Preached On Sunday 22nd SSeptember, 2019 @ The Household of God, Onitsha, Nigeria. By Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN HE THAT SANCTIFIES
UNTIL YOU ARE CONVINCED, SURE AND CERTAIN ABOUT THE PERSONALITY YOU ARE HAVING DEALINGS WITH, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ECHO AMEN IN THIS FAITH. AND YOU ARE NOT MY DISCIPLE. I AM NOT SENT FOR YOU. YOU ARE NOT FOR ME. YOU ARE FAR FROM ME AS I AM FAR FROM YOU. YOU ARE EQUALLY FAR FROM THE SALVATION FOR WHICH CAUSE I WAS SENT.
HOLDING UNTO THE CERTAINTY OF THE FAITH: FOR THERE UNTO I AM BORN VOL 1 PG. 110 VS. 42 – 43
1
WHO IS YOUR MASTER PIECE? (2)
Now, a new ministry is on the land which has impacted a new faith, and this faith is no other faith but the Faith of Christ which we handle without respect of persons.
2. IF WE ARE HOLDING THE MINISTRY OF PERFECTION, AND WE ARE HAVING A GUIDE AND THAT GUIDE IS OUR INSTRUCTOR; MAYBE YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT THE CAPTAIN OF OUR SALVATION HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE PERFECT.
3. THIS IS WHERE YOUR PROBLEM LIES. THE CAPTAIN OF OUR SALVATION HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE PERFECT. HE IS NOT STRUGGLING TO BE PERFECTED.
4. If He has not been made perfect, there is no way He could lead you to perfection because He does not know the way.
5. As a result, the Captain of our salvation has already been made perfect. He was already filled with the Holy Spirit even right in His mother’s womb, ordained for the cause which you now see Him operate.
6. There is no other thing for which He came to this world than what He is doing now, and He was tested and proven before He was sent.
7. You have to pattern after my own life. A man said so and that man was acknowledged as the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “LOOK UNTO ME AS YOUR INSTRUCTOR, LEADER, AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH.”
8. Heb. 12:2 “Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God”.AMP
9. St. Paul said, “IMITATE ME. FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE AS I FOLLOW AFTER CHRIST. PATTERN YOUR LIFE AFTER MINE.”
10. 1 cor. 4:16 “So I urge and implore you, be imitators of me”. AMP
11. Now, which one do you take? St. Paul or Jesus? If you take Jesus and reject St. Paul, then you are guilty. I say you are guilty because Jesus was a minister of circumcision to confirm the promise that was made unto the fathers. He preached Christianity but he did not practice it. St. Paul was a Christian but Jesus was not a Christian.
12. Jesus was born a Jew and lived under the Jewish Laws, to liberate them that were under the Jewish Laws. When a man is alive and makes a will, that will is ineffective until that man dies. A will is ineffective when a man is alive; THUS, THIS IS THE ONLY TIME JESUS CAN BECOME A CHRISTIAN TO BRING THE CHURCH TO PERFECTION.
13. Heb. 6:16-17 “Men indeed swear by a greater [than themselves], and with them in all disputes the oath taken for confirmation is final [ending strife].
14. Accordingly God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath”AMP
15. The world has never known the meaning of Christianity, they were seeing mere religion, receiving petitions here and there. Maybe you do not know that Jesus was a Sabbatarian. Read your Bible.
16. He was born a Jew and lived under the Jewish Laws, to liberate them that were under the Jewish Laws and then preached Christianity as a will.
17. Moreover, a will can never be into effect until he that made the will dies, then the will takes effect. In other words, Jesus has to die for this Christianity to come up.
18. The first Christ that came, that was witnessed in the Gentile was St. Paul. The people saw the thing; in Antioch they saw it quite alright.
19. They behaved like Christ but they ended it compromising with the Jewish religion because Peter led them back. They went back to the temple carrying turtle dove.
20. If the whole thing was perfected in the beginning, God would not have sent Paul, God knew Jesus has been raising a ministry to the circumcision. Peter was given the ministry to the circumcised; Paul received a ministry to the uncircumcised.
21. Jesus was a minister of circumcision to confirm the promise that was made unto the fathers. Read your Bible. Maybe I will start afresh again. Amen.
22. THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION (2): THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION, WHO IS YOUR MASTERPIECE? EVEN IF I KEPT IT SECRET ALL THESE YEARS, I THINK BY NOW IT HAS BECOME PLAIN.
23. YOU DO NOT NEED ANYBODY TO COME AND TELL YOU BECAUSE I HAVE INSTRUCTED YOU ALL THESE YEARS, GUIDED YOU PERFECTLY WITH THE SCRIPTURES ALL THESE YEARS UNTIL I HAVE COME TO A POINT WHERE I HAVE PLACED YOU IN A RAPTURING CONDITION. YOU ARE ALL PLACED IN HEAVENLY DIGNITY.
24. UNTIL NOW, YOU WERE ALL LOST, TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE PROMISES. THEN YOU DESIREDTRANSLATION, THERE WAS NOTHING IN YOU THAT WILL MAKE YOU EASY TO BE LIFTED. NOTHING!
25. THE POWER OF TRANSLATION WAS NOT IN YOU. IMMORTALITY IS BEING BROUGHT INTO FOCUS BY THE PREACHING OF THIS GOSPEL.
26. Without the preaching of this Gospel, there is no way immortality can be brought into focus, because immortality on its own dwelleth in the greatest Elohim.
27. Note. The Great God; immortality dwelleth in Him. And it is being made manifest unto you by the preaching of the Gospel of the Apostle of your day. The Anointed One of your day.
28. It has been revealed. Before then, it was stored in a vessel, but you have believed. And as many as have believed in Him that is revealed in your day immortality is transferred into them.
29. This is because when you believe in Him, all His attributes of humankind will come to you. If He is immortal, you are immortal. Whatever He is, that is what you are. Then, you must pattern after somebody whether you like it or not.
30. I am coming nearer to the Message. Who is your masterpiece? This is the secret of translation. The moment you discover your masterpiece, happy are you.
31. Right inside the Church, I can see a situation where people are divided and that is why I do not want anybody to trouble this Onitsha Church. If you stay in your local set-ups, believe what you want to believe. That is your business.
32. I have preached uniform Messages to all the Churches. I do not have private interpretation to the Word of God. Any way you want to interpret it, it is your own business.
33. If you want to interpret it to your own destruction, go ahead. If you want to interpret it to the saving of your soul, go ahead.
34. However, all I know is that the heavens will bear Me witness that I never spoke to you in parables. I never used idioms and parables or proverbs in My preaching. I gave you plain Message.
35. I CAN SEE A SITUATION WHERE, INSIDE THE CHURCH, THERE ARE CASES IN THE CHURCH WHERE A PEOPLE WILL PATTERN AFTER ‘A’ ANOTHER GROUP WILL PATTERN AFTER ‘B’, AND ANOTHER GROUP WILL PATTERN AFTER ‘C’. YOU ARE RIGHT.
36. THAT IS, THE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE ONE PHILOSOPHY WILL NOW COME TOGETHER AND PATTERN AFTER ONE ANOTHER. PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PHILOSOPHY WILL MOVE TOGETHER.
37. Prophet Mohamed said so. The Bible said so. All Prophets of old said the same thing, even prophet Enoch.
38. THE OTHER SIDE, ANOTHER GROUP WITH ANOTHER PHILOSOPHY WILL MOVE TOGETHER. I HAVE SEEN IT ALREADY IN THE CAMP.
39. THAT IS WHY, THERE ARE SOME MINISTERS THAT WILL MOUNT THE PULPIT AND A LOT OF MEMBERS IN THE CHURCH WILL BEND DOWN. THEY WILL NEVER WRITE ANYTHING. THEY WILL NEVER SAY “AMEN” UNTIL SUCH MINISTER WILL COME DOWN SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THOSE MINISTERS.
40. IT IS HAPPENING IN MANY LOCAL CHURCHES. I KNOW THAT. THEN THE QUESTION ARISES; WHO ARE YOU PATTERNING AFTER?
41. Whether Paul is preaching or Apollos or Andrew, you should believe. It is the same spirit, the same Christ. I do not care who is preaching. Provided we are called into this same Vine yard, whoever that is there is under His Spirit and authority.
42. I know in some local churches, some Ministers are favoured, or more favoured than others. And these Ministers know their own way of dividing the flock. They know those they visit with their philosophy. They know those they will not visit.
43. BESIDES, AS THEY GO ABOUT HAVING SUCH EVIL VISITATIONS, HARDENING THEMSELVES IN UNBELIEF, THEY ARE THERE EXPECTING TRANSLATION, BUT IT IS NOT THAT WAY.
44. WE MUST ALL HAVE ONE CHARACTER AND ONE SPIRIT, BECAUSE BY ONE SPIRIT ARE WE ALL BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY.[1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV] AND IF WE HAVE ONE SPIRIT AND THE SPIRIT CONTROLS OUR CHARACTER, OUR CHARACTERS MUST BE ONE.
45. Ministers, take note! Whatever is your motive in the Faith, it is what you are going to reap in the end. Some people preach the Message with wrong motive.
46. Yes! A Minister can be in the pulpit, preach the right Message with a wrong motive. In other words, your Message is the Holy Ghost. It is true, but the motive is wrong.
47. YOU MUST PREACH THE RIGHT MESSAGE WITH THE RIGHT MOTIVE. I repeat: IT MUST BE THE RIGHT MESSAGE WITH THE RIGHT MOTIVE.
48. We do not fight one another in the pulpit. We do not try to make converts to ourselves, by coming to the pulpit to pamper people in unbelief so that they will love and cherish us. We do not do that.
49. We do not come to the pulpit to make friends. Friends are too far away from the pulpit. This is the reason why I said that all local churches must stay in their own set-ups. They know themselves and they understand themselves. In Jerusalem, you know yourselves and you can understand yourselves also. However in all, there is nobody that will be excused in the last day.
50. Believe it if you can, you are coming with one token, you are presenting only but one character.
51. Now, you are the one that will even sit down and study the character of all.
52. If Paul was a messenger sent to you and he was ministering here, and he was living here as a human being you are in a better position to know his character more than himself, more than he himself.
53. After all, he does not know his character. A man of God does not know his character. Jesus never knew his character. What he was doing was what the spirit was leading him to do, for he did nothing on his own.
54. But it is you that is commanded to pattern after him that will be on duty to make sure that you know his character.
55. You know Me, My manner of life, My doctrine and you have to use Me as your example. One; you must believe My doctrine. Two; you must pattern after Me in character, pattern after Me in every way.
56. If you say you believe Apostle Peter Odoemena, you have said a very nice thing. It is commendable.
57. But if you do not do what He has done, if you do not pattern after Him, you are a liar. If any man says he believes Christ, and he does not pattern his life after Christ, is he not a liar?
58. How many of you now can sit down and say, “God, thank you for giving us a perfect instructor and leader in our day, one we can look up to?” It is very easy to acknowledge the Deity around THE SON OF MAN. It is very easy to acknowledge the Message, even the revelation.
59. Now, how many of you have acknowledged that God has sent me to lead you home? How many of you have believed that I am THE SON OF MAN by revelation?
60. How many of you have believed that the Message I have given to you is truth from the very Bible? How many of you have believed this thing and said, “Thank you for my life and the life of my Brother, the Apostle are now one?” How many can say so?
61. The life of my brother, the apostle
62. What moves this man? What thrills Him, what and what He does, what and what He does not want to see. Why is this man claiming He is a broad-minded man?
63. My friend, I will send you away from there. You are confirming before everybody that you are always idling away your time at Awka.
64. For you to pattern after a man, you must walk closely to that man. If you do not walk closer to Christ THE SON OF MAN, you cannot study Him. Note, Jesus was a man.
65. Hebrews 2: 11. He who has been made holy by Jesus has the same father with him. That is why he is not ashamed to call them my brothers.
66. For he said in the book of psalms, I will talk to my brothers about my God, my father and together we will sing his praises.
67. At another time, he said, I will put my trust in God along with my brothers. At another time see, hear I and the children God gave me. hear…
68. Brother Ojiakor, you have got problem with your first son.
NOW, THE REVEALED CHRIST IN OUR MIDST IS OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE AND HE IS SAYING THAT IF WE SUFFER WITH HIM, WE WILL REIGN WITH HIM. HE IS OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE. HE SAID THAT THE SUFFERING OF THIS PRESENT TIME IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE GLORY THAT WE WILL RECEIVE WHEN WE SHALL LEAVE THIS PLACE. HE THAT HAS THIS KIND OF HOPE CAN NEVER BE SAD AND HE CAN NEVER DENY GOD.
BE READY TO ANSWER EVERY MAN THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU; preached on Sunday 15th January 1995 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 94 vs. 94

PATTERN AFTER YOUR MASTERPIECE
Philippians 2:1 – 9 Is there any such thing like children of God cheering each other up? Does it mean using knife to cut yourselves into pieces? Children of God cheering each other. Is there thing like that?
2. Do you know me enough to help me? Does it mean anything to you that we are your brothers in the Lord? Does it mean anything to you that we are your Brothers and Sisters in the Lord and members of one family? Sharing the same spirit. LB.
3. Sharing what? The same spirit not two spirits, not three spirits. That is; this one walking to the right, another one walking to the left and waiting for translation.
4. THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION LIES IN PATTERNING AFTER THE MASTER PIECE OF YOUR DAY. God is going to judge you with masterpiece He placed before you.
5. A man will only accept his building from the contractor if the building is in line with the building plan. Anything short of the building plan, the owner of the building will query it.
6. There is a building plan before all of you. This Message did not come downfrom the moon. It did not just come and then was moving anyhow. No. A foundation was created before your very eyes you saw the whole thing set off.
7. Furthermore, since that day till this very hour, it has never been discouraged. He has never fainted, he has never looked at anybody’s face.
8. He has been in His business until this very hour. And that building plan is before your very eyes everyday so you are without excuse. To whom much is given, much is being expected.
9. One thing is to believe THE SON OF MAN to be a man sent by God, another thing is to practice his life style. Understand His life style and make it your own life style. It is a must. M.U.S.T.
10. It is? A must.
11. Nothing short of, nothing above.. if you say well I do not like this brother the way he behaves. I do not like this person the way he behaves. Find out whether it is the character of THE SON OF MAN that is bad in your brother. Why not call your brother and talk to him?
12. Is there anybody in this Faith that has erred and THE SON OF MAN respected him without calling him face to face even from the very beginning?
13. Maybe because He has mouth. What is that thing that is offending you in your brother, in your sister? But you said you are a child of God.
14. What did the Bible say you should do?Even though you do not know what to do, why not pattern after THE SON OF MAN?
15. Have you heard that THE SON OF MAN hated you without calling you? After warning you two or three times and you do not want to repent, I will either excommunicate you or refrain from you.
16. The Bible said you should mark them that walk disorderly and avoid them. You can be in the church and I will be avoiding you. It is scriptural.
17. However, I cannot avoid you without first of all placing the card before you. I will call you and show you where you have erred. I will make effort to correct you.
18. if I notice you have become incorrigible, I will withdraw myself from you. It is scriptural. But if I notice yourpresence in the church and it is provocative to the things of this family, I will put you out of the fellowship lest you infect the camp.
19. You cannot withdraw from a brother, you cannot withdraw from a sister. The rule is that you must talk to him or her.That is perfect love.
20. If there is love in you and your sister is walking disorderly and you are feeling offended within yourself, you cannot call sister and say, sister please come and see me and you talk to her. If you said you have love of Christ and you cannot do it, put a question mark on that your character.
21. It is the love of devil. There is no truth in that love. I call it Cain’s love. I call it Cain’s love. No man knows his error. If you call your brother, you call your sister, talk to the person and the person hates you, take it easy. It is scriptural.
22. When you talk to a fool, he will hate you. Label that person a fool. The bible said; do not make the mistake of correcting a fool for he will hate you. If you know you are not harbouring anything against your brother, against your sisterand the person had walked disorderly and you and you know he is wrong then you call the person and he is stubborn, go your way for you have washed off your hand. Regard the person as a fool.
23. The Bible said that a wise man always wants to be told where he is wrong but afoolish person advertises his stupidity by rejecting the counsel of God. Advice a fool and he will hate you, correct a fool and he will avoid you.
24. However if you correct a wise man he will love you more. The same way, correcta wise woman and she will love you more. I AM GIVING YOU THE INDICATORS OF TRANSLATION SO THAT SATAN WILL NOT HOLD YOU SOMEWHERE.
25. You can be in the church and yet there are brothers and sisters you are avoiding. God will hold you guilty if you did not go to them first to correct them, to point out their wrong. You will say sister is wrong . 1999!
26. 20 years ago!
27. You can be in the church and yet there are brothers and sisters you are avoiding. God will hold you guilty if you do not go to them first to correct them, to point out their wrong. You will say that sister is wrong for that you withdraw, you are guilty.
28. What effort have you made to correct the sister? What efforts have made to correct the brother? Going from place to place discussing the brother is adding salt to injury. You are worsening your evil.
29. Your situation is getting worse everyday. You do not even discuss it with anybody until you have gone to the sister. When you go to the sister talk to her and if she is stubborn, you can go to your pastor or anybody and report the person, then withdraw. Do not go further.
30. When it gets to the hand of THE SON OF MAN, surely I will declare the person a publican even without sending two, three person to go there three or four times. I do not want to have you harden in unbelief when you think I will be sending people to come and beg you to come and serve God. No. I will not beg you. I will speak to you. The next time, I will avoid you, for God will not always chide.
31. Are your hands tender and sympathetic at all? All these things we are seeing written in the Holy scripture; please place THE SON OF MAN, the masterpiece before you, when you are reading. Watch him. From your experiences with Him, judge Him from what you are reading. Then we will be made fully happy by loving each other.
32. You see where the Apostle is made truly happy? You see where the Apostle is made truly happy? When the Apostle will see you loving each other, He will be very happy. Nothing gives Me joy than when I see my children obeying the gospel. Nothing gives me joy than when I see my children obeying the gospel.
33. When I see you making the gospel alive in your midst, you see Me, I am in my highest form. I become the greatest preacher in the world because I am seeing the doctrine being made manifest in the midst of the brethren. If you want to make me happy, you want me to love you, please let me see you loving one another. Let me see love reigning in you midst, in your homes, in your work places.
34. Let me see you at peace with one another, at peace with the Holy Spirit, then you will see the spirit in Me rejoicing exceedingly.
35. And by this you will know who I am. Did I say you should bring me money? Bring me cow? Build skyscraper for me? No, for they are useless nonsense. Who wants Me to be with him or her? I am always happy.
36. This is one thing that is expected of you. Then, make me truly happy by loving each other and agree wholeheartedly with each other. Agree whole heartedly with each other not but, not playing smartness and craftiness which you have been playing all these years, which never helped any of you.
37. When you come before yourselves, you play smartness. Even when you are filled up with wrath, you try to put a false smile. Even when you are asking questions, you are setting a trap. You have already known the answer before coming. Besides, if you receive a contrary answer, the person has committed crime.
38. It then means translation is not for you. Is it the life style of THE SON OF MAN? Has He at any day summoned any of you with hypocrisy, presenting a question which he has the answer and setting a trap for you? I have been plain to all of you all these years.
39. What I hate, I will tell you. What I love, I will equally tell you. If you do good, I will commend you. If you do evil, I will rebuke you. I have never comforted any of you in this faith in evil. I have never seen you doing something wrong and I will come here to mark you good.
40. I have never done that. Even when you are showering your gifts on me, it is that time you receive the highest indictment. Your gift is useless nonsense until you pattern after Me. The highest you give Me is love. I am one that loves giving a human being his flower while he is alive.
41. I do not believe in giving you your flower when you die. When a man dies, somebody carries a gift of flowers to that person’s grave, that is useless nonsense. That is why I keep on telling My brethren living around that I do not avoid somebody in vain. Even all of you in this faith as many as I am avoiding, they know why I am avoiding them.
42. There is not even one that can hold me guilty that I have never warned him or her even from the sacred pulpit. However, when I noticed that they have decided never to change, I made up my mind to allow them to go the way they want to, to give peace a chance.
43. To give peace a chance! Is that the way you want it?
44. Keeping a strict watch in the congregation, so that if I notice any sign of infestation in the camp, I will put you out of the body.
45. Thank you! Keeping a strict watch in the congregation to make sure that the evil person that is granted his or her will, will not influence others to go that way.
46. Keeping a strict watch in the congregation so that if I notice any sign of infestation in the camp, I will put you out of the body because a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
47. I allow you in the church for sometime, firstly because I know the danger of putting you out. Secondly, I know you cannot be better outside. Outside,you are feeding from the Devil’s fountain. But when you are inside hearing and seeing, you can begin to pattern after our doctrine.
48. You see, there is a way a goat can stay with the sheep for too long and thatgoatwill be patterning after the sheep but in the end, a goat will be a goat. Let me hold my peace there. Let nobody strangle Me after this Message.
49. Remember the Message the secret of translation; who is your master piece?
AND THEN WISDOM SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE ELECT, AND THEY SHALL ALL LIVE AND NEVER AGAIN SIN, EITHER THROUGH FORGETFULNESS OR THROUGH PRIDE: BUT THOSE WHO ARE GIVEN WISDOM SHALL BE HUMBLE.
ETHIOPIC BOOK OF ENOCH chapter 5 verse 9
3
BE CLOTHED WITH HUMILITY
Be clothed with humility. Then they made Him truly happy by loving each other and agree whole heartedly with each other, working together with one heart.
2. Note, walking together with what? One heart everybody. This is not meant to be read only, this thing must be manifested.
3. If you check from the very beginning, I taught you of the unity of the body. I taught you of the unity of the brethren, the oneness of the church.
4. Check church administration from the very beginning; how should work together in unity and in love. You must walk together as one.
5. Walking together with what? One heart and mind and purpose. Do not be selfish. Do not be? Selfish! Selfishness is a disease.
6. Now, who is a selfish person? It is one that thinks of himself alone. A selfish person says “once it is okay with me, the rest can perish”. You only know yourself alone.
7. You only know your family alone. You do not care even if other families are perishing. If they are perishing, it is not your business. It is not what I have taught you.
8. It is not the Message I have taught you. Do not be selfish. Do not live to make good impression on others; be humble, thinking of others asbetter than yourself.
9. Do not just think about your own affair but be interested in others too; in what they are doing. Your attitude should be the kind that was shown us by Jesus Christ who though was God did not denounce and keep to his right side but laid aside His mighty power and glory, taking the disguise of a slave and becoming like men. LB.
10. He said that let your attitude be that of Christ who although He had the authority as the creator of the heaven and the earth, humbled Himselfdown, and took a position of a slave, took a position of a servant and was being tossed to and fro .
11. I am not trying to exalt myself, but I believe I have even the right to boast a little.
12. I am saying that many of you in this faith know very well that if you were privileged to find yourself even in My position in the church, nobody dares come to your gate. To see you will very difficult, you will be another tin-god. Do not doubt it.
13. The way you are letting yourself out to your brethren even when you are nothing will tell you how you would have exalted yourself if you were something.
14. Humility is scriptural if it is practiced by another person but humility should be our attribute. It should be our character for it is our doctrine.
15. Many of you would have even arrogated to themselves the position of the Head of State. Even Head of State would have been better; for some will even find it difficult to open their doors to talk to brethren. They would even talk to them from the window, if at all they will come out.
16. Some will even confine themselves in the bedroom and pretend that they are studying just for them to avoid the troubles of Brethren.
17. How many of you can afford to leave their doors open to welcome even the least in our midst? I mean infants that come from your homes. Even for no other thing, they are coming to say hello to brotheror sister.
18. I know some of them that come to Me. They do not come to do any service. They just come and embrace Me in the house.
19. They join my children after which they will go. Many of you come in and seesome of them. You will be afraid lest they spoil your seats, spoil your carpet or rug and, may be finish your food, or if they come today and come next time, they are no longer coming forfellowship. It is for food alone.
20. Even if they come for food, he that is filled will rest. Is there anybody with four stomachs?
21. HOW ACCESSIBLE ARE YOU TO OTHERS? What am I saying? Translation has narrowed down. Besides, I told you that this is the greatest stumbling block we are going to cross. The last hurdle we aregoing to jump is love and nothing is found in paradise except perfect love.
22. The last in the pyramid; very narrow.
23. Many of you are afraid of one another. Many of you in this faith cannot abandon brethren in yourhouse and go away. Say brother, excuse me, I want to go somewhere.
24. Many of you can hardly do it and allow brethren to be there. When they want to go, they will go. Some of you will even drive brethrenout; “I am going out, come out let me lock the door”.
25. As if, if brother locks the door for you, it becomes a crime. If I leave brother in my house, he knows that he has become my watch-man that day. He is obligated to remain there until Icome back or he will hand over to another brother who will come.
26. I thank God that Sister Esther is in the church. Some other sisters that live with Me can bear Me witness that there was no day even till now I have even left my room or my house to anywhere with my wife and locked the rooms; from the bedroom to everywhere, they are all open.
27. All of them have access to everywhere, all of them including maid servants. I thank God I have sisters who are now mothers who lived with Me.
28. They can testify against Me if I am telling lies. Thank God they are married to ministers.
29. I am not saying you should praise Me for that but I am trying to show you what it takes to live a godly life without fearing your sister, without fearing your brother. Many of you find it difficult to use one cup to drink with your brethren.
30. Many of you find it difficult to use one cup to drink with your brethren.At times, I entertain some brothers in my house when they will bring a bottle of wine or even palm wine.
31. And we may be up to four or five. They will see me bringing one cup. I have a lot of tumblers there and before their very eyes, Iwill say brother, one more drink now then, I will take the same cup and drink, then pass it to another brother.
32. Some of them because of the way they were brought up, they will try to show that reverence. You see, they will even claim they do not want the wine again because they do not want to share the cup with Me. But I do not see it as anything.
33. If we could not discriminate inthe communion, every Tom, Dick and Harry will come there. What is there then? I think there is joy there.
34. Even among the heathens, some communities are even happy with one cup. You drink and you pass on to another.
35. If you say by doing so I will transmit disease; if God will permit the disease, let Him permit it. I do not care.
36. Such unnecessary ‘bigmanism’ should be dropped. Such unnecessary ‘bigmanism’ which people inherited as a culture from their fathers should be dropped. Without it, you can never be in this faith. You cannot see yourself in this faith.
37. I do not care about your position whether doctor or engineer, whether general manager, whether cleaner, whether messenger, I do not care. You are all human beings. You are all human beings that are subject to death.
38. I do not want to know your position, it does not mean anything before God. General managers go to hell, managing directors go to hell, Head of States, presidents go to hell, Cleaners and messengers; they all go to hell.
39. However, as many of you in this faith who strive to use your positions to try to make yourself to be proud, you think you are above certain brethren and there are classes that can come to you.
40. There are classes that will not come toyou. When you do so you are committing sin against the Church. You are committing sin against God.
41. The Message I preach to you is the Message on equality of brethren. “The secret of translation”. We are still considering the Message; The secret of translation. The Message was preached19th December, 1999.
42. This is the expo! We read in volume two. Volume two called it expo; that He does not want us to do random revision. He narrowed us to a particular area.
43. The Message I preached to you is the Message on equality of brethren. Can you be higher that Christ? But He became a slave so that He might be exalted in due time. The time for our exaltation is coming; very soon we shall be crowned.
44. How accessible are you to others? How free are brethren to you? How oftencan they come, confide in you and tell exactly how they are?
45. This is because if you are not accessible they cannot share their experiences with you even if they are dying. More especially, if you are the type that normally show ‘I don’t care’attitude.
46. You that say, it does not concern me. What is my own business there? You know yourself. Brethren will be running away from you because there is no sign of sympathy.
47. You do not even share in their troubles. So, coming to you to tell you even this, is increasing their sorrows. Because the treatment they will receive from you will add to their sorrows.
48. There is no bowel of mercy. There is no bowel of mercy. Amen.
49. “Who is your masterpiece? Part two. Who is your masterpiece? To what extent were you troubled and came to Me and I did not comfort you?
50. What and what were your problems that you brought to Me and I did not pay attention, I did not show interest by day or by night? Were you weeping and I was laughing?
51. However, there are some of you whoare expecting translation, who have not even started knowing the way. Talk of knowing the Message, you have known the Message. Talk of being in the church; you are in the church.
52. Acknowledged He whom He has sent, you have done that with all yourheart you believe Him. You believe what He is saying is true. You believe He is not making a false claim. But patterning after him? zero.
53. We should be sober from now. Ministers pass this Message across to your various local churches. There are some in your local churches who do not recognize any other minister but THE SON OF MAN.
54. Every other minister is ministering nonsense. Unless THE SON OF MAN speaks, they will not obey. Besides, to their utter shame THE SON OF MAN cannot speak contrary to what they are hearing.
55. Some do not even believe in the vessels that are ordained and sent to them, even when they hear the truth. To show that they not believe, they will travel down to Onitsha to tell Me what was preached as a sign that they did not believe, and to their shame they will either see me writing an epistle or a letter or even writing, confirming the Message to be true
56. There is no contradiction in this Message. As long as you are still with the Holy Spirit and you are in line of duty, Holy Ghost will help you to speak the mind of God whether they believe it or not.
57. We do not aim at making a good impression of ourselves towards people. Do not call me a good man. I do not want to be a good man for only God is good.
58. Call me God’s servant, your brother or call me the worst man on earth. The most wicked of all men, of all creature and I will appreciate it. Do not sing My praises andperish.
59. You can show signs of repentance and then God will help you so that I will know exactly where you are standing.
60. We are yet to wake up from the sleep. If we are not careful, if we are careful, only very few in this faith will be with Me inparadise.
61. Just very little for they are in the minority. It has not been a revelation to many.
62. There are people that are even astonished seeing it in this Message evenwhen they have already heard the Message preached by Bishop Okey Paul many many months ago titled “Look unto Abraham your father and Sarah your mother which they fought against.
63. Many of them ganged up against that Message. What am I saying in this Message? Is itnot in line with My other Messages? Is it contrary? No.
64. I am trying to help you that this thing has not been a revelation to many. Somejust stay in their houses and say; well, all I know is that I believe, all I know is that I am doubting nothing.
65. I am not accusing you of not believing, I am not accusing you of doubting but I am accusing you of patterning after unbelief. You can believe the truth and pattern after unbelief.
66. The bible said that we should have one mind, joined together whole heartedly in one heart, having the same purpose, staying together cheering one another in love; no schism, no division, no back-biting, no gossip, no murmuring, that is the church without spot or wrinkle He bought under the blood of Christ.
67. When you notice you are not in this faith because you merited it or worked for it,the same way your brethren are not in this faith because they merited it or they worked for it.
68. You all received the same privilege of being under His grace, being called, chosen selected by THE SON OF MAN, they will even help you to relate with one another.
69. This revelation will help you to relate with one another. When I remember the way I am saved, I show sympathy to the people even outside.
70. This is why I do not even wait until they repent except those that will rebel against the authority. I will try to see the end to know what will be the end of their rebellion.
71. However, if you are put outside and you are sober, you are quiet; everyday you try to make peace with the body and with the spirit of God in our midst, one day, God will remember you.
72. But when you go out, open your mouth wide to challenge and backbite, to gossip and to blaspheme, well, I will give you sufficient room because surely I will know where you are standing before making such statements.
73. Glory be to God. A word is a enough for the wise. THE SECRET OF TRANSLATION LIES IN PATTERNING AFTER THE MASTER PIECE.
I AM THE GOD OF THE AGES, THE HOLY AND GREAT ONE, THE ALL POWERFUL, THE ALL KNOWING CREATOR, THE ALL WISE, THE GOD OF GODS, THE HIDDEN REVEALER. Believe it if you can……
BE READY TO ANSWER EVERY MAN THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU; Preached on Sunday 15th January, 1995 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 3

TORCHLIGHT IN THE DARK PLACES OF OUR HOMES
Before I come with print out, it is my desire to read few things from here and I want to bring here, our brother Paulson. Why not answer Paul? Your father is Paul, you are Paulson.
2. Tomorrow it will be Polycarp. What is the difference between Paul and Paulson? Okay, Paul’s son. Okay. Paulson, this is the Message. I want you to read the first part of it.
3. Pay attention, I am giving you expo. This first part is titled “TORCHLIGHT IN THE DARK PLACES OF YOUR HOMES.” “TORCHLIGHT IN THE DARK PLACES OF YOUR HOMES.” You can narrow it to your own home. You can throw it away. It was handled on Sunday 10th March, 2019.
4. If you are wise and understanding, you can make your own tape using your android phone and whatever you can lay hand on. I am not here with a strange Message. No.
5. I am here with a strict mission which will name itself at the end. Bro Chizoba, you will stand by My side because there are certain things I will like you to read. I want you to read pages 74 and 75.
6. Read from there. The marked areas only. What is the title of the Message? EXAMINE YOUR FAMILY LIFE.
7. It was preachedabout the year 2008. I handled it the same year I handled WHEN THE SPARKS FLY IN YOUR MARITAL RELATIONSHIP.
8. When I enter any family, I am looking for the bride and the bridegroom, finish. The children will come after. How healthy is that relationship?
9. Pay attention. Expo is still going on; for the relationship that should exist between Christ and the Church is the relationship that should exist between husband and wife.
10. For which cause today, this torchlight should be a memorial sermon, to say well done to Elder Ubani and his wife, our mother Ubani for staying healthy and celebrated fifty years’ anniversary of their marriage.
11. Give Me the calendar there! I have the video. I have the calendar. They are not merely celebrating. They are celebrating everything in Christ. That is what gives Me the greatest joy. Yes.
12. Fifty years of unbroken union with grand-children, great grand-children. All of them alive. Our elder is standing up there. I can see the wife also. I saw the wife walk in with her legs. Fifty years. Golden jubilee. No noise making.
13. I am happy it is happening here amidst witnesses. So you can never say it is impossible. If this can happen, then paradise is a reality.
14. I say, paradise is a reality. And I told you, any marriage that is ordained by God can never break up, come what may. Sit down. Pay attention everybody.
15. Can there be a healthy relationship when the value of one is grossly underrated?
16. Start all over. Page 75 verse 4 “When I enter any family, I am looking for the bride and the bridegroom, finish.
17. I am looking for the husband and wife. Finish. The children will come after. It takes a husband and a wife to build a home.
18. Remember what I told you before; that too many people are in a haste to raise families but no little attention is given to building homes.
19. You can have a family without having a home. But you can never have a home without a family. Many have families but they have no homes.
20. That is why I am rejoicing over the celebration, that our Elder has presented a perfect example of a union that has passed through all the odds of life and remained unbroken serving the Lord with zeal.
21. The joy with which they walked into this place this morning, I mean, was radiating on their faces. I know why, because Elder Ubani’s wife passed on but God said ‘no’ and brought her back from the dead to the land of the living with a prophecy; Sir, panic not, relax, you will live to celebrate it and I will be there.
22. A night preceding that day, he said, I am making no other request, only one thing; it is going to be glorious according to my own desire but please, withhold the rain. May it never disturb. I said, any other request? He said no.
23. By 6:30 I called Pastor Chinemezu. Did it rain at Aba? He said, no. That was last week. I am really very glad. Brother read that Message. Expo!
24. When I enter any family, I am looking for the bride and the bridegroom, finish. The children will come after. How healthy is that relationship?
25. How healthy is your relationship with your wife? Is it so strong, so healthy, so loving that at fifty years, your wife will not fade away, your husband will not fade away? You will be proud to move on the way holding your hands like we saw Elder Ubani and the wife today.
26. Looking at that picture, the interpretation is there. For the manifestation of everything is the interpretation thereof.
27. Can there be a healthy relationship when the value of one is grossly underrated?
28. I say, when the value of one – the value of your partner whether man or woman is grossly underrated, can there be a healthy relationship?
29. You underrate your wife; you underrate your husband. Some even subject their wives to the state of slaves. they have no say.
30. WHEN THE SPARKS FLY IN YOUR MARITAL RELATIONSHIP EXPLAINED preached on 1st June 2008 by THE SON OF MAN. Nugget “I am the Devil nobody can avoid. The same way, I am the God nobody can avoid. Believe it if you can.”The quote is credited to THE SON OF MAN.
31. MARRIAGE IS NOT A BED OF ROSES. And it is not based on finding the perfect woman but on being the perfect man. Marriage is not based on finding or looking for a perfect wife but on being the perfect man.
32. Go to the Message titled ‘COPING WITH THE IMPERFECT PERSON’.
33. Onyema! No more noise. Why not talk again since you are the perfect one? You should cope with the imperfect one but how perfect are you? Amen.
34. Your love is not measured by loving the perfect woman perfectly but by loving the imperfect woman perfectly. My friend, it is like you are waving it. The way you are gazing at the curtain does not show Me that you are with us. I say it. Look at my eyes.
35. Love in marriage is not based on loving the perfect woman perfectly but on loving the imperfect woman perfectly. It is not based on loving the imperfect man imperfectly but you must love the imperfect man perfectly.
36. MARRIAGE IS NOT A BED OF ROSES. Marriage can only be a pleasurable journey through life if the couple are well informed.
37. If the couple are well informed, marriage will be a pleasurable journey through life. But where they are ill-informed, they are not well informed, already they are deformed. Problem has already started, a vacuum has been created.
38. Chapter 1: MARRIAGE IS A MINISTRY. Brethren, remain blessed. Please, there should be real quietness in the camp.
39. Our problem is that each time the Word of God is preached, we find it difficult to personalize what we hear. We try to shift the Message to some people as if all is well with us.
40. And the people that are really guilty, that need to be pitied, families whose conditions were x-rayed and diagnosed, they are the very people that normally shift these Messages to somebody else. True or false?
41. At the end of it all, you will go home with your problems unsolved.
42. To the youths, you do not know where you are yet, but very soon you will begin to recognize where you are.
43. There must be a destination in life. Life must take you somewhere and when you get there, you will know you have arrived there, whether you like it or not.
44. Many a time, I come here and wed couples before innumerable witnesses. I wed couples before many witnesses. I have never for one day seen them nagging in My presence. Have you seen them?
45. On the altar for weeding, husband and wife ranting and nagging or quarrelling. During their wedding, you simply look at their faces, you see smiles. Everybody jubilating. Witnesses jubilating.
46. But one, two, three, four years from there, you begin to look at the people you joined in wedlock with their faces beaming with smiles. You cannot imagine what their faces look like anymore.
47. Remember, we are in prophetic ministry. We are children of the prophets. When God speaks, the Word goes out of His mouth in righteousness.
48. It can never come back to Him void. It must fulfil the purpose of which God sent out that Word.
49. Check your marriage, check your wedding day, the smile on your faces as couples that heralded your union as husband and wife.
50. The smile on your faces as a couple that heralded your union as husband and wife; are those smiling faces still there? I am asking a pertinent question. A direct question. There is nobody here who is ignorant of who he is.
51. THE SMILE THAT WAS ON YOUR FACES THE DAY YOU WEDDED [YOU AND YOUR WIFE] WITH THE NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT YOU GATHERED, WHERE IS IT TODAY? WHO REMOVED IT?
52. THAT SMILE, THAT LAUGHTER, IS IT STILL THERE TODAY? WHERE DID IT GO? WHERE DID IT VANISH TO?
53. ANY DAY IT VANISHES; IF YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THE DAY, THE WEEK, THE MONTH, THE YEAR, THAT WAS THE DAY THE MARRIAGE ENDED.
54. Period! I say, period! Any day the first love in marriage vanishes, the marriage ended that day. It does not mean putting each other away.
55. You are living together as mere human association, not husband and wife. The wine is completely finished and there is nothing you can do there anymore.
56. ANY DAY IT VANISHES IF YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THE DAY, THE WEEK, THE MONTH, THE YEAR, THAT WAS THE DAY THE MARRIAGE ENDED.
57. True or false? True or false? Experience, they say is the best teacher.
58. THAT WAS THE END OF EVERYTHING CALLED MARRIAGE. WHATEVER THAT IS LEFT BEHIND IS JUST A UNION OF A MAN AND WOMAN, NOT HUSBAND AND WIFE.
59. They may be having children, mad people have children, heathens have children. I want you to understand that they are publicans in the sight of God.
60. They are what? Publicans.
61. I want you to understand that they are publicans in the sight of God.
62. Expo! God is showing you the area. He can never by pass it because that is the connection between Christ and this body that is about to be translated.
63. This is the body that will be presented as chaste virgin, without spot, wrinkle or blemish but must be thoroughly bound together in love. Expo.
64. I want you to understand that they are publicans in the sight of God and their children from that day are publicans because they have abandoned the path way of truth.
65. They have followed the evil way of the wicked. So, they will raise a family of wickedness. And from that day, watch; the centre can no longer hold. That is why I told you.
66. Elder Ubani, can you now begin to see where your problem started? If you had known this truth before raising children, you would have been smiling now.
67. You are smiling that you have a wife who has believed your faith but your children are not giving you what you are anticipating. True or false? True sir! Thank you.
AS THE BLACKSMITH USES FIRE, HOT FIRE, TO REFINE GOLD, SO THE SON OF MAN USES THE FIRE THAT PROCEEDS FROM HIS MOUTH TO REFINE GOD’S JEWELS. THUS YOU ARE AMONG THE JEWELS OF THE EARTH IF YOU ARE NUMBERED AMONG THOSE THAT SUBMITTED, THAT COOPERATED AND COLLABORATED WITH THE SON OF MAN’S REFINING MESSAGES.
COPING WITH A REBELLIOUS CHILD (EXPLAINED) VOL 1; Preached on Sunday 7th May, 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 92 vs. 38 – 39

YOU MUST CROSS THE LAST HURDLE
From the very word go, I made every Tom, Dick and Harry to know that this faith is not a literary faith, it is purely empirical. Any day you begin to look at it from the theory angle, you will fumble. Everything about this faith is purely practical, that can be easily demonstrated.
2. And I made it clear to all and sundry; if there be any aspect of this faith that you find difficult to obey, if I can wreck up somebody past or present that obeyed it with ease, you have no more excuse. More so, when I am a living human being like you. Any moment from now my marriage will clock 32 years and I give God the praise.
3. We are still marching on. When you say, grace of God, grace of God, that is; if you can allow the grace of God to have his way. For the grace of God has been revealed teaching us to avoid everything godlessness and to live righteously in peace with everybody in this present world.
4. Grace of God did not say we should come here and kill ourselves and then destroy things that are meant for our own peace with our hands; set our homes or families ablaze all in the name of grace. Who introduced that grace?
5. I AM THE GRACE OF GOD; FOR THE LAW CAME BY MOSES, GRACE AND TRUTH CAME BY CHRIST. FINISH.
6. I AM HERE. I AM THE END OF THE LAW. I AM THE END OF THE PROPHETS; FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS NOW TO BE IMPUTED TO PEOPLE THAT WILL BELIEVE THE REVEALED FAITH OF CHRIST.
7. This is the time when the righteous shall live by faith. Living by faith means to be identified in the light of their belief.
8. Go to the book of Enoch. We will know you. We will identify you not with your face, not with your dress, not with your preaching but in the light of your character which is a reflection of your belief.
9. The last hurdle where we are now and we will not stay long there. Look at it. Look at it. You cannot come here until this one is settled.
10. WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT? IT IS THE CONCENTRATION OF THE WORD OF GOD IN YOU. WHEN THE WORD OF GOD IS DWELLING IN YOU RICHLY IN ALLWISDOM, IT WILL HELP YOU TO BEGIN TO DISCERN THAT WHICH IS PROPER, THAT WHICH IS GOOD, THAT WHICH IS NOBLE, THAT WHICH IS THE ACCEPTABLE WILL OF GOD.
11. Because everything shall be weighed by the Word. Once the Word does not condemn that thing, you step up. That is the pyramid, very narrow.
12. You see faith, this is bride of Christ, how wide it is. The higher you go, the narrower it becomes. How many people are patient with each other now? How many people know anything called godliness? What can we say about brotherly affection which is Laodicea, William Branham?
13. Whether you like it or not, you must pass through these seven steps then, this is where you are landing. Nothing is found in paradise but perfect love, that is why he said; go, show love one to another. By so doing, people will know that you are My disciples indeed.
14. It does not require much preaching. That is why I am giving you the key areas. You cannot measure your love where there is no condition where love is needed. God must create a condition where love is needed, where patience is needed, where temperance is needed; where knowledge is needed, where brotherly kindness is needed. God must create the condition.
15. And remember, you cannot fail year one and then go over to year two in any school. Sometimes, the level of failure may be fail and fail out. So if you fail in number one and you are carrying along with us, you are wasting your time. You must go and remedy your carry over.
16. Now we have come to the end. We are expecting our graduation day. The final examination comes and you have been failing in all these.
17. THE SON OF MAN is saying, go to your H.O.D. Your H.O.D may be your pastor, your ministers, re-register all. I say, re-register all, for you must remedy all otherwise, no graduation. Amen.
18. That is why I have told you if you can go back to the Message titled “Marriage and divorce” Marriage takes place in the heart. Divorce takes place in the heart.
19. Marriage takes place where? In the heart. You can be dressing gorgeously along the way with your wife, carrying expensive vehicles, sitting on celebrated high places in every ceremony with your wife (so-called) when you know that you are no longer married to her and she knows very well that you are just using her as a mere covering, lest people will begin to ask you whether it is not yet time for you to marry?
20. You might be parading her as my woman not my wife, introducing her, “see my woman” not my wife. My woman cannot be my wife. My wife cannot be my woman. They are two different things.
21. A lady is not a wife. A wife is not a lady. You know one thing with a lady, a lady is not a wife and is not a girl, is not a woman. A lady is higher than a woman, higher than a wife, higher than a girl. Amen.
22. I do not know the organization that gave them a tag “Dame.” Dame! Dame! Dame! I do not know whether they call it “Demo” or “Darmey” I do not know what it stands for. It is a lady that is above marriage. If they marry, they prefer ‘married but alone’.
23. “DAME!” Married but alone. And they can marry more than thirty times. They are never satisfied with one man in marriage. They marry, put away and marry another one.
24. Some place advert in the internet soliciting for marriage or a man’s hand in marriage. Foolish men will even be applying. Is it not true?
25. You that have your network connection, don’t you see many of them there? That should be as old as your grandmother soliciting men’s hand in marriage, promising them everything if only they can subscribe. Invitation to tender. Amen.
26. This is the expo, whether you like it or not. Whether you like it or not, I am the One.
