AN INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE DURING BROTHER CHIMOBI’S WEDDING Preachedon SATURDAY, 2ND SEPTEMBER 2017 At THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD, NSUKKA By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE” © BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLD-WIDE
PRAYER
Let us bow down our heads and then thank Him.
2. Our heavenly Father, we thank you for your love. It is just your
Love that is propelling our actions. Your love alone has lifted us up even when there was nothing that could lift us up, your love lifted us up.
3. Your love has gathered us here. May your love see us through. We are depending on your love and mercy. There is no other thing we are asking other than [that] your love and mercy should project towards every of your Elect globally, oh God.
4. We are not asking for your judgment for we cannot stand that. We are asking for your love and mercy Father to shine upon our brother and our sister that we are witnessing, oh God, their wedding here today. May your love and mercy sustain them.
5. May your love and mercy be their guiding principle. In everything in this life, may your love and mercy be prevalent in their heart, in their home forever and ever.
6. Lord we thank you. Let your love and mercy project towards all that are coming here today. Many might be on the highways this hour. We are asking for your love and mercy upon them.
7. Concerning those who are out, who have vowed even to destabilized this family, to destabilize this wedding, to cause sorrow and pains, Lord I bring them before you. Reward them, oh God, according to their desires that the residue of men will learn to fear, honour and reverence you forever.
8. Give no breathing space to any spirit, to any being that will
oppose this wedding in any form of shape. Let thy Holy Spirit holds sway over all flesh that will attend this wedding today. Use it, oh God, to revive our families.
9. Use it oh God to teach those that are coming here for the first time on the reason why you instituted marriage. Even those that are yet to marry, may they never joke with what you will say here today. Our ears are open, our hearts are open for we have come to the realization that there is no other instrument we can use to build, oh God, a formidable home in Christ if not your Word.
10. So, as your Word will come forth, grant your Word entrance into our hearts and from there Lord, reform and refine us. Make us better individuals in your sight that we may run godly homes, raise godly children to the glory of your name.
11. Even while we will be going back to our homes from where we came, you that brought us here, be there for us. We give you all the praise, all the glory for the victory belongs to you. Let your Spirit remain in this Camp.
12. We honour you; we bow down before you because we believe you have heard our prayers through Christ our Lord we pray. Amen.
INTRODUCTION
Let our daughter come in. Let nothing stand on the way. Sing with My own tune. Forget about Nsukka. I do not know the way you sing it in your own Local Assembly. Sing with My own tune. Wait until I land.
2. You are all happily welcome here. It is wonderful. It is glorious. Brother Onyema! Today should be your happiest day. Our daughter Afoma, today should be also your happiest day.
3. To every family here, even if you do not want to, please try to adjust your minds very well. Be happy. Rejoice with them. Rejoice with those that are rejoicing and whatever that causes them to rejoice must surely come your way.
4. But if you are not rejoicing with them, you are angry, reasons best known to you, I wonder whether you want them to be sorrowing. Remember, whatever you are wishing others is coming back to you whether you like it or not.
5. I am very happy that I am alive physically and spiritually not only to witness but to be a partaker of today’s ceremony. I am very happy. It is a priceless ceremony.
6. Too many forces came out fully to oppose this marriage, even using human agents, using everything, but God stood firmly and said,“No! E no go work.” God frustrated all!
7. The Almighty God frustrated all Satan’s attempt to mar this ceremony. And today, eyes have not only seen but ears have heard. Let it be noised abroad that whatever that seemeth impossible was made possible because God is with us. If God is with us, who can be against us?
8. I really thank God. I am standing here because I know that whenever He comes to any scene that marks the end of the trouble. I don’t care the nature it assumes. But the moment God appears on the scene, that marks the end. Sister Egbuna and co-, you are improving every day. Amen.
1
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
You see, at the last wedding ceremony I attended in Lagos, there was a sound of a thunder blast. What happened? Almost everybody ran away. But I stood My ground and watched.
2. I said, “Science is improving every day.” Well, this amber light. If I should interpret it, this is THE LIGHT OF HIS GLORY. It is not a destructive light.
3. If I notice you are not happy, you are not praising God, you are not giving Him glory, you would not be here. Give glory to the Lord that is your whole duty.
4. If you are not ready to praise God, He is able to command even the lilies to praise Him. When God is passing, the grasses, the lilies in the forest, they are all waving their hands because God is good. Worthy to be praised, worthy to be worshipped.
5. Even if there is no other salutation, seeing My face here today, it is the greatest miracle. I cannot remember the last day I fellowshipped with Nsukka and Opi. I cannot know the exact year.
6. They may have it in their record but as for Me, it’s been long. Not because I never desired to fellowship with them. No! It is because I saw something very dangerous in their midst. I made attempts to put the house in order, even the two houses.
7. At a point, I dragged all of them to Enugu, a neutral ground, to enable Me see whether one person could be saved. I watched them, after a while, I noticed that they were too much inclined to domestic politics, village politics, national politics and religious politics. Hence, what they were producing by My own assessment were nothing but thorns and thistles.
8. Hence, they became injurious to their fellow brethren. I withdrew My spirit, not permanently but for a while. And from that day till now, they have been suffering it all round. All round! Both Nsukka and Opi.
9. There is no family that never felt the brunt of My withdrawal. No matter how they laboured and laboured both spiritually and physically, they remain standing still.
10. AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN ME, I TOLD YOU, I AM THE SELF EXISTING ONE. I DO NOT NEED YOU. I DO NOT NEED ANY HUMAN BEING, BUT THERE IS NO HUMAN BEING THAT CAN SEE LIFE WITHOUT ME.
11. WITHOUT ME, NO BEING IN THIS GENERATION, EVEN IN GENERATION GONE BY WILL SEE LIGHT. ALL THAT DIED WERE BURIED. BUT THEY WERE THERE WAITING FOR MY DAY. FOR I HOLD THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE IN MY HANDS. WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
12. I know where I went yesterday. I know the personalities that received Me yesterday, kept Me talking for over four hours. And at the end, everywhere was calm. They are notable personalities. In academics, they have their fair share. In societal status, you can never come near any of them.
13. They are the pillars of this nation. They were stood because they needed help. And they have made serious sacrifices to things that are no god and self-acclaimed men of God that are everywhere, but the difference was made very clear yesterday. That is not My testimony.
14. My testimony is: The whole members of the Bride in Nigeria put together, you are not up to one-tenth of the response globally to the Bridal website. I say you are not up to one over one hundred of the people I have worldwide.
15. Tell Me if there be any village in the world where I am not there. I say village in the whole world, that village does not exist. Thus, I do not need you. I better say it loud and clear.
16. I wanted to stay back from this wedding. I almost committed it into the hands of Apostle Ojiakor and the rest. But something struck Me. I will offer Me the opportunity to tell Nsukka and Opi My mind before their visitors will come.
17. For that reason, I enjoined you to be here, if it is possible, 9 o’clock so that I will address you first then go into the wedding proper.
18. Can you imagine the Son of Man leading the Bride and the Bridegroom? It is because I want to hasten up.
19. And I know they need the Message for which cause they decided to invite Me. The message is not for heathen, it message is for those that fear and honour the Lord. Of what business will the heathen serve Me? Absolutely nothing! Yes, absolutely nothing!
20. I am here because the couples invited My presence to officiate. From their wedding card, they said they made Me the host. I denounced it because a man that is preparing seriously to bury his late mother should not be assigned to dig the grave.
21. Somebody is busy preparing the burial of his late mother and you assign him to be one of those that will be digging the grave. Is it possible? No, no, no, no. it is a wrong assignment. But nobody died.
22. If I should be the host, who will host Me? How can I be the host over an event that is taking place in a Local Assembly that claims to be in the Faith of the Son of Man? What will they be? They will now be My guest.
23. I will come all the way from Onitsha to be a host and then, the owners of the household will be My guest. They will be strangers, then I will be the landlord if it is possible. Stop turning thing upside down, it is not good.
24. STRAIGHTEN YOUR LIFE, STRAIGHTEN YOUR MIND AND YOUR ATTITUDE WILL BE STRAIGHTENED IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. THE MOMENT YOU ARE IN ERROR, EVERY STEP YOU TAKE WILL BE TAKEN IN ERROR. BUT WHEN YOU CORRECT IT, YOUR PATHWAYS WILL BE STRAIGHTENED OUT.
25. I thank all of you who challenged yourself by defiling all your noble, noble activities even some appointments you booked to be here today. Whatever might be your reasons for coming is what you will hear, is what you will see, it is what you will get. Amen.
26. If you are coming to hear that the wedding is cancelled, put it inside your pocket. You have missed calculated. If I wanted to cancel, I would not be here since yesterday monitoring, sending people here yesterday night to come and see things. Sending people to Nsukka to go and see things and then give Me a feedback.
27. I was here as early as 1: 00pm yesterday. Well, let Me thank those who freely, in love volunteered their services. Let Me also thank those who rendered their own grudgingly, grumbling.
28. LET ME ALSO THANK THOSE WHO SAY OVER THEIR DEAD BODIES THAT THEY MIGHT BE HERE. YOU WILL NOT DIE; YOU WILL LIVE AND SEE US FINISH WITH THE WEDDING. COME BACK TO THE DEDICATION OF THE NEW BABY.
29. I will not die but live and declare the goodness of God, amen. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord. With My heart and my mouth, shall I declare, God’s faithfulness to all generation.
30. LET ME WARN FROM HENCEFORTH, CARRY MY WARNING TO YOUR FELLOW BRETHREN. PLEASE, LOVE YOURSELF. THERE IS NO OTHER COMMANDMENT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST LEFT BEFORE HE VANISHED. YOU SHOW LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER. BY SO DOING, PEOPLE THAT COME INTO CONTACT WITH YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES INDEED. THERE IS NO LAW AGAINST LOVE.
31. WHEREVER LOVE EXISTS, SELFLESS SERVICES ARE RENDERED TO ONE ANOTHER NOT AS A DUTY BUT IN LOVE. ANYTHING BE IT SERVICE OR OTHERWISE, YOU ARE RENDERING TO ONE ANOTHER AND IT IS NOT PROPELLED BY LOVE, IT THEN MEANS IT IS A DUTY, IT IS CUMBERSOME, IT IS BORING, FILLED WITH COMPLAINING, MURMURING, GRUMBLING AND GRUDGING. AND IT IS EVIDENCED IN THE OUTPUT. IT IS EASILY SEEN IN THE OUTPUT.
32. JUST LIKE I STARTED SINGING HERE, LET NO MAN FOOL YOU, GOD IS NOT DECEIVED. YOUR FACE IS THE WINDOW OF YOUR MIND. YOUR FACE IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR INNER FEELINGS. Amen.
2
THE PARADOX
To God be the glory. I will live and you will live that you might see how the Son of Man will end it all, because the end will tell you who started it.
2. Of course, those that are already in Me and I in them, they are already relaxed. But many are struggling to find their way into the Son of Man because it is not easy. It is not an easy road. It is not an easy road. Amen.
3. Now, I want you to look up here. We are about to declare the whole thing open as we reverence the Lord who gave us journey mercies to be here.
4. I want to leave an indelible impression in the hearts of all that will see My face here today. And I want you to see especially those that have been with Me from the very beginning that I have remained what I am.
5. In spite of all your insinuations, I am what I am. Your slurs, your slander, your half-truth, your innuendos, I have remained what I am, immovable, unshakable. It is easier to dislocate and dislodge mount Arafat than to dislocate and dislodge the Son of Man. My foundation is not here.
6. I know where I came from; I know why I am here even till now. I have over stayed for the sake of some not for the sake of all. I am striving to see whether I can save some, not all.
7. I know you know Me, you know where I was born, your know where I was bred. But there is one in Me whom you do not know, who sent Me here. And My food is to do His will and accomplish it.
8. Let us go to the ground of truth. If you want to be a part of this, if you are a minster, I will like you to come over here with a microphone behind Me and make sure you read very loudly – straight to the point.
9. I want to have all the translations here. Note it, reading the Bible is not a ministry. I needed an interpreter but I changed My mind. I can speak the central Igbo very plainly even more than anybody here.
10. But I have noticed that it will not help Me neither will it help anybody. I will try as much as I can, at least, to go between the middle to reach you in the language and level you will understand so that in the end, you will give Me a name.
11. In the end, you will give Me a name. I will not give Myself a name, you will give Me a name depending on how I have imparted to your life either positively or negatively.
12. Let it be known to all and sundry that I am not here to make any convert. No! I do not have a single convert. I do not have a single convert. I am not here for a crusade. No! I am not here to exhibit My oratory. No!
13. I AM HERE FOR A PURPOSE TO LAY A FORMIDABLE FOUNDATION FOR A FAMILY I AM VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN.
14. I AM A STAKE HOLDER IN THIS FAMILY. AND I AM ALL OUT TO GIVE THEM THAT WHICH I HAVE GIVEN MY DAUGHTERS THAT ARE MARRIED. FOR WHICH CAUSE, I GO TO BED WITH MY WIFE AND HAVE REAL QUIET NIGHT.
15. SO, I WILL LIKE SISTER MOSES AND FAMILY TO GO TO BED TODAY AND THEN SLEEP QUIETLY. EVEN THE SPIRIT OF BISHOP MOSES WILL BE GLAD THAT I AM HERE TODAY. THE SPIRIT WILL REST BECAUSE THAT WHICH I PROMISED, I WILL FULFILL HERE.
16. So, I am not here because Opi or Nsukka invited Me. If they had invited Me, they would have given Me a place to place My heard. I would have been residing in their homes or wherever they say I should be.
17. But I pitched tent o where I choose because I invited Myself to fulfill My own obligation to the family because I am a part of it. IF IT CRUMBLES, MY NAME WILL BE IN THE FORE FRONT BUT IT WILL NEVER CRUMBLE.
18. Let Me tell you something. If you trust and have confidence in your father who happens to be the pilot piloting the air plane where you are sitting down as a passenger. No matter the trouble in the mid air, no matter the alarm your father is raising, as long as He is in the cockpit, you do not need to panic. Place your heard on the pillow, have your rest.
19. He that knows the end from the beginning is here. That is why, wherever He is, there the eagles will gather for He is the carcass.
20. Let us go to the Bible which is the language many will understand. You are mixed, if I should talk to your without the Bible, many might be thinking I am telling them stories.
21. But from the biblical point of view, today, you will know whether we are celebrating marriage or boyfriend-girlfriend. Because I cannot be a party to celebrating boyfriend-girlfriend. Mere human association. No!
22. I am here to institute something because whatever God does, last forever. Nothing can be added nor subtracted because God is Eternal. Whatever God does is eternal.
23. That is why I am here, by the time I will come down, you will re-examine your marriage. That which you are calling marriage, you will know whether it is marriage or not.
24. We go to the Scriptures. I will read randomly. Not scriptures you have not been hearing but scriptures you are conversant with. But you never have the right spirit to assimilate them.
25. In the interest of those who do not know Me, today might be the first time you are coming into contact with Me, you are happily welcome. Do Me a favour and do yourself a service.
26. Try to have a plain sheet, a biro pen where you will jot every Scripture I will quote, so that when you get home, you crosscheck using your own Bible to know whether I misinformed you.
27. I do not belong to any Church. I do not belong to any association or cult. I am a freeman, a free radical. A mad man has no home. If you do not see Me as a normal human being, see Me as an abnormal human being. And I chose to be abnormal.
28. Take your pen, take your papers and listen to the abnormal man. A man that is out of his senses! Yes! So that when you get home, feel free and crosscheck. If I should misinform you, what will be My gain? If I should deceive you, what will be My profit? Thus, I am here for the truth and nothing but the truth.
29. Get me Living Bible translations for clearer understanding. I will make use of those that contain today’s English. If I should read King James, many may query it. But let me use one that is universal. Amen.

THE HEAVENLY MESSENGER
First Thessalonians chapter 2, I want to introduce Myself. You read verse 4 through 5, Living Bible. The guest preacher is about to introduce who He is. If you cannot see Me, recognize Me from the Word, you will miss My mission. Am about to introduce Myself.
2. “For we speak as messengers from God trusted by him to tell the truth.”
3. We speak as messengers from God, trusted by God to speak the truth. Not trusted by human beings. Not messengers from human beings. I am not a manmade messenger.
4. If I am a manmade messenger, I will be speaking to suit your taste. To please you, maybe to enable you clap hands for Me or to give Me money or to become your friend which I can never be.
5. I am introducing Myself. If you know where I come from, know whose Messenger I am, and He must tell Me to be courageous enough to speak the truth without looking at anybody’s face.
6. For that reason, I can never compromise with any flesh. Neither will I look at your faces. No! Whatever you may think you are, put it inside your pocket. I see you as ordinary casket. I see you as ordinary casket. Finish!
7. “For we speak as messengers from God trusted by him to tell the truth.
8. We change His message not one bit to suit the taste of those who hear it. For we serve God alone who examines our hearts deepest thoughts…”
9. We serve God alone who examines our hearts deepest thoughts. He knows our motive. We do not change His message not even one bit to suit the taste of our hearers. For we are messengers from God, sent by God, trusted by God to tell the truth. Not manmade, not Church messenger. Not General Overseer of a business center in the name of Jesus Christ. No!
10. ONCE I INTRODUCE MYSELF, YOU BEGIN TO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ME. I AM FOR PEACE, BUT WHENEVER I OPENED MY MOUTH, MY WORDS ARE FOR WAR.
11. HOWEVER, SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD LOVE TO HEAR ME SPEAKING. YES, FOR I HAVE TAUGHT THEM TO CUSHION HARD TRUTHS.
12. THEY HAVE DEVELOPED STRONG MUSCLES, STRONG SHOULDERS, STRONG HEADS TO SHOULDER THE TRUTH NO MATTER HOW HEAVY.
13. I HAVE TAUGHT THEM THAT ANY DRUG THAT IS NOT BITTER IS NOT EFFECTIVE. EFFECTIVE DRUGS MUST BE BITTER. HENCE, THEY HAVE LEARNED TO SWALLOW BITTER DRUGS. Amen.
14. Often times, My Messages may be caustic. They may have death aroma. However, to the saints, they have sweet life aroma. My Message is very bitter in the mouth, but when you take in, it stimulates your appetite. It becomes a healing Message.
15. We do not even change His Message one bit to suit the taste of our hearers.
16. “Never once did we try to win you with flattery, as you very well know…”
17. We will never flatter you so as to win you. Thus, do not expect anything flattering. I will not flatter you, whether Brother Onyema or the wife or the parents. I have not even flattered anybody even in time past for I know the awful implications of flattery.
18. Job said, “I know not how to flatter any man. For if I do that, my God will surely take Me away.” Thus, do not expect flatter.
19. “Never once did we try to win you with flattery, as you very well know And God knows we are not just pretending to be your friends so that you would give us money.”
20. Today, we see too many who have even become grievous wolves in sheep clothing, but come out to pretend that they love their flock so as to collect money from them. They pretend to be friends to their flock, to their hearers in other that they may extort money from them.
21. For if they should exhibit the real thing they are, everybody will be on the run. These are those that are being used for rituals here and there by their trusted friends who claim to be pastors and men of God; only to gather them for ritual in different forms. I do not need to go there. Let Me face My real task for today.
22. ‘As for praise, we have never asked from you…”
23. As for praise, I do not need it. Do not clap hands for Me. Do not call Me good man or bad man. Keep your praise with yourself. You begin to wonder the type of preacher our Brother Oyenma has invited.
24. I said that I will introduce Myself through the Word. If you cannot recognize Me through the Word, your staying here may be boring to you. You may be wishing that I should leave.
25. There is no way you can gather for wedding and invite Me without expecting the food which the Son of Man giveth. If you expecting rice and beans wait, we have plenty of that.
26. But if you are intelligent and wise, you will be ready for the meat, for the food which the Son of Man giveth which endureth to everlasting life. For He alone has the Father sealed and sent.
27. “As for praise, we have never asked for it from you or anyone else. Although as Apostles of Christ we certainly have the right to some honour from you, but we were as gentle among you…”
28. We were so gentle among you
29. “…as a mother feeding and caring for her own children.”
30. We handle you with tender mercy as a mother shows tender mercy to her loving kid.
31. St. John 3 verse 34. Living Bible. “Those who believe him discover that God is a fountain of truth…”
32. Those that believed Him, H.I.M. what did they discover? GOD IS A FOUNTAIN OF TRUTH. I want to introduce who I am.
33. “Those who believe him discover that God is a fountain of truth. For this one sent by God,…”
34. For this one sent by God
35. “…For this one sent by God, speaks God’s words,…”
36. He does what? He speaks God’s words not his own words for God is with Him. When God sends a man, He backs Him up.
37. “…for God’s Spirit is upon him without measure or limit.” LB.
38. “Whoever receives His testimony has set his seal of approval to this: God is true. [That man has definitely certified, acknowledged, declared once and for all, and is himself assured that it is divine truth that God cannot lie].
39. For since He Whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaims God’s own message], God does not give Him His Spirit sparingly or by measure,…”
40. God does not give Him His spirit sparingly. Half and half, No! In Him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Which means the Elohim dwelleth in Him.
41. “For since He Whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaims God’s own message], God does not give Him His Spirit sparingly or by measure,but boundless is the gift God makes of His Spirit.” AMP. Amen.

CHRIST HAS APPEARED TO TAKE
THE ELECT TO THE PROMISED LAND –
Hebrews chapter 9 verse 28. LB. I want to show you the people I am talking to so that you will not be offended. I am not generalizing; I know you have your different motives why you are here.
2. Some received wedding invitation. Some received God’s invitation. Some decided on their own that they must be here by and by. I mean, they invited themselves. These three categories of people are here.
3. But I want to pinpoint the particular category My Message is directed to, so, if you fall within the ambits of this category, happy are you.
4. If you are outside this category, please praise God and remain where you are. Feel free.
5. Remember that I am the visible Devil. Yes, the visible Devil. Thus, stop coining any other thing you will call Me. This is the highest. The moment I am not from God, I am from the Devil.
6. But remember, whoever that God sends speaks the Word of God, for the Spirit of God is in Him without measure. And those who listen to Him, accept His Message, verify the Message bear witness that He is the fountain of truth.
7. Hebrews 9 verse 29, “So also Christ died only once as an offering for many people.”
8. For the sins of what? Many people! Not the whole world.
9. “And he will come again but not to deal again with our sins…”
10. He will come again, not to deal with sin. He will come again not to deal with sin. That one has been taking care of, once and for all, for that was his own ministry.
11. You must know the ministry of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of many not the world. Note it, many, not the world.
12. He came to his own, He is a savior only to His own. He knows his own. He knows their dwelling places. He calls them by their names. He gives them Eternal Life.
13. They will never perish, neither will anything pluck them out of His hand. If He had come to take away the sins of the world, the devil will be saved. Lucifer will be number one for he was with him even when the world was without form.
14. “So also Christ died only once as an offering for many people. And he will come again but not to deal again with our sins. This time he will come…”
15. This time, He will come.
16. “This Time He will come bringing salvation…”
17. Bringing what? Salvation!
18. “…to all those”
19. To who?
20. “…To all those who are eagerly and patiently waiting for him.”
21. Put your hands together brethren.
22. Many think He will come and they will fly away. How can you fly away when you have not been purified? Is there anything that is defiled that will be there? No!
23. How can you fly away when you do not have God’s nature which is your ticket to paradise? This is because, anybody who does not have the nature of Christ, can never dwell with Him eternally.
24. A man that marries a woman that does not have his nature must keep on having problems with that woman. Is that not true? For the Bride and the Bridegroom to be one, they must have the same heartbeat.
25. Then, it behoveth the Bridegroom to come and prepare the Bride by imparting His nature into the Bride. After which, He will present her to Himself as a chaste virgin. Not having spot, wrinkle or blemish.
26. Brother Onyema has adorned Sister Afoma, not for anybody, but for himself to suit his taste. Brother Onyema is the bridegroom, the central point of all that is happening today. The two have now become one.
27. Sister Afoma now will be understudying Brother Onyema so as to assume Brother Onyema’s nature, that the family might be in peace.
28. But Brother Onyema can never adopt Sister Afoma’s nature. It must go the way of Onyema, and not the way of Afoma, otherwise, it is not a family.
29. I am trying to introduce Myself so that when I enter into the Word proper, you can give Me a name.
30. I know today some will go home saying, “Never in this life have I come across a man speaking like this.” Some will say, “My heart was burning within me even when I heard his words. Many things pricked my conscience.”
31. Today is My day because I am involved. The family is mine. Thus, it is My sole responsibility to lay a formidable foundation because the foundation of every building determine how long that building will last.
32. If the foundation is weak, the building will develop cracks. Before you know it, it will crumble. Passerby will be saying, “Once upon a time, there was a big structure here.”
33. But I am laying an eternal foundation because whatever God does, is eternal. Amen.
34. KJV. Even in that your King James, it is equally there.
35. Hebrews 9:28“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;…”
36. Have you heard it? Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, not the world. Oftentimes, people speak where the Bible does not speak.
37. You quote your manmade pastors and everywhere: “Jesus for the world.” Is that scriptural? Do not worry, I will show you something.
38. “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time…”
39. But unto them, unto those that look for Him shall He appear the second time. Will He appear?
40. “And unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” KJV.
41. Have you heard it? No longer to deal with sin. Christ has appeared, to take us to the promise land.
42. John chapter 8 verse 31 through 32. I am still introducing Myself and the category of people I have come to talk to. But the rest, we shall dine together. \
43. “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,…”
44. Jesus said to those Jews that believed on him, not those that never believe. You see the category of people I am meeting?
45. “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word,…”
46. If you continue in my Word as My believers. Not believing today and dumping it tomorrow. The secret of success into paradise lies in constancy and continuity.
47. For whosoever that will persevere unto the end, the same shall be saved. The Apostles said, “We shall only be saved if we hold unto the profession of our faith without wavering unto the end.”
48. The Lord Jesus said, “Whoever that endures till the end, the same shall be saved.” Not believing and dumping.
49. CONSTANCY and CONTINUITY, STEADFASTNESS. That is what that will take you there. To those that have believed, not those that never believed. He said, “If you now continue in my words.”
50. “…if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;…”
51. But if you do not continue, what are you? You see why the Hebrews said, “We are not numbered among those that draw back unto perdition. But we are among those who move forward to the saving of our souls. For if we draw back, the Spirit of Christ will no longer be pleased with us.”
52. If you are striving for mastery, you are not crowned. You can never win the trophy until you have played the final game. Until you have reached the end, you can never be crowned.
53. Nobody has ever been crowned midway. You cannot obtain your degree certificate without writing your degree exam.
54. You want eternal life? All in your hands. I am here not for everybody but for many.
55. “…if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth,…”
56. You will know what? The truth! You will know what? The truth! For truth proceeds only from God. Christ is the truth, the way and the life. No man cometh to the father except by him. No falsehood in him.
57. If you are an Apostle, you are an Apostle of truth. If you are a Bishop, you are a Bishop of truth. If you are a Teacher, you are a Teacher of truth. Evangelist of truth. I mean, whatever you maybe, it must be truth. Or else, you are operating outside Christ.
58. For Christ is the truth, the way and the life. Whoever that is in the truth is in Christ. You are walking in the light. Darkness cannot comprehend your heart again. For truth illuminates your home.
59. You see why Nsukka and Opi are still dying? For they are still walking in the dark.
60. Let Me tell you, all of you here should pray because if you sin willfully after knowing who God is, acknowledged the truth, propagated the truth and you begin to draw back to sin willfully, that sin is not be covered with the blood of Jesus. This is an unpardonable sin. Is it in the scripture? Thank you!
61. What is awaiting you? You will be waiting for the fearful indignation and wrath of God which will be revealed upon the children of disobedience. Which you are one of them.
62. “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” KJV. AMEN.

GOD IS A MAN
John chapter 12 verse 49. I am still introducing Myself. Introduction continues. If Genesis is like this, what do you think will be contained in Revelation? If Genesis is like this, what will Revelation look like? Because I am about to go to revelation.
2. Because where I am going now is revelation, it is faith for faith is revelation. For no man knoweth who God is, nobody knoweth who the Father is, neither do you know who the Son is except those it shall be revealed to by My Father. And this is where faith will be applied.
3. “For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment,…” KJV.
4. “For these are not my own idea…”
5. These, whatever you are going to hear, they are not expression of My own human ideas or opinions.
6. “For these are not my own idea but I have told you what the father said to tell you…” LB.
7. I HAVE. I WILL tell you what He that is in Me have commanded Me to tell you.
8. St. John chapter 7 verse 38. “Then said Jesus unto them,…”
9. Jesus said unto the crowd as you are here now, so they were when he was here in human form before he left the scene, he told you one that will be coming after him.
10. For he told his disciples, “I have too many things I would have told you but you cannot bear them now. Nevertheless, when He, the Spirit of Truth shall come, he will guide you into the knowledge of all truth.
11. “He will remind you of things I have already taught you, He will declare to you things that are yet to come. For I am going to my Father, He will never speak of Himself. But whatsoever He heareth from me, that He will declare unto you.
12. I want to introduce Myself before you can hear Me. St. Paul was talking to Galatians Church, he said, “You know me very well, you know the source of my message that it came to me from no less a personality than the Lord Jesus Christ who chose me from my mother’s womb for this purpose of preaching the gospel of life.”
13. When you know the person, you know the source of the message, to pay attention becomes easy. Then, you verify, check for yourself whether you are hearing the word of a mere man.
14. “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”KJV
15. Verse 28. “Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught,…”
16. Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught them.
17. “…saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am:…”
18. All of you know Me.
19. “…And ye know whence I am…”
20. and you know where I came from.
21. “…and I am not come of myself,…”’
22. I never sent Myself.
23. “…but he that sent me is true,…”
24. He that sent Me is what? True!
25. “…whom ye know not.”
26. Whom you know not.
27. “So Jesus in a sermon in the Temple called out, Yes, you know me and where I was born…”
28. You know Me and where I was born and bred. You know me, you know where I was born and you know how I was brought up.
29. Some of you are from the same community like Myself. This statement I just made now, is it English? After all said and done, we will explain. After sharing in the square, it is taken back to the family house.
30. When Joseph was done with speaking the Egyptian language, his brothers thought he was an Egyptian. It got to a point he called Benjamin, “Come here.”
31. He called Rueben. He called Gad, “Stop crying. I am Joseph your brother. The one you sold into slavery and went home to tell out father that a lion devoured him. Stop crying. I am the one.”
32. They sold him as a slave. They met him as a king. The provider for the whole world. They met him as a saviour. Saviour of the whole world in the time of famine. Grievous famine. Sold him as a slave. Met him as a saviour. Not only saviour to them but saviour of many who came to him. He never cast any away.
33. “So Jesus in a sermon in the Temple called out, Yes, you know me from where I was born and raised. But I am the representative of one you don’t know,…”
34. I am the what?
35. “…the representative of one you don’t know.”
36. I am a representative of one you do not know.
37. “…and he is truth.”
38. And he is what? Truth. He is what? Truth!
39. Whom you will know and then be set free. I am a representative. You know what it takes for the president to send somebody to Nsukka as his own personal representative. If you receive him, you have received the president. You reject him, you have rejected the president.
40. The Lord Jesus said, “Whosoever that receives whosoever the Father sends, receives the Father. You reject him, you have rejected the Father.”
41. When St. Paul was the one bearing God’s Name, was sent to the Gentiles and they could not believe in him, he retorted, “Seeing that you have disbelieved me, you have counted yourself unworthy of everlasting life.”
42. There is no other way God can reach and save you without using a human being as an instrument. A human being, a Vessel He prepare for Himself. For He does not dwell in a house made with hands, but the house has He prepared for Himself.
43. And whenever the Spirit of God abides in the vessel made by God, the tabernacle of God is then among men. The Vessel becomes the tabernacle of God. In other words, God is now tabernacling in the midst of human beings.
44. Roman Catholics here, you see what you do not believe? In the Eucharist, Heaven and earth relate with each other. God and man will become what? One! In the spirit and everywhere. He will become progress himself and also wisdom. Heaven and earth met.
45. This is what they are teaching. When Catholic was Catholic, “I believe in one God, the creator of heavens and earth, things that are visible and invisible.” Amen.
6
MY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ME
Remember, I said that whenever the Spirit of God abides in the vessel made by God, the tabernacle of God is then among men. The Vessel becomes the tabernacle of God. In other words, God is now tabernacling in the midst of human beings.
2. Now, let us know who that Person is. You know I am mad. I am out of My senses. A very abnormal man. Yes! Do not take me as a normal man today. I am now abnormal. I am out of my senses.
3. Colossians 1 verse 16. “Christ Himself is the creator…”
4. Christ himself is what? The Creator.
5. “…Who made everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see and the things we cannot. The spirit world with kings, kingdoms,…”
6. The spirit world with what? Kings and kingdoms.
7. “… its rulers, and authorities. All were made by Christ for his own use and glory.” LB.
8. Put your hands together brethren! Then, Who is that ONLY One and True God who created the heavens and earth, thing that are visible and invisible? Where lieth three in one?
9. For the Bible said, “God is one, His Name one.” Where did we manufacture three in one? God the father, God the son, God the Holy Spirit.
10. A human being with three heads ceases to be a human being. You see why the Lord Jesus said, “They err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.” If they had known, they would have believed that I and My Father are one. If you have seen Me, you have seen my father for my father dwelleth in me.”
11. In John chapter 14 from verse 1 said, “Believe in My father, believe also in me.” I want to establish it.
12. John 14 verse 1. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.”
13. Have you seen it? You believe in God, believe also in me.
14. Verse 10. “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?…”
15. HAVE YOU SEEN IT? DON’T YOU BELIEVE THAT IN ME IS THE FATHER REVEALED? HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE FATHER? EVEN THE ORIGINAL BODY? EVEN IN THE GODHEAD? WHAT ELSE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE FULLNESS OF THE DEITY IN THE MIDST OF THE BRIDE? WHAT ELSE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
16. [Pastor Thomas, when we get home, give him one copy of the Bridal chronicle. He merits it. He has been with Me for a very long time. A fine gentle man].
17. St. John chapter 1 verse 10. Living Bible “But although he made world,…”
18. Who made the world? Christ!
19. “But although he made world, the world didn’t recognize him when he came.”
20. The world He made never recognized Him. That is why even in the Old Testament, God told the prophet to go and tell them that the ox knows it’s owner, animals knows their owner but my people do not know Me. Although the made the world, but the world He made – human beings never recognized Him when He came.
21. Verse 11-12. “Even in his own land and among his own people,…”
22. Even in His own land among His own people.
23. “The Jews, he was not accepted…”
24. He was not accepted. You see! I gave you a Message RAW titled, “Recognition, Acceptance and then Worship.” His own people never recognized Him, they never accepted Him, how can they worship Him? That was why they were worshipping amiss. Worshipping something they knew not, an imaginary God.
25. I know today is My day “Even in his own land and among his own people the Jews, he was not accepted. Only a few will welcome…”
26. What? Only a few will welcome. What? Only a few.”
27. Say after Me. What?
28. Only a few. What? Only a few.
29. You see why His disciple asked him a question whether many will be saved, He said, “No, the road is narrow, only a few will find it. But strive that you may enter for many will try to enter but they will not. But broad is the way that leads to everlasting destruction. Many are there that follow that way.”
30. Broad way! How many can pay the price? Some are here because they think it is a new Message. Some are here because they want to better their lot. But if you are here for Eternal Life, be ready to pay the price! When they came to Jesus for Eternal Life, He gave them cost of discipleship.
31. For there is no man that wants to build a house who does not sit down to calculate what it would take. Or else, he will stop midway.
32. People will laugh at him. “He was following God before now; he is no longer following God.”He never counted the cost. He jumped in.
33. “He was a man of God before. But now, he is a devil.” He never counted the cost. He followed people. Do not follow Me. Do not follow anybody. Look up to Christ.
34. “Only a few will welcome and receive him. But to all who receive him…”
35. To those people that now received Him
36. “…he gave the right to become children of God.”
37. He gave what?
38. The right to become the children of God.
39. He gave what? He conferred them with the right to be sons and daughters of God. Why? On the basis of Recognition, Acceptance and Worship. I am introducing Myself.
40. Verse 14. “And Christ became a human being…”
41. Who? Christ.
42. Became what? A human being.
43. Can it be possible? Since all children of God are human beings. Christ became what? A human being.
44. “And Christ became human and lived here on earth…”
45. And lived where? Here on earth! Is it true? And He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And He said, “I will never leave you comfortless. I will be with you till the end of the world. A little while, the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. For because I live, ye shall live also.”
46. “And Christ became human and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness and truth.”
47. Full of loving forgiveness and truth. If you are a Catholic here, I more.
48. PATER noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.…Amen.
49. I recited “OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven….” in Latin language.
50. For the disciple said, “Master, teach us how to pray.” So please, I never spoke in tongue.
51. What are we saying? And the Word became a human being, live here among us, having favour with men and with God. For God was with him. Now what are we going to call it? The Word that was made flesh and He dwells among us. Put your hands together for God.
52. You see why God does not belong to any denomination? He is a free radical, The Self-existing One, He only identifies with truth. Wherever He sees truth, He perches there. No matter who is holding that truth, God is there.
53. For no man can hold the truth if God is not with Him. Am I making sense? He that is of the truth is of God and there is nothing to fear in that person. Glory to be to God in the highest. Amen.

GOD IS AMONG MEN
Hebrews chapter 2 verse 14. What am I doing? A little here, a little there. Corroborating and collaborating. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
2. Now, I say peace unto you. If an Hausa man will turn to you and say, “As-salaam alaykum” which means, “peace be unto you.”
3. You will say, “What? He is a Boko Haram person!” Because you cannot understand his language. “Insha Allah”, which means “by the grace of God”. You also say it!
4. Is it because you do not understand his language? Is it because people in Islam are practicing another thing?
5. All that are carrying the Bible to Church, is there any of them that is living the life of Christ? That is the cause of reproach. That is the cause of the trouble.
6. All that are following Mohammed, is there any of them that is patterning after His teaching? No! Politicians! That is the problem.
7. There is nothing evil about Truth. Evil remains with the people who claim they are in truth yet they live a life of falsehood
8. Hebrew 2 verse 14. KJV “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,…”
9. As much as the children of God are partakers of flesh and blood
10. “…he also himself likewise took part of the same;…”
11. He took part of the same.
12. “…that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.”
13. Only as a human being can He destroy he that has the power of death.
14. Living Bible translation. “Since we God’s children are human beings…”
15. Since we God’s children are what? Human being, having flesh and blood. Remember when Jesus resurrected from the dead, he entered into the house of Rhoda where they were having their communion, they wanted to run away.
16. He said, “Peace be unto you.” Judas was not there. They could not understand what was happening for they were afraid.
17. He said, “Peter, touch me, handle Me. I have flesh and blood. Spirit does not have flesh and blood.”
18. Then, if you go by the Bible, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of heaven. Did not Jesus have flesh and blood? So, Jesus went to hell? They err not knowing the scripture nor the power of God.
19. You see why when they could not understand, Jesus said, “You are quick to hear but slow to understand.” He now expounded their understanding that they might understand the real meaning of the Scriptures.
20. “Since we God’s children are human beings –made of flesh and blood–he became flesh and blood too…” He became what? Flesh and blood too. He became a human being too.
21. If I say that God is a human being and you say you do not believe, what will you believe? You do not even believe that you are the express picture of Him and you do not believe the Scriptures.
22. Since you do not believe the Scriptures and you do not believe yourself, what do you believe?
23. If God is not a human being, you are not a human being. Whatever that is begotten of a snake must be a snake. Whatever that is begotten of a rat must be a rat. Whatever that is begotten of a God must be God. Children of God!
24. You see, your rejoicing is not in vain because you have known who I am. And you are in Me who is Eternal Life. Do not be too curious about knowing My Name.
25. “Since we God’s children are human beings –made of flesh and blood–he became flesh and blood too by being born in human form.
26. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the Devil, who had the power of death.” LB.
27. I love this light. This is the light of truth. Yes! It is glowing. Do not allow this light to go down.
28. James chapter 1, in collusion. I want to introduce Myself. This is the last scripture I will read in this Introduction. You can call it, Son of Man’s preface intro to this wedding.
29. James chapter 1 verse 22 through 25. Now, you have been listening to Me all these while and I have been carrying you along.
30. I am sure and certain that even if you do not understand you are writing something down so that when you get home, you crosscheck to know whether I have misinformed you. But I know I will never.
31. Even if I will try to do it, the Spirit that turned the tongue of Balaam will turn My own. How can God permit Me to deceive His children? Never, never.
32. Balaam was all out to place a curse on the children of God because of money. When he opened his mouth, the Lord turned his tongue. Instead of cursing, he started blessing.
33. Balak ran mad with him. He said, “How can I curse a people God has already blessed? Impossible!
34. “Dear Brothers, don’t ever forget that it is best to listen much..”
35. What? “Dear Brothers, don’t ever forget that it is best to listen much and speak little.”
36. It is best to pay attention very much and open our mouth a little. I think wisdom is there. Too much hearing and less talking.
37. “Dear Brothers,..”
38. Dear Brothers and Sisters! Are Sisters excluded from God’s program?
39. “Dear Brothers [and Sisters], don’t ever forget that it is best to listen much and speak little and not become angry.”
40. And what?
41. Not become angry.
42. Do not allow what I am saying to provoke you to wrath, for man’s anger can never work out God’s righteousness. Even if it is not sinking well with you, please accept Me anyhow.
43. If you do not accept Me as God-sent, accept Me as the visible Temple, for God never destroyed Lucifer, otherwise, he will not be acting till today.
44. Nobody has ever been sent to destroy Lucifer. Even Jesus never destroyed Lucifer. When Lucifer saw Jesus, he said, “Jesus Christ, Son of the Most High God. Have you come here to destroy us before our time?”
45. He [Jesus] said, “Nay!” He [Lucifer] said, “Please do not do that. Command us to enter into these pigs.” The time for the destruction of the devil is not yet come.
46. I am not here to destroy the Devil. Neither am I here to destroy the works of the Devil.
47. Let Me ask you this question. You are all intelligent. You go to Churches where they bind the Devil every day. Some say they have put Devil in the bottomless pit.
48. This Devil that is found and put into the bottomless pit by your pastors and reverends, who brought him out? Unless English has lost its meaning. Since they have bound him, who loosed him?
49. This is because God is the only Being who will bind, nobody can loose. When He opens the door, nobody can close it. When He closes, nobody can open. When He exalts a man, nobody can beat him.
50. Then, who is this person that is loosening the Devil God bound. May be they do not know who the Devil is. They use their mouths to put fish into the soup, attempting to bind their father, because the Devil is the father of all liars.
51. And I want to affirm that all that were here before Me were liars. They were thieves. That is why there is conspiracy against the Son of Man. Conspiracy against the truth, because they want to wield power, as if power is all that is needed to be here.
52. If power offers protection, why do Governors go with fleet of escorts? If power offers security, why do they go with security men?
53. If money gives happiness, don’t you know that rich people will be dancing on the streets? But who are in the hiding? The rich. If all it takes to get married is to be a celebrity, well, I do not think Afoma would have married.
54. Anybody who is not a celebrity would miss it. I am saying that celebrities would have captured marriage, but unfortunately, celebrities have become abandoned property. Expired materials. The whole single mothers we have today are found among the celebrity.
55. I am here for truth. Nothing but the truth. Do more hearing than talking and do not allow My Word to provoke you to anger, because the way you receive the Word of God will determine the way it will work in you. The Acts of the Apostles said that those that gladly received the Word were added to the Church for salvation.
56. And when the Word went forth in Antioch, all that were ordained to salvation believed. The rest demonstrated and protested and went away to their own peril.
57. Thus, do not protest. Hold your temper under control, because when you provoke Me as I discern it, I will give you a gift.
58. I will give you a gift. And you know what My gift is always like. A very nice gift. You brandish it wherever you go. In short, nobody will tell you. Anybody that sees you will know that you met the Son of Man, because it is a gift that is very very cherishable.
59. “Dear Brothers, don’t ever forget that it is best to listen much, speak little and not become angry.
60. For anger does not make us good as God demands that we must be. So get rid of all that is wrong in your life….”
61. Get rid of all that is wrong in your life.
62. “…both inside and outside…”
63. Both inside and outside.
64. “…and humbly be glad for the wonderful message we have received.”
65. Do what? Be humbly glad for the wonderful Message I am about to open.
66. Madam, this is against My principle. If you were in you conference halls or lecture halls, do you answer calls? Why don’t you reverence God? I respect your motherhood, but respect your Creator.
67. Please, if you phone is not doing recording, please switch it off. I commanded you to do recording. You can as well take My photograph, if I permit you, but tell Me otherwise you may spoil your handset.
68. “So get rid of all that is wrong in your life….”
69. So get rid of all that is wrong in your life.
70. “…both inside and outside..”
71. Rampant manifestation of radicalism. Rampant outgrowth of radicalism that is prevalent among the human race. Get rid of them. You know I the greatest radical. Do you believe that? Of course, you know more than that. You are radicals also.
72. Every Messenger from God has always been a radical. All of them came with revolutionary Messages. And they were grossly misunderstood. Only few understood them.
73. But there was something common with all of them. They never practiced rampant radicalism, but indulged in ATTITUDE RADICALISM. Intelligent one.
74. “So get rid of all that is wrong in your life both inside and outside and humbly be glad for the wonderful message we have received, for it is able to save our souls as it takes hold of our hearts. And remember, it is a message to obey.”
75. It is a Message to obey and not merely listen to.
76. “And remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to, if you humble yourself.”
77. Humble yourself.
78. “For if a person just listens and does not obey, it is like a man looking at his face in a mirror. As soon as he walks away, he can’t see himself anymore or remember what he looks like.
79. But if anyone keeps looking steadily into God’s law for free men, he will not only remember it, but he will do what it says. And God will greatly bless him in everything he does.”
80. To God be the Glory. Amen.
