MANY PREFER MARRIAGE TO ETERNAL LIFE

Before I will open these Scriptures I have here, I want to make a very hard statement. Oftentimes you hear Me say that men do not worship God. They worship their wives. Wives do not worship God. They worship their husbands.

It will take somebody who is spiritual and intelligent to say Amen to it, both man and woman. It is for that cause that the Almighty God decided to take for Himself a wife so that He cannot nullify His first injunction to man.
He gave the first man, Adam a wife as a help, for it is not good for one to stay alone. He needed a help meet for his needs. He never gave Adam a mate.
It was not until 17^th century that interpreters started misinterpreting what God spoke and even documented, “Help! H-E-L-P; Meet! M-E-E-T” for the man’s needs.
Reference: Genesis 2:18, KJV. ¹⁸And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.
¹⁸Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him.”
NIV: The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
RSV: Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
MSG: God said, “It’s not good for the Man to be alone; I will make him a helper, a companion.” …
TLB: ^[18]And the Lord God said, “It isn’t good for man to be alone; I will make a companion for him, a helper suited to his needs.”
CJB: ^[18]Adonai, God, said, “It isn’t good that the person should be alone. I will make for him a companion suitable for helping him.”
Wicked people misinterpreted it by the guidance of the devil and started calling it a “Help mate”. God never gave Me a “help mate”. From that “Help mate”, they [I mean men] subdued women to the lowest ebb.
Remember, He [ADONAI] placed them on equal platform. The punishment that came to Eve due to disobedience was “Because you have done that, which I said you should not do, all your desires from now henceforth MUST be upon your own husband. And he shall from now henceforth, bear rule over you.” It was a punishment decreed because of evil.
REFERENCE: Genesis 3:16, KJV. Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
It was a cross. And because of that cross, Christ went to Calvary for cursed was the man who was hanged on the tree to remove that curse, to set free those that were in bondage because of that cross and place the man and the woman on equal platform as human beings as far as salvation from God is concerned.
The man is not accountable to the woman. And the woman is not accountable to the man. A man cannot save a woman. A woman cannot save a man. If your husband is your God, go to him for eternal life. If your wife is your God, go to her and obtain it.
For whosoever that has that eternal life is the only wise God, the Omnipotent in Whom alone dwelleth life eternal, and He does not have any deputy on that. Nobody deputizes Him. It is only His own exclusive preserve.
That is why thumbprint is necessary to avoid making mistakes, that the sins of the Father cannot be used against the son unless the son is a partaker of it. It cannot be used against the wife except the wife is a partaker of it.
That is the reason we put the entire family out of the Faith, for it was a family evil. The wife knew it and did nothing. The children knew it and kept quiet. So, evil thrived. Instead, he gave a warning, “Any day you make it known to any Brother or Sister or to the son of man, you will vanish from this house”, threatening hell upon the family.
That is why, take note of it. Any man that takes delight in marking the wife, claiming it is love, fooling the wife into believing that her husband is marking her because he is jealous over her, that woman is a fool. She is blind.
The man is marking his wife to cover her eyes so that she will never suspect anything foul play or infidelity on the man. That is why you see them laughing together, having everything in common, and the man pretending to be close to the wife when he is far away. And the wife who is sincere acknowledges the man as such.
In any family where you see such a relationship, if God does not come the way of that man, he must commit incest, for he may carry them to his daughters and to his relations he should not have touched. The unsuspecting wife will not even have reasons to ever pry into such movements and relationships.
Let us be very careful. He that does what is good will like to be published, but he that does evil will like to close everybody’s mouth.
In a family where there is commit and hide, which is evidence of willful sin, evil thrives very much there. The wife is under threat, “Any day you disclose it to the son of man or to anybody, I will sack you.”
Then women who prefer marriage to eternal life will now give in completely in obedience to the silly husband who is tricking them into believing that he loves them.
If you love them, you will show them the truth, abide in the truth and guide them into the truth. Be in front and let them follow you. Why do you preach one thing and do another thing.
Why do you preach love and give them the impression that you are in love, when you are full of wickedness against them?
Looking at Chinedu and the way he stays together with the wife even in the shop, of which I cried against the first day, “Go to your business. Allow your wife if you want to thrive.”
Look at it. I have investigated all of them, but My feet never stepped into any of their shops. I do not know where they are till this day. I never consecrated any. I allowed the Pastors to do that. I only hear that they are somewhere, but I have never stepped My feet, not even in their house. I have never! What am I going there to look for? I do not have anything that could attract Me there.
I thank God that he is of the same father and the same mother with Pastor Chizoba Udochukwu who is in charge of Onitsha. And all of them are living together over the years.
Looking at the way he runs around the wife, staying together and holding the hand, you might be thinking that he is in love.
He is doing it, as we heard it from the daughter, to blind the mother from noticing what he is doing, making the mother to know that the man is self-consumed, self-absolved and that he does not make friends with women out there, even when the man is the worst.
For that reason, run for your life, for the life of your soul is at stake. All of you are betrayed, not the son of man Do you not know that an evil man among you has already rendered all of you defiled? The presence of that evil fellow has defiled many.
That is why, from that Tuesday, I swang into action with a few elders who were with Me from investigation to summoning them, which culminated into not only expelling them from our midst alone, but evicting them from their home of residence with immediate effect.
With the solidarity given to Me by even friends who are heathens on the street, they were evicted, and they left for their hometown. By 6pm, they had already crossed Nkwelle Ezunaka.
They got home between 11pm and 12midnight. They had to travel through Uzo-Uwani leaving their home open and shop open.
We evicted them, for they should not be traced along any of our streets. And their feet will never step on Nsugbe soil till eternity.
Anybody who collects anything to eat from them has already contacted tuberculosis. Something greater than tuberculosis will afflict that fellow.
And the heathens came all out in support, for heaven and earth condemned that action. What they did was a condemnable thing.
Does it mean that there are no sinners among us? There are people that are committing worse crimes against themselves.
Chinedu and the wife might not be the worst. There are too many families where their children are guilty of this incest. It is going on between their sons and their daughters.
It is going on in one way or the other between their maidservants and their husbands– between even their own sisters and every other thing under the watching eyes of the father and the mother.
Many that have discovered it are afraid of disclosing it, lest disclosing it will ruin their integrity and dignity. I think I have received too many reports of parents before their eyes watching their sons bringing in little, little girls into their homes and defiling them in their presence.
One happened here in Onitsha. One Ifeanyi Onah. The mother came and the father equally came, telling me that they were trying to use axe to hack down the door, and that they went to the mother of the little girl and so on.
I said, “You are stupid to report your failure to Me that your son came out and warned you that if you try it again on his door, that will be the end of your life.” For that reason, you resorted to going to the heathens.
Men have failed themselves. Women have also failed. I will show you Scriptures that men do not worship God. They worship their wives. Have I not been telling you? I believe I heard it in My prayer before we read Scriptures.

We were in bondage in all the denominations. We were in bondage in the Pentecostal. We were in bondage in the Anglican church. We were in bondage in Roman Catholic, in different churches and now we have a Leader. Be very careful the way you follow Him. For He will never forgive our transgression. Be very careful for He is a very spiritual man and one that will follow Him must follow Him spiritually. Did you get the Message? You know our Leader? THAT WAS THE MAN THAT PROPHET WILLIAM BRANHAM WAS LOOKING AT AND THE SAME MAN MOSES WAS LOOKING AT. He never failed them. And He can never fail us. But we are mixed.

THE SON OF MAN

MIXED MULTITUDE PART 1; Preached on 3^rd March 1993 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 40 vs. 97 – 99

ANY INTEREST OUTSIDE CHRIST IS WORLDLY

1 Corinthians 7:32-35, AMP. ³²My desire is to have you free from all anxiety and distressing care. … Note! “…My desire….” This was Saint Paul’s day. First Messenger of the first Church Age. Look at Him there – Faith. He came with Faith. The type of Faith that changes human life for the better if only they will believe.

And the son of man, whenever he will be here, will He find that Faith. God knew that there will be too many Messengers that will come after the total departure from the Faith so as to restore that Faith.

Look at Saint Paul. It was after him [AD 70] that the Faith departed. Apostacy reigned. We could not see Apostles again, until Reformers took over during the Roman reign. Reformers continued. Until the day of William Branham, the rest were Reformers. Faith was completely lost and forgotten.
And the LORD Jesus Christ knew this. Before Paul appeared, He had already unveiled it when He said, “When the son of man shall come, shall He find Faith?” He knew that there must be a total departure from the Faith. Then, apostacy will reign.
³²My desire is to have you free from all anxiety and distressing care. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord–… The unmarried man is anxious about the things of God.
…how he may please the Lord; ³³But the married man is anxious about worldly matters–how he may please his wife- -… The married man is anxious about what? Worldly matters and how he may please his own wife.
³⁴And he is drawn in diverging directions… He is drawn in divergent directions. His interests are divided. We will know who takes the greater share of his interest, whether worldly or Christ.
Whatever interest you are showing outside Christ is worldly interest.
EVERYTHING WILL END IN THIS WORLD. MARRIAGE ENDS IN THIS WORLD. YOUR UNION AND YOUR BED, THE END IS IN THIS WORLD, FOR THERE IS NO MARRIAGE IN PARADISE WHERE WE ARE GOING TO.
YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE ANGELIC LIFE THE WAY GOD ORDAINED IT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING, SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END.
³³But the married man is anxious about worldly matters–how he may please his wife– ³⁴And he is drawn in diverging directions [his interests are divided and he is distracted from his devotion to God]. …
He is what? He is distracted from his devotion to God. His devotion now is how to please his wife and do every thing so that his wife will always be rejoicing, “What a wonderful husband I have.”
Are you surprised why God decided to take for Himself a wife that will show her interest in things concerning heaven [eternal life] and be a part of the husband’s Ministry?
If you say you are married, what is your Ministry? Who is your wife? What is the role played by your wife in that Ministry? Or has your wife not disarmed you of that calling?
Too many received glorious calling from God, but were disarmed by their wives. In the bid to satisfy the insatiable desires and demands of the wife and their worldly children, they forgot their calling completely.
That is why all of them are sitting down when the Messiah who brought them to be His co-labourers is still standing. When they got tired, He [the Messiah and the Almighty God] decided to go for minors.
First INTERLUDE [The August visitation as announcement by the son of man Himself]: What is pushing that door? Go ahead! I am not surprised. Did you not hear the noise on the door? Good!
… And the unmarried woman or girl is concerned and anxious about the matters of the Lord, how to be wholly separated and set apart in body and spirit; but the married woman has her cares [centered] in earthly affairs–… The married woman also has her cares centered on what? Earthly affairs.
second INTERLUDE [The announcement by the son of man Himself of the August visitation continues]: Everybody heard it from there. No wind! Nothing! But somebody attended this Fellowship. Somebody walked in here. Thank God you all heard the noise.
I said I am bleeding in My heart. And I believe that right there, that of My wife is bleeding because she knew how much and the extent she went tutoring Chinedu, the wife and the children when they came back from Kano and found themselves in our midst.
She devoted her money and her materials even when thieves robbed them and took away the little thing they came with. She supplied all to make sure they never died of starvation, supplying food, supplying materials, establishing and paying the rent.
… but the married woman has her cares [centered] in earthly affairs–… Tell Me if there be any woman today in our midst here in Onitsha or elsewhere we can point our newly married wives unto for spiritual grooming, “Groom my wife spiritually for me Sister.” Is there any? Tell Me any who is now walking together with the wife or husband to achieve God’s goal. Not even one.
Rather, they feel discomforted each time their husbands rise up to do the work of God. The wife will feel discomforted. She will be feeling neglected.
That is why you can hardly see any of them travelling out with Me, when I noticed that, even if we travel out, trouble will ensue there. I went to Lagos with an Apostle and others, I told him to come with his wife, trouble ensued in Lagos between him and his wife because the wife wanted him to stay around her always, neglecting the missionary outing. He could not agree. We had to persuade him, “Since that is her desire, go there!”
Trouble ensued even in the vehicle while we were coming. Nobody could listen to the sermon being preached anymore because of the sharp disagreement. What was the offence? The man’s refusal to agree with the wife just to lie in the bed when others were doing the work of the Ministry.
Now, has she succeeded today? Yes! The man is now sitting down. All of them are now sitting down. They can only do the work of God by command from the LORD. If I say, “This is what I want you to do for Me”, they will do that and stop there. They now walk as robots.
Christ did something for Me very quiet and simple just to test their patience, loyalty and spirituality. Some of them, they will like to impose. They will only create jobs for Me to start all over.
… but the married woman has her cares [centered] in earthly affairs– how she may please her husband.
Who is the worshipper? Who is the man worshipping? Who are they pleasing? They are pleasing each other. Are they pleasing God? Even if it means uniting after ungodly sorts provided both parties are pleased.
Tell Me how a man can come out to please the wife without displeasing God. Tell Me how a woman can come out to please the husband without displeasing God. it is impossible. It is impossible. I hope you aRe hearing Me.
It is only when you come having your affection fixed on Christ and Christ alone that you can now do HONEST SERVICE TO YOUR HUSBAND OR TO YOUR WIFE.
In the attempt to please God, you will notice that every child of God will be pleased with you. Anyone who is not pleased with you when you are pleasing God, when you have placed God first, and they are witnessing it in your life– Anybody who does not line up with you is against you. That is the anti-Christ in your house. Whether man or woman or children, I do not care.
Evidences abound that wicked husbands unite with the wife after ungodly sorts. They join hands together to disobey God. Do you believe that to be true?
³⁵Now I say this for your own welfare and profit, not to put [a halter of] restraint upon you, but to promote what is seemly and in good order and to secure your undistracted and undivided devotion to the Lord. Amen!
To secure your undistracted and undivided devotion to God. The aim is to secure it.
1 Corinthians 7:32-35, TLB. ^[32]In all you do, I want you to be free from worry. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord’s work and thinking how to please him.
^[33]But a married man can’t do that so well; he has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. ^[34]His interests are divided.
It is the same with a girl who marries. She faces the same problem. A girl who is not married is anxious to please the Lord in all she is and does.
But a married woman must consider other things such as housekeeping and the likes and dislikes of her husband. The likes and dislikes of her husband, not God o.
^[35]I am saying this to help you, not to try to keep you from marrying. No! I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best,… Do whatever you know you can do to do what? Serve the LORD first and best.
^[35]I am saying this to help you, not to try to keep you from marrying. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best,… B-E-S-T. …with as few other things as possible to distract your attention from him.
Only a few other things can distract your attention. What could be those few other things? It varies from one individual to another. Trivial things!
^[35]I am saying this to help you, not to try to keep you from marrying. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few other things as possible to distract your attention from him. Amen!
That was in the days of saint Paul. Is it contradicting what I am teaching? Did I say you should not marry? It is an obligation that is not meant for everybody.
A condition for hell or heaven, depending on how you understand your own. If you see your own as a do or die affair, as your alpha and omega and your greatest achievement that demands your total loyalty and service, it is up to you.
REFERENCE: Matthew 19:11-12, MSG. ^11-12But Jesus said, “Not everyone is mature enough to live a married life. It requires a certain aptitude and grace. Marriage isn’t for everyone. Some, from birth seemingly, never give marriage a thought. Others never get asked—or accepted. And some decide not to get married for kingdom reasons. But if you’re capable of growing into the largeness of marriage, do it.”
If you place it first before God, up to you, for that makes you an idolater because you are now serving the interest of a Jezebel. A Jezebel is serving the interest of an Ahab, for it takes an Ahab to marry a Jezebel.
Ahab was a child of God who loved the things of God, but got married to a social woman who is after socialization and sophistication instead of spirituality.
Socialization and sophistication are strongly against spirituality. He that lives in the flesh cannot please God, for the flesh is opposed to the spirit. True or false? this is because the carnally-minded is in enmity with God.
If these two cannot convince anybody, if I read the Message Bible (MSG), it will say the same thing. So, let us be very careful.
Many are worshipping idols they have already erected in their homes with their own hands and not the living God – not the true God.
Tell Me if there be any man who is doing his best, who is doing everything within his power to give God the best of service. Is there any married man you can mention who is doing everything within his power to make sure that he does not stumble and that he does not make shipwreck– who is ready to forfeit his life for what he knows is truth and is right in the sight of God?
But they can risk their lives to meet the demands of their wives. And the wives can risk their lives to meet the demands of their husbands, even to debase and dishonor themselves just to please that devilish husband who cannot do God a service according to His will.
How do you know them? They only buffet their wives about. They make sure they engage them in every kind of activity so that there would not be time for them at all, even to study the Word, to pray or to meditate.
They equally make their laws that no Sister will ever come to their house to begin to ask for any other thing. We do not talk of the Brethren. That one is too far away.
When you say the Brethren, only the house of THE SON OF MAN is good enough for Brethren to come in. Day and night, they are at liberty, but not because they want to gossip.
They were milling here more when she was here than now, although they have never ceased because the same accommodation is still there for all and sundry.
But they are scared. Wicked people are scared because an evil man is scared by a righteous man. The very eyes of God, they cannot see.
Those who left here yesterday, left speechless. I wonder whether they will just testify to their fellow Brethren of their encounter with the son of man and the Elders who were here with Me sorrowing and trying to work out a plan that will be fitting for the trouble we found ourselves in, which was caused by one family – one unrepentant family.

I am here. I say, I am Here. And because I am here, you are here. When you look for Me and you do not see Me, weep! I say, weep. However, as long as I am here, I still believe I AM YOUR CONSOLATION, BECAUSE I AM A PERFECT GUIDE. Yes! I am not giving you instruction from behind. I am leading in front so that if there is any pit, I will fall in first. I signed My life in. So I am involved. You have every cause to glorify God. If by now, nobody from anywhere, even from the moon, has succeeded in defeating you. I mean, disarming you, let it be known to you that you have won your battle.

THE SON OF MAN

GOD IS REVEALED/MARRIAGE VOWS; Preached on Sunday 7^th November 1999 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 61 vs. 31 – 32

THE SON OF MAN IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD

Proverbs chapter 4 from verse 11 through 22. We read it yesterday. Use Living Bible translation. ^[11]I would have you learn this great fact: that a life of doing right is the wisest life there is. ^[12]If you live that kind of life, you’ll not limp or stumble as you run. ^[13]Carry out my instructions; don’t forget them, for they will lead you to real living. Do what?

Carry out My instructions. You will do well. You will not regret. Live as I say you should live, for I am your Guide and your Teacher, your Instructor. I am your Saviour. I know what it takes to meet My righteous demands.
The Divinity is in Me. The Deity (the Godhead) is in Me. The Majesty is in Me. And I hold the Word of eternal life. I do not boast. I know who I am. I am He. I know My mission on earth.
^[14]Don’t do as the wicked do.
^[15]Avoid their haunts—turn away, go somewhere else, ^[16]for evil men can’t sleep until they’ve done their evil deed for the day. …
Evil men do not sleep until they have done their evil deeds for the day. Does an evil fellow sleep? When he or she goes to bed, so the brain will be at work as the fellow thinks about evil endlessly. His prayer is only for daybreak.
… They can’t rest unless they cause someone to stumble and fall. ^[17]They eat and drink wickedness and violence!
^[18]But the good man walks along in the ever-brightening light of God’s favour; the dawn gives way to morning splendour, ^[19]while the evil man gropes and stumbles in the dark.
^[20]Listen, son of mine, to what I say. Listen carefully. ^[21]Keep these thoughts ever in mind; let them penetrate deep within your heart, ^[22]for they will mean real life for you and radiant health.
Proverbs chapter 13 from verse 18. Living Bible translation. ^[13]Despise God’s Word and find yourself in trouble. … Look down on the Word of God. Disobey the Word of God. You will find yourself in a problem you cannot bear. … Obey it and succeed.
^[14]The advice of a wise man refreshes like water from a mountain spring. Those accepting it become aware of the pitfalls on ahead.
^[15]A man with good sense is appreciated. A treacherous man must walk a rocky road. ^[16]A wise man thinks ahead; a fool doesn’t and even brags about it!
^[17]An unreliable messenger can cause a lot of trouble. Reliable communication permits progress. ^[18]If you refuse criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept criticism, you are on the road to fame.
^[19]It is pleasant to see plans develop. That is why fools refuse to give them up even when they are wrong. ^[20]Be with wise men and become wise. Be with evil men and become evil.
^[21]Curses chase sinners, while blessings chase the righteous!
^[22]When a good man dies, he leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren; but when a sinner dies, his wealth is stored up for the godly.
^[23]A poor man’s farm may have good soil, but injustice robs him of its riches. ^[24]If you refuse to discipline your son, it proves you don’t love him; for if you love him, you will be prompt to punish him. ^[25]The good man eats to live, while the evil man lives to eat.
I decided to read these Scriptures for reasons best known to Me. Be seated.
Pay attention wherever you may be. The Bible is a compendium written at various Ages by various individuals. They are mere handpicked documents. Not even a chapter represented the fullness of what transpired.
So, it is just the summary of events that happened in time past. Everything in the Bible is history except prophecies. The Bible remains your school master, your Guide and your instructor to guide you to the Master. He is the One that will guide you to God. He is the One that will introduce you to who God is or where to find God.
It is a road map just as the law was our school master guiding us to Christ. When Christ came, revealed to us, though He was there from the very official beginning, but was not yet revealed to us.
From the time Christ was revealed to us in human form, the Elohim ceased from using any other instrumentality if not a divine person. One that proceeded from Him Who was Himself God and not a creature.
Others have signs that they proceeded from God, but the fullness of the Godhead dwelleth in Christ bodily. So, whatever the Deity consisted of, the fullness dwells in Christ without measure.
Hence, He is not anything lower than God. Neither is He anything higher than God. The Creator who was there when the world was without form has become a creature living among the creatures He created. This is the mystery of Godliness.
The Creator is now in the midst of His creatures. I mean, the Creator has created Himself to become a human being like other creatures, all to lead, guide and instruct by His examples.
REFERENCE: 1 Timothy 3:16, KJV. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Marriage is ordained by God. Without marriage the way God ordained it, godly human beings will not appear. But that other one was instituted by the devil who is no other person but the same human being who could not control their passions and inordinate desires.
A man that cannot control his temper, control his emotions and impulses, control himself [I mean] is his own devil. He is a devil to himself and to others. He is a cause of offence or a source of upset to the people around him.
Remember, when you are dancing to the tune of the devil, the world will not persecute you. The world will not criticize you because you are doing what they are doing. But the moment you believe in God, supernatural things will begin to happen around you.
That is why I believe that it takes supernatural beings to believe the supernatural God. And supernatural things will only happen around supernatural believers.
So, please, take note this morning. I have been talking and talking all these years. I think I am tired of talking. I do not know any that represented God here that had spoken more than Me.
I cannot lay hand on any that has imparted positively in the life of many, if you know who I am. I spanned from the very foundation of the world till now. So, for you to have done a service greater than Me, it then means you were there before Me.
I want to make it clear that Bible does not contain eternal life. The Bible is still relevant today because of too many prophecies that are there that have not come to pass. They are relevant to you, but not to the son of man.
Whoever that God sends speaks the Word of God in that Age. If the Word of God is not spoken, it cannot be written. The Word went forth. Those who heard it documented it. Some were documented by the vessel God used according to the instruction for posterity.
As long as I am here, I am the Word made flesh. I hold the Word of eternal life. Only one person was given that authority, and that person is still here till today. Apart from Him, there is no other person God gave the power to give eternal life.
Moses was not conferred with the power. Abraham was not given the power. A greater than Abraham is here. If Abraham was given the power, a greater than Abraham would not have appeared in the days of His children, telling them that before Abraham, He was there – I AM.
REFERENCES: [1] John 8:58, KJV. Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
I mean, a greater than Adam is here. You call Him the first Adam or the second Adam, He is still what He is. Adam was not conferred with eternal life. He never had the authority, for he was utterly made from the dust. No human being today is molded. You are all offspring from the woman. Call Him a King, but He was born by a woman.
Take note of what I am going to say today. The totality of what is in the Bible cannot give you eternal life. You search the Scriptures. You pore over the Scriptures. There you think you have eternal life, but you refuse to accept Me Who has that eternal life. Can we read it?
John 5:39-40, AMP. ^[39]“You search the Scriptures, for you believe they give you eternal life. And the Scriptures point to me! ^[40]Yet you won’t come to me so that I can give you this life eternal!
^[41-42]“Your approval or disapproval means nothing to me, for as I know so well, you don’t have God’s love within you. ^[43]I know, because I have come to you representing my Father and you refuse to welcome me, though you readily enough receive those who aren’t sent from him, but represent only themselves!
^[44]No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honour each other, but you don’t care about the honour that comes from the only God! Amen!
It is not in the Bible. If you like buy the whole translations of the Holy Qur’an. Eternal life is not in any book in the whole world. Since the world began, there has never been a book whose contents give eternal life.
Eternal life is something that is conferred on a man by the authority of the Most High God. When the Most High God does such a selection, He empties Himself into that Vessel.
That was why He never gave it to any human being from Adam till the day Jesus Christ came– He never gave any human being any power beyond divinity power – a sign that that person proceeded from Him. That is the Cloud. The Cloud! That is all.
Only one person has the fullness, and that is the LORD Jesus Christ. That was the power the Jews were asking Him to display. They were trying Him, using every kind of cruel words on Him to display those things because they knew about it.
REFERENCES: [1] Matthew 12:38, AMP. ³⁸Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, Teacher, we desire to see a sign or miracle from You [PROVING THAT YOU ARE WHAT YOU CLAIM TO BE].
[2] Matthew 16:1, AMP. Now the Pharisees and Sadducees came up to Jesus, and they asked Him to show them a sign (spectacular miracle) from heaven [attesting His divine authority].
[3] Mark 8:11-12, AMP. ¹¹The Pharisees came and began to argue with and question Him, demanding from Him a sign (an attesting miracle from heaven) [maliciously] to test Him.

All divine books recorded it that the Elohim never compromised that Glory with any human being, for He is the Almighty Who shares His glory not with any human being. There is no deputy. Allah does not have a partner. God does not partner with anybody as far as eternal life is concerned and as far as eternal judgment is concerned.
That is His own exclusive preserve. No-go-area. He never gave it to Adam. He never gave it to any of them. That was the condemnation Adam had the day he saw apparition and Eve said she saw apparition.
Why did you not enquire from that man who said He is the Almighty and everything. You should have enquired about the Divinity, the Godhead and the Majesty.
So, when the LORD Upbraided them, they took correction. They met the devil when the devil came again and then started to trick them with apparition.
But they said, “No! Get thee away from here! You do not have what you promised us. Do you have the Divinity with you? Do you have the Godhead? Do you have the Majesty?”
The devil himself retorted to them, “You are all foolish. You are all foolish! Did I promise you all these things? Do I have them? These were the things I was coveting, but I could not get them.”
So, if I promised you these things and you believed me, it then means you did not believe your God, for Allah [God] never gave these things to any human being. For that reason, the devil could not lay hand on it.
The LORD Jesus Christ, knowing that His Ministry had not even finished, they were pressing Him to reveal it. He could not! They said, “Show us a sign”, but He said, “Do not worry. I will show you no other sign but the sign of Jonah” which is resurrection from the dead. That’s all!
But they knew that that had been happening even in the Ministry of the Prophets. People have been resurrecting from the dead. They even knew more than that. So, He fooled them.
Throughout the places where Jesus went, there was no Cloud, if not John the Baptist who proceeded from God. Then, the Cloud came and rested on the Messiah and abode. John gave way. That was the Spirit that John was using that left John and tabernacled in the Lamb of God – the LORD Jesus Christ, for the Cloud could not be upon John and upon this One. Immediately, John diminished and gave way.
The Cloud that left Moses and tabernacled on Joshua was the same Cloud. Immediately, Moses diminished. The Cloud that left Branham, no matter how small that Cloud was, is no other Cloud than the one you are enjoying. We are in its fullness.
But not even one was conferred with the Godhead. Not even saint Paul on his way to Damascus. He saw the bright Light which was the white Cloud – the bright Light on his way to Damascus.
But he knew that the LORD Jesus Christ alone had the Godhead. And while saint Paul was speaking, he was still pointing all his people to the perfection that is on the way. He said that they were walking with dim light with imperfect messages.
But when that One who is perfect will be here, He will throw away all imperfections. Without us, they are not perfect. We are to perfect all of them. So, that is why what we are holding is the climax.
The LORD Jesus Christ could not reveal it because if He had done that, the devil who was always following Him about [His greatest enemy] would have capitalized on that and destroyed all things. He would have had it in his authority now to be displaying it. That is why it is never seen in any other personality but the Elohim Himself.
Now, you are privileged to have Him in person for your teacher according to His Words of prophecy, you can see Him walking on two feet here on earth in these last days according to the prophecy of Job, are you a friend or an enemy? Are you meeting Him as a friend or as an enemy?
Who are you giving your allegiance to? To Him or to your worldly cares? Which begins – man to your wife and woman to your husband, and then to other domestic chores and other distractions. Then you will think you are pleasing God.
Many have already gone astray by misplacing their faith. Faith placed any other place– any faith for eternal life that is placed outside Christ is a misplaced faith.
If you have relied on your Bible– your Bible is your Christ. Fine! Go to your Bible and collect your eternal life. Anybody you know that is pulling you or you think that he is directing you to the right path outside Christ revealed in your day, go there and collect eternal life from that person.
For eternal life is vested on one individual, not because He merited it, but that is the Home, the Tabernacle the Almighty God made for Himself, where He dwells. From there, He enriches the whole world.
If you feel you are the one, give that eternal life to yourself and to your family members. It is not when you obey them, please them because of intimidation, harassment and unnecessary boasting.
You are fearing them, but you disrespect God. You prefer pleasing the world to pleasing Christ. You prefer pleasing human beings to pleasing Christ, becoming men pleasers.
Anybody you are obeying, you are the servant of that person whether it be God or a man or the devil. You cannot serve the anti-Christ and expect your reward of eternal life from Christ.
Whoever that is hindering you from obeying God and doing His will is no excuse in the sight of God, for you have the liberty to serve God without anybody hindering you. So, take note of what I am saying.

You do not just because of grace talk randomly or behave randomly. No! Did Jesus behave that way? I AM your Leader. I AM your Apostle. I AM your ALL and ALL. That you feel you are a child of God today is because of Me. Whatever you are holding by which you can now stand and say, “I am saved”, is from Me, for without Me, you can do nothing.

THE SON OF MAN

AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS VOL 1; preached on Sunday 24^th December, 2000 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 142 vs. 22

Suffer with Him, and be glorified with Him

You see what ungodly love has caused in the family of Udochukwu, all the members. How many in number? Six, perishing and disconnected from the Godhead, disowned and then condemned abruptly.

It is not because they committed the worst crime, they reasoned together and vowed never to disclose it until God Himself ripped it open.
By warning that it should not be heard among anybody in our faith, and should not be made known to any human being, that goes to show that they knew that they were in error. They sat on it. Shamelessly, they continued going to market and attending meetings with Onitsha Brethren. May God help us.
It takes God to unveil the level of evil that is hiding under the carpet in many families. That is why I keep on reiterating it wherever I go, “Like the mothers, like the daughters. Like the husband, like his family. Like mother, like her daughters. Like father, like his family.”
If you can disprove it, come up tomorrow. I say, if you can disprove it come up tomorrow. A man marries his character. otherwise, there will be no peace in that house.
Find out whether the peace and harmony, the contentment you are having is through obedience to God or through carnal respect, carnal love for each other that has no bearing in the sight of God– that has nothing to do in the life that Christ gives.
I think it is better that we stand for the truth so that the unbeliever will be made manifest than to compromise with the truth.
God made it clear that in every family where the Word of God is pampered, Sodom and Gomorrah must manifest in that family.
You can see it in the Great Sermon. Pamper your families, overlook their evils, refuse to stand up for the truth of Christ, you must reproduce Sodom and Gomorrah in your family. You must raise Ahab’s family where the wife will have absolute authority.
It is like I heard that because of the way Chinedu compromised his conscience, the wife took over the control of the family. Though he is the provider, the wife is the mouthpiece.
Let us be very, very careful. Who is in control of your family. We have it in Sermon Book. May God help us.
I want to see somebody who will rise up tomorrow to say, “Daddy, why are you condemning this? Are you not guilty of it?”
I have told you everything I know that will save you from God’s wrath. I have lived the life. I am still living the life. I have manifested Christ. God cannot use any impure vessel or unrighteous vessel to achieve His righteousness. He has never done it before. He has never done it before.
I am not boasting. Neither am I bragging. I stand to tell the whole world the entire truth as I know it.
Whoever that doeth what is right is righteous in the sight of God, but if you are fond of doing that which is evil, be careful that you do not destroy yourself and your family even before you get to the end.
Chinedu is not the worst offender. There are too many families that are corrupt, if not all families. Tell Me who that person is that is standing for Christ, and I will show you that that person has not even known who Christ is.
There are many that are desiring to know God and serve his interest, but their wives are holding them hostage. There are so many wives that would want to fulfill the perfect will of God, but their husbands are holding them hostage. There are children like that also. I thank God for where we are now?

ALLELUIA! THIS IS THE WOMAN!

Who is adequate to take the position of Nzubechi SON OF MAN? Aside her daughters that are married, who among our mothers? This is because I do not include My nuclear family when I want to discuss.
Who is adequate to occupy her position in the heart of the Almighty God and in the hearts of the Brethren as a virtuous woman that stood for the truth and died for the truth?
A woman that stood behind the son of man in all respects to make sure that the perfect will of God is carried out, and who preferred seeing her husband making exploits in the missionary trips than sitting at home to entertain Brethren with drinks.
It is not that I will not entertain them, but she felt on top of the world hearing testimonies emanating from all the countries of the world, all credited to the missionary outings of her husband.
Hence, she gave herself over to praying for His success. Helping Him does not mean giving Him food. It does not mean going to bed with Him or raising children. Children are additional responsibilities.
Helping Him means helping Him even in the Word, searching Scriptures, crosschecking Scriptures, writing, helping to train the children in the fear of God, instilling the fear of God in the children and she extended it in training your wives and your daughters.
Hence, her home was a beehive of activities. Since she left the scene, who are they running to, both young and old? Married women among us, who are they running to? I mean, who will share their sorrows? Who will share their woes?
Assuming she is still alive, Chinedu’s wife would have used her [I mean] as a point of opening up. She would have heard it even before Me. Even the little girl would have confided in her, for it is easier for women to talk to their fellow women than to talk to men.
Only those who are bold and courageous, who are in right standing with God can boldly come to the son of man, even if their husbands will say no. They will prefer going to see Him. If he will die, let him die, for it is better. And then the world will hear from her the reason why.
You heard it from My mouth yesterday when I was addressing Nsukka Brethren and pointed this same case of how they hinder their fellow Brethren from seeing THE SON OF MAN when they are volunteering.
Some felt that allowing them to go will mean reporting them. They are afraid, if you are not afraid, why not say, “Ok Brother, you say you want to go and see the son of man. Go! Salute Daddy for Me. I have a letter for Daddy. I have a Message for Daddy. Please go and see Him.”
You can hardly see any. Rather, they will sit down and begin to interview the Brother or the Sister to know the contents of the trip for they are sore afraid of themselves that they might be reported to THE SON OF MAN. They are very much afraid.
And that is why before the person will come back, they will be trembling. Until they hear the person’s encounter with the son of man, they will never eat nor drink.
If you know that you are doing the right thing, why are you afraid when somebody says, “Permit me” or “I am going to see the son of man.” Why are you afraid? Why do you want to know what he is going to discuss?
Even you, why are you afraid of coming? You are afraid of coming. I know that if not for Brother Vin, all of you that are here, you would not have found yourselves here. They said, “Yes sir! Yes sir!” Why?
Even the one who brought them, did he find his feet? But God helped him up, for if he did not come, he would not have noticed how far he has been from the Faith, for he has not even stepped his feet into the Faith.
Yet, he is more than twenty years in our midst without stepping his feet into the Faith. How can the wife now know what the Faith is all about? All of them were shocked from his confessions yesterday because I opened up. So it is with many of you here. So, be very careful.
Now, for those who are disturbing their fellow Brethren, hindering them from serving God, for their sakes, I want to read these Scriptures. And with few statements, I will say bye bye to you.
If you love your life, I will start with what you know very well, and you will name it by the time I will say good bye. Follow Me as I take off.
I am making use of one translation. If there should be change, it should be the Amplified version. So, I am using the Living Bible and then the Amplified version. Keep the rest to yourselves for crosschecking.
John 1:1, 10, 11 & 14, TLB. ^[1]Before anything else existed, there was Christ with God. He has always been alive and is Himself God. … And is what? …is Himself God.
Verse 10. ^[10]But although He made the world, the world didn’t recognize Him when He came. ^[11-12]Even in His own land and among His own people, the Jews, He was not accepted. Only a few would welcome and receive Him. … Only what? …Only a few would welcome and receive Him.
Verse 14. ^[14]And Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness and truth. And some of us have seen His glory—the glory of the only Son of the heavenly Father!
You were with Me when you heard the Voice from Excellent glory, “son of man, I have glorified You, and I will glorify You again.” I have glorified You and I have glorified You. I will glorify You again. This prophecy came from the mouth of our Pastor Nnamdi Ogbogu during Fellowship on one Sunday like that.
We saw too many things contained in that prophecy. Since you are not prepared to suffer with the son of man, how do you expect to be glorified with Him.
Since you are not prepared to work with Him, how are you expecting to be glorified with Him? For when we suffer with Him, we shall be glorified with Him.
In the day He will be glorified together with the Saints, would you not cover your faces in shame? Would you not be regretting that you served diverse interests instead of serving God’s interest, and that you were divided in your interest. You allowed your attention to be distracted from the reality to pursuing shadows.
You were walking about pleasing men and women and displeasing God. And you took delight in it, answering a good man by the crowd. You were interested in walking with the crowd instead of walking with the few, the despised few and the minority.
You chose to walk the way of the world instead of choosing the way meant for the despised few. You were seeking crowd’s approval, and then your life is filled with darkness.
Man or woman, young or old, you have only but One Saviour. You have one God who is the Saviour of us all. And that is Christ. Is it not true?
And Christ means the Saviour, the Messiah, the Anointed One. He is revealed in human form in every dispensation. And Christ has become a human being.
From that day, He ceases to be any other thing than a human being. True or false? From that day, He gave this revelation to those that were following Him that He was not a mere man like them.
Remember, He was talking to His own disciples. He revealed Himself there, and they recorded it for us who will come after so that from that day, we will stop thinking that God is like this or that. We will stop thinking of having an imaginary God.
We are talking about Christ who is Himself God. G-O-D [capital letter], not anything less. That is the Person we are referring to, Who the world could not receive, for they are not looking for Him, and they do not know Him.
Even His own townsmen, his countrymen were not looking for Him, and they could not accept Him. Even when He revealed Himself, they could not.
Is it any wonder why He returned and announced it to the people, “MY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ME” [on 29^th April 2001] He was trying to introduce Himself, seeing that they knew Him not. He began His introduction and has remained introducing Himself for 33 good years now. Yet, they have not known Him.
They have known Him, but they do not want to believe in Him. They think that believing in Him means demeaning their personal ego.
The people I met here are too egocentric, too self-possessed, self-preserved that to believe God means debasing themselves or dropping their pride. So, it is too much for them.
That is why, man and woman, they are after everything that will improve their social ego – worldly ego.
I just give God the praise that I am still alive. Even when My wife departed, I know the last words we shared together, “Nna m o! Do not permit what the Brethren will be manifesting from now that I am not here to ever discourage You or cause You to hate them. Do not permit it.”
I said, “You know I have a larger heart. I have a very large heart – a larger heart than their troubles, but I must tell them the truth.” We spoke many things together, but that is not why I am here. Take note of where I have taken off.
