I HAVE FOUND THE MAN WHOM THE LAW AND PROPHET SPOKE ABOUT VOLUME 1 Preached

ON Sunday 5^th June 2022 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN

Transcribed by Deacon David Mbah Students’ Fellowship, MOUAU Abia

^[3]And everyone who really believes this will try to stay pure because Christ is pure. ^[4]But those who keep on sinning are against God, for every sin is done against the will of God. ^[5]And you know that He became a Man so that He could take away our sins, and that there is no sin in Him, no missing of God’s will at any time in any way. ^[6]So if we stay close to Him, obedient to Him, we won’t be sinning either; but as for those who keep on sinning, they should realize this: They sin because they have never really known Him or become His.

1 John 3:3 – 6 Living Bible

Ask in My Name. You shall receive, that your joy will be full. How can you ask in My Name when you have not believed in Me? You do not believe that I, Apostle Peter Odoemena is the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth that is guiding you into the knowledge of all truths. You do not even believe that I am He and that I proceeded from the Father. How can you ask in My Name? You cannot ask the favour of someone you do not believe in.

INTRODUCTION

PRAYER

Our Heavenly Father, You know everything about us. There is nothing we are passing through which You do not know. Even our physical and spiritual conditions, You know all. You know everything about the infirmities of our flesh.

They are there because You want them to be there. Otherwise, if You want to remove them from us, You will remove them. They are there [O LORD, Father] for us to learn our lessons that we are still subject to death like other men.
But there is only one clear difference. WE HAVE THE HOPE OF A BETTER RESURRECTION.
LORD we say thank you, for opening our eyes of understanding to recognize Who You are, and welcome You in our hearts for our own good.
Thank You, for not hardening our hearts against the truth when we hear it. THANK YOU, for You never closed our ears against the truth. Thank you for You never made us blind from recognizing You, that we might be saved.
THANK YOU for giving us good and perfect understanding of Your Word, thereby helping us [O God] to be a part of what You are doing in our day. THANK You O LORD, for before the world began, You had already purposed to save us in this end time. And that You are doing right now.
You are the same yesterday, today and forever. And Your Word [O God] has remained effective. And will remain effective in the eternity of eternities in the lives of all that proceeded from You, for they are coming back to You through the same Word which brought them into existence.
Father, we bow before You this morning as we worship and adore You at Thy feet. We can feel Your presence even here. We have recognized Your Deity even in our midst. We say, “Welcome” to You. Welcome to this Family Fellowship.
Welcome to this Holy Ghost Studio, from where You are reaching all the ends of the earth in righteousness through Your Word; from where You are preparing the souls You have already [O God] earmarked for salvation, preparing them O God for that Great Day when You will catch them away in righteousness.
LORD I pray Thee, whenever it will take place, let there be not even one that is called by Your Name that will be omitted. When this life is over, remember Me for good.
As we look into the Holy Scriptures with a view to finding out O God, that which was written afore-time concerning us, give us the eye salve to read. Give us the understanding. Give us O God, the faith to believe, more especially the uttered Words, the verbal Words, the Spoken Words that will proceed out of Thy lips this morning.
May we take all serious, and then make haste to put all things right as we notice in our lives that might be wrong all these years.
May there be O God, the knowledge and the zeal in us [Father] to make this last minute correction in our lives, so that we shall not regret embracing this truth and embracing You in Person for our Teacher.
Thank You immensely as we pray that You do not [O God], for any reason at all, hand us over to sleeping spirit, to the spirit of distraction or to anything O God that will divert our minds and our souls away from what we will be hearing here this morning.
Cover us with Thy glory. May Your presence fill all in all here. Stem down the tide of sicknesses and diseases among Your people. Stem down the tide of death among Your people. Let sound health and life reign in every family that is called by Your Name.
Roll away the hand of death, and let Your Supreme Majesty [O God] have dominion and control over every flesh that has acknowledged You to be their God and their Saviour.
To Your Name alone [O LORD of Hosts] I give the victory, the glory, honour, praise, worship and adoration for hearing and answering My prayers, for Your Name’s sake O LORD, I pray. Amen!

God is God that does supernatural things. Through mighty signs and wonders, He forced the Gentiles to obedience. Since you believe that the Son of Man has been revealed, there is going to be a performance of that which is promised. If you did not believe, there is no way. Glory be to God. ……. Now I know all of you are aware. I am The Smoking Firewood. I know I am rich in Mercy. I am equally rich in judgment. If I judge you, I will set you free, but if I do not judge you, you will be judged with the world. That is, you are already condemned because there is no way the world can become justified.

GOD IS REVEALED/MARRIAGE VOWS; Preached on Sunday 7^th November 1999; Pg. 72 vs. 18 & Pg. 117 vs. 23

THE END IS HERE

Be seated. We thank God immensely for ushering us into a new day like this. It is a wonderful day the LORD has made, and He wants us to rejoice exceedingly in it.

Remember, we have come to the end of all things. Everything is speaking only but one language. The End! The End! The End!
There was one supernatural occurrence in the air few days ago. I am surprised that up till now, nobody has ever alerted Me, indicating that he or she noticed that occurrence.
Maybe, God just sent that alarm for Me and for our Brother Chika who was the only one around Me that time. He was even asleep. I woke him up because it is a strange thing in the air.
I called him. Immediately, he responded and really woke up and then cleansed his eyes and saw the thing in the air.
I asked him a question, whether the moon had ever appeared from that side since he was born and even to assume that size about that same hour of the night, but he said no! I said, ok.
We watched the colour – the amber colour of the moon and we also watched how that same moon tilted. The tilting of the moon was equally a shocker.
We did not stop there. I started alerting Brethren. I called Pastor Chizoba, Pastor Thomas, Apostle Ojiakor at Enugu, commanding them to rush out of their houses and look up to the sky, and see whether they could locate it.
To My greatest surprise, up till now, not even one located it. The cloud had already covered the whole thing or the thing just vanished. If I never called Chika, I would have been a liar.
So, I am happy that the moon came to signify something. The moon came to signify something. And I made a statement; I said, “This is in line with the prophetic statements. This marks the end of this generation from one end of the earth to the other.”
And now the moon is appearing from another side of the world. From that day till now, we have not even seen a sign of a moon in the sky indicating that a new moon is appearing or that the old one is fizzling away. Nothing even once again.
So, it was a strange phenomenon. And the way it pinned on My eyes when I went to urinate, it was like the thing was on the window, just blinding My eyes. Before I knew it, it drifted back as if it was hanging around Emmanuel Lodge.
The frightening sight of that moon that hour made Me to raise alarm. And then, Chika rushed, who equally saw the thing before we started calling. Well, God wanted Me to have a witness.
Luke 21:25, KJV. ²⁵And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; ²⁶men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
²⁷And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a Cloud with power and great glory.
²⁸And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Acts 2:17 – 21, KJV. ¹⁷And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
¹⁸and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
¹⁹and I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
²⁰the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
²¹and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Today is another day here. Whatever we are doing now is putting ourselves in remembrance of what we were taught in time past, thereby helping ourselves to begin to tidy up everything in us and around us, preparatory for the trip.
We are likened to a woman who is expectant, and her expected day of delivery approaches very fast. She does not lazy about doing useless things anymore.
She concerns herself with the packing of her delivery bag as instructed by her doctors and midwives because any omission in that bag will cost her a lot in the labour room.
So, she makes sure that all the items needed by the doctors and midwives are carefully stacked in that bag ahead of time. And the bag is zipped close. This is so that whenever the signs of delivery appear and become furious, she does not need to be running helter-skelter packing the bag.
It is a matter of picking the bag, whether the husband is around or not. Whether there is a helper or not, she picks the bag straightaway to the hospital for her delivery.
And because she has packed the bag, she makes her journey easier. And also makes the doctors’ and nurses’ work.

¹⁵Since they say that God has left us, they should show us where God is right now, and show us the evidence. ¹⁶I have made My Doctrines public. They should make their doctrines public also and stop attacking individuals and personalities. ¹⁷By the revelation of this Truth which has been hidden since all the ages, we can now see that all denominations and their preachers have missed it all. ¹⁸All of them still preach and emphasize the necessity for keeping the Law as a means of getting God’s favour or justification. ¹⁹This is because this glorious Gospel of Christ is hidden from all of them, but we have to thank God greatly Who, by His divine love, has given us the Ministry of Apostles and Prophets wherein we stand.

The great sermon [2019 Revised Edition] Epistle 4: JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH IN CHRIST AND NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, Chapter 3 verse 15 through 19 Pg. 199

Justification is by faith

So, this morning, I want us to open all the translations of the Bible we have. All the translations. And all means all. Make sure you have one or two translations around you. I am serious about it.

And it is not only having it, be ready to read. Be ready to locate very fastly and to read very clearly. No distortions. No stammering of your lips. So, cleanse your eyes and your throat. They are Scriptures we know very well. We are conversant with them.
Remember, I am still putting you in remembrance of the truths that were set out before our eyes, confirmed by the Almighty God with supernatural signs and wonders, which He had always used to bring the Gentiles to obedience to the truth.
According to the same Scriptures, God used and is still using great supernatural signs and wonders to bring the Gentiles to obedience because Gentiles can hardly agree with anything that runs contrary to their philosophies. They can hardly agree with anything they have not seen with their eyes.
Romans 15:18 – 19, KJV. ¹⁸For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, ¹⁹through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
So, it is not easy to create Faith in the heart of the Gentiles. God, Who knows what is needed to create that Faith has supplied more than that to us. And we are without excuse again.
There is nobody here or in faraway countries who does not know, according to the Commission of THE SON OF MAN, that He will never stop or relent or get tired or ever be taken away until His Message has gone far to all the islands of the earth; to people in faraway lands; to people in all the ends of the earth – the four corners of the world – until every predestinated Elect of God chosen for salvation will embrace it.
For all that are concerned; all for who the Saviour is sent, and for whose cause, the Saviour is sent; for whose cause the Word is sent, must be positionally placed where they will embrace that truth and be a part of it, for it is meant for their salvation.
It is not for everybody. So, to them that feareth the LORD, to them is the Word of salvation sent. And those who know the value of Gold, they preserve that Gold.
But those who do not know the value, they trample upon it and treat it like every other metal – any other element because they do not have any distinction between bronze, silver and Gold. To them, all of them are the same.
To one who is destined to perish, all churches are one. All messages to him, are one. As long as Jesus is associated, they are all one. All denominations are one. So, to him, there are many roads that lead to Paradise.
But to a real Seed of God – the Elect – he knows there is only but one road. One God and One Road. One Pathway, One Message, not two.
If it is not the Message, it is not the Message. If it is not the Christ, it is not the Christ, for Christ is the Message which we preach. And He is the Anointed One. He is the Messiah. He is the physical Representative of the invisible God. He is the One that bears all the attributes of the Deity in Him bodily. He is the embodiment of the law and the Prophets. He is Grace made manifest.
So this morning, we will read popular Scriptures first. I will read different translations as I have promised. Then, use it as a background for a Message.
When that Message will come, I will equally talk a little about it, though I have not opened it. But the title alone is self-explanatory. It is a Message I have been anticipating. And at last, it has come.
Now follow Me as we really find out for ourselves the major reason why people read the Bible and take the Bible more seriously than any other book. Even those that are holding that Bible do not believe that there can be any other holy book that speaks about God.
Hence, those who believe in the Bible make it their absolute. They find it difficult to believe in the Holy Qur’an. They find it difficult to believe in other religious books that were also inspired by the same God.
And they penned down their own dispensational truths so that those that will come after will know that after one Prophet cometh another, for the LORD Jesus said, “Thus saith the wisdom of God.” And the Bible said, “Christ is the wisdom and power of God. I will send you Prophets and Apostles.” Plural!
1 Corinthians 1:20 – 24, KJV. ²⁴but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Luke 11:49, KJV. Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
He did not say, “I am sending all of them at the same time?” I am sending to you [future continuous tense] Prophets and Apostles. Some of them you will kill. Some, you will despise. Some, you will imprison that the words of the prophets of old might come to pass that you are not in any way better than your forefathers.
You may be saying that when you heard or read from the Scriptures of how your forefathers persecuted the Prophets and servants of God that were sent to them, they killed them.
During the inquisition in modern times also, they killed and imprisoned many.
You might be saying that if you were there, you would not have behaved like them. So they said in the days of Jesus Christ, but he said, “Nay! Do not say so. You are the same you. If you were there, the deeds of your father, you would have done also with them. You would never have spared the prophets. You would have killed them like your forefathers.”
John 8:40 – 41, KJV. ⁴⁰But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
⁴¹Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Watch what you are manifesting before Me today. If you lived in the days of Moses, the same way you are resisting My Word, you would have resisted His own. The same way you are disobeying Me, you would have disobeyed him. The same way you are planning to kill Me – a Man that did not evil to you, but is only showing you the way of eternal life – the same way, you would have treated Him.
If I am a devil to you, you would have called Him more than that, for you have not changed. I know you. You do not have the love of God in you.
I know you as a generation of vipers, haters of good, despisers of good people and lovers of evil men because your ways are crooked. You love to walk in crooked paths. All your dealings are crooked dealings. You are never straight forward in your thinking. Neither are you in your behaviour.
So, whatever is your attitude towards the Word of God revealed in your day in human form, that would have been your behaviour if you had appeared that time, for if they had believed Moses or taken His words seriously, believing Me would have been very very easy for them.
Remember, you are the continuation of your fathers. You are still the continuation of that generation. This is your own dispensation. The wisdom of God said, “I am sending – I will send to you, Prophets and Apostles. A good number of them, you will kill, imprison, despise and scandalize that the words of the Prophets of old might be fulfilled. You white washed Sepulchres. You kill the Prophets and you bury them and you paint their graves white and declare them Saints.”
Acts 9:22 – 25, KJV. ²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. Saul Escapes from the Jews
²³And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: ²⁴but their laying wait was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. ²⁵Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
Is it not happening again? Christ has appeared again in the end time. Why am I interested in showing you this Scriptures? William Branham was one of the Prophets sent in his own dispensation.
There is no religious group God never sent a Prophet to speak to them in their language, for God does not send a Prophet save in the language of the people because He wants all to be saved.
To the Arabs, He sent Prophet Muhammad Raheem [pbuh], one of them drawn from among the Arabs in their own Arabic language because the Almighty God wants to save them.
The Holy Qur’an; Surah 14:4 – 5, Hilali-Khan Translation. ⁴And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then God misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
⁵And indeed We sent Mûsa (Moses) with Our Ayât (signs, proofs, and evidences) (saying): “Bring out your people from darkness into light, and make them remember the annals of God. Truly, therein are evidences, proofs and signs for every patient, thankful (person).”
If you say you are a Christian, he sends you your own Prophets Who will believe what you believe, only to tell you the truth, for he must be drawn from among you.
Deuteronomy 18:14 – 15, Living Bible. ^[14]The nations you replace all do these evil things, but the Lord your God will not permit you to do such things. ^[15]“Instead, He will raise up for you a prophet like me, an Israeli, a man to whom you must listen and whom you must obey.
Romans 1:2 – 3, Living Bible. ^[2]This Good News was promised long ago by God’s prophets in the Old Testament. ^[3]It is the Good News about his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who came as a human baby, born into King David’s royal family line;
Jesus was born a Jew and lived under the Jewish laws. And He was sent to Israel as their Saviour, drawn from among them and sent back to them to destroy the law and to set it at naught so that the righteousness of God which is by Faith will manifest.
Galatians 4:4 – 7, Living Bible. ^[4]But when the right time came, the time God decided on, he sent his Son, born of a woman, born as a Jew, ^[5]to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law so that he could adopt us as his very own sons.
^[6]And because we are his sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, so now we can rightly speak of God as our dear Father. ^[7]Now we are no longer slaves but God’s own sons. And since we are his sons, everything he has belongs to us, for that is the way God planned.
But they continued in the books, and neglected the Faith which He introduced. So, only those that are of the Faith will be saved with faithful Abraham who was of the Faith.
That is why today, we have two categories of people. [1] People of the Books and [2] People of the Faith.
Once you are of the books, you are of the law. The works of the law must be at work in you. If you are of the Faith, the righteous shall live by Faith. Righteousness shall be imputed upon you by your Faith, the same way it was imputed upon Abraham. Why?
He [Abraham] believed in Him, Who had the power to justify the ungodly. But the other person believed that he can work out his salvation through his own self striving. The demarcation is there.
Galatians 3:6 – 14, KJV. ⁶Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
⁷Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
⁸And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
⁹So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
¹¹But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. ¹²And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
¹³Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
¹⁴that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Romans 4:1 – 5, KJV. ¹What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? ²For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. ³For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
⁴Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. ⁵But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Remember, I am putting you in remembrance. I am rounding off everything in righteousness.
So, I want to read the Scriptures. You know the reason why the Scriptures are still preserved till today, for the Bible contains like any other too many histories, including the administrative history of many lands; land disputes that were settled and family disputes. Too many things are there.
And it was directed to a particular people at a particular time. I cannot use the laws of the Medo-Persians on the people of Israel, for the laws of Israel differ from that of the Medes and Persia.
Neither will I use Egyptian laws on Libya or Sudan or Morocco. These are Africans also. Different countries with different laws, but one people.
He that noticed Egypt and wrote down Egypt, wrote down Sudan and other African countries, equally wrote down Nigeria. Even if You do not see Nigeria, Nigeria is there. But Nigeria is in the Bible. Believe it.
I am not talking about Nigeria. I am talking about Christ and His people. The essence of the Scriptures. Follow Me.
Let us see, whether why we read the Bible is different from the reason why the Bible was compiled.

Have you seen the difference? If you are in the Ministry of the Son of Man, you are in the Spoken Word Ministry. If you are in the ministry of the Apostles, you are in the ministry of the Church. You are in the ministry of the Written Word. Your God is in the written form. You are serving past tense God because, history is written after events. However, a Prophet writes history before events. The son of man writes history before events.

GOD HAS A HIDING PLACE VOL. 1; Preached on Sunday 28th April 2013; Pg. 75 vs. 65

PROGRESSION OF KNOWLEDGE

AND REVELATION

Turns with Me to 2^nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 through 17, Living Bible. ^[16]The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. ^[17]It is God’s way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone.

Amplified version. ¹⁶Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action),
The Message Bible. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. ¹⁷Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.
New International Version. ¹⁶All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
I want to hear from the authorized King James Version. ¹⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: ¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Romans 15:4, Living Bible. ^[4]These things that were written in the Scriptures so long ago are to teach us patience and to encourage us so that we will look forward expectantly to the time when God will conquer sin and death. Amen!
Amplified version. ^{4} For whatever was thus written in former days was written for our instruction, that by [our steadfast and patient] endurance and the encouragement [drawn] from the Scriptures we might hold fast to and cherish hope. Amen!

The Message Bible. ⁵Even if it was written in Scripture long ago, you can be sure it’s written for us. God wants the combination of his steady, constant calling and warm, personal counsel in Scripture to come to characterize us, keeping us alert for whatever he will do next. ⁶May our dependably steady and warmly personal God develop maturity in you so that you get along with each other as well as Jesus gets along with us all. …To instill the character of Jesus in everybody.
King James Version. ⁴For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Sure!
New International Version. ⁴For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
Good News Bible. ⁴Everything written in the Scriptures was written to teach us, in order that we might have hope through the patience and encouragement which the Scriptures give us. Amen!
Be seated. Take it easy with Me. I am not reading any written Book. I am here, believing that He will never permit Me to say anything contrary to the truth.
God cannot lead Me thus far, only for Him to cause Me to deceive your ears and your hearts in this closing hours of the history of the world. Never never never!
But make sure you do not deceive yourselves. Do not ever switch off your microphones. Let them be at work. They are not a disturbance to Me. As long as you do not touch them anyhow, they will not make any noise.
We have seen and we have heard why the Scriptures are there as inspired by Saint Paul, the first Messenger of the first Church Age. Look at it there. The Ephesian Church Age.
Faith – Paul. Look at how broad it is. And we are now across the Holy Spirit level. We are now in the last lap – LOVE – which is the end of all. The only place where the law ceases to operate, because whoever that lives in love has fulfilled the whole laws.
So watch! He has said the essence of these things that were documented in time past. The Bible was written before your forefathers were born. It was not written in your day. It is preserved so that through the ancient writings, you may develop good character. And the best of the characters is the one that will make you to take the Word of God seriously.
I do not care how angelic you may look or behave as a gentle man or gentle woman. As long as your heart is not receptive to the Word of God, helping you to manifest Christ-like character, you are doomed to destruction.
The Bible is to prepare your heart to receive the Word of God whenever it will come to you, for the Word of God must come to every living human being. The Word will come to you through the lips of the Messenger God has sent to you in your own day.
If you have not known the essence of the Scriptures preserved, you will miss it, for you have not prepared your heart. You have not prepared your life. You have not made the crooked paths straight. You have not filled the potholes or the valleys to receive the Messiah.
When John came, he came to prepare the way for the Messiah to come. The Bible is to prepare the way; to prepare the hearts of all so as to receive the engrafted truth whenever it shall be revealed.
William Branham the Prophet said, “Christ will be here on earth in the midst of the Bride in human form, in the last days as He promised. You must go in there, for you to behold Him and to be a part of it. In a population of great people, to identify Him will be very difficult. Only the knowledge of the Scriptures will help anybody to recognize who He is.”
the Signs of His Coming, Preached by Prophet William Marrion Branham on Preached on Saturday, the 7th of April 1962 at the Church Of Faith in Cleveland, Tennessee, U.S.A. verses 107, 110 & 114. “ ¹⁰⁷…A wicked and adulterous generation would receive the sign of the resurrection. Amen…. ¹¹⁰…Now he is going to send sign to this generation just before the burning time…. ¹¹⁴…Elohim”—Elohim, the self-existing one, Elohim in human flesh. What’s it a sign of? Elohim back in the Bride in human flesh again in the last days, doing the same things. THERE IS YOUR SIGN FOR THE LAST DAYS.”
The Scriptures said, “In His first advent, they missed Him because they knew not the Scriptures nor the power of God.”
Mark 12:24, KJV. And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
But they were of the opinion that the Prophets of old must have written concerning His coming – indicated signs of His coming which made Herod to call his wise people and magicians to begin to search the scrolls to know what the Prophets foretold would be the sign of the coming of the Messiah.
While they were searching the scrolls, the Messiah was already in the temple, teaching and they knew it not. If they had searched those Scriptures ahead of time, searched out the signs and believed in the signs like the wise men that were taking care of their flock in the wilderness, they would have known about the fulfilment.
The wise men searched out the signs. They believed the sign. Through the Scriptures, they patiently waited for the fulfilment of the prophecies.
On that day that they saw the great star, they did not go home again to confer with flesh and blood. They followed the star. And the Star led them to the baby on the manger. They proclaimed unanimously, “We have seen the star. We have come to worship the King.”
And they gave their offerings of Gold, of Frankincense and Myrrh.
If you prepare your hearts with the knowledge of the Scriptures, you will be on the watch out for the fulfilment. But where you are ignorant, even if it fulfills before your eyes and your nose, you will bypass it. You will place it for another generation.
How people miss God in all the Ages. They believe that God will do that thing but not that day. They believe He did it in time past. They believe He will do something in the future. But the one He is doing now, they will bypass it.
Why? They know not the Scriptures. So the prophet knew the importance and said, “My people perish because of ignorance.”
Hosea 4:6, KJV. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Ignorance – a self-inflicted injury. A deliberate misfortune, because when you decide to be ignorant, you will be ignorant.
When Saint Paul explained about the tradition and custom of all the churches in Asia minor, and people were contending about women’s adornment ad things like that, He made a proclamation, “If any is contending, let him continue to contend and claim to be ignorant., but in the churches of Christ worldwide, we have no other custom than this.”
So, if you want to be ignorant, remain ignorant. If you want to be contentious, remain contentious. It cannot add nor subtract from the truth.
If you want to get this information accurate, you go to the Message titled, THE IDENTIFIED CHRIST OF ALL THE AGES preached by William Branham in Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA. Then Christ is identified by His characteristics. You will see many of them there.
This morning, follow Me. We have seen the Bible – the holy Scriptures according to Saint Paul in his own day.
Always have it at the back of your mind that a greater than Saint Paul is here. He [Paul] was one of the seven candle sticks.
And there was a progression of knowledge and a progression of revelation.
So the second age messenger did not have to look back to Paul. I mean, Irenaeus [Virtue] Smyrna did not have to look back to Ephesus. Pergamos did not have to look back to Smyrna. Did you get the Message?
I am saying that Irenaeus did not have to look back to Paul. Martin did not have to look back to Irenaeus. Columba did not have to look back to Martin. Luther did not have to look back to Columba. Wesley did not have to look back to Luther. Branham did not have to look back to Wesley.
They were too far away from each other, like Pentecost is far away from you. But do you believe that people are still celebrating Pentecost today? Some give it undue observance. Pentecost week.
I do not know what Pentecost week signifies or what it is all about. All those rituals have gone too far away from where you are. They are no longer for you.
It is just like the Bible said, “These laws of Moses and the Jews and so on are no longer for us who Christ has saved, justified, sanctified, declared discharged and acquitted.”
They are no longer for us, for He has shown us the possible way to Heaven, thereby taking us away from the impossible road where all of us were heading and admiring because it favours the wicked. It favours the wicked.
Now, the Scripture was God-breathed, God-inspired, profitable for teaching, for doctrine, for reproof and correction in righteousness so that you – child of God – will be properly equipped for every good work and not dirty works.
When you are holy, sanctified and clean in the heart, it is only then that your eye will open to recognize the Messiah.
When the eyes of Bartimeus was opened, he recognized the Messiah. When Saint Paul’s eyes opened on the way to Damascus. But until then, the Messiah was hidden from Him. He was having eyes, moving about, killing people and contending. Yet he was blind from recognizing the Messiah
John 9:32 – 38, NIV. ³²Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. ³³If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” ³⁴To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.
³⁵Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” ³⁶“Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.” ³⁷Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.” ³⁸Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
Acts 9:17 – 19, Amplified version. ¹⁷So Ananias left and went into the house. And he laid his hands on Saul and said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, Who appeared to you along the way by which you came here, has sent me that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸And instantly something like scales fell from [Saul’s] eyes, and he recovered his sight. Then he arose and was baptized,
Whosoever that does not recognize the Messiah of his day is still blind till this very hour. And the blindness of his heart and of his eyes will keep him in bondage to sin.
That is why Jesus met those people. They saw Him and they knew Him, but they did not know Him as Messiah. They did not see Him as Messiah.
He said, “Because you do not believe that I am He, you must perish in your sin. Your sin abideth in you. If you had claimed you were blind; if you had acknowledged you were blind, I would have opened your eyes.”
John 8:24, Amplified version. ²⁴That is why I told you that you will die in (under the curse of) your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He [Whom I claim to be–if you do not adhere to, trust in, and rely on Me], you will die in your sins.
That was what happened to Saint Paul. He said, “When my eyes got opened on the way to Damascus, scales fell out of my eyes that I was persecuting the truth. That I did in ignorance while pursuing and prosecuting the laws of Israel thinking they were right.”
And the LORD sent him straight away to Saudi Arabia where he stayed, ministering without conferring with flesh and blood for three good years.
Galatians 1:15 – 18, KJV. ¹⁵But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, ¹⁶to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: ¹⁷neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. ¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
And people were happy that he was restored and reconciled to God by believing Faith, and no longer continuing with the books. Then the faith which Abraham introduced, he beheld it again.
That was why he spent the rest of his time studying to find out how God puts people right with Himself.
When you study, you show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed but rightly dividing the Word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15, KJV. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Saint Paul gave himself over to studies and to prayers. Then he discovered the way God puts people right with Himself – that it is only by Faith, not by works; not by your mechanical obedience to the laws.
Then he came to understand clearly what the LORD Jesus told the woman of Samaria that the time of this mechanical worship is over. This is the time when people that really want to worship God will worship Him in spirit and in truth, no longer mechanically by observing set of rules and regulations made by human being, even the laws for the effective administration of Israel is incorporated into a way of life of the Gentiles. Can you imagine? To God be the glory.
Have you seen it? The reason why the Scriptures are there for you. The Name of God is the Word of God.

What is lifted up in your midst is His Word. What He preserved in our midst from the beginning is His Word. What He preserved in our midst that we may not perish is His Word. What is the unfailing Sign He gave to us? His Word. I am the Word. In Me, you are sanctified, for you are sanctified by the Word which I have spoken to you, if you believe. In Me dwelleth the Shewbread which you feed on. …….

-THE SON OF MAN

I AM THE WORD VOL 2; Preached on Sunday 19^th January 2014; Pg. 105 vs. 24 – 25

Eternal life is in a man [1]

2 Timothy 3:16, KJV. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Living Bible. ^[16]The whole Bible… That is what forms the whole Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation
The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; Amen! …it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. It helps you to do what is right.
^[17]It is God’s way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone.
Now, I take you further. Follow Me gradually. Saint John’s Gospel chapter 5 from verse thirty-eight through forty-two.
John 5:36 – 42, Living Bible. ^[36]but I have a greater witness than John. I refer to the miracles I do; these have been assigned me by the Father, and they prove that the Father has sent me. ^[37]And the Father himself has also testified about me, [Sure!] though not appearing to you personally, or speaking to you directly.
^[38]But you are not listening to him, for you refuse to believe me—the one sent to you with God’s message. You refuse to believe in Him – the One sent to you – because the Father is not speaking to you directly. You want God to talk to you directly so that you will believe.
That was what the Jews attempted. When God said, “Bring them before Me that they, might hear My Voice.”
The LORD spake and they closed their ears and ran away, telling Moses to begin to hear from God and then tell them. And that all that the LORD will speak to them through Moses, they will obey.
Exodus 19:16 – 17 & 20:18 – 19, ^[16]On the morning of the third day there was a terrific thunder and lightning storm, and a huge cloud came down upon the mountain, and there was a long, loud blast as from a ram’s horn; and all the people trembled. ^[17]Moses led them out from the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. ^[18]All Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because Jehovah descended upon it in the form of fire; the smoke billowed into the sky as from a furnace, and the whole mountain shook with a violent earthquake. ^[19]As the trumpet blast grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God thundered his reply. …….
^[18]All the people saw the lightning and the smoke billowing from the mountain, and heard the thunder and the long, frightening trumpet blast; and they stood at a distance, shaking with fear. ^[19]They said to Moses, “You tell us what God says and we will obey, but don’t let God speak directly to us, or it will kill us.”
The LORD does not do anything without having appointed Vessel He will use. This is what is destroying many of you. “Were you there when God spoke to Brother? Were you there? If God is the one let Him minister to me first. Why must it be Him alone?”
Was it not what happened in the wilderness?
Numbers 16:1 – 3, Living Bible. ^[1]One day Korah (son of Izhar, grandson of Kohath, and a descendant of Levi) conspired with Dathan and Abiram (the sons of Eliab) and On (the son of Peleth), all three from the tribe of Reuben,
^[2]to incite a rebellion against Moses. Two hundred and fifty popular leaders, all members of the Assembly, were involved.
^[3]They went to Moses and Aaron and said, “We have had enough of your presumption; you are no better than anyone else; everyone in Israel has been chosen of the Lord, and he is with all of us. What right do you have to put yourselves forward, claiming that we must obey you, and acting as though you were greater than anyone else among all these people of the Lord?”

That was what nearly destroyed Apostle Kelechi at the beginning of the Ministry. He said, “I will not believe. If God is the One, let Him do something to me which I, Brother Kelechi Uwakwe, alone knows – nobody knows about it. Let it be something that relates to my own life experience.”
And the LORD answered Him. The LORD did as he spoke in his heart. He did not speak with his mouth. He never told any human being. He made it a silent prayer in his quiet place.
But the LORD answered him openly at the bank of the River Niger while we went for baptism, revealing all he said after which, God opened up on the way he has been living his life fraudulently and immorally.
The LORD told him one particular incident which nobody ever knew except him and the person. He fainted. At the end, God excommunicated him for trying his patience. He remained outside for months while purging himself.
Why were they not believing the LORD Jesus who was sent to them? Every man and woman wanted God to be speaking to him or her personally and directly, which is not the way God speaks to people.
“Until He speaks to me, I will not believe.” Do not worry. One day, you will believe. He will speak to you and you will not see His face again. and that may be your condemnation where He will appear to you. And then, one word from Him, that is the end of your life. You will never live to tell people what you experienced.
“If God does not talk to me, I will not believe.” It never started with you. So, whatever you are manifesting, somebody manifested it before.
That is why all things that were written afore-time, they are written for our learning. What do you learn from this? What do you learn from this experience?
John 5:36 – 42, Living Bible. ^[36]but I have a greater witness than John. I refer to the miracles I do; these have been assigned me by the Father,…
Like THE SON OF MAN today has a greater witness than all the Prophets and Apostles of old, displayed before every human being living here in this generation.
No one born of a woman has ever displayed any of these supernatural attributes of the Deity, brought them into existence amidst witnesses, backed up by audible Voices that never failed.
. ^[36]but I have a greater witness than John. I refer to the miracles I do; these have been assigned me by the Father, and they prove that the Father has sent me. ^[37]And the Father himself has also testified about me, though not appearing to you personally, or speaking to you directly.
^[38]But you are not listening to him, for you refuse to believe me—the one sent to you with God’s message.
^[39]“You search the Scriptures, for you believe they give you eternal life. And the Scriptures point to me! ^[40]Yet you won’t come to me so that I can give you this life eternal! Sure!!!
You refuse to come to Me! If it is in the Scriptures, you would have gotten it. If eternal life were in the Scriptures, through going to Bible colleges. All these bishops and archbishops, popes and general superintendent would have gotten it.
Why do you carry the Bible about? What do you want to get from the Bible? Remember I have showed you the essence of the Scriptures.
Now look at it. What people have in mind while searching the Scripture run contrary to the real purpose of compiling and preserving the Bible.
Till this day, men and women have been dying, having sleepless night, doing fasting and prayers, going to Bible institutions to learn and study theology – Bible, Qur’an and so on – thinking that from the Bible, they will get eternal life.
But this eternal life is in Somebody – He Who is immortal, Who dwelleth in the sun where no man approaches. In Him is immortality. He Conferred this power – this authority – to only one man to give to people.
And then He sent that person. The people He is sent to refused to believe Him, refused to acknowledge Him. Whatever he says, they will say, “Yes! We have heard you, but let God speak to us.”
The likes of Bright. Even if the Almighty will come and speak to you as small as you are, you will not believe. That is why when you are reading the Bible, you stay awake, but when somebody else begins to read, you sleep because you believe you are the authorized reader.
It is a dangerous spirit. I call it Ngwa spirit. Aba spirit.
^[38]But you are not listening to him, for you refuse to believe me—the one sent to you with God’s message.
This is because the One Whom God sends speaks the Word of God, for the Spirit of Christ is in Him without measure. Why? In Him alone dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
But you are not paying attention. Rather, you are challenging, “If God is the One doing it, let Him come and convince me. Let Him come and talk to me. Is He afraid of me? Let Him come and tell me. As long as God has not spoken to me personally, I will not accept it.” Do not worry. He will talk to you.
^[39]“You search the Scriptures, for you believe they give you eternal life. And the Scriptures point to me!
^[40]Yet you won’t come to me so that I can give you this life eternal! ^[41-42]“Your approval or disapproval means nothing to me,… Saith the LORD Jesus Christ.
Your belief or unbelief; your acceptance or rejection means nothing to Me, for I am what I am. Your praise, your worship and your adoration do not exalt Christ one bit. He is what He is. Refuse to worship Him, it does not change Him. Bow down and worship Him, it does not make Him another God. Then, are you not wasting your time?
So, whatever you are doing, you are doing it against yourself. You are counting yourself unworthy of everlasting life because you do not know the value.
You are erring, claiming to be ignorant because you have the opportunity to know the Scriptures. They are there preserved. If you had known these truths written aforetime, before now, you would have prepared your heart for the coming Messiah Who will come your way in human form and the only Voice that will talk to you.
^[41-42]“Your approval or disapproval means nothing to me, for as I know so well, you don’t have God’s love within you.
I know so well that you do not have the love of God in your heart. You hate God. You equally hate the truth. You equally hate yourself.
If you love God, you love the truth, for Christ is the Truth; He is the Way; He is the Life. If you love God, you would have believed in Him. His Word would have been effective in your heart.
But because you hate God, you hate His Word. You do not know that He is nothing but His Word. Christ and His Word are one. In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God. The Word was God. The Word became flesh – a human being and lived among us, and is still living among us.
I am laying a foundation for a Message. If you faint when I am laying the foundation, when the building will be erected, you will be in the mortuary. You will not be in the bed but in the mortuary. Amen.

Every Seed of God takes side with the Word. And I am the Word. In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God. And the Word was God. The Word has become a Human Being and dwelled among us – the Word made flesh.

-THE SON OF MAN

I AM THE WORD EXPLAINED VOL 1; Preached on Sunday 27 April 2014; Pg. 116 vs. 64

Eternal life is in a man [2]

John 5:34 – 44, Message Bible. ³⁴“But My purpose is not to get your vote,… No! I am not seeking approval from any man. I am not seeking your vote. “Vote for Me!” No! I am not a politician.

…and not to appeal to mere human testimony. No! I do not want human commendation. If I wanted it, I would not be in your midst. Even if I am in your midst, I would not be speaking the truth to you. I would have been dancing to your tune so that you applaud Me.
I’m speaking to you this way so that you will be saved. Yes! John was a torch, blazing and bright, and you were glad enough to dance for an hour or so in his bright light.
But the witness that really confirms me far exceeds John’s witness. Sure!!! For John was an earthly Messenger and spoke about earthly things. But a Heavenly Messenger came with a Heavenly Message to prepare a people that are Heavenly bound. Earthly-bound people must say No because it can never sink well with them.
But the witness that really confirms me far exceeds John’s witness. Like the witness that confirmed THE SON OF MAN far exceeds that of all the Messengers of the Seven Church Ages put together, not even William Branham who had just a little of the Halo as a sign that God sent Him and ordained Him a Prophet.
But he said, “One is coming after me. And this thing you see is just a little measure. He will have it in full measure. The Cloud will encircle Him in the form of a Rainbow. That is the Elohim in human form. The Deity is in Him. Look away from the human flesh. Look away from his simplicity. Believe Him.”
Every rock is a Fountain of water. Every bush is fire. Every cloud is the one that leads to God – Archeological Parchments and Talmuds of the Sanhedrins. The scroll documented by no less a personality than the High priest Caiaphas.
Archeological Writings of the Sanhedrins and the Talmuds of the Jews [Taken from the ancient parchments and scrolls at Constantinople and the Vatican at Rome] – Chapter 5: Gamaliel’s interview with Joseph and Mary, and others concerning Jesus [The hagiographa or holy writings, found in the St. Sophia mosque at Constantinople, made by Gamaliel, in the talmuds of the Jews, 27 B.]
“… Another plan He has of setting men right with the laws of nature: He turns nature into a great law book of illustrations, showing that every bush was a flame, every rock a fountain of water, every star a pillar of fire, and every cloud the one that leads to God. …”
But the witness that really confirms me far exceeds John’s witness. It’s the work the Father gave me to complete. These very tasks, as I go about completing them, confirm that the Father, in fact, sent Me. Sure!!!
I am here for full and complete salvation for those that have been eagerly and patiently waiting for it.
The Father who sent me, confirmed Me. And you missed it. Why? By not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. When they were calling Him devil, He said “Yes! I know why. You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.”
You see why the Scriptures will help you in identifying Him – THE IDENTIFIED CHRIST OF ALL THE AGES, for He is the same yesterday, today and forever. All those things that were documented are there for our learning. What did we learn?
Ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of truth because you do not have the love of God in your heart. You are always resisting the truth. Even when God is standing before you, pointing at you, you are never afraid, simply because He has not killed you.
You never heard His Voice, you never saw His appearance. Never! There is nothing left in your memory of His Message because you do not take His Messenger seriously. Sure!!!
³⁹“You have your heads in your Bibles constantly because you think you’ll find eternal life there. But you miss the forest for the trees. These Scriptures are all about me! And here I am, standing right before you,…
Here I am standing right before you this hour. I am not far away from you again. If you have seen Me, you have seen My Father, for in Me is the Father revealed.
And here I am, standing right before you,… The same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8. Jesus Christ – the same yesterday, today and forever. He is the LORD. He does not change. For that reason, all the children of Jacob can never be consumed. [Malachi 3:6]
And here I am, standing right before you, and you aren’t willing to receive from me the life you say you want.
⁴¹“I’m not interested in crowd approval. Sure!!! And do you know why? Because I know you and your crowds. You are always in the majority. You do not have the love of God.
I know that love, especially God’s love, is not on your working agenda. Sure!!! How can you tell me that you want eternal life, and you are not ready to listen to the Word of God that you may know what to do to have it? Are you not paying cosmetic approach to it, deceiving yourself?
Why? You do not even know the meaning of eternal life. You do not even know the gains of eternal life. You want to enjoy this present life. God has assigned it to you to enjoy. You will enjoy it fully.
If what we are passing through now means enjoyment of the world, I mean – whoever that desires it is the greatest fool. If living in fear; living in bondage; living with poverty and living without employment is what it takes to enjoy life, I want to go to the grave and join My wife there.
It is better. If this life we are seeing and are passing through is all it takes to enjoy life, what do you think you can get even in your disposition?
Tell me what you think you can achieve from now, when you are not even sure of getting qualitative education again. You are not even sure of securing a place in a nation that is called your own.
You do not even have a place in your home town. You have nothing to boast of. And the future is very bleak. Those who travelled abroad are coming back. Those who are here are dying. Tell Me what you are likely to enjoy.
I know that love, especially God’s love, is not on your working agenda. Yes!!!
It is not in their programme – too many human beings – man and woman. That is why God has decided to make you understand that you are unique.
Your children are unique individuals. Though you may have them 5-in-1 or 20-in-1, their thumbprints differ one to another. In other words, the man is not accountable to his wife. And the wife is not accountable before God. All of you have your different thumbprints.
All your children whom you say are yours; If they are yours, they must have the same thumbprint with you. but theirs differ from your own. How do you then lay claim over them?
God is going to hold you accountable for your own self-deceit and also for deceiving others. This is because, one that is already deceiving himself will be an expert in deceiving people around him, fulfilling dangerous Scriptures that in the last days, deceivers and seducers will appear, who will be deceiving themselves and also being deceived; and also they will go ahead deceiving others.
When the Word of God goes forth, they will tell their children not to believe. They will be painting a brighter picture for their children to believe. They will be giving their children the impression that better days lie ahead, here on earth.
Even when everybody is running helter-skelter, they will be painting a rosy picture of tomorrow before their children, telling them never to take the Word of God seriously, that it will make them to be poor and that it will make them to be this and that, “Do not listen to them.” They are plenty.
If fathers and mothers do not spoil their children, nobody will spoil them again. parents have been known for being the first spoilers of their chIldren, only to turn round to blame it on the society and also on their destinies.
but god knows everything about you and about me he knows the efforts you are making in spoiling your children by diverting their attention away from God.
He knows that parents are striVing night and day to make sure their children do not serve god because they themselves do not serve god.
You might be surprised at hearing this. Forget about the picture you see them displaying before our eyes. They are fake. Counterfeit pictures. Counterfeit presentations.
What they are in appearance is not what they are at home. It is not what they are inwardly. They put up friendly, lovely appearances outside, but down home, they are enemies, one to another.
The same way, they put on innocent faces before everybody, but deep in their hearts, they are murderers and thieves.
They are wicked people. The most wicked being those that hear the truth, set the truth aside and continue in evil. Wicked people push the Word of God away from themselves. It does not concern them. It is for you! This is because they have made up their minds to perish.
That is why, to identify them is very easy. They run away from those that live godly. They can hardly mingle with any of the godly children.
Note it, for their parents will equally warn them never to mingle with such people. And in the end, they are looking for eternal life o. When they come to Me, “Daddy! Son of man!”
God knows all of you. He knows your doings. He knows how you are striving hard to harden the hearts of your children against the truth. He knows you will regret, for those you deceived have not seen the light of the day. And the ones you are going to deceive will equally not see it.
Such people lay greater emphases on material things rather than spiritual things. I KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE LOVE OF GOD IN YOUR PERSONAL AGENDA. in your personal programme, god is decreed ouT.
I know that love, especially God’s love, is not on your working agenda. I came with the authority of my Father, [Sure!!!] and you either dismiss me or avoid me.
And so you do what? You either dismiss Me or you avoid Me if you can. And so they have been doing.
And anybody who is living in the dark, who does not want his evil to be made manifest runs away from the light.
Light has come into the world. People run away from walking in the light, and prefer walking in the dark, for their ways are evil. you either do what? dismiss me or avoid me if you can.
but i have become a devil NO ONE CAN avoid. you miss me in life, you meet me at death. whether you are going to heaven or you are going to hell, you must see my face. you must recognize me that day. and it will be at a time where you ARe speechless.
Just like someone was speaking recently, “So at last, all these things we have been hearing from THE SON OF MAN have come to pass?”
I said, “So, you did not believe them that time. And because you did not believe, now it has come to pass, you are now believing when it is too late. Your belief now cannot save you.”
Like I warn Ministers, “Stop bringing people in when you have not even occupied your own space. Otherwise, I will be compelled to give them your seats. I have been patient, waiting for you to amend your ways and take your positions. I cannot wait endlessly. At the dying minute, I am allowing every Tom, Dick and Harry in except you who were bid to come; you accepted to come, but up to this dying minute, your seat is still vacant, for I must leave with My compete number.”

The complete number of the Gentiles must come in. Then I will leave. And they are going in every day from all the nations in the world. They are signing in. Those whose tickets have been okayed. They are signing in.
And I am still talking, peradventure those who have not even seen the way of remedying their own can remedy it and join in. Amen!
I AM THE MOST PATIENT, THE MOST UNDERSTANDING, FULL OF LONG-SUFFERING AND THE MOST COMPASSIONATE. I AM THE MOST LOVING AND MOST CARING.
But to you that do not believe in Me, I am the most wicked because what you are expecting from me differs from My Mission to you. I am sent for a Mission which you do not know.
And I have made it clear right from Amazu Oil. If you are following me for material prosperity, better leave Me immediately.
Go out, for I cannot do that. I do not have that power. I was not given the power to make people prosper materially, but if you are following Me because of eternal life, you are rest assured. Be there! Be there!
Your duty is to believe in Me. Do as I will command you to do. Wherever I am, there you will be because I am a foreigner and I am going back to where I came from.
And while I am going, those that believed in Me will follow Me, for I am sent to come and gather you home – to bring you home, for you do not know where you are heading to.
Even if I leave you this morning, you do not know where Paradise is. You do not know where Heaven is. It takes One Who prepared it. And after preparing it, He came back to take you to Himself.
And this He did by convincing you with His Word and with the supernatural attributes of His Deity. Then you believed that He is the One. True or false?
I came with the authority of my FatheR, and you either dismiss me or avoid me. If another came, acting self-important, you would welcome him with open arms. Sure!!!
How do you expect to get anywhere with God when you spend all your time jockeying for position with each other, ranking your rivals and ignoring God? Sure!!!
Competition everywhere. Sophistication and competition everywhere! Everybody is competing with his neighbour and competing with one man or one woman in every aspect of human life.
And when they come to God, they come jokingly. They come mocking, they come scoffing. Nominal worshippers! And they have manifested fully when God said, “Go Home! Go Home!”
Do not worry. You will know that He knows where you are dwelling. And He knows all you have been saying in your hearts.
Always have it there. All that were written in the Scriptures aforetime were written for our learning and for our admonition that we should not pattern after evil. Having prepared our hearts using the Holy Scriptures, we are now in readiness to act rightly and to be in right standing with God.
But those who made no preparation, they are taken unawares. They do not know where to place their legs and their hands. They are following for following sake.

when you know the Source of the Spoken Word, that the Source of Spoken Word is the Message of God sent to you in your day, happy are you. That He has become a human being, living among you, married with children, is not deviating from the order; It has been God’s way from the beginning.

-THE SON OF MAN

NOW I KNOW THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD; Teaching on Sunday 28^th February, 1999; Pg. 178 vs. 14

Eternal life is in a man [3]

I want to also read it in Igbo Bible, especially verse 38 and 39. Get it from your android handsets if you do not have the Igbo Bible.

John 5:36 – 42, New International translation. ³⁶“I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish —the very works that I am doing —testify that the Father has sent Me.
³⁷And the Father who sent Me has himself testified concerning Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form, ³⁸nor does His Word dwell in you, for you do not believe the One He sent.
³⁹You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about Me, ⁴⁰yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
⁴¹“I do not accept glory from human beings, ⁴²but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.
⁴³I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
John 5:36 – 42, Amplified version. ³⁶But I have as My witness something greater (weightier, higher, better) than that of John; for the works that the Father has appointed Me to accomplish and finish, the very same works that I am now doing, are a witness and proof that the Father has sent Me.Sure!!!
³⁷And the Father Who sent Me has Himself testified concerning Me. Not one of you has ever given ear to His voice… Sure!!!
Thus it behooveth THE SON OF MAN to fulfill all righteousness. I HAVE ANOINTED YOU WITH MY SPIRIT. I HAVE ANOINTED YOU WITH MY UNCTION. SPEAK MY WORD, FOR IT IS MY POWER AMONG MY PEOPLE.
Not one of you has ever given ear to His voice or seen His form (His face–what He is like). [You have always been deaf to His voice… You are still deaf to His Word. You have equally hardened your heart against His Word.
[You have always been deaf to His voice and blind to the vision of Him.] You are blind from recognizing Who He is.
³⁸And you have not His word (His thought) living in your hearts,… Never for one day.
You never allowed His Words or thoughts about Him to abide in your heart because you are always on the opposing side. You wait until God will come and talk to you personally. Only then will you believe. Even if He does, will you?
because you do not believe and adhere to and trust in and rely on Him Whom He has sent. [That is why you do not keep His message living in you, because you do not believe in the Messenger Whom He has sent.]
When they asked Jesus Christ this question, “What must we do that we may do the works of God?” What was the answer? He said, “Believe in Him; confide in Him; rely and depend on Him; trust in Him Whom He has sent, for this is the only way you can fulfill the demands of God.”
³⁹You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me!
⁴⁰And still you are not willing [but refuse] to come to Me, so that you might have life. ⁴¹I receive not glory from men [I crave no human honor, I look for no mortal fame], ⁴²But I know you and recognize and understand that you have not the love of God in you.
⁴³I have come in My Father’s name and with His power, and you do not receive Me [your hearts are not open to Me, you give Me no welcome]; but if another comes in his own name and his own power and with no other authority but himself, you will receive him and give him your approval.
⁴⁴How is it possible for you to believe [how can you learn to believe], you who [are content to seek and] receive praise and honor and glory from one another, and yet do not seek the praise and honor and glory which come from Him Who alone is God?
Everybody is seeking men’s approval and commendation instead of God’s Who alone is God.
I want you to see that we are not following cunningly devised fables. When we are talking because we are sure and certain.
Anybody who is carrying this Bible in your own day, and He claims that he is carrying this Bible for any other reason than eternal life, tell him that he is a liar. He is a liar.
They have come to the point where they lift up the Bible and say, “My Bible tells me this. A long as I am holding this Bible, I am in Heaven.”
Some have even said what is not written in the Bible like Deeper life members. They will quote John 9:39 and deceptively read thus, “Search the Scriptures, for in them you have eternal life.” That is the devil. They removed “you think.” That “think” is removed.
The same thing the devil did in the Garden of Eden. Cunningly asked, “Did God say any day you eat of this fruit, you will die?” The devil said, “Do not mind him. You will NOT die.” He added “N-O-T” and altered the meaning.
The same way, Kumuyi William removed “think” [from John 9:39], and then joined the Bible together.
That is why, anywhere you go and in any church, and the preacher begins to read disjointed Messages from the Bible, run away.
He will tell you “John chapter one verse “1a.” You cannot see verse “1a” in the Bible. He will cut half of it. he will join it with “John 16:1b”. It is not there.
I was in a fellowship one day with them, and then a preacher said, “The LORD Jesus told Judas. “That which you want to do, go and do it quickly.”” He said, “Okay! Hold it there! Hold it there! Now, let me show you, come down. Look at this verse 13b, “And Judas hanged himself.””
If you join them together, it will mean that Jesus commanded Judas to go and hang himself.
The same way, when they want to extort money from their members, they read disjointed Scriptures. And people will be shaking and shivering. They put them under condemnation. And to exploit them becomes very easy.
Lift the Word of God. It is of no private interpretation. The Word of God interprets the Word of God. read it out to the hearing of everybody, and allow anybody who wants to believe to believe. SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE.
2 Peter 1:20, Amplified Version. ²⁰[Yet] first [you must] understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is [a matter] of any personal or private or special interpretation (loosening, solving).
²¹For no prophecy ever originated because some man willed it [to do so–it never came by human impulse], but men spoke from God who were borne along (moved and impelled) by the Holy Spirit.
All these tricks, we know who is behind them. As men of God that stand in the presence of God, knowing we must give account of what we say, what we teach and what we practice, we speak the truth in love. We do not deceive the ears of anybody that they may appreciate or applaud us to be good preachers. No!
Neither do we claim to make friends with them so that they will give us money. Never! Such shoddy deals, we disapprove. All shameful methods, we disapprove because we stand in the presence of God, Who judges our hearts’ deepest motives and Who we must give account to, for we are desiring nothing but one thing from you: that at the end, you might be saved together with the Saints. No more! No less! And that is My greatest reward.
1 Thessalonians 2:4 – 7, Living Bible. ^[4]For we speak as messengers from God, trusted by him to tell the truth; we change his message not one bit to suit the taste of those who hear it; for we serve God alone, who examines our hearts’ deepest thoughts.
^[5]Never once did we try to win you with flattery, as you very well know, and God knows we were not just pretending to be your friends so that you would give us money!
^[6]As for praise, we have never asked for it from you or anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to some honour from you.
In the Holy Qur’an, that is My Supreme achievement – making a sinner a Saint – giving him a place among those that are sanctified by the Faith of God – Faith of Christ. It is a Supreme achievement!
Surah 61:12, Abdullah Yusuf translation. ¹²He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme Achievement.
Surah 48:5, Abdullah Yusuf translation. ⁵That He may admit the men and women who believe, to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye, and remove their ills from them;- and that is, in the sight of Allah, the highest achievement (for man),-
Surah 64:9, Abdullah Yusuf translation. ⁹The Day that He assembles you (all) for a Day of Assembly,- that will be a Day of mutual loss and gain (among you), and those who believe in Allah and work righteousness,- He will remove from them their ills, and He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein forever: that will be the Supreme Achievement.
The Scriptures so far read speak the same thing. Why people carry the Bible. Let us read it in another translation. I want to finish all we have here.
John 5:36 – 42, King James version. ³⁶But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
³⁷And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. ³⁸And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
³⁹Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: … Watch! In all of them, one word is common – THINK. and they are they which testify of me.
⁴⁰And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. ⁴¹I receive not honour from men. ⁴²But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
John 5:36 – 42, Good News Bible. ³⁶But I have a witness on my behalf which is even greater than the witness that John gave: what I do, that is, the deeds my Father gave me to do, these speak on my behalf and show that the Father has sent me.
³⁷And the Father, who sent me, also testifies on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his face, ³⁸and you do not keep his message in your hearts, for you do not believe in the one whom he sent.
³⁹You study the Scriptures, because you think that in them you will find eternal life. And these very Scriptures speak about me! ⁴⁰Yet you are not willing to come to me in order to have life.
⁴¹“I am not looking for human praise. ⁴²But I know what kind of people you are, and I know that you have no love for God in your hearts. Amen!!!
Be seated. Do not mind Me as I am standing. Now, you can see that the reason why people carry the Bible run contrary to the reason why Bible was compiled to the extent that we have come to the point where people believe that the Bible is God Himself. To some people, Bible is referenced as God.
In other words, God can be imported with a container and sold in the markets. Some have even revered it such that they use it to administer oath like the law courts. The law courts know very well that the Bible is not God. “Are you a Christian. Hold the Bible. Say after me. Swear.”
This is because they believe that the Bible has become the representative of the Majesty, and that the Bible possesses powers that will kill anybody that tells lies in the court.
How many has the Bible killed for bearing false witness in the court? Even the judge himself who perverts justice, has he been killed by the Bible or Holy Qur’an?
The Bible is a mere book compiled. A religious book meant for a peculiar people – the Christians that accept it to enable them prepare themselves by living sober and quiet life to receive the truth.
For God must come your way, but you must make the crooked paths straight, fill all the valleys in your life and then wait for the appearing of the LORD.
Preparation is made by anybody who is expecting an August visitor. A visitor you cherish so much tells you that he is coming.
It is just like the president. If he is coming to Anambra State, do we just wake up one morning to receive him at the airport? Preparations must be made. To give him the resounding reception as the president.
God is coming your way with salvation in His wings. And then, reparation is made. You prepare your heart to receive the Word when He comes, for He is a Being.
They did not prepare their hearts. When John came, they rejected him. Some that accepted him later denied him. They did not prepare when Jesus came. And they rejected Him. They did not prepare their hearts when the Prophets came. They rejected all the Prophets.
Not even a Prophet was accepted until he left the scene. A man of God is never accepted as a man of God in his day until when he has come and gone. Then people will begin to rally round. Amen.
I do not want to go there today. Let Me see what I can do to help you. Now, it is evidently clear that what you are looking for in the Bible is not found there. Can anybody say that the Bible deceived him? You are the one that deceived yourself, for what you think is in the Bible is not there. Then, why do you carry it and make it another God?.
If you go to church, everybody is with a copy of the Bible. On the streets, Bible. Men are preaching. Women are preaching. But in the schools and colleges, they call it literature – Bible literature.
