I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY [O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU?] VOLUME 2 Preached ON Sunday, 1st November 2020 AT The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE TEACHING PRIEST
I am always on the Lord’s side. I do not care who you are. I do not care your relationship with Me. Once you do not take side with God, I am against you and God is against you. Every true Seed of God takes side with God. Whether man or woman, you are on the Lord’s side

I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY [1]
Follow me as I am about to introduce the topic. The topic alone is self-explanatory. Pay attention.
Last Sunday, at about this time, I laid a foundation for this Teaching. And I allowed you to play the Message over and over and over and over. True or false? And I believe we have learnt something from there.
Let us go to the Book of Genesis chapter 41. I am taking My text from verse 9 only.
Genesis 41:9 Amplified. 9Then the chief butler said to Pharaoh, I remember my faults today. F-A-U-L-T-S. Not one fault!
The Chief Butler, not ordinary butler, the cup bearer, one he depended on, one he relied on, one he thought was trustworthy, one he reposed great confidence in, but he never knew that the confidence reposed in him was a misplaced one.
The man realized his foolishness and the extent he had wandered away, the extent he has destroyed himself with the thoughts and imaginations of his heart by being a cunning fellow.
Pay attention! He acknowledged his guilt, for the Bible said in the Book of proverbs chapter 28 verse 13, “Whosoever that acknowledges his sin will obtain mercy, but if you cover it up, you will never obtain mercy.”
13He who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes his sins will obtain mercy. [Proverbs 28:13 AMP]
So, when you acknowledge and confess your sin, the LORD will forgive and give you a second chance. Is it not Bible?
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [1 John 1:9 KJV]
[9]But if we confess our sins to Him, He can be depended on to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. And it is perfectly proper for God to do this for us because Christ died to wash away our sins. [1 John 1:9 LB]
The Chief Butler said to Pharaoh, “I have remembered my faults today.” There must be a conversation; an interaction between Pharaoh and the chief butler.
And I believe it was not a one-second interaction. It was a meeting. Pharaoh addressed him starting from the day he came into Pharaoh’s house.
I believe Pharaoh placed his records before him. How he has been faring in the house of the king; how he saw him and all his performances; all the years he sojourned with Pharaoh, to the point that he became the chief butler.
After Pharaoh might have finished talking to him, placing all his records, his cadences, testimonies, [Oh No!] the man could not stand on his feet anymore. He could not lift up his face before the king.
Then he said, “O king! I have seen all my faults today.”
IT IS NOT SEEING YOUR FAULTS TODAY THAT MATTERS, BUT YOUR ABILITY TO REMEDY THEM WILL GRANT YOU PARDON AND DELIVERANCE.
Last Sunday, after x-raying the various ways the devil devised to put us into hell, we saw our faults. How many of us have attempted remedying those faults? Is there any of us who could not see his faults last Sunday?
Even when you went to bed, when you were alone; when you listened to the Message again, even over and over, do you want to tell Me you did not discover your faults?
Anyone who read the Messages, listened to the tape without finding his or her faults, does not belong to God. That person is nothing but a serpent seed. Somebody whose heart has been seared with a hot iron. True or false?
Even from this morning, I started to create Faith using the Words that are coming out of My lips and the Holy Scriptures to prepare you to understand this Teaching.
Whatever that has been buffeting you up about, making your Faith not to be persistent and not to be abiding Faith, I believe you must have seen it. I believe you must have seen it.
That is why I tell you, “There is no magic in translation. There is no miracle. All that will be translated, before that day, they will have their testimonies.”
With their records, they will know that they have been pleasing to the LORD. They have been in right standing. They have never been in opposition. They have never been gullible to all insinuations, gossip, and slander that are associated with those that are on their way to perdition. They have not been contradicting God’s ways. Neither are they misunderstanding and misinterpreting. They have not been using their intellect which throws people far from Reality. Amen.
Look at what this man who is the chief butler said. Do you know who a chief butler is? Do you know the meaning of butler? Get Me the dictionary. Let Me show you what butler means. B-U-T-L-E-R
MEANING OF BUTLER: www.merriam-webster.com: [1] A manservant having charge of wines and liquor.
A wine dresser. A manservant who is in charge of wines and liquor. Is the life of that man not in the hands of that servant?
Like I was telling brother Promise of My experience with the Elders last week, and the person came back last Saturday. The Elders were there two weeks ago and he came to Me, kneeling down to talk.
I said, “My friend, leave My presence. You are a stingy man. Leave My presence immediately. You have never come to Me, for one day, even with a bottle of wine to appreciate. Not even a kolanut. You travel long distances. Is that how you meet with your kings? At your age, do you not know what the Bible said concerning meeting with your rulers?”
Shamelessly, he left. The following week, he came, hiding in the midst of the Elders, being an Elder, not an ordinary fellow. Nobody knew he came with a bottle of wine he wrapped in a water-proof bag that travelled all the way across the River, down here.
It did not break on the way. It did not break in the vehicle and it did not break in the Keke [tricycle]. He sat down and kept it somewhere. Nobody touched it.
I entertained them and when they were about to go, Brethren were watching. I was comfortably seated. Nobody knew that he came with such a thing. May be because I rebuked him, he came and wrapped it in a pack.
What we heard was an explosion. Nobody touched it. He never even lifted it. It had been there, it traveled with him. Explosion took place and everybody was shocked, asking “What happened? What happened?” You were there that day.
I asked, “Brother, you wrapped wine in the water-proof. It is the wine you wrapped.” He could not believe his eyes.
They started blaming him, “You came to present it to Daddy. You did not even present it, and we are about to go. And now when we are about to go, the thing exploded under the seat, exposing you.”
I said, “Well, gentlemen, you came from families. If anybody is going on a very important thing or paying a very important visit carrying a jar or a bottle of wine, and along the way, it breaks, does it signify a good thing.” Everybody said, “No! It is a bad omen.” I said, “Brother, go and pray.”
Yesterday, he repeated, but this time around, he came without wine. Within Me, I said, “That one was not meant for Me.” Pay attention everybody!
Note the topic. I said it is self-explanatory. I gave you the Message titled, MIRROR. Let us mirror ourselves and know what we are. Let us place ourselves on God’s own plumb line; measuring rod. God’s own scale.
Remember the Message, “MENE MENE TEKEL ORPHASIN.” God said, “O ye king Nebuchadnezzar, I have weighed you in the balance using My Word and you have weighed nothing.” You did not measure up to the minimum standard. Yet, you are the king all over the earth.
I want all of us to face the reality right now. The time for imaginations are over. Time for feelings, over. Time for intellect, over.
This is the time for faith, for the righteous shall live by Faith; justified also by Faith; translated by Faith. And without Faith, it is impossible to please God.
A time to abide in the faith that is persistent by doing that which iS pleasing to God, be in right standing, in right living, in right relationship, in right companionship with God.and it cometh by paying attention to what he is telling you now.
After that discussion between that chief cup bearer and the king [Pharaoh], let us see more from the meaning of the word, BUTLER.
MEANING OF BUTLER continues: www.merriam-webster.com: [2] The chief male servant of a household who has charge of other employees, receives guests, directs the serving of meals, and performs various personal services;
He performs various personal services for the king. The closest person to the king apart from his wife. The king’s wife has entrusted great confidence in that servant. The master, the same thing. And look at the man failing. Look at the man misbehaving.
This is the man in whose hands, all the keys to the house is entrusted in the absence of the master and his wife.
He knows where the food is kept. The soup pot is in his charge. The same with the pot of rice or the pot of stew and drinking water. He makes the king’s tea. He serves the king and the king drinks from there. He makes the king’s pap.
He peels the oranges the king licks. He is responsible for blending the king’s fruit juice. Whether he washed his hands or not, whatever he serves, the king eats. Is this not trust?
The king has trusted him to that point. The only thing the king never gave him was his wife. Is there any other thing?
Oftentimes, servants marry the daughters of their masters. True or false? A faithful servant can even be blessed by the master by handing over the hand of his precious daughter to that servant for marriage, sponsor it and help it to succeed. True or false?
I want you to see that you must be a faithful servant; a butler, not ordinary butler but a chief butler in charge of all just like Chuza, the husband of Joanna according to Saint Luke’s Gospel chapter 8.
Chuza was Herod’s business manager. Chief Steward, not ordinary fellow.
[3]Joanna, Chuza’s wife (Chuza was King Herod’s business manager and was in charge of his palace and domestic affairs), Susanna, and many others who were contributing from their private means to the support of Jesus and his disciples. [Luke 8:3 LB]
Can you imagine that the king has trusted this man so much that the king does not believe that his butler could disappoint his expectation or fail him.
He began to misbehave and began to do things recklessly. The king started losing confidence in him.
The King summoned him because it was necessary that I must talk to him. Even if I am sending him out of My house, I will tell him all that he has been doing all these years.
I will begin with the way he was faring, for which cause I promoted him to that position to be in charge of all that I have.
I am likening Myself to that butler. I do not know about you. THE SON OF MAN is likening Himself before the Almighty as that butler, Whom the LORD has entrusted with the totality of all that belong to God into His hands to control and administer, including human beings, animals, plants.
Hear Me very well. There must be account of stewardship. Every steward must give account of his stewardship before God, no matter how lowly or highly placed.
THERE IS NO STATUS YOU WILL HAVE IN THE HOUSE OF A KING THAT WILL EXCLUDE YOU FROM GIVING ACCOUNT OF YOUR STEWARDSHIP BEFORE GOD.
AND GOD IS THE RIGHTEOUS ONE. HE CAN NEVER ACCUSE YOU FALSELY. NEITHER WILL HE TELL LIES AGAINST YOU OR ERR IN JUDGMENT OR ASSESSMENT.
Then the butler was brought before the king. He placed the records of the young man before him, at the end of which He closed his mouth.
The young man knelt down. He could not lift up his eyes again. And then, he said, “O KING, I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY.”
Was there any argument between him and the king? Was there any defense? There was none, for He has no defense. Was there any excuse?
But in our own day, who can be like that man. Is there any of us God has not entrusted some measure of confidence in him and in his ability in doing that thing? At the end, we fail God.
No matter how small it will be, we will fail God. No matter how big, we will fail God. Why are our lives full of disappointments?
We liken ourselves to that fig tree the Lord expected to have good fruits He would eat as food, but when he got to the fig tree, He discovered that there was no single fruit in it. Was He happy?
He placed a curse upon that tree. And that was the end of the tree. No man ate of that tree again, even till today. I have seen my faults today. Now, let us go to the Scriptures proper.
Anybody that is a child of God from the very beginning till today and has been listening to the Words of THE SON OF MAN, has attained a height, has inculcated a culture, habit, tradition that can never never be influenced away from him or her, no matter where he or she finds him or herself.

I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY [2]
Follow Me to the Book of Daniel chapter 6 from verse 3 through 4. Any translation of the Bible is Ok for Me.
Remember I am handling a Teaching. Am I making sense? And the title of My Teaching is, I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY. O man, where are you? O woman, where are you? After bla bla bla, I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY.
IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN YOUR FAULTS FROM THE LIGHT OF THE REVELATION OF THE TRUTH OF CHRIST, IT THEN MEANS YOU ARE FAULTLESS OR YOU ARE SERPENT SEED.
I will answer the question, “O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU” towards the end if it requires an answer. I will give you the right answer to that question. Pray for Me while I pray for you that THE SON OF MAN will remain strong so that He will help you serve God rightly.
17Let Thy hand be upon The Man of Thy right hand, upon the son of man whom Thou madest strong for Thyself. 18So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. [Psalms 80:17 – 18 KJV]
Since this man saw his faults, if he folds his arms, will the faults correct themselves? He MUST do something. He MUST reposition himself. He MUST have a rethink. Is that not true?
He will cast his mind back and begin to see the wonderful Fellowship he was having with the Master before.
And he will now trace it to the point where that sweet Fellowship was severed; like Adam and Eve who were having that wonderful Fellowship until one day, they listened to the voice of a stranger.
And the resultant effect was that Fellowship was broken. Companionship broken. Then, the attendant punishment follows. An unending punishment. Amen.
Daniel 6:3 – 4 Amplified version. 3Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps… Daniel was what? Distinguished. He became an extraordinary fellow; an outstanding fellow.
…because an excellent spirit was in him,… An excellent spirit was found in Daniel. His character was satisfactory.
…and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. 4Then the presidents and satraps sought to find occasion [to bring accusation] against Daniel…
Watch! The moment your character is satisfactory, approved of God to be right, you are commended by God. All those who were envious of that commendation, [Oh no!] gathered themselves together to bring false accusation against the man who had already been adjudged righteous, holy innocent, perfect, satisfactory. Did you get the Message?
Then, you will notice that the king will rebuff, resent and reject that silly accusation.
When you are in right standing with God, no matter who will come accusing you before God, the Almighty will be your defense. He will say to him [your accuser], “Get away from Me. I reject your accusation. It is not the way you think about him. It is not the way you are feeling about him. It is not the way you are imagining about him, for I know him more than you. I know his motive. I know what he has been all these years. You are misunderstanding him. You are giving whatever you are seeing a wrong interpretation which breeds suspicion.”
WRONG INTERPRETATION BREEDS SUSPICION. SUSPICION BREEDS HATE. AMEN.
4Then the presidents and satraps sought to find occasion [to bring accusation] against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no occasion or fault, FOR HE WAS FAITHFUL, NOR WAS THERE ANY ERROR OR FAULT FOUND IN HIM.
Was he a human being? I ask, was he a human being? Brethren, answer Me this question. Was Daniel a human being? [The Brethren echoed, “Yes sir!”] Was he born of a woman? Did he live in the same world like you are living today?
When the enemy heard that God has commended him, for he was a man who vowed a vow, “Even if my God will not save me, and you put me into the lion’s den, I will never ever succumb to your whims and caprices, O king Nebuchadnezzar.”
Why? By Faith, he was put there while standing for the Faith; a persistent Faith. Now persistent Faith closed the mouths of all lions and gave him victory.
21Daniel answered, “O king, live forever! 22My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king.” [Daniel 6:21 – 22 NIV]
Was that not a sustainable experience? Tell Me who will cause him to do otherwise again.
Remember all that you have been passing through all this while. From the day you embraced Christ, what have you been passing through. Are your experiences not enough to create unshakable Faith, persistent Faith in you to believe in THE SON OF MAN?
No fault was found in Daniel. They were disappointed, for he was living a blameless life, having implicit Faith in Christ, desiring to do the will of God more than the will of man; Saying no to the way of others. And what happened? His Faith promoted Him.
25Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations and men of every language throughout the land: “May you prosper greatly! 26″I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel. “For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end.
27He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.” 28So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian. [Daniel 6:25 – 28 NIV]
Faith in God gives you promotion. He became a ruler over a province. And those patriarchs and henchmen who thought they were something ganged up immediately, “How can we keep quiet?”
I want to get the interpretation of that Daniel 6:3 – 4 in Living Bible. [3]Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other presidents and governors,…
The Bible said we should prove ourselves worthy of the calling wherewith God has called us. He proved himself as a capable Minister, like a wife proves herself as a capable mother.
You do not fold your hands and prove yourself. Get everybody convinced that you are a capable father; a capable child [a capable son; a capable daughter] a capable wife and everything. A capable servant who is trustworthy and first in everything that is committed into your hands.
What was the record of Abraham? Abraham was found to be faithful in all his house. A man adjudged faithful over his house and faithful over his service to God. Check all of them. Noah was faithful.
[3]Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other presidents and governors, for he had great ability, and the king began to think of placing him over the entire empire as his administrative officer.
As an Emperor: As his administrator. Administrator over an empire. Emperor! Not Emperor over evil and evil people, but good behaviour. Have you seen what God is doing? Righteousness exalts an individual. Sin debases a personality. Righteousness exalts an individual, a family and a nation. Amen.
34Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. [Proverbs 14:34 KJV]
I want to hear somebody say, “I have found my faults today.” Amen. Do not just say it because THE SON OF MAN said.
Have a conscious look at yourself, and use the Word of God as your plumb line to see whether you can find yourself and then, find your faults, for which cause the Voice had been roaring on you, and for which cause your faith in Christ had never been persistent.
God cannot be responsible for that. Nobody’s fault can be traced to God. Nobody’s error can be traced to God. Amen.
[4]This made the other presidents and governors very jealous,… Envious!…and they began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling his affairs so that they could complain to the king about him.
But they couldn’t find anything to criticize! He was faithful and honest and made no mistakes.
Brethren, put your hands together for God. I told you, “There must be the last Message. Expect it towards the end of 2020. It will round up the programme, for you will not get any other Message higher than this.”
Tell Me, if there be any, what will that Message lead you to? Where will it lead you to? WHERE ARE YOU, O MAN? WHERE ARE YOU, O WOMAN? I HAVE FOUND MY FAULTS TODAY. Amen.
Moses told the people of Israel, “Be sure, your sins must find you out.” Your iniquity will find you out.
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out. [Numbers 32:23 KJV]
There is no facet of our human life the Almighty will not touch through this series of teachings.
All we have been hearing and learning and storing for 28 years, the LORD will summarize in less than one month, and bring you to perfection within this quickest work he is doing now.
If you do not become a part of it, and you are dropped, no more. Nothing will pick you again. Nothing will pick you. You are doomed. Amen. I am coming to something.
IF YOU ARE ALL OUT TO DO THE WILL OF GOD, GO AND DO IT WITHOUT CONSULTING ANYBODY. IF THE LORD HAS REVEALED ANYTHING TO YOU AND YOU KNOW IT IS FROM GOD, DO NOT CONFER WITH FLESH AND BLOOD.
When God revealed something to Saint Paul on the way to Damascus. Did he confer with flesh and blood? He went and he did it.
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. [Galatians 2:15 – 17 KJV]
When he revealed it to Abraham, did he confer with flesh and blood? Why? They had Faith established in God.
2And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. [Genesis 22:2 – 3 KJV]
FAITH DOES NOT HAVE ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION. FAITH DOES NOT HAVE ROOM FOR CONSULTATION. FAITH DOES NOT SEEK THE CHEAPEST COMMODITY IN THE MARKET, WHICH IS HUMAN OPINION.
FAITH DOES NOT SEEK POPULARITY. HEAR ME VERY WELL. FAITH DOES NOT RECOGNIZE CRITICISM. IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE MISUNDERSTANDING. IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE FAILURE. IT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY ESTABLISH FEAR.
THIS IS BECAUSE ONCE FEAR COMES IN, FAITH VANISHES. SO, FAITH COMES TO DESTROY FEAR. FAITH HAS NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
FAITH DOES NOT AIM AT PLEASING ANYBODY, BUT GOD. FAITH AIMS AT DOING THE WILL OF GOD AND NOT THE WILL OF MAN. THAT IS WHY FAITH IS ALWAYS IN THE MINORITY. FAITH DOES NOT WORK WITH MAJORITY. AMEN.
FAITH SEES WHAT THE HUMAN MIND CANNOT SEE. FAITH GOES BEYOND HUMAN FEELING. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE? IT BEATS ALL IMAGINATIONS OF MAN HOLLOW. SURE!!!
Are we riding on? I hope nobody is hungry. If you are hungry, I will permit you to eat and open your ears. If you are feeling hungry for natural food, go and eat, but keep your ears and your heart open.
Rather, I believe that man shall not live by bread alone, bit by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, for the Word is food. Am I making sense at all? Amen. To God be the Glory.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. [Matthew 4:4 KJV]
CAN A MAN STAY HERE ON EARTH AND LIVE A FAULTLESS LIFE? THE ANSWER IS YES! CAN A MAN LIVE A FAITHFUL LIFE? THE ANSWER IS YES!
SO, DO NOT EVER COMFORT YOURSELF IN UNBELIEF, FOR THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT BELIEVE, YOU WILL NEVER MANIFEST IT. A MAN WILL ONLY MANIFEST THAT WHICH HE BELIEVES.
THAT IS WHY, WORK IS FAITH EXPRESSED. EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING, INCLUDING THE LIFE YOU ARE LIVING IS SHOWING NOTHING BUT YOUR FAITH IN GOD.
YOUR CHARACTER AND BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS GOD WILL LET HIM KNOW WHO YOU TAKE HIM TO BE, WHAT HE IS TO YOU OR THE WAY YOU TAKE HIS WORD. IT WILL SHOW HIM WHO HE IS BEFORE YOU AND THE POSITION HE OCCUPIES IN YOUR HEART.
WHEREVER YOU PLACE THE WORD OF GOD IS WHERE YOU HAVE PLACED GOD, FOR GOD IS NOTHING BUT HIS WORD. IS IT A LIE BRETHREN?
IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. [John 1:1 KJV]
FOR I AM THE LORD, I CHANGE NOT; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. [Malachi 3:6 KJV]
WHEREVER YOU PLACED THE WORD OF GOD IS WHERE YOU HAVE PLACED GOD. PERIOD!
Every true seed of God is sustained by the Word of God. He is not sustained by his feelings. He is not sustained by his mind or conscience. He is not sustained by his philosophy or ideology. Every true seed of God is sustained by the Word of God. Find out what has been sustaining you all this while. If what has been sustaining you is not the Word of God, you are sustained by the devil. Devil is falsely sustaining you in error.

I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY [3]
I am continuing. I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY, O KING. I want us to go to the Book of Saint Luke chapter 23 verse 3 through 4.
Living Bible. [3]So Pilate asked Him,… So, Pilate asked A MAN who was brought before him. He asked Him, the Lord Jesus Christ a question.
…“Are you their Messiah—their King?” Yes,” Jesus replied, “it is as you say.” [4]Then Pilate turned to the chief priests and to the mob and said, “So? That isn’t a crime!”
Amplified version. 3So Pilate asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews? And He answered him, [It is just as] you say. [I AM.] 4And Pilate said to the chief priests and the throngs, I find no guilt or crime in this Man. In other words, He is faultless.
Good News Bible. 3Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “So you say,” answered Jesus.4Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I FIND NO REASON TO CONDEMN THIS MAN.”
New International Version. 3So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. 4Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
King James Version. 3And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. 4Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I FIND NO FAULT IN THIS MAN. Amen.
So He lived a faultless life. A blameless life. A life devoid of offence before God and before man. No fault!
Attempting to find fault where there is no fault is an exercise in futility; you end it in nullity. Why could they not find a fault? He is because He is the Captain of Salvation Whom the LORD had already made perfect before He was sent. Is it not true?
35So men are called gods [by the Law], men to whom God’s message came–and the Scripture cannot be set aside or cancelled or broken or annulled—
36[If that is true] do you say of the One Whom the Father consecrated and dedicated and set apart for Himself and sent into the world, You are blaspheming, because I said, I am the Son of God? [John 10:35 – 36 AMP]
Being made perfect, he became the Author of eternal salvation to those who will believe in Him. True or false?
9and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; [Hebrews 5:9 KJV]
God will not use an imperfect person to perfect an imperfect people. Can God use an imperfect judge to judge an imperfect people? That is why all the churches are in error.
Worldly judges are in error, for they are imperfect, judging imperfect people. So they judge according to what they are. Amen.
Today, remember, with your intellect, with your 5th sense, you can be a judge. Is a faultfinder not a judge? Who are they finding fault with? God. Who are they querying? God.
You must know your faults today if you are sincere to yourself. And you will know whether God has touched on those things that have been fooling you and deceiving you as One who is All-knowing, for Allah is All-knowing.
115And to Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces there is the Face of Allah (and He is High above, over His Throne). Surely! Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knowing. [Surah 2:115]
111And whoever earns sin, he earns it only against himself. And Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise. [Surah 4:111]
He knows all the ways of man that they are wrong. Is it not Scripture?
21For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. … 25Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. [Job 34:21 – 25 KJV]
But look at the people that singled themselves out to do the will of God. Did they command the majority? They only command minority.
Daniel did not command majority. The majority were rather on Him and accusing Him, but God Who had already adjudged Him righteous was there with him. Amen.
Can you accuse someone whom God has already justified, declared not guilty and placed in right standing with Himself? Can a man accuse that person?
But remember that by their own law, He was a sinner. They called Him the chiefest of all evil people; chief of the devil.
But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. [Luke 11:15 KJV]
These are the accusers of God and the accusers of those who do good. The spirit of the last days said Saint Paul in the Holy Scriptures, “Men will be false accusers, accusing people that do right. They sneer at people that try to do good; covenant breakers”
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, [2 Timothy 3:1 – 3 KJV]
3[They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good. [2 Timothy 3:3 AMP]
A covenant breaker [trucebreaker] is one that does not have a steadfast Faith; one who does not have a persistent Faith in his belief about God. A little while, with a little shaking or with a little trial, the covenant is broken. His confessions will change.
Watch! When the trial came to Job, the wife immediately broke her covenant.
9Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse God, and die. [Job 2:9 KJV]
9Then his wife said to him, Do you still hold fast your blameless uprightness? Renounce God and die! [Job 2:9 AMP]
When the trial came to Moses, the wife immediately broke the covenant. Is it not true?
24Along the way at a [resting-] place, the Lord met [Moses] and sought to kill him [made him acutely and almost fatally ill]. 25[Now apparently he had failed to circumcise one of his sons, his wife being opposed to it; but seeing his life in such danger] Zipporah took a flint knife and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast it to touch [Moses’] feet, and said, Surely a husband of blood you are to me! 26When He let [Moses] alone [to recover], Zipporah said, A husband of blood are you because of the circumcision. [Exodus 4:24 – 26 KJV]
Check all of them. They never had persistent Faith in their husbands. They never knew their husbands were Saviours or Guides, perfected and sent by God.
Watch the daughter of Saul, Michal. She did not know the difference between one that was drunk and one dancing in admiration before the presence of the Ark of God; demonstrating His joy and happiness until His wrapper fell off.
Nobody noticed that the king was dancing naked, but the wife. Amen.
16And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. …
20Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! [2 Samuel 6:16 & 20] KJV
LET US LEARN TO BEHAVE IN A WAY AND MANNER THAT THE LORD WILL BE PLEASED WITH US AND NOT THE WORLD. IMPULSE! EMOTION! THEY CAN BE DEADLY. WE HAVE TOUCHED ON THOSE THINGS. TRUE OR FALSE?
THESE ARE MODERN NAMES FOR THOSE FALLEN ANGELS, WHO METAMORPHOSED INTO SPIRITS THAT HAVE BECOME DEMONS, DECEIVING AND DELUDING MANY. AMEN.
If the master never spoke, the chief butler would not have known that he was erring. May God help Me.
Let us go to the Gospel according to Saint John chapter 18 verse 38. Living Bible. [38]“What is truth?” Pilate exclaimed. Then he went out again to the people and told them, “He is not guilty of any crime.
Pilate went out to the people and told them again that He [Jesus] is not guilty of any crime.
Amplified Version. 38Pilate said to Him, What is Truth? On saying this he went out to the Jews again and told them, I find no fault in Him.
He [Pilate] went out and told them again, “I FIND NO FAULT IN HIM”, for He discovered that all the Lord Jesus Christ was saying were nothing but the truth. Is that not true?
Go to the Message, “Now I know that thou art a man of God”, for all the words that proceed out of thy mouth are according to truth. Not even one can be faulted.
How do you know a man of God? When He speaks, the Word stands and comes to pass. Now I know that Thou art a Man of God.
Go to the Message, “STAND STILL AND I WILL SHOW YOU THE WORD OF GOD”, that you may know that I am HE.
How do you know a Man of God? The Words that come out of His mouth MUST be according to truth.
And then, Pilate asked Him, “What is truth?” And He said, “I AM THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE. NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME.” Did Pilate fault it? Rather he went and told the people, “I FOUND NO FAULT IN THIS MAN.”
When Saint Paul said so to Agrippa, instead of killing Him [Paul] or sentencing Him, Agrippa said, “Paul, you almost persuaded me to be a Christian.”
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. [Acts 26:28 KJV]
He [Paul] met Felix. Felix [the husband of Drusilla] never argued. Rather, he said, “Paul, please you take leave of me for now. I am having too many encumbrances. When I have a convenient time, I will send for you.”
24And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. [Acts 24:24 – 25 KJV]
THAT IS WHY THERE IS NO CONVENIENT TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING OR THE WRONG THING. THERE IS NO CONVENIENT TIME TO OBEY GOD OR TO DO THE WILL OF GOD. AM I MAKING SENSE?
Did Felix find a convenient time again? It was a way of excusing himself out of the hand of God, for the excuse he gave threw him away from the presence of the Almighty God forever who met him in the Person of Apostle Paul. He missed the day and hour of His visitation.
Agrippa’s case was that he had already tied himself to his religion, being a Pharisee of all Pharisees. He was convinced that what Paul said was the truth, but regretted only one thing: His membership of the Sanhedrins.
“Paul, you almost persuaded me to be a Christian to follow you”, like we heard it at Ihe in Awgu, Enugu State from a professor. We almost persuaded him to become one of us, if not for where he had already entangled himself, he said that he would have become one of us.
He confessed it with his mouth. He was not ashamed of saying it publicly. Amen. To God be the Glory.
But look at this man. After examining Jesus, the man who was the judge over Him, who listened to the crowd who were accusing Him of being a sinner and a controversial figure, chief of the devil by their own assessment, Pilate said, “I FOUND NO FAULT IN HIM.
If you are looking for faults in THE SON OF MAN, you will see many. If you are looking for Christ, you will see Christ. If you are looking for devil, you will see devil, for I have received the commendation of God, the Almighty.
I have manifested the truth. And I know that I am in the minority. I know the entire world is on Me, looking for what they will use to accuse Me before the Father. But what they not know is this:
The Father had already justified, declared THE SON OF MAN perfect, placed Him in right standing with Himself, for that has been His position before He came, that He was born and is still born to righteousness. And righteousness can never depart from Him.
Rather, all that will attain righteousness will attain it through Him.
14And the angel came to me and greeted me with his voice, and said to me ‘This is THE SON OF MAN who is born to righteousness, and righteousness abides over him, and the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes him not.’
15And he said to me: ‘He proclaims to you peace in the name of the world to come; for from there peace has proceeded since the creation of the world, and it shall be with you forever and forever and ever.
16And all shall walk in His ways since righteousness never forsook Him. Their dwelling-place shall be with Him and it will be their heritage, and they shall not be separated from Him forever and ever and ever.
17And so there shall be length of days with the Son of Man, and the righteous shall have peace and an upright way in the name of the Lord of spirits forever and ever.’ [The Ethiopic book of Enoch 71:14-17]
How do you know Him? You will know Him through the Light of His belief. Belief means Teaching. Is it not true?
You must know who you are paying attention to, for Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the truth. And truth can only come from the mouth of the One Whom God has sent as His only beloved Son in Whom He is well pleased, saying, “Hear ye HIM.”
14And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. [John 1:14 AMP]
5While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. [Matthew 17:5 KJV]
If you are standing on any other platform other than this solid Rock, you are standing on sinking sand.
I am making a tape using your Faith, using this Family as My cathedral, My Temple of Worship and everything. I hope you are still with Me. Do not doze. Instead of dozing, you walk about and drink water like Me to stay awake. You cannot be asleep and drink water. Can you?
Why are we what we are? It is because we pay heed to the Word of God. And when God speaks, we bow down in subjection, in reverence, in submission to His perfect will. That is what makes the difference between us and other people.
John 18:38 NIV. 38″What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
I find no basis for a single fault [a charge] against Him. What is the basis for your unbelief? Is it because He is not what He is claiming to be to you? Is it because you think He is an impersonator, a deceiver, a fraudulent fellow, an extortionist, a blood-sucker or a devil in human form?
You must have your reasons. Why the unbelief in you? But if you can stand and testify that before you are convincing signs [demonstrations], unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs, what then could be the basis for your unbelief and lack of Faith?
How I wish somebody will raise His hands towards the sky and say, “Today, God has found Me.” Today, God has found Me.
This is because we were lost, and He went after us. And He has been stretching out His hands to bring the unyielding souls back to the Fold, so that you do not perish.
…The moment a man’s conscience is dead, the man is dead. No child of God disobeys God and feels happy. Once you are a seed of God and discover yourself in disobedience, you must remain restless. Your heart will be fainting until you make it right. That is a sign that you are a seed of God. 21However, once you are on the wrong side and your heart is saying that it does not matter, to begin with, you are a foreigner in the family of God, for no child offends his father and feels happy.

O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU? [1]
It is at the end that I have discovered that almost all that were milling around Me were hypocrites.
So, for that reason, I reserved this Message that it will come at the end to do the last sifting for Me so that every Tom, Dick and Harry will know who He is and who she is, where you are and why you are where you are.
This is because, this question MUST be answered, “O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU? O WOMAN, WHERE ARE YOU?”
And somebody is saying, “I HAVE FOUND MY FAULTS TODAY.” Not one fault, but many faults. Fault yourself and let Me fault Myself.
But unfortunately, we fault others. We give ourselves credit, and discredit others. We see the moth in another man’s eye, when we have not removed the one in our own eyes.
WE DO TOO MUCH LOOKING IN OUR NEIGHBOUR’S FARMS, TELLING THEM THAT THEIR CROPS ARE OVERGROWN WITH WEEDS, BUT LITTLE WEEDING IN OUR OWN FARMS.
I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY. THAT WHICH IS FOOLING ME IS IN ME. WHATEVER THAT IS FOOLING A HUMAN BEING, BLINDING A HUMAN BEING IS FOUND IN THAT HUMAN BEING.
Nobody is the architect of your failure and your lack of Faith, but you. Then begin to narrow it to this point: Is it your nature or acquired nature. Is it the way God made you or is it as a result of your own self will?
Is it a pattern of life you have evolved for yourself, maybe because it gives you joy and promotes your personal ego?
If it is not natural, and it is not inherent, it then means it is acquired. From where did you acquire it? Every acquired habit can be dropped. Every acquired nature can be dropped, but one that is inherent can never be dropped.
A man who is behaving like a woman is doing it because he wants to behave that way. He can change it. A woman that is behaving like a man is doing it because she wants to behave that way. She can also change it. Is it not true?
But if she looks like a woman by nature; in the outlook, she looks like a woman, but inwardly, she has all the characteristic features of a man, can she change?
That is where you get masculine domineering women. Most of them are wrestlers, having strong bones, strong heart and strong resistance. They are genetically made superior. Thank you for this word.
I know many of you know this. You have studied it to know that some women are genetically men. Some are even superior in all respects.
Just like today, when you look at this woman, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, can you call her a woman. Ndy Okereke-Onyiuke, can you call her a woman? Can you call Dora Akunyili a woman?
If they were women, husband would have controlled them, but it was impossible and it is still impossible for them to dance to the tune of a man.
There are too many of them but I just mentioned only but a few. You should know that there are too many. When a woman becomes a tigress, we call her Margaret Thatcher.
Some take delight in another name. They will be too strong for a man to govern and they will take the name, “Iron Lady.” In Igbo parlance such a woman is referred to as a “Lady lion.” Am I making sense.
SO IT IS WITH THE MEN ALSO. A MAN THAT CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY GOD IS A SERPENT SEED. True or false?
Let us look at Ephesians chapter 3 from verse 3 through 12. 3[And] that the mystery (secret) was made known to me and I was allowed to comprehend it by direct revelation, as I already briefly wrote you.
4When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ. 5[This mystery] was never disclosed to human beings in past generations as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles (consecrated messengers) and prophets by the [Holy] Spirit.
6[It is this:] that the Gentiles are now to be fellow heirs [with the Jews], members of the same body and joint partakers [sharing] in the same divine promise in Christ through [their acceptance of] the glad tidings (the Gospel).
7Of this [Gospel] I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s free grace (undeserved favour) which was bestowed on Me by the exercise (the working in all its effectiveness) of His power.
8To Me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God’s consecrated people), this grace (favour, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human being could have searched out],
9Also to enlighten all men and make plain to them what is the plan [regarding the Gentiles and providing for the salvation of all men] of the mystery kept hidden through the ages and concealed until now in [the mind of] God Who created all things by Christ Jesus.
10[The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere.
11This is in accordance with the terms of the eternal and timeless purpose which He has realized and carried into effect in [the person of] Christ Jesus our Lord,
12In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness…
Did it say fear? We dare to have the boldness through our Faith in Him. Put your trust and confidence in this Man you are worshipping. Will you be afraid to come to His presence?
This is because all the manifold things you should know about God has been made known to you through the Church. The Church in My house is where I have revealed all the attributes and supernatural qualities of God, thereby espousing you to the Faith of Christ, that your Faith may not stand on the word of men, but on the Word of God. NOW YOU HAVE THE BOLDNESS. Look at what it has produced.
because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).
No reservation! With freedom and without fear. There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives away all fears.
18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. [1 John 4:18 KJV]
Ephesians 3:9 – 12 Living Bible. [9]and to explain to everyone that God is the Saviour of the Gentiles too, just as he who made all things had secretly planned from the very beginning.
[10]And his reason? To show to all the rulers in heaven how perfectly wise he is when all of his family—Jews and Gentiles alike—are seen to be joined together in His Church [11]in just the way he had always planned it through Jesus Christ our Lord.
[12]Now we can come fearlessly right into God’s presence, assured of his glad welcome when we come with Christ and trust in him.
Ephesians 3:9 – 12 NIV. 9and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
10His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. Amen.
Ephesians 3:9 – 11 Good News Bible. 9and of making all people see how God’s secret plan is to be put into effect. God, who is the Creator of all things, kept his secret hidden through all the past ages, 10in order that at the present time, by means of the church, the angelic rulers and powers in the heavenly world might learn of his wisdom in all its different forms. Amen.
11God did this according to his eternal purpose, which he achieved through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hebrews 10:18 – 19 LB. [18]Now, when sins have once been forever forgiven and forgotten, there is no need to offer more sacrifices to get rid of them.
[19]And so, dear brothers, now we may walk right into the very Holy of Holies, where God is,… You see where God is dwelling. You now walk into there.
And so, dear brothers, now we may walk right into the very Holy of Holies, where God is because of the blood of Jesus.
Amplified version. 18Now where there is absolute remission (forgiveness and cancellation of the penalty) of these [sins and lawbreaking], there is no longer any offering made to atone for sin.
19Therefore, brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the [Holy of] Holies [by the power and virtue] in the blood of Jesus,
There is not going to be any other atonement and no other propitiation for your sins. It has already been atoned and propitiated for. True or false?
Your duty is to believe in God. And in other to make this propitiation an everlasting one; an everlasting atonement, God Himself handed over the remission of sin into the hand of THE SON OF MAN, who is to bring both the living and the dead to judgment, for He is the One who will declare the remission and bring to pass God’s Word.
Full and complete salvation is in the hands of THE SON OF MAN.
Hence, He told all before He translated, “If THE SON OF MAN shall set you free, you shall be free indeed.” If He holds you guilty, there is nowhere you will go and receive any remedy again.
In the days of Saint Paul, He said, “Any sin you forgive, I, Paul, has forgiven and the Lord has also forgiven.”
But to THE SON OF MAN, all [both the living and the dead] will come before Him. He is the One that is conferred with absolute Authority to discharge and acquit.
If you look at Hebrews chapter 9, look at verses 27 and 28. [27]And just as it is destined that men die only once, and after that comes judgment, [28]so also Christ died only once as an offering for the sins of many people;… For where there is no shedding of blood, there can never be remission of sin.
…and he will come again, but not to deal again with our sins. Amen! This time he will come bringing salvation to all those who are eagerly and patiently waiting for him. Did he say “TO EVERYBODY?”
Hebrews 9:27 – 28 King James version. 27And just as it is appointed for [all] men once to die, and after that the [certain] judgment, 28Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for and expecting Him.
[1] EAGERLY, [2] CONSTANTLY [3] PATIENTLY WAITING and [EXPECTING HIM] Have you heard it? Is it not clear? I told you that I am not here to deal with sin.
Now, has He come again? Has Christ come again or are you numbered among those that are expecting Him to come sometime in the future? What is He here to do? What has He come for? What is His mission?
Then, if you do not believe in Him, confide in Him, trust in Him and abide in His Word, will you develop His Faith which He is looking for? Did you get it?
Remission was made, but THE SON OF MAN is coming for Faith. He is coming for Faith. The Faith they could not get because they did not believe in Him. They did not even accept the sacrifice you made.
You must know where you are and why THE SON OF MAN is sounding the way He is sounding that if you perish, you blame yourself. Have they not been hearing it? They have, but they have not been believing. They have not been believing.
I go a little further there.
I have told you the essence of the Messiah coming: To fish out Abraham’s seed of that age. They are the only people that will hear Me. The rest will be claiming to be sons and daughters of Abraham, but they will always frown at My Message, and find fault with My Message. They must find fault with My Message. Whatever you hear, publish it wide. Make it loud and clear. It is Hard Truth. Who can believe this? It is not meant for everybody. Not all men will receive this saying except those who this Message is meant for.

O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU? 2
1st John chapter 4 verses 16 through 17. THE ESSENCE OF MY TOILING. [16]We know how much God loves us because we have felt his love and because we believe Him…
Do you feel the love of God? What are we enjoying all this while? Brethren, is it not the love of God? He is opening our eyes because we are in Him and blinding people who are outside. Am I making sense? Is there any love greater than this?
Do not allow what you are seeing with your eyes to deceive you. Sooner than you think, they will pass away. The world is passing away together with all these things we are seeing, but anybody that is found in Christ will live forever. Amen. Do not allow anything to distress you.
[16]We know how much God loves us because we have felt his love and because we believe Him when he tells us that he loves us dearly.
God is love, and anyone who lives in love is living with God and God is living in him.
[17]And as we live with Christ, our love grows more perfect and complete; so we will not be ashamed and embarrassed at the day of judgment, but can face him with confidence and joy because he loves us and we love him too.
If you love Me, keep My Word. If you love Me, do what? Keep My Word.
King James Version. 16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Sure!
17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Amplified version. 16And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience)… By conscious observation and personal experience.
…and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us.
God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him.
17In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him],…
We have assurance and boldness to go before the LORD. We will never cover our faces in shame. We will not bend, for the guilty are afraid and speechless.
Does an evil man keep his face up? If you are an evil and unrighteous fellow, you can never lift your face during judgment. With your toe, you will be drawing many things on the ground.
That was what happened in the Garden of Eden. Immediately they found themselves in error, for they listened to the voice of a stranger; they wanted to behave like others; their eyes of understanding opened, and they discovered that they had strayed away.
What happened? They covered their faces in shame. Fear gripped them. There is no fear in love. We are no longer afraid whether God will destroy us or not. After all, we are in love with Him and He is in love with us because we abide in His Faith. We have believed in Him.
We have no other place to go. And we are not paying lip service to our Faith and to our belief in Him. We are grounded, rooted, immovable and unshakable. Amen.
If the world will be destroyed now, so be it. Yes!
love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him] because as He is, so are we in this world. Amen. Amen.
AS HE IS, SO WE ARE IN THIS WORLD. IF HE IS WITHOUT FAULT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, WE MUST BE PRESENTED WITHOUT FAULT.
IF HE IS WITHOUT BLAME, IT MEANS HE IS LIVING A BLAMELESS LIFE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. THOUGH THE WORLD WILL BE BLAMING HIM AND FINDING FAULT WITH HIM, BUT GOD IS NOT SEEING HIM THAT WAY.
HE IS THE ONE DOING THE WILL OF GOD. YOUR DUTY IS TO LOOK UP TO HIM. DO NOT LOOK AT ANYBODY. LOOK AT CHRIST. HE IS YOUR LEADER, INSTRUCTOR, GUIDE, TEACHER AND EVERYTHING.
DO IT THE SAME WAY HE IS DOING IT. DO IT THE SAME WAY HE IS INSTRUCTING YOU TO DO IT, AND STOP REASONING. STOP TRYING TO HAVE YOUR WAY. CANCEL YOUR SELF WILL, AND LET THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE.
The problem we are having is that our own will is clashing with the will of God. Our own will gives us joy more than the will of God. Everything from God is perfect. I am striving.
It is past 12 noon. I think I am right. Good. So there is still much time, though we will not overstay. Can we overstay in the presence of God? I am watching the time, and about the same time we terminated the teaching last Sunday, I will terminate it again.
I am summarizing. Now, let us go to the Book of Jude verse 24 through 25. [24-25]And now—all glory to him who alone is God, who saves us through Jesus Christ our Lord; …yes, splendor and majesty, all power and authority are His from the beginning; His they are and his they evermore shall be.
And he is able to keep you from slipping and falling away,…
Remember the Bible said, “Some are on the brink of slipping away.” They are on the brink of falling away. They are on the brink of being deceived or recaptured by the devil. And God has stepped in to save the situation.
He that is able to keep you from slipping or from falling away, from denying your faith, from walking contrary, that is the person you will depend on.
And he is able to keep you from slipping and falling away, and to bring you, sinless and perfect, into his glorious presence with mighty shouts of everlasting joy. Alleluia!!! Amen.
Oooh No! Can you see where THE SON OF MAN is heading to? Can you see His target? Can you see His goal and why He speaks, shouts and preaches under awful conditions, even carrying death in His body like I am carrying it now?
What is My target? To present all of you faultless before the LORD so that you will have a shout of everlasting joy. Will there be any limit to the joy of one who has entered into eternal life?
One who has conquered the world and made it to Paradise in the end will say, “So at last, I have found myself here.”
Let Me tell you. There is no amount of thanks that will be enough to give to THE SON OF MAN, if at the end of the day, he ignores all criticisms, all misunderstandings, all scandals, all gossips, all oppositions and then eventually breaks your resistance, your unyielding spirit, your heart of stone ad brings you safely in there. Well, I do not know what to say again.
Jude 24 – 25 Amplified. 24Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]—
25To the one only God, our Saviour through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it). Amen!
Shall we all say, Amen!!! Once again. Amen!!! Amen means so be it.
If this is not your desire, you need to be pitied. It then means you are running without a target. Have you seen why I am not like any other boxer? I do not hit the air. I am boxing intending on removing My opponent from the way, and then get the crown.
For that, I do not box the shadow. I am not pursuing shadow. I am an athlete. I am running according to the rule of the game. I am following the right track, making no mistake and living no stone unturned, for I do not want to make any mistake either.
Just like Daniel walked and talked and behaved, avoiding all mistakes. Why? He knows that He is not operating alone.
Romans 12:1 – 2 Amplified. Anybody who is found in the same place and position where THE SON OF MAN is MUST be wary of this. Will you toy with the Personality you are representing, who saw the whole world and picked you? Will you compromise it? Marriage is not considered there. There is nothing that reaches there. It is the only ground of no compromise.
1THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance… Intellect, Feeling, Instinct, Imagination, Suspicion, you can name them. Let us do what?
let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (UNNECESSARY WEIGHT)… A Big Burden! Unbelief is a big burden, A Load.
…and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,
2Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus,… Looking away from all that will distract our attention to Jesus Christ. …Who is the Leader and the Source of our Faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also it’s Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection].
He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
That is the much we want to take there. It is a popular Scripture, but it is necessary that I read it again. I hope you are with Me still. I hope you are with Me. Are you tired? I am about to round off.
I want to answer the question. I will answer it, for if I do not answer it, you will find it difficult to answer.
I want to show you a group of people and individuals that received commendations before I will answer this question.
Follow Me as we read 2nd Corinthians chapter 7 from verse 4, Living Bible. [4]I have the highest confidence in you,…Was He referring to the air? …and my pride in you is great.
That is if you are doing the will of God. Can God say this concerning you, that He has great confidence in you as one that will not disappoint? Can God go about priding Himself using you.
God reposed great confidence in the man, Job and was priding Himself before the devil using Job, “You said you have gotten everybody. Have you tried My servant, Job? I know Him. I am confiding in Him. He is faithful in all His ways. Go and try Him.”
When the devil tried, did he succeed? He came back and said, “Oh, you built a hedge around him and told me to go and try. Remove the hedge and see whether he will not succumb. Remove that hedge!”
EVERY TRUE SEED OF GOD HAS A HEDGE. DID YOU GET WHAT I AM SAYING? HE IS SURROUNDED WITH A HEDGE WHICH THE DEVIL CANNOT PENETRATE. WHAT IS THE HEDGE? THE WORD OF GOD WHICH YOU ARE HEARING BUILDS A STRONG FAITH. UNDENIABLE FAITH! UNSHAKABLE FAITH!
IF YOUR FAITH CANNOT BUILD A HEDGE AROUND YOU, IT THEN MEANS YOU HAVE NO FAITH AT ALL. WHAT DOES THE SEPARATION? FAITH! WHAT GIVES THE DEFENSE? FAITH! AMEN!
IF YOUR FAITH IS NOT YOUR DEFENSE, YOU ARE DEFENSELESS. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE? ACTION BACKED BY FAITH IS A DEFENDABLE ACTION. ANY ACTION THAT IS NOT BACKED BY FAITH CAN NEVER BE DEFENDED WITH SUCCESS ANYWHERE.
You can only defend it before heathens, for according to the heathens, anybody who has a better opinion wins their conscience and wins their admiration. He has a better argument, but Faith does not tolerate argument.
You have greatly encouraged me; you have made me so happy in spite of all my suffering. Alleluia!
These were the people that had implicit Faith in the Word He gave them. He commended them immediately.
Amplified version. 4I have great boldness and FREE AND FEARLESS CONFIDENCE and cheerful courage toward you; my pride in you is great. I am filled [brimful] with the comfort [of it]; with all our tribulation and in spite of it, [I am filled with comfort] I am overflowing with joy.
This is what I am expecting here. This is the reason why I am shouting and laboring, to bring you to a level where whether I am away or at home with you, I will not be shaking in mind as to whether you will be in Paradise with me or not.
My aim is that wherever I go, My boast will be your Faith in Me, for it is not easy to believe in somebody you are familiar with.
Moreso; when I am your Father, your Husband, your Master, your Brother, living together with you and having everything in common with you.
Was it not the Faith of Daniel? Was it not the Faith of Enoch? Was it not the Faith of all? Was there any that lived in isolation from human beings? Is your own case different?
You see, you will be supernatural believers when I see this persistent Faith of THE SON OF MAN who is Christ revealed in your day; who is your Saviour and the Saviour of all who will hear Him and believe in Him.
Wherever I go, you will be My pride. You will be My boast. I will even be challenging the devil, “You said a Prophet is without honour among His people. Well, no problem. Come and see My people. They honour Me. They honour My Word. That they have not done it is because I have not said it. Once I make a statement, they scramble to obey. They obey quickly and quietly.”
Then, you have become a motivator to others. You will now encourage others to believe in Me more and more. Is it not true?
How do you get it? You look up to Me as the One who is the Originator of the Faith; as the One who is Nurturing it to grow; as the One who is also Finishing it.
Is there anybody here who can claim he had this Faith before? Did you have it before? The height which you are now in this Faith, was it what you were before? Did you get it. But you can see how far you are now.
Then who will finish it? The same Person. Look up to Him, removing your eyes from everything that will distract to Christ.
THE MOMENT YOU OBEY, IT SHALL BE UNTO YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH. GET RID OF ALL THOSE ENCUMBRANCES THAT EASILY BESET YOU. GET RID OF ALL OF THEM.
All those things that are in you that will help you slip away instead of growing in the knowledge of God and in the Faith; Rather, they are aiding you to drop back, He said, “Strip yourself off those nonsenses”, for they have not been helping you all this while.
How can they now help you when we have come closest and nearest to the end of all things? As you can see events are made clearer now through prophecy. True or false? Is anybody expecting to see a better world tomorrow? It is impossible.
Are you expecting another Son of Man who will come to guide to this place where you are now? Never! After Me cometh no other.
47 Answer the Call of your Lord (i.e. accept the Islâmic Monotheism, O mankind, and jinns) before there comes from God a Day which cannot be averted. You will have no refuge on that Day nor there will be for you any denying (of your crimes as they are all recorded in the Book of your deeds).

THE ANSWER LIES IN CHRIST
The chief butler said to Pharaoh, the king and his master, “I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS TODAY.”
After the Lord Jesus Christ taught them, displaying signs and wonders, He told them, “Have you now believed?” They re-echoed and retorted, “Master, we have believed.”
My question is, “HAVE YOU NOW SEEN YOUR FAULTS TODAY THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD? IS THERE ANY REMEDY? HAVE YOU SEEN THE REMEDIES? REMEDY TO UNBELIEF.”
The remedies have been provided. Remedy to unbelief had already been provided before now. So, you cannot say that you have never heard or that you have not been hearing.
It is a question. Can we say that we have not been hearing it? Can we say that we have never heard? What then is our problem? Is it that the barber is not proficient enough in his job or that the razor he is using is not sharp?
Have we come to believe we are the architects of our own woes and troubles? I will sing a short song in Igbo language and then answer the question at last.
SONG: [When Christ shall appear to reign righteously upon the earth; Satan, the very one that put the world into trouble, shall be cast into the fire. Satan will never have rule over the world anymore.
Hosanna to God! Hosanna to God! Hosanna to God, who came down from heaven.] Amen.
O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU? O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU HIDING?
WELL, ALL OF US MUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION. WHERE ARE YOU, MAN? WHERE ARE YOU, WOMAN? WHERE ARE YOU HIDING? WHEN GOD IS LOOKING FOR YOU, WHERE IS HE EXPECTING TO FIND YOU?
IT MUST BE WHERE YOU WILL BE CLOTHED. IT MUST BE WHERE YOU WILL BE SAFE AND SECURE ETERNALLY. IF IT IS NOT, YOU HAVE RUN THE GREATEST RISK.
Follow Me to the Book of Philippians. I will read it from all translations, in answer to the question raised in the Book of Genesis chapter 41 verse 9, O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU? O WOMAN, WHERE ARE YOU?
Where is God expecting to find you? Jesus asked, “When THE SON OF MAN shall come, shall he find Faith here on earth?” That Faith MUST be in you. How does that Faith come? From the lips of THE SON OF MAN, the Approved Vessel and God’s Envoy for this generation.
In answer to the question, “O MAN, WHERE AM I GOING TO BE FOUND”, we are going to read Philippians chapter 3 from verse 8 through 10 in all translations of the Bible.
Where do you want God to find you My Brother? Where do you want God to find you My Sister? Where is the approved place of Refuge where you will hide and you have escaped from God’s judgment, eternal damnation and eternal destruction?
Philippians 3:8 – 10 Amplified version. 8Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to [1] the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and [2] of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [3] [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. What?
You count everything but loss. You get rid of all things, those encumbrances, those things that easily deceive, blinding you and blocking you, and hardening you against the truth. You count all of them as loss; vanity of all vanities.
FOR HIS SAKE I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING AND CONSIDER IT ALL TO BE MERE RUBBISH (REFUSE, DREGS), [1] IN ORDER THAT I MAY WIN (GAIN) CHRIST (THE ANOINTED ONE),
[2] 9AND THAT I MAY [ACTUALLY] BE FOUND AND KNOWN AS IN HIM, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired),
[3] but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), [4] the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith.
10[For my determined purpose is] [1] that I may know Him [2] [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person… His Personality! …more strongly and more clearly],
[3] and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers],
[4] and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope].
Brethren, this Scripture is worth repeating, I say it is worth repeating. O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU HIDING? WHERE ARE YOU TAKING REFUGE? WHERE ARE YOU THAT IS GIVING YOU THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE?
WHERE ARE YOU THAT IS GIVING YOU THE HOPE OF ESCAPE IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT WHICH IS ALSO ON RIGHT NOW? THAT PLACE YOU ARE HIDING, CAN IT OFFER YOU THE NEEDED ETERNAL LIFE OR SECURITY FROM THE WRATH OF THE ALMIGHTY?
CAN IT GUARANTEE YOU RIGHTEOUS? CAN IT PLACE YOU IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD? CAN IT PLACE YOU IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?
That opinion you are holding about God; That silly, silly, silly, silly. Silly knowledge; Instead of progressing deeper and deeper in Him that you may begin to know the wonders of His Personality.
Living Bible. [8]Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
I HAVE PUT ASIDE ALL ELSE, counting it worth less than nothing, [1] in order that I can have Christ, [9]and become one with him, [2] no longer counting on being saved by being good enough or by obeying God’s laws,
[3] but by trusting Christ to save me; for God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith… Depends on what? Faith—counting on Christ alone.
[10]Now I have given up everything else—I have found it [1] to be the only way to really know Christ… Sure!!! …and [2] to experience the mighty power that brought him back to life again,…Yes! …and [3] to find out what it means to suffer and to die with him. Amen.
Brethren, do not go further. With this two Scriptures, I believe we are satisfied. Am I making sense? Have I answered the question?
O MAN, WHERE ARE YOU? Have you seen where God said you should be found; where we should sleep, where we should wake up, where we should sit down and where we hold have our rest. Am I making sense?
SONG: [Sweep over my soul. Sweep over my soul. Sweet Spirit, sweep over my soul. My rest is complete while I sit at Thy feet. Sweet Spirit, sweep over my soul.]
SONG: [Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me. Break me, melt me, re-mould me and use me. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me]
SING: [In Thee O LORD I put my trust. In Thee O LORD I put my trust. Fail me not. In Thy Kingdom, fail me not. In Thy Kingdom, fail me not. In Thy Kingdom, fail me not.
Fail me not. In Thy Kingdom, fail me not. In Thy Kingdom, fail me not. In Thy Kingdom, fail me not.]
SONG: [Remember me O LORD. Remember me in your Kingdom. Remember me O LORD. Remember me in your Kingdom.]
SONG: [Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the LORD.]
We are not dismissing, but we are going to pray, thanking God for what we have heard today, for He has moved in a mysterious way, making today a memorable day, strengthening THE SON OF MAN, the Man in His right hand side that we will worship him rightly, and who has come today helping our Faith to stand upon the solid Rock, which is Christ.
We pray that God will continue to uphold Him so that He will uphold us, for if He is shaking, we will be shaking. He is the Root holding us. We are the stem and branches. We are not holding the Root, but the Root is holding is.
After our prayers, we will still sit down to read the Message like others; and the events from the websites. But these Messages we are going to read will not be in tapes, for we have them in books.
We will read the 2019 New Year Message: JUDGMENT OF THE WORLD, after which, we read events from the websites. We may not finish all. We will read the much that will help us to know the hour we are in.
On this note, I want Apostle Chukwudi to close us with a prayer, thanking God for this wonderful visitation, praying that this visitation will engulf every Elect throughout the whole world.
CONCLUSION
PRAYER
Our dear heavenly Father, The King of kings and the LORD of Lords, the Great SON OF MAN, the Almighty God in our midst, we are grateful unto you for having this day, O LORD.
Father, if we were not alive to witness this day, I do not believe that we will be a part of this blessing O LORD. I do not believe that we will be partakers of this your wonderful love which you are showering upon us this day, O LORD.
Father, we thank you for how you have called us O LORD, chosen us to be the ones surrounding you and to hear your Word first O LORD.
Father, King of kings and the LORD of Lords, help us O LORD as we are the first people hearing it, may we be the first people to put it into practice O LORD.
Father, may it never fall on deaf ears. Rather, as you have given us this Key O LORD, this Mighty Key that unlocks our salvation, this Mighty Key that clears all doubts O LORD, we pray that you help us.
Give us the wisdom and revelation to use this Key O LORD to solve all problems in our lives and to remove all obstacles on our way to our salvation.
Almighty Father, we cannot cease from thanking you for while you have brought us thus far O LORD, this year has been a very tough one, but you have brought us into the very first day in the month of November 2020.
Father, we are really grateful unto you. You have given us a morale booster O LORD. This Message is enough for us this month O LORD. Father, may we never lose consciousness of the hour we are in.
Father, spiritually transmit this Message that we have heard this hour and this day O LORD into the lives of all the Elect scattered round about the world who are going to listen to this Message.
Transmit this Message into them O LORD. May it never fall on deaf ears. Rather, may they hear this Word and apply that Faith you have taught us O LORD so that we might experience the truth of obedience to your Word O LORD.
Father we pray that you continue to guide and protect us, and that you continue to severe us, O LORD from all the corruption that is in this world through lust.
May we never be a part of this world O LORD. May we never be a part of anything that is happening.
May we continue to remain in that place you have garrisoned us, watching ourselves and our lives 24 hours of the day with your Word O LORD; those Messages that you have given us Father, so that on that great day when salvation will be made complete, we will also be partakers of your blessings O LORD.
May we never stay here to tell people what has happened O LORD. Rather, may we have that everlasting joy O LORD of entering Paradise.
Be Thou exalted Almighty Father for we know that you are here O LORD, and that you have heard and answered our prayers. Be Thou exalted and glorified now and forevermore. Through Peter Christ our LORD we pray. Amen
