WHAT THEN IS THE BASIS FOR YOUR UNBELIEF? VOL 2

PREACHED ON SUNDAY, 23RD AUGUST 2020 AT THE BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA. BY APOSTLE PETER  DOEMENA THE SON OF MAN The justifier

...Unbelief brings God’s wrath, anger, judgment upon the unbeliever. Is there anything good in unbelief? There is no gain or value in unbelief. The only thing an unbeliever gains from unbelief is God’s wrath, anger and judgment. Brethren, to stay away from unbelief is to accept, acknowledge and allow the Word to have a resting place and an overriding influence or control over your life.

AN UNBELIEVER HARDENS THE HEARTS OF FELLOW UNBELIEVERS

Watch what is happening. Their children, Peter, James, John, all of them were there. They were youngsters. They were watching the drama between the man and their people.

Unbelief is a very big sickness and an unbeliever is hot tempered. An unbeliever is an evil man in human form; the devil in human form. Very impatient!

Now watch! “Show us a sign.” And He knew the sign they were looking for. He manifested everything, but He did not manifest the Pillar of Cloud or Rainbow around Him. He kept it to Himself, for that was what they knew Moses for.

“Since you said Moses saw you, saw your day, and prophesied about you, show us the evidence. When Moses left with The Cloud, God pointed us to Joshua. When Joshua came, The Cloud convinced us, for the same Cloud that surrounded Moses, surrounded Joshua.”

Now you have come, claiming to be the offshoot of Moses and the offshoot of Joshua. Show us a sign. Until we see it, you are making a false claim.”

He said, “Okay, no problem. I will show you a sign. You will see no other sign than the sign of Jonas.”

They said, “What?” He went further, “When you will kill THE SON OF MAN, you will know that I am He.” They said, “Okay. Your doom has come. Your doom has come, for you are a mere man and maketh yourself God. By our law, you must die.”

The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. [John 10:33 KJV]

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. [John 19:7 KJV]

“What a blasphemy! Yahweh will never accept. We are Jews. We have only but one God. Our father Abraham introduced us to Him. Moses pointed us to Him. Joshua pointed us to Him. And then you come here, look at, how old are you? Can you imagine?”

He said, “Okay. Oh, you knew about Abraham equally? Okay, before Abraham, I was.” “Heeee! How old are you? Men and brethren of Israel, are you keeping quiet? You are still watching this boy transgressing, humiliating, and desecrating. He desecrated our temple.” Amen.

“He desecrated our temple. He spoke great blasphemy even before us. He respected no elder. He flogged all of them. Look at what he is saying. Are you keeping quiet? Before Abraham, this boy said that he existed.”

“How old is he? Who was his father? Oh no, no, no. Quickly! Everybody should help. We will stone him to death.”

51I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” 52At this the Jews exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death. 53Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”

54Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. 55Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word. 56Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”

57″You are not yet fifty years old,” the Jews said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”

58″I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. [John 8:52 – 59 NIV]

The Jews said, “Okay, you know what we will do? We will obtain permission from Pilate because Romans are in charge. If we do not get the authority of Rome and kill Him now, we will be in trouble. Let us take Him to the king and accuse Him of great blasphemy. And call Him a trouble shooter who is inciting riot. Let us accuse Him.”

Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. [John 11:53 KJV]

Then they arrested Him. The Jews were the people that arrested and carried Him to the Roman authority. When they got there, Pilate adjudged Him not guilty. And sent Him to Herod, Herod adjudged Him not guilty, and sent Him back.

Pilate said, “O men and women of Israel, Jews, do you want to kill your King?” They said, “No. He is not our king.”

Then said Pilate, “From all the trials, evidences, submissions, there is nothing we saw in him that warrants killing him. So we can never declare him guilty. But you said you want to kill your king.”

6On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. 7When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. ……. 11Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate. ……. 13Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, 14and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him. 15Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. [Luke 23: 6 – 7, 11, 13 – 15 NIV]

The Jews retorted, “Don’t mention our king. He is his own king. He said he is our king and we are saying no. Is it by force that this boy will rule over us? Will he be king over us by force? How old is he?

Check the records. Has kingship ever come from Bethlehem, Judea? No, no, no. We will not tolerate this. Pilate, you say he is not guilty? Okay. You said he is our king. We said he is not our king.”

15But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. 16Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. [John 19:15 – 16 KJV]

Pilate then said, “Okay. Now is your Passover, you have it as your law. Every Passover, at least a prisoner shall be set free.”

“Before my throne of judgment is a notable criminal caught in the act. There are other ones, look at another one there. A notable criminal also. Now, see Jesus who you brought and said he committed a heinous crime. Who do you want me to release from among them?”

They said, “What? Are you still asking? Can’t you hear us? Have you not been hearing the trouble we are facing since this boy appeared? This boy came back from Egypt. His mother brought him back from Egypt, very controversial boy. What is happening? You are keeping quiet. We can never live in peace as long as this boy is alive.”

“Release Barabbas, we can cope with a robber. We can easily cope with a robber but to cope with this man? No, no, no.”

18With one voice they cried out, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” 19(Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.) [Luke 23:18 – 19 NIV]

He said, “Okay. Now, you know what will happen? He is your townsman. He is your townsman. I have told you, permit me to write something. You brought your cross, as is your custom, to crucify.”

He wrote there, “N.R.I.” They interpreted it in their own language, meaning “KING OF THE JEWS.”

They said, “Pilate no, no, no! Write down, “He said he is the king of the Jews’.”

Pilate said, “what I have written, I have written. I cannot erase it.” Now, be it known unto you Jews that my hands are clean from his blood. Take him, if you want to kill him, he is your blood, he is your brother, he is your relation. Go and do as you will.”

19Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.” 22Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” [John 19:19 – 22 NIV]

They said, “Live forever oh judge, oh Pilate. Now we know you are an able representative.” They had already threatened to report him to Caesar who is the overall in Rome, if he would release Jesus.

12From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.” [John 19:12 NIV]

For fear of being reported to Caesar, in order to please the Jews, being the governor in a Jewish land, he subscribed to their pleas. Handed him over. He said, “Be it known that the blood is not upon me.” They said, “Let the blood be upon us, our children, our children’s children forever, provided you hand him over.”

24When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” 25All the people answered, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!” 26Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. [Matthew 27: 24 – 26 NIV]

Immediately he handed him over to them, they started chanting war songs angrily. “What do we do to him?” They said, “Crucify him.”

Remember they were the people that saw him riding on an ass when he made the triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and they used palm fronds and their clothes to lay on the ground for him to match.

8A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!” [Matthew 21:8 – 9 NIV]

But a few days after, the same people who said “hosanna to him that cometh in the name of the Lord, to the Son of David.”

They came and Pilate asked, “What do you want me to do to this man Jesus?” They replied, “He must die, crucify him. He must be killed.” Amen!

DID THEY THINK TRUTH CAN BE BURIED BY KILLING ONE THAT STANDS FOR THE TRUTH?

Remember, Pilate was trying to be something before him. Pilate said, “Can’t you talk? Can’t you hear all the allegations leveled against you by your people? Am I the one alleging them? Defend yourself! Speak! Don’t you know I have the power to set you free? I have the power to order you to be executed.”

He retorted, “Pilate, shut up your mouth! You have no power except if it is given to you by my Father Who is in heaven. I tell you the truth.”

Pilate asked, “What is the truth?” Then he replied, “I am the Truth, the Way and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me.”

Pilate said, “Okay. Enough is enough. I am tired of this controversial boy. Away with him.” Amen!

8When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10″Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”

11Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore, the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.” ……. 16Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. [John 19:8 – 11, 16 NIV]

This was the man, because of whom Peter cut off somebody’s ear. He picked the ear and placed it back.

The same Peter was introduced to him with great signs, demonstrations, at the bank of the river, including James and John, before witnesses.

“Peter, you led them amidst everything, and demonstrated the power that is in the Gospel. You proved everything. Peter I told you, that you were doing all those things as an eye service.

You were not yet rooted and grounded. And I picked you as the oldest among these boys, that you will understand me; and that you will help me to get them to understand me. Peter you are failing me.”

Before the D-day, Peter denied him three times at a stretch. And sealed it with an oath, “May God punish me if I know this man.” The master becomes this man. The Lord becomes this man.

69Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said. 70But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.

71Then he went out to the gateway, where another girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72He denied it again, with an oath: “I DON’T KNOW THE MAN!”

73After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you away.” 74Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, “I DON’T KNOW THE MAN!” [Matthew 26: 69 – 74 NIV]

As it has happened in this Faith of THE SON OF MAN. All that were calling Him, Lord and falling prostrate on the floor; Okey Nwamkpa, Nnamdi Ogbogu, Bon Diuka, and their wives;

Those that were placing their wrapper on the ground, singing, “The Redeemer has come. The Redeemer has come.”; those that were pushing people, including Ben Adiukwu, Martin Orji, Watson Fihala and the rest of them; Where are they?

Steven Nwufo, who nearly killed people while pushing. Ignatius Anonye and all of them. Where are they?

BRETHREN, IT IS NOT HIM THAT WILLETH; IT IS NOT HE THAT RUNNETH, BUT GOD THAT SHOWETH MERCY.

Where are they? They left that it might be proved and believed that from the beginning, they were not a part of us. How can somebody deny something he saw with his eyes, believed, confessed, preached, demonstrated, and then draw back?

Pay attention. Was Peter not the one that queried them, “Why troubling the Gentiles?” And that was when some people drawn from among them went troubling the Gentiles saying, if they must be saved, they must obey Jewish laws.

Peter said, “Why troubling them? When I went to the house of Cornelius, did I circumcise him and his family, and all that came there? Holy Ghost came upon them as he came upon us from the very beginning. Was it because they obeyed the Jewish laws? The Holy Ghost came because they obeyed the gospel we gave to them. The Gospel of Christ.” Amen!

44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

46For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. 47Then Peter said, “Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 48So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days. [Acts 10:44 – 48 NIV]

Saint Paul met them and said, “How do you start with Christ and now end in the law? God forbid! Who has bewitched you that you should not continue in the doctrine you have received, knowing the source and that I never preached with my mouth alone.

1You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? 3Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? [Galatians 3:1 – 3 NIV]

I preached with the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 1:6 Amplified version of the Bible. 6So when they were assembled, they asked Him, Lord, is this the time when You will reestablish the kingdom and restore it to Israel?

Amen. They were looking for political appointments which started with James and John. Look, their fathers were asking political questions. Now, look at their sons even when Jesus Christ had already come back to life; resurrected from the dead.

After 40 days and 40 nights, they were anxious of that same question, “Has the hour come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel and then stop the ruling of the Roman Empire over us?”

A question which had no relevance with the matter that is being discussed. Peter, were you not the one that said, “How can we leave you? To whom do we go to? Seeing that you alone have the Word of eternal life and we are sure and certain.”

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 6:68 – 69 KJV]

Peter, is this the way you are going to strengthen your brethren? Peter, who was adjudged to be the chiefest of the apostles, by age and by everything, and who was there from the very official beginning? Yet, he was not converted.

He became a devil and God said in the person of Jesus Christ, “Peter, the devil wanted to spoil you but I prayed for you that your faith fail not. Peter, anytime you are converted, strengthen your brethren.”

31And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. [Luke 22:31 – 32 KJV]

Can you imagine? If Peter was not converted, how can one who was not converted strengthen the unconverted? He then strengthened them in unconverted heart. For what he had, he solidified.

THAT IS WHY, IT TAKES AN UNBELIEVER IN THE FAITH TO HARDEN THE HEART OF FELLOW UNBELIEVERS. IF YOU ARE AN UNBELIEVER AND A HYPOCRITE, IT TAKES ANOTHER UNBELIEVER AMONG YOU TO BE YOUR EXAMPLE.

THAT IS WHY, YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT AN ELDER WHO IS AN ELDER BECAUSE HE WAS IN THE OFFICIAL BEGINNING OR WHO HAS STAYED LONG. YET, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN HIS LIFE.

He is in our midst politically, struggling for office. He is in our midst because of what he will gain. He is in our midst because of money, because of his belly [stomach], to pay his rent, become popular, solve his problem and train his children.

I mean, I think I am making sense. Watch such people. They do not stay long because they have no tap root. Did you get the message?

When they go to the pulpit, they do not preach because they know this truth or because they believe it. They preach to impress their hearers so that they will be notable preachers, popular, carrying their bags, and be prominent among the brethren.

So it takes an unbeliever, a make-believer, a hypocrite, to harden the heart of his colleagues. His colleagues. Yes! Amen!

If you go to the Holy Quran, it said such people [unbelievers], when the Message of Allah will go forth, they will say they believe;

But when they go out, they meet with their folks, they will be saying, “How can we take them serious when they are merely telling the stories of the ancient. Do not mind them. Who can take this nonsense? Leave the thing. Let us go. Let us go and live our lives.”

13And when it is said to them (hypocrites): “Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad Peace be upon him) have believed,” they say: “Shall we believe as the fools have believed?” Verily, they are the fools, but they know not.

14And when they meet those who believe, they say: “We believe,” but when they are alone with their Shayâtin (devils — polytheists, hypocrites, etc.), they say: “Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking.” 15God mocks at them and gives them increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly.

16These are they who have purchased error for guidance, so their commerce was profitless. And they were not guided. [Surah 2:13 – 16 Hilali-Khan Translation]

The Qur’an said, “Allah had already given them to the spirit of error. He will guide them straight to hell fire, where they will meet supreme shame, supreme disappointment, and supreme disgrace.” Amen! Hallelujah!

62To you they swear by Allah. In order to please you: But it is more fitting that they should please Allah and His Messenger, if they are Believers. 63Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, is the Fire of Hell?- wherein they shall dwell. That is the supreme disgrace. [Surah 9:62 – 63 Abdullah Yusuf Ali Translation]

……God has made it impossible for people to know Him by means of their own wisdom. Hence with your own wisdom, you can never know God. How do you know God? Do you know God by your own wisdom? If there is any God you can identify by your own wisdom, that is the devil. That God can never be the Almighty God.

THE SON OF MAN HAS APPEARED TO DESTROY ALL THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL

Are you with Me at all? Are you with Me? I want to hand over to the Evangelist, but let Me be number one. Hallelujah. I am riding the trail for you, for I promised that if I see unbelief continuing, I will take My family home to fellowship with them, prepare them, get them grounded and rooted, and show them infallible proofs, unquestionable evidences, and series of demonstrations. Hallelujah!

That is where then they can be firmly established and then, God will transform them by their Faith which is immovable and unshakeable. Hallelujah!

Acts 1:7 Amplified. 7He said to them, It is not for you to become acquainted with and know what time…

Can you imagine? Look at the reply He gave them which disappointed them? “What? If we are not supposed to know about it, even about the time, why then are we following you?”

Watch their fathers. Their fathers said, “Oh! Is your coming to increase our troubles and our hardship with the Romans as Moses did also before, for when Moses came to deliver us, he increased our hardship in Egypt.

We crossed the Red Sea. We thought we were going home, but he encamped us in the wilderness. Our trouble also increased until we were desiring to go back.

If not for God, He would have killed all of us in the wilderness. This boy has come again. Look! Everybody should be careful about this boy.”

Peter was muttering. You know Peter is an old man. Watch the encounter when he led them back to the sea to go a fishing instead of going to fish for human beings as instructed. He took them back to the world. It took John to sight the man.

The Bible said, “Peter could not recognize the master again. It took John whom He loved to say, “This is the man.” When they came out empty-handed, He gave them breakfast and was looking at them, calling them boys, children, for he appeared now as the Ancient of Days, which He is and no longer as a young boy, as their fathers regarded him.

He now appeared with grey hair. He called them “boys”. He called them children. Then when he gave them bread and also gave them fish in his own fashion and in his own way of doing things.

The Bible said, John hissed it to Peter, “This is the Lord. It is the Lord. It is the Lord.” Can you imagine? This means that Peter was not even sure. It took John to say, “He is the Lord. It is the Lord.” And the Lord did not say “I am He.”

[2]A group of us were there—Simon Peter, Thomas, “The Twin,” Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, my brother James and I and two other disciples. [3]Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” “We’ll come too,” we all said. We did, but caught nothing all night.

[4]At dawn we saw a man standing on the beach but couldn’t see who he was. [5]He called, “ANY FISH, BOYS?” “No,” we replied. [6]Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get plenty of them!” So we did, and couldn’t draw in the net because of the weight of the fish, there were so many!

[7]Then I said to Peter, “IT IS THE LORD!” At that, Simon Peter put on his tunic (for he was stripped to the waist) and jumped into the water and swam ashore.* [8]The rest of us stayed in the boat and pulled the loaded net to the beach, about 300 feet away.

[9]When we got there, we saw that a fire was kindled and fish were frying over it, and there was bread. [10]“Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus said. [11]So Simon Peter went out and dragged the net ashore. By his count there were 153 large fish; and yet the net hadn’t torn.

[12]“NOW COME AND HAVE SOME BREAKFAST!” Jesus said; and none of us dared ask him if he really was the Lord, for we were quite sure of it. [13]THEN JESUS WENT AROUND SERVING US THE BREAD AND FISH. [John 21:2-13]

He shook his head. He shook his head. He was not in doubt because, he took Peter, James and John to join him to go and pray when he was being troubled by what faced him. After praying he came back and he met three of them sleeping.

He woke them up, “Gentlemen why? I thought you have been praying with me?” A second time, he went to pray. He came out and met them snoring again. He said, “Gentlemen, can’t you tarry with me in prayers for at least one hour?”

He went third time, came back, met them snoring. He woke them up and said, “You can now sleep on. Now is your time and hour of darkness. And because you do not want to watch and pray so that you do not enter into temptation, I assure you most solemnly, your enemies will encompass you round about at a time you least expect, and they will take many of you captive. Because of your inability to watch and pray, the devil will take you unawares and will take you to second captivity where there will be no redemption.” Amen! Hallelujah!

[40]Then he returned to the three disciples and found them asleep. “Peter,” he called, “couldn’t you even stay awake with me one hour?

[41]KEEP ALERT AND PRAY. OTHERWISE TEMPTATION WILL OVERPOWER YOU. For the spirit indeed is willing, but how weak the body is!” [42]Again he left them and prayed, “My Father! If this cup cannot go away until I drink it all, your will be done.”

[43]He returned to them again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, [44]so he went back to prayer the third time, saying the same things again.

[45]Then he came to the disciples and said, “Sleep on now and take your rest . . . but no! The time has come! I am betrayed into the hands of evil men! [Matthew 26:40 – 45 LB]

Look at the command he gave them. Acts 1:7 Amplified version. 7He said to them, It is not for you to become acquainted with and know what time brings [the things and events of time and their definite periods] or fixed years and seasons (their critical niche in time), which the Father has appointed (fixed and reserved) by His own choice and authority and personal power.

Amen! Pay attention. Is it not what is causing many to backslide today? When they follow the Faith, they think translation will be next week.

When they hear, like Saint Paul said, “It is now at your doorstep. O, awake thou that sleepeth for the night is far spent. Your salvation is nearer to you now than when you first believed.”

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. [Romans 13:11 KJV]

51Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. [1 Corinthians 15:51 – 53 KJV]

They think it will happen the next minute. So, when they follow a little and they could not get it, they will go back to their former association.

Why? They never believed all those convincing evidences. All those demonstrations could not even help them. Why? They were not a part of God; and God was not a part of them. Did you get the Message?

Look at the way God cleverly dismissed that useless question. “I am surprised that even now that I am about to go away and I have revealed it to you, you are still asking me a political question.”

Maybe, being twelve in number because Mathias replaced Judas, they now calculated that each will be a governor over one tribe of Israel. Political appointment.

Maybe Peter will be the Head of State or President. Yes! Watch that question. Can Israel be restored back to a nation without appointing governors over each tribe? There must be governors. There must be a president. That was why, they were asking.

Why do you want to know the day the Lord has fixed to translate the Saints? I have the date on the palms of My hands.

We read it even here. Can I know the title of that Message we read last? In that Message, He said, “It is in My palms here.” THE UNRECOGNIZED MESSIAH. Thank you very much. I have it in My palms right now, but it is not for you to know.

If I do not have it, what is the essence of these vindications, authentications, demonstrations, infallible proofs, and unquestionable evidences that the Father and the Son are one?

If the Father and the Son are One, and it is a secret kept only by the Father, and the Father is dwelling in the Son, the Son of His pleasure; And only Him shall you hear in all matters, for He is the Beloved Son of God, in whom He is well pleased, Hear ye Him.

And I am here doing My Father’s will, for He that sent Me has never left Me and will never leave Me, for I am still doing those things that please Him.

If I do not have the date, why is He in Me? Why is He speaking to you through Me? Why did He say, “In Me shall all the Gentiles pin their hope?”

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. [Isaiah 11:10 KJV]

And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. [Romans 15:12 KJV]

In My proclamation, in My teaching, in My doctrine, in My everything, that is where you pin your hope. Is it not true?

This is because they are peeping into it, which is not their right. When they mill around THE SON OF MAN, they carry their handset; they want to record; they want to hear, “It is tomorrow.” They want to hear, “It is next year.” If I make a statement, they give it another interpretation.

I said, “The worst will be 2020.” They say, “If by 2020, it does not happen, I will go back. I will go and look for my destiny.”

Where were you before THE SON OF MAN appeared? Before THE SON OF MAN appeared with the Message of salvation, where were you? What did you achieve? That goes to show that you are not tired of staying in the hand of the devil.

The captivity He promised to bring you out from is the captivity in the hand of the devil, for that is the reason why THE SON OF MAN appeared to destroy all the works of the devil; to release those that are held captive and to set the sinners free. If the Son of Man shall set you free, you shall be free indeed.

I can heal you of physical blindness, but if I do not heal you of spiritual blindness, you perish. That is why when he came, he gave them earthly food, and they were milling around him because of that; Free food, free drink.

He now said, “Do not scramble and struggle, to get the food which you will eat and perish from my hand, but there is One coming after Me, THE SON OF MAN, the Judge of the whole earth, with full and complete salvation. He is coming with the full bread. The shew bread. He is coming with the food, which whosoever that will eat of it, will live eternally.

Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. [John 6:27 KJV]

Scramble for that food for Him alone has the Father sealed and sent.” The sole signatory. Hallelujah. To God be the Glory.

Look at that silly political question. And they want to pry into something that does not belong to them.

This is the greatest secret which even the wife of THE SON OF MAN will never know. None of His sons will know it until the appointed day.

He may not even tell them, “This is the day.” He can only give them a command, “Go and wait for Me there.”

Hear Me well. Those who are lazy, and who find it difficult to obey quickly and quietly obey, will miss it. It is going to be in a very low tone. Just in a simple way, “Go there, I am coming. Make sure you are there before 10 o’clock. I am coming.” That is all. Simple instruction.

The disobedient, the sluggard, will miss it. And the moment He gets there, it does not wait a second. It will strike.

It is just like when you see the [tv] drama, where spirit will hide in the air, waiting for somebody he is waiting for. The moment the person approaches that zone, the spirit appears and strikes.

He was waiting for Saul of Tarsus on the way to Damascus. Is it not true? He waited there. Immediately they arrived there, He thundered. True or false?

12″On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions.

14We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ 15″Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’

16″‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you. [Acts 26:12 – 16 NIV]

Hallelujah. Are you following at all? Get hooked up. Forget the past. Look at today. We are serving an ever present God. The bone can rise today. I mean, the dry bone can regain flesh today. Amen!

It was this political question that discouraged them when he never gave them the answer that suited their desire. They wanted to know the fixed date.

Now that he is going away, they wanted to know what will be their position and what will be their fate? Look at what he told them. He told them something.

Acts 1:8 – 9 Amplified version. 8But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. Amen!

9And when He had said this, even as they were looking [at Him], He was caught up, and a cloud received and carried Him away out of their sight. Hallelujah!

Immediately it happened, they got disappointed; “What inheritance have we again? Oh! We were expecting this man to set us free from Roman captivity. We were expecting this man to establish the Kingdom of Israel He promised.”

“And now he has left, what has he achieved? He talked about immortality and eternal life. Yet, we are still dying; Caskets everywhere; Graves everywhere; Sickness everywhere; Hospital everywhere.”

Peter will say, “Our faith in this man has ruined us. Gentlemen, let us go back to our homes. We are disappointed. Our faith in him has ruined us.”

They went back to their former association. They never carried out this assignment. If the assignment was carried out, I would not be here now.

I remain the only one commissioned from the presence of the Almighty who remained steadfast with His commission until I have carried this Message through all the four corners of the earth in all languages and in all tongues, with convincing demonstrations, unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs of the deity dwelling in Me.

Song: [Now I know that the Son of Man and the Father are one.]

IT MUST TAKE ZEAL AND KNOWLEDGE

Listen to Me once again. I want to show you something. Follow Me with that same Amplified and Living Bible. Bring Living Bible. Galatians 2:17-18.

You will see when Peter went back to his former association. It behooved on God, seeing that Peter had abandoned the church. God knew he would abandon it. He will abandon the faith and God now raised somebody who had zeal without knowledge.

Peter had knowledge without zeal, but Paul had the zeal to protect the Jewish religion. Hence, he was killing and attacking people.

He even obtained permission to go to Damascus, capital of Syria to arrest, detain and to kill people that were teaching contrary to the laws of Moses; contrary to Judaism.

On his way, the Lord waited for a man who had such a zeal but without knowledge. For anybody God will use, God will teach him.

For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. [Romans 10:2 KJV]

God decided to wait for him. When he waited for him, he was not alone. The rest of the people who were working with him to go and do the arrest, they heard thunder but Paul heard a voice.

“Saul, Saul, why persecutesth thou me?” He said, “who art thou My Lord?” The Voice said, “I am the Lord Jesus Christ whom thou persecutest.” He [Paul] fell flat.

He woke him up and said, “Go to Ananias there, who will tell you all you will do, for this day, I have anointed you with My anointing. I have anointed you with My power. I have anointed you with My spirit. Preach My word. Fear them not. They will attack you, but I will be with you. I will reveal to you things that are yet to come. I will guide you and I will show you what you will suffer in the hands of those who believed me before but now, have joined their former association. Hypocrites! Make-believers. Go to Ananias.”

Saint Paul said that he went there to the man who tutored Paul. He [Paul] said, “Immediately scales fell out of my eyes.” He was blind spiritually, pursuing the course of the Jewish laws, not knowing he was wrong.

No wonder he made the confession that he did it out of ignorance. The Bible said in the book of Hosea, “My people perish because of ignorance of the Scriptures.” Is it not true?

MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. [Hosea 4:6 KJV]

The Lord Jesus said, “You err, not knowing the scriptures and the power of God. Amen!

…DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO PLACE A SEAL ON A DOCUMENT? ONCE A SEAL IS PLACED ON A DOCUMENT, IT BECOMES AN IRREVOCABLE DOCUMENT, ACCEPTABLE WORLDWIDE. YOU SEE, WE HAVE GOD’S SEAL OF OWNERSHIP. PUBLISH IT WIDE THAT WE ARE THE REDEEMED OF THIS GENERATION. WE ARE NOT BOASTING. WE ARE NOT SAYING THAT FOR PEOPLE TO CLAP HANDS FOR US. WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT CANNOT ADD, IT CANNOT SUBTRACT. WE HAVE GONE BEYOND FAITH. THE SAME WAY, WE HAVE GONE BEYOND HOPE. HOPE MEANS HOPING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS YET TO COME. WHILE FAITH MEANS BELIEVING IN SOMETHING YOU HAVE NOT SEEN. WE STARTED WITH FAITH AND THEN ESTABLISHED HOPE. WE HAVE SEEN THE REALITY. SOMETHING I AM SEEING WITH MY EYES, IS IT FAITH? WE HAVE CROSSED FAITH. FAITH MAKES CHRIST REAL, FOR WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD, FOR HE THAT WILL COME TO GOD MUST FIRST OF ALL BELIEVE THAT HE EXISTS.

GOD HAS BOUND HIMSELF  WITH AN OATH

Let Me take you to Galatians 2:17-18. Living Bible. 17But what if we trust Christ to save us and then, find that we are wrong and that we cannot be saved, without being circumcised and obeying all the other Jewish laws? Wouldn’t we need to say that faith in Christ had ruined us?

GOD FORBID THAT ANYONE SHOULD DARE TO THINK SUCH THINGS ABOUT OUR LORD. 

18Rather, we are sinners if we start rebuilding the old systems I have been destroying of trying to be saved by keeping Jewish laws,

19for it was through reading the Scripture… You see why the Bible said study to yourself approved unto God as a workman that need not to be ashamed, but rightly dividing the Word of truth.

Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. [2 Timothy 2:15 KJV]

What if you are lazy in turning the pages of the Scriptures and in turning the pages of the Sermon Books? Tell Me how you can be firmly established in the truth. Amen!

This was what Peter could not do, and he was not convinced, for he drew back and led others into that dissimulation. Hypocrisy. Look at what he did.

19for it was through reading the Scriptures that I came to realize that I could never find God’s favour by trying—and failing—to obey the laws. I CAME TO REALIZE THAT ACCEPTANCE WITH GOD COMES BY BELIEVING IN CHRIST. Amen!

Was it not Peter that told them in the house of Cornelius, “Why laying such a burden of the Jewish laws upon the believers which neither we nor our fathers could obey? Why taking people to this impossible road?”

10Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? 11No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.” [Acts 15:10 – 11 NIV]

Was he not the one that said Christ had delivered us from this impossible road to heaven? Is it not Peter?

[18]God paid a ransom to save you from the impossible road to heaven which your fathers tried to take, and the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver as you very well know. [1 Peter 1:18 LB]

Why did he go back now to the Jews and incited the Jews against Saint Paul by telling them Saint Paul was teaching in Saudi Arabia where he was sent to?

Immediately Paul was converted, scales fell out of his eyes. What happened? Straight away without conferring with flesh and blood he went to Arabia.

15But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, 16to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. [Galatians 1:15 – 17 KJV]

He was bearing the Name of God, for God said, “My name is upon him. And I will show him things that are yet to come and what he will suffer for the sake of this Gospel.”

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: for I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake. [Acts 9:15 – 16 KJV]

He sent him to Saudi Arabia. Throughout his stay in Saudi Arabia, nobody persecuted him. What do you think he was teaching them? He was preaching the same Christ. He was preaching Islam. I say Islamic monotheism. Pure truth!

He was preaching that God is One and His Name one. One Spirit, One Body, One Baptism, everything One. Maybe you do not know that Islam believes in the baptism of Moses in the Red Sea. They believe in the baptism of Joshua in the River Jordan. Amen!

136Say ye: “We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma´il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam).”

137So if they believe as ye believe, they are indeed on the right path; but if they turn back, it is they who are in schism; but Allah will suffice thee as against them, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

138(Our religion is) the Colour of Allah: And who can baptize better than Allah. And it is He Whom we worship. [Surah 2:136 – 138 Abdullah Yusuf Ali Translation.]

But where they missed it was that they lost connection from Jesus the Christ. They could not see him as God-Man. They could not see him from that perception.

Neither could they take the Prophet Muhammad serious, for they could see him as a mere prophet. Not as a God-Man. Amen!

Watch! What did Peter do? When he incited the Jews by compromising with them, he denied the Faith. Saint Paul later went to Jerusalem with Timothy.

What happened there? Peter caused riot by arranging for Paul to be arrested and killed. He arranged for a turtle dove and told Paul to go and render a sacrifice for sin according to the Jewish tradition, and that the Jews have heard that he has entered the City of Jerusalem.

When he accepted, Peter then said, “When you go there, I have prepared people who will shave their hair. They will shave off all the hair on your head according to the Jewish demand. Put your turtle dove among their own. Stay there with them for seven days for purification.”

James also substantiated it. John substantiated it. Can you imagine? Nonsense!

21They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs.

22What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come, 23so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow.

24Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everybody will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law. [Acts 21: 21 – 24 NIV]

Then, on the day of the final purification, persecution arose against him. They nearly killed him. They even circumcised the Evangelist, Timothy. A young man who went with him. They said he is a Gentile.

They said, “He not only transgressed by teaching contrary to the laws of the Jews among the Gentiles, ridiculing our faith. He also brought a Gentile into our temple, thereby defiling the temple of God by bringing in a heathen.”

Timothy was regarded as a defilement. I want you to see the extent Peter compromised. All of them.

“The seven days were almost ended when some Jews from Turkey saw him in the Temple and roused a mob against him. They grabbed him, yelling, Men of Israel! Help! Help! This is the man who preaches against our people and tells everybody to disobey the Jewish laws. He even talks against the Temple and defiles it by bringing Gentiles in!” [Acts 21:27 LB]

Barnabas joined John Mark in Cyprus to do business and there they perched. He said Demas left him and then entered into the world.

All of them left. Philetus, Hymaneus, Alexander, all left. Alexander the copper smith withstood his message. Hence he said, “May God punish him.”

36And some days after, Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do. 37And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. 38But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. 39And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; [Acts 15:36 – 39 KJV]

16But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus; who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. [2 Timothy 2:16 – 18 KJV]

9Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 10for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. …….

14Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 15of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. [2 Timothy 4:9 – 11, 14 – 15 KJV]

He said, “Only Luke, Timothy, Silvanus, Silas and the young men are with me.” Then they moved on to Pamphylia.

Without St Paul and his few boys, nobody could have heard the name of Jesus Christ among the Gentiles. Amen!

But he could not accomplish the work because he was not the Archangel vested with the authority to come in the end time with the everlasting Gospel that will go round the whole globe. A man of God can never go beyond his commission. Amen! Where are we brethren? Look at what he was doing to people that believed and remained steadfast.

IT TAKES ONE THAT IS BACKSLIDDEN TO FIND FAULT WITH YOU. IT TAKES ONE THAT WAS BACKSLIDDEN TO LURE YOU OUT OF THE FAITH.

That is why, when you are regarding his age; “He is an elder; He has grey hair; He has been following THE SON OF MAN about for a long time; There is no secret of THE SON OF MAN he does not know”, you are completely lost.

One day, you will follow Peter, for Peter was there as number one. You will follow James or you will follow John.

Remember, it was St Paul that met them in Galatia. When you read Galatians Chapter 1, Peter was eating with the Gentiles; feasting with them together with James and Barnabas.

Paul met them. Immediately they sighted Paul, they started withdrawing. Paul said, “Peter, why are you behaving hypocritically before the Gentiles? Are you now denying our Faith? Don’t you know what the Faith said again? Oh No! Peter, I am disappointed.”

He said, “I withstood Peter. I spoke to Peter in his face, for he was not honest with what he was believing. For when he saw me coming, he started withdrawing from eating with the Gentiles.” Then Barnabas and James joined in the same dissimulation.

11But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. 13And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. [Galatians 2:11 – 13 KJV]

Living Bible said, “…in the same hypocrisy.” Hallelujah! [13]and then all the other Jewish Christians and even Barnabas became hypocrites too, following Peter’s example, though they certainly knew better. [Galatians 2:13]

So they were hypocrites from the very beginning and they never changed. Immediately, the master left them, they looked at the sky, they went home, only to tell people, “Our master has been taking by the clouds of heaven.”

Was there any desiring to go with him? Not even one. You can tell by the question they were asking.

It is just like the people that are still questioning THE SON OF MAN even now. Can you imagine somebody telling Me that the reason that he came into this Faith is to better his lot. If I create hardship for him, will he not go?

Maybe, he does not know that believing God means believing suffering. We are not only called to believe in Him, but to suffer with Him. If we suffer with Him, we shall reign with Him. Is it not true?

21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: [1 Peter 2:21 KJV]

11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12if we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: [2 Timothy 2:11 – 12 KJV]

All of us who have been with him from the very beginning and are holding on to the profession of our Faith without wavering till today, if we tell you all we have passed through from the beginning, it will take an Elect to believe us.

We have not found it too easy, but God has been our succour. God has been our succourer. He has been inspiring us, saving us and helping us. Amen!

But they want to reap where they did not sow. Is it not true? There must be exaltation after trial. He that will come to Him must be ready to suffer the loss of all things for Heaven’s sake. My priorities should be the most important things. Is it a lie?

7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [Philippians 3:7 – 8 KJV]

When you hold your life out, ready to lose your life for the gospel, tell me, what else can you not offer? Amen! Because you know what is awaiting you.

The sufferings of this present time are nothing to compare to the glory that awaits every true believer; every true seed of God, if you can hold on till the end.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. [Romans 8:18 KJV]

Song: [The sands have been washed in the footprints of the stranger on Galilee’s shore. And the voice that subdued the rough billows will be heard in Judea no more. But the path of that lone Galilean, with joy I will follow today;

And the toils of the road will seem nothing, when I get to the end of the way. And the toils of the road will seem nothing, when I get to the end of the way.]

Then concerning this all-important matter, St Paul said, “What if we believe in Christ revealed in our day as the Resurrected Body, according to the Scriptures, according to the Prophets and according to the Apostles; Who has come and demonstrated as we have never seen since the history of mankind, many series of convincing demonstrations; showed us unquestionable evidences; manifested before us infallible proofs of His deity. How can we escape if we neglect so great a Salvation He has come to give us?”

3how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? [Hebrews 2:3 – 4 KJV]

This is because the Bible said, “He has come with Salvation and healing in His wings.”

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings ; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [Malachi 4:2 KJV]

But for you who obey Me, My saving power will rise on you like the sun and bring healing like the sun’s rays. You will be free and happy as calves let out of a stall. [Malachi 4:2 GNB]

“Look unto Me all the ends of the earth, for I am The Lord, your Saviour; besides Me, there is no other. Amen!”

[22]Look to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. [Isaiah 45:22 AMP]

Turn with Me to the book of Hebrew, the original write-up. HEBREW: THAT IS THE LANGUAGE EVERYBODY WILL SPEAK.

Hebrew Chapter 6, verse 17 – 18. Living Bible. He has given both HIS PROMISE and HIS OATH… Who has given us? God! Who has given us? God! Amen!

The Almighty God Whom Peter thought we will be disappointed if we continue to believe in Him. Christ has given to us.

17God also bound Himself with an oath… Who bound Himself? Hallelujah!

If Caleb and Joshua could bind themselves by an oath before Rahab and they fulfilled it, what would you say about God?

[12-13]Now I beg for this one thing: Swear to me by the sacred name of your God that when Jericho is conquered you will let me live, along with my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all their families. This is only fair after the way I have helped you.” [14]The men agreed. “If you won’t betray us, we’ll see to it that you and your family aren’t harmed,” they promised. [Joshua 2:12 – 14]

He bound Himself with an oath to Abraham, He fulfilled it.

And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. [Genesis 18:10 KJV]

1And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. 2For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. 3And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. [Genesis 21:1 – 3 KJV]

He bound Himself with an oath before Noah and He fulfilled it.

17And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and everything that is in the earth shall die. 18But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee. [Genesis 6:17 – 18 KJV]

They did it to Lot. When Lot hesitated, they took Lot by the hand to make sure they led Lot to safety.

15And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. 16And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. [Genesis 19:15 – 16 KJV]

God also bound Himself with an oath so that those He promised to help would be perfectly sure and never live to wonder whether He might change His heart. Hallelujah!

God also bound Himself with an oath so that those He promised to help…Did He promise to help us?

Song: [Sometimes the Devil tempts me, And says it’s all in vain to try to live a godly life and walk in the Saviour’s name; But then we hear the Master say, “I’ll lend you a helping hand. And if you’ll only trust Me, I’ll guide you to the land.”

Then cheer, my brother, cheer. Our trials will soon be o’er. Our loved ones we shall meet, shall meet, Upon the golden shore. We’re pilgrims and we’re strangers here. We’re seeking a city to come. The lifeboat soon is coming to gather the Jewels home.]

Hebrews 6:17 18 Living Bible. God also bound Himself with an oath so that those He promised to help would be perfectly sure and never live to wander whether He might change His plans.

Can He change His plans? That is our strength. Hallelujah! My strength is constantly renewed by the power that is in the Word, for man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

31But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired. [Isaiah 40:31] AMP     

Eat the Word! Eat the Word!! Amen! It may be bitter in your mouth, but in your stomach, it will do you good.

 9So I went up to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said to me, Take it and eat it. It will embitter your stomach, though in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.

10So I took the little book from the angel’s hand and ate and swallowed it; it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but once I had swallowed it, my stomach was embittered.

11Then they said to me, You are to make a fresh prophecy concerning many peoples and races and nations and languages and kings. [Revelations 10:9-11] AMP

Has He promised to help us? “I will give you a comforter who will help you.

The Lord God has spoken, and His counsel must stand. This is His decision which He has taken after the counsel of His own will. And His counsel must stand, come what may! Amen!

Hallelujah! Hebrew Chapter 6. Start from verse 17 through 18. Living bible.

God also bound Himself with an oath.

Who can revoke it? The Bible said, “When He saw no other thing higher than Him, He used His Name.

13For when God made [His] promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom to swear [Hebrews 6:13] AMP

He used His Name, bound Himself to an oath. Brethren, by these two infallible evidences, it is impossible for God to mislead us; All of us are looking up to Him for Salvation; for safety!

God also bound Himself to an oath, so that those He promised to help would be perfectly sure, and never need to wonder whether He might change His plans.

He has given us both His promise and His oath: two things we can completely count on…

His promises in Him are ye and Amen! With His oath, He bound Himself, “Let it be an abomination if I will destroy the righteous in the midst of the wicked. Let it be an abomination unto Me if I will not honour those that honour Him.” And in His promises will stand.

SONG: [Standing on the promises of Christ my King, Through eternal ages let His praises ring, Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God.

Standing, standing, Standing on the promises of God my Saviour; Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God.] Hallelujah!

He has given us both His promise and His oath; two things we can completely count on, for it is impossible for God to tell a lie.

It is what? Impossible for God to tell a lie!

Now, all those who plead to Him to save them can take a new courage when they hear such assurances of Salvation.

When they hear what? Such assurances of Salvation! They can take what? A new courage! One whose heart has failed should get strengthened. A new revival! A new awakening! Halleluiah!

A new courage! If you are discouraged, today is your day. If you have been walking in fear, today is your day.

If you have been thinking you have no Helper, the Helper has come. The Helper has come! The promised Helper. The comforter!

Song: [The Comforter has come. The Comforter has come! The Holy Ghost from heaven. The Lord’s dear promise given. O spread the tidings round, wherever man is found— THE COMFORTER HAS COME!]

If you think you are walking without a Helper, the Helper is here, for without Him, we can do nothing.

Song: [Come walk with Me, the road is very dangerous. Come walk with Me, for I can’t walk alone, For the road is rough, and there are many dangers. Come walk with Me, and I will see you through.]

I KNOW VERY WELL THAT I AM GOD MADE VISIBLE IN HUMAN FORM. REMEMBER I WAS NOT ADDRESSING ONE MAN. I WAS ADDRESSING A LARGE CROWD, INNUMERABLE WITNESSES THAT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENQUIRE, TO INVESTIGATE, TO EVALUATE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THEY WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO FAULT ME, FAULT MY PREACHING. YOU SEE WHY THE SON OF MAN SAID, “CRITICIZE ME. IT IS YOUR RIGHT. CRITICIZE ME CONSTRUCTIVELY, DESTRUCTIVELY. IT IS YOUR RIGHT. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SUBSCRIBE TO MY FAITH UNTIL YOU ARE CONVINCED THAT I AM HE.” IT IS AN INDIVIDUAL CONVICTION AND IT IS A DIVINE OPERATION. CONVICTION IS DIVINE. YOU MUST BE SURE AND CERTAIN THAT THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE DEITY ARE TRACEABLE TO ME. MORESO, HIS MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHESY WHICH CAN NEVER FAIL (SELAH). YOU MUST BE SURE AND CERTAIN. YOU WOULD NOT SAY THAT SOMEBODY TOLD YOU.

GOD WATCHES OVER HIS WORD, BRINGING IT TO PASS

Hebrews 6:17 – 18. Living Bible. God also bound Himself to an oath, so that those He promised to help would be perfectly sure, and never need to wonder whether He might change His plans.

He has given us both His promise and His oath; two things we can completely count on for it is impossible for God to tell a lie.

NOW, ALL THOSE WHO PLEAD TO HIM TO SAVE THEM CAN TAKE A NEW COURAGE… Including you and I. …WHEN THEY HEAR SUCH ASSURANCES FROM GOD; From who? From God! From who? From God!

NOW, THEY CAN KNOW WITHOUT DOUBT THAT HE WILL GIVE THEM THE SALVATION HE HAS PROMISED THEM.

THIS CERTAIN HOPE OF BEING SAVED IS A STRONG AND TRUSTWORTHY ANCHOR.

SONG: In times like these, in times like these, we have an anchor. In times like these, in times like these, we have an anchor, I’m very sure; I’m very sure My anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!

This Rock is Christ, THE SON OF MAN. The Rock is Christ, THE SON OF MAN. Be very sure, I’m very sure, My anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!]

THIS CERTAIN HOPE OF BEING SAVED… C-E-R-T-A-I-N, Certain!

THIS CERTAIN HOPE OF BEING SAVED IS A STRONG AND TRUSTWORTHY ANCHOR FOR OUR SOULS, CONNECTING US WITH GOD HIMSELF…

Doing what? CONNECTING US WITH GOD HIMSELF! Doing what? CONNECTING US WITH GOD HIMSELF! Doing what? CONNECTING US WITH GOD HIMSELF!

There is a strong cord binding us with God that can never be broken. An everlasting tie. A Strong tie! Amen!

There is no Faith as plain as this Faith. There is no Faith as simple as this Faith. Plain! Plain! Plain! Plain! Plain! Amen! You will know the title when I want to come down.

This certain hope of being saved is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls, CONNECTING US WITH GOD HIMSELF BEHIND THE SACRED CURTAINS OF HEAVEN…

Behind what? The sacred curtains of Heaven! Behind what? The sacred curtains of Heaven! BEYOND THE CURTAIN OF TIME!

YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM HE WHEN I MUST HAVE EMPTIED YOU THAT HAVE BELIEVED IN ME INTO PARADISE, BEYOND THE CURTAIN OF THIS FLESH; THE CURTAIN OF TIME.

Did I not promise you? Beyond the curtain of time, a hand will lead Me. Beyond the sunshine, a hand will lead Me. Amen!

This certain hope of being saved is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls, connecting us with God Himself behind the sacred curtains of Heaven; where Christ has gone ahead to plead for us from His position as our high priest with the honour and rank of Melchizedek.

Hallelujah! Brethren! These infallible Words. Infallible proofs.

 Accordingly, God also IN HIS DESIRE TO SHOW MORE CONVINCINGLY…

To show what? More convincingly to the Elect and not to the world. More convincingly! Brethren, more and more evidences. Amen! I hope you are following. Are you happy? Are you happy?

WE ARE SERVING A LIVING GOD WHO IS STANDING BEHIND HIS PROMISES, FOR GOD WATCHES OVER HIS PROMISES BRINGING THEM TO PASS.

Why is it infallible? Why is it infallible? Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 12 says, “God watches over His Word, bringing it to fulfillment.” 

The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.”   [Jeremiah 1:12] NIV

He said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but the promises of God can never pass away without being fulfilled.”

11So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. [Isaiah 55:11 AMP]

“Although they delay, wait for them. Not any will over-delay by a single hour.”

[3]But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! [Habakkuk 2:3 LB]

A sure anchor! A solid anchor! Unshakeable! Why am I showing you these things? It is so that your faith will not be resting on mere words of men; but on the infallible Word of God where in you are established, sanctified, confirmed, vindicated, validated, approved, and for you to be partakers of eternal life.

Anything can fail but the promises of God can never fail. He that promised is more than able to able to keep to His Word.

Song: [Yes, I know whom I have believed. And I am persuaded that God is able to keep that which I’ve committed Unto Him against the day!]

12For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. [1 Timothy 1:12 KJV]

It is a wonderful experience to fellowship with God live and to be connected to God live. I say live.

Accordingly, GOD ALSO IN HIS DESIRE…Whose desire? God’s desire! The desire of God is what He is expressing. See His desire.

Accordingly, GOD ALSO, IN HIS DESIRE TO SHOW MORE CONVINCINGLY AND BEYOND DOUBT… Brethren why not put hands together?

NOBODY IS GOING TO BE LOST EXCEPT HE THAT IS DECLARED SERPENT SEED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN, THAT GOD CANNOT CONVINCE HIM BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT. SO NO MATTER WHAT GOD DOES, DOUBT IS STILL THERE.

Why was Peter not able to go on? It was because Peter came in when the Jews had been cut off. Peter was a minister to the Jews. And the Jews remained the old olive that was cut off that we might be grafted in.

The time for Peter’s redemption is coming nearer, for Peter will be redeemed as a Jew, and not as a Gentile. Peter does not require faith. He requires works.

IT IS MERE EXPRESSION OF THE FACE OF THE SON OF MAN TOWARDS THEM, AND ALL THE JEWS HAVE BEEN SAVED.

He has to work in the Gentiles. He has to work. And he has to teach. He has to convince them using many infallible signs and wonders, with which he brought the Gentiles to obedience.

Accordingly, God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt TO THOSE WHO WERE TO INHERIT THE PROMISE…

To those who are to inherit the promise! These are the only people that will believe beyond doubt, and these are the people that will inherit the promise.

Begin now to check your life. Check and cross-check your standpoint. Are you one of those? If you are, it then means there is no iota of doubt in you as to whether God will save you. It then means there is no iota of doubt, as to whether God will keep His promise.

The Book of Hebrews said, “We are no longer in doubt, as to whether God will save us or not.” Amen! A sure anchor.

[23]Now we can look forward to the salvation God has promised us. There is no longer any room for doubt, and we can tell others that salvation is ours, for there is no question that he will do what he says. [Hebrews 10:23 LB]

Accordingly, God also, in HIS DESIRE TO SHOW MORE CONVINCINGLY AND BEYOND DOUBT to those who were to inherit the promise, THE UNCHANGEABLENESS…

SONG: [Unchangeable God, Unchangeable God; Unchangeable God, Unchangeable God, Unchangeable God.]

The same yesterday, today and forever. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. NOTHING CAN BE TRUER THAN THE TRUTH. AMEN!

TRUTH HAS NO SUBSTITUTE. IF TRUTH WILL DISAPPOINT YOU, WHAT WILL FALSEHOOD DO? IF GOD WILL DESTROY YOU FOR BELIEVING THE TRUTH, WHAT WILL THE DEVIL DO?

Many might be wishing when they will hear this voice that they were here. They will wish that they had been a part of this, witnessing, and even being partakers.

Accordingly, God also, in HIS DESIRE TO SHOW MORE CONVINCINGLY AND BEYOND DOUBT to those who were to inherit the promise, THE UNCHANGEABLENESS OF HIS PURPOSE AND PLAN…

The desire of God to shown more convincingly His purpose and plan which He purposed and planned himself before the world began, and after the counsel of his own will, that in this dispensation, you and I will be included in the handpicked minority, and that this family will be the home of The God-head, The Lamb, The Original Body;

EVEN EVERY ATTRIBUTE OF GOD THAT SHALL BE MADE MANIFEST IN A VESSEL HE CHOSE FOR HIMSELF. AND HE HAPPENS TO BE THE HEAD OF THIS FAMILY.

SONG: [He’s everything. He’s everything to me. He’s my Father, my Mother, my Brother, my Sister, He’s everything to me.]

….THAT NOT EVEN DEATH WILL CHANGE YOUR CONVICTION. DO YOU KNOW THAT? NOT EVEN DEATH WILL REMOVE YOUR CONVICTION AND CERTAINTY IN CHRIST. ARE YOU CONVINCED THAT YOU ARE NOT DECEIVED BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA? ARE YOU CONVINCED THAT GOD DID NOT GATHER YOU TO DECEIVE YOU? HAS IT BECOME A REVELATION THAT YOU ARE WORSHIPPING THE GOD THAT YOUR FOREFATHERS WORSHIPPED? BY YOUR FOREFATHERS, I MEAN, PEOPLE LIKE ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, DAVID, SOLOMON AND THE REST OF THEM, DOWN TO THE LORD JESUS. ARE YOU CONVINCED? IF YOU ARE NOT CONVINCED, YOU ARE NOT WORTHY TO CONTINUE WITH US. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CONTINUE WITH US BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SURE. IF YOU KNOW THAT ONE THAT IS VERY CLEAR TO YOU, AND THAT IS THE ONE YOU BELIEVE, GO THERE.

ARE YOU CONVINCED? Preached on Sunday 15th April, 2012; Pg. 130 vs. 52 – 53

WHAT THEN IS THE BASIS OF YOUR UNBELIEF?

Hebrews 6:17 – 20 Amplified version. Accordingly, God also, IN HIS DESIRE TO SHOW MORE CONVINCINGLY, and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise, the unchangeableness of his purpose and plan, INTERVENED (MEDIATED) WITH AN OATH.

This He did as the Mediator of the new covenant which is established on better premises.

[22]Because of God’s oath, Christ can guarantee forever the success of this new and better arrangement. [Hebrews 7:22 LB]

This was so that by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us].

[Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [IT CANNOT SLIP AND IT CANNOT BREAK DOWN UNDER WHOEVER STEPS OUT UPON IT–…

Wait! Read that part again!

[Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it–…

Whoever that steps out upon it; if you drop, it is still God. You cannot add and you cannot subtract. If you fall away on the journey, it does not matter. Hallelujah! He does not want to know about who steps out of it. Hallelujah!

I do not care about the sand that fell off the tipper while on the move, for that quantity will not reduce that the tipper is carrying from being adjudged as full load. Listen to Me.

Pay attention! When a tipper is fully loaded with sand, can any quantity of sand fall of the tipper due to bad state of the road and then make what the tipper is carrying to adjudged less than a full load?

The only thing that will make the driver to stop is the shovel, if it falls off, for it is a useful tool for work. Shovel is important. It is used in the work. The driver must apply brake and then instruct his conductor to go and pick up the shovel.

But the driver continues on his journey and does not care about the sand that falls away from the tipper. When he delivers the sand at the appointed destination, what he brought is still counted as one full trip.

If he takes one grain of sand to the destination, it is one full trip. If he delivers half of the tipper capacity, it is still counted as one trip. If the sand fills the tipper to the brim, it is equally counted as one trip.

So, what is this telling us. If all these attempts to make us understand the Message fully is difficult for you, go away. My vehicle will continue on its journey.

My vehicle is in a very good condition. My vehicle can never break down. My vehicle is vibrating. My vehicle engine is pumping. The valve is pumping. Everything is okay.

AS THE PERFECT DRIVING, I KNOW THE WAY. AND I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING. Hallelujah! Amen.

No matter how uncomfortable you are sitting in the vehicle, that is when it is loaded and you are sitting there. The moment it moves, and the driver will apply brake. And the moment he applies the brake, the vehicle will shake, everybody will be accommodated.

Once it is fully loaded and it has not moved, everybody is feeling discomforted. But let it move and shake a little, every gap will be filled. Breeze will enter. Heat will vanish. Am I making sense?

Song: [We are travelling on the right road. We are travelling on the right road. There is one way to the city of God. We are travelling on the right road.]

[My God knows the way through the wilderness. All I have to do is to follow Him. My God knows the way through the wilderness. All I have to do is to follow Him.]

Hebrews 6:19 Amplified version. [NOW] WE HAVE THIS [HOPE] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip AND IT CANNOT BREAK DOWN..

It cannot fizzle out of you. You can never forget it. You can forget everything, but not this hope. It is indelible. It has come to stay. You are a part of it. It is a part of you.

It is the essence of your existence, for life without it is meaningless. Life without it is a miserable one, if at the end, you miss this hope.

So, if you have this hope, you purify your life by allowing the Word to have effect in your daily living. Period!

[NOW] WE HAVE THIS [HOPE] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and IT CANNOT BREAK DOWN UNDER WHOEVER STEPS OUT UPON IT—

Whether devil or demon; Whoever that steps out upon it, He [God] does not care. Whether Apostle, Son of Man, Prophet, Bishop, Archbishop, High Priest; and you step out on it, you are lost and forgotten. Your place will be seen no more. And the journey continues.

SONG: [This Faith will continue without you. This Faith will continue without you, no matter your pride and position.

Some are still travelling, while some are dead. Some are still travelling, while some have fallen by the wayside. By God’s grace, we are still on course.

This Faith will continue without you. This Faith will continue without you, no matter your pride and position.]

Some are still travelling. Some are dead. Some have fallen by the wayside. It cannot slip off, no matter who slips out of it.

No matter who steps away from the Faith; even if you like leave the Faith right now; If you like carry you’re your bag and leave the ship, the Faith continues.

WHO ARE YOU THAT GOD CANNOT DO WITHOUT YOU? GOD CAN DO WITHOUT ANYBODY. NOBODY IS INDISPENSABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. BUT YOU CAN NEVER DO WITHOUT GOD. DENY HIM TODAY, YOU MEET HIM IN YOUR DEATH. AMEN.

I gave them the Message, IS YOUR TICKET VALID AND OKAYED? Is your ticket valid, okayed and authenticated by the Supreme Office?

Are you holding a fake passport? This is because God has only but one chief passport office where the signature is one; The only authentic signature. And you know Who He is, for He alone has the Father sealed and sent.

19[Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it—A HOPE] THAT REACHES FARTHER AND ENTERS INTO [THE VERY CERTAINTY OF THE PRESENCE] WITHIN THE VEIL,

A hope that reaches what? The farthest part of the world. A hope that goes round the whole world. Publish it far and wide.

So, you that are in Nigeria; you are just a drop in the bucket. You are unnoticeable.

SONG: [All over the world, the Spirit is moving. All over the world, as the Prophet said it should be. All over the world, there is a mighty revelation of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.]

… – A hope that reaches farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil, 20 Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek.

To God be the glory. Amen. As many as fail to make use of this wonderful opportunity, I want to show you their position. What they will say on that Day.

Proverbs 5: 12 – 14 & 21 – 23, AMP. 12And you say, How I hated instruction and discipline, and my heart despised reproof! 13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers nor submitted and consented to those who instructed me.

14[The extent and boldness of] my sin involved almost all evil [in the estimation] of the congregation and the community.

21For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the Lord, and He [Who would have us live soberly, chastely, and godly] carefully weighs all man’s goings.

22His own iniquities shall ensnare the wicked man, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin. 23He will die for lack of discipline and instruction, AND IN THE GREATNESS OF HIS FOLLY HE WILL GO ASTRAY AND BE LOST.

On this note, the topic is; having rejoiced from morning till this hour because we are hearing the truth and we are believing the truth, we now have a more sure anchor where we now pin our hope that, come what may, the promised salvation now belongs to us. That eternal life now belongs to us.

We know Who God is and that God has bound Himself with an oath and with His own promise, authenticated the Faith, vindicated, confirmed and made it clearer than any other;

A confirmation that we are not deceived. And we know God has never been guilty of telling lies; and He cannot deceive us using His promises. Amen!

Then, the title is: WHAT THEN IS THE BASIS OF OUR UNBELIEF? WHAT THEN IS THE BASIS FOR YOUR UNBELIEF? A pertinent question. WHAT THEN IS THE BASIS FOR YOUR UNBELIEF?

On this note, I invite the Evangelist to the pulpit. It is his turn, for we have been promising him for two weeks now. Whatever he has for us, let us give ear to it.

Are we happy? Are we still thirsting for the Word? Are we comforted? Is today a waste? Are we regretting it? Amen!

Nobody regrets any time spent with God. Our faith has been increased more, and our eyes of understanding illuminated.

If not for the Evangelist, I would have continued riding on because it is bubbling in Me. It is still bubbling. Well, continue. Let us give him that privilege. Amen!
