DO YOU KNOW THAT UNBELIEF TO GOD’S WORD IS A SIGN OF WICKEDNESS? IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE YOUR PARENTS, IS IT NOT A SIGN OF WICKEDNESS? IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE GOD, YOU DO NOT TAKE THE
WORD OF GOD SERIOUS; IT IS A SIGN OF WICKEDNESS.
-SON OF MAN
IF YOU REFUSE GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS YOUR REWARD WILL BE POVERTY AND SHAME. SHAME IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY POVERTY OR POVERTY IS ACCOMPANIED BY SHAME, NO MATTER THE WAY YOU PUT IT. WHY? YOU HAVE REFUSED TO CARRY OUT GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS. IF YOU REFUSE TO OBEY GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS, SHAME AND POVERTY WILL ACCOMPANY YOU. THIS IS THE MIND OF GOD

MAN’S WICKEDNESS AGAINST HIMSELF
The Great Sermon and Holy Spirit Inspired Revelations and Epistles (Revised Edition 2019). Epistle 15, Page 377: verse 6-13.
How can a man born of a woman rise up against his Maker or Creator? It is a very delicate act with dangerous consequences.
God through the prophet proclaimed woe to anybody whether man or woman, that will rise up to strive against his Maker.
Whoever that does that has published his obituary, sang his funeral song attended his burial, etc.
God demands complete obedience and loyalty from all His children. He wants us to recognize His authority over us and also recognize that we are the workmanship of His hands.
By revelation, we should understand that we are ordinary clay in His hands, and He is the Potter. He reserves the right to do whatever pleases Him with us and we cannot ask “Why”?
No man is qualified to question God’s action whether good or bad. He is Almighty because He can do all things without entertaining any question from any being in relation to his actions.
As His workmanship, He expects us to do all things at His word even if we do not understand why.
This is the only way man pleases God, because reasoning the word of God or His instruction will surely produce unbelief or partial obedience.
“Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: For He maketh sore, and bindeth up: He woundeth, and his hands make whole” (Job 5:17 – 18, KJV).
“How enviable the man who God corrects, Oh, do not despise the chastening of the Lord when you sin. For though He wounds, He binds and heals again” (Job 5:17 – 18, LB).
“Many feel offended whenever they are corrected by God. This attitude is very wrong and must be stopped.
If we admit His authority over us, we should feel very happy anytime He corrects us, even if he gives us wounds, He is the one that will bind the Wounds.
He that taught us, surely, has the right to correct us. But when we start striving or rising up against God, we are bound to destroy ourselves, with our own hands due to foolishness and ignorance that is in us.
I wish to warn all the saints in this faith that the time of this ignorance, I have overlooked and now I am calling for a total change of mind and attitude towards the revealed Christ (the Anointed One) in the church in whose faith we are sanctified.
Whoever that hardens his or her heart after reading this Epistle should be ready to bear the consequences.
Let us allow God to melt us, remould us and use us as objects of His praise.
Family Menu. Volume 1. Preached by Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man, 2006. Page 56:20-22. There can never be peace in any family where the wife finds it very difficult to obey her husband’s words quickly and quietly without grumbling and without challenging the man’s words or instruction with the pretext that she is asking him a question.
Believe it if you can; peace is subject to total obedience to a superior authority. Any woman that wants to live in peace in her marital home must of necessity concede and acknowledge her husband’s superiority over her at all times and in all matters.
Nobody challenges or strives or demonstrates against a superior authority and gets away without reprisals from God and her husband.
Page 50:25-27 of the same message. Some women find it very difficult to obey their husband’s words or instructions very quickly and quietly according to the doctrine of Christ and this is a very infectious disease that can contaminate even the children in the family.
This issue of obeying your husband’s instructions or words very reluctantly and sometimes whenever you want to, has always caused your husbands to lose their tempers and shout on you or the children.
In this regard, who should be blamed? There should be no reasonable excuse for any disobedience.
Yes, there should be no reasonable excuse for any disobedience, whether man or woman, whatever he or she is. The wife is like the Bride and the husband like Christ.
The standard set up by the Almighty is that the wife of the man should quickly and quietly obey the husband in all things, totally submit in all things.
This is an analogy—we, the members of the Bride of Christ Ministry owe it as a duty to submit totally to every instruction from Almighty God, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, who doubles as our Father, God, Lord and Husband.
Total allegiance as commanded by Prophet Muhammad, is our only mandate—Yes, it is mandatory! No option! This submission is quickly and quietly.
Anytime we find ourselves not submitting and yielding quickly and quietly with joy in our hearts that Almighty God has counted us worthy putting us into this ministry, it spells doom! King Saul, the first king of Israel did not adhere strictly to the instruction given by the God in his day, Prophet Samuel.
It was disaster to him as we see in the scripture below:
SAUL’S DISOBEDIENCE
1 Sam.13:6-14, LB. When the men of Israel saw the vast mass of enemy troops, they lost their nerve entirely and tried to hide in caves, thickets, coverts, among the rocks, and even in tombs and cisterns.
Some of them crossed the Jordan River and escaped to the land of Gad and Gilead. Meanwhile, Saul stayed at Gilgal, and those who were with him trembled with fear at what awaited them.
Samuel had told Saul earlier to wait seven days for his arrival, but when he still didn’t come, and Saul’s troops were rapidly slipping away, he decided to sacrifice the burnt offering and the peace offerings himself.
But just as he was finishing, Samuel arrived. Saul went out to meet him and to receive his blessing, but Samuel said, “What is this you have done?”
“Well,” Saul replied, “when I saw that my men were scattering from me, and that you hadn’t arrived by the time you said you would, and that the Philistines were at Michmash, ready for battle, I said, ‘The Philistines are ready to march against us and I haven’t even asked for the Lord’s help!’ So I reluctantly offered the burnt offering without waiting for you to arrive.”
“You fool!” Samuel exclaimed. “You have disobeyed the commandment of the Lord your God. He was planning to make you and your descendants kings of Israel forever, but now your dynasty must end; for the Lord wants a man who will obey him.
And he has discovered the man he wants and has already appointed him as king over his people; for you have not obeyed the Lord’s commandment.”
1 Sam. 13:6-14, KJV. When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;
Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel forever.
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.
Saul lost his kingship because he did not stick to the instruction from Samuel who told him to wait.
Saul would have waited as he was told to wait. He did not take God at His Word. Let the above example suffice.

THE CAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE
God said it is not the big things any man or woman has done but the things left undone, are the things that will lead such a person to destruction. Why should there be any lapse?
It is as a result of sheer carelessness. I was careless and busy with carnal obligations – running around for burials and funeral rites of both recent and age-long deaths respectively; occupying myself and giving myself over to these carnal considerations and encumbrances.
That created a very big chance for the devil to rubbish me and mess me up.
The instruction of the Almighty God and the assignment He gave to me, I felt I would face squarely after the running around for those carnal obligations.
I want all the children of God everywhere to learn a big lesson from this and all that have already fortified themselves against such, to strengthen their fortification.
It is a deadly evil, abominable act, wicked act; to fail my God, my Father, my Maker Who has given me life, has been keeping me alive, protecting, guiding, counseling and equipping me with everything this life demands and above it all, assured me of eternal life.
It is indeed suicidal to find oneself in direct opposition with his Maker because he failed to carry out an instruction from his Maker.
The Scriptures, both the Holy Bible and Holy Qur’an are all replete with litany of people who were disobedient to instructions from God.
From the Garden of Eden, we see Adam and Eve not obeying instructions from God.
Gen 3: 1-14 KJV. Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
Why were they disobedient? They were careless with the instruction God gave. The man, Adam received the instruction and passed it over to his wife, Eve.
In the man’s absence, the woman listened to the voice of a stranger, God’s enemy, who had sworn that the man God made in His own image would not obey God even for a day because when God created man, God made man a little lower than the angels and crowned him with glory, giving him dominion over everything God created including that devil.
Gen 1: 27-28, KJV. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Psalm 8: 4-6, KJV. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
Surah 15: 25-41. And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example – that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it.
And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, “What did Allah intend by this as an example?” He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby.
And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient, Who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers.
How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned.
It is He who created for you all of that which is on the earth. Then He directed Himself to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.
And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority.” They said, “Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?”
Allah said, “Indeed, I know that which you do not know.” And He taught Adam the names – all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, “Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful.”
They said, “Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise.” He said, “O Adam, inform them of their names.”
And when he had informed them of their names, He said, “Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed.”
And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam”; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. (Satan) He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
And We said, “O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.”
But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, “Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time.”
Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful. We said, “Go down from it, all of you.
And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance – there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
And those who disbelieve and deny Our signs – those will be companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.”
O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you and fulfill My covenant [upon you] that I will fulfill your covenant [from Me], and be afraid of [only] Me.
And believe in what I have sent down confirming that which is [already] with you, and be not the first to disbelieve in it. And do not exchange My signs for a small price, and fear [only] Me.
Rev 12: 9-12, KJV. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Ezekiel 28: 13-18, KJV. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy taborets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
The devil was cast down from heaven and he started waging war against man.
The Almighty God, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena is very much aware of the devil’s insidious and subtle ways and attacks; hence he has fully equipped us with messages like Be Diligent to Protect your mindset; Resisting the Devil; Temptations and Trials; Do not Listen to the Voice of a Stranger; Beware of Snake Bite and others, to warn us and all in this Glorious Faith to be on the Red Alert and do everything with precision/dispatch. Amen.
IF YOU ARE OFFENDED IN ME, YOU HAVE FULFILLED A DANGEROUS SCRIPTURE. I SHOULD BE A SOURCE OF JOY TO ALL THE ELECT OF GOD. EVEN IF SATAN PINS YOU DOWN FOR MONTHS, ONCE I COME AROUND, THE LIGHT RADIATES. BUT IF YOU SEE ME AND YOU SIGH, I AM A CAUSE OF OFFENSE TO YOU. SO PLEASE, REJOICE EXCEEDINGLY IF YOU KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD.
MY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ME, THE DEVIL WILL TESTIFY AGAINST THIS GENERATION. PAGE 111 VS 14

DELAY IS DANGEROUS
After all, He (Almighty God) has told us that we are in injury time since 2001. That the time we are going to spend is determined by the referee.
The referee can stop the match anytime as long as he gets what he wants, that the whistle can go off at the time we are trying to level up.
YOU ARE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BUT ONE THING REMAINETH, VOLUME 1. Page 19 verses 3-5.
We thank God for everything. The old calendar terminated by the year 2000. One day above 2000 belongs to the LORD. It does not belong to you.
It is in His hands to determine how long He will carry it. Every extra time is the referee’s time. True or false?
Extra time does not belong to any team. It belongs to the referee. You do not know how many hours or minutes he is allowing you. He can collect the ball anytime.
Once he sees the sign of a win or a draw, he collects the ball. You cannot ask him why. But how do you know when he is about to terminate the whole thing?
It might be when you are trying to level up with your opponents. You see him moving towards one corner of the pitch.
This should send shivers down our spines because God says what He means and means what He says.
In other words, I should be very careful with the Word, with the instruction from the Almighty and if there be any time I err, I should quickly run back, falling prostrate because I do not know when He will slam the door closed.
This is very important. It makes me see why I should never allow anything to come in between me and my Father, my God, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena.
1 John 5: 21, LB. Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. Amen.
PROCRASTINATION IS THE KILLER OF GOOD IDEAS, WHETHER SPIRITUAL OR PHYSICAL. I AM TAKING PARTICULAR NOTE OF THIS AND AT THE SAME TIME, ADMONISHING ALL MY BRETHREN, WHEREVER YOU ARE, TO PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THIS.
GOD MEANS WHAT HE SAYS AND SAYS WHAT HE MEANS. HE DOES NOT JOKE BECAUSE HE OBEYS WHATEVER HE SAYS. I MEAN THAT THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE SON OF MAN WORSHIPS, OBEYS HIMSELF, HE WORSHIPS HIMSELF, HE PRAISES HIMSELF.
Deut 32: 39-41, KJV. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
ISLAMIC CONNECTION TO THE SON OF MAN (ISA) INTRODUCTION preached 4th November, 2018. Page 6 verse 8. I wanted to show you another side of the Son of Man, that I AM the Self-Existing One who worship Himself. For when there was none to worship Him, He lifted His hands towards the sky and said, “I live forever.”
He does not allow the Word that has come out of His mouth to linger, to delay.
ISLAMIC CONNECTION TO THE SON OF MAN (ISA) INTRODUCTION preached 4th November, 2018. Page 4 verse 3. The hour is gone when you were thinking that My words will delay, because of that you will be postponing that which you ought to do.
Before you know it, all you heard with your ears, you will fulfill to the letter: either positively or negatively.
Once He utters it, the power in the Word is put into action and that Voice is obeyed by God Himself Who has uttered the Word.
Because God obeys Himself, He expects that all His children should obey Him with precision. God obeys Himself. Right from the beginning, God has been obeying Himself. In Genesis, God created everything with the Word of His Mouth.
Gen 1:1-4, KJV. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:1-4, LB. When God began creating the heavens and the earth, the earth was a shapeless, chaotic mass, with the Spirit of God brooding over the dark vapors.
Then God said, “Let there be light.” And light appeared. And God was pleased with it and divided the light from the darkness. He called the light “daytime,” and the darkness “nighttime.” Together they formed the first day
Gen 1:1-4, AMP. In the beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness.
When God said “Let there be light,” there was light. When God said, let there be light, He obeyed Himself and brought light into existence.
God obeyed that command He gave. He obeyed His Words quickly. Because He obeyed Himself immediately, the power in that spoken Word caused the light to come into existence.
This is because there is power in the spoken Word.
Isaiah 52:6, LB. Therefore I will reveal my name to my people, and they shall know the power in that name. Then at last they will recognize that it is I, yes, I, who speaks to them.
The power in the Word of God is powerful. The power of God is in His Word for the Name of God is The Word of God.
Rev 19:13, KJV. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
This Word of God which is the Name of God is full of power to save, power to create, power to deliver, power to obey, power to overcome, power to uphold all that God wants upheld.
Therefore, whenever the Lord speaks, this spoken Word is full of power and once this Word is obeyed, the power in that Word is put into action.
You are not far from the kingdom of heaven but one thing remaineth. Page 89:19. For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh.
Heb 4:12, LB. For whatever God says to us is full of living power: it is sharper than the sharpest dagger, cutting swift and deep into our innermost thoughts and desires with all their parts, exposing us for what we really are.
God therefore spoke and obeyed Himself, carried out His own instruction and so there appeared light.
Today, God, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena speaks and obeys Himself whenever He speaks.
The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Great Mahdi, The Sovereign Spirit in Human Flesh, is the same LORD GOD ALMIGHTY from the very beginning.
He obeyed Himself in creating everything He created. Christ, the Son of Man, Almighty God in Human Flesh, He is still obeying Himself till now. That is why He is recreating human beings, making them anew with this Word.
2 Cor. 5:17, KJV. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Cor. 5:17, LB. When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!
2 Cor. 5:17, AMP. Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!
Col. 1:27, KJV. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
This quality of God obeying Himself is what I have watched and fully found out even as He revealed to it to me.
THIS IS WHERE I AM VERY GUILTY AND I HAVE TAKEN MY STAND NEVER TO FAIL TO PATTERN AFTER MY FATHER, THE SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
I HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF NOT OBEYING MYSELF AND I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT BECAUSE I DO NOT OBEY MYSELF, IT BECOMES EASY AND A LIGHT MATTER FOR ME (AND ANYBODY AT ALL) NOT TO CARRY OUT INSTRUCTIONS IMMEDIATELY I RECEIVE THEM FROM THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE SON OF MAN.
I would plan to do something, yet I find myself not obeying myself. This is not the manner of Almighty God.
The Almighty God has in His mercy and love, opened my eyes to see where my MAJOR PROBLEM IS, “It is in my not being obedient to myself”, and anybody that is not obedient to himself will definitely find it difficult to obey anybody outside himself, including God Himself.
It is not that he will say “no” to the Word of God, instruction from God, but to carry it out with precision may not be easy for him or her.
This is because he is not used to obeying himself quickly and quietly.
God in the beginning, in creation, obeyed Himself. Today, God is obeying Himself when He speaks.
If the Son of Man says He will be in a meeting in a place at a particular time, watch Him, He will be there even before the stipulated time. That is His life. He obeys Himself.
All these messages of life The Almighty God, Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man is giving us, He has obeyed all and is still obeying all His Words.
He is obeying Himself. He has never given us any message He has not obeyed.
That is why He has told us to watch Him closely to see Him obeying that message He has given us which we are finding difficult to obey.
Hence, He has given us messages like Learn of Me; Pattern Your Life After Mine; Take My Yoke; Follow Me As I Follow Him; Imitate Me; Lean Not on Your Own Understanding, etc.
I am very grateful to Almighty God for opening my eyes to this single BIG ERROR in my life—Not obeying myself.
That is why when I looked into my life to find out what happened to me that I did not carry out the instruction given to me specifically by God as I was needed to do, I marveled at myself because I could not attribute the delay to anything.
I could not imagine myself not carrying it out with precision but it pleased the Almighty God, The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, as I was searching my life, weeping, pleading for pardon and restoration, He dropped this revelation in my heart, that I have not been obeying myself and as such, the nature of obeying quickly with precision is not made manifest in me.
Then because I have not been obeying myself, I find it difficult obeying my Father quickly.
Brethren, this is hundred percent truth. God is all Knower, all Discerner! I looked into my life and I discovered this is pure truth.
I have on many occasions planned to do a number of things, but to my surprise, I have seen myself not accomplishing them at the time expected, because I did not obey myself as God obeys Himself.
OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH GIVES YOU JOY BECAUSE YOU HAVE REASONED VERY WELL, YOU UNDERSTOOD IT, YOU WEIGHED THE BENEFITS, YOU WEIGHED THE DISADVANTAGES, YOU WEIGHED EVERYTHING, AND YOU RECEIVED YOUR OWN PERSONAL IMPACT. WHY? IT IS NECESSARY THAT I MUST OBEY BECAUSE I AM THE SOLE BENEFICIARY. SO, IT IS NOT COMPLIANCE.
ARE YOU COMPLYING WITH OR OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD, PREACHED 20TH NOV 2016 PAGE 30 VS 10

LET US LEARN TO OBEY OURSELVES
ITHANK ALMIGHTY GOD IMMENSELY FOR OPENING MY EYES TO THIS TRUTH AND I HAVE MADE MY CONSECRATION TO STAND UP AND LINE UP BEHIND THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA IN EVERYTHING, EVEN AS HE HAS ALWAYS DESIRED ME TO.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I CANNOT PROCEED FROM GOD AND NOT MANIFEST THE EXACT LIFE OF GOD.
I CANNOT PROCEED FROM GOD, HAVE THE GENE OF GOD AND REFUSE TO MANIFEST ALL THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD.
MORE SO WHEN GOD HAS TAUGHT ME ALL THESE YEARS. IT IS A MUST FOR THAT IS THE EVIDENCE THAT I AM FROM GOD, THAT I AM HIS SON WHO WILL LIVE ETERNALLY WITH MY FATHER.
OUTSIDE BEING LIKE HIM, OUTSIDE LIVING LIKE HE LIVES, I CANNOT BE WITH HIM ETERNALLY AND THIS APPLIES TO EVERYBODY THAT IS IN THIS FAITH OF THE SON OF MAN, ALMIGHTY GOD, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA.
1 John 3:2-3, KJV. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Yes, dear friends, we are already God’s children, right now, and we can’t even imagine what it is going to be like later on.
But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him, as a result of seeing him as he really is.
And everyone who really believes this will try to stay pure because Christ is pure.
1 John 3:2-3, AMP. Beloved, we are [even here and] now God’s children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [as God’s children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He [really] is.
And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).
Almighty God has appeared and has been with us or rather, has brought us to Himself and has been here with us, for He has come to stay.
He is guiltless; He is pure, and faultless. As a result, I must look like Him in every aspect of this life, coming close to Him, learning of Him and patterning after Him.
This is a must for every child of God.
1 John 2:6, KJV. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
1 John 2:6, LB. Anyone who says he is a Christian should live as Christ did.
1 John 2:6, AMP. Whoever says he abides in Him ought [as a personal debt] to walk and conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted Himself.
It is my duty and responsibility to pattern after the Almighty. It is an obligation that must be carried out to the letter. It is a natural thing.
A child should behave like his father. It should even be effortless as long as the seed of God is in him. He must have the nature of God.
So brethren, for some months and some weeks now, Almighty God, The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena has been indicting, rebuking, lamenting my, [Apostle Luke Ojiakor’s] failure to come up with what He asked me to do.
He gave me a topic to write on as far back as 25th May, 2020. I failed to submit this write up at the time Almighty expected me to submit it.
Rather I was running up and down for carnal matters, burials, etc. It is a shameful thing on my side.
God is right, I am wrong. At a time, I told members of my family that if God destroyed me, He was right.
I bow my knees before the Almighty, thanking Him for His unique forbearance, His unique patience and long-suffering on me.
I am not exaggerating brethren, I know it very well that Almighty God loves me extremely, I know it very well.
That is why the wound, the pain, is very much because nothing is as painful, hurting, as love. But in His Name (Word), such will never be found in me anymore.
Brethren, please, please let us all learn to obey ourselves then obeying God in all things will be very easy for us.
Obeying ourselves is obeying He that is in us, inspiring us to do good.
From the message, “YOU ARE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BUT ONE THING REMAINETH. Volume 1.” Preached on Sunday, 15th December, 2019, by Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man.
Page 53:30-31. But is He there? Is He there? Is the soul of a Man in Him? Which doctor has ever separated the soul from the body or replaced the soul in a body.
I HAVE HEARD EVERYTHING BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT SOUL TRANSPLANT. AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES A MAN A LIVING BEING.
YOU ARE NOT IN CHRIST UNTIL THIS UNSEEN LIVING BEING DWELLS IN YOU, CONTROLLING YOU, DIRECTING YOU AND DICTATING EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, UNTIL HE BECOMES YOUR ENGINE ROOM. AMEN.
Page 98:42-49. THE WORD OF GOD IS SETTLED IN THE HEARTS OF ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD, BUT NO DOCTOR CAN OPERATE A CHILD OF GOD AND SEE THE WORD.
BUT THE WORD IS THERE. THERE IS NO CHILD OF GOD THAT DOES NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE WORD THAT IS IN HIS HEART.
THE WORD SPEAKS TO YOU AND YOU SPEAK TO THE WORD. SOMETIMES, YOU ENTER INTO ARGUMENT WITH THE WORD, IN YOUR HEART.
THE WORD INDICTS. THE WORD CORRECTS. THE WORD QUERIES. THE WORD DOES EVERYTHING.
WHY? IT IS BECAUSE THE WORD IS ACTIVE AND ALIVE IN YOU. IT HAS FORMED A DEFINITE FORM. THAT IS THE REASON IT CAN ASK YOU WHY.
YOU CAN TELL PEOPLE LIES BUT YOU CAN NEVER TELL LIES TO HE THAT IS DWELLING IN YOU, IF YOU ARE A SEED OF GOD. TRUE OR FALSE?
THAT IS WHY, BEFORE YOU RECEIVE CONDEMNATION, HE HAS ALREADY CONDEMNED YOU. HE HAD ALREADY PASSED JUDGMENT. TRUE OR FALSE?
WHY? HE HAD ALREADY FORMED A DEFINITE FORM WHICH NO DOCTOR OR RESEARCHER CAN SEE, BUT HE IS THERE.
HE CAN FLOG YOU TO THE POINT WHERE YOU WILL BE WEEPING AND CRYING, PASSING SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. YOU ARE UNDER HIS TORMENT. TORMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING IN YOU.
THEN, YOU KNOW THAT A BEING IS ALREADY IN YOU WHO CONTROLS, WHO CHECKS, WHO EXPOSES, WHO MONITORS, WHO ADMONISHES.
THAT IS WHY, ONCE YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD, YOU HAVE NO NEED THAT ANY MAN SHOULD BE PUSHING YOU ABOUT, FOR ONCE HE IS WITH YOU THERE, THE MATTER IS SETTLED.
TELL ME WHERE YOU WILL GO WITHOUT CARRYING HIM ABOUT. THAT PLACE DOES NOT EXIST.
A child of God is having the Word in Him. The Word is a Being—See the Being in the Being.
He is the Original Body. And He says once He is in me, all my thoughts, imaginations, reasoning, etc, will be controlled by Him.
As a result, when I plan to do a thing, that plan is already directed by He that is in Me, The Word, The Being (Original Body) and so my obeying myself is obeying He in me and that is God.
This is where the conscience works for that conscience is where God speaks in us. Of course, the devil speaks there too.
Obeying our consciences that are habited by God, His Word is obeying God. I have learnt it in a hard way.
Brethren please, let us be sober, allow God, His Word control and speak in our hearts, obey ourselves quickly as we plan it and this definitely will enable us to quickly obey direct instruction from God with precision.
All that have had this horrible experience in time past would understand me more while I implore all others to please cultivate this habit of obeying themselves and thereby, obeying God quickly and quietly.
Do you know that the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, Almighty God, does not crack jokes? He means what He says and says whatever He means.
This is because He is bound to obey every Word He speaks. That is why also, He has told us that we should try never to do a thing that will provoke Him to say an unpleasant Word because once such a Word comes out of His mouth, it will be obeyed and it may be calamitous.
This is because it is the same Jehovah that spoke at the beginning and obeyed all He spoke, brought everything into existence.
He is here, among us, to stay. This is the Son of Man, the Merciful, Compassionate, Loving, Patient, Understanding, and Ever-forgiving God who is very rich in mercy and at the same time, a Consuming fire; The Judge of the whole earth.
To Him be the Glory, Honour, Thanksgiving, Majesty, Adoration, Dominion till eternity through His Holy Name CHRIST our LORD. AMEN!!!
A GENTILE THAT OBEYED HIMSELF AND GOD
Luke 7: 1-9, KJV. Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
The Centurion that sent men to Jesus Christ asking Him to come and heal his servant. While He was not far from the house of the centurion, the Centurion pleaded with Jesus Christ, asking Him to speak the Word and His servant would be healed because he himself was a man in authority who could say to any of those under him, “do this” and he does and to another one, “do this” and he does it.
As such Jesus Christ should simply speak the Word and His servant should be made whole. This man believed in the power of the Spoken Word of Jesus Christ.
Yet, because of the faith, obedience he had before the Lord – first based on his own experience in his obeying his own words – he was obeying his own instructions.
He had been obeying himself and his servants were equally obeying him. The Lord Jesus then marveled at the Centurion’s faith and instantly sent the Word and His Word healed the servant.
Brethren, this small piece is my personal experience I decided to share with us.
WE MUST BE LIKE OUR GOD WHO OBEYS EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF HIS MOUTH AND SINCE HE OBEYS HIMSELF INSTANTLY, HE EXPECTS YOU AND ME TO INSTANTLY OBEY EVERY WORD, EVERY INSTRUCTION FROM HIS MOUTH.
Imagine the Centurion who obeyed himself, his servants obeyed him and so, he had that faith in Jesus Christ that the same way those servants under him were obedient to him, all that were created by Christ would also be obedient to the Words of Christ and it happened!
So, it is a must that every one of us recognizes this divine order. Christ has created and recreated us. His Word, His instruction must hold sway over all of us instantly. We are bound to obey quickly and quietly naturally for we are from God
On this note, I say Remain blessed in HIM eternally.
