THE BURIAL OF A SAINT COMMENDATION SERVICE

LATE TEACHER JAMES CHIEMEKA NNADI ON WEDNESDAY 18TH NOVEMBER 2020 AT UMUHU-OKABIA ORSU L. G. A., IMO STATE, NIGERIA. BY  APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

What am I saying? Up to this very day, I have not received any direct command from the Father of all spirits to halt death. For that reason, death still holds sway over all flesh. You are nothing but mere maggot. One day, what makes you a mere human being will stop. These stammering lips will stop talking.

INTRODUCTION

BY THE SON OF MAN

PRAYER

Let’s bow down our heads.

Our Dear Heavenly father, here we are before You this afternoon. This is the day You have made. And we are here rejoicing in hope of resurrection. That as Christ resurrected from the dead, one day, we will see our Brother James Nnadi again.

As many of us who will not lie silent in the grave before then, our mortal bodies must be translated. We shall put on immortality according to Thy promise which can never fail, for in You, Your promises are yea and amen.

Father Divine, we know that on that day, the dead in Christ will rise up. We that are alive and remain, Father shall be translated in a twinkling of an eye. Together we shall be cut off from this planet Earth and meet with Christ in the air where we shall dwell with Him eternally.

Father, this is the hope we have. And we believe that this our Faith can never fail us, for You have demonstrated it before our eyes by coming down in person. Hence, our brother gave us the last teaching; the last sign. The last sign.

Father, we bow down to Your reverence and respect. We worship and adore You because of who You are, for You are worthy of our worship, worthy of our exaltation O God, worthy to be our God now and even eternity.

We pray thee O God, if it shall please you that our mortal bodies shall be lowered in the grave any time, may we die in Christ so that we shall get that great gain as you promised us, for to die is Christ and in resurrection, the crown of glory awaits us.

May we never die the death of the unrighteous. Rather, may we die the death of the righteous. Father, may the heavenly Angels glorify Your Name when we come back to You.  

This day we pray, comfort the bereaved family. Comfort the entire community. Comfort Your saints, for his departure is very painful to us, but we cannot change Your eternal plan.

We only make a solemn request. With Your mighty and outstretched hands, uphold us faithfully the same way You upheld our Brother.

Till the day we will give up the last breath, may we never O God, disappoint Your expectations from us. May we never O God, go the way of those that went astray.

Keep us in the pathway of truth so that at the end, we shall meet with You face to face in Paradise.

As we are about to commence our brief commendation service to inter the body of our Brother, take control and have dominion over all flesh.

All contrary spirit, Father we pray You cage all. Put them under our footstool. Exalt Your Most Holy name here, now and even here after.

May this family O God, from today embrace you fully that they may get the reward which is eternal life.

If there be any that has been rebelling with the truth, You have Your own way of reaching individuals. Meet them individually.

Illuminate their eyes of understanding so that they will be beneficiaries of Your bountiful mercies.

To Your Name alone we give the glory and not unto us for hearing our prayers, for Christ’s sake. Amen.

Have you seen why Balaam said, “That I may die the death of the righteous.” And the Psalmist says, “Precious in the sight of God is the death of His Saints.” God does not weep or lament for He is the One that calls His saints home. He is the One that hides them in their graves so that when His wrath will be revealed upon the children of disobedience upon the earth for refusing to believe His Word, they will be completely insulated. If you are doubting the scriptures, you are not worthy to live and you are not worthy to die. You better live and prove all things for the day shall declare all things.

IF A MAN DIES, SHALL HE LIVE AGAIN? Preached on Thursday, 25th February, 2016; Pg. 57 vs. 11 – 13

ONE WHO BELIEVES IN GOD IS NOT DEAD BY THE SON OF MAN

Let the living praise God. God is not worshipped in the grave. Our Brother has stopped worshiping God. He is only waiting for his reward. It is only the living that will worship God. Clap your hands unto the Lord. I want your clap offering to awaken this community. It seems the people of this community are sleeping. Clap your hands to the Lord! 

Be seated everybody. We are about to takeoff. We are no longer waiting for Enugu state. Please, security, ensure that the road is passable and that vehicles will be well parked too. 

Halleluiah! At this juncture, I want everybody to give me rapt attention. An Igbo adage says; “A native doctor who was duly invited to a community but mistakenly kills a fowl does not pay for the fowl. But if an uninvited one mistakenly kills a fowl he will be held by the community.”

Our coming here today was not a surprise. All the owners of this family, the in-laws, brothers and sisters, and even the relations, are all aware that such a thing will take place today.

 It was not the day our Brother James slept in death that he was buried, for he is not a fowl. It is time for us who have visited you to introduce ourselves to you people so that some people will not misunderstand what is happening. We are a Church which God Himself gathered. We did not originate from any group.

We have been with our Brother James Nnadi, worshiping God in spirit and in truth till the day he slept in the Lord. To us, his death was a shock to us for it was sudden.

Like Myself here, I reside in Onitsha, Anambra state while he was residing in Aba, Abia state.

He called Me on a particular day to inform Me about his illness. And I instructed him to go to hospital so that the Doctor will examine him to find out what was wrong with him.

I told him to send whatever the medical laboratory result may be to Me via my mailbox so that I will know what was wrong with him. He agreed. I did not hear any other thing from him. And as the discussion ended, we went to bed.

During the early hours of the morning, at exactly 2:57am, My phone rang and it was his son, Chibummadu. He said, “Daddy, I called to inform you that my father has given up the ghost.”

I asked, “How! Is it as a result of what he complained about his throat which made Me to tell him to go to the hospital?” The son said, “No”.

I enquired to know the hospital he went to, but the son told Me that he was yet to go to any hospital, for he planned going to hospital by daybreak. I asked to know if he [Teacher James] ate before going to bed, and the son said, yes.

The son equally informed Me that there was a Message the father wrote which he was going through until it was time for their night worship. He [Bro James] was the one that gathered his family and they had their night prayer, after which they went to bed.

In the morning, he could not wake up from sleep. And it became a surprise to all of us.

I did not know how to open my mouth and start calling the brethren to tell them that Bro James had passed on. We now sent message to Aba brethren to immediately rush to his house to confirm that the news is true.

They rushed to the place and called back and said, “Daddy, he is just lying lifeless on the bed.” I asked them whether they touched his chest and he was not breathing. They said, yes.

I then instructed thus, “If you know that thing which he wrote last about the Faith of Christ before he slept, I want to have it so as to know the content.”

Well, it was because of what he wrote and his cadences which are known to Me since the first day I met him in the year 1994 till date that made a personality like Me to be here today.

From 1994 to 2020 is how many years? 26 years. If I have sojourned with someone for 26 years and I do not know him, even if I stay with him for one million years, will I know him?

I knew him in his youth. I knew him before he got married I know him before he had children. He has raised youths we can see today. Did he raise them in the night?

So, if I say that I am among those that are qualified to testify about this man, nobody will say otherwise. The reason is that there is something I know about him which his relations do not know about him.

This is because I do see him daily. I see him in the Fellowship. I discuss with him over the phone always. But his relations only see him each time he visits them. They know that he is one that has the fear of God. They know that very well. 

I am not here to preach. I came to tell Brother James Nnadi what he told me. He said that I gave him and others a Message. Then he decided to reply the good news. After giving Me the good news, he slept in the LORD.

I have come here to give him his own Message so that he should wait, for we are coming. Is it only Me that he will say fare well to? I will bid him fare well too.

When I brought out this message, you know there is a kind of heart I have. I am shedding tears within My heart.

I remembered those that were here there. And I remembered that whosoever God calls and the person answers and makes full proof of his ministry, his death does not come as a surprise to him.

God tells him to prepare. God also tells him when it will happen. God told saint Peter, saint Paul and all the Prophets. The day I will leave this world can never be a surprise.

Saint Paul said that God has revealed to him the way he will die. And that in no distant time, he will leave the flesh.

6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. [2 Timothy 4:6 NIV]

Nobody will say that Brother James did not see his death ahead, spoke about it as a prophecy, encouraged the living and even Myself and fellow Ministers that we should march on.

Brethren, that is why I say that even if I do not achieve any other thing today, let Brother James stand before Me and other things behind.

We are known as BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLDWIDE. This is a movement. We are not church like the denomination. We are a movement. We are in a journey.

We do not have any register for the names of our members. We do not know who is a member and who is not a member except the person we see in our midst, and who believes in God, practices the Word of God, living the life of the Word and joins in what we are doing, the person has become our member.

We do not consider the religious group you are coming from. We do not consider your hometown. Whether you worship idol or the wind, we do not want to know. But one thing that is clear to us is that every human being believes that God exist.

Whether we believe it or not. The same way we know that life and death exist, we equally know and believe that God exists.

I am not here to preach, but there is no way I will be here without preaching the good news. If I do not preach the good news, will I then preach a bad one?

If I were the one that died, nobody will close the mouth of Bro. James. If he does not partake in the testimony, it will amount to visible demonstration. Amen.

To the owners of this family, you do not know who we are. You only know your brother who slept in death.  We that are gathered here are his Brethren.

Whatever you see us doing here, we are doing it according to our Faith. We believe that love does not discriminate.

We equally believe that there is no law against love, for anybody who loves a fellow human being with the love of God has fulfilled all God’s laws. It is this love and nothing else that brought us here. We came from different places.

When I was told about the state of the house of our Brother James, I said to God be the glory. He is not dead. He has a wife and children. So, Bro. James is still alive. Till eternity, Bro. James is alive!

One who believes in God is not dead. He is asleep. On that day when the saints of God shall resurrect, he will equally resurrect. The grave can never hold him captive.

This is our hope; that we will meet him again. Our meeting point remains the place where he left us.

All that shall remain steadfast till the end on that ground where he left us, whenever our mortal body shall be translated to immortality, Brother James will be translated to immortality.

We are all going to meet at the same place, and you know what it is. THE WORD OF GOD.

If you wake him up from sleep, he remains a Teacher. He is not a worldly Teacher, but a Teacher of the Word. He tried his possible best to help the world know who God is and the way to worship God in order to get blessings from God.

He proved it to be true, proclaimed it with his own mouth, also taught and wrote it down. All that paid heed to his Messages will testify that there is nobody who will pay heed to the Messages God gave to Teacher James whose life never changed for the better.

There was nobody whose life never changed after being touched by the Messages of Teacher James, if not a hypocrite who is fooling himself. Even the eyes of understanding of a spiritually blind person will be opened.

That is why I am saying that whosoever that was taught by our Brother James, and the fellow claims that he does not know what God is saying, leave that person for it is either the fellow never proceeded from God or that he is not sincere to himself. He has not accepted to worship God. Once he decides to worship God, he will know that what he was taught is the truth.

What gives me joy about him ever since I got acquainted with him is that He does not consider a friend or an enemy in his dealings with fellow human beings.

The same measure he measures to the might is the same measure he measures to the lowly. You can agree with him in everything, but once it comes to the Word of God, there must be strife.

He is a trustworthy Teacher. I give God the praise because I testified about his life while he was alive and even in death. I am not showering encomiums on him because he is dead.

The person for whom we have gathered here today is worthy of stopping all our activities for today.

That was why when we started reasoning together concerning this matter, we rallied ourselves, deliberated on what has happened and the activities of the Bridal Faith that have been lined up.

I then instructed that we reach out to his brother, pastor Silas so that we can reason together. At the end of our discussion, I told him about the plans of the Bride.

I equally told him that a Pastor is a Pastor and that he cannot be a Pastor and the congregation at the same time, for the people that will take the final decision remains the Body of Christ.

I told him of all the activities we have lined up, and that if not for those activities, we would have used one week to mobilize ourselves and the necessary resources for the burial of this our late Brother.

I told him that we were not prepared to carry over the burial of his corpse into next year. I equally made him to understand that if we fail to bury him today, he will then be buried next year. This is because starting from tomorrow, many programs are lined up.

I pleaded with him to agree with us for we will give him all the necessary support for this burial. We continued our negotiations with him and all the members of their family agreed to support our plans.

We then challenged ourselves and sent some emissaries to come to his country home to see things for themselves, for we cannot keep his corpse outside. The people we sent gave us a report of their findings and we then mandated them to stay back and co-opt some members of the family in the preparations.

We vowed that since he has built his own house, he must be buried. The family gave us their support. We kept working day and night and through the grace of God, we are at the burial proper.

We give God the praise for the support this family has given to us, although we have not stayed with you before. Moreso when we told you about our plans and what we intend to do.

We thank God for your understanding.  We are also thanking the security whom we invited. They responded to show that they are equally involved in the burial and are also here with us. We have been with them from yesterday till today. They will not be tired until we are through with the burial.

Without wasting time, we are calling on Pastor Silas. Brethren, I called him because he has the capacity, for an Igbo adage says that man salutes with the sword he has.

So, Pastor Silas, this is no longer a telephone conversation between you and I. Another Igbo adage says that when a short man achieves a feat publicly, he stands up to be recognized.

The family belongs to somebody. If you say, “Welcome” to us, we will sit down. But if you say that we can go, since we  have brought him home, we will go.

But I know you will not say it. Even if you say so, I will reject it. We all are from Imo State. Even if you tell Me to go now, and I agree, Brethren will you agree to go? [The Brethren shouted, No!]

Is the burial the end of the journey, seeing that we already have seeds in this family? Bro. James has left us a big work. Look at his wife. Look at his children. Look at uncompleted building. Have you seen the challenges you have? Have you seen what you have in case of tomorrow? Thank you!

Pastor Silas [of Nnadi family]: God bless you. Praise the Lord. Amen. It is not proper that the owner of a farm should stop one who is cultivating on his behalf and who has already gone far in the work. So, you have started already and there is no room for saying that you should not continue. Sir, continue with your service. Amen.

Thank you sir. Brethren, you understand what he said. The head of the family has consulted with the members of the family and have told us that they are happy with what we have done so far.

And that from their own observations, we are a peaceful people and not rascals for we have been with them for almost one week now. There are things that can be hidden and there are also other things that cannot be hidden. So, he has given us the go ahead and we will continue.

Rise up from your seats. The Ministers that will officiate and the person that will lead us in praises should be brief. Once we inter this corpse, we will dance. If you want to dance, you dance because the musician is waiting for the people that will dance to their music.

Today is a great day because a Saint is being buried. There is joy in heaven and on earth.

Sincerely speaking, if I am asked to say, I will say that since I grew up to know what worshipping God is all about, I do not know the number of persons that I will say that they slept [in death]in Christ.

I will read it out from the Bible. I believe that one can sleep [in death] in Christ. Truly speaking, from all that I have seen, I am not sure that they are up to two.

You know where it is said that Elijah went to heaven; and when it was also said that Enoch went to heaven. They did not taste of death.

When Jesus Christ came, He said that all that went before him were all liars.

All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. [John 10:8 KJV]

He told them that there was nobody there and that he was the only person there. He equally told them that he did not see anybody when He was coming. He told them clearly that there is nobody in heaven apart from He that came down from heaven.

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. [John 3:13 KJV]

Brethren, it is like these people went somewhere or they have not reached where heaven is located.

He said, “All that came before me are liars and robbers. I am the only one that came down from heaven. There is not even one that I found there.”

It then means that there is a disconnection somewhere. An Igbo adage says that if an enquiry is to be made about the ground, the rabbit is consulted.

Where are all those people then? We should be very careful when we are talking. Let it be known to you that Jesus was not the first person that resurrected from the dead. Resurrection had been in existence before his mother was married.

Even in the time of the Prophets, a lot of people resurrected from the dead. A Prophet who is from God who does not have the power to raise the dead, find out from him to know if he actually met God. Amen. We are about to take off. Pastor Dan, I think it is your turn to sing. Pastor Dan! It is your turn.

Watch me, I am that message myself. I said I am the Bible you should be reading for your salvation. That is all. If I do not meet your standard, you do you meet my standard. If I am anything short of your standard, you are many many things short of my standard for I am the standard to all men in this generation.

CHRIST’S NATURE IS OUR TICKET TO PARADISE BY THE SON OF MAN

A

men. We thank Pastor Dan for the way he conducted the praises. My desire is that you sit down. But where you want to stand up, you are not under obligation, for where the spirit of Christ rules, you are at liberty. You are not at liberty to do evil but you are at liberty to do good.

Listen to Me. Blessed is that man who slept in the LORD and the Saints of God themselves buried him.

Do you not know that some were set ablaze along the road? Even the one that happened recently in Nigeria. Did you not see it? It affected many of us.

But it is not so with our Brother. Do you not know that there is joy in heaven that he is back home? Do you think I am afraid? I am not given to fear.

It is not yet My hour. It is still your hour. When I come on the scene, you will know I am on the scene. Amen.

SONG: [We are ready to obey Thy Word. We are ready to obey Thy Word. We are ready to obey The Living Word. We are ready to obey Thy Word.]

I am looking forward to seeing one of our Teachers who will stand here with his leg on the casket and fill the gap in the Five-Fold.

Let somebody give Me Ephesians chapter 4 verse 11, so that they will know that Brother James occupied a scriptural ministry, ordained of God a Teacher in the Five-Fold Ministry for the perfection of the Saints.

Without his Ministry, the Saints cannot be perfected. And God approved of him and also approved of his ministry. Why? He made full proof of his ministry, holding unto the profession of his faith without wavering, unshakeable, immovable, without compromise, till the last minute.

Do not worry. I reckoned him among the heroes of faith in Hebrew chapter 11 who obtained a good testimony; a good report that they pleased God not men. I am coming to that.

It is unfortunate I am not the preacher. I am not the preacher. Nevertheless, I must say something. I must say something. I want you to read Ephesians 4:11. I do not want to preach, but read that place.

Any scripture we quote, write it down. You have your brochure. Take biro and write it down so that when we leave, you crosscheck and know whether we came with a different Bible or the one you are holding;

This is so that if you are been deceived, you will know that you are the one deceiving yourself, for you have no reasonable excuse before God.

A HOUSE THAT IS FULL OF EXCUSES IS A HOUSE THAT IS FULL OF FAILURES. Any individual that likes excuses will obtain failure, for every excuse you want to give will be a part of your problem. So you are inexcusable, O man.

Ephesians 4:11 – 16, King James Version.11And he gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists; and some, Pastors and Teachers;… Thank you! For what reason?

12FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY… So without Bro James’ ministry, all of us are having problem, for God has already confirmed and authenticated him as a vindicated Teacher, holding the Word of truth without compromise. A selfless Teacher!

FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, FOR THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST:…which he edified.

13…till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, UNTO A PERFECT MAN…

Unto what? “A perfect man”. Not a perfect goat. Can a man be perfect? Yes! Can a man be righteous? Yes! Can a man be Holy? Yes!

If Bro. James Nnadi was not holy here on earth, the grave can never make him holy. IF YOU CUT DOWN A CROOKED TREE, IT WILL REMAIN CROOKED ON THE GROUND. THE GRAVE DOES NOT CHANGE THE NATURE OF ANY MAN.

If you were buried a sinner, you will not repent in the grave. In resurrection, you will rise up as a sinner and proceed to the Judgment Throne to receive your reward, for it is appointed unto men once to die and after that cometh judgment.

Hebrews 9:27 Write it down. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: KJV

After that judgment must follow, for iniquity must be judged. Why? God is of a purer eye than to behold iniquity. Amen.

Believe it if you can. nothing spotted; nothing defiled can cross the gate of Paradise.

13…till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ…

Note! “UNTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST.”WHICH MEANS, YOUR IDENTITY IS CHRIST. ONLY CHRIST’S NATURE IS YOUR TICKET TO PARADISE, NOT YOUR DENOMINATION. ONLY CHRIST’S NATURE.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE NATURE OF CHRIST, YOU CAN NEVER DWELL WITH CHRIST ETERNALLY. IF YOU FIND YOURSELF THERE, KNOW THAT THE DEVIL HAS BEEN THERE AND YOU KNOW IT NOT.

BUT THE DEVIL CANNOT BE THERE, FOR THE DEVIL CAN DO EVERYTHING, BUT HE CAN NEVER LIVE THE LIFE OF CHRIST, FOR HE DOES NOT HAVE CHRIST’S NATURE.

IF YOU SAY, “I BELIEVE”, THE DEVIL BELIEVED, BUT COULD NOT OBEY. BELIEVING WITHOUT OBEYING MAKES YOU A HARD UNBELIEVER, OBSTINATE HEATHEN, UNREPENTANT UNBELIEVER.

14″And verily We shall cause you to abide in the land, and succeed them. This for such as fear the Time when they shall stand before my tribunal, – such as fear the punishment denounced.

15But they sought victory and decision (there and then), and frustration was the lot of every powerful obstinate transgressor. [Surah 14:14 – 15 Abdullah Yusuf Ali Translation]

I do not want to preach. Brother or whoever is the Minister, we are now looking up to you because if you allow Me to go this way, it then means I will inter the body even without saying a Word again. Yes!!!

Bro. James testified of himself but the Almighty God gave the greatest testimony concerning Bro. James.

Whoever that is entrusted with the word for today, we are looking up to you.  Tell us where to read and encourage us. And be brief.

If I say I am not preaching, I must say something. I must say something. If you see something, say something! I have seen something in Brother James and I must never close My mouth.

SONG: [I shall not die but live and declare the mercies of God, Amen.]

[I will sing of the mercies of the Lord, forever I will sing of the mercies of the Lord. With My mouth and My heart shall I make known to this world; God’s faithfulness to all generation. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord. Forever I will sing of the mercies of the Lord.]

 EXHORTATION BY APOSTLE LUKE OJIAKOR

I want to show you how Saints die. They do not pass through the torments of death. Neither do they pass through the torments of the grave, for God is the One that calls them home, gently. They are not dead. They are asleep. Are you getting Me?

THE BURIAL OF A SIANT OF GOD; Preached on Wednesday 6th February 2019; Pg. 20 vs. 35

A WISE PERSON THINKS ABOUT DEATH

Ecclesiastes 7:1 – 4. Good News Bible. A good reputation is better than expensive perfume; and the day you die is better than the day you are born.

It is better to go to a home where there is mourning than to one where there is a party, because the living should always remind themselves that death is waiting for us all.

SORROW IS BETTER THAN LAUGHTER; IT MAY SADDEN YOUR FACE, BUT IT SHARPENS YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

Someone who is always thinking about happiness is a fool. A wise person thinks about death.

Amen. It is better to go to where there is mourning; where there is sorrow because somebody has given up the ghost as our brother is there, lying in the casket. We have all gathered here. Already, it is a journey to a better place as the Almighty God has affirmed and reaffirmed.

Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. KJV

PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD IS THE DEATH OF HIS SAINTS. And not what people do in the denominations.

As long as people live here on earth, they do not ever talk about being a Saint, but after one is dead, they canonize such a person, and then draw something around the head and then add “Saint” there.

That is not what my God is saying. Now, God Himself who is in our midst as a human being, for always, God must come to man as a human being having made man in His own image.

This is because God cannot be a figure and make man in His own image and man will appear as a human being and then God will assume the shape and form of another thing altogether. Is it possible?

Hence, saint Paul told them in Athens that, that God they never knew, he had come to tell them about him, that in Him we live, in Him we move, in Him we have our being.

22Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you……. 28for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. [Acts 17:22 – 23, 28 KJV]

This God has spoken concerning our Brother James that he is a saint.  That is why He told us, “Cut down a crooked tree. On the ground, it is still crooked.” The ground can never make it straight.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF ONE IS NOT A SAINT WHILE ALIVE; WHILE LIVING, WHEN HE IS DEAD, HE CANNOT BE A SAINT.

As long as I live, O God, I will serve you. It is only when one is alive that he can render services that are pleasing to God. And God Himself will declare such a fellow his child and a Saint.

That is why the death of a saint in the eyes of God is very very precious. Somebody was praying, “Oh! I want to die the death of the saint.”

Numbers 23:7 – 11 Living Bible.”King Balak, king of Moab, has brought me From the land of Aram, From the eastern mountains. ‘Come,’ he told me, ‘curse Jacob for me! Let your anger rise on Israel.’

But how can I curse What God has not cursed? How can I denounce A people God has not denounced? I see them from the cliff tops, I watch them from the hills. They live alone, And prefer to remain distinct From every other nation.

They are as numerous as dust! They are beyond numbering. IF ONLY I COULD DIE AS HAPPY AS AN ISRAELITE! OH THAT MY END MIGHT BE LIKE THEIRS!”

That was the man that was hired to come and curse the people of Israel. And now before the man, he saw the glory of God covering the people of Israel.

Now, take Israel as an entity. And the Almighty God has spoken concerning our Brother James.

The King James Version of the Bible said, “I wish”; “I want to die the death of the righteous.”

Numbers 23:10, King James Version. Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? LET ME DIE THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND LET MY LAST END BE LIKE HIS! KJV

God has told us that we should strive to make sure that our end is far better than our beginning. And this man was preaching that he would die the death of the righteous.

God giving somebody his flower while he is alive. So, it is important. And our gathering is just to join together in agreement to carry the body of our brother and place it in the grave.

What is the wisdom? That the living must die one day, and after that death cometh judgment, whether you like it or not. You can change whatever you want to change, you can never change the ruling of the Word of God. Forever, the Word of God will still remain. You can never tamper with it.

TRUTH HAS NO SUSTITUTE BY THE SON OF MAN

He has summarized it all. Stay where you are as we close the casket. Close the casket. Unless there is any other person from the family, friends and well-wishers as may be allowed by the family to see him for the last time.

Where there is no such person or group of persons, you can close it. Please do not close. Some people are coming. We are still expecting some people here. Respect them. The people from Isuochi, people from Orsu LGA, people from his maternal home and members of his kindred should come forward.

Whoever that has not seen the body but wishes to do so can come now. As we continue with the Scriptures, the next thing we will do is to lower him down. Low in the valley, he lay. Amen.

We are not here for another service. We are here just to inter the body. Enugu Brethren, we have been waiting for you. Have you seen the corpse? If you do not want to see, you can sit down. But if you want to see, the casket is open. Be very fast. We are waiting for you.

SONG: [When I get home; When I get home, all troubles will be over, when I get home.

Temptations will be over when I get home; All sickness will be over when I get home; All hardship will be over when I get home; All troubles will be over when I get home.

When I get home; when I get home, my sorrows will be over, when I get home]

Are you through? Deacons, are you through? Any other person there? By right, pastor Silas [his brother] should be around while you close that casket. And then you bring the casket out.

The reason why we are here will be coming out. And when it comes out, it can never go in again. While he is coming out, join me and magnify the Lord.

[A reviving session of praises]

Be seated. You allow Me to stay here with this casket. Do not touch the casket anymore. It now belongs to Me. It is no longer in the house; and will not go there again.

Song: [I’m a pilgrim and a stranger Wand’ring through this world of sin; On my way to that fair city, When the Saints go marching in.

When the Saints, go marching in; When the saints go marching in, Lord I want to be in that number, when the Saints go marching in.]

Do you know why I am admiring the casket? This is the only item I know that is always more beautified than the furniture you use in your house, but no one takes delight in using one as his clothing box.

No matter how beautiful a casket is who will like to use it to store his clothes. Who has ever used it to decorate his house?

Have you seen anybody who was given a casket as a birthday gift? Has it ever been given to anybody as a wedding gift? Is there any celebration where it is given as gift?

I have seen only one person to whom it was given. The person deserves to be given the casket. He is one that makes merchandise of the Word of God. He is using the Word of God as business venture. He turned the Word of God upside down in other to earn money thereof.

He then made a call for people to come forth and worship God with the products of their handiwork.

He said that there shall be great gifts to show everyman’s handiwork, for the year has come to an end. And he said that it is for thanksgiving to God. Bazaar sales and everything.

Whether it be yam, cocoyam or goat. No matter what your handiwork is. If you are a motorcyclist [okada], offer your motorcycle. If you are tricycle [Keke] operator, offer it. They are all worth money.

 On that faithful day, one young man whose handiwork is the making caskets, after a thorough check, saw that he does not have any other handiwork. He used the whole of one week to manufacture a very beautiful casket.

When the church auditorium was filled to capacity, motivational songs rended the air. People were giving their gifts. After a while, two of his apprentices lifted the casket and were telling people to give way as they were marching to the altar with the casket.

On seeing the casket, everybody in the church ran helter-skelter. The pastor himself jumped through the window.

After the scampering, he told everybody to return to the church. The casket was placed there. He then queried the casket maker, “Why did you behave this way?”

The young man retorted; “But you said that we should come according to our handiwork. I make caskets. And I put in one whole week to make this casket. This is the best I have ever produced. Do you know how much I sell it? I have given it to God. Keep it with you. If you will not sell it, any day a church member dies, it will be used for the person’s burial.”

The Pastor told him, “You are mad. Go and sell it and bring the money!”

The casket maker replied, “Money! If you had told me, I would have sold it and brought the money to you. But now, it is late. Manage it. Call the workers to carry the casket and keep it wherever fowls and goats are kept. They are all gifts.”

Who will accept this type of gift?  “God bless you” is not applicable to casket.

That is the only trade I know which is not done with happiness. Both the buyer and the seller are angry. That casket seller does not care about the economic situation.

HEAR ME VERY WELL. EVERY PIECE OF IRON MUST PASS THROUGH THE BLACKSMITH.

THE DAY GOD CREATED LIFE WAS THE SAME DAY HE CREATED DEATH. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTS THE NUMBER OF DEATHS IN THAT FAMILY; AND ALSO IS THE NUMBER OF GRAVES IN YOUR FAMILY.

What am I saying? It is not the number of years one lives here on earth that counts, but while sojourning on earth, what type of life did the person live? What will he be remembered for when he is no more?

WHEN A MAN IS NO MORE, WILL HE NOT BE REMEMBERED BASED ON HIS LEGACIES? ALL HIS WORK HAS ENDED TODAY. AS PER WORK, IT DOES CONCERN HIM ANY MORE. WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TODAY IS HIS REWARD.

We sing it as a song thus, “Do not reward me according to the magnitude of my sin, O Lord. Rather, reward me according to Thy Grace.” Yes! We sing it and it is sweet.

THERE WAS NEVER A TIME WHEN THE GRACE OF GOD SAID THAT YOU WILL NOT REAP WHAT YOU SOWED. HAVE IT AT THE BACK OF YOUR MIND.

That is why I tell you about the IRREVOCABLE LAWS OF NATURE. The laws which God gave and which does not recognize whether you go to church or you are a traditionalist or anywhere you like to worship.

These IRREVOCABLE LAWS OF NATURE are; [1] THE LAW OF RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE: Whatever a man sows, that he must reap. Nobody will reap that which another man sowed. If you do good, you will get the reward. If you do evil, you will get the reward.

[2] THE LAW OF GRAVITY: Whatever that goes up must surely come down.

[3] THE LAW OF DIAMETRICAL OPPOSITION: Once there is light, there must be darkness. Once you see a man, there must be a woman. If you see God, you must see the devil.

The Law of diametrical Opposition cannot be revoked. The Law of sowing and reaping [retributive justice] cannot be revoked.

Whatever you think may change, may change but these Laws standeth sure and irrevocable. And whatever that is irrevocable is from the Deity, the Almighty, for whatever He does is permanent. It is eternal. Nothing can be added; and nothing can be subtracted.

If God is not behind death, by now, human beings could have altered death or changed it. This is because, in spite of scientific discoveries and inventions, nobody has ever invented or discovered how to change death.

If you change death, what will you replace it with? DEATH HAS NO SUBSTITUTE. THE SAME WAY, LIFE HAS NO SUBSTITUTE. For that reason, I believe that death is a reality, and life is a reality. And they are all according to truth, for only facts are convincing.

If you say death does not exist, see one. Is there a living human being who you can keep in a casket for 30 minutes? If he does not die, this table must be pushed down, all in the attempt to come out alive. Amen.

ANYTHING THAT IS ACCORDING TO TRUTH HAS NO SUBSTITUTE. FOR THAT REASON, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS NOT HOW LONG WE LIVED HERE ON EARTH, BUT HOW WE LIVED THAT LIFE AND THE TYPE OF IMPACT WE MADE TO THE PEOPLE AROUND US; WHETHER WE MADE POSITIVE IMPACT OR NEGATIVE IMPACT.

To Brother James, there is no need talking to you concerning him. He wrote concerning himself. He was a living testimony before all of you.

And that is why you could defy everything to be here today to represent your various local assemblies from different communities and states.

It is noble because one day, it can be your turn, it can be my turn. The day one gives a befitting funeral to the dead is the day he also gave himself a befitting burial. Amen.

So, we are here to honour him for the last time, and then to take responsibility he left behind, for a vacuum has been created in our ministry. A vacuum that is not easy to fill.

I can ordain an Evangelist, a hundred at a time, but to get a Teacher is not easy. Of course, you know that the Teaching Ministry is the Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.

A MAN WHO COULD TEACH AND MANIFEST HIS TEACHING BY HIS LIFE WITHOUT A SINGLE FAULT. One who will say to the whole world, “Follow me as I follow Christ. Imitate me. Act according to My teaching or watch the way I do it. Do it that way.” A living example.

He has created a vacuum. But I give God the glory that he is departing for good and not for evil. He remained working for Christ till the last minute. Whatever occupied his mind as at the time he left the scene determined his destiny, for it is not our beginning that determines our destiny but our terminal point. True or false?

IT IS NOT THE BEGINNING OF OUR LIFE THAT WILL DETERMINES OUR DESTINY, BUT THE END OF OUR LIFE. WHEN OUT LIFE HERE ON EARTH SHALL COME TO AN END, HOW WILL IT END?

WILL THE END OF OUR LIFE COME WHEN WE HAVE FALLEN AWAY FROM THE FAITH OR WHEN WE ARE IN THE FAITH OF CHRIST?

We are here today, rejoicing because what happened to him is our prayer, for we know what it is.

I want to read few Scriptures and then inter this body, find my way home and prepare for my own death.

Psalms 82:6 – 7.6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. KJV

The Scriptures made it clear that there is no righteous man that dieth not; There is no righteous man that will not die. There is no sinner that will not die. There is no one that died because he is a sinner or because he is a saint.

The person died because death is real both to the righteous and the unrighteous. Since it is like this, what then is the reason for our pride in this world since we know that, come what may, death awaits all?

You may know everything about your life, but you do not know the way you will die and how you will die.

The Elects of God that sinned in former times, He did not punish. He reserved them pending the revelation of Christ. They are all waiting at the gate where we are all waiting. Nobody has ever entered Paradise from Adam till today. All of us are entering the same day. He that will open it is here. Nobody has ever entered until now. That is why the Bible said, “Although they fought gallantly for the Faith of Christ, without us they are not made perfect.” For they were looking for salvation through their own works, but God will justify everybody according to the Faith that is in Me, which is the Faith of Christ. No more, no less.

HEROES OF FAITH by the son of man

Pay attention to Me because I am crossing over.  I want us to go to the book of Hebrews where I have engraved the name of Brother James as the least and not the last. I do not pray that his name should be the last in that list.

Hebrews 11:6 – 15. King James Bible Version.6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

8By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

11Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed,… was Sarah a woman? Faith was recorded around that woman.

11Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

12Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

14For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

16But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.21By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

22By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.

24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.

27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

31By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

32And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

33Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

35Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

36And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

37They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38 Of whom the world was not worthy: they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

39And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Amen.

Before all of you, the name of Brother James Nnadi is there who fought gallantly, contended earnestly for the Faith of Christ, got it and became a powerful instrument in the hand of God; helped the people of God to believe in the Faith of Christ which was the Faith of all these people whose names were documented.

And where they stopped was recorded by the Almighty God who is very swift in taking records. It was credited to them like it was credited to Abraham who was declared fit for heaven for he maintained a good report before God.

If you read it in another translation, the Bible said; these people have these records as their testimonies before the Lord God that they pleased God. It was recorded for them by the Almighty and they were declared fit for heaven.

God reserved them wherever the patriarchs are reserved waiting for that glorious day when the dead in Christ shall come forth from their graves incorruptible.

Bro James maintained a good report before he gave up the ghost. Who can change his destiny again? Your unbelief can never change it. If you like, believe. If you do not like, do not believe. But if you know He that is standing before you, you will know that I am not shaking one bit.

Of all the messages so far, within this period under review, we received the teaching he gave us, THE VOICE OF THE LAST SIGN which he handled on the 28th day of July, 2020. This is the booklet. You all have it.

If you do not have it, your own may be in our vehicle for I came with your sermon books and I printed nothing but the works of Brother James for a memorial.

The one I am holding here is second to the last. That is, THE UNVEILING OF THE GREAT MASQUERADE where he espoused all of you to the Faith of THE SON OF MAN.

Remember this Faith, Faith, Faith was the Faith the Lord Jesus Christ was asked about, “When the Son of Man shall come, shall he find FAITH?”

Not f.a.i.t.h. lying on the main road, but shall He find men and women of F.A.I.T.H. who have unflinching Faith in Christ? Unshakable Faith and abiding Faith, for that is all it takes to please God.

You must have the Faith to believe that He is and He exists and is a Rewarder of those that worship Him. If you do not have that Faith, you can never even believe His messengers.

Unfortunately, when THE SON OF MAN was revealed, He never met the Faith, for there was a total falling away from the original Faith. He started to initiate the work of restoration. “I will restore”, saith the Lord God Almighty.

The last was the one he (Bro. James) wrote to me and my family. I want to show it to you. I have it.

THE FIRST EPISTLE TO MY LORD AND GOD; APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [Blessed be His Most Holy name] THE VERY SON OF MAN) AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY, compiled on 3rd November, 2020, by TEACHER JAMES NNADI.

And he died on 4th November, 2020 just few hours after this message. Permit me to just read few things. Let me give it to somebody who can rush from paragraph 68. Pay attention. The concluding side of that love epistle.

I appreciate you my dear Father and Lord THE VERY SON OF MAN. I appreciate your beloved and precious wife, Sister, Mummy, “Nwanyi Nwe Ulo”, a privileged Mother that takes care of THE SON OF MAN, Nzubechi Odoemena.

I appreciate all your children both married ones and unmarried ones. I appreciate the male ones that are now ordained into the divine offices of the five fold. The Timothy of our day: Pastor Wisdom Odoemena, Apostle Chukwudi Odoemena, Evangelist Chibuikem Odoemena.

What a glorious and Godly happy Family of the Almighty. I also appreciate Bishop Chidubem Jonathan of Bonny, Port Harcourt Household. A privileged Bishop. The first son in-law of THE SON OF MAN who married Sister and mummy Ijeoma.

I appreciate also Pastor Rotimi of Lagos Household, a privileged Pastor and Son in-law to THE SON OF MAN who married the Son of Man’s second daughter, Sister and mummy Onyedika.

Lastly, but not the least, I wish to appreciate the young Pastor Chibuzor Ikwuagwu, Nsukka Household. The third son in-law to THE SON OF MAN who married the third daughter of the Son of Man Sister and mummy Oluebube.

I equally appreciate all the ministers of the Gospel of Christ who walk according to divine rules laid down by the Almighty God in our midst.

Greetings to all the families of the Bride of Christ worldwide who endeavour daily to pattern after the order of the family of THE SON OF MAN the Abraham of our day.

It is already well with THE SON OF MAN, and it will continue to be well with Him and His Family till eternity, while all his enemies are fallen to rise no more.

Blessings to all that bless Abraham’s family, and curses to all that curse Abraham’s family.

To the entire Bride, we are blessed together with our father Abraham. May the Grace of God be multiplied daily in the midst of the redeemed of the LORD forever. Amen.

Remain secured and clothed with your mortal bodies in Him Amen!

The last words of Teacher James Nnadi, and he closed his eyes in death. This was documented on the 3rd of November 2020.

He was the one that proofread what he wrote, gave it to the son to forward to Me, went to bed and said, “Bye.” He had already said bye before he went to bed. Does it require sorrowing? I will like to go this way.

The Psalmist said, “I desire to go the way of righteous people. When I will leave the scene, let me leave the scene as a saint and not as a sinner. And you want to tell Me that I do not know his eternal destiny?

Until you develop your conscience above deceit, you cannot escape from the evil of today, for the evil of today is wrapped up in religion. The perpetrators of the evils of today are notably found among “men of God”, “women of God” their families and associates. If you like believe it. If you do not like, do not believe it. Yes! I owe you nothing but the truth. After all, I am not chargeable to anybody.

THE BURIAL OF A SIANT OF GOD; Preached on Wednesday 6th February 2019 at Ezira; Pg. 15 vs. 14 – 15

WE ARE FOR THE TRUTH [1] BY THE SON OF MAN

Now, let Me say few words. Before you can understand me, I want to read a portion of the Scripture. Let Me use Amplified version of the Bible. But before then, give Me Good News Bible or Living Bible.

1 Thessalonians 2:4 – 5 Living Bible. So we have only but one person authorized by the Almighty God to be reading Scriptures? All of you are graduates. Do not offend me. If you offend Me, I know what I will do here.

Pay attention, for Bro James fulfilled this Scripture to the letter.

1 Thessalonians 2:4 – 8 Living Bible. 4FOR WE SPEAK AS MESSENGERS FROM GOD…NOT FROM MEN. No human being ordained him.

Like I am standing here, I am not a product of any theological institution in the whole world. And I never, for one day, desired to be what I am now. You are My witnesses. You can tell the story and publish it far and wide.

4For we speak as messengers from God, TRUSTED BY HIM TO TELL THE TRUTH; WE CHANGE HIS MESSAGE NOT ONE BIT TO SUIT THE TASTE OF THOSE WHO HEAR IT;…

Like we can see it everywhere today. People in the attempt to gather the whole world around themselves so that their offering bags will be enriched, will be fooling the ears of their hearers by telling them what they like, instead of the truth.

TRUTH IS VERY BIG AND VERY HEAVY. NOT EVERY SHOULDER CAN CARRY THE TRUTH.

When the Lord Jesus Christ handed down the truth, the multitude that followed, went away saying, “Who can stand to hear this unbearable message?” It was remaining only but twelve.

He turned to them and said, “Would you not go away with your fellow people?”Peter stood up and said, “Master, to whom do we go to, seeing that you alone have the Word of eternal life. And we are sure and certain.”

60MANY THEREFORE OF HIS DISCIPLES, WHEN THEY HAD HEARD THIS, SAID, THIS IS A HARD SAYING; WHO CAN HEAR IT? 61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? …….

65And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

67THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY? 68Then Simon Peter answered him, LORD, TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? THOU HAST THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. 69AND WE BELIEVE AND ARE SURE that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. [John 6:60 – 61, 65 – 69 KJV]

THAT IS WHY YOU DO NOT COME INTO OUR MIDST ANYHOW. WE DO NOT GO ABOUT MAKING CONVERTS.

We tell people wherever we go, “Please inquire about us. After hearing from us as you are seeing us today, do an in-depth investigation about us. Do not mortgage your eternal destiny for base gain. Investigate about us. Evaluate us, scrutinize us and know why we are different from all, for which cause we are hated by all who hate the Truth.”

But whosoever that loves the Truth must surely say welcome to us, for Christ is the truth, the way and the life. No man cometh to the Father with falsehood.

We are for the Truth. We can do nothing against the Truth but for the Truth. And the Truth of Christ reacheth unto the clouds according to Psalms 108.

For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. [Psalms 108:4 KJV]

Pay attention! We are Messengers from God, and not from any man or any theological institution. We do not represent the interest of any group. As you see us here, we are here as individuals, but when we want to discuss about our Faith, we come together.

We call ourselves BRETHREN IN LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH, for we do not worship God collectively. We worship God as individuals and I will show you Scriptures.

God is not worshipped in a mansion. No! God is worshipped everywhere. The Throne of God is in the heart of everybody. God is worshipped in the heart, in spirit and in truth, and not in cathedrals. Cathedrals are abracadabra, fair show of clothing, show of wealth or show of cheap popularity.

A mansion a man built; a business centre; people that have no means of livelihood. They do not have a visible and viable means of livelihood.

For that, they establish a place they will clap their hands. People will be doling out money ignorantly to them for their living. How can they tell you the truth? Whoever that pays the piper, dictates the tune.

But if you have your own occupation, and I have my own. I am not depending on you, and you are not depending on me. I will look into your eyes and tell you who you are. You also look at Me into My eyes and tell Me who I am.

But in those counterfeit places, a rich man can never commit sin. If you indict him of sin, he will go away. Then, the Pastor will die of starvation.

What happened during COVID-19 lockdown? They were crying wolf because their churches were closed. Their means of making money was closed.

They were petitioning. Some even went to court, challenging Government simply because their idea of preaching the gospel is to make a good living out of it.

We are not numbered among such sycophants, huskers and fraudsters whose gods are their belly.

We are honourable. We have our professions. I work with my hands and earn My living. I never collected any man’s item without paying for it. God is my witness.

My idea is to lay a good example before all of you, so that you will not be dependent on any man or your fellow brethren to earn a living.

We are messengers from God, standing in His presence, declaring the truth. We do not change the scriptures one bit.

4For we speak as messengers from God, trusted by him to tell the truth; we change his message not one bit to suit the taste of those who hear it;

FOR WE SERVE GOD ALONE, WHO EXAMINES OUR HEARTS’ DEEPEST THOUGHTS.

Oh No! He knows about all your transgressions and your thoughts, your ways and all that are going on in your hearts. God who examines what? “Who examines, even as I am standing here, our deepest thoughts.

5Never once did we try to win you with flattery, as you very well know, and God knows we were not just pretending to be your friends so that you would give us money! Amen!

We never flattered you in any form or shape. Job said; “I do not know how to flatter any man, for if I should do that, my God will take me away”.

21I will show partiality to no one, nor will I flatter any man; 22for if I were skilled in flattery, my Maker would soon take me away. [Job 32:21 – 22 NIV]

Why should I flatter you? I will look at you straight in the face and tell you what you are, for you are not what you say you are. You are one that says, “Follow my teaching but not my character.” I will not accept that.

St. Paul said; “Follow me as I follow Christ.” Of all the Apostles, who can stand and say, “Who can accuse me of sin? I have a pure conscience before God and before man.”

[15]For although you may have ten thousand others to teach you about Christ, remember that you have only me as your father. For I was the one who brought you to Christ when I preached the Gospel to you. [16]So I beg you to follow my example and do as I do. [1 Corinthians 4:15-16]

An Igbo adage says that calling my people to testify about me will produce truth. Also, calling my community will equally produce the truth. But to call for my wife’s attestation is already a lie.

Any day a woman testifies against her husband in a trial, she has sacked herself from the marriage. But the community knows their son or daughter enough to speak about him or her.

We do not flatter you or change the Gospel to suit your taste or tell you what you want to hear, for a time came in the life of the people of the Jews when the teaching priest were no longer there.

3Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. [2 Chronicles 15:3 KJV]

Then, they hired for themselves priests for a pay and were dictating to them what they will be teaching them. If any fails, he will be sacked.

[11]you leaders who take bribes; YOU PRIESTS AND PROPHETS WHO WON’T PREACH AND PROPHESY UNTIL YOU’RE PAID. (And yet you fawn upon the Lord and say, “All is well—the Lord is here among us. No harm can come to us.”) [Micah 3:11 LB]

If you watch the pastors today, if they do not own their own, they are serving another man. From time to time, they are transferred. Some go on retirement. Brethren, if someone retires from worshipping God, what will he do?

Let us say the truth so that the devil will be put to shame. The Bible made it clear, “Let he that walks about gossiping stop. Let he that goes about from house to house, stop. Find out a reasonable occupation for yourself to keep yourself busy. Do not be a busy body in another man’s affair.”

10For while we were yet with you, we gave you this rule and charge: If anyone will not work, neither let him eat. 11Indeed, we hear that some among you are disorderly [that they are passing their lives in idleness, neglectful of duty], being busy with other people’s affairs instead of their own and doing no work.

12Now we charge and exhort such persons [as ministers in Him exhorting those] in the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) that they work in quietness and earn their own food and other necessities. [2 Thessalonians 3:10 – 12 AMP]

What brought about tithe? Since you pay tithe, why not stone someone to death? Since you pay tithe, why do you believe in Jesus Christ?

4For CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW [the limit at which it ceases to be, for the Law leads up to Him Who is the fulfillment of its types, and in Him the purpose which it was designed to accomplish is fulfilled. That is, the purpose of the Law is fulfilled in Him] as the means of righteousness (right relationship to God) for everyone who trusts in and adheres to and relies on Him. [Romans 10:4 AMP]

Jesus Christ is the end of the law and the prophets, for the law came by Moses. Grace and Truth came by the Lord Jesus Christ.

14AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH. ……. 17For the law was given by Moses, BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME BY JESUS CHRIST. [John 1:14, 17 KJV]

You that are collecting tithe, if you pay tithe, will it be an abomination? Can you fulfill its demands? If you are given the laws’ demands, can you bear it? You cannot fulfill the laws’ demands. Do you think it is easy?

This is the reason why Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary and took away the handwriting of law that kept everybody captive.

The sting of death is sin; and THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW. [1 Corinthians 15:56 KJV]

HE ERASED IT AND INTRODUCED A BETTER COVENANT THAT GIVETH LIFE. NOT ORDINARY LIFE, BUT LIFE ETERNAL.

I do not evangelize. I do not even plead with any flesh, because I believe it with all My heart: As long as the Lord liveth and I live, every flesh must bow down before Me. If you do not bow down today, you will bow down tomorrow. But must you bow down? Yes! Try to fault this Faith, find fault with the Truth. Do whatever you want to do to help you find fault with the Faith, I bet you, you will end it confirming this Faith. Many have attempted it.

WE ARE FOR THE TRUTH [2] BY THE SON OF MAN

How I wish I am here to talk today. Let me come back to this Message. We are Messengers of God, trusted by God to tell the truth.

We can never pretend to be your friends, so that you will receive us or call us good people. You can call us good people when God is calling us bad.

WE DO NOT WANT MEN’S COMMENDATION. WE WANT CHRIST’S COMMENDATION. HE THAT SEEKETH MEN’S COMMENDATION IS A FOOL. HE IS UNWISE.

LET THE WHOLE WORLD BE AGAINST ME, BUT LET GOD BE ON MY SIDE. I AM MINDFUL OF MY RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST; ONCE IT IS CORDIAL; ONCE IT IS FRIENDLY, THAT OF MY FELLOW HUMAN BEING AUTOMATICALLY IS PROVED PURE AND CERTAIN.

We are not numbered among wicked people that run into the church, hide under the cloak of the church to perpetrate wickedness and dodge their responsibilities towards their families, towards their communities and towards their fellow human beings. We are not such people. We own our responsibilities.

Like I am here, I am a son of the soil; my people are looking up to Me, my parents are looking up to Me, including My in-laws, My siblings and everybody. And if I do not fulfill My obligations, My conscience will not set Me free.

How can I run into the church, and whatever I am asked to do, I will say that My faith does not permit it? Your faith does not permit it, but your faith permits fraud, robbery and all sorts of criminal activities.

Your faith approves those ones, but once it comes to righteousness and helping the needy, your faith does not approve it.

Well, church observes and keeps certain days as holy. Is it not so? Does it mean that those days are more important than other days? Is it not so?

The person who claims that church prohibits from business or work or eating of meat on certain days, does church also prohibit the person from committing evil on such days?

Go to all the places and houses that are known for evil, that day is known as a liberty day. May God help us.

We do not pretend to be your friends so that you will give us money. What is our wealth? We are contented with the little God has given to us.

He promised us daily bread, “Give us this day, our daily bread.”  And He has been fulfilling it.

David said, “I was young, but now I am old. I have never seen a child of God forsaken nor going about begging bread.”

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]

Brethren, has it happened? [The Brethren echoed, “No sir!”]

Instead of seeing one that died of starvation, you will see someone who ate until he died. Amen.

Pay attention! We do not pretend to be your friends so that you will welcome us or give us money freely. No!

Judge us from the time we came into this family for almost a week now whether we have been guilty of robbing you or collecting your item without paying for it.

Judge for yourselves, whether we are a burden or we have come to relieve your burden. By the time we leave this place, you are the judge. Amen.

A pastor was talking to Me when we were making this preparation. I got offended and asked, “Are you not a pastor over a church?” He said yes!

I then said, “Tell me the truth. What we have done so far and what we have outlined, do you practice it among your members in your church? If you say yes, mention the name of that church, and I will tell you the general superintendent.”

I know the greatest superintendent came from Orlu. He is no other person than Mouka. You all know him. When we say The Lord’s Chosen, is it hidden?  Many of you are members.

We are not here to preach anybody. Neither are we here to exalt ourselves. We are here to preach Christ. Whatever you see us manifesting, they must be scriptural. Otherwise, they will never receive God’s approval.

1 Thessalonians 2 from verse 6. Living Bible. 6As for praise, we have never asked for it from you or anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to some honor from you.

7BUT WE WERE AS GENTLE AMONG YOU AS A MOTHER FEEDING AND CARING FOR HER OWN CHILDREN…

Who is that mother who will be milking her own children? Who is that father who cannot provide for the needs of the family?

That is why the Bible enjoins us endeavour to work hard, get enough money to pay our rent and be in the position to help those that are in need among us.

And we are fulfilling all, not because we have people living round about us who we want to honour. No!

We want to live up to God’s expectations from us, for we are Christ’s representatives; Christ’s ambassadors. We know it is disastrous if we misrepresent Christ in this Age.

8We loved you dearly-so dearly that we gave you not only God’s message, but our own lives too.

9Don’t you remember, dear brothers, how hard we worked among you? Night and day we toiled and sweated to earn enough to live on so that our expenses would not be a burden to anyone there, as we preached God’s Good News among you…

We toiled and sweated to earn enough to live on, so that our expenses would not be a burden to anyone here. Why not put your hands together Brethren!

If you watch all these so-called counterfeit churches, they have become great burdens to their members. If you ask them why, they will tell you, “We are on full time.”

Can you be on full time more than the Lord Jesus Christ? Can you be on full time more than saint Paul who was a tent maker? Can you be on full time more than Peter who was a fisherman?

Jesus who was a carpenter? Can you be on full time more than saint Luke who was a Medical Doctor? Can you be more than Zenas who was a Barrister? CAN YOU BE MORE THAN APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA WHO IS A MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT?

Are you serving another God? We had better face the stark realities of the Faith of Christ.

If I want to make money by all means, I will never mention God. I know what to do. But far be it from Me if I should condescend to such a base level.

That is why I enjoined all of you to endeavour to elevate yourselves academically, professionally and all round because your academic certificate plus talent will place you on high, where you will no longer live a beggarly life.

Can you imagine a situation where a young man that is healthy, every morning he will dress in suit, carry missionary bag, then go to office, open the window. Anybody that is coming with vehicle, he will just say “praise the Lord”, for he is looking for somebody he will pray for and collect money. Interpret dream, collect money. Prophesy, collect money. Deliverance, collect money. No free service! Not even a Lawyer can do that. A healthy man!

You ask him, “Brother, what is your occupation? He will reply, “I am a man of God”.

They have even condescended to going to motor parks. After praying, they will give people envelope, “support the ministry”.

Which ministry am I supporting? Tell me! And ignorant people will think that if they do not give money, God will not be happy. Allow God to kill Me. Do not kill Me and attribute it to God.

We do not pretend to be your friend. No! You see why I do not go out. I love staying alone so that when you want to know Me, you come closer, for an Igbo adage says that it is one that is closest to another that perceives the odour of the person’s mouth. Amen.

Walk close to Me, and you will understand Me. Investigate Me and prove Me to know whether I am a counterfeit that will be disallowed and disapproved on trial. But it is too late, for I have gone global. Pay attention!

9Don’t you remember, dear brothers, how hard we worked among you? Night and day we toiled and sweated to earn enough to live on so that our expenses would not be a burden to anyone there, as we preached God’s Good News among you…

Brethren, are you not My witnesses? No lie is of the truth. I cannot preach the truth and contradict it and they will be echoing Amen. Impossible!

10You yourselves are our witnesses-as is God-that we have been pure and honest and faultless toward every one of you…

We have never exploited or extorted anything from anybody or with false pretense. Impossible!

11We talked to you as a father to his own children-don’t you remember?-pleading with you, encouraging you and even demanding12that your daily lives should not embarrass God… AMEN!!!…but bring joy to him who invited you into His Kingdom to share His glory. Halleluiah!

Look at Bro. James Nnadi who stood his ground in the gospel of Christ, lived a life worthy of his gospel and never caused his daily life to embarrass God for one day. 

If you are parents here and you have children that that will always cause such embarrassment to you by living contrary to the life style you instilled in them, will you be happy?

There are certain reports you will get concerning your children emanating from their bad behavior out there, and you will feel like fainting, for they are denting your reputation and the reputation of your family which they are representing.

That is why I told you that our children are the image makers of our home, for an Igbo adage says that the appearance of a child puts one in remembrance of the father. Amen.

When someone sees a child and enquires about the child’s father, there must be a reason. It is either as a result of a good behaviour or a bad one. Amen.

12And we will never stop thanking God for this: that when we preached to you, you didn’t think of the words we spoke as being just our own, but you accepted what we said as the very Word of God-which, of course, it was-and it changed your lives when you believed it. Amen!

The greatest preaching that makes the greatest impact in the lives of the hearers or listeners is not what you are saying, but your character. That is why I believe that the character of a human being is his name. You can answer innocent when you are guilty.  That your name is Paul, does it make you a saint? Your character is your name. Your reputation is your character. If you are man without integrity, a woman without reputation, a person with low morals, automatically, your character has given you a name.

WE ARE FOR THE TRUTH [3] BY THE SON OF MAN

2  Corinthians 4:1 Amplified version of the Bible. Do not stop till I tell you to stop because I want to inter this body in the next five minutes. My time is up. You know I hardly keep any corpse beyond 1pm.

And I have told you in my own way, if I fall down today and die, bury Me that evening. If you want to give me a consideration, let it not exceed two hours.

1THEREFORE, SINCE we do hold and engage in this ministry by the mercy of God [granting us favour…

It is not that we merited it or worked for it. This is amazing grace. This Ministry came to us courtesy of Christ, by His mercy because He wanted to. And not that we coveted it. No!

1THEREFORE, SINCE we do hold and engage in this ministry BY THE MERCY OF GOD [GRANTING US FAVOR BENEFITS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND ESPECIALLY SALVATION], WE DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED… we cannot get discouraged continuing with the faith.

…we do not get discouraged (spiritless and despondent with fear) or become faint with weariness and exhaustion…

It never happened in the life of Brother James. He never fainted. He never got disgusted or got wearied for one day. He never complained or murmured or grumbled.

He lived his humble life like any of us, condescending always to men of low estate, not minding high things according to the dictates of the Lord Jesus Christ.

2We have renounced…We have said bye-bye to…disgraceful ways (secret thoughts, feelings, desires and underhandedness, the methods and arts that men hide through shame)…Amen!

Methods and arts that the so-called men of God hide under the church through shame. These are the things they do which they do not want any ear to hear.

Should I start mentioning those things? If I should mention them, he that is seeking the person that will teach him about the earth, does he live in the sky?

Eyes see, but due to fear, you cannot speak out, lest the person you mentioned will come after you. But did God not see you? There is no way you can hide it away from God. Can you cover the sun with your hand?

We refuse to deal craftily (to practice trickery and cunning) or to adulterate or handle dishonestly the Word of God,…

This is our identity, so that when we leave this place, you will have a standpoint where you will begin to investigate us. But if you prove us otherwise, write us off.

But the problem is “Where do we see you, seeing that we do not have a Fellowship centre?” You do not gather anywhere. You are all on your own and in your homes according to the way God placed it.

Tell me if there be anywhere God commanded anything called church to go and build a cathedral. Tell me the ones the Apostles built. Who gave them the money, when they were running helter-skelter because of persecution.

The temple they entered was the temple of the Jews, which the Jews were using every Sabbath day. Crosscheck the Scriptures. Worshipping of God is always in a Man’s family.

Salvation goes to families. Tell Me the church Abraham established. What is the name? Tell Me the church Noah established. What is the name? What of the one Isaac or Jacob established? Tell Me the names of those churches. Tell Me anyone credited to saint Paul. Tell Me a cathedral or mansion that is credited to Peter.

Today, they are buying lands everywhere, instead of going to spread the Gospel of Christ to every nation freely, for The Lord Jesus said; “freely you received. Freely you give.” Who is giving freely today?

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. [Matthew 10:8 KJV]

They market and promote even gifts. I have gift. He will market it. They market and promote even flowers during birthday. They market handkerchief and market scent [perfumes]. They will market their fellow human being and commercialize every aspect of human life, all in the name of Jesus.

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. [2 Peter 2:2 – 3 NIV]

2Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.3In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. [2 Peter 2:2 – 3 NIV]

If Bro. James was named among such huskers, there would have been a big upstairs here, but he lived according to his means, for he was dealing in a trade, by selling empty cans of paint to industries that manufacture paint.

Anyone that painted his house, he will go there and buy the bucket. After washing, he will carry the buckets to Port Harcourt and sell to industrialists who will use them in the manufacture of paint.

Assuming he was numbered among such huskers, I bet you, he would have been a red cap chief because we know ourselves, for when a man makes it to the top, the way he got to the top means nothing. They will crown him chief.

Now, we come to something Brethren. Let us go back there.

2…we refuse to deal craftily (to practice trickery and cunning) ….

We avoid all forms of trickery. We avoid all forms of craftiness and all forms of exploitation. We live within our means, knowing that we came into this world empty-handed.

And when we leave like Bro. James, we will never take a pin out of this place. We will only go away with the faith of Christ which we have acquired here, and which nobody can take away from us.

2 Corinthians 4 from verse 2, Amplified. 2We have renounced disgraceful ways (secret thoughts, feelings, desires and underhandedness, the methods and arts that men hide through shame); we refuse to deal craftily (to practice trickery and cunning) or to adulterate or handle dishonestly the Word of God, but we state the truth openly (clearly and candidly). And so we commend ourselves in the sight and presence of God to every man’s conscience. Amen!

3But even if our Gospel (the glad tidings) also be hidden (obscured and covered up with a veil that hinders the knowledge of God), it is hidden [only] to those who are perishing and obscured [only] to those who are spiritually dying and veiled [only] to those who are lost.

4For the god of this world… The god of this evil age…has blinded the unbelievers’ minds… Sure!!! …[that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.

The god of this evil Age, hindering people from acknowledging the truth or seeing the truth.

Now, before we inter the body because it is almost time, get me Acts of the Apostles chapter 8 verse 1 through 3 from the King James Version.

No other Bible reader here? But all of you are Ministers? Do you want Me to believe that you are still with Me?

Brethren, will I be the goalkeeper and player at the same time? You know I am an expert goalkeeper. Every goalkeeper is a player. You will know him as a player when it comes to penalty shootout. He will come there and also display his professionalism in the field of play.

So, once you are a player, you are a player, your wing notwithstanding. Am I making sense?

1And Saul was consenting unto his death. …Saul means Paul. He was Saul that time when he was persecuting the Christians. He consented to the death of saint Stephen whom he killed while defending Jewish religion; payment of tithe, observance of Sabbath laws etc.

1And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

2AND DEVOUT MEN carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. KJV

Living Bible (But some godly Jews came and with great sorrow buried Stephen.)

Good News Bible. Some devout men buried Stephen, mourning for him with loud cries.

Amplified version. [A party of] devout men with others helped to carry out and bury Stephen and made great lamentation over him. Amen.

Now, our Brother has slept. He has gone ahead of us. It is our responsibility as devout men who are bound with him by an everlasting covenant with the Almighty God.

Remember it is a marriage union; a spiritual affair. That is why the unity can never be tampered with, for the cord that binds us together is a delicate one.

If you know you are numbered among these devout men, I want you to stand up wherever you are. Glory be to God.

Do we have young men around who helped us in preparing this grave? If they are around, can they please come forward. The people that helped in preparing this grave should please come out.

We cannot come unless you permit us to go there and do the interment. Otherwise, it is an abomination. You prepared the grave and you will receive your brother’s corpse.

We cannot use rope unless it is your tradition to use rope. Do you use rope or you lower it gently? Thank you!

Let the young men be there. We are bringing it. Take your positions. Please do not allow it to drop. Gently lower it.

You are in the ground of truth. You see why the Church is called the Ground and Pillar of Truth. The Pillar of Truth is here and not ordinary truth. Truth that transforms human lives, human ideas, human philosophies, everything! When you come to Christ, educated people will be feeling as if they have not been educated before. You will hate going to Church forever because nothing blinds more than Church. Ecclesiastical veil hindered people from recognizing Christ. It is still in operation till now.

GOD DELIGHTS IN REPEATING WHAT HE DID BACK YONDER VOLUME 2; Preached on SUNDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER 2017; Pg. 30 vs. 21 – 23

THE UNITING POINT BY THE SON OF MAN

We are going to the grave. We love your comportment all this while. We would not like someone who will come here to behave as if he did not see this corpse, or someone coming here to begin to attempt suicide. We do not want it.

Our brother is a gentle Brother. His family and the entire community, from our own assessment, are very good and peaceful.

So please, this place cannot accommodate all of you. You stay there as observers and watch what is happening here, lest you mount pressure on the edge of the grave, and it will now sink. If it collapses, another story will now be told.

Before you know it, we will be labeled secret cult, if we have not been labeled one because of our uniform.

But intelligent and educated people here know the symbol. That is the symbol of unity. We are the uniting point between the East and the West, the North and the South.

And it is on record that since the history of mankind, it was only on the round date December 25 1999 that culminated into the new year, when the whole world was talking about the millennium bomb (the failure of the computer system);

It was that night that the Sultan of Sokoto sighted the moon in Sokoto, for he is in-charge of Sokoto caliphate. When he announced it, it coincided with the Christmas celebration.

Federal Government printed greeting cards. They printed one “Happy Christmas” and another one “Barka da Sallah”, with this logo [the moon and the star].

The moon and the star met for the first time, making you to understand that we are serving only one God, not two. Whether you are Greek or you are Jew, God does not make any difference.

Can you give it to me there in the Scriptures in Acts 10:35. Permit Me to read it, for if I do not read it, many will not believe it.

Good News Bible. Those who fear him and do what is right are acceptable to him, no matter what race they belong to.

Living Bible. In every nation he has those who worship him and do good deeds and are acceptable to him.

King James Version. But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Have I balanced it? God deals with us as individuals. Where you are coming from makes no meaning. There is no denomination in Paradise. What is in Paradise are those that do the will of Allah. If you do not do the will of Allah, you will never smell Paradise which is Heaven.

Our problem is that we do not travel far and wide and anything we do not understand because we have limited language proficiency [language barrier], we label it devil.

If you have been to the North and come into contact with the Muslims or have read the Holy Quran like we have our copies here, you will come to terms that all of them have portions of truth God gave to them.

If I say Salamu Alaikum, I am saying “Peace be unto you”. It does not make me a devil. If I say Allahu Akbar, I am saying “God is the greatest”. If God is not the Greatest, are you the greatest? We must be versatile.

Any language you do not understand you call that thing a curse. There is a way an Owerri indigene will speak and a native of Onitsha will think he is being insulted. But this is truth.

Go to Idoma. “Onuku” means “my friend”, but in Igbo land, “onuku” means a foolish person. Amen.

Where is Pastor Dan? It is your turn. Apostle Ojiakor and Apostle Kelechi go to the graveyard and inter this body.

If you are concerned and you feel like pouring sand in the grave, you are free. We see nothing wrong in it.

But where your faith is against it, you can leave it, but as far we are concerned, we see nothing evil in it. We can balance it for you in the Scripture if you need it.

To God be the glory. Amen.
