BEWARE OF MURMURING AND COMPLAINING AGAINST GOD. IT IS A NAKED MANIFSETION OF UNBELIEF (VOLUME 2) COMPILED BY PASTOR EMMANUEL INNAH ON TUESDAY, 8TH JULY, 2021 AT THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD CALABAR, CROSS RIVERS STATE, NIGERIA.
AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED BY APOSTLE PETRE ODOEMENA (THE SON OF MAN)
Go and drive it down, that whether they like it or not, if they must be with me in eternity, they must obey all these commandments to the letter. They must obey all these commandments to the last. Go and tell them that I take delight in them obeying my words than to receive sacrifices from anybody.

BEWARE OF MURMURING AGAINST GOD (1)
Jesus told the people in His day that He is the bread of life, the true manner that came down from heaven. Instead of investigating his claims in attempt to know the truth, they retorted, look at this small boy that we know the day he was born, coming now to tell us that he is the bread that came down from heaven.
2. This boy must be crazy, are you sure, he is normal? In fact, he is possessed. They murmured and that resulted in their condemnation.
3. John 6:41-43 “41Jews then murmured at Him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
4. 42And they said, is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he said, I came down from heaven?
5. 43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them murmur not among yourselves.44 no man come to me, except the father which hath sent me draw him: and will raise him up at the last day.
6. ‘If you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins, instead of believing, they murmured. They made themselves judges over Him, judging his actions and utterances.
7. The same thing is happening today among us. Almighty God said, ‘They will believe when it is too late, when their believing will longer offer them the desired salvation that comes from God.’ Remember that the Jews believed Jesus when it was too late.
8. They murmured because they want God to dance to their tune, which is impossible. Brothers’, murmuring against God has it awful consequence.
9. Note this one thing from Archaeological Writings Of The Sanhedrin And Talmud of The Jews vol.2 chapter viii paragraph 96.
10. The Egyptian replied: obedience was the only evident of faith. Of course, if a man had no evidence of a thing, it would be prime evidence that he did not have the things itself.
11. Your implicit obedience to the word of God is the evidence of your faith in God.
12. Let us go further toEpistle 14 chapter 1:9-10 ofThe Great Sermon And Holy Spirit Inspired Revelation And Epistle Revised Edition 2019.
13. “The father never sealed two persons but He only sealed one. It therefore behooved on that one He has sealed to now adopt many to Himself.”
14. From the beginning the people of God had been pointed to one person who God has chosen for their day.
15. Murmuring and grumbling against this God-man; the revealed Christ of your day has it dangerous consequences.
16. Your inability to take Him at his word, your insincerity, your stubbornness, disobedience sterns from your murmuring against Him. I mean that, your stubbornness and disobedience to his words came as a result of your murmuring against God.
17. The Jews and Jewess in our midst are doing the same thing today. Murmuring and complaining against the God of our day.
18. The Words Of Our Fathers Are The Words Of Wisdom volume 2 preached 2nd May, 2021 page 110 verse 44.
19. I have never ceased from alerting you, teaching, warning, admonishing, encouraging; everything is revealed, so that when you are stubborn and disobedient, you will know the divine personality you are proving your stubbornness to. You are giving Him reasons to get you destroyed or out of the way.
20. When you are proving stubborn and murmuring and you don’t want to change, you are giving God reasons why He should destroy you.
21. BEWARE OF STUBBORNNESS VOLUME 1 PREACHED ON 2ND DECEMBER 2018 PAGE 85 VERSE 74-78
22. So, strangers are always in the majority. God knew it and said, please do not listen to the voices of the strangers. When you go to the book of Numbers, it said, there in the wilderness, strangers stirred up murmuring against Moses and Aaron.
23. Who stirred up rebellion, murmuring? The bible said, strangers because they were in the majority. So, be very careful.
24. Murmuring and complaining, I have visited that one, I will not go there again. Attributes of strangers, if you go there, you will see attributes of strangers. You will see the attributes of church goers. You will see how we know them.
25. Murmuring and complaining every time, wherever you meet them, murmuring and complaining.
26. “Weather hard”, this and that. If he does not complain about children, he will complain about his work, complain about his house, everywhere, as if he is the only person having problem
27. Note it very well that a hypocrite is a murmurer.
28. (WHO IS THIS MAN (THE SON OF MAN)? (THE PAINS OF LABOUR AND THE JOY OF DELIVERY) PART 1 VOL. 2 Page 93 verse44-47 preached on 8th May, 2016. Page 97 verse 59-60.
29. Open attack on the Son of Man is a direct attack on God. How many believe that? Do you believe it to be true? Whatever treatment you are giving the Son of Man, get ready, you are giving it directly to God.
30. If you are murmuring against the vessel God has ordained in your day for salvation, you are doomed. If you murmur and complain against God, be sure, you will not go unpunished.
31. FOLLOW THE CLOUD “EVDIENCE THAT THE SON OF MAN IS THE ELOHIM” VOL. 2 page 71 verse 59 preached on 14th September, 2003)
32. Watch all that see this faith as a social club; if we do not meet their demands, you see them murmuring and complaining, calling us wicked people as if we promised you that we would buy a car for you or build a house for you or when you come to us, all your problems will be solved. Did we promised you that?
33. If you start grumbling and grudging, the Lord must surely judge you. When you find fault with the man God has sealed and sent for your salvation, you have judged the man, God will judge and finish you.
34. In every exodus, people are bound to murmur against the God sent man; Christ of their day and the awful consequence is the destruction of the people found guilty. The consequence of murmuring and complaining against God has it disastrous end brethren.
35. FOLLOW THE CLOUD “EVDIENCE THAT THE SON OF MAN IS THE ELOHIM” VOL. 2 page 115 verse 58 -62 preached on 14th September, 2003
36. 58God was not pleased with them because there, they started murmuring and complaining against God and they became fornicator by joining themselves with other nations worshipping other gods and God was not pleased.
37. 59 These things happen unto them for example and are written down for a warning unto us, for we are living at a time when the end shall come.
38. “For this reason, let him that thinketh he standeth be very careful, lest he fall.” That is all.
39. 61 So, it is a warning. You can be in this Faith seeing all these things; enjoying all these, yet God is not pleased with you. Find out why God is not pleased with you. If you do not find out why, there is no remedy.
40. 62If you do not find out why, God must overthrow you in this race. God must stop you whether you like it or not, no matter your position because you have not taken time to find out why God is not pleased with you. Go ahead murmuring and complaining.
41. Currently, Almighty God is searching out the murmurers and hypocrites. These murmurers, God must fish them out even right in their homes.
42. For the scripture said, “your sin must find you out. If you do not stop murmuring against God and keep to His words, your sin must surely find you out”.
43. Number 32:23 “But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out. KJV
44. Almighty is searching the entire Bride to see those that are not obeying His words; those take his words as a word of a mere man. Whosoever that justifies himself is foolish, but he that is justified by God is wise. Christ is the justifier.
45. Watch murmurers they are time programmed believers. They are impatient. If the promise of God delays by their own assessment, they will say God is a failure.
46. You may be saying it in your heart, that is a sign of murmuring, and it will come out because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
47. Murmuring against the Almighty God marks you out of the salvation Christ gives in your day.
48. Many among the elders and their families have wondered out of the way of truth. They have become scoffers, mocking God, and their worship is no longer acceptable in the sight of God, for they are mere human sensation of worship.
49. They have been completely swallowed by the affairs of the world thereby becoming habitual murmurers. Whatever that is happening in our midst today cannot profit he that is murmuring against God.
50. Look at the children of Israel upon all the great signs and wonders that God did in their midst, that made them to say “We will not worship any other God but this God. We will identify in the word, we will make it our absolute”, yet they murmured against the God of their day.
51. God that is in Moses marked them out without them knowing. They were still having fellowship in their homes shouting upon the name of God yet they have been earmarked for destruction.
52. Brethren, many have left the faith of Christ both physically and spiritually. You can be in the Bride of Christ Ministry having fellowship with your family but not in the Faith of Christ. Murmuring against God is visible manifestation of stubbornness and rebellion before God and that is idolatry.
53. A murmurer is an ungodly fellow. Let me tell you, when you are murmuring against God, you are a rebellious fellow. You are rebelling against God’s providence.
54. If you yield yourself to the spirit of murmuring or complaining, you will live that way. But when you yield to the spirit of Christ that is ministering life to you, you will escape the awful implications of murmuring.
55. AFTER ME COMETH NO OTHER volume 2 preached on 9th DECEMBER, 2018 page 19 verse 42-44)
56. 16These people are (habitual) murmurers,… They are not ordinary murmurers. If the person is a Sister, she is Sister Murmurer. Brother Murmurer. Habitual Murmurers! Constant complainants.
57. 44. You think murmuring is a light thing? Was it not the sin which made God to destroy the Jews in the wilderness? And He said you should learn a lesson from what happened to them and in spite of that, people are still murmuring.
58. You are stubborn. You murmur and you complain, what do you call it? Stubbornness. Your refusal to change is what? Stubbornness.IS NOT KNOWING GOD THAT GIVES SALVATION PREACHED 18TH DEC. 2018, PAGE 5:2-3 AND 43:6
59. EVALUATE YOURSELF PART1 VOLUME 2PAGE 144 VERSE 32 PREACHED ON SUNDAY 29TH MARCH,2020
60. 32. Remember the point where we are now. When God gives you His Words and you start grudging, murmuring and be saying this and that, He will give you your own heart desire. Is that the mind of God?
61. God hand you over to a reprobate mind, a mind that is even lower than that of the beast and you will become destructive to yourself.
62. HEAVEN MADE POSSIBLE VOL.1 PAGE 48 VERSE 40 PREACHED 19TH APRIL, 2020
63. 40.So at that point where you are bearing grudge, murmuring against that Revealed Christ of your day, you have marked yourself out of that salvation plan of God.
64. Murmuring marks you out of the salvation plan of God. Your spiritual connection to Almighty God has been broken the moment you murmur against God.
65. When they murmured, God took an oath without their knowledge.
66. 51. Numbers 14:20-31, “And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
67. 52. Surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed.
68. You see, in spite of this, they believed not In His words, rather they murmured in their tents. They changed the style. It was no longer public murmuring. It is now tent murmuring, bedroom murmuring. All of them murmuring in their tents. Murmuring was no longer in the church.
69. 51Numbers 14:20-31, “And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
70. 52 Surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereunto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
71. 53. (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
72. 54. How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
73. 55. Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
74. 56Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
75. 57But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.” KJV.
76. 58The Lord took an oath, “As long as I live, all of them that have murmured against me, that put me to test in the wilderness, all that are twenty years of age and above, all that have attained twenty years of age and above, they will never see my Promised Land. They will never enter.” (Mix Multitude Part 2 pg. 29 vs 51-58 preached on 5th march 1993 at the household of God Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena the son of man, the Supreme intelligence)
Remember that it is a criminal act to disbelieve God. It is a criminal act to walk contrary to the truth that is evidently set before your eyes; a criminal act to challenge God’s authority; a criminal act to rebel against God. Every disobedience is a rebellion in the sight of God.

BEWARE OF MURMURING AGAINST GOD (2)
1. Follow me to the message “OUR FATHERS DID NOT GET THE LAND BY THEIR POWERS VOL. 2 PREACHED 12TH NOVEMBER,1998 PAGE 47 VERSE 40-41
2. 40“Anything that will bring murmuring and complaining, remove it. It was at this point that murmuring and complaining manifested heavily. All that murmured and complained against Moses, they all perished. Kadesh-barnea is a dangerous place, a place where you will stay and look at your destination point.
3. Any person that is making a long journey, who travelled all the way and died at a point he could just watch and see the place he is going, died the most miserable death.
4. And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord, for He hears your murmuringagainst the Lord. For what are we, that your murmur against us?
5. 8And Moses said, This will happen when the Lord gives you in the morning bread to full, because the Lord has heard your grumblings which you murmur against Him; what are not against us, but against the Lord.
6. The Almighty God in our midst had heard your murmuring against Him. Instead of repenting from your evil ways, you are complaining and murmuring in your tents. He said, He has heard all your complaints and that He will visit you according to your complaints.
7. Remember that any treatment you give to the Son of Man you are giving it to God. You neglect His instructions; you are neglecting God’s word, for He is the embodiment of all that God is made up of. He is the creator of heaven and earth, the Supreme God.
8. When you reject a man God sent in your day, for your salvation, you have rejected the salvation God provided in your own day. The Bible said “when the people of Israel rejected Prophet Samuel; they rejected God”.
NOTE: DISOBEY HIM AND LOSE YOUR IMMUNITY. –SON OF MAN-
9. 1 Samuel 8:6-7, 9 “But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 9Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
10. The people rejected God’s rule over them. They want to have their way, behave like other nations, which God warned them never to copy their way of life. God gave them their heart desires when they insisted in having their own way.
11. You may be here and you want to have your way. You want to live your life like that of the people in the world. Well, congratulations, God will give you your way and that your way will lead you to destruction.
12. But remember that at any point in time, that you reject the messages that are coming to you from the throne of grace, from the king of Glory, the fountain of Living Water, who is no other personality than Apostle Peter Odoemena; the Deity in human form, another king, the Devil will take over your life who will lead you according to your heart desire straight to hell.
13. Rejecting the king of Glory means setting the words of this God-man, His teachings, setting his doctrines aside, and then allowing your useless philosophy that runs contrary to the revealed truth to rule and have dominion over your life.
14. Psalm 78: 17-19 “Yet they still went on to sin against Him by provoking and rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness in the land of drought. 18And they tempted God in their hearts by asking for food according to their selfish desire and appetite. 19Yes, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish the food for a table in the wilderness. AMP
15. The people tried to get their own way with God, clamouring for favour and special attention. You put God to test when you walk contrary to His instructions. Can you stand when God accept such a challenge?
16. Beware of rebellious instinct in a man was a message given to us by Almighty God. Be careful; be cautious of this negligible but dangerous trait, for it originates from the Devil who from the beginning has always been the leader of rebellion.
17. Brethren, because of rebellious instinct in man, man has never yielded or submitted to the authority of the word of God. It has caused man to challenge the Divine leadership of the Lord of Host.
18. When you prefer being independent, you want to have your way, refusing to be subjected to the authority of the word of God and you do not want to be told what to do, rather you want to be the leader, you are a rebellious fellow.
19. Remember that a rebel hates to be retrained in any way. He or she lacks the fear of God, and can go on at any length to do evil without restraint. Over protection of self–ego is major attribute of a rebel.
20. 1Corinthians 10: 10 “Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
21. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. KJV
22. And don’t grumble as some of them did, for that is why God sent his angel of death to destroy them.
23. All these events happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us, who live at the time when this age is drawing to a close. NLT
24. Lord Shall Judge and Vindicate His People volume 2 preached on Sunday 11th February, 2018 at the household of God Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena we read from page 32 verse 8-9.
25. 8. “….How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me?”
26. 9.Which does what? Murmur against Me. Can you imagine? What brought about murmuring? Who stirred it up? Murmuring is rebellion. Mixed multitude, strangers that mingled with the real children of God and refused to go, refused to change. Some of them [strangers] gained prominence even among them. Yes!
27. We continue on page 34 verse 14 through 18 14“I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel,…”
28. 15.I have heard what? The murmurings of the children of Israel. Who heard it? Were they using loud speakers to announce it? They were murmuring in their tents. They were murmuring in their hearts and the LORD heard it. Go back to the Message titled THE INNER VOICE.
29. 16.Murmuring! How many are free from murmuring here, even murmuring against God? How many are free. This is the judgment. And the LORD will recompense. He will compensate.
30. 17. “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmured against me.”
31. 18Which they murmured against God. You see, these people were not afraid. The book of Jude described them as ravening wolves, who are never afraid of dignitaries, for they speak of things they know not and even speak evil of dignitaries.
32. They murmured against God. Can you imagine a human being God came to help was murmuring against One that came to help him out?
33. Page 38 verse 31- 33 31 “…Say unto them,…” Say unto them.
34. 32“As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:…”
35. 33As you have spoken into my ears, so shall I do to you. If you know all the murmurings you have been murmuring in your hearts against Me, which I have heard with My ears, that is the same way I will deal with you. I will recompense you. The same cup you measure unto Me, I will measure it back.
36. Page 48 verse 27-28 27They began to draw converts unto themselves, the people, not knowing that they were perishing. Do you think it is a light thing to murmur against God’s chosen One? Do you think it is a light thing?
37. Page 54 verse 46 46.All of you that think it is light to murmur even against God, you have jeopardized the chances of your salvation.
38. Note the word I have used. JEOPARDIZED. You have made it increasingly difficult for Me to shift because I warned you from the beginning.
39. Page 60 verse 66 66.This is our judgment, murmurers, complainers, rebels that think it light to open their mouths so wide even against God, that think it wise even to murmur in their hearts against The Almighty God that brought them into existence, think it right to stir up strife and rebellion among God’s people, even biasing their minds. God’s people may not know that these people are numbered among the strangers.
40. Page 63 verse 3 to 6 3Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God: And ye murmured in your tents,…”
41. 4They did what? They, first of all, rebelled against the commandments of the LORD. Then, in their houses, in their tents, these same strangers, mixed multitudes, they changed style. Problem now changed hands. Murmuring has changed from the congregations to their tents.
42. 5Whoever that comes to their house must get a fair share of the murmuring. Problem has changed hands. They think that God is not present in their tents.
43. 6That which they were murmuring in the tents, the LORD also monitored, for the searchlight of God is everywhere. His eye and ears run to and fro all over the earth and He is a silent listener to every secret conversation.
44. Page 88 verse 33 -36 33.1 Corinthians 10:9-11 LB “And don’t try the Lord’s patience—they did and died from snake bites. And don’t murmur against God and his dealings with you as some of them did,…”
45. 34.Do not murmur against God and His dealings with you.
46. 35.“And don’t murmur against God and his dealings with you as some of them did, for that is why God sent his Angel to destroy them.”
47. 36He sent His Angel to destroy them. If you go to that Angel, you will notice that the Angel turned out to be snakes. God used snakes as Angel. God can use anything as a messenger to deal with somebody who is rebellious.
48. 19. “…Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears,…”
WALK AFTER THE DICTATES OF CHRIST
49. Romans 8 verse 1, AMP. “THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.”
50. Page 102 verse 1-32How can you walk after the dictates of the Spirit and then be complaining and murmuring? Is it possible? Never! This is because murmuring and complaining, they are spirits. They are evil spirits.
51. 3Sometimes, you see the victim looking like one that has just been recently treated of madness, sitting alone and biting randomly at the lips, murmuring, the face filled with anger.
52. In the message “God Is Using Your Suffering To Make You Ready For The Kingdom” preached on 1st December, 2019
53. The Lord said, “You cannot worship God when you are envious, when you are complaining and murmuring, grumbling. When you are jealous over others. When you are always angry at everybody because of the condition you placed yourself.
54. Because you came in with wrong motive, you thought that when you identify with Christ, your troubles are over. You do not know that that marks the beginning of your troubles.
55. He went further to say, “I want you to begin to repent of these great blasphemies you have nursed in your heart, murmuring and complaining against God.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING I KNOW ABOUT GOD. GOD CAN NEVER KILL A MAN WITHOUT FIRST OF ALL HARDENING HIS HEART AGAINST HIM. WHEN GOD WANTS TO KILL A MAN, HE WILL HARDEN THE HEART OF THAT MAN AGAINST HIMSELF. GOD WILL CLOSE HIS EARS THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR INSTRUCTIONS WHEN YOU SEE THIS HAPPENING, KNOW THAT GOD IS POISED TO DESTROY. I SAY KNOW THAT GOD IS POISED TO DESTROY

YOUR PERSONAL INTERPRETATION OF THE WORD OF GOD DETACHES YOU FROM THE GODHEAD.
What brought about this murmuring is your personal interpretation you gave to the messages you have received. It was the personal interpretation Dathan, Abiram, and Korah gave to Moses’ message that brought about murmuring and complaining against Moses.
2. They claimed they knew more than Moses, holier and more spiritual than Moses but at the end God humiliated them before the entire congregation of Israel.
3. In the message “GOD HATES LOTTERY BUSINESS-FIX YOUR EYES ON HIM” preached on 31st October, 2001 and 30th January 2016 at the Household of God Onitsha, and Son of Man’s Family Altar respectively by Apostle Peter Odoemena the Son of Man. page 60 verses 6 through 13
4. 6It is absolutely wrong for people to begin to speak evil of Moses, telling him that he never knew the way. If you knew the way, you could have been the leader.
5. 7Whatever interpretation you are giving the message, instead of fixing your eyes on Him, depending on Him, relying on Him, it is your personal wrong interpretation that is detaching you from Him and that interpretation, that vision, that definition, whatever that thing might be which you conjured in your heart detaches you from Him, that is the interpretation that destroys you because the moment you are detached, you are no longer with him and from that day you are no longer with him, that is the point you are abandoned, and you can never find your way back, for Moses cannot wait for you. There is no way he can wait for you.
6. 8What was placed before them was Moses and there was somebody before Moses guiding him in the way he should go. When he went to the pulpit, the supernatural was the one leading.
7. When he provided light to the camp in the night, supplied their needs using the man Moses to meet their needs, they could not see the whole thing whenever any sign happens, they could not see it as a stop sign.
8. Verse 10. 10 In the case of Moses, he received a smaller ministry. The ministry was to take them out of Egypt. He was not even to take them across Jordan for that was another ministry altogether. He was just to take them out of the land of bondage, out of the land of Egypt and then cross the Red Sea, and stop.
9. 11 When he took them there he erected an altar, that was all, but to cross Jordan into Canaan was not his calling.
10. 12 Look at his own, a little distance from Egypt to Canaan. Let’s join Joshua and Caleb, it is just a short distance from Egypt to Canaan but the Son of man received a commission to take this message round the globe.
11. 13 To Saint Paul his own was to go to a place where God would show him, and to show him what he will suffer, immediately he proceeded to Asian Minor through Saudi Arabia.
12. But to the Son of Man, He gave Him an everlasting commission that will cut across all nations, language barriers that will encircle the whole earth.
13. 25 Then where is the spirit of interpreting the message that has interpreted itself. When he said let there be light and light came out, you begin to interpret light, you begin to interpret the brain behind the light appearing when the interpretation has already interpreted the statement.
14. It is that your interpretation, that revelation which is personal to you; that detaches you from the Masterpiece; that one that detaches you from the Master is your destroyer.
15. When you claim that you know more than your leader; that you have a higher revelation than the vessel God chose to dwell in your day, you start murmuring and complaining.
16. Can you have more revelation than He that gave you the revelation? The hidden revealer? Can you be wiser than He that gave you the wisdom?
17. If those that murmured and complained against Moses were punished without mercy, just think how much more punishment will be to those that murmured and complained against He that is greater than Moses, Abraham, Solomon, Jesus and Paul. Indeed it a terrible thing to be on the wrong side of the living God.
18. 26 Many are going to be destroyed not by God but by themselves. It is not compulsory that you must accept whatever the masterpiece is giving you but the choice is yours.
19. You have the right to murmur and complain against God, but can you withstand him when he shall arise?
20. Page 81 verse 1-3. When Moses was to count his followers, Dathan, Korah and Abiram will not be there for it was the interpretation they gave the message that brought about the rebellion.
21. 2The interpretation they were giving to Moses brought about the rebellion: “Are you the only one God is talking to? And they started finding fault where there was no fault. The interpretation now became their disaster.
22. 3In the case of Saint Paul the same thing happened. They said to Paul, “We know you very well, sneaky man. Do you want to tell us that in all these missionary journey you were making, that you were not making money from all these missionary journey?”
23. Have you seen it? They were murmuring against St. Paul, accusing him of making money from the gospel. To them preaching of the gospel is means of making money.
24. 4Look at the interpretation, for that reason they detached from God because they thought God was duping them, that God was using the faith to make money, you see why they detached.
25. You see the feelings of their minds which had no truth, which they cannot even substantiate and they detached from the masterpiece.
26. Then what happened? Seeing that they could not believe, they counted themselves unworthy of everlasting life, it is not God that counted them unworthy, they declared themselves unworthy because of their personal revelations, feelings, interpretation of actions which had already been interpreted by God in the message titled “Believing God.”
27. William Braham said that God didn’t call us to come and interpret but to come and believe. God called us to come and believe and that is why a believer believeth all things for God didn’t call you to come and interpret His message.
28. Who made you an interpreter, for God is the perfect Interpreter of His word. It is this interpretation that stopped them along the way and it detached them from the Masterpiece. Then your own clock will stop.
29. Page 78 verse 43-46. Think about it; find out the point where you have detached because of the imaginations of your heart, feeling of your mind, your own personal interpretations. Your revelations created many options: option of death, option of disappointment, but the true revelation from God confirms only but one option and that is this truth.
30. Every revelation from God affirms the truth. It will affirm the truth and confirm the truth, confirm the believers of the truth.
31. A revelation that does not confirm the believers of the truth is not from God. Remember we don’t have higher believer and lower believer.
32. At any point in time, you are either believing or not believing. And at that point where you are not believing you are not following. Amen.
33. They thought they have a higher revelation than Moses does, little did they know that they are empty barrel that makes noise. Look at them murmuring and complaining against the God of their day. Where did it led them to? To the grave.
34. Page 87 verse 14-15. Think about all these things. I thank God who gathered you here. I don’t know what prompted me.
35. Could be that there is somebody here who has volunteered to die, or could it be that somebody through his personal interpretations, feelings of the mind, opinions, revelations, has detached himself from the Masterpiece; thinking that he is walking with God, not knowing that he is in error and that he is on his way to destruction and have led their families away with the same personal interpretation which at the end would culminate into the same thing, it doesn’t matter, I don’t know.”
36. Note it; I do not speak in vain! A sign from God is a stop sign and when the sign comes, everybody stops there. Then we wait for instruction for there must be an instruction behind every sign. A sign without a message is not from God.
37. In that waiting time there must people who will be murmuring and complaining hence misinterpretation of the stop sign.
38. This is the time God is liberating His people from the hands of the devil. God is now in the business of separating the Saints from the church; the unbeliever, the chief murmurers and complainers. Note it that at the end of every exodus a separation must be made between the real child of God and self-acclaimed children of God. The sons and daughters of God do not murmur and complain against God. They take God at His word with their heart full of gladness.
39. This is the period of separation of real sons and daughters of God from the fake, counterfeit children of God. God is now separating His saint from Church goers, the hypocrite who are specialist in complaining and murmuring. For the shuck cannot be heir with the wheat.
40. RANDOM COMMENT VOL 2 page 53 v 11 preached on 27th March 2005
41. This is the era of spiritual emancipation and not mere social or physical emancipation but purely spiritual emancipation because when I liberate you spiritually, you can fight your fight through. You will not be in religious bondage any more. You will never live in fear for fear torments. Watch as many as are fearful they are always in torment.
42. Those that refuse God’s manumission, redemption are now living in fear. They do not know their fate in Christ.
43. These people were claiming that they are more intelligent and wise more than Christ their leader; their saviour. Now, the dice is cast, they are now living in fear.
44. They are regretting their actions they meted against Him, but will that save them? Repenting when it is too late.
45. John 8:38 “So if the Son of Man liberates you, makes you free man, then you are really and unquestionably free. Amp.
46. If the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena sets you free, you are free in deed. No fear of amazement by day or by night. You are sure and certain that you are heading to paradise.
47. Remain free in Him. Where you think you know more than Him, and that you know the way to paradise, well, I will say, ‘well done.’
48. RANDOM COMMENT FROM THE SON OF MAN VOL.4 PAGE 45 VERSE 7 PREACHED ON 10TH APRIL 2011.
49. Any day your righteousness exceeds that of the Son of Man, you are lost. Many in this Bridal faith are having problems.
50. Their problem is that their righteousness exceeds that of the Son of Man. You will not have problem with the faith until your righteousness begin to exceed that of the Son of Man.
51. Then the Son of man can no longer be your salvation. He can no longer be our saviour, for your righteousness is higher than his own.
52. How can mere man full of sin be more righteous than He that was born unto righteousness; the righteous branch; the God of righteousness. It is impossible.
The truth is that no true seed of God walks contrary to his instructions. Every true seed of God, even if he strays away, once he hears “come back”, he will come back, “sit down” he will sit down. He does not REBEL, he does not make noise, he does not COMPLAIN, he does not MURMUR, he takes God at his word…

THIS IS HOUR OF FINAL SPIRITUAL EMANCIPATION
Brethren this is the hour of final spiritual separation. And it is only those that have believed, relied, depended on and obeyed the Son of Man are purified, emancipated for Eternal salvation.
2. We continue with the message Detaching Yourself From Christ Means Removing Your Name From The Book Of Life page 58 verse 34 “only those who have already made their minds that they will dwell with God eternally will be free from the last days’ pollution, every other heartmust be polluted, except the true heart.”
3. When you have made up your mind to walk contrary to the truth you have been taught, when you have decided to live contrary to the truth, have you not decided to go to hell?
4. The easiest way to destroy yourself is by murmuring or complaining and grumbling against God, against the vessel He (God) is using in your day.
5. From the scriptures, one can discover that the greatest snare that faced the people in the wilderness was murmuring and complaining. Instead of depending, anchoring their faith in their leader, they retorted to murmuring. And they murmured over everything.
6. Watch one thing about murmuring, it always emanate from unbelief. It is evidently clear that murmuring comes from an unbelieving heart, unconverted heart. In other words, a murmurer is an unbeliever.
7. Unbelief is like a seed, if you water it, it will grow and the easiest way to water unbelief is by murmuring and complaining.
8. The ancient book of Gad the Seer said,‘Hearing is like the seed, but a deed shows that the seed has taken root in you. It then becomes a tree of belief, which produces the fruit of true righteousness.’
9. In the same vein, unbelief is like a seed, but murmuring and complaining which is naked manifestation of rebellion, unbelief, shows that the seed (unbelief) has taken root deep in your heart.
10. When you nurture this tree of unbelief, it produces rebellion, stubbornness, disobedience and such like deeds. What shows that the unbelief has taken its root in you is your character toward the word of God.
11. Brethren the easiest way to nurture unbelief is by complaining and murmuring. I am telling you the truth. Unbelief could be nurtured. The Bible said that faith cometh by constantly hearing the word of God, and if faith comes through listening to Christ’s words, then unbelief comes through neglecting and rejecting the word of God.
12. This is because before you trust or have faith in Christ you have to listen to the word of God, the Good News about Christ that came from the very lips of Christ himself.
13. Unless the word of God is preached, there is nothing to listen to that will create faith in you. The creative power of faith comes from the word of God.
14. Romans 17:10. AMP. ‘So faith comes by hearing what is told, and what is heard comes by the preaching of the message that came from the lips of Christ the Messiah Himself.
15. Romans 17:10 NLT ‘Yet faith comes from listening to this message of good news-the Good News about Christ.’
16. Again, the book of Gad The Seer said, if you grow in belief, you will be filled with gates of intelligence. But if you grow in unbelief, you will reach gates of impurity. So then, cleanse and purify yourself before the Lord, your king and it will be well with you all the days of your life.
17. If you grow in the faith of Christ, you will be filled with wisdom, for Christ is the wisdom of God. But if you fill your heart with evil, making your heart the home of unbelief then your heart will be the fountain of evil, a storehouse of all manners of evil instead of the seat of wisdom.
18. You can see that one can grow in unbelief. The moment one grows in unbelief he or she will become obstinate, unrepentant, hard-hearted sinner.
19. We go further to Numbers 11:1 “Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the Lord. And when the lord heard it His anger was kindled and the fire of the Lord burned among them.”
20. Who heard it? Almighty God heard it.
21. I Corinthians 10:6-11 “Now these things are examples (warnings and admonitions) for us not to desire or crave or covet or lust after evil and carnal things as they did” Amp.
22. This same thing could happen to us if we are not careful. Look at what they are lusting after: garlic, cucumber. Melon, desiring and indulging in evil practices. Is there anything good in garlic and cucumber? Can you compare these things with the manna that God supplied to them? Why is man always in opposing side? Always opposing the truththat will save him?
23. Watch in theGarden of Eden, Almighty God place two trees in the garden instead of the man to go for the tree of life, he rather went for the tree that causes his death. Even after been warned by God not to do so.
24. The aim of murmuring against a man of God in every dispensation has always been to frustrate the ministry of the man of God. They were likened to those that were complaining of hardship when they were not undergoing any hardship. They pretended that they were facing hardship.
25. Have you ever read where the scripture said that they suffered hardship? No! Rather the scripture made it clear that the Rock, the Rock of ages that was with them in the wilderness had been the one providing for them, the rock was their healer, everything. Their cloth never went threadbare. Where then is the basis of their murmuring and unbelief?
26. Dear Elect of God, God is the wisest being. He sent us home so as to severe us from the troubles of the murmurers, thereby preparing, fortifying and sanctifying the true elect.
27. Most of the time people murmur and complain, their aim is to seek for sympathy and self-pity. He wants you to see things the way he is seeing it.
28. How he is been maltreated or ridiculed and so on. Never be in sympathetic with any man or woman nor have self-pity but focus on the truth and the truth alone.
29. A critical look at this canker worm, one will discover that it emanated from unbelief, from unbelieving heart. And where murmuring exists faith vanishes.
30. In the messageArise And Eat For The Journey Is Still Too FarPreached on 6th November 1995 chapter 4 verse 24-28
31. Let me tell you, only one thing is remaining, henceforth many of them will speak to themselves in their hearts that they are tired of this journey that they won’t make it.
32. And by the time they will be saying it in their hearts the Lord had already concluded that as many of them that murmured in their hearts of going this way will never smell the rest with God.
33. Check the Bible, the Bible said that when they came to the wilderness, that God sent them to go and find the city and after seeing the city they saw the goodies in the land, they came and conspired and said let us tell Joshua and Caleb that the people there are like giants, that we cannot conquer them.
34. We will be like grasshopper in their side, we will just be like prey to them because the Bible said that they concluded in their heart that they are not going anywhere.
35. And before they finished their statements, the Lord had already vowed a vow and said that as surely as I live twenty years and above will never smell that promised land.
36. All that murmured, now you see the stage we are in now, if the Church crosses this stage they will go into murmuring because God is about to stumble people, God is about to make the last move for he cannot carry all this people to the rapture, because rapture is for the privileged few and there is no way God can stop people from going to rapture (translation) except by causing a stumbling block.
37. And he told us in prophecy ahead of time; He said, I am going to speak in diverse ways and I will place my last stumbling block.
38. Now from this evil confession, what will follow is murmuring and then from murmuring they will say that they are not going any longer that if rapture is like this, I think I better go to hell. If you want to go, go yourself. They won’t take instructions again; they will be breaking the covenants they made with God.
39. This is the next stage you are yet to expect in the Church but I am preparing my family in such a way that when the Church will go into form, they will be like Elijah desiring the sincere milk of the Word and growing therein, matching forward, taking enough food that will sustain them in the time of famine.
40. You are free to murmur, but then you are irrevocably subjected to the consequences of your murmuring against God.
41. Philippians 2:14 Do all things without grumbling and fault finding and complaining against God and questioning and doubting among yourselves…
42. Your misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the truth of God is really the joy of the devil who desire always to keep you in perpetual bondage and ignorant of the revealed truth that will save you. Yes, the devil comes to steal, to kill and destroy.
43. Verse 15. That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish faultless, unrebukable in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation, spiritually perverted and perverse, among whom you are seen as bright lights stars or beacons shinning out clearly in the dark world.
44. How can you be blameless, harmless, and spotless and shining light to the world when you are murmuring and complaining against every words that proceeds from the mouth of the Living God? Murmuring and complaining against something you cannot change will destroy you.
45. Remember this spiritual emancipation comes through the ministry of the word into people’s heart. The word of God or the truth effectually works in those who believe the word and the word does the transformation, does the emancipation.
46. When you consistently ingest the word of God into your life, it goes to work effectually in your life through liberating you from sin.
47. The message “The Potter And The Clay” Chapter one verse 15 through 16 preached on Tuesday 1st April, 2020 at bridal lodge, Nsugbe during family altar by Apostle Peter Odoemena the Son of Man the Righteous Judge said, 15Until you have taken it in the same way you take your daily food, the power in the Word cannot be made manifest in your life.
48. 16God’s power of transformation is vested in his word. Why do we eat? We eat to stay alive, but there are some who are alive only to eat. Is it a good way of life?
49. The word of God is imbued with life, and if we allow the word of God to be in us, this life will be made manifest in us. That is, the transforming power of the word will be made manifest in our lives.
50. Almighty God made it clear also in the circular of 25th June 2021 posted on the Bridal platform that there must be a transition from brethren to sainthood, thus:
51. In conclusion, “Brethren” will end any moment from now. Saints will continue from where “Brethren” stopped. I say, Saints of God will manifest from the “Brethren”.
52. The called out. The last move is sifting out the Saints from among the Brethren, for “Brethren” is very deceitful. “Brethren” has deceived many.
53. From the message of 29th May 2021 preached on Saturday morning altar by the Lord, titledMOSES MUST ACCUSE THIS GENERATION, The lord said, “I told you that in my attempt to do a good fishing, I have fished out too many things from the water that are not fishes.
54. Every fisherman that lowers his net in the river and pulls it out must pull out too many creatures that are not fish. Some of them might be very fearful and horrifying. They are animals living inside the water but they are not fish.
55. Although fishes are found living in the water, there are so many other water creatures there. That is why whenever the fisherman pulls out his net, he settled down to do a separation.
56. He is only interested in the fishes. No matter how small that fish might be, he is interested in it. It is part of the catch. He catches both small and big fishes. True or false.
57. Then other animals that are living in the water that were captured by the net, that were not the reason why the fisherman lower the net will be emptied back to the water to continue their life because they are good for nothing as far as the fisherman is concerned.
58. The water is the world. The real fishes are the children of God, other creatures in the water are human being that do not have God’s nature. Anything in the net that does not have the nature of a fish is a reject.
59. Though it lives in the water with the fishes, it will be rejected by the fisherman for that is not the essence of doing the fishing.
60. But no matter how tiny that fish might be, it will never escape the eye of the fisherman, for that is the essence of the fishing.
61. Can you learn a lesson from this analogy? Does it represent this faith? Does it apply to you in particular? You are the reason why Christ appeared in human form.
62. Only those who were His brethren in the spirit world will identify with Him.
63. Only those who have walked and talked with Him will know him, will embrace him; will say welcome. The rest will not, although they are human beings like you but they have different natures.
64. All human being do not have the same nature but whether we like it or not, of a certainty God’s children must have the same nature.
65. This is how we can do the separation rightly. So don’t query the Son of Man. He knows what he is doing. He announced all this things ahead of time. So, whatever that is happening had been predetermined.”
66. So your murmuring, your complaining, your criticism whether constructive or destructive makes no meaning to God.
67. From the same circular of 25th June, the Lord said, ‘Some fishes are in the river basin alive, active and kicking, while others are inactive and dead.
68. What killed those ones must be inside them and not inside the water that sustains others. The water that sustains every seed of God remains the word of God.
69. Why can’t the water that saved others save you, that he might sanctify and cleanse you with the washing of water by the word Ephesians 5:26?
70. How will the word save one that murmurs against it; one that refuses to put the word of God into practice in his or her daily life, giving reasons why he will not obey; one that specializes in murmuring and complaining at every single instruction?
71. Finally, dear Elect of God, I say beware of murmuring and complaining for there is no word muttered against God that will go for nothing, and remember that the mouth of the murmurer slays the soul.
72. Thank you for your patience, and May the good Lord (Apostle Peter Odoemena) whom we worship bless and sustain you to the end. Amen.
