Preached on PREACHED SUNDAY 3RD MARCH, 1996 At THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN
THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE
1
THE UNFAILING SIGN
If you love me pray for me. I am not making use of microphone today so the Lord helping me I may be here till everybody is tired. I said I may be here till everybody is tired. I am not in a haste.
2. I will take my time to engrave something for humanity. If you feel tired, my answer is that you just stand up and move about a little because we are back to the very beginning. If you don’t want us to go back to the very beginning, you are God’s greatest enemy.
3. As many as are privileged to be in His Presence today, you are a blessed people. I promised that I will continue in the teaching class, that is Sunday school by rehearsing the thing of God in Christ. I promised that from the Holy Scriptures I would make everybody understand why we say that Christ—the Anointed One—alone is Almighty God.
4. And on that Thursday we succeeded in seeing Christ as the Creator. I gave you enough Scriptures showing that God is the Creator and Christ is the Creator.
5. The essence of showing you all these things is to make you to be sure that you are not deceived.
6. If you say that Christ is God at least you will be in a position to turn the pages of your Bible and let everyman see it clearly.
7. What will kill somebody is when you feel you have known too much. Most of the Scriptures I gave you that day, there are many people here even among old-timers that had never come across them before. But they believe that Christ is Almighty God: they know the ministers they received it from.
8. I don’t want to stop at receiving from a minister; I want to finish it and becoming a minister myself because we are all ministers of the word.
9. If you are saying that Almighty God is Christ in human form because The Apostle said it, let it be known to you that you can be easily deceived.
10. But if you are saying it and you have believed it because the Bible said so and I am not the author of the Bible, you are not the author of the Bible but God is the author.
11. Now you are rooted, grounded and settled. You can never be blown about by every wind of doctrine. Everything must be established by the Holy Scriptures.
12. That is the only sign God gave us which is an infallible sign—signs and wonders may fail but the word of God can never fail because forever it is settled in heaven. Amen.

THE GODHEAD
I will not repeat the lesson “God as the Creator: Christ the Creator.”Rather find out those that were present here on Thursday and copy the Scriptures from them. Then cross check in your private places.
2. We are continuing in the lesson “Who is God?”I will preach God as the Redeemer and we will read from the Bible also that “Christ is the Redeemer and also as the Saviour”.
3. Psalms 78: 34-35. This is the first Scripture we are reading. We will stand up and reverence the word of God. If you are here, don’t allow Satan to tempt you to challenge why we stand up to reverence the word of God. You turn with me in the best interest of the new ones.
4. Nehemiah 8:5-6, And Ezra…
5. Note thatEzra was the high priest of God.
6. And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) …
7. Notethat the book was nothing but the book of the Law.
8. …and when he opened it, all the people stood up: And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God.
9. Underline it; the great Godbecause Titus called Christ the Great God.
10. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. KJV.
11. You see how God is worshiped. People said amen and amen, lifted up their holy hands with their faces downward and they worshiped the Lord.
12. Today, you know Joshua told the people that they should never allow the word of God which is the Law to depart from their hands and hearts.
13. We are still ministers of the word entrusted with the same word of God, the Bible and the message of our day.
14. Like every nation will reverence their National Anthem and National Pledge the same way we reverence the Bible.
15. When we want to read the Word, we open the book, we bless the Lord, the Priests, because we are all Priests, we just open it, the entire congregation will stand up. After reading it we sit down. And then we continue in the worship – the fellowship.
16. Psalms 78: 34-35. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.
17. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their Redeemer. KJV.
18. And the High God their Redeemer, may the Lord bless the reading of the word in Christ Name. Amen.
19. Now we have seen God as the Redeemer.
20. Isaiah 47:4. As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the holy one of Israel.
21. Isaiah 44:6, Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. KJV
22. Isaiah 43: 3-11, Isaiah 45:21, Isaiah 49:26,
23. Psalms 106:21. They forgot God their Saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
24. Saint Luke 1 : 46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
25. We have equally seen that God is the Redeemer, God is the Saviour. The same way, Christ is the Redeemer, Christ is the Saviour.
26. Search the Scriptures, study to show yourself approved unto God as a workman that needs not be ashamed but rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
27. All these Scriptures I have given you will establish that God is the Redeemer and the Saviour. Now we want to see Scriptures that will establish “Christ as the Redeemer and the Saviour”.
28. 1 John 4:14, And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
29. Christ is the Saviour.
30. 1 Peter 2: 21-24, For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
31. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again, when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose strips ye were healed.
32. You see, Christ saved us. It still establishes Christ as the Saviour.
33. Acts 20: 28, Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
34. Christ is also the Saviour. He purchased the Church with his own precious blood in His first advent.
35. Galatians 3:13, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.
36. Christ is now our Redeemer. He redeemed us from the curse of the Law. I hope somebody is following! I Am establishing Christ as the Saviour and the Redeemer so that you will see that God the Redeemer and Saviour is the same Christ the Redeemer and the Saviour.
37. No matter the way you may look at God, whatever that was in God manifested in Christ. All the attributes of God; whatever made Him God, that is why the Bible said in Christ dwelleth the fullness of the God Head bodily.
38. Thus when you want to see God because He is a Spirit, look at the Vessel called Christ, the Anointed One. Look at the vessel called the Sent One, the Watchman. He is the express Image of God.
39. Hence, you can’t see God outside Christ. Is somebody getting the message?
40. Galatians 4:21-29, Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
41. For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
42. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which engendereth to bondage, which is Hagar. For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
43. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath a husband.
44. 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. KJV.
45. Galatians 2: 10-20 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
46. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
47. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
48. We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
49. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
50. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
51. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. KJV.
52. Who loved me and gave Himself for me. In other words, He gave Himself to redeem the man who was living under the Law. Christ is still the Redeemer, without Him nobody will redeem you from the curse of the Law. You will remain in bondage.
53. Before Christ came everybody on earth was in bondage but when Christ came He redeemed us, set us free, we now walk by faith not by deeds of the Law that could not profit any man anything.
54. Titus 1:1-4, Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
55. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
56. To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
57. You see, God the Father is our Saviour, manifested Himself in Christ as our Saviour also.
58. Titus 2:10-13, Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.
59. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearance of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. KJV.
60. I will not continue this way. I will simply give you Scriptures and go to my message. You better read it from verse 7, you get it clearer. That when the grace of God appeared, He redeemed us.
61. From verse 7 when Saint Paul was talking to the Philippian people, for they hated us and we hated them. They spoke evil against us we spoke back against them. But when the grace of God appeared, not because of the righteousness which we have done, but because of His Mercy, He redeemed us, He saved us.
62. I said I will not continue in this teaching, I better give you Scriptures and then go to my message for the day because the Scriptures I have here are more than one thousand, just to establish Christ as Almighty God.
63. Thus, if you want to please yourself you can just photocopy it then sit down and go through. I believe the best truth is the truth you proved not the truth I will prove and then tell you.
64. There is something in sitting down to search the Bible. That time you use in watching television and going about talking nonsense, sit down, take your Bible, bring out your jotter, search to know whether you were being deceived.
65. When you discover that you are not being deceived, go ahead. But anywhere you discover you are being deceived, please stop, go away. Amen.

CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY
OF GOD REVEALED
Christ as the Shepherd, we will see it in John 10: 8-12.
2. John 10: 8-12. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

15. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
16. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
17. Isaiah 40:10-11, Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand , and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

30. My brother Okechukwu, I think the Scriptures you were requesting for, they are all here, you better take your note now, I won’t give you Scriptures again on that matter. They are all here.
31. John 1:14, John 1:10, John 8: 24, 58-59, 2 Cor 5:19, 1 Tim 3:16.
32. I am jumping many, many Scriptures so that I can go to the message.
33. There is only but one God, one God – He is the Father, He is the Lord, Christ our Lord. The following are in King James Version.
34. Deut 6: 4-9, Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
35. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
36. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
37. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
38. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
39. Mark 12:28-29, And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
40. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.
41. Malachi 2:10, Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
42. Isa 44:6-8, Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
43. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them.
44. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it ? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
45. Isa 45:2-6, 21-23, I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
46. And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
47. For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
48. I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
49. That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
50. Isa 45: 21-23, Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
51. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
52. Isa 46:8-9, Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
53. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
54. 1 Cor 8:4-6, As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
55. 5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
56. 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
57. Eph 4:5-6, One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
58. 1 Tim 2:5, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
59. James 2:19, Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
60. Rev 4:2-3. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
61. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
62. After going through this Scriptures and you are not convinced that Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, that He is He that has come, The Lord God Almighty, you are lost!
63. If you don’t believe that if you have seen Him, you have seen the Father— if you don’t believe that He is in the Father and The Father is in Him, you will perish in your sins.
64. God bless you. By this, this is the only way I know I can quickly rehearse the Godhead. Establishing that God is One and His Name is one. He is the Lord, Christ our Lord.
65. The Lord willing, one of these days, I will be speaking to you on the message “The Name of the Lord.” Yes, the Revelation ofthe Name of the Lord.
66. I know you have read it from your Bible that the Name of the Lord is a Mighty Tower and the righteous will hide there and they are secured. But you will know that the Name of the Lord is no other Name but the Name of the Messenger of your day, and the righteous will hide under that Name and they are secured.
67. There is no other name any man can run to for safety and be secured except the Name of the revealed Christ of your day. Then you will see that all that the Lord is doing to His people, He is doing them for His Name sake.
68. GOD WILL SAVE US NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE BELIEVED HIM. He is saving His Name.
69. Psalms 91 said, “Because you have known My Name I will save you.”
70. There are many people that will not know the Name of God until God will take away the people. Do you think it is easy to know the Name of God? From all the ages God decided to be hiding His Name.
71. God hid His Name from Moses. Moses enquired about His Name. he told him, “Go and tell them that the I AM”. “I AM” is not His Name, has anybody been baptized in the name “I AM”? No.
72. He went further to say “I AM HE”. Has anybody been baptized in the name “I AM HE”? No. He said, “Go and tell them, The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.”
73. Is there Trinity there? Those that believe in Trinity, can you see Trinity there? No sir! It was the same God. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, is it not the same God? Are they different, different gods? No Sir!
74. I baptize you in the name of God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob, what is the name of that God? I said, what is the Name of that God? God must have a Name.
75. The God Isaac worshiped was the One his father worshiped. The same God Jacob worshiped, He is not another god. Yet they were calling him different names. Some identified Him as Jehovah, some identified Him as Jehovah-Jireh, Jehovah-Shalom, Jehovah-Rapha, Jehovah-Shammah, Jehovah-Shalom.
76. Which one is His Name? Which one among all these titles? These titles are mere God’s Attributes: God of Righteousness, God my Provider, God my Defender. Is that His Name? No. Yet He continued hiding His Name.
77. I will keep on telling you and showing you from the Bible until you see a place in the Bible where somebody enquired about His Name. He gave him a warning: “What have you to do with my Name? I have kept it secret to myself.” God said so.
78. That is why Saint Paul said, “The secret in Him from the foundation of the world, He has decided to reveal unto us.”
79. Christ is the mystery of God revealed. It is mystery that is hidden since the ages gone by, but in our day it is revealed.
80. Nobody can know God, except whom God revealeth Himself. It must be by divine revelation. Amen.

BE YE PERFECT FOR
I YOUR GOD, I AM PERFECT (1)
While we continue, we search our Bible, let us go to Hebrews chapter 6.
2. Hebrews 6:1-6, Wherefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
3. Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit.
4. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
5. If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. KJV.
6. Now look at these scriptures.
7. 1 Peter 2:1-4, Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
8. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
9. If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious. KJV.
10. I will gather Scriptures together and speak on one topic.
11. Matthew 5:48, Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. KJV.
12. Hebrews 5:9, And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. KJV.
13. Luke 6:40, The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. KJV.
14. Ephesians 4:11-13, And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
15. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
16. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. KJV.
17. I know teaching makes the fellowship to look somehow dull, but it is to those who are absent-minded. But to the real scholars, I mean to the real scholars, they feel livelier. Because if you don’t teach them, don’t blame them.
18. We must be taught. The Bible says that the people of God must be taught of God. You know this is our own school. We don’t believe in Bible College. That is why when you go from our school, meet somebody with DDD, Ph.D. and so on, he will be astonished. He will say, “My friend, how did you get this type of knowledge, this type of wisdom since you didn’t go to Bible College.”
19. Actually we don’t believe in Bible College. Yet The Holy Ghost is our Trainer. He is our Trainer if you are here with all your heart. Just one week you will stay here, God will shoot you up. You will challenge reverend doctor so, so and so, you pin him down until he sees himself as a stark unbeliever. He will see his nakedness.
20. The weakest vessel in this Church is mightier than Paul Nweke. The weakest vessel in the Church is mightier than Kumuyi. But when you see them with big coat and a flashy car, you think they are something. Call a little boy from Sunday school here, bring this matter up: “The Godhead, who is God?” he will just play the thing, play the thing, play the thing until the man becomes an unbeliever.
21. You see; as empty as empty can be yet they make a hell of noise. There is one adage that empty vessels make the greatest noise. Do we make noise? No.
22. The Church of God is a quiet Church. We don’t make a hell of noise. We don’t advertise ourselves until people call for us.
23. From where we have read, I know you have known the message, you have known the topic. There is no way we can revisit it without justifying God’s claim.
24. God said, “I have finished the work in righteousness. I have finished it. I promised it and I have done it.”
25. Then the word went forth by the Holy Spirit inspiration: “The work has been finished in righteousness, has it been finished in you”?
26. Now we continue, I am speaking on the topic which is the climax of the revision. I think it is my number two. I handled number one which is “Holiness”.Be ye holy for I the Lord your God, I am Holy.
27. I love feeding the standard of the message, I mean the present level. People that are coming in now, you are meeting us at this level and this is where you will join. We are not expecting you to go back to Mixed-Multitude, Jerusalem to Jericho.
28. If time permits, we will teach you all these things but where you meet us is where you will join us.
29. It is not compulsory that everybody must enter the vehicle in the motor park. Some people may pay on the way if there is still chance in the vehicle. “Aba, Aba, Aba!” they just enter.
30. You don’t enter and say, “Drive back to s park.” Anywhere you enter you take your seat and continue.
31. Thus, all those things people suffered in the motor park do not concern you. Your own suffering will start from where you joined. I am typing something.
32. BE YE PERFECT FOR I YOUR GOD I AM PERFECT. If you want us to finish the message we will finish it. I have another message by my right hand side which is introduction of the message I have been promising.
33. If we finish this one on time I will introduce that one. If we don’t finish this one I will go home with that one and you may not hear it until I come back from another State. Because very soon I will be leaving for my missionary trips.
34. From Abuja I will tour another State, come back and tour another State which means you will be getting this message if we remain here alive, maybe around August, if there will be August.
35. The moment I step out, I have been with you for many, many months now. Since December, I have been with you which, is unnecessary. I am taking my leave and before you see me in your midst again it would be between July and August.
36. Thus, if you can’t take the message before I take my leave, forget about it.
37. There is a reason why I am fortifying this place. Even if I die, I know the time will come when people will be having problems with their local, local Churches, where would they run to? They would run to this place.
38. Is it necessary that they will see the Apostle? No. They would see other Apostles. They would see brethren that are pillars of the Church, who are fully grounded and settled with the doctrines of the Church and they would discuss with them.
39. The Igbos say that onye ihe ya fuduru ofu ewegi ihe o ji. Which means one who has only one item left in his possession has nothing. That is why God is emptying the whole messages into different vessels. It is wisdom.
40. Bro. John, my new friend, you see why we don’t come here to make ourselves one thing or the other. If what is in me is in you, we are one.
41. I may not prophesy, I may not speak in tongue, I may not answer Apostle or Prophet or anything but if at the end of the day what I will receive is “Your sins that are many are forgiven you for Christ sake,” what else do you need? Nothing.
42. Brother what else do you need? I may not prophesy, I may not preach one day but at the end of this road, the only thing I will receive is that “Brother Odoemena, your sins that are many are forgiven you for Christ sake.” I am okay. Any other hindrance? No. Amen.

BE YE PERFECT FOR
I YOUR GOD, I AM PERFECT (2)
| I |
saiah 55:11, So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
2. In other words, God can never speak one word in vain for God is ever mindful of His words. This word, “You must be perfect for I am perfect”, it went out of the mouth of God in righteousness and it can never come back to God void until those people that have received it, the people that have heard it, have attained that level of perfection.
3. All that would ever come to God, God would expect them to be like God Himself.
4. Where we read in St Luke 6:40, the Bible says that a disciple ought to be perfect as his master. I cannot be more perfect than my master, I will not be below perfect, I will come to the same level.
5. That is why he concluded the matter in Hebrews 2:11 that “For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.”
6. In other words, we are attaining the same status with Christ, and when we come to that level, then the Scripture come to fulfillment that they that receive the word of God, they are Gods. Somebody didn’t get the message.
7. What God will receive to Himself is nothing but God Himself. For any man to come to God he must be like God. He will appear before God spotless and sinless. He will appear before God just like an angel, he would be like God.
8. For a man and a woman to live together harmoniously without quarreling, two of them must have one nature. Where a woman has another nature and the husband has another nature, they would be quarrelling. There would be sharp disagreement and misunderstanding.
9. If the man is giving the impression that all is going well when he knows that there is quarrelling, dispute, and misunderstanding, that man is the greatest hypocrite. He is only managing his family. He is not living in his family. He is not dwelling in his family, he is managing the family; “Let me manage.”
10. In Christ you manage nothing. God is not God of management; “Let me manage”–don’t manage.
11. God supplies everything abundantly, abundantly, abundantly, full, full measure. When God wants to give you peace, He will give you abundant peace. Enough peace, He would settle you once and for all.
12. I am saying that the Church must always agree with Christ because the Church is the wife of Christ. We are the Bride, Christ is the Bridegroom. Then for us to live with Christ without quarrel, without problem, we must all agree, come to the same nature.
13. When the wife is perfect and the husband is perfect, what is living together? Perfection is in the home. Perfect peace, perfect love, perfect harmony, everything perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect, and any man that God called even from the foundation of the world, God calls him to perfection.
14. If you check your Bible even in Genesis, from the call of Abraham, God told Abraham saying “Walk ye before me and be ye perfect”. That is the first man God called. He called him and commanded him that he must be perfect; “walk ye before me and be ye perfect.”
15. Then how do we attain it? God showed us the way.
16. In Hebrews chapter 12: 2, the Bible says that we should look unto the Christ who is the Author and Finisher of our faith. If we go further, we will see in the Bible that the word of God is perfect converting souls.
17. Christ, the Anointed One in our midst is perfect, converting the souls because Christ from the beginning is the Word of God. I will show you something.
18. Hebrew 5:9 says that Christ which is the word of God, first of all made Himself perfect and then became the author of Eternal Salvation to them that will obey Him.
19. If any man disobeys Him, automatically that man will not be a partaker of that Eternal Salvation which Christ is the Author. You know He is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
20. Hebrews 5:9, And being made perfect, he became the author of Eternal Salvation unto all them that obey him;
21. Unto all of them that will obey, is it those that will disobey? No. In other words, for you to be a partaker of this Eternal Salvation, Christ is the Author, you must obey Christ, and Christ according the Bible St John 1:14 is the Word of God, the Word made flesh
22. John 1:1 said “In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and that word was God.”
23. If there is anything you don’t understand, please let me know. If I am too fast, raise up your hand, I will mellow down because it is teaching. If you don’t teach them, don’t blame them.
24. Perfection is a reality, God expects it. Hence, God has given us the five-fold ministry. God has given it to us according to Ephesians 4:11-13. He has given us the ministry of the Apostles, the Prophets, the Evangelist, the Teachers and Pastors.
25. Ephesians 4:11-13. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
26. Note the word, every word, there is plural. Prophets, plural; that is why in this Church we keep on praying that God should increase the number of ministers. Give us more Apostles, more Prophets, more Evangelists, more Pastors and more Teachers for the labour is very extensive but the labourers are few.
27. We are praying for genuine ones, we don’t want counterfeit. We want original, people that are called of God from the foundation of world, ordained of God not of Man., filled with the Holy Ghost who God will back up.
28. These are the ones we are praying for. It is not something any man covets. It is God’s own ordination. You don’t go to Bible College to get it. Therefore what?
29. For the perfecting of the saints.
30. Who are the Saints? All the members of the Church are regarded as Saints. All children of God are regarded as Saints. In other words, God is interested that every Saint must be perfected.
31. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Till we all come in the unity of the faith…
32. Till we all, did he say minus this Sister, minus this brother? Till we all come to this agreement, this unity of the faith.
33. Brother John, have you seen what the Bible is saying? Not that this brother will be doing this, this one will be doing another one, no, no, no. We all will come to the same unity of faith.
34. And of the knowledge of the son of God.
35. And of the knowledge of who the Son of God is.
36. Unto a perfect man.
37. Unto what? A perfect man. Which means every one of us will attain the same perfect stature. Unto a perfect man, unto a perfect woman.
38. Unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
39. Unto the measure of the fullness of the stature of Christ. Not minus one, not removing one dot. Now, how many people are qualified for Translation in this faith? This is the measuring rod for Translation, otherwise forget about it.
40. If I don’t tell you this last truth, let me tell you, I don’t love you which will mean I have labored in vain. But God forbid. Saint Paul didn’t hide this truth from the Church and this is where the whole denominations are crash landing.
41. You can just repent, let me tell you, in the denomination, denomination don’t commit fornication two times, they don’t fight, they don’t quarrel but they don’t quit talking of sin, but they stop there. They don’t go beyond repent, repent, repent.
42. If you repent, you stop. You are just like a woman that delivered a baby. When you deliver a baby, do you continue feeding that baby with milk forever? No sir. Will you be happy to see that baby lying in the manger year in year out? No sir.
43. The baby will not sit down alone without help, the baby will not crawl, the baby will not stand, cannot run, not growing, who would be happy to have such baby in his house? Nobody.
44. I will show you that God requires us to grow. We will grow in faith, we will grow in knowledge, we will grow in wisdom, we will grow in everything.
45. After all Jesus Christ Himself grew up in the hands of his father Joseph and Mary. He was growing in stature, in wisdom, in knowledge, is it not Bible? And yet God said that let Christ be your perfect example.
46. You shouldn’t look at anybody; there are a lot of people in the Church that are not willing to make one step forward. They only stopped at knowing the Godhead; Christ is Almighty God, they know it. Devil knows more than that and confesses more than that.
47. “I have baptized in the name of Jesus Christ,…” But the spirit of God is not there.
48. Do not allow yourself to be the same. Don’t allow this message to jump overhead; don’t allow it at all because there are two twin messages: “Holiness and Perfection”. This is the climax of all.
49. All the messages we have been hearing, they are all aiming at shooting us up to attain this height. And perfection is the fullness of the stature of Christ.
50. You can be holy but not perfect. You are running perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Thus, holiness can be in you yet not perfection. You can be holy and not yet perfect.
51. When you come to a point where you roll into sin and then repent a little, you roll into sin; you repent, you are holy, yet sin is still overtaking you, but you don’t continue in it, you are still a saint.
52. But when you come to perfection, you will no longer mention sin. When you attain this perfection, the fullness of the Stature of Christ and sin is mentioned in you, go and check it, revisit yourself, you are claiming what you are not.
53. God is taking only the perfect for Translation is for the perfect.
54. If we have not believed it, let us declare that we do not believe it. But if we believe it let us work towards it.
55. Now, we have read that God spoke this word but not in vain, it can never come back to Him void. That you cannot attain it does not mean everybody will not attain it.
56. God said that it must be very, very rough. That is why He said, “Strive that you may enter”. Strive, which means “Gbanisieke” (try harder). God from the very beginning knew that it is not easy. Jesus the Christ confirmed that it is not easy. It is not an easy race.
57. Anybody that is giving you the heavenly race in a very soft way, giving you the impression that it is going to be soft and easy, run away from that man.
58. Check all the prophets of old, no man ever deceived any people by giving them the impression that it is all easy, no. It is full of thorns, obstacles, hills, mountains, valleys.
59. You keep on descending and climbing and coming to the point where you be falling and falling and falling, yet it is the road.
60. You will be doubting, “If this is the road, why am I suffering hardship?”
61. It is the road. A call to salvation is a call to suffering. A call to come and die that you may obtain a better resurrection.
62. Following Christ is never built on a bed of roses at all. Don’t allow what you see in the world to carry away your attention. Whatever you are seeing on the land are mere counterfeits.
63. Satan allowed them to spring up to war against the true Church. To war against the true Church. They are all agents of Roman Catholic. We are going into the full word proper, brethren.

SPIRITUAL MATURITY
First Peter 2:1-2. Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.
3. As new born babes, always constantly desire the word of God. Like little, little kids that are breast feeding now. You know without the breastfeeding they would emaciate. They would suffer kwashiorkor.
4. The same way the Lord wants us when we believe; when we say we believe. Remember Saint Paul was talking to the Church. He said, “Remember that we should wake up because our salvation draweth near unto us now than when we first believed.”
5. If there is any time salvation should be mentioned regularly, it is now. Because immediately after the civil war, many of them had gone, they are now tired.
6. Churches that strived many, many years ago have gone back into the world gradually. There was a time Deeper Life Church was shaking everywhere in Nigeria. Where is it today? It has gone away.
7. They are coming, they are failing. But there is going to be a little group that will run the last race and they will come first to fulfill the word “The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first”.
8. We are running last and we are coming first. This is the last ministry on earth. After this you cannot see another Christ Ministry. And we are the climax. There is no faith that would see our back and the zeal that is in us can never die down.
9. The time is short. We came at a very short hour. Midnight hour. The strength will be on, the life will be on, the zeal will be there. No time for compromise.
10. What is more, we came at a time when money has become useless. Economy useless. The things of the world cannot charm us again. So there is nothing left.
11. We came at a time when we have seen the foolishness of women. They are all putting on make-up; you can’t see any genuine woman again, except in the Body of Christ.
12. We have come to a point when we see a population that has grown to the point that there is family control.
13. Men are no longer desiring to marry. Nobody pays strict attention on marriage again. If you marry good, if you don’t marry better. Is it not Bible?
14. Thus when you look at the whole situation you will see that God allowed us to manifest at this time so that we can fulfill His Word: A quick work, a quick ministry that would turn the whole world up-side-down.
15. Check in all these big, big, big worldly denominations, if there be any that has ever made impact on the society again. They have all winded everything up in ecumenical movement. And they are just fading out with time. Going that way – worldly.
16. All Pentecostals are just a little higher than CMS. No other adjective to qualify them. But watch this ministry, the most holy Faith, if you are in this faith with all your heart, with all your being, you will prefer to die preaching this word; and every day it appears you have not done anything yet. Every day it appears you have not started.
17. Every blessed day would make you an unbeliever. Yes, every blessed day would make you a stark unbeliever.
18. What is the aim? For you to jump, keep on trying. No room for nonsense. No room at all. If you are in this Faith and you have room for nonsense, well I thank God for that.
19. Brother Onyema Njom, you look very cooperate today. I thank God you are not the only son of your mother because they feel disappointed with you now.
20. Your family, everybody will be feeling disappointed. This is the greatest shock your family has received. The death of your father was nothing. This is the greatest shock.
21. And every day, if there would be even the hardest part of the hell, they are praying that God would put both Elizabeth and her sister, Mary, God will punish them in the worst hell. Everybody will forgive them but your community will never forgive them. This is the greatest havoc.
22. Why? Because you never knew you were a child of God before. If you are a child of God, it is not now. You were a child of God but you didn’t know. You came and mixed with the people you saw in the world.
23. You know sons of God came and saw daughters of men that they were fair to look at. They admired them and went into marriage with them and they produced giants.
24. You never knew you were a son of God. You came and saw beautiful women and then you went after their beauty. But God came and called you back.
25. But when He is calling you back now, gradually as your Father He knows you very well. He told you what you will expect so that when the whole thing is happening, you don’t panic. You don’t faint. It is going back to the owner.
26. He told you to go and tell your people that you deceived them back then, that what they saw and were jumping up wasn’t your sweat; that you were riding on another man’s back. That those trailers and 911 and motorcycles and shops, everywhere Onyema, Onyema, Onyema Onyema, it was his master’s money.
27. Your God has told you that He will get rid of every kobo; and then to the last kobo. That it will get to a point even to eat, you will kneel down three times in a day.
28. And after getting rid of it, He will now establish you in His own way. That is what our God said. God is mindful of His own.
29. Brethren, God is saying that we should grow. The essence of giving a child milk is for nourishment and growth.
30. Then it is expected that the child will grow to a point where nobody will give that child milk again. The child will come to adolescence. He will become a full grown adult to fend for himself.
31. Like all of us here, can we go to our mother after sucking her breast again? No. Can we do that? No. Why? Simply because we are now adults.
32. Can we see little children scrambling for food and then we will be scrambling for food with them? No sir.
33. We can now endure hardship. We can endure hunger. Endure trials, sunshine, rainfall and all other things because we are now trying to fend for ourselves. Nobody is depending on his father or mother now.
34. In other words, they have washed off their hands. Bear that in mind because we are getting somewhere. Don’t allow this message to fly off.
35. Now as new born babes, we should desire this milk so that we would grow.
36. Hebrews Chapter 6 from verse one through six,the Lord said, “Therefore leaving the elementary doctrines of the principles of Jesus Christ, let us grow unto perfection.”
37. Now, have I not interpreted it there? The essence of that milk is for you to grow. And then when you are growing, you will not grow forever. There is a standard set for you. There is a height set for all of us. That growing is not a condition for one man.
38. The Bible said, “Until we all come to the same unity of faith. Unto the fullness of the nature of the stature of Christ.
39. Now Hebrews is confirming; Christ is confirming it that we will all grow and we will stop it at perfection.
40. When you grow and you match perfection, you know you have finished your growth. This time around I am saying that that goal which is set before us which Saint Paul saw and said “Let us run the race that is set before us with patience; Let us forsake all these things, let us run towards the mark.
41. Let us aim at wining the prize, the trophy. The mark, the target set for heavenly race is perfection.
42. It is just like in a race, everybody is running, there must be an umpire or referee somewhere. You don’t just hear whistle PIAM, and then you run and run and run, no ending, even if you are a cheetah.
43. There is a place somebody will run, you touch that thing, the race will stop.
44. Saint Paul touched it. All the Prophets touched it, and when they touched it heaven opened.
45. Philip touched it, heaven opened. Saint Paul didn’t run forever. When he ran, ran, ran and reached that one he stopped and then he was almost every time conditioning, comforting the brethren.
46. Peter ran and met him and then he started comforting the brethren saying “Shortly, I will leave this body”.
47. Because he has touched it, Saint Paul reached it and said, “One day I will leave this place– and while I was coming I saw a man that went into the higher heaven.”
48. He saw it, he said, “I have ran the race, I have finished it, I have kept the faith. I fought a good fight,” which means according Saint Paul, he had finished the whole thing.
49. Now, what remains is the crown the Lord would give him. From A to Z, I have kept all. Now who among you will tell us all that the Lord told us from Pentecost, from Holy Ghost and His Necessity for Holy Ghost Baptism and you come before God and say, “Thank God, I have ran a very good race. I have kept the faith; I have fought a good fight?”
50. If we cannot say so now and we are hearing that Translation is about to take place, it then means it is not for us. It then means we are running as foolish virgins who lost the opportunity they should have used in attaining perfection. They used it in another thing.
51. If this message I am preaching is strange to you, please stop listening. If I notice this message that I am preaching is not sinking, I will stop it and go back to another thing.
52. I am saying that this is not the message you will start distributing, that it is for Brother Simon or Brother James.
53. The Bible say, “until we all”. You don’t say, “Thank God I am weaker vessel.” No!
54. Sister, the same standard for a brother is the standard for a sister because in the Church there is equality.
55. You don’t say ‘thank God I am a weaker vessel, my husband, my this…” No! In Christ there is no husband or wife; until we all come in the unity of the faith, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
56. 1 Cor 13:11, “When I was a child…”
57. When I was what? A child. Saint Paul filled with the power of Holy Spirit. When I was a child, which means Saint Paul can now recognize that there was a time he was just a mere child, drinking milk only, every day ice cream, ice cream.
58. I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man…
59. When I did what? Became a man, not a boy, he didn’t continue in boyhood. One day he graduated and became a man. Now we talk as man to man, not as boy to boy.
60. I was listening to a message, he said, “Boys don’t worship God. Even girls don’t worship God. It must be men and women with revelation.”
61. When I became a man, I developed back bone, I developed boldness and utterance, man-die-go. Can a man die two times? No. Who will not die?
62. Just as I am here now, I am feeding myself, taking care of myself, I am not depending on my parents. Why should they dictate to me how I should live my life again? Am I accountable to them? I am now a man!
63. Now if I don’t tell myself the truth now, it means I am fooling myself. A fool at forty is a fool forever.
64. Nobody brought me into this Church. You heard the message, you believed it, you came in. Simple and sure. Then you are following Christ as a man, not as a boy.
65. You said, “All that the Lord will say, I will do.” Then you continued. “Because I am a man I am not afraid of taking decision whether good or wrong.”
66. He said, “History will never, never forget me if I don’t take a decision. But history will exonerate me if I take wrong decision.” That is a wise man.
67. But this time, Decision to follow Christ is the first decision. And the right decision anyone can make. Why should I regret? No regrets!
68. If I die, let me die! If I perish, let me perish! As for drawing back, no! it is too late, nobody forced me in. Any day I am tired I will simply move away.
69. If you are a man, you must come to that level of truth, when you make your choice, you feel you have made the wrong choices, that you are not in the right place, simply carry your bag and leave us! You are man enough! You are a woman enough. Don’t come here and be suppressing your feelings and be managing. Stop managing; we are either right or wrong. Stop managing.
70. When I was a child, I behave like a child, talk like a child, do like a child but when I became a man, I put away all childishness.
71. But till today it appears many of us are still carrying a lot of childish act, childish character. With your childish act you can never attain perfection.
72. Perfection is for men. Perfection is for women. It is not for girls that will reason like little, little babies. Not for young, young boys that will reason like kids.
73. Now that you believe that God is ever mindful of His Words, now believe with me that God cannot change His Words because of me, He can’t change it because of you.
74. That my weakness can never change the mind of God, your weakness can never change it. God never consulted any of us before He said it.
75. Since you know you cannot change a situation, why are you trying to sort it out?
76. I will say anything a man is not capable of changing, be part of it. You know you cannot change it, this is the word of God, this is the word of the Kingdom and you are part of the Kingdom, you can’t change it.
77. Now adjust become part of it. When it is hard, become harder. A wise man is measured by his ability to adapt to change. Any condition, to a wise man when the going become tough, you become tougher.
78. Now the going has become very tough. Now the wise man is becoming tougher and tougher, that is the only way you can overcome. Not when you are growing, you start with milk, continued with milk, but one day you are given pap. It appeared he is the one that poisoned you.
79. One day you will change from pap to solid food; from solid food you will be eating roasted yam.
80. There are some people in this faith that when you give them yam to cook, they will start from the bottom of it.
81. I know that some of you today somebody like sister Ngozi, you can give them yam they will start at the bottom. But to a wise man, when he starts cooking, he starts from the head.
82. But a wise woman would rather go to hard, hard truths. What am I saying? No matter how this message has become strong to you, go and buy very strong pestle so that you will hit it, hit it, cook it and then eat it.
83. The emphasis lies on eating the yam. We don’t care whether you roasted it, whether you fried it, whether you boiled it. I am laying emphasis on making sure that the whole yam is in your stomach, no matter the style you want to make it, make it but make sure you put it in your stomach. That is the emphasis.
84. I don’t care whether you are believing from mixed-multitude or you are believing from adoption. Whether you heard from the top or you heard from the toe, empty the whole thing into your stomach.
85. But if you are wise, you will start from the present. We are no longer in the time of looking back; we are now consolidating our positions. We are stabilizing our position.
86. In other words, perfection must be stabilized. Let me tell you one thing with perfection, when you attain perfection, maybe you are in a family, every other member of the family that has not attained perfection, you look at them as unbeliever.
87. See the problem, the same way you treat heathens is the same way you treat them. But their countenances would change within their minds because the way you are seeing something is not the way it is.
88. Their reaction over matters will not be your reaction over matters because you have attained perfection. And nothing will ever shake you in any condition. Your life is stabilized. That is what perfection is all about.
89. If you’re a man or a woman, please underline this fact, I am not the one that is demanding perfection from you, it is a condition you must all attain in spiritual race for you to be Translated. It is a must for all believers.
90. Don’t judge believers from what you see in the world, they are not believers. They are not God’s people.
91. Everybody may carry Bible and go to Church but the covenant remains with us.
92. Moab worshiped the same God in the same way but there was no covenant with them. Ishmael worshiped God but there was no covenant with Ishmael. The covenant was with Isaac.
93. Thus, don’t allow carrying of Bible and going to Church to deceive you.
94. Now, God is not talking to the world, He is talking to you, He is talking to I. The place where God started the move is the first place He expect people to attain perfection.
95. In other words, anybody coming into our midst will be seeing a finished work. The Bride must make herself ready before Translation. Thus, perfection is a condition, so put away childish things.
On this note, I say remain in your sanctified estate, remain blessed in Him eternally.
