THE DESTROYER OF THE YOUTH

THE DESTROYER OF THE YOUTH PREACHED ON 31^ST AUGUST, 2022 AT THE BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN

THE LAMINATED BEING

TRUTH HAS NO SUBSTITUTE

Anybody that is a believer has something that sustained him in Christ. If you are a believer, if you claim you are a child of God, there is an experience you must pass through, there is something you have experienced that made you to conclude that you are indeed a child of God, that you are a seed of God, that you are not a stranger, that you are not a foreigner; that you are not a bastard.

THE SON OF MAN

SUSTAINED BY MY EXPERIENCE PART ONE PREACHED ON 30^th April, 2002 PG. 50:14.

WHEN YOU COME TO GOD, THERE MUST BE A DEFINITE EXPERIENCE

I did not know that you will be going back today. But I have spoken to all of you. I have preserved messages that will keep you in the Faith and even in the hereafter.

If anybody is growing tired of serving the Lord, I wonder whether he will be strong in serving the devil. You should ask yourself, “How old are you?
If you know your age. You ask yourself another question, “How many years have I served God using my age, using my life? Have I ever served God for at least one month?
Check your age; find out whether you have sincerely served God for one month. I mean serving God for one month without rebuke, without indictment.
The bible said we should be children of God without rebuke, without indictment in this crooked and perverse generation where we live in.
Have you ever served God for one month in comparison to your age? From what time do you think you entered into Christ or Christ entered into your life? At what age?
Because you can be one million years and in your one million years you have not entered into Christ for one day. You see, feeling is not reality. Perception is not reality. Going to church gives you the feeling that you are serving God. There are people that are dying in churches without serving God. They are serving the church. You can serve the church; die in the affairs of the church without knowing God for one day.
Just like in this family, you can stay in this family, do everything in this family without possessing the spirit of this family. All you do in this family is merely domestic works which is common to all men, but the spirit that controls this family is not found in you because you never yielded to it. You only yielded to carnal things from where you are expecting your reward. If you yield yourself to spiritual things, then you must get a spiritual reward. You yield yourself over to carnal things, you get a carnal reward.
People serve their masters carnally because they are expecting carnal reward from their masters. That is while they are serving their masters, they are at the same time stealing from their masters. Is it not true? Good.
But to God, when you come into God or God comes into your life, He leaves a definite experience. A definite experience. Everything about you will be controlled by the spirit of truth, the spirit of Christ. And from that time you come to that point, you do not need anybody to begin to point you, this is wrong or this is right. There is something that is already in you checkmating you. You can only err when you ignore the voice of that spirit.
Even if you err, you know you have erred. Before somebody will point it out to you, you have already arrested yourself. You have already started querying yourself, blaming yourself before somebody will point it out to you.
But if you only recognize your problems when people speak to you about it, you have not come into Christ yet. That goes to show everything is good in your eyes. A sure sign you do not have the spirit of truth.
Once you do not have the spirit of truth, everything will be good in your own eyes. You see nothing wrong. But when you have the spirit of Christ, everything you will do will be sieved by that spirit. You can only do that which He approves.
But whatever He does not approve, once you do it, you have wounded your conscience and you will be restive. You can hardly sleep until you make sure that God has declared you free from it. That is how you know a seed of God.
I cannot allow you to go without reading a portion of the scriptures. If you have the message bible, bring it for clearer understanding. There is no way I can talk to you without having a standpoint.
Where I can lay hold and speak to you even if it is one or two; because I am the Word made manifest. I do nothing but the Word.
There is a way you can talk to somebody it will look as if you are abusing the person. But if you go through the scriptures and allow the Word of God documented before the person was born, allow that word to speak to him, if he is wise, he will be sober. He must talk to himself. Knowing fully well that the bible is senior to him and even his parents. This is where you can get something that can help you do God a service.
The bible came to introduce you to Christ. So that your teacher that is guiding you to Christ should not be set aside completely. From time to time, you go back there.
You will see things recorded there which are fulfilling today. And that we are equally using to talk to you even today. This will help you to know whether you are a part of what is happening or not.
You have need of patience. For when your obedience is fulfilled, not half way. When your obedience to the truth revealed to you is fulfilled, you will get the promise. Get me 2^nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 1 only.
Look at Roman Catholics that started their church in AD 70, up till today, they are not tired of going to church. People are still surging there. And yet what they are holding is monotonous teaching. I said monotonous teaching. Is it not the same chaplet?
Any other thing? Their rituals and traditions are permanent. It is always a permanent way. And every tom, dick and harry knows how to recite it. What they do in the bible is random picking. With their little pamphlet called missal, you see them reciting Epistle according to St. John, so, so and so. That’s all.
Even that their Sunday missal, it is nothing but written prayer. The same ritual. Watch this block rosary; all they know is to recite their prayer, embark on different competition and go on carols. That’s all.
Look at all their traditions, they started observing them from AD 70 till now, they are not tired. Kings and rulers of this world are all there. Look at CMS, AD70, they are not tired.
Check all these churches, check the time you started. You took off 1993. You took off barely 1993. Because God said that a quick work He has come to do which He will perfect and cut it off in righteousness. Make sure that the last shall be the first. And we are running last and we are coming first.
The Bride of Christ Ministry is the last movement on earth away from all. And since it started, there has never been any other movement. All you have been seeing are not movements, that somebody broke away from Catholic and went to Deeper Life, it is still the same thing.
You leave Deeper Life and enter Assemblies; you are still holding the same thing. Even if you start your own movement and call it heaven and earth, it is still the same thing you got from that place that you will be using to establish your own.
It is expansion. They are expanding their wings. But it is not so with this Faith. This one is unique throughout the whole world. It does not expand at all. It stands alone. Hence, no minister is being transferred from this branch to another. Nobody goes on retirement. No. It is fixed. Absolutely unique.
The problem you are having is that you do not look at the setup of the Faith. You do not know where you are standing. It is like movie. If God does anything strange, you will be carried by euphoria, before you know it, you have forgotten everything. Behaving like drunkards. That is why what we have in our midst is complete euphoria.
The type of people we have here cannot even worship God in the Roman Catholic. You cannot. When you go to Roman Catholic, some people might be on their way to church on Sunday, they see others coming back, they will turn back and that’s the end of their worship for that day. The next place you will see him is on the pitch playing ball or in the bear pallor. The whole activities are fixed on Sundays.
The whole meetings are fixed on Sundays plus the ones held in the church. All those traditional ways of worshipping God are over. They are manmade ways. They have nothing to do with the life that Christ gives. God is worshipped as individual. So you must have your own pure revelation of who God is and what He expects from you. The right way of worshipping God.
If not, you are just a churchgoer. They are the only people that filled the Bridal Faith. Churchgoers. Some are those who are following their parents. They do not know exactly what their parents had in mind before going to that church.
We heard something. We heard the gospel of our foundation and we believed. That is what attracted us to it. But a good number of people in our midst never heard anything. They do not know what is called gospel of their salvation. What they know is parents telling them to prepare for church.
They continue going to church until old age. They never ponder one day to ascertain their purpose of going to that place and why they are going there. Is there truth there? Rather they are going there as a tradition. “We are Bride of Christ of Ministry members. Have you not heard of it?” As if knowing about it offers salvation or being a member gives you eternal life. Many will perish there. Many have even perished already. Because they will be there and it will be sounding them like film.
Read that place: 2 Timothy 3:1 Don’t be naïve. Do not be childish. Naïve means childish. Do not be ignorant. Do not behave as people that are not intelligent, unwise. Don’t be naïve. There are difficult times ahead. There are what? Difficult times ahead. Let nobody ever deceive you into believing that the world is getting any better. When I say the world, I mean human beings living here.
What we are seeing today is animated human beings. You know what animation is all about. Is animation real? You cannot get a real human being again. If there be, they are now handpicked. We have handpicked human beings. That is why the bible said that the rest of the people around us are under the power and control of Satan.
Satan the god of this evil age according to the scriptures has blinded their hearts, their minds; their eyes that they can no longer embrace this truth. They go to church. Yes. They listen to the messages, yes. But they do not put into practice anything they are taught. Of what use is that?
So those people have become passive listeners of the truth deceiving themselves. But we never learnt that from God. Know it very well all the words you heard from God must stand in judgment against you if you do not put them into practice. You are likened to those people that went to the prophets of old to mock them, to laugh at them saying, “Let us go and know what He will tell us today. He will always have story to tell us.” By then, the Word has become common to you.
You can treat the Word of God the way you want, not knowing that God is His Word. A man is nothing but his word. All that we have been hearing, if we do not pay heed to them, they must testify against us here on earth and even in the hereafter. When your disobedience puts you into trouble, it is the same disobedience that will testify against you of your negligence to the truth. Is it not true?
There is no way your fragrant disrespect, disobedience to the Word of God you are hearing will never testify against you here on earth presently and also in the hereafter. That is why the bible warns strictly that the moment you neglect the Word of God, you must land yourself into a position you will regret. You must land yourself in a trouble that you cannot even solve; then you will remember the words you heard and put aside.
That is why a wise person pays heed to every word that proceeds out of the lips of Christ according to the scriptures. That man shall not live by bread alone but by every word taken to heart, banked in your heart like we heard it yesterday. By every Word that proceeds out of the lips of Christ.
What is killing us is when our hearts are set to disbelieving God, it is so hardened in us that we cannot even reverse it. That is the evil of this age. The hearts of men are continually set to doing evil, until they have reached irreversible level. The moment you reach that irreversible level, your duty is to wait for the day you will die.
There is no other thing. Don’t be naïve. Do not be childish. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, as the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed. Extremely selfish. Self-minded people. …money hungry. They will be what? Money hungry. Self-promoting… pompous. Stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending… what? Dog eating her fellow dog.
Pause a little, go back again. As the end approaches, brethren, what are we seeing now? That is why the bible calls it the more sure word of prophecy which can never fail. The unfailing sign given to us is the Word. Hence, He said, “My Word have I lifted up among My people for it is My power, my presence among my people. This is what I will lift up among you and there shall be a separation between the camp of My people and the camp of the ungodly.”
Prophecy we received from the Almighty confirming this ministry in 1993. Go back to the preface in the Great Sermon, you will see the year, the month and even the day it happened. At times, you go back to the beginning to reexamine your standpoint again to avoid straying away without you knowing.
That is why the bible said, “Let he that thinketh he standeth, be very careful less at any time, he will fall. You can fall ignorantly. You can stray away from this Faith without observing it. Without noticing it. So you will be moving. If God does not call you back, you will land in hell.
Just like this our brother FearGod was testifying not knowing I was at the upstairs hearing his voice. After listening to one message here, he went outside and was thanking God. “We were at Ngwa thinking we are worshipping God, thinking we are getting saved not knowing we have not even started.”
Can you imagine a place where he was regarded as the best. What would become of those following him? Look at their best here. If this is the best, then begin to think of the rest. Are you surprised? Don’t you know what we have been hearing about Chikezie Ukasoanya the Bishop? What can you say about Geoffery who attempted suicide? What about Nath? What can you say about John? Where do we start?
So, I will not be surprised that he is the best because it was still in him that we could see a little light. It is true he never put it into action but most times he sees himself been condemned by what he preached. At least he was understanding it a little. But his father is still after getting his share of human meat and still claim to be in the Faith.
He equally documented it and sent it that from now, I will no longer go to where they are killing people. None of his family members knows that their father goes to such places. Are you sure you were not eating human meat? This is true because it is their tradition. It is a community spirit. This is what they are trained with. I am just trying to mention a little out of the lot. Is that person not a beast? Dog is now eating dog.
In many ways, dog eats dog. All of you were here last Saturday when I was calling a whole Apostle dupe. He has equally duped me. He equally knows that he duped Me. I equally foundd out. But he was accusing another person. He was accusing Brother Stephen of something he is guilty of. This is to tell you that one that kills does not allow one to cross his back with machete. But to one who is innocent, crossing his back with a machete does not disturb him.
What is more, dog will now eat dog. Start afresh again. Do not be childish. Do not be senseless. Do not be without vision. Do not set it aside. If these things do not happen in our day, how can these prophetic words be fulfilled? Warning ahead of time given to Timothy a young man when he was coming up in his youth. Look at what you will see and now that the world is running towards the end. And these things never happened in the days of our fathers.
The evils we are experiencing today, My father never witnessed any. Did he know what is kidnapping? Did he hear even about it? Did my dad know what is called Boko-haram suicide bombing? My mother never even saw it? She never knew that things like that could ever happen. That somebody can abduct his fellow human being, keep him somewhere and be demanding ransom. My dad never knew that a human being could be cut into pieces and be selling it as parts. He never heard such a thing.
If such a thing should be mentioned then to them, they would tell you to reverse your statement. The greatest atrocity ever. My dad never saw the mad rush for money. In their days, there was money but then money was worked for.
But today, money is being carried. Is it not now we can see a young man staying indoors with his generator on and you see money flowing everywhere? Yet no tangible thing doing. He doesn’t go to bank, you just see him pressing his phone and laptop. Before you know it, money everywhere. Dog eating his fellow dog. Tiger eating another tiger. Initially tiger does not eat another tiger but it is not so now. Is it a lie?
People now eat their children and suck their blood. It was said that tiger does not eat another tiger but today tiger eats everything. It was said that dog does not eat another dog, but today, dog eats another dog. And God saw the fulfillment ahead of time. So anybody fulfilling that prophecy should know that you are not in God’s program for salvation.
That is why we always pray that God will uphold us that we may not fulfill any dangerous prophecy, predicted signs of the end time. Go and search for the message, we have it in book form, volumes 1 and 2. These are the signs that God instructed us to paste on every corner as we travel along. See what you must watch out for.
I am telling you about the message I handled here yesterday. Did you not see what David told God, that he will paste this message in all the signboards leading to where he is going, so that whenever he sees it, he will stop. Because every sign from God is a stop sign. Watch, all the signs we are reading out here are stop signs. It is good we evaluate ourselves with these things so that we will not fall prey on it without knowing. For we might be the people the scripture is referring to, we might be fulfilling them without knowing.
These are warnings that God gave us ahead of time. Be very careful. Start from verse 1. Don’t be naïve. There are difficult times ahead. There are difficult times ahead. Not pleasurable times ahead. That is why the bible said, those that want to live in pleasure can never please God. Chiamaka take note. Are you hearing Me? The same way you started is the way you will end it. Our people said that what you introduce a shrine to is what the shrine will always request for.
If you offer her fowl, it will always demand fowl. If you offer her cow at first, it will demand cow from you. One that has not owned a car before should not start with an expensive one. For nobody knows tomorrow. Are you getting what I am saying? I remember when I purchased 504, my collogues in the office started questioning me, that I should have buy Mercedes, I said no. the next time I will change my car, I can now bought Mercedes. If I start from the top, what then will I do? I will start from scratch and then climb up.
I am using motor to give you instance. If I should start from the top, how will I end it? It is better I start from scratch and then climb up then to fall from the top to the ground. Are you getting what I am saying? It is better I go through the runs of the ladder as I climb than to jump to the highest peak of the ladder and use that place to make my starting point. If I eventually lose grip, I am getting myself on the ground. I must crash-land.
There is no way I can go back through the runs of the ladder because I have not learned to go that way. That is why every true seed of God is enjoined to endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ. Do not see this world as a pleasurable place. A pleasurable ride. If you want to live in pleasure, you will never please God. That is why every true seed of God is always sober, always conscious. And at any time, things begin to happen on his way, he does not act rashly. He will try to comprehend it very well. Know where it is coming from and where it is leading him to.
Even money, when money comes into your hand, you do not need to spend it anyhow or behave rashly. Find out the source of that money and why it is permitted to come in to your hands. Maybe there is a purpose in the future, but if you are not wise, you may abuse the privilege today, the problem for which cause it is sent may come tomorrow and you will be running helter skelter.
That is why a true seed of God does not spend anyhow. He is a thrift manager. Every true seed of God is a thrift manager. If you do not know the meaning of thrift, go and look for it in your dictionary. He knows how to manage his resources, knowing that the journey through life is not a short one. Two, no condition is permanent. As long as we are here, life turns a man up and down. Life turns a woman up and down. Life is not the way we imagine it.
He that is on top today may be on the ground tomorrow. He that is on the ground today may be on top tomorrow. A wise man is the only person that will settle to this truth and then use all he heard from God to live his life.
Placing all those signposts as he journeys through life because by and by he must meet all. Any one you meet on the way, you stop. Because signs from God is a stop-sign. That is why I love to engrave everything that proceeds out of My mouth. I love to have witnesses. Because people easily deny what they are told unless it is recorded or spoken to them amidst witnesses. To deny it is very easy. He will even swear that he did not hear it. In short, that he was not there when the voice went forth.

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, ‘^[1]Prayers will be neglected, ^[2] Carnal desires will be pursued; ^[3] Transgressors will become leaders. ^[4]It will not be possible to distinguish the faithful from the false; ^[7]The believer will be deemed the most disgraceful and he will be pained at seeing evils all around and his heart will melt as salt in water but he will not be able to say anything.

THE SON OF MAN

PREDICTED END TIME DEVELOPMENTS & The attitude of PEOPLE VOL. 2 PREACHED ON SUNDAY, 15^TH AUGUST 2021 PG 74:38 & PG 76:43

END TIME SPIRIT

It is easier to deny the truth than to deny a lie. Truth is denied so easily. So we are living in that time God had already foretold. Why are we witnessing these things? We are designated, predestinated to be here as the last that will mark the end of worshipping God here on earth.

This is the generation that will be last to call upon the name of God. So we are living at a time when the end of the world will come. That is why the accumulated judgment of God is breaking forth on our head. Even the murder that started in the Garden of Eden is climaxing in our age. Look at blood spillage everywhere. Everybody is blood tasty. Look at the age we are in. look at the vipers. Look at the rate of divorce. Look at the rate of broken families we now have. Irate children, children of belial everywhere who are busy committing homicides. A child killing the father is now very simple. A child killing the mother is now very simple. Tell me, is it killing the brother or sister that will be difficult?
A situation where somebody will lure his brother to overseas and use him as a collateral; sell him off, use the money and be making merriment here and there. His own blood brother. It does not mean anything to them. Those who could not travel out are here doing rituals. There is no type of ritual that is not in operation now. For which cause nobody collects money anyhow again. Some will throw money from the fence into your compound, if you mistakenly pick it thinking it is your own, that is the end of you. Whatever you are made up of will go to the shrine. Desire for money.
Read that place again. Don’t be naïve, don’t be childish, do not be ignorant. Don’t be foolish. Don’t be taken by foolish people who will tell you that these words are words of ancient. What makes them words of ancient when they are fulfilling before your eyes, when you are a part of the fulfillment? Because we fulfill scriptures ignorantly.
As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money hungry, self-promoting… Pomposity and the pride of life. Stuck-up, profane, contentious of parents.. No matter what the parents might be saying today, it is just a waste of time. They will still do that which they want to do. They will only look humble if calamity befalls them. You see him looking cheated.
…crude, coarse, dog eat dog. It is said that dog does not eat a fellow dog but today dog eats a fellow dog. That lion does not eat her babies, that was before. At the end time to mark the end of the world, lion now eats her offspring. She now opens her egg and sucks the contents.
Tell me what is reigning today; is it not to amass wealth? Many while trying to amass the wealth die in the process. Hence, you hear the person saying, “Even if I die in the process, no problem, provided I get there. Provided my fellow men are doing it, I will do it. The people making it do not have two heads. If this kind of effort is exerted towards worshiping God, will anybody be complaining? Will there be a sinner?
But watch, God saw it ahead of time. How do you know those that do not belong to God? When you give them the Word of God, they will call it old fashion. He will tell you to leave him first to live his life the way he wants, after everything, he can then consider whether to follow you or not. That the Word of God is made for old people.
And you think God should wait till whenever you finish enjoying life, God will now be the last. Then you will come to God for security. You will be another Joe Ogbuka. God will keep you by the side, tell you to continue amassing your wealth, live your life and then see what is going to befall the earth. Don’t forget God said that when He shoots any up, He marks bad and keep the person by the side. He will not kill any.
Using the handset we are using as illustration. When you want to erase certain numbers, you will mark all at the same time, after marking, you begin to crosscheck to avoid you deleting somebody that may affect you. To some, you will keep in a suspended silence by blocking the numbers. You never deleted them; rather you placed them on a suspended silence to bar communication for some time. Maybe in that isolated condition, let’s see whether he or she will come back to his senses.
It does not mean you hate him, but you do not want to delete him. You will just bar him for a while. To those numbers you marked, you will continue examining them over and over before you can now press delete, and before the final delete, you will be asked, “Are you sure you want to delete marked items?” Are you sure with a question mark and then with yes or no option. If you press no, it will return to mark, you begin to re-examine them again so that you do not out of provocation kill randomly. The essence of crosschecking the list is to avoid deleting a very important and precious contact.
For it is not easy to sign death warrant. It was brought to Peter Obi when he was the governor, he refused signing it, asking why those before him never signed it. He told them to wait till the next government after him. That he is not going to sign it.
But there was a governor, when it was brought to his table, he never hesitated to sign it. The soldiers ordered all of them out and shot them. It was noised abroad that year. They decongested the prison yard by eliminating all condemned criminals awaiting execution in one day.
Only Anambra and Akwaibom refused decongesting their prisons. Akpabio was the man on sit. He refused signing the document so that the prison can be decongested. You can decongest your phone. Once the memory fills up, you will be looking for those to remove to enable you add new ones, than leaving drones and animated human beings. Animations! Let it be known to you that it will take time. Remember the time it took you to mark them. It can take days, sometimes months.
After marking, you unmark. But to delete, you will be asked, “Are you sure? Yes or no? Once you say yes, one second, you will not see anything again. The phone will be empty again. That is where we are now. This is where we are today.
You are either carrying the mark of Christ or the mark of the devil. You are either carrying the mark of your salvation or the mark of your destruction
In one second, the bible said, in a twinkling of an eye. Look at what will happen. Whenever you shall see these things coming to pass, any generation that will witness it, let it be known to them that they are the people that will mark the end of the world.
And I bearing witness as your elder here, that during the time of my father who died in 2009, nothing like that happened. Money was worked for. Nobody amassed wealth anyhow. It never happened.
If money was easy to amass like that, will they be struggling to get it? They never experienced what we are seeing today. A situation where somebody will be killed and parts placed for sale. And you see people pricing it. My parents never saw it. What can you say about my grandparents, they never dreamt of it.
But today it has become a way of life. There is no evil that people can see and feel surprised. People are now highly insensitive towards one another, towards what is happening. It is now a way of life. Even if you kill somebody here, you see people passing. Nobody will even tell you to stop it. You can’t see people fighting and you see anybody trying to separate them. If you try to ask, somebody beside you will tell you to mind your business and go your way. If you insist, somebody from nowhere will hit you and then nobody will tell you to run away.
A situation where they stay in front of police and snatch something from somebody and yet nobody will talk. Police on the run, Army on the run. Everybody is insensitive.
That is why the bible told us that there is going to be hardening insensitivity among men as we approach the end. Even if you kill somebody, there is nothing wrong. After all, you are not the only person doing it.
They will be crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. You are addicted to evil and allergic to anything good. Is it the hour we are in?
Do you still see people moving around the streets again preaching? Try it and see what will happen to you. They will simply welcome you inside and even serve you drinks, before you know it, you will sleep off and then they will use you and do whatever they like.
That is why even the Jehovah Witness people, hardly can you see them again. They have killed many of them. What is more, in all those places where these atrocities are being committed, nobody will even accept he knows or sees anybody walking in. Even if police comes and finds their bodies, nobody will accept to know anything about it. This is the world we are living in.
Everybody should be careful. People are allergic to anything pertaining to God and strongly addicted to everything evil. …they will make a show of religion. They will make what? A show. “Bride of Christ Ministry is where I am worshipping.” But when he goes out, he will tell them to forget about him, that he knows why he is still going there. “I will leave them gradually.” I have received such statement from so many people.
Many have said it before my ears that their reason of coming here is to find a good wife. That we teach our daughters well and that they have succeeded. Once they leave, they ban their wives from attending fellowship. You see them placing a blanket ban. “After all, everybody is now at home worshipping, no need of coming to fellowship. Who is she going to report to? She is already in prison, in bondage. Because the worst prison is spiritual prison.
Once your spirit is imprisoned, you are lost. Because, you have no freedom to exercise anymore. You are in deep hell already. That is what happened in Egypt and Moses said no. I am called to deliver you, so that you will come and worship God in your own way as Jews.
So, everybody should be very careful especially our youths. If you watch it very well, this is the characteristic feature of our youths. Is it not true? Know it very well that there are predicted signs of the end time where we were told that as we near closest to the end of this world, men will be huge in stature, men will be growing taller more than women but before now, women grew faster, they grew taller than men. But as we near the end, are we not seeing it fulfilling?
During our time, women grew faster than men but today, men grow faster than women. Because there is something in the air already, predicted signs. The same thing goes with all these beauty fashions and everything. We have all of them in the ancient manuscripts. What we must watch out for. That is why we are wise men. We are wise in the things of God not in the affairs of the world.
We watch the trend; we know where it is going to lead us to. Watch the world’s trend, watch God’s own trend. They are two different things. That is why God told us, if the world is tilting to the left, we should move to the right. If they tilt to the right, we should move to the left. Who will observe it? Is it not one that is spiritually watching the movement of human beings, the desires of human beings, actions of human beings, then weigh it from the scriptures that will know where he can place them?
So everybody should be calm less you fulfill dangerous prophecies ignorantly. And you will be jumping up that you are getting saved when you are under condemnation. …They will make a show of religion but behind the scenes, they are animals. Do you know what it means for one to be an animal? Animals are even better than many. You can never see any sign of reasonableness in such people.
Only wise in their conceit. They take delight in doing those things that will destroy them and their future. They do not care. While some had already said it in their mind, “Wherever we see ourselves at the end, we take. Death that involves many does not pain. Am I the only one that will die?”
Don’t worry, on that day, you will know that you are the only person in the burning car. On that day you will know that you are the only person in the water. For one who is getting drowned does not know if there be any other person getting drowned also. One who is inside a burning vehicle, does he consider or know of any other person?
Only when you are saved, will you realize that your whole family was there. But at that point the fire is burning, you can never remember any of your family members, until you find your way.
These are the kind of persons who smooth-talk themselves into the homes of the unstable and needy women and take advantage of them, women who are depressed of their sinfulness, take up with every new religious and that calls itself “truth.” Is it not what is fooling Okey Nwankpa?
All that he deceived, have they not run away? People like Mrs Joshua Akpe and the other woman that sells cassava (fufu) at Ochanja. What is more, he cannot convert one who will throw him questions. It can only be silly women, divorcees; some of them killed their husbands. People like Mrs Joshua Akpe. He knows everything, even the confessions the woman made on how she killed the husband. And even what the daughter said for which cause she ran away less it will go into the air.
At the end, truth was revealed. Deacon Joshua’s younger brother went and invited their people. On hearing it, she threatened that the young man will follow the husband, two days later the young man died in his bed leaving the wife and children. She still threatened on how she will kill her mother in-law, kill the son, kill many others. This is the kind of people he (Okey Nwankpa) can convert.
What is more, the woman is now reporting him everywhere how he duped her and took her business money away. She is even complaining even to our members to help her and locate Okey. Just like Okey painter was complaining to Apostle Kelechi that any day he fixes his eyes on Okey Nwankpa, that he will stab Okey to death.
Okey Ibe is complaining also. How are you now complaining to people you called devil? Are you complaining to us so that we go and meet him? Are you not seeing him on a daily basis? Or are you complaining so that we can ask you to come back? It is impossible to renew one who has already gone to that extent blaspheming God. The bible said that to renew that person again to this truth is absolute impossibly.
All you have to do is to regulate that person not to renew him. Regulate that person that he should not go any further. Instead, he should be filled with remorse and go on his knees, remain praying, do not commit further. Rather remain praying, remain following, remain obeying, may be towards the end, the Lord may turn His face on you when He will see your heart as one that has turned away completely from evil. And He will know the time you turned away.
Whether you have remained consistent and constant or you were just trying to play fool of yourself. Can any man fool God? So nobody can use any sweet talk to win somebody who is already filled with this truth. Look at Brother Chigozie, before Okey Nwakpa could open his mouth, our brother told him clearly that he is a supernatural human being. That he could see that he (Okey) is no longer holding anything. And truly he is not holding anything.
So, our brother had to tell him to focus on what he came to buy so he can leave; for he was holding nothing. They get exploited every time and never really learn. These men are like those old Egypian frauds Jannes and Jambres, who challenged Moses. They were reject from the Faith twisted in their thinking.
That is why the bible told us to re-examine ourselves. Don’t you know whether the spirit of Christ is in you or not, unless you are a counterfeit who will be rejected and disapproved at the end; when there is no remedy.
All you will be hearing will be, “So, this is how I killed myself. Hence, that thing which deceived you can never come to your rescue at that point. With this few words, you will know the age you are living in, whether Enugu, Onitsha, America, Russia, they are all but one. There is no place you will go without knowing the hour we are living in. The controller of this world is money.
Is it not money that is used for fashion? Is it not money that generates pride and everything? You see why money is the root of all evil? Why people who go about hunting for money enter into diverse troubles and pierce themselves with many sorrows for which many has fallen away from the Faith like Jannes and Jambres.
^]Here is my final conclusion: fear God and obey his commandments, for this is the entire duty of man. ^[14]For God will judge us for everything we do,… For God will do what? Judge us for everything we do. …including every hidden thing, good or bad.

Pastor Daniel Attah

FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMAND, O YOUTH! PREACHED ON SUNDAY 17^TH OCTOBER, 2021 PG 152:10-11

FEAR GOD

Look at Ecclesiastics 12 verse 13. Read from the Message Bible. That is the last portion I will read and then you go. The last and final word is this: Fear God. Do what? Fear God. Do what he tells you. And that’s it. Eventually God will bring everything that we do out into the open. Everything we do, He will bring all out into the open. …and judge it according to its hidden intent, whether it’s good or evil.

Read Amplified. Verse 13. This is My final words to you. All of you, there is no exemption. The destroyer of the youths. This is what you should title it. The destroyer of the youths is ignorance of the Holy Scriptures. That is why the bible told us that my people perish because of ignorance of the scriptures and they err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation for they never came by the will of man but holy men of God spoke as the spirit gave them utterance. That is why it is more sure word of prophecy which the bible said we should stick to. The engrafted more sure word of prophecy wherein you should be established and then have a hope of salvation in Christ.
So every wise fellow must be watching himself. How can I watch myself? Is it in a mere mirror? The mirror is the Word of God. In everything I do in this life, in all my actions, doings I watch my life in line with it. Because if God has not approved it, there is no need attempting it. But if God has approved it, I will do it. It may be wrong in somebody’s eyes, but before God it is right. Then I will not come under condemnation by God.
All has been heard, the end of the matter is fear God, revere and worship Him. Reverence and worship God. Knowing that He is. Hebrew 11:6 said, whoever that will come to God will first of all believe that He is and He exists. Can we say that God does not exist? Can we say there is no God? That is what the foolish will say. After the whole thing, he will now see that the way up is down. Once he remembers what he has put himself into, sleep will vanish from his eyes.
Fear God, revere and worship him. Knowing that he is and keep his commandment for this is whole of man, the full original purpose of his creation, the object of God’s providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun and the whole duty of every man.
Blessed is that man who from infancy was led in the ways of God. He whose parents trained in the fear of God and he grew therein. Such a fellow is a blessed man. For he can never err. At any point he errs, he must acknowledge. He can never wait for somebody to tell him. And he knows what to do immediately for he can never allow it to last one second inside him. At that point he will never have peace. To eat will be a problem until he has confessed it before God.
He will be scared of being choked by the food he wants to eat. If he enters bus, he will be scared until he returns home and begins to make supplications, pleading with God for he knows that God is just in judgment. God has spoken to us this morning the same way He spoke to us yesterday.
The Word is not going to the wall or the seats here, it is going forth for you and me. it is meant for us the children of God. Put it into your hearts, bank it well, well. Use it to watch your ways as youths living here on earth. For too many things inform your behaviors, your attitudes to life. If it is not Christ’s influence, it is the devil’s influence.
Watch the physical look of all these irate youths that do not know God, shun it. Shun evil and do good. Do not look like them, do not be enticed. Do not consider what they will call you. Do not try to look fierce in appearance when you know you are not fierce in behavior. You can be fierce, scary in appearance when you are gentle minded; an easy going young man whose heart cannot harbor evil but your appearance has made you evil. Is it a lie?
It is everywhere. It is happening even right now. Who will read the handwriting on the wall to know where the world is right now? It is only the children of God. If you do not know where they are now, you will fall prey in their hand. But once you know where they are, know the spirit in operation, to escape becomes very easy.
God has given us the way of escape by chatting this path for us. He established this path for us. From where we read yesterday, if we walk on this path which He chatted for us, He will be with us. There is no trouble that shall come our ways. But any day you leave God behind, you will land yourself into trouble; you may not come out from it very easily.
You then decide to run away from the truth and run to where you will be pampered, fine. You land in the congregation of the dead. So it is better we use this morning and tell ourselves the last truth because we may not have tomorrow. We have today praying that we shall be here tomorrow if there be tomorrow. But not everybody who is here today will have tomorrow.
Any day we wake up is another opportunity God has given us to re-examine ourselves and our relationship with God and with one another. That is the essence of preaching the Word of God. Telling us what He demands from His children.

PRAYER

Let us pray.
Our heavenly Father, we bow down and reverence you because of who you are to us. You are really the most wonderful Father, the incomparable Father, the incomparable God, although you are incomprehensible. Father, you have assisted us to comprehend You to an extent. Hence, we bow low before you for you are the Almighty God that formed us. From nothing, you have made us something. That we are still existing here on earth is by your power and might.
That we are breathing is because you allowed the breath of life to remain in us. That we are worshipping you is because you have chosen us before the world began to be numbered among the handpicked few Father that will bow down before you and worship you in spirit and in truth in this end of the world. Lord, we say thank you for giving us believing hearts to believe the truth. Even this believing is not of our own. It is your grace. Hence, we cannot boast.
That we are still oh God matching on in the Faith is because you are the one sustaining and giving us the enabling power. Lord we thank you immensely. For if you never came our ways, maybe by now we would have been in our premature graves. Maybe by now, we must have joined those that fell away from the Faith. But you sustained us, you are still nourishing us. Father we are much more appreciative.
You have never failed Oh Lord for one day to talk to us, opening our eyes of understanding, illuminating, Oh God the eyes of our spirits even to see afar off. Hence we have seen all our mistakes, all the crimes we committed; they are all standing before our eyes.
Father, we plead that you forgive all for your name’s sake. As we have turned Father to you as the God of our salvation for we have proved that without you, we can do nothing, that the help of man is vain.
We have proved beyond all reasonable doubt that there is nothing in this earth that has any guarantee of permanence. We came and we met them here. When we will depart, we will leave all of them here.
Father, knowing that these things can never give us eternal life, help us Oh Lord to adjust our minds, our spirits, our hearts properly to suit Oh God the messages we have received, lest they will become our condemnation tomorrow.
Father, we thank you, for You have spoken to us in love all these while. It is like we have come here to have a revival. Father, every minute we stay with you is a revival. Lord, we really thank you. We appreciate. Thank you is not enough. We have given you our lives Oh God in return.
For that is the only thing we know we can give you. It is clear that you have loved us more than we love ourselves. You have better things to offer us than we think we can get through ourselves.
Help us to depend on you, to rely on you help us to work with you. You have shown us Oh God the provided way and have encouraged us to walk in it. Though Oh God the devil will try to instigate one thing or the other into our memories, into our minds, Father let there be that still voice that will still speak to us saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it”.
May we resist any other voice that speaks contrary to this one which you have spoken to us. As we walk on this way with you, help us Oh God to fulfill your righteous demands happily graciously, may we never try to work out our salvation. May we live the life of obedience to the truth, reverencing you, adoring you for that is all you need from us. It is our whole duty, help us to fear you in all situations and let your fear be our dread.
This morning Oh God, our children will be going back to their station at Enugu. You brought them here safely; you safeguarded their lives while they were with Me here. They have been a source of comfort to Me and to all who are with Me here. Father, bless them all.
I have blessed them already. I will remain blessing them. You have given them thy Word which is the greatest blessing, Father I pray, as youths, do not allow them to be swept away by the evil current that is sweeping all our youths away. May they remain on course, walking on the established way which you have provided for them. May they never go the way of those that went astray. May they always remain resolute, immovable, steadfast and unshakeable in their faith in God.
Father, bless the fruits of their hand. Bless whatever they shall lay their hands to do. Do not allow them Oh God to give their ears to fables, to seducing spirits, may they never, never. Save them Oh God from all forms of enchantments, from all diabolic acts, from all insidious attacks that may be directed to all of them by their enemies who they do not know and some who they know very well.
Insulate them completely from such insidious physical and spiritual attacks. Ward off Oh God all of them from reaching them. May they blossom. Father, may they blossom in the morning, in the afternoon, in the night like the tree that is planted at the bank of the ocean. May their leaves remain evergreen. May their fruits Oh God, father be such that will be the admiration of all.
We bow down before you and say Lord open their coasts. Give them their own riches not the world riches. Give them heavenly riches. May you never permit any of them to go about begging bread less your name be blasphemed. May you never Oh God in this life nor in the life to come forsake them. Always be with them. Be their watchman. Father, be their armour bearer. May they never regret obeying you from their youthful age.
May they never in any form or shape murmur or complain or Father in any form or shape, may they never feel allergic to your Words. May they never be addicted to evil. In short, if it is possible, may they never taste of evil. Let all of them be addicted in your Word as the early Apostles were addicted in your Word. Make them Word addicts.
Father, you have shown them the provided way. Provide all that they need to succeed in this life and even in the hereafter. Make them examples of youthful believers.
May they shine like beacon lights wherever they find themselves. I hand them over to your care and you have promised that whatever thing that is committed into your hand is secured till eternity. Nothing can pluck that person out of your hand. Father, I rest my petition here saying, may your presence go before them as they go.
Make a way for them where there is no way. Cover them with thy glory. Father divine; remove all obstacles from their way. All impediment. Let law enforcement agents on the highway bow before them Lord. May their vehicle never spoil. May their journey be crime free, accident free. Even in Enugu, keep their dwelling places secured. Give charge over your guardian angel to be on guard around their premises 24 hours of the day.
I make this solemn request on their behalf and on the behalf of our distant families, some of them are in Lagos, some in Portharcourt, some are in Umudike, Enugu, Abuja, Mbaise, everywhere. As many as are connected to this family. Some at Nsukka, Opi, they are everywhere; oversee their activities. Are there some that are sick in one way or the other, heal them all. Let them breathe a sigh of relief and serve you with joy.
Our brother and our sister here, Father, from the look of things, they have agreed to be husband and wife. We are still praying and will remain praying. If from your own point of view, from everything we have said, you are sure and certain Oh God for I know you cannot make a mistake, that they are two incompatibles, that this marriage will end in disaster, this marriage will bring sorrow, pain, anguish to both of them and their families, that this marriage will cause your name to be blasphemed, if this is exactly what they are entering into, Father, halt it now that their souls might be saved.
But where you are Oh God in approval that their hearts are pure, that they are going to be exemplary among the youths that are marrying these days for good and not for evil, Father, indorse it for them. We are still waiting, we are still watching, we are following your leadership. As parents, we have not said no, we have not said yes for we will remain praying, we will remain Oh God waiting for your verdict.
As we carry out our necessary investigations, preliminary investigations as humans trying to eliminate all those obstacles if there be any that will hinder them from enjoying their union, Father help us, discover the truth and nothing but the truth. If there be any ailment we discover and you know Oh God that love covers it, let their love grow together and then accept it together.
If they call upon you, answer and heal them. Father we bow down and say, Thank You. If we have anything greater to offer, we will give to you for your stay with us within this period these children have been here, it is evidenced in the level of peace we have enjoyed, love, happiness, in the level of relationship, level of worship Father we have had together which hitherto eluded us.
Now as they continue, Father, continue with them. Wherever they are, may they never play with worshipping you. May they never Oh God refrain from coming together in worship, in fellowship like the renegades. May they cluster themselves together and then talk to them whenever they gather. Hearken to their prayers and then let them blossom Father not only spiritually but also materially.
Do not allow any of them to be a cast away. Save all of us to the utmost. On my behalf, I have to thank you Oh God for giving Me sound health. You are the pillar that heals. In spite of the pressures and everything, Father I give you the praise. Grant that whenever they will come back, they will still meet all of us here in sound mind, in sound health, in sound spirit.
Lord, we are looking up to you. Thank you for the provisions you made even before they came. All of them ate and drank to their satisfaction. Father, we say, Thank You. If we do not acknowledge all you have been doing for us, we will be the worst ingrates. Far be it from us to be ingrates. Father, bless us the more and keep on showering us Father as channels of blessing to mankind.
Use mankind to bless us in return. To your Most Holy Name we give the praise, we give You the glory, we attribute the victory Father for answering our prayers. For your name’s sake Oh Lord, we pray, Amen.
