CROSS-CHECK YOUR DESCENT Preached On Friday, 18th August 2023 By Bishop Joe Ukpong At the Household of God Akwa-Ibom Nigeria
Approved and Authorized By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN
Transcribed By Sister Peace Ukpong.
My Redeemer liveth and I know He shall come on the last day and stand here upon the Earth (Job 19:25). Who said that God is not a man? Maybe Job told lies that his Redeemer liveth, and he was sure and certain that He must surely come back here on Earth on the last day and stand here upon the Earth. Since He is one, and His Name in one, who can locate Him if He comes back, since Job is no longer here on Earth? Who will introduce Him to us? Who will cause us to recognize Him?

THE TWO FOUNDATION OF OUR EXISTENCE AS WE APPROACH THE END PREACHED ON 30TH JULY 2000 PG 21:28-29

TWO FOUNDATION OF OUR EXISTENCE
We are the most favoured human beings on the planet Earth today. We are actually enjoying the greatest privilege and opportunity any human being born of a woman can enjoy from The Elohim who made Himself visible in human form and also vindicated Himself before us.
- This privilege of worshipping Him is not given to everybody. Many are seeking earnestly for the privilege to worship Him, but He has not given it to them. So this privilege is uncommon.
- We give Him all the praise, all the adoration, all the honour and all the Glory for upholding us, sustaining, keeping us alive and granting us this very uncommon privilege to worship Him in the beauty of His Holiness.
- This morning permit me to take you through a short exhortation titled; CROSS-CHECK YOUR DESCENT. It is very important at a time like this for us to cross-check our descent, that is, derivation from our ancestors; our lineage. For a true seed of God rests. And the secret of his rest is this; he recognizes the rock from where he was hewed, that is, his descent, derivation from his ancestor, his lineage.
- In other words, if he is going back, he cannot fit into any other rock but the very rock from where he was hewed.
- The Lord opened our eyes to see that there are two Ancient of Days.Therefore you are bound to cross-check your descent and know the rock from where you are hewed. Either from the Ancient of Days or from the Ancient Serpent.
- Now, let us proceed to the message; THE TWO FOUNDATIONS OF OUR EXISTENCE AS WE APPROACH THE END Volume 2. Preached on 30th July, 2000 by The Son of Man. Page 71 verses 1-2.
- The two foundations of our existence is standing clear before you. We have the two Ancient of Days, I mean the source of all human races. HUMAN RACE HAS TWO SOURCES: One is Satan, the other one is God.
- Lucifer was an angel like unto God because he had the powers like God also. He could change into any nature he wished. God was working with them having the shape of a human being, Satan was equally there with other angels having the shape of a human being.
- In short, Satan was a man and has remained a man, God has been a man and has remained a man. In Him is the female gene and the male gene. Did you get what I said?
- The Bible said that God made man in His own image and likeness. So Adam was a replica of God. In him like God, was the female gene and the male gene. Let us now go to the Bible.
- Genesis 1:27, KJV. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
- Genesis 5:1-2, KJV. This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
- Since the day that God created man on the Earth, no other great thing like this has happened. For both the righteous branch and the evil branch came through this mankind. Let us continue in the Bible.
- Genesis 2:18, KJV. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. So, God did the first surgical operation and separated the female from the male.
- Genesis 2:21-22. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
- Satan called the devil, never appeared when Adam was alone with the female gene and the male gene. It was after the surgical operation of God separating the female from the male that he appeared.
- He was there as Lucifer the angel when he heard God say unto Adam; “Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, have Dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the Earth”.
- Let us read that in Genesis 1:28, KJV. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
- Before Satan can deceive someone, he will use what he heard God speak to that person. This was what happened in the case of Eve.
- He (Satan) went to her and used what he heard God say to Adam when he was harbouring both the male gene and the female gene to deceive her so as to introduce his seed into the world. So conjugation took place between the ancient Serpent and Eve.
- This thing that happened in the beginning in the garden of Eden can be revealed only by one Man who is The Ancient of Days Himself in His human form called Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN].
- Follow me as we continue in the same message: THE TWO FOUNDATIONS OF OUR EXISTENCE AS WE APPROACH THE END Volume 2. Page 72 verse 4.
- There is something that took place from the very beginning and if I was there; I think I am a faithful witness; I can speak authoritatively. If you were there, you will understand that what I am saying is the truth; but if you were not there, surely you will call it false.
- Turn with me to the Bible once again. 1 John 4:6, LB. But we are children of God; that is why only those who have walked and talked with God will listen to us. Others won’t. That is another way to know whether a message is really from God; for if it is, the world won’t listen to it.
- Only those who have walked and talked with God who is made manifest in our midst today will believe and accept this truth that is coming from the throne of Grace. Others will not.
- It is very easy for any person to claim he believes, obedience is the only evidence that you believe. That is, accepting and practicing what you say you believe. For whatever you believe reflects in your character and daily behaviour.
- If you were not with God in the beginning, you cannot be with God at the end. You see why it is very, very necessary to cross-check your descent, so that you can rest if you are a true seed of God. And if you are not, you stop wasting your time in this most Holy Faith, and simply go your way, and stop claiming what you are not.
- Let us continue with the Bible. 2 Corinthians 11:1-3 LB. I hope you will be patient with me as I keep on talking like a fool. Do bear with me and let me say what is on my heart.
- I am anxious for you with the deep concern of God himself—anxious that your love should be for Christ alone, just as a pure maiden saves her love for one man only, for the one who will be her husband.
- But I am frightened, fearing that in some way you will be led away from your pure and simple devotion to our Lord, just as Eve was deceived by Satan in the Garden of Eden.
- I want you and I to be patient with He, the Spirit of Truth, Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] as He talks to us in a way the world calls foolish. That is why you often hear Him say; “Bear with Me in My foolishness”.
- We must be careful now than before, for the love of many for the truth has waxed cold. The ancient Serpent is fighting harder now than he fought in the beginning, because we are already at the end of all things.
- Now, let us go back and continue in the same message, Page 80 verse 50. The Bible said that Satan beguiled Eve, that is, Satan deceived Eve. We will know the outcome of that deception. The outcome of that deception will tell you what Satan used in beguiling the woman.
- The product of that deception will convince us of what really took place between Eve and Satan. Let us see what came out of that deception. This will take us back to the Bible.
- 1 John 3:11-12, LB. for the message to us from the beginning has been that we should love one another. We are not to be like Cain, who belonged to Satan and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing wrong and he knew very well that his brother’s life was better than his.
- The Bible said Cain who belonged to Satan. That goes to show that the father of Cain is Satan the ancient Serpent, and not the first Adam who was the image and likeness of God.
- Let us hear from our Lord God and Master in the same message. Page 90 verses 60-65. Now, how did Cain come out? The Bible said Satan beguiled Eve. Satan deceived Eve and the result was that Cain was born.
- Then what was that deception that took place in that garden of Eden? If Adam deceived Eve, Cain would have taken the nature of Adam. If God deceived Eve, Cain would have belonged to God.
- When Satan deceived Eve, Eve gave birth to Cain. What then is that deception? It is as clear as the day; fine. Now, because of that deception there was a punishment in Genesis 3:15. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. KJV
- A strong enmity now exists between Satan and Eve. Remember Eve was the one that was deceived and Eve introduced the thing to Adam. Adam did not query it. Adam partook of it and Abel came out. When Abel came out, he had the nature of Adam. These are the two foundations of our existence. Satan and God; first Adam, second Adam.
- I will dwell more on first and second Adam. Notice that we have seen a lineage out of Cain. We have seen a lineage out of God. When I say God, I mean first Adam, because after Abel was killed, he impregnated his wife and she gave birth to a son called Seth. Worshipping of God resumed, but until then, worshipping of God stopped. Thus, two lineages are now out.
- Now, I want us to take note of key points God gave us here. How did Cain come out? The deception that took place in the garden of Eden was a sexual relationship between Satan who was a man with Eve, and Cain was the result. She then introduced it to Adam who did not query it. He also had the same relationship with her and the result was Abel.
- After the death of Abel, he again had the same relationship with Eve and Seth came forth.
- Now, God had already declared that every seed shall bring forth of it’s kind. So the Ancient Serpent brought forth his kind and Adam who was the image and likeness of God brought his kind.
- With Abel, worship of God started. When he died by the hand of Cain, worship of God stopped. When Seth came forth, worship of God resumed. So we can see that only those whose descent is God, The Ancient of Days, worship God.
- Those whose descent is the ancient Serpent do not worship God. These are the two foundations of our existence. The ancient Serpent who is Satan and The Ancient of Days.
- Another thing we must also take note of is the fact that the first Adam had the nature of the second Adam and also the righteousness of the second Adam which he lost when he partook of the relationship with Eve without querying her.
- Satan the ancient Serpent is now putting on white garment also as The Ancient of Days. This is the white garment he (Satan) took away from the first Adam when Adam lost the light of God, which was his righteousness.
- Let us get the reference from the Bible. Revelation 19:8, AMP. She has been permitted to dress in fine (radiant) linen, dazzling and white–for the fine linen is (signifies, represents) the righteousness (the upright, just, and godly living, deeds, and conduct, and right standing with God) of the saints (God’s holy people).
- Another point I want us to take note of in what The Lord told us is, the two foundations of our existence which are Satan and God. “When I say God, I mean first Adam”. Because after Abel was killed, worshipping of God stopped.
- He the first Adam impregnated his wife and she gave birth to a son called Seth, worshipping of God resumed.
- Now let us proceed to the message: ONCE HISTORY IS FORGOTTEN, THE MISTAKE OF THE PAST MUST BE REPEATED Volume 1. Preached on Sunday 24th October, 2021 by The Son of Man. Page 35 verse 20.
- When God became the Ancient of Days, the devil became the Ancient Serpent. It became the battle of two ancients. Ancient of Days versus Ancient Serpent.
- This calls for us all to be conscious and always on alert, for we are in the battle of two ancients. Find out the side you are on right now.
- Let me use the words of the first Adam to advice us at a time like we are in right now. This is found in the same message, Page 39 verse 8.
- “I therefore now command thee in these words: To keep innocency, to be pure and just, and trusting in God; AND LEAN NOT TO THE DISCOURSES OF SATAN, NOR TO THE APPARITIONS IN WHICH HE WILL SHOW HIMSELF TO THEE”.
- I want you to have it behind your mind that we are in a very deadly battle, the battle of two ancients. Satan can come in different forms to deviate you from your target which is eternal life in The Son of Man – Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN]. So, be transparent in all your dealings, lean on, rely and trust in God – The Son of Man.
- Ephesians 6:12-13, KJV. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
- We are already in the evil day and without God Himself appearing in human form, no human being born of a woman can stand the terrible and dangerous hour we are in right now.
- Allow God – Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] to rule, govern and direct you in all affairs of life.
Listen then if you have ears, but where you claim to be ignorant, remain ignorant. In all the Messages, we hear, “Believe it if you can.” Nevertheless, where you cannot believe it, it can never change the truth. The highest thing you can say to the Voice of the Son of Man is that you do not believe. That you do not believe is your right. It is your right to believe, it is also your right not to believe.

DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SPIRIT
Let us continue in the same message:- ONCE HISTORY IS FORGOTTEN, THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST MUST BE REPEATED Volume 1. Page 48 verses 31-32.
- Immediately God became a human being like unto us, the devil became a human being like unto us, for it is only by so doing that he can seduce us away from God. It is only by becoming a human being that he can minister to us live.
- The same way God is ministering to us, live, the devil ministers to people, live.
- Page 50 verses 38-42. So be very careful about spirits you meet in the form of human beings. Be very careful.
- That is why the prophets foretold that oftentimes, people meet spirits that resemble that of God, and listen to them. But before they know it, their hearts are poisoned against the truth. They are seduced away.
- Reference can be found in 1 John 4:1. Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. NIV.
- How do you know it? The devil knows every truth you are getting from God because while God is talking to you the devil is by your side monitoring and hearing. And whatever God has spoken to you is what the devil will use to counter what God has said.
- Sometimes, the devil will confirm all to be true, but will add something like he did to Adam. He did it to Seth. He did it to all that worshipped God, including Lamech.
- Let us refer to the Holy Qur’an. Surah 14:22 Hilali-khan translation. And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: “Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves.
- I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.).”
- If you are a seed of God, you took your nature from God and you will constantly and continually get your motivation from the word spoken by the Lord for you do not need any other interpretation.
- God has never and can never feel comfortable with the devil. So if you come face to face with the Almighty God in His human form and He is not comfortable with you, you have a question mark, you need to find out the answer by cross-checking your descent, your lineage.
- Turn with me to the message; IF YOU DO NOT SERVE GOD RIGHTLY YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CLAIM ETERNAL LIFE Volume 1. Preached on Sunday 18th September 2022 by The Son of Man, The Lord God Almighty. Page 47 verses 10-13.
- We are the same descendants. I say we are the same descendants of Abraham. Whether you are from the Righteous one or the Evil one, all of us were created from one man, Adam. So, as you go through the TESTAMENTS OF THE TWELVE PATRIACHS which exposes the lineage of everybody, you can trace yourself to where you emanated.
- You will know whether you came from the Righteous side of Adam and are numbered among the Righteous descendants of Adam or from the unrighteous descendants.
- One father and one mother had two branches. [1] The Righteous Branch. [2] The Evil branch. And that evil man is still there till today with his descendants. This is to enable you who claim to be righteous or who is born righteous to assess yourself and begin to appreciate what God did for you right from the foundation of the world. He never allotted you a place with the ungodly. What a wonderful privilege worthy of praise.
- My emphasis here is on the statement of our Lord. Whether you are from the Righteous One or the Evil one, all of us were created from one man – Adam. So you can now trace yourself to where you emanated from because that is where you are going back to. One father and one mother had two branches; the righteous branch and the evil branch.
- The Ancient of Days who molded Adam in His image and likeness, had a divine plan and purpose for that. So when Satan thought the forgotten creature – the woman, caused Adam to fall, He the Ancient of Days, the second Adam atoned for their son by Killing an innocent lamb for the guilty and from the skin of the lamb, He clothed them.
- Sin must be atoned by blood. Let us go back to the Bible again. Genesis 3:21, KJV. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
- We can from this scripture recognize the fact that before The Ancient of Days sent the first Adam and his wife out of the garden of Eden, He placed them under the blood of the innocent lamb until He reproduced Himself in human form [the second Adam] to shed his perfect blood, five thousand five hundred years later in fulfilment of His promise to the first Adam to atone for him and his righteous descendants sins.
- Let us see the revelation of Saint Paul in the Bible. 1 Corinthians 15:45-47, KJV. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
- Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
- The first Adam was created or formed by the second Adam who gave him life to become a living soul. So when he [first Adam] fell off from the righteousness of the second Adam, his only hope, help and rescuer remained the second Adam.
- Let us get a better understanding from the Second Adam Himself in the message: THE TWO FOUNDATIONS OF OUR EXISTENCE AS WE APPROACH THE END Volume 2. Page 77 verses 17-21.
- What I am saying is the truth. The Bible said the Second Adam was made a quickening Spirit. Saint John chapter 4:20 said that God is a spirit, they that will worship Him will worship Him in spirit and in truth.
- Remember that this Christ we are talking of, the Bible said, He Himself is the very Almighty God, the Alpha and the Omega. There is no other God beside Him. Even that Adam, this very Christ formed him.
- The Bible said that without Him there was nothing created that was created, both in heaven and on Earth. Moreover, He was even there before the world began. Could it be He learned from His experience?
- If Adam was found in transgression, then there was a time Christ became a sinner. Let me go back for you to understand me. I am talking about the first Adam and the second Adam. The Second Adam used His hands to mould the first Adam. The Second Adam was elder to the first Adam. He was and still is older.
- We want to know something around that first and second Adam, before I will show you a mystery. I want to clear first and second Adam.
- Please take note of this: If Adam was found in transgression, then there was a time Christ became a sinner. Now, the Bible said Adam was not found in transgression, it was the woman Eve that was found in transgression. Adam partook in her transgression without querying her because he was a type of The Christ,
- The sinless taking the place of the sinner. Christ and the Church, which is the woman? The church! What was His aim? Like Christ, to save her from the wrath of God. Let me tell you, The Son of Man can never give us fake information for He is the very Spirit of Truth that has come and taken us to all truths, wherever that truth is, He has uncovered all, even the hidden truths.
- It is quite unfortunate that many even among us do not know who He is. He is The Supreme Intelligence that rules and governs the affairs of the entire universe. Is there anything greater than The Supreme? Nothing is greater than The Supreme.
- He is already The Exalted One, One that has ever been there at the right hand (meaning the authority), from the very beginning of creation. Born to righteousness. Somebody righteousness cannot depart from and can never forsake Him.
- Who do you say He is? I am sure and certain that He is the very Ancient of Days. And nobody attains righteousness if not through Him. Nobody gets eternal life if not from Him.
- Turn with me once again to the message; ONCE HISTORY IS FORGOTTEN, THE MISTAKE OF THE PAST MUST BE REPEATED Volume 1. Page 90 verses 10-28. PAY ATTENTION! You are listening to THE VERY SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA.
- I am not an apparition, I am real. I am one of you. I am your brother. I married Nzubechi Son of Man Odoemena. She is my legal wife. My Divine wife. And she will remain my legal earthly Divine wife even till eternity. That is why all my children are divinely oriented. And this is because they come from my loins.
- I am the divine incarnate. I came to restore God’s family here on earth which was messed up by the devil who appeared to your foster parents, Adam and Eve, in an apparition and deceived the two and brought about the whole confusion.
- I want you to see the revelation Saint Paul had which he was the only one that preached the first Adam and the second Adam. The first Adam was earthly. The Second Adam was spiritual, human and born of a woman. A mystery!
- 1 Corinthians 15:45-47,AMP. Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life]. But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual.
- The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven. LB.
- The Scriptures tell us that the first man, Adam, was given a natural, human body but Christ is more than that, for he was life-giving Spirit.
- First, then, we have these human bodies, and later on God gives us spiritual, heavenly bodies. Adam was made from the dust of the earth, but Christ came from heaven above.
- What formed a human being in the womb of a woman? Something that started with conjugation between the man and the woman, and the drop of the divine sperm into the womb of a woman formed a human being that came out to be the Almighty God.
- The man Gabriel, the name the Almighty decided to assume in appearing before Mary; a pure blooded virgin with a solemn promise; a holy promise; that whatever that is conceived in the womb belongs to God.
- This is the reason why He appeared to Joseph the husband, “Drive not this woman away. I am responsible for her pregnancy. Accept her. I am the one. She never defiled herself with any man. That is my choice of a vessel from where I want to reproduce myself in human form. Be it man or woman, that is my blood”.
- Joseph rejoiced exceedingly and changed his mind from parading the wife to be stoned or humiliating the wife, and accepted the divine gift which is the highest gift a human can receive borne out of love and graciousness; unmerited favour.
- Mathew 1:18-24,Amplified Version. Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place under these circumstances: When His mother Mary had been promised in marriage to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be pregnant [through the power] of the Holy Spirit.
- And her [promised] husband Joseph, being a just and upright man and not willing to expose her publicly and to shame and disgrace her, decided to repudiate and dismiss (divorce) her quietly and secretly.
- But as he was thinking this over, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary [as] your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of (from, out of) the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus [the Greek form of the Hebrew Joshua, which means Savior], for He will save His people from their sins [that is, prevent them from failing and missing the true end and scope of life, which is God].
- All this took place that it might be fulfilled which the Lord had spoken through the prophet, Behold, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel–which, when translated, means, God with us.
- Then Joseph, being aroused from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him: he took [her to his side as] his wife.
- I know this statement will stumble many. I know that many who belong to Cain who belong to Satan must give it different types of interpretations which their evil hearts will begin to give them even from this very day.
- But that will not alter the truth. The truth cannot be altered. Page 97 verses 32-34. L-O-V-E. This is because He has loved us. Before we loved Him, He had first loved us. He loved us so much that He became a human being for our sake to reproduce Himself among human beings which is the only way to counter the devil who manifested himself on earth in the form of a human being using Cain as the first [offspring of] human being.
- God cannot reproduce without using a human being. The devil cannot reproduce without using a human being.
- Who do you resemble? Where do you come from? What is your origin? Who is your father? Do you belong to the lineage of Cain or Seth?
- God has warned right from the original word go, “let not the children of the righteous intermarry, intermingle or be interwoven or be mismated with the lineage of Cain and his descendants throughout the eternity of all eternities”.
- Page 104 verses 52-53. Remember we are children of God and the entire humanity living round about us, they are children of Satan. They are under the power, influence and control of Satan, who first manifested himself in human form through Cain and his lineage.
- And God manifested Himself in human form through Seth and his lineage. Seth! Take note of what I am saying.
- Genesis 5:3, KJV. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.
- Page 107 verses 60-61. Pay attention to me. I am the Almighty that ruleth over the affairs of men. What I do not know does not exist. There is nothing that happens here on earth that takes me unawares. I know the beginning and ending of mankind and all situations.
- That is why I keep on encouraging you to remain steadfast, immovable and unshakable in your faith in Christ. No matter what you are passing through, it started one day. It will end one day. It started one day. It will end one day.
- Almighty God is now a human being, whether you accept it or not, that is the truth. And He promised that all that are relevant to every true seed of God, He must bring to our notice. And that is what He has done and is still doing.
All that believed in Him have been in Him from the foundation of the world. And they are His sons and daughters. They are all heavenly. They have heavenly image. Although they are walking on Earth and representing Him, yet they are heavenly. If they are earthly, everything they will do will be earthly. They will be mindful of earthly things. Nevertheless, because they are heavenly, they are mindful of heavenly things.

CHECK YOUR DESCENT
Turn with me to the message: THUMBPRINT Volume 3. Preached on Sunday 10th July 2022 by The Son of Man. Page 81 verses 9-13.
- You see, God is now a man; He is not acting in man; He is acting through man. That is, He is now wearing man as a mask. Masking Christ – A temple templing Christ.
- If I tell you that I am God for today, I am not telling lies. This is because God is not acting in you; He is acting through me.
- Yes! I AM PETER ODOEMENA; I AM THE MAN. SO, FROM ME HE WILL REACH YOU. SURE!!! I HAVE TO ESPOUSE YOU TO GOD, OTHERWISE YOU ARE LOST. Teaching!
- EVEN THE SCRIPTURE SAID, “NO ONE KNOWETH THE FATHER BUT THE SON. AND NO ONE KNOWETH THE SON BUT THE FATHER, EXCEPT THAT PERSON WHOM HE HAS DECIDED TO REVEAL HIMSELF AS BOTH FATHER AND THE SON. THAT IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT WILL KNOW THAT HE IS THE ONE.
- Believe it if you can, Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] is The Father and also The Son. For The Father and the Son are one.
- Page 69 verses 81-88. Human being is the greatest treasure in every family. True or false? Are you surprised that God decided to hide Himself in an earthen vessel where human beings can hardly go and look for Him?
- When we say God’s treasure, people’s mind will go on money. But God’s treasure is the living Word. And the living Word is dwelling, is being stored in the living soul, the living human being. You are the living soul.
- Man is nothing. A human being is nothing, but something God molded in His own image. And then, God breathed into man’s nostril, His own breath of life and that man became a living soul. He became an amateur God.
- Genesis 2:7, KJV. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
- Psalms 119:11, LB. I have thought much about your words and stored them in my heart so that they would hold me back from sin.
- So when God wants to store His treasure [whatever that makes Him what He is], He stores it in a man so that man will continue with God in harmony and in peace. Do you get the message?
- So you are the written Epistles, written message and written sermon which everybody can see, read and then understand very easily. It is your character. It is your manifestation because it is believed that you will never live a life higher than the teaching you have received.
- But what if you begin to live a life lower than that teaching? It makes you a traitor. It makes you a blasphemer. It makes you a hypocrite, for you are claiming what you are not.
- Page 74 verses 93-94. That is why God is warning us to be very wary and to be very careful that our daily lifestyles do not contradict the teachings we have received. We equally read it in the scriptures.
- 2 Corinthians 4:5-7, King James version first. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
- But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
- Now, do not forget what we are considering: CROSS-CHECK YOUR DESCENT. If God is your descent, you are the vessel He stores His treasure which is His living Word, His breath. And it must reflect in your character. But if Satan is your descent, his work of wickedness you must do and it will also reflect in your character.
- THUMBPRINT Volume 2, Page 96 verses 1-9. How can you be a source of discomfort to God here, and expect to be a source of comfort in the here after. If you cut down a crooked tree, it will remain crooked on the ground.
- The grave does not change a man’s destiny. Rather, it enhances it. The grave does not change a man’s nature. You will still resurrect as whatever you were before you died. On that resurrection morning, you will resurrect with whatever you are.
- THE RIGHTEOUS WILL RESURRECT RIGHTEOUS. THE WICKED, WICKED. THE TWO SIDES OF RESURRECTION. SOME WILL RESURRECT TO FACE CONDEMNATION. SOME WILL RESURRECT TO BE JUSTIFIED. TRUE OR FALSE?
- Two sides of resurrection. Resurrection to eternal life and resurrection to eternal damnation. It depends on what you are here. For it is appointed unto men, once to die. After that, judgement. There is no repentance in the grave where you are heading to.
- ONCE YOU DIE, YOUR DESTINY IS DETERMINED. YOUR DESTINY IS NOT DETERMINED FROM YOUR TAKE OFF, BUT FROM YOUR END POINT. YOU CAN START VERY BADLY AND END VERY WELL. YOU CAN START VERY WELL AND END VERY BADLY. THE CHOICE BELONGS TO YOU.
- THE CHOICE BELONGS TO YOU. ARE YOU DOUBTING ME? WHEN GOD CREATED EVERYTHING HE CREATED, HE LOOKED AT THEM AND SAID THAT THEY WERE ALL GOOD AND PERFECT.
- The Lord never created anything called devil. Lucifer was never a devil from creation. He was the best and the leader of all the angels. Very wise, very intelligent and beautiful. God’s own second [I mean] in power. His right hand man.
- It was so until the pride of the position he occupied infatuated his mind. Then he began to think how it will be if he will exalt himself above the Master.
- Lucifer is that servant that wants to be king over his master. And that is what made him devil. The kingdom of heaven accommodated him but he abandoned it and claimed that there is no space in the kingdom of heaven for him. He wants to be king.
- Page 104 verses 22-27. That servant that wants to be king over his master is the devil. He will abandon the ship and claim that there is no space in the ship for him. The kingdom of heaven accommodated the devil. The kingdom of heaven accommodated all of them, but he wanted to exalt himself above the Almighty God. For that reason, rebellion set in.
- He began to campaign against his master, intending to take the greater part of the angels in a rebellion. He never knew that the master was watching him. The Bible said the devil was perfect until iniquity was found in him.
- Ezekiel 28:13-15, AMP. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the carnelian, topaz, jasper, chrysolite, beryl, onyx, sapphire, carbuncle, and emerald; and your settings and your sockets and engravings were wrought in gold.
- On the day that you were created they were prepared. You were the anointed cherub that covers with overshadowing [wings], and I set you so.
- You were upon the holy mountain of God; you walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire [like the paved work of gleaming sapphire stone upon which the God of Israel walked on Mount Sinai].
- You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created until iniquity and guilt were found in you.
- SIN IS NOT INHERITED. SIN IS COMMITTED. I SAY SIN IS NOT INHERITED. SIN IS NEVER ANYBODY’S INHERITANCE.
22ONCE YOU ARE FROM THE ORIGINAL STOCK, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN DRAW BACK FROM THE TRUTH THAT IS EVIDENTLY SET OUT BEFORE YOU WHICH YOU ARE A PART OF. 23I BEGIN TO ASK THIS QUESTION. IF A SEED OF GOD SHOULD BACKSLIDE, WHAT WILL HE BACKSLIDE INTO? IF I AM A SEED OF GOD FROM THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, WHAT IS THAT SCIENTIFIC FORMULAE OR EQUIPMENT OR EXPERIMENT THAT WILL NOW TRANSFORM ME TO BE DEVIL’S SEED?

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOD AND THE DEVIL’S CHARACTER
God can never feel comfortable with the devil. So if God is not comfortable with you, you need to go and cross-check your foundation, your origin, your lineage.
- Page 119 verse 3. Check your descent. Sin causes separation between us and The Almighty God. Sin brings about separation between us and God. Sin creates a gap between us and God.
- Turn with me to the Bible:- 1 John 3:8-10, AMP. [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning.
- The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].
- No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.
- By this it is made clear who take their nature from God and are His children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children: no one who does not practice righteousness [who does not conform to God’s will in purpose, thought, and action] is of God; neither is anyone who does not love his brother (his fellow believer in Christ).
- Anyone who practices evil doing is of the devil and takes his character from the evil one. But any one begotten of God does not deliberately or knowingly or habitually practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him.
- Same message Page 111 verse 41. Who will be tired of sin? A child of God. Anybody who can never be tired of sin, and he can never be tired of evil does not belong to God. He continues in sin. The Bible said, a child of God does not continue in sin, for the seed of God is in him.
- What is the seed of God? The seed of God is the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth. This seed of God is planted by God Himself in His children. What is His aim? God is building a temple with you and I. That is why Apostle Peter said in his epistle that you and I should present ourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life.
- 1 Peter 2:5, MSG Bible. Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you’ll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God.
- We should present ourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you and I will serve as Holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God.
- Saint Paul in his own letter to the Corinthian church said, you should realize that you are the temple of God and God Himself is present in you.
- 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, MSG Bible. You realize, don’t you, that you are the temple of God, and God himself is present in you? No one will get by with vandalizing God’s temple, you can be sure of that. God’s temple is sacred–and you, remember, are the temple.
- You remember you are the temple of God which is sacred. So, you cannot get by with vandalizing God’s temple by false teachings.
- THUMBPRINT Volume 3, Page 63 verses 64-71. When you are the earthen vessel harbouring God’s treasure, God has stored the treasure which is His word, His spirit. The word of salvation is now stored in you, you become the store house. You become the storage instrument for the word of God.
- 2 Corinthians 4:7, Message Bible:- If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That’s to prevent anyone from confusing God’s incomparable power with us.
- King James version:- BUT WE HAVE THIS TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
- Amplified Version:- HOWEVER, WE POSSESS THIS PRECIOUS TREASURE [THE DIVINE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL] IN [FRAIL, HUMAN] VESSELS OF EARTH, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.
- Good News Bible:- YET WE WHO HAVE THIS SPIRITUAL TREASURE ARE LIKE COMMON CLAY POTS, in order to show that the supreme power belongs to God, not to us.
- Living Bible:- BUT THIS PRECIOUS TREASURE – THIS LIGHT AND POWER THAT NOW SHINE WITHIN US – IS HELD IN A PERISHABLE CONTAINER, THAT IS, IN OUR WEAK BODIES.
- Everyone can see that the glorious power within must be from God and is not our own. Now what will you be reflecting? You will become the written Bible, the written Qur’an, the written holy book which every human being will be reading.
- Whoever that wants to know God, should look at you. IT WILL BE, “AS FATHER LIKE SON”, BECAUSE THE MOMENT YOU SEE THE SON, YOU WILL REMEMBER THE FATHER IF YOU ARE CONVERSANT WITH THE FATHER. BUT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS, YOU WILL NOT KNOW THAT THE SON IS A REPLICA OF HIS FATHER.
- Many do not know the Father who is present with us, He is the second Adam who is the Lord from heaven. Why is it difficult for many to recognize Him? It is because of the human flesh that He is using to mask Himself from His enemies.
- Secondly, the language He constantly use which is: “I am sent by the Father”. Let us see an example of this language in the message: REPUTATION Volume 2. Preached on Sunday 21st June 2020 by The Son of Man. Page 16 Quote in the box.
- I am not sent to come and raise failures, rather I am sent to come and make failures successful, finish! Once I succeed in transforming your lives by giving you new ethical reorientation, by changing your views about life, those that have seen life as a bed of roses will wake up from slumber and together, we will face the Stark realities of life. [FACTS ABOUT LIFE; Preached on Sunday 21st June 2009 at the Household of God Onitsha. Pg. 115 vs. 44-45]
- This language: “I am sent, I am sent”, which can be found in many other messages have destroyed many who think within themselves that He is one of the Messengers from God. But as we traveled along, He opened our eyes to know Him more than we did in time past.
- Let us go back to the message: THUMBPRINT Volume 3. Page 20 verse 1-3. THE ANOINTED ONE WEARING THE SHEKINAH CLOUD, Preached on 9th September 2001 at the Household of God Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man, The Supreme Intelligence. Chapter 2:
- WHEN A MESSIAH IS SENT. This is the language we could understand at that very moment. Sending, sending, sending. But a time came when He said we are mature enough to know who is in our midst. And then He told us plainly, “I volunteered to stay. I volunteered to come. Nobody sent me. I have been the one sending others”.
- If this language is not plain enough for you to know that the personality we are having dealings with has been The Almighty God Himself right from the beginning in human form, the Second Adam, the true and only Ancient of Days, then it is clear that you are not hewed from Him.
- Now that we are mature enough to know that the personality in our midst is the very Elohim, it has become very easy to identify those that descended from Him and those that descended from Satan.
- This is because once Almighty God comes, He comes with teaching. And that is what the devil is always attacking. Every teaching must be attacked by the devil unless that teaching is not truth from God. This is because once the Almighty God in His human form – Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN] teaches you and I right, you and I will behave right.
- Let us turn to the message: FEAR GOD EXPLAINED Volume 1. Preached on Sunday 3rd May 2020 by The Son of Man, The Ageless Being. Page 76-77 verses 44-48.
- The only person that you will teach right and he will act wrong is the devil. He is a tool in the hand of the devil and his aim is to make the word of God of non-effect.
- That is why evil reports do not cease from following such people. They are in the midst of God’s people. Yet, they live their lives perversely. They are fond of perverting the truth, and giving the truth a wrong interpretation. HOW?
- WHEN YOUR CHARACTER CONTRADICTS THE MESSAGE, YOU ARE GIVING THE MESSAGE A WRONG INTERPRETATION. IS IT A LIE? SO BE VERY CAREFUL THAT YOUR CHARACTER IS GIVING THE RIGHT INTERPRETATION TO THIS HONEST TRUTH COMING TO US FROM GOD.
- WHEN YOU NULLIFY IT WITH YOUR CHARACTER, YOU ARE ERASING YOUR NAME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE. THAT IS WHY YOU DO NOT COMMIT A DELIBERATE SIN.
- The difference between God and the devil is character. Therefore, your character tells clearly the spirit that is in you. For it is either the spirit of God or the spirit of the devil.
- That is why we are instructed to give ourselves regular check up. Who are you? A child of God or a child of the devil?
- The devil knows the truth, He believes the truth, He confesses the truth, He believes that God is one, He even believes that The Son of Man – Apostle Peter Odoemena is the very Almighty God, but he never lived the life of the truth because the nature of Christ, God, the truth, is not in him.
- Please, do not be deceived and carried away by “remain blessed brother, sister”. You can know the truth, believe the truth, confess the truth, believe that God is one and that He is the very Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN], but you have never and are presently not living the life of the truth because the nature of Christ is not in you.
- The reason The Son of Man, the Almighty is made manifest is to identify His own, to diagnose His own and to heal His own.
- For no amount of preaching and teaching from Him the very Holy teaching Priest who is the Lord from heaven, can change a goat into a sheep.
- On this note I say Remain blessed in Him eternally.
