ARE YOU SURE AND CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE IN THE NUMBER SAVED BY GOD’S ELECTION OF GRACE? Volume 1 of 3 Preached ON Sunday, 19th March 2023 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY

Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN The Real Teaching Priest

Transcribed by Deacon David Mbah Students’ Fellowship, MOUAU, Abia State

A true seed of God does not follow miracles, signs and wonders. But these things follow the believer. A sure sign that you have believed. However, the greatest sign is the Super Sign. And that is the sign of the Son of Man – God en-Morphe, walking on two feet in the midst of the Bride. ….… …I know I am your Kinsman Redeemer, but how many believe in Me to the saving of their souls? You can believe in Me as your Brother. You can believe in Me as an Apostle. You can believe in Me as a Son of God, but to believe Me as the Elohim, the Saviour, the Redeemer, the all and all, in whom dwelleth the fullness of the God head bodily, this is only by divine revelation. Only those that are given to believe this can believe it. The rest will not.

INTRODUCTION

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, here we come this day into Your own holy Sanctuary revealed in our day, not outside that Sanctuary. We are right inside that Sanctuary made without hands, which you have revealed to us [O God] to be our Indestructible Asylum.
Therein we have taken our refuge this day. Therein we pray also that every Elect of God worldwide that has recognized [O God] the presence of this revealed Sanctuary [Tabernacle] should find their places [Father] inside that Tabernacle this day, even those that are still in their mothers’ wombs.
May they take refuge inside this Tabernacle this day, for what lies ahead of us is so grievous that no flesh will survive it, except those you have chosen by election of grace, of which we believe that we are in the number.
Otherwise, You would not be revealing all these things that are marvelous in our eyes to us. Things that are [Father] incredible to mortal men, happening in our midst.
We believe it is to confirm our faith in You. The whole supernatural Signs and the whole infallible Signs and evidences are with us [Father]. Even the Resurrected Body is revealed in our midst, in Whose hands lieth the judgment of the living and the dead, in Whom [O God] You have conferred absolute authority over all flesh.
We are a privileged people [Father] to receive this wonderful gift; this wonderful visitation. We are [O God] a blessed generation indeed.
We say, THANK YOU LORD, for all these things are happening, not because of our righteousness and not because of anything good we have done, for of all men [Father] we are the least esteemed.
And we believe [O God] that we are the chiefest of all the disobedient people on earth, but Your love and mercy projected towards us. And today, we are counted worthy to be called Your sons and daughters because of what You decided to accomplish in our lives for us. That which we could not do, You have done it for us at last.
That is the basis of our rejoicing. We are rejoicing that we are no longer going to hell. While we live, we live for You. While we die, we die for You. We have a hope of a better resurrection. Our eternal hope is fixed and that is Paradise, where we dwell with You eternally.
You will be our God and we will be Your sons and daughters. And the journey has started already here with You. May You never leave us behind O God. On that day when this journey shall be completed, may we be there [O God] with You.
Let there be nothing that will make You to reject us. If there be anything like that traceable to us, while we live with You, reveal it to us and help us [Father] to get rid of it. We do not want to have any difficulty on the way.
We pray Thee [O God] to brighten our way as we journey with You. All our Patriarchs who walked with You were declared perfect. And now, we are walking with You. What a privilege we are enjoying, that in the end, we shall be proclaimed perfect in Your eyes Let it be according to our belief. Let it be according to our plea for Your Name sake.
This morning, we pray Thee O God, revive us. Revive our mortal souls. Open our eyes of understanding. Give us listening ears and believing hearts [Father].
As we go through the Scriptures, the ancient writings You preserved for us that we do not perish, grant that we will have perfect understanding. Create it in us where it does not exist, that there be full harmony in the midst of Your children, even those that are worshipping in distant lands; those that have embraced You [Father] in the websites. They are inclusive because they heard Your Voice, for they had already walked and talked with You. They were with You when the world was without form. They were there serving You as angels.
You were the One that forced them to enter the human sperm and be born among human beings. Hence, they forgot all their experiences completely.
And now O God, they are coming back to You. It is not that they are willing to come back. You are the one forcing them to come back. Complete that which is lacking in our lives, and restore us to our former estate where we lived with You in Paradise as angels, spotless and immaculate in Thy sight, without wrinkle or blemish. And that is exactly [O God] our target.
By the Word we are going to hear today, help us to recognize who we are. Help us to recognize our positions in You so that from now henceforth, evil will not be mentioned around us.
We say, THANK YOU this morning. Create no room for the devil to tempt our hearts away. All his false anointing, we resist.
Whosoever You will use to minister to us, Father, fill him with the earnestness of Thy Holy Spirit, and let him speak like Your oracle.
As we bow down in respect and in reverence to receive this engrafted Word which is able to save our souls and to give us a place among those that are sanctified by the Faith of Christ, we pray Thee [O God], let there be no distraction.
Let there be nobody who will fall asleep while the Message is on. Let there be nobody who will be dozing while the Message is on except those that have been ordained to go that way.
Father we say once again, we appreciate You. We will ever remain grateful to You for saving us from this untoward generation.
Thank you for hearing our prayers which we have made on our behalf and on the behalf of all Your children scattered all over the world. Receive our praise and thanksgiving as we do that which is right in Your sight, Father for Your Name’s sake we pray. Amen.

We do not beg you to come into our midst. We do not beg anybody. That is why we do not go about preaching. We do not make noise on the street; You cannot see Me on television preaching. You cannot hear My Voice on radio. You cannot see Me in the newspaper. Never never. I am strict with My Commission. Do you want to see Me? You come to His Church for Heaven must hold Him hostage until the restitution of all things. You err not knowing the Scripture or the power of God. That is why, even from this day, if you like, come; If you like, do not come.

THE SON OF MAN

FOLLOW THE CLOUD (EVIDENCE THAT THE SON OF MAN IS THE ELOHIM) VOL. 2; Preached in the cool of the evening of Thursday 14^th September 2003 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 95 vs. 30 – 32

WORSHIPPING GOD IS A STRICT BUSINESS

Be seated. Oftentimes, we bewitch ourselves and attribute it to the devil. There is a way you will enjoy the breeze from the fan, and before you know it, you will be dozing. This is because the moment the body becomes cool more than it should, the next thing will be that you fall asleep.

Another way we bewitch ourselves is through mind-wandering. When the Message of God is going forth, every worshipper who is usually in attendance to the Fellowship places him or herself in the position of the preacher or the Teacher or the Pastor. If you do not place yourself in his position, you are a passive listener. You are aiding the devil to bewitch you with sleeping spirit.
Another way you aid the devil to bewitch you is by the way you sit down during worship period – during the Fellowship. If you sit at ease as if you are in your restroom, definitely, you have invited sleep. Your mind will wander away from whatever that is coming out from the sacred desk.
But if you are with the preacher, you are in the spirit of the Message and you believe the Message is directed to you as an individual. The impact the Message is creating in you will always set your mind meditating and thinking seriously about yourself and not about any other thing, because the life of your soul is at stake.
I have read too many ancient manuscripts before you. And privately, I have read too many. When I was going through the dead sea scrolls, too many things flashed across my mind concerning you.
And let it be known to you that whatever you read spiritually with every amount of godly seriousness in the day informs your dream in the night; informs your meditations in the night.
This is because often times, your dreams are as a result of the thoughts you expressed in the day, interactions you had with people in the day and then the imaginations of your heart.
That is why only a few can have spiritual dreams. The rest are carnal dreams prompted by carnal discussions in the day – carnal things and vainglory.
Worshipping God is a strict business.
It takes a lazy student to sleep in the lecture hall [in the classroom] while the teacher is standing and is teaching. It takes a lazy student; a foolish one, who is only there to while away his time to be sleeping when others are striving and struggling to grasp as much as they can grasp from the lecturer, knowing that the moment they miss it, they have missed it.
They recognize that it is the essence of their coming to school. The very essence of their paying school fees is to acquire that knowledge he is imparting on them.
Foolish ones that have come to while away their time will be talking and jesting, and playing, paying little or no attention to the teacher. Oftentimes, they assume they have known it all, but in every examination, they will either fail or come last.
Watch all serious-minded students. As long as the teacher is there, his eyes are flickering. The eyes are there to capture. The ears are there to capture. The mind is set.
Then finally, there is something in the mindset. The way you adjust your mind determines the way you will react. That is why I gave you a message that you should be diligent to protect your mindset [Preached on 15^th and 22^nd of April 2007 at Onitsha].
If you do not set your mindset very well, your life is in danger. The way you adjust your mindset determines the extent you are going to grasp everything your teacher is teaching.
If you have adjusted your mindset that you must have your fair share of that subject; you want to master that subject; you would not like to fail that subject, for that subject is very important to your career, anybody who is by your side talking is a distraction you cannot accommodate.
Anybody who is by your side snoring and sleeping, truly speaking is another distraction which you cannot accommodate by your side. Instead of accommodating that person, you will change your location or change your position because you are desirous of achieving the best.
You do not know why the person came to waste his parents’ money and to waste his time, but you have come to achieve something because your greatness starts from that day and your failure starts from that day.
If you can grasp what he is saying, your future becomes brighter. Miss it, your future is bleak. That is why people come out from the school only to begin to regret the foolish ways they acted, thinking they were helping the teacher.
You are not doing the teacher a service by paying attention to what he is teaching. The teacher is the one sacrificing his life for money to impart the knowledge into you. He wants you to be a teacher like himself.
The same way the LORD Jesus Christ, being the perfect Teacher, took out time to teach from place to place, having one aim which is that His followers should be like Him from here. There was no other aim except that he that is taught will one day be a teacher.
That was why saint Paul was upbraiding the Corinthian church that while they ought to be teachers, they still have need that people should continue to teach them, even the first oracles of God, the foundation, the basics.
Somebody will begin to teach you to repent, change your mind, follow the truth, stop sleeping, stop doing this and stop doing that.
Sleeping while a business is on is a depiction of lack of interest. It is a sign of unbelief. You do not believe in the person and you do not also believe in the information he is passing across.
For that reason, he is wasting your time, and the best attitude towards it is sleeping. That is all!
The worst is sleeping and pretending to be awake. Your eyes may be open, even when you are sleeping. True or false?
You see your eyes looking very drowsy. You know actually that the brain has slept and the mind has slept, but the eyes are still open because of fear; but everything is stiffened, for you are no longer a human being there. You are in another world. I do not want anybody to be in another fantasy world. I want us to be here today.
Remember! You are the beneficiaries of My leave. My leave is about to terminate and you do not know the way it is going to terminate.
Some thought that going on leave means travelling out from [may be] My location and pitching tent with another Local Assembly. But up till now, they are yet to get the right interpretation of what I meant by observing My leave which will terminate exactly on May 01, 2023.
Although I labelled it a working leave, but whatever made it a working leave, they are yet to understand. Nobody has ever met Me idling away My time like that. No! Even if I stay here without anybody, I am here with God. It affords Me ample opportunity to travel as much as I could.
So, this morning, I welcome all of you to His Sanctuary, but be sure of one thing. The LORD Jesus Christ made a very powerful statement which many could not comprehend. Even till this day, that statement is still powerful in the minds and hearts of His true believers.
HE THAT IS NOT GATHERING IS SCATTERING. HE THAT IS NOT BUILDING IS PULLING DOWN. HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME.
How I wish you can put it down. At the end of the day, you go to the Scriptures in the gospel according to saint Matthew and find it there.
HE THAT IS NOT GATHERING IS SCATTERING. HE THAT IS NOT BUILDING IS PULLING DOWN. HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME.
As long as you are sleeping while I am talking, it is a sign that you are against Me. You are not with Me. If you are chatting or your mind is wandering while I am talking to you, you are not with Me.
As long as you are the author of confusion and object of provocation, you are not gathering. You are scattering because, if by your character, you are breaking the bond of unity and the spiritual harmony that is existing in our midst, it then means that you are scattering.
If by your character, people are blaspheming the Faith, you are pulling down the building. You are no longer building up the Faith. Rather, you are pulling it down.
So, by your character, you can pull down the Faith before many people. By your character, you may be scattering instead of gathering. By your character and your attitude, you may be one million miles away from the Master.
So, this morning, I want us to be one according to the Message we received during our Family altar yesterday. I visited you in another way.
A Message that had to be our Family Message became Onitsha Message. Before we know it, it will be a global Message. I know My reasons why I made it Onitsha Message. I wanted you to settle the Message first, Onitsha second and the entire world, last.

God has given us victory. If you have no faith now, have faith in the Living Tabernacle that God has ordained His Shepherd that will guard His Ark. The Ark of God is the Word of God.

THE SON OF MAN

JERUSALEM TO JERICHO; Preached on Tuesday 9^th March 1993 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 40 vs. 10

SEE! THE HOME OF GOD

IS AMONG MEN

My experiences last night prompted My coming here to the pulpit this morning. And I will read one Scripture I have been reading even right from Amazu Oil. I want everybody to have a copy of the Bible in His hand and be ready to read. It is not just having, but be ready to read at My command.

Let us bow down again as we reverence the reading of the Word.

PRAYER

Our LORD and our God, You preserved Your Word that we will not perish. We know the Word is not in a book, but in a Man. Whatever we are reading from a book is a reminder, but the present hour is in the Tabernacle here. We have come with our ears and our hearts open to receive Your engrafted Word.
Help us O God, to be sincere to our consciences, to behave rightly and turn our hearts in the right direction with a view to grasping [O God] the meaning of Your Word to us as individuals.
For Your Name’s sake O LORD we pray. Amen.
I am not going to scream. Neither am I going to shout. Even if I am being led, I will try to control My Spirit.
Let us, first of all, open it with the book of Revelation because we sang “Unto the LORD shall the Gathering of His people be”. We sang, “We have gathered in the presence of the LORD to give Him praise and to give Him glory for His wonderful works”. We equally went further to sing that “Into God’s Sanctuary, we have come to worship Him. With adoration and praise, we magnify His Holy Name”.
And in spite of the Message I gave at Amazu Oil years back entitled, “THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS AMOMNG MEN”, how I wish Brethren will go for those Messages to know whether they were transcribed. If they were not transcribed, let us know how we could get them. This is because to reproduce them now, will be a difficult task for Me.
THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS AMONG MEN. And I gave you the meaning of Tabernacle, both the scriptural meaning and the dictionary meaning.
Meaning of TABERNACLE: [A] Merriam-Webster dictionary [www.merriam-webster.com]: a house of worship, specifically a large TENT for evangelical services [2a] A TENT sanctuary used by the Israelites during the Exodus. [2b] A dwelling place. [2c] A temporary shelter: TENT. Verb: Tabernacled/Tabernacling – To take up a temporary residence, especially to inhabit a physical body. Synonyms: Church, Temple.
Genesis 1:27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. KJV.
John 1:1, 14. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ……. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. KJV
Hebrews 2:14. ^[14]Since we, God’s children, are human beings—made of flesh and blood—he became flesh and blood too by being born in human form; for only as a human being could he die and in dying break the power of the devil who had the power of death. LB
1 Corinthians 6:19. Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own, KJV
2 Corinthians 5:1. ^[1]For we know that when this tent we live in now is taken down—when we die and leave these bodies—we will have wonderful new bodies in heaven, homes that will be ours forevermore, made for us by God himself and not by human hands. KJV
Now, I want us to read the Book of Revelations chapter twenty-one, from verse one through six. I will read only but two or three translations, notably Amplified version of the Bible, Living Bible. MSG [The Message Bible] will be ordinary reference.
If you know where you will stay and feel comfortable; if it means taking My seat, go there where there will be enough illumination.
I do not want any staccato sound. Whatever you want to read, look at that word, pronounce it as it is written and give the information. No distortion of truth. Read as it is written.
Do not be in a haste. We are not pursuing anybody. Nobody is pursuing us. God has given us this Studio; this Place where His presence [I mean] has been fully established.
If we remain here till the next world, nobody will ask us to go. Nobody will say we are disturbing him or her. So, be at peace with yourself first. Do not read to impress Me or to impress anybody. Read it as an act of worship.
And if you are serving Me with microphone, make sure I have a new battery and standby microphones here, which if any breaks down, I will pick the other. I did not say you should collect the one the reader is using. Package microphones here for Me.
It will save you the trouble. Instead of making noise with the loud speaker because you want to collect a microphone and change the battery, I will simply pick one while you continue working on the one that is declared dead.
Today is the most important day in the life of every Elect of God. And I know that I am here to fight a battle. And that battle is a battle within and with the very evil spirits that govern the universe. Do not allow yourself to be used as an instrument by those evil spirits to distort the few words I will speak today.
If you want to change the battery, change it.
I repeat. Revelation 21:1-6 only. Amplified version.¹THEN I saw a new sky (heaven) and a new earth, for the former sky and the former earth had passed away (vanished), and there no longer existed any sea.
There no longer existed anything called sea. S-E-A.
²And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, all arrayed like a bride beautified and adorned for her husband;
All arrayed, dressed like a bride and beautified. So, the Bride has beauty. The Bride wears the costliest array; the costliest dress. And that is the full Word of God – the full incorruptible Word of God.
³Then I heard a Mighty Voice from the Throne and I perceived its distinct words,… No mistakes there. I perceived the distinct Words that emanated from God’s Throne.
…and I perceived its distinct words,saying,… First, it was a Mighty Voice. Secondly, It became a Message. Very distinct Message saying, …
…See! The abode of God is with men,… See! Everybody – both human beings and angels. The Home of God, the abode of God, the dwelling place of God is now among men. It is no longer any other place. It has relocated if it were somewhere in the blues. Nobody should be gazing at the sky anymore.
…and He will live… And He [God] will live where?…(encamp, tent) among them;… God will live, encamp among human beings. Oh no! God will live [encamp, tent] among human beings here on earth.
The Tabernacle of God, the abode of God, the Home of God, the dwelling place of God has moved from where it was, just like the Cloud moved away from the Cherub and then hung on the doorpost. From the door post, it encircled a human being.
The Cloud is no longer somewhere in the blues. The Cloud is now among men. And the Cloud is the One that leads to God. Then, God is now among men.
If you miss today, you have missed all. Missing today does not mean being here or not being here. If you are here and you are absent minded, or anywhere you are today and you hear My Voice but you play fool of it, you have missed it all, for today is the last day you have to know exactly your fate. The next thing will be the fulfilment.
…The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people,…
Remember, it was a prophecy. THEY SHALL. Future. They shall be God’s own people, for God cannot dwell among a people that do not belong to Him. I do not know whether you are hearing Me.
And all these people must be people that were afore ordained, selected and chosen by God to receive His Parousia – His advent.
The Bible said that when the LORD Jesus Christ resurrected from death, He went straight to Jerusalem and was received by five hundred people who were aforetime ordained and chosen by God to be the people that will say to Him, “You are welcome!” The rest were blinded. When the five hundred went about sharing their experiences and saying, “He is risen”, nobody believed.
And he appeared to another group of over five thousand. Saint Peter testified, “of which many had died”, but a good number of them were still alive even till the day he was talking to them.
All that the LORD had done in our midst from 1990 till now, there are too many of us who are still alive, holding unto the Faith and who can testify, “We were there. And we have been following the trend of events.”
Too many have died. And too many have backslidden. But as many of us as have been sustained by the mighty hand of God, is it not amazing grace? It is amazing grace upholding us till today. We are living to share the testimony, our experiences and our encounter with Him.
THIS IS BECAUSE EVERY ENCOUNTER WITH GOD LEAVES A DEFINITE EXPERIENCE BEHIND.
There is no encounter; a serious encounter anybody has with even with fellow human beings that does not leave an indelible experience behind. And experience that lingers. True or false?
It might be an experience you had during your childhood days. Watch these unfortunate women today that testify why they have hated men with perfect hatred because they were abused when they were infants.
When they survive the abuse, do they [I mean] forgive that person? They pray that they should be given the opportunity to avenge. They hate that person with perfect hatred because that abuse had already left an indelible experience.
Moreso, when they suffered a great deal of pains in the hospitals. Some narrowly escaped death.
Every encounter a man has in this life, even with his fellow human being, leaves an experience behind.
Then, what can you say about your encounter with God? God is real. God is a human being. How can you have an encounter with the Spirit of Truth, God without having a definite experience you can tell others whether good or bad.
That is why, if you are personally and practically acquainted with God, is there any experience greater than that. To be personally and practically acquainted with God, to the point that you talk to God face to face, and He talks back to you, is there any encounter greater than that?
William Branham said, “You can never be saved until you have that encounter as Moses had it. The privilege of seeing God as a human being. You talk to Him and He talks back to you.”
References:[1] Exodus 33;11. AND THE LORD SPOKE TO MOSES FACE TO FACE, AS A MAN SPEAKS TO HIS FRIEND. Moses returned to the camp, but his minister Joshua son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the [temporary prayer] tent. AMP
[2] Numbers 14:14. And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, Lord, are in the midst of this people [of Israel], that YOU, LORD, ARE SEEN FACE TO FACE, AND THAT YOUR CLOUD STANDS OVER THEM, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. AMP
To make it a possibility for all mankind, God prophesied through Prophet Muhammad Raheem [pbuh] that he will allow scientists and give them the knowledge to invent a communication equipment that will make people in faraway countries to be directly connected to the Mahdi, whenever He will be on the scene. That they might be privileged, not only to see Him, they will talk to Him, and He will talk back to them.
Reference:Mu’jam Ahadith al-Imam al-Mahdi, Vol. 4 p. 57 and Bihar Vol. 52 p. 336.When our Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] appears, Almighty Allah will provide means whereby even people living many miles away will be able to speak to, see and hear our Qaim from wherever they may be.
Has it not come to pass? Is there any place in the world that is banned from communicating with the son of man? In many ways. It can be in writing. It can be orally. It can be through phone call. It can be through your WhatsApp [text or call]. It can even be through WhatsApp video call. They are everywhere.
Once there is darkness and light God is there. Once there is air; anywhere there is air, God is there. That is why every human being in this generation has been privileged to embrace God, unless the person does not want to.
So, no distance is far from God and His people again. His people must know Him. They must identify with Him. They must be positionally placed where there will be network.
One day, you will hear, “He has answered. He has picked the call. Come and speak! Come and speak!” This is to show you the extent they might have been dialing that number.
“I hope I am speaking to the very son of man, my LORD.” I will say, I AM. “Heeeee! What a wonderful privilege I am enjoying today.” One told me the other day, “The best service my phone has ever rendered to me is helping me to connect You. The best service my phone has ever rendered.”
And God said, “The best service your phone will render to you is to use it to listen to the Word of God.” That is the best service, not to play music like Chika, and not to use it for any other thing. Other thing should be secondary. The best services you can obtain from your phone is to use it to listen to the Word of God. Amen.

Nevertheless, many stumbled because it could not be settled in their hearts that God is a man. Remember it is our message. Has it been settled in your heart that God is a man? You are in this Faith, you have seen everything happening, but sister, brother, has it been settled? You know what it takes to be settled in your heart that God is a man! One thing is for that thing to be settled, another thing is to treat Him reverentially; fear and honour Him, worship Him, praise Him.

THE SON OF MAN

IN HIM IS THE FATHER REVEALED; Preached on Sunday 27^th May 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 67 vs. 61

THE SON REVEALS WHO THE FATHER IS

The Voice said, “See! The Tabernacle of God, the home of God; the Home of God; the abode of God, the Sanctuary, the Temple is now living among men.”

The LORD Jesus knew what He was saying. When they asked Him the question, “When shall the Kingdom of God come?”, He laughed at them and said, “The Kingdom of God cometh, not with signs that will be observable with human eyes. I say unto you, ‘The Kingdom of God is here with you already.’” Is there a statement clearer than this?
Reference: Luke 17:20-21. ²⁰Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied to them by saying, The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display, ²¹Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]. AMP
It is just like Philip asked Him, “Show us the Father! Show us the Father, and that will be sufficient for us.” He said, “Philip! Have I been with you all these years and yet, you have not known Me?” Even if He did not add the other statement, “If you have seen Me, you have seen My Father.”
How long will I be with you Philip? Have you not witnessed all that have been happening up till this day with your own eyes? Yet, you are asking Me to show you the Father. So you have not realized that I am He. You are yet to believe that I am He. I am in My Father. My Father is also in Me. He that sent Me is with Me. My Father has not departed from Me, for I do those things that please Him.”
Reference:John 14:6-11.⁶Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
⁷If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen Him. ⁸Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to see the Father–that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied.
⁹Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the Father?
¹⁰Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the (His) works (His own miracles, deeds of power).
¹¹Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the sake of the [very] works themselves. [If you cannot trust Me, at least let these works that I do in My Father’s name convince you.] AMP
Today, too many are still asking the question like Philip. That is why whatever God does, He speaks ahead of time concerning it.
IN HIM IS THE FATHER REVEALED [Preached on Sunday 27^th May 2012by THE SON OF MAN]. You have it in your Message. And before your eyes, the Father revealed Who He is through a Son, for no man knoweth Who the Father is, but the Son. No man knoweth Who the Son is but the Father, and to whomsoever the Son shall chose to reveal, for the Son revealeth the Father.
Otherwise, you will be groping in total darkness. You will remain a churchgoer, a praise singer, a choir master without knowing the God you are worshipping.
No man knoweth who the Father is. No man knoweth Who the Son is. It takes the Son to tell you who the Father is. And the Father went further to say, “In the midst of the worshipping Congregation, I will reveal My Father to you.”
Reference: Hebrews 2:11-12.¹¹For both He Who sanctifies [making men holy] and those who are sanctified all have one [Father]. For this reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren; ¹²For He says, I will declare Your [the Father’s] Name to My Brethren; in the midst of the [worshiping] congregation I will sing hymns of praise to You. AMP
I will not come to you privately, lest others will say that they did not see. But in the midst of that worshipping Congregation, I will declare to you, the Name of My Father.Then, you will know of a surety that I am He, for I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
No man cometh to the Father if not through the Son,for He has conferred absolute authority to the Son to be in charge of the totality of His creation and to act on his behalf. Yet, it is not robbery, for God veiled Himself in a man, not counting it robbery.
References:[1] John 5:22, 26-27. ²²For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: ……. ²⁶For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; ²⁷and hath given Him Authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man. KJV
[2] Philippians 2:5-7. ⁵Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: ⁶who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: ⁷but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: KJV
God did not say that it is a misplacement of value. God did not say he was belittling Himself. No! Or that He was debasing Himself No! Rather, veiling Himself in a man made Him great. God in simplicity.
I told you that today, I will fight the battle of battles because to save a human being has never been an easy thing. Why? No human being wants to live. Life is always forced into a human being. And that is what God is doing.
Because of you that are here, I am revisiting this Teaching. Otherwise, I will never ever touch it. But I feel that if I do not touch it, you will perish because most of you were too tender when I touched it.
And your fathers [your parents] never for one day espoused you to this truth, for they themselves were playing fool of themselves while the Teachings were going on.
The moment you grasp this truth, you fulfill the prophecy. All that will be saved in your family will possess your Faith. Which means, the Faith of the fathers will now be turned to the Faith of their children in keeping with Malachi 4. Otherwise, no salvation in your family.
Reference: Malachi 4:5-6.⁵Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: ⁶and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. KJV
This is because you will be in a position now to call your parents to order. Your parents will no longer call you to order. You will be in a position to tell your parents to stop wasting their time. And that they are being fooled there. You will be in the position to tell them the truth – the reality, in tune with the hour.
This is because whatever you might be receiving there might be carnal rebuke to enable you serve them well and become a good boy and a good girl. At the end, with your goodness, you perish. But the truth about salvation which is not based on whether you are good or bad, they do not know it.
If you check your parents to know why they want you to be good or this and that, it is in their best interest. It does not even benefit you one bit. And it has no part in eternal life.
Revelation 21:1-6, Amplified version.¹THEN I saw a new sky (heaven) and a new earth, for the former sky and the former earth had passed away (vanished), and there no longer existed any sea. ²And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, all arrayed like a bride beautified and adorned for her husband;
³Then I heard a Mighty Voice from the Throne and I perceived its distinct Words, saying, See! The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people, and God shallpersonally be with them and be their God.
Who? God shall personally be with them. Future! God shall personally be with them and be their God. Is there anything clearer than this?
You must know exactly where you are, why you are there and what you are expecting. You must know whether where you are can meet the demands of your soul, for many have already missed the way, doing God a service outside His will; Serving the devil ignorantly, thinking that they are serving God; Meeting the demands of their parents carnally, thinking they are doing God a service. They do not know that they are in opposition to the truth.
I want you to remain sober throughout the duration of the Message here today.
…and God shall personally be with them and be their God. ⁴God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away.
Completely! That is the hope of the Saints and why we are labouring every day. That the moment you are counted worthy to be clothed with your immortal body, it is all over. The fullness! The completeness of your salvation. And this is going to happen here and not in any other place.
One of these days, it shall become a testimony to those that could not make it because of their foolishness, for He that has come to give you the dress and to help you dress yourself is already with you. Not that He is coming again. He has descended long long time ago. He has been with men.
The Tabernacle has moved away from the cherub. He is here, just like the angels moved away from their holy habitation and were forced into human sperm and are born here as a human being.
Having walked and talked with God for a long time, they started shuttling while in the womb. The spirits were juggling like My wife is shuttling today, for she has gone back to her original estate with the authority to shuttle between the heavenly plain and earthly plain as she was in the very beginning.
Reference:THE LEGENDS OF THE JEWS; Transcribed and reproduced by Louis Ginzberg Volume 1 Section 2; “THE SOUL OF MAN” Paragraph 20.… The soul is then forced to enter the sperm against her will, and the angel carries her back to the womb of the mother.
Two angels are detailed to watch that she shall not leave it, nor drop out of it, and a light is set above her, whereby the soul can see from one end of the world to the other.
In the morning an angel carries her to Paradise, and shows her the righteous, who sit there in their glory, with crowns upon their heads.
The angel then says to the soul, “Dost thou know who these are?” She replies in the negative, and the angel goes on: “These whom thou beholdest here were formed, like unto thee, in the womb of their mother. When they came into the world, they observed God’s Torah and His commandments.
Therefore they became the partakers of this bliss which thou seest them enjoy. Know, also thou wilt one day depart from the world below, and if thou wilt observe God’s Torah, then wilt thou be found worthy of sitting with these pious ones. But if not, thou wilt be doomed to the other place.”
In the evening, the angel takes the soul to hell, and there points out the sinners whom the Angels of Destruction are smiting with fiery scourges, the sinners all the while crying out Woe! Woe! but no mercy is shown unto them.
The angel then questions the soul as before, “Dost thou know who these are?” and as before the reply is negative. The angel continues: “These who are consumed with fire were created like unto thee. When they were put into the world, they did not observe God’s Torah and His commandments.
Therefore have they come to this disgrace which thou seest them suffer. Know, thy destiny is also to depart from the world. Be just, therefore, and not wicked, that thou mayest gain the future world.”
Between morning and evening the angel carries the soul around, and shows her where she will live and where she will die, and the place where she will be buried, and he takes her through the whole world, and points out the just and the sinners and all things. In the evening, he replaces her in the womb of the mother, and there she remains for nine months. …
I want you to give Me audience as we continue to read.
⁵And He Who is seated on the throne said,… Note the pronoun “HE”. He that is seated on the Throne said, See! I make all things new. …
I make all things new. He predicted it even as a Prophet through Ezekiel that He is going to give you and I a new spirit and a new heart. A new spirit. A new heart. It is a new life because if you are in Christ, you are now a new creature with a new spirit; A new life to enable you to be partakers of the new heaven and the new earth, for you cannot tell God to put new wine inside an old bottle.
Go to the Message, LO, I make all things new. I have handled too many teachings, but you are dull in understanding. Everything must be new. That is the completeness of our salvation.
Death will be completely eradicated, even sufferings. The world will know no more wars. Nothing to annoy. No rent to pay. No harassment. No intimidation. No fear. No enemy. No friend, no enemy. You are all angels, serving God’s interest with joy. Day and night, you are praising and worshipping God. You do not go to labouragain for what you will eat, drink or this and that. Even when they were in the wilderness, did they labour for their food?
Labour not for the food that perisheth. If you must labour, labour not for the food that perisheth. If you must labour, labour for the food which THE SON OF MAN is giving to you, which endureth to everlasting life, for He alone has the Father sealed and sent.
Reference:John 6:27. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed. KJV
[2] ²⁷Stop toiling and doing and producing for the food that perishes and decomposes [in the using], but strive and work and produce rather for the [lasting] food which endures [continually] unto life eternal; the Son of Man will give (furnish) you that, for God the Father has authorized and certified Him and put His seal of endorsement upon Him. AMP
And this [meat or food] is the Bread of Life that cometh from heaven.

….I am He that liveth and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore. Come unto Me all ye nations and be saved, for I am He that liveth and was dead. Let somebody say Amen. Even if you do not believe it, I am the Resurrection and the Life. Even if you do not believe it, your unbelief has nothing to do with this Truth.

THE SON OF MAN

INTRODUCTION OF THE HEAVENLY COMMANDER OF GOD’S ARMY; Preached on 16^th June 2001 at the Household of God; Onitsha; Pg. 28 vs. 41 – 42

I AM THE ALPHA AND OMEGA

Revelation 21:5-6, Amplified. ⁵And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this,… He said also, record it. Put it down. Write it down. It is true and faithful. It is dependable. It is worthy of all acceptation.

… Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful… These sayings are faithful. They are dependable. (accurate, incorruptible,… Incorruptible sayings. …and trustworthy) and true (genuine).
If God is the One speaking from His Throne concerning this solemn promise, who are you to annul it. The truth is that many do not belong to God, but they are merely following the people of God, simply because they have seen the blessings that follow them because they belong to God. You see them volunteering.
For if you really belong to God and you are a Seed of God, what is being read this morning will set your heart aflame.
This is a true saying. He that made the statement said, “Put it down in writing. Put it on record. Record it either in your heart or in your jotter.”
… Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine). ⁶And He [further] said to me, It is done!
It has been recorded. It has been recorded. That is why William Branham the Prophet made a statement that is heart-warming that God will ever remain guilty of His Promise until He brings it to pass.
And THE SON OF MAN came and then fortified that statement that has come to confirm the promise that was made unto the fathers, and to establish a new Covenant with you – the children of the fathers, for you were not there.
A New Covenant the LORD Jesus established and said, “This is the blood of My New Covenant which is shed for you, for the remission of your sins.” Proclaim it loud! A New Covenant.
Reference: [1] Matthew 26:28. For this is my blood, sealing the New Covenant. It is poured out to forgive the sins of multitudes. AMP
[2] Mark 14:24. ²⁴And He said to them, This is My blood [which ratifies] the New Covenant, [the blood] which is being poured out for (on account of) many. AMP
Then before He departed, He told you of the One that will come after Him to establish an everlasting Covenant with the everlasting Gospel that will go round the whole world. No other Personality than the same person.
He said, “He will never speak of His own. Opinion can never be of His own. Judgment is not His own. But whatsoever He heareth from Me, that He will declare unto you.”
In 1996, we heard it, “I will declare! I will declare! I will declare!” “Will they believe?” He said, “Sure! They will believe.” “Why saying it like this?” “I know them. I have taught them. I have taken time to teach them Your ways and they will believe.”
So, from that time, if there be any that is found in unbelief, it is because thereunto that person was born and also ordained, for every man; every woman must go the way he or she is ordained.
Are you ordained to eternal life or eternal damnation? You must find it out today.
In the Acts of the Apostles, when the Message was preached, those that were ordained to eternal life believed, while those that were ordained to eternal damnation refused to believe and argued themselves away.
And when they walked away, they declared themselves unworthy of everlasting life.
References: Acts 14:46 & 48. ⁴⁶Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. ……. ⁴⁸And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. KJV
You can be here and declare yourself unworthy. If you are not paying heed; you are not giving serious thought nor paying serious attention to the Word of God that is coming to you, it then means that you are putting it by your side. You are setting it aside. Eternal life is not for you. You wait for eternal condemnation, for he that believeth not is condemned already. That is the judgment.
He that believeth not at that very point where that unbelief sets in, you stand utterly condemned.
References: [1] Mark 3:18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. KJV
[2] ¹⁸He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation–he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.]AMP
So if you want to run away from condemnation, embrace Christ for there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ, who do not walk after the flesh, but after the leading of the spirit, for the law of the Spirit of Christ has set us free from the law of the flesh. Hence, we are not sinners anymore, as many as are in Christ.
Reference: [1] Romans 8:1-2. ¹THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. ²For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death.AMP
You cannot just use your mouth and say, “I am in Christ.” There is always a symbol. There is always a mark of ownership. If you do not have that mark of ownership; a seal of approval, you are also a follow-follow [an escort].
References: [1] John 3:33. ³³Whoever receives His testimony has set his seal of approval to this: God is true. [That man has definitely certified, acknowledged, declared once and for all, and is himself assured that it is divine truth that God cannot lie]. AMP
[2] 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.²¹But it is God Who confirms and makes us steadfast and establishes us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and has consecrated and anointed us [enduing us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit]; ²²[He has also appropriated and acknowledged us as His by] putting His seal upon us and giving us His [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as the security deposit and guarantee [of the fulfillment of His promise]. AMP
[3] 2 Corinthians 1:22. ^[22]He has put His brand upon us—His mark of ownership—and given us His Holy Spirit in our hearts as guarantee that we belong to Him and as the first installment of all that He is going to give us.LB
[4] Ephesians 1:13-14.¹³In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. ¹⁴That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it–to the praise of His glory. AMP
[7] Revelation 9:3-4. ³Then out of the smoke locusts came forth on the earth, and such power was granted them as the power the earth’s scorpions have. ⁴They were told not to injure the herbage of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but only [to attack] such human beings as do not have the seal (mark) of God on their foreheads. AMP
That is why God said that we should strive and run this race in such a way and manner that we will obtain a prize. Do not run in a way and manner that in the end, you will not obtain the prize; the trophy; the coveted crown.
Did you run the race? Yes! At the end what did you get? Empty-handed! May God forbid.
Saint Paul said, “I kept myself under strict control while running this race lest after helping others to get saved, I myself will be a castaway.”
That is why God does not look for preachers. He is looking for doers of the Word and not preachers of the Word. Amen
Now, he that made the statement said, “It is true, faithful and worthy of all acceptation. Put it on record that this statement can never fail.”
The Promise can never fail, for all the promises of God, in Him are yea and Amen. It is final. Yes! And the angel said, “Lo, it is done.” It is already done. It is finished. It has become a finished matter.
But to you, who do not believe, well, I say, “Continue in your unbelief. Continue in your doubt and hypocrisy because you are erring, not knowing the truth and not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.”
⁵And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine).
⁶And He [further] said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega,… I am the what?
SONG: [You are the Alpha and Omega. We worship You our God, for You are worthy to be praised. We give You all the Glory. We worship You our God, for You are worthy to be praised]
… I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. Who is that person? The LORD God Almighty.
… I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I [Myself] will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life.
The beginning and the end. To the thirsty, I will give you water free without your paying a dime. Who is saying this? God, Who is now pitching tent, dwelling, living and encamping among human beings.
He is guiding, instructing, correcting, leading and providing for everything. Yet, he is not in one place. He is on earth and in Heaven at the same time. He fills all in all, for His Glory fills the heaven and earth at the same time.
So the Cloud is no longer on the cherub, for it has left the door of the Tabernacle. It is now around the Tabernacle. The Cloud has revealed the Tabernacle. The Cloud has revealed the Sanctuary. The Cloud has revealed the Temple.
Can you see the True Temple made without hands where God dwells? Who made this Temple? God Himself made it. He said, “A body will I prepare for Myself.” God Himself prepared a Body, and placed that Body among bodies. A Vessel among vessels and He marked it “Special”.
What makes it special? This is the King’s Cup; Cup among cups. Whether golden or anything, it is Cup among cups. But it is a special Cup. Why? It is the King’s Cup; Vessel among all vessels.
For God said that He has emptied Himself into earthen vessels. True or false? True or false?
Reference: 2 Corinthians 4:7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.KJV
⁷However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.AMP

If you are not a seed of God, you must find it difficult to line up with God. There is no ambiguity in this Message; anybody trying to give it another interpretation will regret it. Anything I approve must be“A Standard” for all the Saints.

THE SON OF MAN

CODE OF CONDUCT IN THE BRIDE OF CHRIST; Preached on Sunday 5^th June, 2005 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 42 vs. 93

IF CHRIST IS NOT YOUR IDENTITY, THE WORLD IS YOUR IDENTITY

Let us go to Timothy. Let us see the vessels. 2 Timothy 2 from verse 19.¹⁹But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands,…

The firm Foundation laid by God still stands. Who laid that firm Foundation? Can anybody pull it down? The firm foundation laid by God still stands.
¹⁹But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands,sure and unshaken, bearing this seal (inscription): The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names [himself by] the Name of the Lord give up all iniquity and stand aloof from it. Sure!!!
The LORD knows all. He has one inscription. He has one thing by which you recognize it. This firm Foundation; the LORD alone knows those who are His.
He that is of God heareth God’s word, but anybody who does not belong to God, can never understand the real meaning of the Scriptures and can never see the reason why his life and the Message must be one.
The person cannot understand that the preaching is a revelation of a life that all children of God must live because he does not proceed from God.
So, he approaches God’s Word casually. Give him instruction in the morning, he will say Amen. In the afternoon, he will do his own.
Why? He is not doing it. He is walking the way he is ordained. That is why you do not need to ask Me, “Daddy” or “Brother, am I in the number?”
I have not yet given the Message a topic, but I will give it a topic.
¹⁹But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands, sure and unshaken,… Sure and also unshaken. Is it not as strong as what we read in the book of Revelation? Sure! Unshaken! Guaranteed! It is guaranteed. Whether you believe it or not, your unbelief can never stop God from fulfilling it.
That is why the Bible made it clear, “Our unbelief can never hinder God from fulfilling His promise.” With your unbelief, you will see it fulfilling. You will become another Mike Emmanuel who will only believe when it has become too late.
Why? He walks by sight and not by Faith. He does not accept any Message from God by Faith, but he accepts by sight, carnally and saying, “Until I see with my eyes.” One day he will see and the eyes will not open again.
Let nobody ever pattern his life after him, even in his family. He is a replica of his late father. If he must repent, I do not know when. I do not know what will happen to him that will make him to believe God, for God has showed him the greatest mercy, even the greatest proof that He is the Almighty through what befell him.
Not once. Not twice. And not thrice. Uncountable experiences right from his bachelorhood down to this particular age he has attained. Yet, he has never come to the conviction of Who God is.
Since he is the head of his family, if I do not speak this truth, he will lead his entire family into hell, for they might be calling Him Deacon and believing in him, when he does not believe in God.
¹⁹But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands, sure and unshaken,… Sure and also unshaken. It cannot be pushed about. …bearing this seal (inscription):… Do you know what a seal is? The Mark with which He is known.
…The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names [himself…
Let everyone who names himself or herself after God like you are here now. Nobody knows the names of your parents here. Nobody knows where you come from. It is your behaviour that will make Me to disown you before outsiders.
If you behave like My children, I will tell the whole world that you are Mine. But where you are known from My Family, and you know the people know Me, they know My Family and also know My children, they know us for something, and you become a strange fellow, claiming to be one of us from this Family, you are a blasphemer.
I will tell the world who you are; who your parents are and how I came into contact with you, lest they will attribute your misbehaviour to My Family. Let them know you are not My bloodline.
But if you behave like Me, behave like My children, you are My bloodline, for the bloodline of My Family is Christ’s bloodline. Every family in heaven and on earth MUST be named after Christ. Christ is our identity. If Christ is not your identity, the world is your identity.
Is it not an individual that will say or determine what he or she wants to be called? If I am walking along the street with you and somebody asks Me, “Daddy, is this one also your child”,and I say yes, but you turn around and say that I have told a lie, and then decides to introduce yourself. “I am from Oghe. I am the son of Elijoe”, am I the one that said so? Am I the one who said so?
By then you will realize why the person asked the question, for he will say, “No wonder! This child is too troublesome in the school. I have been wondering whether you will beget this type of child and remain unconcerned about his behaviour.” By then, the child will close his mouth.
That is why I have spoken to you in the Message, the power of personal introduction. There is power associated with personal introduction. Who are you? Where do you come from? Who and who are your parents? And you begin to introduce yourself.
You do not know the mind of the person. You do not know what you have done that warranted it as to why he wants to know you deeper than he knew you.
It is through your introduction, he will draw his inference immediately. May be at the end, you never knew he had an encounter with your father. May be your father manifested evil. May be your father manifested hypocrisy.
It is just like one man who heard our Message. Immediately, he was directed because of the work. He was told that we have a Brother who can rectify the fault. He is a master in that job. We mentioned Brother Shadrach Onah.
The man shouted and said, “You have spoiled everything. Shadrach Nwa Nsukka? You have spoilt everything you had earlier said here. Is he in your midst? Does he go to church?”
The Brothers and Sisters, and all those who were talking before then, all kept quiet and withdrew to him or herself. Everybody was now on his or her own to redeem his integrity. Is it not true? Do you not know him?What are you known for?
If he had an encounter with Christ, he would have left an indelible footprint on the sands of time that will keep on depicting that he had already encountered Christ.
When you encounter Christ, you have a testimony that lasts forever and ever, for being with Christ is an experience. True or false?People will say, “Do you not know he has been with Christ?”
Do you not know that there is nothing evidencing that Bro Shadrach Onah has had any interaction with Christ personally and practically, or even through the written Word? That is why his character is always different from others, and he does not think about it. It does not give him concern.
The Foundation was laid by God and it is not an ordinary Foundation. A firm Foundation. Unshaken Foundation.
You see why God gave us the Message [the Doctrine] THE TWO FOUNDATIONS OF OUR EXISTENCE. Check your foundation from time to time.
And last night we were listening to the news and somebody was talking in the television saying, “Any building that has a poor foundation must surely collapse.” He said, “It takes only but time. Let us correct the imbalance in our electoral process and stop laying a very porous and faulty foundation for the future, for it must surely collapse.”
I called the Brethren who were with Me and said, “Can you listen to the sound mind?”
There is something in your foundation. Stop amending your clothes, if it is possible, change that one. Stop using a new cloth to patch the old one, for the new one must tear the old apart. Stop patch patch work. Pull down that structure. Begin a new life altogether. Lay a new foundation with your own belief. Do not stand on the existing belief of your father which you have already seen the fault, that it cannot carry you.
Whatever you want to build on top of it means helping it to collapse on you. Is it a lie Brethren? Pull it down immediately. Do not try to go further with it.
If your father is a thief, you will join him in stealing. If he is a drunkard, you join him in drinking. You pattern after him in all his ways so that you will become his replica, do you not know that the house will collapse on you?
But if you are wise and intelligent, you will condemn that building. After condemning it, pull it down. Lay a new foundation. And then point the rest to that new foundation.
Our inability to depart from our old foundation is a part of our problem till now.
We find it very difficult to depart from something we know to something we know not.
We find it difficult to stop walking the old way, and theN begin to walk in the new Way that is introduced to us. A new Way. A new life.
That is why, if any be in Christ, he becomes a brand new individual within. A new life has now begun. Old life is now over. A new spirit imparts a new life, for the Word you are hearing from Christ, they are spirit, they are life. True or false? How can you receive the Word and continue in your old ways of life?
Our morning altar Message yesterday laid credence to what I am saying. If we really read the Scriptures together and passed through the Scriptures, we were enjoined to stop; to quit living the old life that had already been stained. A record that is stinking before all men. Quit! Recoil! Recant it!
And then, begin to live a new life so that people that knew you with evil can now see you with a new change and begin to glorify God, using you as example, “If this person can change, any other person can also change. Glory be to God.”
¹⁹But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands, sure and unshaken, bearing this seal (inscription): The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names [himselfby] the Name of the Lordgive up all iniquity and stand aloof from it.
Let everyone. No minus. We are all included. You and I named after Christ should depart from every evil, iniquity [something we know we should not do and we should not try to attempt it], for there is no good way of doing a wrong thing and still retain Christ’s identity. No! No!
The moment you begin to walk contrary to the revealed truth that was given to you, you have lost your identity in Christ.
Man’s inability to depart from his old ways of life has made life a living hell to many. Man’s inability to accept a change introduced to him by the Almighty has made life a living hell fire to many.
Check all who claim they go to church but continue in their old sinful lifestyle. Check to see whether life is not a living hell to all of them.
After hearing this truth and we remain as we were, we have received the greatest condemnation from God. But when we receive this truth and adjust positively to this truth, we have redeemed our life. I say, we have redeemed our life from eternal damnation.
Our life will not be the same again. You will now begin to regret the wasted years you roamed in iniquity – years you spent in vanity. Any year; any period you spend outside Christ is a time; a year and anything spent in vanity. It is vanity of all vanities. Wasted effort. Wasted time. Wasted money. Wasted everything!
Children that are raised in idolatry are wasted children. Husband, wasted. Labour spent or expended in serving a devil in the form of a husband, wasted, for you are parting whether you like it or not.
That is why God said, “You have no father, mother, husband, children or anything, except in Christ.” Whatever you are having outside Christ, automatically has started failing. Brethren, is it a lie?
Is there anything that is still standing? Only Christ is standing now. And He is standing, not in the world, but in His Abode with His Family. God has gone back to His Family. It is now a family call.

Anybody that is a child of God from the very beginning till today and has been listening to the Words of the Son of Man, has attained a height, has inculcated a culture, habit, tradition that can never never be influenced away from him or her, no matter where he or she finds him or herself.

……. I am always on the Lord’s side. I do not care who you are. I do not care your relationship with Me. Once you do not take side with God, I am against you and God is against you. Every true Seed of God takes side with God. Whether man or woman, you are on the Lord’s side.

THE SON OF MAN

FAMILY FORUM; Preached on Sunday 5^th October 2008 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 46 vs. 61 & Pg. 104 vs. 58 – 59

KNOWN UNTO GOD ARE ALL HIS WORKS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD

Let us look at Acts of the Apostles chapter fifteen in the King James version. And let us read verse twenty-eight.

King James version of the Bible is there. Allow him to read. You are a man. Today, I will permit even our Sisters to read if our Brothers are not willing to read. Reading the Bible is not a Ministry. If our Sisters can sing praises, they can as well read the Scriptures. I am here. Whatever I tell you to do, do it.
If I get to a place where I do not have a Brother, and what I have there will be women, definitely, they will serve My purpose. They will read the Scriptures. I will even put them in the pulpit to help to encourage their fellow women.
So, take note of what I am saying. In their families, do they not read the Scriptures before their families? In their families, do they not talk to their husbands?
Any married woman that cannot hold the family altar is a devil. She is a Jezebel. She is a social woman. This is because by holding the family altar where the husband is there, the husband will through her own knowledge learn his own lessons.
The reason why some men do not permit their wives to hold family altars is because they want to wield power and unnecessary influence over them, for they know that there is no way their wives will speak without exposing them.
But they will like to expose their wives. And they would not like their wives to expose them through the knowledge of the truth which the husbands are disbelieving, misinterpreting and dislocating to enable them to continue to live in the wrong, for a proud man hates correction.
A proud man hates correction, especially when he is being corrected by his wife or his children or the people he considers lower than him. The pride and naughtiness in him will never permit him to bow down to the truth, knowing that God can use an ass to speak.
God used an ass to speak to Prophet Balaam. God used a little ass [a maidservant] to speak to a centurion – Naaman the Syrian. God used a little ass; a little boy, the son of Paul’s sister to minster to Paul, and which led to his escape from death.
God can use anybody. If God can use ordinary ass, how much more a human being.
Watch any family where the woman does not feature prominently in the family altar, even to the point of handling the Word of God, even when the husband is there before the children, that woman can never grow spiritually.
She will always be forming the habit of leaving the Fellowship when the message is on because she will be feeling offended by what might be coming out of the mouth of the husband.
She will never grow spiritually because she will be reluctant in studying the Word of God in season and out of season with intent to know the real meaning so that she can use the Word like the mothers of Timothy.
Timothy’s grandmother and his mother tutored him in the knowledge of the Scriptures. No mention was made of his father. What can we say about Lydia, Rhoda and the rest of them? So, these were women of Faith, they never closed their mouths.
Today, we have social women and then social men. Some do not even permit their wives to read sermon books, even before them in the family.
So, women are redundant. They are regarded as no human beings as if there is a peculiar condition or standard God prescribed for women for their own salvation. Both man and woman stand on equal platform as far as eternal life is concerned.
As long as this Word of God is concerned, believing is a must that we must believe. Manifesting, a must. God cannot input your wife’s righteousness to you or your own to your wife. Everybody is striving, both man and woman.
The women are equally blind, for they have not even believed the Scriptures to the point the LORD Jesus wanted them to believe, which says that there must be a parting in the end.
If they are not careful, on that day, when salvation shall be made complete, the man may be taken away from the bed, leaving the woman behind. The woman might be taken away, leaving the husband behind.
Reference:Matthew 24:37-44.³⁷As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. ³⁸For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, [men] marrying and [women] being given in marriage, until the [very] day when Noah went into the ark,
³⁹And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away- -so will be the coming of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. ⁴¹Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
⁴²Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming. ⁴³But understand this: had the householder known in what [part of the night, whether in a night or a morning] watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be undermined and broken into. ⁴⁴You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him. AMP
What if on that day, the man [because of his character or his unbelief] is sentenced to hell like Nabal and the wife is sentenced to Paradise like Abagail [who married a stingy husband who is as stingy as his name]?
And then, she got salvation by expressing her faith in Jehovah revealed in that day – King David. Though He was pitching tent in the wilderness, which is a long distance, she shuttled with her maidservant and fulfilled God’s righteous demands.
Reference: 1 Samuel 25:14-37.^[14]Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s men went and told Abigail, “David sent men from the wilderness to talk to our master, but he insulted them and railed at them.^[15-16]But David’s men were very good to us and we never suffered any harm from them; in fact, day and night they were like a wall of protection to us and the sheep, and nothing was stolen from us the whole time they were with us.^[17]You’d better think fast, for there is going to be trouble for our master and his whole family—he’s such a stubborn lout that no one can even talk to him!”
^[18]Then Abigail hurriedly took two hundred loaves of bread, two barrels of wine, five dressed sheep, two bushels of roasted grain, one hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes, and packed them onto donkeys.^[19]“Go on ahead,” she said to her young men, “and I will follow.” But she didn’t tell her husband what she was doing.^[20]As she was riding down the trail on her donkey, she met David coming toward her.
^[21]David had been saying to himself, “A lot of good it did us to help this fellow. We protected his flocks in the wilderness so that not one thing was lost or stolen, but he has repaid me bad for good. All that I get for my trouble is insults.^[22]May God curse me if even one of his men remains alive by tomorrow morning!”
^[23]When Abigail saw David, she quickly dismounted and bowed low before him.^[24]“I accept all blame in this matter, my lord,” she said. “Please listen to what I want to say.^[25]Nabal is a bad-tempered boor, but please don’t pay any attention to what he said. He is a fool—just like his name means. But I didn’t see the messengers you sent.
^[26]Sir, since the Lord has kept you from murdering and taking vengeance into your own hands, I pray by the life of God, and by your own life too, that all your enemies shall be as cursed as Nabal is.^[27]And now, here is a present I have brought to you and your young men. ^[28]Forgive me for my boldness in coming out here. The Lord will surely reward you with eternal royalty for your descendants, for you are fighting his battles; and you will never do wrong throughout your entire life.
^[29]Even when you are chased by those who seek your life, you are safe in the care of the Lord your God, just as though you were safe inside his purse! But the lives of your enemies shall disappear like stones from a sling!
^[30-31]When the Lord has done all the good things he promised you and has made you king of Israel, you won’t want the conscience of a murderer who took the law into his own hands! And when the Lord has done these great things for you, please remember me!”
^[32]David replied to Abigail, “Bless the Lord God of Israel who has sent you to meet me today!^[33]Thank God for your good sense! Bless you for keeping me from murdering the man and carrying out vengeance with my own hands.^[34]For I swear by the Lord, the God of Israel who has kept me from hurting you, that if you had not come out to meet me, not one of Nabal’s men would be alive tomorrow morning.”
^[35]Then David accepted her gifts and told her to return home without fear, for he would not kill her husband.LB
But the man who was feasting at home perished for he delighted in eating and drinking, counting his money and his barn. After which he will go to bed and gaze at the sky admiring his beautiful mansion as if he will not die. But the LORD demanded his soul. No sooner the woman came back from David than the LORD smote Nabal and he died.
1 Samuel 25: 36-38.^[36]When she arrived home she found that Nabal had thrown a big party. He was roaring drunk, so she didn’t tell him anything about her meeting with David until the next morning.
^[37-38]By that time he was sober, and when his wife told him what had happened, he had a stroke and lay paralyzed for about ten days, then died, for the Lord killed him.LB
What can you say about the rich fool whose head was swollen because of what he thought he has amassed by his efforts? “Oh! I will pull down my barn and build a bigger one. I am pulling down this mansion. I will begin to renovate this house.”
Every year, he is renovating a house because he wants to keep it up to date to the neglect of God. After he did everything, he sat down on his chair, admired the beauty of the house and said, “Oh! My soul can now rejoice, for my hand has amassed great wealth for me. Poverty will no longer be mentioned in my generation anymore. Oh! Who am I?”
The LORD said, “O you fool! This night, I require your life from you. Let Me know who will now benefit from your sweat, from your labour or whether you will protest in the grave.”
Reference:Luke 12:15-21.¹⁵And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man’s life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs.
¹⁶Then He told them a parable, saying, The land of a rich man was fertile and yielded plentifully.¹⁷And he considered and debated within himself, What shall I do? I have no place [in which] to gather together my harvest.
¹⁸And he said, I will do this: I will pull down my storehouses and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain or produce and my goods. ¹⁹And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up, [enough] for many years. Take your ease; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself merrily.
²⁰But God said to him, You fool! This very night they [the messengers of God] will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be?
²¹So it is with the one who continues to lay up and hoard possessions for himself and is not rich [in his relation] to God [this is how he fares]. AMP
No matter how you protest, nobody can protest in the mortuary or protest in the grave. No matter your protest, you can never come back to life to begin to enjoy whatever you left behind here, for it is appointed unto all men once to die. After that, judgment follows.
Blind people following THE SON OF MAN. Do they know the truth? Even if they know the truth, can they believe it? Let us continue.
Acts 15:18, King James version.Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world.
Remember He is the only One that knows the end from the very beginning. Hence we call Him what He is –THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA; THE BEGINNING AND THE END. Amen. To God be the Glory.
We are still searching. I am yet to give it a title. Once I give it a title, I will either go down or hand over to another Minister. Follow Me. No distraction here.
If you want to do any work in your microphone, do it reverently. If you want to walk about, walk reverently. If you want to stand up, stand reverently. Follow Me gradually.

He does everything after the counsel of His own mind. He does not take any suggestion. Neither does He take any instruction from anybody. He does everything after the counsel of His own mind. Who has ever been His counsellor?… …..He does not consult any man. He has no personal consultant. He takes a unilateral action. Unilateral decision. That is what Makes Him the Almighty. And if you watch all His decisions, they are all perfect. They are all perfect. Amen

GOD DOES EVERYTHING AFTER THE COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL

Remember I opened with Revelations chapter one, and we are marching on. Let us know whether God knows the end from the very beginning. It is everywhere in your Bible, but I want to shorten the time.

Isaiah 46:9-10, Amplified version. ⁹[Earnestly] remember the former things, [which I did] of old; for I am God,…
Earnestly remember the former things I did from of old; from ancient time. Please pay attention to what we are reading. That will not stop you from crosschecking other Scriptures. Earnestly; be diligent while remembering. Do not allow the memory to fizzle out. Do not allow the experience to fizzle out of your mind. Earnestly remember what God did in former times.
In the Book of Numbers, we read it there, “We heard. Our fathers told us how you dealt with them in the wilderness while they were coming home from Egypt.”
Hence, the LORD said to parents, “All your experiences with Me and the Words I spake unto you, write them down. Place them as a bill board in your families. Paste them on the walls and on your doors so that your children will have their eyes fixed on them.
Teach them to observe all things I commanded you. While they are eating; while they are with you in your parlour; anywhere they are be there with your children. Help them to understand that I am Jehovah, the only one and true God Who guarded you safely from the land of Egypt into this Promised Land.
Tell them the wonders, the miracles, the Signs and everything that I wrought among you. Tell them what I did in Egypt before liberating you, for I am the same yesterday, today and forever, for I am the LORD. I changeth not. For that, you children of Israel [children of Jacob] can never be consumed, for the LORD God Almighty is in the midst of them.”
Reference: Deuteronomy 6:1-17. ¹“These are all the laws that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you. Obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy. ²As long as you live, you and your descendants are to honour the Lord your God and obey all His laws that I am giving you, so that you may live in that land a long time.
³Listen to them, people of Israel, and obey them! Then all will go well with you, and you will become a mighty nation and live in that rich and fertile land, just as the Lord, the God of our ancestors, has promised. ⁴“Israel, remember this! The Lord—and the Lord alone—is our God. ⁵Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. ⁶Never forget these commands that I am giving you today.
⁷Teach them to your children. Repeat them when you are at home and when you are away, when you are resting and when you are working. ⁸Tie them on your arms and wear them on your foreheads as a reminder. ⁹Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.
¹⁰“Just as the Lord your God promised your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he will give you a land with large and prosperous cities which you did not build.
¹¹The houses will be full of good things which you did not put in them, and there will be wells that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant. When the Lord brings you into this land and you have all you want to eat, ¹²make certain that you do not forget the Lord who rescued you from Egypt, where you were slaves.
¹³Honour the Lord your God, worship only him, and make your promises in his name alone.¹⁴Do not worship other gods, any of the gods of the peoples around you. ¹⁵If you do worship other gods, the Lord’s anger will come against you like fire and will destroy you completely, because the Lord your God, who is present with you, tolerates no rivals.
¹⁶“Do not put the Lord your God to the test, as you did at Massah. Be sure that you obey all the laws that he has given you.GNB
Was it not their righteousness? The Tabernacle of God was no longer somewhere. He tabernacled among them. Hence, Balaam could not place a curse. Balaam could not see any bad side for they were already wrapped with the righteousness of the Elohim [Yahweh] Who pitched His tent among them.
Crosscheck your Scriptures and know whether it is true or false. It said that you cannot curse a people God has already blessed.
Reference: Numbers 23:20-26.²⁰You see, I have received His command to bless Israel. He has blessed, and I cannot reverse or qualify it. ²¹[God] has not beheld iniquity in Jacob [for he is forgiven], neither has He seen mischief or perverseness in Israel [for the same reason]. The Lord their God is with Israel, and the shout of praise to their King is among the people.
²²God brought them forth out of Egypt; they have as it were the strength of a wild ox. ²³Surely there is no enchantment with or against Jacob, neither is there any divination with or against Israel. [In due season and even] now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought!
²⁴Behold, a people! They rise up as a lioness and lift themselves up as a lion; he shall not lie down until he devours the prey and drinks the blood of the slain. ²⁵And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all. ²⁶But Balaam answered Balak, Did I not say to you, All the Lord speaks, that I must do? AMP
Do you know why God rejected all the barrages of accusations the devil brought against Joshua the High Priest and his people? Joshua the High Priest was standing by the right-hand side of God and the devil [Lucifer; Satan] came accusing him of many sins.
And the LORD Himself was there watching Joshua. Joshua had no defense, for God will be his defense. Satan was accusing him, not God; and in the presence of God. And God rose up to Satan, “I reject your accusations. Get away from here! Get away from here! I reject all your accusations.”
For he was accusing Joshua before God as a sinner. I reject all your accusations against My servant Joshua, for I have already purposed to bless Joshua and his people after the counsel of My own will, for Joshua and his people are signs of good things to come.
Reference: Zechariah 3:1-9.¹THEN [the guiding angel] showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at Joshua’s right hand to be his adversary and to accuse him.
²And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! Even the Lord, Who [now and habitually] chooses Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this [returned captive Joshua] a brand plucked out of the fire?
³Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the Angel [of the Lord].
⁴And He spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And He said to [Joshua], Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel.⁵And I [Zechariah] said, Let them put a clean turban on his head. So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with [rich] garments. And the Angel of the Lord stood by.
⁶And the Angel of the Lord [solemnly and earnestly] protested and affirmed to Joshua, saying, ⁷Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in My ways and keep My charge, then also you shall rule My house and have charge of My courts, and I will give you access [to My presence] and places to walk among these who stand here.
⁸Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues who [usually] sit before you–for they are men who are a sign or omen [types of what is to come]–for behold, I will bring forth My servant the Branch.
⁹For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshua, upon that one stone are seven eyes or facets [the all-embracing providence of God and the sevenfold radiations of the Spirit of God]. Behold, I will carve upon it its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity and guilt of this land in a single day.AMP
In the case of Job, the same thing. The LORD said, “Nay! Who told you to accuse My servant Job? You have sinned greatly. Though he may be found a sinner, did I command you to indict him? Did I send you to arrest him? Now, it is sin upon you. If you must not perish with your family, buy seven heifers, seven rams [everything seven seven seven]. Carry all of them, live. Go and meet Job. Kneel down before him. Tell him you are sorry for accusing him. He will pardon you. He will pray for you and forgive you. Only then will I remove the plague from among you and your families.”
Reference:Job 42:7-9.⁷After the Lord had spoken the previous words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has. ⁸Now therefore take seven bullocks and seven rams and go to My servant Job and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept [his prayer] that I deal not with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has. ⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord commanded them; and the Lord accepted [Job’s prayer]. AMP
In the Book of Romans chapter 14, God was angry, “Who are you to accuse somebody’s servant? Does he belong to you? Did you hire his services? Do you not know that his master is the one that will determine whether he will succeed or fail? But he will succeed, for his master is able to help him succeed.” Amen.
Reference: Romans 14:4.Who are you to judge the servants of someone else? It is their own Master who will decide whether they succeed or fail. And they will succeed, because the Lord is able to make them succeed. GNB
Isaiah 46:9-10, Amplified version. ⁹[Earnestly] remember the former things, [which I did] of old;…
Can you remember the former things? All these things I mentioned now, are they not all former? Are they not evidences enough that God is faithful to His promise?He does everything after the counsel of His own will, for no man has been His counselor. Who can understand the ways of God? Who can understand even the mind of God?
Did you get the Message? So That is why He said we should put padlock over our lips, for there are too many things we cannot understand here in this flesh. There are too many things you cannot understand. Your duty is to close your mouth and watch events unfold, for there are too many things you may call devil, but you do not know that God is there.
To you, it is devil because your heart is evil. But God is there., follow Me gradually.
⁹[Earnestly] remember the former things,… When you forget history, you see history repeating itself. Is it not true? Once history is forgotten, the mistakes of the past must be repeated. That is why every intelligent and wise fellow does not joke with history.
All these things I have aforementioned now, are they not history today. They were events that time. But to us now, they are history.
They were written and documented for us, for our learning; for our improvement in character and everywhere, for we are living in the day where everything shall come to an end to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
Otherwise, Korah will manifest because he has money. Goliath will manifest because he has strength. Ahithophel will manifest because he has the gift of wisdom, because nobody has the gift of humility and love.
So, do not forget history. History plays a vital role in the life of everyone who is aspiring for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Remember, the Tabernacle of God is among men. Finish it. I want to go to the dictionary meaning of Tabernacle. Get it from your handset. I want to know the meaning of Tabernacle.
⁹[Earnestly] remember the former things, [which I did] of old; for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is none like Me, ¹⁰Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure and purpose,Amen.
Isaiah 46:9-10, Living Bible. ^[9]And don’t forget the many times I clearly told you what was going to happen in the future. For I am God—I only—and there is no other like Me. ^[10]who can tell you what is going to happen. All I say will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish
For I do whatsoever I wish. Nothing can be clearer than this truth. God does everything after the counsel of His own will. No man; no woman has ever been His counselor. And whatever God says on every matter is what counts.
Remember, in the end, it is not what you say. It is not what your pastor said, your reverend father or pope or anybody. It is what God said on that matter that counts.
That is why something is good and acceptable if God has approved of it. Something is bad and unacceptable if God disapproves of it. True or false? So, it is good because God said it is good. It is bad because God said it is bad.
Upon that backdrop, God justified Evangelist Ben Okezue. Then the Bishop who thought he was right tendered unreserved apology in writing.
You see why you must be slow to speak and quick to hear. Be very careful the way you open your mouth. God’s ways are not your ways. His thoughts are not your thoughts. His ways are too high and they passeth all human understanding.
Do not use your little brain. Who gave you that brain? And you begin to talk anyhow. God gave you the mouth to express yourself and not to discredit God or to query the works of God’s hands.
Are you not the workmanship of God’s hands? Every human being is the workmanship of God’s hands and the flock of His pasture. So let us be very careful.
Oftentimes, we command the air of omnipotence which we do not possess, omniscience we do not have and the omnipresence we do not know the meaning. Let us be very careful. Amen.
