BEWARE OF REBELLION WHICH IS WITCHCRAFT VOL.1
PREACHED BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE SUPREME JUDGE AT THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD, ONITSHA ON SUNDAY, 7TH OCTOBER 2018
HE THAT LOVES PLEASURE CAN NEVER PLEASE GOD
1. That is the only thing we can say to Him. Thank you LORD for saving us. Just follow Me as we sing only but one number from the Bridal Hymn Book.
2. Song: “Remember me O LORD. Remember me in your Kingdom”. You are all welcome to his presence this day. My joy is flowing like a River. I do not know about you. But I heard it with My ears that in everything, I should allow abundant joy to be in My heart to counter whatever the devil may bring on My way to cause me sadness and sorrow. He said I should allow abundant joy; so there must be storage of the joy; over-flowing one.
3. Song: “I have a joy like a river; joy like a river. Joy like a river in my soul. I have a joy like a river; joy like a river. Joy like a river in my soul”.
4. To God be the glory for everything He is doing before our eyes. Yes! I am on a Salvation Mission and whatever the Devil may place sideways, they are distractions I have no room for.
1
5. I told you from the beginning that the Son of Man has zero tolerance for all forms of distractions. Criticize Me if you can. Constructively or destructively, it is your right. Express it the way you want it for I owe you nothing but this life. Amen.
6. Song: “When I get home, when I get home, my sufferings will be over when I get home. When I get home, when I get home, temptations will be over when I get home. When I get home, when I get home, all trials shall be over when I get home. When I get home, when I get home, sickness will be over when I get home. When I get home, when I get home, all sufferings will be over when I get home”.
7. That disease or sickness that has resisted all medicaments must enter the grave, whether it likes it or not. If drugs, prayers cannot cure it, let the grave take care of it. Will it deter me from worshipping God? No! Does HE know about it? Yes!
8. IT MIGHT BE A PART OF THE WAY HE DESIGNED TO BRING ME BACK TO MY MAKER. THIS IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DRAW NEARER TO GOD IN THE TIMES OF SUFFERINGS MORE THAN IN THE TIMES OF PLEASURE. PLEASURE THROWS PEOPLE FAR AWAY FROM GOD.
9. THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE SAID, “WHOSOEVER THAT LIKES TO LIVE IN PLEASURE CAN NEVER PLEASE GOD, FOR HIS HEART IS FIXED ON MATERIAL THINGS.” AND I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO ALL OF YOU. THIS EARTH IS MEANT FOR PILGRIMS AND STRANGERS. HEAVEN IS OUR FINAL ABODE.
10. Song: “This world is not my home. I am just passing through. My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blues. The Angels beckon me from Heaven’s open door and I can’t feel at home in this world anymore. O LORD you know I have no friend like you. If Heaven is not my home, where else then will I go? The Angels beckon me from Heaven’s open door and I can’t feel at home in this world anymore”.
11. ANYBODY THAT IS FEELING COMFORTABLE IN THIS WORLD AS IT IS, IS A PART OF THIS WORLD. BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN. IF YOU ARE FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING, YOU ARE A PART OF IT, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
12. The Apostles came to the point where the world was no longer a desirable place. They were desiring to pass on and be with the LORD, instead of remaining in this planet earth. So, the earth is meant for pilgrims and strangers. Heaven is our abode.
13. Song: “Where is my joy? Heaven is where joy is. Where is my hope? Heaven is where My hope is. Where we will have rest. Heaven is where we will have rest”.
14. In this world, you must have troubles. It is only in Paradise that you have your rest. There is no competition there. There is no scoffer. There is nothing to annoy. Nothing will provoke you to anger or wrath. Nothing, nothing. And that is where we are heading to.
15. And I say, “God! Whenever the Saints will be marching in, let Me be numbered among them. That is all. Let me be there.
16. Song: “The wealth of this world is vanity. The wealth of this world will perish. The Word of God will stand forever and ever. The Word of My Father will stand forever and ever. The Naira and kobo will perish. All mansions will perish. All vehicles on land will perish. All the ships of the sea will perish. How about all aircrafts? All that the eyes can see will perish. The Word of My Father will stand forever and ever”.
17. That is why, wherever your treasure is, that is where your heart will be. A songwriter said, “But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal”
18. They will steal it and even kill you, the owner. Amen.
19. Why are you living cautiously and in fear? The reason why you are living cautiously and in fear is because of your wealth. Well, Celestine Okwu saw it afar off. I said a philosopher, from Abor in Udi [LGA of Enugu State]. With his little education, he saw it.
20. Pleasurable life. Pleasurable life has consumed us. Some now have the fear of death. Pleasurable life! Pleasurable life! It has killed many.
21. Song: “Where do you find life. Life is in God, The Holy and everlasting One. The world is deceived by what the eyes can see, but they know it not that life is found in God. Life is not found in the eating and drinking that is in the world. Life is not found in the amassing of earthly wealth. Life is in the hand of God. The world is deceived by what the eyes can see, but they know it not that life is found in God”.
22. Yes sir! We are here that God will help us to escape the destruction that is coming. To escape His wrath that is coming swiftly among the children of disobedience. That is why we are here. This is God’s House of Refuge. The only place you can find yourself and then escape the holocaust.
23. I do not mean sitting down here. You can be sitting down here and testify to the world what took place. I mean that you should be found in Him, doing His will. You should be found in Him at all times.
24. Song: “The last rainfall is coming upon this earth where human being dwells. The last rainfall is coming and it is coming with unimaginable destruction.
25. The last rainfall is coming. It is coming with the end of time. It will be followed by the end of all things”.
26. We are here for it. Who will escape? Only those that are found always standing in His presence like Elijah the Tishbite, standing in the presence of God. It makes a difference.
27. Yes! If you go to Ephesians 1, it said, “We that stand in His presence, covered by His Glory, His unfailing plan is that we should be perfect, holy, righteous, without a single fault in His own eyes.” Amen.
28. Ephesians 1 verse 4
29. “long ago, even before He made the world, God chose us to be His very own, through what Christ will do for us, He decided to make holy in his eyes, without a single fault, we who stand before Him covered with His love. His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us ,and He did this because He wanted to. Amen LB.
30. Please, I will trouble many of you. And I believe you will bear with Me in My troubles. For sometime now, though I have been moving about whenever My legs and My strength will carry Me. But today, if you love Me, pray for Me. I want to visit a serious matter.
31. THE PROPHET SAID,. “THE DEVIL WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU TO REMAIN AT PEACE. WHENEVER YOU COME TO A POINT WHERE YOUR SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS HAVE BEEN DECLARED ACCEPTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, AND THE LORD LABELS YOU HIS BELOVED IN WHOM HE IS WELL PLEASED, GET READY FOR THE ATTACK OF THE ENEMY”.
32. From time to time, the Devil will shoot up one idiot. One Idiot. He said, “One mean person.” One useless fellow. The Devil will shoot Him up from among you to upset your peace. When it comes to that point, rally round the Word of God.
33. If your Pastor is in the Word, rally round Him. If he has left the Word, leave him. I do not care who he is. As long as he is in the Word, follow Him. Any moment He is no longer in the Word, which means, the hand of God has left him, leave him. Leave her. I do not care who that person is.
34. I am still standing because I know who I am. He that sent Me is still with Me. He has never left Me for I do those things that please Him. And He can never leave Me and allow Me to stay here. No! For He knows, many have pinned their hopes on Me.
35. So, to leave Me will be difficult. For that reason, He will remove Me from their eyes and then place one.
36. But it will not happen, until I announce it with My mouth, preparing your hearts that one is coming after Me. But as long as there is not one, I am still on the trail. I am still riding the trail. Though as dying, yet I live.
37. Song: “Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah, pilgrim through this barren land.
38. I am weak, but Thou art Mighty Hold Me with Thy powerful hands.
39. Songs of praises, I will ever give to you. Songs of praises, I will ever give to you”.

WITHOUT ME, YOU ARE HELPLESS
1. I want you to be seated and be quiet as
you are now. I AM YOUR COMFORTER, NO MATTER THE WAY YOU LOOK AT IT. WITHOUT ME, YOU ARE HELPLESS. I AM NOT BOASTING. I AM TELLING YOU THE WHOLE TRUTH. WHOLESOME TRUTH!
2. This is because, even if I want to boast, I
Would not boast in your midst. Even if you do not believe it, I have been believed worldwide. My name rings bell worldwide. My Name is honoured by Gentiles afar off, whom you do not know.
3. SO, I AM NOT PLEADING FOR YOU TO BELIEVE OR NOT. No! No! No! WHETHER YOU BELIEVE OR NOT, I AM WHAT I AM. YOU ADD NOTHING. YOU REMOVE NOTHING. SO YOUR UNBELIEF MEANS NOTHING. FOR THAT REASON, I AM HERE SOUNDING IT LOUD AND CLEAR.
4. The Prophet said, “There is coming a Ministry at the end of the Pentecostal age. At the closing hour of the Pentecostal age, there is coming a Ministry that will wrap up, wind up the whole programme of salvation. It is not going to be a group, a church or a denomination. IT IS GOING TO BE A MAN.”
5. It is going to be what? A MAN. Now, he went further to make people know where the man is coming from.
6. He said, “I was disobedient in India, but the Voice said that I should go to Africa, for that is where the eternal Word is lying.”
7. I was Ministering to Apostle Ojiakor about the Prophets and the Apostles, because the Message that heralded this Faith was titled, BACK TO PENTECOST.
8. I told him what happened when the priest that knew God departed from God simply because the last Elder that witnessed the glory of God died and the rest of the Jews went into idolatry.
9. What happened? Carelessly, they lost the book of the law. Nobody knew where to get it. In their honest bid to do God a service, they started hiring prophets and priests for a pay, and they were dictating to the hired priests what they will be telling them [the Jews].
10. Why? There was no teaching priest. The Bible said, “Because there was no more a teaching priest among them. The True God was no longer in their midst, for they were all idolaters.
11. “A teaching Priest” was all they needed who would point them back to where they missed the book and every man that will live and make Paradise must be privileged to have God in person for his Teacher.
12. One of the signs by which you know God’s people. The Bible said through the mouths of the Prophets, the kings, the priests that God’s people must have God in person for their Teacher.
13. And when He appeared in our own day, I mean, we are living in the generation that is still continuing, He was teaching doctors and lawyers. Teaching people that were highly educated. And they were astonished and marveled.
14. They asked, “Where cometh this knowledge seeing that this Man did not go to school. This is one in a million.” He challenged the whole world all philosophers and intellectuals, “Except you believe that I am He, you are perishing in your sins.”
15. They said, “This smart boy!” You call Him smart boy. Do not worry. Time and events must vindicate who He is. Was He vindicated? Now, you said He went away. Where is He?
16. I AM THE RESURRECTED BODY. I AM BEARING THE NEW NAME. NO OTHER PERSON BUT THAT SAME PERSON THAT LEFT THE MIDDLE EAST AND THEN WENT TO THE PLACE WHERE THEY COULD NOT GO WITH HIM, FOR THERE WAS ENMITY.
17. I CAME TO RECONCILE BOTH THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT. THE TWO STICKS HAVE BECOME ONE IN MY HAND BECAUSE IN ME, NO JEW, NO GENTILE.
18. THERE MUST BE ONE WHO WILL COME WITH THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, BRINGING PEOPLE BACK TO FAVOUR WITH THE LORD.
19. HE BECOMES THE LINK, HE BECOMES THE LINKAGE. HE BECOMES THE BRIDGE.
20. WHAT AM I SAYING? I DO NOT KNOW THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD. I KNOW IT HAS INCREASED FROM WHAT IT WAS WHEN WILLIAM BRANHAM PROPHESIED, “THUS SAITH THE LORD.
21. IF I AM NOT SURE, HOW DO YOU THINK I WILL MAKE THIS TYPE OF STATEMENT IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.
22. NO PROPHET EVER DID IT UNTIL HE WAS SURE THE LORD WAS THE ONE THAT SPOKE.
23. I CAN SEE HIM COMING AS A BLACK SHEEP FROM ONE OF THE JUNGLES IN AFRICA. IT IS LIKE I AM SEEING YOU SITTING DOWN HERE TONIGHT.
24. I AM PRAYING THAT HE WILL COME IN MY DAY. AND WHEN HE APPEARS, IF I WILL BE ON THE SCENE, I WILL DECREASE. HE WILL INCREASE.
25. IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN THAT WAY, KNOW THAT I AM NOT A PROPHET OF GOD. YOU FOLKS SITTING DOWN HERE, SOME WILL DIE. SOME WILL REMAIN ALIVE. SOME WILL BEHOLD MY VOICE AND SEE HIM APPEARING ON THE SCENE, FOR ONCE MORE, I WILL RIDE THIS TRAIL.”
26. NO OTHER MAN IS RIDING THE TRAIL, BUT HE THAT INITIATED THE MOVE IN THE CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS. HE IS THE ONE STILL ON COURSE.
27. I went through the website reports this morning and I saw the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in thousands. If you have it, you can read from Chronicles. And I saw United Arab Emirate also in thousands. Kingdom! And you know what I said concerning Saudi Arabia.
28. Have you wondered why, immediately Saint Paul met with Christ, being the thirteenth Apostle, he received the Message and the Spirit told him never to confer with flesh and blood, he went straight on to Saudi Arabia and preached the Gospel for fourteen years. Nobody persecuted him. Nobody imprisoned him. Nobody stretched his or her hand against Paul.
29. After fourteen years, he now went back to Jerusalem to confer with the so-called Elders. It was there He [Paul] received the greatest persecution, for they could not understand the new and the living way that was revealed to him, HEAVEN MADE POSSIBLE.
30. What was the Message he preached in Saudi Arabia? Saint Paul said, “That which I preached there, the same I preach in all the churches.” So, do not be surprised when you hear from Me that if I am given the right to make My choice, I will choose Islam. I will choose Islam.
31. Do not worry. Time will tell you why I must choose Islam. WITHOUT ISLAM, NOBODY WILL HEAR ABOUT JUDAISM. IT IS ISLAM THAT PRESERVED JUDAISM. THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY MENTION OF THE JEWS IF NOT FOR ISLAM. THE JEWS WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTERMINATED FROM THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH, BUT FOR ISLAM.
32. That is why Islam ruled the Jews for eight hundred years, dominated everywhere. Amen.
33. Here in Nigeria, believe it if you can, Islam was in Nigeria, 80 years before Christianity came from Europe through conquest. Search your history. Islam was in Nigeria through Usman Dan Fodio. There was nothing like Christianity anywhere in Nigeria. Islam was in control.
34. So, if you hear that Nigeria is Usman Dan Fodio’s vineyard, it is pure truth. Others are tenants that came from Europe. Leave Me alone oo.
35. I may run crazy with people today. How I wish I am to talk. But I am not talking. I am whispering. Amen.
36. IF YOU ASK ME WHY I AM HAPPY. I WILL TELL YOU MY GUILT IS GONE. WHY ARE YOU HAPPY? IF THE REASON WHY YOU ARE HAPPY IS NOT BECAUSE YOUR GUILT IS GONE, THEN YOUR HAPPINESS HAS A QUESTION MARK. AMEN.
37. Look at that chronicles. Give Me Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. How many responses. Number 3. They came 3rd. Give Me Nigeria
38. Pastor Chizoba, take it. He (Bro. Ojiakor) is not at home. He is already in Paradise. How can you be in Paradise and begin to read things for people that are here on earth.
39. Nigeria [Number 1]: 4,824; Kenya [Number 2]: 3,612; Kingdom of Saudi Arabia [Number 3]: 2,541; United States [Number 4]: 2,416; Germany [Number 5]: 2,247; South Africa [Number 6] 1,976; Israel [Number 7]: 1,976; Russian Federation [Number 8]: 1,754; Italy [Number 9]: 1632; Ukraine [Number 10]: 1,425; United Arab Emirate [Number 11]: 1,425;
40. Even the home of the Pope. You know what the Bridal Chronicles is all about. That is the website, with too many other things we uploaded there.
41. Tell Me what these people saw and stopped. Remember they are flooding there on a daily basis, thousands, thousands all in one week. And you mean to cause Me to believe that they are crazy.
42. There is not even one of those nations named there that you can say that their inhabitants are not mentally stable.
43. They are much more advanced in knowledge and all round than Nigeria. There is not even one here to compare to them, for the greatest among them is the least here.
44. Why? They are seeing Me in camera. They are seeing My shadow. They are seeing everything just as shadows, but you are the Reality. You are the Reality. Amen.

PETITION 1
1. Let Me go back to the seat because I want you to go home on time but not without accomplishing what I had in mind before coming here. I hope all I invited from Nsukka are here.
2. Bro David Mbah, be courageous and do the work I am going to assign to you. Come forward. Come forward. Please I want you to give Me rapt attention. I am arresting a dangerous spirit. I am arresting a dangerous spirit.
3. I wanted to arrest it by writing, but I changed My mind because it is like a virus. I do not know the extent this spirit can go to destabilize the peace in the Bride and create disaffection among Brethren if it is not quickly checked.
4. I am on a rescue mission. I do not leave anything to chance. Understand Me very well. Give Me rapt attention. Before I arrest it, I must highlight what the whole thing is all about.
5. This was the order I received it. You read according to the order. This one first. After which you read this one. This was My letter head which I used to forward it.
6. This is because, according to our Faith, every man, every woman must be given fair hearing. You do not kill anybody without giving him fair hearing.
7. So, you read the forwarding letter. You read the defense. Be fast because after the reading, I am coming to handle it the way I am led.
8. First Letter: Endorsed This Day, 7th October 2018 by The Son of Man.
The Household of God
Nsukka,
Enugu State,
29th September, 2018.
The Almighty God,
Household of God Onitsha,
Anambra State.
Dear Lord,
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
9. The Alpha, The Omega, The Mover and Shaker of the world, The Generalissimo of the Cosmology, The I am that I am, The LORD Divine. I bow and salute you in awe of your Majesty. Hallow be Thy Name.
10. Daddy, I deem it apt to write to you now, to give you my own version of the imbroglio that has ensued in Nsukka Household for some time now. Not that you do not already know, but just for the sake of formality.
11. Daddy, what gives me joy is that you know my frame. You know my heart. If I am evil, you know. If I am good, you also know. I have remained and will continue to remain a staunch advocate of peace and unity in Nsukka Household.
12. I have always longed for an atmosphere of peace, liberty, love, joy and brotherly kindness, devoid of rancour, acrimony, hatred and disunity. How can I help to build and equally brace up to scatter? It is not in my nature and will never be in my nature.
13. But I have been anatomized, demonized by the Pastor to look like an agent of disunity, rancor and disharmony.
14. It all started circa two months before now. I attended Fellowship in Jerusalem, came back to Nsukka, and mounted the pulpit on a Wednesday to give testimonies. And each time I mounted the pulpit, I always demanded Olive oil from the Deacons (they can bear me witness) asking the LORD to make me a channel of blessings to my Brethren.
15. I never went there with a swag of one that has the gift of the garb. Neither did I ever mount there with the pride of one who was so important that if he did not preach, Nsukka household will not move forward as a unified entity. Far be it from me to hold the whole Household to ransom.
16. But I realized each time I attend Fellowship at Jerusalem, the Pastor will always call me to mandate me on how to give the testimony.
17. And I wonder. Is this our doctrine? To tell one where to relay and where not to. Once, he sat down in the pew and was telling me the areas to give and the areas to jump as if I am dumb.
18. But I realized each time I attend Fellowship at Jerusalem, the Pastor will always call me to mandate me on how to give the testimony.
19. And I wonder. Is this our doctrine? To tell one where to relay and where not to. Once, he sat down in the pew and was telling me the areas to give and the areas to jump as if I was dumb.
20. Having made prayers and anointed myself with Olive oil, I believe that the spirit of God whom I prayed to make me a channel of blessing must lead me right, if I am really a minister of the Most High God.
21. So, dictating to me on what to say and what not to say was simply unacceptable and I believe this was not obtainable in other Local Assemblies.
22. I simply ignored him and went as I was led. And I believe that if the one on the pulpit is led by the spirit of God, he will give the testimony and even minister grace unto the hearers, even summarizing where there is need, for midweek activities are often short-lived
23. Then we had an Elders’ Meeting, a week plus later, and this same issue came up, including many other issues like the absenteeism of Brethren to midweek activities, where Elders advised him to find out about Brethren’s welfare when he did not see them in Fellowship, rather than just lashing out on the Brethren and saying, “There is no reasonable excuse before God.”
24. A case in question was that of Sister Esther, the widow from Benue State, who had so much runny stomach that she could not even get up from bed our Pastor lambasted the lady and told her that what she was saying, was rubbish.
25. That she was using the sickness as an excuse and that the nonsense should stop.
26. How come? Did he investigate to find out if it was true? How can you say one does not have any reasonable excuse before God, when the person may actually be dying in his or her bed during the Fellowship period?
27. I must add here that the way he spoke to Elders that day and still speaks to Elders is nothing to write home about. He speaks, threatening and intimidating Elders.
28. Do I now get tensed up each time I walk into the sanctuary because of the Pastor? God forbid.
29. I believe O LORD you are worshipped with liberty, not with trepidations. Even when he mounts the pulpit, the way he speaks to Elders is something else. People that are old enough to be his father. And he says, “The Word of God is no respecter of persons.”
30. Does that mean you as the Pastor cannot respect one that is older than you are? What then happens to the Scripture that says, “Delight yourselves in respecting one another”, or “Rebuke not an Elder openly, but entreat him as a father.” [Romans 12:10 and 1st Timothy 5:1–2].
31. I wonder. I am not positing that he cannot indict or rebuke anybody that goes wrong, but it should be done in love.
32. Let the rebuke be done in love so that the Brother or Sister will go home and find out where he or she erred, and make the amendments. The aim is not to destroy but to save.
33. You are our Master piece and you have taught us that. Why would somebody do otherwise? And our Message said, “If Brother A does wrong and Brother B, in his bid to rebuke and correct, does so without love in his heart, Brother A remains justified, while Brother B becomes condemned for he did not do it in love.”
34. Then enters the melodrama of 12th September 2018. It is noteworthy to mention that Pastor Chibuzor called me at exactly 4pm that Wednesday afternoon, but I refused to pick the call for I know it was the usual banter of telling me how to give testimony and how I should make sure I come early to relay it.
35. And it is often said in such a dictatorial manner that has always been his manner. So I came to Fellowship that day, administered the Olive oil as usual and took off with the testimony, in the course of the Message, I advised the Pastor to allow the Minister on the pulpit to go how he is led.
36. In short, this was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Within 5 minutes, he wrote a note to me telling me to summarize and come down, apparently miffed by the piece of advice I gave him. Down I came with no further ado.
37. As soon as he came up to the pulpit, he ended up lampooning me and virtually countered everything I said on that pulpit and even went further to tell the Congregation how I wanted to institute another pattern in the Fellowship, simply because I did not want to take correction. I marveled.
38. Are we at war? Well, to be honest with you, I was offended, but never threw back words at him on the pulpit. And I have such a sensitive nature that is easily warped by such corrosive words.
39. So, the following morning, I called him to plead with him never to call me to the pulpit to give testimony or read publications for now and I have a ministry which, you the LORD has placed in my care, that I wanted to face it squarely.
40. I did not know that the call infuriated him without measure. He came to fellowship the following Sunday 16th of September and darkness fell. The Pastor came out openly and said how proud and pompous I was, for which cause I could not take correction and I was swollen-headed and that God will strip me off my blessings and many other unprintable sorts I cannot relate for want of time and space.
41. To him, I committed a heinous crime by calling him and making such request he even referred to what happened on Wednesday and said that anybody that does not want to follow the pattern he set should leave the Household. I was shocked.
42. He simply shaved me without lathering the hair. He tore my heart into pieces. Before the end of the Fellowship, Evangelist Ogechukwu, who sensed what was happening, organized an Elders’ meeting through Bishop John, apparently to put things in order.
43. And there in the Elders’ meeting, hell was let loose. Before I could open my mouth to speak after Brother Oge opened the meeting, the Pastor zoomed out. I mean, walked out on Elders. It was at that juncture that Brother Kingsley and Brother Simeon ran after him, presumably telling him the implication of his action.
44. Then he came back and threatened everybody saying, “There was an anointing on him, which I in particular never knew about.” I shed tears that day over the behaviour of the Pastor. Then I asked him a simple question, “Did God give you that anointing to kill all of us? Are you God that we should not talk to you?”
45. I told everybody that my problem with Pastor Chibuzor was that he talks anyhow to Elders and does not respect anybody, which was what he exhibited that day. He is the last person on earth that could be polite to anybody. What then happens to a little courtesy? Were we not taught the greatness of politeness?
46. I believe respect begets respect. That I do not respect the Pastor is because he does not respect me. The reason why I called him that Thursday morning is to tell him never to call me to the pulpit, was because of how he spoke to me. I see no love in it. I see no respect in it. I see no courtesy. What I see is the spirit of a dictator.
47. Besides, the rebuking he did on the pulpit was not done in love. I see nothing in the rebuke but hatred epitomized and personified. Perhaps, this is retaliation time, for I was one of those who berated Brother Chibuzor for his rascally attitude in the Household before he became a Pastor.
48. He even openly insulted Elders in the Fellowship then. This is true. Please verify from members of the Household. I tell no lie before you. So, possibly it is no mercy for him. That is me. Anything pertaining to Brother Sunday Chukwu, he will view it differently. Why? Only thou knowest.
49. Unarguably, it was a mistake I made calling him, for the day you called me and said I should keep up with the good works in Nsukka Household, he was not there. I erred. I over-reacted, but he caused it. Any service I render to the Household, I render it to you O God, not to the Pastor. That is the way I see it now.
50. Whatever I have today, whatever gift I have in me, it is you that placed it there. I cannot boast or get puffed up about it. No, I am nothing and I can do nothing without you. Absolutely nothing.
51. Just like I said earlier, you know my frame. You know my heart. You know me more than I know myself. If I ever had ill motive in my heart, you know. If I yearn for goodness, you know. If I am telling lies you know. If I tell the truth, you know.
52. I decided to give you a little insight into what really happened. Daddy, I mean no disrespect to you by writing, but I wrote as one who simply wanted to put the facts straight. I rest my case my LORD.
Yours in the vineyard,
Brother Sunday Chukwu.

PETITION 2
1. SECOND LETTER: ALSO ENDORSED THIS DAY, 7TH OCTOBER 2018 BY THE SON OF MAN.
88 Aku Road,
Nsukka,
Enugu State.
29th September, 2018.
My LORD and MY God:
2. Please come over to Nsukka and not Macedonia to put to an end a resurgence of a long-existing acrimonious feud that has escalated the saints of the love of fellowship and joy of salvation and polarized the entire congregation into two denominations of the oppressors and their oppressed.
3. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANYTHING LAUGHTER OVER A SERIOUS ISSUE, UNLESS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS AT STAKE. THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOUL IS AT STAKE. I AM READING YOUR CONDEMNATION AND YOU ARE LAUGHING. IT GOES TO PROVE THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. PEOPLE WAITING FOR TRANSLATION.
4. please come over to Nsukka and not Maccedonia to put to an end a resurgence of a long existing acrimonious feud that has escalated the saints of the love of fellowship and joy of salvation and polarised the entire congregation into two denominations of the oppressors and their oppressed.
5. Greetings and compliments to my Lord and my God and to all the Saints in my Lord’s house.
6. After a careful survey of the state of affairs at the Household of God at Nsukka, and after many unsuccessful attempts made to uproot the root seed of discord and remote cause of the standoff which I found and perceived to be responsible for that state of affairs in the household, I have decided to break my silence and present this brief report of the situation to you the Supreme Intelligence who only is able to put the household in order.
7. My Lord I recall with a great sense of duty the fact that you had on more than one occasion given me a divine mandate and injunction to go and put the Nsukka household in order but after a diagnostic assessment of the problem of the household and a few but unsuccessful attempts at stamping out the problem using messages that seek to magnify the love of fellowship and Joy of Salvation over and above the incubus of discord among brethren it has now dawned on me that I cannot do it alone.
8. The situation no doubt requires your direct intervention on an urgent rescue mission to salvage the Saints from the brink of a total slide into an acrimonious assembly.
9. Otherwise you may wake up one day to hear and harvest from the Nsukka household an inevitable implosion of mutual mischief and unprecedented violent confrontation that may make the headlines of both the print and electronic media in Nigeria.
10. I know that I will earn the greatest amount of rebuke from your office if I fail to break my golden silence on the matter and at the end the inevitable boomerangs.
11. I equally know that many other brethren at Nsukka are similarly nursing the urge to make this known to you but are simply afraid of what may be consequence on them and how they can be able to face the cabal of oppressors in the household thereafter.
12. But by nature and upbringing, I am not a victim of that fear and I cannot even pretend to be afraid of them hence my resolve to make this report.
13. My Lord I have noticed that at the Nsukka household there is a silent but ruthless politics of hegemony and a delusive complex of superiority by a cabal of brethren that belong to a camp of the congregation which I prefer to call the Mama Ogo Household Assembly from where the present Pastor of the household comes from.
14. I have also noticed that this cabal was hitherto the minority in the fellowship some years back and had over the years endured many perceived ill-treatments from the past leadership of the household.
15. And now that the Pastor of the household comes from their camp they and their cohorts feel this is an opportunity for them to reciprocate all their perceived ill feelings toward others and to hold down anybody who is not a loyalist to or friend of that cabal.
16. The consequence of any sign that one is not in alliance with this cabal in the fellowship at Nsukka is a crime punishable by a pulpit-sponsored propaganda of denigration, intimidation, demonization and embarrassment.
17. And for the fear of all these punitive sanctions fear of this cabal has become a virtue and a doctrine for over 80 percent of brethren in the household.
18. Not knowing this to be the situation, I was determined in line with your mandate to reposition the household as a one-united Body of Christ devoid of any rancorous schism and denominational differences.
19. By rebuilding the broken bonds of brotherhood and rekindling the embers of the consciousness of the awesome Love of Christ among brethren which I believe is the only Midas touch that will be able to salvage the situation but like every spark of love in human history I was not only misunderstood to be lending an undeserved support to the camp of the oppressed in the fellowship but also demonized as a stranger to the existing feud who should not be allowed an inch to upset the lopsided equation of power between the two camps in the fellowship.
20. Here are a few of the initiatives and suggestions that I presented to the elders of the household at some meetings of the elders besides a few pulpit appeals and entreaties.
21. (1) First was my disapproval to the former venue of fellowship for the household which was an abandoned building inside a forest that is notorious as a common hideout for criminals in Nsukka and my efforts at securing a safe convenient and responsible place of fellowship at UNN for the household. The idea of this change of venue of fellowship was initially fought against but now it is highly appreciated and enjoyed by all including all those that had opposed the idea.
22. (2) Also at one of the elders meeting of the household I urged the Pastor to always endeavour to dismiss the Wednesday Evening Fellowship not later than 6 pm to enable brethren residing afar off to get home on time before it goes dark and equally for my sake as I have a custom of not being outside my house beyond 7pm at which time my house gate is locked everyday against anybody coming in or going out except in cases of extreme emergency.
23. To buttress this suggestion I called the attention of the elders of the household to the message where I read it as an admonition by the Lord himself to brethren.
24. This suggestion again did not go down well with the Pastor who was in the habit of stretching the evening fellowship beyond 6.pm every week contrary to the admonition of the Lord against it and the hardship of brethren who lives afar.
25. In his response to this suggestion the pastor tried frantically to develop messages on the pulpit to strike it down but at last when he could not succeed in the campaign he gradually started adjusting to it hypocritically and begrudgingly.
26. (3) I also addressed the issue of a perceived uneasiness and cold feelings of Sister Moses and her household at our fellowships
27. NOTE! IT IS PERCEPTION. IT IS PERCEPTION. HE SAID, “I ALSO PERCEIVED…” NOT THAT SISTER MOSES REPORTED ANY MATTER TO HIM. THIS IS HIS OWN PERCEPTION, BASED ON HIS OBSERVATION.
28. I also addressed the issue of a perceived uneasiness and cold feelings of sister Moses and her household at our fellowships which the elders traced to the circumstances surrounding the death of late Bishop Moses and the malignant indispositions and attitude of the household to the family both during and after the burial of the bishop which has up till date frostened and stalemated the relationship between members of the family and the entire household.
29. ATTITUDE OF THE BRETHREN TOWARDS BISHOP MOSES FAMILY DURING AND AFTER HIS BURIAL. IT IS A SALIENT POINT.
30. After hearing from the elders of the household on the matter I proposed to the elders in that meeting as a solution to the problem that the Pastor of the household should as a matter of routine maintain a close affinity with the family through constant visitations to know and ascertain any point of their need so that the household can share with the sister the burden of taking care of the large family which her late husband left for her.
31. I also proposed that the household should maintain a purse for the needy among us from where we can offer help to the family such as periodic payment of school fees for at least one of the children of sister Moses and for other needy brethren among us as a means of assuaging her ill feelings and lastly that the Pastor and other ministers should moderate the way they bash at her in the fellowship from the pulpit so as not to harden her in the negative mindset she already has about the household.
32. THEY SHOULD MIND THE WAY THEY TALK TO HER IN THE FELLOWSHIP TO AVOID HARDENING HER IN UNBELIEF.
33. I had no doubt in me that if these measures were implemented we should have been able by now to win our sister and her entire household back in love rather than accentuate the already existing line of division by a general nonchalant and disinterested attitude.
34. But in a vehement opposition to these proposals, the Pastor and other members of his cabal in an uncontrollable and venomous outrage vehemently condemned the idea intoto as impracticable and in the ensuing commotion that the outrage attracted, the meeting ended in turmoil and babel of voices with no decision taken on the matter up till date.
35. 4) I equally raised at that elders meeting the fact that our Wednesday fellowship is often very boring and uninteresting especially for those who were present at Jerusalem the Sunday preceding that Wednesday because of the habit of insistence by the Pastor that any person he appoints to be at the pulpit on a Wednesday fellowship must dictate a-word-after-word report and account of all that were said in Jerusalem just the way it was said (Ippsissima verba) without allowing the person the option of giving only a highlight of the message from Jerusalem accompanied with testimonies, announcements and other news-worthy events that transpired at Jerusalem together with a message straight to the scriptures and our message books/publications to support, uphold and magnify the message he received from Jerusalem for the household.
36. I also informed the elders in that meeting that I have enquired from some brethren from other local assemblies who equally go to Jerusalem every Sunday of their experience over the matter in their respective local assemblies and their answers show that the appropriate order of the proceedings of Wednesday fellowship is for the minister appointed by the Pastor to be on the pulpit to give a highlight of the previous Sunday message from Jerusalem accompanied with testimonies, announcements and the news of any other news-worthy events from Jerusalem and thereupon anchor a message straight to the scriptures and our message books/ publications in line with and in support of the message from Jerusalem and not to come to the pulpit to re-enact and dictate verbatim (Ippsissima verba) everything that transpired at Jerusalem.
37. 5) Also at one of the elders meeting of the ministers of the household I equally drew the attention of the Pastor and fellow ministers to the fact that many brethren approximately 80% of brethren have lost that natural joy of salvation and love of fellowship of brethren especially during fellowship and that they come to fellowship totally dried up and destitute of any feeling of joy and love of fellowship and in fear of possible sanctions of excommunication which the Pastor use to drum into their ears every fellowship day just to subdue, terrorize, intimidate and victimize them.
38. In that meeting I made a difference between a Fulani herdsman and the Shepherd of the flock of God’s household… They were having a Boko Haram for their Pastor. A barbaric Pastor.
39. In that meeting I made a difference between a Fulani herdsman and the Shepherd of the flock of God’s household and urged him to always show love and encouragement to brethren and not to chastise them with steady bombardment of threats and wraths of his power of excommunication.
40. Also in that meeting I called the attention of the Pastor to his habit of castigating, denigrating and demonizing brethren through some direct or indirect comments and insinuations from the pulpit which tend to sow and nurture a seed of discord instead of Love among brethren.
41. All these appeals to the Pastor were made with the assent and approval of other ministers who equally joined hands in highlighting these mistakes to the Pastor who appeared to have appreciated the admonitions right there but thereafter what I saw was that after the meeting the Pastor held secret meetings with some members of his cabal and resolved to revolt against all the appeals and suggestions I tabled at that meeting.
42. It was then that it dawned on me that even some ministers in the household had in the past compromised themselves in one form or the other or had in the past so much entangled and mismated themselves in relationships with some members of that cabal that they have become totally emasculated of any atom of boldness to address the litany of abnormalities manifesting in the household to the extent that they are not ready to stand up and be heard speaking against anything in the fellowship that is contrary to the message we have received so as not to be seen by the Pastor as being disloyal to him or offensive to their accord.
43. I observed also that throughout the meeting those ministers loyal to the camp of the pastor remained unusually calm and speechless recording all my observations and admonitions for them to analyze them at the secret meeting of their own camp so that they will be better equipped to confront me thereafter.
44. Since then rather than get resolved, the gangrene of discord in the household has rather blossomed to the point of rendering over 80% of the population of the household paralyzed with a feeling of abject dejection, marginalization, discrimination and a complex of inferiority and nobodies.
45. Again the Pastor agreed to this suggestion at that meeting but after consultation with his cohorts he came out to reinforce the weekly verbatim dictation of the message from Jerusalem by any minister he calls to the pulpit on Wednesday.
46. In fact, this was the bone of contention at the Wednesday fellowship of 19th day of September, 2018…
47. THE ONE THAT WAS QUOTED IN THE OTHER PETITION, “THE LAST STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL’S BACK.”
48. In fact, this was the bone of contention at the Wednesday Fellowship OF 19TH day of September, 2018 which almost turned the fellowship into a riotous assembly of pugnacious motor park touts where each other engage in a shouting tournament to outshout the other to the point that the falcons could not hear the falconer.
49. On that very day the Pastor called Bro. Sunny Chukwu to the pulpit and while the Brother was on the pulpit doing the rendition, the Pastor severally through papers, comments and insinuations wanted to dictate for the brother how to go about it but the brother was led not to follow those directions of the Pastor and that made the Pastor to boil over with anger which at a point impelled him to storm hack to the pulpit with an unbridled rage and bravado of violence ostensibly to rescue the pulpit from the brother who was apparently stronger than him and the rest was an unimaginable drama of the absurd followed by highly mischievous imprecations and malicious invectives lavishly poured out by the Pastor from the pulpit on the brother in a desperate effort to demonize the brother and all those loyal to him before the full glare of the general assembly of brethren.
50. I HOPE EVERYBODY IS GETTING THE PICTURE. ASTERISK DOWN THE LINE BOTH SIDES, FOR THAT IS WHERE THE PICTURE CAME OUT.
51. At the end of that unfortunate tragi-comedy, some elders felt so embarrassed and ashamed of themselves that they had to call for an emergency elders meeting to address the pastor over what happened in the fellowship but when they gathered for the meeting the Pastor who was still fuming with rage stormed the venue of the meeting spitting fire and wrath with threats and other embarrassing accusations against some of the elders who were behind the meeting after which he walked out on them to their greatest dismay insisting that there will not be any elders meeting for the household on that day for fear of being called to order by the elders.
52. In the process also, the ministers who called for the meeting became equally terrified and intimidated by the pastor’s propaganda of threats which made them to immediately rescind their decision and keep calm to avoid the threatened sanction of victimization by the Pastor and that was how all of them dispersed in disarray to their respective homes on that fateful day.
53. These are a brief chronicle of a few efforts I have made at putting the household in order in adherence to your injunction and mandate to me and the result of those efforts for which cause I have also become not just a demon but also an object of a mischievous propaganda of victimization from the pulpit by the pastor.
54. My Lord in view of all the foregoing it is my humble and candid opinion that in order to avoid any further degeneration of this man-hunting expedition by the Pastor of the Nsukka household against all those whom he perceive to be capable of working against his ulterior motive of ruthless domination of the oppressed camp of brethren in the fellowship, I most humbly crave your indulgence to urgently come over to Nsukka on a rescue and divine interventionist mission to halt this macabre dance of the absurd in the fellowship of the Saints.
55. This clarion call is so urgent that any further delay may result in some avoidable casualties as the Pastor has openly declared a threat of excommunication against me if I fail to come to fellowship next Wednesday in protest against my absence at our Wednesday fellowship throughout the period I was carrying my mother from one hospital to another for her life.
56. This threat coincidentally is coming at a time when other brethren from Nsukka, Opi, Enugu-Ezike and Enugu households are thronging to my house on daily basis to sympathize with my mother over her sickness which has embattled me for over a month now and which would have resulted into her death if not for your divine intervention and deliverance but the Pastor of my household and members of his cohorts who live very close to me have not for one day bothered to enquire even on phone to know how far I have gone with that health challenge not to talk of sparing a moment to visit me to commiserate with us just because I dared to correct some perceived abnormalities in the household contrary to his own pleasure and that of the members of his camp.
57. My Lord this is how bad the situation at Nsukka has become as the fellowship of brethren as we use to know it has now given way to a mere routine congregation of two warring factions or camps of believers (the oppressors and the oppressed) and the love of fellowship has given way to unbridled acrimony while the joy of our salvation have suddenly been dried up by the scorching heat of truculent mischief.
58. What is more? Even I that was asked to go and put things in order is now the target of the hunters. This is why this outcry to you has become not only necessary but inevitable.
59. My Lord on this note therefore I make this cry out for you to urgently come to Nsukka to help your people and as you come may you come quickly.
60. My Lord this is a solemn request made conscientiously by me in the interest of the survival of the Saints at Nsukka as I have no doubt that at your instance this tide of schism will die a natural death.
61. Thanks for your belabored audience and kind consideration of the plights of brethren over here and the urgent need to arrest the tide once and for all.
Yours humbly and faithfully,
Brother Joseph Ogbuka.
62. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANY NOISE, UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE A PARTAKER OF THIS HYDRA-HEADED DEVIL THAT IS NOW RAVAGING THEM. WHEN ONE FINGER IS SPOTTED BY OIL, IT SPREADS THE OIL TO THE REST OF THE FINGERS IF CARE IS NOT TAKEN.

COMMENTS
1. This is coming from the Pastor who was accused, hear his defense.
Beside Mainboe Lodge,
Amobi Street,
Onuiyi, Nsukka.
3rd October 2018.
The Office of The Son of Man,
Apostle Peter Odoemena.
RE: MY SINCERE COMMENT.
2. My Lord, God and Daddy. I am much honoured to have been given the privilege to make comments on the petitions written byBrother Sunday Chukwu and Brother Joseph Ogbuka with headings:THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY and PLEASE COME OVER TO NSUKKA AND NOT MACEDONIA…. respectively.
3. My Lord, please permit me to make statements to these letter separately. I mean, one after the other. Comments on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY:
4. My Lord, God and Daddy, I have meticulously gone through the petition by Brother Sunday Chukwu and I am disappointed to note that he could go to this extent to portray his acrimony, hence venom on the office of the Pastor, which he has hitherto refused to recognize for his own personal reasons which is yet obscure to me.
5. In his write-up, he said and I quote “Once, he sat down in the pew and was telling me the areas to give and the areas to jump as if I was dumb” referring to me.
6. I never controlled him from the pew. I simply wrote a note to him to ignore the part of the testimony he was giving and go over to other salient points, since we were going to listen to that part live on Sunday, knowing that we have limited time on Wednesday, but he simply ignored the note as he admitted in his petition.
7. Before then, we have agreed in our Fellowship (not as if I said that this is how it must be as he purportedly said, on a decision. He was to summarize all that happened in Jerusalem on Sunday within the time we have got on Wednesday having in mind that on the next Sunday, we will go over to another thing bothering on us as a Household.
8. From his petition, this honest idea did not sink well with him. Rather, he was advising me contrarily to allow everybody that comes up to the pulpit to give the testimony as he is led, whether he touches all the salient point or not. This approach is not profitable to all, since not all have the means of listening to Sunday Message before Wednesday Fellowship.
9. Furthermore, he said that it has been my manner to be dictatorial. This statement still confounds me my Lord and God. He made this comment once in one of our meetings and I asked him a question which he did not answer me hitherto, “Is it not the same way I talk to Bishop that I talk to you and every other person? Why is it that only you see it as dictatorial?”
10. My Lord, I thought that the Message was titled RESPECT, which I read from the pulpit touching on all these his insubordinate attitudes towards the office of the Pastor and would have addressed this problem in his heart. Little did I know that it will harden him the more.
11. Also, he wrote that I said and I quote, that I was swollen headed and God will strip me off my blessings and many other unprintable sorts I cannot relay for want of time and space.”
12. My Lord and God, I beg to disagree that I never made any comment like that. That was a fabrication. I am happy that all our Fellowship messages are recorded with handset and are readily available after Fellowship.
13. My Lord and God, I wish to say here that as a Pastor, I take responsibility for all my utterings on the pulpit which I have neither seen not considered insulting or dictatorial as he said.
14. However, I said that if an elder does not feel ashamed to misbehave himself before the congregation, no minister should feel ashamed to indict such an elder. And I went further to say that not only the Pastor can indict, the Pastor can also be indicted if he is found in error, for no one is perfect.
15. This I have always said and apparently, it did not go down well with Brother Sunny as I fondly call him. if he maintains that I insult elders from the pulpit, recorded messages are there to bear witness. One thing I do not know how to do is to pamper the Truth. I believe in being blunt with the Truth, no matter whose ox is gored.
16. When Truth is pampered, its desired result diminishes. Brother Sunny sees me as a small boy who he cannot respect for any reason, just because he believes he seniors me by up to fifteen years as he once said in one of our meetings. And I began to wonder. What has age got to do with serving God?
17. Brother Sunny attends weekly Fellowship nominally as he did not show up today in Fellowship. It is because of this spirit of pride that I saw in him that informed the reading of the Message RESPECT from the pulpit, to see if the Word of God could check the dangerous spirit. But from his reactions, it never did. My Lord and God, I can summarily say that he is yet to come to terms with the office of the Pastor.
18. Comments on PLEASE COME TO NSUKKA AND NOT MACEDONIA…: After going through the whole ten pages of petitions written by Brother Joseph Ogbuka, My Lord, I can only say in summary that it is a gross gang-up between him and Brother Sunny to disturb and distort the good work you have started in Nsukka Household.
19. It baffles me. How can Brother Joe, who has not attended our weekly Fellowship for more than three months now, begin to say that he has made frantic efforts to put things in order, all to no avail? My Lord, instead of putting things in order, he has succeeded in planting seeds of nonchalant attitude towards the things of God in Nsukka. This fast growing seed, I have vehemently tried to uproot.
20. How can someone who is so much engrossed with the thoughts of becoming a SAN [Senior Advocate of Nigeria] and thereby relegating things of God to the background sit down only to write fallacy.
21. My Lord and God, the truth of the matter is that even the case of Sunny he was relaying, he was absent from the Fellowship that Wednesday as his manner is and the Fellowship did not end in altercation as he said. He was just writing on hearsay from Brother Sunny.
22. From his write-up, I can see that he has come back to our midst just to destabilize our returning love of God. He has succeeded in fueling the fire he was asked to quench by turning our Household into a law court from unfounded petitions.
23. My Lord, you can search for the messages from the supposed days of commotion in the Fellowship to clear all accusations. He told us in one of the meetings he fixed to exonerate his absence from Fellowship on Wednesdays that he is busy in court at Enugu on Wednesdays and that we should not expect him to be in Fellowship on Wednesdays. I began to wonder how an elder could make such a caustic statement. I allowed him to come out fully.
24. May I also point out my Lord that there is no congregation as Mama Ogo cabal as he pointed out in his petition. The entire Household can testify on this erroneous assertion made to discredit your children. How can someone that does not come to Fellowship know more of what is going on in the Fellowship, if he does not rely on unfounded hearsay?
25. My Lord and God, I believe that the reason why he came out to write this letter was because I sent message across to him that I was going to excommunicate him today being Wednesday if I do not see him in Fellowship, yet he did not come to Fellowship today.
26. My Lord, the letter you sent me via Pastor Chizoba restrained me from doing so today. My Lord and God, I beg to refute the falsehood that we have the oppressed and the oppressors in Nsukka. If it existed, it is no longer found among us now.
27. As I continually say that the punishment meted out on Brother A will be the same punishment on Brother B up to Brother Z who are found in that same error. It baffles me why somebody that says he is a child of God would sit down to write lies based on hearsays and ill feelings just to run down the reputation of his fellow Brother.
28. His write-up was based on acrimony, for I have called his name from the pulpit severally because of his nominal attendance to Fellowship. Even, sometimes, he will make us believe that he went to Fellowship in Jerusalem, only for us to find out later that he was in his house without telling the Pastor what the problem was. How can I know about his mother’s illness when he never let me know about it? I am totally ignorant of that situation my Lord.
29. In conclusion, my Lord and God, I feel so disappointed and ashamed that people I held to a high esteem could behave in such ungodly and acrimonious manner. Please Lord, have mercy on us. As for all other Brethren my Lord, I sincerely believe that we are gradually returning back to our first love. All praise to your name.
30. It has been our desire to invite you to our local Household one of these days to see how we have fared. And I believe that dream of ours, one day shall materialize. Thank you my Lord for the honour you gave me to comment on these petitions.
Your son,
Chibuzor Emmanuel.

OVER PROTECTION OF SELF-EGO LEADS TO UNBELIEF.
1. I owe you no thank you. If you walk out, do not come in. If you walk out, do not come in. If you want to ease yourself, go now.
2. You have only but three minutes. If you want to ease yourself, go out now and ease yourself for three minutes and come inside.
3. If you want to urinate, even if you are in labour, even if you are going to have your baby here, three minutes. Do it. Come inside.
4. This is not CMS. Do yourself a favour or a service. Challenge your bodies. Seat down. Give me your ears and your hearts.
5. You heard Me talking to Sister Chika Onyema, reminding her that we are not in a CMS congregation. This is not where you can put your eyes on the mountains, with your mouth talking and your hands clapping.
6. WHEREVER YOUR EYES ARE, THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE DRAWN, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
7. GOD DOES NOT TAKE DELIGHT IN PASSIVE WORSHIP. IF YOU ARE SINGING PRAISE TO GOD PASSIVELY, YOU ARE JUST WASTING YOUR TIME BECAUSE YOU ARE ABSENT MINDED.
8. The time when we deceived ourselves into believing that we are serving God in spirit and truth is over. There is something that gives Me joy.
9. Song: “Everybody sitting down in the church is claiming to be a child of God, but God knows His own. Everybody is carrying Bible claiming to be a child of God, but God knows His own. HE who we worship already knows His own
10. The Great Jehovah who we worship already knows His own”. Amen.
11. MY COMFORT REMAINS THE UNCHANGEABLE, IMMOVABLE AND UNBREAKABLE WORD OF GOD.
12. WHAT IS MORE? I AM THE LIVING WORD THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, IF YOU KNOW WHERE HEAVEN IS. IF YOU KNOW WHERE HEAVEN IS, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE HAPPY.
13. ONLY GOD IS LIVING IN HEAVEN, WITH THE EARTH AS HIS FOOTSTOOL.
14. Our new year Message for the year 2018 told us that there is no type of story we will not hear this year and that no matter the story, remain unshakable and immovable. You will equally hear that a whole family have left the Faith. Give God the Glory, for He knew those that belong to Him.
15. You might be claiming them to be your Brethren, but God will say, “I have tried them that call themselves Brethren, only to discover that they are false Brethren.”
16. This is a part of those stories we are anticipating. If you hear that families have broken into pieces, he said, “Give God the praise.”
17. You hear a family ate the food they prepared and all died in the bed, he said, “Give God the praise.” Pay attention.
18. My family knows this Truth. Elders that come near me know this Truth.
19. What God stemmed down is the tide of death in His judgment in the Bride, but the judgment is still on. Bro Ojiakor, did I tell you that? How is He judging? He is marking those that are endued with the Holy Spirit, which is GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP and the Spirit of God can never find fault with the Spirit of God.
20. Pay attention! The Apostles knew it. The Prophets of old heard it that judgment must start among God’s people in the Fellowship.
21. It does not mean killing them. No! He is marking those that belong to Him. Although all of them are in the Fellowship, both the tares and the wheat, but He is marking them.
22. But those that do not belong to Him, He knows also. If He says all hypocrites, unbelievers can never endure till the end, nobody will help Him.
23. If He said He is going to frustrate them, they will be coming to Fellowship, yet they have been marked out, nobody will challenge Him. He knows what He is doing. I now go to the pulpit.
24. I know you all listened to the stories that emanated from Nsukka. They are mere stories.
25. Is anybody shaking in mind that such a thing could come out from there? No No No No! No No No No No! It gives Me joy.
26. I am the happiest because this is what the Message has produced there. This is what the Message has produced there. No more. No less.
27. And I will go to the pulpit in My own way. You will hear My Voice which you know is the Voice of the Word, for I do not know how to argue any case.
28. You know in a law court, note one thing common there. The plaintiff assumes he is winning his case with his advocate. After making their presentations and closed their presentations, wait until they are re-examined.
29. The case will begin to tilt away from what they were thinking and what is common with the law? All lawyers knew this to be truth.
30. There is no other supermarket a lawyer has, than that chamber. He is not selling anything in the market. He is selling what he has. And that is that chamber.
31. If he stands in for you or advocates for you and you win, you are bound to pay him. If you lose, you must pay him. If he advises you, you will pay. He is not there for sitting sake. Amen.
32. You cannot tell Me that your lawyer is not bright in defending you because in a court, somebody must lose and somebody must win. This is the truth about the whole thing. The more plausible argument wins. Remember, it is argument. It does not contain truth o.
33. What do they call truth? Citations which they read and how they were handled. Anyone who could search more will get more facts. I mean, theoretical records, facts, preserved from London, from America, from South Africa as contained in their textbooks and in their law books.
34. Then the judge will be nodding his head and saying, “This is a bright lawyer. He is a bright lawyer.” That is why they first of all call themselves learned people for they remain reading, day and night to outclass their opponents.
35. That is not why we are here. We are here for something greater than that.
36. Do you know what Jesus saw in them and declared, “Woe unto you lawyers!” There shall be suffering for you lawyers so-called. People that falsify, twist and misinterpret facts. Who can claim that the evidence of a human hand from a cannibal is the hand of a monkey.
37. My lord, I put it to him. I make bold to declare it.
38. If you see how they are shaking with their costume. In the court, they will box, pretending to be fighting for the judge to call them to order. Outside the court, they will embrace, for they are sharing somebody’s money.
40. Every lawyer is trying to get his own fair share of the money that is coming from that suit. Sometimes, they invite themselves into cases. Yes! Too many cases abound, “My lord, I am standing for him” when he never even reasoned with the person involved.
41. Often times they trick ignorant litigants into signing their signatures before agreements will be written.
42. Was it not why Nnamdi Ogbogu was nearly imprisoned at Ogidi court? A lawyer told him, he the [lawyer] was in a haste, brought letterhead, scribbled something and gave him to go and type.
43. Nnamdi came. It became a letterhead. Nnamdi scribbled his signature and everything and put date. The man said, “Ok. In the evening come and take the agreement.”
44. He stipulated one hundred and fifty thousand naira. Nnamdi did not see it until he lost his case with his brother. The man demanded his one hundred and fifty thousand naira. Nnamdi shivered.
45. How did you sign this nonsense?
46. I did not see anything o. He only put his chambers and everything in a plain sheet and told me to go and do it there. And now it is carrying his stamp. It is carrying everything. But who signed this signature? He said, “I signed.” I said, “OK, Thank you.” He tricked me. Amen.
47. Now, I am not going to dwell on the law. I am dwelling on the papers before me. Thank you very much.
48. If you know you are happy with the developments at Nsukka, show by raising your hand. If you know you came from Nsukka today, stand up. Young and old. Man and woman. If you know you came from Nsukka today, I say, stand up. Young and old. Man and woman. I want to see you standing. Ok. Sit down.
49. I want to make sure that I have more than two witnesses from Nsukka and eyes saw it that all sitting down today worshipping the LORD in spirit and truth, not even one is happy with the development at Nsukka. OK.
50. I am the happiest. I am overjoyed because of it for if these things do not happen, how can the Prophecies be fulfilled? Do you think that hell will be empty?
51. Hell will never be empty. Somebody must be there. What am I saying?
52. I remember when the pastor in charge of Baptist church sponsored the youth to fight their choir master and oust him from office so that Bro Shed will be used.
53. Fighting ensued in the church. They carried benches and wounded everybody.
54. A deacon fighting in defense of the pastor used his hand to hit the choir master’s teeth out of the mouth and the finger remained bent till he died.
55. A woman who was virtuous stood up and shouted, “Heaven is far.” Heaven is far. Amen.
56. I think I was asked to rush to their rescue. That if I do not hasten up, somebody may be beaten to death, then newspapers [the press] will write.
57. May be you never paid attention and I rushed to their rescue by inviting them because it is cheaper and much more convenient for them to come than for Me to go. Amen.
58. So, I expedited action by nipping it in the bud in my own way. Let Me come here. Pray that I should not be moving up and down.
59. I want to appreciate the petitioners for bringing to My notice what they perceive to be a horrible condition Nsukka Fellowship found herself in.
60. The petitioners, you hear their names: Bro Sunday Chukwu and Bro Joe Ogbuka. They represented a faction and not the entire Congregation, because according to the write-ups, Nsukka now has two different factions in their Fellowship: The Oppressors and the Oppressed.
61. So, the petitioners belong to the Oppressed. So I heard nothing but the voices of the Oppressed. Instead of keeping quiet, they decided to break the ice so that the situation can be addressed.
62. Thank you very much for taking the bull by the horn.
63. In My own way also, I forwarded copies of their petitions to the Pastor who equally responded within the time frame I gave him and that enabled Me to have an in-depth knowledge of what really happened on that 19th day of September, they were quoting and which was on a Wednesday: The last straw that broke the camel’s back.
64. I am very happy. All of you are intelligent. There is nobody here I can say is mentally bereft to the point that he cannot understand the hand writing on the wall.
65. I am aware that uneasy calm reigns at Nsukka and I know the cause. Before I will address the letters or the petitions, follow Me as we read the Amplified version of the Bible.
66. The Book of Jeremiah 9:23-24. Please be fast because I want you to leave here on time.
67. If not for your human weaknesses, I would have addressed this problem with the Spoken Word, but nevertheless, seeing we are having doctrines, where these things had already been addressed, necessity is laid upon Me to point you to the written Word, from where I can now speak.
68. Jeremiah 9:23-24.
69. Verse 23“ Thus says the Lord: Let not the one who is wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skills, let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches”;
70. Verse 24: But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character,…
71. Directly discerning and recognizing My ways of doing things, because people that are personally acquainted with Me over the years do not trail on a dangerous ground.
72. They do not trail on a matter that can make Me to evoke the Scriptures, the words of the prophets and Apostles from where I will draw My strength to speak. For whosoever God sends, speaks the Word of God, for the Spirit of God is in Him without measure.
73. Verse 24: “But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord”. Period!
74. By this, I have introduced My divine attributes. And from what I have defined My character to be, you can be in a better position now to give Me your attention.
75. Since it took them time to write in long hands, went to mobile business centres to type volumes just to show Me the extent they felt aggrieved, I must also take out time to read the petitions between the lines.
76. If I do not do it, My labour at Nsukka may be wasted, but I am trusting He that is in Me that My labour at Nsukka can never be wasted.
77. I am a Warrior. I have seen 99. 100 means nothing. There is no rebellion I have not curtailed, even rebellion from the highest quarters. So, give Me audience.
78. I have introduced Myself. If you say you know the Son of Man, but you do not know Me by these qualities, you are being deceived by the thoughts and imaginations of your heart.
79. I DO NOT FAVOUR ANYBODY. I FAVOUR TRUTH. I DO NOT TAKE SIDE WITH ANYBODY. I TAKE SIDE WITH THE TRUTH. AND CHRIST IS THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE. AND I AM HERE. IF YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWEDGE ME AS THE LORD, THAT IS THE BEGINNING OF YOUR FAILURE.
80. IN THE TWO PETITIONS, YOU ALL ADDRESSED ME AS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, YOUR FINAL BUS STOP AND THAT IS WHAT I AM.
81. IT IS NOT BECAUSE YOU ACKNOWLEDGED IT OR YOU WROTE IT. IT IS WHAT I AM. EVEN THE ANGELS BOW DOWN BEFORE ME. HEAVEN AND EARTH BOW DOWN BEFORE ME, FOR THEY ARE ALL MY CREATURES.
82. A father that takes sides while handling the feud between his sons and daughters, is he a good father? Thank you. So, I am in the right Spirit.
83. I went through the petitions. If you go to the investigative judgment of god before the translation of the saints, you will be very happy with whatever you are going to hear from Me.
84. Anybody can work by hearsay, but not The Son of Man. My eyes run to and fro all over the earth and My ears are attentive to all your secret conversation.
85. Whenever two come together to discuss, I am there. I open My record and document all they discussed.
86. When this problem started, it started as mere complaint, verbal complaint. I kept quiet. I prayed that it should metamorphose into written complaint. What is more? Brother Joe, as I know him, has always been vocal, being a lawyer.
87. He called Me over the phone to narrate what was happening. I said, “No. I would like to have it as a document.” He said, “Thank you Daddy. I have already documented it. I will forward it.” I said, “I am interested.”
88. He said he was not alone and that there some others who are equally not having it easy in Nsukka Fellowship, especially with the Pastor. And that they lack the boldness to come forward.
89. I said, “Praise be to God. Talk to them. Encourage them to come forward.”
90. So, last Sunday, Bro Sunday Chukwu gave Me his own petition. I knew it was a petition. Bro Joe handed his own in. I went home. Apart from this two, I received no other.
91. I never called any of them to discuss the petitions. Neither did I call their Pastor, even till now. I never.
92. I only instructed Brother Chizoba while I was lying in the bed in the hospital to put up the letter on My behalf which I dictated from My bed and he [Pastor Chizoba] forwarded it to him [Pastor Chibuzor] through his e-mail box. He replied through My e-mail box, which our Pastor Chizoba controls for Me.
93. I went through everything and till this day, I never dialed his number. Neither did I dial that of Bro Joe Ogbuka or Bro Sunday to discuss their petitions.
94. It is a case that is pending in My court and I would not be in a haste. I am at home. I only called them yesterday or Friday, so to say, demanding that all of them should be here live, today. Bro Joe gave Me his consent. Bro Sunny gave Me his consent.
95. I told the Pastor, “Go to Bishop John and Pastor Elijah, Pastor Simeon. Tell them that I would like to see them also in the Fellowship.” He said, “Daddy, consider it done.” I prayed that they should be here in good time and they arrived on time, in spite of the horrible nature of that their road.
96. So, you are all welcome. I personally decided to make your petitions public, for one man’s impression may be over-exaggerated.
97. I would have replied or checked whatever might be the spirit in writing. But I believe with all My heart that this problem is not peculiar with Nsukka alone, because a similar thing is happening at Umuahia.
98. It might be happening in Onitsha, but My presence is hindering people from opening up. It might be happening elsewhere. For that reason, I have decided to address this matter publicly from the pulpit as a Teaching and as a Doctrine which we all know. We have all of them.
99. I just want to put you in remembrance, lest you have forgotten. This is because whatever they documented was summarized in a statement: TOTAL DEPARTURE FROM THE FAITH OF CHRIST.
100. They simply announced to Me that they have left the Faith. I will go back there again and show you few points.
101. I know many of you are educated. The body language of the petitions; I repeat. The body language of the two petitions are one. They are naked manifestations of the unacceptance of the Pastor. Open and direct attack on the Pastor.
102. Reason being that the hate existed between them and the Pastor’s mother, for which cause it has become a crime for the Pastor to be drawn from such a family.
103. Hence, the horrifying, obnoxious and unwarranted language, CABAL. Nobody has ever had the boldness to address his Brother, his Sister in this Faith as a cabal, talkmore of calling the person a Fulani herdsman, all in the attempt to buttress a minor issue.
104. Even if you call him Devil, it is unwarranted. The body language is very offensive to The Son of Man, to The Most High God and to every sane person.
105. The body language never depicted anything love. You were asking to be corrected in love, but you manifested the greatest hate while addressing the matter.
106. An Igbo adage says that soft spoken words help to bring tempers down. Two wrongs can never make a right. There is no good way of doing a wrong thing.
107. Now, pay attention to Me. Before I go to My Word, I want to show you something.
108. If you doubt Me, after go and make photocopies from Bro Ojiakor and the rest. You have created records for yourselves.
109. I can never feign ignorance of something I know very very well. I know that Bro Sunday Chukwu is pompous, proud, boastful, arrogant, and always driving to wield unnecessary influence in Nsukka Fellowship, even when Bro John was the Pastor.
110. Bro John, “True or False?” True sir.
111. When Pastor Elijah came, the trouble escalated. Why? He was the more influential, according to him.
112. As at that time, Bro Joe Ogbuka had not been restored to the Faith and I know that the problem Bro Joe Ogbuka wanted to meddle with is by far older than him, for he never knew the point where they disagreed.
113. I know the problem. All the Elders are aware of the problem. If I should ask you the question, “Do you know the circumstances that surrounded the death of the first wife of Bishop John Ezemachiri? Can you say anything there? Were you there?” Good.
114. Do you know what culminated into his second wife? Do you know how the second wife came into existence?
115. Do you know what brought separation between his late wife and Sister Ogoo, who were in our jargon, we say 5 and 6? They were like salt and water, but salt and water separated because of that marriage.
116. Something that never happened before happened in your Fellowship. Open fighting! Not brawling. All because of that marriage, which attracted My attention. Sit down because I want to talk to you.
117. You see why god made it clear. When you are trying to handle a case between brethren, take heed to yourself, lest you will be tempted to do otherwise. And if you do not know the origin of a matter, do not ever meddle into it.
118. Pay attention everybody. I am aware that for three months running, Bro Joe Ogbuka has never sat down in the Nsukka Fellowship on a Wednesday. He never kept Me in the dark that he is running for the position of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria [SAN]. I am aware.
119. Now, this matter that transpired, which they capitalized on, the last straw that broke the camel’s back, the point in dispute: Bro Joe Ogbuka gave Me an over-exaggerated view of what took place when he was not there.
120. Let Me tell you. You are a lawyer [referring to Bro Joe Ogbuka]. Bro Ifeanyi, you are a lawyer. Sister Ndidi, you are a lawyer, though according to your various degrees. Is there any judge that listens to hearsay? Can a judge use hearsay to determine a case? So, Bro Joe, you made a no case submission.
121. If I am to handle your case in a court, I will lash you very well. That what you presented is an unbecoming paper from a clerk that is vying for a Senior Advocate.
122. You should have known more than that. You should also know that I am The Supreme Judge, The Supreme Lawgiver. I ratify all cases. Do you not know that you fuel crisis when you use hearsay that is one-sided?
123. After hearing from Sunny Chukwu, did you make any effort to go to the Pastor to listen to his own version? Simply because your heart was made up.
124. He told Me he was going to excommunicate you and I said, “Go ahead! Keep him out of Fellowship, for I never permitted him to absent himself from the Wednesday fellowship.”
125. How can I give such a ticket to anybody, when I have told you here, “If there be any work you are doing that hinders you from Fellowship of the Saints, examine it, the work is not from God, for God cannot sponsor a coup against Himself.”
126. God who said, “Forsake not the gathering of the Saints as is the manner of some.” Can he now turn round to exempt you because of money? Who are you?
127. Chief Umezulike, a chief judge, Professor of argument, is he not in the grave? Nikki Tobi, is he not in the grave? What of other masters you know well? You see why this House is the House of Truth?
128. I am not against petition, but let Me talk to him. Who was responsible for these entire feud? Sunny Chukwu.
129. Even the wife knows the truth. The in-laws know the truth. His junior brother Friday knows the truth. If there be anybody from Nsukka or among the Elders, who is saying otherwise, that person is a coward. That person is not worthy, even to be in this Faith.
130. I love Bro Sunny. He knows that I love him. But I do not need to go ahead brandishing it. This is because love is corrective and what I am now doing is manifestation of love, otherwise, he is perishing. He was the one that misinformed Bro Joe Ogbuka.
131. Bro Joe Ogbuka now capitalized on the threat of excommunication and other rumours and gossips from idle people in their Fellowship which he listened to and then began to write.
132. And he wrote frivolously, he wrote without respite. What I saw was just mere display of rampant folly from your office. I never saw anything academic in it. If that is what academia is all about, to hell with it.
133. Academia entails that it must be investigation before judgment and the accused has the right of fair hearing. If I should receive the petitions, did photocopies, used My letterhead and forwarded to the person that was accused, giving him time to make his defense, why did you not do that? You had already taken sides. Let Me tell you. You compromised your conscience.
134. To you Sunny, I know the extent you have been moving, trying to sow seeds of discord among the Brethren. You and your cohorts prompted the message I gave here that, OVER PROTECTION OF SELF-EGO LEADS TO UNBELIEF.

THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE
1. He feels he is being ridiculed. Apart from The Son of Man, no Elder, no Minister in this Faith can say this to Sunny. But, should it be so?
2. Now I go to the Word, but I want to highlight few things there. There was no day Nsukka flexed muscles against each other after Fellowship. Since this Pastor Chibuzor assumed that office, no day has it happened.
3. Ezemachiri stand up. Has it ever happened? “No sir.” Let Me see another Brother from Nsukka. Bro Simeon, has it ever happened? Has it ever happened? “No sir.” Thank you very much. I know the reason. Sit down.
4. Nsukka came to a point where all of them became drunks. They were coming to Fellowship with local dry gin and Gordon’s Dry Gin®.
5. They were even drinking, even in the pulpit. Because their former Pastor Elijah loves drinking, he was encouraging it and was drinking more than the Congregation.
6. Nsukka became a jesting centre. There was every need for an overhaul.
7. I am not a fool. I know it has always been a fight and a fact to move people from one dispensation to another.
8. To make a people to agree to change from their norm which had been long established had always been a fight and a fact. Check it very well. It has never been an easy task.
9. I knew I ignited trouble, but I showed the whole world of believers from the prophecies, from the Scriptures that God had earlier prophesied a day coming when the youth will become Pastors, replete in all our Messages.
10. I showed from the Scriptures, youth that were not married who God ordained Ministers, Pastors over churches.
11. I knew many must be provoked, People like Sunny. His age has always been his problem, his intelligence academically and his weight. Sit down.
12. I did not ask you to stand up, but you did well by standing. If you sit down and you cannot hear Me, if you stand up, you will never hear Me. Hearing means understanding.
13. If you never misinformed Bro Joe Ogbuka, he would not have acted wrongly. So, Bro Joe Ogbuka, you were sincerely wrong. You were sincerely wrong. That was why I tamed you, so that you will stand quoting, by telling you to put it in a document form, so that I can have a document that can be credited to you. Yes!
14. I pulled you. You pulled him. You people came together, wrote the same thing, submitted it the same date. The body language the same. Sit down!
15. I am not making a case for anybody. If there is anything called cabal in Nsukka, The Son of Man does not know it. The Son of Man does not recognize it. I know there was a time such a thing existed like we heard it from the Pastor’s letter that it was then, but it had already been phased out.
16. And that was the time there was crisis over the death of Chinyere Ezemachiri. You can remember the role I played, even bringing the people from Edem-Ani to come and exhume somebody they had already buried.
17. In short, the people came begging Me for forgiveness, for I insisted the corpse must be exhumed.
18. The elders of the land came, threw their weight behind Me and said they were sorry. The police officer came, knelt down. He was sorry and asked Me if there was no other way of handling the matter if not by exhuming the corpse. I said yes to know their reaction.
19. Finally, I soft-pedalled and then we went there, did something I did at the graveside, we came back to your home town, Ohebe-Dim and all their daughters, the elders of the land, everybody came there to give a befitting burial to your late wife, while the body was interred in her hometown. Was it not what happened?
20. And the people of Edem-Ani still hold Me to a high esteem till today for delivering right judgment. Initially it was as if they were going to kill Ezemachiri.
21. Did I spare Ezema? I, first of all, clamped down on him, for he refused to do what he should have done and the lady died. All that took sides with him, I punished all of them.
22. So, before you put anything down or listen to jargon, be in the right frame of mind. Anybody can talk. Talk the way you want. I am a human being. I have a sense of judgment.
23. You cannot hinder me from carrying out investigation. The way I will carry it out, you do not know.
24. May be you do not know that I have been privileged to listen to the Messages that transpired within that period. Every Wednesday, short short exhortations. Let Me go back to the point you were trying to establish.
25. It will take a foolish and blind Pastor to give somebody a blank cheque to mount the pulpit to give testimony because he came to Onitsha and the person will come there to give the testimony mutatis mutandis (Verbatim). Will they go home that day?
26. Tell Me the crime if the Pastor will say, “Please we want the salient points, This is evening services, Seeing that on Sunday, we will gather to consider this Message. Even here, we do it.
27. When we go out for anything at all, we will come back here to give testimony we will direct the person that would be called to give testimony on our behalf, “Look at the way you will go. Tell us the salient points.”
28. We do not want verbatim, for there are so many irrelevances the person may like to bring in.
29. Now, what can you say in a situation where about five or seven of them that are here today will go home, only for the Pastor to call them to come and give testimony of what happened. It then means they will have night vigil. That is not all.
30. Even while reading our Sermon Books, if I tell you to go to the Message, you hear Me, “Jump that chapter. Jump that chapter.” This is done especially when they are not relevant to our meeting. “Jump it! Go to chapter 5, for that is where the matter is.”
31. Not telling Me you want to read how we went to Nsukka. We ate pounded yam. We went to Ogbor Hill. We ate cassava fufu. We went to Nkpor. Masquerade pursued us.
32. Is that why we are gathered? When the matter can be found in chapter 10. Go there!
33. But if you want to have it verbatim, take the Message to your house. Stay there! Wednesday meetings are meant to be brief.
34. Here in Onitsha, it is one hour, One hour! 6 o’clock, they are on their way creating room for road hazards. Amen. So, there is nothing wrong in telling whosoever that is involved it is a wrong spirit.
35. And let Me ask you this question. What is the essence of this anointing before testimony? What is the essence of that “bring me olive oil? Let me anoint.” Is it not impersonating spirit? This is Okechukwu Omerengwa’s spirit. Okechukwu John of Isiala Ngwa. That is how it starts.
36. If the Pastor will be there and out of the numerous people that visited Onitsha for anything and the Pastor will say, “Brother, come and give us testimony”, “Sister get ready to give us testimony”, you command that you should be given Olive oil for anointing and then look at the thing he wrote there.
37. You are asked to come and give testimony of what happened before your presence, but said, nothing stops him from going through some other Sermon Books.
38. In other words, it is an indirect way of taking the pulpit without permission from the Pastor. Why? He does not recognize him [the Pastor]. He does not acknowledge his [Pastor’s] authority over him.
39. Nobody has any right to mount the pulpit without the Pastor authorizing it, even here in Onitsha. If you come to Me, I refer you to the Pastor. If he has the chance, he will tell you to go. But he will never ask you the Message you are going to preach.
40. We do not sensor Messages. So, the pulpit is not open to everybody, otherwise nobody will be accountable for that pulpit. Somebody is placed there as overseer. I will go to them.
41. So, if you are asked to come and give testimony and you say, “give me Sermon Book”, walk that person out. Come and give testimony, you say “Give me Bible”, walk the person out. He does not know the meaning of testimony.
42. Testimony means you were an eye witness and a partaker. Come and summarize what happened there, avoiding irrelevances that will keep us waiting, because they wanted to know what transpired as it affected them.
43. Not going there to tell Me how I slapped Bro Goddy and Bro Goddy lifted Me and floored Me on the ground. Was it the testimony? Was it the reason why you came? If you have a Message, go to your Pastor.
44. Tell him you have a Message for the Brethren
45. Remember, he [the pastor] is there with the anointing that is higher than you. The prophet made it clear, no matter the age of your pastor, god gave him anointing higher than the congregation. That is why he is their leader. He places him above all.
46. I will go there and you will know what I am saying. I am not making a case for your Pastor. If I should make a case, I will make a case for Myself and the Word will depict it.
47. It is a light thing in your eyes, but this is the greatest crime anybody can commit. And nobody has ever committed it and wriggled out of it so easily because it is an open challenge to The Office of The Son of Man.
48. Pay attention. That the Son of Man gave a Local Assembly, a cabal for a Pastor. That I gave them a Boko Haram for a Pastor.
49. Simply because My choice never agreed with their choice. I made My choice from among them and My choice did not sink well with them.
50. They wanted somebody they will be tailoring and tele-guiding. Somebody who will be dancing to their tune.
51. Now I gave them a despotic leader, for that is exactly what Nsukka needs. I know the need of every Local Assembly. Nsukka does not need a soft hand. Amen.
