IF YOU DO NOT SERVE GOD RIGHTLY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CLAIM ETERNAL LIFE VOLUME 3 PREACHED ON Sunday 18^th September 2022 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN The LORD God Almighty

Transcribed by Deacon David Mbah, Students’ Fellowship, MOUAU, Abia State.

¹¹For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. ¹²Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. ¹³Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. ¹⁴I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.

Jeremiah 29:11 – 14, Amplified version

In his family at The Household of God, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria,

Broadcast globally from THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO

Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria

And moderated by THE SON OF MAN Apostle Peter Odoemena

It is informal for any group to gather like this and then somebody will be speaking like this in the name of preaching, because they have their own way of preaching, everybody making a hell of noise and then the Church will dismiss. But in this Most Holy Faith, we gather and HE, The Vindicated Apostle, The Hidden Revealer, Almighty God on two feet, (Blessed be to His Holy Name) in a Badger-skin will address His people, but when He sees mixed multitude, He roars, roars, roars and them places a dividing line. However, to His people in the room like this, He will speak to them in plain language. He will address them.

HOW DO YOU KNOW GOD? Preached on 5^th April, 1997 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 40 vs. 13 – 1

SUCH HYPOCRISIES CANNOT BE HIDDEN FOREVER

OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE PART 2. Page 35 verses 2-26. ²YOU CAN HEAR THE MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR BEING PROCLAIMED WITHOUT RETAINING IT IN YOUR HEARTS. …

You see what I am saying? You can hear it clear and loud without retaining it. What happened? You lack the revelation of He that is giving you the Message. And whose fault is it? You are the one.
When you see somebody giving you something, and you do not know who He is, say, “Lord help me. I want to know you the more”.
Peter was interested. He said, “Is this not our Master walking on top of water? Master, can I come like that?” He said “Come”, and he started walking because he was having Faith in Him.
But immediately fear and doubt came, he started sinking. That is why God is letting us see that you can hear the Message being proclaimed loud and clear, without retaining it in your heart. Something is causing it.
…AND THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ERR FROM TIME TO TIME. ³WHEN YOU DO NOT RETAIN THE WORD OF GOD IN YOUR HEART, THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL STOP YOU FROM ERRING.
⁴YOU WILL WANDER AWAY FROM THE TRUTH AND SORROW MUST FILL YOUR HEART, [Sure!!!] FOR YOU MUST MEET WITH DISAPPOINTMENT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
⁵You may even do something that will make you hate yourself. When you remember what you did which you ought not to do, and which should not be mentioned around you, you feel like dying. Why? You did not retain the Word of God in your heart.
⁶And then you started making for yourself your own way, away from the Lord’s provided way. Where do you think it will lead you?
⁷It will lead you to disappointment, to disaster, to death; eternal death and eternal separation from God, unless God will grant you extravagant grace to make it right before you leave the scene.
Except God will grant you what? Extravagant grace to help you make it right before it is all over.
⁸You can hear the Message loud and clear being proclaimed without retaining it in your hearts. A forgetful hearer, deceiving himself. ⁹And this is where people err from time to time. YOUR INABILITY TO RETAIN THE TRUTH IN YOUR HEARTS MUST SUBSEQUENTLY LEAD YOU INTO IDOLATRY.
Idolatry is not only worshipping molded things. No, we know what idolatry is. It will lead you to stubbornness which is idolatry. Rebellion and covetousness. Placing many things first before God. These are the things it will lead you to.
¹⁰When you refuse to take truth into your heart, you are bound to accept error. You must bow down to idols. That is true, because you are not a vacuum. One thing must occupy you.
¹¹You must deny the truth, because you never retained it in your heart, for you are holding it with your mouth, holding it with your brain, but it is not in your heart.
¹²Once you have the knowledge of Christ, our Saviour, the Almighty God; you heard the Word being revealed and you refuse to retain it in your heart, God will give you over to reprobate spirits so that you will begin to do those things that are not proper in the sight of God.
You see where the danger lies? Your deliverer will become your destroyer. Have you seen the danger? Your deliverer will now become your destroyer. Because you refused to retain the word, now He handed you over to reprobate spirit. Can anybody bring you out?
Once you push your deliverer to the extent of giving you over to reprobate heart, you are gone.
You behave the way you want, and God will not query you again.
That is why He said it will take extravagant grace of God.
Sure! When God gives people over to reprobate hearts, they will be behaving the way they want without anything restraining them. The fear of God will vanish from their minds and from their hearts.
And these are the most delicate human beings anybody can come into contact with. Why? They have known the two faces of the coin. They have known much about God, but too much about the devil. So they become tempters to the children of God.
Do not consider those that have left our congregations, but be afraid of those who are out of the way of truth, but they are sitting down in your midst. Be afraid of them, men and women; young and old. They abound. They are in the majority.
Now that we are in our homes, they are feeling comfortable that they are now in their homes. Nobody will harass them or embarrass them with THUS SAITH THE LORD again. And they are satisfied with themselves, for they know where they are ending their journeys.
Even when their parents will join us in our feast of charity, they feel uncomfortable. Whatever impression they try to give there is mere dressed up. A dressed up appearance. That is, they are making pretensions to be what they are not.
Such hypocrisies cannot last for too long. The Almighty must unravel everything that is hidden in them, no matter how highly placed they might be, for God is no respecter of persons. Time and events must open them up before all of you any time from now.
¹³You will begin to justify the guilty and whatever God has condemned, your conscience will never prick you again. ¹⁴If you are a woman, you will never see anything wrong in challenging your husband, slapping him and commanding. You will see nothing wrong at all because everything will seem right in your eyes.
Even resisting his voice, snubbing the husband becomes a way of life. Despising Him becomes a way of life, even walking away on the man for the man is nothing.
Once somebody comes to that point, the person is in the region of the lost. Some of them know this truth. A good number of them can attest to this truth that that is where they are, but they dare not make it public.
¹⁵You will see nothing wrong in even living the lives of the heathens, mingling with the heathens, submitting to the heathen’s wishes and their commands for base gain.
And there is no way the woman can go that way without the children following suit. Do you know what I am saying? The young goats are always behind the she-goat. Is it a lie Brethren?
Observe the she-goat. When it is crossing the high way, the kid-goats are following her. That is why whenever an accident occurs there, the vehicle not only crushes the she-goat but all her kid-goats.
¹⁶TO ONE THAT IS DESTINED TO DESTRUCTION, EVERYTHING IS RIGHT IN HIS SIGHT. THE MOMENT YOU REFUSE TO RETAIN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST IN YOUR HEART, THE REVEALED WORD IN YOUR DAY, THE ALMIGHTY GOD MUST SURELY HAND YOU OVER TO THE SPIRIT OF DELUSION;… which is very dangerous.
For your deliverer to become your destroyer, who will deliver you from His hand. Is anybody greater than Him? Nobody.
¹⁷NOTE IT! HE MUST SURELY HAND YOU OVER TO THE SPRIT OF DELUSION. YOUR MIND AND YOUR HEART WILL BE DELUDED. To believe lies. YOU CAN NO LONGER DISCERN BETWEEN TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD, GOD AND DEVIL, BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS. ALL OF THEM WILL LOOK ALIKE IN YOUR EYES.
¹⁸TO YOU, THEY ARE ALL BUT ONE; NO DEMARCATION AGAIN; NO SEPARATING LINE BETWEEN THE HEATHENS AND THE CHILDREN OF GOD. YOU CAN MINGLE WITH THEM FREELY WITH YOUR CONSCIENCE NOT PRICKING YOU. For base gain.
You can mingle with them freely without your conscience pricking you. What has happened? You refused to retain the truth in your heart.
¹⁹The moment you refuse to retain the knowledge of God, the knowledge of Christ in your heart, the revealed Word in your day, the Almighty God MUST surely hand you over to the spirit of delusion; MUST! Take note of that Word. MU-S-T. ²⁰…the Almighty God MUST surely hand you over to the spirit of delusion; and you will begin to believe lies.
²¹And that is where many are now operating; Not “will be”. They have already started operating there.
And that is where many are now operating; Believing lies instead of truth; And what is their defense? “Daddy told me to relax my mind. Daddy told me to relax my mind; no problem; no wahala.” ²²And then you jump up. You do not know that iniquity must be judged, no matter where it is found. Let hands join hands, no evil doer will go unpunished, no matter how little.
²³Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. [Proverbs 11:21 KJV]
²⁴And how God will punish you, you do not know. You do not know the day He will wake up to call you to question, only to remind you of your act which you must have forgotten. He will play it back. You will faint like Aaron did, for God takes record of iniquities.
²⁵Something you know you ought not to do and you harden your heart and do it; And even in the face of God, you have the mouth to question or to say, “What is wrong with it? Is it not the same thing? Are we not one?”
²⁶What a pity! And you do not know how God is seeing you. You do not know that at that point, you are lost.
That is why He said, “You do not know how God is seeing you. You are just looking at Him and saying, ‘Oh! He is a merciful God’. But you do not know how He is looking at you. Remember we have already seen that we are in His presence 24 hours.
So at the point you are doing that thing, He is just looking at you. Is this what I taught you? And you do not know the day He will call you to question and ask you; This thing you are doing, where did you learn it from?
Let us proceed to the message; APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION Volume 2; Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 28th June 2020. Page 25 verses 26-29. ²⁶So, before we move, let us just take a little quote from GOD’S NATURE IS YOUR TICKET TO PARADISE, preached by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN. This Message indeed was preached on 9th January, 2011. Let us look at page 71 verse 1. “I AM BLOWING THE TRUMPET IN ZION”. Amen.
²⁷Who is blowing the trumpet in Zion? God! Remember there is a Message called BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION. The Almighty God said here, “I am blowing the trumpet”. Where? In Zion. Where is Zion? Except you do not know where Zion is? Or where Zion is?
He said except you do not know where Zion is. Don’t we know as children of God? The world does not know where Zion is, but there is no believer in this Faith that does not know that Nsubge, The Bridal Lodge, remains mount Zion.
Why? It is because that is where God loves to be. That is the dwelling place of God. And He is blowing the Trumpet. What is the trumpet? The Message. We are receiving Messages upon Messages, then what will be our excuse.
What is the purpose of the messages? To build up Faith in us. So that where we are failing we can stop, go back and do things rightly.
WHAT IS MY AIM? WHATEVER THAT WILL HINDER YOU FROM BEING THERE… From what? From being there…
Whatever that will hinder you from being there, you will see it so that you can take it away. HELP FROM ABOVE.
Do not wait. He is the mirror, just like we go to our mirror after dressing. You may see what is not supposed to be on your eyelids or your hair, is the mirror going to remove it for you? No, you have to do the removing.
YOU WILL SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES. That is the target. ²⁹We know the Headquarters, we know where Zion is, we know where He lives. It is from there He blows the trumpet in Zion, having but only one aim…
That is His aim. To make you see what is going to hinder you so that you can remove that hindrance. For He has come to give us the Faith that is missing and to help us to worship God rightly so that eternal life [Immortality] becomes our right.
When you have a right, do you go begging for your right? No! You go claiming your right. This is my right, give it to me. And God will give it to you. Once you have done what He expects from you, He will give it to you.
Our God, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN), is blowing the trumpet in Zion. What is the trumpet? The Message! We are receiving messages upon messages from Mount Zion.
What is His aim? Whatever that will hinder you from being there in the translation, putting on the immortal body, you will see it with your own eyes. That is the target.
Remember that our gathering is unto this Man Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN). Unto this Man shall the gathering of God’s people be for He is the Lord our God, our only and last hope, our helper that is helping us to serve the Father rightly.
When you know what will hinder you, what do you do? Seek His face earnestly to help you, so that that thing will not be a hindrance.

I am telling you the whole truth. If all mankind will decide to obey this Message, we will remain here as our paradise, but it is impossible for them to obey. This Message can only be obeyed in the Bride. If you are not an Elected Seed of Abraham, you can never bow down to this Message. That is why I told you, I am sent with a Message to identify Abraham’s Seeds of this age.

ACTION TIME PART 2 (TRAINING OF CHILDREN) CAMP MEETING; preached on Tuesday, 30^th December, 1997 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 35 vs. 10 – 11

KNOWN UNTO GOD ARE ALL HIS WORKS

APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION Volume 2; Page 29 verses 35-38. ³⁵WHAT IS MY AIM? “WHATEVER THAT WILL HINDER YOU FROM BEING THERE, YOU WILL SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES. That is the target.

³⁶From being in Mount Zion; from being in Zion, where God lives, and where God is. Zion.
³⁷We know the Headquarters. We know where Zion is. We know where He lives. It is from there He blows the trumpet in Zion, having but only one aim. That if you will be there, that you will see it with your own eyes. If you will not be there you will also see it with your own eyes.
³⁸Where God lives; where God operates; God’s own headquarters is the chosen place of worship. That is Zion. That is Mount Zion. That is the City of God. That is God’s awful entrance to heaven.
Mount Zion, the city of God which is His awful entrance to heaven, must come to you by revelation like it came to Jacob by revelation. When Jacob was running away from His brother, he went somewhere and used a stone to lie down.
And there he saw a ladder to heaven, angels going up and down. What was that ladder? A man. And when he knew that that was the entrance-way to heaven and that it is this Man, while he was wrestling with Him, he did not agree to leave Him.
He said no, “How can I leave you if I do not have evidence [the assurance] that I will make it to this heaven. I will not leave you.” And till he got the assurance, did he leave Him? He never left Him.
That is why you need the same revelation about Him to know that this same Man that Jacob wrestled with is here with you and I. The gateway to heaven. The ladder to heaven. He is our only hope to make it.
Then why should I play with it? Did Jacob play with it? Did Jacob even agree to leave Him? No! He held Him till he got the assurance. I will never leave you unless you bless me.
Till you are sure that your ticket has been validated, then you can now say “Yes, I am a sure partaker of what is about to take place”.
Sure!! For something you know that it does not concern you and while other are waiting, you join them in waiting. And at the end of the day, your name is not in the manifest. Those that are in charge will tell you, “We have finished with the names we have in the list.” Disappointed Expectation! You go back disappointed. You have waited in vain.
A brother had a dream. He came here panicking with that dream. I thank God I was not alone. He told us that dream, thus: I may not rehearse all.
His mother visited him because she found a wife for him in their hometown. And his mother is a heathen. She came all the way from their village to see him for one purpose, that she has found a wife for him.
She said that since in their Faith they do not marry outsiders, that she decided to look into their Faith. Can you imagine? One that does not belong to our Faith said she took it upon herself to look into families that are in our Faith in their hometown, and that she found a lady who will be adequate for a wife to her son.
And she travelled from the village for the sole purpose of meeting with her son to convince him that she has found one.
By the time she arrived, the son had already had that particular lady in his heart, but has not approached her to find out whether she will accept to marry him or not.
This is purely physical. He told us that he had that same person in his mind to approach. But he went into prayers and denied himself of food and drink for days to know whether she could be the perfect wife God meant for him.
Note the clauses there. He went into prayers with a view for God to reveal to him whether the idol he has in his mind will be the real wife that will suit his needs.
He said that while he prayed, he went to sleep and then had a very lengthy dream. Many things were revealed to him.
Then towards the end of the revelation in that dream, he saw the entire Brethren lined up, and they were matching into Paradise as individuals and as families. He recognized a good number of them and their families.
But there was one unfortunate thing that happened. He said that when he came to that particular Local Assembly, he saw a good number of them in the line, but unfortunately, that particular lady, the parents and everybody in that family, there was not even one that was found on that line. They were conspicuously missing. They could not be found in any of the Local Assemblies.
So he woke up from that dream, appearing confused, that the person he thought he could enter his house and pick one of his daughters for a wife is completely missing from that line where he saw the Brethren marching into Paradise. The wife was missing and the entire children were also missing, including that lady in question – the goddess of his heart.
So the dream troubled him so much that he called Me and said that he had something that was draining blood and water from his heart and that he would like to open up to Me.
I gave him an appointment and he came. Lo and behold, as it has always been the case, too many elders surrounded Me. I enquired from him whether what he would like to tell Me is a secret he would not share with others, but he rather said no, that it is better he found them around Me.
Then he opened up. After narrating the dreams, I could not say any other thing because he did not see himself on the line, for if he was on the line, it would have been better. But he was not on that line.
And now, the idol he has in his mind was the one the pagan mother has already chosen for him. The two met. So the spirit that was operating in the mother was also operating in him.
Can you get the Message? If you have the same spirit with Me, we must see with one spirit and with one eye.
I now told him that I will not delve into the interpretation of such a dream because I know who is involved. All you have to do is to prove your dream by yourself. If it is possible, collect her contacts. Begin to discuss and chat.
He was reluctant. I did not know what else to say. I could not stop him from going. I could not stop him from opening up discussions because I could see a departure. You cannot come before Me, only to tell Me, “Thus saith the LORD”, for I know you more than you know yourself.
Moreso, when I had already accused you of being a deceiver that wanted and attempted to deceive somebody I had already recommended to the Brethren that she will be among those that will get a believer as a husband from among us because My wife and I had already groomed her.
And I am happy that the same people who were with Me when we arrested the ugly situation in the attempt he made to seduce that same person out with the pretext that he was proposing marriage.
And the phone calls and the chats and everything, even when they came face to face. All the attempts he made to deny ended in confirming the truth, which made us now to make many phone calls, not only to the person who reported the matter, but even to one that rejected him and his approaches, telling us all she discovered after many years of courtship with him.
And from that day, it became clear that he departed from the Faith. And there is no way you can depart from this Faith without associating with Ahab and Jezebel.
Jehoshaphat must have missed his way before associating himself with Ahab’s family, which nearly destroyed even his children after him when they began to intermarry with the descendants of Ahab, and going into partnership in business with them, for which cause God spoilt all their businesses and dried the well they dug together, used a mighty wind [typhoon wind] to blow off their joint businesses, until they heard, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, should you join your hands with God’s enemies to perpetrate injustice, therefore, the wrath of God is upon you.”
Many will like to continue in evil until they will hear THUS SAITH THE LORD. How can you hear THUS SAITH THE LORD when you have been taught and over-taught.
This is the danger of straying away from the presence of God until He hands you over to reprobate spirit. You will begin to operate at the same level with the heathens. Amen.
Even if I cannot speak further, this is enough. I enquired about him yesterday, he was conspicuously absent, although he knew what was happening, for he was told.
Hear Me well. The moment a strange spirit possesses somebody you call a Brother or a Sister, watch that person. He begins to avoid the true Brethren. He begins to pitch tent with hypocrites. He begins to wrap himself around people with questionable characters in the Faith. True or false?
That is why I spoke to you in the Message PRESERVE YOUR YOUTH AND ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS.
You cannot marry a woman you cannot befriend. Take note of it. If you know your choice of friendship, that goes a long way to show you the type of a woman that will eventually become your wife. So it is with the woman.
That is why a man or a woman without a principle of living is man or a woman without a standard. A classless human being is a miniature human being. You know what it means to be classless. Someone who cannot be categorized properly.
When you are classless, you are fitting to everything. Everything is convenient to you. Even if God says no, you will continue.
That is why I always give you my guiding Scripture. 1 Corinthians 6:12, Living Bible and the Message Bible. translation is okay.
^[12]I can do anything I want to if Christ has not said no, but some of these things aren’t good for me. Even if I am allowed to do them, I’ll refuse to if I think they might get such a grip on me that I can’t easily stop when I want to.
I have the power to make my choice, even the way I live. I have the power to do everything I want, provided God will not say no.
And then, even if I discover that it is approved of Me, that habit that holds such a grip over me, so much so that even when I want to stay away from it, I can no longer wriggle away from it. I cannot break it. I will never ever indulge in it.
That is why, if you are a child of God, you have already been classified. We have classified documents. Am I making sense? Classified documents are not opened to everybody, for they are classified.
But unclassified documents are free radicals. Free! I mean, free documents. And anybody can have assess to them.
We have files that are marked “CONFIDENTIAL”. We have files that are marked “SECRET”. Secret files can never be opened by anybody, except the highest fellow. Confidential files go to confidential secretaries only. They have access to it, and they take it to the Director, the overall boss.
But once it is marked “SECRET” nobody opens it. Even the secret can be classified – SECRET and TOP SECRET. Once it is marked in red, “TOP SECRET”, no director handles it. It goes to the Director General because it is top secret.
If it is secret, it goes to the Director. We have Directors, and we have Director General. If it is confidential, it goes to the confidential secretary who open it and takes it to the designated office who handles it.
If it is mainly official– although it is classified– once it is official, it goes to the appropriate quarters.
So, do not be a classless child of God. Be a CLASSIFIED CHILD OF GOD. If you have classified products, they are restricted from the general public, for they are under the classified or exclusive list. It could be exclusive list or prohibited list. We have prohibited and we have exclusive.
Although we are children of God, we are likened to heavenly bodies. Do all the heavenly bodies have equal glory. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars.
Yet, all the stars do not perform the same functions. We have the shooting starts and we have the ordinary stars. By this, are the heavenly bodies not classified? so it is with you. Thank you!
In the house of God we have vessels of honour and those of dishonour. Some are of gold, some of silver while some are of wood and some of clay. Some of honour. Some of dishonour.
Some are for everyday use, while some are for special occasions. They do not come out anyhow.

Process the Message you are about to hear with every amount of love and godly sincerity. I assure you, your condition will not be the same. You have no problem. Simply have confidence in the Son of Man. He must surely lead you through. Thank you for cooperating!

BE DILIGENT TO PROTECT YOUR MINDSET; preached on Sunday 15^th and Sunday 22^nd April, 2007 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 16 vs. 29

STRIVE TO ACQUIRE VALUABLE EDUCATION

Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu: This dream the Almighty God rehearsed just reminded me of something that happened before I got married. A heathen girl who is conversant with our office and she knows THE SON OF MAN came to me one day and was telling me that she had a dream.

I enquired about the dream, and she said that she was in a dream and we were in a place that looked like my house, and that she could recognize THE SON OF MAN and some others that were there.
When he had no house. He has not even been instructed to look for a house.
In that dream she said that it looked like a ceremony. Then along the way, THE SON OF MAN brought one girl that she did not know in that dream and gave to me and said, “This is your wife.” Then, the dream left her.
You see, I just kept quiet over it because I knew where I was targeting and I knew my prayers to God. I was not looking at the heathens. I was not looking at other person.
If you do not have the spirit of Christ, you will not know when the devil is coming to you with apparitions and when God is coming to you with reality. You may muddle the two up. One is apparition, while the other one is reality. Did you get the Message?
Last Sunday, I exposed the two, and I showed you the difference. There is a great difference between a grave and a pit. A pit is for waste products. But the grave is for corpses. The two do not have the same shape. I have been privileged to dig the two, and I know the difference between the pit and the grave.
If I cannot separate between apparition and reality using the Spirit of Christ in Me and His Word as My standard, let it be known to you that I cannot differentiate between God and the devil. Is it not true?
If you see the devil and call him God, and you see God and call Him devil, the truth is that you do not know who God is. Neither do you know who the devil is. To you, the two are one. But can the two be one? Never! Never!
That is why I gave you a strict Message. If God tells you to go to the Asaba end of the bridge and look at your right-hand side, and that there is going to be a white waterproof bag there, tied very well, carry it. In it are jewels that will make you a man, and that it will establish you.
Take note! God said Asaba end of the bridge, by the right-hand side. Notice one thing. The devil will go ahead of time and place one white waterproof bag tied at the Onitsha end of the bridge, by the right-hand side.
God will permit the devil to do that to know whether, on getting to the foot of that bridge, you see it by your right-hand side, a white bag tied, and not even trying to know the contents, you conclude it must be jewels that will establish you.
And on seeing it, you say “Oh! ‘Thy kingdom come’ will not come with candlesticks or lampstands from the sky. What I am looking for– What will take me to Asaba end of the bridge has been brought to the Onitsha end. Oh! How wonderful God is? Oh! Glory! Glory! Glory! He has saved me too many troubles.”
God is there watching, for when God sends a man, He follows him. He backs him up. If you stop there to carry it, the LORD will turn His back and walk away from you. He will back out from you for that was not what He commanded. The one He commanded is across the bridge – Asaba end.
If you are one that follows God at His Word, you will ignore that one and know that it is a distraction. And nobody is an expert in distracting the attention of a child of God more than the devil.
You regard that one as ordinary apparition and continue until you cross that bridge. Look on the right-hand side, and you will see the one designated to you. Carry it.
While coming back, shockingly, you will notice that that one is still lying there. It is not meant for you. You have carried the one designated to you. Go home and open it. There will be peace that surpasses your understanding. All you need to get established is there.
But if you had stopped to lift the other one, you would have carried a baggage the devil placed, just to hinder you from getting to your own designated package.
There is no way on your journey to Paradise that you will not meet something like this from time to time. Fix your eyes. If God says it is Shiloh, it is Shiloh. If he says it is Gilgal, it is Gilgal. If he says it is Jabesh-Gilead, it is Jabesh-Gilead. No interpretation.
That is why William Branham said, “When God speaks to you and you hear the Voice even in your inner heart, do not jump up. If there be a Prophet in your day, go to Him. Go to Him!” Finish. To God be the Glory.
Back to the Message: Till you are sure that your ticket has been validated then you can now say, “Yes, I am a sure partaker of what is about to take place”.
The Man Jacob wrestled with was the Ladder and the Gateway; the awful entrance to heaven. Immediately it became clear to him, he was no longer willing to let Him go until he has blessed him. That is the assurance.
That Man is here with us today, and you must get it by divine revelation. If you do not get it by divine revelation, do not just claim, but rather, seek His face earnestly to reveal His Faith unto you.
Do not walk by social revelation. Simply because everybody is saying Son of Man is God, you also join them. Do not walk by social revelation or by your natural instinct.
Or by social media. Do not walk with social media: Instagram, To-Go, To-Come, WhatsApp and WhatsUp. Do not walk with it. When I hear WhatsApp, I remember the snack you normally love. The one Sister Thomas is about to produce. Shawarma.
The names are frightening. Shawarma. Osha-Awa-Mma. You open your mouth very wide to pronounce them. Is it not true?
You see everything in the social media. Be very careful how you handle your own. The devil is there already. And the devil has been there for he knows that God placed it for those among His children. The devil has rushed there.
Why? Let us hear the Lord tell us why our instinct is very dangerous. Do not walk by your instincts and do not follow social revelation.
Everybody is saying Son of Man is God, and you also join. By the time they begin to say Son of Man is devil, you will also join. If you follow your instinct, your instinct can make you doubt. It can even make you to sit down to discuss with somebody of plans to rebel against Him.
So what you need is divine revelation. That is where the conviction comes from. Whether in life or death, you know that the person you are talking about is the reality.
Let us hear from the Lord Himself in APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION Volume 2; Page 30 verses 40-44. ⁴⁰LET ME TELL YOU. I KNOW THOSE THAT ARE WALKING BY DIVINE REVELATION. AND I KNOW THOSE THAT ARE WALKING BY SOCIAL REVELATION. I KNOW THOSE THAT ARE WALKING BY NATURAL INSTINCT. Sure!⁴¹YOUR NATURAL INSTINCT SHOULD NOT BE YOUR GUIDE. No!
Have you seen the warning? Your natural instincts should not be your guide. You can be instinctively wrong. Why instinct when God is there? Is God dead? Is our God dead? Has He run out of ideas?
Social media bundled a lady whose marriage was contracted online, with the wedding and everything online. Eventually, the parents of the lady helped her to travel to Nigeria here.
And assisted by the Nigerian police, the DSS and immigration officials, she found her way to her husband’s residence in the village, for she came with genuine documents, only for the young man who has been taking the lady’s money and who has been sponsored by the lady to be a jobless graduate residing in their village.
Then the vehicles parked. There were two vehicles carrying her luggage and everything. Now, they offloaded. The number one thing they brought down was a wheel chair. They helped the lady into the wheel chair.
She was a very beautiful lady facially. And the husband so to say, who came out, for he was prepared to receive a gorgeous wife, whose face was very beautiful online. The lady now sat down in the wheel chair watching the surrounding and everybody’s face.
The immigration officers brought out the document for the man to sign that they have helped his wife to arrive at his residence safe and secured.
He was hesitant. The police, the DSS officials and the immigration officials told him not to be funny, for they had already come with the woman.
And the woman felt shocked that she is being disowned by her husband who has even wedded her online, for the romance was there for over two years before marriage was contracted. And he also helped the girl to come down. All genuine. So he must sign.
So after everything, he signed and received his baggage. They wished him well and the immigration officials helped in pushing his wife into his little hut.
If you were that man who did pictorial marriage– online marriage is pictorial –and this woman arrived this way, what will you do? What will you do?
What if you happen to be the lady in question, who has been enjoying good life in her own country, but was deceived into believing that the husband to be might be living in a place that could be manageable in one of the suburbs, but only to see him in a hut in that village? How will you feel?
Well, let us be very careful. Let us be very careful. Separate between social revelation and spiritual revelation. Separate between social contact and spiritual contact. They are not one. One is God. One is human. And once it is humanly oriented, it is devilishly oriented.
I hope you have heard Me. Young men, have you heard Me? Too many of your youth are in this nonsense right now.
That is why it has grieved Me that families are no longer interested in monitoring the state of their children as their flock.
They have lost all the teachings from God which said that he that takes good care of the fig tree must reap the fruit thereof. If you ignore the fig tree, and it grows wild, you must harvest the fruit.
And I gave it in My Message on the training of children that the first fruit that matures very early for parents to harvest have been their children.
Ignore the training of your children, and from seven years, you will begin to harvest the fruits. At seven years they will begin to show you signs of where they are heading to. True or false?
By 15years, you have lost grip of them. That is why the society is what it is today. Whether there is job for the teeming youths or not, the value for education has never changed and will never change.
The core value of academic education and non-academic education – regimented or unregimented is just enlightenment, to inform, for when you are not well informed, you must be well deformed.
Strive to acquire valuable education. The core value of education can never lose its meaning to the development of the human capital. Nothing is as dangerous as ignorance. It is very delicate.
So do not abandon education. Do not treat education with contempt. Education is never tied to anything employment. Rather, education, from the onset, is tied to the development of the human being. Then he can find something that will be suitable to his needs.
Any education that is tied to employment, oftentimes, is discovered that the employment does not agree or is not in conformity with the needs of that person. Hence people resign on their own.
They tell you, “No! I cannot continue with this work.” No matter what it offers him or her, the person says, “No! I am not having a sense of fulfilment in this work. I must abandon it and go for something that will make me to be at peace with myself.”
The best employment is not the one that has the highest remuneration. Do you believe it? If you believe that the best employment is the one that offers you the best financial returns, you will engage in nefarious activities that will endanger your lives.
You jeopardize your future and the future of those that may like to depend on you to come up in life because there are people that are looking up to you. True or false? Let Me stop there.
⁴⁰LET ME TELL YOU. I KNOW THOSE THAT ARE WALKING BY DIVINE REVELATION. AND I KNOW THOSE THAT ARE WALKING BY SOCIAL REVELATION. I KNOW THOSE THAT ARE WALKING BY NATURAL INSTINCT.
⁴¹YOUR NATURAL INSTINCT SHOULD NOT BE YOUR GUIDE. DID YOU GET WHAT I AM SAYING? BY INSTINCT EVERY MAN WALKS REBELLIOUSLY.
⁴²THAT IS WHY WE RECEIVED THE MESSAGE THAT WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE NATURAL REBELLIOUS INSINCT THAT IS ALWAYS IN OPERATION IN MAN.
⁴³Man reacts contrary to the truth without prior training. Without having anything, without prior knowledge, or discussion, you see him reacting negatively to an honest purpose. Is it not true?
Man does that without premeditation as to know the consequences or the awful implications. Oftentimes, he may not know what it is.
You will just see yourself reacting even when it is an honest purpose. They are telling you the truth, “This is the way you should live. This is the way you should act”, but you just see yourself getting annoyed and acting rebelliously. Sure!!!
What caused it? Instinct! That is the danger. Do not depend on your instinct. It is very dangerous.
⁴⁴He never planned to do so. He never reasoned it with anybody. He did not think. That is why it is called an instinct. The natural instinct that tends to rebellion in man is always at work. So let us be very careful. Amen!
Let us be very careful and wise by always taking the wise counsel. Whatever God is saying, be careful about it. Please be careful about that thing.
Mathew 25 verse 5-13, the Message Bible. The bridegroom didn’t show up when they expected him, and they all fell asleep. “In the middle of the night someone yelled out, ‘He’s here! The bridegroom’s here!
Do we have the midnight cry as a message? Yes we do!
Go out and greet him!’ “The ten virgins got up and got their lamps ready. The silly virgins said to the smart ones, ‘Our lamps are going out; lend us some of your oil.’
“They answered, ‘There might not be enough to go around; go buy your own.’ “They did, but while they were out buying oil, the bridegroom arrived. When everyone who was there to greet him had gone into the wedding feast, the door was locked.
“Much later, the other virgins, the silly ones, showed up and knocked on the door, saying, ‘Master, we’re here. Let us in.’ “He answered, ‘Do I know you? I don’t think I know you.’ “So stay alert. You have no idea when he might arrive.
When you look at it, you see it as if He is arriving from somewhere. No! It means you do not know the time He will end it. This is because we are in the “after” (referring to the Scriptures in Hosea 6:2 which says, “After two days, He will revive us…”). We are no longer in our own day.
He is the referee and you do not know when the referee is going to end the game. So do not think that you have time. You have to do everything rightly.
This is what caused the problem of the foolish virgins. The message Bible called them silly virgins because they were careless. They were virgins quite all right. They had no business with the world, the denominations or anything. But watch their carelessness and see what was their problem.
APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION Volume 2; Page 32 verses 45-59. ⁴⁵The ten virgins waited. Did they decide on their own to wait at any time they liked? No! There was an instruction that mandated them to do what? Wait! Amen.
Do we have a mandate that told us to wait? Yes. And now He has told us to begin to enter.
⁴⁶And there was a place of waiting. Before they waited, what happened? They were already endowed with materials.
Good! Have we not been endowed with materials? We have.
⁴⁷He that instructed them to wait, which you know was no other person but God, who provided them with the material they needed to wait, and what they were supposed to use within that period.
⁴⁸And the story made us to understand that five were fully equipped within that period of waiting. What they had did not run out of use.
They were fully equipped with the material given to them, so they did not run out of materials.
⁴⁹But five that were called “foolish” later on, they did not have enough materials that will carry them through the period of waiting. ⁵⁰That was why, their graves were making noise within that period of waiting. What happened?
Now I want you to take note because God starts describing what caused their problem.
That was why, their graves were making noise within that period of waiting. What happened? They ran out of oil. You know what oil is? The Word of God; The Spoken Word; The Holy Spirit. ⁵¹Sure! They started mingling with the world.
Have you seen it there? That was the problem. They started mingling with the world. Can you remember what we read in the other Message? He said when you do not allow the Word of God to settle in your heart, you will now start mingling. You do not know the difference any longer. And once you mingle, you have become a reject.
They started mingling with the world. It became a light thing to them to mingle with worldly… It became a light thing to them. It does not matter to them.
It became a light thing to them to mingle with worldly people, worldly men, worldly women, and learning their wicked ways. They never knew they would turn out to be good for nothing; rejects at the end.
When they were doing these things, they never knew that they will turn out to be useless nonsense, rejects! That was why when they came back and knocked at the door, He said do I really know you?
In another version He said, I do not know the household you belong to, because you do not belong to my own household. If you had belonged to my own household, you would have listened to me.

If the affairs of this present world, something you know the heathens pride themselves about, is getting over your head, you are a stark pagan. That is why you must get rid of rampant outgrowth of worldliness that is constantly at work in many of you and warring against your souls. Placing too many things before God and allowing too many things to take the place of god in your hearts. Things that have no eternal value. Things that the heathens go after.

Remember Your Reward Vol. 1 (Be Ye Separate); Preached on Sunday 21^st April, 2019 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Chapter 1 verse 20 – 22

There is no unbelief

without a cause

APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION Volume 2; Page 33 from verses 52. ⁵²THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT AT THE END, MINGLING WITH THE WORLD MEANS DENYING THE WORD. Have you seen it? Mingling with the world means what? Denying the word.

YOU MUST DENY THE WORD FOR YOU TO GET ENTANGLED WITH THE WORLD. IS IT A LIE?
⁵³ONE IS AGAINST THE OTHER. WHEN YOU ARE MINGLING WITH THE WORLD, YOU HAVE ALREADY DECLARED YOURSELF A REJECT AT THE END, FOR WHAT WE WILL PRESENT AT THE END WILL BE THE WORD. IS IT A LIE?
⁵⁴WE STARTED WITH THE WORD. IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD. IN THE END, IT SHALL BE THE WORD. HOW CAN YOU TAKE OFF WITH THE WORD AND IN THE END, YOU PRESENT THE WORLD? CAN GOD ACCEPT IT?
⁵⁵But going by what is happening among us in our families, individuals, men, women, mothers and their children, they started with the Word, but look at where they are heading to. ⁵⁶They are now compromising with the world. …
They are now doing what? Compromising with the world. The world is becoming sweeter than the Word. They now love the world more than the Word of God. In the end, will they be saved? No! Why?
This is because God has said that anytime you have the revelation of Who you are having dealings with, you will scramble for The Son of Man.
⁵⁷WHAT DETERMINES YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY? IS IT YOUR BEGINNING OR YOUR ENDING? It is your ending. THAT IS WHY BETTER SHOULD BE THE END OF EVERYTHING THAN ITS BEGINNING.
⁵⁸But to such people, worse is their ending than their beginning. I say, worse. They are growing from bad to worse, and from worse to worst.
⁵⁹BUT A TRUE SEED OF GOD GROWS FROM GOOD TO BETTER. AND FROM BETTER TO BEST. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
SO, LET US BE VERY CAREFUL THAT WE DO NOT START WITH THE WORD OF GOD AND END WITH THE WORLD.
Have you heard it? Let us be careful so that we do not start with the Word and end with the world. This is because God is not going to receive the world at the end.
What He needs from us is the Word which we started with just like in a relay race. The baton that started it must be the baton that ends it. And the baton we started with was the Word of God, and what God is expecting at the end is the Word of God not the world.
How can the world be sweeter now than it was before? It is worse now. There is nothing you can achieve now, no matter how you try. What are we doing? We are just doing the little we are doing to keep the soul and body together till it is all over.
This is because we are sure and certain that immortality is ours. When He has helped you and I to serve Him rightly, do we have any reason why we cannot have our right which is immortality? We do not have!
No matter how difficult it is to live a godly life in this end time, the remedy lies in Christ who has appeared in our midst and revealed the lifestyle that is needed to dwell with Him eternally in the Kingdom of heaven.
Has He not revealed it? He has revealed the lifestyle that we need. If you refuse to pattern after Him for reasons best known to you, you have counted yourself unworthy of everlasting life and unworthy of Paradise.
For if you had believed in Him, you would have practiced all He said you should practice. So there is nothing in this life nor in the life to come, that will bring you into Paradise if not having His nature.
If there is somebody that should have won it on a platter of gold, it should be our Mummy Nzubechi Odoemena, who is today in glory resting. Is it not true? But did she win it anyhow? No!
She struggled, humbled and patterned herself after her own husband who is her God. All He said was, “How I wish My wife will have a large heart”, And she started working on it till we all saw the kind of large heart our Mummy had that could accommodate everybody.
If she did not have a large heart, would she have been able to accommodate all those reactions from people? No. Today, how many are ready to humble themselves like our Mummy Nzubechi [The Queen of Paradise] before the Lord our God, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN) and learn His ways.
If you do not humble yourself and learn His ways, what will you say at the end when you are rejected? The work of transformation starts by hearing the Word of God.
Then when you receive by acceptance and allow the Word to settle down in your heart, it will definitely transform you.
But when you refuse to receive and allow the Word of God to settle down in your heart, you can never be transformed. For you can hear the Word of God and receive the Word, but refuse to accept the Word.
I give you an example. You can go to an interview. After you passed, they sent you a letter and told you to accept by writing, “Confirm it that you have accepted the offer.” Then you refused and nobody saw you. Will you hold them responsible? No! Did you receive the letter? Yes! You got it, but you rejected it.
That is exactly what is happening now. You can receive the Word of God. You can hear it, but you do not accept it. For if you accepted it, you would have been acting according to what you heard.
But when you reject it, what did you do? You rejected eternal life. You rejected the right to immortality.
Let us proceed to the Message DO YOU ACCEPT HIM AS GOD? Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday 12th April 2019; Page 72 verse 11. ¹¹FROM TIME TO TIME, RE-EXAMINE YOURSELF WITH THE FAITH OF THE SON OF MAN… Re-examine yourself with what? The Faith of The Son of Man.
…Who is the revealed Christ of your day, for you are going to be judged by His doctrines, by His teachings, by His instructions and commands, whether you like it or not.
That is why from time to time, re-examine yourself by His Faith: [1] The way He sees things. [2] The way He reasons things. [3] The way He wants things done, and not the way you want it. It is not the way you see it and not the way you like it. Are you getting it?
Have it at the back of your mind that if you do not have the Faith of The Son of Man, you can never see things as He [God] sees things, and you can never reason things as He [God] reasons things. Therefore, you cannot pattern after Him.
Do you want to run in vain? Let nothing hinder you from worshipping rightly, as He is helping you and I to do. Watch where He is pointing you to and get rid of every obstacle before you.
All those things that you value so much, count them as nothing just for the Excellency that is in Christ, Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN). Amen.
APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION Volume 2; Page 74 verses 20-22. ²⁰…we ought to tremble with fear because some of you may be on the verge of failing to get there after all.
Please I want us to read that place fully in the Bible before we continue. Read it from Living Bible and Good news. Hebrews 4 verse 1 only.
Although God’s promise still stands—his promise that all may enter his place of rest—we ought to tremble with fear because some of you may be on the verge of failing to get there after all. LB
Now, God has offered us the promise that we may receive that rest he spoke about. Let us take care, then, that none of you will be found to have failed to receive that promised rest. GNB
²⁰…we ought to tremble with fear because some of you may be on the verge of failing to get there after all. ²¹Any name there?
See the question He asked. Is there any name there? Did He call any name? Did He call me or you or anybody?
Any name there? Some of you! I only know Myself. You know yourself. You know what is happening in you.
Have you seen the advice He gave to us in the Message “Harvest Time”? He said, “[1] Know where we are. [2] know what you are doing. [3] Know what is happening in you and [4] around you.
You know what is informing your decisions. You know what is informing your character. ²²THERE IS NO UNBELIEF WITHOUT A CAUSE. THERE IS NO DISOBEDIENCE WITHOUT A CAUSE. And whatever may be that excuse, do you think it is plausible in the sight of God? Do you think that excuse is reasonable enough to convince God?
It is not reasonable enough. Whatever reasons you have is not enough. Whatever that is making you not to pattern yourself according to His instruction and command, is it reasonable enough?
The Almighty God wants you to have it at the back of your mind that anybody can fall within the ambits of “some of you”. Is it not true? Anybody can fall within that.
So we must be careful and continue to check where He is pointing us to and help ourselves at this hour. That is why He said, “Stay in your family”, just like we are here now.
Look at my wife and I, with our two sons and two daughters having our quiet time with the Lord as our focal point Who is asking us to simply check ourselves. This is because, as we are gathered like this and we eat and drink together, we want to continue like that over there.
Our Brother, Bishop Moses was saying yesterday (among his relatives) that we will enjoy Paradise, and if you want to join us in that enjoyment, come to us, “After we have finished this one with you people here, my Brother and I are going to Paradise, but you will not be there. So if you want to join us after this one, see me and see him.” He was confident.
APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION Volume 2; Page 85 verse 60. ⁶⁰Watch all these weak weak elements we are harbouring. What makes you weak? You handle the Word of God with unclean heart…
And remember His advice: “Let Me give you three things that will help you in this hour. [1] Develop a true heart.” This is because if you handle the Word with an untrue heart, it will not work.
Watch all these weak weak elements we are harbouring. What makes you weak? You handle the word of God with unclean heart and you make it ineffective.
For this Word is very effective. That is why He said that once the Word has gone out of His mouth, it cannot come back void. That is why God also said that when you hear any negative Word from God, do not play with it. Do not rest until you have made it right.
This is because as it is going forth, it will not come back void. It will not come back until it has accomplished the purpose for which it was spoken.
When your heart is not united with Christ, make sure you do not quote any promises of God or allow anything God to come to your business. Yes, because we have rolled into a dangerous hour.
Have you heard of the sons of Sceva? That is the hour we are living in. They said, we command you by the God of Paul. The spirit said, “Okay. Who are you? They descended and dealt with them.
Acts 19:13-16, KJV. ¹³Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. ¹⁴And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
¹⁵And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? ¹⁶And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
That is the hour we are in. This is the time that God will vindicate your word as His child. Do you remember what that brother said? He said, “Tap, give us water. We need to drink.” That is the hour that we are living in.
That is why He said, “Stop handling the Word of God with unclean heart”. Warning goes before judgement, for we have rolled into the showdown period.
Let us proceed to the Message, THE DANGER OF COMMITING WILLFUL SIN; Preached by The Son of Man on 27th December 1995; Page 25 verse 13. ¹³There is no way the fear of God can be in your heart until you have the revelation of what your life will be if you deliberately go ahead committing sin.
There is no way the fear of God can be in your heart till you have the revelation of what your life will be if you continue in that thing you are doing. That is why you should pray and say, “Lord, this thing I am doing, open my eyes to see the end of it”.
When David saw the rich men in the world, He said, “Lord, I really desire to be like them o!” But what did God do for David? He opened his eyes to see the end of them, and David said, “God forbid! I do not want it”.
He ran back to God. When God opens your eyes to see what you are doing and the end of it, then the fear of God will come to you. And the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. You will be wise.
There is no way the fear of God can be in your heart until you have the revelation of what your life will be if you deliberately go ahead committing sin. Note it. Willful sin means challenging God’s authority; pulling His legs.
If you know the truth and you go ahead and act contrary to the truth you know, you are challenging God and you are pulling His leg. And if He reacts, you are gone. How is He going to react?
He, your deliverer, will now become your destroyer and now hand you over to reprobate mind. Who will deliver you? Is there anybody that can deliver you from that?
Let us continue to get the message clearer as we go back to the message; DO YOU ACCEPT HIM AS GOD? Page 87 verse 64. ⁶⁴This is because, if I had not come and spoken to you, you will never have any condemnation.
If He has not appeared and spoken to you, you will not have condemnation. But now that He has appeared, what excuse do you have?
Now, I have come [Live], revealed Myself, revealed My New Name and have spoken to you, you have no cloak for your iniquities. No cloak at all. No hiding place.
Now that you know that you have no hiding place and no cloak for your iniquity, what should be your attitude? This is my question. What should be your attitude now?
Think on the wrong ways you are heading, for it will never land you in the right place. Then change your mind, your vision and your views. Make a complete U-turn and run back to God.

You can be sitting down here. Yet, you are not in the Faith of Christ. The devil can sit down here. After all, the devil is an expert in sitting in the congregation of the Saints. You must know what makes you what you are. You must know whether the spirit that is in you is the Spirit of Christ or not. You must know what you esteem higher than the Word of God in your life. And that is where your problem is emanating from. Check that thing you esteem higher than obedience to the truth that is revealed to you by Christ. That is where your problem lies. Often times, we patronize our real enemies ignorantly.

– THE SON OF MAN –

Remember Your Reward Vol. 1 (Be Ye Separate); Preached on Sunday 21^st April, 2019 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Chapter 1 verse 35 – 37

YOUR FUTURE IS TIED TO YOUR FAITH

God said in the Message, SUMMER IS GONE AND THE WINTER IS OVER, BUT MY PEOPLE ARE NOT YET SAVED, that His heart is bleeding because many will be rejected at the dying minute.

Let us look carefully into that Message. It was preached by THE SON OF MAN on Monday morning 6th September 2021; Page 29 verses 38-44. ³⁸Jeremiah 8:19-20, Good News Bible. Listen! Throughout the land I hear my people crying out, “Is the Lord no longer in Zion? Is Zion’s king no longer there?” The Lord, their King, replies, “Why have you made me angry by worshipping your idols and by bowing down to your useless foreign gods?”
Have you seen what made Him angry? Your idols are simply STUBBORNNESS, COVETOUSNESS and REBELLION.
Once you are rebelling against His Word, you are stubborn to His Word, you are covetous; looking for the impossible that cannot be found. You are walking contrary thinking that it will be better for you. He said these are things you do and you annoy Me by them.
The people cried out, “THE SUMMER IS GONE, THE HARVEST IS OVER, BUT WE HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED”. ³⁹Have you seen what I was saying there? Read verse 21. My heart has been crushed because My people are crushed; I mourn; I am completely dismayed.
⁴⁰What I said was seen in verses 20 and 21. When I was shaking My head, what did I say? MY HEART IS BLEEDING. ⁴¹I first of all said that the dreamer said everything but he did not see himself and he did not see his family members. And the only one that was seen was rejected. The only one that was seen was rejected.
⁴²I then likened it to one who is just about to enter the open Gate, but was held by one of the legs. REJECTED AT THE DYING MINUTE.
Is the gate open? The gate is open and we are marching in one after the other. If while you are coming you are held by the leg, can you enter again? No way.
That is why He said, “I liken it to one who is just about to enter the open Gate, but was held by one of the legs. Rejected at the dying minute.”
⁴³It turns out to be that which God had earlier said, “WHOSOEVER THAT CONTINUES TO SIN AGAINST ME, THE PERSON’S NAME WILL I REMOVE FROM MY BOOK OF LIFE”.
⁴⁴He said that the person’s name will be there in the beginning, and will continue to be there, but at the entry point when the roll is called, the person’s name will be removed.
See when the name is removed. Not before o! At the roll call, that is when it will be removed.
What is my emphasis? I want you to see that we are at the entry point. The Lord saw it and He is telling us to be careful.
He has shown us an example using the bank. You came with your friend and you are trying to enter the bank. Your friend has entered the bank, but you are outside. You tried, but no way. You do everything, but no way. While your friend is inside processing what he wants, you are outside.
What rejected you is inside you and that is what God is pointing to us.
Now that we have heard very clearly from the Lord, in all the Messages we have gone through this morning, what is the consolation?
SUPERNATURAL OCCURRENCES IN THE BRIDE; Preached by THE SON OF MAN on 8th August 1998; Page 42 verses 25 and 26. ²⁵I AM SAYING THAT WE HAVE COME TO THE END OF THE JOURNEY. Is it not true? 1998!
If the Lord never pushed you out up till now, why then do you like to push yourself out? You have survived the worst hit and you are now on the resting ground. Why should you push yourself out?
That is the truth. Why should you push yourself out? You were trying to cause separation and I brought you back. Why do you want to continue that way. Why?
²⁶Thus, if by God’s Grace you have found yourself to the end of the Ministry, that goes to show that from the beginning of the Earth, God has purposed that He must save you because you never brought yourself to this point. God brought you to this point. Why not put your hands together for God!
I want to remember the voice (of Evangelist Ben Okezue) that spoke to us at the burial (of the Queen of Paradise) which said, “Whether you like it or not, God has decided to save this family. If you are fighting it, you will be wounding yourself”.
He has decided to save you. If He has not decided to save you, are you bigger than Him? He would have pushed you away. Since He has decided, then why not also join Him in deciding same, for He has brought you to this point.
Let us return back to the message; SUMMER IS GONE AND THE WINTER IS OVER, BUT MY PEOPLE ARE NOT YET SAVED; Page 88 verses 39-44. ³⁹And that was Isaiah 8:20, so that we will know what was said there. ⁴⁰A version went to the extent of telling you, “I AM BLACK.
Reverend Billy Graham told the thing clearly. He said, “Look, He is not a white man like me. And He is not even as black as some of you”. Why? Because Bro Branham has described Him as coffee colour.
A version went to the extent of telling you, “I AM BLACK. I am a Blackman like you”. I should have your infirmities with Me. Your joy is My joy. Your sorrow is My sorrow. What a loving Father.
⁴¹Why should you perish? Have you not been taught? Is there anything pertaining to God, godliness and contentment which you do not know? What then is left?
⁴²Be it known to you that it is the one who believes in God that He calls with His Word. If you do not believe My Spoken Word, you do not believe the written Word and you do not believe the Prophets, which one will you then believe.
He has spoken. We can go back to the written word and support it like we are doing. We go back to the Prophets like William Branham and others and see what they said about what is happening with us today. If you cannot believe it, what then will you believe?
⁴³That is why God told you, “That thing that is comforting you, examine it very well to know whether it contains the truth, lest you will be living in self-deceit, where something is comforting you, yet it contains no truth”.
That is why He said if we want to run away from “had I known”, we should start addressing ourselves now.
⁴⁴If there be truth in that thing which is comforting you, God will equally tell you to remain steadfast in it for there is truth in it.
If there is truth there, He will tell you. But as long as He has told you there is no truth there, run away from it and do that which is pleasing to Him.
The question I have for you is: Are you really sincere with your worship of the true and living God? If you are truly sincere with your worship, when you go wrong or err, you do not wait for somebody to indict or correct you. You earnestly go on your knees weeping and seeking the face of God.
I gave you [my family] here an example using your mother. I said, “When we were under the law, a voice went forth (at the Household in Jos) talking about there being a Jezebel in the camp. She did not wait, she went on her knees and said, ‘God, I want to know the Jezebel whether it is me so that I can change’.”
Have you seen it? She did not apply it to any other person. Rather, she said, “God, this Jezebel, I want to know whether I am the one. Father, speak to me and let there be a witness”.
Immediately, something told me to leave my office and go home. I was working at NASCO foods. I just walked into the house and the voice went forth, the tongues and the interpretation, “He said you are not the Jezebel my daughter. You are not the Jezebel.” Has He answered the question? Yes, because she was desiring it.
That is what God wants now. That if you earnestly are taking your worship of this God seriously and He has taught you, and you find something happening to you, why not cry to Him? Is He not our helper?
He is our Helper, and He is ready to help us at all times. You go on your knees and seek the face of the Lord. He will surely turn to you.
Let us turn again to the Message, IF YOU KNOW THE VALUE OF GOLD, PRESERVE IT; Page 144 verses 39. ³⁹THE PRAYER THAT MAKES THE GREATEST IMPACT IS NOT THE ONE WE PRAYED FOR YOU,…
Daddy is praying for everybody and mummy is praying, but the prayer that makes the impact is not the one we are praying. Listen to the one that will make the great impact.
THE PRAYER THAT MAKES THE GREATEST IMPACT IS NOT THE ONE WE PRAYED FOR YOU, BUT THE ONE YOU HAVE PRAYED FOR YOURSELF. Good!
In the example I gave to you, who prayed the prayer? Mummy prayed the prayer for herself. The prayer that makes the greatest impact is the one you prayed for yourself.
THE WISHES THAT WILL MAKE THE GREATEST IMPACT IS NOT THE ONE THAT IS COMING FROM OTHERS, BUT THAT WHICH YOU HAVE WISHED YOURSELF.
So my question is: What prayer are you praying for yourself? And what are you really wishing yourself? All is in your hands. If you pray for yourself, God will do it. If you wish yourself well, He will also wish you what you wish yourself.
Let me draw the curtain on the topic we are considering by going back to the Message we started with, which is, OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE Part 2; Page 45 verses 27-34. We are drawing the curtain.
²⁷When people were truly sincere with their worship, whenever they erred or they went wrong and the prophet of God appears or a man of God appears who is God’s representative, they themselves run to that man, kneel and begin to weep. Nobody indicts or corrects them. Just the appearance of the prophet.
Have you seen it? They err, but they are sincere and they run to God. Now God is going to give us an example.
²⁸Remember Jesus Christ was the prophet. Was there any day he invited Mary Magdalene? I am using one example.
²⁹And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. [Luke 7:37-38 KJV]
Did He invite her? No. She is a sinner. The people were saying, “Does this Man really know that this lady is a sinner?” She knew and He also knew it, but look at revelation. She knew that this man is God. She came and bought a very expensive alabaster oil and anointed Him, washed His leg with her tears, wiped it with her hair, begging for mercy.
And the Bible told us that seven evil spirits were casted from her. Did she go back to become the same again? Did He call her at any time?
³⁰Was there any day he invited Zacchaeus? You remember Zacchaeus on the tree? Did He invite him? The short man could not see and he climbed a tree. Anybody invited him? No.
³¹And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give the poor; and if I have taken anything from any Man by false accusations, I restore him fourfold.
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For THE SON OF MAN is come to seek and to save that which was lost. [Luke 19:8-10 KJV]
³²Did He tell any of them to make confessions? That settles the matter. Let he that has understanding, let him hear and understand what the spirit is saying;
That the LORD is not looking for any confession from you. What He wants you to do is change, obey Him and then get the entitlement. You are entitled to it. It is your own. It is your right. Take it! When it comes glorify God who helped you.
³³But today, so called sons and daughters of God will lose shamefacedness and will even commit crimes before the Lord. ³⁴The Lord will tell them, “You did this; You did this”. Instead of falling prostrate, they have a defense before the Almighty to justify their actions.
Will the Lord say that you have a question to answer, and you become careless about it? No! You do not play with it. You take it seriously, knowing that you need that immortality.
So whatever is that hindrance, get rid of it and get what is important. You must see the importance of something before you can take it and throw away the other thing that is not necessary.
Do not ever allow yourself to fall to the point where your Deliverer will become your destroyer. Then who will deliver you? Once the Almighty God hands you over to the spirit of delusion, who will deliver you? Nobody.
In closing, read OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE Part 2; Page 49 verse 40-43. ⁴⁰The moment you refuse to retain the knowledge of God, the knowledge of Christ in your heart, the revealed Word in your day, the Almighty God MUST surely hand you over to the spirit of delusion.
⁴¹Who will hand you over? Almighty God! Who will deliver you then? Your Deliverer has now become your destroyer because of what you have decided to make yourself.
⁴²Nobody is perishing because God wants that person to perish. Somebody is perishing because he wants to perish. Somebody is perishing because he wants to perish.
⁴³The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, NOT DESIRING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD TURN TO REPENTANCE. [2 Peter 3:9 AMP]
Finally, have it at the back of your mind that your entire future is tied to your faith.
OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE Part 2; Page 58 verse 6-7. Your entire future is tied to your Faith. ⁶When you are misbehaving yourself, you are mocking your faith. You are mocking God. You are blaspheming the name of the Most High God. You are causing the heathens to ridicule the Name of the Most High God and the Faith of Christ. Wherein lies your eternal hope; your eternal salvation. True or false?
⁷If a mad man sets his house ablaze, when the sun and rain come, where will he run to? That is why God said, “BE VERY CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT USE YOUR MOUTH OR WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOU TO CUT DOWN THE TREE THAT GIVES YOU SHELTER”.
Let it be known to you that that Tree is Apostle Peter Odoemena (BBHMHN). He is that Tree in the midst of the Garden of Paradise, the Tree of life. What is your choice and your decision? As I say Remain blessed.
OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE Part 2; Page 60 verse 9. ⁹You have used your hand to destroy your security, your shelter and your refuge. Where then will you run to? That is the last question I close with.
On this note I say remain in your sanctified estate. Remain blessed in Him eternally.
That is the much we will take. To God be the Glory. Amen. Thank you for paying attention to this Message. I am sorry I have over-laboured you, but it is not in vain. It is not to punish you, but to rekindle the light of hope in you.
On this note, we call on our Pastor, Wisdom to come and close in a brief word of prayer.
