ONLY IN BELIEVING AND PRACTICING SHALL WE LIVE WITH GOD ETERNALLY IN PARADISE COMPILED ON 18TH AUG 2021 BY BRO WISDOM JAMES GAMBO. AT HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ESEN, KADUNA STATE, NIGERIA. AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA (THE SON OF MAN)
For any transmutation to take place, there must be a reaction. The reaction is the experience. Experience is a great teacher. It sanctifies our consciousness, reforms our persons and fertilizes our souls. It conquers fear, illuminates the mind and confirms our stand. One without an experience is stunted
-SON OF MAN-
FROM THE MESSAGE, THE ESSENCE OF THE GOSPEL. PREACHED ON 5TH APRIL 1997. PAGE 79 VS. 1.
YOUR EXPERIENCES IN CHRIST SUSTAINS YOU.
REMAIN BLESSED BRETHREN. BLESSING, HONOUR, THANKSGIVING, ADORATION AND REVERENCE BELONG TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE ELOHIM AND THE ETERNAL ONE IN OUR MIDST.
2. FOR THIS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY GIVEN UNTO ME TO DISH OUT THESE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO ALL THE TRUE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD WORLD WIDE.
3. WE MUST WORSHIP GOD THE WAY HE WANTS IT AND NOT AS WE WISH. IF NOT WE WILL WORSHIP GOD IN VAIN.
4. ALL TRUE ELECT OF GOD WORLD WIDE WILL NEVER BE TIRED OF WORSHIPPING GOD IN THEIR FAMILIES IN GODS OWN ACCEPTABLE WAY.
5. MOREOVER, ONLY FEW IN THIS FAITH ARE READY AS FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS, THAT WILL BE COMMITTED, OBLIGATED TO THEIR CONTRACT WITH GOD COME WHAT MAY IN THEIR GODLY HOMES APPROVED AND COMMENDED BY GOD.
6. WHY WON’T YOU AND I NOT DESIRING TO BE OF GOD’S COMMENDATION AND CONFIDENCE AS WE SEE THE DAY APPROACHING? LET’S PAUSE AND THINK.
7. Whatever you are hearing, whatever you are seeing, whatever you are passing through, God had already told us about all those things ahead of time, so we are not shaking one bit.
8. Even if it remains one person in this Faith, God must be worshipped as a Human Being. It is because we have preached it, believed it, that is why we are being troubled, buffeted about. That is why we are being treated as criminals.
9. Thus, for our experiences to compare favourably like this, we know that we are on the right track. By this, we know that we are on the right track. We are not shaking. Let heaven fall.
10. As many of us who made everlasting Covenant with Him, and are sure and certain that we are not deceived, this is His ordained way from the beginning of the world. THE SON OF MAN. FROM THE MESSAGE TITLED “NO DECEPTION IS OF THE TRUTH” VOL.2 page 54.
11. Setting the Words of God aside in our daily lives has been normalized in all the ungodly and unbelieving families in this bridal Faith.
12. But to the God fearing families, the Word of God remain their only guide. They are all mindful of the course of Christ and this most Holy Faith, aiming at presenting themselves and their families blamelessly before The Almighty God in our midst Apostle Peter Odoemena The Son of Man as we see the Day approaching.
13. We have no apparatus, materials, equipment and ingredients that are relevant to keep ourselves void of unbelief, devoid of error, void of last minute sin, void of blame and void of falling away from the FAITH greater than the Gospel Truth preached by the Lord, Apostle Peter Odoemena Blessed be His most Holy name.
14. Himself, the Teachings, the guidance, the doctrines and the Word of God that is ever active and vital to every predestined true Elect of God MUST BE CHERISHED MORE THAN OUR NECESSARY FOOD ON DAILY BASIS IF ONLY WE WANT TO AND WE ARE ALSO HOPING TO LIVE WITH HIM ETERNALLY.
15. keeping close contact and having a cordial relationship with God our maker behaviorally and practically, Spiritually and physically would make us candidate of the kingdom of Heaven (Paradise) without any figment of doubt if we do that wholeheartedly with pure and good motive relentlessly without wavering till the end, of a surety our heavenly reward will remain ours constantly.
16. What is sustaining you? What is your experience? Have you any experience at all? The reason why God is still indicting and preaching repentance, trying to correct us is because some are waiting without experience.
17. There is nothing sustaining them, that is why any day they like they can gather in their families for fellowship and for worship or for the word of God to be studied and be listened to in the tape.
18. Any day they do not like, they will not. They are complying and not obeying the Lord’s injunction; by sending all of us to our various homes for family worship, that everyone to his house and tent for the true Elect of God would manifest themselves AND MUST BE FISHED OUT no matter the vicinity they are found.
19. They can travel anytime they want to, they can come back any day they want to because they are free. Everyday belongs to them, every time belongs to them.
20. They can talk anyhow and behave anyhow. They are not under leadership; they are not under a Guide. There is nobody controlling their character because they are free. Why? They have no experience.
21. And they think as we are now Worshipping God at home as families and as individuals, God will no longer be mindful of His word again.
22. If you and I are still acting like that and having such silly thought and decisions in our hearts, the earlier we turn away from it the best for us.
23. Even though you die in the Presence of God, you are not saved. Many like that died in Jerusalem, did that make them the children of God? Even till now, many people are still dying there, buried in Jerusalem, yet buried outside Christ.
24. Do not say you will die in this Church. You can be buried in this Church and you go to hellfire. Instead of you to die in unbelief, die in Christ. The worst thing is to die in the Church, in your sin, for sin is unbelief.
25. Let us go to the message titled “SUSTAINED BY MY EXPERIENCE” PART ONE. This message was preached on the 30TH APRIL, 2002. At THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA, BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN (THE LAMINATED HUMAN BEING). PAGE 33 VERSES 2-20:
26. Nevertheless, I thank God I still have few individuals in this Faith which according to my sermon, I still regard as children of consolation.
27. They are my children who I can confide in, even at a time when I should be discouraged or Satan will try to discourage me by trying to point me to what is happening in those people I still call my Brethren.
28. God will raise these few individuals, men and women alike. They are in the minority, and they are greatly despised. They are not prominent in the church, truly speaking. The way you see them is not the way they are. I thank God for these few people God has just raised. Not only In Onitsha Church but also in other Churches.
29. However, in Onitsha, they are in the minority. God is using them to comfort Me, to console Me. Thus, if I say children of consolation, I think they are in the number.
30. The roles they are playing, they may not value those roles. The roles maybe minor to them; very insignificant, but in the sight of God it is highly esteemed.
31. Nevertheless, there are some big people in this Church with big names; very popular among us that are not pleasing Me rather they are breaking my heart every day. They are making my heart to be cold.
32. I want to use the Bible to refresh our memories. I want to speak on a very short encouraging message. If it is encouraging, it is encouraging to the seeds of God because whatever God says can only encourage a seed of God. However, anybody who is not a seed of God cannot be encouraged.
33. If I say this, do not strangle Me to death. If it does not happen in you, and is not happening in you; do not root it out. No statement goes out from my mouth in vain. If it can, let it choke you.
34. William Branham said, “Let not these things choke you seeing things that are happening among the brethren.”
35. Do you not know that among you in this Church are people that have become so wicked that they identify with the heathens outside to the point of following them even to the shrines,
36. attending secret meetings with them to the point that they have been lured out, even out of themselves; out of their senses so much that they have now succumbed even to the hopeless agreement to use their life to make money. They are in this ministry.
37. What is holding them back; they do not know what to do now. They are in a fix. Partly, they are in fear lest the thing will fail them. Partly they are in fear of the danger of the wrath of God.
38. In addition, they have come to a point where they do not know what to do next. If they should withdraw, their friends will say they have deceived them; and called traitors. They may even kill them.
39. Moreover, for fear of being killed, they do not know what to do and they are sitting down in the Church preaching this message, carrying the Bible, saying God “bless you; remain blessed.”
40. There are some also who have been drawn away to that extent, their problem is, they have not seen people that will drag them to that place, that will lead them there to make this money, build white house, surprise everybody by all means. The desire is fully in them now and they are in this Church.
41. They know their association in the Church, they know where they meet, they know where they discuss. Coming to this Faith, I call them mockers of the Faith.
42. They think they are mocking this Faith but they do not know that they are mocking themselves because God will laugh at them at the end. Because I know fully well that if they succeed in their plans, let them know that I am not of God.
43. They will die; their plans will die with them too. They will die miserable death; even their corpses may not even be buried. Moreover, they will leave nothing behind.
44. That money, they will not get it. Popularity, they will not get it. Their corpses will not be buried. As long as they have tasted this Faith, whatever money they have spent there is going to be vanity. To collect the money no way. To start up afresh, no way. They will hate their lives.
45. If it does not fulfill, know that I am not of God. I am saying this not to draw you back, but to encourage you that that which you have purposed to do, do it quickly.
46. If you bend down, it is not the solution. If you run away from this Faith so that you can execute it, it is not the solution. You are not running away because already you are running with pains. You cannot do those things and succeed, If you never tasted this Faith.
47. However, because you have come into this Faith, covenanted yourself with the blood of Christ; you cannot go out to hold Him to open ridicule and get away with it.
48. I want to assure you of one thing, iniquity must slay the wicked. That thing you want to do, you hardened your heart and do it; that thing will destroy you.
49. You know one thing that baffles Me, people that go all out to make money, ask them why they want to make this money, they do not have any good reason. The only thing the know they want to make the money and be like the world, if they perish; no problem.
50. Nevertheless, as long as you have tasted this Faith, you must perish without making the money. God cannot permit you to do it because He will wrestle with you very well.
51. In addition, before you will die, God will bring you to a point where you will make an open confession. You will be going about the streets confessing it.
52. Brethren can we see how the word of God is coming to pass at the end now which was preached since 2002…. That is why god word cannot expire but remain ever effective from generation to generation.
53. THE SAME MESSAGE, PAGE 12 VERSES 3-7. Even to the students among us, the time they spent coming to fellowship has never been a waste.
54. The Lord has been rewarding them. If I should use my children for instance, the time we disturb their studies has not affected their performance for one day, rather it has been helping them. Thus, I do not regret the time we spent coming to His Presence.
55. To the businessmen and women among us, if you think the time you are coming to fellowship is the time you should have become millionaire; you are a liar. Other days you have been staying from morning till night, what hindered you from becoming a millionaire?
56. If you could not become a millionaire within the four days you stayed from morning till night; the few hours you just leave your shop for fellowship, cannot make you a millionaire.
57. Rather I believe God so much that if you stay in your business during fellowship hour, you will lose the much you gathered before.
58. If you are producing something and you feel that time is needed so much instead of fellowship, I bet you; you are going to produce damages during that period.
59. All you will produce that time will be purely damages because your mind is never at rest, you are not concentrating on the job. Surely, you are going to produce rubbish. When you attend fellowship, your heart will be at rest. I am of the opinion that God will grant you the favour of your customers, they will understand you.
60. If your customer are hostile to you, It is because you are not Faithful to God, you will tell them your fellowship days and they will respect you. Nevertheless, if you are unfaithful, everyday belongs to you. Thus, any day you go out you have committed a crime.
61. THE SAME MESSAGE PAGE 48 VERSES 7-12. We are blessed already. We will be blessed the more if we pay heed to His Word.
62. I want to exhort this Church in the way I am being inspired. Looking at the way people are behaving, some are behaving as if they have no hope again.
63. Some are behaving as if their expectation in Christ has failed them; some are behaving as if God is no longer mindful of His promises.
64. Well, if you think we are wasting our time waiting for His promise; you are deceived. We are not wasting our time. Nobody in this Faith has ever worshipped God one hundred and twenty years. Nobody in this Faith has ever waited for the promise of God for one twenty years.
65. From the time God gave Noah His promise, Noah has to preach the message for about one hundred and twenty years. Preaching means, waiting on the promise.
66. Noah waited patiently, even after people started ridiculing him, Noah remained steadfast because he was sure and certain of the God that spoke to him.
67. God’s promise stands sure from generation to generation. God has always remained faithful to His promises. The most unfortunate thing we are encountering is that people think that the promises of God are for everybody.
68. The promises of God are for the people of God only. Anybody who is not a child of God is never concerned in the promises of God. And the people of God have never been tired while waiting for His promise.
69. In the days of Noah, let it not surprise you that God has nothing but eight persons from His fold. The lineage of God was drawn from Noah.
70. Anybody that is not from the lineage of Noah was never saved in Noah’s day. Salvation has always been a family affair. Check scriptures.
71. I thank God He has narrowed the family down to the Church. The family of God in the time of Noah was Noah’s family. Is that not true? It is! The family of God in the time of Lot was Lot’s family and yet in Lot’s family there was a stranger.
72. Although Lot married his wife legally, Lot’s wife remained a stranger to the family of God. I hope somebody is taking note?.
73. THE SAME MESSAGE, PAGE 65 VERSES 2-14. I am not talking to you as people that do not know the truth; I am talking to you as people that know the truth because I have taught you.
74. St. Luke was not talking to Theophilus as one that never knew the truth, but he has a purpose.
75. Recognizing the fact that human beings, being what they are, that he may likely be tempted out of the Faith through the errors of the wicked.
76. For the tendency is there that people that are out of the way yet sitting down in the Church might come up one day even to confuse him.
77. For that reason he decided to document the truth, hand the whole thing over to Theophilus as his changed son.
78. I am not writing to you as people that do not know the truth, I am writing to you as people that know the truth and you know that no lie is of the truth. No lie is of the truth.
79. If what is sustaining you in this Faith is not your experience, you are not in this Faith. To as many that are in this Faith, in spite of the hurts and troubles they pass through, there is nothing holding them if not their experiences.
80. If you are in this Faith so that we can help you to hide away yourself from the society and things like that, you are not in this Faith.
81. Thus, if I should call you my brother or my sister or have fellowship with you, I have this fellowship among those that are sustained by their experiences.
82. From time to time, you hear people leaving this faith talking blah, blah, blah. You see pastor trying to admonish or warn them or indict them, It is because these people have no experience.
83. Anybody that has experience, you do not need to talk to him or remind him of fellowship day or to serve the Lord; he is sustained by his experience.
84. However, if he has no experience, he is just a makeup, hypocrite or a Churchgoer. A Churchgoer can preach the message because he is conversant with the message.
85. He hears it, he understands it so he can pass it across. Does that make him a believer? No! He is not a believer. Satan preaches, but he is not a believer. Satan preaches but he is not of God. He cannot live the life of Christ.
86. You must be sustained by your experience. When a preacher is sustained by his experience, no matter the way the wind blows, no matter the trials, it is not for him because there is something that is holding him.
87. There is something he cannot deny, there is something he cannot overlook. Take away the Bible from him, take away the sermon books from him, that thing is in him.
88. It is his personal experience. Something he has seen with his eyes, heard with his ears and experienced with his own life.
89. You know you can hear something without seeing it and yet you do not believe it. It will reflect in your life because if you believe what you heard, you will not act contrary.
90. That somebody is acting contrary to what he has heard, it is a sure sign he did not believe it. If he believed it, he will be behaving as if he was there.
91. Moreover, if you wait until you will be there to see with your eyes, even if you see it, you will not believe. People that believed had already believed before they saw it.
92. Sustained by my experience, no lie is of the truth. If I am telling the truth, you know. If I am telling lies, equally you know.
93. ANYTHING THAT IS HOLDING YOU IN THIS FAITH OTHER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN WITH YOUR EYES, HEARD WITH YOUR EARS, PASSED THROUGH AND YOU KNOW IT IS TRUTH AND IT IS GOD; IF ANYTHING ELSE IS HOLDING YOU IN THIS MOST HOLY FAITH OTHER THAN THAT THING, YOU ARE NOT WITH US.
94. The prophet said, “Some believe this Faith for they think it is new. And these people, they just hold it as a thing for argument to show that what they are holding is high.
95. They do not go beyond that. Nevertheless, talk of the demands of the Faith, they cannot meet them. They cannot keep pace with this Faith.
96. No matter how they try to manage themselves inside the Faith, they will not succeed.” There is nothing here that can keep them here till the end.
97. Many are in our midst behaving as if they are one of us because of the shame they will pass through if people hear that they have left us.
98. For they do not know what they will say if they leave this Faith. Moreover, they have no other place to go hence they are still in this Church. These people are foolish. They have no experience.
If allah permits you to see this, run to swear allegiance to him [follow him] and never abandon him. If you are successful, never abandon him if you reach him and find the true path. Ah – and he pointed to his chest – how i long to see him. Let nothing hold you back from swearing allegiance to him [from being his follower, from following him] those who hold you back are those who have always sought refuge in corruption. If they speak, they speak evil, and if they are silent, they are impious and perverse.
(Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 252)

LET NOBODY STOP YOU FROM FOLLOWING GOD
SHOULD A MAN STRIVE WITH HIS MAKER? (EXPLAINED) VOL. 2. Preached On Sunday, 9th May, 2019 At Household of Onitsha By Apostle Kelechi Uwakwe MODERATED BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN, THE AGELESS BEING. Page 18 Chapter 1. PRINCIPLES OF RIGHT LIVING (1)
2. BE VERY CAREFUL YOU DO NOT FORGET THE THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN; Page 34 from verse 34 “Now I am showing you all these things before I will speak harder on what I am going to say.
3. Because the moment God gives the people His laws and they refuse to keep it, God will hand them over to reprobate spirit, so that they will go and behave anyhow and defile themselves, men with men, women with women.
4. The moment somebody is handed over to a reprobate spirit, that is the end of the person’s life here on earth and even in the pilgrim race. That is when a man comes to a condition where whatever he does; God will not rebuke him again.
5. If he does good, God will close His eyes, he does evil God will close His eyes. That man is finished because he is now permitted to behave anyhow. In other words, God will now preserve him until the day of his final destruction because eye glass is useless to a blind person.
6. Such a fellow is doomed in this world. The destination of a child whose parents left to have his way is in the grave. A fly without a counselor follows a corpse to the grave.
7. He may be in the Church jumping up and down yet God knows him as a hypocrite. All the sins he has committed so far, God will be storing them in His book, all confessions he hid under his lips, God will just store them in His book, to be revealed on the Judgement day.
8. On that judgement day, all that never knew him as a hypocrite will that day know him as a hypocrite. All that have been seeing him carrying Bible, those things that he did not want people to hear, the whole world will now see it because it will not only be televised, the cassette will be displayed also.
9. The cassette will be playing all that the person spoke with his mouth, because the Lord said that every idle word that proceeded out of our mouth, we must answer for them on the judgement day.
10. Every unguided utterance, unguided talk. That is what it takes to speak idle word. Idle word means speaking unguidedly.
11. That is why the Igbo adage says that when a young person speaks abominably to an elder, he will boast that he has spoken sense into an elder.
12. Unguided statement! Unguided utterance! That is idle word. You must be held accountable. The Bible said, “Even if you said you did not mean it; your soul is still guilty.”
13. “It is not what I wanted to say. It is not from my heart.” God is saying that you are guilty. Why? Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.[Matthew 12:34]
14. … We must answer for it on the judgement Day. That is why in our Message titled PRINCIPLE OF CHRISTIAN LIVING PART 2 and CHRISTIAN CONVERSATION, the LORD warned us and taught us how we should talk as children of God.
15. GOD GAVE US MOUTH TO PRAISE HIM, NOT TO CURSE AND NOT TO UTTER BLASPHEMY OR FILTHY CONVERSATION.
16. THAT IS WHY A CHILD OF GOD HAS HIS OWN WAY OF CONVERSATION. HE DOES NOT CONVERSE LIKE THE WORLD. HE DOES NOT LAUGH LIKE THE WORLD. HE DOES NOT TALK LIKE THE WORLD.
17. It is very important that we make sure we do not strive with our Maker in this our own day. Today is another opportunity that has been given to us to stop striving in our hearts.
18. And before the strife will manifest physically in the flesh, in words or action, it has been raging in the heart. Those things you think are unnecessary, when God will start to explain them, you will see how important they are.
19. PG. 38 VS. 4-5 Thus, you have to follow God, even unto death, even if your Pastor or your prophet says that they are not going, you continue because none of them made the vow for you.
20. You made the vow to follow God. They made their own vow also. If they want to continue with their vows, that is left for them. If they do not want to continue, that will not discourage you.
21. GOD IS LOOKING FOR ONE MAN THAT WILL DO LIKE ELIJAH… That’s truth! … WHO WILL CONTINUE WHEN OTHERS HAVE STOPPED.
22. When Lot’s wife got tired, did that stop Lot? Did it stop Lot’s children? The children clung to their father’s waist and were running the race without looking back, without considering obstacles along the way.
23. When the man gets tired just like it happened to Nabal, Abigail must continue running the race, even using a horse, to the saving of her soul and her family.
24. When a man gets tired of worshipping God, he will never allow the wife to worship God. If it is the woman that gets tired first, she will not allow the husband to continue worshipping God.
25. That is why the prophet said, “If your wife is not going, go! If your husband is not going go! If your children say No, go!” Eternal life is like a casket.
26. Eternal life is like a casket. On person, one casket. No one takes or represents the place of another in either hell fire or in paradise.
27. It is a self-contained apartment. Your husband will not be there with you. Your children will not be there with you. Only you and you alone.
28. When you are facing the wrath of God, you do not expect anybody to come and help you. The day Jezebel died, did the children help their mother? When dogs were devouring her flesh, did anybody run to her rescue?
29. Husband and wife started here on earth and will terminate here on earth. The Lord Jesus Christ made it clear that there is no husband and wife in heaven.
30. For in the resurrection there is no marriage; everyone is as the angels in heaven Matthew 22:30 NIV.
31. One will be taken, the other left. The two may also be taken or rejected. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Matt 24:40-41KJV.
32. Is there anybody who will come face to face with death, and he or she will be pleading to be given an opportunity to call the father or the mother?
33. GOD IS LOOKING FOR ONE MAN THAT WILL DO LIKE ELIJAH, WHO WILL CONTINUE WHEN OTHERS HAVE STOPPED. THAT IS WHAT GOD IS LOOKING FOR, ESPECIALLY AT AN HOUR LIKE THIS,… An hour such as we are now.
34. … WHEN WE SEE DEEP SLEEP COMING UPON MANKIND, even in the Bride of Christ movement.
35. Brethren, is it a lie? Have you seen the dangers of losing heavenly vision? We are at the concluding side of the Ministry. Whether we say amen to it or not, the handwriting is on the wall.
36. CHILDREN OF GOD DO NOT REMEMBER WHAT THEY ARE AGAIN. I cannot imagine a soldier in the warfront seeing enemies around him, bullets going up and down, and he is dozing.
37. He has the bullet, he has the rifle, he has everything at his disposal to wage war and then he is sleeping or could not fire a gun shot.
38. That he has passed sleepless nights for one year in the trench or in the war front, is that an excuse? Sleeping in the war front means risking his life. Enemies will just carry him alive. That is the worst thing that will happen to a child of God. I keep on saying this.
39. AND THE MOMENT HE SLEEPS, HE WILL CAUSE HIS FAMILY TO SLEEP. IF A MAN IS NOT SERIOUS WITH THIS FAITH THE FAMILY CAN NEVER BE SERIOUS WITH THE FAITH. BRETHREN, IS IT NOT TRUE? YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT SIN IS INFECTIOUS. SIN IS INFECTIOUS.
40. Striving with our maker is a very dangerous condition and this striving always comes in a very simple way.
41. The Lord speaks: very easy. It can be unconscious action. It could be a planned action. God gave us a Message, UNGUIDED MOMENT IN A MAN’S LIFE.
42. In that unguided moment in a man’s life, it is what the devil is looking for. That is the moment when a man loses.
43. For God said, “For every good achievement that comes to you, attracts the attention of your enemy.”
44. Do you think it is because of Me that this statement is made? Apostle Kelechi, the whole essence of all that the Ministers and Apostles are labouring to achieve; are they doing it for Me? Are they doing it so that THE SON OF MAN will not go to hell?
45. I AM BORN TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. AND I CAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS IN MY HANDS. THUS IT BEHOOVETH THE SON OF MAN TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.
46. You might be praying that you do not stumble into hell. Do not pray for Me. Hell is not yet formed because I am the One that will form hell based on what I have gathered from the first man God created.
47. And I told you that I have been thinking about the appropriate punishment. I am not yet through because I still have souls designated to salvation whom I am yet to salvage. When I am through, the world will know.
48. Let me read out this quote from the Message DANGER OF LOSING HEAVENLY VISION. There is another Message there in the Part 2 FEAR GOD by THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Supreme Spirit.
THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID THAT MOTHERS HAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING THE FIRST TEACHERS THAT GROOM THE CHARACTER OF THEIR CHILDREN; THAT IT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED ALSO THAT THE SAME PERSON THAT HAS BEEN VESTED WITH THIS RESPONSIBILITY TO BRING THE CHILDREN IN A GODLY WAY, HAS BEEN GUILTY OF SPOILING THE CHILDREN.
-SON OF MAN-
FROM THE MESSAGE FAMILY FORUM PREACHED ON 5TH OCT 2008. PAGE 112 VS. 81.

MONITOR YOUR CHILDREN
FearGod! Bro. Mike, where is FearGod? He went to where? You are losing control of your children they are in the University. It shouldn’t be so.
2. You must monitor them. I said, “BE DILIGENT TO MONITOR THE STATE OF YOUR FLOCK.” All that glitters is not gold. There are too many things that may happen.
3. For fear of being misunderstood, those Elderly people, men and women, who know the truth may not come to you for they do not know the extent you have loved your children, even in error. Lest they will be labeled wicked people or destroyers of your Children’s reputation. I am telling you the truth.
4. Bro Anayo speaks! [Bro Anayo concurs, “This is what we do.”] Period! Sit down!
5. If it is discovered that whenever the evils of your children are reported to you, you get angry and frown your face, it will take a foolish fellow to still come and tell you or to caution your child to desist from such lifestyle.
6. The person will simply conclude by saying, “Who knows whether it is the child’s nature or the way the parents want the child to be.” Did you hear My Voice?
7. But if you really believe the Message of THE SON OF MAN, which says that it is not the sole responsibility of one person to train a child. All godly people are involved.
8. If when I report your child’s misbehavior to you and you retort by asking Me, “Is he or she the only person you know?
9. Were you employed to monitor my child? Don’t you see other children?” I will be a fool to return again to report your child’s misbehavior. That is how the parents harden their children in all forms of evil habits.
10. Even in our midst here, I know many people here, men and women, father’s and mother’s you dare not report the evil their children are committing to them.
11. They will hate you with perfect hatred. They will even tell you in your face, “Have you taken good care of your own children?”
12. Tell me, how can we then be our brothers keeper? Those doing it know they are the ones doing this thing. Did I call anybody’s name? This is the very issue at stake.
13. You are striving against your Maker, for your Maker has given you the rule of life, which you should impose on your children, whether they like it or not.
14. But because you do not obey, you also help your children to disobey, only to turn around tomorrow to blame it on God. A child that is left to have his way must come back with shame and humiliation.
15. At that point when you have made your child to understand that he or she can behave anyhow he or she likes and that nobody should interfere in any way, wait for the package that the child is coming home with.
16. Wait, for whatever you have sown, that is exactly what you must reap.
17. If you have hardened the child’s heart against listening to godly counsel from any other person, by making the Child believe that he or she is hated; and that even if he or she does anything good, nobody will believe, no more!
18. You have killed that child. You have finally killed that child. Relax and wait for the package that child will bring home to you. The child will bring home a package that cannot pass through your gate.
19. The basket that can be used to bring it in does not exist, because you allowed it.
20. An Igbo adage says that whosoever that sees a fowl scattering faeces with its legs should chase that fowl away from the faeces, for you do not know who will eat the legs whenever the chicken will be prepared for food, for one person does not claim ownership of a human being. A human being belongs to all.
21. But is this not for someone that believes in this philosophy of life? There are some other persons who do not believe in it.
22. Are you amazed that an Igbo man can marry an Hausa woman? Are you amazed that an Hausa man can marry a Yoruba woman, or that a Yoruba man can marry a Ghanaian? This is to show you that human beings scattered like seeds of an oil bean tree.
23. You do not know where marriage will land your child. You equally do not know where it will land another person.
24. If it carries this person into your house, is it an abomination. The person will now come to remove the unbearable burden in your house. This is pure truth!
25. Marital relationship can bring in a foolish and unreasonable fellow into your house, man or woman to help remove the liability, not an asset from another person’s family. Be careful!
26. Listen, let Me tell you what I believe. A man was alerted to call his child and instruct the child very well. He then claims that he does not have anything to tell his child. Are you hearing Me?
27. The father now reclines to saying that whatsoever a person sows, that he must reap, is that training?
28. It would have been better that you talked to that child, so that if the child deviates from what you have told him/her and act contrary, it can then apply that whatsoever the person sows, he or she should reap.
I THANK GOD THAT THE BRIDE HAS ALREADY ARRIVED AND SHE IS SITTING WHERE THE LORD SAID THAT SHE MUST SIT. BEING NURTURED WELL- WHILE WAITING FOR THE PROMISE OF THE HOUR.
-SON OF MAN –
FROM THE MESSAGE, AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS, PREACHED ON 24TH DEC. 2000 PAGE 3 VS. 17

BRIDAL MINISTRY IS THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST
SHOULD A MAN STRIVE WITH HIS MAKER? (EXPLAINED) VOLUME. 2. Page 44 vs 2-5 &7-19
2. IF CHRIST BECAME A HUMAN BEING, BEGAT ME, BEGAT YOU, AND THERE IS NO UNBELIEF IN CHRIST, CAN THERE BE ANY UNBELIEF IN HIS CHILDREN?
3. So we must be very careful and monitor our lives, monitor our characters, examine our lives, examine our characters so that we will stand pure in the eyes of He that called us to glory and to honour.
4. Remember last Sunday, we read from one of the Messages that the purpose for which God established this Bridal Ministry in this day of THE SON OF MAN, and gathered all of us into it, is to give us principles of right living.
5. You can never obtain these principles of right living or see it anywhere or in any gathering under heaven, except in the Bride.
6. AFTER THIS MINISTRY, THERE IS NO OTHER MINISTRY THAT IS COMING UP. YOU CANNOT GET ANY OTHER MINISTRY RISING UP HIGHER THAN THIS.
7. THIS ONE (THE BRIDAL MINISTRY) IS COMING TO GATHER THE LOOSE ENDS AND TO CLOSE THE CHAPTER.
8. IF A MINISTRY WILL COME UP AGAIN HIGHER THAN THIS, WHERE WILL IT BE SOURCING THE FOOD? WHAT WILL IT BE USING? IS IT NOT THIS HOLY SCRIPTURE?
9. IF CHRIST WILL COME BACK AGAIN, WILL HE DO MORE THAN THESE? PEOPLE WERE EXPECTING ANOTHER MESSIAH, WHEN THE MESSIAH WAS ALREADY ON THE LAND.
10. TODAY AGAIN, THE BRIDAL MINISTRY IS THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST. IF ANOTHER MINISTRY OF CHRIST WILL COME UP, WHAT WILL IT DO? WHAT WILL IT PREACH?
11. WHAT YOU WILL BE SEEING COMING UP WILL BE CHURCHES, THAT IS, INDIVIDUAL CHURCHES. INDIVIDUAL INDUSTRIES WILL BE COMING UP.
12. PEOPLE WILL BE BREAKING AWAY FROM THEIR CHURCHES, FORMING ONE MOVE OR ANOTHER MOVE. A LITTLE WHILE THEY WILL UNITE ALSO. I CALL THEM UNITED PENTECOSTALS.
13. Has it come to pass? Fear God! Fear God! Brethren we have to put our hands together for God. Yes! For many have already dropped by the wayside.
14. Yet, without them, we are still progressing. Is it not true? We are not only alive, we are still marching on, 1996!
15. That is why I came all out and declared that I will overlook all human inadequacies of late Bishop Ifeanyi Eze.
16. This is because he was in the Faith when the battle was extremely hot; we passed through the Lions den fought together until he married the most wicked woman.
17. Then his problem started, which culminated into his death. ONCE A MAN MARRIES A WICKED WOMAN, ONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE FEAR OF GOD IN HER, SHE SHORTENS THE MAN’S LIFE SPAN.
18. Otherwise, there is no reason why Bishop Ifeanyi should die at the age of 55 while I am still vibrating at 65. A bad wife not only produces bad children; she contributes in the premature death of the husband.
19. I am making it known so that our children will take their time whenever it comes to marriage, so that they do not marry anyhow, lest they die anyhow.
20. THE SAME MESSAGE PAGE 64 VS 4-10 & 13-16. God had been calling from the inception of this ministry. No response! They are paying lip service.
21. He warned and they do not listen. When calamity will befall them, God said he will laugh them to scorn. Instead of obeying God they are mocking God.
22. When troubles surround them, they will begin to kneel down early morning calling God. God said, “I will not pay attention to their prayers.”
23. But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you— when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. Prov. 1:24-27 NIV.
24. You see! God is saying that when He called, nobody cared to pay heed. Nobody cared to answer. When He gives us counsel, Nobody wants to take instruction from God.
25. He said, “For that reason, watch me. I am a jealous God. I am a consuming fire. When calamity comes upon you, you will call Me that day, and I will close my ears.”
26. I will tell you, “Your spare tyre has flattened. Those that use God as spare tyre, your spare tyre contains no air again”. Why?
27. You overlooked it. What are we discussing? SHOULD A MAN STRIVE WITH HIS MAKER EXPLAINED? That is the Message we are considering
28. If you refuse to take God’s counseling anything pertaining to your life, both spiritual and physical, God will laugh you to scorn because you are on your own without God. This is devil’s way of fooling people.
29. FOR A FAMILY TO GET INTO PARADISE, HUSBAND AND WIFE MUST HAVE ONE STAND IN CHRIST; ONE CONVICTION OF THE TRUTH.
30. FOR THE FAMILY TO STUMBLE INTO HELL, HUSBAND AND WIFE MUST JOIN HANDS TOGETHER TO BLASPHEME GOD AND RESIST THE TRUTH.
31. THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES HUSBAND, WIFE AND CHILDREN TO ROLL INTO UNQUENCHABLE FIRE.
32. TAKING COUNSEL TOGETHER TO DO EVIL WILL PUT YOU INTO HELL TOGETHER. SAVE YOUR FAMILY FROM EXTINCTION.
33. In conclusion let’s go to the same message page 71 vs 26-41. Far be it from God to keep company with the wicked. God can never keep company with the wicked. Never! Never!
34. But His delight has always been with the righteous. Those that do His good will, for which cause they are created.
35. Why are we created? Why are we human beings? Only one reason: To do the will of our maker.
36. Do not submit to His will when you are dead. If you do not submit to the will of God when you are alive, writing it on your obituary notice “With total submission to the will of the Almighty God, we announce” is a sheer waste of time because the grave can never change your destiny.
37. The grave will only help you to get to your destiny sooner than you think.
38. WISDOM IS MEANT FOR THOSE THAT ARE WISE, THAT THEY MIGHT BE WISER.
39. WE TEACH WISDOM TO MAKE THE WISE WISER; TO MAKE THE INTELLIGENT MORE INTELLIGENT; AND TO THE UNDERSTANDING MORE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT LIFE AND GODLINESS.
40. DO NOT BE A SAINT WHEN YOU DIE. BE A SAINT NOW THAT YOU ARE TALKING, WALKING ABOUT, FOR IF YOU ARE NOT A SAINT WHEN YOU ARE ALIVE, YOU CAN NEVER BE A SAINT IN THE GRAVE. TRUE OR FALSE?
41. CUT DOWN A CROOKED TREE, IT WILL REMAIN CROOKED ON THE GROUND. On the resurrection morning, remember the Message, THE TWO SIDES OF RESURRECTION.
42. Some will resurrect to Eternal life. Some will resurrect to Eternal damnation, depending on what they have done here.
43. … Drawing near unto God means obeying His word, obeying His statutes and His precepts, walking according to His commandments, [and instructions].
44. That is what it means by drawing near to God. See Antipas in the city where Satan dwelleth.
45. Brethren, remember that how this Faith started is how it is going to end. When it started, the Word of God will go forth discerning the heart of people, revealing their secrets, revealing what they did without anybody knowing.
46. Instead of believing God to be the Revealer of secret, they will be going about thinking somebody must have reported to the preacher.
47. You see why I had to ask Apostle Kelechi this question, knowing that he can never tell lies from that sacred desk.
48. Otherwise, those that are guilty of these offenses might be thinking that there must be someone who had already given him the whole narrative.
49. Even as I am talking, are you sure that they are not hearing another voice from outside, telling them not to pay attention, for a dying dog hardly perceives the smell of faeces.
50. So drawing closer to God means obeying His word as we are sitting down here. I said see Antipas in the city where Satan dwelleth.
51. Nobody knew Antipas was there in the church history, you cannot hear his name. But God knew that Antipas was in the city where Satan dwelleth.
52. And Antipas was so close to God because he was obeying God’s word, to the extent that God said “see my servant Antipas, a martyr who dwelleth in the city where the Devil dwelt”, and he did that which was right in the sight of God.
53. Brethren, on this note I say that our earnest desire should be that; we should be the Antipas of our day no matter where I am and where you are.
54. My language and tribe and city notwithstanding. For God is only interested in His Word being obeyed in a man or woman, young or old.
55. Indeed as we see the Day approaching, IT IS ONLY IN BELIEVING AND PRACTICING SHALL WE LIVE WITH GOD ETERNALLY IN PARADISE.
56. AS THE INJURY TIME IS BECOMING HARDER AND TOUGHER, WE NEED NOT ANY OTHER THING THAN TO CLOSE RANK WITH GOD OUR MAKER.
57. AS WE SEE MASS DEPARTURE FROM THE FAITH OF CHRIST, OH YEE TRUE ELECT OF GOD PANIC NOT.
58. FOR THE LORD OUR GOD IS ABLE TO KEEP US SAFE TILL THAT DAY IF ONLY WE WOULD FULFILL OUR OWN PART OF THE VOW, CONTRACT, AGREEMENT AND COMMITMENT WITH JOY AND PEACE OF MIND RELENTLESSLY AND TIRELESSLY TILL THE END.
59. KNOWING FULLY THAT IF GOD IS FOR US NO ONE CAN BE AGAINST US. MAY THE ENABLING GRACIOUSNESS HAND OF THE LORD CONTINUE TO FAVOUR ALL THE TRUE ELECTS OF GOD WORLD WIDE TILL WE ARE CLOTHE WITH IMMORTALITY IN PARADISE. AMEN.
60. AND MAY HIS PLENTIUOS MERCY CONTINUE TO UPHOLD US ON THE TRUTH AND THE RIGHT PATH. AMEN.
61. May we remain in our sanctified Estate without wavering and Remain blessed In Him ETERNALLY.
