OBEY THE WORDS OF THE SON OF MAN AND BE SURE OF ETERNAL LIFE PART 1 Preached During Morning Altar ON Tuesday 28th July, 2020. AT The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN
If God is dwelling in Me, I am God to you. If God decided to use Me as the only Badger skin He will put on and I minister Life to you, in other words, I am now God to you. You are My people. I do not want to put you in the dark for time has run out on us. We do not have much time to be chatting and playing. This time around, pay attention.
BEHOLD YOU GOD COMETH; preached on Sunday 8th June, 1997 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 43 vs. 15 – 16
PROLOGUE
PRAYER
Our Heavenly Father, we have gathered at Thy feet these early hours of the morning because You bid us to come.
2. SONG: [Just as I am without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me. And thou that bidst me come to Thee, O Lamb of God I come, I come.]
3. We have come because You bid us to come. We have come presenting ourselves to You under the blood of Christ that was shed on our behalf, and in Whom we have believed O God to the saving of our souls;
4. For You had already said in the Holy Scriptures that if we believe in Him we shall be completely absolved from all the guilt, shame, reproach and ridicule, Father, and from all that are associated with iniquity which could not have been pardoned and set free if we were to live our lives under the laws of Moses.
5. Father, we really thank You for we have believed in Him. Justify us through our faith. Consider not O God, the works of the flesh, for the flesh profiteth nothing.
6. And by the deeds of the flesh Father, has no man ever been declared righteous. By the deeds of the flesh, has no man ever attained perfection.
7. For that reason O God, I present this Family and all that have been adopted into this Family, and all Your Elect worldwide, Father who listen to My Voice every day; who have believed that Thou hast sent Me in this generation for their salvation and for their eternal life; for their peace and comfort; Father, for their healing, for their salvation and for their release from captivity in the hand of the devil.
8. As many as have believed that I AM HE AND THERE IS NO OTHER, wherever they may be, Father in all the four corners of the earth, Lord, I am making this request on their behalf.
9. Elect or no elect, provided they have anchored their faith in THE SON OF MAN, believing in His teachings O God; believing that Thou has sent Me in this generation as a Saviour and as a Judge of the whole earth, save all of them to the utmost.
10. Let there be not even one that will get lost. Whatever that might be their transgressions Father, pardon all.
11. When Hezekiah, an ordinary king, made this type of intercession I am making this early hours of the morning on behalf of all the priest who were unpurified, Father even to enter the sanctuary to render acceptable sacrifices, he noticed that the rituals they will be indulging in will be very great and time will be against Him, Lord, he opened his mouth, conferred with authority O God as a king over them all.
12. He made a proclamation, Father saying that he has pardoned all, and that they are all cleansed and pleaded with You to declare all of them cleansed, sanctified, holy and perfect, that they might enter and perform their sacrifices unto You Father.
13. You harkened to his prayers and all of them entered in cleansed by the spoken word, no longer by the rituals and not of animal sacrifices.
14. Father, if that could happen in that old order, O I expect You O Lord to do more in this new arrangement You have put together; a new covenant altogether, established on better promises, sealed with the blood of Christ, and not the blood of animals. The blood that speaketh greater things than the blood of Abel.
15. There O God, we hide under the cover of that blood; I make the solemn request, hold nothing against anybody who has sincerely O God and honestly clung to THE SON OF MAN; believing in Him, trusting in Him, confiding in Him, relying on Him; and a heart that is willing O God to do a service to You according to Your perfect will, without wavering, without doubt, without hypocrisy and without eye service.
16. Father, search the whole earth. Wherever You see a noble heart, co-opt that person O God into this Ark of salvation that is still empty. It is still empty O Lord, for I have not even loaded up to one-quarter, for what is being returned is not pleasing to Me. It is very appalling.
17. Too many people are surging to the websites. Too many people are hearing My Voice every day. Father, I expect a larger return than what is being returned. The number is not pleasing to Me from all the ends of the earth.
18. Father, in Your Justice, remember mercy. In Your Mercy O God; Father in Your Love O God; I pray, increase the number of people, Father that will be saved. Do not restrict it to what I have right now. Father it is nothing to write home about.
19. I therefore plead with You to extend Your mercies even to the streets, to the high-ways, to the waters, to the mountains, to the valleys, to all prison yards, all hospitals and everywhere.
20. Father, where human beings are breathing, even under the caves. Father, those that are in the quarry, extend it there. Do not leave any stone unturned. Increased the number O God. This is My plea.
21. We that are already in the ark, help us to get settled and hold on to the profession of our faith, without wavering unto the end.
22. I make a solemn request concerning my extant family in Port Harcourt, in Lagos, in Nsukka, and our son, the first son of this family, the Pastor in charge at Enugu.
23. Father Divine, overhaul all of them. Co-opt them into this morning Message, spiritually and physically. Do not allow any to get lost, for they are the pride of this Family; the pride of the Bride.
24. Father, I bow to Your respect, to Your reverence and to Your honour. I say take all the glory, take all the honour, take all the victory Father, for hearing My plea.
25. Do O God that which is right, for the Almighty can never do iniquity. To Your Name O God, I make My request, believing You will hear Me as the only Voice You listen to.
26. I am presenting My request to You on My behalf, on the behalf of My Family, and as a Representative also and a Mediator of a new and a better covenant which is renewed by the revelation of THE SON OF MAN in this last age.
27. Hear My cry. Hear My plea. Hear My prayer on the behalf of all I have mentioned O God, before You this morning. For Your Name’s sake I make this solemn request. Amen.
1……Did our Gospel not tell you that I am the Urim Thummim of the Faith, where Truth is verified and proved? Do you remember what happened in the beginning? Have you forgotten? …… 2I am HE, the Urim and Thummim. I am on the scene to confirm the Truth. Believe it if you can [20th July, 2010] ……

GOD REQUIRES YOUR EXPERIENCE, NOT KNOWLEDGE
We want to consider a Message; a pastoral Message from our extant Family in Lagos. When I got this Message, I was thrilled and I said, “This is number two, coming from My number two son-in-law.”
2. I had already considered one that came from Nsukka, and I am expecting more from there because it gives Me the opportunity to watch them and their behaviours in line with what they have believed. So I watch every other person.
3. IT IS NOT WRITING A MESSAGE THAT MATTERS. ANYBODY CAN SIT DOWN AND SCRIBBLE ANYTHING INTELLIGENTLY OR ACADEMICALLY. THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR.
4. Remember, in My circular letter which I issued to all; no exemption, Minister or no Minister, for every Brother is a Minister; every Sister is a Minister, ministering in one way or the other; ministering according to the level of spirit God has bestowed on them; and the level of gift God has bestowed upon all.
5. SO WE MAY NOT ALL BE PREACHERS. I HOPE I AM MAKING SENSE? I WANT TO SEE A SITUATION WHERE SOMEBODY WILL DOCUMENT WHAT I WILL USE TO JUDGE HIS BEHAVIOUR. I AM BELIEVING THAT THEY ARE WRITING NOTHING BUT THEIR CHARACTERS; NOT THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE MESSAGE.
6. Anybody can sit down comfortably in his parlour now and write his knowledge of the Message. It is not what THE SON OF MAN is looking for.
7. That is why I have decided not to allow the publication Ministry to publish everything they are receiving, for whatever that is received will be presented to Me.
8. I am the URIM THUMMIM of the Bride. If it does not reflect light in the writer, that means the writer wrote in darkness. He wrote knowledge; he never wrote experience. You can write knowledge and not experience.
9. I want all of them far and near to hear Me and know that I do not publish things anyhow.
10. As the URIM THUMMIM whatever that is written, I present the writer. I do not present his works; I present the writer.
11. If the Light in My heart does not reflect; if it does not shine; if it does not blink, Oh! I will know that the writer documented intelligently; He documented academic knowledge; he never documented his practical experience.
12. What THE SON OF MAN is expecting is a documentation of your own life testimony, a practical experience based on what Christ has wrought in your life as a result of the Messages of God; doctrines of Christ you have believed.
13. That is what I am expecting to have. And those that fall within this ambit are the people I publish their works.
14. You can write better than anybody because you are educated academically, because you are intelligent above the people around you, but you can never be much more educated than God or more intelligent than God.
15. Brethren listen to the works, but God examines the works of the writer, whether the works of the writer are evil or godly.
16. God examines the hand that wrote it; the heart and the spirit that inspired the writer, for I know that this time around, too many so called Ministers will settle down in their parlours to write so as to please THE SON OF MAN; to show Me that they have been with Me all this while, and that they have academic knowledge.
17. They have in-depth knowledge of the Faith academically, but they do not know that it is not my yardstick; It is not my measuring rod.
18. MY MEASURING ROD IS THAT I KNOW YOU; I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. AND I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MANIFESTING THERE IN YOUR WORK PLACE, ON THE STREET, IN THE MARKET.
19. I KNOW YOUR FAMILY. I KNOW THE SPIRIT THAT IS OPERATING IN YOUR FAMILY. IF YOU ARE A MASTER OVER YOUR FAMILY, I KNOW. IF YOUR FAMILY IS A MASTER OVER YOU, I KNOW. I KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES.
20. So when documenting, be very careful. That is why I said, “If you are sure and certain that your life is reflecting the Gospel, document your Message. I, THE SON OF MAN will publish it to help the Brethren worldwide.”
21. But where you know that you are living a contrary life, though you may have full academic knowledge of the teachings of THE SON OF MAN; and you are highly intelligent; You can be a scribe who knows how to put things together to get his audience convinced; please, that type of smartness will lead you to hellfire.
22. God is not expecting or looking for that type of smartness, intelligent write-up or academic write-up because you have the knowledge, but the zeal to worship God is not there.
23. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ONE WITH IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. I AM LOOKING FOR ONE WHO HAS ABSOLUTE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF THE TRUTH; PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF THE TRUTH.
24. THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH CAN NEVER TAKE YOU ANYWHERE. IT MAKES YOU AN ELOQUENT WRITER, ELOQUENT SPEAKER, A FREELANCER AND A SCRIBE BEFORE THE SON OF MAN.
25. Others who are hearing the Message may be jubilating, but THE SON OF MAN is not like them. That is why I do not publish everything.
26. So whoever that writes and his own is not published should know that something is wrong somewhere. It might not be with the Message he wrote, but with himself. This is because when you hold the Word of God in unrighteousness, you make it of non-effect.
27. God is not only interested in what you are writing down, but what you are manifesting practically, for the eyes of the Lord runneth to and fro all over the earth.
28. 9For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him. You have done foolishly in this; therefore, from now on you shall have wars. [2 Chronicles 16:9 AMP]
29. He is seeing you even in your parlour this morning. He is seeing you in your bed. He is seeing you wherever you go.
30. I showed you Scriptures last night, for there is no place where you find yourself that the eyes of the Lord will not search you out.
31. There is nothing you are doing that the Lord will not catch you there. So you can play your hypocrisy to deceive yourself, but not to deceive God.
32. Can a human being deceive the Almighty God Who has absolute knowledge of everything? He knows about your craftiness. He knows about your subtlety.
33. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. [Hebrews 4:13 NIV]
34. 13And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do. [Hebrews 4:13 AMP]
35. 13He knows about everyone everywhere. Everything about us is bare and wide open to the all-seeing eyes of our living God; nothing can be hidden from Him to Whom we must explain all that we have done. [Hebrews 4:13 LB]
36. I know many will fall back on their cushions in their parlours and in their writing rooms and say, “Okay, my time has arrived. I could not preach in the pulpit. I now want to tell THE SON OF MAN that I know the Message. Now is my time. I will join hands with THE SON OF MAN and place the Message right. Because I can read; I can search the sermon book; I can write; I can quote; I can quote scripture; I can research into ancient manuscripts.”
37. THE SON OF MAN knows all these things. He knows that they must surely manifest. There is no area, for there is no way God can operate where the devil will not come there to spoil things. I am telling you the truth.
38. 6Now there was a day when the sons (the angels) of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (the adversary and accuser) also came among them. [Job 1:6 AMP]
39. The devil must surely manoeuver his ways in. I know that unrepentant hearts have crept in at this period we are in, “After all, Daddy said; SON OF MAN said, write and forward. So, who am I? My voice must be heard.”
40. Then I have been seeing names, hearing voices that have been silent over the years who have been manifesting evil. They will settle down to write convincingly and theoretically to THE SON OF MAN.
41. They do not know they are writing to the Urim Thummin, where everything is placed and the Almighty is allowed to reflect the light, if it contains the truth.
42. Whatever you have put down, if the light does not flash on it, it is because the writer is wrong; the writer is having evil heart.
43. You can have evil heart and make a good presentation in writing. Am I making sense? Then the aim is to please the listeners that the Message will be credited to your name, so so and so.
44. So all will like to document something now that will be credited to them, so that their names will be heard in the Bride and in the website. Far be it from The Son of Man to commit such iniquity.
45. That is why I am not stepping out anymore. I take My time and scrutinize everything. I can scrutinize one hundred different Messages in one day, for I know how to spread them.
46. I know the invocation I will do and I will pinpoint those that are right, written with true hearts and written out of experience.
47. DO NOT SHOW ME YOUR SMART WRITE-UPS. I KNOW MORE THAN THAT. SHOWCASE YOUR CHARACTER.
48. I have seen even there, in some I received last week, write ups coming from people that have left the Faith in the heart. The backslidden in the heart, writing to THE SON OF MAN.
49. I got one from Abuja from one evangelist Friday whom I have already discarded. And he wrote. I used him as an example. I got one from one Wisdom, the son of Pastor James of Esen, whose report is stinking at Esen. I used these two.
50. One day I will not be surprised that the son of Teacher Emmanuel will equally write. It is writing time; and forwarding to THE SON OF MAN. God forbid! I say, God forbid!
51. We have come to a point where this Faith can no longer be polluted. You cannot pollute it again, for everything is coming under the scrutiny of the eyes of THE SON OF MAN, Who uses four eyes to scrutinize everything.
52. He uses four eyes to scrutinize everything. If the first two does not catch you, the second two must catch you. So there is no way of escape.
53. The four eyes are the representation of the four corners of the earth. So there is no way you can escape the prying eyes of the Almighty God, who pries into every aspect of our human lives.
54. I am not warning. I know that by this statement, when they will hear this Message, many will now shrink. I will like you to shrink, think, have a full inventory of your life, compare your life to the message and find out whether your character is agreeing with the Faith or you are troublesome; you are on the opposing side, only to settle down to document.
55. If I accept it anyhow, one day Judas will write to Me. If I accept it anyhow, one day, even Jezebel will write; Cain will write; Lucifer will write, because Lucifer knows the truth;
56. “Since what you want is the truth, but not manifestation of the truth, let me settle down and show them truth which I do not believe. I will show them truth which I am not a part of.”
57. So, for that reason, let no man be ignorant. I am on the alert. I am on the alert. Are you hearing Me? I am on the alert twenty-four hours, spiritually and physically.
58. There is no trick you will play which THE SON OF MAN will not catch you. By the time you conclude, you will see Me standing before you face to face, I would not ask you any question.
59. I know how to catch anybody. I know how to stumble anybody. I know how to encourage anybody.
60. ALL YOU KNOW ARE NOTHING BEFORE ME. YOU SHOULD STRIVE FOR THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT KNOW. STRIVE TO KNOW THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT KNOW. FORGET ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW. WHAT YOU KNOW IS A COMMON EXPERIENCE, GO FOR AN UNCOMMON EXPERIENCE.
61. IF YOU STOP AT A COMMON EXPERIENCE, YOU ARE ONE DOING SOMETHING AND CONTINUING AS USUAL. YOU MUST GO INTO THE UNUSUAL WAY FOR YOU TO BREAK THE JINX. IF YOU ARE DOING THINGS THE USUAL WAY AND YOU ARE MARKING TIME, TRY THE UNUSUAL WAY.
62. If you have been using the right hand and it is not helping you, try the left. It is right hand because you have adjudged it right in your own eyes. Try the left you hate.
63. Try the left you hate and you cannot practice, and see whether you can learn to practice it. It may give you what you want, more than the one you are conversant with. Am I making sense?
64. To God be the glory. Great things He has done. With this few words of exhortation, I now encourage all of us to give ear to what we are going to listen to this early hours of the morning.
65. Otherwise, waking up by 5’oclock this morning when others are still sleeping profits us nothing. It becomes a mere dissipation of our energy and exercise in futility. May it never be so.
66. I pray it will yield the right fruit; produce the right fruit, which is nothing but helping us to grow in the knowledge of Christ, that we may practicalize it in our everyday affair as we wait for the translation of our mortal bodies. Amen.
67. HEAR ME VERY WELL, IF YOU DO NOT ACCUMULATE ENOUGH WORD OF GOD WHICH WILL BUILD THE LATENT STRENGTH AND POWER IN YOU; WHICH WILL BUILD ENOUGH FAITH IN YOU THAT WILL MEET THE STANDARD SET FOR TRANSLATION, YOU WILL NOT BE TRANSLATED.
68. THERE IS A LEVEL OF FAITH THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE IN ALL THAT WILL BE TRANSLATED. IT IS YOUR FAITH THAT WILL TRANSLATE YOU. IT IS YOUR FAITH THAT WILL MAKE YOU WORTHY OF ETERNAL LIFE.
69. WHATEVER WE GET FROM GOD IS DETERMINED BY OUR LEVEL OF OUR FAITH IN GOD; NOT MERELY PAYING LIP SERVICE TO IT, BUT BEING SINCERE TO OURSELVES AND BEING PRACTICAL IN OUR APPROACH AND THEN WATCH GOD APPROVE OF ALL WE ARE DOING.
70. To Him, we give the glory. To Him, we give the Honour, the Worship, the Exaltation, the Adoration and Majesty, for He is worthy of our confidence. He is worthy of our worship. He is worthy of our praise and thanksgiving, now and throughout eternity for Christ sake. Amen.
Brethren, you and I are in danger of being called to question. Our only Link, THE SON OF MAN; our only Chief Designer, THE SON OF MAN; The Only Chief Navigator is asking us to manifest His attributes. ….If the Totality of the Godhead is in our midst in the Bride, it is because the Totality of His Word is among us too.

BE HOLY IN ALL YOUR CONDUCTS AND MANNER OF LIVING
WE ARE SAVED WHEN WE HOLD UNTO THE WORDS WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD. Note the topic.
2. WE ARE SAVED WHEN WE HOLD UNTO THE WORD WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD.
3. Remain blessed Brethren. We thank Almighty who made it possible for us to gather here this day. This is the hour of the manifestation of sons and daughters of God.
4. I will be taking my text from First Peter chapter 1 verse 17. Let me see if I can use this to lay a background. Let us read from chapter 1 verse 1 through 17. Read from verse 1 of where was folded.
5. “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia.” KJV.
6. “Peter, an apostle, a messenger of Jesus Christ writing to the elect, exiles of the dispersion, scattered sold abroad in Pontus Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia.” AMP.
7. “Peter, to God’s elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout Pontus Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia. GNB.
8. “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ to God’s elect, in the world scattered throughout Pontus Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia.” NIV.
9. To all the elect of God scattered all around the world, Nigeria, Asia, Arabia, Russia, etc. where the name of God is called in the days of THE SON OF MAN. Hallelujah! Amen.
10. First Peter 1 verse 1 through 17, Amplified. 1PETER, AN apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ, [writing] to the elect exiles of the dispersion scattered (sowed) abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
11. 2WHO WERE CHOSEN AND FOREKNOWN BY GOD THE FATHER AND CONSECRATED (SANCTIFIED, MADE HOLY) BY THE SPIRIT TO BE OBEDIENT TO JESUS CHRIST (THE MESSIAH) AND TO BE SPRINKLED WITH [HIS] BLOOD:
12. MAY GRACE (SPIRITUAL BLESSING) AND PEACE BE GIVEN YOU IN INCREASING ABUNDANCE [THAT SPIRITUAL PEACE TO BE REALIZED IN AND THROUGH CHRIST, FREEDOM FROM FEARS, AGITATING PASSIONS, AND MORAL CONFLICTS].
13. 3PRAISED (HONOURED, BLESSED) BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST (THE MESSIAH)! BY HIS BOUNDLESS MERCY WE HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN TO AN EVER-LIVING HOPE THROUGH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD,
14. 4[Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
15. 5Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God’s power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.
16. 6[You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations,
17. 7So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed.
18. 8Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not [even] now see Him, you believe in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious (triumphant, heavenly) joy.
19. 9[At the same time] you receive the result (outcome, consummation) of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
20. 10The prophets, who prophesied of the grace (divine blessing) which was intended for you, searched and inquired earnestly about this salvation.
21. 11They sought [to find out] to whom or when this was to come which the Spirit of Christ working within them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow [them].
22. 12It was then disclosed to them that the services they were rendering were not meant for themselves and their period of time, but for you.
23. [It is these very] things which have now already been made known plainly to you by those who preached the good news (the Gospel) to you by the [same] Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Into these things [the very] angels long to look!
24. 13So brace up your minds; be sober (circumspect, morally alert); set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed.
25. 14[LIVE] AS CHILDREN OF OBEDIENCE [TO GOD]; DO NOT CONFORM YOURSELVES TO THE EVIL DESIRES [THAT GOVERNED YOU] IN YOUR FORMER IGNORANCE [WHEN YOU DID NOT KNOW THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE GOSPEL].
26. 15But as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct and manner of living. 16FOR IT IS WRITTEN, YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.
27. BE HOLY IN ALL YOUR CONDUCTS AND MANNER OF LIVING. Take note of it.
28. In every aspect of our human life, we are expected to live sanctified lives as people that have been sanctified, purified and pure in the sight of God by believing Him, by practicing His teaching, for that is the only way we can escape from this world’s moral decay. Is it not true?
29. There is no other escape route from this world’s moral decay if not by the applications of the teachings we are receiving in our personal lives, and allowing the teachings to govern our character and all our behaviour, both at home and outside. Is it not true?
30. Then, if you do not have the fear of God; If you do not have fear of the impending grievous judgment of God which saint Paul saw and lamented how grievous it will be to those who will allow themselves, through stubbornness, recklessness and their lack-lustre attitude towards the Message of Christ to roll into the judgment of God, for God is a consuming fire Who does not look at your face and Who does not consider your relationship with him.
31. 11KNOWING THEREFORE THE TERROR OF THE LORD, WE PERSUADE MEN; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. [2 Corinthians 5:11 KJV]
32. 28Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE. [Hebrews 12:28 – 29 KJV]
33. He judges in fairness and in equity. Fairness means he judges by one standard. The same rod with which God smote and killed one who has somebody is the very rod he will still use in smiting and killing the one who has nobody.
34. God does not behave like the people of the world. God does not behave like the people of the world where the rich is guiltless, for he will clear the way with his money.
35. Even if he is imprisoned, a little while, he will clear the way with his money and he walks away to freedom the same way Orji Uzor Kalu was released and declared innocent.
36. This is someone who had already been jailed for 12 years after being declared guilty at the Supreme Court. He was released and they declared that he is no longer guilty because he decamped to APC (Asylum for all corrupt people).
37. BUT IN GOD, [OH!] GOD DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROVISION FOR ASYLUM FOR ALL WICKED PEOPLE. THERE IS NO ASYLUM FOR PEACE OR FOR ETERNAL LIFE FOR ALL UNBELIEVERS THAT REFUSED TO REPENT UNTIL THE JUDGMENT DAY.
38. GOD IS AN ASYLUM FOR PEACE AND ETERNAL LIFE RIGHT NOW WE ARE ALIVE IF ONLY WE CAN TAKE OUR REFUGE IN HIM, CLING TO HIM, RUN TO HIM, HOLD HIM TIGHTLY AND PLEAD WITH HIM TO SPEAK FOR US, TO INTERCEDE FOR US THAT WE HAVE REALLY ERRED AND WE DESERVE DEATH. HE WILL SHOW MERCY. HE WILL HOW MERCY. THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES TO TAMPER JUSTICE WITH MERCY. AMEN.
39. 1 Peter 1: 17 17AND IF YOU CALL UPON HIM AS [YOUR] FATHER WHO JUDGES EACH ONE IMPARTIALLY ACCORDING TO WHAT HE DOES, [THEN] YOU SHOULD CONDUCT YOURSELVES WITH TRUE REVERENCE THROUGHOUT THE TIME OF YOUR TEMPORARY RESIDENCE [ON THE EARTH, WHETHER LONG OR SHORT]. AMP
40. Listen carefully. It said in verse 2, “Dear friends. You see! We are God’s children chosen by Him for his own use, purpose and God’s own. And God knows those that are His own. And God’s spirit is at work in the heart of all His children, cleansing us and making us please Him alone, and granting us liberty from all fear and alarm.”
41. Verse 3 says that by the mercies that is in God, we are all privileged to be born again and be members of His Family spiritually and not physically. Hallelujah!
42. Now you and I hearing me this morning, now have the hope of eternal life because we have made up our minds to trust in Him, rely on Him. He has given us that assurance that eternal life belongs to us.
43. Verse 14 says that we should obey God, man and woman alike. No discrimination. And that we should not slip back to our old ways of doing things, for our God Who called you and I is holy and has no favouritism when He judges.
44. Verse 17 says that WE SHOULD ACT IN REVERENTIAL FEAR OF GOD FROM NOW TILL THE DAY WE ARE TRANSLATED.
45. Turn with me to the Message GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Preached on 2nd January, 2011; Page 9 from verse 1 to 4.
46. 1Many do not know why they should worship God. Worship is the nature of all God’s children. It is number one attribute of a child of God. To a child of God, in his dream, and anywhere God appears to him, he must bow down.
47. In the day, he must bow down. Before he does anything he must bow down, for he recognizes that there is a Being above him who guides and protects him. Even at a time he falls asleep, He (God) is there watching over him.
48. 2God said that if He the Almighty God does not keep watch over a city, all the watch men are labouring in vain. …
49. Unless The Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. [Psalm 127 vs 1 NIV]
50. … We are sure about it. Moreso, when we are convinced that He that watches over His people does not sleep, nor does He slumber. It gives us joy to know that we are part of Him.
51. 3IF YOU HAVE THAT SUPERNATURAL ATTRIBUTE OF WORSHIP, IT IS A SURE SIGN THAT YOU ARE A PART OF GOD.
52. BUT WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE IT, YOU ARE NOT A PART OF GOD. EVERYTHING ABOUT WORSHIPING GOD WILL BE A DISTURBANCE TO YOU.
53. SOMETIMES, IT WILL BE DISTURBANCE YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO BEAR. YOU WILL BE HAVING MANY OTHER THINGS TO DO OTHER THAN WORSHIPPING GOD.
54. HOWEVER, TO EVERY TRUE SEED OF GOD, THE MOMENT HE REMEMBERS WORSHIP ESPECIALLY A DAY THAT HAS BEEN COLLECTIVELY SET ASIDE BY GOD’S CHILDREN TO PRESENT THEMSELVES BEFORE GOD, HE OR SHE IS ALWAYS OVERJOYED.
55. 4Look at David. A man after God’s own heart. The joy of the Lord consumed him so much. The love of God consumed the man so much that he was desiring even to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life, and even went as far as saying that even if he could not find any place in God, that he should be allowed to be used as a door mat in the house of the Lord, in the presence of God.”
56. Worship is an attribute of every child of God, in the morning. Night or day, God is worshipped by all his children, no matter where they meet God.
57. Where we just read in verse 3 says that when you have God’s own attribute worship comes to you naturally.
58. GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME PAGE 13 verse 8. 8Let me tell you what I mean. Every Messenger God has used since the world began for the salvation work or any mission at all, God has never elected the person because he was qualified to do this or that. Nobody has ever walked his way into it.
59. Look at verse 8 and see the benefit we are enjoying. It makes us to understand that right from creation, election by God did it for you and I. Therefore, there is no boasting among God’s children. It is God and God alone.
60. GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Page 19 verse 20 through 25. 20Somebody asked Me a question recently. He said, “My friend, why do you answer THE SON OF MAN? Are you Jesus Christ? I said, “Well, I am not Jesus Christ. I am THE SON OF MAN.
61. 21He said, “How can you be THE SON OF MAN and Jesus is also SON OF MAN? Are you equal with Jesus? I said I am higher than Jesus.
62. 22He laughed, I then asked, “THE SON OF MAN that came from the Cloud to put an end to the reign and throne of the fourth kingdom which Daniel saw was that Jesus Christ? If that was Jesus Christ, why are we still dominated? Why is the beast still in control even till this very hour? Then, if Jesus was SON OF MAN, who then was the one that was revealed to John in the island of Patmos when Jesus had come and gone? Could it be that same Jesus?”
63. He shook his head and said, “Sir, nobody can answer your question, let me go.”
64. Amen. I think he is an expert in answering questions. Then God fired back, but there was no answer. He is a lawyer. He is a friend. A good lawyer; a good friend.
65. 24Is it not elementary question? I am saying that we are almost at the end of everything. …
66. WE HAVE COME TO THE END. AS AT THAT TIME, WE WERE ALMOST AT THE END. BUT NOW, WE ARE AT THE END.
67. When this Message was handled [2nd January, 2011], we were nearing the end. But today, are we nearing it? We are neck-deep into it.
68. Hence, you can see yourselves at home. You can see the whole globe wearing one uniform and speaking one language. The news everywhere is COVID-19.
69. Who prophesied about it in the year 2019, and the calamity? Who prophesied it when there was nothing in sight?
70. Who closed the mouth of everybody, for they have spoken too much?” Who made it that they should use something to cover their mouth?
71. The whole world is now wearing mask over their mouths. And another one has come where men are raising their hands towards the sky.
72. Who closed all schools and colleges? Who closed the universities? Who subjected everybody to his house? Who closed borders? Who grounded aeroplanes? Who grounded all ships and seaports, seized all goods at the borders and even stopped common inter-state movements?
73. REMEMBER THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THERE WAS A TOTAL BAN; TOTAL BLOCKADE. DID IT STOP THE SPREAD? IT IS COMING BACK AGAIN FOR THE LAST TIME?
74. Who is causing those who travelled abroad to run back? Who is causing the foreign countries to evacuate them? Can’t you see what is happening? Who do you think is troubling the waters?
75. Did he not say he will trouble the waters? And once the waters are troubled somebody must be saved. Did he not tell you that you must be saved during troublous times?
76. AND HE SAID EXPECT HARDER TIMES AHEAD. HAS THE WORLD GOTTEN ANY BETTER? EVERY DAY, THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE.
While I am here, I am the Light of the world; Whoever follows Me can never grope in darkness. Take Me away, you are living in darkness and you must stumble: I say, you must stumble because I am paving the way for you. Did you get what I said? No matter the way you look at it, across the other way, you cannot hear another voice than the One you are hearing now. All that have been privileged to be taken over to the other side, they never heard any other voice than the Voice of the Bridegroom that is speaking in our midst. Are you getting what I am saying?

GOD CAN NEVER
DISHONOUR HIS WORD
GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Preached on Sunday 2nd January, 2011; Page 20 verse 24 through 25. 24I am saying that we are almost at the end of everything.
2. Rome is fighting for the last time and God is doing His last minute deliverance. What is He doing? God is using His Word to create enmity in the hearts of His children against all forms of Romanism wherever they are found, and against anything that is anti-Christ sign or symptom.
3. ANYTHING THAT IS AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH IS ANTI-CHRIST; ANTI-WORD. CHRIST IS THE REVEALED WORD.
4. WHOEVER THAT IS WALKING OR ACTING CONTRARY TO THE REVEALED WORD IS THE VERY ANTI-CHRIST. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THAT GOD IS HERE IN HUMAN FORM YOU ARE THE CHIEF OF THE ANTI-CHRIST.
5. 1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
6. 3and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. [1 John 4:1 – 3 KJV]
7. 25God is creating strong enmity in your hearts, making you to hate that “human system” [which makes the Word of God of non-effect] with perfect hatred. We are hating it. We are regarding it the same way a woman regards her menstrual cloth. No true seed of God can bow down to any shrine now. No seed of God can ever do that. No seed of God in this faith can carry chaplet or scapular.”
8. 17WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YE SEPARATE, SAITH THE LORD, AND TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING; AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU, 18-and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. [2 Corinthians 6:17 – 18 KJV]
9. 11For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 12SAY YE NOT, A CONFEDERACY, TO ALL THEM TO WHOM THIS PEOPLE SHALL SAY, A CONFEDERACY; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. [Isaiah 8:11 – 12 KJV]
10. You see, when you recognize who God is, you can never pattern after religion, for the enmity has been created in our hearts by God against all falsehood and idolatry.
11. Against ALL falsehood and idolatry. Remember the various forms of idolatry. You may not go to any shrine. You may erect one in your heart which is covetousness, stubbornness and all kinds of evil, bribe; the highest form of idolatry.
12. GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Page 51 verse 1 – 3. 1Oh! No! Blessed be the Name of the LORD. Let Me see what we can do to remain in our sanctified estate. Not even what we can do. Something has already been given unto us. I will not be surprised if we never go back when we gather in the Lord’s presence in the Fellowship. I will continue to wait. I will never be tired.
13. 2Although it tarries and delays, wait for it, for it has an appointed time. That day, that time, that hour, that second, that minute can never be overdue by a second;
14. 3But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! [Habakkuk 2:3 LB]
15. For God has always honoured His Word since the world began and He cannot look away from His Word. …
16. God can never dishonour His Word at all, for that means dishonouring Himself, for God is always in His Word, watches over it, performing His Word.
17. … For God watches over His Word bringing it to pass for heaven and earth can pass away but the Word of God can never pass away.
18. 3He has spoken the Word in righteousness. It can never come back to Him void. The purpose for which the Word was sent forth must surely be accomplished. Though it tarries, wait for it. Do not ever be weary. Do not be weak. Do not be tired.
19. God has never spoken in vain before. Can He speak to us in vain today?
20. God has promised, and He will never fail. His faithfulness is forevermore. We have received the more sure Word of prophecy, and by this immutable fact, God cannot tell lies.
21. We are encouraged to remain in our sanctified estate. Oh! The Word of God makes me feel good, happy and relaxed because God is ever faithful. Hallelujah!
22. Let us go further; GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Page 56 verse 12. 12Do you know the worst thing that can befall a human being? It is to die in unbelief; to die outside the will of God; And you have been with Me. Yet, no repentance.
23. Amen. When you are living your life outside the Will of God, you are obeying your own self will; You are having your way, do you know where death will strike you? THE LIFE YOU ARE LIVING HERE TODAY DETERMINES WHERE YOU WILL END IT. Is it not true?
24. Whatever you are doing today is being recorded in your own book. My own is recorded in My own book. Your reward is coming to you. My reward is coming to Me. So, your unbelief can never change your reward. Am I making sense?
25. You know some people do not know what they are doing. If they know the truth about God, they will never be thinking that they will hide and commit iniquity, and God will not be aware of it or they will not be rewarded by what they committed.
26. The prying eyes of the Lord runneth to and fro. He sees everything. He heareth all we are uttering with our mouths. All we are muttering in our hearts, the murmuring and complaining were not coming out of the mouths.
27. They were doing it in their private tents, in their beds, in their kitchen, in their parlour, in their work places and in their offices. And God was monitoring all. He was monitoring all.
28. Allah is all-knowing according to the Holy Quran and swift in taking record and can by any means and can by no means pardons iniquity.
29. 39But the Unbelievers,- their deeds are like a mirage in sandy deserts, which the man parched with thirst mistakes for water; until when he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing: But he finds Allah (ever) with him, and Allah will pay him his account: and Allah is swift in taking account. [Surah 24:39 Abdullah Yusuf Ali]
30. 12Do you know the worst thing that can befall a human being? It is to die in unbelief, to die outside the will of God and you have been with me. Yet, no repentance.
31. Do you know what iniquity is? If you read the book of Thessalonians, it said the mystery of iniquity is at work in the world already, walking among the children of disobedience.
32. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. [2 Thessalonians 2:7 KJV]
33. WHAT IS THAT MYSTERY OF INIQUITY? A hardening insensitivity beclouding people. They will no longer be sensitive [1] to what God is saying, [2] to their environment and [3] to whatever they are doing. The Lord has deluded their minds because they did not come to God with pure hearts.
34. They never believed God with all their hearts. Hence, after many years, they have stayed in the Fellowship of the saints, listening to the Word of God, they still have the desire to indulge in those sharp practices, ungodly practices and lifestyles that God hates. An open challenge to God.
35. THE SON OF MAN knows all of them. He catches them. And he comforts them by saying, “Relax your mind.” How can God tell you to relax your mind and you go away relaxing when you know what you have done and you know you ought not to have done it and you run into the eyes of the Lord that searcheth to and fro all over the earth.
36. “I have sinned”, is it pardon? Saul said “I have sinned.” Was he pardoned? Aaron said, “I have sinned.” Was it pardon?
37. ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR FAULT WITHOUT REPENTING, CAN IT GRANT YOU PARDON? YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ARE GUILTY, BUT DO NOT CHANGE. YOU CONTINUE IN THAT, CAN GOD LISTEN TO YOU? RATHER HE WILL WAVE YOU ASIDE.
38. He will still be doing good to you o. This is because the one that is condemned to die by hanging or by firing squad; once he is kept in the prison, you will be given the best of treatments.
39. The prison warden who is in charge over him will give him the best of treatment so that he will feel a little comfortable. But they know that life will be snuffed out of him.
40. At a time when he does not know, the executor will arrive. The executor will not be presented to him who is to executed. He will enter the execution room and then sit down comfortably on his chair, present an electric chair in front and then pretend he is coming to interview people.
41. The warden will be ushering in those that will die that hour one after the other. At the exit room, people are there who will take away their corpse.
42. “O my brother. Welcome! Congratulation! shake my hand. O you have been with us in this prison. Government has decided to set you free today, but you must sign a pact that you will never commit this crime again. Sit down let us chat.”
43. Immediately he sits down, the executor will press the button and that is the end. He switches it off again. People will rush in and carry him out. Next person will come.
44. One by one. One by one until all that were documented to be executed that day will finish. Then the executor will relocate to another prison in another state.
45. That is why in Nigeria, who can believe it that Nigeria has only but three executioners that will tour round the whole prisons in Nigeria to execute all the judgment passed on all condemned criminals who are awaiting execution.
46. The moment the state governor signs their execution, they will be waiting for the day the executioner will arrive. And nobody knows the hour and the time.
47. How we ought to learn our lesson. If God notices that you have made up your mind the way you want to live your life, He will tell you to relax your mind and shower you with blessings, with protection and with all the good things you need more than ever to fool you into believing that you are with God or God is with you.
48. He knows that He is stifling your life any moment, for He has set a place where you will never escape. You are coming there.
49. And when you come there, no wife would be there. No husband will be there. No child. It is you and the executioner. He knows where you are heading to. You will be there face to face with Him alone.
50. ONE THAT IS ABOUT TO DIE DOES NOT SEE ANYBODY BUT HIMSELF AND MR DEATH.
51. GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Page 56 verse 12. 12Do you know the worst thing that can befall a human being? It is to die in unbelief; to die outside the will of God; And you have been with Me. Yet, no repentance.
52. What if he never enjoyed the world? You are living in sorrow today before Christ. And at last, you will enter the worst type of agony which can never be switched off.
53. THE SUFFERINGS OF THIS PRESENT TIME ARE NOTHING TO BE COMPARED WITH THE SUFFERINGS THAT ARE AWAITING PEOPLE IN HELLFIRE.”
54. God is saying that the worst thing that can befall a man or woman is to die in unbelief. That is, to die outside the will of God. The person goes straight to hell fire.
55. Eternal life is real Brethren. This God, Apostle Peter Odoemena, blessed be His Holy Name is the One that will usher us into that Paradise.
56. Remember we all know that all authority has been conferred on Him. Hence, knowing that this is true, we are better off when we pay heed to every Word we have received from him by day or by night.
57. For him alone hath the father sealed and sent. The sole signatory. It does not have two.
45The Message has been given a name. This is the crux of the matter: Be very careful about last minute unbelief. That is, be very careful about last minute manifestation of unbelief. … 47Today, when you hear His Word, harden not your heart as in the days of provocation in the wilderness where your fathers harden their hearts against the truth and tempted God. The message has been given a name.

THE WORST MISTAKE IS MADE
AT THE DYING MINUTE
GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Page 63 verse 37. “37Brethren, rejoice in Him exceedingly. Rejoice in Him O heaven, for the Lord our God has defeated the fourth beast. He has snatched the power from him completely. You have completely escaped, if you have been following strictly spiritually up till this very moment.
2. If by now, you have not been justified in the spirit, relax and rest. If you have not been justified in the spirit; If by now, there is something suggesting to you that you may abandon this Faith today or tomorrow, relax and rest.
3. You have already abandoned it. You have been a castaway. You are the sad news that God has cast you away.
4. 38“If it becomes too much, I will leave the faith for you and go my way! …”
5. This is because you feel you are something. You do not know that you are just like a mustard seed; a grain of sand inside the tipper. You are like a grain of sand inside a tipper that is fully loaded with sand.
6. While the tipper is moving, does the driver take note of those that are falling behind? Whenever he gets to his destination, he tips all that is contained in the tipper, and it is full trip.
7. Those that fell off from the tipper while the tipper was moving, were they noticed? Did they cause the driver to stop and begin to carry the sand back to the tipper? That is where they ended.
8. They are marched upon with legs and vehicles tyres will march upon them. They are no longer a part of the building for which cause the sand is purchased.
9. 38“If it becomes too much, I will leave the faith for you and go my way!” If that spirit is in you better leave the Faith before it is too late.
10. They have already left. They are in their homes. God knows why He sent everybody to his or her home. Go back to your family from where you came. You have no regret. Go and eat and drink and prepare for your execution. Get ready for your sentence and make sure they are sentenced very well.
11. God restricted the Voice to THE SON OF MAN, nourishing every family at the same time globally, either for their condemnation or for their justification; so that you will not say that you were never privileged to hear Him. It is a witness against the unbelievers and backsliders.
12. 38“If it becomes too much I will leave the faith for you and go my way!
13. Who is interested? No! Who is interested? Who knows whether you are in or out? Who is interested? Who are you favouring?
14. Hear Me very well. God is infinite in wisdom. Nobody can trouble any family now. Whatever trouble belongs to you and your family. You cannot trouble My Family, and I cannot trouble your family. You are on your own, and I am on My own.
15. Any seed a man soweth, that he must reap. Then in that family, God is watching you as individuals to know who the evil one is in that family. And then He will watch those whose hearts are pure; who are earnestly striving to make the best out of their knowledge of the truth.
16. 38“If it becomes too much I will leave the faith for you and go my way!” If that spirit is in you, better leave the Faith before it is too late. Do you know My joy? The last excommunication is hellfire. It is not excommunication where you go out and come back.
17. It is what? Hellfire.
18. It is not excommunication where you go out and come back.
19. You will go out and will never come back again.
20. …for it is the wrath of God; For the show down is here to show the world who is who.
21. 39You may be thinking that God is frightening us. God is not frightening us. He is telling us the whole truth. …
22. Who are you that God will frighten you? What role are you playing that God will be noticing you? Many are not fulfilling any purpose in this Ministry. They think they are something, when God is not even regarding them.
23. What purpose are such people fulfilling? Men and women alike. How many can stand up and say, “This is my contribution to the Bridal Faith or to the Faith of THE SON OF MAN. This is my contribution. This is what I am doing to foster the spreading of the Gospel. This is the role I am playing.” How many?
24. What is their contribution from where they expect their reward? These people that are good-for-nothing are those that come with these empty empty words. They think they are regarded when they are absolutely nothing.
25. 39 …The true Elect are rejoicing, having been justified in the spirit. They are anchored in Christ. No more. No less. Let the heavens fall.
26. Like a brother said recently, “The war has ended.” Everything is finished because nobody is repenting again
27. Instead of repenting, there is going to be a great falling away from the Faith. Many are leaving every minute of the day because they do not have strong root in the truth. They were hanging. They were floating.
28. That is why their hands have been lowered. Their hands have been lowered. The enemies possessed and occupied them. They have lost all their experiences. They have nothing to showcase but evil. But? Evil.
29. They have become distractions. Their duty now is nothing but to discourage those that are still holding unto the truth. They trouble them exceedingly.
30. Many are troubling their husbands today. Many are troubling their wives. Many are troubling their children because they are now in one place clustered together. Believers and unbelievers in one family. Begin to look at what their Fellowship will look like.
31. Mixed multitude in a family. Begin to see the type of Fellowship they will be enjoying as a mixed multitude. Believers and unbelievers. I mean, in one family.
32. One is believing God, the other one is finding fault with God. One is believing, while the other one is challenging and asking, “How? Are you sure?”
33. 39…The highest thing you can do is to demonstrate against the truth, no more, no less. Talk of repenting, no way for the wicked will continue to do wickedly and the godly will continue to do godly.
34. AND THE HIGHEST THEY CAN DO IS TO DEMONSTRATE AGAINST THE TRUTH. I AM THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE. EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF MY MOUTH IS ACCORDING TO TRUTH. IS IT NOT TRUE? FOR NOW, I KNOW THAT THOU ARE A MAN OF GOD.
35. 40GOD SAID THAT THE WORST MISTAKE IS THE MISTAKE ONE WILL MAKE AT THE DYING MINUTE WHEN THERE WILL BE NO ROOM FOR CORRECTION.
36. Dying minute! Like we have now rolled into. Any mistake you are making now, who will correct it? You are in your family. When you cannot listen to your wife; you cannot listen to your husband and you do not listen to the voice of your children, who then will correct you?
37. How will you see your fault? Even when you receive the audio Message, the moment it comes to that area, you switch it off or fast-forward it because it is attacking your individual life or you walk away if it is being played collectively in the family.
38. You walk away because it has rolled into the area where you might be receiving warning upon warning upon warning.
39. It can be the man; It can be the wife; it can be the children, for that is what makes up a family; the household.
40. Remember on that day, the Bible said, “They will be coming to give excuses, saying, “Open the gate for us. We belong to the same household.”
41. God will ask, “Which household? Certainly, not Mine. Not my own household. Get away from My sight. Go to your own area. Go to hell. That is where you merit.”
42. 25When once the Master of the house gets up and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door [again and again], saying, Lord, open to us! He will answer you, I do not know where [what household–certainly not Mine] you come from.
43. 26Then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets. 27But He will say, I tell you, I do not know where [what household–certainly not Mine] you come from; depart from Me, all you wrongdoers! [Luke 13:25 – 27 AMP]
44. Any household where this wholesome truth is not believed and practiced does not belong to THE SON OF MAN, the Justifier if all. And that household is not a chosen place of worship.
45. All that are worshipping there are worshipping in vain for the Scripture must come to pass; in vain do they worship.
46. 6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. [Mark 7:6 – 7 KJV]
47. They are teaching mere human teachings and human rules instead of the true Word; racking sense, all aimed at having their way.
48. THE EVIL THAT HAVE BEDEVILLED ALL FAMILIES STARTED WITH THE HEADS OF ALL THE FAMILIES. THEY LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR UNBELIEF, NURTURED UNBELIEF HYPOCRITICALLY, PRESENTING THEMSELVES TO BE MINISTERS OF TRUTH WHEN THEIR FAMILIES WERE LIVING WRONG.
49. THEY NURTURED UNBELIEF. UNBELIEF HAS NOW DEVELOPED TAPROOT. UNBELIEF HAS NOW WIELDED STRENGTH. NOW, IT IS BITING ON THEM.
50. IT IS BITING ON THEM, BUT TO DESTROY THE ALTAR OF BAAL HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT, FOR THEY NURTURED IT OVER THE YEARS. THEY NURTURED IT TO LIME LIGHT IN SPITE OF WARNINGS FROM GOD AND NOW THEY ARE REGRETTING.
51. When you introduced your family to a dangerous life style, nurtured them to grow in it, teaching them to ignore the way of life, the approved way of life by God; and now you have seen the awful implications, do you think it will be easy to disarm them? Do you think it will be easy to disarm a people you corrupted?
52. And that is what is happening in many families. When they thought they were rebelling against God, they laid foundation for unbelief in their families and nurtured their wives and children in hypocrisy;
53. Instead of leaving the Faith, they were coming pretending to be one of us and holding one office or the other. Now, time has run against them. Time is no longer on their side. And they can see the end of what they are doing. They are repenting, but can they disarm their families? Never.
Call Me devil. It is your right. Call Me God. It is your right. Whatever you like call Me. It can never add or subtract from the reality of what I am. If I introduce Myself to you and you do not believe, no problem about it. It is not compulsory. It then means you are telling Me that you know Me more than I know Myself. You know there are many ways people advertise their stupidity and ignorance. Glory be to God.

THE WORST MISTAKE IS MADE
AT THE DYING MINUTE [2]
GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Preached on Sunday 2nd January, 2011; Pg. 69 vs. 40. 40God said that the worst mistake is the mistake one will make at the dying minute when there will be no room for correction. I have never seen one that died because of starvation. Rather I have seen people that died because of what they ate.
2. As a result, starvation does not kill but can only make you to develop a big head and a small neck.
3. Instead of hunger to kill somebody, what he ate will kill him. You cannot see a person killed by hunger. What you will rather see is a person that used his mouth to eat what will kill him; to drink what will kill him. Hunger will only cause me to have a big head.
4. Instead of dying, I better stay and be struggling to live. IT IS BETTER TO BE STRUGGLING WITH LIFE THAN BEING A DEAD MAN. Instead of overfeeding and dying, I would rather suffer hunger. Is it a lie?
5. All they are doing now is like overfeeding and dying. You will get what you are looking for, but you will perish with it. Is it not better to go without that thing and then go to heaven, than to get what I am desiring from the world and perish with the world?
6. What is more? Many are blind. Whatever you think you are going to acquire from the world, where are you going to brandish it? Where are you going to brandish it? Who is interested? Where are you going to showcase it?
7. If you are a woman that filled your boxes with all kinds of clothes, where are you going to showcase them?
8. Are you going to showcase them through funerals that have been regulated to maximum of fifty people which you may not be in the number? Or in the wedding that is regulated, that it will not be more than fifty people maintaining social distancing?
9. Let Me tell you something. Do you know that by covering your nose and mouth with mask, people that know you very well can hardly recognize you again? Is it true? Is it true?
10. The same way, nobody recognizes what you are wearing again. So you have wasted your money in buying rags. All you stuffed your boxes with are mere rags.
11. Those things that made us to keep sleepless nights, we must regret them, because the area where they were showcasing them is locked. Can you go to fellowship to showcase your shoes or showcase your blouse or showcase your hairstyle?
12. I see some of them on the streets. Our Sisters! I do not see them wearing gorgeous dresses again. I do not see them with their high heels again. They are all looking like other women on the streets.
13. Remember, in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is the king. There is not even one of them that has something which she can use to measure with the social class in the world. Is there any?
14. But do you know one thing I have noticed? Women they think that belong to the social class are the simplest.
15. I went to Awka road the other day. When I was having interaction with the wife of chief Ibeto, “Omekannaya” of Nnewi, Brethren you can never believe that that is the woman.
16. She is very simple. Very simple! Easily approachable. When we were sitting on the chair and we were talking, Brethren, I shivered.
17. When I went to GRA with Pastor Chizoba, if you see the wife of Barrister Okolo, the Senior Advocate [of Okolo and Okolo Associates]; I mean a former gubernatorial aspirant. You can never believe that that is the first daughter of “Ekene dili Chukwu.” Ngozi. Very simple.
18. You see them when they are coming out, and I was even tempted to ask. I said, “Madam, I know you were using escort.” She said, “Even now, I use it, but often times, I know it is dangerous to use escort. I prefer using keke.”
19. I said, “Madam, is that how you disguise yourself?” She said, “Maybe you do not know me well. This is my way of life because I have noticed that gorgeous dressing exposes us to kidnappers. It exposes us to diverse dangers. So when I enter my keke, I allow others to enter also. So, only somebody who knows me very well will know that I am the wife of Ibe.”
20. I said, “Madam you are very intelligent.” She said, “Go up there. You see my escorts.” And when I got to the other building, they were there. Four mobile police men with the Hilux. But they were using Hilux, while madam came with keke. Did you get the message?
21. Even the husband will use the old model Hilux, but the big jeep will carry four armed police men inside. You will think he is inside that one, while he is the one driving that small one. Any lesson to learn?
22. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is a king. Who has the money to buy weave-on of four hundred thousand naira [₦400,000.00] among us? It is because of the class of people we have in our midst.
23. Some that feel they are elevated, who think they can pride themselves about. Do you pride yourself about for what? You will pride yourself into hell, for which cause, instead of coming to Fellowship to believe God, they come to Fellowship to pride themselves about.
24. It becomes a fashion show; a fashion parade; examining the shoes they are wearing and comparing their own with that of other Sisters. Brothers comparing the ones they are wearing and the children, doing the same comparisons.
25. That has taken the place of knowledge of truth. And God said, “Close down that nonsense! Everybody, to your homes. Everybody, go home!
26. I know there are many that have never tied wrapper in their family worship from the time we had this COVID-19 lockdown.
27. Since family worship started, many have not tied wrapper and put on lace or expensive dress to go to worship in their house. They use casual dresses to go. I am telling you the truth.
28. Many are no longer mindful of their hair. Their hair is scattered. I see them. They only carry wig and put on their head to cover it. Before you know it, it will fall off, and you will see how dirty the hair is.
29. People that are only neat when they come to general Fellowship but when they go home, they are dirty; they are smelling.
30. They come to Fellowship now casually with their causal dresses because they do not have anywhere to showcase their George and Ntorika.
31. They do not have anywhere to showcase even their expensive gowns again, except those that happen to be civil servants or teachers.
32. But yet, there are certain things you cannot put on and go to such places. Is it not true? Let Me just show you something.
33. Who knows the woman we call Aunty Suzzy in that Rock Foundation? Is she not the simplest of all? Who knows the children? Are they not the simplest of all? Do you know the type of car her son Zeribe drives?
34. Have you ever seen that woman priding herself about? If you do not know her, you may not know that she is the owner of the school. With the husband, the same thing. The children, the same thing.
35. I AM SAYING THAT GREAT PEOPLE LOOK SIMPLE. THAT IS WHERE I AM LANDING. GREAT MINDS LOOK VERY SIMPLE. PEOPLE THAT HAVE IMPACTED POSITIVELY IN THE LIFE OF MANY; THEY LOOK SIMPLE.
36. WHO ARE PUFFED UP WITH PRIDE? THE FOOLISH, THE IGNORANT AND THE UNLEARNED. THE FOOLISH, THE IGNORANT AND THE UNLEARNED. YOU CAN BE EDUCATED WITHOUT BEING A LEARNED FELLOW.
37. That is why the lawyers arrogate it to themselves that they are learned fellows. Did you get what I am saying? Being learned means that they know the value of education.
38. You can be educated, but you do not know the value. But they that have the real interpretation of education know the reason for education. They know the value of education. These are the people we call the learned people.
39. So, you can be a PhD holder without being a learned fellow. Is it not true? So academic brilliance can never make you to be morally upright. Amen.
40. GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; page 70 verse 41 to 46. IMMORTALITY IS REAL: 41I believe God. I believe the Scriptures. I believe the Prophets that, A DAY IS COMING WHEN WE SHALL GATHER IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE SAINTS, AND WE WILL NEVER GO HOME AGAIN. I believe God.
41. I believe the Scriptures. I believe the prophets that a day is coming very swiftly when we shall gather in the Fellowship of the Saints, and we will never go home again.
42. Did He say when we shall gather in G.T.C? Is this gathering not the gathering of the saints?
43. 43The Bride will conquer the force of gravity because for the super magnet to pull the pin from the ground, it must be done contrary to the gravitational force, for it easier to come down than to climb up. That is why it has lingered for too long for God’s children to move up, for we have been too heavy. We have been heavily laden with unbelief, stubbornness,
44. A people laden with iniquity.
45. ….We have been heavily laden with unbelief, stubbornness, and God is cleansing and making us lighter. Sin makes a believer very heavy.
46. Unbelief makes a believer very heavy. Sin! Iniquity! Yes! That is why an unbeliever is a burden to himself. And that is why he is always a sad news. God will cast him away.
47. 46The moment He completes His cleansing work, which is almost completed in many Brethren; I said it is almost completed in many Brethren, but they will not go. They are waiting for the rest to be cleansed and together we shall move.
48. Amen! Remember what God said when He moved us away from Wednesday Fellowship in the evening, pushed us to Friday and changed the time to six o’clock.
49. He took into consideration the fate of all our children who were missing Fellowship because of their studies. And on Fridays they normally dismiss on time. God allowed Fellowship to be by 6pm so that they will be co-opted into God’s salvation.
50. When God noticed that, in spite of all His instructions and warnings, they are not repenting; parents are not doing their work the way they are supposed to do, God now closed all schools and colleges, closed all universities and told all the children to go home. Go home!
51. Go home to enable the parents do their work in their children. And God started furnishing them with the materials they will use to do the work.
52. Do you know that as I am talking to you now, fathers and mothers have abandoned that work? They are not doing it, even in their own personal lives. I am telling you that there are many.
53. On Saturday, we confirmed it that they have not listened to any of these Voice Messages. They have them in their handsets. Some do not even have handsets. Some say they do not have android.
54. We now advised that they should be using whatever they have as android. Even the smallest handset God is using it to transmit right now. Yet they have excuses.
55. One that is destitute of truth and destined to destruction must have too many excuses. They have excuses. One that is destitute of truth, destined to destruction must have too many excuses. Did you get the Message?
56. If parents refuse to do their work in their children, or they are not willing to do the work or they are doing it already, but the children are not paying attention, will God be called an unjust God? I am telling you that I received a shocking thing last night.
57. You see why it pays to be closer to God. The closer you are to God, the more revelations you will be getting. I know all of you had your individual experiences when you went to bed.
58. Check your dreams. Check your meditations. Check the way you slept and how you woke up. And notice that you are waking up now earlier than before, even without using alarm.
59. Do you know that I saw three families chained together with their children, hands and feet and all of them were naked and in chains? I saw them. They were weeping horribly. I was passing, and the last of their children called Me, “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!” I halted and said in surprise, “What is happening here?
60. Then I saw about three men and three women who were sitting down gazing at them. Father, mother with the entire children chained hands and feet. There was another family chained hands and feet.
61. But look at the worst. I passed by, and the same people who were keeping watch over them followed Me. I thought they were after Me to chain Me, but they said, “Daddy, please we are beckoning on you. We are not keeping watch over them. This is where we were given a position. Our executors are coming. That is why we are carrying the Bible. We want to make our last minute confession to you before we die.”
62. Three men and three women, but they were not in chains. I said, “Are you not among those that were chained?” They said, “No, they said we should stay here, but we know we are dying. Let us make our confessions.”
63. I said, “I do not want to hear your confession. If you know you were not sentenced to be chained, follow Me.” They followed Me carrying their copies of the bible
64. I climbed a little hill, and they climbed with Me. I pointed them a way. I said, “Follow this way. Look at how narrow it is. You trace your way back.”
65. The women were behind, but the men were in front trekking, and they were moving. I stood on the hill watching them. Finally, I saw them. They emptied themselves into a congregation. I saw the name of the household. There the dream left.
66. I did not sleep again. When I looked at the time, it was exactly 3:45am. I went and eased Myself, came back and went on My knees.
67. I said, “God save us from this hour.” Three families! And I know it is a type of what is taking place now. When you are naked, and you are chained hands and feet with your families, it then means you are in prison custody awaiting execution.
68. But these ones were wearing their dresses. It then means that their cases were not yet concluded. And then the Saviour came their way.
Faith does not consider his condition; he considers the promise of God concerning his condition. God is in our midst, He has come down, I am happy. I know it must happen this way. Glory be to you! Holy father, thank you for confirming Your Word.

GOD IS THE ALL-KNOWING
GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; “46The moment He completes His cleansing work, which is almost concluded in many Brethren; I said it is almost completed in many Brethren, but they will not go.
2. They are waiting for the rest to be cleansed, and together we shall move. The dead are not preventing us. We are the people preventing the dead, for we find it difficult to line up.”
3. Immortality is very real my Brethren… If immortality is not real, God is not real. It is a sure sign that you do not even believe in the Prophets of old. You do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. You do not believe even in yourself that you are an art of God’s creation.
4. You do not even believe what God showcased in our midst creating real faith in us to believe that immortality is real; that there is THE SON OF MAN; that there is the Supreme Deity that dwelleth in Him Who has decided to showcase Himself to be photographed;
5. I mean to create an unshakable faith in the believers, revealing everything about Him including the white Garment, which is what we will look like both man and woman; making you to believe that immortality is real.
6. If you say immorality is not real, you do not believe in God. So, you created yourself. That person is serpent seed.
7. Even the devil believes in immortality. The devil believes in God, but could not abide with him. Is it not true?
8. Remember that the Bible said he sought a way to repent, but there was no way, for God decreed eternal punishment against him; which means, he will not come back.
9. For that reason, he vowed he will not die alone. He went into war to deceive the entire world, so that all of them will be wherever he is.
10. 39(Iblis) said: “O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,- 40“Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace).” 41((Allah)) said: “This (way of My sincere servants) is indeed a way that leads straight to Me.
11. 42“For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee.” 43And verily, Hell is the promised abode for them all! 44To it are seven Gates: for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned. [Surah 15:39 – 44. Abdullah Yusuf Ali]
12. Look at Cain. Cain sought a way to repent, but he was chased out. Judas sought a way. In short, Judas repented, but when he came back returning the money, the master said it is too late.
13. He went and hanged himself. Judas died. Before the Lord Jesus was crucified, he has already committed suicide. Is it not true?
14. THAT IS WHY MANY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE FAITH ABANDONED THEM. THE FAITH HAD ABANDONED MANY BEFORE THEY ABANDONED THE FAITH.
15. They think they are taking us unawares or we do not know what they are doing.
16. They do not know that THE SON OF MAN had already dropped them long long time ago, and he is only showering them with false love which they delight themselves in.
17. WHEN YOU DELIGHT YOURSELF IN LIVING FALSE LIFE, GOD WILL DELIGHT HIMSELF IN SHOWING YOU FALSE LOVE. GOD WILL BE GOING TO THE AREA YOU DELIGHT YOURSELF IN; THAT AREA YOU LOVE SO MUCH.
18. WHENEVER HE COMES TO YOU IN THAT AREA, YOU SMILE; YOU JUMP; YOU PRAISE HIM. GOD WILL GO THERE AND SETTLE YOU THERE. AMEN.
19. BUT TO THE ELECT, IT IS NOT SO. EVERY ELECT KNOWS WHEN GOD IS ABOUT TO DECEIVE HIM. HE WILL SAY, “ENTREAT ME NOT TO GO BACK OR TO DRAW BACK FROM YOU.” IS IT NOT TRUE?
20. Ruth was asked to go back. Did she agree to go back?
21. 16And Ruth said, ENTREAT ME NOT TO LEAVE THEE, OR TO RETURN FROM FOLLOWING AFTER THEE: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 17where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me. [Ruth 1:16 – 17 KJV]
22. 16And Ruth said, URGE ME NOT TO LEAVE YOU OR TO TURN BACK FROM FOLLOWING YOU; for where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God my God. 17Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts me from you. [Ruth 1:16 – 17 AMP]
23. The apostles were commanded to go back. Did they agree to go back?
24. 18[So] they summoned them and imperatively instructed them not to converse in any way or teach at all in or about the name of Jesus. 19But Peter and John replied to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you and obey you rather than God, you must decide (judge). 20But we [ourselves] cannot help telling what we have seen and heard. [Acts 4:18 – 20 AMP]
25. Go and follow your Brethren, they have found the right way, “Please do not! Do not!” YOU CANNOT TRICK AN ELECT INTO DOING ANYTHING CONTRARY TO THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD. Is it not true?
26. Immortality is very real my brethren, God said that a day is coming, even as we are here if it pleases the Lord to take us home, so be it. Let His will be done should be our earnest prayer all the time. Leave our burdens at His feet.
27. Verse 46; the cleansing we can see is almost complete in many brethren. But we cannot go until all that God has purposed to receive this salvation are grafted in. Amen, then the flashing red light. God will place His hands behind His back, open the door, then it is all over. Hallelujah!
28. GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Page 77 verse 56. 56This very moment they are preparing for that immortality to come. They want that immortal body even now; Your mansion, your possession notwithstanding. But the people that are heavy, the more I speak, the more they will remember something that will hinder them. …
29. And these are people that have nothing to showcase here on earth o. I am telling you the truth. People that have something; I mean, people that are well to do are praying that they should depart and abandon them, but those that have absolutely nothing to showcase are the people that are troubling themselves.
30. Recently, somebody said that God does not understand. Sincerely speaking, I took offence against that individual when I heard the report because nobody; I say, nobody can ever belittle my God.
31. God is the wisest Being on earth. There is no apology for that. William Braham said, “If anybody hates your God, hate him or her with perfect hatred.”
32. How can you say that God does not understand? Understand what? God does not understand that you are a heathen; that you are an unbeliever or a hypocrite. That which God cannot understand who then will understand it?
33. “Daddy you will not understand. Daddy, you will not understand what they are talking about. Daddy you will not understand.”
34. If Daddy cannot understand, mummy will now understand. Then mummy, teach Daddy, so that there will be peace. Let the creature teach the Creator, so that there will be peace. Yes!
35. Let he that is seeking eternal life teach the Giver of eternal life, because He does not understand. The all-knowing God does not understand. He does not understand what?
36. You know, they think it is a light statement because God will say, “Okay, okay, I do not understand. Relax your mind.”
37. They do not know that it is the greatest insult; the greatest insult before God; which means that God is out of His senses. He is bereft of knowledge.
38. And then He accepts it because He knows who you are, for it takes a serpent seed to make such a nasty statement without regret, and without knowing the awful implications.
39. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING UPON THE EARTH OR WHAT WE ARE PASSING THROUGH WHICH GOD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND? WHAT IS THAT THING?
40. When Bible says, “He knows all that we have need of. All we have need of that God knows all. Am I making sense?
41. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. [Matthew 6:8 AMP]
42. He is the all-knowing God. Perfect in wisdom and perfect in knowledge. Who does God go to that He may teach Him knowledge. Who teaches God knowledge?
43. 22Shall any teach God knowledge, seeing that He judges those who are on high? [Job 21:22 AMP]
44. I AM SAYING THAT ANYTHING GOD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND DOES NOT EXIST. ANYTHING GOD DOES NOT OBSERVE DOES NOT EXIST.
45. IF IT EXISTS, YOU CREATED THAT ONE IN YOURSELF. IT IS EXISTING IN YOU, AND NOT IN GOD’S CREATION. YOU CREATED IT. IS IT NOT TRUE? AMEN.
46. Unbelief will kill many people at the end, especially those that do not want to change their mind for good. Amen.
47. God is a merciful God. That is why He said, “Harden not your heart today that the Word of life is coming to you, as in the day of provocation. It is the same Word you are hearing now.
48. Our duty as Ministers is not only to believe God to the saving of our souls, but also to help our flock, our families to be saved as well.
49. 16Look well to yourself [to your own personality] and to [your] teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you. [1 Timothy 4:16 AMP]
50. GOD’S PROPHECIES ARE TIED TO TIME; Page 80 verse 63. 63BEHOLD YOUR GOD COMETH is a message I preached many years ago. Brethren, THE SON OF MAN has won the battle of the anti-Christ on the opposite side. If there is any war left, it is the war between you and your family. That is where the fight remains. Amen.
51. Amen. On this note we say good morning to ourselves, for God has already received His praise as the first good morning we offer.
52. First “Good Morning” goes to God when we woke up from our beds and knelt down before His majesty. The first statement we made was, “Good morning My Lord God Almighty.”
53. And from there, you begin to shower praises on Him, thanksgiving and appreciation, that He has permitted you to see the light of another day. Is it not true?
54. And then coming at His feet to listen to His Words that has now added berth to all we are doing. Early in the morning, we have risen to praise and to worship and to listen to His Words.
55. I believe that, by what we have heard this morning, we have been fully equipped to face today’s challenges. And I am sure we are going to be victorious, for we are fully armed to go out now. Whatever we are going to meet today will be like bread in our hands.
56. No matter the obstacle the devil is going to present, we will see it as ordinary bread in our hands. We will kick it with our legs, for the Lord has strengthened and fortified us. Is it not true?
57. The arm of the Lord has made us great. The Word is our sure anchor. Amen. And the joy of our salvation can never die down.
58. So brethren remember the message DO NOT LOWER YOUR HANDS, NO SECOND CHANCE. Remember the Messages.
59. Remember the messages. O CHILD OF GOD, KNOW THY SELF. Take your time and know who you are. You seed of God, take your time and know who you are.
60. With these words of exhortation, I usher you into the day’s activities with a lively hope, believing that in the evening or in the afternoon, when we shall be back.
61. We shall be back with edifying testimonies of how the Lord used us as veritable tools to crush all opposition and rebellions, and possess our possession. To God be the glory.
62. We invite our Brother Chika to lead us in a brief prayer. This is Part 1 of the Message. We will stop at nothing until we have finished it. And we are going to finish it, by His grace, if not tonight, by tomorrow morning.
