INTRODUCTION

Pray

To You O LORD of Hosts, Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN, the Glory of the Bride, the pride of the Saints in an hour like this. The only One and True God, the Alpha and Omega, the Hope of our rejoicing, the only God that liveth and reigneth forever and ever;
You are the God that created the heavens and the earth, even the fullness therefore. Our Mercy Seat, the Righteous Judge, we have come to You O LORD just as we are, as the Workmanship of Your hands, created, fashioned and designed by You unto good works.
We have come as wretched as we are, mortal flesh that drink iniquity as we drink water daily. We come, O LORD with our hearts broken because of our gross misconducts. We come O LORD with contrite spirits, shattered O God by our negligence to your godly instructions, commands and admonitions For which cause O King of Glory, Lord, Son of Man, our lives are not giving us what we really want to be, for which cause our daily conducts are not pleasing to you;
Our daily lives are not making you happy and glad, for which cause a good number of us are falling short of the standard.
By Faith Father, we approach You this day, and not by works, for by the works of the flesh, no human being can approach You, for the flesh is full of iniquity. Lord, Son of Man, if there be anything challenging, it is the flesh that is challenging the spirit.
No human being has ever been justified by the deeds of the flesh, for by the deeds of the flesh, You said it is impossible to please You. So nobody has ever pleased You by the deeds, and works of the flesh, for they are vanities of all vanities.
This day Father, we therefore plead with You to listen to our pleas as we make our cases. May our daily lives and conducts from now henceforth please and make You glad always.
We are looking forward for that glorious day when You will clothe us with our immortal body, and that will be the fullness and the completeness of our salvation in You; the only one purpose for which we have embraced You.
This is because You first of all loved us and we are loving You in return, so that in the end, we shall dwell with You eternally.
Do not Father, deny us this privilege. Father, oversee our daily activities. One thing we request of Thee is to create Your fear in us so that we can stand rightly and worship You in the beauty of Your Holiness and to live our lives and conduct ourselves in such a way that You will be pleased and be glad with us at all times.
We bow low before You, thanking You, believing O LORD, that all is well with us and You, for the Psalmist said that nothing gives him joy than when he wakes up every morning and notices that there is nothing standing between God and himself, and that all is well between us and You.
So, we are rejoicing that by this supplication and prayers You will hearken and do more than we have asked to the glory of Your Most Holy Name. LORD, we say THANK YOU!
To Your Name O LORD, we give all the praise. To Your Name, we give the glory. To Your Name we give honour, Help us to worship You rightly and live our lives in the way that will give you joy, happiness and glory not only today but till we are clothed with our immortal body.
LORD, all these things we ask, believing that You will do as we have asked of You, through the Name, Peter the Christ our LORD. Amen!

God is not pleased with anybody for pleasing sake. Before He will testify about me and you, He must be certain that the type of life we are going to live, He must know that we will have the ability to control what He has entrusted in our hands. That nobody is going to abuse it because God doesn’t want to cast our gold to swine, for the swine will end up playing with it.

PLEASING GOD IS ALL ABOUT SELF-SACRIFICE

Remain blessed saints of the Most High God. It is expedient for us to keep on putting ourselves in remembrance of God’s demands and His requirements in our daily lives. Pleasing God is about self-sacrifice.

It’s about choosing to walk in the ways of the Lord even if you feel left out. Pleasing God means obeying and following His word and not turning from it to the left or right.
God delights greatly in those that worship Him in spirit and in truth. And the Bible confirmed it in the book of Psalms.
Psalm 147:11-12 The Lord takes pleasure in those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy and loving-kindness. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! Amplified version
MSG verse 10-12 He’s not impressed with horsepower; the size of our muscles means little to him. Those who fear GOD get GOD’s attention; they can depend on his strength. Jerusalem, worship GOD! Zion, praise your God!
NIV verse 11 only The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
To be honest, it is challenging for us believers and true Elects of God in this Faith to live a life that is pleasing and making our God the Son of Man glad as we keep on waiting for our immortal body which is sure and certain.
There are too many distractions in this world. It is easy to get caught up with the things of this world instead of the Lord. That is why we need to know the benefits of pleasing God so that we can set our hearts on the right things.
This time calls for a total change of character immediately and reconcile with God. If we are doing anything in the house of God, let us not aim at pleasing men. Rather, let God be pleased. But if we are aiming at pleasing men, well, we have no reward.
So let’s do away with every trace of deceit and unbelief in our individual lives that is not pleasing and making God glad.
Remember, when truth is lifted up, God will be pleased with us because wherever truth is, God is there.
The question arises, in our various families today, which family can we find this truth? Among the ministers, which one can we find holding this truth, which is the only evidence that God will be pleased with?
Come to talk of we the youths, check all, we are even worst than the ancient men, for which cause, God is lamenting and crying daily to see if there could be any sincere, few minority that would come out fully in spirit and in truth to walk and work with Him so as to consolidate the last victory of the saints of God worldwide.
Our fathers, mothers and even infants are nothing to write home about. To that effect, our daily lives are not pleasing God neither is God happy with us in this closing period of the history of mankind.
God is worshipped only where there is truth. Where then can this truth be found among us in an hour like this? Only in God’s Holy family and among the few co-opted God-fearing despised elects.
Now, what is God saying concerning you and I? Because what God is saying concerning me is what counts.
We are not in this Most Holy Faith to please any man. We are in this Most Holy Faith to make sure as individuals that God is pleased.
It should be my duty to please Him always. And it should be your duty also to please God always. What is your own duty?
We have to resolve within ourselves as individuals whether our duty is to please God or to displease Him. The choice we make on this all important matter at stake will determine our attitudes toward His word from now onwards.
Pleasing God means trusting that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him diligently. It means believing in the Son of Man, the Lord Christ in our midst, accepting Him as your Lord and Saviour, and allowing Him to lead you in all that you do.
And in the book of Hebrews 11:6 It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why! Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that He exists and that He cares enough to respond to those who seek Him. MSG
Amplified version But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].
God is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him out. And His eternal blessings upon us are immeasurable compared to what we think we would gain in this world by being disobedient to His Majesty.
PSALM 84:11-12 All sunshine and sovereign is GOD, generous in gifts and glory. He doesn’t scrimp with his traveling companions. It’s smooth sailing all the way with GOD of the Angel Armies. MSG
True Elects of God, Something important that we need to understand is that pleasing God the Son of Man in our midst does not just happen. We need to be intentional, willing, desiring, aiming at, striving at and be ready daily about it.
We also need to remember that the Lord sees the heart and not the outside appearance. And there is a great difference between pleasing God and impressing God.
That is why the Son of Man said that He will tell some people at the end of time, “I never knew you.” May it never be our portion at the end! Amen.
The same case with the Pharisees when Jesus Christ said this to them as recorded in the book of Matthew 7:21-23 MSG “Knowing the correct password—saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance—isn’t going to get you anywhere with me.
What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, ‘Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.’
And do you know what I am going to say? ‘You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don’t impress me one bit. You’re out of here’. May it never be our portion! Amen.
The Holy Qur’an also warned us to desist from show off and to stop impressing God but to worship God in spirit and in truth Surah 39:14-15. Say (O Muhammad Salla Alaihi Wasallam) “Allah Alone I worship by doing religious deeds sincerely for His sake only and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship.”
So worship what you like besides Him. Say (O Muhammad Salla Alaihi Wasallam): “The losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, that will be a manifest loss!” (Sheikh Sudais Translation)
It doesn’t mean God is rejecting us. If you never spend time with your friend, parents, spouse, children, they could also say about you and you about them, “I never knew you.” As Jerry B. Jenkins said: “Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship.”
The same thing, worshipping God is not a religion, not to be prominent; not to become rich in the world or a lucrative business but to build a formidable relationship which is vine-branch relationship with God the Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN.
What we do and say do not matter if our hearts are not set on God. The Pharisees focused so much on doing things to please God, but their hearts were far from Him. We need to please God inwardly before we can do it outwardly.
One may ask, “How can I live to please God?” God helping me I will answer this question using the Scriptures and the Spoken Word of the Son of Man, step by step and one after another.
In a simple way and in such a way and manner that even kids in our midst would understand the real meaning of pleasing and making God the Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN glad as we come to the end of everything, and as we patiently wait for our immortal body lest we fall before our target
The question is “How can I live to please God?” For us to live and please God at this period of time:
1. Basically let us be spiritually minded: God is a spirit, and to connect with Him and become Christ-like, we need to be spiritually minded.
That is why God the Son of Man first of all came, introduced and gave us the Bible as a reference point, making the Bible a new Book in our hands by injecting power and spirit in the written word and interpreting it rightly. The words written in it are spirit and life.
After that, He now gave us the Original seed and the Original Life which is His Spoken Words.
When we study these messages given to us by the Almighty God in our midst, the Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena, BBHMHN and meditate on them daily, our minds are transformed, and we become spiritually-minded.
Turn with me to the Message, DEATH: THE LAST ENEMY TO CONQUER VOL.2; PREACHED ON SUNDAY 19^TH DECEMBER 2021 AT THE BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE NIGERIA. BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN. Page 112 verse 90-93.
Page 136 verse 62 – 68. If after hearing this message you still allow yourself to be tormented by the spirit of fear of death, it then means you have lost the revelation of what you are.
Tell God to teach you how to conduct yourself in the hour we are living in. It requires somebody whose heart is upright and perfect to worship God.
Tell God to take away every iniquity. God searcheth the heart and the deeds; he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Stop limping between two opinions. If God is God, worship Him! If He is not God, leave Him alone!
The hour has come for us to take the full inventory of our lives. There is no need to stand on the fence; there is no half believer; you are either a believer or an unbeliever.
I have given you all these things so that you can study them. Pray hard that the Lord will help you; any time you will die, you will die the death of the righteous. Amen!

“AVOID SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT LIVE AND TRUST IN CHRIST ALONE.” Avoid self-righteousness, live and trust in Christ alone. I will show you self-righteousness in the scripture.St. Mathew chapter 5 verse 20, “For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. KJV.

Secrets of Retaining Your Sanctified Estate (Volume 2) Preached on 3^rd October, 2000 PG.127:36-37

HOW CAN I LIVE TO PLEASE GOD 1?

A spiritually-minded person focuses on the things of God. Their quest in life is to please their Heavenly Father. But remember until He God sees the willingness and readiness in me and you before He would lend a helping hand.

For He said that, He is tired of begging people that are not ready and willing to worship Him in spirit and in truth at a time like this and He is saying bye bye.
ROMANS 8:5-10 MSG Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life.
Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end;
Attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God.
Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.
Saints of God Let’s underline this verse 8 in our hearts. I repeat verse 8, “And God isn’t pleased at being ignored”you see why we must know what to do and how to live our daily lives to please God as we wait for our immortal body.
Ignoring God means that you know the end of your life and you already know your way to paradise which is not true, but the deceitfulness of sin and the glamour of iniquity is what is blinding most people’s eyes in our midst.
Let’s continue with the scripture I quoted Romans 8 from verses 8-10 And God isn’t pleased at being ignored. But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him.
Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won’t know what we’re talking about. But for you who welcome him, in whom he dwells—even though you still experience all the limitations of sin—you yourself experience life on God’s terms. Amen!
Turn with me to the Message, NO DECEPTION IS OF THE TRUTH VOL. 1; Preached By THE SON OF MAN on Sunday 28^th January 2001; Pg. 90 vs. 40 – 41. Whosoever God sends in your day is the God of your day. Once He finds fault with you, God has found fault with you.
When you are pleasing Him, you are pleasing the person that sent Him. If your relationship with Him is strained, forget about eternal life because your relationship with God is strained.
If you dare pull on His shirt, you are pulling on God’s shirt. When you mock Him, you are mocking God. You ridicule Him, you are ridiculing God. You ignore Him, you are ignoring God.
You will not see another God than He that is sent, for God Himself dwells in whom He has sent.
“How can I live to please God?” 2. Obey God Apostle Peter Odoemena The Very Son of Man BBHMHN:
Saints and true Elects of God, let us be honest to ourselves – It is challenging to remain obedient to God in this world, especially today when evil is preferred over good.
Socialization and sophistication is preferred over spirituality. However, we need to follow what the word of God says, and that is to obey God in all that we do.
Turn with me to the Message, CONDEMNED AND AWAITING EXECUTION VOL 3; Preached On Sunday 29^th August 2021 @ THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. Page 71 verse 28-33.
DO NOT GIVE YOUR WHOLE ATTENTION TO MARRIAGE AND ALL THE TROUBLES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN MARRIAGE. A MAN THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD GIVES HIS WHOLE ATTENTION TO PLEASING HIS WIFE.
THE WIFE GIVES HER WHOLE ATTENTION TO PLEASING HER HUSBAND AND WHEN A WOMAN IS ALL OUT TO PLEASE THE HUSBAND WHO MAY NOT BE GODLY, SHE MAY END IT DISPLEASING GOD. WHY?
The husband who is wielding authority over the woman may regulate the woman’s life outside the presence of God. He can regulate unbelief into the life of that woman.
THIS IS BECAUSE IF A MAN RESENTS AND REJECTS THE WORD OF GOD, HE MUST MAKE SURE THE WIFE REJECTS THE WORD OF GOD.
For the husband will be ratifying whatever the woman will believe and whatever the children will believe. Then, if he is an unbeliever, the family will be an unbelieving family.
Remember, we have a message entitled, LET NOBODY REGULATE YOU OUT OF GOD’S PRESENCE. Volumes one and two.
The truth is that most of us find it easy to trust and obey God in some areas of our lives, not all. But God is not pleased and does not want us to trust and obey Him only when it is convenient for us. We need to trust and obey our Heavenly Father in our midst even in difficult situations because it is only in doing so that we please Him.
When we sin, we should turn to Him and ask for forgiveness and then continue to walk in a way that is pleasing to Him. Rather than going back to sinning again because we cannot continue to sin for His grace to abound, because His patience and endurance cannot last forever.
Romans 9:22 AMP What if God, although fully intending to show [the awfulness of] His wrath and to make known His power and authority, has tolerated with much patience the vessels (objects) of [His] anger which are ripe for destruction?
Turn with me to the Message, CONDEMNED AND AWAITING EXECUTION Vol.3; Page 82 verse 14-17. Those God has been patient with all these years; all these time. God runs out of patience.
Remember the Topic: CONDEMNED AND AWAITING EXECUTION. Do they know how long God has been enduring them? Do they know how long God has been enduring their evil speaking? Do they know how long God has been enduring their murmuring and their complaining?
Do they know how long God has been enduring their rioting and their rebellion? Do they know how long God has been enduring their ‘I don’t care’ attitudes and their hypocrisies? Do they know how long God has been enduring them until God is no longer patient with them? God has run out of patience.
Now, how do we obey God who is in our midst? Clean the Slate which means we should clean our hearts, mind and body because we are God’s chalkboard and notebook which He will use to write that which pleases Him. And our daily prayer is that, God help us to possess our vessels in honour and not in dishonour.
Consider the truth of the Gospel. Choose obedience that pleases Him. It is not just God’s love that motivates us to obey Him, it’s also our love for Him—a responsive love.
Cultivate a Heart of surrender. Concentrate on doing right. Connect obedience to God’s Glory. And lastly continue to obey—No matter what!
Turn with me again to the Message, CONDEMNED AND AWAITING EXECUTION Vol 2; Page 124 verse 37-41 God is keeping us from being scandalized and then rebel. This is because the moment you are scandalized, you are confused. The centre can no longer hold in you.
The next thing will be rebellion. You will rebel against every instruction. You will rebel against the Message. Then finally, you will be avoiding God.
When you are avoiding God, you are avoiding the Light and you are avoiding the truth. You are accepting death. You are accepting deceit. You are accepting falsehood, for you cannot avoid God and avoid the Devil. It can never happen.
THE MOMENT YOU AVOID GOD, YOU HAVE EMBRACED THE DEVIL. THE DEVIL BECOMES YOUR COUNSELLOR. NOBODY CAN WALK ALONE. THE MOMENT YOU ARE NOT WALKING WITH GOD, YOU ARE WALKING WITH THE DEVIL.
YOU CANNOT WALK WITH YOURSELF FOR THAT VACUUM THAT IS CREATED IN YOUR LIFE, THE DEVIL TAKES OVER. ONE WAY!
Now, what does OBEDIENCE mean? In simple terms it means hearing the word of God and acting on it. It implies aligning our will to God’s will; doing what God has asked us to do. It is when we completely surrender to His authority and base our decisions and our actions on His Word.
Our obedience to God’s commands and His daily counsel is the true sign of our love for God, and the only way you can know if you are obeying God is by knowing His Word and putting it in practice as your daily routine.
DEUTERONOMY 27:10 MSG Listen to the Voice of GOD, your God. Keep his commandments and regulations that I’m commanding you today.
Amplified version So you shall obey the voice of the Lord your God and do His commandments and statutes which I command you today.
Hearing the word without action is self-deception, while hearing that results in doing the word is a blessing. Being doers of the word, and not hearers only is the only proper response to the word of God (not only the gospel but the entirety of His word even the one yet spoken to us which might sound new, contrary or strange to us at that moment)
JAMES 1:22-25 MSG Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear!
Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like.
But whoever catches a glimpse of the revealed counsel of God—the free life!—even out of the corner of his eye, and sticks with it, is no distracted scatter brain but a man or woman of action. That person will find delight and affirmation in the action.
That is why there is every need for constant studying and meditation on these messages we have received from the Almighty God in our midst, from His throne of grace. The word of God should be what is saturating our hearts, minds, thoughts and brain in time like this.
Let us not abuse this privilege by neglecting and abandoning our spiritual duty so as to grow ourselves in spirit and in truth, thereby forgetting the hour we are in and who we are.
Our Bishop Joe Ukpong said and I quote, “The Word of God must have an impact in the life of a child of God, why, because the child of God is checking himself on a daily basis.
I will not rest till I have seen the character of The Son of Man, till I have seen that life of The Son of Man in me, fully manifested. Then I can stand anywhere and say, it is no longer I that liveth, but The Son of Man that liveth in me. Do not relax until you come to that point.” From the Message, DO NOT ACT THOUGHTLESSLY preached on 20^TH NOVEMBER 2020 by BISHOP JOE UKPONG Pg. 115 vs. 27-28

Note it, find out the will of God concerning anything you want to do. If you have the desire to do anything, if you are being inspired to do something, if the urge is in you to do something or to say something, please, settle down and find out the will of God about it. For if you do not find the will of God about it, you may end it in death. You may think God will be pleased in the end, not knowing that God would not be pleased. It may cause your death spiritually and physically. It has happened before.

131:2-3

HOW CAN I LIVE TO PLEASE GOD 2?

Turn with me to the Message, DEATH: THE LAST ENEMY TO CONQUER Vol.2; Page 96 verse 54. When you see some people that are on the route to the Promised Land, their lifestyle will tell you that they really mean It.

Somebody told Me that Church does not save. No, Church saves. If Church does not save, why do you invite people to your Church? The true Church of God saves.
“How can I live to please God?” 3. Worship GodApostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN in spirit and in truth: One of the main reasons that God created man was so that we will worship Him. It is not that God cannot do without us worshiping Him. Doing so is for our own good.
Worship not only pleases God but is an excellent weapon for defeating the enemy. And it is another strong weapon to escape from the snake bite as we worship Him at home.
When we worship, God fights on our behalf and causes us to walk in victory. Worship also opens up doors for supernatural encounter and spiritual growth in our lives.
Turn with me again to the Message, DEATH; THE LAST ENEMY TO CONQUER Vol.2 Page 27 verse 27-29. So, let us learn to amend our ways while we live.
It is not how long we have lived here on earth that counts, but how we have lived that life. Did we live it to glorify God or to glorify the devil?
Remember, the end of every man’s life marks the beginning of that man’s Eternity. The end of My life here on earth marks the beginning of My endless life either in Heaven or in hell.
It is real. It is not a mere expression of opinion or idea. It is not a philosophy. It is expression of facts. This is because I know who I am. I know where I transcended from.
The Bible says without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). We need to believe that God is real and that He rewards everyone who passionately seeks Him. For which cause, He has not cease from introducing Himself to us in almost all the messages we are receiving from Him.
If you want to please your Heavenly Father who is in our midst, let us start by acknowledging that He is real. And there is no one coming aside Him.
Believe that God is in our midst, He loves us so much that He gave up His only Son to die on the Cross for us. Believe that God will fulfil His promises in your life, and when the time is right, we will be united with Him in Paradise to part no more. Amen!
Turn with me to the Message, DEATH: THE LAST ENEMY TO CONQUER Vol.1; Page 44 verse 13-15. EXCEPT YOU DIE IN CHRIST, YOU HAVE NO HOPE OF THE FIRST RESURRECTION WHERE THE SECOND DEATH WILL NOT HAVE POWER OVER YOU.
So, our belief in the Almighty God revolves on one focal point; That life does not end here. If all that life entails is to eat and drink, die and pass away like that, of all men, the Bible said, we shall be the most miserable.
Our faith is very strong in Christ that there is life after death, for the Bible said in Hebrews 9:27, “It is appointed unto all men to die. After that cometh judgment.”
The world tells us that spending time alone, listening to music, watching movies, eating and having merriment or visiting your favourite places will give you peace. But as true believers, we know there is more to it than just doing these things.
Well, you may get temporary peace by doing those things but following God’s way gives you peace that the world does not provide. Pleasing and making God glad is the most essential ingredient to live a peaceful life within and without.
God’s peace is nothing to compare to the one the world offers us. In John 14:27 Amplified version Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]
MSG I’m leaving you well and whole. That’s my parting gift to you, Peace. I don’t leave you the way you’re used to being left—feeling abandoned, bereft. So don’t be upset. Don’t be distraught.
When we are determined to please God, He gives us peace in our hearts, even in the most challenging situations. We do not have to go about life the same way unbelievers do.
Yes, we shall have fear in our hearts, especially in hard times or when we step out of our comfort zones. But the peace of God will rule our hearts. And not just that but God will also make our enemies be at peace with us if our ways, life and daily conducts please Him
Proverbs 16:7 MSG When GOD approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand.
Amplified version When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
The only do or die affair left for us as true Elects and believers is to worship God Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN the Son of Man in spirit and in truth, Who is dwelling in our midst.
For instance, if the Government of Nigeria passes a decree that everyone should serve only one god who is not the true revealed God we know, would you do it? Would you stick to your faith and lose your life? Or would you rather save your life and abandon your faith? And at last lose your soul in hell fire?
Our patriarch Daniel was not willing to abandon his faith in God (This true Faith) because we are with the same Ancient of days. He was willing to lose his life for the sake of his belief in Yahweh. Even when Daniel knew that he would be thrown in the lion’s den, he did not denounce his faith but stood firm.
The result of his faith was protection from God. This was same with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who stood firm and unshakable on their belief and did not compromise their worship to the true God or pay allegiance to any gods. As recorded in Daniel 3:12-30.
DANIEL 3:12-30 MSG Well, there are some Jews here—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—whom you have placed in high positions in the province of Babylon. These men are ignoring you, O king. They don’t respect your gods and they won’t worship the gold statue you set up.”
Furious, King Nebuchadnezzar ordered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be brought in. When the men were brought in, Nebuchadnezzar asked, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t respect my gods and refuse to worship the gold statue that I have set up?
I’m giving you a second chance—but from now on, when the big band strikes up, you must go to your knees and worship the statue I have made. If you don’t worship it, you will be pitched into a roaring furnace, no questions asked. Who is the god who can rescue you from my power?”
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered King Nebuchadnezzar, “Your threat means nothing to us. If you throw us in the fire, the God we serve can rescue us from your roaring furnace and anything else you might cook up, O king. But even if he doesn’t, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference, O king. We still wouldn’t serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up.”
Nebuchadnezzar, his face purple with anger, cut off Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace fired up seven times hotter than usual. He ordered some strong men from the army to tie them up, hands and feet, and throw them into the roaring furnace.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, bound hand and foot, fully dressed from head to toe, were pitched into the roaring fire. Because the king was in such a hurry and the furnace was so hot, flames from the furnace killed the men who carried Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to it, while the fire raged around Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Suddenly King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in alarm and said, “Didn’t we throw three men, bound hand and foot, into the fire?” “That’s right, O king,” they said. “But look!” he said. “I see four men, walking around freely in the fire, completely unharmed! And the fourth man looks like a son of the gods!”
Nebuchadnezzar went to the door of the roaring furnace and called in, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the High God, come out here!” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked out of the fire.
All the important people, the government leaders and king’s counselors, gathered around to examine them and discovered that the fire hadn’t so much as touched the three men—not a hair singed, not a scorch mark on their clothes, not even the smell of fire on them!
Nebuchadnezzar said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!
He sent his angel and rescued his servants who trusted in him! They ignored the king’s orders and laid their bodies on the line rather than serve or worship any god but their own.
“Therefore I issue this decree: Anyone anywhere, of any race, color, or creed, who says anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be ripped to pieces, limb from limb, and their houses torn down.
There has never been a god who can pull off a rescue like this.” Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
When we stand firm and worship the only One and true God unshakeable in this faith as true believers, and if we are not ashamed to openly declare our faith, God offers us protection.
Do not give in to the lies of the enemy. Instead, let us seek protection and life eternal from God by pleasing Him in all our ways. Join no other gods with Allah the Son of Man.
Surah 39:17-18 Those who avoid At-Taghut (false deities) by not worshipping them and turn to Allah in repentance, for them are glad tidings; so announce the good news to My slaves.
Those who listen to the Word [good advice La ilaha ill Allah- (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and Islamic Monotheism] and follow the best thereof (i.e. worship Allah Alone, repent to Him and avoid Taghut) those are (the ones) whom Allah has guided and those are men of understanding. (Sheikh Sudais Translation)
Of all the benefits of pleasing God, I believe eternal life is the most important one. I do not mean that other benefits are not important, but having eternal life is better than the benefits we get to enjoy in this current world.
The book of John 3:15 says that everyone who believes in Christ will have eternal life. In MSG it says and everyone who looks up to him, trusting and expectant, will gain a real life, eternal life.
And eternal life is in a man Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN in our midst.
We have a Message titled, “IF YOU WANT ETERNAL LIFE FROM GOD, GO TO THE MAN HE GAVE THE AUTHORITY, THE SEAL, THE ENDORSEMENT AND THE APPROVAL TO GIVE IT”. A SUNDAY MESSAGE DELIVERED BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE SON OF MAN, THE JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD PREACHED ON 13^TH AUGUST, 2023 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO, BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE, ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA.
Brethren let’s NOTE that: The Saints fellowshipping With God presently at His feet WITNESSED THE VISITATION OF AN AUGUST VISITOR during this ministration. How we ought to tremble with worshipful and reverential fear in honour to His Majesty.
When we walk by faith and please our Heavenly Father, He deposits the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of our faith and eternal life. You can have the best life in this world, but that does not guarantee that you will have eternal life.
We are spirit beings in a physical body, which means that while we die physically, we don’t die spiritually. And the life Almighty is lamenting and crying that many are bound to miss it is not this physical and present life we are living, but the one in the hereafter (our souls with Him eternally in Paradise)
Remember, the present suffering is not for nothing, because God the giver of eternal life in our midst is going to reward us at the end of time. So be patient, let us trust the process and keep holding on to the faith until the end.
Are you in a spiritual battle? Have you been trying to get victory in a specific area but with no success? Could it be that victory is not manifesting quickly because you are not pleasing God in certain areas of your life!
Well, this is not meant to condemn you but to open your eyes to what may be happening in the spirit realm. Because even Saint Paul suffered the same fate before he later overcame through Christ who strengthened him at lasts. And we also have Him in person for our teacher Who has promised to strengthen and help us to overcome also. Amen!

DO NOT CONFORM TO THIS WORLD, DO NOT PATTERN YOUR LIVES, YOUR CONDUCTS, UNDER THE LIFESTYLE OF THIS PRESENT WORLD FOR THAT WILL BE UNGODLY.” Remember you were called out of this sinful world into a Holy Kingdom. You are no longer living in the Kingdom of Darkness. Do not conform yourselves to the dictate of this present world. If they are walking to the left, walk to your right. When they go to the right, go to the left. If you become a friend of this world, you make yourself God’s enemy.

148:53-54

DO NOT GIVE THE ENEMY A FOOTHOLD

As much as we live in this physical world, we need to understand that whatever happens to us starts in the spirit realm before it occurs physically.

We need to be careful about how we live our lives because, if we do not please God, then the enemy will steal everything God gives us. And sadly, we are our own enemies. We fill our minds with negative thoughts which come from different sources.
If there is a particular area in your life where you are struggling with sin, turn to God and ask Him for help. The Bible tells us and the Almighty God in our midst also confirmed it that we should not give the enemy a foothold.
The enemy uses our weaknesses and sin as a foothold. That is why we need to please God so that He can provide us with eternal victory.
It is becoming hard for people to have a long life in the Lord so that at the end of it, they would rest in peace after departing from this present world. And sadly many people are continuing to die without God, which means spending their lives in total regrets at last.
Do you believe that God can use you in great and mighty ways for His Kingdom? No matter how you came into this world, you know that God planned for you and I to be here for such a time as this. It does not matter what you have been told by others. Even if your parents have called you an accident, know that you are not one.
Like we have many parents in our midst that are busy cursing and insulting their children; calling them all manner of unpleasant names, and the children that are receiving this insults are those that have taken bold steps and stand with God to correct and stamp out the evils being spearheaded by their unholy and ungodly parents in their families.
Yet their eyes are blindfolded with the glamour of iniquities so that they cannot differentiate between godly correction and parental respect from their children. And God warned and told us youths and children in this Faith only to obey our parents in the Lord.
The Lord said and I quote, “OUR INABILITY TO SEE THINGS WITH THE EYES OF TRUTH, THE EYES OF GOD AND REASON WITH THE MIND OF GOD HAVE BECOME OUR GREATEST UNDOING.
God knowing that we are One Family, gave us instruction that we must be collectively joined together in one mind. Is it Scripture?
We must be joined together in one mind, in one spirit, having the same judgement, speaking the same thing and minding the same thing, so that if there be one that walks contrary in our midst, even the Spirit of Christ will reveal.” From the Message, A CALL TO GLORY Vol.1; Page 70 Vs 47-48 Preached On Sunday, 6^TH November 2022. At THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe. By Apostle Peter Odoemena The Son of Man.
And Saint Paul the Apostle of the Lord admonished and said it clearly to us children how to know and differentiate between those that love us in the Lord and are also on the Lord side and those that hate us (hate the truth in us). Be it our parents, siblings and brethren in the book of 1st JOHN 3:7-10 MSG
So, my dear children, don’t let anyone divert you from the truth. It’s the person who acts right who is right, just as we see it lived out in our righteous Messiah.
Those who make a practice of sin are straight from the Devil, the pioneer in the practice of sin. The Son of God entered the scene to abolish the Devil’s ways.
People conceived and brought into life by God don’t make a practice of sin. How could they? God’s seed is deep within them, making them who they are. It’s not in the nature of the God-begotten to practice and parade sin.
Here’s how you tell the difference between God’s children and the Devil’s children: The one who won’t practice righteous ways isn’t from God, nor is the one who won’t love brother or sister. A simple test!
He also continued in 1st John 5:2-4 MSG The reality test on whether or not we love God’s children is this: Do we love God? Do we keep his commands? The proof that we love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome.
Every God-begotten person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith.
And Saint John ended up with a warning to us children in the same 1st JOHN 5:21MSG Dear children, be on guard against all clever facsimiles.
AMP Little children, keep yourselves from idols (false gods)–[from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life]. Amen (so let it be).
God knew you and me before we were formed in our mother’s womb. He wanted you here on earth so that through you and through me, He can do great exploits. But how many youths and children are ready and fully surrendered to God, by yielding to His precepts and teachings to us, so that God’s purpose for creating us would be achieved among us?
When we choose to walk in His ways and please Him, God will cause us to bear fruit in every good work.
Colossians 1:10-12 MSG We pray that you’ll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work.
We pray that you’ll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul—not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives.
It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us.
Now we may not be prominent as some people in this world. But you will be very contented wherever God places you and me. Hear what Almighty God said to us His people in the quote below:
Please, God wants His people to live in peace; to live a quiet life. Let us be contented with the little we have. I mean, Godliness with contentment is great gain. From the Message, DEATH: THE LAST ENEMY TO CONQUER Vol.2; Page 128 Vs 27.
God loves all His children, both the righteous and the wicked. But the wicked will be destroyed at the end if they refuse to repent. He is the one who created all of us, and He did it out of love, not hate.
But the truth is that God shows favour on those who believe in Him and choose to walk in His ways. When we choose to disobey God and disregard His ways, we prevent Him from showing us His favour.
It is only by pleasing Him that we open up doors so that God can give us favour in all that we do, because on our own struggling, strength and power we can achieve basically nothing!
When the Lord’s favour is upon you and me, we will be able to qualify for things that you do not necessarily qualify according to the world standard. God will make us soar with wings like an eagle in places where your human qualifications will never take you.
We need the favour of God to be upon us just the way it was upon our Lord Jesus Christ who is alive forevermore. For us to accomplish the purposes of God in our daily lives and conduct, we need God’s favour.
But, note that He does not grant you these desires just for the sake of it. God is not going to give us something as His true sons and daughters that we are going to misuse. We need to align our ways with His, so that He can lead us in the way that we should go. And show us how to use the desires we have in a way that brings glory to His Name.
When we walk diligently in His ways, we end up pleasing God, and He, in turn, grants us the desires of our hearts to the glory of His most Holy Name. Amen!
Let us be very careful and avoid bringing disasters upon ourselves by God granting us our hearts desires, instead of His will to be done in our lives. Let’s seek His will on everything so that we can do all to the glorification of His Name.
Turn with me to the Message, CONDEMNED AND AWAITING EXECUTION Vol.1; Page 45 verse 54-55. DISASTER STARTS BY GOD GRANTING ANYBODY THE DESIRE OF THE PERSON’S HEART, INSTEAD OF THE WILL OF GOD.
A TRUE SEED OF GOD ENQUIRES ABOUT THE WILL OF GOD, FOR HIM OR FOR HER. If it is not the will of God for you, It is your own personal desire. And whatever that comes out of it, God cannot take the Glory. Neither will He take the blame, because it is 100% your own personal desire.
Turn with me to the Message DEATH: THE LAST ENEMY TO CONQUER Vol.2; Page 122 verse 16-17. If you tell Me what your mission on earth is, I will rather confirm or find fault with what you think your mission is.
We have no other mission here on earth than to serve the interest of God. But human beings came here and began to serve diverse interests. Sure!!!
Our inabilities in limiting ourselves to our missions on earth have mounted undue pressure on every human being. Sure!!!
There are those times when we try to do things, but they do not go as expected. At times it is like we are walking in the wilderness like the children of Israel. We keep rotating around the same mountain without knowing when we shall reach our promised land.
But when we choose to praise God in such times, He establishes our steps and enables us to endure through it all, no matter where we are in our journey.
Another thing to note is that, it may be difficult to follow the proper steps on our way up. There are so many different kinds of temptations that the devil brings on our way to cause us to stray from the things of God. Like King Solomon, we may start right with God but end up straying from our faith.
But God forbid! We need God to establish our steps until the day of the LORD as we keep on waiting for our immortal body. And for Him to do that, we need to walk in the ways that are pleasing to Him. Aim at making Him glad with us by our daily conducts. Amen.
Turn with me to 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1-4 MSG “Companions as we are in this work with you, we beg you, please don’t squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us.
God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help. Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped. Don’t put it off;
Don’t frustrate God’s work by showing up late, throwing a question mark over everything we’re doing. Our work as God’s servants gets validated—or not—in the details.
People are watching us as we stay at our post, alertly, unswervingly in hard times, tough times, and bad times.

God will judge you from the angle He has dealt with you. If He has not given you anything, He will have no justification to judge you. Now that He has given you something, He can now judge you. If He has never sent anybody, there will not be unbelief. But now that He has sent Somebody, He can judge you of unbelief.

-Deacon David Mbah

THE LAST INTRODUCTION OF WHO GOD IS Compiled on June 2022 Pg 255:44

THE RIGHTEOUS, PERFECT AND FINAL JUDGE

The giver of eternal life is with us. The Judge of all creatures from the beginning till the end is here with us who is Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN.

In the Message, THE IMPACT OF THE WORD OF GOD IN OUR HEARTS, PREACHED ON 1st January, 2020. Pg. 32 vs. 5-7. The Lord said and I quote, “You are lucky. Count yourself as lucky people because the examiner is here.
Your examiner is also your lecturer. He is the one that will also mark the scripts. Once He adjudges you free, you are free. But if He says you are not free, you are not free.
Remember, I am the final Bus stop for all human beings. Both the living and the dead are all accountable to Me. I am going to judge and I am judging even right now, both the LIVING and the DEAD.”
He is the one that our father Abraham was told to be the third and last judge to be here among humans. As recorded in the Testament of Abraham.
Turn with me to this ancient manuscript titled, Testament of Abraham version 1 Page 7 Vs 13 And Abraham said, My Lord chief-captain, who is this most wondrous judge? And who are the angels that write down? And who is the angel like the sun, holding the balance? And who is the fiery angel holding the fire?
The chief-captain said, do you see, most holy Abraham, the terrible man sitting upon the throne? This is the son of the first created Adam, who is called Abel, whom the wicked Cain killed, and he sits thus to judge all creation, and examines righteous men and sinners.
For God has said, I shall not judge you, but every man born of man shall be judged. Therefore he has given to him judgment, to judge the world until his great and glorious coming, and then, O righteous Abraham, is the perfect judgment and recompense, eternal and unchangeable, which no one can alter.
For every man has come from the first-created, and therefore they are first judged here by his son, and at the second coming they shall be judged by the twelve tribes of Israel, every breath and every creature.
Now let us pay attention and hear what the Chief captain Archangel Michael told our father Abraham about The Almighty God, the third and the last judge in our midst Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN the Son of Man, when our father Abraham was taken to Heaven:
But the third time they shall be judged by the Lord God of all, and then, indeed, the end of that judgment is near, and the sentence terrible, and there is none to deliver.
And now by three tribunals the judgment of the world and the recompense is made, and for this reason a matter is not finally confirmed by one or two witnesses, but by three witnesses shall everything be established.
The two angels on the right hand and on the left, these are they that write down the sins and the righteousness, the one on the right hand writes down the righteousness, and the one on the left the sins.
The angel like the sun, holding the balance in his hand, is the archangel, Dokiel the just weigher, and he weighs the righteousnesses and sins with the righteousness of God.
The fiery and pitiless angel, holding the fire in his hand, is the archangel Puruel, who has power over fire, and tries the works of men through fire, and if the fire consumes the work of any man, the angel of judgment immediately seizes him, and carries him away to the place of sinners, a most bitter place of punishment.
But if the fire approves the work of anyone, and does not seize upon it, that man is justified, and the angel of righteousness takes him and carries him up to be saved in the lot of the just. And thus, most righteous Abraham, all things in all men are tried by fire and the balance.
And the balance is nothing but the messages we are receiving and being put in remembrance of, on daily basis by the Lord God Himself. Knowing fully well that He, God, in our midst is gracious and merciful enough to save us but we are saying no to Him by our daily displeasing conducts.
Let us be very careful and do the needful because the Chief Judge is with us.
The Lord said and I quote, “God was right when He spoke revealing grace that He did not judge the people that died in time past, but He kept them in the grave waiting for the day THE SON OF MAN will come who will be the judge of the living and of the dead, in whom they shall remain justified.
I am the Justifier. I am The Judge of the whole earth. It is an irrevocable fact. Believe it if you can. Leave it if you cannot believe it.” From the Message, HOW ARMED ARE YOU FOR THE TROUBLOUS TIMES?/RECOGNIZE THE WEAKNESSES OF YOUR WIFE; PREACHED By The Son of Man ON SUNDAY 17^TH JULY 2016; PG. 42 vs. 16 – 17
John 12:48-50 Anyone who rejects Me and persistently sets Me at naught, refusing to accept My teachings, has his judge [however]; for the [very] message that I have spoken will itself judge and convict him at the last day.
This is because I have never spoken on My own authority or of My own accord or as self-appointed, but the Father Who sent Me has Himself given Me orders [concerning] what to say and what to tell. And I know that His commandment is (means) eternal life.
So whatever I speak, I am saying [exactly] what My Father has told Me to say and in accordance with His instructions. AMP
MSG I came to save the world. But you need to know that whoever puts me off, refusing to take in what I’m saying, is willfully choosing rejection. The Word, the Word-made-flesh that I have spoken and that I am, that Word and no other is the last word.
I’m not making any of this up on my own. The Father who sent me gave me orders, told me what to say and how to say it. And I know exactly what his command produces: real and eternal life. That’s all I have to say. What the Father told me, I tell you.”
JOHN 5:24-29 “It’s urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider.
This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living. “It’s urgent that you get this right: The time has arrived—I mean right now!—when dead men and women will hear the voice of the Son of God and, hearing, will come alive.
Just as the Father has life in himself, he has conferred on the Son life in himself. And he has given him the authority, simply because he is the Son of Man, to decide and carry out matters of Judgment.
“Don’t act so surprised at all this. The time is coming when everyone dead and buried will hear his voice. Those who have lived the right way will walk out into a resurrection Life; those who have lived the wrong way, into a resurrection Judgment. MSG
Even when our righteous father Abraham was taken to Heaven, he saw how our father Adam (the first created Adam) was lamenting and crying seeing that many were cast into hell. Let us get it in this ancient manuscript.
The Testament of Abraham version 1; page 5 Vs 11. So Michael turned the chariot and brought Abraham to the east, to the first gate of heaven; and Abraham saw two ways, the one narrow and contracted, the other broad and spacious, and there he saw two gates, the one broad on the broad way, and the other narrow on the narrow way.
And outside the two gates there he saw a man sitting upon a gilded throne, and the appearance of that man was terrible, as of the Lord. And they saw many souls driven by angels and led in through the broad gate, and other souls, few in number, that were taken by the angels through the narrow gate.
Note this place, only few people were taken by the angels through the narrow gate. And when the wonderful one who sat upon the golden throne saw few entering through the narrow gate, and many entering through the broad one, straightway that wonderful one tore the hairs of his head and the sides of his beard, and threw himself on the ground from his throne, weeping and lamenting. Who was our Father Adam!
But when he saw many souls entering through the narrow gate, then he arose from the ground and sat upon his throne in great joy, rejoicing and exulting.
And Abraham asked the chief-captain, My Lord chief-captain, who is this most marvelous man, adorned with such glory, and sometimes he weeps and laments, and sometimes he rejoices and exults?
The incorporeal one said: This is the first-created Adam who is in such glory, and he looks upon the world because all are born from him, and when he sees many souls going through the narrow gate, then he arises and sits upon his throne rejoicing and exulting in joy, because this narrow gate is that of the just, that leads to life, and they that enter through it go into Paradise.
For this, then, the first-created Adam rejoices, because he sees the souls being saved. But when he sees many souls entering through the broad gate, then he pulls out the hairs of his head, and casts himself on the ground weeping and lamenting bitterly, for the broad gate is that of sinners, which leads to destruction and eternal punishment.
And for this the first-formed Adam falls from his throne weeping and lamenting for the destruction of sinners, for they are many that are lost, and they are few that are saved, for in seven thousand there is scarcely found one soul saved, being righteous and undefiled.
May we be found among the saved few at the end and may God the Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN save us from this hour. Amen!
Surah 39:65-75. And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad Salla Alaihi Wasallam), as it was to those (Allah’s Messengers) before you: “If you join others in worship with Allah, (then) surely, (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers.”
Nay! But worship Allah (Alone and none else), and be among the grateful.
They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified and Exalted is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!
And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah wills. Then it will blown a second time, and behold they will be standing, looking on (waiting).
And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allah, when He will come to judge among men), and the Book will be placed (open), and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward, and it will be judged between them with truth, and they will not be wronged.
And each person will be paid in full of what he did; and He is Best Aware of what they do. And those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups till when they reach it the gates thereof will be opened (suddenly like a prison at the arrival of the prisoners).
And its keepers will say: “Did not the Messengers come to you from yourselves, reciting to you the Verses of your Lord, and warning you of the Meeting of this Day of yours?” They will say: “Yes”, but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers!” It will be said (to them): “Enter you the gates of Hell, to abide therein.
And (indeed) what an evil abode of the arrogant!” And those who kept their duty to their Lord (Al-Muttaqun) will be led to Paradise in groups till when they reach it, and its gates will be opened (before their arrival for their reception) and its keepers will say: Salamun ‘Alaikum (peace be upon you)! You have done well, so enter here to abide therein.”
Saints of God, we know that this Holy writings are not stories, because we have seen and heard how it fulfilled during the departure of the Queen of Paradise, Late Mummy Nzubechukwu Joy Odoemena of blessed memory.
Before her arrival to that glorious gate, she heard a glorious voice roaring everywhere because there was a voice that roared, “BEHOLD THE WOMAN!” Everywhere, it was one voice, “ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA!” Everywhere! What a wonderful reception we are all praying should be accorded to us at the end. Amen.
Let us continue, And they will say: “All the praises and thanks be to Allah Who has fulfilled His Promise to us and has made us inherit (this) land. We can dwell in Paradise where we will; how excellent a reward for the (pious, good) workers!”
And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne (of Allah) from all round, glorifying the praises of their Lord (Allah). And they (all the creatures) will be judged with truth, And it will be said, “All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).” Sheikh Sudais Translation
Whether men are pleased or displeased, or how they judge of you, or what they call you, it should seem a small matter to you. You are not living for them. You can bear their displeasure, censures, and reproaches, if God be, but pleased. These will be your evidences.
Let us not aim at paying God back with evil after He has blessed and answered our prayers. Because man is fond of deserting God after gaining his selfish desires and purposes which is not eternal life and at the end of the day coming back to God with sorrows and anguish.
Surah 39:8-9. And when some hurt touches man, he cries to his Lord (Allah Alone), turning to Him in repentance, but when He bestows a favour upon him from Himself, he forgets that for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah, in order to mislead others from His Path. Say: “Take pleasure in your disbelief for a while, surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire!”
Is one who is obedient to Allah, prostrating himself or standing (in prayer) during the hours of the night, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord (like one who disbelieves)? Say: “Are those who know equal to those who know not?” It is only men of understanding who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allah’s Signs and Verses). Sheikh Sudais Translation

“DECIDE TO BE A GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT OF GOD.” Decide to be a good and faithful servant of God, man and woman alike.

DO YOUR BEST TO GLORIFY GOD BY THE LIFE YOU LIVE

If we want to learn how to please God, we must seek God’s help to always do His will as well. If you are a true seed of God in this Most Holy Faith at a time like this, there is no way you would dedicate your time truthfully to studying, praying and obeying without having permanent changes both spiritually and physically in your life.

For God is always there to lend a helping hand if He sees the willingness and readiness in me and in you! Live in every way that Glorifies God.
As a follower of Christ, you must do your best to live a life that glorifies God. We please Him by being fruitful in character, ministry, and everyday living. He is also pleased if we keep learning about Him and doing His will.
The Lord said and I quote, “How I wish the living will learn a lesson from the dead, yield the rest of your life to the service of God and humanity, do the best to make sure that the Word of God does not condemn you.
Let your attitude be that of Christ, who although He was a King, condescended so low to becoming a slave, that He may be our example in humility, in transparency, in honesty of purpose and in spirituality.
Is He not seeing what you are seeing? Is He not in the same world with you? Is there any experience you are having which He is not a partaker? Tell Me! So, you have yourself to blame. I have washed off My hands.
What will you say at the end? Will you say you were not warned? Even one that was on her way to meet with the LORD never to part again equally turned around and warned you.” From the Message, DEATH: THE LAST ENEMY TO CONQUER Vol.2; page 66 verses 63-65.
Turn with me to the Message, A CALL TO GLORY Vol.1; Page 130 Vs 12-15 Preached on Sunday, 6^TH November 2022. At THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe. By Apostle Peter Odoemena The Son of Man What is that “Everything” in heaven and earth? Are you not inclusive? If God says, “You belong to Me”, why not begin to rejoice? For He said, “I created you. I formed you. I made you.” Is there any statement that is more heart-warming than this?
I DO NOT BELIEVE I WILL HAVE A REGRETTABLE CREATURE. DID YOU GET WHAT I AM SAYING? EVERY TRUE CHILD OF GOD AIMS AT MAKING GOD GLAD AT ALL TIMES.
There is a song we usually sing. When you make God glad, you are making yourself glad.
SONG: I am so glad my Saviour loves me, Saviour loves me, Saviour loves me. I am so glad my Saviour loves me, Saviour loves me and you.
How can we make God to be glad and happy? Loving God is expressed in the same way, by spending time in His presence — listening to His voice, doing His will, obeying Him, thanking and praising him, reading (studying) and meditating on His Word. We also make God happy and glad by how we respond to His answers to our prayers, because people who value the gift over the Giver are selfish.
The same Message, A CALL TO GLORY Vol.1 Page 132 Vs 17&19, 21-22 THE MORE YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, THE MORE YOU ARE BEING SET FREE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS TRUTH, YOU WILL REMAIN IN BONDAGE TO FALSEHOOD. THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE SAID YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
Then why should somebody turn rebellious? Why should somebody turn rebellious to He that created all things, fashioned them and designed them to suit His own use and purpose?
REMEMBER, AT ANY POINT IN TIME, IF YOU ARE NOT LIVING FOR CHRIST, YOU ARE LIVING FOR YOURSELF WHICH IS THE DEVIL. IF I SAY I WANT TO LIVE FOR MYSELF, I AM LIVING FOR THE DEVIL, FOR THERE ARE TWO SPIRITS THAT GOVERN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN; THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, AND THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL. TRUE OR FALSE! THESE ARE THE TWO SPIRITS THAT GOVERN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN.
Saints and true Elects of God! I believe with all my heart that all the benefits of pleasing and making God glad always that we have considered in this epistle, are capable of igniting someone out there unto good works.
Let this be a morale booster to us all, to awake from our sleeping for the night is far spent. There is fire on the mountain, let’s run for our safety. Amen!
To please God is your happiness itself; the matter of pure, full and constant comfort, which you may have continually at hand which no man can take from you. Get this and you have the end of man; nothing can be added to it, but the perfection of the saints, which is heaven itself and complete clothing with our immortal body.
In conclusion saints of God, This matter is not negotiable. There is fire on the mountain, the Lord is making a speedy riddance upon the Earth and no flesh shall be saved except those that have received Him whom He has sent and have taken refuge in the only place of safety He has chosen for all His elect. From the Message, THIS GENERATION IN PROPHECY FIRST PUBLISHED IN THE YEAR 1999 By The Son of Man PG. 12 VS. 13
Pleasing and making God glad will help us to survive abundance of disappointments, and vexations, which tear the very hearts of men-pleasers, and fill their lives with unprofitable sorrows! It will guide and order our cares, desires, thoughts, and labours to the right and proper end, and prevent the perverting and spending of them in sin and vanity.
Also pleasing and making God glad with implicit obedience to His word will make our lives not only to be divine but this divine life will be sweet and easy. Our lives will also continue to glow in the Lord.
Turn with me to the Message, DEATH: THE LAST ENEMY TO CONQUER VOL. 2; Page 108 Vs 78-79. If you are following the Spoken Word, it is clear. If you are following the words of men, the tradition of your elders, man-made rules, the doctrine of your Church contrary to God’s word, it is very, very clear.
So, we are now at the end. There is no need somebody limping between two opinions. You are either for Christ or you are not for Christ. There is no half way about it.
Spiritual nakedness is a dangerous thing that will make somebody to be ashamed on the last day. That is why you must make sure you dress yourself Spiritually with the whole Word of God which is the covering of the Bride of Christ.
God now talks to us in the language of the Elect. So in time like this, it will take the Elect alone to understand the real meaning of every statement that will come out of His mouth. And it will take the Elect alone to be serious and be able to practice all we are have been hearing from Him. Amen.
JUDE verse 17-21 But remember, dear friends, that the apostles of our Master, Jesus Christ, told us this would happen: “In the last days there will be people who don’t take these things seriously anymore. They’ll treat them like a joke, and make a religion of their own whims and lusts.” These are the ones who split churches, thinking only of themselves. There’s nothing to them, no sign of the Spirit!
But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life! MSG. Amen!
AMP But you must remember, beloved, the predictions which were made by the apostles (the special messengers) of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
They told you beforehand, In the last days (in the end time) there will be scoffers [who seek to gratify their own unholy desires], following after their own ungodly passions. It is these who are [agitators] setting up distinctions and causing divisions–merely sensual [creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people], devoid of the [Holy] Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life.
But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit; Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)–[which will bring you] unto life eternal. Amen!!!
To God be the glory! On this note, I say, may Allah bless and help us in such a way that we will continue to live our daily lives, conducts and character in accordance with what we have heard from Him, and live in a way that will please and make our Lord the Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN) glad with us always! Amen.
Remain blessed in Him Eternally Saints of God.
