EASTER SEAL Volume 2 Preached ON Sunday 4th April 2021 AT The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN The Last Sign
Too many things can be inferred about this matter, but this is why we need THE SON OF MAN who will lead us to the Truth, so that we can worship God acceptably (aright). ……. I am not worshipping the god of Israel. I am worshipping the Supreme God that created both Nigerians and the Israelites and made them only but one man. In the beginning, there was no Israel and there was no Nigeria. God made Adam and Eve. That is the God I am talking of and that is the God I delight in.

HOW DO YOU WORSHIP GOD?
[1]
MIRROR; Preached during Family Altar on Tuesday 23rd of June 2020 at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe, Anambra State, Nigeria, by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN; The Word made Flesh.
2. Remember, today is Easter Sunday. I want Christ to be alive in the hearts of all.
3. Page 20 verse 1 through 6. Be seated everybody. We are starting a little behind schedule. And I wish to start with the Message I collected from Cross-River State titled, “HOW DO YOU WORSHIP GOD?”. It was handled by our Pastor, Emmanuel Inna.
4. 2I went through this Message and I saw too many reminders; too many reminders. And I was moved to take the bull by the horn by helping everybody to know this truth we have heard.
5. 3It is a compilation of quotes drawn from the Messages. Most of them, we have read. And the contents, we must have forgotten completely, for which course many are fumbling and are messing up.
6. 4Two, I have another aim. We know that the family of our Brother Emmanuel Inna is a very small family in size; very concise, but there is something special in that family.
7. 5The same thing is applicable in the family of Bishop Joe Ukpong and Bishop Moses Abraham of Akwa-Ibom. Truly speaking, they are very much in the Faith, not because of what they are preaching, for I know them.
8. 6I know their families and I can attest to the fact that they are really in the Faith of Christ, THE REVEALED SON OF MAN in this age.
9. I hope you know them. You know how rich they are. And you know how poor they are, lest somebody here might be thinking that they are bribing THE SON OF MAN.
10. Anybody could bribe THE SON OF MAN with material things, but I do not think it can be these families. But they are not bribing Me with anything, except one thing. What is that one thing?
11. Their obedience to the truth. Their loyalty to the Faith of THE SON OF MAN that is revealed to them in their day; by accepting the Message and the Messenger, with a vow to live by the standard of the Message and the Messenger with their entire family.
12. That is the only thing that endeared all of them to My soul. If there could be any other family like that, do you not think that I will recognize that family?
13. This is the moment of recognition of our family members, whether they be of Christ or of the devil. And we cannot recognize our family members without placing ourselves right.
14. If you are in right standing with God, you are in a better position to discern and know by your ever progressive developments in your family those that are with you and those that are against you.
15. Page 25 verse 17. …that is why I believe that whenever truth is revealed it buries falsehood alive. If truth comes to you and does not bury falsehood in your life, forget about eternal life. You are completely lost,… Sure!!!
16. Page 26 verse 27. I want all of us that have been fully adopted into the Family of THE SON OF MAN to be sure and certain that we have already possessed eternal life.
17. I liken that person to our departed Elder, Ofodile of the Household of God at Onitsha in his own house at Omagba.
18. Page 37 verse 55 through 56. … the moment in a marital home, marriage is broken down, oh, both the man and the woman will become matrimonial liability to each other.
19. They both become matrimonial liability, matrimonial duty and matrimonial burden to each other. Nobody is a matrimonial responsibility again. The man is a burden to the wife. And the wife is a burden to the man.
20. Do we have such families? Husband and wife? The man is a burden to the wife? The wife is a burden to the husband? Burdens to one another, and no longer responsibilities to one another, where the man is responsible for the wife and the wife is responsible for the man.
21. What will become or be the fate of the children? The children will be everlasting liabilities. Who will deliver them? Their mother will not deliver them. Their father will not deliver them. You will have what we call compounded liabilities in a family. Compounded liabilities.
22. And that is what is weighing many people down. The man cannot be spiritual again. the wife cannot be spiritual again. the children will live as they wish, capitalizing on the weaknesses of their parents.
23. The parents will be mere megaphones. Talk, talk and talk without power. Talk, talk and talk without action.
24. Then when you ask the man, he will say, “I have never kept quiet! Ask my wife. I have been talking. Find out from my husband. I am not keeping quiet. I have been talking.” After talking, what next? Matrimonial liabilities.
25. Page 39 verse 60 through 61. How do you worship this God now that you are in your homes? A true worshipper does not have time for all these things. Sure!!!
26. He is always concerned, by day or by night, by what he will do to receive blessings from God;… Amen and Amen!!! …what he will do to please God, that he might not stand condemned before God. That’s a true worshipper.
27. IF UP TO THIS MOMENT, YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE LORD IN THE LORD, YOU ARE BLIND. IF UP TO THIS VERY DAY, BY REVELATION, YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN THAT THE SON OF MAN AND THE FATHER ARE ONE, YOU ARE LOST! YOU ARE TOTALLY LOST AND DOOMED TO ETERNAL DESTRUCTION! [EXAMINE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST VOL. 2; preached on Sunday 22nd June, 2014 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 5]
28. Mirror! Spiritual Mirror! The means by which you can see yourself for who you really are. No mistake about it. No misplacement of who you are. No misinterpretation, for the mirror can never tell lies about the picture.
29. The scriptural mirror gives us the true picture of our hearts, which is our real being. Begin to watch yourself, while I watch Myself. And you will discover why you are on your way to perdition, for many have already lead their families to extinction, instead of salvation. Extinction means total annihilation. Total disappointment.
30. Somebody who said he is a Brother in the Faith confessed before witnesses that he is feeling better; much better and much more refreshed in the absence of the wife.
31. And that he is praying that the wife will stay wherever she is for too long so that he will have rest and sleep and be like a normal human being. I mean, a confession that was made before Elders here in Onitsha.
32. And that person happens to be one of the Elders also. The children are almost on their own. Not almost. Well, all of them are preparing for Paradise. I wonder what that Paradise will look like. By that singular picture, we can see the picture of many.
33. There are too many women who rejoice exceedingly in the absence of their husbands from home. They pray he should not come back. The children, the same thing. They say they are better off whenever the man is not in the house.
34. And that is the family where they want God to come in and abide with them. The woman claims she is taking the children to Paradise without the husband. The husband says he is going to Paradise without the wife and the children.
35. Well, what will be their fate in the end? They MUST know it today.
36. Page 47 verse 7 through 8. 7Paying attention to anything outside Christ, the Supreme Being, the Supreme Intelligence, the Creator of the universe, the Almighty God is nothing but idolatry.
37. 8Sincerity is not a guarantee or an excuse why you should worship at any altar.
38. This is because somebody can be sincerely wrong. Many, in time past, were sincerely wrong. Today, many are still sincerely wrong. Is that an excuse before God?
39. They are inexcusable, for everything pertaining to God and the way He wants us to worship Him have been made manifest. They have been revealed. So, we are without excuse.
40. You MUST call upon the Name of the God you worship, for every man must worship his own God in His own Name.
41. Traditionally, here in Igbo land, worshippers of Amadioha cannot take what is for Amadioha and give to Iyi-ojii. The two are two different gods.
42. And when you ask the man, “Are you a worshipper of iyi-ojii?” he will tell you, “No, I worship Amadioha. I worship Nkpokiti. I worship Omaliko.”
43. There is no God that does not have a name. what is the name of your own God? This is because your God has a Name.
44. I will show you Scriptures that your God has revealed His new Name and the power. And then, every true Elect of God has come to the realization that it has been God and God alone that has been talking to us all these years to banish unbelief.
45. It has been God, the Supreme God, the Living God alone doing all these supernatural things we are witnessing our midst.
46. Page 50 verse 16. 16HEAR ME VERY WELL. A MAN [OR A WOMAN; YOUNG OR OLD; ANY HUMAN BEING] WHO IS ALL OUT TO DEFEND HIS ERROR, INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING CORRECTION, IS A POWERFUL INSTRUMENT IN THE HAND OF THE DEVIL. AND HE WILL NEVER COME OUT OF THAT ERROR UNTIL HE DIES. Sure!!! Amen!
47. Page 51 verses 18 and 20. 18Whoever that reveals the truth that will save your life should be regarded as you best friend, if you should have a friend.
48. 20But people turn out to love deceivers more than those that reveal the truth that will save them from error,…
49. Do you believe that to be true? It is pure truth! And that is why the world can never change from the course of destruction. Wicked counselors everywhere, even in our homes. Wicked counselors?
50. Miserable comforters that comfort people in falsehood, encourage those that do evil and condemn those that do right, for their ways are evil.
51. And they want everybody to share in their destruction, for the evil man knows that he is ending his life in disappointment, in despair, in disdain, and finally in eternal death.
52. Page 52 verse 22. 22Who does that? Fools! Fools who are destined to be destroyed. …
53. I hope we do not have such people in this house. Though people may flood this house, those renegades should not be traced to this Family. I say, such renegades, should not be traceable to this Family.
54. You see why God has given you today. Everybody. You and I. No exemption. I hope you are hearing Me.
55. I HAVE VOWED A VOW WITHIN MYSELF THAT I WILL ACCEPT ALL EXCEPTIONS, BUT FLAGRANT DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WILL OF GOD IN THIS FAMILY.
56. I WILL ACCEPT ALL EXCEPTIONS, BUT NAKED, FLAGRANT, DELIBERATE DISLOYALTY, DISOBEDIENCE TO THE REVEALED WORD OF GOD TO THIS FAMILY.
57. …These are the people that do not value correction, for they are not ready to change their minds and their wicked ways of doing things. Sure!!!
58. Page 55 verse 30. Any family He confirms to be in the Faith of Christ, automatically is made acceptable in the sight of God,… Sure!!! That is an irrevocable truth! …for that family or that individual has already been made acceptable in God’s Beloved.
59. Page 58 verse 42. Saul, the king of Israel, had the spirit of Christ before. But when he provoked God to anger, God withdrew the spirit. Evil spirit from God now rested on Saul. He became mad.
60. Even in our own day, evidences abound of people who are still alive. Some are dead. THE SON OF MAN made it clear that He has withdrawn His Spirit from them.
61. I remember one he told everybody clearly, even the wife, “Go and tell your relations; tell your parents that you are about to be a widow.” Did it fulfill? To the letter.
62. To the others, He said, “I withdraw My Spirit from you. And I will make you a fugitive and a vagabond throughout your lifetime here on earth.”
63. All of them till today, they are fugitives. They are vagabonds; wanderers, having no place to perch.
64. There are some He said, “You will be here. you will live. You will not die. You will see the end of this Faith. You will see where THE SON OF MAN and those that believed in Him will land so that you will beat your chest and say, “I have killed myself with my own hand.””
65. I normally give it to people for a choice. I remember in those days, I gave it to Bishop Moses at Eha-Amufu, “Choose between these two: [1] To excommunicate you from My presence or [2] To withdraw the Spirit of Christ from you. Choose one because of your willful misbehaviour, for you must sit down.”
66. He fainted. He cried out and said, “My LORD! All of them are death options. If you expel me from Your presence, where else will I go. To withdraw Your spirit from me, that means I am gone. Please, I do not want any. I do not want any.”
67. What do you want then?
68. He said, “Please, let Your mercy. Let Your love project. I do not want Your judgment. Let Your Love and Mercy project.”
69. I shook My head and commanded him to join the Congregation.

HOW DO YOU WORSHIP GOD [2]
MIRROR; Preached during Family Altar on Tuesday 23rd of June 2020; Page 59 verse 43. 14But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. [1 Samuel 16:14 KJV] Sure!
2. This is because he made himself unacceptable in the sight of God. While he was thinking of how he will humiliate God, God humiliated him, for He is the chiefest of all the planners.
3. He was thinking of how to blaspheme the Name of God. One who was a powerful instrument in the hand of God, later fell away. Even stretched his hand to tear the cloth of Prophet Samuel, to him [Saul], it was a light thing, humiliating Him.
4. And the LORD paused a little, did a home work on how to handle him [Saul], and then handled him in the most humiliating way.
5. Hence, the family of king Saul is standing quoting till today; a reference point for an evil family who served God with impure motive.
6. 44Was Okechukwu Nwakpa not with us, possessing the spirit of God, prophesying, teaching and encouraging the Brethren to continue in the Faith?
7. 45When he became stubborn, arrogant and uncontrollably bad, what did God do? God withdrew His spirit from him. Then the devil possessed him.
8. All of us here, can we learn a lesson? Are we mightier than Him? You think you are mightier than God. You see why it is a delicate thing for anybody to prove stubborn to the Word of God. It is very delicate for anybody to prove stubborn to God.
9. God will surely use that individual to exhibit the totality of His power to destroy and to render absolutely useless, no matter who you are.
10. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR RECORDS MIGHT BE IN THE PAST, THEY ARE ALL FORGOTTEN, FOR THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RIGHTEOUS CAN NEVER SAVE HIM IN THE DAY OF HIS TRANSGRESSION.
11. Do we not have a Message like that, that the righteousness of the righteous can never save him in the day of his transgression.
12. The Message said that your subtlety, cleverness, smartness, arrogance or haughtiness, academic attainment, your wealth and whatever you think you are; your status can never save you if God is against you. Where will the person run to and the Almighty God will not catch you.
13. Page 76 verse 14 through 15. 14TO WORSHIP GOD IS TO LIVE LIFE ACCORDING TO HIS COMMANDS, NOT TO RUN AWAY FROM IT.
14. 15On the other hand, worshipping God in disobedience is incurring His wrath, for God does not regard worship from an unrepentant fellow. You are even annoying God.
15. It is an abomination before God. And whatsoever you are doing, in the sight of God, you are doing His work with a deceitful heart in other to win friends of the people, not friends of God.
16. Page 85 verse 39. God rejected the sacrifice of Cain, not because they were bad fruits. They were the best fruits of his labour. His gift was rejected because his heart was not right with God. Sure! He lacked the revelation.
17. He never searched his conscience before offering his sacrifice.
18. Page 86 verse 44. [Genesis 4:7]And if thou doeth not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shall rule over him.” KJV
19. Sin lieth at the door for you are not able to do well. Did you do good and I failed to commend you? Have you done good and I am rebuking you?
20. Because you have failed to take My correction; you have failed to change; when I invited you, sin lieth at thy door. That means destruction lieth before you.
21. When God says, “Sin lieth before a man” or at thy door, He is telling you, “Destruction is now at thy door.”
22. When you do good, God says, “Salvation is now at thy door.” Now salvation is at your door as a result of your righteous deeds and your good heartedness.
23. But death and destruction has arrived and is waiting for you at your door due to your evil heartedness and your stubbornness, for God had warned you and you remain stubborn. Yet, He is pointing it out for you.
24. What follows sin? Is it not death. What is the wages of sin? Is it not death? The wages of sin is death. The reward for righteousness is eternal life.
25. 22But now since you have been set free from sin and have become the slaves of God, you have your present reward in holiness and its end is eternal life. 23FOR THE WAGES WHICH SIN PAYS IS DEATH, BUT THE [BOUNTIFUL] FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord. [Romans 6:22 -23 AMP]
26. Page 87 verse 46. YOU MUST HAVE THE REVELATION OF WHAT GOD IS DOING BEFORE YOUR HEART WILL BE GENEROUS. Period!
27. Before you can have a generous heart for goodwill towards your fellow human being, look into your heart very well. Look into your heart and check whether what is happening in your heart is approved of God. Look into your family. It may be that your family is not in right standing.
28. Page 89 verse 52 through 55. Matthew 5:23-24 52“So if when you are offering your gift at the altar, you there remember that your brother has any [grievance] against you, 53Leave your gift at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come back and present your gift.” AMP
29. Some do not even see it as God’s injunction again. it has become a story of the past, as if God has changed.
30. 54“The mark of salvation is done by God and it is a spiritual mark. …
31. The mark of ownership. The stamp of ownership. The seal of ownership is done as God’s own prerogative and exclusive preserve. He does not share this duty. He does not share this work or assignment with any human flesh. He alone does it. And that is why there is no mistake about what God is doing.
32. “Watch! God is not interested in a house filled with unbelievers, but takes delight where two or three gather spiritually in fear, faithfully to worship Him.” Amen. (WHY WE MUST BE CAREFUL; 10th June, 2012; Page 91 verse 33)
33. God is not interested in where there are too many people, claiming to be worshipping God and that do not have His nature, but God is showing interest in people that have His nature.
34. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE NATURE OF GOD, YOU DO NOT BELONG TO HIM.
35. God is not interested in the place filled with disobedient people that find it difficult to obey the Word of God; people that take delight in living the way they want.
36. If you dare correct them, you become their enemy because they feel it is an unnecessary encroachment into their privacy that does not belong to any other person.
37. Do not worry! On that day, your privacy will be an open spectacle. Nobody will have any privacy which God will not make public on that day.
38. Page 91 verse 57. 57EFFECTIVE SPIRITUAL WORSHIP STARTS FROM YOUR HOME. Effective Spiritual Worship starts where? From your home. True or false? True or false? Charity they say, begins at home.
39. Page 92 verse 59.
40. ANYBODY WHO CANNOT WORSHIP GOD RIGHTLY IN HIS HOME, CAN HE DO IT RIGHTLY IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY? …
41. Never! This is because whatever you are at home, that is exactly what you will be outside. You cannot be a snake at home and be a goat outside.
42. If you know that which you are at home, that is what you are outside the home. Even if you suppress your feelings, the people living with you know who you are. They know that you are a heathen, only pretending to be a seed of God in the general Assembly.
43. That is why I am not making a mistake at the gate. The sifting is about to be completed. I know the small number of people that remains for Me to complete the sifting at the gate.
44. And the moment it is over, that selfsame day, Translation MUST take place, for that is the Verdict. That is the result of all His investigative judgment in the Bride. Then the wrath of God will descend upon the children of disobedience.
45. We will now see the number of disobedient people we have harboured in the bride of Christ Ministry, and even in our families.
46. Nobody will be happy to answer a disobedient child in the family, but they are all disobedient and their parents know. That which we are covering around our children, God will open all. Translation MUST open all.
47. As examination results open the buttocks of indolent students, so the Translation will bear the final witness of those that served God in spirit and in truth; and all that made a fair show of the worship of God. Fair show!
48. WHATEVER YOU ARE AT HOME IS WHAT YOU ARE THERE.
49. God gave all of us warning, starting from the Pastors, Warning everybody that the time of nominal worship is over, for God has not been destructive until His being, His original nature has been seen by the people. (ISRAEL AND PALESTINE – THE INTRODUCTION; 1ST APRIL 2012; Page 47 verse 9)
50. Have we seen the original nature? Have we seen His being?
51. That is the much we will take from this heart-warming and heart-refreshing Sunday school. We are crossing over to the Message given to us to consider for today.
52. What we have been enjoying from morning till now is extravagant grace. And this extravagant grace will now help us to trace ourselves from origin and know where we are settled right now.

GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP [1]
For that reason, we are going to the Message, GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP; 2021 Revised Edition; first preached on 27th June 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN, The Rock of Ages. Truth has no substitute.
2. It was revised by THE SON OF MAN in the month of March 2021 in the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe.
3. I read this WARNING [Page 3]. THIS TEACHING IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY;… You see, all that we have been hearing from the MIRROR, God said He is talking to the true Elect, and not to everybody. So, if you know where you fall in, better for you.
4. The Bible said in the Acts of the Apostles chapter 10 verse 35, “In every nation, in every family, in everywhere, whosoever that feareth, honoureth and obeyeth the LORD, to him; to her is the Word of Salvation sent to.”
5. And when the Message of God went forth according to Acts of the Apostles chapter 13 from verse 46 through 48, hear Me very well.
6. When the Word went forth, the Bible said, “Those that were chosen for salvation believed. The Word went forth and all that were chosen for salvation believed and they were very glad. But as many as were not chosen for salvation, they were vexed sore. The became exceedingly riotous and hostile to the truth, to their own peril.”
7. 46And Paul and Barnabas spoke out plainly and boldly, saying, It was necessary that God’s message [concerning salvation through Christ] should be spoken to you first. But since you thrust it from you, you pass this judgment on yourselves that you are unworthy of eternal life and out of your own mouth you will be judged. [Now] behold, we turn to the Gentiles (the heathen).
8. 47For so the Lord has charged us, saying, I have set you to be a light for the Gentiles (the heathen), that you may bring [eternal] salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.
9. 48And when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified (praised and gave thanks for) the Word of God; and as many as were destined (appointed and ordained) to eternal life believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Jesus as the Christ and their Savior).
10. 49And so the Word of the Lord [concerning eternal salvation through Christ] scattered and spread throughout the whole region.
11. 50But the Jews stirred up the devout women of high rank and the outstanding men of the town, and instigated persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their boundaries. AMP
12. WARNING! [Page 3]. This Teaching is not for everybody; it is directed to every TRUE ELECT OF GOD scattered all over the world FOR THEIR PEACE – THE SON OF MAN
13. This is so that those that have found themselves in this category; they have the Stamp of God’s Approval in them; God’s own Mark of Ownership; they are sure and certain. It is no longer a feeling. Come what may, in life or in death, they are God’s property;
14. They know that anytime it will please God, in life or in death, they are already in Paradise. The thought of hell will not come to them.
15. There is no more fear of eternal damnation or destruction, for they have crossed the riven veil where the glory of God can never fail, for they are all standing in the presence of God.
16. They have been made holy in the eyes of God; justified, consecrated, set apart for God’s own use and glory. Satan can no longer have undue advantage over them, FOR THEY HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD. Why?
17. They are in Christ. Whoever that is in Christ has overcome the world. But if you are not in Christ, the world has overcome you. The world has overcome that individual. And that is where you are ending your eternity; wherever the world will end its journey.
18. On this note, I hand over this Message to our Brother Chiemelie. To start from the background.
19. Do not throw away the first publication. It is very useful. Some information. Some information contained therein were carried forward. This one is an entirely revised one.
20. I have My personal reasons why I refused to change the topic, for there can never be a better topic than the one revealed to Me, GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP. Do not throw away the first publication. It is very useful. Some information. Some information contained therein were carried forward. This one is an entirely revised one.
21. I have My personal reasons why I refused to change the topic, for there can never be a better topic than the one revealed to Me, GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP. Take off from there. The Background.
22. Get your jotters. Make sure you take note of all the Scriptures, for the background contains nothing but Scriptures.
23. If you do not understand the Scriptures fixing yourself where you belong to will be very difficult for you.
24. Take your jotters. Take your pen. Do not ever sleep. We may not sleep today, but let us join our Brethren elsewhere a little.
25. Page 16. BACKGROUND: 1We are assured and know that God being a partner in their labor] ALL THINGS work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
26. All things means ALL THINGS; whether death, whether sickness; whether trial; whether temptation, whether war; whether famine.
27. What will separate us from the love of God? Absolutely nothing. Everything MUST turn out for our own good, for we belong to God. They are all fitting to God’s purpose concerning us, for He knows what is best for us at all times
28. 2For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.
29. 3And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].
30. 4What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?] Romans 8:28-31 AMP.
31. 5But I know there is someone in heaven who will come at last to my defense. …
32. What? Has He come? He has come to our defense. He has come to witness for us.
33. …Even after my skin is eaten by disease, while still in this body I will see God. I will see him with my own eyes, and he will not be a stranger. Job 19:25-27GNB
34. 6For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. John 6:38KJV
35. 7I have manifested Your Name [I have revealed Your very Self, Your real Self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed and kept Your word. Now [at last] they know and understand that all You have given Me belongs to You [is really and truly Yours].
36. 8For the [uttered] words that You gave Me I have given them; and they have received and accepted [them] and have come to know positively and in reality [to believe with absolute assurance] that I came forth from Your presence, and they have believed and are convinced that You did send Me.
37. 9I am praying for them. I am not praying (requesting) for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they belong to You. All [things that are] Mine are Yours, and all [things that are] Yours belong to Me; and I am glorified in (through) them. [They have done Me honor; in them My glory is achieved.] And [now] I am no more in the world, but these are [still] in the world, and I am coming to you.
38. 10Holy Father, keep in Your Name [in the knowledge of Yourself] those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We [are one]. While I was with them, I kept and preserved them in Your Name in the knowledge and worship of You]. Sure!!!
39. Do you know the Name of God? Do you know the Name of God? Let somebody give Me Living Bible translation there. Isaiah 52:1 – 2, 6.
40. [1]Wake up, wake up, Jerusalem, and clothe yourselves with strength from God. Put on your beautiful clothes, O Zion, Holy City; for sinners—those who turn from God—will no longer enter your gates. Will no longer enter your families.
41. [2]Rise from the dust, Jerusalem; take off the slave bands from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. ……. [6]Therefore I will reveal my name to my people, and they shall know the power in that name. Then at last they will recognize that it is I, yes, I, who speaks to them. LB
42. Isaiah 52:6 6Therefore My people shall know what My name is and what it means; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks; behold, I AM! AMP
43. Isaiah 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. KJV
44. Isaiah 52:6 6Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I.” NIV
45. Isaiah 52:6 6In time to come you will acknowledge that I am God and that I have spoken to you. GNB
46. I will reveal My Name and you will know that I am the One, even I. If Good News did not write it like that, leave it and go to the pulpit.
47. I AM SAYING THAT GOD HAS A NAME. YOU CANNOT WORSHIP GOD WITHOUT KNOWING HIS NAME. THE NAME OF GOD IS THE NAME OF WHOSOEVER HE HAS DECIDED TO TABERNACLE HIMSELF IN ANY GENERATION. TRUE OR FALSE?
48. THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE BLIND, BUT YOU ARE NOT BLIND.
49. William Branham the Prophet said, “They call them Prophets, but they never knew that they were God En Morphe. How people miss God in all the Ages.”
50. Saint Paul was calling Him Jesus. He never knew Him as God until his eyes of understanding opened. He now said, “In time past, I thought he was a mere man like myself. But from now henceforth, I do not see Him as such. I now know by revelation that He is the very Almighty God. And it is because I have preached Him to be God and also a Man, for that reason, the Jews have hated me with perfect hatred, and I am suffering in prison, but the Word of God cannot be imprisoned.”
51. 16Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a [purely] human point of view [in terms of natural standards of value]. [No] even though we once did estimate Christ from a human viewpoint and as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no longer [in terms of the flesh]. [2 Corinthians 5:16 AMP]
52. 16So stop evaluating Christians by what the world thinks about them or by what they seem to be like on the outside. Once I mistakenly thought of Christ that way, merely as a human being like myself. How differently I feel now! [2 Corinthians 5:16 LB]
53. [9]It is because I have preached these great truths that I am in trouble here and have been put in jail like a criminal. But the Word of God is not chained, even though I am. [2 Timothy 2:9 LB]
54. You can imprison the vessel. You cannot imprison God. Do you believe that?
55. 11Those You have given Me I guarded and protected, and not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot—the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
56. So, somebody can be destined to be lost. Why must it be Me? Somebody can be destined to be lost, while some are destined to be saved. And they were chosen from the foundation of the world, predestinated to eternal salvation.
57. And another set of people predestinated to eternal condemnation. Why must I be among those that are predestined to destruction?
58. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. HEAR ME VERY WELL. ANYBODY WHO IS PREDESTINED TO DESTRUCTION WILL NEVER EMBRACE THE FAITH OF THE SON OF MAN.
59. WHOEVER THAT IS DESTROYED IN THE FAITH OF THE SON OF MAN, THAT PERSON DESTROYED HIMSELF OR HERSELF BY BEING WILLFULLY DISOBEDIENT TO THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN. WILLFULLY DISOBEDIENT!
60. This is because if that person never believed, He or she would not have followed up to this extent. Following for what? What am I offering him? What am I offering you if not this Word of eternal life?
61. ANOTHER SET OF PEOPLE THAT WILL BE DESTROYED WILL BE THOSE THAT JOINED THE FAITH WITH IMPURE MOTIVE. THEY NEVER JOINED THE FAITH OF CHRIST FOR THE SAKE OF SALVATION.
62. THEY EMBRACED THE FAITH FOR SOCIAL SECURITY, AND NOT FOR SPIRITUAL SECURITY; FOR MATERIAL AID AND NOT FOR SPIRITUAL AID.
63. THIS IS ANOTHER SET OF PEOPLE THAT WILL MEET THE WATERLOO IN THE END. WATERLOO MEANS THE GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE END.
64. 11Those You have given Me I guarded and protected, and not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot—the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
65. 12And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am still in the world, so that My joy may be made full and complete and perfect in them [that they may experience My delight fulfilled in them, that My enjoyment may be perfected in their own souls, that they may have My gladness within them, filling their hearts].
66. 13I have given and delivered to them Your word (message) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world [do not belong to the world], just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one.
67. 14They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world. Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. John 17:6-17 KJV
68. We know that EVERYONE FATHERED BY GOD does not sin,… Everybody that has God as his father does not sin and can never be found in unbelief. …but God protects the one he has fathered,…
69. I HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING, BUT I HAVE NEVER SEE A DISOBEDIENT CHILD OF GOD. IT DOES NOT EXIST. EVERY DISOBEDIENT CHILD OF GOD IS AN IMPERSONATOR. HE IS A COUNTERFEIT THAT IS MINGLING WITH THE ORIGINAL.
70. WHAT MAKES US CHILDREN OF GOD IS OUR OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD. IF WE ARE FOUND IN DISOBEDIENCE, WE ARE HEATHENS.
71. That is why God said that the spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience can never operate among the children of the Kingdom of Heaven. They are two separate beings before the LORD.
72. You cannot be a child of the Kingdom of Heaven and a child of the Kingdom of Hell. Can it happen?
73. Remember, we are reading Scriptures that will help us to know, whether by now we have been stamped and sealed with God’s own Mark of Ownership, or we are operating without a seal; a stamp; a Mark, which the hand of the LORD Himself has marked.
74. We know that EVERYONE FATHERED BY GOD does not sin, but God protects the one he has fathered, and the evil one cannot touch him. We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
75. 15And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life. 1st John 5:18-20 (New English Translation)
76. 16These men belong to this world, so, quite naturally, they are concerned about worldly affairs and the world pays attention to them. 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. 1 John 4:5-6 LB
77. If you are hearing the Word and you are not believing it; you are not practicing it and it is not reflecting in your daily life, it is number one evidence that you belong to the world.
78. It is number one visible sign you must note, that in spite of all your adjustment of your mind; in spite of your prayers; in spite of the way you have tried to manage yourself or suppressed your feeling, you have discovered that you are still walking disobediently to the Word of God, stop troubling yourself. You belong to the world. You proceeded from the evil one.

GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP [2]
GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP; 2021 Revised Edition; first preached on 27th June 2012; Page 23 verse 17.
2. 17Then the word of the Lord came to me [Jeremiah], saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Jeremiah 1:4-5 AMP.
3. 18But when that happens, I will take you, O Zerubbabel my servant, and honor you like a signet ring upon my finger; for I have specially chosen you, says the Lord Almighty.” Haggai 2:23 LB.
4. 19But when He, Who had chosen and set me apart [even] before I was born and had called me by His grace (His undeserved favor and blessing), saw fit and was pleased to reveal (unveil, disclose) His Son within me so that I might proclaim Him among the Gentiles (the non-Jewish world) as the glad tidings (Gospel), immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood [did not consult or counsel with any frail human being or communicate with anyone]. Galatians 1:15-16 AMP
5. 20From Yahya ibn Nufal, indeed Musa ibn Ja‘afar (as) raise his hands and supplicates after Asr prayer, I inquire from him saying, to whom did you offer prayer for? He said: to Al-Mahdi among the family of Muhammad (saas) and said: HE IS HAVING BIG STOMACH, his eyebrow very close, HIS LEGS ARE VERY ENERGETIC, HIS SHOULDER IS WIDE [Bihar al-Anwar: 86-81].
6. 21Humran bin A‘yân says: To Imam Muhammad Bakir: “… Your Lord Hazrat Mahdi (As) will have a wide stomach … [Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani p. 253].
7. 22He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] is a young man of medium stature and with a beautiful face … the radiance of his face shines like day in his hair, beard, and the blackness of his head, and gives him greatness. [Al-Uqayli, Al-Najmu Al-Saqib].
8. Prophet Branham said, “Expect Him as a black man coming from one of the jungles in Africa but this is where Americans will perish. This will stumble America. Do not look for Him among the clergy of your own day for He will never be found there.
9. 23He will not be a great man, He will be very simple. But in Him is the shewbread, for we are living on the threshold of the greatest vindication of omnipotence the world has never seen.” 24COME TO THE THRONE OF GRACE Volume 2; Preached on Sunday 5th November, 2017, Page 24 vs. 34
10. 25I am here. There has never been any generation that appeared without meeting me. I AM the oldest Being that has been on Earth since the world began, changing forms, changing locations. However, in these last days, it has pleased Him that I should settle down in my own homeland. ISRAEL AND PALESTINE PP 89 VS 51
11. 26The presence of numerous Nigerian prophets will encourage the elect rather than discouraging them because they will be glad that God delights in repeating those things he did back yonder. In the days of King Ahab (1 Kings 18) it was only prophet Elijah against 450 prophets of Baal. God‘s Elect have remained in the minority.
12. And he answered me, saying, “The Most High has made this world for many, but the world to come, for few. 2 Ezra 8:1
13. There are many created, but few will be saved.” 2 Ezra 8:3
14. For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14 KJV
15. Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance, who seek the Lord! Consider the quarry from which you were mined, the rock from which you were cut! Yes, think about your ancestors Abraham and Sarah, from whom you came.
16. 27You worry at being so small and few, but Abraham was only one when I called him. But when I blessed him, he became a great nation. Isaiah 51:1-2 LB
17. 28Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, 24“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Luke 13:23-24
18. 29It is written in [the book of] the Prophets, And they shall all be taught of God [have Him in person for their Teacher]. Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me— John 6:45 AMP
19. 30God Himself will gather His people together and give them the SEAL OF OWNERSHIP, a SEAL OF APPROVAL, a SEAL OF ACCEPTANCE. That is why if you get any agreement with a seal, nobody can collect it from you.
20. 31Any agreement with a seal either by will, nobody can collect it from you. What is more, there is an agreement between us and God. Note, an agreement is nothing but a covenant.
21. 32Our covenant with God has an everlasting seal which we cannot break. That is why I am rejoicing that I am saved; I am rejoicing that I am already there. That I am already in glory. Nothing is stopping Me here because my whole body is in glory. Nothing will bring Me back. – THE SON OF MAN. (THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED) PP 79 VS 4-6
22. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 2 Timothy 2:19 KJV
23. Galatians 6:6-7 Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule [who discipline themselves and regulate their lives by this principle], even upon the [true] Israel of God! From now on let no person trouble me [by making it necessary for me to vindicate my apostolic authority and the divine truth of my Gospel], for I bear on my body the [brand] marks of the Lord Jesus [the wounds, scars, and other outward evidence of persecutions—these testify to His ownership of me]! AMP
24. Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God. From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. NIV
25. May God‘s mercy and peace be upon all of you who live by this principle and upon those everywhere who are really God‘s own. From now on please don‘t argue with me about these things, for I carry on my body the scars of the whippings and wounds from Jesus‘ enemies that mark me as his slave. LB
26. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. KJV
27. Romans 2:28-29 For you are not real Jews just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the Jewish initiation ceremony of circumcision. No, a real Jew is anyone whose heart is right with God. For God is not looking for those who cut their bodies in actual body circumcision, but he is looking for those with changed hearts and minds. Whoever has that kind of change in his life will get his praise from God, even if not from you. LB
28. For he is not a [real] Jew who is only one outwardly and publicly, nor is [true] circumcision something external and physical. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and [true] circumcision is of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal [matter]. His praise is not from men but from God. AMP
29. 28A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person‘s praise is not from other people, but from God. NIV
30. Acts 13:46-50 But Paul and Barnabas spoke out even more boldly: “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken first to you. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we will leave you and go to the Gentiles. For this is the commandment that the Lord has given us: “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, so that all the world may be saved.”
31. When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the Lord’s message; and those who had been chosen for eternal life became believers.
32. The word of the Lord spread everywhere in that region. But the Jews stirred up the leading men of the city and the Gentile WOMEN OF HIGH SOCIAL STANDING who worshiped God. They started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and threw them out of their region. GNB
33. The Scripture said “WOMEN OF HIGH SOCIAL STANDING were stirred up against the truth.” Check today! Check all women of high social standing. Check their reactions whenever the Gospel truth comes to them.
34. It takes only a true seed of God; and if you happen to find yourself within that caliber and class of women, and yet the spirit that is in you differs from the spirit that is controlling them, it is number one sign to you as a woman that you are chosen by God for salvation.
35. This is because nothing deceives women more than socialization and sophistication, the greatest destroyer of all women.
36. Even those who have nothing to eat can do unimaginable things to raise money to meet their social demands. Some are of the opinion that if they do not belong to those social classes, they will be disregarded.
37. Hence, some people even starve their families, fraudulently collect money from their husbands, go out and run around men that have money to place them where they can never get to in this life.
38. And such women put their husbands under their footstools. Today, they are celebrated ladies. Ladies! Too many ladies. All those ladies in the churches, are they not from families. They have no regards for their homes.
39. The reigning thing to day is, “Buy me baby Jeep.” With baby Jeep, baby cars, flashy cars, beautiful hairstyles, mini-skirts and mini-shorts, sleeveless tops and every kind of thing, you see them abandoning their homes for days and for weeks.
40. Some are just in the families answering mothers when they are not. Sissified women. What is deceiving them? Socialization and sophistication.
41. Yet, among them are virtuous ones, chosen by God; and they have reverential fear of God. Some of them may have more than those idiots. Academically, status-wise and in every aspect, they have all those things, but they do not allow those things to get to their heads. They still remain humble, meek, lowly, obedient and play the roles assigned to them by the Almighty God.
42. Today, such social class women can hardly settle down and do domestic chores. They hire nannies. Who are nannies? Less privileged women that will come and serve them in the home for a pay.
43. And watch the way they ridicule them. They treat them [the nannies] as if they are slaves, not knowing that are equally married women like them, but are not privileged to those classes.
44. Many do not enter the kitchen anymore. they do not enter the kitchen. All they know is to give their children money while going to school.
45. Alternatively, the highest food they will use to nourish their children will be Indomie®. One minute, Indomie®. Whether garnished or ungarnished, take it and go to school.
46. Go to every hair dressing saloon, you see them cluster, telling stories. Go to fashion making houses, boutiques and so on, you see them cluster from morning till night.
47. Anywhere there is fun, that is where you will see them.
48. And sissified men will keep quiet over such matters, not knowing that they are laying foundation for eternal destruction for their families, for the moment the woman is corrupt, all her children must be corrupt.
49. WHEN A MAN MARRIES A BAD WIFE, HE MUST RAISE BAD CHILDREN. NOBODY INFLUENCES THE CHILDREN TO DISOBEY GOD MORE THAN A DISOBEDIENT MOTHER.
50. That was why Jezebel never allowed Ahab to control any of the children. The wife of Eli the high priest was responsible for the spoiling of her two sons, Hophni and Phinehas.
51. A wicked mother advised her own son who became a king at a tender age to do wickedly.
52. 2Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, AND HE REIGNED ONE YEAR IN JERUSALEM. His mother’s name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
53. 3He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: FOR HIS MOTHER WAS HIS COUNSELOR TO DO WICKEDLY. 4Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord like the house of Ahab: for they were his counselors, after the death of his father, to his destruction.
54. SO YOU CANNOT MARRY A BAD WIFE AND RAISE GOOD CHILDREN. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. I SAY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. THAT IS WHY WE MUST BE VERY VERY CAREFUL.
55. By this, to know those that are really God’s daughters become very easy. They have all that life entails and they remain humble.
56. Some do not even have. They live in penury. Yet, they are contented with the little God has given them. They are satisfied. They do not trouble anybody. They live their quiet and humble lives, respecting human beings, respecting God, fearing God and appreciating one another.
57. Watch these social class women. If you do not belong to their class, you are nobody. Some do not have anything at all that can be called their own. They do not have car. They do not have anything.
58. The only thing they can boast of is that they can dress gorgeously. They will dress gorgeously in outlandish fashion. Every fashion that is introduced, they must go for it. Social class women!
59. And some silly men ignorantly expose their families to that social life. Their own children will not make friends with people within their own social class. Their children will be the friends of multimillionaires who will corrupt them more and more.
60. I am giving you indices whereby you begin to know the difference between the children of God and the children of the world.
61. ALL THAT ARE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD ARE EASILY ATTRACTED TO THE THINGS OF THE WORLD. THINGS THAT HAVE NO ETERNAL VALUE. THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE THEM TO PASS SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
62. BUT CHILDREN OF GOD GO FOR THINGS THAT HAVE ETERNAL VALUE. THEY ARE CONTENTED WITH THE LITTLE GOD HAS BESTOWED UPON THEM.
63. THEY KNOW HOW TO LIVE THEIR LIVES IN THE TIME OF PLENTY AND IN THE TIME OF SCARCITY. THEY LIVE BETWEEN THE TWO EXTREMES. THESE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD. AMEN.
64. DO YOU KNOW THAT THOSE THAT ARE NOT CHILDREN OF GOD, WHATEVER THEY DO IS WHAT WILL ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF HE WORLD? THEY SEEK ATTENTION. THEY SEEK ADMIRATION FROM THE WORLD.
65. BUT TO THE CHILD OF GOD, HE DOES NOT SEEK ANYBODY’S ATTENTION, BUT GOD’S ATTENTION. HE DOES NOT SEEK THE ADMIRATION OF THE WORLD, BUT GOD’S ADMIRATION, FOR HE DOES EVERYTHING TO PLEASE GOD.
66. HE DOES EVERYTHING TO PLEASE GOD. IF HE DRESSES, HE DRESSES TO PLEASE GOD, FOR GOD LOVES NEATNESS. HE IS NEAT BECAUSE HE IS A CHILD OF GOD.
67. HE TALKS IN A WAY THAT WILL BE PLEASING TO GOD. HE DOES EVERYTHING TO PLEASE GOD, AND NOT TO PLEASE ANY MAN.
68. BUT THE ATTENTION SEEKING TYPE; WE HAVE THE ATTENTION SEEKING TYPE. AT HOME, THEY DRESS LIKE ANGELS. WHEN THEY WANT TO GO OUT, IF YOU SEE THEM ON THE STREET, YOU WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THEM.
69. One day, I met one at 3-3 Junction here. I could not believe My eyes. She is a mother, wearing quarter-to-trouser with a body-hug top, bushy hair and make-up. Her eyelids were green and red. Her lips were red.
70. And she rushed to say, “Remain blessed” to Me. I distanced Myself and then looked at her in the eyes. I shook My head. I could not respond to the greeting. Neither did I talk to her. I simply went My way, believing I have conveyed a Message.
71. When I brought the report to the husband, the husband said, “This is the spirit I have been fighting.”
72. I told him, “You have not started fighting. If at this stage of your marriage, this has become a fight, when will this fight end? Are you fighting to win? Are you fighting to subdue and occupy? Or are just giving warning when you know that warning cannot work?”
73. There are too many misbehaviours; too many spirits that cannot be cast away by warning. Are you hearing Me?
74. That is why God said, “After first and second warning, and the person remains resistant, what did the Bible say you should do? Cast him away. Hand him over to the devil so that the devil will destroy the flesh. Peradventure, the soul may be saved on the last day.” Is it not Scripture?
75. That is why I am now handing all of them over. I am no longer praying for their repentance, for I have warned enough. I am now handing them over to the spirit of destruction to destroy the flesh, for that is the only way I can get rid of them from My sight, and stop them from corrupting many families.
76. I have counted them My enemies, and they know it is truth. Some even call Me, “Daddy, please, I know I have offended You in many ways. Find a space in Your heart to forgive me, for I am now a changed fellow.”
77. And these are adult men. Some are women, having families. May God help us.

GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP [3]
GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP; 2021 Revised Edition; first preached on 27th June 2012; Page 38 Nugget. IF YOU ARE REALLY A PART OF GOD, THERE CAN NEVER BE A DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND GOD. …
2. What? If you are having disagreement with God, and it has developed a fault; persistently, from time to time, you are quarrelling with God. it is a sure sign that you do not belong to God. you are running after Him for reasons best known to you. is it not true?
3. If I am quarrelling with My wife always, be it known to you that from the beginning, I married another man’s wife. She could not be My wife and we will be quarrelling.
4. What could be that thing that will bring about the constant quarrelling when God said we should agree?
5. AND MARRIAGE IS BASED ON PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL AGREEMENT. TRUE OR FALSE? MARRIAGE TAKES PLACE IN THE HEARTS. ANY MARRIAGE THAT IS NOT ORIGINATED FROM THE HEART, ORIGINATED FROM CARNAL CONSIDERATION[S]. QUARRELLING WILL NEVER STOP THERE.
6. A carnally-induced marriage; carnally-propelled marriage can never cease from making noise. It can only cease if the two are carnal. But if one is carnal and the other is spiritual, the war will remain there till two of them will go to hell.
7. Page 39 verse 1. This is homecoming week. All the elect of God that were trapped in the denominations, they are uncomfortable now. They are waiting to hear this Voice; they are jumping out one after the other. They are identifying with their own brethren, for the flight is near. I do not care where they are, they are jumping out.
8. As you can see from the websites. As you can see from the websites [reports]
9. Page 40 verse 4. Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen him with my own eyes and listened to him speak. I have touched him with my own hands. He is God‘s message of life. This one who is life from God has been shown to us, and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ, who is eternal Life. He was with the Father and then was shown to us. I John 1:1-2 LB
10. Amen. Who was revealed to us on Easter Sunday 7th April 1996? Who was revealed to us. Was it not the Resurrected Body? The resurrected Body, who was He. Was He not the Anointed One? Was He not the Messiah? Do you not know Who He is? Who told us the Divine Personality that visited us?
11. He has arrived to stay with us. Can we not know who He is? Who promised He will return a second time? Who did the Prophet William Branham prophesied will take over the platform when he [Branham] left?
12. YOU MUST KNOW THE DIVINE PERSONALITY YOU ARE HAVING DEALINGS WITH. OTHERWISE, WHEN YOU ARE MARKED, YOU MAY NOT KNOW. WHEN YOU ARE NOT MARKED, YOU MAY NOT KNOW. TAKE NOTE OF WHAT I AM SAYING.
13. Who was revealed to us on the 8th of April 2012? ANOTHER DAY! If the first did not convince you, the second did not convince you, the third did not convince you, the fourth did not convince you, the Word never convinced you, why are you still wasting your time?
14. We have enough proofs. We have enough evidences. We have enough demonstrated signs. We are no longer talking of the signs of His coming. We are talking about the signs of His presence in the Bride. Evidence of His presence in the Bride. That is what we are talking about. We are not talking about second return again. We are not talking about the establishment of the Kingdom again.
15. You must know exactly where we are so that you know whether you are where we are or you are trailing behind.
16. Today is the last day you will hear something like this from the lips of THE SON OF MAN. Today is the last day you will hear something like this from the lips of THE SON OF MAN.
17. Look at the way He revised it. Look at where He started. Look at the number of Scriptures He read. This is the same way He revised the Great Sermon
18. Page 45 verse 17. Even this believing is not our own making; Because of his kindness, you have been saved through trusting Christ. And even trusting is not of yourselves; it too is a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8 LB. It is the grace of God for He causeth some to believe and causeth some to disbelieve.
19. Another way you will know where you belong to. If you really believe with all your heart, you know. If you really believe with all your heart, I say, you know.
20. If you are complying, obeying, respecting, fearing, reverencing the Word of God, you know.
21. If you are fooling yourself, giving the impression that you are believing when you are not; you are not putting it into practice because you do not want to, that is the only reason why you are getting destroyed.
22. THE POWER TO MAKE A CHOICE OF BELIEVING OR NOT BELIEVING IS CONFERRED TO YOU. THE LIFE WE ARE LIVING, I BELIEVE, IS A LIFE OF DECISION. A LIFE OF DECISION.
23. IF I DECIDE NOT TO BELIEVE, NOBODY WILL COMPEL ME TO DO OTHERWISE. IF I DECIDE TO OBEY, I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE DISOBEDIENT ONES.
24. MEASURE YOURSELF FROM THE POINT OF OBEDIENCE TO THE REVEALED CHRIST AND HIS MESSAGES. PLACE YOURSELF. TO WHAT EXTENT HAVE YOU BEEN OBEYING?
25. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN OBEYING IMPLICITLY, WHAT AND WHAT ARE YOUR REASONS, FOR YOU CANNOT BE OBEYING AND AT THE SAME TIME BE DOUBTING. YOU CANNOT BELIEVE AND DOUBT. YOU CANNOT DOUBT AND BELIEVE.
26. SO WHATEVER MIGHT BE YOUR REASON FOR NOT SUBMITTIING YOURSELF TOTALLY FOR THIS PERFECT AND ACCEPTABLE WILL OF GOD FOR HIS CHILDREN, THAT IS YOUR DESTROYER. THAT IS WHAT MARKS YOU OUT OF GOD’S REDEMPTION PLAN.
27. Page 46 verse 19 through 20. You others too who heard the good news on how to be saved, and trusted Christ. Even this trusting, is not of your own making. It is God‘s doing. If God does not help you, you cannot trust.
28. You cannot believe, it is the grace of God; lest any man should begin to boast, no! You contributed nothing to your salvation. God wants to save you because He wants to save you. Because He wants to save you, the Bible said that He has given you a believing heart to believe the truth.
29. Assuming that Christ is not revealed in our own day, is there any way we would have come to the knowledge of this truth we have now.
30. Were we not going to churches? Were we not carrying and reading the Bible? Were we not listening to messages here and there? Why did we not come to the knowledge of this truth?
31. It is because He had not been really revealed. You see why we would be under condemnation for refusing to follow Him Who opened our eyes.
32. Page 48 verse 24. The Holy Quran; Surah 29:11 [Yea-] and most certainly will God mark out those who have [truly] attained to faith, and most certainly will He mark out the hypocrites. [Muhammad Asad] Sure!!!
33. Page 64 verse 56. THE WORK OF SALVATION WAS FINISHED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN. CHRIST IS ONLY ON THE SCENE TO REVEAL THE SALVATION PLAN TO THE ELECT ONLY. NO OTHER PERSON WILL UNDERSTAND IT BUT THE ELECT.
34. Sure!!! The more you look, the less you see. The more you hear the less you understand.
35. Page 65 Nugget. We [who teach God’s Word] are from God [energized by the Holy Spirit], and whoever KNOWS GOD [THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE]…
36. SUSTAINED BY MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. But if you say you know God and you have no personal experience, you are a liar. Nothing is sustaining you. You are floating on the surface. You are a follow-follow. You have no testimony. In other words, you are a witness. Period!
37. … and whoever KNOWS GOD [THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE] listens to us [and has a deeper understanding of him].
38. Anybody that is doing the work of God by revelation, energized by the Spirit of God which is God Himself, will the person faint? Will he be wearied down? Will he complain? Will he murmur? Will he get tired?
39. If he gets tired, God has left Him. If he is wearied down, God never sent him. if he is complaining and murmuring, it is a sure sign that he is doing it with a deceitful heart, for “Whosoever God sends”, the Prophet say, “He backs him up.”
40. God cannot send you without following you. He will go before you, make a way for you and supply you with all that you need to complete that task, for God does not have any uncompleted project. I hope you are getting what I am saying.
41. If you join for joining sake because you think it is new; you think it is good; you have another motive, truly speaking, you will stop on the way.
42. Along the way, you will begin to find fault. If you do not find fault, you will begin to grow tired. You will lower your hand. I hope I am making sense.
43. By this, you will know who is behind your calling, for if the Spirit of God is behind your calling, He is the one that started the good work in you. He will never stop it halfway. If God stops it half way, He has broken His Word. I hope I am making sense.
44. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know [without any doubt] the spirit of truth [motivated by God] and the spirit of error [motivated by Satan]. 1 JOHN 4:6 AMP
45. Say what you want to say. I will do that which I want to do. You will know that the person is not from God. The spirit at work in the person is not from God.
46. But that person who is from God obeys as quickly as the Word goes forth. In some cases, you may not even give him any instruction before he does anything because the spirit at work is the same. You will always be happy with one another.
47. But when the two are opposing spirits, Oh no! There will be trouble in that home. There will be trouble in that union. Endless troubles. When one sees the other, he or she will get irritated. What is irritating the fellow? It is the thing that is inside the fellow which is very offensive.
48. Begin now to re-examine yourself and what has been happening in you. Until we get to that mark proper, then you will know whether you have been marked or not. I hope you are hearing what I am saying.
49. This MARK is very essential. If you purchase a car, the most important document is not the purchase receipt. It is not the registration number. It is Federal Proof of Ownership. Federal Proof of Ownership. I hope you are hearing Me.
50. Yesterday, I was driving along the road. I saw law enforcement agents; the Police. They halted two vehicles with tinted glasses all round.
51. And then, they called the young men out and interviewed them, only to notice that [1] They do not have the Federal Tinted Glass Permit. [2] The tinted glasses were not factory-fitted. The thing was water-proof material they bought from the market and coated the glasses.
52. The Police just pulled one out and tore it out and we saw the plain glass. And they were comparing that one with another one driven by another man, a Jeep.
53. The Police said, “Look at this one. Although it is tinted, but it is transparent. We can see everybody inside. But look at this your own. You purchased this water-proof and then coated it, so that nobody will see anything inside. But look at this one. Everybody inside and what they are carrying are visible at a glance. Yet, it is not transparent.”
54. The Police said, “Oga, can you give us your tinted permit, if you have it.” The man said, “Why? If I do not have it, does it mean I should not be driving?” The man brought the file. Pulled it out. A current tinted glass permit.
55. The Police officer collected it and said, “Gentlemen, this is what we call Federal Tinted Glass Permit. If you do not have it from Police headquarters Abuja, you and your vehicle will be impounded and detained.”
56. So, they were arguing that matter when I just blew my horn and one sergeant gave Me a sign to pass. And I passed.
57. What am I saying? Note what we are reading there. WE [WHO TEACH GOD’S WORD] ARE FROM GOD [ENERGIZED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT], AND WHOEVER KNOWS GOD [THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE] LISTENS TO US [AND HAS A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HIM]. WHOEVER IS NOT OF GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. BY THIS WE KNOW [WITHOUT ANY DOUBT] THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH [MOTIVATED BY GOD] AND THE SPIRIT OF ERROR [MOTIVATED BY SATAN]. 1 JOHN 4:6 AMP
58. WHATEVER ANYBODY WHO IS NOT A CHILD OF GOD DOES IS ILL-MOTIVATED. IT MUST BE MOTIVATED BY THE DEVIL, FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL CAN NEVER LEAD ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING THAT IS RIGHT.
59. THE SPIRIT OF ERROR; THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL CAN NEVER LEAD ANYBODY TO TAKE A RIGHT DECISION. IT CAN NEVER LEAD ANYBODY TO A RIGHT HABIT.
60. WHATEVER WILL LEAD ANYBODY TO TAKE A RIGHT DECISION AND TO ACT RIGHTLY MUST BE FROM GOD. THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAN NEVER LEAD YOU TO BE DISOBEDIENT TO GOD’S WORD; GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS; OR LEAD YOU INTO MAKING WRONG CHOICES. CAN IT HAPPEN?
61. THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL WILL ALWAYS LEAD A MAN OR A WOMAN TO HIS OR HER HEART’S DESIRES, PROPELLED AND MOTIVATED BY THE DEVIL, FOR THE DEVIL HAD DECIDED TO MAKE THE WAY OF EVIL TO BE VERY MUCH MORE GLAMOROUS; MUCH MORE ADORING IN THE EYES AND HEARTS; MINDS OF THOSE THAT ARE DESTINED TO PERISH.
62. THE DEVIL HAS MADE EVIL IN ALL ITS RAMIFICATIONS TO BE FAIR-SEEMING AND PLEASURABLE; SEDUCING THE HEARTS OF ALL THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN EARMARKED TO PERISH.
63. (Iblis) said: “O my Lord! Because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth and I will put them all in the wrong, — [Surah 15:39 Yusuf Ali translation 1946 Edition]
64. And the devil operates in the children of disobedience, according to the Word of God. The spirit that worketh among the children of disobedience. And who were from the very beginning, disobedient. And they are still disobedient till today.
65. 2wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: [Ephesians 2:2 KJV]
66. These are the people who, no matter how you warn them and talk to them, it goes into deaf ears. Speak the way you want to speak. Talk and talk and talk, “That one is your business. We can never listen.” Meaning that they can never obey.
67. To them, the Word of God is just a noisy cymbal. It is just a fairy tale. Moonlight story. The stories and songs of the minstrel Mike Ejeagha.
68. And watch the end of those people. It is always very swift and disastrous.

WHOSE MARK DO YOU HAVE?
GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP; 2021 Revised Edition; first preached on 27th June 2012; Page 80 verse 15.
2. “…His presence within us is God‘s guaranty that really He will give us all that He promised. Do we have His presence within us? And His spirit seal upon us means that God has already purchased us.”
3. Page 123 verse 31 through 33. … John J. Collins, The Son of Man in first-century Judaism. Descendent of King David, he will usher in an era of world peace. THE FINAL MESSIAH WILL BE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING, BORN OF HUMAN PARENTS. IT IS THUS POSSIBLE THAT HE IS ALREADY BORN.
4. Similarly, the Messiah will be mortal… The final Messiah will be the greatest leader and political genius that the world has ever seen. He will likewise be the wisest man ever to have lived.
5. He will put these extraordinary talents to use to precipitate a worldwide revolution, which will bring perfect social justice to humanity, and influence all people to serve God with a pure heart. – Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.
6. Page 173 verse 10 through 11. Whatever the masquerade does, that is what, what is inside does. Whatever the masquerade utters is what whatever that is inside utters. In other words, whatever that is inside the masquerade must know the masquerade. Moreover, the masquerade cannot speak, unless what is inside speaks. Is that the message?
7. If you want to see what is inside, look at the masquerade. If you cannot recognize the mask, you cannot recognize what is inside. The works the masquerade is doing is not the masquerade but what is in the mask because whatever that is in the mask is greater than the mask. That is why the mask will dance to the tune of what is inside. Is that not the message of the hour? That is the revelation of the hour.
8. Which one is greater, the person wearing a cloth or the cloth he is wearing? Is it a lie Brethren? Does a cloth walk? Do shoes walk? Is it not when someone puts them on that they start moving?
9. Page 178 verse 77. No matter how big the Ijele masquerade may look, only one person carries it. Other members will be following behind and chanting songs for the masquerade.
10. And not every person carries it. The person that carries the Ijele masquerade is spiritually chosen. If one carries it without being chosen, that person is gone.
11. Page 188 verse 43 through 44. 43…What did I tell you during our last camp meeting? That you will see many people coming from the East and West, North and South worldwide, whose faces you have never seen. 44Where they are worshipping God, you do not know…. It has come to pass.
12. Page 189 verse 46. [A part of a correspondence from our website]“…I want to thank THE SON OF MAN whom God is upon in the fullness for opening my eyes to discover the God of my day and also to know that HE is He, the Supreme Deity…”
13. A Youth Corper from Owerri [NYSC Camp]. He is not an Igbo man. He is from another tribe.
14. Page 193 verse 58. Have I not told you that you must know the day God met you? You must know the day you came face to face with God. The day that change took place in your life, the day that thing where your faith hanged, the day it took place, you must know it. … If you do not know your own, God has not marked you with His Mark of Ownership. You are follow-follow.
15. Page 198 verse 70. If we draw back, we draw back unto perdition. We move forward, we move forward to the saving of our souls. When we draw back, the spirit of God will no longer be pleased with us for He has made known unto us both His visible and invisible attributes. Hence we are without excuse. Draw back to where? The world that is no longer comfortable? Where do we draw back to? This is the only ground and pillar of truth.
16. Page 204 verse 6: Chapter Four of the Message, CHANGE YOUR HEART AND MIND; Preached on 31st October 1997 at the Household of God Abuja by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN, THE RESURRECTED BODY.
17. 6…When we say the Gentile world, Nigeria is a Gentile nation. If you do not know, know it. Any nation outside the Jews is a Gentile.
18. 7We were concluded in unbelief with the Gentiles because from the beginning we manifested it, when we said no to Muslim,…
19. When we said no to Muslims, God noted us as unbelievers. 1997! Can you see our guilt? Our inability to identify with Islam – TOTAL SUBMISSION TO GOD – that made us unbelievers in the sight of the Almighty God.
20. ….that we could not go any longer; that we could not join hands to fight the people in foreign land, we decided to settle with heathens and the Lord concluded us as idolaters. Now, the hour has come when we shall cross over to the other side where we shall have our inheritance. God is referring to the Israel of God which you are one of them.
21. But He said, “Now, the hour has come for us to move over to that thing which we said no to, for that is where we shall have our salvation. 1997! Our inheritance! Is it not our salvation? Alleluia!
22. From that point we now cross over to the other side, what have we witnessed. Brethren, what have we witnessed? Can we not see the fullness of the manifestations of God in our midst? Is it not this time that we have the assurance that we are on the right track?
23. A time came when the LORD Jesus told the people, “Let us cross over to the other side.” By the time he got there, they were already there.
24. 18Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. [Matthew 8:18 KJV Also Matthew 14:22 Mark 4:35, 6:45, Luke 8:22]
25. An Igbo adage says that you do not watch a masquerade display from one particular position.
26. He said He had other flock; other sheep on the other side which He must bring over, for the two must become one.
27. 16And I have other sheep [beside these] that are not of this fold. I must bring and impel those also; and they will listen to My Voice and heed My call, and so there will be [they will become] One Flock under One Shepherd. [John 10:16 AMP]
28. Read it again and follow it spiritually if you are having a copy.
29. 7We were concluded in unbelief with the Gentiles because from the beginning we manifested it, when we said no to Muslim, that we could not go any longer; that we could not join hands to fight the people in foreign land, we decided to settle with heathens and the Lord concluded us as idolaters. NOW, THE HOUR HAS COME when we shall cross over to the other side where we shall have our inheritance. God is referring to the Israel of God which you are one of them.
30. Page 206 verse 9. 9You are a holy people. A royal nation and peculiar people. Do you know what the Bible calls the Church? A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, a peculiar people unto God?
31. What is Israel? Is Israel not a peculiar nation? A royal priesthood unto God? The Scriptures cannot be broken.
32. Remember we are not here alone, Haggai‘s children are here with us. What? Keturah‘s children are also with us. Because when we were dispersed to all over the world, Keturah‘s children were not left alone.
33. Page 210 verse 17. 17If you understand this place say Amen! A real Jew is one whose heart is always right with God. A real child of God, a real Israelite is ONE WHOSE HEART IS ALWAYS RIGHT WITH GOD. Not one who is always quarrelling with God.
34. If your heart is not right with God in this most holy Faith, although you are circumcised like us in this Faith, although you are carrying Bible, although you are sitting down in Bridal Ministry Church at Abuja, you are not a real Israelite. God does not know you. God‘s ownership. We say no for you.
35. Page 211 verse 18 – 20. 18God will not mark you, God will not Okay your ticket, you are just an escort, an agboro [tout]. You know what agboro [tout] is all about? 1997! All this touts in the motor parks, they know the vehicles and where the vehicles are going to but they will never go with the vehicle: “Enter, enter, Abuja just five hundred Naira.” When the driver takes off, they stay back waiting for another vehicle.
36. They will collect their commission, for that is why they are there.
37. 19… God is not looking for a full Church with one thousand persons who carry Bible, the Message for membership sake. God is saying no to that. God is looking for a family with a changed mind, changed character—that is exactly what I am saying. Individuals with changed mind, changed heart, changed character.
38. 20If you are in this Faith and you have vowed a vow that you will never change, you are a fool because the Bible said, ―Though you put a fool in a mortar, pound him well, yet his foolishness will not depart and no man can change the nature of an Ethiopia, his colour remaineth the same.
39. Somebody vowing a vow against himself, that he will never repent, and that he will never drop his evil. Is he not the greatest fool?
40. Brethren, I have to thank God for your courage, for your patience, for your love, for your perseverance, and your longsuffering.
41. From morning till this hour, you have been sitting down, with your ears open, hearing this truth. This is the much God has given us today.
42. While the entire world is celebrating their Easter in their own way, some are celebrating with masquerade; some are celebrating with various kinds of dances; some are celebrating in the restaurants; some are celebrating in the plazas; shopping plazas. That is what they understand Easter to be.
43. But we are celebrating the Passover; celebrating the resurrected Christ, that He has resurrected in our lives, giving us that eternal hope of eternal life.
44. If He never resurrected, our Faith in Him will be useless. For the fact that He resurrected from the dead, He has given us the assurance, practicalized it that He has conquered death.
45. And that all of us who will believe in Him and trust in Him; cling to Him or cleave to Him will, at the same time, resurrect from the dead, if we peradventure die.
46. But as many as shall remain alive on that day when salvation from this world will be made complete, when we shall be clothed with the promised immorality, we will never taste of physical death anymore.
47. Rather, our mortal bodies shall be transformed in a twinkling of an eye, and we shall be clothed with immortal bodies.
48. The essence of this Message is to help us to know our positions in Christ; to know whether we are bearing the Seal of God; the Mark of Ownership of God.
49. If you are not bearing the Mark of God’s acceptance, you are bearing the Mark of God’s rejection. The two marks are going on.
50. From the Holy Qur’an, Allah marks the believers; the true believers. And at the same time, He marks the hypocrites.
51. In the Bible, the true believers bear the Mark of Christ, while the false believers; the hypocrites; the heathens bear the mark of the beast. All of them are spiritual marks.
52. So, whether we call it mark of the hypocrites or mark of the beast or mark of the anti-Christ. Anti-Christ means those that are opposing Christ. Opposing Christ means rejecting His Message or claiming they believe without putting it into practice. Those that find it very difficult to obey; to submit to the perfect will of God; these are the people that are receiving the mark of rejection. God has already marked all.
53. So, knowing that we are marked, it lies upon us now; it is our responsibility through the Word to find out which mark we are bearing, it is our responsibility to find out whose seal we have already possessed; who has stamped us and branded us.
54. Whether the devil has branded us as his own or God has branded us as His own, how do you know it?
55. The moment you are being branded, tagged, stamped, marked and sealed by the devil, you will find it difficult to accept the things of God. You will find it very difficult to live the life of truth.
56. Obedience to the Word of God will be very difficult for you. Whatever you will be doing will be ordinary manipulation and pretenses.
57. But it is not so with the real seed of God. Every true seed of God numbered among the Elect by the revelation of this level of truth, has found himself and has heard his name.
58. I know where I belong to. You know where you belong to. Shall we pray.
59. SONG: [LORD, I believe. LORD, I believe. All things are possible. LORD, I believe.]
CONCLUSION
PRAYER
Our Heavenly Father, we believe all we have heard from You today. We believe all we have been hearing from You from the time we got acquainted with You both personally and practically till this day.
2. We will keep on believing. If You delay the translation of our mortal bodies, we will remain believing, for it is not of our own making; but that is Your Divine design. That is the way You have moulded us.
3. And this work You have started in us, we are sure and certain that You will accomplish it with joy, according to Your Word of Promise.
4. We are pleading with You. Let there be nothing that will bring discouragement to us. From now henceforth, help us to look away from all things that distract, and fix our love, affection only upon You. May the desire to do Your perfect will be our pre-occupation.
5. LORD, we pray for our children that travelled to Abuja. They are there O God, for the purpose You know very well. We bring them before Your presence saying, “Forgive them if they have compromised their Faith in distant land.”
6. But we pray earnestly that You keep them away from compromise. May they never, because of the fear of being misunderstood or fear of being rejected stoop low to say Amen to anything, to subscribe to anything that run contrary to their belief.
7. Instead of yielding to that temptation of compromise, make the nest uncomfortable to enable them rush down here.
8. While they remain there, cover them with Thy Glory. Give them adequate protection spiritually and physically. While they will be coming back, in the manner You took them there safely, bring them back safely. Take away all hindrances, all oppositions and all stumbling blocks from their ways.
9. Father, to us that have listened to You, we pray that You continue to use us in this Family as a channel of blessings to all mankind.
10. To all Your Elect scattered all over the world, cause them wherever they may be to hook up, Father, with the websites and to hook up with these Messages so that their faith will be firmly established in You and in You alone.
11. To the rest who are troubling Your people and who are still very much in the Camp, we hand them over to Your care. Trouble them out of the midst of Your children so that we can have this promised peace, not only in our hearts, but in our homes as we worship You at home.
12. In all our activities for the rest of the day, we pray that you have pre-eminence.
13. To Your Name, O LORD of Hosts, we give the Praise; we give the Glory; We give the Honour, we give the Victory for seeing us through today.
14. We pray You see us through, throughout the week we have stepped in. Let there be no evil report. Heal us of diverse sicknesses. Strengthen our feeble knees. Strengthen our hearts.
15. Let there be nobody whose heart will faint because of fear or because of wide spread evil, knowing that You prophesied concerning the day we are in.
16. May what we are seeing encourage us to believe You the more instead of being discouraged.
17. Thank You for hearing our prayers. May Your Name be ever praised, Father throughout the whole earth. By every Elect of God. For Christ’s sake, we pray. Amen.
