Preached On Sunday 10th November, 2019 At The Household of God, Onitsha By Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN
Please take note of it that you are a blessed people having God in person as your Teacher, as your Prophet, as your Apostle, as your Pastor, as your Evangelist, as your Deacon, as your Bishop, as your Elder, as your everything and all in all. Why am I saying this? We are Messengers of the same Message, no Messenger can have his own Message. The whole Message comes from One Source. The Messages come from a Pool. The Pool, which is the Pillar of Cloud, as you can see it in the photograph of the Pillar of cloud, is with us. He is a Vindicated Messenger, A Vindicated Apostle.
GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Preached on Sunday 2nd January, 2011; Pg. 100 vs. 39 – 42

HE THAT IS LEADING IS STILL IN CONTROL (4)
If God did not come down to vindicate Himself, the whole congregation everywhere is one,… Is there anything different between us and the rest? Is it not that God is in our midst as our Teacher? For God’s people must have Him in person as their Teacher.
2. You know what it takes to have somebody in person, Live! So that they shall say, “I WAS THERE. I HEARD HIM SPEAK. I HANDLED HIM WITH MY HAND.” IN SHORT, I WAS HIS STUDENT. I SAT DOWN IN HIS CLASS.
3. 20If God did not come down to vindicate Himself, the whole congregation everywhere is one, and they are all right in human eyes.
4. Without God coming down to vindicate HIS CHOSEN PLACE OF WORSHIP, HIS OWN APPROVED PEOPLE, every other gathering claims to be right, and they are right. It takes God to come and say, “This is the group that I have chosen; this is the only right group.” No more. No less.
5. Brethren have you seen Him anywhere else? Round the whole world, is there any other place that you have beheld Him? Have you seen why we do not plead with you to remain here? But when we see the terror of God, we persuade you to repent because you cannot bear the trouble.
6. If you cannot bear the trouble of common life imprisonment here, which will end when you die, how can you bear eternal punishment? One million years is not eternal. It is a number.
7. IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF GOING TO HELL, WHY ARE YOU NOT AFRAID OF BEING STUBBORN TO GOD? FOR YOUR STUBBORNESS MARKS YOU OUT AS AN IDOLATER.
8. NO MATTER HOW YOU JUMP UP AND CLAP YOUR HANDS, BEFORE GOD, YOU ARE AN IDOLATER BECAUSE OF YOUR STUBBORNNESS, YOUR INTRANSIGENCE AND HARD-HEARTEDNESS. IF YOU KNOW WHO IS TALKING TO YOU, HAPPY ARE YOU.
9. It takes God to come and say, “This is the group that I have chosen; this is the only right group.” No more. No less. THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED AMONG US. Amen.
10. I said, “I HAVE CALLED YOU MY PEOPLE. AND BECAUSE I HAVE CALLED YOU MY PEOPLE, IF YOU SIN AGAINST ME, I MUST PUNISH YOU, BUT I WILL NOT WITHDRAW MY LOVE FROM YOU.”
11. 21Not that we merited it, no, for it is His perfect will which He purposed in Himself for us before the world began, that in the dispensation of time, as many of us as will embrace the appearance of the Son of Man, shall be made acceptable in the Beloved. What?
12. 21NOT THAT WE MERITED IT, NO… No No No! It is not by merit.…FOR IT IS HIS PERFECT WILL WHICH HE PURPOSED IN HIMSELF FOR US BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN, THAT IN THE DISPENSATION OF TIME, AS MANY OF US AS WILL EMBRACE THE APPEARANCE OF THE SON OF MAN,…whenever He shall appear.
13. Remember, He is Hazrat Mahdi. The Holy Prophet said, “WHENEVER HE SHALL APPEAR, ABANDON ALL, RUN TO HIM, EMBRACE AND CLING TO HIM. NEVER DEPART, FOR HE IS THE ONE THAT LEADS YOU STRAIGHT TO ME. PARADISE!” He [The Prophet] said, “YOU WILL KNOW HIM IN THE LIGHT OF HIS BELIEF.”
14. 21NOT THAT WE MERITED IT. NO, FOR IT IS HIS PERFECT WILL WHICH HE PURPOSED IN HIMSELF FOR US BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN, THAT IN THE DISPENSATION OF TIME, AS MANY OF US AS WILL EMBRACE THE APPEARANCE OF THE SON OF MAN, SHALL BE MADE ACCEPTABLE IN THE BELOVED.NO MORE, NO LESS. THE REST ARE DECREED OUT. The rest are what? The rest are decreed out!
15. You see why you are in the minority? You see how narrow the gate is? The Narrowest Path. And Jesus saw it and said, “Narrow is that gate that leads to eternal life, but broad is the way that leads to eternal destruction.” He said, “Many are there that troop in daily into it.”
16. But for this narrow Path, he said, “ONLY A FEW FINDETH IT. STRIVE THAT YOU MAY ENTER.” IT SUFFERETH VIOLENCE AND THE VIOLENCE SNATCHES IT BY FORCE.
17. You do not go for eternal life with weakness of any sort. If you exercise weakness, you will definitely be stranded. You have to shine your eyes.
18. The Book of Enoch said, “Whenever He appears open your eyes.” [1 Enoch 62:1] Shine your eyes! Opening your eyes does not means folding out your eyes to assume the size of a drum. He said, “MAKE SURE HE DOES NOT PASS YOU BY.” Do not allow Him to pass you by. Once he passes you by, he has passed. Amen.
19. Do not worry. One day, we are going to have a night vigil. It is not going to be a vigil of teaching. A vigil of praises, for what He has done for us. A vigil of praises. A vigil of worship. A vigil of thanksgiving, for what he has already accomplished for us.
20. We will gather for no other reason till daybreak. Just thanking Him, praising Him, glorifying Him with songs of praise and testifying of His goodness till day break.
21. The announcement will be made so that whosoever that wants to be there should be there. Amen.
22. 22That is why we do not persuade anybody to believe us, no! We preach and leave it there, then say, “Believe it if you can.” Is it compulsory? Believe it if you can. If not, leave it there. It will not make us to be enemies. Finish!
23. We know that not everybody will believe for we know those that will believe and those that will believe not.
24. 23God can wipe away somebody’s name from the Book of Life. Period! Your name might be there in the beginning but before we get to the end, your name is no longer there. Many names have left the Book.
25. 24WHAT IS MORE? TO HELP US TO REMAIN STEADFAST, UNSHAKABLE AND IMMOVABLE IN HIM UNTO THE END, HE DECIDED TO GLORIFY HIMSELF FOR THE LAST TIME IN THE MIDST OF THE BRIDE…
26. By showing us His Original Body. We are no longer expecting the Cloud again, for we have seen the totality of the Divine personality and the Judge.
27. He said, “To make us stabilize. To Okay our ticket. To get us settled, rooted, grounded, immovable, unshakable.” So, we now have unshakable Faith. Immovable Faith. It is now that we can say, “We have Faith that has muscles.” Muscles!
28. If you do not know what God is doing, You will find yourself where falsehood is being spread as the word of God, but you will not know what to say. I am telling you the Truth.
29. There was one woman that was preaching on Friday. My son had already left for Upper Iweka where he went to board a vehicle. I was standing waiting for 8 o’clock before heading to where I wanted to go.
30. When she finished her preaching, she walked up to Me where I was leaning on the vehicle by the main road, “Eh! Good morning sir. Jesus is calling you. Jesus is calling you. The kingdom of God is calling you this morning. All the things I am saying here, it is Jesus that mandated me to be saying them. People have been passing by here. I saw you when you came and stood here. You have been listening to all I have been saying. Jesus said I should call you. we are having a crusade.”
31. When she was through with all she was saying, I asked her where the crusade will be and she said it is at the Lord’s Chosen [church] at Odoakpu. I said, “Thank you ma. What time did you stipulate for the crusade?” She replied, “4pm.”
32. I then asked her, “If I come there will I see Jesus?” She became quiet. I enquired, “Madam, did you understand what I am saying? This place you are inviting Me, am I coming to see you or your leader or will I see Jesus?”
33. She said, “I thought I told you that Jesus is there waiting for you and that he will do you good.” I asked again, “When I come there, will you lead Me to the place where I will see Jesus?” She struggled with the reply, “Are you going to be shown any other special person? Jesus is a spirit.”
34. I told her, “Wait! There were some people who came to see Jesus in the days of the Apostles. And they said, “We will like to see Jesus.” Who took them to show them Jesus? The Bible said, “Nathaniel held them.” Nathaniel led them by the hand and told them, “See Him.””
35. She told Me that that time is gone. I said “What? Hebrew 13:8 said, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.” And that he changeth not. Why is it that that time is past? Do you not believe that he will be with us even till the end? If you know that you will not show Me Jesus when I come to the crusade, let it be known to you that all you have been saying this morning are all lies.”
36. She now said, “What happens is that whoever that does not believe in the gospel of Jesus, while he is alive, he is guilty.” I said, “Yes. I do not believe in it.”
37. She turned again, “Did you say you do not believe? It is written on your face.”I told her that it is even in My mouth.
38. One man that was in his balcony upstairs watching the drama called on another and said, “The engine to this woman’s car has knocked this morning. She does not know the owner of the land where she has gone to fetch firewood. This woman would have behaved like the woman of Samaria. She does not know who she is talking with. She does not know that the personality she is talking with is one that is viewed with awe in this city. A man people are still wondering whether He is a man or a spirit. The engine of her car has knocked this morning.”
39. With her megaphone, she continued cursing and singing along as she walked away with the heavy pad of cloth on her head, all in the name of a scarf.
40. You see, she was preaching the Jesus she heard about, not Jesus she can identify. You that is preaching the God you had not seen, if He meets you on the way will you know Him?
41. WE WILL ONLY PREACH THE GOD WE KNOW AND WHOSE PERSONALITY IS VERY CLEAR TO US, SO THAT IF YOU DEMAND THAT WE SHOW YOU, WE WILL TAKE YOU TO HIS PRESENCE AND SAY, “BEHOLD HIM.” OUR OWN IS REAL. PRACTICAL. YOU WANT TO SEE HIM, FOLLOW ME, “LOOK AT HIM!”
42. Do you blame her? We were like her before. That is to show you where we came out from. We were slaves to those useless, beggarly religion that contains no truth.
43. Maria rose from the earth, and went to meet her son Jesu. A multitude of angels carried her as she entered heaven. The holy trinity now crowned Maria to become the queen of angels and ours forever.
44. Fairy tales about tortoise and lion. Stories that are used to rock a child sleep off. Mere lullaby! Amen.
45. We are feeding under the Cloud and we are never tired. Are you hungry? Do you want to go? Go where?
46. 24WHAT IS MORE? TO HELP US TO REMAIN STEADFAST,… Note! To help our Faith to remain steadfast and unshakable, look at what He did.
47. TO HELP US TO REMAIN STEADFAST, UNSHAKABLE AND IMMOVABLE IN HIM UNTO THE END, HE DECIDED TO GLORIFY HIMSELF FOR THE LAST TIME IN THE MIDST OF THE BRIDE SO THAT ANYBODY THAT IS MOVING AWAY WILL BLAME HIMSELF AND NOT GOD. Alleluia!
48. So that anybody that is moving away, God did not say he will stop him. He [God] will allow him to go. He will blame himself and not God. This is because one that sacked himself from a boat, claimed that he did not get any.
49. This is Because both the visible and invisible parts of God have been revealed to us. What? …both the visible and invisible parts of God have been revealed to us.
50. Quote the date of this Message, let us see if it is still current. Is it standing the test of time? More and more! Alive and active. When was it preached? 10th of June 2012. June 10th, 2012. More than 7 years ago.
51. 25As a result, always pray that God will give you the spiritual insight and the understanding to understand, and also the fact that even this preacher who was the light of many of you in this Faith is in prison custody.
52. Vincent Obidinma, pay attention.
53. 25As a result, always pray that God will give you the spiritual insight and the understanding to understand, and also the fact that even this preacher who was the light of many of you in this Faith is in prison custody.
54. When I handled the message in this Church, many almost fainted, more so when I balanced it with the message that William Branham preached, titled, “Souls That Are in Prison Custody”.
55. 27Jude 1 verse 6, “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” KJV.
56. Is it scriptural that God can reserve somebody in prison custody? He knows how to preserve the godly till the day of his redemption. He equally knows how to preserved the ungodly till the day of his destruction.
57. God does not beg you to repent. The Apostles were begging because they saw the terror of God. The terror is here. Yes! They were preaching by inspiration.
8And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: “We believe in God and the Last Day” while in fact they believe not. 9They (think to) deceive God and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not! 10In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and God has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.
THE HOLY QUR’AN, SURAH 2:8 – 10

GOD IS WITH YOU WHILE YOU ARE WITH HIM.
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!
2. I AM NOT A MESSENGER OF ANY AGE. IF I AM A MESSENGER, WHOSE MESSENGER? WHO CAN THIS MAN BE HIS MESSENGER? I AM ONLY THE MASK COVERING THE DEITY.
3. HOW CAN I BE A MESSENGER? DID I INTRODUCE MYSELF AS A MESSENGER BEFORE? A MESSENGER OF WHICH AGE? I AM HE THAT WALKED AND STILL IS, WALKING IN THE MIDST OF THE SEVEN CANDLE STICKS.
4. I AM HERE TO GATHER ALL THE LOOSE ENDS AND DO WHAT? PRESENT CHRIST TO THE BRIDE, AND NOT TO THE WORLD. I CAME FOR A PURPOSE AND THE PURPOSE IS FULFILLED. HAVE I NOT PRESENTED CHRIST TO THE BRIDE?
5. FROM A LITTLE GROUP OUT THERE IN THE WILDERNESS, SETTING OUT, BELIEVING HIS WORD, GOD WILL PRESENT HIMSELF A BRIDE. BRIDE OF THE WORD.
6. Jude 1 verse 6, “And the angels which kept not their first estate,… Angels that were not steadfast…but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” KJV.
7. Do you know that we are in the light? We are children of the light and not of the darkness. Is it not true? CHRIST IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. What? I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. When you are with Christ, you are with the light. Is it not true? Is it not scriptural?
8. Light has come into the world and the world has rejected the light and followed the way of darkness for all their ways are evil. Is it not scriptural? In other words, he that is not walking with Christ is walking in the dark. Even as I am talking this hour, darkness has covered all over the Earth.
9. Yes! The Bible made it clear. If you do not love your brother, you are walking in the dark. You are a murderer.
10. The only people that are walking in the light are the people of God for God is the Light of world.
11. Jude 1 verse 6, “And I remind you of those angels who were once pure and holy But turned to a life of sin…” They turned to the life of unbelief.
12. Note, they started disbelieving what they have believed and preached before which was confirmed by God to be truth. “..Now, God has them chained up in places of darkness, waiting for judgment day.” LB.
13. They started disbelieving what they had already preached and believed. And God said, “I will make him rebel against what he had already preached and was confirmed in his presence by the Almighty God. I will make him mad. Stay clear. Let Me wrestle with him. Can a man strive with his Maker?”
14. He said, “If you feel you can try, please try.” But woe is Me and My family if we should try such a thing. Something I know that if I do, I have published My obituary, sang My funeral song, attended My funeral service and buried Myself with My own hands. How we ought to stand in awe.
15. 35It could be you. It could be me. It could be anybody. The moment you forsake your first estate, you are doomed! Your name is erased from the Book of life for forsaking your first estate.
16. IT IS EASIER FOR THE FIRST WIFE OF A MAN THAT SINGLE-HANDEDLY DECIDED TO ABANDON HER HUSBAND FOR ANOTHER MAN TO COME BACK TO HER FIRST HUSBAND AND BE RESTORED THAN FOR SUCH A FELLOW TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
17. IT IS EASIER FOR THE COURSE OF A RIVER TO BE REVERSED THAN FOR GOD TO ANNUL HIS JUDGMENT. THAT IS WHY YOU PRAY ERNESTLY THAT HE DOES NOT PASS JUDGMENT AGAINST YOU OVER A THING, AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. ONE DAY HE WILL RISE UP IN JUDGMENT AND THEN YOU RECEIVE HIS VERDICT.
18. How I wish that many of you have gone to this message titled “SOULS THAT ARE IN PRISON CUSTODY,” you will see the offences that you will commit and cross the divide. When you cross the divide, God calls it point of no return.
19. That was why Jesus the Christ warned His disciples saying, “When you sin against the Father you will be forgiven, when you sin against the Son, you will be forgiven, but when the Holy Spirit shall come,… THE COMFORTER! AND THAT IS HE THAT IS IN OUR MIDST.
20. …when He, the Spirit of Truth shall come, who will round off the whole thing, whosoever that sins against Him shall never be forgiven in this life nor in the life to come. He is doomed to eternity.
21. Whosoever; your position not withstanding, shall speak blasphemously against the Spirit of Truth shall never be forgiven in this life nor in the life to come.
22. William Branham highlighted this Message in the Message titled “UNPARDONABLE SIN”. Not all sins are pardonable for there are unpardonable sins. William Branham said that “when this that is evidently set out before somebody, he acknowledges it to be truth, testifies about that truth before many witnesses and later turns round to blaspheme that truth, he has committed an unpardonable sin.” He is in the region of the lost. He crosses the divide.
23. BEGIN NOW TO PONDER HOW MANY THAT ARE IN THE REGION OF THE LOST. And yet, they knoweth it not. I love this silence. Drop a pin on the ground, you will hear the noise, as it was in the very beginning.
24. It is unfortunate we have rolled over, we have rolled across the period of altar call. That was where people were remedying such conditions. We have rolled into a period where He said “I will no longer accept I AM SORRY.”
25. But before then, we were warned over and over. Go back to the Message titled, GOD WILL NOT ALWAYS CHIDE. It is not always that you play with the Word of God.
26. Did anybody command you to be quiet? What quietened the Camp? The Word is distilling into the hearts. And I believe your consciences are speaking to you. There is no way the heads can bend down when the conscience has not spoken.
27. I do not know when last I experienced this type of rapt silence without a command from anybody. And it happened just at an instance. There is no condemnation for anybody that is still in Christ, but there is condemnation for someone who walked away. He is with you while you are with Him. At that point where you abandoned Him is where your clock stopped.
28. Brother, do not stop because there is quietness in the Camp. Let the quietness help you to ride on, if you are not numbered among those that are in the region of the lost. Thank you!
29. BEGIN NOW TO PONDER HOW MANY THAT ARE IN THE REGION OF THE LOST. And yet, they knoweth it not. YOU KNOW THAT IT IS A PERSONAL MATTER. What?
30. YOU KNOW THAT IT IS A PERSONAL MATTER. You see why everywhere is calm without any instruction? It is purely personal.
31. This thing can take place in one’s heart while you are at home. It can take place anywhere for it is an individual matter. You may be in the region of the lost and yet be coming to fellowship, wasting your time.
32. Look at, by 1993 God has erased a Pastor’s name from the Book of Life and he officiated as Bishop until May 15th 2003.
33. From 1993, God erased it, allowed him to officiate as Pastor and Bishop, preaching and doing the work of God till May 15th, 2003. God made him mad and caused him to rebel against himself, against his Message and against everything. Even against the vindications. A lesson to learn.
34. So, do not count on the number of years you have been in the Faith, for you might be here from the very beginning without coming in for one second. It is better you do not come in ooo, than for you to come in and then walk out.
35. This is because at any point where you got convinced that it is the truth, that point is the point where you are surrendering. We begin to count your membership from there.
36. But that time you assumed offices and everything, helping in teaching people and things like that, and then one day, we begin to see and begin to hear discordant tones, already you are marked out.
37. I told you that heads will roll in the end. Big names can hardly make it. It is better I be a doormat and be there than to be a big Brother, be a big Sister, big mother, big father, mighty preacher like the one they say is “Emeka Intervention: Odu m eje-eje. Odu m ana-ana.”
38. WELL, IT IS BETTER I REMAIN A DOORMAT AND BE IN THE KINGDOM THAN TO BE EXALTED TO THE SKY AND BE HUMBLED IN HELL.
39. …by 1993 God has erased a Pastor’s name from the Book of Life and he officiated as Bishop until May 15th 2003. Who erased it? See the Man. The Greatest! That is HE. This is the Man you should be afraid of. I am not afraid of the mask. I am afraid of He that is wearing the mask.
40. But you cannot be afraid of the Man in the mask without being afraid of the masquerade. All devotion goes to the masquerade. Every offer, everything goes to the Masquerade.
41. So, the Man in the mask receives the offering through the Masquerade. He receives insults, abuses and blasphemy through the Mask, the same way he receives sacrifices of praises and thanksgiving through Him [the Mask].
42. Through the Mask, he receives both the good things and the bad ones. The Word was made flesh and He dwelt among us.
43. The day God left Saul the king of Israel, was it the day that he died? No! He was still leading the people, parading himself as a king when the Spirit of God has already left him. David had already been ordained. The real king ordained by God was even hired to come and pacify Saul.
44. David being a very good musician, you know, if we are talking of somebody that runs mad with music, it is David. One who could not control himself to the point of getting naked while dancing, yet that is a man after God’s own heart.
45. Even if music makes me mad, have you not heard that I am the root and offspring of David? In other words, I must love music. Nzubechi, stop restraining Me whenever I am dancing. Leave Me alone that I may dance to My satisfaction. Let it never be mentioned from your mouth that music has made your husband mad.
46. I must be a musician; I must dance even naked as the king danced naked. Yet it was not abomination. Thus, the children of God are known for running mad with music. Note, we are not joking neither are we playing.
47. You can commit sin against the Father and you are forgiven. You can commit sin against the Son and you are forgiven.
48. That’s why the Message went forth in a strict voice saying, “I HAVE ASSIGNED MY ANGEL BEFORE YOU, MY NAME IS UPON HIM TO LEAD YOU IN THE PATH THAT YOU WILL GO. BE VERY CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT PROVOKE HIM TO ANGER FOR HE WILL NEVER, NEVER PARDON YOUR TRANSGRESSION. DO NOT GO TO THE LEFT, DO NOT GO TO THE RIGHT, JUST FIX YOUR EYES ON HIM. REMEMBER, YOU HAVE NEVER GONE THIS WAY BEFORE.” Did we hear this Voice?
49. Besides, William Branham said in the message titled, “The Perfect Guide,” that if you are assigned to a guide who knows the way, your duty is to follow him step by step.
50. IF YOU COME TO THE POINT WHERE HE WILL SAY THAT HE IS MOVING TO THE RIGHT AND YOU SAY NO, THAT IT MUST BE TO THE LEFT, THEN YOU ARE LOST.
51. That was the reason why I sent the son of Pastor Paul packing. He thought I was in another world. He never knew I am still in this world. I told him what to do for his own good. Before the Elders, he rubbed his head, stooped low and then came back again, “Sir, I will not do that. This is what I want to do.” I said, “Ok. Thank you very much. You have 48 hours to call Me from Jos. Right from this night, depart from My presence. One-way to Jos. Call Me from that hour to 48 hours.”
52. And My 48 hours has elapsed. He will now hear from Me. I think I gave that order on Saturday. It should be on Friday. Is it Thursday? My mandate has expired. He will now hear from Me.
53. He never knew I was judging him when I was asking him serious questions before the Elders, of how he managed to come to the East. “Who brought you to the East when you were wasting your time in the university reading a course that cannot be described, that is not acceptable anywhere? You wasted your two years and I brought you out of that school. Did you pass JAMB? In spite of two years in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, did you pass JAMB? You failed. I upgraded you and gave you admission at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike. Did you make 2-1 [second class upper division]? Did you even make first class as one that started in a big university?” He thought I was crazy. I fired him.
54. There was one I fired here last two Sundays. That is Okwy, Enugu. He came to Me with a problem that had already been handled by Me, Pastor Thomas and some others. Craftily he came, thinking that I was going to demand cow tail from him. By opening his mouth, I called his Pastor to put him out of our Fellowship, both here and Enugu. From here, he proceeded home, never to appear in our Fellowship grounds.
55. You see, you stand a better chance if you are excommunicated by your Pastor. May be you do not know who I am. Let Me give you one instance.
56. The vice president of Nigeria appointed his own personal assistants and ministers to his own office. The president appointed some. But one morning like that, the president came up and removed all that were in the VP’s office.
57. And while travelling out, he neglected what the constitution, the national assembly and so on said. He refused to give his office to the vice president and preferred operating from London. Every document will be parceled to London by the Secretary. So, he is running Nigeria from abroad.
58. Then, of what use is the VP’s office? Has he not rendered that office redundant, removed the whole staff there and allowed him to sit on the table. What a humiliation?
59. A professor of law and a senior advocate humiliated by somebody whose does not even have a primary six certificate, simply because he decided to serve under that condition. He is a beggar. Did you get the Message? No wahala!
60. I would not be surprised that one day, you will hear another story from that office. If somebody is occupying an office you cannot remove by election, what do you do? That your demonstration cannot remove him, what do you do? He can remove all and still stay where he is. What do you do?
WE WERE IN BONDAGE IN ALL THE DENOMINATIONS. WE WERE IN BONDAGE IN THE PENTECOSTAL. WE WERE IN BONDAGE IN THE ANGLICAN CHURCH. WE WERE IN BONDAGE IN ROMAN CATHOLIC, IN DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND NOW WE HAVE A LEADER. BE VERY CAREFUL THE WAY YOU FOLLOW HIM. FOR HE WILL NEVER FORGIVE OUR TRANSGRESSION. BE VERY CAREFUL FOR HE IS A VERY SPIRITUAL MAN AND ONE THAT WILL FOLLOW HIM MUST FOLLOW HIM SPIRITUALLY. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE? YOU KNOW OUR LEADER? THAT WAS THE MAN, THE MAN THAT PROPHET WILLIAM BRANHAM WAS LOOKING AT AND THE SAME MAN MOSES WAS LOOKING AT. HE NEVER FAILED THEM AND HE CAN NEVER FAIL US. BUT WE ARE MIXED.

GOD’S INSTRUMENT FOR LEADERSHIP REMAINS DIVINE
| T |
HE SON OF MAN CAN CLOSE HIS EYES AND REMOVE ALL MINISTERS FROM THEIR POSITIONS, STARTING FROM THE HIGHEST APOSTLE TO THE LEAST TEACHER, BUT NOT EVEN ONE CAN REMOVE HIM FROM HIS OFFICE, FOR NOBODY PLACED HIM THERE.
2. WHATEVER YOU ARE HOLDING IS WHERE HE DECIDED TO PLACE YOU. YOU CANNOT EFFECT A CHANGE IN HIS POSITION, BUT HE CAN EFFECT CHANGES IN YOUR OWN POSITIONS. HE CAN EVEN BENCH YOU. HE CAN FIRE YOU.
3. CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT HE [THE SON OF MAN] IS THE MOST COMPASSIONATE? ALLOWING YOU TO BE THERE ALONE SHOULD HAVE HELPED YOU IF YOU KNOW THE PERSONALITY YOU ARE ANSWERING HIS CO-LABOURER.
4. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CO-LABOURER OF THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH? A CREATURE LABOURING IN THE VINE YARD WITH THE CREATOR.
5. IF YOU COME TO THE POINT WHERE HE WILL SAY THAT HE IS MOVING TO THE RIGHT AND YOU SAY NO, THAT IT MUST BE TO THE LEFT, THEN YOU ARE LOST, FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW THE WAY.
6. How can you find fault with the road that you have not plied before? How can you accuse your Guide that He does not know the way when you have not plied that way before? And He [The Guide] is not asking questions as He is driving. He is moving confidently.
7. You see where the problem lies! Finding fault with the Guide when you have never gone that way before. However, He that called you said that you should look at Him for my Name is upon Him.
8. I AM THE ONE THAT WILL LEAD YOU IN THE WAY THAT YOU SHOULD GO, AND TO PROVE IT, HE CAME DOWN AND VINDICATED THE LEADERSHIP Showing the instrument to be purely divine. Incontestable leadership. Before then, we had too many “I can lead”, “I can drive.”
9. HE CAME DOWN AND VINDICATED THE LEADERSHIP USING THE PILLAR OF CLOUD. FOR EVERYTHING CAN MISLEAD THE PEOPLE OF GOD BUT NOT THE CLOUD.
10. That’s why we are rejoicing exceedingly that we are the group that is following Divine leadership. The Holy Ghost that was given to us is still with us. How many have spoken blasphemously against Him? How many even among the people in this Faith?
11. If God said that you should be very careful that you do not put Him into anger for He will never pardon your transgression, do you want to tell Me that you know Him more than God?
12. He went further to tell us that “I wish to drop it into your ears that He is a very sensitive spirit. SO DO NOT EVEN COME TO HIM AND MAKE RASH STATEMENTS… What?
13. If you know you have a copy of this Message, lift it up. I ordered My own. I noticed in My library that I am using Pastor Rotimi’s copy. So, I ordered for My own copies. This morning, I got them.
14. Go to your libraries, you will get your copies. If you do not have it in your libraries, order for your copies. That is, if you would like to have this Message. It is not compulsory, but in My family, it is compulsory.
15. ANYTHING GOD IS DOING IS COMPULSORY IN MY FAMILY, BUT IT CAN BE OPTIONAL IN YOUR OWN, FOR WE HAVE SELCETIVE BELIEVER. BUT IN MY FAMILY, THERE IS NO SELECTIVE BELIEVER. THE SAME WAY WE EAT EVERYTHING FROM THE KITCHEN, SO WE TAKE EVERY WORD OF GOD.
16. …So do not even come to Him and make rash statements only to say that you do not mean them. DO NOT EVER ATTEMPT IT.
17. “I do not mean it.” “I did not mean to say so.” “It was a slip of tongue.” “It was a mistake.” He said he does not have any room for such joke. HE SAYS WHAT HE MEANS. HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS. So, before you talk to Him, think twice. Think twice!
18. To the youth, do not behave like Paulson. God used him to show you an example. Was he not the one that joined hands in vetting the Revised Edition of the Great Sermon? He was the leading youth. Has he not been leading in praises here?
19. What was the problem? He said he would not like to leave the South East and that he prefers staying with us here when I had already ordered him to go back to Jos. He said No! Your reason? “I do not want to go back to Jos. I will like to be here.”
20. This was even after hearing from Me. He scratched his head, only to receive, “Depart from My presence. You have only but 48 hours to call Me from Jos.” And now, the 48 hours have elapsed.
21. Whether he died on the way or reached safely is not My business, but he will hear from Me through his father.
22. You see, I love God for one thing. God changes His mind, but not very readily. When I told you a story somewhere, that I came closest to wiping off a family in anger. But I remembered I had received instruction that I should not harm or touch any animal that has small children.
23. With that, I stood still for over two hours, and then made a U-turn. And immediately I made a U-turn, My phone rang. Lo and behold, it became the person. A little reaction has already cost one life. Just mere thought. Then I changed My mind.
24. Do you know that it is better that someone got sick and died than to say that the deity he brought into his family killed him? Do you know the person that will be the first victim of that deity? The deity will start from the real heart of the family.
25. All the promising and useful members of the family will be uprooted by the deity and then leave off the useless ones. In the end, the deity will then grievously afflict and wipe off those useless members of the family where it was brought in.
26. Brethren, is there truth there? If you say it is a lie, go and consult the elders. THERE IS NO DEITY THAT IS NOT DESTRUCTIVE. EVERY DEITY IS DESTRUCTIVE. Anything that is called god and which is worshipped is destructive. It is better that somebody died of a natural cause than to say that a deity is involved in his death.
27. This is because if a deity has come into a family, it is difficult to move the deity out of that family.
28. THAT IS WHY WHEN GOD STEPS IN TO SLAUGHTER, NOBODY CAN CONTROL IT. HE SAID, “UNTIL I MAKE AN END TO IT.” AND THE REMENANT WILL SAY, “OF A TRUTH, THIS IS THE FINGER OF THE LORD.”
29. This is because God does not come in to take one person. One person is not enough. One person is not enough. He will take a count of all that are found in disobedience. All!
30. Do you think that God did not see Achan? Do you think God does not know how to take him and his wife alone? He collected every member of that lineage and wiped them off.
31. All that could benefit if Achan remained alive must die. Anybody that would benefit from Achan must die. Anyone that would benefit from the wife must die. Anybody that could benefit from the children of Achan must die. His children will die.
32. Is it not the same in the case of Ahab? In his own case, if you salute him by even saying “Good morning”, you will be among those that will die. You salute him while he was working, you will die. You give him a hand shake, you will die. You do business with his children, you will die.
33. Have you wondered why when a community ostracizes a man, they will warn everybody to steer clear? He will not fetch firewood or fire or go to stream with anybody. Nobody buys any item from him, he does not buy from anybody.
34. I do not think we have read this Message from this pulpit before. Have we? Call it the Message of the hour, hidden. Anytime it is coming out is the appointed time, and it is an addendum. If you check what has been happening here, for over a month now, watch the sequence, it has been RE-INTRODUCTION OF WHO GOD IS THAT WE MAY WORSHIP HIM RIGHTLY.
35. I am not saying this because I am involved. I am highlighting it. Though you once knew it, I am only putting you in remembrance.
36. The Apostles saw it and confirmed that it is truth. The prophets foretold it. Jesus the Christ hammered and hammered on it for He knew that God does not judge any man but has committed the judgment into the hand of His dear Son, for He is THE SON OF MAN.
37. What is more? ALL REFERENCES OF THE END-TIME WERE THE REFERENCES OF THE DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN, NOT THE DAYS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. Sure!
38. For he said, “Do not ever pray that I will not go away, for if I do not go away the Comforter will not come. But when I go away, I will pray to the Father and He will give you another Comforter whom He shall send in my stead, and His Name is the Word of God.” Amen! The Word made flesh even in our day.
39. You must know the truth and the truth will set you free. Under the sun, you are the only people that are worshipping under the Clouds; worshipping God where He has not only chosen to place His Name but where His glory has appeared. What?
40. Under the sun, you are the only people that are worshipping under the Clouds; worshipping God where He has not only chosen to place His Name but where His glory has appeared.Amen!
41. NOT ONLY CHOSEN TO PLACE HIS NAME, BUT HIS GLORY APPEARED. BRETHREN TRUE OR FALSE? DOUBLE CONFIRMATIONS. HIS PRESENCE IS HIS GLORY.
42. The only group under the sun. Go worldwide. When I looked into the printout from the website today, infact, I did not know what to say than to say, “THANK YOU LORD.” Thank you LORD that I am one of them.
43. Others preach the glory of God but we enjoy the glory of God, live. Live! We thank God for this wonderful message that was preached far back in 1994 which is still standing the test of time. Preached far back in 1994 and it is still standing till now.
44. For the Word of God is always alive and active so that you will be careful, lest you cause your name to be blotted out from the Book of Life.
45. Have I not been telling you before that I do not believe in the message that once saved is always saved? I have also told you what I believe in eternal security. It is not once saved is always saved. No! If it is so, Lucifer is always saved for he was one of the glorious angels that knew not sin from the beginning. He was holy and perfect until iniquity was found in him. Iniquity can be found in you at any point in time.
46. What is iniquity? Doing something you ought not to do for you know the awful implication, claiming that you have been saved. You are deceiving yourself. You are doing what? Deceiving yourself.
47. If you say that you do not know something, do you eat through your nose? Do I know?
48. There is something that I want you to know. No matter how mad you think a man is, he might be naked in the market, he might be very destructive, but each time he purchases any item, he must pay and he must demand for his balance (change). What makes him mad then?
49. If he does not know any other thing, he identifies all the currencies. He knows the whole currencies. He knows ₦10. He knows ₦5. He knows ₦1000. Have you ever seen a mad man that tore money?
50. If you give him fifty Naira, he knows. You give him twenty Naira, he knows. You give him hundred Naira, he knows. Then what made him to be called a mad man? Madness does not affect the value placed on money.
51. A mad man can destroy any paper on the street but he can never destroy money. Once you give him money, he will keep it very well. Have you not been observing it? You can take away everything from a mad woman, but can you take away her child from her? Since she is mad, why is it that she will not kill her child?
52. Stop telling Me that there are people that are not sensible. Everybody is sensible. SURE! EVERYBODY IS SENSIBLE. IF GOD CANNOT JUSTIFY A MAD MAN HOW CAN HE JUSTIFY A SENSIBLE MAN? SO, BEFORE GOD NOBODY IS MAD.
53. You know, whenever the person is looking for something of his own selfish gain, then you will know that he is sensible.
54. Brethren, is it truth? Self-centeredness. A selfish individual. When it gets to his turn, he becomes a very sensible person. To another person, he becomes an insatiable glutton.
55. Brethren, you were in My house when I attacked that spirit. That was because your Bishop was trying to highlight something. At the end of the day, he was shocked that I did not buy all his ideas.
56. But I fired him the question, “So you did not go ahead to mourn your late mother and to do the burial ceremony simply because those who were holding money did not bring it out. How much did you bring out? How much did your children send to you for it? If they said that whenever you are ready, you tell them, have you told them?”
57. You are ready because you want to use another man’s money. If they will send that one to you at last, will you bring it out? If everybody will behave like you, will the woman be buried till eternity? Who do you want his money to be spent?
58. With all these questions, he clamped his mouth closed. I then told him that all his complaints were all rubbish. Absolutely rubbish. Everything must be placed on the table. If number 1 places his own, number 2 will follow suit.
59. Assuming that number two places his own first, you will then come and carry the whole thing. So, it should wait. Nobody is ready until you are ready, for you are number 1. Period! Then, the matter died a natural death.
60. You see why some do not come near me to present such matters. This is because you are going to defend whatever you are saying. I will ask you questions. The Bishop! Your body is frozen.
61. Sponsorship of feast is better from another man’s pocket. When a man is drained financially by his associates, they will still be the ones to brand him a fool.
62. EVERYBODY IS SENSIBLE. You know, whenever the person is looking for something of his own selfish gain, then you will know that he is sensible. God can never live with such a group. Amen.

A SEED OF GOD IS A SEED OF GOD
WHY WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL; Preached on 10th June 2012; Pg. 78. THE WORLD IS WITHOUT EXCUSE: There are too many responses from our websites. You do not know the number of people that believe the message which we believe in this most holy Faith.
2. I am of the opinion that every elect of God worldwide must come into contact with this glorious Message, for when we shall return to Paradise, you will see them coming from the East, West, North and South;… Alleluia! The same Voice is still on.
3. …in different tongues and languages, with different colours of the skin, singing Hosanna and Halleluiah unto THE SON OF MAN, for THE SON OF MAN is the only Name that has gone round the globe,.. Yes sir!…that has been made acceptable among the Elect.
4. “…. He will be in the Church in the end-time. Who were the members of that Church? Our fathers. They were members of that Church. The Angel was in that Church, their fathers was there. If there must be a Church today, the Archangel must be there…”Do we have Him?
5. Page 85. Do you know that you are the only group, the Bridal Faith, that can boast of having the Archangel? Look at the Archangel in your midst. What? Look at Him that was in the Church in the wilderness. Alleluia! Nothing can be truer than the truth.
6. Do you know that you are the only group, the Bridal Faith, that can boast of having the Archangel? Look at the Archangel in your midst. Look at Him that was in the Church in the wilderness. That if it is not that Church, do not ever go there. Amen! It is either that one or never!
7. Look away from Brother Peter Odoemena, look unto He that called you to this salvation ministry. Amen! You can see the minister rebuking his wife from the pulpit by demonstrating even in evil. Sure!
8. Do not condemn her because many a time many of you that are married to the real servants of God, often times demonstrate in the fellowship Sure! Even at home, you demonstrate. True or false?
9. Sometimes you find it difficult to say Remain blessed because you feel that he carried you to the pulpit. Instead of saying praise God for coming my way, you will be demonstrating against God’s rebuke, God’s correction because God used your husband. Is your husband not a man of God? Do I know?
10. You know, Sisters who are privileged to marry ministers fail to acknowledge it from their hearts that their husbands are men of God, chosen of God. True or false?
11. They can jump up when other ministers are on the pulpit, even if their names are mentioned they will say, “Thank God that God moved in a very wonderful way!”
12. However, let your husband come and say anything, you see them murmuring, saying, “I know that he hates me!….” No food that day! Why must you say it.
13. I used to tell my family at all times, “If you want to survive in this Faith, see it by personal revelation that the thought of God concerning you is that of good, no matter how it may come, for I do not want to know the way it came.”
14. Whether it came through your husband, or your child, through a minister, for one day one of your sons will be ordained a minister… Alleluia!
15. One day, one of your sons will be ordained a minister. And when he will descend on you from his office, I wonder whether you will not disown him. Brethren, has it come to pass?
16. …and he will minister harshly on you, to your shame and condemnation. If you are not careful, after preaching, once you get home you lie him on the floor and ask him whether he has been born when you entered this Faith? I am telling you the truth.
17. Do not laugh. When a man or a woman will do it, he or she will not know where he or she is standing.
18. IF THERE IS ANY TIME I WILL SAY THAT MY MOTHER HAD FULLY IDENTIFIED WITH THIS MINISTRY, IT IS NOW BY REVELATION. There? Okay!
19. Support: WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION: Page 61 vs 29 – 30. FOR EVERY MISBEHAVIOUR, EVERY MISCONDUCT, JUST LIKE MY MOTHER IS IN THE FELLOWSHIP TODAY, I WANT YOU TO PAY ATTENTION.
20. YOU ARE IN THE FELLOWSHIP TODAY BECAUSE YOUR CUP IS FULL; IF YOU HAD MISSED THIS LAST CALL, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END OF YOUR LIFE HERE ON EARTH BECAUSE I WILL PREFER TO GO WITHOUT A MOTHER HERE ON EARTH THAN TO HAVE ONE THAT WILL CAUSE ME REPROACH.
21. I WOULD HAVE CLOSED MY EYES AND SHOWN YOU MY DANGEROUS SIDE BANISH YOU FROM THE EARTH! I WILL BEAR YOUR LOSS.
22. Brethren, God is great. So, My mother is in the pulpit. Today, My mother came to Church. This is the truth now! Today, she is here.
23. WHY WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL; Preached on 10th June 2012; Pg. 88 vs. 26IF THERE IS ANY TIME I WILL SAY THAT MY MOTHER HAD FULLY IDENTIFIED WITH THIS MINISTRY, IT IS NOW BY REVELATION. Yes! SHE WAS FOLLOWING NOMINALLY BEFORE, BUT BY REVELATION SHE HAS NOW UNDERSTOOD.
24. When she was talking to me, she said that I should salute Brother James Nnadi specially for her, that Brother James came with healing in his hand and did as God commanded him. That since that day, that she has seen many changes.
25. What is more? She also commanded Brother James to remove the supernatural photograph which is the congregational one and the one with the Headstone, from the place where she placed them, and then place them closer to her pillow.
26. She told Me that she placed the whole thing near the pillow so that anytime she is in the bed, whether awake or asleep, that the thing will keep watch over her.
Moreover, since that day that she kept them there, that all the nonsense dreams that she used to have are gone. That she now sleeps quietly and wakes up livelier than before. I said to her, “Mama, do you know that this same photograph is the same man that is standing before you?” She said, “Yes! I know. I know!” But before now, it was like a shadow in the night, it was like a dream, but today she now speaks like my late father.
In 1998, my father stood in this Church and said, “You see this man, I am his father but in the flesh. Whichever way you see Him is also how I look at Him. Whatever you take Him to be is also what I took Him to be and it is what is He is.”
27. That remained his testimony until the day he was buried. That was why when the whole Brethren at Mbaise denied the Faith, my dad became the only pillar. He became the Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, everything for three years before Brother Chinedu now came back. Then Brother Chinedu was the Pastor and my dad was the congregation.
28. When we went to Isiala-Ngwa for a missionary trip, Okey Nwankpa was there, Brother Dan Chukwuemeka was there with our station wagon car. We parked at the market and decided to pay them a suprise visit.
29. We walked secretly to their fellowship venue, we saw Brother Chinedu in the pulpit, a man that cannot read or write, preaching and my father was the congregation echoing “Amen, Amen, That is truth, that is truth!”
30. We stood and yet they did not see us for over fifteen minutes. Then we entered, they were astonished.
31. Watch, God is not interested in a house filled with unbelievers… What? Watch, God is not interested in a house filled with unbelievers but takes delight where two or three gathered spiritually in fear, faithfully to worship Him.
32. When we are talking about this Church, this Church, many of you that were not there in the wilderness may not understand what we are saying, but as many as followed us right from Abagana, I told you that God made Brother Mike Nwanga blind so that he will be saved, otherwise he would have laboured in vain because of money.
33. Pure truth! Even on the dying bed. We were there. His wife told us to touch his pocket. Immediately we reached our hand there, he hit it and reacted, “Remove your hand! Do not go there! Do not go there!”
34. One that was not talking now spoke because we reached out our hand to his pocket. So, an Igbo man is not dead until he has lost consciousness of where his money is. Please, I want to finish it. There may be something hiding here.
35. The highest thing he can do now is to demonstrate inside and talk with the mouth but he cannot fight again.
Brother Mike Nwanga was there when the message was preached, he laboured with us using his motorcycle to carry his family day and night under the rain, under the sun and I thank God that he is still in this Faith. He is here today. All of them that passed on, as many as were commended are here today. I love this Message.
36. Sister Mary was answering Njom, but Ezichi today. She was indicted by the preacher because of her lateness and was being warned that she should be careful that God will not remove her name from the Book of Life.
37. HAVE YOU HEARD IT? BE VERY CAREFUL THAT GOD WILL NOT REMOVE YOUR NAME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE.
38. However, while she is still in this most holy Faith, the person who handled the Message, his name was removed.
39. The person that warned her. The Minister who warned her to be careful that her name is not removed from the Book of Life. Sister Mary is still sitting down and the person lost his name from the Book of Life. How we ought to tremble with fear.
40. Have you seen it? that not he that willeth, not he that runneth but God that showeth mercy. Many of us that are in this most holy Faith today, many thought that we will not last till today but what happened? If we were told that Brother Osegbo will be in this Faith till today, nobody will believe it.
41. Brother Osegbo! Are you keeping quiet? you should be jumping up with your two hands raised to the heavens that you are still hear wearing your ID card.
42. You see, God takes record of everything and everybody. We may not know that Osegbo is one of us, but look at where the name appeared.
43. A seed of God is a seed of God. Take him to the moon, he is a child of God. Take him to the grave, he is a child of God. Take him to wherever you like, he is still a seed of God.
44. Maybe you do not know that he has forfeited his whole family because of this most holy Faith. His wife and about five sons, he forfeited all because of this Faith.
45. Thus, if you make a headway God will lift you up, his own is worse than your own, for when you talk of Deeper Life Church, God said that it is worse than Roman Catholic.
46. His wife will be running about the Churches because ONE CHURCH IS NEVER ENOUGH FOR A PAGAN,… Is it a lie?…BUT TO US, CHRIST IS SUFFICIENT FOR US, FOR OUR SUFFICIENCY IS IN CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE. Is Christ not our sufficiency? That is why we call Him Agba kwuru Ezurike (our sufficiency).
47. Page 100. BUILDING PLAN: GOD’S PLAN TO ESTABLISH HIS CHURCH,” Volume 1; Pg. 52, vs. 36:“Who was that person that was in that Church? Christ, the Head of the Church. He was in the Church in the wilderness and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. HE WILL BE IN THE CHURCH IN THE END-TIME…”
48. [To Brother Chibuzor Agbom] Thank you for a perfect reading.
You see why I am warning you: you know what you are thinking about God in your heart but what God is thinking about you, you know it not. You know all you are planning to do but what God is planning about you, you know not. That is why God is saying, “Can your heart bear it, can your strength sustain you, can your heart endure the day I will visit you according to your iniquity? Can your hand hold you, can your strength sustain you, can your heart be strong, can you endure the day the Lord will remember you on what you know you are not meant to do and you go ahead doing it?

WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION
Stay where you are as I invite our Brother Timothy because of time to jump this Message. I say, jump. Come! I want you to read chapter 3 only, starting from the nugget. I am jumping chapters 1 and 2 together with the accompanying nuggets because of time. Or do you want Me to read all. When you get home, read it.
2. WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION. After knowing this truth, if we begin to disbelieve or misbehave, will there be any excuse? No admissible excuse.
3. WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION; Preached on 5th April 1998 at the Household of God, Onitsha, by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN.
4. Page 59. WILFUL DISOBEDIENCE IS UNPARDONABLE SIN..
5. Page 65. Check from the day you entered this Ministry. The various ways you have troubled this Body, something inspired you to behave the way you behaved—whether in your home, on the street, in the gathering of the Saints.
6. Check the way you have behaved all these years. Check what stirred you up because one day you must be called to question. If you are not called to question, God has set His Word aside; He has made His Word of non-effect, but far be it from God to tell lies.
7. Can God tell lies? The Bible said that God is known by two immutable things: (i) It is impossible for God to lie. God can never tell lies. All these years, we have been playing religion thinking that we have been fooling God. We never knew that we have been fooling ourselves. Let me show you something. WHY ARE YOU FOOLING YOURSELVES?
8. Page 66 Acts 19:35 – 41: “And when the town clerk had appeased the people, he said, ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesus is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
9. For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of Churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. Wherefore if Demetrius and the craftsmen which are with him have a matter against any man the law is open and there are deputies let them implead one another.
10. But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. For we are in danger to be called to question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse. And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.”
11. Unbelief without any reason. Rioting without a reason. Murmuring, complaining and grumbling without a reason, for no reasonable cause. Even if there is, you never followed the approved laid down pattern of dispute resolution.
12. Brethren, I have never seen this type of rapt silence for a long time here. It is on record.
13. Page 68.…If we remember that we are in danger of being called to question for our willful disobedience, for our willful neglect, willful misconduct towards the Word of God, towards the Doctrines of the Church, definitely, we would have refrained from it long time ago.
14. Page 70. GOD HAS NO COUNSELOR. Who has been His counselor?
15. Page 75…I am now telling you that you have to be very careful to take heed to the Words which you have received in this Church What was the topic of the morning Message? WHY WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL.
16. I am now telling you that you have to be very careful to take heed to the Words which you have received in this Church, in this Faith, either by Epistle or by tape or from the very Word of God.
17. EVERY MINISTER IN THIS FAITH…Every Minister in this Faith, including Ojiakor. EVERY MINISTER IN THIS FAITH IS IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION BECAUSE OF HIS MINISTRY….
18. Watch Saul. Instead of Saul to repent, he added iniquity upon iniquity. To show that he knew what he was doing, he stretched his hands and grabbed the hands of the man of God because, right inside him, he was demonstrating against the man of God. He was demonstrating against God for as long as Samuel lived, He still remained God among the people of Israel. Pure Truth!
19. Page 80. Sister Nonye Paul you are in danger of being called to question. Grown up Sisters can spoil a married woman; grown up Sisters have spoiled married women.
20. …If you are a mother in this Faith, please take note. Your misbehaviour can scare God away from your family. If you like believe it, if you like don’t believe it.
21. Grown up sisters spoiling married ones, assuming responsibilities meant for married mothers. Then mothers will confine themselves in their beds. Mummy come out, food is ready. You think you are earning a reward from your children.
22. That you have grown up daughters in your house might turn out to be a curse, unless you are not praying that they should go out one day. What if they go out? Will you stop them? Or will you go out with them, for they may cripple you?
23. That is why, no matter the situation, be up and doing. Stay in your duty position. Do not ever assign it to anybody. The children have their responsibilities. Mothers have their responsibilities, domestically and otherwise.
24. THERE IS A LIMIT THAT YOU WILL ASSIGN TO THE GROWN-UPS IN THE HOME. THE REST WILL BE FOR THE MOTHER OF THAT FAMILY. TRUE OR FALSE?
25. But when you surrender all, what will you be doing? You will take delight in sleeping. It will make you lazy and dirty. I say, lazy and dirty. A very lazy woman is a dirty woman.
26. Then when it comes to old age, can anybody enter your house? Your house will be a dustbin, because by that time, the young men are not there and the ladies have gotten married and left with their husbands.
27. May be you will be going to bed without food, simply because laziness will not allow you to cook for yourself and your husband. In everything remember old age. You cannot recall your children from where they are pursuing their noble objectives just to come and take care of your old age.
28. A lazy person grows older than her age. Nobody ages faster than a lazy fellow. You will be adding unnecessary weight that will make you to be very clumsy. You will be awake and at the same time dreaming.
29. So, do not allow God’s blessings to turn out to be a curse. So, no matter the situation, remain in your duty position, unless you have made up your mind that you would not let them out.
30. If they are your maidservants or your houseboys, remember, a sojourner will one day go home. The day he or she will go, will you restrain him or her?
31. If your servant’s parents demands his or her return to them, will you say that you will not return him or her? Suppose you have made him your all and all. That day, you will become crippled.
32. I invite the Pastor to come and read the correspondences while I bid all of you farewell.
Destiny is a matter of choice and not a matter of chance. Thus, do not tell Me your destiny is evil. It is because you do not know the consequences of evil. And you have decided to embark on it. You have habitually been acquainted with it and you have vowed within yourself never to break it. NO HABIT IS UNBREAKABLE. It is true that it is easier to acquire a habit than to break it. That is when one delights himself, derives pleasure in evil habits. This is because evil is pleasure to anyone that is destitute of the Truth. One who is bereft of the Truth delights in evil. He prides himself with something he should be ashamed of.

CORRESPONDENCES
First letter
From: The Household of God, Onitsha
To: Cyprain Onah, The Head, Onah Family, Uru-Umuoji,
Eha-Ndiagu, Nsukka LGA, Enugu State.
Date: 9th November, 2019.
Subject: LETTER OF NOTIFICATION.
After several years of fruitless efforts, both physically and spiritually to make sure that your son and brother, Shadrach Onah, who claims to be our member lives a responsible life, we are left with no option than to formally bring to your notice that he has blatantly refused godly counsel.
He has defied our teachings and doctrines as he constantly walks contrary to them. He engages Himself in excessive drinking of alcohol, and no drunk ever runs a peaceful, responsible and progressive family. This has made him not to recognize and accept his responsibility as a married man with children.
He is acting that way because he neglected our teachings and doctrines on the responsible approach to eating food and drinking wine, even as backed up by the Holy Scriptures thus:
“Wine gives false courage. Hard liquor leads to brawls. What fools men are to let it master them, making them real drunkenly down the street.” (Proverbs 20:1, LB)
“Drinking too much makes you loud and foolish. It is stupid to get drunk.” (Proverbs 20:1, GNB)
“Do not associate with people who drink too much wine or stuff themselves with food. Drunkards and gluttons will be reduced to poverty. If all you do is eat and sleep, you will soon be wearing rags.” (Proverbs 23:20 – 21, GNB)
“Do not get drunk with wine, which will only ruin you. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:15, LB)
In addition, your son flouts our doctrine which prohibits us from keeping late at night because chances of survival are slim at night, if there is any eventuality.
Again, one’s enemy can easily and effectively waylay him at night. He has formed the dangerous habit of coming home late at night on a regular basis.
We have done everything within our capacity, according to our doctrine to stop him from these habits, but to no avail.
Even his family has spoken to him to stop manifesting all these habits, but he refused to obey.
We are bringing this to your notice for you to help us and talk to him, and also to let you know our stand. But if anything happens to him, either by sickness or death, as a result of his excessive drinking, keeping late at night and reckless living, The Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide will not be held responsible, and can never be a party to his burial.
His wife, children and son in-law [Brother Kelechi Eze] can attest to this report. A stitch in time saves nine.
Thanks.

Second letter
From: The Household of God, Onitsha
To: Mr. Paul Nnachor, Umuikwu Anam, Anambra West
LGA, Anambra State
Date: 9th November, 2019.
Subject: LETTER OF NOTIFICATION.
Dear Sir,
I, Pastor Mark Chizoba Udochukwu, writes this letter on behalf of the Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide to notify you about the not-too-good relationship that exists between the Church and your son, Brother Emmanuel Nnachor.
I call him Brother because he still comes to Church any day he has the chance. Colossians 2:2 (GNB) “I do this in other that they may be filled with courage and may be drawn together in love. And so, have the full wealth of assurance which true understanding brings. In this way, they will know God’s secrets, which is Christ Himself.”
Christ demands that all the members of the Church be united in heart and purpose. Every member should let the Pastor or Pastors or any of the Elders know his whereabouts at any point in time so that he or she can be accounted for.
When any of our members notifies us that he or she is travelling, we keep on praying for his or her safety until he or she successfully comes back. It is our doctrine because any animal that takes delight in solitary movements does not survive the attack of a predator.
However, it is not so with your son, Emmanuel Nnachor, though he is well-informed about the doctrines of Christ. He can hardly inform us about his whereabouts. He chooses not to disclose where he is going to. If I ask him why, he tells me that enemies are too many these days and that it is not advisable to disclose where you are at any point in time.
At times, he calls from where he is, only to inform me that he will not make it to Fellowship the following day, being Sunday, that he travelled. If asked where he is, the reply is that he is somewhere.
This disdainful and disrespectful act to the Body of Christ has lasted longer than necessary, because he is patiently accommodated, hoping that he will talk to himself along the line.
When somebody tries to call him to order, his reply is that he is always misunderstood by everybody. What it means is that Brother Emmanuel Nnachor is the only person that understands everybody, and nobody understands him. Does it mean he is the wisest of all in our midst?
Since he does not trust us, even his Pastor or Pastors or any of the Ministers and Elders, of what use is his stay with us? Is he not caging himself and endangering his life staying with his presumed enemies? He has been asked to come forward and name those suspected enemies of his among us, but he has not been able to substantiate his claims.
By this letter, he is advised to either change his cold-hearted and anti-doctrinal attitude towards the Body of Christ so as to enjoy sweet Fellowship with the Saints of God or voluntarily withdraw from among us, his supposed enemies and join those that are his friends and are of equal understanding with him.
Whereby he chooses neither of the above suggestions, you should know that for any eventuality on his side by day or by night, The Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide is neither answerable nor responsible in any way since he does not carry us along.
Thanks.

You can dismiss us because this quietness is extraordinary. Dismiss us. I have not seen this type of quietness before. Even under the law, did you witness this type of quietness?
