INTRODUCTION
PRAYER
| O |
ur Most Holy and Righteous Father, the KING of Kings, the LORD of Lords. THE I AM THAT I AM, Thou Great Jehovah that ruleth over the affairs of men, LORD we thank You this day for the precious and free gift of life which you have given to us once again.
2. You have given us the enabling power and strength and sound health to worship You. LORD, we say THANK YOU to Your Most Holy Name.
3. If we were in the grave or mortuary or hospital bed, we would not worship You, but You made it possible for us to be alive till this very moment to call upon Your Name and to worship You in spirit and in truth. LORD, we say THANK YOU to Your Most Holy Name.
4. In the same precious manner, you woke up all our Brethren from their various beds, all our friends and well-wishers and families, wherever they are scattered; LORD, even Your Elect worldwide, You woke them up from their various beds. LORD, we say THANK YOU to Your Most Holy Name.
5. Abba Father, we say, may all glory, may all honour, all adoration be ascribed unto Your Most Holy Name now and till eternity through Christ our LORD.
6. LORD, we have come before you this day, being the first day of the week to draw strength, to come and receive power from You. LORD, may Your power and Your anointing rest on each and every one of us this day.
7. LORD, let Your Spirit dwell richly in the Camp of Your people wherever Your Name is being mentioned this day.
8. LORD, all the families that call upon you with pure hearts and spirit, may Your presence be felt in their midst this day. Meet them at the various points of their needs.
9. Father LORD, break the yoke of even sickness. Break the yoke which the devil has planted in our lives. With the entrance of Your Word this day into our various hearts, LORD, may this yoke be broken this day.
10. LORD, continue to make a Name for Yourself in the lives of those that call upon Your Name every day. LORD, continue to make a Name for Yourself in the families of all Your people this day. LORD, bless our souls richly.
11. We have stepped into a new week, believing that You that saw us throughout last week is capable of doing so this week. LORD, may this week never be a week of sorrows.
12. May it be a week of blessings and favours to all Your children. Father, may we continue to see You and You alone in everything we lay our hands upon. May Your presence continue to surround us 24 hours of the day, thereby making it impossible for the devil to see us one bit.
13. Abba Father, receive all Glory, receive all honour, for we know that You will do more than we have asked of You through the Name of Peter the Christ our LORD. Amen.
….I am saying that the seed of the fruit is germinating, because I am an able minister of the New Testament, I am not Eli, I am not David, I am not Moses, but some may like to go after such people, it is not for Me. What I am holding has power enough, what I am holding is not weak. I am holding a spiritual Law not a carnal Law. What I am holding is profitable and not unprofitable.

ENCOURAGEMENT
| W |
e give God the whole Glory, Honour and Praise, for sustaining our lives till this hour. I have an announcement to make. And I am going to be strict with this announcement. Take note, everybody.
2. Whatever you want to eat, eat. Whatever you want to drink, drink. If it is possible, go to your bed after Fellowship and sleep. I hope everybody is hearing Me.
3. Once it is 7 o’clock; I did not say 8 or one minute after 7. 7 o’clock this evening, I want all of you to assemble in this parlour. All, no exemption. Lock up all the gates. Lock up everywhere. Switch off all the lights that will disturb you.
4. In short, if it is possible, do not remove anything from here. Live this hall as it is. 7pm, gather here. To God be the Glory.
5. Today is the first day of the week and the last Sunday in the month of November 2020.
6. Any moment from now, we shall roll into the month of December. I mean, by Tuesday this week, we shall be saying December 1.
7. And you know what December is all about. You know all the programmes we have outlined in the month of December. If God will permit all of them, we shall accomplish all.
8. Last month, November was a month of activities. You know all we passed through in the month of November, burying three corpses at a stretch.
9. One at Ihe in Enugu State. One at Orlu in Imo State within a space of eight days. We have never done such a hasty burial like we did in the case of late Teacher James Nnadi, and which turned out to be the most glorious outing we made.
10. Let me say finally for this month of November because tomorrow is unpredictable. Anything can happen. We buried our late Brother in a very glorious manner as well.
11. In spite of all these activities, we were faced with the traditional marriage between brother Victor Nnachor and our daughter Idimma Ojiakor, which all of us witnessed to be a great event. It was not a light thing.
12. Now, during the first week in December, precisely on the 4th of December, Brethren who may be around within the period, will accompany Bro John Onyia to bury the sister in-law.
13. And that is the immediate senior sister to Sister John Onyia in Enugu State. It is in Nachi. And I think Nachi is equally in Udi.
14. Then, on the 5th of December, it will be another outing again in Enugu, which is the wedding ceremony between Brother Victor Nnachor again and our Sister Idimma. We will grace the occasion with our presence if the LORD permits.
15. On the 11th of December, whether there is rain or sunshine, I know God will permit us to use the opportunity to know the family of Brother Elias who has been with us for a very long time.
16. From the time he enlisted in the Faith of Christ till now, I do not know if any Brother in the Faith has been privileged to visit his home town. It has never happened. Bro Eli, has it happened? From the time you enlisted in 1997 till now, no Brother has visited your family in Akama-Oghe.
17. And now, you lost your senior Brother by death. Whether you like it or not, your wife must enter her kitchen. Nothing stops Brethren in Enugu from paying condolence visit to you.
18. And you might be surprised to see some from Onitsha because you have been sojourning and fellowshipping with us in Onitsha for some time now.
19. So, we may like to know your home town, know your family and eat from your wife’s kitchen. This time around, we may grant you a leave of absence for some time to go and prepare for the burial, which is not going to be a light one because your senior brother is blessed with a lawyer. His first son is a barrister, married with children; with too many other associates.
20. So, it is going to be a big burial. Now, we are going to make an outing on the 11th. This time around, Brother Elias [Elijoe] will play host to the Brethren.
21. Many have been playing host to him all these years. Now, it is your turn to shine. It is your turn to reign. It is your turn to carry the photograph of your late brother and run round. We will follow you, and you now dance with your two legs. Yes!
22. So, it is a glorious thing that the man did not die a premature death. He died at the ripe age. And he left a good legacy. He has people who surrounds him. He was 70 years. He tried.
23. That notwithstanding, I am saying that you get ready to host us. After the wedding, we will come there and grease our mouths. So, you prepare in a very big way for the Brethren will come around and then, use the opportunity to know where you are living.
24. We are not coming to see your house. We are coming to see your people, identify with them and then, they know that we are the people that are worshipping God with you in the same Fellowship. I believe it is worth while.
25. Be on the alert. I have alerted you. Begin to plan. Any day you want to depart, give Me at least three days notice to enable us put the whole thing in order for you to travel home and be at home with your people, finish the burial and come back, if you want to come back.
26. I know you will like to come back because there is nothing that can sustain life in the village right now. If the township cannot sustain life, can the village sustain life?
27. So, what will sustain life here on earth [material existence] is found in the township, and not in the village. If it is in the village, many of us would not have left the villages.
28. So, to stay in the village means becoming a village champion. The only business that will thrive there is village politics.
29. Then, you stuff your stomach with fufu and palm wine, and then become a public entertainer. A news carrier in the village square, attending burials and ceremonies and drinking from one town hall to another. Am I making sense?
30. After which, you can sleep on the main road. After all, there is security in the village. But let nobody ever think of living such a useless life.
31. Whoever that is thinking of going to the village to live such a useless and unprogressive life will be a fool of all fools in this our day.
That is why you have to take heed to yourself and to the doctrines we have received. That is why God gave us the message, “Is your life; Is my life worthy of the Gospel that I preach? This is because the greatest message that makes the highest impact is your character. There are no two ways about it. Take heed that you do not contradict your message with your life.
BEWARE OF SPIRITUAL DEATH VOLUME 1; Preached on Sunday 12th April, 2020; Chapter 4 verse 8
2
OUR CHARACTER SHOULD NOT COUNTER THE TRUTH
So, I give God the praise. The highlights are coming gradually. As we continue, you will hear some other highlights of the events that will mark the end of the year.
2. But for now, let us pin our hope, our hearts and our attention on putting our lives together, making sure that we sanitize our hearts from evil. And also making sure that we are in right standing with God, maintaining a healthy relationship with God and with one another.
3. Throughout last week, you heard My Voice through the Message titled, REPUTATION VOLUME 1, from the beginning to the end [from chapter 1 to chapter 7].Emphasis was laid on chapter seven, not neglecting others.
4. We were greatly challenged as individuals and families by the Word of God which said that we should make sure that we tailor our characters and our lives in line with the Teachings we have received.
5. And that we should not try to make the mistake of permitting our emotions and impulses to have overriding influence over the Word of God.
6. We should not allow our self-ego and the pride of life, arrogance, to ever creep into our hearts, talk less of having overriding influence over the Word of God.
7. We should exalt the Word of God in our daily living, by living a life worthy of the Gospel we preach in all situations and at all times, making sure that our daily lives does not embarrass God;
8. Making sure that our daily characters and manifestations do not counter the Truth we have received so far, for if we receive the Truth and live contrary, God will place us where He placed heathens.
9. We are not better than the heathens. Heathens may even be preferred to us, for if they had received the Teachings we received, the level of instructions we received, maybe, they would have behaved better.
10. That is why God said, “Sodom and Gomorrah shall be preferred to this generation we are in, for if the city of Sodom and Gomorrah; the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah received the level of Teachings, Doctrines, instructions, mercies and blessings we have received in our day, definitely, they would have repented in ashes.”
11. In other words, we are the most privileged that have ever appeared here on earth with God taking His time to visit us in human form, taking His time all these years to groom us, staying very close to all of us, guiding, teaching, leading, instructing, correcting, encouraging, rebuking and indicting all that you may live in His presence forever.
12. Like I have told you, whatever God is doing in our lives is for our own good, for He knows what is best for us at all times.
13. Oftentimes, God will allow certain situations to crop up. He will watch us from a grand stand to enable Him and to enable us also know the height we have attained in the teachings we have received.
14. He will test us and know the level of patience we have; the level of tolerance or accommodation we have for the Word of God and for our fellow human beings. He may even allow us to be trampled upon and be provoked beyond measure to test our temperament. I mean, our temper.
15. He will allow things to come our ways to test our ability to forgive one another as God has forgiven us, which is the greatest manifestation of love. THE GREATEST MANIFESTATION OF LOVE IS FORGIVENESS.
16. You can trace it to the Message titled, SEVEN STEPS TOWARDS REALIZING THE PROMISES OF GOD HENCEFORTH. The greatest manifestation of love is forgiveness. You can also trace it in the Message titled, THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS. Then, you will see it there.
17. He will allow something to happen. Where there is no offence, there is no forgiveness. He will allow us to be tested by allowing things that will engender pride to come our way.
18. It can be money. It can be position. It can be academic attainment. It can be anything at all that can promote pride in a human being. Something that can generate even arrogance. Something that can generate even stubbornness because these three go together.
19. You cannot be proud without being arrogant. You cannot be arrogant without being stubborn; stubborn to the Word of God, stubborn to your fellow human beings and stubborn to every instruction.
20. And once these three come together, they will produce what I will call a man of very powerful, obstinate and unrepentant heart, for when these three come together, they harden the heart of the individual [the possessor] against [1] sound knowledge, against [2] sound reasoning and against [3] sound judgment.
21. These three ingredients that are compulsory and unavoidable in the development of the being spiritually, mentally, psychologically, even [Hear Me very well] physiologically.
22. That is why I maintain with every amount of certainty and seriousness that any human being that does not have control over his own personal life as per impulses, emotions, as per temper, pride and every other thing that is associated with a human being is not a developed human being.
23. Whoever that does not have control over all these factors that build up the human system, that person has a physiological defect. The person is malformed.
24. Any human being that cannot call himself to order and have a good assessment of himself, has a physiological deffect.
25. One that is always put in remembrance of his faults; you do not know your fault[s] until somebody will point it out to you; you have a physiological defect.
26. And this is where almost all great evil doers manifest, including lesbians and homosexuals.
27. Pay attention! This morning, we will look into the Message I have posted to the whole world contrary to My decision, for I had earlier decided that I will allow them to choose the message that will suit their conveniences and their conditions from their libraries, either from the net or from the books they have so far acquired and stockpiled in their homes.
28. If you want a social Message, you will get it. if you want inspirational Message, you will get it. If you want a spiritual Message, you will get it. If you want motivational Messages like INSPIRE TO ASPIRE, they are all there.
29. If you want social Messages like marriage and human relationship that will promote godly social interactions. MAINTAINING A HEALTHY REPATIONSHIP with God and with one another, they are all there, and too many others.
30. Even Messages that touch on vocations. They are all there.
31. But I changed My mind after My prayer in the early hours of the morning that I know what is needed for the hour.
32. Knowing the nature of the people we have in the Faith, if they should be allowed to make their choices of the Messages that will suit their families, it then means they will use their hands to destroy their families.
33. Silly men will pick those ones which will allow them to spank their wives and to assume unnecessary lordship over their wives and family when they do not have the power and they have never lived right for one day.
34. There would not be any other Message than the need for the wife to be obedient to the husband in all matters in life and death, whether the man is providing for the family or not, but any one that touches on the role of the men, they will avoid that one.
35. Some will even go and rake up the laws of Moses, just to make sure they wield undue influence and authority, contrary to the hour we are in where we are standing as individuals before God.
36. So, realizing the danger inherent in allowing them to take their individual decisions on such matters at this delicate hour, after My morning prayers, I changed My mind, for it is just like giving somebody a blank cheque, allowing him to do as he wishes.
37. If you ask a man to tell you who is to be slaughtered, the first person he will mention will be his enemy, while he is the greatest enemy to himself, for man’s greatest enemy is himself. If we like, let us believe it. If we do not like, let us disbelieve it.
38. IT IS THE CHOICE OF THE LIFE A HUMAN BEING HAS CHOSEN TO LIVE THAT INCURS THE WRATH OF GOD OR THE BLESSINGS OF GOD TO THAT MAN [THE PRACTITIONER]. Is it not true?
39. WHO MAKES THAT CHOICE OF LIFE? IS IT NOT THAT INDIVIDUAL? SO, WE INCUR THE WRATH OF GOD BY MAKING WRONG CHOICES OF LIFE. WE ATTRACT GOD’S BLESSINGS BY MAKING RIGHT CHOICES OF LIFE.
40. I believe nobody here has a physiological defect to the point that he or she cannot understand what the Spirit is saying to all of us. Let us strive as the First Family to live the life expected if us.
Unbelief is a big sickness. When the Word is made Flesh, that Flesh represents the Deity. In every age, The Deity must be made known in the Flesh and all that will attain the perfect stature of the Deity must place their eyes upon the First born. There must be a First born among the people. Somebody must be perfected so that He will strengthen His Brethren. Somebody must be converted so that He will strengthen His Brethren and all that want to be strengthened, that have placed their eyes upon Him, Being the first fruit of them that were converted, The Deity is in Him.

THE FIRST FRUIT
Can somebody give Me the Message, LET HIM THAT HAS EAR HEAR WHAT GOD IS SAYING, VOLUME 1. There is a nugget I saw there that says, “This Family is the first Family God visited in this generation.”
2. And I am raising this Family to a height, expecting that the first fruit will be harvested from this Family. That when we are talking about the translation of our mortal bodies, there is no other way or any other place I am expecting it will showcase itself first, if not from this Family.
3. Let somebody pick up the microphone. I thank God this is not my copy and I did not memorize the page nor the chapter. Look at how fast I was able to pick it. I know it is volume 1, towards the end. Look at it there. The underlined. Read it loud and clear.
4. LET HIM THAT HAS EARS HEAR WHAT GOD IS SAYING TO EVERY ELECT PART 1; Preached on Friday 24th April 2020 at The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe, Anambra State, Nigeria by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN; Page 85 verse 51 through 52.
5. THIS MESSAGE IS FOR THIS FAMILY… You see! Unto you God first appeared to take for Himself, a people; a Family He will use as example, where He will point others to.
6. That is why every fruit of this Family, no matter who you are, you are expected to be a role model; a pattern of good works in all ramifications. You should be children of unquestionable integrity, unquestionable character because you are the cynosure of all eyes, for you are personally and practically dwelling under the same roof with THE SON OF MAN and His wife, Whom God has raised in this generation to be the standard for judgment for all men and for all women. Will the children be excluded? Thank you!
7. THIS MESSAGE IS FOR THIS FAMILY. NOT FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE THIS FAMILY MUST PRODUCE THE FIRST FRUIT. M.U.S.T. Why not say Amen?
8. Is this family this building? Is this Family the seats you are sitting on? This Family is nothing but human beings dwelling in this Family, personally and practically sharing everything in common with THE SON OF MAN and His wife.
9. You have no other contact or any other residential address. As long as you are here, this is your reference point. Anybody looking for you will come here. Your parents will come here, if you are not My biological children.
10. Anybody asking about you will be here. You have no other contact you will give.
11. If there is anything evil that happens in this Family, that attracts the attention of law enforcement agents, and they come here and whisk somebody away, what will be noised abroad is that one of the children of THE SON OF MAN was arrested by the Police. Is it not true?
12. Whether that one is My biological child or not, the whole world knows that he is My son, for he is living with Me.
13. You see why we have to be very careful in all that we do. You have no other family for now, except this. And till eternity, if you happen to be in Paradise, you have no other family than the Family where THE SON OF MAN is superintending. True or false?
14. I AM THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY OF GOD WORLDWIDE, AND THE HUSBANDMAN. I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD. YOU ARE MY FLOCK.
15. So, you have to understand it. That is why you cannot avoid THE SON OF MAN and smell heaven or Paradise. There is no way you can detach from THE SON OF MAN through willful disobedience to His Teachings and smell Paradise. Detaching means eternal separation from God.
16. THIS MESSAGE IS FOR THIS FAMILY. NOT FOR EVERYBODY… I want all of you to underline it in your hearts. Your copies are with you. And I know that you have not read it to this extent.
17. This Message is not for everybody. It is for this Family and for every other Elect. An Elect is one that is chosen for salvation and not for destruction.
18. That is why the Bible said that God never chose us to obtain His wrath but to obtain His salvation through Christ our LORD.
19. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [1 Thessalonians 5:9 KJV]
20. THIS MESSAGE IS FOR THIS FAMILY. NOT FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE THIS FAMILY MUST PRODUCE THE FIRST FRUIT. M.U.S.T. MUST!
21. Why must it be this Family? This is the Family of the First Born. This is the Church of the First Born. Is it not true? The first born among many Brethren.
22. First fruit must be harvested from the Family, the Kingdom, the Church of the First Born among many Brethren. Brethren will come quite alright, but the first must come from the First Born
23. AS LONG AS GOD LIVETH AND I LIVE, THIS IS THE FIRST FAMILY.
24. This is what? The First Family. Why? It is the Family of the First Born. Unto you God first appeared; God took off. Whoever that is the Person bearing God’s Name in this generation took off from here. True or false?
25. You have to have this at the back of your mind. So, when you say, “I am dwelling with God in His Family”, you say it by divine revelation that God has a Home; a dwelling place.
26. And He is not dwelling alone, for He is called Ella Elohim. One that dwells with his entire Family. And then, you happen to be a part of that entire Family, dwelling with Him in His own Home; in His own residence, sharing everything in common with Him.
27. Is it not from here to Paradise, or from here to hell? What will take anybody to hell? Willful disobedience; Arrogance; Stubbornness; Pride, which will produce obstinate heart; unrepentant spirit.
28. Moreso, when you become powerful. Powerful means wielding unnecessary influence that will make it impossible for people to come near you, talk less of correcting you.
29. This is because, once you develop that spirit, you become incorrigible and also unapproachable. You will no longer be easily entreated. If you have that heart, you are on your way to perdition.
30. That is why Christ is our Living Example. If He is not revealed in human form, we may be having excuses for our lapses, but as long as He has appeared in human form and is dwelling with us, we are hearing His Voice and seeing Him.
31. Many that are hearing Voices and seeing Photograph are clamouring every day that they will have the opportunity to come and shake His hands, see Him live, talk to Him and He will talk back to them.
32. But there are people that are feasting with Him every day, suffering with Him every day and sharing everything in common with Him on a daily basis. What could be their reasons for not remaining steadfast with their conviction of Whom He is? This Message is for this Family, for when you believe, all things are possible.
33. AS LONG AS GOD LIVETH AND I LIVE, THIS IS THE FIRST FAMILY. FIRST FRUIT MUST COME FROM THIS FAMILY! Amen!
34. We have to accept this statement by Faith, because when you believe in this statement, it shall be unto you according to your Faith.
35. You may be that first fruit. I may be that first fruit. Anybody can be that first fruit. In other words, there can never be anything immortality without you. You know you are in the number because you are doing the will of your Father who is always in direct touch.
36. Just like this morning, I sat down there just like I have always been sitting down, and Promise took pains to barb My hair. How many are privileged to have this opportunity?
37. Of all the barbers in the whole world and in the whole Nigeria in particular, do you know that it is only one that is privileged to be shaving the hair of the President? Am I making sense?
38. Do you know that the President has stewards? He has gardeners. He has gatemen. He calls them by their names. He is conversant with all of them. Somebody prepares His daily meals, apart from the wife.
39. Somebody prepares His tea, His pap, His cornflakes, even His Indomie® noodles. Being a man, He eats every human food.
40. I remember when our former president Obasanjo was eating, and people were watching the food. A very delicious food that was equally good in appearance.
41. And they were swallowing their saliva. The president in his mood noticed what was happening, that they were having their eyes on the table, thinking that he could command his wife to bring food for the senators.
42. He said, “Gentlemen, I know you have your eyes and your throat on this dining table. Well, it is my food and not your own. I am not eating imported or foreign food. I am eating egusi soup and pounded yam, prepared by my wife.
43. So, if you like it, when you get home, tell your wife to prepare egusi soup and pounded yam.”
44. At another time, while they were going to Badagry, along the way, he saw a woman roasting corn with pear at Orile-Iganmu Junction, he halted. The convoy halted. He came out from his vehicle photographed.
45. We saw everything in the television. He went to the woman, purchased corn [2], purchased pear and gave a hundred naira. The woman wrapped the whole thing and he collected it, and waited.
46. While the woman was looking at the president, knowing that he is the president, he shouted, “Would you not give me my balance? Give me twenty naira. I bought eighty naira worth of corn and pear. Give me my twenty naira.”
47. The woman was even shocked that the president could give a hundred naira, when the woman was expecting to be a millionaire that the president has visited her stand.
48. The woman gave him twenty naira and he pocketed it and said to his entourage, “Gentlemen, I know you are surprised. If you want to eat corn and pear, buy your own here. I bought for myself.” He entered his vehicle. It is a quote.
49. What I am trying to say is this: if there is no other lesson to learn, learn the lesson that the president is a human being who eats whatever human beings eat and behaves like any other human being.
50. His own water is not imported water. That corn, was it imported. Was there any special stove that was used to roast it. The soup was prepared in the kitchen. The pounded yam was pounded by the helpers in the kitchen to suit his taste.
51. It is not different from the one we are eating here. Our own may even be better.
52. SO, WHAT AM I SAYING? GOD IS A HUMAN BEING. 100% HUMAN BEING. 100% GOD. ONCE YOU ARE PRACTICALLY AND PERSONALLY ACQUAINTED WITH HIM, THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE STEP TO BEGINNING TO LEARN FROM HIM AND UNDERSTUDYING HIM.
53. IF YOU WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH HIM; IF YOU WANT TO BE HIS FAVOURITE; IF YOU WANT TO BE NUMBERED AMONG THOSE HE WILL BE CHERISHING, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTUDY HIM TO KNOW HIS DISLIKES AND HIS LIKES.
54. THEN, IF YOU ARE WISE AND INTELLIGENT, YOU WILL DROP ALL HIS DISLIKES AND FACE HIS LIKES. AND ALSO IMBIBE THEM AND LET THEM ALSO BECOME YOUR OWN LIKES. LET YOUR LIFE; YOUR CHOICE AND THOSE OF THE PRESIDENT HARMONIZE. WILL THERE BE PROBLEM AGAIN?
55. The president will never ever think of sacking a workman living with Him, who is doing the right thing. He will never. Rather, he will keep on promoting Him. He will not be desiring that the person will be terminated. No!
56. But one that is giving headache will be shown the way out, for He does not want to have troubles with an employee He wants to help.
57. HEAR ME VERY WELL. ANY HELP ANYBODY IS RENDERING TO THE PRESIDENT IS SYMBIOTIC. YOU THAT RENDER THE HELP, YOU BENEFIT MORE THAN THE PRESIDENT. TRUE OR FALSE?
58. When you have come to the point where the president can stop on the way for you; I mean, while going home, he sees you trekking home, he will park, “My friend, why are you coming late. Now, enter the car.”
59. If you err, he will call you by your name. He will not say, “I do not know him”, “Who is that man? What do you call him?”
60. You do not know what it takes to be acquainted with somebody to the point of knowing who you are, your name, your family, your parents and everything. Have you not become one?
61. Now this is a President. Relate it to the Almighty God. The Supreme Intelligence that governs the universe. Do you know the population of the world?
62. From Adam was created till today, God knows the names of all that did that which pleased Him. That is why God said in the Bible, “I know you. I know your dwelling places. I call you by your names. And you are mine.” Can you imagine? Anybody that is not His, can He call him by his name? Never!!!
63. But I know your dwelling place, Your going out and your coming in, And you rage against Me. [Isaiah 37:28 NKJV]
64. My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: [John 10:27 KJV]
65. GOD IS HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH PEOPLE THAT DO NOT OBEY HIM, BUT THOSE THAT SERVE HIS INTEREST ARE HIS DELIGHT. THEY WILL LIVE WITH HIM AS LONG AS HE LIVES. Amen!
66. Why? They do those things that please Him. But on the contrary, you are wasting your time.
Stay awake! Be vigilant! Can you be asleep and be vigilant? Be sober! Be vigilant, for your enemy [your adversary] is roaring around you; the devil [Satan] is seeking to devour you. Will you go and sleep when your enemy is around you? The moment your enemy is around, do you blink your eyes? Do not ever blink your eyes one bit. Otherwise, he will strike you. Remember, it is a spiritual affair. A spiritual affair. A spiritual battle.

S LONG AS GOD LIVETH AND I LIVE, THIS IS THE FIRST FAMILY. You have to acknowledge it. FIRST FRUIT MUST COME FROM THIS FAMILY! M.U.S.T! Whether the devil likes it or not. I say, whether the devil likes it or not.
2. And this is what the devil is wrestling against. The devil is fighting tooth and nail. He will fight these individuals that inhabits this family, dwelling with THE SON OF MAN.
3. He must fight with them, day and night to make sure that they do not become a part of the first fruits that will be harvested.
4. The moment you receive the promises of God, the devil will be set loose to go after you. Do you not know what I am saying?
5. Our Brother Ojiakor went to bank and collected money which he will use for the ceremony. He never knew that immediately he left, somebody followed his vehicle.
6. The moment he parked and went to get a little thing, the person opened the motor and carried the money away.
7. You see! That is exactly what the devil is doing. If he had continued moving, the person would have stopped midway, knowing that he has escaped.
8. Our Brother Chidubem suffered the same fate two days ago.
9. So, what am I saying? I had also suffered the same fate at Ochanja [Onitsha].
10. I am saying that the devil is only following somebody who is possessing the gift of God.
11. The same way, thieves follow somebody who has something they can steal. Is it a lie Brethren?
12. Is it not one that has something the thief can steal that the thief follows and monitors? Is it a lie Brethren? The devil cometh but to steal, to kill, to destroy and to carry away, but God has come that we may have life, and have it more abundantly.
13. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. [John 10:10 KJV]
14. That is why He came with greater peace that passeth human understanding. Greater peace have they that know the LORD. And nothing shall, by any means, upset them, offend them or put them off course. No!
15. Great peace have they which love Your law; and nothing shall offend them or make them stumble. [Psalms 119:165 KJV]
16. They place things where they belong to, for we are fighting one common enemy. My enemy is not My Brother. My enemy is not My Sister.
17. My enemy is one that is inspiring the negative actions of My Brother; negative thoughts; negative imaginations. That is the person I am fighting against.
18. We are not fighting flesh and blood. We are not fighting human beings, but we are fighting spirit that are using human beings against the truth and against themselves in order to stop them from the heavenly race.
19. KNOW IT OF A SURETY THAT THE DEVIL CAN NEVER OPERATE AGAINST YOU WITHOUT USING YOU, BECAUSE YOU MUST, FIRST OF ALL, SUCCUMB BEFORE HE WILL WORK.
20. THE MOST POWERFUL INSTRUMENT THE DEVIL WILL USE TO FIGHT YOU IS YOU, FOR WHEN YOU RESIST, HE WILL FLEE, BUT WHEN YOU BECOME GULLIBLE; WHEN YOU SAY, “YOU ARE HIGHLY WELCOME”, HE WILL BEGIN HIS OPERATION.
21. WHEN GOD IS IN OPERATION, THE DEVIL IS ALSO IN OPERATION. IF YOU YIELD MORE TO THE DEVIL’S SIDE, YOU WILL HAVE WHAT WE CALL OPERATIONAL ERROR. OPERATIONAL ERROR LEADS TO MANY COSTLY MISTAKES WE REGRET AT THE END.
22. It is like it happened in the army and it is still happening. A few months back, we saw it in the net. We also saw it on the television and read it in the newspapers.
23. The Nigerian Air force was apologizing and the nation apologizing for the second time. In an attempt to get rid of the Boko Haram, there was operational error.
24. They dropped bomb in the internally displaced persons’ camp and wiped off innocent people. They regretted it. It was not deliberate, it was an operational error.
25. Recently also, we saw the youths in Nigeria demonstrating. They were not violent as at that time, although there were some signs of violence. Government had good reasons, even to win the case, but unfortunately, there was operational error.
26. Instead of entering into dialogue, some misguided people drawn from either the police or army fired live bullets. Investigation is still on. Innocent protesters who were unarmed, carrying flag and singing national anthem. Their own sons and daughters. And then they wreaked havoc.
27. With that singular operational error, Nigeria lost the battle with the youth. The whole world stood behind the youth. Whatever they were doing was ignored. All blames were now on Buhari who ordered the shooting.
28. Ex-presidents gathered and asked, “Who ordered this shooting.” I remember Obasanjo and Abdulsalami Abubakar, who were ex-presidents and ex-army generals.
29. They said, “No No No No No! Jack, you made the greatest mistake. You were a general. You know that no matter the provocation; no matter the height, you have no right whatsoever to fire live bullet at unarmed civilians, talk less of the youth carrying the national flag.”
30. This is where the greatest mistake has been made. By this, you have lost the fight. Whatever might be the problems might not be addressed the way you want it. Based on that, the youth went violent. Then killing, looting and arson resulted.
31. You see! That is what normally comes out of operational error. Whatever that could have been prosecuted; whatever that were plausible will be neglected, for any mistake to mention such thing will be linked to that operational error, “Why did you kill? Why did you shoot?”
32. But other things that were hidden will be completely set aside. They are now silent. You see why we guide against such operational mistakes.
33. One single mistake nullifies every other good thing you are heading to. So, if you must guide against error, guide against operational error. The idea might be good, but the application wrong. Once the application is wrong, it nullifies the whole idea.
34. That is why God said, “When you are correcting somebody, and there is no love in your heart and in your correction, you that are correcting becomes guilty and the person you are correcting becomes justified, for you were not correcting with love. All corrections must be done in love.”
35. Why? The idea is not to kill, but to correct, to put the person back in the right channel. But where love does not project, the whole idea is completely defeated, no matter how sensible it will be.
36. You cannot prosecute that case anymore, for it has been nullified due to operational error; Application error; Implementation error.
37. So, take note. That is what the devil does. When the devil comes, he will veer you off the track. Your noble idea will be truncated. You will have a noble idea, but in implementation, the devil will come in and misdirect the nuzzle and misdirect the attack; misdirect whatever you have in mind.
38. And what will be noised abroad will be the havoc that is caused by the operational error; implementation or application, but the main matter at stake will not be mentioned again as if it never existed.
39. That is why, be good leaders. Be good administrators. Be visionary. Do not be vicious. It pays more to be visionary than to be vicious. Am I making sense at all? The two are not the same.
40. It pays to be visionary. It pays to be objective. Hear Me very well. Be objective. Do not be subjective. Be objective. In your assessments and in your judgments, be objective. You will always win your battle.
41. Be focused. Be humble. Be gentle. Be filled with the spirit of love, having it at the back of your mind that the idea is to correct and not to destroy. Tomorrow, it may be your own turn. You may be the one that will be in error, and somebody will correct you. True or false?
42. Have we not been reading it there? We have read it over and over in the Book of Galatians. Can we read it again?
43. Galatians chapter 6 Amplified and Living Bible only because I want the best. I want to hand over.
44. AS LONG AS GOD LIVETH AND I LIVE, THIS IS THE FIRST FAMILY. FIRST FRUIT MUST COME FROM THIS FAMILY! I MEAN HARVESTED FROM THIS FAMILY. WE WILL LIVE TO TESTIFY OF THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD.
45. We will live to do what? Testify of the goodness of the LORD. Do you think that the devil will be happy to hear these statements? Do you think that the devil will be happy to hear these assurances from God?
46. Look at how brief it is. It captured My eyes after My meditations last night. I gazed at it again and again, and I said that there is no family, no individual God will bestow with this type of promise and the devil will allow them to have rest. The devil must wrestle with them.
47. WHAT THE DEVIL IS FIGHTING IS NOTHING BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IN YOU; THE PROMISES GOD HAD ALREADY SHOWERED ON YOU; WHAT IS AHEAD OF YOU, IF YOU WILL GET TO THE END.
48. So he will always try to do everything to divert you. That is why the devil is known for one thing. He plays diversionary roles, so that you will forget your target and forget what you are pursuing.
49. And once your attention is diverted, he will make you to counter what you have taught and what you have believed. You will be countering all.
50. You will be confessing it with your mouth, but using your manifestation to counter it. Who then will believe, for you are the one that has disbelieved yourself because whoever that lives a life contrary to the truth he receives and tells others about has already disbelieved himself. True or false.
51. If I believe in Myself, I will be the number one person to practice what I preach because I believe in Myself. I will become the Living Message everybody will copy from.
52. First fruit. Note it. How I wish that at the end of today, you will go home, go to your beds and then say like I used to say, “I must be numbered among the first fruit. I must be numbered among the first fruits.”
53. So that no matter the way the devil will come and insinuate rubbish, I will give it no attention. If it is money, take! If it is pride, take! Whatever the thing might be, I will make the sacrifice. I will pay the price which others paid, provided that, at the end, I will get My target. Satan, go behind Me. Amen.
As the blacksmith uses fire, hot fire, to refine gold, so THE SON OF MAN uses the fire that proceeds from His mouth to refine God’s jewels. Thus you are among the jewels of the earth if you are numbered among those that submitted, that cooperated and collaborated with THE SON OF MAN’s refining Messages. The goldsmith uses fire to refine physical gold. God uses the fire from the mouth of the Almighty; from the mouth of the Messenger He has sent to refine His own gold, His own jewels. Remember, it is the same fire that goes out of the mouth of God, which He has used to subdue even the very Anti-Christ. Amen.

LOVE FROM GOD IS CORRECTIVE
| G |
alatians 6:1. Amplified version. 1BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin… Anybody can be overtaken. Is it not true? There is nobody who can live a life free from error from beginning to finish.
2. That person is not born. That person is contradicting the Scriptures, for the Bible said, “There is no righteous man that sinneth not.”
3. For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. [Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV]
4. Take it or leave it. You cannot live that type of life from start to finish without error. Brethren, if anyone among us is overtaken by an error or by a fault, what do we do?
5. 1BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct OR SIN OF ANY SORT,…
6. Listen! SIN OF ANY SORT. You can now define the sin of any sort. Tell Me the one that is not included in that “ANY SORT”. Did he intend to go that way? No!
7. He was overtaken. In short, He was careless. He was not mindful of the Faith and what he was professing. And the devil overtook him.
8. Just like the young man [The young prophet from Judah] who was sent to Jeroboam. He was asked to go from another way, and never to look back or enter anybody’s house.
9. Number 1: He disclosed his mission, which he was told to keep secret
10. Number 2: He went back to the same old road where he was banned never to follow.
11. Number 3: He did not continue going as he was instructed never to enter anybody’s house or collect any item or food or drinks from their hands, which he had already disclosed.
12. Along the way, he sat under the oak tree, claiming to be tired. Why was he tired? He was now climbing a hill while going back. If he had followed the road approved by God, his strength would have been renewed.
13. For disobeying, following the old road from where he went, he wearied himself down, for unbelief wearies somebody down. Sin and misconduct demoralize. They are very dispiriting.
14. Immediately he sat down there, what happened? A fallen Prophet met him. An instrument in the hand of the devil met him there, and then gave him a prophecy that suited him. He followed the old prophet back. Did he come back alive? That was the end of the journey.
15. Let us be very careful, all of us. If a Brother or one among us is overtaken by a fault or sin of any sort, what do we do?
16. 1BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, YOU WHO ARE SPIRITUAL… You who are still in the Faith, who know better than that; you know better; you know it is not the person but the devil, what do you do?…YOU WHO ARE SPIRITUAL [WHO ARE RESPONSIVE TO AND CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT]… You are responsive to the Spirit of Christ. You are controlled by the Spirit of Christ, Spirit of Love, Spirit of Peace, Spirit of comfort and the Spirit of understanding and wisdom, spirit of Meekness [lowliness], spirit of humility.
17. …should set him right and restore and reinstate him,… Do what? Restore and Reinstate. You know what reinstatement is?
18. If somebody’s appointment is terminated in his work place, he is shown the way out. But if as a result of compassion, pleading, apologies and interventions, the authority changes their decisions, they have to write to that person.
19. [1] They will restore him to the service where his appointment was terminated. [2] They will give him a letter of reinstatement. From that reinstatement, they will state whether they are paying him arrears of salaries for the period he was relieved of his duties.
20. It is just like I have a testimony from Enugu. You will hear it, for it will be made public anytime from now.
21. A man who doubted this Faith is now believing because of his wife, while the wife is lamenting that she wasted all her years in foolish religion, only to realize at this dying minute that she was messing up with religion without reality.
22. A man was relieved of his job in Imo State University [IMSU]. For many years, the responsibility to run the family now rested on the wife, even to train the children in the secondary school and in the university.
23. Why? Unknown person who were trailing him, enemies in his work place, went and removed all his certificates from the files. Everything was removed.
24. They did it when the time came for verification of certificates. There was nothing to show. The man was declared a ghost worker. They showed him the way out.
25. He continued writing petitions. He continued everything and even went to the University where he studied and got letters, but IMSU dishonoured the letters.
26. The wife went into prayers. Just recently, for too many things have been happening around the wife from God and not from the devil, and she had been testifying all to the husband, what happened?
27. Lo and behold, one afternoon like that, the husband received a call after about 11 or 12 years that somebody discovered the file, and all the documents including appointment letters, with dates and everything intact and brought it to the authorities.
28. He was summoned. He saw the whole thing and slumped down. He nearly fainted with joy. God of miracle answered the prayers of the wife.
29. Then, they started interviewing him. They went through all the records and saw how he was shown the way out over the years.
30. Now, they have reinstated him, but one man, a professor vowed over his dead body that this man would come back to that institution. Maybe, he could be the one who sponsored his removal.
31. So, this became a big problem, for the thing was brought to the professor and he was asked to write the letter, but he said he would not write it and that it will not be while he was there.
32. The man to be reinstated started soliciting from table to table, but they said that the professor was the type that nobody could approach, for he was always full of himself.
33. He came back but the wife told him, “Leave it alone. I know the God I am serving.” She went to the calendar again. She narrated the first experience to the husband and told him that God who started it will finish it.
34. In less than one week, the news came that the professor got to the office and got paralyzed. He got paralyzed. It was noised about everywhere that the tyrant is paralyzed. People were wondering, but our Sister said, “It is not yet over. I will keep on calling upon My God until justice prevails. Few weeks ago, news came that the professor died.
35. Now, the file and the instruction is before one who is pathetic and God-inspiring.
36. Any moment from now, you will know the full text, for it must be noised abroad to the glory of God. Let us keep watch. You see how God answers prayers.
37. The Bible said in the Book of Psalms that the entire human race and the world bring their prayers and supplications to God for they believe He answers prayers.
38. 2O You Who hear prayer, to You shall all flesh come. [Psalms 65:2 AMP]
39. I am not believing he answers prayers because of what the Bible said. I am believing because of My own personal experiences. Amen.
40. So watch! If a person; a Brother or a Sister is overtaken in a fault; in a sin of any sort [underline that any sort], you who are spiritual, mature; you who are being controlled by the Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Love; for love is corrective; True or false?
41. Love from God is corrective, FOR whomsoever God loves, him He chastises; him he corrects that he might be zealous and repent.
42. 6For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. [Hebrews 12:6 AMP]
43. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [Revelation 3:19 KJV]
44. Did he say that they might be zealous and die? No! That is why God chastises with hot displeasure for He is aiming at putting the individual in right standing with Himself, not willing that the person will perish or go the wrong way.
45. And there is something God said concerning that punishment and chastisement.
46. In the book of Hebrews, it said, “No chastening of the present time seemeth to be joyous; no correction; no hot displeasure; no chastisement of the present hour when you are getting it, appears to be joyous, but afterwards, it yields peaceable result of righteousness.”
47. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. [Hebrews 12:11 KJV]
48. [11]Being punished isn’t enjoyable while it is happening—it hurts! But afterwards we can see the result, a quiet growth in grace and character. [Hebrews 12:11 LB]
49. It helps the individual to tighten up measures. So, I do not look at the hot displeasure or chastisement or the word of correction or the way and manner it came to you, but I am fixing My eyes on the resultant effect of that correction, for if we are left without correction and chastisement, the Bible said, “We are not children of God. We are bastards who will be disallowed, disapproved and rejected at the end.”
50. But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. [Hebrews 12:8 KJV]
51. 8Now if you are exempted from correction and left without discipline in which all [of God’s children] share, then you are illegitimate offspring and not true sons [at all]. [Hebrews 12:8 AMP]
52. [8]If God doesn’t punish you when you need it, as other fathers punish their sons, then it means that you aren’t really God’s son at all—that you don’t really belong in His Family. [Hebrews 12:8 LB]
53. That is why the Bible said, “Let the righteous man smite me.” It did not say, “Flog”, but SMITE! You know what it means to be smitten. Give Me wound, if it is possible.
54. To Me, it is like an ointment. It is like the balm of Gilead over My head, for at the end of the day, I am a beneficiary of God’s salvation.
55. Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. [Psalms 141:5 KJV]
56. This is because, oftentimes, such chastisement drives away evil spirits that are creeping into the life of the individual. That hot displeasure; hot chastisement, drives away too many evil thoughts that are accumulating and building up in the person.
57. That is why the Bible said, “Do not spare the rod.” The rod of correction is always in the hand of the Almighty, for it drives foolishness far away from the individual.
58. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15 KJV]
59. There are too many things you will be imagining in your heart, thinking and suggesting within yourself, your own action plans, a new style of life you want to engage in; a new type of spirit is coming in for the next level of evil.
60. The LORD Who knoweth the secrets of the heart will allow something to happen on your side which He will use to subject you to a state where those things will vanish in one second from your memory.
61. And the trouble you will be subjected to, whenever you remember it, you will be saying, “If this thing happened because of this; if I should allow it to manifest, it then means, that is the end of the road for Me.” Did you get it?
62. That is why there is no sympathy for anybody who is passing through the chastisement of God, for that is the attribute of every true seed of God.
63. And God said that if we are not passing through it, it then means we do not belong to God.
64. Often times, God arrests situations before they happen. Do you believe that? Just like somebody may carry a vehicle; God knows that if He allows the fellow to continue, he will die, God will place an obstacle on the way.
65. The person may be carried to the hospital, for it is better to take him to hospital than for him to perish as he continues.
66. Whatever God sees and blocks the way, using that accident, the fellow will not see it. He might be seeing the wound, the money he is spending in repairing the vehicle and paying the hospital bill, but he would not see the casket which would have been more expensive, for after receiving the casket, you embark on burial.
67. At the end, you come out empty-handed. Hopes gone! Dashed! Expectations from people, gone! So God knows.
68. The Bible says, “Anybody God loves, He will withhold him from going to that place or doing that which will destroy his life.”
69. So oftentimes, the dog is barking, not because it hates you, but the dog is barking because of what is in you.
70. God does not want us to err. For that reason, if the spirit of error is creeping in gradually, you might not notice it. God knows how to arrest it.
71. He will allow something to come your way. The moment it comes, your eyes will open. When you come out from that torture; from that chastisement, you will not be the same again. There is going to be a spiritual upliftment.
72. This is because when you rise up each time you fall, where you are rising up will tell you whether God was the one that pushed you down or the devil, for if the devil pushed you down, you will be marking time there.
73. But if God is the one that pushed you down, where you will rise will be higher than where you fell down. Experiences you will gather from that fall will sustain you all your life. It will linger throughout eternity.
74. So, do not think that God is not awake. That is why I believe Romans chapter 8 verse 20, “All things work together for good to them that love God; to them that are called according to His purpose.”
75. If you are here, called by God according to God’s purpose, and that is why you are in this Family of God, everything will work out for good, whether chastisement, rebuke, sickness or whatever the thing might be. It must work out for good.
76. GOD IS BEHIND EVERY ACTION OF HIS PEOPLE, HAVING ONLY BUT ONE AIM: TO PLACE THEM IN RIGHT STANDING WITH HIMSELF.
77. Now there is something God said there. You that are controlled by the Spirit of the love of God and you have come to help that person, be very careful about yourself, lest you be caught up in the same error, for next time it may be you and God will use somebody else to correct you.
1BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the spirit] should SET HIM RIGHT AND RESTORE AND REINSTATE HIM, WITHOUT ANY SENSE OF SUPERIORITY AND WITH ALL GENTLENESS, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also. Galatians 6:1 Amplified version.
78. I should also keep an attentive eye on myself, lest I will be caught in the same web; lest the devil will also catch me in the same error wherewith I have corrected somebody. Amen.
79. Pay attention! This Message is not for everybody, but for the Family of God; every Elect of God who is desirous of living with God eternally.
80. That is why I prefer a righteous man to smite Me to foolish people singing My praise. Every true seed of God is always desiring God’s correction. That is the only way we can live a fault-free life. A fault-free life. A life free from error. A life free from sin. A life free from wicked manifestations.
81. I thank God for this morning. My desire is that we join the rest of the Brethren elsewhere to go through this Message. It is on this pulpit. Let us start with Part 1.
82. I want our Brother Promise to be the reader. Last Friday, I wanted to use your services. You were willing, but along the way I snatched the book from you because the content was not what we needed that night.
83. But I believe this one will suit our heart desires and that of every Elect of God worldwide.
84. So, if you are doing your recordings, do not waste your tapes. You can stop right now and use whatever that has come out of My mouth as Random Comments from THE SON OF MAN.
85. Random Comments from THE SON OF MAN titled, BE CAREFUL THAT YOUR DAILY CHARACTER DOES NOT COUNTER THE TRUTH YOU ARE PROFESSING; YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT; YOU ARE HOLDING.
86. Be careful that your daily manifestations do not counter your faith and your belief because holding the Bible and holding the Spoken Word without living the life thereof automatically takes somebody direct to hellfire.
87. A heathen may be preferred to one who holds this Truth, but does not practice the content thereof. Of what use then is the Message? Will God spare the person? No!
88. He may even spare the heathen for not knowing the Truth at all, but to spare one that knows the Truth, propagates the Truth, says he believes in the Truth, but lives a life that contradicts or counters it, for he is a blasphemer.
89. He is throwing people far away from Christ, for through his character, many people are running away from the Truth.
90. That is why our lives must be worthy of the Gospel of Christ which we profess. Stop your tape there and let us go to the Message.
