2023 NEW YEAR MESSAGE COMPLETE PARDON AND RESTORATION TO THE LORD ON Sunday January 1^st 2023 PG 27:14 & PG 38:46

APPRECIATIONS TO GOD

The paradise of God, the Kingdom of God, the awaited beautiful city of heaven, no evil doer, no sinner, no unbeliever, no doubter, fearful, compromiser nor hypocrite can ever smell it.

That is what we are singing even this morning, as we offer thanks to the Almighty God for His goodness even in our midst. We thank God and we will forever continue to thank Him that in these last days whereby God is concluding His work of creation and salvation in righteousness;
The everlasting plan He initiated even before the foundation of the world, it pleased Him to select you and I, as the veritable tools He will use for this very purpose.
Hence, while we remain alive, we remain indebted to God to give Him praise, worship and honour due to His Name, for if we were let alone, if we were to be selected on the basis of what we could offer, I bet you, we will not be among those that will be up for consideration.
But you and I were born for this purpose, you were born a child of God, it was not of your own making. You were born into the family of God, it was not of your own making.
You and I got covenanted to God in our own day and today, we are not just witnesses to what God is doing, but a part and parcel of all that the Almighty God is doing. Why not say ‘Thank You Lord’. Why not say ‘I praise You Lord’, for there is nothing greater than this.
Brethren, we are giving all praise and honour due to the Name of God, we are sharing testimonies of God’s goodness even with regards to the just concluded internment/burial ceremony and service, of our late mother, I mean the Queen of Heaven; mother Sarah, the very second Eve who has corrected the errors and mistakes of the first Eve, thereby making it possible for the womenfolk to obtain salvation from God, for as many who will pattern after her righteous example.
We are talking of no less a personality than mummy Nzubechi Joy Odoemena. We give God the praise that we have successfully been able to commit our great mother to her final place of rest, I mean her temporary place of rest so to say, for the final rest would be in paradise.
But just like it was read in the book of Daniel by our Bishop Chidubem Jonathan, she has gone into her chambers, were God has decided to hide her away from His wrath which is about to befall all mankind.
But definitely, I say definitely on that resurrection morning, our mother would be there with us once again. We are not trying to comfort ourselves in false assurance, but we are sure and certain because this is the perfect promise of the Almighty God who cannot lie and definitely it must come to pass.
We give Him the praise. Count yourself worthy, count yourself a blessed fellow, if at all, you were privileged to be among those to have been selected, as well as those who were able to be there to witness that great occasion.
You had nothing to offer, I had nothing to offer. I mean the Bride must have been very much shocked to the bone marrow, to see that this occasion indeed was beyond what the Bride could host. This occasion was beyond what we knew our normal routine burials to be.
It was a unique event and it was clear that the Almighty God simply granted us the privilege and opportunity to have participated, to co-host such a great event. It was indeed a privilege, not something we could shoulder and we give God the glory.
That is why I say, count yourself worthy if you found yourself there or offered your little service, or witnessed that great event. For whenever history is about to be made, God must select witnesses and it becomes a privilege if you and I are amongst such witnesses.
Not only were you selected but also, God allowed you to be there. Many were selected but they were not there. Many came later, others could not even make it. Anyway, we give God the praise, why because God regulated the whole event the way He wanted it to be.
He did it the perfect way He wanted it to be, to the praise of His Name and His Name alone. There was no flesh that could take the glory and that was why God regulated it the way He wanted.
Those that would be there, those that will make it later, those that wouldn’t be there, in all, we give God the glory.
The truth is wherever you were as a saint of God, whether at the event or not, I believe that every true elect of God from the bottom of his heart was giving glory to God wherever he was, was praying for the utmost success of the occasion and you can be rest assured that all the glory went to God.
There was not even one who came to that place/event, who did not testify of God’s goodness, who did not say, ‘indeed, the Queen of Heaven has gone to rest’.
The Son of Man’s family is a righteous family, A to Z. I mean from the organization, to everything, in fact there has never been a family like this. Indeed there has never been.
And brethren we are just praising God every day because I wasn’t just a witness, I was a partaker and I give God the praise because I count it as a privilege. Nothing that I merited or is it a right, but I give Him all the praise.
Brethren to God be the glory. The destination of our mother isn’t uncertain at all. We are sure for we are standing with the Almighty God, the resurrected body, who liveth and reigneth forevermore. And we are sure and certain that our mother is resting in the bosom of the Lord.
The first fruit of the kingdom of heaven and that is why we are giving God praise. But in all, the living should be the one to learn the greatest lesson, so that by the time our lives journeys will end, our testimony would be as that of our mother.
So we give Him all the praise for everything. Sings: To you Lord, be all the glory, honour and adoration, forevermore.

Why are you looking at Me? Why are all these things being revealed now? It is because we are about to harvest the earth. THIS IS HARVEST TIME. If we revealed it in the beginning, somebody might be thinking that we were coming here to impersonate. These things remained there quiet and silent, only to be revealed in these last days, for the comfort and cushioning of them that are already in the Ark. Alleluia!

THIS IS HARVEST TIME [THANK YOU LORD] Volume ON Sunday, 1^st August 2021 pg. 38:55-57

THIS IS THE HARVEST TIME

I want you to be with me this hour, as I share this little testimony of exhortation, giving all praise to the Almighty God on behalf of the life of our mother and on behalf of we the saints who are still in the flesh and alive today.

I give Him all the praise because the honour can only go to Him. I want to say it confidently, that the exit of our mother is a sign of the end of the Bridal Age. I say, a sign of the end of this glorious ministry that has visited mankind today.
We are confidently sure today, that indeed, the end of all things is upon us and that things can never remain the same again. Therefore, I want you to give me good attention as we this morning share the Word of Grace.
All praise be to God the most high, our Father who has preserved us alive in Him till this very day despite the trying times we are living in.
Brethren while we remain alive, having come to the end of the ministry and of all things, we would never seize to encourage one another and remind ourselves of these great truths that has brought us thus far and will lead us till the end.
With a view to [I] encouraging us to continue steadfastly till the end without loosing our confessions and good testimonies in Christ and [II] to make necessary amendments where required and where we have failed, peradventure we could still obtain God’s mercies one last time.
Hence, do not count yourself lost nor allow anyone else to do so, for until God who is revealed in our midst says so, all hope is not yet lost.
This is the time when the faith of Christ must produce the Saints and nothing less. That is, those perfected by the Word of God or else the essence of Christ dwelling with us in flesh and being our great teacher all these years would have been defeated but we know it can never happen.
Therefore, necessity is laid on me even this hour to remind us all of the stage we are in, (where we have gotten to, what is taking place currently, the hour we are in) and this cannot be achieved outside the spoken word.
Hence follow me as we go straight into the message,” This is the Harvest Time”.
We are going to consider few nuggets relating to the hour, the point we have found ourselves even right now.
This is the Harvest Time (Thank You Lord) chapter 2 Page 63:32-36, ‘When you take your produce, the Harvest from the farm, whatever that is left in the farm is labeled undesirable and is only good to be set ablaze, to clear the farmland of those nonsenses thereby creating space for the planting of new ones next season…
Do we believe that God is right now doing the Harvest? Do we believe that God is right now calling His own into Himself? Do we believe that God is making sure that all His own are harvested into His barn?
Remember, God has different ways of harvesting His own. It might not be the way you are seeing it but, God knows the way He is doing it.
If we are currently in the Harvest period, whatever is left (not harvested) by the Almighty forms the chaff that shall be left for destruction together with the weed. Why? They did not produce the desired result/fruit. This is where we are right now.
…This is the time of harvest. There is a time for planting, a time for weeding and a time for harvesting. A good farmer does not plant all the year round without harvesting. Did you get the message?
Even if you are raising fishes in the pond, do you remain pouring fishes into the pond? Anyone that is ripe, you will harvest. Amen!
I am talking to human beings, we are the crops God planted in His own vineyard…
Who are the crops God planted? We human beings! You and I that form this little enclave, this mercury like faith that came down from heaven which we call; The Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide.
God planted us like seedlings in His farm and has been nurturing us all these years, labouring night and day, despite the pains of the flesh, despite the troubles and trials, even taking all pains to make sure that He raised us to the desired standard He needs.
Now He is here to harvest as many that have produced that which He is looking for, shall you be in the number? For if you do not fall in this category, it simply means you fall among the category of the chaff who wasted all of God’s energy for they never produced the desired fruit. Hence you shall be hewed down together with the weeds for burning.
…All these years He has been talking to us watching over us with tender mercies, providing all that we need to grow spiritually and physically, to remain appreciative with one another and to be like him.
This is because the Bible said that He has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness even His invincible qualities, invincible attributes, the deity, the cloud, the Godhead, the original body, all of them have been made manifest unto us. What is the reason?
What is the reason? That we might obtain the perfect nature of the Almighty God. That has been the reason for all of this.
See the way that God was at home even during this occasion because He has produced a family that is a perfect replica of who He is. That is why you could see the perfect coordination. He did not need to be shouting left, right, front and center. There was perfect unity of purpose among the family, everybody knowing his or her function and area.
Each and everyone of them was a representation of the Son of Man wherever he or she was found. Hence it was easy for the Son of Man to rest and take in the whole situation for it was not easy upon our God. And this is how God wants you and I to be.
Can you be the Son of Man wherever you are found? Whereby you have come to attain His nature, so that there is nothing God is questioning in you and questioning in me, for this is the essence of revealing all His attributes to us, giving us His Word that we might attain His nature. The harvest is already on.
The same message, page 55:9-11, ‘So this is the time of harvest. There is a time for everything. There is a time for planting, a time for weeding and a time for harvesting…
We have that message, ‘A Time for Everything’. So there is a stage for everything in this Faith and this is the stage we have arrived at.
…This is harvest time. The Lord will first of all collect the jewels like a good farmer will collect the good yam tubers…
He will first of all collect His own. Those that have produced what He needs, He will take them away. Having taken them out, he will then flush out the weed.
That was why, when the evil one came into the Master’s vineyard and planted the weeds, the Master’s servants said”, Lord look at what the evil one did at night, we will uproot everything”, He said No, allow them to grow, they are yet too tender.
A stage is coming where every man shall bear fruit of his own kind. Ye shall bear thy fruit and it shall become so glaring, it can never be hidden anymore. At that point it will be easy to separate the sheep from the goat.
But if you are to go now, you might mistakenly harvest the sheep as a goat or the goat as a sheep because they are still very tender.
Look at the stage we are in the Bride. We are at a point whereby nobody can hide his or her identity anymore. Whatever you are made up of, is what you are manifesting even at this point.
There is no more shamefacedness for evil doers, no more restraint, for you cannot hold back your nature.
If the Word of God has not become your permanent nature, it must reflect in your character. It must reflect in your manifestations on a daily basis.
…This is harvest time… that is what we are talking about. …The Lord will first of all collect the jewels like a good farmer will collect the good yam tubers, maize and everything. Put them in the barn for perfection and for reproduction. Is it not true?
Then the rest of the weeds and the other crops that could not produce anything, the good-for-nothing crops will be regarded as the offensive ones and then destroyed with the weeds’.
Can you imagine, the good for nothing crops, they were not the weeds oo. They were planted, they were watered, they were nourished, they were fed. Did the Master do that because He wanted to destroy them in the end? God forbid!
Will He waste His efforts because at the end He wanted to raise them up for destruction? No! But they failed to utilize all that God was giving to them all these years and because of that they became good-for-nothing just like the weed that was growing alongside the true plants.
Hence when the real seeds of God were manifesting their fruits thereof, the good-for-nothing ones had nothing to produce. What will happen to them? They will be hewed down together with the weeds for there is no difference between the two of them.
Are we speaking in parables? I don’t think so. I think the message is as clear as the day to all the elects of God worldwide, that who will be disappointed at the end?
It is not those out there, call them the drunkard, or the denominational man going to his church who has been deceiving himself all these years thinking he is worshipping God but it is one who came face to face with the Almighty God Apostle Peter Odoemena BBHMHN in this age, a part of this glorious ministry that has been shining forth upon the land.
He was able to receive these glorious messages we have been receiving, he was able to experience the touch of the Lord in his or her life, but at the end of the day he could not produce/manifest a single attribute of the Almighty in his or her life and at the end when the saints are marching into paradise, he is marching into the great tribulation. Of all human beings, he is the most miserable.
Of all human beings, you are going to be the most disappointed of all. Why should that be my fate or your fate?
This is the harvest time! We have already seen the first fruit being taken away and our prayers is that our testimonies will end like hers. Is that not your prayer? If it is not for you, it is for me.
For I know that we have come to the days whereby the dead in Christ shall be better than the living who are living outside Christ.
We are still examining the same message looking into the hour we are in, using it as a background to gain an understanding of the time we are in, where this Bridal faith has reached.
I am repeating it, that the exit of our mother has marked the end of this Bridal faith or age.
In other words, God is finally taking His own off the scene, for He believes that we have come to maturity, that the faith has come to a point whereby the saints of God must be produced, manifestation of the sons and daughters of God is now or never.
If you are not a Saint right now, not by your power but by what the Word of God has done in you, hence you can say it is no longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me, it then means you are a counterfeit, that is, if you haven’t gotten to this point. Amen!
Page 53:2, ‘This is because we are summarizing. This is the harvest time. This is the harvest time. For God cannot set His farm ablaze and allow fire to ravage the good crops and the weeds. It then means He laboured in vain’.
We are summarizing. Do you see where we are right now brethren? We are summarizing all things. When you are summarizing, what are you doing? Doting your I’s and crossing your T’s. Putting in place final touches of the things that are left to be done but the major work has already been completed. Am I right?
For example, in the building of a house, when you are summarizing, you are not laying the foundation, you are not molding blocks anymore, you are not putting cement, you are simply putting small, small fittings to bring out the beauty of the structure that you have built already. Painting the house, wall decorations, planting flowers around.
You are summarizing but the major construction has already been put in place. The architectural plan has already come out fully. That is what we are doing.
We are summarizing the faith. We are not preaching repent or you perish, we are not at this point establishing that God is a Man, that Apostle Peter Odoemena is the Almighty, for if He is not revealed in your heart already, please go and have your rest, you do not belong to God. This is not what we are crying for right now, for every elect has that as a personal revelation.
We are not now begging people to come and worship the Lord, we are summarizing this age gradually, gradually, making sure that all that was written in the volume of the books concerning us have come to pass by making ourselves available, ready instruments in the hands of the Lord for only then can the Lord bring to pass that which He has spoken concerning you and concerning me. Amen!
This is the Harvest Time brethren. We are still looking at the hour we are in as we examine the current event that has just taken place.
Page 66:42-50, ‘Now, this is the time of harvest. He is coming to harvest nothing but anyone that is like Him. He is coming to take nothing but anyone that is like Him. For if you are not like Him, you are not Him, you will not dwell with Him Eternally…
If you are not like Him, you cannot dwell with Him eternally. That is it. Hence, watch those who surround the Lord, they are those that God is comfortable with their nature, for they are manifesting His attributes and that is why you see them giving Him exactly what He needs.
If you do not fall in this category, sorry art thou, for God is only taking those that are like Him.
Page 58:19-21, ‘I am saying that this message that is going round the whole world is producing saints because it is truth from God… That is true!
This message that has gone, is going and will continue to go round the whole world is producing saints. So why would the Bridal faith not produce the saints today?
If you have not come to the saint level, place a question mark on thyself. A point whereby God can look at you and say, ‘you have no question to answer’. The message is producing the saints of God worldwide and we are about to take our flight.
…It is a fertile message fertilizing the heart with good information towards God and towards humanity. A message that changes the lives of those that believe. Is it not true?
But you still see some people in this same faith writing the messages, preaching it and believing it with their mouth but at the end of the day their lives would remain unchanged, good-for-nothing human beings…
These are the chaff. They were planted as seeds, preaching the message, holding this message, but the life cannot be seen. Am I in that category? Who is going to answer that question? It is I. Are you in that category? Who will answer it? Yourself!
Are you among those that are holding the message, calling the Son of Man Lord but the life is not seen in you nor in your environment, in your home. Then what kind of a person are you? You are a good-for-nothing for the impact of the Word has not transformed your life.
…But at the end of the day their lives would remain unchanged. Good-for-nothing human beings, all of them in the same vineyard’.
All of us in this same Bridal faith. You see some have been raised from sinners to Saints while others are still there, not living the life. Not outside but in this same Bridal faith. That is why God is now harvesting His own. Amen!
Brethren ask yourselves these questions: why should I choose to be good-for-nothing? Was it not the same opportunity provided to others that was afforded to me? What hindered me from making the best use of it and earn God’s recommendation like others?
Is my current condition not a true reflection of how I have been following this Faith and to what extent I have harnessed and exploited the Word of truth in my life? Can God be unfair in His judgement against me?
These and many more, are pertinent questions every individual must provide the solution to as we approach the end of all things, depending on the situation you have found yourself or I have found myself.
Page 106:81-86, ‘God has detailed His harvesters, the angels to the four corners of the earth, this is the time of harvest. You will see what will happen between now and next year…
Brethren I want you to look at this portion very well. Look at it critically. First of all, this message was preached on Sunday, the 01^st of August 2021. The Almighty God told us where we have arrived, that this is the harvest time whereby God shall begin to pick His elect and you do not know in what way He will do it but God has different techniques of harvesting those that are ripe and then placing them in His barn.
I want to give a little logical example of this. If you are a farmer, when you know that the maturity time of your crops have come, and the period of harvest is there, there must be a set day whereby you know that the crops are all fully ripe in which the farmer will go into the farm to harvest all His produce.
Anything that is left after that period is regarded as waste, as chaff. They shall be destroyed with the weed and then the farm shall be ploughed again preparatory for another planting season. But I want you to take notice of this that before that very day when the farmer goes to make the final harvest, there are some he would pick out of the farm before then because they have already come to full maturity ahead of others.
He picks it maybe as a sample proving that this farm is now mature for harvest. This is the stage we have gotten to. The first fruit has been picked from the Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide.
I mean read this prophetic passage as found in this message preached in August 2021 and let us see where we are now. Then we shall know if this prophecy has come to pass or not.
…God has detailed the harvesters, His angels to the four corners of the earth. This is the time of harvest. You would see what will happen between now and next year and that would show you that God has come really to harvest the earth…
And that will show you that God really has come to harvest the earth. Brethren, has it happened? It has! Was it not within this same period of time that our mother rested in the Lord? A sure sign to the entire Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide that the Almighty God is on His way home. That the Almighty God is now taking those that are found in Him one after the other.
…The earth is ripe for harvest. If you say it is not ripe for harvest, tell me what else you can expect from the earth. Can it get any better again? Everyday, things are getting worse…
Look at what is happening down there in Europe; the Russian invasion of Ukraine in this 21^st century. Look at all that is happening in the world, is there any sign that there is improvement? That things are getting better? No! Rather things are getting worse.
…If God does not harvest the earth now for the sake of the elect, if He does not cut this period short, I bet you, no flesh shall be saved’.
And Brethren, this Word came to pass. Remember, a single event can fulfill a thousand prophecies. A thousand prophecies will line up by just that event.
Let us now go to the message, Be Careful That Your Daily Character Does Not Counter The Truth You Have Received preached on the 29^th of November 2020. Chapter 3 Page 51:2,
‘And I am raising this family to a height expecting that the first fruit would be harvested from this family…
Do you believe it now that it has come to pass? For God said what will happen between now and next year which we are in right now will prove to you that God has come all out to harvest. Then look at the prophecy He made in 2020, that He is raising His nuclear family to a height whereby the first fruit would be harvested from His very own family.
…That when we are talking about the translation of our mortal bodies, there is no other way or any other place that I am expecting it will showcase itself first, if not from this family’.
Oh! Brethren, to God be the glory! Page 54:7-8, ‘This message is for this family, not for everybody because this family must produce the first fruit. M.U.S.T. Why not say Amen!
Amen! Has it not come to pass? Why not put your hands together for God; He who sees the end, afar off even from the very beginning. Bringing it to pass. Is it now certain to you, that God knew everything that was going to transpire?
Is it now certain to you that Almighty God had already prepared this stage ahead of time before we landed there today? That is why you must know the Personality you are having dealings with.
…Is this family this building? Is this family the seats you are sitting on? This family is nothing but human beings dwelling in this family, personally and practically sharing everything in common with the Son of Man and His wife’.
Brethren, today are these prophecies fulfilled even in our midst as can be backed up in the message, Be Conscious of the Critical Hour We Have Rolled Into which was preached on the 28^th of January 2022 a taped sermon at Nsugbe and in it, I quote the voice of the Son of Man thus;
‘Let us not be careless. Let us not be careless. Let us be conscious of the type of life we are living at this point in time knowing that somebody had already been pulled out from among us, reasons he has explained and the Lord has already explained it.
While she has gone ahead of us according to the prophecy, has this family not produced the first fruit? Very clear! Then others will follow. Who are the others? You and I, that is if we live the same Life’. Amen!
Do you see what will happen if you and I live the same life? Only then shall our testimony be like that of our mother upon our exit. Do you see the condition there? Do you see the standard God is now using to harvest the others? Amen!
Let us hear Him again during His opening prayers in the tape on Sunday the 13^th of February 2022 during the sermon Caution, He said in the following Words and I quote;
‘Remember the covenant I made with You about the children that came out of My loins. Today I am their father, I am their mother, for their mother being the first Fruit, being the first seed I planted, produced the first fruit and was immediately taken away having fulfilled the agreement I entered into with her;
When this covenant was made between heaven and earth, between the Almighty God and all flesh, that I should have a wife, with no other qualification than one who will help me to run this ministry without failing on the way, Father till the end.
And immediately oh God I arrived at the father of the faith, introduced Abraham, introduced his faith and everything and pointed all to the promised one seed, Father, I announced the end of the faith…
I announced what? The End of the faith! Do you now believe we have come to the end of this Bridal Age? We continue brethren.
…Having declared all, nothing is left, not even one is coming again, no substitute, for if there could be, she would have remained here.
Seeing that she has come to the end, fulfilling the agreement which I entered into with her, between heaven and earth, father of a necessity, there was no reason why you should allow her to be here lest there be stories that could be told around her.
For that reason oh God, You brought her home and settled her on her seat which she vacated to sojourn with the women folk here and to be a help to me according to Your Word which You spoke on the day You created her, that she must be a help-meet for My need.
There was only but one man Adam, one woman Eve and these last days we have seen the second Adam, we have seen the second Eve.
Father, we are rejoicing in hope that He that paved the way for her will also pave a way for all her children that came from her loins. Will equally pave a way for all that have believed in Him, I mean in the spoken word Father even which the elect lady gave to the womenfolk, some she gave to the menfolk’. Amen!
To God be the glory! Now we are sure brethren, now we are certain that the Almighty God knew perfectly well that our mother was going to rest and He called her home as the first fruit which has been taken in this Bridal Age.
To God be the glory! And indeed, He that paved a way for her, will pave the way for all of us who have anchored in Him if we continue steadfastly till that very day. Amen!

²⁶The last enemy to be subdued and abolished is death. The last enemy to be subdued and also abolished is what? Death! And that is where we are now, now now. Who will have that victory? He [or she] that has embraced God and all that He is made up of. He [or she] that has totally surrendered to the will of Allah, irrespective of where you are coming from and where you belong to, for in every place, every nation, every organization, whosoever that feareth and honoureth the LORD, the same is made acceptable by Him.

DEATH: THE LAST ENEMY TO CONQUER VOL.2 Preached On Sunday 19^th December 2021 pg. 64:58-59

DEATH IS THE LAST ENEMY TO BE CONQUERED

At this juncture I want to emphatically state it to silence all doubting Thomas’s, I mean in this Bridal Faith and beyond, for there has never been a time were mockers will not emerge, trying to see our downfall, looking for situations were they can say, ‘were is their God’.

Unfortunately for them, they do not know the promises of God. Hence I want to make it clear from here as an Apostle of the Lord to those of little faith and to all doubters, those with little understanding of the promises of God; I want you to know that all the true elects of God scattered across the world today have gradually by the power of the Word in our lives grown beyond the fear and dread of death.
Death has lost it’s sting because we are living with the Resurrected Body. Then why would we fear death? He that was dead but is now alive even forevermore.
The saints of God today are mourning the death and exit of our beloved mother in joy, lively hope and expectation and not in sorrow because we are confidently sure and certain of her final abode as the Word of God has assured us and there we stand unshakeable.
If you are mourning in sorrow, it is because you know not of the promise and plans of God for the saints. We mourn not because our mother is gone forever but because we can no more fellowship together in this flesh.
If you are an enemy that is happy, mocking at the exit of our mother, because you think misfortune has befallen us, you do so because you are a heathen. You lack the knowledge and power of God’s Word and promises, hence the uncertainty of eternity has allowed death to retain it’s power over you. Making you to see death as an evil thing to befall a man or a woman. You see it as an unfortunate event to befall a seed of God.
The reason why death is a mystery dreaded by all men is because of the uncertainty of their fate in eternity. This is the victory of the elects because the Word of God sealed by His promise and oath, of which we know God cannot lie assures us of life after death.
It assures us of where we presently stand and where we shall rest in eternity with God; a privilege that an unbeliever or natural man cannot get.
I want you to follow me then to the Holy books as I open your eyes of understanding to the Word of God; the reason why we elects are mourning in hope and joy that Christ has called home the first fruit, lest you think an unfortunate event has befallen us.
For you cannot expect God to act contrary to His Word. All the promises of God of a better life would be met according to His Word. The last enemy standing before us which we will conquer remains death.
Ecclesiastes 8:8, ‘^[8]No one can keep from dying or put off the day of death. That is a battle we cannot escape; we cannot cheat our way out. GNB.
It is a natural cause, a natural occurrence.
Surah 3:185, ‘Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]...
In other words, death has never been and can never be the final reward. If death is the final reward then we who have believed in Christ are the most cheated and miserable. Am I right? So the real reward is yet to come.
Death is but a mere natural occurrence which every flesh must face. God never said to any elect that you will never see death in this flesh. He never gave any false hope like that to us.
So why trying to make noise and unnecessary arguments and raise unnecessary dust concerning the exit of our mother? Already you are defeated this hour.
…So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion. (Saheeh International Translation).
The life of this world is mere illusion. What is deceiving mankind in this world are the things this eyes can see, the things this ears are hearing but the reality they do not know is not in this life we are living.
This life is a mere journey, a mere transition journey, we are yet to reach our final goal. So brethren, you must know why we are rejoicing no matter the pains we are feeling in the flesh, for the exit of our mother is a glorious thing.
Surah 21:35, ‘Every soul has to experience the taste of death. We test you with both hardships and blessings. In the end you will all return to Us. (Muhammad Sarwar Translation).
Every soul can experience death. Non either is free from hardships neither are you exempted from God’s blessings. So if these are the things you are using to measure God, you have missed the way.
That we are suffering hardships doesn’t stop us from being elects of God. That we rest in the flesh does not stop us from being the elects of God serving the true God. God has done no harm to us. So where then does your carnal arguments come from? Amen!
Ecclesiastes 9:2-3,‘^[2](2-3)The same providence confronts everyone, whether good or bad, religious or irreligious, profane or godly. It seems so unfair that one fate comes to all.
That is why men are not more careful to be good but instead choose their own mad course, for they have no hope—there is nothing but death ahead anyway’. LB.
It looks as though it is unfair that everyone of these should experience the same fate. Indeed if death was the final reward for all flesh, I would personally believe that it is also unfair. But that is not the reward.
Some say, if this good woman can die, if this good person can die, what is the point? After all, all of us at last go still die. Do you see their reasoning? Because fools believe that there is no life after death. Hence they go to all means to see how they can grab this world thinking that life starts and ends here on earth. But is that the Word of God? No!
Surah 3:102, ‘O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]. (Saheeh International Translation).
In other words, those that have believed are not exempted from death but God’s injunction is that as a believer you should not die except you are dying in Christ.
‘O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam’. (Yusuf Ali Translation).
Die not except in total submission to the will of the Almighty God. Those that die in Christ are those that have died the righteous death.
Psalms 82:6-7, ‘I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes’ KJV.
Despite the fact that we are the children of God, in death which is a natural occurrence, we shall pass through it like any other man but it doesn’t mean that it is our final abode.
This is why God has not yet stopped any of His own from resting but they are resting because they died in Christ, they are asleep in Christ. It is the same thing we just read in Surah.
‘You are gods,’ I said; ‘all of you are children of the Most High.’ But you will die like mortals; your life will end like that of any prince.” GNB.
Your life will end like that of any man. This is the Word of God to us, so why then would we question the exit of a saint? Is it outside the will of God? Is it outside the Word of God? Absolutely not!
Surah 4:78, ‘“Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!” If some good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah”; but if evil, they say, “This is from thee” (O Prophet)…
If good befalls mankind, that is, the things they like, for mankind does not know what good or bad is. What is good to mankind is anything that favours him, anything he likes. What is bad to mankind is anything he does not want, that is his idea of good and bad.
But God’s idea of good and bad is far different. To a natural man therefore, when good happens to him by his own estimation, he says it is from God but if it is not what he want, it becomes, ‘Oh Son of Man, this is your handiwork. It is the doing of the Son of Man. Oh if I did not believe in this, oh if I did not.’ Just the same way they were disturbing Moses.
When the going was good, they were giving God the praise, ‘see the God that brought us out of Egypt’. Everybody was giving glory. A little while they did not see fish and bread, they started complaining even for ordinary cucumber and garlic. Oh Moses why have you brought us out to this wilderness just to perish here. Is this all? Is this why you suffered us just to come out of Egypt where we were living in plenty, to kill us?
This has always been the problem of the people. No prophet escaped it. William Branham was also mocked the same way by the devil in the form of a man playing a guitar. You are the great healer but see, your God has allowed your father to die, your brother and even now your wife and daughter.
And Branham was almost tempted to reply, what you are saying is true oo but the moment he opened his mouth, the spirit of the Lord spoke out The Lord that giveth is the one that Taketh. No man can decide for God. No man can be His Counselor.
Reference: Isaiah 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being His counselor hath taught Him? (KJV)
Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or as His counselor has taught Him? (AMP)
So I know many mockers are there who will try to upset the faith of the elect. Eh, why couldn’t the Son of Man heal our mother. Why did He allow her exit? Is He not the greatest healer of all time? He that brings the dead to life. The reply is before you.
When the going is good, when it is what you want, Oh, to God be the glory but when it changes, and becomes what you do not want, when the tests and trials of God are coming, rather than blessing the name of God, that same God you have been worshipping becomes ‘This man’. It is because of this man. This is what the unbelievers are saying in their hearts. But the Word of God is finding you out
…Say: “All things are from Allah.” But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact? (Yusuf Ali Translation).
Why is it difficult for people to understand that the devil has no hand in the life of a true seed of God. Whatever is happening in the life of a seed of God is what God has decided to ordain for that child of God for that is what is best for him at that particular point in time’.
Wherever you are, death will find you even if you hide yourselves in firmly constructed towers.
Whenever people experience good fortune, they say that it is from God but whenever they experience misfortune, they say it is because of you, (Muhammad). Tell them, “Everything is from God.” What is wrong with these people that they do not even try to understand? (Muhammad Sarwar Translation).
When they experience misfortune they say, Oh Son of Man has done it again. Why will Son of Man allow this to befall us. But everything comes from God. Why is it difficult for human beings to understand this simple fact. If it is difficult for you, it is simply because you are not an elect of God. If you cannot understand the basis of our rejoicing, it is simply because you are not an elect of God. Amen!
So what is the matter with all miserable comforters, mockers of themselves and not God, who cannot simply understand these mere facts of nature. Nothing happens except that which God has already foretold and allowed.
Our God is still and forever very much with us. Our belief in God is not for this mere illusionary world full of deceit which we are living in today but it is for the coming kingdom of heaven.
So our prayers is not to avoid mere mortal death but to die the death of the righteous that we might have the hope of a better resurrection. Do we get the point?
Surah 3:193-194, ‘Our Lord! Lo! We have heard a crier calling unto Faith:… We have heard the voice of God in our day which has called us, the Watchman called us, crying against all ungodly systems and we ran to God.
…“Believe ye in your Lord!” So we believed… Believe in your Lord; believe in the one and only true God who is the Resurrected Body standing on the earth today and we have believed.
…so we believed in our Lord! Therefor forgive us our sins, and remit from us our evil deeds, and make us die the death of the righteous.
While unbelievers might be mocking, look at the prayer of the righteous. Can you tell me that you do not envy the exit of our mother and wish same for yourself when your life is over? Is it not everyone’s desire that at the end of my life’s journey, may my testimony be like that of sister Nzubechi Odoemena, who maintained an enviable record before God and before man in life and even now in death, obtained the reward;
The true token and is now waiting patiently for that glorious resurrection morning when the saints shall put on the theophany. Is this not my prayer? Is it not yours as well?
So if you are there looking for where to find fault, keep finding, but this is the prayer of every righteous soul.
‘Our Lord! And give us that which Thou hast promised to us by Thy messengers. Confound us not upon the Day of Resurrection. Lo! Thou breakest not the tryst. (Muhammad Pickthall Translation). Amen.
‘Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, [saying], ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die with the righteous. Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise.” (Saheeh International Translation).
God can never fail in His promise that those that die in Christ must surely have a hope of the better resurrection. It is certain, infallible. We are only waiting for time but will it happen? M.U.S.T. It must!
I Corinthians 15:19-26, ‘If we who are [abiding] in Christ have hope only in this life and that is all, then we are of all people most miserable and to be pitied…
If our hope about life ends in this mere illusionary, deceitful world we are living in, then we are the most miserable for as many of us who have believed in Christ. But God forbid!
…But the fact is that Christ (the Messiah) has been raised from the dead, and He became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep [in death]…
The Resurrected Body, The Son of Man, the great One; Apostle Peter Odoemena HBHN Amen. We are living with Him today, the Resurrected Body. The first fruit of those who shall resurrect from the grave. So why wouldn’t we have hope in Christ? Why wouldn’t we be confident even in death?
…For since [it was] through a man that death [came into the world, it is] also through a Man that the resurrection of the dead [has come]…
And that Man is alive today and living in our midst. Do you see why the saints of God are rejoicing and are not in sorrow? Do we have that Man? We have that Man with us! The Resurrected Body!
…For just as [because of their union of nature] in Adam all people die, so also [by virtue of their union of nature] shall all in Christ be made alive… All who died in Christ must come to life again. …But each in his own rank and turn: Christ (the Messiah) [is] the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s [own will be resurrected] at His coming. On that day when the hour comes, all shall be resurrected
…After that comes the end (the completion), when He delivers over the kingdom to God the Father after rendering inoperative and abolishing every [other] rule and every authority and power. For [Christ] must be King and reign until He has put all [His] enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be subdued and abolished is death’ AMP.
The last enemy to be conquered is death! And this is where we are now!
Surah 22:5-7, ‘O People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection,… If you are doubting the resurrection from the dead, then listen to this. Tell us why you are doubting. Is it a mystery to you too great to understand/comprehend? Then why not also explain these other mysteries that occur in nature everyday, let us see if you have the perfect answer to them or if they are different from what we are talking about.
…O people, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed – that We may show you.
And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing.
And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind. That is because Allah is the Truth and because He gives life to the dead and because He is over all things competent. And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming – no doubt about it – and that Allah will resurrect those in the graves. (Saheeh International Translation).
The hour is coming and brethren I say it is now at hand, that the Almighty God must resurrect all those that are in the grave. Oh! I am glad that this voice will come to pass in my generation. Amen! To God be the glory!
Isaiah 25:6-9, ‘And on this Mount [Zion] shall the Lord of hosts make for all peoples a feast of rich things [symbolic of His coronation festival inaugurating the reign of the Lord on earth, is Mount Zion not with us? He is!
…in the wake of a background of gloom, judgment, and terror], a feast of wines on the lees–of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And He will destroy on this mountain the covering of the face that is cast over the heads of all peoples …
that dread over all flesh, God will destroy it in this Personality. …over the heads of all peoples [in mourning], and the veil [of profound wretchedness] that is woven and spread over all nations. He will swallow up death [in victory; He will abolish death forever].
And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; and the reproach of His people He will take away from off all the earth; for the Lord has spoken it…. For the Lord has spoken it and it must come to pass.
The tears flowing down our cheek that our mother is no more with us must one day be taken away and replaced with joy when we shall reunite in the great marriage super of the Lamb. And that day is now upon us.
We give God the glory that this prophecy is with us today, believe it if you can. If your faith cannot carry you there, leave it alone. But I know, I am sure that in the Resurrected Body; Apostle Peter Odoemena HBHN, it shall be fulfilled. Amen!
Finally from the scriptures brethren we read Job 14:14, ‘If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare and service I will wait, till my change and release shall come. AMP.If a man dies, shall he live again?
Brethren, by the scriptures has it not become clear that we shall live again? Sure! Then I will wait for that change whether I am alive or sleeping in the Lord. All of us are awaiting the same thing. What is that thing? The change of this mortal flesh.
So you are not better off because you are in the land of the living. By personal inquiry, I have asked and I keep asking this question, who has experienced a greater privilege from God, is it he that died early or he that will live till old age? But I come to realize that of the two, non is better of.
Life is lived in fulfillment when a man has recognized his purpose upon this earth and has fulfilled the will of the Creator bringing him or her to life and then leaves the scene gloriously. Amen!
This is the condition of our mother today. So it doesn’t matter if you live a 100 years or less, for this world is a mere transitory one.
‘“If a man dies, shall he live again? This thought gives me hope, so that in all my anguish I eagerly await sweet death! LB.
I eagerly await sweet death for I know that if a man dies in Christ today, he must surely live again.

The testimony of Mummy [and the true Bride] is the opposite for the Queen of Paradise was guided all through her physical existence by Christ’s qualities. The testimony that is true remains the manifestation of this gentle wisdom through our meditations, utterances and actions. The true Bride ministers grace to the hearers, confessing what Christ [the Bridegroom] has done unto her salvation

THE WOMAN OF SUBSEQUENT CREATION MEMORIAL SERVICE IN HONOUR OF THE QUEEN OF PARADISE

(MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY ODOEMENA) Part 2. Volume 2 ON Sunday 27^th March, 2022 pg. 66:10 & pg. 115:63

THE TESTIMONY OF A SAINT: NZUBECHI ODOEMENA

Upon this ground, our mother left the scene when the ovation was still very loud knowing fully well that that glorious morning can never pass her by. Knowing she shall arise to meet us on that resurrection morning one of these days being the first fruit of the kingdom of heaven God harvested from among us; The Paradise Queen.

Hear the voice of the Lord and be glad oh ye saints of God from the tape on the 6^th of February 2022 in the message The Indestructible Asylum and I quote,
‘You see why my pride went home when the ovation is still very loud. It is better you leave the scene when the ovation around you is very loud for good than to leave the scene when the ovation is no longer there, when you have been ridiculed….
I quote again, ‘leave the scene when the ovation around you is very loud because of your outstanding performances. That you heard from Me in My intro this morning that Nzubechi decided to agree with the Maker and Creator without hesitation;
‘My dear, this is your perfection. If you intend to stay longer, stories might be told around you, simply agree no pains’. Amen!
And she agreed with the Creator, singing that glorious song for that is the truth; It is well, it is well. With my soul, it is well. It is well, it is well with my soul. To God be the glory!
And that was the truth of the matter. Oh, we give God the glory! The first fruit! She left the scene with the indelible marks of her goodness and virtue.
This is why God taught is that there is no gender in Christ. Whether man or woman, we stand upon the same pedestal before God. Hence, anyone can fulfill his or her ministry and end his or her race with joy.
Follow me to the message; Moses Must Accuse This Generation preached on 28 & 29 May 2021. Part 2 Chapter 3:26-28, ‘So do not allow any silly preacher to write you off if you happen to be a woman. You can be a woman of faith… Is our mother not a woman of faith? She is!
…I have told you time without number, that as far as salvation from God is concerned man and woman, you are standing on the same platform.
If you are a woman, quit yourself like a man. Do not go to bed and begin to marry your bed and marry your pillow and marry your sleep and marry your kitchen.
Your kitchen is useless unless it is being used to serve God’s purpose’. Amen!
So do not say it is all about a man, the first fruit today happens to be our mother. Is she not a woman? But she was a woman of faith, quitting herself like a man, standing true to this gospel truth and today, she has gone home to rest. Amen!
So anybody can stand and fulfil his or her calling in Christ. From the very inception of the faith till now, she maintained a right report with God and she became the standard of judgement to all women if they must be saved. She became the first to collect the white dress even among the womenfolk.
Let us see God extolling her qualities over the years as is littered in His Word, proving her records today to be true and not just mere flattery for base gain. For God cannot lie, He knows who and what is made up of everyone that stands before Him and His testimony concerning all of us is final.
Let us see the spoken word following this great woman of faith all these years to see that she maintained her testimony in Christ till the very end.
I Am The Standard for Judgement to All Men volume 2 preached on 09-10-2012, chapter 2 Page 58:15-25, ‘DREAM on the 07^th of October 2012: I had a dream early hours of this morning where we gathered but I cannot specifically say where it was.
In that dream all sisters lined up in a straight line, everyone on the line kept moving on till she got to the end where our God the Son of Man was sitting with big white material beside Him.
I cannot tell if the white materials where garments but before I could approach that point, I was hearing the voice going forth to majority of the sisters saying, ‘you are not worthy to collect this garment’. Another person would appear. Only few received the positive voice saying, ‘she is worthy to receive the material’.
I was standing with fear because majority received the negative voice, ‘You are not worthy to receive the material’.
However, when it got to my own turn, I heard the voice, ‘She is worthy to collect this material’. My joy knew no bounds when I heard the voice. I was awakened by the fluorescent set alarm by 2:45am by our sister Nzubechi Odoemena… Amen!
Now hear the voice of the Lord concerning that dream. …Be Mindful of the Words that were Spoken against You: I know about it. It is purely scriptural. Whether you will believe it or not, if you want to be saved, line up behind her … or else you are lost.
…once you are a woman, she is your model. She is the standard for your judgement.
I am the standard for Judgement to all men. I do not say it to praise her or to praise Myself, she is your masterpiece. If she can live with Me both spiritually and physically from the beginning till the end, she is worthy of the material…
Has she not lived from the beginning till the end? She has! Is she not over worthy? She is! She has already been given. Thank you Sir!
…What is more? I believe from the very onset the voice that brought her to Me. I never married her carnally. The testimony has gone worldwide. I know how she came my way and I know how she has been faring from that day.
I picked her from the home of idolatry, in short she came from Egypt. This is pure truth. Anybody from Nsugbe in this Faith? Not even one. Not even half.
Once you mention Nsugbe, what will come to mind is idolatry. You talk of church, it is not in their program. Even the Roman Catholic church there, many of them do not go. Those that attend it, it does not hinder them from continuing in their idolatry. CMS the same thing.
In CMS I do not know whether they are up to ten. The Pentecostal church there, it is attended by strangers only. Is only recently they started producing some commercial Pastors who own churches as Pentecostals.
There is a reason for that. Moses picked His wife at the command of the Lord. Check all the men of God or God’s men, check where God led them to.
Ruth was a Moabite, yet from Ruth the Messiah came. Abigail was a stark heathen, pagan, Nabal’s wife, from her lineage the Messiah came. Looking at the whole thing, it is as clear as the day.
What can you say about Bathsheba the Hittite, from her loins the Messiah came. Are you surprised? Narrow it down to Mary the mother of Jesus Christ who was an Egyptian woman that sojourned in Bethlehem with Joseph the Nazarite.
This is the perfect will of God. When you wallowed in ignorance is over. If you are desirous of Eternal Life God has given you everything pertaining to life and godliness that you may attain His divine nature, man and woman.
How did He do it? He came presenting a family, He came presenting Himself and His family, so that that which you cannot understand because of your low retentive memory, your eyes will capture all’.
So that no one is with an excuse. That is why in this message Appointment and Confirmation Before Promotion volume 2 chapter 5:5-7, God said, ‘If you are not named after Apostle Peter Odoemena’s family, forget about eternal life. Period!
And for you to be named after My family, you must put your legs into My shoes. My standpoint must be your standpoint, you must believe what I believe, you must behave the way I behave. If it is possible, drink what I drink and eat what I eat. Sleep the way I sleep and talk the way I talk.
We must have the same uniform. I cannot wear white and you wear black in paradise, is it not true? And that is why she is our standard, as the Almighty is our standard for everyone.
Let us go to The Confirmation of the Son of Man by the Ancient Book of Enoch preached on 12-06-2019, Chapter 3 Page 50:57-66,
‘If I should be asked to mention the person that is most favoured of all human beings, I would say that my wife is the most favoured. She was the one who prayed when she did not know the personality of God that God should make it possible for her to know who He (God) is.
Her whole plea was for God to help her know whom the personality called God is so that she can worship Him. She was making this prayer for herself as a spinster, she did not pray for husband.
All she asked for was that God should give her a husband that will help her to be practically acquainted with God.
She never prayed for the one that will come and buy her a car, build a house for her, then she will keep giving birth till the whole house is filled with children. God looked into her heart and knew that her prayer was a request that was rare for a spinster to make for the things that blind young girls are different.
God now singled her out and kept her where she would get married as one that has another spirit.
At the end of the day, God who has been hiding Himself since all the ages, He is the God that hideth Himself, an expert in concealing Himself (Isaiah 45:15), He hid Himself from her. The same Almighty God came her way in the form of a human being and hid Himself completely in everything.
If He wants to talk to her, He drops few words and closes His mouth. The first instruction I dropped for her was when we where already living together and I told her, look at Me, do not ever take Me the way you take other human beings, I am not an ordinary human being like that.
Any day I talk to you and you turn and look at Me with disregard, that day you will have trouble. If care is not taken, you will die. She is here, you can ask her.
Little by little, I kept on revealing things to her, things were happening. Both the good ones and the bad ones. It became like a school to her, she was learning. I then placed the Word of God before her, I kept on training her until she grew beyond those that started before her even the Pastors.
She was growing with Me on every passing day, at the end of this life, He that concealed Himself came out, she now saw the warning God gave us at Amazu Oil, from the tapping of the feet, we have now joined in the dancing’. That is true, Amen!
From the message, You Are Gods (Reviewed) preached on 06-01-2013, page 57 chapter 3:10-12, ‘Knowing the Personality you are having dealings with.
Nzubechi have you known your husband? If you remember what He told you as at 1998, He said that you can do everything but any day I talk to you or rebuke you and you violate it, that day, you will have problem to the point that if you are not careful, you might even die.
She attempted it and fainted. We where not in any church then, am I telling lies? It got to a day, I called and sat her down, told her that if I tell her who I am, she will never accept My hand in marriage.
Then some years, I called her and asked her, if you knew that what you are seeing now will come out, would you have married Me? She said Never! Even my parents would not have agreed. In other words, I sought you and I found you.
I am the one that looked for her. Does she know where Mbaise is situated? Has she crossed Upper Iweka before? Does she know where Owerri is located? I remember the day I took her to my hometown, she was just watching left and right, to God be the glory!
Experiences she was encountering kept transforming her. Watch her biography, it was a gradual transition, everyday coming to know who the Personality, who was her husband is.
And so was she submitting the more to Him, giving God the glory that her early prayer that God should reveal Himself to her has come to pass in her life. The more she knew about God, the more humble and submissive she was. Oh! We give God the glory! May this also be our own testimony someday.
Secrets of Ideal, Peaceful and Harmonious Habitation in the Family of God preached on 31-12-2012. Chapter 2 Page 40:1-6, ‘I am giving secrets for ideal, peaceful and harmonious habitation which if you imbibe it, it will be well with you.
You want to be the Son of Man and His wife today, you are desiring a very good thing but you must learn the secrets.
I watched all of you last night, there is not even one that can cope with the troubles of the Son of Man without packing away. The worst husband I know under the sun is the Son of Man. Marrying the Son of Man means marrying trouble.
Do you think it is easy to marry the Son of Man? Can you live with Me for one day? Even if I do not beat you, My eyes; the way I will look at you will cause you to melt. It is better I beat you than glancing at you.
I dare not use My mouth, but when I want to use it, the pillars of the building must shake. It causes earthquake. Everywhere would be vibrating. Yes I do not express My anger by force, I express it by roaring. You know what I mean by roaring?
It is not easy to marry the Son of Man. That your husband you think is the worse man, give that your husband to sister Nzubechi Odoemena, she will present the best husband to the entire world.
A man is nothing but what his wife makes him. In the same way, a woman is nothing but what her husband makes her’. You see why she is fondly called Nwanyi nweulo. It is her pet name.
Let us go to page 45:16-17, ‘You want to be like Sister Nzubechi Odoemena, like sister Sarah, I show you the secret. I am touching on the weak point that are common to all men.
If she could control the excesses of the Son of Man, who is that fellow she cannot control? This year is almost My twenty six years of marriage and nobody has ever stepped into our marital life either from her side or My side or from among you to settle dispute for one day.
And I have never for one day set My hand on her and would never, for I know I am the cause of the problem. She is here, verify from her’.
Page 70:24-27, ‘Do you know that it is easier for children to learn from their mother than to learn from their father?
The closest friend to every mother remains her children. How I wish many of you have access to My family. If you see sister Nzubechi, you want to pattern after interacting with her children, you will think that they are mates unless somebody will tell you that this is their mother.
Sometimes she would desire to put on their dresses for them to admire her. If you see them cracking their little jokes in their own way, sharing their food, sharing their snacks, if you see them dancing together, it will take a prophet to tell you that this is their mother, tell me where they will have that heart to hurt her? To do her hurt?…
And they did not hurt her rather they obeyed her to her last wish and words to the grave.
…Why is it so? Is there anybody in this Bridal Faith who does not know that Nzubechi takes the Son of Man as her king of kings and Lord of Lords? Is there anybody in this most Holy Faith who has not discovered it?
But there are some in this Faith who feel very happy whenever their husbands are away. They will be having revival’. Amen!
I am bringing all these testimonies of over the years so that we can see it ourselves. These are but a few of the litany of testimonies scattered across various messages of the virtues, character and attributes of our mother which she carried on from the inception of the faith even till date. Amen!
I still want to go to the message Bridal Public Address part 2 volume 2 preached on 22-05-2021. Chapter 4:69-70, ‘I have told you that if you succeed in bringing your wife to obedience to the truth, you have succeeded in training all your children.
But if your wife eludes you, all your children must elude you. I hope you are hearing what I am saying? If your wife eludes you, all your children must elude you. It is incontestable. It is as clear as the day’.
This is where the Almighty obtained victory even in His home. That is why He was saying it even on the burial day that we know why He had success in this ministry. You know the way My wife behaved. How serious she was. If she was not that way, would I have succeeded till today? So we give God the glory for that.
Appointment and Confirmation Before Promotion volume 3 chapter 5, ‘THE FIRST TRAINING A MAN GIVES IS TO THE WIFE… THE FIRST TRAINING A MAN GIVES GOES TO THE WIFE BEFORE CHILDREN WILL BEGIN TO COME. IN OTHER WORDS, A MAN TRAINS HIS WIFE SO THAT SHE WILL NOW IN TURN TRAIN THE CHILDREN’.
Appointment and Confirmation Before Promotion volume 3 chapter 5, ‘The problem is that we jump into marriage without training. Sure!!!
We marry our wives. We did not train our wives. And we wish to have a family like THE SON OF MAN. Is it possible?… Can it happen? You hear My testimony of how I took My time. And even till today, I have to say it.
Look at this study Bible. This is My study Bible which I handed over to My wife. I never gave her money. I never gave her Intorica or Jorge. And she never went about naked. The highest gift I gave to My wife; she preserved it till today.
You see this Bible I am holding? This Bible in the hand of My wife is thirty-two years, but in My hand, this Bible is more than thirty-five years. This is My study Bible. I marked it within and without.
Although it is now in shreds, yet My wife is still preserving it, for that is the highest thing I gave her. Hold this Bible. Then I bought another Bible also from the World Bible Society. Another study Bible that helped two of us to stay together.
And where ever we were staying, either outside or inside, we never came outside without holding it. We had no other conversation than scriptural conversation.
And that was why within the shortest period, I raised her above the overseer of Baptist Church, above even every clergy, and above all the End Time Message, even till today. She does not joke with Scriptures, for that was what I espoused her to. And that was My greatest treasure.
Is not what one has that he gives out to another person? That was what I had. And that was what I gave to her. I equally held on to it and is still using it to hold her till today.
That is what we handed over to all our children. We used it to place a sign before God thus; Any of my children that I give a Bible and he/she rejects it, I will know that such a child is not mine’.
Appointment and Confirmation before Promotion volume 3 preached on 28-06-2020, chapter 2, ‘Is it not virtue that people respect in a human being? For anybody, whether man or woman, it is your virtue that earns you respect.
This is the reason My wife and I were respected in the Federal Ministry of Labour. A woman came, her fellow woman, who was married with children and enquired from My wife whether she ever quarrels with her husband.
“Do you ever get tired of this your husband? You are living in the same house with your husband and sleeping on the same bed and when you come to the office you are entangled together. When your husband is on break, and when his colleagues have all gone to the place of eating and drinking, your break time is still spent with him on his table. And your husband’s break time is equally spent on your own table.”
Who can believe it that My house is very close to the office. Yet, there had never been a day I said I was going for break and went home to My house. Who will I go there to look for knowing that all My children are in school? My wife and I are there in the office. Even if she is eating groundnuts, she will leave some that I will eat when I come back from work.
I do not know whether you understand what I am saying? We were sharing our testimonies the other day and I said, “God, to You belongeth the Victory, Glory, Honour, Praise, Adoration, Majesty, Who kept Me in Onitsha and I retired in Onitsha.”
Despite all the move they made to move Me away, My director said no because I was doing that which was pleasing to all of them. They never allowed my transfer away from Onitsha. I started work in Onitsha and retired in Onitsha after twenty-seven years.
The same thing is applicable to My wife. They transferred her to Lagos, but God said no. They transferred her to Abuja, but God said no. Her colleagues said no. The Director also refused, stating that he will never get an Administrative Officer that will be like Mrs. Odoemena.
Her transfer was prevented everywhere and she was brought back to Onitsha. And by the grace of God, she will retire here in Onitsha. I am the One that benefitted thereof, even the two of us.
What it did for us that we got married in Onitsha, lived together in Onitsha, had children in Onitsha, blended together and we are still remaining together till now. 32 years. We never parted. We never parted from our children for one day.
Even if I go to work in Kaduna, Lagos or anywhere, I still come back. Even if I go for this course she attended, we are coming back. We never parted from our children for one day. But there are some whose wife will be working at Zaki Biam while they are working at Zungeruwa. Some will be in Bauchi, while the wife will be in Maiduguri.
Some will be in Lagos, and the wife will be in Abuja. This is just to amass worldly riches. The man will be in custody of some of the children while the wife will be staying with some.
Look at the picture of the family. BUT MONEY NEVER INFORMED OUR DECISIONS. WHAT INFORMED OUR DECISIONS WAS SERVICE TO GOD AND THE LOVE WE HAD FOR OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN’.
Brethren is this not glorious? In the Faith she had a glorious testimony, among the heathens, the same glorious testimony. In her place of work and wherever she went, she carried a glorious testimony. Why wouldn’t you want your own to be like this? Why wouldn’t I want my own to be like this? Amen!
The Words of Our Father Are The Words of Wisdom Volume 2 preached on 02-05-2021.Chapter 2:27-31, ‘Until the LORD Himself assigns a wife to you, then you will have rest all the days of your life…
Was this not what our mother gave to the Lord? Was it not what He had? Rest all the days of His life!
…But remember that for God to give you that wife, you MUST be godly, for God will not assign a godly wife to an ungodly man. Neither will He assign a godly man to an ungodly woman. The LORD will not do it, for that means punishing the other for an offence he or she never committed.
The best wife is the one that will help you to strengthen your faith in Christ. If you are a man, she will be supportive to your calling and Ministry in Christ, and not one that will be showing interest only in amassing wealth and in commanding influence in the world and is disregarded by God.
ANY WOMAN WHOSE INFLUENCE IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD IS AN UNGODLY WOMAN. A MAN WHOSE INFLUENCE IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD IS AN UNGODLY MAN. THAT IS WHY YOU CANNOT BE SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL.
YOU CANNOT BE SOCIAL AND ALSO SPIRITUAL. ONE IS OPPOSED TO THE OTHER’.
Our mother was not a social woman. Her concern was not about amassing worldly wealth. Do you see the reason why even when she had gone so far in her academic pursuit, one word from our Lord; ‘Halt that certificate for it is not coming to My home’, at that height just but a defense to attain her Masters degree, she dropped everything. For she knew the voice that spoke to her and it was to her credit.
That was not her interest. Her interest was not to command respect in the society and to be disregarded by God. A woman with a masculine disposition, it was not our mother but her interest was the service of the Almighty and that was why she built her family on that foundation.
This is the example we are copying even today. We are saying all these things so that the living can learn. Let the living learn from the examples which has been set by a righteous one.
The Words of Our Fathers Are The Words of Wisdom Volume 1 chapter 4:6, ‘Every man and every woman who is godly must have a last minute blessing for the children; last minute admonishment for the children. Who will get it? It will be one that walks close to the father or who walks close to the mother’.
Was this not the testimony of our mother, who blessed all around her while on her bedside and passed messages both to her children, to all the brethren and individuals, local assemblies, everyone received the words of blessings. A sure sign that she was a righteous, virtuous and godly soul/woman leaving the scene.
For there is always that room for the last minute blessing. And we thank God that we all received it. Upon this backdrop, I spur the entire saints to maintain their godly confessions in Christ till the very end just like our beloved mother whose undying love and good works remains alive even with us today.
Let us go to the book of 2^nd Corinthians 10:17-18, ‘But as the scripture says, “Whoever wants to boast must boast about what the Lord has done.”
We are not boasting about what somebody has done or what our mother did but rather of what the Lord has done and accomplished in the life of our mother
…For it is people of whom the Lord thinks well who are really approved, not people who think well of themselves’ GNB.
Is it not the Words of God we have been considering about our mother? Who approved her? Was it man? Never! But the Almighty God! Hence this is the prayer you and I should have.
Boast of what the Lord has done in your life. But the Lord cannot do something in your life if you do not humble and submit yourself to Him, if you are not loyal to Him. God will not come into one who is arrogant and spits against the word of God, one who treats the word of God with disdain, God cannot dwell in such a one.
It is one who is loyal, who is submissive, that the will of God will be accomplished in his or her life. One that will have the testimony of God following him or her just like our virtuous mother resting today and we are praying that that should be our testimony.
Let us remain humble so that God can speak and use us as veritable tools. At the end, the commendations of God and the approval of God for you or for me will be to your credit and my credit.

CONCLUSION

Therefore Brethren, in concluding this sermon, I read once again the message: This is the Harvest Time [Thank You Lord]. That was where we started from and now I go back there having seen where we are. Let us conclude by reminding ourselves again.

Volume 1 chapter 2 Page 77:76, ‘THIS IS THE HARVEST TIME. Everything is ripe, for God said, “O SON OF MAN, look into the field, for the crops are ripe, even unto harvest. Thrust in the sickle. Harvest the crops first.”
Everything is ripe, harvest the crops first and this is what is happening right now. God is harvesting those that are His before the burning of the chaff. This is the Harvest Time and there is no going back.
Let us therefore be very careful about the critical hour we have rolled into. Knowing fully well that the harvest of the saints has started, the first fruit has been picked and it shall not seize until God has concluded everything and then the reward shall come.
Therefore, let the following passage be our guiding principle in our daily lives and conduct at this point in time. The same message chapter 3 Page 109:92.
‘HARVEST TIME! LET US BE VERY CAREFUL. LET US BE VERY CAREFUL AND RE-EXAMINE [1] WHERE WE ARE, [2] WHAT WE ARE DOING, [3] WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US AND [4] WHAT IS HAPPENING IN US. AMEN!
It is the thing that a man hides in his heart that shall stop him from crossing the gate on that day. Examine these things carefully and may the Holy Spirit help you to set it right.
This must be our watch word, carry it in your heart wherever you are and keep on meditating thereby until we get to that great day. We give God the glory in everything. The loving Lord that has been sustaining us, may He continue to sustain us till we finally cross that gate.
Until then, meditate on the truth. You have seen where we are and the hour we are in; we have come to the end of the Bridal Age, we have come to the end of all things.
Let no man deceive you, Christ is on His way home with the much He has gathered in Himself. I pray you will be in that number, as I pray to be in that number and so shall it be as long as we continue to humble ourselves in the hands of the Almighty.
On this note my beloved brethren, I say Remain in your sanctified estate, Remain Blessed in Him Eternally!
