BE READY AT ALL TIMES FOR THE EXECUTOR IS IN OUR MIDST BE READY AT ALL TIMES FOR THE EXECUTOR IS IN OUR MIDST Preached ON Saturday 25^th March 2023 During the Morning Altar AT Bishop Chidubem Jonathan’s House, Ibeku Opi BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN The Ancient of Days

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

This Voice went forth as the Saints gathered for the Burial of Mama Elizabeth Nwakaego Jonathan-Abonyi

For the Lord your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty Saviour. He will give you victory. He will rejoice over you with great gladness; he will love you and not accuse you.” Is that a joyous choir I hear? No, it is the Lord himself exulting over you in happy song.“I have gathered your wounded and taken away your reproach.

Zephaniah 3:17-18 Living Bible

Brethren, The Resurrected Body is in the Bride. Who will speak and it will come to pass? God! Remember, that is the One Still Small Voice speaking in the midst of many Voices, but His own is distinct, hidden in simplicity somewhere in the wilderness. A Voice away from all! The Message of the Son of Man can be summarized in a statement titled, “Heaven made possible.” Do you know that He was born under the law? And lived under the law? Do you know that? But having a Ministry to liberate as many as were in bondage to those laws

The word of god has LIVING power

There is no other thing we can offer to God than to say, “We are grateful”, “We appreciate”, “Thank you LORD”. If we have anything greater than that, we will offer.

So, we are here to say, “THANK YOU LORD”. We are here to say, “We are happy. We appreciate. We are grateful, and will ever remain grateful”.
Do not look at the ceremony from the light angle. It was not light. It is light because the LORD stepped in and then made everything very easy for us. Can you imagine a gathering of this magnitude, but we never experienced any embarrassing situation?
It is just like what happened in My own home when I buried My late wife. There was no embarrassment. But this one is an exceptional one in that she never belonged to our group. We rallied round our Brethren because of the love we have for her and the family.
People from all walks of life and too many interest groups participated in the burial traditionally and customarily. Too many things were involved. But in all, the LORD had the preeminence. He took absolute control.
There were some elements that vowed to scatter the whole thing. They were standby, they were watching from the grandstand to see whether there could be a loophole from where they will cash in. When they noticed that we plugged all the avenues, they were all disarmed.
And nobody scatters any event more than members of the same family. If the organizers of an event do not scatter it, it will be orderly. It will begin by them having misunderstanding among themselves and quarrelling with themselves.
Before you know it, tempers will begin to rise, and people will begin to push one another. When it gets to an intolerable height, fighting will be the end. Then you begin to see opposing groups appearing. Everybody will be in fear. Some will be on the run. Food will eat itself. I have witnessed it in many places.
I went round. In all, we used almost bottled drinks all through, but I never saw a broken bottle anywhere. I never saw anybody lifting a bottle, threatening to kill or to wound. I never witnessed it.
Who do you think could calm the tempest? God!! The glory of God covered everywhere. The glory of God disarmed them.
Even the musicians were shocked. You saw too many of them. There were some that never made a noise until we left. Although they were demonstrating, but they were demonstrating quietly by pleading that they should be given at least a minute to demonstrate.
Some were asking whether they offended Me, but I said, “No! You never offended Me.” They said, “Please, why not let us demonstrate. We have not come here for sightseeing. We have not touched our band, so that you can come over and dance and people will know that we are here for something.”
I said, “Yes! The gift is there. I have noticed all the signs.” But we give God the praise. We give God the praise.
The first son of the family was all out to destabilize the peace of everybody. He came fully out. A man who could stand before this congregation; before this array of people, lifted his hand to slap [I mean] somebody who can stifle him. He never considered the height. And he never knew the man.
When he hit Deacon David, I shivered. He pushed him out, simply because he needed the microphone to make an announcement. The musician had already handed over the microphone to Bro. David. He rushed furiously, snatched it and then pushed him out.
I was sitting there watching. He wanted to advance, but somebody held him back. And I had already waited. I told My daughter, “Go inside. I do not want any embarrassment. Let Me watch the steps again.”
I wanted to cripple him there. That would have been the best gift the Abonyi family would have received. He would not die, but his legs will never walk on this surface again, for I came with My full regalia. I never came to Opi to joke. I came to this Opi for a strict business. I announced it ahead of time. I never declared it a warfare.
He is ordinary bread. Ordinary bread. I wanted to handle him quietly in My own way to instill fear in him forever and ever.
Since he does not recognize the Majesty of the LORD, the Majesty will now recognize Onyema by giving him reasons enough, either to repent or to steer clear from My sight in any gathering where I appear.
And if it is possible, he should be in hiding till I leave the scene. I have marked him today as My known enemy.
And I am coming back in My own way. I will be back soon. I say, I will be back soon. So let Me reserve My comments.
Let Me thank all of you who rallied round. We appreciate your labour of love and your selfless services. We appreciate all, no matter how small. No contribution is small. In a ceremony such as we had, every contribution is valuable.
So, I say thank you to all of you. You have proved to Me that [in short] you love Bishop Chidubem and his family. I am not mincing words. I am equally grateful to My daughter who has disproved all our enemies. All critics have been proved wrong.
I could hear some people from Opi saying, “Anybody who wants a good wife should go to Mbaise.” I said, “Is that so? Opi? Opi women, acknowledging superiority? Even Opi men? Opi youths could acknowledge that somebody could be liberally-minded and could possess all things?” Well, I just thank God.
Let Me quote Bishop Chidubem Jonathan. He made this statement before Me. He said, “The best decision I have taken in My life from the day I was born is the decision to marry Ijeoma SON OF MAN.”
He is still alive. And I underlined it. It coincided with what I wrote concerning My own wife when she was alive. I do not need to extol the qualities of your marriage. I mean, nobody is blind. I say, nobody is blind. We are all wide awake spiritually and physically. So, it is with the people surrounding us. So, I give God the glory.
But looking at the way the whole thing was organized, I looked at the family, the number of people they were taking care of, I was watching her face, and I concluded within Me that My wife went to heaven and left her children here for the world to see what she produced. She only produced herself.
All of them with hearts full of accommodation for everybody, free with everybody, opening their bedroom, their kitchen and everywhere for their fellow Sisters, interacting with everybody, no discrimination and always intercessory.
I watched from all ramifications the relationship with the relations of the husband and the maternal home. She has become the talk of the day as if she is living here. Many that heard about her shivered this time. I felt on top of the world. The credit goes to God and God alone.
So, when I begin to challenge our Sisters—married and unmarried—using My family as a Standard, I mean, I think I will be right. Do not be envious, but emulate good qualities. I say, do not be envious. Emulate good qualities. You can now begin to appreciate why I am having a peaceful composure in My Family.
WHEN YOU HAVE A FAMILY THAT IS GODLY, AND HAVE GODLY CHILDREN, YOUR HOUSE WILL BE FILLED WITH PEACE THAT PASSETH ALL HUMAN UNDERSTANDING. MONEY CAN NEVER BUY PEACE.
Nobody looks refreshed because of what he or she is eating. You are not eating more than any other person. But when you have peace of mind, definitely, you will be looking refreshed.
Failure is not a good thing to mention. I say, failure is not a good thing to mention. Everybody is aspiring [I mean] to be successful. Assert your footprint here. I say assert your foot print by making a success of your career. In any field of endeavour where you find yourself, see it as your career. Aim at making a success there.
I thank God that she came from nothing. Now, she is something. When anyone is counting the number of wives in Abonyi family, she will not be excluded.
But My greatest joy is that she maintained a healthy relationship with her mother-in-law while she lived. In short, she was the only one; the only one. [The Bishop said, “The only one”] I thank God you are saying it.
Mama said it to My hearing. And that was the day we came here for the ceremony to know My son-in-law’s home town and where My daughter is married. Mama danced all the way to My daughter and appreciated her with a gift of a new wrapper.
She said before the whole world that gathered there, “Glory be to God. At last, He has done all I have been requesting from Him. I now have one person about whom I can say, “See My son’s wife and who takes me as her mother. My in-laws, do not panic at all. She takes me as her mother. I will also take her as my daughter. She is the only one that considers me a mother. She is the only one that cares for me. She is the reason why I am there.””
That is why each time My daughter delivers, she will try her best to be there so that she will at least bathe the new baby and stay with My daughter. And I give God the praise.
When I got to Nsukka, I saw that the absence of My wife was not felt. My daughter was at home with her mother-in-law and with everybody. I mean, nothing is as comforting as that. I said, “Oh! Another place also.”
I got to Lagos, it was the same story and in the same way. I said, “Who am I then. I will keep on holding My head high.”
I am not looking for a wealthy family. I am looking for a peaceful family. That is exactly what I want. But can there be peace in a family where there is no Christ. [The Brethren answered, “No sir!”]
What is more? I really thank God for this Faith. If you have not embraced the truth in this particular Faith of Christ; If you have not accepted the truth and reflected it in your life, you would not know the power that is embedded in the Word of God.
The Word of God has power [1] To Convert, [2] To Reform, [3] To Refine the life of every recipient of the Word of God. But when you are paying lip service to it, you are doing yourself more harm than good.
This is because when you receive the truth, the level of truth your conscience cannot denounce, you will remain troubled each time you offend in that truth, for you are offending yourself. But unfortunately, some do not have living consciences. Their consciences died many years ago.
Anybody who acts anyhow, talks anyhow and has no recourse to the future, that person does not have a living conscience.
References: [1] Ephesians 5:17. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but try to find out and do whatever the LORD wants you to do. LB
There are too many things that restrained us from too many habits like I use to read it before My children. Get it in Living Bible. I sing it as a song in My Family. 1 Corinthians 6:12.
[The LORD condemns a particular version of Living Bible that was read] This is not Living Bible. This is not Living Bible. So, you do not have Bibles here. There is no way I can talk to you without the Scriptures. This is a childish Bible.
Do you not have it even in your android handsets? Remember I have decried the use of these android handsets to replace the Bible. Your Bible does not have any replacement. Your android handset is to help you while you go out. It can never replace the Bible. It can never replace the Holy Qur’an.
If I, being THE SON OF MAN, take delight in searching the Scriptures, you do not have any excuse whatsoever not to be searching the Scriptures. You cannot read this childish Bible again.
1 Corinthians 6:12, Living Bible.^[12]I can do anything I want to if Christ has not said no, but some of these things aren’t good for me. Even if I am allowed to do them, I’ll refuse to if I think they might get such a grip on me that I can’t easily stop when I want to. Thank you! That is My emphasis.
Number one: You are a free moral agent. All of us here are free moral agents. That is why God conferred on us the rights of self-determination, that you may determine for yourself the type of character, the type of life you want to live, the type of God you want to worship.
Now, every choice you make in this life affects your future either adversely or otherwise. That is why when you are making your choice of life and your choice of character, be very careful. Think about your future.
This is because there are certain choices you make in this life that will have a firm grip on you. In the long run, you begin to discover that that habit is very harmful and it cannot in any way, lead you to that El dorado.
You begin to think of withdrawing from it, but there is no way you can break away because it has now wrapped itself around you. It has a firm grip over you.
Be very careful. Be very very careful. At any point in time, you are forming a habit, either good or bad. At any point in time, you are forming a habit, either good or bad. No habit is formed and consolidated in one day. Is there any?
In a funny way, if it is not good to be funny, it cannot be a joke. God does not joke. There is nothing like joking as far as God is concerned. He says what He means, and He means what He says. And whatever He says goes. Straightaway!
And you might be thinking that He is kidding. Wait till tomorrow. You will begin to regret for not giving listening ear to what He was saying, for you must receive a visitation of that same Message.
You have the right to do whatever you want to do, provided God has not said no.
How do you know when God has said no? Do you tilt your ear to the sky so that you will hear His Voice from the sky? How will God say no? How do you know since He has conferred the right on you to do what you want to do provided God has not said no? That is, provided God has not disapproved of it.
[1] You do not study to know the truth. The whole Messages that you packed, you do not go through them. You live your life the way you want without any consideration for the Word of God.
[2] If you have not formed the habit of meditating before acting, there is no way you will know the perfect and acceptable will of God. When you know the perfect and acceptable will of God, it becomes very easy for you to make the type of choice that will conform to His stipulations.
He has given us guiding principles and left us with only two to decide. God regulated everything about us and allowed us to regulate our affairs all through.
But if you have chosen God as your own God Who you will worship, you are obligated to listen to Him. You are obligated to obey Him. You are obligated to walk according to His precepts. You do not own yourself anymore.
If you have said no to Him, and you have chosen the way of the devil, God will not ask you why. Since you have made up your mind to go that way, He will rather help you to consolidate your gains and losses. He will be watching you. He will never speak because that is the way you have chosen to go.
And when you have chosen the way you want to live your life, automatically, you have chosen the way you want to die. You have chosen your destination where you are heading to. It is irreversible. It is irreversible.
Like I keep on upbraiding our youths. In everything, note one thing. wherever you are standing in your youth will determine where you will sit down in your old age.
Wherever you are standing in your youth, automatically, determines where you will sit down in your old age.
That is why the Scriptures enjoins the youth, “Please do not waste your youthful days. Use your youthful strength to serve God.” This is because a time is coming. It may take you unawares, for you can never remain a youth forever.
Reference: Ecclesiastes 12:1.¹Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”- ²before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; NIV
Too many things can pack you even in your youth. Too many youths have been packed. True or false? Have you not seen them? Many have been packed. They are alive, but they have been packed.
I saw some dancing. I saw some drinking, but mentally, deranged. I saw some that were living [I mean] horrible lives. They were with us before. When I came in there, I shook my head. They are youths, but they have been packed—males and females. Males and females!
SO DO NOT THINK YOU WILL ONLY BE PACKED AT YOUR OLD AGE. YOU CAN BE PACKED AT ANY AGE.
There is no way you can neglect God’s counsel without being self-destructive. When you begin to approve for yourself the way you want to live, instead of God approving, you are no longer walking with God, and God is no longer walking with you.
God will not kill you, but iniquity will kill you. That which you know should not be mentioned around you, you harden your heart and continue with it anyhow, that is what will kill you. You will stop your journey midway. You can never get to your destination safely.
If you know Who is addressing you this morning, you will believe that this is the greatest thing that has happened to you today, for many of the faces that are seeing Me now, may never see this face again. This may be the last time I will see you and you will see Me. I do not know what will unfold tomorrow.

Enough is enough. Idolaters in the Camp, this is the hour of manifestation of sons and daughters of God. Do you not know I have not come to bring peace but separation? Do you not know that our God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the God of separation? The author of separation. ……. Now, I am about to destroy the whole world, the world is ripe for destruction and I have come down in person to see for Myself and I am satisfied that the world has gone back to exactly the age of Noah and the age of Sodom and Gomorrah. Yes! I have come down from Heaven, putting on human flesh. Will I hide from Abraham My plan, My programme? …..

THE SON OF MAN

ACTION TIME PART 1 (HUSBANDS AND WIVES) CAMP MEETING; preached on Tuesday, 30^th December, 1997 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 64 vs. 5 & Pg. 67 vs. 13 – 14

THE HOUR WE ARE IN IS A VERY UNPREDICTABLE ONE

About this time yesterday, I called you here. And I told you what to expect. The moment I arrived, I announced to you that you have buried your mother. I have come. Go and tell your Brethren, “Nobody should live in fear. Nobody should panic. I have arrived. Mama is buried.”

I called you yesterday morning. I told you what to expect. Look at the weather today. And it went round. I allowed doubting Thomases to see the Cloud in the air approaching, smoking, drizzling as if you can see the dew. No dew. No rain. Let the doubting Thomases see.
And that was what the Palestinian soldiers saw on the day I visited Israel to help them out of that war. They were firing, but the thing was holding the whole bullets.
When it enveloped them, they were running away, thinking that the Cloud will just descend on them. They now shouted, “The Cloud has returned to Israel.”
Since that day, have they seen anything like that again? I allowed the doubting Thomases so that they will not give the credit to the gods of their land.
I heard that some had already concluded that even the interment will be scattered because the rain had already descended. Some said that the grave will be filled. I said ok.
Even among you, some could not believe what they were seeing. They decided to go out to the field to feel their bodies to know whether there was anything rain dropping. They saw Me walking around, watching the whole thing.
I wanted every Tom, Dick and Harry to feast their eyes before I dismiss it. When I dismissed it, I went and took My photograph. I said, “Announce to the Brethren from Onitsha and everywhere. Begin now to go. Fear not you are getting home sooner than you think.”
All of them got home safely. Some got home before 7pm. Even when Melchizedek got home, he called Me. Nobody was trapped on the road. Their vehicles never spoilt. The first to reach home was Umuahia.
So, remember I announced it, “I have moved My operational base to Opi. I am going to be around there. There is no other place I want to stay. Let the heaven fall on Me there.”
The same way I moved it when the thing was hot. I said I would not stay at Nsugbe to handle Umuoji. I will move My operational base to Bro. Ojiakor’s house to handle Umuoji in My own way. I moved there. And I handled the whole traditional chiefs in Umuoji. They were astonished.
So, I am talking to you live, as you are seeing Me live. I am not pleading with you. Neither am I persuading you. The time for persuasion is all over. I am not making a new selection. I am watching all of you for a reason best known to Me.
Turn with Me to the Book of Hebrews Chapter 4 verse 12. Living Bible. ^[12]For whatever God says to us is full of living power:… Whatever Who says? …whatever God says to us is full of living power:…
Who has been talking to us from morning till now? What he said to the family of Bishop Jonathan, the power has been made manifest. Look at the sky again.
Was it not because of heat that we were demanding for air-conditioners? We kept demanding for functional air-conditioners until the whole thing became insulting.
But yesterday, we were told to lower the AC, that it was too much. I saw some people put on their pullover. Some covered themselves with wrapper. Some were even wearing three shirts.
Today, they will remove all those pullovers. Some nearly killed themselves with hot drinks as if they are living in Europe. Today, come and drink again. You will remain sleeping until we go.
So whatever God says is full of living power in the eyes of God’s children only. How do you know them? They give listening ear to the Word. They do not joke with it. They believe it because they know the Source.
When Saint Paul was ministering to the Galatians, he said, “You know me very well as I know you. You know the source of my Message, for it comes from no less a Personality than the LORD Jesus Christ Himself.”
Knowing the Message and knowing the Source of the Message helps somebody, but if you do not belong to God, God does not belong to you, for God is with you while you are with Him. If you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
How do you forsake God? By ignoring His Word. When you treat the Word of God with levity, you have already published your everlasting obituary, for what God does and whatever that is attributed to God is everlasting. It is everlasting.
He is The everlasting God that does everlasting things. You cannot add. You cannot subtract. That is why, once he says it, it is guaranteed. If God has said it, it is guaranteed. Your unbelief or your belief means nothing. It must achieve that for which cause the Word went forth.
That is why, when God condemns anything, it stands condemned throughout the eternity of eternities.
If you disbelieve it or you are not happy with the condemnation, and you begin to trouble God, after cross-examining you, He will say, “Ok, do that which pleases you” or “This is the way you want it. Ok, go and do it.” And you will be jumping up and shouting, “He granted it!”
You are blind. You have been given a rope to hang yourself, for God can never bypass His Word.
It is too far away from God to tell a lie. So let us be very very careful especially from this hour we are in. the hour we are in is a very unpredictable one.
Do not say that whatever God is saying today is for the future. He can speak to you now and in the next minute, you will see it. But it will come to pass when He wants it to come to pass.
If God’s promises are tied to time, yes, I believe that one to be true. But where is God? What if tomorrow becomes today? This is because your tomorrow starts now.
Yes! That was what destroyed Martha. Martha, do you believe that Lazarus will come forth from the dead and live again? She said, “LORD, I believe, but it will be in the last day according to the Scriptures.”
He said, “Ok, thank you for believing. Let us wait for the last day. Who is there? Roll away that stone for Me. Lazarus! Come forth!”
Then Mary rejoiced exceedingly that she never believed in vain, while Martha covered her face in shame waiting for the last day.
Who knows the last day? Who owns the last day? Tell Me the date of the last day. Tell Me the calendar. Tell Me the book that published the last day.
Going by the last day, Saint Peter stood up on the day of Pentecost and said, “We are now in the last day.” Do you know how many years that have elapsed from Pentecost till now?
But all that he said are coming to pass, gradually. And at last, I have arrived. They preached to the people telling them to wait for the arrival of Christ who will come and give them eternal life. At last, I have arrived, and you are still waiting for the last day.
Your last day may be now. Your last day may be now. What if your last day is now; today, and you are unprepared? What do you think God will do? Will He change His mind because of you? Whatever that is documented is documented. He decreed it, and so shall it happen.
I say, at last, I have arrived. And I announced it to everybody. I never persuaded you to believe. No! Whether you believe or you do not believe, it can never change it. Your belief does not add. Your unbelief does not subtract.
I am what I am, and I do My pleasure. And My pleasure is: All that will hear me and believe in Me, act according to My Word, I must give all of them eternal life. They will never perish. And nobody will snatch them from My hand, for they do that which is pleasing to Me.
And that is the relationship between the Father and the Son. The Father could not leave the Son because the Son was the Son of His pleasure, Who was always doing the will of His Father, having one intent: To fulfill it with joy.
He was doing the Father’s will. So, there was no way. He remained doing it. That is why the Father can never depart from Him. Never! So, it is to all of you.
Hebrews 4:12, Living Bible. ^[12]For whatever God says to us is full of living power: it is sharper than the sharpest dagger, cutting swift and deep into our innermost thoughts and desires with all their parts, exposing us for what we really are.
Exposing us for what we really are that we are either counterfeit or original. If you are not the original, you are fake. We have too many false brethren among us. That you are in the Fellowship of the Saints does not make you a Saint. The devil has the right to Fellowship. I hope you are hearing Me.
Do not count your membership of your Fellowship; the gathering which you decided to form or formulate for yourselves, for ease of identification and a way of helping one another.
These are earthly arrangements. These are earthly arrangements. Heathen equally have their own. It has nothing to do with the life that Christ gives.
A good number of people among us, especially the Ministers take delight in their Fellowship. Hear me very well. It is for one reason. I say, it is for one reason. They see it as the only way they can, at least, have a people they can lead.
They want to answer leaders, but they are rulers. They want to answer leaders, but they turn out to be rulers. They want to have a people by their side. That is why they are all clamouring for one position or the other.
God is not saving you because of that position. He can even elevate you to the LORD Jesus Christ. Anywhere you go, they will call you, “The LORD Jesus Christ! Kabiyesi o!” Yet, you are heading to hell.
For that reason, I have always recommended that it is better for you to make a name for yourself than to answer a name. Do not answer a name, it may be destructive. But make a name. Make a name. Strive to make a name. Strive to make a name. Give yourself a name.
Do not claim what you know you do not have. Anything you do not have; you do not have it. If you are desirous of it, go after it. By His grace, you will get it. But not many get up. Those that wake up in the morning and diligently seek Him with all their hearts must find Him.
When you diligently seek God, truthfully seek God, desire to walk in His ways, definitely God will reveal Himself to you. But when you are merely paying lip service, He knows. You are saying what others are saying.
You are clustering yourselves together as brethren to enable you identify yourselves, but not to serve God. That is why, when you were gathering together in your Local Assemblies, I could not see worship.
I only saw law courts. I only saw dispute centers in service, where you were gathering to settle disputes. But instead of settling disputes, you aggravate disputes because already you were having disputes with yourself.
When you are disputing with God, how can you be an arbiter? Settle your own problem first. And you want to settle somebody’s dispute.
You are having disputes. It is internal. And you want to settle somebody’s dispute. It cannot work. Have you settled your dispute with God? This is because, he that is walking contrary to the revealed truth is disputing with God. The person is having dispute with God. True or false? God is equally having dispute with you.
A time came when the people of Israel never knew that they were having dispute with God. God called them, “All these years, you have been disputing with Me. Today, we will resolve this dispute. If God is God, worship Him. If He is not God, go your way and worship Baal.”
Reference: 1 Kings 18:21. ^[21]Then Elijah talked to them. “How long are you going to waver between two opinions?” he asked the people. “If the Lord is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” LB
At the end, who was the loser? The Jews. The LORD departed. They lost their security. No security for anyone that goeth out or cometh in. They lost everything. But until they cried unto the LORD and turned away from their wickedness through fasting and praying, the anger of the LORD calmed down.
That is why He gave us the Message, “IT IS ONLY IN RETURNING AND WAITING that we shall be saved” [on Sunday 10^th September 2017], for we all wandered astray like sheep without a Shepherd. All of us wandered astray. And many are still wandering astray.
This is because the moment you go ahead of God, you leave Him behind. Make sure that God is with you in whatever you are doing. Whatever you want to embark on, no matter how dandy and beautiful it will be in your eyes, be very careful for the devil is an expert in painting a rosy picture of tomorrow.
The devil will cover the deepest hell with carpet and tell you to walk on it. The devil is an expert in using fanciful carpet or rug to cover bottomless pit and lure you to walk on it, knowing that that carpet can never sustain your weight, and that you must sink. And the moment you sink, you sink endlessly.
Reference: Surah 17:39-40.³⁹[Iblîs (Satan)] said: “O my Lord! Because you misled me, I shall indeed adorn the path of error for them (mankind) on the earth, and I shall mislead them all. ⁴⁰“Except Your chosen, (guided) slaves among them.” Hilali-Khan Translation.
³⁹Said he, “Lord! For (the fact) that You misguided me, indeed I will definitely adorn for them (i.e., make “evil” attractive to them) in the earth; and indeed I will definitely misguide them all together, ⁴⁰Excepting Your bondmen among them, who are most faithful.” Dr. Ghali Translation
³⁹(Iblis) said: “O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,- ⁴⁰“Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace).” Abdullah Yusuf Ali Translation
So, let us be very careful from now henceforth. We are through with the burial. We have interacted with everybody. But let us realize that the woman that was buried yesterday lived here on earth as we are living now. But now low in the valley of Sheol. And it has no age. Death has no age. Death does not respect anybody’s age.
So do not say, “I am still young. It is not yet my turn.” A good number of your mates are no more. Some of your classmates have been buried long long time ago. That you are alive till today is amazing grace.
Have you found out the purpose why you are still alive? Have you out found the purpose? Those who died before now missed the opportunity of His visitation. And there is no remedy. There is no remedy.
But the greatest condemnation comes to us, that we have received Him, that we have heard from Him, but we set His Word at naught. That is the greatest condemnation.

If you do not know where we are, better know it now. We are talking about the Resurrected Body. I believe that it is the same Resurrected body that is still in our midst, talking to us and giving us the Word of life. ……. Of a truth, we have seen nothing yet. Remember the Message we are considering is The Resurrected Body. Have I not been telling you that I do not preach the crucified Christ? I am preaching the Christ that arose from death and not the one that was crucified and He will remain alive forever and ever for He holds the key to Hell and Heaven.

THE SON OF MAN

KNOWING YOUR STATUS IN CHRIST; Preached on Sunday 9^th September 2010 at the Household of God, Onitsha;Pg. 62 vs. 2 & Pg. 65 vs. 5

I AM THE RESURRECTED BODY [1]

Read that place again. I am interested. Hebrews 4:12, Living Bible. ^[12]For whatever God says to us is full of living power:… Remember you have the right to do whatever you want to do; think the way you want to think and act the way you want to act and so on provided God has not said no.

And if you do not discover how God speaks to people; how God approves and disapproves of something, you are running a risk. You are running a risk.
Is there anybody in this Bridal Faith, the Faith of THE SON OF MAN; the Faith of Christ revealed who does not know the various ways God speaks to His people? Do I begin to teach it again? Impossible for Me to do, for that is what I have been doing all these years; for over 30 years now. For over 30 years now.
So, it will be arrant stupidity on My side to begin to turn over the books again. And then from the books, re-introduce Myself so that you believe in Me. If you do not want to believe, do not believe. I have a lot. More than enough. I say, more than enough.
Just like I was talking to Brethren at Nsukka of how people miss God in all the Ages. From the time God revealed Himself from among us in accordance with His will and promise, your Redeemer will be drawn from among you.
He must be somebody who speaks your own language. It can be your brother from your own family. That is the way He wants to do it and He has done it. It has been the way since the world began.
It was the controversy that arose between Miriam, Aaron and Moses, for Moses was drawn from among them, the junior brother to Aaron and junior brother to even Miriam, for Miriam was the one that nursed Moses. Any lesson to learn?
The people that should have made a noise could have been people from other tribes in Israel querying, “Why must it be three persons from one family?” instead the people that should have queried kept quiet. Those that were given the honour started quarrelling among themselves.
One was made God, while the other one was made Prophet to interpret. The other one was made a singer who will be leading in praises. The rest were not given any office. And these are members of the same family with the same father and mother.
References: [1] Exodus 4:14-16.^[13]But Moses said, “Lord, please! Send someone else.” ^[14]Then the Lord became angry. “All right,” He said, “your brother, Aaron, is a good speaker. And he is coming here to look for you and will be very happy when he finds you. ^[15]So I will tell you what to tell him, and I will help both of you to speak well, and I will tell you what to do. ^[16]He will be your spokesman to the people. And you will be as God to him, telling him what to say. LB
[2] Exodus 15:20-21.^[20]Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine and led the women in dances. ^[21]And Miriam sang this song: Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and rider have been drowned in the sea. LB
Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] said, “Be very careful that my descent from among you does not corrupt you, for Allah does not send a Prophet except in the language of the people He is sent to.”
Reference: Surah 14:4. ⁴We sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases: and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom. Abdullah Yusuf Ali Translation
And that the LORD our God will take from among you, your own countryman according to the Bible. And that has been the way he has been doing it. He has never changed His program. I will not change it because of you.
Any day God uses a stranger to talk to a people, they are lost. He said, “Whether you believe it or not, that is God’s plan.” Finish!
I cannot begin to re-introduce Myself to the people that do not believe in Me. When I appeared, I told you clearly that you do not know Me. My people do not know Me. And I wanted you to know Me. Some knew Me.
Now, those who thought I was making a false claim, I said, “Before your eyes, look at what I will manifest. I will manifest all the supernatural attributes of the Deity in public. Even those your fathers never saw, you will witness all, for we have come to the end of all things to establish one fact that God is on earth, walking on two feet. Those things that sounded like stories will be real to all.”
Nobody has ever manifested the Godhead. Saint Paul for one day, never manifested the Cloud. And what is the Cloud? It is the One that leads you to your Maker.
Reference: ARCHAEOLOGICAL WRITINGS OF THE SANHEDRIN AND TALMUDS OF THE JEWS: Chapter 5 – Gamaliel’s Interview with Joseph and Mary, and others concerning Jesus. Another plan he has of setting men right with the laws of nature: he turns nature into a great law book of illustrations, showing that every bush was a flame, every rock a fountain of water, every star a pillar of fire, and every cloud the one that leads to God.
That was why to identify God has always been easy with His people, for they are looking for one Sign: The Cloud.
But when the LORD Jesus Christ appeared, they never knew Him as the Deity. They were asking for the Cloud. He said, “Wait, you will see it when you must have killed Me.”
References: [1] John 10:24. ²⁴The Jews gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? IF YOU ARE THE CHRIST, TELL US PLAINLY.” NIV
[2] Luke 11:29-30.²⁹As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. NIV
But he revealed the Cloud to only three, Peter, James and John, and told them to keep it to themselves, “Make sure you do not tell anybody about it.”
To the rest, they were blinded. Hence, they remained requesting for the Father, “Show us the Father. If you are the Father, tell us. Do not leave us in confusion.” He ignored them.
Saint Paul had his own supernatural experience by having audible Voice, and the meeting of the same bright light that parceled My wife home on the 29^th of August, 2023. Then it pointed him to Ananias who will teach him and tell him all. The Voice did not tell Paul all, but rather said, “Go to Ananias.” I do not want to dwell there, but whatever God says is full of living power.
Since you have seen the supernatural, when the Cloud was removed from Moses, Who removed the Cloud? God. And then, the Cloud now surrounded Joshua. What happened? It was all over for Moses to reign. God packed Moses.
The Jews who were crying and demonstrating saw the Cloud now on Joshua, and now vowed a vow and pledged their allegiance, “As we were with Moses, so we shall be with you, giving you similar support. Whosoever that shall not obey you will be killed instantly there. But be courageous and do your work.”
Moses then became a miniature leader. Act 1:1 – 3 AMP “He could not interpret the Torah again, for the Spirit has moved away. Moses could not even read and interpret. People started weeping for Moses, but they never knew that that was where God said He should stop.
That I am still on the scene means, no other is coming. And this is because I have manifested all to you. And when I appeared, I told you, “Expect no other.”
Then I convinced everybody. I have used beyond anything anybody can think of: series of many convincing demonstrations that are unquestionable and traceable to the holy writings. Evidences abound. And then, the infallible Word. What else do you want? ACTS 1:1-3 AMP
In the former account [which I prepared], O Theophilus, I made [a continuous report] dealing with all the things which Jesus began to do and to teach Until the day when He ascended, after He through the Holy Spirit had instructed and commanded the apostles (special messengers) whom He had chosen. To them also He showed Himself alive after His passion (His suffering in the garden and on the cross) by [a series of] many convincing demonstrations [unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs], appearing to them during forty days and talking [to them] about the things of the kingdom of God.
No other person is here except the same Person Who has been on the trail. Nobody called Him the Resurrected Body. He introduced Himself. On Easter Sunday, He told you, this is the Message, and then gave you the vindication.
For the first time, the Cloud was seen in the Gentile world manifesting the Elohim, not a sign of the Elohim.
He said before your eyes, “While I live and you live, I must bring down the Godhead so that you will be quiet.” When I want to magnify Myself in your midst, I will show you My Original Body. So, somebody wearing a white garment is no longer imaginary. And that is how you will be.
You have seen the Original Body. He has appeared. We have seen Him as He is. And we shall be like Him wearing unspotted garment.
But before He showed you that Body, He gave you a Message, IN HIM WAS THE FATHER REVEALED [Preached on Sunday 27^th May, 2012]. So, today, in Him also shall the Father be revealed. And He revealed the Father.
To tell you He is not stationary, He said He is moving out, and He is going to connect Local Assemblies to the Godhead and that he will begin with Kaduna. From Kaduna to Kano. And that he will tour the eastern zone.
A handset that was switched off captured Him hanging. The Congregation was below, and He was folding his hand and watching them as they were worshipping. And they never knew somebody was there, wearing the same white garment. No other personality than this One.
What is a mask? And then, what is a masquerade. Look beyond the mask. You will see the masquerade. What people are running away from is not the mask, but the masquerade.
He that is in the mask is seeing you, but you cannot see Him. You can talk to Him. He can talk to you if He wants to talk. Otherwise, He will keep quiet.
Was it not that He revealed the Big Masquerade? The Masquerade we have came by revelation. He said, “We are going into the revelation of God”, people rushed and began to read the Book of Revelation.
He came and said, “Who is in the Mask?” For revelation is divine. They never knew He was about to remove the veil so that everybody will see Him in plain view just as He is.
At the end of the whole revelation, he told you, “Whether air or water, any chemical, any liquid, whatever that is in a container must take the shape of that container.” So, we do not guess that the Godhead is like this or that.
Now, with what you had already photographed, you were the people that did it. Not one man nor two, but everywhere. Even without inviting Him, you decided to know Him more. He discerned the heart of every man who wanted to take His shot. Some attempted, but He blocked them.
Remember, in the beginning, He warned, “Print whatever you want to print and the number of copies you want to print from the Cloud. A day is coming when you will bring it out from the envelope and it will be blank.” Did it come to pass? You began to run helter-skelter.
When we published the Book and inscribed His photograph with the Cloud, He warned everybody that nobody should take the photograph of the heap of the Books because of that photograph.
All of them including Bishop Ebenezer who defied that instruction and took photographs of the heaps of the Books, did they capture anything? Not even a book appeared. All their films, blank. They reported themselves to Me, lying flat, weeping and crying.
Too many doubting Thomases have attempted getting My photograph, but all in vain, for you cannot get it until I want you to get it. And they began to call Me too many names. I am not a mystic, but even if I am, I am right to be a mystic.
Now, if you have the revelation that what is standing on the way is a masquerade because He is moving about; He is not ordinary rag or anything that is hung there that is making movements.
If you have that revelation, while coming before that masquerade, you know that He has already seen you and He may know who you are.
A masquerade that is standing on the way, making random movements, will you say it is a snake. You are sure and certain that there is something inside that masquerade.
And when you were approaching, you know that the masquerade had already seen you, you will not say that the masquerade had not seen you. The masquerade had seen you before ever you noticed the masquerade.
The masquerade knows that you are the one coming, but you do not know that person inside the masquerade. You only saw a masquerade standing on the way.
If we can put this wisdom from God into practice, if you are privileged anytime to come face to face with THE SON OF MAN, nobody will tell you what to do. You will understand that you are in the presence of a dual Personality and that you are in the presence of the Supreme Intelligence.
What makes the Intelligence Supreme? He alone decides to hide Himself in a human being so that he can have interactions with human beings and they still remain alive. If he never became a human being, you cannot see Him and know Him.
That is why anybody He wants to parcel home, He will show Him that Supernatural, knowing that you will never open your mouth to tell anybody. That is the end of your journey. You go home.
Any day you come face to face with Him, He will give you a hand shake or salute you. And you will salute Him back. That is where it ends. You can never open your mouth to share your experience with any human being because you are going down. You are going down.
If He spares you, you will tell people what you saw. So, he will take you down. You will either be crippled there or you go dumb or blind. Then, your body will be carried home. When you are taken home, you will be given the same treatment other people that saw Him received. Your treatment leads straight to the grave or mortuary, lest you tell people what you saw.
If He wants to be gracious to you, He will keep you in coma or He may keep you in between life and death, leaving you with a little sense so that you can describe the kind of things you now see, after which you die, for you will not remain alive after revealing those things.
If people did not go to General hospital, would there have been anybody that will know that there was somebody judging Elder Mike Nwanga? He was hearing it with his ears. He was mentioning names and pleading his case as he was talking.
But to show that he was conscious, when somebody reached out for the bag of money he was holding, he will tighten his grip on the bag. He will say, “Leave it there. Do not touch it. I am facing judgment with my LORD. I am facing judgment.”
He was sweating all over with his eyes tightly closed and he was going without food. This is a blind man. He had been blind before then. It was not as if he was blindfolded, but he was seeing something. He was equally describing his experiences.
That was why after observing them Christ asked them, “Who do people say I am. And you that have been following Me, who do you say I am.” I think He was answered. It has not been long that question was answered. It has not been long.
And the people that have answered the question are few. Only few have settled it through the Word and through diverse convincing manifestations that settled that one. Since the world began, who has ever manifested these things?
All these so-called Ministers of God, servants of God and clergymen, who has ever manifested any? That is why Prophet William Branham gave it in a Message, “THE MANIFESTED CHRIST OF ALL THE AGES.” The manifested Christ.
YouR problem is just that you do not tell yourselves the truth.You muddle things up.
Just like Bro Mike Nwangwu (Abuja Pastor) that came here. I condemn you not because it was not a missionary outing. You came for the construction of your house and also to stand with your brother as he buried his mother.
It was the same way the first time you came. You came down because of your house. You then asked him to follow you in the vehicle for you told him that you were going home. You came and went back also. He came down with you but abandoned you here and boarded another vehicle and went back. You planned it to be so. I condemn you not. It is all right.
Quite unlike Myself, I came because of the burial. I attached no other thing. This Opi? This burial? That is the reason why I came down here.

Who had a close insight into the hour? The Resurrected Body. Who is feeding us with this Truth? The Resurrected Body. Who has the ability to fish out criminals from amongst us? The Resurrected Body. Who has the Power to separate the sheep from the goat? The Resurrected Body. Who knows who is who in the Bride? The Resurrected Body. ……. Why not behave like The Son of Man. I never prepared My wife for one day. Rather, I helped her to know the Truth by subjecting her to lifestyles that were alien to her, to teachings that were unknown to her, aiming at getting her roughly grounded, knowing that I was making a far journey with her, so that her real colour must come out. I knew nothing about The Bridal Faith. I knew nothing about the End-time. BUT I WAS HIGHER THAN ALL THE PENTECOSTALS. I never wanted her to suffer the Pentecostal level because that was a rubbish level.

I AM THE RESURRECTED BODY [2]

Then, who am I to you? All these people that carried Me and threw Me into prison yard, do they know Who I am. Pray that you know Me. That’s all!

Go to your Bible and see what God said. If you want to boast, what do you boast of? [The Brethren chorused, “That you know God”] That you do what? Can you read it there in the Book of Jeremiah? You should boast that you do what? Know God and His principles of life. And that you are personally and practically acquainted with Him.
You are not far from Him. You can tell others about Him. You can even stop many people from coming to Him anyhow due to ignorance and stupidity and blindness.
The more I talk to you, the more I am dismissing the cold in your body, for the Word spoken by God is full of living power. After all I can see the rays of the sun to show you that the burial is over.
This is just the same way I did it at Mbaise. Saturday morning, I told you all to go home, for I have finished everything about My wife’s burial. Sunday morning, I was at Onitsha rejoicing with the Brethren, thanking and appreciating them for their support. And everywhere illuminated again.
Jeremiah 9:23-24, Living Bible.^[23]The Lord says: Let not the wise man bask in his wisdom, nor the mighty man in his might, nor the rich man in his riches. ^[24]Let them boast in this alone: That they truly know me, and understand that I am the Lord of justice and of righteousness whose love is steadfast; and that I love to be this way.
The Message Bible.^23-24“Don’t let the wise brag of their wisdom.
Don’t let heroes brag of their exploits.
Don’t let the rich brag of their riches.
If you brag, brag of this and this only:
That you understand and know me. I’m God, and I act in loyal love.
I do what’s right and set things right and fair, and delight in those who do the same things. These are my trademarks.” God’s Decree. This one is even better. Nothing can be truer than the truth. There is one that says you must be practically and personally acquainted with Me.
Amplified Version ²³Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions…Temporal satisfaction that will end when we leave the scene. …and earthly] riches;
²⁴But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically,… Personally and also practically.
…directly discerning and recognizing My character],… discerning and recognizing My character. …that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord. AMP
For in these things, I delight. And I delight Myself in the people that behave the same way I behave. If you behave the same way I behave, you are mine. And you cannot behave the way I behave if you do not have the spirit that is in Me.
So let the spirit that is in Christ be in you. At all times, you will be able to discern what is the good, proper and the acceptable and perfect will of God so that when you are making your choices of life and the God you will worship, choices of character, you will be very very careful that you do not make the choice that will clash with God’s stipulation; God’s decree.
Is it not one of our problems? The ways of man has always been clashing with the ways of God. And man can only be saved any day his ways agree with the ways of God. Man has always been on the opposing side of God and in disagreement with God simply because some of them do not believe that God exists.
Now, to you that have been chosen for salvation, foreordained, predestinated to be sons and daughters of God, He manifested Himself to you, convincing you that He is real and that He exists.
For whoever that will come to God will first of all, be sure and certain that He exists and that He is. He is not imaginary.
Before you came into contact with the son of man, you were worshipping imaginary gods. And it is only through THE SON OF MAN that God became real and visible to all the Elect.
It is because of the Elect that I removed My veil. The veil was torn into two. Every man now has access to Him—to the Deity, if you will; if you want—whosoever.
Do not tomorrow, begin to blame God. Blame yourself, for He has brought salvation nearest to your doorstep. This is what God has done.
All who went to Nsukka with Me recorded some things for memorial.
Hebrews 4:12, Living Bible. ^[12]For whatever God says to us is full of living power: it is sharper than the sharpest dagger, cutting swift and deep into our innermost thoughts and desires with all their parts, exposing us for what we really are.
^[13]He knows about everyone, everywhere. … He does what?He knows about everyone, everywhere. … So, you can run but you can never hide. Jeremiah 23:24” Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the LORD. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the LORDNIV.
Psalms 139:1-12 You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. NIV
… Everything about us…Everything about you and I …is bare and wide open to the all-seeing eyes of our living God;… Not dead one o! Living Juju. nothing can be hidden from him to whom we must explain all that we have done. LB
Does it contradict the Gospel according to John Chapter 5 verse 22 through 24? Read it again and let us see. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life KJV. Does it contradict Ecclesiastes Chapter 12:13-14 which says that you must give account sometime someday. Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including very hidden thing, whether it is good or evil NIV.
Go to the Message, REMEMBER YOUR REWARD Part 1 [Preached on Wednesday, 17^th April 2019 at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe] and Part 2 Volumes 1 & 2 [Preached on Sunday 21^st April 2019 at GTC Onitsha] Remember your reward.
You will be rewarded with what you have done. Revelation 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done, English Standard Version (ESV). If someone is rewarded according as his works, was evil done to him? Whether good or bad, you will not take My own and I will not take your own. “This is your result. Take!”
It is just like in the school. No matter how you trick yourself thinking you are tricking the school, at the end of the day, you will be given your certificates where all you laboured for; all you spent your money for and all you spent your time for, that is the end product. “My dear, take your certificate.”
Some will not even be given any, which means they wasted their time, wasted their money, wasted their efforts and everything! A regrettable ordeal.
Who will like to be disappointed in the end that you will be told that you have run this race in vain? Who would like to be told that all his labour were in vain? This is because the end will justify all things. Whether you be of God or of the devil, the end is here right now.
Who is talking to you then? Do you know the Personality that is talking to you? Are you sure you know Him? Why is He telling you all these things? He does not want you to have any problem. If he wants you to have problem, He would not talk to you. When He sees you, He will go His way. All He is bypassing, are they not human beings?
Does the quantity of palm wine not decrease when the tapper comes into contact with a friend? Is it not true?
He saw others and continued on His way, but he saw you and stopped. Can’t you stop and think? Others prayed and pleaded, but could not get what they were asking for, but you prayed and got what you asked for. Can’t you stop and think? Did you bribe Him? May God help us.
John 5:22-27, Living Bible.^[22]And the Father leaves all judgment of sin to his Son, ^[23]so that everyone will honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. But if you refuse to honour God’s Son, whom he sent to you, then you are certainly not honouring the Father. ^[24]“I say emphatically that anyone who listens to my message and believes in God who sent me has eternal life, and will never be damned for his sins, but has already passed out of death into life.
But whosoever does the contrary has already declared his eternal everlasting obituary. No U-turn.
^[25]“And I solemnly declare that the time is coming, in fact, it is here, when the dead shall hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God—and those who listen shall live.
Were we not told in last Sunday’s Message that this is where we are? Is there any other thing left? It shall be one day known unto the LORD. Who is that LORD? Who is holding it?
That was what killed Martha. She was waiting for the last day when the heaven will fall and the whirl wind will blow and everywhere will be covered by thick darkness, and then the sun and the moon will fall down from their positions. And then she will be looking everywhere to find where they landed, asking, “When did these things happen?”
William Braham said, “The whole thing will happen, and those professors of Theology will begin to ask, “Is it not said of old? Is it not written in the Bible that so so and so will happen before that day? Why is it that he has decided to do the thing without allowing those things to come to pass?”” They will begin to run helter-skelter, beating their chest in regret.
God’s meaning is never of the sky. God never attached anything He is going to do to the sky. Rather, He attached the sky to human beings, “You look at the sky, you predict the weather and it will happen. But the hour you are in, you cannot predict.”
God does not forecast weather. God creates His own weather.
It was hot when we came to Opi. We were sweating profusely. I mean on Thursday afternoon when we drove in here. When we got to the hotel, in spite of everything, we were sweating profusely. Everywhere remained hot.
We rushed out of that place. God making the nest very uncomfortable because he wants his operational base to be established fully because of the power He is going to encounter.
What you saw was what your eyes could behold, but there were things which your eyes did not see. What the eyes did not see were many.
Hell was let loose because of this burial. From the preparation, people knew that it is not something that will just be overlooked like that. What I am telling you is the truth.
This is because they were anticipating One Who will reign supreme above us. There is no type of preaching that was not done here in Opi discouraging people from coming for this burial. I monitored everything.
[The LORD spoke to Deacon Chimaobi] You live here in Opi. There was nothing that was not said. Even the Anglicans were later told that we were coming to dominate in the burial and that we will take the corpse away from them as if we are struggling for the dead. I monitored everything because My satellite was beaming.
When Bro Onyema came, I held him outside for over fifteen minutes for not informing Me before coming. And if not for Wisdom, who I was waiting for, He would have missed Me. That was why I went back.
Then I rebuked him. I kept rebuking him. I even brought him into the house and told him that Opi people will see what they are looking for. And immediately I said it, the rain came down.
He made a call and the people at Opi told him that it is equally raining at Opi. I then told him that it will rain everywhere, for I am angry. I am angry. I told him that they should pray that I will not use rain to scatter them so that you will be like Sister Egbuna.
Sister Egbuna has become a reference point for I warned her and said, “Sister Egbuna, if you and your husband know that thing which I will be chewing while I am here, bring it to Me. You called Me to help you hold the rain. And I left My house to be in your own house. The ceremony was going on and they were serving the whole world, abandoning Me. Ok, Tony! You and your wife will see something. Deacon Vin! Everyone should go back to wherever he or she came from. Go and turn the car for Me. Have you seen all these canopies? I am going to tear all of them into pieces.”
There was no cloud in the sky. There was no sign of an impending rain. Nothing! The sun was shining. I raised My eyes towards the sky and told everybody to enter his vehicle and go back to wherever they came from, for all the guests will soon run away, “I am removing all these canopies now. I will scatter everybody.”
They thought I was joking. Sister set it at naught. The people that understood what I said were Pastor Dan and Deacon Vin, and they stood up immediately.
A strong wind came and became very stormy, carrying canopies and flinging them in different directions. Everybody scampered for safety. From nowhere, the rain came as a heavy downpour. It was not a small rainfall. It was not a small rainfall. It was raining along with a strong wind storm.
The next thing we heard was, “Oh! Daddy please! Daddy, we have put your food in the vehicle.” By then it was already late. I told them that it is already late. I have already sent down the rain. You need to see the torrential rainfall. All the big gutters were filled to the brim.
Upon all the food Sister prepared, everybody scampered away. Ah ah! If you keep quiet, things will get out of hand. From that day, before anything, Sister will bring a plate before Me, “My Daddy, Please I am here already o.” Yes now!
Are we not experiencing the sunshine now? You will run from the sun in the afternoon. You will run from the sun. When we came out looking for where we will worship God, I said it should be here. In spite of the cold, stay here. I knew that it must clear. I know that very well that today, we shall use hand fans.
Man does not know where his problem comes from. You will be querying whether this is the same place where we were seated yesterday clad in sweaters. You will pull off all your sweaters today.
So, what am I trying to say? Let us go back to the Message. We must give account to Somebody. And the LORD said it is going to be a Man, not men. He showed the supernatural sign by bringing Him back to life.
Who introduced Himself as the Resurrected Body? Is He not the One? Who walked in your midst that you heard His footprints, and touched many of you? Some testified that He pulled their dress. He pulled some by their belt. He touched the mouth of some, but when they looked around, they did not see anybody.
He then told you to come the next Sunday [7^th April 1996] with your cameras to see He that has been having dealings with you all these years.
Were you given everything at the same time? You are given one and then you wait. But before then, too many things have been happening. All pointing to the arrival of The Elohim in the midst of His people.
^[26]The Father has life in himself, and has granted his Son to have life in himself, ^[27]and to judge the sins of all mankind because he is the Son of Man.^[28]Don’t be so surprised! Indeed the time is coming when all the dead in their graves shall hear the voice of God’s Son,^[29]and shall rise again—those who have done good, to eternal life; and those who have continued in evil, to judgment. That’s all. That’s all.
Look at Revelation 21:3. It was a prophecy. It was a prophecy on the Island of Patmos. Is it not true? But blessed are those that will hear the words of this prophecy and obey them, for it was a prophetic statement then.
^[3]I heard a loud shout from the throne saying, “Look, the home of God is now among men, and he will live with them and they will be his people; yes, God himself will be among them.
Who? God Himself. It was a Prophecy, but today, the world may not know it because He has appeared to the people who were of old predestinated for these last days’ revelation, not for everybody. 1 Corinthians 15:1-9 And now I want to remind you, my friends, of the Good News which I preached to you, which you received, and on which your faith stands firm. 2 That is the gospel, the message that I preached to you. You are saved by the gospel if you hold firmly to it—unless it was for nothing that you believed. I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures; 4 that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures; 5 that he appeared to Peter and then to all twelve apostles. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at once, most of whom are still alive, although some have died. 7 Then he appeared to James, and afterward to all the apostles. Last of all he appeared also to me—even though I am like someone whose birth was abnormal.[a] 9 For I am the least of all the apostles—I do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted God’s church GNT.
That is why He said He should never make any noise on the street. Reference: Isaiah 42:3.He will not cry or shout aloud or cause His voice to be heard in the street. AMP
You heard what the people were saying yesterday, with everyman in his own way. Somebody was saying that a man was hidden in the bush who is causing this trouble.
He came along with our friend from Port Harcourt who then told him that he has not seen anything, and argument ensued. He insisted that there is Somebody here.
The man claiming that there is someone hidden in the bush said that he believes that there is someone around, but that he is not within but where he is hidden is somewhere in the bush.
He is inside the bush from where he is acting. He came to Opi. He came to Opi. He is in the bush.
That is to tell you the level of preparedness they made, and God absorbed all to the astonishment of everybody.
After My departure, you will begin to hear about Me and what happened here. It must be noised abroad. People must open their mouths wide and proclaim that the God Bishop Chidubem worships is the true God. It must come out from their mouths, for no man can do this if God is not with him.
I am not talking about the miracle that happened with the food. At a time, I had to go to the backyard and meet the people that were working there. I commanded them to be opening all the coolers.
Each one I told them to open, they will open until all the coolers were opened. I told them that we have conquered and that they should close them again. I instructed them, “Give food to everybody. Give them drinks also.” Were you one of those that were at the backyard? [A Brother answered, “Yes sir”]
I told them that I want to see what is there and they were opening the coolers. That was when people had started leaving the arena.
I opened all of them and dipped my hand and took a bottle of water and instructed to close the coolers again, “Keep sharing the food. Do not look at the quantity. Keep sharing the food unless for the person that does not want to eat. Share the drinks. We will still have remnants to take back home. We will go home with some food. Do not look at the pots.”
We are aware of our encounters with God. We worship God because of Who He is.

I have already taught you in this Faith that if a man is going somewhere and he discovers he has made a mistake—he’s taking the wrong way—he shouldn’t continue moving, because the more he continues moving, the more he’s straying away in the wrong. What he should do is to go back, go back to the origin, enquire about the right way, and then change his direction.

THE SON OF MAN

AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS Volume 2; Preached on 24th December, 2000 at Onitsha; Pg. 13 vs. 3

GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD

Now that we have thrown all these challenges, Hebrews 12 from verse 1. We have come, and we are preparing to go back. Both those that are going back to their stations and those that are going to remain behind, like Bro Chimaobi, we have now thrown a challenge.

^[1]Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up;…
To the extent that when we try to disengage ourselves, it will be difficult, simply because we made a wrong choice by choosing to live a life God had already said no. Even if God did not say no, but you notice that such life will be detrimental to your future, you dare not try it.
This is because once it gets grip of you, to break loose is impossible. While others are moving forward, you will be marking time. And you will remain marking time until you are trapped.
If you are not running when others are running, you must be left behind. So, try to keep pace with the Faith, especially now that you are now your own preacher and your own overseer.
Begin this very morning to organize yourself in the fear and admonition of the LORD, for you are now gripping your life. You know nobody is watching over you but you. The next is the Almighty God. You are now living your independent life, free from disturbance by any Brother or Sister.
Is it a license to live in unbelief? Is it a license for compromise? You are living that life because you have decided to live that way, not that you do not know the truth. True or false? But remember, there is an All-seeing eye watching you. You can run but you cannot hide, for everything about you is bare and naked before the eyes of the Almighty God where you are going to give account of all you have done.
^[1]Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly…
Especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around us that when we try to loose grip of them, we could not do it.
THERE IS NO HABIT THAT IS UNBREAKABLE. IT IS A MATTER OF TAKING STRONG DECISION ACCORDING TO THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD. WHEN YOU ARE OUT TO DO THE WILL OF GOD, HE GIVES YOU A HELPING HAND. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
GOD DOES NOT HELP ANYBODY WHO IS LAZY. DO NOT TAKE A LAZY DECISION, A LAZY MAN’S DECISION OR WEAK DECISION. IN THESE KINDS OF DECISION, GOD CANNOT HELP ANYBODY THERE.
GOD KNOWS WHEN YOUR HEART IS BROKEN BECAUSE OF YOUR INIQUITY. YOU TEAR YOUR HEART AND NOT YOUR DRESSES. OFTEN TIMES, YOU HATE YOURSELF. YOU FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE THAT SUCH THING SHOULD BE MENTIONED AROUND YOU AT THIS VERY POINT IN TIME WHEN OTHERS ARE PREPARING SERIOUSLY TO MAKE THEMSELVES READY. GOD CANNOT MAKE YOU READY. RATHER, YOU MAKE YOURSELF READY.
BRO MIKE (THE PASTOR), I TOLD YOU THIS LAST NIGHT. ANYBODY WHO IS MAKING A TRIP IS THE ONE WHO WILL PREPARE HIMSELF FOR THAT TRIP, WAITING FOR THE TIME OF DEPARTURE. GOOD!
THE ALMIGHTY GOD CANNOT MAKE YOU READY. HE HAS GIVEN YOU ALL THAT YOU NEED, AND THEN TOLD YOU, “GET READY! GET READY!” SO THAT WHETHER IT IS BY DAY OR BY NIGHT, NO MATTER THE TIME, YOU ARE READY. WHEN YOU HEAR, “LET US MOVE”, YOU FOLLOW.
…let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.
Let us run with what? Patience. The particular race. We sing it in a song.
Igbo SONG: [Uphold me, O SON OF MAN uphold me. Uphold me, Creator of the heaven and the earth uphold me. In this race which I am in and the victory over the world, give me the strength at all times that I fall not away.]
^[2]Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross…
So, you now have a Master Who is alive forevermore, Who promised to be with us even till the end of the world. What is He doing in our day? He only changed His mask. He remaineth the same. No more. No less.
Why did He change His mask? To rig away all human intellect, and then humiliate His detractors—His enemies. They are astonished that the Man they thought has vanished into oblivion is still here.
And those who had walked and talked with Him have rallied round, for they were with Him and He forced them down here. Now, He is forcing them back. He forced them down here contrary to their wish. He is forcing them back again.
Because they proceeded from heaven, they are going back to heaven and to their former estate. So, if you happen to be in the number, I do not need to tell you to be ready, for He that is sent to come and take you to Himself is already with you.
“I am going away. I will be back to take you to Myself, that wherever I am, there you will be also.” Now that He has arrived; I mean, the executor has arrived. The moment the executioner arrives at the prison, all that were earmarked for execution will know that their time is up.
Their time is up, for the executioner will not go back until he has executed all of them. Do you think I am going back again? I am going back after concluding and finishing everything. What will be ushered in there will be an everlasting righteousness.
The kingdom of this world must be turned over to the Kingdom of God and His dear children. Whether the world believes it or not, I have arrived to live among My people.
Who are My people? That is where the question arises. Who is My Brother? Who is My Sister? Who are My people?
Anyone who will hear My Word, obey My Word and live according to the standard of My Word is My Brother. SHe is My Sister. they are my people. Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven [by believing in Me, and following Me] is My brother and sister and mother.” AMP
PSALMS 119:63I am a companion of all those who fear, revere, and worship You, and of those who observe and give heed to Your precepts AMP. Anyone is my brother who fears and trusts the Lord and obeys him LB. Luke 8:19-21 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.” NIV
So, you look up to him Who is the Masterpiece and Who is in youR midst, for only His nature is what will be there. Your only ticket to Paradise is that nature.
And here, you begin to live your life so that he can even say to you, “Well done!” Is it not Scriptural? 2 Timothy 2:15 Work hard so God can say to you, “Well done.” Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when God examines your work. Know what his Word says and means LB.
Reference: Matthew 25:21.His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honourable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the blessedness) which your master enjoys. AMP
YOU SHOULD CONDUCT YOUR LIFE IN A MANNER THAT GOD WILL SAY TO YOU, “WELL DONE MY CHILD. WELL DONE!” IF GOD IS NOT PLEASED WITH LIVING WITH YOU HERE [I MEAN], FORGET ABOUT IT.
IF YOUR COMING CLOSER TO HIM DOES NOT GIVE HIM JOY; IT DOES NOT GIVE HIM PEACE; YOU ARE ALWAYS QUARRELLING WITH HIM, AND HE IS ALWAYS WARNING YOU, IT IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD SO THAT YOU CAN CHANGE. FIND OUT WHY HE IS BANNING YOU FROM CALLING HIS LINE.
IF YOU RESORT TO WRITING, YOU MAKE MATTERS WORSE, FOR HE WILL IGNORE ALL YOUR WRITE-UPS. THE EASIEST THING TO IGNORE IS A WRITE-UP. IT IS EASIER TO IGNORE A DOCUMENT THAN TO IGNORE A VERBAL REQUEST. IT IS EASIER FOR ME TO IGNORE LENGTHY WRITINGS THAN TO IGNORE PICKING YOUR CALL.
BUT IF I BAN YOU FROM CALLING MY LINE, I HAVE SEVERED COMMUNICATION WITH YOU. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO GO BACK AND FIND OUT WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.
GO BACK TO THE MESSAGE I HANDLED YESTERDAY. IT SAID, “ALL OF YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. START ALL OVER! AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF HOW GOD PUTS PEOPLE IN RIGHT STANDING WITH HIMSELF. ONLY THERE AND THEN CAN YOU CREATE A RELATIONSHIP.” THANK YOU!
because of the joy he knew would be his afterwards; and now he sits in the place of honour by the throne of God.
