Preached ON FRIDAY, 17TH APRIL, 2O2O @ THE BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA “The Almighty Allah” THE SON OF MAN “The Great Mahdi”
MEANING OF RAMADAN
RAMADAN is a period of [1] SPIRITUAL REFLECTION, [2] SELF-IMPROVEMENT, and [3] HEIGHTENED DEVOTION and [4] WORSHIP. Muslims are expected to put more effort into [5] following the teachings of Islam.
RAMADAN is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims
worldwide as a month of fasting, PRAYER, REFLECTION and COMMUNITY; a commemoration of Muhammad’s first revelation. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org]
RAMADAN means: a time for [1] REFLECTION and [2] INCREASED PRAYER, [3] PATIENCE and [4] GOOD DEEDS; a time [5] TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON ALL ROUND and STAY LIKE THIS AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH LIFE.
In another hadith in Sahih Musli, Abu Huraira narrates that the Prophet (SAW) said: “Doing such good deeds during Ramadan could earn us greater rewards. However, let’s make certain that whenever we perform any good deed or charity, we do not boast about them by telling other people. Good actions are solely for the purpose of pleasing Allah, so whatever we do should be between Allah and us”
Abu Bakir As-Saddiq (RA) related Allah’s Message (SAW) as saying.
1
CHRIST COMES TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE.
1. I promised to talk to all of us tonight. And I introduced the topic in the morning. Let Me see if, at least, we can understand what the hour is all about.
2. The Prophet William Branham said, “Preaching Heavenly truth brings Heaven down upon men.”
3. When you are preaching the Gospel truth, you are pulling down all the powers that control Heaven. At the same time, you are trampling upon all the powers that are controlling the earth. All evil forces and all evil powers are being trampled upon by the preaching of the Gospel.
4. And he said, “Preaching the Word means casting out demons. But the more you pay attention to the Word of God, believing what you are hearing, the more you are dispelling legions of demons from your life. I say, EXPELLING! EXPELLING! You expel them completely from your life.
5. That is why we do not need to begin to wait until we lay hands on somebody to pray that the devil be cast away or receive healing.
6. When the Word goes forth, it goes forth with healings, and it goes forth with deliverance at the same time, if only you can apply Faith. “IF ONLY YOU CAN APPLY FAITH.”
7. FAITH MEANS IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT WHAT YOU ARE HEARING IS THE TRUTH, AND THEN TRUST WHAT YOU ARE HEARING TO DELIVER YOU, TRULY SPEAKING, YOU WILL BE DELIVERED.
8. But when the Word goes forth, you treat it with contempt, or levity or try to push it away, it then means you do not want to come out of the woods.
9. WHEN CHRIST COMES, HE COMES TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE. HE COMES TO SET PRISONERS FREE. THAT IS WHY HE HAS OPENED THE EYES OF THE BLIND. IT IS NOT THAT YOU ARE NOT SEEING HUMAN BEINGS.
10. WHOEVER THAT IS SPIRITUALLY BLIND IS BLIND. ANYBODY THAT CANNOT BEHOLD WHAT GOD IS SAYING IN HIS DAY, IS HE NOT BLIND? THE WORST BLINDNESS IS SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS. IN THE SAME WAY, THE WORST DEATH IS SPRITUAL DEATH.
11. SO THE MOMENT YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY BLIND, IT IS ANOTHER WAY OF TELLING YOU THAT YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY DEAD.
12. WHEN YOU CANNOT PERCEIVE THE THINGS OF GOD; YOU CANNOT DISCERN THE THINGS OF GOD, WHAT THEN IS THE ESSENCE OF COMING TO GOD?
13. GOD IS A SPIRIT [JN 4:24]. THOSE THAT WILL WORSHIP HIM MUST HAVE HIS SPIRIT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD, ECHOING AMEN TO HIS WORD WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU.
14. EVEN WHEN YOU SAY AMEN, YOU ARE SAYING IT BECAUSE OTHERS ARE SAYING AMEN. YOU ARE NOT SAYNG AMEN BECAUSE YOU ARE BELIEVING THE SAVIOUR THROUGH THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HIS WORD IS ALL ABOUT.
15. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND YOU ARE SAYING AMEN, YOU ARE SAYING AMEN AGAINST YOURSELF. AND A SURE SIGN THAT YOU REALLY UNDERSTOOD BEFORE SAYING AMEN MEANS THAT THE WORD WILL START TO TAKE ITS FULL EFFECT IN YOU IMMEDIATELY.
16. THE WORD OF GOD DOES NOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT SECOND. WHEN HE SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT, THERE WAS NO DELAY. HE SHOWED THE LIGHT STRAIGHT AWAY!
17. SO THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ACCEPTED HIS WORD, YOUR ATTITUDE AUTOMATICALLY CHANGES FOR THE BETTER. YOU WILL NOT BE THE SAME AGAIN.
18. We heard it in the Message that nobody receives the Message and remains the same. You must make a move. You must make a move.
19. I have been hammering on one thing which is for us to live right. MAKE ALL WRONGS RIGHT, so that even if we die, we have that hope of being partakers of that first resurrection, not second death. I said first resurrection.
20. Anybody that will partake of the first resurrection, the second death has no power over such a person. And the first resurrection is for those who served God here on earth in spirit and in truth, and while they are waiting for the promised immortality, they died naturally. Definitely, they are still alive in Christ.
21. That is why, when you are living, you live in Christ. To die in Christ is great gain. [Philippians 1:21] I hope I am making sense. Please give Me attention.
22. I will be talking about punishment for the wicked. I will be talking about God rewarding the righteous, with eternal life, with peace and everything good. And the hypocrites? What will be their final destination or where they are heading to?
23. We have been reading the Bible. We have been quoting and quoting and quoting and quoting. I want everybody to give Me attention as I read the Holy Qur’an to buttress all we have been hearing all this while, so that whoever that wants to remain in hypocrisy should continue. You want to remain doubting, remain doubting.
24. If I can place the Words of the Holy Qur’an right, which I believe I will do; I will because I hold the Truth. The truth is also in Me.
25. I have the Spirit of Christ [The Mahdi] that will help Me to acknowledge the truth wherever I come in contact with the Truth. No matter where that Truth is, whenever I come into contact with the Truth, I must identify with the Truth. Truth will identify with Truth. Falsehood will identify with falsehood. Do you believe that?
26. So, if you are living in falsehood, you will always take delight wherever people that are living in falsehood are gathering. So, the gathering of evil men and women will be your delight.
27. But if you take delight in the Truth, God’s children gather around the Truth. Truth will be, I mean, what you will be looking for wherever you go. “Where are they handling the Truth? Where is the Truth being preached?” That is where you will be looking for.
28. Remember, the moment you walk away from the Congregation of Truth, you will land where? You will land into the congregation of the dead, straight away!
29. AND THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE WHERE THERE IS LIFE IF NOT IN THE BRIDAL FAITH. THAT IS THE LAST MOVE GOD IS MAKING UPON THE EARTH. AND OUTSIDE THIS, THERE IS NO OTHER, BECAUSE THIS ONE IS JUDGING THE WHOLE EARTH.
30. And the judgment is already upon the earth. We are not saying that the judgment is coming. There is only but one thing we are expecting. It is the translation of our mortal bodies. That is one. And the punishment of the wicked in hellfire.
31. In the afternoon, we read what God had already spoken concerning the hour we are in. God is not in a haste to punish mankind. God is doing a very big homework.
32. He said there, if I should quote it right, that if He should use fire, to burn off people like that, it will not be painful. For that reason, He [God] said that He must do a very good homework.
33. You know God is a master planner. Because the world has troubled God right from creation. Starting from the Garden of Eden, Satan and his agents troubled God beyond measure.
34. Can you imagine a situation where the devil made God to regret ever creating human beings? The devil was aiming at making God a liar. God, who created human beings in His own image? And with only but one intent that they will worship Him.
35. The devil came and thwarted the whole thing and injected falsehood into man who would have been the semblance of God. Thereby making man to provoke God to wrath, and the devil has continually been injecting falsehood.
36. Was this not the reason God destroyed the first world? Their hearts were filled with doing evil continually. A sure sign that they were not even prepared to repent. They never meant to repent.
37. Even if they said, “I am sorry”, “God, we are sorry”, they did not mean it. So, these are the hypocrites that are still troubling us till today.
38. Now, I want to sound a warning concerning the use of Telephone. I want to read it in this our Message. It is a quote, so that we will begin to see that telephone was already prophesied. It is a part of our salvation plan.
39. God had earlier prophesied about the day the Qaim, the Mahdi, the Elohim will be here in human form.
40. And to enable Him to carry out His assignment to all the ends of the earth, God will help scientists to put in place something [the communication gadget] which He will use to reach the four corners of the earth at the same time. People in distant lands will use it to see Him and to hear Him and interact with Him.
41. Now, that is God’s essence of allowing it to come into existence. Then whatever any other person is using it for, is best known to you, but this is God’s essence for giving human beings the intelligence.
42. The same way he gave them the intelligence to manufacture aeroplanes to bridge the gap. This is because, if you are to traveling by canoe from here to Russia, till eternity, you will not be there.
43. So, He invented the aeroplane to fly like birds in the air, making journeys faster and quicker. You can now link up with people in faraway countries, and still come back to your base.
44. So, for haulage, He knows very well that the capacity of the aeroplane cannot compare to that of a ship, He gave them the intelligence for haulage to enable them carry goods and services from one place to another.
45. Even bicycles, motorcycles, generating sets, God gave human beings the knowledge. There is not even one that is evil. What makes it evil is how you are using it.
46. So, God gave us this one [telephone]. If you have it, please stay connected to your phones. I am talking to people who play with their own. Let Me have it in that Message, THE ISLAMIC CONNECTION: THE CONTROVERSIAL TRUTH
47. THE ISLAMIC CONNECTION TO THE SON OF MAN; Page 116 verse 61. When our Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] appears, Almighty Allah WILL PROVIDE MEANS WHEREBY EVEN PEOPLE LIVING MANY MILES AWAY WILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO, SEE AND HEAR OUR QAIM FROM WHEREVER THEY MAY BE. (Mu’jam Ahadith al-Imam al-Mahdi, Vol. 4 p. 57 and Bihar Vol. 52 p. 336).
48. So, with the help of the internet, we have carried the Message round the globe. With the help of television, we can be seen everywhere. With the help of the telephone, we can communicate. Even with the help of the telephone, we can do video call and we can see one another.
49. So, the invisible God decided that He will make Himself visible in the end, towards the end of the age. And there is no other age than this age we are in. There is no other age than this age we are in.
50. And when it was first introduced in Africa and here in Nigeria in particular, it was very expensive. Poor people could not get it. And God said we should relax our minds, and that as we journeyed along that He would make it possible for every human being to have the capacity to hold one, even beggar. Today, it has come to pass.
51. Lines are being given to people free. So, to get a phone now is very easy. Nobody will have any reasonable excuse to give as to why he or she did not have access to God in this end time.
52. All eyes will see Him, for His appearing will be, “As lightning flashes from one end of the world to another, so shall the coming of THE SON OF MAN be.” [Matthew 24:27]
53. It is not going to be something somebody will stay in America and say [lamenting], “If I had been in Nigeria.” Wherever you are; wherever there is light, night and day, He is there. The Message is there.
54. Even if you want to see His image, He is there. Do you want to discuss with Him mouth to mouth? He is there. So, He can communicate with people in any language they wish. He can communicate with them. I believe God is fulfilling His Word.
55. Now we have it, God had earlier said something. Give Me the Message, GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP. Hear what God said because He knew ahead of time that there must be some people that will abuse the use of their own.
56. GOD’S OWN MARK OF OWNERSHIP; Preached on 27th June, 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha; Page 104 verse 29. Hear what THE SON OF MAN said there concerning phones.
57. 29IF YOU ARE FOND OF SWITCHING OFF YOUR LINE, YOU WILL SWITCH OFF YOUR LIFE ONE DAY WITH YOUR HAND.
58. If you are fond of switching off your phone line for reasons best known to you, one day, with your hand, you will switch off your life.
59. In other words, gradually, our lives are now being tied to the phone. Am I making sense? There is a Message we quoted the other day. God said, “Go home. You are not flying away from here. You will go home and wait for further instructions.”
60. And in that further instruction, He said, “It will come to you either by phone or by oral Messages. Go and wait for it.”
61. Then, assuming He comes to you by phone and your phone is switched off; or He calls and you miss the call. Am I making sense?
62. What if the call says, “Look at where I want you to go”? Or, “Look at where I am. In the next five minutes, I want to see everybody there”, and you did not get it because you switched off your line? You have missed it.
63. What if He calls and for one reason or the other, you delayed and did not take your call? And it becomes a missed call. You have missed it. You have missed it.
64. So, one thing is for God to introduce something that will help us in this Faith. Another is for us to use it according to God’s direction. If you do not use it as instructed by God, you may hold it and still miss the essence of God giving you the phone.
65. If you are fond of switching off your phone, you may switch off your life one day.
66. … [IF] YOU ARE FOND OF IGNORING CALLS, WELL; HE THAT INTRODUCED THE HANDSET IS THE SAME THAT INTRODUCED THE WEB. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
67. 30GOD WAS THE ONE AND HE IS STILL THE ONE THAT GAVE THE HUMAN BEINGS THE INTELLIGENCE TO INVENT ALL THESE THINGS, FOR HIS OWN USE AND PURPOSE. IF YOU ARE FOND OF IGNORING CALLS, ONE DAY YOU WILL IGNORE YOUR LIFE CALL.
68. Let us be very careful. Without the phones we are using now, the dissemination of these Messages at this very crucial period would not be possible again. It is now that we are using the phone for the purpose God said we should use it. If there is any time we are benefitting from the use of our phones, it is now.
69. It is very very essential. But if you are still misusing your phone, it is a sure sign that the Spirit of Christ is not in there yet. This is because when the Spirit of Christ is in a man, the actions of the person reflect Christ.
70. But if you say you have the Spirit of Christ, and your actions and your character do not reflect Christ, it is a sure sign that the Spirit of Christ is not yet in you.
71. William Branham the Prophet made it clear, “When you say you have the Holy Ghost and your life does not reflect Christ”, He said, “You are deceiving yourself. It is not in there yet, for there is no way the Spirit of Christ can be in a man, and the man will behave contrary to the life of Christ.” It is impossible. I say, it is impossible.
72. SO, WHEN YOU ARE POSSESSED WITH THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, ALL YOUR ACTIONS WILL BE OF CHRIST. WHEN YOU ARE POSSESSED WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL, ALL YOUR ACTIONS WILL BE DEVILISH.
73. THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT IS IN A MAN THAT TELLS US WHAT THE MAN IS ALL ABOUT. EVERY HUMAN BEING IS BEING CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT THAT IS IN OPERATION IN HIM. IS IT NOT TRUE? IS IT NOT THE SPIRIT THAT IS IN A MAN THAT CONTROLS HIM?
74. That is why when you see somebody you will conclude that the person is under the control of an evil spirit. It is the person’s mad character that will make people to begin to query that person.
75. THIS IS BECAUSE WHEN YOUR CHARACTER IS NOT REFLECTING CHRIST, IT IS REFLECTING THE DEVIL. THESE ARE THE TWO SPIRITS THAT GOVERN THE UNIVERSE. [1] THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST. [2] THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL. ONE IS OPPOSED TO THE OTHER.
76. THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST WILL LEAD US INTO RIGHT LIVING [RIGHT ACTIONS AND RIGHT DECISIONS]. IS IT NOT TRUE? WHILE THE DEVIL’S SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS LEAD US INTO ERROR, BECAUSE THE DEVIL HAS BEEN IN ERROR FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
77. So, pay attention tonight as we look into the Holy Qur’an.
22Servants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose [with all your heart] because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him. 23Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily [from the soul], as [something done] for the LORD and not for men, 24knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the LORD [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One whom] you are actually serving [is] only the lord Christ [the Messiah]. 25For he who deals wrongfully will then [reap the fruit of his folly and] be punished for his wrong doing and [with God] and no partiality [no matter what a person’s position may be, whether he is the slave or the master]
Colossians 3:22 – 25 AMP

ALLAH MUST SURELY PERFORM HIS PROMISE TO HIS MESSENGERS [1]
1. I will speak randomly today with the RAMADAN VOICE. I say RAMADAN VOICE. Make sure you are reading where I quoted. Surah 9: 70 – 80 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali].
2. 70Hath not the story reached them of those before them? Pay attention! Have you not heard the story of men and women of old? The Bible said that whatever happened in time past happened as example, and were written for a warning unto us [1 Cor. 10:11]. Like we tell people, “REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE”[Lk 17:32], the Holy Qur’an equally warned, “REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE” to us. It happened before now. Now, we are learning a lesson from it.
3. Why is it necessary to refer us to the past? ONCE HISTORY IS FORGOTTEN, THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST MUST RE-OCCUR. IT MUST BE REPEATED.
4. That is why, anybody who does not respect history, will keep on repeating his mistakes. We learn from history. So, if history has no meaning to you, it then means that you are not ready to advance. You will never advance in anything good. Even to correct your error will be very difficult. Very very difficult.
5. Surah 9: 70 – 80 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali]. 70Hath not the story reached them of those before them? – the People of Noah, and ‘Ad, and Thamud; the People of Abraham, the men of Midian, and the cities overthrown.
6. To them came their Apostles with clear signs. It is not Allah Who wrongs them,… It is not Allah that did them wrong. They did themselves wrong by not believing the signs of Allah.
7. It is not Allah Who wrongs them, but they wrong their own souls.
8. 71The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers,…
9. Note it. They observe what? Regular prayers. The believers. Not the unbelievers. And they are protectors, one to another. They are their brothers’ keepers. THE BELIEVERS!
10. …practice regular charity, and obey Allah and His Apostle. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.
11. 72Allah hath promised to Believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein, and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss. Amen. But the greatest bliss is the good pleasure of Allah: THAT IS THE SUPREME FELICITY.
12. 73O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,… The believers have their abode in Paradise as promised by God, a peaceful place, but the abode of the hypocrite is where? Hell. So, if you do not believe that hell exists, get ready.
13. …Their abode is Hell,– an evil refuge indeed.
14. 74They swear by Allah that they said nothing [evil], but indeed they uttered blasphemy, and they did it after accepting Islam;… ISLAM MEANS TOTAL SUBMISSION TO GOD.
15. After accepting the truth, somebody who was espoused to the truth, he said he has believed, a little while, he turns blasphemous.
16. …and they did it after accepting Islam; and they meditated a plot which they were unable to carry out: this revenge of theirs was [their] only return for the bounty with which Allah and His Apostle had enriched them!
17. If they repent, it will be best for them; but if they turn back [to their evil ways], Allah will punish them with a grievous chastisement in this life and in the Hereafter: They shall have none on earth to protect or help them.
18. 75Amongst them are men who made a covenant with Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty, they would give [largely] in charity, and be truly amongst those who are righteous.
19. 76But when He did bestow of His bounty, they became covetous, and turned back [from their covenant], averse [from its fulfillment].
20. 77So He hath put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts,… for their inability to stick to their covenant with God. If God will deliver me, I will do this. If God will do this, I will do that.
21. God will play His own roll, and then, when it comes to the part of man, he will begin to rack sense. Covetousness in him will not allow him to do as he had promised before. So, let us be very careful about it.
22. God now will allow the people to become naked hypocrites so that He will destroy them in the end.
23. 77So He hath put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts, [to last] till the Day, whereon they shall meet Him: because they broke their covenant with Allah, and because they lied [again and again].
24. 78Do they not know that Allah knows their secret [thoughts] and their secret counsels,…
25. All that this person is thinking in his heart and the ones that are manifested, God sees all. The Bible said that everything is open to God Whom we are having dealings with. [Hebrews 4:13] The Holy Qur’an is equally saying the same thing.
26. …and that Allah knoweth well all things unseen?
27. 79Those who slander such of the believers as give themselves freely to [deeds of] charity, as well as such as can find nothing to give except the fruits of their labour,… Amen–
28. …and throw ridicule on them,- Allah will throw back their ridicule on them: Pay them back in their own coin because any seed a man soweth, that he must reap [Galatians 6:7]
29. …and they shall have a grievous chastisement.
30. 80Whether thou ask for their forgiveness, or not, [THEIR SIN IS UNFORGIVABLE]: if thou ask seventy times for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive them: 70 X 70, the Qur’an says, Allah will not forgive them.
31. …because they have rejected Allah and His Apostle: and Allah does not guide those [people] who are perversely rebellious.
32. Surah 9:72 [The Noble Qur’an].72God has promised to the believers -men and women, — Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of ‘Adn (Eden Paradise). But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of God. THAT IS THE SUPREME SUCCESS. That’s all!
33. So, if you are not a part of that Supreme success, you are a part of the supreme condemnation; Supreme shame!
34. Surah 9:70 – 80 [Dr. Ghali’s English Translation] 70Has there not come up to them the tiding of the ones who were even before them, the people of Nûh, (Noah) and Ad, and Thamud, and the people of Ibrahîm, (Abraham) and the companions (i.e., the inhabitants) of Madyan, and the cities of falsehood?
35. Their Messengers came up to them with the clear evidences; so in no way did Allah indeed do them (any) injustice, but they were doing themselves injustice.
36. 71And the men believers and the women believers are patrons one of the other; they command beneficence and forbid maleficence, and keep up the prayer, and bring the Zakat, (i.e., pay the obligatory poor dues) and obey Allah and His Messenger; those (are the people) on whom Allah will soon have mercy; surely Allah is Ever-Mighty, Ever-Wise..
37. 72Allah has promised the men believers and the women believers Gardens from beneath which the Rivers run, eternally (abiding) therein, and goodly dwellings in the Gardens of Adn and greater: all blessed Satisfaction from Allah; that, (is the bargain) THAT IS THE MAGNIFICENT TRIUMPH.
38. 73O you Prophet, strive against the steadfast disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. And their abode is Hell, and miserable is the Destiny!
39. 74They swear by Allah that in no way did they say (anything wrong), and they did indeed already say the word of disbelief, and disbelieved after their (acceptance of Islam); and they designed what they did not attain and in no way did they seek vengeance except that Allah enriched them, and His Messenger, of His Grace; so, in case they repent, it will be more charitable (i.e., better) for them; and in case they turn back Allah will torment them with a painful torment in the present (life) (Literally: the lowly (life), the life of this world) and the Hereafter; and in no way do they have in the earth a constant patron or a ready vindicator.
40. 75And of them are the ones who covenanted with Allah, “If He bring us of His Grace, indeed we will definitely donate (i.e., give alms) and indeed we will definitely be of the righteous.”.
41. 76Yet, as soon as He brought them of His Grace, they were miserly with it and turned back (while) they are veering away (from His Words)..
42. 77So He has made the consequence (to be) hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day they meet Him for that they failed Allah in what they promised Him and for that they were often lying.
43. 78Do they not know that Allah knows their secret and their private conference and that Allah is The Sublime Knower of the things Unseen?
44. 79The ones who defame the ones of the believers who volunteer (their) donations and the ones who find (nothing) except their endeavor, and so scoff at them; (i.e., they scoff at the believers who volunteer their donations, as well as the believers who do not donate) Allah has scoffed at them; and they will have a painful torment..
45. 80Ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them; in case you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, yet Allah will never forgive them; that (is) for that they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger; and Allah does not guide the immoral people.
46. We are coming to something. I will establish many things using the Qur’an.
It is related that our Prophet (saas) said: The Hour will not come until the Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)], my descendant, appears. This will be at a time permitted by Allah. Those who follow him will be saved, while those who hang back will be perished. O servants of Allah! Fear Allah: WHEN HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) APPEARS, ABANDON EVERYTHING AND RUN TO HIM BY ALL POSSIBLE MEANS because he ıs the calıph of Allah and my heir.
(Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, p. 65; Al-Hurr al-Amili, Ithbat al-Hudat, Vol. 6, p. 382)

ALLAH MUST SURELY PERFORM HIS PROMISE TO HIS MESSENGERS [2]
1. Let us go to the Holy Qur’an again. Surah 14, from verse 40 through 52 [The Noble Qur’an].
2. “O my Lord! Make me one who performs As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and (also) from my offspring, our Lord! And accept my invocation.
3. 41“Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and (all) the believers on the Day when the reckoning will be established.”
4. 42Consider not that Allah is unaware of that which the (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) do, but He gives them respite up to a Day when the eyes will stare in horror.
5. Have you heard it? Allah knows all that the evil doers are doing, but He gives them a moment of respite.
6. 43(They will be) hastening forward with necks outstretched, their heads raised up (towards the sky), their gaze returning not towards them and their hearts empty (from thinking because of extreme fear).
7. 44And warn (O Muhammad) mankind of the Day when the torment will come unto them; then the wrong-doers will say: “Our Lord! Respite us for a little while, we will answer Your Call and follow the Messengers!” (It will be said): “Had you not sworn aforetime that you would not leave (the world for the Hereafter).
8. 45“And you dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged themselves, and it was clear to you how We had dealt with them. And We put forth (many) parables for you.”
9. 46Indeed, they planned their plot, and their plot was with God, though their plot was a great (one, still) it would never be able to remove the mountains (real mountains or the Islâmic law) from their places (as it is of no importance)
10. 47SO THINK NOT THAT ALLAH WILL FAIL TO KEEP HIS PROMISE TO HIS MESSENGERS. Do not think that Allah will fail in His promise which he had already made with His Messengers…Certainly, Allah is All-Mighty, — All-Able of Retribution.
11. 48On the Day when the earth will be changed to another earth and so will be the heavens, and they (all creatures) will appear before God, the One, the Irresistible.
12. 49And you will see the Mujrimûn (criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of God Islâmic Monotheism, polytheists, disobedient to God, etc.) that Day bound together in fetters;
13. 50Their garments will be of pitch, and fire will cover their faces.
14. 51That God may requite each person according to what he has earned. Truly, God is Swift at reckoning.
15. 52This (Qur’ân) is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof against them), in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is the only One Ilâh (Allah — God) — (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and that men of understanding may take heed.
16. Surah 14:40 – 52 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali]40O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also [raise such] among my offspring O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer.
17. 41“O our Lord! cover [us] with Thy Forgiveness – me, my parents, and [all] Believers, on the Day that the Reckoning will be established!
18. 42Think not that Allah does not heed the deeds of those who do wrong. He but giveth them respite against a Day when the eyes will fixedly stare in horror,-
19. 43They running forward with necks outstretched, their heads uplifted, their gaze returning not towards them, and their hearts a [gaping] void!
20. 44So warn mankind of the Day when the Wrath will reach them: then will the wrong-doers say: “Our Lord! respite us [if only] for a short term: we will answer Thy call, and follow the messengers!” “What! Were ye not wont to swear aforetime that ye should suffer no decline?
21. 45“And ye dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged their own souls; ye were clearly shown how We dealt with them; and We put forth [many] parables in your behoof!”
22. 46Mighty indeed were the plots which they made, but their plots were [well] within the sight of Allah, even though they were such as to shake the hills!
23. 47NEVER THINK THAT ALLAH WOULD FAIL HIS MESSENGERS IN HIS PROMISE:…
24. Never let it enter into the heart of any human being that the promise God made to His Apostles will not come to fulfillment. God must surely perform it whether you believe it or not.
25. 47NEVER THINK THAT ALLAH WOULD FAIL HIS MESSENGERS IN HIS PROMISE: for Allah is Exalted in power, – the Lord of Retribution.
26. The LORD of what? Retribution! The LORD of what? Retribution!
27. 48One day the earth will be changed to a different earth, and so will be the heavens, and [men] will be marshalled forth, before Allah, the One, the Irresistible;
28. 49And thou wilt see the sinners that day bound together in fetters;-
29. 50Their garments of liquid pitch, and their faces covered with Fire;
30. 51That Allah may requite each soul according to its deserts; and verily Allah is swift in calling to account.
31. 52Here is a Message for mankind: Let them take warning therefrom, and let them know that He is [no other than] One Allah: let men of understanding take heed.
32. Surah 14: 47. [Dr. Ghali’s English translation] 47So do not definitely reckon that Allah will fail in His promise to His Messengers. Surely Allah is ever Mighty, Owner of Vengeance:
33. All Scriptural. He said, “Do not avenge, for vengeance belongeth unto God” saith the LORD God Almighty. [Psalms 94:1, Hebrews 10:30] Where will be a cushion for sinners? Where will they run to for escape? We are considering something as we go along.
34. Surah 14:40 – 52 [Dr. Ghali’s English Translation] 40Lord! Make me one who keeps up the prayer and of my offspring (ones who keep up the prayer), our Lord, and graciously accept my invocation.
35. 41Our Lord, forgive me, and my parents, and the believers upon the Day when the reckoning will come up.”
36. 42And definitely do not reckon that Allah is heedless of what the unjust (ones) are doing; surely He only defers them to a Day (when) be holdings will glaze over.
37. 43Hurrying with their heads protruding, their glances not returning towards them, and their heart-sights (as) air.
38. 44And warn mankind of the Day when the torment will come up to them. Then the ones who did (an) injustice will say, “Our Lord, defer us to a near term, (then) we will answer Your Call and closely follow the Messengers.” (But) did you not swear earlier that in no way will you (face) extinction?
39. 45And you dwelt in the dwellings of the ones who did injustice to themselves, and it became evident to you how We performed with them, and We have struck similitudes for you.
40. 46And they readily schemed their scheming, and their scheming is in the Providence of Allah, and decidedly their scheming was such that thereby mountains should be removed.
41. 47SO DO DEFINITELY NOT RECKON THAT ALLAH WILL FAIL IN HIS PROMISE TO HIS MESSENGERS; surely Allah is Ever-Mighty, Owner of vengeance.
42. 48Upon the Day the earth will be exchanged to other than the earth and the heavens (will be exchanged); and they will go forth to Allah, The One, The Superb Vanquisher.
43. 49And you will see the criminals upon that Day interlinked in the fetters, 50Their apparels of pitch, and their faces enveloped by the Fire.
44. 51That Allah may recompense every self for what it has earned; surely Allah is Swift at the reckoning.
45. 52his is a proclamation for mankind and that they may be warned by it, and that they may know that He is One God, and that all (the ones) endowed with intellects may constantly remember.
46. Surah 15 from verse 10 through 23. [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 10We sent messengers before you amongst the religious sects of old: 11But never came a messenger to them but they mocked him.
47. Each messenger that came, they mocked him. WHEN YOU ARE MOCKING THE MESSENGER, YOU ARE MOCKING GOD. If you are mocking the Message He brought, you are mocking God. Has it not been the guilt of man?
48. Mockers of themselves. Who is the one wronging you? You are the one wronging yourself.
49. 12Even so do we let it creep into the hearts of the sinners – 13That they should not believe in the [Message]; but the ways of the ancients have passed away.
50. 14Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue [all day] ascending therein, 15They would only say: “Our eyes have been intoxicated: No, we have been bewitched by sorcery.”
51. 16It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to [all] beholders;
52. 17And [moreover] We have guarded them from every cursed devil: 18But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright [to see].
53. 19And the earth We have spread out [like a carpet]; set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance.
54. 20And We have provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible.
55. 21And there is not a thing but its [sources and] treasures [inexhaustible] are with Us; but We only send down thereof in due and ascertainable measures.
56. 22And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water [in abundance], though ye are not the guardians of its stores.
57. 23And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: IT IS WE WHO REMAIN INHERITORS [AFTER ALL ELSE PASSES AWAY]. The Believers will remain inheritors when the wicked men must have been terminated from the earth.
58. To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind.
59. Surah 15 from verse 10 through 23. [Dr. Ghali’s English Translation] 10And indeed We sent (Messengers) even before you among the sects of the earliest (people).
60. 11And in no way did a Messenger come up to them except that they used to mock at him. 12Thus We insert it (Disbelief) into the hearts of the criminals.
61. 13They do not believe in it; (The Message) and the enactment (The reward for good and evil) (for) the earliest (people) has already passed away. 14And (even) if We opened upon them a gate of the heaven (and) so they linger on winding up through it,
62. 15They would indeed say, “Surely it is only that our beholdings (i.e., eyesights) are stupefied; no indeed, we are a people bewitched!” 16And indeed We have already made in the heaven constellations, and We have adorned it to the onlookers.
63. 17And We have preserved it from every outcast Shaytan (The all-vicious, i.e., the Devil). 18Excepting him who (gains) hearing by stealth, (and) so an evidently flaming (meteor) follows him up.
64. 19And the earth-We have extended it and cast on it anchorages, (i.e., mountains) and We have caused to grow therein of everything (evenly) weighed.
65. 20And We have made for you (means of) subsistence therein and for the ones you do not even provide for (Literally: for whom you are not providers).
66. 21And decidedly there is not a thing excepting that its treasuries are in Our Providence, and in no way do We send it down except in a known estimate.
67. 22And We send the winds impregnating, (and) so We send down from the heaven water, then We give it to you to drink, and in no way can you even be its treasurers.
68. 23And surely We, Ever We, indeed give life and make to die, and We are the inheritors.
When our Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] appears, Almighty Allah WILL PROVIDE MEANS WHEREBY EVEN PEOPLE LIVING MANY MILES AWAY WILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO, SEE AND HEAR OUR QAIM FROM WHEREVER THEY MAY BE.
(Mu’jam Ahadith al-Imam al-Mahdi, Vol. 4 p. 57 and Bihar Vol. 52 p. 336).

WE MUST GIVE ACCOUNT OF OUR LIVES [1]
1. Surah 15:22 – 24. [The Noble Qur’an] 22Your Ilâh (God) is One Ilâh (Allah, none has the right to be worshipped but He). But for those who believe not in the Hereafter, their hearts deny (the faith in the Oneness of God), and they are proud.
2. 23Certainly, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Truly, He likes not the proud.
3. 24And when it is said to them: “What is it that your Lord has sent down (unto Muhammad)?” They say: “Tales of the men of old!”
4. Surah 15:22 – 24. [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 22Your God (Allah) is one God Allah: as to those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts refuse to know, and they are arrogant.
5. They are what? Arrogant. Their hearts refuse to know. The people who do not believe that there is life after death, you will notice that they are always arrogant. They are always arrogant.
6. This is because he does not believe that God will reward the wicked. He does not know that he must account for all his deeds at the end.
7. There is a lifestyle somebody may live and you will be asking, “Does this person believe that resurrection exists? Does this person believe that the judgment of God is sure?”
8. This is because, if you see the person the way he is walking and the way he is doing everything, it suggests that he has made up his mind, “Whatever I see, I take.”
9. If you have made up your mind and that is your conclusion, God is saying that you are a mocker. You are one that is mocking God.
10. And the Bible said in the Book of Galatians 6:7 that no one mocks God and gets away with it. So, you can never mock God and get away with it. Allah is one. God is one.
11. So, if you are proud and arrogant, it is a sure sign that you do not even believe in the hereafter. You do not believe that there is the resurrection of the dead. Your belief is Man-Die-Go! Yes!
12. And in people that have that type of spirit, evil will never cease in their life till eternity. These are the people that are constantly devising wicked things, but they do not know that they will be held accountable.
13. 23Undoubtedly Allah knows what they conceal, and what they reveal: verily He loves not the arrogant. God does not love the arrogant.
14. 24When it is said to them, “What is it that your Lord has revealed?” they say, “Tales of the ancients!” Fairy tales! People from Enugu state will call it Mike Ejeagha’s musical stories, for they will say that what they are being told is Mike Ejeagha’s musical stories. [Mike Ejeagha is a story-telling musician and entertainer from Enugu state]
15. This is because the Word of God is foolish to anybody that is on his way to hell. To anybody that is on his way to hell, the Word of God is a fairy tale.
16. To such a fellow, the Word of God is Mike Ejeagha’s musical stories, “What sort of nonsense are these people saying? What are they saying? Who will believe this?”
17. Let them bear, on the Day of Judgment, their own burdens in full, and also [something] of the burdens of those without knowledge, whom they misled. Alas, how grievous the burdens they will bear! Amen!
18. Surah 15:22 – 24. [Dr. Ghali’s English Translation]
19. Surah 16:93 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 93If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people: But He leaves straying whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases: BUT YOU SHALL CERTAINLY BE CALLED TO ACCOUNT FOR ALL YOUR ACTIONS.
20. And the Bible said, “Every one of us will stand before the Almighty God to give account of how we have lived our lives. Is it not Scriptural?” [Matthew 12:36, Romans 14:12, 1 Peter 4:5]
21. He said that if you are living your life like one who will not be called to give account, you are deceiving yourself. The person is deceiving himself.
22. So, let us live our lives as people that shall be called upon to give account of how we sojourned here on earth, for we did not carry ourselves here. Somebody called us here, and assigned duties to us.
23. Surah 16:93 – 97 [Noble Qur’an] 93And had God willed, He could have made you (all) one nation, but He sends astray whom He wills and also guides those whom He also wills. BUT YOU SHALL CERTAINLY BE CALLED TO ACCOUNT FOR WHATEVER YOU DO.
24. 94And make not your oaths, a means of deception among yourselves, lest a foot may slip after being firmly planted, and you may have to taste the evil (punishment in this world) of having hindered (men) from the Path of God (i.e. Belief in the Oneness of God and His Messenger, Muhammad), and yours will be a great torment (i.e. the Fire of Hell in the Hereafter).
25. 95And purchase not a small gain at the cost of God’s Covenant. Verily! What is with God is better for you if you did but know.
26. 96Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever with God (of good deeds) will remain. And those who are patient, We will certainly pay them a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do.
27. 97Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islâmic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter).
28. Surah 16:93 – 97 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 93And if Allah has so decided, indeed He would have made you one nation. But He leads into error whomever He decided to, and He guides whomever he decides to. AND INDEED, YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE QUESTIONED ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WERE DOING.
29. When God will question a man, what are you going to say? Shall we say we never learnt lessons from the people of old? Shall we say that God did not give us the Sign? He gave us the Sign. He gave us the Apostles. He gave us the Prophets. And they are here, even till today.
30. I remember the illustration Jesus gave to His disciples when He told them about a rich fool who died, but was languishing in hell. Abraham and Lazarus were enjoying life in Paradise.
31. And the rich man now pleaded that God should permit him or send somebody to go and teach his relations to repent, lest they would die as he died and come to that same torment he was.
32. Jesus replied, “Even if one riseth from the dead and goes to them, they will not repent. For behold, there on earth, I still have My Messengers, Apostles and Prophets who are still alive, who rose up early in the morning, only to warn the people to depart from evil. If your relations who are there refuse to listen to them, definitely they will die and come to where you are.”
33. Since we know that we must account for the way we live our lives, what manner of people ought we to be in all our conversations and in everything we do?
34. If you see somebody who is living his life, bearing in mind that there is a superior personality he will give account to, you will know. Brethren, is it a lie?
35. IF WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A SUPERIOR PERSON GREATER THAN WE ARE, WHOM WE ARE GOING TO ACCOUNT TO FOR ALL WE DID, WOULD WE NOT BE SOBER? WOULD WE NOT BE HUMBLE? WOULD WE NOT BE LOYAL? WOULD WE NOT BE FAITHFUL?
36. This is because on the day of account, when every man shall be rewarded according as his works shall be, my own reward will not be given to you. You will never take another man’s reward. You MUST get your own reward, for Allah takes delight in retribution.
37. 94And do not take your oaths, to practice deception between yourselves, with the result that someone’s foot may slip after it was firmly planted, and you may have to taste the evil [consequences] of having hindered [men] from the Path of Allah,…
38. Have you heard it? If through your bad character, you cause those that have believed to begin to doubt their conviction, or you make people who are around you not to believe the report of Christ, Allah is saying that you must be held responsible for hindering people from embracing the truth because of your poor character.
39. That is why, even in the Bible, God said, “Cursed is the man, who, because of his bad character, hindered people from believing the Truth of the Gospel of Christ.” Is it not Scriptural? [Matthew 18:6, Mark 9:42, Luke 17:1 – 2]
40. “Are these the people who go to the Church? If it is like this, let me go to hell.” We were reading a Message where God outlined all of them, including Shadrach, Christian Dike, John Ekwueme. He mentioned many. Do not worry. On Sunday, we shall go into the Message proper.
41. But watch where the destiny of the wicked is. Hell! I say, Hell.
42. …and you may have to taste the evil [consequences] of having hindered [men] from the Path of Allah, and a Mighty Wrath descend on you.
43. 95Nor sell the covenant of Allah for a miserable price: for with Allah is [a prize] far better for you, if ye only knew.
44. 96What is with you must vanish: what is with Allah will endure. What you have will vanish, but that of God will remain. Which means, that which is deceiving human beings is temporary; things that will vanish away. But anything pertaining to God is eternal.
45. Do not look at the grammar, but understand what the Prophet is saying, for the Prophet did not go to school.
46. AND WE WILL CERTAINLY BESTOW, ON THOSE WHO PATIENTLY PERSEVERE, THEIR REWARD ACCORDING TO THE BEST OF THEIR ACTIONS. What?
47. AND WE WILL CERTAINLY BESTOW, ON THOSE WHO PATIENTLY PERSEVERE, [on to the end] THEIR REWARD ACCORDING TO THE BEST OF THEIR ACTIONS.
48. 97Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.
49. Surah 16:96– 97. [Noble Qur’an] 96Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever with God (of good deeds) will remain. And those who are patient, We will certainly pay them a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do.
50. 97Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islâmic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter).
51. Surah 16:93 – 97. [Dr. Ghali’s English Translation] 93And if Allah had (so) decided, indeed He would have made you one nation; but He leads into error whomever He decides to, and He guides whomever He decides to; and indeed you will definitely be questioned about whatever you were doing.
52. 94And do not take to yourselves your oaths fraudulently among yourselves for that a foot should slide back after firm (steadiness) and you should taste the odious (reward) for that you barred from the way of Allah; and you will have a tremendous torment.
53. 95And do not trade the covenant of Allah for a little price; surely whatever is in the Providence of Allah, that is more charitable (i.e., better) for you, in case you knew.
54. 96Whatever is in your presence is depleted, and whatever is in the Providence of Allah is enduring, and indeed We will definitely recompense the ones who patiently endured their reward, according to the fairest of whatever they were doing.
55. 97Whoever does righteousness, be it male or female, and he is a believer, then indeed We will definitely (give him to) live a goodly life; and indeed We will definitely recompense them their reward, according to the fairest of whatever they were doing.
IN THE END TIMES, THE TRUE OWNERS IN THE BROAD SPHERE OF LIFE, IN OTHER WORDS HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) AND HIS DISCIPLES WILL COME BY ALLAH’S WILL, AND BROADEN THAT SPHERE AND THOSE SEEDS WILL BLOOM AND WE SHALL WATCH FROM OUR TOMBS AND GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH. (Kastamonu Addendum, p. 99)
BELOVED, NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, AND IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE: BUT WE KNOW THAT, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS. 1 John 3:2
HOWBEIT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS COME, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH: FOR HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF; BUT WHATSOEVER HE SHALL HEAR, THAT SHALL HE SPEAK: AND HE WILL SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME. John 16:13

WE MUST GIVE ACCOUNT OF OUR LIVES [2]
1. Let me show you the Book of life. Surah 18:46 – 49. [The Noble Qur’an] 46Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world. But the good righteous deeds that last, are better with your Lord for rewards and better in respect of hope.
2. 47And (remember) the Day We shall cause the mountains to pass away (like clouds of dust), and you will see the earth as a levelled plain, and we shall gather them all together so as to leave not one of them behind. 48And they will be set before your Lord in (lines as) rows, (and Allah will say): “Now indeed, you have come to Us as We created you the first time. Nay, but you thought that We had appointed no meeting for you (with Us).”
3. 49And the Book (one’s Record) will be placed (in the right hand for a believer… What?
4. Surah 18:49 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 49And the Book [of Deeds] will be placed [before you];…
5. Every man will have his own records placed before him. The book of deeds. The book of My own deeds. The book of your own deeds. This is because we must give account of how we have lived this life before God. It is a MUST, whether we like it or not.
6. The book of all My deeds and the book of your deeds will be placed before you. And then, nobody can tell lies on that day. Who recorded all those things? Allah! Why? He is swift in taking records.
7. Anybody can make a mistake in taking records, but not the Almighty God. He takes record of everything. And they are documented so that when this life is over here, you are facing the judgment. The books of all your deeds will be paced before you.
8. Surah 18:46 – 49 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 46Wealth and sons are allurements of the life of this world: But the things that endure, good deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best as [the foundation for] hopes.
9. 47One Day We shall remove the mountains, and thou wilt see the earth as a level stretch, and We shall gather them, all together, nor shall We leave out any one of them.
10. 48And they will be marshalled before thy Lord in ranks, [with the announcement], “Now have ye come to Us [bare] as We created you first: aye, ye thought We shall not fulfil the appointment made to you to meet [Us]!”:
11. 49And the Book [of Deeds] will be placed [before you]; and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is [recorded] therein; they will say, “Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great, but takes account thereof!” They will find all that they did, placed before them: And not one will thy Lord treat with injustice.
12. Surah 18:49 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 49And the Book [of Deeds] will be placed [before you]; and you will see the sinful [the unrighteous] in great terror because of what is [recorded] therein; they will say, “Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great,…
13. So, you that know the iniquity that is small and the one that is a big sin, it is a lie. There is no small iniquity. He leaves nothing. Every activity of man is being recorded by the Almighty Allah.
14. If we have this consciousness, nobody will tell us to be behaving right, so that on that day, we shall stand boldly before the LORD with a clear conscience. Nobody will be afraid that when his own book of record will be opened, that he will be found guilty.
15. That is why He [Allah] has given us this time to make our wrongs right.
16. …they will say, “Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great, but takes account thereof!” They will find all that they did, placed before them: AND NOT ONE WILL THY LORD TREAT WITH INJUSTICE.
17. No partiality because we are having dealings with the Almighty who does not show respect for anybody because of who you are.
18. HE ONLY RESPECTS ONE THING: YOUR OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH. THAT IS WHAT COUNTS. MY OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH. NO MORE. NO LESS. He does not take, “My mother. My father.” He does not respect that. Amen
19. Surah 18:49 [The Noble Qur’an] 49And the Book (one’s Record) will be placed (in the right hand for a believer (one’s Record) will be placed (in the right hand for a believer in the Oneness of Allah, and in the left hand for a disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah), and you will see the Mujrimûn (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.), fearful of that which is (recorded) therein.
20. They will say: “Woe to us! What sort of Book is this that leaves neither a small thing nor a big thing, but has recorded it with numbers!” And they will find all that they did, placed before them, and your Lord treats no one with injustice.
21. Surah 18:46 – 49 [Dr. Ghali English Translation] 46Wealth and sons are the adornment of the present life; and the enduring deeds of righteousness are more charitable in the Providence of your Lord for requital, and more charitable in aspiration.
22. 47And on the Day We will make the mountains to travel, and you see the earth coming forth, and We muster them so that We do not leave out any one of them.
23. 48And they are set before your Lord in ranks, “Indeed you have readily come to Us as We created you the first time; no indeed, you asserted that We would never make for you an appointment.”
24. 49And the Book will be laid down (i.e. placed in one’s hand). So you will see the criminals (feeling) timorous about what is in it, and they say, “oh woe to us! How is it with this Book, that it leaves out (nothing), small or great, except that it has enumerated it?” And they will find whatever they did present, and your Lord does no injustice to any one.
25. Surah 22:1 [The Noble Qur’an] 1O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him!
26. Surah 22:1 – 2 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 1O mankind! Fear your Lord! For the convulsion of the Hour [of Judgment] will be a thing terrible!
27. A terrible thing! You know what convulsion is. The world is suffering a minor convulsion now. What they are passing through is just a minor convulsion. Do you not know what it means for someone to experience convulsion?
28. 1O mankind! Fear your Lord! For the convulsion of the Hour [of Judgment] will be a thing terrible!
29. 2The Day you shall see it, every mother giving suck shall forget her suckling babe,… Have you heard it? What a terrible day, the day of the LORD shall be. [Ethiopic Book of Enoch 1, Chapter 99 verse 5]
30. …and every pregnant female shall drop her load [unformed]: you shall see mankind as in a drunken riot, yet not drunk: BUT DREADFUL WILL BE THE CHASTISEMENT OF ALLAH. Very horrible! You can imagine what will make a woman throw away her child and run away.
31. Surah 22:1 – 5. [The Noble Qur’an] 1O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him! Verily, the earthquake of the Hour (of Judgment) is a terrible thing.
32. 2The Day you shall see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling, and every pregnant one will drop her load,… women will deliver premature babies.
33. …and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet they will not be drunken, but severe will be the Torment of Allah.
34. 3And among mankind is he who disputes concerning Allah, without knowledge, and follows every rebellious (disobedient to Allah) Shaitân (devil) (devoid of every kind of good).
35. Can you imagine the people that will face that terrible earthquake as judgment?
36. 3And among mankind is he… A man or a woman …who disputes concerning Allah,… Who is still disputing concerning God. One that is not yet settled…without knowledge, and follows every rebellious (disobedient to Allah) Shaitân (devil) (devoid of every kind of good).
37. 4For him (the devil) it is decreed that whosoever follows him, he will mislead him, and will drive him to the torment of the Fire.
38. The devil vowed that whoever that follows him, he will lead the person straight to the torment of fire. So, let he that is courageous follow after the devil. Let him not seek the Word of Allah. I will keep on giving you the Word of God.
39. 5O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection,… The resurrection of the dead; if you are a part of the people that say that once a man dies, that is the end of everything about him.
40. 5O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily! We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge i.e. offspring of Adam),…
41. What God is trying to say is that resurrection is a reality. Resurrection is what? A Reality, which is the basis of our Faith. Even those who say they are Christians, what is the basis of their Christian Faith. Is it not the resurrection from the dead? Christ resurrected.
42. The Holy Qur’an is equally bearing evidence that there is resurrection of the dead. And when you resurrect, you will come to judgment. You just be judged.
43. If while we are talking, our mortal bodies are translated into immortality, all who will not be partakers will face God’s wrath. After which, he will still come to the White Throne Judgment to receive eternal sentence into hell.
44. What then will be the hope of the hypocrite that time? If they say that God does not exist, that day they will know that God really exists.
45. Surah 22:1 – 5. [Dr. Ghali English Translation] 1O you mankind, be pious to your Lord; surely the earthquake of the Hour is a tremendous thing.
46. 2On the Day you will see it, every suckling female will get distracted away from whatever she has suckled, and every pregnant female will lay down her burden; and you see mankind drunken, and in no way are they drunken but the torment of Allah is strict.
47. 3And among mankind is he who disputes concerning Allah without knowledge and closely follows every most insurgent Shayatîn (The ever-vicious ones, i.e., the devils).
48. 4Against him is written down that whomever takes the devil as patron then the devil leads into error and guides him to the torment of the Blaze.
49. 5O you mankind, in case you are suspicious as to the Rising again, then surely We created you from dust, thereafter from a sperm-drop, thereafter from a clot, (i.e., embryo)…
HAZRAT MAHDI’S (AS) FOLLOWERS TAKE REFUGE (FIND PEACE AND SECURITY BESIDE HIM) IN HIM, JUST AS HOW HONEY BEES TAKE REFUGE IN QUEEN BEE; HE WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH JUSTICE AND HONESTY.

ALLAH IS AMONG HIS PEOPLE
1. Surah 20:11 – 14. [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 11But when he came to the fire, a voice was heard: “O Moses! 12“Verily I am thy Lord! Therefore [in My presence] put off thy shoes: you are in the sacred valley Tuwa.
2. 13“I have chosen thee: listen, then, to the inspiration [sent to thee]. 14“Verily, I am Allah: There is no god but I: SO SERVE THOU ME [ONLY], AND ESTABLISH REGULAR PRAYER FOR CELEBRATING MY PRAISE.
3. Surah 20:11 – 14 [The Noble Qur’an] 11And when he came to it (the fire), he was called by name: “O Mûsa (Moses)! 12“Verily! I am your Lord! So take off your shoes, you are in the sacred valley, Tuwa.
4. 13“And I have chosen you. So listen to that which is inspired to you. 14“Verily! I am God! Lâ ilâha illa Ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I), SO WORSHIP ME, AND PERFORM AS-SALÂT (Iqâmat-as-Salât)FOR MY REMEMBRANCE.
5. Surah 20:11 – 14 [Dr. Ghali’s English Translation] 11And when he came to it, he was called, “O Moses, 12Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.
6. 13And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you]. 14Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.
7. Surah 48:1 – 7 [Dr. Ghali’s English Translation] 1Surely We have given you an evident conquest, 2That Allah may forgive you your guilty (deeds)-whatever of them has gone forward and whatever is postponed-and perfect His favour upon you, and guide you (The Prophet) on a Straight Path,
8. 3And that Allah may vindicate you with a mighty victory. 4He is (The One) Who has sent down serenity (or: tranquility) in the hearts of the believers, that they may increase in belief (added) to their belief; and to Allah belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth; and Allah has been Ever-Knowing, Ever-Wise.
9. 5That He may cause the male believers and the female believers to enter Gardens from beneath which the rivers run, eternally (abiding) therein, and expiate for them their odious deeds; and that is in the Providence of Allah a magnificent triumph.
6And that He may torment the male hypocrites and the female hypocrites, and the male associators and the female associators, (i.e., those who associate others with Allah) the ones surmising ill surmises of Allah. Against them will be the woeful turn of fortune; and Allah is angry with them and has cursed them and has prepared for them Hell-and what an odious Destiny!
10. 7And to Allah belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth, and Allah has been Ever-Mighty, Ever-Wise.
11. Surah 48:1 – 7 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 1VERILY WE HAVE GRANTED THEE A MANIFEST VICTORY: Children of God have been delivered2That Allah may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow; fulfill His favour to thee; and guide thee on the Straight Way;
12. 3And that Allah may help thee with powerful help. Allah may help us with powerful help, because we have believed in Him.
13. 4It is He Who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the Believers,… He sends serenity, tranquility into the hearts of the believers. Greater peace have they that love the LORD, for nothing shall, by any means, offend them [Psalms 119:165]
14. And victory now belongs to God’s people. No matter how the devil plans his moves, victory had already been conferred on God’s people.
15. 4It is He Who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the Believers, that they may add faith to their faith;-… That they may grow in Faith…for to Allah belong the Forces of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom;-
16. 5That He may admit the men and women who believe, to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever, and remove their ills from them;- AND THAT IS, IN THE SIGHT OF ALLAH, THE HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENT [FOR MAN],- Amen!
17. 6And that He may punish the Hypocrites, men and women, and the Polytheists men and women,… Those who believe in many gods [Trinitarians]…who imagine an evil opinion of Allah. On them is a round of Evil: the Wrath of Allah is on them: He has cursed them and got Hell ready for them: and evil is it for a destination.
18. 7For to Allah belong the Forces of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.
19. You see, this is what will befall the hypocrites. God had warned us through the Bible. God has warned us through the Holy Qur’an. Have we any excuse?
20. I am only using the Holy Qur’an to confirm that what we are hearing is the Truth and nothing but the Truth. If you go to Torah, it is the Truth. If you go to the Qur’an, it is the Truth. If you go to the Bible, it is the Truth. If you go to the Spoken Word, it is Truth.
21. Surah 48:1 – 7 [The Noble Qur’an] 1Verily, We have given you (O Muhammad) a manifest victory. 2That God may forgive you your sins of the past and the future, and complete His Favour on you, and guide you on the Straight Path;
22. 3And that God may help you with strong help. 4He it is Who sent down As-Sakinah (calmness and tranquility) into the hearts of the believers, that they may grow more in Faith along with their (present) Faith. And to God belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth, and God is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
23. 5That He may admit the believing men and the believing women to Gardens under which rivers flow (i.e. Paradise), to abide therein forever, and to expiate from them their sins, AND THAT IS WITH GOD, A SUPREME SUCCESS,
24. 6And that He may punish the Munâfiqûn (hypocrites), men and women, and also the Mushrikûn men and women, who think evil thoughts about God, for them is a disgraceful torment, and the Anger of God is upon them, and He has cursed them and prepared Hell for them, and worst indeed is that destination.
25. 7And to God belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth. And God is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
26. Surah 62:1 – 2. [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 1Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare the Praises and Glory of Allah,- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
27. 2It is He Who HAS SENT AMONGST THE UNLETTERED AN APOSTLE FROM AMONG THEMSELVES,[1]TO REHEARSE TO THEM HIS SIGNS,[2]TO PURIFY THEM, and [3]TO INSTRUCT THEM…[Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 – 20]
28. And for that reason, He sent an Apostle. If you read the Bible, God said He will send to us Prophets and Apostles.
29. Jesus said so, “Some of them, you will kill. Some you will imprison that the judgment of God, which He passed on your fathers and upon you as killers of God’s Messengers” may come to pass [Luke 11:49]
30. Till today, do we not have Apostles? Do we not have Prophets? That the Word of God might come to pass. What are they doing?
31. They are rehearsing the Signs from God, that will help us to believe, for through mighty signs and wonders, God brought the Gentiles to obedience to the Truth.
32. And then, they [the Prophets and Apostles] are instructing us on the Pathway of Right so that we do not go into error. But human beings are very difficult. Human beings are very difficult.
33. 2It is He Who HAS SENT AMONGST THE UNLETTERED AN APOSTLE FROM AMONG THEMSELVES,[1]TO REHEARSE TO THEM HIS SIGNS,[2]TO PURIFY THEM, and [3]TO INSTRUCT THEM IN SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM,-… Is this not what we have been doing all these years. Instructing ourselves, purifying our hearts with the Truth using the Scriptures.
34. …although they had been, before, in manifest error;-.
35. Surah 62:1 -2 [Noble Qur’an] 1Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies God, the King (of everything), the Holy, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
36. 2He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves, [1]reciting to them His Verses, [2]purifying them (from the filth of disbelief and polytheism), and [3]teaching them the Book (this Qur’ân, Islâmic laws and Islâmic jurisprudence) and Al-Hikmah (As-Sunnah: legal ways, orders, acts of worship, etc. of Prophet Muhammad). And verily, they had been before in manifest error;
37. Surah 62:1 – 2 [Dr. Ghali’s English translation] 1Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth extols to Allah, The King, The Superb Holy, The Ever-Mighty, The Ever-Wise.
38. 2He is The One Who has sent forth among the illiterate (i.e., unlettered Arabs; the common folk) a Messenger from among them, [1]to recite His ayat (Verses, signs) to them, [2]and to cleanse them, and [3]to teach them the Book and (the) Wisdom, though they were earlier indeed in evident error.
39. Surah 63:1 – 4 [The Noble Qur’an] 1When the hypocrites come to you… Will they come to you? Yes! Will they come to you? They are all around us. Even, there was one musician that included it in his song, “Hypocrites! Hypocrites!” That was Bob Marley? Bob Marley spoke concerning hypocrites.
40. WHEN GOD IS WITH YOU, THE HYPOCRITES ARE ALL AVERSE TO YOU. BUT WHEN GOD IS NOT WITH YOU, YOU ARE WITH THE HYPOCRITES.
41. 1When the hypocrites come to you (O Muhammad), they say: “We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah.” Can you imagine? Hypocrites! They merely pay lip service to it. They pay lip service to it. They bear witness, “We know indeed that you are a Messenger of God.”
42. Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger AND ALLAH BEARS WITNESS THAT THE HYPOCRITES ARE LIARS INDEED. [Ethiopic Book of Enoch 1, Chapter 62 verse 9 through 12]
43. Who is bearing the witness? God is bearing witness against them. Do not listen to them when they are flattering you. When they want to gain advantage over you, they will say, “You are a man sent by God. Never have we come across a man of God like you.” They do not mean it. They are scheming something.
44. God is also bearing witness against them that they are hypocrites. The confession is not from their hearts.
45. 2They have made their oaths a screen (for their hypocrisy). THUS THEY HINDER (MEN) FROM THE PATH OF GOD. Verily, evil is what they used to do. [Ethiopic Book of Enoch 1, Chapter 98 verse 15]
46. 3That is because they believed, then disbelieved, therefore their hearts are sealed, so they understand not.
47. 4And when you look at them, their bodies please you; and when they speak, you listen to their words. They are as blocks of wood propped up. They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies, so beware of them. May God curse them! How are they denying (or deviating from) the Right Path.
48. Surah 63:1 – 4 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 1When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say, “We bear witness that thou art indeed the Messenger of Allah.” Yea, Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His Messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the Hypocrites are indeed liars.
49. 2They have made their oaths a screen [for their misdeeds]: thus they obstruct [men] from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds.
50. 3That is because they believed, then they rejected Faith: So a seal was set on their hearts: therefore they understand not.
51. Pay attention here! 4When you look at them, their exteriors please thee; and when they speak, you listen to their words. They are as [worthless as hollow] pieces of timber propped up,…
52. When they speak, they are as worthless as worthless can be. Hypocrites!
53. They are as [worthless as hollow] pieces of timber propped up, [unable to stand on their own]. Never! They think that every cry is against them. They think that everybody is against them. They do not know that they are enemies to God.
54. They are the enemies; so beware of them. The curse of Allah be on them! How are they deluded [away from the Truth]!
55. Do what? Beware of hypocrites. That is why Jesus warned, “beware of the leaven of the Pharisees” which is what? Hypocrisy! When you see them making their long prayers, and see them walking holy holy, you think they are the people of God. They are not.
56. When they see you, “Brethren, bless you! Man of God, bless you”, they are hypocrites. God is against them. So, run away from them.
57. When we go further to verse 6, you will see their doom. God proclaimed their doom from verse 5 through 6. Their doom had already been foretold, for they could not stay for too long.
58. Surah 63:1 – 4 [Dr. Ghali’s English Translation] 1When the hypocrites come to you, they say, “We testify that surely you are indeed the Messenger of Allah.” And Allah knows (that) surely you are indeed His Messenger, and Allah testifies that surely the hypocrites are indeed liars.
59. 2They have taken to themselves their oaths as a pretext: so they have barred from the way of Allah. Surely odious is whatever they were doing.
60. 3That is for that they believed; thereafter they disbelieved; then their hearts have been stamped upon, (i.e., sealed) so they do not comprehend.
61. 4And when you see them, you admire their figures; and in case they speak, you hear their speech as if they were propped-up timbers.
62. They reckon every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah assail them! However are they diverged (from the Truth)!
63. Surah 63:5 – 6 [The Noble Qur’an] 5And when it is said to them: “Come, so that the Messenger of Allah may ask forgiveness from God for you”, they twist their heads, and you would see them turning away their faces in pride.
64. Have you heard it? Hypocrites!
65. 6It is equal to them whether you (Muhammad) ask forgiveness or ask not forgiveness for them, Allah will never forgive them. When you come to the point where God will not forgive you, who then will forgive you?
66. Verily, God guides not the people who are the Fâsiqîn (rebellious, disobedient to Allah),
67. Surah 63:5 – 6 [Dr. Ghali’s English Translation] 5And when it is said to them, “Come. The Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you,” they twist their heads, and you see them barring (themselves), and they are waxing proud.
68. 6Equal it is for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or you do not ask forgiveness for them, Allah will never forgive them; surely Allah does not guide the immoral people.
69. Surah 63:5 – 6 [Abdullah Yusuf Ali] 5And when it is said to them, “Come, the Messenger of Allah will pray for your forgiveness”, they turn aside their heads, and thou wouldst see them turning away their faces in arrogance.
70. 6It is equal to them whether thou pray for their forgiveness or not. Allah will not forgive them. Truly Allah guides not rebellious transgressors.
71. Have you heard it? Anybody that is disobedient and rebellious to the Word of Allah, can never receive Allah’s guidance. God can only Guide the obedient, the humble, the loyal, the faithful. He guides them to Paradise.
72. But when you are stubborn and arrogant and filled with pride, there is no way disobedience will not be your stock in trade. Is it a lie, Brethren? Your stock in trade will be disobedience.
73. And God will never forgive such people, for they had come into contact with the Truth. They pretend they are with the Truth and that they are believing, but in every work, they are reprobates. [Titus 1:16]
74. I hope we do not have such a person in this family. Who will like to be this type of fellow, who will be so provocative in the sight of God that God will no longer pardon him his iniquities? And God will not hear any prayer that is made on his behalf. Who will like to be that person?
75. The die is cast! We have come to the end of everything. The only thing we are waiting for is the proclamation, which you know will go forth from this family. And when that Word goes forth, in that one second, it can never be withdrawn again.
76. Once in that twinkling of an eye, the Voice goes forth, that is all. And you dare not hear it from My mouth until the day of our departure.
77. I know when the stage is set. I know when you are ripe. I know the right time to collect the ball. I know the right time to blow the last blast of the whistle. That is where everybody should wait for Me.
78. You were waiting for Me when nobody is ready. That is why I decided to prepare My own family. I said it long, long time ago. If after waiting for you, if you are not ripening; if after labouring, you are not ripening, I will take My family and go to My house, prepare them and take them away. What I have in My family is sufficient for Me. What Noah had after 120 years was sufficient for him.
79. This is what I want to share with you. Let somebody lead us in prayer.
80. I have used the Holy Qur’an today, being Friday and I titled it, RAMADAN VOICE. This is so that if you do not believe the Holy Bible, if you do not believe the Torah, you do not believe the Holy Qur’an, now, come up and tell us what you believe.
81. If you do not believe in the Spoken Word, God has blessed us with an Apostle in the family. And then, we give God the praise. He has given us a Pastor. He has given us an Evangelist. He has given us Teachers. We are lacking nothing.
82. If anybody perishes, it is because the person has wronged himself, for Allah does not wrong anybody. Rather, people wrong themselves. Lead us in Prayers.
CONCLUSION
PRAYER
1. Almighty God, indeed, you are a great God. You are a loving Father. There is no truly loving Father that will see his child in error and keeps quiet. You are ever mindful, making sure that you can never lose anybody that is called by your Name.
2. In the same way, the devil is also labouring to grab us from your grip. But we know LORD that it is impossible, O LORD. Because you have decreed it, we believe it, and so it stands.
3. Father, we thank you for the Word you have given us this day. We thank you for this Message LORD. Father, from all indications, you have used everything physically speaking and naturally speaking O LORD to show us the Truth. Father, we are without excuse.
4. Father, O LORD, allow this Teaching to have a strong hold in our lives. Never allow us to go back to those things which we have recanted O LORD.
5. Father, you said that there is only a Straight Way that leads to Allah [that leads to you]. Father as we have followed this Straight Way, may it lead us to you and straight to Paradise.
6. Never allow us to toe that path of the arrogant, the path of the hypocrites, or the path of the unbelievers. Never allow it to be associated with this Great Family.
7. Father LORD, as we have decided as a family and we have united ourselves with this Truth, May you allow this Truth O LORD, to lead us in everything that we do.
8. Father allow us to have the consciousness of this Truth O LORD. Wherever we find ourselves and wherever we go may this Truth stand before us at every point in time. Father, never allow us to go against this truth for one day.
9. Father LORD, in anyway the devil is following us, Father you see the devil walking to and fro, looking for who he [devil] will get hold of; In any way he walks, wherever he walks O LORD, never allow him to creep into this Family O LORD.
10. Build a strong hedge around this Family LORD. Never allow him to see any space O LORD, any human being or anybody to use to penetrate and use the person LORD.
11. Rather, make us to be strong instruments in your hand O LORD. May you never allow us to be porous O LORD at any point in time, whether in the night or in the day. Make us to be Holy Ghost-filled at every point in time.
12. Father, we are making this prayer on behalf of every Elect, every believer who is worshipping you in spirit and in Truth. I do not care where they are. Whether they are in Nigeria or abroad, we are making this prayer on behalf of all those individuals, that you continue to use them and uphold them to great heights O LORD.
13. May you never allow them to be a tool in the hand of the devil in this Bridal generation O LORD. Father we know that the devil had sworn to adorn the path of error to all that believe you.
14. We know also that you have come down also in human form to make sure that you will bring all that believe in you into your promised Paradise. Father may we all be found ready on that day.
15. Never allow any one of us that have believed in you O LORD to be disappointed. If we put our hands in the Scriptures, you have never done that O LORD.
16. You are the God of possibilities. You are the God that maketh everything right.
17. Father, we are standing, not in our own righteousness, but in your righteousness. Father, King of Glory, we are pleading for your Grace. It is your Grace that we need to continue in this journey.
18. We are not standing in our own might or in our own strength, but we are just relying on your Grace and your Grace alone. Father LORD, cause your Grace to lead us into this promised Paradise.
19. Father, this is the Prayer we make for every believer. Our family annexes, wherever they are, Father, transmit this Message into their hearts O LORD.
20. And whosoever that is going to listen to this Message with the purity of heart, cause the person, cause the family, cause the individual O LORD to get the desired salvation of his soul.
21. We are believing in you because you have done it before and you will do it again. Father we thank you O LORD. We raise up our hands to thank you for all you have done in our lives O LORD.
22. We are saying that throughout the whole world, you remain our God. Reign forever in your Throne, for we pray through Peter the Christ our LORD. Amen!!!
