LEARN TO POSSESS YOUR VESSEL IN HONOUR [1]
CHAPTER FOUR [IV]: – THE TESTAMENT OF JUDAH CONCERNING FORTITUDE, AND LOVE AND MONEY, AND FORNICATION.
2. 1The copy of the words of Judah, what things he spoke to his sons before he died. They gathered themselves together, and came to him, and he said to them: I was the fourth son born to my father, and my mother called me Judah, saying, I give thanks to the Lord, because He has given to me even a fourth son.
3. 2I was swift and active in my youth,… The most violent. The most violent is Judah. He was much more violent that David. David has the blood of Judah. With Judah and David, it is like father, like son.
4. 2I was swift and active in my youth, and obedient to my father in everything. And I honoured my mother and my mother’s sister. And it came to pass, when I became a man, that my father Jacob prayed over me, saying, You shall be a king, and prosperous in all things.
5. 3And the Lord showed me favour in all my works both in the field and at home. When I saw that I could run with the hind, then I caught it, and prepared meat for my father. I seized upon the roes in the chase, and all that was in the plains I outran.
6. 4A wild mare I outran, and I caught it and tamed it; and I slew a lion, and plucked a kid out of its mouth. I took a bear by its paw, and rolled it over a cliff; and if any beast turned upon me, I rent it like a dog.
7. 5I encountered the wild boar, and overtaking it in the chase, I tore it… Judah! Judah! Judah! Even till today, Judah is the most violent tribe in Israel, brought about by the owner [progenitor] named Judah.
8. A leopard in Hebron leaped upon the dog, and I caught it by the tail, and flung it from me, and it was dashed to pieces in the coasts of Gaza. A wild ox feeding in the field I seized by the horns; and whirling it round and stunning it, I cast it from me, and slew it.
9. 7And when the two kings of the Canaanites came in warlike array against our flocks, and much people with them, I by myself rushed upon King Sur and seized him; and I beat him upon the legs, and dragged him down, and so I slew him. And the other king, Taphue, I slew as he sat upon his horse, and so I scattered all the people.
10. 8Achor the king, a man of giant stature, hurling darts before and behind as he sat on horseback, I slew; for I hurled a stone of sixty pounds weight, and cast it upon his horse, and killed him.
11. I want all and sundry to take note of what we are studying. There was nothing called Christianity or Islam because, as at that time, all these records were there. There was no Christianity. There was no Islam.
12. The only thing that was there was one religion, and that was one religion. I call it what the Almighty called it: TOTAL SUBMISSION TO GOD.
13. Abraham’s religion was Islam. So, what we are reading; what we are studying is a preservation of the truth of what the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob enjoined all flesh to do;
14. And that is to practice Righteousness, Love and Peace which is the core tenet of Islam. All of them were born and brought up in Islamic Faith. Not what we are witnessing, but original Islam.
15. That is why, if anybody is perverting anything, he is perverting it to his own destruction. There was nothing called Christianity. I still maintain it that Christianity remains counterfeit.
16. 9And I fought with Achor for two hours, and I killed him; and I clave his shield into two parts, and I chopped off his feet. And as I stripped off his breastplate, behold, eight men, his companions began to fight with me.
17. 10I wound round therefore, my garment in my hand; and I slang stones at them, and killed four of them, and the rest fled.
18. And Jacob my father slew Beelisa, king of all the kings, a giant in strength, twelve cubits high; and fear fell upon them, and they ceased from making war with us.
19. 11Therefore, my father had no care in the wars when I was among my brethren. For he saw in a vision concerning me, that an angel of might followed me everywhere, that I should not be overcome.
20. 12And in the south, there befell us a greater war than that in Shechem; and I joined in battle array with my brethren, and pursued a thousand men, and slew of them two hundred men and four kings. And I went up against them upon the wall, and two other kings I slew; and so we freed Hebron, and took all the captives of the kings.
21. 13On the next day we departed to Areta, a city strong and walled and inaccessible, threatening us with death. Therefore, I and Gad approached on the east side of the city, and Reuben and Levi on the west and south.
22. 14And they that were upon the wall, thinking that we were alone, charged down upon us; and so our brethren secretly climbed up the wall on both sides by ladders, and entered into the city, while the men knew it not.
23. 15And we took it with the edge of the sword; and those who had taken refuge in the tower — we set fire to the tower, and took both it and them.
24. And as we were departing, the men of Thaffu set upon our captives, and we took it with our sons, and fought with them even to Thaffu; and we slew them, and burnt their city, and spoiled all the things that were therein.
25. 16And when I was at the waters of Chuzeba, the men of Jobel came against us to battle, and we fought with them; and their allies from Selom we slew, and we allowed them no means of escaping, and of coming against us.
26. 17And the men of Machir came upon us on the fifth day, to carry away our captives; and we attacked them, and overcame them in fierce battle: for they were a host and mighty in themselves, and we slew them before they had gone up the ascent of the hill.
27. 18And when we came to their city, their women rolled upon us stones from the brow of the hill on which the city stood. And I and Simeon hid ourselves behind the town, and seized upon the heights, and utterly destroyed the whole city.
28. 19And the next day it was told us that the cities of the two kings with a great host were coming against us. I therefore and Dan feigned ourselves to be Amorites, and went as allies into their city.
29. 20And in the depth of night our brethren came, and we opened to them the gates; and we destroyed all the men and their substance, and we took for a prey all that was theirs, and their three walls we cast down.
30. 21And we drew near to Thamna, where was all the refuge of the hostile kings. Then having received hurt I was angry, and charged upon them to the brow of the hill; and they slang at me with stones and darts; and had not Dan my brother aided me, they would have been able to slay me.
31. 22We came upon them therefore with wrath, and they all fled; and passing by another way, they besought my father, and he made peace with them, and we did to them no hurt, but made a truce with them, and restored to them all the captives. And I built Thamna, and my father built Rhambael. I was twenty years old when this war befell, and the Canaanites feared me and my brethren.
32. 23Moreover, I had much cattle, and I had for the chief of my herdsmen Iran the Adullamite
33. Genesis 38:1. 1And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. KJV
34. And when I went to him I saw Barsan, king of Adullam, and he made us a feast; and he entreated me, and gave me his daughter, Bathshua to wife. She bare me Er, and Onan, and ; and the two of them the Lord smote that they died childless: for Selah lived, and his children are you.
35. 24Eighteen years we abode at peace, our father and we, with his brother Esau, and his sons with us, after that we came from Mesopotamia, from Laban. His brother, Esau.
36. And when eighteen years were fulfilled, in the fortieth year of my life, Esau, the brother of my father, came upon us with much people and strong; and he fell by the bow of Jacob, and was taken up dead in Mount Seir: even as he went above Iramna was he slain.
37. 25And we pursued after the sons of Esau. Now they had a city with walls of iron and gates of brass; and we could not enter into it, and we encamped around, and besieged them.
38. 26And when they opened not to us after twenty days, I set up a ladder in the sight of all, and with my shield upon my head I climbed up, assailed with stones of three talents’ weight; and I climbed up, and slew four who were mighty among them.
39. 27And the next day Reuben and Gad entered in and slew sixty others. Then they asked from us terms of peace; and being aware of our father’s purpose, we received them as tributaries.
40. And they gave us two hundred cors of wheat, five hundred baths of oil, fifteen hundred measures of wine, until we went down into Egypt.
41. 28After these things, my son Er took a wife Tamar, from Mesopotamia, a daughter of Aram. Now Er was wicked, and he doubted concerning Tamar, because she was not of the land of Canaan.
42. 29And on the third day an angel of the Lord smote him in the night, and he had not known her, according to the evil of craftiness of his mother, for he did not wish to have children from her.
43. 30In the days of the wedding-feast I espoused Onan to her; and he also in wickednessknew her not, though he lived with her a year. And when I threatened him, he lay with her, according to the command of his mother, and he also died in his wickedness.
44. 31And I wished to give Shelah also to her, but my wife Bathshua suffered it not; for she bore a spite against Tamar, because she was not of the daughters of Canaan, as she herself was. Marrying strange women, who God spoke against.
45. 32And I knew that the race of Canaan was wicked, but the thoughts of youth blinded my heart. And when I saw her pouring out wine, in the drunkenness of wine was I deceived, and I fell before her.
46. 33And while I was away, she went and took for Shelah a wife from the land of Caanan. And when I knew what she had done, I cursed her in the anguish of my soul, and she also died in the wickedness of her sons. Marry a bad wife, and raise bad children.
47. 34And after these things, while Tamar was a widow, she heard after two years that I was going up to shear my sheep; then she decked herself in bridal array, and sat over against the city by the gate.
48. 35For it is a law of the Amorites, that she who is about to marry sit in fornication seven days by the gate. I therefore, being drunk at the waters of Chozeb, recognised her not by reason of wine; and her beauty deceived me, through the fashion of her adorning. That is the wife of his son.
49. 36And I turned aside to her, and said, I would enter in to you. And she said to me, What will you give me? And I gave her my staff, and my girdle, and my royal crown; and I lay with her, and she conceived.
50. 37I then, not knowing what she had done, wished to slay her; but she privily sent my pledges, and put me to shame. And when I called her, I heard also the secret words which I spoke when lying with her in my drunkenness; and I could not slay her, because it was from the Lord.
51. 38For I said, Lest haply she did it in subtlety, and received the pledge from another woman: but I came near her no more till my death, because I had done this abomination in all Israel.
52. 39Moreover, they who were in the city said that there was no bride in the city, because she came from another place, and sat for a while in the gate, and she thought that no one knew that I had gone in to her.
53. 40And after this we came into Egypt to Joseph, because of the famine. Forty and six years old was I, and seventy and three years lived I there.
54. 41And now, my children, in what things so ever I command you hearken to your father, and keep all my sayings to perform the ordinances of the Lord, and to obey the command of the Lord God.
55. 42And walk not after your lusts, nor in the thoughts of your imaginations in the haughtiness of your heart; and glory not in the works of the strength of youth, for this also is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
56. 43For since I also gloried that in wars the face of no woman of goodly form ever deceived me, and upbraided Reuben my brother concerning Bilhah, the wife of my father, the spirits of jealousy and of fornication arrayed themselves within me, until I fell before Bathshua the Canaanite, and Tamar who was espoused to my sons.
57. And I said to my father-in-law, I will counsel with my father, and so will I take your daughter.
58. 44And he showed me a boundless store of gold in his daughter’s behalf, for he was a king. And he decked her with gold and pearls, and caused her to pour out wine for us at the feast in womanly beauty.
59. 45And the wine led my eyes astray, and pleasure blinded my heart; and I loved her, and I fell, and transgressed the commandment of the Lord and the commandment of my fathers, and I took her to wife.
60. And the Lord rewarded me according to the thought of my heart, insomuch that I had no joy in her children.
61. 46And now, my children, be not drunk with wine; for wine turns the mind away from the truth, and kindles in it the passion of lust, and leads the eyes into error. For the spirit of fornication has wine as a minister to give pleasures to the mind; for these two take away the power from a man.
62. 47For if a man drink wine to drunkenness, he disturbs his mind with filthy thoughts to fornication, and excites his body to carnal union; and if the cause of the desire be present, he works the sin, and is not ashamed.
63. 48Such is wine, my children; FOR HE WHO IS DRUNKEN REVERENCES NO MAN. For, lo, it made me also to err, so that I was not ashamed of the multitude in the city, because before the eyes of all I turned aside unto Tamar, and I worked a great sin, and I uncovered the covering of the shame of my sons.
64. 49After that I drank wine, I reverenced not the commandment of God, and I took a woman of Canaan to wife.
65. WHEREFORE, MY CHILDREN, HE WHO DRINKS WINE NEEDS DISCRETION; AND HEREIN IS DISCRETION IN DRINKING WINE, THAT A MAN SHOULD DRINK AS LONG AS HE KEEPS DECENCY;
66. BUT IF HE GO BEYOND THIS BOUND, THE SPIRIT OF DECEIT ATTACKS HIS MIND AND WORKS HIS WILL; AND IT MAKES THE DRUNKARD TO TALK FILTHILY, AND TO TRANSGRESS AND NOT TO BE ASHAMED, BUT EVEN TO EXULT IN HIS DISHONOUR, ACCOUNTING HIMSELF TO DO WELL.
67. 50He that commits fornication, and uncovers his nakedness, has become the servant of fornication, and escapes not from the power thereof, even as I also was uncovered.
68. 51For I gave my staff, that is, the stay of my tribe; and my girdle, that is, my power; and my diadem, that is, the glory of my kingdom. Then I repented for these things, and took no wine or flesh until my old age, nor did I behold any joy.
69. That was what killed Samson in the hands of Delilah.
70. 52AND THE ANGEL OF GOD SHOWED ME THAT FOR EVER DO WOMEN BEAR RULE OVER KING AND BEGGAR ALIKE; That is truth! AND FROM THE KING THEY TAKE AWAY HIS GLORY, AND FROM THE VALIANT MAN HIS STRENGTH, AND FROM THE BEGGAR EVEN THAT LITTLE WHICH IS THE STAY OF HIS POVERTY.
71. Where the devil is afraid to go, he sends a woman. Do not underrate the power of an ungodly woman. They have wreaked great havoc.
72. Go to the Message, STAND STILL AND I WILL SHOW YOU THE WORD OF GOD in The Great Sermon and Holy Ghost inspired Epistles [2019 Revised Edition; Chapter 2: “Warning To All Servants of God”, Pg. 92 vs. 1 through 105].
73. You will see the evils that ungodly women have caused, so that you will know and believe that I am HE. I was there from the very official beginning.
74. Go to that Message and see how I addressed all of them. Mrs. Jezebel Ahab, Mrs. Delilah Samson and all of them; just a few to tell you to be wary of all these shameless women that parade themselves about in our own day. They are now in the majority. Be very careful.
75. 53OBSERVE THEREFORE, MY CHILDREN, MODERATION IN WINE; MODERATION IN WINE. FOR THERE ARE IN IT FOUR [4] EVIL SPIRITS— OF (1) LUST, OF (2) WRATH, OF (3) RIOT, OF (4) FILTHY LUCRE [MONEY OBTAINED DISHONESTLY].
76. If you drink wine in gladness, with shamefacedness, with the fear of God, you shall live. For if you drink not with shamefacedness, and the fear of God departs from you, then comes drunkenness, and shamelessness steals in.
77. But even if you drink not at all, take heed lest you sin in words of outrage, and fighting, and slander, and transgression of the commandments of God; so shall you perish before your time.
78. That is, if you do not drink at all. So, if you drink, it does not make you a child of God. If you do not drink, it does not make you a child of God. POSSESS YOUR VESSEL IN HONOUR. LEARN TO POSSESS YOUR VESSEL IN HONOUR.
79. Moreover, wine reveals the mysteries of God and men to aliens,…
80. Wine reveals the mysteries of God and men to foreigners. When you are drunk with wine, you will not know when you will reveal the mystic secret about God.
81. You will not know when you reveal the secrets of our liberty in Christ to your girlfriend, the people and strangers who are not supposed to know about them.
82. Wine makes you do what you are not supposed to do. Wine makes you entangle yourself with the thing[s] or person[s] you are not supposed to entangle yourself with, just like Judah did.
83. He is warning his children and his children’s children and their generations to come about what they should avoid, knowing that the Righteous Judge was on the way, [He] who will stand upon this earth, clad in the flesh of human a being to judge all things from cradle to the end, sparing nothing;
84. [He] whose eyes are so pure that they can never behold iniquity; Who does not accept bribe; Who judges all mankind by one standard. He has no preference whatsoever.
85. 11FOOLS DISREGARD ME, CLAD IN HUMAN FORM, NOT KNOWING MY HIGHER BEING AS THE GREAT LORD OF (ALL) BEINGS. [Bhagavad Gita – The Greatest Devotional Book of Hinduism; Chapter 9 verse 11]
86. For that reason of the Man Who is on His way coming, he [Judah] prepared his children and their generations to be very mindful, for whatever a man has done in this life, he MUST account for it. He MUST, both in words, action and his thoughts.
87. You MUST account for it before the Person Whom we are having dealings with. When you will stand before the LORD and He will ask you ‘why?’ what will be your reply?
88. What will I reply if the LORD will call me to question and ask Me why? Why? That is why we received the Message that WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION. Another one: DO NOT PLACE YOURSELF IN A POSITION WHERE GOD WILL ASK YOU WHY.
89. DO NOT DO ANYTHING THAT WILL ATTRACT GOD’S QUERY, FOR YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE IN REPLY THAN TO COVER YOUR FACE IN SHAME.
90. YOU ARE INEXCUSABLE O MAN. Everything MUST be done according to the Word of God, who said, “Drink decently and in order.” I mean; He has already commanded us that EVERYTHING MUST BE DONE DECENTLY AND IN ORDER. LET YOUR MODERATION BE SEEN BY ALL MEN.
91. That Christ was coming, do we say that Christ is coming soon again? Do we make that sad mistake? Good!
God has been A Man from the very beginning. He is the Holy Spirit, He is the Comforter, He is the Everlasting Father – God changes not. His Mask (Badger Skin) can change, but His Voice remains the same. Believe it if you can…….
NOW I KNOW THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD; preached on Sunday 28th February, 1999; Pg. 5)

LEARN TO POSSESS YOUR VESSEL IN HONOUR [2]
DRINK WITHIN MODERATION. Often times, I share the good news with My wife whenever we are talking. You can discipline yourself through all these things, possessing your body unto honour.
2. I tell her that there are too many people that will have the privilege I have here, harbouring all manner of [assorted] beer, hot drinks and wines. All manner!
3. And the LORD allowed them to be flooding here so that you will see and know how I drink them. He allows foods of all sorts to flood the house, for you to see how I eat them.
4. Many do not even emulate that way. There are some that will never be tired of drinking. I have been looking forward to seeing one that will say, “As long as Daddy is not drinking, I will not drink.”
5. Instead, you see people who will have it in mind before coming. Anyone who is athirst of wine will come. When the fellow is offered the drink, he will raise it in a funny display and straight to his mouth.
6. There is no time that you will give him wine and he will say no. There is no time that you will give him beer and he will say no. You give him hot drink, he will drink all.
7. Some will tell you, “We have no brand. We drink all.” You will gather in a feast drinking, but even the Man in Whose house and presence you are drinking, you cannot see Him lift a bottle. It is not that He drinks in secret. He does not drink in secret.
8. WHY CAN YOU NOT EMULATE GOOD THINGS? ONE THAT IS GIFTED TO DRINKING CAN HARDLY BE SOBER. ONE THAT DRINKS ALWAYS CAN NEVER BE SOBER. FOR HIM, TO BE SOBER MEANS SLEPEPING AT THE WRONG TIME.
9. EXCESSIVE DRINKING DRAINS THE BRAIN. IT RENDERS A MAN AN IMBECILE. SO, THERE IS IMBECILITY IN EXCESSIVE DRINKING OF ALCOHOL. IT DRAINS YOUR BRAIN AND MAKES YOU A MINIATURE HUMAN BEING. YOU WILL NOT REASON PROPERLY. YOU WILL NOT EVEN SEE CLEARLY.
10. SO, IF WINE, ESPECIALLY HOT DRINKS HAS BECOME YOUR MASTER, BEGIN NOW TO CONTROL YOUR APPETITE.
11. I AM NOT SAYING IT BECAUSE JUDAH SAID IT. I HAVE BEEN WARNING FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. A MAN’S LIFE DOES NOT CONSIST OF WHAT HE EATS OR DRINKS.
12. Moreover, wine reveals the mysteries of God and men to aliens, even as I also revealed the commandments of God and the mysteries of Jacob my father to the Canaanitish Bathshua, to whom God forbade to declare them. AND WINE ALSO IS A CAUSE OF WAR AND CONFUSION.
13. 55I charge you, therefore, my children, [1] NOT TO LOVE MONEY, NOR [2] TO GAZE UPON THE BEAUTY OF WOMEN; because for the sake of money and beauty I was led astray to Bathshua the Canaanite.
14. For I know that because of these two things shall you who are my race fall into wickedness; for even wise men among my sons shall they mar, and shall cause the kingdom of Judah to be diminished, which the Lord gave me because of my obedience to my father.
15. 57For I never disobeyed a word of Jacob my father,… Take note! …for all things whatsoever he commanded I did. And Abraham, the father of my father, blessed me…
16. So he lived to see Abraham. Judah saw Abraham. He saw Isaac. He saw Jacob. This is because they lived long. Abraham lived long. Isaac lived long. Jacob lived long.
17. Judah his fourth son saw his great grandfather. He saw his grandfather. And for the sake of his obedience to his father Jacob, his great grandfather poured blessings upon him.
18. 57For I never disobeyed a word of Jacob my father, for all things whatsoever he commanded I did. And Abraham, the father of my father, blessed me that I should be king in Israel, and Isaac further blessed me in like manner. And I know that from me shall the kingdom be established. Sure!!!
19. 58For I have read also in the books of Enoch the righteous what evils you shall do in the last days. TAKE HEED, THEREFORE, MY CHILDREN, OF [1] FORNICATION AND [2] THE LOVE OF MONEY;
20. Hearken to Judah your father, for THESE THINGS DO WITHDRAW YOU FROM THE LAW OF GOD, AND BLIND THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE SOUL, AND TEACH ARROGANCE, AND SUFFER NOT A MAN TO HAVE COMPASSION UPON HIS NEIGHBOUR: THEY ROB HIS SOUL; OF ALL GOODNESS, AND BIND HIM IN TOILS AND TROUBLES, AND TAKE AWAY HIS SLEEP AND DEVOUR HIS FLESH, AND HINDER THE SACRIFICES OF GOD; AND HE REMEMBERS NOT BLESSING, AND HE HEARKENS NOT TO A PROPHET WHEN HE SPEAKS, AND IS VEXED AT THE WORD OF GODLINESS.
21. Once you talk to the person on godly living, you become the person’s enemy. I want all of us to trace our origin. Such a person can never take delight in hearing the Word of correction from God.
22. Telling him to adjust his life so as to live a righteous life, you are provoking him to wrath. If it is proper, I do not think the Patriarchs will be warning their children. Remember we are offshoots of this lineage. Do you believe it? Thank you.
23. IF YOUR ORIGIN CANNOT BE TRACED TO THIS PLACE, YOU ARE LOST. WHETHER YOU ARE JEW OR GENTILE, YOUR ORIGIN MUST BE THERE.
24. Who were regarded as Gentiles? Were they not Dan and Ephraim? Were they not sons of Jacob who refused to follow the other tribes to cross to Canaan? And then they went through the Suez canal and went to Egypt. From there to the lower Niger. And then produced nations that were referred to as Gentiles. Today na today!
25. 59For one who serves two passions contrary to the commandments of God cannot obeyGod, because they have blinded his soul, and he walks in the day-time as in the night.
26. 60My children, the love of money leads to idols; because, when led astray through money, men make mention of those who are no gods,…
27. Covetousness! idolatry! While pursuing money, they will be lured into too many things that are no gods. It never started today. People consulting mediums, practising sorcery and divination, all in the attempt to make money. Hear it there.
28. 60My children, THE LOVE OF MONEY LEADS TO IDOLS; because, when led astray through money, MEN MAKE MENTION OF THOSE WHO ARE NO GODS, and IT CAUSES HIM WHO HAS IT TO FALL INTO MADNESS.
29. 61For the sake of money I lost my children, and but for the repentance of my flesh, and the humbling of my soul, and the prayers of Jacob my father, I should have died childless.
30. 62But the God of my fathers, who is pitiful and merciful, pardoned me, because I did it in ignorance. For the prince of deceit blinded me, and I was ignorant as a man and as flesh, being corrupted in sins; and I learned my own weakness while thinking myself unconquerable.
31. [30]God tolerated man’s past ignorance about these things, but now he commands everyone to put away idols and worship only him. [31]For he has set a day for justly judging the world by the man he has appointed, and has pointed him out by bringing him back to life again.” [Acts 17:30-31 LB]
32. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. [1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV]
33. 63Learn therefore, my children, that two spirits wait upon man — the spirit of truth and the spirit of error; and in the midst is the spirit of the understanding of the mind, to which it belongs to turn wherever it will. And the works of truth and the works of error are written upon the breast of men, and each one of them the Lord knows.
34. 64And there is no time at which the works of men can be hid from Him; for on the bones of his breast has he been written down before the Lord. And the spirit of truth testifies all things, and accuses all; and he who sins is burnt up by his own heart, and cannot raise his face unto the Judge.
35. 65And now, my children, love Levi, that you may abide, and exalt not yourselves against him, lest you be utterly destroyed. For to me the Lord gave the kingdom, and to him the priesthood, and He set the kingdom beneath the priesthood.
36. 66To me He gave the things upon the earth; to him the things in the heavens. AS THE HEAVEN IS HIGHER THAN THE EARTH, SO IS THE PRIESTHOOD OF GOD HIGHER THAN THE KINGDOM UPON THE EARTH. Sure!!!
37. 67For the Lord chose him above you, to draw near to Him, and to eat of His table and first-fruits, even the choice things of the sons of Israel, and you shall be to them as a sea.
38. 68For as, on the sea, just and unjust are tossed about, some taken into captivity while others are enriched, so also shall every race of men be in you, some are in jeopardy and taken captive, and others shall grow rich by means of plunder.
39. 69For they who rule will be as great sea-monsters, swallowing up men like fishes: free sons and daughters do they enslave; houses, lands, flocks, money, will they plunder; and with the flesh of many will they wrongfully feed the ravens and the cranes; and they will go on further in evil, advancing on still in covetousness. And there shall be false prophets like tempests, and they shall persecute all righteous men.
40. 70And the Lord shall bring upon them divisions one against another, and there shall be continual wars in Israel; and among men of other race shall my kingdom be brought to an end, until the salvation of Israel shall come, until the appearing of the God of righteousness, that Jacob and all the Gentiles may rest in peace.
41. 71And he shall guard the might of my kingdom forever: for the Lord swore to me with an oath that the kingdom should never fail from me, and from my seed for all days, even forever.
42. 72Now I have much grief, my children, because of your lewdness, and witchcrafts, and idolatries, which you will work against the kingdom, following them that have familiar spirits; you will make your daughters singing girls and harlots for divinations and demons of error, and you will be mingled in the pollutions of the Gentiles:
43. 73for which things’ sake the Lord shall bring upon you famine and pestilence, death and the sword, avenging siege, and dogs for the rending in pieces of enemies, and reviling of friends, destruction and blighting of eyes, children slaughtered, wives carried off, possessions plundered, temple of God in flames, your land desolated, your own selves enslaved among the Gentiles,
44. And they shall make some of you eunuchs for their wives; and whenever you will return to the Lord with humility of heart, repenting and walking in all the commandments of God, then will the Lord visit you in mercy and in love, bringing you from out of the bondage of your enemies.
45. 74AND AFTER THESE THINGS SHALL A STAR ARISE TO YOU FROM JACOB IN PEACE, AND A MAN SHALL RISE FROM MY SEED, LIKE THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WALKING WITH THE SONS OF MEN IN MEEKNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS,… Amen! …AND NO SIN SHALL BE FOUND IN HIM. A Man!
46. 75And the heavens shall be opened above Him, to shed forth the blessing of the Spirit from the Holy Father; AND HE SHALL SHED FORTH A SPIRIT OF GRACE UPON YOU, and you shall be unto Him sons in truth, and you shall walk in His commandments, the first and the last.
47. 76THIS IS THE BRANCH OF GOD MOST HIGH, What? THIS IS THE BRANCH OF GOD MOST HIGH, What? THIS IS THE BRANCH OF GOD MOST HIGH, The Righteous Branch! and this the Well-spring unto life for all flesh.
48. THEN SHALL THE SCEPTRE OF MY KINGDOM SHINE FORTH, AND FROM YOUR ROOT SHALL ARISE A STEM;. The Teaching we received recently
49. AND IN IT SHALL ARISE A ROD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THE GENTILES, TO JUDGE AND TO SAVE ALL THAT CALL UPON THE LORD.
50. 77And after these things shall Abraham and Isaac and Jacob arise unto life, and I and my brethren will be chiefs, even your sceptre in Israel: Levi first, I the second, Joseph third, Benjamin fourth, Simeon fifth, Issachar sixth, and so all in order.
51. Pure revelation. The Twelve Elders in the Book of Revelation representing the twelve tribes of Israel.
52. I remember in 1993, in Amazu Oil when God restored the ordinances of the Holy Communion and feet washing. He said, “There must be Twelve Elders who will run round this particular Altar.” He began to pick twelve.
53. He said, “LORD, as Elijah commanded the twelve tribes to pour water upon this altar; the same altar the prophets of Baal erected, but called and no fire came down.”
54. That same altar He has re-arranged and said, “Bring a bucket of water from each tribe and pour on it.”
55. The twelve elders gathered and He said, “LORD, if I have succeeded in erecting this altar as it was from the very beginning, cause Me to use light to administer this Holy Communion, for I will not administer it in darkness, though there has not been anything called electricity in Nkpor for over three months. You performed the miracle in the water. Perform it in the light.”
56. It was Obadiah’s feet that I was about to hold, and light came. A great noise was heard in the whole of Nkpor with everywhere shaking. The people living in the compound rushed out, for they heard My Voice.
57. He said, “Judas MUST leave us tonight.” Judas appeared and also left; who made a horrible confession of how he stole bank’s money and things like that; and was hiding in our midst. His name is Augustine from Delta State, who was working in Oceanic Bank.
58. Things happen according to prophecy. See all that the sons of Jacob told their children. See all of them coming to pass.
59. At last, the prophesied Messiah is here, eating and drinking with human beings. He is no longer coming from anywhere. He is here with you right now.
60. I want your eyes of understanding to open to know who is talking and know why He is talking.
61. Has He been referring to somebody else? Has he given you the impression that somebody is coming after Him? Has He given you the impression that He has Many years to go? He is telling you that we are now at the Gate, waiting for late arrivals.
62. And any moment from now, when you least expect, He will make His hand like this, and the door will open.
63. Why not pause and think? HOW READY ARE YOU FOR THIS GREAT WEDDING SUPPER?
64. The Message came out today, preached by Apostle Ugonna in Lagos. You will get your booklet today. How Ready Are You For That Wedding Supper?
65. The Teaching I gave has come out today. Be Strong In The Lord And In The Power Of His Might [Volumes 1, 2 & 3].
66. What makes you strong? Knowledge of the Truth. Knowledge of the Truth about your Faith; about your belief; about your God; about your mission on earth, and why things are happening to you the way they are happening.
67. Even many times the devil will come to tempt your soul away, something will say, “Do not listen to him.” When you try to go to the right, you hear the same Voice, “Where do you want to go? This is The Way; walk ye in it.”
68. When you draw back now, are you not drawing back unto perdition? We that march forward amidst criticisms and oppositions, have we not arrived at the point where we are no longer afraid of whether God will save us or not?
69. Nobody from among us who has believed Me from the beginning and tarried with Me till now, is in doubt as to whether God will save that him or her or not. All doubts have been cleared.
70. We are standing on a sure and approved foundation that can never be shaken, for we have a Kingdom that can never be destroyed. Neither can it be shaken one bit.
71. We can see the Righteous Branch. We can see the Root. We can see the Stalk. We can see the Stem. We can see the Uniting Point between the Jews and the Gentiles. So there is nothing like impersonation.
72. There is no impersonator that has ever come with a Teaching. They came presenting themselves. The next thing is the politics of unity and politics of peace, when there is no peace.
73. Check all that claimed or claims to be the Messiah and see whether there is anything traceable to them as teaching. They just come making false claims and false assertions they cannot even concretize [prove] before people convincingly.
74. But it is not so with us. We are not boasting, we are not making any noise. Nobody is hearing our Voice on the street.
75. It is a quiet move, picking the Elect wherever they are throughout the whole world from every race, from every tongue, every language and from every tribe. No matter where that person is, God will take him.
76. 78And the Lord blessed Levi; the Angel of the Presence, me; the powers of glory, Simeon; the heaven, Reuben; the earth, Issachar; the sea, Zebulun; the mountains, Joseph; the tabernacle, Benjamin; the lights of heaven, Dan; the fatness of earth, Naphtali; the sun, Gad; the olive, Asher:…
77. Have you noticed what is happening there? In order of reward, the offices are rearranged. Judah becomes first. The fourth son is placed first. Then the first son Reuben is placed fourth. Did you get it there?
78. After, you go through it again. But the greatest joy there is that all of them are rewarded according to their works. All were rewarded according to how their works were before the LORD God Almighty.
79. …and there shall be one people of the Lord, and one tongue; and there shall no more be a spirit of deceit of Beliar,’ for he shall be cast into the fire forever. Amen!
80. So, in the end, there shall be One people and one language. And that will be Hebrew.
81. Have you seen that God is teaching us right? One People. One tongue. It will be the tongue of the people and not the tongue of another people.
82. 79And they who have died in grief shall arise in joy, and they who have lived in poverty for the Lord’s sake shall be made rich, and they who have been in want shall be filled, and they who have been weak shall be made strong, and they who have been put to death for the Lord’s sake shall awake in life.
83. 80And the harts of Jacob shall run in joyfulness, and the eagles of Israel shall fly in gladness; but the ungodly shall lament, and sinners all weep, and all the people shall glorify the Lord forever.
84. Who now doubts resurrection? Okay o. Since you know there is resurrecting to account for your deeds and receive your reward, you do not need a prophet to tell you how to begin to conduct yourself.
85. When you feel you are wiser than God and wiser than the Prophets and all these counsel, you go ahead with your wickedness which you perpetrate yourself to the hurt of your soul, for you are the only one that will receive the reward of whatever you are perpetrating.
86. Only the righteous benefits from his lifestyle. Equally, only the wicked benefits from his wicked ways. We read in Job 22.
87. 2Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he that is wise is profitable to himself. 3Is it any pleasure or advantage to the Almighty that you are righteous (upright and in right standing with Him)? Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways perfect? [Job 22:2 – 3 AMP]
88. Obinna get up from slumber. You have slept enough since you came back.
89. 81Observe, therefore, my children, all the law of the Lord, for there is hope for all them who follow His way aright. And he said to them: I die before your eyes this day, a hundred and nineteen years old.
90. Let no one bury me in costly apparel, nor tear open my bowels, for this shall they who are kings do: and carry me up to Hebron with you.
91. 82And Judah, when he had said these things, fell asleep; and his sons did according to all whatsoever he commanded them, and they buried him in Hebron with his fathers.
Brethren, The Resurrected Body is in the Bride. Who will speak and it will come to pass? God! Remember, that is the One Still Small Voice speaking in the midst of many Voices, but His own is distinct, hidden in simplicity somewhere in the wilderness. A Voice away from all! The Message of THE SON OF MAN can be summarized in a statement titled, “Heaven made possible.” ….
BE MINDFUL OF THE WORDS THAT WERE SPOKEN AGAINST YOU; preached on Sunday 8th January 2012 Pg. 26 vs. 19 – 20

THERE IS VIRTUE IN SIMPLICITY
CHAPTER FIVE [V]:— THE TESTAMENT OF ISSACHAR CONCERNING SIMPLICITY.
2. The best record. Of all the sons of Jacob, Issachar commanded the best record. Though very few was documented, but he has the best record, according to My own Book. I wrote it, “The Best Record.”
3. So when you are setting your eyes on your masterpiece, be very careful that you do not make a wrong choice.
4. 1The record of the words of Issachar. He called his sons, and said to them: Hearken, my children, to Issachar your father; give ear to my words, you who are beloved of the Lord.
5. 2I was the fifth son born to Jacob, even the hire of the mandrakes. For Reuben brought in mandrakes from the field, and Rachel met him and took them. And Reuben wept, and at his voice Leah my mother came forth.
6. 3Now these mandrakes were sweet-smelling apples which the land of Aram produced on high ground below a ravine of water.
7. The children of Leah. The sons of Leah; the first wife of Jacob. The sons of Leah, not sons of Rachel.
8. And Rachel said, I will not give them to you, for they shall be to me instead of children.
9. 4Now there were two apples; and Leah said, Let it suffice you that you have taken the husband of my virginity: will you also take these? And she said, Behold, let Jacob be to you this night instead of the mandrakes of your son.
10. 5And Leah said to her, Boast not, and vaunt not yourself; for Jacob is mine, and I am the wife of his youth. But Rachel said, How so? For to me was he first espoused, and for my sake he served our father fourteen years. Two biological sisters!
11. 6What shall I do to you, because the craft and the subtlety of men are increased, and craft prospers upon the earth? And were it not so, you would not now see the face of Jacob.
12. 7For you are not his wife, but in craft were taken to him in my stead. And my father deceived me, and removed me on that night, and suffered me not to see him; for had I been there, it had not happened thus.
13. 8And Rachel said, Take one mandrake, and for the other you shall hire him from me for one night. And Jacob knew Leah, and she conceived and bare me, AND ON ACCOUNT OF THE HIRE I WAS CALLED ISSACHAR.
14. 9Then appeared to Jacob an angel of the Lord, saying, Two children shall Rachel bear; for she has refused company with her husband, and has chosen continency.
15. And had not Leah my mother given up the two apples for the sake of his company, she would have borne eight sons; and for this thing she bare six, and Rachel two: because on account of the mandrakes the Lord visited her.
16. 10For He knew that for the sake of children she wished to company with Jacob, and not for lust of pleasure. For she went further, and on the morrow too gave up Jacob that she might receive also the other mandrake.
17. 11Therefore the Lord hearkened to Rachel because of the mandrakes: for though she desired them, she ate them not, but brought them to the priest of the Most High who was at that time, and offered them up in the house of the Lord.
18. 12When, therefore, I grew up, my children, I walked in uprightness of heart, and I became a husbandman for my parents and my brethren,… A Blessing! …and I brought in fruits from the field according to their season; and my father blessed me, for he saw that I walked in simplicity.
19. 13And I was not a busybody in my doings, nor malicious and slanderous against my neighbour. I never spoke against any one, nor did I censure the life of any man, but walked in the simplicity of my eyes.
20. 14Therefore when I was thirty years old I took to myself a wife, for my labour wore away my strength, and I never thought upon pleasure with women; but through my labour my sleep sufficed me, and my father always rejoiced in my simplicity.
21. How many years? Thirty years! Okay o.
22. 15FOR ON WHATEVER I LABOURED I OFFERED FIRST TO THE LORD, BY THE HANDS OF THE PRIESTS, OF ALL MY PRODUCE AND ALL FIRST-FRUITS; THEN TO MY FATHER, AND THEN TOOK FOR MYSELF.
23. And the Lord increased two-fold His benefits in my hands; and Jacob also knew that God aided my simplicity,…
24. Do we have a Message on Simplicity? [DO NOT BE CORRUPTED BY THE SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST; Sunday 14th December 2008]
25. …for on every poor man and every one in distress I bestowed the good things of the earth in simplicity of heart.
26. 16AND NOW HEARKEN TO ME, MY CHILDREN, AND WALK IN SIMPLICITY OF HEART, FOR I HAVE SEEN IN IT ALL THAT IS WELL-PLEASING TO THE LORD.
27. [1] The simple covets not gold, [2] defrauds not his neighbour, [3] longs not after manifold dainties, [4] delights not in varied apparel, [5] does not picture to himself to live a long life, [6] but only waits for the will of God and [7] the spirits of error have no power against him. Sure!!!
28. There is virtue in simplicity. Obedience is very easy to a simple fellow. But the haughty and proud fellow will be arrogant, stubborn and disobedient.
29. 17For he cannot allow within his mind a thought of female beauty, that he should not pollute his mind in corruption. That is truth! No envy can enter into his thoughts, Never! no jealousy melts away his soul, nor does he brood over gain with insatiate desire; for he walks in uprightness of life, and beholds all things in simplicity, not admitting in his eyes malice from the error of the world, lest he should see the perversion of any of the commandments of the Lord.
30. 18Keep therefore the law of God, my children, and get simplicity, and walk in guilelessness, not prying over-curiously into the commands of God and the business of your neighbour; but love the Lord and your neighbour, have compassion on the poor and weak.
31. 19Bow down your back unto husbandry, and labour in tillage of the ground in all manner of husbandry, offering gifts unto the Lord with thanksgiving; FOR WITH THE FIRST-FRUITS OF THE EARTH DID THE LORD BLESS ME, EVEN AS HE BLESSED ALL THE SAINTS FROM ABEL EVEN UNTIL NOW.
32. 20For no other portion is given to you than of the fatness of the earth, whose fruits are raised by toil; for our father Jacob blessed me with blessings of the earth and of first-fruits.
33. And Levi and Judah were glorified by the Lord among the sons of Jacob; for the Lord made choice of them, and to the one He gave the priesthood, to the other the kingdom.
34. 21Them therefore obey, and walk in the simplicity of your father; for unto Gad has it been given to destroy the temptations that are coming upon Israel.
35. 22I know, my children, that in the last times, your sons will forsake simplicity, and will cleave unto avarice, and leaving guilelessness will draw near to malice, and forsaking the commandments of the Lord will cleave unto Beliar, and leaving husbandry will follow after their wicked devices, and shall be dispersed among the Gentiles, and shall serve their enemies.
36. 23And do you therefore command these things to your children, that if they sin they may the more quickly return to the Lord; for He is merciful, and will deliver them even to bring them back into their land.
37. 24I am a hundred and twenty-two years old, and I know not against myself a sin unto death. Except my wife, I have not known any woman. I never committed fornication in the haughtiness of my eyes; I drank not wine, to be led astray thereby;
38. I coveted not any desirable thing that was my neighbour’s; guile never entered in my heart; a lie never passed through my lips; if any man grieved, I wept with him, and I shared my bread with the poor.
39. 25I never ate alone; I moved no landmark; in all my days I wrought godliness and truth. I loved the Lord with all my strength; likewise also did I love every man even as my own children.
40. 26So do these things also, my children, and every spirit of Beliar shall flee from you, and no deed of malicious men shall rule over you; and every wild beast shall you subdue, having with yourselves the God of heaven walking with men in simplicity of heart.
41. 27And he commanded them that they should carry him up to Hebron, and bury him there in the cave with his fathers. And he stretched out his feet and died, the fifth son of Jacob, in a good old age; and with every limb sound, and with strength unabated, he slept the eternal sleep.

WE ARE LIVING IN THE MIDST OF FULFILMENT OF ANCIENT PROPHECIES
[1]
CHAPTER SIX [VI]:— THE TESTAMENT OF ZEBULUN CONCERNING COMPASSION AND MERCY.
2. 1The record of Zebulun, which he enjoined his children in the hundred and fourteenth year of his life, thirty-two years after the death of Joseph. And he said to them: Hearken to me sons of Zebulun, attend to the words of your father.
3. 2I am Zebulun, a good gift to my parents. For when I was born our father was increased very exceedingly, both in flocks and herds, when with the streaked rods he had his portion. I know not, my children, that in all my days I have sinned, save only in thought.
4. 3Nor do I remember that I have done any iniquity, except the sin of ignorance which I committed against Joseph; for I screened my brethren, not telling to my father what had been done.
5. 4And I wept sore in secret, for I feared my brethren, because they had all agreed together, that if any one should declare the secret, he should be slain with the sword. But when they wished to kill him, I adjured them much with tears not to be guilty of this iniquity.
6. 5For Simeon and Gad came against Joseph to kill him. And Joseph fell upon his face, and said to them, Pity me, my brethren, have compassion upon the bowels of Jacob our father: lay not upon me your hands to shed innocent blood, for I have not sinned against you; yea, if I have sinned, with chastening chastise me, but lay not upon me your hand, for the sake of Jacob our father.
7. 6And as he spoke these words, I pitied him and began to weep, and my heart melted within me, and all the substance of my bowels was loosened within my soul. And Joseph also wept, and I too wept with him; and my heart throbbed fast, and the joints of my body trembled, and I was not able to stand.
8. 7And when he saw me weeping with him, and them coming against him to slay him, he fled behind me, beseeching them. And Reuben rose and said, My brethren, let us not slay him, but let us cast him into one of these dry pits which our fathers dug and found no water.
9. 8For this cause the Lord forbade that water should rise up in them, in order that Joseph might be preserved; and the Lord appointed it so, until they sold him to the Ishmaelites.
10. 9For in the price of Joseph, my children, I had no share; but Simeon and Gad and six other of our brethren took the price of Joseph, and bought sandals for themselves, their wives, and their children, saying, We will not eat of it, for it is the price of our brother’s blood, but will tread it down under foot, because he said that he was king over us, and so let us see what his dreams mean.
11. 10Therefore is it written in the writing of the law of Enoch, that whosoever will not raise up seed to his brother, his sandal shall be unloosed, and they shall spit into his face.
12. 11And the brethren of Joseph wished not that their brother should live, and the Lord loosed unto them the sandal of Joseph. For when they came into Egypt they were unloosed by the servants of Joseph before the gate, and so made obeisance to Joseph after the fashion of Pharaoh.
13. For any seed a man soweth, that he will reap. It has equally fulfilled before Me.
14. 12And not only did they make obeisance to him, but were spit upon also, falling down before him immediately, and so they were put to shame before the Egyptians; For after this the Egyptians heard all the evils which we had done to Joseph.
15. 13After these things they brought forth food; for I through two days and two nights tasted nothing, through pity for Joseph. And Judah ate not with them, but watched the pit; for he feared lest Simeon and Gad should run back and slay him.
16. 14And when they saw that I also ate not, they set me to watch him until he was sold. And he remained in the pit three days and three nights, and so was sold famishing.
17. 15And when Reuben heard that while he was away Joseph had been sold, he rent his clothes about him, and mourned, saying, How shall I look in the face of Jacob my father? And he took the money, and ran after the merchants, and found no one; for they had left the main road, and journeyed hastily through rugged byways.
18. 16And Reuben ate no food on that day. Dan therefore came to him, and said, Weep not, neither grieve; for I have found what we can say to our father Jacob.
19. Let us slay a kid of the goats, and dip in it the coat of Joseph; and we will say, Look, if this is the coat of your son: for they stripped off from Joseph the coat of our father when they were about to sell him, and put upon him an old garment of a slave.
20. 17Now Simeon had the coat, and would not give it up, wishing to rend it with his sword; for he was angry that Joseph lived, and that he had not slain him. Then we all rose up together against him, and said,
21. If you give it not up, we will say that you alone did this wickedness in Israel; and so he gave it up, and they did even as Dan had said.
22. 18And now, my children, I bid you to keep the commands of the Lord, and to show mercy upon your neighbour, and to have compassion towards all, not towards men only, but also towards beasts.
23. 19FOR, FOR THIS THING’S SAKE THE LORD BLESSED ME; AND WHEN ALL MY BRETHREN WERE SICK I ESCAPED WITHOUT SICKNESS, FOR THE LORD KNOWS THE PURPOSES OF EACH.
24. HAVE THEREFORE COMPASSION IN YOUR HEARTS, MY CHILDREN, BECAUSE EVEN AS A MAN DOES TO HIS NEIGHBOUR, EVEN SO ALSO WILL THE LORD DO TO HIM. Sure!!!
25. 20For the sons of my brethren were sickening, were dying on account of Joseph, because they showed not mercy in their hearts; but my sons were preserved without sickness, as you know. And when I was in Canaan, by the sea-coast, I caught spoil of fish for Jacob my father; and when many were choked in the sea, I abode unhurt.
26. 21I was the first who made a boat to sail upon the sea, for the Lord gave me understanding and wisdom therein; and I let down a rudder behind it, and I stretched a sail on an upright mast in the midst; and sailing therein along the shores, I caught fish for the house of my father until we went into Egypt; and through compassion, I gave of my fish to every stranger.
27. 22And if any man were a stranger, or sick, or aged, I boiled the fish and dressed them well, and offered them to all men as every man had need, bringing them together and having compassion upon them.
28. 23Wherefore also the Lord granted me to take much fish: for he that imparts unto his neighbour, receives manifold more from the Lord. Sure!!!
29. For five years I caught fish, and gave thereof to every man whom I saw, and brought sufficient for all the house of my father.
30. Have I taught you generosity? Hospitality without discrimination. Be generous; be hospitable without discrimination. You will never lack anything good, for givers do not lack. Givers do not lack. Do you believe that?
31. I have always been encouraging you to live transparent lives, loving and appreciating God and one another. And that whatever you have given to generosity for the sake of Christ can never go unrewarded. It can never make you poor. Rather, it can promote your livelihood.
32. David said, “I was young, but now I am old. I have never seen a seed of God forsaken, nor begging bread.”
33. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. [Psalms 37:25 KJV]
34. Nobody has ever been impoverished for serving God in spirit and in truth. Nobody! For the LORD said, “No good thing shall the LORD God Almighty withhold from those that walk uprightly.” Take note of it.
35. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. [Psalms 84:11 KJV]
36. So, at every point in time, sow to yourselves in righteousness that you may reap in mercy.
37. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. [Hosea 10:12 KJV]
38. The law of sowing and reaping is an irrevocable law of God. It does not know who you are. So, whatever we are reading here is contained in the Book of Galatians chapter 6 verse 7, “Be ye not deceived. God is not mocked. Any seed a man soweth, that he must reap.”
39. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. KJV
40. But where, after hearing all these things, receiving all these teachings from our Patriarchs, and you remain intransigent and unyielding to the truth; unbending, obstinate, hard-hearted, well, I will conclude that it is the way you are ordained.
41. Will there be any other remedy? I do not know what type of remedy you are expecting. To God be the Glory.
42. We may not finish it, but if we are strong, we can finish it. If you say we are able to finish it, we must finish it, for other chapters are very very short.
43. In the summer I caught fish, and in the winter I kept sheep with my brethren.
44. 24Now I will declare unto you what I did, I saw a man in distress and nakedness in wintertime, and had compassion upon him, and stole away a garment secretly from my house, and gave it to him who was in distress.
45. THEREFORE, MY CHILDREN, FROM THAT WHICH GOD BESTOWS UPON YOU, YOU SHOULD SHOW COMPASSION AND MERCY IMPARTIALLY TO ALL MEN,… Amen!!! …and give to every man WITH A GOOD HEART.
46. Not with the intent to show superiority; to enslave, to ridicule or to reproach.
47. And if you have nothing at the time to give to him that asks you, have compassion for him in bowels of mercy.
48. 26I know that my hand found nothing at the time to give to him that asked me, and I walked with him weeping for more than seven furlongs, and my bowels yearned towards him unto compassion.
49. 27Have therefore yourselves also, my children, compassion towards every man with mercy, that the Lord also may have compassion upon you, and have mercy upon you; because also IN THE LAST DAYS GOD SENDS HIS COMPASSION ON THE EARTH, AND WHERESOEVER HE FINDS BOWELS OF MERCY, HE DWELLS IN HIM. Amen!
50. But where He finds wickedness, will he dwell there? Where He finds heartlessness, will he dwell there?
51. [5]“The truth remains that if you do not prosper, it is because you are wicked. And your bright flame shall be put out. [6]There will be darkness in every home where there is wickedness. [Job 18:5 – 6 LB]
52. We are in the last days. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
53. 28For how much compassion a man has upon his neighbours, so much also has the Lord upon him. For when we went down into Egypt, Joseph bore no malice against us, and when he saw me he was filled with compassion.
54. And looking towards him, do ye also, my children, approve yourselves without malice, and love one another; and reckon not each one the evil of his brother, for this breaks unity, and divides all kindred, and troubles the soul: Amen! for he who bears malice has not bowels of mercy. Sure!!!
55. 30Mark the waters, that they flow together, and sweep along stones, trees, sand; but if they are divided into many streams, the earth sucks them up, and they become of no account. So also shall you be if you be divided.
56. 31Divide not yourselves into two heads, for everything which the Lord made has but one head; He gave two shoulders, hands, feet, but all the members are subject unto the one head.
57. 32I have learned by the writing of my fathers, that in the last days you will depart from the Lord, and be divided in Israel, and you will follow two kings, and will work every abomination, and every idol will you worship, and your enemies shall lead you captive, and you shall dwell among the nations with all infirmities and tribulations and anguish of soul.
58. It fulfilled to the letter in the days of Ahab and Jehoshaphat when Israel was divided into two kingdoms: The Northern kingdom and the Southern kingdom, with the Northern kingdom ruled by Ahab made up of ten tribes, while in the Southern kingdom made up of Judah and Benjamin, Jehoshaphat was the ruler.
59. Why? Because of the evil of the first king called Saul; king Saul, the son of Kish who committed abominable things in the sight of God.
60. 33And after these things you will remember the Lord, and will repent, and He will lead you back; for He is merciful and full of compassion, not imputing evil to the sons of men, because they are flesh, and the spirits of error deceive them in all their doings.
61. 34AND AFTER THESE THINGS SHALL THE LORD HIMSELF ARISE TO YOU,…
62. Wait a little. Get Me Amplified version of the Bible and the Living Bible immediately. Be very fast. 2 Corinthians 5. Read verse 19.
63. Amplified version. 19It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favour with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favour).
64. Living Bible. [19]For God was in Christ, restoring the world to himself, no longer counting men’s sins against them but blotting them out. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others.
65. 34AND AFTER THESE THINGS SHALL THE LORD HIMSELF… He was in Christ! As Christ! Revealing Himself as Christ, reconciling and restoring the world unto Himself; no longer imputing their sins upon them.
66. That is why, when you believe in Him, trust in Him, confide in Him and obey His commandments (which are not grievous), you are absolved completely from all those things from which you could not have been set free if you were to live your life under the laws of Moses.
67. He became our Justifier, our Righteousness, our Sanctification, our Holiness, our Baptism, even our Translation.
………However, thank God, the Elect cannot be deceived because they wait on God at His Word by revelation and not by letter. Knowing this, that all these must come to pass in our day, I warn all men to be patient and not be quick in calling anything God or Devil, lest you will be guilty before God. But prove all things by His written Word and inspired revelation (Divine). Do not be quick in judging anything for time will vindicate all things, whether they be of God or Devil.

WE ARE LIVING IN THE MIDST OF FULFILMENT OF ANCIENT PROPHECIES [2]
AND AFTER THESE THINGS SHALL THE LORD HIMSELF ARISE TO YOU, Malachi 4:2
2. 2But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. KJV
3. THE LIGHT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HEALING AND COMPASSION SHALL BE UPON HIS WINGS. HE SHALL REDEEM ALL CAPTIVITY OF THE SONS OF MEN FROM BELIAR, AND EVERY SPIRIT OF ERROR SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN. Sure!!!
4. 34And He shall bring back all the nations to zeal for Him, AND YOU SHALL SEE GOD IN THE FASHION OF A MAN WHOM THE LORD SHALL CHOOSE,…
5. Like, “This is the man I have chosen. He is My well-beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased. Hear ye Him.”
6. But this time around in this closing hour of the day, Malachi Who culminated into the New Testament, “After all these things, you shall see the LORD. See Him as a Human Being tabernacling among human beings, eating, drinking and having everything in common.”
7. Brethren, nothing can be truer than the truth. So, if you feel that I have been deceiving you all these years, for which cause you are misbehaving, you can now begin to see how far you have placed yourself from the salvation of God;
8. For it is God Who said, “Whether you understand it or not, follow Me anyhow. But if you are doubting, continue to doubt and I will continue to move. Continue to doubt and I will continue to move.
9. I will rest at nothing until I get to the Gate. When I get to the Gate of Paradise, I will turn My face and then behold the Congregation and begin to reply My opponents.
10. If I will begin now to tackle their question as they criticize Me, I will distract My attention from My target. No!”
11. He said, “Criticize Me if you can. Destructively or constructively, I welcome all. It is your right. But as many as will endure and follow Me till the end, even if they do not have anything to say, they will say, “Surely, the Elohim dwelleth in THE SON OF MAN.””
12. Today, what can we say again? What can we say again? Brethren, do we still have any other thing to say? Is there anything to doubt? Is there anything to argue.
13. See! Abraham saw His day. He said, “Abraham saw My day and rejoiced, for before Abraham, I was.”
14. Get Me Living Bible. 1 John chapter 1 from verse 1.
15. [1]Christ was alive when the world began,… When the world began, was Abraham alive? Was he there? …yet I myself have seen him with my own eyes and listened to him speak. I have touched him with my own hands. He is God’s message of life.
16. [2]This one who is life from God has been shown to us, and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ,… I am speaking of Who? Christ! Is it not true? …I am speaking of Christ, who is eternal Life. He was with the Father and then was shown to us. Amen!
17. [3]Again I say, we are telling you about what we ourselves have actually seen and heard, so that you may share the fellowship and the joys we have with the Father and with Jesus Christ his son.
18. And if you do as I say in this letter, then you, too, will be full of joy, and so will we. Amen!
19. Hebrews 13:8, Good News Bible. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Amen!
20. Colossians 1:16, Living Bible. Of course you know it. Christ Himself is the One Who created both the heaven and the earth, and everything therein.
21. [16]CHRIST HIMSELF IS THE CREATOR WHO MADE EVERYTHING IN HEAVEN AND EARTH, the things we can see and the things we can’t; the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers and authorities; all were made by Christ for his own use and glory.
22. And when you go to John 1:14, you see Him there. The word [Christ] became a human being.
23. [14]AND CHRIST BECAME A HUMAN BEING AND LIVED HERE ON EARTH AMONG US and was full of loving forgiveness and truth. And some of us have seen his glory—the glory of the only Son of the heavenly Father!
24. Even in Hebrews chapter 2 verse 14, the Scriptures said, “Since you children of God have become human beings, he also became a human being.”
25. Living Bible. [14]Since we, God’s children, are human beings—made of flesh and blood—he became flesh and blood too by being born in human form; for only as a human being could he die and in dying break the power of the devil who had the power of death.
26. I am not talking of being a human being or not, but I am trying to show you fulfilments of these ancient prophecies of what will happen in the future years, for which cause the Twelve Patriarchs gathered their sons and prepared their minds ahead of time so that they will not be found in error. Amen!
27. Are you not a privileged people to be living in the midst of the fulfilment of prophecies that went forth afore time? Why must it be in your day and not in the days of your fathers?
28. Why? Who opened your eyes. Who brought you into this Fellowship with God Himself. Oh!
29. My daughter said during My birthday by revelation, referring to the Anglican cathedral in Onitsha, [she said] “Brethren, I want to tell you that even if we pull down this building in celebration, in honour and in appreciation of THE SON OF MAN for His contributions to our lives and families, it is not enough.”
30. But there are some who have been feeling that they have worshipped God too much, when they have not even taken off. While some are of the opinion that THE SON OF MAN is taking too much. Why is He taking too much?
31. A sure sign that they are yet to know Who He is. And these are the people who are following for following sake. Nominal members. Nominal followers.
32. In terms of contributions, spiritually and physically, their contributions are zero. Those that have made zero contributions; these are the people that grumble and grudge because they are filled with the spirit of envy and jealousy.
33. But it is not so with every true Elect. Every true Elect is rejoicing that he is a part of what God is doing in his day. He is not only a witness, but a partaker. Many are witnesses. Some are partakers. Which one are you? Are you a partaker or a witness?
34. This is because we are already in the Kingdom, but many are outside the Kingdom and they know it not. As many as are yet to meet with the standard THE SON OF MAN set for full and complete salvation, they are still outside My Ark and they are outside the Kingdom.
35. They are not yet among those that have been chosen, confirmed, marked and stamped as Christ’s own. Take note!
36. I told you, “At the end, many will beat their chests in regret saying that if they had known, they would not have been rebelling and quarrelling with the Truth; and that they would not have been denying themselves of the opportunities God offered for them to be saved, by being hypocrites.”
37. To God be the Glory. I am sorry for over-flogging it. Let us continue.
38. 34And He shall bring back all the nations to zeal for Him,… Is it not happening today? See what is happening in the websites. All those that rejected Him are now sorrowing. They have accepted Him.
39. Go to the reports. Sometimes, Israel might be coming first. Sometimes, UAE will come first. You will see Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. You will see UAE [United Arab Emirates].
40. You will see all the countries in the middle East scrambling because they have seen Him. They are sure. They are certain.
41. This week alone, go and see the figure. You have it in your handsets. Has their zeal not been renewed? They have seen the hand writing on the wall.
42. And being sons and daughters of Jacob, they know it is all over, for they were told by their fathers, starting from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob of what will happen here in the last days and the signs they will see and they will know that it is finished.
43. So, William Branham is a vindicated Prophet of God. The last Sign is THE SON OF MAN standing here on earth in the midst of the Bride. He did not say, “In the midst of the church.” Which church? Is it catholic or Methodist or Anglican? It must be in a group away from all.
44. 310….THE SON OF MAN will be revealed in a body of flesh, you people the church, just exactly like it was before the days of Sodom, A CALLED-OUT GROUP AWAY FROM ALL OF THEM, SETTING OUT, BELIEVING THE PROMISE OF GOD. Glory. [WORKS IS FAITH EXPRESSED by William Branham; Preached on Friday, 26th November 1965 at the Life Tabernacle in Shreveport, Louisiana, U.S.A.]
45. And you are privileged to be in that LITTLE GROUP the prophet foretold where these things will happen. And this Family happens to be where God has chosen to be the Mount Zion from where His Glory will be shining forth.
46. In the whole world today, see the Light of Righteousness shining everywhere, taking its origin from this family. Are you surprised why the devil is not happy.
47. SONG: [Feeling so much happy, talking about this good old way. I am feeling so much happy, talking about the LORD. Oh! Let’s go on. Let’s go on talking about this good old way. Let’s go on. Let’s go on talking about the LORD.
48. The devil he’s not happy when we’re talking about this good old way. Satan is not happy when we’re talking about the LORD.
49. Oh! Let’s go on. Let’s go on talking about this good old way. Let’s go on. Let’s go on talking about the LORD]
50. 34And He shall bring back all the nations to zeal for Him, AND YOU SHALL SEE GOD IN THE FASHION OF A MAN…
51. You shall see God. How many times have you seen this thing? Almost all the sons of Jacob. If Abraham never confirmed it, and Isaac never did, do you think that they would have passed it unto their children, with all of them speaking in the same vein at various ages? Is it not true? Were they born at the same time? Ages differ. Places of birth differ.
52. Abraham told Isaac. Isaac told Jacob. Jacob told his children. Can you imagine? People referring to Abraham. I mean grandsons referring to Abraham, their great grandfather.
53. Can you imagine Chidera My grandson referring to My father, Okwute? Can you imagine that he took delight in bringing him [Chidera] closer, talking to him daily?
54. We are children of the Most High God, for whom the Saviour is sent. Have you not been hearing it? You are the people of the Most High God. For your sake, the Saviour is sent.
55. 34And He shall bring back all the nations to zeal for Him,… Has He not done that?
56. …AND YOU SHALL SEE GOD IN THE FASHION OF A MAN WHOM THE LORD SHALL CHOOSE, JERUSALEM IS HIS NAME. And again with the wickedness of your words will you provoke Him to anger, and you shall be cast away, even unto the time of consummation.
57. 36And now, my children, grieve not that I am dying, nor be troubled in that I am passing away from you. For I shall arise once more in the midst of you, as a ruler in the midst of his sons; and I will rejoice in the midst of my tribe, as many as have kept the law of the Lord, and the commandments of Zebulun their father.
58. When the Glory of God came down in our midst, the Voice said, “This place; this Tabernacle that is called by the Name of the LORD shall be referred to as the House of Refuge and the JERUSALEM OF THE GENTILES.” True or false?
59. From that day, all that were coming to the Fellowship from far and wide said they were going to Jerusalem. True or false?
60. Without consultation, you fulfil Scriptures ignorantly. But today, you can see it there. That is the Name. “GALILEE OF THE GENTILES; THE LAND THAT WAS LIVING IN DARKNESS. ZEBULUN!” Zebulun!
61. We even wrote it on the board and hung it there. The revelation God gave us; THE LAND THAT WAS FORMERLY IN DARKNESS, NOW HAS SEEN THE LIGHT. IT SHALL BE CALLED THE GALILEE OF THE GENTILES. HEAVENLY JERUSALM HERE ON EARTH. THE CITY OF THE MOST HIGH GOD. ITS NAME SHALL BE JERUSALEM OF THE GENTILES AND GOD’S OWN HOUSE OF REFUGE.
62. 37But upon the ungodly shall the Lord bring everlasting fire, and will destroy them throughout all generations. I am hastening away unto my rest, as did my fathers; but fear the Lord your God with all your strength all the days of your life.
63. 38And when he had said these things he fell calmly asleep, and his sons laid him in a coffin; and afterwards they carried him up to Hebron, and buried him with his fathers.
We should not allow our self-ego and the pride of life, arrogance to ever creep into our hearts, talk less of having overriding influence over the Word of God. We should exalt the Word of God in our daily living, by living a life worthy of the Gospel we preach in all situations and at all times, making sure that our daily lives does not embarrass God; Making sure that our daily characters and manifestations do not counter the Truth we have received so far, for if we receive the Truth and live contrary, God will place us where He placed heathens.
BE CAREFUL THAT YOUR DAILY CHARACTER DOES NOT COUNTER THE TRUTH YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT; Preached on Sunday 29th November 2020Chapter 2 verse 6 through 8

WATCH OVER THOSE WHO LOVE FLATTERY
CHAPTER SEVEN [VII]:— THE TESTAMENT OF DAN CONCERNING ANGER AND LYING.
2. 1The record of the words of Dan,… And Dan is the most wicked of all. I wrote it down in My own copy. The most reckless. Let not any of you My children pattern after him. Look at what I wrote there. “Horrible experience!” Horrible!
3. 1The record of the words of Dan, which he spoke to his sons in his last days. In the hundred and twenty-fifth year of his life he called together his family, and said: Hearken to my words, you sons of Dan; give heed to the words of the mouth of your father.
4. 2I HAVE PROVED IN MY HEART, AND IN MY WHOLE LIFE, THAT TRUTH WITH JUST DEALING IS GOOD AND WELL-PLEASING TO GOD, AND THAT LYING AND ANGER ARE EVIL, BECAUSE THEY TEACH MAN ALL WICKEDNESS. Sure!!!
5. 3I confess this day to you, my children, that in my heart I rejoiced concerning the death of Joseph, a true and good man; and I rejoiced at the selling of Joseph, because his father loved him more than us.
6. 4For the spirit of jealousy and of vainglory said to me, You also are his son. And one of the spirits of Beliar wrought with me, saying, Take this sword, and with it slay Joseph; so shall your father love you when he is slain.
7. 5This is the spirit of anger that counselled me, that even as a leopard devours a kid, so should I devour Joseph. But the God of Jacob our father gave him not over into my hands that I should find him alone,… Amen! …nor suffered me to work this iniquity, that two tribes should be destroyed in Israel.
8. 6And now, my children, I am dying, and I tell you of a truth, that unless you keep yourselves from the spirit of lying and of anger, and lovetruth and long-suffering, you shall perish. Amen! In My copy, I wrote, “SURE!!! AMEN AND AMEN!”
9. 9There is blindness in anger, my children,… Sure!!! …and no wrathful man regards any person with truth: for though it be a father or a mother, he behaves towards them as enemies;… That is pure truth! …though it be a brother, he knows him not; though it be a prophet of the Lord, he disobeys him; though a righteous man, he regards him not; a friend he does not acknowledge.
10. 8For the spirit of anger encompasses him with the nets of deceit, and blinds his natural eyes, and through lying darkens his mind, and gives him a sight of his own making.
11. Anger now has its own eyes. Its own eyes. Listen and hear what it will work out.
12. 9And wherewith encompasses he his eyes? In hatred of heart; and he gives him a heart of his own against his brother unto envy.
13. 10My children, mischievous is anger, for it becomes as a soul to the soul itself; and the body of the angry man it makes its own, and over his soul it gets the mastery, and it bestows upon the body its own power, that it may work all iniquity; and whenever the soul does anything, it justifies what has been done, since it sees not. Sure!
14. 11Therefore he who is wrathful, if he be a mighty man, has a treble might in his anger;… Sure! …one by the might and aid of his servants, and a second by his wrath, whereby he persuades and overcomes in injustice: and having a third of the nature of his own body, and of his own self working the evil.
15. 12And though the wrathful man be weak, yet has he a might twofold of that which is by nature; for wrath ever aids such in mischief. That is pure truth!
16. This spirit goes always with lying at the right hand of Satan, that his works may be wrought with cruelty and lying. That is truth!
17. 13Understand therefore the might of wrath, that it is vain. It is vain! Vanity! For it first of all stings him in word: then by deeds it strengthens him who is angry, and with bitter punishments disturbs his mind, and so stirs up with great wrath his soul.
18. 14Therefore, when any one speaks against you, be not moved to anger. Amen! And if any man praises you as good, be not lifted up nor elated,… Amen!
19. This is because it is very good for a righteous man to correct you than for fools to sing your praise. And God has taught you that.
20. Do not allow yourself to be flattered by people, for they are the ones that will put you into trouble and they will help you out. Is it not true?
21. Watch those people that love flattery. Satan will use his agents to flatter them and to hail them. Anywhere they are, they are prominent.
22. It is easier for fools to gain prominence in any gathering than for wise people, for they [fools] aim at pleasing the people, but not pleasing God. And through that, they gain prominence among the people.
23. They become over popular and end it in poverty; Impoverished! Popular but poor. It promotes all kinds of haughtiness. It makes one to live above his means, while defending his ego, which he does not have, for whatever anyone that has pride has as ego, is false ego. Is it not true?
24. He does not have virtue. He has ego. And in the attempt to protect the ego, he can put his hand and his heart, and even his whole life into serious troubles, problems and conflicts with God and with fellow man, for they aim at pleasing human beings rather than God.
25. 14Therefore, when any one speaks against you, be not moved to anger. AND IF ANY MAN PRAISES YOU AS GOOD, BE NOT LIFTED UP NOR ELATED, EITHER TO THE FEELING OR SHOWING OF PLEASURE.
26. That is where they accuse THE SON OF MAN of being an ingrate. When you change your tone and begin to praise THE SON OF MAN, “Hei! You are the Almighty!”
27. You will hear, “Shut up! Tell Me what you want to tell Me. Do you know Me more than I know Myself? If you have no Message, I am switching off this phone.”
28. While you think I am not serious, I will switch off the phone and continue with what I am doing. Even if it rings a hundred times, I will not pick the phone again. I HATE FLATTERY
29. 15For first it pleases the hearing, and so stirs up the understanding to understand the grounds for anger; and then, being wrathful, he thinks that he is justlyangry.
30. If you fall into any loss or ruin, my children, be not troubled; for this very spirit makes men desire that which has perished, in order that they may be inflamed by the desire. That is pure truth.
31. 16If you suffer loss willingly, be not vexed, for from vexation he raises up wrath with lying. And wrath with lying is a twofold mischief;… Sure!!! …and they speak one with another that they may disturb the mind;
32. AND WHEN THE SOUL IS CONTINUALLY DISTURBED, THE LORD DEPARTS FROM IT, AND BELIAR RULES OVER IT. AMEN! Who rules over it? Devil!
33. 17Observe, therefore, my children, the commandments of the Lord, and keep His law; and depart from wrath, and hate lying, that the Lord may dwell among you, and Beliar may flee from you. Yes!!!
34. 18Speak truth each one with his neighbour, so shall you not fall into lust and confusion;… Is it not Scripture?
35. 8But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9LIE NOT ONE TO ANOTHER, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; [Colossians 3:8 – 9 KJV]
36. 14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, AND LIE NOT AGAINST THE TRUTH. 15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16FOR WHERE ENVYING AND STRIFE IS, THERE IS CONFUSION AND EVERY EVIL WORK. [James 3:14 – 16 KJV]
37. …but you shall be in peace, having the God of peace, so shall no war prevail over you.
38. 19Love the Lord through all your life, and one another with a true heart. For I know that in the last days you will depart from the Lord, and will provoke Levi unto anger, and will fight against Judah; but you shall not prevail against them. Yes!!!
39. 20For an angel of the Lord shall guide them both; for by them shall Israel stand. The Priesthood and Kingship.
40. And whenever you depart from the Lord, you will walk in all evil, working the abominations of the Gentiles, going astray with women of them that are ungodly; and the spirits of error shall work in you with all malice. It fulfilled to the letter.
41. 21For I have read in the Book of Enoch the righteous, that your prince is Satan, and that all the spirits of fornication and pride shall be subject unto Levi, to lay a snare for the sons of Levi, to cause them to sin before the Lord.
42. 22And my sons will draw near unto Levi, and sin with them in all things; and the sons of Judah will be covetous, plundering other men’s goods like lions. Influence!
43. Therefore shall you be led away with them in captivity,… Influence! …and there shall you receive all the plagues of Egypt, and all the malice of the Gentiles:
44. AND SO, WHEN YOU RETURN TO THE LORD, YOU SHALL OBTAIN MERCY, AND HE SHALL BRING YOU INTO HIS SANCTUARY, CALLING PEACE UPON YOU; AND THERE SHALL ARISE UNTO YOU FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH AND OF LEVI THE SALVATION OF THE LORD;
45. and He shall make war against Beliar, and He shall give the vengeance of victory to our coasts.
46. 23And the captivity shall He take from Beliar, even the souls of the saints, and shall turn disobedient hearts unto the Lord, AND SHALL GIVE TO THEM WHO CALL UPON HIM EVERLASTING PEACE;
47. AND THE SAINTS SHALL REST IN EDEN, Amen! Where? IN EDEN, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL REJOICE IN THE NEW JERUSALEM, WHICH SHALL BE UNTO THE GLORY OF GOD FOR EVER AND EVER. Amen!
48. 24AND NO LONGER SHALL JERUSALEM ENDURE DESOLATION, NOR ISRAEL BE LED CAPTIVE; FOR THE LORD SHALL BE IN THE MIDST OF HER, DWELLING AMONG MEN, EVEN THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL REIGNING OVER THEM IN HUMILITY AND IN POVERTY;… Amen! …AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL REIGN IN TRUTH IN THE HEAVENS. Amen and Amen!!!
49. 25And now, my children, fear the Lord, and take heed unto yourselves of Satan and his spirits; and draw near unto God, and to the Angel that intercedes for you, for He is a Mediator between God and man for the peace of Israel.
50. 26He shall stand up against the kingdom of the enemy; therefore is the enemy eager to destroy all that call upon the Lord. For he knows that in the day on which Israel shall believe, the kingdom of the enemy shall be brought to an end;… Sure!!! …and the very angel of peace shall strengthen Israel, that it fall not into the extremity of evil.
51. 27And it shall be in the time of the iniquity of Israel, that the Lord will depart from them, and will go after him that does His will,… Amen! …for unto none of His angels shall it be as unto him. Sure!
52. 28AND HIS NAME SHALL BE IN EVERY PLACE OF ISRAEL, AND AMONG THE GENTILES— SAVIOUR. Saviour! Saviour!
53. Keep therefore yourselves, my children, from evil work, and cast away wrath and all lying and love truth and long-suffering AND THE THINGS WHICH YOU HAVE HEARD FROM YOUR FATHER, IMPART ALSO TO YOUR CHILDREN, THAT THE FATHER OF THE GENTILES MAY RECEIVE YOU: FOR HE IS TRUE AND LONG-SUFFERING, MEEK AND LOWLY, AND TEACHES BY HIS WORKS THE LAW OF GOD.
54. 29Depart, therefore, from all unrighteousness, and cleave unto the righteousness of the law of the Lord: and bury me near my fathers.
55. 30And when he had said these things he kissed them, and slept the long sleep. And his sons buried him, and after that they carried up his bones to the side of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.
56. Nevertheless, as Dan had prophesied unto them that they should forget the law of their God, and should be alienated from the land of their inheritance, and from the race of Israel, and from their kindred, so also it came to pass. Amen!
57. Who is in doubt as to whether God is a human being or not? Is there anybody who knows the existence of God more than these Patriarchs? I mean, they had physical experience.
58. Let Me tell you. We are a chosen people. A chosen generation. A generation God decided to appear to take for Himself a people. Is it not true? To take for Himself a people. And you and I happen to be in the number.
59. Nobody should sleep because this is the crux of the whole matter. This is the bone of contention.
60. This is not what you are reading in the Bible alone. It is true that I can balance all of them from the Scriptures. But this one is first hand information from the horses’ mouths.
61. We have more work to do [My wife and I], now that we are in in our old age than before. God knows why He allowed us to retire while we still have the strength to counsel our children, especially the young men who came at our later time.
62. This is because, by the time they came, we had forgotten everything about having male children. By Faith, we were following God, and we gave birth to three male children, not knowing that they came in fulfilment of God’s prophecy that we may have sons we will counsel; not that they will take our positions. They will not be our successors, but they will be wherever we are.
63. What can we say about our daughters and their husbands and their own children?
64. Let Me tell you; this Family is a Blessed Family whether we like it or not. We better acknowledge it.
65. That is why, nobody’s mother’s name was mentioned in all these addresses. In all, nobody will be asked to go and listen to the mother, for some of their mothers were wicked mothers who caused the deaths of their husbands.
66. As this matter is going on, if you close your eyes, I will declare you My enemy, because if you are a good mother, you will help in building the faith of your children, and not in wearing them down.
67. If there be any that wants to misbehave while you are alive, you will tell that person to remember the words of his father;
68. “Remember what your father told you.” And that thing which their father told them, you [as their mother] also know it.”
69. When a woman knows what her husband stands or stood for [his last words] and who her husband is, she will be the one that will stand solidly behind her husband. That is what will make her children to be more deeply rooted in the legacies of their father.
70. She can never take sides with any of them in error again, because her eyes of understanding have been illuminated more than ever before. And she will be speaking to her children from her wealth of experience.
