TRANSCRIBED BY SISTER PEACE UKPONG

What gives you sleepless nights? What do you spend your time on? What is keeping you busy all day long? Is it how to make money or spiritual matters?

No contribution or labor of love in Christ will ever go unrewarded. This faith is not a man’s property. The Son of Man is not making any gain in it for you to say it is his property alone, rather He is rendering a selfless sacrifice that the name of God will be glorified. So also must we all do. The glory will come to all of us.

HOW HAVE WE RECIPROCATED THIS GREAT LOVE OF GOD

We thank God who has seen us through this hour and brought us to this period when we want to look into the word of God to encourage ourselves, this very evening. He is the great God that has granted us this privilege.

  • When you look at the message, “The Inner Voice”, you see where God was asking; how many have loved God and remained in love with God? But God has loved us and has remained in love with us.
  • We should sit down to ask ourselves this question; for it is not we that first loved God, but God first loved us. He has never failed loving us.
  • A God who loved us, opened our spiritual eyes, helped us by giving us a believing heart, Helped us by aiding us to obey Him and helping us to do those things which He wants.
  • How have we reciprocated this great love of God? I want to take us to a scripture where we will see this great man of God, who was thinking so much about God and the good things God has done for him.
  • Many at times we sit down, we think just about ourselves but we do not even sit down to think about this great God who loved us and has done these great things for us.
  • But this great man of God we want to see in this scripture, was always thinking about God. What he will do for that God, because the Lord has done so much great things for him.
  • How have we really sat down to think about the great things God has done for us?
  • Let us look at 1 Chronicles 29 verse 1-3, from the Living Bible version of the Bible. LB; [1]Then King David turned to the entire assembly and said: “My son Solomon, whom God has chosen to be the next king of Israel, is still young and inexperienced, and the work ahead of him is enormous;
  • For the temple he will build is not just another building—it is for the Lord God himself!
  • [2]Using every resource at my command, I have gathered as much as I could for building it—enough gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and great quantities of onyx, other precious stones, costly jewels, and marble.
  • [3]And now, because of my devotion to the Temple of God, I am giving all of my own private treasures to aid in the construction. This is in addition to the building materials I have already collected. Amen!
  • This is the great man of God of whom we want to look into his life and challenge ourselves. King David was sitting down looking at himself, and then he said, look at me living in a palace, what have I done for this God.
  •  Look at what He has done for me. Someone who was not known, a shepherd boy, today he is living in a great palace.
  • He said no. I have to build a house for this God. But God said no, your hands are bloody. It is your son that will build it. He did not get annoyed.
  • He did not feel offended. Look at what he said. He said o! My son, you know he is inexperienced. I will guide him. I will help him. I have already collected things.
  • Because he has already in his heart, been thinking of building that house for God. So he has already collected other things, and now because of his devotion, look at what he said.
  • King David was very concerned about the physical temple which was for the Lord God Himself. He gathered enough materials for building it.
  • Now, because of his devotion to the temple of God, he gave all of his own private treasures to aid in the construction. This was in addition to the building materials he had already collected for the building work. Because he was already thinking of it.
  • You think if he was not thinking of it, he would have gathered those things? He gathered it because that was what was in his mind.
  • But today many of us sit down and we are not even thinking of what to do to this great God who so loved us, opened our spiritual eyes, revealed Himself to us in this age.
  • How devoted are we to this God?
  • King David was so devoted to the temple of God made by human hands, but we now know that God does not dwell in temple made by human hands. But He dwells in a temple made by His hands, which is the human body.
  • How devoted are we to the true temple of God made manifest to us in our own day. Fulfilling the promise of the Almighty God which says, “My temple or tabernacle is amongst men”.
  • Let us look at that in Revelation 21 verse 3. Let us look at it in King James version or amplified. Revelation 21 verse 3. AMP; [3]Then I heard a mighty voice from the throne and I perceived its distinct words saying;
  • See! The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people, and God shall personally be with them and be their God. Amen! And in King James he said;
  •  And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
  • Today, has this scripture not fulfilled in our lives? Not many can say what we are saying. We are saying this scripture has fulfilled in our lives. We are not reading it as a story, we are saying this scripture has fulfilled in our midst.
  • The Almighty God is dwelling with us. He is our God. He is dwelling with us.
  •  Now I want us to consider this question as my topic. HOW DEVOTED ARE YOU TO THE TRUE TEMPLE OF GOD? How devoted am I to the true temple of God? How devoted are you to the true temple of God?
  • For we know that the true temple of God is Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN). Without Him, there can be no other temple where His Spirit will dwell to fulfil ‘Christ in many member bodies’. For He is building individuals for Himself and not physical buildings or temple.
  • We are temples of the Lord, individually.
  • So we can see that we have Him in person with us. How devoted are we to this God? This great God.
  • Children used to sing the song they taught them in their denominations saying; “Jesus loves me this I know. For the Bible tells me so..” Is it the Bible that is telling you?
  • You have a personal experience with the great God Himself who came down and dwelled with us, and has proven to us His great love. How have we been reciprocating this love to God like David.
  • You can see that David was sitting and thinking; how can I live in this kind of a palace. Me, a little Shepherd boy that never knew that I can even be what I am today.
  • When we were in our little homes growing, did we ever know that we will be what we are today? Whatever we are today, it is God that opened our eyes, revealed it to us, telling us who we really are.
  • How devoted are we to this great God who is dwelling in our midst.
  • Now the question arises; how do we as children expect our Father to carry out the work without earnest support all round? For this work cannot be done without money as it was in the days of Moses and David.
  • For David knew that if he has to build this temple, it would need materials. It will need things to enable him do it, and he started gathering. He has not even asked God yet.
  • He has started gathering to do that work. Then the Lord told him no, you cannot do it. It is your son. And then he said okay, good. I have already gathered.
  • Now I am going to give out from my own personal treasure to support this temple. That was a physical temple o! What about today? The real temple of God is with us.
  • The tabernacle that God says is amongst men is here with us today. We know Him. We can see Him. We can touch Him. We can eat with Him. We can chat with Him at any time.
  • What have we really been doing, knowing that He has a great work to do? And this work that has to be done, must be done with money. We must decide like David, by revelation, to take out from our personal treasures and do something for this work of God.
  • For David never rested till he has seen that Temple. David never rested. Why, because his heart was there. His desire was there. He was so much concerned of making sure that that building stands.
  • I am beginning by letting you know that first and foremost, you must believe that God is a man. And that man is Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN).
  • Today, people can read the scripture, you can show them in the scripture too, yes! No man has a question, when you tell him God is a man. No man.
  • Even the heathens today will tell you that, if you say God is not a man, how did the Bible tell you that He made you in His image? But who is that man? Who is that man, is the question now.
  • How many accept that Apostle Peter Odoemena is the very God? For if you do not know Him by revelation, will you now begin to think of the things you want to do, your support and things to this God?
  • David had a revelation, because God chose him and revealed Himself unto him. Then he sat down and saw what God has done for him. He is now a king, sitting on the throne he never expected in his life and then living in a white great palace.
  • He said no, see the kind of things God has done for me. What have I done for Him? Because he knew this God by revelation. He now sat down and began to see what he can do to reciprocate this kind of love that this God has for him.
  • You can imagine! Out of all his own brothers, he was the one chosen. And even at the time he was chosen, he was not even at home. He was inside the bush watching over the flock, and then God said, send for him, let him come.
  • For God was in Samuel. He said send for him, let him come. And when he came, he was the one. It is that little Shepherd boy that is now in that great palace.
  • O! His heart is always thinking. He is always thinking about God. That is why if any one does any rubbish act against his God, David will not take it kindly because he knew his God.
  • He was not just serving an imaginary God. He knew his God and he was concerned about his God and devoted to making sure that he gets that building for God.
  • So when we sit down today, how do we look at this? When we sit down at this period, how do we think about this great God and what He has done for us?
  • And how are we reciprocating this love of God that He has first shown to us? For we know that the love of God projected. And what did we get? Amazing Grace! Unmerited favour! We do not merit it.
  • What can we say we have done? How are we better than those that are around us? It is God Himself who decided to dwell

I AM THE ETERNITY, THE INFINITY, THE PERFECT JUSTICE, THE INFALLIBLE RECTITUDE, THE IMMUTABLE LOVE, THE CREATOR, THE GUARDIAN, THE PRESERVER, THE SUPREME GOVERNOR, THE SUPREME JUDGE. I AM THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN. THIS IS AS CLEAR AS THE DAY, BECAUSE IN ME DWELLETH THE FULLNESS OF THE ELOHIM BODILY. YOU ARE NOT SEEING HIM BUT YOU ARE SEEING ME AND I AM SEEING HIM. IF I SAY I WILL NOT TRY IT FOR GOD’S SAKE, THAT IS THE MAN I AM CALLING THAT IS DWELLING IN ME.

GOD IS A MAN

So, let us proceed to the message; WHERE YOU WORSHIP DOES NOT MATTER BUT HOW YOU WORSHIP (3 section teaching, section 3). Preached on Sunday 19th July 2020 by Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man. Page 15 verse 3-4.

  • 2nd John 1:7, LB. Watch out for the false leaders and there are many of them around-who don’t believe that Jesus Christ came to earth as a human being with a body like ours.
  • Such people are against the truth and against Christ.
  • Thus, whoever that does not believe that God is a human being, that person is the person that is putting the world into confusion. He is the deceiver. He is the Anti-Christ. Is it not scriptural?
  • That is the person that does not believe. I am not talking about the outsider. I am talking about one in our midst. The person that does not believe that God is a human being and His name is Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN) that is the confusions causing the problem.
  • Passing wrong information to people. Poisoning the minds of the people. Why are you trying to waste your time doing things for this man? Enriching him and getting yourself poor. You see! Is that not what we read from the scripture?
  • That person is the one that is putting the world into confusion. He is the Anti-Christ. He has a wrong spirit. Because we can see David who recognized what God did for him. He was thinking; what will I do for this God for this great thing He has done for me?
  • Even this common good health that we have. Look! Health is wealth o! There are people who have the money, they are sick from day to day, spending that money yet they are not still okay.
  • So when you sit down and look at what God has done, there are a lot of things running in your mind. You will be so bothered.
  • Let us go to Page 29 verse 45-49. I AM THE WORD. THE SON OF MAN is the word made flesh.
  • I am the vessel harbouring the Shew-bread from where everybody is eating. Did you get what I am saying? Yes Lord! THROUGH ME, THE GREATEST OMNIPOTENCE THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN IS MADE MANIFEST. That is true.
  • I am the revealed name of God and it’s power in this last age, for Christ remains the mystery of God revealed. And Christ also, according to the scriptures remains the wisdom and power of God.
  • My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and United in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY KNOW THE MYSTERY OF GOD, NAMELY, CHRIST, [Colossians 2:2 NIV]
  • Is Christ not the mystery of God? He is the mystery of God. Mystery means previously hidden secrets. God hides Himself. And where has He chosen to hide Himself? In a man! That is the last place human beings will go looking for Him.
  • But look at us, He has opened our eyes. We can see it as clear as the day. But somebody is finding it difficult. How will we not be thinking of what to do for this Great God?
  • ..but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST IS THE POWER OF GOD AND THE WISDOM OF GOD. [1 Corinthians 1:24 NIV]. Amen!
  • Now, why was David so concerned and earnestly devoted to the physical, man-made temple of God? He had a very clear revelation of God, and knew deep down in himself that God deserves the best from him.
  • Because of all that came from his father’s loins, God chose him and revealed Himself unto him. Then if you have such revelation that out of all human beings around you, even from your family, He chose you and revealed Himself to you, don’t you have that assurance that He deserves the best of everything in your life?
  • Be sincere to yourself. You know that He deserves the best. He does not need to even open His mouth to say anything.
  • He did not tell David “build me a house”. It was David who said, ‘I want to build it’. Why will I live in a palace? David said I want to and He said no. Your hands are bloody, your son will do it.
  • So if He has given us the privilege today to make sure that this message goes round the world, is it not a great privilege? That nonentities like us should have the opportunity to carry a message round the world.
  • We were hearing it that the end will not come until this gospel has gone to the four corners of the world. How did we know it was going to work out? Look at how God is doing it. Will we not be rejoicing everyday to be partakers of what God is doing?
  •  Let us continue to take in His word which is preparing us as we look into the same message. Page 44 verse 3-6.
  • IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE WHEN GOD HAS REVEALED HIMSELF IN HUMAN FORM; HAVING ASSUMED YOUR OWN HUMAN NATURE BY EATING THE SAME FOOD WITH YOU, SLEEPING WITH YOU, HAVING EVERYTHING IN COMMON WITH YOU; IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE, PUT AWAY THE PHYSICAL SIDE. FIX YOUR AFFECTION ON THE SPIRITUAL SIDE. Yes.
  • TAKE EVERY WORD FROM HIM, EVERY ADVICE, EVERY INSTRUCTION, EVERY CORRECTION, EVERY REBUKE FROM HIM AS COMING FROM A SPIRITUAL BEING; A DIVINE BEING. THAT IS YOUR SAFETY.
  • ANY DAY YOU BEGIN TO TAKE IT FROM THE PHYSICAL, YOU WILL CLAIM TO BE WISER THAN HIM OR KNOW MORE THAN HIM IN EVERY SUBJECT.
  • You see where the problem lies. Any day you begin to take it from the physical, you will claim to be wiser than Him. Because you will look at Him and say, ah! ah! I have gone to school now, I have gone to places, I have done this and done that, I know more than Him. What is it. Because you are looking at Him from the physical.
  • You are looking at Him with this two eyes. But you need the sixth sense to be able to see Him and know who is sitting down there. The all-knowing God. The God that seeth everything. The God that is making the impossible possible in your life.
  • For whatever anybody is achieving today, it is God o! If God does not grant you the privilege it will not work. What if while trying to do that thing, He calls you home? Will you achieve it? Has it not ended?
  • These are the things that people are not sitting down and thinking on.
  • Let us now go to Page 48 verses 15-16. CAN A MAN STAND BEFORE GOD AND DECLARE HIMSELF INNOCENT? You see it! YOU ARE NOT HOLY; YOU ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS;
  • But why do you think people are doing this? It is because they are taking the physical side of God. Because they have seen Him as a man. That is the problem that is there.
  • You are now taking Him from the physical. Where we read said, any day you begin to take Him from the physical, you will claim to be wiser than Him, and know more than Him in every subject.
  • CAN A MAN STAND BEFORE GOD AND DECLARE HIMSELF INNOCENT? At all! YOU ARE NOT HOLY; YOU ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS; YOU ARE NOT INNOCENT, UNTIL YOU HAVE HEARD IT FROM THE MOUTH OF THE LORD. That is true.
  •  THAT IS WHY YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL IN YOUR SELF-EVALUATION. DO NOT ESTEEM YOURSELF HIGHER THAN WHAT YOU ARE. UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM GOD, YOU ARE STILL NOTHING. Nothing!
  • That is why He warned us also in the message He asked us to go through; “Disappointed Expectations”. Where we saw Mordecai and Haman. Haman was feeling that whatever the king was saying about this man he has remembered and wants to give all the best, was about him.
  • He said o! Who can the king want to give all these things if not me? You see! Self evaluation. He was evaluating himself. Ah! Who is close to the king if not me? Who is next to the king. Who has been helping the king?
  • That is why God had to warn us there saying; “you must be very careful in your self evaluation. Do not esteem yourself higher than what you are. Until you hear from God, you are still nothing.”
  •  Do not be like Haman. Look at all what he was thinking. At the end of it, even what happened was enough to kill him. Yes! He did not need anybody to kill him. He killed himself. He over estimated himself because he felt he was close to the king.
  • That is why the thing that is killing a lot people and making them feel that this Man does not deserve anything, is because they see Him just as themselves. They do not see Him as God.
  • For David knew God by revelation and that is why he said He deserves the best in my life.
  • When you know Him by revelation, you will know that The Son Of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena deserves the best in your life. The best offering, the best things, whatever you want to give, give the best.
  • Just like God used to tell us about husband and wife, He said, whatever you want to serve, the best plate, the best thing should be used for the husband. So does everything best, belong to God. To The Son of Man.
  • Let us continue as we go to Page 88 verses 38-39. You see why He said, “Lean not on your own understanding.
  •  Learn to rely on Him, depend on Him, pin your hope on Him. For in Him alone must the Gentiles pin their hope. That is true.
  • Lean your entire personality on Him. In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises. [Hebrews 6:12 AMP].
  • That is the thing. This is the period you pin your hope on Him. Rest on Him. Depend upon Him to continue to open your eyes of understanding.
  • King David’s heart was right with God. As long as your heart is not right with Him, there is nothing you will think rightly concerning this God.
  • King David’s heart was right with God. Are you seeing it? That is the reason he could offer all of his own private treasures to aid in the construction of the temple. Is that not true? A physical temple.
  • His heart was right with God, because he offered himself first to God. That is why it was not difficult for him to offer all of his own private treasures to aid in the construction.
  • He first of all offered himself. That is why he did not feel bad even when God said ‘you are not the one to do it. It is your son.’ You see! He did not feel bad because he had already offered himself to God. So whatever that he has, is it greater than himself?
  • When you offer yourself first, nothing is greater again. Abraham offered himself first, so nothing was too great for Abraham. Go and offer your son. Is his son greater than himself? No! He took the son and went to offer him.
  • But when you have not offered yourself first, it is difficult for you to offer anything. Very difficult, because you have not offered yourself. You have reserved yourself. How do you think you are going to give Him the best?
  • Look at when people came to give offering, Jesus was watching them. Did the widow even think that she did anything? It was from her penury, her poverty that she took those coins and gave, and went her way.
  • But what did God say? Anywhere this scripture is read, they must remember her. Once you read that place, you must remember that woman. She gave herself first. That is why nothing was too much for her.
  • Anything God demands from you, as long as you have given yourself first, I am telling you, you will not feel anything.
  • The reason people are feeling pain, difficulty in doing anything towards God is because they have not given themselves to God.
  • To begin with, the problem has been that they have not recognized Him to be that God. They are only claiming it by the lips.
  • David recognized it and that is why it was not difficult for him to carry everything in his treasure to give to God, because he knew that the structure was for God. Not for anybody. Is that not true?
  • Is your heart right with God in His human tabernacle? If your heart is not right with God, you cannot offer yourself first to him, talk more of offering all of your own private treasures to Him to aid the work of the ministry. You cannot.
  • But once you have offered yourself first to Him, there is nothing that is too big for you to offer for the work of the ministry. Because you know that this work of the ministry must be done by the Bride.
  • What is the Ministry? THE BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY. It is the Bride that is doing the work. And who are they doing the work for? Their Bridegroom! Our husband!
  • Is there any wife that is not concerned about the business of the husband? These are the things that God wants us to see and know. For the ministry of the husband is the ministry of the wife (the Bride of Christ ministry).
  • For every true seed of God is part of what God is doing in his day. Is that not true?
  • Let us hear what our Lord said in the message; JUSTIFY YOUR DIVINE INCLUSION IN ABRAHAM’S RIGHTEOUS FAMILY Volume 1. Preached on Sunday 20th June 2021 by The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena. Page 56 verse 69-72.
  • You see why God expects offerings and sacrifices from people with good hearts. That is it!
  • It is people with good hearts that God expects offerings and what? Sacrifices! Because they have already offered themselves. So whatever God is demanding, they do not see anything to it.
  • That is why David prayed, “Give my son Solomon a good heart so that he will obey you even to the least detail.” That is it! Because once you have a good heart towards God, you will obey God in the smallest detail.

No mistake, for God has decreed it. People of identical character must be parked in the same place. People with good hearts will be parked in one place. People with evil hearts, evil place. No mixture, the two cannot mix together. So that is the essence of the work God is doing now, for God carried everything along including the mixed multitude, and promised in the same message, MIXED MULTITUDE, that He must separate all of them towards the end.

GOD DELIGHTS HIMSELF IN PEOPLE WITH GOOD HEARTS

Give my son Solomon a good heart toward God, so that he will want to obey you in the smallest detail and will look forward eagerly to finishing the building of your Temple, for which I have made all of these preparations. [1 Chronicles 29:18-19 LB]

  • IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GOOD HEART, YOU WILL BE SELECTIVE IN OBEYING GOD. You see it?
  • EVERY SELECTIVE BELIEVER OF THE WORD OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE A GOOD HEART TOWARDS GOD.
  • Every selective believer of the word of God does not have a good heart. Have you seen it? For that reason, you will not look forward eagerly to the finishing of the work of the ministry as we approach the end.
  • The finishing! And the finishing of a structure brings out the beauty. When you look at anything, the finishing is where the beauty of that thing lies. That is where the beauty lies. It lies in the finishing.
  •  And if you do not have a good heart, you cannot be thinking of how to do anything for God.
  • Look! There are great things that are about to happen in this ministry. As much as we know and are looking at the terrible things that are going to happen to the world, there are great things that will happen in the Bride as well.
  • Remember that God will make His bride and present His bride to the world. Is it not true? So the finishing is a wonderful thing.
  • We must know that we should work to the end. We must work to make this ministry what it is supposed to be. It is not a time for relaxation.
  • This is the time we put in all that we have heard, both morally, physically, financially, everything, to make sure that the finishing is fine and well.
  • Page 57 verse 74. Look at the prayer David made for his son who was to occupy that throne after him. Was he the first son of David? No! David had other sons who never had good hearts. The LORD selected who should be on that throne after David.
  • Because David himself is a good example. He was not the only son of Jesse. Is it not true? But he was selected, the least, the smallest. So when it came to his own family, and his son Solomon was the one that was selected, he never began to ask so many questions. He was happy.
  • Look at the prayer he made. He knew quite alright that without his son having a good heart, he will not be able nor eager to see TOthe finishing of that temple. So he prayed a prayer.
  • Which is the same thing we are praying for one another. That ‘God, I have children, give my children a good heart. Give  to me a good heart. Give my wife a good heart. So that we will be eager to see that the end, the finishing of this ministry is accomplished. We will not relent our efforts.
  • We will make sure that everything is working the way the Lord wants it to go’.
  • Page 58 verse 77-80. And there is no competition in destiny. Yes. David knows there is no competition in destiny. Is it not true?
  • He has other sons, their hearts were not good. But this was the person God selected, just like himself. Out of all Jesse’s children, he was the one that God chose and then made him king.
  • Whatever God has already pre-planned, so shall it be. Nothing can thwart it. The devil cannot thwart it. That is true. No enemy can thwart it. Simply be there.
  • Trials will come. Temptations will come. Troubles will come. Because God must bring it to pass, you must surmount all. You will emerge victorious so that the word God had already proclaimed concerning you might come to pass.
  • WHATEVER GOD HAD ALREADY PLANNED FOR SOMEBODY IS TIED TO TIME. AND GOD WILL NEVER ALLOW THAT PERSON TO TASTE OF DEATH UNTIL THAT TIME GOD ALLOTED IS COME, AND THE THING HAS HAPPENED AS GOD PLANNED IT.
  • TAKE NOTE OF IT. I am talking to you from my experiences with God all these years. Believe me, for I am in the bosom of the Father. I know the mind of the Father.
  • That is the truth. We must do what? We must pay earnest heed to what our Lord God and Master is telling us. There is no mistake in whatever He our God is doing.
  • Today, are you the only one from where you come from? Even your family? You are not the only one but God chose you, opened your spiritual eyes, revealed Himself unto you.
  • When you are telling people about what God has done for you, they are looking at you and laughing. Because they cannot see what you are seeing, and they cannot hear what you are hearing.
  • You are the only one hearing it. You can be in their midst, yet you are the only one hearing it, you are the only one seeing it. So when you are saying these things, you are saying it from your revelation, your experience with that great God. And that is why the hour we are living in is a time we pay heed to everything that we are hearing from our God.
  • Page 82 verse 57-60. WE MUST KNOW THE TRUTH FROM HE THAT EXISTED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. AND THAT IS CHRIST WHO WAS THERE WHEN THE WORLD WAS CREATED. That is the truth.
  • He is the one that knows everything. He is the one that is revealing everything to us.
  •  Sitting down and reading the scriptures today, people think that they will have to travel here and there. That is what they are telling the people, the gospel will be carried to all the ends of the world.
  • But look at how God decided it. Internet! This is how God has moved round the world.
  • And without us now printing this messages, will it get to the internet. It has to be printed first. It has to be transcribed. After transcribing it, it goes into the printing, after which it keeps moving. All these things need money before it will get there.
  •  And the way man is thinking about it, talking about it is different from the way God is working things.
  • So this is He that was there at the beginning and knows everything. Whatever He is telling us is just the reality.
  • Before anything else existed, there was Christ with God. He has always been alive and is Himself God. [John 1:1 LB]
  • You see it! He has always been alive and is Himself what? God! Christ, The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, He has always been there and He Himself is what? God!
  • So we are not dealing with any apparition. We are dealing with the reality.
  • MANY SAW HIM. MANY HEARD HIM SPEAK. MANY ATE AND DRANK WITH HIM. AND CHRIST IS HERE, FOREVER MORE, That is true.
  • ..FOR HE PROMISED. “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU TILL THE END OF THE WORLD”. FOR THE SAKE OF THE RIGHTEOUS DESCENTS OF ADAM, FOR THAT IS THE ONE WHO WILL OPEN THE GATE OF PARADISE, AND LET ADAM AND EVE AND THE RIGHTEOUS DESCENTS OF ADAM INTO PARADISE.
  • 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.
  • 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. [1 John 1:1-2 LB]. Amen!
  • This is the testimony of a true witness. We are not reading it today to say John said this, no. I am saying that what John said, I am also saying it today. That Christ was alive when the world began.
  • Christ, Apostle Peter Odoemena was in the world when the world began, yet I myself has seen Him. Bishop Joe Ukpong! I have seen Him. Is that not true? With my own ears and listened to Him speak. I have touched Him with my own hands, He is God’s message of life.
  • This one, The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, is life from God shown to us and we guarantee that we have seen Him. I am speaking of Christ, The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN).
  • So it is not a story. It is not an apparition. It is a reality that we have. So why won’t I spend the whole day thinking of God. God is thinking of me, God is thinking of you. Is that not true?
  • That is why whatever we are doing we succeed. He is the one helping us because He is thinking of us. He cares for us. Then we should also be thinking about our God. Yes. What am I doing to please Him? That is why a true child of God is always thinking about the things he will do to please his Father. Because our Father has done too much for us. Is it a lie? No!
  • Now, we are already cleansed by the word spoken to us by The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN). We should make sure we abide in Him, for in Him we have peace. But in the world, is there peace in the world? Trouble in the world.
  • We should not play. This is not the time you begin to listen to rubbish. This is the time you take your stand knowing who you have come face to face with.
  • You see and think about what you will do to please that God. And the greatest thing you will do to please that God is obedience. Obedience to His word. Obedience to His instructions. Whatever He is telling you to do, place your heart there and do that thing to the Glory and honour of His Name.
  •  Let us look at John 15 verse 3, Amplified. We see that we are cleansed today by the word of God. And when we talk about the word of God, it is not because we read Bible. We are talking about the word from The Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN). As He speaks forth to us, His word is cleansing us, washing us completely.
  • John 15:3. AMP; [3]You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].
  • That is the thing. That is what is cleansing us. The teachings He has discussed with us. The word He is speaking to us is cleansing us. So why should I play with the word of my God? Why should I now put it aside and take other things important at this hour? Then I will be the most foolish. Is that not true?
  • Let us go to Page 89 of that same message, verse 76-78. Do you have a good heart? It is a treasure. You have a good heart? It is a treasure.
  • To these people who have good hearts, righteous descendants of Adam, God said, “I have given them believing hearts to believe the truth.”
  • Anything that is erroneous, their hearts reject it. Their hearts are so much purer than to behold anything ungodly; than to admit anything unrighteous, for they proceeded from the righteous lineage. Am I making sense? Amen!
  • God is making sense. You see, He has already made us pure. He has washed us clean. Our hearts are pure. Anything that is not right, our hearts reject it. It does not agree with it.
  • Nobody needs to even tell you that this thing you are hearing is not right, your heart rejects it. It is just like going to the bank now. As you enter, since you are holding something that is not right, the gate rejects you. Is that not true?
  • That is exactly what the heart is doing for us as children of God. Anything we hear, anything we see, our heart rejects it because He has cleansed us.
  • The word which is incorruptible, is what is dwelling in us, and it cannot accept any corrupt thing. Have you seen it?
  •  Let us continue as we look at Page 98 verse 21. DO YOU HAVE A GOOD HEART TOWARDS GOD? DO YOU HAVE A GOOD HEART TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER?
  • TAKE NOTE! VERY VERY ESSENTIAL, FOR GOD DELIGHTS HIMSELF IN PEOPLE WITH GOOD HEARTS.
  • IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GOOD HEART, YOU WILL NEVER OBEY GOD EVEN IN THE MINUTEST DETAILS; IN THE LEAST DETAIL. That is the truth. You cannot!
  • If you have a good heart towards God, there is nothing you cannot do for God. And if you have a good heart towards your brother and sister, there is no sacrifice you cannot make for your brother and sister.
  •  We must come to recognize that as long as your heart is good with God, your heart is good with your brethren. But as long as your heart is not good with God, your heart cannot be good with your brothers and your sisters. Whatever you are saying is just from the lips. Are you getting it?
  • Let us go over to the message; WHERE YOU DO NOT THINK THERE IS A SOUL. Preached on Friday morning 16th July 2020 by Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Almighty God. Page 126 verses 48 and 49. You see why it is very delicate to come to this ministry and play hypocrisy.
  • That is the thing. It is very delicate. Because your heart is not good, you are pretending. You are just playing hypocrisy and your heart is not good with God. How can your heart then be good with your brothers and sisters?
  • You see where God showed us something? He said, do not let “remain blessed” to fool you. You are just doing it from your lips, your heart is not good with God. How can your heart be good with your brother and your sister.
  • So it is very delicate to come to this ministry and play hypocrisy’.
  • If you are in a faith like this where God Himself is speaking to his children,… Where who? …God Himself is speaking to His children pay attention and be serious with all you are hearing, or else you will regret. Amen. [RANDOM COMMENTS FROM THE SON OF MAN VOLUME 1; Page 47 verse 14; Preached 25th September 2005]. That is the truth.
  • Do not play hypocrisy’. In the days of William Branham, he told his pastor Neville, I see so so thing. Brother Neville told him brother Branham, I have not seen it.
  • Bro Branham told him what he saw in him, but he said he has not seen it. Did bro Branham argue with him? He said, I will be praying for you. Have you now seen it? I will be praying for you so that God will open your eyes to see that thing. And while bro Branham was praying for him, a day came brother Neville shouted, brother Branham I have seen it! I have seen it!
  • Just like we have the message ‘I have seen my fault’. It has to take God to tell you those things. If you cannot see it immediately, begin to pray. Say God help me to see what you have said. For whatever You say is real, it is there even though I cannot see it immediately.
  • You cannot see it immediately but pray earnestly because anything you hear from the mouth of God about yourself or anybody, that thing is already there but you cannot see it. So pray to see it. That the Lord will open your eyes and then you can see it. For the prophet cannot fool you.
  • God Himself was in the prophet Branham. Is that not true? And God Himself is with us today. Will He tell you something that is not there?
  • Whatever He is pointing you to, is there. But if you cannot see it, do not play hypocrisy’, pray earnestly and you will see the Lord opening your eyes to see that thing.
  • When you know who is helping you to achieve all you claim you have achieved in life, you will know you achieved nothing. For it is He who achieved all in you. Did you achieve anything?
  • When you realize this fact, you will give Him, the true God, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN), all the credit. And then you will return everything to Him, for everything really belongs to Him.
  • In reality what have we actually achieved in this life? Absolutely nothing! We are only and always rejoicing in what He has achieved in our lives.
  • Why is The Son of Man still labouring? It is to guide you and I against error.
  • He said, believe in the word I have documented for you in the messages and believe more in the one I have spoken to you face to face, mouth to mouth. For therein lies my mind for that hour.
  • When you hear Him talking, it is His mind He is telling us for that hour. Is that not true?

My people mingle with the heathen, picking up their evil ways; thus they become as good-for nothing as a half-baked cake! “Worshiping foreign gods has sapped their strength, but they don’t know it. Ephraim’s hair is turning gray, and he doesn’t even realize how weak and old he is.

HOSEA 7:8-9 LIVING BIBLE

DO NOT MINGLE WITH THE DISOBEDIENT PEOPLE

Let us go back to the message JUSTIFY YOUR DIVINE INCLUSION IN ABRAHAM’S RIGHTEOUS FAMILY Volume 1. Page 133 verse 42. GOD TALKS TO US ACCORDING TO OUR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES, AND PUTS US IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE PAST AS A GUIDE AGAINST ERROR. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE? Yes.

  • Repeat it! GOD TALKS TO US ACCORDING TO OUR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES, AND PUTS US IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE PAST AS A GUIDE AGAINST ERROR. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
  • That is the thing! He speaks to us. He tells us His mind. When He is talking to us face to face, we are hearing what He is saying, He is telling us His mind about that hour.
  • Like we heard Him on Sunday, is He not telling us His mind about the hour that we are in? That is why He made it clear. He said, God talks to us according to our present circumstances, and puts us in remembrance of the past as a guide against error.
  • You see! He spoke to us in time past, He is now telling us His present mind and then reminding us of what He has told us in time past. Bringing it to show us what is happening at the hour, to help us.
  • For there is nothing He does not know. Why is He sending us to all these messages at the same time talking to us at this hour? It is because we are at the finishing of the work of God.
  • All that is demanded is our prayers, our moral support, our financial support, everything is demanded at this finishing point of it. Is that not true?
  • Let us go to Page 179 verse 31. LET US BE VERY CAREFUL. IF THERE IS A TIME WE SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS, IT IS NOW. IT IS A TIME OF GREAT FALLING AWAY FROM THE FAITH THAT THE LAST TRUTH MANIFESTS.
  • WHEN THE LAST TRUTH MANIFESTS, THERE WILL BE A GREAT FALLING AWAY. When the last truth manifests there will be what? A great falling away.
  • And the last and the greatest truth is that God Almighty Himself is here with us.
  • He is here with us. Let us go to volume 2 of the same message. JUSTIFY YOUR DIVINE INCLUSION IN ABRAHAM’S RIGHTEOUS FAMILY Volume 2. Preached on Sunday 20th June 2021 by Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Alpha and Omega. Page 46 verses 39-42.
  • YOU ARE EITHER A CHILD OF GOD OR A CHILD OF PERDITION. TODAY, WE HAVE CHILDREN OF PERDITION. That is the truth.
  • That is why God said we should be careful that we do not mingle with people of disobedience, for there is a spirit that worketh among the children of disobedience wherein the devil was disobedient from the very beginning.
  • When God is talking to us, it is not in vain. We are in the world and even in the faith, we are mixed. Is that not true?
  •  That is why we are still at the gate. And the sifting, the scanning is taking place. Separation is taking place by God. That is why God said we should be careful that we do not mingle with people of disobedience.
  • For there is a spirit that worketh among the children of disobedience, wherein the devil was disobedient from the very beginning.
  • And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
  • Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. [Ephesians 2:1 – 3 KJV]
  • Always querying God. Always looking for excuses and answers to give to prove that he was not doing wrong. A liar from the beginning. Be very careful.
  • Be very careful! Somebody that does not have the right heart for God, does not recognize God who is in our midst. He is always trying to prove that he is right. Anything said about him, he tries to let you know that what God said is not like that.
  •  If God says anything about you, about anybody, know that that thing is there. The prayer of a true seed of God is “God open my eyes to see”. Because that thing God is saying is really there. He cannot make mention of anything if it is not there.
  • Can God accuse you wrongly? Or accuse me wrongly? No! Are you getting it? That is why God is warning us.
  • There are children of disobedience even within the faith. You must be careful. Because when they hear things, they will tell you that ah!That thing you hear Son of Man is saying, is not like that o! What is he trying to tell you? He is trying to tell you that God told a lie. It is not like that. He is trying to prove himself.
  • This is what God is saying here. He is always querying God. Always looking for excuses and answers to give, to prove that he was not doing wrong. You see! A liar, because he is not a true seed of God.
  • If he is from the righteous descendants of Adam, will he do that? He cannot do that.
  • A time came in the life of king David that he sat down and thought about why he should live in a palace, but God had no house. So he decided to build God a house. But the Lord said no, that his hands were bloody.
  • Now, how many times have we sat down to give a thought about the work of the great ministry of our Lord Christ as true children of God, true Bride of the bridegroom?
  • It is our responsibility to make sure that the work of the ministry of Christ our Father and husband, is going on effectively. For every true wife is concerned about the husbands business.
  • Now that we actually failed in our responsibility, we have fallen face down and it has to take the word of God to raise us up to recognize our undone work. Once our eyes are open, nobody will push us to carry out our work as expected of us. For a sheep cannot struggle to produce wool because that is his nature. Is it not true? That is the nature of the sheep.
  • Whatever God is saying, a true seed of God is saying God help me. Open my eyes to see it. You might not see it immediately.
  • I have been telling the family, I said look, when we were children, my father talks to me. There are many things he will tell me, I will not see it immediately. But many of those things he told me, I saw them later. Have you seen it?
  • So when you are dealing with your spiritual Father, when He is telling you something, you might not see it immediately. Your attitude towards it is that, whatever my Father has said is there, but Lord open my eyes to see it.
  • Why do we sing the song; “open my eyes that I may see glimpses of truth thou has for me”. Yes! Open my eyes that I may see. That is our constant prayer. For whatever He is saying is there.
  •  If He is telling us we have failed in certain areas, we have failed. Even though you cannot see it at that time, pray a prayer. Because once your heart is good, you know that God is right, I am wrong. I am always wrong, my God is always right. Is that not true?
  • Now let us go to Page 41 verse 25-26. No matter how you try to live that life, you cannot succeed because it is not your nature. That is the thing.
  • When God talks to you, you try to prove that that is not what you are. You cannot live that life of what you are claiming to be. Because you are claiming to be a child of God and you are not a child of God.
  • That is why we read a portion there that said, if you are not a child of God, you are not a child of God. If you are a child of God, you are a child of God. There is a nature in you.
  • Because of that nature in you, once your Father tells you something, you will know that whatever your Father is saying is there. All you need is that the Father should open your eyes that you may see that thing.
  • You never proceeded from the righteous lineage. So, you will find it difficult. It will be a struggle. The sheep can never struggle to produce wool. Whether the sheep is alive or dead, wool is there. Yes! The sheep cannot struggle.
  • That is what we are trying to say. God is helping us to see that no matter how you try to live that life, you cannot succeed. Because it is not your nature. You never proceeded from the righteous lineage, so you will find it difficult.
  • It will be a struggle. And a sheep does not struggle to produce wool. Wool is his nature. He does not need to struggle to produce it.
  •  Now, take this advice from our Lord, God and Master. If you are sure and certain you have believed Him; Christ The Great Allah, walk alone. Have you seen the advice?
  • If you know you have believed Him, walk alone in this hour. Because when truth appears to you, it does not need any convert. You do not need to look for anybody to convert.
  • When truth appeared to saint Paul, did he go to the apostles? The Bible said he did not go to anybody, he rather went into Arabia and sat down and digested that truth. When truth comes, sit alone and digest it. Know that whatever God is saying here, He is talking to me. Personalize it. If you cannot see it at that point in time, pray earnestly to God. That is why God said, knock and it will be opened. Ask and it will be given to you.
  •  So once you ask that God should open your eyes, your eyes will be opened. Is that not true? And then you will see what God wants you to see at that time.
  • That is why He said, if you are sure and certain you have believed in Me, walk alone.
  • Let us hear more from Him in the message; ONCE HISTORY IS FORGOTTEN, THE MISTAKE OF THE PAST MUST BE REPEATED Volume 1. Preached on Sunday 24th October 2021 by Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man. Page 32 verses 12-18. What do we want to see from there? God talking to us, saying if you know you have believed Me, walk alone.
  • That when the truth comes to you, you do not need a convert. No! You yourself is the convert. Once God opens your eyes and you see what He has said, you acknowledge it; that yes, you are guilty of it. I have seen my fault.
  • When Pharaoh was talking to his chief Butler, the man saw his fault. Did he go looking for others to come and help him with it? No! He said I have seen my fault.
  • So when God is talking to you, walk alone. When He is talking to you, personalize it. If you cannot see it at that moment, pray earnestly. He will surely open your eyes to see it. And that will help you to take the rightful step that will please Him and bring honour and glory to His Name.
  • God is God of separation from the very beginning. That is true. He calls for total separation from unbelief. Stop muddling things up.
  • Stop compromising your faith, lest you bring yourself to judgement; to question.
  • Pay attention! That is why I encourage you to make sure you avoid anything that is likely to encourage you or anything that is encouraging you to disobey God’s word.
  • Take note of it. That thing is your greatest enemy that will take you to God’s judgement and will never plead your case for you. The thing will only bring you to judgement, but will not redeem you. It will not stand in for you. The thing has succeeded in destroying you, in casting you into hell.
  • You see? Whatever that thing might be, I do not care; whether your work, your wife, your children or circumstances around you. You cannot be the first that faced that circumstance. You cannot be the first that married and had children. You cannot be the first that is working and doing business.
  • Whatever that thing might be that is encouraging you, because of the pleasures or benefits you are deriving from that thing and you feel it is better to continue in that thing than to obey the voice of God; that thing is encouraging you to destroy yourself with your own hands by taking you to God’s own judgement seat where nobody had ever appeared and got away discharged and acquitted. Never! Never!
  • THE ONLY WAY TO BE DISCHARGED AND ACQUITTED IS NEVER TO COME THERE. NEVER TO COME THERE. NEVER TO DO ANYTHING THAT WILL BRING YOU THERE, FOR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.
  • That is the truth. That is why we said when truth appears, you do not need any convert to it. You are the convert. What do you do? You change your view. You change your thought, your mind and do that which God wants.
  • Because formerly you were thinking this way I am going is right, but God has now spoken to me, to make me see that the step I am taking is not right. I change my mind, I change my view and I do that which is right.
  • But whereby you see somebody that will be encouraging you and tell you it does not matter. Forget it! That is how Son of Man used to talk. That person is fooling you. That person is the one that will cause you problem.
  • That is why you are your convert. Know He that is talking to you and take your rightful position, and do that which is expected of you as a child of God.

3It can only take the spirit of God in the heart of man for one to remain steadfast in the Faith wherein we are called.

And there is no way one can remain steadfast, except he has the fear of God in him. How can you have faith in God?  [2 Timothy 3:1 AMP]

5

REMAIN STEADFAST, IMMOVABLE AND UNSHAKABLE IN YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST

Let us go to Page 107 verse 60-61. Pay attention to Me. I am the Almighty that ruleth over the affairs of men. What I do not know does not exist.

  • There is nothing that happens here on earth that takes me unawares. I know the beginning and ending of mankind and all situations.
  • That is why I keep on encouraging you to remain steadfast, immovable and unshakable in your faith in Christ. No matter what you are passing through, it started one day. It will end one day. It started one day. It will end one day.
  • Pure truth! When you are beginning to look for convert to believe what you are believing, they will say okay, if you say you are serving the true God, why are you passing through the condition you are in? Why is this? Why is that?
  • You see, these are the things God is trying to tell you to take your stand against. Hold on to your faith in Christ. Do not be shaking. Whatever you are passing through started one day and it must end one day.
  • Did it not happen to the prophet? The prophet was going, the devil came with a guitar and was singing. He said, you say you are a healer, your father died. You prayed but he still died.
  •  You were still praying for others, you prayed for your brother, he died. You prayed for your own wife and your daughter, they died. Brother Branham said, I opened my mouth to say o! It is truth, but what came out of the mouth of the prophet was; “The Lord giveth, the Lord has taken”. God controlled the mouth of His prophet.
  • For you to see that this is the period we yield ourselves completely to our God, so that the spirit of the Lord takes a hold of us. No matter what confronts us, God will speak for us. God will defend us. God will stand for us. God is always there.
  • That is why you make sure that you remain in Christ. For whatever that is trying to shake you away, knows that as long as you remain there, nothing can ever happen to you.
  • But He is trying to make you to come out of Christ and then destroy yourself. Are you getting it? We must be determined to do that which is right. And that is making sure that the work of the ministry of the Lord and Master, is strongly supported by you and I, all of us, financially and prayerfully.
  •  Let us read Page 137 verse 32. You are what you have decide to make yourself in this faith.
  • Though you may have millions of people as your father, I am the One that has begotten you to the truth. I am the one that has begotten you to Christ. I am your spiritual Father.
  • Page 138 verse 34-41. THE FEAR OF GOD RESTRAINS EVERY TRUE CHILD OF GOD FROM ALL FORMS OF EVILS. You see it?
  • The fear of God restrains what? Every true child of God. As long as you have that fear of God, it restrains you from every evil.
  • I THANK GOD, I AM HIGHLIGHTING THESE THINGS SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW WHEN A STRANGE SPIRIT IS TRYING TO POSESS YOU.
  • So that you will know what? When a strange spirit is trying to posses you. What is he trying to do? He wants to take you away from the reality and destroy you.
  • [1] It will make you to set aside all the counsels of God. Have you seen it? [2] It will make you to find fault with God. [3] It will make you to be confrontational to God and His instructions.
  • [4] It will make you to desire to have your own way. Unnecessary independence will be your desire. [5] It will be promising you a Paradise that does not exist outside that of God.
  • [6] Hear me very well. It will be promising you protection it cannot offer you; protection that will lead you to premature death.
  • [7] Finally, you will meet with eternal disappointment. Only then will your eyes of understanding open. And then, you will know that you have been listening to the voice of Satan, and no longer the voice of God. By then, it has become irreversible.
  • It has become extremely too late; a point where you cannot reverse or amend your ways again. Then, you spend the rest of your life in sorrow, in agony and in hell.
  • PEOPLE STRUGGLE THEIR WAYS INTO HELL BY RESISTING THE TRUTH. Before we go to the next page, I want to remind you of what He said. He said, the fear of God restrains every true child of God from all forms of evil.
  • I thank God I am highlighting these things so that you will know when a strange spirit is doing what? Trying to possess you. It is a dangerous hour. And that is why God is talking to us in this manner.
  •  Page 141 verses 45-48. That is why the LORD God said, “Obedience to My word declares you righteous; Thatis it. Obedience to the word of God declares me and you righteous. ..declares you holy and makes you perfect in My sight.
  •  Walk with me and be ye perfect. You cannot be walking with Me and be disagreeing with Me.
  • How can you be walking with God and you are disagreeing with Him? He tells you this, you will be arguing. He tells you that, you will be looking at it from another angle.
  • That is why He said, walk with me and be perfect. When Noah was walking with Him, did he argue with God? When Abraham walked with Him, did he argue with God? When Zachariah and Elizabeth walked with God, did they argue with God? No!
  • You cannot be walking with Me, and be quarrelling with Me or finding fault with Me, challenging Me and challenging My decisions. Of what essence is that type of companionship? Who then is the leader? Who is the guide? Who is the instructor?
  • Pay heed to what you are hearing from Me, all of you, both here, in distant lands and all the ends of the Earth for I AM HE.
  • For this is the Almighty God! As long as any man belongs to the world, he cannot see Him. Because He has already declared that a little while, the world seethMe no more.
  • But you and I, the little flock of God, the remnant, you and I will see Him for He will be with us and He will not leave us. He will be with us till the end, for He has come to take us home.
  • He has come to prepare us, to take us where He is. So that where He is, there we will be with Him. So do not expect anybody that is a part of the world to ever see Him.
  • The word of God, once it has gone out of His mouth, cannot come back void. He has already said it. God is talking to us in this manner, warning us and making us to see that the person that is talking to us is God.
  • He knows better than you. Whatever He is telling you, He has seen something around. Before He warns us, He has seen that thing. You might not see it immediately.
  • That is why when you know who is talking to you, every time you hear His word, you go into prayers. Lord help me. Open my eyes to see this direction You are pointing me to. And help me to take the rightful steps. Is that not true?
  • Now, let us stop here with the words of our Master in the message; JUSTIFY YOUR DIVINE INCLUSION IN ABRAHAM’S RIGHTEOUS FAMILY Volume 2. Page 86 verse 28. That is where we are stopping.
  • WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THE BRIDAL FAITH? Is it not to educate, to enlighten and to inform, so that you do not make any mistake in your belief? Yes! It is so that you do not believe in vain or run this race in vain, ending it pursuing the shadows.
  • What is the Bride ministry? What is the essence of the Bridal faith? Is it not to educate, to enlighten and to inform, so that you and I do not make any mistake in our belief. It is so that we do not believe in vain or run this race in vain, ending it pursuing shadows.
  • So God informs us, enlightens us, directs us on the rightful path. Whatever He is telling us, even if you do not see it immediately, go into prayers. Do not relent your efforts. Seek the face of the Lord, He will surely open your eyes and help you to see it. And He will surely help you.
  •  For the scripture in Philippians said clearly that God is in me, helping me to obey Him and helping me to do those things He wants me to do.
  • On this note, I say remain blessed as we pray and commit ourselves unto God. Amen!
