HE GAVE SOME BELIEVING HEARTS TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH AND HE GAVE SOME UNBELIEVING HEART TO BELIEVE LIES FOR THE WORLD LIETH IN WICKEDNESS. WHO DID THIS SELECTION? THE ALMIGHTY GOD! WHO INCLUDED YOU IN THE NUMBER? THE ALMIGHTY GOD! I ONLY APPEARED

DO YOUR EXPERIENCES CORRESPOND WITH THE SCRIPTURES?
You are blessed Brethren. We really thank God for the wonderful way which He moved this morning, reassuring us of our salvation. This is really an assurance of salvation to God’s Elect worldwide. A reassurance of our salvation. God reaffirming our appointment and our confirmation in Him this morning.
This will go a long way in the hearts of all Elect worldwide. But to those that are destined to be lost, there is no way this Message can give them joy, for they can see their doom in front of them.
ASSURANCE OF SALVATION; Preached 7th March, 1999; Page 120 verses 1-2. …Every true seed of God is sustained by the Word of God. He is not sustained by his feelings. He is not sustained by his mind or conscience. He is not sustained by his philosophy or ideology. Every true seed of God is sustained by the Word of God.
If you believe it, say Amen. 1999. 21 years ago.
Find out what has been sustaining you all this while. Crosscheck your standpoint in this Faith. If what has been sustaining you is not the Word of God, you are sustained by the devil. Devil is falsely sustaining you in error.
The devil is falsely sustaining that individual in error. And why is the individual in error? It is because he failed to be sustained by the Word of God.
The person is enjoying the glamour of iniquity.
God said that it is God in us that made us to have the desire for His Word. It is God in us giving us that desire to obey Him. It is God in us that is sustaining us.
[13]For God is at work within you, helping you want to obey him, and then helping you do what he wants. [Philippians 2:13 LB]
[13]For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. [Philippians 2:13 LB]
13[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. [Philippians 2:13 AMP]
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE FALLEN AWAY FROM THE FAITH BUT WE ARE STILL MOVING ON. MAJORITY HAVE DROPPED, BUT SOME ARE STILL MOVING ON.
It is that same God that is sustaining you and I. This is simply because if we did not welcome Christ into our lives, there is no way He will sustain us.
Why are some being sustained falsely by the devil? They welcomed Satan into their lives. They welcomed the devil into their lives. And now, they are being sustained in error by the devil.
But we that have received Christ, bid Him welcome into our lives and into our families, we are now being sustained by that same God. And there is no way He will remove His eyes off from us.
Page 87 verse 36 – 37. As long as your life is disagreeing with the Word of God, you are not born again. As long as your daily conducts, your character, your behaviour is disagreeing with the conduct of children of God, I am saying you are not born again.
21 years ago!
You do not have the Spirit of God. You are not born of God. You are not a member of His family.
37Even if you are sitting down in the Church, it is your right like any other person. You are just escorting people.
Find out whether your experience compares with the Scriptures. If your experience as a child of God does not compare very well with the Scriptures, please do something now. I say, do something now.
Your experience must correspond with that in the Scriptures. Was it not our experiences that we were reading out this morning? God said that they are infallible proofs.
We have so many ways which we have proved this Faith to be true. There is a series of demonstrations and unquestionable evidences.
All of them are scriptural and prophetic!
So, if your own does not correspond with what we are reading out from the scriptures to be true, ask yourself a pertinent question.
This is because God said that we are here to repeat what has happened before and that a new thing is not taking place again.
If you check everything that is happening in the Bridal Faith in the Scriptures, you will find out that some people had already manifested it, starting from the time when God had dealing with His people in the wilderness.
FALLING AWAY FROM THE FAITH DID NOT START TODAY. SO MANY PEOPLE WERE FALLING AWAY. SO, IF YOU FALL AWAY FROM THIS FAITH TODAY, DO NOT SEE IT AS A BIG THING. YOU HAVE MANIFESTED SOMEONE’S SPIRIT IN TIME PAST.
So, if you are in the same Faith till now; if you are still standing in the Faith till now, know that there is a spirit which you are manifesting, which had already manifested a long time ago.
If you are a child of God now and you are obeying God, that means that there was somebody somewhere that manifested it before, and you are manifesting it now.
HENCE, WE SAY THAT SPIRITS DO NOT DIE, FOR THEY LIVE TO ANOINT PEOPLE. IT IS THE ONE YOU WELCOME THAT WILL ANOINT YOU.
There is no way a spirit you do not know will just enter into you and anoint you anyhow and start using you. No way! You must first of all welcome that spirit. You must desire it first before that spirit will come.
IT IS FINISHED; Preached on Sunday 16th September 2012; Page 45 verse 59 – 62. I heard the Son of Man saying on Saturday 16th September, 2012 that He IS COMFORTLESS NOW. and THAT WE SHOULD PRAY VERY well that nobody will have any difficulty or problem with the Son of Man now for “dying minute problem” has no remedy; and because what is before Him will make him not to remember you. And I start speaking to my brethren.
LET ME GIVE YOU AN INSTANCE. HAVE YOU SEEN A HEN THAT HAS A VERY BIG NUMBER OF CHICKS; UP TO TWELVE? NOW WATCH WHAT THE HEN WILL DO. IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE CHICKS WILL ENTER INSIDE HER WINGS, SHE WILL ENLARGE HER WINGS VERY WELL. NO MATTER THE NUMBER OF ITS CHICKS, ALL OF THEM MUST ENTER IN.
THE HEN WILL NOT BE COMFORTABLE UNTIL ALL HER CHICKS ENTER IN. THEN COMFORTABLY, SHE WILL JUST COVER ALL OF THEM WITH ITS WINGS. THERE, YOU WILL BE SEEING THEM MAKING SOME LITTLE NOISE. AT TIMES YOU SEE THEM, SOME WILL BRING OUT THEIR HEAD TO PEEP AND WATCH THE WORLD, THEN ENTER IN AGAIN. THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE NOW. Is it true?
62That He is comfortless is because He is trying to expand His wings so that all His Elect will enter in and from there, they will peep and see the destruction of the wicked. Amen.
Have you see the aim of God? Since 2012, He said that He has expanded His wings so that all the Elect can enter. But how many have entered so far? God expanding His own wings, but people said no, that they do not want to enter. What then do you think will be their fate?
Page 47 verse 65. The Son of Man is comfortless now, just to make sure that you and I will be comfortably swallowed in.
Make sure that you do not have any difficulty at this dying minute with Him for what is ahead of Him will make Him not to remember you, your position in this Bridal Ministry notwithstanding, for nobody will look at you.
That you are an apostle or prophet, that is you. It is unnoticed before him.
TODAY, THIS PROPHECY IS FULFILLED.
God said, “Do not have any problem with Him in this dying minute, your position in this Bridal Faith notwithstanding.” Remember, God is no respecter of persons.
Page 58 verse 8. DISENTANGLE YOURSELF FROM WHATEVER THAT WILL MAKE YOU NOT TO BE INSIDE THAT GREAT HEN THAT EXPANDED HER WINGS TO ACCOMMODATE ALL HER CHICKS (the Elect).
GET RID OF EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG IN YOUR LIFE TODAY.
I AM THE SON OF MAN. IF HE PREDESTINATED YOU FOR SALVATION, YOU MUST CONFORM TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON. I AM YOUR MASTERPIECE. NOTHING IS ENTERING THERE (PARADISE) EXCEPT THE PERSON THAT IS LIKE THE MASTERPIECE. ……. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU BELONG TO, WHETHER YOU ARE THIS AND THAT; IT IS NOT IN CHRIST. IN CHRIST WE ARE ONE. YOU DO NOT TALK OF MUSLIM OR CHRISTIAN. THE ALMIGHTY GOD DOES NOT BELONG TO ANY GROUP. HE STANDS ALONE AS THE SELF-EXISTING ONE.
BE ON THE RED ALERT; Preached on Sunday 30th September, 2012; Pg. 53 vs. 16 & Pg. 77 vs. 34 – 35

GOD’S NATURE IS OUR TICKET TO PARADISE
GOD IS REVEALED BY HIS WORD VOLUME 1; Preached on 26th June, 1995 at Ohuba Meeting by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN; Page 30 verse 28 – 29.
28ANYTIME THE WORD OF GOD GOES FORTH WITHOUT OPPOSING YOUR WAY, KNOW THAT IT IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD; IT IS THE WORD OF MAN.
29THE WORD OF GOD DOES NOT GO FORTH AND YOU CLAP YOUR HANDS. IT MAY COME OUT IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WILL CANCEL YOUR MARRIAGE, CANCEL HOW YOU STARTED AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
IT WILL TELL YOU THE BEST WAY OF LIFE. IT MAY BE HARD, BUT TRY YOUR BEST AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE. THAT IS WHERE THE WAY LIFE IS, NO MATTER HOW HARD IT IS.
Have you seen why the Word of God is coming to us on a daily basis? This Word is very hard. It is very hurtful. God said that a correction that does not make you feel hurt is not a good correction.
[11]Being punished isn’t enjoyable while it is happening—it hurts! But afterwards we can see the result, a quiet growth in grace and character. [Hebrews 12:11 LB]
11For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it [a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness–in conformity to God’s will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God]. [Hebrews 12:11 AMP]
That Word of God that does not touch you, that does not check that place in you which you know that is making you to always be in opposition with God, if it does not touch that place, know that it is not the Word of God.
But if it touches that place, no matter how hard it is, try and put it into practice. If you do not put that Word of God into practice, God will use somebody as a condemnation to you, who put that Word into practice. And you will stand condemned, while the person stands justified.
There is a quote in our midst. It says: “THAT MESSAGE WHICH YOU FIND HARD TO BELIEVE, AND SOMEBODY ELSE HAS BELIEVED IT, THAT PERSON AUTOMATICALLY STANDS AS A CONDEMNATION TO YOU.” So strive that you may obey that Message which is very hard on you.
There is a warning here on page 62 verse 2 of the Message GOD IS REVEALED BY HIS WORD VOLUME 1. It says: …NOBODY ANNOYS GOD AND GOES SCOT-FREE. NO! I HAVE A REASON FOR THIS WARNING.
Let us try at every point in time never to annoy the Spirit of God in us for you can never go scot-free.
FIND OUT THE PURPOSE YOU ARE FULFILLING IN THIS MINISTRY VOLUME 1; Preached 3rd November, 2013 at the Household of God, Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN. Page 58 verse 10 & 13.
10You have the right to claim that you are in the Faith of Christ, but let it be known to you that God will only certify and confirm only those that are really His.
13If you are in this Faith and you do not want to learn a lesson by paying heed to the instructions you have received in this Church, one day you will learn your own lesson in a harder way.
What is that harder way? When that instruction must have put you to public disgrace and shame.
Proverbs 5: 12 – 14, LB. 12And you say, “Oh, if only I had listened! If only I had not demanded my own way! 13Oh, why wouldn’t I take advice? Why was I so stupid? 14For now I must face public disgrace.”
For now, I must face what? Public disgrace. Why? He refused to listen to advice.
FIND OUT THE PURPOSE YOU ARE FULFILLING IN THIS MINISTRY VOLUME 1; Page 61 verses 20 to 21. [1] The moment a man’s conscience is dead, the man is dead.
[2] No child of God disobeys God and feels happy.
Once you are a seed of God and discover yourself in disobedience, you must remain restless. Your heart will be fainting until you make it right. That is a sign that you are a seed of God.
That is a sure sign. Can the devil regret doing evil? The devil can never regret doing evil or finding himself in error. The devil can never regret.
It takes a seed of God to be overtaken by evil and he cries; he weeps; he sorrows painfully until he makes it right, and God restores in him the joy of his salvation.
21However, once you are on the wrong side and your heart is saying that it does not matter, to begin with, YOU ARE A FOREIGNER IN THE FAMILY OF GOD, FOR NO CHILD OFFENDS HIS FATHER AND FEELS HAPPY.
By these characteristics, we can place ourselves where we rightly belong to, for we can deny everything, but not denying who we are and what is happening in us. Thank you!
Can you deny how you are feeling or how you feel under certain circumstances? If a true seed of God commits sin, he feels unsafe. He feels insecure. Wherever he is, fear grips him. His appetite snaps and sleep vanishes. I am telling you.
He becomes moody. He will be moving about coldly. But when he comes out of that condition through prayers, through supplication and through real repentance, God automatically restores the joy of the person’s salvation.
He regains Fellowship with Christ again. His lips will be blossoming and his face, full of smiles. Appetite will be restored. Health, restored. Joy, restored. Friendship and friendliness, restored.
DO YOU KNOW THAT A SINNER IS UNFRIENDLY WITH CHILDREN OF GOD? EVEN WITHOUT A CAUSE. SHOW ME ONE WHO IS UNFRIENDLY WITH BRETHREN WITHOUT A CAUSE AND I WILL SHOW YOU A SINNER.
You know, some people lack the spiritual insight of the hour we are living in. That is why they make costly mistakes.
And if you see someone on the wrong side, whose heart will not judge and the person’s conscience will never adjudge the person guilty whenever he does wrong, watch that individual.
That person always has troubles with God. He is never in right standing with God. He is never at peace with God. And that is what makes the person a foreigner in the House of God.
IT IS FINISHED, page 175 verse 22. I DECLARE IT ONCE AGAIN: IT IS FINISHED. MY MISSION IN THE GENTILE WORLD IS ACCOMPLISHED. I AM ABOUT TO PRESENT THE FEW I COLLECTED. YOU KNOW MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN. THE FEW I COLLECTED ARE ABOUT TO BE PRESENTED. AS A RESULT, EXPECT NOTHING HIGHER.
God said that we should not expect anything again if not the presentation of the few, whom He has collected in this dispensation.
FIND OUT THE PURPOSE YOU ARE FULFILLING IN THIS MINISTRY VOLUME 1; Preached on 3rd November, 2013; Page 71 verse 47.
…ALL CHILDREN OF GOD MUST HAVE THE SAME NATURE. GOD’S NATURE, YOUR TICKET TO PARADISE.
If you do not have God’s nature, you cannot dwell with Him eternally. You can sojourn with Him here. Even, you will be having troubles with Him while you are here; a sure sign that you are not going with Him.
So anybody that is having troubles with THE SON OF MAN right now, that person just has it in mind that he is very sure that he is not going with Him.
You can sojourn with Him here. Even, you will be having troubles with Him while you are here; a sure sign that you are not going with Him, for we are heading to a Place where there will be no trouble. GOD’S NATURE IS YOUR ONLY AND ONLY TICKET TO PARADISE.
God reaffirming it once again. God’s nature, your only and only ticket to Paradise.
Page 95 verse 11 – 12. If you are not a seed of God from the beginning, you can never be a seed of God at the end.
IF THAT SAME FIRST ZEAL WHICH YOU USED IN SERVING GOD DIES DOWN ALONG THE WAY, KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT FROM GOD. A SEED OF GOD NEVER GROWS TIRED IN WORSHIPPING GOD.
He does not go home, “Let me go on break” or “They have not paid me my salary.” It is lie! You worship God. Whether in health or out of health, a true seed of God worships God.
He does not embark on a strike action or get leave of absence to go and worship the devil or to go and kiss the world. “Let me take leave of absence for a while, let me go and taste the world and know what the world is saying.” Who has ever tasted the world and come back again?
IF YOU ARE NOT A SEED OF GOD FROM THE BEGINNING, YOU CAN NEVER BE A SEED OF GOD AT THE END.
So, all these people that have fallen away, who were not a part of God from the beginning, is it now that they expect that a miracle will happen and they become seeds of God?
There is no miracle that will happen again because God gave them an opportunity long long time ago to change their hearts and be converted, but they refused.
Now, we have reached the end and they are now expecting God to perform a miracle that will change them in the twinkling of an eye to become seeds of God. My Brethren, it is impossible.
11…GOD CAN USE A MAN AFTER WHICH HE WILL BREAK HIM INTO PIECES.
12I have told you times without number that God reserves the right to use a man anyhow He wants. He made some of honour, and some of dishonour.
Thus, find out the purpose you are fulfilling in this Ministry, lest, God after using you to help others, He will break you into pieces.
Find out the purpose you and I are fulfilling in this Ministry. This is because if you know the purpose you are fulfilling in this Ministry with all your heart, you know what your reward is at the end.
That is why, if you do not know the purpose you are fulfilling in this Ministry, you expect anything at the end.
But if you are sure and certain that you are doing a very good work in this Ministry of Christ, expect nothing but eternal life at the end.
But if in your heart and your mind, you know very well that you are just deceiving yourself, you know where you are getting your reward at the end.
IS YOUR TICKET VALID AND OKAYED VOLUME 1; Preached on Sunday 22nd September, 2019; Page 71 verse 11. Then, if there is any time you should be careful, it is now. Why? THE SON OF MAN has gathered all the loose ends.
Brethren, mention that country where this Message has not entered. It has entered even villages and in all languages. There is no country standing to oppose this Message one bit; no individual.
Today, we recorded 277 under countries. So, we have gone beyond countries.
We have indeed gone beyond countries.
Then, if there is any time you should be careful, it is now. Why? THE SON OF MAN has gathered all the loose ends. By the loose ends, I mean anything called religion. There is no truth that is contained in any religion which THE SON OF MAN has not picked.
Even in the Grail Message which we read recently. That is a portion of the truth. THE SON OF MAN has picked all. He has gathered all the loose ends.
So, if there is anytime we should be careful, it is now. Are we not children of the Prophet? Don’t we know what the Prophet said about when this Ministry will go round the whole world? Don’t we know what the Prophet said about it?
Expect nothing but the end. Expect nothing higher again. So, if you have not believed from the beginning till now, you are simply wasting your time. If you say that you will start now to believe God, you are wasting your time.
IS YOUR TICKET VALID AND OKAYED VOLUME 1; Page 79 verses 5 – 6. 5OUR COMMON ENEMY IS THAT THING WHICH WILL HINDER US FROM RE-UNITING WITH GOD IN PARADISE..
We have already been reunited with God here on Earth. God said that whatever that will stop us from being reunited with Him in Paradise is our common enemy.
5OUR COMMON ENEMY IS THAT THING WHICH WILL HINDER US FROM RE-UNITING WITH GOD IN PARADISE, AND FROM REALIZING GOD’S PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE. WHAT IS THAT COMMON ENEMY? UNBELIEF, NO MATTER WHERE IT IS FOUND.
6That is why God said we should collectively fight out all traces of unbelief from among us, beginning with our families. But unfortunately, those that have this order are the people cementing unbelief, and they want to meet God in Paradise. Who is your masterpiece?
What is the title of today’s Message? WHAT THEN IS THE BASIS FOR YOUR UNBELIEF? After all these infallible proofs, unquestionable evidences and everything, what then is the basis of your unbelief?
God highlighting it in this Message; IS YOUR TICKET VALID AND OKAYED? VOLUME 1 in verse 5 and said: WHAT IS THAT COMMON ENEMY? UNBELIEF, NO MATTER WHERE IT IS FOUND.
That is why God said we should collectively fight out all traces of unbelief from among us, beginning with our families.
But today, there are families that are now cementing members of their families in unbelief. Something God said we should fight against, some people are now cementing in that unbelief.
IS YOUR TICKET VALID AND OKAYED VOLUME 1; Page 109 verse 35 – 39. 35In other words, GOD IS EXPECTING EVERYBODY THAT IS COMING TO SHOW ONLY BUT ONE CHARACTER. ONLY ONE CHARACTER WILL BE FOUND IN PARADISE. ONE CHARACTER WILL ENTER PARADISE, NOT TWO CHARACTERS. ONLY ONE CHARACTER.
36IF THE DOCTRINE IS ONE, THE FAITH IS ONE, BAPTISM IS ONE, THE LORD IS ONE and PARADISE IS ONE, CHARACTER MUST BE ONE.
37AFTER ALL, CHARACTER IS YOUR DOCTRINE REFLECTED. FOR YOUR DOCTRINE REFLECTS IN YOUR CHARACTER. NO MAN CAN LIVE A LIFE HIGHER THAN HIS DOCTRINE.
38IF I HAVE GIVEN YOU DOCTRINE AFTER HOLINESS, SURELY IT MUST REFLECT IN YOUR CHARACTER. 39WHATEVER YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE MUST REFLECT. IT IS YOUR DOCTRINE. IT IS YOUR FAITH. WE SEE CHRIST AS OUR EXAMPLE.
Christ has always been our example from day one till today. That is why God’s nature will always be our ticket to Paradise. God’s nature, our ticket to Paradise.
That is why He came into our midst in human form, bodily on two feet, so that we will not have any excuse at the end. That is why God came and manifested Himself in the midst of the Bride, so that we will never have anything that we will say hindered us from patterning after Christ and doing the same thing we are doing on a daily basis.
Are you working? He is working. Do you have a family? He has. Are you being pressured with things that concern the world? He is being pressured also. Do you face challenges? He faces challenges. That is why God said, “There is no excuse for whosoever that does not make it at the end.”
Any moment from now, THE SON OF MAN shall be glorified again for the last time. When He shall be glorified, you shall be glorified with Him. He shall be glorified in the midst of the Saints. He shall not be glorified in the world. He shall be glorified in the midst of the Saints. When you exalt THE SON OF MAN, He will draw many souls unto Himself. The greatest wedding is about to unfold. Anybody that is not a part of the wedding must regret the day he or she was born on this earth, for no being can bear the trouble of that day.
AS WE WAIT AT THE GATE OF PARADISE VOL 2; preached on Sunday, 3rd April, 2011; Pg. 5

WHO ARE YOU COMMUNICATING AND COMMUNING WITH?
Brethren, follow me to the message WHY WE MUST BE CAREFUL. This message was preached on 10th June, 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN. Page 31 verse 27.
If you are not in fellowship with God, you are in fellowship with the devil for every living human being is always in a fellowship.
God said last week that you are always in a meeting with somebody, both physically and spiritually. And it is either with God or with devil, whether you are sleeping or not. Unseen spirit!
That is why God said, “If you find it difficult to bring out one hour for God in a day, that means twenty-three hours of the day spent was in fellowship with Satan.
Let us take it this way. We are always in constant fellowship with somebody. Even when you are walking, you are having fellowship with somebody.
IT IS WHEN THE FEAR OF GOD DEPARTS FROM SOMEBODY’S HEART THAT YOU SEE THE PERSON DUPING ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL. YOU SEE THE PERSON LYING JUST TO EXTORT MONEY FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL.
That is why, the person is in fellowship with the devil because it is the devil that works out those ideas. It will never be God. If it is God, God will tell you to be truthful to the core.
IT IS WHEN YOU LOSE THAT CONVICTION THAT YOU ARE IN FELLOWSHIP AT EVERY MOMENT IN TIME THAT YOU MISBEHAVE YOURSELF IN PUBLIC, THEREBY BRINGING BLASPHEMY UPON THE NAME OF GOD.
You are constantly in a fellowship. The same way, once you are breathing, you are communicating, for you are either communicating or communing with God or you are communing with the devil.
Once you are breathing, you are communicating with so many unseen spirits. THIS IS A QUOTE.
ONCE YOU ARE ALIVE, YOU ARE COMMUNING AND COMMUNICATING WITH SOMEBODY. IT IS EITHER YOU ARE COMMUNING AND COMMUNICATING WITH GOD OR YOU ARE COMMUNING AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEVIL.
So the choice is now in your hands to make as to who you communicate and commune with. If it is the devil, there is no need to tell us that it is the devil you are communing with.
With your character, we will know that you are communing and communicating with the devil. From what you exhibit, from what you say, the reflection of your communication must show outwardly.
If it is God, it must reflect outwardly. If it is with the devil, you must reflect outwardly. It is a MUST. It is not a communication that can be hidden. No way! True or false?
WHY WE MUST BE CAREFUL; Page 61 verse 23 through 26. 23God can wipe away somebody’s name from Book of Life. Your name might be there in the beginning, but before we get to the end, your name is no longer there.
That is why Jesus Christ told His disciples saying; whosoever that shall endure till the end, the same shall be saved.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. [Matthew 24:13 KJV]
24What is more? To help us to remain steadfast, unshakable and immovable in Him unto the end, He decided to glorify Himself for the last time in the midst of the Bride so that anybody that is moving away will blame himself and not God because both the visible and invisible parts of God have been revealed to us.
25If we say that we are drawing back, we draw back unto perdition and the spirit of God will no longer be pleased with us.
Remember today’s topic. WHAT IS THE BASIS OF YOUR UNBELIEF? God said that both the visible and invisible parts of God have been revealed to us.
True or false?
What then is the basis of unbelief? Where is that doubt coming from? What then will you say you want to see again which you have not seen? What else do you want Him to manifest which you have not seen again?
We have seen more than the Jews.
Even the promised immortal body which some people thought it was a dream, He decided to reveal it here in His Original Body.
Look at how all of you will be presented to Him on that day. Spotless white.
Some people were thinking it was a mere dream, but it happened live. And now with this, we have that hope. We have that assurance of that immortal body. We have that assurance of this clothe.
We can see it as we are seeing ourselves right now because, He [God] has manifested it. So, whatever God does is never a lie. It must come to pass.
On that day when this promise will come to pass, some people will say, “So all these things they were saying are true.” Those that doubted it, one day they must say, “So this thing they we were saying was true.”
Our Pastor Chizoba reliably told Me that when he took the photograph of the Original Body to his late brother in-law Johnson and the wife and presented the picture told them what transpired and how it was taken, his senior sister, who left the Faith with the husband said, “So at last what THE SON OF MAN said has come to pass. So this thing, at last, has become truth.”
That was why the late husband was asking to come back, pleading that he would come back, but I could not allow him before he died. His blood will not be required from Me for I gave Him conditions.
25If we say that we are drawing back, we draw back unto perdition and the spirit of God will no longer be pleased with us. Thus if we continue to match on, we will match on unto the saving of our souls.
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. [Hebrews 10:39 KJV]
26As a result, always pray that God will give you His spiritual insight and understanding to understand and also the fact that even this preacher who was the light of many of you in this Faith is in prison custody. …
This statement is referring to former Bishop Okechukwu Paul. He was the one that handled the Message that was being read in this Message.
God was referring to him and said that even the preacher who was the delight of many of you is now in prison custody, waiting for the day his own matter will be decided at the end.
So let us never lose sight of the facts of whatever we are hearing because it is when you forget what your eyes have seen, what your ears have heard [in fact what you experienced; your whole experiences from day one till today] that is when unbelief will start rearing its head in your life.
And once that unbelief starts, if you do not check it instantly, it will linger like that till the end, because, to fight unbelief is a very big battle. Even in an individual’s life, it is a war to fight unbelief.
I am telling you the truth. Unbelief is not a small war that you just fight under two days. It is a lie. This is because the more you receive God’s Word, the more it is hardening you in that unbelief. So it is better you do not even have an unbelieving heart at the first place.
Unbelief begins by reasoning the Word of God. It begins by reasoning the possibility of the fulfillment of His prophecies. Then, it will lead you to programming God and tying God to time. But you cannot program the devil. You cannot tie the devil to time.
People normally have a timetable with God, a time frame with God, but they do not have a time frame with the devil.
You are Christ’s Ambassadors if you have believed THE SON OF MAN. And once you are Christ’s Ambassador, you become Christ’s Representatives. Anybody that is opposing you is opposing Christ. You don’t give him even a second that the truth of the gospel will continue. ……. I am an Ambassador of Christ. A Representative. Whatever Christ stands for, that is what I am standing for. No more, no less. He that is not with Me is against Me.

DOES THE WORD ABIDE IN YOU?
ASSURANCE OF SALVATION; Preached 7th March, 1999; Page 67 from verse 5. 5…IF THE WORD OF GOD ABIDES IN YOU, YOU ARE THE FULFILLMENT OF THE WORD. YOUR BODY IS HARBOURING THE WORD.
If the Word of God abides in you and abides in me, then we are the fulfillment of the Word.
6WHEN WE WANT TO SEE THE EFFECT OF THE WORD, WE LOOK AT YOUR CHARACTER. IF THE EFFECT OF THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT SEEN IN YOU, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME. …
This is because, we are written epistles read of all men. We have become the Bible made flesh; The Scriptures made flesh; Ancient writings made flesh; Word of God made flesh.
Page 69 from verse 12 – 23. 12All I am saying is that there is nobody in this Most Holy Faith that does not know whether he is keeping God’s commands or not. DOES IT REQUIRE PROPHECY? YOU KNOW THE TEACHINGS YOU HAVE RECEIVED IN THIS CHURCH AT VARIOUS TIMES.
If you obey them, you know. If you are not obeying, you know.
We have received teachings on every aspect of human life; human activities. If you are in disobedience, you know. And you equally know the area.
If you are obeying wholeheartedly, holistically, totally and absolutely, you know. If you have taken the Word of God as your absolute in your day, you know.
If you have taken it as a casual statement, made for silly and foolish people, or you regard it as fairy tale, stories of the ancient, according to the Holy Qur’an, you know.
13If you obey them you know. If you are not obeying, you know. It does not require “Brother tell me”, “Sister tell me wherein I have offended” or “Brother tell me wherein I have erred.” No!
YOU KNOW WHERE YOU HAVE ERRED BECAUSE I HAVE GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING PERTAINING TO GODLINESS, THAT YOU MIGHT ATTAIN THAT HIS DIVINE NATURE.
Have you really attained His Divine nature? IF AFTER RECEIVING ALL THESE TEACHINGS AND YOU HAVE NOT ATTAINED GOD’S DIVINE NATURE, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU AND NOT WITH THE MESSAGE.
AND WHAT IS THAT THING THAT HINDERS YOU FROM ATTAINING GOD’S DIVINE NATURE? UNBELIEF.
Put your hands together for God. From today, WHAT IS THE BASIS OF YOUR UNBELIEF? If I remember years back, God said, “If you peach this gospel truth to somebody and he then says he does not believe, do not go away and leave him like that. Sit down with him until you find out from him why he does not believe and the area he does not believe.” Why?
There is nothing wrong with this Message. If there is anything wrong, it is with the individual.
Many are receiving the Messages in their jotters, while some are receiving it in their brain.
Some are receiving it merely with their mouth, but only few are receiving the message in their hearts.
Brethren put your hands together. Nothing can be truer than the truth. Place yourself where you belong to.
THESE FEW ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS. THEY MAKE UP THE TRUE BRIDE. THE REST ARE COUNTERFEITS, WHO WILL BE DISALLOWED AND REJECTED IN THE END AS COUNTERFEITS.
With the heart, man believeth unto righteousness, and not with the brain. 16But with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. You cannot tell me that you have believed in your jotter and that becomes your righteousness. Never!
17What of those that do not write, and they do not read. If writing down in your jotter makes you righteous, it then means those people will perish. You may even condemn yourself with your jotter on the last day.
18I know many will deny some of my teachings that day. Brother you never told me. I did not hear. I was not in the church that day. It is a lie! You were in the church. You heard it well well.
19But I thank God that He will not position Me in a place where I will enter into argument with anybody. For now, I can argue, but a day is coming when I will not argue.
And today is that day. Today is that day.
This same mercy seat will become your judgment seat. As at 1999.
Halleluiah! When was this message handled? 7th March, 1999. 21 years ago. Where are we now? Judgment, for mercy has been spurned. Mercy has been spurned and abused. Where are we? 21 years ago! TODAY THIS PROPHECY IS FULFILLED.
20This same mercy seat will become your judgment seat. The same mercy seat is the judgment seat. Who knows that Christ is the mercy seat? Is it scriptural?
21But who knows that Christ is the judgment seat also? God bless you. When you know this fundamental truth in Christ, happy are you. You will know how to conduct yourself.
When you are personally and practically acquainted with this fundamental truth in Christ and about Christ, happy are you.
You will then know how to comport yourself in all situations and in all circumstances, for the circumstances you find yourself do not make you what you are, but will only tell the whole world who you are, the stuff you are made up of and what you believe, for your belief is your character.
22That time, when we heard the Message that the Justifier of the Gentiles is here, I underlined that Message, and in My own jotter, I put it perfect.
The Justifier of the Gentiles is here. The destroyer of the Gentiles is on His way, coming swiftly to make a quick riddance upon the earth.
And He has arrived at last. The seat has changed. The seat has been re-designated. The designation of that office has changed. It is no longer mercy seat, but now judgment seat.
We do not talk of showing mercy or setting you free. We are talking about mitigating the judgment and mitigating the level of punishment. But who will mitigate it?
23I underlined the prophecy in My jotter because I know that any moment from now, the Bride will be taken away.
And the moment the Bride, which is the true Church of God is taken away, that selfsame day, all that did not partake of that catching away, will face eternal wrath of God which finally will take them to the lake of fire.
Brethren have you seen what God has been doing in our midst?
Do you believe it? There is no religion that never highlighted it. All ancient manuscripts confirmed it to be true.
THE ASSURANCE OF SALVATION; Page 32 verse 33. Many of you here are idolaters yet you do not know. You think the only person that is an idolater is one that is bowing down to a graven image. No!
There are so many graven images in your heart. Worship takes place in your heart. Many many graven images are in your heart.
Why are we hearing this? This is the hour of purely spiritual worship. When those who will worship, will worship in spirit and in truth. Is it not where we are now? Falling away takes place in the spirit. Yet, the person continues to go to fellowship even in his family.
He may even continue to pastor his family. Even the wife will continue to answer Sister. Pastor’s wife, Deacon’s wife, Apostle’s wife. Even their children can fall away.
Let Me tell you. The simplest church to attend now is in the family. You do not travel long distances again. It is from the kitchen to the parlour, parlour to bedroom, bedroom to toilet and toilet to outside.
Even with the tendency to go out to the corridor during fellowship just to look around and get some fresh air. Everybody is locked within now. The Conveniences and inconveniences are all within.
Page 30 from verse 26 through 27. 26IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD AND YOU ARE IN THIS FAITH, YOU ARE TROUBLED EVERY TIME; YOUR MIND IS NEVER AT REST; YOUR HEART IS NEVER AT REST, SOMETHING IS QUESTIONING YOUR CLAIM.
27I say something is questioning your claim. Something is telling you, you are deceiving yourself.
That thing might not be devil. The thing may not be devil. It is Holy Spirit trying to tell you to stop impersonating children of God. HOLY SPIRIT IS WARNING YOU TO STOP IMPERSONATING CHILDREN OF GOD. Rewind it!
If you are a child of God and you are in this Faith, you are troubled every time, your mind is never at rest, your heart is never at rest, and something is questioning your claim.
I say something is questioning your claim. Something is telling you, you are deceiving yourself. That thing might not be devil.
The thing may not be devil. It is Holy Spirit trying to tell you to stop impersonating children of God. HOLY SPIRIT IS WARNING YOU TO STOP IMPERSONATING CHILDREN OF GOD.
The title of this message is THE ASSURANCE OF SALVATION.
Let us read out a place wherein you will see what follows the people, God’s Elect whom God has given an assurance for their salvation.
Page 34 verse 37 – 38. Then for somebody who is rest assured, resolute, grounded and settled, watch him, the effect of this assurance of this salvation will be quietness. What?
Then for somebody who is rest assured, resolute grounded and settled, watch him, the effect of this assurance of this salvation will be quietness.
His life will be quiet and orderly. His home quiet and orderly. Everything will be witnessed quiet, no stumbling block, no occasion to offend anybody.
And in such established quiet condition achieved by God’s righteousness, watch. If there be anybody in the Name of this Faith that snicks in or comes openly with another spirit, he will feel very uncomfortable because that darkness cannot comprehend the light that is already shining.
Have you seen what the assurance of our salvation works in our lives? That is the assurance which God has given to His own people who are resolute, grounded and settled in Him. This is what it brings out in their lives. Godly quietness.
Not an ungodly quietness. Not a family where there is uneasy calm, but one where there is Godly calmness.
THE ASSURANCE OF SALVATION; Page 79 from verse 13 – 16. 13Thus, you can be in this Most Holy Faith, yet you are not born of God. As many as are born of God here, must agree with what God is doing in their day and will be a part of it.
14However, if you are in this Most Holy Faith and you are not a part of what God is doing, maybe you are in our midst, spying into the secret of our liberty, you are a stranger in our midst.
If you are not born of God, you are born of flesh, and you are born of the world.
15First of all, check. Are you really born of God? The basis of the real birth lies in having fleshy heart that is receptive to God’s Word, NOT A STONY HEART.
I repeat. The basis of the real birth lies in having fleshy heart that is receptive to God’s Words, not a stony heart.
16Do you have that new heart that accepts the Word of God readily and manifests the Word of God? For God said, “I will give them a new heart and a new spirit and cause them to walk according to My command and statutes.”
God said that He will give us a new heart that will cause us to walk according to His demands and statutes. Have you seen what that new heart is? A new birth which has occurred in your life and in my life.
THE ASSURANCE OF SALVATION; Page 84, from verse 29 – 30. 29All I am saying is that all of us are still operating with our old stubborn and stony hearts. No matter how the Word of God has been preached, which is the Spirit of God, they have not believed.
Why? The unbelief is yet to go out.
They have not believed. If they have believed, right from the heart would have come out transformation.
They have not yielded themselves to Christ, by welcoming His Word as the Word of Life that can change their spiritual and physical conditions, to meet God’s requirements.
30Do you not know that when you believe the Word of God in your heart, automatically from your heart, you are regenerated? You are now a new individual.
Your old way of thinking, old way of doing things will pass away. Old habits will pass away. A new spirit is now in you, leading you into a new life. A new experience.
ASSURANCE OF SALVATION; Page 124 from verse 13 – 15. 13If I preach a message and I cannot put it into practice, who then do I want to practice it?
MAKE SURE GOD WILL NOT REPRIMAND YOU IN THE END USING THE SAME MESSAGES YOU HAVE PREACHED WHICH YOU REFUSED TO PUT INTO EFFECT FOR REASONS BEST KNOWN TO YOU.
14He that heareth My Word and believeth in He that sent Me has everlasting life and can never go into condemnation forever and ever. Nothing will condemn you. Why? You are being sustained daily by the Word of God.
15What must sustain Me is the Word. What must sustain you is the Word. If any other thing is sustaining you in this Faith outside the Word of God, please put a question mark to your salvation.
If there is any other thing that is sustaining you in this Faith, which is not the Word of God, put a question mark on your salvation. I say, your eternal race is questionable.
God said your eternal race is questionable, if what is sustaining you is not Christ [the Word of God]. First of all, you have to welcome Christ into your life before Christ brings in His Word in your life and that Word starts sustaining you. So if Christ is not in your life, put a question mark on your salvation.
…..ALL AND SUNDRY IN THIS FAITH WILL BEAR WITNESS THAT THE SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA (BLESSED BE TO HIS HOLY NAME) HAS MAINTAINED THE STRICTNESS OF AN APOSTLE. FROM THE INCEPTION OF THIS FAITH, UP TO THIS VERY MOMENT, I HAVE NEVER FOR ONE DAY COMPROMISED THE STRICTNESS WITH ANYBODY BECAUSE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ME. THE HIGHEST THING THAT YOU CAN GIVE ME IS MONEY AND FOOD, OR PROVIDE SHELTER FOR ME, OR BUY A CAR FOR ME. I HAVE NEVER FOR ONE DAY, BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE MATERIAL CONSIDERATIONS LOWERED DOWN THE STANDARD BY PAMPERING, RATHER, AT THAT TIME YOU ARE RENDERING THE SERVICES, THAT IS THE TIME YOU MUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL; FOR I MUST PROVE THE SPIRIT. AND THAT IS WHY THIS FAITH HAS REMAINED ALIVE TILL THIS DAY.
I AM THE STANDARD FOR JUDGMENT TO ALL MEN VOL 2; Preached on Sunday 9th October 2012 Pg. 79 vs. 19 – 21

IS GOD INTERESTED IN YOUR FAMILY?
Lastly, let us consider the Message WHAT MAKES YOUR FAMILY GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD? This Message was Preached on 22nd February, 2015 at the Household of God Onitsha. From page 84 verses 10 – 12.
Is God interested in your family? Is He interested in what is happening in your family?
Is God interested in the affairs of your family? Is God interested in the things that are happening in your family or do they make Him unhappy? Is God distancing Himself from your family or is He interested in living in your family? Are you among those that have locked the door insisting that God can never enter? Are you among those that opened the door and invited Him in?
Brethren I want us to pay attention to this message. WHAT MAKES YOUR FAMILY GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD? That is the title. It was Preached on 22nd February 2015 at the Household of God Onitsha.
10Is God interested in your family? Is He interested in what is happening in your family?
I do not know. What attracted God’s attention to the family? Was it wealth? No! Who bestowed the wealth on Job? God! Was it the children? Who gave him the children? God!
11You must know what attracted God. There was only but one thing; the consciousness of who God is, the fear of God. He was the one that feareth God and escheweth evil. Yes sir!!!
12He was always struggling to do that which is pleasing in the sight of God and was compelling the children to do likewise.
And that was what attracted the attention of God.
Have you seen what attracts the attention of God in every family? A family that feareth and honoureth the Name of God and escheweth evil, compelling the children to do likewise.
WHAT MAKES YOUR FAMILY GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD? Page 87 verses 21-22 21Do you have that which can attract God’s attention to your family? It is not wealth. It is not the building. It is neither the number of people nor the number of your children.
22It is your faithfulness, your loyalty, your dedication, your devotion to that God that bestowed you with children, with riches and your willingness at all times to cause your children to pattern after you, so that the Name of God will not be reproached in your family.
Have you seen what makes a family great in the sight of God? [1] Your devotion, your faithfulness, [2] your dedication to that God that bestowed you with everything you have and [3] also causing your children to pattern after you, so that the Name of God will not be reproached in your family.
Even in this family. That is why Almighty God does not find it funny with anybody that is errant here. Anybody that is taking a very bad path, God is never happy with that person.
This is because, once we leave you unchecked, you will bring reproach to the Name of God, and God will depart from the family.
WHAT MAKES YOUR FAMILY GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD? Page 88 verse 25-27. 25But today, people that want to attract God to their family will see iniquity and feign ignorance. Sometimes they will even come out to defend iniquity, defending the illegality.
26Let somebody condemn that evil in their family, he becomes their greatest enemy. Yet, they want to invite God into their family.
27Some will even go as far as justifying themselves by concluding that what is obtainable in their family is a general phenomenon, and that every family is having it, not knowing that there was one called Job and his family.
Brethren, we are trying to know what makes a family great in the sight of God. Hence we want to know if it is what is making this family great in the sight of God.
If what we are reading out here now is a confirmation of what is happening here, know that this family is a very great family in the sight of God.
WHAT MAKES YOUR FAMILY GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD? Page 94 Verse 15 – 17 & 19 – 20. 15I want you to see what God will see in a family and show keen interest. Often times where we think the interest of God is maybe one million miles away from where His interest is placed.
16What makes a family great is nothing but Christ in the family. What makes a man great is Christ ruling his life.
Let us take note. What makes you great as an individual is Christ ruling your life and my life.
The absence of Christ in a family makes a family poor, impoverished in the sight of God.
There will be darkness in every home where there is wickedness. [Job 18:6 LB]
17Thus when I say your family is great and rich, it is not a great family because you have one million naira. It is not a great family because you have even enough to throw away.
19For Christ to settle in your family, He must be your partner in your life program.
I repeat. For Christ to settle in your family, for Christ to settle even in your life as an individual, He must be your partner in your life program.
When in your life program, Christ is not there, there is no way you can pave a way for Him into the family.
When the head of the family has not paved way for Christ to enter his own life, how can he now pave way for Christ to enter his family? No way!
Impossible!
20And with time, you will know. From the product that will be coming out from your family, you will know that Christ is not there.
What will come out? Bad children. Bad fruits.
CHILDREN OF BELIAL.
Nothing good will come out from that family. You will be hearing evil, evil reports of all sorts coming out from that family. Why? Christ is not in that family.
Page 98 verse 28-34. 28Every family in heaven and on earth must be named after Christ. Every family means every family that is in God, that believes God.
29IF YOUR FAMILY IS NOT NAMED AFTER CHRIST, HOW DO YOU EXPECT CHRIST TO COME OUT OF YOUR FAMILY? IF YOUR FAMILY IS NOT GODLY, GODLY CHILDREN CAN NEVER COME OUT FROM THAT FAMILY.
That is what I am striking at. What makes your family godly? Is it the abundance of wealth you have? No!
30That is why in the book of Jeremiah the prophet, He made it clear, “Let the wealthy man never boast of his wealth. Let the intellectual never boast of his academic attainment. Let the handsome or the beautiful or the ugly not boast of his or her physical appearance. Neither do you boast with your man-made wisdom.
31If you must boast of anything, let your boast be in one thing, that you know; understand, that you are personally acquainted with God; knowing Him as One that delights Himself in righteousness and also in judgment. These are the things that attract God’s attention to any family.
23Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches;
24But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord. [Jeremiah 9: 23 – 24 AMP]
[23]The Lord says: Let not the wise man bask in his wisdom, nor the mighty man in his might, nor the rich man in his riches. [24]Let them boast in this alone: That they truly know me, and understand that I am the Lord of justice and of righteousness whose love is steadfast; and that I love to be this way. [Jeremiah 9:23-24]
32If these things are not found in a family, forget about God identifying with that family. It is impossible. It is absolutely impossible.
33Then the question arises; WHAT IS THE HOPE OF A FAMILY WHERE THERE IS NO CHRIST? Picture the hope of a family where there is no Christ. Where is the hope of a family where Christ is not a member?
WHAT IS THE HOPE OF THAT FAMILY THAT IS NOT NAMED AFTER CHRIST? We have to answer these questions.
34I am giving the indicators of what attracts God into families. You want God to be attracted? Yes, He is willing and ever willing; to be attracted into your family.
You are the one that will give out that invitation for Christ to be welcomed in your family. If you do not give God that invitation, by and by, God will never welcome Himself into your family.
Page 115 verse 1 – 2. 1What am I saying? IS YOUR FAMILY GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD?
I have told you that a poor man is not poor because he has no money, but he is poor because his character is poor, for when character is lost, everything is lost.
2Education without character is ungodliness. Money without character is devilish.
You see why it is necessary that My family must retain its identity which is Christ. Say it three times.
You see why it is necessary that My family must retain its identity which is Christ.
CHRIST IS THE IDENTITY OF EVERY ELECT.
You see why it is necessary that My family must retain its identity which is Christ, for Christ is the identity of every family that is in Him. If Christ is not your identity, you are fooling yourself.
If Christ is not your identity and my own identity, we are fooling ourselves.
What is the identity in your family? A pertinent question for every family under the heavens.
If Christ is the identity of this family, can Christ do without Christ? Can Christ trouble Christ? Deep calleth deep.
Page 117 from verse 6 – 11. 6Can there be any nation without families? Righteousness exalts a family; sin is a reproach to any family. If sin is found in My family, it is a reproach. If it is found in your family, it is a reproach.
7It has no baptismal name than sin. Righteousness exalts a family. Sin is a reproach to any family. Righteousness exalts an individual, but sin drags the reputation of a family to the mud.
8Righteousness exalts the reputation, integrity and dignity of a man, a family, a nation, while unrighteousness, unfaithfulness debases the individual, the family and the nation and drags the reputation and integrity to the mud.
9Watch what God will see in your family and His attention will attracted. Righteousness must rule in your family. It must do what? RULE! M.U.S.T. God has always been the God of righteousness who is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity.
10Your wife must work towards it. Your children must work towards it. You as the head must enshrine it and make it a must and be ready to pay the price.
11Whatever it will take to attract God’s attention in your family is not a wasted effort. A wise man walks towards attracting God’s attention while a foolish fellow behaves in a way to repel God from his family.
This is because he has no need of God. He is comfortable with the devil.
The person does not know the privilege he is enjoying by God stepping into his family. That is why, when God departs from that family, He can never come back to that family again.
Let us check from the family of Saul, when it moved away from Saul’s dynasty, did it come back there again till today?
When the dynasty moved out of Levi’s family through Moses, did it come back there again? Rather it went to the house of Jesse [Judah].
Assuming the sons of Jesse misbehaved themselves, will that throne be an everlasting throne till today? Never!
It will never be. It would have been taken away and moved to another place altogether. That is the consequence of repelling God’s attention from your family.
Finally, from page 104 verse 6 through 7. 6Anybody who is having joy when he is living in naked unbelief and also manifesting it, is a self-deceived fool. WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE TO BE GODLY IF NOT YOUR OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WORDS?
7WHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS CORDIAL BECAUSE OF YOUR OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORD, YOU ARE WALKING TOGETHER WITH GOD ON A JOURNEY.
You are a partner with Him.
You are a partner with God. From this now, there is no way in which we can please God again if not through obedience to Him.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A CORDIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, YOU MUST OBEY HIM FIRST OF ALL.
Brethren on this note, I say thank you and remain blessed in Him eternally.
