PREACHED ON SUNDAY, 21ST JUNE 2020 AT THE BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN (THE VOICE OF LIFE)
I am not sent to come and raise failures, rather I am sent to come and make failures successful. Finish! Once I succeed in transforming your lives by giving you new ethical reorientation, by changing your views about life, those that have seen life as a bed of roses will wake up from slumber and together, we will face the stark realities of life.
FACTS ABOUT LIFE; Preached on Sunday 21st June 2009 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 115 vs. 44 – 45

A new life begins with TRUTH FROM CHRIST
On this note, I will like us to switch over to the Message I recommended to all the Brethren, titled WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION, which I never knew is contained also in the Message we read. To God be the Glory.
Whoever that is reading it, take into consideration that you are making a tape. If you use a lower voice to spoil the tape, I will punish you after.
WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION preached on 5th April, 1998 by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN.
Page 5 Nugget. God is Almighty. He can do all things. Even things you cannot imagine God doing, He will do it because He is God.
He is Almighty. He can do all things. Can you find fault with God? Can you correct God? People, at times, try to limit God.
Satan will rise up in judgement against this generation. Make sure Brethren that you are not numbered among those people whom Satan will rise up in judgement to testify against. [MY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ME]
In other words, the devil must testify against this generation.
[PROPHECIES] SEARCH YOURSELF: “Brethren, do you not know that rebellion is just like witchcraft and it has come into this Church this day to bewitch the Church?
You have rebelled against the Word of God; you have rebelled against the man of God; you have rebelled against God; you have rebelled against the Son of Man.
You are now in the Fellowship to bewitch the Church. You know yourself very well. Look at the condition you have put this Church in. Please, put yourself out before God deals with you.
I believe God will do excommunication this very day. I believe excommunication must be done so that the House of God will be cleansed once more; so that He will be free to move within His people.
Oh! Look at how He has recoiled now when He had actually decided to come down and walk on His two feet to sojourn with His people; but, your witchcraft has brought reproach to the Church.
Do you not know that when you are rebellious against the Son of God, the Apostle, you are rebelling against God?”
This was a prophecy from our former Pastor, Nnamdi Ogbogu who is now late.
Page 17 from verse 28. I said I love God. I trust the God that I am worshipping. You can outsmart man, but you cannot outsmart God. Look at how wicked we are. This is because we do not have a personal revelation of what is happening.
We can outsmart our fellow man, but no human being born of a woman can outsmart God. We can play subtlety and craftiness, manipulate things, manipulate even our behaviours when we have not decided to repent and change from our wicked ways.
Whatever we are manifesting is just mere cover up, using the Faith as a cover up to perpetuate evil in both private and secret places, thinking that God will not catch us. Are we not fooling ourselves? We think we are playing smartness. Can a man born of a woman outsmart God? Amen.
EXAMINE YOURSELF: Think about your past life. Think about where you are redeemed from. Think about where you are called out from. You have come to this level and you are not grateful, I pity you. Amen!
Where are you coming from? Where are you now? Who do you give the credit? The devil or God? It depends on where you are coming from and where you are.
If you are maturing daily in evil, growing daily in iniquity, give the devil the credit, to your own shame and condemnation.
It is not because the Message has no power to save, or to convert, to restore and reconcile. You are what you are in evil because you have abjectly rejected the truth. You are saying to the truth, “Get away. I do not need you for now.”
But if you were in error, you had a very poor beginning and as you journeyed along, Christ met you or you met Christ, believing in Him, abiding in Him, growing in the knowledge of who He is, growing in His teachings, in doctrines, you discover that you have become a changed human being for the better, and that every day your life is becoming transformed for the better, who do you give the credit? God!
So, your character is either crediting God or discrediting God. True or false?
Page 17 from verse 30. Let Me tell you, this is the hour of the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God. Amen!
A song writer said, “When I remember what the Lord has done, I will never go back anymore. When I remember what the Lord has done, I will never go back anymore. No, no, no, no, no, no! I will never go back anymore. No, no, no, no, no, no! I will never go back anymore.
You want peace, real peace, peace unto everlasting life, allow God to come into your heart. He will remove your sins. Your night will turn to day. Allow God to come into your heart.
He has now revealed how we have manifested. But I know what He is doing. He is going to turn back, He is going to open your heart, He is going to tell you many things, for He has sworn that He will do that. Amen!
THE FEAR OF GOD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM.
The fear of God is what? The beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is what?
O youth, if the foundation of your life was not laid in the fear of God, pity for yourself. Was the foundation of your life laid in pride and arrogance, threat to the life of those you will kill and those you will leave alive, kicking down doors, jumping over fences, stealing handsets from charging point and always being locked up in the police cell? Check the foundation of your life.
Did you start with chasing women up and down or being proud and stubborn to the truth? Let it be known to you that you will dig your own grave while you are still alive.
With one hand, you will bury yourself, while the other hand will be left outside the grave. This is because there is no way someone will bury himself without one hand left outside the grave.
Amen! So, think about your life, whether you are starting your life today. I do not mean all the years you lived.
The day a man starts his life is the day he welcomes the truth from Christ. A new life begins from that day. True or false?
The new life of Saint Paul marked the day he started living the acceptable life in the sight of God.
Your life before God was nothing until you come to the knowledge of the truth. Is it a lie Brethren? Our lives are nothing until we come to the knowledge of the truth.
Do we not sing it in our song? “God met me on the way and did me good. Our Lord met me on the way and brought me home. When I was wandering in the world without any hope, God met me on the way and did me good.”
So our lives were useless and not worthy of living without Christ. Life without Christ, is it worthy of living? No! We were living a hopeless and useless life, destructive lifestyles until truth came, and we welcomed it.
Today might be the day. You might be groping in darkness, deceiving yourself saying that you are in the Message of the Son of Man and living with Him in the family as His son or wife or daughter and this and that. That does not give you the ticket to Paradise. Did you get the Message?
If that will give you the ticket to Paradise, Absalom will be in Paradise. Hophni and Phinehas will be in Paradise.
So, you should know the day you repented. You should know the day you changed over to a new leaf because Messages might be coming. Every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner.
The day you welcomed the truth that changes your life, that is the day you will keep in mind. Your life starts that moment; that day! Previous lives were wasted lives; wasted energy.
That is why, if any man be in Christ, he becomes an entirely new creature. A brand new fellow. Old ways of life are passed away. A new life has begun.
17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV]
17When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun. [2 Corinthians 5:17 LB]
If you know the day the new life has started in you that is the day your life here on earth in Christ takes off. It can be this morning. I am telling you the whole truth, for this Voice is going far. It is not limited to this family.
It is for as many as are numbered among the people that will be saved in this generation through the belief of the truth. Amen.
If you want to correct anything evil in your family, correct the relationship between you and your wife. Then, the rest of the children will now line up. When you come to a point where you wife will never live to see any of your children insulting you, and you will never live to see any of your children insulting her; you are constantly defending her; she is constantly defending you, where will your child stay and carry out that iniquity? You now take what we call, “Joint Measure” against evil because you have now cemented your relationship. Can this be achieved? The answer is Yes! The Bridal Faith is just a small family. We are the smallest family on earth and we know ourselves. As a result, the best is to be expected from us. Do not tell me that you have done your best and nothing will work anymore. You have not done your best until you achieve your aim.
THE BEHAVIOUR OF HUSBANDS AND WIVES EXPLAINED; Preached on Sunday 18th November, 2007 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 97 vs. 79

EVIL MUST BE STAMPED OUT OF EVERY FAMILY
WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION preached on 5th April, 1998 by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN. Page 26 Nugget.
If God is dependable, you must be dependable. Whatever God is, [that] is what you should be because you are a child of God. You have the Spirit of God in you.
So, all the attributes of God must be made visible in your daily life. This is where poverty has emanated. Poverty is a sign of unfaithfulness.
Poverty is what? A sign of unfaithfulness. How you know one that is unfaithful. Yes! I believe it, for God can never tell lies on such a matter, and the Bible said, “No good thing shall the Lord withhold from those that walk uprightly, for it shall be well with the righteous.”
11For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. [Psalms 84:11]
25And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us. [Deuteronomy 6:25 KJV]
So, the Lord can never be guilty of disobedience or dishonour to His Word. Did you get the Message?
David who proved God said, “I was young, now I am old, I have never seen a seed of God, a child of God forsaken nor going about begging bread.”
25I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. [Psalms 37:25 KJV]
But unfaithfulness to God, hypocrisy, craftiness and manipulations hinder people from getting God’s blessings, for God knoweth the heart of all.
He knows those that are obeying from their hearts. He equally knows those that are merely paying lip service to His Message.
If you are unreliable, God will not help you. Your fellow human beings will not help you. Nobody helps a fraudulent fellow.
For God to grant you the favour of the heathens because He had already promised that the fruits of the heathens ye shall eat, but you will not eat it in unrighteousness.
Your faithfulness must be visible before God and man. GIVE IN GOOD FAITH.
Page 32 from verse 17. Brother Nath! Carry your bag and go back to Isiala-Ngwa immediately.
The matter at stake! Even now! When was this Message handled? [5th of April, 1998] And the matter is still on till now. He was excommunicated last week by his son from their family worship. He petitioned Me.
The second son excommunicated him and warned Emma. He gave Emma final warning that any day he comes back to the house by 11 o’clock in the night, that he stands excommunicated.
Nath called Me, and I presented his case before him, right from the beginning. He wept sore, for he acknowledged all to be truth.
He acknowledged that he has been troubling himself troubling his family and also troubling the Faith. And look at what he is raising. Cannon fodder! Unbelief killed almost half of his children.
Brother Nath, carry your bag and go back to Isialangwa immediately. If you were wise, you could have understood that I did not send you to the Pastor. Go and put your house in order! Until that is done, do not ever appear in Onitsha.
So his house was not in order since 1998, even till the year 2020. When will it be in order again?
We want money for publishing of the book, but we do not want it by all means. Are you getting what I am saying? We need money for the publishing of the book, but we do not need that money by all means.
If you are not a child of God, you have no right to sponsor the things of God. Amen! Your money may even frustrate the work. Sure!!! I mean, the money we collect from a heathen may even frustrate the work. Pure truth! So, Brother Nath is worse than a heathen.
1998! Up till today, he is still worse than an infidel; a heathen. No change! Rather, he is getting worse. The family is getting worse and the entire children getting worse.
If a Pastor is like that, how do you think the Church will look like?
Remember, that time he was the Pastor in charge of the Church at Isiala-Ngwa. Now a Bishop, deposed. The reason why he was deposed is still there, and God enduring him with much patience.
You might be another Nath. You might be worse than Nath. You saw what happened here on Saturday morning, that there could be somebody who is worse than Onyema Njom.
And I kept on saying it each time people were jubilating whenever Onyema was called to order. That there were too many people among us worse than Onyema Njom.
Amankem was a Teacher but today, Amankem is worse than Onyema Njom. Yet, he is a Teacher of good things which he does not practice.
Page 34 from verse 24. Thus, it is better you bring N20 or N10 with a pure heart than to give N1, 000,000 with impure heart. Sure!
Thus, it is better you bring N20 or N10 with a pure heart than to give N1, 000,000 with impure heart. Pure truth!
Page 36 verse 31. I am tired of repeating one thing over and over to an adult, especially to an Elder as if I am gaining anything from that thing. Sure!
You are the one benefiting from it. I don’t have a single benefit from it. It is for the good of the entire Household. I do not benefit from it.
Page 37 from verse 33. It is the same problem we are having in Onitsha Church; many of our young men in Onitsha are not children of God. I speak to your shame because you do not have any reason to give why you are not a child of God.
I thought living together will help you, but I am now beginning to suspect something in your living together. Once an evil person comes in, he will come with an evil heart and try to influence the rest.
Sure!!! You see why evil must be stamped out of every family. Admit an evil man into your family and corrupt your family for he is coming in with evil, evil intentions. No matter how you lift up a standard in your family through preaching, he will find a way to circumvent it.
That is why the Bible said, “An evil man rests at nothing until he has wreaked havoc.” An evil fellow does not rest; he does not sleep until he has wreaked havoc.
16For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall. [Proverbs 4:16 NIV]
That is why you must mark them and avoid them. Do not give them even a second that the truth of the Gospel might continue. Is it not the scriptural injunction?
17Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. [Romans 16:17 KJV]
5to whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. [Galatians 2:5 KJV]
So all of you in this family hearing My Voice now should take note. The Voice said, “When we dismiss today, go home. Go and look into your past life. Look into your present life. Then, compare and contrast. If you notice that, in spite of how many years you have lived with Me in this house, how many years you have been hearing the Word of God, that no positive change has taken place in your life for the better, simply vacate My family immediately. It is better you vacate before I will vacate you.” I hope I am making sense?
I am drumming it into everybody’s ears. “Daddy, please I will change.” No! “Mummy please, talk to Daddy. I have vowed.”
And to My wife I say, “Please, this family is of age. 32 years cannot be 32 days. Is it true? And our last born child is 20 years. Good! 20 years, is it 20 days? Am I having any infant in this family? I do not have any infant.”
So, if there be anybody who has developed such a stony and impenetrable heart, claiming to be unreasonable over godly matters but reasonable over foolish things, that will be another Amankem, who does not care about another person’s welfare.
He knows how to preserve his own things, but does not know how to preserve that of others. In other words, he is selfish. He is wicked. Did you get the Message? If he claims he is unreasonable why did he not go about naked?
HEAR ME VERY WELL, ALL OF YOU. THE STANDARD FOR THIS FAMILY IS THE STANDARD FOR EVERY FAMILY IN THIS BRIDAL FAITH.
For that reason, any manifestation of anything contrary to the truth, as revealed to us, must be hateful before Me, before the Almighty and must be gotten rid of with immediate effect.
The days are over when we begged somebody to obey. I am not threatening you. When you see Me implementing the Word of God, simply give Glory to God. No more. No less! Do not try to be on the way of God. Otherwise, you destroy your life before your time.
I have given this notice over and over. If you have come to a point where you believe that the Word of God is impracticable, please vacate. Leave My family and leave this Faith. Go to the people that believe what you believe and practice what you want to practice.
It is not compulsory that we must worship this same God. But as long as you are under My umbrella, under My roof, it is a must. Did you get the Message?
For as for Me and My family, we have entered into an everlasting covenant with the Living God that till eternity, we will worship the Living God without compromise.
So, note what is there. An evil man with evil heart and an evil intention. Once he enters a family or enters a group, he will pollute it. He will introduce strange characters; hateful characters, for he will be insisting that everybody will bend to his own side.
NOTHING IS MORE INFLUENTIAL AND INFECTIOUS THAN EVIL. EVIL INFLUENCES PEOPLE MORE THAN RIGHT LIVING, FOR PEOPLE BY NATURE TEND TOWARDS EMULATING EVIL MORE THAN GOOD. PEOPLE EASILY DANCE TO BAD EXAMPLE INSTEAD OF GOOD EXAMPLE.
That is why you can see an infant in the house; he may not know how to sing any Godly song, but he will recite every worldly music.
You catch them behind the house. You catch them in the kitchen, even where they are dancing and raising their hands.
He will recite every lyric in that record, but he can never stand up and sing, “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretched sinner like me.”
He cannot recite it without carrying hymn book. Without hymn book, there is no song in the hymn book he can memorize and recite, but he can stand up and finish the whole oriental brothers.
He can finish the whole of Micheal Jackson, finish Lucky Dube, everything about J-Martins, P-Square and Tu-face, for he has of all of them upstairs. He can recite Timaya. He can even sing Yoruba songs without understanding, because it is very sweet to him.
But how many songs can he stand up and then sing without carrying hymn book? What am I saying? PEOPLE LEARN EVIL VERY READILY AND VERY EASILY, EVEN MORE THAN GOOD. Is there truth in it? Is there truth in it?
It is always very easy for foolish people to learn evil very readily and very easily more than good. If people can learn good things easily the way they learn evil things, evil things will be scarce.
Why is evil abundant everywhere? It is more easily learnt than good things, and especially in one devoid of the fear of God. Will someone who does not have good plan for himself have for another?
One that was not well trained, who thinks that evil is good and grows in it! When he gets old, people will look for where he can be sent for proper upbringing at old age! One who has overgrown!
That is why there is a certain age you will get to and no trader will accept you as an apprentice. Is it a lie? No workman [artisan] will admit you as apprentice, for you have seen life more than the master.
You have known evil more than the man who wants to train you. What is he going to teach you again?
It takes a strong heart to take a strong decision that can get you out of that type of mess. You must have a resolution. Call it old or adult resolution because you know the consequences. Amen.
When will you have the testimony? I mean the testimony of what you were in time past and what you are today.
If I say my life is a testimony, it is a testimony because I know where I am coming from, and I know what My life would have been if God never came My way. If when I heard the truth, I set it aside, I know I would not be what I am today.
So I will give the glory and credit to God for coming My way, helping Me to believe in Him, and then to put it into practice, thereby creating enmity in My heart against My old path.
If enmity is not created in your heart against your past way of life, you have not come out of it. If enmity is not created in your heart against your old past life, your sinful way of life and thinking, you have not come out. You have not come out!
That is why the book of Isaiah said, “Reject and discard your old ways of life that were sinful, very offensive, provocative.” He said, “Reject! Drop it! Cast it away! Regard it the sme way a woman regards her menstrual clothe.”
Say, “I will never try it again! I have lived in it for too long, and it helped me not one bit. Why should I continue in it?”
One who has seen the right road and prefers to enter the bush, what should he be called? He is both spiritually and physically blind. A mad fellow is better than such a person. You have seen the road and prefers to roam inside the bush! Amen!
God has shown us the right way of life that will lead us to eternal life. If we abandon it and begin to grope in darkness, who do we blame? We blame ourselves! We are not even worthy to live.
For rejecting the truth, we are worthy of death because whosoever that rejects the truth from Christ, the Bible said, he can never taste of eternal life, but the wrath of God abideth on him forever and ever.
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. [John 3:36 KJV]
He can never taste of eternal life, but the wrath of God abideth on him forever and ever. Amen!
WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION; Page 37 from verse 35. I will raise the alarm again. I thought I have solved the problem, but from all indications, I have not solved the problem. Many are just suppressing their problems;
Many! Even till today. Mere suppression! Manipulation! And these are counterfeits who, from time to time, will open up, but when they are caught, they come down. Lift up the Message, they just suppress it. But God wants to see a permanent nature.
If the change that is in Me is not permanent, it is man-made. It is borne out of the fear of men and not out of the fear of God.
If the change that is in My life is borne out of the fear of God, wherever I find Myself, the fear of God is there. Is it not true?
There is no place I am where the fear of God will depart, For I believe where I am, I am there with God and the eyes of God are upon Me, for the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous wherever he goes, to guide and to protect.
And the eyes of the Lord are also upon the wicked to catch him, so as to destroy him along the way. Is it not God that arrested Balaam on the way?
God who arrested Balaam on the way can also arrest another. Is he the only one that God arrested? He [God] has arrested many.
God arrested the young prophet, even Jeroboam and Rehoboam that called themselves young men, who said that they will rule the youth way! It is our time! To the neglect of God’s instruction.
They felt they had arrived. I have become a matured youth! Who can talk to me again? Let not this type of haughty spirit ever come into your life. It is a destructive spirit.
We call it, Torotoro spirit (spirit of pride and arrogance). Pride kills.
Torotoro spirit! Spirit of pride! When you look at yourself, you puff up your shoulders. You then start dragging your feet on the floor while walking. Instead of lifting up your legs, you prefer to drag it!
You devise a style of bending your hip and neck while walking. And while walking, you will keep admiring yourself. A man will be admiring himself as if he is now a woman.
Why are you admiring your shape? Are you a woman? No matter how beautiful you turn out to be, no man will price you. and no woman will find you worthy.
You are rather putting yourself into trouble, because you will incur that which you will not be able to cope with. Pure truth! You will incur what is beyond your capacity. This is pure truth.
Do you have wealth? An Igbo adage says that one who beautifies self should be rich. Where is your wealth? What do you have? One who beautifies self should make money. Beautifying yourself without wealth means bringing trouble to yourself. Yes!
Before you know it, you tell people you are in Dubai, you are in England or you are in Germany when you have not even seen the Onitsha Main Market.
Before you know it, you will be telling people that you opened a big centre at Shoprite®, when your centre is in the kitchen.
So let us be very careful. Stop priding yourself outside Christ. He that want to glory should glory in God.
27to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: [Colossians 1:27 KJV]
Thou man, thou woman, you are inexcusable before God as far as this Message of Marriage and divorce is concerned. There is no reason you can give as a man why you must not exercise authority over your wife. There is no reason you can give as a wife why you must not reverence you own husband, serve your husband, obey him in all things as your God and as your creator. You have no reason. I have told you, “To be compassionate is to do the will of God.” Oftentimes, men have been guilty of displacing themselves from their homes. they call it love. That love that neglects the Word of God is a devilish love. It contains no truth. – THE SON OF MAN –
THOU ART INEXCUSABLE BEFORE GOD VOLUME 2; Page 88 verse 19 – 20

NOBODY IS INDISPENSABE IN THE HOUSE OF GOD
WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION preached on 5th April, 1998 by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN. Page 38 from verse 36.
DO NOT ABUSE THE PRIVILEGE GIVEN TO YOU: Bro. Okechukwu Paul, the same way I am trailing the Pastor of the Church, is the same way I am trailing you now. I said I am trailing you. You have heard it from my mouth concerning the Pastor of this Church that I will not cease to excommunicate him from the Body of Christ.
I did not hide it from you because we work very closely. There are many things the Pastor of this Church does not know about Me, but I have only but very few things that are hidden from you. I have touched on those things a little. If many do not know Me, you know Me.
Many things I do not speak out here in Onitsha; many things I do not tell individuals here in Onitsha, I tell you all those things. I take you far, and there, show you certain things. I MEAN, MANY THINGS I DO NOT EVEN MANIFEST IN THIS FAITH BECAUSE OF THEIR UNBELIEF. I TAKE YOU OUTSIDE AND SHOW YOU THAT SIDE.
I AM NOT MAD. THE MOMENT I SEE ABUSE OF SUCH PRIVILEGES, I WILL CLOSE MY EYES AND THROW YOU OUT INTO THE WORLD AND CAUSE YOU TO DO THINGS THAT WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR FORGIVENESS.
THIS IS BECAUSE, IF I DO NOT WITHDRAW THE SPIRIT FROM YOU, SURELY YOU WILL KEEP ON CRYING AND COMING BACK. BUT IF I WITHDRAW THE SPIRIT, YOU WILL BE A MAD MAN. YOU WILL BEHAVE RASHLY [and] DO THINGS THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN STAND AND SAY, “PLEASE, I AM SORRY.” WHAT WILL CAUSE IT? SHEER CARELESSNESS.
Page 46 from verse 64. 64Where are we heading Brethren? If at this time, we should be expecting “the catching away of the saints,” we see people in our midst manifesting unbelief, what will we say to such people?
That goes to show that “big names” can hardly make it. God knows the few people that are going to make it.
The few that are going to make it. The few! Take note!
Page 48 verse 69. THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOUL FIRST: It is the salvation of My soul first. Any other thing; secondary.
Verse 71. 71If you understand me, God will help you. I will not because you are rendering domestic services to Me forfeit my soul or stay in bondage for it will be a sin for a man to stay in bondage in his own house.
Sure! I hope you are paying attention. You see why I emphasized on it here. Do you hear it from My mouth from time to time?
Do not ever feel you are indispensable here, because you are rendering one service or another domestically, for there is no service you are rendering here, for which nobody is vying for that position within and without.
Instead of you to hold Me in bondage because you are doing this or that, I will sack you and bring in a heathen who is not in this Faith. Have I not been saying it?
INSTEAD OF RECRUITING A BROTHER TO MY COMPOUND and LIVING WITH HIM; OR RECRUITING A SISTER WILL BE MY DESTRUCTION; WILL BE AN OBSTRUCTION TO MY ETERNAL RACE, I BETTER REMOVE HIM AND BRING IN A HEATHEN.
THAT IS, IF IT IS NECESSARY THAT I MUST CONTINUE TO LIVE WITH SOMEBODY.
So, everybody is dispensable in this family, as far as eternal life is concerned. So, there is a way you can occupy domestic positions in the family and it becomes bondage.
You begin to hold everybody hostage. It will never happen in My family. That is why I give everybody equal opportunity. You do not assume responsibility over any work in My family.
Do not arrogate to yourself powers you do not possess. You have no position that is credited to you as your permanent work, “My schedule of duty.” The schedule of duty is in Me.
I can assign you to anywhere with the instruction, “Do this for Me. Do this for Me. Do this for Me.” But when you arrogate one to yourself, it becomes your exclusive work. No, I will not permit it.
Everybody must be conversant with what we are doing in the family. Is it not My teaching? So, if you are having that spirit of possessing a section of our mansion, and that will be yours, stop it immediately.
And if I notice that you are not ready to learn, and that you are not ready to improve by learning from others, I am sending you away, for you cannot be in My house, only for Me to train you, take good care of you, when you are not rendering any acceptable service.
If you are leaving in your parent’s house, will you not go on errands? Who does not go on errand in his parent’s house?
So, if you see this place as a holiday resort, where you will come and fatten yourself and look better or eat better, and that becomes what you benefitted from living in the house of the Son of Man, it is a lie. I will never tolerate it. Never, never!
“Let us go to the house of the Son of Man to rest and play. That is where we can relax and watch television.” It can never happen here. Did you get what I am saying?
As at that time, Okey Nwamkpa was harbouring up to four sisters, together with his own family. And they were rendering no service. Laziness set in, with each one waiting for the other to render domestic services. Everywhere was frustrated.
Some of them even so acquired the kitchen and rendered the wife redundant. There is a way you can take possession of the kitchen, and you render the woman in charge of the kitchen redundant.
She will not know her duties again. The time she will use to prepare her husband’s meal, she will be lying in the bed, sleeping and pointing hands and asking if Daddy has been served his food. Who will serve your husband if not you?
This is because the message is clear on that matter. No matter how many children you have, the serving of your husband is your sole responsibility, whether you are sick or healthy.
If the man can provide food whether he is dying or he is healthy, you as the wife must serve him in life or in death. A responsibility that can never be shared with anybody.
So let us be very careful, and correct every imbalance. Wherever we notice it, correct it immediately. That is what the Word of God is commanding us today. Do not wait until tomorrow.
YOU CAN BE WEAK IN EVERYTHING, BUT NOT WEAK OVER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. WEAKNESS CAN NEVER GET THERE.
Like now, we do not have any female. All of you are young men. You have your limitations. You cannot fill the gap of my wife. My wife cannot fill your gap. Am I making sense?
But the moment you begin to go contrary to the established rule by the Almighty God, you cause chaos. You cause confusion. And you will bring something that is hateful into the family.
IT IS EASIER TO LAY A BAD PATTERN THAN TO DESTROY IT. DID YOU GET WHAT I AM SAYING?
OFTEN TIMES, WE DESTROY A PATTERN WE LAID AFTER RIGHTEOUS LIVING AND AFTER GODLY LIVING. WE DESTROY IT BY OUR LAZINESS AND OUR UNNECESSARY EXCUSES.
I was watching the television the other day, and I noticed a woman that valued her work more than her service to her husband.
The thing became very obnoxious and intolerable to the man when the woman will be coming back from her work around 8 or 9pm.
Before the man will talk, the reply will be, “I think I prepared soup. Soup is in the fridge. Garri is in the store. Do we not have stove there? I was trying to balance my ledger [my book].” Every day, she kept doing the same thing, being an accountant.
One day, the man traced her back to the work, and saw her with her laptop, balancing accounts by 8:30 in the night. And the man forced her to close it, “Shut down the system!”
She resisted, but the man pulled her by the dress and shut down the system, and then carried her back home with one instruction, “Tender your resignation immediately! I do not need your salary anymore. Let me die of starvation in this house.”
This woman became stubborn. Then the man said, “I have never beaten you all this while, and even since I married you, though we have lived for 9 years, with no single child. I love you. I am waiting on God to bless us with a child, but concerning this work, I do not need it again.
I never married you because of work. I married you for myself. How can I be a married man and live the life of a bachelor? Every day, I give myself food and prepare your own so that you will eat. And when you come back, you are very weak. You take your bath and you will sleep off.
By 5 o’clock in the morning, you go out to take a bus that will take you to Itire in Lagos.” Did you get the Message now?
The man forced her to write the resignation and to tender it. When she tendered the resignation, her boss ran mad, “You are a utility worker and very useful. The company will collapse.”
She said, “How can I allow your company to flourish and then my family will collapse? I am married! We do not have a child. Look at what my husband is passing through. I am resigning at his command.”
The man [her boss] said, “This is very painful. Nevertheless, let me accept it because your husband said so.”
But this woman did not do it in good fate. She did it outside the revelation of the truth. She came back. Every now and then she will complain, “You said I should resign. I want to make my hair.”
The man will ask, “How much is it?” And she will reply, “I need fifteen thousand naira [₦15,000].” The man will exclaim, “₦15,000? What is wrong with this hair?”
She will say, “There is undergrowth. I have carried it for 2 weeks.” Then the man will say, “Okay, I do not have ₦15,000.” And she retorts again, “But you stopped me from working.”
To this the man said, “From now, I want you to go and barb this hair. You will be carrying low cut. Instead this high level of hair makeup will cause trouble, carry low-cut.”
She went to sob, and started moving from one idiot to another to get counsel. The man insisted that she must carry low-cut.
When she resisted, one night, she went to bed, but she never knew that the man bought a very new pair of scissors.
And the man trimmed the hair from 3 sides; sideways, middle and the other side, and then hid the thing.
In the morning, this woman saw the thing and ran mad. Hell was let loose. The man ignored her rioting. When she calmed down, normalcy was restored.
Do you know that within the 4 months she stayed at home with the man, this woman conceived? She became pregnant. And there was peace in the home, without money.
I BETTER ENJOY PEACE IN POVERTY IN MY HOME THAN TO ENJOY TROUBLE BECAUSE I HAVE MONEY. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
Christ came into the family, for the man restored her to daily prayers and daily worship in the home. And then, God started blessing them.
Before they knew it, the man got a better job where he had an offer that took care of the family more and better than they were living before.
SO WHAT AM I SAYING? WHATEVER YOU ESTEEM HIGHER THAN THE UPKEEP OF YOUR FAMILY, THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FAMILY, THAT THING MUST DESTABILIZE YOUR FAMILY. THE MOMENT YOUR FAMILY IS DESTABILIZED, ARE YOU NOT DESTABILIZED?
Look at Bro. Shed today. Is he not destabilized? Is Bro. Nath not destabilized? I am using the ones we read. Is Goddy Tobechukwu not destabilized? What is responsible? The family is not stabilized.
Look at my own uncle, Damian. I paid money to enable people that came from home to bundle him home. What destabilized him? His family is destabilized.
SO, DO NOT CONSOLIDATE ON YOUR WORK, TO THE DESTABILIZATION OF YOUR FAMILY. “Let me consolidate my employment and my stay.” And destabilize my home. No!
Bro. Elijoe! I hope you can hear Me. I hope you can hear Me! Take note! To be too far away from home is not good, more especially when you are being given that privilege to visit your home.
DO NOT RUN AWAY FROM YOUR HOME, FOR NOBODY CAN BE A GOOD SUBSTITUTE TO YOUR PRESENCE IN THE FAMILY. NOBODY CAN BE A GOOD SUBSTITUTE. TAKE NOTE OF IT. AM I MAKING SENSE?
I have to touch on this matter because I know the young must grow.
The moment you lose your conviction of who you are, the family you come from, the God you worship, your ambition in life, you are gone. You lose the conviction, the consciousness of who you are, the family you come from, whose interest you are representing, your ambition in life, who God is to you, you are gone. No more! Definitely, you will be a beast.

OUR REVELATIONS MANIFEST IN OUR CHARACTER
WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION preached on 5th April, 1998 by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN. Page 50 from verse 77.
77Everybody wants to have his way—men and women alike. 78A child that is left to go his own way must surely bring shame and reproach to him or herself. Is it a lie?
LIVE A LIFE WITHOUT CHECK AND END IT IN DISASTER. IS IT A LIE?
Any man who does not have anybody whose words he will respect, and whose views he will respect and fear, will he live a godly life?
You must have somebody you will respect and fear all his words. Otherwise, you are going to end your life in disappointment.
Anybody who does not have someone he fears in this life, does he live a good life? Do you not see that Nebuchadnezzar will be better that that fellow who does not fear God, and does not respect human beings? You are a beast!
“I do not fear God. I do not respect human beings.” You end your life in disappointment. It then means you are going to build a world of your own, where you will not have any interaction with God or with human beings. Create your own world and dwell there alone.
Once you are a human being, your life is under strict check by God or by your fellow human beings. True or false?
That is what killed Aba people completely which made it that every product of Aba is [Enyimba] – Elephant of Aba. A destructive spirit. And the fellow will be living that way thinking that there is in benefit in that type of life.
Page 50 from verse 77. Everybody wants to have his way—men and women alike. A child that is left to go his own way must surely bring shame and reproach to him or herself. Sure!!!
If we are without chastisement, then we are bastards. 80Gossiping is a dangerous sin. A gossiper can never come to you until he or she discovers that you are interested in hearing his or her gossip. Is it a lie?
80The moment he or she discovers that you do not pay attention to gossip,… No more! …he or she will avoid you. Thank you!
That is the secret of repelling such people. Do not give them even a second.
81If I keep on calling people, I will keep on excommunicating people. 82Sister Uzoamaka, you would have done well to retain your house than to be a problem somewhere.
Who will hear these truths revealed openly in the church without hating the revealer? Whose name will be mentioned in this manner in the midst of the Church and the fellow will still be friendly with this person revealing it? Amen!
That is why God does not respect any face, for God sticks to the truth. And he makes the truth public so that everybody will see it.
If tomorrow, you start talking nonsense, continue! We know that which one is truth. There is a saying that, “The witness of one’s wife leads to a lie, but the witness of the community produces the truth.”
Page 52 Nugget. The Bow of Covenant is with us—not the Ark of Covenant.
Since the world began, the Bow of Covenant has always superintended God’s people. So, He remains our General Superintendent… Sure!
WHAT IS OUR GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT? THE BOW OF COVENANT, WHICH IS THE CLOUD; THE RAINBOW; THE HALO!
…and that has been the sign, which the people of God have seen in every age and acknowledged that the Presence of God is amongst them.
When God sees the Bow of Covenant, He will remember all His promises. He does not see Me, He does not see you, He only sees the Bow of His Covenant for we are all wrapped in that Bow. The Son of Man. [DECISION; Preached on 30th December 2007; Pg. 25 vs. 10 – 11]
WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION; Page 54 from verse 5. The Jews accused Christ of blasphemy. To them, He was a mere man but He said He was God.
6To them, He was making Himself God. And Jesus retorted by saying: “Is it not written in your law; is it not written even in the Holy Scriptures that you are gods, as many of you as have received the word of God, you are gods.”
7Psalm 82:6 – 7: “I have said, ye are gods and all of you are children of most the High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.”
8In order words, Jesus was not an impersonator. Was this not the guilt of many of you in the Faith few days ago? “Apostle is trying to make Himself God, but we know Him. He is a human being. We know the God we worship. No man can deceive me.”
Many are still saying it till today. They are saying that He is trying to make himself God. “I know the God I worship. I do not worship man-made God.”
WALK BY PERSONAL REVELATION: 9Everybody must walk by revelation and that was exactly what the people were building up in their hearts. To them, Jesus Christ was a blasphemer. He was not the very God and He was worthy of death.
10Today, anybody claiming to be God must be worthy of death, if he is assessed by the people that carry the Bible. Remember, people that were accusing Jesus of blasphemy were carrying the Bible.
They were carrying the words of the Holy Prophets and of the Law, yet without knowing the contents of what they were carrying. They were with doubt and unbelief.
39You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, 40yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
41″I do not accept praise from men, 42but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
44How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God? [John 5:39 – 44 NIV]
That was their own revelation about Him. You know your own. And your own will only lead you to either obey or disobey.
WHATEVER CHARACTER YOU ARE MANIFESTING IS YOUR REVELATION OF WHAT THE FAITH IS ALL ABOUT.
If you see it as a mere entertainment, you will go the entertainment way. If you see it as political way, you go about arguing and quarrelling with people.
If you see it as a life-transforming Faith that will lead you to eternal life, your life will reflect it.
So, the way you are behaving tells us the revelation you have about the Faith of Christ revealed to you in our day. True or false? Good!
Was it not somebody that saw Him and called Him Christ? Another saw Him and called him spirit. While another saw Him and called Him devil; Beelzebub? Is that not individual revelations?
So the one you are holding will reflect in your character, in your attitude, and in everything you do. Anyone that sees Him as a mere human being, will the person respect Him? One that sees Him as the devil, will the person bow down before Him? Will His Words be effective to such a fellow?
His Word will only be effective in the person that sees Him as God; One that saw Him as God, took Him as God and He worked wonderfully in the person’s life.
Somebody may will even see the supernatural photographs, but will not understand. The more you see, the less you understand.
If you then tell such a fellow to go and take a snapshot of himself at the backyard, he will come back empty handed. You tell the fellow to go and take the photograph of your mother, the person will come back without any supernatural. If you even encourage the person to snap himself, he will still capture nothing. Yet, he will not believe.
An unbeliever is doomed. An unbeliever is doomed. Do you know that the worst is that an unbeliever does not even believe in himself?
If he believes in himself, he will be behaving right. But because he does not believe in himself, he cannot gather himself together. HE WILL BE THINKING ONE THING AND BE DOING ANOTHER. IS IT A LIE BRETHREN?
IF YOU ASK HIM, HE WILL SAY THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM. THOSE ARE THE WORDS OF AN UNBELIEVER. HE DOES NOT EVEN BELIEVE IN HIMSELF AMEN.
11If they had believed what they were carrying, they would not have accused Him of blasphemy. They would have acknowledged that He was the very God, although He puts on human nature. That is exactly what God is.
He is God, although He put on human flesh. It does not remove Him from being God. Since the world began, he has been wearing human nature.
5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [Philippians 2:5 – 8 KJV]
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6WHO, BEING IN VERY NATURE GOD, DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH GOD SOMETHING TO BE GRASPED, 7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death– even death on a cross! [Philippians 2:5 – 8 KJV]
Only those who are with God will know Him to be God. But the enemies of God will be seeing Him as the devil.
19In Romans 3:3, the Bible said it there very clearly that our unbelief can never hinder God from doing that which He has proclaimed from His mouth.
“For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?” [Romans 3:3 KJV]
20My unbelief, My rebellion, My doubt mean nothing to Him. Is it a lie Brethren?
Can my unbelief hinder God from doing His will? He must fulfil that for which He came. Your unbelief is in you, and will only destroy you. A believer believes to the saving of his soul, while an unbeliever disbelieves to his own destruction.
The loser is the one that rejected the food that was given to him. His rejection of that food can never hinder others from eating their own food. The one who rejected the food is the person who lost his own portion of the food.
WILLFUL DISOBEDIENCE IS AN UNPARDONABLE SIN. Sure!
21When you hear the Word of God that says: “Repent and be baptized in the Name of Christ our Lord,” and you shake your head, God is not even mindful of it.
You are bringing more trouble to yourself than good because you are in danger of being called to question for that willful neglect; that willful disobedience. Sure!
Willful neglect! Willful disobedience! And you put yourself in danger of being called to question. You must give Me reasons why you failed to believe.
You must give Me reasons why you failed to manifest that which you believe. You must give Me reasons why you failed to practice it. You must give Me reasons why it is not evidently found in your character. You must Give God your reason.
And then, is there any reasonable excuse before God? Thank you! So prepare your defense whenever you will be called to question.
I will show you that willful disobedience is an unpardonable sin. When the Word of God is proclaimed to you, the Message is being read before you, and you know it is the written Word of God; you know it is truth; with your mouth, you proclaimed it as the truth; Any day you failed to obey it, you did that willfully. Brethren, is it true?
Whatever might be your reason for not obeying it is useless because you have acknowledged it to be the truth and it is read to you from the Message, and yet you failed to put it into practice; in short, you are endangering your life. One day, you must be called to question.
Since we know that the Word of God can never be set aside, no matter the situation, it can never be cancelled, it can never be made of non-effect, our duty is to rally round that Word, make it a point of duty to obey it to the letter.
Our duty is to rally round that Word. Make it a point of duty to do what? Obey it to the letter as God stipulates.
We subject ourselves to that Word… We do not subject the Word to ourselves. The Word will not obey us. We will now obey. Is it not what God is saying?
We subject ourselves to that Word, knowing we can do nothing against the Word of God. Amen!
Every human being is subject to God. But is God subject to any human being? The answer is No! Can a man bring God to judgment? No!
But as long as God liveth, every knee will come before Him in judgment no matter who you are. You must account before God of all your actions here on earth.
[12]So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. [Romans 14:12 KJV]
Page 61 from verse 29. 29For every misbehaviour, every misconduct; just like My mother is in the Fellowship today. I want you to pay attention. You are in the Fellowship today because your cup is full.
And My mother was there. My late mother was there, live. And God said she came to Fellowship that day because her cup was full, and so as to hear the last truth for her.
If you had missed this last call, that would have been the end of your life here on Earth because I will prefer to go without a mother here on Earth than to have one that will cause Me reproach.
I would have closed My eyes and shown you my dangerous side-banish you from the Earth! I will bear your loss. That is why I scribbled it in a few words. I did not give you a kobo for your transport, but I ordered, “Surrender every kobo you have to your husband. It is a command, come empty handed because you may not come back.”
That was My order and she obeyed it to the letter. That was My order, “Surrender every kobo to your husband. Come empty handed because you may not go back.” And she obeyed immediately.
Page 66 verse 45. I want to stir up something in the Bride before I call the preacher to the pulpit who will speak to the Bride and then to the mixed-multitude.
He will speak to the Bride, and at the same time, to the mixed multitude, all at the same time, for the two mingle together in the Fellowship. Is it not prevalent in our midst today? It remained until God sent us to our homes, so that we will know who is who.
Your character will tell the whole world whether you are believing what you are been taught or not. This is because if you believe, your character will reflect it. If you do not believe, your character will reflect it. True or false? Our characters are really reflections of what we believe. Any teaching that does not reflect in your character is a sure sign that you do not believe in your teacher, for you can never go higher than the teaching you receive. – THE SON OF MAN
OUR CHARACTERS ARE REALLY REFLECTIONS OF WHAT WE BELIEVE; Preached on 15th May 2019 at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe;
Chapter 2 verses 17 – 19

WE ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION
Page 70 from verse 57. GOD HAS NO COUNSELOR: Watch the case of Prophet Moses. God inspired Moses to give the laws prohibiting the people of Israel from marrying from strange nations.
The same God inspired Moses to marry from a prohibited area. Can God come to Judgment Throne?
Miriam and Aaron did not know that God was trying to know whether they can follow leadership because the Voice said, “Follow him.”
It did not say, “Judge him.” It didn’t say, “Find fault with him.” The Voice said, “Follow him. He will lead you where you will go. Without him, you are perishing.”
The Voice did not say, “Start raising accusation against Moses.” God (Moses) went and married an Ethiopian woman.
Page 71 from verse 62. By right, Moses should have consulted Aaron and Miriam — his eldest Brother and Sister. Then they will discuss.
But as God, nobody can be God’s counselor. God does not consult any man before taking any action because He is God. He does that which is right in His eyes.
Page 72 from verse 64. GOD CAN DO ALL THINGS: The footsteps of the righteous are directed by the Almighty God. Every action of a man of God is from God.
Will there be evil in the city and God has not done it? If the Lord wants to manifest evil, He will use His Servant. He wants to manifest good, He will use His Servant.
Life and death are also in the hands of the Almighty God. If He wants to kill, He will use His Servant. If He wants to make alive, He will still use His Servant. Do you believe it?
Page 76 from verse 74. EVERY MINISTER IN THIS FAITH IS IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION BECAUSE OF HIS MINISTRY. IF IN ANY WAY YOU HAVE CAUSED THE MINISTRY TO STRAY OR COME TO REPROACH, YOU ARE IN DANGER OF BEING CALLED TO QUESTION.
Watch Saul. Instead of Saul to repent, he added iniquity upon iniquity. To show that he knew what he was doing, he stretched his hands and grabbed the hands of the man of God because right inside him, he was demonstrating against the man of God. He was demonstrating against God, for as long as Samuel lived, He still remained God among the people of Israel. That is truth!
Page 78 from verse 3. If you read your Bible, in the book of Saint Mark 4:12; you will see that willful disobedience is an unpardonable sin. Sure!!!
Mark 4:12. “In other that they may [indeed] look and look but not perceive and may hear and hear but not grasp or comprehend, lest haply they should turn again and it [their willful rejection of the truth] should be forgiven them.” Amp
Page 79 from verse 6. Thus, when the Truth is presented before you and you willfully reject it, you are doomed forever. God will hand you over to the Spirit of Delusion to start believing lies.
Page from verse 15. …If you are a mother in this Faith, please take note. Your misbehaviour can scare God away from your family. Sure!!! If you like believe it. If you like do not believe it.
Page 82 from verse 16. RISE UP TO YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES: All married Sisters should rise up to their responsibilities. We posted grown-up ones to you to give you at least little assistance, but we did not send them to come and replace your work. Your work is still your work; they have theirs.
But when you abandon your own to those Sisters, one day, you will say, “Had I known;” because they will even nurse you and nurse you until you become drone that, even to pick up ordinary broom will be very difficult for you. By that time, they have spoiled you very well.
If you are a married woman, you are in danger of being called to question any time you neglect your duty in the Family. It is applicable to Ministers. When the Lord shall visit your ministry and your performance and you are found wanting, you are in danger of being called to question.
What are you going to tell God? Little children in this Faith, you are in danger of being called to question if you do not obey your parents in the Lord. Maidservants, you are in danger of being called to question if you do not do your work as unto the Lord. If you are doing it with lip service, you are in danger of being called to question.
For every hypocritical life you have manifested, you are in danger of being called to question. For every gossip you have been spreading, you are in danger of being called to question.
For every lawless action, when the Lord shall rise in Judgment against you, you will be called to question. You will be called to question for your willful disobedience to the Word of the Lord.
22Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
25Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. [Colossians 3:22 – 25 NIV]
When you are called, what will be your reply? This is our Sunday Message; call it Sunday school Message. This is the way I have been led to speak to the Church.
EXAMINE YOURSELF IN LIGHT OF THE TRUTH: I am in danger of being called to question; you are in danger of being called to question. Why not examine yourself in the light of the Truth you have received? Find out the various ways you have rebelled against this Faith thinking that the Word of God can be set aside.
Thinking that the Word of God can be made of non-effect! But now, you have seen that it is impossible. You cannot succeed. Death is hanging on your neck; death is hanging on My neck for My life is now in danger.
What shall I tell God when I shall be called to question to account for My stewardship? You are now in danger of being called to question. God bless you my Brethren.
I am in danger of being called to question; you are in danger of being called to question. Why not prepare your excuse, prepare your reason, and get ready because it is around the corner. I am in danger of being called to question for my willful misconduct, my misbehaviour in the Faith, my disloyalty to His Instructions!
I am in danger of being called to question. Prepare your case. If there is any way the Holy Spirit has touched you from the time you saw yourself in this Faith to this very moment, check yourself very well. I am in danger of being called to question.
If I know that I am in danger of being called to question, I will conduct myself very orderly in the fear of the Lord. Than to say, “Look at what I have done to myself; see what I have done to myself because of my rebellion; my recklessness, my rash behaviour, rash and very sharp utterance like Miriam and Aaron.”
Examine yourself – man and woman. Do not say, “Thank God I am free.” You are not free unless God sets you free. I am in danger of being called to question. You are in danger of being called to question. On this note, I say Remain Blessed in Him eternally.
I hope we followed this Message strictly. Can you see the reason why that Message appeared in the former one we read? “THE DAY OF SOBER REFLECTION IN THE BRIDE OF CHRIST” where we saw that same Message.
Without going through it, I brought out that Message and this one I am holding here, posted it worldwide for consideration today.
I thank God for everything. We are gladly enriched. I say, gladly enriched. We are not sorrowfully enriched. What I heard today, truly speaking, it is very much thrilling. We cannot conclude without first of all joining others. We will not join them to the end. We will read from chapters 1, 2, 3 only.

THE JUDGMENT OF GOD IS ON
I AM YOUR MERCY SEAT; preached on 12th June, 2011. So, start from the very beginning. Let us know the contents also because chapter 4 was handled by Apostle Kelechi Uwakwe.
Page 3 Nuggets: “Any moment from now, I am going back to my Father from where I came. Amen. I have been with Him from the very beginning. you were with Him from the very beginning also.
You try to enquire where the Father is. You have seen the Father. Yes sir! You have known Him, even henceforth. Believe it if you can” [LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS VOL. 2; PP. 6]
Page 5 Nuggets: Whether you like it or not, He that is in your midst, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena is the promised Spirit of Truth that will come and lead you to the knowledge of all truths. Amen!
12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13Howbeit 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 16:12 – 13 KJV]
He is that same Spirit the world cannot receive because they cannot see Him but you see Him.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; 17even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [John 14:16 – 17 KJV]
You know Him, for He is abiding with you. He is dwelling with you. You have no excuse to give. – Son of Man. [THE COMFORTER; Pg 95-96 verse 81-82]
Page 7 Nuggets: I have told you that William Branham was not the Angel, Moses was not the Angel, saint John was not the Angel but the Angel was following Moses. The same Angel was following William Branham. The same Angel was in the world even at the same time John the Baptist was in the world.
The same Angel was in the world before Moses was in the world. Even before Abraham, the Angel was in world. The same Angel was in the world before Creation.
10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [John 1:10 KJV]
[16]Christ himself is the Creator who made everything in heaven and earth, the things we can see and the things we can’t; the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers and authorities; all were made by Christ for his own use and glory. [Colossians 1:16 LB]
Moreover, we are in the Ministry of the Angel not because we merited it but it is because of His mercy.
He blinded people’s eyes that they would not see it, but He gave us mercy opening our eyes that we will see this Truth. Son of Man. Blinding some and opening the eyes of some. [HAVING THIS MINISTRY WE FAINT NOT. PP 21 vs. 19-20 & PP 25 vs. 36]
39Then Jesus said, I came into this world for judgment [as a Separator, in order that there may be separation between those who believe on Me and those who reject Me], to make the sightless see and to make those who see become blind. [John 9:39 AMP]
[39]Then Jesus told him, “I have come into the world to give sight to those who are spiritually blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.” [John 9:39 LB]
Page 11 verse 1. THE JUDGMENT OF GOD IS ON: To God be the glory for everything He has been doing for us. Even if the entire world belongs to us, it is not even enough to give back in return for His goodness and mercy to us. The Lord has been good to us all these years. He has saved us from His wrath and from the wrath of men.
He has also saved us from His judgment which is already on. The judgment of God is on. The judgment of God is on as well as His salvation. Brethren, we really thank God for He has counted us worthy, putting us into His Holy Family where we now stand to have the boldness to call Him ABBA FATHER.
I believe He will never, never cast us away. He will not welcome us today and throw us away tomorrow.
As long as we continue to do His Will, He will abide with us still!
Page 13 from verse 6. I have been reading books but I have never read of the gods of other nations and what they have proclaimed to their people.
Only the God of Israel has spoken and He is still speaking and will continue to speak, foretelling events that will come, and they must surely come; Warning His people about future occurrences and those things will come to pass. Pure truth!
Verse 8. I know most of you are connected to the world events. Remember I told you that everything that will be happening now will be fulfilling prophecies, for we are called for the fulfilment of prophecies whether they be good or bad, but our prayer has always been that God will never use us to fulfil any bad prophecy.
Page 15 verse 10. …If He does not give us His Word this day, definitely, if no other person will feel bad, I will feel bad.
PROBLEM IS A PART OF LIFE, SO APPROACH IT WITH POSITIVE MIND.
Page 17 from verse 1. I believed there is a provision God has made for 12th June 2011, which He never made for 11th June, 2011; for 12th June, 2011 is another day altogether. Sure!!!
I am saying that this day is another day altogether. Thus, do not wear gloomy faces. I do not know what might be your troubles, they are common among all men. Whatever you think is your trouble, if you can pause a little, you will notice it is not your problem.
You have not noticed your problem because if that one is solved you will still discover that there are still other problems. That is pure truth!
Page 19 from verse 7. Please take note of what I am saying. I want you to glorify God in your estate for your own problem is not worse, it is not also the worst!
Rather you are making it worse. Why are you complaining? If you are complaining, I say, “Stop complaining!” Amen!
First of all acknowledge your problems, do not deny them, for they are there, acknowledge them! If you deny them you deny that you are not existing;… Yes sir!!! …In short, that you are not a human being.
When you are praying for long life and prosperity, you are equally praying for troubles for there is no way you can live long life without troubles. Pure truth! Nobody can live long without trouble… Pure truth! …and the troubles are not one, they are not two; it differs from one to another, according to individuals. Yes sir!!
The same way also, needs vary from family to family, from individual to individual, from society to society, from country to country. Needs vary. So also, problems vary. Are you praying for long life? You are indirectly praying for troubles.
Stop complaining, for complaining will weary you down, complaining will make you lose confidence in yourself and equally make people that look up to you lose confidence in you. Complaining means you lack the courage to accept or acknowledge your problem. That is truth!!!
Page 22 verse 18. Yes! People avoid those that complain too much, and the more you complain the more your problem is compounded because complaining becomes another spirit that will be fighting you, even in your bed, you will be talking on the street as you walk.
God did not say you should go about complaining, no, you simply carry everything to God in prayers. Take everything to God in prayers. You pray and you do not receive the answer, it is because you do not pray rightly or you are asking so that you may consume it alone, or you want to boast, you want to show that you have arrived. No!
When God speaks, take Him at His Word. God says that you should be careful at nothing for through prayers and supplications, let all your needs be made known to God, God hears and answers prayer.
Page 24 from verse 24. You see, I try to watch certain things at times. Have you examined St. Paul, in all his troubles, he remained encouraging the brethren?
Even when Paul became a prisoner and a poor servant, he was a prisoner encouraging those that were not in the prison. Did you get the message? He was in the prison feeling better than those that were not in the prison.
Are you troubled and perplexed? Simply sing a song, continue with that song ceaselessly, even if Satan will ask you to stop singing, saying, “Why are you happy? Why should you be singing?”
Resist that voice and continue singing and praising God. Amen!! I bet you, in less than ten minutes, you will be a different person altogether. Amen. Is it true? It is better experienced than imagined. Good!
You will see the sweet gentile breeze of the Holy Spirit filtrating into your heart, bringing about comfort and consolation. Then your eyes will open to see that you are not alone for God is with you. Amen!
…When you remember songs that are edifying, songs that can minister grace not only to your heart but even to the hearer, song that can dismiss the cloud…
Songs that can dismiss the Cloud! You see, we started by teaching songs. We are ending by teaching songs.
…before you know it, you will be waving your hands towards the sky.
Yes! You are not alone. Whatever you are passing through is what you should pass through. They are stages of development. They are hurdles you have to jump if you must get to the end. They are meant for you and for you alone.
Thus, at every stage of life, there are experiences to pass through. As a result, convert your troubles to experiences. … Amen!
Do what? CONVERT YOUR TROUBLES TO EXPERIENCES. This is because we are living in a world and the world is a teacher. It teaches us in diverse ways.
It can be in a bitter way. It can be in a sweet way. It can be through troubles. It can be through happiness. But in all, there are lessons to learn. This world is a classroom.
As a result, convert your troubles to experiences. And experience is better than knowledge. experience is more rewarding than knowledge. knowledge without experience is useless.
Convert that trouble; that trial which will make you go about complaining, which can deny you the joy of your salvation. If you are not intelligent, if you are not wise, complaining can deny you the joy of your salvation. That is Pure truth! Before you know it, you will make everybody around you victims of your mood.
Complaining and murmuring! They are great crimes before the Lord. Remember what happened in the wilderness. They went about complaining and murmuring, for which cause God destroyed all of them who murmured and complained from 19 years and above.
So, let us try to avoid the sin of complaining and murmuring when we should be praying, singing praises and looking up to God.
Before you know it, you will make everybody around you victims of your mood. Pure truth!
Everybody will become victims of your mood. That is, your mood will affect everybody. People that are not even responsible for your condition will be suffering because of your attitude and disposition. And it is a crime against humanity.
By then you have become a canker. If you are happy, sing songs. If you are troubled, pray. If you are distressed, force songs to come into your mouth and glorify the name of the Lord more especially now we are waiting at the gate. Let nothing upset you. Let nothing offend you for the journey is almost over. Amen!!
WARNING SIGNS
Page 30 from verse 46. WHAT IS HAPPENING? GOD IS DEMONSTRATING SOMETHING, GOD IS TESTING SOMETHING TO KNOW IF WHAT IS ABOUT TO COME IS STRONG ENOUGH TO RAVAGE THE WHOLE EARTH USING AMERICA AS AN EXAMPLE. REMEMBER IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE IN THE SAME AMERICA. IT WAS A WARNING SIGN. THESE THINGS ARE WHAT? WARNING SIGNS!
Page 35 verse 59. …God said that if we do His Will by obeying Him, that He will never permit any of the diseases and pestilences He used to visit Egypt to ever come near our dwelling places.
This is our inheritance in the Lord. We suffer in our own way, but not in the way of the world. What kills them out there can only scratch us. Amen.
It is hard to believe, bit it is pure truth. This is God’s programme which no human being can change. You see, this generation has been judged and set aside. I am not striving to save anybody from the world. No! I am only striving to make sure that those that are already in the Ark are completely secured. That is My duty for now. It is not putting somebody in the Ark that matters; It is guaranteeing the security of the person till the end of the journey. It is not boarding the aeroplane that counts. It is landing safely at the approved destination. I told you that I am greater than the pilot in the aeroplane. The lives of millions of people worldwide are entrusted into My care. I do not say it so that you will begin to clap hands for Me.

THIS FAITH IS YOUR SECURITY
Page 39 verse 5. …Outside this Faith we have no security elsewhere. That is why when the heathen want to deal with you; they will first of all ask you to come out of this Faith or cause you to commit a crime that will make us to excommunicate you. Then you have lost your protection and they will destroy you immediately.
Page 43 verse 14. …Any day you esteem your work more than this Faith, you will pay the price. You must surely pay the price.
Page 48 verse 25. …Anybody God wants to save He will save to the utmost.
Page 50 from verse 32. The Devil knows when you are upholding this Faith; the Devil knows when you have strayed away. Note what I am saying. William Branham told us as a Prophet that the Devil monitors us more than God. God is freer with us, but the Devil is not free with us.
He follows us about, watching for one single mistake and he will strike. He will never give you a second chance for he knows that if he does not strike, you will repent again and embrace Christ. Sure!!! Is it not still on?
For that reason, he [devil] will never grant you that time. There is no mercy with the Devil as far as a child of God is concerned. That is true!
Page 54 verse 42. …Make this Faith your home because why we are in Christ, those things are far from us. They cannot operate around us and our families.
Watch Brother Ben Mbah, the fight is still on but they can never get him. That is why the elder brother called him face to face saying, “Any day this Mbaise man that is upholding you dies, we will teach you a lesson of your life!” [Talking to Chiemelie] Your father was on the run since 2011! They now took him in 2020.
His mother also testified it saying, “If you want me to be your mother, you must come out of that occult group. Leave that Mbaise man and his group. Then, I will be a mother to you.”
Our Brother said, “Okay, no problem! So I should come out of my hiding place so that you will be my mother! Thank you very much! It is a good advice.” That was when he was Bro Ben. All those that left are dead, but he remained.
In the house of Brother Shadrach, it is a burning issue now. His mother has run away because it is a condition their millionaire sister is giving, together with the heathen because they have seen too many troubles.
They do not want to die but they want Brother Shadrach to die and Brother Shadrach does not want to die.
Have you seen what was happening in 2011? But Bro Shed has accepted to die now.
Anybody that is persuading you to leave this Faith has already prepared your grave without your knowledge. Pure truth!
Without this Faith, which we have exercised in Christ, our bones would have gotten rotten in our graves long, long time ago. There is no lie there!
Where we did not die, we would have become the most useless persons on earth.
We would not have family that will be called our own. We will never present anything to the world as what God has blessed us with, for nobody is wishing us good except God. Amen!
No other person is on our side, you have no brother except in Christ. You have no sister except in Christ, you have no father, you have no mother, you have no friend,you have no neighbour, you have no son, you have no daughter, you have no wife, AND YOU have no husband except in Christ. Are we paying attention?
Publish it wide, say it aloud, and say it at the mountain top that the Son of Man has made it as a proclamation. A trial will convince you.
Go and build your Faith and confidence around that person who is not in this Faith with you, if you do not come out with tears, know that I am not from God. That was what killed brother Ben. Is there anything else?
Last week Wednesday after the fellowship, we were driving down home when my wife called my attention saying, “Daddy, Sister Ben called me and alerted me that her husband travelled for three weeks now and lost connection with everybody and nobody could tell where he was. All efforts to get him over the phone proved abortive.” He now repeated it and died!
Page 65 from verse 74. However, there must be a solution. For every problem, there is a solution. This problem must be solved, but it must be, first of all, acknowledged. Let nobody ever deny his problem.
If you want your problem to be solved, first of all, acknowledge it. Recognize and acknowledge that problem. Do not deny it. Do not give the impression that it does not exist or that it does not concern you.
There is no smartness in it because you do not know who will be the next victim. Once you acknowledge it, solution is in sight.
To you that are in this Faith, every minute, even if you do not have food, and you do not have money, rejoice for something more than food; something more than money is in your possession. Yes sir!! Eternal life is higher than all those things. Amen!
It is the person that is alive that has money. It is the person that is alive that eats food, for it is life first.
Page 67 from verse 80. To God be the Glory. I love a Brother who came to Me and said, “Even if there is no other heaven; even if there is no other eternity; even if this Faith does not offer me any other thing, the protection I am getting from this Faith is enough consolation for me to abide in this Faith”
When it seems that it is all over, God will come. We will be asking ourselves questions.
PROPHECY FULFILLED
If they ask us to pack out from our fellowship ground that everybody should go to their house, your husband will now become your Pastor, the person that has not been able to hold family altar in his house, is it now in the Church that the person will run? What kind of message will he preach? Please mark this portion!
The message that was preached in the fellowship and he echoed “amen,” if he preach it in his family, will his wife not fight him? Will not the wife slap him or angrily walk out saying that she does not know what he is saying?
Because I know that this Message we are hearing and everybody is raising up his or her hand, and some are even recording with their handsets saying, “It is true, it is true.” It is true because it is said in the fellowship. If your husband preaches it in the house, you will not record it.
You cannot even say amen, instead you will angrily go and lie down on the bed. Besides, if you do not know what else to do, you will say that your stomach has been disturbing you since last night. Is this how we will go back to our families? May God forbid! Amen.
To God be the glory. We started very well, and we ended very well for ended with striking testimonies that will confirm that we are really serving a living God who hears and answers prayers, and who knows everything we are passing through!
And He has consoled us so much, giving us the Word of eternal life that will change our character for the better, giving us striking testimonies of things that happened among us which we are witnesses, discouraging us from complaining and murmuring and carrying our conditions on our faces; and that whatever might be our troubles, we should not be complaining.
We should carry our troubles to Christ. He is greater than all we are passing through. If He does not help, who will help?
Look at the concluding side! It reminded us of what happened before, telling us the dangers inherent in putting our trust and confidence in human beings, instead of God.
More so, people that do not know God and they do not believe in God, which is where we get our greatest disappointment in life.
I believe we learnt great lessons today. Today is a blessing to Me. And I believe it is a blessing to all of us. And will be a blessing to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God has adopted into His family.
Shall we rise up and pray.
PRAYER
O
ur Heavenly Father, here we are, thanking and appreciating You for the wonderful move You made in our lives, Father, even today. There is no day, O God, You do not touch our loves positively.
Today, we have received a spectacular touch of love. The impact, O God, Your Word has made in our lives, Father, we pray that all that will be privileged to listen to these Messages we heard today will receive the same positive impact of the Word.
Father Divine, help us to live right before You and before one another, that Your name be not reproached among the Gentiles; the heathens that are living round about us.
Help us, O God, that as we have heard and received, we should have the courage and the joy to put all we have heard into practice, so that the entire people living round about us will, through our lives, praise and honour Your Name.
Do not allow the devil to operate against us by erasing, O God, this glorious and wonderful teaching we received today. Engraft them on the table of our hearts. May they continue, O God, to bubble in us.
Let all our meditations, O God, revolve around all we have received from You so far. Take away, O God, the spirit of forgetfulness in us. Let the Holy Spirit be a constant reminder of all these truths in us so that we will not err.
We make this solemn request, not only on our behalf here, but on the behalf of every Elect of God scattered globally. Father, we are looking forward to seeing a day when You will finish the work in righteousness, and then cloth your children, O God, with the promised immortal bodies.
Then permit us to meet with each other in the air, identify and embrace one another, never to path again.
Until then, help us to remain praying. Help us to remain studying. Help us to remain watching. Help us Father, to remain, O God, waiting for the promise of the hour, knowing that it will never fail us.
Father we bow to Your reverence and say, “Take all the glory. Take all the honour. Take all the praise, worship, adoration and all the Thanksgiving.
The rest of our activities today, we hand over to Your care, take control. As we go about the rest of the activities, direct us.
Do not allow us, O God, to begin to talk like fools. Help us, O God, that what we have heard today, Father will be a standard, a guide before our behaviours from now henceforth.
Thank You for hearing our prayers. Thank You for putting us in remembrance of the things we have forgotten.
Blessed be to Your Most Holy Name through Christ our Lord we pray. Amen!!!
