GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP 2021 REVISED EDITION Preached On 27TH JUNE, 2012 At THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN “THE ROCK OF AGES” Truth has no substitute”
This teaching is not for everybody; it is directed to every TRUE ELECT OF GOD scattered all over the world for their peace – The Son Of Man
BACKGROUND
We are assured and know that God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
1. For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.
2. And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].
3. What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]Rom. 8:28-31 AMP.
4. But I know there is someone in heaven who will come at last to my defense. Even after my skin is eaten by disease, while still in this body I will see God. I will see him with my own eyes, and he will not be a stranger. Job 19:25-27 GNB
5. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. John 6:38 KJV
6. I have manifested Your Name [I have revealed Your very Self, Your real Self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed and kept Your word. Now [at last] they know and understand that all You have given Me belongs to You [is really and truly Yours].
7. For the [uttered] words that You gave Me I have given them; and they have received and accepted [them] and have come to know positively and in reality [to believe with absolute assurance] that I came forth from Your presence, and they have believed and are convinced that You did send Me.
8. I am praying for them. I am not praying (requesting) for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they belong to You. All [things that are] Mine are Yours, and all [things that are] Yours belong to Me; and I am glorified in (through) them. [They have done Me honor; in them My glory is achieved.] And [now] I am no more in the world, but these are [still] in the world, and I am coming to you.
9. Holy Father, keep in Your Name [in the knowledge of Yourself] those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We [are one]. While I was with them, I kept and preserved them in Your Name in the knowledge and worship of You].
10. Those You have given Me I guarded and protected, and not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot—the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
11. And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am still in the world, so that My joy may be made full and complete and perfect in them [that they may experience My delight fulfilled in them, that My enjoyment may be perfected in their own souls, that they may have My gladness within them, filling their hearts].
12. I have given and delivered to them Your word (message) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world [do not belong to the world], just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one.
13. They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world. Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. John 17:6-17 KJV
We know that everyone fathered by God does not sin, but God protects the one he has fathered, and the evil one cannot touch him. We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
14. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight to knowhim who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This oneis the true God and eternal life. 1st John 5:18-20 (New English Translation)
15. These men belong to this world, so, quite naturally, they are concerned about worldly affairs and the world pays attention to them. But we are children of God; that is why only those who have walked and talked with God will listen to us. Others won’t. That is another way to know whether a message is really from God; for if it is, the world won’t listen to it. 1 John 4:5-6 KJV
16. Then the word of the Lord came to me [Jeremiah], saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Jer. 1:4-5 AMP.
17. But when that happens, I will take you, O Zerubbabel my servant, and honor you like a signet ring upon my finger; for I have specially chosen you,’ says the Lord Almighty.” Haggai 2:23 LB.
18. But when He, Who had chosen and set me apart [even] before I was born and had called me by His grace (His undeserved favor and blessing), saw fit and was pleased to reveal (unveil, disclose) His Son within me so that I might proclaim Him among the Gentiles (the non-Jewish world) as the glad tidings (Gospel), immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood [did not consult or counsel with any frail human being or communicate with anyone]. Gal. 1:15-16 AMP
19. From Yahya ibn Nufal, indeed Musa ibn Ja’afar (as) raise his hands and supplicates after Asr prayer, I inquire from him saying, to whom did you offer prayer for? He said: to Al-Mahdi among the family of Muhammad (saas) and said: HE IS HAVING BIG STOMACH, his eyebrow very close, HIS LEGS ARE VERY ENERGETIC, HIS SHOULDER IS WIDE [Bihar al-Anwar: 86-81].
20. Humran bin A’yân says: To Imam Muhammad Bakir: “… Your Lord Hazrat Mahdi (As) will have a wide stomach …” [Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani p. 253].
21. He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] is a young man of medium stature and with a beautiful face … the radiance of his face shines like day in his hair, beard, and the blackness of his head, and gives him greatness. [Al-Uqayli, Al-Najmu Al-Saqib].
Prophet Branham said, “Expect Him as a black man coming from one of the jungles in Africa but this is where Americans will perish. This will stumble America. Do not look for Him among the clergy of your own day for He will never be found there.
22. He will not be a great man, He will be very simple. But in Him is the shewbread, for we are living on the threshold of the greatest vindication of omnipotence the world has never seen”.
23. Come to the Throne of Grace Volume 2 preached on Sunday 5th November, 2017, Page 24 vs. 34
24. I am here. There has never been any generation that appeared without meeting me. I AM the oldest Being that has been on Earth since the world began, changing forms, changing locations. However, in these last days, it has pleased Him that I should settle down in my own homeland. ISRAEL AND PALESTINE PP 89 VS 51
25. The presence of numerous Nigerian prophets will encourage the elect rather than discouraging them because they will be glad that God delights in repeating those things he did back yonder. In the days of King Ahab (1 Kings 18) it was only prophet Elijah against 450 prophets of Baal. God’s elect have remained in the minority.

nd he answered me, saying, “The Most High has made this world for many, but the world to come, for few. 2 Ezra 8:1
There are many created, but few will be saved.” 2 Ezra 8:3
For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 22:14 KJV
Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance, who seek the Lord! Consider the quarry from which you were mined, the rock from which you were cut! Yes, think about your ancestors Abraham and Sarah, from whom you came.
26. You worry at being so small and few, but Abraham was only one when I called him. But when I blessed him, he became a great nation. Isaiah 51:1-2 LB
27. Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Luke 13:23-24
28. It is written in [the book of] the Prophets, And they shall all be taught of God [have Him in person for their Teacher]. Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me— John 6:45 AMP
29. God Himself will gather His people together and give them the SEAL OF OWNERSHIP, a SEAL OF APPROVAL, a SEAL OF ACCEPTANCE. That is why if you get any agreement with a seal, nobody can collect it from you.
30. Any agreement with a seal either by will, nobody can collect it from you. What is more, there is an agreement between us and God. Note, an agreement is nothing but a covenant.
31. Our covenant with God has an everlasting seal which we cannot break. That is why I am rejoicing that I am saved; I am rejoicing that I am already there. That I am already in glory. Nothing is stopping Me here because my whole body is in glory. Nothing will bring Me back.
The SON OF MAN. (THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED) PP79 VS 4-6
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 2 Tim. 2:19 KJV
GAL. 6:6-7
Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule [who discipline themselves and regulate their lives by this principle], even upon the [true] Israel of God! From now on let no person trouble me [by making it necessary for me to vindicate my apostolic authority and the divine truth of my Gospel], for I bear on my body the [brand] marks of the Lord Jesus [the wounds, scars, and other outward evidence of persecutions—these testify to His ownership of me]! AMP
Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God. From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. NIV
May God’s mercy and peace be upon all of you who live by this principle and upon those everywhere who are really God’s own. From now on please don’t argue with me about these things, for I carry on my body the scars of the whippings and wounds from Jesus’ enemies that mark me as his slave. LB
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. KJV
Romans 2:28-29 NIV
For you are not real Jews just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the Jewish initiation ceremony of circumcision. No, a real Jew is anyone whose heart is right with God. For God is not looking for those who cut their bodies in actual body circumcision, but he is looking for those with changed hearts and minds. Whoever has that kind of change in his life will get his praise from God, even if not from you. LB
For he is not a [real] Jew who is only one outwardly and publicly, nor is [true] circumcision something external and physical. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and [true] circumcision is of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal [matter]. His praise is not from men but from God. AMP
A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God. NIV
Acts 13:46-50
But Paul and Barnabas spoke out even more boldly: “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken first to you. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we will leave you and go to the Gentiles. For this is the commandment that the Lord has given us:
‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
so that all the world may be saved.’”
When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the Lord’s message; and those who had been chosen for eternal life became believers.
The word of the Lord spread everywhere in that region. But the Jews stirred up the leading men of the city and the Gentile women of high social standing who worshiped God. They started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and threw them out of their region. GNB
IF YOU ARE REALLY A PART OF GOD, THERE CAN NEVER BE A DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND GOD. ANYTIME THERE IS DISAGREEMENT IN YOU WITH YOUR SPIRIT, BEAR IT IN MIND THAT YOU ARE NOT A PART OF GOD. REMEMBER THE MESSAGE, “SPIRITUAL HARMONY”. IF THE SPIRIT IS NOT HARMONIZING WITH THE WORD YOU ARE RECEIVING, YOU ARE NOT A PART OF THE WORD, AND THE WORD IS NOT PART OF YOU.” – THE SON OF MAN.
‘RE-EXAMINE YOUR FAITH’, preached on 6th December, 2007 at the Household of God Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria,
Chapter 13 verse 20.
CHAPTER 1
GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP
This is homecoming week. All the elect of God that were trapped in the denominations, they are uncomfortable now. They are waiting to hear this Voice; they are jumping out one after the other. They are identifying with their own brethren, for the flight is near. I do not care where they are, they are jumping out.
1. Ephesians chapter 1 verses 13-14: “And because of what Christ did…”
2. Because of what who did? Christ! You know who Christ is! Remember, it was that same Christ in Jesus that made him God. Is that not scriptural? Know who is doing the work. Christ was in the world before the world began.
3. Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen him with my own eyes and listened to him speak. I have touched him with my own hands. He is God’s message of life. 2 This one who is life from God has been shown to us, and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ, who is eternal Life. He was with the Father and then was shown to us. I John 1:1-2 LB
4. Christ was in the world before the world began, but Jesus was not in the world because Jesus was a man in like passion like any of us. Jesus has a beginning, Jesus has an end. However, Christ has no beginning, Christ has no end.
5. It was that Christ, the Sovereign Spirit that caused the body called Jesus to resurrect from the dead.
6. But God raised Him to life on the third day and caused Him to be manifest (to be plainly seen), Not by all the people but to us who were chosen (designated) beforehand by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. Acts 10:40-41 AMP
7. That is why the Bible said, “If that same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, dwells in me, it will quicken my mortal body, it will quicken your mortal body if that spirit dwells in me.”
8. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Rom. 8:11 KJV
9. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Rom. 8:11 NIV
10. Ephesians chapter 1 verses 13-14: “And because of what Christ did…”
11. Because of what Christ did, not what you did. Not what I have done, not what you have done. Not what we are intending to do, for we can do nothing. Our duty is to trust in Him, believe in Him and confide in Him.
12. Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” John 6:28-29 NIV
13. They then said, What are we to do, that we may [habitually] be working the works of God? [What are we to do to carry out what God requires?] Jesus replied, This is the work (service) that God asks of you: that you believe in the One Whom He has sent [that you cleave to, trust, rely on, and have faith in His Messenger]. John 6:28-29 AMP.
14. SEE, THIS THING HAPPENED THAT YOU MIGHT BELIEVE THAT I AM HE AND BESIDE ME THERE IS NO OTHER. I KNOW WHO I AM, YOUR UNBELIEF CANNOT ALTER WHAT I AM; IT DOES NOT ADD, IT DOES NOT REMOVE. BUT I AM PERSUADING YOU THAT YOU MIGHT BE SAVED FOR IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE; THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE SAVED. THUS YOUR SALVATION IS TIED TO YOUR BELIEF IN THE SON OF MAN THAT GOD HAS SENT HIM. THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO TO FULFIL THE DEMAND OF GOD IS TO BELIEVE IN HIM WHOM HE HAS SENT. BELIEVING MEANS: OBEYING HIS WORDS, WALKING ACCORDING TO HIS PRECEPTS.
15. Are you convinced? Preached on 15th April, 2012; page 27:26-27
16. Even this believing is not our own making; Because of his kindness, you have been saved through trusting Christ. And even trusting is not of yourselves; it too is a gift from God. Eph. 2:8 LB. It is the grace of God for He causeth some to believe and causeth some to disbelieve.
17. Ephesians chapter 1 verses 13-14: “…And Because of what Christ did, all you others too who hear the good news about how to be saved and trusted Christ…”
18. You others too who heard the good news on how to be saved, and trusted Christ. Even this trusting, is not of your own making. It is God’s doing. If God does not help you, you cannot trust.
19. You cannot believe, it is the grace of God; lest any man should begin to boast, no! You contributed nothing to your salvation. God wants to save you because He wants to save you. Because He wants to save you, the Bible said that He has given you a believing heart to believe the truth.
20. Many read the scriptures without finding their own positions where you stand and claim that you are a seed of God. When you read the scriptures, find your position there. You must have a ground where you stand; you call it your own redemption ground.
21. “…And Because of what Christ did, all you others too who heard the good news about how to be saved and trusted Christ, you were marked as belonging to Christ”.
22. You were what? You were marked. I am marked! You are marked! Who marked you? Christ! Do you see the mark with your eyes? No. The same way it is with the Mark of the Beast.
23. Holy Quran Surah 29:11 [Yea-] and most certainly will God mark out those who have [truly] attained to faith, and most certainly will He mark out the hypocrites. Muhammad Asad
24. Forget about what useless people are saying just to make converts so that they can make money. Instilling unnecessary fear into the hearts of their hearers, making them to believe that one is coming one day to mark you on the shoulder or on the forehead. There is no scripture like that.
25. The mark of salvation is done by God and it is a spiritual mark. Everything about worshiping the living God is spiritual, and not carnal. Nobody has ever worshipped God in the flesh, for the flesh profited nothing. John 6:63.
26. The Bible said, “By the deeds of the flesh, nobody can please God”. knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. Gal. 2:16 KJV
27. How can you please God with this flesh? The flesh is always weak, but the spirit is ever strong. Consider not the flesh, for the flesh will go back to the Earth.
28. The Bible said “Having been justified in the spirit, we have access to God” Therefore, since we have been justified [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). Rom. 5:1 AMP.
29. Yet, your justification is in the spirit and not in the flesh. For no man has ever been justified in the flesh since the world began. They will read in the Bible that “those that worship God will worship Him in spirit and in truth,” – For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth John 4:24 LB. However, they now turn out to be carnal worshippers, a mechanical worship. By giving rules and regulations which they think if any man will obey, will take such a person to Heaven. Nothing like that!
30. God called it “manmade way of salvation.” When they reject God’s own established way of salvation, they will establish their own human way based on their human philosophy. That is why they called themselves Christians, but they have teachings different from one to another. Holding one Bible, mentioning one Jesus Christ and then having one million different teachings.
31. However, God is one and His teaching is one. Everything about God is one: “Hear ye Oh Israel, the Lord your God is one.” Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord Mark 12:29 LB Nothing like Trinity: God the Father, God the Son; God the Holy Ghost. It is idolatry. No Jew recognizes that, no scripture like that.
Their inability to believe that Jesus was God in their day, that was what formed the teaching of Trinity. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Col. 2:8-9 KJV.
32. They could not believe that Jesus Christ, although he was a man; he was God in their day. Yet they will call Him, “the Word made flesh that was given to us. The loving God that became a human being.”
33. Before anything else existed,[a] there was Christ,* with God. He has always been alive and is himself God. 3 He created everything there is—nothing exists that he didn’t make. 4 Eternal life is in him, and this life gives light to all mankind. 5 His life is the light that shines through the darkness—and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:1-5 LB
34. They are calling Mary the mother of God: “Hail Mary, the mother of God.” Which God?
35. In every dispensation, the saved in that dispensation has been saved not because of what they have done but because of what the revealed Christ has accomplished. You never heard the message of salvation in your day until Christ is revealed.
36. In every age, God is revealed in human form starting from the Garden of Eden. They said, “He is the Lord, He changeth not. Our fathers saw Him face to face, ate and drank with Him.
37. The Apostles the same way, in the wilderness they were fellowshipping with Him.” But now in our day, they want us to believe that no man can see Him. If any man sees God, he will die, but God spoke to Moses face to face.
38. And so the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his attendant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent. Exodus 33:11 NIV
39. God spoke to Manoah and the wife face to face. The seventy Elders of Israel, He did not only speak to them, He ate and drank with them.
40. Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli, as bright blue as the sky. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank. Exodus 24:9-11 NIV.
41. What happened in the Garden of Eden? He was fellowshipping with Adam and Eve. What of Jacob who wrestled with Him? St. Paul said, “Because I have preached Christ to be a man, I am treated like a criminal and I am in chain. But the Gospel of Christ is not in chain”. Preaching God as a human being, that is the greatest stumbling block of all the ages. They can believe everything, not that one.
42. They told Jesus Christ, “Concerning all the miracles, works and whatever you are saying we condemn you not. But because thou art a man and maketh thyself God, you must die!”
43. The bone of contention in every dispensation has always remained the people accepting that God has always been here, not in any other place, God has always been here as a man. However, nobody can see Him. He revealeth Himself to whosoever He willeth, is that not scripture?. When the Apostles gathered, He said, “Who do men think I am? Who do you say I am?”
44. When Peter identified Him, Jesus Christ said, “Flesh and blood never revealed it to you. It was revealed to you by my Father who is in Heaven.” It is a revelation. No man knoweth the Father but the Son. No man knoweth the Son but the Father and to whomsoever the Son shall choose to reveal. “All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.” Matthew 11:27 KJV
45. God can sit down near Brother Romeo, Brother Monday will see Him as God because it is revealed to Brother Monday. Brother Romeo will see Him as a natural man. Another person will see Him as a devil. The same person!
46. Remember they called Jesus Christ a Devil; the Chief of Beelzebub. They called Him a liar, a deceiver, a fornicator; every kind of thing. However, He was their Saviour.
47. According to them, He was a beggar, He was a drunkard, a glutton, He ate too much. Besides, that He was having criminals and prostitutes as friends and at the same time mingling with such people, for that they could not believe His report. Dishonest tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus’ sermons; but this caused complaints from the Jewish religious leaders and the experts on Jewish law because he was associating with such despicable people—even eating with them! Luke 15:1-2 LB
48. This salvation is not for a gentleman. Salvation from Christ has never been directed to any gentleman or woman. Otherwise, the Pharisees, the Scribes, the Sadducees, the Herodians; they would have been saved for they were perfect gentlemen and women, and they were bent on judging Jesus’ action: “By our Law, he ought to die.”
49. That is why, wherever there is the Spirit of Truth; there is liberty. For when you know the truth, the truth will set you free. No man will hold you captive again; your conscience will begin to justify you for you are sure and certain that you are a seed of God even before the world began. That the love of God in your heart can never be removed by anybody, by any preaching. Even in Hell, the love of God is there.
50. The moment a man hears the truth which his conscience can never deny, his problem starts. If he goes to bed, the thing is there. If he is driving, it is there. Anywhere he goes the thing is there. Even if he is trying to say no, the thing will say, “Come, is it not true?” This is how God does His thing.
51. I am expecting some other people. The Lord willing, all that belong to God must surely come.
52. THE BIBLE SAID THAT WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, WE CAME FROM GOD AND WE ARE GOING BACK TO GOD. IF WE CAME FROM THE DEVIL, WE WILL GO BACK TO THE DEVIL. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 1 John 5:19
53. HOWEVER, IF YOU CAME FROM GOD, FORGET ABOUT THE TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS YOU ARE PASSING THROUGH; Verily, Allah knows those who believe, and verily, He knows the hypocrites [i.e. Allah will test the people with good and hard days to discriminate the good from the wicked (although Allah knows all that before putting them to test)]. Noble Quran Surah 29:11
54. THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU HAVE NO ATTRIBUTE OF THE DEVIL IN YOU. IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE DEVIL, KNOW THAT PLASTIC CAN BECOME IRON TOMORROW.
55. THE WORK OF SALVATION WAS FINISHED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN. CHRIST IS ONLY ON THE SCENE TO REVEAL THE SALVATION PLAN TO THE ELECT ONLY. NO OTHER PERSON WILL UNDERSTAND IT BUT THE ELECT.
56. We [who teach God’s word] are from God [energized by the Holy Spirit], and whoever knows God [through personal experience] listens to us [and has a deeper understanding of Him]. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know [without any doubt] the spirit of truth [motivated by God] and the spirit of error [motivated by Satan]. 1 John 4:6 AMP.
“…And Because of what Christ did, all you others too who heard the good news about how to be saved and trusted Christ, you were marked as belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit”.
57. You were marked, who can remove the mark from you? Nobody! The scripture says that God is the only Person Who can close the door and no man can open it. When He opens it, no man can close it. When He exalts, no man can bring down. When He brings down, no man can lift up.
58. When God marks a man with the mark of ownership, the mark of approval, which devil can wipe it? Unless you have not believed and trusted in Christ, when you heard the message of salvation; immediately God just marked you.
59. That was why Jesus Christ was able to say, “I know my sheep and my sheep knoweth me. My sheep heareth my voice and they follow me. The voice of the stranger they will never, never follow.” John 10:14
60. That is why when you see a seed of God; no matter his position in the denomination, he is uncomfortable. He does not believe in what they are saying, he does not believe in what they are doing. However, the fear in him is that he does not want to be misunderstood if he should begin to tell them the way God is revealing it to him. For they will think he is trying to lead or to rule. They will label him a troublemaker.
61. For that reason, he will keep quiet against his conscience. However, any day he comes into contact with one, two, three persons that believe the same thing that God is revealing to him, you will never see his back again. He is gone! WHEN YOU BELIEVED AND TRUSTED IN GOD, YOU WERE MARKED.
62. “…you were marked as belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit”.
63. “…Who long ago has been promised to all of us, His presence leading us, is God’s guaranty.”
64. Note, His presence leading us is God’s guaranty. Who is leading us? The Cloud! The Cloud is God’s presence, God’s guaranty. That is why we are not following any human leadership. Look at the Pillar of Cloud; look at the Pillar of Fire. He paves the way, our duty is to follow.
65. Moses had no other occupation than to follow. Moses was not the Leader; the Leader was the Almighty God, directing the path with the Pillar of Cloud in the day, Pillar of Fire in the night.
66. Moses was born and brought up in Egypt. He never knew the way from Egypt to Canaan. Hence, it behoves on God to lead. He told us, “You have never gone this way before. Fix your eyes on Him. I have placed your own brother I picked from among you; my Name is upon Him to lead you in the way you should go.
67. “Fix your eyes on Him, I am going before Him. Remember, you have never gone this way before. Do not go to the left, do not go to the right. Do not ever provoke him to wrath, for He will never, never pardon your transgression”. Blessed be the name of the Lord forever and ever, amen.
68. I do not say all these things because I am involved. They are scriptures made manifest. People can impersonate whatever they want to impersonate, nobody in this life nor even in the life to come has ever attempted impersonating the Pillar of Cloud or the Pillar of Fire—a sure evidence that the instrument for leadership is divine.
69. He that could say, “Come all of you with your camera and I will show you He that has been leading you all these years to banish unbelief.” Then, when the journey is over, He said, “This is another day”.
70. You are the only people that are worshipping God under the Cloud; out there you see the sun. In here, canopy because the Elohim is here and bodily present. You are feeling the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit. This is what made the total difference. The smoking presence of God. Amen.
This Message is not for everybody. It is for this Family and for every other Elect. An Elect is one that is chosen for salvation and not for destruction.
That is why the Bible said that God never chose us to obtain His wrath but to obtain His salvation through Christ our LORD. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [1 Thessalonians 5:9 KJV]
BE CAREFUL THAT YOUR DAILY CHARACTER DOES NOT COUNTER THE TRUTH YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT 29TH NOVEMBER 2020 Chapter 3:17-19
REMEMBER, AS WE ARE TRUE MINISTERS OF GOD; AS WE ARE TRUE CHRIST REPRESENTATIVES AND HIS SERVANTS, WE HAVE SOMETHING GOING ABOUT US, PROTECTING US, SHEILDING US AND GUIDING US WHEREVER WE GO, HELPING US NOT TO SIDETRACK. NOW, WE ARE THE TARGET OF THE DEVIL AND HIS AGENTS. AND AS WE ARE THE TARGET OF THE DEVIL AND HIS AGENTS, GOD IS THERE AS OUR HUGE MAN SUPPORT, SUPPORTING US AS OUR LORD, WAGING THE WAR. NOW THIS WAR, SOME YOU KNOW, AND SOME YOU DO NOT KNOW.
Spiritual Accountability to God preached on 26th June, 2020; page 102:18-19.
CHAPTER2
WE ARE THE REDEEMED OF THIS GENERATION
Jerusalem is the house of refuge, the valley of decision, the Galilee of the Gentiles. The land that was formally in darkness, that was privileged to receive the light. It is not of our own making. We do not make noise on the street, no signboard, no advert, no crusade. Nothing like that.
1. No preaching from house to house. Nothing like that for we believe according to the scripture that God adds to His Church daily as many as should be saved. Remember the Church is one, one body, one Christ.
2. “…His presence with us is God’s guaranty.”
3. Somebody that God Himself is leading, does he miss the road? Do you know what they call guaranty?
4. You are worshipping God in the approved place, having the vindication—sure and certain. Not abracadabra, not imitation, not American wonder! Nothing gladdens the heart more than this. Anything can tell lies, not the pinhole camera.
5. Our Brother who came from Abuja, Pastor Emmanuel was telling me his experience with the photographer that framed their own at Abuja, a Pentecostal for that matter. The man was enquiring about that photograph of the Headstone and the Pillar of Cloud; he never knew that the man also was a Pastor.
6. Immediately he opened his mouth to speak, the man examined the four pictures and started shivering. Where did this thing take place my dear? Under the sun. We preach it, we know it is scriptural, so this could come real? Our brother said, “It is in our midst”.
7. He volunteered to follow him and see. Remember, Nathanial was told: “Come and see, I have seen the man whom the Laws and the Prophets spoke about.” He said where? He was told, Nazareth of Galilee. He said, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” “Come and see,” he was told again.
8. Can anything good come out of Onitsha, I mean Onitsha, a notorious town full of fraudsters and every kind of deceit; millionaire town where they worship money instead of God.
9. Where all the Churches have gone commercial? Something good coming out from Onitsha, Anambra State, Come and see! God in despised places. “I have seen the man that the scripture spoke about.” So He was a man.
10. Manoah’s wife, that is the mother of Samson when her husband came back he said, “My lord, one man came to me in your absence.” Note, one man.
11. “Look at what he said. And I told him you were not around. He said he would come again.” “When?” the husband asked. The wife said, “He said about this time tomorrow.”
12. When the evening came, that man came again. The woman saw him, ran to her husband and said, “My lord, the man I told you has come again!” What of in the wilderness? He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
13. When you believe, there shall be a performance of that which is promised. However, when you do not believe, do not expect the promise to come to pass.
14. “…His presence within us is God’s guaranty that really He will give us all that He promised. And His spirit seal upon us means that God has already purchased us”.
15. His spirit seal, do you know what it takes to place a seal on a document? Once a seal is placed on a document, it becomes an irrevocable document, acceptable worldwide. You see, we have God’s seal of ownership.
16. PUBLISH IT WIDE THAT WE ARE THE REDEEMED OF THIS GENERATION. We are not boasting, we are not saying that for people to clap hands for us. Whether you believe it or not, it cannot add, it cannot subtract.
17. We have gone beyond faith. The same way, we have gone beyond hope. Hope means hoping for something that is yet to come. While faith means believing in something you have not seen. We started with faith and then established hope. We have seen the Reality.
The Lord is good. Do you know that all that appeared in Jesus’ day, the only thing that it took to save them was to use their mouths and confess that Jesus is the Lord, finish. However, you are not of Jesus disciple. We are millions and millions of miles away from them. Simply have faith, simply be obedient every time, finish. Salvation is not a big deal for it is not depending on your goodness or your badness. Never, never. You are no longer going to be good enough for God to save you. People tried to be good enough and they missed it. All the denominations today are labouring to be good enough but they missed it. What am I doing? I am bringing you closest to everything. If you do not know about this Door and how it opens, go to Sister Mary Njom, she will tell you what the Door looks like. I am the Door! By Me, all will enter the Kingdom. Outside Me, nobody enters. I am the Door, I am the Good Shepherd. When you bypass Me, when you bypass God, you have counted yourself unworthy of everlasting life. Amen.
RANDOM COMMENTS FROM THE SON OF MAN (VOLUME 3) PREACHED 27TH MARCH, 2011 Chapter 1:24-29
18. Something I am seeing with my eyes, is it faith? We have crossed faith. Faith makes Christ real for without faith, it is impossible to please God. For he that will come to God must first of all believe that He exists.
19. “…And His spirit seal upon us means that God has already purchased us and it is guaranteed to bring us to Himself. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God”. LB.
20. “In Him you also have heard the word of truth, the glad tidings, gospel of your salvation. And have believed in, and adhered to, and relied on Him, we are stamped with the seal of the long promised Holy Spirit”. AMP.
21. WHAT THEN IS THE BASIS FOR YOUR UNBELIEF? Vol 1 PREACHED ON SUNDAY, 23RD AUGUST 2020 Chapter 5:10-11 WHERE ARE YOU RESTING YOUR FAITH? ANY FAITH THAT IS RESTING OUTSIDE, PLACED OUTSIDE ANYWHERE OTHER THAN HERE, IS A MISPLACED FAITH.
22. WHAT IS MY JOY? I AM NOT POSSESSING A MISPLACED FAITH. RATHER, I AM HOLDING AN AUTHENTICATED FAITH, CONFIRMED AND VALIDATED BY THE ALMIGHTY, AND STAMPED OKAY. STAMPED OKAY! THAT IS THE REVIVAL! THAT IS THE JOY!
23. You were stamped. Who stamped the seal? Almighty God stamped it Himself.
24. HEAVEN MADE POSSIBLE VOL 1 19TH APRIL, 2020 Chapter 2:20-22
25. If you read the Message, BEARING THE SEAL OF GOD, preached in 1993, it said that it is Christ in you that will be your righteousness. The Message said that Christ will be in you and it will follow you to God. It said that Christ in you is your Seal. It is that seal. Do you know what a seal is? It is that stamp. Normally, there are some letters you will write and there is a stamp someone will see and approve its dispatch. IT IS CHRIST THAT IS THAT STAMP. IF CHRIST DOES NOT STAMP YOU, GOD IS GOING TO REJECT YOU. CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.
26. I have my own mark, I am marked. That is why the Devil has no part in me. Jesus said, “The king of this world is coming but he has no part in me”.
27. Present any of the elect to any idol; the idol will reject him for he is not its material and you will get the reply: “Take this one away, he does not belong to me!”
28. “…We are stamped with the seal of the long promised Holy Spirit. That spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance. The first fruit, and the down payment…”.
29. The down payment, “Oga you carry cash come? You will drop deposit, no credit. I need money. I would not mind five naira from every item. Give me down payment.”
30. “…The pledge and the down payment on our heritage in anticipation of His full redemption and our acquiring complete possession of this to the praise of His glory”. Amplified.
31. “…And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit whom is a deposit, guaranteeing our heritance until the redemption of those who are God’s redemption to the praise of His Name”. NIV.
32. Worshipping God at the approved place makes a total difference. Everything is grace and it is amazing.
33. I was ministering to the ministers in my house who came from the North and West, Lagos in particular. Making them to understand the reason why the Headstone appeared as prophesied in the days of Zerubbabel: “Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying , Grace, grace unto it.” Zech. 4:7 KJV
34. He told Zerubbabel saying, “Not by might, not by power but by my spirit”. You can never call down the Godhead by your power, no. By the arms of flesh has no man prevailed.
35. I just want to steer up pure minds in all of us so that you see the assurance that till eternity you are saved. Even if I go to the grave today, I am saved. This is where St. Paul stood and said, “To live is Christ; to die in Christ is great gain”.
36. Those that are saved by Christ have his assurance. Nothing gives a Man Joy more than knowing that he is not deceived. When you have assurance of salvation, you rest for you have escaped God’s condemnation. …
37. Do not relax or think all is well until you have God’s Assurance of Salvation which can only come through the revealed Christ (Messiah and Saviour of your day). HOW CAN WE ESCAPE, IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT SALVATION Volume 2 15TH AUGUST, 2020 Chapter 1:17, 5:2
38. Let us know who is doing it in us. Remember the scripture said that He that started the good work in us will accomplish it for us. He will bring it to an end. Who initiated the good work in you and me? Christ! Who will complete it? Christ! Let us know who is doing all these things.
AFTTAFTER THIS REVELATION, I WILL REJOICE THAT GOD GUIDED ME PERFECTLY. HE NEVER MADE ANY MISTAKE: THAT THE SON OF MAN WHO IS REVEALED IN OUR MIDST WAS REVEALED BY GOD. HE IS THE ONE THAT IS REVEALED IN A CLOUD. THAT IS ALL. NO OTHER NOTICE SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU. GOD IS NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER SIGN. EVERYTHING IS FINISHED. WHAT IS LEFT IS THE TRANSLATION OF YOUR MORTAL BODY AND THEN THE JUDGMENT OF GOD WHICH IS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD. I AM THE LAST SIGN GOD HAS GIVEN TO THIS PLANET EARTH.
FOLLOW THE CLOUD (EVIDENCE THAT THE SON OF MAN IS THE ELOHIM) VOL. 2; Preached in the cool of the evening of Thursday 14th September 2003 at the Household of God, Onitsha; pg. 15 vs.17-18.
Chapter3
GOD IS THE ONE
We want to know who is doing all these things in me and in you.
1. 2nd Corinthians chapter 1 verse 21-22: “Now he which establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Is who? God is the one. …because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Heb. 11:6 NIV. The existence of this God is a mystery to all until it is revealed. In what form does this God who has planned to save us exist? Let us consider some quotes from ancient prophets of God about how this God would exist in our own day.
2. For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives, and at last He [the Last One] will stand upon the earth. And after my skin, even this body, has been destroyed, then from my flesh or without it I shall see God, Job 19:25 AMP.
3. The holy books of all the major religions contain numerous promises and prophecies concerning the coming of a messianic figure.
4. This messianic figure, those predictions say, will appear at the Day of Judgment, the day of God, or the “time of the end” to establish the kingdom of God on Earth.
5. Each religion has a different name or title for this messianic figure—but the prophecies are remarkably alike. Christians await the Return of Christ. Jews await the Messiah. Muslims await the Mahdi.
6. Buddhists await the Maitreya Buddha. Zoroastrians await the Shah Bahram. Hindus await the Tenth Avatar of Krishna. Even the North and South American indigenous religions contain such prophecies.
7. For example, the Shoshone Indians await the Great Redeemer. https://bahaiteachings.org/has-the-messiah-returned/
HOLY BIBLE
8. In many separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets —Heb 1:1, AMP.
9. And | turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candle sticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
10. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
11. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
12. And when | saw him, | fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; | am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. — Rev 1:12-18, KJV.
SPOKEN WORD FROM THE SON OFMAN
13. There is a portion of the Scripture that is allotted to every Messenger. So it is. Every Messenger is allotted with a portion of the Spirit of God according to the portion of the Scripture allotted to him.
14. \But today, in Him is the totality of all. Moreso, the Son of Man, Whom He sent to gather all the loose ends starting from Adam and Eve, because the evil that was committed in the Garden of Eden, where Cain killed Abel; Up till this day, God said, “The accumulated judgement will break forth on the head of the people of this generation.”
15. FOR THAT REASON, GOD CAME. HE NEVER SENT ANYBODY. HE CAME HIMSELF AND THEN STARTED GATHERING THE LOOSE END FROM GENESIS AND SO HE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL REVELATION, ALL THE CHURCH AGES WOUND UP IN HIM.
16. God delights in repeating what he did back yonder.- Son of Man 3/9/2017
THE SON OF MAN’S COMMISSION
17. Isaiah 42:1 – 7 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth;…Is there One we know that has this as His Scriptural Commission?
18. I have put my Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.2He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
19. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
20. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, [Never!] till he have set judgment in the earth: [Upon the face of this earth. Yes sir!] and the isles shall wait for his law. Thus saith God the Lord,… Amen.
21. Isaiah 42:7 KJV to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
22. Isaiah 42:1–7 LB See my servant, whom I uphold; my Chosen One… My what? …Chosen one… My what? …Chosen one… My Elect one. My Chosen One.
23. …in whom I delight. I delight in Him. I have put my Spirit upon him; he will reveal justice to the nations of the world. 2He will be gentle—he will not shout nor quarrel in the streets.
24. He will be gentle. He will be gentle. He will not quarrel nor what? …he will not shout nor quarrel in the streets.
25. Brethren what do we say? The Commander of the Armies of Heaven is here, to whom we have gathered. We are trying to reveal and recognize Him. And then you know, when He is here, He is securing us.
26. If you acknowledge him to be the One, definitely you have no problem again. He asks you to do this, you do it. Come, you come. Go, you go. There will be no problem again, for He made everything for His own pleasure.
27. He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the dimly burning flame. He will encourage the fainthearted, those tempted to despair.
28. He will see full justice given to all who have been wronged. He won’t be satisfied until truth and righteousness prevail throughout the earth,…
29. Remember it said, “This is the son of man with whom is what? Righteousness.” That was what I read in Enoch now. Did I not read it? He is the epitome of Truth. And He Himself is righteousness.
30. No wonder the Scriptures called Him the Righteous Branch. [Jeremiah 23:5 – 6]
WHO DO YOU SAY I [THE SON OF MAN] AM?
18/8/2019 Chapter 3:1-11
Chapter 4
ETHIOPIC BOOK OF ENOCH
And there I saw One whose face looked ancient, His head was white like wool, and with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man, and his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels.
1. And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that Son of Man, who he was, and where came from, and why he went with the Ancient One? And he answered and said to me:
2. “This is the Son of Man who hath righteousness, with whom dwells righteousness, and who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden, because the Lord of spirits hath chosen him, and whose lot has preeminence before the Lord of spirits in righteousness and is forever.
3. And this Son of Man whom you have seen shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats, and the strong from their thrones and shall loosen the reins of the strong, and break the teeth of the sinners.
4. And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and kingdoms because they do not exalt and praise Him, nor humbly acknowledge who bestowed their kingdom on them. 1 Enoch 46:1-5.
5. And at that hour that Son of Man was named in the presence of the Lord of spirits, And his name was brought before the Head of Days.
6. Even before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of spirits.
7. He shall be a staff to the righteous and they shall steady themselves and not fall. And he shall be the light of the Gentiles, and the hope of those who are troubled of heart. All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him, and will praise and bless and sing and celebrate the Lord of spirits.
8. And for this reason he has been chosen and hidden in front of (kept safe by) Him, before the creation of the world and for evermore. 1 Enoch 48:2-6.
9. And the Head of Days came with Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, and thousands and ten thousands of angels without number.
10. And the angel came to me and greeted me with his voice, and said to me ‘This is the Son of Man who is born to righteousness, and righteousness abides over him, and the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes him not.’
11. And he said to me: ‘He proclaims to you peace in the name of the world to come; for from there peace has proceeded since the creation of the world, and it shall be with you forever and for ever and ever. 1 Enoch 71:1 3-15.

JUDAISM
29. As recently as 1974 Norman Perrin could claim that all the recent studies of the ISON OF MAN PROBLEM ‘he had reviewed agreed on one point: ‘there existed in ancient Judaism a defined concept of the apocalyptic Son of Man, the concept of a heavenly Redeemer Figure whose coming to earth as judge would be a feature of the drama of the End time.’ https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/new-testament-studies/article/son-of-man-in-firstcentury- judaism/195A44A0D986E0396F68415999504EA2 – John J. Collins, The Son of Man in first-century Judaism
30. Descendent of King David, he will usher in an era of world peace. The final Messiah will be a normal human being, born of human parents. It is thus possible that he is already born.
31. Similarly, the Messiah will be mortal… The final Messiah will be the greatest leader and political genius that the world has ever seen. He will likewise be the wisest man ever to have lived.
32. He will put these extraordinary talents to use to precipitate a worldwide revolution, which will bring perfect social justice to humanity, and influence all people to serve God with a pure heart. – Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.

ANCIENT BOOK OF GAD THE SEER
39. And it came to pass on the first day of the seventh month, at New Year’s, in the four hundred and seventy-eighth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the second year of King Solomon’s reign over Israel, I had a vision from the LORD, when I was upon the Gihon spring.
40. And I raised my eyes, and lo, the heavens rolled back like a scroll, and I saw the glory of the LORD, sitting on an extremely high throne.
41. And here is the appearance of the throne: twelve stairs led up to the throne (six gold and six silver), and there was a square back to the throne, like a sapphire stone. And at its right side were three chairs and at its left side were four chairs like the seven that see the king’s face, covered with gold and silver and precious stones.
42. And the glory of the LORD had the appearance like that of the rainbow, His covenant. And the host of heaven were standing before Him on His right hand and on His left, and Satan was standing by them, but behind them.
43. And then a man dressed in linen brought before the glory of the LORD three books that contained the records of every man. And he read the first book and it contained the just deeds of His people, and the LORD said, “These are granted eternal life.” And Satan said, “Who are these 45 guilty people?” And the man dressed in linen cried to Satan like a ram’s horn saying, “Silence! This day is holy to our Lord.” And he read the second book, and it contained the unintentional sins of His people, and the LORD said, “Put that book aside, but save it, until one third of the month passes a to see what they will do.”
44. And he read the thirds of His book. and it contained the wicked deeds of his people. And the LORD said to Satan, These are your share. Take them and do what you want with them.” And Satan took the wicked to a waste land to destroy them there.
45. And the man dressed in linen cried like a ram’s horn, saying: “Blessed are the people who know the joyful shout, O LORD, who walk in the light of Your countenance.” – The Ancient Book of Gad the Seer, 14. The Great Tribulation (Rosh Hashanah 2926 AM, 999 BC)

47. HINDU REVELATION ABOUT MAHDI, CHRIST, KRISHNA, SHAH-BAHRAM, KALKI, MAITRAYA, MUHAMMAD, AVATAR, etc.
48. “Whenever there is a failing away from the true law [religion] and an upsurge of unlawfulness, then I emit myself. I come into being age after age, to protect the virtuous and to destroy the evil-doers, to establish a firm basis for the true law” Bhagavad Gita 4:7-8
BUDDHA (PROPHECIES)
49. “At that period, brethren, there will arise in the world an Exalted One named Maitreya, Fully Awakened, abounding in wisdom and goodness, happy, with knowledge of the worlds, unsurpassed as a guide to mortals willing to be led, a teacher for gods and men, an Exalted One, a Buddha, even as I am now.
50. He, by himself, will thoroughly know and see, as it were face to face, this universe, with Its worlds of the spirits, Its Brahmas and Its Maras, and Its world of recluses and Brahmins, of princes and peoples, even as I now, by myself, thoroughly know and see them.” Digha Nikaya, 26
51. This prophecy by Guatama Buddha is very ambiguous, that is to say, it has very few details that allow us to probe into it and extract details that predict when Maitreya will come.
52. The above passage clearly predicts, as so many other religions of the world have, that when society degrades and God (and His religion) are thought of as second to intellectualism, then the Savior will appear.
ISLAMIC HADITH
53. “In this hadith, our Prophet (saas) tells us that MUSLIMS, JEWS and CHRISTIANS are all awaiting the same Saviour, and that ALL THREE FAITHS ARE AWAITING HAZRAT MAHDI (as).

54. “If Allah permits you to see this, RUN TO SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO HIM [FOLLOW HIM] AND NEVER ABANDON HIM. IF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL, NEVER ABANDON HINA, IF YOU REACH HIM AND FIND THE TRUE PATH”.
55. A hand he pointed to his chest — how | long to see him. LET NOTHING HOLD YOU BACK FROM SWEARING ALLEGIANCE TO HIM [FROM BEING HIS FOLLOWER, FROM FOLLOWING HIM], those who hold you back are those who have always sought refuge in corruption.
56. If they speak, they speak evil and if they are silent, they are impious and perverse.” –Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 252
57. “There will come a time upon the people when nothing will remain of Islam except its name and nothing will remain of the Quran except its inscription.

59. “By the One who owns my soul, itis nigh, of a certainty that the son of Mary will appear among you. He will be a judge, he will be just; so, he will break the cross (refute Christian doctrines with reason and arguments–Commentary on Bukhari by Ainee) and kill the swine (a figurative speech denoting greedy, dirty and annoying person– an abomination. Killing also is through spiritual means); and he will stop war.”— Bukhari, Vol. 1, Babo Nozooliisa

Chapter 5
MESSAGE TO THE BLACK MAN IN
AMERICA – ELIJAH MOHAMMED
You must forget about ever seeing the return of Jesus, Who was here 2,000 years ago. Set your heart on seeing the One that He prophesied would come at the end of the present world’s time (the while race’s time). He is called the “Son of Man,” the “Christ,” the “Comforter.”
1. You are foolish to be looking to see the return of the Prophet Jesus. lt is the same as looking for the return of Abraham, Moses and Muhammad. All of these prophets prophesied the coming of Allah or one with equal power, under many names.
2. You must remember that Jesus could not have been referring to Himself as returning to the people in the last days. He prophesied of another’s coming who was much greater than He.
3. …No one has been able to tell us the hour of the judgment. No one but He, the great all wise God, Allah. He‘s called the “Son of Man,” the “Mahdi”, the “Christ”. The prophets, Jesus included, could only foretell those things, which would serve as signs, signs that would precede such a great one’s coming to judge the world.
4. The knowledge of the hour of judgment is with the Executor only. The prophets teach us to let the past judgments of people, their cities, and their warner’s serve as a lesson, or sign of the last judgment and its warner’s.
5. Noah did not know the hour of the flood. Lot did not know the Hour of Sodom and Gomorrah until the Executors had arrived, and Jesus prophesied; ( Matt.24:37 39), “it will be the same in the last judgment of the world of Satan.”— Elijah Mohammed. Message to the Black Man in America.
6. Page 12 Chapter 6 verse 2 to 5 “Let us reflect on this prophecy from the direction in which this Son shall come, “out of the East.” If He is to come from the East, to chastise or destroy that of the West, then He must be pleased with the East. The dominant religion of the East is Islam.
7. The holy religious teachings of all the prophets, from Adam to Muhammad was none other than Islam (Holy Qur-an 4;16), they all were of the East and came from that direction with the light of Truth and shone toward the old wicked darkness of the West.
8. But the West has ever closed its eyes and thus making it necessary for the coming of the Son of Man, the Great Mahdi, God in person. 14 Being the end of the signs, in His person, He dispels falsehood with the truth as the sun dispels night on it’s rising from the East.
9. Why should the tribes of the earth mourn because of the coming of the Son of Man, instead of rejoicing? Elijah Mohammed. Message to the Black Man in America; page 15 Chapter 6 verse 13 to14
THE SON OF MAN – SPOKEN WORD
10. God is found in the East and not in the West. That is why i am not a Christian. l am a Child of God posted here for a purpose, but | know My homeland; My homeland is in the East and not the West.
11. Then you begin to appreciate why | have always justified the Muslims. GODIS A MUSLIM, BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN. Thus, any attack on Muslims is an attack on God.
12. It is hard to believe. Now, let me ask you a question: if you are asked to trace the old-time religion, the religion of Moses, where will you go to? East or West? Who knows the old-time religion of today? Is it the West or the East? It is from the East.
13. Is that not true? The great rabbis all came from the East; no rabbi has ever come from the West and no rabbi will ever come from the West. You can only see impersonations in the West. Whatever you see in the West is mere impersonation; the original is always in the East. Even Abraham is a native of Iraq. Don’t you know that it is the home of our fathers that is being attacked?
14. The enemies are attacking My home for I am a native of Iraq. You know that there are many things we dare not say; maybe, you do not believe that God is found in despised places. — The Son of Man. Apostle Peter Odoemena: No Hiding Place (23/03/2003) Pages 124-125 vs 29-32
MORMONISM
15. “For behold, the time cometh, and is no far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipresent who reigneth; who was, and is from all eternity; to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth among men.” Book of Mormon, Mosiah chapter 3 verse 5
GRAIL MESSAGE – IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH
16. Jesus spoke of the Coming of the Son of Man as the last possibility of salvation, and also pointed out that with His Coming the Judgment would commence and that those who are still not willing, in other words, who, because of their own stubbornness or indolence, are not ready to accept enlightenment, would be irretrievably cast out. – Abd-ru-shin: “In the Light of Truth”, The Grail Message. Page 461
17. The Son of Man! A veil is still shrouding Him and His time. While a vague sense of anticipation awakens in many a spirit, a longing for the Day of His Coming.
18. many of those who feel this longing will probably pass Him by unawares and will not wish to know Him, because their expectations made them believe in a different kind of fulfillment. – Abd-ru-shin: “In the Light of Truth”, The Grail Message. Page 462
19. The Mission of the Son of Man is the continuation and consummation of the Mission of the Son of God, since the Mission of the Son of God could only be a transient one.
20. Hence in the continuation and completion it is at the same time a reinforcement of Christ’s mission. Whereas the Son of God was born directly into His earthly Mission, the Son of Man had to traverse a far wider sphere before He could enter into the beginning of His actual Mission. – Abd-ru-shin: “In the Light of Truth”, The Grail Message. Page 463
21. It is not up to human will to someday elect the Son of Man sent by God, but the Power of God will uplift Him at the hour when a helpless whimpering humankind begs for deliverance.
22. Then all blasphemy will cease, because horror will silence these mouths, and they will accept willingly all the gifts the Creator offers His creatures through His Envoy! But he who will not accept them from him shall be cast out for all eternity. – Abd-ru-shin: “In the Light of Truth”, The Grail Message. Page 465
PROPHET WILLIAM BRANHAM- END TIME MESSAGE
23. So, I’ve being watching something. Has it slipped by us in humility and we have missed it? Is it gone and the church is left in her sins? If that be so, then it’s later than you think. If not, then there’s coming one with a Message that’s straight on the Bible, and quick work will circle the earth.
24. The seeds will go in newspapers, reading material, until every predestinated seed of God has heard it. None of them will come unless the Father has drawed them, and everyone the Father has drawed will hear It and come. That’ll be, the predestinated Seed will hear the Word”. – Prophet Branham, COD – Conduct Order Doctrine. Vol. Il. Page 724. Para 1 79
THE SON OF MAN – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA
25. I told you I am not a preacher. From the very beginning, I am not the messenger of any age. I am the Light of the World. That’s all! I am not a messenger of any age.
26. If I am a messenger, whose messenger? Who can this man be his messenger? I am only the mask covering the deity. How can I be a messenger? Did I introduce myself as a messenger before?
27. A messenger of which age? I am He that walked and still is walking in the midst of the seven candle sticks. I am here to gather all the loose ends and do what? Present Christ to the Bride, and not to the world.
28. I came for a purpose and the purpose is fulfilled. Have I not presented Christ to the Bride? From a little group out there in the wilderness, setting out, believing His word, God will present Himself a Bride. Bride of the Word. —The Son of Man: God’s presence is His glory. Vol 2. Chp 2:1-5. 10/11/2019. Onitsha.
29. God said that the Bridal Ministry is the continuation of the Apostolic Ministry, to gather the loose ends (things not fully taught, or left out or not revealed by past messengers of God) 4 |William Branham said that it was the completion of the whole work of God on earth and then round off the program. — The Son of Man: Re-examine your faith Chp 8:2-3. 6/12 /2007.
GOD HAS BRANDED US
30. 2nd Corinthians chapter 1 verse 21-22: “Now he which establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
31. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.” KJV.
32. “It is this God who has made you and me into faithful Christians and commissioned us Apostles to preach the good news. He has put His brand upon us, His mark of ownership”.
33. He has put His brand upon us, His mark of ownership. Is it mark of the beast? No! Children of God have God’s mark of ownership stamped as a seal. Glory be to God in the highest.
34. “…It is this God who has made you and me into faithful Christians and commissioned us Apostles to preach the good news. He has put His brand upon us, His mark of ownership and given us His Holy Spirit in our hearts as guarantee.”
35. As what? Guarantee. By the witnesses of two or three shall the truth be established!
36. “…He has put His brand upon us, His mark of ownership and given us His Holy Spirit in our hearts as guarantee that we belong to Him and as the first instalment of all that He is going to give us”. LB.
37. “But it is God who confirms and makes us steadfast and establishes us in joint fellowship with you in Christ, and has consecrated and anointed us enduing us with the spirit of the Holy Spirit. He has also appropriated and acknowledged us as His”.
38. He has also appropriated and acknowledged us as His. Who can drag me away from the hand of God? Nobody. Jesus Christ made it clear that whatever that is placed into his hand is secured; He said, “Nothing can snatch it away from my hand”.
39. “…He has also appropriated and acknowledged us as His by putting His seal upon us”.
40. Note, by putting His seal upon us. He has given us His Holy Spirit in our heart as the security deposit”. As security deposit. You know what the security deposit is? That is what Central Bank demands from all banks: security against collapse. Hence, I am secured eternally in Him. Security deposit, down payment had already been deposited. You know what security deposit is? Goods that are already secured and paid for.
41. It pays to worship God in the place where He has chosen to place His Name. That is why He warned His people right from the Old Testament saying, “Do not place your sacrifices anywhere you see people gathering and say they are worshipping. Your sacrifices must be placed only in the place where Jehovah has chosen to place His Name”.
42. Any sacrifice placed outside there is a misplaced sacrifice and God can never attend to it. That is why I read from His word that all denominations are misplacing their sacrifices, the same way they are misplacing their faith. Go back to the message titled “Misplaced Faith”.
43. If your faith is placed on signs and wonders, miracles, healing, you have a misplaced faith. Your faith must be placed on the Solid Rock which is the Word of God, which is Christ Himself. Signs and wonders will cease, tongues will cease, prophecies will cease but the Word abideth forever. For the Name of God is the Word of God.
44. Your security deposit has been paid. Who made this declaration? God! Who can change it? Nobody! That is why God said, “Man’s unbelief, man’s unfaithfulness can never make the Word of God of non-effect”. Where will it be of non-effect? In those that did not believe. Those that heard it without putting it in practice.
45. “Be ye not the hearers of the word alone, deceiving yourself but be doers.” Call me whatever you want to call me, it is your right. Criticize me whether constructively or destructively, it is your right. The truth will remain the truth. We can do nothing against the truth; we are for the truth for the truth of God reacheth unto the clouds.
46. What God confirms, what God vindicates is not the individual; God confirms the truth. He vindicates the truth. Maybe you do not know that Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
47. I am important to God. If anybody asks you, tell the person that you are important to God. I am important to God, if I am not important to Him, He will not put me in this ministry. He created all flesh, He left this one and left the other person, asked me to enter inside. Putting me in this ministry among those that will be saved. Those He will call His children, I am important to Him. Those that He did not call to Himself will perish.
48. Do you know how many angels that voted for you? Salvation is by Election because many are called but few are chosen. If everybody will be saved, then there is no need for Election, because many are called but few are chosen; for that reason, Election is necessary. AS WE WAIT AT THE GATE OF PARADISE (Volume 2) 1/9/2011 Chapter 1:4
49. And he answered me, saying, “The Most High has made this world for many, but the world to come, for few. 2 Ezra 8:1
50. There are many created, but few will be saved.” 2 Ezra 8:3
51. WHEN GOD WANTS TO SAVE A MAN, HE BRINGS HIM IN CONTACT WITH THE TRUTH. That is all. Amen.
And God has succeeded through the message of the Son of Man, allotted to Him in this our Gentile dispensation of Grace to have a people He has controlled and He is still controlling them by His Word. And we are living beneficiaries. We are happy that we are among the saved. When the votes were taken up there with God, of the people that will be on the earth during the time the Son of Man will appear, most of the angels were interested to know the type of people. Even the prophets were saying, rejoicing that they were the people the message was being spoken to, until God said, “This message you are prophesying will never happen in your day. You will not be beneficiaries of this ministry.”
They started wondering, “What manner of people will be on earth? How will they look like? What manner of people will be on earth, when the Elohim will appear and answer the Son of Man in this dispensation of grace when God will control His people by His Spoken Word. See us here. We are the beneficiaries. We are the people God counted to be favoured, that you and I are the ones God is controlling by His Word. Certain times, you think there is nothing you can do. Really, there is nothing you can do. Sometimes, you see yourself obeying the word.
HAVING A PERFECT UNDERSTANDING OF THE FAITH (The Bridal Faith) Volume 1 29/3/2015 Chapter 3:2-6
We are very grateful to God Who before the world began has purposed to save us in these last days we are living in. He Himself purposed it, He Himself planned it; when we have not come into existence in this world, He planned the whole thing and in the dispensation of time He made all of us to manifest and He Himself equally manifested.
TESTIMONY OF A TRUE WITNESS
28/8/2011 Chapter 1:1
ACTS 1:3 AMP
To them also He showed Himself alive after His passion (His suffering in the garden and on the cross) by [a series of] many convincing demonstrations [unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs], appearing to them during forty days and talking [to them] about the things of the kingdom of God.
By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Exo. 13:21 NIV
IF YOU ARE NOT CALLED TO QUESTION CONCERNING YOUR VARIOUS CHARACTERS, GOD HAS SET HIS WORD ASIDE, HE HAS MADE HIS WORD OF NON-EFFECT, AND FAR BE IT FROM GOD. YOU MUST GIVE GOD REASON WHY YOU ARE SAYING NO TO HIS WORD, YOU MUST GIVE WHAT? A REASON; THAT WHICH YOU ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE THE TRUTH FROM GOD, YOU ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS THE GOD OF THIS AGE BUT YET NOT TAKING HIS WORD SERIOUSLY, OBEYING HIS WORD BECOMES DIFFICULT FOR YOU, YOU MUST TELL GOD WHY.

CHAPTER 6
THE SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE OF HIS
PRESENCE AMONG HIS PEOPLE
Second Corinthians 1:21-22, “…But it is God who confirms and makes us steadfast and establishes us in joint fellowship with you in Christ”.
1. Joint fellowship with you in Christ. Both He that sanctifies and they that are sanctified are all but one for which cause He is not ashamed calling them “my brethren.”
2. Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters Heb. 11:2 NIV
3. This is His purpose concerning us which he purposed in Himself before the world began.
4. “…And has consecrated and anointed us enduing us with the spirit of the Holy Spirit. He has also appropriated and acknowledged us as His by putting His seal upon us and giving us His Holy Spirit in our hearts as the security deposit and guarantee of the fulfilment of His promise”. Amplified.
5. “Now he which establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.” KJV.
6. Remove your eyes from Brother Peter Odoemena, look at the Headstone. Greater than Peter Odoemena is already in your midst. I am just a vessel, He is the Deity. I am only a vessel He is using, CALL ME THE MASK; CALL HIM THE MASQUERADE.
7. Who hath also sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. What makes a man a masquerade is he that is wearing the mask. For there can never be any movement of the mask without a man inside.
8. The Resurrected Body 7/4/1996 Chapter 2:68-71 When you have a masquerade, the masquerade will demonstrate in the spirit of the flute. The mask will not rejoice more than the person putting on the masquerade. What is inside the masquerade shows the attitude and behaviour through the mask. If the masquerade beats somebody, what beats that person was not the mask, it was something that was inside the mask.
9. Whatever the masquerade does, that is what, what is inside does. Whatever the masquerade utters is what whatever that is inside utters. In other words, whatever that is inside the masquerade must know the masquerade. Moreover, the masquerade cannot speak, unless what is inside speaks. Is that the message?
10. If you want to see what is inside, look at the masquerade. If you cannot recognize the mask, you cannot recognise what is inside. The works the masquerade is doing is not the masquerade but what is in the mask because whatever that is in the mask is greater than the mask. That is why the mask will dance to the tune of what is inside. Is that not the message of the hour? That is the revelation of the hour.
11. If you want to know Him, you will know Him. I will show you something because I will place a sign that will stumble all. Except He that is in Him from the foundation of the world and then that day, you will know that I am He. Glory be to God because He is just winding up His program and He cannot do it without Himself.
12. Every masquerade has a man within. Is it a lie? If you go to the market where they are selling the mask, it is there lifeless. It will be there people will be pricing it. But when you buy it and Pastor Dan dresses and enters into it, with cane in his hand, everybody will be running away.
13. HAVING A PERFECT UNDERSTANDING OF THE FAITH (The Bridal Faith) Volume 1 Preached Sunday, March 29th 2015 :14-11, 15-16 No matter how big the Ijele masquerade may look, do you have two persons inside it? No matter how many wrappers were used in the construction of the masquerade, can the person inside of the masquerade see where he is going? Does the person inside see where he is going? Does the person that is running away from the masquerade know who is inside the masquerade?
14. The person inside a masquerade sees you, but you can never see the person inside the masquerade no matter how much you look at it. Because you can see that it has two legs, you know it is a human being that is inside, but talk of the person inside, you do not know.
15. The owners of the masquerade are the only people that know the person inside the masquerade.
16. Does the Ijele masquerade come out alone? Does the Ijele masquerade come out alone? Ijele masquerade that is making an outing belongs to some people. Both the wives and daughters of the community, even the children of the man inside knows the person inside the masquerade.
17. … This Ijele belongs to some people. Some people showcased this Ijele. The people who showcased this Ijele know the person that is inside the Ijele masquerade. It is taken in turn. There can never be two people inside the Ijele masquerade at a time.
18. No matter how big the Ijele masquerade may look, only one person carries it. Other members will be following behind and chanting songs for the masquerade.
19. I can of myself do nothing. It is God that stablisheth us, not a man; not any other person. Look at where our faith is resting; our faith is not resting on any man but on the Deity, the evidence of God’s presence in all the ages among His people. Something that has not been impersonated since the world began. The Supernatural evidence of His presence among His people.
20. Remember that when Jesus Christ appeared here, He made the lame to walk. He made the blind to see, he performed many, many miracles. Is it not true?
21. The Jews were there, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, they were there as witnesses. They saw all those things. Yet He said, “Except you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” Look at the question they posed at Him, “Show us a sign that we may believe in you.” They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? John 6:30 KJV.
22. If the dead will resurrect, it has happened before. Even in the Old Testament, a lot of dead people resurrected in the ministry of the Prophets. Is it not true? Blind people saw, barren women conceived, right from the Old Testament. Jesus Christ coming to repeat those things, they are nothing.
23. “You are saying you are God Almighty, that we must believe in you, and you know we are not Gentiles who can believe anyhow. We are Jews, the God belong to us. Show us a sign that we may believe.”
24. They were looking for something, for there is only one thing the Jews will see and they will know that Jehovah is among them. It is not making the blind to see, the lame to walk, no. they have seen a lot of those things. But there is one thing they will see.
25. He noticed the unbelief in them and said, “You will see no other sign than the sign of Jonah”. That one stumbled them the more. Are you surprised why the people are jubilating that the Deity has been revealed among God’s children in the Gentile world?
26. If it does not happen, how can the scriptures be fulfilled?
27. I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet[e] in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! Job 19:25-27 NIV
28. “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that he will stand upon the earth at last. And I know that after this body has decayed, this body shall see God! [a] Then he will be on my side! Yes, I shall see him, not as a stranger, but as a friend! What a glorious hope! Job 19:25-27 LB
29. Somebody who was criticizing us before, according to Him, he was criticizing us. We do not know him in person.
30. We read one letter from NYSC camp, Owerri where corps members were making their views known to everybody concerning the Bridal Faith. They have never seen such a thing, it is unbelievable. They said that no man can do it, “This is nothing but the Supernatural that lives unguidedly; Who operates without a guide; that is the only person that can do it.”
31. Look at this one, I heard about it and I say print it out. Even if you call us devil, it is your right. Call me whatever you want to call me, I am what I am.
32. If I am a devil and you call me God, it can never change me. I am a devil. If I am God and you call me devil, it can never change. It can never add, it can never subtract.
33. I AM A BIG ELEPHANT, WHATEVER YOU CALL ME DEPENDS ON THE AREA YOU ARE TOUCHING ME. CATCH IT THAT WAY, THAT IS ALL. WHATEVER YOU THINK I AM, IT IS WHAT I AM TO YOU. WHATEVER YOU THINK I AM, IT IS WHAT I AM TO YOU AND I CANNOT CHANGE IT.
CONVICTION IS DIVINE AND AN EXPERIENCE
34. A message from your contact point: name, Daniel. Topic: Greetings. I want to thank the Son of Man whom God is upon in the fullness for opening my eyes to discover the God of my day”.
35. Assuming we did not go worldwide, what would have happened? Remember how we came about this Bride of Christ ministry worldwide. Nobody ever came to the pulpit to announce it. We were answering Bride of Christ ministry.
36. When we went to Obosima to bury our late Bishop Columbus, the chairman of Obosima community, while introducing us to his people, called us the Bride of Christ ministry, worldwide. And I accepted it in principle and in practice; knowing that God put that prophecy into the mouth of the man that this ministry must go worldwide according to the prophecy of William Branham.
37. Jesus Christ said, “The message of the Kingdom must be preached to all the ends of the Earth and then the end shall come”. With the websites, the message of the Kingdom has been preached to all the ends of the Earth. The message of the Son of Man has entered where the Bible is refused.
38. The message goes across valley. There are too many countries where the Bible has never entered since the world began; there are too many countries where the name of Jesus attracts a death penalty. But this message has penetrated every family.
39. The world is without excuse. I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT. I HAVE WON THE BATTLE; I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH. I have lived within my commission, the isles have seen the judgement of God.
40. I thank the Almighty who gave Me the courage to remain steadfast, immovable and unshakable, in spite of all oppositions, scandals and criticizisms.
41. “…I want to thank the Son of Man whom God is upon in the fullness for opening my eyes to discover the God of my day and to know that HE is HE”.
42. Note, the man said, “To know that HE is HE.” What makes him a heathen? Do you know him? What did I tell you during our last camp meeting? That you will see many people coming from the East and West, North and South worldwide, whose faces you have never seen.
43. Where they are worshipping God, you do not know. For God has placed the messages there, believing that every true elect of God must be positionaly placed where he will not only recognize what God is doing in his day, but will be a partaker.
44. I believe every true seed of God is part of what God is doing in his day. No matter where he is located, God knows how to meet him there. I do not know where this man is, but God met him there.
45. “…I want to thank the Son of Man whom God is upon in the fullness for opening my eyes to discover the God of my day and also to know that HE is He, the Supreme Deity…”
46. Who? He is He, the Supreme Deity. Something that is hard for many to accept, this man is a seed of God. Using even our language that He is indeed the God the Supreme Deity.
47. NOTE, NOT THAT THE DEITY DWELLS IN HIM BUT HE IS THE SUPREME DEITY.
48. He is talking like the Presbyterian who saw the thing and marvelled. Said, “I am a Seventh-Day Adventist member. We use artist to draw the thing so as to tell our members that God exists in the Supernatural Cloud. But we have never seen the thing real, and we never believe it could be real.
49. Do you know that when you mention Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Cloud, Thick Smoke; people believe it was what happened in those days among the Jews in the wilderness? But they said God is the same yesterday, today and forever and He changeth not. “How can it happen in their midst? Never, never!”
50. “…I want to thank the Son of Man whom God is upon in the fullness for opening my eyes to discover the God of my day and also to know that HE is He the Supreme Deity. That is, the Elohim that is in form of man…”
51. That is, the Elohim in the form of man.
52. “…Actually, a friend of mine gave me some of His books to read. At first, I was condemning him.”
53. At first he was condemning Him. St. Paul said, “I persecuted the truth and persecute those that are holding the Gospel of Christ, but I did it ignorantly”.
54. You can be sincerely wrong. There are too many sincere people in the denominations but they do not know they are wrong. With every amount of sincerity, you can persecute this truth. For this is the only truth that resembles a lie. Why? Lies have been ruling the world for ages.
55. What is killing the people is nothing but inherited religion, something they inherited from their fathers without verification. They carried it along and propagated it anyhow. If God could call us out, He could also call all His people out.
56. “…At first, I was condemning Him and always ague with Him. But after I have finished reading these two books, ‘Change Your Heart and Mind, and ‘Recognize Your Day and Its Own Message,’ I was totally convinced”.
57. Have I not told you that you must know the day God met you? You must know the day you came face to face with God. The day that change took place in your life, the day that thing where your faith hanged, the day it took place, you must know it. You see how he quoted the two messages, namely, ‘Change Your Heart and Mind, and ‘Recognize Your Day and Its Own Message,’ and he read them in the web.
58. “…But after I have finished reading these two books, ‘Change Your Heart and Mind, and ‘Recognize Your Day and Its Own Message,’ I was totally convinced that the Son of Man is God! I pray that He should help me remain in His sanctified estate through Peter the Christ”.
59. You see, our Brother saw it in the contact point in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State and printed it because he is my website manager. He manages the Bridal websites.
60. I told you that the exit of the Son of Man from the scene can never stop the move again. The move is on, but as I stay in this flesh to you is profitable but to me it is still very painful.
61. To you, your prayer is that I should live on but to Me; I feel like departing because this flesh has suffered terribly. Do you know how long I have stayed here on Earth?
62. I got a prophecy in July 1997: “MY SERVANT, IT IS MY DESIRE TO WELCOME YOU HOME, COME AND FILL YOUR GAP AGAIN WITH THE HOST OF ANGELS FOR YOU HAVE SOJOURNED ON EARTH FOR TOO LONG. THEY HAVE WEARIED YOU DOWN, COME BACK THAT I MAY COMFORT YOU.”
63. The Voice said again, “Not yet my Lord; not yet my Lord. Let me bear with them, not willing that any should perish. Just grant Me a little time, let me keep on working on them. Somebody must be saved.” Already somebody has been saved.
64. “…Now he which establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.” KJV.
65. “Now, it is God who made both us and you stand firm in Christ…”
66. It is who? God who made both us and you stand firm in Christ. You are not the one holding yourself; I am not the one holding myself. Those that left, are we better than them? No! Those that died, are we better than them? No! Those that heard the message and said “God forbid”, are we better than them? No! It is this message that you heard and believed, that some other person heard and ran away.
67. “…Now, it is God who made both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us, and put His spirit in our heart as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come”.
68. Note, guaranteeing what is to come. KNOWING WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT YOUR FUTURE HOLDS. YOU NOT ONLY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE HEADING TO AND NOTHING CAN DISTRACT YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE WE HAVE REACHED A POINT OF NO RETURN.
69. If we draw back, we draw back unto perdition. We move forward, we move forward to the saving of our souls. When we draw back, the spirit of God will no longer be pleased with us for He has made known unto us both His visible and invisible attributes, hence we are without excuse. This is the only ground and pillar of truth.
70. We are not a denomination. We are at liberty in this Church, no one is in bondage. And we do not persuade any to believe us, no. You have no right to believe until you are sure and convinced. If you are not convinced, do not be concerned. Whatever we are saying does not concern you unless you are fully convinced and you are sure.
71. That was what Peter said, “To whom do we go to, seeing that you alone have the Word of Eternal life and we are sure and certain.” CONVICTION IS AN EXPERIENCE. Any man that is convinced against his conviction was never convinced: “I was convinced before, but I do not know what He was saying! In short I lost my conviction.”
72. Let me tell you, you were never convinced. When you are convinced, sure and certain, let the Heavens fall; you become one and one alone, one in the million. One with God is greater than majority. Amen.

Chapter 7
GOD’S OWNERSHIP
Galatians 6:16 – 17: “And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” KJV
1. “May God’s mercy and peace be upon all of you who live by this principle and upon those everywhere who are really God’s own.
2. From now on please don’t argue with me about these things, for I carry on my body the scars of the whippings and wounds from Jesus’ enemies that mark me as his slave.” LB.
3. And mercy upon the Israel of God, as many that walk according to this Godly principle, circumcision of the heart and not of the flesh, circumcision of the mind and not the flesh.
4. All that will obey this Message, the Bible said that the mercy of the Lord will be to all of them, may His Grace abide unto you, the Israel of God.
5. This Israel of God, is it referring to the Jewish nation? This Israel of God in Galatians, note that Galatians was a Church in Asia Minor. Asia Minor is not a Jewish land, it is a Gentile land. When we say the Gentile world, Nigeria is a Gentile nation. If you do not know, know it. Any nation outside the Jews is a Gentile.
6. We were concluded in unbelief with the Gentiles because from the beginning we manifested it, when we said no to Muslim, that we could not go any longer, that we could not join hands to fight the people in foreign land, we decided to settle with heathens and the Lord concluded us as idolaters. Now, the hour has come when we shall cross over to the other side where we shall have our inheritance. God is referring to the Israel of God which you are one of them.
7. The true Israel of God is the Church; the Church has nothing to do with physical circumcision but spiritual circumcision: circumcision of the heart, circumcision of the mind, cleanse your heart and be no more stubborn to God’s Word. The Church of God is the Israel of God. In other words, the Church of God is God’s own nation. Is it not scriptural?
8. You are a holy people, royal nation, and peculiar people. Do you know what the Bible calls the Church, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people unto God? What is Israel? Is Israel not a peculiar nation, royal priesthood unto God? The Scriptures cannot be broken. Remember we are not here alone, Haggai’s children are here with us. Keturah’s children are also with us. Because when we were dispersed to all over the world, Keturah’s children were not left alone.
9. When Israel was scattered did He spare the children of Keturah, the children of Haggai, that is the Ishmaelites? They all were scattered with us. Wherever we ran to, the Moabites also ran there, Ishmaelites also ran with us. All that occupied that land, all were on the run—so they scattered. When you look at their colours to know whether they are Israelites, they are not.
10. I am saying that not all that are saying they are black or white belong to Israel. In other words, not all of you in this most holy Faith are children of God. Who is that person that is not a child of God? I do not know but they know that they are not children of God. I said I do not know if I should call you a heathen, you will say, “Brother, why discouraging me?” But you know whether you are a child of God or not.
11. If you do not know whether you are a child of God or not, you are a reprobate. You have been given over to reprobate spirit. Let me back it up immediately, you know the popular Scripture that says, “Not all Israelites are Israelites.”
12. Romans 2:28-29, “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
13. But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” KJV.
14. People that were claiming to be real Jews because their parents were Jews. Your parents can be Jews yet you are not a Jew. Your parents can be children of God yet you are not a child of God. Your father, your mother, or your grandfather, your mother’s mother or your lineage can be a Jew and yet you are not a Jew.
15. Your circumcision means nothing: “I am circumcised on 8th day,” both at the evidence, that does not make you a real Jew. You are a Jew in the flesh but you are not a true Jew, because both the generation of Haggai, Moab, Judah they are all circumcised. That does not make them real Jews; they are outside God’s programme.
16. If you understand this place say Amen! A real Jew is one whose heart is always right with God. A real child of God, a real Israelite is one whose heart is always right with God. If your heart is not right with God in this most holy Faith, although you are circumcised like us in this Faith, although you are carrying Bible, although you are sitting down in Bridal Ministry Church at Abuja, you are not a real Israelite. God does not know you, God’s ownership. We say no for you.
17. God will not mark you, God will not Ok your ticket, you are just an escort, an agboro. You know what agboro is all about? All this touts in the motor parks, they know the vehicles and where the vehicles are going to but they will never go with the vehicle: “Enter, enter, Abuja just five hundred Naira.” When the driver takes off, they stay back waiting for another vehicle.
18. Maybe we are not getting this Message. God is not looking for a full Church with one thousand persons who carry Bible, the Message for membership sake, God is saying no to that. God is looking for a family with a changed mind, changed character—that is exactly what I am saying. Individuals with changed mind, changed heart, changed character.
19. If you are in this Faith and you have vowed a vow that you will never change, you are a fool because the Bible said, “Though you put a fool in a mortar, pound him well, yet his foolishness will not depart and no man can change the nature of an Ethiopia, his colour remaineth the same.
20. God is looking for men and women, brethren with changed heart; they are the people of His choice.
21. For example, when I met this kind of plaiting of hair at Nsukka, I asked brethren, “Are they part of us?” They said no but I said, “looking at their mode of dressing, they are by far greater than our sisters, they are pretty well even more than our sisters, plaited their hair in a very nice and Godly way.” I think it is a custom in that land, looking at them you will conclude that they are one of us.
22. As a result, if you think that plaiting of hair is what makes you a child of God, you are making throttle neck, you are flipping your eyes from one side to another, you are perishing. God is looking for something more than that. When God is judging you I will show you where He is judging you from. When He is judging me, I will equally show you where He is judging me from. It is one standard of judgement. No partiality in His judgement, no partiality, no bribe.
23. Whosoever that has that change will get praise from God. God Almighty. Even if he does not get it from a human being, Almighty God will give the person praise. That is what we are all fighting for.
24. I do not want human commendation for man’s commendation is full of flattery. When you come into a house, sister will be serving you with precious food, then Sister Ruth will not commit sin again, “Precious sister, loving sister,” no other person is like that. Close your mouth, do you know what she is suffering inside because the fight is inside and not outside.
25. Some say, “I have never seen a brother like Brother Stephen Nwufo.” Close your mouth. You say, “When you come brother will receive you,” shut up your mouth, do you know what the brother is passing through inside?
26. Shut up your mouth, do you know what is happening inside the man? If you are to score a human being, you score him one million percent when God has not given him one percent. Amen.
