Preached On Sunday 22nd September, 2019 @ The Household of God, Onitsha. Nigeria. By Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN THE SANCTIFIER
I AM THE JUSTIFIER. I AM THE JUDGE OF THE WHOLE EARTH. IT IS AN IRREVOCABLE FACT. BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN. LEAVE IT IF YOU CANNOT BELIEVE IT. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE, BEFORE YOU DIE, YOU WILL BELIEVE ME. IN LIFE OR IN DEATH, I AM THERE. YOU WILL SEE MY FACE.
HOW ARMED ARE YOU FOR THE TROUBLOUS TIMES?/RECOGNIZE THE WEAKNESSES

I HAVE NOT TRIED MY BEST
Let somebody give Me ‘NOW IS YOUR HOUR AND POWER OF DARKNESS’. Fast! Paulson, come and read this thing.
2. Those who were with Me last night, you overheard Me saying something. I was saying that we have a calendar, and I enquired from Apostle Kelechi whether he could remember that we are not operating without a calendar. He said, “Sure! Sure! Sure!”
3. Those who were with Me from the very official beginning, and vowed a vow that come what may, they will see the end, and sealed it with an everlasting covenant with THE SON OF MAN, “Come what may; Let the wind blow, Let the world shatter into pieces”, they are immovable and unshakable.
4. But as many as are struggling will soon get tired, for your strength can never see you through. I know the extent you can get to and then you collapse.
5. I told you that we have a calendar. Just like William Branham said it in the message, THE MAN THAT CAN TURN ON THE LIGHT. Let me read.
6. Were you in My house last night? [The LORD asked Bro Paulson] You are a privileged Brother. You are growing faster than your father. Your father is trailing very much behind.
7. When was this Message handled? 12th January 1997. On 12th January 1997. We got a calendar from the very official beginning. And THE SON OF MAN never left anybody in the dark about that calendar.
8. That is why when you make noise, you make matters worse. But if you can close your mouth and be still, you will see the salvation of God come true.
9. Let Me just give the testimony. I saw our Brother Promise today in the pulpit, singing praises. I mean, his heart was filled with joy but his voice was not carrying him through.
10. He said that there is a reason why he is praising God. Really there is. He should be rejoicing. He is the one that is supposed to sing the song we used to sing; [I was wallowing in sin in the wilderness, but now I have come home. O God hear my voice.]
11. I am telling you the truth. He is the one that is supposed to sing that song; [When I was wandering in the world without any hope, my God met me on the way and blessed me.]
12. God did something for him. For many years, he was rusting, wasting in Aba. Because I used to see him among some Brethren, notably Pastor Chinemezu and Brother Chinonso. I call them trio.
13. They took it upon themselves without any instruction to be coming to My house almost every weekend at Mbaise to tidy up the whole environment, including the house.
14. After some years, I monitored and found out that the young man was really striving to be a man, being the first son of the father and who lost his father at a tender age. The mother, a widow, has little or no capacity.
15. He was making sincere efforts, but he could not secure admission in any higher institution. He wrote his WAEC. He passed. He is intelligent.
16. YOU KNOW, DEPRESSION PRODUCES FRUSTRATION, AND FRUSTRATION BRINGS ABOUT SUICIDE. DID YOU GET IT? DEPRESSION PRODUCES FRUSTRATION. FRUSTRATION PRODUCES SUICIDE.
17. I HOPE NOBODY IS FRUSTRATED HERE. I DO NOT WANT YOU TO COMMIT SUICIDE. WALK WITH ME. I SAY, WALK WITH ME.
18. Once you walk with me, there must be light at the end of the tunnel. Nobody has ever partnered with God with regrets. But if you rely on your own capacity, people will trample upon you.
19. You waste your energy. You waste your resources. You waste your time. You live a regrettable life, only to realize your folly when you have become too old.
20. So, a time came when I looked up and looked down. I did not know what to do. Having known his condition and that of others, I sent for him. Something he never prayed for. He never anticipated it.
21. My Word came across through Pastor Chinemezu, “Tell that your Brother and My friend who is related to our late Brother Polycarp, the late Apostle, that I have looked round, and there is no other thing I can do to commemorate Apostle Polycarp than to pick this boy who is his own son. Let Me see whether I can establish him for a memorial.”
22. Each time I look at him, I remember Apostle Polycarp. I do not know the mother. I only knew the mother recently.
23. So My invitation got to him, “If you show interest; If you are interested in living with Me, just carry your bag and come immediately. No second thought. Not the following day. On receipt of the message, come at once.”
24. He never knew where we were living at Nsugbe. He got the message in the morning and then called Me. I told him how to get to Nsugbe. Before 4 o’clock, he was at Onitsha. That same day! By 5 o’clock, he was at Nsugbe.
25. We went to Sister Thomas’ shop and collected him. And since that time, we have been together.
26. He wrote JAMB examination several times, no way. He got frustrated. He looked for job, got job in a security company where he worked for some months but they did not pay him.
27. He got one useless government offer. N-Power. He worked under N-Power for many months but they did not pay him.
28. He went to learn a trade on how to sell crayfish and everything. He learnt, maintained a good record and finished, but there was no money to establish him. And the master could not give him a help.
29. If you were in his shoes, what will you do? I mean, he came to a point where he was almost losing faith in himself.
30. When, he came; after due enquiries, I first of all started the first work which was to remould him. I melted him, remoulded him and then began to fill him.
31. Up till now, I am still filling him. But talk of melting, I have melted him. I have remoulded him. But the vessel will take some time to be filled.
32. SO, I AM PATIENT. I TOLD YOU THAT I DO NOT GIVE UP. I HAVE NOT TRIED MY BEST UNTIL I HAVE ACHIEVED MY BEST.
33. I summoned him, “My friend, you are of age. You are over twenty years. Will you be loitering about like this? Tell Me, what will you like to be in life? I want to know the career. I want to know your career prospect.”
34. He said, “Daddy, anything you desire for Me.” I said, “No, No, No, No, No! What if I say that you should be a truck pusher, a barrow pusher or a Keke [tricycle] rider?” He said, “provided you are the one.”
35. I said, “No! Be sincere. Be a man! I am not nursing a new baby. So, nobody comes to my house to help me to nurse my babies. No! I do not have any infant in my house. I brought you here for your own good. Tell Me exactly your capacity. Did you pass School Cert?” He said, “Yes!”
36. Can I see the result? He brought the thing. I want to have many variables. Where are you anchoring? He said, “Daddy, my desire is to further my education. I want to read Electrical/Electronic Engineering, but I have been failing.”
37. I asked, “Did you pass the sciences?” He said, “Except Physics.” I said, “No, No, No! You are not going anywhere in Engineering without physics. But looking at your age, I will not like you to go and begin to re-sit that Physics, because when you fail one core subject, you repeat nine. You may fail even those you passed before. I want you to use one result to secure admission.
38. Being a poor boy from a poor family, I will establish you firmly where you would not go about looking for job. Rather, you create jobs. If you will agree with me, I will look into your results and then give you options.”
39. He accepted and I looked into the results and gave him options. There are too many courses you can pursue outside Physics, but I will choose the one I know that will establish you without carrying files and writing for employment.
40. He thought I was crazy. I gave him assignment with Pastor Chizoba and surrendered My laptop to him, and then uploaded every information from JAMB past question papers and then subjected him to reading.
41. He was not cooperating at the initial stage because the brain had been lying fallow. He had acquired a culture that was difficult to be broken, but I broke it.
42. My wife gave him no rest. We continued waking him up early hours of the morning, discouraging him from television and every other thing to make sure he read because the brain was there, but stupidity, carelessness which he dwelt in for many years became a habit.
43. So, when I cut off those occasions, I registered him for JAMB Examination. He came out with a score of 235. I said, “Okay.” This is something that has never happened in his life. He has not even seen 170 before. Then, we rejoiced.
44. I sent Him for the Post-UME at the University of Nigeria. He went. They did the screening. Last week, the result came out and he was offered admission to read Economics Education.
45. I mean, put yourself in his shoes. In only but one year plus that he stayed with Me. The same thing that happened to our Brother Chika Onah who was packing home and the parents were supporting the boy to be a public nuisance. THE SON OF MAN said No!
46. Today, he is busy with his project. In the next few months from now, he will bag OND, and then continue until he comes out with Higher National Diploma [HND] in Electrical Engineering, which I believe will give him a place.
47. We give God the glory. So, our Brother coming here to express his joy, his gratitude, I believe it is worthwhile. To God be the Glory.
48. We have too many testimonies. I hope Bro Chibueze is here? Our Elder. Thank God. A similar thing happened yesterday. At the end of the Sunday School, you will give your testimony together with Deacon Chibuko.
49. If not for Amazing grace, we would be talking of another thing. God is with us, and will never permit anything that will cause us to shed tears to come our way. Amen.

IS YOUR TICKET OKAYED?
| R |
ead that place for those who were with Me last night. I came here and Apostle Kelechi gave Me this note or this Message. I said I will make it known to those who were with Me last night.
2. Remember what I told you, “Whosoever that hears should tell the others”, lest they might be thinking that we gather to eat and drink and make noise. No!
3. We gather to put ourselves in order. We gather to know where we are erring, where the work is needed, and where attention should be directed.
4. Nobody can give you better expo than your lecturer. True or false? Ok! Any day you come to the point where you say you have no need of your lecturer, that is the day you have registered colossal failure.
5. You see one thing I love lecturers for. If you have failed, you have failed. And if he notices that you are stubborn, you will never pass that paper as long as he is in that school. As long as he is in that school, you will never pass that course.
6. Remember, because of Brother Justice’s stubbornness, a lecturer kept him at Nsukka for 10 years in his first degree. He kept on re-writing Mathematics.
7. And the man told him plainly, “Not in this school, while I am still here. Pray for my death or my transfer to another school. But while I am here, impossible.” If I never stepped in on the 10thyear, he would have stayed longer than that.
8. I saw Sister Ozioma here. Good! It happened to your son, Oremus in the same UNN when he was pursuing medicine. Good!
9. If your lecturer says you are not passing that subject because he has noticed you are stubborn, no more. Better pack and go.
10. So, you can be stubborn to everybody but not to your lecturer. If you run to HOD or your Dean, you are wasting your time.
11. Let us read. Those who came to Me last night, pay attention.
12. NOW IS THE HOUR AND POWER OF DARKNESS VOL. 2. Preached on 12TH JANUARY 1997. Pg. 59 vs. 9 – 10.
13. 9Once the prophet appears, expect the Apostle.
14. Once a prophet appears, the next thing you expect is what? The Apostle. The LORD our God will do nothing but revealeth his will to His servant, the prophet. Prophets will prophesy. Then, the fulfilment will follow.
15. [Amos 3:7]“But always, first of all, I warn you through my prophets. This I now have done”. LB.
16. Who is making hmmm? Don’t you know the Church is built upon the foundation of the prophets and the Apostles? Do you not know that you cannot build a Church without an Apostle, for any Church without the Apostle is a counterfeit Church?
17. 10IT IS THE APOSTLE THAT WILL TELL YOU THE FULFILMENT OF ANY PROPHECY.
18. No Prophet will prophesy and tell you the fulfilment. He prophesies and then gives way. Apostle will tell you the fulfilment.
19. It is His duty to announce to you THE FULFILMENT OF ANY PROPHECY AND THE END OF THE AGE.
20. And what? The end of the age of that Prophet. Every Prophet comes in every age. The Apostle will tell you where the age terminates, and then another age comes up.
21. It is not the Prophet that will tell you everything, IT IS THE APOSTLE BECAUSE HE HOLDS THE CALENDAR IN HIS HANDS.
22. What? Who will tell you everything? The Apostle. Why? He holds the calendar in His hands. 1997 January.
23. HE IS PART AND PARCEL OF THAT CALENDAR. HE IS THE MAN THAT EVERYBODY WILL LOOK AT BECAUSE HE IS THE ANGEL OF THE COVENANT OF THAT AGE. Amen.
24. Apostle Kelechi, thank you for finding it. I want all of you to be calmly seated.
25. Last week, a very delicate Message was going on. I saw many walking up and down. I met many outside. A sign that the salvation is not for them. Those people are already in paradise. But has God said so?
26. Let Me tell you one thing. The moment you have obtained a ticket for your travel, and you obtained the right ticket from the right office, you are sure you were not deceived into purchasing from touts, your name automatically enters the manifest. The time of your departure is also attached there. Then your ticket is stamped OK!
27. If at the time of the departure, the departure time is cancelled, then postponed to a later time, it is that same ticket that you will use to enter and you will take no other number than the number that is on that ticket.
28. Even if the journey is postponed for one week, provided that plane must embark on that journey, that ticket is still valid. I say, that ticket is still valid.
29. If there is a problem in the airport, like we had it at Enugu, it is still there. Once you are holding that ticket, and the plane now will be using Delta [State] airport, you are automatically re-routed to Delta airport, Asaba to board that same plane with that same ticket. You do not pay any other thing.
30. So, the moment you have that ticket, that is all you need. That is all you need. Amen.
31. So, you strive to make sure that what you are holding is the right ticket, confirmed, okayed and your name is boldly written in the manifest, with the time for departure attached.
32. Do you know one thing about that thing? You can book your ticket online. You can also book at the counter. Whether online or on-the-counter payment, they are all valid, provided they are issued from the right issuing house.
33. Those that are living outside Nigeria are booking their tickets from THE SON OF MAN’s Office online. I have online believers of THE SON OF MAN. I have desk believers of THE SON OF MAN. True or false?
34. I have millions online. In short, those I have online are greater than the people I have here.
35. So, the most important thing is to make sure you have your ticket Okayed and confirmed with the signature. That settles the matter. Then be there. I say, be there.
36. Your duty is to be listening to announcements and then keep your mouth busy with kolanuts or groundnut while waiting. Keep your mouth busy while waiting. Amen.
It is just like here. Any moment from now, the world will know who I am. Very shortly, the world will go after Me. And by the time they will know what is happening, I am already on My way home. The Man-child has been born. Publish it wide. Tell them that the Man-child has been born. Tell them because I am commanding you to. If it is not true, I will not be saying it with every amount of authority. From the very word go, you know I have been talking to you as One having authority. I have not been teaching you like one of the Pharisees. I have been making affirmative statements challenging the whole world.
ARE YOU CONVINCED? Preached on Sunday 15th April, 2012; Pg. 171 vs. 37– 38

THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION (1)
I need your heart and your ears. That is as many as have followed Me spiritually and physically to where we are now. We are to give this journey a gap.
2. So, we have to go back. Ngosike, you are here today. I will use you for Sunday School. Do whatever you can. Finish it. This is Volume 1. Go straight up to chapter 2. Finish it and join it to volume 2. They are separate dates.
3. If you are desirous of eternal life, give ear. These Messages are instructed, if you do not have it, book your copy. It came out at a time when we had no library. Few individuals have it.
4. I do not have this Message. May be I travelled the time it came out. I had no library that time, but I got my own through Pastor Thomas, used it in my family and then brought it here. Pay attention first. Nobody will give you expo that is dependable more than your lecturer.
5. THE SECRET OF RAPTURE, VOLUME 1. The secret of translation. Rapture was the language we were using the same way we were using “Church at” “Church at”.
6. THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION VOLUME 1. Preached on 19thDecember 1999 at the Household of God Onitsha by THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena. Chapter 2; ‘Who is your masterpiece part 1?’
7. Now, this message Master piece, William Branham said that in everything God is going to do, He will always present a masterpiece. When God wanted a righteous one; there was none.
8. It behooved on Him to come here and became the first highpriest, the first Righteous priest appeared on the scene Who had no father and mother; no beginning of days, no ending of days and He officiated as number one righteous High priest. His name was called Melchizedek. Then, the foundation for priesthood was laid.
9. From there we could see the shadow of the priesthood, which we could see from the tribe of Levi. An imperfect priesthood which was just for a temporary time, the Lord phased it out. Then when God required a righteous and permanent High priest, He has to pattern the High Priest after Melchizedek appeared.
10. What is more, He will remain a high priest forever whose priests you are. That is why you are all called priests of the most high God. That is why you are also able ministers of the New Testament, new agreement, new government, new order. We do not operate in the old order again; we are now in the new order.
11. 7In the Message titled THE PERFECT GUIDE, the Prophet made it clear that for a Guide to be a Perfect Guide, He must never be a novice to that road.
12. Please I want rapt silence. Even if you know the whole contents, keep it to yourself. As we proceed, you will know why. THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION. That is what we are reading.
13. In short, for them to pay attention, they were here last week, we read many things. And I told you clearly that no lecturer will ever compel you to go and read the holistic teachings or lectures for you to pass any exam.
14. He will show you or tell you the areas you must focus your revision to avoid random reading. And that is where we are now.
15. If we must pass this examination that is staring us in the face, THE SON OF MAN will not be a wicked Messenger to tell you to study the whole doctrines from the beginning till the end. Never!
16. I have taught you everything about life and godliness, and I am now directing to the areas where you should prepare yourselves for the examination, where the questions must come from.
17. To enable them pay attention, go to volume 2 [THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION]. Read chapter 1 only and then come back to volume 1. Let Me see whether I have sensible people here.
18. THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION VOLUME 2. Preached on 31st December, 1999. At the Household of God, Onitsha, by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN; Chapter 1, Pg. 8 vs. 1 – 21.
19. Brethren, stop writing. I said, “I want your ears and your hearts.” If you understand it, you can now settle down, put it down in your jotter in your own language, depending on your own understanding.
20. YOU HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE: 1I believe my brethren that there is coming an hour that when persecution will bring us together, then we will be one. The Church will come together; I believe it is all the making of God…”
21. 12Anydisagreement there? EVERY MEMBER WILL BE IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER AND GOD ALSO. THE CHURCH MEMBERS WILL BE STRONGLY UNITED IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER AND IN THE SAME WAY, THEY WILL BE IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH THAT GOD IN THEIR MIDST.
22. Did we hear it last Sunday from two different Messages preached at different times?
23. Besides, Bishop Okey Paul, while talking to you, he told you clearly that the meeting started the day that Message was preached. That is the Message titled, “WHO IS YOUR MASTERPIECE? THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION.” God permitted the thing to remain on the chalkboard.
24. GOD’S NATURE: YOUR TICKET TO PARADISE. WHO ARE YOU PATTERNING YOUR LIFE AFTER?
He (Christ) is now fulfilling that thing which the law could not do, and then He was teaching and preaching to people what they must do to be perfect. He Himself, first of all, made Himself perfect. Then He made Himself the Author of eternal perfection, unto them that will obey the teachings, not Moses’ laws because now that He is on the scene, Moses is no more. Christ will now continue and all that will now inherit this eternal perfection will now obey Him.

THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION (2)
| T |
HE SECRET OF RAPTURE VOL. 2; Pg. 16 vs. 22 – 39.22Now you are demanding for translation. You are demanding for translation. Do you know when the Grace of God Church started?
2. Do you know when Deeper Life Church started? Can you say how old or how long Roman Catholic church has lasted? Yet, you are still on the land.
3. What can you say about CMS? Only for seven years, somebody is exhausted. It then means that from the beginning, you were not part of the race.
4. If you think that God has over-delayed you, what can you say of Roman Catholic church? The first denomination that came out. AD 70.
5. 23What can you say of those that were promised translation and they died without getting it and remained in the grave till now? Go back to the Message titled “Have You Worshipped God For One Day?”
6. You have to be patient with God. That is why I gave you the Message titled YOU HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE. When your obedience is fulfilled, then you get the promise. WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED, THEN YOU GET THE PROMISE.
7. 24You have need of patience.
8. Can a woman have a child without getting pregnant?
9. 24You have need of patience. When your obedience is fulfilled, you get the promise.Not when your obedience is not fulfilled. People that were making the greatest noise were the people we baptised around October this year because of Holy Convocation and in December they are looking for translation.
10. In other words, translation has over delayed because this Faith came into existence.
11. 25EVEN, LET IT BE IN YEAR TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY (2020).
12. What?
13. 25EVEN, LET IT BE IN YEAR TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY (2020).
14. What?
15. 25EVEN, LET IT BE IN YEAR TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY (2020). Let me see whether you will blow off. Does God owe you? If He says He would not go with you, will you slap Him?
16. 26Please be humble, please be gentle and change your vision. I do not know which sacrifice you are making which others are not making. Change your vision immediately. If you provoke my Spirit to wrath, I will fight back immediately.
17. You are behaving as if God is unjust. In other words, you have done all that God said you should do and God has failed in His own promise.
18. 27Have you done all that you are commanded to do and God failed to fulfil His own part? I know some are rejoicing now that the Message is going this way.
19. Some are very happy. Thank you. Such person said thank you because he thinks there would be time for him to accomplish his project. HOWEVER, I WILL STRIKE AT A TIME WHEN YOU DO NOT EXPECT.
20. 28I TOLD A SISTER, “PLEASE, RELAX YOUR MIND. TRANSLATION IS GOING TO TAKE ALL OF YOU BY SURPRISE.” IT IS CONTAINED IN YOUR PROPHETIC MESSAGE.
21. 29I HAD EARLIER DECIDED TO GIVE YOU THE DATE BUT BECAUSE OF YOUR BEHAVIOUR, SURELY I AM TAKING ALL OF YOU BY SURPRISE.
22. WHEN YOU HAVE LOST EVERY KNOWLEDGE, EVERY FEELING OF TRANSLATION, WHEN YOU WILL EVEN HATE TRANSLATION, THAT IS WHEN IT WILL COME.
23. Twenty years ago!
24. 29I HAD EARLIER DECIDED TO GIVE YOU THE DATE BUT BECAUSE OF YOUR BEHAVIOUR, SURELY I AM TAKING ALL OF YOU BY SURPRISE.
25. Do we have any message where 2020 appeared? A new year message? But it was first heard twenty years ago. Pointing you to 2020, which will make it twenty-one years. And was commanding you to blow off the roof. Continue, that’s not where am heading to.
26. 30After raking and raking, you will come back to your seat and sit down. You will feel that your seat is giving you trouble, leave there and join the world.
27. Whatever you see there, you take! If somebody waves you to come back, say no that you are not coming back.
28. 31I was talking to a sister seriously saying, “Do you know, when this Church was very few in number, about ten persons, I was excommunicating people from the Church?” She said, “Yes.” And I never asked the person to come back.
29. 32When we were less than ten persons, you disturb our peace, we will put you out straightaway.
30. We have never solicited for membership from the beginning of this ministry till now. Hence, we are not interested in your membership of this most holy Faith.
31. Who are you? What are you coming here to do for us?
32. 36From the scripture, I will give you the one that is truth; I gave you this “expo” on the secret of translation. Someone that is going to an exam with expo and fails, use your knowledge to know what should be done to that person.
33. Have we heard about expo recently?
34. 37A big examination that you are expecting; it is not only you that are expecting the examination. Others are equally running around to see what they can do.
35. Then somebody called you and told you, “Do not read your book randomly, see what is going to come out, IT IS NOT THE DOCTRINE YOU KNOW. YOU MAY KNOW THE WHOLE DOCTRINES AND STILL PERISH.
36. I said, “Stop writing. Give Me your hearts and your ears.” 20 years ago, re-echoing recently, precisely for two years now. The grasshopper killed by a noisy bird is deaf.
37. SEE WHERE IT IS. SEE IT. ONCE YOU GET IT, LOOK AT WHERE YOU ARE.” I gave you one instance that magnet can only magnet iron.
38. 38“As long as the devil can make you fight one another…”39Note it, as long as the Devil can make you fight one another, it might not be physically. You may fight one another spiritually.
39. Remember this is the time for spiritual worship, for God is a spirit and we are worshipping Him in spirit and in truth.
40. IT IS BETTER TO FIGHT ONE ANOTHER PHYSICALLY THAN TO FIGHT SPIRITUALLY. THE WORST FIGHT IS TO FIGHT YOUR BROTHER SPIRITUALLY. THE GREATEST ANGER IS THE ANGER FROM THE HEART. Do you get what I am saying? Witchcraft is in the heart.
41. What will stop your journey is where? In the heart. What is taking you in is in the heart. What is stopping you is in the heart.
42. What stops a customer from entering the banking hall is in him. It is in him. If it is not found in his pocket, it is found in his bag or beneath the shoes.
43. Security gate at the bank does not stop people anyhow. Once you hear the voice, “This customer is undesirable”, it can never open. You just walk out. Before your eyes, some will enter and land in the banking hall safely and with ease.
44. Security people will help you by telling you, “Please sir, do not be offended, go and search yourself. What is stopping you is contained in you. You are carrying something that can never cross this gate.”
45. Note it. It is very delicate to fight your Brother or your Sister spiritually. It is better you confront him face to face, than to be witch-hunting him.
21And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: and I will make them one nation in the land upon the Mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Ezekiel 37:21 – 22 KJV

THE END HAS COME
THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION VOL. 2; When you see that uniting power from God, gather the Church together from the four winds of the earth…
2. Note it. From where? From the four winds of the earth. Not Onitsha. Not four winds of Nigeria. The whole world. Four winds of the earth. As at the year 1999 or the year 2000, we werefew still in Onitsha and few places in Nigeria.
3. But Jesus Christ gave you the sign which I have confirmed again. He was asked the question according to saintMatthew chapter 24, even saint Luke, “Tell us the signs that will precede the end of the world and even the time of the end of the world.”
4. He began to tell them, “You will hear rumours of war. You will see wars. You will see earthquakes in diverse places, signs in the heaven and on earth, in the rivers and things like that.”
5. He said, “But these are just like labour pains. It is not yet the end.” They insisted they must know the end. He made them to know.
6. “THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM MUST BE PREACHED TO ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS AGAINST THEM. THE MAN OF SIN SHALL BE REVEALED. AND THEN, THE END SHALL COME.”
7. [Matthew 24:14] “And the good news about the kingdom will be preached throughout the world, so that all nations will hear it, and then, finally, the end will come”. LVB.
8. [2nd Thessalonian 2:3] “Don’t be carried away and deceived regardless of what they say. For that day will not come until two things happen: first, there will be a time of great rebellion against God, and then the man of rebellion will come – the son of hell”.LVB.
9. Has the man of sin been revealed? Has the Gospel been preached to all the nations? In all the languages? In all the tongues? What is left? What is left?
10. As at that time, heathens, hypocrites filled the Camp. They were anticipating rapture, when we had not even crossed over. The sheep on the other side were yet to be identified.
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. 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.
12. Whether it is found in Hare Krishna, in Buddha, in Eckankar, in Ogboni, in Lodge, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Pentecostals, traditionalists, even from among native doctors. He has picked all.
13. From Islam and from all the Prophets, He has gathered all. There is no free thinker that God has not gathered his own expression of truth, and tied all of them together, because you are worshipping a universal God, not Anambra god, or Igbo god or Nigerian god.
14. God is taking His people from the four winds of the earth, and He is leaving nobody behind, unless that one is not His product.
15. Apart from the world of Noah, there has never been any other world where a Messenger came, and within a space of 27 years, he covered the whole earth.
16. Noah covered the whole earth in 120 years, but THE SON OF MAN received A QUICK WORK MINISTRY that will be wrapped up in righteousness. That is why it never gave Him a breathing space. From 1992 till now, no breathing space.
17. Remember that the Prophet of God said, “When He shall be here with the Message, there is going to be something God will put in place that will make it possible for people living in faraway countries to behold Him.”
18. Then fulfilling the Message, “As the lightning crosses from one end of the world to another, so shall the coming of THE SON OF MAN be.” [Matthew 24:27]
19. There is nowhere any human being is today on the planet earth where THE SON OF MAN is not there. And once He is there, the Message of the Kingdom is there. Then, what are you expecting now?
20. You were expecting the end when the work was not yet finished. And now the work is completely over, and then I have sealed it according to the promise of the time, that the moment the work is over, the Headstone will unite, the Original Body will appear.
21. The Prophet William Branham said, “The Headstone will not come down if not to unite with the Body. And the moment it unites, the Original Body shall be made manifest.” Then, that is the Cap-stone. The Ministry has been capped.
22. Then, having come thus far, how many am I having in My hand right now that I can rightly say that they are materials for Paradise? That is why you do not need to do random studies or random reading. What about people that do not know how to read and write?
23. But there is something in them. God placed those things there. THERE IS NO EDUCATION GREATER THAN YOUR CONSCIENCE. Did you get the Message? AND THERE IS NO VISIBLE BOOK GREATER THAN NATURE. If you know a physical book that is greater than nature, mention it.
24. MAY BE, YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF READING AND WRITING WAS INVENTED, BUT NATURE WAS NOT INVENTED.
25. You will stay long today because I am coming to read many things.
Who had a close insight into the hour? The Resurrected Body. Who is feeding us with this Truth? The Resurrected Body. Who has the ability to fish out criminals from amongst us? The Resurrected Body. Who has the Power to separate the sheep from the goat? The Resurrected Body. Who knows who is who in the Bride? The Resurrected Body.

WE HAVE A PERFECT GUIDE
IN OUR DAY
THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION VOL. 2; Pg. 24 vs. 39. Note it, as long as the Devil can make you fight one another, it might not be physically.
2. Note! The devil is the one making you to fight one another while we have a common enemy. Instead of fighting a common enemy, you are fighting your Brother; You are fighting your Sister, thinking your Brother is your problem or that your Sister is your problem, but neglecting a common enemy. Do we have it in our Message?
3. WE HAVE A COMMON ENEMY WE SHOULD COLLECTIVELY FIGHT AND WHAT IS THAT COMMON ENEMY? UNBELIEF!
4. You leave your enemy and fight your Brother and fight your Sister.
5. OUR 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.
6. That 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?
7. THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION VOL. 2; Pg. 24 vs. 39. 39Note it, as long as the Devil can make you fight one another, it might not be physically. You may fight one another spiritually.
8. Everybody pay attention to this Message. HOW LOW HAVE WE CONDESCENDED? Preached on 8th October, 1996 at the Household of God, Onitsha by Pastor NnamdiOgbogu; Page 21 verse 6 through 10.
9. 6In fact, Church, you need to pray for me. I do not know what to do other than to follow God. That you are hearing what you have been hearing today, I tell you, if we stay here in more years’ time, God will rehearse it again.
10. 10Let us be very very careful now that we know we are worshipping a living God. This is the time for us to tell ourselves the naked truth.
11. Now the hour has come that we have to be very very mindful of God. This is not the time to pamper people. I am telling you, this is not the time. All of us will have to sit up.
12. Where is NnamdiOgbogu? Remember he was the one that preached the Message, BE VERY CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT FALL BEFORE YOU GET TO YOUR TARGET. At the end, he fell before he got to the target.
13. Finally, he died. What killed him? A Jezebel pulled him out of the Faith. A Pastor. It happened for our learning that those who think that they are mighty, that they are standing, should be very careful lest they will fall. Follow the errors of the wicked and then shipwreck.
14. Remember there was another, Bishop Okey we quoted in the morning who handled the Message, DO NOT FOLLOW THE ERRORS OF THE WICKED.
15. After preaching it, because of money, because of money, he became a victim of the Message He preached. He followed the errors of the wicked because of ordinary carrot that was dangled.
16. At the end, he did not collect the carrot and he did not continue in Christ. When the devil dangles it before you, you will think that you have become a millionaire.
17. When you move to collect it, the devil will shift backwards. As you advance towards him, he keeps drawing backwards. The devil will, in this way, draw you until you will not know your way back again. You will lose everything. You cannot reach up and you cannot reach down. He will then begin mock you.
18. In your heart you will be regretting, “See what I have done to myself.” He gives you one and collects ten from you.
19. THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION VOLUME 1. CHAPTER 2; WHO IS YOUR MASTER PIECE (1)
20. If not for one thing, I would have stopped the reading. But since I do not have a copy, I know many do not have it. And I know it contains something that will help everybody. I have handled it in Myfamily from A – Z. But this is My Super Family.
21. Pg. 23 verse 6 6That which the Bridegroom could not accomplish in His own advent because His time was very short, He has to accomplish, He has to complete in the Ministry of the Church which is the Bride.
22. The Church is to finish that which remaineth, and the Church cannot do it without the very Bridegroom in their midst.
23. 7In the Message titled “THE PERFECT GUIDE,” the Prophet made it clear, that for a guide to be a perfect guide, he must never be a novice to that road.
24. He must be one that knows the road very well. He knows the ups and downs of that road. He knows the hazards. He knows the bus stops. He knows where there is a roundabout, where there is a junction. He is the one that is seasoned with the road, one that is seasoned with the city.
25. 8He used America as an example. He said, “If you are going to America and you have never been there before, you must be assigned to a Guide who will drive you around.
26. And that Guide must sign his life in, that whatever happens to you he must be held responsible.
27. Besides, that Guide knowing fully well that you are not conversant with the town, can never allow you to stray away.
28. 9If taking you around, if he wants to send you on an errand, he cannot send you beyond the scope he has already exposed you to. He said, “If you are found missing in that city, he must go and look for you. Government must surely ask him to go and account for you, and if he fails to bring you, surely, he is paying with his own life for he signed His life in.”
29. 15Now, WHO IS YOUR MASTERPIECE? THIS MESSAGE MUST RING BELL IN YOUR HEARTS. THIS IS THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION.
30. I am not preaching William Branham’s Message. To those that believed here on Earth when William Branham was on the scene, before the advent of this Bride Ministry, they were duty bound to pattern after William Branham.
31. 16In addition, that is why you see End-time Message today; they never knew when their own day and Message expired.
32. They are still continuing anyhow, worshipping God anyhow.In other words, they perish anyhow.
33. And yet they claim they have Apostles and the Five-Fold Ministry
34. 17All of them patterned after their Prophet, not knowing that the Prophet told them he was holding nothing but the shadow.
35. What he was holding cannot perfect anybody, he was laying the platform for One that will come and stand there, not for William Branham.
36. RECOGNIZE THE MESSENGER OF YOUR DAY: 18Now, I want to say that there is a Masterpiece in every dispensation. If we are preaching dispensational Message, that is, we are to recognise our own day, our own visitation and our own Message.
37. If we do not do that, surely what happened to others will happen to us. So many Pentecostals do not know that they are even preaching the Message of Martin Luther, an expired Message. I am telling you God’s truth.
38. 19Many Pentecostals do not know that they are still preaching the Message of Wesley, an expired Message. Why? Because of blindness.
39. 21You must recognise the Messenger of your day, when you recognise the messenger of your day; it will be easy for you to recognise the Message of your day.
40. 22NOTE IT VERY WELL, THE MESSENGER OF YOUR DAY HOLDS THE MESSAGE OF YOUR DAY, AND THE MESSENGER OF YOUR DAY IS YOUR MASTERPIECE.
41. 23If I am sent to come and bring you home, it then means I am sent to come and guide you home. Remember Jesus Christ said in John 16:13 that when the Holy Spirit shall come, He shall guide us into all truth. Then the question arises: Can He guide you into all truth if He never knew the truth? No!
42. 24If He came here for somebody to come and teach him, we will find it difficult to follow Him because His knowledge will be limited. I do not know whether someone is catching what I am saying?
43. He that is teaching us has no need that any man should teach Him, and we know His record that there is no human being that will say he stood here one day to teach Him.
44. 25However, He is to guide you into the knowledge of all truth, if He never knew all truth, do you think He could have been sent to come and guide you to all truth?
45. Can a man give something he has not? Whatever you have is what you will give. If He does not know the way to Heaven, will He be sent to come and bring you back to Heaven?
46. 26For instance, if I do not know the way leading to Kano, nobody will send me to come and take his brother to Kano.Unless, two of us will perish. Note, I am coming to something.
47. 27THE GUIDE MUST KNOW THE WAY; HE MUST NOT BE A NOVICE. HE MUST BE SEASONED, KNOWS THE HAZARDS, THE UPS AND DOWNS OF THE WAY.
48. HE KNOWS WHERE THERE IS A JUNCTION, HE KNOWS WHERE THERE IS VALLEY, HE KNOWS WHERE THERE IS MOUNTAIN, HE KNOWS DANGEROUS SPOTS, AND IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE, YOUR DUTY IS TO FIX YOUR ATTENTION (EYES) ON HIM AND OBEY ALL HIS INSTRUCTIONS.
49. 28William Branham said in that Message, “If he gets to the wilderness and said, ‘Let us go to the left,’ and you said you must go to the right,” he said, “You perish.” Because once you lose connection from the Guide you perish.
50. 29It is just like an aeroplane that loses connection from the radar. Surely, it will pieces in the air and disappear completely. Amen.
LET THE SON OF MAN BE YOUR PERFECT EXAMPLE. SOMEBODY WHO WILL TELL YOU, “IF I PREACH ANY SERMON, TEACH ANY DOCTRINE, AND YOU FEEL IT IS DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO APPLY IT IN LIFE, HE SAID, “RELAX YOUR MIND. DO NOT WORRY YOURSELF. SIMPLY WATCH THE WAY I WILL DO IT. THAT IS WHAT GOD IS EXPECTING FROM YOU.””
GOD HAS FINISHED WITH YOU (BUT HAVE YOU FINISHED WITH GOD?); Preached on Wednesday 1st March 2017 at Nsukka (Late Bishop Moses family Altar); Pg. 67 vs. 32

WHO IS YOUR MASTER PIECE? (1)
THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION(1): Now we go a little into the Scriptures for I want to reveal few things to the entire Church—the Church universal.
2. I WANT TO DO WHAT? REVEAL FEW THINGS TO THE CHURCH; THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL, NOT THE CHURCH IN NIGERIA OR IN IGBO LAND, AS IF SALVATION IS FOR YOU ALONE.
3. SALVATION IS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. THE FOUR WINGS OF THE EARTH. ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD SHALL GATHER IN HIM IN THE END.
4. The secret oftranslation—Who Is Your Masterpiece? First John 2:6, “Anyone who said he is a Christian should live as Christ did.” [LB].
5. Anybody that says he or she is a child of God should live and conduct himself or herself the same way Christ lived and conducted Himself. Now we have seen our Masterpiece. Hebrews 12 verse 2. KEEP YOUR EYES ON CHRIST OUR LEADER AND INSTRUCTOR.”
6. Keep your eyes on who? Christ! Our leader and what? Instructor! Let me tell you. William Branham is a Prophet. If you read it in King James Version, it said, “Look unto Christ Jesus the author and finisher of our Faith.”
7. In other words, we have now seen that God has assigned a Perfect Instructor and Leader to us and He said, “Whoever that said he believes Him, whoever believes Christ is called a Christian. A child of God.
8. If you say you believe Christ, that means you believe His teachings and follow His teachings. Then you are a child of God. A child of God means Christ’s disciple, Christ’s follower, Christ’s believer.
9. When you believe Christ, you are little Christs, you will resemble Him in everything. What am I trying to say? Look unto Christ your Leader and your Guide, your Instructor, your Leader. LOOK UNTO HIM FOR HE IS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH.
10. IN TIME PAST, YOU HAD NO FAITH. WHATEVER YOU CLAIMED WAS YOUR FAITH WAS NOT CHRIST’S FAITH. BECAUSE NOBODY CAN HAVE CHRIST’S FAITH UNTIL CHRIST APPEARS ON THE SCENE.
11. NOTE IT. CHRIST IS NO OTHER PERSON BUT THE ANOINTED ONE. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FAITH OF CHRIST IN YOU UNTIL CHRIST REVEALS HIS FAITH. FAITH IS ALWAYS HIDDEN UNTIL IT IS REVEALED.
12. Even Moses’ Faith, nobody had it until Moses appeared on the scene and then revealed his faith.
13. Besides, if you said you believe in Him, you are His disciple and you have it as a duty to pattern after His life. In other words, you are a replica, A CARBON COPY OF HIS LIFE AND OF HIS TESTIMONY.A carbon copy of his life and his testimony.
14. Place Christ, place a Christian, place a believer, place a child of God, no difference.
15. When they saw people that behaved like Him, they immediately identified them. We have come to the point where people can identify us today and say, “Really, they are like their leader.”
16. People that know our leader, our instructor, they know Him, they know His manner of life, they know His doctrine, can they see somebody that said he has believed Him today and say, “In short, without anybody telling me, you are His disciples, you behave like Him?”
17. ONLY ONE CHARACTER WILL BE FOUND IN PARADISE: I am trying to bring back something, that even while we are at Amazu Oil, we were being accused that our Pastor has already put His saliva into our mouth, that we all patterned after our Pastor.
18. That was why End-time Message could not penetrate, for all the families they secretly visited, they were speaking the same thing.
19. When they went to the Pastor, the Pastor will talk to them seriously on that matter. They will visit another person thinking they will convince the person.
20. Finally, when they get there, the same person without consultation will start from the very beginning and then they will be repelled. There, they were accusing us that we are one, at the beginning of the ministry that we are one.
21. It was evident, it was noticed, it was proclaimed far and wide to the point that people heard it in Kaduna and they came down. They said that they have come to see the Church that was making such a noise when we are at Ugwumba.
22. Then the Message went about that there is only one place in the whole Nigeria where End-time is still alive and they are staying at Onitsha.
23. They said that when you get there, the love in their midst alone is enough to move any ministry.
24. Hence, they were flying in and flying out. I am trying to bring out your old record. Moreover, it was this your record that made Me to abide in your midst, it was this your record that caused Me to settle down.
25. However, today we continue to grow in number every day. As we grow in number, we continue to stray away from the original foundation.
26. I heard the voice loud and clear many, many years ago about 1994.
27. They said that when you get there, the love in their midst alone is enough to move any ministry. Hence, they were flying in and flying out. I am trying to bring out your old record. Moreover, it was this your record that made Me to abide in your midst.It was this your record that caused Me to settle down.
28. Our God has come to live among us. He said, “I have come to stay. I am not going out. I have called you my people.”
29. However, today we continue to grow in number every day. As we grow in number, we continue to stray away from the original foundation.
30. We continued losing sight from where we started. We continued to spoil our old record that until today, we have no record again.
31. As if we are trying to rebuild again a demolished structure. How are the mighty fallen! Tell it not in Gath, publish it not on the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.[2 Samuel 1:19-20]
32. At times when I sit down alone in my chair to meditate and cast my mind back, tears will start coming from my eyes. I said, have I not made a mistake of making a stopover with these people?
33. However, I thank God I still have few remaining that are called by My Name, who are trying every day to pattern after Me.
34. Amen! I still have few remaining that are called by My Name.
I am trying to say something now. We have seen that the Bible said that Christ is the author and finisher of our Faith, our Instructor and our Leader. The Bible said, “Look unto Christ the author and finisher of our Faith.”[Hebrews 12:2]. If any man said he is a disciple and he does not pattern after Him, he is deceiving himself. He cannot fit in. He is disapproved on trial.
35. In 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.
36. IF THE DOCTRINE IS ONE, THE FAITH IS ONE, BAPTISM IS ONE, THE LORD IS ONE, PARADISE IS ONE, CHARACTER MUST BE ONE.
37. AFTER ALL, CHARACTER IS YOUR DOCTRINE REFLECTED, FOR YOUR DOCTRINE REFLECTS IN YOUR CHARACTER. NO MAN CAN LIVE A LIFE HIGHER THAN HIS DOCTRINE.
38. IF I HAVE GIVEN YOU DOCTRINE AFTER HOLINESS, SURELY IT MUST REFLECT IN YOUR CHARACTER. IF IN THIS FAITH WE TEACH YOU HOW TO FIGHT, IF IT IS OUR DOCTRINE THAT WE CAN FIGHT OR GO TO COURT OR MAKE TROUBLE WITH ANYBODY OR EVEN GO TO POLICE, SURELY, IT WILL BE REFLECTING IN YOUR CHARACTER.
39. WHATEVER YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE MUST REFLECT. IT IS YOUR DOCTRINE. IT IS YOUR FAITH. WE SEE CHRIST AS OUR EXAMPLE.
40. Second Thessalonians 3:7, “For you well know that you ought to follow our examples, you never saw us loafing…” [LB].
41. In other words, we have seen the Apostles.The word there is us, so the Lord commanded us. Note, the words were Plural! You ought to follow OUR EXAMPLES.
42. We never misbehaved ourselves before you. We never lived disorderly lives. In other words, we have seen another masterpiece.
43. Let me show you what I mean in first Corinthians 11:1, “And you should follow my example just as I follow Christ.” LB.
44. You see, somebody said it vocally that he is talking to you without mincing words that you should follow Him; use Him as your example; for you know Him and you know His manner of life and doctrine. He is your Masterpiece.
45. If now that He is commanding you to follow Him, He is being sent to you as your Teacher, Apostle and Prophet, to open your eyes and make your sacrifices acceptable unto God, which in time past were not acceptable, drawing you away from dumb gods and then to point you to the living and true God, Who is Christ the Anointed One.
46. This man first of all patterned after the Christ, he is the messenger, he was sent to the Gentiles—a tested material. This was the reason why the Galatians Church received him even as Christ.
47. He was the express image, mouthpiece and photograph. If he was not sure, he will not be pointing people to himself.
48. I AM SAYING THAT BELIEVERS OF EVERY DISPENSATION PATTERN AFTER THE MESSENGER OF THAT DISPENSATION.
49. Who is your Masterpiece? When St. Paul appeared on the scene, he did not go to any Bible College to know about Christ.
50. Now we have a Masterpiece. We have an Instructor. We have a Leader. Without a Leader, surely, we will not be in this Faith. You have been in this Faith and be put together because you have been following a leadership, and that leadership has been centred around one man, for God is not the author of confusion.
51. William Branham said that God can never send two messengers on the land at the same time. The emergence of a messenger marks the end of the other one. That one that is fading away can never stay on the scene.
52. THE CAPTAIN OF OUR SALVATION HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE PERFECT: Philippians 3:17 “Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.” KJV
53. “Dear Brothers pattern your life after mine, and notice who else lives up to my example.” LB.
54. Note it, and noticewho else lives up to my example. Birds of the same feather flock together. He, first of all, gave his doctrine which was His life, that was his faith.
55. What St. Paul gave as his doctrine was his life that was his Faith. The doctrine of St. Paul was St. Paul’s life, St. Paul’s Faith, which when people believed they were sanctified by the Faith that was in him. They were sanctified by the Faith that was in him.
56. All that believed William Branham when the Message was still effective, they were all sanctified by the faith that was in Branham. All that believed Martin Luther in his day were sanctified by the faith that was in Martin Luther.
