly and move about in the compound. Children can use catapult to kill them. You can catch them with your hands. You can set a trap for them. Can you set a trap for an eagle? Where are you going to place that trap?
13. SO, ANYBODY WHO IS BEING TRAPPED IN THIS WORLD THROUGH EARTHLY THINGS OR EARTHLY MATERIAL PLEASURES IS EARTHLY BOUND.
14. WHOEVER THAT GOES TO BED AND DOES NOT MAKE WHAT WE CALL ASTRAL PROJECTION, TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION THAT WILL LIFT THE SPIRIT UP, IS EARTHLY BOUND. THE EARTH HAS GREATER PRESSURE TO PULL YOU DOWN. AM I MAKING SENSE?
15. The gravitational pull is here on the earth. That is why for any aeroplane to take off in the air, it must conquer the gravitational pull; gravitational force.
16. When you climb up that tank now, and look down, you will notice that there is something that is trying to pull you down. Is it a lie?
17. Mount on top of a cliff and watch where you took off. There is something that is pulling you. You will notice that you can come down faster than you climbed.
18. To come down is very easy because you are obeying the law of gravity. That is what is pulling you. There is a magnetic force that is pulling you down, for you are not heavenly bound. You climbed by dint of your industry and skill. And then courage is what you need to climb.
19. When you are climbing, you will notice that you are losing strength. So it is when you are approaching the spiritual realm and you want to climb.
20. Let Me give you for example: When you climb a hill, do you get strength? You lose strength. Sometimes, midway, you stop and then regain yourself before you continue your journey. But when you are descending, you can run one-way.
21. SO, THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE MORE YOU ARE SEPARATED FROM THE EARTH. SO, YOU GROW SPIRITUALLY.
22. THE MORE YOU ARE GROWING SPIRITUALLY, THE MORE THE THINGS OF THE EARTH ARE GRADUALLY VACATING FROM YOUR SYSTEM, FROM YOUR MIND AND FROM YOUR DESIRE.
23. You will be in the position to place things where they belong to. What troubles others will no longer trouble you because you are now in another world, operating in another spiritual realm.
24. Like I told you. It is from one stage to another. The stage where you are now is not enough. There is nobody here I can see that can be translated even this morning. That is why I am building faith in you. When you arrive where you will be translated, you will know.
25. You are still battling with too many things within you. There are too many things you have not solved within you. Things pertaining to you and things pertaining to your relationship with people. You have not solved many of them.
26. So, that is why, when I introduce you to the spiritual realm, there is a realm where you will enter, you will forget this world, and forget about yourself.
27. Any time you jam this world while progressing, you become mad or you become useless. Your brain will shatter. You will not be a complete human being again because you have destroyed yourself by peeping into a zone that is not meant for you, for you are not preparing for it. You must prepare for it.
28. I am trying to hint something because that is the essence of keeping all of you together all this while, pumping the Teachings and the Messages in every heart, so that your heart and your mind will not have any room to ruminant on anything contrary to the truth.
29. This is to bring you to one focus, everybody, where then I can inject something in you. Once I inject it, you become a different human being. You will have little or no desire for the things of this world.
30. But for now, acquisition of the things of this world is dominating your hearts and your minds. Many are regretting the schools that are closing. They say they are writing their exams. We are waiting for them to write; when they are going to register a colossal failure.
31. Somebody who never read, and who never got prepared, but you want him to go into the exam hall to go and write WAEC? What is he going to write? When did he prepare for it? Somebody that left the classroom since February is going to write exam in August. Is it possible?
32. They are making a mockery of the examination, unless they have decided to award them marks which they never scored, just to make sure that they wrote the exams or nominal representation of the year’s examination because it is West Africa.
33. So, whoever that is stipulating that the exams will be written is a mad fellow; real mad fellow. That person is reducing the worth of education to zero. That person is reducing the value of education to zero.
34. How can you allow somebody that you never instructed to go and write exam? An exam that will qualify you for university admission?
35. SO, WE BETTER TAKE NOTE OF WHAT GOD IS SAYING. IF YOU REGRETTING THE HOUR YOU ARE IN, YOU ARE A PART OF THIS WORLD. BUT IF THE HOUR WE ARE IN IS GIVING YOU JOY, YOU ARE HEAVENLY BOUND. THAT IS HOW YOU WILL KNOW IT.
36. Anybody who is feeling uncomfortable because of the distress of the world where we are in; and that is what makes you uncomfortable; you do not have time to flourish in your business, flourish in your school, in earthly things, then you are earthly bound. You are earthly bound.
37. If the earth was not put in this condition, there is no way our spirit could be trained and instructed to come to the height where we are. Is it a lie?
38. If not for the trouble that had befallen the world, would we have attained the spiritual height we have today? It is not everybody though.
39. Some people are crying every day that God has brought evil upon them. God has brought evil upon them. The evil He [God] did to them is that he turned the world upside down.
40. Such people are imagining what they could have been by now. But they are not imagining that they could have died by now. What he is seeing is what he could have been by now, but he does not see that he could have also been in the grave by now.
41. Remember that coffins are still being sold out there. Are coffins no longer in the market? Are there no more people making them? Graves are still available. As long as caskets [coffins] are being constructed and displayed for sale, death holds sway over all men. True or false?
42. SO, WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT LIFE, REMEMBER DEATH. WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SUCCESS, REMEMBER FAILURE. WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SPIRITUALITY, WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT CARNALITY. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT WORLDLY AFFAIRS. THERE IS EVERY NEED FOR THE SPIRIT TO BE NURTURED.
43. If you do not nurture a plant by watering it and taking care of the plant you planted in your farm, can it grow? Can it bear good fruits?
44. SO YOU HAVE TO NURTURE THE SPIRIT. THE MORE YOU NURTURE THE SPIRIT, THE WEAKER THE FLESH WILL BE. AM I MAKING SENSE? REMEMBER YOU CAN NEVER DRAW CLOSER TO GOD CARNALLY.
45. WITH THE FLESH YOU CAN NEVER COME NEAR GOD. YOU DRAW NEARER TO GOD SPIRITUALLY. YOU HOOK UP TO GOD SPIRITUALLY.
46. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. ……. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. [Romans 3:20& 28 KJV]
47. And that is where I cut Ministers off. When I notice where they are heading to [they are growing carnally; they are growing more carnally than spiritually], I will dissociate Myself from whatever they are doing.
48. I will cut them off immediately, because they are filling their hearts with carnality. And that is why they are idle and unprofitable in all things.
49. So, people that do not know where I am having problems with them might be thinking there is something else we are dragging. We are not dragging anything, but I am severing Myself from you.
50. A heavenly bound bird can never interact with a domestic bird. Have you even seen an eagle, I mean, in the same roost with the fowl? Can it happen? An eagle sharing the same roost with the fowl?
51. Even common birds in the forest cannot share their nest with ordinary fowl. Can it happen? It cannot. They look alike, but they are two different species. One is heavenly bound, while the other one is earthly bound.
52. ANYBODY WHO IS FILLED WITH SENSUAL MATTERS AND CARNAL MATTERS, OF COURSE, ALL THE DISCUSSIONS, THE MIND, THE TARGET AND EVERYTHING IS CARNALITY; EARTHLY!
53. EARTHLY, BECAUSE ONCE YOU ARE EARTHLY, EARTHLY THINGS MUST CONSTANTLY ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION. AM I MAKING SENSE?
54. If you are heavenly, heavenly things will attract your attention. That is why God enjoins us, if we have the Spirit of Christ, we should seek the things that are above. Did He say things that are on earth?
55. 1IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], AIM AT AND SEEK THE [RICH, ETERNAL TREASURES] THAT ARE ABOVE, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
56. 2AND SET YOUR MINDS AND KEEP THEM SET ON WHAT IS ABOVE (THE HIGHER THINGS), NOT ON THE THINGS THAT ARE ON THE EARTH. [Colossians 3:1 – 2 AMP]
57. EARTHLY POSSESSIONS ARE TRAPS SET BY THE DEVIL TO TIE YOU DOWN. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
58. Nobody can set such a trap for an eagle, for an eagle does not eat of anything that is dropped on the ground. An eagle feeds on seeds and you know where the seed is found? On the topmost part of every tree where the tree flowers. That is where you will see the seeds. That is where the eagle is.
59. An eagle does not eat like a crow. An eagle is not a crow. You can see everything, but it is difficult to see an eagle’s nest. That is why people can never climb to catch eagle.
60. Nobody can predict precisely where an eagle passes its night or where an eagle stays in the day. You cannot predict accurately.
61. That is why those that seek the Lord will renew their strength. They will fly like what? Like eagle! They will fly like what? An Eagle! They fix their eyes on things that are on high. You fix your eyes on the sparrow.
62. You can never see a sparrow on earth perching here. A sparrow fixes its beak; its everything on high. You move to higher ground where there will be no doubt; no fears
… your weakest point is where to expect the greatest battle day and night. Satan is always at work. He is not resting. Somebody somewhere has vowed that until you die, he will not rest. You may not see him physically, but he is somewhere day and night, not resting. And this is why you are passing through whatever you are passing through, both in your secular life, your business life and in your spiritual life.
SPIRITUAL REALM Volume 1: Preached on 16th July 1995; Pg. 41 vs. 18 – 19
4
IMMORTALITY IS THE GARMENT FOR SPIRITUALITY
UNTIL YOU CROSS THAT REALM WHERE THERE IS NO DOUBT, THERE IS NO FEAR, YOU ARE STILL EARTHLY BOUND. YOU ARE STILL EARTHLY BOUND, WHICH MEANS THAT PARADISE IS NOT FOR YOU.
2. THIS IS BECAUSE NOBODY CAN BE IN PARADISE EXCEPT ONE THAT IS CLOTHED WITH IMMORTALITY. AND IMMORTALITY IS THE GARMENT FOR SPIRITUALITY. I SAY, THE GARMENT FOR SPIRITUALITY IS WHAT? IMMORTALITY. IT IS A SPIRITUAL GARMENT.
3. It is not the one your tailors will prepare for you like cherubim and seraphim or Sabbath or our Muslim Brothers. No! That one fades away. It is man-made. It is made of wool or fine linen. It expires. It can tear. It can go threadbare.
4. BUT THE ONE THAT IS REVEALED TO US IS A SUPERNATURAL WHITE DRESS THAT CAN NEVER BE DIRTY; THAT CAN NEVER GO THREADBARE. NO TAILOR WILL MEND IT. EVERYONE WILL GET HIS OWN SIZE ACCORDING TO THE SIZE OF THE BODY.
5. You can never amend your own. It is your own and it is a permanent wear; not something you will wear when you remove it today, tomorrow you will buy another one. No! It is a permanent wear, and it is a uniform for the saved that will be in the Kingdom of Heaven.
6. The Bible said that we shall be clad with white garment; a representation of the righteousness of the saints.
7. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: FOR THE FINE LINEN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SAINTS. [Revelation 19:8 KJV]
8. Immaculate white that can never be dirty for one day; that can never tear, can never grow old and can never expire.
9. SONG: [Never grow old; never grow old in the land where we never grow old. Never grow old; Never grow old in the land where we never grow old]
10. The old shall be younger there forever; transformed in a moment of an eye. So, begin to develop spiritually where earthly things will be placed where they belong to under your footstool where you will be the controller. That is what I mean.
11. To place something under your footstool means to place you above that thing; make you a controller over that thing; make you to have dominion over that thing. Is it not true?
12. When Bible said, “Do not allow sin [unbelief] to have dominion over you”, which means you will trample it under your feet; You will grow and dominate that thing that is about to dominate you.
13. Have dominion, subdue the earth and put it under your footstool. Place it where it belongs to. Do not allow the earth to have dominion over you.
14. Once earthly things; earthly material possessions possess you, you are gone. You will never think about anything that is spiritual again. And you will never grow again in the spirit because earthly things have dominated you. They have dominion over you.
15. That is another way of telling you that sin is still holding grip over you. Sin is still holding grip over you. You are still earthly bound.
16. Things concerning this earth; the affairs of this world are still giving you sleepless nights. You are still giving thoughts; even all your thoughts to the affairs of this life:
17. What you will eat; what you will drink; the house you will build; the motor you will buy; the industry you will have; this and that; instead of placing them where they belong to.
18. ANYBODY WHO IS BEEN TROUBLED BY THE AFFAIRS OF THIS PRESENT WORLD DOES NOT BELONG TO HEAVEN.THE PERSON IS NOT A HEAVENLY BOUND BEING, FOR YOU MUST GO WHERE YOU BELONG TO.
19. WHERE YOUR SPIRIT MERITS YOU OR WHERE YOUR FAITH MERITS YOU IS WHERE YOU WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO.
20. IF YOUR LEVEL OF FAITH CANNOT CROSS EARTHLY THINGS, YOU ARE EARTHLY TRAPPED. THAT IS WHERE YOU WOULD END YOUR JOURNEY. THEN ON THE RESURRECTION MORNING, YOU WILL BE DESTROYED WITH THE EARTH; AND WITH ALL YOUR MATERIAL POSSESSIONS THAT KEPT YOU EARTH BOUND, YOU WILL GO TO HELL.
21. THIS IS BECAUSE THE AIM OF THE DEVIL IS TO BEAUTIFY THE WORLD AND EARTHLY THINGS HERE USING THEM TO TRAP YOUR SOUL HERE SO THAT YOUR SOUL WILL NOT FIND ITS WAY BACK TO ITS MAKER. IS IT NOT TRUE?
22. 39[Iblîs (Satan)] said: “O my Lord! Because you misled me, I shall indeed adorn the path of error for them (mankind) on the earth, and I shall mislead them all. 40“Except Your chosen, (guided) slaves among them.” [Surah 15:39 – 40. Hilali-Khan]
23. THERE IS NOBODY WHO HOLDS ON TO THE WORLD’S AFFAIRS AND THE SOUL EVER FINDS ITS WAY BACK TO THE MAKER. IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE! SO, IT IS WHEN YOU ARE AWAY FROM THE EARTH THAT YOU ARE AT HOME WITH THE SPIRIT.
24. WHEN YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY BOUND BY THE CORD OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THERE IS NO MAGNET HERE ON EARTH THAT CAN ATTRACT YOU; OR THAT CAN PULL YOU DOWN.
25. So, that is why I want you to grow in the Spirit, in the knowledge of God; And then grow in dedications and meditations.
26. Then do not do ordinary mediation where you kneel down, and after one minute, you get up. You go to bed, you think. Instead of praying, you are thinking.
27. Many do not pray. They may kneel down, instead of praying, they are thinking. At the end of the day, they say, “In the Name of Christ our Lord”; after thinking. God did not say you should think. He said you should pray.
28. When Jesus Christ prayed, He left the human realm. When saint Paul prayed, he left the human realm. Nobody ever prays and God accepted the prayers in the human realm.
29. You must leave the human realm and go to the supernatural realm where God operates. Then God will hook up with you.
30. That is why the Bible said, “Oftentimes, we do not know what to pray for. The Spirit will now hook up and do the praying for us, presenting all we are, and all we need to the presence of The Almighty.”
31. That is when you have developed your spirit to that height where the spirit will now make intercession for you, for the Spirit maketh intercessions for us. Can the Spirit make intercession when you are not spiritual?
32. Many of us, the earth is making intercession. The Earth is pleading that you should remain here, and that you should not go anywhere. The devil is using the earth to trap you, make you earth bound. And God is saying, “No. You are heavenly bound.”
33. And He showed us the way we can progress spiritually until we see ourselves transformed and translated, putting on immortality like The Lord Jesus Christ who was born here a human being, lived his life here a human being, died a human being, but resurrected in power, for the earth never held him captive, for he was away from the earth. And He should be our example in all things.
34. With these few Words of exhortation, I want us to complete the message we have been listening to, OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF IMMORTALITY. Obey the Words of The SON OF MAN and be sure and certain of immortality. This is the last lap. Give ear to it.
35. IMMORTALITY IS A SPIRITUAL AFFAIR. IT IS NOT A CARNAL AFFAIR. AND IT IS THE LEVEL YOUR FAITH TAKES YOU THAT WILL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU WILL HAVE THAT IMMORTALITY OR NOT.
36. YOU CANNOT MARRY THE EARTH AND ITS AFFAIRS AND TALK OF IMMORTALITY, FOR THERE IS NOTHING IMMORTAL HERE ON EARTH.
37. Everything on earth is mortal and God wants a mortal man to become immortal, for there was a time Jesus was mortal. He was conceived mortal, born mortal and He attained immortality.
38. And through the teachings of Christ, the preaching of the gospel of Christ, immortality has been brought into focus.
39. We can now see immortality; God displaying immortality; I mean the immortal God displaying immortality through the preaching of THE SON OF MAN. True or false?
40. If it is not displayed, we would not have captured Him in the camera. Look up to this pulpit and then you can see what is there. You can see a human being there.
41. For God has been a human being from the beginning; a human being that was conceived of a woman, born by a woman, nurtured by a family, grew up to the point that immortality is now dwelling in Him.
42. So, God wants this immortality to dwell in all of us. This is that same Sovereign Spirit that caused Him to be The Resurrected Body.
43. If you have this Spirit, you can be sure of immortality. But where this Spirit is not there because you have fraught your heart and filled your heart with earthly thoughts and earthly things; your desires earthly and everything earthly, it then means you are an earth bound human being.
44. Once you are heavenly bound, you have less affection for the things of this world. Only then can you be sure that you are really in Him Who is immortal. You are in Him Who is immortal. Amen.
45. So, let us listen to the message, OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF IMMORTALITY.
12Acknowledgment of your error makes you great, it makes you courageous. Resist acknowledging your error and you will die in your error. For there is no way you can be corrected when you have not accepted that you are wrong. 13if God finds you guilty, you are guilty until God sets you free. That is why if you are a seed of God, at all times, you must find out where God is holding you guilty. Until you discover it, the remedy will not come.
ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE CLOUD OR FOLLOWING THE CROWD PART 1: Preached on Sunday 7th August, 2016; Pg. 29 vs. 12 – 13

OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF IMMORTALITY
WE ARE SAVED WHEN WE HOLD UNTO THE WORDS OF GOD: Pg. 164 vs. 48. When you hear that God’s Nature is your ticket to paradise, stop joking with it. Amen!
2. Pg. 165 vs. 51. If I am a Father to Wisdom, My interest is his interest, My delight is his delight. What I hate, he hates. My target is his target. This is because he cannot do otherwise. Sure!
3. 52Even if he tries to do otherwise, there is no way he can do it because what is in him will not permit him to do it. Amen!
4. Is it not in agreement with what I was saying now? Whatever a snake begets must be long. Is there a time the snake can beget a rat? Can a rat beget a pussy cat?
5. Even if he tries to do otherwise, there is no way he can do it because what is in him will not permit him to do it.
6. He will know that he is here as an object, as a human being God decided to produce to use him to demonstrate something, for they are here for demonstrations. No more. No less. They are icons. They are what? Icons! Examples!
7. AT EVERY STAGE YOU FIND YOURSELF, YOU ARE AN EXAMPLE TO THAT AGE BRACKET.
8. If you say that it is impossible for the youths to serve God, God will present the youths that are serving Him, I mean, in the acceptable way. You say that adults cannot serve God, God will present adults.
9. Even if he tries to do otherwise, there is no way he can do it because what is in him will not permit him to do it for he that is in him is stronger than the temptation.
10. Look at the man that is in Me. He is stronger and more powerful than the trial, than the temptation,… Amen!…than that seductive spirit that will seduce me into evil. Yes!
11. What is upholding Me is greater than that. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world…
12. That is one that is heavenly bound. The hand upholding him is greater than the pull; the force that is trying to pull him down. He will not allow me to fall. He is holding me in the hollow of His hand. His mighty hands will give Me victory. The strong arms of the Lord give us the victory. Is it not true?
13. Even The Son of Man. He is being protected by the Right Hand of Majesty Who made Him strong so that He will help the Elect to worship God rightly. So, for that reason, He placed Him in the right position.
14. 17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon THE SON OF MAN whom thou madest strong for thyself. 18So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. [Psalms 80:17 – 18]
15. Greater is He that is in Me than He that is in the world. He that is in the world is the attraction. The aim is to lure me out. But He that is in me is by far greater than he that is inspiring the attraction and he is more than able to keep me. Amen!
16. The world is full of attraction. And the Bible said in the Book of John that the world will go where the attraction is; the Bride will go where the Bridegroom is. The Bridegroom is in heaven; the Bride is heading there.
17. [29] The crowds will naturally go to the main attraction-the bride will go where the bridegroom is! A bridegroom’s friends rejoice with him. I am the Bridegroom’s friend, and I am filled with joy at his success.[John 3:29 LB]
18. The world is earthly; the world will go where the attraction is, for the attraction is the earth. Earthly things the devil used to tempt the Lord Jesus Christ, the same thing he is using to tempt everybody today. Is it not true?
19. 13Enter through the narrow gate; FOR WIDE IS THE GATE AND SPACIOUS AND BROAD IS THE WAY THAT LEADS AWAY TO DESTRUCTION, AND MANY ARE THOSE WHO ARE ENTERING THROUGH IT. [Matthew 7:13 AMP]
20. Watch what is surging there. The crowd is surging there. Our message is of heaven, and that is why only heavenly bound people can listen to us, believe in us, accept us and practice what we preach.
21. Anybody that is not heavenly will acknowledge it to be true, but will never practice it, for if he practices it, he will deny himself of the things of the world.
22. Anybody who is not practicing this Faith, the reason is because of earthly things; the world is still holding him captive. He has never been liberated.
23. That is why he is having difficulties putting the Word of God into action, because he is still earthly bound. His thoughts are earthly; his character earthly; his eyes earthly; everything earthly. That is why you see complaining and murmuring.
24. Where do you see injustice? Is it in heaven? It is here on earth, for which cause people grumble and murmur because they are earthly bound.
25. If your life is filled with murmuring and complaining and grumbling, you are earthly bound. You are earthly. You are earthly bound. If you are having your affections on things that are in this world, you are earthly bound. I say, you are earthly bound.
26. The crowd will go where the attraction is. The Bride is not the crowd. The Bride will go where the Bridegroom is.
27. THEN, ANYBODY THAT IS EARTHLY BOUND IS FOLLOWING THE CROWD. ONE THAT IS HEAVENLY BOUND IS FOLLOWING THE CLOUD. SO, YOU ARE EITHER FOR THE CROWD OR FOR THE CLOUD.
28. You cannot be the two at the same time. You cannot be the two at the same time. You cannot go after material pleasure and get eternal life. Impossible!
29. That is why, if you are a seed of God, the Lord will only permit you to get the little from the world that will help you not to compromise with the earth to the point of being trapped.
30. Hence, we say in our SONG: [This sinful world can never hold me. Any moment I will go. I have made my consecration, and I have my wedding garment on]
31. BUT THE SINFUL WORLD IS STILL HOLDING MANY CAPTIVE. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THEM, YOU KNOW.
32. We labour with our hands. We toil the much God permits us to toil. We know the amount of time we allot to earthly things to enable us get what we will use to eat and to survive. And the Lord has been providing it for us.
33. If He wanted us to possess the whole world, He would not have taught us to pray thus: “Give us this day, our daily bread.” He did not say, “Give us the world as our estate.” For wherever a man’s treasure is, that is where his heart is.
34. And God said, “Store your treasure,” where? “In heaven!” Where there will be no regrets; no armed robbery. It can never grow old; it can never expire. No Custom Officer will seize it. Government will not penalize you; nobody!
35. 33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. [Luke 12:33 – 34 NIV]
36. But you are storing all your treasures here on earth. And because your treasures are on earth, there is always a pull, pulling you to where your treasure is. Is it not true?
37. In the attempt to protect your earthly treasures, you lose heavenly grip. You lose grip of heaven for you cannot possess the earth and possess heaven. It is impossible. Am I making sense?
38. Isaiah 48:6 AMP. You have heard [these things foretold], now you see this fulfillment. And will you not bear witness to it? I show you specified new things from this time forth, even hidden things [kept in reserve] which you have not known. [AMP].
39. Amen! Like this morning you are hearing what God is saying. Going by what we are hearing this morning, who is ripe for translation? I say who is ripe for translation?
40. You are preparing yourselves for translation and that is the last work, for you to be a part of the translation, you must have escaped from the evil that is in this world through lust; Having escaped the corruption that is in this world through lust. Is it not true?
41. You can see it in the Book of 2ndPeter, ‘To the elect that have escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust’.
42. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that BY THESE YE MIGHT BE PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE, HAVING ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION THAT IS IN THE WORLD THROUGH LUST. [2nd Peter 1:4 KJV]
43. Can’t you see the corruption that is in this world? What am I trying to say? All of us can bear witness that there has never been any event here on earth that has taken us unawares.
44. Before that thing will come to pass, God would have already told us ahead of time; what to expect and what we shall meet on the way. Is it not true?
45. This hardship we are in now, The Lord saw it in 1993 in the Message, SIGNS OF OUR TIME. He said, “Government must increase our hardship. The moment it starts, it will never go down.”
46. As at that time, we were buying babies’ milk at One Naira Fifty kobo (N1.50) a tin. God said that you must buy it at Ten Naira(N10). From Ten Naira to Twenty Naira. From Twenty Naira to Thirty Naira and you continue until the hand of the poor cannot buy baby’s milk.
47. Has it not come to pass? Every brand of babies’ milk is now Two Thousand; Three Thousand; even Eight Thousand. Can the poor buy it?
48. When they noticed that it is becoming more and more exorbitant, doctors now decided to come back to nature again advising women to do exclusive breastfeeding because they cannot afford to buy it.
49. Exclusive breastfeeding is to weaken the woman so that she will reduce the number of children she will have because breastfeeding saps the strength of the woman.
50. When the woman becomes flabby, no strength again; she cannot continue to raise children as if she is hatching eggs. You will now be raising the much you can take care of. Otherwise, the hen that lays the golden egg will die and then the chickens will also die.
51. That is the idea. It is a part of family planning. Instead of using milk so that the mother will continue to look strong and healthy and will continue to raise children every year. But now, if you use your life; use your blood to breastfeed three or four children, you must be weak.
52. No woman will do it without becoming weak. She will look older than her age. She will look like ordinary rag. When you mention pregnancy before her, she will run away. It is a part of family planning.
53. I mean that whatever we are passing through now, God earlier announced it. Even this COVID-19; did you read it in the Bible? No! THE SON OF MAN proclaimed all. Everything we are passing through at every stage, we must have heard about it long, long time ago.
54. Who is that God that will tell you things that are yet to come? Who is that God that will predict the future for you; that will tell you where you are heading to, and before you know it, you will jam it? He will tell you precautions you should take. Refuse to take the precautions, and you will run neck deep into it. Am I making sense?
55. You cannot believe what I am saying until you run into it. It happened to Pastor Chibuzor at Nsukka. I prepared him. I spoke with him over and over. He heard it. My wife cemented it when she got there. Look at how I brought My children up.
56. I never allowed My wife to suffer at night because I know she suffers terribly in the day to take care of these children.
57. In the night, whenever she delivers a new baby, I will be in charge of that baby every night. Her duty is to breastfeed, change the napkins. I do the carrying of the baby.
58. I noticed it when we had our first baby, Ijeoma. She was breastfeeding, but being a first timer who had no experience, she dozed off. The baby fell off from her hand.
59. But because I was wide awake, I dived and collected the baby and then tapped her shoulders. She did not know that the baby fell off and she should not be blamed. Ijeoma was about one month and two weeks old. I carried her.
60. From that time till we stopped having children, I became the nurse that takes care of them every night. Even when they are sick, I am sick also with them.
61. I will help her so that she can go and sleep. I will be monitoring them till daybreak. That is the duty of a Father. You relieve the burden of your wife in the night so that she can, at least, pass two hours’ sleep.
62. I prepared him. Bro Chidubem does that. Brother Rotimi does that. Ideal fathers do that; even to give them drugs, to bathe them, to dab them when they are feeling hot. That is the father. The father does not sleep in the night.
63. I cannot remember, when we were having infants, when My wife entered the kitchen to boil hot water in the midnight. It was My responsibility.
64. I will simply enter the kitchen no matter the time of the night, light the stove, boil water, fill the flask and everything. This is because, often times, we exhaust everything in the night, depending on the small capacity of the flask we were using as at that time.
65. This family never started on a platter of gold. No. We took off from nowhere. We took off from one room to two rooms to three, three to four, to where we are now.
66. THERE IS NO STAGE OF SUFFERING I NEVER PASSED THROUGH AND THAT IS WHY I AM A COUNSELLOR TO ALL.
67. That is why there is no type of food I do not know how to prepare. I prepare every kind of dish. Be it local or European, I prepare all. I am never afraid. I am never tired.
68. Whereas the Son of God was born directly into His earthly Mission, THE SON OF MAN had to traverse a far wider sphere before He could enter into the beginning of His actual Mission. As a condition for the fulfillment of His task, which in comparison to that of the Son of God was more earthly, THE SON OF MAN, coming as He did from the highest Heights, also had to descend into the deepest depths. Not only in the beyond but also here on earth, so that He might personally “experience” all the misery and suffering of mankind. Only then will He be in the position, when His Hour comes, to intervene effectively in their shortcomings and help to bring about change. [ABD-RU-SHIN: ―In the Light of Truth”, The Grail Message. Page 463]
69. All these youths that are marrying today, all they know is, ‘My woman’, ‘My wife’ and developing pot belly. That is rubbish!
70. To nurse a child is not easy, especially when you are coming up in life. He [Pastor Chibuzor] was there and the wife was nursing the baby in the midnight. Your mother in-law is in another room and you are in the same room with your wife and your baby. He neglected My advice, and the wife being a first timer slept off.
71. The baby fell off from the shoulder where she was sitting inside a plastic chair, the type I sit on. The father was there. I ran mad with him.
72. They called Me midnight and My phone woke Me up. I knew there was a problem when I heard the voice of My wife crying. Then God helped Me to arrest the situation that night with the help of My wife.
73. Yesterday, they went to hospital. As God would have it, there is no damage and then they received medical attention and came back. A baby that was only one month and two days old.
74. A month and two days, for this incident happened on the 28th of this month[July] while the baby was born on the 26th of last month [June]. 26th! Can you imagine? A month and two days!
75. I called Bro Chibuzor, “Did I not warn you? Did I not brief you? Did I not train you? When your wife had not even put to bed, I told you all these things. When she put to bed, I rehearsed it verbatim.”
76. My wife confirmed it to be true. “Has it not come to pass?” He said, “Daddy, I am sorry. ”I told him, “You are sorry for yourself. Kill your first baby and see whether you will get another baby that will be of the same age with this one.”
77. That you gave birth to too many children, you can never give birth to a baby that is exactly the same age with the one that died. It can never happen.
78. And once you see their age mates, you will remember your dead child. Once you see the age mates of your child that passed away, tears must drop from your eyes. Then you [will] remember what you should have done which you did not do that led to your child’s death.
79. I remember here in Onitsha. One of our Pastors lost his first daughter because of that type of incident also. And he has never forgotten it.
80. The wife has been declaring herself guilty even till today. Though they have other children, but they will never have one that is of the same age with that one.
81. So we give God the glory. God, Who prepared you ahead of time, knows what lies ahead. That is why, if you neglect My counsel, you will run headlong into trouble.
82. YOU CANNOT NEGLECT THE COUNSEL OF GOD WITHOUT LANDING INTO TROUBLE WHERE YOU WILL REGRET YOUR LIFE.
17They were accused of not willing to be influenced by the customs, culture and tradition of communities where they sojourned temporarily and for that they were declared undesirable elements. 18No true child of God walks by sight but by divine revelation. 19Any true child of God that is influenced away from his or her conviction of what he or she knows to be the truth. from God on any matter; be it conduct, order or doctrine, must have walked by sight and no longer by divine revelation! 20You cannot desire or imitate the world’s way of talking, dressing, drinking, eating etc, until you are out of the way of truth.

DO NOT CONFORM TO THIS EVIL WORLD
Watch all these people that are not paying attention to Me. They are grabbing the affairs of this world with two hands, two legs and go neck-deep into it.
2. They do not see caskets. They do not go to mortuaries, but they attend funeral services. They attend burials. They go on condolence visits, as if they themselves will not die. They do not even consider all these people that died and what they took out of this earth, of all their sweat?
3. We are living in this house. If I die now, will I carry this house into the grave? But earthly things are holding them down to the neglect of God’s Word.
4. Look at what the Bible said in Gospel according to 1st John chapter 2:15-17. I want to have all the translations.
5. Good News Bible. 15Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father.
6. 16Everything that belongs to the world—what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of—none of this comes from the Father; it all comes from the world. 17THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING IN IT THAT PEOPLE DESIRE IS PASSING AWAY; What?
7. In the world of Noah, was anything left? In the world of Sodom and Gomorrah, was anything left? In Jericho, what was left? They are passing away.
8. All these attractions that are holding people here; whatever people are sweating for and labouring for; these are things that have no value. Vanity upon vanity.
9. Instead of labouring to the extent God said we should labour, to see whether we can have the little God promised us to have in order to take care of ourselves, our children and the Ministry; and then, help those we know we can help and have our quiet life with Christ; but the world is dominating their minds and their affairs.
10. The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; BUT THOSE WHO DO THE WILL OF GOD LIVE FOREVER. Amen! Those who do the will of God will do what? Live forever!
11. 1 John 2:15 – 17 Amplified version.15Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources]…
12. Assurance in one’s own resources. That is why the Bible called such people greedy dogs; ever eating and never getting satisfied, never getting contented.
13. …Or in the stability of earthly things]-these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself].
14. 17And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF GOD AND CARRIES OUT HIS PURPOSES IN HIS LIFE ABIDES (REMAINS) FOREVER.
15. Living Bible.15Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you, for when you love these things you show that you do not really love God;
16. 16for all these worldly things, these evil desires—the craze for sex, the ambition to buy everything that appeals to you, and the pride that comes from wealth and importance—these are not from God. They are from this evil world itself.
17. 17And this world is fading away, and these evil, forbidden things will go with it, but whoever keeps doing the will of God will live forever.
18. Look at 1st Peter 2: 11-12 [GNB]: I APPEAL TO YOU MY FRIENDS AS STRANGERS AND REFUGEES IN THIS WORLD… As what? Strangers and refugees in this world. As what? Strangers and refugees in this world.
19. You know it is easier to watch people suffering in the North-East than to believe that such thing can befall us.
20. How many years have people been in exile from their homes in the North-East, abandoning their citadel mansions, abandoning banks and all commercial activities, industries in the North-East because of insurgency?
21. All of them are clamped into one small room or classrooms in some schools while some are in the open air, answering Internally Displaced Persons [IDP’s]. They are now refugees. Some are relocated to many states in Nigeria as refugees.
22. Who can afford to be a refugee and then he survives it? Many of you were not born during the war. All that were born during the war, we know what it takes to be a refugee, to be exiled from your home.
23. WE ARE PILGRIMS. WE ARE STRANGERS. WE ARE REFUGEES HERE ON EARTH. THE EARTH IS NOT OUR PERMANENT HOME. AND THAT IS WHY WE CANNOT GO AFTER THE AFFAIRS OF THIS WORLD AS IF THAT IS ETERNAL LIFE.
24. Heaven is My home. Heaven is My abode. And that is Paradise where everything there will be from eternity to eternity.
25. 11I appeal to you, my friends, as strangers and refugees in this world! Do not give in to bodily passions, which are always at war against the soul.
26. 12Your conduct among the heathen should be so good that when they accuse you of being evildoers, they will have to recognize your good deeds and so praise God on the Day of his coming.
27. 1 Peter 2:11 – 12 [LB]DEAR BROTHERS, YOU ARE ONLY VISITORS HERE… You are only what?…VISITORS HERE. Since your real home is in heaven… Since your real home is in where? …in heaven. I beg you to keep away from the evil pleasures of this world…
28. I beg you to do what? Keep away from the evil pleasures of this world; they are not for you…They are not for you, unless you are earthly bound; unless you are a fowl; you are not an eagle.
29. …For they fight against your very souls. Be careful how you behave amongst your unsaved neighbours; …Oh no!…for then even if they are suspicious of you and talk against you, they would end up praising God for your good works when Christ returns. Amen!
30. Beware of how you behave yourself among your unsaved neighbours; though they may be suspecting you to belong to one occult society or the other, they will end it praising God when they shall see your good works. They will praise God on your behalf.
31. You see! Since we have been worshipping God in our homes do you not think that our neighbours might be feeling suspicious about us? But they cannot speak evil of us. If they speak evil of us, they will see our good works. Our good works will counter.
32. You see somebody saying, “But their attitude, their character, what they are doing does not prove that they are occult people or they are what you are calling them, for their characters reflect Christ. Their characters reflect truth.” Is it not true? Good!
33. This is because unsaved people are highly suspicious because the saved do not do what the unsaved do.
34. So, do not live your life as an unsaved person by having the affairs of this world over your head [grabbing and grabbing and grabbing; greedy dog] unless you are earthly bound. How can you trust in this world’s vain riches that will so rapidly decay?
35. 1 Peter 2:11 – 12 [AMP]11Beloved, I implore you as aliens and strangers and exiles [in this world] to abstain from the sensual urges (the evil desires, the passions of the flesh, your lower nature) that wage war against the soul.
36. 12Conduct yourselves properly (honorably, righteously) among the Gentiles, so that, although they may slander you as evildoers, [yet] they may by witnessing your good deeds [come to] glorify God in the day of inspection [when God shall look upon you wanderers as a pastor or shepherd looks over his flock].
37. God looking at us; taking a look at all of us as wanderers and as a shepherd takes care of his flocks. That is when we have returned to our home. We were exiled and we are still in exile till today. Is it not true?
38. Every true seed of God is still in exile but this is our home going week. We are going back to the Home where we were exiled from.
39. Israel is gradually going back. We are gradually going back to the Spirit. We are gradually going back to the Spirit.
40. The Spirit is dispossessing us of the world, so that the world can no longer have strong grip over us again.
41. So, if you believe you will not die again because you are rich, because you are wealthy or because you own the world and then you leave heaven for Me, I say, own the world.
42. People keep singing, “This world is not my home. This world is not my home.” Yet, own the world and leave Heaven for Me. I am proud that I am heading to heaven. That is all. It gives Me joy exceedingly.
43. WE ARE SAVED WHEN WE HOLD UNTO THE WORDS OF GOD; Pg. 175 vs. 12. You have heard these things foretold. Now you see their fulfilment. …
44. Have you not heard these things foretold? Can you not see the fulfilment? Can you not see people that are making the affairs of this world their own god? Worshipping wealth, worshipping themselves, worshipping popularity, worshipping women, worshipping men, and worshipping money?
45. Then a man says, “When money speaks, truth is silenced.” Someone was telling Me, “Man, go your way. It is not this story that you are telling us that we are interested in. It is money that speaks.”
46. Wisdom is no longer profitable. Money has taken people’s senses away from them to the point that they no longer remember that God exists. They even forget that they can die.
47. Money and pursuit of money has deluded the minds of many. And yet, they are still mentioning “Jesus” and mentioning “Son of Man.”
48. Look at this! As small as we are, yet these spirits are gradually creeping into our midst. Begin to see the larger world; the large world that are trooping into hell. They are trooping into hell every day.
49. SO, IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE PRESENT STAGE OF THE MINISTRY, IT IS BECAUSE THE WORLD IS HOLDING YOU CAPTIVE. THE ATTRACTIONS OF THIS WORLD ARE STILL HOLDING YOU CAPTIVE.
50. But what do you think you can make out of this world from now? Tell Me that which you think you can make out of this world and how you want to make it out and I will tell you that the way does not exist.
51. You are discovering that way very late. It is like somebody preparing now to go to South Africa when those who are there are trapped. He is discovering it very late. Or you now want to go to Malaysia. You are discovering it very late.
52. Anything you are discovering now, you are discovering it late. And God knows why He never introduced it to us when others saw it, for if we saw it when they saw it, we would have followed. So, He hid it away from us, only to reveal it to us when it is now useless. When it is useless!
53. That goes to show that God loves Me. He loves you. He does not want us to follow the majority and perish because the prosperity of the wicked has been a great temptation. And you have to escape by flight. And God, knowing that we will not escape, hid it away from us.
54. We never even had contact with them. We were hearing it with the ears. Some of them are dead. They are not coming back again. Money has overwhelmed their reasoning.
55. Where they went in search of sudden wealth, they were consumed. The ones in Nigeria with such ambitions, look at their [pathetic] conditions. You are pursuing wealth as if you will no longer die. Ah! May God help us.
56. Tell Me that aspect of human life where you want to venture into and then turn the world upside down and the whole world will bow down for you. Then I will tell you that it does not exist. Yes! Every area has been explored. Every area has been fully explored. There is no virgin area again.
57. THE ONLY AREA THAT HAS NOT BEEN FULLY EXPLORED IS THE AREA OF CHRIST AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. ONLY A FEW ARE THERE, FOR THE ROAD IS VERY NARROW. ONLY A FEW FINDETH IT.ONLY A FEW. IT IS NOT CROWDED.
58. But the other way is crowded, densely packed with people. But this narrow way is still open. It is still open.
59. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it.[Matthew 7:13 – 14, KJV]
60. Nobody wants to trail through the narrow way. They hold it with their mouth, but their hearts are still with the crowd, thinking they are going to turn the world upside down. It is a lie!
61. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THE WORLD IS HOLDING YOU CAPTIVE UNTIL YOU HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO DO LIKE OTHERS. WHEN YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO DO LIKE OTHERS AND YOU REFUSE TO DO IT, GOD WILL MARK YOU GOOD.
62. THAT IS WHY EVERY TRUE SEED OF GOD REMAINS HIMSELF. HE DOES NOT BORROW A CUE FROM ANYBODY OUTSIDE. HE DOES EVERYTHING BY THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. I AM TELLING YOU GOD’S TRUTH. WELL, I WILL TALK TO YOU, BUT NOT NOW.
Believe it if you can, I AM THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, The Beginning and The End. In other words, you cannot jump Me. If you jump Me, you jump into hell. There is no other way because I have always told you that even your Prophet saw My day and he rejoiced.
THE DAY OF THE LORD VOL. 2; Preached on 11th April, 1999 Pg. 79 vs.

OUTSIDE THIS FAITH, THERE IS NO HOPE
Remember where I took off; the need for you to grow [1] in the spirit and in the knowledge of the truth, [2] in the knowledge of who God is, and [3] in the knowledge of who you are and why you are here.
2. HOW CAN YOU BE A STRANGER AND THEN YOU CLAIM TO BE THE BONAFIDE OWNER, AND A LANDLORD OVER THE WORLD? YOU ARE EARTHLY BOUND.
3. WHEREVER A MAN PROTECTS, THAT IS WHERE HIS HEART IS. WHERE A MAN’S WEALTH IS WILL ALWAYS GIVE HIM SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
4. I heard that one man’s shop got burnt at [Onitsha] Main Market. Then, he ran and jumped into the fire where his merchandise was burning.
5. The other one ran to the bridge and jumped into River Niger lamenting, “What am I alive for?” His world has ended. His wealth has finished and he also died immediately.
6. Let banks fold up today, you will see some people that will run mad. You will see people that will hang themselves. I am telling you the truth.
7. They have dedicated their hands, feet, eyes to the things of the world. Yet, they are merely professing heaven on the lips. Can you not see that the person is mocking himself? You are mocking yourself and not God.
8. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. [Galatians 6:7 KJV]
9. GOD KNOWS THOSE THAT ARE HEAVENLY BOUND. HE KNOWS THOSE THAT ARE EARTHLY BOUND. TO THOSE WHO ARE HEAVENLY BOUND, THEIR CONVERSATION IS IN HEAVEN. THEY DISCUSS HEAVENLY MATTERS, BUT THOSE WHO ARE EARTHLY BOUND DISCUSS EARTHLY AFFAIRS. EARTHLY AFFAIRS!
10. Pg. 179 vs. 22. Isaiah 55:4-5 4Behold, I have appointed him (Him) [David, as a representative of the Messiah, or the Messiah Himself] to be a witness [one (One) who shall testify of salvation] to the nations, a prince (Prince) and commander (Commander) to the peoples. AMP
11. I have appointed David as a representative of the Messiah or the Messiah himself; the Throne of David; the Throne.
12. Pg. 179 vs. 23.5Behold, you [Israel] shall call nations that you know not, and nations that do not know you shall run to you because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for He has glorified you. AMP.
13. Pg. 185 vs. 39. When you say that your God is a blessing, you are saying that your Father is a blessing but you must be a member of the Family for you to have a Father. I am coming to something so that we will stop making false claims and stop deceiving ourselves. Sure!
14. 41The person who has been born into God’s Family does not make a practice of sin because now God’s life is in him.
15. So he cannot keep on sinning. He can never!
16. 43…This new life has been born into him and does what? Controls him. This new life has been born into him and does what? Controls him, controls her.
17. 44How can you say you are born of God; a member of God’s family and you are continuing with your old life, your old habits, your old spirit, your old passions, with your old desires having dominion and control over you? What makes Him your father? Such a fellow is earthly bound. You are a liar. A liar of all liars.
18. 51Moses was your youthful friend, but one day, He became God. Jesus, as a man was your youthful friend, but one day, He became God. St Paul was your youthful friend, but one day, he became God. So were all the prophets. Even David.
19. Then Prophet Mohammed asserted it more than any other prophet that you should never allow his descent from among you to destroy you, by failing to recognize and accept Him as your great Mahdi who has been born into God’s family by spiritual rebirth; by yielding to the truth that will build Christ in you in human form, making you to conform to the image of the First Son wherein you can have the boldness to call him, “Abba Father!”
20. Until then, you are an impersonator, a misclaimer. You are claiming what you are not.
21. So let us face real facts and no longer stories man and woman alike. Let us stop deceiving ourselves.
22. I can teach my children everything, but I cannot teach them the ways of God. Did you get the message? If they proceeded from Me whether they like it or not, my attributes must be seen in them. Hallelujah!
23. If they proceeded from Me, whether they like it or not, My attributes must manifest through them, for Christ is identified by His characteristics. They cannot do otherwise. Period! Both male and female, they can never do otherwise, for they have no choice other than the one they have.
24. 56…THE WORD OF GOD WHICH MANY HAVE REFUSED IS WHAT SHOULD CONTROL A SEED OF GOD. Yes! THIS CAN ONLY BE POSSIBLE WHEN YOU YIELD YOUR LIFE TO HIS WORD AND ACT ON IT IMMEDIATELY.
25. When you set aside the Word that is sent to come and save you from your ugly situation and then regulate your life so that you become saved in the end; and you set it aside and continue to wander in the bush, thinking that you are walking on a high way, do not worry.
26. When you get to the place where there is no road, you will know that you wandered away from the pathway of light. Is it a lie?
27. A sister had a dream where she left the congregation of the children of God and then entered one group.
28. The pastor started talking to her, telling her how she wasted her time with the so-called Bride of Christ and now that she has realized her foolishness, he will introduce her to the new and living way which nobody knows except his group.
29. She said, that man led her to the place where all the ladies were putting on trousers, with lipstick and everything. And she refused to put on the trouser. She made a very big gown.
30. The man was compelling her to put on trouser or put on suit or dress like other psychedelic worshippers. She found it difficult to dress like them. She said she was afraid.
31. Now, they left from that pathway, joined another group. She said, they were hollering and singing praises of all sorts with those ministers and pastors.
32. Then, they got to a place, there was a very high wall and they were thinking that they would see an opening on the wall.
33. When they got to that wall, there was no opening. All the pastors and ministers that where leading the whole congregation, they ran in front and they were rubbing their hands on the wall. There was no way they could climb the wall, and they could not go back.
34. All of a sudden, the wall melted into a very big ocean and all the pastors and ministers said, “Everybody find your way. We cannot swim across. It is not ordinary stream. It is now an ocean. We have no boat. We have no canoe. And we have no ship. We thought we were following the right way. We did not know that it will end in an ocean.” Then, the dream left her.
35. 22And Shaitân (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: “Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.).” [Surah 14:22 Hilali-Khan]
36. She called Me and said she had a terrible dream, that she will like to come to Nsugbe and narrate it.
37. I said, “No. Do not come to Nsugbe. You will not see Me. Tell Me the dream over the phone.”
38. She said, “Daddy, I am afraid”. I asked, “Do you not have credit? I will call you with My own phone.” She said, “Daddy I have credit.”
39. I said, “Okay, if you know that your testimony will not flow to the end, go and loadN1,000. She said, “Daddy, I have N3,000 in my phone”. I said, “Okay, go ahead.”
40. She gave a narrative of this dream. I asked, “Okay, do you want Me to pray for you? No. You pray for yourself that it should not befall you.”
41. I asked her, “Then what did you discover?” She said, “I have now come to the terms that outside this Faith, there is no other road. Whatever anybody is promising you is leading you to an ocean or a high wall you cannot surmount.”
42. But this way is the way Prophet Muhammad told you that when the Mahdi is revealed in your day, if He is revealed where you can see Him and recognize Him, run to that location, grip Him, swear your oath of allegiance, cling to Him. Do not ever draw back. And then, be ready to bear the hurt that will be associated with your strong devotion to Him.
43. If Allah permits you to see this RUN TO SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO HIM [FOLLOW HIM] AND NEVER ABANDON HIM. IF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL, NEVER ABANDON HIM IF YOU REACH HIM AND FIND THE TRUE PATH. Ah-and he pointed to his chest-how I long to see him. LET NOTHING HOLD YOU BACK FROM SWEARING ALLEGIANCE TO HIM [FROM BRING HIS FOLLOWER, FROM FOLLOWING HIM]. Those who hold you back are those who have always sought refuge in corruption. If they speak, they speak evil and if they are silent, they are impious and perverse (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p.252)
44. Follow Him, in spite of the hurt, for He is the One that will lead you straight to Paradise. He is the One.
45. 5THAT HE MAY ADMIT THE BELIEVING MEN AND THE BELIEVING WOMEN TO GARDENS UNDER WHICH RIVERS FLOW (I.E. PARADISE), to abide therein forever, and to expiate from them their sins, and that is with God, a supreme success,
46. And He [the Prophet] described His appearance, His physical appearance, His height, His weight, His nature, His eyes, His face and everything so that you make no mistake about it.
47. From Yahya ibn Nufal, indeed Musa ibn Ja’afar (as) raise his hands and supplicates after Asr prayer, I inquire from him saying, to whom did you offer prayer for? He said: to Al-Mahdi among the family of Muhammad (saas) and said: HE IS HAVING BIG STOMACH, his eyebrow very close, HIS LEGS ARE VERY ENERGETIC, HIS SHOULDER IS WIDE [Bihar al-Anwar: 86-81]
48. He told you purely that He is a black man, married with children and by the time His ministry will start, He will be between the age 35, 40 and 45.
49. Another seasoned Muslim cleric also emphasized on the disposition of the Mahdi when he shall appear in this last days. BUT HIS SECOND COMING WILL GIVE HIM THE CHANCE TO MARRY AND GIVE BIRTH TO CHILDREN. The second coming of Jesus Christ signifies the end of time and there will be a great fight between Him and the Dajjal (anti-Christ), and Christ will overcome. [MUSLIM CLERIC ON THE RETURN OF JESUS; Alhaji Lateef Laguda, Chairman, Ansar-ud-een Society of Nigeria, Festac Branch; Vanguard Newspapers of January 31st 2014]
50. “He (Jesus) will live for forty years during which HE WILL MARRY, HAVE CHILDREN, and perform Hajj (pilgrimage). [Wali ad-Din, Miskat Al-Masabih, (tr. James Robson), Vol. II, p.1159; Sahih Muslim, Vol.1, p.92]
51. HE WILL BE SENT WHEN HE IS BETWEEN 30 AND 40. The Mahdi is one of my children. He is around 40.[Al-Haythami, Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar, p.41]
52. Check it, and it was exactly that same age when the whole thing started.
53. Abd-Ru-shin of The Grail Message said, “Before then, He must have traversed through all aspects of life for your sake so that He will be a Perfect Guide to all that will enjoy Paradise; a Good Mediator. He is the One that has made heaven a possibility. He has made heaven a possibility by coming to lead by Himself.”
54. He went and prepared a Place, then came back to take you to Himself so that wherever He is, there you will be.
55. 2In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. [John 14:2 – 3 KJV]
56. What if you refuse to follow Him? Will He force you? You make the journey lighter, for every drop of sand that falls from the tipper reduces the weight of the load.
57. Yes! It is reducing the engine sound, the load and everything. Anybody who jumps out will take his headache along with him. Have you not been hearing it? Anyone that draws back is a relief to Me; he cannot be a burden again.
58. You are a burden to Me because you are claiming to be with Me. But when you go out, are you a burden again? I am not your burden, and you are not My burden. You are a burden to yourself. Go your way. The tipper continues to move. Amen!
59. Pg. 193 vs. 64. 64I, THE SON OF MAN, has invited you to assess you so that you will go with Me, for I am already on My way home. I do not think I have any other programme with the world that can keep Me here on earth more than necessary. Amen!
60. 72May the good Lord grant us our earnest expectation which is our immortal bodies. On this note, I say Remain Blessed in Him Eternally. [From Pastor Rotimi, Household of God, Lagos]
61. To God be the glory. NOTHING CAN BE TRUER THAN THE TRUTH. What we need at this hour is putting ourselves in remembrance of the truths we have received, lest we allow our hearts and our legs to slip off from the salvation path, and we perish.
62. Let Me tell you the truth I know. Whoever that has been with us from the very beginning, if that person slips off from the track right now, of all human beings, that person is the most miserable and the most foolish, for he has laboured in vain. He has laboured in vain and has suffered the loss of all things in vain.
63. Let there be not even one of us, who from the very beginning never paid lip service to this Faith but believed it holistically and we are continuing with it by revelation that we are sure and certain that it has truth that will save our lives, that we are following God and not a mere man;
64. As many of us as have this revelation and this Faith exercised in the Messages, My prayer is that God will continue to help us to uphold the profession of this Faith we are holding right now till the end without wavering. We give God the glory for everything.
CONCLUSION
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, here we are at Thy Feet, pleading with You, O God, to allow Your Words we have heard to become our flesh, our spirit, our controller, [Father] our administrator and our policeman. Do not allow it to fizzle out of our memories.
2. Thank You for starting the day’s activities with us on a very lively note. We love and appreciate You because of who You are, for You first loved us and laid down Your life for us.
3. Bless all the Ministers you are using even in this end time, Father, to encourage your children to continue in the Faith of Christ. Bless their families and bless their handiwork. When this life is over, remember all of them for good.
4. Teach us, O God to number our days that we may incline our hearts unto wisdom that time is no more. Time is no more. Time is no more!
5. For Your Name’s sake we pray. Amen!
