FIND OUT WHAT WILL HINDER YOU FROM GETTING ETERNAL LIFE AND COMPLETELY AVOID THEM VOL.2 PREACHED BY EVANG. BEN. OKEZUE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD, OBOSIMA ON 7TH APRIL, 2020
SO, IF YOU CANNOT LIVE THE LIFE OF THE GOSPEL YOU ARE PREACHING, YOU HAVE NULLIFIED EVERYTHING AND YOU HAVE PUT PEG TO YOUR ETERNAL RACE. IT THEN MEANS YOU ARE NUMBERED AMONG THOSE WHO WILL HELP PEOPLE TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, AND THEY THEMSELVES WILL NOT ENTER. ANYBODY WHO IS PREACHING THE GOSPEL WITHOUT TAKING HEED TO HIS OWN LIFE, MAKING SURE THAT HIS LIFE AND HIS GOSPEL ARE ONE, IS FULFILLING A DANGEROUS SCRIPTURE
IS YOUR LIFE WORTHY OF THE MESSAGE YOU ARE PREACHING? PREACHED ON TUESDAY 7TH APRIL, 2020. Pg. 24 vs. 4-6
1
YOU MUST MANIFEST THE LIFE OF CHRIST
Let us also hear what the Son of Man said about that erroneous belief that the grace of God that bringeth salvation has empowered you to behave anyhow and be saved anyhow.
Follow me to the message “God’s Nature is your ticket to paradise Page 104 vs 20 –21” WHY AM I STAKING MY LIFE TALKING TO YOU? WHY DID GOD SEND ME IN THIS GENERATION?
IF YOU COULD BE SAVED ANYHOW, WHY SENDING CHRIST? IF IMMORTALITY CAN BE GIVEN TO YOU EVEN IN YOUR SINFUL CONDITION, OF WHAT USE IS THE WORD OF GOD? IF CHRIST’S DEATH ON CALVARY WAS ALL AND ALL, WHY ARE WE GATHERING IN THE FELLOWSHIP?
WHY ARE WE MENTIONING SIN? (UNBELIEF AND UNGODLINESS AMONG US). THAT COULD HAVE DONE EVERYTHING.
ONLY A SEED OF GOD WILL UNDERSTAND ME, THE REST WILL NOT, IF I DRIVE THE MESSAGE HOME, FIND OUT WHETHER YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO THE KINGDOM OR YOU ARE STILL SLEEPING.
ONLY PERFECT LOVE IS FOUND THERE, AND I WANT TO ADDRESS IT FROM ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE. WE HAVE ROLLED INTO THE PERIOD OF TESTING, TRIALS AND DIVERSE TEMPTATIONS”.
Brethren, from the revealed word of God in our day, it is evidently clear that, anyone who claims to belong to the faith of the Son of Man should as a MUST manifest the LIFE OF CHRIST and become THE WORD MADE FLESH even as the Son of Man is.
Whatever anyone believes reflects and manifests in his or her life. The mind of God is revealed, His wrath is also revealed against those who think, preach, teach, or believe that one who is not completely changed by the Word of God will inherit the Kingdom of heaven, be translated, or have eternal life without having God’s nature.
Having heard this truth, what shall we do then to avoid missing this great promise of Eternal Life? We should really remove completely any falsehood in our lives. Submit our lives unto the cleansing work of God made manifest in our day.
The devil can do anything but cannot live the life of Christ; living the life of Christ is the essence of the Gospel. Saint Paul in His day said in (Romans 1:16) for I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ.
It is God’s powerful method of bringing all who believe it to heaven. This message was preached first to the Jews alone, but now everyone is invited to come to God in this same way LB.
That “he is not ashamed of the gospel for it holds the power of God’s salvation”. How do saved people behave? This will help us to understand the truth using our personal experiences in Christ work of salvation.
When somebody, truly believe in Christ, he or she is indeed a new creature for old things have passed away. The Kingdom has a life and that is the life of Christ alone.
Anyone who fails to inquire, investigate or find out what it really takes to be qualified for anything he or she is aspiring to get is a joker, never serious and is walking in real blindness.
When the Word of God comes to an elect and a true child of God, the word will reprove him or her of sin, provide a way out, which is Christ revealed in the age the person is living in.
THE WORD REVEALS WHO THE GOD OF THAT DAY IS, OPEN THE EYES OF THE PERSON’S UNDERSTANDING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD REQUIRES OF HIM OR HER TO BE QUALIFIED FOR ETERNAL LIFE.
WITH THE HELP OF THE SAME GOD, THE PERSON’S LIFE WILL CHANGE AS A SIGN THAT THE PERSON’S FAITH IS ACCEPTED OF GOD.
We have really established God’s promise of eternal life as an unfailing truth using the scriptures as confirmed by the spoken word from the Son of Man Himself.
Let us therefore consider those things that have always been a hindrance and reasons why people miss God’s Salvation in all the ages.
It has always been the same thing in all the ages and children of God have always escaped through God’s provision for Salvation through the revealed Christ of their generations.
Let us hear the voice of the Son of Man on this very important matter from “God’s nature is your ticket to paradise Page 119 Vs 62 – 63”. What will stop God from clothing you with immortal life is in your heart, not your head.
What will stop God from clothing you with immortal life is not in your dress but it is in your heart. Every form of ungodliness emanates from the heart what will disqualify us comes from the hearts.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Note always, the mouth can remain sealed and the heart continue to die, suffocate, before you know it, the body will become violent, the mouth sealed, the eyes are red, and the body is tensed and violent. That is the worst estate.
Also, the message “Condition for being saved in Christ” preached by (Apostle Peter Odoemena), the Son of Man on 16th January, 2001 revealed what will hinder somebody; Page 65 vs 17-18 “There was a prophecy we heard here saying, Stop stubbornness; stop rebellion, for I hate rebellion; I hate stubbornness; if you must live with me eternally, look at what you must do.
Did He say, He will bring stubborn and rebellious ones along? I mean we heard Audible Voice here on the matter”.
Note; Evil heart that rejects the Truth; Rebellion and stubbornness are things that hinder people from getting eternal life so let us make sure we avoid them completely.
UNBELIEF IS THE KEY REASON WHY PEOPLE MISS ETERNAL LIFE. Sin means unbelief- all unrighteousness and wickedness emanates from the evil heart of unbelief. Let us confirm from the Holy Scriptures and even the Holy Quran.
Let us start with the Holy Quran, the book of SURAH 2 vs 161-162 – “Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the curse of Allah and of the angels and of mankind, combined. They will abide therein forever (Under the curse in Hell), their punishment will neither be lightened, nor will they be reprieved”.
See where God (Allah) accuses unbelievers – SURAH 3 vs 55 – 56 “And (Remember)” when Allah said; “Isa (Jesus)”! I will make you sleep and raise you to myself and clear you (of the forged statement that Isa (Jesus) is Allah’s son) of those who disbelieve and I will make those who follow you (Monotheists, who worship none but Allah) Superior to those who disbelieve (In the Oneness of Allah, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, E.g. Muhammad, Isa (Jesus) Musa (Moses), etc, or in His Holy Books… E.g. Torah, Gospel…till the Day of Resurrection.
Then you will return to me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you use to dispute. “As to those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world, and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers”.
SURAH 4 vs. 56 “Surely! Those who disbelieved in our (Proofs, Evidences, Verses, Lessons, Signs, and Revelations etc.)”, we shall burn them in fire. As often as their skins are roasted through, we shall change them for other skins that they may taste the punishment. Truly, Allah is Ever Most Powerful, All-Wise”
The same Chapter 4 verse 150 – 152 “Verily, those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers and wish to make distinction between Allah and His Messengers (By believing in Allah and disbelieving in His Messengers)” saying, “We believe in some but reject others,” and wish to adopt a way in between. They are in truth disbelievers. And we have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating torment. And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers and make no distinction between any of them (Messengers), we shall give them their rewards; and Allah is Ever Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful”.
It has become very clear that anyone who refuses to believe one who God sent in His Name as His personal representative is a sinner in the sight of God and therefore has no part in God’s promised salvation in Paradise. Again, people err while trying to separate God from His Messenger.
THE TRUTH IS THAT, GOD IS A MAN AND EVERY SEARCH FOR GOD ENDS IN REVEALING A MAN. This is indeed the greatest stumbling block in all the ages and the main reason for unbelief. This is caused by spiritual blindness, religion, I mean inherited religion.

UNBELIEF IS SIN
L
et us consider what the Holy Scriptures said about unbelief. St. John. 8:24 – “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye believe not that I am he; ye shall die in your sins” KJV.
St. John 3:14 – 21 but let us consider verse 18 – 19 “He that believeth on him is not condemned but he that Believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” KJV
St. John 5:24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my Word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come unto condemnation; but is passed from death unto life”. KJV
St. John. 8:42-47 “Jesus said to them, If God really were your father, you would love me, because I came from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own authority but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message. You are the children of your father, the devil, and you want to follow your father’s desire. From the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies. But I tell the truth, and that is why you do not believe me. Which one of you can prove that I am guilty of sin? If I tell the truth, then why do you not believe me? He who comes from God listens to God’s Words. You however are not from God, and that is why you will not listen” – GNB.
John 16:7-9 “Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. AND WHEN HE WILL COME, HE WILL REPROVE THE WORLD OF SIN, AND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND OF JUDGMENT. OF SIN, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE NOT ON ME, KJV. Is there any other doubt that SIN IS UNBELIEF?
Hebrews 3:14-19, “For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as we did when we first became Christians, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. But now is the time. Never forget the warning, “Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against him in the desert. And who were those people I speak of, who heard God’s voice speaking to them but then rebelled against him? They were the ones who came out of Egypt with Moses their leader. And who was it who made God angry for all those forty years? These same people who sinned and as a result died in the wilderness. And to whom was God speaking when he swore with an oath that they could never go into the land he had promised his people? He was speaking to all those who disobeyed him. And why couldn’t they go in? Because they didn’t trust him.” LB
He really made it clear why many people could not make it to the promised land under Moses leadership. Let’s consider verse 19- “So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief” KJV.
Hebrews 4:1- “Now, God has offered us the promised that we may receive that rest He spoke about Let’s us take care, then, that none of you will be found to have failed to receive that promised rest”. G.N.B
The Scripture pointed out clearly that the major problem that hinders people from walking with God, believing and obeying Him even obtaining His promises is UNBELIEF.
Remember also that doubt is the very visible manifestation of unbelief followed by reasoning which is caused by man’s inability to Zero his intellect, and submit to God’s word in its entirety. But why the Unbelief even when God has evidently vindicated Himself, His word and His Chosen Vessel in every generation? Anyway, only those that are ordained to eternal life will believe God in their day.
God has always positionally placed His elect to not only witness but be part of what He is doing through his vessel in every age. It also fulfilled in this our own day. The problem has been “WHY ARE YOU A MAN BUT MAKE YOURSELF GOD?”
St. John 10:33:- They replied, “Not for any good work, but for blasphemy; you, a mere man, have declared yourself to be God.” LB
St. John 5:16-18 “So they began harassing Jesus as a Sabbath breaker. But Jesus replied, “My Father constantly does good, and I’m following his example.”
Then the Jewish leaders were all the more eager to kill him because in addition to disobeying their Sabbath laws, he had spoken of God as his Father, thereby making himself equal with God LB”.
Another reason for unbelief is over familiarity. Looking at the vessel God is using from the human perspective. This means Walking by sight not by faith which is revelation.
Every living human being must be traced to a family, have a father, mother, sister, brother and relations; he must come out from a kindred, Village, town or community, Local Government Area, State and Nation.
All the prophets, Apostles, name them; all had these identities. Those that married and had children did so that they can show exactly how marriage should be.
The Son of Man revealed in our day in the person of (Apostle Peter Odoemena) blessed be His Holy Name! Married and had children and through his family we have seen and experienced what a perfect, Godly and Understanding Family of God is and what it should be. He married to teach and manifest what a perfect family of God should be.
It is also worthy to note that through His family, the Entire Human race is blessed, just like the family of Abraham the Father of our Faith.
So, if you don’t believe, because He is a human being from a family here on earth, has His own family, be it known unto you that you never believed God or any of His Prophets or messengers even the Lord Jesus Christ because he was born to king David Family according to the scriptures.
Romans 1:3 “It is the Good News about his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who came as a human baby, born into King David’s royal family line LB.” Why was Jesus the Christ in His Day Called Son of Joseph and Mary? Why was he called Jesus Christ of Nazareth?
This is really spiritual blindness and nobody is saved in Unbelief. Who then will save you when you have rejected Christ, God man, and the only savior of mankind? Therefore make sure you overcome this deadly virus called Unbelief? The scripture made it clear that those who do not believe God in human flesh are Antichrist.
St. John 4:1-3 When the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard about the greater crowds coming to him than to John to be baptized and to become his disciples—(though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them, but his disciples did)—He left Judea and returned to the province of Galilee LB.
1st John 2:22-23 “And who is the greatest liar? The one who says that Jesus is not Christ, such a person is an antichrist, for he does not believe in God the Father and in his Son.
23 For a person who doesn’t believe in Christ, God’s Son, can’t have God the Father either. But he who has Christ, God’s Son, has God the Father also LB.
The Good Shepherd, the Lord Himself, the Son of Man is the giver of eternal life as we read in the scriptures John 10:27 – 30 “My sheep recognize my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
28 I give them eternal life and they shall never perish. No one shall snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else, so no one can kidnap them from me. 30 I and the Father are one” LB.
“My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish; neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My father, which gave them, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my father’s hand. I and my father are one ‘‘ KJV.
Let us confirm this scripture with the voice of the Good Shepherd in our day, the Son of Man in some of His Messages. “WE ARE WAITING FOR TIME, PAGE 104 VERSE 50 – 52, PREACHED 30TH OCTOBER, 2011, BY (APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE SON OF MAN)”
“Now, you have seen the Pillar of Cloud again. There is hope for the dead, the dry bones in the valley have started making movements; that the cloud has appeared again. I AM HE THAT MOVED IN THE MIDST OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS. I HAVE COME TO WIND UP THE HISTORY OF THE FAITH IN CHRIST. BELIEVE IN GOD, RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD, PUTTING ON IMMORTALITY, DWELLING WITH GOD ETERNALLY, IN ME ETERNITY IS REVEALED” AMEN.
In the same message, “WE ARE WAITING FOR TIME, PAGE 93 VERSE 22-25, PREACHED 30TH OCTOBER, 2011, BY (APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE SON OF MAN)” “Note it, you are Sons of Men but He is the Son of Man, that settled the matter. All controversies have been settled. You see why the Son of Man does not listen to any person, He does not dispute with any flesh, whatever you need, take it and go.
However, if you are intelligent you will always follow Him for one thing, which is eternal life. If money is your problem, do not worry, take and go, by and by you will perish with money.
If you are wise, eternal life should be your watch word. When you know this truth, happy are you. You are following Him because of marriage, you will marry but you must perish with marriage.
However, ETERNAL LIFE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. That is why God said that in everything you should lay hold on ETERNAL LIFE. Do not bother yourself on the Earthly bread which you will eat and perish with, but concern yourself with the bread which the Son of Man shall give, which is ETERNAL LIFE for which cause HE IS SENT”.
Also, from the message “THE YEAR OF JUDGMENT OF THE BRIDE (NEW YEAR MESSAGE” 2018 PREACHED 2ND JANUARY 2018 BY THE SON OF MAN) PG. 25 VS 8-11, PG 28 VS 17-19.
“All evil doers must smell hell this year. Whatever evil he will commit must be exposed by God. Even the evil thoughts of his heart, God must expose all, because God is bound to reduce the multitude.
This year is the year of manifestation of the true sons and daughters of God who will worship God in spirit and in truth. Eyes will see how little they are.
As many of them that are in the church that are in their families following their parents, following the Son of Man because it is said that the dog follows a pot-bellied man because the man must defecate or vomit and in each case, it is to the dog’s advantage.
As many of them that are following the Son of Man NOT FOR ETERNAL LIFE, they will all get their doom this year, both male and female, including infants.
“I am not here to plead with you neither am I here to threaten you. I just want to give you the highlights of what it looks like. If you know that thing in you which has hindered and blocked the word of God from settling in you, it is that thing that has removed you from the presence of God that has removed you from the Salvation of God.
If you know that thing in you that makes it impossible for the Word of God to have a resting place in your heart, that thing has made you a pagan in the midst of the worshippers.
I am not telling you to be afraid or not to be afraid. Whether you believe it or not, judgment is here at last. It has been long the judgment was foretold, God preparing it, emphasizing on the need for faithfulness and righteousness all these years.
The last lap is judgment of the whole earth and isles will see the end of the whole thing”.
Let us go to the message “SEEING WE HAVE THIS GREAT PROMISE, WE FAINT NOT” (PREACHED 2ND NOVEMBER 2016 BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE SON OF MAN) PG 50 VS 9-15.
“Do not lose the sight of one fact: These things are temporal. These things are material. These things have no lasting value. They can never offer you eternal Life. Even if you own this whole world, Eternal life is not attached to it.
When God spoke to us concerning the hour, He told us and reminded us that we should be very, very careful the way we go about pursuing material possessions. There is no amount of material possession you will acquire that will replace Eternal Life.
Going by the way we are highlighting these things I can see a situation where we are driven away from our focus. We have a focus. Any day your eyes, your minds, your hearts, any day any of them is taken away from your focus totally, you are going to be totally lost”.
Remember that Jesus saw these things before He asked the question, “What shall it profit a man if he will gain the whole world and loose his life”.
Bear it in mind the way we are highlighting all these things, if you are not intelligent you may use Material Possession, crave for materialism to replace Salvation, replace Eternal Life.
You will come to a point where you will begin to think that Eternal Life is non-existent, then you are doomed till eternity. This is why from time to time; it is of a necessity that you call yourself to order”.
From the message “FORGET NOT THE PROMISE OF THE HOUR” PREACHED 21ST MARCH, 2015, BY (APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA), THE SON OF MAN, PAGE 38:11 – 13
“God never removed anybody but people removed themselves by their own hands and what removed them was what was happening in their hearts; hence their hearts were enticed and drawn away.
What remain was their empty self, just like all in the faith are shouting: Son of Man, Son of Man, “But only few are in Christ. It is hard to believe what I am saying. But a day will declare it.
It is not that day you are thinking of, for it shall be one day known unto the Lord and that day is around us”. Amen!
YOUR OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD MUST BE FULFILLED. THEN, YOU WILL GET THE PROMISE. YOU CANNOT GET THE PROMISE BEFORE FULFILLING YOUR OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD. I AM SAYING THAT ETERNAL LIFE IS A REWARD FOR YOUR COMPLETE OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH REVEALED TO YOU BY GOD THROUGH HIS APPOINTED MESSENGER IN YOUR OWN DAY.

THE GIVER OF ETERNAL LIFE
(THE SON OF MAN)
CHRIST NATURE IS YOUR ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE (POSSES YOUR VESSEL IN HONOUR OR IN DISHONOR) PREACHED 27TH DECEMBER, 2016 BY (APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE SON OF MAN)” PAGES 21 VERSE 19, PAGE 40 VS 22 – 28, PAGE 44 VS 33 – 40
“THERE IS NOTHING THAT GIVES ME JOY MORE THAN THIS: THAT WHOEVER THAT IS CONNECTED TO HIM HAS THAT ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE BECAUSE HE IS NOW A PART OF THAT BIG FAMILY OF ABRAHAM, FAITH HAS CO-OPTED HIM INTO THE FAMILY. THAT IS WHY WE GLORIFY GOD EVERY DAY”
The family of the Son of Man represents this great family of Abraham in our day. We must get connected to the family of the Son of Man for us to be sure of Eternal Life.
The upper room ministry is for the saved. The ministry of the church is for the whole world. Parables are for the world, plain language is for the children of the kingdom.
If you believe it that, because you have believed you can be whatever you want to be, behave the way you want to behave – after all you are not a material for hell fire – you are already lost. For you do not know the secret of being in paradise more than He that came from paradise. He that constructed paradise, He saw the way the people were jubilating, He came out to tell them that naked truth.
Note the naked truth, He told them clearly to note what happened in the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah. They built, they married and were given in marriage, some that were not married and were not given in marriage were troubled over it, commercial activity in its peak, every kind of evil bedeviled the two ages, people went about with life as usual, crave for materialism was in its peak to the neglect of God’s word.
Only those that were conscious of the hour, conscious of the promise were everyday preparing themselves by doing all those things others were doing in the fear of God, believing that anything could unfold.
The Bible said they (Others) gave themselves holistically over to their normal everyday activities putting God behind and that day came upon them unawares.
They could not escape except the righteous Noah. What made him righteous? The Bible said he walked with God. Because he walked with God, he became the wisest man that raised the wisest family that obeyed God.
He became the only family that towed the footsteps of Abraham. That was the only family where the faith of Abraham was upheld. He never paid lip service to it; he was serious with his family.
Page 44 vs 33 “The book of Romans says if one that is not a Jew obeys the Word of God it will be his own righteousness. God will consider him saved and destroy a Jew who brags about that because he is a Jew he will no longer take the word of God seriously.
Thus, you are not a Jew because you are born in Israel, circumcised on the 8th day, had Abraham as your father or grandfather whatever you may call him, but you are a Jew in the sense that you honour and fear God.
You see what makes you a Jew. Then Salvation is for the Jews. That is why in every nation whosoever that feareth and honoureth the Lord, the same is made acceptable unto him. Is it not true? The Bible said; the same is the word of God sent and, the same is made acceptable unto God.
Thus, you are not made acceptable unto God because you are in the family of the Son of Man. If you become a stubborn fellow in my family, a disobedient fellow in my family, a disobedient fellow in the church, automatically you have made yourself worthless; unprofitable in all things you have declared yourself a sinner.
Nobody is saved because of his birthright. This is why you must live the life of obedience to the truth. You must live your live in conformity with the doctrines of Christ which has come to you in your own day. In there is your Salvation; in there is your peace; in there is your success; in there is your wisdom, your knowledge, your understanding, your prosperity, your everything you are looking for.
But reject Him, reject the message, treat it with contempt, you are doing it to your own regret. For by and by you must regret it in the end. That’s why we encourage you to be serious with the message you have heard. Pay heed to the message.
Let your character reflect the message. If your character is not worthy of the messages you have received so far, let it be known to you that you are a counterfeit who is likely to be disqualified, disapproved and rejected on trial in the end.
From the message “JEHOVAH IS RIGHT BUT I AND MY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WRONG ALL ALONG VOL 2 PREACHED BY THE SON OF MAN (APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA)” ON 18TH JANUARY, 2020 PAGE 47 VERSE 25 – 26”
“Who are your Brethren? Who is your brother? Who is your Sister? The Psalms testified and said “That man, that woman, who has the fear of God, listens to the Word of God and also puts it in Practice. He is your brother, she is your Sister.
“Anybody who is on the opposing side, is the very antichrist; he that opposes the truth, he is an enemy of truth and he is the greatest liar. The one who says that Jesus is not Christ, for he does not believe in God the father and in his Son.”
1st John 2:22:- And who is the greatest liar? The one who says that Jesus is not Christ. Such a person is antichrist, for he does not believe in God the Father and in his Son. LB
SO IF YOU ARE A MINISTER AND YOU CANNOT STAND AND SAY, “FOLLOW ME AS I FOLLOW CHRIST”, YOU ARE DOOMED. ANY MINISTER THAT CANNOT STAND ON HIS TWO FEET AND SAY, “IMITATE ME, EVEN AS I IMITATE CHRIST”, THAT MINISTER IS DOOMED. HE WILL GET THE GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE END. THAT GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT IS THAT HE WILL HELP MANY WHO WILL BE RECEIVING HIS MESSAGES, HAILING HIM, NOT KNOWING THAT HE IS LIVING CONTRARY TO THE FAITH HE IS PROFESSING. THAT IS WHY FROM TIME TO TIME, STOP AND THINK, AND CONSTANTLY WATCH YOUR BACK. CONSTANTLY WATCH YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR. NOBODY IS IN THE MIRROR BUT YOU. NOBODY IS IN THE MIRROR BUT MYSELF.

PAUSE AND THINK
Take note of these Unavoidable Truths from the Son of Man. We give God the glory for everything. If at this very moment in the history of the Bride of Christ Ministry which Started from the period, 30th December 1992 to this very day, you are still confused, you have not seen your own personal position in Christ because you are not yet convinced that what you are hearing is the truth from God.
Even if one will rise from the dead, come here on Earth to Speak to you, you will never believe because an unbeliever is an unbeliever from the very foundation of the world.
Even before the creation of the world an unbeliever is also there, doubted the possibility of God creating something into existence. Doubt remains the visible and invisible sign of unbelief. Belief anchors on faith and faith is conviction.
If you are not convinced, you have no faith in Him. You cannot have conviction without faith. If you are a man, can any spirit outside convince you that you are not a Man? You know you are clothed with your own dress; can any being tell you that you are naked? “Something is about to take place.
Do you know that God works with time? How many knows that God work’s with time?” God has fixed a day in which He is going to judge the entire world in righteousness, what is more, He that will Judge the world is already in the world seeing things with his own eyes.
In the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, He said, “I have heard and received report of evil that is going on in your land, I, the Lord, have come to investigate with the view to finding out the truth so that I will make up my mind as to the manner of judgment I will hand down to this land”.
Go back to the message titled: “The investigative judgment of God before the translation of the Saints”. God is using His lantern to search the camp. If any person is found not having the Mark of Christ, that person is destined for doom and destruction.
If any is discovered not having the Mark of Christ in his or her forehead, there is no amount of preaching that will save the person; there is no amount of self-righteousness that will save you.
As a result; be very sure that you still have the mark of Christ in you so that you will escape His wrath. Watch the Prophets. The last sign is here. There is nothing that is gotten in the world that will be there.
Anybody that does not have the nature of Christ can never abide with Christ till the end. Permitting you to stay means causing another trouble; all that will be there will be people with one nature, one type of life, one type of mind, one type of reasoning, and one type of character.
You can never see anything that will bring trouble there for there will be total peace; no type of evil will be there, anybody God knows very well that will come over there to cause trouble can never be there.
Thus, with your five senses you cannot be there. Nobody will be there with their five senses. What will be there is the sixth sense; nothing like five senses.
Every natural human being operates with five senses but a supernatural being operates with the sixth sense and the sixth sense is FAITH.
Did not William Branham say it? If you are still operating with your five senses, you are human and anything that is human is a troublemaker. You will not be there. Forget about it. Catching away of the Saints is Faith.
The whole mechanics have been put together. The dynamics are equally here, and nothing is coming down again than He that is already with us in human form.
What we are expecting is what He will do when He will be going up there for a period of time, after which He will now come and dwell with us here on earth eternally, for what will be left here on earth shall be Sons and Daughters of God alone.
However, there is going to be a transformation in keeping with the words of Prophet Ezekiel, on that great day, THE LORD IS GOING TO GIVE TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL TO HIM A NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT THAT WILL CULMINATE TO A NEW MIND ALTOGETHER; an entirely new person in a new world, not an old person in a new world, but a new individual in a new world.
A new heart that will never conceive iniquity, a new spirit that can never ferment evil, for the thought of evil will not be a part of your making anymore, for the whole Earth shall be filled with the righteousness of the Lord, for the glory of God will cover the whole Earth, for every community shall be entrusted with an elder who thy will look up to, who will look up to the King who shall be the King while we will be kings.
(From the message – (“We are almost there” preached 19th December, 2010 – By the Son of Man (Apostle Peter Odoemena) Pages 42 vs. 3–5, page 58 vs. 2 – 3, Page 67 vs. 22 – 24, Page 95 vs. 2–4.“THE GREATEST SIN THEY COMMITTED IN THE WILDERNESS WAS MURMURING. THE GREATEST SIN IN THE SIGHT OF GOD IS MURMURING. EVEN A RIGHT THINKING MAN, NOTHING OFFENDS HIM MORE THAN HIS WIFE MURMURING AGAINST HIM. NOTE, NOT TALKING BUT MURMURING…”
(From the message – The Name of God is revealed to His people in all the Ages. (The introduction) preached 27/10/2012 page 139 vs. 14 by (Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man).
“Note it, God said that if there is any trace of law in your heart, if there is any figment of the law in your heart, any doubt in you concerning all the teachings, all the messages we have received from the Son of Man, that gate can never open for you”.
Ministers meeting, Vol.1 page 82 vs. 90–91; “Note it; nobody is saved until he holds firm to the Profession of this Faith without wavering unto the end. You can only be saved if you hold the profession of your faith without wavering unto the end. If you do not know, know it now. Jesus said that he that endures till the end, the same shall be saved. Saint Paul said, “Receive ye the end of your Salvation even the Salvation of your soul” Until you are clothed with immortality you have not been saved. Until you see yourself in the indestructible estate, you are about to be lost. Bear this in mind.
“What God is about to do is a terrible thing – very, very terrible! Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will escape it. Only those that are numbered among the elect, only those that are feasting under the pillar of cloud, under the pillar of light are the people that will escape the wrath of God. The rest are trapped. Whether they are innocent or guilty, that is rubbish”.
From the message “The Kinsman Redeemer preached 15/05/2011, by Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man, page 55 vs 37, page 61 vs 53, page 88 vs 1”.
Self-righteousness achieved through self-discipline cannot save anybody. Only those God made righteous have the hope of salvation for God will not destroy anyone He made righteous in His own sight. Don’t present yourself, present Christ, revealed in your day as the only source of your Salvation.
“ANY DAY YOU DELVE INTO YOUR OWN PERSONAL VERSION OF THE WORD OF GOD, YOU HAVE DENOMINATED. YOU HAVE LEFT THE FAITH; YOU ARE NO LONGER IN THE FAITH OF CHRIST. YOU ARE NOW IN YOUR OWN MANMADE FAITH.
That is why, the moment people reject God’s own plan of salvation, they must initiate their own human plans. The way they see it, the way it should be, not the way it is, but the way they want it to be; but it will never, never, never be that way.
For any way that seemeth right in the eyes of a man, the end thereof is destruction. In addition, the drawing man does not like to die alone” I have to repeat the warning you have in your great sermon which says, “Be very careful that you are not sitting in the same pew with an elder who is out of the way of truth.
Or else, he will bias your mind. You will no longer believe the gospel of Christ”. Anybody who prays a prayer saying, “God reveal my condition and this and that to me through dream”,
To begin with, the person has fallen away from the faith of Christ. The perfect mind of God is made known to His children, through the spoken word. The mind of God concerning you is revealed by His Word.
Through the preaching of the Word, which is God’s mirror, you and I will begin to see ourselves featuring naked in God’s mirror, for nothing reveals who you are, your nature, even the thoughts of your hearts other than the Word of God.
For it is quick, powerful, shaper than any double-edged dagger. God said it is shaper than surgical blade. It tears you asunder, rakes out the thought, the motives, and the imagination of the hearts. Making everything plain.
However, when you neglect it, wave it aside; you will now begin to pray that God will come to you through dreams which signify your judgment.
There are many revelations from God, but the greatest is the revelation of the Word. For in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the word was God.
Even in the book of Revelation, He had a Name written: THE WORD OF GOD. Today, we are feasting in the Word, for the Word has been made flesh.
The Word has become flesh. When the Word has become flesh, and He reveals you, reveals me, and you wave it aside and say, “Speak to me through dream!” Some will say, “I do not believe what others are saying.
Is he afraid of me? Until he speaks to me and calls me by my name I will not take it”. Wait for it. He will call you, but not to save you again”.
From the message, (“I am the Chief designer preached 26/06/2011, by Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena), page 30 vs. 28 – 30 32 vs. 32 – 36.”
The Word of God is made flesh in our day and has been displaying, manifesting, fulfilling and accomplishing even more than we expected.
Through the Word of God our nature is made known so that there is no excuse or ignorance of the truth about the mind of God and our Salvation, Immortality, catching away, Paradise, Kingdom of Heaven. The Word reveals and placed everyone where he or she belongs.
In fact, through the revelation of the revealed word, we know what God hates and what He loves. We have known our status in Christ the Son of Man. We know His qualification for Salvation and eternal life.
We know what will disqualify somebody as well. So where somebody is going to spend eternity is not supposed to be a surprise again. No pretense about it. God sets the exam; He has also given the marking scheme.
Our belief determines our faith. Our faith determines our life and destination. No hiding place, we better accept the truth of who we are and what we are in the light of the revealed word made flesh in the Son of Man. He is God in human flesh.
Knowing our fault without removing it is condemnation on our side and it means the time taken to bring us to the knowledge of the truth about our salvation is fruitless.
If God wants us to perish will He become flesh? Will He call us to Himself and open our eyes of understanding to know our day and its message? Will He be suffering all things for our sake even to show us a perfect example on how we should live the life that pleases God?
The Son of Man appeared and met nothing but ungodliness, wickedness, Idolatry, Inherited religion, Hypocrisy all forms of evil as it was in the days of Noah and Lot. Total moral decay, Politically, Religiously, Socially, Economically, Academically even destructive technological developments.
Everywhere spelled disaster and destruction. The Son of Man met no faith. He met no Apostle, no Prophet, no Evangelist, no Pastor, no Teacher, no Deacon, no Bishop, no Elder, no Brother, and no Sister. Nothing approved of God was found here.
He examined all and then restored the Original Faith of Christ, placed the Alter right, separated His people from all falsehood, planted his word like a mustard seed, which has now engulfed the whole world according to his promise.
He gathered all the loosed ends. He revealed the only true God and made Heaven possible. Through His doctrines he restored the original Life of Christ, the Original baton, the original hope of eternal life.
Do not receive the grace of god in vain. Don’t frustrate the spirit of grace. Allow the grace of god to grow so that we can grow in grace, established in grace. Do not receive this grace in vain. Receive not the grace of god in vain.

AMAZING GRACE
To confirm who He is and to banish unbelief, doubt, reasoning and all forms of impersonation, He brought down the cloud, the headstone and even the Original Body.
All these was done to consolidate the faith of all His elect in Him and even to stumble the unbelievers the more. Any minister He did not ordain is not recognized by God, Any life He did not approve is not approved of God.
Whatsoever He says is bad is BAD, what He says is good is GOOD for He is God Himself. EVERY SEARCH FOR GOD IN THIS GENERATION ENDS IN REVEALING THE SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, (Blessed be His Holy Name) If He disqualifies anybody, that person stands disqualified. If He approves you, you stand approved.
Note; The Hindu says, “If God wishes to hide, God would choose Man to hide in” That is the last place man will look for God. THE REMEDY LIES IN CHRIST WHO CAME TO EARTH AS A HUMAN BEING.
Let us consider (I Timothy 3:16) LB. The scripture clearly states that “The way to live a Godly Life is not easy but the answer in CHRIST who came to earth as a human being”
Remember that until you settle this fact in your heart, you cannot make it without the revealed Christ of your day Guiding, Leading and enabling, you will not see your fault and those things that are likely to hinder you from getting eternal life. And you will not have the power to remove or overcome it.
If you try with your own power and self-righteousness you will not overcome unto the end. You will not be recognized by God because you are presenting yourself and your effort which is not what God requires.
Only God will be praised and not you or Me. Only God must receive the glory for our success in this journey. Your faith will be misplaced and rejected by God if it doesn’t come through the revealed Christ of your day (the Son of Man).
Many have tried and failed because they are manufacturing their own way of salvation, thinking that their own power will see them through.
Let us hear the mind of God on this matter as we consider the message of the son Of Man titled “The year of my Redeemed is come” Preached 10th January 1999 Pg. 102 vs 82 “Before this faith came, you were serving diverse Laws, you were serving Idols, but when He came, you believed and followed”.
Because you have believed and followed that is why you are waiting for His Son, whom He is revealing from Heaven, in the pillar of Cloud, who came to save us from His wrath to come.
In other words, I can now say, God hasten action because I have believed in your Son; he has now saved me from the wrath to come. There is nothing again that will make His anger to befall me for I know where I anchored my faith in.
Thus, when I am going home or I am driving home, I will be shouting Hurrah!!!, for I have escaped from the wrath of God to come because the wrath of God is coming upon the children of disobedience, and I am not disobedient to the heavenly vision.
When the massage came, I believed all, although it was very difficult, but I believed anyhow. If the word of God has set us free, we are free indeed. If the wrath of God will touch me, that means the word of God is nonsense.
However, it is not nonsense for God is faithful to His word. If you know where you are brethren, you will go about flying like an eagle. You see why I am saying that you should try to line up with your guide lest you abuse this wonderful privilege.
Let us really admire Christ because He is going to be admired by the believers. Let us admire the MAN who saved us; let us say Hurrah to Him. Amen!
I am telling you the truth we have to admire the MAN, Who is the resurrected Body because without Him, surely the wrath of God must surely come upon us whether we like it or not.
Because where we were heading to was exactly where every other person is heading to, were we different from other groups? We were working under the works of the Law, cursed people, cursed children thinking we were doing God a service.
We never knew that the wrath of God abideth on us like the wrath of God abideth on Israel for relying on the laws of Moses.
Brethren, the word of salvation must be received with Joy and good hearts before it can fervently work effectually in our lives and even offer us eternal Life.
The Bible said that they that gladly heard the word, believed to the saving of their souls. Even in the days of St. Paul the true Believers believed the word not as the word of Men but as the word of God and that was their Stand.
They were bold to declare and believe without wavering that they are saved. We must always recognize the MAN who saved us from God’s wrath.
Can you save yourself? If so why did the Son of MAN come? Why is He preaching and warning? If you know the way why didn’t you get to paradise before now or what are you still waiting for?
The Son of Man is revealed from Heaven for our salvation not for our condemnation. You are condemned only if you refuse to believe and obey Him till the end. Let all that truly believe in the Son of Man, appreciate His appearance.
Let us shout hurrah to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is worthy to be praised from everlasting to everlasting. If you cannot praise the Son of Man, will you praise the devil? What will the devil offer you or what has he offered you, that will make you to praise him? Has the devil even offered any body anything without paying back seven fold? Those that taste the Lord always testify that He is good.
God wants us to experience His divine person, Divine wisdom, Amazing Grace and appreciate His saving work of Salvation in our lives.
Let’s Continue from Page 111 vs. 13-17:- of the same massage. “In Him, it pleased the father that whatever maketh Him God, whatever is the fullness of God, in Him that thing will tabernacle. Without Him, there is no Church.
Get me right, without disappearing from them, that is in the Church, and when He appears, the Church will appear with Him for He is the head of the Body of the Church.
Take Him away, the Church will remain standstill; cut off the head, the entire body is standstill. The hands will be there, the legs and every other thing will be there lifeless for what will pilot the body has been taken away”.
No matter how Holy Ghost filled we are or how we have believed, we are living by His Power. The Son of Man is the Source of our life, strength and revelation (Faith). If you say, now I am in my family and God has made me the head, you forget that you must be connected to the DIVINE APPROVED HEAD OF THE BODY WHICH IS CHRIST HIMSELF; you must surely detach and become lifeless.
As the body cannot live and survive without the head so every family in this faith cannot survive without the divine headship, leadership of the Son of Man through His Word.
Remember, He divinely connected the entire local Assemblies to the Godhead. So each family of the elect in every local assembly is connected. What will really help us most at this hour is our connection with the deity to our families.
Any family that is not conscious of the presence of the Son of Man will not be serious to retain this great favour. You may be hearing His word as a hearer without being connected to the head.
When you are connected to the head, you will see His presence in your life and family, live by His Word and remain in your sanctified Estate. But if not, you will now rejoice that nobody is now checking, indicting or disturbing you simply because you see correction as disturbance.
Worshipping God at Home reveals more about everybody and every family and helps God to separate His true elect from the mixed multitude who will now get worst and walk without the regulation of the Word of God.
Let us continue from verse 14 of the same message – “Whoever is that person must be Christ (The Anointed One), In other Words, He is the Messiah, Without revelation we will perish” Note, without revelation, we will perish!.
Revelation of what? The Revelation of the person of Christ. That means we should place Him where He belongs in our lives and families. If you are the head of your family, remember that Christ is the Head of the Man (1Cor. 11:3) LB.
But there is one matter I want to remind you about: that a wife is responsible to her husband, her husband is responsible to Christ, and Christ is responsible to God.
Ephesians 5:23–24:- “For a husband is in charge of his wife in the same way Christ is in charge of his body the Church. (He gave his very life to take care of it and be its Savior!). So you wives must willingly obey your husbands in everything, just as the Church obeys Christ” LB.
So for every family to survive let the heads of the families recognize, this Supreme Head of the Body (BRIDE). Point all your family members to Christ and walk under the headship and leadership of the Son of Man; if you do that sincerely and faithfully you will discover that your whole family will follow suit then the Word of God will reign and control everybody.
It is only then that the individual and his family is connected to the family of the Son of Man. We have been over thought and God is now testing our faith in line with what He has taught us so far.
I may say that, this indeed is the time for final selection. It is in our families that we manifest exactly what we believe, No mistake about it. The few that are chosen by God are using every passing day to get perfected in the Word of God seeing that God have given us the opportunity to settle down with the word and make sure we have become THE WORD BRIDE.
Let’s continue from verse 15:- “Your problem is that you are dwelling with me without revelation – that is your problem” and that is the problem of many in this Faith. If you are dwelling with me without revelation, you can destroy yourself.
When you are in the Church and you cannot identify me in the Church, definitely you will be running a great risk. You can destroy yourself because He is the head of the body in the Church, in all things He will have the preeminence”.
Can we see the problem? “The Church started in the family and the Church ends in the family meaning that there is no difference if you know how you feared God in the Church, do it more in your home.
I am evolved, you are evolve. The Great family of God is revealed as the Son of Man’s family living at Nsugbe (The Goshen)” of our day.
Don’t say that your family is not the Church, unless you are already cut off from the cloud for the cloud covers us in our homes and before the Son of Man nobody is hidden.
He is the Word. Nothing is hidden before Him. He monitors everything we do and can really tell us all. The truth is that God knows families and individuals that are still retaining the revelation of their families being part of the Son of Man’s Great Family.
The Son of Man has a great family that is not limited to Nsugbe alone. The families of the elects belong to the Son of Man.
Page 112 vs 16 of the same message: – “All the principalities and powers, dominions, authorities in the Church, they are all under Him; for it pleased the father that in Him should the fullness dwell. Though they may be one million, he has made His choice that settles the matter. I am touching on our problem because the year of the redeemed is come.
The day of vengeance is already unfolding gradually. God is about to avenge of His enemies. He has also decided to grant us eternal rest. These two Programs are already on”
We must recognize and respect the Deity of the Son of Man in our midst. He is our head and the head of all heads of families under heaven.
He is in charge and is the Only One vested with the authority to Command the heavenly forces for He is the Commander in Chief of the host of the armies of Heaven Amen.
No dispute about that. Be you, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher, Bishop, Deacon, Elder etc. If you like, assume an office that is not approved or ordained of God, always remember that, all Church Principalities, Powers, Office and Dominions are under the Son of Man.
He Created them and they are for His own use and Praise. He can disrobe anyone that feels he is something beyond what the Son of Man-made him. He that ordained an office and the office which one is greater? In fact the Son of Man is the embodiment of all offices and anyone occupying it just had a little of His Spirit for He only has the totality of all the Spirit and power in the body of Christ.
When a minister does not have this revelation, he forgets that the authority that ordained him is Supervising Him. The Son of Man, is meek and humble but we must remember that His simplicity does not overlap His Lordship, because the closer a man is to God is the more humble he becomes for he is daily beholding the majesty of the Lord in and around the Son of Man.
Only spiritual people, believers and intelligent people sees and beholds the majesty of the Lord in the Son of Man. If you know the Son of Man from His Deity, you will have the fear of God and understand that He is the manifestation of the greatest Vindication of the Omnipotent the world has ever seen according to the Prophecy of Prophet William Marion Branham.
This is one of his descriptions of the Deity manifesting in the Bride. If you know He that Promised and provided this wonderful salvation, your duty is to be happy and keep praising His majesty. By so doing, sincerely you will be obeying Him with Joy.
In the same massage, let’s consider Page 129 vs. 61 – 63
“That is why this promise makes me to shout hurrah. That nothing will take me out of my Saviour’s hand, He that brought me to my Saviour is greater than any person, mightier than Satan, will uphold me till the end”.
Brethren, since we believe God is the greatest and is able to keep His promise why shaking in mind again? Why should we behave in a way to disprove God’s power? We should not do so. No shaking!
My Conviction is that God is greater than whatever He has ever promised. Since He has the power of the Spoken Word, (Making what was not existing before to manifest) why should anyone doubt what God have Said or promised?
When I remember that God has the power to preserve His own unto the end, I rejoice exceedingly. God is greater than any force that is fighting against me or any of God’s elect.
Do not lose the revelation that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We should be of good cheer. For CHRIST HAS CONQUERED THE WORLD.
Verse 62-63- “Simple Faith! You see the faith Christ was expecting to see when He comes. Who is holding the faith that has overcome the world today? The Bride. What we are holding is never held anywhere.
May be you do not know what you are holding. The faith we are exercising is the Faith that is turning the world upside down, so we possess the faith that overcometh the world. That is our freedom.
If we hold the same faith every other person is holding, wherever they are ending; there we shall end also, but we are Praying to excel further”.
Not all men have our faith. We have an Overcoming Faith, Christ leading us successfully. No shaking; we have the Overcoming Faith. Anybody in this Faith of Christ that is still shaking or expecting a defeat really does not have the revelation of God’s power to save.
Page 131 vs. 68-70: – “I am still hammering that we are going to rejoice in the day of God’s vengeance because we have escaped His wrath through Christ who has saved us from the wrath of God to came, for we have exercised our faith in Him”.
Hence, when they shall be destroyed, we shall be spectators. Since I know this, I will preach lavishly from now. Since I know this, I fear no evil. Let the Heaven Shake, it does not Concern me.
Psalm 57:1“Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my Soul trustful in thee: yea, in the Shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge until these calamities be overpass KJV.
Conditions make us to have momentary faith but God is not looking for that momentary faith, He is looking for abiding Faith. The faith God is talking about is abiding Faith and once that abiding Faith comes in me and in you, he said troubles cease. Nothing worries the person again. That is why he said whatever you like to do to that person he is not moved. Why because there is an abiding Faith. Faith on who? On the Son of Man! I am sure and certain, whatever you are doing, if he does not permit it, nothing happens. It’s just like the three Hebrew children, they were telling the King, king live forever, whether he comes or he does not come, we are not moved. And if he permits you to do whatever you will do, do it. Did he permit him? No.

ABIDING FAITH
Where do you make your refuge, until Calamities are Over past? In the Shadow of His wings. Remain in Him, abide in Him. Do not pull out no matter the Situation.
This is indeed a child-like Faith which leads to ABIDING FAITH; Faith that is Unconditional, Faith that knows no defeat, Faith that is standing on Conviction.
Once God notice that Our Faith in Him is unshakable and unconditional, He accepts us and become our refuge. How can a man have Faith in One he does not Believe? When you are convinced that God is ABLE to save your Soul, you automatically anchor your faith forever, no matter the situation; knowing that no other faith is better than the one you have received and embraced.
When one is convicted against his conviction, he/she was never convinced in the first place. Confusion leads to deception. When you reason the truth, devil will confuse you and when you are confused deceiving you becomes very easy that is why Children of God don’t reason God’s word and His Supernatural manifestation, neither do they explain it to avoid explaining away what they believe.
Reasoning the word God produces unbelief and unbelief produces faithlessness. All these are products of using human sense in following the things of God. This is the reason every elect is not afraid of any development or circumstance, by day or by night because an elect has already anchored his/her faith in God (Christ) forever.
The wrath of God or His vengeance is upon those that do not look up to Him for Salvation. Because faithful is He that has promised to save all that trust in Him. God, Declared 2020 as a Calamitous year but to His Children He promised Safety. God’s elect are spectators.
The Son of Man made a promise to all His Children When the ravaging Covid-19 held the entire world captive. The promise was documented in the Message, (Is your life worth of the message you are preaching?)
Page 117 verse 59-61:- “ALL THAT BELONG TO CHRIST ARE INSULATED FROM THAT NONSENSE. I SAY, ALL THAT ARE FOUND IN CHRIST ARE INSULATED FROM EVERY CALAMITY WHICH GOD IS UNLEASHING UPON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE. I AM THE ONE DECLARING IT.
I KNOW WHO IS WITH ME, AND I KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. DO NOT WORRY UNTIL THEY BEGIN TO SCRATCH. I TOLD YOU THAT THEY WILL GO NAKED MAN AND WOMAN, EVERYWHERE, NO RESET! YOU WILL NOT EAT, YOU WILL NOT EAT. DO NOT WORRY, THERE IS GOING TO BE DISTRESS HERE ON EARTH UPON ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH EXCEPT SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD” Amen!!
The Son of Man has all it takes to Save, Secure, Protect, Guide, lead all that have this abiding faith in Him. Remember the scriptures said “When the Son of Man shall come shall he find faith on earth?”
The faith is the abiding faith because He that endureth to the end shall be saved and it is only abiding faith in Christ, the Son of Man that will endure to the end. This is really an overcoming faith in Christ.
Abiding Faith leads to abiding connection to the Deity. Let us go over to the message “Are you divinely connected to God? Preached 11th June 2017 by the Son of Man (Apostle Peter Odoemena) Page 22 vs. 35
“YOU SEE, THE MOMENT YOU WALK YOURSELF INTO THE HEART OF THE SON OF MAN, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO HAVE YOUR REST. WALK YOURSELF INTO HIS HEART. SO THAT HIS HEART, HIS EYES WILL BE BEAMING ON YOU TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OF THE DAY. YOU ARE SETTLED, THAT’S ALL.”
Page 24 vs 46:- “Let me tell you what you do not know. We are heading to the city where the maker and Builder is the Lord and the Maker and Builder is here! It is not that he is coming from somewhere…”
What a great assurance to confirm that the Author Of Eternal life, the Builder and Maker of our eternal salvation is living here with us and all the host of heaven have attested and witnessed to that. Halleluiah!
Page 27 vs. 61-62:- “God has never finished with the Son of Man that is why the Son of Man is still alive till today. Whenever God finishes with the person He is using, He will pack Him home; you see another one riding the trail. As far as He is Still on the Trail, He is God En-Morph to the Elect, but a mere man to the world”
Brethren, thank God for the Son of Man has arrived to live with us and after Him Cometh no other!
Page 31 vs. 11 – “I am led this morning to take you back by putting you in remembrance of the hour. When you see iniquity everywhere, all we have to do is to fall back on the message, for the message is your security. The message is your security”
The message is what? Our security! The message is Christ and Christ is our Leader and Security, we have no cause for any alarm, but outside the Son of Man, no security.
Let us make sure we stand behind the Son of Man as we have seen that the LORD has risen and is judging the whole Earth.
Page 31 Verse 14-17; of the same message “If you say that God is not at work, it is because He is not at work in you. It is God in me both to do and to work after the Counsel of His own will.
God is constantly at work in Me. God is constantly at work in every elect of God, anybody here that is sure and certain that God is not constantly at work in him or her, his or her sitting down here profits him/her nothing.
And when God is constantly at work in you, you grow in knowledge, you grow in wisdom, you grow in understanding in the things of God, until your mind and the mind of God will be one. But if God is not at work in you, it is because you are a visitor. You can never notice any change in you. Thus, I want everybody to get defrosted.
First step towards modifying your life begins by defrosting your old life. When you melt it, you become free. You know what it means to freeze, maybe meat in your freezer that is being held tightly by ice block.
Do you carry it and put it inside your soup, because you want to make use of it? What do you do? You bring it out, allow air to act on it or use hot water on it, you do what? Defrost it! Once it defreeze, all the pebbles of meat will separate, then movement takes off. A little while, you begin to see the benefit of what you purchased. Too many people are frozen, they are like frozen fish”.
What hinders people from getting eternal life is that they do not allow God’s Word to work on them, mould them, melt them and fill them. We should surrender ourselves completely to God’s Word so that we can overcome all hindrances to paradise.
Let’s us continue from Verse 20: – “There is no way the word of God can come to them and melt them. But if you are an elect of God, the Word comes to melt you, the Word comes to sieve you, then you become object of God’s pleasure; no longer object of anger.
Then God will begin to make use of you. Defrost yourselves this morning and let the word of God do its rightful work in you. For what is awaiting you is greater than what you are pursuing.
A good number of you have gone astray especially the ministers. For us to become objects of God’s pleasure, we should allow the Word to remold, sieve, and melt us.
He doesn’t want us to become objects of His anger hence He is teaching and guiding us to know and do His will but remember only the elects will do the will of God continually”.
Brethren, let us remember that we should not bypass God in anything. Let us remember what God said about whatever we are doing. When we do it according to His Word, He will be happy with us and back us up.
Page 39 vs 6, 9 and 10 – “Christ was in the world before the world began. Christ created everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible; principalities and powers, all for Himself, for His own use” Is it not scriptural (Colossian 1:16-19)
And if you do not know who Christ is, you can bypass Him. We are no longer in doubt as whether we are following Christ or not. But not everybody has this spiritual insight about who He is.
If the world of Jesus day knew He was God, the creator of heaven and earth tabernacled in the vessel called Jesus, nobody would have slapped Him, they would not have buffeted Him about, and neither would they have killed Him, thinking He died.
Then He came back again and the journey continued in another form. Christ does not die, He changes His tabernacle. “How people miss God in all the ages”
Brethren, it is an indisputable fact that God is with us in the person of Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man (Blessed be His Holy Name), and it will only take the chosen and the very elect to get this spiritual revelation.
Remember FAITH IS REVELATION, so abiding faith is abiding revelation of who God is. It should be permanently registered in our heart that the Son of Man, who is with us is the Lord God Almighty that created us.
So, we have no other argument, alternative or option than to accept with all our hearts, obey Him and HAVE FAITH IN HIM consistently and constantly.
Then we will benefit from all the treasures, packages, promises and security that He came to offer us. But, if this revelation is not abiding continually and manifesting in you, you will never endure unto the end or partake of the promised immortality, eternal life or paradise.
Always remember that eternal life is your personal reward and this is the revelation that will give it to you. We should be growing from faith to faith, revelation to revelation, from the known to the unknown until CHRIST THE SON OF MAN is completely FORMED IN US.
At that point we are now grounded, rooted and settled in Christ. This is the essence of His labour in our midst. My joy is that Christ, the Son of Man did not and will never labour in vain for I believe He has saved and secured all the elect that are in Him.
He is the Resurrected Body of CHRIST, who has come to receive us to Himself. He is dogged and focused to accomplish the task ahead, for He has all it takes and even more that it takes to accomplish all that remains.
If He has succeeded in bringing us to this level of permanency in His faith, (Sanctified Estate), fulfilling all His Words before our eyes, is it clothing us with the promised immortality that He will not do? Put your hand in the scripture, it is not there!
What sustains an elect is his or her experience in Christ and his or her conviction that he or she is divinely connected to Christ by Spiritual revelation. Let us go further to consider the message “Are you divinely connected to God”
Page 41 vs 18-24- “You must have the divine revelation. And you cannot have divine revelation unless you are divinely connected to God. Every elect of God is divinely connected to God, not carnally connected, not physically connected.
When somebody is divinely connected to the Elohim, nothing in this life nor in the life to come disconnects him because it is a spiritual affair”.
How do you know when you are divinely connected to God? I show you one indicator and then you think about the rest. If you check events around you, how things happen around you, you will see that all have divine orientation.
Everything around you must originate from God. I do not care what it looks like. It is coming because God wants it that way for He knows what is good for you at all times. If you are divinely connected to God, that is exactly what eternal security is all about. If you are carnally and physically connected, you must be disconnected. You must disconnect.
Watch all that were carnally connected to this ministry of the Son of Man, a good number of them are no longer here, but watch as many as the Lord Himself called to Himself and they are spiritually, divinely connected to God, let the heavens fall, let the world dispossess them of everything, let maggot eat up their flesh, no way. I say, no way! That germ of life came from God Himself.
Remember that He that called you saw many. Is it not true? He went to the river and saw too many fisher men; He picked two and left the rest. He went to another place, saw too many tax collectors, he called one, left the rest. How do you know when God is the one that called you because often times it appears confusing to some people?
HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT WAS GOD THAT CALLED ME INTO HIMSELF? THERE IS ONLY BUT ONE SIGN, NOT TWO. THERE IS ALWAYS AN IRRESISTIBLE URGE TO OBEY. NO MATTER THE REASONS YOU MAY HAVE, WHY YOU SHOULD NOT RESPOND, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU SEE YOURSELF RESPONDING CONTRARY TO YOUR THINKING, TO YOUR WISH. YOU ARE NOT THE ONE DOING IT.
VERSE 31-43 – “By nature, no man can serve God. You see why it takes God to come into us and help us to serve him. By nature, nobody can obey God. It is God that is in us helping us to obey. In what way? You are divinely connected to God.
God comes to you contrary to your nature without your knowledge. You do not think about it. You will not know how the whole thing happened. You see how you will know when God is the one that called you. Every attempt you want to make to resist, you see yourself failing.
In the bed, you will not rest until you respond. If you try to resist, you will be forced, because God is the one. If you refuse to come, your corpse will be carried to God. Jonah wanted to resist, God become a fish, swallowed Jonah. Then vomited Jonah in the same place, made the journey even faster.
If it is not like this in you, you are in this faith because you think it is new. You are here because your relations are here. You are here because you are using it as a cover. You are here because of what you are likely to benefit.
But anybody that is called by God considers nothing. He does not even know where God is taking him to and he does not even ask, “where are we going into? This is an irresistible urge that conquers nature and you do not know when it is happening. You are saying no and at the same time you are obeying.
With the mouth you say “no”, in action you say “yes”. Before you know it, you start supporting something you are also against and be ready to die for it and people will be wondering what is wrong with you. You are not the one doing it. How do you know when God is the one that has called?
When you want to do good, you do evil. When you want to do evil, you do good. For God does not want you to have your way. St. Paul said, “though he finds himself in that condition, he queried himself, he then understood that it was God in him doing everything after the counsel of his own will.
He now yielded and said that he is now persuaded that God is able to keep that which is committed into his hand. How can God allow you to have your way? If God should allow a human being to have his way, nobody will walk on the street.
That is why if you watch in your life, if God is the one behind everything in you, which means your orientation is God, in him you live, in him you move, in him you freely have your being, look at what will happen, you will be proposing, and God will be disposing. Why is it like that?
