⁵And from Jesus Christ the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead [first to be brought back to life] and the Prince (Ruler) of the kings of the earth. To Him Who ever loves us and has once [for all] loosed and freed us from our sins by His own blood, ⁶And formed us into a kingdom (a royal race), priests to His God and Father–to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion throughout the ages and forever and ever. Amen (so be it).⁷Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall gaze upon Him and beat their breasts and mourn and lament over Him. Even so [must it be]. Amen (so be it). ⁸I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord God, He Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all).

REVELATION 1:5 – 8, Amplified version

INTRODUCTION

PRAYER

So many countries in the North African zone have started experiencing it. Some states in Nigeria have started experiencing it.
Father, You told us these things in 2018: the different ways You will visit nations by Your judgment before the D-day, the day You slated to put an end to human rebellion.
You said we are going to get our own share of those sufferings, but we shall never be the worst hit. You said that in the midst of the trouble when it has become unbearable to us, that it is that time that You will transform our mortal bodies and we put on immortality – indestructible estate wherein O God we shall stay and watch the entire human race ravaged by fire from the face of the Almighty Whom they have blasphemed, ridiculed, scoffed at and mocked at all these years because of the blindness of their hearts.
Father, we bow before You tonight and say as we see all these things coming to pass, “Save us from this hour.”
We could gaze at the cloud and predict that it will rain, and it will rain. We gaze at the cloud and we predict that it will be sunshine, and it will be.
But unfortunately, O God, a good number of us cannot, through events of the hour, predict exactly the hour we are in and what it calls for.
Hence, if we are not careful, the D-day will take us [Father] by surprise. LORD, we pray Thee, as many as are waiting [Father] for the whole translation of our mortal bodies according to Thy promise– as many as are watching and waiting unto prayer, watching Your Word as You fulfill Your promise on a daily basis, Father divine, give them a helping hand unto the end.
Those that are asleep, forgetting the hour we are in, Father, please wake them up this hour. Those that have given themselves over to merriments and to party spirit, eating and drinking, Father, wherever they are, help them to understand that that is not what the hour calls for.
This hour calls for sober reflections. It calls for pausing and thinking. It calls for self-reexamination and self-assessment to know whether we are holding on to the profession of our Faith or we have slipped off ignorantly and are still fooling ourselves.
Father divine, tonight, a Word from You is enough to open our eyes of understanding more; to illuminate our hearts the more and to help us to understand what the hour calls for.
We bend low before You and say, “Father divine, have Your way in our lives. Have your way in the life of every Elect of God. Have Your way in every family that is called by Your Name. May You never permit us to have our ways, for we have had it enough, and it never yielded any dividend. It never helped us one bit.”
We have seen, O God, the economies of all countries collapse, means of livelihood collapse and means of academic enlightenment collapse. The money has collapsed. Unemployment now reigns everywhere.
Father, what else do we do than to come to You? For You are the only Way we have noticed; the only Way we are sure that will never disappoint. Be our sure anchor at a time like this and even unto eternity.
Remain O God, our indestructible asylum. We hide ourselves under you, the Rock of Ages, and we plead solemnly and reverently that You cleft for us for the help of man is vain. We cannot help ourselves.
There is nothing in this life and in the life to come that will help us if not You. If You do not save, who will save? If You do not secure, who will secure? Definitely nobody. If You do not bless, who will bless? Definitely nobody.
We therefore plead with you. Be our defense. Speak for us. Stand in for us. Father divine, You said that the battle does not belong to us, but it belongs to You. You are Jehovah Nissi – Jehovah man of war. The battle is Yours.
Fight this battle for Your people as You did in time past. When they were coming from Egypt to Canaan, You were going in front, fighting the wars and chasing away their enemies as they marched on.
This time around, Father, go before us. Make a way for us where there is no way. Chase away, O God, all the enemies, Father, as we advance until You gently lead us by Your mighty and outstretched arms and settle all of us that are called by Your Name in Your divine Kingdom in Paradise. Do not relent.
We read it from the Scriptures this day and You have already proclaimed it to our hearing, “Fear not little flock, for it is Your Father’s good pleasure to give you His Kingdom.”
Father, there we rest our case that the promised Kingdom belongs to us. Whatever might be our iniquities and transgressions that are likely to hinder us from possessing that promise, this night Father, blot all of them out completely.
Put all of them in Your own ocean of forgetfulness where You remember them no more against your children. Hold no guilt against any. Father, do not allow the devil to accuse any. Even if he does, reject all those accusations.
To Your Name alone we give the glory as we pray that You surround this environment – this Fellowship with Your supernatural presence. Let the Pillar of Cloud envelop us; and envelop every family and every individual, Father, globally wherever they are right now calling upon Your Name. Envelop them with the supernatural Cloud.
Let the Deity, O God, exercise His influence over every flesh that is called by Your Name.
To Your glory, honour, praise, adoration– Father, we give the whole thanks. As we believe You have answered our prayers, speak and we are going to hear. We Promise that we must obey.
Thank You for answering our prayers, for Your Name’s sake, we pray. Amen.

We thank God for what He is doing in our day, more especially the appearance of THE SON OF MAN. The Son of Man has appeared but He will not take us home immediately for He has a work to do. Maybe we do not know the meaning of the Son of Man; I say may be! If we know the meaning of Son of Man, then we can now look for His Ministry. Believe it if you can, the Son of Man has a Ministry. The Bible said, “God judgeth no man, but has committed judgment into the hands of His Dear Son, the Son of Man. Thus, Christ, the Son of Man forgives all manner of sins, that it might be known and believed that the Son of Man has the power to forgive all sins.” In the Ministry of the Son of Man, when He appears on the scene, the Bible said that He is

CONFESS AND FORSAKE YOUR SIN

Is there any Bible here? Let us read Zechariah chapter two verse thirteen. If you see, read. Any translation is good for us.

Are you making tapes? It is good You make tapes. I have told you time without number that once you see Me either in your family altar or here, make sure you place your tape because a Word is enough to help us.
Even the prayer is enough. Somebody somewhere needs this prayer. We do not know how to pray. If God Himself will pray for us, we ought to have that prayer in our tapes and listen to the prayers which He made for us.
The LORD Jesus before he left the scene prayed. I am going to read His prayer so that you do not joke with his prayers, for he is still here with us tonight, but in another name.
If you do not know his last prayers, we call it the benediction, we call it the benediction, you are lost. You are completely lost. So, do not ever joke with His prayers. He started with prayers, and He ended with prayers.
GNB. Be silent, everyone, in the presence of the LORD, for He is coming from His holy dwelling place.
So, God has a holy dwelling place. If you know the dwelling place of God where God is tabernacling, you have to observe that silence, but today, many are ignorant of this.
That is why, when He is talking, you still have the boldness to talk. Some even answer Him back. And to them, it is nothing.
I thank God this afternoon that I could use Chiemelie to help Me in the reading of too many things today. Confessions. Horrible confessions coming from people that do not want to perish.
Since they are not ashamed of making these confessions public, and I will post all of them viral, how do you think that God will not forgive them? He is a merciful Father. He must forgive them since they are not ashamed of disclosing the ways they have offended God, even disclosing to all of us their private dealings.
But there are too many people that are covering their own. I hope you are hearing Me. Many of them that wrote did that with a vow. You see them and you are reading them in your phones. They may be better than you.
Look at Proverbs 28:13. Anyone I quote, read. Everybody is involved. Remember we are making tapes. Do not allow My Voice to be louder than your own because you are still a young man.
Proverbs 28:13, KJV.He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
That’s all! If you cover up your sins, you will never receive mercy from God. And you will never prosper. But when you confess your sin and forsake it, you receive mercy from the LORD.
Watch all you have been reading from your handsets. They are individuals. They are human beings from among us. They are not ashamed of making their confessions public to go round the whole world so that God will show them mercy.
And they have vowed before the whole world that they will never go that way again.
But when you say because of pride and because of shame, you cover your own up, keep it to yourself. God is not interested.
Look at these people. God has already extended His mercy, His pardon and His forgiveness to them.
There was one I read upstairs before coming down here. It was very pathetic and in too many pages. It came from a lady – a woman, disclosing things even human beings cannot disclose.
If God is not helping you, there are too many things about your life you dare not let another person know. True or false?
This is because a human being who is not willing to be saved is an expert in keeping unnecessary secrets. And that thing which you call secret shall be made open tomorrow. Whether you like it or not, events will open it.
The moment your conscience is not good, you know you have sinned. You know you are not acting in agreement with the Word of God you received. You know that there is no Scripture or doctrine you can use to defend your action. Automatically, you are guilty.
That is why God said that we must take defensible steps in all we do. Take defensive actions. Any action you are taking; anything you are doing; any word that is proceeding out of your mouth; any reaction which you cannot defend using the doctrines of Christ you have received which you do not have the permission given to you by the teachings, that action is devilish.
It is a defensible action because the Word of God permits it, which is the message we have received. The Message of the hour. It permits it. It guarantees it. you are acting in agreement with the faith.
ACTION IS FAITH EXPRESSED, Preached on Sunday 18^th December 2011 at the Household of God, Onitsha by THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena. “Concerning actions, God said, “If you must take any action on any matter, take a defensible action.
ANY ACTION THAT IS NOT DEFENSIBLE BY YOUR FAITH IS ACTION TAKEN IN ERROR”. If your action is not backed up by your Faith, you are in error. It is not a defensible action.”
Let Me use one example. I was with our pastor one day and something took place. I told him to call that Sister that was involved in that thing.
He called and the Sister boldly admitted from her station, “Sir, without any iota of fear or favour, I want to tell you the whole truth. As you heard it, so it is. Yes! I am not discussing marriage. We are not discussing marriage.
We are in a relationship. It is a relationship between us. And he is a Brother and I am a Sister in the Faith. So I believe it is proper because our Faith guarantees it. If it changes tomorrow and becomes marriage, praise be to God. If it does not turn out to be marriage, I will still marry and he will still marry.
So that is all I want to say there. That’s all. Living together? No! We are not living together. I am on my own. I am doing my work. And he is doing his work. Thank you sir. Any other thing?”
Pastor said, “You have answered correctly.” I was there. I took the phone from the Pastor. I said, “Give Me that phone.”
Then to the Sister he called, I said, “My dear, I never knew you could be bold enough to make this declaration. I appreciate you from now. Keep it up.” Then I switched off.
Nobody has ever been killed for speaking the truth. And look at how bold she was. Not minding whether people were around the Pastor or not, she declared her stand.
And being THE SON OF MAN, I was there. I know she is 100% right. The Pastor equally knows she is 100% right. Nobody could talk again.
That is why you can act in obedience to the Word of God and your conscience will not prick you. You have the boldness because your action and everything are all in agreement with the teachings. And that is, if you are called to question.
But there is no way you can be called to question when you are doing the right thing. But when you are doing the wrong thing, you must be called to question. True or false?
We did not call her to question, but something prompted the enquiry. And that is marriage. We wanted to know whether she had given her hand to a Brother in marriage having known her with a Brother for some time now. It is not that somebody was gossiping with her. No! Nobody.
She was recommended and we wanted to know. And finally, she concluded and said, “For now, I do not want to engage myself in anything marriage. There are too many things I have to accomplish before marriage. At my present status, I do not want to give myself in marriage to a man because I would not want to live in a man’s house as a wife and be a burden. I will like to have something handy which I will be doing to support my husband so that our family will be calm.”
You see! I have given us the full text right now. By that, the chapter got closed. We removed our eyes from that side. Now, we diverted to another side. Watch the way I presented it. That was how she presented it.
Now, all these people that are writing about their lives and about their characters, making the confession, pleas, and apologies for forgiveness, “Please, Daddy, we have erred. We went contrary. All these years, look at what I have been manifesting. But now, we have turned to God. We have turned to God. As we thought on our ways, we now turn back to God. Please forgive us. We are promising we will never go that way anymore. We have learnt our lessons.”
Why would God not forgive them? It is when you enter the temple just like the Pharisees entered the temple, the Pharisee was there who justified himself that he is a Pharisee who knows the one that is small sin and the one that is bigger sin.
When he entered, he saw another person who was also there. That man there was beating his chest while praying. He was crying and weeping and saying, “God, if You can show mercy on Me– I need Your pity God. I have done great evil before you. I have done this and I have done that.” He began to talk many many things he has done contrary to the will of God.
While he was crying, the man who came in to pray in the temple, instead of kneeling down to pray, he paused and was focusing his ears on the confessions of the man who was kneeling down and crying with a broken heart.
When he knelt down at last, the Bible said he started his own prayer this way: “Thank God I am not a big sinner like this man. Oh! So this man is a sinner. We thought he is a very good man. So this man committed all these atrocities he is confessing. Praise be to God, I am not like him. My way is simple. My own is small.”
The Bible said that at the end of day the man who committed the greatest crime received pardon, but the other one who was laughing at him, justifying himself that he is better than that man, left the temple with condemnation. He left with condemnation. This is why I am not ashamed of confessing My sin before God.
Jesus gave us one illustration. He said that one man owed a great debt he could not pay. He owed billions and billions of naira he could not pay. He never had any property he could sell to get money.
And then, there was one who owed a little debt. Just a very small amount of money he owed his neighbour.
The Bible said, “One day, the man who owed great debt was privileged to see the man he owed – the creditor” He is the debtor. The other one he was owing is the creditor.
So when he came, he saw the way the man [debtor] was feeling the pains for not paying back the money he borrowed, for he never had anything with which to pay. He wants to pay, but there was no money to pay. If he had property, he would have sold, but he does not have.
Then when the man [creditor] came to collect his money, that man [debtor] never had any money. He examined the debtor from head to toe. He knew he never had the capacity to pay and he had a great debt. He borrowed money that he could not pay.
The Bible said that to the debtor’s surprise, the creditor said. “Man, I know you are passing sleepless nights because of this debt you owe me all this while. I am equally aware that you are poor. You have nothing you can sell to pay me this debt. If I allow you till the next world, you may not raise the money to pay me.
Now, I declare you pardoned. I have written off your bill. From this hour, this very moment, you are not owing me a kobo again. Have your freedom. Go and praise God. Worship God. Do not ever remember you owed me any debt. From now, you do not owe me a kobo. I have cancelled your debt.”
Then he turned to the one owed a smaller amount and said, “Man, I know you are equally owing me, but I know your own is a little amount. If I can forgive this man and say, ‘Let him go’, in the same manner also, I have cancelled your own. From this afternoon, you do not owe me anything again. Regain your freedom from debt. Give glory to God and then worship God freely.”
The LORD Jesus asked us a question, “The man who was owing a very mighty debt he could not pay, and this one who owed a little amount, both were forgiven and set free. WHO WILL SHOW THE GREATER GRATITUDE? Who will show the greater gratitude for his debt that was cancelled? Is it the man who owed the bigger debt or the one that owed a smaller debt?
[The Brethren answered, “The one that owed the bigger debt.”]
The man that owed bigger debt. The LORD Jesus told his disciples, “You have answered very well.” You have answered very well.
When saint Paul was interpreting it, he said, “Where sin abounds, Grace abounds more and more.” But he turned again and asked, “Shall we continue to sin that Grace may abound.” He said, “God forbid.”
Now, will that man go and continue borrowing money again, hoping that it will be cancelled? He will be a stupid man to do that. He has been set free. He should borrow no more. It is applicable to the one whose debt was small.
Any lesson to learn there? Any lesson to learn there? Provided you come to God with a willing heart; with a good heart and a sincere confession, a sincere confession, a sincere change of mind, and a sincere change of attitude, no matter how great that sin might be, I assure you, the Almighty will forgive it.
This is because the heart is willing to stop and willing to turn away from wickedness to righteousness, never to go back to that evil again.
Take note of what I am saying.

Note that Word, “That ye may know that the Son of Man hath the power to forgive sin on Earth.” Son of Man is Son of Man. He is the Anointed One of God in every Age. He has the power to forgive sin. Thus, whatever He has forgiven is forgiven. By revelation, you can follow this Faith to Paradise, but the blindness in your heart is becoming too much because of little little things that will perish with the user. I am saying that the Justifier of the Gentiles is already on the scene. The Gentiles need no other Justifier but Me. I am not making a

Let us be silent before the lord

Iread that Scripture Zechariah 2:13. Read it again. Let the entire human race, the heaven and the earth stand silent. Stand still.

KJV. Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord:… All flesh means all human beings. …for He is raised up out of His holy habitation.
He has risen up from His holy dwelling place. God has a dwelling place in every generation. True or false? Is there anybody who is in the Bridal Ministry or the Bridal Faith – the Faith of Christ – who does not know God’s dwelling place?
If by this night, you have not been acquainted with God’s dwelling place, God’s Temple and God’s Tabernacle—you do not know where He is and where He is resting, oh no! you are lost. Completely lost. If you have any doubt as to whether that could be the place of His habitation, you are lost. Completely lost.
That His habitation can only provide you asylum when you have believed in that habitation, doubting nothing.
This is because doubt is both a visible and invisible sign of unbelief. Doubt takes place in your heart. You might be giving the impression that you are with us when you are not with us. So whatever that is making you to doubt it has already put you out of God’s salvation.
GNB. Be silent, everyone, in the presence of the LORD, for He is coming from His holy dwelling place. Amen.
So, God has His holy dwelling place. Nobody is holy. No human being is holy, but God alone is holy. Then when the holy God dwells in a man, that man becomes holy.
The reason why the people of Israel were called holy in Book of Numbers chapter 23 is because the holy God tabernacled in their midst. Balaam said, “Who could curse a people God has already blessed, for I can see the Elohim, the Cloud in the midst of the people of Israel? Who can curse them? Nobody can curse a people God had already blessed.”
He wanted to see their bad part so that he could place a curse on them. The Bible said that he could not see anything for God had already covered it with His hands. In the hollow of His hands, he covered their human weaknesses and imperfections.
Numbers 23:20-21, KJV.²⁰Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. ²¹He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
In the same way, Joshua the high priest stood before the LORD. The enemy – the accuser came and stood there. I mean, the devil came accusing him of many sins. Is it not in your Bible?
God said, “I reject you and your accusations. I do not care whether your accusation is true or false. What is against Joshua and His people, I reject all because Joshua and his people were a sign of a good thing to come. I have already purposed within Myself to bless Joshua and his generation.”
Zechariah 3:1-2 & 8-9, AMP.¹THEN [the guiding angel] showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at Joshua’s right hand to be his adversary and to accuse him.
²And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! Even the Lord, Who [now and habitually] chooses Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this [returned captive Joshua] a brand plucked out of the fire?
……. ⁸Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues who [usually] sit before you–for they are men who are a sign or omen [types of what is to come]–for behold, I will bring forth My servant the Branch.
⁹For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshua, upon that one stone are seven eyes or facets [the all-embracing providence of God and the sevenfold radiations of the Spirit of God]. Behold, I will carve upon it its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity and guilt of this land in a single day.
Then when you go to the Book of Hebrews chapter four, you see that Joshua is Jesus. So let us be very careful. We are waiting for the day of rest.
Hebrews 4:8, KJV.For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
AMP.⁸[This mention of a rest was not a reference to their entering into Canaan.] For if Joshua had given them rest, He [God] would not speak afterward about another day.
Hebrews 4:8 says, “If Jesus had given them that rest, there would not be a mention of another day of rest.” Up till date, a day of rest still awaits God’s people wherever we are. And we have already come into it. It is just one step and we will step into that place.
God has started ravaging the Mediterranean land that is occupied by the enemies of God. From the day God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, nobody has ever stepped in there as Garden of Eden.
The heathen world occupied it. And they are killing themselves because of that fruitful land with good vegetations and with good climate and from where all these good good fruits you are eating are coming. They are all Mediterranean fruits.
And now, God has decided to use fire to eradicate all the inhabitants of that area, believing that in no distant time, all that He will harvest from here with their immortal bodies, that is where they will land.
God will encamp them there across the sea – across the Mediterranean Sea. From there, they will watch the whole world on fire.
So, He knows what He is doing. God is not crazy. And the fire is already kindled. And the fire is already kindled.
I gave you Scriptures tonight which I said everybody should read. Have you seen it in your phones. Go through them.
Psalms 46:10, KJV. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Habakkuk 2:19-20, AMP.¹⁹Woe to him who says to the wooden image, Awake! and to the dumb stone, Arise, teach! [Yet, it cannot, for] behold, it is laid over with gold and silver and there is no breath at all inside it! ²⁰But the Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth hush and keep silence before Him.
Luke 12:1-59, AMP.¹IN THE meanwhile, when so many thousands of the people had gathered that they were trampling on one another, Jesus commenced by saying primarily to His disciples, Be on your guard against the leaven (ferment) of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy [producing unrest and violent agitation].
²Nothing is [so closely] covered up that it will not be revealed, or hidden that it will not be known. ³Whatever you have spoken in the darkness shall be heard and listened to in the light, and what you have whispered in [people’s] ears and behind closed doors will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
⁴I tell you, My friends, do not dread and be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do. ⁵But I will warn you whom you should fear: fear Him Who, after killing, has power to hurl into hell (Gehenna); yes, I say to you, fear Him!
⁶Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And [yet] not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God. ⁷But [even] the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many [flocks] of sparrows.
⁸And I tell you, Whoever declares openly [speaking out freely] and confesses that he is My worshiper and acknowledges Me before men, THE SON OF MAN also will declare and confess and acknowledge him before the angels of God.
⁹But he who disowns and denies and rejects and refuses to acknowledge Me before men will be disowned and denied and rejected and refused acknowledgement in the presence of the angels of God.
¹⁰And everyone who makes a statement or speaks a word against THE SON OF MAN, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit [that is, whoever intentionally comes short of the reverence due the Holy Spirit], it will not be forgiven him [for him there is no forgiveness].
¹¹And when they bring you before the synagogues and the magistrates and the authorities, do not be anxious [beforehand] how you shall reply in defense or what you are to say. ¹²For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour and moment what [you] ought to say.
¹³Someone from the crowd said to Him, Master, order my brother to divide the inheritance and share it with me. ¹⁴But He told him, Man, who has appointed Me a judge or umpire and divider over you?
¹⁵And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man’s life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs.
¹⁶Then He told them a parable, saying, The land of a rich man was fertile and yielded plentifully. ¹⁷And he considered and debated within himself, What shall I do? I have no place [in which] to gather together my harvest.
¹⁸And he said, I will do this: I will pull down my storehouses and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain or produce and my goods. ¹⁹And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up, [enough] for many years. Take your ease; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself merrily.
²⁰But God said to him, You fool! This very night they [the messengers of God] will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be?²¹So it is with the one who continues to lay up and hoard possessions for himself and is not rich [in his relation] to God [this is how he fares].
²²And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious and troubled [with cares] about your life, as to what you will [have to] eat; or about your body, as to what you will [have to] wear. ²³For life is more than food, and the body [more] than clothes.
²⁴Observe and consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn; and [yet] God feeds them. Of how much more worth are you than the birds!
²⁵And which of you by being overly anxious and troubled with cares can add a cubit to his stature or a moment [unit] of time to his age [the length of his life]? ²⁶If then you are not able to do such a little thing as that, why are you anxious and troubled with cares about the rest?
²⁷Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither [wearily] toil nor spin nor weave; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory (his splendor and magnificence) was not arrayed like one of these.
²⁸But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you [people] of little faith?
²⁹And you, do not seek [by meditating and reasoning to inquire into] what you are to eat and what you are to drink; nor be of anxious (troubled) mind [ unsettled, excited, worried, and in suspense];
³⁰For all the pagan world is [greedily] seeking these things, and your Father knows that you need them.³¹Only aim at and strive for and seek His kingdom, and all these things shall be supplied to you also.
³²Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom!
³³Sell what you possess and give donations to the poor; provide yourselves with purses and handbags that do not grow old, an unfailing and inexhaustible treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
³⁴For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ³⁵Keep your loins girded and your lamps burning, ³⁶And be like men who are waiting for their master to return home from the marriage feast, so that when he returns from the wedding and comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
³⁷Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are those servants whom the master finds awake and alert and watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will gird himself and have them recline at table and will come and serve them! ³⁸If he comes in the second watch (before midnight) or the third watch (after midnight), and finds them so, blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are those servants!
³⁹But of this be assured: if the householder had known at what time the burglar was coming, he would have been awake and alert and watching and would not have permitted his house to be dug through and broken into.
⁴⁰You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour and a moment when you do not anticipate it.
⁴¹Peter said, Lord, are You telling this parable for us, or for all alike? ⁴²And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful steward, the wise man whom his master will set over those in his household service to supply them their allowance of food at the appointed time? ⁴³Blessed (happy and to be envied) is that servant whom his master finds so doing when he arrives.
⁴⁴Truly I tell you, he will set him in charge over all his possessions. ⁴⁵But if that servant says in his heart, My master is late in coming, and begins to strike the menservants and the maids and to eat and drink and get drunk,
⁴⁶The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he does not know, and will punish him and cut him off and assign his lot with the unfaithful.
⁴⁷And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act as he would wish him to act shall be beaten with many [lashes].
⁴⁸But he who did not know and did things worthy of a beating shall be beaten with few [lashes]. For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required; and of him to whom men entrust much, they will require and demand all the more.
⁴⁹I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it were already kindled! ⁵⁰I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how greatly and sorely I am urged on (impelled, constrained) until it is accomplished!
⁵¹Do you suppose that I have come to give peace upon earth? No, I say to you, but rather division; ⁵²For from now on in one house there will be five divided [among themselves], three against two and two against three.
⁵³They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
⁵⁴He also said to the crowds of people, When you see a cloud rising in the west, at once you say, It is going to rain! And so it does. ⁵⁵And when [you see that] a south wind is blowing, you say, There will be severe heat! And it occurs.
⁵⁶You playactors (hypocrites)! You know how [intelligently] to discern and interpret and prove the looks of the earth and sky; but how is it that you do not know how to discern and interpret and apply the proof to this present time? ⁵⁷And why do you not judge what is just and personally decide what is right?
⁵⁸Then as you go with your accuser before a magistrate, on the way make a diligent effort to settle and be quit (free) of him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. ⁵⁹I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last [fraction of a] cent.

[In Luke 12:49] the LORD Jesus said, “I wish the fire is kindled already. Nevertheless, I have a baptism that is awaiting Me.” In other words, they have already hindered Him from witnessing it.
Then He committed that Ministry of setting the world on fire into the hands of THE SON OF MAN. You can see it there. That is the concluding side of the Ministry of THE SON OF MAN by setting the whole earth on fire – ablaze, for this particular generation is preserved for fire.
Fire will test all things. Every work of man must be tested by fire, according to the holy Scriptures. So let us be silent before the LORD.

If you look at this scriptural commission, surely you will know that God is in our midst. Note it, this scriptural commission is pointing us to One, another Mighty Angel. He came down from Heaven with everlasting Gospel to preach to men that are living here on earth and to proclaim God’s judgment. ……. Watch what happened. It has become very clear now that the whole scriptural commission we read were all pointing to Christ, whether in the first advent or in the second advent. And whoever that appeared on the scene having the same scriptural commission is no other person but Christ incarnate. We can now call Him the visible manifestation of the invisible Deity. Whatever it is in their day or in our day; for God Himself promised that He is going to be with us

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD

Look at Habakkuk Chapter 2 from verse 19 through 20. Let us read it. ¹⁹Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. ²⁰But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. Amen.

GNB.¹⁹You are doomed! You say to a piece of wood, wake up! or to a block of stone, Get up! Can an idol reveal anything to you? It may be covered with silver and gold, but there is no life it. ²⁰THE LORD IS IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE; let everyone on earth be silent in his presence.
Whether you call it plastic or iron, silver or gold, it is a craft. A human being constructed it. Is it not true? Can you not see people bowing down to those things today and even the churches carrying them about.
Go to Nkpor-Umuoji Road and see the one they molded there using fibre. You see blessed virgin Mary. You see Joseph. You see all the whole saints in the world. They used fibre and paint and decorated all of them.
In some churches, you see them in the form of chaplets. They make a cross and they hang somebody on the cross which they molded with plastic with different colours. Some use wood.
They bow down before all those things – nonsenses. They do obeisance to them. Wherever you see that thing mounted, look at the bottom [base] of it. You will see candle sticks burning with fire. You will see plates where people will just kneel down, do sign of the cross and put their offering in that plate.
Somebody is by the side watching, who keeps watch over it and making sure nobody steals from that money that is placed there. At the end of the month, he is paid his own salary.
Some surround their churches with every kind of monument like that. So it is in every denomination today. They bow down to man-made gods – things that have no breadth in them.
But the LORD Himself is in His holy Tabernacle. Let the whole earth be silent.
Bowing down to things that are not God, things that cannot answer prayers, they ascribe the glory of God to man-made things that they made to resemble human beings.
Some resemble beasts or four-footed animals, but the Godhead is not like those things. We who are God’s children, we do not think anymore that the Godhead is like silver or gold or that it is like wood or this and that – arts made by human hands.
Romans 1:18 – 25, LB.^[18]But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, evil men who push away the truth from them. ^[19]For the truth about God is known to them instinctively; God has put this knowledge in their hearts.
^[20]Since earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse when they stand before God at Judgment Day.
^[21]Yes, they knew about him all right, but they wouldn’t admit it or worship Him or even thank Him for all His daily care. And after a while they began to think up silly ideas of what God was like and what he wanted them to do. The result was that their foolish minds became dark and confused.
^[22]Claiming themselves to be wise without God, they became utter fools instead. ^[23]And then, instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they took wood and stone and made idols for themselves, carving them to look like mere birds and animals and snakes and puny men.
^[24]So God let them go ahead into every sort of sex sin, and do whatever they wanted to—yes, vile and sinful things with each other’s bodies.
^[25]Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they prayed to the things God made, but wouldn’t obey the blessed God who made these things.
Do we think that way again? We know the Tabernacle of God. The Tabernacle of God is among men. God’s habitation is among men. God’s dwelling place is among us, for God has decided to veil Himself in one of us, using Him to talk to us, using Him to answer our prayers and using Him to meet our spiritual need.
But the heathens among us are blind. They cannot behold His Majesty.
Those that have beheld His Majesty are commanded to keep calm, be still and be silent. Be silent! Even in the Book of lamentation, it is there. It is in that period of silence that you can meditate, you can pause and think.
Any problem that arises around you, and you cannot solve it through silent meditation, you cannot solve it again.
Look at the Book of Psalms chapter 46 verse 10. Be still, and know that I am God:…Be still! And then, you know that I am God. I am not that stone or object made of silver or gold or painted images. No! Be still! You know that I am God.
Who will tell you the thing that are yet to come and they will come to pass, which those idols cannot even do for they have mouths but they do not talk. They have eyes, but they do not see. They have hands. They have legs, but they do not move around. It takes human beings to carry them about. Is it not true?
It takes human beings to carry them either on your shoulder or on your head, creating problems for human beings.
And they that worship those things are like those things they are worshipping. They are senseless human beings that worship graven images. They are senseless.
But you discover those that specialize in worshipping those things are the aristocrats. They are the academia. I mean, among them are professors.
This is so that you now believe God who said in the Book of Job that through much reading and much education academically, nobody has ever succeeded in discovering God, for God reveals Himself to whosoever He willeth.
God can reveal Himself to Chiemelie, but Chiamaka who is by the side may not know. He can reveal Himself to you as the Almighty God, but to Chika as a mere man. So all the dealings Chika will have with Him will be mere natural dealings with a mere man.
But to FearGod who got the revelation that he is no longer a man like himself, his dealings with Him will be supernatural and purely divine for he is standing in his own divine standpoint to do whatever he is doing. He is no longer doing it to please a human being like himself.
He now knows that, in there, is the Deity. And there is no other way the Deity will come his way if not through this Vessel He has chosen for Himself and Whom He has made His own dwelling place. From there now, He rears up from time to time.
Psalms 46:10-11, KJV.Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen,… I must be exalted, worshipped among the heathens through out the whole world.
…I will be exalted in the earth. ¹¹The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Psalms 46:10, GNB.Stop fighting, He says, and know that I am God, Supreme among the nations, Supreme over the world. Amen!
There is another translation that says, “He must be worshipped by all the inhabitants of the whole earth.” I have many translations here.
AMP.¹⁰Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!
LB. ^[10]“Stand silent!Know that I am God! I will be honoured by every nation in the world!”^[11]The Commander of the heavenly armies is here among us! Sure!!! He, the God of Jacob, has come to rescue us! Finish!
And you must know the God you are worshipping. The Commander of the armies of God cannot be ordinary wood. He cannot be silver nor clay. He cannot be man-made. So let us be very very careful as we journey along.
NIV.¹⁰“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” ¹¹The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
MSG.^8-10Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. “Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything.”

Do you think the entire world is worshipping Jehovah in vain? Do you think that the entire world is making search for the Supreme Deity, The Supreme Intelligence that controls the universe in vain? Where we are, astronauts cannot get there. We are operating beyond the astronauts. We are even operating beyond the internet. Internet is still within human conception or perception. I repeat, where we are and where we are heading to, is beyond human conception and beyond human perception.

– THE SON OF MAN –

FACING THE FACTS OF OUR FAITH; Preached on Sunday 9^th October 2005 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 89 vs. 37 – 38.

The prayer of the righteous availeth much

Do not go for the food that perisheth; the breads you will eat and the water you will drink and still die.

But we are asked to go for that food which you will eat and you will not die again. The food that endureth unto everlasting life, which the son of man gives. For He alone has the Father sealed and sent. He alone!
John 6:27, KJV. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
The whole references the LORD Jesus Christ made pointed us to something He wanted to do, but He could not do it because there was a baptism that was awaiting Him.
And because of that baptism, He knew that he could not complete that work. He now warned everybody concerning His friend who will come after. He called Him THE SON OF MAN.
Luke 12:49, AMP.⁴⁹I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it were already kindled!
And He warned seriously, being the Spirit of Truth according to Saint John Chapter 16, if you dare sin against Him when He shall be here, you will not be forgiven in this world nor in the world to come. He warned us to be very careful.
That passage alone has explained what He said in that John Chapter 16, “I have many things I wanted to tell you, but you cannot bear them now. Nevertheless, when He the spirit of Truth shall come, He shall guide you into the knowledge of all truths, for He will not speak of Himself. Whatever He hears from me, that is what He will declare unto you.
So, it is a continuation of the same Ministry, but this time in another Name and in a higher dimension. And He will hold it on till the consummation of the Age, for He said, “I will never leave you again. I will be with you till the end of the world.”
The son of man is the One Who has that same Ministry of setting the whole earth ablaze. He is the One that will set the whole earth on fire which is a part of that same Ministry, and not another Ministry. The Ministry of the LORD Jesus Christ which He could not carry out because, as at that time, His Ministry was divided into two – the first part and the second part.
The first part is to pay the price for sin, while the second part is for the full and complete salvation, for those who are patiently waiting for it.
Hebrews 9:28, AMP.²⁸Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for and expecting Him.
That is why He said he was coming again. A little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me.
I was emphasizing on the prayers which many of you do not even pay heed to. If you know Who is doing that prayer for you, happy are you. Your duty is to say Amen to that prayer, believe in that prayer and it will work for you. That prayer is quite different from the one you make. He prayed for his disciples before he left the scene.
John 17:1-End, AMP. Pay attention! ¹WHEN JESUS had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify and exalt and honour and magnify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify and extol and honour and magnify You.
²[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), …
All flesh MUST honour Me. All flesh MUST bow down before the LORD God Almighty. Remember the song we got from Him:
Just a little while, every eye shall see. Just a little while, every ear will hear. Just a little while, every tongue must confess that THE SON OF MAN is the LORD to the Glory of God the father.
All flesh should stand still and be silent, for the LORD is rearing up from His Tabernacle, from His habitation. He is showcasing Himself.
If you are a noise maker, you would not catch it. If you are full of doubt, you have missed it already. If you use your intellect, you throw yourself away from His plan of salvation. All you have to do is to be still. Be silent. Watch and pray.
²[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind),…
No matter who you are. If he wants to destroy you, He will destroy you. If He wants to save you, He will save you. You are just ordinary clay. He is your potter. Is it not like that? Is it not Scripture?
Somebody who is granted absolute power to have control, dominion and authority over all human beings – over all mankind to do as He wishes because He is THE SON OF MAN. Not only human beings, but the totality of God’s creation.
Hence the angels marvel, “Who is this SON OF Man that is born to righteousness? Righteousness can never depart from Him. You have entrusted into His care, gave Him Authority and made Him Overseer over everything You created. Who could be this young man? What type of favour is He getting from You, the Almighty?” Is it not Scriptural?
Hebrews 2:5-8, LB.^[5]And the future world we are talking about will not be controlled by angels. ^[6]No, for in the book of Psalms David says to God, “What is mere man that you are so concerned about him? And who is this Son of Man you honour so highly?
^[7]For though you made him lower than the angels for a little while, now you have crowned him with glory and honour. ^[8]And you have put him in complete charge of everything there is. Nothing is left out.” We have not yet seen all of this take place,
Ethiopic Book of Prophet Enoch; The Seventh from Adam; Chapter 71 verse 14.¹⁴And the angel came to me and greeted me with his voice, and said to me ‘This is the Son of Man who is born to righteousness, and righteousness abides over him, and the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes him not.’
So let us be very careful. If you see Him in your midst, begin to clap your hands with joy. If he makes a prayer for you, it is done, if you believe it. It is done, if you believe it. Look at the prayer He was making that time.
…[now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him.
Can you imagine? Glorify Him that He may give eternal life to all You have handed over to Him. It is not ordinary life, but eternal life. Are you surprised?
People turn over the Bible thinking that by searching the Bible they will get eternal life, but they refuse to come before that Man born to righteousness that He will give them that eternal life.
And as many as believe in Him, he gave the power to become the sons and daughters of God.
³And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] toknow Him, Jesus [as the]Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.
⁴I have glorified You down here on the earth by completing the work that You gave Me to do. ⁵And now, Father, glorify Me along with Yourself and restore Me to such majesty and honour in Your presence as I had with You before the world existed. Sure!!!
⁶I have manifested Your Name [I have revealed Your very Self,… [1] I have manifested YOUR NAME and [2] I have revealed your real self – THE ORIGINAL BODY. …Your real Self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world.
They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed and kept Your word.⁷Now [at last] they know and understand that all You have given Me belongs to You [is really and truly Yours].
⁸For the [uttered] words that You gave Me [The Spoken Word You gave to Me- the uttered Word]… I have given them; and they have received and accepted [them] and have come to know positively and in reality [to believe with absolute assurance] that I came forth from Your presence, and they have believed and are convinced that You did send Me. [Sure!!!]
⁹I am praying for them. I am not praying (requesting) for the world,… I am praying for them, but I am not praying or making My request for the people in the world. You see why you cannot joke with His prayers.
And you do not make the mistake of thinking that your prayer is as effective as His own, for He is praying to the Father, Who is equally living with Him, and Whose Tabernacle He is. He is the Son of His pleasure, always standing in the presence of His Majesty, the Almighty God.
⁹I am praying for them. I am not praying (requesting) for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they belong to You. ¹⁰All [things that are] Mine are Yours, and all [things that are] Yours belong to Me; and I am glorified in (through) them. [They have done Me honour; in them My glory is achieved.]
¹¹And [now] I am no more in the world, but these are [still] in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep in Your Name [ in the knowledge of Yourself] those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We [are one].
¹²While I was with them, I kept and preserved them in Your Name [in the knowledge and worship of You]. …
The ancient manuscript said, “When He shall be here the second time, He will keep His people together by His Name.” By His Name.
…Those You have given Me I guarded and protected, and not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot–the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
Destined to be lost. That was his destiny, that the Scriptures might be fulfilled. I do not know about you. Are you destined to salvation or to damnation?
If you are destined to damnation, no matter how we preach, no matter how we scream and explain, it is not for you. You will still manifest everything negative. But if you are destined to salvation, a Word is enough for you. One Word from God is all you need. And you are settled.
¹³And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am still in the world, so that My joy may be made full and complete and perfect in them [that they may experience My delight fulfilled in them, that My enjoyment may be perfected in their own souls, that they may have My gladness within them, filling their hearts].
¹⁴I have given and delivered to them Your Word (message) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world [do not belong to the world], just as I am not of the world.
¹⁵I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one.
¹⁶They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world. ¹⁷Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth.
¹⁸Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. ¹⁹And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth.
²⁰Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, ²¹That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.
²²I have given to them the glory and honour which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: ²³I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.
²⁴Father, I desire that they also whom You have entrusted to Me [as Your gift to Me] may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory, which You have given Me [Your love gift to Me]; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
²⁵O just and righteous Father, although the world has not known You and has failed to recognize You and has never acknowledged You, I have known You [continually]; and these men understand and know that You have sent Me.
²⁶I have made Your Name known to them and revealed Your character and Your very Self, and I will continue to make [You] known, that the love which You have bestowed upon Me may be in them [felt in their hearts] and that I [Myself] may be in them.
I have many things I wanted to say tonight. Nevertheless, this is where we will stop. Tonight does not require plenty preaching or teaching.
BE SILENT BEFORE THE LORD. STAND STILL, AND THEN MEDITATE, FOR THE LORD HE IS GOD. AND HE IS IN HIS HOLY TABERNACLE.
There is nothing you want to know about Him which he has not revealed to us. We are without excuse.
Anybody who omitted himself from this prayer that day lived a life of regret and sorrow, for this is the greatest prayer he made and the greatest revelation, the summary of all His deeds and His relationship with His chosen flock, to whom belongeth the Kingdom.
And all of them confirmed that what He disclosed were nothing but the truth. No impersonation. No counterfeiting of anything. They were living eye and ear witnesses; the beneficiaries and partakers of all those things just as we are in our own day.
Not even one of those infallible proofs and evidences were displayed in the dark, in secret places. They were all displayed during the day. They were all displayed openly in the Tabernacle before many witnesses. Some have died. Some have left the Faith. While some are alive till this day.
What can we say if we get to the end and we are rejected because there is doubt in us? What if we are rejected because we have not taken him seriously?
You can gaze at the sky and predict that the rain is about to fall, and it will fall. You gaze at the sky and say there is going to be great sunshine, and it will be. But the hour you are in, you cannot even predict and interpret accurately.
In all I have highlighted so far surrounding the world, can we not go to the Book of Habakkuk and see that it said, “When these troubles will begin, it will begin to spread gradually, continually, consistently, sporadically until it will engulf the whole earth, and will never be overdue by a single second”?
Habakkuk 2:3, LB.^[3]But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!
We can see all that the LORD has purposed to unleash in the end time. They are all around us now. Is there anybody who can stand up and say the LORD does not have the power to send fire from the heavens to ravage the earth?
All these cities and countries that are being ravaged, who set all of them ablaze? Was there any human being that poured fuel on them and set them ablaze? And they are continually moving on. Non-stop!
Who could send the flood to arid countries – desert countries? Who promised that water must flow in the desert in the end? Is He not the Almighty God?
Countries that have not been experiencing rainfall, are now experiencing flooding. Those that have been experiencing flooding are now experiencing dryness. Who turned the climate and the weather upside down?
Who is stirring up all these insurgents throughout the whole world? The earth is now filled with violence. True or false?
If you cannot read the hand writing on the wall, be it known to you that that glorious day must take you unawares.
There is no other way I know I can talk to you than pointing you back to the teachings handed down to you, and then, you can predict the hour accurately because events are made clear by prophecy.
Shall we pray.

Conclusion

PRAYER

Thank YouLord for giving us this wonderful opportunity to come before you tonight and have our strength renewed.
Our Father and our God, You are the Alpha and the Omega; the Beginning and the End. You are the only One, real and true God, the Creator of Heaven and earth tabernacling among us in human form, not counting it robbery.
We welcome Your presence with all our hearts. We reverence You. We adore You. We exalt Your Most Holy Name above every other name we know that is in heaven and on earth, for there is none to compare to You.
Your loving-kindness has been made manifest to us tonight. We have felt the touch of love. Our hearts were burning within us even when we were hearing You speaking to us tonight in love and in mercy. Father, we are grateful. And we will ever remain grateful.
Cause us to remain silent before You. As we ponder over what we have heard, even as we go to our beds, grant that we will meditate on what we have heard tonight.
As we send this Message across, Father, grant that all that will listen to it tonight will have a very peaceful and quiet night as they meditate on the contents of the Message.
May we never receive this Message to our condemnation, but let the Message be to our justification.
We are hopeful that you have already provided for the physical food we eat. And You have provided for that for all your children worldwide as well.
Take all the glory. Take all the honour, praise, thanksgiving and adoration as we worship You, Father, with worshipful obedience for blessing us tonight.
As we go to our beds, give charge over Your guardian angels to be on guard around us as we sleep; to be on guard in our premises, for if Thou Great Jehovah fails to keep watch over a city, all the watchmen are labouring in vain.
Be our watchman by day and by night. May we never experience anything evil around us and around our dwelling places throughout the whole world.
Thank you for answering our prayers, for Thy Name’s sake we pray. Amen.
