PREACHED ON SUNDAY, 3RD MAY 2020 @ THE BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN The Ageless Being
Once you are a seed of God, you can never call white black because you are a seed of god. You will always justify god that god is true. To God be the glory for great things he has done. Over familiarity kills. Whosoever that belongs to this faith should depart from wrong doing. I am laying a solid foundation that cannot be shaken. The church begins in the home, church has gone back to home. Are you committing sin in the church? No sir. You are committing it in the home. All these evils you are committing, are you committing them in this church? It is at your houses you are perpetrating evils. I am sowing a seed I will reap one of these days.
I am the word explained pg. 21:1 and if you continue in my word pg. 83:24-25

THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH
We have already said it that we will use the remaining part of our lives here on earth to praise the Lord. Even if it remains the last breath in Me, I will use it to sing His praise, for the devil is a liar.
If devil says “Close your mouth”, say No! Open your mouth. If he says “Sit down”, say No! Stand up. If he commands you to stand up, say No! Sit down. Walk in the opposite direction.
Always take sides with God. And then, you put the devil to shame, for the devil aims at stopping us from worshipping God. That is why, the Bible said he is a thief. He cometh only but to steal, to kill, to destroy, to carry away.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 KJV
And what is more? He is a coward. That is why he does not fight and stay. He fights and runs away because he is a coward.
So, the spirit God has given to us is not the spirit of fear but the spirit of boldness. The spirit of courage. The spirit of patience. The spirit of truth that will help us to serve God acceptably, resisting the fierceness of the devil.
No matter how fierce he might be while threatening us; no matter the pressure he is mounting. With the courage God has given to us and with His enabling power, we must be overcomers. Amen.
If you decree a thing, God will establish same. So, when you believe, your God will approve of it. Straight away! That is why when God speaks, He expects us to echo ‘Amen’. No more. No less.
I am not surprised at what I am passing through. It has always been like that.
Whether we are worshipping God in the home or in the GTC or other fellowship venues, God remaineth the same. The same yesterday, today and forever.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. [Hebrews 13:8 KJV]
The same way, the devil does not change. The devil has remained that same old serpent. The craftiest being. The greatest enemy of truth. The greatest enemy of the children of God.
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. [Revelation 20:2 NIV]
He has never changed. The devil has never changed. Hope I am making sense? So, what he changes are his plans. He changes his strategies.
And God has given us enough wisdom so that we must never be ignorant of all those strategies.
lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. [2 Corinthians 2:11 KJV]
What God has given to us is greater than what the devil is using, for greater is He that is with us than he that is opposing us.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. [1 John 4:4 KJV]
And that is why in Christ, we have the victory. I say, in Christ, we have the victory. Christ has conquered the world and has given us the victory.
SONG: [We are victorious. Yes, we are victorious. Glory be to God who has given us victory.]
We will never die. We will live to declare the goodness of the Lord.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. [Psalms 118:17 KJV]
I have already programmed all the Elect of God worldwide today to go through the message titled, “FEAR GOD EXCLUSIVE”. It is “Exclusive” in the sense that I vetted it Myself.
The first copy had some problems. I had to do some vetting and then came out with a perfect copy. I have already uploaded it. So, it is on the table. That is what we shall consider. Let Apostle come and read it.
YOU SEE WHY YOU MUST LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF ACCEPTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. BE GODLY, HUMBLE, AND SINCERE AND LIVE A HOLY LIFE, SO THAT NO MATTER HOW THEY LOOK AT YOU IN ALL ANGLES THEY CAN NEVER SEE ANY MISBEHAVIOUR TO REPROACH GOD. WE ARE CHRIST’S REPRESENTATIVES, ALL EYES ARE ON US. LET US THROW AWAY UNNECESSARY BURDEN. YOU MUST KNOW THE SYMPHONY OF THE MESSAGE YOU BELIEVE. WE HAVE A TARGET AND OUR TARGET IS TO MAKE SURE WE DON’T DISAPPOINT HE THAT HAS CALLED US. THAT ALMIGHTY GOD WILL NOT REGRET THE CONFIDENCE HE REPOSED ON US. THUS, EVERY BROTHER, EVERY SISTER, TRY TO MAKE HIS OR HER CALLING AND ELECTION STAND SURE.
IF YOU CONTINUE IN MY WORD PG. 92:9-10 AND PG. 103:41-42

THE FEAR OF GOD COMPELS US TO LIVE RIGHT
FEAR GOD EXCLUSIVE; Preached on Sunday, 7th December 2014 at the Household of God, Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man.
Chapter 1 verse 36: He said, “But fear He. Fear not they that will kill your flesh and stop there. Their power will end there. They are many. They are uncountable. …
Fear one man who can trouble the whole world at the same time, send them into their homes at the same time, and declared all the streets deserted at the same time, all by the Spoken Word. That is the Man you should fear.
An Igbo adage says that if one man cooks for the community, the community will consume all, but if the community cooks for one person, that person will not be able to finish the food.
But there is one man who can cook, and the whole world cannot finish what he cooked.
Chapter 1 verse 49: Saint Luke chapter 12 verses 4 through 5 “And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, Fear Him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea. I say unto you, fear him…”
One Man! Fear that Man. One man! Do not fear they, but fear Him.
Verse 51: Thus, He said, “Fear Him and yea, I say unto you, fear Him.”
Is this not warning that is going forth? Fear God! Fear this One Man. This One Man that is being talked about. One Man that can cook that which the community cannot finish. Fear Him. I say unto you again, “Fear Him. Fear Him.”
Chapter Two: FEAR GOD (2): My Topic is titled, FEAR GOD.
Do you see why whatever we do in this flesh; whatever we do in this world, if we do not do it in the fear of the Lord, it then means we are fearing ordinary death in the flesh or punishment in the flesh.
YOUR GOODNESS; YOUR RIGHTEOUS DEEDS MUST BE GENERATED BY THE FEAR OF GOD. OTHERWISE, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. IT BECOMES SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.
IF THE FEAR OF GOD CANNOT COMPEL YOU TO DO RIGHT AND TO AVOID EVIL, IT THEN GOES TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE SERPENT SEED.
YOU SEE WHY WHOEVER THAT IS LIVING THE LIFE OF DISOBEDIENCE IS DIRECTLY CHALLENGING GOD’S AUTHORITY, FOR IF THE FEAR OF GOD IS IN YOU, YOU ARE AFRAID THAT GOD WILL PUNISH YOU.
AND YOU DO NOT KNOW THE WAY GOD WILL PUNISH YOU. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT HE WILL USE IN PUNISHING YOU. YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG HIS PUNISHMENT WILL LAST.
Can you not see that this is enough to generate fear?
SO, IF THE FEAR OF GOD CANNOT COMPEL US TO LIVE RIGHT, IT THEN MEANS WE HAVE HARDENED OUR HEARTS AGAINST GOD.
So, let there be no such a person in this family who will say, “Let the hell come down.” Let there be no such an obstinate heathen here.
Fear God! That is why the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. If you are growing and not fearing God, who else will you fear? If you do not fear God, who else will you fear?
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [Proverbs 1:7 KJV]
SOMETIMES, THE FEAR WE HAVE IS THE FEAR OF MEN AND THE FEAR OF WHAT MEN CAN DO TO US. WE DO NOT WANT TO ENTER INTO THE JUDGMENT OF PEOPLE AROUND US. FEAR NOT WHAT MEN CAN DO UNTO YOU. THE HIGHEST THEY CAN DO IS TO MURDER YOU. THAT IS ALL.
But there is only one man you will fear. That man who has that power to kill you in the flesh, also bring you back to life and then torment you, your soul in hellfire throughout all eternity.
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [Matthew 10:28 KJV]
Even here on earth. Do you know the nature His punishment will take? Is there anybody here who knows how God will visit his iniquity?
Do you know what God will use in judging you, I mean, in the flesh? Sin must be judged in the flesh, but do you know what He will use to punish you? You see why you must fear God.
Chapter 2 verse 3: If you answer Fear God and you are found in disobedience, will you be saved? Your name will not save you but what you manifest is what will save you.
It is a quote. Your name can never save you. If you answer Elias, it does not make you a prophet. You answer Emmanuel, it does not make you God. You answer Innocent, it does not mean you are innocent. You might be guilty and your name is innocent. Is it true?
So, your name alone can never save you. Your name is a title. No man was born here with a name. People gave you the name.
That is why the name God gives is the best. People give names, God also gives names. Do you believe it? Which one do you prefer? Human naming or God’s naming?
There are too many people their parents named. When God met them, He renamed them, and gave them a new name.
That is why He promised that all that will be in Paradise will come in with a new name which the mouth of the Lord shall proclaim.
The Lord will give them a new name, a new heart, a new life, a new spirit to enable them dwell in the new earth and the new heaven, For everything shall be new so that the word of God will come to pass, “Lo, I make all things new.”
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. [Revelation 21:5 KJV]
you cannot carry old life or your old name. SO, KEEP ON PRAISING GOD, OBEYING GOD AND WORSHIPPING GOD UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR OWN NEW NAME.
That is why God said He will give a name to people and only those that are given that name will know what the name is. The rest will not know.
Has God not been doing it? Remember, He changed Cephas to Peter. True or false? He changed Saul to Paul. True or false? Jacob to Israel. Abram to Abraham. Sarai to Sarah.
No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. …… God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.” [Genesis 17:5, 15 NIV]
Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” [Genesis 32:28 NIV]
Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. …… duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites. [Genesis 36:8, 43 KJV]
[42]Andrew then led (brought) Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas–which translated is Peter [Stone]. [John 1:42 AMP]
[9]Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, [Acts 13:9 KJV]
In the new testament, they are many. In the old testament, they are many. And He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
SO, THE NAME GIVEN TO A PERSON BY GOD IS THE BEST. I HOPE I AM MAKING SENSE. SO, KEEP ON WORSHIPPING GOD UNTIL THE MOUTH OF THE LORD WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NEW NAME.
And if you watch any name God gives a man, many things will follow. Amen!
Remember, you cannot continue in your old habit and get a new name. Thank you!
In our midst, from time to time, you see people changing their names because they want to. Is it not true? Even the civil law approves change of name. Remember, this is purely human. It is human.
If your parents gave you a name and you grow up and detest that name, you have a right to change it. Is it true?
For example, look at Chibuikem here. We named him Silas, but he grew up and changed it to Success. We named Ijeoma Doris, but she grew up and changed it to Peace.
We named Onyedika, Mercy, but she grew up and changed it to Favour. Did you get the Message? We never protested.
NOW, THERE IS A NAME GOD WILL GIVE THEM IF THEY WORSHIP GOD RIGHTLY. THE LORD WILL GIVE THEM HIS OWN NAME. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE? IT IS GOING TO BE A NEW NAME ALTOGETHER.
AND THAT NAME WILL COINCIDE WITH THEIR NEW LIVES, NEW HEART AND NEW SPIRIT TO ENABLE THEM DWELL WITH GOD IN THE NEW EARTH AND NEW HEAVEN WHEREIN DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS.
SO, DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NAME, CHANGE YOUR CHARACTER. WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR HABIT, GOD WILL WATCH YOU.
The problem we are having is that Brethren are finding faults with their human names and they change to another human name. You are still standing on the same platform.
WHAT YOU NEED TO CHANGE IS YOUR CHARACTER SO THAT YOUR CHARACTER WILL ATTRACT GOD’S FAVOUR, SO AS TO GIVE YOU HIS OWN NAME. Am I making sense at all?
So, do not query your name, query your character. Come out of your evil ways. Begin to serve God in spirit and in truth, and God will give you a new name.
Chapter 2 verse 5. If you are having the fear of men instead of the fear of God, you are a hypocrite. …
It will lead to eye-service and self-justification. That is why when people are doing such things, if you do not recognize and appreciate them, they stop. They begin to demonstrate.
Sometimes, they become hostile. “Of all these things I am doing, you cannot even appreciate it by telling me, “Weldone!”” You see! You are not doing it for God. What is compelling you is the fear of men, “So that they will not say I did this. And I did that.”
I hope we are following this Message? It is a teaching; FEAR GOD.

BE CAREFUL, LEST YOUR ADVOCATE BECOMES YOUR JUDGE
Chapter 2 from verse 8: For if you will enter into judgment with God, who then will be your advocate? Who will be your advocate? Who will be your lawyer that will come and free you out of the hand of God? …
Who will speak for you? Who will advocate for you? Who will be your advocate in the judgment seat of God?
So, the best thing is to avoid that judgment throne. Because once you get there, and you start looking for him as your advocate, that person does not exist.
… It is upon this backdrop that the ancient people of old worshipped God rightly. The fear of men produces suppression of feeling. …
There is one Message God gave us. It is in line with this one. If you see it, dig it out from the library: BE CAREFUL LEST YOUR ADVOCATE BECOMES YOUR JUDGE.
And whether you like it or not, your advocate must be your judge. Did you get the Message?
When He is sitting on the seat as a lawyer, He is an advocate, pleading with the Father at all times to forgive and never to lay a charge against us.
But the moment He leaves that Mercy Seat, He goes to Judgment Seat. No more advocacy; It is thus written. Period!
Chapter 2 from verse 18: 1 Corinthians chapter 10 verses 1 through 11. “…for we must never forget, dear brother, what happened to our people in the wilderness long ago. God guided them by sending a Cloud that moved along ahead of them…”
Are we beneficiaries of this visitation? …
The first visitation was the pillar of cloud to guide us in the way we should go, for we have never gone this way before.
I use to say it then, “How I wish you are seeing what is leading Me How I wish you can see who is standing behind Me.”
Nobody could see Him until we were invited to come with our cameras. Yet, unbelief did not vanish.
Why are we in this Faith? Is it because we are following brother Odoemena or we are following the Cloud?
It is because we are following the Cloud, for we have never gone this way before.
When God came down in our midst, He told us to be very careful and that He has placed His Name upon the Vessel He has chosen, and that He will go before Him to show Him the way He will go.
God said that He will fix His eyes on Him, the Elohim and that the entire congregation should fix their eyes on Him. Over-familiarity should not come in.
He said, “Do not go to the right. Do not go to the left. Fix your eyes upon your leader. He is your Guide and your Instructor, for My Name is upon Him. And I am the One leading Him in the path He should go.
Remember, He is a very delicate Spirit. Very sensitive Spirit. A sovereign Spirit. Do not provoke Him to wrath, For He will never, never pardon your transgression. He will bring all your transgressions to judgment whether you like it or noT. Did you get the Message?
That is why, if you know who the Spirit of Truth is, who the Holy Spirit is, happy are you. You can never commit unpardonable sin.
For immediately after the Lord Jesus left the scene, who else came? The Holy Spirit. He, the Spirit of Truth.
[13]But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
And He said, if you speak against the Father, He will pardon. You speak against the Son, He will pardon. But when He the Holy Spirit will come, one word you utter against Him, you will never be pardoned in this world nor in the world to come.
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. [Matthew 12:31 – 32 KJV]
Was it not a warning? And He told you, “I am giving away. I am not leaving you comfortless. I am sending you The Holy Spirit.”
[16]And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; [17]even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: [18]I will come to you. [John 14:16 – 18 KJV]
He warned you, “He that is coming after Me has no room for mercy”. Rather, He will accommodate your judgment for you, pile it for you, for He must judge iniquity.
He is of a purer eye than to behold iniquity.
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? [Habakkuk 1:13 KJV]
He is born to righteousness. Righteousness is in Him. He cannot live in iniquity. Were we not warned?
And the angel came to me and greeted me with his voice, and said to me ‘This is the Son of Man who is born to righteousness, and righteousness abides over him, and the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes him not.’ [Ethiopic Book of Enoch 71:14]
He said, “Do not go to the right. Do not go to the left. Fix your eyes on Him. Remember, you have never gone this way before.”
Who has ever gone this way before? Not even THE SON OF MAN. Apostle Peter Odoemena has never gone this way before.
Moses never knew the way from Egypt to Canaan. He was born in Egypt, brought up in Egypt. He was not among the children of Jacob who went to Egypt to buy food. Was he among?
Why must it be Moses to lead the people back to Canaan? It took God to come in the form of Pillar of Cloud to show Moses the way. And then the people will have faith in Moses, following his leadership.
That is how God has been doing things since the world began. He cannot change it because of you.
If you say, “If He is God, let Him come and lead me”, you become Korah. You become Dathan. You become Abiram.
[1]Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: [2]and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: [3]and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord? [Numbers 16:1 – 3 KJV]
You say, “Until I see, I will not believe”, you become another Thomas in our day. You will see it, but you will not enjoy it.
[24]But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. [25]The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. [John 20:24 – 25 KJV]
Chapter 2 verse 19: Are we beneficiaries of this visitation? Why are we in this Faith? Is it because we are following Brother Odoemena or we are following the Cloud? It because we are following the Cloud. The same way they followed, the same Cloud we are following, proving that God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Is it a lie? The Cloud knows the way to the wilderness. Our duty is to follow.
Moses was following the Cloud, and the people were following Moses. So, the Cloud saved Moses. Moses saved all that believed in Him. Did you get the Message?
Moses was guided into the promised land by the Cloud. Then Moses guided the people that believed in Him, with the help of the Cloud, for without the Cloud, Moses knew not the way.
Chapter 2 verse 30: For the devil has never impersonated the Pillar of Cloud, the Pillar of light, the Rainbow by day and by night. …
And he will never till the end of the world. It is not his attribute, and he cannot fake it. The devil cannot fake it. No magician can fake it. If it can be faked, by now, we would have seen the fakes. We would have seen the counterfeits.
When you see the Roman calendar, and there is anybody there who is supposed to be a saint among them, they will draw a halo.
They will draw it artistically, to show you that they know that for a saint to appear, there must be a supernatural vindication; A halo. Why do they use a biro pen to draw halo? It is because they know.
Some even made captains for themselves who will lead them back to Egypt because of garlic, onions, cucumber and water-melon, pineapple, apple, etc. Things that are worth nothing.
Tell Me what is good in green pepper… These things are things human beings will eat after which they will die. Food, food, food. What the stomach eats. “The stomach is important.”
Was it not the reason why Esau sold his birth right? Many have sold their birth rights today because of food, shelter, motor, as if these things can give them eternal life of if they die; as if they will take any of them to wherever they are going to.
Who has ever carried his vehicle into the grave? Who has ever carried his mansion into the grave? A portion of the mansion may be opened and the man is lowered into the grave and sealed. People will remain there.
I mean, we better begin to think. Tell Me what you will eat and stop complaining of hunger. Is there anything you will eat to stop hunger?
Look at what is attracting their attention. These are what they said they were enjoying; garlic, onion, cucumber, green pepper. Anybody that is denied food, a crime would have been committed against him.
Just like one man who stabbed his brother because of garden egg. He used the knife meant for breaking kola nut to stab his brother in the hand because of garden egg. Garden egg! Have you eaten garden egg? Garden egg that contains nothing.
Immediately, he rolled his sleeves and pounced on his brother on the floor, alleging, “Anytime we come for an occasion, he will bypass me and share to others.” What was he bypassed with? Garden egg!
A covetous man covets all things. He even covets the sand on the earth.
It is better that they bring him a basket of garden eggs so that he will take his own share.
Tell Me what is good in green pepper, what is good in garlic, water-melon, salad? Hence, the general name for all these things is salad.
If you put all these things together, it becomes salad. These were the things they desired more than their lives.
I believe it with all My heart, because salad materials are imported from Egypt, even till now.
ANY MOMENT WE SUCCEED IN GETTING A FAMILY, A CHURCH, A GROUP OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS MAN, WHO CANNOT BE FOUND IN SIN, WHO CANNOT PLAY WITH HIS WORDS, WHO IS VINDICATED WITH THIS SHEKINAH CLOUD AROUND HIM, WHO IS NOT TAKING US BACK TO THE OLD GENEALOGY, BUT OPENING OUR EYES TO SOMETHING WE CAN CALL NEW DOCTRINES, ONE WE CAN STILL LOOK BACK ON THE SCENE, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TO SAY GLORY BE TO GOD, FOR OUR PROBLEM IS SOLVED. IF ANYBODY IS PERISHING, IT IS BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR HIM. IF ANY MAN IS GOING TO HELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR HIM. BUT ALL THAT WILL BE SAVED MUST SURELY BE GLADDENED.

WE ARE FOLLOWING A STAR
Chapter 2 from verse 60: Any generation, any dispensation where Christ never revealed Himself in human form, no being will be saved in that dispensation. If Christ never appeared, it means a saviour never appeared.
Good. And if a saviour never appeared in that dispensation, who can be saved?
“…He was there with them as a mighty Rock of spiritual refreshment. Yet, after all this, most of them did not obey God…”
William Branham, the Prophet, said that in every dispensation, a star must be sent to guide God’s people right.
And this is our dispensation. We are following a Star. We are following a Star. That is why we are different from others.
If you watch all denominations, is there any one that is following a star? They are on their own. That is why they break up from time to time.
From Roman Catholic, too many churches have emerged. From the Anglican church, too many have emerged. Every Pentecostal has broken into pieces several times.
In other words, everybody claims he is a star. Before you know it, people will break away and form stars.
But it is not so with God’s people. Among God’s people, there must be one Star and that is a Great Star. The Great Star.
Chapter 2 from verse 66: Many of you that have come to Me will go home and conclude that the Son of Man gave instruction to do this and that, when I never subscribed to whatever you were doing.
But I spoke to you, I told you what you should do and you were pressing on Me, giving Me reasons upon reasons until I will tell you, “Okay, go and do it.”
He will jump up. That is the time the person will jump up, “Yes! At last, Daddy has considered it. Daddy said I should go and do it.” This is because that is what he has been looking for. God gave him the desires of his heart, “Since that is the way you want it, go and do it.”
What you have been receiving from Me are nothing but permissive wills to meet the desires of your hearts for you had already taken your decisions before coming to Me.
Have we not been witnessing it? People taking their decisions before coming to the Son of Man to ratify decisions. But where He says No, they get offended. They begin to give reasons why it must be the way they want it.
Have they come to consult Me? They have just come to tell Me what they have made up their minds to do. And He will not stop there, He will only change the implications and tell you, “Since you want to go that way, go”.
That is what brings about “Talking when I am talking.” Chika, I hope you are paying attention? (Brother Chika answered, “Yes sir”) Thank you.
If you tell Me what you have already done, will I tell you to go and cancel it? We will be moderating it, knowing very well that you have already erred. He has the spirit of Balaam.
Ephesians 4:17-24 (GNB). In the Lord’s name, then, I warn you: do not continue to live like the heathen, whose thoughts are worthless and whose minds are in the dark.
They have no part in the life that God gives, for they are completely ignorant and stubborn. They have lost all feeling of shame; they give themselves over to vice and do all sorts of indecent things without restraint. That was not what you learned about Christ!
You certainly heard about him, and as his followers you were taught the truth that is in Jesus.
So get rid of your old self, which made you live as you used to—the old self that was being destroyed by its deceitful desires.
Your hearts and minds must be made completely new, and you must put on the new self, which is created in God’s likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy.
Ephesians 4:17-19 (AMP). So this I say and solemnly testify in [the name of] the Lord [as in His presence], that you must no longer live as the heathen (the Gentiles) do in their perverseness [in the folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility] of their minds.
Their moral understanding is darkened and their reasoning is beclouded. [They are] alienated (estranged, self-banished) from the life of God [with no share in it; this is] because of the ignorance (the want of knowledge and perception, the wilful blindness) that is deep-seated in them, due to their hardness of heart [to the insensitiveness of their moral nature].
In their spiritual apathy they have become callous and past feeling and reckless and have abandoned themselves [a prey] to unbridled sensuality, eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity [that their depraved desires may suggest and demand].
FEARGOD EXCLUSIVE; Chapter 3 verse 1: I want to hit something. This tape I want to make will have volume one, volume two, volume three, volume four, all titled, Fear God.
And that is what the devil is attacking; for we have not opened it since this Message came out until now. And since I promised it, I have never gone beyond this Volume One.
Each time I plan to give Volumes Two and Three, the devil will attack Me. I planned it. You all heard it from Me, that Sunday Fellowships will begin Saturday night, to enable Me see whether I will finish the teaching. I applied the teachings.
Yesterday morning, before I left, I told Mummy, “I am rushing to Onitsha to pick all these few things for the family and for Myself”, intending to be back on time to enable Me put Myself together for the teaching, not knowing that the devil heard it and then attacked Me immediately, kept Me in the bed, lying prostrate on the ground until daybreak.
You all saw what happened last night, but God was there saying, “Cheer up!” I am telling you the whole truth.
It is amazing grace that I am still talking till now. The strength is from God, not from any other place. Let us go ahead.
But will the Message be completed? Sure! So he has been attacking teachings because he knows that it is through teachings that the children of God will be saved.
Once God comes, He comes with teaching. Do you believe it? From the very beginning, God started with teaching.
So there is a need for a teaching Priest. Every teaching must be attacked by the devil unless that teaching is not truth from God.
This is because once I teach you right, you will behave right. Teaching contains your life, that is why we are enjoined to teach that which is sound doctrine.
You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. [Titus 2:1 NIV]
By so doing, we save our lives and the lives of those that hear us.
16Look well to yourself [to your own personality] and to [your] teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you. [1 Timothy 4:16 AMP]
And that sound doctrine you have received, God said, “Hand it over to trustworthy men who will be able to teach others.”
And those things you have heard from me by many witnesses, entrust those things to trustworthy men, who are able to also teach others. [2 Timothy 2:2 Aramaic Bible in Plain English]
There was a time Israel was without a teaching Priest, all of them went astray. They hired people who would come and teach them for a pay and it was a disaster.
Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. [2 Chronicles 15:3 KJV]
So, the moment a teaching Priest appeared from God, he brought them back to the pathway of right. Teach them right and they will act right.
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.
They started worshipping the idols, given their allegiance to things that are no gods, for which course the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and He destroyed all of them that were guilty of unbelief. He never spared even one.
He did what? He destroyed all of them that were guilty of unbelief. He never spared even one.
If we are found guilty of unbelief today, will God spare us? No! You see why you must give ear to what God is saying.
Promise, what are you turning your pages of the Bible for? Have you become another Elias? Okay you are looking for what? Will you keep this Bible?
We want to read the Scripture we were quoting. 1st Corinthians 1:18-24 (GNB). For the message about Christ’s death on the cross is nonsense to those who are being lost.
Have you heard it? Take note of it. The Message about Christ is what? Nonsense! By those who are on their way to destruction.
… But for us who are being saved, it is God’s power.
The Scripture said, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and set aside the understanding of the scholars.
So then, where does that leave the wise or the scholars or the skillful debaters of this world? God has shown that this world’s wisdom is foolishness.
For God in His wisdom made it impossible for people to know Him by means of their own wisdom. Instead by means of their so-called “foolish” message we preach…
The “foolish” Message which we preach; they were the people that labelled it “foolish”. You see why it is sounding foolish to those who are perishing.
…God decided to save those who believe. Jews want miracles for proof, and Greeks look for wisdom.
As for us, we proclaim the crucified Christ, a message that is offensive to the Jews and nonsense to the Gentiles;
but for those whom God has called, both Jews and Gentiles, this message is Christ, who is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
For what seems to be God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
1st Corinthians 1:18 – 21 (AMP). For the story and message of the cross is sheer absurdity and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition, but to us who are being saved it is the [manifestation of] the power of God.
For it is written, I will baffle and render useless and destroy the learning of the learned and the philosophy of the philosophers and the cleverness of the clever and the discernment of the discerning; I will frustrate and nullify [them] and bring [them] to nothing.
Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time and age?
Has not God shown up the nonsense and the folly of this world’s wisdom?
For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy,
God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him). Amen.
BECAUSE THE FEAR OF GOD LEAD US TO OBEDIENCE. THE LOVE OF GOD LEAD US TO OBEDIENCE. IN EVERY NATION, IN OTHER WORDS, GOD CAN SAVE FROM ANY NATION. JESUS THE CHRIST MADE IT CLEAR, “WHOSOEVER THAT COMETH UNTO ME, I WILL IN NO WISE CAST AWAY”. THAT IS, IF YOU COME WITH A TRUE HEART. IF YOU ALLOW HIS WORD TO DWELL IN YOU, YOU ALSO WILL DWELL IN CHRIST. IF YOU ABIDE IN ME AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, TWO OF US WILL BECOME ONE. YOU SEE WHAT THE WORD OF GOD IS DOING, PREPARING YOU, PREPARING ME FOR ONE THING. SO, IF FOR ANY REASON AT ALL, YOU ARE RESISTING THE WORD, YOU ARE DOING YOURSELF MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE LORD PG. 48:5 & PG. 50:9-10

GO AFTER THE GIVER AND NOT THE GIFT
Continue with the Message, FEAR GOD EXLUSIVE. There is one translation of Good News that says that the Gentiles believe what agrees with their philosophies.
There are too many versions of Good News Bible in the market. Too many versions of Living Bible. So, when you are buying your own, be very careful of what you are purchasing.
Chapter 3 from verse 10: “Who are these people?” “Those that have the reverential fear of God, obey God and honor Him, they are made acceptable unto Him.”
For the scripture said, “In every nation, whosoever that feareth and honoureth the Lord, the same is made acceptable unto Him.” (Acts 10:38)
Mark 7:7 – 9 (GNB) It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach human rules as though they were my laws!’
“You put aside God’s command and obey human teachings.” And Jesus continued, “You have a clever way of rejecting God’s law in order to uphold your own teaching.
Yes, these are the Gentiles also. There are many things by which you will know them. They have a clever way of setting aside God’s law that they may do as they have purposed in their heart. That they will have their way.
Those that believe very much in their traditions, culture, customs of their people; They still go to church and uphold those practices.
They have a clever way of setting them aside. I mean the Word of God, so that they keep on magnifying the traditions of their people.
They are found in our midst. If not for the strictness of THE SON OF MAN, a good number of people among us would have taken traditional titles by now. They would have become traditional rulers.
Even many, am I sure that many have not initiated themselves secretly in their communities so that when they go home they wear red cap. When they come to our midst they dress like us.
I am telling you the whole truth. There are many who are desiring it but they do not have the means.
Chapter 3 from verse 35: With the gift from God, you can prophesy and it will come to pass. You can pray and the sick will be healed.
In other words, you have the gift of prophecy; You have the gift of healing; You can speak in tongues; You can interpret tongues, and you can do many things. These are gifts. Salvation is not there.
If after doing all these things, you are found in disobedience to the revealed word of God which is able to save your soul, definitely you are going to be destroyed.
Obedience to the truth that is revealed in your day marks the confirmation of your salvation.
Gifts and calling of God are without repentance, but the call to eternal life is with repentance.
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. [Romans 11:29 KJV]
God can do everything for you, but can never guarantee the safety of your soul when you are living the life of disobedience. Brethren do we believe that?
Begin now to think about your life. Begin now to adduce reasons you will give as to why after having the knowledge of the truth, preaching the truth, dispensing even the spiritual gift of God to many, in the end, God will say, “Depart from Me for I do not know you.”
Let us know where the gifts.
1st Corinthians 12:1-13 (GNB) Now, concerning what you wrote about the gifts from the Holy Spirit. I want you to know the truth about them, my friends.
You know that while you were still heathen, you were led astray in many ways to the worship of lifeless idols.
I want you to know that no one who is led by God’s Spirit can say “A curse on Jesus!” and no one can confess “Jesus is Lord,” without being guided by the Holy Spirit.
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them. Pay attention. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts.
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them. There are different ways of serving, but the same Lord is served.
There are different abilities to perform service, but the same God gives ability to all for their particular service. The Spirit’s presence is shown in some way in each person for the good of all.
The Spirit gives one person a message full of wisdom, while to another person the same Spirit gives a message full of knowledge. One and the same Spirit gives faith to one person, while to another person he gives the power to heal.
The Spirit gives one person the power to work miracles; to another, the gift of speaking God’s message; and to yet another, the ability to tell the difference between gifts that come from the Spirit and those that do not.
To one person he gives the ability to speak in strange tongues, and to another he gives the ability to explain what is said. But it is one and the same Spirit who does all this; as he wishes, he gives a different gift to each person.
Christ is like a single body, which has many parts; it is still one body, even though it is made up of different parts.
In the same way, all of us, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free, have been baptized into the one body by the same Spirit, and we have all been given the one Spirit to drink.
If you go to Romans 13, it said if there be prophecy, it will cease. If there be tongue, it will cease. If there be gift of healing, it will cease. Whatever that gift might be, it will cease.
But there is only but one thing that will never cease and it is eternal. That is the Word. Love. When you love God, you will obey God. I hope I am making sense. So do not covet gifts that will cease.
Saint Paul said, all these things will cease. But if you want to covet, he said covet wisdom. And Christ is the wisdom of God which we preach. If there is anything you will covet, covet the Giver. Go after the Giver. When you get the Giver, He will come in with all those gifts.
But when you go after gifts, you can collect the gifts and reject the Giver. Is it not true? You can accept the gift and reject the Giver.
You can accept help from anybody but reject the same person. You are following him because of the help you are getting from him, but your heart has not accepted that person. If not for help, you will not come near him, and nothing will bring you under his roof.
So, one day, help will stop. Everything will stop. Everything will stop but the Helper remains there.
So, if you are wise, go for the Helper. Do not go for help. When you get the Helper, He will come with help. For help is His attribute.
If you go for the attribute and leave the Helper, you are just like one who is plucking a fruit from a tree instead of desiring to plant the tree.
If you are wise, plant pawpaw in your yard. With time, you will be harvesting pawpaw. You plant orange, with time, you will be harvesting orange.
But if you are only interested in buying or getting help, everyday, one fruit; He gave me one for free. Wherever he is going, you follow him because you want to get one. You are blind. One day, that gift will cease.
Are there gifts of tongue? They will cease. Prophecy? They will cease. Healing? They will cease because they are temporary.
That is why gifts of signs and wonders, these gifts are for unbelievers. They are meant for unbelievers.
The giver is the Word and the Word is Christ. Go for the Giver. Go for the Word. And when the Word dwells in you, all the attributes are in you.
Chapter 3 from verse 42: We sing in our song that we have surrendered our whole lives to Christ and to Christ alone.
That we surrendered even our intellect. We surrendered our talent:
SONG: “Take My life and let it be, consecrated Lord unto thee. Take My intellect, take My wisdom, take My everything.”
SONG: “I surrender, I surrender all. All to thee My blessed Saviour, I surrender all.”
Have we surrendered anything or are we merely singing the song because it sounds sweet in the ear? “Take My life and let it be, consecrated Lord to thee.”
We are merely singing the song composed by Wesley, but we do not have the revelation Wesley had for which cause God made him Angel Messenger of the church age.
We are singing those songs because we have them in our song book. We are singing because sometimes, they appear very sweet, but we do not read meaning into what we sing.
We do not read meaning into what we sing. It was the life testimony of Wesley, that he composed as song. What brought about a change in his life for the better, was that he surrendered his life holistically to God. He totally surrendered his intellect, his will and everything.
That is why Islam remains the only approved Faith by the Almighty God. Total submission to God. I am not saying Muslim; I am saying Islam. As it is with Christianity or the Christendom, so it is with Muslims.
But there is no fault with Islam. It is God’s own Faith. Abraham’s Faith. Isaac’s Faith. Jacob’s Faith. The Faith of the prophets. The Faith of Jesus Christ. Faith of the Apostles and that is the Faith of the Son of Man.
The essence of all these teachings is to cause us to be holistically submissive to God’s will.
The same way we submit to God’s will when we die, we should be submitting to God when we are alive. If you are submitting to God when you are dead, you have not submitted.
Assuming you were crooked and you die crooked, will your total submission because your body is lying prostrate, your body is lifeless – you cannot complain, you cannot murmur, nobody can be a drunk again, you cannot quarrel; then it is believed you have totally submitted to the will of God. That is how we should be submitting when we are alive.
Allow ourselves to be clay in the hand of God. Always go to the Message: LET US GO TO THE POTTER’S HOUSE. This is because clay in the hand of the potter does not complain, and does not murmur.
It does not even query the potter, “Why have you decided to make me this way? I will like to be this. I will like to be that.” Not the clay.
The potter has every right to do to the clay as he wishes. Is it not true? Why? The clay had totally submitted everything into the hand of the potter.
The same way, a child possesses child-like faith. A child’s faith is hanging on the mother, believing that the mother will not do the child any harm.
In the hand of the mother, the child feels very much secure, come what may. Did you get it?
Yet, God said it that it is possible for the woman to forsake her suckling baby, but the Almighty God cannot forsake His own.
[15][And the Lord answered] Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you. [Isaiah 49:15 AMP]
If it is possible for the course of a river to be reversed, let it be known to you that one day I will forsake My own. But if it is impossible, it is impossible for the elect to be lost.
For God must go for the Lost Sheep of Israel. No matter where that sheep is found, He will bring him back. Do not worry, as we continue in this teaching, you will know where it will land.
Chapter 3 verse 48: Any wife that disposes herself in the form of saying “Amen” and “Oh yes” to the husband has an easy ride. She does not experience any difficulty in life.
True or false? That is the relationship between Christ and the church. If you are an Elect of God, you will echo “Amen” to every Word of God, and that settles it.
When God speaks, it is final. Your opinion ceases. And you get a pleasurable ride, for God will not lead you into error, neither will He deceive you.
You have your opinion because you feel God will deceive you. You feel He is not telling you the truth or that you know better. That is why your opinion will try to hold.
Will you allow me to say something? Let me air my own opinion. Wait, let me say something. Can I defend myself? Defend yourself immediately! Will you allow me to say something? Say it!
Any woman that is found in obedience to the husband, she takes all that the husband possesses. The husband can even go borrowing to make sure he satisfies the needs of that humble, meek, obedient and lovely wife. …..
From verse 53: A man and the wife, who mellows the heart of the other? It takes the woman to mellow the heart of the man because a man by nature is born with quick temper.
Hear Me very well. Obedience to the truth mellows the heart of God. I say, obedience to the truth mellows down the heart of God.
So do not be surprised that a man is born with quick temper. Yet, patience is needed. Am I making sense? Do you know it was the quick temper that was in God He transferred into Adam, the first man?
It was quick temper that made God never to give them second chance in the Garden of Eden. No second chance. I hope I am making sense?
Does a man set his house on fire because of the provocation from a rat? Amen.
Can you imagine? A young man who was hungry, who went to the field to take food on a Sabbath day just to pluck corn.
They went to Moses. Moses said “Let me enquire of the Lord on what we shall do, seeing that he was terribly hungry and only went to pluck the corn he will eat, not the one he will use for merchandise.”
He enquired of the Lord, the Lord said “stone him to death.” Stone him to death. The condition under which he was forced to pluck the corn notwithstanding. That was why the Lord Jesus came and cancelled the Sabbath, by walking into the same Sabbath.
Sabbath law. On a Sabbath day he went to corn field, plucked corn, ate it. Nobody atoned him for that. When he was queried, he said the Sabbath was meant for men and not man for the Sabbath.
“Which one is easier? To allow somebody to die while observing Sabbath or to save life on the Sabbath day?” The people said, “to save life.” He said, “that is all.” Has he not corrected it? He has corrected it.
Chapter 4 from verse 8: Anybody that is cleverly deceiving you into disobeying the word of salvation that is coming to you in your day, is one of those false prophets that are operating among us. I do not doubt the presence of such false prophets and prophetesses.
This group of people are found among brothers and sisters who cleverly enter people’s homes, cleverly meet them in their business sites and bias their minds against the truth which they are hearing from the mouth of THE SON OF MAN, messages they have seen God confirm in diverse ways with signs and wonders.
These false prophets and prophetesses that fly from one corner to another, oftentimes, they use their GSM handsets to call their victims;
[They] use handsets to pass across their own messages contrary to the ones they have received from God, thereby bringing untold damnation both to themselves and to their hearers. The likes of Solomon Odikanwa.
THE MOMENT YOU ARE POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL AND YOU ARE UPSET, ALL THAT ARE ENTRUSTED TO YOUR CARE WILL BE SUFFERING. ALL WORKING TOOLS, YOUR WORK AND EVERYTHING WILL BE AFFECTED. THEY WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.YOUR PERFORMANCE IS AFFECTED. IS IT NOT TRUE? THE MOMENT YOUR ERFORMANCE IS NO LONGER WHAT IT OUGHT TO BE OR WHAT IT USED TO BE, HAS IT NOT BEEN AFFECTED? THOSE WHO SHOULD BE BENEFITING FROM YOUR PERFORMANCE, HAVE THEY NOT BEEN AFFECTED? THAT IS WHY IT HAS A CHAIN EFFECT. A CHAIN EFFECT.

DO NOT ALLOW THE DEVIL TO QUARANTINE YOU
FEARGOD EXCLUSIVE; PREACHED ON 7th December 2014; Chapter 5 from verse 1: Fear God! If you are numbered among this group that has crossed the divide, you are waiting for the impending wrath of God.
This is the group that is in the region of the lost because they have hardened their hearts against the truth for too long, walking after the imagination of their own hearts and having their ways in everything.
If you are on your way to committing this type of heinous crime against the body of Christ, against God [and] against yourself, refrain from it now! Now!
Retrace your steps immediately. I say, retract! I say what? Retract immediately! Do not waste time.
If the devil has been trying to tempt your heart away from this awesome truth, I say retrace your steps.
As I thought on my ways, I ran back to Him. If you have crossed, I do not know what to tell you than to say, “Well, to God be the glory.”
As I thought on my ways, I ran back.
If you have crossed, I do not know what to tell you than to say, well, to God be the glory. Whatever you see, take. If you have not crossed, but you are being tempted to cross, turn back.
That route is impenetrable. There is no road there. Chiemelie, are you listening? Read it again.
If you have not crossed, but you are being tempted to cross, turn back. There is no road there. If there is nothing tempting you to ever lift up your head here against the truth, feel free and remain steadfast, immovable [and] unshakeable.
Can God bypass His Word? Moreso, when it is being confirmed by THE SON OF MAN? The Cloud is in the Camp.
Jude verses 5 through 6. “I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate…”
Can somebody pay heed to the devil’s suggestions in his heart? When you go to bed, you are not alone; you are either with God and His angels, or with the devil and his own angels. They are all ministering spirits, bringing diverse ministrations to you and suggestions.
How do you know where you belong to? Any side you have taken when you wake up from bed, that will tell you the teachers you welcomed.
This is because the suggestions you welcomed will change your attitude. If it is God, you will change for the better, showing that you had a better experience.
If it is a very bad character unseen in you before, it goes to show that you had a very serious encounter; Then you hear will be overcharged, and all your utterances will be Hi-tech Hi-tech! No low-tech! No no no! I don’t want. I don’t want!
Do not allow the devil to quarantine you. When the devil quarantines you, you are doomed.
Saint Paul was troubled by the devil, but the secret of his survival lied in shouting. He opened up, “Who will save him from his calamity? “Brethren, I am done o! When I try to do good, I do evil o! I do not know what is happening o Brethren please help o!”
He did not suppress it. He shouted! “Somebody is gone o! Who will save me?”
That is why God said, do not die in silence. Speak! Shout! God will show you favour when He hears you cry.
If the devil quarantines you, he shuts your mouth and shuts your heart. And then slows down your pace. He slows down your movement. Your movement becomes sluggish.
And then, how do you know it is the devil? He will not allow you to look up again. You will be looking down. Sometimes, you stumble on and hit the doors in the afternoon. You stumble and hit your head on the pillar because the thoughts of the heart alone can blind someone.
Chapter 5 from verse 72: Whatever God does is everlasting. Nothing can be added and nothing can be subtracted, for He is the everlasting God and does everlasting things.
It is better for you to be in an everlasting garrison in the hand of God. Garrisoned in the hand of God for good, for free, where He preserves His jewels.
Chapter 5 from verse 82: “And I remind you of those angels who were once pure and holy, but turned to a life of sin. Now, God has them chained up in prisons of darkness, waiting for the judgement day.
And don’t forget to city of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns, all full of lusts of every kinds, including lusts of men for other men.
Those cities were destroyed by fire, and continue to be a warning to us, that there is a hell in which sinners are punished.”
Sure! There is a hell in which sinners are punished. God said that hell exists. And the devil is telling you that it does not exist. Take the one you want.
Chapter 5 from verse 85: They serve as a warning to us that there is a hell in which sinners are going to be punished. If God says there is hell, who will say hell does not exist?
If God says that sinners will be punished, who is that heretic teacher that will come tomorrow to tell you that whatever you are doing, you will go scot-free?
Evil doers are everywhere, there are also good people. People that fear and honour the Lord, but they are in the minority.
Evil doers are everywhere and they flood themselves in the churches.
This one is not insulated from it. There are too many evil doers in our midst, there are spies in our midst. There is no type of person that is not found in this Bridal Faith.
Thus do not ever go about bragging, saying that you have arrived. Criminals are of greater majority is in our midst.
Do they know the truth? Yes. Do they preach it? Yes. But watch where they are going to end it.
Why must it be me? Why must it be you? Chika, this is the way your father is.
THE ETERNAL DESTINY OF ALL UNBELIEVERS IS HELL. NOTHING CAN CHANGE IT.
I have been avoiding this Message lest many will begin to obey God because of fear of hell. And I kept it secret.
Sin is pleasure to any man that is destitute of the truth. Sin is unbelief to the Word of God. [Sin means] Hearing the Word of God just for hearing sake.
He that will, after hearing the Word of God, feels angry and provoked, even desiring to fight, did he believe it? Is he among what we are doing? He rejected it.
The Bible said in the Acts of the Apostles, that those that gladly received the Word of God were saved.
[41]Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. …… [47]praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. [Acts 2:41, 47 KJV]
The way you received the Word of God determines the way you will put it into practice.
If you receive it grudgingly, grudgingly also, you will be obeying. “I think the Son of Man said that it is what we will be doing. Let us do it, and let us see whether there will be peace.”
Some will not even call Him “Son of Man”, they will call Him “Minister.” “I think you people say that your Faith said it must be this way. Let us do it and see whether we will have peace.” They are all in this Faith.
There is no category of person that I mentioned that is not on this Faith. Amen.
Sure! Both male and female, even children. Everyone should now ask him or herself, “Am I the one?” Judas is in this Faith. There is nothing that is not in the Faith. Jezebel is in this Faith.
Chapter 6 from verse 10: 2 Peter 2:20 – 22 LB And when a person has escaped from the wicked ways of the world, by learning about our Lord Saviour, Jesus Christ, and then gets angled up with sin and becomes its slave again, he is worse off than he was before.
Second captivity. Beware of second captivity in the hand of the devil.
“It would be better if he had never known about Christ before, than to learn of Him and turn his back on the Holy commandments that were given to him.
What separates us from the Almighty God emanates from our hearts. What endears us to God comes also from our hearts. That is why God is looking for a man or a woman with an upright heart. Once you are having an upright heart [i.e. your heart has been purged of all forms of evils] because every evil is fomented in the heart, when your heart has been circumcised, cleansed and nothing is dwelling there but the Word of God, which is the Spirit of Christ, that is the only thing that places you in right standing with God.
THE IMPACT OF THE WORD OF GOD IN OUR HEART (2020 NEW YEAR MESSAGE PG. 15:2-3

OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS OUR ENTRY INTO PARADISE
FEARGOD EXCLUSIVE; Preached on 7 December 2014; Chapter 6 from verse 31: Once it gets to money, you will prefer your carnal brothers. Balaam’s spirit. Emeka Enugu.
Too many Balaams in our midst! The Cloud is in the Camp. I can never handle the truth in the way of teaching without the Cloud staying in your midst vindicating that I am representing His interest, [and] that I am showing you [the] awful implications before the fire falls; so that you will know your destiny.
On that day, nobody will call the Son of Man a wicked man, for He will reward you according to your deeds, finish.
But when it comes to making money, Brethren can hardly have limitations. The whole world as an opportunity to make money around now belongs to them, as if money is the end of everything. No! Go back to the Message!
The love of money is the root of all evils.
2 Corinthians chapter 4 verses 1 through 5. “Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty. Not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully.
Not walking in what? Craftiness! This is because the craftiest being is the devil. So, whoever that is walking in craftiness is a child of the devil. Such a fellow is a crafty person.
One that is living a life of craftiness and racking of sense is the person not living in sin? Yes! He is living with adult sense? The person knows what he is supposed to do, but wants to do that which will favour himself. It is the same with a greedy fellow.
2 Corinthians chapter 6 verses 1 through 10. We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; Behold, now is the accepted time.
Behold, now is the day of salvation. Giving no offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed…”
Giving no offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed. This is the much I will tell you today. Next time, we shall continue from where we stopped. To God be the glory.
You will not be expecting new things every day. God said we should not be negligent, putting ourselves in remembrance of all these truths so that we will constantly be established in the present truth.
This Message is standing the test of time, for every word of God has no expiry date. It is effective, always alive and active in the hearts of true believers.
Even if you are fake, it will condemn you more and more, for the more you are being exposed and you harden your heart, the nearer you are to hell.
Believing God brings you closer to Paradise. Obeying His word is your entry into Paradise. BelieVING draws you nearer to the gate of Paradise, while obedience pushes you into Paradise.
Unbelief throws you away from the gate. You will not come near to the gate. Unbelief drives people too far away from God.
Even among us, too many people keep a wide distance from THE SON OF MAN. From month to month, you can never see them here.
They do not come near My gate because they do not want their evil to be exposed. They are taking delight in whatever they are doing with people in the world out there.
I was talking to Mode the other day over the phone, I said, “Listen to Me. Of all your friends, only one remains and that is Shed Onah. All of you that drank together before Onyema died, only Shed is alive. Johnson is dead, Onyema is dead. Mode, you and Shed.”
We are watching. We are waiting to know who will be the next. But Shed said he is the one, and that he does not want to live again. He said that he does not want people to die in his compound, and that he wants to die for all. So, he has volunteered to die.
We are waiting. Any day he dies, his people will carry him and bury, unless he has changed his mind. But has he changed? If he has changed, we would have been seeing him at the gate. He would be coming with others.
Have we been seeing him here? Who? Shed? Here yesterday? You see, God did not want Me to see him and I was upstairs, lying down.
So, what am I saying? That does not mean that coming here will give you salvation. Coming here in unbelief will harden your heart more and more.
The more you are living in unbelief and eating and drinking with the Brethren, the more the devil is sealing your heart with condemnation, because you eat to your condemnation.
WHATEVER AN UNGODLY MAN IS ENJOYING IN THE HANDS OF RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE IS HIS CONDEMNATION.
Whatever you are eating and drinking in the midst of righteous people, while you are filled with unbelief, you are bringing condemnation upon yourself. True or false?
That is the condemnation. You want to enjoy the fruits of righteousness when you are living a wicked life.
THE SAME WAY, A RIGHTEOUS MAN SHOULD NOT DESIRE TO BE UNRIGHTEOUS AND SHOULD NOT DESIRE THE FRUITS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
WHEN YOU TURN YOUR BACK AGAINST ANYTHING EVIL, DO NOT LOOK BACK AGAIN. DO NOT LOOK BACK AGAIN, BECAUSE THE MOMENT YOU DRAG YOUR FEET, THE SAME THING WILL OVERTAKE YOU, FOR IT IS STILL PURSUING YOU.
If the people of Israel had halted along the way, Pharaoh and his army would have overtaken them. They did not stop anywhere. They did not look back.
That was why Pharaoh and his army never met them. Though they were pursuing them with chariots, they could not meet the people that were trekking for God placed the wheel on their wheels.
And they crossed, for they were mindful of where they were heading to. They were not looking back.
So, when you say you have repented and following God and you are still having your eyes behind, you are a mocker.
You cannot hold the plough, a harrower and you begin to look back, when you should check where you are going.
You will fall into a ditch, because the caterpillar will carry you to where you are not going. So, that is what is happening.
This race is forward ever, backward never. We invite our Pastor to come and dismiss us.
