⁹Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, it is truth. ¹⁰Ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord, and My Servant Whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. ¹¹I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. ¹²I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you: Therefore, ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God. ¹³Yea, before the day was, I am He; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand: I will work, and who shall let it? ¹⁴Thus saith the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. ¹⁵I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. ¹⁶Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN The LORD God Almighty

Now, we know the Personality that is standing in our midst. He is the Last Hope of mankind, the Only and sure Anchor that will never disappoint, The only Link you have with The Light. In other words, as long as I am on the scene, I am the Light of the world. Whoever that leaves Me must wallow in darkness….. ….You do not know where you are heading to. You are depending on He (The Son of Man) that is leading you. He (The Son of Man) has the instruments, the compass in His hands. You do not know where He is leading you next, but you are sure and certain that you are in the right hands. If you are being carried by a seasoned driver or a professional driver, you can sleep in that vehicle, but if a novice is the one carrying you, your life is in danger. You can hardly relax your mind until you get to where you are going. As a result, our Driver (The Son of Man) knows the road. Our vehicle is sound. There is no shaking twenty-four hours.

-THE SON OF MAN-

LIVING BEYOND THE PRIMITIVE SIDE OF LIFE; Preached on 3^rd June 2007 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 40 vs. 6 – 9.

HAVE A RE-THINK

True Elects of God, Something important that we need to understand is that pleasing God the Son of Man in our midst does not just happen. We need to be intentional, willing, desiring, aiming at, striving at and be ready daily about it. We also need to remember that the Lord sees the heart and not the outside appearance. And there is a great difference between pleasing God and impressing God. That is why the Son of Man said that He will tell some people at the end of time, “I never knew you.” May it never be our portion at the end! Amen.

The same case with the Pharisees when Jesus Christ said this to them as recorded in the book of Matthew 7:21-23, The Message Bible. “Knowing the correct password—saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance—isn’t going to get you anywhere with me. … Sure!!! Password is PIN. You know what PIN is. You have your BVN [PIN]. You have everything. Password is what you will use and be recognized by somebody who is equally in the same group with you.
Our password today is “Remain blessed”. Another password is “Brethren”. Number 3 password is “Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide”, “Where do you worship God?”, “What is the name of your own church?”
Bride of Christ, password. Remain blessed, password. Brother, password. Sister, password.
The devil has that password. Any human being can have the password. That you say remain blessed, does it mean that you belong to me? Does it mean that I belong to you? The person must have heard our password.
So, you can easily be duped when your password enters into the wrong hand or when your PIN enters into a wrong hand. At that moment, whatever you have in your bank account is endangered. It is jeopardized.
You can log on whatever you want to log in but the most important thing is the PIN. Without the PIN, you cannot make the withdrawal. Is it a lie Brethren?
After everything, even with your POS, they will say, “Put your PIN”. With your handset, “Put the PIN”.
So, the PIN is your password. It is secret. Only the owner knows it. It is hidden from the rest of the world. He releases it to anybody He wants to release it.
But to the child of God, he has his own password. If I am a child of God and you are a child of God, we should have a common password. And that common password is beyond “Remain blessed”. It is beyond “God bless you”. It is beyond attending Fellowship. It is beyond personal recognition.
This password, the one God recognizes is your character propelled by your obedience to the truth as revealed to you by God. I am saying that God wants to see Obedience-Based-Character; Obedience-Based-Character – OBC.
Any character that is not based on total submission to the will of God is a devilish character. It is mere charisma. It is fake. A counterfeited character. Your nature must be Obedience-Based-Nature. A nature and a character borne out of willful obedience to the Word of God revealed to you. A character that is formed. A character that is developed by obedience to the truth. A nature!
Any other thing is counterfeited character or counterfeited outfit. A manipulation. And that is fake in the sight of God.
So, go to that Matthew Chapter 7. I am interested. You can equally corroborate it with the Gospel according to Saint Mark in Chapter 7 verse 7 in the same Bible.
Matthew 7:21-23, The Message Bible. “Knowing the correct password—saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance—isn’t going to get you anywhere with me. … LORD, LORD! LORD, LORD! The correct PIN. The correct password, you know it, “LORD! LORD! Daddy! Daddy! Son of man! Son of Man! Apostle Peter! Most High God! King! KING of Kings!”
Reciting all the titles that are associated with the Name of the Most High God can never give you salvation. It can never give you eternal life, for some of them might mean mockery. They might mean scoffing. They might mean ridiculing. Some of them might mean cajoling the individual. What I am telling you is the truth, for I am speaking the truth.
So, it is not “LORD, LORD! Daddy! Daddy!”You can call Him Daddy with your mouth and slaughter Him with your heart. If He is LORD or Daddy or Son of Man over you, why do you disobey Him?
He is not LORD over you. You are still having lordship over yourself. You are still full of yourself. You are still a self-consumed individual.
Matthew 7:21-23, The Message Bible. “Knowing the correct password—saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance—isn’t going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. …
Not unserious, but serious obedience; doing what My Father wants you to do.
…I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, ‘Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.’ And do you know what I am going to say? ‘You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. … Alleluia!
I love this translation. You missed it all. You sponsored all God’s projects. You preached alongside with Him. You bashed the demons. You killed the dajjal. You reduced even the city on the seven hills to rubbles. Fine!
You know what you did? Thank you for doing all these things. They are now your testimonies of how you walked with Me. You have missed it all. You missed the boat. You were merely using My Name to advertise fame; to advertise your personality and to be known as a Bishop, a Deacon or a Pastor.
It is just like I told you what happened the other day when Nath Ihemanma called Me and I gave him audience. Of everything, he said he was asking that I should restore him with the post of that Bishop, “It is very important to me”.
Can you imagine? He wants to regain the title, Bishop. Bishop without godly character. What will it earn him? He needs the title to boost his personal ego wherever he is, whether at Isiala-Ngwa or Umuahia.
This thing is applicable to people from that area. For the same thing, Bro Chikee wrote Me and equally called. Instead of turning away from wickedness to righteousness; instead of thanking God when he heard that he has been restored, he said, “Please, I am asking that you restore the Bishop. It is important to me.” He wants to answer a Bishop without looking into his character.
I equally remember when we were producing the new ID cards that Ikechukwu Ezindu travelled all the way from Mbaise to Onitsha only to tell the Pastor while he was here saying, “Put Pastor. Now, I am Pastor, I want you to put Pastor Ikechukwu Ezindu. Do not write Brother Ikechukwu Ezindu again. Write Pastor”.
You see! These are just but a few. Almost all these Elders that are parading themselves as Apostles, as Deacons, Elders, Bishops and so on, how many of them have made foolproof of their callings and their offices. How many?
Remember as far back as 2001 when I was handling the GREAT SERMON. God said, “They are wearing their offices as tags; as scapulars! As scapulars!” If it is possible, they will inscribe it on their T-shirts to make a demarcation between them and others.
How many of them can we rightly stand up and say, “This one has really proved himself to be worthy of the office he is occupying.”
Only handpicked few. I do not want to call their names, but you all know them. You know those that are making positive impact in your lives. You know those whose lives are worthy of emulation, who are walking as you see us for example, and whose pattern of life, you can follow.
Check the whole Deacons. Is there any you can follow his life pattern? I want us to see the meaning of pattern. Get Me Google and other dictionaries, and let us see the meaning of pattern.
A pattern of life. A pattern of a family. A pattern of marriage that is endorsed by God. Not every lifestyle is approved. Not every character is approved of God. Otherwise, the devil’s character will be approved.
Meaning of PATTERN. [https://wordassociations.net.] Someone or something seen as an example to be imitated.
I want to hear PATTERN. I want to see the meaning. There are too many meanings.
[https://www.collinsdictionary.com] in American English: [1] a person or thing considered worthy of imitation or copying. [1] a model or plan… A model, masterpiece or plan. Icon! …used as a guide in making things; …
Someone or something that is seen as an example to be imitated; to be emulated. Someone whose character is worthy of emulation.
Now, with this at the back of your mind, the Bible said that you should mark them that conduct their lives as you have us the Apostles as examples, and follow them.
REFERENCE: Philippians 3:17-18, King James version. ¹⁷Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. ¹⁸(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Let your life reflect Christ, for He is the Chief of all the Apostles or the Chiefest of all the Apostles, and the Bishop of our souls.
If you check the qualifications of all the Deacons in the Bible and the instruction given to them; if you use it, all the Deacons among us are lost. Not even one will smell the Kingdom of Heaven.
Then you use the stipulations of the son of man, who called them and ordained them, and gave them His own verbal mandate, they are weighing nothing, but still wearing those tags.
It is easier to ordain somebody into an office than to de-robe him of that particular accolade. Once a Pastor, always a Pastor.
It is like someone becoming a senator or an honourable person in Nigeria. Even one that contested for a local council election, but failed, he bears the title, Honourable. When they fail, they retain “Honourable”. When they win, they retain “Honourable”. Whether they are serving or not serving, they retain “Honourable”, even when their tenures expire.
Have you wondered why a senator does not drop the title, “Senator”? Even if he becomes a governor, he still holds on to the title, “Senator”. If he becomes the president, he holds the title, “Senator”. Why? So, we do not have deposed senators. A senator is a senator. What a pity? I say, what a pity?
What a pity that people can use God and His Message merely to advertise their personalities, both man and woman, that they might be known as men of God, Ministers in the Five-Fold, which characterized end-time message. The Five-fold Ministry. Four-fold ministry. Three-fold. One-fold.
The same way, you can use the son of man today to advance your personality and to advance your course. “Do you know who I am? I am the son of the son of man. Do you know who I am? I am so, so and so to THE SON OF MAN.”
Yes! It is proper, if you can be living that life and doing the work as assigned to you. But when you know that you are not performing, and that you are redundant because you declared yourself redundant. You sat down voluntarily on your own.
You retired yourselves and confined yourselves to your houses and to your beds and began to programme sleeping, programme food and programme useless itineraries. You have become itinerant, wandering from house to house, and from pillar to post, doing nothing. You have made yourself more or less an infidel.
An infidel is one that failed in his responsibility. When a man fails in his responsibility towards his family, he becomes an infidel. When He fails in his responsibility to his office and to his calling in Christ, automatically, he becomes an infidel.
How many infidels are using the son of man, the Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide and His Messages only to advertise themselves and their personalities that they might be known and addressed as Deacons, Teachers, Pastors, Evangelists and Apostles?
And you look at the one that calls himself Apostle, you will notice that he has never for one day apostled a goat. I mean, he has never helped a goat to turn over to a new leaf.
MAY WE HAVE A RE-THINK is my plea. Peradventure, there might be hope for you, for you are still alive. It is applicable to man. It is also applicable to woman.
The days are over when people wear the Name of Christ as ordinary nomenclature; A SIN OF MANY; “Name me after Christ”. The days are over when you are identified as Christ’s adherent by your mode of dressing or your mode of talking or walking. Those days are over.
This is because God is now all out for His final selection. And He is selecting the best of the bests. He is selecting the best of the bests, not those who are parading themselves everywhere, advertising their fame and their popularity, using THE SON OF MAN and His Message.
Matthew 7:21-23, The Message Bible. “Knowing the correct password—saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance— isn’t going to get you anywhere with me.
What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, ‘Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.’
And do you know what I am going to say? ‘You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don’t impress me one bit. You’re out of here’.
What a disappointment people will meet at the end. I say, what a great disappointment people are likely to meet at the end. That is why the LORD Jesus said, “Blessed is that workman; that steward who remains working; who remained in his duty position until his Master arrives. He will be blessed and rewarded greatly, for remaining on duty and remaining in his duty position until his Master arrives.”
Happy, blessed, fortunate, to be envied is that steward, who never for one day, idled away his time, pretending to be doing something for God when He is doing nothing.
Blessed is that one who is very serious, and not that one who is unserious [man or woman] that remains pressing forward to the mark of his holy and high calling he received from Christ. He remains working. He remains in the Vineyard, pressing on until the Master arrives. He will be rewarded immensely by the Master.
But those who felt the Master would not come back on time, or that He might not come back again, and then slept; some wandered away to their businesses, to their farms and every other thing, abandoning the work that was assigned to them, the Holy Qur’an said, “They will be met with supreme shame. Supreme disappointment.”
This is because they will be bound hands and feet and cast into everlasting furnace where there will be groaning, mourning and gnashing of teeth forever and ever, throughout the eternity of eternities.
We need to have a re-think. Are we doing the work assigned to us by the Master? Even when the Master is here superintending the work, how many are still labouring on with Him?
You are enjoined to labour on and remain labouring on until the Master arrives. But now that the Master has come to take the Saints away, yet, not even one is struggling to meet with the qualification.
Rather, they are going about with names they arrogated to themselves, just answering names. And I told you, “Please, do not try to answer a name, but try to make a name for yourself.”
It is bad and very deceitful to go about answering names. It is best to desire and to strive to create a name for yourself.
When you achieve a giant stride that will be credited to you, you have made a name that will go down in the annals of history in that endeavour. true or false?
What will you be remembered for? Right now, when your name is mentioned, what will run across the minds of the Saints of God? Will they hear your name and rejoice exceedingly, or will they hear your name and sigh?
I do not know what is wrong with that Brother or Sister. Look at the way He started his journey. He was faring well. In short we were enthusiastic about him, but all of a sudden, he dwindled and fizzled out.
While you are alive, your ministry fizzles out. Why then are you still breathing? Why are you still eating? Why do you go to bed and sleep?
That you failed woefully while you are still alive [young and old], look at the Message. The Message said that our youths [our growing youths] appear to be worse than their parents. And by the way they are coming up, not even one is showing interest in the affairs of Christ. They are all self-absorbed. In other words, they are going to be worse than their parents.
But amidst all these things, there must be a hand-picked minority. There must be a Caleb and a Joshua who will have another spirit, that will single themselves out.
Nothing stops this Message; this particular Movement from producing a Titus, a Timothy, a Sylvanus. Nothing stops this Faith from producing them. I used these few as examples, but there are many others.
Who is your icon? Who are you patterning after? Who is that your role model, whose character is influencing your life? Is there any one that is traceable among us or among the ministerial group and their families?
That is why the absence of the Queen of Paradise, our joyful Sister, who happens to be My wife, for I begat her in Christ. And I made a statement in the Message, PROPHECIES FULFILLING concerning her long long time ago that I personally went to idolatrous town called Nsugbe and picked her, for that was where her body was lying. I traced her body there, exhumed the body and brought her to My side for her full and complete salvation, not only here but in the hereafter.
And that Message challenged everybody that time. And from that time He said, “Watch! See whether there will be any man or woman from Nsugbe that will identify with this Movement.”
Up till now, have you seen any? No matter how they rejoiced over it, it is because of what they are gaining from it. No matter how they approve of it [that which they fought against, they started approving of it] it can never bring them in. Never! Both their sons, their daughters and their wives, not even one.
Check Nsugbe with the whole of the communities in Anambra East LGA. Am I not here with them? Am I not their son in-law. So, God knows what He is doing.
God went to Jericho and exhumed a corpse called Zaccheus and his family, wrapped them up and went away.
So God is looking at your heart. The moment you are determined to serve God in spirit and in truth, I bet you, the Elohim must come to your help. The LORD must surely come to your help. He will give you a helping hand to surmount the rest of the obstacles on your way. But when you are paying lip service to it, forget about it.
That is why God knows those who have come all out; who are serious in worshipping Him in spirit and in truth. And these are the people who, if they falter, God will understand. He will tell them, “Go on! Play on! Play on!”
As long as the referee has not blown the whistle, there is no infringement recorded. Do you believe that? In a football field, there might be infringements noticeable by everybody. Even the spectators will notice it. But the referee will ignore it and say, “Play on!” In other words, no infringement is committed.
If because of that, you begin to riot, pray that the goal will not be scored, for it will be recorded against you. A coward in every competition.
Watch the wrestlers. Many many things you think may constitute offences and infringements, the referee will close his eyes against them.
Sometimes, he may even decide to lie down, claiming he is wounded with one eye open. The moment the particular one who he wants to favour crawls and rests his hand on his opponent, the referee can make a fast count. The highest thing you can do is to demonstrate, but you cannot remove him from that office for the referee’s decision is final.
I am the last umpire. Thank you!

… you must reject the Message of salvation coming from this House, for you to go to hell. You must say no to it, and then you head straight to hell. When you welcome it and put it into practice, you become a wise fellow, building yourself on a solid Rock. You will be building your faith [your most holy faith] to become unshakable and immovable upon the solid Rock which is the Word of God; the Word of His prophecy that is able to sanctify your life and get you established among those that are having inheritance with the Saints in Paradise. Outside it, you have no hope of eternal life.

CLOSE THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART TO YOUR KNOWN ENEMY – Part 2 [A Morning Altar Message] Preached on Saturday 4^th July, 2020 Page 164 verse 33 through 36

WORSHIPPING GOD IS A RELATIONSHIP

Matthew 7:21-23, The Message Bible. “Knowing the correct password—saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance— isn’t going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills.

I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, ‘Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.’
And do you know what I am going to say? ‘You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don’t impress me one bit. You’re out of here.’
Mark 7:6-8. The Message Bible. Jesus answered, “Isaiah was right about frauds like you, hit the bull’s-eye in fact: These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their heart isn’t in it. They act like they are worshiping me, but they don’t mean it. They just use me as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy, Ditching God’s command and taking up the latest fads.”
Surah 39:14-15. Say (O Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) “Allah Alone I worship by doing religious deeds sincerely for His sake only and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship.”
So worship what you like besides Him. Say (O Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam): “The losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. [Sure!!!] Verily, that will be a manifest loss!” (Sheikh Sudais Translation)
A real manifest loss. You lose yourself; You lose your family; And not even a soul saved.
As Jerry B. Jenkins said: “Christianity is not a religion. It’s a relationship.” [Sure!!!]
The same thing; worshipping God is not a religion, not to be prominent; not to become rich in the world or a lucrative business but to build a formidable relationship which is vine-branch relationship with God, [Sure!!!] the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN.
Worshipping God is a relationship between man and God. Is it not true? Fine!
… That is why God the Son of Man first of all came, introduced and gave us the Bible as a reference point, making the Bible a new Book in our hands by injecting power and spirit in the written word and interpreting it rightly. … [Sure!!!]
… Tell God to teach you how to conduct yourself in the hour we are living in. … Amen!!!
… Romans 8:5-10 The Message Bible. Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life.
Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.
… WHEN A WOMAN IS ALL OUT TO PLEASE THE HUSBAND WHO MAY NOT BE GODLY, SHE MAY END IT DISPLEASING GOD. … Pure truth!!!
… WHY? The husband who is wielding authority over the woman may regulate the woman’s life outside the presence of God. Sure!!! The woman can do so to the husband.
THIS IS BECAUSE IF A MAN RESENTS AND REJECTS THE WORD OF GOD, HE MUST MAKE SURE THE WIFE REJECTS THE WORD OF GOD. That is pure truth!
Worship not only pleases God but is an excellent weapon for defeating the enemy. …
[Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu] Just like this morning, the LORD was highlighting a Message that we also neglected. There was something we were saying that brought us to that Message, “The Good Shepherd” and then other Messages tied to that Message.
One who finds it difficult to offer something to God or lay something at the feet of the Almighty God, feels that God does not need anything. And so, there is no need coming to His rescue.
Some see it as coming to God’s rescue, not knowing that offering something to God means sowing something. And it comes, not with that exact reward. While coming back, it comes in full and overflows. The reward has a multiplier effect, for it comes in multiples.
God even used our palms to give the illustration. He said that if you have something in your palm. One that is higher than you will come and drop something into your palm, while the one who is lower than you are will come and collect from your palm. The result is that it [the palm] can never go dry.
On the other hand, if you close your palm by forming a fist, whatever you are having in your palm will be dripping away gradually through the opening in the fist or you will also be consuming it until finally, nothing will be left in your clenched palm because nothing had been entering the palm.
So, that is what this place is trying to show us. Our worship to God is not to make God anything, but that is why we say that it is a privilege for you to worship God.
God asked a question, “If you say you are following God, does God know that you are following Him?” If God recognizes and acknowledges your followership, it is the best privilege ever. This is because we know that thousands and millions are worshipping amiss, for God does not acknowledge their worship.
… Worship also opens up doors for supernatural encounter and spiritual growth in our lives. … Sure!!!
… If all that life entails is to eat and drink, die and pass away like that, of all men, the Bible said, we shall be the most miserable. Our faith is very strong in Christ that there is life after death,… Sure!!!
… Pleasing and making God glad is the most essential ingredient to live a peaceful life within and without. Sure! God’s peace is nothing to compare to the one the world offers us. … That is pure truth!
Proverbs 16:7, Amplified version. When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Daniel 3:12-30, The Message Bible. Well, there are some Jews here—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—whom you have placed in high positions in the province of Babylon. These men are ignoring you, O king. They don’t respect your gods and they won’t worship the gold statue you set up.” Furious, King Nebuchadnezzar ordered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be brought in. When the men were brought in, Nebuchadnezzar asked, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t respect my gods and refuse to worship the gold statue that I have set up? I’m giving you a second chance—but from now on, when the big band strikes up you must go to your knees and worship the statue I have made. …
Angelus. It is Babylon? Nimrod religion. That is the woman religion. The queen of heaven. The wife of Nimrod. Today, daughters of Mary! Children of Mary!
… I’m giving you a second chance—but from now on, when the big band strikes up you must go to your knees and worship the statue I have made. …
Descendants of Nimrod! These are the descendants of Nimrod. These were the same statues Abraham broke into pieces and entered into trouble.
The father [Terah] then made a confession that there was never a time the statues of stone and wood had life in them, but insisted that Abraham committed an abomination, for which cause he passed a death sentence on Abraham, such that he will be thrown into a furnace of fire.
See it now that these other ones [Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego] are entering the furnace of fire. All perpetrated by the descendants of Nimrod.
[Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu] He [Nebuchadnezzar] acknowledged that he made it. A god he made with his own hands.
Abraham’s father [Terah] told him that it was impossible for the idols to move their hands or to eat. He said, “You have wreaked havoc here by destroying my gods I made with my hands. You are going to be fried on the furnace.”
…If you don’t worship it, you will be pitched into a roaring furnace, no questions asked. Who is the god who can rescue you from my power?” Nimrod!
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered King Nebuchadnezzar, “Your threat means nothing to us. If you throw us in the fire, the God we serve can rescue us from your roaring furnace [Sure!!!] and anything else you might cook up, O king. But even if he doesn’t, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference, O king. We still wouldn’t serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up.”
Nebuchadnezzar, his face purple with anger, cut off Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace fired up seven times hotter than usual. [Sure!!!] He ordered some strong men from the army to tie them up, hands and feet,… Inquisition! …and throw them into the roaring furnace. Roman religion!
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, bound hand and foot, fully dressed from head to toe, were pitched into the roaring fire. … In Babylon! Nebuchadnezzar, king of the world. The head of the Roman religion. The son of Nimrod who proceeded from Cain.
Because the king was in such a hurry and the furnace was so hot, flames from the furnace killed the men who carried Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to it, while the fire raged around Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Suddenly King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in alarm and said, “Didn’t we throw three men, bound hand and foot, into the fire?” “That’s right, O king,” they said. “But look!” he said. “I see four men, walking around freely in the fire, completely unharmed! And the fourth man looks like a son of the gods!”
Nebuchadnezzar went to the door of the roaring furnace and called in, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the High God, come out here!” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked out of the fire. All the important people, the government leaders and king’s counselors, gathered around to examine them and discovered that the fire hadn’t so much as touched the three men—not a hair singed, not a scorch mark on their clothes, not even the smell of fire on them! Nebuchadnezzar said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!
He sent his angel and rescued his servants who trusted in him! They ignored the king’s orders and laid their bodies on the line rather than serve or worship any god but their own. “Therefore I issue this decree: Anyone anywhere, of any race, colour, or creed, who says anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be ripped to pieces, limb from limb, and their houses torn down. There has never been a god who can pull off a rescue like this.” Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
When we stand firm and worship the only One and true God unshakeable in this faith as true believers, …
If you pass through the fire of death, God will be there with you. If you pass through the valley of death, He will be there with you. Pass through the ocean waters, He is there with you, for He will never forsake His own, especially in the time of trouble. He is always there to rescue His own.
… and if we are not ashamed to openly declare our faith, God offers us protection. Do not give in to the lies of the enemy. Instead, let us seek protection and life eternal from God by pleasing Him in all our ways. Join no other gods with Allah, the Son of Man.
We have a Message titled, “IF YOU WANT ETERNAL LIFE FROM GOD, GO TO THE MAN HE GAVE THE AUTHORITY, THE SEAL, THE ENDORSEMENT AND THE APPROVAL TO GIVE IT”.
1 John 5:19-20. Read it there if you have seen it. Reading the Bible is not a ministry. As long as I am here, anybody can read. Man and woman can read. I am here. I am the Final Authority.
Amplified version. ¹⁹We know [positively] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] is under the power of the evil one. ²⁰And we [have seen and] know [positively] that the Son of God has [actually] come to this world and has given us understanding and insight [progressively] to perceive (recognize) and come to know better and more clearly Him Who is true; and we are in Him Who is true–in His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah). This [Man] is the true God and Life eternal.
Living Bible Translation. ^[19]We know that we are children of God and that all the rest of the world around us is under Satan’s power and control.
^[20]And we know that Christ, God’s Son, has come to help us understand and find the true God. And now we are in God because we are in Jesus Christ his Son, who is the only true God; and he is eternal Life.
Good News Bible. ¹⁹We know that we belong to God even though the whole world is under the rule of the Evil One. ²⁰We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we know the true God. We live in union with the true God—in union with his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and this is eternal life. Finish! Not false God.
The Message Bible. ¹⁹We know that we are held firm by God; it’s only the people of the world who continue in the grip of the Evil One. Sure!!! ²⁰And we know that the Son of God came so we could recognize and understand the truth of God—what a gift!—and we are living in the Truth itself, in God’s Son, Jesus Christ. This Jesus is both True God and Real Life.
King James version. ¹⁹And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. ²⁰And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true; and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. That’s all! Stop!
… You can have the best life in this world, but that does not guarantee that you will have eternal life. … Amen!!!
As much as we live in this physical world, we need to understand that whatever happens to us starts in the spirit realm before it occurs physically. … That is truth!
… And sadly many people are continuing to die without God which means spending your life in total regrets at last. … That is truth!
… No matter how you came into this world, you know that God planned for you and I to be here for such a time as this. It does not matter what you have been told by others. Even if your parents have called you an accident, know that you are not one. Sure!!!
Like we have many parents in our midst that are busy cursing and insulting their children; calling them all manners of unpleasant names. And the children that are receiving these insults are those that have taken bold steps and stand with God to correct and stamp out the evils being spearheaded by their unholy and ungodly parents in their families. Sure!!!
Yet, their eyes are blindfolded with the glamour of iniquities so that they cannot differentiate between godly correction and parental respect from their children. And God warned and told us youths and children in this Faith only to obey our parents in the Lord. Sure!!!
The Lord said and I quote, “OUR INABILITY TO SEE THINGS WITH THE EYES OF TRUTH, THE EYES OF GOD AND REASON WITH THE MIND OF GOD HAVE BECOME OUR GREATEST UNDOING. Sure!!!
God knowing that we are One Family, gave us instruction that we must be collectively joined together in one mind. Sure!!! Is it Scripture?
We must be joined together in one mind, in one spirit, having the same judgement, speaking the same thing and minding the same thing,… Walk on the same road; on the same pedestal.
…so that if there be one that walks contrary in your midst, even the Spirit of Christ will reveal.” From the Message, A CALL TO GLORY Vol.1; Page 70 Vs 47-48 Preached On Sunday, 6TH November 2022. At THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe. By Apostle Peter Odoemena The Son of Man.
1 John 3:7-10, The Message Bible So, my dear children, don’t let anyone divert you from the truth. It’s the person who acts right who is right,… Amen!
It is not the one that speaks right. You can speak right and act wrong. It is the person that does what is right that is right. You cannot speak right and act wrong and be claiming you are right.
It’s the person who acts right who is right, just as we see it lived out in our righteous Messiah. Those who make a practice of sin are straight from the Devil, the pioneer in the practice of sin. Good! The Son of God entered the scene to abolish the Devil’s ways. ….. Here’s how you tell the difference between God’s children and the Devil’s children: Sure!!! The one who won’t practice righteous ways isn’t from God, nor is the one who won’t love brother or sister. A simple test! Sure!!!
…Every God-begotten person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. Sure!!!

What will I tell the heathens if I meet with them in judgement and go to hell with them. What will I tell them. They know me as one that is serving the Lord, claiming to be doing the will of God. Eventually you see me marching into hell with people that know me as such. What will be my excuse. That is why blessed, happy, to be envied, is that person, man or woman, young or old, the Lord has adjudged guiltless, discharged, acquitted, set free and set aside. Consecrated unto himself. To such people [Oh!] belongeth the kingdom of heaven.

-THE SON OF MAN-

CLOSE THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART TO YOUR KNOWN ENEMY – Part 2 [Morning Altar Message] Preached on Saturday 4^th July, 2020 Page 155 verse 7 through 8.

DO NOT MAKE LYING YOUR FAVOURITE SIN

1 John 5:21, Amplified version. Little children, keep yourselves from idols (false gods)–[from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life]. [Amen!] Amen (so let it be).

How many are placing God above their personal consideration. God has the first share of your life, your time and everything. In all things, God is the number one that you must consider.
You will do this and you will do that. Is it not when God guarantees life? The same God that guarantees life, guarantees the opportunity for life to be utilized for meaningful purposes.
But often times, we assume the air of Omnipotence, Omniscience and even Omnipresence. Often times, we assume the air of the Creator of the heaven and the earth. That is a misleading assumption. You are not the Creator of heaven and earth.
Even the creator of heaven and earth does not make noise. He stays quiet and aloof from everything human beings are parading themselves for.
So, check your life to know whether God has occupied the first position in your life. Check to see whether there is something in you that can place your priorities right.
It is just like if you want to go to bed, to put the bed in order, the first thing is that you call upon God. If you want to eat, you call upon God. You want to step out for anywhere, you call upon God. Even the Bible says that you pray at all times. Pray without ceasing.
You remember God. In all your actions and in your daily activities, remember God. You think before you talk. I hope we are paying attention.
Praise the LORD, Sussan. I do not know whether it is your habit from your house or whether it is your nature, but in My house here, we abhor telling lies.
You are a woman. Any day you become notorious for telling lies; you are notorious and people have known you for telling lies, you are unreliable and you are undependable, you have ruined your life. You have destroyed your future. So, begin now to attend to it.
Whether FearGod came from Ngwa and erected a shrine called lying shrine, I do not know. And that is where EliJoe’s son is bowing down every day.
So if you are fond of erecting shrines; I call them lying shrines, you will be performing lying wonders. I say, you will be performing lying wonders.
All of us should take note. Do not make lying your favorite sin. There is no sin anybody should patronize. Do not ever be in acquaintance with anything evil. Let it not even be named among you. Let your yea be yea and nay, nay. Anything outside it is of the devil.
Hear Me very well. You receive more shameful treatment when you continue to tell lies than the insult you think you will get if you are rebuked when you err.
If you err, report yourself. Nobody will kill you. “Who did this? I am the one.” You will only get corrected, “Why did you do it? Do you not know a better way of doing it? Please do not try it again.” You have been corrected.
But when you insist on lying, trying to coin out defense, it is unfortunate that it takes a foolish fellow to defend the indefensible.
It is just like I am holding this spoon in My hand. And somebody asks Me, “Daddy, why are you holding this spoon?” or “Is this thing you are holding not a spoon?”
Then I will become a forensic advocate trying to change a lie into truth or to change a lie into truth. You have made yourself a lawyer. And that is why God said, “Woe unto lawyers.”
Every human being that is not possessed by the spirit of God must be a lawyer. The devil will train you in argument. The art of law is nothing but studying arguments. If you are a professor of law, you are a professor of argument. You can hold a masters’ degree in argument. You can be a senior advocate in argument.
No lawyer is trained in any other thing except on how to argue cases, and how to change black to white or white to black. That is why no lawyer will meet the righteous demands of God, except Barrister Zenas who, after believing the Message of Jesus Christ, resigned completely. Saint Paul resigned and pulled away, for they knew that there was no way they could handle that thing and also handle the truth.
References: [1] Philippians 3:4-9, The Living Bible. ^[4]Yet if anyone ever had reason to hope that he could save himself, it would be I. If others could be saved by what they are, certainly I could!
^[5]For I went through the Jewish initiation ceremony when I was eight days old, having been born into a pure-blooded Jewish home that was a branch of the old original Benjamin family. So I was a real Jew if there ever was one! What’s more, I was a member of the Pharisees who demand the strictest obedience to every Jewish law and custom.
^[6]And sincere? Yes, so much so that I greatly persecuted the Church; and I tried to obey every Jewish rule and regulation right down to the very last point. ^[7]But all these things that I once thought very worthwhile—now I’ve thrown them all away so that I can put my trust and hope in Christ alone.
^[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, in order that I can have Christ, ^[9]and become one with him, no longer counting on being saved by being good enough or by obeying God’s laws, but by trusting Christ to save me; for God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith—counting on Christ alone.
[2] Acts 18:1-3, King James version. ¹After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; ²and found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome,) and came unto them. ³And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: (for by their occupation they were tentmakers.)
[3] Titus 3:13, Good News Bible. Do your best to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos to get started on their travels, and see to it that they have everything they need.
Sincere lawyers today are pulling out. Those who want to serve God are even taking appointments as company secretaries and managers of companies so that they will save their lives.
But those who want to be priding themselves about with the legal costume do not know that it is a useless profession. That is the only profession where, after graduation, you still wear your academic costume on the street or anywhere you go. In the campuses, to know them is very easy. They wear their wigs and everything.
To know a lawyer is very easy, as if it is a noble profession. There is no nobility in law. They are the worst types of human beings. Today, see what they are doing in Nigeria and in other countries, perverting justice. He who is perverting justice. A senior advocate in pervasion. Tell Me whether he does not know where he is heading to. They know their destination.
You may not go to the university. You may be at home, be a stark illiterate in the hand of the devil and he will make you a professor of pervasion.
Genun did not go to university. I mean Genun, one of the sons of Cain. Did he go to the university to learn evil? The devil trained him while he was at home.
So, you might be a Genun among us, that the devil will lay hand on and instill the spirit of disobedience in you, and then teach you how to invent all forms of evils.
May it never be Me. Let it never be you. But it must be you if you yield to that spirit.
If it is giving you joy that you are winning your cases in telling lies, hear Me. You have not won any case. A case that is determined in falsehood, has it been determined?
So, do not rejoice that your lies are triumphing over truth. The triumph of lie is momentary. After which, it will be unveiled. True or false?
Do not be surprised that one of these days, all these people that are perverting election results, at the end of their tenures must make open confessions and tender apologies to the nation on how they deceived them.
It is like the pope of Rome who came, making open confession and apologies for the evils committed by the Roman Catholics denomination [church] 2000 years ago. So many are going to do it.
… When we choose to walk in His ways and please Him, God will cause us to bear fruit in every good work. … And our fruits will abide.
Colossians 1:10-12 MSG We pray that you’ll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. …
You know what an orchard is? A Vineyard where fruit trees are planted and nurtured. That is what an orchard is. You can recreate one around your premises. You do not plant vegetables there. Only fruit-bearing trees. That is an orchard.
But if you do not take good care of your trees, they will not bear good fruits. So, you must be diligent to know the state of those things you planted. You watch over them with tender jealousy on a daily basis if you want them to bear good fruits.
And when you notice that, in spite of all your efforts, there is still one or two that are not bearing good fruits or are not producing at all, will you be happy with that one? You hew it down straight away. Help that person to perish. You help that person to perish. When you hew it down, it becomes a material for fire. No more. For fire!
So, do not be like a jute bag that travelled with stockfish, smelling like stockfish but there is no stockfish in it.
Jute bag that was used in wrapping stockfish, loaded in a container and then entered the ship from Norway. From Norway, it landed at the wharf of the country of destination. The container was cleared at the wharf and then taken by road all the way to the warehouse of the importer.
At the warehouse, both the jute bag and the content [stockfish] were loaded in the warehouse. Would that make the jute bag to become stockfish?
When the buyers come, some will buy in singles while others will buy in bags. When someone buys in bags, with a knife, the bag with be ripped open and the jute bag given to the woman who will use it to make fire for frying bean cakes [akara], while the person that bought the stockfish will go home with the stockfish only.
No matter how the jute bag smells like the stockfish, will you put it into the pot and cook it as stockfish? But the jute bag embarked on the journey with the stockfish? The jute bag travelled all the way with the stockfish.
It travelled through the air, on the high sea and on land to its final destination, but it did not get the desired reward. The jute bag ended it in the fire.

¹¹I married Nzubechi-SON OF MAN Odoemena. She is My legal wife. My divine wife. And she will remain My legal earthly-divine wife even till eternity. ¹²That is why all My children are divinely orientated. And this is because they came from My loins. I am the Divine Incarnate. I came to restore God’s Family here on earth which was messed up by the devil who appeared to your foster fathers, Adam and Eve, in an apparition and deceived the two and brought about the whole confusions.

-THE SON OF MAN-

ONCE HISTORY IS FORGOTTEN, THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST MUST BE REPEATED Vol. 1; Preached on Sunday, 24^th October, 2021; Chapter 4 verse 11 to 12.

MY FAMILY IS THE STANDARD FOR ALL

So, do not hide yourself in the midst of God’s children using their presence and influence around you as a covering to continue in your evil ways of life. There is a way you will mingle with God’s children for too long and you will be behaving like them when you are not. Is it a lie Brethren?

You may stay in the house of THE SON OF MAN for a long time, and people will start thinking that you are His biological child. And if you know the manner of life of His biological children, you pattern after their lifestyle.
You only behave like them within the area where you are known, but there is a place you will get to and you will showcase your real self. When you reveal your real self, people will start calling on the phone, “Someone just left here who said he is your child. Is he truly your child?”
When I enquire about what the person had done, and I find out that he has lived contrary, I will deny him straight away.
But there is a manifestation that will be reported of the person, so that even before the caller has finished reporting, you have already replied, “That is my child.” Is it a lie Brethren?
So, you are my own, my son and my daughter when you behave as I behave. You behave in a way and manner that is known for My Family, for we have a pattern of life; a pattern of behaviour. We are known for it. You cannot stipulate us to do otherwise.
This is why many of you are having problems dwelling with Me in peace. I am not troublesome. You are the one that is troublesome, for you have stayed too long with your parents in the midst of the Brethren in the Fellowship until we now assumed that you are one of us and that your parents are one of us. But judging by your character, you are too far away from the Kingdom of Heaven.
We could not see Christ in any of you. No matter what we preach, you still pattern yourself after your parents who have not found their feet in the Faith. Will I kill you?
If I am shouting today, I am not shouting because of My biological children. I do not have any infant. I do not have any infant, either infant by age or infant by the things of God. I do not even have spiritual infants.
They know how to possess their vessels in honour. They can control themselves. After all, they have been meeting with everybody. Yet. Holding on to the profession of the Faith without wavering. All those places you are compromising with, they have passed through all of them. Are they living their lives in the sky? They are living here.
Let me tell you the truth. The moment you find it difficult to emulate the lifestyle of My children, I am far away from where you are.
The first step towards nearing THE SON OF MAN begins by nearing the children, watching them, following them because it is easier for you to learn from your fellow students than to learn from the Master.
Do you believe this to be true? Who teaches you better? Is it your lecturers or your fellow students? Do you not know the students that know better than you?
There are students that are very brilliant. Some are even much more brilliant thaN the lecturers.
So, you learn more by your daily interactions with My children than from Me. You have a limit you cannot cross with Me. True or false? You have limitations. Too many limitations.
But with My children, you do not have limitations. You are with them in the backyard, in the kitchen and everywhere, in the market and even on the road. Why should you not learn of them?
So you do not need to begin to ask them “What must I do that I may begin to please THE SON OF MAN.” Behave like My children, and I will adopt you. Straight away! is it not true? Even My children will recommend you. They will be the number one to recommend you.
When My wife was here with us physically, she was the icon. She was the masterpiece. She was the final bus-stop for all women, unless anyone she refers to Me. Some will even jump her and come to Me, but I refer them back, for nobody can understand their plight more than their fellow woman.
Why are they finding it difficult now? Do you see them again. They have all run away because they are all lost. Yes! That which My wife accommodated in them, they know I will not tolerate.
If they had measured up to the standard of My wife, walked according to her ways, they would have been closest to Me now than before. Is it not true?
Take a closer look into this matter. Are you blind? Are you blind? Do you not look around to see?
I am saying that he or she that is evil is afraid of going to the light, lest the Light will expose his or her nudity. Is it a lie? The way it is with the men is the same way it is with the women.
From the time I disbanded this useless, unproductive gathering for which cause they were coming here just to fool themselves, how many have been spiritual enough to say, “It is true that He has disbanded this gathering, but He never said that I should not come to the Lodge? My personal relationship with the son of man will continue unhampered.”
If I disband the gathering and it means “To your tents O Israel”, that is a sign that you were never connected to THE SON OF MAN, for if you were connected, you were connected before the fellowship was formed. Did you get the Message?
You were connected even when there was no fellowship. You established a fellowship with Him. I do not know whether I am making sense.
A true seed of God has an eternal link with God. You were linked with God as an individual. Before you began to identify those who are also linked, you were already linked to God.
So, what brought them here? Those people that are directly linked to God; What brought them to God was not that they were coming to gather for fellowship. They were already in fellowship with Him. I do not know whether you understand what I am saying.
They were in a very good relationship with God before the fellowship was established. The essence of the fellowship is to identify the rest.
But at the end of the day, none of these people that came has a good relationship with God, but because they were mandated to strive to come here every Saturday. Even when he does not have any reason to come, he will strive to come because of what he will eat and drink.
There are too many that have not even seen this gate. They avoided the gate before the gathering was disbanded. People like Shadrach Onah. Do we mention his name in our midst again? We cannot write him again because we have written him.
So it is with many. I do not need to call names here. I do not know the position of Mike Udor. You still call Mike Udor “Brother” when he is smoking his Indian hemp in a remote village where he does not have electricity. He does not have a handset. He does not hear the Messages.
He is only monitoring to know when we are coming to Nsukka. Since his wife is from Nsukka, he will come to our location, eat and drink.
[Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu: “He said that there is no network”]
Yes! Since there is no network around him, does he have any Message? Who sent him back to his hometown?
[Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu: “He sacked himself.”]
Thank you! Of all the effort that was made for him to stay, did he agree to that? Is it not because his sons were being randomly locked up by the police and the vigilante, for they have turned to robbers? When they threatened that they will lock up Mike, he then ran away. Did we send home the person who ran away to avoid being arrested by security operatives?
He then ran to a remote village where there is no electricity supply. No means of communication. No [GSM] network. I have been there. When we were invited, did we not all go there? No network. No electricity. He is completely cut off.
So, our relationship with him now is eating and drinking. Just like we are now preparing for a burial, if he hears about it, he will land there, eat and drink, and then go back to his village and that is the end of fellowship. This is so that any day he dies, you will gather and do for him the same way he has been doing for you. God forbid!
Too many are like that. Even those who are living where there are [GSM] networks; There is electricity. There is GSM networks, but they are not connected to the Faith.
How about those who receive the Messages, but do not download them. They receive but they do not download. Some download, but they do not go through it.
There are too many that have not listened to a particular Message from the beginning till the end. I said it last Saturday here. Almost all the Elders who were privileged to be here echoed, “It is true!”, including John Ekwueme. They were in unison in affirming it to be truth and that they just listen to it a little and drop it under their pillows.
If it is like that among the men, what do you think will be the fate of the women, when you know that when a woman receives it she will just drop her phone inside her handbag and go her way. She will just sling her handbag backward.
We know all of them that are members of the Church. When a salute is sent to the children of God, they will quickly respond as if they are a part of God.
When you see them operating and pressing their phones, you will think that they listen to the Message. They do not use their handset to listen to the Messages. They are rather watching some pictures. There are some other things they are downloading, which gives them sleepless nights.
Many of them spend sleepless night browsing, but without a second to listen to the Message.

If you do not understand this Truth, definitely you are lost. If you do not know what it means to be clothed in God’s own righteousness, it then means you do not know what it means to be clothed in his own perfection. God is our righteous. God is our salvation. God is our redemption. God is our holiness. God is our perfection. He is even our justification and our sanctification. Understand these basic truths. God made the whole thing clear. It is His will that we may know He that is True and we are in He that is true, even THE SON OF MAN. He is the True God and eternal Life.

-THE SON OF MAN-

ARE YOU WALKING WITH GOD OR WALKING ALONE? Preached on Wednesday 12th October 2011 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 17 vs. 7 – 9

YOU MUST UPGRADE AND UPDATE

YOUR KNOWLEDGE

When the Lord’s favour is upon you and me, we will be able to qualify for things that you do not necessarily qualify according to the world’s standard. God will make us soar with wings like an eagle in places where your human qualifications will never take you. Sure!!!

Another thing to note is that it may be difficult to follow the proper steps on your way up. There are so many different kinds of temptations that the devil brings on our way to cause us to stray from the things of God. Like King Solomon, we may start right with God but end up straying from our faith. But God forbid! God forbid!
2 Corinthians 6:1-4, The Message Bible. “Companions as we are in this work with you, we beg you, please don’t squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us. God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; …”
Do not squander it. Do not misuse it.
If you listen to the voice of those counterfeits found in our midst, you will notice that, instead of helping you to do the work, they are only looking for your pitfalls.
If you watch the way they come and assess the spirit when they ask you some questions, you will know that they have not come to be a part of that work. They have come to create problems, for their questions are plain questions in appearance, but enquiries underneath, with the intent to finding fault.
Even if they want to offer suggestions, watch! They are all repressive suggestions; anti-productive suggestions. And there is not even one that is ready to offer a help. They only create problems, without proffering solutions to those problems they create indirectly.
So, when you listen to such people by giving listening ear to whatever they might be saying, with a view to understanding where they are heading to, I bet you, you will go no further. You will not achieve anything.
That is why I give God the praise on the behalf of the few that have volunteered their lives to help Me brave through the odds.
One of our Bishops [Mwantu] was asking a question. He was thanking Me that he got the books that were sent to all of them there. I was there with some Elders.
He said, “Sir, I still marvel that You are still producing books till now. How you are getting the money You are using in production is still a wonder and a mystery to me”.
Bro Chibuko took it up and said, “Thank God for him”. How many books do we produce? And we subsidize it heavily. Yet, people will collect without paying. And we are still giving them the books at the same one thousand naira [₦1,000.00].
Who is complementing the amount? Who is subsidizing it? Check the cost of production. Totaling it amounted to a thousand eight hundred naira [₦1,800.00] just for buying materials only for the production of a copy.
We are not talking of manpower. We are not talking of the wear and tear of the machines or maintenance. We are not talking of energy consumption or fuel and diesel consumption. We are not talking about that.
We are not talking about the overhead cost or the little stipends we pay out to encourage these Brethren, at least, for transportation. They are all excluded from the one thousand eight hundred naira which is the cost of material per copy of a Message.
Who is interested? Yet, the report he gave Me yesterday, amidst his fellow Elders, was that he just collects books normal net worth of over two hundred thousand [>₦200,000.00], and forward them, only to receive sixty thousand naira [₦60,000.00] in return.
I have ordered him. He is going to come here today. He is going to publish the names of all these debtors, and I will give all of them a name from the Scriptures.
Do you know that there are some Local Assemblies that have never picked a Sermon Book since we left GTC? I am talking about Local Assemblies. I do not mean individuals. A whole Local Assembly [and not an individual] has not picked even a copy.
Yet, they are in the Faith of Christ o. I mean, to these people that have faith more than the Faith of the son of man, I say, “Cheers!!! Go ahead!”
Yet, they are running the affairs of their families without God. Whatever they preach there which they call the Word of God is already prophesied in the Bible in the Book of Mark Chapter 7 from verse 6 through 7.
Nobody is updating his Faith or upgrading it. Nobody is updating his knowledge or upgrading his knowledge. When you are not updating and you are not upgrading, you will notice that you are stationary. You are marking time. Is it a lie Brethren?
By upgrading your faith, you can now begin to see that what you were calling the devil at the beginning has turned out to be God now. True or false?
When you embraced the Faith of Christ, you knew only the Bible. Even that Bible, you did not know much about the contents. You were merely carrying the Bible for carrying sake. True or false?
But now, by turning the Bible and listening to God speak through many Ministers, your Faith started growing until you could separate the old from the new. You could separate the law from grace. That is still Bible.
Now, as we journeyed along, you began to come into contact with some other divine books. If the Holy Qur’an was called the Word of God in the beginning, nobody would be in this Faith, for you have already labelled it a blasphemous name, “Alakubar” [a south eastern Nigerian Christian caricature of the misunderstood “Allahu Akbar” which means “God is the Greatest”]
You were even calling them anti-Christ. True or false? Fine! But through the study of the holy writings in the Bible, the Holy Qur’an and others, then your eyes of understanding widened. You began to see a progressively moving God, and that your faith must move progressively, bearing progressive fruits. Is it not true?
Now, you are by far better placed than your fathers who stopped at “Hail Mary! Full of grace. The Lord is with Thee.” Some stopped at “Our Father, Who art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy name.” Some stopped at the Apostles’ creed, “I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and also in trinity.” So, confusion everywhere.
NOBODY IS AS CONFUSED AS ONE THAT HAS REFUSED TO UPGRADE HIS KNOWLEDGE. The moment you refuse to upgrade your knowledge and update your knowledge, you become skeptical of every truth. Is it a lie brethren?
You become highly suspicious of human behaviours, for people act according to their faith, and Faith grows from strength to strength.
There were too many things you were taught in your secondary schools. When you get to the university, you will discover that they were nothing. But when you stop upgrading yourself, you will be marking time with School Cert. [Secondary School Certificate]
Anybody who is in the higher institution, you will be looking at the person skeptically, even if he behaves well. Is it a lie Brethren?
That is why, through the knowledge of the Scriptures, you will notice that there are people whose faith permits them to eat only vegetables. Some eat meat. Some eat Garri. Some eat rice. No matter the one you eat, you will not despise one because he or she does not eat with you.
Some will drink, while some will not drink, but with your elementary knowledge, that one you knew is what you are holding, and that is what you know, you are not growing in knowledge. You are not growing in Faith. You are not growing in virtue. Nothing! You are stunted. You are dwarfed. And these are the people that are creating problems.
Even in every facet of human life, whatever might be your occupation in this life, if you do not upgrade and update your knowledge, sooner than you think, you will be left behind. People will stop patronizing you because you are not improving even on your product. Is it not true?
We improve in character because of encounter and exposure; upgrading of knowledge. When you keep on upgrading your knowledge of the Scriptures; your knowledge of divine books, God becomes clearer than ever.
And the clearer God is to you, the much more confident you become, and the easier it is for you to meet His righteous demands, for those things you thought were impossible before will be very very possible, for it is now that you have mastered what you are doing.
So, in this family, do not ever think that you will come in here to drag us back. No! we are not waiting for you. We are hanging it like I told you. My duty is to hang the doctrines.
Once I hang the doctrine [as I am always ahead of all], it is for those who are desirous of coming with Me. They will climb the ladder. Is it not true?
You do not go to class and remain in that level L.C.M. and H.C.F. when others have started balancing equations ranging from quadratic equations into theorems. Then you begin to mark time at L.C.M. and H.C.F. No No No! Nobody will wait for you. We know you are not going anywhere.
I will hang the doctrine of perfection. I will hang it there and place the ladder by giving you teachings. You will have to climb the rungs of the ladder if you want to meet with Me there.
That is why I remain the icon. I draw closest to you to enable you know what exactly I want from you. I distance Myself from you to enable Me pull you along.
This is because, if I am leading you in a convoy, and I am in front, [1] the distance I will cover will be such that will help us to meet with the time. If I know that you are a lazy driver and that you are very slow, I will give you such a gap that you must fire on before you will meet with Me.
For your sake, I will do all dangerous overtaking, knowing that if you miss Me, you have missed the track. So, in the attempt to catch up with Me, you will speed up. If you refuse to speed up, you know I am not parking and I am not making a U-turn.
Do you wait for anybody on this pilgrim journey to Paradise? You do not wait for anybody. So, if you are left behind, you will be quarrelling with yourself and not with the faith. You are quarrelling with yourself because you have been left behind.
That was why Saint Paul met people who were static and said, “Shame on you! Who has bewitched you? When you ought to be teachers, you still have need that people should be teaching you, even the very oracles and the very elementary doctrines of our faith – baptism in Jesus name, laying of hand, speaking in tongues and things like that. These things you must have known long long time ago.”
He said, “Let us leave these elementary doctrines and go into perfection.” But somebody who has not passed the elementary school, can he or she go to secondary?
You see why you must be serious with God. If you are not serious with what you are hearing from God, forget about eternal life. There should not be food for a lazy man.
What God gave us from the very beginning, He made it clear. We are able Ministers of the New Testament. We are industrious Elders and Ministers, and no lazy ones. If you are lazy, count yourself out of the work of God. A lazy man can never succeed in this Faith. This Faith is not the faith you can approach with a lazy attitude. It is a very challenging Faith – a quick work God has come to do here and to wrap it up in righteousness. And that, he has accomplished.
So, do not think that God is waiting for you. No! God is working with His own time. On that day, you will know whether you were with Him or not.
Remember, everyday brings us closest to that day. What is more? Events ahead of us still suggests that this airplane is going to have a forced landing. You may not understand Me.
Going by the way the economy is crumbling, the rate of inflation worldwide, the rate of unemployment, the rate of insecurity, the rate of hardship, the rate of natural disasters; Brethren, am I making sense at all? Are you following the trend of events? Whatever that is upsetting the economy is upsetting your life and your future.
As at yesterday in Abuja, Nigeria rose from a conference on national emergency management, for the likelihood is still there that Nigeria is still going to have the overflowing of all the banks of all the rivers at a time they will be expecting their dryness.
The whole dams that damaged and led to the destruction of over 20,000 people in Libya. You know the position of Libya in the map of Africa. Libya is close to Egypt. All the waters in those rivers emptied into the Nile. The Nile has emptied itself, not into tributaries, but the mainstream. And you know that the mainstream will wind up in Lokoja. Do you not know what I am saying?
Now, the Futa-jallon highlands, the atlas highlands; look at the Cameroonian mountains. All of them are opening their dams right now. We do not say, open that of Niger, for Niger has already opened it. Otherwise, they will suffer this disaster also.
At the end of it, who is the recipient? Nigeria, from where it will empty into the Atlantic Ocean. So, the lower Niger basin has started experiencing great flooding. Use your handset or tune in the radio, and you will know what is happing in Kogi State right now.
[The Brethren supported the LORD, “Even in Lagos”.]
Oh! Lagos? Thank you!
I am saying that what is ahead of us may cause this airplane to touch the ground forcefully because when it gets to a point that becomes highly insurmountable, instead of continuing to risk the lives of many, it is better it lands and saves the few He has gathered so far.
It will be better to graduate the few students who have made themselves ready than waiting until strike or lockout will come and hinder everybody from graduating. Is it a lie Brethren? I have made a statement which will be a prophecy tomorrow. Thank you!

……The adorning of the Bride is the responsibility of the Bridegroom. I have to dictate the choice of the material you put on. The way I want you to appear is the way you are going to appear. After all you are going to stay with Me, not with any other person. Any other person is a spectator. At the end of the day, you will go home with Me. I have adorned you in a manner that is pleasing to Me. In other words, all these years, God has been aiming at forcing the Bride to agree and submit herself to the point of being completely dependent on the Bridegroom.

ASSURANCE OF SALVATION; Preached on 7^th March 1999 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 36 vs. 42 – 43

REMEMBER YOUR REWARD

2 Corinthians 6:1-4. The Message Bible. “Companions as we are in this work with you, we beg you, please don’t squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us. God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help.

Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped. Don’t put it off; don’t frustrate God’s work by showing up late, throwing a question mark over everything we’re doing. …
What does it mean? Querying everything we are doing when the person is doing nothing. He is not helping us. He is not even interested in knowing what we are doing, but only raising queries in his heart and in his mind, biasing the hearts and minds of others that will like to participate in the work.
… Our work as God’s servants gets validated—or not—in the details. People are watching us as we stay at our post, alertly, unswervingly in hard times, tough times, and bad times. Amen!
Turn with me to this ancient manuscript titled, Testament of Abraham Version 1, Page 7 vs 13. “And Abraham said, My Lord chief-captain, who is this most wondrous judge? And who are the angels that write down? And who is the angel like the sun, holding the balance? And who is the fiery angel holding the fire?
The chief-captain said, Do you see, most holy Abraham, the terrible man sitting upon the throne? This is the son of the first created Adam, [Sure!!!] who is called Abel, whom the wicked Cain killed, and he sits thus to judge all creation, and examines righteous men and sinners. [Sure!!!] For God has said, I shall not judge you, but every man born of man shall be judged.
Therefore he has given to him judgment, to judge the world until his great and glorious coming, and then, O righteous Abraham, is the perfect judgment and recompense, eternal and unchangeable, which no one can alter.
For every man has come from the first-created, and therefore they are first judged here by his son, and at the second coming they shall be judged by the twelve tribes of Israel, every breath and every creature.”
Now let us pay attention and hear what the Chief captain Archangel Michael told our father Abraham about The Almighty God, the third and the last judge in our midst Apostle Peter Odoemena [BBHMHN], the Son of Man, when our father Abraham was taken to Heaven;
“But the third time they shall be judged by the Lord God of all, and then, indeed, the end of that judgment is near, and the sentence terrible, and there is none to deliver.
And now by three tribunals the judgment of the world and the recompense is made, and for this reason a matter is not finally confirmed by one or two witnesses, but by three witnesses shall everything be established.
The two angels on the right hand and on the left, these are they that write down the sins and the righteousness, the one on the right hand writes down the righteousness, and the one on the left the sins.
The angel like the sun, holding the balance in his hand, is the archangel, Dokiel the just weigher, and he weighs the righteousnesses and sins with the righteousness of God.
The fiery and pitiless angel, holding the fire in his hand, is the archangel Puruel, who has power over fire, and tries the works of men through fire, and if the fire consume the work of any man, the angel of judgment immediately seizes him, and carries him away to the place of sinners, a most bitter place of punishment.
But if the fire approves the work of anyone, and does not seize upon it, that man is justified, and the angel of righteousness takes him and carries him up to be saved in the lot of the just. … Every man’s works shall be revealed by fire. And thus, most righteous Abraham, all things in all men are tried by fire and the balance.”
JOHN 5:24-29, The Message Bible. “It’s urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. [Amen!!!] This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living. [Amen!!!]
“It’s urgent that you get this right: The time has arrived—I mean right now!—when dead men and women will hear the voice of the Son of God and, hearing, will come alive.
Just as the Father has life in himself, he has conferred on the Son life in himself. And he has given him the authority, simply because he is the Son of Man, to decide and carry out matters of Judgment.
“Don’t act so surprised at all this. The time is coming when everyone dead and buried will hear his voice. Those who have lived the right way will walk out into a resurrection Life; those who have lived the wrong way, into a resurrection Judgment. Amen!!!
For this, then, the first-created Adam rejoices, because he sees the souls being saved. But when he sees many souls entering through the broad gate, then he pulls out the hairs of his head, and casts himself on the ground weeping and lamenting bitterly, for the broad gate is that of sinners, which leads to destruction and eternal punishment.
And for this, the first-formed Adam falls from his throne weeping and lamenting for the destruction of sinners, for they are many that are lost, and they are few that are saved, for in seven thousand there is scarcely found one soul saved, being righteous and undefiled. 1 out of 7,000! Is it not so?
Surah 39:65-75. And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), as it was to those (Allah’s Messengers) before you: “If you join others in worship with Allah, (then) surely, (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers.”
Nay! But worship Allah (Alone and none else), and be among the grateful. Do not compromise your faith. They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified and Exalted is He above all that they associate as partners with Him! …
… “Did not the Messengers come to you from yourselves, reciting to you the verses of your Lord, and warning you of the Meeting of this Day of yours?” They will say: “Yes”, but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers!”
It will be said (to them): “Enter you the gates of Hell, to abide therein.
And (indeed) what an evil abode of the arrogant!” And those who kept their duty to their Lord (Al-Muttaqun) will be led to Paradise in groups till when they reach it, and its gates will be opened (before their arrival for their reception) [Amen!!!] and its keepers will say: Salamun ‘Alaikum (peace be upon you)! You have done well, so enter here to abide therein.” Amen!!!
Saints of God, we know that these Holy writings are not stories, because we have seen and heard how it fulfilled during the departure of the Queen of Paradise, Late Mummy Nzubechukwu Joy Odoemena of blessed memory.
Before her arrival to that glorious gate, she heard a glorious voice roaring everywhere because there was a voice that roared, “BEHOLD THE WOMAN!” Everywhere, it was one voice, “ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA!” Everywhere! What a wonderful reception we are all praying should be accorded to us at the end. Amen. The Woman of Subsequent Creation.
Whether men are pleased or displeased, or how they judge of you, or what they call you, it should seem a small matter to you. [Sure!!!] You are not living for them. You can bear their displeasure, censures, and reproaches, if God be, but pleased. These will be your evidences. Fine!
Let us not aim at paying God back with evil after He has blessed and answer our prayers. Because man is fond of deserting God after gaining his selfish desires and purpose which is not eternal life and at the end of the day coming back to God with sorrows and anguish.
… “Are those who know equal to those who know not?” No! It is only men of understanding who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allah’s Signs and Verses). Amen!
… If you are a true seed of God in this Most Holy Faith at a time like this, there is no way you would dedicate your time truthfully to studying, praying and obeying without having permanent changes both spiritually and physically in your life. … That is pure truth!
… For God is always there to lend a helping hand if He sees the willingness and readiness in me and in you! … Amen! … Live in every way that Glorifies God. … Sure!
… We please Him by being fruitful in character, ministry, and everyday living. He is also pleased if we keep learning about Him and doing His will.
… If God says, “You belong to Me”, why not begin to rejoice? … Sure!!!
… I DO NOT BELIEVE I WILL HAVE A REGRETTABLE CREATURE…. Never!
… We also make God happy and glad by how we respond to His answers to our prayers,… Amen!
… THE MORE YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, THE MORE YOU ARE BEING SET FREE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS TRUTH, YOU WILL REMAIN IN BONDAGE TO FALSEHOOD. That is truth! THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE SAID YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. Sure and certain!
… IF I SAY I WANT TO LIVE FOR MYSELF, I AM LIVING FOR THE DEVIL,… That is truth! …FOR THERE ARE TWO SPIRITS THAT GOVERN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN [1] THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, AND [2] THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL. TRUE OR FALSE? True!
Saints and true Elects of God! I believe with all my heart that all the benefits of pleasing and making God glad always that we have considered in this epistle, are capable of igniting someone out there unto good works. Sure!!!
Let this be a morale booster to us all, to awake from our sleeping for the night is far spent. There is fire on the mountain, let’s run for our safety. Amen! Amen!
In conclusion saints of God, “This matter is not negotiable. There is fire on the mountain. …” Amen!
… If you are following the Spoken Word, it is clear. If you are following the words of men, the tradition of your elders, man-made rules, the doctrine of your Church contrary to God’s word, it is very very clear. Very clear!
… You are either for Christ or you are not for Christ. There is no half way about it. At all!
… “In the last days there will be people who don’t take these things seriously anymore. … That is truth! … They’ll treat them like a joke, and make a religion of their own whims and lusts.” Sure!!!
But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit; Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)–[which will bring you] unto life eternal.
Rising higher and higher means updating your knowledge; updating your spiritual life. Keep on upgrading your yourself. You can never fold your arms and then achieve that height God has fixed for all of us.
There is a spiritual height all of us must get to. And that is the perfect stature of the perfect man. Until we all attain that stature, there is no hope for anybody. Anything less, God does not recognize it. Anything above, God cannot recognize it.
Can any man be so over spiritual that he is more spiritual than Christ? Can you be more spiritual than Christ? Is it ever mentioned?
To God be the glory! On this note, I say, may Allah bless and help us in such a way that we will continue to live our daily lives, conducts and character in accordance with what we have heard from Him, and live in a way that will please and make our Lord the Son of Man Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN) glad with us always! Amen. Remain blessed in Him Eternally Saints of God.
Brother Wisdom James-Gambo; Essen Household of God, Kaduna State. Dated: 01 September 2023.
Fine! We give God the glory. Iron sharpeneth iron. Now, you vacate. Our Evangelist, Chibuikem will be there to handle that one I placed there. He will handle it. Iron sharpeneth iron.
Remember, he has made his own icon known to you. He quoted the Message handled by our Bishop Joe Ukpong of the Household of God at Akwa-Ibom.
How many heard that name? Good! And immediately he mentioned that name and the Message, I marked him good. He quoted where the Bishop quoted where he is fixing his eyes, saying that he will rest at nothing until he has become a perfect replica [image] of THE SON OF MAN in all spheres.
Our Bishop Joe Ukpong said and I quote, “The Word of God must have an impact in the life of a child of God, why, because the child of God is checking himself on a daily basis. I will not rest till I have seen the character of The Son of Man, till I have seen that life of The Son of Man in me, fully manifested. Then I can stand anywhere and say, it is no longer I that liveth, but The Son of Man that liveth in me. Do not relax until you come to that point.” From the Message, DO NOT ACT THOUGHTLESSLY preached on 20TH NOVEMBER 2020 by BISHOP JOE UKPONG Pg. 115 vs. 27-28.
And God has helped him. He has achieved it already. That is why he is one of the icons that are still on the move, age notwithstanding; family troubles notwithstanding; hardship notwithstanding. Oh! no! All we read here.
If you are serving God when all around you is well, you are flourishing in health, you are flourishing with food and shelter, you have not started serving God.
You serve God diligently, honestly in health and even in sickness. You serve Him in wealth and in plenty, even in the time of hardship and in the time of troubles. In your land or in a strange land, God is never strange to you.
There are some people who when they cross the boundaries where they are known, they will cease to be children of God. They will be mingling and acting with the people they meet over there.
It is found especially among our students that do not know what this Faith is all about. They are just attending Fellowship for the sake of self-gratification. May be as we journey along, we will be receiving one thing or the other from THE SON OF MAN or from the Brethren. You have not even considered eternal life.
Until eternal life becomes your target, you have missed the essence of sending the son of man in your day, for the only thing He promised to give everybody is eternal life. Any other thing, you can get it from different sources, but not eternal life.
So, whatever that is giving you joy, encouragement and comfort outside the knowledge that “Now you possess eternal life”, begin to have a rethink. Reconsider your stand.
