Preached On Saturday, 18th January 2020 At The Household of God, Onitsha By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN ELLA ELOHIM
Be silent Church. I love God. He can never speak in vain. If you know God has ever accused you falsely; If you know God has in any way accused any of you falsely, either through My mouth (THE SON OF MAN) or through the mouth of any of your Pastors, Evangelists or Teachers or any prophets, raise up your hand. He will speak. He has mouth. I am here. You see, there is one thing that makes Me (THE SON OF MAN) glad. As long as God is with Me (THE SON OF MAN), I have every boldness to declare what He has put in My mouth…….

LEARN TO LOVE GOD MORE
AND MORE
1 John 2:3-29. LB 3And how can we be sure that we belong to him? By looking within ourselves: ARE WE REALLY TRYING TO DO WHAT HE WANTS US TO?
1. Are we trying earnestly to see that we do that which He wants us to do or are we trying so hard to be disobedient and warring against His Word?
2. This is because, one that is striving earnestly to obey the Word of God is the one God helps, for it is God constantly at work in us helping us want to obey Him. [Philippians 2:13]
3. Then to the unbelievers, the devil is constantly at work in them, helping them to remain disobedient. So, know the person who is constantly at work in you.
4. The way you will know whether you are in God or that you are a part of those that will get eternal life is to look into yourself and your life, “Am I one of those that are striving earnestly to do that which God has commanded I should do or am I one of those who are striving earnestly to oppose every Word of God?” Am I Shadrach Onah?
5. 4Someone may say, “I am a Christian;… You may be the one, “I am a child of God.” Someone may say, I am on my way to heaven; I belong to Christ.” But if he doesn’t do what Christ tells him to, he is a liar.
6. I told you that I am here to read the Scripture a little to you. Someone may say. Why not accept that you are the “someone”? I am a child of God. I am on my way to Heaven. Eternal life belongs to me.
7. He said, “No problem about your claim. Even the devil can claim more than that.” But if you are not doing what Christ commands you to do, the Scriptures said, “You are a liar.” You are only lying against yourself. This is the fellow that will be disappointed. It is called disappointed expectation.
8. Such a fellow had already examined his answer script and marked himself or herself, broadcasting how he is working hard and so on. “I am on the way to Heaven. If I am not counted in the enemy, it then means the enemy has done it.”
9. Has God said so? Did you hear it from the mouth of God or is it the thought and imaginations of your heart? When you think that you are living righteously and you also find out that, of the Word of God and His teachings, you have never put any into practice, you are still living in disobedience, upon what ground are you then standing claiming that you are a child of God and that you are already in heaven? One thing remaineth.
10. 5But those who do what Christ tells them to will learn to love God more and more. Will do what? …LEARN TO LOVE GOD MORE AND MORE.
11. They will learn to love God and also keep on loving Him, for loving God means obeying the teachings that have been laid down by God. As long as God has said it, you do not give it any other interpretation. Your duty is to do it or do not do it. The choice is yours.
12. 3And how can we be sure that we belong to him? By looking within ourselves: That is the way to know whether or not you are a Christian.
13. 6Anyone who says he is a Christian should live as Christ did. If you say you are a child of God, your life and the life of God who is evidently revealed to you must be the same. Your life cannot be different and that of God, different.
14. Is it not the reason why God said, “One step remaineth”, for without this nature, you cannot live with Him eternally in Paradise. You can live with Him today with the knowledge that you know Him, are acquainted with Him practically and everywhere, but the life is not found in you. Who marked you out? You marked yourself out.
15. If you really love Him, what is that thing that makes it difficult for you to live the life of God. You must be finding fault with Him because you refused to pattern after Him. May be your own is better preferred. Your own might be higher.
16. That is the way to know whether or not you are a Christian. That is the way to know whether you are a child of God or not.
17. 7 Dear brothers, I am not writing out a new rule for you to obey, for it is an old one you have always had, right from the start. You have heard it all before.
18. 8Yet it is always new, and works for you just as it did for Christ; and as we obey this commandment, to love one another, the darkness in our lives disappears and the new light of life in Christ shines in.
19. THE SCRIPTURE SAID, “WHEN YOU OBEY THIS COMMANDMENT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.”BUT WHEN THE LOVE IS NOT THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER, YOU ARE GROPING IN DARKNESS. IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD, YOU WILL LOVE HUMAN BEINGS THAT WERE CREATED BY GOD.
20. 9Anyone who says he is walking in the light of Christ but dislikes his fellow man is still in darkness. Yes!
21. 10But whoever loves his fellow man is “walking in the light” and can see his way without stumbling around in darkness and sin.
22. 11For he who dislikes his brother is wandering in spiritual darkness… He that dislikes His Brother or Sister is wandering in what? Spiritual darkness. Have you seen that there is a problem when one is spiritually blind?
23. When he sees white, he calls it black. And when he sees black he calls it white. He will support everything, both good and evil, approving all of them to be right. That person will now be Onyema Isaac. They are all the children of God. That is the spirit of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
24. 11For he who dislikes his brother is wandering in spiritual darkness and doesn’t know where he is going, for the darkness has made him blind so that he cannot see the way.
25. 12I am writing these things to all of you, my little children, because your sins have been forgiven in the name of Jesus our Savior.
26. 13I am saying these things to you older men… Older men! Take note. Older women! Also take note! 13I am saying these things to you older men because you really know Christ,… Do you know Christ? …the one who has been alive from the beginning. Who has been alive from the beginning. Do you know HIM?
27. And you young men,… You young men and young ladies. …I am talking to you because you have won your battle with Satan.
28. Have you won your battle with Satan? Do you put fish into the food just by the word of your mouth? That is why God gave you the seminar, CREATING ENMITY IN THE HEARTS OF OUR YOUTHS AGAINST ALL THE EVILS OF OUR DAY, to the extent that if you understand it and obey, God has given you the victory.
29. This is because the lectures you were given will make you to become overcomers. The devil can never cause you to fear again.
30. And I am writing to you younger boys and girls because you, too, have learned to know God our Father.
31. 14AND SO I SAY TO YOU FATHERS WHO KNOW THE ETERNAL GOD,… Your fathers know Him. If we are talking about the fathers who know the Eternal God, is it Bro Shadrach or Pastor Dan or Christian Dike or Chimee Nwachukwu or Amankem or Apostle Kelechi who does not know the difference between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of Heaven?
32. Who are the fathers? Is it Osegbo or John Ekwueme who is still writing text messages to Me, telling Me that it is the revised edition? Those that came to My house, did you not read it?
33. He said that the revised edition of THE GREAT SERMON was what opened his eyes and he now understood what this Faith is all about. He said that he never even understood what we had been saying all along. That is John Ekwueme who was there in the End Time years before Me. That was what he wrote to Me in a text message.
34. 14AND SO I SAY TO YOU FATHERS WHO KNOW THE ETERNAL GOD, AND TO YOU YOUNG MEN WHO ARE STRONG WITH GOD’S WORD IN YOUR HEARTS,… The ever Living Word in your hearts.
35. …and have won your struggle against Satan: You have won what? Your fight. This is because the Word of God abideth in your heart. There is no room for the devil because you now know all his strategies. The mistakes you made are all in the past. Let it come again!
36. Pay attention everybody. The Youths, the fathers, the mothers and everybody.
37. 15Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you,… STOP LOVING THIS EVIL WORLD AND ALL THAT THIS EVIL WORLD OFFERS YOU. …for when you love these things you show that you do not really love God;
38. 16FOR ALL THESE WORLDLY THINGS, THESE EVIL DESIRES—the craze for sex, the ambition to buy everything that appeals to you,…
39. Brethren, does God not see? Is it not the hour we are in? Buy this. Buy that. Mini skirt, trousers, make-up, wig, weave-on, show your buttocks, show your breast. Where will they all end? Craze for sex. Where does it lead to? Premature marriage. Unwanted pregnancy. Youths, true or false?
40. You must know the devil’s strategies. That is why God said, “If you do not teach them, do not blame them.” Now, we have taken out time to train you, and that Message DOING THE LORD’S WORK ACCORDING TO HIS RULE.
41. I said it there before the meeting was held that to sustain the benefits of the meeting, it should be a regular occurrence. A periodic training. A periodic seminar, for which we should not count the cost, but the gain.
42. And I learnt the Youths have approved it. Then, we can consolidate the gains. If we can do it, then we can be sure of having a better tomorrow for our children, both males and females.
43. 16FOR ALL THESE WORLDLY THINGS, THESE EVIL DESIRES—the craze for sex, the ambition to buy everything that appeals to you, AND THE PRIDE THAT COMES FROM WEALTH AND IMPORTANCE…
44. And the pride that is associated with wealth and importance. Brethren, put your hands together for God. Amen.
45. Is it not the order of the day? God saw the end from the beginning and documented it as a guide. WHO WILL ALLOW HIMSELF OR HERSELF TO BE GUIDED BY THE WORD OF GOD? IT IS ONLY THE WISE.
46. BUT THE FOOLISH WILL IGNORE IT, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE SEEING THE WHOLE THING HOLDING SWAY OVER EVERY FLESH, RULING EVERY HUMAN BEING. THE PRIDE, THE FAME, THE IMPORTANCE THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH WORLDLY WEALTH AND WORLDLY POSITIONS, EVEN THE PREMATURE DEATHS, THE RESTIVENESS, THE VIOLENCE, ALL OF THEM THAT ACCOMPANY ALL THESE THINGS,
47. —THESE ARE NOT FROM GOD. They are from this evil world itself. 17And this world is fading away, and these evil, forbidden things will go with it,… These evil forbidden things will go away with the world that is fading away.
48. Brethren, is this world not fading away? Unless you do not have the eyes that can see. Anybody who has the eyes that can see will know that the world is gradually fading away. The world is running towards its end. Tell me if there is any evil we have not witnessed. If you do not see with your eyes, you will hear with your ears.
49. And look at all we are labouring to acquire. We end it in acquiring fame, popularity and importance to ourselves. And we do not realize that when we die, these things are gone. When the LORD will destroy the world, not even one will remain.
50. The wild fire that has been ravaging Australia since September is still on there. Did the fire spare any building? Did it spare any factory or bank? Wherever it gets to, it consumes everything thereof. When rain fell to extinguish it, it brought about flooding and the fire is still raging.
51. That of Wales is still on. That of Pretoria is also raging, while flood is almost carrying India away. While those one is still going on, volcanic eruption is ravaging Philippines and hail [storm] is clearing Pakistan, not sparing human beings, animals and houses.
52. That was what I showed our brethren in the Bible. When you get the New year Message of 2019, the Message will tell you how God is going to judge all the nations of the earth in different forms.
53. We are seeing diseases and pestilences. We are equally seeing wars in different places, excluding the ones that are yet to come. Yet, the foolish is saying that nothing is happening.
54. Do you know the number of people that have lost their lives in wars? Do you know the number of people that have been killed by diseases and pestilences? Are you waiting for the time it will kill you?
55. The Word of God is at work. God is at work. I say, God is at work bringing His prophecies to pass. Amen.
56. …BUT WHOEVER KEEPS DOING THE WILL OF GOD WILL LIVE FOREVER. 18Dear children, this world’s last hour has come. Amen.
57. We are at the end of all things. When it was written, it was still a prophecy. But today, we are in it proper. We have stepped into it. Is there anyone who does not know that we have come to the end of all things?
I told you, I AM THE TRUE MASTER BUILDER. Go back to the Message titled, THE TWO MASTER BUILDERS. I am taking My time. I am not in a haste. I can never present to My Father, half-baked bread. No! I bake My disciples the same way Jesus baked His disciples, but he did not bake them too much, for there was no time for him. Three years alone could not bake them. However, I have been baking you since the year 1992, up till today. I believe I have baked you enough – all round baking. I have baked you in suffering. I have baked you through hardship. I have baked you through sorrow, through pains, through sickness, through unemployment. I have baked you in times of want, in times of everything. I am now baking you in the time when you are rejoicing.

WHY MUST YOU ALLOW HISTORY TO TESTIFY AGAINST YOU?
1 John 2:18 – 29 LB. …You have heard about the Antichrist who is coming—the one who is against Christ—AND ALREADY MANY SUCH PERSONS HAVE APPEARED.
1. These are the people that are warring against the truth. The people that rejected Christ and all His teachings. Yet, they go to church.
2. This makes us all the more certain that the end of the world is near. 19These “against-Christ”… These people that are against Christ, listen that you may hear of where they are found.
3. 19These “against-Christ” people used to be members of our churches,… These were the people with whom we were worshipping God together. We used to be in the same gathering. Some are still here even till this very moment and are still opposing Christ, the truth and the doctrines.
4. If you are called anti-Christ, you will get angry. But look into your life and write your own testimony about yourself. Every man; every woman; whether we believe it or not, we must write our individual history. Your life today will be a history tomorrow. True or false?
5. My life yesterday is history today. My life today will be history tomorrow. So you are writing your own history. What am I saying?
6. IT TAKES THE FOOLISH TO ALLOW HISTORY TO SPEAK AGAINST HIM. WHEN HISTORY TESTIFIES AGAINST A MAN, HE IS DOOMED TO ETERNITY. WHY MUST YOU ALLOW HSTORY TO TESTIFY AGAINST YOU?
7. The things which you have heard about and equally witnessed where it happened; you were warned seriously never to allow such things to befall you and you willfully beckoned on it to come to you, that you are there, will history not testify against that person?
8. That is why all that happened in time past, happened as example, and they were documented for our learning so that we will never permit such thing to befall us. [Romans 15:4, 1 Corinthians 10:11]
9. We will never go the way those people went, for which cause they incurred the wrath of God. If you are the hard-hearted Pharaoh, I will show you your position today.
10. 19These “against-Christ” people used to be members of our churches, BUT THEY NEVER REALLY BELONGED WITH US… Have you heard it? Can somebody be here from the beginning of the Faith, yet he does not belong to us? Is it possible?
11. So, you see why you do not depend on anybody. Depend on Christ. Your husband may be the anti-Christ. Your wife may be the anti-Christ. Anybody may be the anti-Christ.
12. Somebody who has vowed a vow that he will never obey any instruction from God. No teaching will ever shake him. To him, the Word of God is a story. Always standing on the way of Truth. That is the very anti-Christ.
13. And the Bible said, “Many of them have gone out” and they are among us. [1 John 4:1 – 3] Some used to be with us, while some are still among us. Those who are against God and the Truth. Is written on any body’s face? By their fruits, ye shall know them. [Matthew 7:16]
14. They can preach. They can teach. But live the life, zero. The life is zero.
15. 19These “against-Christ” people used to be members of our churches, BUT THEY NEVER REALLY BELONGED WITH US or else they would have stayed. When they left us it proved that they were not of us at all.
16. 20But you are not like that, for the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you know the truth. The Elect is not like that, for the Holy Spirit is already guiding you and you know the truth.
17. 21So I am not writing to you as to those who need to know the truth,… I am not talking to you as people who should know the truth, but I am talking to you as people who already know that which is the truth.
18. 21So I am not writing to you as to those who need to know the truth, but I warn you as those who can discern the difference between true and false. Amen.
19. If you do not know the truth, can you discern between the truth and false? It is the one who knows the truth that can know that which is false. Good!
20. That I am talking to you, it is not so that you will know the truth. I am talking to you as a people who already know the truth, as those who can rightly discern between the truth and falsehood.
21. I am talking to you as a people who can discern when they are approached with a seductive message; and a people who know when they are treated cunningly and deceitfully;
22. A people who know when they are approached with lip service when the hearts of the people they are having dealings with are far away from the truth. A people who know and can identify the churchgoers who do not have any need for any of the doctrines of Christ.
23. It is only one who knows the truth that can identify all these things. To one who does not know these things, “We are all “Brethren”. We are going to Heaven. We are all Brethren. We are all Brethren.”
24. Who are your Brethren? Who is your Brother? Who is your Sister? The Psalms testified and said “that man, that woman who has the fear of God, listens to the Word of God and also puts it into practice. He is your Brother. She is your Sister.”
25. Any other person is on the opposing side. That is the anti-Christ. He that opposes the truth. Enemy of truth. 22And who is the greatest liar? The one who says that Jesus is not Christ. Such a person is antichrist, for he does not believe in God the Father and in his Son.
26. 23For a person who doesn’t believe in Christ, God’s Son, can’t have God the Father either.
27. Is there any way you can believe in God without believing in the Son? You must believe in the Son, for without the Son, you cannot see the Father. Like I am here. You do not know who the Father is.
28. For you to know who the Father is, you must know who THE SON OF MAN is, for it is THE SON OF MAN that will lead you to the Father, because the Father you are looking for is dwelling in THE SON OF MAN. So, when you have seen THE SON OF MAN, there is no need looking for the Father.
29. 23For a person who doesn’t believe in Christ, God’s Son, can’t have God the Father either. Never! But he who has Christ, God’s Son, has God the Father also.
30. Once you have Christ [God’s Son], Christ [The Anointed One], the Messiah, the Human God, God made flesh; the moment you have Him, you have the invisible Father. If He comes into your house, that Great father is there in your house.
31. If you offer Him food, the Father is eating through Him. As the child in the womb eats through the mother, so the Father eats through the Son. Did you get the Message?
32. As the child you are carrying in the womb eats through the mother, so God eats the sacrifices and food through the mouth of the One in whom He dwells. The Personality He has chosen to tabernacle in.
33. There is no other way you can accept and admit God into your house if not through accepting and admitting the One He is using. If you reject Him, you have rejected no other Person but God. If you want to know the one that is a human being and the one that is God, it is all up to you.
34. He that was chosen and marked from His mother’s womb; it is said that you do not circumcise a boy child that is still in the womb, but God circumcised Him in the womb, anointed Him in the womb, brought Him out and gave Him to the world, if He is your Father, what are you? Are you not a child of God?
35. Children of the prophets are Prophets. If He turns out to be your husband, if you are asked to say who your husband is, what will you say? He is God. Period!
36. This is because He was already God before He married you. He was already God before ever you started having children with Him. Is it a lie Brethren? Whatever He is, He has been that thing from the very beginning. Amen.
37. 24So keep on believing what you have been taught from the beginning. What? …keep on believing what you have been taught from the beginning.
38. Keep on believing. Go ahead believing more and more the teachings and doctrines that were given to you from the very beginning. Do not ever abandon it. Hold on tightly to it.
39. Do not allow your husband to take it away from you. Do not allow your wife to take it away from you. Do not allow the condition you find yourself take it away from you.
40. Even if it is death, die inside it. If it is life, live inside it. If it is work, do it inside it. Have your children inside it. Train up your children inside it. Let whatever thing you are doing be done inside it. Do not ever abandon it.
41. Whether we are living or dying, it is in this all-important matter. Keep on believing, knowing the Source and that you know where you are getting it and the Personality who has said it. He is not a Personality that will be prophesied about. He has been prophesied. We have seen HIM. We equally believe.
42. 24So keep on believing what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will always be in close fellowship with both God the Father and his Son.
43. You will be what? In close “Fellowship”. You know what it takes to be in close fellowship. Close relationship. Nothing standing between you and God. What a wonderful privilege.
44. Brother Enemuo, where is your wife? She did not come today again? And she did not come here on Sunday. Where does she really work? The other day, you told Me she went to work. [Brother Ifeanyi answered, “Divine Mercy Hospital.”]
45. But you opened a chemist shop for her. Do you want her to be combining her work in the hospital with that of the chemist shop? She will still resign but not now?
46. This work that is greater than worshipping God and listening to the word of God, I am putting a question mark to it. When did she start this work? [Brother Ifeanyi answered, “February last year.”]
47. Last year. But she attends Fellowship steady. When did it get to the point that it prevents her from attending fellowship?
48. [Brother Ifeanyi answered, “There was an agreement I entered into with the doctor, but around October, there was a problem in the hospital and the agreement could not stand again.”] You should have withdrawn your wife from that day the agreement collapsed.
49. Brethren, when the baby for which cause a baby-sitter was employed dies, what will the baby-sitter do? Ok! Will she stay there until the woman of the house gets pregnant again and have another child so that the baby-sitter will have a baby to carry about.
50. Am I pleading with you? Does your life belong to Me? Do I know why you came in here?
51. 24So keep on believing what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will always be in close fellowship with both God the Father and his Son.
52. God the Father and His Son, are they different? [Isaiah 9:6] Maybe you think there is a place where the Father is and the Son is somewhere. Were two rooms built for Him? Do not worry!
53. 25And he himself has promised us this: eternal life. HE HIMSELF. GOD HIMSELF has promised us what? Remember the Message said, “God has given us eternal life.” This eternal life is where? In His Son.
54. He has given us knowledge that you may know He that is true. We are in HIM that is true. Even in His son Christ, who is the true God and eternal life. [1 John 5:20]
55. 26These remarks of mine about the Antichrist are pointed at those who would early love to blindfold you and lead you astray.
56. These remarks of mine… This Word which I speak to you are about those who are against God and the truth, those who have made it impossible for the Word of God to be active in the lives of the children of God.
57. They are coming from anywhere. They are even in your midst. Listen that you may hear what was said concerning it.
58. These remarks of mine about the Antichrist are pointed at those who would early love to blindfold you… They will approach you with false love originally and with that, they will make you blind …and lead you astray.
59. They will use false love. He or she will never approach you as if he or she hates you. It said, at the initial stage, such a fellow will approach you with love and you will think that you are with the person.
60. He will be giving you suggestions, but turns out to be another Okey Nwamkpa. He will shape his mouth and bless you, “Bless you. God bless you” and even prostrate before you. You will not know that the person you are having dealings with is a devouring lion in sheep clothing.
61. It is said initially, they will come with false love to blindfold you so that when they will begin to unfold their intentions, it will be horrible. By then, it has become too late, for you have strayed far away with him.
62. These remarks of mine about the Antichrist are pointed at those who would EARLY LOVE TO BLINDFOLD YOU AND LEAD YOU ASTRAY.
63. 27But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, in your hearts, so that you don’t need anyone to teach you what is right.
64. For he teaches you all things, and he is the Truth, and no liar; and so, just as he has said, YOU MUST LIVE IN CHRIST, NEVER TO DEPART FROM HIM.
65. Is it in compliance with the Book of Enoch and even the Holy Qur’an? What is that Holy Spirit? The Word I speak to you, they are life; they are Spirit. [John 6:63] Thy Word have I hid in My heart that I may not sin against Thee. [Psalms 119:11]
66. When you accumulate the Message of Christ in your heart, Colossians 3:16 said, “Let the Word spoken by Christ have its home in your heart.”
67. Then the Spirit is at home in your heart, guiding, instructing, protecting, sifting every information [Hebrews 4:12 AMP], placing them where they belong to, discerning every Spirit. Why? The Word of God is at home in his heart.
68. I do not care about the temptations and the trials that may come. From that bank, THE WORD BANK, God will lift up a standard by reminding you what the Word said concerning that condition. And the moment you apply it, your soul will have rest. You calm down the tempest.
69. There is no man that does not have occasion for tempest to rise in his heart. But where the Word is not there to lift up a standard, your boat can capsize.
70. 28And now, my little children, stay in happy fellowship with the Lord so that when he comes you will be sure that all is well and will not have to be ashamed and shrink back from meeting him.
71. Amen. This was the prophecy. They were worshipping in anticipation. That He that promised He will come, will surely come. And when He will come, because you are in close fellowship, friendly Fellowship with Him, friendly relationship, you will never be ashamed meeting Him. Amen.
72. 29Since we know that GOD IS ALWAYS GOOD AND DOES ONLY RIGHT,… But the anti-Christ will always find fault with Christ. The anti-Christ is known for one thing. Always right in his own sight. …..we may rightly assume that all those who do right are his children.
73. All that do right are God’s own children. Amen. All that do wrong, do they belong to God? I am telling you that they were preaching, preparing the people, prophesying as prophets in anticipation of the coming Messiah.
You have seen Brother Peter Odoemena. You have seen the Lord. Believe in the Lord, whether Jesus Christ, whether Elohim, whether Jehovah. Believe also in Apostle Peter Odoemena, for there is no way you can see God without going through Him. As long as this dispensation of grace is concerned, that is alloted to THE SON OF MAN in this our own day, as many as have been longing to see the Father cannot see Him in any other place if not through Him (APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA). “In your day, I AM THE WAY, I AM THE TRUTH, I AM THE LIFE.” Nobody ever can see the face of the Almighty without passing through Me.” Nobody can see the face of the Almighty as long as this Age is concerned in the whole world without passing through THE SON OF MAN.

AN UNBELIEVER IS A BURDEN
TO HIMSELF
1 Corinthians 13:12-13 LB. Give Me audience there as I read. I know many might be murmuring against Me, trying to tell Me whether I do not know that tomorrow is the first day of the week as if they are the greatest worshippers.
1. You worship more than THE SON OF MAN. What is the essence of your worship? Am I not here? If you have your own day, God has every day. God has every hour; every minute. Are you sure you will live to see tomorrow?
2. Sister Amobi! You were the one reminding us that your husband’s death will clock 6 months by January. And I told you to be careful, for you do not know whether you will see February.
3. Can you see a man who buried his junior brother in November now in the mortuary? So if there is anything you are planning for February, be very careful. Are you planning to remarry? Is your body scratching you? You are looking for a man who will be lying in the bed with you. Thou knowest.
4. In my own area, it is one year and not six months. So you know why you are reminding us. But I am sure that February is still too far. Tomorrow is still too far. So whatever you are planning is in you. When you are leaving the town and running to your home town, you know.
5. If you want to remarry, well, I will not stop you because it is your right if your children will permit you to remarry. After all, they are females. But I pray, when you will remarry, marry people who will take care of you. Amen.
6. That reminder you were giving us has a lot of connotations. I discussed it with the Elders for I cannot understand. This generation is the worst generation. If it is possible, they will remove mourning of the dead so that the living will have absolute freedom.
7. 1 Corinthians 13:12 – 13. 12In the same way, we can see and understand only a little about God now,… You see, in the days of saint Paul, they could see; they could understand just a little about God as if they are watching God in a mirror.
8. To them, everything about God were mere imaginary cases they built around him. It was hazy. It was not very clear.
9. 12In the same way, we can see and understand only a little about God now, as if we were peering at his reflection in a poor mirror; but someday…
10. But someday! Paul, Apostle, Prophet and teacher to the Gentile has prophesied, “But someday”.
11. ….but someday, we are going to see him in his completeness, face-to-face. Alleluia! We will see HIM in HIS completeness, face-to-face.
12. Now all that I know is hazy and blurred, but then I will see everything clearly, just as clearly as God sees into my heart right now. Amen.
13. When that time comes, I will see HIM clearly just as Christ is seeing my heart right now. Nobody will be imagining that God is like this or that God is like that or He is a black man; He is a yellow man or He is a red man. We will see HIM live, face-to-face.
14. If I am telling you that He is a man, I will also tell you that He is a short man with potbelly. I will tell you both His age, His height and the nature of His eyes.
15. You will tell Me, “I have seen him. I have handled Him, heard Him speak; ate and drank with Him.” Is it hazy? Is it like an image I am seeing in a poor mirror?
16. So do not forget the fact that the Man we are talking about was born in King David’s family as a man and is Himself God, Whom saint Paul was seeing that time as a hazy picture likened to the reflection in a mirror, believing that someday, it will cease from being a reflection and he [Paul] will see Him live, face-to-face. You talk to Him and He talks back to you. Sure!
17. William Branham said, “Nobody is saved until he is privileged to see God the same way Moses saw Him, face-to-face. You talk to Him, he talks back to you.” Go to the mirror and talk. The picture in the mirror will not talk to you.
18. But this God will not be like the one in the mirror. Line! Physical! You talk and He will talk. You can reason together with Him. He can say, “Brethren, come let us reason together.”
19. 13There are three things that remain—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. Amen.
20. I am showing you the picture. John saw the picture and prophesied it. Paul saw and prophesied it. But today, the prophecies have come to pass.
21. You see why William Branham said, “The generation that will be privileged to see Christ appearing in the midst of the bride in human form, that is the group. That is the group that will go to rapture. That is the Elect Lady. That is the Elect Lady, dressed in His Word from head to toe.”
22. He said, “They know no ISM. The do not act until it is Thus saith the LORD, for the Living God will live among them in human form.” If He does not live with you in human form, how can you be hearing from Him. Amen.
23. I go back to Scriptures again. Give Me 1 John 3: 1 – 20. Living Bible. 1See how very much our heavenly Father loves us,… Do you know He loves you? Do you know he loves you? Then who hates you? You hate yourself. Who hates you? You hate yourself.
24. You are the one that is stubborn to yourself. When a man is stubborn to God, he is stubborn to himself. You say that God does not exist, you mean you do not exist. Amen.
25. WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE CREATING A PROBLEM FOR GOD, YOU ARE CREATING A PROBLEM FOR YOURSELF. YES! THIS IS BECAUSE AN UNBELIEVER IS A BURDEN TO HIMSELF. YOU CAN NEVER BE A BURDEN TO GOD. YOU ARE A BURDEN TO YOURSELF.
26. 1See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children… He did what? …he allows us to be called his children…
27. Who am I? Who are you that Almighty God allowed you to be called His own child. The Creator of Heaven and earth. Look at the Being the world does not know.
28. The world does not know Him. And they do not know who His children are. Why? They do not know who He is. What they think of Him is not what He is. How they think he will look like is not what He looks like. And what they think the children will look like is completely away from their thinking.
29. Remember that it is what a man is thinking that he will be expecting. Is it not true? You are expecting what you are thinking. If what appears is contrary to your thinking, you can hardly believe it. Amen.
30. 1See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children—think of it—and we really are!
31. Which means we are not impersonating. We are not claiming what we are not. All of us are enjoying conferred son-ship. True or false? Who conferred it on us? Who is adequate to remove it?
32. But since most people don’t know God, naturally they don’t understand that we are his children. What? …since most people don’t know God, naturally they don’t understand that we are his children.
33. Why do they not know God? Because God has not revealed Himself to them. Cast your minds back before you came into this Faith. What you met here that is answering God, was it what you were taught. Was it what you were having in mind?
34. The person you told that God is a man and he does not believe, will he then believe when you show him the Man?
35. …since most people don’t know God,… Most people do not know God. Underline it in your heart that your parents do not know God. Your relations do not know God. For the fact that they do not know God, they are all idolaters.
36. I do not care how compassionate you are. You must part ways. You must part ways or you compromise and go with them. You either part ways or go with them. Period.
37. …But since most people don’t know God, naturally they don’t understand that we are his children.
38. How can they understand that we are God’s children? The appearance of the son brings back the memory of his father. How can the person that does not know God know His children? The people such a fellow knows as the children of God are churchgoers, “Children of God!!! Praise the Lord. Play music unto the Lord? Dance for God.”
39. They will be making noise up and down. They will keep telling you that God’s children are many. Where have you seen the children of God. God’s children are scanty. I say, scanty. Handpicked. But church people are a multitude. Church people are a multitude.
40. So, find out where you belong to. Look into yourself. May be you are among the church people sitting down here, thinking that your body will be glorified tomorrow. Well, unless there is another God, but not the One in Me.
41. 2Yes, dear friends, WE ARE ALREADY GOD’S CHILDREN, RIGHT NOW,… WE ARE ALREADY GOD’S CHILDREN RIGHT NOW. Will My testis break into pieces if I say it? I have told you that I am a child of God right now. Unless there is something being queried in your life, for which cause you were told to look into your life, and then tell yourself the truth.
42. If you are living the life of obedience, you know. If there is still a fragment of the spirit of disobedience in you, you know.
43. 2Yes, dear friends, we are already God’s children, right now, and we can’t even imagine what it is going to be like later on. But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him,…
44. When He is revealed, [and that was then]. But now He has arrived. We will not expect to see a fowl or a goat or a horse. We are not expecting to see a cow. WE WILL SEE NOTHING BUT A HUMAN BEING LIKE US, WEARING OUR LOOK.
45. BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN ABOUT THIS MATTER. THIS PERSON WHO WAS EXPECTED TO COME AND WHO IS GOD IS EQUALLY A HUMAN BEING. WE WILL SEE HIM, FOR HE SHALL BE LIKE US. BRETHREN, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY.
46. Nicodemus came to Jesus and said, “We all know that God sent you to us to help us know that which is the truth.” [John 3:1 – 2]
Now, you have seen HIM. You have known HIM. It becomes a burden, a responsibility for you to develop your own personal approach to HIM. It now behooves on you to develop your own personal approach to HIM, for the time of ignorance, HE overlooked.

GOD HAS BEEN A MAN
But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him, as a result of seeing him as he really is. If you know another picture you want, tell Me.
1. I HAVE SHOWN YOU THE ORIGINAL BODY. I HAVE MANIFESTED HIM. If you know that thing which you want, thou knoweth. Whatever thing you are looking for other than what I have manifested, check your Scriptures, it is not there. Check the Qur’an, it is not there. Check the Holy Prophets, nobody prophesied another thing than what I have manifested.
2. What William Branham saw is THIS MAN. Prophet Muhammad, THIS MAN. Paul, THIS MAN. Peter, THIS MAN. Moses, THIS MAN. Joshua, THIS MAN. Abraham, THIS MAN. Isaac, THIS MAN. Jacob, THIS MAN. What else are you looking for?
3. When Jacob wrestled with someone, did he [Jacob] say he wrestled with a goat? HE [JACOB] WRESTLED WITH A MAN. A FELLOW MAN. This is because it was a man versus his fellow man. He lifted Him and threw Him on the ground and the other turned and lifted him and threw him also on the ground. [Genesis 32:24 – 30] It was a man versus his fellow man.
4. I know there is someone you are expecting to be God when He will come, but the Word of God testified of that which is the Truth.
5. I know what is deceiving you. “There will be wind; a strong wind. Rocks will be broken into pieces. The moon will fall from its original position and stars will fall from the sky.”
6. Another one is this. “Where he will step and walk on shall be streets of gold.” It is like expecting a horse that shall have ten horns. Is it not what the Bible said? It is going to be a horse with ten horns. As many as ten horns! My people perish because of lack of knowledge. [Hosea 4:6] They err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. [Matthew 22:29]
7. But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him, as a result of seeing him as he really is.
8. 3And everyone who really believes this will try to stay pure because Christ is pure. Everyone that believes this report MUST try to stay pure, for Christ is pure. Your heart must be pure. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. [Matthew 5:8]
9. If your heart is not pure, you cannot see God. You will be seeing the devil. This is because when the heart is dirty, your vision is dirty. Yes now! This is because your perception is coloured by whatever you are seeing. Is it a lie Brethren?
10. Whatever you are perceiving Me to be will be the colour you will be painting in your brain. And that is what you will be expecting
11. 4But those who keep on sinning are against God,… Those who keep on sinning and who go ahead in unbelief, they are the people that are against God. …for every sin is done against the will of God. Every unbelief [sin] is done against the will of God
12. 5And you know that HE BECAME A MAN so that he could take away our sins,… He did what? …BECAME A MAN… GOD BECAME A MAN. Brethren, what is actually our problem?
13. You see why I said I will read Scriptures with you. I have even over-stepped the bounds. I said I will not talk, but I will read Scriptures and go away, BUT THE LOVE I HAVE FOR ONITSHA IS GREATER THAN MY STRICTNESS. Did you get the Message?
14. The love I have for Onitsha is greater than My strictness, for I wanted to be very strict, but love has compelled Me to relax the measure.
15. 5And you know that HE BECAME A MAN so that he could take away our sins,… You see why? If THE SON OF MAN shall set you free, you shall be free indeed.
16. The reason why He became a Man is to share in your infirmities, that He might be your succour. Having passed through your ordeal, He knows what you are passing through, for He is not left out. He is not living in another world. He is in the same world with you. Without Him, your sin abideth in you.
17. 5And you know that HE BECAME A MAN so that he could take away our sins, and that there is no sin in him,… Why? HE IS BORN TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. He is righteousness Himself. And righteousness can never depart from Him. [Ethiopic Book of Enoch 71:14]
18. And you are righteous only through Him. He is the One that has decided to make you righteous in His sight, so that tomorrow, you cannot say, “I have my own.”
19. You are having His own conferred righteousness. The same way, you have conferred son-ship, that you may conform to His image. [Romans 8:29] The same way you are conferred with His righteousness.
20. If he declares you holy, you are holy. He declares you righteous, you are righteous. He declares you perfect, you are perfect. Nobody can petition against it.
21. …and that there is no sin in him, no missing of God’s will at any time in any way.
22. 6So if we stay close to him,… God said, “This is the year you close ranks with God and with one another.” …obedient to him, we won’t be sinning either;… His presence already becomes our justification.
23. …but as for those who keep on sinning, they should realize this: They sin because they have never really known him or become his.
24. There was never a time they knew who he is. And there was never a time they became His. They are wandering on their own. They are on their own, living their own life and counting themselves righteous.
25. There may be something he is doing which he is priding himself about with, but he does not know that God does not know about that.
26. 7Oh, dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: if you are constantly doing what is good,… If you are constantly doing what God has approved …it is because you are good, even as he is. It shows you are good, even as God is good. On the contrary, you are evil.
27. 8But if you keep on sinning, it shows that you belong to Satan, who since he first began to sin has kept steadily at it. Amen! You belong to Satan. Who? Evidence is this: From the day Satan began to sin, he has ever remained sinning.
28. The Voice that has been roaring on his head has never stopped. After you had advised, no way. You quarrel, no way! You rebuke harshly, no way! As you try to address it, so it becomes worse. You do not need a prophet to tell you where such a fellow originated. God has given it a name. you belong to Satan.
29. You see why God said, “First and foremost, look into your own life. You examine your own life to know whether you are living a life of obedience to the Word of God or are you here as a churchgoer.”
30. I will not stop you. You will enjoy the Kingdom of God, but forget about the kingdom of heaven. Forget about eternal life. You just enjoy life here, and then you go away.
31. But the Son of God came to destroy these works of the devil. 9The person who has been born into God’s family does not make a practice of sinning because now God’s life is in him; so he can’t keep on sinning, for this new life has been born into him and controls him—he has been born again.
32. 10So now we can tell who is a child of God and who belongs to Satan. Whoever is living a life of sin and doesn’t love his brother shows that he is not in God’s family; 11for the message to us from the beginning has been that we should love one another.
33. 12We are not to be like Cain, who belonged to Satan and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing wrong and he knew very well that his brother’s life was better than his.
34. 13So don’t be surprised, dear friends, if the world hates you.14If we love other Christians, it proves that we have been delivered from hell and given eternal life. Amen!
35. But a person who doesn’t have love for others is headed for eternal death. 15Anyone who hates his Christian brother is really a murderer at heart; and you know that no one wanting to murder has eternal life within.
36. 16We know what real love is from Christ’s example in dying for us. And so we also ought to lay down our lives for our Christian brothers.
37. 17But if someone who is supposed to be a Christian has money enough to live well, and sees a brother in need, and won’t help him—how can God’s love be within him?
38. 18Little children, let us stop just saying we love people; let us really love them, and show it by our actions.
39. 19Then we will know for sure, by our actions, that we are on God’s side, and our consciences will be clear, even when we stand before the Lord.
40. 20But if we have bad consciences and feel that we have done wrong, the Lord will surely feel it even more, for he knows everything we do.
41. For He knows everything we do. If you do evil and continue in disobedience to God’s Word and command, and your conscience had never pricked you and is not pricking you, do not bother yourself again. It is a sure sign that you do not belong to God’s family. You do not have a part in the life that Christ gives.
42. Go and have enough of food and eat to your satisfaction just like a condemned criminal. The day you are executed you will give way with what you have eaten. Do not commit suicide, for if you commit suicide, you will have double suffering. Amen.
43. Before I will go, I will like to read another Scripture that will help all of us. 1 John 1:1 – 2. Living Bible.
44. 1Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen him with my own eyes and listened to him speak. I have touched him with my own hands. He is God’s message of life.
45. 2This one who is life from God has been shown to us, and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ, who is eternal Life. He was with the Father and then was shown to us.
Believe it if you can, I know the date if you do not know the date. No man knoweth the hour or the date or the day or time except My Father who is in heaven. Do you believe that? He that is in the bosom of the Father knows the mind of the Father. IF YOU HAVE SEEN ME, YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER, FOR THE FATHER DWELLETH IN ME. Believe it if you can, I and the Father are one. Yes! In the time of Jesus Christ, nobody knew Him, neither He Jesus Christ, because it was not given to them to know. However, THE SON OF MAN that is in the bosom of the Father knows the mind of the Father, knows the particular date. That is why when the time reaches, he will breeze into the sanctuary and say, “Brethren, this moment, the whole thing is all over.” We are not shaking. We are not afraid. We know everything.
BE ON THE RED ALERT; Preached on Sunday 30th September, 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 175 vs. 18 – 19

ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN ME, HAS SEEN THE FATHER
John 14. Living Bible, 1“Let not your heart be troubled. You are trusting God, now trust in me. 2-3 There are many homes up there where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming.
1. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you,… I will come and do what? …get you so that you can always be with me where I am. Now He has come, is it not a sign that everything is ready? And the Key has been discovered.
2. How many years have we stayed at the gate? We have been there for years now. Must we remain there? Good!
3. When everything is ready,… When I must have put you in rapturing order, I am sure I will now show you who I am. Everything is ready. I am saying that everything is ready
4. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, get you so that you can always be with me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would tell you plainly. 4 And you know where I am going and how to get there.”
5. 5“No, we don’t,” Thomas said. Can Thomas understand? How can he understand when he has always been absent? But I love his sincerity. Thomas said, “No! Let me speak for myself. I do not know where you are going. Explain it so that it will be clear to me.”
6. 5“No, we don’t,” Thomas said. “We haven’t any idea where you are going,… None of them knew anything about it. All of them were afraid of saying it. Now that Thomas has said, you will now see that others will say something.
7. “We haven’t any idea where you are going,… We do not know where you are going. We do not have the idea. Help us, so that when we look for you, we will know where to find you.
8. “We haven’t any idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6Jesus told him, “I am the Way—yes, and the Truth and the Life. No one can get to the Father EXCEPT BY MEANS OF ME.
9. 7If you had known who I am, then you would have known who my Father is. The appearance of a child brings back the memories of his father. If, from the very beginning, you knew who I am, you would have known who My Father is.
10. Is it not My Father that you have all along been looking for? And I told you to, first of all, believe in Me. Believe in My Father also, so that it will be complete. At last, you may even realize that this Father you have been looking for is no other personality than Myself.
11. Whenever you are ascending a staircase and you meet someone, salute the person very well, peradventure, you get to where you are going and find out that the person you are looking for is the very person you met at the staircase or the person you will be pointed to, who will solve your problem.
12. You are looking for God. There is no problem about it. He is coming. This is the truth. You saw the Son, but you want to see his Father and he said thus to you, “Okay. Wait for Him, he is coming.”
13. Those who know Him told you to go back, that the person you met is the very God and you are blindly insisting, “He is the son. He is the son of God.” Then, wait for God.
14. When the day begins to get dark, then you will know that you have bypassed Him without realizing it, simply because there is a God you are expecting to see and not this One.
15. 7If you had known who I am, then you would have known who my Father is. FROM NOW ON YOU KNOW HIM… Thomas, from now on, you know He who we are talking about. —AND HAVE SEEN HIM!” FROM NOW ON, YOU KNOW HIM AND YOU HAVE SEEN HIM.
16. WHO WAS STANDING BEFORE THOMAS. THE FATHER. WHO WAS STANDING BEFORE THOMAS? THE SON. FROM NOW THOMAS, YOU HAVE SEEN HIM AND YOU HAVE KNOWN HIM. SO, AS YOU ARE WALKING ALONG THE WAY, RELAX YOUR MIND. AMEN.
17. 8Philip said,… Did I not tell you that everybody was suppressing his feelings as if the only hungry person was Thomas? Immediately Thomas took garri, every other person started washing his hands immediately.
18. You now discover that those who were hungry were many. It now turns out to be the situation where the bleating of one goat brings about providing food for the rest of the goats. Amen.
19. Did you not see that there is somebody who asked a question about the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN? If any of those people that were murmuring, thinking that they knew it were told that the Person who will answer the question was on His way, they will not believe it.
20. And if I had not come, this battle will continue raging. There would have been so much confusion in a human being. Two versions would have gone home today. [1] Kelechi’s version and then [2] personal version.
21. Then another group will tell you to wait patiently, for they will meet with THE SON OF MAN this evening and ask Him the question.
22. 8Philip said, “Sir, show us the Father and we will be satisfied.” Who is the person to whom these question is directed? The same person Thomas was talking to. “Sir, please do not be offended. It is not that I do not believe. I understood what you told Thomas. Do not be angry with me. Please show us the Father and it will be enough for us.” Show us who this Father is and we shall be satisfied.
23. 9Jesus replied, “Don’t you even yet know who I am, Philip, even after all this time I have been with you? Philip! Are you the person asking this type of question? So you have not known who I am even after all this time that I have been with you.
24. Do you think that it is only Apostle Kelechi that does know what the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven mean, even with all the teachings of THE SON OF MAN? Philip! You do not equally know who I am after all these years that I have been with all of you.
25. “Don’t you even yet know who I am, Philip, even after all this time I have been with you? ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER!
26. Anyone, whether man or woman, who has seen Me has seen the Father. Do you want someone to take an oath for you? Unbelief is in human beings
27. ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER! So why are you asking to see him? Why are you demanding to see the Father? So, you do not believe that I am He. Is it because I tell you, “I am the Son of God and this and that.” He comes your way according to the level of your faith. Amen.
28. 10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? How many have believed this now? How many have believed this now that I am in the Father and the Father is also in Me? And in Me is the Father revealed; that you may believe that I AM HE.
29. If you read the Message of 26th December 2019, God said, “There is one amazing thing I have noticed among the Brethren. You can hardly hear them say, “God said or God told us.” It is very rare, and this is a sign of rejection.” [FOLLOW THE LORD’S RULE IN DOING HIS WORK; Preached on 26th December, 2019 at the Bridal Lodge Nsugbe; Pg. 53 vs. 6 – 7]
30. If they have really recognized the Messiah in their midst, nobody will ever be making the silly reference, “Daddy said”. This is because every statement from the mouth of God is THUS SAITH THE LORD, which means “THIS IS THE WHAT JEHOVAH HAS SAID.”
31. But all you will be hearing is, “Daddy said. Daddy said. Daddy told us.” And as long as Daddy is the one telling you what is happening, there is still argument in you. Backsliding is still in you. It is still difficult for you to say Amen. You still have what you want to say. WHEN GOD SPEAKS ON A MATTER, IT IS FINAL.
32. That is why, when Moses was God, there was no argument. Let other ministers be handling cases, but the moment it comes to the office of Moses, it is final.
33. The Supreme Court has given a ruling removing Emeka Ihedioha from the seat of the Governor of Imo State. Where do you appeal the judgment? It is final. Right or wrong, the Supreme Court cannot be wrong. Let lawyers join hands together and find faults, the supreme court can never be wrong. And the President of Nigeria cannot speak on a matter ruled by the supreme court. It is final!
34. If you know that thing which you got from your study of law, put it in your pocket. What we call all the faultfindings and the noise being made concerning the judgment is kitchen noise; domestic noise; medicine after death, for the ruling is irreversible.
35. IF IT IS LIKE THAT WITH A HUMAN SUPREME COURT, TELL ME WHO WILL UTTER A WORD AGAINST THE DIVINE SUPREME GOD. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO AVOID COMING THERE. LET ALL YOUR CASES END IN THE APPEAL COURT. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CASE TO PROCEED TO THE SUPREME OFFICE. AMEN.
36. 10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? THE WORDS I SAY ARE NOT MY OWN BUT ARE FROM MY FATHER WHO LIVES IN ME. What?
37. THE WORDS I SAY ARE NOT MY OWN BUT ARE FROM MY FATHER WHO LIVES IN ME.
38. There is not even one out of all that I have been telling you; all the teachings and doctrines I have been giving to you that is my own. They are all of My Father who lives in Me, whom you have seen and believed in, and whose dwelling place you also know.
39. So, when you are rebelling, you should know the Personality whose words you are rebelling against. When you are disobedient, you should know the Personality you are disobedient to His words. That you may know the destination where all the good and evil thoughts of your heart are taking you, for He knows all.
40. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT YOUR HEART IS PURE BEFORE GOD AND BEFORE ONE ANOTHER SO THAT YOU DO NOT FALL UNDER CONDEMNATION.
41. The words I say are not my own but are from my father who lives in me. AND HE DOES HIS WORK THROUGH ME. He does what? HE DOES HIS WORK THROUGH ME. He does what? HE DOES HIS WORK THROUGH ME.
42. He does His work through Me. I am the instrument which the father works with. I am the One He will use to do everything He wants done so that it will be witnessed.
43. Even if He wants to kill anybody I am the One He will use. If He wants to raise a dead person, I am the One He will use to do it. If He want to heal the sick I am the One He will use to accomplish it.
44. Even if He wants to save, I am the One that will do the salvation work. Whatever thing He wants to do, I am the Instrument He will use to do it.
45. 11Just believe it—that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Just believe it if you can. I am in the father. The Father is in Me. Until THE SON OF MAN appeared revealing all these things, which he did not do immediately He appeared, He started teaching and it took many years.
46. Even before then, were you seeing all these things. In all the churches you have attended, have you seen any of these supernatural manifestations there? Were they given as teaching, talk less of seeing it with your eyes? Does any of them know who He is?
47. Won’t you be jumping up that God never allowed you to go astray. You strayed away before now, but He brought you back from where you had strayed far away
48. 11Just believe it—that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or else believe it because of the mighty miracles you have seen me do.
49. 12-13“In solemn truth I tell you, anyone believing in me shall do the same miracles I have done, and even greater ones, because I am going to be with the Father.
50. You can ask him for anything, using my name, and I will do it, for THIS WILL BRING PRAISE TO THE FATHER BECAUSE OF WHAT I, THE SON, WILL DO FOR YOU.
51. Whatever you are asking from God and whatever you are requesting from God, He will do it through the Son, who He has presented before you as a human being templing God.
52. 14Yes, ask anything, using my name, and I will do it! 15-16“IF YOU LOVE ME, OBEY ME; and I will ask the Father and he will give you another Comforter, AND HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU.
53. 17He is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit who leads into all truth. The world at large cannot receive HIM,… The world can never receive HIM. A MAN is the personality prophesied here. HE will be your comforter. HE will be with you till the end of all things. The people of the world will never receive HIM.
54. THE WORLD AT LARGE CANNOT RECEIVE HIM, FOR IT ISN’T LOOKING FOR HIM AND DOESN’T RECOGNIZE HIM. Amen. Even if they see HIM, they will not recognize HIM. UNRECOGNIZED MESSIAH AMONG MEN. NOT THE TYPE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.
55. When Jesus came to the Jews, was his type of God the one they were looking for? They were looking for a King that will redeem them from the colonial hands of the Romans. He now came and told them that HIS Kingdom is not of this world and they got frustrated.
56. The world at large cannot receive him, for it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you do,… But what? But you do,… Not all of you. Referring to the few. The Elect.
57. BUT YOU DO, FOR HE LIVES WITH YOU NOW AND SOMEDAY SHALL BE IN YOU. 18No, I will not abandon you or leave you as orphans in the storm—I will come to you.
58. 19In just a little while I will be gone from the world, but I will still be present with you. Amen.
59. For I will live again,—and you will too. A little while, I will be cut off from the whole world, but I will live among you. The world seeth Me not, but you will see Me.
60. 20WHEN I COME BACK TO LIFE AGAIN,… RESURRECTED BODY. …you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21The one who obeys me is the one who loves me; and because he loves me, my Father will love him; and I will too, and I will reveal myself to him.”
61. 22Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but his other disciple with that name) said to him, “Sir, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us disciples and not to the world at large?”
62. 23Jesus replied, “Because I will only reveal myself to those who love me and obey me. I will only reveal Myself as God to those who love and obey Me.
63. If you do not love and obey God, He will never reveal Himself to you as God. You will always be seeing Him as a mere man like yourself. And none of His word will be effective in your life till eternity. This is because He did not call you for salvation.
64. If God called you for salvation, you will be numbered among those that will love, appreciate and obey Him.
65. The Father will love them too, and we will come to them and live with them. 24 Anyone who doesn’t obey me doesn’t love me. And remember, I am not making up this answer to your question! It is the answer given by the Father who sent me. Amen.
66. Who is replying. Remember, I am not the One replying to this question, this question is being entertained by My Father who sent Me. So there is no other way you can hear the Voice of the Father if not through the Voice of the Son; the Son of His pleasure.
67. You see why we have the Message, HEAR YE HIM. Hear ye Him, for this is My Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye Him.
The time of that ignorance God overlooked, when people were supposing Him to look this or like that. Now, He has made Himself plain. Anybody that continues to suppose that God is like this or like that, that is unbelief. Accept him as He is. If a man introduces Himself to you, and you do not believe his introduction, do you know Him more than Himself? …. I will talk to you about the perfection of God. If I am perfect, God is perfect. If I am not perfect, God is not perfect. But you must know the meaning of perfection and know the angle from which God views perfection.

I HAVE FINALLY SEEN
MY FAULT
I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. 26 But when the Father sends the Comforter instead of me — and by the Comforter I mean the Holy Spirit—HE WILL TEACH YOU MUCH, as well as remind you of everything I myself have told you.
1. 27“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
2. 28REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU—I AM GOING AWAY, BUT I WILL COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN. If you really love me, you will be very happy for me, for now I can go to the Father, who is greater than I am.
3. 29I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do, you will believe in me. Amen. Have they happened?
4. 30“I don’t have much more time to talk to you, for the evil prince of this world approaches. He has no power over me, 31but I will freely do what the Father requires of me so that the world will know that I love the Father. COME, LET’S BE GOING.
5. Thank you very much. That is the much I want to share with you. But I will not leave you unbalanced.
6. Concerning the recent hail storm that fell 2 days ago judging Pakistan, killing hundreds of people and demolishing buildings, houses and so on, including animals, I know many of you got astonished. You may know about the earthquakes and things like that.
7. Let us see it. Exodus 9:18 – 28. Living Bible. And then Pharaoh, who hardened his heart against the truth, came to the realization that truth has no substitute. He now took sides with God.
8. Exodus 9:18 – 28. Living Bible. 18 Well, tomorrow about this time I will send a hailstorm across the nation such as there has never been since Egypt was founded! 19 Quick! Bring in your cattle from the fields, for every man and animal left out in the fields will die beneath the hail!”’”
9. 20 Some of the Egyptians, terrified by this threat, brought their cattle and slaves in from the fields; 21BUT THOSE WHO HAD NO REGARD FOR THE WORD OF JEHOVAH left them out in the storm.
10. This is because they thought Moses was a man like them. You might be here, but from your actions, utterances and decisions, you have no regard for the Word of Jehovah because of the personality He is using to talk to you simply because you felt He made a mistake in His choice. He would have chosen you.
11. And for that reason, you are not a part of what God is doing in your day. You are cut off. This is because any day God uses a personality you never expected to be in the Godhead or even your outright enemy as His divine instrument, you are lost, especially when you have made up your mind like Haman.
12. Haman thought he will be the one to be honoured by the King. Was it not that same day that Haman was sent to his grave? He was already dead before he was hanged. [Esther 6:1 – 9]
13. 21BUT THOSE WHO HAD NO REGARD FOR THE WORD OF JEHOVAH left them out in the storm. They refused to obey.
14. 22Then Jehovah said to Moses, “Point your hand toward heaven and cause the hail to fall throughout all Egypt,…
15. This was so that the unbelievers; stubborn, obstinate, intransigent stony hearts will now believe the Word of Jehovah through the mouth of His Servant, Moses. Then, hail storm started falling.
16. 22Then Jehovah said to Moses, “Point your hand toward heaven and cause the hail to fall throughout all Egypt, upon the people, animals, and trees.”
17. 23So Moses held out his hand, and the Lord sent thunder and hail and lightning. 24It was terrible beyond description. Never in all the history of Egypt had there been a storm like that.
18. 25All Egypt lay in ruins. Everything left in the fields, men and animals alike, was killed, and the trees were shattered and the crops were destroyed. Just like what happened in Pakistan 2 days ago.
19. 26THE ONLY SPOT IN ALL EGYPT WITHOUT HAIL THAT DAY WAS THE LAND OF GOSHEN WHERE THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL LIVED. You see what God did? He severed His people, protected the land of Goshen where God’s people lived. If there be any Israeli or Jew that was killed, it will be somebody like Shadrach Onah who loves jumping out the the Camp, wondering to places the love of God can never reach and bless him.
20. All Israelis were in Goshen. And God made a demarcation between Goshen and the rest of the nation of Egypt. He visited them with judgment.
21. 27Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. Hear Pharaoh’s confession now. The man that has refused to obey. Who is that your God that I do not know? [Exodus 5:2] Hear his confession. Who no know, go know.
22. Are you not the Pharaoh in our midst who is very recalcitrant? You can only do that which you want to do. You are greater than the Word of God. You are competing with moses. Look at what happened now.
23. “I FINALLY SEE MY FAULT,” he confessed. I have finally seen my fault. Have you seen that Pharaoh is better than some people. There is somebody who, after you must have talked to him or her, will say that you hate him or her. Even if the person is dying, he or she can never see his or her faults.
24. But the Pharaoh you are condemning, calling “Pharaoh of Egypt”, a day came when he knelt down and said, “I HAVE FINALLY SEEN MY FAULT.”
25. CAN YOU SAY SO BEFORE GOD? WHEN YOU LOOK INTO YOUR OWN SELF, CAN YOU SEE YOUR FAULTS? ARE YOU AN EXPERT IN SEEING OTHER PEOPLE’S FAULT WITHOUT SEEING YOUR OWN FAULTS?
26. WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING INTO YOURSELF, WHO DO YOU SEE? DO YOU SEE THE SON OF MAN? DO YOU SEE CLEMENT AND CHIME, OR ARE YOU SEEING YOURSELF?
27. Pharaoh did not see any other person. Pharaoh saw himself. With his stony heart, the LORD has done something astonishing. He was overwhelmed with fear. His might as Pharaoh was nowhere near this one. There is a male Pharaoh and there is also a female Pharaoh.
28. Exodus 9:25 – 27, Good News Bible. 25All over Egypt the hail struck down everything in the open, including all the people and all the animals. It beat down all the plants in the fields and broke all the trees. 26The region of Goshen, where the Israelites lived, was the only place where there was no hail.
29. 27The king sent for Moses and Aaron and said, “This time I have sinned; the Lord is in the right, and my people and I are in the wrong. There is another one that said, “Jehovah is right and I am wrong.”
30. Exodus 9:27. Living Bible.27Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. “I finally see my fault,” he confessed. “Jehovah is right,…
31. Why did you not read it before? You jumped it. Why should you jump such a great Scripture?
32. We are talking about a man with stony heart and stiff-necked and who was challenging God’s authority, and refusing Moses words because he thought he was co-equal with Moses. He hated God and hated God’s people.
33. Now, judgment came because of his willful disobedience. Many have died. Animals died. Human beings died. Destruction everywhere.
34. He ran to the people he hated. He came to them, “Moses! Aaron! Please, please, please! I have at last seen my fault. Now, I have seen what Jehovah was saying about my life.”
35. All along, he had been justifying himself. When God said, “Look into your own life”, can you come up with this level of truth by telling God, “I have seen my fault, for God does not speak in vain?”
36. 27Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. “I finally see my fault,” he confessed. “JEHOVAH IS RIGHT,…
37. This is because that was Jehovah speaking to him through Moses, placing a sign. JEHOVAH IS RIGHT, BUT I AM WRONG. Who can make this type of statement in our midst?
38. Pharaoh will rise up in judgment to condemn many of us, for we are always justifying ourselves even when we are in error.
39. We are always looking for defense to defend all forms of illegalities, thinking that we are fooling God. Man is wicked to himself.
40. Look at Pharaoh! I have seen my fault. Like I was talking to Bro Ifeanyi Enemuo. Have you seen your fault? So, God is right but you are wrong.
41. Today, many of you are faulting God. Many of you say that God is an evil man and that God is the one in error and that you are right.
42. 27Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. “I FINALLY SEE MY FAULT,” he confessed. “JEHOVAH IS RIGHT, AND I AND MY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WRONG ALL ALONG.
43. 28 Beg God to end this terrifying thunder and hail,… Is this the same God he never wanted to listen to? Beg God! Beg God! Close the Bible.
44. Please beg God so that this terrible affliction will cease. It is enough. Tell Him “Please! Please!”, for this suffering has become too much.
45. But I thought you were one that is so obstinate and you say that there is no God? Who is that your God that I know not? Now your knees have touched the ground.
46. There are too many Pharaoh’s here who are waiting until calamity will befall them because of their iniquities, before they will speak the truth to themselves. The Bible says that God loves a man who speaks the truth to himself from the inward part.
47. If we had behaved like Pharaoh today, tomorrow may be a better day. But if we harden our hearts, well, we will be like Nebuchadnezzar. We will eat the grasses in the forest.
48. I invite the Pastor to come and take the microphone. Thank you for giving me audience. I deliberately overstayed. I deliberately overstayed, for I decided to use you to make tapes for the whole world.
49. And I deliberately decided that when I dismiss you, nobody will go to business again, unless a Judas.
50. It is from here to where you buy your small food in the small markets around, go home and prepare for tomorrow. Thank you!
