PREACHED ON SUNDAY, 26TH APRIL 2020 32nd Anniversary of The Son of Man’s Marriage @ THE BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE AGELESS BEING
MANY THINK THAT CLOTHING THEMSELVES WITH DIFFERENT CLOTHES IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. NO! THE REAL CLOTHING IS CLOTHING YOURSELF WITH SPIRITUAL CLOTHING. WOE UNTO HE THAT DOES NOT WANT TO MAKE THE WORD OF GOD HIS COVERING. IN THIS FAITH, WE WANT TO BE WRAPPED WITH THE WORD OF GOD. EVERY TRUE CHILD OF GOD MUST BE COVERED BY
THE SPIRIT OF GOD. ANYBODY THAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS NAKED BEFORE GOD.

THE UNWELCOMED CHRIST OF ALL THE AGES [1]
1. You can be seated. The flesh is weak, but the spirit is still very strong. I did not sleep well. My stomach disturbed Me yesterday. Nevertheless, God has taken control.
2. While we live, it is our responsibility. We cannot dodge to serve God with whatever that remains in us as life.
3. Some people died while playing football. They played their football, [1] to make money, and [2] to make a name for themselves or for their nations.
4. And whoever that dies while serving his nation is regarded as one that died in active service. And the nation shows keen interest in his death because, while he was alive, he was serving the nation without reservation.
5. Often times, great provisions are made by the nation concerning his family, of how they will be taken care of in his absence. Why? They recognized his contribution to the wealth of the nation. So it is.
6. IT IS BETTER FOR ME TO DIE WHILE SERVING THE LORD SO THAT HEAVEN, AS A NATION, WILL RECOGNIZE MY CONTRIBUTION AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME, AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF THOSE THAT WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.
7. THIS IS BECAUSE THE PERSON OR NATION WHOSE INTEREST YOU ARE SERVING IS WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO GET WHATEVER MIGHT BE YOUR REWARD.
8. IF YOU ARE SERVING THE DEVIL AND HIS KINGDOM, TRULY SPEAKING, YOUR REWARD IS COMING FROM THERE. IF YOU ARE SERVING THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND HIS KINGDOM, YOUR REWARD IS COMING FROM THERE.
9. SO, IT IS BETTER FOR ONE TO DIE IN ACTIVE SERVICE. AND ACTIVE SERVICE MEANS SERVING THE LORD. AND THEN, THE LORD WILL SHOW INTEREST IN EVERYTHING CONCERNING YOU.
10. While we live, we dedicate our lives to God and to God alone;Our services to God and to God alone. So, whatever strength is left in us, must be used to serve the Lord.
11. Then, if you hate the LORD because you have your own lord; If we have God, there are also gods. For the Bible said, “Are there gods? Many! But to us, children of God, we have only but one God and one LORD.” [1 Corinthians 8:5 – 6]
12. THE LORD, HE IS THE GOD. [DEUTERONOMY 7:9; PSALMS 100:3] AND THAT IS THE ONE WE ARE SERVING. THE GREAT GOD THAT CREATED THE WHOLE UNIVERSE. THE ONLY GOD THAT IS ETERNAL.
13. THE ONLY GOD THAT REIGNS FOREVER AND EVER. THE ONLY GOD THAT IS ALIVE FOREVERMORE. THE ONLY GOD THAT HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYERS.
14. THE ONLY GOD THAT SHOWS INTEREST IN THE AFFAIRS OF HIS CHILDREN. THE ONLY GOD THAT PARDONS INIQUITY. THE ONLY GOD IN WHOMDWELLETH IMMORTALITY. THAT IS THE GOD WE ARE SERVING.
15. So, we are here this morning to lift up His name. And His name is nothing but the Word of God.
16. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God. That Word was God. [John 1:1] And the Word later became a human being, flesh and blood so that we might be saved, and in order to show us a perfect example of what is expected of us. [John 1:14]
17. IF THE WORD NEVER BECAME FLESH, EVERYBODY IS FREE TO WORSHIP GOD AS HE OR SHE DESIRES, FOR THERE WILL NOT BE ANY RULE. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY GUIDE. BUT THE WORD BECAME FLESH, BECAME A HUMAN BEING LIKE US. IS IT SCRIPTURE?
18. In the book of Hebrew 2 verse 12 – 14, it says, “Since God’s children are human beings, God also became a human being”, for only as a human being can He come here and show us a living example, for God lives by example.
19. If He is not a human being, can we hear Him? Can we see Him? Can we emulate His footsteps? He came to show us the way to Paradise.
20. If He had remained the Sovereign Spirit that is unseen, nobody will be queried for worshipping Him according to the desires of his or her heart.
21. BUT NOW, WE DO NOT WORSHIP GOD ACCORDING TO OUR OWN DESIRES. WE WORSHIP GOD ACCORDING TO HIS WILL. IF YOU DO NOT DO IT ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, YOU ARE DOING HIM A SERVICE, HEAR ME VERY WELL, OUTSIDE HIS WILL.
22. THAT IS WHY WHATEVER SERVICE YOU ARE RENDERING TO GOD MUST BE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE WILL OF GOD.
23. WHAT YOU ARE DOING, IS IT ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD? IF IT IS NOT ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD, YOU ARE DOING IT OUTSIDE THE WILL OF GOD. YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING IT FOR GOD BUT IGNORANTLY, YOU ARE REVERENCING THE DEVIL.
24. It is upon this backdrop that we see people worshipping the devil ignorantly. Yet, they are in the church, hearing the Word, but going astray, worshipping amiss, worshipping something they know not.
25. YOU CAN BE IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE SAINTS. YET, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO GOD IS. NO MATTER HOW HE INTRODUCES HIMSELF TO YOU, YOU ARE STILL HAVING YOUR DOUBTS.
26. YOU MAY NOT EXPRESS IT WITH YOUR MOUTH BUT YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD HIS WORD, YOUR RESPONSE TOWARD HIS INSTRUCTION WILL REVEAL TO ALL THAT KNOW HIM THAT REALLY, YOU HAVE NOT YET RECOGNIZED HIM AS GOD.
27. YOU ARE STILL EQUATING YOURSELF WITH GOD, FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO HIS INSTRUCTION SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
28. IF HE IS GOD WHO DEMANDS THAT ALL FLESH SHOULD BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, IS THERE ANY OPTION? IS THERE ANY OPTION? ANY NEGOTIATION? THE IDEA OF HAVING YOUR WAY DOES NOT ARISE.
29. IF YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS THE PERSON THAT BROUGHT YOU INTO EXISTENCE, YOU RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING TODAY IS THE LOVE OF THIS MAN THAT BROUGHT YOU FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING, AND YOU RECOGNIZE WHO HE IS, HIS WORD WILL BE MAKING POSITIVE IMPACT IN YOUR LIFE.
30. YOUR RESPONSE TO HIS WORD WILL CONVINCE HIM THAT YOU HAVE COME TO THE RECOGNITION OF WHO HE IS.
31. REMEMBER THAT THE GOD WE ARE SERVING IS AN UNRECOGNIZED GOD TO MANY. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE GATHERING IN THE FELLOWSHIP WITH US, THEY ARE YET TO RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS GOD.
32. If you ask them whether they have seen God, their reply will be, “There is one man they say is God. I know Him. There is one man that says He is God. I know Him, but I have not proved Him to be God.”
33. This is because such a fellow has something in him which he will be using to prove God as if he had seen God before or known who God is before.
34. And this is the problem of Elijoe who kept Me upstairs with his family in unbelief. For he is the one engineering unbelief into his wife through phone.
35. HEAR ME VERY WELL. WHATEVER YOU HAVE IS WHAT YOU WILL GIVE. YOU CANNOT GIVE WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE.
AFTER GOD HAD WATCHED YOUR PATIENCE AND YOUR SINCERITY, THEN HE WILL BLESS YOU. WHERE GOD HID YOUR BLESSING MAY NOT BE WHERE YOU ARE FOCUSSING YOUR MIND. ONE OF THE REASONS WHY PEOPLE DO NOT PROSPER IS THAT THEY THINK THAT WORSHIPPING GOD WILL MAKE THEM POOR. DO YOU THINK THAT GOD CAN PROSPER SUCH PEOPLE? GOD WANTS YOU TO MAKE SACRIFICE. THEN YOU WILL RECEIVE HIS REWARD. WORSHIPPING GOD IS A SACRIFICE.

THE UNWELCOMED CHRIST OF ALL THE AGES [2]
1. You may worship God amiss. Even when He is talking to you, you may acknowledge Him with the lips that He is God, but His Words do not have effect in your life. Then, have you acknowledged Him as God? Has He become Almighty to you?
2. GOD HAS NOT BECOME THE ALMIGHTY TO YOU UNTIL HE HAS BECOME THE CONTROLLER OF ALL YOUR AFFAIRS, THE CONTROLLER OF YOUR THOUGHTS, THE CONTROLLER OF YOUR FEELINGS, THE CONTROLLER OF YOUR IMAGINATIONS, THE CONTROLLER OF ALL YOUR PLANS.
3. UNTIL GOD HAS TAKEN THAT POSITION IN YOU, YOU HAVE NOT RECOGNIZED HIM, AND YOU HAVE NOT WELCOMED HIM.
4. Remember, we are talking about the unwelcomed Christ in all the ages. Who has ever welcomed Christ whenever He is revealed in human form without querying Him?
5. IT TAKES ONLY THE TRUE ELECT NOT THE MIXED MULTITUDE THAT ARE MINGLING WITH US FOR SELFISH REASONS. I HOPE I AM MAKING SENSE?
6. IT TAKES THE TRUE ELECT TO WELCOME THE UNWELCOMED CHRIST. REMEMBER THAT THE TRUE ELECT CALLED HIM “CHRIST, THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD”, But the non-Elect saw Him as a deceiver who claims to be God.
7. “If He is God, why is He not doing this?” This is because they are querying Him. You cannot query Him and acknowledge Him as God.
8. And because you have not fully accepted Him and you have not recognized Him, for that reason, His Word can never transform your opinion about Him. Your opinion about Him remains there and that is why your life remains the same.
9. When Saint Paul was holding on to this, seeing Him as a mere man like him, holding on to his opinion, did his life change? He never made a positive confession until he had a personal revelation.
10. And that personal revelation, he had it on his way to Damascus. Then he said, “From now henceforth, I no longer see Him as a mere man just like myself.” [2 Corinthians 5:16 Living Bible]
11. I no longer see Him as one who is claiming to be God when we are dying of suffering. What is he doing? Why do we believe He is God?
12. This is because a fellow that thinks or feels this way is of the opinion that when God comes, his sufferings will be over. If God will come and increase his sufferings, He ceases to be God.
13. This is the guilt of the Jews. When He came as a Messiah, they thought He was coming to save them from the hands of the Romans who were dominating them and tormenting them.
14. But when He came, instead of saving them from the hands of the Roman Empire, He told them, “My Kingdom is not of this world so your sufferings continue.” [John 18:36] Then they said, “Away with Him. This is a false Messiah. Away with Him. Let no Jew ever accept Him. He is an impostor.”
15. Too many of them are here in our families. I am no longer talking about the church again. I am talking about the family. You might be one of them, your age notwithstanding.
16. WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE THINGS? WORSHIPPING GOD WITH ADULT SENSE. WORSHIPPING GOD WITH SENSE INSTEAD OF WITH FAITH.
17. AND THE MOMENT THAT IS AT WORK IN YOU, THERE IS NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO TO CHANGE YOUR OPINION ON ANYTHING YOU HAVE FORMED A VERY RIGID OPINION ABOUT.
18. SINCE YOU HAVE FORMED YOUR OPINION BASED ON RELIGION WHICH YOU INHERITED FROM YOUR FATHERS, GREW UP WITH IT, AND BECAME AN OLD MAN WITH IT, TO DIVORCE YOU FROM IT IS NOT A DAY’S JOB. AM I MAKING SENSE?
19. THIS IS BECAUSE, WHAT YOU ARE HEARING IS NOT HARMONIZING WITH WHAT YOU KNEW TO BE THE TRUTH. AND THAT WHICH YOU KNEW TO BE THE TRUTH, GOD IS SAYING IT IS FALSE. THE ONE GOD IS SAYING TO BE THE TRUTH, YOU ARE SAYING IT IS FALSE. IS IT NOT TRUE? BETTER KNOW THIS TRUTH.
20. WE ARE HANDLING SPIRITS. WE ARE DEALING WITH SPIRITS. SPIRITS DO NOT DIE. I HOPE I AM MAKING SENSE?
21. WHO IS A RELIGIOUS MAN? A RELIGIOUS MAN IS AN IDOLATER AND ALSO A CHRISTIAN. A CHRISTIAN IN THE SENSE THAT HE ATTACHES HIMSELF TO A CHURCH. HE HAS AN ENGLISH NAME.
22. HE IS A PAGAN BECAUSE HIS HEART HAS NEVER DEPARTED FROM THE IDOLS OF HIS PEOPLE. HIS CHARACTER IS TAILORED TOWARDS OBEYING THE IDOLS OF HIS PEOPLE MORE THAN GOD. I HOPE I AM MAKING SENSE?
23. THAT IS WHY SUCH PEOPLE FEAR THEIR IDOLS, RESPECT THEIR IDOLS, RESPECT THEIR TRADITIONS MORE THAN THE WORD OF GOD.
24. And Jesus met them and said, “Oh ye foolish Jews, you have a clever way of setting aside the Word of God that you may uphold the customs and traditions of your people.” [Mark 7:8 – 9]
25. Do we still have such people? They are everywhere. This is the fruiting time and also the harvest time. No mistake about who you are.
26. You can fool anybody, but not God. This is the time we shall stay in our homes and allow everybody’s nature to come forth.
27. AND BY YOUR MANIFESTATION, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE; I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM, AND I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE HEADING TO.
28. That is what I told Brother Ojiakor this morning; “Panic not, for God has spoken well concerning you. God said,“He is not ready to forfeit you and Apostle Kelechi. Instead of forfeiting two of you, He will put two of you into your premature graves.”
29. I gave him the message. What God did in time past, He is repeating again [Ecclesiastes 3:15]. God was not willing to forfeit Moses, He put him into his premature grave. And God carried the corpse and buried Moses.
30. So that the devil who came to struggle with it could not lay hand on that corpse, for immediately he dropped, the devil came to carry it, thinking he died in unbelief. He never knew Moses’ ministry was over and the Lord stopped him there that Joshua might continue.
31. Then Michael the Arch Angel came down immediately and contended with the devil, carried the corpse and went away. [Jude 9]
32. That is why the grave cannot be seen in the land of the Jews till today lest they will be worshipping the grave.
33. THIS HAS BEEN THE WAY OF GOD. WHEN A MAN OF GOD FULFILS HIS MINISTRY, AND COMES TO THE END, GOD STOPS HIM IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
34. It is just like William Branham. God stopped him that this Ministry will rear up. That is all. People thought the devil killed him.
35. NO DEVIL CAN KILL A MAN OF GOD. IT TAKES GOD TO STOP A MAN OF GOD.
36. Pay attention to what I am saying. I have instructed him [Brother Ojiakor] now to descend on Elijoe’s family because he has corrupted his family.
37. And immediately after talking, something took place. I was holding My phone. Lo and behold, a text message came in. A very lengthy one. It is still in My phone.
38. I opened it and read it to the end. Lo and behold, it was Elijoe’s wife for the first time. And it was touching on the same matter, asking for forgiveness for all her disobedience and unbelief.
39. While I was thinking about what could be responsible, another text message came again. It was another Sister also, but from Nsukka. She said she is UK Abraham-Paul.
40. From the beginning till the end, she was pleading for forgiveness, that she had never been in the Faith from the beginning. So, it is coronavirus pandemic that is cornering them.
41. IF CORONA IS CORNERING YOU, GOD SAID HE WILL RELAX THE MEASURES FOR A WHILE AND OPEN THE GATES AGAIN AND WATCH YOUR ATTITUDES.
42. THEN, WHEN HE WILL TIGHTEN IT AGAIN, HE WILL INJECT ANOTHER THING THAT WILL ADD FORCE, THAT WILL MAKE THIS ONE TO SPREAD FASTER, NOT THAT HE IS WITHDRAWING IT.
43. EBOLA IS STILL IN CIRCULATION. LASSA IS IN CIRCULATION. HIV IS IN CIRCULATION. GOD IS NOT WITHDRAWING ANY.
44. BUT HE IS UNLOCKING THE HEARTS OF THE RULERS TO RELAX PREVENTIVE MEASURES A WHILE. THEN THERE WILL BE A LITTLE RESPITE FOR THE PEOPLE.
45. THEN ALL THESE MAKE-BELIEVERS THAT HAVE HURRIEDLY NOW SHOWN INTEREST, WE WILL KNOW THEIR COLOURS AGAIN. DID I SAY SUCH A THING?
46. I am not limiting it to Anambra. It is global, for whatever God does from now henceforth, is going to be global. As long as it is a part of His judgment to this generation, it must go round, no matter where you are hiding.
47. No hiding place for such criminals. A sinner is a criminal in the sight of God worthy of death. Is it not true?
I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT WHERE I HAVE PLACED YOU NOW IS A DELICATE POINT. A Y- JUNCTION. YOUR LIVES ARE AT STAKE. I HAVE PLACED YOU WHERE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE AGAIN. A RELIGIOUS MAN IS BETTER THAN YOU HERE. YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO RELIGION BECAUSE YOU ARE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN RELIGION NOW. YOU CANNOT FIT INTO THE WORLD FOR YOU KNOW WHERE THE WORLD STARTED AND WHERE THEY ENDED. YOU CANNOT GO TO THE LEFT. YOU ARE NOW LIKE A MAN IN THE DESERT.

GOD ONLY RESPECTS HIS WORD IN A MAN
1. A SINNER, AN UNBELIEVER IN THE SIGHT OF GOD IS A CRIMINAL. IF HE REMAINS HABITUALLY SINNING, HE BECOMES A HABITUAL CRIMINAL. THAT IS WHY DEATH SENTENCE IS HANGING ON HIS NECK.
2. I SAY, DEATH SENTENCE, WHICH IS ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD, IS HANGING ON THE NECK OF EVERY OBSTINATE, POWERFUL, UNREPENTANT TRANSGRESSOR AMONG US.
3. If you like, believe. If you like, do not believe. Such people that do not recognize the Majesty of the LORD, they have their own clever way of setting the Word of God that comes to them aside so that they will always have their way.
4. But the true Elect will always pray and yield himself to the very Word of God, allowing the Word of God which is God Himself to have its own way. Because, he is a part of the Word.
5. Opposing the Word of God means opposing himself, for his life is the Word and everything about him is the Word. He proceedeth from the Word. He is a part of the Word. The Word is a part of him. So, the two are inseparable.
6. If Christ is the Word made flesh, the essence of giving us the Word is to allow the Word to become also flesh. Then you become manifested sons and daughters of God by believing God, taking Him at His Word.
7. ONE THING IS TO KNOW WHO HE IS. ANOTHER THING IS TO RECOGNIZE HIM AS GOD SO AS TO HONOUR HIM AS GOD, WORSHIP HIM AS GOD, REVERE HIM AS GOD, WHICH WAS THE GUILT OF THE JEWS.
8. Saint Paul said, “Although they knew Him as God, they could not give Him real worship, reverence, obedience to Him as God.” [Romans 1:20 – 21]
9. They never treated Him as God. But they were always saying, “He is a man but He is making Himself God. A mere man.” [John 10:33]
10. Elijoe! I hope you are paying attention, for God does not respect who you are. WHAT GOD RESPECTS IS HIS WORD IN A MAN. I hope you are hearing Me loud and clear?
11. Your cup is about to be filled to the brim. Better kneel down wherever you may be today and pray that you will see tomorrow.
12. I know why I am saying it, because you are standing before Me in judgment. The same way your family is standing before Apostle Ojiakor in judgment even today.
13. This is because the calls you were making in secret was heard in the open. The teachings you were handing down and the instructions you were handing down in secret were conveyed directly to THE SON OF MAN, who decided to monitor you to know what gave you the effrontery, when I am preaching, I am talking and I am giving the Word.
14. WHO WROTE THE GREAT SERMON? I SAID I DOCUMENTED IT UNDER THE HIGHEST ANOINTING WITH MY HAND.
15. And I was talking, and you were feigning ignorance and waving it aside. The first time I asked you a question, you became speechless. The second time, I caught you, and you said, “Well, whatever you are talking, that is what I am also reading here.”
16. Was it what I was saying? What I was saying was not what he is reading. I was explaining what was written, tying it to scriptures, and bringing more examples to help you to know how to comport yourselves as we see the days approaching, even as we see the end nearing. We can see the end nearing as we near the end of everything. If He is God, the fear of Him has departed from you.
17. THE MOMENT THE FEAR OF GOD DEPARTS FROM AN INDIVIDUAL, HE BECOMES REBELLIOUS AND HE BECOMES HOSTILE TO THE TRUTH.HE MAY PRETEND THAT HE IS QUIET, BUT IT IS NOT GODLY QUIETNESS. IT IS AN UNEASY CALM.
18. THE MOMENT THE FEAR OF GOD DEPARTS FROM A MAN, HE IS ON HIS WAY TO DESTRUCTION, FOR THE DEVIL WILL COME AND HARDEN HIS HEART THAT HE SHOULD NOT CHANGE HIS MIND ANYMORE.
19. Pay attention to Me this morning everybody. I am revealing to you this morning once again, THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN which I caused to be circulated throughout the whole world.
20. I gave them Volume 2 but I am going to start with Volume 1 in this family. I gave them the Background but I will start with the Introduction so that you begin to have a second look at yourself to know whether you are among those that have been saved already or you are struggling to get saved.
21. THIS IS BECAUSE I AM TALKING TO TWO CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE. [1] THOSE THAT ARE ALREADY SAVED SO THAT THEY WILL REMAIN IN THEIR SANCTIFIED ESTATES.
22. [2] I AM TALKING TO THOSE THAT ARE STRUGGLING TO BE SAVED PERADVENTURE THEY WILL MEET UP. BUT TO THE TOTAL LOST, I HAVE NO MINISTRY FOR THEM. I SAY, TO THE TOTAL LOST.
23. I am saying that you can only use oxygen, that is, life support on a patient that has not given up the ghost. You can only use life support, oxygen on a patient that is still gasping.
24. Even if he is breathing once in 20 minutes, he can never be declared dead.He is still showing signs that he is still alive. Whoever that puts that person in the mortuary has committed murder.
25. This is the person that needs life support to see whether he can recuperate and come back. Then you beef up the breathing so that his life will be restored. I hope I am making sense?
26. But somebody who is breathing now and vibrating, the heart is okay. He does not need support as oxygen. The one he is taking in naturally is enough for him. I hope I am making sense?
27. So, to those who are already vibrating in the faith, standing in the faith, what they will hear is what will help them to remain steadfast, immovable, unshakable, holding on to their stand no matter how they are warring.
28. This is because you are not a warrior if, after fighting your enemy, you lose your stand. But you are a victor when you fight your enemy and conquer, occupy and still retain your stand. Did you get the Message?
29. A war hero or a war lord is one that survived the war, and not one that died in the war. I hope I am making sense?
30. Place yourself where you belong to. Saint Paul said, “After fighting and conquering, we will come out unhurt, maintaining our stand with the readiness to fight more should there be any other opposition.”
31. These are the people that I am fortifying so that you give no room at all to the devil. They give no room at all. I kept them fortified.
32. Then to those who are at the brink of dying, and of joining their ancestors in hell, I want to give them through this Message, a life support which is oxygen to know whether their breathing can come up, and whether their dying souls can be revived. I hope I am making sense?
33. REMEMBER THAT A LIVING SOUL IS ONE WHERE CHRIST DWELLS. WHEN YOU ARE STRUGGLING BETWEEN CHRIST AND THE DEVIL, YOU ARE STRUGGLING BETWEEN YOUR OWN SELF-OPINION AND THE WORD OF GOD.
34. YOU ARE STRUGGLING BETWEEN YOUR LONG ESTABLISHED LIFE STYLE AND CHRIST’S CHARACTER. YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH GOD’S RULES/REGULATIONS AND YOUR OWN ESTABLISHED RULES OF LIVING.
35. A CHARACTER; A LAW YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED OVER THE YEARS IS BEING ATTACKED BY THE WORD OF GOD. AND THEN THE DEVIL IS USING YOU TO RESIST IT BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS HOLDING YOU IN CAPTIVE.
36. SO HERE, I HAVE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO ALL, “GET RID OF UNBELIEF IN YOUR FAMILY.”
37. IF YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY TO REMAIN UNPOLLUTED, PURE, IMMACULATE WHITE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, GET RID OF ALL TRACES OF UNBELIEF NO MATTER WHERE IT IS FOUND. EXPOSE IT.
38. Do not join in the unfruitful works of the enemy but instead, expose it. Is that not the Word of God? [Ephesians 5:11]
39. The Bible said, “Do not cover the unfruitful works of the one who is opposed to the truth, who is opposed to right living.”
40. Do not cover it up but expose it so that those who are trying to go that way will change their minds.And the person that is involved will be ashamed of himself for being a spot in the feast of love in the midst of the saints. [1 Timothy 5:20]
41. For God never compelled anybody to stay with Him by force. No! He said, “You must go to the people that believe what you believe.”
42. If you know that what God is saying is too difficult for you to believe, it is unbearable, do what others did.
43. When they noticed that the Word that was coming out of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, in their day was very cumbersome for them, difficult for them to say Amen to it. What did they do?
44. They said, “No! No! No! No! Who can stand to hear this nonsense? We are going away.” [John 6:60]
45. The multitude left, leaving only twelve behind. And among the twelve, one was also a devil, Judas, that the scriptures might be fulfilled. [John 17:12; Acts 1:16]
46. So, is it a strange thing if somebody abandons the Faith? If somebody leaves even this morning, is it a strange thing? He is leaving that the Scriptures might be fulfilled, because we are here for the fulfillment of the Scriptures, either positively or negatively.
47. If God says unbelief, unbelief, God will show us an example of an unbeliever. He will not use a goat.
48. God will use one who has been with us from the very beginning, understudying us, hearing everything, enjoying everything, but made up his mind that he will never be with us, and that he will never share our faith. Never! Never!
49. That is the unbeliever. And that is the man God is referring to. So, I will show you the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven and then, you take your own individual positions.
50. Yesterday, I received a text message from Sister Moses, Nsukka, appreciating the move of God at this dying minute in the history of the world.
51. Finally, she wrote, “Salute all the heavenly bound Brethren that are surroundingYou in the family. Love, from Sister Moses and family, Nsukka.”
52. A lengthy message appreciating the present stage, what God is doing. You see, she discerned that THE SON OF MAN is surrounded by heavenly bound brethren.
53. The same yesterday, I got the Message, EVALUATE YOURSELF Volumes 3, 4 and 5. Each one I lifted, I saw the vessel God used, Pastor Wisdom Odoemena. This one, Apostle Philip Odoemena. The other one, Evangelist Chukwubuikem Odoemena.
54. I said, “Why should I not be the happiest human being on earth? That while I am still alive on earth, walking on two feet, healthy spiritually and physically, that the children God gave to Me have risen to the height, not by age alone, spiritual height where they can now stand in the same position I am and minister their belief and also minister their conviction, not to My family alone, but to the entire world, by revelation that every family throughout the whole earth shall get their salvation from this Family as evidenced in the report from the websites.
55. We only see the number of people that went there to browse, but we cannot see their congregations. We cannot see their families where they have been disseminating these Messages; from the beginning, and for over 10 years now, because we have been consistent.
56. That is why, Elijoe, you are a drop in a bucket if you know what a drop in a bucket is. A drop of water in a bucket, is it noticeable? I want you to know the truth because all along, you have been putting yourself in a way as if you want people to fear you. Nobody will fear you.
57. TO A FOOL, RESPECT IS FEAR. A FOOL CALLS RESPECT FEAR.
58. When you are respecting a foolish King, he might be thinking you are afraid of him, as if he made himself king. Someone made him king. Did he make himself king?
59. Like I am here. Who made Me what I am? Is it not the Almighty God? You see why, in whatever I will do, I must revere Him, honour Him, respect Him and obey Him, for He is the Source of My existence. The Source of My power. If He never made Me what I am, I would not be what I am today.
60. So, I am indebted to Him. I am accountable to Him as the most superior. You must recognize Him.
61. When you are respecting a foolish King, he might be thinking you are afraid of him, as if he made himself king. God forbid!
62. Handle the Word of God without respect of persons. Fear them not. Fear not their faces. Fear not their countenances.
63. Will they oppose? Yes. Were we told? Yes. Will they be drawn from outside? He said, No. They will be drawn from among us. So, for that reason, the only way to crush that rebellion is to place their cards before them.
64. Let everybody know his position in Christ which is no other person but THE REVEALED SON OF MAN in this dispensation. He remains the anointed One. He remains the Messiah. He remains the Saviour. It is incontestable!
65. Look at Him, vindicated, authenticated, confirmed, sealed by the Almighty God who cannot change His writing. He cannot change His writing. So, He is not pleading with you. Rather, He is trying to help you.
66. If somebody far away has come to the revelation that THE SON OF MAN is surrounded by heavenly bound Brethren, then, if there be anybody that is not heavenly bound, he is a misfit in our midst; and we will never allow him to set the hands of the clock back or to become the accuser of the Brethren. We will not allow that.
67. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST FIND YOURSELF WHERE YOU BELONG TO. [1] HAVE YOU REALLY RECOGNIZED WHO GOD IS? [2] HAVE YOU ACKNOWLEDGED HIM AS GOD? IF YOU HAVE DONE THAT, THEN [3] TO WHAT EXTENT HAVE YOU TAKEN HIS WORD SERIOUS? TO WHAT EXTENT HAVE YOU OBEYED HIS WORD?
68. TO WHAT EXTENT HAVE YOU WORKED ACCORDING TO HIS PRECEPTS? TO WHAT EXTENT HAVE YOU WORKED WITH HIM SO AS TO BECOME PERFECT?
69. WORKING WITH HIM MEANS DOING EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS COMMAND.DOING EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS INSTRUCTIONS, WORKING ACCORDING TO HIS RULES, DOING THAT WHICH IS PLEASING TO HIM AT ALL TIMES, AND NOT TRYING TO DO YOUR OWN WILL BUT HIS OWN WILL.
70. When Jesus came as a messenger, he said, “I have come here not to do my own will but the will of my father who sent me.”[John 6:38]
MY JOY IS THAT PERADVENTURE, YOU ALL WILL BE WITH ME, I AM DUTY BOUND TO CARRY YOU SAFELY TO THE LAND. MANY OF YOU WILL BOW DOWN IN SHAME AT THE END BECAUSE, IF YOU WERE TOLD THAT I WILL SAVE YOU, YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE.

THE WORD OF GOD
GARRISONED US
1. And I am still here as the Resurrected Body, continuing just with the work because the work of salvation still remains until the true Elect of God is clothed with immortality.
2. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR. NOTHING WILL STOP THE MISSION, FOR GOD DOES NOT HAVE UNCOMPLETED ASSIGNMENT. GOD WHO STARTED THIS ASSIGNMENT, STARTED THIS JOURNEY, IS MORE THAN ABLE TO TAKE US TO THE END.
3. WHY IS HE REVEALING THESE THINGS? SO THAT WE HAVE NO TROUBLE ENTERING INTO PARADISE. HE WANTS TO SHOW US THAT IT IS POSSIBLE. ENTRY INTO PARADISE IS POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT BELIEVE.
4. But where you do not believe, it can never be possible to you. You will be seeing it as a difficult thing. Even bowing down before the Almighty will be very difficult.
5. Changing your mind, very difficult. Adjusting your soul, very difficult. Even opening your mind and your heart to comprehend the gospel truth will be very difficult, for your life is a reflection of the extent of work that has been done in your life. Your character is a reflection.
6. WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF WORK THAT THE WORD OF GOD HAS DONE IN YOUR LIFE? IT IS REFLECTING IN YOUR CHARACTER, FOR WE KNOW WHO YOU WERE IN TIME PAST. DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO YOU WERE IN TIME PAST?
7. Saint Paul said, “Do not ever forget what you were in time past.” [Ephesians 2:11] People hated you and you hated them. They fought you and you fought back. They nagged and you nagged. You were ready to kill.
8. You were doing all those indecent things without restraint. That was our habit in time past. But when Christ met us or when we met Christ, we were arrested by the Word of God.
9. When the Word of God arrested us, what did He do? He taught us and then garrisoned us where we can no longer go back to our former association or go back to our former life.
10. We cannot even allow that to come into our thoughts because we are not alone in the garrison. We are garrisoned with our Angels. In the garrison, Angels are there keeping watch over us.
11. That is why our conversation is in garrison, not in the world. We are having our conversation in the garrison amongst our fellow soldiers.
12. If you happen to be a prison inmate, your discussion will be among prison inmates. And what you will be discussing will be what brought you there and what you are facing or passing through.
13. You will not remember buying motor or building house. You see! So, your conversation is prison conversation among prisoners.
14. But our own conversation, according to the Bible, it said that our conversation is in heaven. [Philippians 3:20] We are there with heavenly beings, heavenly bound beings and heavenly Angels.
15. What do we discuss? We discuss heavenly matters. Heavenly matters, and not worldly matters for that is where our affection is.
16. That is why if we have been arrested by Christ, we have died to the world. We are now alive for Heaven. Died to the world. Alive for Heaven’s sake, that the life I live now is not My own life, but the life of Christ who arrested Me, controlled Me, injected in Me his own constitution, His own way of life and then imprisoned Me! [Galatians 2:19 – 20]
17. Saint Paul said, “I am Jesus Christ’s prisoner.” For Christ has imprisoned saint Paul. Saint Paul was in garrison. Are you Christ’s prisoner? A slave of Christ is a prisoner of Christ. Do you believe that? [Ephesians 3:1, Philemon 1]
18. A slave does the master’s will, whether he likes it or not. A slave does not challenge the master. A prisoner does not challenge the president. Even if you want to challenge, you are challenging in prison. You are in prison. I hope you know what I am saying?
19. Our conversation is among prisoners, prisoners of Christ, you know, conscience prisoners.
20. WHEN YOU REFUSE THE TRUTH, YOU ARE IMPRISONING YOURSELF WITH YOUR CONSCIENCE. FOR YOUR CONSCIENCE CANNOT DENY THE TRUTH.
21. AND THE WORST PRISON YARD, THE WORST CUSTODY, THE WORST GARRISON IS CONSCIENCE GARRISON. CONSCIENCE PRISON – WHEN YOU REFUSE THE TRUTH YOUR HEART CANNOT DENY. Am I making sense?
22. That is why you must re-examine yourself from time to time. Know whether your conversation is in Heaven and whether your conversation is in the garrison. Know whether those that are with you are equally sharing the same conversation.
23. That is why I appreciate the message yesterday from Sister Moses, all the way from Nsukka. Who discerned, “How can a man do this as a family if He does not have heavenly bound Brethren surrounding Him?”
24. For no successful Man of God ever works alone. There must be somebody that is empowering him. Somebody helping. Somebody assisting.
25. After all, a day came when Moses’ hand grew very weak and the battle was not yet won. God had to assign Caleb and Joshua to lift the two hands of Moses up so that they will not collapse.
26. And as the hands remained up, the battle continued. Moses continued. The Israelis continued winning their battle, chasing the enemies until they were chased out of sight and out of the territory.
27. Then, victory was conferred on them. Why? The two Angels were there holding the two hands up so that the hands will not collapse.
28. SO, LET US BE VERY CAREFUL. THERE CAN NEVER BE A MAN OF GOD STANDING WITHOUT SOME BRANCHES, FOR THE BRANCHES MAKE THE STEM TO BE VERY STRONG IN THE SOIL.
29. When the wind blows, it blows the branches. The branches will shake the stem a little. What will happen? It will go down and down and the soil will close. That is what it does.
30. Any branch that is shaken away by the wind is a diseased branch. A dead one. And when you look at the point of attachment, it died before it fell.
31. So, I said that I am trying to oil your joints because the journey is still a little far. The judgment has started but He never told us the year and the day it is going to end.
32. But He said, “Whenever it starts, it will not go back until three quarters of the inhabitants of the earth will be exterminated.”
33. And God is having His eyes on the supposed population of the world when the judgment took off.
34. As I am talking to you now, the world estimate is still very high. It is nearing a billion and we are marching on. It is nearing a billion.
35. I say, the death toll is nearing a billion from all the countries in the world. We are moving forward. What am I saying? Pay attention.
36. THE JUDGMENT HAS STARTED. HOW LONG WILL IT LAST? WE DO NOT KNOW. AND DO NOT PREDICT. LET IT BE KNOWN TO YOU THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE THE WORST HIT. AND IT WILL BE IN THE MIDST OF THAT SERIOUS ONE THAT YOU EXPECT YOUR IMMORTAL BODY.
37. IT WILL BE IN THE MIDST OF THAT ONE WHICH YOU CANNOT BEAR IN THIS FLESH. WHEN YOU COME TO THAT ONE WHICH YOU CANNOT BEAR IN THIS VERY MORTAL FLESH, GOD WILL TRANSFORM YOU.
38. He is not withdrawing the promise. The promise is still there. Paradise is still there. And we are already sitting in heavenly places with Christ. God using this family as a channel of blessing to every other family upon the earth. What a privilege you are having.
39. TO BE CONNECTED TO THIS FAMILY IS THE BEST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO ANY INDIVIDUAL. TO BE CONNECTED TO THIS FAMILY IS THE BEST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO ANY INDIVIDUAL, ANY NATION OR ANY FAMILY.
40. If you know who you are and where you are and whose Voice you are hearing, happy are you. We are not here in vain. We are not here because we want to be here. Somebody gathered us.
41. WHATEVER THAT IS SHAKING THE WHOLE WORLD IS RESIDENT HERE. TRUE OR FALSE? I SAY, THE POWER SHAKING THE WORLD IS RESIDENT HERE. FROM HERE, THE VOICE IS GOING FORTH. THE SALVATION OF THE WORLD EMANATES FROM HERE. TRUE OR FALSE?
42. Abraham held the power that was shaking the hour. Noah held the power that was shaking the hour. True or False?
43. It was in that little room that they locked Lot that the power that shook Sodom and Gomorrah was residing. It was in the house of Rahab that the power that shook Jericho was resident.
44. THE POWER THAT IS SHAKING THE WHOLE WORLD AT THIS DYING MINUTE DOMICILES HERE. I SAID, DOMICILES HERE! WITH THE GUARDIAN ANGELS ON GUARD 24 HOURS, BUILDING A HEDGE AND MAKING IT A GARRISON WHERE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO ESCAPE. ESCAPE TO WHAT? THERE, YOU ARE SEALED IN. YOU ARE SEALED IN. THE REST ARE SEALED OUT.
45. So, be on the alert. I want to show you the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven which everybody is considering and we will join them to consider it.
46. I want Evangelist Chibuikem to come to the pulpit and begin to help us. Introduction, Chapter Three. That is where we are going to start, with the Introduction. Give him audience. Do not say, “I have known it.” And do not allow it to sound common in your ears.
I BELIEVE GOD IS BEHIND MY TIMETABLE. I HAVE A TIMETABLE WITH ALL MANKIND. IT IS A DIVINE TIMETABLE; AN UNBROKEN TIMETABLE. WE HAVE TO WORK TOWARDS IT WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT.

THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [1]
1. You are blessed Brethren. With this same spirit which God has started this morning, let us go over to the message, THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – INTRODUCTION; Preached on 8th January 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN, The Supreme Intelligence.
2. Page 45 from verse 1.1I AM HERE TO REVEAL TO YOU THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BUT I AM NOT IN A HASTE.
3. 2I know many gathered here today to hear what THE SON OF MAN will say concerning the year 2017. This is an entirely new year. Another year away from the previous ones as far as the Son of Man is concerned.
4. 3CONCERNING THE WORLD, IT IS A CONTINUATION OF THE TROUBLES OF THE PREVIOUS YEARS. BUT TO US, IT IS UNFOLDING A NEW THING.THIS YEAR, THE LORD IS ALL OUT FOR THE BRIDE AND THE BRIDE ALONE.
5. Note the year it started. God came all out for the Bride and the Bride alone.
6. Then in 2019, God said, “I am through with the Bride.” But one unfortunate thing there is this: ALL OF THEM DID NOT REPENT. THEY MERELY SUPPRESSED THEIR FEELINGS.
7. For that reason, their judgment has rolled into the judgment of the world which begins in 2019. It will climax in 2020. That is when the world will begin to feel the impact fully.
8. The impact of God’s judgment which started among the heathens in 2019 will be grossly felt worldwide in 2020. Specified! What happened?
9. Are you surprised that corona disease is labelled COVID-19? Whether it started in China, Wuhan or anywhere, it must start from somewhere and then spread.
10. The Voice of God must also come from somewhere and go round the globe. So, the judgment goes out from somewhere. Am I making sense?
11. So, pay attention. It is labeled, “COVID-19” and in 2019 December, the world did not see the impact so much. They regarded it as Chinese affair.
12. Then by 2020, from January, news started coming from here and there. America, India, France, Italy, Spain, everywhere! Did you get it?
13. Before we knew it, the streets became empty. God sent all of them into their homes, closed the business, and closed every kind of business, closed schools, colleges and universities, closed airports, closed markets, all festivals, closed all churches, closed mosques, closed everything religion.
14. AND THEN GOD ALONE WAS HOLDING SWAY. GOD ON THE SCENE, EVERYBODY IN HIDING.
15. Places where it has not reached started building barriers. They started building preventive barriers, “Let us block it from crossing. We know it is finally coming down swiftly. Everybody, go home! Go home! Let us block! Let us block. All borders, blocked!”
16. What were they blocking? They do not want the judgment to crossover. Then God surmounted the blocks. The more you block, the more God is surmounting.
17. Do not ever obstruct the course of the flood, you will cause it to go where it should not go. Rather, create a channel for the flood to pass through. Then, you reduce the damage. Am I making sense?
18. Do not worry. Africa will taste the hottest pill, for it will be Africa last. Africa last! Let Me stop there.
19. 4I have no program with the world. If there is any program I have, it is with the Middle East. Whatever I have with the Gentile world is to make sure I know those that are with Me and they will know that I am also with them. Period!
20. You see the assignment? Whatever, the assignment is identification of those who are with Me and those who are claiming to be with Me when they are not. Is it not what I am saying now?
21. You must know where you belong to. You either belong to the Son of God or son of the devil. You cannot belong to the two at the same time.
22. 5You might be romancing with sin and the devil will tell you that it does not matter, that everybody is a liar. …Am I making sense?
23. You see what the devil does? You are embracing unbelief, hardening your heart, becoming stubborn. Everyday, you see stubbornness manifesting in your life and the devil will tell you, “It does not matter.”
24. Anything you do contrary to the truth, whenever you are corrected, you get offended. You will be demonstrating against the one that corrects you, because the devil will tell you he is disgracing you; He is insulting you; He is debasing your integrity.
25. And then, the next thing he will do is to push you up above everybody, exalt you and place you in a position you do not occupy. Then, you will be claiming right when there are no rights to claim, “It is my right!”Where you have no rights to claim, you will establish a right there.
26. This is what the devil does because you feel you are being cheated by others,“No Noo! I cannot be in the midst of plenty and go away empty-handed.”These are spirits. This is what the devil does.
27. And until you get that your own share, you will remain restive, and you will remain boiling. I am telling you the truth. If you hear, “It is finished”, everybody becomes your enemy.
28. So, what am I saying? Know when you are romancing with the devil. I am telling you symptoms, signs by which you will know these people who are in Satan’s Eden, Satan’s garrison and Satan’s dungeon, for the devil is tormenting them and they do not know.
29. The devil torments people he is holding captive, but they hardly find it out. A sinner is under torment in the hand of the devil 24 hours of the day, for the devil does not mean well to anybody.
30. The role of the devil is to distract your attention from God and to distract your attention from reality to falsehood. I am telling you God’s truth as One that is in the bosom of the Father.
31. If you want to succeed, give the devil and its appearances zero tolerance. Do not give it a second so that you continue with the truth of the Gospel of Christ.
32. THE DEVIL HAS ONLY COME TO NULLIFY THE TRUTH YOU HAVE HEARD, AND MAKE SIN [UNBELIEF] LOOK VERY SIMPLE.
33. Then, you will be saying, “It does not matter. Is it because of this small thing I did that you are saying this thing? Will somebody not do something anymore? Will somebody not talk again?”
34. But let whoever that will speak, speak as an Oracle of God. [1 Peter 4:11] Let your word minister grace to the hearer if you are a seed of God. [Ephesians 4:29]
35. 5You might be romancing with sin and the devil will tell you that it does not matter, [and] that everybody is a liar. Well, go ahead. Go ahead! Keep on thinking that everybody is a liar and then everybody will go to hell.
36. You know one thing with such people with unrepentant hearts is that they claim that everybody is like them. A criminal believes that everybody is a criminal. I hope I am making sense?
37. In his heart, instead of repenting, he will say, “Do not worry. One day, they will catch you. When they will catch you now, then everybody will know that you are a criminal.”
38. This is because he has already made up his mind that everybody is like him. Can such a person change his mind? Can he take corrections serious?
39. “All have sinned. All have sinned.”I do not believe in that. All have not sinned. You might see Me where I sinned, but you did not see where I repented.
40. 7You saw me standing, [but] you never knew when I sat down. You saw me outside, but you did not know when I entered inside.
41. IT DOES NOT TAKE ONE MILLION YEARS TO MAKE A DECISION THAT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. Hallelujah! Amen! It is a quote.
42. IT DOES NOT TAKE A MILLENNIUM FOR ONE TO TAKE A DECISION THAT WILL CHANGE HIS OR HER LIFE FOR THE BETTER. IT DOES NOT TAKE A MILLENNIUM.
43. IT DOES NOT TAKE ONE MILLION YEARS FOR YOU TO TAKE THE RIGHT DECISION THAT WILL PUT YOU ON THE RIGHT TRACK; A DECISION THAT WILL MAKE YOU TO BE FRIENDLY WITH GOD.
44. IT DOES NOT TAKE ONE MILLION YEARS FOR YOU TO RECONCILE TO CHRIST, THAT YOUR SINS BE BLOTTED OUT. THEN, YOU HAVE THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE.
WHATEVER YOU ARE DESIRING, THERE IS A PRICE YOU MUST PAY. THIS AWARENESS, THIS REVELATION OF MARVELOUS POWERS THAT WILL TRANSFORM YOU FROM HUMAN TO SUPER-HUMAN LEVEL, FROM CONSCIOUS TO SUPER-CONSCIOUS LEVEL, THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY. EVEN RETAINING THE SON OF MAN’S MINISTRY, THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY, BECAUSE RETAINING THE SON OF MAN MEANS PLACING YOURSELF WHERE YOU WILL GET THE PROMISED WORD. YOU CANNOT GET IT UNTIL HE IS RETAINED, IF HE GIVES WAY TOMORROW, HE GOES AWAY WITH EVERYTHING, [AND] YOU JUST HALT THERE. FINISH!

THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [2]
1. 7…IT DOES NOT TAKE ONE MILLION YEARS TO MAKE A DECISION THAT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. A DECISION THAT CAN ENDURE TILL ETERNITY CAN BE TAKEN IN A SECOND. Sure!
2. You could see him wallowing in sin, but you cannot see him when he repented. That is why the Word comes to us on a daily basis.
3. You see why the Word is coming on a daily basis, so that you will be hearing it continually. Peradventure, one day, you can change your mind, change your heart, and then take the right decision. Then get saved with the saved; get saved with the rest of the Saints.
4. 9And the Message said, “WE REPENT EVERY DAY.” Sure!WHENEVER THE WORD OF GOD GOES FORTH, EVERY ELECT CATCHES IT BY REVELATION AND HE REPENTS THERE.
5. As the Word is going forth this morning, in the same, way it is going forth throughout the whole world today.
6. Every true Elect of God will catch this Message by revelation and then better his life because he knows that he is going to dwell with Almighty God in eternity, who is of purer eyes than to behold evil. [Habakkuk 1:13]
7. Nothing unrighteous shall be found in Paradise. Even the Prophet of God, Prophet Mohammed (Peace be unto him), lamented in the Holy Quran that people do not take prayer serious anymore. They do not take the Word of God serious anymore.
8. That even in the Muslim brotherhood, they now play politics with their faith. He said that what is left there is mere human gathering, there is no spirituality.
9. Hence most of them are now tilting towards world politics instead of tilting towards Allah. It is happening in Christianity. It is happening in Islam.
10. But there is going to be a minority, handpicked, selected by Allah, set aside, who will not subscribe to the tenets of this present world. For they have fixed their eyes in doing the will of Allah; and they will enter Paradise without any problem. Such are the people that Allah loves and Allah guides them safely into Paradise.
11. But the rest will be guided into hell, for Allah does not guide a wicked fellow. To turn away from the truth when it is evidently set out before you is an act of wickedness to yourself. [REFERENCES FROM ISLAMIC HADITHS: (1) Bediuzzaman Said Nursi,The Rays: The Fifth Ray – p.101. (2) MishkatulMasabih, KitabulIlm; & (3) SunanAbiDawud 4597: Hasan]
12. 9And the Message said, “We repent every day.” WHENEVER THE WORD OF GOD GOES FORTH, EVERY ELECT CATCHES IT BY REVELATION AND HE REPENTS THERE.
13. Is it not what we pray for? That God will touch us with the touch of love and then reprove us where we have gone wrong to enable us amend it, for we do not want to have any problem along the way.
14. 10You will see what the Prophet said concerning, “DISAPPOINTED EXPECTATION” DISAPPOINTED EXPECTATION! Lest you stay here, [and] at the end, you call Me a wicked Minister.
15. 11I am not a wicked Minister. … And that is why I have never shunned to declare the wholesome truth to every true Elect of God worldwide so that you will never say, “If He had told me, I would have changed my mind. Why did He not tell me?”
16. You have heard it all. The same Message that came from the East, the same is sent to the West. The same is sent to the North and is sent to the four corners of the world.
17. 11I am not a wicked minister. No! I will reveal everything to everybody including Myself, for I am involved. No matter how the Captain of our salvation was made perfect before He was sent, yet His life is tied to this same Gospel, [and] not to any other gospel. And God watches over Him 24 hours of the day. If He perverts it for selfish reasons, the Lord will surely destroy Him. Rewind it!
18. 11I am not a wicked minister. No! I will reveal everything to everybody including Myself, for I am involved. No matter how the Captain of our salvation was made perfect before He was sent, yet His life is tied to this same Gospel, [and] not to any other gospel. And God watches over Him 24 hours of the day. If He perverts it for selfish reasons, the Lord will surely destroy Him.
19. 12By the Prophet, the Lord brought His people out of the land of bondage, the land of sin. By the Word of the Prophet, He established them. [Hosea 12:13]
20. 13We are established because we followed He that brought us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His Dear Son where the light of His glory is shining upon us every day. By His Word, we are established.
21. But as many as have despised His Word are running to and fro, and so they will remain running until they will meet their doom at last.
22. 14What will take Me back to the world? The world is far from Me as I am far from the world. AS HEAVEN IS FAR AWAY FROM THE EARTH, SO IS THE BRIDE FAR AWAY FROM THE WORLD.
23. 15Is there any attraction in the world? What is in the world again [that] any man can think he will enjoy? Is it the violence? Is it the hardship? The pestilence and disease? The rampant death? Tell Me!
24. 16Is it your money that has become mere promissory note? Valueless! [You] go to market with millions and come back empty handed. Tell Me what is in the world [that] any man can boast of enjoying again.
25. 17Your celebrated positions in the office earn you nothing. Absolutely nothing but sorrows and pains; sorrows and pains, [and] troubles!
26. 18WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL. THE DEVIL IS BEHIND THE AFFAIRS OF THIS WORLD. WHO IS BEHIND THE AFFAIRS OF THIS WORLD? THE DEVIL. THE CONTROLLER OF THE AFFAIRS OF THIS WORLD.
27. And that is why he is doing everything within his power to seduce your hearts away from the Reality, pointing you to something that does not exist.
28. Where it exists, it is temporary. It is not permanent. It is not eternal. It cannot even guarantee your existence and it cannot support you to stay long here.
29. Eat and die. Eat today and die tomorrow. Eat and die. If you eat to add weight, you drink to live life. What kind of life are you living? Is it eternal life?
30. The weight you added and the life you drank to, how long will they stay? You will excrete everything through faeces and urine, you will carry the smell to hellfire.
31. What else will it profit a man to take the whole world and loose his soul in hellfire? [Mark 8:36] What can a man give in ransom or in exchange for his soul?
32. 18…The devil is behind the affairs of this world. The devil is the man behind the affairs of this world, mounting undue pressure on every man,…Doing what? …mounting undue pressure on every man,…
33. To do his own will and not God’s will. The devil is mounting undue pressure on every man to dance to his tune and to obey him instead of God, bringing too many suggestions into your mind and pointing your heart away from the reality and from God.
34. And then, injecting a force, “Do it quick. If I do not do it, nobody will know that I am a man. Let me do it, so that they will know that I am a man.”
35. You think you are glorifying God because you are in the Church. Church blinds. I say, church blinds. If you are blinded by the church, you are doomed to destruction.
36. What is making the whole world not to believe the truth? Is it not because their eyes and their hearts are covered with church veil? Ecclesiastical veil! You see them very serious about things concerning the Church, but they do not worship God.
37. 18…The devil is behind the affairs of this world. The devil is the man behind the affairs of this world, mounting undue pressure on every man, [and] making it impossible for them to know the hour they are in.
38. 19It is only us that know the hour. I am telling you the truth. Only the real sons and daughters of God are conscious of the hour they are in, because a Star is sent that is guiding us.
39. Why? Because a Star is sent to guide us home. We saw the Star and we followed the Star. Like the wise men said, “We have seen the Star, we have come to worship the king.” [Matthew 2:2]
40. IN EVERY DISPENSATION, GOD SENDS A STAR TO GUIDE HIS PEOPLE TO THE TRUTH, WHO WILL HELP THEM TO ATTAIN GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THEIR OWN DISPENSATION WHEREIN THEY WILL STAND IN LIFE OR IN DEATH, WHEREIN THEY WILL BE DECLARED JUSTIFIED, HOLY AND MADE ACCEPTABLE BY ALLAH, THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
41. 20Thus, that which you are holding very, very tightly, thinking that tomorrow will be better, then you begin to reign upon the earth. That is what will put you into hell.
42. Did you hear what God is saying? You know that one which you are cherishing or desiring very highly, which you know you will use to show the whole world that you have arrived when the Saints must have gone.
43. Then you will reign supreme here and become the king of the rejected people. If it means reigning for one day, you will reign. “Even if it means driving jeep today, after which I will die, let me drive. Build a house today and die tomorrow, no problem.” That is what will take you to hellfire.
44. Unaccomplished ambition that can never be accomplished by you even till eternity. This is because what you are planning to accomplish is outside God’s program and also outside the Promise of God for the Saints of God.
45. DESIRING WHAT GOD HATES MEANS DESIRING DEATH, DESIRING DISAPPOINTMENT, DESPAIR, DISGRACE, AND THEN FINALLY, D.E.A.T.H.
46. 20Thus, that which you are holding very, very tightly, thinking that tomorrow will be better, then you begin to reign upon the earth, that is what will put you into hell.
47. Remain in Your Sanctified Estate Eternally as we see the DAYS APPROACHING
