You must have your own opinion about these Messages. Holding the book without going through them profits you nothing. Rather, the content may turn out to be your condemnation at the end. God has given us the dress. We have to dress ourselves. Do we believe that? The essence of the Son of Man is to give you the dress and the dress is the Word of God. You have to cloth yourself. Do you believe that? The Bride is clothed with the Word of God and the Word of God is the righteousness of the Bride for the Word is God Himself.

THE RIGHTEOUS BRANCH REMAINS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS [1]OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE Part 2; Preached during morning altar on Wednesday 29th July, 2020 at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe; Anambra State, Nigeria; by Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man. Chapter 1 from verse 18.

¹⁸Even in His own land and among His own people, the Jews, he was not accepted. ONLY A FEW WOULD WELCOME AND RECEIVE HIM. BUT TO ALL WHO RECEIVED HIM, HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD. ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS TO TRUST HIM TO SAVE THEM. [John 1:11- 12 LB]
When he will be revealed in the fashion of the Gentile in the Gentile world, do you think the Gentiles will easily acknowledge Him Whom they knew not?
That is why it is easier for the Jews to recognize Him Whom they missed due to unbelief in His first appearing. Are you surprised as to why Israel is ranking 3^rd in the websites? Even this last week, watch Israel there.
For nobody will introduce the God of the Jews to any Israeli. He is known for one thing. And that was the one thing they demanded from the LORD Jesus Christ Who told them that He is the One, and that except they accepted that He is the One, they will die in their sins.
They said no, but that they have seen Him performing many signs and wonders and miracles of all sorts; But concerning His generosity and His good deeds, they said they condemn Him not, but they needed only one thing.
And they said, “Show us a sign that we may believe that you are what you claim to be. You cannot tell us that the dead resurrected. Before you were born, Prophets were here causing the dead to resurrect. You cannot tell us that that the dumb spoke. It happened before you were born. You cannot tell us that the lame walked. It happened before you were born. We have not seen any strange thing you have done which never happened in the ministries of the Prophets before your mother conceived you. Show us a sign.”
He knew what that sign could be. He shrank and said, “Okay, since you are demanding that ‘A Sign’, I tell you of a truth, you will not see any other sign except the sign of Jonas. And when you will exalt THE SON OF MAN, you will know actually that I am He.”
Today’s English says, “When you murder or kill Him by crucifying Him on the cross, so that the will of the Father concerning Him might be fulfilled, then you will acknowledge Him to be your God when you will see Him alive again talking to you.”
Did it fulfill? It fulfilled. Caiaphas resigned from the office. The Jews bowed down, but He could not stay with them, for He had another sheep out there which he must bring into the same Flock, so that there will be One Flock, One Shepherd.
He then told them, “I am crossing over to where you cannot come. I am going to a place you cannot come.” They began to think He was going to commit suicide. Some said He was going to fly into the heavens.
But He knew they were erring not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God, for they forgot one thing which he told them when He said that he has a people out there that was not of the same flock.
And that he must of a necessity be there to bring them and to unite them so that the two sticks might be one.
They forgot that when they migrated from Egypt, some went to Canaan, while some followed the Nile valley from Egypt down to the Lower Niger Basin. The two tribes, Ephraim and Manasseh, from where we can trace the Hebrews in Africa.
Igbo is a mispronunciation of HEBREW Just like the white man calls Oka Etiti, “Awka tie-tie”. I do not want to go there. I have taught you there.
If you do not have the gene of that lineage, there is no way you can recognize Who I am.
He said, “You Ephraim, from the time you joined yourself with the Gentiles, you have become idolaters with your descendants. So it is with Manasseh. Ephraim you forgot you are My first son. Since I cast you away, My stomach has never rested. How can I forsake My own?”
He said, “If it is possible for the course of a river to be reversed, know ye that I have forsaken Ephraim.”
What happened? He migrated to a place where there was enmity between them and the Jews, for before then, enmity existed between the Jews and the Gentiles.
Pay attention. The Jews were given the Torah, while the gentiles were given Faith. And the prophets foretold, “The days cometh when the Almighty will justify the Gentiles by faith and no longer by the observance of the laws of Moses.”
“Then in that same place where it was said, ‘They were not My people’, it shall be said, ‘They are the people of the Most High God’, for Christ came to break the enmity between the Jews and the Gentiles. There reconciling the two, that the two sticks might be one.” One God. One Flock. One Shepherd. To God be the Glory.
Do you know that without THE SON OF MAN, all of you will be busy dying while trying to observe the 10 Commandments of Moses? True or false?
Is there any denomination or any religion that does not observe it? Even if they do not obey, they teach the necessity of obeying it. True or false?
And then, how do you think that they are in God’s plan of salvation? This is because they teach the necessity and observe those useless and outdated laws God cancelled long long time ago. Why? Because they were weak. They were unprofitable. They were carnal.
They cannot be helped by this altar – the new altar God has established. The Bible said we have an altar where those who have continued to obey the laws of Moses can never be helped. Amen.
Let no man condemn you by all those nonsenses. They were shadows of the things to come. And the real thing is with us. Did you get the Message?
He gave you the Ministry of Reconciliation. Is it not true? God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not inputting their sins upon them, but instead restoring them in mercy.
2 Corinthians 5:19-20, AMP. ¹⁹It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favour with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favour).
²⁰So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favour [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.
You can see it there. Then what can we say to all these things. If God is for us, who can be against us? He foreknew you. He called you. He justified you and placed you in right standing with Himself. And then warned you to remain where He placed you. Amen.
SONG: [When we walk with the LORD in the Light of His Word, what a glory he sheds on our way. While we do His good will, He abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in the LORD, but to trust and obey.]
SONG: [On Christ the solid Rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.
When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne]
Always be found in Him, not having your own attained self-righteousness, but be dressed in the righteousness of Christ. That is why, till eternity, the LORD will remain the righteousness of the Saints. Do you believe that to be true?
The righteous branch revealed in your day remains your righteousness. If you trust and obey, you are absolved completely in His own immunity. You enjoy the immunity of Christ by obeying Him and by walking according His Commands and precepts. Anything contrary, you lose your immunity.
And when immunity is lost, judgment follows. The angels will put you into protective custody, awaiting the day you will be finally judged and executed for losing that immunity.
Then you become one of those angels who could not keep their former estate because they were attracted by the devil’s alluring materialism. And when they followed, they could not get it and they could not get eternal life. They lost both. They lost both.
Watch all we disfellowshipped and all that pulled out. What have they gotten from the devil who seduced them away? Absolutely nothing. Even the little they had has vanished. Is it not an encounter with God? Has He not left another experience for them?
Experience varies. It can be a good experience. It can be a bad experience. If you had experience with God due to your disobedience, it will leave something behind. Am I making sense?
Many have had their experiences in a negative way because of their stupidity, arrogance, stubbornness and ignorance, Ignorance means not knowing the consequences of their actions or utterances; not knowing how God is taking their behaviours. It may be light in your eyes, but very great in the eyes of the Almighty.
You may be thinking that God has forsaken or forgotten. Wait until the day he will call you to question. He will bring you to remembrance.
Why is it so? He is swift in taking records. And He is the best of all the planners. You know what you are planning. You know what you are thinking either about God or your fellow human beings, but what God is planning and thinking about you, that one eludes your knowledge. You cannot peep into it.
That is why I warn you: be very careful the way you look at the face of the Masquerade, for the eyes the Masquerade uses to look at you are not the ones you are seeing outside. Did you get the Message?
The Masquerade uses the sixth eye. The sixth eye is Faith. The sixth eye. Naturally speaking, every mask is constructed with openings that will fit the eyes of the wearer. That is one.
The wearer has two eyes so that he could see through the mask. True or false?
Then He that is inside the wearer, Who is the true Being is the Man behind the veil. He that gave you eyes, does He not have eyes? He gave you mouth. Does He not have mouth.
What do you use your own for? That is what he uses His own for. Have you gotten the Message now? If you are a man, He is a man in like passion [like you]. Let Me stop there. Amen.
¹⁸Even in His own land and among His own people, the Jews, he was not accepted. ONLY A FEW WOULD WELCOME AND RECEIVE HIM. BUT TO ALL WHO RECEIVED HIM, HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD. ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS TO TRUST HIM TO SAVE THEM. [John 1:11- 12 LB]
Our former Teacher, Watson Fihala, formerly of the Household of God, Jos prophesied it while he was in our midst in the Message titled LEADERSHIP. And another one titled ENQUIRE and which late Goddy Ikechebelu titled “Inquery”.
He said that he was pitying the Igbo race. He said that maybe God has decided to punish the Igbo race by revealing Himself using one of them.
He said that it is easier for them in the northern states and other states to acknowledge Him because of the deity they have proved to be in Him. It will be easier for them than the Igbo people.
Moreso, the Igbos do not respect their kings, for they do not have kings. Every Igbo man is a king. Kingship causes controversy in Igbo land. So they do not know how to respect leaders and rulers. They do not obey them. Sometimes, they overthrow them.
But it is not so among them in the north and in the west. The “Obas” and the “Emirs” command great influence among the people in so much that when they speak on a matter, it is final.
He said, “Can you imagine? The whole of Kano, as an emirate, respects only one man, the Emir of Kano with over 48 local governments.”
But he said that the whole of the Benins respect the Oba of Benin. So it is everywhere. He said that with the Alake of Abeokuta, who are you to open your mouth. It is same with the Alaafin of Oyo and his counterpart in Ilorin.
Now, watch what the Bible said there. You will notice that in Israel, they do not have kings. They do not respect their kings. Rebellion against kingship started in Israel. Toppling kingship started in Israel.
If you doubt Me, go to the Chronicles of the kings of Israel as recorded in the Books of First Kings and Second Kings and you will be convinced.
So if what is happening in your area is having semblance with what is happening among the Jews, do you need a prophet to tell you who you are? Travel out!
When you are very wicked, we call you a Jew. As wicked as a Jew. A Jew man. A heartless man.
Here in Nigeria today, what do we call Igbo people? If you say you are a Jew, you are wicked. You are heartless. You do not have brotherly heart. You can kill your brother because of money.
You can topple your leaders because when you get rich, you topple a poor king and then dethrone him immediately.
In Igbo land, what speaks is money. And when money speaks truth is silenced. That is what is prevailing in Israel even till today. The Jews are known for that. They are a very controversial set of people.
That is why there was a record in the Book of Esther, and that it is not in the best interest of the king to accommodate them, for they are a stubborn people.
Even God the Almighty Who is their own God said, “You are a stubborn people, stiff-necked and wicked.” A people that are always unbending. He stretched out His hands to redeem a rebellious people.
That was why Moses suffered greatly in their hands. David suffered. Everybody suffered. Can you imagine a people that came out one day and said that they do not want Samuel? Give us a King like other nations.
They rejected Samuel. Samuel was surprised and said, “You rejected me?” They said, “Go and sit down. Give us a young fellow who will be leading us to war like other nations.” Today, are you surprised?
See what is happening in Nigeria. “We need a younger generation.” That was what they desired until God gave them Rehoboam, the son of Jeroboam who instituted the counsel of the youths, and despised the counsel of the Elders.
He told the people, “My father flogged you six strokes. I will flog you twenty-four. You were cultivating the land at the rate one hectre per person. In my reign, one man will cultivate 10 hectres for me. Refuse to do it and die.”
He doubled their punishments. The elders looked at themselves. And he said, “Do not be dismayed. I will be flogging you publicly. With my hand, I will flog you while you are lying down.”
The elders looked at themselves and said, “This young king.” Youthful king with youthful exuberance. The Bible said that he surrounded himself with his youthful advisers like himself. Birds of the same feather.
The youths advised him to do wrongly. Because their advice favoured him, he dished out those instructions. By the time he finished his oratory, the elderly men stood up, “To your tents O Israel. What inheritance do we have again in the house of Jesse or in the house of David? Let him rule himself, not us.” So, during his reign, many things happened. Amen.
If you hear the way Nigerians are orchestrating the need for the youth to become the president of this nation, you can hardly believe that our youth are equally as corrupt as the ancient ones. Like the fathers, as the children. They are all gunning for that seat for one major reason. To control the national cake. No more. No less. Amen.
Go to France and see what is happening in France because of Emmanuel Macron. You will hate youth leadership. Amen.
¹⁸Even in His own land and among His own people, the Jews, he was not accepted. ONLY A FEW WOULD WELCOME AND RECEIVE HIM. BUT TO ALL WHO RECEIVED HIM, HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD. ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS TO TRUST HIM TO SAVE THEM. [John 1:11- 12 LB]
¹⁹Even 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. [Hebrews 9:28 AMP] Amen.
Let Me ask this question. I want you to entertain this question as individuals now. I do not know why it is passing across My mind.
WHICH ONE IS BETTER? TO HAVE A NEW MAN IN A NEW BADGER SKIN OR AN OLD MAN IN A NEW BADGER SKIN, WHICH ONE IS BETTER. Answer before he will continue.
Bro Chiemelie: My answer is: An old man in a new badger skin.
Bro FearGod: It is better to have a new man in a new badger skin.
A Sister: To have an old man in a new badger skin.
Bro Clifford: To have an old man in a new badger skin.
Man and woman! You can never be neutral. If you do not talk, I will supply your own.
Pastor Wisdom:It is better to have an old man in a new badger skin.
You see what I am asking now. Pay attention very well. Hear Me very well: TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCED MAN IN A NEW BADGER SKIN and to have an inexperienced man in a new badger skin, which one is better?
ALL THE BRETHREN: An experienced man in a new badger skin.
Thank you! I say, thank you! You have answered very well. You have answered very well, for God changes His dress, and remaineth the same God. He does not change. He only changes His dress. The same old Person
If you know Him from the very beginning, you will identify Him now. That is why only those who have walked and talked with Him can echo Amen spiritually and physically, and stand firm, for they have known Him Who existed from the very beginning. Unto them is the Word of salvation sent. Amen.
²⁰BELIEVE HE IS THE TRUE ONE; LISTEN TO HIM AND DO WHATSOEVER HE ASKS YOU TO DO. THEN, YOU CLAIM YOUR RIGHT WHICH IS IMMORTALITY.
Have you seen it? Simple! Believe He is the true one; listen to Him and do whatsoever He asks you to do. Then you claim your right which is immortality.
Time Bomb!
²¹IMMORTAL BODY IS THE RIGHT OF EVERY TRUE WORSHIPPER. Immortal body is the right of every true worshipper. A TRUE BELIEVER AND A TRUE WORSHIPPER; THE TWO MUST GO TOGETHER.
Yes! You must be a true worshipper and a true believer. Is that not true? The two must go together.

I do not know where you think you can hide yourself. I published the Message titled “Mixed Multitude” in the interest of those who joined along the way, so that they will see the extent God went at the very beginning to separate us from every sign of unbelief and compromise. If not for what God is doing in these last days, at this closing hour in the history of the Bride, many had already concluded that God has left the Son of Man, that the Son of Man is only making noise.

JUDGMENT DAY IN THE CAMP; Preached on 18^th January 2009 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 63 vs. 35

IT IS NOT THE WAY YOU SEE IT BUT THE WAY CHRIST SEES IT

Let it be known to you that you can never take what you are hearing or reading very seriously, when you have not recognized by divine revelation, He that you are having dealings with.

The Source! The Source! And it is coming from no less a Personality than the Supreme Deity. The Man behind the veil. Look away from the flesh, for the flesh may be a new badger skin, but the Voice is the Voice of the Ancient of Days.
If you do not have the revelation, whatever you are reading, whatever you are hearing, you will never take it seriously.
That is the reason the Lord said and I quote; “Do not allow the thing to get out of your mind. Whatever you call your belief that is your faith. And your belief is the way you see things. You cannot see things contrary to your belief”.
You cannot see things contrary to your belief. This is to let you see that you have your belief. That is why we kept hearing the Voice. When He appeared on the face of the earth, He told us, “You do not have My Faith yet.”
That is what He came to introduce. Therefore, once you do not have the faith of Christ, you cannot see things the way Christ sees things.
He looks at people’s faces and declares before them, “You do not belong to Me. You do not belong to Me. You can belong to Onitsha Fellowship, but you do not belong to THE SON OF MAN. I am not sent for you.”
If you happen to be one of such people that have been privileged to receive this type of Voice, what will you say? What will be your condition?
He said, “Waste not your time going there. I have no soul there.” Many have heard it. They are just following believing that whatever they will see in the end, they will take. Many have heard, “You are not Mine.”
No matter how Lot behaved himself in the upright way, received the angels, the only thing he got was that God used him to establish two nations – Ammon and Moab.
Take note of what I am saying. Concerning the Covenant, leave it there. Leave it there.
Therefore, once you do not have the faith of Christ, you cannot see things the way Christ sees things. You will continue seeing things contrary because you are still holding to your own faith…
Faith has eyes. That is why it has a long range vision. If you do not have eyes, you cannot have vision.
You will continue seeing things contrary because you are still holding to your own faith [the way you see things], which is your faith and not the faith of Christ. Sure!
Number one reason The Son of Man is sent, is to reveal the faith of Christ that is missing upon the earth. If you do not receive and accept the revealed faith of The Son of Man, you cannot and will never see things as He the Almighty Father sees things and reason as He reasons.
IMMORTALITY, REINCARNATION, ADOPTION AND COMPLETE SALVATION. Preached by The Son of Man on 20th April 2003 page 111 verse 14.
Brethren search out that Message. It is in the other library.
¹⁴Now, it is not your belief that counts, it is not the way you are seeing it that counts,…
It is not your belief that counts. So that means every human being has something he believes. Yes! It is not your belief that counts.
You are entitled to your belief the same way you are entitled to your opinion about Me, about God and about His promises.
…it is not the way you are seeing it that counts. What matters is the way God sees it. If you see it in a different way from God, no matter how it sounds good to you, you are wrong because whatever you call your belief which is your faith, if it does not agree with the revealed faith of God in your day, you are wrong no matter how you cherish it. Sure!
I want you to rest on what we have heard and remember that He said in the message we read: Believe Him, do what He says. That is when you have the right to claim the eternal life.
Remember what His mother in the Bible said to the servants, “Whatever He tells you to do, do it”. And she left them. And the servants obeyed. Whatever He told them to do, they did it. Was there any result? Sure!
A new wine better than the former one. A new life. Better than the old life.
Evidently, everybody saw the difference. So what we are talking about is that it is not what you think that matters. When God is telling you what to do, you will be doing it in your own way. Chikaity! It cannot please Him.
It is the way He said it, that is what you should do. You do it! Are you hearing it? That is all. And that is what is going to produce the result.
And this is where exactly all human troubles emanate. Every man trying to have his own way simply because the instruction does not sink well with you. It runs contrary to your own thinking and your own opinion. For that reason, you find it difficult even to implement it.
What causes it? You have not even for one day tried to subscribe to the Source of that instruction. Every instruction must have a source. THE SOURCE OF EVERY INSTRUCTION IS THE AUTHORITY BEHIND IT. THERE CAN NEVER BE ANY INSTRUCTION WITHOUT AUTHORITY. TRUE OR FALSE?
So, when you do not know the Source, to flout it, to replace it or to substitute it with your own idea is very easy. And that is where you will run into difficulty with the Almighty God.
Cast you mind back. If you look at the reason given by King Saul, “The enemies encompassed us about, ready to capture our soldiers alive, and there is no way we can go to war without enquiring of the LORD. We cannot set the LORD aside and go to war. We have never done that. He has always been the Man behind our victory in all our wars.
Seeing that Samuel who travelled out and said he is coming back on the fortieth day is yet to come back, and today is the fortieth day; seeing the enemies surging towards us, do we confront them without knowing the mind of God?
Please bring the Ark of God here. Give me the turtle dove. Although I am king, in the absence of the priest, I will perform the right. Let us enquire of the LORD. Let me kill it and spill the blood upon the Ark. ‘LORD LORD! Do you want us to go to war with the Philistines? Shall we defeat?’”
While he was still talking and pouring his libations, Samuel appeared. He stood still and speechless when he heard the question, “O king Saul, what have you done?”
Saul replied, “We waited for you but we could not see you. See the enemies everywhere.”
Samuel queried him further, “Is that so? Is today not the fortieth day I promised? Am I not here? How dare you prefer sacrifice to obedience? How dare you swap offices? Who ordained you a high priest to render this sacrifice? Now that you have done it, can you tell us the LORD’s reply?”
This is because God did not listen to him. God gave him no reply. Samuel then said, “Because you have done this abomination before the LORD, your kingdom will be removed from you with effect from now.”
He walked away and the foolish king never knew the awful implication of the shirt – the clothe – of a high priest. Saul stretched his hand and tore a part of the garment.
Samuel said to him, “As you have done it to this clothe, so will others remove the kingdom from you and your dynasty forever and ever.” And so it happened. The dynasty left.
Till today, there is nobody from that particular lineage that has ruled Israel, not even Ishbosheth.
If you do it saying you are obeying Him but doing it in your own style, you have failed. Is that not true?
Do you know that judging that act from the human angle, he [Saul] was right? There was no selfishness attached to it. He was not trying to gain prominence or to replace Samuel. I mean, if you were there, would you not be reasoning this way?
But if you belong to God, you do not need to reason for anything is good because God said it is good. No interpretation. It is bad because God said it is bad.
Can you imagine that God gave instruction that no human being born of a woman should spill the blood of a fellow Israeli. And they said amen. Whosoever that does that should be killed. They said amen.
That same day, a young man went to the field to fetch firewood to prepare food which he will eat, lest he will die. He was caught in the farmland and was brought before Moses.
Moses enquired of the LORD, “What do we do to this young man?” He said, “Kill him!” They stoned him to death.
Look at another one. An Israeli also on the same day committed fornication with a strange fellow there where they were crying because of the evil they committed in the land of Baal-peor. This young man committed another one.
Moses enquired of he LORD, “This man killed an Israeli and killed a woman. Before our eyes, he used a spear and killed the two. What do we do to this young man? Do we allow him to go?”
God said, “Because Phinehas had the gut to do this contrary to My Word, it will become his righteousness throughout His generations.”
WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL BE MY RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE GOD?
God said, “Touch not My anointed. Do My Prophet no harm.” And the Prophet came and told the young man, “Slap me!” the young man said, “How can I stretch my hand upon the LORD’s anointed Prophet? God forbid! Do I not know what the law said. ‘Touch not my anointed. Do my Prophet no harm.’ So sir, please, have me excused.”
Another one came and he said, “Slap me!” That one looked at him, being a Prophet, gave him a slap on the cheek and wounded him.
Then he declared, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, to you young man that refused to carry out my instruction of slapping me, hear the Voice of Jehovah your God. As you step out there, a lion will devour you so that all Israelites will obey me at first Voice.”
Did you get the Message. SO SHALL ALL ISRAELIS LEARN TO OBEY ME AT FIRST VOICE. OBEY THE FIRST VOICE. SECOND ONE IS YOUR OWN WILL.
IF GOD GIVES YOU THE FIRST VOICE AND YOU REFUSE, HE WILL ALLOW YOU TO MAKE YOUR SUGGESTION. HE WILL ENDORSE IT FOR YOU.
He gave Lot where he should go, but Lot refused and brought a suggestion. God endorsed it. And he suffered it till today.
Know when God is giving you the desire of your heart as a permissive will and when you are obeying God at first Voice. Thank you!
Let us hear our Lord in another Message, IF YOU KNOW THE VALUE OF GOLD, PRESERVE IT; Preached by The Son of Man on 12th August 2012; Page 83 verse 45.
I think we have heard from what the Lord said. That it is not the way you see it, it is the way God sees it. It is not what you want, it is what He wants.
⁴⁵Look at 2008, the Message said that any day you will have the complete revelation of the Personality you are having dealings with, surely; you will scramble for Him the way you scramble for your daily food Has it not come to pass? It has come to pass. Any day!
Any day you [as an individual] have your own personal [not collective] revelation which is not “Brother said” or “Daddy said” or “Mummy said”, [no no no!] But personal revelation – your own revelation. Any day!
Once you have the revelation of who The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena is, I say you will scramble for Him like you scramble for your food. This is because if you are hungry, you will be looking for food.
There is nobody that knows the importance of The Son of Man that does not keep asking questions after every Fellowship to know if there is any Message from Mount Zion, the voice of God studio. Amen!
How long will it take to have this personal revelation? How many years will you stay or walk with Him before you have this personal revelation? The answer is obvious. ONE SECOND! I say, ONE SECOND ENCOUNTER WITH HIM IS ALL YOU NEED.
You may walk with Him all your life without having a second encounter with the Man behind the veil. Do you believe that?
You may walk with Him from the beginning of your life till the day you will die here on earth, eat and drink with Him, do and have everything in common with Him. Yet, you know Him not.
My people do not know Me. That is why wise people pray that God will reveal Himself to them to enable them know exactly Who He is.
And He told us, “Introducing Who I am will not be in a single statement or in a passage. It is not something that can be done with while preaching. It is an experience you, as an individual, will have with Me as you journey with Me, one step at a time. For every step, your Faith must measure up and I will give that one which will help you at that stage.”
The LORD Jesus looked at the disciples. They never had the faith to believe the revelation of the whole truth.
He shirked and told them clearly, “I have too many things I would have revealed to you, but seeing that you do not have faith to bear them, I will go My way.
Nevertheless, I am commending and committing you into the hands of one who will come after Me, Whom My Father will send to you in My Name. When He comes, He will guide and lead you into the knowledge of all the truth, and reveal to you things that are yet to come for He will never speak of His own accord.
Whatever He heareth from Me, he will give it to you. He will not be a stranger among you, for He will be drawn from among you – one of you.” Amen.
If the LORD Jesus had accomplished the mission then, why are we here? Why are we preaching? Everybody would have been rejoicing in Paradise or heaven. If he had given us that rest, we would not be talking about another rest. Is it not true?
Hebrews Chapter 4 explains it very well. A day of rest is still awaiting us. Hebrews 4:8, KJV. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
So let us believe God. And then wait for the fulfilment of the Promise. Moreso, when you yourselves have become partakers and witnesses of the greatest of all the promises gradually lining up, and which will culminate into being like Him.
That thing which the Prophets foresaw in their visions has been made real, hidden since all those Ages. Now, it is revealed to you.
And William Branham said that any little group of people that will be privileged to worship Him in spirit and in truth, and he reveals Himself in human form standing on two feet, confirmed and vindicated by the supernatural, especially the Cloud in the form of the Rainbow, that is the little group that is slated for the translation.
He said, “Try to be in that little number. Try to be in that little number. In the last days, Christ will appear in human form in the midst of the Bride in His own Church. But you must be there for you to behold Him, for He cometh not as a clergy man. HE COMETH AS A VERY SIMPLE HUMAN BEING LIKE ONE OF YOU.
The simplicity that will be in Him will make it impossible for the intellectuals of your day to acknowledge Him, but in Him is the Deity hidden. In Him is the Word of salvation God has sent to you. In Him is also the shewbread – the Word which will sanctify you and qualify you to be like Him. He is your masterpiece”, in the message titled THE MASTERPIECE. Amen.
If you miss your way, when you are assigned to a perfect Guide, you missed it because of your inability to acknowledge Him as One Who knows the road. You missed it because, along the way, you thought you could lead yourself. You missed it because you had too many other attractions “greater” than where He is leading you to. And they truncated your vision. Sure!
Was it not that dog that thought it would take the first position in a race with the tortoise? Along the way it perceived the smell of excreta. From one the dog devoured the second. And so it continued, not knowing that the tortoise had passed him.
When the dog realized that he was in a competitive race there was no other excreta left in the bush. It jumped out of the bush and sped like never before thinking that it will catch up with and even pass the tortoise.
Before the dog could get to the finish line, the tortoise had long been crowned as the winner of the race.
Overtaking is allowed. True or false? Overtaking is allowed.
⁴⁵Look at 2008, the message said that any day you will have the complete revelation of the personality you are having dealings with, surely; you will scramble for Him the way you scramble for your daily food. Has it not come to pass? It has come to pass.
Once you have the revelation of who The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena is, I say you will scramble for Him like you scramble for your food. Because if you are hungry, you will be looking for food.
There is nobody that knows the importance of The Son of Man that does not keep asking questions after every fellowship to know if there is any message from Mount Zion, from the voice of God studio.
Why? You are hungry spiritually. And the only person that can help you is Him [THE SON OF MAN]. Is it not true?
Now, anybody [man or woman] in whom the hunger for the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN) is not found, it means that the person does not want eternal life.

FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, HEARING THE WORD OF GOD

Turn with me to the message; GOD’S PROMISES STANDETH SURE; [Irrevocable!] Preached by The Son of Man on 15^th February 2000.

I say, irrevocable. Irrevocable promises of God. I say, God’s promises are irrevocable, for the Bible made it clear that the law was given to Moses, but grace and truth was given to the LORD Jesus Christ
Faith [the Promise] went to our father Abraham. 430 years after the Promise was given, the Bible recorded that the law came and was given to Moses, which contained nothing but death and condemnation, which could reveal the people’s sin, but could not help them out. And in it, they died.
The Bible revealed the mind of God on the matter saying, “The Promise was given to Abraham to save his descendants. The law came 430 years later. This law that came 430 years after can never and will never cancel the promise. Law or not law, the Promise standeth sure and irrevocable.”
Did you get the Message? So let us continue to worship God in spirit and in truth, knowing that in Him, His Promises are yea and amen.
GOD’S PROMISES STANDETH SURE; Preached by The Son of Man on 15^th February 2000; Page 144 verse 46-48. ⁴⁶You know Faith is very easy to develop. You know what? Faith is very easy to develop.
⁴⁶Faith is the easiest thing a human being can develop. Once Faith is developed, there is no figment of fear and doubt again.
Let me show you an example. Peter saw Jesus walking on water and approaching him, he said, “Master, can I come?” Jesus said yes, come. He started walking exactly like the Master. See simple faith.
But immediately he started reasoning, “Hey! What if I sink! See water!”, he started sinking. Then, who did he cry to? The same Master. Faith is very easy. How do you develop it? You do everything exactly as He says.
If He says, “Jump”, you jump. “Sit down”, you sit down. You are developing. I have given an example here using myself before you that I played soccer. Not just local soccer. I met coaches who taught me.
That is pure truth. He played that time with Mighty Jets [FC] of Jos.
I used to look at goalkeepers. When a ball is played, the goalkeeper will follow that ball to an extent. I wondered how they were able to do it. Then I came across a coach, and the coach now taught me.
He took hurdle sticks and placed on the right and left. Then he will throw the ball and instruct me to go over the hurdle. He will be lifting the hurdle till a certain height.
At a stage, we went to play a football match and my colleague whom we played together in the same school at Saint Mulumba in Jos was standing and watching. He said, “This is not the person I know any longer. You mean this man can keep like this?”
Then he asked me, “Why were you not keeping like this in the secondary school?” I told him that it is because I met a teacher that changed my pattern.
So this is the whole thing. You met a teacher that is telling you what to do. What are you developing? His faith. You are now dropping your faith. You are now seeing things the way He sees it. You are now reasoning the way He reasons.
Once Faith is developed, there is no figment of fear and doubt again. That is why if you are a preacher, do not preach because The Son of Man said, “preach”. Preach because you are convinced.
⁴⁷If you are a believer, do not believe because The Son of Man is saying it. Believe because you are convinced that it is the truth.
Saint Paul said, “I believe. So I preach.”
Let me give you an example. There was a meeting taking place and there was no water in the environment [at the valley of decision]. The Son of Man told a Brother who was a Deacon. His name is Brother Simon.
He [the son of man] said, “Go and speak to that tap to give us water.” The Brother did not go to the tap to say, “Son of Man, The Apostle said you should give us water”. No!
He went there and said; “Give us water. We want to drink”. Water started coming. Who taught him that Faith? The Master! He believed. He was convinced that He that spoke to him is the Lord. And then He said with every authority from the Lord, “I say tap, give us water. We want to drink”.
Have you seen it? You are preaching because you are sure that the person you encountered is that Almighty God. So whatever you are saying, you are telling the world, “Outside this Man, you can never be saved”.
That is why Bishop Abraham Moses had every right to tell his relatives; ‘Outside me and this my brother Bishop Joe Ukpong, there is no eternal life in Akwa-Ibom State’. [Sure!!!]
He told them yesterday. Confidence! Because we know who we are. If you want eternal life, come to us and we will show you the way.
Then, if the Son of Man is saying something and you are not convinced that what He is saying is the truth, please, do not believe until you are convinced. Sure!!!
You see it! Bro Neville [Orman Neville] knew who Bro Branham was. And he was a pastor. Brother Branham told him something and he said, “Brother Branham I cannot see it”. Brother Branham said, “I will be praying for you”. Neville said amen. And he continued to pray for him.
One day, he just ran to him and said, ‘Brother Branham, I have seen it’. He said glory be to God. He did not see it, but he had a good attitude towards what he heard. Sure!!! He started saying, “Lord, open my eyes”. Sure!!!
Like Gehazi the servant of Elisha could not see what Prophet Elisha was seeing. Fear gripped him because he saw the armies of the Philistines encompass them about, and there was nobody to help them.
Only two of them were there, and he said, “Master, let us call the armies of Israel. They are taking us captive.”
Elisha said Gehazi, “Please be still. I have prayed to God to open your eyes to see that greater are those that are with us than those that have come to attack us. And before your eyes you will see them discomfited and defeated.”
The Bible said, “Immediately, God opened the eyes of Gehazi.” And he saw trillions of angels of God that have already besieged the place where the Philistines encamped.
2 Kings 6:16-17, KJV. ^[16]“Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For our army is bigger than theirs!” ^[17]Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” And the Lord opened the young man’s eyes so that he could see horses of fire and chariots of fire everywhere upon the mountain!
Before His eyes, God sent rumours across and the LORD discomfited all of them. As they were running, the angels of God remained smiting them, one after the other, until their places were seen no more. VICTORY BELONGETH TO GOD.
Why do we sing this song; [Silently now, I wait for thee. Ready my God Thy will to see. Open my eyes. Illumine me, Spirit divine.] This is the purpose why we sing songs.
We are saying, open our eyes that we can see. For what you are telling us, we have never heard them before. They are not natural things. They are spiritual things. What did He come to do? To help us!
So He is our helper, and He is ready to help us at anytime. That is why He said, “Whatever you want, come and knock.” Is that not true?
⁴⁸What is more? The moment you are convinced that it is the truth, it ceases to be the word of the Son of Man. That is it! You will be making it as a proclamation. You will not be saying that the Son of Man said I should say.
You will be telling somebody, “This is the way this thing is; go up and go down, if you meet God on the way and He changes it, know that I am not from God”. Period!
This is because you are sure and certain that by and by God’s promises standeth sure.
SONG: [Christ will never fail. He has never failed. Heaven and earth shall pass away. Christ will never fail.]
SONG: [Yesterday, today, forever, Christ remains the same. All may change but Christ will never. Glory to His Name. Glory to His Name. Glory to His Name. All may change but Christ will never. Glory to His name.]
A Great Promise. Have you seen it? From Genesis to Revelation, there is nothing in the holy Scriptures suggesting that God tampers with His promises. Rather, we have seen that by these two immutable things, it is now impossible for God to tell lies. [1] By the Oath. [2] By the Covenant.
We go back to the Message, IF YOU KNOW THE VALUE OF GOLD, PRESERVE IT. Page 57 verses 19-22. ¹⁹The essence of the gospel is to create faith in yoU. …
Have you seen the essence? The essence of the gospel is to create faith in you. Faith cometh by hearing, hearing the Word of God.
That is why whatever you are hearing, just be acting on it. As you are acting on it, Faith is created. Your old Faith is now gone. At a stage you must speak like saint Paul; “It is no longer I that liveth, but Christ that liveth in me”.
The essence of the Gospel is to create faith in you. For Faith cometh by hearing the Word of God. Faith to believe the promises of God that in Him, they are yes and amen. Though they tarry, wait for them.
There is always an oath behind every promise, and an oath settles everything. Faithful or unfaithful, He keepeth His oath.
²⁰How I wish we can get the message from the library titled “He Swore By His Name”. ²¹When He looked around, and there was no other thing higher, bigger, mightier, greater which He could use, which He could say, “if I fail to keep My promise, let this thing kill me”; He was looking for something He will use to get human beings convinced, then He said that even if it is possible for the course of a river to be reversed, that His promise will remain there.
²²When He looked around, there was nothing mightier, greater which He could use to swear, which has the ability to kill Him if He does not obey. There was nothing, so He swore by His Name [by His life]. He swore, binding His life.
The problem many are having is lack of personal encounter with this Great personality we are having dealings with. For encounter leads to experience.
Once you have personal encounter with Him [the Great Masquerade], you start having experiences that will sustain you. These experiences will gradually transit you [the process of moving you from one spiritual height to another].
For the more encounter you have with He who is in the mask, the more humble and submissive you become. Sure! For it is one who is loyal and submissive, that the will of God will be accomplished in his or her life.
Therefore, let this advice from our Lord and Master be our guiding principle in our daily lives and our daily conduct at an hour like we are in right now.
Let us get another Word of wisdom from the Message, THIS IS HARVEST TIME [THANK YOU LORD] Volume 1; Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 1st August 2021, page 109 verse 92. ⁹²HARVEST TIME! LET US BE VERY CAREFUL. Harvest time! Let us be very careful.
LET US BE VERY CAREFUL AND RE-EXAMINE [1] WHERE WE ARE,.. Re-examine what? Re-examine where we are. [2] WHAT WE ARE DOING, [3] WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US AND [4] WHAT IS HAPPENING IN US. AMEN! Four things. Write it down.
I want to repeat those places again. We should carefully re-examine where we are, what we are doing, what is happening to us and what is happening in us.
There must be an action before a reaction. There must be an activity before attraction. Did you get what I am saying? There must be an action before a reaction.
Can God react where there is no action? Can God be attracted when there is no activity, whether it be good or bad? Why? His eyes runneth to and fro all over the whole earth, searching out everything being done under the sky. And the Bible said, “His eyes are fixed upon His own wherever they go.” Wherever they go!
That is what God wants us to do at an hour like this. First of all, we must know where we are, before the rest will line up. We are in the presence of God 24/7. Gone are the days when we were in our own presence doing what we want to do.
But let it be known to you that after two days, we are no longer in our own day, doing what we want to do. We are now in His presence. Whatever we are doing must be what He has taught us, or we will be in danger of being called to question.
Whatever we are doing must be what He has taught us, or we will be in danger of being called to question. Is that not true?

I am the canopy. Believe it if you can. That is why I keep on warning, if you use your mouth to cut down the tree that offers you a shade, during the time of great storm, you will look for a place of refuge and you will find it no more for you have used the words of your mouth to hew down the tree that offers you a shade. I am that Tree and the Umbrella that offers you that shade. Abide in me and you will bear fruit and your fruit must surely abide. Take refuge in THE SON OF MAN, you will be secured eternally. Finish. I AM THE CONSOLATION OF THE SAINTS. That is why, some who feel troubled from time to time, God said, “Off your eyes from your troubles. Place THE SON OF MAN in front.”

– THE SON OF MAN –

I AM THE CANOPY; Preached on Sunday 21^st October 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 120 vs. 4 – 6

WE ARE STANDING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD

Let us go back to the Message, IF YOU KNOW THE VALUE OF GOLD, PRESERVE IT. Page 61 verses 31-36. ³¹What happened? After how many days? Two days. In the third day; He will resurrect us and we shall live with Him. After two thousand years, and a day in His sight is like a thousand years.

³²Note, “After!” Are we in “after two days”? Yes. We are now in “after two days”. Are you not living in His presence now? You are. …
We are living in His Presence now, 24/7. Everywhere I am, whether I am in school, business place, wherever I find myself, I am in His Presence. And He is watching over me as His child, to see if I am doing what He told me to do.
This is because He has told me what to do, how to talk, how to behave and how to present myself before fellow human beings. So He is watching me constantly. He does not take His eyes away from you and I. His eyes are set on us.
That is why He has no business with the world. He had already finished with them. They are condemned, waiting for execution. What do you want to do for them again? If they want egg and Indomie noodles, give them. Anything they want.
Do you not see how He is giving them? They want the best car, and He gives it to them. They want the best mansion, it is their own. They want to live in a million-dollar house, He gives them because they are ready for execution. Is it not true?
…If you are not living in His presence, I am living in His presence. ³³I have crossed the riven veil where the glory never fades. I have crossed the riven veil. I am resting in the Presence of the Lord. I am not expecting His Presence. I am already standing in His Presence and where the glory cannot fade again.
³⁴What is more? This glory is by far greater than that of Moses. That of Moses was upon Moses alone, but this one swallowed the entire congregation.
Is that not what we heard in the Sunday school? This glory swallowed a whole human being. Sure!!! Thank God our daughter is here. Her late father was the one that took the picture. And that is Bishop Moses. Sure!!!
The Lord was admiring him and coming to him, he took his handset and took the picture. What did He see? Almighty God saying, “This is my tabernacle in whom I am well pleased to dwell in. And all of you are in Me”. Did you see any human being there? No!
And we have captured another one two weeks ago. All reflecting the glory of God on the face of the Almighty.
SONG: [We have crossed the riven veil where the glory never fades. Alleluia! Alleluia! We have crossed the riven veil where the glory never fades. We are standing in the presence of the LORD]
The Bible said that the glory on our faces is by far greater than that which covered Moses face, which faded away into nullity. But our own is eternal. Eternal!
2 Corinthians 3:7-11, LB. ^[7]Yet that old system of law that led to death began with such glory that people could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For as he gave them God’s law to obey, his face shone out with the very glory of God—though the brightness was already fading away.
^[8]Shall we not expect far greater glory in these days when the Holy Spirit is giving life? ^[9]If the plan that leads to doom was glorious, much more glorious is the plan that makes men right with God.
^[10]In fact, that first glory as it shone from Moses’ face is worth nothing at all in comparison with the overwhelming glory of the new agreement.
^[11]So if the old system that faded into nothing was full of heavenly glory, the glory of God’s new plan for our salvation is certainly far greater, for it is eternal.
Why is it eternal? The eternal God is in our midst. Do not forget that He is the righteousness of His people whenever He is in their midst.
That of William Branham was hanging on the sky, and people were seeing it there. That which was hanging on the sky is now swallowed in a man like a dove. He came rested and abode.
³⁵Anybody you will see the spirit descending upon like a dove and abode. William Branham was seeing the thing coming, they snapped the thing up there. But now, the totality, the fullness of the Godhead descended upon a man like a dove and abode.
³⁶To get us convinced, we took His photograph. What we saw was the Elohim. Physically speaking, He is a badger skin, but what we saw is another thing that swallowed the whole congregation.
Is it not true? Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN) Whom you see physically, is the badger skin. In Him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And we are all swallowed in Him. So we are in His Presence every second, minute and hour. We must know how to dwell in His Presence.
People behave the way they behave but we do not behave anyhow because there is an All-seeing eyes watching us. There is something I will show you as an example.
A child who lives where we used to live in abattoir (Jos, Plateau State), whom all of you know; a little baby girl in the school where mummy was the head teacher. Her name is Miracle!
The mother told her, “If this your school bag gets dirty, when you come home you will hear from me”. What did she do? She hung her bag on the back and sat down in the class.
They kept telling her, put down this bag now. She said, “No, If it gets dirty, my mother will deal with me”. So any item she wants to use, she will get it from her bag, use it and put it back into the bag.
What caused that behaviour? She wants to obey her mother. And in the cause of obeying her mother, her action was different from other children.
It is in the cause of your obeying your Father and my Father, that makes us act differently from other human beings. And they will be looking at us as strange people. Every child there in that class was laughing at Miracle [the little girl], ‘Look at this funny girl”.
If it were my friends and I during my own days, we will say see this Fulani girl, for it is only the Fulani man that entered motor and was asked where he is going. He said that he is going to Bukuru, but he carried his load on the head while sitting in the car.
The driver said, “Fulani man, leave the load now. The car will carry it for you”. He said, “No. What if the car carries the load and leaves me? No! Let me be with my load”. So, he was acting differently. Sure!!!
That is how our behaviour is. People even laugh at us. Sure!!! Why are you behaving like this when others do not behave that way? You are a fool. And we agree that we are fools as long as we please our God. Period! Is that not true?
There is one other experience. A young girl was coming up in age and was approximately 16, a teenager. The mother had already indoctrinated that little girl, thinking she was helping the girl, by telling her that any day any man sees her pants, she must become pregnant, and that the family will not tolerate her for one second, for she must be driven away from the compound. She took note of it religiously.
You see, running on morale rails. The dangers of running on morale rails. And why parents should not intimidate, harass or regulate their children away from the reality. See what happened.
There was an orange tree in the middle of their compound. Young men used to stay under the orange tree to play their draught and ludo games. One afternoon like that, that teenager decided to climb that orange tree to pluck some oranges thereof. Then all the young men at the foot of the tree playing their draught and ludo games looked up and saw her there and began to plead with her to get some of the oranges for them and that they will even volunteer to buy.
On hearing them making the request, she realized that she climbed the orange tree wearing her pants and skirt. She felt that those people underneath the orange tree must have seen her pant. Hurriedly, she came down from that orange tree, rushed into the house furiously and removed her pant, came back and climbed the tree again.
And those young men on noticing the way she came down and climbed up again, looked up again and began to enquire of her, “Why did you come down hurriedly, went inside, came back, and now you are climbing this orange tree naked? You are not wearing your pant again.”
She said, “Yes. I am obeying my mother’s instruction.” They enquired further, “Did your mother say you should climb naked?” And she said, “Yes. You want to see my pant and then I will become pregnant”.
Everybody laughed. They beckoned on that child to come down, but she refused and climbed higher and higher, jumping from one branch to another. Finally, she came down.
Look at another thing. She wanted to collect the oranges. Instead of going into the house to collect a small basket, she lifted her skirt up and poured the oranges into that fold and rolled the clothe.
While she was going inside, she came face to face with her mother. The woman shouted, “Why are you naked? Who removed your pant?”
She replied, “Nobody. I removed it myself to enable me climb the tree. Moreso, young men were at the foot of the tree playing their ludo and draught. And I did not want them to see my pant, lest I become pregnant.”
The mother shouted, “What? An adult like you? Do you think you are a babe?” The girl retorted, “Yes! Was it not what you taught me? You said I should not allow any man to see my pant, for any day they see it, I have become pregnant. And that is why I now used my skirt to hold the oranges.”
So, can you imagine? What she understood was the literary meaning of the instruction that what it takes to be pregnant is to wear pant. So when you are wearing pant, you make sure no man will see it. And if a man sees it, you have become pregnant. So to avoid any man seeing it, you go naked.
Hear Me very well. Who is causing this trouble? The young girl or the mother? The mother should be blamed.
Let us go back to the message; OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE PART 2; Page 29 verses 22-34. ²²I WILL TELL YOU THREE THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU AT THIS DYING MINUTE: …
You see it? God wants to tell us three things that will help us in this dying minute. For He came to help us. He came to give us His Faith. Has He not given us His Faith? Any of us that does not have His Faith now, then that means we have not been acting according to His instructions. Sure!!! So listen.
I WILL TELL YOU THREE THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU AT THIS DYING MINUTE: (1) DEVELOP A TRUE HEART. DEVELOP WHAT? A TRUE HEART.
Develop a true heart. That is number one. That means you can do it. If you cannot develop it, God would not have said develop it. So when He says develop it, tell Him, “Lord help me to develop this heart”. Is He not ready to help you? That is why He came. He came to help you.
The same way He helps us to prefer obedience [to the truth] to making money.
Now, most of us here are teachers, or you must have taught at one time or the other like Bro William who teaches computer. If you tell your students to design something from what you taught them, they will ask you, how do we do it?
You then show them what to do and what to touch. Then they will begin to do it and shout in joy that they are doing it. Who helped them? You! That is why you are there.
Who is helping us? The Son of Man. That is why He is here. When He says “Develop a true heart”, go to Him and say “Lord help me”.
It is the Word of God in us, Christ in us helping us to obey Him. True or false? Let the Word of God dwell richly in you ion all wisdom.
You told the students to design something on the computer. They looked at it. It is not impossible as long as you are standing there. As long as you are their teacher, it is possible. Teacher, what do we do?
You will tell them, “Use your mouse to do this and that”, and they will do it. Their teacher becomes the greatest. When they get home, they will begin to brag about their teacher to their friends and invite them to their school, “Come to our school then our teacher will help you.”
So their teacher has become the greatest. That is how we learn. We are children. We have a Father. A loving One that cannot fail us. He cares. He is ready to help us. So when He says, “Develop a true heart”. Beg Him to help you develop it. Is that not true?
I will give you another example. The Lord told mummy Nzubechi, “If only you can develop a large heart like Me”. Watch her attitude from then onwards. She accommodated it….
She accommodated everybody, believers and unbelievers.
She accommodated it and started developing it. The next thing was that she displayed it. If it is possible for our mother, is it not possible for anybody?
How did mummy get it? She relied on Him who said develop it, and pleaded for His help. And watched Him to see how He carried it out, for which cause He is training somebody. And eventually she developed a large heart.
(2) WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN THE TRUTH. … If you do not develop number one, to worship Him in spirit and in truth will be difficult.
(3) BELIEVE IN HIM, DOUBTING NOTHING. … That is why the students in your school are believing in you. No child was born knowing CorelDraw^®, for that is the most difficult thing in the computer to me. But these children now are playing with it. Who taught them? Their teacher.
²³WHEN YOU HAVE A TRUE HEART, BELIEVE IN HIM WHOM HE HAS SENT DOUBTING NOTHING; WORSHIP THE ALMIGHTY THAT SENT HIM AND WHO IS ALSO DWELLING WITH HIM. ²⁴HE IS NOT IN ONE PLACE AND THE VESSEL IS IN ANOTHER PLACE. …
No! He and the Vessel are there together. You cannot separate them. That is why when I touch Him, I have touched Almighty God. When I kneel before Him, I have knelt before Almighty God. If He gives me His cup, God has given me His cup. He drinks from that cup and I drink with Him, I say “I drank with my God”.
HE IS NOT IN ONE PLACE AND THE VESSEL IS IN ANOTHER PLACE. THE VESSEL BEFORE YOU IS HIS TABERNACLE. THAT IS THE TEMPLE TEMPELING CHRIST. HE IS SEEING YOU THROUGH HIM.
²⁵He is talking to you through Him as a masquerade speaks through the mask. The Vessel is a human being with human flesh drawn from among you. He is an ordinary mask masking Christ.
²⁶He is an ordinary veil veiling Christ and in your own eyes He has revealed all these things to create Faith in you; Saving Faith; Unshakable Faith; Immovable Faith so that at the end, you will not be disappointed.
²⁷You will claim immortality; your theophany body as your own right. And that is when you must have done the will of the Father.
²⁸Remember, that from the beginning, He is the One that is presented [Only One Person] as His only beloved son in Whom He is well pleased [The resurrected body] with one instruction, “Hear ye Him”.
With what instruction? Hear ye Him. Do not play with anything you hear. What did Mummy Nzubechi say to the children at the hospital? She said, “Many have left your Father. Do not try it. Do not play with His word”.
²⁹Mary the mother said, “Whatever He will tell you to do, do it”. ³⁰His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do it. [John 2:5 AMP]
³¹There is no other instruction. And there is nothing I can tell you more than this because, that is the only thing that is required of you to do the works of the Lord.
³²It is by believing, trusting, confiding, depending, relying on Him Whom He has sent, Who has come with salvation and healing in his hands and that is your final bus stop.
³³WHEN YOU TURN YOUR BACK AGAINST HIS WORDS, TREAT HIM WITH CONTEMPT, SET HIS WORD AT NAUGHT DEFINITELY HE IS SETTING YOU AT NAUGHT.
³⁴BUT WHEN YOU OBEY AND SERVE GOD ACCORDING TO THE DICTATES HE LAID DOWN, DEFINITELY, YOU WILL COLLECT YOUR RIGHT WHICH IS IMMORTAL BODY.
Definitely! There is nothing that will stop you. Why because, everything He told you to do, you did it. And He is there to help you to do these things.
Disobedience to God’s word takes you away from fellowship with God. Is that not true?
Adam and Eve were having fellowship with God daily in the evening. What took them away? Disobedience! He came in the evening, “Adam! Adam! where are you? Why are you not in fellowship?”
Adam said, “oh! It is what you told us. This woman has caused problem”. God does not want you to begin to say; “See what caused it”. No! This is not time for distribution of blame. That is not the thing.
Recognize that disobedience to God’s word takes you away from fellowship with God. You should know that! Non-continuance with the word will take you out of fellowship with God because disobedience to God’s word is rebellion in the sight of God. Sure!!!

This Prophesy, the Lord used Apostle Peter Odoemena, Voice of the Spirit, which reads, “Will My people hear? Will they understand that I, The Sovereign Lord changeth not? I have chosen you and called you My people. It is not a guarantee that I will not punish you when you sin against Me and provoke My Spirit to jealousy by forsaking My Holy Commandments. I warn all of you this day. If you must live with Me eternally, harken and obey My Word. Keep My Holy Commandments and instruction from My Servant. I, The Lord, have spoken and will perform the oath which I swore by My Name, that I will lead you safely to the end and as long as you keep obeying Me.” This is the Voice of the Holy Spirit

FACING THE FACTS OF OUR FAITH; Preached on Sunday 9^th October 2005 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 44 vs. 15 – 16

I AM THE FOCAL POINT OF YOUR GATHERING

Let us proceed to the message; A WORTHLESS FELLOW IN THE FAMILY OF GOD. Sure!!! Preached by The Son of Man on 15th July 2012. Page 49 verses 3-5.

Iron sharpeneth iron. This is the text of a Bishop. I repeat: This is exactly what God expects from one who has risen to that office to be called a Bishop both in character, in family administration and in the knowledge of the truth to the extent that he can impart the truth into others.
When God said, “That which I have taught you commit into the hands of trustworthy men who will be able to teach others without adulterating that Message for base gain”, that is the text of a true Bishop.
³Any day it comes to the point where you cannot make any amendment, only to discover that you have missed it all due to your foolishness, such a person is the one that will die in sorrow: “If I had known”, “If I had known”. “Had I known” has always come last.
⁴To avoid “Had I known”, begin now to address yourselves as individuals. … What?
⁴To avoid “Had I known”, begin now to address yourselves as individuals. … Again!
⁴To avoid “Had I known”, begin now to address yourselves as individuals. …
Have you seen it? To avoid “Had I known”, begin now to do what? Address yourselves as individuals. That is the message we heard in the morning.
We are individuals, all our thumbprint differ from one another. God is going to require it from me and also from you.
He will not look at your father. Did He say because Abraham did well, Isaac will go through? No! Isaac had his experience. Jacob had his experience. Even the children of Jacob one after the other, had their experiences with God because they had an encounter with Him.
See the mystery still. I want all of us that are in this studio to examine our fingers. Examine your 10 fingers, left and right. Can you see your pictures? Never!
There is no way you can see your picture on your thumbs, but when you place it on the equipment meant to tell the whole world who owns that finger, surprisingly, the finger is placed, but the face of the owner appears.
Can you not stop and think? Why did the thumb not appear, but the person who owns it appears? No misrepresentation. No mistake.
You may resemble in appearance, but the thumbprint differs. You may be identical twins, but the thumbprints are different. Pause a little.
In this case, there is no way the righteousness of your father can be inputted on you. The righteousness of the righteous is upon his head, while the wickedness of the wicked is upon his head. Otherwise, something must be wrong along the way.
That your father is the president of Nigeria cannot give you his office. There is no way Buhari can make a will as our president and commander in chief of the armed forces saying that immediately he leaves that office that one of his sons will succeed him. He can never write such a will. Do you get the Message?
If there is anything that you do not know, it is not what you have done or what you are intending to do. You might be ignorant of everything but you can never deny that you do not know what you have done or what you are intending to do.
⁵We may not know them but they are very plain and registered in your hearts. Believe it if you can, I am the focal point of your gathering. Without Me, your gathering is in vain.
Unto the LORD shall the gathering of His people be, for wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will gather.
He is the Focal point! So you must know clearly if the thing you are doing is not according to what He has taught you. If you want to address yourself, then start to change that thing now. Stop that thing.
“I am your focal point. You cannot run away from me. I am your teacher. I am here. I have taught you.” Why you are not producing that life is because you did not do what I did. It is not too late. Begin to address it now”.
Have you now seen what God is saying to us? Is there any loving Father more than this One? He is the greatest Loving and the greatest caring Father.
God’s own chosen place of worship is not a cathedral, it is not a building made with human hands. He is a man. And that man is Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN). That is our focal point. Simple!
The Chosen place of worship. That is why you cannot place your sacrifices as you choose or wherever you see people clapping their hands.
YOUR SACRIFICE MUST BE PLACED WHEREVER HE HAS CHOSEN TO PLACE HIS NAME. IS IT NOT THE COMMAND OF THE SCRIPTURES? ANY OTHER PLACE IS IN ERROR. SACRIFICE PLACED IN ERROR. YOU WORSHIP AMISS.
You know what you did. Nobody knows it. You are the only one that knows what you did and what you are planning to do.
So, if you did it before and it is not according to Him [your focal point, your teacher] and not the way He taught you, and now you are planning to continue, do not! Simply do it the way He said you should do it, so that you will avoid “Had I known”. As simple as the day. I do not know whether we are following this Message. Good.
Let us look at Colossians 1 verse 15-17, from the Message Bible. We are still looking at the focal point. We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created.
For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. Amen!
So when we look at this Son, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN), we see the God who cannot be seen. We see God’s original purpose in everything He created. And He holds it all together right up to this very moment.
That is why you can see that He is our focal point. Our gathering here is in vain without Him. What are we doing? We are going back to what He told us to do. If what I did before was not according to His word, look at an opportunity now. That is why He said, “When you hear the words of God, do not harden your heart”.
A WORTHLESS FELLOW IN THE FAMILY OF GOD; Page 107 verse 13. ¹³The only way of finding favour from God is by obeying His word. … That is what He wants us to do.
…If you do not obey the word, whatever sacrifice you render to Him is useless nonsense, unacceptable and of no value in His sight. Amen!
OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE.
Is there anything clearer than that? Then what favour are you looking for from human beings? It is God that will give you all the favours you need. That is why when I look at things, I begin to appreciate this God. It is not that He cannot give us everything. At times you see people say “Look, I must put a mansion in this town which is going to be one in town”.
Remember, the whole thing is an act of love for God, for He first loved us and purchased our salvation single-handedly. He decided to give it to us free of charge.
So whatever we do in return is appreciation of our salvation, for we were completely lost if He never came our ways. True or false?
Now, pay attention. DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN SPEND WITHOUT LOVING, BUT YOU CAN NEVER LOVE WITHOUT SPENDING? YOU CAN SACRIFICE WITHOUT OBEYING. BUT THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN OBEY WITHOUT SACRIFICING.
THAT IS WHY CHILDREN OF GOD ARE SELF-SACRIFICING WORSHIPPERS. NOTE IT. SELF-SACRIFICING WORSHIPPERS. SACRIFICE FOLLOWS OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH. I hope you are hearing Me. When you obey the truth, sacrifice accompanies it.
It is not placing sacrifice like Saul in disobedience. God said it is sacrifice that is thrown to the winds or to the fowls of the air. Period!
At times you see people say “Look, I must put a mansion in this town which is going to be one in town”. You watch and see them do it. Who gave them the power to do it? It is God, because they are already condemned and awaiting execution.
But you and I will be struggling and trying to do one thing, and if God does not want us to do it, you will see that we will not get it right. Is He wicked to us? No.
He wants us to learn from our experiences that He is not concerned about these worldly things. He is taking you to another realm of life. That is where He wants your heart to be, not here. That is why what you are doing without succeeding, another person will sit down and do that same thing and tomorrow you see the person succeeding.
Then you will begin to say “what kind of life is this? My own is always different. I am trying all my best it is not working”. You do not know that God loves you. He is giving the ‘condemned for execution’ whatever they want.
That is why condemned criminals can ask for anything from the warders and it will be granted. They will go and buy whatever he asks for, and he will enjoy. He is a dead man, so anything he wants they give him. Period!
“What do you need today? Sir, can I get a little quantity of hot drink along with my food? Do not worry. I will bring it.”
They will bring it in a bottle for him. He will drink and begin to hail the warder. The next day, you will not see him again. Correct warder knows what he is doing, preparing him for death.
And that is exactly what is happening in the world. Sure!!! That was what happened when David looked at them and was trying to be carried away by what was happening. Then God opened his eyes and he saw their end, he said “God forbid!” He ran back to God. To the God of his salvation.
That is why David said, “I prefer to be a doormat in the house of God than to get the riches of the world.
That is why the Bible said that it is in returning and waiting that we shall be saved. It is not in returning to your God and walking out. Stepping out of your destiny takes you to another destination.
Isaiah 30:15, LB. ^[15]For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, says: Only in returning to me and waiting for me will you be saved; in quietness and confidence is your strength; but you’ll have none of this.
