EVENTS ARE MADE CLEAR
BY PROPHECY
we give God the whole glory, honour and praise. Since morning, we have been paying attention to the Word of God and the Bible said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God.
2. Tonight, I know we programmed the message, “Investigative Judgment of God before the catching away of the Saints,’’ which I handled far, far years ago, 1996. God is in the process of investigating with a bid to knowing who is faithful.
3. You see, everybody claims to be righteous but God said, ‘A faithful and righteous fellow we are yet to find.’
4. That will point us to the message, “Faithfulness”. God wants to see that faithful man. God wants to see that righteous fellow. You claim to be righteous, it is your right to make a claim, but has God justified it? Has God confirmed it?
5. So, tonight, we want to consider something that is very, very pertinent. Even if it is 30 minutes that I am going to stay here, I want you to give Me audience. I am not cutting off your message.
6. It is My message also. We listened to it in the morning; we will never be tired of it. The Bible said, ‘As we see the day approaching, we have to comfort one another with the words of God by putting ourselves in remembrance of things we learnt from God in time past, prophecies.
7. I want you to go to the Book of prophecies. We have them in the library so that you go through the prophecies. Let us know exactly those that are fulfilling at this hour.
8. If you are not handy with the prophecies, when they are fulfilling you may not know, but when you are handy with the prophecies and you keep your eyes on the prophecies, you are likened to one that fixes his eyes on the sparrow.
9. When your eyes are on the sparrow, you will notice the appearance of the Great Star. The Great Star is with us already but what we are watching is event; events as prophesied. They are coming to pass gradually.
10. The world may not know where we are but we know what the hour is all about. Is it not true? Who does not know where the hour is leading us to? We are making a move gradually.
11. It shall be one day known unto the Lord; it will be over. Then the rest of mankind that failed to make it will face the Great Tribulation where they will blaspheme God more and more.
12. Whatever they are seeing now is just, let Me just put it, ‘The beginning of woes; the beginning of sorrows,’ because we are still here.
13. As long as we are still here, the full anger and the wrath of the Lord will not descend but God is using what we are passing through now to squeeze out the best in us.
14. It is at this time that the best in us will come out. If there be anything we never tidied up before, the squeeze is helping us now to tidy it up.
15. There has never been a time we came together as a family, from morning till night, morning till night only to be sharing testimonies of what the Lord is doing. There has never been a time like that until now. Is it not true?
16. William Braham said that “The Squeeze”whenever it will begin to come, it will make us come together. Then the love among the brethren shall be made manifest, for brethren whenever they cluster together sharing testimonies, they wouldn’t be desiring to part again.
17. Anywhere forms our fellowship. Once you see one or two, fellowship automatically starts. Can you imagine a situation where we do not have any other home than where we are.
18. Sister Ozioma went to Umunze for the burial of the dead and got trapped. People that came down here last weekend to see their relations got trapped. Those that went to Enugu are now trapped. Anywhere you are that is where you will stay now.
19. You see, scriptures fulfilling in another way. You know when scriptures are fulfilling, people might be looking at the sky. The Bible said that when the hour comes, those that are on the mountain top will not come down.
20. Those that are at home will not go out. Those that are outside will not come back. This is the hour it is coming to pass. Those that travelled to Lagos, can they come back here? If they will come back it is not today and tomorrow. Those that went to market in Imo State got trapped. Those who came to Anambra got trapped.
21. You see, no excuse to give. We were told what happened yesterday. Those that wanted to resist the soldiers at the Bridge Head, they beat hell out of them.
22. There in Warri, you saw what happened in Warri, Delta State. One was resisting; so, a soldier gunned him down. The villagers gathered and killed a soldier. He could have gunned them down.
23. Then the news went wide. Those that escaped went to the barracks, came out and started shooting the whole village and killed nine (9) instantly there. Nine lay flat on the ground. What killed them? Is it not the same Corona? They have died because of Corona. That is all.
24. Whoever that is dying now, we will attribute it to Corona. Because without Corona, they wouldn’t have died. Those that are dying of hunger and starvation, what is killing them? Corona.
25. Whoever that died during the period of war, what killed him is war. Whether he was killed at the warfront or he died of hunger at home. There is nothing else that we will call it but war. War killed him. If he dies as a refugee, what killed him? War!
26. All these people that died in IDP camps, what killed them? Boko Haram! Whether they were killed by gun, bomb or sickness, Boko haram killed them.
27. He would have been alive if he had been in his house. If he dies as a result of cold, what killed him? Boko Haram.
28. So whoever that is dying now, even if the person has been sick all these years before Corona, we will attribute his death to Corona. So, that is where we are; COVID-19. However, that is not where I am heading to.
29. ‘AS WE SEE THE DAYS APPROACHING” that is where I want to land everybody. As we see the days; where I am going to take as my scripture is where I will be revolving.
30. What we need at this hour as we see the days approaching.
31. Let us go to the end time Prophet Zephaniah, the Book of Zephaniah chapter 2. I will not read a lengthy passage.
32. Get Me the Book of Zephaniah Chapter 2; give Me Living Bible, Good News, and Amplified.
33. I did not say, Jeremiah; I said, Zephaniah. Promise you do not know whether it is in New Testament or Old Testament. Shame on you!
34. Zephaniah Chapter 2 from verse 1, “Shameless nation”
35. Shameless nation, shameless people, “come to your senses”.Do what? Come to your senses as we see the days approaching.
36. “Shameless nation, come to your senses”, come to your senses as we see the days approaching. As we see the days approaching, this is the time we must come to our full senses. My friend, you are there fooling yourself.
37. If you are not careful, you will not know when I will stretch forth my hand and slap the hell out of you. You better close the bible because you do not want to help yourself. You are a worthless fellow in the house of a Man of God. You cannot help yourself since this while you have been at home doing nothing.
38. Within this same period everybody is in The Squeeze, you cannot use the opportunity to study the various locations of the scriptures at your age;27.
39. Let us clap for you; you are in the Family of God deceiving yourself. You will regret what you have done to yourself at this dying minute. You are looking for Zephaniah!
40. Shameless nation come to your senses, “Shameless nation, come to your senses before you are driven away like chaff blown by the wind, before the burning anger of the Lord comes upon you”, before the burning anger of the Lord descends upon us.
41. “Before the day when he shows his fury. Turn to the Lord all you humble people of the land”. Do what? Turn to the Lord all you humble people of the Lord as we see the days approaching.
42. My friend, Zephaniah is Old Testament. Come to the Lord, all sensible people, all the meek, humble, lowly people of the earth. Turn to the Lord everybody before the fierce anger of the Lord will come.
43. “Turn to the Lord, all you humble people of the land, who obey his command”. Who do what? Obey the word of God.
44. “Do what is right” do what is right; avoid evil; come back to your senses now. If you have strayed away, this is the time for you to return.
45. AS WE SEE THE DAYS APPROACHING MAKE HASTE; OTHERWISE, THE ANGER OF THE LORD CAN MEET YOU ON THE WAY. THE ANGER OF THE LORD CAN MEET YOU ON THE WAY.
46. “Humble yourselves before the Lord. Perhaps you will escape punishment”.Perhaps, you will do what?
47. “Escape punishment on the day when the Lord shows his anger”.Another translation, Living Bible,
48. “Gather together and pray”gather and pray as we see the days approaching. As we see the days approaching, what do we do?
49. We gather and pray! We gather together and pray, seek the face of the Lord as we see the days approaching. It is not time for going to sleep; it is not the time forgoing up and down; it is not the time for eating and drinking.
50. I can see people on the streets eating and drinking. I can see people even lamenting for their business is falling apart. All these years what have they done with the money they realized from business.
51. This is not the time to begin to talk about academics. This is not the time to begin to talk about business; everything has crumbled at the command of the Lord. I am telling you the whole truth.
52. IF YOUR EYES ARE STILL ON YOUR BUSINESS, ON YOUR CAREER AS A STUDENT, ON YOUR WORK PLACE, I BET YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO HELL STRAIGHT AWAY; THE ANGER OF THE LORD WILL BE REVEALED UPON YOU AND YOU WILL REGRET TERRIBLY.
53. As we see the days approaching, anybody who cannot see the handwriting on the wall is numbered among the shameless people; a people that know not God.
54. Those that know God will agree with Me that what is happening now is the Finger of the Lord. If it is the Finger of the Lord ravaging as the first sign; this is a prelude; this is an introduction.
55. Introduction is what we are just seeing. Whatever they are doing now, we know where they are heading. Everybody appears to be confused. There is no remedy in sight. Look at, what are they doing?
56. Trying to postpone the evil day is not the remedy. But are they really postponing the evil day? Do not worry; we will remain here watching the events until we will roll into the Harmattan season when harmattan will ravage the whole of Africa and you will see the extent this Covid19 will go. It is air borne. Once it is air-borne, harmattan will drive it to remotest part of the world.
57. Winter has not yet come; it is still summer yet it is clearing people, I mean in Europe. What if winter sets in? That is why when the Lord was talking to Jerusalem, He said, ‘Pray that your flight will not be in the winter. Pray that your flight will not be in the winter. And woe unto women that are pregnant in those days or that are nursing babies.’
58. Pay attention, I read the message, “CLOSE THE BOOK, SEAL THE TESTIMONY” God said He is fixing His eyes on the Month of Nisan. Month of Nisan means April, first month of the year. He said, ‘I must recognize the Month of Nisan. It will never roll away anyhow. I will do something that will point the attention of the whole world to one side.
59. The attention of the whole world will be pointed to one side in the Month of Nisan.’ In the month of Nisan; Nisan means April. We have rolled into the Month of April proper and the death toll is still very high. The thing is still uncontrollably ravaging the entire world, especially Europe, Asia. Let us see where they are heading to. All their prophets; all their false prophets are lying. All their false prophets are lying, deceiving them.
60. So, we know where we are. As we see the days approaching, He said, “Gather together and do what?” Pray. O ye nation that is no longer desired by the world. He that is rejected, does he reject himself? This is time we should come together and pray.
61. Remember in the Book of Isaiah we saw God telling us how we shall go into our homes, lock up the doors; that we will not remain there for two long. We will remain there until God has finished dealing with our enemies. Our enemies are no other people than the enemies of God.
62. Those that have rejected the word of God, God will keep on dealing with them while we remain inside. When He must have finished with them, He will let us out. Inside does not mean this door. No.
63. If you are not inside Christ, you are outside. If you are not clothed in the righteousness of Christ, I said you are outside. You are naked. You are poor. You are miserable. The wrath of God will never spare you.
64. That is why as we see the days approaching we should be sensible enough, come together and pray as a family that is not even desired but we are the meek of the earth, object of praise to God.
65. “Gather together and pray” gather together and pray. “You shameless nation while there is still time”while there is still time, before judgment begins. Before what? Before judgment begins,and your opportunity is blown away like chaff. Opportunity is blown away like chaff,“before the fierce anger of the Lord falls and the terrible day of His wrath, beg Him to save you all who are humble, all who are”.
66. Beg Him to save you all who are humble, all who have tried to obey, walk humbly and do what is right. Walk humbly and do what is right. “Perhaps, even yet the Lord will protect you from His wrath in that day of doom”.
67. Amplified: ”Collect your thoughts, yes, unbend”.Do what? Collect, gather your thoughts together; gather yourselves together. It does not mean clustering here as we have clustered now. He said gather your scenes together, gather your experiences together.
68. If you know the experiences you have had in this Faith from prophecies to teaching, what you have passed through, gather all of them together as we see the days approaching. Seek the Face of the Lord through prayers and supplications, peradventure you may escape the wrath of God. Peradventure I may escape the wrath of God.
CONCERNING THE HOUR WE ARE LEAVING IN, PLEASE FOR GOD’S SAKE, BE SOBER, BE GENTLE, BE EASILY ENTREATED, ABOVE ALL, LEARN TO FORGIVE OTHERS AND LEARN TO FORGIVE YOURSELF. I REPEAT: LEARN TO FORGIVE OTHERS THE EVIL THEY HAVE DONE TO YOU AND LEARN ALSO TO FORGIVE YOURSELF.BY FORGIVING YOURSELF, I MEAN, DO NOT RENEW THE EVILS OF YESTERDAY IN YOUR HEART. FORGET WHERE YOU FAILED YESTERDAY AND LOOK UP TO WHERE YOU ARE STANDING TODAY.

AS YOU SEE THE DAYS APPROACHING
Collect your thoughts, yes, unbend yourselves in submission and see if there is no sense of shame and no consciousness of sin left in you.
2. Make sure no sense of shame or consciousness of sin left in you. Get rid of all that is wrong, let Me get rid of all that is wrong. My conscience will be void of sin before God, before man. The Spirit of God in Me bearing witness that I have gotten rid of everything and fully surrendered, totally surrendered to the perfect Will of God, for this is the will of God even your sanctification; that is the perfect will of God for all of us.
3. This is the will of God even your sanctification, that you will remain sanctified, holy and pure before the Lord. That is the perfect will of God. Having conscience void of evil before God and before man, no consciousness of sin, no spec of unbelief, no spec of anything radicalism. Cut off every occasion for radicalism or rascality.
4. That rampant outgrowth of radicalism that is found in you that is making you to be senseless, making you to be worthless. Come back to your senses. Let me come back to my senses.
5. Gather yourselves together. When you hear, ‘Gather yourself together,’ are you not shamed? Oh shameless man. Righteousness exalts a nation. A man that can never gather himself together is a shameless fellow. Is it not true?
6. Anybody who cannot gather his senses together, is he not a shameless human being? Every now and then your name is being mentioned. You cannot control yourself. Control your emotions, control your impulses, control your tongue, control everything in you. He is a shameless fellow. If people gather here, he will like to be rebuked and scolded.
7. Gather yourself together; a shameless human being; shameless family that can never get rid of sin from among them.
8. Let there be no consciousness of sin in us remaining; free yourself completely, peradventure, we will escape the anger of the Lord, for the anger of the Lord is being revealed right now gradually spontaneously, not upon the righteous, not upon the righteous, for the Lord can never punish the righteous.
9. The Lord can never, has never and will never punish the righteous. It has never happened before. God torturing the righteous when He is punishing evil men for doing evil and God will see a righteous man, never, never, never. It has not happened before.
10. Hear Me very well, when God is out to punish a city He made it clear to us in the Book of Isaiah and Daniel. Even if God will see Moses, even if God will see Elijah, even if God will see Noah, even if God will see Job, they will save only but themselves. They will save only themselves.
11. They will never save any of their errant children. If in this Family you are the only one that is evil, taking delight in evil and not ready to repent, the presence of the Son of Man in this Family can never save you.
12. The righteousness of the Son of Man can never cover an unbeliever. God said He will save us but not in unbelief. God has never saved anybody in iniquity.
13. So, if you are out of your senses, you are always beside yourself. One that is always beside himself who cannot gather himself together at a time like this, tell Me what you can give as your excuse. That thing does not exist now because everything appears to be failing all mankind. True or false?
14. Everything appears to be failing. Even the air we are breathing in is failing. Since through the air people are breathing in Corona, is the air no longer disappointing them? Water is disappointing. Everything is disappointing mankind.
15. Now since you can see the handwriting on the wall that everything is heading to the revelation of the anger of the Lord upon this wicked world, what do we do as we see the days approaching? Gather yourselves, be in your complete senses, gather your experiences with God together.
16. “Collect your thoughts, yes, unbend yourself in submission and see if there is no sense of shame and no consciousness of sin left in you”.Thank you! ”O shameless nation [not desirous or desired]!, [The time for repentance is speeding by like chaff”.
17. The time for turning to God is doing what? Is speeding by; is eluding us; is speeding by, so sharp, very fast. You may be thinking it is tomorrow; that there is still time left. Then the wrath of God will land on your head.
18. What will be your excuse? Will you say you did not hear the truth? Would you say you do not know the truth? Would you say God never revealed Himself to you? What will you say is your problem?
19. “The time for repentance is speeding by like chaff whirled before the wind!]Therefore consider, before God’s decree brings forth [the curse upon you”Do what? Consider before God’s decree brings forth God’s curse, God’s anger upon you.
20. Therefore consider, before God’s decree brings forth [the curse upon you],before the time [to repent] is gone like the drifting chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord comes upon you
21. So, the time for repenting can pass away. When the anger of the Lord will be revealed instead of repenting people will be cursing God, blaspheming His Name more and more. Why should you be among such people? Because, in short, you allowed your time to while away.
22. You allowed your own time for repentance to while away because of your wild life. You while your time for repentance away.
23. Therefore consider, before God’s decree brings forth the curse upon you before the time to repent is gone like the drifting chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord comes upon you, yes, before the day of the wrath of the Lord comes upon you.
24. Before the day of the full wrath of God will come upon us.
25. ‘Seek the Lord,’ Do what? Seek the Lord. [Inquire for Him, inquire of Him, and require Him as the foremost necessity of your life],
26. Inquire of Him, and require him as the foremost necessity of your life.
27. Is it not like the one we read the other time, that we should treasure the Almighty as our Number One instead of money. Let Him be your treasure. Let the Almighty God be My treasure. Let Him be all I have.
28. Take away my wealth and take away my everything but leave God for me. If through your greed you collect all I have, can you through greed collect God from me?
29. Seek the Lord [inquire for Him, inquire of Him, and require Him as the foremost necessity of your life]All you humble of the land,’ all you humble of the land,
30. ‘Who have acted in compliance with His revealed will and have kept His commandments; seek righteousness.’ Seek what? Righteousness.
31. ‘Seek humility,’ seek what? Humility. ‘Inquire for them, require them as vital.’ Inquire for them; require them in your life as vital elements that will help you to escape the wrath of God.
32. ‘It may be you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.’ Amen!
33. It may be we will all be hidden. God will hide us away in the Day of the revelation of the full wrath of God. We will be hidden from the anger of the Lord, for God knows how to hide us away and then punish the entire wicked world, which has always been His own habit.
34. To you that are very much anxious of making money and doing every other thing, food, shelter, let us go to the Book of Haggai Chapter 1 from verse 3,Living Bible, “His reply to them is this: ‘Is it then the right time for you to live in luxurious homes”.
35. Is this then the right hour to prefer luxury, to go for luxury homes, luxury appetite? My people, is it this time? As we see the days approaching.
36. This is not the time for anything luxury for the Bible said we should learn to endure hardship as able soldiers of Christ for we are not only called to believe in Him but to suffer with Him. For if we suffer with Him we shall reign with Him.
37. Paul enjoined Timothy, ‘As a gallant soldier of Christ, learn to endure hardship.’ We can see hardship staring everybody in the face. This is not the time you will be living in luxury.
38. This is not the time you will be having a special food, a peculiar food:‘I do not eat this one; I do not eat that one.’ This is not the time. You will only be praying that you see something to eat. Am I making sense?
39. It is like we are in the war. What we ate in the war, we called it, “Win-the-war food”. It can be anything. It can be cocoyam garnished with ukpaka (African oil bean).
40. It can be soup with nothing in it. Once you see vegetable in it, you eat it; it could be fluted pumpkin leaves or cassava leaves. It contains no salt, no crayfish, no fish, no meat.
41. We do not know where the whole thing is heading. It may get to a point where you may not even see garri. You get it and drink it. You may not see salt because if the one you have in your area gets finished where will you go to get more since there is no buying, no selling?
42. Everybody will now go inside the house. Where do you run to? You see why God gave us the teachings right from 1992 that the guinea hen told its hatchlings not to depend on yam seedlings alone but also on roots so that when the owner of the yam comes harvesting, they will fall back on the roots.
If you have so trained yourself so that
44. there is a peculiar food, a special food that you desire, you want always, you will never survive this time. You cannot survive it. See yourself as a soldier, a soldier does not reject any food. Once it is food it is food. Anything goat can eat and survive, human beings will eat and survive. That was why we survived the war.
45. Whatever goat eats and survives, any human being that eats it will survive. We ate raw cassava; ate everything raw, that is, if you even saw those food items. We mixed cassava leaves with corn meal and ate to our satisfaction.
46. Where did you even see soup, let alone making preferences of the type you eat and the one you do not eat? This is not the time you will say,‘ This is draw soup, I do not eat it. This is okra soup; I do not eat it. I do not eat this; I do not eat that.’ This is not the time!
IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN NEVER GO SCOT-FREE AND THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY TIME SOMEBODY APPEARED AND GOT SCOT-FREE, YOU WILL NEVER PUT YOUR HAND IN ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU TO BE CALLED TO QUESTION. YOU WILL AVOID EVERYTHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU TO BE CALLED TO QUESTION BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY GOD. FOR EVERY WORD OF GOD YOU BREAK, YOU MUST BE CALLED TO QUESTION. YOU MUST TELL GOD WHY YOU FELT IT IS VERY EASY TO BREAK THAT PORTION OF THE WORD BECAUSE HIS WORD CAN NEVER BE SET ASIDE; IT CAN NEVER BE MADE OF NON-EFFECT; IT CAN NEVER BE BROKEN.
WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION. PREACHED ON 5TH APIRL 1998.

WHAT OUGHT TO BE YOUR CONDUCT AT A TIME LIKE THIS?
There is war! There is war! There is snake in the chef roof. Do not worry. We have not stayed up to one week. If you watch the streets those that thought the thing will only last for a day have wasted their money on drinks for two days and have finished their money.
2. Have you seen it now? You do not know where you are heading. You do not know where the thing is leading everybody to. We are just watching it from the grandstand.
3. Do not worry; with time, you will begin to see. They slated it for 14 days. Go to the banks, no money again. If you go to the Bank, no matter how much you want to collect, they will give you fifty thousand (N50,000).
4. May be, by Monday it will reduce to twenty-five thousand. Go to ATM, chip in something, they will give you twenty-five thousand maximum. You enter the bank, fifty maximum and they work only few hours in a day; from eight to twelve (8am-12noon).
5. By Monday, they may cease operations. The whole micro finances have closed;no services whether skeletal or nothing because they do not keep money. They have First Bank and others as their bankers. So, they do not keep money.
6. So all of them are now pointing you to the main bank, ‘Take your passbook, go there. If you see, take!’ That is where we are.
7. A situation where there is no money, there is no food, what do we do? Like we are running a big family here; no money, no food. Is it the time you begin to select the one you will eat, the one you will not eat? You will be number one to die. Kwashiorkor will kill you.
8. So, that is why everybody is now a soldier, an infantry, ready to eat even lizard. We used lizard to cook soup during the war. Brother Eli, is it a lie? Did one even see lizards back then?
9. Did we even see rats? Anyone who ate rat that time was a big fellow. Nobody saw fowls; fowls disappeared, goats disappeared and even dogs too.
10. So, you cannot say, ‘I do not like this; I do not like that,’ not now. Look at it, it is not the time when you will be looking for luxury; living in a luxurious home. You sleep by six; you wake up by six, not this hour.
11. Gather yourself together. This is the hour of prayer. Seek the face of the Lord, peradventure, we shall escape the wrath of the Lord. We shall escape the anger of the Lord when it is fully revealed; He will hide us away.
12. People are gazing at the sky now because it is about to rain. When you see the clouds gathering you will know it is about to rain, isn’t it? Why can’t you predict the hour you are living in?
13. You can predict it is going to rain and it will rain. You predict it is going to be very hot weather, it will be. Your predictions will be accurate. Why can’t you see the hour you are in; know that death is hanging on your neck? Death is hanging on everybody’s neck right now.
14. You do not know what we are saying. So, this is the time to gather yourself together, come back to your senses, gather your thoughts, gather your experiences.
15. The crevice others passed through, we shall also pass through; whatever others ate and remained alive, we shall also eat and survive. Read that place again, ‘It is not the time for luxury,’
16. ‘Is it then the right time for you to live in luxurious homes?’ Is this the time for luxurious life? Is it this time? Is it this time? This is not the time for luxurious food and luxurious this and that. This is the time of hardship.
17. I am not the One that created it in this Family. It is the situation we have found ourselves. Begin now to adjust your mind, adjust your senses, gather yourselves together; be humble, be meek, be lowly. Seek the Lord. Let your satisfaction be Almighty God.
18. ‘Is it then the right time for you to live in luxurious homes,’ no it is not this time,‘ when the Temple lies in ruins? What is the temple? BUILDING THE TRUE TEMPLE. You are the temple. Your temple is your soul. Is it not true?
19. I am the Living Temple of God where God dwells. If it lies in ruins that means, there is nothing inside. You will throw yourself unto the bed sleeping endlessly; eating and changing different diets when the real temple of God where the Spirit inhabits is just empty; porous. There is nothing inside it. There is nothing inside.
20. 5’Look at the result: 6You plant much but you harvest little.’ You do what? You plant much but you harvest little. Bro. Eli, are you hearing what I am saying?
21. We should not be like those that are having sleepless nights over farming. Despite all the planting we did, what have we got as harvest? We spend much time planting, we harvest a little.
22. “You plant much, but harvest little. You have scarcely enough to eat or drink”, inspite of everything, what do we get? Scarcely.
23. “And not enough clothes to keep you warm. Your income disappears”.Your income disappears; you collect income and put it in a porous pocket.
24. “As though you were putting it into pockets filled with holes. ‘Think it over,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘Consider how you have acted and what has happened as a result”.
25. What! How you have acted and what has happened as a result. “8Then go up into the mountains, bring down timber and rebuild My Temple, and I will be pleased with it and appear there in My glory”, says the Lord. You hope for much but get so little,’ You hope for much but get what?
26. “So little” so little, “and when you bring it home, I blow it away”. You bring it home; God will blow it away. Hunger will still clamp down on you more.
27. “It doesn’t last at all”. It does not last at all. You greedily grab from here; grab from there and when you get home, God will blow it away.
28. ‘Why? Because my temple lies in ruins. ’Why? The temple of God lies in ruins. There is nothing in that fellow; he is empty.
29. “Because my temple lies in ruins, and you don’t care. Your only concern is your own fine homes”.Your only concern is what? Your fine home; yourself.
30. “That is why I am holding back the rains from heaven and giving you such scant crops”.Stop there. Selfishness.
31. Verse 3.Amplified, ”Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the Prophet, saying, 4‘Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house [of the Lord]lies in ruins? 5 Now therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways”. Do what? Consider your ways!
32. 5 Now therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Consider your ways, and set your mind on what has come to you. Set your minds on what? What has come to you.’ Let our minds be on what has come to us. Something has come to us. That is where our eyes should be focused. What do we do that we may escape the wrath of God? As we see the days approaching, we turn to the Lord. We seek His face through prayer, through waiting and watching, gather ourselves together,gather our thoughts together, peradventure we shall escape at the end. The Lord will hide us away.
33. Who are the people He is referring to? The meek, the humble, the righteous of the earth. These are the people that obeyed God’s command. True or false? You that obey the Lord’s command, you are the one that is being commanded to do this.
34. But the disobedient, it does not concern him. Let the disobedient continue to be disobedient.
35. 6You have sown much, but you have reaped little; you eat, but you do not have enough; you drink, but you do not have your fill; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages has earned them to put them in a bag with holes in it, porous pockets.
36. ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: consider your ways.’ Do what? consider your ways. Sit down.‘(Your previous and present conduct), your previous and present conduct, ‘and how you have fared.’
37. And how you have fared. Consider your ways as we see the days approaching both present and previous conducts and where they landed you. What you earned from them, both the civil servant, the farmer, the businessman and the students.
38. Everybody should consider his own. If you know what you do for a living, that is where your own sin will come from. Whatever vocation one is into; one’s occupation is where one’s sin comes from. Is it a lie?
39. We better face the facts because there is something that has come to us. There is something that has come to us. True or false? Isn’t there something that has come upon the world? There is something that has come upon the world.
40. Are we not living in the world? Did not God tell us that we shall get our own fair share? We are getting our own fair share. What do we do that we do not get the larger share?
DON’T CAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT SORROW BY THE WAY YOU LIVE. REMEMBER, HE IS THE ONE WHO MARKS YOU TO BE PRESENT ON THAT DAY WHEN SALVATION FROM SIN WILL BE COMPLETE.
EPHESIANS 4:30 (LB)

ARE YOU WORTHY OF
GOD’S CONFIDENCE?
Let us go to the Book of Isaiah Chapter 66:1. I want to consider something.
2. 1Thus says the Lord: Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house would you build for Me? And what kind can be My resting-place.
3. For all these things My hand has made and so all these things have come into being (by and for Me), says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard:’
4. This is the man I will look and have regard.
5. ‘But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble,’ he who is what? Humble. Oh! no. Any contradiction? Look at the man, look at the woman, look at the child I will look at and then have regard.
6. God cannot have regard for a fool who says that there is no God. God can never have regard for somebody who is always disobedient to God’s word, who finds it difficult to bend down and pray and seek the Lord’s Face. Somebody who cannot repent of his evil ways, somebody who cannot gather himself together, think about his past life, past ways, think about his present life, actions, your deeds and what have been following you.
7. God cannot regard somebody who cannot gather himself together, think about his life. God says, ‘Consider your ways.’ Since you have been eating, has your stomach got filled? Is there anything one will eat on earth that will satisfy him? Eat and eat and eat, you will never get filled.
8. Is there any number of cloths you will wear in this life and say cloths have finished? Can cloths ever get finished? Can sweet and pleasant things ever get finished?
9. Just as you are emerging from the usage of one, you will be presented with a more pleasant one. You struggle and make money and put it in a porous pocket. Within two days, plunge your hand into your pocket, you will realize the money is gone.
10. Why can’t man consider his ways? Yet these are the things that engender pride in people, making people to disobey the word of God
11. God is always looking for the humble and meek of the earth, the humble and the meek. If you are not meek and humble you can hardly obey the word of God. For the way up is down. For God exalts the humble and then debases the proud. Is it a lie?
12. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Whoever humbles himself, God will exalt him. Whoever exalts himself, God will debase.
13. What do you think is the reason why the devil could not humble himself? Is it not pride? Anybody that tells you that he will not obey the word of God, watch him, nothing causes it more than pride; pride of life. He is not ready to humble himself in the spirit, humble himself in the flesh. And God can never regard that person.
14. God can never look up to you. You can never be worthy of God’s confidence; God can never rely on you. Job was worthy of God’s confidence, true or false?
15. Noah was worthy of God’s confidence. Abraham was worthy of God’s confidence. Even Lot was worthy of God’s confidence, the apostles and the prophets.
16. Are you worthy of God’s confidence? Can God look at you? Can God regard you? If God sees you, what do you think will be His attitude towards you? What will be the reaction of God concerning you? You see why God said, ‘As we see the days approaching, let us gather ourselves together,’ not gathering on a bench, ‘let us sit down’. No.
17. He is not talking about gathering in the compound, no. He said, gather your thoughts, gather your experiences, gather your senses, stop being foolish like a mule which is always being guided by a whip.
18. Stop being a foolish fellow that will only live right when spoken to and when the speaker keeps mute you go back to your old ways.
19. Look at the opportunity God is giving us. It is running away. It is running fast, that is, time for repentance because we have not seen the full wrath of God.
20. Somebody who is serious can equally make it now. A student that is serious with his studies can level up even with one semester. He will level up. Is it a lie?
21. I am telling you that even tonight somebody can make a vow binding his life to level up tonight. Enough is enough. You can say it to yourself and you will make it with the help of God because once you desire it and work towards it, God will give you a helping Hand.
22. But when you are full of yourself, pride, hypocrisy, craftiness and subtlety cannot allow you to address the truth.
23. These are the things that disorganize an individual: the things you have in your heart and what you are racking up in your brain. Is it a lie? And check all those things you are indulging in, since you started with them, what have you gained in them?
24. Where have they landed you? Both the drinking, the eating, the craftiness where did it all land you? Reject your past experiences. Check your present, check your past experiences and then consider your ways.
25. ‘But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard.’ Look at the man, look at the woman, look at the child God will look at and have regard. He will look at him and respect him. God honours an individual.
26. God said and I quote, ‘Let it be an abomination unto Me if I do not honour those that honour Me.’ When you regard God, God will regard you; when you look up to God, God will look up to you.
27. The same cup you use to measure to God must surely comeback to you. Make no mistake about it, any seed a man soweth, that he must reap.
28. ‘But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard, he who is humble,’ this is the man to whom I will look and have regard.
29. Pay attention, when God was saying,‘If I want to destroy a city and I see a righteous man, I will never destroy him together with the wicked, because God will regard him.’ God will look at him, true or false? True.
30. ‘But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit,’ Amen! A broken and contrite spirit.
31. ‘He who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit and who trembles at my word,’ who does what? Trembles at My word. Hallelujah! Who feareth the Lord and respects the Word of God and avoids evil.
32. You see, to fear God is to refrain from evil. When God wanted to number the people He will save, as we see in the Investigative Judgment, He went to the city using lantern to do scanning. All whose souls were vexed by the evil that was prevailing in that day, those who hated that evil, their spirit avoided it, God numbered all of them and marked all of them.
33. All that were vexed by the evil that was in the world, those that are not a part of that evil, rather wherever they see that evil they condemn it, bible said God went and numbered all of them. They are not happy with what is happening.
34. God said, ‘No. These people are not worthy to be earthly. It will take a heavenly one to hate evil that is being done here on earth.’ Is it a lie? Good! When you are heavenly bound, you will hate everything earthly. Once you are heavenly bound, you must hate everything earthly.
35. The bible said in Colossians that we should have little desires of the things of the earth as a dead man has. Does a dead man have a single desire for anything?
36. Even the six feet does not belong to him. In other words, we should deaden our affections concerning the things that are earthly. Deaden it; mortify your flesh, mortify your desires.
37. Those you desired after and got, what did you do with them? Money, beauty and pride, where did they land us? They only made us resist the word of God? Did they achieve any other purpose? They made us take the word of God for granted.
38. Promise, I hope you are paying attention before I will send you away. Because when you become an evil spirit, I will excommunicate you from My presence and from the House. You will go and die at the boundary.
39. ‘But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard, he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, who trembles at my word,’
40. One that will be gripped with fear when He hears the word of God. He will shake. The fear of God worketh repentance; is it a lie?
41. The fear of God is to avoid evil. You cannot fear God and you will be doing what God said you shouldn’t do, something that should not be named among us as becometh children of God, why should I be repeating it over and over? No, no, no.
42. That goes to show that I do not have the fear of God in my heart. The fear of God restrains us from evil.
43. ‘He who trembles at my word and reveres my command,’ one that trembles at My word and reveres My command; he respects the word of God, respects the instructions from God.
44. In short, that he has not done it is because God has not said so. Once God speaks, he is there. The moment God speaks, he is there, straight away because he respects and esteems the word of God more than his life because his life and the word of God are one.
45. Denying the word means denying yourself. Disobeying the word means disobeying yourself. Whatever we are doing to the word we are doing to ourselves if we really belong to God; just like husband and wife.
46. A man that smites the wife is smiting himself because they are one body, one soul, one spirit. Is it not true? If you are wicked to your wife, you are wicked to yourself. You kill your wife; you are killing yourself. The two are one.
47. ‘[The acts of the hypocrite worship are as abominable to God as if they were offered to idols].’
48. Hallelujah! Acts of hypocritical worship are an abomination; as abominable as a sacrifice rendered to idols. When you have not made up your mind for one day to obey God, like they told Jeremiah, ‘Let us tell you the truth, stop talking, stop wasting your time and energy for we have never for one day decided to worship God or obey Him.’ Their own is better preferred; their own is not hypocrisy. But a hypocrite is worse than that.
49. A hypocrite is worse because they were too open, they were straightforward, they said what they did not want but a hypocrite pretends he is humble when he is not, he pretends he is obeying when he is not obeying.
50. Because in him, oh no, is full of craftiness, subtlety and every evil work. The heart can never be exonerated in that condition. That is why God is hammering on this topic, AS WE SEE THE DAYS APPROACHING.
51. What do I mean by the days? The days of the full revelation of the wrath of God; when the Lord will reveal his full anger on the land who will survive it?
52. ‘The acts of the hypocrite’s worship are as abominable to God as if they were offered to idols. He who kills an ox [then] will be as guilty as if he slew and sacrificed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb or a kid, as if he broke a dog’s neck and sacrificed him; he who offers a cereal offering, as if he offered a swine’s blood,’
53. Which means whatever sacrifice, the highest will be a human being. God said they are abominable sacrifices. Any service a hypocrite is rendering to God is an abomination in the sight of God.
54. The prayer of a hypocrite is also an abomination before God. Is it not scripture? For God will not answer it. God will not take delight in such sacrifices and services that are being rendered hypocritically. Oh no!
55. I do not know what to say again. And God is offering us help tonight as we see the days approaching. Let us gather ourselves, retrace our thoughts back.
56. In time past, how we have lived, how we have acted and today, how we are still living, how we are still acting. And what has been befalling us, the result of all our actions as a result of hypocrisy, hypocritical worship, hypocritical service. How can God save such a person?
57. You are paving your way into hell because opportunity has been given to you to act right and you refused to act right because you think you can outsmart God. No.
58. You can outsmart your fellow human beings but you cannot outsmart God for God seeth all things; knoweth all things even the hearts of all men are naked before God for all things are naked unto God whom we are having dealings with.
59. ‘He who burns incense [to God], as if he blessed an idol.[Such people] have chosen their own ways,’ such people have done what? Chosen their own ways. Such people have done what? Chosen their own ways. That is what is written.
60. ‘And they delight in their abominations,’ they delight themselves in their abomination. It gives them great joy. They have vowed never to walk in God’s ways; they will never follow God’s ways of doing something. They delight themselves in walking in their own ways.
61. I really thank God tonight. You see as we see the days approaching, we should refrain from walking in our own ways and begin to desire to walk in the ways of God.
62. That is why the Psalmist said, ‘Help me, oh God and teach me to walk in your ways; let me prefer obedience to your word to making money.’
63. Do not permit me to walk in my ways anymore. And I will never walk in my own ways anymore.
64. That is what God wants to hear from us, peradventure, if we can change tonight, God will hide us away from His anger; we will escape His eternal punishment. That is why He is offering us this trip. It is a very nice trip. See salvation boat passing by swiftly.
65. Why not make haste, grip it, and jump in. See whether God will not accept you tonight. Yes, because the broken and contrite spirit, God will not overlook. Tear your heart and not your garment.
66. Let your heart be broken with sorrow for your past life; broken with pains for your past life and see whether God will not accept you. The prayer of a broken heart, a contrite spirit the Lord will never forsake.
67. A man who comes to God with every sincerity of heart tonight, truly speaking, with full repentance, he will be God’s delight. God will look up to you and God will regard you.
68. Tonight, if you hear about this opportunity, you have this opportunity you allow it to roll away may be thinking there is going to be another time, you may go to bed without coming out. You may go out tomorrow without coming back.
69. What if you become a victim of Corona tonight? Tomorrow you land in the General Hospital, in isolation and die there, because unbelief attracts leprosy. Corona is another form of leprosy. Unbelief, hypocrisy attracts punishment from God.
70. ‘So, I also will choose their delusions and mockings, their calamities and afflictions, and I will bring their fears upon them,’ you see, ‘because when I called, no one answered.’
71. When I called, they did not answer. I stretched My hand to help, they never received My hand. They rejected My Hand, rejected help and are still working in their own ways.
72. ‘When I spoke, they didn’t listen or obey.’ When God spoke, they paid deaf ears. You talk, they close their ears thinking this world will just continue like that. And they forget that human beings upon this earth are bound with time.
73. Our lives are tied to time.
THEN, AT THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT, ALL THAT DIED, YOUNG AND OLD, ALL THAT THE RIVER SWALLOWED, NO MATTER THE WAY THEY PASSED, EVERYBODY WILL COME OUT; THOSE THAT ATE THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS AND PASSED THE FAECES, YOU WILL SEE THOSE PEOPLE COMING BACK TO LIFE FOR GOD’S JUDGMENT COMES. THOSE THAT HAVE DONE GOOD, TO THE RESURRECTION OF ETERNAL LIFE. THOSE THAT HAVE DONE WICKED, TO THE RESURRECTION OF ETERNAL SHAME AND DAMNATION; THEY WILL BE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE, WHICH IS THE “SECOND DEATH”.

GOD’S WRATH IS REVEALED
But they did what was evil in my sight and chose that in which I did not delight. Hear the word of the Lord you who tremble at His word; Your brethren who hate you, who cast you out for My Name’s sake, have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy! ’But it is they who shall be put to shame.’ It is they that shall be put to shame. This is your own part. Living Bible verse 5, ‘Hear the words of God all you who fear Him and tremble at his word: Your brethren hate you and cast you out for being loyal to My Name. ‘Glory to God,’ they scoff. ‘Be happy in the Lord’, but they shall be put to shame.’
2. They shall be put to shame. All those that laughed at us, they are all regretting now. Some are even willing if we can open the gate for them to come in here; even if it is to get God’s collection that will help them.
3. In no distant time, the righteous shall shine like beacon lights when we shall possess the earth; ungodliness will be banished, evil will be banished together with evil men and women.
4. Then what shall be the position of hypocrites among us? They will be destroyed with them also. Let us go to the New Testament because I do not want us to spend much time.
5. Romans 1:17-18, ‘For in the Gospel,’ for in the Gospel, in the message of Christ, ‘a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed,’ a righteousness that God ascribes to people is revealed. Righteousness of God is revealed.
6. God ascribes righteousness to the humble, to the meek, to the lowly, to those who tremble at His word; they run away from evil. God ascribes righteousness to them. That is why they will never perish.
7. They will never be put to shame, they will never be disappointed for the Lord who they tremble at His word has now imputed righteousness on them, say, ‘When you obey the Lord, it shall be unto you, your righteousness.’
8. The righteousness that God ascribes to people is revealed in the Gospel of Christ.
9. ‘For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith].
10. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith. For God’s [holy] wrath and indignation, ‘are revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,’
11. ‘who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative,’ repress, hinder the truth and make the truth inoperative in their lives.
12. Living Bible: ‘This Good News tells us that God makes us ready for heaven,’ this Good News does what? Tells us that God makes us ready for heaven, sure!
13. ‘makes us right in God’s sight- when we put our faith and trust in Christ to save us. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith.’
14. ‘As the Scripture says it, ‘The man who finds life will find it through trusting God,’ yes, not trusting your wealth or trusting yourself,
15. ‘But God shows His anger from heaven,’ God reveals His anger; shows His anger from heaven,
16. ‘against all sinful, evil men,’ against all sinful evil men and women, young and old,
17. ‘who push away the truth from them’. Who do what? ‘We are not yet ready to obey; we have not made up our minds to serve God.’ The anger of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodly people, sinful people, disobedient people, that push away the truth from them.
18. If the gospel of Christ comes, they set it aside because they want to have their way. Pride can never allow them to humble themselves down. Once you are meek, you are humble, you are lowly obedience to the truth is very easy, very easy.
19. Just like I have said here that this is the time of hardship, not the time of luxury life, tell Me what will make somebody to begin to reject food prepared in your own home at a time like this? The time for variety is over.
20. I said, the time for variety is over. That is why I appreciate My daughter Onyedikachi who brought up her children in such a way that they eat everything; Ijeoma, the same thing; all of them, even at a tender age.
21. They do not prepare separate food for them. Whatever is prepared for the family all of them will eat, both yam, plantain, draw soup, egusi soup, everything. So, what am I saying?
22. The anger of the Lord is revealed from heaven against every disobedient fellow; people with corrupt minds, hypocrites among us.
23. Good News Bible: ‘For the Gospel reveals how God puts people right with Himself; it is through faith from the beginning to end. As the scripture says, ‘The person who is put right with God through faith shall live.’
24. ‘God’s anger is revealed from heaven against all the sin and evil of the people whose evil ways prevent the truth from being known.’ God does notlook at them lightly. So, let us repent while there is still time. Romans 2:7-8(AMP), ‘To those who by patient persistence in well doing [springing from piety],’they are patient, they are also persistent.
25. They are not erratic. ‘To those who by patient persistence in well doing [springing from piety],’ springing frompiety, that is purity of heart, it is not the one done with a wicked heart; it is done with a pure heart, with love and it remains steadfast in righteousness, ‘[springing from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honour and [the eternal blessedness of] immortality, he will give eternal life.’
26. Hallelujah! He will give them what? Eternal life! He will give such people eternal life as we see the days approaching. King James, ‘To them who by patient continuance in well doing, seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life.’ To them who by patient continuance in well doing, seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life. ‘But unto them that are contentious,’ but unto them that are contentious, ‘and do not obey the truth,’ and do not obey the truth, ‘but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,’ but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath of God abideth on them. Yes, finish up in Amplified bible, verse 8, ‘but for those who are self-seeking and self-willed,’ oh no, ‘self-seeking, self-willed and disobedient to the truth but responsive to wickedness, there will be indignation and wrath.’ There will be what? God’s indignation and wrath.
27. Who will like to fall within this category? Who will like to be somebody like this? In the land of the upright, you will now be the only one on the crooked path? Who will like to be that person? Brethren, as we see the days approaching we remind ourselves of these truths.
28. This is the time to seek the Lord. This is the time to get rid of everything that is wrong in our lives. This is the time for us to humble ourselves as the meek of the earth and then pray, peradventure, the Lord will hide us away from His anger which is about to be fully revealed upon the planet earth because of willful rejection of the truth; willful rejection of God simply because man wants to have his own way.
29. Nobody wants to follow the way of God. We sing in our song, ‘Show me Thy way, oh Lord, that I may follow You. I will walk in the truth for there is life in Thee. Show me Thy way, oh Lord, that I may follow You. I will walk in the truth for there is life in Thee.’ That is the song of one who wants to make it at this point in time. You look up to Christ. Christ will look up to you. He said, God will look up to you and then regard you. May God regard all of us. that is my prayer.
30. May we all be worthy of the Lord’s confidence. May we all walk in a way where God will be pleased with all of us by living the life of obedience to the truth, by remaining straight forward. Get rid of all hypocrisy; get rid of all evil and sinful habits, subtlety, craftiness, mind wandering, get rid of all. Our crave for materialism: desire to be this, desire to be that, all we have been doing in time past, where did it land us? So, let us consider our ways.
31. Let’s gather ourselves together; gather our senses. But if there be any who fails to do that, he must be shameless for it takes a shameless fellow to continue in evil after knowing the truth.
32. It takes one who is foolish who is on his way to destruction, who can never cover his face in shame; it takes such a person to take delight in iniquity, take delight in doing abominable things.
33. It is only a shameless fellow that continues in evil; that would always want to be rebuked and indicted; that would always want his name to be mentioned all the time as a sign that he is a tough fellow.
34. That person is shameless but what will destroy him is already on the way. That’s why as we see the days approaching, let us walk in a way that God will regard us so that when His wrath is revealed fully, we will not be partakers.
35. Let us begin to desire God’s glory, God’s honour, immortality by faith and God will grant us with eternal life. Let us pray. Let somebody lead us in prayer.
36. AS WE SEE THE DAYS APPROACHING, that is our topic tonight. I want somebody that is touched by the Spirit of Christ; the Spirit of the Word; one that trembles at God’s Word; one that is having that real desire to obey God; one that needs God’s help. I need somebody to pray for us.

20. Father, King of glory even the bad dreams we have had, we cancel them. Father may you continue to shoot this Family up high. Continue to bless us, oh Lord, and continue to see us through, oh Lord.
21. All our brethren in this most Precious Faith, continue to bless them and continue to see them through oh Lord. Those that strayed away use your word and bring them back. Those that still have the gift of your spirit, still bring them back to Your Fold.
22. We use this opportunity to commit our ministers into your hands; knowing that it is not an easy task, Father be with them, oh Lord. May they never be carried away.
23. Forgive them all their sins and trespasses. Anyone lacking spirituality, Father fill that person with Your Holy Spirit. But to those that have sworn never to walk with you, Father destroy them oh Lord; never have mercy on them, oh Lord.
24. They are the persons that are stopping the translation of our mortal bodies. Father, King of glory, use Your own Hand and do the separation; use Your Hand and fish out all the hypocrites among us and make them never to prosper, oh Lord.
25. Put them where they belong to and continue to uplift the righteous to the glory of Your Name. Take all glory, take all honour for we pray through the Mighty Name Peter, The Christ our Lord. Amen.
