IMMORTALITY OF TRUTH APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE SON OF MAN VOL 1 of 2. Preached On 15th August, 2023. By Bishop Fryde Okoh Household of God Enugu, Nigeria. Approved and Authorized By Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN

INTRODUCTION

  1. We are all blessed, and let this peace we are enjoying in the presence of God Almighty continue to illuminate our hearts.
  2. We have come to another day God created since the world began to rehearse and refresh our minds with the messages, He, Almighty God has been espousing us to for many years now; which lifts us up to a spiritual level and places us on a pedestal from where we can view the world and it’s attendant spiritual problems.
  3. We will continue to glorify Almighty God for allowing us to see this new day. Many went to bed yesterday but they never saw today. Is it not glorious? It is not because we are better than them but His love and mercy projected.
  4. People normally find it extremely difficult to say or believe the Truth because this world we are in now is roped with articles of falsehood. Things that are uncreated by God which can reshape our minds with negative influences if we are not careful and spiritually filled.
  5. The characters we manifest or exhibit were an articulate way of expressing the doubts and suspicions that had been lurking in the back of our minds for a long time.
  6. Truth is but one; thy doubt are of thine own raising. He who made virtues what they are, planted also in thee a knowledge of their pre-eminence. Act as Soul dictates to thee, and the end shall be always right.” Unto thee I Grant.
  7. We are called to worship God “in spirit and in truth” and that personality is the only true God and self existing One.
  8.  “Your God is one God; there is no God save Him, the Beneficent, the Merciful.” (Surah 2:163MMP).”
  9. Listen O Israel: Jehovah our God is One Jehovah.”( Deut.6:4) Again Jesus repeated same in Mark 12:29-30 “The most important one “Jesus answered” is this; Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One.
  10. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”(NLT) This is a Great Truth.
  11. French writer, P. Valadier elaborated on this when he wrote that “It was the Christian tradition that produced atheism as its fruit; it led to the murder of God in the consciences of men because it presented them an unbelievable god.” A god filled with false doctrines.
  12. Everything in this world today are mostly artificial and is manipulated by the unrealistic energy controlling the entire universe. You can’t find anything original again except the Manifestation of Almighty God in the midst of the Bride; the Oracle of Truth and love.
  13. Our prayers should be that God should help us at this material and challenging time to prove our faith in Him. We should try to confirm this Truth by ourselves that the true God can be found and He is real.
  14. We have in the past navigated through other religious waters before we embraced this Faith, but we found nothing there except human errors, full of speculations and deceit.
  15. “Know thou, not understanding, that in this is error: custom cannot alter the nature of truth; neither can the opinion of man destroy justice; the glory and shame are misplaced.” Author unknown.
  16. “If you are the type that mingle with the heathens in your community in everything they do; you live the way they live; do things the way they do; if you come out tomorrow and tell them to repent, do you think they will listen to you.” Pastor Wisdom Odoemena- from the Message- REMEDY FROM DEVIL’S STRONG HOLD–preached on 11/4/2020. Page 45:37.
  17. We can see that the traditional cultures you get yourself entangled with cannot alter what the Message of Truth has revealed to us about the negative influences that will arise from such association.
  18. What is your conscience telling you, are you walking with them? You can’t deny this fact. We know our activities, individually and collectively. “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Amos 3:3 KJV.
  19. “Do two walk together, unless they have agreed” Amos 3:3 YNT.
  20. Those of us who have vehemently refused to follow the laid down rules by our leader will finally regret our disobedience.
  21. “He will completely fool those who are on their way to hell because they have said “no” to the Truth; they have refused to believe it and love it, and let it save them, so God will allow them to believe lies with all their hearts, and all of them will be justly judged for believing falsehood, refusing the Truth, and enjoying their sins.” 2 Thess. 2:10. (LB)
  22. NOTE THIS GODLY STATEMENT VERY WELL “Anybody that is a child of God from the very beginning till today and has been listening to the Words of the Son of Man, has attained a height, has inculcated a culture, habit, tradition that can never be influenced away from him or her, no matter where he or she finds him or herself.
  23. I am always on the Lord’s side. I do not care your relationship with Me. Once you do not take side with God, I am against you and God is against you.
  24. Every true Seed of God takes side with God; Whether man or woman, you are on the Lord’s Side”. Son of Man- from the Message- FAMILY FORUM- preached on 5/10/2008. Page 46:61 & page 104:58-59.
  25. If we accept this simple Maxim that what God is telling us is absolute truth, then we must try and align ourselves with God, believe His Words and instructions. For us to believe in His instructions, we must first of all believe that He exists.
  26. Then, if we already accepted this fact that God existed, the value of the “ontological argument” was that it made clear what sort of a Being God is, as distinguished from all others. He is not an ordinary Being, but of an eminent nature which has been plausibly revealed. LISTEN TO HIM!
  27. “Neglect the voice of The Son of Man, you must land yourself in trouble; And at the end, you must come back to the same voice. The highest favor God will show us, He said, “Is to remind us of His voice we have not obeyed.” Son of Man-From the Message- CAMP RULES, preached 25/12/2011. Page 104:30.
  28. Those who let themselves be controlled by their lower natures live to please themselves, but those who follow after the Holy Spirit find themselves doing those things that please God.
  29. Following after the Holy Spirit leads to life and peace, but following after the old nature leads to death.” Romans 8:5-6. (LB)
  30. So do not think that the serpent has been destroyed. That is why I showed you the book of Revelation where God is going to destroy that ancient dragon called Serpent; the devil. (Rev.20:2)
  31. “Do not ever behave as if the devil died. The devil is still alive and still at work. Where does he work? He worketh among the children of disobedience.
  32. So if you want to remain disobedient, so that the devil will use you as a tool to wreak havoc, you will bear the consequences with your lineage.” Pastor Wisdom Odoemena- From the Message- REMEDY FROM DEVIL’S STRONG HOLD- preached 11/4/2020. Page 135:27-29.
  33. “A Wiseman acquires or believes Truth and follow Truth no matter where theTruth is leading him to.” SON OF MAN-GOLDEN NUGGET, compiled on 7/04/2004, page 33:1.
  34. Yes! Truth is the Spirit of Christ. “If the Spirit of Christ is in you, your action must reflect Christ, for Christ is identified by His Characteristics. But if the Spirit of Christ is not in you, your life and character will contradict the character of Christ,” By Evangelist Anayo Chukwubuikem, compiled on 23/03/2021 with the Title- MAKE HASTE TO EMBRACE GOD- page 91:7.
  35. Every Word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him” Proverbs 30:15. (LB)
  36. The Truth you are hearing is from somebody and always cultivate the habit of honouring, reverencing Him; you have never gone this way before.
  37. Vietnamese proverb will always remind us that when you are eating a fruit, always remember the one who planted the tree that grew those fruits.
  38. Try and trust the name of God and reverence it. “He knows those that trust in Him, not trust in the lips. If you do not trust Him, the Name can never do anything for you.
  39. As long as you do not put your confidence, your trust in the Name of the Lord Almighty that is revealed in your day; there is nothing that Name can do for you.Son of Man-THE REVELATION OF THE NAME OF GOD AND ITS POWER- (CONCLUSION) preached 11/11/2012, page 38:33.
  40. “As the rose breatheth sweetness from it’s own nature, so the heart of a benevolent man produceth good works.” Unto thee I Grant.

THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT THIS STATEMENT.

  • Are we deceived? Or, can we ascertain from our personal experiences that most religious views of the world are silly and trivial.
  • As for the cowardly, however, and the unbelieving, and the fearful, the murderers, the immoral, those practicing magic arts and idolaters, and all liars- their lot is in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This is the second death.” (Rev.21:8)
  • “But cowards who turn back from following Me, and those who are unfaithful to Me, and the corrupt, and the murderers, and the immoral, and those conversing with demons, and idol worshippers and all liars- their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This is the second death.” (Rev.21:8) LB.
  • “The wicked shall be turned into Hell and all the heathens that forget God.” Psalms 9:17.
  • “The wicked shall be sent away to hell; this is the fate of all nations forgetting the Lord.” Psalms 9:17 ( LB)
  • Now that we have met personally the absolute spiritual reality which is the true God, Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Very Son of Man-who is filled with an overflowing spring of wisdom and insight, we should then honour, obey and believe in Him.
  • Whoever that believes in Me, as the scripture says, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:38)
  • For the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water shall flow from the inmost being of anyone who believes in Me.” (LB)
  • And also, it is written in the scriptures that “And you shall be hated by all for my name sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” (Mark 13:13).
  • Who are those who will hate you? They are the religious leaders, disobedient lots, unbelievers of the present Truth. They can only destroy the body but they can’t touch the soul. FEAR THEM NOT.
  • “Don’t be afraid of those who can kill only your bodies- but can’t touch your souls! Fear only God who can destroy both Soul and body in hell.” (Matt.10:28) LB.
  • This mysterious being in our midst is an infallible teacher with “the Divine gift of impeccability.” it is time for us to examine our relationship with this true and living God.
  • This might be the last opportunity of our life time to become fully acquainted with this sovereign Lord God who has unchangeable features of reality, one of those mysteries that has to be accepted without being comprehended; We should try and understand fully His sincere purpose for this Earth and mankind living upon it, so that we can benefit from His inestimable mercies and grace.
  • “If we don’t want to meet this horrible fate, the decision is in our hands right now, for today may be the last day I have to live my life.” Compiled by Evang. Anayo Chukwubuikem, and titled–MAKE HASTE TO EMBRACE GOD, 23/03/2021. Page 62:43.
  • Can we humbly look into this small compilation and see how far it can help in reminding us of those messages we have been espoused to. We pray that God should lead us effectively as we listen to it. Follow me to—

This Faith is not for everybody, this Faith is for those that proceeded from the Foundation of Truth and the foundation of truth is Christ the creator of Heaven and Earth. He is the Foundation of Truth. If you do not proceed from the foundation of truth, you must feel uncomfortable with this truth.

IN A TIME OF DECEIT TELLING THE TRUTH IS A REVOLUTIONARY ACT

Purity is the foundation of Truth, and the practical proof of truth is virtuous actions. Many people consider themselves to be truthful, but the basis of truth is purity. Purity makes us naturally truthful.”

  • B.K Geeta. Dictionary.com defines purity as “The condition or quality of being pure; freedom from anything that debases, contaminates, pollutes etc the purity of drinking water. Freedom from any admixture or modifying addition
  • The quest for material truth is what the entire world is after but the spiritual aspect, no interest found.
  • “This hunger for Truth has sent Man searching for the principles governing both the outside material world as well as his inner spiritual world.
  • The quest for material Truths has resulted in the greatest advances in science that mankind has ever seen. In less than 150 years, science has linked up the world as never before.
  • What is perhaps less recognized, are the advances mankind has made in the quest for spiritual Truth. Through the ages, in the different parts of the world, great teachers have arisen, who have arrived to realize the unifying Truths beneath this diversity of creations.” www.spiritualbee.com.
  • Did they succeed in unifying or knitting up those broken or torn pieces of Truth found in those numerous religious movements at their time? In the course of unifying them, they created more confusion because you can’t merge what you don’t know the historical background, that is, its beginning and ending.
  • The only Man in this present generation who is capable of unifying or gathering together all those pieces of truth from many religious bodies is no other personality than the sage of this age, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man.
  • The trajectory of His career is well known, and that is, He clinged to the divine Truth abinitio which makes it impossible for anyone in this world, past or present to shake His conviction and devotion. That is why it is said that every elect must make the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, his LINK to the Truth because He is the only embodiment of Truth in this generation.
  • “That the Son of Man or our link to the Truth need not to be questioned and proved again to any believer of Gods Word at all in all dispensation.
  • Since this is true that God is dwelling among us (God with us-Emmanuel) according to His promise and we are sure, it is considered to be superfluous to begin all over again laying down the foundation of ” GOD IS A MAN.”
  • The choice is now yours, to decide whether to make the Son of Man, The Word made flesh in our day, your absolute or as the Holy Bible which you inherited as the “complete and infallible Word of God” from your fathers.
  • Every predestined elect of God who before the world began, was chosen for salvation, must make the revealed Christ (anointed), the Son of Man in the midst of the Church (the Bride), HIS LINK TO THE TRUTH and accept His Word as final in all things pertaining to life and salvation of Man.” From the Message- Son of Man. Our Link to the Truth, page 106:3rd Paragraph.
  • It is not easy to believe this His sacred Message of Truth unless He gives you, or me a helping hand (believing heart). We were stark unbelievers until we accepted this truth then we became believers.
  • Abraham was an unbeliever sometime before God met him and his conviction started. God even documented it. “You call Abraham a man of faith because he believed, but how many times did he disbelieve? He was an unbeliever before he became a believer. He believed when facts convinced him.” Son of Man- from the message- Islamic Connection To the son of Man (ISA) Introduction. Preached November, 2018. Page 24:13.
  • Once you come to the realization that this Divine, heavenly truth which we are espoused to, is locked up in Him, and you have a strong faith that it cannot be forensically proven untrue; from that period your journey in this faith as a believer has started.
  • There must be an experience that will trigger it, if not, you can remain here for donkey years without believing Him but only concurring His Words as truth.
  • Believing Him as God may start today in your life. It can be your own dawn or my own dawn, who knows, but let it be that someone made a positive move towards the Light. Till we pass that level of concurring and enter the region of total submission and faithfulness, we can never conclude firmly in our hearts that He, Apostle Peter Odoemena remains the only one in this era who came with the Divine Truth, highly undiluted and can speak it without qualms.
  • George Orwell understood actually that there is a man whom he is referring to when he made this statement “In a time of deceit telling the Truth is a revolutionary act.”
  • To believe in the Truth and act in the truth like the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena is doing now, there must be a synergy between you and Him to enable that link to persist.
  • As James Russell Lowell said “who speaks the Truth stabs falsehood to the heart.”
  • Without the Holy Spirit controlling you, you cannot be courageous enough to stand on the pedestral of Truth. Truth comes as conqueror and it will take a spiritual warrior to execute it.
  • Ancient proverb says that “a spiritual man does not leave his house naked.” He must be spiritually prepared for any eventuality.
  • Ghandi added, ” The truth makes you a soldier;
  • Tacitus said “Fear is not in the habit of speaking the truth.” and “unless one always speaks the truth, one cannot find God who is the Soul of Truth.” Ramakrishna.
  • All the primordial esoteric manuscripts which enclosed the hidden Truths were excavated by this Soul personality and revealed to us in this generation. Prior to His arrival on this material universe, nobody knew about those hidden truths.
  • The truth that looks like lies but has continued to stagger human imaginations and is still challenging the spiritual mindsets of intellectuals, modern philosophers, theologians, theosophists, clergy men, modern mystics, native doctors, etc till date.
  • All these revealed Truths are quite different from the half baked truth which are served today to the gullible minds.
  • There are Divine, heavenly Truths for different ages, but in this dispensation, God came down in person as a human being with the present truth, which He is revealing to the elects presently, and the world rejected same calling it lies.
  • There is also the worldly falsehood (coated lies) which Satan is in control as a human being and he is preaching same to the religious world which they are accepting wholeheartedly as truth.
  • Our experiences, coupled with our beliefs will direct us where we will tilt to; but realistically, there is a difference between the Divine Truth and the material (mundane) falsehood.
  • “Whether it be the Spirit of Christ or the Spirit of the devil. If you know the person you obey readily and obedience to him gives you abundant joy, that is where you belong to.
  • That is the person you have as your anchor. That person stands to be your absolute. He is your anchor” From the message- CAN YOUR ANCHOR SUSTAIN YOU DURING THE TIME OF STORM? Vol.2. preached by Apostle Chukwudi Odoemena, on 25/7/2021. Page 82:37-38.
  • “Since we have something different, it will not be out of place if we hear the God-sent Man speaking things that are not written in the Bible and yet they are the true and perfect Will and indisputable mind of God. Resisting it because it cannot be traced in the Bible is unbelief and nothing else.” Son of Man- from the message, MOMENT OF TRUTH. Preached 14/9/2008, page 42:72.
  • We must listen and accept His spoken Word because this is a spoken Word Ministry and quite different from others that came before.
  • To work effectively with God in this Ministry, we should have an Apostolic zeal to enable us work favourably with Him. If the zeal is not there, we would find it absolutely difficult to relate effectively with the Divine head.
  • “This understanding of genuine Apostolic zeal is of the greatest importance. A child of God must never forget that this apostolic zeal will bear fruits only to the extent that he is used by the only begotten Son Himself.
  • All initiative must come from Christ through His Spirit, and all the completion must come from Him too. The Son in His mercy cannot use an adopted child to any extent if success would merely make him conceited. If he took to himself the glory which is due to the Son, success would gradually prepare his downfall.
  • Our Lord cannot desire this in any way, or be instrumental in bringing it about. The Son can freely use the adopted children in his work of santification and salvation only to the extent that they too seek only the Father’s glory, and in no way their own. Then the Son can bless their work.
  • In an adopted child whose zeal is pure and ardent there is no limit to what the Son can and will do through him, and to the glory he will give to his Father by bearing such fruits.” Bonaventure Perquin.
  • When we act as He recommends and He is happy at the end, a lot of blessings will definitely follow suit. We should stamp this fact in our consciousness that our present existence on this earth is His design, and accomplishment.
  • “Forget not, O Man! that thy present station on Earth is appointed by the wisdom of the Eternal; who knoweth thine heart, who seeth the vanity of all thy wishes, and who often, in mercy denieth thy requests.” Unto Thee I Grant.
  • The Master who knows all about us; our weaknesses, our ignorance, our stupidity, our folly is among us bodily now. He has come with the Truth, a package He is revealing to us which is helping us to come to terms with the reality of the hour.
  • He didn’t come for all but for the few who were destined to believe the truth whenever it will be revealed.
  • “But the advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your mind whatever I have said to you.” John 14:26.
  • “But when the Father sends the comforter instead of me- and by the Comforter I mean the Holy Spirit- he will teach you much, as well as remind you of everything I myself have told you.” (LB)
  • The Man that will judge and weigh our faith in the balance with this rejected truth(by the world), which is absolute and a stumbling block, is on the scene now. He is Black Man, a Nigerian, of Igbo race and God in human form, documented by Prophet Marion Branham in his sermons “as a Man from one of the jungles of Africa”. Is there any truth there? The answer lies with us
  • For the Lord is coming to judge the earth; he will judge the nations fairly and with Truth.” Psalms 96:13. LB.
  • He is a perfect and righteous judge. Highly incorruptible and He bases His judgment on Fairness, Truth and Justice. The Scriptures made it very clear about His two strong pillars.
  • “Your throne is founded on two strong pillars- the One is Justice and the other Righteousness. Mercy and Truth walk before you as your attendants. Blessed are those who hear the joyful blast of the trumpet, for they shall walk in the light of your presence.” Psalms 89:14-15. LB.
  • Then the question arises, WHAT IS TRUTH? Can we boldly say we know the Truth before the arrival of Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena?
  • “Without this Faith you can not know what you know now. You have carried a lot of fables all these years, both educated men and women, but God has come to remove those fables before His people to show them the reality.” Random Comments By The Son of Man, page 44:2.
  • All we know now is the revealed Truth which was hidden until the appointed hour. It is in a Man and He is the revealer and not by any other artificial method.
  • “Truth can never be ascertained through the scientific method, logic or reasoning. All these are instruments that fail short of being able to fathom THE TRUTH.
  • You will never know the truth until the ‘THE TRUTH’ becomes your life and your life becomes His. Truth requires absolute and total surrender to the Son of God. It is a marriage of Souls. It is a bond that sets one free. It is a paradox.
  • And when you enter this paradox, you will be free indeed and you will then also know true love.” By Gary Amirault.  
  • Ancient wisdom made it clear that Truth is “like diamonds hidden in darkness, truth are discovered within the depths of contemplation.”
  • Again, the scripture added this that Truth rises from the earth and righteousness smiles down from heaven. Psalms 85:11. L B.
  • Hear the voice of Son of Man on this matter. “Truth is truth no matter the way you look at it, remain in the truth. Because God Himself is Truth. Taking side with truth means taking side with God for Christ is the way, the truth and life. But when you see truth you call it evil, well, you have blamed God and God has left you.” Son of Man.
  • “The reason why your heart cannot retain the Truth is because you do not have believing heart to retain the Truth and to believe the Truth.” Son of Man.
  • And when we obey Him, every path He guides us on is fragrant with His loving kindness and His Truth.” Psalms 25:10. LB
  • Every word we utter should reflect our values, and one of the highest of those values is truth.”
  • Why is this topic coming up at this period of human civilization? It is because the world is coming to an end, and only One Man has the key with which to unlock the hidden mysterious truths backed by realistic abundant evidences which are, testimonial and demonstrative in nature, and more so, with numerous witnesses to testify about this truth that has been preached, manifested and revealed.
  • Hear the avatar proclaiming the Truth with all sincerity. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father. Only the Father knows the Son, and the Father is known only by the Son and by those to whom the Son reveals Him-. Mathew 11:27.LB
  • He is still affirming confidently His authority, and commission which He stands for. Let God help the unbeliever with a believing heart. Hear Him
  • God has sent Me to help His Church and to tell His secret plan to you Gentiles. He has kept this secrets for centuries and generations past, but now at last it has pleased Him to tell it to those who love Him and live for Him, and the riches and glory of His plan are for you Gentiles too. And this is the secret: that Christ in your hearts is your only hope of glory. Colossians 1:25-27. LB.
  • We are in an age where the inhabitants are unconsciously caged with deceptive lies, and are living in an imaginary world. The scripture even made it known that this Man with the key will be revealed when the world will be in a Sodomite age.
  • “As it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah so shall it be in the days of Son of Man.” That is where we are now. The entire world has now collapsed into a deep well of iniquities and nothing good again can be seen except the minute remnants of godliness within the Bride, the rest is rotten and smelling.
  • These are what Almighty God saw and decided to come down in person to save mankind from the impending doom cascading down like a torrential waterfall. He came and hid Himself in a Man, very humble and unassuming. This vehicular Man became His driver, carrier, (masqurading Him) and without Him coming in this Gentile age, it will be impossible for anybody to be saved.
  • We are now in a theater of wars- commercial wars, family wars, financial wars, crime wars, political wars, religious wars, etc raving and raging in all sectors defencelessly. That’s why He came in person to extricate His own from the mess covering the entire world space; He sent Christ whom He hid Himself in.
  • In Ephesians 1:9 He revealed that God has told us His secret reason for sending Christ, a plan He decided on in mercy long ago; and this was His purpose: that when the time is ripe He will gather us all together from wherever we are–in heaven or on earth– to be with Him in Christ, forever.” LB.
  • He came with a life saving message but the people of this generation rejected Him and His message as they did in His last dispensation, because of religious entanglements coupled with doubts. Even among us, Almighty God has been hammering about “Mixed Multitude,”  Unbelievers,” and “Spies,” revealing that many still do not believe in Him and His teachings.
  • He knows the truth about His Mission and Commission; He has the evidences revealing who He is and the manifestation of Godhead.
  • We are the living witnesses in the Bride, who can stand and give our testimonial as an evidence proving that He is God in Human form. We cannot forget what our eyes have seen, our hands have touched or our senses have perceived about Him. This avatar is on a mission and at the end of the day, the entire world will proclaim that really “the Elohim dwelleth in the Son of Man”.
  • God is the God of truth, and the Torah is said to be His thoughts and the revelation of His purpose in the creation of the universe. At the same time, however, with Torah, Jews are in constant pursuit of the Truth. This may seem contradictory, on one hand we claim to have the truth, how could we simultaneously be seeking Truth? That is the problem with the Jews. Truth is not in a book but in a Man. The Present avatar.
  • The answer is, the Torah is so vast and profound, that one needs to be totally immersed in it to understand the Truths therein. One could theoretically be devoutly observant and even quite knowledgeable, but still completely miss the point of what the Truth of the matter is and where it could be found or who will reveal it.
  • So also is the Bible. Nobody could tie the scriptures until His arrival on the scene. When He opened the scriptures (Bible) it became a mystery; a different book altogether. Searching the scriptures and understanding the content are two different issues.
  • When Philip met the Ethiopian Eunoch looking through the scriptures, he asked him,” Do you understand what you are reading? He said he did not (“How can I understand unless I have a teacher to teach me?”), and asked Philip to explain the text to him”. Philip told him the Gospel of Jesus, and the Ethiopian asked to be baptized. He never understood what he was reading until an inspired helper came to him. The story is documented in Acts 8:26-39.
  • Mahatma Ghandhi said that ” If I were asked to define the Hindu Creed, I should simply say: search after Truth through non violent means. A man may not believe in God and still call himself a Hindu. Hinduism is a relentless pursuit after Truth…
  • Truth is God. Denial of God we have known. Denial of Truth we have not known is.”
  • “The core philosophy of Hinduism is the search for Truth, not the specific path taken. A quote from the Vedas that summarizes the Hindu perspective is, “Truth is one; the wise call it by various names.” www.hinduamericana.org> blog>1

WHEN HE SPEAKS, HE IS TALKING TO THE ELECT.

  • “I am addressing earnest seekers only. They must be able and willing to examine this matter objectively! Religious fanatics and irresponsible enthusiasts may hold aloof, for they are detrimental to the Truth. As for the malevolent and prejudiced, they shall find their sentence in the very words.
  • The Message will strike only those who still carry within them a spark of Truth, and the yearning to be true human beings. To all such it will become the shining light and staff. It will lead them unswervingly out of all the chaos of the present-day confusion.” Abd-ru-shin. In The Light Of Truth, page 7.
  • We are living among evil people with friendly faces, so it will only take God to save us. If not we will continue to face dangerous circumstances as we march along, from those we think are our friends or loved ones.
  • Before you trust somebody or a system, you must have the facts, know the truth, and also the evidences about that person. There must be truth backed with experience, which is the basis. Any fact is better established by two or three good testimonies than by a thousand arguments. With truth, faith is established. This is the fact of life.
  • “Faith is not the power of positive thinking; it is believing in God and trusting that His Will is always best even when you cannot understand why.” Shari Howerton- Breaking The Chain.

NEEDLESS ARGUING, ONLY BELIEVE.

  • Remind your people of these great facts, and command them in the name of the Lord not to argue over unimportant things. Such arguments are confusing and useless, even harmful.”  2 Timothy 2:14. LB
  • Let us go to Titus 1:1-2, and see the fact or reason why Paul, a messenger of Jesus Christ was sent to come and teach those people God has chosen, God’s Truth. It has been like that since ages past, people coming and going after preaching God’s truth.
  • “From Paul, the slave of God and the messenger of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to bring faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know God’s truth- the kind of Truth that changes lives- so that they can have eternal life, which God promised them before the world began- and He cannot lie.”
  • The Eternal Truth is now here physically, and He is speaking the Word of God which is Truth.
  • “Then he told me, “The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will and to see the Messiah and hear Him speak. You are to take his message everywhere, telling what you have seen and heard.” Act 22:14-15.LB
  • “And he said, “The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His Will and to see the Righteous One and to bear an utterance from His mouth.” ESV
  • We have a Man in our midst who is Christ and this is His second Advent. He has proven to us in many facets that He is actually God in Human form. We have seen Him and heard Him speak.
  • Facts are stubborn things, but without facts it may be very difficult to establish the truth; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictate of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidences. So the truth of the matter is that He is what He says He Is.
  •  We are reminded in 2 Timothy 2:14 that we should not argue about unimportant things. Any body without an experience must argue foolishly like an intellectual mind, but one who has gotten an experience is more exposed and humbled. He reasons like a man filled with the spirit of God.
  • “Abd-ru-shin, wrote “Thus turn away from all scientific knowledge, where it is a question of what is most sacred in man, which must be fully grasped! Leave it alone; for science, being a product of the human brain, is piecework and must remain piecework. Consider, how should scientific knowledge, acquired by laborious study, lead to the Godhead?
  • What, after all, is knowledge? Knowledge is what the brain can conceive. Yet how very limited is the perceptive capacity of the brain, which remains firmly bound to space and time.
  • Even eternity and the meaning of Infinity cannot be grasped by a human brain. Just that which is inseparably linked with the Godhead.” From the book- In The Light of Truth, page 10.
  • “The understanding of the person of the Almighty God and His revelation to mankind has been though a mystery subjected to so many explanations and Teachings as there are many religions and also varying conceptions and imaginations within the context of particular Faiths and belief system.
  • Usually Christianity along with some other Faiths like Judaism and Islam has been associated with the teachings and belief in only one true God. However the true understanding of who God is, cannot be found in a system of religion as such but in the revealed Word of God.
  • There the testimony of the Bible which is the Word of God is the only true and authentic revelation of the Personality of God. The scripture testified “Since what may be known about God is plain to them because God has made it plain to them, for since the creations of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and Divine nature (Godhead) have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been, so that men are without excuse.
  • For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened and although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.(Romans 1:19-23. NIV) Son of Man-CRY OUT AGAINST THE SYSTEM, Vol.2, page 130:3-4.
  • People now refuse to Worship God and honour Him. They do not believe the fact that God exists. “God is no longer a habitual concern for human beings. Less and less do they call him to mind as they go through their days or make their decisions…
  • God has been replaced by other values: income and productivity. He may once have been regarded as the source of meaning for all human activities, but today he has been relegated to the secret dungeons of history.. God has disappeared from the consciousness of human beings” from the sources of modern Atheism.
  • We have many idols that replaced God in the human heart. “Your wife can be your idol. Your husband can be your idol which you worship. No respect. No fear. Real veneration. Your husband is your idol. It can be your children. It can be your work. Some worship their work. And they have their adage, ” I do not joke with my work at all,” But they can joke with the work of God.” Son of Man- from the Message- FLEE FROM IDOLS, part 2, vol.1, page 76:26, preached on 4/3/2018.
  • BUT, DOES GOD EXIST? Yes He does!
  • It is a fact that “when you have faith in God, you don’t have to worry about the future. You just know it’s all in His hands. You just go to and do your best.” Elder Bryan Mathison
  • “Then you have taken a decision; put your trust in Allah. Certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him)” Al-Quran 3:159.
  • “Seek the Lord while you can find Him. Call upon him now while he is near. Let men cast off their wicked deeds; let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong! Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy upon them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” Isaiah 55:6-7 LB.
  • The refusal to use the Divine name diminishes the worship of the true God. There is super power in that Divine name and it creates a superlative aura when called upon around the adherent.
  • “Judaism teaches that while God’s name exists on written form, it is too holy to be pronounced. The result has been that, over the last 2,000 years, the correct pronunciation has been lost. Yet, that has not always been the Jewish position.”
  • But today, the name by which God is revealed in this generation, to His people, is hidden from non- members. And people are still hanging on the old name He answered during the past ages, not knowing that those names are no more potent.
  • Though, during those different ages, there were changes in the names of God, changes in the calling or pronunciation of those God’s names. The sound changes according to race, languages, and organizational practices.
  • Marmorstein agreed to the fact regarding the changes that came later that ” For in this time, in the first half of the third century (B.C.E.), a great change in the use of the name of God is to be noticed, which brought about many changes in Jewish theological and philosophical lore, the influences of which are felt up to this day.”
  • In every dispensation, each name represents God’s work in that age. In the last dispensation, He was called Jesus. That name Jesus is now obsolete and it is the most common word we can hear now on daily basis, and you can hear the old testament names like “Jehovah Rapha”, the Divine Healer, “El Shaddai”, the Almighty God in the white garment Churches mostly.
  • Religious gatherings are now making merchandize of that name and ignorant people who are not aware of this dramatic piece will always become victims of the extortion parade. Even native doctors, magicians, and their likes are capitalizing on the situation to dupe innocent people.
  • Most prophesies had gone out about the coming Christ with a new name but people who are blinded by religious antics are still waiting for Jesus to come back with the same old name and nature.
  • If you believe in reincarnation; can a reincarnated person come back with the old name and old nature? No! Once he or she reincarnates back, a new name will be given to the child. During the first Advent, Jesus came into the world through a biological process, then are we saying that this time around, he will fly down from the sky to assume his physical position again on this material universe. As a reasoning being, do you see this situation as something that can be realistic?
  •  God is nature and all His actions are natural. All avatars that had walked this Earth came from reproductive processes. So, the spirit of Christ had been re-incarnating reproductively from generation to generation with a new name and a new body, and though with the same voice.
  • I can prove that because I personally have heard that voice and can attest to that statement as real. This is a factual statement that cannot be disproved. All who disprove this statement are strictly unbelievers. They may try to equate the so-called mysteries that are based on falsehood with Truth.
  • Spenser Lewis made it known in his writing that ” In other words, they seem to think that in the pagan, heathen, primitive and mythological teachings of the people of India, Egypt, Persia, and elsewhere, there were so called strange and mysterious claims and pretentious demonstrations, often dramatized and presented with impressive and hypnotizing surroundings and called ” mysteries” in order to dumbfound and perplex the followers of these rites and blindly lead them on or tempt them into a form of worship which forever kept them in the dark regarding the Truth of these so-called mysteries.”
  • God is as wonderful today as he has ever been, but we need to become more submissive to His instructions and believe the Truth, the Word coming out from His mouth.
  • “The world will always hate you for believing the Truth, “let them judge you. They will live with their judgement, and you will live with your Truth.” Author unknown.
  • With all it’s lethargy and inertia, unrepentant hearts, unbelievers and mockers would always end their struggles in quagmire which will always muff up their ungodly plans.

Truth has no substitute. Even if you withhold it, your conscience will tell you to forget about your resistance to the truth. As it is upstairs, so it is downstairs. If not for pregnancy, every woman is a virgin. What am I trying to say? Learn to possess your vessels in honour. Do not overdo things. Do not over expose yourself to a point where your character will be influential to the children, even to do wrong. When they begin to do wrong, they will do it more than you. They will do the one they learnt from you, add the one they will have in their mind and the one they will copy from outside.

LEARN TO POSSESS YOUR VESSELS IN HONOUR, VOLUME 1, Preached on 4/6/2018 Page 86, verses 33-34.

SPEAK THE TRUTH. TRANSPARENCY BREEDS LEGITIMACY

(Truth is Life and Life is Truth)

People always love and respect characters who speak the Truth, even if the Truth hurts.” David Duchovny.

  • Is this statement contestable? In the ancient days, certain Truth of today will be classified as heresy because it is truer than the Truth. Rabindranath Tagore wrote, “Truth comes as conqueror only because we have lost the art of receiving it as a guest.”
  • Unbelieving or intellectual minds will find it very difficult to receive or accept the Truth when it is spoken to them. They will refuse to believe and they don’t want others to believe. It takes two to speak the Truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
  • Can we be able to say the truth to someone whom we don’t want to offend?, especially one whom we rely upon for help either financially or otherwise. This is where the challenge lies.
  • The harsh economic situation in this world today has made truth elusive. Most of our economic sectors-civil service, private sectors, even the religious groups etc are in shambles; corrupted with bribery and insincerity, or is it our traditional settings where the elders are required to say the truth in every matter? it is no more tenable.
  • The law is made for the poor and not for the rich. In the world today, the poor faces judgment but the rich get justice. William Shakespeare lamented “What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.”
  •  All these kind of injustice are not practiced in the Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide. The God we worship is God of substantial justice and Truth; Everybody is equal before Him, and He is the only Man standing firmly today on this issue about the TRUTH. Almighty God stands for the Truth and it is expected also that the children of God should stand for the Truth.
  • No matter the situation or circumstances, The God in our midst finds Himself, He won’t shake, and He must say the truth no matter how bitter. His revered name is Apostle Peter Odoemena, the very Son of Man. The only vindicated man of God in this age, who lives the life of Truth, talks Truth and acts Truth. He is not preaching past Messages but the current Truth which is golden.
  • “Can you see why from all the various denominations, from all the various Messengers everywhere, God has never vindicated anyone for they are preaching past messages, living in the glare of other dispensations?
  • There is only but ONE that holds the Word of Truth in this age. Are you getting the message? There is only but ONE THAT HOLDS THE WORD of the age– one holding the vindicated message.
  • Remember in the days of Ahab and Jehoshephat, of all the 400 Prophets of Isreal that said the same thing, God never vindicated even one, but there was one voice- a Man- who held in his hands the Word for that day and that was Prophet Micah.
  • Did God vindicate it? The answer is yes! So, it happened in the days of Prophet Elijah and the Prophet of Baal. They placed the alter the way they knew it, the way they used to do it calling upon the name of Jehovah. Did God vindicate it? But only one man appeared in the midst of all, hated by all but loved of God. He cried unto the Lord only but once and the Lord vindicated that Word for it is the Word for the day.” Son of Man- from the message, MOMENT OF TRUTH, preached on 14/9/2008. Page 23:7-12.
  • He remains the Holy Spirit and the self-existing one. Bonaventure Perquin supported this assertion in his book. He said “Only a person in whom the Holy Spirit, the Flame of Light and love, is Master, can resist the world, or even see it as it is. We become acclimatized so easily, and do not see all that is hidden in the darkness. “Deliver us from evil”:
  • We have no idea how much we have to be protected from the world especially when it appears in its less obvious aspects, often seeming attractive, cultured, and happy. Only the Holy Spirit can give us the light to see the compromises hidden away.
  • The flood of evil in the world means that even grievious sins are not being denounced, yet, the love of God is the hatred of sin, and whilst we love the sinner we must never be afraid to denounce his sin, this is not to be lacking in charity.”
  • Jesus faced such challenges. When He came down from the wilderness, after fasting for forty days and forty nights, He was confronted by Satan who was aware of His present situation and was placed under a tough practical tests; but because He was full of Holy Spirit and under that tired situation, He was able to rebuke Satan with His authority and the Truth.
  • “Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan River, being urged by the Spirit out into the barren wastelands of Judea, where Satan tempted him for forty days. He ate nothing all that time, and was very hungry. Satan said, “If you are God’s Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” But Jesus replied,” it is written in the Scriptures, ‘other things in life are much more important than bread.”
  • Then Satan took Him up and revealed to Him all the Kingdoms of the world in a moment of time; and the devil told Him, “I will give you all these splendid kingdoms and their glory– for they are mine to give to anyone I wish–if you will only get down on your knees and worship me.”
  • Jesus replied, “We must worship God, and Him alone. So it is written in the Scriptures.”
  • Then Satan took him to Jerusalem to a high roof of the Temple and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say that God will send His angels to guard you and to keep you from crashing to the pavement below.”
  • Jesus replied, “The Scriptures also say, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to a foolish test.” When the devil had ended all the temptations, he left Jesus for a while and went away.Luke 4:1-13. LB.
  • You see, Jesus stood on the Truth without shaking because He was filled with the Holy Spirit and the truth became His armour through which He was able to disarmed the devil. He reflected the Spirit of Truth and that was why people found it extremely difficult to believe Him.
  • Speak lies, you will be accepted wholly by the world, but speak the Truth the world will jeer at you. It is happening today in our midst.
  • The Man with the Great Truth who is greater than Jesus is here physically but people bypass Him because of His simplicity.
  • “All great truths are very simple. It is the simplicity of the Son of Man that makes people to bypass Him. People felt that they are holding the truth, but they are holding falsehood. We are far higher than Jesus of old. If Jesus should come today, he will believe our message.
  • Do you know that Jesus of old told them part-truth? That was why Jesus said that, “When the Spirit of Truth shall come, He shall lead them to all truths.” GOLDEN NUGGET, vol 2. Page 74:17.
  • In the same message, page 186:39, He continued, “I have decided to espouse you to the whole truth as it is revealed to Me, separating “theological Salvation” from God’s salvation, to make sure you are saved to the utmost, to make sure there is no figment of theological salvation in you.
  • Theological Salvation is Church salvation. Moreover, every Church or denomination has its own planned rules and regulations which its members will have to observe in order to be saved.” Were you aware of this spiritual situation? We were all wallowing in spiritual darkness before He came with this life saving Message of Truth that opened our eyes to the reality of things.
  • Following the path of this truth is not an easy road, for there are spiritual challenges on the way which the inquirer must face. The broad way is very easy to follow but this thiny path must challenge your faith. So, we must face challenges and our Faith must be tasted, to know if we will deny the Truth we have heard or what our eyes have seen.
  • The test will come using your thought and the imaginations of your heart. That is why in the message- THE TIDE IS GATHERING, preached 11/03/2012, page 48:27, by the Son of Man, He told us that “this Faith is not for everybody, this Faith is for those that proceeded from the fountain of Truth, and the fountain of Truth is Christ the creator of Heaven and Earth. He is the fountain of Truth.
  • If you do not proceed from the fountain of Truth, you must feel uncomfortable with the Truth.” He further said that “Nothing threatens a human being more than disobedience to the Truth, for God is far from the wicked and near to the righteous.” Quote from the Sunday message by the Son of Man- preached 19/11/2017.
  • “If God does not give you a believing heart, what I am saying will be sounding strange to you. And the more I speak, the more you Stumble. I am here standing as the Rock of offence where people stumble at. And what is that thing they stumble at? THE WORD They stumble at the Word.
  • That is why I have espoused the Elect of God to the Word of God: To the Word of their testimony which is able to save their souls and give them a place among those that are sanctified by the Faith that is in Me. Sanctification is a definite experience.” Son of Man- from the Message- BE PATIENCE WITH GOD, preached on 14/12/2014, page 68:31 at the Household if God Port Harcourt.
  • Can you see why we are reminded by John? C.Maxwell to “Speak the Truth. Transparency breads legitimacy.” You may be hated today because it had been so since the world began, but tomorrow will be bright, brighter than the dazzling sun once we have the fear of God in our heart.
  • “Lack of fear of God leads to living loose life, for nothing organizes a man’s life more than the knowledge of Truth. When you know the Truth, acknowledge the Truth, volunteer to live by the Truth, your life must be organized. Am I making sense?
  •  But when you know the Truth and you do not believe it; or you say you believe with your lips but fail to apply it in your life, there is no way your life can be organized till eternity. The more you journey along in that confusion, the worst your life becomes.” Son of Man- from the Message-CHECK YOUR BACKGROUND- preached 24/4/2021. Page 112:46-48.
  • Live the life of Truth because it is godly and that should be the beginning of all things. “And it is with this that man must begin! This is his first task which will make him what he must become. An example to all who strive for Light and Truth, who wish to serve the creator gratefully through the nature of their whole being. He who fulfills this, needs no further directions. He is as he should be, and will thus receive the full measure of help that awaits him in creation and leads upwards without interruption.” Abd-ru-shin.
  • We should try with sincere effort to follow God’s instructions, and live within the context of His Messages.
  • “So whenever guidance comes to you from Me, then whoever follows my guidance then there will neither be any fear on them nor will they grieve.” (Surah Baqarah Ayat 38.)
  • Son of Man made us to realize in the Message titled- HOLDING UNTO THE CERTAINTY OF THE FAITH; FOR THEREUNTO I AM BORN- Vol.1, preached 9/4/2017, page 22:26, that “Life is not all about marriage, all about money or wealth, and all about Education. No!” So all the things we are struggling and acquiring on this Earth will be left here when death knocks on the door. It will be then that we will receive our reward.
  • Surah Imran Ayat 185 reminded us of the emptiness of this life and the vanity of all the luxuries of life. “Everyone shall taste death. And only on the day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever that is removed away from the fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful.
  • The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing),” So, we now know better, then we should focus on the unfailingly promise He has given to us. “He has given us both His promise and His oath, two things we can completely count on, for it is impossible for God to tell lies.
  • Now all those who flee to Him to save them can take a new courage when they hear such assurances from God; now they can know without doubt that He will give them the Salvation He has Promised them. Hebrew 6:18 (LB)
  • A beautiful hope and assurance which cannot fail. The love of God is radiating vibrantly on us.
