BRIDAL PUBLIC ADDRESS PART 2 VOLUME 3 TO ALL THE ELECT OF GOD WORLDWIDE PREACHED ON SUNDAY, 3RD MAY 2020 AT BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY
Let Me tell you something you do not know. The traditional religion believes in Amadioha and also believes in the Almighty God. The Christian faith believes that there is Jesus and also believes that there is Almighty God. The Moslem believes that there is Mohammed and also believes that there is Almighty God. To you that is in this Faith, do you believe that there is Son of Man and there is Almighty God? You have to answer the question yourself.

YOUR MUST HAVE YOUR OWN PERCEPTION OF WHO GOD IS [1]
WHO IS THIS MAN [THE SON OF MAN] PART 1 VOLUME 2; Page 108 from verse 26 down.
26Whatever you perceive, whatever is your own personal perception about this Man determines your allegiance to Him. It determines the way you will begin to treat Him from this day.
No matter whom you are; no matter your relationship with Him, your own personal perception of this Man is what will help you from now henceforth.
Again. 26Whatever you perceive, whatever is your own personal perception about this Man determines your allegiance to Him. It determines the way you will begin to treat Him from this day.
No matter whom you are; no matter your relationship with Him, your own personal perception of this Man is what will help you from now henceforth.
Do you believe it?
IT WAS THE PERCEPTION OF THOMAS CONCERNING HIM THAT MADE JESUS THE CHRIST TO BE “MY LORD AND MY GOD.” Yes! TITUS PERCEPTION MADE HIM TO BE “THE GREAT GOD”.
THE CLOUD IS HERE.
27Another person’s perception made him “the Beelzebub”. The other person’s perception made him a fornicator, a drunkard, a friend of evil people. Another person’s perception made him a good man. The other person’s perception gave him an evil man, a deceiver [and] a dupe.
What is your own perception? Sure!!! Who is this Man to you? You must give this Man a name. Do not tell me what others are saying. Say your own and stick to your own.
Convinced and be concerned!
Say your own and stick to your own. Who is this Man to you?
SAY YOUR OWN, AND ALSO STICK TO YOUR OWN. Rahab saw them as Saviours. Lot saw them as Saviours. Let Me not talk about Abraham. But the rest saw them as infidels. SAY YOUR OWN AND ALSO STICK TO YOUR OWN.
27…Say your own and stick your own. Hold unto your own perception and things will happen to you directly as an individual according to your own individual perception of who God is.
I told you that this is what I am led to deliver as My address, for this is where they missed it all. And if I do not go back to this point where they missed it all, every family is lost. Every family is lost.
WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL CONVICTION OF THIS MAN, AND WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU, SERVING GOD IS NO LONGER A BURDEN. SERVING GOD BECOMES A PLEASURE AND NO LONGER A BURDEN. NOBODY CAN MURMUR. NOBODY CAN COMPLAIN.
It was not a burden to those who served before us. They saw it as a wonderful opportunity. A privilege. True or false? Hosting Messengers of God was regarded as a wonderful privilege, for that was God’s visitation.
For many were desiring, but only a few got it. In the land of men, only a widow [2 Kings 4:1 – 7]. In the land of Zarephath only a widow [1 Kings 17:8 – 24]. In the land of Syria, only a man; Naaman [2 Kings 5:1 – 19]. In the days of Jesus, in Jericho, only Zacchaeus [Luke 19:1 – 10]. Did you get the Message now? So, it is a privilege. A wonderful one. A big honour.
Do you know what it is that the president comes to Anambra State to visit the state for anything at all, and the president all the way from Abuja makes it known to everybody that he will not lodge in any hotel, that he will lodge in My house?
That he will lodge in this house, “Even if it means sleeping on the bare floor, I will sleep with Apostle Peter Odoemena and the family.” Even if we have nothing to offer, we will say a big “THANK YOU”.
But we must have something to offer, for we can ever allow him to go out empty handed. We will work towards pleasing him, so as to attract his wonderful promises that can never fail. Is it not true?
IT IS BY REVELATION THAT WE WORSHIP GOD. THAT IS WHY ANYTHING THAT IS DONE OUTSIDE REVELATION IS DONE OUTSIDE FAITH. WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN THE FAVOUR OF GOD. [Hebrews 11:6]
IF YOU ARE NOT DOING ANY SERVICE BY FAITH, YOU ARE DOING IT BY SIGHT. IF IT IS NOT BY FAITH, IT IS BY SIGHT. AM I MAKING SENSE?
ONCE IT IS BY SIGHT, YOU ARE EXPECTING MAN’S COMMENDATION. AND WHEN YOU ARE WORKING BY SIGHT, IT THEN MEANS YOU ARE COMPETING WITH PEOPLE.
You cannot be number one so that others will follow. But the moment you hear that somebody has done it, then you will be desiring it. What if you become number one, is it a crime? Is it a crime?
Let Me put it this way. Since this lockdown, we have been here, only one night, I saw our Brother Chinedu Udochukwu and the wife together with the children. They came here together to thank Me, appreciating the palliatives I sent to the family, like I sent to other families.
We were very very happy, receiving them that night. I felt at home. I entertained them. And they never knew I recorded it, for their own good.
Listen to me. Now, we have been working. Although some have been calling over the phone. Yet, they are moving everywhere, both their wife and the children.
Listen to Me. Last week, although I was sick, Apostle Ojiakor came for a mission. We discussed it, and it was useful to Me. I am not talking about those in other states, because there is an interstate ban.
When they call Me, they normally tell Me, “Daddy, we are missing you a lot. Our children are crying”. I will say, “Do not worry. One day we shall see”.
But concerning Onitsha where we are all dwelling, there is no restriction. Now, last week, our Brother Deacon Chibuko came to Me, appealed to Me that the wife and the children have been desiring to come here.
He said that they are desiring to see us, see my face and everything. I said, “With all pleasure. When are they coming?” He said, “Daddy, even if you say this morning”. I said, “Okay. No problem. Let them come in the evening.”
In the evening around 3:30pm, they came. We were all here. You saw them. It was a very happy day. The children rushed out from the vehicle, ran to My sit-out and embraced Me.
From there, we came into the house. We had a good time with them, only that My health could not allow Me to stay longer. Mummy was with them. You saw the children everywhere. They were very happy.
Nobody inspired them. By revelation, they appealed and I granted it. Their motive was pure. Their motive was pure and holy. I could see the sanctity written on their faces. I could see the joy.
We did not make any preparation to host them, because they are not strangers. We have been together. Every day, we are here with Brother Chibuko, but we have missed the wife and the children.
The same way they missed us. They were the people that were desiring to be here, and the came. We received them. Now, watch! From now, watch out!
If they will go home, and some other hypocrites somewhere living around them; hypocrites living around them. I hope you are hearing Me.
When they hear how Brother Chibuko the Deacon, and his family came here, how we jubilated and rejoiced, they will be fixing their own, “I will call Mummy. I will Daddy. I will tell Daddy. Our children are desiring them.”
If you had it in mind, why would you not be number one? Did Brother Chibuko consult you? Did he wait until he heard that somebody had done it before he appealed?
That is how I know those who are working by sight. They compete. I say, they do what? They compete. They do because others have done it. They do not want to be the number one.
They wait until somebody will do. And they will monitor how the person did his own so that they will do the arithmetic on how they will do their own, maybe to outclass that one. Did you get the Message?
So, I am happy that you are all following. You must have the revelation of what you are doing, what you want to do AND Where it will lead you to.
Without revelation, you may not know whether your services will be acceptable or not, for you will be rendering it haphazardly. Anyhow.
Without revelation, there is no quality service. I say, no quality service to God. Quality service to God is rendered due to personal revelation of what God is demanding from you.
27…Who is this man to you? You must give Him a name. Not saying what others are saying. Say your own and stick to your own.
Those who are looking for another God, maybe when they get to heaven, where ever they think heaven is, what if eventually you get there and you see no other person than the One talking to you?
And then He will show you heaven and say, “Thank you, you are welcome. I think you have seen heaven? Now go to hell. I allowed you to come and see it because if you do not see it, you will not feel the pain when you get to hell. You will think that hell is like heaven.”
That is why, all that will go to hell must, from the gate, see paradise. It is barricaded with prism binocular. Prism separates it. Through this glass now, you can see everything.
So, he will see Paradise. Those in Paradise will, through the glass, see hell. That is why He is standing there at the door. Whether you are going to hell or heaven, you will see Him.
He is the one that will sentence you. When you come, you see, “Dead man, go there.” The glass will open. When you get there, the glass will say, “You are undesirable.” You will say, “Sir, it did not open.”
He will say, “Okay. Try this one.” Before you enter, many are there saying, “Come! Bring him! Bring him! Bring him!” A new arrival! But very blind to the truth.
Maybe you have not seen one who is going to cell. If the police officers are bringing him to the cell, those already in the cell will be saying, “Come! Come! Come!”, while you will be running away. This is because they will torture you and then, take whatever you have.
A new arrival! So that you will be carrying their urine and feaces. You will be doing everything, using your cloth as rag. You will lie down, and all of them will sit on you. A new arrival. Yes!
I remember My in-law in those days. Who will be crying and pleading that he should not be allowed to enter the police cell. I will just look at him and ask, “When you were engaging in fraudulent activities, did you not know that you will be caught one day.”
He will be crying and pleading that we should give bribe to prevent the police from putting him into the cell. This place you are pleading that you should not be allowed to enter, is it not the place for the reward of all that you have done in this world?
If you want to avoid going to hell, why not obey God? Why not work with God?
27…Say your own and speak your own. Hold unto your own perception, and things must surely happen to you directly as an individual according to your own individual perception of who God is.
The same way it happened to the woman, Rahab. Begin to place yourself in the shoes of Rahab. Buildings were collapsing. Human beings were dying. Great noise everywhere. You were there. And nobody was running out.
Until the whole thing died down. You just go out to survey. And in awe, you will be saying, “God, I thank you.”
IF I SAY ALMIGHTY GOD WILL NOT SLAUGHTER ME, WHO IS THE ALMIGHTY TO BEGIN WITH? IF I AM AFRAID THAT GOD WILL SLAUGHTER ME, WHICH GOD WILL SLAUGHTER ME? LET ME TELL YOU: I AM THE ONLY BEING THAT CAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE AND PICK IT. BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN……

BEAR THE FRUIT MEET FOR REPENTANCE
It is upon this basis of who God is to you that worship starts, reverence starts, exaltation starts, obedience starts, because you know He is the judge of heaven and earth.
The judge of the whole earth who judges with equity and fairness, without respect of persons, who does not collect bribe.
Give Him bribe, He will pocket it in His pocket and still indict you; even accuse you of offering bribe. You know bribery takes many forms.
And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
CONVINCED AND BE CONCERNED.
But when you lack conviction, there is no way you can show concern. IF YOU ARE NOT Convinced as a human being, THE MATTER ON GROUND does not concern you. AND There is nothing in your life that will show that THE MATTER concerns you.
After all said and done, you will still remain who you are, doing that which you have decided you will be doing because you are not yet convinced. You do not know whether it is true or false.
Instead, what you know is, “I go to church. We are all together. Any day I die, you will bury Me. If I have problem, I will call you.” It will then be a social club. That person is another Shadrach Onah and Echezona, who are in Onitsha and in their families.
29Matthew 21:10 – 11 KJV. [10]And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
30A strange man must have entered with strange behavior.
31 [11]And the multitude said, this is Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. This is what? ….this is Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
32We have seen. Son of Man has become a Prophet acknowledged even by heathens. Just like My son was telling Me that his tutor in their college said that he read our New Year Message.
And [the tutor] said, “It appears all that your Daddy said will happen. 33The much I have read so far, I have seen all of them coming to pass. But He did not give the remedy. What are we going to do to escape? He did not provide it.”
I said “Ok. So you are now demanding the remedy so that you give it to him. Tell him to read it again. The remedy is also there.”
34I have gone through the streets in Onitsha and far beyond, I have never seen any of our publications lying waste. No groundnut seller has ever used a page to wrap groundnut.
Rather, you notice that if you are not careful in a vehicle; if you are holding one, somebody will say, “Let me go through it.” [And] from there, you forget it. And the person will not care to return it again. It is gone.
35If it is valueless, will people be scrambling for it? They will not be scrambling for it. One collected My copy of BRIDAL WATCH Volume 3. After going through it, he said he would read it at home. I accepted.
36When he came to My shop, he did not come with it, I reminded him of it, he said, “Sir, let me tell you the truth. I do not think I will return it again. 37Since you do not want to sell it in the market so that the world will benefit, go and print another one. After all, you are the author.”
38I said, “What if I call you a rogue?” He said, “God knows that what I stole is the Word of God. And because I have made it known to you that I am not returning it, I am not a thief. I seized it because I love it.”
39…We can see the Man becoming the Prophet of Nazareth. From Son of Man to Prophet of Nazareth.
40Thus, it is not out of place if THE SON OF MAN in our midst can turn out to be a Prophet. It is the same Spirit doing the same thing. I hope I am in line?
THIS IS WHY I APPRECIATE TEACHING [AND] MAKING TAPE IN ONITSHA. I USE ONITSHA TO MAKE TAPE, BUT I KNOW WHERE MY FAITH IS.
42Matthew 7 verse 16 – 21. [16]Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [17]Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [18]A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
43 [19]Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [20]Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
44 [21]Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. KJV
45You call Me Lord; you call Me Master. that is what I am. But if I am Lord and Master over you, according to what you are calling Me, why is it that you do not pay heed to My words? Why is it that My word does not have its rightful effect in your life?
46Why is it that My words cannot influence your character positively? Why are you still holding on to the old way of doing things, your old way of reasoning, old way of dressing, [your] old way of talking, [your] old way of drinking [and your] old way of eating? What [then] makes you a new creature?
47Is it not when you dance to the tune of the Message you have received? Is it not when you have hearkened and believed that the Word you have heard will become the spirit dwelling in you? Sure!!!
When you have believed, the Words you have received this morning, this hour will dwell in you as God’s spirit and your life will not be the same.
“Amen” can be ridiculous sometimes. You ridicule “Amen” when your life contradicts your “Amen”. When you say Amen, meaning that you have changed, the change will be seen.
What if you say Amen, signifying that you are changing, and you are still the same? Your Amen is a ridiculous Amen.
48Is it not the spirit of a man that directs his character? By your character I know whether you are with Me or not.
So, it is not calling Me Lord, Master, Daddy, Son of Man, that qualifIES you for the kingdom of heaven, but you MUST do the will of He that sent Me. And this is the will of He that sent Me that you believe in Him whom He has sent.
49…by their fruits, you shall know them. If there be any that does not bear this fruit, he must be destroyed.
50So, this is not the time we make noise and jump up and down. It is upon the perception of who He is, that you begin to bear fruit according to the Faith. You begin to bear the fruit meet for repentance.
51That was why I turned to Brother Shadrach yesterday to reveal what is happening in his house. And it fulfilled perfectly. [This is] because the wife came to Me that same Sunday, [and] I ignored her.
52On Monday, she came back, I ignored her because I knew there was no way she could have reasoned and then made things right as requested by God, [and] that the remedy lies on, “If she will repent and return to God.”
53If she will return to God, the Lord will rebuild her, restore her on the condition that she MUST go and make right the wrongs in her home. … Which she refused and has remained the same till today.
54And then if she truly repented, she would be sorrowful about it, because Godly sorrow worketh repentance. There was never a time she did it. The first port of call would not be THE SON OF MAN. The first port of call will be to the person she injured.
55She must go to the husband and kneel down with tears, apologize for her foolishness, repent and then promise the husband that she will be of good behavior from that day henceforth.
56Second point of call will be to gather the children together, whose consciences she hurt; Apologize to the children and promise to be their mother from that day henceforth.
57Upon that, the husband can then bring her to THE SON OF MAN. …when the husband came, I told the husband, “Remember, your wife has only but today or she is gone and gone till eternity.”
58He said that he knew about it, [and] that he had been preaching in the family altar, reminding her of all this. I said, “Let Me have the review. Have you seen any change in her character?” He said, not even one [bit]. [I asked again], “Has she come to you apologizing?” He said, “No!” Not even saying, “I am sorry?” He said, “No!”
59What of the children? He said, “No. It is life as usual.” I said, “Ok. Thank you very much. That is the much I want to know.”
60But I made a statement, “If I will climb the pulpit today, by the time I come down, that is the end.”
THE WORD OF GOD IS COMING TO US REVEALING US FOR WHO WE REALLY ARE; TO KNOW THE MIND OF GOD CONCERNING OURSELVES; AND TO KNOW HOW GOD SEES US. IF YOU CANNOT SEE YOURSELF THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD, YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHEN GOD IS OFFENDED AT YOU AND WHEN GOD IS HAPPY WITH YOU.

WHY ARE YOU SERVING gOD? [1]
HOLDING UNTO THE CERTAINTY OF THE FAITH: FOR THEREUNTO I AM BORN; VOLUME 1; Preached Sunday, 9th April, 2017. Pg. 15 vs. 1 – 2:
1…The crowd is somehow greater than what it used to be. I hope nothing is compelling you to be here? I hope you are not compelled by fear? I will find it difficult to take you seriously.
2I know you are all monitoring world events. When you see the slightest thing happen, you see people rushing back to God. What?
I know you are all monitoring world events. When you see the slightest thing happen, you see people rushing back to God.
Somebody who is not afraid of God, but whenever there is lightning, you see him running for safety. Yet, you are not afraid of God. Just a little shaking of two weeks. A little shaking. Looking at your faces, I can see fear written.
3Why are you afraid? It is because, from the beginning, you made no enquiry. If you had enquired and you were sure and convinced, nobody will be afraid of anything. Rather, you will be saying, “God, hasten action! Hasten action!”
Convinced and be concerned.
Pg. 20 vs. 18 – 35. 18If you are sitting down here without enquiring about this faith, you are not one of us. You are nominally going to fellowship. It is your right.
19If you are here and you are of age, simply because your parents are here, your relations are here, your husbands are here, your wives are here, for that reason, it becomes your family Church, well, I pity you!
20If you were a minor like we have too many minorS here, and your parentS introduced you to this fellowship of the saintS, the moment you attain the age of adolescenCE – that is 12 years and above—12 years precisely, the number of years the Lord Jesus Christ clocked and then his ministry took off.
21At 12, it is believed that you can differentiate between a man and a woman, Between what is good and what is bad. At 12, it is believed that you know what is best for you. You can even begin to protect your life from untimely death. Is it not true? So, you are a developed human being.
22it is hopeD at that age, if you are still alive and you are still following your parents, common sense demands that you begin to enquire why your parents have decided to settle down in that fellowship. What have they seen in that group that made them to make it their home – their resting PLACE?
23If you do not enquire as an individual and get your own personal conviction about why your parents says it must be this place or never, you are not one of us.
CONVINCED AND BE CONCERNED.
You will be blown about by the wind of time. You would not know exactly what we are doing.
Promise, I hope you are hearing? Good.
24A sure sign is this, your going to fellowship will be through persuasion. If you are not persuaded, you will not go.
And because you have no conviction, there will be no interest. You will never show concern. you can only show concern when you are convinced.
CONVINCED AND BE CONCERNED.
25And the moment you are convinced, your faith settles down. Christ becomes your anchor by day and by night. If your rest is not in Christ, truly speaking, you are lost.
26life is all about Christ. life is not all about marriage, all about money OR wealth, all about education. NO!
27But life is all about Christ, Because the most pitiable individual on earth, the most pitiable human being on earth, is not one that is poor because he has no money or he has no common sense or he is numbered among the physically challenged people in the society, no.
28the most pitiable human being on earth is the human being, who, no matter how highly placed or lowly placed, is living a life void of Christ. That is the most pitiable human being on earth.
29He deserves the greatest pity from whosoever that is acquainted with him or with her because he has no hope of tomorrow.
30And no matter the level of education he acquired without Christ, it is absolutely useless because there is no sense of direction. That is why you see too many people that touched the sky in academic attainment, in wealth acquisition and that is the end of it all.
31What will disarm the whole world is around us. People must surely run helter-skelter. If you really want to understand Me very well, go back to the Message I told you the entire world must go after using their last kobo. And that message is. “This Generation in Prophecy.”
32Whatever that is happening here; by here I mean the entire universe, had already been prophesied, documented by The Son of Man chronologically. The role America will play to ignite Armageddon – the Third World War. The role Russia will play. They were all documented.
33I am here just to confirm the updates. Events are made clear by prophecy. I have received too many print outs from the Internet; all speaking the same thing.
34If you are in the dark, it is because the Light of Christ has not illuminated your heart. If the Light of Truth has ever illuminated your heart, you will not be in the dark again.
35I am not going to talk you as people that are in the dark. I want to talk to you as people whose hearts have been illuminated by the Gospel of Christ, the Truth and nothing but the Truth. Amen.
HOLDING UNTO THE CERTAINTY OF THE FAITH: FOR THEREUNTO I AM BORN; VOLUME 1; Pg. 26 vs. 1. 1For the past two weeks now, we have been talking on the need for all of us to hold the certainty of the Truth. You must not hold Truth, you must hold the certainty of Truth.
You must be sure and certain of what you have believed. You must be sure and certain that you have believed the Truth, nothing but the Truth, and that nobody is deceiving you. Hear Me well.
If you are believing when you are not sure and certain, you are deceiving yourself. You have not even believed. So, God does not want anybody to regret at the end.
HOLDING UNTO THE CERTAINTY OF THE FAITH: FOR THEREUNTO I AM BORN; VOLUME 1; Pg. 27 vs. 4 – 6. 4What is the essence of the gospel of Christ? It is nothing but to present you spotless in the sight of God.
5It is nothing but to make sure that the spirit of Christ dwells in you richly, Presenting you as Christ Himself, The original creature created in the image of God, spotless, without wrinkle or blemish in the sight of God.
Note the essence of the Gospel. If it is not seen in Me, and it is not seen in you, you are wasting your time.
4What is the essence of the gospel of Christ? It is nothing but to present you spotless in the sight of God.
5It is nothing but to make sure that the spirit of Christ dwells in you richly, Presenting you as Christ Himself, The original creature created in the image of God, spotless, without wrinkle or blemish in the sight of God.
6That is why the Apostles prayed, ministered relentlessly, having only but one target: That they will never stop until they saw Christ formed in the believers, for Christ in you the hope of glory. Period!
DO NOT DIE IN THIS CHURCH AS AN UNBELIEVER [OR] AS A HYPOCRITE. OTHERWISE, YOU ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE.
What? Do not die in this Church as an unbeliever [or] as a hypocrite. Otherwise, you are committing suicide.
7THIS FAITH IS THE LAND OF TRUTH. But unfortunately, this Truth is not meant for everybody. TRUTH IS DIRECTED TO THOSE THAT HAVE THE BELIEVING HEART TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH. Is it not true? GOD HAS GIVEN US BELIEVING HEARTS TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH.
8And each time Truth is revealed, according to the Acts of the Apostles, all that were ordained to salvation believed. All that were ordained to condemnation avoided the Truth.
9Thus, if you are ordained to salvation, you are ordained to believe the Truth, For there unto you are born.
11Whatever you are, whatever you are manifesting must be what you are born thereunto. And until you fulfil it, you will never have rest.
12If you are ordained to be a criminal, until you fulfil all the criminal tendencies in your life, you will never have rest. …
Again!
8And each time Truth is revealed, according to the Acts of the Apostles, all that were ordained to salvation believed. All that were ordained to condemnation avoided the Truth.
9Thus, if you are ordained to salvation, you are ordained to believe the Truth, For there unto you are born.
For thereunto you are born. That is why you came into this world as a human being.
The reason why you were created is so that you will believe this Truth, stay in the Truth and follow the Truth till eternity, LIVING THE LIFE OF TRUTH AND NOT OF FALSEHOOD, FOR EVERY MAN IS GOING THE WAY HE IS ORDAINED; AND EVERY WOMAN, THE WAY SHE IS ORDAINED.
12If you are ordained to be a criminal, until you fulfil all the criminal tendencies in your life, you will never have rest. If you are born to fulfill God’s will, you will rest at nothing, you will always be having that sense of non-fulfilment Until you are sure and certain that you have done the will of the father that sent you. For thereunto you are born and you cannot do otherwise. Sure!!! Compelling you to do otherwise means helping you to kill yourself.
14Find out whether you are where you ought to be. Whether you are where you are meant to be, Because if you are not meant to serve God, from creation, you are not ordained to serve God And you be will be forcing yourself into God, You will be doing your conscience more harm than good.
CONVINCED AND BE CONCERNED.
Place yourself where you belong. Are you forcing yourself to serve God? Are you serving God because thereunto you are born, because it is your nature, and because you cannot do otherwise? Why are you serving God?
15And there is no way you can adjust favourably. … There is no way the person can adjust favourably because he does not have that nature and he is not born to serve.
…Whatever he will be doing will be ordinary human manipulations. … I hope we do not have such people in this house, who are merely manipulating themselves, masquerading themselves to resemble children of God.
In God, there is no manipulation, for manipulation does not last long. Manipulation is imitation; fake; counterfeit.
…WHATEVER YOU WILL BE DOING IS ORDINARY HUMAN MANIPULATIONS SO THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT BE TALKING ABOUT YOU ALWAYS.
16You will be manipulating. you will be fabricating. Everything about your life will be counterfeiting. There is no original life. Original life is inborn.
Original life magnets original Word, for that is what the person is made for.
Song: [Original life, original seed. Original Word is what I believe. THE SON OF MAN is revealed; The seventh seal is unveiled. The original life. The original seed.]
There is no one who does not have an in-built instinct that there exists a Supreme God, the various names different people call that God notwithstanding. However, there is no human being on earth, no matter how educated, that has succeeded in establishing God convincingly to everybody, whereby people can lay claim on the reality of His existence. It is on this note that I believe that Only Facts are convincing.
ONLY FACTS ARE CONVINCING; 2006; Pg. 2 paragraph 2.

WHY ARE YOU SERVING gOD? [2]
And that is why if you see somebody who is naturally ordained by God for a good cause and for ONE reason or the other, he begins to misbehave, it does not last long. Sure!!! It is because he is unguided.
16…Original life is inborn. 17And that is why if you see somebody who is naturally ordained by God for a good cause, and for ONE reason or the other, he begins to misbehave, it does not last long. It is because he is unguided.
18The moment he receives the truth, for thereunto he is born, no human being can cage him again. There is nothing you can promise that person that will make him to remain there. He must jump out, for he has heard the voice of his father which he can never resist. Sure!
19If you are not ordained to be in this Bridal Faith, the last move God is making on earth, there is no way you can feel comfortable with all you are going to hear in this faith, For our teachings, our lifestyle will always be provoking you to anger. You will be feEling highly disturbed.
20A sure sign that you are disturbed, you will be avoiding brethren, avoiding fellowship, avoiding contact with anything doctrine of Christ [and the] message of the Son of Man. you would not like to hear them.
They will be making you to feel very much uneasy. Why? It is not a part of you. …
Do we have such people in our midst? Many! Both men and women, and including their children.
…You are trying to fabricate, to manipulate yourself into it. No! Nobody can add himself into Christ, but you are born into Christ. If you are not born in My family, you are not My biological child.
22No matter how you try to manipulate it, you cannot fit in. You can never fit in. No matter how long you have stayed, you can stay in this faith, get married, have children; you are still a stranger to My household. Is it not true?
23IF YOU WERE NOT IN GOD BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN, YOU CANNOT BE ADDED TO GOD ALONG THE WAY.
You can be added to a group. You cannot be added to God, FOR ALL THAT WERE IN CHRIST WERE IN HIM BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN. Documented! SO, THEY WERE BORN INTO CHRIST NOT INTO THE CHURCH.
24…if you are born into Christ, wherever Christ goes, you are going with Him. 25If Christ moves away from this Bridal Faith, and He is found in another place, even if they called it devil, all that belong to Christ will follow Him to the devil’s congregation, for thereunto they are born. Whatever you want to call them, call them. Sure!!!
26If you are born into Roman Catholic, that is where you will die. That is what you will be defending. If you are born into Anglican, you are an Anglican. [If] you are born into Baptist, you are a Baptist. [If] you are born into Deeper Life, you are a Deeper Life.
27That is why, if you go out and make a statement contrary to that which they know, you begin to see them defending their groups; “I am an Anglican”, “I am a Catholic.” You can hardly see one saying, “I am Christ’s.”
28If they want to generalize, they will say, “I am a Christian.” They will ask, “From which group?” Yes!
Sabbatarians say they are Christians. Cherubim and Seraphim, Christians. Every kind of Bible carrier, Christians. AMORC, Christians. All of them, Christians. Which group?
29And these groups do not agree with each other. A Deeper Life pastor can never minister in Roman Catholic Church. A CMS pastor cannot even minister there. A Baptist pastor cannot minister there. Seventh-Days Adventist cannot.
30What can you say about Jehovah’s Witness? Who will allow them in the Deeper Life? But they are all Christians. What can you say about Cherubim and Seraphim, the Sabbatarian, Odozi-obodo and the rest of them? Who will recognize them?
31Yet, all of them form the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). Which means, they are one. Although, they have different names. And yet, each group defends what they believe.
32But in Christ, we are one. One Christ, that is God, One baptism, one doctrine, one spirit, one life, everything one. Unity!
You cannot hear this one believing this, another one believing another. No! the doctrine must be one. The character must be one. The spirit must be one. Everything one. For God is one And His name one.
Doctrine, one. Character, one. God, one. Do you believe it? Then with this, if there be any that is walking contrary, will the person be hidden? It is noticeable at a glance that your character is not fitting to God’s plan.
It is noticeable at a glance that your character is not fitting to God’s plan. Your character is not fitting to God’s plan. That you are doing mere manipulation. You are manipulating it to fit in, but it is not agreeing.
33God is one, His Name one. There must be uniformity in everything, in name, in doctrine, in everything. Thus, this idea of defending, you are defending where you are born. And that is where you have your vested interest.
YOU HAVE VESTED INTEREST WHERE YOU ARE BORN. WHATEVER YOU ARE DEFENDING IS WHAT BELONGS TO YOU.
34If you are born in Christ, you have vested interest in Christ. That is where you will die. that is where you are resurrecting. That is your final resting point. Sure!!! Amen.
35you see, If this place is where you are born into and where you are ordained even before the world began, it then means it is your home. It is your home. Am I making sense?
36Now, there is one particular feature about home which often times we neglect. Your home will flourish depending on how you take care of it. IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR HOME, YOUR HOME WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. Sure!!!
If you do not take care of your home, your home will not take care of you. Sure!!! Reason along the same line with Me.
37A man that does not take care of his home, can that home take care of him? What of children that do not take care of the home? Can that home take care of those children? Well, think properly before you respond.
38Do not just respond because the Son of Man is saying it. Life experiences teach us great lessons. No place is like home. Is it true?
39The home of every true seed of God is Christ. Sure!!! And Christ is the anointed word of God. the word of God is our resting point.
Not catechism, not human idea, not human philosophy as we see them displaying.
In everything, we have a target; That your faith rests not on the words of men but on the words of God. Amen.
HOLDING UNTO THE CERTAINTY OF THE FAITH; FOR THEREUNTO I AM BORN VOLUME 2; Peached on 29th December, 1997 Camp Meeting [Afternoon session]; Page 35 from verse 1.
1Please, I do not know why I vied off. This issue of marriage will put many into hell. It will also put many to heaven. Marriage is likened to the affairs of this life. Be very careful.
2If you are poor AND IMPOVERISHED, you fall within the indigent class, if you manage your poverty very well, you will go to heaven. If you are wealthy and manage your wealth very well, you will go to heaven.
THUS, what takes you to hell or heaven is not the wealth or the poverty, but the way you manage them.
3If in your poverty, you begin to envy the rich, you become jealous, greedy, you begin to think evil, talk evil of the wealthy fellow, you begin to insinuate too many things that do not exist around him, only to paint him bad, definitely, your poverty has taken you to hell fire.
4If you are a rich man and you use your richES, your wealth to benefit the poor, to benefit the masses because the worth of the wealth is measured by its output and not by its input; It is a gift that is not given to you to profit thereby.
5If you use it generously without victimizing the poor, oppressing the widows and the orphans, making unnecessary cases, truly speaking, God will justify you. Your wealth will take you to heaven. HENCE, both wealth and poverty, they are one in the sight of God.
6I am here to declare the wholesome truth, which if you believe, will change your entire life, your entire vision and you have rest of mind, For there can never be the rich without the poor.
Neither can there be poor without the rich. It is one of the laws of diametrical opposition. And you can never be rich and poor.
7But, in effect, you are poor when you are without Christ; Whether you have money or not, before God, you are poor.
THUS, what makes you a poor man is not because you do not have naira and kobo. it is because you do not have Christ.
8If you have Christ, Christ is your sufficiency. Christ becomes your sufficiency. Is that true? Is it not our message? Once you have Christ, you are happy 24 hours. Yes! this is because godliness with contentment is great gain. [1 Timothy 6:6]
9Even if it is water you take, with godliness, you are satisfied. Even if it is ordinary BEANS CAKE (akara). if it is ordinary pap, God will use it to nourish you, provided you are not envying one who is killing goat every day.
10“He is killing cow.” You SHOULD NOT condemn him because he is not responsible for your own estate. God decided to make him rich for reasons best known to God. God also Decided to make you poor for reasons best known to Him.
11What can you say? You have been envying everything. Have you envied the destitute, I mean, the physically challenged person?
Who has ever envied them? Who has ever envied the beggar on the street? Are they not human beings like you? What if you are one of them?
12I want you to place your head on your pillows and have your rest. Because when you meet Christ, all your burdens are laid down. High blood pressure vanishes.
13This is because life will begin to have meaning to you, but to the wicked, life has no meaning because he counts on money. Money! Money! Money! And he becomes restless. Before you know it, his appetite will snap.
14He will be passing sleepless nights. He becomes over-hostile to everybody. A little while, he will be looking for people that are responsible for his hardship, as if he is the only one facing hardship. He will say, “It must be my uncle at home. One woman like that threatened me and said that I must beg bread.” Nobody is responsible!
15 Economic recession is global. The way it is affecting you differs from the way it is affecting another person. Your problems are limited to your capacity. Life challenges are not domicile in any particular place. They are everywhere.
4Number one is CONVICTION. Settle it. Are you convinced about the God that has been revealed in the midst of the Bride who is demanding implicit obedience to His Word and instruction? Are you convinced that He is the true and only God? Are you convinced that He is the Real One. Are you convinced? 5The moment you are convinced, then cometh COMMITMENT. …

WHY ARE YOU SERVING gOD? [3]
HOLDING UNTO THE CERTAINTY OF THE FAITH; FOR THEREUNTO I AM BORN VOLUME 2; Peached on 29th December, 1997 Camp Meeting [Afternoon session]; Page 35 from verse 1.
16Let us face the stark realities of life. Let us serve God. Let us worship the Lord. Serve humanity. More so, when we see the day approaching.
Events around us make everything clearer that we are almost at the end; at the verge of the end of all things. Then, where will you be in the end? Where will you be?
17This is not the time we will be fusing and quarrelling over irrelevant things. NO! NO!
18I was reading something there. LEARN OF ME. I was talking about Watson Fihala. We have the Message, “enquire to know who you are dealing with.”
19You might be wondering what made Watson to make a shipwreck. Could it be that this young man has perished? What will be his position in the end? Please pay attention.
20Learn of Me page 14 verse 14. Preached in 2002, on August 11th. “I was discussing with Bishop Joe this morning…” 21And that is Bishop Joe Ukpong.
22“I was discussing with Bishop Joe this morning concerning our former brother Watson Fihala whom I know we are meeting the other way.”
23…You will know why we are meeting him. … He is not the only one. He is not the only one.
24I am the justifier. I am the Son of Man. if I set you free, you are free indeed. [John 8:36] If I declare you guilty, you are guilty. If I want you to stand, you will stand. If I want you to fail, you will fail. This is pure truth.
25For God knows those that will rise and those that will fall. If you doubt Me, bragging that you cannot do it, what happened to others will happen to you there. You will go there and call Me devil and equally call this Faith false.
26“By and by, he can never get lost…”
Though the flesh be eaten by maggots, for God permitted the devil to torment Job with instruction, “Touch not his soul. Torment him well well.”
28We are meeting him at the other side. By and by, he will never perish. 29“By and by, he can never get lost. He is a true seed.”
30…I know My sheep, My sheep knoweth Me, I call them by their names and they will never perish. Neither will anything snatch them out of My hands.
The Father who gave them to Me is stronger than any mighty force. [John 10:14 – 15, 27 – 29] No matter how that force might be, I do not care. Yes! I AM THE CONSOLATION OF THE SAINTS.
31I always tell you here that you think some people left this Faith, but I do not know one. I do not know any. Until you meet one of them and interact, hear their confessions. You will see how sober they are.
32“He knows what he is doing as an old prophet.” 34“That is why he is liberating people around him and he is the best friend of the Church at Jos. Always associating with them trying to come in with true intenTion.
35I told you clearly, I know Watson Fihala. he is a man without guile. I know that very well.”
37“I know that very well. I know some of you here that are in the bondage of their wives. Because of the nature they have which does not permit you to display what is in you. 38The Message of marriage and divorce is for such people.”
39The Message of MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE is for such people who cannot liberate themselves from the tutelage of their wives, [and] who are always aiming at pleasing their wives contrary to what God said.
40No matter how godly you think you are, no matter how holy spirit-filled, there is no man filled with the Holy Ghost to the brim that is desperate on pleasing his wife without displeasing God.
41No matter how your heart is filled with Holy Spirit, be a Saint even, as long as all your life’s efforts are geared towards pleasing your wife, there is nothing in this world that will stop you from displeasing God.
42You will remain in enmity with God till eternity because there is no way your wife will not behave, talk, act in a way that will make you deny God, [and] live a life that is against God or even live your life against the truth.
You may even persecute an innocent man so as to please your wife. That goes to show that she never proceeded from God.
43“The message marriage and divorce is for such people. I am telling you the truth. I was talking to My wife last night as I was congratulating her because I have never seen an industrious woman like her.
44I admired her so much yesterday, how she mobilized herself and all her maidservants, all that was in the house, she mobilized everyone.
She never knew I was sitting down watching everything. She remained busy in the kitchen from morning till night.
45Very busy. Yet, talking care of the children, [and] combining everything. And by 8:30, the whole house had already finished everything and we were resting.
In short, all that came, ate one after the other because yesterday was a very busy day.”
46I do not want to continue with Watson again. If I commend My wife, find out why. If you are envious, behave like her.
If she commends Me, do not ask why. Rather examine Me very well, scrutinize Me, evaluate Me, use whatever you have and then challenge your husband.
47That is why I love the Brother who made a statement. The wife was always accusing him of neglect. And this Brother is constantly using My wife as example, “Can’t you borrow a cue from Sister Nzubechi? Don’t you see the way she worships her husband? She does not joke with THE SON OF MAN.”
48The husband looked at her from head to toe and said, “Look, let me tell you the whole truth. Any day you start behaving like Nzubechi, I will be behaving like THE SON OF MAN.”
49For that is the Message that is given to us, “Look unto Abraham your father.” To the women, “look unto Sarah, your mother.”
50“Any day Sister Nzubechi becomes your icon, your living example in my house, I will prove to you that I am the representation of THE SON OF MAN. Not when you are misbehaving, you are stubborn even to my instructions, you want me to behave like the Son of Man.”
51Have you not heard even Apostle Kelechi telling you their own experiences concerning Sister Nzubechi, how Son of Man clamps down on her? Instead of reacting, she will be very, very happy and chip in something that will make everybody feel good.
52You think it is easy to marry THE SON OF MAN? Of course, I have told you that I am the worst of all men. That is why I challenge Sister Ngozi here. How I know a good wife.
53IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A GOOD WIFE TO TAME HER HUSBAND. MEN ARE TAMED THE SAME WAY WE TAME WILD ANIMALS.
A RESPONSIBLE WIFE TAMES HER HUSBAND, CAUSES THE HUSBAND TO WALK ORDERLY, [AND] TO THINK HOME BY HER GOOD CHARISMA.
54WHILE A STUPID WIFE REPELS THE HUSBAND. When your character is scary, the man abandons the house. Of course, you know, there are many places that will say, “You are happily welcome.”
55If they welcome a rejected man, do not ever make any noise, for the unwelcome Christ must have a place where they will say, “You are welcome.”
56Great Sermon, Epistle 9, page 235, chapter 3 verse 1-3. “Now, concerning those ministers who left the faith and are now enemies of the faith, I wish to speak for the first time.
58Watson Fihala: All of you were aware how he went about duping Brethren of many thousands of Naira and even duping widows from Church to Church.
59He acknowledged his guilt before all the Elders in this Faith in December 1996 and was collectively dis-fellowshipped from the body of Christ in accordance with our Faith.”
60You see the sin he committed. How many were there in 1996? I am still alive and I was among the Elders. We were twelve Elders drawn from all Local Assemblies including his own in Jos. From Kaduna, Nsen, from Zonkwa, from Aba and the rest of them.
61His case was judged together with Brother Ben Okezue. They were found guilty and sent away. There is something in documentation. Amen.
This is the much I have for you in this address, and I believe it will go round the whole globe. We have not dismissed until we have dismissed for the day.
The Message that went round for consideration is titled; ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE CLOUD OR THE CROWD part 1. My own family is included.
So our fellowship now starts. After My address, we switch over to the general Message that was passed for consideration.
All we have been hearing from morning till now, by My time it should be few minutes to one. Am I right? About twenty or twenty-five minutes to one.
All we have been hearing from morning till now form My address. I call it My second address to every Elect of God worldwide titled, CONVINCED AND BE CONCERNED.
I rounded it by showing you the position of our former teacher Watson Fihala and My expression to his entire family. For without his family, it will be very very impossible for anybody to locate the family of Bishop Joe Ukpong in Akwa Ibom.
And this good work which he did in the name of the Lord must be rewarded by the Almighty God. Wherever THE SON OF MAN is, this family of Fihala Watson must be remembered for their good deeds.
Thank you as we go over the general Message, ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE CLOUD OR THE CROWD?
