IT IS EASIER TO DISCONNECT FROM GOD (THE GOD HEAD) THAN TO CONNECT BACK TO GOD. (PLEASE LET US ALL BE VERY CAREFUL AND WATCHOUT) 28th October 2020 By: Deacon Mathew Iyobhebhe Lagos House Hold WHY DON’T WE SIT DOWN AND RE-THINK? 27th September 2020 By Bishop Elijah Gaiya Household of God at Nasarawa LETTER TO APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN 17th October 2020 BY Bishop Obadiah Oshimiri ABA, ABIA STATE.
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.

IT IS EASIER TO DISCONNECT FROM GOD (1)
I want to use this great and wonderful opportunity God has given to me to be alive till this very day to salute my entire Brethren worldwide, the elect of God that made up the Bridal Faith.
For the greatest gift is the gift of life. This is because you must first of all be alive before you can think of tomorrow, you must be alive before you can think of building a mansion or buying a car or having other good ambitions of becoming one thing or another.
But it is better to be alive in the spirit than for one to think he is alive when he or she is not really alive.
God wants us to be alive spiritually and physically. This is the true life. And it is only those who know the truth of this life that will forever appreciate it. Because one that does not know the value of a gift can even throw it to the dog.
We really have to be forever grateful to Almighty God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, who has decided to come down as a human being not counting it robbery, to give us this very life.
If the life any man is enjoying is not this life of Christ, that man or woman is just only existing here on earth. For Christ is the only giver of true life and life eternal. Amen.
This is the reason why we must all have the Faith of Christ our Lord whom we know very well. For I am not referring to the Christ that was nailed on the cross, but the resurrected Christ who is the very Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, Blessed be His most holy name, who is the very perfect example before the entire Bride.
He is never these worldly self acclaimed men and women of God, who will only tell their followers to do what they say but not what they do. To tell you that they know they are fully and completely in error.
This is the Lord that also enjoined us to make sure we also lay a perfect example before our families. That the world may see nothing but Christ in our families.
Let us see what the Holy Scripture tells us in the Book of Galatians 3: 6 – 9
6 Abraham had the same experience – God declared him fit for heaven only because he believed God’s promises. 7 You can see from this that the real children of Abraham are all the men of faith who truly trust in God. 8, 9 What’s more, the scriptures looked forward to this time when God would save the Gentiles also, through their faith. God told Abraham about this long ago when he said, “I will bless those in every nation who trust in me as you do.” And so it is all who trust in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received.
God made us to understand here that in every nation, in every family, every individual who put their trust in God, who put their trust in Christ, now share the same blessing with Abraham.
16 Now God gave some promises to Abraham and his child. And notice that it does not say the promises were to his children, as it would if all his sons – all the Jews – were being spoken of, but to his child – and that of course, means Christ. 17 Here’s what I am trying to say: God’s promise to save through faith – and God wrote the promise down and signed it – could not be cancelled or changed four hundred and thirty years later when God gave the Ten Commandments. 18 If obeying those laws could save us, then it is obvious that this would be a different way of gaining God’s favor than Abraham’s way, for he simply accepted God’s promise. Galatians 3: 16 – 18.LB
Now, what if you are here and you are not depending on the faith of Christ, not holding on to Him and on Him alone.
We all quote Abraham and other people who obeyed God holistically in the Holy Scripture. Is it a crime if I am equally numbered among those obeying Him in all things? Is it a crime if we are all numbered among them? Is it not the God they worshipped that we are privileged to worship today?
This is what has separated many from God today. This is where many detached from the God Head. And it is easier to DISCONNECT FROM GOD THAN TO CONNECT BACK TO GOD. This is why we all have to be very careful and be watchful at all times.
Any little disobedience to God can make you to separate from God and from His protection.
Another thing that is causing this separation is that many of us are just still milling around the Son of Man without knowing who He truly is. Many are just coming for base gain just like in the days of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
When many were following him just because he was performing different miracles and was feeding them whenever they were hungry. But only a few were coming because of the Word of life and were ready to obey him in all things.
Over familiarity has killed many; they forget that He is 100% Man and 100% God. I think it will really be better for many to worship this God from far, just like in the days of Moses.
Because coming to Him every now and then has killed many and is still killing many till this very day.
God told us also in the message, titled: CONCEAL NOT YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST. Page 27 from verse 33 –
You cannot fragrantly disobey my word, treat my word as nothing and go about parading yourselves as my disciples.
You are a mocker. You are a scoffer. You must have your eternal portion where scoffers and mockers will end their eternal destinies.
REMEMBER, IT IS THE END THAT DETERMINES YOUR DESTINY, NOT YOUR BEGINNING.
You might have started very well, but from the look of things, are you still holding on to your stand? Or have you not lost your grip? Or are you not on brink of falling away? Or have you not fallen away already before you got to your target?
These are things we have to consider. Unfortunately, many do not know the Voice they are hearing. Many do not know that this has been that Voice that has been echoing and re-echoing from the very foundation of the world which was made to manifest before man in the Garden of Eden.
THE VOICE THAT QUERIED ADAM AND EVE IS THE VOICE YOU ARE HEARING. FOR I HAVE BEEN THERE AS THE ACIENT OF DAYS. I NEED NO MAN TO COME AND TEACH OR GUIDE ME.
That was the reason why, when I sent my servants, you killed all of them. The entire world conspired and killed all my servants. I sent my only begotten Son, thinking they would honor Him as the Son of a king, but they killed Him.
I decided personally to come in person. Let me see whether the Creator and the Creature can battle themselves. So, it is now a long drawn battle.
The battle line has been drawn between the Creator and the creature because all these years, the creature have been having pre-eminence, striving to have pre-eminence every day above the Creator.
Hence, there is fragrant disobedience to His Words. Some treat Him as their equals, while some treat Him with utter disrespect. Hence, His words have no place in their hearts and in their families as is being evidenced by the life they are living.
I know personally that it is not and will never be a light thing for the creator to declare a war with the mere creature.
I wonder always why man has decided to experiment with death. Not just ordinary death but eternal death.
Another thing I believed is causing this is no other thing but Envy and Jealousy in the hearts of the people He, the Almighty, have come to deliver.
Why must it be this person? Why not me or my family or even from close relation?
Not knowing that even if He is your son or from your own choice of person you must have had in mind, you will not still obey or believe in him. Because an unbeliever is an unbeliever and also a great burden to himself or to herself.
It is always better to know the “dos” and “don’ts of an idol before ever taking a decision whether to worship it or not.
This is the area where many have killed themselves in this Bridal faith and it isstill unknown to many till this very day.
Let us see how our ancestor Enoch saw it in his own day. Because the way God reveals Himself to you will determine the way you will fear and worship and reverenced Him. That is why if God does not reveal Himself to you, from time to time, you must have to query your lineage.
The same way you can never have any reverence for God, because you must take Him to be a mere Man like yourself.
Let us see whether God spared the Angels that disobeyed Him from the very official beginning. If He never spared even the angels, how do we now think He will spare this very last age that is even the most wicked age.
I do not really know if what we see at times from all this messages even put Godly and sincere fear of God in us. Or whether we are thinking that Grace can save us even in disobedience.
We must have to realize one thing in this very area. That “LAW is a Man”. The same way “GRACE is equally a Man”.
This very Man is the one that will now determine how to and the way to usher anyone in. for He has no counselor or deputy or second in command.
So, why won’t I fear and reverence that only One Man, unless I am a bastard which certainly am not.
And Enoch, a righteous man whose eyes were opened by God took up his parable and said, “I say the vision of the Holy one in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is far to come.
Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning them: “The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling”.
And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, even on Mount Sinai and will appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens. THE COMPLETE BOOK OF ENOCH, CHAPTER 1 VERSE 1 – 4.
This very book has already made it very clear that there is nothing God never revealed to the Holy Prophet “Enoch”.
This is also a great lesson to those who are willing to change their heart for the better, those who are sorry for their old ways of life which was never pleasing to Him, God in any way at all.
It is very dangerous and the greatest risk for a child of God to fall from his position and refuse to amend his way and run back to the Father.
I saw there seven stars like great burning mountains, and to me, when I enquired regarding them. The angel said; “This place is the end of heaven and earth. This has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven”.
And the stars which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord in the beginning of their rising, because they did not come forth at their appointed times.
And He was wrath with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt should be consummated for ten thousand years”. BOOK OF ENOCH, CHAPTER 6 : 19-21
Brethren, if nobody has the course to fear God even at a time like this, I do.
We can even see from this very paragraph that, He the Almighty Allah, the Lord of Spirits placed these very stars in prison Custody for failure to shine forth at the appointed time.
So we can also see here that each star has its own time to display what God has given him. I hope nobody among us still see this stars from literal angle. For stars are God’s messengers, stars represents human beings.
We are the very stars God has placed forth in this last age, to shine very brightly in this wicked and pervert generation. For He has already equipped us with all we need to shine forth till the very end.
Now you can see that it is never a light statement when the Elohim, The Great Maldi said that many are already in the prison custody, many are already in their graves, and they refused the hand of God even while He has been stretching to bring them out of where they are, due to the wonderful love He has for us all.
Death and life is just a very close boundary and they are just opposite of each other.
And Uriel said to me; “Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with woman, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods.
Here shall they stand, till the day of the great judgment in which they shall be judged, till they are made an end of and the women also of the angels who went astray shall become sirens.”
And I, ENOCH, alone saw the vision, the ends of all things: and no man shall see as I have seen. THE BOOK OF ENOCH, CHAPTER 6: 22-24.
And I proceeded to where things were chaotic. And I saw there something horrible: I saw neither a heaven above nor a firmly founded earth, but a place chaotic and horrible.
And there I saw seven stars of the heaven bound together in it, like great mountains and burning with fire.
Then I said; “For what sin are they bound, and on what account have they been cast in this hither?”
Then said Uriel, one of the holy angels, who was with me, and was chief over them, and said: “ENOCH, why dost thou ask, and why art thou eager for the truth? These are the number of the stars of heaven which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and are bound here till ten thousand years, the time entailed by their sins, are consummated. THE BOOK OF ENOCH, CHAPTER Para 9-12
This why the lord, equally told us that all stars has different glory, and that He surely will reward every man according to his works, for God still remain the God of justice.
Those who are sincerely laboring with Him should never get tired. A good reward awaits them also. I have always understand that, it has always been when the day is about to break that it gets more dark. But a little patient will just work it out.
The same way God has prepared a place to punish the children of disobedience, the same way He has also put a great and beautiful place together for those that will endure till the end.
What about those that has gone back to their former association? Some have gone back to things they renounced before now, while many are truly tired and are just managing with God, for many saw our fellowship at home as a thing of play or a place of rest.
Many do not see the necessity for them to even take their bath before coming to their parlor or prepare as they used to do in the general assembly, because they are only coming to their sitting room to fool themselves and not God.
But I am certain it is only the true worshippers that will see it as the very presence of God, and reverence it as the only place God has decided to place His Holy Name in that particular environment or city, etc.
It ceases to be his or her home until they dismiss from the presence of the Lord God Almighty.
If God does not see the willingness to do Him a good service or worship Him, He can never help you. “Na Pickin when stretch hand for you, you go carry”.
God has been willing and still willing to help us all, if we shall sincerely turn over to a new leaf and run back to Him. You are the one that must run back to God. He will never run to you for you have nothing to offer to God.
If God is using your services as a mere man, rejoice exceedingly for He has the power to command even spirit we cannot see to serve Him.
If God could permit a witch to bring forth the spirit of His prophet including other spirits, can He who owns all not do more than that?
Truth is very heavy. Not every shoulder can carry it, but THE SON OF MAN is preaching, “Whether you like it or not.” Nobody will bend the Truth because of your unbelief. Our unbelief can never make the Word of God to become a lie. Till eternity, the Truth of God reacheth unto the Clouds.

THE INNER STRENGHT”
When Saul saw the vast army of the philistines, he was frantic with fear and asked the Lord what he should do. But, the Lord refused to answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by the prophets.
Saul then instructed his aides to try to find a medium so that he could ask her what to do, and they found one at Endor. Saul disguised himself by wearing ordinary clothing instead of his royal robes. He went to the woman’s home at night, accompanied by his two men. “I’ve got to talk to a dead man,” he pleaded.
“Will you bring his spirit up?” 9 Are you trying to get me killed?” the woman demanded. “You know that Saul has had all the mediums and fortune tellers executed. You are spying on me”.
10 But Saul took a solemn oath that he wouldn’t betray her. 11 Finally, the woman said, “well, whom do you want me to bring up?” Bring me Samuel,” Saul replied.
12 when the woman saw Samuel, she screamed, “you’ve deceived me! You are Saul!” 13 Don’t be frightened”, the king told her. “What do you see?” “I see a specter coming out of the earth”, she said.
14 “What does he look like?” “He is an old man wrapped in a robe” Saul realized that it was Samuel and bowed low before him.
15 “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me back?” Samuel asked Saul. “Because I am in deep trouble,” he replied. “The philistines are at war with us, and God has left me and won’t reply by prophets or dreams; so, I have called for you to ask you what to do.”
16 But Samuel replied, “Why ask me if the Lord has left you and has become your enemy?” 17 He has done just as he said he would and taken the kingdom from you and given it to your rival, David.
18 All these have come upon you because you did not obey the Lord’s Instructions when he was so angry with Amalek. 19 What’s more, the entire Israel army will be routed and destroyed by the philistine tomorrow, and you and your sons will be here with me.
20 Saul now fell full length upon the ground paralyzed with fright because of Samuel’s words. He was also fainted with hunger, for he had eaten nothing all day. 1 Samuel 28: 5 – 20.
This is why we must never think we have become something in the sight of God. This was the same thing that put Lucifer in trouble with His Maker.
But I equally learned a lot from these verses of the scripture, even when Saul knew very well that he has offended God and has a case to settle with God, he, Saul, was now looking for a short cut instead of repenting.
Instead of crying to God in prayers and supplications, he was looking for who he could influence with his sin and craftiness.
Is it a wonder why God told us from the very beginning that if God leaves a man, leaves that man? But the prophet still works with God and justifies the action of God even in the grave.
“For many will always want innocent people to partake of their sins, instead of repenting,” just because they do not want to die alone.
You can see why many of them are trying to make our mummy, Nzubechi to always be in sympathy with them even when they know they are fully in error. When they know they are not really willing to repent or change for the better.
Just because they know that she truly have a very sympathetic heart that does not want to see people cry, that does not want to see people in pain, that does not believe people can come to her hypocritically just because she sees every man or woman as herself.
Therefore, trying to make her to err before the Almighty Allah. Trying to make her to offend God unknown to her. This is the highest form of wickedness.
Look at the Prophet Samuel, after putting the king in remembrance of where he had sinned, where he had disconnected from God, he also prophesied to him immediately, which came to pass.
Who do you think is putting that same word in the mouth of the spirit of the prophet Samuel? God.
Even while he disguised himself. For He, God told us truly that when a man has fallen away, he walk in disguise.
Let us see also from the same book of Enoch what God equally had prepared for His true elects who will serve and obey Him. For I am still coming to something for I will only go as He is directing me.
I am sure He has already guided me to lay a very solid background for this message. For I am only an instrument in His hand to fulfill His purpose for good and not for evil.
Please my beloved brethren, if there be anything God is condemning in your husband or in your wife or in your entire family, please join hand with God to condemn it harder with God. For God can never be in error.
This is where unrepentant hearts emanated from. You want to justify one God has declared guilty? Go ahead and justify that man by calling God an unjust God.
Just take a good look at a true man and a servant of God. The grave never made him to compromise the truth. Oh, no! Truth must truly give birth to truth.
Then answered Michael, one of the holy and honored angels who was with me, and was their leader.
And he said to me: “Enoch, why dost thou ask me regarding the fragrance of the tree, and why dost thou wish to learn the truth?
Then, I answered: “I wish to know about everything, but especially about this tree.”
And he answered saying: “This high mountain which thou has seen, whose summit is like the throne of God, is His throne, where the Holy Great One, the Lord of Glory, the Eternal King, will sit when He shall come down to visit the earth with goodness. And as for this fragrant tree, no mortal is permitted to touch it till the great judgment, when He shall take vengeance on all and bring to its consummation forever. It shall then be given to the righteous and holy. Its fruit shall be for food to the elect. It shall be transplanted to the holy place, to the temple of the Lord, the Eternal King. Book of Enoch, Chapter 7 Paragraph 36 – 39. Halleluiah.
This is where the song that says: “When I remember His promise, I shout Hallelujah” must have come from. Amen.
Then, shall they rejoice with joy and be glad, and into the holy place shall they enter; and its fragrance shall be in their bones, and they shall live a long life on earth. Such as thy fathers lived, and in their days shall no sorrow or plague or torment or calamity touch them.”
Then blessed I the God of Glory, the Eternal King, who hath prepared such things for the righteous and hath created them and promised to give to them. Same chapter from 40-41
This promise belongs to those that fear and honor Him, and are laboring night and day with Him.
Not to those who have decided to forsake God and the work He committed into their hands. Those that want to even offer salvation to God. Those that their pride and arrogance are still holding captive till this very hour.
Those that have walked away physically just because their expectations were not met by God due to what brought them.
God gave us a message littled; IS IT A STRANGE THING IF PEOPLE LEAVE OR ABADON THIS FAITH? EPISTLE 10, CHAPTER 1 VS 1-7
Each time we hear that someone or a family has left this faith, some of you behave as if something strange has taken place. Some even start doubting whether the message is true or false.
This is an ungodly act and should be stopped. If somebody helped you to come into this faith, that is God’s plan for your salvation but the person who helped you may have that as his only ministry and after that he finds fault with the faith and goes out.
This is God’s doing and it is perfect in His sight. Every person must stand upon his or her personal conviction that this faith is true and is from God.
If God is behind it, there is no way many false believers will not come in, which God will use to fulfill the dangerous prophecies and scripture in this church. Remember that God specifically molded pharaoh of Egypt for a purpose and it was fulfilled.
In the church of God which is the house of God, not all that come in there are children of God. God’s eyes are upon His own and not upon those chaff in the midst of wheat.
So long as God lives, the shuck cannot be heir with the wheat, all false brethren, no matter their positions in the body must leave the church before the catching away of the saints.
The Son of Man has already started separating the sheep from the goats. The elect is resting on the assurance that God knows those that are His and those that are not.
God knows all that belong to Him and they know also that they belong to God.
They can never perish forever because the mighty hand of God is upholding them.
Every revival from God always comes to a point where people who believed in the beginning start to abandon their beliefs and that is always the end of their ministries.
The next thing is their sudden destruction. Lets consider these scriptures.
Meanwhile the crowds grew until thousands upon thousands were milling about and crushing each other.
He turned now to his disciples and warned them, “More than anything else, beware of these Pharisees and the way they pretend to be good when they aren’t but such hypocrisy cannot be hidden forever. It will become as evident as yeast in dough. (Luke 12:1-2,LB)
Jesus replied, “The truth of the matter is that you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you believe in me. but you shouldn’t be so concerned about perishable things like food.
No, spend your energy seeking the eternal life that I, the Messiah, can give you. For God the Father has sent me for this very purpose.”(John 6:26-27, LB)
The above scriptures give us a picture of what follows every revival. People are bound to rush and embrace it because of signs and wonders, miracles and healings while others came seeking aid financially and for some other material gains.
As long as these things are flowing, all of them are ardent believers and will continue to stand for the faith.
Watch, immediately God decides to cease all these things, all these multitudes that come not because of eternal life, will start complaining of hardship. They will complain about their businesses, their family, etc, as if they were not told that believing Christ means sharing in His suffering.
These people will be the first to be discouraged because their purpose has failed and they will label the Revival or Faith false. They cannot bear to hear the message of the messenger anymore.
But as long as milk and honey are still flowing, let the messenger call them devil, they will be happy and even balance it in scriptures. Same place to vs 27.
This is why I never cease from saying that, human beings God created that they might worship and praise Him, always specialize in thinking about what God will do for them and never what they will do for God who created them.
Let us also not be too quick to forget the goodness of the Lord towards us and our entire family, and most especially the Bride in general.
We never asked God to pick us and place us where we are now. I, myself was never at all having God in my program for one day. But we only heard that there is God somewhere which we do not really know where He is dwelling, for all these things were just like a story to us.
But He alone now came and decided to seek people who never for one day seek Him. And He went to all length to introduce Himself to us. Because what we had in mind about God was a million miles away from what He really is. He took His time to do a lot of work in us until our eyes of understanding got iluminated, and the zeal to serve and worship Him was always there.
It is really the whole truth that the end of every race has always been very more difficult from the takeoff point. We cannot afford to remove our eyes from our target at a time like this.
We need what I call “THE INNER STRENGHT” at an hour like this. And that Inner Strength comes from Christ and Christ alone. But how dependable are we all on that Inner Strength?
No man or woman can really survive with his or her physical strength at this hour we are living in. your strength must fail you at an hour like this. We all have to lean on Christ and Christ alone.
Think about those times of your first love (how different now!) and turn back to me again and work as you did before or else, I will come and remove your Candlestick from its place among the churches. Revelation 2:5
God is telling us to make sure we all quickly run back to Him and go back to work. Go back quickly to the vineyard which we all have abandoned for Him alone.
I AM THE CANOPY. Believe it if you can. That is why I keep on warning, if you use your mouth to cut down the tree that offers you a shade, during the time of great storm, you will look for a place of refuge and you will find it no more for you have used the words of your mouth to hew down the tree that offers you a shade. I AM THAT TREE, THE UMBRELLA THAT OFFERS YOU THAT SHADE. ABIDE IN ME AND YOU WILL BEAR FRUIT AND YOUR FRUIT MUST SURELY ABIDE. TAKE REFUGE IN THE SON OF MAN, YOU WILL BE SECURED ETERNALLY. FINISH. I AM THE CONSOLATION OF THE SAINTS. That is why, some who feel troubled from time to time, God said, “Off your eyes from your troubles. Place the Son of Man in front.”

DISCONNECTION FROM GOD IS EASY THAN TO CONNECT (2)
God has given us every equipment that we need to fight this battle, to defeat the very devil that is not resting or giving us a breathing space at all.
All we ought to be getting from Him now is just a command, full stop. Just a command while He the Almighty Allah sits to have His rest since He has already trained more than a Battalion of army.
We ought to be greatly ashamed of our selves, that God alone is the only one laboring till now. We must bow our heads to the lowest level in shame. We are all involved.
4 They won’t listen to what the Bible says but will blithely follow their own misguided ideas. 5 Stand steady, and don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Bring others to Christ. Leave nothing undone that you ought to do.
6 I say this because I won’t be around to help you very much longer. My time has almost run out. Very soon, now I will be on my way to heaven. 7 I have fought long and hard for the Lord, and through it all I have kept true to Him. And now the time has come for me to stop fighting and rest. 2 Timothy 4: 4 – 7, LB
I am amazed that you are turning away so soon from God who, in His love and mercy, invited you to share the eternal life He gives through Christ; you are already following a different “way to heaven” which really doesn’t go to heaven at all. Galatians 1: 6, LB
Let us at this moment turn to God now, because where you leave God is the same place you will meet Him. Which remains nothing but in His Word?
20 But if you keep on turning your backs and refusing to listen to me, you will be killed by your enemies; I, the Lord, have spoken. 21 Jerusalem, once my faithful wife! And now a prostitute! Running after other gods! Once “the city of Fair play”, but now a gang of murderers. Isaiah 1: 20 – 21, LB
20 “For the Lord Himself will send His personal curse upon you. You will be confused and a failure in everything you do, until at last you are destroyed because of the sin of forsaking Him. 21 He will send diseases among you until you are destroyed from the face of the land which you are about to enter and posses. Deuteronomy 28: 20-21, LB
God has been so patient with us all, and He still spreading His arms to receive and welcome those who will come to Him, and His patience is running already because His time here with mankind has expired, believe me.
Let us quit now from taking God’s patience for granted. Let us stop taking the grace He has allotted to us to be His weakness. For God is a mysterious being. If you have no cause to fear God, I do. The more God open your eyes to see so many things, the more you must fear Him.
But those who still think that without them God will not succeed, without them God cannot move forward, without them the faith will crash, without them God will fail, when you were not there, He created the whole universe. Creatures are now expecting the Creator to bow down to them.
Please follow me to the message, SPIRITUAL PARALYSIS, preached on 2nd May, 1993, by the Son of Man, Apostle Odoemena, “The Supreme Intelligence” page 32 verse 9 – 32.
DO NOT TAKE THIS GRACE OF GOD IN VAIN OR ELSE GOD WILL SWEEP YOU OUT. Why are you still playing when there is no more time? What is good in the world? Why are you interested in going back to the world? What is good there?
Watch the whole Pentecostals going back to Roman Catholic; even worse than Roman Catholic. God said, “Mind you, do not mind high things”. Imagine us; who is rich among us in the church? Yet God is holding us guilty for minding high things.
Then, watch these people and know if they are believers of Christ. If the righteous scarcely be saved where shall the ungodly appear? Imagin Nkpor Church tomorrow writing five hundred thousand naira launching.
That was why William Branham said, “If God leaves any church, leave that church. If God leaves any man, leave that man”. Do not go back, “launching, launching, launching”.
God has always been right, while we have been wrong all these while. It is never a wonder why He has never stopped to accuse us all of being covetous, which is pure truth.
Until you know that thing which God is accusing you of, you can never correct it, you must think that God is talking in vain or that He is accusing you falsely which has never happened and will never happen.
What makes a man covetous might be something he least expected. It might be something we neglected most.
What will even make a man to abandon something that is committed into His hand If not covetousness? When you excuse yourself a little to go and look for other things outside that very one. Is it not negligent of duty?
While many of us want to compete with the world and then neglected our duty post leaving it open for predators to come in, enemies that have been looking for an opportunity from the very beginning to come in.
What then is the pride and arrogance? Even the little we are enjoying till today who bestow it on us if not the Almighty Allah. What were you before? An individual question.
What are you so puffed up about? What do you have that God has not given you? And if all you have is from God, why act as though you are so great, and as though you have accomplished something on your own? 1 Corinthians 4: 7, LB.
1 DON’T ENVY GODLESS MEN; don’t even enjoy their company. 2 For they spend their days plotting violence and cheating. Proverb 24: 1 – 2, LB
I have always told myself this very truth, “You can never be me and I can never be you”. Let us learn to remain who God has made us to be. Let us continue from the same message. Page 34 verse 35 – 36.
IF YOU EVER THINK YOU ARE SOMETHING, GOD WILL TAKE YOU AWAY AND THE CHURCH WILL MARCH ON. Nobody is important in the house of God; nobody is very much important, hence he or she says, “Without me this church will not exist”.
Do not ever have such a thing in your mind. Any day pride comes into you, you are falling away; you are off. God will take you away and you will see little children like promise climb the pulpit; preach a wonderful sermon which you will never believe. Even the Apostle will come to the pulpit crying, weeping. If God used an ass to speak to Balaam, how much more a human being?
Brethren, can’t we praise and glorify God for He has never failed to bring His word to pass. This prophecy has already fulfilled even till this very hour.
Those who we were having in mind that they will be the ones to relieve the Son of Man for His long term labor are now nowhere to be found. Many, maybe due to their physical closeness to the Son of Man. This involves the whole local assembles, so we do not fix our eyes on Onitsha alone.
Because we have always specialized in pushing away a message that will help us more to somebody else, which has never helped us till now.
We can now see, the youth have taken up the responsibility of succeeding with God. They have taken up the mantle of leadership in deep sincerity of heart and not in hypocrisy.
When you hear the youth, the youth, are you part of that very youth that decided to raise up the two hands of Moses?
There is an adage in my place that says that: “when you are saluting a group of people in a gathering, it is never all of them you are really saying the greetings to. That even the people that owns the greetings know themselves also”.
It is never a wonder why God truly said that every family is full of vomit. This is because men and brethren are no longer mindful of the Word of God. They are no longer mindful of the doctrines, conduct and order of the church of God.
6, 7 Jesus replied, “You bunch of hypocrites! Isaiah the prophet described you very well when he said, “these people speak very prettily about the Lord but they have no love for Him at all. Their worship is a fence, for they claim that God commands the people to obey their petty rules. “How right Isaiah was! 8 For you ignore God’s specific orders and substitute your own traditions. 9 You are simply rejecting God’s laws and trampling them under your feet for the sake of tradition. Mark 7: 6 – 9, LB
If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him and always stand your ground in defending him. 1 Corinthians 13: 7, LB
When you truly love somebody, you put all your hope and trust on that person. You do not fear whether he or she will kill you or not. You are always relaxed with that person because you love him.
You will even defend him or her whether you know what happen or not before you will find out from him or her what actually happened. These are what love can do.
Do we only defend the cause of Christ by wining our argument with people outside? Or are we now counting our righteousness on how many people we brought to the Faith? Or how hard we preached the sermon? NO
Remember God said we must defend the faith all round. That is why I have never failed to pray this particular prayer to God, “Not to allow me to fulfill the Ministry of a broom. When you finish with a broom you put it somewhere. But to help me to fulfill my ministry in joy and happiness, all to the glory of His Holy Name.
For it is not he that willeth nor he that rumeth, but God who showeth mercy. For my safety is in His hands, Him alone I will forever depend on.
There is a song that say, “I have no power of my own, Lord. I have no power of my own. I confess to Lord, I have no power of my own. Amen.
This is the reason I have never failed to ask God to always reveal to me any area I have not performed well. And He has truly never fail to answer my prayers in different ways.
For everything that truly pertain to life and Godliness are embedded in the word of God, only if you can comprehend it.
That is why before you even condemn me I have already condemned myself. And I am sure it has been helping me.
I love to conclude this few words of exaltation by going through the message titled, “DECISION TO FOLLOW CHRIST”. Page 49 verse 18
That is my prayer always is this: “God, keep on directing me; keep on guiding me in the pathway of righteousness; in the pathway of truth; never permit me to go the way of those that went wrong. Never, never for one day allow me to.
Even if I desire to go that way, please block it, make it impossible for me to follow the way of those that went wrong; more so, when I have seen the Deity.
With my eyes, I have seen God. I have touched Him. I have handled Him. I have heard Him speak and I know He is the message of life. Why should I then go the pathway of those worshiping imaginary God? Why should I go the way of riches, when I know there is no life in riches?
At death, riches cannot save me. Nothing can ransom my soul. There is no amount of material possession that can ransom my soul.
Brother Sam, [Yes, My Lord] You were my witness at Nsuka when I spoke to Brother John Onyia. Were you not there? [I was there Sir]. You are equally involved.
Those that go after money, after riches, after wealth, pierce themselves with many sorrows. They leave this Faith; they abandon the Faith without recognizing it. They abandon the Faith of Christ easily without knowing it.
I have used many things to illustrate it. Anybody whose eyes are blinded by the riches of this world is a self-deceived fool. That is why I emphasize it; for you to serve God acceptably. Recognize where you are coming from and where you are heading to.
When you met God, did you meet Him as a Millionaire? What were you? Whatever you think you possess today, how did you get it? Who bestowed all those things on you? Have you found His motive for doing it?
Have you ever prayed: God, help me to use this to serve you? And not to brag and boast and show that you are this and that.
There is one thing that is difficult to avoid; to avert, the moment riches begin to come, to escape from the pride and arrogance that are associated with it has always been very difficult. Pride and arrogance always accompany riches, more especially when it is bestowed into the hands of those who never had the Holy Spirit of God before the wealth came.
For them to manage it, they will put their lives there. They may be hiding under the cloak of the church, donating to charity, helping the needy if they wanted to, but that is not what God is looking for.
Such people’s hearts are completely empty. The word of God cannot settle in their hearts; the word of God cannot control them. They are controlled by their riches; by their emotions; by their impulses. All their problems on earth are worldly problems.
I am very sure that we can truly see here that, to disconnect from God is really too easy than to connect back to God. For too many things can disconnect one from “the God Head”.
All these things God is highlighting here are 100 percent happening around us. Just like the other day a brother called me to report the wife to me, and I enquired from him first what truly transpired and he is very happy to tell me how he walked the wife out from the morning alter; reason is that the wife will always like to bow down to pray before coming down to Morning alter, as if his own prayer is not good enough.
I now told him that he is the very problem of his family and not the wife. I now have to point him to a message where God even commended our mummy; “Sister Nzubechi, on how she normally prays before coming down to morning alter which I believe everyone should and must have to emulate, for we are to emulate Godly things wherever it is coming from, whether from a man or woman.
The same way he complained that the wife does not respect him, despite all that he is providing for her and the family.
But all he could get from me has always been the opposite side of his story. So, I have to tell him to start providing spiritual food and other spiritual materials for the wife and for the entire family and see if the wife will not respect and honor him. For I know that his wife has always loved to go for spiritual things more than carnal things like himself.
Like my mother used to tell us when she was alive; that if the truth I will tell you will make you to go and break all the pots you are using to cook for me, break them all and throw the whole firewood inside the bush. It is better truth paths than to be united in falsehood. That is why our God has never stopped telling us this basic fact, that money can never bring peace to our home but truth alone, which is the word of God. For we can do nothing against the truth.
4 A wise man’s words express deep streams of thought. 5 It is wrong for a judge to favor the wicked and condemn the innocent. 6 A fool gets into constant fights. His mouth is his undoing! His words endanger him. Proverbs 18: 4 – 6, LB
12 It is better to be slow-tempered than famous; it is better to have self-control than to control an army. Proverbs 16: 32, LB
The only love we can truly show to one another at an hour like this is to tell ourselves the naked and whole truth. Bringing ourselves back to line, the same way God is still doing till today.
Do not give me biscuit or give me gift, but give me the truth that I should not perish. Truth is the only thing that saves life.
Not pretending that you love someone when you do not. Not visiting each other hypocritically when the heart is saying a different thing. You might not really visit someone physically but yet you are praying for that person or family or individual at all time.
Let us be very careful and be deadly sincere, for the God we are serving is a very sensitive spirit you can never understand His ways.
It has been my normal route is what has always made an antelope to fall into a trap. I normally pass here before; I normally do like this before and nothing happened No, death comes in different ways, the same way God told us that accident happens in different ways.
It is even better God permits one to die physically than to permit a man or woman to die spiritually and be buried spiritually.
Like the brother always tell me whenever he has issues with his wife, after he must have said a lot of things, he will end it by saying that he is very sure that when translation strikes now that he is leaving the wife behind.
Then, I told him or reminded him what God said, that marriage is a ministry; that you cannot even think of paradise when you do have the thought to make full proof of your marriage. For it is nothing but self deceit.
God has never spoken in vain and will never speak in vain. Most of our sisters are even truly more spiritual than some so called brothers
Just like I was telling my family the other day, because the best and only friends I have here on earth remain my family. That one of the reasons why i love the Holy Prophet Muhammad, blessed be his name, is because he knows that a man can make some mistakes without knowing.
This is a man who will always recite the longest chapter in the Holy Quran before day break on a daily basis, which is Surah Baqarat, Chapter 2.
He will sometimes start his prayers by 12 o’clock midnight and end his prayers by 4am in the morning, and before you know it his legs will get swollen at times.
The wife “Aisha met him one night and said to him, sir, but the angel has already told you and has confirmed to you that you will enter paradise, why do you still pray and work too hard like this? But his reply to the wife was this; I have to pray to Almighty Allah at all time because I am a human being that can fall into error without knowing, for only Allah is perfect. Any lesson to learn from our holy prophet? Yes, a lot.
Jesus in his own day equally enjoined his followers to pray without season that they may not fall into temptations. What can we say about the very father of us all who has been sending them, that has decided to come down by Himself at this closing hour of the history of mankind?
Has He not always enjoined us to pray without season? Yes. We know how He prays all the time, he prays even while driving, prays while eating and while doing everything. Yet He knows who He is, even if many do not know, for you cannot know a man more than himself.
I will have to call it a day by stopping here for now until He permits me to come our way again because I am just but a working tool in His hands, all to the glory of His holy name.
May this wonderful message from the Lord our God bear the right fruit in us. Most especially those that will not call it fairy tales or heresy.
And may it be for our salvation till the very end and glory to our God, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena. May all glory, all praises and adoration be ascribe unto his name, now and forever more. Amen
A LOVE LETTER TO THE BRIDE OF CHRIST RESIDENT IN NIGERIA
OUR EXPERIENCES DURING THIS PERIOD OF LOCKDOWN FAMILY WORSHIP
WHY DON’T WE SIT DOWN
AND RE-THINK?
27/9/2020
By
Bishop Elijah Gaiya
Household of God at Nasarawa
4
WHY DON’T WE SIT DOWN AND RE-THINK?
It was a period where almighty God used to separate the goats from the sheep among the bride, it was also a period the Lord used to see those that worship Him in spirit and in truth and those that are nominal and carnal worshipers. It also confirmed to us that we are in a prophetic ministry.
All that the Lord said in the message “investigative judgment angel before the translation of the saints” Fulfilled to the dot.
Almighty God said, He will give us acid test, this fulfilled immediately we roll into this period, a lot of families died spiritually, while some families revived spiritually, I am a living example, I was dead until almighty God called me, using my GSM number to deliver a message to elder Abu, the voice of the almighty resurrected me from the dead.
It was from then I woke up to my responsibilities, now we are feeding from the fresh manna every day with the Lord, if there is a time I enjoy spiritual worship with the Lord it is in this period. The Lord said, unbelief has been pursued to our homes, it is TRUTH.
It was this time that a lot of families battled with unbelief in their homes, you can imagine a head of the family that had never mounted the pulpit for one day in the church to preach and he will be the one to pastor his family, with what will he pasture them and some were not hooked up with the messages coming from Nsugbe (which is the fresh manna) are they reading messages that they have in their homes?. It means they are cut off.
This is a period where almighty God monitored our hypocrisies in the message fivefold worship, a lot of us manifested great hypocrisies when it comes to giving offering some never worshipped God for one day during this period.
The Lord has been challenging us all this while, that if you are numbered amongst those who say that it is a burden to worship the Lord, that worshipping the Lord is a burden you cannot bear.
He said, “why not go and try the devil?” you feel you are wasting your time serving the Lord, coming down to the fellowship or worshiping at your various domains from time to time, He said, “Well, you will do better to go to the devil, peradventure what you are looking for may be found in the devil”. Envy and jealousy Pg. 24 vs 6.
The Lord had been training us to be self reliant but so many of us remain adamant, that is why so many lack directions. He said if I warned you on one thing several times and then you harden your heart, I will also harden my heart and push you out.
When those old timers have been warned first time, second time, third time, fourth time and fifth time and more than Bible provision and then they are now seeing it as weakness on the side of God, the son of man, (His) Lordship will come out. Identification of the mighty Angel. Pg 42 vs 27.
We have a lot of imbeciles in our midst, who is an imbecile. “it is one having the mental facilities feeble or defective, feeble-minded, characterized by stupidity, a person of feeble mind, intermediate between an idiot and a moron.
I can’t imagine a child that will grow up to 28years old, but cannot stand on his own rather continues to depend on his father, feeding him, clothing him.
If he is married, the father will pay his rentage, cloth his wife and children, pay the school fees of his children while he stays idle only to be expecting from his father, Is he not an imbecile?.
Can we say this is the product of what this most holy faith produced since its inception? I say God forbid!. Why don’t we sit down and talk to ourselves, individually, what has been my contribution to this ministry, now that we have come to the end of the ministry?
Am I numbered among the imbeciles? This ministry had taught us how to be dependable on our selves, but a lot of us had become good for nothing only to be a burden to themselves and the ministry.
What type of generation are we raising up? What type of example are we laying down to our families? What I am saying I am not exempting myself, I am equally guilty.
No wonder the voice said all tables are full of vomit which is the perfect Truth.
A visionary father will never encourage such, we have never done the best until we retrieve from that as we thought on our ways, we turn back to Him. He is our mercy seat.
A GOOD SHEPHERED
Family menu Vol. 1 Pg. 38 chapter 12 unquote: As a messenger of God in this dispensation, I can not because of the angry resentment of the mixed-multitude against the truth, shy away from this wholesome teaching from almighty Allah, which is accompanied by a great reward for that will be a disservice to the Bride.
We have benefitted a lot from the son of man, in terms of sickness we cry out to him, problem from in and out, He has been bearing our burden, why don’t we alleviate his burden, why do we disturb Him with trivial things that we can solve.
If you cannot sit down and see the burden the son of man is bearing and think of the way to reduce it, know assuredly that you are numbered among the mixed multitude and you have come to the end of your ministry.
Why don’t we learn from ordinary ants, everyone is busy going up and down to gather and drag all that they found back to their domain? They are not selfish, they drag together till they carry it home before they come out again.
The Almighty God, the son of man, Hazrat Mahdi, Apostle Peter Odoemena (Blessed be unto His most holy name) have and is fulfilling all the qualities of the good shepherd and it is left to us to emulate Him.
All the imbeciles in our midst, if I am numbered among them, I should rethink or find myself out of the faith for this most holy faith MUST produce the product of the good shepherd, all His qualities must be reflected in the believers of this most holy faith, come what may.
Hear what the great Mahdi has to say. SINNERS: Sinners are not the people out there but those inside hearing my voice, receiving my teachings and even testifying that they are true. They are the sinners.
Sin is, if you know what you are supposed to do and deliberately ignore it and do another, it has become sin to you.
Who is a wicked fellow? A wicked fellow is not he that kill people on the street but he that is exposed to the TRUTH but he abandons the way of TRUTH, the way of Christ and abide in a character contrary to the teachings he has received in this most holy faith.
It is one thing to hear from the son of man and another thing to act on His instructions. If we do not put into practice that which we are hearing, we cannot graduate to supernatural human beings.
May we wake up to our responsibilities is my earnest prayer. On this note I say, may He help us obtain His nature, may we also consider this love letter and rethink, let us speak to ourselves. It is your fellow soldier in tribulation.
LATTER TO APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN BY BISHOP OBADIAH OSHIMIRI, ABA, ABIA STATE.
5
LETTER TO APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA (THE SON OF MAN)
Bishop Obadiah Oshimiri Aba, Abia state 17th October, 2020 The Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, Bridal Lodge Nsugbe, Anambra State.
My Lord and My Saviour, GLORY BE TO YOUR HOLY NAME.
Let me join hands with the Brethren that appreciate good things our Lord God Almighty has done, what He is doing today and what He would do tomorrow.
It pleased The Son of Man- The Lord God Almighty; to keep me alive till today because He wants to, He loves me and He is a faithful Father, to partake of the blessing of our faith in the faith of the Son of Man.
He has enabled me to read His old and recent messages. He helps me also to listen to audio messages coming out from Almighty God Himself and His only holy and righteous family on earth almost on daily basis.
This has not only sustained me and my wife in the faith of the Son of Man but has enabled us to correct our errors and helped us to amend our ways to be better citizens in His heavenly kingdom.
It is also from this fountain of truth-The true word of God from God and His family that the saints (elects) of God worldwide are blessed and sustained. This is where God-The Son of Man has been talking to the Bride of Christ worldwide from one voice-The voice of the Son of Man, teaching, directing and warning the Bride to be conscious of the hour we are living in. This has helped to stop dichotomy in preaching or teaching of the word of God. We are now sure we are drinking from one source of the water of life, The word of God.
These has proved really, that The Son of Man, The Almighty God, The Christ of our day is the very Saviour to as many as anchored their faith in Him. For we know that nobody can ever help himself no matter how strong he might be, nor save himself if God is not with him or her. For the scripture says that “not he that runneth or he that willeth but God showeth mercy”. I believe that God will go to all length to save whosever He wants to save.
Now therefore I and my wife, we appreciate what The Son of Man is doing in His Holy and righteous family to help and sustain the Bride of Christ to remain in their sanctified estate till the day of our translation.
This glorious MOVE in the family of The Son of Man because of the Covid-19 and the general lockdown is ordained of God even before the foundation of the world.
We pray always asking the Lord God for this MOVE to continue bearing these good fruits it has been bearing until the saints are clothed with immorality, Amen.
Of a truth The Bride of Christ worldwide should owe it as duty to reciprocate this LOVE of God which we are privileged to have which the Almighty God has shown unto us.
There is no labour of love even nearly His Life blood , Son of Man has not used to pass across His teachings and doctrines, even revealed His Deity to us to know who has been talking to us so that we should believe Him and be protected and be saved.
This great kind gesture –A wonderful Grace we received from The Lord God Almighty, we should reciprocate by at least our implicit obedience to His words. We pay heed to all His commands and instructions. We should love Him, honour Him, and worship Him for what He is to us. Infact, do everything within our ability to satisfy His will. This is according to the scripture
Deut. 10:12-14 LB. And now Israel, what does the Lord Your God require of you? He requires you to fear Him, to live according to His will, to love and worship Him with all your heart and soul. And to obey the Lord’s commands and laws that I am giving you today for your own good. The highest heavens and the earth and everything in it all belongs to the Lord your God.
Thus, when I sat down and examined all these labour of Love God has shown to us and to me in particular, I lack words to express my gratitude to Him. Then I blame myself angrily for failing God when I am expected to perform very well. Oh! I was over taken by sin and false anointing. Lord God pardon me and forgive me. I have sincerely repented aggressively. I have really learnt my lessons in the hardest way.
I further thank the Lord and appreciate Him for enabling me to participate along side with my fellow Brethren of like precious faith to worship Him in our individual families and individually in our homes.
I plead also that in any way the anger of my Lord is raised against me, let His anger calm down, so that He would not strike me as high as He has risen up His hand. Rather let Him drag me along with Himself and the saved of this generation even against my nature to His heavenly kingdom.
I do not need His judgment but His mercy. Lead me for I do not know how to lead myself. Glory be to the Holy name of the Lord, Amen.
