WHOSE IMMUNITY DO YOU HAVE? Preached on 8th October 2002; Pg. 70 vs. 43 – 48
1
WHOSE IMMUNITY DO YOU HAVE?
You see why you must be faithful with God so that we will be covered by the light of His presence. Refuse to work with God, your nakedness must be made manifest. Is it not true?
2. Okay. Let me just show you one earthly example. Buhari is on the throne as our President and head of state. He is the Commander-in-Chief and everything. He belongs to APC party.
3. Since he started fighting corruption, there has never been a record of staunch APC members that he arraigned for corruption.
4. Rather, anybody who is corrupt, who wants his sin to be covered and who wants his corruption to be covered, will decamp from his party to APC. Then, your sins are covered.
5. If not, ChibiukemAmaechi, the former Governor of Rivers State would have been there. Fashola would have been there. Chris Ngige would have been there. Bola Tinubu would have been there. And many others, including Mbadinuju who was facing trials. He also ran there.
6. Many cross-carpeted so that anti-corruption would not catch them. So, it became an asylum for all corrupt people, but those that insisted they must remain in their former parties, must be exposed from time to time, and imprisoned accordingly, while the biggest sinners are insulated.
7. They are enjoying immunity. Why? They ran under the umbrella of the President. Did you get the Message right?
8. All that were involved in the Ivory tower money in Lagos, Oxford building; the money that has no owner and which was found in the building that has been there since ages. The building that has no owner, having offices people occupied paying rent to nobody.
9. Watchmen are there, receiving salaries from nobody, keeping watch over properties that belong to nobody, and millions were carted away from that building.
10. They said they were hidden, both hard currencies and naira. How many of the owners appeared for trial?
11. The two helicopters whichnobody knew who imported them, Air Force carried them, for they were military helicopters, for many months. Later, somebody disclosed that he was the one. What happened to him? Absolutely nothing.
12. The air force carried them and put into air force fleet. Who queried him? Rather, he was reappointed. Why? He is enjoying immunity.
13. YOU SEE WHY YOU MUST ENJOY YOUR IMMUNITY IN CHRIST, FOR CHRIST COVERS YOU IN HIS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
14. As long as our President is not corrupt, all that are under him are not corrupt. His innocence and his clemency covers all of them. It is like travelling with them. They are diplomats. They are all covered by diplomatic immunity.
15. No matter who they are, immigration officers do not search their bags. It is, “Come down from the plane, enter CVU vehicle (Conference Visitors Unit) and go to your house or go to your hotel”, for nobody searches a diplomat. Who are you to say, “Bring your bag. I want to search you.” He is a diplomat.
16. Once you are hiding under the president, you are under presidential immunity until you begin to misbehave. The moment the President queries you, he fires you and the law will arrest you. Did you get it?
17. That is why Orji UzorKalu was imprisoned, for he ran to APC, but he was not loyal to the President. He was fired. Did you get the Message?
18. IF YOU RUN INTO CHRIST FOR SALVATION, YOU MUST BE LOYAL.
19. If you happen to be a Muslim, praise be to God on your behalf. Did you get what I am saying? Every true Muslim will get salvation from prophet Muhammad Raheem (PBUH). He will save them, and Allah will save Muhammad. Did you get it?
20. All that ran to Noah were saved by Noah, and Allah saved Noah. All that ran to Lot were saved by Lot, and Allah saved Lot. All that followed Moses were saved by Moses, Allah saved Moses.[Ja’faribn Muhammad. [JESUS THROUGH SHIITE NARRATIONS: [Categorized collection of hadith (narrations) on Prophet Jesus (a) from the Shia books of Hadith.] Page 25 verse 8]
21. YOU MUST ENJOY IMMUNITY SO THAT GOD WILL NOT SEE YOU, BUT WILL SEE THE PERSON. AND AS LONG AS THE PERSON YOU ARE FOLLOWING HAS NOT FOUND FAULT WITH YOU, YOU ARE FAULTLESS. UNTIL A MAN FINDS FAULT WITH HIS WIFE, THE WIFE REMAINS FAULTLESS.
22. A day came when Nigerians wanted to capitalize on a careless statement the wife of our President made concerning the political party inclination, they started writing frivolously against our President.
23. Our President, being an intelligent man, a visionary man, came up. He never attacked his wife.
24. One statement he made, everybody ran home. Everybody ran away. He said, “Well, I do not want to know the political party my wife belongs to, but one thing is certain to me. She belongs to my bedroom and my kitchen.
25. So, political party or no political party, she is my wife, I have not faulted her. I have disregarded all these accusations and sentiments. They hold no water. Whether plausible or not plausible, I do not want to know. Whether it contains truth or falsehood.
26. I have made up my mind concerning her, long long time ago, that she will remain my wife, even in Paradise.
27. Since I have made up my mind to bless her, to carry her along, who are you to query another man’s wife of disloyalty? I am the one. But any day she divorces me, the law takes its course, My immunity will no longer protect her.”
28. THAT IS WHY EVERY TRUE ELECT OF GOD IS ENJOYING IMMUNITY UNDER ALLAH.
29. That is why the Bible said, “Who can accuse God’s Elect? Who can bring anything to the charge against an Elect of God?” It said, “Can God do that?” It said, “Can Christ do that?” It said, “Not even any spirit.”[Romans 8:33]
30. SO, ONCE YOU ARE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST, THAT IS ALL.
31. See the confirmation in the Message titled, YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE PROPHETS Volume 2;Preached on 5th September, 1999; Page 129 from verse 7 –14.
32. 7If you do not want to provoke Me, do not sleep. If I strainMyself to stand here and talk to you and you are sleeping, you are provoking Me. That goes to show that I am fooling myself, [and] that I am preaching to myself. Do you know that?
33. 8If you are favouringMe, you are favouring yourself. I CANNOT PERISH AGAIN. NO HUMAN BEING IN MY FAMILY CAN PERISH. NO HUMAN BEING IN MY ARK CAN PERISH! MY FAMILY IS MY ARK.
34. Listen to Me. God told Noah, “Go and prepare an Ark with Gopherwood, for the saving of your family. I am coming with judgement upon your own day, for their evil has become so much for me to bear.’ [Genesis 6:14, 17 – 18] Noah went into action, preparing an Ark for the saving of his family.
35. I TOLD YOU THAT THE BEST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IS TO BE CONNECTED TO THIS FAMILY. AMEN. PAY ATTENTION.
36. 8If you are favouringMe, you are favouring yourself. I CANNOT PERISH AGAIN. NO HUMAN BEING IN MY FAMILY CAN PERISH. THEY ARE FROM MY LOINS. MAYBE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING. O MY GOD! HOW I WISH YOU WILL GET THE REVELATION.
37. 9HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO PUT SOMEBODY FROM MY LOINS INTO HELL, WHEN I KNOW THAT HE HAS THE BOLDNESS TO GO TO THE TABLE WHERE I AM EATING AND PUT HIS HANDS IN THE PLATE? I WILL NOT REMOVE HIS HANDS. I WILL EVEN GIVE HIM MORE.
38. He can even carry My shoes. Though they cannot size him[or fit properly], he will put his legs there. I cannot do anything. I will only laugh.
39. 10If I am preaching Salvation, I am preaching because of you. You are My friends. I am not preaching for Myself or the members of My family, people from My loins. They are My attributes. Oh! You do not know. ALL I AM TRYING TO DO IS ONLY TO GET YOU GRAFTED IN.
40. 11Saint Paul said, “I am labouring every day to see whether I can save some.” [1 Corinthians 9:22] HEAVEN IS ALL ABOUT FAMILY FAITH.
41. HEAVEN IS ALL ABOUT FAMILY FAITH! You must have the faith of Abraham’s family. You must have the faith of Noah’s family. You must have the faith of Lot’s family. You must have the faith of Rahab’s family.
42. 11…HEAVEN IS ALL ABOUT FAMILY FAITH. HELL IS TOO FAR FROM ME AND MY FAMILY. AFTER ALL, WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO IS FAMILY FAITH.
43. WHEN YOU GO HOME, PUBLISH IT FAR AND WIDE THAT BROTHER ODOEMENA SAID THAT ALL OF YOU ARE SAVED BY FAMILY FAITH.
44. 12What entered the Ark of Noah was family faith. What Abraham had was family faith. What Lot had was family faith. Anybody Rahab lovedmust be saved because he was holding family faith. Do you not know that Jesus is a family?
45. 13But when I am trying to save you here and you are sleeping, do you not know that you are not with Me at all? You hate your life. I AM ONLY TRYING TO GRAFT YOU INTO MY FAMILY.
46. Maybe you do not know that you are in the kingdom of His Dear Son. I will start showing you Scriptures again.
47. 14He has transferred you from the kingdom of darkness, into the His Dear Son. Now, you can call Him “Abba Father.”
48. Amen! I hope you are with Me? Amen! No shaking! Your faith must be rooted, grounded and settled.
49. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – THE BACKGROUND; Preached on Sunday 8th January, 2017; Page 39 from verse 36.
50. 36With the leaning of the entire personality on God, you lean on God. LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.
51. [But] They refused to apply faith. Faith would have compelled them to depend on God, rely on God [and] trust in God. They could not do that. They trusted in themselves. They depended on their efforts. They could not lean their entire personality on God.[According to Hebrews 4:1 – 3]
52. 37They could not allow God to have His way. For that reason, God took an oath [and] swore in His name against them. Were they children of God? Yes! Were they saved from Egypt? Yes! Saved in the red Sea? Yes!
53. 38Were they partakers of God’s blessings in the wilderness? Yes! Did they see the glory of God? Yes! Did the elders eat and drink with Him? Yes! Did they hear His audible voice? Yes!
54. DID THEY SEE THE ENTIRE PERSONALITY OF THE GODHEAD? YES! What can you say about the Pillar of Cloud? Were they Israelis? Yes! THIS TRUTH COULD NOT COME OUT AT A BETTER TIME THAN NOW.
55. Sure! To get us rooted, grounded, settled and balanced.
56. I was telling Mummy yesterday, after going through what the Governor said as I have read, how churches should go if they wantto reopen their outfits and everything including social distancing.
57. I said, “Look! What if we decide not to go to GTC again? What if we say we are not going again?”
58. I know Brother Elijoe would be praying that we should not go again because if we are to go to GTC, he will be here, only to be hearing when we come back and give him testimonies.
59. But this one has afforded him the opportunity to be in the fellowship, if he is wise, intelligent and understanding, coupled with being visionary and not vicious. ONCE YOU ARE NOT VISIONARY, YOU ARE VICIOUS.

ETERNAL LIFE IS A REWARD
THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – THE BACKGROUND; Preached on Sunday 8th January, 2017; Page 41 from verse 39.
2. 39These things happened to them for an example and were documented as a warning unto us. Remember, all things that were written in the Scriptures aforetime, were written for our learning. It happened to them for our example, that we should not pattern after them.[Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11]
3. 40IF AFTER SEEING ALL THESE THINGS, HEARING ALL THESE THINGS, WE STILL FALL VICTIM OF THE SAME OFFENCE, WHO DO WE BLAME?
4. The same Gospel that brought down the Godhead in their day is the one that brought the Godhead down in our day.
5. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – THE BACKGROUND; Page 46 from verse 56.
6. 56IF GOD WILL SAVE YOU ANYHOW, WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF PREACHING TO YOU? …
7. THEN THE DEVIL IS ALSO SAVED ANYHOW. YOU CANNOT BE SAVED ANYHOW. YOU CANNOT BE SAVED BY DISOBEYING GOD.
8. YOUR OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD MUST BE FULFILLED. THEN, YOU WILL GET THE PROMISE. YOU CANNOT GET THE PROMISE BEFORE FULFILLING YOUR OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD.
9. I AM SAYING THAT ETERNAL LIFE IS A REWARD FOR YOUR COMPLETE OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH REVEALED TO YOU BY GOD THROUGH HIS APPOINTED MESSENGER IN YOUR OWN DAY.
10. The Bible said, “When we obey, it shall be imputed unto us for righteousness.” [Romans 4:22 – 24]
11. BUT WHEN WE DISOBEY, AND CONTINUE TO DISOBEY, IT BECOMES UNRIGHTEOUSNESS TO US, FOR NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS CAN BE FOUND IN GOD.
12. God is holistically righteous and of purer eyes than to behold evil, [Habakkuk 2:19] and nothing unrighteous shall be found in Paradise.
13. So, no matter what you are devising, as long as what you are devising is as a result of your own human understanding, borne out of human reasoning, it must disappoint you.
14. THE WORD OF GOD DOES NOT CALL FOR REASONING. IT CALLS FOR BELIEVING. AND WHEN YOU BELIEVE, YOU DOUBT NOTHING. THE MOMENT YOU DOUBT, FAITH IS OF NON-EFFECT.
15. Abraham believed without doubting. If Abraham had doubted, he would have asked questions, “Where are you leading me to? If I get there, in whose house will I sojourn? Where will I get the money to take care of these people that are with me? What will I be doing?”
16. Abraham asked no questions. Even when God commanded him as a show of love, to convince God that he loves God when God said, “Take your only son, Isaac; a child that was born out of due season. Go and sacrifice him on the Mount Moriah. Then, I will know that you really love me”, Abraham did not consult with himself. He consulted with no flesh and blood.
17. He took Isaac there, with the help of his boy servants. Then laying him there for a slaughter as a burnt offering, the LORD said, “Nay! Don’t! Look at your right. You will see a ram. Take that ram as a substitute. Now I know that you really love Me, by not withholding even Isaac, a son born out of due season. Now, your obedience to My command is fulfilled.”
18. Is there a commandment that should be more grievous than this? If you find it difficult to obey very light commandments, can you obey that one? And this is the faith of Abraham.
19. Then, if you be Christ, the Scripture said you are Abraham’s descendants, and heirs, according to the promise. Whatever God promised Abraham, that belongs to us. [Galatians 3:29 AMP]
20. GOD IS LOOKING FOR ONE [MAN OR WOMAN] WHO HE WILL BE LEADING BY HIS WORD; ONE WHO WILL HEAR THE WORD AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE WITHOUT ASKING QUESTIONS, DOUBTING NOTHING.
21. God is ever mindful of His Word. He watches over His Word, bringing it to pass. So your unbelief can never hinder God from doing that which He has already promised.
22. Since you said you will not enter Paradise and that the price is too much for you, there are people that are willing to pay the price, and they are already there.
23. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – THE BACKGROUND; Page 46 from verse 56.
24. 56If God will save you anyhow, what is the essence of preaching to you? THE WORD IS GIVEN TO REGULATE YOU AND ME, FOR WITHOUT THE WORD, YOU WILL NOT KNOW GOD’S RIGHTEOUS DEMAND FROM YOU.
25. 57How can I know God’s righteous demand from me? HOW CAN I ATTAIN THE PERFECT STATURE OF CHRIST IF HE DOES NOT GIVE OUT HIS WORD? How will I know when I have attained it and when I am struggling to attain it?
26. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – THE BACKGROUND; Page 53 from verse 13. 13Remember, we are waiting for time; time is not waiting for us. The whole mechanicshave been put together. The dynamicshave been put together. The Pilot is in the cockpit. The engine is zooming. The doors, windows locked: “Son of Man! Close the book. Seal up the testimony.”
27. The engine is zooming on the tarmac there. Once it starts rolling, it has rolled. No more stopping until you see it in the air. And it does not go out with speed.It is gradually, gradually.
28. 14You will know where we are by the time I will be talking, but let us finish reading Scriptures.
29. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – THE BACKGROUND; Page 56 from verse 22.22…Before you came into existence, a provision had been made. A conditional provision tied to your obedience to the revealed truth in your own day.
30. References were made to Caleb and Joshua concerning the people in their day, that they pattern after the two.
31. 23They did not have the faith that was found in Caleb and Joshua. They never united the faith with that of their leaders. They had different faith. They could not trust in the leader to guide them through. So, they leaned on their own understanding.
32. 24In Moses’ day, they leaned on their own understanding which warranted them to find fault with Moses. They leaned on their own understanding in Jesus’ day, which made them to find fault with Jesus. So it happened with the Apostles.
33. The same thing happened to Prophet Muhammad Raheem (PBUH). They misunderstood Him, misunderstood His mission. And they came all out to kill Him.
34. He ran away from Mecca to Medina, because the people He came to show the way to Paradise, the people He came to save and introduce to Allah found fault with Him.
35. They said,“He is a mere man; He is an imposter; He is a deceiver”, because He gave them the truth. They drove Him away! [Surah 64:6]
36. So they did to all the Prophets. Prophet Jeremiah was driven away and was falsely accused.
37. FIND OUT WHERE YOU BELONG, FOR THIS IS YOUR OWN DAY. YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL ACCOUNT TO ALMIGHTY GOD.
38. 25YOU MUST LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING FOR YOU TO FIND FAULT WITH A MAN GOD SENT IN YOUR DAY.
39. AND THE MOMENT YOU FIND FAULT, YOU CANNOT RELY ON HIM AGAIN. YOU CANNOT DEPEND ON HIM. YOU CANNOT EVEN TRUST HIM, NOT KNOWING THAT EVERY ACTION OF A MAN OF GOD IS GOD.
40. GOD IS BEHIND EVERY ACTION OF A MAN OF GOD TO FULFILL HIS PERFECT WILL. IT MAY NOT SINK WELL WITH YOU. YET, IT IS GOD’S ETERNAL PLAN.
41. 26Even if He goes about naked, God is behind it. Even if He heaps prostitutes around himself, God is behind Him. Even if He behaves like a mad man, God is behind Him. There is an eternal purpose God wants to fulfill.
42. 27YOU ARE NOT CALLED TO COME AND ARGUE WITH HIM. YOU ARE NOT CALLED TO COME AND CORRECT HIM. YOU ARE CALLED TO BELIEVE. YOU ARE CALLED TO BELIEVE.
43. But man, with adult sense, can you do this? “He has seen a fool. Am I a fool? It will take a fool to take him serious. So whatever he says, I should believe it like that? Even if he says I will die, I should agree I would die? Who is he? A mere man?”
44. What is the fellow applying? Adult sense! He does not have child-like heart and can never develop child-like faith. IT TAKES A CHILD-LIKE HEART TO DEVELOP A CHILDLIKE FAITH.
45. 27You are not called to come and correct Him. You are called to believe. You are called to believe. Believing means confiding in Him, depending on Him, leaning on Him [and] trusting in Him.
46. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – THE BACKGROUND; Page 60 from verse 34.
47. 34Now, this God whose voice we have heard, I want to show you what He said. St. Luke’s gospel chapter 12, verse 32. King James, Amplified. [32]FEAR NOT LITTLE FLOCK; FOR IT IS YOU FATHER’S GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM.
48. 35Have you seen the Father’s good pleasure which He purposed in Himself after the counsel of His own will before the world began? He went ahead preparing the Kingdom.
49. But when He bid them to come, they could not. He gave them the Word, intending to usher them into that rest. They heard it, but they did not believe.
50. 36They were paying lip service to it. Not even one was serious with it. Now, God is winding up His program with the whole world on a once-and-for-all basis, for the Personality Whom those that were in the grave, even from the time of Adam have been waiting for, is here at last.
51. 37AT LAST, HE IS HERE. … The Divine Personality they have been anticipating, groaning for, yearning to see, has at last appeared on the scene, authenticated and vindicated by God, even with supernatural signs that can never be impersonated, and with a direct Messagefrom the Kingdom of Heaven that can never be annulled by any human being.
52. God has conquered the world. Satan is in trouble. Yes. I am sure!
SONG: [Hallelujah, Christ has conquered the world. Hallelujah, Satan you are defeated. The Lord reigneth in my life today].
“I am the ELAH ELOHIM”, One that dwells with my family. I have my nuclear family, all of you are integral part of my family. Now, if I am exalted the next person you check by my side will be my wife. Wherever my photograph is, she will be placed beside mine. What if she never married me? She has been rightly placed because I am rightly placed. She is being placed in a dignified position because the husband is in a dignified position.

DIGNIFIED INCLUSION
THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – THE BACKGROUND; Page 66 from verse 4.4…Gospel according to Matthew chapter 22 verses 1 through 14.King James Version.[1]And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a certain king,
2. 5The Kingdom of what? Are we talking about the Kingdom of God now? Are we talking of the Church? THE CHURCH [THE KINGDOM OF GOD]PREPARES YOU FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
3. IF AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU END IT STAYING IN THE CHURCH, YOU ARE THE MOST MISERABLE HUMAN BEING. …
4. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – THE BACKGROUND; Page 71 from verse 22.
5. Matthew 22:11. KJV22[11]And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
6. A man. He was not clothed with God’s guidelines, but he was clothed with adult sense and leaning on his own personal understanding, opinion and feeling.
7. THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS I TOLD YOU THE OTHER DAY, THAT YOUR FIVE SENSES SLOWLY ISOLATE YOU FROM CHRIST. YOUR FIVE SENSES WHEN APPLIED TO THE WORD OF GOD WILL QUARANTINE YOU, DECLARE YOU LEPROUS. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
8. THE BRIDE WILL BE CLOTHED, WRAPPED BY THE WORD OF GOD, FROM HEAD TO TOE. WHEN YOU ARE WRAPPED IN THE WORD OF GOD AND YOU ARE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, YOU HAVE THE TICKET TO PARADISE.
9. But adult sense, leaning on your own understanding, forming an opinion about the Faith, devising your own way, the way you want to follow will produce,“It is not everything that will be obeyed. Not everything! And then, we shall be following it gradually.
10. There is no need, after all it cannotend. Can going to church ever end? Going to church does not end. Does worshipping God end? Worshipping God does not end. Going to church does not end. It is gradually.”
11. What is producing all these things? Adult sense. What will it do? It is removing you and isolating you from the Word of God, which is truth. For you are setting aside what you are given which should form your garment.
12. You refuse it, and then made up your mind that you do not want to go away from the Assembly of those who are wearing the dress. Did you get the Message?
13. Everybody, all of them that were captured on the streets, they were not given any prior notice, and they were jubilating that they were going to be ushered into a banquet they do not merit, for the people that merited it refused to come.
14. Those who do not have the quality to be there were given the privilege. They availed themselves of the wonderful privilege to come and dine with the king.
15. They put on the dress, which was the only requirement. A dress you never made. He [the King] made the dress with his own money. He prepared the banquet with his own money. Your duty is just to come in. He equally sent people to come and bring you.
16. Do you feel ashamed attending an occasion where you were duly given an invitation? If you are invited to a party, do you feel ashamed? This is because you are holding invitation card which is your ticket.With that ticket, you can eat with the kings and rulers.
17. I cannot forget what happened many years back when my brother-in-law performed a feat by producing the first fire fighting vehicle in the whole of Africa, at Nsukka inCOSPAM Engineering.
18. Then, the honourable Minister of Industry came all the way from Lagos and opened it. The then military administrator of the then Anambra State when it was created was Colonel Ochefu.
19. He came, together with the honourable Minister of Industry, MammamMagoro, to open the industry and then admire the fire fighting vehicle, which was the first in Africa.
20. Guests were there in thousands, from Nsukka and from all walks of life. They were general guests.
21. Because of My membership of Engineer OkeyDibua’s family; Listen to Me. I may be qualified like every other person to be in the general audience whether invited or not invited, but I was given a celebrated seat where the whole governors in Nigeria and the Ministers were seated.
22. The whole dignitaries were there. All Professors of Engineers were there. His own ALUMNI Association of Moscow International University, Russia were there. Then, there was one small card they called, “Special Guest”
23. The“Special Guest”cards were given to those dignitaries. Eventually, they gave Me one. I held it firmly. I was also holding the general invitation card and also holding the special guest.
24. So, when the people started entertaining the crowd with drinks and food, musicians were giving the music and people were dancing, I saw many official vehicles. As at that time, they were all brand new 504 Peugeot salon.
25. There were many of them. The cars were just lined up like that and they were ushering us in. Each vehicle had a driver and a policeman in front. The back would carry two dignitaries, husband and wife or some in twos.
26. Some people thought they would be there, but when they got there, that Special Guest card was demanded, they were holding the general invitation. But what they were using to usher people in was the “Special Guest” invitation card.
27. It got to My turn, I said in utter surprise, “What is happening here? So, I can follow these people?” They said that I should enter when I presented the “Special Guest” invitation card. I entered.
28. Another person entered.Ogugua and the wife entered. Binta and Paul, because Paul came from America and lodged at one hotel here in Omagba, with fried hair. Binta was carrying camera with a waistcoat. All the members of the family also entered.
29. Because of My membership of the family, I was given a dignified inclusion. I attended a party I was not qualified even to come near the gate. I was given a position I could not dream of all My life.
30. They drove all of us, while the rest were being attended to in the open field. All of us in those special vehicles were taken to Ikenga Hotels, Nsukka.
31. There at Ikenga Hotels, every table had a number, and it was two persons per table. So, you go to the table where your number is. Whatever that is there, including gifts, food, everything, stay there.
32. There was super air-condition with police securities. And I looked at Myself;I saw military officers. I saw Governor Ochefu. I saw others and exclaimed within Me, “Is this how the Kingdom of Heaven is? I have entered Paradise.”
33. Come and see the red carpet. And I started listening to the music from the ceiling, with everywhere conducive.
34. What gave Me that ticket? Why was I able to be given the ticket? The family I identified with recognized Me andgave Me a dignified inclusion, for the family was dignified by what their son produced which attracted the cream of Africa and the whole world.
35. All the members of that family automatically collected express Special Guest card. Even if a mad man is from that family, the fellow would have followed us. That mad man would have been there.
36. But what if it was given to Me and I threw it away or I said that I do not want, “Engineer Okey is My brother-in-law. We are the people organizing this thing. If you are going, Go. Let Me stay here. Let Me stay here.”
37. I am typing the crowd to be the Church. The crowd represents the Church that got general invitation. Both the devil and any other person will be there.
38. The “Special Guest” card, that one is for the elected ones. Did you get the Message?
39. You must strive to make sure your calling and election stand sure by working yourself into the heart of He that God has sent, that you may obtain a special card.
40. So that when you get there, God will say welcome. He will not welcome you as an enemy. He will welcome you as a friend, “O friends, you are happily welcome. Take your seats.” He will just usher you. Yes!
41. That is why we have that song: [That time, the angels will say, “Welcome good child. Good child. My child has come back.]The angels will lead us and usher us in.
42. GOD HAS GIVEN US DIGNIFIED INCLUSION. IT BEHOOVES US NOW TO PUT ON THE BANQUET GARMENT WHICH WE NEVER MADE. IS IT NOT TRUE?
43. SONG: [The windows of Heaven are open. The blessings are falling today. There is joy, joy, joy in my heart, for Saviour makes everything right. I gave Him my old tattered garment. He gave me a robe of pure white. I am feasting today on the manna. And that is why I am happy today.
Remember I have declared you forgiven and cleansed with a warning that you should go and sin no more. SIN MEANS DISOBEDIENCE TO MY INSTRUCTION.
HE HAS COME, HE HAS GONE; Preached on 23rd September 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 118 vs. 36

THE LAST SPIRITUAL REAWAKENING [1]
THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [THE BACKGROUND]; Page 71 from verse 23. [Matthew 22:13 – 14. KJV]
2. [13]Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.[14]FOR MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN.
3. Why? Do you know why? He [the cast away] is someone who does not like good things. That was why his own was collected. Did you get what I said?
4. He said, “Friend, how camestthou in hither, without your own wedding garment? What happened to your own? Were you not given?”The Bible said he became speechless. [Matthew 22:12]
5. A sure sign that it was given to him but he did not accept it. HE FELT THAT THE ONE HE WAS WEARING WAS BETTER THAN THE ONE HE WAS GIVEN.
6. “Is there anything wrong with this one? Is there anything wrong with my own? I wear it to church. I wear it to do special occasions. Please, keep this one by the side.”
7. He thought that those giving it to him were fools. He was just seated, looking around and he was asked, “My friend, why are you different from the rest? Why are you not rejoicing?”
8. You must know the basis of our rejoicing. The basis of our rejoicing is because we are taking side with God. And God has recognized that we are taking side with Him. What happened?
9. He was asked, “Friend, how come you are sitting down amidst all these people wearing white? Where is your own?” He became speechless.
10. Now, he realized the importance of the gift he was given free. You did not make the clothes. Maybe he thought he would be asked to pay for it.
11. He started applying human sense. “I do not have the money to pay for this clothes o. Moreso, I was loafing about before I was brought here,I never thought that I would come to a place like this. Will it be better for me?
12. Instead of accepting by faith, he started objecting, “Since we were there and you arrested us, what if when we get there you say we should pay. We never knew such a thing will come to us; unless you will give us on credit so that when we get home, we will pay.”
13. Even that same man, if he is served food, he will not eat. He will be skeptical. “How much will this food cost? How much?” He will be asking how much he will pay.
14. He will remain asking how much he will pay until the Host that called for the banquet will come asking, “Does food kill you? Are you observing fasting and praying? Why are you not eating?”
15. The Host will give an order, “Okay, collect it! Give it to somebody else. My friend, show him the way out.”
16. Did you get it? That is why you do not give a good thing to the dog, for the dog will not appreciate it. Why was he speechless?
17. That is why, whenever you come before God in judgment, you can never open your mouth, for what you will see is what you ought to have done, which you refused to do.
18. And God gave you the greatest opportunity, brought it to your doorstep. The food does not belong to you. Even the cloth and everything you were going to eat was prepared for people who refused to take. And you began to reason, applying adult sense.
19. Would it not be better that you accepted the food and put on the clothe so that when the demand for payment will be made, you will know that you are not the only one involved?
20. I will not be stranded. I have eaten. That’s the joy. I have already put on the clothe. If the wedding garment is collected from me, did I come to the bouquet naked? I will still have my own on.
21. Song:[I gave Him my old tattered garment.He gave me a robe of pure white. I am feasting today on the manna. And that is why I am happy today.]
22. Nobody will ever be pulling your clothe up. If you pull it, you will see old one, tattered and dirty. It has been covered.
23. If you ask Me why I am happy, I will tell you it is because My sins are covered. My sins are covered. My sins are covered. Ask Me why I am happy. My sins are covered.
24. They are under the blood. They are under the blood. The blood of Christ has covered it. I am hiding Myself under the cover of the blood, for God is not seeing Me. He is seeing the blood.
25. Song: [When I see the blood. When I, when I see the blood. when I, when I see the blood, I will pass, will pass over you.]
26. HE SAID, “BY ONE SINGLE SACRIFICE, HE HAS PERFECTED ALL THAT WILL COME TO HIM, ASKING FOR SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST, THE ANOINTED ONE, THE MESSIAH. [Hebrews 10:14]
27. NO OTHER SACRIFICE IS NEEDED. YOU ARE NOT MAKING ANY OTHER PAYMENT.
28. Song: [It is finished. The price Christ paid on the cross. There is no other sin left. Do you know it is finished? It is finished. It is finished. There is no other sin left.]
29. God is great and must be greatly worshipped. When God has touched your life, opened your eyes and you begin to see your position in God, when the devil talks, you just look at him and say, “Get out! Go behind me, you Satan! I gave you audience before, but not now.”
LAST MINUTE SPIRITUAL REAWAKENING
30. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [THE BACKGROUND]; Page 72 from verse 24. 24Luke chapter 14 verses 16 to 24. Amplified version. [16]But Jesus said to him, A man was once giving a great supper and invited many; [17]And at the hour for the supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all is now ready.
31. [18]But they all alike began to make excuses and to beg off. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and I have to go out and see it; I beg you, have me excused.
32. [19]And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine and put my approval on them; I beg you, have me excused.
33. [20]And another said, I have married a wife, and because of this I am unable to come.
34. Can you see? Can you see? For whatever excuse you have which you want to give, God will ask, “Have you finished? Go ahead!” Since you valued it more than eternal life, God will approve it for you.
35. [21]So the servant came and reported these [answers] to his master.
36. 24THEN THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE SAID IN WRATH TO HIS SERVANT, Go quickly into the great streets and the small streets…
37. Note! He said it in wrath and anger that he had been labouring all these years, thinking he had been carrying them all along and that they were with him, only to discover that they were one million miles away from Him.
38. They were merely following with their lips, but their hearts were too far. In wrath, He said, “Okay, let Me show them that I am the Saviour and I have the power to justify the ungodly. Go and bring these people. I will declare them righteous. Let them be fixed. I will be there, using those things that do not worth anything to humiliate those people that are using their senses, that said they are wise and understanding.” [1 Corinthians 1:26 – 29]
39. 26And yet there is space for other people.[22]Then the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and urge and constrain [them] to yield and come in,…
40. Constrain them to yield and come in, persuade them to follow you. You know those they brought in from parks, highways; motor park touts, those who are mentally ill.
41. And these are the people that will value it, not the people that feel that they can make it, “What will he give us which we cannot provide? Is it the dress that we do not have? Is it food? Please, let us leave that and go for that which is important to us.”
42. 35WHAT WILL DECIDE IS ALREADY HERE. THE DECIDER IS HERE. That is why I gave you Messages, [1] YOU MUST KNOW YOUR STATUS IN CHRIST. [2] YOU MUST KNOW YOUR STATUS IN THE SON OF MAN, for THE SON OF MAN is Christ.”
43. 36No man ever goeth to the Father if not through Me, for in Me is the Father revealed. [John 14:6 – 7] I and My Father are one. [John 10:30] I am in My father, [and] My Father is in Me. [John 14:11] I can of Myself do nothing but whatever He commands, that I will do[John 5:30]. He that sent Me is still with Me. The Father has never left Me, for I still do those things that please Him. [John 8:29]
44. 37NOW YOU ARE THE FIRST FRUITS THAT OUGHT TO OCCUPY THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN THIS GENERATION, FOR UNTO YOU GOD FIRST APPEARED, UNTO YOU GOD FIRST REVEALED HIMSELF AND THE VOICE WENT FORTH FROM AMONG YOU, EVEN THE WORD THAT IS SHAKING THE HOUR.
45. 38BY RIGHT, THE KINGDOM BELONGS TO YOU. IT IS YOUR FATHER’S GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM, BUT YOU MAY NOT GET IT IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL.
46. 39THERE SHOULD BE A LAST MINUTE REAWAKENING, SPIRITUAL REAWAKENING IN THE BRIDE OR ELSE, SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. …
47. 2017! In 2017, the warning went forth. THERE MUST BE THE LAST SPIRITUAL REAWAKENING.
48. 39THERE SHOULD BE A LAST MINUTE REAWAKENING, SPIRITUAL REAWAKENING IN THE BRIDE OR ELSE SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. …
49. Is it not what is taking place now in every home, in every family and in every individual? LAST MINUTE SPIRITUAL REAWAKENING.
50. 39THERE SHOULD BE A LAST MINUTE REAWAKENING, SPIRITUAL REAWAKENING IN THE BRIDE OR ELSE SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. FOR THE FACT THAT YOU COULD SEE WHAT I TOLD YOU HAPPENING.
51. 40THOSE YOU THOUGHT WERE OUT OF THE WAY, I TOLD YOU NOBODY HAS EVER ABANDONED THIS FAITH. THEY ARE STILL HERE.
52. AT THE DYING MINUTE, YOU WILL SEE THEM FLYING IN. NOBODY WILL COMPEL THEM. BUT THERE WAS A STATEMENT THAT ANYONE THAT IS COMING, IS COMING TO REPLACE SOMEBODY.
53. 41Did you hear that? That is why you were told and enjoined to be careful, lest another person takes your crown. If you are not careful, another person will take your crown, another person will take your seat. You forfeit your ticket.
54. Why? You are sitting down when your Master is still standing. You went to bed when your Master is still wide awake.
55. When He said, “AWAKE, THOU THAT SLEEPETH FOR THE NIGHT IS FAR SPENT, FOR YOUR SALVATION DRAWETH NEARER NOW THAN WHEN YOU FIRST BELIEVED”, you ignored it and went to bed when your master is still walking around the compound.
56. 41…If you are not careful, another person will take your crown, another person will take your seat. You forfeit your ticket, for there is no provision that “once saved is always saved,” even if you are found in unbelief.
57. 42You heard it loud and clear that God can bless you in everything, He will never bless you in unbelief. Unbelief has remained the bane of all generations. Have you escaped it? it is not too far. It is not a big deal. The first fruit to whom the Kingdom is meant.
58. 43For your sake, the Messiah was sent and you were bid to come and you promised you would come. You have been fully furnished, but the hour has come for us to decide, take our final decisions, excuse started coming. …
59. 44…There is nothing you will never use to excuse yourself out of the Kingdom of Heaven. THE DEVIL IS AT WORK NOW TO HELP YOU TO EXCUSE YOURSELF OUT OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
60. THE DEVIL IS AT WORK NOW TO HELP YOU TO EXCUSE YOURSELF OUT OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
61. THE DEVIL IS AT WORK NOW TO HELP YOU TO EXCUSE YOURSELF OUT OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
62. And the Bible said that he [the prince of the air] is constantly at work among the children of disobedience.
63. THE DEVIL CAN NEVER WORK IN SOMEBODY WHO IS CONSTANTLY FOUND IN OBEDIENCE.
64. HE IS CONSTANTLY OBEYING THE WILL OF GOD. HE CREATES NO ROOM FOR THE DEVIL TO WORK IN HIM OR ANNOY HIM. THAT IS THE PERSON THAT HAS THE HOPE HANGING.
65. HIS HOPE IS STILL ALIVE. HIS HOPE IS EVEN RENEWED EVERY DAY. MORESO, WHEN HE SEES THE PROMISES OF GOD COMING TO PASS.
A TIME IS COMING WHEN MANY PEOPLE WILL DO MANY THINGS IN MY NAME, BUT WHEREVER YOU ARE AND YOU HEAR THAT THE SON OF MAN SAYS, SAY AMEN BUT GO AND VERIFY, FOR THIS IS THE HOUR YOU MUST WORK CLOSE TO THE GUIDE OR YOU PERISH. MANY WILL BE COMING TO YOU IN MY NAME FROM NOW TO DECEIVE YOU, BUT I AM WARNING YOU AHEAD OF TIME THAT WE KNOW THAT IT IS A MAN’S MINISTRY. IT IS NOT OUR MINISTRY. RATHER, IT IS HIS MINISTRY.

THE LAST SPIRITUAL REAWAKENING [2]
THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [THE BACKGROUND]; Page 81 from verse 48 48The mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven. I will explain this message with time. Where I stop, events will help Me to finish up.
2. 49Saint Mathew’s gospel chapter 7 verses 21 through 23. KJV [21]Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord…
3. 50Not everyone. A time came, He said, “You call Me Master and Lord. That is what I am. But if I be your Master and Lord, why do you not obey Me?[John 13:13 – 14]
4. IF I BE YOUR MASTER AND LORD, WHY DO YOU TAKE PLEASURE IN DISOBEYING MY WORDS?
5. 53WHAT ARE WE DISCUSSING? KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND CONDITIONS FOR ENTERING. NOT KINGDOM OF GOD WHERE YOU ARE.
6. 54WE ARE ABOUT TO ENTER THE INNER COURT OR THE INNER MOST COURT, THE HOLY OF HOLIES WHERE WE SHALL REIGN FOREVER AND EVER.
7. 55Begin now to think of yourself. Do not look at your brother, do not look at your sister. Try to find yourself inside what I am saying.
8. Whatever you are looking for is what you will see. If you are looking to see your brother, you will see your brother. If you are looking into the Message to see yourself, you will see yourself.
9. Not everyone that calls Me Lord, Lord will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
73. 62… When you go to the bank, it does not require anybody to welcome you to the bank.
74. 63The electronic door is there to accept you or reject you. You do not bribe the electronic door. Whatever will stop you from entering is already in there.
75. You may have it without knowing. Even if they open it. That is the outer gate [and] you enter, the thing will not get to the end, you will be hearing a voice saying, “This man is not worthy to enter. This customer is not worthy to enter. …”
76. He is undesirable. He is an undesirable customer. He is an unwanted customer.
77. 85Matthew 7:22, KJV.[22]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out Devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?
78. 86Have I not told you, “In thy name”, all to get Him convinced that they were with Him,
79. 87but He knows those that are with Him and those that are merely playing pranks using authorities that were conferred on them to go and carry out those assignments. They attach salvation there. Salvation is not there.
80. They used assignments that are assigned to them, authorities conferred on them to play pranks. They now attached salvation and eternal life to it, which is not true.
81. THEY USED ASSIGNMENTS TO REPLACE OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD, WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE PLACED FIRST.
82. THEY DID NOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD FIRST AND ITS RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS HIDDEN IN OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD.
83. THEY CHOSE TO GO THE POPULAR WAY, SO THAT THEY WILL BE THE FRIENDS OF THE WORLD AND ENEMIES OF GOD.
84. 89Matthew 7:23, KJV.[23]And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you…
85. 90I never knew you because you could not meet Me in the Word which is the meeting point between God and His people.Sure!!! They never met in the Word. They met carnally.
86. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [THE BACKGROUND]; Page 97 from verse 10.
87. 10NOT ALL THAT ARE HERE CAME FOR ETERNAL LIFE. WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS TRUTH. IF YOU CAME FOR ETERNAL LIFE, THERE IS NO INSTRUCTION THAT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO OBEY.
88. WHOEVER THAT IS QUARRELLING AND COMPLAINING, MURMURING HAS NOT COME FOR ETERNAL LIFE.
89. Again! NOT ALL THAT ARE HERE CAME FOR ETERNAL LIFE. WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS TRUTH. IF YOU CAME FOR ETERNAL LIFE, THERE IS NO INSTRUCTION THAT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO OBEY.
90. WHOEVER THAT IS QUARRELLING AND COMPLAINING, MURMURING HAS NOT COME FOR ETERNAL LIFE.
91. Page 103 verse 34. 34Whatever standard God has placed there before all of us, attempting the shortcuts makes your journey longer. THE SHORTEST CUT IS THE ROUTE OF OBEDIENCE.
92. OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH, OBEDIENCE TO THE REVEALED WORD IN YOUR DAY IS THE SHORTEST CUT. THAT IS THE STRAIGHTWAY. Perverting it makes your journey longer.
93. For the Lord your God shall raise from among you one of you as His mouthpiece. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
94. It was those that were still awake that were ushered in. Those that were absent were never recognized.Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour.
95. Luke chapter 21 from verse 34 through 36. Amplified version of the Bible.[34]But take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with the giddiness and headache and nausea of self-indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to [the business of] this life, and [lest] that day come upon you suddenly like a trap or a noose;
96. [35]For it will come upon all who live upon the face of the entire earth.
97. [36]Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of THE SON OF MAN.
98. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [BACKGROUND];Page 122 from verse 45
99. 45Mathew 25 from verse 32, KJV. 46[32]And before him shall be gathered all nations…
100. 47Before who? He, the Lord shall be gathered all nations. Wherever the gospel of the Kingdom have been preached, people must come from there, for the end will not come until the Gospel of the Kingdom be preached throughout all the nations of the world and that has been accomplished by THE SON OF MAN.
101. 48For He is the Arch Angel that came with the everlasting Gospel that has now encircled the whole earth and before Him shall be gathered people from all the nations and He will separate them into two distinct blocks, the sheep and the goat, place them where they rightly belong; right hand side, left hand side.
102. Any side He places you determines your reward, [and also] determines your destiny. And you have to work to earn yourself a place either in the right hand or in the left hand. For your character places you where you will be.
103. THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [BACKGROUND];Page 131 from verse 74.
104. 74A time came when fishermen like Peter, James and John toiled all the night till morning, they got no fish. They were tired, they were about to pack home, because they were leaning on their own understanding.
105. 75The Master asked them to continue, they said, “No, we have toiled everywhere, throughout the night and we have got nothing. We stayed awake throughout the night.”
106. They got tired and they came out empty-handed. If you go ahead of God, you will die while running. You cannot use your common sense, adult sense, without getting tired before the time.
107. And by the time you will be very much tired, your boat will be empty. Your life will also be empty. Yet, you are tired.
108. This is because nothing wearies human beings down more than trying to reason out the Word of God; trying to change the Word of God to suit their taste.
109. Instead of adjusting themselves to suit the Word of God, they want to adjust the Word of God to suit their behaviour. Is it a good thing? It wearies them down.
110. You see, Peter was there giving excuse because he applied human sense. He toiled in the deep waters overnight and came out empty-handed.
111. It is not how long you spent while fishing that matters, but what did you catch? I slept in the waters. How many fishes are in your boat? Empty! Now the Master wants him to walk by Faith and not by sense.
112. A professional footballer who does not apply faith on the instruction given by the coach will be removed from that pitch.
113. SO IT IS IN EVERYTHING WE DO IN THIS LIFE. FAITH IS THE KEY. FAITH IS THE KEY, AND FAITH IN THE WORD OF GOD GIVES THE VICTORY.
114. Page 133 verse 84. 84And I say unto you, there is not even an iota of your labour of love in Christ that shall go unrewarded. For God who knoweth all things, searches the hearts of all.
115. He knows all your ways; He knows all your heart desires and will reward every one of you according as your works shall be, whether they be good or bad. …
116. 85Walk with wisdom and you will not regret indeed. Wisdom demands that you shun the wrong and do the right. On this note, I say thank you and remain blessed in Him eternally. Amen.
117. We invite pastor Wisdom to come and dismiss us.
EPILOGUE
Remain blessed Brethren. Let us give a wonderful round of applause to God if we are really blessed today.
2. This is a wonderful day in this family. Today, on behalf of everybody in this family and our family annexes, we are wishing Daddy and Mummy a happy 32nd anniversary of their marriage.
3. It is from this marriage that we came forth asfruits. And we are telling you that you are yet to reap more of your blessings.
4. This is just the beginning. We all that are your children, even those that are not from your loins and that have been adopted into this Great Family, we are promising to make you proud, and we will celebrate more anniversary together in Paradise.
5. That is our biggest prayer and we wish you more life, more strength, more grace in all your ways. God will keep on blessing you for showing us this way of truth.
6. Some people, their parents took them to idols, took them to many things, but you gave us this way of life, this honoured way and we say “THANK YOU”.
7. We are really grateful to come from your loins and remain eternally blessed. With this hope and with this joy, we continue and enter Paradise. This is our prayer.
8. Let us rise on our feet as we close the gathering with a word of prayer.

34. Finish that good work You have started in us O Lord, because we know You have no uncompleted project O Lord. Father in our lives, complete that work You have started in us O Lord.
35. Never allow any fear to creep into us and to start questioning our position in You O Lord. May we stand upon that promise You have made O Lord and consolidate our position O Lord. During this hour of replacement O Lord, Father may we never be replaced O Lord.
36. Rather, may we be garrisoned and chained in our position in You O LORD.
37. Father King of glory we say thank You for Your abundant mercies and abundant love O Lord. Father, may Your spirit continue to dwell among us O Lord.
38. May Your Spirit continue to saturate the hearts of those that believe Your Word O Lord. May Your Spirit continue to saturate our hearts, one by one O Lord.
39. But those that have sealed their minds O Lord, that they are going to go against Your Word, Father King of glory, reward them O Lord. Father that day that You will be rewarding people, reward us with good O Lord.
40. Father KING of Kings and LORD of Lords, we thank You O Lord for the journey so far. And we thank You God for answering our prayers. Take all glory. Take all honour, Father, for we pray through the mighty name Peter The Christ our Lord. Amen.
