Now, when the missionaries came and succeeded in settling down because the people accepted that new knowledge of learning foreign language. That was why almost all the missionaries were Irish reverend fathers and they needed interpreters who served as their catchiest.
2. With that little knowledge, they started governing the affairs of the black people notably Africa. The District officers
were expatriates. The judges were expatriates. Interpreters were needed by every judge to pass the information across to the jury.
3. If you have watched one play they call “Ichoke,” you see magistrate, you see the interpreter (Lomaji Ugoji), that was the picture.
4. The interpreters were called court clerk, they normally wear baggy knickers with a very nice hose/socks as stockings, and shoe we called nwaliba shoe.
5. Whatever the judge says, he will interpret in the way he understood and at the same time demanding his own bribe. “You will find something for me oh! Magistrate said you will be guilty. Bring a goat in my house so that I will turn the judgment”.
6. The magistrate will ask, “What are you discussing?” He will say, “No, no, no, no! I am saying what you said.”
7. This was the picture we met 1,783 years ago. Now, when they were about to settle down—pay attention for I want to stop that foundation here—they needed places to erect churches, they appealed to the people, the elders of the land gathered and assigned evil forest to them.
8. Having warned them, “Let them go to the evil forest so that the gods of the evil forest will wipe them off.”
9. That is why all churches are sited in the evil forest. Schools, colleges are sited in evil forests for nobody own schools and colleges except churches.
10. The people went, cleared evil forest, built Church, built schools and colleges and were flourishing. The community gathered and said, “These people have become greater than our gods. These people are immortal.”
11. They now came up in their own way and devised a means of dealing with them. They came with tradition, anything the whites did, they accused them of breaking the traditions of the land, imposed penalties on them, on rejection of the penalties, they gathered their youths and masquerades and set the Church ablaze for which cause many of them were imprisoned by the District officers, Some served jail terms and died in jail.
12. That was when liberation started, clearing of evil forest started. Up till today, some communities still have evil forests.
13. Go to Aguleri, go to Umuleri, Nando, Awkuzu, Nteje, Nsugbe, they still revere forests. Go to everywhere in Igbo land, in the Hausa land, they have the places they call kobonkanaki, kurim nukiki (the land of go never to return). They have all of them.
14. IDOLATRY HAS REIGNED AMONG MEN FOR TOO LONG. WHY IS IT HARBOURED TILL TODAY? CHURCHGOERS STILL HARBOURED IT, IDOLATRY IS PRESERVED IN THE CHURCH FOR IT CONTINUITY, NOT BY THE BRIDE OF CHRIST BUT THE CHURCHES.
15. YOU KNOW THE CHURCHES. ARE WE ONE OF THEM? I AM NOT RUNNING A CHURCH, I KNOW WHAT I AM RUNNING AND I KNOW WHO I AM. I KNOW THOSE THAT ARE MY MEMBERS. MY MEMBERS ARE NOT NATURAL MEMBERS, BUT MYSTICAL MEMBERS FOR MEMBERSHIP OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY IS DIVINE AND WE ARE NUMBERED AMONG THOSE WHO DO NOT WORSHIP GOD AFTER THE DICTATES OF THE FLESH OR THE LAW, BUT BY THE DICTATES OF THE SPIRIT HAVING BEEN JUSTIFIED BY THE SPIRIT, WE HAVE ACCESS TO GOD FOR WE ARE THOSE THAT WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH AND BELIEVE THAT THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING.
16. THUS, WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FLESH, CARNALITY—WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LAWS OF CARNALITY (DON’T DRINK THIS, DON’T EAT THAT) WHICH PERISH WITH THE USER.
17. If the idols are effective, why do their priests die? Now, watch all the burial grounds. Concerning people that fear the spirit of the dead, all the burial grounds established by the churches, not even one is functioning again. Buildings have filled everywhere.
18. Go to Old Cemetery, Onitsha, go to new cemetery, Onitsha, buildings have filled everywhere. Even C.M.S in My hometown, Catholic Church in My hometown, they do not bury in the Church again because there is no space.
19. Burial grounds are now having sky scrapers owned by those churches, yet the spirit of the dead has not killed anybody or pushed down any upstairs either in the New Cemetery or Old Cemetery.
20. Have you heard about a building that collapsed because the spirit of the dead came out and pushed it down?
21. But you will hear about collapsed buildings built in certain areas by amateur builders, using poor building materials. The living will kill and attribute their crime to the dead.
22. The idols have not killed anybody, it is what you believe that is killing you. Your people used what you believed in and killed you. Because if a community wants to kill their son, they will send him to the river and start using charm on him so that if he dies there, they will say that that river killed him.
23. Because if someone swears an oath and dies, they will say that he was dragging what does not belong to him, he is guilty. For that reason, the person he swore the oath with, will go at all lengths, he will even hire assassins to kill him, he may be crushed by a vehicle. What he is after is for him to die no matter the way he died.
24. Was it the river that killed him? No sir! Why can’t you stop poisoning him until the river kills him? The river does not kill because it does not exist, there is no power in it.
25. The power of every shrine is embedded in the worshiper. When the worshiper wants to perpetrate evil, he will be basking on the idol.
26. The strength of the worshiper of idol is in his adherents. He promotes it: “Do not joke with it oh, it is not a small thing oh!”
27. What is in that thing you should not joke with? What is that thing that is not small? Not in this Faith! That is why the Faith of The Son of Man is not for everybody. It is for those who were predestined for Salvation before the world began.
28. These are the people I have come to save, these are the people that are waiting for me to arrive for they are waiting for the day of their Redemption from this sinful world and today is the day of redemption.
29. If you are not redeemed today, definitely you are heading to Hell for you will not have this escape route again.
30. Now, the people were established. Everything they built in the evil forest flourished. Today, they have encroached into the lands that were not allocated to them.
31. You see why churches that came here earlier occupied larger land space than the community that owns it. They started tapping the real resources of the land, collected the idols of the people, exported them as adverts, made money with them. Using them to decorate their streets and everything, ridiculing your god. Yes!
32. So, the time when you were thinking that God is like four-footed animals like elephant, crocodile etc, is gone. Oh Glory be to God.
33. Do you know that in some places, if a lizard will run into their house, they will take money and consult idol. “Let us go and ask why.” For any sickness that befalls somebody, they will go and consult their oracle to know whether the land has been transgressed. Idolaters that filled the camp!
34. Why? Their consciences have never been void of idolatry. For they have given idols undue recognition in their hearts until it has started troubling, confusing and even punctuating their reasoning and success, for idol worshipers cannot make steady progress for the idol they worship punctuates every effort they make. Come up with good ideas, it must be decimated because idols are short-sighted and blind.
35. Let me not say they are blind, worshipers of idols are also blind.
36. Now, Christ came to liberate us from these non-senses. The essence of the Gospel of Christ is to declare prisoners free, to put away idolatry and establish the Throne of God in the hearts of men, create the Fear of God in the hearts of men by decreeing out completely, the fear of gods, the fear of idols.
37. In time past, we were controlled and terrorized by the fear of idols, things that never existed but only exist in our brain, in our conscience as a result of the fear that our parents instilled into us. AMEN.

FLEE FROM IDOLS (2)
With the much I have said as my foundation, who is free? Because idol is not a thing that is worshiped ignorantly by families.
2. In those days, parents will come, Elders will come, slaughter goat or fowl, their women will prepare food, prepare cocoyam, pounded yam, everything.
3. Everybody will come out at the village square in front of the house, then the head of the family will be pouring some libations, throw some food to the gods, kolanut to the gods, meat to the gods. After his incantations, he will command everybody to eat as each and every one of them wishes, everybody dancing while worshipping idol.
4. Oh glory! If God has delivered you, begin to thank Him. That is why God said we were all given over to dumb gods until Christ came and redeemed us.
5. Has Christ appeared in your day? Before now, were you not given over to dumb gods? Have you allowed yourself to be set free? You are not set free until your conscience is set free. That is why you have appeared before the conscience court.
6. It is not a court where Brother will come and be a witness against you. It is a court where your conscience will witness either for or against you.
7. Even as I am talking now, many of you that are guilty, your consciences have put you in remembrance even the extent it has ruled you till now to the point that some of you started establishing these gods in your family worship, in your family altars thinking that it is the best way to control their family, to reintroduce the power of idol in their homes.
8. Some, the fear that will be in their wife and children will not be the fear of God but the fear of what idol will do against them if they will fail him.
9. “Our land will kill him one way. It does not show mercy!” Does such a person worship God? No sir!
10. This is what they are teaching in their families. They will teach both their wives and children. A woman will introduce it to the husband and children.
11. After practicing idolatry, you still come here to clap your hands and be mentioning “Peter Christ,” “Peter Christ.” Are you not mockers of God?
12. Have you wondered why God is wrecking these things up? This matter never came up in the wilderness until they had presented the fruit from Canaan.
13. Two steps into Canaan, idolatry reared up for which cause the journey got delayed a little longer and God smote them in thousands.
14. Now, we have seen the Godhead, we have seen the Pillar of Cloud, we have seen the Darkness, we have seen the Rainbow, we have seen the Elohim even God En-morphy. Have we not seen the fruit of the land? Have we not seen the Immortal Body?
15. The promised body we shall all put on, have we not seen everything? What is left? One step into Paradise, idolatry rose up.
16. I was telling my wife that we are real Sons and Daughters of God. Whatever they met at any point in time, when we got there, we met it. Remember my message At Kadesh-barnea.
17. . The people went awhoring after other gods.
18. Last week, I do not want to highlight much for preachers are coming who will help me but I have laid a foundation for it and I will show you how it started in the Scripture, Ephraim joined himself with foreign people, refused to go with the people and then Ephraim became an idolater; all the sons and daughters of Ephraim borrowed a cue from Ephraim but they did not worship it for too long.
19. Immediately The Lord spoke to Ephraim concerning idol, all of them turned away from idolatry and went to God.
20. That is how we know the original children of God. The moment God comes and reveals it, no more. That is the end of the road. No human being can compel them to do otherwise for they know better than that. More so, when it is being backed by the scriptures, backed by nature for nature speaks louder than every other thing.
21. The reason why people carry their fellow human beings property to a shrine which they will later distribute among themselves is to create a scare.
22. All that were taken from idols those days, they will show them corpses lying here and there. But one day, Federal Government apprehended it, all the human bodies were wrecked up, human heads, some fresh with blood. The Police carried all of them to Abuja, arrested too many people, used bulldozer to bulldoze the whole building.
23. Till today, Iyi ojii the same thing. Come to my house, In front of my house at Mbaise is a dreaded evil forest by my people that sprang for almost half a kilometer.
24. When my father embraced Deeper Life Knowledge not Deeper life faith, with the little faith, he started trimming down the evil forest. My people were against him, I was watching his reaction.
25. When it came to his turn to be the head of my family, he summoned for the god of the family which they called okpesi, ofo la ogu.
26. They brought it, every head of the family is in-charge of it. He poured fuel on it and set it ablaze publicly. They accused me of inspiring his action.
27. I said, “What do you mean? My father is sensible. Is he not one of your judges in the village court? He speaks for himself.”
28. I went my way, I was waiting and watching. Immediately I buried him in 2009, that was where I got my bamboo which I used as fence. As at that time, my house was not fenced.
29. Two months after the burial, I launched an attack on that evil forest, I cleared all. I waited for the worst.
30. My people summoned me here and there, I said, “Please, let no man speak to me on this matter. You know me very well. I will like to die in the hands of the idol. Let this god that owns this evil forest kill me but let none of you kill me.”
31. When they saw that I survived, I continued clearing it every year. Even now, nothing is there again except my farmland. Some are now showing interest in building there. They are now struggling with me over the dreaded forest.
32. That is why idol worshipers are always looking for opportunity to trap me but God gives me knowledge above them.
33. You might be revering your own, revering the one in your compound, the one your father espoused you to. That was what nearly finished Bro. Mike and his family until God came and severed them.
34. You are the people of God, He has severed you from other gods that you will be His own. Why going there? Did you receive the Holy Spirit of God because you obeyed the laws of your land?
35. Now, God appeared to liberate us from the powers of darkness and usher us into the Kingdom of the Light.
36. If the light of the Gospel has illuminated in your heart, where is the room for idol, where is the conscience for idol?
37. For the fact that the conscience of idol is still in your heart, it is a number one sign that you are one of the foreigners that followed us from Egypt. You are the one besetting and troubling us, you are the one bringing in conflict, man or woman, young or old.
38. For the idols of your people is having dominion and control over you, and the deeds of the idols of your people you will uphold.
39. You have a clever way of setting aside the word of God so that you will do that which your people cherish highly. Amen.

FLEE FROM IDOLS (3)
The Cloud is in the Camp and I am happy. If you know you are happy, let me see your hand up. You are hypocrites hands down.
2. If you are happy, why am I losing my life? I am handling this message with death in my body for the devil vowed to destroy me before I will handle this message.
3. I know the next message that remains and that message is documented in the Book of Revelation chapter 22 verse 2 amplified and King James only. 129
4. Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life…
5. “The Tree Of Life”. Did it say trees? No but “The Tree Of Life”.
6. …which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month…”
7. Which bear all manner of fruits every month.
8. “and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.(KJV)
9. Through the middle of the broad way of the city; also, on either side of the river was the tree of life with its twelve varieties of fruit in one tree; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing and the restoration of the nations. AMP
10. “with its twelve varieties of fruit.”
11. …yielding each month its fresh crop…
12. Yielding each month its fresh crop. Who has ever seen such a tree before? It is not grafted.
13. One tree bearing twelve different fruits on a monthly basis. I will speak on that, not now so that you will know WHO I AM.
14. No prophet, no minister, no apostle has ever touched it. What is more, it is not documented in any book. Pastors run away from it.
15. One tree bearing twelve fruits, you will see grape, paw-paw, mango, orange, tangerine, pear, all of them numbering twelve every month, fresh.
16. I am coming to something. Leave me alone. You know I am crazy. I came for something and until I achieve it, I will not have my rest.
17. Today is total freedom, total liberation. You are not liberated until you are liberated from the conscience of idols. Idols attach a stigma on the worshipers.
18. Idols attach what? A stigma which will make people to be suspecting you whenever they see you, they will be avoiding you.
19. You may not be guilty but if any bad thing happens to your relations, it will be attributed to you because they know you as an idol worshiper.
20. You are innocent, but if anyone dies, you will be accused. If anybody becomes lame, they will suspect you because a stigma has been attached on you.
21. If your children become sick, people will say it is because of the charm their father has. If the wife dies, they will say he has used her for ritual. Why? Because of idol worship.
22. If it is a woman, they will say she is a witch, she has bewitched her children. There is nothing the husband will do that will prosper. Why? She is known as an idol worshiper, a stigma is attached.
23. Ezemachiri, are you confused about this issue? Your mother is an idol worshiper, your father is an idol worshiper, your siblings are idol worshipers, you are an idol worshiper. Why?
24. When I went to Nsukka to wed Bro. Chimaobi and his wife, I accused the whole of Nsukka of idolatry. I told the whole world that they were diabolic and I came with my Seven Spirits for I was ready for them.
25. They came to mar the wedding, they armed themselves to the throat and they dressed poorly as a sure sign that they never came for the wedding.
26. From the introduction, I saw what was about to take place, I assumed responsibility over all, starting from song leading till the end, waiting for the worst.
27. When I accused all of you of idolatry, some started murmuring. Then I made a statement: “Do not worry, you might be thinking I am crazy or I am accusing you falsely.
28. “I am coming back again and when I come back to you, I will expose all the evils you have been perpetrating all these years and concealing them. Prominent among you are the ministers and their families”.
29. Did I say so at Nsukka? It is in the book form, it is in print. When I said this in Nsukka, Ezemachiri nearly fainted.
30. I called him inside the room, called the late wife Chinyere then there was an open confession. Ezemachiri true or false? You SAID True sir!
31. Who made you to go back, was it not Chinyere? Who brought that thing, was it not Chinyere? Who introduced it into the house? Chinyere.
32. Brethren knew it not and they were eating and drinking. Who used it on me with the aid of her colleagues? Not knowing that I have seen it before I left Onitsha, warned Apostle Kelechi, warned Bro. Ik Nwobodo to steer clear.
33. “Look at what we must meet. When we were dastardly hungry, see where the food will be served, contrary to how they used to serve it before.”
34. That is why I find it difficult—until Bishop Moses died—to forgive him of the evil he did to me.
35. I was running for my life, I needed a place of refuge, I wanted to take refuge in his house, an uncompleted building he just packed into anyhow, he and the wife refused me with the pretence that the house was still porous, that they were still managing a corner.
36. I said, “I will like to manage that corner with you for I went to Ohebedim I never ate.”
37. From Ohebedim, I went to Enugu-Ezike. From Enugu-Ezike, I came back to Bishop Moses house, from there to Sister Ogochukwu, went back to Ezema looking for a place to place my head.
38. In all these places, I tasted no water, I never took my bath. Even my station wagon that fell into the ditch was not even repaired. I needed a little rest with my brethren, Bishop Moses denied me that rest.
39. I courageously gathered my brethren, not that I was afraid of My life, but I was afraid of losing My Brethren that went with me.
40. I now called them, “Look at the experience I had at home, see the way it will happen. Once you see this happening, the moment you see this thing happening, these two people coming together after an argument ensued and they carried this food instead of dining table where we used to eat, everybody, we used to eat together the whole Brethren.
41. “If they carry this food and call you it is specially made for me into a separate room and said I should come and eat it there that is prepared for me, know that that thing is there. Do not ever drink, do not ever eat except on that table with the Brethren”.
42. A little while, as I told them secretly, the thing happened. They gorgeously dressed, pretended as if they loved me more than any other sister. Sang My praise, called me good names, carried the tray and everything, inside that small room, covered it with their tablecloth very well, and ushered me in.
43. I called Bro. Kelechi, I said, “Bro Kele, I hope your eyes are open?”
44. He said yes that a battle that is being announced ahead of time does not take the life of a lame man.
45. We laughed, I told them I was going to take my bath. I refused the bathroom in that room, went to the public one.
46. That was why in the morning I never took my bath, went to the mechanic at Nsukka, from their home. Here in Onitsha, I saw it coming, I called Apostle Kelechi, “Somebody is coming to give you a kolanut in the fellowship.
47. Okey Nwankpa was there in my house and the person that will give you the kolanut will be a great-grandmother, so that you will not suspect it. Look at where it is coming from. Don’t ever put it in your mouth.”
48. Three weeks after that, he came here, while he was sitting down in the other fellowship hall, a great-grandmother came, she said, “Apostle, take this kolanut.”
49. Immediately he collected that kolanut, Okey Nwankpa tapped him, “Bro. Kele, I know you are at alert!”
50. He said, “Am I a kid?” That was the end of that kolanut. The following week, the same person asked him why he did not eat the kolanut.
51. Will you give me food and monitor whether I will eat it or not? If I dash it out, does it concern you?
52. Another one came. For the devil told him that the only way to weaken Me is to disarm me of my trusted ministers so that I will be operating alone, that I must be weak.
53. I announced that one for the first time I went to his house. I continued asking people questions until they showed me Bro. Kelechi’s house.
54. With my motorcycle, early hours of the morning, I went there, “Look at the problem now, look at the way the Revelation came. Somebody is coming with a vehicle as a woman, she will park, look at what she will tell you and will beacon you to even go with her. Do not ever come near the vehicle talk less of entering the vehicle. Whatever offer she will offer you, say no”.
55. I left, almost a month, plainly like that, he was preparing for work, the same woman I mentioned pulled up there with a vehicle and used My words, word for word.
56. Bro. Kele told me he looked up and looked down and said, “God is Great. who will stop me from this God?”
57. He said, “Madam, I have told you my mind and this is where I stand, you can go.” He went upstairs.
58. Do you think we are standing in our own power? Many of you have tried me in different forms. You have set diverse traps for me and you know yourselves.
59. Some times in My honest attempt to convince Brethren, I will taste of it like I did in the Fellowship hall in Onitsha. Where I warned Bro. Chizoba, “See this food, do not touch it, let nobody ever taste it, this is what is inside”.
60. While they were watching the very nice plate placed here in the fellowship, in this same hall on a wedding day, I said, “Ok let me show you.”
61. I used spoon, touched on my tongue and it burnt immediately. I said, have you seen it? Carry this thing, go and pour it in the dustbin outside the fellowship. Then I warned whoever that did this should not try it again.
62. Later, those who saw when they put it came testifying. They wanted to put our Brother Emma Iwunor in trouble because when he came with the food, I asked him, “Bro. Emma Iwunor, are you the one they gave this thing to bring for me?”
63. He never knew that I have seen it ahead of time. Then the person who saw when they were turning the food with their hand asked, “I thought you said the food belongs to Daddy, why are you turning it with your hand?”
64. What they were turning with their hand was jollof rice. All happened here. Idolaters in the camp!
65. We are not alive by our own strength and power, it is God that is sustaining us. Who knows the amount of poison I have eaten in my family with My family members?
66. Because a lot of you come to me with impure motive and I know them because whenever I indict them, you do not see them again but those that have pure heart, they kneel down, they repent.
67. But those that have impure hearts, impure motives, they will fly. We are not here to display power. If we will display power, we will display power of what Christ has done in us, not the power of the Devil. Amen.

HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN
There are diabolic people among us. I said that at Nsukka. Today, Brethren at Nsukka, am I not vindicated?
2. Let me hear it. (You are vindicated)! Am I not vindicated? Has it not been confirmed publicly in a humiliating way? That Nsukka Brethren have been romancing with idol for over one year now concealed it, boasting of idols.
3. When Chukwunonso came here with the wife beaconing on me to touch the wife, I said, “No. Close that your wig, don’t touch it, I will speak to you with time.”
4. Fear gripped them and they ran away. I never heard anything; I never saw them again until she died. Before she died, she went blind.
5. Nsukka Brethren, am I bearing false witness? You said No sir!
6. Whoever God wants to kill, He will make blind and senseless. Almighty God is behind it. I said so to the husband. The husband came here last Sunday to fool himself and I fooled him as well.
7. I referred him to the chief idolater Abraham Paul, “Go to your brother, look at what he will tell you.”
8. While I was still on my way home, his wife died and he knew it not but they called me.
9. How can somebody born of a woman who is in this Faith when she was a spinster as a nurse at Eha-amufu, the husband was the one I cured of incurable sickness that defied all medications, the world can bear me witness.
10. Chukwunonso is still alive. The whole of Nsukka, Ehalumona can bear me witness that I cured an incurable sickness greater than HIV which prevent him from coming out.
11. He was always putting on sweater that will cover the head, the hands with hand glove. You dare not open his body. Doctors were scared.
12. If it is today, they will call it Ebola but I brought him closer to my side, seeing that doctors do not want to handle him, it came to me.
13. What did I use? The word of My mouth and the olive oil in My hand. I not only cured him, I restored his strength, restored everything, even his stature and then prospered his business.
14. Somebody nobody was collecting even water from his hand; they were now connecting business here and there. I continued shooting up him until he became a full man, bought a vehicle, living big with the family.
15. What did I receive in return? He went to Eha-amufu with the wife and imported the god of Ebonyi, the god of Eha-amufu to fight his opponent.
16. The god he brought didn’t kill the wife. The Almighty God slaughtered the wife for she was the one that inspired the husband to go after another god.
17. Another person that will die if he does not repent is Abraham Paul, who being an apostle saw the whole thing and kept quiet. The brother’s wife whom they are quarrelling with now, with the husband took council together, went to their own hometown and imported their own god.
18. While they were exchanging gods, they now consulted diabolic native doctors who prepared concoctions for them of all sorts. Then came the threat to life “You must die, I must do this, I must do that”.
19. The whole thing continued, Abraham Paul concealed all. There was killing fowl and goat, everything. Today who is the loser? The Son of Man? No sir!
20. Now, to avoid innocent people paying the price, I slammed an order. When Eha-amufu people came to jam Ehalumona people, there was a battle, a fight ensued in the compound between Eha-amufu people and their people. He concealed all, Chukwunonso concealed all.
21. Now, if I did not stop Brethren, an innocent fellow out of sheer sympathy may begin to make some statements, wild statements that may be provocative and he will pay dearly for offence he never committed.
22. Then who knows the extent they might have used the Name of The Son of Man (Apostle Peter Odoemena, Blessed be His Most Holy Name, Selah) even to threaten their opponent on a matter I knew not.
23. While we were talking about that, Enugu came with their own. It is the Pastor’s house where dead people now resurface to harass and intimidate the living wife, giving her packages of all sorts, sharing the bed with her and at the same time, the late mother of the late wife appearing, quarrelling, fuming against the marriage and things like that, and the Pastor is scared, the wife is equally scared.
24. The relatives now ran to an herbalist to find out the reason for all this. Yes, because he is now one of them for he denied us on the day of the marriage.
25. Hence, they could not have kept quiet when these things started happening. As we are talking about that one, the relations of Ifeanyi Eze Enugu came, teamed up together, carried their own money with his consent to find out from native doctors what might be responsible for this type of sickness, peradventure the wife might have transgressed the law of the land or the husband or the parents.
26. The prophecy this year said: “THERE IS NO TYPE OF STORY YOU WILL NOT HEAR THIS YEAR IN THE BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY”.
27. The stories have started fizzling in and I am here. As we are watching, it became the turn of Nasarawa last Sunday.
28. Nasarawa, the wife of the former Bishop or current Brother Elijah who died, on the day of her burial, we saw her strange picture on the casket. It is in our album.
29. Everybody was scared that somebody that died migrated and was perching on the casket, we captured her with our camera. I have it, it is in our Church album.
30. I told Bro. Elijah that this picture speaks volumes, time will vindicate. I asked him whether he had a hand in the death of the woman and he said no.
31. I said, “Ok we will watch. Last Sunday, they were seated in the fellowship as we are now, his daughter, aged 16 years, was equally in the fellowship.
32. Lo and behold the late mother appeared, live, came and sat by the side of the daughter, pleading with her to follow her home that she has been making this discussion over and over.
33. This time she came into the fellowship in the day, physical, sat down and was reasoning with the daughter. The Pastor was on the pulpit and Pastor Mike who came back newly, never knew the woman.
34. Members of the fellowship were fixing their eyes on the pulpit but the daughter was struggling with the mother there until the daughter sprang up from the seat and shouted: “I have told you, leave me alone! I am not following you, you are dead!”
35. The woman stood up, the congregation saw her as she moved to the door, two elderly mothers notably the wife of Teacher Nuhu, the mother of the wife of Pastor Christian was among the sisters that went after her, intending to grip her but she vanished.
36. You see consequences of idolatry for deep calleth deep. Because you have imported idols into your camp, you can now fellowship with idols, you can dine with them in your homes for you are the ones that invoked the spirit of the devil.
37. If you never touched any unclean thing, unclean spirit will never follow you. Now what happened? Instead of bringing the matter to me, he brought the matter to another Brother. Up till this hour he finds it difficult to call me.
38. The next thing is that he has settled with the elders. Elders of the land said it never happened in vain. They now in their own way carried money and everything, Let us go and ask why.”
39. How are the mighty fallen. Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon lest the heathens rejoice over us saying that our God has left us.
40. Our God is still with us. All these idols, Ashtaroth, Baal, you are importing into the camp, you are the ones to bear the consequences.
41. Who are the people importing these things? Strangers who gained prominence among us because of their long stay, who followed us from Egypt.
42. A good number of them were opposed to this Gospel, when they saw that we are winning the battle, they now subscribed.
43. I have never traced any sign of idolatry to any seasoned Elder that has been trustworthy from the very beginning.
44. I know those that have unflinching allegianceto The Almighty God who have vowed, placing their lives on the line to uphold the profession of their Faith without wavering unto the end. Who are ready to die in defence of their Faith.
45. For your Faith is your life. If you do not protect this Faith, this Faith can never protect you. The same measure you measure unto God, expect it, it is coming back to you because when you throw a football on the wall, you become the goalkeeper. Amen.

FLEE FROM IDOLS (4)
I believe with this, I have laid a small background, a small foundation that will help you to believe that I am HE.
2. Now, follow me as we go to the ancient scriptures.
3. Were you touched by the background in any form or shape? Bow down your head and talk to God.
4. Do not open your mouth, let your heart speak. Tear your heart and not your cloth for idolatry is a great evil, a dreaded evil God can never overlook. It caused God to destroy our forefathers.
5. He wrote it as a warning, as a learning unto us for we are living at a time when everything is coming to an end.
6. WHY MUST THIS IDOLATRY REAR UP ITS HEAD WHEN WE HAD ALREADY CONQUERED THE BATTLE, WHEN WE ARE EXPECTING OUR LONG PROMISED IMMORTAL BODIES, WHEN WE ARE EXPECTING OUR TRANSLATION AND THAT IS THE TIME THIS TYPE OF DISCOURAGING REPORTS ARE COMING.
7. ANYWAY, IF THESE THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN, HOW CAN THE PROPHECIES BE FULFILLED. IF YOU WANT TO ESCAPE GOD SAID IMMEDIATELY THERE REPENT, CHANGE YOUR MIND, TAKE A DECISION BINDING YOUR LIFE. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY OUT.
8. Gospel according to St. John chapter 13 from verse 9 through 18. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
9. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
10. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
11. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
12. Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
13. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
14. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
15. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
16. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. KJV
17. John 13:9-18, Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, wash not only my feet, but my hands and my head too!
18. Jesus said to him, anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you My disciples are clean, but not all of you… Amen.
19. When the word of God goes forth, it goes to everybody but God knows those to whom the word is sent. I never meant that all of you have gone awhoring after other gods or that all of you have become stubborn and stiff-necked.
20. But a good number of you have polluted yourselves with idols, with idolatrous practices, recognizing gods other than the Supreme God Who created you and I, giving your allegiance to things that are no God and yet coming before the Lord to say “We have been redeemed, we are cleansed.”
21. Many of you are clean already from idols but not all and God knows all those people that are not clean. How can you be clean when your conscience is not clean?
22. St. Paul said, “I worship God with a pure conscience before God and man,” when he stood before King Agrippa.
23. Can you stand before the Son of Man and say “I worship God, before Heaven and Earth, I worship God with pure conscience before God and man?”
24. If you cannot declare it, why are you expecting translation? If you go further to that St. John 13, Jesus said, “what I am doing now you cannot understand but hereafter.”
25. The greatest evil of God’s children has remained the evil of idolatry. From time to time, he will sprinkle water on them and make them clean.
26. A time came when Hezekiah noticed that even the priest had gone awhoring, he used pure water.
27. In the days of Moses, a time came he had to tell Aaron to ignite the censer. “Go and light up the censer otherwise no flesh shall be saved, let us stop this plague”.
28. Watching the way this plague started from January 2nd, 2018. I handled the message, two Sunday’s ago, I explained it, giving power to it. Look at what is happening.
29. If the plague is allowed to continue, in the next six months, what shall become of you? If the censer is not lighted, how many will survive the judgment?
30. Because the worst, the severest judgment is the judgment of the conscience and it is the worst torment also.
31. The torment of the conscience, you will see the person eating and looking lean, going to bed passing sleepless nights, from time to time becoming hostile to himself or herself and to people around him. Nobody knows the cause except the person who is under the torment of the conscience, torment of the Holy Spirit.
32. For the Bible said, “When the people abandoned God and went awhoring, even the Spirit of God tormented them.
33. The Spirit of God which is the Spirit of Truth started tormenting them, a silent punishment, a silent indictment which you suffer as an individual.
34. But oftentimes, you watch that such people under the torment will like everybody around them to become victims of their torment.
35. You caused your torment, you want everybody to be partakers of your torment, it is impossible. You cannot take paracetamol for another man’s sickness. Don’t!
36. If your ways are not right with God, go and amend your ways. Do not impose it on people around you! Becoming hostile, is it the solution?
37. That is why God has come to expose all of you for what you are. From the scriptures, you see yourself for what you really are.
38. “…For He knew who was going to betray Him; that was the reason He said, not all of you are clean.
39. So when He had finished washing their feet and had put on His garments and had sat down again, He said to them, do you understand what I have done to you? You call me the Teacher, Master and the Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is what I am.
40. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, Master, have washed your feet, you ought [it is your duty, you are under obligation, you owe it] to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you this as an example, so that you should do [in your turn] what I have done to you.
41. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master, and no one who is sent is superior to the one who sent him. If you know these things, blessed and happy and to be envied are you if you practice them if you act accordingly and really do them.
42. I am not speaking of and I do not mean all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats My bread with Me has raised up his heel against Me. (AMP). Amen.

FLEE FROM IDOLS (5)
I want to give all I have been saying a name, a topic which nobody has any right to change. The Topic I am going to address within My own timeframe here.
2. Other ministers are coming. I will give room for them. My Topic is FLEE FROM IDOLS.
3. Flee from idols. Nothing pollutes a child of God more than idolatry. The moment God labels you an idolater, you are gone. Do you know that money seekers are idolaters?
4. Check all that are all out to make money by any means, they are idolaters. Money is their god, that is why whatever money commands them to do, they will do it.
5. If you watch anybody who becomes stubborn, silly, unreasonable, arrogant because he has money, money is the person’s god. He is worshiping money. He can even hold that money and go hungry, hold that money and look tattered.
6. But whoever that uses money as a messenger, using it to serve humanity, it makes the person to be humble, meek, lowly, approachable and respectful. He can never dishonor anybody.
7. Wherever you hold money that makes you to dishonor people, that money is not from God, it makes you an idolater. Respect for God begins by respect for humanity.
8. You may say, “In what way am I an idolater?” In many ways God has seen you as an idolater.
9. 1st John 5:21 Amplified. Little children, keep yourselves from idols (false gods)…
10. Keep yourselves from idols, false gods. Keep yourselves from anything that will take first position in your heart except God. Even when God never gave us any law in Genesis 1, He commanded: “I am the Lord thy, God, only me shall ye worship, you shall not have any other god in semblance of anything that is in Heaven and on Earth.”
11. You worship Him with all your strength, all your life, all you are made up of. He said, “Remember I am a jealous, God thou shall not have another god before me or else I will consume you in the anger of my jealousy”.
12. From anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life. Amen so let it be. AMP.
13. Amen, so let it be. Anybody that has anything he places first in his life, that was why St. Paul said he will not marry because if a man marries, all his attention will be on the wife what he will be thinking about is how to please his wife and not how to please God.
14. The same is applicable to a woman. Once she gets married, what she places first as her God is the husband.
15. Have you seen that husband is not God, wife is not God, otherwise St. Paul would not have directed it that way, for a married man is constantly thinking of how to please the wife and the wife is constantly thinking on how to please the husband, which means placing useless things before God, using them as one.
16. The person will think that if she pleases her husband she has pleased God. Even when your husband does not worship God you will be promoting idolatry, all in the name of marriage.
17. I hope I am giving you harder truth? Yes sir! Is it not scriptural?
18. 1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. Amen. (Living Bible).
19. Keep away; did it say romance with it? Let the thought of God dominate your heart, be filled with the Holy Spirit, be filled with the Word of God at all times for this is the only way you can get idolatry away from your conscience, from your mind, idol worshipers!
20. We are continuing. Please take note of the scriptures. You may not have your Bible here, but take note of the scriptures. Do not say, “When I get home I will listen to the tape.” You are a liar!
21. You can never listen to the tape when you get home. You say I will get it in book form the book may not contain all I will say here.
22. 1 Corinthians 10:14-26 Therefore, my dearly beloved, shun…
23. Do what? “Shun”
24. Keep clear away from…
25. Keep clear away from…
26. “…avoid by flight if need be…”
27. Avoid by what? Flight. Where is your Bible (Bro. John Onyia)? You should have your own there is something in reading scriptures with pen in your hand. You can make remarks.
28. Another person is holding your Bible? Are you sure you have overcome? Because a step into Canaan somebody can make a ship-wreck.
29. You do not know the day God has come or will come your way this is why we do not avoid fellowship for you do not know the day God will deliver you from a spirit that has been dominating you and you know it not for you can be blind, poor and miserable yet you know it not.
30. You can be an idolater in the sight of God yet rendering God acceptable services yet God regarding you as idolater.
31. If the reason why you are bragging is because you go on errands, can you do so more than Nebuchadnezzar, Herod, Pilate and so on? Do you think God respects any man? God only respect those that respect Him.
32. Therefore my dearly beloved, shun, keep clear away from, avoid by flight if need be…
33. Avoid by flight if need be. If it will require you to have wings like birds, fly. Let it not be named among you even once.
34. If need be avoid by flight, do you know what it means to avoid by flight? Develop wings and fly.
35. Remember my topic. Get rid of idols, Flee from idols. All forms of idols it said anything and everything not minus.
36. I do not care the legislation, I do not care who legislated it to God it is an unrighteous legislation. You will say NO! It is an unrighteous decree made by your community, God said NO!
37. Take for instance as Bro. Ojiakor is, they will tell him that uzo iyi Umuoji is requesting some things from him. Does he have any business with it? No!
38. Whatever idols stipulate are for those that worshiping idol. Is it a lie? Obedience to idol is for idol worshipers. Can an idol which you do not have anything to do with make a request from you? It is only the idol you recognize and worship that will require your obedience, it will summon you.
39. Will I be worshiping God and an idol will summon me? Will I be in God and still be practicing the traditions of our people? God forbid. Idolaters that fill the camp, today is your day!
40. Get ready to fly. Emma Agu, develop wings now, you and Sam Agu, Simon, Mike Udo, Nsukka, Ugbene, Ukpata. That is what they are known for.
41. God is saying that you should fly otherwise God will not accept you. When you flee from all these things, God will make you His Sons and Daughters and He will be your God.
42. Until you flee from these things, you have no inheritance in Christ and in the life that Christ gives. There must be strong enmity in your heart against all forms of idol worship.
43. Do you think the Devil is happy with me? We are snatching you out from the lion’s grip, from the grip of the Devil.
44. Any sort of idolatry of loving or venerating anything more than God of what Loving…
45. of what? “Loving” that is cherishing. You recognize, you cherish, you love, you covert and then venerating comes in. Do you know what it takes to venerate before God? Veneration means bowing down before an idol, obedience to idol, fulfilling its demand so that it will not kill you.
46. It said “Get rid, fly, develop wings, run without looking back that is why you are different from others. That is where we were in time past but God has severed us from among them that we should be separate, a Holy people, a Royal Priesthood that offer sweet smelling sacrifice unto God, a people that is a called by the Name of God.
47. Let whosoever that is nameth by the Name of the Lord depart from iniquity. Iniquity is worshiping idol. Something you know you should not know, recognize, venerate, serve, having control and dominion even over your conscience.
48. Take for instance I eat a snake and my conscience will be telling me that it is idol, it then means I believe in idol and fear it. God forbid!
49. When I was prepared to marry My wife, My late Uncle you know him Nwa Dee Ogbo, a traditionalist of the first order, came to me, summoned the kindred. He said “Sunday, we are not opposed to your idea of getting married, your mates have married. That is all right. We never knew you could marry from far away. We thought you would have been around with us as the first son and marry around from our people as it is always our manner.”
50. I said, “Ok thank you very much. But I have too many people, firstborn, that never married from our area. Is that wrong?”
51. He said, “No, my fear is I do not want you to go there in Anambra and bring a woman that is osu (outcast).”
52. I said, “Osu? Ok I am looking for an osu woman, and if I do not see osu, I will never stop. It is now my target! I will send people to go and look for any woman that is osu.”
53. This man went out, he said “God forbid, this Church has made this man mad, this man is running mad! Ohaeri, have you heard what He is saying? Sunday said He will marry an osu”.
54. But they were the people that married osu for every heathen is an outcast.
55. Look at Ephesians chapter 2 from verse 19 through 20 Amplified.
56. Bro. Ojiakor if you read is it a crime? All of you are looking at the people who will read. Ok your voice. Joe Ogbuka are you not a Lawyer? Ifeanyi Enemou are you not holding Bible? Are you not a Lawyer?
57. I want to see all of you scrambling to read and allow me to hush you down. Is there anybody that owns here? Does this place belong to anybody’s father? We all have equal inheritance here. So do not make yourselves strangers in your father’s house otherwise we will treat you as such.
58. Nobody is a new comer here. We are only abhorring idol worshipers, strangers.
59. Eph 2:19-20 Therefore you are no longer outsiders ,exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens, but you now share citizenship with the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God’s [own] household. You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone. (AMP)
60. Eph 2:19-21 So then, you Gentiles are not foreigners or strangers any longer; you are now citizens together with God’s people and members of the family of God. You, too, are built upon the foundation laid by the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus .(GNT)
61. You are no longer outcasts, you are now fellow citizens together with the Saints of God in the Family of God and we are built upon the same foundation of the Apostles and Prophets.
62. Ephesians 2:19-26. Therefore you are no longer outsiders ,exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens, but you now share citizenship with the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself) and you belong to God’s [own] household. You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone. (AMP)
63. Consecrated and set apart for Himself.Why do you mingle with demons? Why do you invite demons into your fellowship, into your families because these spirits you are invoking are demonic spirits. These are the things you are using to threaten your children, threaten your wives, threaten your fellow brethren, aiming at intimidating and harassing them, exalting the fame of demons more than the Fame of God.
64. Mad people! Do we have shame at all? After 1783 years, somebody is still worshiping idol if you eat snake, snail they will tell you that you will cleans the land.
65. Some are worshiping pear, some say that they do not eat snake, they will tell you that they worship mushroom, some do not eat grasscutter.
66. What is more, if you want to marry your parents will tell you not to marry the woman because she is an outcast. If someone is beautiful, they will say she is an outcast.
67. If you marry an ugly lady, wahala, you marry a beautiful lady, they will say she is an outcast. What made her to be an outcast?
68. An outcast is one that does not worship God because all his sacrifices are offered to idols and God said, “Have nothing to do with idol. Flee, run away if possible fly.”
69. The gift of idols does not stand the test of time. An idol worshiper lives in a tattered house. Is there any of his children that is useful? Is he progressive?
70. You will see crisis, diseases, everything because they are under the torment of the conscience.
71. God must possess His people. He must be God over us.
72. 1 Corinthians 10:14-26. Therefore, my dearly beloved, shun, keep clear away from, avoid by flight if need be) any sort of idolatry (of loving or venerating anything more than God). I am speaking as to intelligent (sensible) men.
73. Think over and make up your minds for yourselves] about what I say. I appeal to your reason and your discernment in these matters.
74. The cup of blessing [of wine at the Lord’s Supper] upon which we ask [God’s] blessing, does it not mean that in drinking it, we participate in and share a fellowship (a communion) in the blood of Christ (the Messiah)?
75. The bread which we break, does it not mean [that in eating it] we participate in and share a fellowship (a communion) in the body of Christ? For we no matter how numerous we are, are one body…
76. No matter how numerous we are globally, worldwide, one spirit, one body, one God, one family.
77. Because we all partake of the one Bread the One Whom the communion bread represents. Consider those physically people of Israel. Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners of the altar [united in their worship of the same God]?
78. What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is intrinsically changed by the fact and amounts to anything or that an idol itself is a living thing?
79. No, I am suggesting that what the pagans sacrifice they offer in effect to demons (to evil spiritual powers) and not to God at all…
80. Whatever the pagans offer, whatever they sacrifice, they offer to demons not God. You may be here thinking that you are serving God when you are serving demon because your heart is not cleansed.
81. Idol is still in your heart, all the dance you danced here, you never danced to God, even the hand you clapped because any sacrifice offered by a pagan is offered to the Devil and not to God and the devil accepts it.
82. If he calls God, the God he is referring to is the devil. What is deceiving you is that he called God the Creator of Heavens and Earth but you do not know that the God he is referring to is the devil.
83. 1 Corinthians 10:14-26. So, dear friends, carefully avoid idol worship of every kind. You are intelligent people. Look now and see for yourselves whether what I am about to say is true.
84. When we ask the Lord’s blessing upon our drinking from the cup of wine at the Lord’s Table, this means, doesn’t it, that all who drink it are sharing together the blessing of Christ’s blood?
85. And when we break off pieces of the bread from the loaf to eat there together, this shows that we are sharing together in the benefits of his body. No matter how many of us there are, we all eat from the same loaf, showing that we are all parts of the one body of Christ. And the Jewish people, all who eat the sacrifices, are united by that act.
86. What am I trying to say? Am I saying that the idols to whom the heathen bring sacrifices are really alive and are real gods, and that these sacrifices are of some value? No! Not at all.
87. What I am saying is that those who offer food to these idols are united together in sacrificing to demons, certainly not to God…
88. “They are united together with demons who they offer their sacrifice, certainly not united in Christ our Saviour”.
89. Can you be worshiping idol and come to the House of God to receive blessing? Amen. To God be the Glory. The Cloud is about to sit down.
90. And I don’t want any of you to be partners with demons when you eat the same food, along with the heathen…
91. “I don’t want any of you to be a partners with demons”. So if you see a Brother, a Sister that is still noticing, recognizing, loving, appreciating, revering, venerating idol in any form or shape, extolling the qualities, the prowess of the gods of their family, run away from that person.
92. If it is your husband, divorce him, have nothing to do with that man. If it is your wife, divorce her! If it is your parents, leave the house for them and find a comfortable place to stay so that you be not be a partakers of their evil.
93. 1 Corinthians 8:7 Amplified Nevertheless, not all believers possess this knowledge…
94. “Not all possess in this knowledge I am imparting to all of you for there are some that are accustomed to recognizing, loving, cherishing, appreciating and extending, elongating even the duration of idol on Earth when God is trying to stamp out idol, they are experts in perpetuating knowledge of idol for it is trapped in their conscience”.
95. Nevertheless, not all believers possess this knowledge. But some, through being all their lives until now accustomed to thinking of idols as real as living still consider the food [offered to an idol] as that sacrificed to an [actual] god; and their weak consciences become defiled and injured if they eat it ( Amplified).
96. Did it say everybody? No sir! “Some all through the lives until now are accustomed to thinking of idols as spirits that are alive”.
97. Up till now they believe in idol and yet they are sitting down here clapping hands. Is our God a just God?
98. Going by the standard of judgment, who is free? Who is free? Who is not rebellious now? Who is not a rebel now? Who is not an idolater now? Who is not a mocker? Have you seen how narrow it is?
99. When you repent and believe the Gospel, ye shall be exculpated, exonerated, acquitted, discharged, set free from God’s impending judgment. Glory be to God in the highest. Amen.

FEAR GOD! (1)
First Corinthians 8:7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. (KJV)
2. Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations,
3. and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed) — [all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death. (AMP)
4. If you believe it say Amen. Amen! Before, if you read your eyes will be focused on the heathens without knowing that you are the one.
5. Check all that were mentioned here in the book of Revelation and know whether you are free. You said God judge me, God said He does not want you to appear before His judgment throne but because of your stubbornness, you claim you are more righteous than God, check all that were mentioned here and tell me where you escaped.
6. Let me see who will blame the other here today. Run for your life while I run for mine. All the people that think God does not know anything, today they will know that God just overlooked them but He has something to say.
7. Rev 22:15 “Outside the city are those who have strayed away from God, and the sorcerers and the immoral and murderers and idolaters, and all who love to lie, and do so. (Living Bible)
8. Rev 22:15 But without are the dogs and those who practice sorceries (magic arts) and impurity [the lewd, adulterers] and the murderers and idolaters and everyone who loves and deals in falsehood (untruth, error, deception, cheating). (AMP)
9. The same punishment awaits all of them. If you believe it say Amen. Amen! We are continuing. Who made the statement if you read further? Verse 16 .
10. Revelation 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent My messenger (angel) to you to witness and to give you assurance of these things for the churches (assemblies).
11. I am the Root (the Source) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and brilliant Morning Star. (AMP) Amen!
12. Have you now known the source? No other source but the Resurrected Body Who is vested with the power to judge the living and the dead and who judges in fairness and equity who does not respect anybody’s face for what he is, whatever he is, but respects only His Word and whoever that doeth His will, the same is made acceptable unto Him.
13. You will know the truth, the truth will set you free. Let’s go back to the scriptures.
14. Isaiah 57:5-8 Living Bible is what I want and do not miss where I am quoting again. It is lack of practice that made you not to know the position of the verses as Pastor as you are (Pastor Dan).
15. Isaiah 57:5-7 You worship your idols with great zeal…
16. You do what? You worship your idols with great zeal. Idol worshipers have great zeal in worshiping idols more than God. Is it not true? It is! Thank you sir! Papa is it true? Yes sir! “They worship their idols with great zeal”.
17. They respect idol. If it says nobody should come out today, idol worshippers will not come out. They give undue reverence, veneration to worshiping idols than they do to God. The type of fear you instill in your children with the god of your land, if you still the Spirit of God which is the Word of God in them will your family be the way it is?
18. Is there any idol worshiper that has clear conscience? That is why their children are hooligans and many of you at old age find it difficult to behave aright, reason aright because they have been given over to idols.
19. You worship your idols with great zeal beneath the shade of every tree and slay your children as human sacrifices down in the valleys, under overhanging rocks.
20. Your gods are the smooth stones in the valleys. You worship them, and they, not I, are your inheritance. Does all this make me happy? You have committed adultery…
21. You have done what? Committed adultery. Have you seen it here? God regarded idol worshiping by men and women as adultery.
22. Thus, when you hear that all adulterers have their portion in the lake of fire, it is for both man, woman and infant.
23. Girls, boys are now worshiping idols because they are searching for power. Pastors are searching for power, ministers are searching for power.
24. Anything idol tells them to do, they will do it. Anything it tells them to abhor, they will abhor it with great zeal. Women who are searching for husband now visit shrines. The same is applicable to men who are searching for wives.
25. Those whom are all out to make money are idolaters, those who want their business to be flourishing visit shrines. Since you are all saying it is true, who are those perpetrating this evil? Will it not be found in our midst?
26. They are the people that called themselves children of God, those that are consecrated, set aside for the service of the Lord they now worship idols with great zeal in secret. They even go to rivers.
27. They will carry a Ghana-must-go bag, put hen and other things required for sacrifice in it, unknown to you that he is going to a river to offer sacrifice to idol.
28. Some will say that the wife they married came from the river; their husband came from the river. Why not allow the woman who came from the river to go back to where she came from. May God help us!
29. You have committed adultery on the tops of the mountains, for you worship idols there, deserting me Behind closed doors you set your idols up and worship someone other than me.
30. This is adultery, for you are giving these idols your love instead of loving me. (Living Bible).
31. He does not have any regard for God. The fear in him is the fear of idol so that idol will not kill him. He is only calling God for calling sake.
32. After visiting idols, they will come and dance o nma nma to God; this one will tell you “it is true”, “underline”.
33. Underline what? Do you think God is not seeing? You must come to a point where you will declare Salvation is by Grace and Grace alone. And under this knowledge, exposure, intelligence, it has become clear He will save only those He wants to save, those He can manage their affairs not everybody because we have extremists among us, who are not ready to change one bit.
34. Even as I am talking, instead of thinking of how to come out to declare themselves and destroy all they have hidden under trees, what they have hidden inside their pillows, inside mattresses, inside the roof, instead of them to bring them out and burn them, they will be devising a new way that will be better.
35. Why is it very much pronounced? This is the age where people mingle with each other without discerning spirit. My people mingle with the heathens and learn their evil ways through conversations.
36. Evil communication spoils good ideas, good philosophies, good trait. Whatever he learns from the heathens, he will practice it.
37. If you say something, the person he will use as an instance is one who does not know God because he mingles with the person. Amen.

FEAR GOD! (2)
I go further now to show you the origin. Hosea 4:17-19. Stay away from her, for she is wedded to idolatry. “The men of Israel finish up their drinking bouts, and off they go to find some whores. Their love for shame is greater than for honor.”
2. Therefore, a mighty wind shall sweep them away; they shall die in shame because they sacrifice to idols. (Living Bible)
3. Idolaters will die shameful death. God will smite them like a mighty wind their places will be seen no more.
4. Is it not a shameful death that somebody who sat down with us here as a spinster, after many years got married as a sister, raised seven children in the Faith and died a shameful death in the hands of idols and you want The Son of Man and The Saints of God to come and show pity, to come and bear the responsibility?
5. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO I AM GO AND ASK ABOUT ME. ANY DAY YOU KNOW WHO I AM, IF YOU MEET ME ON THE WAY, YOU WILL MELT. YOU NEVER SEE ME YET OH! THE FACE WEY YOU DEY SEE NA FRIENDLY ONE. IF IT TURNS THE OTHER WAY, THERE IS NO MAN THAT SEES IT WITHOUT MELTING.
6. THOSE THAT ARE WRITING TEXTS IN RESPECT OF THIS MATTER, STOP! NO PLEA FOR ANYBODY THAT IS IN THE COURT OF JUSTICE UNTIL THE JUDGE HAS FINISHED WITH THE CASE AND NOBODY HAS ANY RIGHT TO DISCUSS IT.
7. IF YOU DISCUSS A CASE THAT IS PENDING IN A LAW COURT, YOU ARE COMMITTING CONTEMPT. NO DISCUSSION!
8. I WARNED MY WIFE, “REFRAIN FROM ANSWERING ALL CALLS, BE SELECTIVE WHILE ANSWERING CALLS FOR THE HOUR HAS COME WHEN WICKED PEOPLE CAN CAUSE US TO ERR. WHEN THOSE WE LOVE CAN CAUSE US TO ERR.”
9. WE LOVE THEM THINKING WE ARE ONE WHEN WE NEVER KNEW WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SECRET. THAT MOST OF THE THINGS THEY DO WERE AIMED AT BLINDING US SO THAT WE WILL BE ON THEIR SIDE.
10. THERE IS SOMETHING WE CALL PERJURY. WHEN YOU COMMIT A CRIME AND YOU KNOW YOU MUST BE PUNISHED, YOU GO AHEAD OF TIME TO SCANDALISE THE PERSON YOU OFFENDED KNOWING THAT HE MUST MAKE THE THING PUBLIC SO THAT BY THE TIME PEOPLE WILL HEAR ABOUT IT, THEY WILL NOT BELIEVE IT. THEY WILL SAY IT IS VICTIMIZATION.
11. I KNOW MORE THAN THAT. THAT IS WHY I CAME UP WITH MY OWN IDEA CRITICISE ME IF YOU CAN, DESTRUCTIVELY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY, IT IS YOUR RIGHT. I WILL STILL EXERCISE MY OWN CONSCIENCE THE WAY I WANT, THE TIME I WANT AND WHEN I WANT IT.
12. I AM FEARED, DREADED FOR ONE THING; I DO MY THING IN MY OWN WAY. I DO IT WHENEVER I WANT TO DO IT, THE TIME I WANT TO DO IT AND THE WAY I WANT TO DO IT.
13. YOU CAN NEVER TELL ME THE WAY I WILL PUNISH YOU FOR YOUR EVIL. YOU CANNOT TELL ME THE TIME. YOU CAN NEVER REMIND ME OF IT FOR I DO NOT FORGET LIKE THAT.
14. WHEN YOU WERE COMMITTING YOUR CRIMES, DID YOU INVITE ME? DID YOU REMEMBER THAT I EXISTED?
15. Today is another day. Why the calmness? I am usurping another man’s time, I have over stayed.
16. Hosea 14:8-9 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols?...
17. “Ephraim shall say what have to do anymore with idol”. If you are a child of Ephraim, if you are an Ephraimite using your knowledge and understanding as intelligent people, discerning what is happening at the Hour, I mean this is your time to say, “From today, what have I to do with idols again?”
18. Ephraim shall say that when their eyes of understanding got illuminated and they notice that they are giving allegiance to something that does not exist, manmade, something that cannot give them Eternal Life neither can it give them protection or peace.
19. Ephraim shall say I have regretted the years I worshiped in vanity, trusting and confiding in things that are not God.
20. Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered him and will regard and watch over him; I am like a green fir or cypress tree; with Me is the fruit found which is to nourish you. Who is wise, that he may understand these things?
21. Prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the Lord are right and the uncompromisingly just shall walk in them, but transgressors shall stumble and fall in them (AMP).
22. “The ways of the Lord are right and the uncompromisingly just shall walk in the ways of The Lord”. A compromiser cannot walk n this way.
23. Zechariah 10:12 The Lord says, “I will make my people strong with power from me! They will go wherever they wish, and wherever they go they will be under my personal care.” (Living Bible)
24. The Lord says, “I will make my own people strong with power from Me!” Not from the devil.
25. They will go wherever they wish…
26. You will go wherever you wish.
27. And wherever they go they will be under my personal care.”
28. Wherever they find themselves, they will be under My personal care. Why then should you be afraid of idol that does not exist when God is in-charge of you, is in control on the high way, on the street, in the work places, in the kitchen in the schools, in the colleges, no matter where you are, God personally is in-charge.
29. Why giving your veneration to idol? Who has the idol protected? Who are you going to look for in the house of a native doctor? What are you going to look for in a shrine?
30. Since God is with you, who can be against you? If God is with us who can be against us? Nobody!
31. Why should the heathens rage and the nations imagine vain things? I want you to see that what you are afraid of does not exist. Amen.

THE GODS OF THE
NATIONS ARE LIFELESS IDOLS
Let me introduce the gods of the nations. The gods of the nations is what I want to introduce now.
2. Psalms 96:5-6. For the gods of other nations are merely idols…
3. The gods of other nations are merely idols. The god of every community, every family outside the family of Christ for every family in Heaven and on Earth must be named after Christ.
4. If a family is not in Christ, it is in the devil. The god of that family is idol. That is why my father asked them where they kept the idol they said both the cock and goats have destroyed all.
5. They said he should give them money so that they will go and buy a new one. I said, “So it can be bought with money?”
6. They later went to market, bought them and they were tied together. He asked, “Is it this thing you bought from the market that has been causing disagreement all this while? ok.”
7. He collected it, brought it out, poured fuel on it and burnt it. They purchased it with money. They purchased the mask, cloth, etc.
8. Is there anything used by a masquerade that is not purchased with money? Is there anything in the house of a native doctor that is not purchased with money? He is only putting on those things to instill fear in you. There is no life in them.
9. For the gods of other nations are merely idols but our God made the heavens! (LB)
10. Psalms 96:5 For all the gods of the nations are lifeless idols…
11. Are what? Lifeless idols. Read it along with me. “Faith cometh by hearing, hearing the word of God”.
12. When you receive the truth, it sets you free from the powers of idol you harboured in your conscience which do not exist.
13. For all the gods of the nations are lifeless idols, but the Lord made the heavens (AMP).
14. Psalms 115:4-8 Their gods are merely manmade things of silver and of gold…. Their gods are what? “Only manmade things” They will buy calabash, fowl, etc. they will go to a mechanic workshop to get condemn oil they will rub on those things they bought in the market, they will go to Hausa market, Yoruba market and purchase all the things that would make people to be frightened, both the mask, the head of a cow, the bone of a fish, etc.
15. They will hang them in the shrine; that is why an idol worshiper has bad odour, his surroundings is dirty. Does he look neat? No sir! Does the Devil look neat in appearance? No sir! He is only doing all those things to instill fear in people.
16. Their gods are merely manmade things of silver and of gold. They can’t talk or see…
17. They cannot talk nor see.
18. …despite their eyes and mouths! Nor can they hear, nor smell, nor use their hands or feet, nor speak! And those who make and worship them are just as foolish as their idols are. (LB)
19. Those who make and worship them are just as foolish as their idols are. Every man must resemble the God he worships. The Bible said you resemble the God you worship.
20. The reason why the word of God is coming forth is to destabilize all the works of the Devil in your life, so that the fear of what does not exist will depart from you so that you will worship God acceptably so that whenever you die, you will rejoice with the Saints.
21. Whether you are dying or living, let it be in Christ so that you will not die like the wife of Chukwunonso who God rejected her corpse, the Saints ran away. When she will be buried that is the time you will see something. Amen.
22. Psalms 115:4-8The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
23. They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
24. They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither can they make a sound with their throats. They who make idols are like them; so are all who trust in and lean on them. (AMP)
25. Psalms 135:14-18 For Jehovah will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants…
26. For Jehovah will do what? Vindicate His people. The Lord shall judge and vindicate His people.
27. There must be a separation between those that worship God and those that worship him not for the camp of God’s people must be separated from the camp of the ungodly. If you believe it say Amen. “Amen”
28. And God will judge His servants on the extent they have separated themselves and will delay the judgment a while to enable them tidy things up for many of them are guilty of being polluted.
29. They polluted themselves with idols through compromise. Some compromise to please their husband, some compromise to please their wife, some compromise to please the community. You polluted yourselves. I am coming to something.
30. For Jehovah will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.
31. The God who we worship shall judge His people, will vindicate His people, have compassion on His Servants.
32. The heathen worship idols of gold and silver made by men- idols with speechless mouths, sightless eyes, and ears that cannot hear; they cannot even breathe. Those who make them become like them!
33. Those that make them become like them, inanimate objects.
34. Those who make them become like them! And so do all who trust in them! (LB).
35. And so do all who trust in them! I told you that today is a day of total deliverance, total freedom, total redemption to as many as will pay heed. You will say bye-bye to idols in all communications today and stamp all appearances of idol out of your family life, then God will accept you. Amen.
10
LET YOUR FEAR BE THE FEAR OF THE LORD
I love God for one thing. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Don’t be teamed with those who do not love the Lord…
2. Never associate yourself, never team up with anybody man or woman, infant, no matter who he is, husband or wife.
3. Don’t ever team up with anybody that does not love the Lord because if he loves the Lord with all his heart, with all his strength, with all his might, with all that is in him, where is the position for the recognition of idol?
4. That you are recognizing and venerating idol is a sure sign that you hate the Lord and the Lord will hate you with perfect hatred. That is why I said Abraham Paul and company should steer clear. They should not come into the gathering of the Saints otherwise they may meet something greater than them.
5. My righteousness has come forth, My judgment has come forth.
6. Don’t be teamed with those who do not love the Lord. For what do the people of God have in common with the people of sin? How can light live with darkness?
7. And what harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a Christian be a partner with one who doesn’t believe?
8. And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For you are God’s temple, the home of the living God…
9. For you are God’s temple the home of the living God. Can you imagine God making a human being His home, His Abode the creator of Heaven and earth and we abuse it.
10. And God has said of you, “I will live in them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.”…
11. I will be there God, they shall be My people. Not the people of the devil.
12. That is why the Lord has said, “Leave them; separate yourselves from them…
13. Do what? Leave them, separate yourselves from them.
14. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you…
15. Don’t touch their filthy things, I will welcome you.
16. And be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters”(Living Bible).
17. Put your hand together. Sitting down here today are people who thought they have already been given welcome by God. They never knew they were out there as strangers.
18. They thought romancing with God means acceptance; they do not know that God can never bypass His word that to be compassionate is to do the will of God. That God has been exercising longsuffering over them, expecting that they will come back to their senses, repent and live, for God has no interest in the death of a sinner rather He wants him to repent and live.
19. He has been enduring them all this while. Today is the day of final endurance because after hearing this expository teaching and you still harden your heart against it, it is bye bye forever and ever. Truly the devil will welcome you.
20. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers do not make mismated alliances with them or come under a different yoke with them, inconsistent with your faith.
21. For what partnership have right living and right standing with God with iniquity and lawlessness? Or how can light have fellowship with darkness?
22. What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial [the devil]? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? What agreement [can there be between a temple of God and idols?
23. For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them…
24. Even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them.
25. …and will walk in and with and among them…
26. And will walk in and with and among them. Is it not fulfilling? We are here to fulfill scriptures.
27. And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
28. You must come out from among them and be ye separate. God will welcome you as His sons and daughters and He will be God over you.
29. So, come out from among unbelievers, and separate sever yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor, And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty (AMP).
30. If you don’t turn the pages the same way you count money in the bank I will deal with you (Bro. Ngosike).
31. Job 28:28And this is what he says to all mankind…
32. This is what God says to all mankind.
33.
34. ‘Look, to fear the Lord is true wisdom…
35. To fear the Lord is what? True Wisdom.
36. …to forsake evil is real understanding.
37. Job 28:28 And this is what he says to all mankind ‘Look, to fear the Lord is true wisdom, to forsake evil is real understanding.
38. Did he say to fear idol?
39. Psalm 111:10 How can men be wise? The only way to begin is by reverence for God. For growth in wisdom comes from obeying his laws. Praise his name forever. (LB)
40. Your problem is that you do not even know the location of the books in the Bible (Bro. Ngosike).
41. Proverbs 8:13 If anyone respects and fears God, he will hate evil. For wisdom hates pride, arrogance, corruption, and deceit of every kind. (LB)
42. Proverbs 14:26-28 Reverence for God gives a man deep strength; his children have a place of refuge and security.
43. Reverence for the Lord is a fountain of life; its waters keep a man from death. A growing population is a king’s glory; a dwindling nation is his doom. (LB)
44. Proverbs 29:25 Fear of man is a dangerous trap, but to trust in God means safety. (LB)
45. On this note, I invite Apostle Kelechi to the pulpit. Let your fear not be the fear of man, let it not be the fear of idol.
46. Let your fear be the fear of the Lord for if God is with you, no man can do you any harm, no idol exists.
47. Idol exists only in the mind, it does not exist in the mind of children of God. Thank you. Amen.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF RECOGNIZING IDOLS
BY APOSTLE KELECHI UWAKWE
11
THE CONSEQUENCES OF RECOGNIZING IDOLS
Remain blessed Brethren. Run away from idols for idols provoke God to the highest. If you can cast your mind back God did not accuse the people of Israel in Egypt when He had not brought them out and revealed Himself to them about idols.
2. He did not accuse them of anything, He did not accuse Abraham of idol as long as Abraham was in Babylon. Joshua did not accuse the people of God about idol because their father was in Babylon.
3. It was when God had brought them out, displayed His majesty and power among them, circulate it to the whole world and He warned them of the idols of the nation where they were living in. That they should never worship idol of other nations, they should never enquire about it for He the Almighty God Who brought them out of slavery.
4. And at any given time God saw idol in the midst of His people, He would frown at it from the Old Testament down to the New Testament. 2 Kings 16:10-16. Pay serious attention here. This King Ahaz, God made him king over Israel, protected him, see what he did in return.
5. 2 Kings 16:10-17 King Ahaz now went to Damascus to meet with King Tiglath-pileser, and while he was there he noticed an unusual altar in a heathen temple.
6. He jotted down its dimensions and made a sketch and sent it back to Uriah the priest with a detailed description.
7. Uriah built one just like it by following these directions and had it ready for the king, who, upon his return from Damascus, inaugurated it with an offering. The king presented a burnt offering and a grain offering, poured a drink offering over it, and sprinkled the blood of peace offerings upon it.
8. Then he removed the old bronze altar from the front of the Temple it had stood between the Temple entrance and the new altar, and placed it on the north side of the new altar. He instructed Uriah the priest to use the new altar for the sacrifices of burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, and the offerings of the people, including their drink offerings.
9. The blood from the burnt offerings and sacrifices was also to be sprinkled over the new altar. So the old altar was used only for purposes of divination.”
10. The old bronze altar,” he said, “will be only for my personal use.” Uriah the priest did as King Ahaz instructed him (LB).
11. This King went to another land and learnt their evil ways. Just as the Lord said “My people mingle with the heathen and learn their wicked ways.”
12. There are consequences in recognizing idols and obeying their voice. When you recognize and idol and obey its voice, you have roped yourself.
13. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6In this matter, then, of eating food offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing has no real existence and that there is no God but one…. “
14. We know that an idol is nothing, it has no real existence”
15. The Son of Man: Yes sir! It is made with the mouth, it is made with hand. It only takes a fool to worship idol; you are afraid of Something that does not exist.
16. Apostle Kelechi: we know that there is only one God.
17. For although there may be so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many of them, both of gods and of lords and masters, Yet for us there is only one God (AMP).
18. In this Bridal Faith, there is only one God. There may be many gods in the land, many masters in the land, people worship them in different ways but to us in this Faith of Christ revealed in our own day, there is only one God who has made Himself known to us, who has revealed Himself to us, we recognize Him as a human being. We have seen His supernatural power.
19. The Son of Man: He has eyes and He can see. He has mouth and He talks. He breaths, He instructs, He protects, His worshipers are like Him.
20. He has wisdom, He has understanding. His worshipers have wisdom and understanding.
21. Do not change the Topic it is still: “Have nothing to do with idols,” “Flee from idols,” total liberation, total deliverance.
22. Acts 26:16-18 But arise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, that I might appoint you to serve as My minister and to bear witness both to what you have seen of Me and to that in which I will appear to you,
23. Choosing you out, selecting you for Myself and delivering you from among this Jewish people and the Gentiles to whom I am sending you.
24. To open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may thus receive forgiveness and release from their sins and a place and portion among those who are consecrated and purified by faith in Me. (AMP).
25. You see the purpose of Christ revealing Himself to us? It is to deliver us from the power of Satan, from the power of darkness, bringing us into the light that we might receive forgiveness of sin among those that are sanctified by the Faith that is in Christ.
26. Acts 26:18 to open their eyes to their true condition so that they may repent and live in the light of God instead of in Satan’s darkness, so that they may receive forgiveness for their sins and God’s inheritance along with all people everywhere whose sins are cleansed away, who are set apart by faith in me.'(LB)
27. You see that is the only purpose which He has fulfilled in our midst. For somebody going out to inquire of the devil, it is a provoking action to God. There was a king that did it see 2 Kings 1: 2-4.
28. 2 Kings 1:2-4 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
29. But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel… “
30. Is it not because there is not a God in Israel”
31. that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? Now therefore thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed (KJV).
32. You see the consequences of recognizing idol? The Son of Man: He left the God of Israel and went to consult an idol so that it will tell him the reason why he fell down.
33. Is that not idol worship? It is sir! If someone fell down, an idol will be consulted. If someone dies in a river, an idol will be consulted. That is why it is being said that an Igbo man does not die in vain. If he dies in old age, an idol will be consulted in order to know what killed him.
34. After consulting idol, the person will still go to Church and sit down. He will tell you that Church does not reach that side.
35. Somebody must be saved in this fellowship whether we like it or not. Somebody must get Salvation from here. Amen! God can never labour in vain. I am sure and certain”.
36. Deuteronomy 12:30-31 Don’t follow their example in worshiping their gods.
37. “Don’t follow the heathens in worshiping their gods”.
38. The Son of Man: are we paying attention?
39. Do not ask, ‘How do these nations worship their gods?‘
40. “Do not ask, ‘How do these nations worship their gods” it does not concern you and then go and worship as they do! You must not insult the Lord your God like that! These nations have done horrible things that he hates, all in the name of their religion. They have even roasted their sons and daughters in front of their gods (LB).
41. You cannot worship the devil without killing your children.
42. The Son of Man: You cannot worship the devil without killing your children or your parents.
43. Apostle Kelechi: or mortgage your own life.
44. The Son of Man: our Brother Uche Egbema, idol worshipers killed his mother-in-law and ate the corpse with plantain, pepper and oil. They were eating it like suya until they almost ate up the corpse. They did it to appease the idol and also for their charm to be active.
45. Look at him here, that was how they ate the corpse of his mother-in-law. These people that were eating the corpse of an old woman until they were caught by people, are such people human beings?
46. An idol worshiper is like idol. God is creating enmity in the hearts of the believers against all forms of idolatry.
47. Apostle Kelechi: as long as you are a seed of God, God cannot take it lightly with you when you worship idol. If you a seed of God and God has called you His own and you turned back to worship idol, He will deal with you in a great way.
48. 1 Kings 21:20-26 When Ahab saw Elijah, he said, “Have you caught up with me, my enemy?”
49. Yes, I have,” Elijah answered. “You have devoted yourself completely to doing what is wrong in the Lord’s sight. So the Lord says to you, ‘I will bring disaster on you…
50. “I will bring disaster to you because you have brought evil into the house of God”.
51. I will do away with you and get rid of every male in your family, young and old alike. Your family will become like the family of King Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the family of King Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have stirred up my anger by leading Israel into sin.’
52. And concerning Jezebel, the Lord says that dogs will eat her body in the city of Jezreel. Any of your relatives who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and any who die in the open country will be eaten by vultures.”
53. There was no one else who had devoted himself so completely to doing wrong in the Lord’s sight as Ahab — all at the urging of his wife Jezebel.
54. He committed the most shameful sins by worshiping idols, as the Amorites had done, whom the Lord had driven out of the land as the people of Israel advanced. (GNT)
55. The Son of Man: A woman can lure her husband into idolatry; a man can lure his wife into idolatry. When we read, try to meditate.
56. This time Jezebel forced Ahab into idolatry, Ahab forced Israel into idolatry it became a chain reaction.
57. Apostle Kelechi: when Jacob was about to come to the father’s land, he told his wife, they agreed to go with him. Along the way, Rachael stole the family god of her father and Rachael was accusing Jacob of stealing her family god.
58. Jacob said ok you are free to search my house. You see Rachael hid it under a pillow and sat on it. When her father searched the whole house, he came to her room, she said “Daddy, please take it easy. I am in my monthly period. I cannot stand up, I am pregnant I cannot come to greet you”.
59. At the end Jacob became annoyed. But immediately they want to serve God, Jacob told everybody “Now I am going to Bethel to serve God, give me all the gods you have hidden within you.
60. The Son of Man: Amen. Use the same Living Bible and read Zechariah 10:12. Zechariah 10:12The Lord says, “I will make my people strong with power from me! They will go wherever they wish, and wherever they go they will be under my personal care.” (LB) Good.
61. Apostle Kelechi: So, immediately they gave Jacob all these idols including the one Rachael hid under her pant, Jacob took it and hid it under an oak tree, told them to wash themselves and clean themselves and they went to Bethel to serve God.
62. The scriptures said “The fear of the Lord descended upon Jacob, nobody rose up against him”.
63. No attack was meted out to Jacob until he reached Bethel and erected an altar unto the God of his father, Abraham and Isaac. Immediately you get rid of idol in your life, you will see the power of God in you once your Faith is true. Amen.
64. Ezekiel 8:3 He reached out what seemed to be a hand and grabbed me by the hair. Then in this vision God’s spirit lifted me high in the air and took me to Jerusalem.
65. He took me to the inner entrance of the north gate of the Temple, where there was an idol that was an outrage to God. (GNT)
66. Ezekiel 8:14-18 So he took me to the north gate of the Temple and showed me women weeping over the death of the god Tammuz. He asked, “Mortal man, do you see that?
67. You will see even more disgusting things.” So he took me to the inner courtyard of the Temple. There near the entrance of the sanctuary, between the altar and the porch, were about twenty-five men.
68. They had turned their backs to the sanctuary and were bowing low toward the east, worshiping the rising sun. “(GNT)
69. God sees everything happening in secret. Remember some years ago I was telling you how we were covenanted with God by The Son of Man.
70. The same way all that worship idol they covenanted themselves and their offspring to that idol. And whatever they do to displease that idol, Idol will penalize them by taking one in their midst for God is the only being that can hear I am sorry.
71. If you continue after today without having a feeling of remorse in your heart, you have sealed your doom. That is why we ought to examine ourselves, look down into your heart, do not attribute it to anybody for God is the one who explains what is in our hearts which nobody knows.
72. The one that happened to these Brethren mentioned, God used it as an example to you and I. See what God said on 2nd January this year, see what is happening among us and people are not afraid.
73. You think that it is only when you mould a stick and place somewhere that is an idol. But the people you are communicating with outside this Faith. For the scriptures says “We are the sons and daughters of God, other human beings around us are under the control and power of the devil”.
74. Ezekiel 14:3-9 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and put the stumbling block of their iniquity and guilt before their faces; should I permit myself to be inquired of at all by them?
75. Therefore speak to them and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols [of self-will and unsubmissiveness into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity [idols of silver and gold] before his face, and yet comes to the prophet [to inquire of him], I the Lord will answer him, answer him according to the multitude of his idol (AMP)
76. You see, the idol in the time of Moses, in the time of Joshua was physical idols carved by stone, wood. But in the time of Ezekiel, it has turned to be idol in the heart.
77. They will say that they denounced those idols, now, they packed all those idols into their conscience, the memory of the idol in their hearts.
78. For if your conscience do not condemn you, you will have boldness before the Lord. We have moved away from the idols of stones, bricks, silver and gold to the idol in the heart that rose up against the knowledge of God in you.
79. After all these years God has manifested Himself in our midst, showed us everything we can rejoice of, creating such confidence in us to have Trust in Him. That was His purpose of allowing the people of Israel to see Him when He was speaking to Moses. He said, “The purpose I permitted them to come is to hear what I am speaking to you so that I will create fear in them to trust and believe in you. For believing in Moses, you have believed in God.”
80. The same thing is applicable to us. The purpose The Son of Man came down, brought down the Head stone, showed us the Original Body, did great signs and wonders and miracles among us is for us to have strong confidence in Him that He is the Elohim, no other person for no man has ever spoke like Him.
81. We have seen preachers nobody has ever claimed the authority of The Supreme deity. No preacher has ever done that. Claiming, and you see it as real, telling you I know who I am, I am no other person but He.
82. That was what the people of Israel were demanding from Jesus “if you are the Messiah, tell us plainly. Why keeping us in suspense?” Jesus said “The work I did have proved to you that I am He but you are not my sheep because my word has no part in you”.
83. The area you will know personally whether you are from God or not is, if the word of God has no part in you, you are not of God. When you hear God’s word, it did not sink well in your heart, you rise up against it and murmur, it is an evidence that you are not from God.
84. Joel 2:13 Let your remorse tear at your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful. He is not easily angered; he is full of kindness and anxious not to punish you. (LB)
85. In the time of the children of Israel, anything that happens to them, you see them tearing their garments, pouring ashes upon them. But this time around, God said, “No I do not need it for hypocrisy is in it.
86. “What I need now is tearing your heart, changing your heart, coming back to me with full assurance that you will never go back to idol for I am a God that cannot be easily provoked, I am full of mercy and I will pardon to you if you will do it.”
87. That is why God said today is the day of salvation. Somebody must be saved today. For when you hear God’s word harden not your heart. Check yourself, unbelief brings stubbornness, brings hatred, everything.
88. Romans 1:31 And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome…
89. If you reject God after I have explained everything to you, He revealed Himself to you, you have accepted Him as God, and you refuse to retain that knowledge of God in you, He will hand you over to a reprobate mind.
90. Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. They were secret backbiters and gossipers…
91. Can you see this in the life of one that has the life of Christ?
92. Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, and boasting; inventors of new forms of evil…
93. “Inventors of new forms of evil”
94. …disobedient and undutiful to parents. They were without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless and merciless.
95. Though they are fully aware of God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them. (AMP)
96. They know very well that anybody who does that, the judgment of God is upon such person but they do not only do it but they encourage others to do it.
97. They preach it in their family altars, they discuss it with people. Some will see some deformities on your children and they will tell you that there is somewhere you will go as if God does not know that such thing is in the midst of His people.
98. It has been the manner of the heathens when anybody falls sick, they will show the person places he will go.
99. The Son of Man: they do not enquire of the Lord.
100. Apostle Kelechi: it is very, very important that we will enquire of the Lord. That is why the scripture says “Mark them that are walking contrary to the teachings and instructions we are giving to you, avoid them”.
101. The Son of Man: Amen. “Avoid them”.
102. Apostle Kelechi: and the scripture says “who is your brother, who is your sister? Your sister is one that honours God and obeys His words”.
103. After all without this Bridal Faith I do not know you, you do not know me. From the time you came into this Bridal Faith that was the time we met each other. The purpose of this Faith is for God to unite His children that are scattered all over the world.
104. When He saw that mixed multitudes have crept in, for this thing was not mentioned in our midst from the beginning, for we were taught about the God your Bible revealed, we were taught about how God hates idolatry. We were separated from our relations, everybody outside this Faith.
105. We were few that time, we can mention our names. Mixed multitudes have crept in for the purpose of the devil is to make sure wherever there is life of Christ, he will come in there in human form just to see if he can destroy us.
106. But he did not know that God told us from the beginning of this Ministry “I come down among you, I will never depart from among you for the word of my mouth is My Spirit among you”.
107. We have seen signs and wonders, not that God do not do signs and wonders, He does it but we are here for the Word of Eternal Life. For they know very well the judgment of God.
108. Do you know that the judgment of God is upon all that worship idol, pack it in their hearts, not only that, they encourage people to do it.
109. Acts 19:18-19 Many also of those who were now believers came making full confession and thoroughly exposing their former deceptive and evil practices.
110. And many of those who had practiced curious, magical arts collected their books and throwing them, book after book, on the pile burned them in the sight of everybody. When they counted the value of them, they found it amounted to 50,000 pieces of silver about $9,300 (AMP).
111. If idol is something, can this people denounce their idol?
112. Acts 19:18-19 Many of the believers came, publicly admitting and revealing what they had done.
113. Many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in public. They added up the price of the books, and the total came to fifty thousand silver coins. (GNT)
114. If idol is something, can this people denounce their idol? When they saw the power of the Lord, changing their mind, they brought out all those idols because they have believed.
115. Jude 20-23But you, dear friends, must build up your lives ever more strongly upon the foundation of our holy faith, learning to pray in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit (LB)
116. This Faith is the most Holy Faith that cannot tolerate defilement. The one you heard with your ear, it defiles your heart, defilement of what you see with your eyes, defilement of everything around you, you allowed it to rest in your heart, defilement has started.
117. This Faith is the most Holy Faith and seeing that our God is Holy, who separated us from our mother’s womb and called us to be Holy that we must separate from every other nation around us.
118. Because when you go with them, you will learn their evil ways. It is because of not worshiping other god that God refused the children of Israel from marrying heathen women. From the time they started marrying heathen women, idolatry came into their land.
119. When Sampson refused to marry one of the Sisters and went and married a Philistine, don’t you see what happened to him? The same thing is applicable to us.
120. In time past, when you see anybody in this Faith, God will ask “Who brought this person here? Did you open his mouth to see whether he has teeth?” but now everybody is flying in here and there saying they believe, they believe.
121. Now, the Word-test has come. Have you disassociated from that idol of your community for every community has an idol. In my area, there is one idol they have, any child that dies without having a teeth, the child will not be buried. They will say it is a taboo.
122. I said, is it the child that killed himself or herself? Death came and the child died. Maybe the parents did not take proper care of the child. This is idol find out the idol in your community, those things they believe which they are trying to force you to believe. Without you having you stand, the idol must have his way over you.
123. “Get Rid of your community spirit,” page 44 verse 14; All of you that claimed to be Abraham’s children but when it comes to the deeds of Abraham, you become reprobates.
124. Have you separated from your community? Many want to carry Christ and their community along. It is impossible! One is opposed to the other. I want everybody to know this truth, let it sink well in your heart.
125. If there are traits of your people or your community that can be traced to you when you are claiming to be in the Faith of Christ, stop fooling yourself You are a mocker and the Lord said “Be not deceived God is not mocked”. No one sneers at God and goes unpunished.
126. Let the word of God be in you helping you to obey God.
127. Colossians 3:5-7, Away then with sinful, earthly things; deaden the evil desires lurking within you; have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires; don’t worship the good things of life, for that is idolatry…
128. “Don’t worship the good things of life, for that is idolatry”
129. God’s terrible anger is upon those who do such things. You used to do them when your life was still part of this world (LB).The Son of Man: Ok we have something here.
130. “Once you are in Christ you are a brand new individual within,” page 83 verse 21 preached on Sunday 20th July 2014; if you are having a hereditary problem, it is still lingering there because you have not decided to break the hereditary.
131. You have not decided to use your own machete or knife to severe yourself from that lineage so that the genes will no longer be transferable.
132. Those that are transferred already will begin to die for new ones to come in. once you are in Christ, you are a brand new individual within. Your blood has become the blood of Christ, your lineage the lineage of Christ, everything Christ. If sickness comes, it is another one that is coming to you because that one is in you.
133. It is no longer the one that is been transferred from your parents to you otherwise they will transfer their idolatry to you.
134. The same way you say no to their idolatrous practices, say no to everything that is associated with their lineage, use your mouth and reject it, use your heart and reject it. You do not know what I am saying.
135. If you come from Idemili and you are not hiding in Christ, you have not broken the old barrier, the old gene, they are all in you. If you dare desecrate their land by killing their so called python, you will die.
136. Even if the people do not kill you, that which your people believe which has become their custom and tradition will attack you and you will and you will die.
137. But because you have severed yourself, you do not belong to them again, the fact is that you will begin to pull down their altars. A sign that you have separated, you will begin to condemn their tradition, their culture, everything.
138. You have severed yourself, your blood is now purified, you now have the blood of Christ, you now have the mind of Christ because from that day you are now living in Christ. In Him you live, in Him you move, in Him you draw your nourishment, in Him you draw your healing, in Him you draw your strength, your power, everything in Him. You exercise your liberty.
139. The Son of Man: put your hands together! Before we go, fear the Lord thy God.
140. Malachi 1:6 “A son honors his father, a servant honors his master. I am your Father and Master, yet you don’t honor me, O priests, but you despise my name.” (LB)
141. Psalms 33:8Let everyone in all the world-men, women and children-fear the Lord and stand in awe of him. (LB)
142. Psalms 34:9 If you belong to the Lord, reverence him; for everyone who does this has everything he needs. (LB)
143. Finally, Ecclesiastes 12:12-14 Amplified. This boy (Bro. Ngosike Ojiakor) is crazy. Reading the Bible can never save you. What will save you is sincerity of your heart towards God.
144. You spend time reading manuals, counting money. No time to read the message, no time to search the scriptures. To know the location of the books in the Bible, anybody can read.
145. Ecclesiastes 12:12-14 But about going further than the words given by one Shepherd, my son, be warned. Of making many books there is no end so do not believe everything. All has been heard…
146. “All has been heard” if all that has been said here are not enough to change your heart, even if the whole world speak you cannot change. We are gathering everything. it is one Shepherd, one God.
147. But about going further than the words given by one Shepherd, my son, be warned. Of making many books there is no end so do not believe everything.
148. All has been heard “And the end of the matter is: Fear God revere and worship Him knowing that He is and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man the full, original purpose of his creation, the object of God’s providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun and the whole duty for every man.
149. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil (AMP).
150. On this note, I say thank you and remain blessed in Him eternally. Selah.
